    Notizen: Abstract Rats were implanted with stimulating electrodes aimed at the medial forebrain bundle-lateral hypothalamus (MFB-LH) and were trained to lever-press for brain self-stimulation on a fixed interval: 60 s schedule of reinforcement. The effects of graded doses of naloxone (0.1–30 mg/kg), morphine (0.3–5.6 mg/kg), naloxone plus morphine,d-amphetamine (0.03–1.0 mg/kg), naloxone plusd-amphetamine, phencyclidine (0.3–5.6 mg/kg), and naloxone plus phencyclidine were tested. Naloxone produced a significant decrease in rates at 30 mg/kg. Naloxone (0.1–1.0 mg/kg) plus morphine blocked the dose-dependent decrease produced by morphine alone. In contrast, naloxone (1.0–10 mg/kg) plusd-amphetamine attenuated the graded increase in response rates produced byd-amphetamine. Naloxone (1.0–10 mg/kg) plus phencyclidine did not reliably change the increase in response rates produced by phencyclidine alone. The use of the fixed interval schedule of brain self-stimulation to study these drug interactions is novel, and further demonstrates that the highly reinforcing aspects of brain stimulation, known to be influenced by dopamine, may also be modulated by the endogenous opiate system.

    Notizen: Abstract Rats were implanted with stimulating electrodes aimed either at the medial forebrain bundle-lateral hypothalamus (MFB-LH) or the midbrain-central gray (MID-GG), and were trained to lever-press for brain self-stimulation on a fixed ratio: 15 schedule of reinforcement. The dose-dependent effects of morphine (0.1–3.0 mg/kg), naloxone (0.1–30 mg/kg), and naltrexone (0.1–30 mg/kg) were then determined during 1 h test sessions. Both naloxone and naltrexone decreased the rate of responding in the MFB-LH as well as in the MID-CG. However, decrements in response rates were produced in the MID-CG by both naloxone and naltrexone at one tenth the doses required to produce similar decrements with electrodes in the MFB-LH. Dose-dependent decreases in response rates produced by morphine occurred at the same doses in the two electrode sites. At both sites, the decreases in response rates produced by the highest dose of morphine were antagonized completely by a low dose of naloxone (0.1 mg/kg). At an intermediate dose of naloxone (1.0 mg/kg), antagonism occurred in the MFB-LH but not in the MID-CG. At a high dose of naloxone (10 mg/kg), a depression in lever-pressing occurred at both sites in the morphine-treated animal indicating that the depressive action predominated over antagonism. These data explain the lack of consistency of the effects of naloxone on brain self-stimulation previously reported by different laboratories, and demonstrate that the use of partial reinforcement schedules in a rational approach to the evaluation of opioid effects on brain self-stimulation behavior.

    Notizen: Abstract A two-choice discrimination task was used to evaluate the effects of psychoactive drugs on the discriminative stimulus properties of brain self-stimulation in rats. In these experiments, brain stimulation served both as a discriminative stimulus and as a reinforcing stimulus, but the two effects were manipulated separately. Animals were trained to a criterion of 95% correct in choosing between two levers, and when this levels of accuracy was reached, the ability to choose correctly remained stable over an 8-month period. Increasing the current strength of the discriminative stimulus from zero to 100% of the training current produced a graded increase in the number of trials completed on the appropriate lever. The discriminative effects produced by brain stimulation were evaluated pharmacologically by using three prototypical psychoactive drugs in an attempt to change the detection threshold for the discriminative stimulus. Morphine, d-amphetamine, and haloperidol, drugs that reliably alter reinforcement thresholds for brain stimulation, failed to change detection thresholds. These results demonstrated that: (1) brain stimulation produces potent and reliable discriminative effects and (2) the effects of psychoactive drugs on detection thresholds can be dissociated from their effects on reinforcement thresholds for brain stimulation.

