    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La préparation de coupes fines, plano-parallèles d'os non décalcifié, d'épaisseur connue, pour la réalisation de microradiographies et d'autoradiographies quantitatives est décrite. Pour éviter que des fractures de l'os se produisent, le fragment osseux fixé doit être inclus dans un matériel approprié qui ne doit pas se rétracter. Un minimum de force doit être appliqué à l'échantillon pendant la coupe pour éviter des vibrations. La méthode décrite, utilisant une scie circulaire tournant à faible vitesse, est adéquate. Le polissage final des surfaces du specimen est réalisé sur une machine à polir modifiée. On peut préparer un grand nombre de coupes en relativement peu de temps pour des études statistiques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Herstellung von dünnen, parallelgestellten Schnitten von unentkalktem Knochen bekannter Dicke zur quantitativen Auto- und Mikroradiographie wird beschrieben. Der Knochen hat die Tendenz, unter Druck zu brechen. Um diese Schwierigkeit zu überwinden, ist es sehr wichtig, daß die fixierte Knochenprobe genügend vom Einbettungsmaterial durchdrungen wird und daß das Einschlußmittel sich vom Knochenrand weg kontrahiert. Beim Schneiden darf nur ein minimaler Druck auf die Probe ausgeübt werden, damit der Knochen nicht zertrümmert wird. Die beschriebene Methode, bei welcher eine spezielle Einrichtung zum Auftropfen des Schmiermittels den Gebrauch einer langsam rotierenden Kreissäge ermöglichte, erwies sich als günstig. Das schließliche Polieren der Oberflächen der Proben wurde auf einer modifizierten Schleifmaschine ausgeführt. Mit dieser Methode kann eine große Anzahl von Schnitten in relativ kurzer Zeit hergestellt werden; dies ist sehr wichtig, um eine angemessene Anzahl von Proben für statistische Analysen zu erhalten.
    Notes: Abstract The preparation of thin, parallel-sided sections of undecalcified bone of known thickness for quantitative auto- and micro-radiography is described. To overcome the tendency of the bone to fracture when stressed, it is essential that the fixed sample of bone should be adequately penetrated by the embedding material and that the mounting material should not contract away from the edge of the bone. Minimum stress must be applied to the sample when cutting or the bone may be shattered. The method described, using a gravity feed to a low speed circular saw, has been found to be suitable. Final polishing of the surfaces of the specimen was carried out on a modified lapping machine. Large numbers of sections can be prepared in a relatively short time by the method and this is essential to obtain an adequate number of samples for statistical analysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La cinétique de la formation et de la transformation des précipités de phosphate de calcium, obtenus en mélangeant de volumes égaux de solutions à 6×10−3 M de calcium total et/ou phosphate total est étudiée à 25°C. Les solutions de phosphate sont préajustées à un pH de 7.4. Les changements de pH et de turbidité des solutions sont suivis simultanément en fonction du temps. Les précipités sont isolés à des intervalles de temps variables et caractérisés par diverses méthodes physico-chimiques. Initialement un précipité avec un rapport molaire Ca/P de 1.5, amorphe aux rayons X et en diffraction électronique, est formé. Le spectre IR indique la présence de PO 4 3− et de HPO 4 2− . Après une période métastable, on observe la précipitation d'un matériel cristallin dans ou sur la phase amorphe. Vingt quatre heures après préparation de l'échantillon les précipités présentent surtout les caractères du phosphate octocalcique.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der Bildung und Transformation von Calciumphosphat-Niederschlägen wurde bei 25°C untersucht. Es wurden dazu gleiche Volumen von Lösungen gemischt, bei einer Konzentration von 6×10−3M totales Calcium und/oder totales Phosphat. Die Phosphatlösungen wurden zuerst auf pH 7,4 eingestellt. Veränderungen des pH und Trübung der Lösungen wurden gleichzeitig als eine Funktion der Zeit aufgezeichnet. Niederschläge wurden in verschiedenen Zeitintervallen isoliert und mit verschiedenen physiko-chemischen Methoden charakterisiert. Am Anfang wurde ein Niederschlag mit einem molaren Ca/P-Verhältnis von 1,5, im Röntgenbild und in der Elektronendiffraktion amorph, gebildet. Infrarotspektren deuteten die Anwesenheit von PO 4 3− - und HPO 4 2− -Ionen an. Nach einer metastabilen Periode erfolgte ein Niederschlag aus kristallinem Material innerhalb oder auf der amorphen Substanz. 24 Std nach der Herstellung der Proben zeigten die Niederschläge in der Hauptsache die Charakteristiken von Octocalciumphosphat.
