    Notizen: Summary Skin biopsies of patients with small and large plaque parapsoriasis, premycotic lesions and mycosis fungoides in different stages were examined. Special attention was paid to the relationships between Langerhans cells (LC) and the neighbouring keratinocytes and lymphocytes. At the contact areas of LC and keratinocytes as well as LC and lymphocytes, particular cell membrane phenomena were observed. Aggregations of Langerhans granules and fusions of granules with LC plasma membranes were found exclusively at LC-keratinocyte interfaces. At LC-lymphocyte contact zones cell membrane appositions were seen. In all cases investigated, virus-like particles were mainly ound in LC and indeterminate cells (IDC). In 3 cases lymphocytes also contained these particles. It was of particular interest that virus-like particles were observed in skin specimens of all diseases investigated. Discrimination of these particles from other cellular organelles - especially lysosomes- was difficult, however. The significance of our findings, particularly regarding to the supposed virus aetiology of cutaneous T cell lymphomas, is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary A case of “nonsecretory” myeloma is described. The patient had typical osteolytic lesions and marked infiltration of myeloma cells in the bone marrow, and plasma cell leukemia. A good partial remission was obtained with Melphalan, but the patient relapsed and died one year later. Immunofluorescent and immunoelectroscopic studies on the myeloma cells demonstrated the presence of cytoplasmic γ-and κ-chains at the initial stage and of only κ-chains at a relapse. The electron microscopic method for polysome analysis indicated that both L-and H-chains were synthesized on membrane-bound polysomes initially, but the ability to produce H-chain was missing at the relapse.

    Notizen: Summary This report describes two types of reticular epithelial cell in the thymic cortex of the BALB/c mouse, an immature and a mature form. During early stages of lymphoma development, i.e., 2–6 weeks postinfection (p.i.) with Moloney leukemia virus (M-MuLV), activation of the epithelial cells is observed. Although the percentage of these cells in the total cell population of the thymic cortex remains constant during that time, the number of mature epithelial cells is significantly increased in infected animals. Subsequently, about 6 weeks p.i., the number of immature epithelial cells starts to increase, whereas the number of mature reticular epithelial cells declines and the appearance of the mature epithelial cells changes drastically. The results of light and electron microscopic studies indicate degeneration of the mature reticular epithelial cells at the onset of lymphoma development at a time when the first deficiencies in the immunologic competence of the reticular epithelial cells are apparent.

    Notizen: Summary Sixteen cases of typical highly malignant osteosarcoma were investigated by light, electron, and immunofluorescence microscopy to demonstrate the presence of collagen types I–III. It was shown that, in light-microscopically anaplastic areas of the tumor, collagen type III predominates, while only very few membranes of collagen type I are observed. Ultrastructurally, the cells are characterized by numerous free ribosomes in their cytoplasm and only a few membranes of granular endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In osteoblastic areas, collagen type I is increased, while type-III collagen is decreased. The cytoplasm of cells contains markedly more granular ER. An increasing mineralization of matrix is observed. In fibroblastic areas of the tumors, collagen types I and III are codistributed. Tumor cells have a fibroblast appearance with elongated nuclei and well developed granular ER. The chondroblastic areas, characterized by immature neoplastic cartilage, contain varying amounts of collagen type II. Chondroblast-like tumor cells have typical ring-shaped membranes of granular ER in their cytoplasm. The evidence of different collagen types in osteosarcomas lends additional support to the concept that a pluripotent mesenchymal cell is the stem cell of osteosarcomas.

    Notizen: Summary 65 cases of hemangioendothelioma (HE) of the thyroid were accepted as such after control of slides of surgical or autopsy specimen or both. In a few of the more recent cases material could be examined by electron microscope and in some the search for factor VIII-related antigen (FVIIIRAG) was carried out. The demonstration of Weibel-Palade bodies in tumour cells in two cases and the evidence of FVIIIRAG in tumour cells of at least two cases, including primary tumour and distant metastasis, finally show, that the hemangioendothelioma of the thyroid is not simply an anaplastic carcinoma with some peculiar features; at least some of these tumours are true endotheliomas. The proposal that the term hemangioendothelioma be eliminated from the classification of thyroid tumours is therefore unfounded.

    Notizen: Summary An ultrastructural comparison of 7 examples of myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma (myxoid MFH) with 6 of myxoid liposarcoma is described. Despite certain histological differences between the two, electron microscopy was more valuable in differentiating MFH from liposarcoma. Electron microscopically, MFH contained a variety of cell types including histiocyte-like, fibroblast-like, intermediate-type, xanthomatous, multinucleated tumor giant cells and undifferentiated cells. Liposarcoma was composed mainly of lipoblasts at various stages of differentiation with a minority of undifferentiated cells and fibroblast-like cells. In contrast to the component cells of the MFH, these lipoblasts were characterized by abundant cytoplasmic glycogen, numerous pinocytotic vesicles and a discontinuous basal lamina in addition to large lipid droplets.

    Notizen: Summary The author reports on the electron-microscopic examination of the diffuse tracheobronchial amyloidosis of a 51-year-old patient. The amyloid deposits were located in the lamina propria of the tracheal and bronchial mucosa. At the edge of the nodular deposits, condensation and radial arrangement of amyloid fibrils could be seen. Closely connected with the amyloid, active fibroblasts were present and their cytoplasm contained amyloid fibrils. The cell membrane of the fibroblasts was missing in part. Intracellular amyloid fibrils mingled with extracellular deposits. It can be assumed that active fibroblasts play an important role in local amyloid formation.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary The brain of an autopsy case of Menkes' kinky hair disease (MKHD), after routine histological examination, was studied extensively by electron microscopy, particularly the mitochondrial alterations. There were widespread mitochondrial abnormalities, including enlargement with tubulo-vesiculated cristae, swelling, and dense body formation and occasional accumulation of glycogen within mitochondria, in addition to increased numbers of mitochondria in some neurons. These abnormalities of mitochondria were present in decreasing severity in the following: Purkinje cells, neurons of the molecular and granule cell layers of the cerebellum, and neurons of the cerebral cortex, globus pallidus, lateral nuclei of the thalamus, caudate nucleus, and the myelinated axons in the white matter. This distribution and the degree of mitochondrial abnormalities in the various structures of the brain were compared with those of degenerative lesions in the respective structures. The comparison disclosed that there was a positive correlation between the two. The mitochondrial enlargement and swelling as in the present study had been well documented in the brain of the brindled mouse; mitochondrial dense bodies had also been reported in previous case reports of MKHD by other authors. The present study strongly suggests that the mitochondrial disease is an essential abnormality and may be responsible for the progressive degeneration of the CNS in MKHD.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary An ultrastructural and morphometric study was performed on sural nerve biopsies of four industrial spray painters (35–59 years) and 11 controls (6–64 years). No difference could be shown in spray painters and age-matched controls as to the number of myelinated nerve fibres per area, their size distribution, variation of internodal length along single nerve fibres or the ratio between the number of myelin lamellae and the axon circumference. There was marked scattering of the two latter parameters in older exposed and control individuals. The distribution of NADH2-tetrazolium reductase activity was similar in exposed and control cases. The general ultrastructural appearance of nodal-paranodal regions in controls conformed with that noted in experimental animals. The overall ultrastructural organization and age-related changes of nerves of exposed cases were similar to those of control cases except for a presence of paranodal axonal mitochondria which contained glycogen-like particles in exposed cases. In one exposed case abundant dispersed or clustered glycogen-like particles were seen in the paranodal axoplasm. These findings are suggested to be an effect of chronic exposure to organic solvent vapours. Ageing seems, however, to have a much greater impact on the morphology of the sural nerve fibre than occupational exposure to organic solvent.

    Notizen: Summary The syndrome of arthrogryposis and palatoschisis (SAP), an inherited syndrome of muscular hypotonia in Charolais cattle, was used as an experimental model to study neuromuscular differentiation. The ultrastructural development of muscle, peripheral nerve, and neuromuscular junctions was studied to determine the sequence of events preceding hypotrophic changes in the skeletal muscles of affected calves at birth. Dorsiflexion of the metatarsophalangeal joints in the hindlimbs occurred in fetuses older than 3 months of age, but hypotrophic changes in skeletal muscle, manifested as small fibers scattered among larger and occasional degenerating fibers, was not apparent until late in gestation, affecting 8-month-old fetuses and neonatal calves. Electron microscope and enzyme histochemistry studies disclosed differentiation of skeletal muscle into fiber types which is consistent with changes expected from disuse and does not indicate a primary myopathic abnormality. Abnormal differentiation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ), composed of several separated axonal endings terminating in shallow synaptic gutters, indicated impaired maturation of the synapse. The earliest indication of abnormal NMJ was observed in a 5-month-old SAP fetus. The clinical signs and pathologic changes found in the neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscle of SAP fetuses are consistent with an embryologic defect occurring during development of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the integrated function of the motor neurons to the limbs. However, diversification of myofibers by histochemistry and ultrastructural parameters is evidence that the intrinsic physiologic properties of spinal motor neurons were retained.

The cyst lining is seen to consist predominantly of secretory columnar epithelium, both ciliated and non-ciliated. There are also epidermoid cells occurring singly or in squames. The histogenesis of Rathke's cleft cysts, in relation to craniopharyngiomas, is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary Neonatal rats received s.c. injections of methymercuric chloride (MeHg) in physiological saline (1.5 mg Hg/kg b.wt.) at 48-h intervals from postnatal day 2 to day 50. Littermate controls were injected with an equivalent volume of saline. All animals were perfused on day 51 and blocks of cerebral cortex were prepared for electron microscopy. Ultrastructural changes in mitochondria were evident in the dendrites, axons and presynaptic terminals of cortical neurones in the MeHg-treated animals. Many mitochondria were condensed with an increased electron density of the inner matrix. Some profiles exhibited regressive alterations, including a disruption of cristae and the inner membrane with an accumulation of electron-opaque material in the matrix. Membranous whorls were found in association with the most degenerate mitochondria. A morphometric analysis of mitochondrial profiles in the neuropil of layer I revealed a 24% decrease in average profile area and a 16% increase in the number of profiles per micrograph in the MeHg-treated animals. These pathological changes in mitochondrial ultrastructure are consistent with an inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. The observed increase in the number of mitochondrial profiles may reflect a compensation by cortical neurons for the reduced efficiency of aerobic metabolism in the individual organelle.

    Notizen: Summary Intrafusal and extrafusal nerve segments in muscle spindles from tumbricalis muscles of the hind-paw of the rat were studied by electron microscopy from 10h to 5 days after severance of the sciatic nerve. In several spindles examined, nerve fascicles piercing the spindle capsule in the equatorial region contained a large myelinated, a smaller myelinated and an unmyelinated fiber. Unmyelinated fibers were not present in small fascicles leading to the polar region. The changes in the extrafusal nerve segments followed the pattern of Wallerian degeneration. Intra-axonal glycogen deposits were prominent in sensory fibers. The unmyelinated fibers were the earliest to degenerate, the large myelinated ones the latest. Differences between motor and sensory fiber degeneration emerged in their preterminal intrafusal segments and were analogous to those of the nerve endings. Terminal nerve fibers in the spindle equator succumbed to attack of mesenchymal cells, leaving extensive basement membrane reduplications around myelin debris-laden Schwann cells, while polar fibers were engulfed by Schwann cell processes, leaving regular bands of Büngner.

    Notizen: Summary A case of adrenoleukodystrophy was studied morphologically and biochemically. The patient was a 28-year-old man with no family history of adrenoleukodystrophy. His neurologic symptoms were cerebellar ataxia, spastic paraplegia, pseudo-bulbar palsy, and a minimal visual disturbance, with neither adrenal nor hypogonadal symptoms. The morphological and biochemical findings in this case are identical with those in typical adrenoleukodystrophy, but the topographical distribution of the lesions is distinctly different. The changes selectively affect the white matter in the cerebellum and brain stem in contrast to minimal involvement of the occipital white matter.

