    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des couronnes périostéocytaires hypominéralisées au niveau de biopsies osseuses pratiquées, chez des patients, atteints de rachitisme résistant à la vitamine D, s'observent plus fréquemment autour d'ostéocytes jeunes que d'ostéocytes âgés. Ce fait indique qu'à un moment donné, cette hyperminéralisation périostéocytaire peut disparaitre et que, par consequence, il existe un intervalle de temps dans la minéralisation de la matrice organique périostéocytaire.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Höfe von schwach mineralisierten Periosteocyten werden in Knochenbiopsien von Patienten mit Vitamin D-resistenter Rachitis häufiger rings um die jungen als um die alten Osteocyten beobachtet. Es scheint somit, daß nach einiger Zeit die unvollständige Mineralisation, die auf Grund der Höfe angenommen werden werden kann, einen “Heilungsprozeß” erfährt und daß deshalb eine verzögerte Mineralisation der perlicunären organischen Matrix erfolgt.
    Notes: Abstract Udermineralized periosteocyte haloes in bone biopsies from patients with vtamin D-resistant rickets occur more frequently around young than around old osteocytes, indicating that in time the incomplete mineralization suggested by the haloes, undergoes a “healing” process and therefore there is a delay in the mineralization of the perilacunar organic matrix.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Röntgendichte des Knochens wird mit einer neuen fotografischen Mothode gemessen. Dabei wird jeder Dichteumfang als „Äquidensite” abgebildet. In den Summationsbildern ist die Dichteverteilung direkt abzulesen und anhand einer mitabgebildeten Aluminiumtreppe als Vergleichskörper zu quantifizieren. Untersucht werden dreicoxale Femurenden mit Normalmaßen, eine Coxa valga, eine Coxa vara und eine Coxa vara nach medialem Schenkelhalsbruch. Die Meßgenauigkeit wird mit densitometrischen Dichtebestimmungen von Knief (1967 a, b) verglichen. 1. Die fotografisch gemessene Dichteverteilung entspricht der densitometrisch gemessenen. 2. Die Meßgenauigkeit ist etwas geringer als bei der üblichen Densitometrie. 3. Die Dichteverteilung ist, durch Raster oder Farben markeirt, direkt abzulesen. 4. Die elektive Darstellung einer bestimmten Dichtestufe ist direkt möglich. Die Materialverteilung wird mit der Beanspruchungsverteilung im Isochromatenbild von Pauwels (1955) und Knief (1967b) verglichen. Dazu werden Röntgenbilder von Frontalschnitten eines normalen coxalen Femurendes und der Coxa valga untersucht. 1. Die Materialverteilung stimmt bei beiden Untersuchungsobjekten mit der Beansupruchungsverteilung im Modellversuch sehr gut überein. 2. Lediglich im Kopfbereich treten relativ zu geringe Isochromatenordnungen auf. Anschließend wird erneut die Frage diskutiert, ob der Knochen ein Körper gleicher Festigkeit ist. Wegen der guten Übereinstimmung von Materialverteilung und Beanspruchungsverteilung und aufgrund theoretischer Überlegungen über die Änderung der Beanspruchungsverteilung bei älteren Individuen muß angenommen werden, daß die lokale Beanspruchungsgröße und die vorhandene Materialmenge einander entsprechen, daß es sich somit beim menschlichen coxalen Femurende tatsächlich um einen „Körper gleicher Festigkeit” handelt.
    Notes: Summary The density in X-ray pictures of bone is determined by a new photographical method. The film produces directly “equidensities” of each density range. The pictures of the summarized equidensities show directly the density distribution which can be quantified by comparison with an aluminium staircaise, taken on the same film. Three coxal femoral ends of normal size, one coxa valga, one coxa vara, and a coxa vara after medial fracture of the collum femoris are investigated. The exactness of the measurement is compared with X-ray densitometry by Knief (1967a, b). 1) The photographically determined density-distribution is equivalent to the X-ray densitometry. 2) The exactness of the measurement is slightly minor than in densitometry. 3) The distribution of density, marked by cross-hatching or colours, is directly shown. 4) The electiv representation of a desired range of density is directly possible. The distribution of bone minerals is compared with the distribution of local stress in photoelastical experiments of Pauwels (1955) an Knief (1967b). For that purpose the density distribution of a frontal slice of a normal coxal femural end and a coxa valga is examined in X-ray pictures. 1. The distribution of bone minerals correspond to the local stress in photoelastic experiments in both objects nearly perfect. 2. Only in the caput femoris of the plastic models the number of isochromes was relatively too small. The question, whether bone is a “body of uniform strength” is newly discussed. The good correspondance between mineral distribution and local stress in plastic models and theoretical refletions concerning the alteration of strain distribution in older individuals make it highly probable that local stress and local quantity of material are corresponding and that human coxal femoral end is a “body of uniform strength” indeed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La masse de l'os spongieux de 129 cadavres des deux sexes a été déterminée. Dans 77 cas, la masse de l'os cortical est également mesurée. La masse de l'os spongieux d'os de la crête iliaque est établie à l'aide d'une méthode physique, basée sur le principe d'Archimède. La masse de l'os cortical est mesurée au niveau du second métacarpe de la main droite à l'aide d'une méthode graphimétrique aux rayons X. La masse de l'os spongieux et cortical décroit significativement avec l'âge chez la femme, mais non chez l'homme.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die trabeculäre Knochenmasse von 129 Leichen beiden Geschlechts wurde gemessen. In 77 Fällen wurde auch die corticale Knochenmasse gemessen. Die trabeculäre Knochenmasse von Beckenkammproben wurde mit einer physikalischen Methode bestimmt, welche auf dem Prinzip des Archimedes basiert. Die corticale Knochenmasse wurde am zweiten Metacarpus der rechten Hand mittels einer graphimetrischen Röntgenmethode gemessen. Die trabeculäre und die corticale Knochenmasse nahm bei Frauen, aber nicht bei Männern, mit zunehmendem Alter stark ab. Bei Frauen wurde eine signifikante Korrelation zwischen corticaler und trabeculärer Knochenmasse festgestellt.
    Notes: Abstract Trabecular bone mass was measured in the iliac crest of 129 cadavera of both sexes with a physical method based on the principle of Archimedes. Cortical bone mass was measured at the second metacarpal of the right hand with a graphimetric X-ray method in 77 cases. Trabecular and cortical bone mass decreased significantly with age in women but not in men. A significant correlation between cortical and trabecular bone mass was established in women.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La technique de la résonance aux électrons (ESR) a été utilisée pour étudier la résorption et la substitution progressive de greffons osseux stérilisés par irradiation (à une dose de 3.3 Mrads) chez le lapin et le chien. Le signal stable d'ESR, émis par la perte de substance structurale induite par le rayonnement au niveau du minéral osseux, est utilisé comme marqueur biologique. La concentration de résonance et le nombre total des centres paramagnétiques sont mesurés avant et après greffe. Ue décroissance progressive de la concentration de résonance et du nombre total des centres paramagnétiques est observée après des intervalles de temps variables, faisant suite à l'implantation. En considérant la stabilité inhabituelle et le manque de réactivité chimique des centres paramagnétiques intéressés, il apparait que la décroissance des intensités du signal ESR observé indique une résorption et une substitution progressive. Cette méthode parait intéressante pour des recherches sur les tissues calcifiés.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zur Erforschung der Resorption und der schleichenden Substitution von radiosterilisierten (Dosis: 3,3 Mrad) Knochentransplantaten bei Kaninchen und Hunden wurde die Technik der elektronischen Drehresonanz (ESR) angewendet. Als biologische Markierung diente das stabile ESR-Signal, welches aufgrund des bestrahlungsbedingten Strukturdefektes im Knochenmineral entsteht. Die Drehkonzentration und die Gesamtzahl der paramagnetischen Zentren wurden vor und nach dem Transplantieren gemessen. In verschiedenen Zeitintervallen konnte nach der Implantierung eine allmähliche Abnahme der Drehkonzentration sowie der Gesamtzahl der paramagnetischen Zentren beobachtet werden. Aus der ungewöhnlichen Stabilität und der fehlenden chemischen Reaktionsfähigkeit der beteiligten paramagnetischen Zentren wird geschlossen, daß die beobachtete abnehmende ESR-Signalintensität ei Zeichen für die zunehmende Resorption und Substitution ist. Es scheint, daß mit der besprochenen Technik eine brauchbare Methode zur Erforschung von mineralisiertem Gewebe zur Verfügung steht.
    Notes: Abstract The electron spin resonance (ESR) technique has been applied to the investigation of the resorption and creeping substitution of radiosterilized (3.3 Mrads dose) bone grafts in rabbits and dogs. The stable ESR signal arising from the radiation-induced structural defect in bone mineral was used as a biological label. the spin concentration and the total number of paramagnetic centres were measured before and after grafting. The gradual decrement of spin concentration as well as that of total number of paramagnetic centres were observed at varioust ime intervals after implantation. On the basis of the unusual stability and lack of chemical reaction of the paramagnetic centres involved, it is concluded that the decrease of the observed ESR signal intensities indicates progressive resorption and substitution. it seems that the proposed method can be useful for research o mineralized tissues.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Certains sérums albumines provoquent une résorption d'os vivatin vitro. Cet effet de l'albumine est en rapport avec la concentration du produit. L'albumine dialysée et l'albumine chauffée à 55° conserve totalement son activité de résorption osseuse: l'albumine dénaturée par la chaleur est inactive. L'action de l'albumine est inhibée par l'élévation du pH. Il n'y a pas de rapport entre l'activité de résorption osseuse et la propriété de combinaison des albumines aux ions calciques ou leur propriété de libérer des ions d'hydrogène. La thyrocalcitonine, le glucago, les glucocorticoides et l'actinomycine D Inhibent la résorption osseuse induite par l'albumine.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Einige Serunmalbumine verursachen die Resorption von lebenden Knochenin vitro. Diese Wirkung des Albumins ist konzentrationsabhängig. Dialysiertes und auf 55° erhitztes Albumin behalten ihre volle knochenresorbierende Aktivität; hitzedenaturiertes Albumin ist inaktiv. Der Albumineffekt wird durch erhöhtes pH gehemmt. es besteht keine Korrelation zwischen der knochenauflösenden Aktivität und der Fähgkeit des Albumins, Ca-lonen zu binden oder H-Ionen abzugeben. Thyrocalcitoni, Glucagon, Glucocorticoide und Antinomycin D wirken als Antagonisten der durch Albumin verursachten Kochenresorption.
    Notes: Abstract Some serum albumins cause resorption of living bonein vitro. This effect of albumin is concentration-dependent. Dialyzed albumin and albumin heated at 55° retain full bone resorbing activity; heat denatured albumin is inactive. The albumin effect is inhibited by elevated pH. No correlation exists between bone resorbing activity and the capacity of albumins to bind calcium ions or to donate hydrogen ions. Thyrocalcitonin, glucagon, glucocorticoids and actinomycin D antagonize albumin-induced bone resorption.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des poulets, âgés de 2 semaines, après a voir été soumis pendant 7 jours à un régime pauvre en calcium (0,1%), riche en vitamine D3, à contenu stable en strontium à une concentration équimolaire à 1,2% de calcium, reçoivent à nouveau une alimentation normale. Les graves lésions osseuses, provoquées par le régime au strontium, disparaissent au bout de 3 jours d'alimentation normale. L'inhibition du mécanisme d'absorption intestinal du calcium et l'action inhibitrice initiale du strontium alimentaire sont totalement abolies. Cependant les troubles de la minéralisation ne disparaissent que partiellement.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Nachdem normale, 2-wöchige Kücken während 7 Tagen eine calciumarme (0,1%), Vitamin D3-reiche und 2,62% kaltes Strontium (molaraequivalent mit 1,2% Calcium) enthaltende Nahrung erhielten, wurden sie wieder auf normales Futter gesetzt. Die schwere Knochenläsion, die sich durch die Strontiumfütterung entwickelt hatte, bildete sich zu einem großen Teil schon nach 3 Tagen normaler Nahrung wieder zurück. Die Hemmung der Calciumabsorption im Darm, die anfängliche inhibierende Wirkung des Strontiums aus der Nahrung, wurde vollständig aufgehoben; dagegen besserte sich der Mineralisationsdefekt nur teilweise.
    Notes: Abstract Two week old normal chicks, after having been fed a low-calcium (0.1%), vitamin D3-replete diet containing stable strontium at a level equimolar to 1.2% calcium for 7 days, were transferred back to a normal diet. The severe bone lesion that developed with strontium feeding was, to a large extent, reversed after only 3 days on the normal diet. The inhibition of the intestinal calcium absorptive mechanism, the initial inhibitory action of dietary strontium, was fully reversed whereas the recovery from the defect in mineralization was only partially reversed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une concentration moyenne de 2.4×10−8 g U/g de cendre a été obtenue à partir de l'os humain normal. La microdistribution de l'uranium dans l'os indique que cet élément est surtout limité à surface de l'endoste et, en particulier, aux surfaces de l'os lamellaire et aux parois des canaux de Havers, ouverts dans l'os corticol. Cette répartition suggère que l'uranium se présente sous une forme chimique impropre à son incorporation dans l'apatite osseux: il ne semble donc pas exister une distribution diffuse significative de l'uranium dans l'os.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Eine mittlere Konzentration von 2,4×10−8 g Uran/g Asche wurde in normalen menschlichen Knochen gefunden. Die Feinverteilung von Uran im Knochen zeigt, daß dieses Element hauptsächlich an der endostalen Oberfläche vorkommt, insbesondere an der Oberfläche des trabeculären Knochens und an den Wänden der offenen Haversschen Kanäle im kortikalen Knochen. Diese Verteilung läßt vermuten, daß Uran in einer chemischen Form vorliegt, welche sich für den Einbau in das Knochenapatit nicht eignet. Daraus folgt, daß keine signifikante diffuse Verteilung des Urans innerhalb des Knochens vorliegt.
