    Notizen: Summary To characterize the in situ cellular immune response in localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL), the authors studied frozen skin biopsies from 50 patients with LCL due toLeishmania braziliensis guyanensis. A panel of 31 monoclonal antibodies was used, which defined the number and distribution of inflammatory cell subsets. Skin inflammatory infiltrates were composed of T cells (with a local CD4/CD8 ratio of 1.05±0.7 vs 1.48±0.3 in peripheral blood), macrophages and a smaller number of B cells, natural killer cells and granulocytes. Most of the T cells expressed activation markers (interleukin-2 and transferrin receptors, HLA-DR+) and an increase in T-cell-receptorγδ expression was noted. Analysis of the CD4+ subpopulations with newly available reagents showed that helper T cells (CD4+CD45RO+) exceeded the suppressor/inducer subset (CD4+CD45RA+) by 1.4∶1. There were no differences between local immune variables from patients with primary infection (45 patients) and those with recurrence (5). In 7 patients, biopsies were analysed before and 1 month after specific treatment, and did not show significant differences except for a small increase of dermal CD1a+ (Langerhans) cells/mm2. The observed pattern of cellular skin infiltration suggests an immune-mediated tissue injury including T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity and delayed hypersensitivity reactions in addition to direct parasitic action.

    The glomerular mesangium: capillary support function and its failure under experimental conditions (1992)

    Notizen: Summary We present a structural analysis of the ability of the biomechanical unit consisting of mesangium and glomerular basement membrane to maintain normal capillary architecture in the face of mechanical challenges due to high intraglomerular pressures. Capillary support function may be considered in terms of the stabilization of local form (development of wall tension against capillary dilation) and global form (centripetal fixation of capillary loops to maintain higher order form). The pathologic consequences of the loss of this support are illustrated by way of experimental models of mechanical mesangial failure. Such failure may express itself as mesangial widening, increased transmesangial macromolecule “traffic,” ballooning of capillary segments, and unfolding of capillary loops. Mechanisms are described by which these structural changes may lead to segmental glomerular sclerosis.

    Carvedilol and the kidney (1992)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary Antihypertensive drugs have differing effects on renal hemodynamics, tubular function, plasma electrolytes, and hormonal responses. Nonselective β-blockers without intrinsic sympathomimetic activites, such as propranolol, have been reported to reduce renal blood flow and to cause a modest decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Carvedilol is a new multiple action agent displaying nonselective β-blockade without intrinsic sympathicomimetic activity, α1-adrenoceptor blockade (probably responsible for its vasodilator activity), and possibly also calcium antagonist properties. The presence of these different pharmacodynamic properties results in a different effect on the kidney as compared with, e.g., propranolol. In the dog, intrarenal infusion of carvedilol resulted in a renal vasodilator response with preservation of renal blood flow and without inducing sodium retention; in contrast, propranolol induced a renal vasoconstrictor response and sodium retention in this model. A renal vasodilator response to carvedilol was also reported in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and in DOCA-salt SHR. In contrast to labetalol, i.v. infusion of hypotensive doses of carvedilol in conscious SHR did not cause sodium retention. Carvedilol was effective in controlling hypertension and preserving renal function in a rat model of progressive hypertensive renal disease. In patients with essential hypertension, carvedilol was reported to reduce renal vascular resistance in the presence of reduced perfusion pressure, allowing for normal renal autoregulation of renal blood flow. Although a small reduction in glomerular filtration rate was seen after acute administration, renal function was preserved during chronic treatment. It is concluded from these studies that renal perfusion and renal function are well maintained during acute and chronic treatment with carvedilol. The compound does not appear to cause sodium retention, and preliminary animal test data suggest the possibility of a renoprotective effect.

    Notizen: Summary Cells of the renal medulla regulate their volume by transmembrane ion movements when exposed to large changes in osmolality. Since renal cells in culture release KHCO3 in response to hypotonic stress [11], we investigated the effect of an acute water load on urinary KHCO3 excretion in 5 healthy individuals. Water diuresis was induced by the ingestion of 1.51 hypoosmolal fluid (22 mosm/kg H2O) over 15 min. The rate of urinary volume excretion increased from an initial value of 1.4 ml/min to 9.3 ml/min after 75 min. Urinary osmolality dropped from an initial value of 940±32 mosm/kg H2O to 74±4 mosm/kg H2O (n = 5). The decrease of osmolality was accompanied by the transient release of potassium and bicarbonate. Peak values of KHCO3 excretion were observed between 30 and 45 min after the onset of the experiment corresponding to the drop of urinary osmolality. The magnitude of renal potassium release correlated significantly (r=0.93; P 〈 0.05) with endogenous plasma aldosterone concentrations measured prior to the experiment in the 5 volunteers. We conclude that medullary epithelial cells release KHCO3 when exposed to hypotonic stress. The volume regulatory response is upregulated by aldosterone.

    Notizen: Summary Clearance studies were performed for 2 days in two groups of age-matched young female volunteers: those with low caries prevalence and those with high caries prevalence. Both groups were kept on a low-calcium diet for 1 week and received 0.5 g calcium at the beginning of the second day. In both groups, glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow rate and renal excretions of sodium, calcium, and phosphate were subject to significant circadian variations. In both groups the administration of calcium led to a significant increase in renal excretion of sodium and calcium and a significant decrease in that of phosphate. On the first day, calcium excretion was significantly greater in those with low caries prevalence than in those with high caries prevalence, pointing to altered calcium homeostasis in this group.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary The aim of the present study was to investigate β-adrenoceptor modulation of noradrenaline release from sympathetic nerves in superfused cortical kidney slices of 4-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and age-matched controls (WKY). After preincubation with 3H-noradrenaline the kidney slices were electrically stimulated in superfusion chambers. The stimulation induced (S-I) outflow of radioactivity was mainly composed of unmetabolized 3H-noradrenaline in both strains and thus taken as an index of noradrenaline release. There was a frequency-dependent (1.25–20 Hz) increase in the S-1 outflow of radioactivity. At all stimulation frequencies tested S-I outflow of radioactivity was similar or even slightly lower in SHR than in WKY kidney slices in either the absence or presence of cocaine (10 μmol/l). The non-selective β-adrenoceptor agonists isoprenaline (0.l gmol/1) and adrenaline (0.01 and 0.1 μmol/l) enhanced S-I outflow of radioactivity. The facilitatory effects of isoprenaline (0.1 μmol/l) and adrenaline (0.1 μmol/l) were blocked by the selective β2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 118551 (0.1 μmol/l) but not by the selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist atenolol (0.3 μmol/l). The cell-permeable CAMP analogue 8-bromo-cAMP (300 μmol/l) enhanced S-1 outflow of radioactivity to a similar extent in both SHR and WKY kidney slices. A combination of 8-bromo-cAMP (300 μmol/l) and adrenaline (0.1 μmol/l) did not enhance S-1 outflow of radioactivity to a greater extent than 8-bromo cAMP (300 μmol/l) alone in both strains. However, the facilitatory effects of isoprenaline (0.1 μmol/l) and adrenaline (0.1 μmol/l) but not that of adrenaline (0.01 μmol/l) were significantly greater in SHR than in WKY. The results suggest that stimulation of prejunctional β2-adrenoceptors by adrenaline even in the absence of a-adrenoceptor blockade enhances noradrenaline release in kidney cortex of young SHR and WKY. This β2-adrenoceptor mediated effect may possibly be dependent on cAMP formation. The greater facilitatory effects of isoprenaline (0.1 μmol/l) and adrenaline (0.1 μmol/l) in SHR as compared to WKY are in accord with receptor binding studies which show a higher density of β2-adrenoceptors in SHR than in WKY kidney cortex.

    Influence of antihypertensive therapy on renal function (1992)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Summary Antihypertensive therapy influences kidney function by different mechanisms depending on the mode of action of the drug used. The GFR is improved by calcium entry blockers and ACE inhibitors, unaffected by vasodilators, α-blockers and centrally acting sympatholytics and impaired by β-blockers. The same is true for renal blood flow and is due to changes of renal vascular resistance. Renal sodium excretion is impaired mostly by vasodilators, by α-blockers, sympatholytics and β-blockers; in contrast, calcium entry blockers and ACE inhibitors acutely induce natriuresis. The RAAS is stimulated by vasodilators, unaffected by α-blockers and sympatholytics and suppressed by β-blockers. Plasma catecholamines are stimulated by vasodilators and suppressed by centrally acting sympatholytics and unaffected by the others. Induction of acute renal functional impairment is reported for ACE inhibitors under conditions of compromised renal perfusion pressure such as in renal artery stenosis. These data from the literature reviewed are supported by our own experimental data on sodium balance under different drugs and micropuncture data in experimental renal artery stenosis. To achieve effective antihypertensive treatment with a low profile of side effects, careful monitoring of renal function seems to be mandatory.

    Ca2+ uptake by endoplasmic reticulum of renal cortex. II. Effects of uninephrectomy and parathyroidectomy (1992)

    Notizen: Summary Calcium uptake by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is important for cellular calcium homeostasis, yet its regulation in nonmuscle cells is poorly understood. We reported that Ca2+ uptake by a light fraction of canine renal cortical ER (LER) is stimulated by protein kinase C in vitro. Here we describe conditions in vivo that stimulated renal cortical LER Ca2+ uptake. Thirty minutes after contralateral nephrectomy in the dog, 45Ca2+ uptake into renal cortical LER was increased 42% above control LER. There was no difference in LER Ca2+ uptake 24 hours after uninephrectomy. Acute denervation did not reproduce the increase in LER 45Ca2+ uptake seen at 30 minutes after uninephrectomy, nor did prior thyroparathyroidectomy abolish it. Forty-eight hours after thyroparathyroidectomy, 45Ca2+ uptake activity into renal cortical LER was decreased ≈sevenfold. In a proximal tubular cell line (LLC-PK1), 30-minute incubation with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate doubled 45Ca2+ uptake into a nonmitochondrial pool. Pretreatment with epidermal growth factor halved ER Ca2+ uptake, whereas insulin-like growth factor and growth hormone, alone or in combination, had no effect. Our data suggest that Ca2+ uptake into renal cortical ER is stimulated acutely during compensatory renal growth, perhaps through protein kinase C, and is stimulated chronically by parathyroid hormone.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Bei Ausgrabungen in Bulgarien wurden Schädel und Knochen von 39 Individuen im Alter zwischen 35 und 60 Jahren, die vor ca. 45–50 Jahren begraben wurden, gefunden. Bei der nachfolgenden gerichtsmedizinischen Experitse wurden in zwei intakten Schädeln und zwischen den Knochen anderer Schädel sieben harte Gebilde (zwei ganze und fünf Fragmente), die wie geschrumpfte menschliche Gehirne aussahen, identifiziert. Entsprechende Proben von diesem Material wurden für 3–4 Tage mit 15% wässriger Lösung von Glycerol weicher gemacht und danach lichtmikroskopisch und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. An entsprechenden Stückchen von frischem menschlichem Gehirn und den gefundenen Proben wurde eine Atomspektral-analyse zur Bestimmung des chemischen Bestandes an Elementen durchgeführt. Die komplexe Untersuchung des Materials ergab, daß es sich bei diesem Fund um einen Sonderfall von natürlich mumifizierten menschlichen Gehirnen handelt, die durch sonderbare Bedingungen nur im Schädel der begrabenen Individuen entstanden sind.
    Notizen: Summary When skulls and bones were exhumed from a mass grave in Bulgaria and subjected to medicolegal examination they were found to originate from 39 humans aged 36–60 years old who had been buried approximately 45–50 years ago. Solid structures which strongly resembled shrunken human brain tissue were found inside 2 intact skulls. Among other bones 5 similar structures were found one of which was an almost entirely preserved human brain, and the others were fragments from different regions of the human brain. Samples of these structures were immersed in 15% aqueous glycerol solution to soften and were examined by light and electron microscopy. Sampels of this material and of fresh human brain were subjected to elementary atomic spectral analysis. These complex studies indicated the samples to be naturally mummified human brain tissue and that this process had occurred due to specific conditions within the cranial cavities after burial.