    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of the formation and transformation of calcium phosphate precipitates obtained by mixing equal volumes of solutions, 6×10−3 M in total calcium and/or total phosphate was investigated at 25°. The phosphate solutions were preadjusted to pH 7.4. Changes of the pH and turbidity of the solutions were followed simultaneously as a function of time. Precipitates were isolated at various time intervals and characterized by different physicochemical methods. Initially a precipitate with a molar Ca/P ratio of 1.5, amorphous to X-ray and electron diffraction was formed. IR spectra indicated the presence of PO 4 3− and HPO 4 2− ions. After a period of metastability, precipitation of a crystalline material within or upon the amorphous matter occurred. Twenty four hours after sample preparation the precipitates showed mainly the characteristics of octacalcium phosphate.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Par marquagein vivo à la tétracycline et analyse histologique de coupes non décalcifiées d'os cortical, la vitesse moyenne d'érosion des fronts ostéoclastiques (cones coupants) de systèmes de Havers a été mesurée. Cette vitesse traduit la fonction d'ostéoclastes isolés dans le cône coupant et est l'inverse de la vitesse d'apposition (l'épaisseur de l'os déposé par une couche unique d'ostéoblastes par unité de temps). Au niveau de cinquante trois zones de remaniements haversiens, dans plusieurs coupes de quatre côtes différentes de trois chiens adultes, la vitesse longitudinale d'érosion (dans la direction de l'axe longitudinal de l'ostéone) est d'environ 39±14 μ/jour, alors que la vitesse d'érosion radiaire, c'est-á-dire l'élargissement centrifuge du sommet du cône coupant vers son plus large diamètre, est d'environ 7.1±3μ/jour. Etant donné que la dynamique du remaniement osseux lamellaire de l'homme et du chien est très semblable, ces résultats peuvent aussi être appliqués á l'homme.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurdenin vivo Tetracylin-Markierung und histologische Analyse von unentkalkten Corticalis-Längsschnitten verwendet, um die durchschnittliche Geschwindigkeit zu messen, mit der die Osteoclastenkegel (cutting cones) der sich entwickelten havers'schen Systeme im Knochen vorrücken. Diese Geschwindigkeit reflektiert die Resorptionstätigkeit eines einzelnen Osteoclasten, im Gegensatz zu Appositionsrate, welche die Intensität der Matrixproduktion durch die Osteoblasten in einer bestimmten Zeitspanne angibt. Bei 53 im Umbau begriffenen Havers'schen Systemen in mehreren Schnitten von vier verschiedenen Rippen dreier erwachsener Hunde war die durchschnittliche Geschwindigkeit des longitudinalen Vorrückens 39±14μ/Tag, während die durchschnittliche Erweiterung des Durchmessers an der Spitze des Resorptionskanales einen Betrat von 7.1±3 μ/Tag ausmachte. Da die Dynamik der Umbauvorgänge im kompakten Lamellenknochen bei Hund und Mensch vergleichbar ist, kann angenommen werden, daß die ermittelten Werte auch für den Menschen zutreffend sind.