    Notizen: The treatment of male factor-related infertility has been approached with the advent of several methods for microsurgical fertilization, such as the partial dissection of the zona pellucida (PZD) and the injection of sperm into the perivitelline space (PVSI) of oocytes. These techniques are designed to increase sperm-oolemma interaction by circumventing passage of the sperm through the zona pellucida. The present study was performed to evaluate the influence of PZD and PVSI on the in vitro development of mouse embryos by assessing the rate of sister chromatid exchange (SCE). SCE is considered to be a sensitive indirect indicator of DNA lesions due to various conditions. Oocytes were cultured in vitro after PZD or PVSI and then examined for SCE. There was no significant difference in SCE between control and treatment groups of embryos and the values were similar to those reported by Saito et al. (Fertil Steril 41:460-464, 1984). The rate of SCE was low during the first two mitotic cycles, then increased from cycle two to three before declining slightly between the 3rd and 4th cycles of cell division. These data demonstrate that the direct interaction of sperm and oocyte by PZD or PVSI did not have an adverse effect on the development of mouse embryos as assessed by the rate of SCE. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Rhodamine phalloidin (Rph) staining was used to examine the microfilament organization of the Xenopus laevis egg cortex during the early stages of fertilization. Unactivated eggs possessed a cytochalasin B (CR)-insensitive Rph-stained matrix that was reorganized upon egg activation and diminished in the presence of CB. Xenopus laevis sperm caused a temporary local increase in Rph staining on the Xenopus cortex. In CB-treated eggs, the local increases of cortical Rph staining later changed to a Rph-free area. These temporary local increases of cortical Rph staining were also observed when Notophthalmus viridescens sperm fertilized Xenopus and Rana pipiens eggs, and were followed by the appearance of concentric rings of stained and unstained areas. Our data suggest that Xenopus and Notophthalmus sperm have activities that can both organize and disrupt the cortical filamentous actin of the Xenopus egg. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The thrombospondins are a family of related glycoproteins found in the embryonic extracellular matrix. To date, five members of this family have been identified. Thrombospondin-1 and thrombospondin-2 have similar primary structure, but are expressed in different tissues at different times during development. Thrombospondins-3, -4, and cartilage oligomeric protein belong to a second thrombospondin subgroup in which the carboxyl-half of each molecule is most similar to thrombospondin-1 and -2. Here, we report the cloning and sequencing of a novel probe to avian thrombospondin-4. We have used this probe to determine the origins of thrombospondin-4 in the chick embryo by in situ hybridization. Thrombospondin-4 transcripts first appear in the mesenchyme surrounding bone anlage coinciding with the initial stages of osteogenesis. The expression in osteogenic tissues is transient: thrombospondin-4 mRNAs are not seen in the osteoblasts of bone collars in developing long bones. This pattern is distinct from avian thrombospondin-2, which is expressed in perichondrium and embryonic fibrous connective tissues. Our observations indicate that connective tissues are the principal site of thrombospondin-4 expression in the chick. The diverse origins of different thrombospondin gene family members imply distinctive roles for these proteins related to the growth and differentiation of cartilage, tendons, and bone. ©1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Cast linear polyethylene films subjected to dry and solvent annealing display markedly different sorption and difusion barrier properties than do untreated films. The subsequent sorption of liquid o- and p-xylene and cis- and trans-acetylene dichloride per unit volume of amorphous polymer increases as the annealing temperature and/or treating solvent concentration increases. Integral diffusivities calculated from sorption and steady-state permeation rates show a monotonic increase with sorption per unit volume of amorphous polymer. The concentration dependence, however, is less marked than observed in similar systems at low permeant activity. Apparently the above treatment reduces the effective crosslinking imposed by the crystallites on the amorphous polymer chains through disentangling and incorporating some of these chains into crystallites. Thus the polymer is capable of a greater degree of swelling when brought into contact with a compatible liquid in a spite of a higher degree of crystallinity. The low concentration dependence of the diffusivities is probably due to heterogeneous distribution of excess permeant in a treated film. If the excess permeant were preferentially sorbed in regions of low polymer concentration then the above observations could be explained. Long-duration, osmotic stress-induced swelling and recrystallization have been cited to account for time-dependent permeation rates in treated and untreated films.

    Notizen: The configurational entropy of the polyethylene chain at the melting points calculated in two ways. In both calculations, tetrahedral angles and discrete trans and gauche arrangements of all bonds are assumed, and trans bonds are assumed more stable than gauche by energy U1. First, calculations are made on chains of up to N = 18 bonds, disallowing all configurations having overlapping atoms, and the result is extrapolated to large N. Second, a calculation is made directly for long chains, with overlaps excluded only over every short chain segment. The results are in almost exact agreement, suggesting that the second method can be safely used with other molecules. The calculated configurational entropy is in line with that suggested by the entropy of fusion, assuming the chains to acquire a configurational freedom in the melt which approaches that of independent chains.

    Notizen: A vacuome (‘Golgi apparatus’) consisting of small globular inclusions has been demonstrated in Chlamydomonas sp. These inclusions may be seen in the living, unstained organism; they are stainable vitally with neutral red; they have been stained vitally with neutral red and then blackened with osmic vapor under direct observation, and they have been impregnated by osmic and silver methods without previous treatment with neutral red.The reaction of these inclusions to the iodin test for starch suggests that they may play some rǒle, possibly one of storage, in the cycle of starch metabolism.

    Notizen: The parotid and the principal and accessory submandibular glands of the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus (Vespertilionidae), were examined using light microscopy and staining methods for mucosubstances. The parotid gland is a compound tubuloacinar seromucous gland. Parotid gland secretory cells contain both neutral and nonsulfated acidic mucosubstances. The principal and accessory submandibular glands are compound tubuloacinar mucus-secreting glands. They contain somewhat atypical mucus-secreting demilunar cells that often appear to be interspersed between mucous tubule cells. The mucous tubule cells in both the principal and accessory submandibular glands contain sulfomucins. Demilunar cells of the principal submandibular gland contain moderate amounts of nonsulfated acidic mucosubstances, but the corresponding cells of the accessory submandibular gland contain considerable neutral mucosubstance with very little acid mucosubstance. Intercalated ducts composed of cuboidal or low columnar epithelial cells are present in all three glands. Striated ducts in all glands are composed of columnar cells whose apices bulge into the ductal lumina. Excretory ducts are composed of simple columnar epithelium, with occasional basal cells that suggest a possible pseudostratified nature. The cells of the excretory ducts also have bulging apices. All duct types contain apical cytoplasmic secretory material that is a periodic acid-Schiff positive, neutral mucosubstance. Ductal apical secretory material is more evident in intercalated and striated ducts than in excretory ducts.
