    Notes: Summary Concentrations of metallothionein and metals, i.e. cadmium, copper and zinc, were determined in six rejected transplanted human kidneys and one kidney prepared for transplantation. Tissue samples separated by gel chromatography showed that almost all of cadmium in tissue was in the form of firmly bound cadmium-metallothionein.

    Notes: Summary In January 1990 a 32 year old nurse was admitted with fever, weight loss of 9 kilogramms and pain of her right flank. HIV infection due to intravenous drug abuse had been diagnosed in 1986. Ultrasonic imaging revealed a solid tumor of low echogenicity in the cranial part of the right kidney. This finding could be confirmed with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Angiographic study showed a missing of blood vessels in the same area. A transcutaneous puncture with a thin needle resulted histologically in unspecific findings like detritus, lymphoid cells and neutrophils. Antibiotic treatment with amoxicilline and cefuroxim was without success. Symptoms as well as ultrasonic findings completely disappeared following oral administration of ofloxazine. The clinical course and the successful treatment support the diagnosis of an atypical renal abscess. As a second diagnosis a histologically proven cirrhosis of the liver could be established. Hepatitis C serology proved to be positive.

    Notes: Summary Mesangial cells play an important role in the maintenance of the structure and function of the glomerulus. In addition mesangial cells are capable of macromolecular uptake, and generation of autocoids and cytokines. Our studies have explored the mechanism of IgG uptake by cultured rat mesangial cells. Mesangial cells were found to express Fc receptors for IgG as demonstrated by specific binding studies, indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, immunoblotting and Northern blot analysis. The number of Fc receptors for IgG on mesangial cells was upregulated by interferon gamma, cyclic AMP and monocyte-macrophage specific colony stimulating factor — CSF-1. In addition uptake of IgG complexes was acutely increased by angiotensin II and inhibited by cAMP. These latter effects are independent of receptor number, but are mediated by changes in the cytoskeleton. These observations may be of significance for hemodynamically independent effects of vasoactive agents on mesangial function. Finally we examined the potential of mesangial cells for generation of CSF-1. Cultured mesangial cells produced radioimmunoassayable CSF-1 and expressed mRNA for CSF-1. Interferon gamma stimulated, whereas cAMP and agents increasing cAMP, such as forskolin and PGE2, inhibited CSF-1 production. This was due to decreased transcription resulting in lower levels of mRNA for CSF-1. The interactions of CSF-1, other cytokines, prostaglandins and cAMP may be important in regulating immune-like functions of mesangial cells, and especially their response to immunecomplexes.

    Notes: Summary The binding of the selective DA-1 receptor antagonist [3H]-SCH 23390 in sections of rat kidney was studied using combined in vitro biochemical radio-receptor assay and autoradiography. [3H]-SCH 23390 was bound to sections of rat kidney in a manner consistent with the labeling of DA-1 receptors with a disssociation constant value of 4.2 nmol/l and a Bmax value of 180.6 fmol/mg protein. Light microscope autoradiography revealed a dense accumulation of silver grains in juxtaglomerular cells and in proximal convoluted tubule cells. These findings suggest that the stimulation of renin release elicited by dopamine and DA-1 receptor agonists may be mediated by the activation of DA-1 receptors located on juxtaglomerular cells.

    Notes: Summary (1) Homogenates of renal cortex and renal medulla of control and 6-hydroxydopamine-denervated cat kidneys were prepared. (2) Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was determined with [3H]-5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]-5HT) and [14C]-β-phenylethylamine ([14C]-β-PEA) as preferential substrates for MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. (3) The endogenous dopamine and noradrenaline tissue contents of control and chemicallydenervated kidneys were compared with the MAO activities. (4) The results show that a 70% depletion of monoamine content by chemical denervation resulted only in a 23% reduction of MAO-A activity in the renal cortex, whereas MAO-13 was unaffected either in the cortical or the medullary zones; in the renal medulla MAO-A activity was not changed by denervation. Most of the MAO activity in the cat kidney is of the B type (74%) and is located in the renal cortex.

    Notes: Summary Several functional parameters were applied in an experimental model of ischemia to test the ability to localize the distribution of tubular lesions. Canine kidneys were perfused with protective solutions and rendered ischemic for definite periods. Renal function was determined during a subsequent 3-h reperfusion. The pattern and the extent of renal injury were influenced by varying the duration of ischemia and by modifying the protective solution used. The results suggest that by employing an appropriate selection of parameters it is possible to allocate renal injury to definite sections of the tubules. According to such an evaluation, under protection with HTK-solution, the proximal tubule limits the tolerance of renal ischemia. The thick ascending limb shows some vulnerability that is aggravated by disadvantageous modifications of the protective solution and that may become more pronounced in the course of reperfusion. In contrast, more distal parts of the nephron retain a remarkable reserve transport capacity after a tolerable level of ischemia.

    Notes: Summary Renal arteriolar diameters were measured, using microvascular resin casts, in two hyperfiltration models of rats: the remnants kidney of subtotal nephrectomy (NX) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic kidney (DM). In the NX, the blood pressure was elevated, urinary protein excretion was markedly increased and glomeruli were severely damaged. In the DM, although the blood pressure remained normal, urinary protein excretion was significantly increased and glomeruli were damaged but to a lesser extent than in the NX group. In the NX group, the afferent arteriole was dilated and the efferent arteriole was constricted. In the DM group, the afferent arteriole was dilated, while the efferent arteriole remained unchanged. The results showed that afferent arteriolar dilatation was seen in both the NX and DM groups, possibly leading to the glomerular damage. In the NX group, the systemic high blood pressure and efferent arteriolar constriction augmented glomerular damage significantly.

