    Notizen: Abstract We report our results on the ultrastructure of 21 ependymomas and establish the following diagnostic criteria: 1. Glycogen is the most frequently encountered criterion, followed by desmosomes, cilia, basal bodies and microvilli. Fifteen tumors had 3 or more of these features. 2. The allegedly typical nuclear pattern was found in only 6 cases. 3. Special ultrastructural features seen include basement membranes in a mid-thoracic ependymoma. Furthermore we propose the hypothesis that glycogen might be involved in cilia assembly.

    Notizen: Summary Broad bean (Vicia faba) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) includes three circular plasmids: mt-plasmid 1 (1,704 ntp), mt-plasmid 2 (1,695 ntp) and mt-plasmid 3 (1,476 ntp). Partially replicated circular forms of these mt-plasmids have been observed in electron microscope preparations. Restriction enzymes that cleave either mt-plasmid 2 (but not mt-plasmids 1 and 3) or mt-plasmid 3 (but not mt-plasmids 1 and 2) were used to generate linear forms of partially replicated mt-plasmid 2 and mt-plasmid 3 molecules. Analyses of these linearized replicative intermediates, observed by electron microscopy, indicated that in both mt-plasmid 2 and mt-plasmid 3 replication originates at a specific location and proceeds in the same, single direction around the molecules. The replication origins of mt-plasmid 2 and mt-plasmid 3 map close to sequences that can fold into hairpin structures.

    Notizen: Summary Peripheral neuroectodermal tumours (PNET) of bone are rare and mimick those seen in soft tissue (peripheral neuroepithelioma of soft tissue). Their differential diagnosis from Ewing's sarcoma (Es) is extremely difficult by optical means. Here we report 14 new cases of PNET of bone (other than Askin's neoplasm) located primarily in the limbs, pelvic girdle and scapula. Clinically and radiologically they displayed Ewing's sarcoma-like features: mean age was 14.4 years, male/ female ratio being 3:11. Metastasis was present in 6 cases at diagnosis (5 with bone metastasis). Prognosis was poor; thirteen patients died; only one with a metatarsal located tumour is alive and free of disease. The mean survival rate was 25 months following diagnosis and treatment with radio- and multimodal chemotherapy. Histologically the 14 cases displayed Homer-Wright rosettes and pseudorosette-like structures, as well as a fibrillary background and lobular pattern. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity in a number of neural markers when using paraffin-embedded material: NSE, B-2-microglobuline, HNK-1 (leu-7) and E-36 antibodies. At EM level the cell cytoplasms evidenced dense-core granules with neurosecretion, neurotubules and intermediate filaments like those seen in peripheral neuroepithelioma.

    Notizen: Summary The type, differentiation and histogenesis of the tumor cells of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) have been analyzed in a series of ten cases by a light-microscopic, ultrastructural, immunohistochemical and cytologic investigation and quantitative DNA analysis. Four tumors deviated from ordinary ASPS: three were wholly or partly of the so-called pleomorphic variant of ASPS and a fourth tumor showed calcifications of the psammoma body type. The ultrastructural findings and immunohistochemical demonstration of desmin supported the hypothesis of a rhabdomyomatous differentiation and gave no support to epithelial (negative immunoreactions for cytokeratins, epithelial membrane antigen, HMFG-1 and -2, tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA)) or neuroectodermal (negative for S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, neurofilaments) differentiation. The negative immunoreactions for vimentin and myoglobin and the positive reaction for neuron specific enolase (NSE) do not exclude a rhabdomyomatous differentiation since in rhabdomyosarcomas the undifferentiated rhabdomyoblasts generally contain vimentin and the differentiated tumor cells contain myoglobin and rhabdomyosarcoma has previously been reported as being positive for NSE. The production of external lamina material peripherally in the tumor cell nests and around vessels in the vascular septa was demonstrated both ultrastructurally and by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against collagen IV and laminin. The cytologic appearance in smears obtained by fine-needle aspiration from a case of the pleomorphic variant showed some resemblance to that of a carcinoma. The seven tumors with an ordinary cell appearance were found to show a diploid DNA-distribution at a quantitative analysis performed on paraffin sections, while the three tumors wholly or partly of the pleomorphic type showed an additional tetraploid peak.

    Notizen: Summary Three cases of HL from the lateral border of the tongue of male homosexual AIDS patients were investigated by thin section electron microscopy. Keratinocytes contained condensed chromatin in their pyknotic nuclei and a few organelles in the oedematous cytoplasm. Chromatin was in close association to the nuclear membrane and showed a punched-out appearance. Particles typical of the herpes virus group were abundant in the upper two thirds of the epithelium in all three cases. Virus particles were seen frequently in the nuclei of the ballooned keratinocytes, but rarely in cells containing Candida albicans. Viral nucleocapsids were observed budding at the inner nuclear membrane, thereby acquiring the prospective viral envelope. Complete, enveloped virions were found in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the extracellular space. These virions were identified immunohistochemically as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using two monoclonal antibodies directed against EBV capsid and membrane antigen, respectively. Candida albicans was observed in the stratum corneum and in the upper layer of the stratum spinosum. Special cytoplasmic tubular structures arranged in parallel bundles were found in koilocytotic cells in addition to characteristic membrane structures composed of undulating convoluted membranes. Epithelial basement membranes were always intact.

    Notizen: Summary Morphometric studies were carried out on five ultrastructural measures of size or quantity of some of the intracellular organelles in monoblasts obtained from six patients diagnosed as having acute monoblastic leukaemia and also on monocytes from six normal controls. The morphometric measures were analysed using a one way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to see whether acute monoblastic leukaemic cells differed from those of normals. It was found that there was a highly significant decrease both in the surface to volume ratio of mitochondria and also in the surface to volume ratio of the nucleus. The possible physiological significance of these structural changes is stressed.

    Notizen: Summary The reports concerns the light microscopical and ultrastructural findings obtained in three conventional osteosarcomas with an unusually high admixture of clear cells, whose presence appeared to be responsible for the marked change in the histological pattern of these tumours. In the tumours with a prevailing fibroblastic component the clear cells were either irregularly scattered throughout the tumour in the form of small groups, or they formed large groups sharply demarcated against the fusicellular areas of the tumours. In two cases it was shown that their cytoplasm contained exaggerated glycogen deposits accompanied by the formation of glycogen-containing phagolysosomes and occasional empty vacuoles. In the third case the clear cells showed vacuolar degeneration with numerous single-membrane-bound, empty vacuoles. In contrast to the clear-cell chondrosarcoma we did not find S-100 protein in clear cells of our osteosarcomas. Such findings could be particularly significant in the differential diagnosis of bone tumours.

    Notizen: Summary In this study, light microscopic and ultrastructural morphometric features of oncocytomas and null cell adenomas were compared and the morphometric data were correlated with in vitro endocrine activity. All tumours were unassociated with clinical or biochemical evidence of hormone excess and were diagnosed as oncocytomas or null cell adenomas, using histology, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. In oncocytomas, when compared with null cell adenomas, light microscopic morphometry revealed that total cell areas were significantly larger and nuclear cytoplasmic ratios were smaller due to an increase in cytoplasmic areas. Ultrastructural morphometry disclosed an abundance of mitochondria in oncocytomas. Absolute volumes of cytoplasmic organelles per cell were not reduced in oncocytomas compared with those of null cell adenomas. These results indicate that accumulating mitochondria do not replace other cytoplasmic organelles, and furthermore that the functional potential of oncocytomas is not lost. In vitro study demonstrated the production of pituitary hormones, primarily gonadotropins in oncocytomas and null cell adenomas. It can be concluded that oncocytomas, which represent the final stage of oncocytic transformation, have a close relationship with null cell adenomas based on morphometric comparison as well as in vitro studies.

    Notizen: Summary Small cell carcinoma with the histological appearance of pulmonary small cell carcinoma is a rare tumour in the urinary bladder. In previous case reports the neuroendocrine nature of small cell bladder carcinoma has been accepted, but on review the evidence for true neuroendocrine differentiation appears unsatisfactory. In this study the histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural characteristics of three cases of small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder are described. Ultrastructurally, the cytoplasm of all three tumours contained neurosecretory-type granules and each of the tumours demonstrated positive immunoreaction for two or more neuroendocrine markers, from a panel including neuron-specific enolase, chromogranin A, Leu-7, bombesin and synaptophysin. Although the combination of ultrastructural and immunohistochemical examination obviously offers the strongest evidence in establishing neuroendocrine differentiation, it is argued that immunohistochemistry alone may also yield important information in demonstrating a neuroendocrine nature, provided that at least neuron-specific enolase and synaptophysin are included as markers. The clinical relevance of identifying neuroendocrine differentiation in small cell bladder carcinoma is suggested by the favourable response to combination chemotherapy in two of our cases.