    Notizen: Summary Thirty-three rectus superior extraocular muscles from 23 autopsy cases, all over 60 years, were examined. Eosinophilic inclusions (Hirano bodies) were observed in all the muscles; they were stained deep red by Masson's trichrome stain and were positive for protein stain. They consisted of a collection of filamentous structures of two types: (1) a regular array of filaments 100 Å in diameter which sometimes were arrayed in perpendicular planes and (2) another type in a herring bone or ladder-like pattern. Both structures were closely associated with the accumulated thin filaments 50–60 Å in diameter (actin?) in the subsarcolemma. The frequent appearance in aged muscle fibers of Hirano bodies indicates that their formation is a change closely related with aging.

    Notizen: Summary Human mesonephric duct epithelial cells contained empty appearing regions in the infranuclear cytoplasm when prepared for transmission electron microscopy using glutaraldehyde and osmium fixation. The same regions stained positively with PAS in Epon sections for light microscopy suggesting that glycogen was present. Incubation with saliva abolished the reaction. For electron microscopy the glycogen stained very intensely if a mixture of osmium tetroxide and potassium ferrocyanide was used instead of osmium alone. Glycogen accumulations were present between the ages of 5 to 10 weeks and absent at the age of 15 weeks. Reports by others indicate that glycogen may be present in different reactive forms in relation to its staining behaviour after various fixatives. The present results, and similar studies in other tissues, indicate that osmium tetroxide-potassium ferrocyanide fixative should be used routinely for preservation of embryos and fetuses and where indicated, for ultrastructural identification of glycogen and cytoplasmic filaments in clinical specimens.

Cryostat sections of skin biopsies were incubated with HRP-anti-HRP, and the peroxidase activity was demonstrated with 3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride and H2O2. Most cells in the granulomas, both epithelioid and giant cells, were stained. By electron microscopy, the reaction products were localized to the plasma membranes of the cells as well-defined granular deposits. No reaction product was demonstrated intra- or extracellularly.

    Notizen: Summary Tissue from seven patients with tuberous sclerosis and subependymal giant-cell tumors was examined with special stains, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. Immunoreactive glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was not found in the giant cells of four tumors, but was present in some tumor cells in the other three. Immunoreactive S-100 protein was present in tumor cells of six cases; it was also seen in more tumor cells than was GFAP. Electron microscopy was similar in all cases and showed that the tumor cells had numerous organelles — many dense bodies thought to be primary lysosomes, swollen mitochondria, Golgi complexes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes, and sparsely distributed intermeadiate filaments. In one case, neurosecretory granules, microvilli, and synapses were observed. In another subject, prominent, thick bundles of glial filaments were seen. These findings suggest that the tumor is made up of unique cells in addition to cells with recognizable neuronal or astrocytic features.

    Notizen: Summary Rats were exposed to 6.1 bar (abs.) air for 90 min and subsequently decompressed to the ambient pressure. After a decompression rate of 6.8 bar/min pial veins and superior sagittal sinuses were found to contain gas bubbles; no intravascular bubbles were observed subsequent to a decompression rate of 1.5 bar/min. Under the electron microscope platelet aggregates were observed at both the electron-dense layer of the blood-bubble interface and in pial veins with no bubbles. It is concluded that during decompression sickness bubbles and both activation and aggregation of platelets occur in intracranial veins. Subsequent venous congestion may contribute to the neuronal lesions and symptoms of acute decompression sickness.

    Notizen: Summary Five patients with pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) were analyzed by means of light and electron microscopy as well as by histochemistry and autoradiography. The results were compared with findings in psoriasis vulgaris. In PRP we found a moderate increase of the labeling index of epidermal cells, a highly increased labeling index of dermal infiltrating cells, and a mild spongiosis, and in the stratum granulosum, a decreased number of tonofilaments and an increased number of keratinosomes. The horny layer in PRP showed a pronounced histochemical and electron microscopical parakeratosis, even when histological parakeratosis was absent. In contrast with psoriasis vulgaris, there was no exocytosis of polymorphonuclear leucocytes into the epidermis, the papillomatosis index was normal, and there were no tortuous capillaries in the dermal papillae. The stratum granulosum was always present and sometimes thickened, showing electron microscopical changes different from those referred to in psoriasis. These changes point to a relatively distinct pattern of epidermal changes in PRP.

    Notizen: Summary A patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with cells containing two types of cytoplasmic inclusions is described. The inclusions appeared as glubular bodies containing electron dense material with homogenous structure and as crystalloid formations confined in organelles with structure similar to that of the surrounding mitochondria. In distinction to other reports, these structures were not related to the endoplasmic reticulum. The possibility that some of them represented altered mitochondria is discussed.

    Notizen: Abstract With quantitative techniques at electron microscopical level chromatin condensation and emptying of the interchromatin space have been established in the nuclei of the endothelial cells of small uterine vessels. The nuclear and cytoplasmic changes after cadmium administration show much similarity between endothelial cells of small uterine vessels and cultured liver parenchymal cells. Cytoplasmic changes in both cell types after cadmium administration are suggestive of a disturbance in ribosomal RNA synthesis as the main cause leading to ultimate cell lysis.

    Notizen: Abstract In rodents fenofibrate shares with other triglyceride-lowering agents the potential to increase the liver peroxisome population. It was therefore of interest to look for this effect in hyperlipoproteinemic patients receiving this drug. Light and electron microscopy of liver biopsies from a group of 10 patients treated with fenofibrate and from another group of 15 receiving diet only, show no morphological difference between both groups. In contrast with the rodent data the morphometric study reveals no significant changes in the number (fenofibrate group: 7.96 1010 cm−3; group receiving diet alone: 8.41 1010 peroxisomes/cm3 of liver tissue) or in the size (fenofibrate group: Diameter=0.53±0.07 μm — group receiving diet alone: 0.50±0.06) of peroxisomes. The difference between our results and those obtained consistently in rodents may be due to the relatively low dose in man and/or a species-dependant difference in enzyme content of liver peroxisomes, itself related to an apparent difference in the way in which lipids are handled.

    Notizen: Summary The mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the aquatic phycomycete Allomyces macrogynus is a circular molecule with a size of 56.1 kbp. The cleavage sites for the restriction enzymes SalI and PvuI were mapped by comparing the partial denaturation patterns of isolated restriction fragments with the pattern of the intact circle. The genes coding for the small and large ribosomal RNA (rRNA) were located on the restriction map by heteroduplex and R-loop analysis. The gene coding for the large rRNA contains an intervening sequence, app. 0.7 kbp in size, near the 3′-end of the gene. The two rRNA genes are encoded on the same strand of the mtDNA and separated by a region of 17–18 kbp. This rRNA gene organization is similar to that found with members of the Ascomycetes.

    Notizen: Summary The morphology and chronology of an absolute ischemia was investigated on the small intestine of man and rat. It could be shown that the morphogenesis of ischemic damage to the intestinal mucosa in man does not differ from that in the rat. However, there are crucial and in therapeutic terms significant differences in the time course of the ischemic damage to the intestinal mucosa. Whereas in the small intestine of the rat, the first appreciable alterations — detachment and disruption of the lining epithelium at the villous tip — are already to be observed after absolute ischemia lasting 15 min, in the human small intestine the same lesions only occur after 4 h. A comparable complete necrosis of the small intestinal mucosa was detected in the rat after 7-h ischemia, and in man after 44-h ischemia.

    Notizen: Abstract The photosynthetic membranes of the five bchl b-containing bacteria Ectothiorhodospira halochloris, E. abdelmalekii, Rhodopseudomonas viridis, R. sulfoviridis and Thiocapsa pfennigii have been investigated by electron microscopy and digital image analysis. All five species have the photosynthetic complexes hexagonally arrayed in the membrane with lattice spacings close to 13 nm, except for R. sulfoviridis and T. pfennigii which display somewhat smaller (∼12.5 nm) lattice spacings. Correlation averaging which imposes less stringent requirements on the lattice perfection than conventional Fourier filtration techniques has been employed to elucidate the structure of the photosynthetic complexes. Their basic organization, i.e. a ring, probably containing the light-harvesting (LH) polypeptides, surrounding a core (the “reaction centre”) appears to be almost identical for all species under scrutiny. Despite a resolution of ∼1.6 nm, however, little further significant substructure can be deduced from the averages; possible reasons for the “blurred” appearance of the LH-ring and absence of any subdivision in the reaction centre are discussed along with strategies aimed at obtaining a more detailed model of the molecular architecture of the photosynthetic membranes.

    Notizen: Abstract Due to the lack of an emergent flagellum the green flagellate Euglena mutabilis is restricted to gliding motility. During forward movement, the organisms orient positive phototactically in the presence of a suitable light stimulus. The cell contains both a stigma and a paraflagellar body which differ in shape and size from the organelles found in E. gracilis. The degree of orientation in white light follows an optimum curve with a maximum at about 100 lx. The spectral sensitivity shows a number of prominent peaks in the blue and green regions and extends well into the red region of the visible spectrum. Since the cell does not rotate during locomotion a periodic shading mechanism cannot account for phototactic orientation. Thus, phototaxis in the related species, E. gracilis and E. mutabilis differ in their photoreceptor molecules, their sensory transduction chains and their strategies of light direction detection.

    Notizen: Summary The “borderline lesion” of the stomach (severe dysplasia of the protruded type) is nowadays considered to be a true precancerous lesion. Histologically, this lesion is characterized by a proliferation in the area of the glandular neck, combined with severe cellular atypia. Investigation by means of transmission electron microscopy reveals the structure of these cells to be very similar to the structure of cells of an intestinal-cell-type carcinoma of the stomach. In addition to signs for a loss of differentiation of the cells, such as the absence of rough-surfaced endoplasmatic reticulum, mucin granules, and of the polarity of the cells, remarkably frequently luminal bulges and “blebs” developed to various extents can be detected. Morphometric analysis is delineating the tendency of structural features of the borderline lesion to develop toward the gastric cancer cell. These irregularities might be expressions of the beginning of expansive growth and signs pointing to differentiation into malignant neoplasia.

    Notizen: Summary Bladder vessel walls of 20 patients with interstitial cystitis were studied by the electron microscope. 14 (70%) had severe endothelial injury. 10 (50%) showed injured smooth muscle cells. Odd basement membrane proliferations and disruptions were seen. Clusters of microfibrils about 10 nm in diameter and numerous partially membrane-bound vesicles of 100–600 nm with granular or tiny vesicular content (“granulovesicular bodies”) were also seen. Intercellular junctions of endothelial cells were open and there was emigration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes and platelets. The findings show pronounced vascular injury to have taken place, with neoformation of elastic tissue. It is suggested that the injury is immunologically mediated and that particularly those clusters of connective tissue microfibrils not yet covered by an amorphous elastin component may be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease.

    Notizen: Summary A clinico-pathological, light microscopic and immunohistochemical study of 15 clear-cell sarcomas, with an ultrastructural analysis of 6 of the tumors, is presented. The tumors showed a strong predilection for tendons and aponeuroses of the extremities in predominantly young and middle-aged people. The clinical setting, course and light microscopic appearance agree well with the original description by Enzinger (1965). Nine of the 15 patients developed metastases, most of them including lymph nodes, and 8 of the patients had died at the time of follow-up (median follow-up time 4.8 years). Reducing pigment was demonstrated within the cells of 2 tumors. Ultrastructurally the 6 tumors studied had a uniform appearance with characteristically rounded or oval tumor cells with a single nucleus containing one or two very prominent nucleoli, a light-staining cytoplasm with a moderate amount of organelles and a variable content of glycogen. Polymorphic melanosomes were seen in the cells of one of the tumors. External laminas enclosed groups of tumor cells and invested parts of individual tumor cells. With immunoperoxidase analysis for S-100 protein positive staining was observed in the vast majority of the tumor cells of all 15 clear-cell sarcomas. Metastases appearing in 9 of the 15 cases showed positive staining for S-100 protein. There was a strong staining of the cytoplasm and generally a weak and varying staining of nuclei. The immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings indicate that clear-cell sarcoma is a homogenous entity among soft tissue sarcomas, of probable neural crest derivation.