    Notes: Summary Changes in the basement membrane (BM) in atrophic tubules in human kidney biopsies were studied by electron microscopy and by immunohistochemistry on cryostat sections with antibodies against collagen type I, type III, type IV, laminin, EMA, keratin and vimentin. The BM showed different degrees of thickening with formation of reduplications which contained fibrocytes. Remnants of cytoplasm of epithelial cells and fibrocytes were incorporated in the thickened BM. This showed signs of lysis and disintegration, indicating that the redundant BM formed by the epithelial cells is removed, although imperfectly, by interstitial cells. Thinning of the BM was another frequent finding. Immunohistochemistry showed a clear reactivity for collagen type IV and laminin in all BM material. The epithelial cells showed multilayering and a peculiar type of dark cells extending underneath adjacent cells and separating them from their BM attachment.

    Notes: Summary The relation between hypertensive glomerular damage and arteriolar diameter was examined in a microvascular cast study in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. The blood pressure and urinary protein excretion increased progressively in the DOCA rats. In controls afferent arteriolar diameters increased during the course of the experiment, and efferent arteriolar diameters remained unchanged. In the DOCA rats, however, afferent arteriolar diameters did not change significantly, while efferent arteriolar diameters increased. Histological studies showed severe arteriolosclerosis and glomerulosclerosis in the DOCA rats. The results show that these arteriolar changes might contribute to the reduction of glomerular capillary pressure in the development of DOCA-salt hypertension. However, they are not sufficient to protect glomeruli from hypertensive damage.

    Notes: Summary The three dimensional architecture of the connective tissue framework of normal human kidney and three renal cell carcinomas was studied. A sodium hydroxide maceration technique was used to remove the cellular elements thus exposing the underlying connective tissue structures. The collagen fibrillar network was visualized using the scanning electron micriscope. In normal kidney the fibres were fine, and smooth, and corresponded to the shapes of the original parenchymal constituents. The fibres of the kidney tumours were coarse in nature and irregularly distributed. The technique provides a rapid method for studying connective tissue fibres in normal and diseased tissue. The three dimensional architecture thus exposed enhances our knowledge of tumour stroma.

    Notes: Summary To study the ontogenetic development of the interstitial tissue of the kidney, rats were investigated 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after birth. Kidneys perfusionfixed with glutaraldehyde were studied with light- and electron microscopy. Cryostate sections from kidneys immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen were studied with respect to the expression of MHC class II antigen using the monoclonal antibody OX6. The interstitial space of both the renal cortex and the outer and inner medulla was prominent during the first days postnatally. The relative interstitital volume of the cortex and outer part of the medulla then decreased in conjunction with the outgrowth and maturation of the superficial nephrons while the inner medullary interstitium remained wide. During the first postnatal days, the abundant interstitial cells of the cortex were connected via cytoplasmic processes to form a loose network which later became less well defined. The lipid-laden interstitial cells of the inner medulla showed essentially the same ultrastructure in the newborn as in the adult animal. Strong expression of class II antigen first appeared on epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle’s loop about 7 days postnatally, and became weak at 28 days. From 21 days, a weak staining of the proximal tubules was also observed. While interstitial cells in the inner medulla were always negative, cortical and outer medullary interstitial cells became strongly positive for class II antigen from day 21 post partum.

    Notes: Abstract It has recently been shown, that common carotid occlusion (CCO) impairs autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This study was designed to investigate the mechanisms by which a moderate sympathetic stimulus influences RBF and GFR autoregulation. CCO provided a moderate sympathetic stimulus, and impaired autoregulation by increasing the lower autoregulatory limit of RBF and GFR by 21–30 mmHg. Basal RBF and GFR were not affected. A low-dose intrarenal infusion of the α 1-adrenoceptor agonist methoxamine (which did not change total RBF or GFR) induced a similar shift as CCO (n=5, RBF: +31±11 mmHg, P〈0.05; GFR: +24±4 mmHg, P〈0.01). In another group it was shown, that a combination of CCO with an intrarenal angiotensin II (A II) blockade (saralasin) did not significantly alter the response to CCO (n=7). These data suggest an α 1-adrenergic pathway for the sympathetic resetting of autoregulation. An augmented A II formation does not play a major role in mediating this effect.

    Notes: Abstract Lung, liver and kidney injury were studied in mice, rats and rabbits 48 h after termination of a 4 h inhalation exposure to bromobenzene vapour (250–3400 ppm). Light and electron microscopy of lung tissue revealed injury to Clara cells and adjacent epithelium in mouse bronchioli (bromobenzene concentration 250 ppm and 1000 ppm) and to Clara cells of rat bronchi and bronchioli (1000 ppm bromobenzene) and of rabbit bronchi (2500 ppm and 3400 ppm). Histological and clinicochemical indices of liver damage were found in the same animals, whereas kidney toxicity was observed in mice (two out of ten showed tubular necrosis and elevated concentration of plasma urea) and rats (all had elevated plasma concentrations of creatinine) exposed to 1000 ppm bromobenzene. Inhalation exposure thus produced less kidney injury than expected from previous studies with equimolar doses given intraperitoneally. The mouse was the most severely affected species, followed by the rat, and lastly the rabbit. The animal susceptibility could not be ranked according to the rate of14C-bromobenzene covalent binding in lung or liver, but it was inversely related to the rate of N-demethylation of benzphetamine (indicative of P450IIB activity) in both lung and liver microsomal preparations. Differences in a P450 mediated detoxification could therefore be of importance in species variability to bromobenzene injury.