    Notes: Abstract A mean concentration of 2.4×10−8 g U/g ash has been obtained for normal human bone The microdistribution of uranium in bone indicates that this element is mainly restricted to endosteal surfaces; in particular the surfaces of trabecular bone and the walls of open Haversian canals in cortical bone. This distribution suggests that uranium is present in a chemical form that is not acceptable for incorporation into bone apatite and consequently there does not appear to be a significant diffuse distribution of uranium throughout bone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Dix rats Holtzman mâles et sevrés sont sacrifiés injection intrapéritonéale d'oestradiol (Progynon, Schering) aqueux, à des doses quotiediennes de 1 μ g. par g de poids. Des témoins, ayant reçu une dose équivalente de liquide de dilution, sont sacrifiés à des intervalles de 1 heure à 6 jours, identiques aux temps de sacrifice des animaux injectés. Les cartilages épiphysaires supérieurs des tibias tibias (ECP) étudiés en microscopie électronique, montrent, dès trois heures après l'ionjection, une augmentation nette de 'activié sécrétoire, caractérisée, au niveau de la zone de sécrétion matricielle, par l'abondance dans les citernes golgiennes d'un matériel piqueté, constitué par des complexes protéino-polysaccharidiques. La désintégration de la membrane limitante de vésicules golgiennes individuelles est plus avancée après vingt quatre heures: après trois jours de traitement, seules quelques vésicules restent intactes et des plages d'un matériel initialement intravacuolaire sont visibles dans le cytoplasme. De longs filaments, rappelant les précurseurs ou les fibrilles primaires du collagène, sont visibles dans cette sécrétion. Après six jours, de grandes plages de cettre subestance remplissent les cellules de la couche pré-hypertrophieque, avec déplacement de l'ergastoplasme en périphérie. Des vacuoles cytoplasques, contenant un matériel semblable à celui qu'on retrouve dans la lacune, et présentant des filament finement moniliformes et disposés en rayons le long de la membrane limitante, sont visibles. Ces observations suggèrent une accélération initiale de l'activité sécrétoire chondrocytaire, suivie par un retard de transfert. La rétention consécutive et la polymérisation intracellulaire de produits précollagéniques accélèrent l'hypertrophie et favorisent ainsi la dégénérescence précoce des chondrocytes. Ces altérations ultrastructurales paraissent être spécifiques aux oestrog`enes.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zehn männliche Hotlzmann-Ratten, die im Entwöhnungsstadium waren, erhielten täglich wässerige Oestradioldosen (Progynon, Schering) von 1 μ/g Körpergewicht i.p. Dann wurden sie gleichzeitig mit Kontrolltieren, welche die gleiche Menge Verdünnungsmittel erhalten hatten, in Intervallen von 1 Std bis zu 6 Tagen getötet. Platten des oberen tibialen Epiphysenknorples (ECP), welche für die Elektronenmikroskopie präpariert wurden, zeigtem, daß schon 3 Std nach der Injektion ein bemerkenswerte Erhöhung der sekretorischen Tätigkeit entsteht. Dies wurde in der Zone der Matrixausscheidung sichtbar, wo sich in den Golgi-Zisternen eine Anhäufung von punktiertem, aus Proteinpolysaccharid-Komplexen bestehendem Material zeigte. Der Zerfall der Membran, welche die einzelnen Golgi-Bläschen umgibt, nahm nach 24 Std zu; nach 3 Tagen Behandlung blieben nur wenige Gefäße intakt, und Ansammlungen von ursprünglich intravacuolörem Material konnten im Grundplasma beobachtet werden. Lange Fasern, welche auf primäre oder Prae-Kollagefibrillen hindeuteten, konnten in diesem Sekret gesehen werden. Nach 6 Tagen wurden die Zellen in der prähypertrophen Zone mit dieser Substanz richtiggehend überschwemmt, und das rauhe endoplasmatische Reticulum wurde anschließend gegen die Zellperipherie verlagert. Die oft beobachteten cytoplasmatischen Vacuolen enthielten ein Material, das dem in den Lacunen vorkommenden ähnlich ist und zeigten auf der ungebrenden Membran feinperlige, radial angeordnete Fasern. Unsere Beobachtungen deuten auf eine anfängliche Beschleuning der chondrocytischen sekretorischen Tätigkeit, mit nachfolgender Transportverlangsamung, hin. Die dadurch entstehende Retention und intrazelluläre Polymerisation von präkollagenen Produkten beschleunigt die Hypertrophie und begünstigt dadurch die frühe Degeneration von Chondrocyten. Diese ultrastrukturellen Veränderungen scheinen oestrogen-spezifisch zu sein.
    Notes: Abstract Ten male weanling Holtzman rats, injected intraperitoneally with aqueous estradiol (Progynon, Schering), in daily doses of 1 μg. per g body weight, were sacrificed, simultaneously with controls receiving an equivalent amount of diluent, at intervals ranging from one hour to six days. Upper tibial epiphyseal cartilage plates (ECP), procesed for electron microscopy, revealed, as early as three hours after injection, appreciable enhancement of secretory activity, evidenced, in the zone of matrix secretion, by the abundance in Golgi cisternae of stippled material representing proteinpolysaccharide complexes. Disintegration of the lining membrane of individual Golgi vesicles was advanced after twenty-four hours; following three days of treatment, few vesicles remained intact, and pools of initially intravacuolar material were observable in the gound plasm. Long filaments, suggestive of primary or precursor collagen fibrils were apparent in this secretion. After six days, virtual lakes of this substance filled cells in the zone of prehypertophy, with consequent displacement of the rough endoplasmic reticulum against the cell periphery. Cytoplasmic vacuoles, containing mateerial similar to that found in the lacunar moat, and displaying finely beaded, radially arrayed filaments on the lining membrane were frequently encountered. Our observations suggest an initial acclleration of chondrocytic secretory activity, with subsequent retardation of transport. The resultant retention and intracellular polymerization of precollagenous products accelerates hypertrophy, thereby promoting early degeneration of chondrocytes. These ultrastructural alterations are apparently estrogen-specific.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les électrolytes ont été analysés dans le sérum et dans les tissues en voie de minéralisation, à des stades variables de calcification, chez des poulets et des pores normaux et rachitiques. L'humidité, les cendres et les matières organiques et déssèchées ont été analysées. Il apparait que d'autres électrolytes sériques, en plus du Ca, sont modifiés au cours du rachitisme. Le Mg et le P inorganique sont modifiés de façon variable au cours de l'avitaminose D. Des changements plus importants en contenu minéral des tissus sont observés dans les stades précoces de calcification que ceux que l'on a pu constater dans le sérum à des stades similaires, ce qui suggère un effet direct de l'avitaminose sur le tissu en voie de calcification. Quant au contenu du sérum, le dépôt de Ca est plus élevé dans les tissus d'animaux rachitiques par rapport aux témoins. Ceci n'est pourtant pas le cas du Mg ou du P inorganique, indiquant une affinité préférentielle du Ca pour le tissue rachitique. L'analyse gravimétrique de matières organiques et déssèchées des zones épiphysaires montre que les quantités de cartilage hypertrophique et en voie de dévelopment augmentent dans le cas de rachitisme, alors que le cartilage calcifié diminue, confirmant les observations histologiques antérieures. De manière inattendue, la proportion de cartilage au repos augmente au cours du rachitisme.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Elektrolyte im Serum und in mineralisierenden Geweben wurden zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten der Verkalkung bei normalen Hühnern und Schweinen und bei solchen mit Vitamin D-Mangel analysiert. Wassergehalt, Asche, trockene und organische Substanz wurden ebenfalls gemessen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß außer Ca auch andere Elektrolyte bei Rachitis verändert wurden. Mg und anorganischer P wurden durch den Vitaminmangel bei den beiden Gattungen verschiedenartig beeinflußt. In den Geweben wurde in den frühen Phasen der Verkalkung eine größere Änderung des Mineral-Spiegels gefunden, als dies zu übereinstimmenden Zeiten im Serum der Fall war, was auf eine direkte Wirkung des Vitaminmangels auf das verkalkende Gewebe schließen läßt. Im Verhältnis zum Serumspiegel wurde Ca in den Geweben der rachitischen Tiere zu einem größeren Grade als normal abgeschieden. Dies war nicht der Fall bei Mg oder anorganischem P, was einen Vorzug für Ca in den rachitischen Geweben anzeigt. Gravimetrische Analysen von organischer und trockener Substanz in epiphysischen Schichten zeigten, daß die Menge des proliferierenden und hypertrophischen Knorpels zunahm und daß verkalkter Knorpel bei Rachitis abnahm, gemäß klassischen histologischen Beobachtungen. achtungen. Ganz unerwartet war bei Rachitis eine verhältnismäßige Zunahme des ruhenden Knorpels festzustellen.
    Notes: Abstract Electrolytes were analyzed in serum, and in mineralizing tissues at varying stages of calcification, in normal and vitamin D-deficient chickens and pigs. Moisture, ash, and organic matter were also measured. Results revealed that in addition to Ca, other serum electrolytes were altered in rickets. Mg and inorganic P were diversely affected by the vitamin deficiency. Larger changes in mineral level were seen in the tissues in the early stages of calcification than were seen at corresponding times in the serum, suggesting a direct effect of the vitamin deficiency on the calcifying tissue itself. Relative to the serum level, Ca was deposited in the tissues of rachitic animals to a greater extent than in normal animals. This was not true for Mg or inorganic P, indicating a preferential affinity for Ca in the rachitic tissue. Gravimetric analyses of organic and dry matter in epiphyseal zones revealed that the amounts of proliferating and hypertrophic cartilage were increased, and calcified cartilage decreased, in rickets, in accord with previous histological observations. Unexpectedly, the proportion of resting cartilage was also increased.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Un implant céramique non poreux est testé au niveau du fémur de rat en ce qui concerne son adhésivité à l'os. Un certain nombre de techniques morphologiques sont utilisées pour examiner le rapport entre l'implant et l'os néoformé. La microscopie électronique par transmission et la microscopie par fluorescence après marquage à la tétracycline ont donné les meilleurs résultats.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Ein unporöses keramisches Implantat in Rattenfemora wurde auf seine Fähigkeit geprüft, sich mit Knochen zu binden. Eine Anzahl morphologischer Techniken wurde verwendet, um die Beziehung zwischen den Oberflächen von Implantat und neuem Knochen zu untersuchen. Transmissions-Elektronenmikroskopie und Fluoreszenzmikroskopie nach Tetracyclinmarkierung waren die erfolgreichsten Techniken. Eine enge Beziehung zwischen mineralisiertem Knochen und dem Keramikimplantat konnte mit der Transmissions-Elektronenmikroskopie nachgewiesen werden. Das Aussehen der Tetracyclinmarkierung im keramischen Implantat deutet darauf hin, daß dieses wahrscheinlich die Fähighkeit hat, Knochenbildung zu erhöhen.
    Notes: Abstract A nonporous ceramic implant in rat femora was evaluated as to its ability to bond to bone. A number of morphologic techniques were utilized to examine the interfacial relationship of the implant to new bone. Transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy after tetracycline labelling were the most successful techniques. An intimate relationship between mineralized bone and the ceramic was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy. The appearance of tetracycline labelling at the ceramic interface indicates that the implant may have capacity to enhance bone formation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des cellules épithéliales humaines, obtenues par culture de tissu (de lignée “K”), sont njectées dans les muscles de la cuisse et de la paroi abdominale ou dans le tissu sous-cutané de rats conditionnés par la cortisone. Du cartilage et/ou de l'os se forment dans le tissu musculaire, mais non dans le tissu sous-cutané.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zellen aus der Kultur von menschlichem Epithelialgewebe („K”-Stamm) wurden Cortisonvorbehandelten Ratten in die Bein- oder Bauchwandmuskulatur oder subcutan injiziert. Die Bildung von Knorpel und/oder Knochen wurde in diesen zwei Muskelgeweben leicht ausgelöst; dies war jedoch an den subcutan behandelten Stellen nicht der Fall.
    Notes: Abstract Human epithelial tissue culture line cells (“K” line) were injected into the leg or abdominal wall muscle, or subcutaneously, in cortisone-conditioned rats. Cartilage and/or bone was induced readily in either of the muscular sites, but not subcutaneously.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'injection d'embryons de poulet, incubés pendant neuf jours, avec du β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN), à des doses supérieures à 0,312 mg par embryon, empêche la formation de cartilage, normalement présent au niveau des os de membrane à partir du llème jour de l'inculation. L'hitsogenese de cette inhibition est décrite. BAPN augmente la propertion de collagène et diminue la synthèse des mucopolysaccharides acides, contenant de l'hesoxamine, au niveau des os de membrane. Le rapport entre les chainons tranversaux du collagène, sa solubilité, la synthèse des mucopolysaccharides acides et la stimulation mécanique (le facteur extrinsèque déclenchant la chondrogenèse dans le système) est discuté sous l'angle de la formation cartilagineuse sur les os de membrane, à partir de cellules souches.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Wird β-Aminopropionitrol (BAPN) in Dosen von über 0,312 mg/Embryo in 9 Tage inkubierte Hühnerembryonen injiziert, so wird die Bildung des normalerweise vom 11. Inkubationstag an auf dem Deckknochen vorliegenden Knorpels verhindert. Die Histogenese dieser Hemmung wird beschrieben. BAPN erhöhte den Anteil des löslichen Kollagens, ohne die Synthese des Totalkollagens zu verändern; es verminderte die Synthese der hexosaminhaltigen sauren Mucopolysaccharide innerhalb der Deckknochen. Die Diskussion betrifft die Beziehung zwischen der Quervernetzung des Kollagens, der Kollagenlöslichkeit, der Synthese von sauren Mucopolysacchariden und der mechanischen Stimulation (wobei der Extrinsicfaktor die Chondrogenese in diesem System auslöst) bei der Knorpelbildung aus den bipotentialen Keimzellen der Deckknochen.
    Notes: Abstract Injection into chick embryos incubated for nine days, of β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) at doses above 0.312 mg/embryo prevented the formation of the cartilage normally present on the membrane bones from the eleventh day of incubation onwards. The histogenesis of this inhibition is described. BAPN increased the proportion of soluble collagen without altering total collagen synthesis and decreased the synthesis of hexosamine-containing acid mucopolysaccharides within the membrane bones. The relationship between cross-linking of collagen, collagen solubility, synthesis of acid mucopolysaccharides and mechanical stimulation (the extrinsic factor initiating chondrogenesis in this system) in the formation of cartilage from bipotential germinal cells on the membrane bones is discussed.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Mit dem als Immunosuppressor wirkenden Anti-Mäuse-Lymphocyten-Serum, welches anstelle von Steroidhormonen verwendet wurde, konnte bei Mäusen, die ein Transplantat von K-xenogenen, festgesetzten Epithelzellen erhalten hatten, das Einsetzen von Knochenwachstum hervorgerufen werden. Diese Resultate zeigen, daß in diesem Modell das Einsetzen des Knochenwachstums nicht von Steroidhormonen abhängig ist.

