    Notes: Abstract 1. Isolated intact spinach chloroplasts respond to changes of the sorbitol concentration of the suspending medium as near-perfect osmometers within a large range of osmotic potentials. Under isotonic conditions (π=9–10 bar), their average osmotic volume is 24 μm3 and the total volume 36 μm3. The osmotic volume can be increased to 63 μm3 by lowering the sorbitol concentration until a critical osmotic potential of π=4 bar is reached. Below that value chloroplasts rupture. Between 10 bar and 4 bar, volume changes are reversible. 2. Increasing the chloroplast volume above 24 μm3 causes inhibition of photosynthesis, with 50% inhibition occurring at an osmotic potential of π=5–6 bar. This corresponds to an osmotic volume of 45–55 μm3. Depending on the duration of hypotonic treatment, inhibition of photosynthesis is more or less reversible. 3. Between 4 and 10 bar, the chloroplast envelope exhibits a very low permeability for ferricyanide, many metabolites, and soluble stroma proteins. 4. Electron transport is not inhibited by swelling of chloroplasts. Also, the ATP/ADP-ratio remains unchanged. 5. The solute concentration in the chloroplasts appears to be optimal for photosynthesis at 10 bar. Increasing the chloroplast volume causes inhibition of photosynthesis by dilution effects.

    Notes: Abstract The reversibility of the inhibition of photosynthetic reactions by water stress was examined with four systems of increasing complexity—stromal enzymes, intact chloroplasts, mesophyll protoplasts, and leaf slices. The inhibition of soluble chloroplast enzymes by high solute concentrations was instantly relieved when solutes were properly diluted. In contrast, photosynthesis was not restored but actually more inhibited when isolated chloroplasts exposed to hypertonic stress were transferred to conditions optimal for photosynthesis of unstressed chloroplasts. Upon transfer, chloroplast volumes increased beyond the volumes of unstressed chloroplasts, and partial envelope rupture occurred. In protoplasts and leaf slices, considerable and rapid, but incomplete restoration of photosynthesis was observed during transfer from hypertonic to isotonic conditions. Chloroplast envelopes did not rupture in situ during water uptake. It is concluded that inhibition of photosynthesis by severe water stress is at the biochemical level brought about in part by reversible inhibition of chloroplast enzymes and in part by membrane damage which requires repair mechanisms for reversibility. Both soluble enzymes and membranes appear to be affected by the increased concentration of internal solutes, which is caused by dehydration.

    Notes: Abstract 1. Increasing the sorbitol concentration in a suspension of intact chloroplasts induced a fast, transient and not very specific efflux of metabolites from chloroplasts to the medium. Stroma proteins were retained by the chloroplasts. 2. Within the first 30 s following hypertonic stress, the chloroplast volume decreased according to the Boyle-Mariotte relation. A subsequent and transient increase suggested some influx of external solute. 3. Dark reactions of intact chloroplasts such as starch degradation and formation of labelled 3-phosphoglycerate from dihydroxyacetone phosphate or ribose-5-phosphate and 14CO2 were inhibited at low water potentials. After chloroplast rupture, the activity of stromal enzymes was decreased by high solute concentrations. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase exhibited a decrease of Vmax, while KmCO 2 remained unaltered. With sorbitol, sucrose, glycerol or glycinebetaine, 50% inhibition of enzymes was observed at osmotic potentials between 40 and 50 bar, with ethyleneglycol at about 70 bar. With salts such as KCl, 50% inhibition was found at 15 to 20 bar. 4. A comparison between inhibition of photosynthesis in intact chloroplasts and inhibition of enzymes in stroma extracts by solutes supports the notion that inhibition of photosynthesis at high osmotic potentials is mainly a solute effect. Another factor contributing to inhibition of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts is the loss of intermediates and cofactors which occurs during rapid osmotic dehydration.