    Notes: Summary The persistence of 7- andO 6-alkylation of guanine in DNA of cell nuclei of male Syrian hamster pancreas, liver, kidneys, lungs [target tissues ofN-nitrosobis (2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP)] and salivary glands (nontarget tissue) was studied immunocytochemically 6 h, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days after a single s.c. injection of 20 mg BOP/kg. Conventional antisera raised againstO 6-methylguanine and imidazole-ring-opened 7-methylguanine were used. Persistent alkyl-specific staining was observed for up to 7 days (7-alkylguanine) or 56 days (O 6-alkylguanine) in inter- and intralobular duct cells and centro-acinar cells of the pancreas, periportal hepatocytes and bile duct cells of the liver, cells of the proximal convoluted tubules of the renal cortex, and bronchiolar Clara and alveolar cells in the lungs. Both adducts disappeared from centrilobular liver cells within 1 day, from pancreatic acinar cells within 3 days, and from ducts and acini of the submandibular salivary glands within 14 days after BOP treatment. A high level of persistentO 6-alkylation of guanine was related with a high tumor incidence only in case of the ductal/ductular system of the pancreas, the main target tissue of BOP-induced carcinogenesis. The relatively weak carcinogenicity of BOP in other tissues with long-term persistence ofO 6-alkylguanine in DNA indicates that the formation and persistence of DNA alkylation are not sufficient to account for the carcinogenic organotropism of BOP. Additional factors, such as cell proliferation, appropriate promoting stimuli and the (onco)genes critically involved, may be as important as the modification of DNA.

    Notes: Abstract Twenty-four hours after 90 min clamping of the left renal artery in dogs, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was decreased in the whole kidney (0.34 ml.min−1g KW−1 [KW=Kidney weight] vs 0.64 in contralateral unclamped kidney) just as in the single nephron (SNGFR, 19.7 vs 51.8 nl.min−1). Renal blood flow (RBF) did not change; single nephron glomerular blood flow (SNGBF) was decreased by 9% only. After injection of Lissamine green into the renal artery, brief diffuse tinting of the whole kidney surface was observed. Thereafter, patchy coloration — corresponding to passage of the dye through patent tubuli — took place in approximately one-quarter to one-third of the kidney surface. Micropuncture measurements were carried out in these areas.The values of hydraulic pressure in peritubular capillaries and proximal convolutions were not different from those found in controls; directly measured glomerular capillary pressure was decreased (48.7 vs 59.5 mmHg). The ultrafiltration coefficient(K f) was significantly depressed (2.7 vs 3.8 mmHg.nl−1.min). Total kidney and arteriolar resistances remained unchanged but afferent resistance (R A) was elevated (11%) and efferent resistance (R E) was lowered (23%) compared with those of controls. Ninetyseven percent of proximally microinjected 3H-inulin was recovered from the control kidney but only 85 % from the kidney rendered ischaemic. In conclusion, the typical findings at 24 h after 90 min ischaemia are low GFR and SNGFR with normal RBF and almost normal superficial SNGBF values. This phenomenon is mainly due to a decrease in K f and a decrease in R E with a simultaneous increase in R A; back-leak through damaged tubuli seems to play only a minor role.

    Notes: Abstract Calcium-activated potassium channels in the luminal membrane of Amphiuma diluting segment were studied using the patch-clamp technique in both the cellattached and inside-out configurations. The open probability (P o) of the channel is sensitive to both membrane potential and cytoplasmic calcium activity; depolarizing potenials and high calcium concentrations leading to an increased P o. In the cell-attached condition, channel openings were observed between pipette potentials of −100 and −240 mV. As the driving force for potassium exit from the cell into the pipette is increased the single channel currents show a biphasic response. First, the currents increase as expected; however, the single channel currents diminish in magnitude at pipette potentials more negative than −120 mV. We propose that this reduction is due to rapid blockade of the potassium channel by intracellular sodium. This proposal is supported by two facts: (a) using inside-out patches it was possible to reduce the single channel currents in a concentration- and voltage-dependent manner, similar to that observed in the cell-attached condition, by raising the sodium concentration of the fluid bathing the cytoplasmic face of the patch; (b) pretreatment of tubules with the loop-acting diuretic furosemide (10−5M), an agent known to decrease the intracellular sodium activity, caused an attenuation of the reduction in single channel current seen under control conditions. Given the very low P o of the channels at the resting membrane potential and the sensitivity of the channels to intracellular sodium, it is unlikely that blockade of these channels by intracellular sodium would lead to a physiological regulation of the apical K conductance.

    Notes: Summary Isolated glomeruli of the rainbow trout have been exposed in vitro to125I-angiotensin II (0.88 × 10−9 M) and binding sites located by light-microscopic autoradiography. These studies provide evidence of specific binding of angiotensin II by glomeruli. Binding was significantly inhibited by excess (10−5 M) unlabelled angiotensin II, but a high degree of non-specific binding also occurred. The mammalian competitive antagonist, saralasin (3 × 10−7 M) did not influence125I-angiotensin II binding to fish glomeruli. Intense binding of125I-angiotensin II was noted at the vascular pole of some glomeruli.