    Notizen: Summary A case of severe exercise-induced myoglobinuria in a 14-year-old boy suffering from a carnitine-palmityl-transferase (CPT) defect is reported. Biopsies of the forearm muscle were examined using light and electron microscopy in the acute and recovery phases of the illness. The first biopsy showed the presence of scattered foci of necrosis where necrotic fibres with occasional disruptions of the basal lamina were seen around injured capillaries. Various degrees of damage and different stages of evolution were found in these foci, which also contained regenerating muscle fibres. In the second biopsy, performed 2 weeks later, most of the fibres displayed a normal structure. Necrosis was no longer present. However, in some areas perivascular fibrosis was prominent, the fibres were small and irregularly shaped, and their nuclei often centrally located. These data strongly suggest that circulatory disorders and ischaemia, brought about by premature acute metabolic imbalance, could be involved in the development of exerciseinduced myolysis observed in CPT deficiency. The risk of fibrous cardiomyopathy in these patients is pointed out.

    Notizen: Summary In the transgenic TG.SH (mouse mammary tumour virus/v-Ha-ras) mouse, designed to develop mammary tumours, occasional spontaneous salivary gland tumours have been reported, predominantly in males. The incidence and histomorphology of salivary gland tumours in 73 TG.SH mice were surveyed and in total, 21.9% developed both overt and microscopic parotid tumours. The majority developed between 73 and 150 days of age. In 31.5% of the TG.SH mice, occasional unilateral, but more frequently bilateral exophthalmos due to hyperplasia of the intraorbital (Harderian) lacrimal gland was observed. In 70% of these animals, parotid tumours developed later. Since Harderian gland hyperplasia, occurring as early as 5 weeks of age, preceded the development of palpable salivary gland lesions, this stigma is useful for the early selection of animals likely to progress to tumour formation. Before tumour-bearing transgenic mice are considered to be suitable models of human neoplastic disease, morphological characterization is necessary to ensure that the tumours are histologically representative of the human lesions for which they are potential models. In this study, all parotid tumours consisted of acinar-like glandular structures with central lumina discernible by electron microscopy. Ultrastructurally, secretory granules evident in the apical cytoplasm of the tumour cells resembled the zymogen granules of the normal parotid acinar cell, and some cells had a prominent complement of rough endoplasmic reticulum. These features, along with focal amylase expression detected immunohistochemically in some parotid tumours, identified these neoplasms as acinic cell carcinomas that mimic the human salivary gland acinic cell carcinoma faithfully.

    Notizen: Summary An abnormality of blood vessels was noted in a biopsy of a renal transplant. This took the form of apparent development of a new artery inside and concentric with the old, with elastic laminae and a muscular media, separated from the old internal elastic lamina by poorly cellular tissue. In a systematic study of material from another 119 renal transplants, 13 nephrectomy specimens for chronic pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis, 28 renal biopsies showing interstitial nephritis, and 18 renal biopsies showing small vessel vasculopathy of accelerated hypertensive type, similar arterial changes were seen in another 10 renal transplants that showed chronic vascular rejection, 1 case of chronic interstitial nephritis, and 3 cases of vasculopathy, 2 with accelerated hypertension and 1 with systemic sclerosis. One renal transplant also showed apparent development of new muscular veins inside old veins. Immunohistological study for smooth muscle actin confirmed that the apparently new arterial and venous structures contained smooth muscle cells. The arterial abnormality may be called arterialisation of intrarenal arteries. This change appears to be not rare, is distinctive, and has scarcely been previously recognised or reported as a response of intrarenal blood vessels to damage.

    Notizen: Summary The glomerular peripolar cell may be a secretory component of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. To investigate this hypothesis we studied kidneys with the renin-angiotensin system activated by two different stimuli in order to compare the responses of peripolar cells and renin-secreting cells. We examined 10 human kidneys, removed for renal artery stenosis and 11 autopsy cases of Addison's disease with appropriate controls. We counted granulated peripolar cells in serial paraffin-embedded sections and renin-containing cells were quantified using an immunoperoxidase technique with an antiserum to human renin. There was a five-fold increase in the number of renin-containing cells in both renal artery stenosis and in untreated, but not in treated, Addison's disease. Peripolar cells were increased in number in three cases of renal artery stenosis, but were unaltered in both treated and untreated Addison's disease. Therefore, neither a reduction in renal perfusion pressure (renal artery stenosis), nor sodium depletion (Addison's disease) consistently affect peripolar cells in humans. These findings do not support the hypothesis that the peripolar cell is part of the juxtaglomerular apparatus.

    Notizen: Summary A one step en bloc silver staining method which was originally established to study nucleolar organizer regions has been applied for the demonstration of both paired helical filaments (PHF) and extracellular cerebral amyloids in semi-thin sections and at the electron microscopic level. The three forms of PHF can be visualized: (1) neurofibrillary tangles are shown in all stages from first appearance in form of intracellular patches of PHF to severely degenerated shadow-like “ghost” tangles; (2) neuropil threads are distinctly stained in great numbers; and (3) PHF are easily detected as neuritic components in amyloid plaques. All forms of fibrillar extracellular amyloid structures, i.e. “diffuse”, “classical” and “burnt out” plaques, are well demonstrated; congophilic angiopathy reveals amyloid preferentially in arteries and arterioles of the leptomeninges and cortex ranging from small circumscribed patches to large circumferential amounts with occasional plaque-like condensations or broad loose accumulations of amyloid; perivascular cuffs and laminar subpial deposits of amyloid are stained as well. At the electron microscopic level all lesions are clearly visible in non uranyl/lead-stained specimens, characterized by varying numbers of silver grains on a pale background. The detailed demonstration of structures in archival material, which had been stored in paraffin and re-embedded for electron microscopy, is due to the demonstration of argyrophilic structures by the protective colloidal developer of gelatin and formic acid and to the proteolytic resistance of insoluble PHF and extracellular amyloids in plaques and congophilic angiopathy.

    Notizen: Summary We report a malignant uterine paraganglioma in a 40-year-old female, who died 7 months after the initial diagnosis. On light microscopy the tumour showed a typicalzellballen pattern as well as a pronounced cellular pleomorphism. In many tumour cells hyaline globules were demonstrated within the cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically the lesion was characterized by the presence of neuron-specific enolase, protein gene product 9.5 and synaptophysin, and electron microscopically by the occurrence of neurosecretory granules.

    Notizen: Summary The growth of fetal kidney volume was studied in 290 specimens taken from 145 fresh human fetuses (85 males and 60 females) with gestational age ranging from 13 to 36 weeks postconception (WPC). Normative equations and curves of the growth of renal volume were obtained for male and female fetuses and for the whole sample in the second trimester (13–24 WPC) and in the third trimester (25–36 WPC) of gestation. There was no difference between the growth in volume of the right and left kidneys. Fetal kidney volume increases with a more intense rhythm in the early fetal period (13–24 WPC). During the second trimester, there was no difference between the values for renal volume of male and female fetuses. In the third trimester, male fetuses had renal volumes significantly greater than the female fetuses. The normative parameters of renal volume could have practical applications in detection and monitoring of renal anomalies in fetal and perinatal urology.

    Notizen: Summary Histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural sural nerve and skin biopsy findings in a case of cryoglobulinemia secondary to an IgM-kappa-producing non-Hodgkin lymphoma are described. The main finding was an occlusive microangiopathy present in both the sural nerve and the skin. Widespread cryoglobulin deposits of the proliferated vasa nervorum were associated with pronounced changes probably evoked by ischemia. Moderate perivascular inflammation, but no florid vasculitis was additionally present. Our observations indicate that occlusive microangiopathy by precipitated cryoglobulins may be a relevant pathogenetic factor in cryoglobulinemic peripheral neuropathy.

    Notizen: Summary Degeneration of heterogeneous systems in the central nervous system, with widespread distribution of argyrophilic neuronal fibrillary inclusions, was found in a patient with presenile dementia. Atrophy was circumscribed in the frontal and temporal lobes. Neuronal loss was severe in the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra. Immunocytochemical study using anti-phosphorylated tau and anti-ubiquitin antibodies in conjunction with ultrastructural observations revealed two types of inclusions: neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) in the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, locus coeruleus, cerebellar dentate nucleus, inferior olivary nucleus, and posterior horn of the spinal cord; and Pick bodies (PBs) in the atrophied cerebral cortex and red nucleus. PSP-type NFTs and PBs have been demonstrated in a single case for the first time. Despite their pathognomonic significance in certain disorders, we suggest that these inclusions may reflect a form of cytoskeletal disorganization, which is not entirely restricted to a single disease entity.

    Notizen: Summary Immunoreactivity for nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) was examined using a monoclonal antibody against human NGFR in the sural nerve of a 24-year-old woman, affected by localized hypertrophic neuropathy (LHN). NGFR expression was correlated with electron microscopy and with immunoreactivity for S-100 protein, laminin, HLA-DR, HNK-1, P0 glycoprotein and neurofilament peptides. Our results indicate that in LHN most of whorl-forming cells are NGFR positive and S-100 protein or HLA-DR negative. These data along with the ultrastructural features suggest their origin from perineurium.

    Notizen: Summary Acetylcholine and its receptors are involved in a variety of important signal transduction processes. As shown here paradigmatically for the human neuromuscular junction and the cerebral cortex, acetylcholine receptors can be visualized immunohistochemically at the cellular and subcellular level under physiological and pathological conditions. At normal motor endplates nicotinic cholinoceptors are localized at the surface of the postsynaptic junctional folds. In myasthenic syndromes investigation of muscle biopsies enables the diagnosis of receptor deficiencies at the ultrastructural level. In normal cerebral cortex pyramidal neurons are equipped with both nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors localized to postsynaptic densities. In neuropsychiatric diseases cholinoceptor expression can be monitored at the cellular level by quantititative assessment of immunolabeled cortical neurons.