    Notes: Abstract Rates of photosynthesis of leaf slices from various hygro-, meso- and xerophytes were measured in the absence of stomatal control in various stages of osmotic dehydration. The external osmotic potential π° for a 50% inhibition of photosynthesis varied between 20 bar in some hygrophytes up to 50 bar in xerophytes. The response of photosynthetic enzymes to increased salt concentrations in the reaction medium was similar in leaf extracts from hygro-, meso- and xerophytes. The total protoplast volume in vacuum-infiltrated leaf discs from various plants was measured as the difference between 3H2O-labeled space and [14C]sorbitol-labeled space. In all plants, the protoplast volume could be reduced to about 55% of the maximum volume of tissue in equilibrium with water, without decreasing photosynthesis. Reduction of the maximal protoplast volume below 55% decreased photosynthesis in all tissues to the same decreased photosynthesis in all tissues to the same degree. At 20% maximal volume, photosynthesis of all plants was completely inhibited. The differential decrease of protoplast volumes of various leaf tissues in response to changes in π° was mainly due to the different osmotic potential of the cell sap (πcs). The relative contribution of sugars to the overall osmolarity of the cell sap was up to nineteen times higher in xerophytes than in hygrophytes. Short-term recovery of photosynthesis after hypertonic stress was good in xerophytes, incomplete in mesophytes and absent in hygrophytes. There was also a large discrepancy between the partial recovery of protoplast volumes and the complete absence of a recovery of photosynthesis in hygrophytes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Clear-cell chondrosarcoma is a rare, low-malignant bone tumor. The lesion most commonly occurs in adults, generally in the 3rd or 4th decade. Clear-cell chondrosarcoma has a predilection for the epiphyses of long tubular bones, particularly the femoral head. Radiologically, it is a sharply defined radiolucent lesion. Histologically, it is characterized by large tumor cells with distinct boundaries and a clear cytoplasm. In addition to areas of conventional chondrosarcoma, there are partially mineralized trabecular osteoid formations. On the basis of 16 cases of clear-cell chondrosarcoma, we present the observations of the Hamburg Bone Tumor Register. The cases were examined according to age distribution, location, and radiological and pathomorphological criteria. The proximal femur was the most frequent location; rare manifestations in the rib, os ilium, and distal phalanx of the hand were also present. In 50% of the cases high-malignant osteosarcoma or conventional chondrosarcoma was considered. In addition to the epiphysis of the proximal femur, clear-cell chondrosarcoma can also involve other, rather unusual sites in the skeleton. Knowledge of the histomorphology of this tumor is therefore of crucial importance for the diagnosis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das Klarzellchondrosarkom ist ein seltener niedrigmaligner Knochentumor. Betroffen sind v. a. Patienten in der 3. und 4. Lebensdekade. Bevorzugte Lokalisation sind die Epiphysen langer Röhrenknochen, insbesondere der Femurkopf. Radiologisch imponiert es meist als eine epiphysär gelegene, scharf begrenzte lytische Läsion. Histologisch charakteristisch sind die großen Tumorzellen mit deutlichen Zellgrenzen und einem hellen Zytoplasma. Daneben finden sich auch Areale mit dem histologischen Bild eines konventionellen Chondrosarkoms sowie unterschiedlich breite, z. T. mineralisierte trabekuläre Osteoidformationen. Anhand von 16 Fällen mit Klarzellchondrosarkom werden die Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen des Hamburger Knochentumor-Registers dargestellt. Die Fälle wurden nach Altersverteilung, Lokalisation sowie radiologischen und pathomorphologischen Kriterien untersucht. Das Hauptmanifestationsalter lag innerhalb der 5.–7. Lebensdekade. Das proximale Femur stellte den Hauptlokalisationsort dar. Daneben fanden sich auch eher seltene Manifestationen im Bereich der Rippe, Os ilium und Grundphalanx der Hand. In 50% der Fälle wurde auswärtig zunächst differenzialdiagnostisch ein hochmalignes Osteosarkom oder ein Chondrosarkom diskutiert. Da das Klarzellchondrosarkom außer in der Epiphyse des proximalen Femurs auch an anderen, eher ungewöhnlichen Stellen des Skeletts auftreten kann, ist die Kenntnis der Histomorphologie dieses Tumors von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Diagnosefindung.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 10 chondrosarcomas and 10 osteosarcomas were examined using cytogenetics and DNA-image-cytometry. Cytogenetically 6 of 10 chondrosarcomas and 4 of 10 osteosarcomas showed hyperdiploid tumorcells. By DNA-cytometry in 8 of 10 chondrosarcomas and 9 of 10 osteosarcomas hyperdiploid tumorcells resp. hyperdiploid stemlines were detected. This discrepancy reflects an in-vitro-selection depending on the different entities. In 7 aneuploid clones of chondrosarcomas the chromosomal ploidy was calculated using the relative length of the chromosomes and compared with the DNA-ploidy of the native tumor. There was a close relation between both parameters of nuclear DNA-content. The interpretation of cytogenetic results is improved using a combination of karyotypic and DNA-cytometric examination. This is particularly important for the search for relations between numeric chromosomal aberrations and morphological parameters (grading).