    Notizen: Summary A tumor arising in the pituitary fossa and having some of the histological and ultrastructural features of a recently described tumor, purportedly originating from the folliculo-stellate cells of the anterior pituitary, is presented. The results of our ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies, however, favored a meningeal origin and suggested that the neoplasm was most likely a secretory meningioma.

    Notizen: Summary Infusion of hypertonic solutions into the carotid artery is one method by which the blood-brain barrier (BBB) can be opened transiently in experimental animals. This technique has also been tried in clinical situations in which an enhanced uptake of intravenously injected chemotherapeutic drugs into the brain is desired. We have previously found that infusion of hypertonic mannitol or urea into the carotid artery of the rat, leading to a BBB opening, is associated with light microscopic signs of cellular damage in the brain parenchyma. An electron microscopic study has now been made to obtain more detailed information about the events taking place in the rat brain 1 to 72 h after an intracarotid infusion of hyperosmolar solution of mannitol. Toluidine blue-stained semithin epon sections were also available for high-resolution light microscopy of brain samples from urea-infused animals. Intravenously injected Evan's blue dye was used to confirm that BBB opening had occurred as a consequence of the carotid infusions. The infused hemispheres had numerous structural changes. The dominating light microscopic alteration was the presence of multifocal lesions in the gray or the white matter with closely packed microvacuoles causing status spongiosus. Ultrastructurally the microvacuoles corresponded to very pronounced watery swelling of astrocytic processes and to a minor degree to expansion of dendrites and axons. There was also a light or moderate perivascular astrocytic swelling. In the “spongy” lesions as well as occasionally in non-vacuolated parts of the cerebral cortex, there were collapsed electron-dense neurons with pronounced mitochondrial alterations such as severe swelling associated with rupture of christae. Rats with a survival period of 24 h or 72 h showed several disintegrating neurons and accumulation of macrophages. This study shows that carotid infusion of hypertonic mannitol in the rat may cause pronounced neuronal changes as well as multifocal astrocytic swelling. The severity of the nerve cell changes and the presence of macrophages indicate that some of the alterations are irreversible and thus, such a procedure may not be as safe as previously suggested.

    Notizen: Summary The brain lesions in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) are characterized by multifocal microvascular and spongy-cystic parenchymal alterations particularly in the gray matter. An essential feature of the lesions is the presence of edema with massive extravasation of plasma constituents as evidenced by specific gravity measurements, Evans blue technique and immunohistochemistry. The nerve cell injury occurring in the brain lesions in SHRSP is further characterized by light and electron microscopy in the present study. Two types of neuronal changes were seen within the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage sites. A small number of neurons with dark condensed nucleus and cytoplasm were found most often at the periphery of recent lesions. The majority of injured neurons were pale and showed intracellular edema confined to the dendrites and perikarya sparing axons and synapses. Their nuclei were weli preserved with finely dispersed chromatin. The swollen and watery cell processes of neurons and astrocytes gave a spongy appearance to the neuropil. The intracellular edema seemed to result in cytolysis. The results suggest that primary anoxiaischemia is not the major pathogenetic mechanism behind the nerve cell injury in severely hypertensive SHRSP, rather it is the massive BBB leakage and consequent brain edema that causes cytolytic destruction of neurons. Secondary focal ischemia as a consequence of occlusion in microvessels may, however, contribute to the nerve cell destruction.

    Notizen: Summary The isthmic nucleus (IN) of the frog brain forms a linkage, relaying visual information from one tectum to the other. It receives afferent input from the tectum of the same side and projects bilaterally to both tecta. The ultrastructural features of the tecto-isthmic synaptic connections were studied in young postmetamorphic Xenopus frogs. Most synaptic profiles in the isthmic nucleus have spheroidal vesicles and an asymmetric zone of apposition. Frequently, synaptic glomeruli consisting of up to 8 terminal boutons surrounding a shaft dendrite were observed. The syanptic density in the rostral IN was slightly higher than in the middle or caudal portions. Partial deafferentation by transection of the tectoisthmic pathway or total deafferentation by removal of the tectum was followed by a widespread degeneration of terminals in the ipsilateral IN. In the former case, the density of synapses in the IN decreased initially by about 64%, and then increased by 30 days after operation to about 50% of the normal synaptic density. After tectal removal, all the terminal boutons in the isthmic neuropil degenerated by 3 days after operation. These studies, along with recent findings, indicate that most, if not all, of the afferent fibres to IN are of tectal origin.

    Notizen: Summary The fine structure of neuronal somata and axosomatic synapses in each subnucleus of Gudden's tegmental nuclei was studied by use of electron microscopy. The pars principalis of the ventral tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TVP) is composed of oblong or triangular, medium sized neurons (11.8x22.6 μm, 211.4 μm2) containing many mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, and rough endoplasmic reticulum composing Nissl bodies. The light oval nucleus with a prominent nucleolus is centrally situated, and indentations of its nuclear envelope are recognized in all neurons. The neuron in the pars ventralis of the dorsal tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TDV) is similar to that in the TVP, but its average size is significantly smaller (10.0x18.8 μm, 151.4 μm2), and its organelles are also less well developed. The pars dorsalis of the dorsal tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TDD) is composed of spindle shaped, small neurons (6.9x16.2 μm, 85.1 μm2) characterized by their irregular shaped nucleus with its invaginated envelope. These neurons have a thin rim of cytoplasm, poorly developed organelles and no Nissl bodies. The average number of axosomatic terminals in a sectional plane is 9.9 in the TVP, 9.6 in the TDV and 2.6 in the TDD, and the bouton covering ratio is 24.3% in the TVP, 26.5% in the TDV and 7.4% in the TDD. The respective percentages of round, flat and pleomorphic type axosomatic terminals were estimated, and the flat type terminals were found to be dominant in the TVP, the pleomorphic type terminals in the TDV, and the round type terminals in the TDD.

    Notizen: Summary Kittens were subjected to lumbosacral dorsal rhizotomies at the age of 6–8 days postnatally. After postoperative survival times of 1–25 days the number of non-neuronal cells and lipid droplets in each cell type in the posterior funiculus at L1 were counted at the ultrastructural level. Intact control animals were analyzed in the same way. The number of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes decreased with increasing postoperative survival time in the degenerating zone. This was also the case in the white matter of control animals with increasing age of sacrifice. However, in the degenerating zone of operated animals the decrease was more extensive for oligodendrocytes starting at 5 days after surgery, and possibly also for astrocytes at 25 days postoperatively. The number of microglial cells in the degenerating zone was markedly increased 2–10 days after surgery compared to the controls. The number of non-pericytic perivascular cells seemed to be somewhat increased from 9 days after surgery, while the number of pericytes remained unchanged during the experimental period. Lipid droplets in the degenerating white matter were mainly located in microglial cells and astrocytes and only to a small extent in nonpericytic perivascular cells. These findings suggest that lipid material produced during anterograde fiber degeneration in the immature white matter is mainly metabolized in glial cells.

    Notizen: Summary Early cleavage stage embryos (day 1 p.c.) and morulae (day 3 p.c.) of rabbits were exposed to visible (standard) lighting (1600 lx) and room (standard) temperature (23°C) during a 24 h in-vitro culture. Control embryos were cultured in darkness at 37°C. Development was assessed by light and electron microscopy as well as by the cytochemical demonstration of glycogen. In day 1 and day 3 embryos standard temperature induced swelling of the SER and Golgi complex vesicles. Major changes in day 1 embryos consisted of smallish microtubules-like crystalloids, and in day 3 embryos of unusually large SER vesicles. In both embryonic ages cleavage rate and development was more retarded by standard temperature than by standard lighting. Standard lighting, however, led to distinct signs of degeneration and cell death. The mode of cell damage seemed to be different in light exposed early cleavage stages and morulae: In day 1 embryos cytoplasmic degeneration was predominant while the majority of cells in day 3 embryos died by apoptosis. Despite clear indications of cell damage, cleavage rate was not notably impaired compared with non-exposed controls. Glycogen increased during development from cleavage stages to early blastocysts. The distribution was not changed either by exposure to standard temperature nor by standard lighting. The results demonstrate that day 1 embryos were clearly more susceptible to lighting whereas day 3 embryos were more affected by temperature. The mode of damage exerted by both the physical environmental factors was different. Reduction to standard temperature interfered mainly with the organization of the cytoskeleton and intracellular transport of organelles, while exposure to standard lighting led to cell degeneration and death.

