    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die neuen Kunststoffprothesen bestehen aus Polyúrethan, das nach einem speziellen Sprühverfahren verarbeitet wird. Die Prothesen sind längs- und querelastisch sowie mikroporös. In tierexperimentellen Untersuchungen wurden 20mal die terminale Aorta, 24mal die arteria carotis communis und 12mal die arteria femoralis superficialis ersetzt. Die Tiere wurden in regelmäßigen Abst↭den angiographiert. Nach Tötung erfolgten rasterelektronenmikroskopische und histologische Untersuchungen. Von 20 Aortentransplantaten blieben 18 bis zum Zeitpunkt der Tötung, bzw. bis heute offen. In Carotisposition scheinen sich die Transplantate nicht zu bewähren.
    Notes: Summary The new plastic graft consists of polyurethane manufactured in a special spray process. These grafts are elastic both transversally and longitudinally and are microporous. In experiments on animals, the abdominal aorta was substituted 20 times, the common carotid artery 24 times, and the superficial femoral artery 12 times. The animals were regularly subjected to angiographical examinations. After they were killed, they were examined histologically and by means of a scanning electronic microscope. Of the 20 abdominal grafts, 18 have remained open to date. Carotis grafts, however, seemed to fail.

    Notes: Previous studies have shown that sexual activity increases the weight of the accessory sex glands significantly, while the organ weights correlate inversely with the assayable androgen receptor concentrations in the prostate of sexually active versus sexually resting rats. In an effort to determine the structural basis of this phenomenon, the ventral prostates of adult rats kept with female rats for 4-6 months (HE-rats) were compared to those kept in groups of 5 males in one cage (HO-rats) for the same period. As an estimate of the secretory function of the gland the concentration of prostatic binding protein (PBP) was determined in prostatic cytosols using a highly specific ELISA. Catecholamines were measured by means of HPLC and subsequent electrochemical detection. Morphological studies included immunocytochemistry of PBP, visualization of adrenergic nerves, stereological analysis of stromal and glandular compartments of the prostate, and electron microscopy of the epithelium.The main findings were as follows: (1) The prostates of HE-rats were 35% heavier than those of the HO-rats. (2) The content in secretion was in the same range in both HE-rats and HO-rats (1.5 and 1.44 mg PBP per 1 mg DNA). (3) Immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy demonstrated a very homogeneous secretion within the glandular lumen of HO-rats with a diminished amount of secretory material within the glandular cells.In HE-rats the glandular lumina were clearly larger in diameter and intraluminal secretion was less homogeneously stained. The height of the epithelium was increased and the individual secretory cells contained several secretory granules. Within the prostatic stroma the profiles of adrenergic nerves were more numerous in HE-rats, and a greater total amount of noradrenaline was present. At the fine structural level signs of enhanced membrane turnover, such as lysosomal structures, were prominent in prostatic epithelium of HE-rats, while in HO-rats mostly dense bodies were observed. The results indicate that sexual activity results in the functional adaption (activity hypertrophy) of the prostate as a result of nerve-associated control of glandular activity.