    Notizen: Summary We examined the synaptic organization of ascending projections from the pars ventralis of the dorsal tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TDV) and the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus to the lateral mammillary nucleus (LM). The LM neuropil consists of terminals containing pleomorphic synaptic vesicles and forming symmetric synaptic contact, and terminals containing round synaptic vesicles and forming asymmetric synaptic contact. They make up 63% and 37%, respectively, of all axodendritic terminals. All axosomatic terminals contain pleomorphic vesicles and make symmetric contact. Following injection of WGA-HRP into the TDV, many anterogradely labeled terminals and retrogradely labeled cells are found in the LM. Labeled terminals contact mainly proximal (more than 2 μm diameter) and intermediate (1–2 μm diameter) dendrites. Serial ultrathin sections of the LM show that 55% of axosomatic terminals are labeled anterogradely. Following injection of WGA-HRP into the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, many anterogradely labeled terminals are found in the LM, but no retrogradely labeled cells are present. Labeled terminals contact mainly distal (less than 1 μm diameter) and intermediate dendrites as well as somata. In the LM neurons, 46% of axosomatic terminals are labeled anterogradely. All labeled terminals from these nuclei contain pleomorphic vesicles and make symmetric synaptic contact. These results indicate that almost all axosomatic terminals come from the TDV and the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, which send inhibitory inputs to the lateral mammillary nucleus.

AV were composed of sequestrated cytoplasmic areas containing ribosomes and occasionally mitochondria and small secondary vacuoles. The formation of AV may contribute to neuronal degeneration and ultimately to neuronal loss.

    Notizen: Summary A 54-year-old man who had cerebellar ataxia and pseudobulbar palsy at the age of 29 years, and soon developed dementia, myoclonus and convulsions, died after about 20 years in a vegetative state. Histological examination of the extensively atrophic and devastated brain (680 g) revealed the almost total loss of cerebral cortical neurons associated with numerous β-protein amyloid plaques, many extracellular tangles and a large number of hypertrophic astrocytes, and prominent amyloid angiopathy. The astrocytes were frequently immunopositive for anti-human tau antibody (anti-htau) and anti-ubiquitin antibody (anti-ubi). Double immunostaining with anti-htau and anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody clearly demonstrated htau-positive domains within the GFAP-positive perikarya/and processes of several astrocytes. Electron microscopy of the hippocampal CA1, which was completely devoid of pyramidal neurons, revealed, in astrocytes, abnormal filaments indistinguishable from the paired helical filaments (PHFs) seen in neurons. On immunoelectron microscopy, the filaments were observed to be labeled with anti-htau and anti-ubi, exhibiting the same immunohistochemical features as neuronal PHFs. This is the first demonstration of clearly constricted and both tau- and ubiquitin-positive PHFs in astrocytes, indicating that, in some special conditions like in our case, processes similar to those that attack neurons also affect astrocytes and ultimately make the latter form PHFs.

    Notizen: Summary The structure and arrangement of the retinal photoreceptors of the velvet cichlid fish (Astronotus ocellatus) have been studied by light and electron microscopy. Rods, single cones and double (twin) cones are present. In the light-adapted state, rods are very tall cells that reach deep into the retinal epithelial (RPE) layer. The long outer segment is composed of discs of uniform diameter displaying one or two incisures. The rod inner segment shows a distal ellipsoid of mitochondria, and then narrows dramatically in the myoid region. Rod nuclei are electron dense and located deep in the outer nuclear layer. Rod synaptic spherules are small and show two to three invaginated synaptic sites as well as superficial synapses. Single cones are similar to the individual members of a double cone and all display a short tapering outer segment, a large ellipsoid of mitochondria and a myoid rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum, polysomes, Golgi zones and autophagic vacuoles. Double cones have extensive subsurface cisternae along their entire contiguous surfaces. Cone nuclei are large and vesicular and located close to or through the external limiting membrane. The synaptic pedicles of cones are larger, more electron lucent, and display more invaginated (ribbon) synapses as well as conventional (superficial) synaptic sites than do the rod spherules. Rod photoreceptors certainly undergo retinomotor movements and it is probable that cones do as well. In the light-adapted state the cone photoreceptors are arranged in a repeating square mosaic pattern with one single cone surrounded by four double (twin) cones.

    Notizen: Summary The morphological effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the distribution of endothelin-binding sites on the kidney and lung was investigated ultrastructually by intravenous injection of [125I]-ET-1 into rats. About 10% decrease of the diameter of glomeruli was observed at 10 min after the injections of ET-1 or [125I]-ET-1 (1.3–2.4 nmole/kg). When localization of [125I]-ET-1 in the kidney was examined by light and electron microscopic radioautography, silver grains were preferably localized on the fenestrated endothelial cells of glomeruli and peritubular capillary endothelial cells. Some grains were also localized on the interdigitating processes of urinary tubules. Quantitative analysis of silver grains in the glomeruli showed that 83% of grains were located on the fenestrated endothelial cells, 12% on the podocytes of visceral cells, and 5% on mesangial cells at 10 min. After 60 min, 50% of silver grains were incorporated into the cytoplasm of fenestrated endothelial cells. In contrast to glomeruli, silver grains were rare on the arteries and large arterioles. However, a few silver grains were often observed on the smooth muscle cells of small arterioles (8–20 μm in diameter). In the lung, 70% of silver grains were located on the alveolar capillary endothelial cells. These results indicate the abundance of ET receptors on the glomerular fenestrated endothelium, peritubular fenestrated endothelium and alveolar capillary endothelium.

    Notizen: Summary This study documents the ultrastructural features of acute neuronal injury following N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation. NMDA (100 nmol/μl) or vehicle was infused over a 15-min period into the lateral ventricle of adult rats. After perfusion fixation, specimens demonstrating normal and abnormal patterns of vascular permeability to horserdish peroxidase were sampled for ultrastructural analysis. In NMDA-infused rats, brain regions exhibiting protein extravasation contained swollen dendritic profiles and abnormal neuronal perikarya. Although periventricular regions were most severely affected, parenchymal abnormalities were also detected in the cerebral cortex, septum, striatum, thalamus, hypothalamus and cerebellum. Mildly affected dendrites contained dark compact mitochondria, while in severely swollen dendrites mitochrondia were enlarged with ruptured cristae. Focal sites of plasma membrane disruption were also detected within swollen dendrites. Swollen neurons commonly displayed peripheral pallor and increased numbers of cytoplasmic vacuoles. Other neurons appeared dark and shrunken, some containing disrupted mitochrondria and pyknotic nuclei. Pretreatment with the NMDA antagonist MK-801 (2 mg/kg) attenuated the neuronal and dendritic alterations. In conditions where cerebrospinal fluid levels of glutamate are abnormally elevated, excessive NMDA receptor activation may lead to early vascular and neuronal complications which could work in concert to promote brain injury.

    Notizen: Summary The purpose of this study was to document the early cerebrovascular consequences of excessive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation. Five microliters of NMDA (100 nmol/μl) or vehicle was infused over a 15-min period into the lateral ventricle of adult rats. The protein tracer horseradisch peroxidase (HRP) was injected intravenously for blood-brain bartier (BBB) studies. The intraventricular infusion of vehicle (n=5) caused no alterations in arterial blood pressure or microvascular damage away from the intraventicular probe tract. In contrast, NMDA infusion (n=8) led to a gradual increase in arterial blood pressure (mean 36 mm Hg). Multifocal regions of HRP extravasation were observed bilaterally throughout the neuraxis following NMDA infusion. Sites of BBB disruption and hemorrhage included brain regions bordering ventricular spaces. In addition, isolated foci of protein extravasation were commonly detected in the cerebral cortex, thalamus, basal forebrain, septum and cerebellum. Pretreatment with the noncompetitive NMDA antagonist MK-801 (2 mg/kg) substantially reduced the BBB responses to NMDA. However, microvascular abnormalities were seen in NMDA-infused rats where blood pressure elevations were inhibited by blood removal. In addition to neurons, cerebral blood vessels are also acutely affected by NMDA receptor activation. Blockage of NMDA receptor channels following brain injury may potentially provide protection by attenuating BBB breakdown and subsequent brain edema.

    Notizen: Summary In the avian kidney three nephron types may be identified: mammalian-type nephrons with long (MTN-I) and short (MTN-II) loops of Henlé, and reptilian-type nephrons (RTN). By the method of microdissection the maturation of the nephrons of domestic fowl kidney has been studied. From the 14th day of incubation it is possible to isolate the MTN-I which appear first; all three nephron types may be isolated after 18 days of incubation. The thin limb of Henlé's loop in MTN-I appears after hatching, and the length of this segment in 1-day-old chicks is 0.1–0.13 mm. In 60-day-old chicks its length has approximately doubled. The transition of the thin segment to the thick segment is situated in the descending part of Henlé's loop. In the course of development, the relative length of all nephron segments in MTN-I increases uniformly, while in MTN-II and in RTN the relative length of the proximal and distal convoluted tubules increases. At all stages of development, MTN-I are the longest among the three groups of nephrons and have the largest glomeruli. The comparison between developing avian and mammalian kidneys shows great similarities in the process of maturation in analogous nephron types in these two classes of vertebrates.

    Notizen: Summary We measured the total content of iron, cooper, zinc and manganese in the putamen of four patients with striatonigral degeneration (SND) and age-and gender-matched normal controls. The iron content in the SND patients was five times greater than in the controls. Electron microscopic histochemistry revealed the iron reaction products in the pigments showing a triphasic pattern of coarse, electron-dense globules, fine granular and fibrillary materials, and lamellated structures. These findings suggest that increased iron deposition may be related to pigment formation in the putament of SND.

    Notizen: Summary A case of cerebral granular cell tumor (GCT) is reported. Histologically, the growth was composed of benign astrocytes, granular cells and transitional forms between both elements. Glial fibrillary acidic protein was detected in the glial component and, to a lesser extent, in the granular cells. Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin was demonstrated in the latter component only. Ultrastructural study also supported the evidence that neoplastic astrocytes became granular cells. The survey of the literature and our own results suggest that GCTs in this particular location, even when histologically benign, seem to have a worse prognosis than the low-grade supratentorial astrocytomas.

    Notizen: Summary The morphology of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), choriocapillaris and Bruch's membrane (complexus basalis) have been studied by light and electron microscopy in the velvet cichlid (Astronotus ocellatus). The RPE is composed of a single layer of large columnar cells. The basal (scleral) border of these cells is minimally infolded, whereas the apical (vitreal) surface displays numerous pigment-laden processes which in light-adaptation surround both rod and cone outer segments. Laterally the RPE cells are joined by a series of basally located tight junctions. Wandering phagocytes are a constant feature within this epithelial membrane. The RPE cells display a large, vesicular nucleus, numerous mitochondria, much smooth endoplasmic reticulum, polysomes, myeloid bodies, phagosomes and melanosomes. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is relatively scarce within these cells. Although only light-adapted specimens were examined, it is thought that the melanosomes are capable of extensive retinomotor movement. The endothelium of the choriocapillaris facing Bruch's membrane is typically very thin but shows few fenestrations. Bruch's membrane is typical of other teleost species in that it is composed of only three layers.

    Notizen: Summary The structure of the intracellular actin filaments and the extracellular matrices was studied in the distal interlobular arteries in the rat kidney, employing three different morphological techniques, including rhodamin-phalloidin staining of cryosections, resorcin-fuchsin staining of paraffin sections, and a cold dehydration procedure for electron microscopy. The endothelial cells possess longitudinally running stress fibers. The inner elastic layer is composed of meshworks of elastic fibers encompassing numerous pores. The smooth muscle cells containing abundant actin filaments are arranged circumferentially around the vascular axis. The endothelial stress fibers are found mainly in the basal half of the endothelial cells, and anchor onto the basal cell membranes. The elastic meshworks send off longitudinal branch fibers to contact the endothelial cell membranes at the anchoring sites of stress fibers. In addition circumferential branches run toward the smooth muscle cells. The functional significance of the intracellular contractile apparatus and the extracellular tensile component in small arteries was discussed.