    Notes: Zusammenfassung 10 Chondrosarkome und 10 Osteosarkome wurden tumorzytogenetisch und DNA-zytometrisch untersucht. Das Karyogramm erbrachte bei 6 von 10 Chondrosarkomen und bei 4 von 10 Osteosarkomen den Nachweis hyperdiploider Tumorzellklone. DNA-zytometrisch wurden am nativen Tumormaterial jedoch bei 8 von 10 Chondrosarkomen und bei 9 von 10 Osteosarkomen hyperdiploide Tumorzellen, häufig in Form eigenständiger hyperdiploider Stammlinien nachgewiesen. Diese Diskrepanz ist Ausdruck einer offenbar Entitäts-abhängigen In-vitro-Selektion. Bei insgesamt 7 aneuploiden Tumorzellklonen von Chondrosarkomen konnte die chromosomale Ploidie anhand der relativen Chromosomenlängen exakt errechnet und der zytometrisch bestimmten DNA-Ploidie gegenübergestellt werden, wobei sich eine sehr enge Abhängigkeit zwischen diesen beiden Parametern des nukleären DNA-Gehaltes ergab. Die Interpretation zytogenetischer Befunde bei Knochentumoren wird durch Kombination mit der DNA-Zytometrie verbessert. Dies ist besonders dann wichtig, wenn Zusammenhänge zwischen numerischen chromosomalen Aberrationen und morphologischen Parametern (z. B. Grading) dargestellt werden sollen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors. The peak age incidence is the second and third decade of life. Chondromyxoid fibrom occurs in the metaphyseal parts of the major tubular bones, predominantly of the lower extremity. Roentgenograms show, in most cases, a well-demarcated radiolucent lesion. The classic histological feature of a chondromyxoid fibroma is stellate or spindle-shaped cells arranged in lobules in a myxoid or chondroid background. Analysis of 40 chondromyxoid fibromas demonstrates the morphological variation of this tumor. Cases were examined for age distribution, localization, and radiological and histological features. In 85% we found the typical histomorphological pattern. Recurrence rate was 12.5%. In four cases the appearance was uncharacteristic and differentiation from other tumors such as chondroblastoma or chondrosarcoma was quite difficult. By adhering to strict histomorphological criteria, definite diagnosis of chondromyxoid fibroma can be made in most cases.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das Chondromyxoidfibrom ist ein seltener gutartiger Knochentumor. Seine Häufigkeit beträgt weniger als 1% aller primären Knochentumoren. Das Hauptmanifestationsalter ist die 2. und 3. Lebensdekade. Der Tumor ist überwiegend in der Metaphyse langer Röhrenknochen lokalisiert, insbesondere der unteren Extremität. Radiologisch stellt er in den meisten Fällen eine scharf begrenzte, osteolytische Läsion dar. Histologisch zeigt er einen lobulären Aufbau mit einer chondroiden oder myxoiden Grundmatrix. Die Zellen sind spindelig bis sternförmig. Anhand von 40 Chondromyxoidfibromen soll die morphologische Variationsbreite dieser Tumorentität dargestellt werden. Die Fälle wurden nach Altersverteilung, Lokalisation und radiologischen sowie pathomorphologischen Kriterien untersucht. In 85% der untersuchten Fälle fanden sich die typischen histomorphologischen Kriterien des Chondromyxoidfibroms. Bei 5 Patienten (12,5%) kam es zu einem Rezidiv. 4 Fälle zeigten ein uncharakteristisches Bild und waren nur bedingt von anderen Knochentumoren (Chondroblastom, Chondrosarkom) abzugrenzen. Bei Beachtung strenger histomorphologischer Kriterien aber kann die Diagnose Chondromyxoidfibrom in den meisten Fällen sicher gestellt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Analysis of 402 solitary bone cysts demonstrates the wide morphological variation of this cystic lesion with regard to histology and radiology. Aside from metaphyseal location in femur (33 %) and humerus (23 %), solitary bone cysts are also often located in calcaneus (11 %), tibia (11 %) and pelvis (10 %). Most patients are in the second decade of life. Differentiation between this benign lesion and malignant bone tumors is very important in daily clinical routine. The diagnosis cannot be based solely on radiological findings because of the variation of solitary bone cysts and the special forms, such as calcifying solitary bone cyst. Therefore, exact histological diagnosis is of particular importance.