The results suggest that bone induction in this experimental system is not dependent upon steroid hormones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des microradiographies par projection sont réalisées à des grossissements initiaux différents, à partir de coupes par usure d'os de 100 microns d'épaisseur, après inclusion dans du méthacrylate de polyméthyle. Les microradiographies sont obtenues en utilisant des rayons X, de diverses longueurs d'onde. A certains grossissements radiographiques, les bords des objets étudiés, normalement transparents aux rayons X, deviennent très radio-opaques. La largeur du bord opaque varie avec la longueur d'onde de la radiation et le grossissement radiographique initial, ce dernier agissant au maximum avec un agrandissement initial de deux fois. Il semble donc que l'effet observé en bordure soit provoqué par un phénomène de diffraction de Fresnel du rayonnement X incident. Les incidences de cet effet sur les microradiographies de tissue osseux sont envisagées.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurden Projektionsmikroradiogramme bei verschiedenen Anfangsvergrößerungen von in Polymethyl-Methacrylat eingebetteten, 100 μ dicken Knochenschliffen ausgeführt. Die Mikroradiogramme wurden durch Verwendung von Röntgenstrahlen verschiedener Wellenlängen erhalten. Es wurde festgestellt, daß bei bestimmten radiographischen Vergrößerungen die Ränder von Gegenständen, welche normalerweise für Röntgenstrahlen durchlässig sind, stark opak wurden. Es wurde ebenfalls festgestellt, daß die Breite dieses opaken Randes je nach Wellenlänge der aufnehmenden Röntgenstrahlen und je nach Höhe der Anfangsvergrößerung der Aufnahme variierte. Der breiteste Rand wurde bei einer zweifachen Anfangsvergrößerung festgestellt. Die Autoren kommen zum Schluß, daß dieser Randeffekt das Ergebnis einer Fresnel-Diffraktion der eindringenden Röntgenstrahlen ist, welche für die Herstellung von Mikroradiogrammen verwendet werden. Die Bedeutung dieser Beobachtungen für die Einschätzung der Knochenaktivität mittels Mikroradiogrammen wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Abstract Projection microradiographs were made at various initial magnifications of 100 μ-ground sections of bone embedded in polymethyl methacrylate. The microradiographs were produced by using X-rays of different wavelengths. It was found that at certain radiographic magnifications the edges of objects, normally transparent to X-rays, became highly radiopaque. It was also found that the width of this opaque edge varied with the wavelength of the imaging radiation and with the amount of initial radiographic magnification, the latter being greatest at an initial enlargement of two. It is concluded that this edge effect is the result of Fresnel diffraction of the penetrating X-rays, used for the production of microradiographs. The relevance of these observations to the assessment of bone activity from microradiographs is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Bien que la clinique et l'expérimentation semblent démontrer que des doses élevées de testostérone provoquent un arrêt prématuré de la croissance, le mécanisme exact et le lieu précis de son action sur l'appareil de croissance des os longs restent indéterminés. Au cours de cette étude, des rats máles de 200 g sont injectés à l'aide de doses supra-physiologiques de testostérone pour observer les effects sub-microscopiques sur les diverses zones du cartilage épiphysaire. Au niveau de la zone de division cellulaire, on note une augmentation des cellules en division. Les cellules, en voie de maturation, présentent plus de produits de sécrétion, à un stade plus précoce de leur cycle d'évolution, et semblent subir une hypertrophie plus rapide. Dans la zone pré-hypertrophique, la matrice intercellulaire présente des foyers de calcification précoce, ainsi que des fibres collagènes plus longues et plus épaisses que chez les témoins. Il apparait que, chez l'animal entier, des doses même élevées de testostérone provoquent initialement une stimulation de la prolifération chondrocytaire, avant de favoriser les processus de maturation.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Obwohl experimentelle und klinische Erfahrung darauf hinweisen, daß hohe Dosen von Testosteron zu einem frühzeitigen Wachstumsabschluß führen, sind der genaue Mechanismus und der eigentliche Wirkungsort dieses Hormons im Wachstumsapparat der Röhrenknochen unbekannt geblieben. In diesem Experiment wurden 200 g schweren männlichen Ratten supraphysiologische Testosterondosen injiziert, um die submikroskopischen Auswirkungen auf die verschiedenen Zonen des Epiphysenknorpels zu beobachten. In der Zone der Zellmitosen fand sich eine erhöhte Anzahl von sich teilenden Zellen. Die reifenden Zellen häuften im Frühstadium ihres Lebenscyclus größere Mengen von Sekretionsprodukten an und schienen eine abruptere Hypertrophie durchzumachen. In der prähypertrophen Zone enthielt die interterritoriale Matrix Herde von früher und verfrühter Verkalkung, sowie dickere und längere Kollagenfasern als vergleichsweise in Kontrolltieren. Daraus wird geschlossen, daß bei unbehandelten Tieren sogar große Testosterondosen anfänglich eine Stimulation der Chondrocytenproliferation verursachen, bevor sie die Reifungsprozesse veranlassen.
    Notes: Abstract Although experimental and clinical experience indicates that large doses of testosterone lead to premature cessation of growth, the exact mechanism and precise site of action of this hormone on the growth apparatus of long bones remain unknown. In this study, plateaued male rats were injected with supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to observe the submicroscopic effects on the various zones of the epiphyseal cartilage. In the zone of cell division there were increased numbers of dividing cells. The maturing cells accumulated larger amounts of secretory products at earlier stages of their life cycle, and appeared to undergo a more abrupt hypertrophy. In the zone of prehypertrophy, the interterritorial matrix contained foci of early and premature calcification and thicker and longer collagen fibers than at comparable levels in controls. It is concluded that in intact animals, even large doses of testosterone initially cause a stimulation of chondrocyte proliferation, prior to promoting maturation processes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des poulets normaux, âgés de 2 semaines, présentent une condition voisine d'une rachitisme grave, lorsqu'on les soumet pendant 7 jours à un régime pauvre en calcium (0,1%), riche en vitamine D3, et contenant une quantité stable de strontium, équimolaire à 1,2% de calcium. Alors que l'on pensait que le rachitisme induit par le strontium était lié à une inhibition directe de la calcification, il apparait qu'avant toute modification osseuse apparente, le strontium inhibe la production du CaPB induit par la vitamine D3, ainsi que le mécanisme d'absorption intestinale du calcium. Il semble que cet effet du strontium soit lié à sa participation dans le mécanisme normal de la régulation du calcium au cours de la synthèse de CaBP.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Normale, 2wöchige Kücken gerieten innerhalb von 7 Tagen in einen schweren, rachitisänhlichen Zustand, wenn sie eine calciumarme (0,1%0 und Vitamin D3-reiche Nahrung erhielten, welcher kaltes Strontium in einer Konzentration von 2,62% (molaraequivalent mit 1,2% Calcium) zugesetzt wurde. Während man früher vermutete, daß die “Strontium-Rachitis” nur durch eine direkte Inhibition der Verkalkung entstehe, konnte nun gezeigt werden, daß — bevor eine sichtbare Knochenveränderung eintritt — die Vitamin D3-gesteuerte Bildung von CaBP (calciumbindendes Protein) und gleichzeitig der Mechanismus der Calciumabsorption im Darm durch Strontium gehemmt wird. Die gefundenen Resultate weisen auf die Möglichkeit hin, daß dieser Strontiumeffekt auf dessen Interferenz mit dem normalen Mechanismus der Calciumregulation durch die CaBP-Syntheses zurückgeführt werden kann.
    Notes: Abstract Normal 2-week-old chicks, when fed a low-calcium (0.1%), vitamin D3-replete diet containig stable strontium at a level equimolar to 1.2% calcium, developed a severe rachiticlike condition within 7 days. Whereas formerly it was suspected that “strontium rickets” resulted from direct inhibition of calcification only, it was shown that, preceding any detectable bone change, strontium inhibited vitamin D3-induced CaBP production and, simultaneously, the intestinal calcium absorptive mechanism. The results suggest the possibility that this effect of strontium may be due to its interference with the normal mechanism of calcium regulation of CaBP synthesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les glycosaminoglycanes de l'os humain compact du fémur sont identifiés et leur concentration et distribution sont déterminées à partir de cas d'autopsie, d'âges variables, allant du nouveau-né à des sujets de 94 ans. L'absence d'altérations post-mortem des glycosaminoglycanes osseux est déterminée au niveau de l'os fémoral de chien, au bout de 72 heures. Le chondroitine-4-sulfate constitue le glycosaminoglycane majeur de l'os humain: de plus, une fraction mineure semble être constituée par l'acide hyaluronique. Les proportions de glycosaminoglycanes varient inversement en fonction, de l'âge chez des sujets en pleine croissance: mais aucun changement n'est observé plus tardivement. La distribution des glycosaminoglycanes est identique chez les sujets adultes. Seules de faibles différences, concernant cette distribution, sont relevées. Chez les sujets jeunes elles sont, peut-être, liées à des changements de poids moléculaire peu élevés ou au sulfate chondroitine sulfaté, peu élevé et, chez un sujet vieil à une proportion plus grande d'acide hyaluronique.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Glykosaminoglykane aus menschlicher Compacta des Oberschenkels wurden charakterisiert und ihre Konzentrationen und Muster an Autopsien von Menschen verschiedenen Alters (Neugeborene bis 94jährige) festgelegt. Fällungen mit Cetylpyridin und Fraktionierungsmethoden wurden angewendet. Am Hundefemur konnte festgestellt werden, daß sich das Glykosaminoglykanmuster im Knochen bis zu 72 Std post mortem nicht veränderte. Als wichtigstes Glykosaminoglykan des menschlichen Knochens wurde das Chondroitin-4-sulfat identifiziert; dazu wurde ein kleiner Anteil versuchsweise als Hyaluronsäure eingestuft. Die Konzentrationen der Glykosaminoglykane standen in umgekehrtem Verhältnis zum Alter des im Wachstum stehenden Menschen, jedoch wurde nach dessen Abschluß keine Veränderung mehr beobachtet. Das Glykosaminoglykanmuster sieht für alle erwachsenen Menschen ähnlich aus. Nur kleine Abweichungen von diesem Muster konnten bei jungen Menschen festgestellt werden; möglicherweise sind sie auf eine leichte Änderung im Molekulargewicht oder auf eine schwache Sulfatierung des Chondroitinsulfates zurückzuführen. Dies gilt ebenso für einen alten Menschen, dessen Knochen einen höheren Anteil an Hyaluronsäure aufweisen.
    Notes: Abstract Glycosaminoglycans from human femoral compact bone were characterized and their concentrations and patterns were determined in autopsy cases of various ages, newborn to 94 years of age. Cetylpyridinium precipitation and fractionation methods were used. Absence of postmortem changes of bone glycosaminoglycan pattern for as long as 72 hours was checked on dog femoral bone. Chondroitin-4-sulphate was identified as the predominating glycosaminoglycan of human bone; in addition a minor part was tentatively identified as hyaluronic acid. Concentrations, of glycosaminoglycans were inversely related to age in growing subjects, but no change was noted later in life. The glycosaminoglycan pattern had a similar appearance for all of the adult subjects. Only small deviations from this pattern had a similar for young subjects, possibly due to low molecular weight change or low sulphated chondroitin sulphate; and for one old subjects to a higher proportion of hyaluronic acid.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des poulets sont nourris avec une alimentation contenant 0,5% de Ca et 0,5% de Sr, plus diverses concentrations de vitamine D3. La moitié des besoins en calcium pour la croisance corporelle chez le poulet est assurée par le Sr, tant que la concentration en Vitamine D3 est maintenue entre 500 et 1000 ICU/kg de nourriture. Les besoins totaux en calcium pour la croissance ne sont pas couverts par le Sr. Bien que Sr soit incorporé dans l'os lorsque l'alimentation renferme de faibles doses de vitamine D3, le contenu total en cendre, ainsi que le contenu en calcium, sont diminués.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Eine Untersuchung an Hühnern, welche Futter mit 0,5% Ca und 0,5% Sr und verschieden hohen Vitamin D3-Zusätzen erhielten, läßt vermuten, daß die Hälfte des für das Körperwachstum des Huhnes benötigent Ca durch Sr ersetzt werden kann, solange das Vitamin D3 in der Höhe von 500–1000 IE/kg Futter gehalten wurde. Die Gesamtmenge des für das Knochenwachstum benötigten Ca konnte jedoch nicht durch Sr ersetzt werden. Obschon Sr bei niederem Vitamin D3-Gehalt der Nahrung im Knochen eingebaut wurde, waren sowohl der totale Aschegehalt als auch der Calciumgehalt vermindert.
    Notes: Abstract An investigation involving chicks fed diets with 0.5% Ca and 0.5% Sr supplemented with various levels of vitamin D3 suggests that one-half of the Ca requirement of body growth in the chick is met by Sr as long as the vitamin D3 level was maintained at 500 to 1000 ICU/kg foodstuff. The entire Ca requirement for bone growth could not, however, be met by Sr. Even though Sr was incorporated into the bone when low levels of vitamin D3 were fed in the diet, the total ash content, as well as Ca content, was reduced.