    Notizen: Summary Systematic examination using electron microscopic montages and serial sections has demonstrated that three types of interstitial cell, namely gap junction-rich cells, glycogen-rich cells and fibroblast-like cells, are densely located along the whole extent of the deep muscular plexus of the guinea pig small intestine. They tend to be distributed in an alternating fashion in the cellular network, connected with muscle cells of the outer, circular layer by means of gap junctions. These three types of interstitial cell show close relations to two types of nerve varicosity: one type is characterized by clear round vesicles with diameters of about 50 nm, and the other by flattened vesicles measuring about 35 nm by 70 nm. Electron-dense patches have been observed at the cytoplasmic side of the axonal membranes. Muscle cells of both inner and outer circular layers also show close relations to these two types of nerve varicosity. These morphological features are discussed with the implication that they may have some regulatory role in intestinal movement.

    Notizen: Summary The effects of cepharanthine and minoxidil on proliferation, differentiation and keratinization of cultured cells from the murine hair apparatus were examined electron microscopically. Both cepharanthine and minoxidil stimulated cell proliferation and delayed initiation of differentiation and keratinization of the cultured cells. On day 6, most control cells (87%) cultured in a 0.03 mM calcium medium without cepharanthine and minoxidil were differentiated into several subpopulations corresponding to those of in vivo cell layers of the hair apparatus, while most of the cells cultured with cepharanthine (71%) or minoxidil (70%) were still immature. On day 13, the number of degenerated cells increased (63%) in the control culture, whereas in the culture treated with cepharanthine or minoxidil, cell degeneration scarcely occurred (5% and 8%, respectively). Differentiated cells having tonofilaments were often observed in the cepharanthine- and minoxidil-treated cultures (76% and 72%, respectively). Elevation of extracellular calcium up to 1.0 mM induced keratinization (34%) in the control culture on day 6, while no keratinized cells were observed in the cepharanthine- or minoxidil-treated culture. On day 13 keratinization similarly occurred in the cultures with cepharanthine (30%) or minoxidil (48%). These results show that both cepharanthine and minoxidil may directly influence proliferation, differentiation and keratinization of cultured cells from the hair apparatus.

Actin microfilaments were localized by applyinga postembedding immunogold technique using the monoclonal anti-actin antibody HHF35. Actin microfilaments are part of the cytoskeleton in muscle and nonmuscle cells. Together with myosin they produce contraction. The antibody labelled myofilaments in smooth muscle arrector pili cells, myoepithelial cells and pericytes. In sweat gland cells the microvilli system, a zone beneath the cytoplasma membrane correponding to the adhesion belt region, and apocrine decapitation formations showed labelling.

    Transient increase in renal insulin-like growth factor binding proteins during initial kidney hypertrophy in experimental diabetes in rats (1992)

    Notizen: Summary The insulin-like growth factors, insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor II are bound to six distinct classes of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the circulation and in extracellular fluids. Diabetic renal hypertrophy is preceded by a transient increase in kidney insulin-like growth factor I suggestive of a renotropic function for insulin-like growth factor I. In order to examine a possible involvement of IGFBPs in initial diabetic kidney growth and in kidney insulin-like growth factor I accumulation, we studied rat kidney IGFBPs by ligand blotting during the first 4 days after induction of diabetes. Six distinct bands were identified in kidney and liver tissue with apparent molecular weight values of 38–47 (doublet), 34, 30, 24 and 20 kDa. The 38–47 kDa doublet band probably corresponds to the insulin-like growth factor binding subunit of IGFBP-3, the 24 kDa band to IGFBP4 and the 30 kDa band to IGFBP-1 and/or IGFBP-2, as these IGFBPs in rats have similar molecular weight. In untreated diabetic rats a transient increase in the kidney 30 kDa band was demonstrable 24 h after induction of diabetes with a maximal rise (two-fold) after 48 h, followed by a decrease to baseline values after 4 days. In untreated diabetic rats the 38–47 kDa doublet band also increased (two-fold) in kidney during the first 2 days after induction of diabetes, followed by a subsequent decrease. Insulin-treatment prevented both the increase in the 30 kDa and in the 38–47 kDa bands. Kidney weight in untreated diabetic rats increased by 26 % after 4 days. In conclusion, the present study shows a transient increase in the 30 kDa and the 38–47 kDa IGFBP species in hypertrophying diabetic kidneys, contemporarily with the previously described transient increase in extractable kidney insulin-like growth factor I content. These findings support the concept that IGFBPs may be involved in the action of insulin-like growth factor I and possibly in the diabetic kidney insulin-like growth factor I accumulation.

    Notizen: Summary A subcellular fraction enriched in cytochrome c reductase (7.9-fold) and relatively de-enriched (0.64-fold) in Na+/K+-ATPase was prepared from canine kidney cortex by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. It was shown by electron microscopy to consist primarily of a light fraction of endoplasmic reticulum (LER). LER vesicles displayed ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake that was insensitive to 10 mM KCN or NaN3, and was promptly released by 20 μM A23187 or ionomycin. Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) appeared to produce a time-dependent release of 45Ca2+. Vanadate inhibited 45Ca2+ uptake with a Ki≈0.3 mM, further suggesting that the activity resided in the ER rather than the plasma membrane. 45Ca2+ uptake by LER, at 5 μM total [Ca2+], displayed a strong dependence on divalent cations (Mg2+〉Co2+〉Mn2+≫Ba2+≥Cd2+≥Sr2+, present at 2 mM) as well as on monovalent cations (Na+≥K++Na+ 〉K+〉Li+〉choline+), and anions (Cl-〉acetate-≥NO3 -≥F-〉H2PO4 -≫gluconate-≥oxalate=≫SO4 =). It had a fairly narrow pH optimum (7.25–7.50). Preincubation (10 min) of LER vesicles with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) stimulated LER Ca2+ uptake; this effect was enhanced in the presence of renal cytosol [5% (vol/vol)]. However, Ca2+ uptake was not affected by preincubation with dibutyryl cyclic AMP, calmodulin, or 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3, either in the absence or presence of renal cytosol. Thus, the Mg2+-ATP dependent 45Ca2+ uptake activity of this canine renal cortical LER fraction displays modulation by IP3, TPA, and pH that appears to be physiologically relevant.

    Notizen: Abstract Objective The purpose of the study was do describe the architecture of accretions occurring on the tips of central venous catheters (CVC). Design A conservative procedure was used followed by two different techniques of electron microscopy Setting and patients the study included 19 catheters which have been used on intensive cared adults, and which were chosen among those of parallel 300 CVC study. Measurements and results CVC were considered sterile, contaminated, colonized or infected according to microbiological and clinical criteria. CVC were found to remain much cleaner than in past clescriptions. When present, accretions were located on the olive-shaped end, and displayed stratified structures with three types of material: amorphous material, thrombus components and inflammatory cells. Bacteria were not seen, even on culture positive CVC. Candida albicans was found on one CVC in the cytoplasm of ganulocytes, and made xio direct contact with the plastic surface. Conclusion This technique should contribute to the understanding of the pathobiology of CVC infection and provide information proving or precluding the involvement of microbial adherence to polymers in vivo.

    Calcium binding protein (calbindin D28k) immunoreactivity in the hamster superior colliculus: ultrastructure and lack of co-localization with GABA (1992)

    Notizen: Summary The expression of specific calcium binding proteins is being used increasingly as a potential neuroanatomical marker for neurons with similar functions. In this study, the distribution of calbindin D28k in the superior colliculus (SC) of adult hamsters was examined by light and electron microscopy. Calbindin immunoreactivity was prominent in specific regions and laminae of the SC throughout its rostrocaudal extent, and was found to label horizontal, vertical and stellate cell types. In addition, calbindin label highlighted “bridges” of neuronal processes in the intermediate layers. The most frequent calbindin-immunoreactive profiles seen in the electron microscope were dendrites, some of which were post-synaptic to apparent retinal ganglion cell axon terminals. Labelled axons and axon terminals were less frequently encountered. There was considerable overlap between the size distribution of calbindin D28k-immunoreactive neurons and that of GABA-immunoreactive or Nissl stained neurons in the SC. However, using a double fluorescent labelling technique, and examination of the tissue with confocal laser microscopy, no neurons were observed in the hamster SC that showed immunoreactivity for both calbindin and GABA. In this regard, the SC is similar to the mammalian lateral geniculate nucleus and the pretectum, but differs from the neocortex, where calbindin and GABA are colocalized. The demonstration in the SC, as well as other parts of the nervous system, of sub-populations of neurons that contain distinct calcium-binding proteins suggests that these neurons have different functional properties. Correlative studies may clarify the relevance of these cytoplasmic components as cell markers, as well as their different patterns of association with neurotransmitters and peptides.

    Notizen: Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerance of Gd-DOTA (DOTAREM) in non-dialysed patients with chronic renal failure. Eight patients with chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance between 10 and 60 ml/min) and four healthy volunteers were given i.v. Gd-DOTA (0.1 mmol/kg). Blood and urine samples were collected. Gd-DOTA tolerance was also studied (vital signs, biological parameters, adverse reactions). In healthy volunteers, Gd-DOTA was rapidly distributed in the extracellular space and almost totally eliminated in the urine (glomerular filtration, 93.3±4.7% of the dose 24 h post injection). In patients with chronic renal failure, a delayed and almost total urinary elimination observed with a correlation between Gd-DOTA clearance and plasma creatinine clearance (r = 0.964). Tolerance was good with no significant modification of renal function or other parameters. These results confirm previous studies and indicates that DOTAREM can be used safely for patients with chronic renal failure.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Abstract High-pressure freezing of chemically untreated nodules of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), in sharp contrast to chemical fixation and prefixation, appears to preserve the ultrastructure close to the native state. This is supported by the observation that the peribacteroid membrane of high-pressure-frozen samples is tightly wrapped around the bacteroids, a finding that is fully consistent with the current views on the physiology of oxygen and metabolite transport between plant cytosol and bacteroids. In soybean root nodules, the plant tissue and the enclosed bacteria are so dissimilar that conventional aldehyde-fixation procedures are unable to preserve the overall native ultrastructure. This was demonstrated by high-pressure freezing of nodules that had been pre-fixed in glutaraldehyde at various buffer molalities: no buffer strength tested preserved all ultrastructural aspects that could be seen after high-pressure freezing of chemically untreated nodules.

    Notizen: Abstract There is far-reaching consent in the literature that public and consensual agreements on the basics of the different aspects of medical ethics are inalienable before the instigation of any innovative transplant procedure. In the case of a certain method and/or of an individual patient, however, the ultimate ethical evaluation can most likely never be entirely complete before this application. Ethical evaluation depends on the actual criteria used, the present knowledge regarding the risk-benefit-balance as well as on the ethical evaluation of the patient's and his family's own feelings and expectations which are not entirely conscious. In relation to the so-called “fundamental and constant ethical guidelines” and under a psychological perspective potential, ethical conflict constellations are presented which have to be dealt with in the process of ethical and psychological evaluation before living organ transplantation.