    Notizen: Summary In addition to “external” signals conveyed by the circulation or the nervous system, the pancreatic islets obviously are regulated also by “internal” (intra-islet) signals, e.g. by the islet hormones: insulin (B-), glucagon (A-), and somatostatin (D-) cells are able to affect the secretion of the heterologous cell types. It is, however, unclear whether this functional cooperation between islet cells occurs by an intercellular route (paracrinia sensu strictore), by intraislet “portal” vessels, or by the systemic circulation. These likely interactions are limited by islet anatomy. To identify the anatomical basis for the mutual functional relationships between the islet cells, islets of Langerhans in the rabbit pancreas were completely analyzed in immunostained serial semithin (0.5 μm) sections. The islets were found to be largely heterogenous. They were classified in three basic types: a) polycellular islets, composed of all established endocrine cells, and including two subtypes of islets, b) bicellular islets, containing only B- and A-cells or B- and D-cells, and c) monocellular islets, exclusively made up of B-cells. Concerning the modes of paracrine regulation of islet cells, the findings suggest primarely an endocrinous route of transport of the islet peptides to heterologous endocrine cells. The corresponding functional cooperation between islet cells probably is mediated rather by the systemic circulation than by intra-islet portal vessels.

    Notizen: Summary The morphology of the rat placenta was studied after exposure to cadmium chloride during pregnancy, using optimal fixation conditions. In contrast to previous observations, no differences were observed after cadmium administration in relative volume densities of trophoblastic tissue, maternal lacunae, fetal capillaries and connective tissue, nor in trophoblastic thickness or other morphometric features. At the ultrastructural level, the amount of glycogen in trophoblast layer II was elevated in cadmium exposed rats, but other electron microscopic features (amount and localization of lipid, degenerative vesicles, thickness and general appearance of the trophoblastic and endothelial layers and thickening or multiplication of the basal lamina) were not changed. Results obtained from the present experiments do not support the suggestion that cadmium is responsible for structural changes in the placentae of human smokers.

    Notizen: Summary Ultrathin sections of plastic-embedded rat cerebella were incubated with an antiserum against conjugated taurine and subsequently treated with a secondary antibody coupled to colloidal gold. The density of gold particles in various cellular profiles was calculated with the assistance of a computer. In the cerebellar cortex the highest density was found in the somata, dendrites, and dendritic spines of the Purkinje cells, supporting parallel light-microscopical observations in postembedding stained semithin sections from the same tissue blocks. The remaining profiles could be divided into three groups according to their immunolabelling intensity, in descending order: 1) somata and processes of granule and Golgi cells; 2) somata and processes of stellate, basket, and glial cells, and 3) mossy fiber terminals. In a representative experiment, the structures in the first and second groups showed gold particle densities in the range of 19–25%, and 4–11%, respectively, of that in the Purkinje cell somata (values corrected for background) whereas the particle density in the mossy fiber terminals was not significantly above background level. In the cerebellar nuclei, taurine-like immunoreactivity was concentrated in terminals that typically established symmetric or intermediate type contacts with weakly labelled dendrites and cell bodies. These terminals, which shared the ultrastructural features of Purkinje cell terminals, showed an average gold particle density that was about 60% higher than that of the Purkinje somata. For specificity control, ultrathin sections containing a series of different amino acid conjugates were incubated in the same drops of sera as the tissue sections. The highly selective labelling of the taurine conjugate indicated that the distribution of gold particles in the tissue was not confounded by crossreactivity with GABA, glutamate or other common amino acids but adequately reflected the distribution of fixed taurine. For additional control of specificity, the taurine antiserum was applied to the soluble fraction of a rat brain extract separated by thin layer chromatography. In this system the taurine antiserum stained a single spot that comigrated with free taurine. The present results suggest that all cell types and processes in the rat cerebellum (with the exception of the mossy fiber terminals) contain taurine. However, the concentration of taurine appears to vary considerably among the different cell types and may also differ between different parts of the same neuron.

    Notizen: Summary A stable population of intraspinal Schwann cells, which developed follwing early postnatal irradiation of the spinal cord, was challenged by the addition of tellurium (Te) to the diet beginning at 30 days of age. Schwann cells incorporating [3H]thymidine were identified by 1 μm autoradiographs and by conventional electron microscopy of adjacent thin sections. Autoradiographs of areas with Schwann cell myclination showed extensive labelling of cells in the Te-fed animals. In contrast, control animals which were not fed Te showed little evidence of labelled Schwann cells. These data indicate that Schwann cells in the intraspinal environment show a proliferative response to the presence of Te in the rat's diet, as do Schwann cells in their normal extraspinal milieu.

    Notizen: Summary Electron microscopic examination of a spinal meningioma demonstrated broad zones with large amianthoid collagen fibers in the tumor. Normal native collagen fibrils were found in small scattered clumps particularly around the blood vessels in the tumor. Such abnormal large collagen fibrils have not been seen previously in meningiomas. The significance of the amianthoid fibers is unknown. The only other unusual feature of the tumor was that it had many pale-staining cells by light microscopy and was classified as a clear cell variant of meningioma.

    Notizen: Summary Nerve biopsies were performed in four patients with suspected chloroquine induced neuromyopathy. Three of the patients were treated with high doses of chloroquine for connective tissue disease, while one patient was taking this drug as malaria prophylaxis. Morphological studies demonstrated the presence of segmental demyelination and remyelination in all cases. Cytoplasmic inclusions were observed in Schwann cells, in perineurial and endothelial cells, and in some interstitial cells. They were never observed within axons. Occasional curvilinear profiles were seen in perineurial and Schwann cells. Perineurial calcifications were observed in two cases. The results of this morphological study suggest that chloroquine neuropathy is essentially due primary involvement of Schwann cells.

    Notizen: Summary This is obviously the first report on a case with a spontaneous sensu strictu relapsing variant of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related polyneuropathy. Its manifestation preceded LAS. Intrathecal HIV-antibodies developed between the most severe third and fourth episode. Analysis of sural nerve biopsy was consistent with a multifocally accentuated chronic inflammatory demyelination, characterized by unusual onion bulb-like Schwann cell formations with irregular voluminous layers, electron density, aggregation of filaments, multiple indented nuclei, and numerous enclosed collagen pockets. A direct or immune-mediated indirect specific influence on Schwann cell morphology by HIV might be discussed. Virus-like particles and ultrastructural markers of HIV were not detectable.

    Notizen: Summary We have studied an unusual, spontaneous, intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumor in 12 dogs. Animals presented with paraparesis and ataxia early in life (11/12 ranged from 6 to 38 months of age) suggesting that these tumors may be congenital. Various breeds of dogs were represented with four cases in German Shepherds and three in retrievers; there was no sex predisposition. Post-mortem examinations revealed a single intradural mass consistently located between T10 and L2, which produced extensive compression of the spinal cord. Metastasis was never observed and significant pathological changes in other organs were lacking. Microscopic examination revealed solid sheets of ovoid to fusiform cells interspersed with areas of acinar and tubular differentiation. Some areas were rarified and focal squamous metaplasia was observed. Ultrastructural features included the presence of a continuous basal lamina, junctional complexes, microvilli and occasional cilia at the apices of acinar complexes. Immunocytochemical studies did not support a neurectodermal origin. At least 13 case reports of this entity have been previously published and have been designated ependymomas, medulloepitheliomas and neuroepitheliomas. A recent case was diagnosed as a nephroblastoma and we feel that this is an interesting and provocative diagnosis. These tumors could result from remnants of renal primordium which becomes trapped between the dura and the developing spinal cord. However, firm evidence of such a histogenesis is not yet at hand.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of neurofibrillary tangles of Zlzheimer's disease was analyzed by computerized digital processing of electron micrographs. Processing of the electron micrographs consists of four steps: digitizing the electron micrograph, Fourier transformation, noise filtering and inverse Fourier transformation and Laplacian operation. In the present study, we have confirmed that neurofibrillary tangles are composed of a pair of helical filaments (PHF), which appear characteristically as an unbranched rigid structure. The periodicity of PHF is 78nm on the diffractogram. The dimensions of PHF obtained by our analysis, although basically similar to those described earlier by other investigators using conventional techniques, more precisely defines its structural conformation. We have also demonstrated that the spatial relationship of two filaments appears symmetrical after two-way tilting of the specimen about the axis of rotation. Our observations emphasize the importance of digital image processing as an effective tool for structural analytical research in biology and medicine.