    Notes: Abstract Using tetracycline labellingin vivo and histological analysis of undecalcified longitudinal sections of cortical bone, the average speed was measured with which osteoclastic fronts (cutting cones) of the evolving Haversian systems erode bone. This speed reflects the function of the individual osteoclasts within the cutting cone and is opposite to the appositional rate (the thickness of bone deposited by a monolayer of osteoblasts in unit time). In fifty-three Haversian remodeling sites in several sections from four different ribs of three adult dogs, the longitudinal erosion rate (in the direction of long axis of the osteon) averaged 39±14 μ/day, whereas the radial erosion rate, that is the centrifugal enlargement from the tip of the cutting cone to its largest diameter, averaged 7.1±3 μ/day. Since human and canine lamellar bone remodeling dynamics appear closely similar, the estimates in this study may also apply to man.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé De la collagénase osseuse de souris, une collagénase tissulaire spécifique, est isolée du milieu de culture tissulaire d'un tibia de souris de 5 jours. En combinant une précipitation de (NH4)2SO4, une filtration moléculaire sur tamis et la chromatographie par échangeurs d'ions, on obtient une fraction d'un rendement d'environ 11%, qui possède une activité enzymatique spécifique 120 fois plus élevée que l'extrait original total. Le poids moléculaire de la fraction, contenant l'activité enzymatique, est d'environ 41000, en se basant sur des études de filtration par tamis moléculaire calibré. Il existe au moins deux fractions principales distinctes et une fraction plus faible, ayant des activités en collagénase et des points isoélectriques distincts. Il n'est pas démontré que ces fractions constituent des isoenzymes de l'os ou de l'os et du cartilage, ou sont dérivés d'une seule enzyme, peu dégradée par l'extraction et la purification. L'activité de la collagénase est inhibée par l'EDTA, la cystéine, le sérum de cheval; mais elle résiste au fluorure de phénylméthyle-sulfonyle, à l'acide epsilon aminocaproique et à l'inhibiteur de trypsine de graine de soja.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Mäuseknochen-Kollagenase, eine spezifische Gewebe-Kollagenase, wurde aus Gewebekulturmedien von 5 Tage alten Mäusetibiae isoliert. Durch eine Kombination von (NH4)2SO4-Ausfällung, Gelfiltration und Ionenaustausch-Chromatographie wurde mit ungefähr 11% Ausbeute eine Fraktion erhalten, die eine spezifische Enzymaktivität besaß, welche 120mal größer war als diejenige des ursprünglichen unbehandelten Extraktes. Das Molekulargewicht der die Enzymaktivität enthaltenden Fraktion war ungefähr 41000, was durch kalibrierte Gelfiltrations-Untersuchungen bestimmt wurde. Mindestens zwei verschiedene Hauptfraktionen und eine kleinere Fraktion mit Kollagenaseaktivität wurden erhalten, welche verschiedene isoelektrische Punkte hatten. Es ist unklar, ob diese Fraktionen Isoenzyme aus Knochen oder aus Knochen und Knorpel darstellen, oder ob sie von einem einzelnen Enzym stammen, welches durch die verwendeten Extraktions- und Reinigungstechniken minimal degradiert wurde. Die Kollagenaseaktivität wurde durch EDTA, Cystein und Pferdeserum gehemmt, nicht aber durch Phenylmethylsulfonylfluorid, Epsilon-amino-capronsäure oder Soyabohnen-Trypsin-Hemmer.
    Notes: Abstract Mouse bone collagenase, a specific tissue collagenase, was isolated from the tissue culture media of 5 day old mouse tibiae. By a combination of (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, molecular sieve filtration and ion exchange chromatography a fraction was obtained with a yield of approximately 11% which had a specific enzyme activity 120-fold greater than the original crude extract. The molecular weight of the fraction containing the enzyme activity was approximately 41000 as determined by calibrated molecular sieve filtration studies. There were at least two distinct major fractions and one minor fraction possessing collagenase activity which had distinct isoelectric points. It is not clear whether these fractions represent isoenzymes from bone or from bone and cartilage, or are derived from a single enzyme which has been minimally degraded by the extraction and purification techniques used. Collagenase activity was inhibited by EDTA, cysteine and horse serum, but not by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, epsilon amino caproic acid or soybean trypsin inhibitor.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les concentrations de pyrophosphate inorganiques (PPi), d'orthophosphate et de calcium ont été déterminées dans le cartilage au repos, en prolifération, hypertrophique et calcifié au niveau d'épiphyses foetales de veaux et aussi dans l'os spongieux, périosté et compact. Dans les échantillons de cartilage, le contenu en PPi augmente progressivement dans l'ordre énoncé ci-dessus, de 8.59 μg P/g en poids sec de cartilage au repos à 236 μg P/g en poids sec dans le cartilage calcifié. Cependant, le rapport PPi sur orthophosphate suit une relation inverse: il est plus élevé dans la zone de repos et diminue considérablement lorsque le tissu se calcifie. Le rôle possible du PPi, en inhibant la précipitation de phosphate de calcium amorphe (ACP) et en ralentissant la transformation d'ACP en hydroxyleapatite (HA) dans les tissus calcifiés, est envisagé par rapport à d'autres facteurs, tels que le collagène, le magnésium, les phospholipides et les protéines-polysaccharides, qui peuvent aussi intervenirin vivo. Pour l'instant, aucun facteur isolé ne peut être considéré comme un régulateur physiologique certain.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der Gehalt an anorganischem Pyrophosphat (PPi), Orthophosphat und Calcium wurde in ruhendem, proliferierendem, hypertrophischem und verkalktem Knorpel von foetalen Kalbsepiphysen und auch in spongiösem, periostalem und kompaktem Knochen gemessen. Bei den Knorpelproben nahm der Gehalt an PPi progressiv in der oben angegebenen Reihenfolge zu: von 8,59 μg P/g Trockengewicht in ruhendem Knorpel bis zu 236 μg P/g Trockengewicht in verkalktem Knorpel. Das PPi/Orthophosphat-Verhältnis hingegen verlief in umgekehrter Richtung; es war am höchsten in der ruhenden Zone und nahm dramatisch ab, wenn das Gewebe verkalkte. Die mögliche Rolle von PPi bei der Hemmung der Ausfällung von amorphem Calciumphosphat (ACP) und bei der Verlangsamung der Umwandlung von ACP in Hydroxyapatit (HA) in verkalkenden Geweben wird in bezug auf folgende anderen Faktoren, welche den Vorgang in vivo ebenfalls beieinflussen könnten, diskutiert: Collagen, Magnesium, Phospholipide und Proteinpolysaccharide. Bis jetzt war es nicht möglich, einen einzelnen Faktor als sicheren physiologischen Regulator zu identifizieren.