    Notizen: Summary Bone marrow from hematologically healthy adults was exposed to a number of fixation procedures for investigation of the heterogeneity of the granule population in neutrophil granulocytes at the ultrastructural level. Four main cell stages were distinguished: early promyelocyte, late promyelocyte, myelocyte, and mature neutrophil granulocyte and described separately; metamyelocytes and band-form or stab cells are described together. The characteristic changes in the cytoplasm during myelopoiesis were analysed quantitatively. Special attention was given to the development of the granule population. Three types of granule arise in successive cell stages: granules which develop a sub-structure in the matrix (nucleated granules) are formed in early promyelocytes, granules with a homogeneous electron-dense matrix (azurophil granules) in late promyelocytes, and granules with a less electron-dense matrix (specific granules) in myelocytes. The three types of granule remain present during myelopoiesis. The best results in distinguishing the granule types were obtained by prefixation either in 0.1% glutaraldehyde or in 1.5% glutaraldehyde followed by washing in phosphate-buffered Ringer solution to which aminotriazole had been added. Granule counts revealed for the mature neutrophil a total number of granules of about 220 per ultrathin section. This population of granules is composed of about 12% nucleated, 11% azurophil, and 77% specific granules. When our previous findings are taken into account, the existence of three successively formed and morphologically distinguishable types of granule in heterophil (neutrophil) granulocytes has been demonstrated for three mammalian species: the guinea pig, the rat, and man. A separate term for the early promyelocyte stage is proposed: eomyelocyte.

    Notizen: Summary Lumps of electron-dense material were observed in synaptic clefts associated with all types of photoreceptors, in the vicinity of the synaptic ribbons, in the retinae of dark-adapted frogs. Frogs were reared under a cyclic illumination (light on at 8:00; light off at 20:00) and then exposed to one of two courses of dark adaptation: one started from 11:00 in the morning, and the other started from 20:00 in the evening. The synaptic clefts of red rods became wider at some places where spherical or polygonal lumps of dense material were accumulated. The frequency and sectional area of the lumps increased faster for the first hour in the regime starting from 20:00 than in the regime starting from 11:00, then they reached the similar saturation levels of about 0.6 (per ribbon) and 1.6 to 1.8×104 (nm2) in both the regimes. In greenrod synapses, plate-shaped lumps of dense material were present in synaptic clefts and interspaces between the processes of second-order neurons. In cone synapses at the end of about 1 h darkness, the frequency and area of the lumps reached maximum values of about 0.12 (per ribbon) and 9×103 (nm2) in the regime starting from 11:00 and, about 0.08 (per ribbon) and 4 × 103 (nm2) in the regime starting from 20:00. On exposure to light, the dense material abruptly disappeared from all types of photoreceptor synaptic clefts. Large dense-core vesicles, occasionally observed in light-adapted rod photoreceptor terminals, seem to participate in exocytosis of the dense material. The number of dense-core vesicles per synaptic ribbon in a terminal was about 0.55 at the end of 3 h light in the morning and about 1.28 at the end of 12 h light in the evening. The increased number of dense-core vesicles during the daytime may contribute to the faster accumulation of dense material in the synaptic clefts. Although the chemical identification or the functional significance of the electron-dense material remains unknown, it is interesting that this material showed a rise and fall in response to darkness and illumination. Also the fact that this material is clearly visible will be helpful for future analysis of frog photoreceptor synapses.

    Notizen: Summary A double plasma membrane (DPM) surrounding intestinal microvilli of the migratory milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus, is described. Mutant and wild types of the phytophagous insect have been studied by conventional SEM and TEM procedures with the use of membrane-enhancing staining methods. Longitudinal and transverse sections revealed a DPM surrounding microvilli and continuing over the apical portions of the intestinal cell. The outer membrane of the DPM contributes to an intestinal lining or peritrophic membrane (PTM), which apparently accumulates in layers. SEM studies reveal a rugose intestinal surface and complete PTM in both starved and fed insects. Only rarely are exposed microvilli seen by SEM. SEM examinations also enable the observation of numerous blebs on the luminal side of the PTM apparently held in position by a neck-like attachment and apparently derived from the outer membrane of the DPM. Preliminary TEM studies of microvilli revealed unique microvesicle-like structures, lying just inside the inner membrane of the DPM, which may be of membrane origin based on their typical trilaminar appearance after en bloc staining with uranyl acetate. Highly ordered microfilaments were observed to occupy the most central aspect of the microvilli.

    Notizen: Summary Vasopressin-containing neurons, identified by immunocytochemistry, are located predominantly in the posterior magnocellular division of the paraventricular nucleus of the rat hypothalamus. By electron microscopy, the immunoreaction product is seen within the cell bodies and neuronal processes. In the perikarya and dendritic processes, the immunoreactive material is associated primarily with neurosecretory granules. Axonal processes, identified by their content of microtubules and accumulation of neurosecretory granules, show the immunoreaction product in association with both of these organelles. Afferent axo-dendritic, axo-somatic and putative axo-axonic synapses with immunostained vasopressinergic neurons can be identified. The presynaptic profiles do not contain immunoreactive material. This study contributes to the ultrastructural characterization of vasopressinergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus and of their afferent synaptic input.

    Notizen: Summary Dictyosome-like structures (DLS) of guinea pig spermatocytes, when prefixed in mixtures of glutaraldehyde and tannic acid, exhibited laminated figures with a repeating periodicity of about 4.5 nm in the spaces between DLS saccules or in association with the surfaces of the DLS saccules. These laminated figures were similar to those figures derived from saturated lipids in other tissues. Alternatively, spaces between saccules were collapsed leaving only thin, electron-dense material separating adjacent saccules. These changes were not observed when the DLS were prefixed in glutaraldehyde before exposure to tannic acid. The presence of laminated figures following fixation with tannic acid and osmium tetroxide suggests that saturated lipids are present in, or associated with, the intersaccular regions of the DLS. The distribution of laminated figures in other membrane structures was not affected by post fixation with tannic acid nor were laminated figures comparable to those of the DLS observed between cisternae of the Golgi apparatus. These results support previous conclusions that DLS are distinct from Golgi apparatus and are a unique component of the germ cell cytoplasm.

    Notizen: Summary The digestion of food in the heliozoonActinophrys sol is characterized by several distinct membrane events. Initially, extrusomes expand and fuse with each other and with the plasma membrane providing the membrane for the nascent food vacuole. During this process a—presumably lytic—material is secreted. After complete forming of the food vacuole a second type of vesicles fuses with it, whereupon usually lysis of the prey occurs. After denaturation and coagulation of the food, fluid is removed from the food vacuole. This process is accompanied by a high cytotic activity around the periphery of the food vacuole. Following this step, the perinuclear Golgi region shows an active appearance and numerous lysosomes fuse with the food vacuole. In consequence of this the food is degradated. The food vacuole shrinks continuously. Simultaneously vesicles filled with the digested material pinch off from the food vacuole, the content of which shows a more and more condensed mass of undigestible material. The undigestible residues are defecated eventually. The process of digestion is accompanied by an increase in volume and number of electron lucent cytoplasmic vacuoles. These vacuoles gradually become filled with a filamentous material starting with the vacuoles in the cell periphery. As the digestion continues, the vacuolar contents become condensed successively. Synchroneously the vacuoles move towards the cell center. After completion of the digestion, the cytoplasmic vacuoles decrease in volume and number and do not show any longer electron dense contents.

    Notizen: Summary Photooxidative bleaching of the CyanobacteriumAnacystis nidulans was studied by electron microscopic investigation of both freezefractured and thin-sectioned samples. During bleaching four consecutive phases in degradation of photosynthetic membranes (thylakoids) could be characterized: 1. No ultrastructural changes until photosystem II activity is lost. 2. Derangement of characteristic arrangement of thylakoids. 3. Thylakoids visible only in thin-sectioned but not in freeze-fractured samples. 4. Completely bleached cells, only traces in place of former thylakoids visible in thinsectioned samples. Bleaching did not cause lysis of the cells showing that the cytoplasmic membrane was not damaged. Polyhedral bodies also were still detectable in bleached cells.

The mass is made up of two kinds of granules. One is not membrane-bounded and is composed of paraglycogen. The second type is comprised of concentric lamellae. It is rich in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. These results do not support the contention that the granules are directly involved in the process of food vacuole formation. The role of the parapharyngeal mass remains obscure.

    Notizen: Summary Aqueous fixatives caused dry seed tissues to swell; mashed peanuts, crushed to remove oil, swelled even more. Use of anhydrous, organic solvents as vehicles for fixatives enabled maintenance of dimensional stability during fixation of dry seed tissues; even crushed seed tissue did not swell significantly when processed anhydrously. However, anhydrously processed specimens proved difficult to section. The difficulty was due to imperfect permeation of plastic into the seed tissues during embedding. An explanation of why anhydrously processed dry seed tissues are so difficult to embed in plastic is offered.

    Notizen: Summary The pineal organ of Raja clavata was studied by light and electron microscopy, including the immunocytochemical antiopsin reaction. The pineal organ of the ray consists of three portions: (i) a large proximal pineal, (ii) a long tube-like connecting stalk, and (iii) a short distal terminal enlargement. This latter end-vesicle lies in the deep connective tissue layers of the braincase. All portions of the pineal are composed of pinealocytes, intrinsic neurons, ependymal/glial cells, and bundles of nerve fibers embedded in thin neuropil formations. The inner segments of the pinealocytes protrude into the lumen in all parts of the organ and usually contain basal bodies and numerous mitochondria. Often, two outer segments were found to arise from the basal bodies of a single inner segment. By means of light-microscopic immunocytochemistry the outer segments showed a strong antiopsin reaction. The axons of the pinealocytes form ribbon-containing synapses on dendritelike profiles, which appear to belong to the intrinsic pineal neurons. There are other axo-dendritic synapses established by presynaptic terminals lacking ribbons and containing granular and synaptic vesicles. Pineal neurons may contain granular vesicles approximately 60–100 nm in diameter; their processes contribute to the bundles of unmyelinated axons. The fine structural organization of the pineal organ and the opsin immunoreactivity of the outer segments of the pinealocytes indicate a photoreceptive capacity of the organ. The double outer segments represent a peculiar multiplication of the photoreceptor structures.

    Notizen: Summary The physiological, pharmacological and morphological characteristics of guinea-pig vas deferens supplied by hypogastric nerves rendered inactive by decentralisation were compared with those of vas deferens in which the nerve supply had been chronically stimulated for 3–9 days using implanted electrodes. No change was seen in decentralised preparations prior to 7 days, but from 8–15 days, increased sensitivity to application of noradrenaline in vitro was observed, which was shown to be related to reduced transmitter uptake by nerve terminals as well as to an increase in postjunctional sensitivity; there was also increased fatigability 7–14 days following decentralisation. Continuous stimulation of hypogastric nerves at 2 Hz for 4–8 h daily for 4–8 days resulted in enhanced transmitter uptake and reduced responses to noradrenaline; this was associated with a slight increase in noradrenaline content and a faster adrenergic neuromuscular response with a shorter latency. No appreciable changes in nerve or muscle structure studied by electron microscopy were observed following decentralisation, but there was an increase of between 12.5 and 29.6% in the number of close (〈 100 nm) neuromuscular junctions following chronic stimulation for 8 days.

    Notizen: Summary The development of the heterophil granulocyte in the bone marrow of the rat is described, and an electron-microscopical analysis of the changes in the cytoplasm as well as in the granule population in several stages of maturation is reported. Three types of granule originate in consecutive stages of heterophil maturation. Granules with an internal fine structure (nucleated granules) are the first to be formed, i.e., in early promyelocytes; azurophil granules are formed in late promyelocytes; and specific granules appear in myelocytes. Quantitative analysis showed that the granule population in mature cells, i.e., about 160 granules per electron micrograph, is composed of roughly 14% nucleated granules, 10% azurophil granules, and 76% specific granules. Three cell stages were observed in mitosis: the early promyelocyte, the late promyelocyte, and the myelocyte. Granule counts in non-dividing cells confirmed the occurrence of mitosis in the late promyelocyte and myelocyte.

    Notizen: Summary Cardiac muscle cells from 3-day-old rat neonates were cultured for periods of 2 to 56 days. In order to facilitate ultrastructural studies on the organization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the cells were prepared for transmission electron microscopy according to a regimen including postfixation in reduced osmium ferrocyanide. The nonjunctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (NJSR) was organized as a loose, fenestrated sleeve around the exterior of bundles of myofilaments and was particularly prominent at the level of the Z line. The only recognizable junctional elements of the sarcoplasmic reticulum were in a peripheral location. Reduced osmium ferrocyanide was also useful in distinguishing intermediate (10nm) filaments, since it understained Z substance, which often obscured these structures. Intermediate filaments were arranged both at the Z line and the intercalated disc, in parallel strands, approximately at right angles to the myofilaments.