    Notizen: Summary Skin tissue specimens, obtained from 60 patients afflicted with a diverse range of lysosomal disorders revealed two groups of lesions within dermal axons, largely unmyelinated ones, particularly within axonal terminals: (1) non-specific mitochondria and dense bodies often enlarging the axonal terminal; and (2) disease-specific lysosomal residual bodies, the latter less frequent depending on the incidence and type of lysosomal disorders, i.e., largely only seen in GM2-gangliosidosis due to hexosaminidase A deficiency and mucolipidosis IV, while the spectrum of lysosomal residual bodies in Schwann cells appeared more variegated, especially due to the occurrence of vacuolar lysosomal residual bodies which were never seen within axons. The most frequent location of abnormal intraaxonal constituents in terminal axons indicates a functionally and morphologically impaired retrograde axonal transport but provides no further evidence as to whether the respective parent nerve cell body has also accumulated lysosomal residual bodies. When studying biopsied skin specimens for diagnosis, axonal terminals beneath the epidermis, about sweat glands, and among smooth muscle cells, ought to be incorporated into a comprehensive electron microscopic examination.

    Notizen: Summary Substance P-immunoreactive boutons were examined in the electron microscope in sections of the rat neostriatum that contained retrogradely labelled striatonigral neurons and/or Golgi-impregnated medium-size densely spiny neurons. The postsynaptic targets of the immunoreactive boutons were characterized on the basis of ultrastructural features, their projection to the substantia nigra and/or their somato-dendritic morphology. Substance P-immunoreactive axonal boutons formed symmetrical synaptic specializations. Of a total of 233 randomly identified synaptic boutons 72.5% made contact with dendritic shafts, 15% with dendritic spines and 10.7% with perikarya. The ultrastructural characteristics of some of the postsynaptic neuronal perikarya were consistent with their identification as striatal interneurons. Similarly, the observation of some of the substance P-containing terminals in contact with spines, spine-bearing dendritic shafts and perikarya with the ultrastructural characteristics of medium-size densely spiny neurons suggested that one of the targets of substance P-positive terminals are striatal projection neurons. Direct evidence for this was obtained in sections from rats that had received injections of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with wheatgerm agglutinin in the substantia nigra. The perikarya of retrogradely labeled striatonigral neurons were found to receive symmetrical synaptic input from substance P-positive boutons. Ultrastructural analysis of Golgi-impregnated medium-size densely spiny neurons, some of which were also retrogradely labeled from the substantia nigra, demonstrated directly that this class of neuron was postsynaptic to the substance P-immunoreactive boutons. The combination of Golgi-impregnation with substance P-immunocytochemistry made it possible to study the pattern or topography of the substance P-positive input to medium size densely spiny neurons. The substance P-containing boutons made contact predominantly with perikarya and dendritic shafts. This pattern of input is markedly different from that of other identified inputs to medium-size densely spiny neurons.

    Notizen: Summary Putative cholinergic axons and synaptic endings were demonstrated in the substantia nigra (SN) of the rat by light and electron microscopy on the basis of the localization of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity. The distribution of ChAT immunoreactivity in the SN as demonstrated by light microscopy revealed a modest network of ChAT-immunoreactive beaded axons in the SNc, in comparison to a relatively sparse distribution in the SNr. These axonal profiles were most dense in the middle of the rostral-caudal extent of the SNc and appeared to be concentrated in the middle third of the medial-lateral extent. By electron microscopy, unmyelinated, small diameter (0.25 μm) ChAT-immuno-reactive axons were observed interspersed among numerous other non-immunoreactive axons in the SNc. ChAT-immunoreactive synaptic endings were observed in juxtaposition to small caliber (0.5 μm) non-immunoreactive dendrites, and contained numerous spheroidal synaptic vesicles and occasional mitochondria. Synaptic contact zones were characterized by an accumulation of synaptic vesicles along the presynaptic membrane, and a prominent postsynaptic densification producing an asymmetrical pre-/postsynaptic membrane profile typical of excitatory synapses. These findings provide direct evidence for a cholinergic innervation of the SN, and suggest that this input may have an excitatory effect on neuronal elements in the SNc.

    Notizen: Summary The effect of peripheral nerve transection on the size of the microglial cell population in cytoarchitecturally distinct regions of the spinal cord dorsal horn of rats was evaluated at selected intervals 2 through 35 days after unilateral brachial plexotomy. The identification of cells was verified by electron microscopic examination of a representative random sample of cells included in the counts. Microglial cell numbers were increased in laminae I, II as well as the arbitrarily defined deeper laminae 3.5 days after surgery. Although microglial cell numbers in laminae I were within normal range 35 days after axotomy, those of the more ventrally located laminae remained significantly greater than control values for the duration of the experimental period. These findings demonstrate that: 1) microglial cell proliferation in the dorsal horn is an early event in the central changes that are attendant to peripheral nerve injury 2) the time course of the response varies in cytoarchitecturally different regions.

    Notizen: Abstract Using the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin persistant functional and morphological changes were induced prenatally in the rat kidney. After 6 days of s.c. treatment (110 mg gentamicin/kg body wt) from day 10 to 15 of pregnancy complete resorption was noticed in 8 of the 14 treated animals. Fifty-three newborn were obtained from six dams. One year later only 26 rats (16 male, 10 female) were still alive. The systolic arterial pressure of the female offspring was significantly increased (139±15 mm Hg versus 112±9 mmHg) compared with controls. No statistically significant effect could be noticed in the male offspring (128±5 mm Hg versus 118±21 mm Hg). Corresponding results were obtained from analysis of urea plasma concentrations. Another cohort of pregnant rats received daily injections of gentamicin from day 15 to 20 of pregnancy (110 mg/kg body wt s.c.). In this group 59 newborn from a total of 109 died within the first 5 days after birth. Six litters were observed postnatally. One year after birth the following blood pressure values were determined: 122±4 mm Hg (male) and 132±17 mm Hg (female). Urea plasma concentrations were significantly higher in female, but not in male, offspring. Light and electron microscopic inspection revealed pathological changes in the kidneys of the female offspring only. The degree of maternal kidney damage — which shows considerable variations — was monitored during the treatment period. For this purpose the plasma gentamicin and urea concentrations were measured on 3 days of treatment in all of the pregnant animals. The postnatal data (mortality, blood pressure, and urea plasma concentrations) show a correlation to the degree of maternal kidney impairment.

    Notizen: Summary The third case of adult-onset rod disease (nemaline myopathy) with abundant myofibrillar as well as intranuclear rods is described. The 61-year-old woman suffered from progressive weakness of proximal extremities and of the neck, mimicking polymyositis. Muscle biopsy revealed a striking myopathic pattern, with intranuclear rods occurring in 31% of the fibres. On light and electron microscopy and by immunohistochemical study, the rods differed from myofibrillar rods. The absence of α-actinin in intranuclear rods suggests an enhanced readiness of actin filaments to bind to diverse proteins, instead of overproduction of α-actinin as the pathogenetic basis of the rod formation.

    Notizen: Abstract We have investigated the in situ location of glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase and 2-htdroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase in Acidaminococcus fermentans using the antibody-gold and protein A-gold techniques carried out as a post-embedding immunoelectron microscopic procedure. Polyclonal antisera were raised in rabbits against homogeneous fractions of the enzymes. Anaerobically grown cells of A. fermentans of the late exponential growth phase were fixed with 0.2% glutaraldehyde and 0.3% formaldehyde (final concentrations) in the growth medium. Dehydration of the cells was achieved with methanol. The cells were embedded in the low temperature embedding resin Lowicryl K4M. The markers indicative for antigenic sites of the two enzymes unequivocally demonstrate that the sodium pump glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase is located at the cell periphery being a membrane-bound enzyme as expected whereas 2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase is a soluble cytoplasmic enzyme.

    Notizen: Abstract The intermediary production of elemental sulfur during the microbial oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds has frequently been reported. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, an acidophilic chemolithoautotroph, was found to produce an insoluble sulfur compound, primarily elemental sulfur, during the oxidation of thiosulfate, trithionate, tetrathionate and sulfide. This was confirmed by light and electron microscopy. Sulfur was produced from sulfide by an oxidative step, while the production from tetrathionate was initiated by a hydrolytic step, probably followed by a series of chemical reactions. The oxidation of intermediary sulfur was severely inhibited by sulfhydryl-binding reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, by the addition of uncouplers or after freezing and thawing of the cells, which probably damaged the cell membrane. The mechanisms behind these inhibitions have not yet been clarified. Finally, it was observed that elemental sulfur oxidation by whole cells depended on the medium composition. The absence of sulfate or selenate reduced the sulfur oxidation rate.