In contrast, pyrophosphate infusion caused no significant change in the effects of cyclic 3′5′ AMP infusion upon plasma calcium and phosphate, or upon the urinary excretion of calcium, phosphate, and hydroxyproline-containing peptides.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'effet d'un diphosphonate, EHDP est étudié dans deux systèmes éxpérimentaux chez le rat: une ostéoporose par immobilisation locale et une ostéoporose générale induite par la cortisone. EHDP est susceptible de prévenir la perte osseuse localisée, induite par l'immobilisation chirurgicale de la patte arrière gauche, mais est inefficace à empêcher la perte osseuse par voie générale induite par l'administration de cortisone. L'action majeure de l'EHDP est la production de grandes quantités d'ostéoide: il a peu d'effet sur la résorption osseuse. Le manque de résultats constants dans les deux systèmes suggère que les troubles osseux d'étiologie générale ne peuvent être étudiés par atrophie osseuse locale.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung eines Diphosphonates (EHDP) wurde mit zwei verschiedenen Versuchsanordnungen an Ratten untersucht: lokale Immobilisationsosteoporose und generalisierte, durch Cortison hervorgerufene Osteoporose. EHDP konnte den lokalen Knochenschwund verhindern, der durch die chirurgische Immobilisierung des linken Hinterbeines entstand; es verhinderte jedoch den generalisierten, durch Cortisonverabreichung hervorgerufenen Knochenschwund nicht. Die hervorstechendste Wirkung von EHDP ist die Bildung von großen Osteoidmengen; es scheint auf die Knochenresorption nur einen kleinen Einfluß zu haben. Der Mangel an gültigen Befunden bei beiden Versuchsanordnungen läßt darauf schiließen, daß aus einer lokalen Knochenatrophie nicht auf eine durch generalisierten Knochenschwund charakterisierte Erkrankung extrapoliert werden kann.
    Notes: Abstract The effect of a diphosphonate, EHDP, was studied in two experimental models in the rat: local immobilization osteoporosis and systemic cortisone-induced osteoporosis. EHDP was able to prevent the local bone loss brought about by surgical immobilization of the left hind limb, but was ineffective in preventing the systemic bone loss produced by cortisone administration. The most prevalent action of EHDP is the production of large amounts of osteoid; it seems to have little effect on bone resorption. The lack of consistent findings in both models suggests that systemic bone-losing disorders cannot be extrapolated from local bone atrophy.