    Notizen: Summary The corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)-synthesizing perikarya and neural processes were detected at ultrastructural level in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and in the median eminence of control and colchicine-pretreated rats. The unlabelled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex (PAP) immunohistochemical method was used in a pre-embedding manner, on thick, non-frozen sections. In CRF-perikarya, neurosecretory granules (80–120 nm in diameter), free ribosomes, and the rough endoplasmic reticulum were labelled. Unlabelled axon terminals formed asymmetric synapses on CRF-containing perikarya and dendrites. Immunolabelled axons terminated in the palisadic zone of the median eminence.

    Notizen: Summary A semi-quantitative electron-microscopic study of neuronal cell bodies, nerve profiles and synapses in the anterior pelvic ganglia of the guinea-pig has been carried out following in vivo labelling of adrenergic nerve endings with 5-hydroxydopamine. Ganglion cells of three main types have been distinguished: 1) the majority (about 70%) not containing granular vesicles, probably cholinergic elements; 2) those containing large granular vesicles of uniform size (80–110 nm), with granules of medium density and prominent halos; and 3) those containing vesicles of variable size (60–150 nm), with very dense eccentrically placed granular cores. Some non-neuronal ‘granule-containing’ cells were present, mainly near small blood vessels. Some 95% of the total axon profiles within the ganglia were cholinergic, the remaining 5% were adrenergic. However, 99% of synapses (i.e. axons within 50 nm of nerve cell membrane with pre-and post-synaptic specialisations) were cholinergic, and 1 % were adrenergic. Only three examples of nerve cell bodies exhibiting both cholinergic and adrenergic synapses were observed. Unlike the para-and prevertebral ganglia, the pelvic ganglia contained large numbers of axo-somatic synapses. As many as 20% of the nucleated neuronal cell profiles displayed two distinct nuclei.

    Notizen: Summary An electron-microscopic study has been made of adrenergic and cholinergic nerve fibres and synapses in the pelvic ganglion of the guinea-pig at intervals of up to 60 days following section of the hypogastric and pelvic nerves. Transection of the hypogastric nerves led to degeneration of 80–90% of the cholinergic nerve profiles and synapses in the ganglion. The small number of adrenergic nerves and synapses did not change, but 30–60 days after section, this number increased 8–10 times. Transection of the pelvic nerves led to degeneration of about 15% of the cholinergic nerve terminals, but no change in adrenergic terminals. After transection of both hypogastric and pelvic nerves, only about 1% of cholinergic nerves survived, but after 30–60 days, the number of adrenergic nerves increased 8–10 times. It is concluded that following cholinergic nerve degeneration in the ganglion, adrenergic nerves, probably originating as collateral sprouts from postganglionic neurones and granule-containing cells, can replace them to some extent.

    Notizen: Summary Mouse embryos (strain NMRI) of days 9 + 2h, 9 + 12h, 10 + 2h, 10 + 12h, 11 + 2h, 12 + 2h, 13 + 2h, and 14 + 2h were fixed (i) in 3% glutaraldehyde +3% paraformaldehyde, (ii) in 1% glutaraldehyde +1% tannic acid, or (iii) in 1% glutaraldehyde +1.5% ruthenium red. The electronmicroscopic picture of the basement membrane (BM) changed depending on the fixative used. Addition of tannic acid led to a higher staining intensity of glycoproteins, whereas after ruthenium red proteoglycans were more heavily stained. The BM around the neural tube and around the epithelial tubules in the lung anlage were investigated electron microscopically. After fusion, the BM in the dorsal regions of the neural tube is missing; on days 9–10 it is, however, reformed. Between days 11 and 13 wide gaps in the BM of the lung anlage occur at the growth buds of the epithelial tubes, which are bridged on late day 13. In the basal parts of these two epithelial types membrane-bordered granules of different density occur singly or in groups. It is postulated that these structures contain BM-material and represent secretion granules. After secretion, BM-material is first bound to the cell membrane. This process is important for the initiation of the formation of the BM. Further growth, however, proceeds via lateral aggregation (self-assembly). Thus, intercellular gaps are bridged independent of the cell membrane. The process of lateral aggregation may also explain deviations from the normal course of the BM.

    Notizen: Summary The morphological changes induced in the autonomic nerves of the rat anococcygeus muscle after the injection of quinacrine (QC, 100 or 200 mg/kg) were examined by electron microscopy in order to clarify the nature of QC-binding nerves seen at the fluorescence-microscopic level. A correspondence between granular QC fluorescence and many lysosomal dense bodies is observed both in the cytoplasm of muscle cells and in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) axons during the first few days following injection. A number of brilliantly fluorescent fibres is observed 1 week after injection. At the ultrastructural level, these fibres seem to correlate with NANC axons which are crowded with many dense bodies and large granular vesicles. Notably, some lysosomal dense bodies contain many large granular vesicles. The effects of QC injection on the ultrastructure of adrenergic axons have also been observed, but are not so marked as in the NANC axons. The administration of QC did not cause complete degeneration of the NANC nerves, though degenerating axons were sometimes observed. The present data indicate that most, if not all, QC-binding nerves observed at the fluorescence-microscopic level correspond to NANC nerves at the electron-microscopic level. Furthermore, NANC axons appear to contain a considerable amount of ATP concentrated in the large granular vesicles.

    Notizen: Summary The differentiation and maturation of monocytes and neutrophil granulocytes were studied in bone marrow of normal mice by electron microscopy and cytochemical assessment of peroxidatic activity. The granule populations of the mature cells of bone marrow were identified and investigated to obtain a basis for the analysis of the earlier stages of maturation. Mature monocytes and neutrophils showed primary and secondary granules, and mature neutrophils had more of both kinds. The size, shape, and number of primary granules proved to offer the most reliable criteria for distinguishing promonocytes and promyelocytes. The primary granules of monocytes were smaller than those of mature neutrophils and were either spherical (smallest diameter 50–200 nm) or elongate (100×400 nm). Both granules had a homogeneous matrix. The granules of the granulocytes were either spherical (smallest diameter 200–300 nm) or elongate (150–200×300–500 nm), and some of them had a crystalline inclusion.

    Notizen: Summary The young of the aquatic Australian frog, Rheobatrachus silus (Leptodactylidae) develop from eggs to juvenile frogs in the mother's stomach. During brooding the stomach expands greatly and becomes very thin walled. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the distension of the stomach was accompanied by a severe disruption of the smooth muscle layers. Many of the smooth muscle cells seemed to be highly contracted and resembled smooth muscle cells contracted in the absence of an intact connective tissue matrix. Eight days after the birth of the juveniles through the mouth of the female, the stomach muscle cells had returned to a normal appearance. It is suggested that during gastric incubation of the young, smooth muscle cells become at least partially dissociated from their surrounding connective tissue matrix, allowing maximal distension of the stomach wall.

    Notizen: Summary Electron microscopy shows that in wild-type Drosophila melanogaster the anterior optic tract (AOT) is formed by about 1260 fibers in males and slightly fewer in females. Golgi staining suggests that most AOT fibers connect the lobula with different regions of the central brain. In the sine oculis (so) and small optic lobes (sol) mutants the number of axons is drastically reduced, by 58% in sol and by 35% in so. In the double mutant sol:so there is a loss of up to 83% of the fibers in the AOT. Approximately half of the remaining 220 fibers form a well defined subbundle of very thin axons which is identifiable in wild type as well as in both single mutants. The fibers of this subbundle neither originate nor terminate in the visual ganglia: instead, they connect two different central brain regions. It is concluded that the combined action of the sol and so mutations abolishes more than 90% of the fibers of visual origin or destination in the AOT. Quantitative analysis of electron micrographs shows that the so and sol mutations act independently on nearly exclusive subsets of axons in the AOT.

    Notizen: Summary Satellite cells were studied in the undamaged part of the rat soleus muscle rendered partially necrotic by a subcutaneous injection of notexin, the myotoxic toxin purified from the venom of the Australian snake Notechis scutatus scutatus. Nuclei of satellite cells were twice as numerous as in the controls, with a decreasing gradient in the number of satellite cells with distance from the necrotic area. The cells were in an activated state with an increased cytoplasmic volume and prominent organelles. Occasionally, mitosis of some satellite cells was observed. Between the satellite cell and the muscle fibre, an unusually wide space was frequently seen, within which a “new” basal lamina was often visible. It is suggested that the role of the satellite cells of undamaged muscle fibres in the regeneration of necrotic muscle is worthy of more detailed investigation.

    Notizen: Summary A sexual dimorphism of the hamster Harderian gland at the ultrastructural level, has been reported. Castration of males and the administration of testosterone to females are known to alter the male type gland to the female type and vice versa. In this paper we present data that exposure to a short photoperiod (1L:23D) can induce similar structural alterations between the 4th and 10th week of exposure. Changes in the male included reduction in the number of tubular clusters and large vacuoles, while in the female the number of membrane formations decreased with an accompanying appearance of tubular clusters.

    Notizen: Chemists recognize X-ray crystal structure analysis and electron microscopy as powerful methods of analysis. In the last 20 years the basic ideas of X-ray diffraction analysis have been extended to the field of electron microscopy, whereby an image-forming apparatus is converted into an electron diffractometer, and through which an old dream of crystallographers can be realized - the measurement of the phase shift of scattered waves, a prerequisite for the direct calculation of structures. Its most important area of application, like that of the X-ray diffractometer, is in three-dimensional structure analysis - in all fields of science. However, beyond crystallography, aperiodic structures (comparable to crystals with a single unit cell) can also be analyzed three-dimensionally. In this progress report, the development of the first idea (spatial frequency filtering) to the analysis of ribosomal particles is outlined. Attention will be focused primarily on quantitative methods for the measurement of scattered rays, which are also usable beyond the conventional limit of resolution, down to atomic resolution. In the course of this work in 1968, the principle of the three-dimensional analysis of native biological crystal structures using the electron microscope, as worked with today in many laboratories, was developed. In Munich, however, further research focused on the three-dimensional analysis of aperiodic and individual (especially biological) objects. The analysis of 50S-subunits of the procaryotic ribosome of E. coli showed surprisingly good reproducibility of the results (although only within the same orientation), allowing the deduction of almost ideal average model structures from a limited number of particles.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Spirolacton auf die Zona glomerulosa des Hundes wurde licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Die an Kontroll- und Versuchstieren erhobenen Befunde werden miteinander verglichen. 1. Lichtmikroskopisch werden bei Kontroll- und Versuchstieren zwei unterschiedlich stark anfärbbare Zelltypen beobachtet. Bereits nach 10tägiger Behandlung mit Spirolacton läßt sich eine beträchtliche Dickenzunahme der Zona glomerulosa nachweisen. Mit den angewandten Färbemethoden lassen sich in den beiden Zelltypen keine den „Spironolacton-Körpern“ ähnliche Einschlüsse darstellen. 2. Elektronenmikroskopisch zeigen die beiden Zelltypen deutliche Unterschiede in der Feinstruktur; wegen ihrer unterschiedlichen elektronenoptischen Dichte werden sie als helle und dunkle Zellen bezeichnet. Im Cytoplasma der dunklen Zellen kommen 1–4 lamelläre Körper vor, die jedoch nicht den beim Menschen beobachteten „Spironolacton-Körpern“ ähnlich sind. Nach Behandlung mit Spirolacton weisen die hellen und die dunklen Zellen (einschließlich ihrer lamellären Körper) gegenüber Kontrolltieren keine feinstrukturellen Unterschiede auf. Es wird diskutiert, ob die hellen und dunklen Zellen in der Zona glomerulosa unterschiedliche Aktivitätszustände ein und derselben Zellart darstellen. Ebenso wird die mögliche Funktion der lamellären Körper im Vergleich zu den Ergebnissen anderer Autoren erörtert.
    Notizen: Summary The effect of spirolactone on the zona glomerulosa was studied in dogs by light and electron microscopy. Results of untreated animals are compared with those pretreated with spirolactone for several days. Light microscopy in control as well as in experimental animals disclosed two different types of cells as far as their staining properties were concerned. With the staining techniques utilized in this study cellular inclusions, so-called spironolactone bodies as previously reported by others, were not seen. The width of the zona glomerulosa, however, was found to be significantly increased in treated animals. Electron microscopy revealed the two respective cell types to be definitely different. Due to their electron density they are referred to her as light and dark cells. Within the cytoplasm of the dark cells laminated inclusions were seen, ranging in size from 1 to 4 µm. These inclusions are thought to be not identical with socalled spironolactone bodies. Spirolactone did not affect the ultrastructural appearance of either light or dark cells, when compared with control, this is also true for the laminated inclusions. It is suggested that the light and dark cells represent the same type of cell at different activity levels. Finally, the functional significance of the laminated inclusions is discussed in view of findings reported elsewhere.