    Notizen: Abstract The toxic effects of bis (tributyltin) oxide (TBTO) on the rat liver were studied with an electron microscope and the accumulation sites of tin were determined with an X-ray microanalyzer. The activities of serum enzymes and the concentration of serum bilirubin were also analyzed. Male Wistar rats received an intramuscular injection of 0.5 ml/kg of TBTO. Marked swelling of the mitochondria appeared in the hepatocytes 4 h after injection of TBTO. Cytoplasmic vacuoles, which contained degenerated mitochondria, gradually increased in number in these hepatocytes. This in turn may have caused a decrease in the volume of hepatic cell cords and an enlargement of sinusoids in the entire hepatic lobule. However, fine structures of intrahepatic bile ducts were not altered. By X-ray microanalysis, tin peaks were preferentially obtained from swollen mitochondria of the hepatocytes. By polarographic analysis of the respiratory responses of mitochondria, it was demonstrated that rates of state 4 respiration and respiratory control ratio were significantly disturbed in TBTO-treated rats in comparison with those of controls. The activities of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) were significantly increased after TBTO treatment, but those of ALP (alkaline phosphatase), LAP (leucine aminopeptidase) and total bilirubin were not changed. These results indicated that parenterally administered TBTO accumulated in the liver cell mitochondria and disturbed oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial dysfunction might induce severe damage of the hepatocytes. Four days after injection of TBTO, hepatic structures and chemical indices were almost restored by the regeneration of hepatocytes.

    Notizen: Abstract Cell proliferation in the kidneys and livers of rats and mice exposed short-term to p-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) was evaluated by immunohistochemical measurement of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation into nuclei of DNA-synthesizing cells. p-DCB was given by gavage at two doses up to 600 mg/kg body weight for 4 days. The cumulative fraction of proliferating cells was increased in the proximal tubule epithelial cells of male rats at the high dose, but not at the low dose nor in females at either dose using gamma-glutamyl transferase reaction to identify tubular cells. Also, no increase in cell proliferation was found in mouse kidneys. The fractions of proliferating cells in the livers of rats and mice of both sexes were also increased. The increased cell proliferation in only male rat kidney and in the livers of mice of both sexes correlates with the reported carcinogenic effects of p-DCB in those tissues. However, the finding that p-DCB also induced cell proliferation in the livers of rats of both sexes, which were not a site of p-DCB-induced tumors in bioassays, and in female mice at the low dose, which was not affected by an increase in tumors, reveals a lack of concordance and indicates that acute induction of cell proliferation is not sufficient to lead to carcinogenesis.

    Notizen: Abstract Renal transplantation is widely accepted as the treatment of choice for endstage renal failure in childhood. Since dialysis is regularly applied to infants with renal failure, the question logically arises, can infants also receive renal transplants and what are the outcomes? A review of the literature and the clinical experience at the University of Minnesota supports the performance of renal transplantation in infancy. Present patient and graft survival rates for infants are indistinguishable from those of older children. While living adult donors are preferred, adult cadaveric kidneys have also been successfully transplanted. Following successful transplantation, the infants have generally enjoyed “catch-up” growth and accelerated psychomotor development. While there may be problems related to fluid and electrolyte balance in these smallest patients, the majority of the problems encountered mirror those seen in any child undergoing transplantation. Renal transplantation is regularly successful in infancy and should be considered an integral component of the therapy for any child with chronic renal failure.

    Notizen: Abstract Expression of cloned gene E of bacteriophage PhiX174 induces lysis by formation of a transmembrane tunnel structure in the cell envelope of Escherichia coli. Ultrastructural studies of the location of the lysis tunnel indicate that it is preferentially located at the septum or at polar regions of the cell. Furthermore, the diameter and shape of individual tunnel structures vary greatly indicating that its structure is not rigid. Apparently, the contours of individual lysis tunnels are determined by enlarged meshes in the peptidoglycan net and the force produced at its orifice, by the outflow of cytoplasmic content. Once the tunnel is formed the driving force for the lysis process is the osmotic pressure difference between cytoplasm and medium. During the lysis process areas of the cytoplasmic membrane which are not tightly attached to the envelope are extended inward by the negative pressure produced during lysis. After cell lysis external medium can diffuse through the lysis tunnel filling the inner cell space of the still rigid bacterial ghosts.

    Notizen: Abstract Thirty-five paraffin-embedded medulloblastomas (19 from children and 16 from adults; 24 classic medulloblastomas, 10 desmoplastic medulloblastomas, 1 tumor with neuronal differentiation) were examined for reactions with antibodies against glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), cytokeratins KL1 and MNF116, desmin, and vimentin. Only the tumor from the youngest patient, a 152-day-old boy, showed a positive immunoreaction for cytokeratins. Because of this age-related expression of cytokeratins in medulloblastomas primarily in very young children, cytokeratin positivity was interpreted as a sign of tumor immaturity. Five medulloblastomas showed scattered GFAP-positive reactive astrocytes and/or other positive, probably neoplastic, cells. Only two tumors showed GFAP immunoreactivity in unequivocally neoplastic cells. Of six tumors that reacted with vimentin, three showed strong reactivity throughout, one being the tumor from the 152-day-old boy. The remaining three demonstrated nests of vimentin-positive cells with weak or intense somatic immunoreactivity for vimentin. None of the 35 cases showed positivity for desmin, indicating that mesenchymal differentiation is restricted to the rare so-called medullomyoblastomas.

    Notizen: Abstract The coupled transport of Na+ with taurine into snake renal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) was studied using 5-s uptake conditions. Taurine transport into snake renal BBMV involved two parallel processes, one saturable (Na+-dependent) and one (Na+-independent) that behaved like passive diffusion. Below 1 mM taurine concentration, the Na+-dependent system accounted for 60% of total taurine uptake. Over both low (0.001–0.80 mM) and high (0.8–5.0 mM) taurine concentration ranges, the Na+-dependent taurine uptake within each range showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, suggesting the presence of two independent saturable Na+-dependent transport systems for taurine. The high-affinity, low-capacity system saturated above 100 μM with a K m of 71.4±45.7 μM and a maximum velocity (V max) of 21.9±3.77 pmol (mg protein)−1 (5 s)−1. The low-affinity, high-capacity system saturated above 1 mM, with a K m of 1.11±0.63 mM and a V max of 252±47 pmol (mg protein)−1 (5 s)−1. The stoichiometric relationship between external Na+ concentration and taurine uptake (at 10 μM) by the high-affinity BBMV transport system was examined by the activation method under short-circuited conditions. The 5-s rate of taurine transport was a sigmoid function of increasing extravesicular Na+ concentration. Kinetic analysis of the interaction of Na+ with the high-affinity taurine transport system suggested that 3 Na+ ions (3.2±0.7) may be involved with 1 taurine molecule in the transport event. The data suggest the presence of a highly efficient and high-affinity reabsorptive taurine transport system on the luminal membrane of the kidney of the garter snake, a species that can secrete taurine in vivo.

    Notizen: Abstract Human transferrin receptor was isolated from Triton X-100 solubilized placental plasma membranes by a rapid one-step chromatographic procedure based on immunoadsorption of the receptortransferrin complex on anti-transferrin Sepharose and lectin-affinity on wheat germ agglutinin. Following exchange of Triton X-100 with CHAPS or n-octylglucoside, the purified receptor was incorporated into egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes upon, detergent removal by dialysis (lipid/protein ratio 15:1 to 45:1 (w/w) Reconstitution of the receptor was confirmed by trypsin cleavage to dissociate the large extracellular receptor domain from the liposomal membranes. Electron micrographs of the receptor-lipid recombinants negatively stained with sodium sillicotungstate, showed ographs of the receptor-lipid recombinants negatively stained with sodium sillicotungstate, showed that the receptor molecules distributed very inhomogeneously on the liposomes, most receptors being clustered. Single copies of the receptor were seen as elongate structures (5×10 nm) oriented with their long axis parallel to the liposome surface and separated from this by a 2–3 nm gap. This result provides evidence for a narrow connecting link between the globular extracellular receptor domain and the membrane spanning segment.

    Notizen: Abstract Exo- and endocytotic processes induced by depolarization of isolated neurosecretory nerve terminals show a close temporal correlation, which suggests a short time of integration of the neurosecretory granule membrane with the plasma membrane. In order to determine minimal time requirements for exocytosis-coupled endocytosis to occur, we have analyzed by electron microscopy uptake of horserdish peroxidase (HRP) as a fluid phase marker at the onset of depolarization. We have applied rapid mixing and sampling (quenched flow) to assess events in subsecond time peroids after stimulation. A significant number of labelled endocytotic vacuoles was observed during the first second of depolarization. This number then further increased by a factor of about 2 (within 5 s) and 4 (within 50s). Thus, as for exocytosis, the rate of endocytosis decreased considerably during prolonged stimulation. These data indicate i) that a substantial proportion of secretory granules undergoes exocytosis very shortly after stimulation, and ii) that, following exocytosis, the minimal time required for consecutive membrane retrieval is in the sub-second range.

    Effect of haloperidol and clozapine on the density of “perforated” synapses in caudate, nucleus accumbens, and medial prefrontal cortex (1992)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Abstract Perforated synapses, which contain a discontinuous density along the postsynaptic membrane, can increase or decrease in numbers following various behavioral and biochemical manipulations. We have previously established that 14-day treatment with haloperidol causes an increase in the number of perforated synapses within the caudate nucleus (dorsolateral region) but not the nucleus accumbens (Meshul and Casey 1989). This effect was reversed if the animals were withdrawn from the drug for an equivalent period of time. We have now further examined the effects of haloperidol administration, which is associated with a high incidence of extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) and tardive dyskinesia (TD), and assessed the effects of clozapine, which appears to have a lower potential for inducing EPS and TD. Administration of haloperidol for 2 weeks significantly increased the percentage of perforated synapses in the caudate, but not in the nucleus accumbens or layer VI of medial prefrontal cortex (MPCx). There was an increase in specific [125I]epidepride binding to D-2 receptors in the caudate nucleus and MPCx following haloperidol. Administration of clozapine for 2 weeks did not affect the percentage of perforated synapses in any of the three dopamine (DA)-rich regions that were examined. There was an increase in specific [3H]SCH 23390 binding to D-1 receptors and in specific [125I]epidepride binding to D-2 receptors only within MPCx following clozapine. The absence of any change in the density of perforated synapses within the dorsolateral caudate nucleus following clozapine correlates with: 1) the lack of effect on specific DA receptor binding or down regulation of serotonin (5-HT2) receptors (as reported by others), or 2) the inability in clozapine-treated animals to depolarize block substantia nigra (A9) DA neurons. These results may be related to the low incidence of EPS and TD observed with clozapine.