    Notes: Summary The paired external glomus of the fully developed pronephros has been studied in early larvae (ammocoetes) of 2 lamprey species, Lampetra fluviatilis and Petromyzon marinus, several weeks after hatching and newly hatched, by use of light-, scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. Three weeks after hatching the glomus is a complex of capillary loops supplied by a single arteriole branching from the aorta. The glomus consists of 3 cell types: podocytes, fenestrated endothelium, and mesangial cells. A basement membrane, which has a close contact to the podocytes, is the only continuous barrier between blood and the coelomic cavity. The glomus exhibits all fine-structural elements known to be essential for function in the glomeruli of other vertebrates. We therefore assume the pronephric glomus of lampreys to be functional in ultrafiltration, with the ultrafiltrate released into the coelomic cavity. In newly hatched larvae, the structure of the glomus is not fully developed. In this earlier stage several afferent arterioles supply each glomus. The endothelial cells in the glomar capillaries still lack regular epithelial organization and resemble mesenchymal cells. However, the presence of typical podocytes stretching over a continuous basement membrane suggests that the tissue is already capable of ultrafiltration.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of peroxisomes in the proximal nephron tubules of bovine kidney cortex was studied using ultrathin-sectioning, diaminobenzidine cytochemistry for the visualization of catalase, and by freeze-fracture. Peroxisomes in this nephron segment are up to 1.5 μm in diameter and exhibit a peculiar angular shape, which is probably related to the occurrence of multiple straight plate-like inclusions (marginal plates) in the matrix of peroxisomes; they lie directly underneath the peroxisomal membranes. The peroxisomal membrane in such regions follows the outline of the marginal plate. The peculiar shape of peroxisomes allows their unequivocal identification in freeze-fracture preparations. Peroxisomal membranes are recognized by their flat, often rectangular appearance. Intramembrane particles are much more numerous on P-fracture faces than on E-fracture faces. A crystalline lattice-structure with a periodicity of approximately 10 nm can be observed on the flat rectangular areas of E-fracture faces. This lattice structure is intensified after prolonged freeze-etching. Intramembranous particles seem to be superimposed over this pattern. The crystalline pattern on the E-fracture faces of peroxisomal membranes is probably not a membrane structure but it reveals the structure of the membrane-associated marginal plates. A cast of the marginal-plate surface may be generated by a collapse of the peroxisomal membrane half onto the immediately underlying matrix inclusion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ratten erhielten 4 Wochen lang isotone Kochsalzlösung als Trinkflüssigkeit. Glomerulumfiltrat und Passagezeit von Lissamin-Grün im proximalen Tubulus blieben unverändert. Die spezifische Resorptionskapazität des Tubulusepithels — gemessen mit der „gespaltenen-Tropfen-Methode“ — nahm signifikant ab. Daraus ergab sich eine Verminderung der fraktionellen Natrium-und Wasserresorption im proximalen Tubulus von 51 auf 38% der gefilterten Menge. Die Na+-Ausscheidung stieg von 0,06 (Kontrollen) auf 1,25% der gefilterten Menge. Diese Veränderungen waren rückgängig zu machen durch Injektion von d-Aldosteron. Durch Bestimmung des TF/P-Inulin-Quotienten am Ende des proximalen Konvolutes wurden die Ergebnisse bestätigt. Es wird angenommen, daß die Resorptionshemmung im proximalen Tubulus bei chronischer Kochsalzbelastung durch verminderte Sekretion von Mineralocorticoiden bedingt und letzten Endes Ursache der vermehrten Na+-Ausscheidung ist. Ein Teil der proximalen Resorptionshemmung wird anscheinend in weiter distal gelegenen Nephron-Abschnitten kompensiert.
    Notes: Summary Rats were kept on isotonic saline as drinking fluid for a period of 4 weeks. Glomerular filtration rate and proximal transit time of Lissamine green remained unchanged. The intrinsic reabsorptive capacity of the proximal tubular epithelium—measured by the “shrinking-droplet-method”—decreased significantly. As a result, fractional proximal reabsorption of sodium and water decreased from 51 to 38 per cent of the filtered load. Sodium excretion rose from 0.06 (controls) to 1,25 per cent of the filtered load. These changes were reversible by injection of d-aldosterone. The results were confirmed by measuring the TF/P ratio of inulin at the end of the proximal convolution. The results indicate that in rats chronically loaded with salt, the inhibition of fractional proximal reabsorption is due to a decreased secretion of mineralocorticoids, and is the cause of the higher sodium excretion. Apparently, the decreased proximal reabsorption is partly compensated in more distal parts of the nephron.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um den Einfluß des Plasmaharnstoffspiegels auf die Konzentrierfähigkeit der Niere zu untersuchen, wird der Blutkreislauf von Ratten an eine Dialysiervorrichtung angeschlossen und der Harnstoffspiegel des Blutes für 3 Std durch Dialyse gegen eine harnstoffreie Spüllösung gesenkt. Gleichzeitig wird der Harnfluß der Tiere durch eine Regelanordnung konstant gehalten. Die Regelung wird dadurch erreicht, daß dem Blutkreislauf bei zu hohem Harnfluß automatisch Flüssigkeit entzogen und bei zu niedrigem Harnfluß Flüssigkeit zugeführt wird. Es wird gefunden, daß die Harnstoffkonzentrationen im Harn linear mit dem Plasmaharnstoffspiegel abfallen bzw. ansteigen. Die Summe der Elektrolytkonzentrationen fällt dagegen mit dem Plasmaharnstoffspiegel nur wenig ab. Falls ein völliger Harnstoffentzug möglich wäre, würde auch dann noch eine Konzentrierung der Elektrolyte auf mehr als doppelt isoton möglich sein. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung lassen sich am einfachsten mit der Annahme interpretieren, daß in der Niere der Ratte zwei unterschiedlich arbeitende Konzentrierungsmechanismen wirksam sind, von denen der eine im wesentlichen Elektrolyte, der andere im wesentlichen Harnstoff konzentriert. Der Konzentrierungsmechanismus für Elektrolyte könnte im äußeren Mark, der für Harnstoff im inneren Mark lokalisiert sein.
    Notes: Summary To investigate the influence of plasma urea levels on the concentrating power of the kidney, the blood circulation of rats was connected to a dialyser; with dialysis against a urea-free cleaning solution, the urea level of the blood was lowered for three hours. During this, the urine flow of the animals was kept constant by a regulating arrangement. This control was achieved by removing fluid from the blood circulation in the case of too high urine flow and by putting in fluid in the case of too low urine flow. It was found that the concentration of urea in the urine had a direct linear relationship with the plasma urea level. The total electrolyte concentration fell only slightly compared to the plasma urea level falls. If the urea could have been completely removed, high concentrating of the electrolyte, to more than double isotonic, would still have been possible. The simplest way to interpret the results of this research is by the hypothesis that two different concentrating mechanisms are at work in the rat kidney, the one essentially concentrating electrolytes, and the other principally urea. The concentrating mechanism for electrolytes could be localised in the outer medulla, and for urea in the inner medulla.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um die gegenseitige Beeinflussung von Harnstoff und NaCl bei der Bildung eines konzentrierten Harns zu untersuchen, werden Ratten 2 Tage lang NaCl-Lösungen mit wechselndem Harnstoffgehalt infundiert. Sodann werden der Harn sowie das Gewebe der Nierenrinde, des äußeren Marks und des inneren Marks auf ihren Gehalt an Kalium, Natrium und Harnstoff analysiert. Es wird gefunden, daß die Konzentrierfähigkeit der Rattenniere unter diesen Versuchsbedingungen für NaCl bei gleichzeitiger Zufuhr von Harnstoff geringer wird. In der Niere steigen NaCl und Harnstoffkonzentrationen unter allen Infusionsbedingungen von der Nierenrinde zur Nierenpapille hin an. Bei Infusion reiner NaCl-Lösungen entsprechen die NaCl- und Harnstoffkonzentrationen im Harn denen in der Papille. Bei Infusion von harnstoffhaltigen NaCl-Lösungen sind im Harn die NaCl-Konzentrationen höher und die Harnstoffkonzentrationen niedriger als im Papillengewebe. Diese Ergebnisse schließen aus, daß die hohen Harnstoffkonzentrationen im Nierenmarkgewebe durch einfache Diffusion des Harnstoffes aus den Sammelrohren in das Nierenmarkgewebe zustande kommen. Es wird die Möglichkeit diskutiert, daß die Harnstoffkonzentrierung unter den hier wiedergegebenen Versuchsbedingungen durch Gegenstromdiffusion in dem Vasa recta-System verursacht wird. Der Konzentriereffekt hierfür könnte durch einen Wasserfluß aufgrund osmotischer Kräfte von dem Blutgefäßsystem in die Henleschen Schleifen zustande kommen, wenn der Harn in den Henleschen Schleifen durch Aufnahme von NaCl, das aus den Sammelrohren stammt, hyperton wird.
    Notes: Summary To investigate the mutual interdependence of urea and sodium in producing concentrated urine, solutions of different concentrations of sodium and urea were infused into the stomach of rats. After two days' infusion, the urine and tissues from the different zones of the kidneys were analysed for sodium, potassium and urea content. It was found that the efficiency of the rat kidney in producing urine with high sodium content was diminished if urea was infused together with the sodium chloride. Under all conditions sodium and urea concentrations increased from the cortex to the papilla of the kidneys. When pure sodium chloride solutions were infused, sodium and urea concentrations in the urine were nearly equal to the corresponding concentrations in the papilla. Infusion of solutions containing NaCl and urea caused production of urine with a higher sodium concentration and lower urea concentration than in the papilla. These results show that the high concentration of urea in the medulla of the kidney does not arise by passives diffusion of urea from the collecting ducts into the medullary tissue. The possibility that the concentration of urea in the inner medulla is produced by counter current diffusion of urea in the vasa recta is discussed. The concentration effect necessary for this counter current multiplication could be created by an osmotic flow of water from the vasa recta into loops of Henle, if the urine in the loops becomes hypertonic by taking up sodium chloride from the collecting ducts.