    Notizen: Summary In an investigation concerning the so-called “fusion” of the atrioventricular endocardial cushions in the heart of the chick embryo the following facts were established: 1. The endocardial cushions in the chick embryo do really fuse. However, the region of fusion is less extensive than is generally accepted. 2. No regressive cellular changes were observed in the fusing endothelia with light or electron microscopy. On the contrary, mitotic activity and possibly even erythroblastic transformation were observed in the endothelium as well as in the subendothelial mesenchyme. 3. Under the light microscope, the process of fusion is characterized by interdigitation of the endothelial cells. In later stages the endothelial character of these cells disappears in such a way as to give rise to one single mesenchymal cushion mass. 4. Under the electron microscope the fusing endothelial cells form extremely long tonguelike cytoplasmic processes which protrude freely into the lumen where they may fuse with similar processes from other endothelial cells of the same side. In this way small compartments become segregated from the lumen. the plasma membrane of the processes may also fuse with the plasma membrane of the cell from which they originate. Alternating persistence and disappearance of the plasma membrane gives rise to many membrane-lined intracellular vesicles. 5. The numerous myelin figures found in and between the endothelial surfaces appear to represent the blind and empty membranous linings stripped off from cytoplasmic processes. The intracellular myelin figures are probably incorporated into the cells in the same way as described above. Apart from this form of endocytosis, signs of conventional micropinocytotic activity are present. 6. The density of endoplasmic reticulum suggests intensified protein synthetic activity, in which membrane-bound as well as free ribosomes and polysomes seem to participate. Moreover, increased mitochondrial density in the cells in the fusion region is evident. 7. Specialized junctional complexes between the plasma membranes in the form of desmosome-like junctions are relatively scarce. 8. Fusion of cytoplasmic tongues of endothelial cells with adjacent endothelial cells of the same side or of the opposite side is responsible for the exchange of large quantities of cytoplasma between endothelial cells and, as a consequence, for displacement of cell boundaries without loss of cell individuality.

    Notizen: Summary Spontaneous cell death in the developing brain of 8.5–9 day old mouse embryos has been investigated with the electron microscope. Before closure of the neural tube, areas of cell death are found at the neuro-somatic junction. After closure of the neural tube degenerating cells are found in the dorsal midline of the prospective diencephalon. Ultrastructurally, cell degeneration is marked by chromatin condensation, increase in electron density of the structures in the cytoplasm and, in later stages, by a marked pycnosis of the dying cell. After fragmentation, the necrotic material as well as entire pycnotic cells are phagocytized and digested by cells of the neuroepithelium. An invasion of macrophages has not been observed. The significance of cell necrosis is discussed in relation to the normal formation of the neural tube and to the occurrence of certain induced malformations (exencephalies).

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Zur Zeit der embryonalen und fetalen Entwicklung des Hühnchens treten vorübergehend runde, vacuolisierte, freie Zellen auf, die sich durch starken Gehalt und Glykoproteiden auszeichnen. Nachweis mit der Perjodsäure-Bisulfit-Aldehydthionin-Methode nach Specht (1970). Der Vergleich von Entwicklungsstadien zwischen dem 4. und dem 17. Bebrütungstag zeigt, daß die Zellen im Mesenchym entstehen und mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit sowohl über das Ventrikelsystem als auch über die äußere Hirnoberfläche in das Gehirn einwandern. Die Zellen werden hauptsächlich in aufgelockerten, flüssigkeitsreichen Hirngebieten gefunden. Vermutlich geht die vorübergehende Auflockerung dieser Hirngebiete, die als Reservevolumen für nachfolgende histogenetische Wachstumsprozesse (Axonwachstum, Myelinisierung) verstanden wird, auf die Träger der PBA-positiven Zellen zurück (Ausschleusung von Glykoproteiden aus den PBA-positiven Zellen). Im gleichen Zeitraum bilden auch Ependymzellen Glykoproteide.
    Notizen: Summary Round, vacuolated amoeboid cells with a high content of glycoproteids appear temporarily during the embryonic development of the chicken's brain. The cells were identified by the periodic-acid-bisulfit-aldehydthionine-method (Specht, 1970). A comparison of the developmental stages (4.–17. day of incubation) of the cells show that they originate in the mesenchym and probably immigrate by way of the ventricles as well as from the outer brain surface. The cells are mainly found in brain areas containing large, loosely structured extracellular spaces. The large extracellular gaps of these areas are probably developed in response to glycoproteid secretion by PBA-positive cells, as a preparatory measure for subsequent histogenetic growth processes (axon growth with myelinisation). At the same time glycoproteids are also produced by ependymal cells.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Lamellierte Receptoren in der Haut von Reptilien werden licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch beschrieben. Rekonstruktionen aus Schnittserien haben gezeigt, daß sie 1. als freie lamellierte Endigungen, 2. als lamellierte eingekapselte Endigungen und 3. als lamellierte eingekapselte Endigungen mit Kapselraum vorkommen. Sie haben eine Spindelform und können bis zu 0,5 mm lang sein. Die innere Lamellierung des eingekapselten Receptors mit Kapselraum vom Kaiman zeigt strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten zur inneren Hülle des Vater-Pacinischen Körperchens. Das Lamellensystem der Receptoren von Natter und Waran zeigt Parallelen zum Bau des inner core des Herbstschen Körperchens der Vögel. Die lamellierten Receptoren bilden einen regelmäßigen Bestandteil der sensiblen Innervation von Tastpunkten der Reptilienhaut.
    Notizen: Summary Lamellated receptors in the skin of reptiles were studied with the light and electron microscope. As revealed by reconstructions of serial sections, there are three types of lamellated receptors: 1. lamellated free endings, 2. lamellated encapsulated endings and 3. lamellated encapsulated endings with a “fluid-filled” capsule space (outer core). The spindle shaped endings have a length of up to 0.5 mm. In Caiman, the lamellae (inner core) of the encapsulated receptor with a capsule space have a structure similar to that of the inner core of the Vater-Pacinian corpuscle. The lamellation (inner core) of the terminals of Natrix and Varan shows similarities with the inner core of the Herbst corpuscle. Lamellated receptors usually form an element of the sensory innervation of touch papillae in the reptile skin.

    Notizen: Summary The ontogenesis of the urophysial system (caudal neurosecretory system) in the roach (Leuciscus rutilus) was ultrastructurally analyzed. In newly hatched spawns the urophysial components are differentiated in the form of neurosecretory perikarya, axons and terminals and display the characteristics of a functional system although the neurohemal area is not developed. It is assumed that the system is active simultaneously with the preopticohypophysial system during ontogenesis. On the contrary, organogenesis of the urophysis is late, and only at the 14 mm stage do the neurosecretory axons first penetrate the meninx to participate in the formation of the organ. Assumed aminergic cell types associated with the urophysial system are differentiated at the time of hatching, thus indicating a functional relationship. A secretory ependyma releasing its granules into the central canal is described.

    Notizen: Summary Myotendinous junctions in the parietal muscle of the Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa, L.) and in the diaphragm of rat were studied with the electron microscope. The ends of muscle fibers posses deep tube-like invaginations and also finger-like processes. Terminal I-filaments of the myofibrils attach to the plasma membrane of the invaginations. Collagen fibrils of the tendon attach to the external aspect of the lamina densa. The lamina densa and also collagen fibrils continue into the invaginations. Specializations are present in the zone between the plasma membrane and the lamina densa of the invaginations, being most conspicuous in Myxine. These consist of 60 Å wide spine-like or thread-like profiles 150 Å apart, connecting with both the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane and the lamina densa. Spatially, they form parallel circular ridges oriented transversely in stacks along the invaginations. Similar spine-like profiles are also discernible in the invaginations of rat muscle fibers. In rat, however, their spatial arrangement (ridges or fibrils) remains unknown. These specializations may serve to attach the lamina densa to the plasma membrane, and may be important for the transmission of force from muscle fibers to tendon.

    Notizen: Summary Immobilization of the tibialis anterior muscle of the newborn rat was caused by amputation of the hind limb at the talocrural joint. Subsequent muscular atrophy was measured by weighing the muscle and the myoneural morphogenesis in the disused muscle was studied in light and electron microscope. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE; E.C.3.1.1.7) and nonspecific cholinesterase (Ns. ChE; E.C.3.1.1.8) activity at the myoneural junction was followed histochemically. It was observed that the myoneural morphogenesis proceeded normally in the immobilized and atrophied muscle. Cholinesterase activities at the developing myoneural junction were identical on both the immobilized and the contralateral control side. The myoneural morphogenesis may be solely controlled by the nerve since, at the light of the present observations, the abnormally diminished function of the muscle seems to have no effect on the myoneural development.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Bei einem jordanischen Kleinkind, das wegen einer Phenylketonurie mit cerebralen Krampfanfällen seit 1 Jahr mit Primidon und Ospolot behandelt und seit 7 Monaten mit einer phenylalaninarmen Diät unter Zusatz eines Aminosäurengemisches ernährt wurde, entwickelte sich nach 3 monatiger INH-Medikation ein hepatocellulärer Arzneimittelikterus. Dieser erwies sich klinisch und histologisch als reine Form einer toxischen Hepatose ohne entzündliche Symptome. Die elektronemmikroskopische Untersuchung von Leberbiopsiematerial 2 Wochen nach dem Höhepunkt des Ikterus (28 mg% Gesamtbilirubin im Serum) erlaubte den Nachweis eines intracellulären Transportdefektes des bereits konjugierten Bilirubins in den Leberepithelien. Das Pigment wurde analog dem Dubin-Johnson-Syndrom in peribiliären Lysosomen gespeichert. Weitere für die Pathogenese aufschlußreiche Befunde wurden an den Organellen der Hepatocyten erhoben: Hydropische Schwellung des hypertrophierten glatten endoplasmatischen Reticulums bei gleichzeitiger Reduktion des rauhen endoplasmatischen Reticulums, Glykogenschwund und Degeneration der Mitochondrien. Bei der Kontrollbiopsie nach 1/2 Jahr waren alle Befunde bis auf die lysosomale Speicherung normalisiert.
    Notizen: Abstract After being treated with isonicotinic acid hydrazine (INH) for 3 months a 3-year-old Jordanian boy with phenylketonuria developed severe hepatocellular jaundice. In addition to INH the patient had received Primidone and Ospolot® for 1 year and a PKU diet for 7 months without any side effects. The liver biopsy 2 weeks after the peak of jaundice revealed no signs of hepatitis on light microscopy. An electron microscope investigation showed a defect in the intracellular transport system of bilirubin; bile pigment was stored in peribiliar lysosomes in the same way as in the Dubin-Johnson Syndrome. The smooth endoplasmatic reticulum was increased and vacuolized, whereas rough endoplasmatic reticulum, mitochondria, and glycogen were reduced. In a control biopsy nearly 6 months after the jaundice the morphologic alterations of the liver had normalized with the exception of the lysosomal changes.