    Notizen: Summary The structure of a simple chordotonal organ, the presumed homologue of the noctuoid moth tympanal organ, is described in the atympanate moth, Actias luna. The organ consists of a proximal scolopidial region and a distal strand, which attaches peripherally to the membranous cuticle ventral to the hindwing alula. The strand is composed of elongate, microtubule-rich cells encased in an extracellular connective tissue sheath. The scolopidial region houses three mononematic, monodynal scolopidia, each comprised of a sensory cell, scolopale cell, and attachment cell. The dendritic apex is octagonally shaped in transverse section, its inner membrane lined by a laminated structure reminiscent of the noctuoid tympanal organ ‘collar’. A 9+0-type cilium emerges from the dendritic apex, passes through both the scolopale lumen and cap, and terminates in an extracellular space distal to the latter. Proximal extensions of the attachment cell and distal prolongations of the scolopale cell surrounding the cap are joined by an elaborate desmosome, with which is associated an extensive electron-dense fibrillar plaque. Within the scolopale cell, this plaque constitutes the scolopale ‘rod’ material. The data are discussed in terms of both the organ's potential function, and its significance as the evolutionary proto-type of the noctuoid moth ear.

    Notizen: Summary Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunocytochemistry was utilized to quantify dopaminergic synapses in the inner plexiform layer of the retina of Bufo marinus. Since dopaminergic cells have bistratified dendritic arborisation in the inner plexiform layer, attention was given to the segregation of synapses between the scleral and the vitreal sublaminae. Light-microscopically, a more elaborate dendritic branching was observed in the scleral than in the vitreal sublamina. In contrast, about 55% of synapses occurred in the vitreal one fifth of the inner plexiform layer, 30% in the scleral fifth, and 15% in the intermediate laminae. Input sources and output targets showed only minor quantitative differences between sublaminae 1 and 5. TH-immunoreactive processes were found in presynaptic (62.8%) and postsynaptic (37.2%) positions. Synapses to the stained dendrites derived from bipolar (40.4%) and amacrine (59.6%) cells, whereas outputs from the TH-positive processes were directed to amacrine cells (56.8%) and to small and medium-sized dendrites (35.4%); at least some of these can be considered as ganglion cell dendrites. TH-positive profiles neither formed synapses with each other nor were presynaptic to bipolar cell terminals. Junctional appositions of the immunoreactive profiles were occasionally seen on non-stained amacrine and ganglion cell dendrites in the scleral sublamina of the inner plexiform layer and on optic axons in the optic fibre layer. Although dopaminergic cells are mainly involved in amacrine-amacrine interactions, inputs from bipolar terminals and outputs to ganglion cell dendrites were also substantial, suggestive of a role also in vertical information processing.

    Notizen: Summary Skeletal muscle regeneration in SJL/J and BALB/c mice subjected to identical crush injuries is markedly different: in SJL/J mice myotubes almost completely replace damaged myofibres, whereas BALB/c mice develop fibrotic scar tissue and few myotubes. To determine the cellular changes which contribute to these differential responses to injury, samples of crushed tibialis anterior muscles taken from SJL/J and BALB/c mice between 1 and 10 days after injury were analysed by light and electron microscopy, and by autoradiography. Longitudinal muscle sections revealed about a 2-fold greater total mononuclear cell density in SJL/J than BALB/c mice at 2 to 3 days after injury. Electron micrographs identified a similar proportion of cell types at 3 days after injury. Autoradiographic studies showed that the proportions of replicating mononuclear cells in both strains were similar: therefore greater absolute numbers of cells (including muscle precursors and macrophages) were proliferating in SJL/J muscle. Removal of necrotic muscle debris in SJL/J mice was rapid and extensive, and by 6 to 8 days multinucleated myotubes occupied a large part of the lesion. By contrast, phagocytosis was less effective in BALB/c mice, myotube formation was minimal, and fibrotic tissue conspicuous. These data indicate that the increased mononuclear cell density, more efficient removal of necrotic muscle, together with a greater capacity for myotube formation in SJL/J mice, contribute to the more successful muscle regeneration seen after injury.

    Notizen: Summary Leu-enkephalin containing secretory granules were demonstrated in axon terminals of immunogoldlabeled electron-microscopic sections of the sinus gland of three brachyuran crustaceans. These granules have a diameter of 120+-15 nm and differ in electron density from those located in adjacent terminals containing hyperglycemic or molt-inhibiting hormone. These neurohormones do not show co-localization with leu-enkephalin. The cross-reactivity of leu-enkephalin antiserum with met-enkephalin is less than 1%. The sinus glands of the three species examined show no immunoreactivity for FMRF-amide. A modulatory activity of endogenous enkephalin by paracrine mechanisms is suggested.

    Notizen: Summary The localization of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-like immunoreactivity in the masseter muscle of dystrophic mdx mice on postnatal day 28 was investigated by immunoblot analysis and electron microscopy. Crude homogenate of the masseter muscle, when subjected to immunoblotting with a bFGF antiserum, exhibited a main band with the same molecular weight (18 kDa) as bovine bFGF. By electron microscopy, bFGF immunoreactivity was detected in small regenerating myocytes; the smaller cells were the premature myocytes, the most intense staining was the immunoreactivity within the cytoplasm. Putative precursors of the muscle cells with a few myofilaments, which were most intensely labeled with anti-bFGF, contacted each other and possibly developed into multinucleated myocytes through cell fusion. Mature myocytes with densely packed myofilaments and peripherally located nuclei did not exhibit bFGF immunoreactivity; they formed myoneural junctions with motor nerve endings immunoreactive for bFGF. Early differentiating myocytes with intense bFGF-like immunoreactivity did not make contact with immunoreactive nerve terminals. Degenerating large myocytes with a limited number of distorted and/or disrupted myofilaments exhibited electron-dense deposits in the cristae of mitochondria; these deposits were not abolished by immunoadsorption control experiments. Thus, the cell-size-dependent decrease in bFGF immunoreactivity in regenerating but not in degenerating myocytes provides a morphological basis for an autoregulatory role of bFGF in muscle regeneration. This study suggests that neuronal bFGF is not involved in initial muscle regeneration in the dystrophic mdx mouse.

    Notizen: Summary An antiserum against conjugated histamine and two oligonucleotide probes that detect the mRNA encoding L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC) involved in histamine synthesis were used to study the appearance of histamine and its location in the kidneys of fetal, newborn and young postnatal rats and in the kidneys of pregnant rats. On embryonic days 16 and 18 (E16 and E18), some HA-immunoreactive (HA-ir) cells were found within the largest S-shaped bodies. Histamine was found to appear rapidly between the 18th and 20th embryonic days in the convoluted tubules of the kidneys. On postnatal day 0 (P0), the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts exhibited bright fluorescence, the intensity of which decreased quickly so that it was faint on day P4 and absent at later stages. In kidneys of pregnant rats HA-ir was found in the epithelium of both the Bowman's capsule, collecting ducts and in a few cells within the tubules. Nonuniform HA-ir was also detected within glomeruli. No evidence for the presence of L-histidine decarboxylase mRNA in kidneys of fetuses or pregnant rats was seen. It is concluded that distinct structures in the developing rat kidney contain histamine during a period around birth from day E20 to day P4. In the pregnant rat, the epithelium that is in direct contact with the urine flow is immunoreactive for histamine from day 16 to 20 of pregnancy. The results suggest that histamine is not synthesized locally in the kidneys but rather originates from other tissues.

    Notizen: Summary Alterations in numbers of glomeruli and glomerular cells occur in various renal disorders. Although values for these parameters have previously been reported for several species, the estimates have often been biased due to assumptions regarding glomerular and/or nuclear size and shape. Other studies have used tedious serial-section reconstruction methods. In the present study, unbiased stereological methods were used to estimate total numbers of glomeruli and individual glomerular cell types in normal rats. The kidneys of seven adult Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde and 1% glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer and embedded in either glycolmethacrylate (for light microscopy, LM) or Epon/Araldite (for transmission electron microscopy, TEM). Total glomerular number was estimated using an LM physical disector/fractionator combination; the total number of cells per average glomerulus was estimated using an LM optical disector/ Cavalieri combination; and TEM physical disectors were used to count individual cell types. The normal rat kidney was found to contain 31764±3667 (mean±SD) glomeruli. An average glomerulus contained 674±129 cells, of which 181±53 were epithelial cells (podocytes), 248±53 were endothelial cells, and 245±45 were mesangial cells. An average renal corpuscle contained 117±27 parietal epithelial cells. Following sectioning and staining, less than 6.5 h was needed to obtain the above estimates for a single animal, with coefficients of variation (SD as a percent of the mean) ranging from 10% to 25%. The unbiased stereological methods used in the present study constitute an unbiased, precise and cost-efficient set of quantitative tools for assessing glomerular morphology in health and disease.

    Notizen: Summary Sympathetic neurotransmitters have been shown to be present in the ovary of the rat during early postnatal development and to affect steroidogenesis before the ovary becomes responsive to gonadotropins, and before the first primordial follicles are formed. This study was undertaken to determine if development of the ovarian innervation is an event that antedates the initiation of folliculogenesis in the rat, Rattus norvegicus. Serial sections of postnatal ovaries revealed a negligible frequency of follicles 24 h after birth (about 1 primordial follicle per ovary). Twelve hours later there were about 500 follicles per ovary, a number that more than doubled to about 1300 during the subsequent 12 h, indicating that an explosive period of follicular differentiation occurs between the end of postnatal days 1 and 2. Electron microscopy demonstrated that before birth the ovaries are already innervated by fibers containing clear and dense-core vesicles. Immunohistochemistry performed on either fetal (day 19) or newborn (less than 15h after birth) ovaries showed the presence of catecholaminergic nerves, identified by their content of immunoreactive tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme in catecholamine biosynthesis. While some of these fibers innervate blood vessels, others are associated with primordial ovarian cells, thereby suggesting their participation in non-vascular functions. Since prefollicular ovaries are insensitive to gonadotropins, the results suggest that the developing ovary becomes subjected to direct neurogenic influences before it acquires responsiveness to gonadotropins.

    The effects of ageing on the morphology and function of the zonae fasciculata and reticularis of the rat adrenal cortex (1992)

    Notizen: Summary The morphological counterpart of the well-known age-dependent marked impairment of glucocorticoid secretion of rat adrenals was investigated by use of morphometric techniques. For this purpose 4-, 8-, 16- and 24-month-old rats were studied. Despite the notable lowering of both basal and ACTH-stimulated production of corticosterone by collagenase-dispersed inner adrenocortical cells, ACTH and corticosterone plasma concentrations displayed significant increases with ageing. Zona fasciculata (ZF) and zona reticularis (ZR) showed a notable hypertrophy in aged rats, which was due to rises in both the average volume and number of their parenchymal cells. The hypertrophy of ZF and ZR cells was in turn associated with increase in the volume of the mitochondrial compartment and proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, i.e., the two organelles involved in steroid-hormone synthesis. All these morphologic changes, conceivably due to the chronic exposure to high levels of circulating ACTH, are interpreted as a response enabling ZF and ZR to compensate for their age-dependent lowering in glucocorticoid secretion. Stereology also demonstrated that ZF and ZR cells underwent a striking age-related lipid-droplet repletion. Lipid droplets are the intracellular stores of cholesterol esters, the obligate precursors of steroid hormones in rats. This finding is in keeping with the contention that the mechanism underlying the age-dependent decline in rat-adrenal glucocorticoid secretion mainly involves impairments of the utilization of intracellular cholesterol previous to its intramitochondrial transformation to pregnenolone.