    Notes: Summary Light- and electronmicroscopic evaluation of proximal convolutions of the rat kidney were made following injection with either mineral oil or castor oil. The following observations were made: 1. Injection of mineral oil does not result in a complete blockade of the tubular lumen and leads to morphological lesions of epithelial cells. 2. Injection of the more viscous castor oil, in contrast, leads to a dilatation of the tubular lumen and a compression of the brush border of proximal tubular cells. Thus a better blockade of longitudinal flow is achieved. A toxic effect of castor oil on the tubular epithelium could not be detected. Mechanical lesions, similar to those observed after mineral oil injection, were less frequent. They consisted in a penetration of oil into the cells, perhaps as consequence of the tubular dilatation. 3. In oil-injected proximal tubular segments the following cytologic phenomena were observed: a) a cessation of the normal pinocytosis, which is induced in the presence of tubular fluid, b) simultaneously the “large resorption vacuoles” disappear, indicating that they originate from confluence of pinocytotic vesicles, c) in dilated tubules protein resorption vacuoles are found to have ruptured towards the tubular lumen suggesting a high hydrostatic pressure within the vacuoles.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 4 Wochen nach Klammerung einer Nierenarterie war der Perfusionsdruck der geklammerten Niere normal, während der arterielle Mitteldruck auf 188 mm Hg angestiegen war. Die Ausscheidung von Natrium und Wasser im Harn der geklammerten Niere war normal, im Harn der ungeklammerten Niere erheblich höher als normal. Glomerulumfiltrat (pro g Niere), intratubulärer Druck, Tubulusweite, Passagezeit von Lissamingrün und die fraktionelle Resorption von Natrium und Wasser waren im proximalen Tubulus sowohl in der geklammerten wie in der ungeklammerten Niere normal. In der ungeklammerten Niere war die Passagezeit durch die Henlesche Schleife stark verkürzt und die Resorption von Natrium und Wasser in der Schleife erheblich vermindert. Diese Veränderungen — obwohl zum Teil kompensiert durch vermehrte Resorption im distalen Tubulus und im Sammelrohr — sind verantwortlich für die höhere Wasser- und Natriumausscheidung der ungeklammerten Niere. Die Ursache ist wahrscheinlich eine stärkere Durchblutung des Nierenmarkes. Im Nephron der geklammerten Niere war die fraktionelle Natrium- und Wasserresorption nicht signifikant von normalen Werten verschieden mit der Ausnahme einer niedrigeren Natriumresorption im distalen Tubulus und einer höheren Natriumresorption im Sammelrohr. Der Natrium-Transport im distalen Tubulus ist anscheinend gestört; TF/P−Na+ betrug im Mittel 0,6 bis zum Ende des distalen Tubulus. Die Ergebnisse können die unterschiedliche Harnausscheidung erklären, die beim Hypertoniker mit einseitiger Nierenarterienstenose beobachtet wird (Howard-Test).
    Notes: Summary Four weeks after clamping one renal artery, the perfusion pressure of the clamped kidney was normal whereas the mean arterial pressure had increased to 188 mm Hg. Urinary excretion of sodium and water of the clamped kidney had not changed while that of the untouched kidney increased considerably. Glomerular filtration rate (per g kidney), intratubular pressure, tubular diameter, transit time of Lissamine green and fractional sodium and water reabsorption of the proximal tubule were normal in both the clamped and the untouched kidney. In the untouched kidney, the transit time through Henle's loop was shortened and the sodium and water reabsorption in it was significantly reduced. These changes, although partly compensated by higher reabsorption in the distal tubule and collecting duct, are responsible for the increased sodium and water excretion of the untouched kidney. They are probably due to an increased medullary blood flow. In the clamped kidney, fractional sodium and water reabsorption of the whole nephron did not differ significantly from normal values. However, sodium reabsorption was lower in the distal tubule and higher in the collecting duct. Sodium transport in the distal tubule seemed to be impaired; throughout its length sodium TF/P ratio averaged 0.6. These results may explain the different urinary excretion found in human hypertension following unilateral renal artery stenosis (Howard-Test).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch artifizielle osmotische Druckdifferenzen von 150 mOsmol/l zwischen Lumen- und Blutseite der Tubulusepithelien von Rana ridibunda wird Flüssigkeit im Richtungssinne der Reabsorption oder — in geringerem Maße — der Sekretion längs des osmotischen Gradienten bewegt. Na+ wird in jedem Fall „trocken” reabsorbiert. Bei mit Furosemid blockiertem aktiven Na+-Transport läuft isoton Flüssigkeit längs des osmotischen Gradienten aus dem Tubuluslumen in das blutseitige Medium. Bei umgekehrt gerichtetem Gradienten wird das Filtrat so verändert, als ob es durch Einstrom reinen Wassers verdünnt würde. Die Tubulusepithelien verhalten sich so, als besäßen sie — im Zustand des blockierten aktiven Na+-Transportes — ein „Rückschlagventil” für Na+. Wenn der osmotische Gradient so gerichtet ist, daß Wasser oder Flüssigkeit aus dem Lumen in das blutseitige Medium läuft, dann kommt es bei umgekehrt gerichtetem Na+-Konzentrationsgradienten nicht zum Einstrom von Na+ in das Tubuluslumen. Die Na+-Harnkonzentration sinkt beträchtlich unter die des