    Notizen: Summary The structure of mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) from sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) has been studied by biochemical methods and electron microscopy. It was found to be complex multipartite consisting of two main classes of molecules: high molecules weight (HMW) mtDNA and low molecular weight (LMW) mtDNA. The HMW mtDNA consists of rosette-like structures and globules resembling chromomeres (150–200nm). A typical rosette has a protein core and radially stemming closed DNA loops (from 0.6-1.5 μm). The number of loops in a rosette varies from 16–30. The bulk of HMW mtDNAs are represented by interconnected rosettes (total contour length about 130–160 μm, 403–496 kbp). Such large circular DNAs may be evidence of the master chromosome arrangement of the sugarbeet genome. Globules and rosettes are interconnected by thick and thin DNA fibrils, along which nucleosome- and nucleomere-like structures are distributed. The LWM mtDNA is composed of two groups of supercoiled circular molecules, 0,2–1.5 μm and 0.02–0.05 μm in size. Electrophoretic analysis demonstrated that LWM mtDNA is represented by minicircle plasmid-like DNA molecules of 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 kbp.

    Notizen: Summary Mitochondrial (mt) plasmid-like DNA was found in most of more than 100 rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) by the use of 0.7% agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE). The DNA varied in molecular weight and number. By electron microscopy, small circular DNAs of different sizes could be detected in addition to the DNAs of high molecular weight, even in cultivars in which mt plasmid-like DNA was not detected by AGE. The detection of the mt plasmid-like DNAs by AGE did not depend on their presence or absence, but on their high stoichiometry. The relationship between cytoplasms with mt plasmid-like DNAs and varietal (for example, Indica rice) groups was close. The geographical distribution of cytoplasms is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary The presence of 28 kDa calbindin in human odontoblasts was studied by use of specific antibodies raised against chick duodenal 28 kDa calbindin, in immunofluorescence, immuno-peroxidase, and electron-microscopic labelling experiments. The calbindin-like protein was detected mainly in the cytoplasm of odontoblast cell bodies, in their processes and occasionally in their nuclei. Correspondingly, at the ultrastructural level, immunoreactive material was associated with the cytosol, microfilaments and cilia. These findings suggest that human odontoblasts express a 28 kDa vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, unlike those of rats and mice in which ameloblasts are the only cells immunoreactive for the protein.

    Notizen: Summary We have studied follicular dendritic cells (FDC) in lymph nodes of normal and thymus dysgeneic nude mice depleted of B-cells by chronic treatment with anti-IgM antibodies. We found that B cell depletion was accompanied by the absence of mature FDC as defined morphologically at the ultrastructural level. Only precursor FDC (p-FDC) could be demonstrated. Upon release of B-cell suppression, the repopulation of lymph nodes with B-cells was associated with the reappearance of fully differentiated FDC in primary follicles of nude mice and in secondary follicles of T-cell competent mice. We conclude that mature B-cells and/or B-cell products are required for the development of mature follicular dendritic cells in the mouse lymph node.

    Notizen: Summary It has been suggested that orthogonal arrays of particles may increase the rigidity of plasma membrane, as does cholesterol. Therefore, using freeze-fractured non- pigmented ciliary epithelium, the distribution of such arrays was compared to the distribution of membrane deformations induced by the sterol-probes filipin and digitonin in different domains of the basolateral plasma membrane. The distribution of orthogonal arrays of particles was homogeneous between different regions of the basolateral membrane of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium, while the number of filipin-induced alterations was nearly 4 times higher in the membrane domains not in contact with the basal lamina than in domains in contact with it. Contrary to the homogeneous distribution of arrays, digitonin-induced deformations also differed markedly in these two basolateral membrane domains. Considering that a marked positive response to sterol probes implies a high sterol content, we conclude that orthogonal arrays of particles can occur in plasma membrane regions well-provided with cholesterol and not in direct contact with the basal lamina. Other possible roles of these arrays are discussed.

The immunoreaction of Enk-8 was visualized as goldtoned silver particles and that of substance P as diaminobenzidine reaction products. Axonal terminals with immunoreactive substance P, and also unlabeled axonal terminals, formed synaptic junctions with the perikarya and dendritic processes of Enk-8-containing neurons. Dendritic profiles immunolabeled for substance P were synaptically linked with unlabeled axons but not with Enk-8-positive ones. Furthermore, it was found that Enk-8 axons and substance P axons terminated synaptically in juxtaposition to one another on the same immunonegative dendrites. Among the Enk-8-containing neurons axonal profiles also appeared to be synaptically associated with immunoreactive Enk-8 dendritic processes.

    Notizen: Summary Ventral thoracic neurosecretory cells (VTNCs) of the blowflies, Calliphora erythrocephala and C. vomitoria, innervating thoracic neuropil and the dorsal neural sheath of the thoracico-abdominal ganglion have been shown to be immunoreactive to a variety of mammalian peptide antisera. In the neural sheath the VTNC terminals form an extensive neurohaemal network that is especially dense over the abdominal ganglia. The same areas are invaded by separate, ut overlapping serotonin-immunoreactive (5-HT-IR) projections derived from neuronal cell bodies in the suboesophageal ganglion. Immunocytochemical studies with different antisera, applied to adjacent sections at the lightmicroscopic level, combined with extensive cross-absorption tests, suggest that the perikarya of the VTNCs contain co-localized peptides related to gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK), bovine pancreatic polypeptide (PP), Met- and Leuenkephalin and Met-enk-Arg6-Phe7 (Met-enk-RF). Electron-microscopic immunogold-labeling shows that some of the terminals in the dorsal sheath react with several of the individual peptide antisera, whilst others with similar cytology are non-immunoreactive. In the same region, separate terminals with different cytological characteristics contain 5-HT-IR. Both 5-HT-IR and peptidergic terminals are localized outside the cellular perineurium beneath the acellular permeable sheath adjacent to the haemocoel. Hence, we propose that various bioactive substances may be released from thoracic neurosecretory neurons into the circulating haemolymph to act on peripheral targets. The same neurons may also interact by synaptic or modulatory action in the CNS in different neuropil regions of the thoracic ganglion.

    Notizen: Summary The serotonergic innervation of the genital chamber of the female cricket, Acheta domestica, has been investigated applying anti-serotonin (5-HT) immunocyto-chemistry at both light- and electron-microscopic levels as well as using conventional electron microscopy. Whole mount and pre-embedding chopper techniques of immuno-cytochemistry reveal a dense 5-HT-immunoreactive network of varicose fibers in the musculature of the genital chamber. All of these immunoreactive fibers originate from the efferent serotonergic neuron projecting through the nerve 8v to the genital chamber (Hustert and Topel 1986; Elekes et al. 1987). At the electron-microscopic level, 5-HT-immunoreactive nerve terminals, which contain small (50–60 nm) and large (∼ 100 nm) agranular vesicles as well as granular vesicles (∼100nm), contact the muscle fibers or the sarcoplasmic processes without establishing specialized neuromuscular connections. In addition to the 5-HT-immunoreactive axons, two types of immunonegative axons can also be found in the musculature. By use of conventional electron microscopy, three ultrastructurally distinct types of axon processes can be observed, one of which resembles 5-HT-immunoreactive axons. While the majority of the varicosities do not synapse on the muscle fibers, terminals containing small (50–60 nm) agranular vesicles occasionally form specialized neuromuscular contacts. It is suggested that the 5-HTergic innervation plays a non-synaptic modulatory role in the regulation circular musculature in the genital chamber of the cricket, while the musculature as a whole may be influenced by both synaptic and modulatory mechanisms.

    Notizen: Summary The morphology of atrial-specific granules, which contain atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP), was studied in the cardiac tissue of untreated controls and water-deprived rats by means of conventional and immunoelectron microscopy. Immature secretory vesicles or granules appeared to become buded off from the Golgi cisternae and then fused to form specific A-granules. An electron-dense plate with a fuzzy coat was frequently found on the limiting membrane at the end of such fusion. Pale specific B-granules, which were less electron-dense, larger, and more granular than A-granules, were found in small numbers in the left atrial cardiocytes, but rarely in the right ones. Very pale granules with a less granular matrix, considered to be B-type granules which had lost their electron-density, and which had less immunoreactivity for ANP, were numerous in the cardiac tissue after water deprivation. This morphological change, which is interpreted as an indication of granule degradation, was in agreement with the noted increase of natriuretic activity in the atrial tissue of water-deprived specimens.