    Notizen: Summary A morphologic and histochemical study was carried out on the liver of larval and adult lampreys at the optical and electron microscopic level. In the larva the liver is composed of blind ending single cell thick tubules of hepatocytes. The tubular lumina provided with microvilli are morphologically comparable with the canalicular lumens of the higher species of animals. The cytoplasm of the hepatocytes contains numerous inclusions with heterogeneous appearance and crystalline material. The biliary system is composed of numerous bile ductules and ducts. In the adult lamprey, the biliary system has disappeared. The hepatocytes loose their tubular arrangement and the characteristic differentiation of their biliary pole. In contrast to previous reports in the literature the presence of bile pigment in the adult lamprey liver could not be demonstrated with any histochemical technique.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung 1. Die Gefäßfortsätze von ependymalen und subependymalen Zellen bilden in der subependymalen Zone und in der Zona interna des Ratteninfundibulum mit Nervenfasern kompakte neuro-gliöse Faserbündel, die sich in der Zona externa aufzweigen. 2. In allen Zonen des Infundibulum kommen zwischen den Nervenfasern und den Gefäßfortsätzen zahlreiche neuro-gliöse Synapsen vor. In den Gefäßfortsätzen fällt die hohe Zahl an Mikrotubuli sowie die zahlreichen, vielgestaltigen Einschlüsse auf. 3. In der subependymalen Zone sind die Interzellularspalten an bestimmten Stellen außerordentlich weit. Sie haben eine kanalartige Beschaffenheit und enthalten feine Bündel von Nervenfasern. 4. Von den lateralen Anteilen des Infundibulum her erreichen Dendriten von Ganglienzellen des Nucleus infundibularis die Mitte des Infundibulum. In dieser Region sind axodendritische Synapsen anzutreffen. 5. Morphometrische Analysen der Nervenfaserendigungen der Zona externa von Normaltieren zeigen, daß die prozentuale Verteilung der nach Granulagröße differenzierten Nervenfaserklassen für Mitte und Seite der Zona externa etwa gleich ist. Zwischen der Größe der Elementargranula und der Anschnittfläche der zugehörigen Nervenfasern besteht eine direkte Beziehung. 6. Die Nervenfaserendigungen erreichen die Basalmembran des perikapillären Raumes fast ausschließlich im Bereich von gefäßwärts gerichteten Vorwölbungen der Zona externa. Das Ausmaß, in dem Nervenfasern im Vergleich zu den Gefäßfortsätzen von Ependymund Gliazellen den perivaskulären Raum erreichen, ist medial weitaus größer als lateral. 7. Bei bilateral adrenalektomierten Ratten nimmt in bestimmten, vorwiegend lateral gelegenen Nervenfasern die Zahl und Größe der Elementargranula in Abhängigkeit von der Überlebensdauer zu. Dies dürfte auf eine verstärkte Synthese und Speicherung von Corticotropin-Releasing Factor in diesen Nervenfasern zurückzuführen sein. Gegenüber dem Normalbefund ist die neurohämale Kontaktfläche erheblich vergrößert. Der perivaskuläre Raum enthält zerfallene Nervenfaserteile, die durch Bindegewebszellen phagocytiert werden. Diese Veränderungen dürften durch eine unter Versuchsbedingungen verstärkte Wachstumstendenz der Nervenfasern in Richtung auf die Blutgefäße und durch eine Abschnürung der Nerven-faserendigungen ausgelöst werden.
    Notizen: Summary 1. In the subependymal and internal zones of the rat median eminence nerve fibres and vascular processes of ependymal and subependymal cells form neuro-glial bundles. They branch in the external zone. 2. In all these three zones of the infundibulum numerous neuro-glial synapses are found between nerve fibres and vascular processes of glial cells. The vascular processes contain a high number of microtubules as well as polymorphous granular inclusions. 3. In certain regions of the subependymal layer the intercellular spaces are enlarged. They form channel-like spaces containing small bundles of delicate nerve fibres. 4. Nerve cells of the infundibular nucleus located in the lateral parts of the infundibulum send dendrites to the medial parts of the infundibulum. In this area axo-dendritic synapses are found. 5. For morphometric analysis, the nerve fibres of the external zone were classified according to the diameter of their granules. It is shown that in the different regions of the external zone the distribution of the various types of nerve fibre is similar. Moreover it can be seen that a direct correlation exists between the size of the sectional plane of a given nerve fibre and the size of the granules it comprises. 6. Nerve fibre endings abutting on the basement membrane of the pericapillary space are mostly found in bulb-like protrusions of the external zone. The extent to which nerve fibres reach the perivascular space—as compared with the vascular processes of ependymal and glial cells—is higher in the medial than in the lateral parts of the infundibulum. 7. In bilaterally adrenalectomized rats the number and diameter of elementary granules increases in nerve fibres located laterally. This increase is directly related to the survival time and may be due to an enhanced synthesis and storage of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor in these nerve fibres. Compared with the findings in untreated animals the neurohemal contact area is significantly enlarged. The perivascular space contains degenerating nerve fibres which are undergoing phagocytosis by connective tissue cells. It is assumed that these alterations are due to the increased growth of nerve fibres towards the vessels of the “Mantelplexus”, and that, following adrenalectomy, this excessive growth leads to a pinching off of nerve fibres.

    Notizen: Summary An examination using the electron microscope was carried out on the visceral ganglion of the marine bivalve mollusc Spisula solida. A range of fixation, block staining and section staining technique was used to study the structure of chemical synapses. Phosphotungstic acid employed as a block stain specifically stained pre- and post-synaptic structures associated with the membrane at synapses as well as one class of granular vesicle. The specialised contacts were however shown to be rare and in many parts completely absent. Many axons, containing several types of vesicle, were shown to be varicose and it is proposed that they may function in a similar way to the unspecialised varicose terminals of vertebrate autonomic neurons. The role of membrane specialisations in intercellular adhesion is discussed. This study concludes that many synapses may be morphologically unidentified using present criteria.

    Notizen: Summary Tooth germs from foetal rats of 17 days post-insemination were maintained in vitro for 12 days. Odontoblasts and ameloblasts differentiated and secreted their respective matrices in which mineralization occurred. The ultrastructure of the cells was qualitatively similar to that observed in normal development. Odontoblasts contained more lysosome-like bodies and were found to degenerate in some sites. Mantle dentine was formed but few von Korff fibres were observed. Calcospherites were rarely seen and the mineralizing front of dentine was predominantly linear, associated with numerous small early foci of mineral formation. Enamel showed prism formation associated with the Tomes' process of the ameloblast but some local disturbances in the pattern of enamel formation were observed.

    Notizen: Summary The frequency of various types of nucleoli was investigated in tissue cultures of human embryonal lung and HeLa cells cultured in the presence of calf thymus histone. The nucleolar morphology and the frequency of various nucleolar types were dependent on the concentration of histone in the tissue cultures of the human embryonal lung cells. HeLa cells required longer cultivation with histone to manifest some effect on nucleoli. In both cases, the observed nucleolar changes suggest the depression of nucleolar RNA synthesis.

    Notizen: Summary The adrenergic innervation of the extrarenal blood vessels of the rat left kidney was investigated by fluorescence histochemistry and by electron microscopy. The trunk of the renal artery proximal to the aorta is elastic and appears to be very sparsely innervated. In contrast, near the kidney the renal artery—which divides into 3 to 4 large branches of the muscular type possesses a dense adrenergic innervation. The adrenergic terminal axons are situated in the adventitia close to the external elastic lamella, but only rarely in close contact with smooth muscle cells. In most instances several terminal axons are grouped and enclosed by a Schwann cell, single axons being rare. All terminal axons are able to take up and to store 5-hydroxydopamine which strongly suggests that they are adrenergic. The innervation of the renal vein is more sparse than that of the muscular arteries but somewhat denser than that of the elastic artery. In addition, close to the origin of the renal artery the presence of “small intensively fluorescent” (SIF) cells as well as of some adrenergic ganglion cells is noted. The latter are situated in the adrenergic nonterminal axon bundles, which run parallel to the blood vessels. It is concluded that the uneven adrenergic innervation along the artery as well as individual variations in the branching of the artery are the main causes of the unusually high individual variations of the NA content of this organ such as used in pharmacological experiments.

Die 0,2 μ langen Mikrovilli haben eine Dicke von 0,04–0,05 μ und einen Abstand von höchstens 0,1 μ voneinander. Auf der freien Oberfläche liegt ein mit Rutheniumrot anfärbbarer Film von Glykosaminoglykanen von 0,26–0,3 μ Dicke. Die Mikrovilli ragen in diesen Film hinein. Dieser Film ist für den spiegelnden Glanz der Cornea verantwortlich. Die Tränensekretion kann sehr gering sein, weil ein Teil der Flüssigkeit an die sauren Mukopolysaccharide gebunden ist. Die Moleküle dieses Films werden wahrscheinlich in der oberen Zellage synthetisiert.

The 0.2 μ long microvilli are 0.04–0.05 μ thick and are not more than 0.1 μ apart. A film of ruthenium red stainable glycosamine Glycans of 0.26–0.3 μ thickness lies on the free surface. The microvilli protrude into this film. This film is responsible for the reflecting shine of the cornea. The tear secretion can be kept at a low level as a part of the fluid is bound to the acid mucopolysaccharides. The molecules for this film are probably synthesized in the outermost cell layer.

    Thema: Biologie , Medizin
    Notizen: Summary The radioautographic technique has been used to study the axonal migration of catecholamines in sympathetic fibres of the sciatic nerve of rats after ligature. A first series of experiments aimed at ascertaining the capacity of the proximal portion of adrenergic fibres to take up and store exogenous tritiated catecholamines (3H-DOPA; 3H-DA and 3H-NA) 3 to 22 hours after ligation. The results are qualitatively similar in rats pretreated and non-pretreated with IMAO, but the intensity of the radioautographic reaction is lower in the latter cases. Most of the labeled axons are filled mainly with vesicular and tubular profiles of endoplasmic reticular origin, large dense bodies (probably lysosomes) and/or mitochondria. The silver grains are generally superimposed on the vesicular and/or the tubular profiles, but in some cases on the large dense bodies, suggesting that exogenous catecholamines can be stored in lysosomes. The question whether SGV specifically store catecholamines also in the modified adrenergic fibres has been investigated in KMnO4 fixed material. These results show that beside a large number of fibres in which there is a strict correlation between labeling and SGV, some fibres containing SGV do not retain the 3H-NA. Conversely some fibres which contain mainly agranular vesicles display radioautographic reaction. Therefore, in case of ligated fibres, SGV cannot be considered the specific organelles for storage of catecholamines. The axonal migration of labeled catecholamines has been studied in animals pretreated with IMAO. A moderate, but selective, labeling is present in the proximal portion of sciatic fibres of rats in which administration of labeled catecholamine preceeded of 2 hours the ligature and this was performed 22 hours before fixation. From these combined types of experiments, it is concluded that despite the presence of all the structures necessary for the storage of a high amount of catecholamines in the modified adrenergic fibres, only a small fraction of catecholamines accumulated above the ligature has been transported by axonal migration. Therefore, the axonal migration of catecholamines appears as an epiphenomenon related to the distal migration of enzymatic and storage proteins from the perikaryon.

    Notizen: Summary Links unusual for their length and variable morphology have been described between manchette microtubules in late stages of rat spermiogenesis. In earlier stages of rat spermiogenesis obvious links longer than ∼160 Å are rare, the majority being ∼80 or ∼120 Å in length. The most easily discernible geometric pattern in cross-sections of assemblies of manchette microtubules in intermediate stages of rat spermiogenesis is that of linear arrays sometimes resulting in long and irregularly folded chains of closely linked microtubules. Colcemid disrupts these arrays and is responsible for the formation of more complex geometric patterns. Six hours after drug administration the manchette is dramatically reduced in length. Sheet-like links of variable dimensions and 〉160 Å in length interconnect not only microtubules but C-type microtubules as well as other links. These links are similar in morphology to those found in later stages of rat spermiogenesis. It is suggested that the formation of these links may perhaps be dependent upon aspects of microtubule disassembly.