Perfusates, was als Ausdruck einer Na+-Reabsorption gegen den Konzentrationsgradienten gedeutet wird. Bei Blockierung des Na+-Transportes durch Furosemid kommt es wiederum zum Einstrom reinen Wassers in die Tubuluslumina. Die Versuche mit durch Furosemid blockiertem Na+-Transportmechanismus sind beweisend, daß die Tubuli für Na+ im Richtungssinne der Sekretion impermeabel sind. Die „Verdünnung” des Tubulusinhaltes durch einen osmotischen Gradienten, der Wasser in die Tubuli hineinlaufen läßt, kommt also nicht durch ein Überwiegen der Reabsorption über die „Sekretion” zustande. Wird statt des leicht penetrierenden Na-Chlorids das schwer penetrierende Natriumcyclohexansulfamat angeboten, dann wird absolut gegenüber den Versuchen mit Na-Chlorid weniger Na+ transportiert. Im übrigen zeigen die Nieren jedoch das gleiche Verhalten wie bei Angebot von Na-Chlorid.
    Notes: Summary Osmotic gradients of 150 mosmol/l between intratubular fluid and blood in the kidney of Rana ridibunda induce a fluid movement down the osmotic gradient which is stronger into the tubule than out of it. In either case Na+ is reabsorbed “dry”. If the active Na+-transport is blocked by Furosemid an osmotically downhill movement of isotonic fluid out of the tubule obtains. Reversal of the osmotic gradient induces a reversal of flow but the inward moving fluid is diluted. The tubular cells seem to inhibit the backwash of Na+. If the osmotic gradient induces an outflow of fluid out of the tubule no influx of Na+ occurs even in the presence of a concentration gradient for Na+ in the opposite direction. The Na+-concentration in the urine falls considerably below that of the perfusion fluid. This finding indicates Na+-reabsorption against a concentration gradient. Upon blocking of the Na+-transport by Furosemid water enters the tubules. The results of the experiments in which the Na+-transport was blocked by Furosemid prove that the tubules are impermeable for Na+ in the direction of secretion. The “dilution” of the tubular fluid as a result of an osmotic gradient which induces an influx of water isnot due to a reabsorption outbalancing “secretion”. If instead of the easily penetrating NaCl the slowly penetrating Na+-cyclohexanesulphamate is used, less Na+ is transported. However, in every other respect the results obtained are similar to those described above.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Vier Wochen nach Klammerung einer Nierenarterie wurde die Funktion des distalen Tubulus untersucht. In der ungeklammerten, unter dem hohen Blutdruck stehenden Niere blieb die Tubulusflüssigkeit bis 90% distaler Tubuluslänge hypoton. Dies wird auf eine erhöhten Flüssigkeitseinstrom aus der Henleschen Schleife zurückgeführt; eine verminderte Wasserpermeabilität des distalen Tubulus konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. In der geklammerten Niere war mit Ausnahme des frühdistalen Abschnittes die Natriumkonzentration on jeder Stelle des distalen Konvolutes signifikant höher als in der ungeklammerten Niere und in Kontrollnieren. Auch fehlte im distalen Tubulus der geklammerten Niere eine Nettokaliumsekretion. die distale Gleichgewichtskonzentration für Natrium war auf der geklammerten Seite erhöht, auf der ungeklammerten Seite normal. Der isotone Natriumausstrom (Methode des gespaltenen Tropfens) war in der geklammerten Niere vermindert, in der ungeklammerten Niere erhöht. Die frühdistale Harnstoffkonzentration war in der ungeklammerten Niere gegenüber der geklammerten Niere und Nieren von Kontrollratten erniedrigt. Spätdistal war TF/P-Harnstoff in beiden Nieren gleich. Beide Nieren hatten ein normales Glomerulumfiltrat und normale tubuläre Passagezeiten mit Ausnahme einer verkürzten Schleifenzeit in der ungeklammerten Niere. Die Befunde werden dahingehend interpretiert, daß der aktive Natriumtransport im distalen Tubulus der beiden Nieren voneinander verschieden ist, möglicherweise infolge des unterschiedlichen Reningehaltes der beiden Nieren.
    Notes: Summary Four weeks after constricting one renal artery distal tubular function was studied using the micropuncture technique. In the untouched kidney tubular fluid remained hypotonic up to 90% distal tubular length. We believe this to be the result of the high inflow of tubular fluid from Henle's loop. A reduced permeability for water could not be demonstrated. Except for the early part of the distal tubule there was a marked increase in sodium concentration in the clamped kidney as compared to values obtained in the untouched one and in kindneys of control animals. In addition no potassium secretion could be observed in the clamped kidney. The distal steadystate concentration for sodium was increased in the clamped kidney and normal in the untouched one. Reabsorptive half-time, measured by the split droplet technique, was prolonged in the clamped kidney and shortened in the untouched one. Early distal urea concentration was lower in the untouched kidney than in the clamped one and in control kidneys, while at the end of the distal tubule urea concentrations did not differ significantly. Both kidneys had normal glomerular filtration rates and proximal tubular transit times, whereas a shortened transit time through Henle's loop of the untouched kidney was found. The results indicate that active sodium transport in the distal tubule of the clamped kidney differs from that of the untouched one, possibly due to the different renin concentration in both kidneys.