    Notizen: Summary The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the basement membrane structure of chick embryonic skin cultured in a chemically defined medium (BGJb) containing 20 mM hydrocortisone, and EGF at 10, 50, or 100 ng/ml supplemented with 5% delipidized fetal calf serum, was examined by electron microscopy. During development of the epidermis in vitro, EGF (100 ng/ml) caused striking changes to occur in the basement membrane structure and in the keratinization process. The basement membrane frequently became discontinuous with many gaps apparent in section, and occasionally became folded following detachment from the basal surface of the epidermis and protruded into the underlying dermis. In the basal and intermediate cells of EGF-treated epidermis, tonofilament bundles were decreased in number, while desmosomes and hemidesmosomes revealed no significant changes in morphology.

    Notizen: Abstract We have studied the influence of granulocyte labelling with commercially available 111In-oxine, tropolone (trop) or home made 111In-Mercapto pyridine (Merc) prepared by the method of Thakur (1985) on the cell structure by electron microscopy and on the cell function by enzymatic tests, random migration, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and bactericidal activity. The granulocytes were labelled with 400 μCi 111In-oxine in saline or 111In-trop or Merc in plasma. The effect of the chelating agents with and without addition of the tracer was studied (n=4) with varying concentrations: 5–10 μg/ml oxine, 10–160 μg/ml trop and 1–4 μg/ml Merc. Chemotaxis and random migration were not affected by 111In-trop and clearly supressed by 111In-oxine and Merc; the other tests were normal. The cell structure was disturbed by Merc. The labelling efficiency was excellent with oxine (90%), acceptable with trop (30%–80%) and poor with Merc (10%–25%). Without 111In, chemotaxis and random migration were normal up to a concentration of 80 μg/ml trop, 8.5 μg/ml oxine and 1 μg/ml Merc. With addition of 111In, chemotaxis and random migration were unaffected up to 80 gmg/ml by trop and markedly supressed by Merc and oxine. It is concluded that labelling with 111In-trop assures intact cells.

    Notizen: Summary Light microscopic investigations of whole organ serial sections of 15 laryngectomy specimens with supraglottic carcinomas and comparative electron microscopic studies of the upper and lower poles of the tumors were carried out. The ultrastructure of different poles of the same supraglottic tumors was investigated and showed a more progressive fibrillogenesis with an activation of the connective tissue elements of the border on the lower pole of the malignancy. A significant role is attributed to the barrierforming feature of activated connective tissue with respect to the inhibition of the extension of tumor into the glottic region.

    Notizen: Ammonia and deuterated ammonia chemical ionization (CI) mass spectra and collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) mass spectra of ammonium adduct ions are presented for ten trichothecenes. The samples were introduced by direct exposure probe. Effects of ion source temperature and pressure on the ammonia CI gas plasma and the formation of the ammonium adduct ion were studied. The CI conditions were optimized to produce a maximal yield for the ammonium adduct ion of trichothecenes, i.e. the parent ion for tandem mass spectral analysis. Besides source temperature and pressure, proton affinity and the stability of the ammonium adduct ion affect the relative abundance ratio of [M + H]+:[M + NH4]+ in ammonia CI and CAD mass spectra. The ratio [M + H]+:[M + NH4]+, and hence the stability of the ammonium adduct ion, are largely determined by the functional groups (hydroxy, carbonyl, acetoxy, and isovaleroyloxy) and their location in the trichothecene nucleus. The most abundant fragment ions in the ammonia CI spectra and the most abundant daughter ions in the CAD spectra of the ammonium adduct ions are formed by the losses of ammonia and functional groups as neutrals in various combinations.

    Notizen: The reaction of an aminoxyl and the corresponding hydroxylamine with silylating agents is studied in detail. The gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis of the products is consistent with the production of an unsaturated product when an alkyl group with exchangeable hydrogens is attached to the nitrone group. The structure of this compound is confirmed by deuteration. It is concluded that aminoxyls themselves do not derivatize wth silylating agents.

Most of the prostaglandins studied have additionally been 2H-labelled at different sites in order to assign the corresponding fragment ions. Collisionally activated decomposition mass spectra of the most intense parent ions in the high-mass region were taken. High-intensity, prostaglandin-characteristic daughter fragments will allow a reliable quantification of prostaglandins in biological fluids and a reduction of sample clean-up.

    Notizen: A highly sensitive (subpicomole level) and structural specific method for the analysis of arachidonic acid esterified to complex glycerophospholipids has been developed using combined capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The methodology is based upon the formation of the pentafluorobenzyl ester of arachidonic acid, which is efficiently ionized using electron capture negative ion chemical ionization conditions to yield an abundant carboxylate anion at m/z 301. Quantification is carried out following hydrolysis of the complex glycerophospholipid in the presence of a known amount of (2H8) araachidonic acid. The use of this method is illustrated by the quantification of arachidonic acid within the glycerophospholipid classes isolated from resident peritoneal macrophage cells isolated from HS mice.

    Notizen: Under chemical ionization conditions, satratoxins preferentially produce negatively charged molecular ions (M-·) over the positively charged protonated molecules. Collisionally activated dissociation of the M-· ions resulted in daughter ions and neutral losses which were characteristic of the macrocyclic ester bridges. Direct tandem mass spectrometric methods of analyses wee developed and applied for the detection and quantification of satratoxins in Stachybotrys atra fermentation broths. Minimum detectable levels for satratoxin standards were 5 pg. A synthetically modified macrocyclic trichothecene, 8-ketoverrucarin A, was used as an internal standard for the quantification of satratoxins in fermentation samples.

    Notizen: This paper discusses the possible advantages of thermospray liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry LC/MS/MS for metabolic mapping. The technique was applied to the study of the metabolism of zolpidem, a new hypnotic with an imidazo-pyridine moiety. When compared to other chromatographic/mass spectrometric-based techniques, reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with thermospray LC/MS/MS appears to be the fastest method available today for elucidation of unknown metabolic structures, since it allows identification by direct injection of concentrated urine. However, it was noted during the thermospray process that loss of formaldehyde from a hydroxymethyl amide metabolite occurred. This degradation was not observed when this metabolite was analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry following trimethylsilylation.

    Notizen: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the treatment of tumor tissue with a photosensitizer and light to effect the delineation and/or eradication of the tumor. PDT is a two step process: (1) incorporation of photosensitizer into the cell where it must be retained by tumors in vivo; and (2) illumination of the tumor cell with light to effect cell death. Hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) is a complex mixture of porphyrins currently used for PDT in the clinical setting. Hematoporphyrin-based oligomers of up to five subunits were determined using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of the high-molecular-weight fraction of the drug. Reduction of this fraction with LiAlH4 permitted determination of the covalent bond linking the monomers in these oligoporphyrins. Application of these analytical procedures to the determination of the composition of different preparations of HPD will be described.

    Notizen: In the process of developing a high-sensitivity negative chemical ionization gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric assay for brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of quinolinic acid (QUIN, 2,3-pyridine dicarboxylic acid), (18O4)QUIN was prepared. Its properties as an internal standard were compared with those of the structural isomer 2,4-pyridine decarboxylic acid (2,4-PDC) previously used by others. All oxygen atoms in QUIN were labeled by heating in 3N HCl/(18O)water for 48 h at 80°C. Back-exchange of (18O4)QUIN was prevented during derivatization to an electron-capturing dihexafluoropropanol ester by using trifluoroacetylimidazole as catalyst instead of perfluroacyl anhydrides. When mixtures of QUIN and (18O4)QUIN and/or 2,4-PDC were followed through a procedure to isolate and quantify brain and CSF QUIN, the variability in the ratio of QUIN:2,4-PDC was greater than for QUIN:(18O)QUIN. We conclude that (18O)QUIN is the preferred internal standard in gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric quantification of brain and CSF QUIN, and that (18O)-labeled carboxylic acids may be esterified effectively without back-exchange using acylimidazole reagents.

Collision-induced dissociation mass spectra of the most intense parent ion in the high-mass region were taken. Collisionally activated decomposition mass spectra of the [C(12)-C(20)]+ ion of TxB2 and 2,3-dinor-TxB2 show an intense but not specific daughter ion, whereas the collison-induced dissociation mass spectrum of the [M - (C(16)-C(20)]+ ion of 11-dehydro-TxB2 results in the formation of numerous daughter ions.

    Notizen: Combined packed column supercritical fluid chromatography/mass spectrometry has been effected using a thermospray ion source in the filament-on mode. If organic modifiers are used with carbon dioxide as the supercritical mobile phase, chemical ionization mass spectra are obtained. With carbon dioxide electron impact type mass spectra are obtained. The potential of the system is illustrated with studies of mixtures of carbamate and organochlorine pesticides and a crude ergot fermentation extract.