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Anhand von 402 solitären Knochenzysten wird die große morphologische Variationsbreite dieser zystischen Läsionen in Histologie und Radiologie dargestellt. Neben der metaphysären Lage in Femur (33 %) und Humerus (23 %), stellen Kalkaneus (11 %), Tibia (11 %) und Becken (10 %) weitere häufige Lokalisationen solitärer Knochenzysten dar. Betroffen sind überwiegend Jugendliche in der 2. Lebensdekade. Die Abgrenzung dieser benignen Läsion gegenüber malignen Knochentumoren ist im klinischen Alltag besonders wichtig. Durch die radiologische Polymorphie der solitären Knochenzyste und ihre Sonderformen, wie die kalzifizierende solitäre Knochenzyste, ist die korrekte Diagnose allein klinisch nicht eindeutig zu stellen. Der exakten histologischen Diagnostik kommt damit besondere Bedeutung zu.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary 207 osteosarcomas were examined morphologically after neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to the COSS-86 protocol using representative slides of one whole tumor plane. The rate of responders 63 %. In relapse-free patients both the whole tumors and the vital areas there of were smaller than in patients with relapse during a follow-up period of 5 years. Within the subgroup of osteoblastic osteosarcomas, metastases were observed following smaller tumors than in chondroblastic osteosarcomas. Therefore, in addition to degree of regression, histological subtype and tumor size should be considered in the prognostic evaluation of osteosarcomas.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Im Rahmen der kooperativen Osteosarkomstudie (COSS 86) wurden 207 Resektionspräparate von Osteosarkomen anhand der Auswertung einer Gesamttumorebene zur Bestimmung des Regressionsgrads morphologisch untersucht. Innerhalb der protokollgerecht auswertbaren Fälle betrug das Verhältnis zwischen Respondern und Nonrespondern 63 % : 37 %. Relapse-freie Patienten wiesen zum Zeitpunkt der Resektion einen kleineren Gesamttumor und geringere vitale Tumoranteile auf als Patienten mit einem metastasierenden Verlauf. Bei Berücksichtigung des histologischen Subtyps traten metastasierende Verläufe innerhalb einer Nachbeobachtungszeit von mindestens 5 Jahren in der Gruppe der osteoblastischen Osteosarkome bereits bei einer niedrigeren Gesamttumorgröße auf als bei den chondroblastischen Osteosarkomen. Bei der prognostischen Einschätzung von Osteosarkomen sollten deshalb neben dem Regressionsgrad als Parameter für das Ansprechen auf die Chemotherapie auch der histologische Aufbau und die Gesamttumorgröße Beachtung finden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary DNA cytometric investigations of intraosseous cystic lesions and osteoblastic tumors may be helpful in morphological diagnosis. The detection of a DNA-aneuploid stemline supports the diagnosis of a high-grade malignant bone neoplasm, even in small biopsies. Solitary and aneurysmal bone cysts have DNA-diploid cell populations. Low-grade central osteosarcomas may show single-cell aneuploidies of varying extent as well as a DNA-diploid stemline. Their presence may be a sign of genetic instability within the population of neoplastic cells before a DNA-aneuploid stemline is established and should prompt careful postoperative observation.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung DNA-zytometrische Untersuchungen intraossärer zystischer Läsionen und osteoblastischer Tumoren können die morphologische Diagnostik unterstützen. Der Nachweis von DNA-aneuploiden Tumorzellstammlinien trägt zur Sicherung der Diagnose eines hochmalignen Knochentumors auch an kleinen Biopsien bei. Solitäre und aneurysmatische Knochenzysten weisen DNA-diploide Zellpopulationen auf. Bei zentralen niedrigmalignen Osteosarkomen können neben einer diploiden Stammlinie Einzelzellaneuploidien unterschiedlichen Ausmaßes vorkommen. Ihr Auftreten kann bereits ein Hinweis auf eine genetische Instabilität innerhalb der Tumorzellpopulation sein, bevor es zur Ausprägung einer DNA-aneuploiden Stammlinie kommt und sollte bei differentialdiagnostisch schwierigen Fällen intraossärer Läsionen zu sorgfältiger Nachbeobachtung Anlaß sein.