    Notes: Summary At different times after injection into the renal artery of131I-albumin, the distribution of the tracer in kidneys of the rabbit and the dog was illustrated by a series of autoradiograms. In order to determine the mean circulation time for albumin in the kidney, the radioactivity over the kidney was simultaneously registered by external monitoring. A short mean circulation time was measured for albumin (plasma) passing cortex, and a longer one for that fraction of the albumin that passed through medulla, papillae, and capsule. The investigation rendered probable that the mean circulation time for blood through the kidney determined by the external technique applies to blood passing cortex. The circulation times for blood through medulla, papillae, and capsule are not included in the calculation of the mean circulation time.

Daraus kann geschlossen werden, daß in Hundenieren die proximalen Tubuluszellen wohl 18-Aldosteronglucuronid aus Aldosteron bilden und an das Tubuluslumen abgeben, während im Nierenarterienblut vorhandenes 18-Aldosteronglucuronid nur glomerulär filtriert und ausgeschieden wird.
    Notes: Summary In stop flow experiments during infusion of 1,2-3H-18-aldosterone glucuronide there was no proximal tubular secretion of this metabolite in contrary to experiments during infusion of 1,2-3H-aldosterone. The discrepancy must be explained by formation of 1,2-3H-aldosterone glucuronide out of3H-aldosterone in proximal tubular cells, while the 1,2-3H-18-aldosterone glucuronide in the plasma of the renal artery blood is only filtered in the glomerulum.