    Notizen: A new mass spectral method has been developed and used to identify biologically important thiols. This method is based upon the use of C-14 labeled N-para-bromophenylmaleimide (BPM) to selectively derivatize thiols. The isotopic label facilitates the isolation and purification of trace quantities of the maleimide thiol adducts by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with radioactivity detection. The use of the bromine atom in the thiol derivative greatly enhances the detectability of the parent and fragment ions containing the BPM moiety because of the generation of the characteristic N + 2 doublet ions. Several examples of the use of this method to identify non-volatile thiol peptides such as glutathione (GSH) and homoglutathione (hGSH) by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) are described in this report.

    Notizen: (+)-trans-Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol [(+)-delta-9-THC], a biologically inactive isomer of (-)-trans-delta-9-THC, the major psychoactive constituent of cannabis, was administered intraperitoneally to male Charles River CD-1 mice; hepatic metabolites were extracted with ethyl acetate and isolated by chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 in chloroform. The metabolites were converted into trimethylsilyl (TMS), 2H9-TMS and methyl ester/TMS derivatives for examination by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and additional samples were prepared by reduction of metabolic fractions with lithium aluminium deuteride. Sixteen metabolites were characterized: these were alcohols and carboxylic acids, together with several of their hydroxylated analogues. The major biotransformation pathway was hydroxylation at C(11) to give the major metabolite, followed by oxidation of this compound to a carboxylic acid. Hydroxylated analogues of these two compounds were substituted mainly in the side-chain. Although metabolism was very similar to that of the naturally occurring (-)-isomer as far as positions of substitution were concerned, some differences were observed. These related mainly to the positions of hydroxylation on the side-chain, where 1′-hydroxylation was preferred to hydroxylation at the 2′-position. The major difference in metabolism between the two isomers was that much less oxidation of the 11-hydroxy group to a carboxylic acid occurred and there was less hydroxylation at the 8-position. Thus, 11-hydroxy-(+)-trans-delta-9-THC was the major metabolite and most other metabolites were hydroxylated derivatives of this compound.

    Notizen: A method which involves the use of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the identification of drug metabolites has been demonstrated with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method is based on the fact that metabolites usually retain various substructures of the original drug molecule. MS/MS is capable of rapidly identifying molecules with characteristic substructures without prior separation. It is shown that this method makes it possible to postulate possible drug metabolite structures rapidly and systematically without the use of standards. The MS/MS method, as it was applied to the identification of the metabolites of a new antiepileptic drug, zonisamide, is discussed. In this case it was possible to identify isomeric metabolites due to their differences in vaporization times off the probe and their different daughter spectra. The complementary uses of the neutral loss and parent scans for the determination of the site of metabolism is demonstrated. A new figure of merit, the limit of identification, is introduced. The amount of the epoxide metabolite of carbamazepine necessary for its reliable identification in urine was shown to be 0.4 ng/μl. The application of various techniques to confirm preliminary findings with this MS/MS method are described.

    Notizen: Macrocyclic trichothecenes are di- and triesters of simple trichothecenes such as verrucarol and oxygenated verrucarols. They form the negatively charged molecular (M-·) ions more effectively than the positively charged protonated molecules under chemical ionization (methane) conditions. This is proposed to be due to extended conjugation at the macrocyclic ester bridges of the molecules. The M-· ions of several macrocyclic trichothecenes undergo collisionally activated dissociation (argon) yielding the daughter ions characteristic of the ester bridges. Structures for various specific and abundant ions observed in the tandem mass spectra are proposed. The daughter ions and experimental conditions for the specific detection of these trichothecenes are selected. A semi-synthetic macrocyclic trichothecene is found to be an adequate internal standard for the analysis of macrocyclic trichothecenes under collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) conditions. Low nanogram (1-2) quantities of roridin H and satratoxins are detected under these conditions. Preliminary results indicate the applicability of this negative ion chemical ionization/tandem mass spectrometric method for the analysis of macrocyclic trichothecenes in real samples.

    Notizen: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHAS) has been quantified in human blood serum by fast atom bombardment (FAB)/tandem mass spectrometry of immunoadsorption extracts. FAB of DHAS yielded abundant ions corresponding to the intact steroid sulphate; these were selected by a double-focusing mass spectrometer prior to collisionally activated decomposition in a quadrupole collision cell and mass analysis by a quadrupole mass filter. [HSO4]- (m/z 97) was the sole prominent daughter ion. For quantitative analyses the quadrupole mass filter was set to transmit m/z 97 and a narrow-range magnet scan yielded a spectrum of parents, including m/z 367 and 369, corresponding to DHAS and the (2H2)-analogue (used as internal standard), respectively. Serum concentrations by this procedure were in good agreement with data obtained by gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analyses of DHA heptafluorobutyrate, formed by direct derivatization of the steroid sulphate.

    Notizen: Electron impact mass spectrometry has been used to determine the ratio of monensin A and B, and monensin A with monensin B as an internal standard in extracts of the premix and the fermentation broth. From the data obtained the total amount of monensin A and B was calculated and compared with the results of photometric determination. The relative width of the confidence intervals for the determination of monensin A and B ratio was 2% (2%) in the premix (fermentation broth), 5% (7%) for monensin A, 13% (14%) for monensin B and 5% (6%) for the total amount of monensins A and B. The limit of determination of monensins was about 100 ng. The difference in the results of photometric and mass spectrometric determination was significant for fermentation broth. No significant difference was found in the premix.

    Notizen: The electron impact mass spectra of cyclophosphamide (1) are very sensitive towards experimental conditions in view of the kind of sample handling, the type of mass spectrometer used and the temperature of evaporation. The reason for this phenomenon is the elimination of HCl from the molecular ion by a specific 1,5-hydrogen transfer yielding an ion at m/z 224 which is structurally related to the bicyclic compound 4 with its typical fragment ions at m/z 175 and 147. Thermal excitation of the sample increases the intensity of this fragmentation pathway. The fragmentation pattern of 1 and the thermally induced rearrangement reaction has been elucidated by means of isotopic labelling, high-resolution data, metastable ion analysis and some tandem mass spectrometric experiments. Various samples of 1 monohydrate and its commercially available preparations, which are triturates with sodium chloride, differing in the crystal size distribution, showed nearly identical mass spectra on two different magnetic mass spectrometers, provided that the materials were introduced as solids under careful control of the evaporation temperature. The fragmentation via m/z 224 prevails in case of non-crystalline, pre-dissolved samples on one of the instruments used which might be explained by a differing construction of the ion source and the sample cup holder. The conclusions of Mruzek et al. concerning different proportions of stereoisomers in pharmaceutical preparations of 1 lack any analytical evidence.

    Notizen: The mass spectrometric behaviour of six human metabolites formed by hydroxylation in various positions of the α-ethyl group or/and on the phenyl ring of 3-trifluoromethyl-α-ethyl-benzyhydrol (flumecinol) and seven related compounds has been studied. The electron impact mass (EI) spectra of these compounds show significant and characteristic effects of substituents, but many of them suffer from weakness or even from absence of the M+· peak owing to the very facile primary loss of the α-aliphatic chain, i.e. no direct information can be obtained about the size of the molecule and that of this chain. It is demonstrated for derivatives possessing a hydroxylated α-ethyl group that the difficulties in structural characterization due to the lack or weakness of M+· and [M + H]+ peaks in their EI and chemical ionization mass spectra, respectively, can be overcome by studying their silylated or boronated derivatives. Furthermore, silylation enables us to obtain a clear base for distinction of the primary and secondary alcohols of this type.

The eluent was introduced into the atmospheric pressure ion source of the triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer via an ion spray liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer interface operated in the negative ion mode. The limit of detection was 10 pg on-column by selected ion monitoring of the molecular ion and the response increased linearly over a concentration range of 2.4 orders of magnitude. Following work-up by a liquid-solid extraction procedure of equine urine samples, full-scan daughter ion spectra of boldenone sulfate could be obtained up to 17 days after a therapeutic dose of boldenone undecylenate to a horse.

Melanins are insoluble in organic solvents as well as aqueous solutions and are infusible. Consequently the traditional chemical degradation and physicochemical methods such as ultraviolet, infrared, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, ESR (electron spin resonance), XPS (X-rays photoelectron spectroscopy) and X-ray diffraction have led, until now, to limited information on melanin chemical structure1,3.