    Notizen: Summary Mucous secretory activity of the human gallbladder epithelium was investigated by light and electron microscopy and with histochemical techniques. There are two types of granules in the supranuclear region of the epithelial cells. The one low in density contains a fine filamentous material and gives a strongly positive silver methenamine reaction. The other is dense and only faintly positive. The granules of the former are considered to be mucous secretory granules and the granules of the latter may be lysosomes. PAS positive granules correspond presumably to both types of granules mentioned above. The mucous secretory granules are considered to be synthesized by the Golgi apparatus and the granular endoplasmic reticulum as has been confirmed in other mucous secretory cells. Their content is released from the cell by reverse pinocytosis. Typical goblet cells occur frequently in the fetal epithelium, but cannot be observed in the adult specimens.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Das Harnblasenepithel des Maulwurfs wurde elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Bei bestimmten Tieren finden sich in den Intermediärzellen „matrixreiche“ Riesenmitochondrien. Diese Riesenmitochondrien scheinen aus normalen Mitochondrien hervorzugehen und enthalten verschieden geformte Einschlüsse. Andere Organe und Zellen bei Maulwürfen mit Riesenmitochondrien in den Intermediärzellen des Harnblasenepithels weisen normale Mitochondrien auf. Es handelt sich demnach hier um eine sog. „Mitochondriose der Intermediärzellen“. Bedeutung, Bildung und Abbau der Riesenmitochondrien werden diskutiert.
    Notizen: Summary Giant mitochondria containing an enormous matrix volume were found in the intermediary cells of the urinary bladder transitional epithelium of the mole. Regularly shaped mitochondria develop club-like protrusions forming giant mitochondria that contain several types of inclusions. Various other tissues were examined, but we could state that giant mitochondria exist only in the intermediary cells of the urinary bladder epithelium. Thus a peculiar “intermediary cell mitochondriosis” is described in this paper, not regularly occurring in the mole. The functional significance of the giant mitochondria is discussed.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé L'évolution en l'absence d'hormone cérébrale provoque, dans les ovocytes de N. diversicolor, la formation de lamelles annelées cytoplasmiques (L.A.). Le processus débute par l'apparition de lames de réticulum à proximité du noyau (15 jours d'évolution à 15° C). Les lames se rapprochent ensuite du noyau et des pores apparaissent, situés le plus souvent face à ceux de l'enveloppe nucléaire (20ème jour). La différenciation des lames du réticulum en L.A. progresse ensuite depuis les éléments les plus proches du noyau vers les plus externes. Dans le cytoplasme des ovocytes ayant évolué à la température de 20° C, on assiste en outre à la formation d'empilements de citernes ergastoplasmiques. Ces citernes, non situées à proximité du noyau, subissent également une transformation progressive en L.A. L'étude cytochimique effectuée par digestion enzymatique a montré que la pepsine dégrade fortement le matériel dense des lamelles annelées. Ce matériel semble donc renfermer une teneur élevée en protéines auxquelles pourrait se trouver associé du RNA.
    Notizen: Summary Experimental elimination of brain activity leads to the formation of cytoplasmic annulate lamellae (L.A.) in oocytes of N. diversicolor. This process begins with the appearance of cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum in the vicinity of the nucleus (15 days of development at 15° C). Then, the cisternae move closer to the nucleus and pores appear, often facing the pores of the nuclear envelope (20th day). The differentiation of endoplasmic reticulum into L.A. progresses from the elements closest to the nucleus to the more peripheral ones. In the cytoplasm of oocytes which developed at 20° C, stacks of cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum have been observed. These cisternae, which are not localized near the nucleus, also undergo a progressive transformation into annulate lamellae. A cytochemical study, based on enzymatic digestion, shows that pepsin strongly digests the dense material of L.A. This material, therefore, seems to contain a high amount of proteins, perhaps associated with RNA.

Die Zellkörper sitzen in den Nischen zwischen den Kapillaren, die sie mit Zytoplasmaausläufern überdecken. Die Epithelzellen enthalten große Zytosomen mit osmiophilen Lamellen mit einer Periode von 40–42 Å. Sie sind den Typ II-Pneumozyten der Säugerlunge vergleichbar. Das Alveolarepithel der Froschlunge ist mit einer Grenzschicht bedeckt, die in Abhängigkeit von der Fixierung eine 40–42 Å-Periode aufweist oder aus einer oder mehreren Doppelmembranen zusammengesetzt ist. Gittermuster und Myelinfiguren sind vorhanden. Das bedeutet, daß Surfactant in der Froschlunge in gleicher Weise wie in der Säugerlunge dargestellt werden kann.
    Notizen: Summary The alveolar epithelium of the frog exhibits only one type of cells. The cell-bodies are situated in the spaces among the capillaries, which they cover with cytoplasmic extensions. The epithelial cells contain large bodies (cytosomes) with osmiophilic lamellae having a period of 40–42 Å. The alveolar cells are considered to be similar to the type II-pneumocytes of mammalian lungs. The alveolar epithelium of the lung of the frog is covered with a lining layer, which depending on the method of fixation consists of periods of 40–42 Å or of one or more double membranes. Lattice formations and myelin figures are seen. This means that the surfactant in the lung of the frog can be demonstrated in the same way as in mammalian lungs.

    Notizen: Summary Synaptosomes and synaptic junctions have been examined employing serial sections, with emphasis placed on four areas of investigation. 1. Starting from unequivocal synaptosomal profiles and tracing them through consecutive sections to the periphery of the synaptosomes, it is clear that vesicles are the one constant feature of the presynaptic terminal. In no instance was it possible to identify an empty membranous profile as synaptosomal. 2. Following a similar procedure it was found that the criteria required to predict the existence of a junctional region within a synaptosomal profile are: the accumulation of synaptic vesicles at one locus within its presynaptic component, and the presence of a postsynaptic profile characterized by two or more junctional features. 3. Serial sections of non-osmicated, PTA stained synaptic junctions confirm the regularity and orderliness of dense projection distribution along the length of the junction. 4. Complex vesicles can usually be followed in two and sometimes three adjacent sections, appearing either as intact vesicles or empty shells. Further observations confirmed that the latter profiles may be sections through the periphery of intact vesicles or through isolated shell fragments. They are more common in the latter form in unbuffered material.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Die Hardersche Drüse von Anser anser, Anas platyrhynchos und Cygnus olor wurde cytochemisch, licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Vergleichend-anatomisch ergibt sich für die drei Species derselbe Drüsenaufbau. Sie bestehen aus Läppchen bzw. kurzen Tubuli, die von einem einschichtigen, hochprismatischen Epithel ausgekleidet sind, das sich auf die in die Tubuli hineinragenden Leisten bzw. Zotten fortsetzt. Es müssen zentrale und periphere Drüsenabschnitte unterschieden werden. Nur die zentralen Zellen enthalten neutrale und saure Mukosubstanzen. In Semidünnschnitten (Richardson) erweisen sich die peripheren Drüsenzellen als stark vakuolisiert. Zentralwärts nimmt die Vakuolisierung ab, die basale Basophilie nimmt zu. In den Harderschen Drüsen von Gänsen und Enten wurden neben Hydrolasen eine Reihe von Oxydo-Reduktasen aus der Glykolysekette, dem Citratzyklus und der Atmungskette sowie die Enzyme G-6-PDH, GDH, β-HBDH und GLuDH nachgewiesen. Die zentralen Drüsenabschnitte sind mit hohen Aktivitäten der glykolytischen Oxydo-Reduktasen und der NADPH2-liefernden Enzyme ausgestattet. Hydrolytische lysosomale Enzyme, Esterasen und Phosphatasen sind in der Harderschen Drüse nur in geringer Menge vorhanden. Stets können cholinerge Nerven nachgewiesen werden. — Elektronenmikroskopie: Alle Drüsenzellen werden an den apikalen seitlichen Kontaktflächen durch ein differenziertes Schlußleistennetz (Zonulae occludentes, Zonulae adhaerentes, Desmosomen) verbunden. An den zentralen Drüsenzellen lassen sich eine Basalzone (Zellkern, ER), eine ausgedehnte Golgi-Zone und ein apikales Zell-areal unterscheiden. Die Sekretvakuolen entstehen durch Membranabknospung aus dem Golgi-Apparat, ihr Sekret wird durch Ruptur des apikalen Plasmalemms extrudiert. Die peripheren Drüsenzellen weisen strukturelle Merkmale von Becherzellen auf. Ein schmaler basaler Cytoplasmabezirk enthält den komprimierten Kern, der übrige Zellraum überwiegend leere Vakuolen, Membranreste, Lamellenkörper und Lysosomen. Terminale Nervenfasern mit bekannter Innenstruktur durchbrechen die Basalmembran und lagern sich den Drüsenzellen eng an, teilweise in Vertiefungen ihrer basalen und basolateralen Oberfläche eingebettet. Diese terminalen Axone enthalten massenhaft synaptische Vesikel, vereinzelt Bläschen mit einem massendichten Granulum und Mitochondrien. Spezialisierte prae- und postsynaptische Membranen kommen nicht vor.
    Notizen: Summary The Harderian gland of Anser anser, Anas platyrhynchos and Cygnus olor has been investigated cytochemically, light microscopically and ultrastructurally. Comparison of these glands within the three species reveals identical structures. The surface of the short glandular tubules carries a single-layered, cylindrical epithelium, which continuously covers all the villi protruding into the tubular lumen. There is evidence for a significant difference between the central and peripheral parts of the glandular tubules. Cytochemical reactions for neutral and acid mucosubstances are positive only in central glandular parts. The semi-thin sections (Richardson staining) show highly vacuolated glandular cells within the peripheral areas. This vacuolisation decreases the more centrally the cells are situated, but conversely their basal basophilic staining increases towards the center. Within the Harderian gland of geese and ducks we have localized by histochemical means several hydrolases and oxydoreductases which reflect enzyme activities of the glycolytic pathway, the citrate cycle, and related metabolic pathways. The activities of glycolytic oxydoreductases and the pentose phosphate pathway enzymes are remarkably high within the central glandular parts. Lysosomal hydrolases, esterases and phosphatases are only to be demonstrated in very moderate degree of activity. All specimens of the Harderian gland contain cholinergic nerves. The ultrastructural analysis reveals highly differentiated apical cellular contacts (zonulae adhaerentes, desmosomes). There are only small intercellular spaces. The centrally located glandular cells can be divided into three compartments, a basal zone containing the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum, a large Golgi zone and an apical zone containing abundant secretory vacuoles, which emerge from the Golgi apparatus. The secretory products are extruded by rupture of the apical cellular membrane. — The peripheral glandular cells show many similarities to goblet cells. There is only a small basal cytoplasmic are which contains a compressed nucleus, whereas the whole cell is filled with mostly empty vacuoles, membranes, lamellar bodies and lysosomes. — Terminal nerve fibres penetrate the basal lamina and make contact with the glandular cells. The terminal axons contain abundantly synaptic vesicles, sporadic dense cored vesicles and mitochondria. Until now, we could not find any specialized presynaptic or postsynaptic membranes.

    Notizen: Summary Electron microscopic investigations of the pulmonary epithelium of human foetuses reveal the occurrence of cells exhibiting fine-structural characteristics of polypeptide hormone producing APUD cells. Three types of cells were identified mainly on basis of the morphology of their secretory granules. Cells of type 1 have the appearance of monoamine storing cells and the dense core of vesiculated granules of these cells are reactive to argentaffine reaction performed directly on ultra-thin sections. Cells of type 2 contain granules of uniform shape and size and of rather homogeneous appearance. Besides in larger bronchial tubules these cells are localized in the epithelium of developing alveoli. Cells of type 3 with large osmiophilic granules tightly bound by a membrane are few and scattered. These cells are observed in larger bronchial tubuli only.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of the lamina propria of human seminiferous tubules was analyzed in normal specimens and compared to biopsies showing great thickenning of this area in light microscopy. The contractile cells are stellate in shape, the intercellular gaps between their branchings being less than 150 Å. The cytoplasmic features of these cells are similar to those described by Ross and Long (1966) and do not differ significantly in the pathological cases examined. The intercellular components, namely collagen fibers, microfibrils and an incomplete basement membrane-like coating of the contractile cells, are strikingly increased in the thickenned lamina propria, although the number of layers making up this structure needs not be increased. Occasionally, the intercellular space is occupied by only one of these materials. The distribution of collagen permits identification of two main patterns in the thickenned lamina propria: a) one where the basement membrane of the seminiferous epithelium is separated from the first layer of contractile cells by a wide collagen zone, and b) another case where the layer displaying greater thickness because of increased collagen deposition is located further away from the germinal epithelium. The functional activity of the contractile cells, the physiological implication of structural alterations of the lamina propria and the necessity to correlate these observations to andrological findings, are discussed.