    Notes: Abstract The amounts of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), orthophosphate and calcium have been measured in resting, proliferating, hypertrophic and calcified cartilage from foetal calf epiphyses and also in cancellous, periosteal and compact bone. In the cartilage samples, the content of PPi increased progressively in the order named above, from values of 8.59 μg P/g dry weight in resting cartilage to 236 μg P/g dry weight in calcified cartilage. However, the ratio of PPi to orthophosphate followed the reverse relationship and was highest in the resting zone and fell dramatically as the tissue calcified. The possible role of PPi in inhibiting the precipitation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and in the slowing the transformation of ACP to hydroxyapatite (HA) in calcifying tissues is discussed in relation to other factors, such as collagen, magnesium, phospholipids and proteinpolysaccharides, which might also influence the processin vivo. At present, no single factor can be identified as a proven physiological regulator.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La vitesse de croissance normale en longueur de la métaphyse proximale du tibia est déterminée chez le rat Sprague-Dawley entre les âges de 20 et 100 jours, en utilisant la méthode à la tétracycline. Le taux de croissance ne varie que légèrement dans les groupes d'âges différents. Il est plus élevé chez les animaux jeunes et décroit considérablement en fonction de l'augmentation de l'âge. Les rats mâles présentent une croissance plus élevée que les femelles. Cette étude a pour but de mettre au point une méthode permettant de déterminer les facteurs expérimentaux, liés à la croissance en longueur du rat.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die normale Längenwachstums-Geschwindigkeit der proximalen Wachstumsplatte der Tibia wurde bei Sprague-Dawley-Ratten in einem Alter zwischen 20 und 100 Tagen mittels der Tetracyclinmethode gemessen. Die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit variierte nur wenig innerhalb der einzelnen Altersgruppen. Die Geschwindigkeit war bei jungen Tieren am höchsten und nahm mit zunehmendem Alter beträchtlich ab. Männliche Ratten wuchsen schneller als weibliche. Diese Arbeit dient als Grundlage, um die experimentelle Beeinflussung des Längenwachstums der Ratte abschätzen zu können.
    Notes: Abstract The rate of normal growth in length from the proximal growth plate of the tibia in the Sprague-Dawley rat was measured between 20 and 100 days of age using the tetracycline method. The growth rate varied only slightly within different age groups. The rate was highest in young animals and decreased considerably with increasing age. Male rats grew faster than female. This study is intended to provide a base for an evaluation of experimental influence on the growth in length of the rat.

Les largeurs totales et médullaires de la diaphyse sont mesurées sur des radiographies antéro-postérieurs. le volume cortical, le volume externe et le poids de cendres de la diaphyse, d'une longueur de 1 cm, sont aussi déterminés. A partir des mesures morphométriques, les estimations des propriétés géométriques et densitométriques de la diaphyse et de l'os total sont analysées. Quelques estimations des propriétés géométriques ont pu être étudiées en estiamnt que la diaphyse du métacarpe est un cylindre. Les rapports entre les estimations et les propriétés géométriques et densitométriques sont envisagés et l'exactitude d'un modèle cylindrique est évaluée.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Länge, äußerer Umfang und Gewicht von 45 sauberen, trockenen zweiten Metacarpalknochen wurden bestimmt. Die totale Breite und die Markhöhlenbreite des mittleren Schaftes wurden mit posterior-anterioren Röntgenaufnahmen gemessen. Corticaler und äußerer Umfang und Aschgewicht eines 1 cm langen Stückes vom Schaft jedes Knochens wurden ebenfalls gemessen. Mittels morphometrischer Messungen wurden Schätzungen der geometrischen und densitometrischen Eigenschaften der Mittelschaftregion und des ganzen Knochens berechnet. Einige Schätzungen der geometrischen Eigenschaften wurden abgeleitet unter der Annahme, daß der metacarpale Schaft ein Zylinder ist. Die Beziehungen zwischen den Schätzungen und den geometrischen und densitometrischen Eigenschaften selbst wurden untersucht, und die Gültigkeit des Zylindermodelles wurde geprüft.