    Notizen: Four β-endorphins (β-endorphin 6-17, 2-17, 1-16, and 1-17) and two adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) peptides (ACTH 1-10 and (1-16)-NH2) were studied by using fast atom bombardment coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The capability to reproduce metastable ion and collisionally activated decomposition spectra on two different commercial sector mass spectrometers in two different laboratories was found to be acceptable (deviations in relative abundance are less than ± 50%). The endorphin peptides fragment metastably or upon collisional activation to give abundant B-series ions as well as Y-series ions, whereas Y-series ions are the principal ionic species produced upon the desorption by fast atom bombardment. The ACTH peptides also fragment to give Y-series ions, but of relatively low abundance compared to those from the endorphins. For both sets of peptides, high-energy collisionally activated decomposition and metastable ion decomposition daughter ion spectra are precise, structurally informative - even for peptides up to m/z 2000 - and complementary to spectra of daughter ions produced by desorption ionization alone.

    Notizen: Nucleotides of the structure P1,Pn-di(adenosine-5′)-n-phosphate (n = di- through penta-) in the form of salts, and P1,P4-di(guanosine-5′)tetraphosphate sodium salt have been analyzed by fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry. A 0.2 molar solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid in glycerol has been evaluated as a matrix. In this matrix, the metal ions of the nucleotide salts are readily exchanged for protons, resulting in a simple spectrum with only one peak in the molecular ion region corresponding to the free phosphoric acid of the nucleotide plus or minus a proton (positive or negative mode), instead of the multiplicity of peaks arising from a series of metal and matrix adduct ions found with glycerol as matrix. The detection limit for analytes using this matrix is improved by a factor of ten compared to glycerol alone. It appears that the high acidity and the surfactant properties of p-toluenesulfonic acid both contribute to this result. Useful spectra are obtained from 250 ng of each of the above mentioned nucleotides, with the detection limit being somewhat lower in the positive mode. However, both positive and negative FAB spectra are useful and the results are complementary.

    Notizen: Tetraalkylammonium salts, commonly used as ion pair reagents in chromatography, were found to react with biological conjugates under desorption chemical ionization conditions in a mass spectrometer. The reactions occur for aromatic glucuronide and glucoside conjugates using solid samples loaded on the direct exposure probe. Evidence is presented that several mechanisms contribute to the degradative alkylation of benzo(a)pyrene glucuronide. This undesirable process can be prevented by using ammonium or trialkylammonium instead of tetra-alkylammonium salts in the chromatographic separation. Nucleophilic attack on the tetraalkylammonium cations in the energized condensed phase was found to occur also for some simpler aromatic compounds.

    Notizen: A method for a rapid and direct structural determination of sulphated phlorotannins has been developed by using a combination of negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and acetylation on the target. The structural variations of sulphated phlorotannins include: (i) the number of monomeric phloroglucinol units involved; (ii) the mode of their connectivity; (iii) the orientation of hydroxy groups on aromatic carbon atoms; (iv) the presence of the substituents other than hydroxy groups on aromatic carbon atoms; and (v) the number of sulphate esters on the hydroxy groups. Additionally, the acidic protons on the sulphate groups can be easily substituted by sodium or potassium cations, depending on the mode of isolation. In the negative ion mode, several ions were observed and a determination of molecular size and molecular parameters (i)-(v) appeared to be rather speculative. After adding diluted hydrochloric acid to the sample in order to substitute alkali ions for protons, the hydrolysis of sulphate groups has been observed. The acetylation on the target, however, represents a rapid method to observe the molecular ions, and from the mass differences the molecular parameters can be easily calculated. This procedure also demonstrates the general possibility of studying rapid chemical reactions by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.

    Notizen: Alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of the cysteine-, N-acetylcysteine- and glutathione conjugates of acetaminophen have been prepared in aqueous buffer solutions and their chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties examined. Structurally informative fragmentation patterns of the cysteine- and N-acetylcysteine derivatives were obtained when their methyl esters were subjected to analysis by direct insertion chemical ionization (CH4) mass spectrometry, although field desorption and liquid secondary ion mass spectrometric techniques were required in order to obtain satisfactory spectral data for derivatives of the glutathione adduct. Treatment of ethoxycarbonyl derivatives of the three acetaminophen metabolites with N-methyltrifluoroacetamide-based silylating reagents led to the formation of a common volatile product which was ideally suited to analysis by gas chromatography/electron impact mass spectrometry. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of this novel derivative, which appears to possess a benzo-1,3-thioxalane structure, and its mass spectral characteristics are reported. Finally, the utility of alkoxycarbonyl derivatives for the analysis of drug - thioether conjugates in biological fluids is discussed in terms of their advantages for aqueous phase derivatization, purification by high-performance liquid chromatography and characterization by mass spectrometry.

    Notizen: Based on a statistical model of the reproducibility of NMR spectral features, a system for computer retrieval of high-resolution 1H-NMR spectra of glycoprotein carbohydrates has been developed. For corresponding peaks in an unknown and a reference spectrum, a similarity index based on the reproducibility of the chemical shifts is calculated. In addition, a second similarity index, based on the probability distribution of the percentage of non-matching peaks, has been developed. From these two similarity indices, a combined similarity index using the recall-reliability function as the optimizing criterion has been derived.First results indicate that the ‘1H-NMR reproducibility-based retrieval’ (‘1HRR’) system offers good perspectives for both identification and substructure analysis.

    Notizen: In applications of pattern recognition techniques to problems in chemical fingerprinting, only limited knowledge about the underlying statistical distribution of the data is generally available. This means that non-parametric methods must be used. Non-parametric discriminant functions have been used to provide insight into relationships contained within sets of chemical measurements. However, classification based on random or chance separation can be a serious problem. Monte Carlo simulation studies have been carried out to assess the probability of chance classification for non-parametric linear discriminants. The level of expected chance classification is a function of the number of observations (the number of samples), the dimensionality of the problem (the number of independent variables per observation), class membership distribution and the covariance structure of the data being examined. An approach for assessing the level of significance of classification scores obtained from real training sets will be presented. These simulation studies establish limits on the approaches that can be taken with real data sets so that chance classification are improbable, and provide information necessary for integrating the data analysis into the overall experimental design.

    Notizen: Gas chromatography and pattern recognition methods have been used to develop a potential method for differentiating between European and Africanized honey-bees based on chemical constitution. 243 European, African and Africanized honey-bees were characterized by 40-peak GCs of cuticular hydrocarbon extracts. Discriminants were developed that correctly classified the bees, and these discriminants were used successfully to classify bees of unknown origin, including hybrids.

    Notizen: An expert system (LABGEN) is presented for decision support in analytical laboratories by means of digital simulation. In an interactive manner, LABGEN constructs simulation models of laboratory organizations. It makes use of a database of model fragments and applies rules in order to prevent the user providing redundant information and to prevent inconsistent models being constructed. The models are written in the dedicated simulation language SIMULA. After compilation they can be used for simulation experiments. LABGEN can be applied to a wide range of laboratory organizations. An example of the application of LABGEN is presented.

    Notizen: A general problem arising in the development of regression models is the selection of the optimal model. Whenever a feature selection procedure, such as step forward, backward elimination, best subset or all possible combinations, or when a data compression approach, such as principal components or partial least-squares regression, is used, the question of how many regression terms to include in the final model must be addressed.This work describes the evaluation of four different criteria for selection of the optimal predictive regression model using cross-validation. The results obtained in this work illustrate the problems which can arise in the analysis of small or inadequately sampled data sets. The common approach, selecting the model which yields the absolute minimum in the predictive residual error sum of squares (PRESS), was found to have particularly poor statistical properties. A very simple change to a criterion based on the first local minimum in PRESS will provide a significant improvement in the cross-validation result. A criterion based on testing the significance of incremental changes in PRESS with an F-test may provide more robust performance than the local minimum in PRESS method.

    Notizen: Methods of multivariate calibration use models that relate spectral data or sensor array responses to the concentrations of analytes. The goal is to insure that the calibration model can accurately estimate analyte concentrations in unknown samples not contained in the calibration set. The sensors or spectral channels (e.g. wavelengths) selected for incorporation in the model, as well as the samples selected for the calibration step, are known to have an effect on the accuracy of analysis for unknown samples. This work provides a fundamental treatment of this effect and derives criteria for optimal selection. Additionally, a proof is given for the advantage of having more sensors and calibration samples than analytes - the overdetermined case.

    Notizen: Classification rules using non-parametric linear discriminant functions are often developed from training sets that are not linearly separable. In these situations it is a common practice among inexperienced workers to use many different pattern recognition methods and then select the results that look the best. However, this practice will only increase the risk of spurious results. To document this, we recently carried out a series of Monte Carlo simulation studies to assess the level of chance classification for two different classification algorithms. The level of chance classification for a given dichotomy is found to vary with the choice of the non-parametric linear discriminant function employed. Although previous workers have indicated that the degree of separation in the data due to chance is only a function of the object-to-descriptor ratio, the results of this study suggest otherwise.