    Notizen: Summary The unincubated chick blastoderm, which consists of a complete upper epithelial layer of one cell thickness (epiblast) and an incomplete lower layer (hypoblast), was examined with the electron microscope in order to define the types of cell contact present. The terminal contacts between the cells of the epiblast invariably involved several focal tight junctions, but only occasionally involved tight junctions. Desmosomes were not observed in these areas, but were encountered in various phases of development in the deeper contact regions between epiblast cells. This deeper region also showed sporadic focal tight junctions and frequent micropapillae. These micropapillae were also common on the surfaces of hypoblast cells. Intercellular spaces between epiblast and hypoblast cells and within the hypoblast were often wide, narrowing to occasional focal tight junctions. Tight junctions and desmosomes were not observed in association with hypoblast cells. Gap junctions were not observed in any region of the embryo. These observations are discussed in relation to the morphogenetic movements occurring in the forming hypoblast and also the influence of this layer on the subsequent development of the embryo. Comparisons are drawn between the contact morphology in the unincubated blastoderm and that in later stages of development.

    Notizen: Summary Carausius morosus starved and deprived of water lose about 30% of their body weight in 4 days, mainly due to water loss. Isolated inferior tubules from starved dehydrated insects secrete urine at 0.041 nl·mm−1·min−1 compared with 0.118 nl·mm−1·min−1 in those from fed hydrated insects. This difference is due partly to the level of a diuretic (and perhaps also an antidiuretic) hormone in the haemolymph acting directly on the urine-secreting mechanism and partly to changes in the intrinsic capacity of the tubule cells for urine secretion. This latter change is accompanied by structural changes in the tubules. During starvation and dehydration the lumen becomes packed with white granules, the height of the type 1 cells is reduced, their basal infoldings and brush border become shorter and their mitochondrial volume is reduced.

    Notizen: Summary Young rats were treated with high doses of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Osteoclasts from these animals revealed characteristic alterations in comparison to control cells: a) The cytoplasm contained large vacuoles with phagocytosed cells, some of which resembled osteoblasts or osteocytes. The vacuoles were interpreted as lysosomes because the engulfed cells often appeared partly digested and the vacuoles contained acid phosphatase as demonstrated histochemically, b) lipid droplets were present in the cytoplasm and usually located close to the endoplasmic reticulum and/or in regions with many free ribosomes, c) the Golgi complex was more frequently separated from the nuclei than in control cells, d) small coated cytoplasmic bodies were numerous in the peripheral cytoplasm, e) the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum were fused in some places, f) cytoplasmic regions with numerous free ribosomes were frequent, g) large ring-shaped granules occurred in some mitochondria. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis of these granules provided evidence that they contained calcium and probably phosphorus, h) in some osteoclasts the mitochondria were enlarged. — The findings are consistent with an increased activity of osteoclasts and in particular a stimulation of the lysosomal system in these cells.

    Notizen: Summary One of two types of paracrystalline inclusions, other than Reinke crystals, was encountered in the Leydig cells of the normal mature testes of 9 out of 10 patients. The basic ultrastructure of these formations was that of parallel arrays of fine filaments (8 cases) or tubules (1 case). The filamentous structures, designated as type A paracrystals, consisted of fascicles of parallel rows of 4 or 5 dense fibrils. The latter typically contained dense granules or banded striations spaced at regular intervals. In 4 cases the inclusions were found in the cytoplasm while in 4 others they were confined to the nuclei. The tubular type of paracrystal, type B, was observed in only one patient. Here, groups of closely packed tubular inclusions occupied large portions of cytoplasm. The tubular walls were composed of closely applied, small, circular profiles. In no instance were paracrystals and Reinke crystals encountered in the same cell. A possible role of the former as precursors of the latter is discussed but there is no strong supporting evidence for this despite certain suggestive similarities in unit and subunit measurements.

    Notizen: Summary The effects of mating on the depletion of osmiophilic material from dense-core vesicles (DCV) within the external layer of the rabbit median eminence (ME) were investigated. Two different populations of DCV were demonstrated within the ME external layer of the non-mated control animals. A plot of the diameters of these vesicles showed two peaks, one at 90–100 nm, and the other at 120–130 nm. These two populations of DCV were found in separate axons and axon terminals in contact with, or near the perivascular spaces of, portal capillaries. Within these axons and terminals an occasional membrane profile or “vesicle ghost” was also observed. The same two populations of DCV were evident in the ME external layer of animals that were sacrificed at 10 minutes post-coitus. In these experimental animals, the number and size of the smaller population of DCV were the same as those of the none-mated controls. However, there was an obvious decrease in the number of the large (120–130nm) DCV, together with a simultaneous marked increase in the number of “vesicle ghosts”. These ghosts had a mean diameter of 137±14 nm. On the basis of their size, it is suggested that the “vesicle ghosts” represent large DCV that have been depleted of their content following mating. Ultrastructural evidence for the depletion of osmiophilic material from the large DCV of mated animals is provided. According to previous writers the smaller DCV within the ME are aminergic, whereas the larger DCV may contain releasing factors (RF). Our findings provide further morphological evidence to support this hypothesis. Furthermore, RF and biogenic amines appear to be contained within separate nerve terminals in the rabbit ME.

The tentacle itself does not regenerate, but the receptor organs at the distal end of the normal tentacle differentiate at the level of the section. The newly formed eye is smaller than the control; however, its components and subcellular characteristics resemble those of the normal eye.

Ils sont formés par une cellule apicale saillante enchassée dans une cellule musculaire en anneau. L'ensemble de ces formations est étudié du point de vue ultrastructural. Des cellules épithéliales partent des fibres nerveuses afférentes, sans doute vecteur des perceptions de stimuli mécaniques de pression au niveau du tégument; la réponse se faisant sans doute par la contraction de la cellule basale de chaque organe de Bayer, innervée par des fibres nerveuses efférentes, entrainant la saillie de la cellule apicale.

    Notizen: Summary The integument of Glossiphonia complanata, built up by epithelial cells, contains numerous particular organs (Bayer organs), mainly on the dorsal side of the animal. They consist of a protuberant apical cell, which is surrounded by a ring-shaped muscle cell. All the integumentary formations are studied from an ultrastructural point of view. From the epithelial cells issue afferent nerve fibres, considered as vectors of the perception of mechanical stimuli of pressure at the level of the integument; the response no doubt operating by the contraction of the basal muscle cell of each Bayer organ, innervated by efferent nerve fibres, bringing forth the protrusion of the apical cell. The erection of these numerous papillae of the dorsal integument might be a signal perceived by the sexual partner, fecundation occurring in this group of leeches under the integument.

    Notizen: Summary The fat body sheath which surrounds the ventral nerve cord of the adult stick insect, Carausius morosus, is absent in the hatchling. Since the haemolymph sodium ion compositions of the two stages are similar, it is suggested that the fat body sheath is not a site of a blood-brain barrier dealing with extra-axonal regulation of sodium. Similarities of ultrastructure in connectives of adults and hatchlings are demonstrated, and tight junctions are shown to occur in perineural cells of both stages. The possible significance of this to the blood-brain barrier of this insect is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary The atrio-ventricular (A-V) node of the monkey heart is located in the focus of converging atrial muscle. Three main atrial muscle strands, coming from the atrio-ventricular ring, the dorsal wall of the atria, and the ventral part of the atrial septum, converge in the nodal region where they overlap and are interconnected. The junctional type of fibers establishing interconnection between the atrial muscle and the nodal tissue are not strictly localized at the periphery of the node, but may be traced further, along the A-V ring and coronary sinus. The A-V node consists of a loose peripheral and a compact distal part. In the former, typical nodal fibers were found, while the compact part shows an important individual variation in structure and cell-types. In some monkey hearts, the nodal fibers gradually become broader bundle fibers, while in other specimens the junctional fibers surround the compact part and than penetrate the nodal-His (N-H) region. These junctional fibers become nodal fibers or are in terminal contact with large clear cells up to 50 μ in diameter. Clear cells of various diameters are often intercalated between the cell rows of the nodal and His-bundle fibers and may form a distinct cellular gate between the node and the His-bundle.

    Notizen: Summary Sarcomere assemblage in striated muscle of the early developing chick embryo was studied with the electron microscope. In myogenic chick somites, non-striated myofibrils are seen with the electron microscope, prior to striated ones. These crude myofibrils are traversed at regular periodic intervals by a tubular system which is associated with dense Z-line material shortly after its appearance. Longer sarcomeres as well as banding patterns similar to those found in mature striated muscle follow and possibly depend on prior Z-line formation.

    Notizen: Summary In the sino-atrial (S-A) node of the monkey heart two types of muscle cells occur: 1. typical nodal cells which are the predominant cells and form the nodal fibers. 2. “Intercalated clear cells” with various diameters (4 to 12 μm) and containing poorly developed myofibrils, rich in glycogen and demonstrating poor staining properties. These latter cells are dispersed, few in number, and never form discrete fibers of themselves, but are intercalated between the cell rows of the typical nodal fibers. Such intercalated clear cells become more numerous at the periphery of the node. Interconnection between the S-A node and the conventional atrial muscle is established by a progressive transformation of nodal fibers into atrial fibers producing an intermediate (or junctional) type of fiber at the nodal periphery. However, in addition, few nodal fibers make direct contact with the atrial cardiocytes. Our light and EM studies have failed to prove the existence of truly specialized internodal pathways. Nevertheless intercalated clear cells, nodal-like cells, junctional or intermediate type of cells are relatively frequent in valvular regions (Thebesian, Eustachian, A-V, fossa ovalis) and less frequent in other regions of the atrial wall.

    Notizen: Summary In the pars tuberalis of the hypophysis of Rana temporaria, which shows the ultrastructural characteristics of a polypeptide hormone secreting endocrine gland, seasonal changes of the ultrastructure are described. In accordance with the literature, these seasonal changes of ultrastructure are interpreted as the morphological expression of seasonal changes of endocrine activity of the pars tuberalis.

    Notizen: Summary To see whether adenohypophysial tissue has the capacity of self-differentiation, Rathke's pouch together with part of the neurohypophysial primordium was isolated from 12-(Group A), 14- (Group B) and 15-day-old (Group C) rat fetuses and cultivated for 9, 6 and 5 days, respectively. Electron microscopic examination of these explants showed many adenohypophysial cells containing electron dense granules, indicative of cytodifferentiation in all groups. Three cell types were distinguishable on the basis of the size of their granules. Variable amounts of neurohypophysial tissue were seen in some explants of Groups B and C, but not A. This “pars nervosa” contained pituicytes with lipid-like inclusions in their cytoplasm but no neurosecretory axons. The adenohypophysial cells abutting on the pars nervosa were arranged rather regularly like cells of the pars intermedia which contained a few granules of about 200 mμ diameter. From these data it is concluded that in rats granule formation in the adenohypophysial primordial cells starts in the absence of hypothalamic neurosecretory substances. It is uncertain from this study whether these cells actually contain hypophysial hormones.

    Notizen: Summary Ultrastructural diversification of muscle fibers, with regard particularly to myofibrillar changes, has been investigated in the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and the slow-twitch soleus muscles of the rat during fetal and postnatal development in the presence and in the absence of motor innervation. The band pattern and the shape of the myofibrils were uniform in fetal and neonatal muscle fibers and underwent differential changes during the first weeks after birth, concomitantly with fiber type specialization. The most evident variations in myofibrillar structure arising in this period concern the thickness of the Z band and the arrangement of the myofibrils. Myofibril formation was at first not impaired by denervation of rat muscles performed in utero and, although focal disintegration of myofibrils and detachment and loss of orientation of filaments became apparent by one week, atrophic muscle fibers with well-organized myofibrils could be seen as late as 2 months after birth. However, denervated muscle fibers of EDL and soleus did not display any significant and consistent difference in myofibrillar band pattern and shape. No variation in mitochondrial content and sarcoplasmic reticulum development was likewise seen in muscle fibers of EDL and soleus after fetal denervation. The findings emphasize the importance of neuromuscular interactions in muscle differentiation.