    Notes: Abstract The lengths, external volumes and weights of 45 clean, dry, second metacarpals were determined. The midshaft total and medullary widths were measured on postero-anterior radiographs. The cortical volume, external volume and ash weight of a 1 cm length of the shaft of each bone were also measured. From the morphometric measurements estimators of the geometric and densitometric properties of the midshaft section and of the whole bone were computed. Some estimators of the geometric properties were derived on the assumption that the metacarpal shaft is a cylinder. The relationships between the estimators and the geometric and densitometric properties themselves were examined and the validity of the cylinder model was explored.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé De l'adjuvant de Freund, constitué deMycobacterium butyricum tués, en suspension dans de l'huile minérale, provoque une arthrite chez les rats qui rappelle certaines formes d'arthrites chez l'Homme. L'arthrite comporte une inflammation de tissu mou, une formation de pannus et deux ostéopathies distinctes, une résorption ossuse accélérée et une formation anormale d'os périarticulaire. L'étidronate disodique, administré à raison de 4 mg/kg/jour par voie cutanée, à partir de l'injection de l'adjuvant, inhibe nettement la résorption osseuse, la formation de pannus, l'érosion inflammatoire de cartilage et la formation d'os pathologique, en rapport avec l'adjuvant. Après arrêt du traitement à l'étidronate disodique, la formationd'os pathologique devient visible radiographiquement deux semaines après l'arrêt du traitement. Le rôle de l'étidronate disodique sur la régulation de la résorption osseuse et sur la concentration du calcium et du phosphate, dans les tissus environnants, ainsi que les rapports des phénomènes arthritiques avec ce type d'expérience sont envisagés. Les résultats suggèrent la possibilité de l'emploi de l'étidronate disodique dans certaines formes d'arthrites humaines.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Freund's Adjuvans, das aus abgetötetem und in Mineralöl suspendiertem Mycobacterium butyricum besteht, verursacht bei Ratten eine arthritische Reaktion, welche gewissen Arthritisformen beim Menschen ähnlich ist. Die arthritische Reaktion besteht in einer Entzündung der Weichteile, einer Pannusbildung und zwei verschiedenen Osteopathien, ferner in einer beschleunigten Knochenresorption und einer abnormen periartikulären Knochenbildung. Wird gleichzeitig mit der Verabreichung des Adjuvans Dinatriumetidronat in einer Dosis von 4 mg/kg/Tag subcutan gegeben, so werden sowohl die Knochenresorption, als auch die Pannusbildung, die entzündliche Knorpelerosion und die mit der Adjuvansgabe verbundene pathologische Knochenbildung merklich gehemmt. Wurde die Dinatriumetidronat-Behandlung abgebrochen, so wurde die pathologische Knochenbildung innerhalb 2 Wochen nach Behandlungsabbruch röntgenologisch sichtbar. Die Kontrollfunktion des Dinatriumetidronates bei der Knochenresorption und bei der Calcium- und Phosphatkonzentration in den umliegenden Geweben, sowie die Beziehung dieser Substanz zu den arthritischen Prozessen, wie sie bei diesem Rattenversuch vorliegen, werden besprochen. Auf Grund dieser Resultate ist eine potentielle Anwendung des Dinatriumetidronates bei gewissen Formen der menschlichen Arthritis denkbar.