    Notizen: Summary In the external layers of human small and large intestine macrophage-like cells were characterized by immunohistochemical, histochemical and electronmicroscopical methods. Using immunohistochemistry and a number of monoclonal antibodies, the presence and distribution of phenotypic subpopulations of macrophages were evaluated. In all locations macrophage-like cells were identified with antibody EBM11, which recognizes CD68 antigen, C3bi which recognizes CD11b, and partly with an antibody which recognizes protein 150,95 (CD11c). Macrophage-like cells in the external muscle layer were HLA-DR-positive (expressing the MHC class-II antigen), in contrast to macrophage-like cells in the subserosa and submucosa. Macrophage-like cells in the external muscle layer were mostly acid phosphatase-negative, and at the electron-microscopic level they were found to have features of macrophages: primary lysosomes, coated vesicles and pits. However, very few secondary lysosomes were present. Birbeck granules were not observed. It is concluded that in the external muscle layer of human small and large intestine numerous macrophages of a special type are present. It is discussed whether this cell type plays a role in gastrointestinal motility and/or has an immunological function.

    Notizen: Summary Various antibodies and lectins were used in a histological study of the human renal tubule, particularly of the distal end of the thick limb of the loop of Henle. The thick limb, identified by antibody to Tamm-Horsfall protein, ended abruptly, either at the macula densa or at a variable distance after it. At this point there was an abrupt change in cell size. Confocal microscopy and other techniques showed that this point marked an abrupt beginning of tubular staining by the cytokeratin antibody PKK 2 and the lectin UEA 1, with an abrupt end of staining by the lectin DBA. Distal from this point, there were gradual changes in staining of the tubule by various reagents including other antibodies to cytokeratins. These structural findings suggest that there is a fundamental change in the tubule at the end of the thick limb. The abrupt end to the thick limb in man resembles that seen in the rat and the rabbit.

    Notizen: Summary Purified transthyretin has been isolated from sheep serum. Antiserum raised against this protein has been used with an indirect immunoperoxidase histochemical technique to identify transthyretin in newborn lamb kidney tissue. Transthyretin was found in proximal tubule cells and in glomerular peripolar cells. Preabsorption studies using purified transthyretin protein indicate that the immunoreactivity of the antiserum is specific to transthyretin.

    Notizen: Summary The present study describes the formative process of the initiation of cellular intrinsic fiber cementum (CIFC) in still growing human teeth. From 29 premolars and molars with incomplete roots developed to 60–90% of their final length, 8 premolars (with roots formed to three quarters of their final length) were selected for electron-microscopic investigation. All teeth were clinically intact and prefixed in Karnovsky's fixative immediately after extraction. Most of them were decalcified in ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and the apical part of the roots was divided axially into mesial and distal portions that were subdivided in about 5 slices each. Following osmication and embedding in Epon, these blocks were cut for light- and electron-microscopic examination. In addition, 5 teeth with incomplete roots were freed from organic material and processed for scanning electron microscopy. It was found that CIFC-initiation commenced very close to the advancing root edge and resulted in a rapid cementum thickening. Thereafter, appositional growth continued on the already established cementum surface. Large, basophilic and rough endoplasmic reticulum-rich cementoblasts, some of which became cementocytes, were responsible for both fast and slow CIFC-formation. The CIFC-matrix was free of Sharpey's fibers and composed of more or less organized intrinsic collagen fibrils, in part fibril bundles, that ran roughly parallel to the root surface. Initially, the cementum fibrils intermingled with those of the dentinal collagen fibrils, which were not yet mineralized. This boundary subsequently underwent calcification. The development of collagen fibril bundles and their extracellular arrangement were associated with cytoplasmic processes probably involved in fibril formation and fibril assembly. Many cementoblasts contained intracytoplasmic, membrane-bounded collagen fibrils, which probably were related to fibril formation rather than degradation.

    Notizen: Summary Testicular macrophages and Leydig cells from adult animals are known to be functionally coupled. For example, secreted products from macrophages stimulate testosterone secretion by Leydig cells. In adult rat testes, structural coupling also exists between these cells. This coupling consists of cytoplasmic projections from Leydig cells located within cytoplasmic invaginations of macrophages. Although macrophages are known to exist in the testis in immature animals, it is not known when these digitations develop. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the time of their development coincides with known maturational events that occur in Leydig cells, particularly during the peripubertal period. Testes from rats at 20, 30 and 40-days-of-age as well as testes from mature rats weighing more than 500 gm were prepared for ultrastructural analysis. It was found that digitations form between 20 and 30-days-of-age. These structures varied from simple tubular projections to complicated branched structures, suggesting that digitations are more than simple invaginations of microvilli into coated vesicles as previously described. Subplasmalemmal linear densities were also observed within macrophages juxtaposed to Leydig cells. Collagen was commonly observed between macrophages and Leydig cells in animals 20 days old. These studies demonstrate that although macrophages are present in the testis in maximal numbers at 20 days-of-age, they do not form junctions with Leydig cells until day 30. This is just prior to the major increase in secretory activity of rat Leydig cells that occurs during puberty.

    Notizen: Summary Interstitial cells associated with the deep muscular plexus of the guinea-pig small intestine were studied by electron microscopy, and three-dimensional cell models were reconstructed from serial ultrathin sections with a computer graphic system. Three types of cells were recognized. The first type was similar in shape to smooth muscle cells, but did not contain an organized contractile apparatus. Many large gap junctions comprising about 4% of the cell surface were present; they connected cells of the first type to each other, to the second type of cell and to smooth muscle cells of the outer circular layer. The second type of cell had a welldemarcated cell body with long slender processes and was characterized by a large amount of glycogen comprising about 9% of the cell volume. The third type of cell was similar to fibroblasts, and contained well-developed Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic retiulum. Some of these fibroblast-like cells (a possible subtype) formed small gap junctions. All three types of cells showed close relationships with nerve varicosities. This cellular network consisting of gap-junction-rich cells, glycogen-rich cells and smooth muscle cells may be involved in the pacemaking activity of intestinal movement.

    Notizen: Summary 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is known to affect the proliferation and/or differentiation of several types of cells. We injected TPA directly into the lumen of rat bladder to determine, using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, its effects on the bladder epithelium in vivo. At 1 h after TPA injection (1μg/ml), the superficial cells of the epithelium had changed their morphology, and large spherical vacuoles occupied their cytoplasm. In some areas, the underlying intermediate cells were exposed by the desquamation of the superficial cells. During the next few hours, TPA was excreted from the bladder lumen by voluntary micturition, but the desquamation of the superficial cells proceeded further. All the superficial cells were lost from the luminal surface by 24 h after TPA injection. The changes noted were specific for the superficial cells and were not observed in the intermediate or basal cells. After 24h, part of the epithelium had a three-layer structure, indicating that regeneration was taking place. These results demonstrate that TPA selectively affects and desquamates superficial cells in a short period of time. This experimental system may be useful for studying in vivo cell proliferation and/or differentiation.

    Notizen: Summary The peripolar cell is a unique cell type in the mammalian glomerulus. Peripolar cells are said to be identifiable during light microscopy by their cytoplasmic granules and by their position at the vascular pole; and during scanning electron microscopy by their distinctive surface morphology. We used both techniques to count peripolar cells in 6 normal rat kidneys. Scanning microscopy revealed that 55(±5)% of glomeruli contained at least one peripolar cell whereas light microscopy revealed granulated peripolar cells in only 4(±2)% of glomeruli. Vascular poles which contained peripolar cells previously identified by scanning were then examined by light and by transmission electron microscopy. Serial sections through these peripolar cells demonstrated the absence of cytoplasmic granules. Our observations suggest that the majority of peripolar cells in the rat contain no granules.

    Notizen: Summary For the histochemical localization of nucleoside triphosphatases at the electron microscopic level, prefixed tissues were incubated with lead nitrate in addition to substrate (GOMORI reaction). While ATP and UTP as substrates gave electron-dense reaction products at the plasmalemma of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma cells, and at plasmodesmata in primary pitfields, AMP gave reaction products only at the tonoplast of parenchyma cells. Since electron-dense deposits also occur in cell walls and vacuoles, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis was used to distinguish between lead deposits and lead-phosphate deposits. The latter were restricted to the symplast. Among the three plant species used, the leaf bundle phloem ofHordeum distichon showed ATPase activity largely restricted to the phloem cells, except for the thickwalled sieve tubes. Some activity also bordered the chloroplasts of the bundle sheath cells. In the C4 plantGomphrena globosa, ATPase and UTPase activities appeared to be the greater in phloem parenchyma cells than in sieve tubes. In the phloem of youngMonstera deliciosa roots, ATPase occurred not only at the plasmalemma of sieve tubes, but also around sieve-tube plastids. When compared with AMP as substrate, it appears that nucleoside triphosphates are the natural substrates of the enzyme(s) in the plasmalemma of sieve tubes and phloem parenchyma cells.

    Notizen: Abstract Vacuolar H+ ATPases participate in renal hydrogen ion secretion in both the proximal and distal nephron. These plasma membrane forms of the vacuolar H+ ATPase are regulated physiologically to maintain the acid-base balance of the organism. Proton transporting renal cells have requirements for constitutive acidification of intracellular compartments for normal endocytic and secretory functions. Recent experiments have begun to reveal how the kidney regulates these proton pumps independently. Vacuolar H+ ATPases are a family of structurally similar enzyme which differ in the composition of specific subunits. Cytosolic regulatory enzymes are present in renal cells which may affect vacuolar H+ ATPases in certain membrane compartments selectively. The vacuolar H+ ATPase in the plasma membrane of intercalated cells resides in a specialized proton-transporting apparatus that translocates the enzyme between an intracellular membrane pool and the plasma membrane in response to physiologic stimuli.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Lymphozelen sind eine seltene Komplikation nach Nierentransplantationen (in unserem Krankengut 2,2%) und treten typischerweise in den ersten 3–4 Monaten nach der Transplantation auf. Im späteren Verlauf sind sie eine Rarität. Die traumatische Ruptur eines Nierentransplantats ist in unserem Krankengut mit über 1200 Nierentransplantationen bisher einmalig. Es wird der Fall eines 28jährigen Marines geschildert, der 19 Jahre nach der Transplantation eine traumatische Nierentransplantatruptur erleidet. Durch das Trauma wird eine vorbestehende chronische Lymphozele klinisch manifest. Die Histologic der Lymphozelenwand zeigt Fett- und Bindegewebe mit ausgeprägter Fibrose. Das diagnostische und therapeutische Vorgehen wird beschrieben und mögliche Zusammenhänge den beiden seltenen Ereignisse diskutiert.
    Notizen: Summary The lymphocele is a seldom complication after kidney transplantation (2.2% of our patients). This manifestation occurs typically 3–4 months after transplantation, as a late complication it's a rarity. The rupture of a kidney graft because of a trauma is unique in our clinical experience, which contains more than 1200 kidney transplantations. We report the case of a 28-year-old man who had 19 years after transplantation a traumatic rupture of the kidney graft. Because of the trauma a preexistent chronic lymphocele got clinically manifest. The histology of the lymphocele wall shows fatty and collagen tissue with a strong fibrosis. The diagnostic and therapeutic procedure is described. There are different possible relations between the rare problems: — the tight lymphocele carries over the force on the graft — the lymphocele has grown together with the graft at the lower pole and ruptures in this place — a little graft rupture makes a clinical manifest bleeding in the lymphocele because the deficiency of perirenal tissue.

