    Notes: Summary Sham-operated and pinealectomized male rats were maintained at 14h light: 10 h dark cycles (lights-on 5.00 h) and injected daily, for 14 days, with oxazepam or vehicle.125I-melatonin binding was recorded in synaptosomes prepared at 10.00, 18.00, and 24.00 h from the hypothalamus, hippocampus and medulla-pons of the rats. In the sham-operated, vehicle treated rats, specific125I-melatonin binding in all brain areas studied was higher at 18.00 h, whereas in the oxazepam-treated animals, binding was higher at 24.00 h than at the other times tested. In the pinealectomized, vehicle-treated rats, the binding recorded at 18.00 h in all three brain areas, was lower than at the other times of day tested. Oxazepam treatment decreased125I-melatonin binding at 24.00 h in the hippocampus and medulla-pons of the pinealectomized rats and did not significantly affect the binding in the hypothalamus. These results indicate the ability of oxazepam, pinealectomy and their combination, to manipulate the diurnal variations in125I-melatonin binding sites in the rat brain.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Warm ischemia is known to induce substantial damage to the liver parenchyma. With respect to clinical liver transplantation, the tolerance of the liver to warm ischemia and the preservation of these organs have not been studied in detail. In isolated reperfused pig livers we proceeded according to the following concept: Livers were subjected to 1 or 3 h of warm ischemia. Subsequently, these organs were preserved by either normothermic perfusion or cold storage (histidine-tryptophan-α-ketoglutarate, HTK) for 3 h each. After storage, liver function was assessed in a reperfusion circuit for another 3 h. Parameters under evaluation were bile flow, perfusion flow, oxygen consumption, enzyme release into the perfusate (creatine kinase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), lactic dehydrogenase, and glutamic pyruvic transaminase), and histomorphology. Damage to the liver was lowest after warm ischemia of 1 h. The results after cold storage were superior to those after normothermic perfusion (GOT: 3.2±0.3 and 2.6±0.2 U/g liver; cumulative bile production: 14.7±2.1 and 9.4±1 ml, respectively;P〈0.05). In contrast, we found substantial damage at the end of reperfusion in livers undergoing 3 h of warm ischemia under both preservation techniques with severe hepatocellular pyknoses and essentially altered nonparenchymal cells. The results suggest that pig livers undergoing 1 h of warm ischemia and cold storage for 3 h with HTK solution may lead to functioning after transplantation.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Verwendung von Lebern mit einer Vorschädigung durch warme Ischämie zur Transplantation wird kontrovers diskutiert. Im Modell der isoliert reperfundierten Schweineleber wurden nach vorausgegangener warmer Ischämie von 1 oder 3 h die Konservierungskonzepte „kalte Konservierung mit HTK-Lösung (Histidin-Tryptophan-α-Ketoglutarat)“ und „normotherme Perfusion“ für jeweils 3 h verglichen. Während einer 3 stündigen Reperfusion wurden neben einer lichtmikroskopischen Auswertung Gallefluß, Perfusionsfluß, Sauerstoffverbrauch und Enzymfreisetzung (Creatin-Kinase, Glutamat-Oxalacetat-Transaminase, Glutamat-Pyruvat-Transaminase und Laktat-Dehydrogenase) gemessen. Nach 1 stündiger warmer Ischämie führte die kalte Konservierung im Vergleich zur normothermen Perfusion zu einer geringeren Schädigung (GOT: 3,2±0,3 und 2,6±0,2 U/g Leber; Gesamtgallefluß: 14,7±2,1 und 9,4±1 ml;P〈0,05). Nach einer warmen Ischämie von 3 h waren bei beiden Konservierungsverfahren die Veränderungen erheblich. Die lichtmikroskopische Untersuchung zeigte Pyknosen von Hepatozyten und sinusoidalen Zellen mit teilweiser Auslösung aus dem Zellverband. Die Ergebnisse belegen, daß im Modell der isoliert reperfundierten Schweineleber eine warme Ischämie von 1 h toleriert wird. Für die Konservierung dieser vorgeschädigten Organe kann das Konzept der hypothermen Konservierung mit HTK-Lösung für einen Zeitraum bis zu 3 h empfohlen werden.

    Notes: Summary PGE2 was shown to play an essential role in the gonado-inhibiting effect of melatonin in Syrian hamsters by transforming the neuroendocrine signal to gonadal reactivity. Prostaglandin is a vital link in the transduction of photoperiodic information into gonadal function and the difference in its levels brought about by melatonin given at different times of the day could explain the phenomenon why gonadal involution occurs only upon administration of melatonin towards the end of the day. It appears also that the melatonin signal is decoded in the pituitary, probably involving the short loop negative feedback of LH on LH-RH hormones.