    Notes: Abstract Freund's Adjuvant, consisting of deadMycobacterium butyricum suspended in mineral oil, produces an arthritic response in rats which resembles certain forms of arthritis in man. The arthritic response consists of soft tissue inflammation, pannus formation and two separate osteopathies; accelerated bone resorption and abnormal periarticular bone formation. Disodium etidronate administered at 4 mg/kg/day subcutaneously from the time of adjuvant injection markedly inhibited bone resorption, pannus formation, inflammatory erosion of cartilage, and the pathologic bone formation associated with the adjuvant model. When the disodium etidronate treatments were discontinued, the pathologic bone formation became radiologically visible within two weeks after cessation of treatment. The role of disodium etidronate in controlling bone resorption and surrounding tissue concentration of calcium and phosphate and the relation to arthritic processes in this rat model are discussed. The data suggest a potential use of disodium etidronate in some forms of human arthritis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une fluorose squelettique est induite chez des lapins soumis à des régimes adéquates et faibles en calcium. Les lapins soumis à un régime pauvre en calcium sont plus sensibles à l'intoxication fluorée, ainsi que le démontre les exostoses et la rétention plus élvée de fluor du fémur. La matrice collagène de l'os et la synthèse de l'hexosamine, étudiée par l'incorporation de proline (U)14C dans le collagène et de glucose (1)14C dans l'hexosamine, ne semblent pas affecter par le fluor et par la concentration de calcium dans le régime des lapins.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Skelettfluorose wurde bei Kaninchen hervorgerufen, welche ausreichende und niedrige Calciumdiäten erhielten. Kaninchen mit einem niedrigen Calciumgehalt in der Nahrung entwickelten eine stärkere Fluoridintoxikation, was sich durch Exostosebildung und höhere Fluoridretention in den Femora zeigte. Die Synthese des Knochenmatirx-Collagens und der Hexosamine [untersucht mittels Einbau von Prolin (U)14C in Collagen und Glukose (1)14C in Hexosamin] wurde weder durch Fluorid noch durch den Calciumgehalt der Kaninchen-Nahrung beeinflußt.
    Notes: Abstract Skeletal fluorosis was induced in rabbits fed adequate and low calcium diets. Rabbits on a low calcium diet were found to suffer more from fluoride intoxication as evidenced by exostosis formation and higher retention of fluoride in the femora. Bone matrix collagen and hexosamine synthesis assessed by14C-proline (U) incorporation into collagen and14C-glucose (1) into hexosamine were found to be unaffected by the fluoride as well as by the level of calcium in the diets of rabbits.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une étude microradiographique et histologique de l'os cortical et spongieux a permis de mettre en évidence des remaniements peu profonds chez des vaches, présentant une sévère hypocalcémie et des parésies peu avant la mise à bas. Les surfaces de l'os spongieux et haversien apparaissent inactives et identiques à des coupes de vaches non pleines ou ne fournissant pas de lait. Les surfaces inactives sont lisses et bordées par une zone de radiodensité augmentée. L'absence de réponse ostéoclastique n'est pas due à l'accumulation de tissu ostéoide le long des surfaces d'os haversien et spongieux. La lactation est associée à une augmentation triple de la résorption de l'os spongieux de 7 à 10 jours post-partum chez les vaches témoins. En soumettant les vaches à un régime pauvre en calcium pendant 30 jours, on observe une hypocalcémie significative et une augmentation double de la résorption osseuse. L'adjonction de doses pharmacologiques de vitamine D (30 millions d'unités par jour), du 20ème au 30ème jour de l'administration du régime pauvre en calcium provoque une résorption osseuse additionnelle (environ quintuplée), surtout à la surface de l'os spongieux. L'adjonction de vitamine D empêche le développement de l'hypocalcémie, mais ne produit pas une hypercalcémie décelable. Des concentrations identiques de vitamine D, administrées, pendant 3 à 10 jours, à des vaches, ingérant du calcium et du phosphore à doses normales, provoquent une hypercalcémie et des lacunes de résorption de l'os cortical. La vitamine D semble plus efficace que les régimes pauvres en calcium pour agir sur l'homéostasie du calcium, en modifiant le métabolisme squelettique des vaches adultes.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Durch mikroradiographische und histologische Bestimmungen des kortikalen und trabekulären Knochens konnte ein niedriger Knochenumsatz bei Kühen nachgewiesen werden, die kurz vor dem Kalbern ein Syndrom von schwerer Hypocalcaemie und Parese entwickelten. Die trabekulären und Haversschen Oberflächen schienen inaktiv und sahen Schnitten von nicht säugenden und nicht trächtigen Kühen ähnlich. Die inaktiven Oberflächen waren glatt und von einer Zone erhöhter Röntgendichte umgeben. Der Ausfall der Osteoklastenreaktion beruhte nicht auf einer Anhäufung von Osteoid längs der trabekulären und Haversschen Oberflächen. Während der Laktation nahm die Resorption des trabekulären Knochens vom siebten bis zum zehnten Tag postpartum bei Kontrollkühen um das Dreifache zu. Wurden die Kühe während 30 Tagen mit einer calciumarmen Diät gefüttert, so entstanden eine signifikante Hypocalcaemie