    Notizen: Summary The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of several organic acids (probenecid, sodium salicylate and penicillin G) on the endocochlear potential (EP) and the ultrastructure of the stria vascularis of the chinchilla with the effects of furosemide on these parameters. chinchillas received 50 mg/kg i.v. doses of probenecid, sodium salicylate or penicillin G, or 25 mg/kg i.v. furosemide. The EP was monitored continuously before and for 60 min afterwards. The stria vascularis was removed at 10-min intervals from animals and from 10 to 60 min after the injection of these agents. Specimens were then processed for transmission electron microscopy. Only furosemide had an effect on the EP, causing a reversible reduction. The reduction of the EP was accompanied by the appearance of edema in the intercellular spaces of the stria vascularis. No significant edema was found after probenecid, sodium salicylate or penicillin G. This was consistent with the finding that none of these latter three agents affected the endocochlear potential.

    Notizen: Summary The structural changes in the cricopharyngeal muscle (CM) were examined ultrastructurally and by enzyme histochemistry in five patients suffering from idiopathic cricopharyngeal dysphagia (ICD). Diagnosis was established by fiberoptic esophagoscopy, esophageal manometry and cineradiography. Cricopharyngeal myotomy was performed with marked improvement in all patients. Intraoperatively, a biopsy was taken from the CM. Additionally, all patients underwent neurological examination for possible generalized muscle disease, and a biopsy was taken from a limb muscle. CM from nine cadavers without known history of dysphagia served as control. The control samples disclosed structural changes which were considered to be pathological in other skeletal muscles, and required that the criteria for CM pathology we modified accordingly. In three patients changes in CM histology suggested specific pathogenesis: one patient had evidence for a generalized myositis but was only symptomatic for dysphagia. Another patient had muscle fiber atrophy and slight inflammation in her CM, possibly due to alcohol abuse. The third patient had loss of CM fibers with replacement by connective tissue enough to cause functional disturbances. In two patients no cause for dysphagia was found in either immunohistochemistry or electron microscopic studies. These results demonstrate the special structural features of the CM and indicate that ICD can have multiple etiologies.

    Notizen: Summary The matrix of the spiral limbus is obviously a special form of the intercellular substance. In the present study, the rat's spiral limbus was investigated by electron microscopy after fixation with ruthenium red and tannic acid and immunofluorescence to demonstrate matrix components. Collagen types I, II, V, VI, VII, IX and XI and fibronectin were not observed. Collagen type II and cartilage-specific proteoglycans, however, occurred in large quantities. The basal lamina of interdental cells and inner sulcus cells did not contain any collagen type IV. while the basal lamina of the capillaries had only minor amounts. Laminin and nidogen appeared in large amounts in the basal lamina. After fixation with tannic acid, the matrix between the interdental cells and the capillaries contained 20- to 22-nm-thick single and irregularly running fibrils as well as plaques of a fine granular material. After fixation with ruthenium red, 30-to 60-nm-thick, electron-dense granules occurred and most probably consisted of proteoglycans. These findings indicate that the composition of the matrix of the spiral limbus is similar to that of cartilage but not identical.

    Notizen: Summary Rabbits were exposed to 100 dB pure-tone sound at 2 kHz for 2 h. Electron microscopy was used to study the relationship between changes in the outer hair cells, afferent nerve endings and efferent nerve endings. There was no relationship found between the degree of changes produced in the afferent nerve endings and that the outer hair cells. However, there was a relationship demonstrable between the degree of changes seen in the efferent nerve endings and the infranuclear region of the outer hair cells. These findings show that acoustic trauma will damage most the infranuclear region of the outer hair cells, while efferent nerve endings are injured next and least affected are afferent nerve endings.

    Notizen: The Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian for a collection of N spin-1/2 sites is viewed, as favored by Professor Matsen, to be an element of the group algebra of the symmetric group SN. Several computationally tractable, variational group-algebraic approximations for the finite-temperature density matrix are made so as to minimize the Gibb's free-energy functional. Relations to previous quite differently motivated approximations are identified, though improvements are noted with the present approach.

    Algebrants in many-electron quantum mechanics: Applications of generalized determinants or matrix functions (1992)

    Notizen: We define the algebrant, a mathematical generalization of the determinant, the immanant, the permanent, and the Schur functions. Algebrants are classified as multilinear matrix functions or multicomponent symmetrized tensors. In applications, such as N-electron quantum mechanics, where extensive computation is required, it is vital to reduce computational effort, e.g., the well-known N-factorial problem. We derive certain mathematical properties that can be incorporated in efficient computing algorithms for algebrants. Foremost is our “elimination theorem,” which allows (in important special cases) zeros to be introduced into an algebrant in close analogy with Gaussian elimination for determinants. Savings accruing from such elimination can be substantial. We show examples from Matsen's spin-free quantum chemistry where elimination effectively removes the N-factorial problem that has hitherto stifled possible applications.

    Notizen: The geometric phase of quantum mechanics is introduced, and its physical effects are then studied in the context of molecular physics. By performing the most general Born-Oppenheimer procedure, we show how gauge groups appear in the study of molecules. This method is then applied to the doubly degenerate Λ-levels of a diatomic molecule. The resulting dynamics for the slow angular motion of the dumbbell is equivalent to that of a Dirac monopole.

    Notizen: A detailed algorithm is described that enables an implementation of a general valence bond (VB) method using the Clifford algebra unitary group approach (CAUGA). In particular, a convenient scheme for the generation and labeling of classical Rumer-Weyl basis (up to a phase) is formulated, and simple rules are given for the evaluation of matrix elements of unitary group generators, and thus of any spin-independent operator, in this basis. The case of both orthogonal and nonrothogonal atomic orbital bases is considered, so that the proposed algorithm can also be exploited in molecular orbital configuration interaction calculations, if desired, enabling a greater flexibility for N-electron basis-set truncation than is possible with the standard Gel'fand-Tsetlin basis. Finally, an exploitation of this formalism for the VB method, based on semiempirical Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP)-type Hamiltonian and nonorthogonal overlap-enhanced atomic orbital basis, and its computer implementation, enabling us to carry out arbitrarily truncated or full VB calculations, is described in detail.

Specialization to the geometry of the measure cone and the correspondingly specialized concept of mixing distance suggest strong mutual relationship as is shown subsequently in physically required generality. Thereby, the phenomenon of irreversibility attains an interpretation that seems to be the canonical mathematical background for classical and nonclassical statistical physics.

    Notizen: The configuration interaction (CI) method where the efficiency of the generators of the unitary group is most fully exploited is the internally contracted multireference CI method. In the most recent version of this method the semi-internal configurations were kept uncontracted, which means that the number of configurations can still be quite large. In the present study the necessary formulas are derived for the case where the semi-internal states are also contracted. The highest density matrix that appears in these formulas is of order 5, and the computational treatment of this large matrix is discussed in detail.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Some problems in elementary geometry are approached from the point of view of linear algebra and generalized to the theory of linear spaces of finite or infinite dimensions having a positive definite binary product. The angle ω between two elements of the linear space is defined from the concept of length by means of the cosine-theorem. A rotation is then defined as a special case of a unitary transformation moving all elements the same angle ω, except that under certain circumstances, some elements may stay invariant. In the former case, one speaks of a rotation around an “external axis,” and in the latter case, of a rotation around an “internal axis” defined by the invariant elements. It is shown that the finite rotations U of both types may be expressed in the simple exponential form U = exp(iωm), where the “generator” m in the former case is an operator satisfying the relation m2 = 1, and in the latter case, m3 = m. The structure of the group of finite rotations in the former case is clarified in some detail. As an illustration of the theory, some applications to the three- and two-dimensional spaces as well as to the theory of spin are given. The coupling between the ordinary three-dimensional rotations and the spinor transformations is considered in somewhat greater detail.

    Notizen: The vertical ionization potentials of model hydrogen chains have been calculated, in the framework of STO-3G and 4-31G bases, at the second-order level of the many-body Green's function theory. Compared to the second-order many-body perturbation theory, this approach provides a qualitative description of trends observed with orbital relaxation, pair removal, and pair relaxation effects when studying oligomeric systems of increasing size with varying bond length.

    Ab initio calculations of all-trans octatetraene and eight isoelectronic conjugated chains: Semiempirical heats of formation and stabilization energies (1992)

    Notizen: In the framework of our study of the changes of the electric polarizability upon substituting heteroatomic linkages in conjugated hydrocarbon backbones, we have been led to examine the relative stability of eight compounds isoelectronic to the all-trans octatetraene using the Cox and Pilcher concept of stabilization energy (SE), SE = ΔHa - ΣNABEAB, where ΔHa is the heat of atomization of the species under consideration and the EAB's are bond-energy terms. Full geometry optimizations at the 4-31G level have been performed to obtain the equilibrium geometries needed to deduce reliable semiempirical heats of formation from appropriate isodesmic processes. Some of the compounds containing the — CH=N— and — N=N — groups have electric polarizabilities and stabilization energies comparable to octatetrene.

    Ab initio calculations of many-body energy expansion in Linn+F- clusters (1992)

    Notizen: The effects of the basis-set size on many-body energy expansion in Linn+F- clusters are investigated and correlated with previously reported values on Linn+Cl- analogs. Coulomb and non-Coulomb energies in Linn+F- at different configurations are also examined. Although at the minimal STO-3G basis Vna(3, 4) and Vna(4, 4) nonadditivity terms were the smallest in the D3h configuration, they were the largest at the extended 6-311 ++G basis. V(m, n) terms where m = n ≥ 3 were found to be playing a small role in the chemistry and physics of Linn+F- clusters compared with V(3, n) terms in Linn+Cl- clusters.

    Finite-size dimensional analysis of the superconducting vibronic interaction (1992)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell
    International Journal of Quantum Chemistry 41 (1992), S. 273-279

    ISSN: 0020-7608

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Even in a finite-size system, the vibronic interaction acts as the attractive force to bind a pair of electrons. For small-size systems, the electron repulsion overwhelms the vibronic attraction. As the size of the system becomes large, the electronic repulsion diminishes to zero in proportion to the volume of the system, whereas the vibronic attraction (1) grows to infinity for a one-dimensional system, (2) converges to a finite value for a two-dimensional system, and (3) diminishes to zero for a three-dimensional system. Even for a three-dimensional system, the vibronic attraction diminishes much slower than does the electronic repulsion. This brings about a concept of the critical size for an any-dimensional system, over which size the vibronic attraction overwhelms the electronic repulsion, thereby creating purely attractive interaction for a pair of electrons, which may lead to superconductivity.

    Notizen: An analysis of the quality of a given basis set is presented in terms of the three fundamental parts of total energy. This analysis clearly displays three types of error occasionally present in the components of total energy. As an illustration of the application of these concepts, several STO and Gaussian basis sets for the Ni atom are analyzed.