Die Fluorescenzintensitäten sowie die Erregungs- (λ max 330 nm) und Emissions- (λ max 395 nm) Spektren waren dieselben wie bei intakten und gelatinisierten Matrices. Die Fluorescenzparameter wurden durch die Hydrolyse nicht verändert. Eine Gelfiltration über Sephadex-G10-Säulen trennte das isolierte Material in 2 Komponenten auf, welche gleiche Fluorescenz- und UV-Absorptionseigenschaften zeigten. Im pH-Bereich zwischen 3,5 und 9,5 war die Fluorescenz unabhängig vom pH. Dialysierversuche sowie Gelfiltrationsexperimente mitden gelatinisierten Matrices zeigten eine starkgefügte Bindung des fluorescierenden Materials mit den Polypeptidketten des Kollagens.
    Notes: Abstract Fluorescent components in bone and dentine were separated from alkaline hydrolysates of their matrices on Sephadex C25 CM cationic exchange columns. The fluorescence levels, and the excitation (λ max 330 nm) and emission (λ max 395 nm) spectra, were the same as those observed in the intact and gelatinised matrices. The fluorescence parameters were unaltered by the hydrolysis procedure. Gel filtration on Sephadex G. 10 columns further resolved the isolated material into two components with the same fluorescence and UV absorption properties. The fluorescence was independent of pH over the range 3.5–9.5. Dialysis and gel filtration studies on the gelatinised matrices indicated a firmly-bonded association of the fluorescent material with the collagen polypeptide chains.