und eine zweifache Zunahme der Knochenresorption. Wurde vom 20. bis 30. Tag der calciumarmen Diätperiode Vitamin D in pharmakologischen Dosen (30 Millionen Einheiten pro Tag) zugesetzt, so erhöhte sich die Knochenresorption noch mehr (ungefähr um das Fünffache), vor allem längs der trabekulären Oberflächen. Das zugesetzte Vitamin D verhinderte die Bildung einer Hypocalcaemie, verursachte jedoch keine nachweisbare Hypercalcaemie. Gleiche Vitamin D-Dosen, die während 3 bis 10 Tagen an Kühe mit einer normalen Calcium- und Phosphateinnahme abgegeben wurden, verursachten eine Hypercalcaemie und zahlreiche Resorptionsräume im kortikalen Knochen. Es scheint, daß Vitamin D wirksamer ist als eine calciumarme Diät in der Beeinflussung der Calciumhomöostase durch Veränderung des Skelettmetabolismus bei ausgewachsenen Kühen.
    Notes: Abstract Microradiographic and histologic evaluation of cortical and trabecular bone revealed a low turnover in cows which developed a syndrome of profound hypocalcemia and paresis near parturition. Trabecular and Haversian surfaces appeared inactive and were similar to sections from nonlactating-nonpregnant cows. The inactive surfaces were smooth and bordered by a zone of increased radiodensity. The failure of osteoclastic response was not due to the accumulation of osteoid along trabecular and Haversian surfaces. Lactation was associated with a threefold increase in resorption of trabecular bone at 7 to 10 days postpartum in control cows. Feeding a calcium-deficient diet to cows for 30 days resulted in a significant hypocalcemia and a twofold increase in bone resorption. The addition of pharmacologic doses of vitamin D (30 million units daily) from the 20th to 30th day of feeding the calcium-deficient diet further increased bone resorption (approximately fivefold), primarily along trabecular surfaces. The added vitamin D prevented hypocalcemia but did not produce a detectable hypercalcemia. Similar levels of vitamin D administered for 3 to 10 days to cows with a normal calcium and phosphorus intake resulted in hypercalcemia and numerous resorption spaces in cortical bone. Vitamin D appeared to be more effective than calcium-deficient diets in influencing calcium homeostasis by altering skeletal metabolism in adult cows.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Cette étude a pour but de déterminer si l'activité métabolique de segments homotypiques de péronés de chien peut être comparée au cours d'une période de trente jours. On a analysé la porosité, la formation simultanée, la résorption et l'apposition. Les examens sont effectués sur des coupes sériées l'aide de la microradiographie et la tétracycline. La distribution dans l'espace de ces divers remaniements est étudiée en construisant des modèles tridimensionnels. Les conclusions suivantes ont pu être tirées: 1. les différences moyennes entre les segments de péronés de chien homotypiques sont moins élevées que les différences moyennes entre les zones hétérotypiques. 2. Le choix de zones homotypiques de péronés comme témoins devrait être limité à des recherches au cours desquelles les différences à mettre en évidence sont plus élevées de 4% pour l'apposition, 2% pour la résorption, 0,6% pour la porosité et 2% pour la formation simultanée. 3. Des quatre paramètres mesurés, la porosité est le plus constant, ne présentant pas de différences significatives entre des segments symétriques. 4. Les corrélations effectuées montrent l'intérêt de l'utilisation de coupes sériées. 5. La résorption physiologique ne s'observe pas exclusivement au niveau de l'os âgé. 6. Les zones d'activité métabolique sont surtout localisées dans certains ostéones, situés surtout en périphérie, et de façon identique au niveau de segments symétriques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der Zweck dieser Untersuchung war, zu bestimmen, ob in einem Zeitraum von 30 Tagen ein zuverlässiger Vergleich der metabolischen Aktivität zwischen homotypischen Segmenten von Hundefibulae möglich ist. Folgende Aktivitäten wurden untersucht: kumulative Knochenbildung, Porosität, Resorption und Apposition. Die Untersuchungen erfolgten in benachbarten Gewebeabschnitten mittels mikroradiographischer und Tetrazyklintechnik. Die räumliche Anordnung dieser verschiedenen Aktivitäten wurde durch die Erstellung eines dreidimensionalen Modelles untersucht. Die Ergebnisse erlaubten folgende Schlußfolgerungen: 1. die durchschnittlichen Unterschiede zwischen homotypischen Hundefibulasegmenten sind viel kleiner als diejenigen zwischen heterotypischen Segmenten; 2. die Verwendung von homotypischen Fibulasegmenten als zuverlässige Kontrollen sollte auf die Untersuchungen beschränkt werden, bei welchen die Unterschiede mindestens über 4% (Apposition), 2% (Resorption), 0,6% (Porosität) und 2% (kumulative Knochenbildung) liegen; 3. von den vier gemessenen Parametern war die Porosität am konstantesten; es zeigten sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen Spiegelsegmenten; 4. zeitliche Korrelationen betonen die Wichtigkeit, alle zugänglichen benachbarten Abschnitte in einer einzelnen Fibula zu verwenden; 5. physiologische Resorption erfolgte nicht nur in alten Knochen; 6. die Zentren metabolischer Aktivität wurden hauptsächlich in spezifisch aktiven Osteonen gefunden, welche vor allem in der Peripherie verteilt waren und zwar in einer auffallend zwischen Spiegelsegmenten übereinstimmenden Anordnung.