Das im Blutplasma vorhandene 1,2-3H-18-Aldosteronglucuronid wird nur glomerular filtriert. 2. Die renale Clearance von 18-Aldosteronglucuronid, die etwa das Fünffache der Inulinclearance beträgt [13, 15], mu\ zu vier Fünfteln auf Bildung von 18-Aldosteronglucuronid durch die proximalen [15] Tubuluszellen zurückgeführt werden. 3. Das Ausma\ der renalen Bildung von 18-Aldosteronglucuronid liegt in einer Grö\enordnung von 80% der Gesamtmenge 18-Aldosteronglucuronid im 24 StdUrin.
    Notes: Summary After an intravenous injection of 1,2-3H-aldosterone the ratios of 1,23H-tetrahydroaldosterone glucuronide to 1,2-3H-aldosterone glucuronide in the blood plasma of three normal and two nephrectomized persons were compared. In the three normal persons the ratios were of the same magnitude as in the two nephrectomized persons. On the basis of glomerular filtration of tetrahydroaldosterone glucuronide, as previously demonstrated by renal clearance studies in man [13, 15] and stop flow experiments in dogs [6], we made the following deductions: 1. 18aldosterone glucuronide in blood plasma is only filtered in the glomerulum. 2. The renal clearance of 18-aldosterone glucuronide, as investigated during aldosterone infusion in man [13, 15], therefore must be explained by glomerular filtration of only one fifth and by formation of four fifth of 18-aldosterone glucuronide by proximal [15] tubular cells. 3. This means that about 80% of 18-aldosterone glucuronide excreted in urine is formed by the kidneys.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei narkotisierten Hunden wurden die arteriovenösen Differenzen der gesamten und der einzelnen freien Fettsäuren (FFS) am Herzen, am elektrisch stimulierten Skeletmuskel (M. gastrocnemius) und an der Niere bei verschieden hoher arterieller FFS-Konzentration untersucht. Die Konzentration der gesamten FFS wurde titrimetrisch, ihre Zusammensetzung wurde gaschromatographisch bestimmt. Bei einer Steigerung der FFS-Konzentration durch Noradrenalininfusionen stiegen die Anteile der öl- und der Palmitinsäure an, und die Anteile der Stearin- und der Linolsäure sanken ab. Bei einer Senkung der FFS-Konzentration durch Glucoseinfusionen nahmen die Anteile der öl- und der Palmitoleinsäure ab, und die Anteile der Palmitin- und der Stearinsäure nahmen zu. Unter Kontrollbedingungen entfielen am Herzen 44% der gesamten FFS-Extraktion auf die öl- und 24% auf die Palmitinsäure, am Skeletmuskel entfielen 43% auf die öl- und 29% auf die Palmitinsäure. Bei einer Steigerung der arteriellen FFS-Konzentration durch Noradrenalin extrahierten Herz- und Skeletmuskel nur noch öl-, Palmitin- und Palmitoleinsäure. Gleichzeitig wurde im Herz Stearin- und Linolsäure und im Skeletmuskel Stearinsäure produziert. In der Niere entfielen unter Kontrollbedingungen je 40% der Gesamt-FFS-Extraktion auf die Palmitin- und die ölsäure. Es wird gefolgert, daß die öl-, die Palmitin- und die Palmitoleinsäure gegenüber den anderen FFS bevorzugt als Energiequellen benutzt werden, weil bei gleicher arterieller Konzentration höhere Extraktionen für diese drei FFS gemessen wurden. Noradrenalin bewirkt, wahrscheinlich durch Aktivierung von Lipase, im Herzen und im arbeitenden Skeletmuskel einen Abbau von gespeicherten oder im Plasma transportierten Triglyceriden.
    Notes: Summary The arteriovenous differences of total and individual free fatty acids (FFA) have been determined in the myocardium, in the electrically stimulated skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius) and in the kidney of closed chest anesthetized dogs. The concentration of total FFA was determined by titration, their composition was determined by gaschromatography. When the arterial concentration of total FFA was increased by norepinephrine infusions the percentage of olic and of palmitic acid increased and the percentage of stearic and linolic acid decreased. When the concentration of total FFA was decreased by glucose infusions the percentage of olic and palmitolic acid decreased and the percentage of palmitic and stearic acid increased. Under control conditions in the myocardium 44% of the total FFA extraction were related to olic and 24% to palmitic acid and in the skeletal muscle 43% were related to olic and 29% to palmitic acid. During norepinephrine induced increases of arterial FFA concentration myocardium and skeletal muscle extracted only olic, palmitic and palmitolic acid. At the same time in the myocardium stearic and linolic acid and in the skeletal muscle stearic acid was produced. In the kidney under control conditions 40% of the total FFA extraction were related to palmitic and 40% to olic acid. Since the extraction of olic, palmitic and palmitolic acid was higher than the extraction of other FFA at comparable arterial concentrations, it is concluded, that these three FFA are used in preference to other FFA as energy sources. Norepinephrine causes, probably via activation of lipase, in the myocardium and in the working skeletal muscle a breakdown of stored or in plasma transported triglycerides.