L'absorption de45Ca et85Sr est mesurée et il apparait que les calottes vivantes et mortifiées prennent du calcium au détriment du strontium. Cette action au niveau de l'os vivant à 37°, est généralement plus intense que celle observée au niveau de l'os mortifié ou celle de l'os vivant cultivé à 4°. Cependant cette absorption préférenttielle n'avoisine pas les concentrations prévues par la physico-chimie, ce qui laisse penser que l'action anti-strontium est modifiée par la nature des cristaux osseux et leur environnement.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Calvarien von Kückenembryonen wurden lebend oder nach Abtöten mittels verschiedener Techniken gezüchtet. Die Aufnahme von45Ca und85Sr wurde gemessen, und es zeigte sich, daß sowohl die lebenden wie die toten Calvarien Calcium gegenüber Strontium vorzogen. Die Bevorzugung war im allgemeinen im lebenden Knochen bei 37° höher als im toten Knochen oder im lebenden, bei 4° gezüchteten Knochen. Jedoch erreichte diese Bevorzugung nicht den anhand physikochemischer Überlegungen vorausgesagten Grad. Dies läßt vermuten, daß die Calciumbevorzugung gegenüber Strontium durch die Natur der Knochenkristalle und deren Umgebung modifiziert wird.
    Notes: Abstract Embryonic chick calvaria were cultured alive and after killing by various procedures. The uptakes of45Ca and85Sr were measured and it was found that both live and dead calvaria discriminated against strontium in favour of calcium. The discrimination in live bone at 37° was usually higher than that in dead bone or that in live bone cultured at 4°. However, discrimination did not approach the physicochemically predicted level, which suggests that discrimination against strontium is modified by the nature of the bone crystals and their environment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une nouvelle méthode d'analyse morphométrique au microscope optique de coupes non déminéralisées d'os, qui permet de déterminer l'augmentation de la masse d'os cortical en fonction du temps, est présentée. Cette méthode est basée sur le marquage continu et de longue durée de l'os néoformé par la tétracycline pendant la période expérimentale. En outre, on peut effectuer une comparaison entre la durée de formation d'os nouveau pendant des périodes de contrôle et d'expérience, en administrant une molécule fluorescente différente pendant la période témoin. L'os déposé, pendant cette dernière phase, est ainsi marqué dans une couleur différente. En connaissant les différences de durée de formation entre les deux périodes, on peut préciser le mécanisme d'augmentation de la masse osseuse. Des études expérimentales sur l'influence de l'hormone de croissance sur la masse corticale squelettique de chiens adultes des deux sexes sont présentées comme des exemples de cette méthode.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wird eine neue Methode zur Messung der Zunahme der kortikalen Knochenmasse in Funktion der Zeit beschrieben. Dies geschieht durch morphometrische Analyse von Schnitten undemineralisierten Knochens unter dem Mikroskop. Die Methode stützt sich auf die kontinuierliche Langzeitmarkierung von neuem Knochen mit Tetracyclin während der Dauer des Experimentes. Zusätzlich kann die Geschwindigkeit der Knochenzunahme während der Kontrollperiode mit derjenigen während des Experimentes verglichen werden, indem während der Kontrollperiode eine andere fluoreszierende Substanz verabreicht wird. Somit wird aller Knochen, der während der Kontrollperiode abgelagert wird, in einer verschiedenen Farbe markiert. Die Kenntnis der Unterschiede der Bildungsgeschwindigkeiten zwischen der Kontroll- und der Experimentier-Periode ermöglicht zusätzliche Einblicke in den Mechanismus, durch welchen die Zunahme der Knochenmasse herbeigeführt wird. Als Beispiel für die Anwendung dieser Methode werden experimentelle Untersuchungen über den Einfluß des Wachstumshormones auf die kortikale Skelettmasse bei erwachsenen Hunden beiden Geschlechts angegeben.
    Notes: Abstract A new method is presented by which an increase in cortical bone mass over time can be determined from morphometric analysis of sections of undemineralized bone under the optical microscope. The method depends on the long-duration, continuous labeling of new bone by tetracycline during the experimental period. In addition, a comparison of the rates of new bone formation in the control and experimental periods can be made by administering a different fluorescent molecule during the control period. All bone deposited during the control period is thus labeled with a different color. By knowing the differences in rates of formation between control and experimental periods, additional insight is gained into the mechanism by which the increase in bone mass is produced. Experimental studies on the influence of growth hormone on the cortical skeletal mass in adult dogs of both sexes are presented as examples of the use of this method.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Du collagène d'os compact de mouton est préparé par décalcification dans I'EDTA et à partir de tendons de queux de rats, par extraction dans l'acide acétique et reconstitution dans NaCl. Le dépôt d'apatite dans le collagène osseux de mouton dans une solution de calcification métastable est étudié chimiquement et par microscopie électronique. Le collagène osseux est un bon catalyseur de nucléation pour le dépôt minéral, alors que le collagène de tendons de rat ne l'est pas. Le dépôt minéral du collagène osseux se produit en deux phases cinétiques séparées, une phase rapide de nucléation et une croissance cristalline, donnant naissance à de petits ilots calcifiés et une seconde phase lente de croissance dans des régions ne comportant pas de zones catalytiques. La seconde phase de dépôt minéral paraît être le résultat d'une diffusion inhibée d'ions à travers les fibrilles collagènes alignées, laissant de larges régions de collagène sans minéral, bien que le tampon reste hautement sursaturé. La microscopie électronique permet de penser que les zones de catalyse pourraient avoir un rapport avec la périodicité de 640 Å de collagène, mais l'importance d'un matériel noncollagènique, lié au collagène, n'est pas à exclure. L'activité catalytique faible du collagène reconstitué n'est pas liée à la présence d'inhibiteurs faiblement liés, bien que des inhibiteurs puissent être intimement liés à ce type de collagène, qui pourrait être absent du collagène osseux. La différence d'activité catalytique pourrait intervenir dans la calcification physiologique. Une hypothèse plus générale pour la nucléation de la phase minérale dans les systémes biologiques est nécessaire.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Kollagen wurde aus kompaktem Schafsknochen mittels EDTA-Entkalkung und aus Rattenschwanzsehnen durch Essigsäureextraktion und Rekonstitution mit NaCl gewonnen. Die Apatitablagerung aus einer metastabilen Verkalkungslösung auf Schafsknochenkollagen wurde chemisch und im Elektronenmikroskop untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß das Knochenkollagen ein guter Nukleationskatalysator für die Mineralablagerung ist, was beim Rattenschwanzkollagen nicht zutraf. Im Knochenkollagen erfolgte die Mineralablagerung in zwei getrennten kinetischen Phasen: einer raschen Phase der Nukleation und des Kristallwachstums, welche kleine verkalkte Inseln entstehen läßt, und einer zweiten langsamen Phase, welcher das Wachstum in Bezierken, die keine katalytischaktiven Stellen einschließen, zuzuschreiben ist. Diese zweite Phase der Mineralablagerung wird als Resultat einer verminderten Ionendiffusion durch die enganeinanderliegenden Kollagenfibrillen angesehen, wodurch weite Kollagenbereiche ohne Mineral bleiben, obwohl der Puffer stark übersättigt ist. Elektronenmikrographien ließen vermuten, daß die katalytischaktiven Stellen in einem gewissen Verhältnis zur 640 Å-Periodizität des Kollagens stehen; es konnte jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen werden, daß nicht-kollagenhaltiges Material, welches an Kollagen gebunden ist, ebenfalls eine Rolle spielt. Die schlechte katalytische Aktivität des rekonstituierten Kollagens konnte nicht auf die Anwesenheit von schwachgebundenen Hemmstoffen zurückgeführt werden, obwohl Inhibitoren stark an dieses Kollagen gebunden sein könnten, die jedoch im Knochenkollagen nicht vorhanden sind. Die Unterschiede in der katalytischen Aktivität können mit der physiologischen Verkalkung in Beziehung stehen. Eine allgemeinere Hypothese für die Nukleation einer Mineralphase in biologischen Systemen wäre erforderlich.
    Notes: Abstract Collagen was prepared from compact sheep bone by decalcification with EDTA and from rat tail tendons by acetic acid extraction and reconstitution with NaCl. The deposition of apatite in sheep bone collagen in a metastable calcification solution was studied chemically and by electron microscopy. The bone collagen was shown to be a good nucleation catalyst for mineral deposition, while rat tail collagen was a poor catalyst. Mineral deposition in bone collagen occured in two separate kinetic phases, a rapid phase of nucleation and crystal growth, giving rise to small calcified islands, and a second slow phase, ascribed to growth in regions not involving the catalytic sites. This second phase of mineral deposition is considered to be the result of impaired ion diffusion through the closely-aligned collagen fibrils, thus leaving large areas of the collagen free of mineral even though the buffer remains highly supersaturated. Electron micrographs suggested that the catalytic sites might be in some relationship to the 640 Å periodicity of collagen, but a role for non-collagenous material bound to the collagen has not been excluded. The poor catalytic activity of reconstituted collagen was not due to the presence of loosely-bound inhibitors, although inhibitors could be strongly bound to this type of collagen and be absent from bone collagen. The differences in catalytic activity may have a bearing on physiological calcification. A more general hypothesis for nucleation of a mineral phase in biological systems is required.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'analyse par microsonde électronique, technique récente, a été peu utilisée pour l'étude du tissu osseux. Le rapport molaire Ca/P a été mesuré pour l'os normal et certains os pathologiques. Les résultats sont en accord avec ceux obtenus par les autres méthodes, en particulier la microradiographie. La microsonde électronique permet le dosage du sodium et du magnésium, constituants secondaires de l'os, à l'échelle microscopique. Nos observations mettent en évidence l'hétérogénéité de la distribution de ces éléments: concentration élevée dans l'os jeune (ostéone), moindre dans l'os interhaversien. Ces résultats sont en accord avec l'hypothèse de Neuman de l'absorption des ions sodium et magnésium à la surface du crystal d'apatite.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Mikroanalyse mittels Elektronensonde ist eine neue Technik für die Untersuchung von Knochen; die Bedingungen für eine richtige Interpretation der Resultate werden beschrieben. Das molare Ca/P-Verhältnis wurde in normalen und in drei pathologischen Knochen gemessen. Diese Messungen wurden in verschiedenen Regionen des corticalen Knochens durch-geführt. Die Resultate stimmen mit den durch Mikroradiographie erhaltenen überein. Mikroanalysen mittels der Elektronensonde ermöglichten es, die Verteilung von Na und Mg in den zwischenhaversschen und haversschen Geweben von corticalem Knochen Erwachsener zu untersuchen. Unsere Beobachtungen zeigen die heterogene Verteilung dieser Elemente. In Übereinstimmung mit der Hypothese der Ionen-Absorption an der Oberfläche des Apatitkristalles sind die Konzentrationen in jungen Knochen (Oesteonen) höher.
    Notes: Abstract Electron probe microanalysis is a recent technique for the study of bone and the conditions for the correct interpretation of the results are described. The Ca/P molar ratio was measured in normal and in three pathological bones. These measurements were carried out in different regions of cortical bone. The results are in agreement with the results obtained by microradiography. Microprobe analysis, however, allows the measurement of elements at the microscopic level. Electron probe microanalysis was used to study the distribution of sodium and magnesium in the interhaversian and haversian tissues of adult cortical bone. Observations show the heterogeneity of distribution of these elements. Concentrations are higher in young bone (osteons), in agreement with the hypothesis of ion absorption on the surface of the apatite crystal.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets de divers degrés de rachitisme non compliqué, provoqué par avitaminose D, sur les concentrations, la composition, et l'extractibilité de phospholipides de tissus moux et en voie de calcification ont été étudiés chez le poulet et le porc. Le contenu en phospholipides des tissus en voie de calcification est modifié au cours du rachitisme; cependant, on n'a constaté que peu de changements dans les tissus moux. Les effets quantitatifs sur la concentration en lipides des tissus rachitiques calcifiés varient de zone en zone et semblent indiquer desvariations dans d'autres constituants tissulaires. Cependant les différences qualitatives indiquent un effet direct sur des phospholipides spécifiques. Les phospholipides acides présentent les changements de pourcentage les plus élevés bien que de nombreuses modifications statisstiquement significatives dans les phospholipides neutres ont pu être observés. Les zones stisulaires présentant le plus grand changement de composition phospholipidique au cours du rachitisme, sont constituées par le cartilage hypertrophique et en voie de prolifération et par l'os spongieux, alors que le cartilage calcifié est le moins affecté. Le rachitisme diminue aussi l'extractibilité de certains phospholipides neutres et acides des zones de minéralisation précoce. Ces résultats semblent indiquer la présence, dans le tissu rachitique, de concentrations élevées de phospholipide complexé avec le phosphate de calcium, probablement causé par l'inhibition de la minéralisation normale.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Auswirkung von verschiedenen Graden von Rachitis (verursacht durch Vitamin D-Mangel) auf die Mengen, die Zusammensetzung und auf die Extrahierbarkeit der Phospholipide von verkalkenden und weichen Geweben wurde an Hühnern und Schweinen untersucht. Es wurden verschiedene Wirkungen von Rachitis auf die Phospholipid-Zusammensetzung der verkalkenden Gewebe gefunden, in den weichen Geweben jedoch nur wenige. Der Grad dieser Wirkung auf die Lipid-Konzentration der rachitisch verknöchernden Gewebe änderte sich von Schicht zu Schicht und schien die Änderungen in anderen Gewebebestandteilen wiederzugeben. Die qualitativen Unterschiede zeigten jedoch eine direkte Wirkung auf spezifische Phospholipide an. Saure Phospholipide zeigten den größten prozentualen Unterschied, obgleich zahlreiche statistisch signifikante Unterschiede auch in den neutralen Phospholipiden gefunden wurden. Die Gewebeschichten, welche bei Rachitis die größte Änderung in der Phospholipidzusammensetzung zeigten, waren proliferierender und hypertrophischer Knorpel und spongiöser Knochen, während verkalkter Knorpel die geringste Änderung zeigte. Rachitis verminderte auch die Extrahierbarkeit von gewissen sauren und neutralen Phospholipiden aus den Schichten der frühen Mineralisierung. Diese Ergebnisse weisen auf das Vorhandensein von erhöhten Phospholipidmengen im rachitischen Gewebe hin, welche Calciumphosphat binden; dies wird wahrscheinlich durch die Blockierung der normalen Mineralisierung verursacht.
    Notes: Abstract The effect of various degrees of simple, vitamin D-deficient rickets on the levels, composition and extractability of phospholipids from calcifying and soft tissues was studied in chickens and pigs. A variety of effects of rickets on the phospholipid composition of the calcifying tissues were detected; there was little change in the soft tissues. The quantitative effects on the lipid concentration of rachitic hard tissues were variable from zone to zone and appeared to reflect variations in other tissue constituents. However, the qualitative differences indicated a direct effect on specific phospholipids. Acidic phospholipids displayed the greatest percentage change, although numerous statistically-significant changes were also seen in the neutral phospholipids. Tissue zones displaying the greatest change in phospholipid composition in rickets were proliferating and hypertrophic cartilage, and cancellous bone, with calcified cartilage showing the least effect. Rickets also reduced the extractability of certain acidic and neutral phospholipids from zones of early mineralization. These findings are interpreted as indicating the presence of elevated levels of phospholipid complexed with calcium phosphate in rachitic tissue, presumably due to the blockage of normal mineralization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les protéines-polysaccharides (PP) ont été extraits de la crête iliaque cartilagineuse d'enfants à squelettes normaux, âgés de quelques jours à 16 ans, à l'aide de technique par rupture et par dissociation. L'homogénéisation du cartilage dans l'eau ou l'agitation dans du chlorure de guanidinium permet de recueillir un matériel PP semblable à poids moléculaire élevé. Les extraits aqueux contiennent des quantités considérables de collagène qu'on ne trouve qu'à l'état de trace dans les extraits à la guanidine. Des produits dégradés, probablement liés à l'action d'enzymes protéolytiques, sont obtenus après extraction du tissu avec un tampon phosphate 0,067 M de pH 7,4 à 30°; 0,5 M ou 3,0 M MgCl2 à 10°.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Proteinpolysaccharide wurden aus dem Beckenkamm-Knorpel von Kindern im Alter von wenigen Tagen bis 16 Jahren mit normalem Skelett extrahiert, und zwar sowohl durch Homogenisierung als auch durch Extraktionsmethoden. Die Homogensierung des Knorpels in Wasser ergab Proteinpolysaccharide von hohem Molekulargewicht und gleichen Eigenschaften wie nach Rühren mit Guanidinchlorid. Die wässerigen Extrakte enthielten ansehnliche Kollagenmengen, während in den Guanidinextrakten nur Spuren vorlagen. Abbauprodukte, die wahrscheinlich durch Einwirkung von proteolytischen Enzymen entstanden, wurden durch Extraktion dieses Gewebes mit 0,067 M Phosphatpuffer von pH 7,4 bei 30°, ferner mit 0,5 oder 3,0 M MgCl2 bei 10° gewonnen.
    Notes: Abstract Proteinpolysaccharides (PP) have been extracted from the iliac crest cartilage of skeletally normal children varying in age between a few days and sixteen years, with both disruptive and dissociative methods. Homogenization of the cartilage in water or stirring with guanidinium chloride yielded high molecular weight PP material of similar properties. The water extracts contained considerable amounts of collagen which was present only in traces in the guanidine extracts. Degraded products, probably due to the action of proteolytic enzymes, were obtained by extraction of the tissue with 0.067 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 at 30°; 0.5 M or 3.0 M MgCl2 at 10°.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Deux groupes de rats sevrés sont soumis à une alimentation contenant un excès de zinc, une faible quantité de calcium avec ou sans vitamine D. Deux tiers des animaux dans les deux groupes sont sacrifiés respectivement après cinq et dix semaines, alors que les animaux restants sont soumis à ce régime pendant cinq semaines, puis, pendant les cinq semaines suivantes, reçoivent les régimes correspondants, avex une concentration normale de zinc. Des études histologiques et microradiographiques sont réalisées sur l'humérus et les incisives. L'effet porotique connu des régimes pauvres en calcium et normaux en vitamine D est notablement augmenté avec un excès de zinc. Après avoir ramené le zinc à la normale, la gravité de l'ostéoporose est réduite à celle recontrée au cours de concentration faible en calcium, avec peu d'effet sur la dentine. L'absence de vitamine D, dans les régimes à contenu élevé en zinc et faible en calcium, provoque des changements porotiques et ostéomalaciques des os, alors que le ratrait consécutif de l'excès de zinc provoque une ostéomalacie typique. La dentine est nettement atteinte et des bandes alternantes de tissus bien mal minéralisés sont observées. En ajustant le zinc ingéré à une concentration normale, de larges couches de dentine non minéralisée sont observées avec une bande étroite de tissu minéralisée. En l'absence de vitamine D, l'excès de zinc semble exercer un effet porotique sur l'os et un effet de minéralisation sur la dentine, alors qu'il augmente l'effet porotique au niveau de l'os lorsque la vitamine est présente.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zwei Gruppen entwöhnter Ratten wurden mit Calcium-armen Futter mit oder ohne Vitamin D-Zusatz und einem Zinküberschuß ernährt. Zwei Drittel der Tiere in beiden Gruppen wurden nach 5, beziehungsweise nach 10 Wochen getötet, während die übrigen Tiere dieses Futter während 5 Wochen erhielten und anschließend für weitere 5 Wochen die entsprechende Nahrung mit einem normalen Zinkgehalt bekamen. Die Humeri und die Schneidezähne wurden dann histologisch und mikroradiographisch untersucht. Der bekannte porotische Effekt der Calcium-armen, normal Vitamin D-haltigen Nahrung war bei Zinküberschuß deutlich erhöht. Wurde die Zinkaufnahme zur Norm gebracht, so reduzierte sich der Grad der Porose auf denjenigen, der typisch für niedrige Calcium-Einnahmen ist, mit wenig Wirkung auf das Dentin. Fehlte das Vitamin D in der Zink-reichen und Calcium-armen Nahrung, so entstanden in den Knochen sowohl porotische als auch osteomalazische Veränderungen; nach Absetzen des Zinküberschusses jedoch entstanden typische Anzeichen einer Osteomalacie. Das Dentin wurde stark angegriffen, und es wurden abwechslungsweise Banden von normal und schlecht mineralisiertem Gewebe beobachtet. Wenn die Zinkeinnahme zur Norm gebracht wurde, so entstanden breite Säume von unverkalktem Dentin mit einer schmalen Bande von mineralisiertem Gewebe. Bei Fehlen von Vitamin D scheint der Zinküberschuß eine porotische Wirkung auf den Knochen und eine verkalkende Wirkung auf das Dentin zu haben; dieser Überschuß erhöht den Grad der Knochenporose auch in Anwesenheit des Vitamins.
    Notes: Abstract Two groups of weanling rats were maintained on diets containing an excess of zinc, with low calcium intake and with, or without, added vitamin D. Two thirds of the animals in the two groups were killed after five and ten weeks respectively while the remainder received these diets for five weeks and were then maintained for a further five weeks on the corresponding diets with a normal level of zinc. Histological and microradiographical observations of the humeri and incisors were then carried out. The known porotic effect of low calcium-normal vitamin D diets was markedly increased in zine excess. After adjusting the intake of zinc to normal, the degree of porosis was reduced to that typical of low calcium conditions, with little effect on the dentine. Absence of vitamin D from the zinc-low calcium diet resulted in both porotic and osteomalacic changes in the bones, while subsequent removal of the zinc excess resulted in a condition typical of osteomalacia. Dentine was drastically affected and, alternating bands of poorly and adequately-mineralized tissue were observed. Adjusting the zinc intake to normal resulted in wide seams of unmineralized dentine with a narrow band of mineralized tissue. In the absence of vitamin D, zinc excess appears to exert a porotic effect in bone and a mineralizing effect in dentine, while it also increases the degree of porosis found in bone when the vitamin is present.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Von Ultradünnschnitten gefriergetrockneten, neugebildeten Dentins der Rattenschneidezähne und von glutaraldehydfixierten Proben der Compacta eines 10 Monate alten Kindes wurden — über Fokusreihen — Aufnahmen bei 20000∶1 und 40000∶1 angefertigt. Die gut fokussierten Aufnahmen wurden auf 200000∶1 bis 600000∶1 nachvergrößert; die Ausbildung der Ca-Phosphatkeime wurde in den beiden Zonen (“hole zone” und „overlapping zone”) der Kollagen-64 nm-Periode beschrieben. Ferner wurden die Abstände zwischen den punktartigen Keimen in den Ca-Phosphat-Nadeln und -Ketten beider Zonen vermessen und der Wahrscheinlichkeitsbereich für die Anzahl der Keime pro Zone (und damit pro Makroperiode) bestimmt. Die Punktkeimabstände lagen im Bereich von 4,0–8,5 nm und die Seitenabstände zwischen dicht benachbarten Ca-Phosphat-Nadeln im Bereich von 4,6–8,0 nm (vgl. Fig. 6). Bei Einsetzung der möglichen Fehlerbeträge unserer Bestimmungen (Anzahl der Keime pro Zone) können sich in der “overlapping zone”3–5 und in der “hole zone”6–8 Keime bilden. Diese Ergebnisse setzten wir in Beziehung: a) zur Anzahl der Querstreifen pro 64 nm-Periode im Kollagen, b) zu den von uns vermessenen Abständen zwischen diesen Querstreifen und c) zu den durch erste Sequenzanalysen erhaltenen Ergebnissen über die direkte Nachbarschaft von polaren, bindungsfähigen Aminosäuren im Kollagen. Es fand sich eine gute Übereinstimmung zwischen unseren Ergebnissen bzw. Schlußfolgerungen und den bisher vorliegenden Bestimmungen am Kollagen.
    Notes: Summary The best focussed members of a through focus series of electron micrographs of ultra-thin sections of freeze-dried forming rat incisor dentine and glutaraldehyde-fixed 10 months old human femoral cortex were selected for measurements. The original micrographs were prepared at magnifications of x20000 or x40000 and were photographically enlarged to a magnification from x200000 to x600000. The number of dot-like calcium phosphate nuclei per “hole zone” and per “overlapping zone” of the 64 nm collagen macro-period was determined; we found a range of 6–8 nuclei per “hole zone” and 3–5 nuclei per “overlapping zone”. Thus a total of 9–13 nuclei per 64 nm macro-period was found; this is in agreement with the total number of cross bandings per macro-period reported by previous authors. The distances between neighbouring dot-like calcium phosphate nuclei were measured and found to lie in the range of 4.0 to 8.5 nm, which is the range in which most of the distances between the collagen cross-bandings appear. The distances between close, parallel calcium phosphate rows within the collagen fibres were found to lie in the range 4.6–8.0 nm which seems to be a good deal shorter than the distances between the typical microholes of the Hodge-Petruska collagen model. Our results and ideas concerning the “active sites” of nucleation also are in agreement with previous amino acid sequence analyses in respect of the occurrence of neighbouring polar amino acids which would be free to bind ions.

    Notes: The finite element method is applied to the stability analysis of structural systems subject to non-conservative forces. The development of the method is general, but the specific application considered here is the stability of thin-walled members subject to follower forces. The method predicts the type of instability, whether it be buckling or flutter. Example problems, for which exact solutions are known, illustrate the accuracy and convergence characteristic of the finite element formulation.

    Notes: The application of the finite element rank force method for the dynamic analysis of redundant structures is presented. The applied loading consists of discrete and distributed loads. Both forced and free vibrations are considered, the latter yielding latent vectors corresponding to dynamic redundancies.It is shown that the dynamic properties of an element are given by a static flexibility matrix, an inverse mass matrix, a damping parameter and a displacement vector representing the effect of the applied distributed loading.

    Notes: A stiffness matrix for a finite element having the planform of an annular segment is derived using the displacement approach. Numerical problems involved in the derivation are discussed and rapid convergence to exact solutions is demonstrated on three sample problems. It is concluded that the new element will be of great value to engineers concerned with the analysis of slabs of bridge decks curved in plan.

    Notes: The point matching numerical method and its generalization, the method of boundary point least squares, have been successfully applied to numerous boundary value and eigenvalue problems. The present paper demonstrates the application of these techniques to problems in the micromechanics of fibrous composite materials, i.e. determination of elastic moduli and stress concentrations for parallel-fibre materials which are loaded transversely with respect to the fibres. The solution technique utilizes exact solutions of the governing equations of plane elasticity for each component fibre and its surrounding matrix material in a typical repeating section of the composite material. The continuity conditions for stresses and displacements between fibre and matrix and the repeatability conditions at the boundary of the repeating section are satisfied approximately in a pointwise manner. Some special numerical techniques which were found to be particularly useful in applying the point matching method to these problems are delineated. The method is demonstrated for composite materials having circular, elliptical and square fibres in regular, staggered arrays. Numerical results are given which show the accuracy of the method as well as stress concentration and composite elastic moduli data.

    Notes: This paper discusses the mathematical foundations of a technique that has been used extensively in structural optimization.1-6 Two basic problems are considered. The first of these is the concave programming problem which consists of finding the global minimum of ‘piece-wise concave functions’ on ‘piece-wise concave sets’. Since any function can be approximated by a piece-wise concave function, this method could in principle be used to find the global minimum in non-convex optimization problems. The second one is the piece-wise linear programming problem in which the objective function is convex and piece-wise linear. The iterative method outlined for handling this problem is shown to be much more efficient than the standard simplex method of linear programming.

    Notes: The solution of plate and shell problems by an independent specification of slopes and middle surface displacements is attractive due to its simplicity and ability of reproducing shear deformation. Unfortunately elements of this type are much too stiff when thickness is reduced.In an earlier paper a derivation of such an element was presented1 which proved very successful in ‘thick’ situations. Here a very simple extension is made which allows the element to be economically used in all situations.The improved flexibility is achieved simply by reducing the order of numerical integration applied to certain terms without sacrificing convergence properties. The process is of very wide applicability in improvement of element properties.

    Notes: A system of finite element shell analysis codes, called SABOR/DRASTIC, is used to analyse a complex two-layered shell of revolution under static and dynamic asymmetric loads. The dynamic analysis is compared with experimentally measured response. In this linear elastic analysis, emphasis is placed on the inherent flexibility of the finite element method in modelling the complex structural geometry of a given test specimen. Static studies, which involve variations in important shell parameters, and dynamic studies, which provide a successful correlation with experiment, are used to illustrate both the detail and the generality with which shell analyses may now be performed with confidence.

    Notes: The theory of conjugate approximations1 is used to obtain consistent approximations of stress fields in finite element approximations based on displacement assumptions. These consistent stresses are continuous across interelement boundaries and involve less mean error than those computed by the conventional approach.

    Notes: A unified network-topological approach to the formulation and solution of the analysis and minimum weight design of rigid-plastic structural systems is presented. It is shown that both analysis and design can be formulated using network concepts, but that, in contrast to elastic networks, the formulation results in a mathematical programming problem. Formulations based both on the static and kinematic theorems of plasticity are presented, and it is shown that duality guarantees that the two types of formulation yield identical results. The problem is first formulated on the basis of a simple definition of yielding, and is then generalized to the case where yielding is defined in terms of a yield surface.

It is further shown that the method may be modified to include non-linear equations relating to these problems.Some specific examples of linear and non-linear solutions are given and comparisons are made with another computer method which performs the same tasks.

    Notes: The discrete element displacement method is used to analyse the finite-deflection behaviour of shallow arches. The arches are idealized as assemblies of shallow curved elements and the necessary properties of the displacement patterns in these elements are discussed. Numerical solutions of the geometrically non-linear problem are obtained by directly minimizing the total potential energy of the system.

    Notes: Finite element procedures usually require more degrees of freedom for a specified accuracy than does a classical Ritz procedure if suitable coordinate functions are available. This paper develops a combined global and local dependent variable representation which couples the conventional and finite element Ritz methods. This hybrid method preserves much of the flexibility of the finite element method while increasing the solution accuracy for a specified system order. The method is illustrated by examination of a beam and a plate vibration problem.

    Notes: A quadratic thick shell element derived from a three-dimensional isoparametric element was first introduced by Ahmad and co-workers in 1968. This element was noted, however, to be relatively inefficient in representing bending deformations in thin shell or thin plate applications. The present paper outlines a selective integration scheme for evaluating the stiffness matrix of the element, in which each component of the strain energy is evaluated separately using a different Gaussian integration grid for each contribution. By this procedure, the excessive bending stiffness of the element, which results from the use of me quadratic interpolation functions, is avoided.The improved performance of this element, as compared with the original thick shell element, is demonstrated by analyses of a variety of thin and thick shell problems. Editors' note: A similar development was outlined by O. C. Zienkiewicz and co-workers in lnt. J. num. Meth. Engng, 3, 275-290 (1971). Some important details differ between the two papers which are thus complementary.

    Notes: The conventional central finite difference equations for the plane stress extension of flat plates are derived as a localized Ritz process. A dual differential-variational discretization of this type enables common classification of the finite difference and finite element methods. Also, it provides alternative methods of establishing sufficiency conditions and relative rates of convergence for discrete systems derived from a localized Ritz process, and the existence of solution bounds for discrete systems derived using difference procedures.

    Notes: This paper is concerned with the development of consistent discrete models, via the concept of finite elements, of linear and non-linear electrothermomechanical behaviour of continuous bodies. In the development, general energy balances are utilized to derive equations governing electromagnetic fields over an element and coupled equations of motion and heat conduction of a typical element of the continuum. These equations make it possible to study a general class of field problems involving arbitrary geometries and boundary conditions. Sample problems are included.

    Notes: The dynamic finite element technique, which is referred to in the literature as ‘computer-analysis’, is applied to wave propagation problems occurring in finite and semi-infinite linearly elastic membranes of revolution. Both semi-infinite and finite versions of cylindrical and conical membranes are considered, and a finite membrane having a meridional curve which is parabolic is solved. The source of excitation is generally a constant velocity motion of one end of the membranes, but the results for a stress-pulse input at one end of a semi-infinite cylindrical membrane are also given. The results for the finite membranes are new, and the results for the semi-infinite problems are discussed with respect to previously published results. The two-dimensional state of stress in the membrane requires careful ordering of the calculations, and the boundary conditions for finite membranes are shown to follow logically from this ordering of the calculations. The difference in the solutions resulting from prescribing an axial or a tangential velocity excitation at the end of a conical membrane is presented, and the mesh size necessary for convergence to the solution is indicated. The graphs of the results clearly indicate regions in space and time where the membrane model should be replaced by the shell formulation to represent a realistic structure. The technique is shown to be self-contained and independent of any formal method such as the method of characteristics.

    Notes: The numerical solution of the biharmonic equation in a rectangular domain is presented in the context of continuous dynamic programming techniques. The equations are specialized to the solution of elastic rectangular plates. A suitable approximate expression of a certain functional equation containing derivatives only in one direction is used to derive equations for the stiffness and flexibility matrices of the plate. It is shown that those matrices satisfy matrix Riccati equations subject to suitable initial conditions. It is also shown that the condition of optimality in the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation directly expresses a classical variational principle, i.e. the principle of complementary energy. Some numerical examples are finally presented.

    Notes: The paper presents an analysis of the response of plastic spherical and cylindrical shells subjected to loads applied through a rigid boss. Special emphasis is placed on following the load-deflection behaviour of these structures after the application of the yield-point load in order to predict the appearance of any snapping action.The method of analysis assumes that upper bound calculations are applicable and that the associated velocity fields can be represented by a series of piecewise continuous polynomials. The internal dissipation of energy for the structures are then written in terms of the coefficients of these polynomials and the values appropriate to the solution are found by using a non-linear programming routine.The results of this analysis are correlated with a non-dimensional boss size parameter p and compared with the results of experimental investigations. Mention is also made of the possible effects of initial imperfections.

    Notes: A study of bending of plates for small deformations by applying the finite element method is presented in this paper.A new class of displacement functions has been developed for rectangular bending elements. For the first time a method is proposed for the derivation of displacement functions in which trigonometric expressions that had apparently failed to yield satisfactory results in earlier attempts can be used along with polynomial terms.The derivation leads to conforming type of displacement functions which satisfy the convergence criterion. The approach also demonstrates how many more new displacement functions can be found.

    Notes: This paper describes a search procedure for finding the unconstrained maximum or minimum of a function of many independent variables. If this function represents the volume, cost, stiffness, etc. of a structure and each of the independent variables is associated with a parameter governing the geometry of the structure then designs of optimum geometry may be made in certain cases with the assistance of this search procedure. The procedure consists of steepest gradient calculations used in conjunction with a reverse Fibonacci location process. A ridge-following technique is included to speed convergence in addition to localized exploration in the region of an optimum.The search procedure has been programmed for computer use and an outline of its structural design applications is presented together with an example of its efficiency in a specific case.

    Notes: Using the finite element method, a detailed study of the deformations and stresses produced in an elastic-perfectly plastic half-space indented by a rigid sphere was done. The analysis covers the transition region from the maximum elastic contact load to a state where this load has been increased one hundredfold. Experimental results available in the literature are in good agreement with the analysis. In solving repeatedly the large number of linear equations involved in the solution of the problem, it was found profitable, in order to save computer time, to modify the direct elimination method. This technique is described in some details in the paper.

    Notes: The convergence of nodal displacements obtained by the finite element method is investigated for special element patterns in plane elasticity with the aid of the differential equation derived from the equilibrium condition at each node. The convergence of strains is also discussed. It is shown that averaging is an effective tool for obtaining approximations to strain for some kinds of mesh arrangement. It is also shown that the approach becomes inaccurate along force boundaries.

    Notes: A refined axisymmetric curved finite element for the analysis of thin elastic-plastic shells of revolution is described in the paper. The improved element is obtained by employing cubic polynomials in terms of local Cartesian co-ordinates for the assumed in-plane and out-of-plane displacements. This introduces into the solution two internal degrees of freedom in the cord direction of each element. These internal degrees of freedom are removed by static condensation before assembling the individual element stiffness matrices, and are subsequently recovered after the nodal displacements are obtained. On comparison with the previous formulation, this procedure greatly improves the accuracy of the solution especially with regards to in-plane stress-resultants at discontinuities in the meridional curvature and interelement equilibrium of forces. The latter fact makes it possible to analyse shells with a discontinuous meridional slope. In using this element, improvement in the convergence of the elastic-plastic solutions has also been observed.Several examples illustrate the quality of solutions. The reported study is limited to axisymmetric loadings cum boundary conditions.

    Notes: A computer orientated method is presented which generates meshes of triangular elements in plane and curved surfaces. Depending on geometrical and material variations, the region to be discretized is divided into a number of four sided zones. By using curvi-linear co-ordinate systems, nodes within and on the boundary of each zone are automatically positioned and referenced to a global Cartesian co-ordinate system. Elements are automatically assembled from these nodes. Input data is required to specify the positions and material properties of each zone and how they are connected. Examples are given which illustrate the range of meshes that can be generated. Extension of the method to generate three-dimensional tetrahedral elements is indicated.

    Notes: A finite element technique is used to determine the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of a cantilever plate mounted on the periphery of a rotating disc. The plane of the plate is assumed to make any arbitrary angle with the plane of rotation of the disc. The distributed centrifugal force is resolved into two components - one acting in the plane of the plate and the other normal to the plate. The stresses produced in the middle surface of the plate due to the in-plane forces are first determined. The increase in the bending stiffness of the plate elements due to these in-plane stresses is obtained in a manner similar to that used in the stability analysis of plates. The component of the distributed centrifugal force normal to the plate surface is added to the inertia force.From the results of computations carried out for various values of the aspect ratio, the speed of rotation, the disc radius and the setting angle, empirical formulae are derived giving the effect of these parameters on the natural frequencies. These empirical formulae are observed to be in agreement with the corresponding known formulae for rotating cantilever beams, when the aspect ratio is high.

    Notes: It has long been recognized that permeability, compressibility and viscosity vary during the consolidation of soil. However, the introduction of these variations into consolidation theory leads to formidable difficulties due to their rendering the equations highly non-linear. Numerical methods are given herein which enable the governing equation to be solved for a variety of different non-linear laws.

    Notes: The simultaneous iteration method of obtaining eigenvalues and eigenvectors is employed for the solution of undamped vibration problems. This method is of significance when a few of the dominant eigenvalues and eigenvectors are required from a large matrix, and hence is particularly suitable for vibration problems involving a large number of degrees of freedom. It is shown that advantage may be taken of both the symmetry and the band form of the mass and stiffness matrices, thus making it feasible to process on a computer larger order vibration problems than can be processed using transformation methods. A method of allowing for body freedom is given and some numerical tests are discussed.

    Notes: The general eigenvalue problem Ax = λBx as arising from vibration problems tackled by the finite element method is often solved by the economization method in which the two matrices are reduced to a more manageable size and approximate answers are obtained.This paper analyses the method in a more mathematical way than previous accounts and leads to a definition of the optimum set of variables to be retained during the reduction. An extension to the method is suggested which allows the approximate eigenvalue to be improved and bounds are obtained on the eigenvalues of the full problem before reduction.An estimate is made of the calculation involved in the method and it is concluded, by reference to examples, that the extended method leads to a more efficient algorithm.

    Notes: A technique is described for solving the compressible flow equations in subsonic flow. The general quasi-linear equation ∇.g∇v = 0 is considered with g a function of ∇v. ∇v, and iterations of the form ∇.gn∇vn+1 = 0 are analysed, where g0 is suitably chosen and gn defined from vn for n≥1. This approach is applied to the compressible flow equations in terms of a velocity potential ø: monotonic convergence is predicted and at each iteration the error is multiplied by a factor less than the square of the greatest Mach number in the solution.Reliable convergence has been obtained in practice solving the linear equation for øn+1 by a finite difference method. The alternative of working in terms of the stream function ψ is discussed, and also discretization by the finite element method.

    Notes: A method of analysis is presented for two structures which have connections with clearance. It is assumed that the behaviour of the structures is described, by the movement of discrete nodes and that as the load on the structure changes, clearances open or close between corresponding nodes on the structures; each time this occurs the stiffness of the combined structure changes because its configuration has changed. Between these changes, the structure will behave linearly and the overall behaviour can be described as piecewise linear. Applications include diesel engine crankshafts with bearing clearances and the wrap-around problem in pin-and-eye connections.

    Notes: A solution is presented for the computation of the transient thermoelastic stresses in a hollow cylinder with temperature boundary conditions given as a circumferential variation of surface heat transfer coefficient. The temperature distribution is solved explicitly. The problem is set up using the Airy stress function which leads to the biharmonic equation. This approach requires the satisfaction of three Michell integrals at the inner boundary in order to ensure single-valued displacements and rotation. An iterative method is described in which these integrals are all simultaneously satisfied and thus provide the necessary non-zero boundary conditions for the solution of the biharmonic equation which is rapidly solved by Gaussian elimination. Results are presented for the general case where the temperature is a function of r and θ. The computer program is checked by assuming a constant value of the surface heat transfer coefficients. In this case a closed form solution is obtained.

    Notes: The Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method of solving a set of simultaneous linear equations requires an estimate of the spectral radius of the matrix. Dividing each equation by the corresponding row sum of moduli of the elements of the matrix gives a convenient upper bound of unity to this. This note shows that the DR method then gives a faster asymptotic rate of the convergence than the degenerate Chebyshev method which it closely resembles.

    Notes: A computer program is described for the analysis of plates in extension using the equivalent plane-framework idealization. The conjugate gradient method is adopted to solve the resulting large number of simultaneous equations. Performance figures are quoted for the program when used on an ICL KDF9 machine with a restriction of 18K on the available core store. The method is generally shown to provide a satisfactory solution to a heavy computational task and thus permits the solution of very large structural systems on a small computer.

    Notes: An important limitation of finite element analysis, namely, the need for a large number of small elements in regions of finite or infinite stress concentrations and the difficulties of convergence in such cases, is well known. Rao1 suggested a possibility of overcoming this by developing hybrid techniques combining continuum and finite element concepts. In such techniques, each region of stress concentration is covered by one large ‘primary element’ whose description includes term(s) identifying the type and order of concentration, while the remaining structure is split into a few ‘secondary elements’ which are conventional finite elements. In this paper a procedure incorporating this concept is developed and its effectiveness is clearly demonstrated by successful application to two important examples, one of them with stress singularities. The concept, in fact, can be applied equally well to other two- and three-dimensional problems of continua with discontinuities and concentrations.

    Notes: The analysis is aimed at determination of displacements in elastic-perfectly plastic frames, in the case of monotonically increasing loads. Spread of partial plasticity from hinges and change of geometry on the conditions of equilibrium are not included. Extremum energy principles and linear programming methods are employed to solve the problem. Both the kinematic and the static formulations of the problem are presented. The mathematical models of the formulations constitute a dual pair of linear programming problems.

    Notes: In convection heat transfer problems, it is convenient to solve the governing differential equations by using straightforward marching techniques for numerical integration. However, the boundary layer equations in these heat transfer problems are not of the initial value type even though they are parabolic equations. Consequently marching techniques are not successful until correct initial values are known. A means of determining these initial values is presented herein. Selected optimization methods are utilized in conjunction with marching integration techniques to solve third- and fourth-order ordinary differential equations which have three unknown initial boundary conditions. Two optimization methods, one deterministic and the other non-deterministic in nature, are used both independently and in combination as determined by the particular circumstances. Two applications are used to demonstrate the technique and comparison is made with existing solutions.

    Notes: Within the supraesophageal ganglion of polynoids is a vertical fiber tract which has the appearance of a “Y” in transverse sections of the brain, and contains the axons of many neurosecretory cells. The granule-filled terminals of these neurosecretory fibers are found at the base of the tract where they are in contact with the inner surface of the sheath covering the ventral surface of the brain. This sheath separates these neurosecretory endings from an underlying pericapsular epithelium which is thicker in this region. Beneath this pericapsular epithelium is a coelomic sinus. The dorsal blood vessel is located within this sinus and is “innervated” by a pair of fiber bundles that pass out of the brain at the base of the vertical fiber tract. The outer surface of the vessel is covered by epithelioid cells which contact these fiber bundles and the thickened pericapsular epithelium, and sometimes contain granular cytoplasmic inclusions. The lumen of the vessel is continuous with the lumina of a pair of cellular, thickwalled structures of unknown function which are attached to the ventro-lateral margins of the brain. The relationship between neurosecretory endings, enlarged pericapsular cells, coelomic sinus and blood vessel provides morphological evidence for the hypothesis that these structures are elements of a neuroendocrine system, similar in some respects to the brain-infracerebral gland complex of nereid and nephtyid polychaetes.

    Notes: Gross details of the reproductive cycle and the cytology of oogenesis were studied in 155 egg clutches produced by 69 captive individuals of the triploid parthenogenetic lizard Cnemidophorus uniparens. The mean clutch cycle lasted 23 days. The mean number of ova per clutch was 3.3, and the mean number of oocytes per right and left ovaries was 1.65 and 1.70, respectively. Comparison of the size of the oocytes at ovulation (9-10 mm) with the estimated mean duration of vitellogenesis (8.8 days) gave an average of approximately 1 mm yolk deposition per day. The mean time for the retention of eggs in the oviducts was 9.3 days. The germinal disc of the oocyte consists of a series of layers formed by the arrangement of various cytoplasmic and yolk particles in the polar region. In a mature oocyte the germinal vesicle is located immediately below the vitelline membrane and lies at the center of the germinal disc. The germinal vesicle is characterized by a dense disc-like cluster of diplotene chromosomes. Diplonema extends until near ovulation when the oocytes have attained a size of about 9 mm. Diakinesis and metaphase I occur rapidly and immediately prior to ovulation. Counts of approximately as many bivalents as there are somatic chromosomes were obtained from oocytes at diakinesis and metaphase I.The second division occurs almost immediately before or at the precise moment of ovulation. The chromosomes of the first polar body consist of dyads, of which there are as many as the triploid number of 69. A metaphase II plate obtained in polar view also revealed dyad chromosomes, of which there were approximately as many as the triploid somatic number. The second telophase is normal as evidenced by formation of the second polar body. Chromosomes from the opposing telophase plates show a monad structure. The presence of as many bivalents in the first division as the triploid somatic number of 69 indicates that the 3N condition of C. uniparens was doubled prior to meiosis. This is further supported by the occurrence of two maturation divisions each giving rise to a polar body, by the dyad structure of the chromosomes in the first polar body and the second metaphase, and by the presence of monochromosomes at telophase II. Thus, parthenogenesis in these lizards is of the meiotic type. The somatic number of chromosomes is doubled early in oogenesis presumably by a premeiotic endoduplication, and the 3N level is restored by two subsequent maturation divisions.

    Notes: Two specimens of a group of five foetuses, 35-37 mm in total length, of Squalus acanthias were serially sectioned and stained. These specimens were studied for the purpose of testing statements made in the literature, especially by Holmgren ('40), regarding cell sources and skeletal development. Many of Holmgren's results were confirmed with some important differences in detail. Limited blastemas of dermal bones were not evident although a diffuse subepidermal blastema was present in certain areas. There is evidence of delamination addition to the jaws and many parts of the endocranium. Although the trabecula is in part of visceral origin, the visceral material does not represent an infrapharyngohyal since it always has been an integral part of the endocranium, never a formed element of the arch. The same applies to the pharyngo region of the hyoid arch. The pharyngohyal tissue forms the area of articulation of the hyomandibula and the lamina hypotica. Thus a typical lateral commissure is not formed and the resulting otic capsule-basicranial association is unique to the elasmobranchs. The hyomandibula is the epihyal and there is no evidence of a symplectic in this group. The jaws appear to incorporate delamination tissue, associated in teleostomes with dermal bone, in addition to the neural crest proper.

    Notes: The ontogeny of amphicoelous vertebrae was studied in Ptyodactylus hasselquistii and Hemidactylus turcicus, and that of procoelous vertebrae, in Sphaerodactylus argus. The embryos were assigned arbitrary stages, drawn to scale, and mostly studied in serial sections.Resegmentation occurs as in all amniotes. A sclerocoel divides each sclerotome into an anterior “presclerotomite” and a denser posterior “postsclerotomite.” Tissue surrounding the intersegmental boundary forms the centrum, which is intersegmental. Tissue around the sclerocoel builds the intervertebral structures, which are midsegmental. In the trunk and neck, postsclerotomites form neural arches, and presclerotomites build zygapophyses.The adult centrum consists of the perichordal primary centrum, plus neural arch bases (= secondary centrum). Between the latter and the arch proper, a neurocentral suture persists until obliterated in maturity. A dorso-ventral central canal persists on either side of the primary centrum, between the latter and the secondary centrum.The notochord becomes true cartilage midvertebrally in all vertebrae, and elastic cartilage intervertebrally in the posterior caudal region. Elsewhere its characteristic tissue persists.Intervertebrally, cervical hypapophyses, caudal chevrons and chevron-bases in the trunk are preformed early in cartilage. Directly ossifying median intercentra are added later in all regions.The first cervical presclerotomite is absent: the hypapophysis (= corpus) of the atlas consists exclusively of postsclerotomitic tissue, there is no proatlas, and the odontoid lacks the apical half-centrum present in other lepidosaurians.In the autotomous caudal region presclerotomites are as prominent as postsclerotomites. Both build neural arches, the two arches of each vertebra remaining distinct and ossifying separately, so that the intersegmental autotomy split persists between them.The last sclerotome is complete, its postsclerotomite forming a half centrum which ossifies.In Sphaerodactylus, while the vertebrae ossify, each intervertebral ring becomes concave anteriorly, convex posteriorly; it remains as a cushion between the condyle and a facet formed by differential growth of the centra. Thus these procoelous centra resemble the amphicoelous centra of Ptyodactylus and Hemidactylus, rather than the procoelus centra of other squamates.The vertebral column of Gekkonoidea closely resembles in its development and microscopical structure that of Sphenodon.