    Notes: Abstract This investigation was undertaken to determine if the metabolic activity of homotypic segments of dog fibulae could be reliably compared in a thirty day period. Activities analyzed were: cumulative formation, porosity, resorption and apposition. Analyses were performed on contiguous tissue sections using microradiographic and tetracycline techniques. Spatial arrangements of the various activities were analyzed by constructing three dimensional models. The data permitted the following conclusions: 1) The mean differences between dog homotypic fibular segments are much smaller than the mean differences between heterotypic sites. 2) The use of homotypic fibular sites as valid controls should be limited to investigations in which the differences worth detecting are at least greater than 4% (apposition), 2% (resorption), 0.6% (porosity), and 2% (cumulative formation). 3) Of the four parameters measured, porosity was the most constant, showing no significant differences between mirror segments. 4) Lag correlations emphasize the importance of utilizing all available contiguous sections in a given specimen. 5) Physiologic resorption was not exclusive in old bone. 6) The sites of metabolic activity were predominantly found among specific active osteons which were primarily distributed peripherally in a strikingly similar pattern between mirror segments.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Quatre vingt quinze pour cent du total du calcium et phosphate d'homogénats cellulaires, isolés mécaniquement de l'os, sédimentent avec des particules sub-cellulaires par centrifugation à 15000×G. Une méthode, destinée à isoler et à purifier partiellement cette fraction, riche en calcium, est mise au point par digestion enzymatique avec de la désoxyribonucléase et ultracentrifugation dans 70% de saccharose. Le fragment obtenu contient 10% de produit minéral, sous forme de complexe calcium-phosphate, et des protéines et lipides. Des quantités importantes de phospholipides et RNA sont notées, ainsi que des quantités faibles d'hexosamine et d'acide sialique. Les essais enzymatiques et la microscopie électronique indiquent que la fraction contient plusieurs types différents de particules cytophoniques, mais leur contenu en calcium n'a pu être déterminé.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurde festgestellt, daß 95% des gesamten Calcium-und Phosphatgehaltes in Zellhomogenaten, welche mechanisch aus Knochen isoliert wurden, mit subzellulären Teilchen in einem Zentrifugenfeld von 15000×G sedimentieren. Zur Isolation und teilweisen Reinigung dieser calciumreichen Fraktion wurde eine Methode entwickelt, die auf enzymatischer Verdauung mit Desoxyribonuclease und Ultrazentrifugation mittels 70% Sucrose basiert. Der entstandene Niederschlag enthielt 10% Mineral, der in Form eines Calciumphosphat-Komplexes vorlag und einen hohen Gehalt an Protein und Lipid aufwies. Es fanden sich ferner signifikante Mengen von Phospholipid und RNS, dagegen nur kleine Mengen von Hexosamin und Sialsäure. Enzymbestimmungen und Elektronenmikroskopie zeigten, daß die gefundene Fraktion mehrere, sich voneinander unterscheidende Typen von Cytoplasmapartikeln enthielt; ihr Calciumgehalt konnte jedoch anhand der verfügbaren Resultate nicht bestimmt werden.
    Notes: Abstract Ninety-five percent of the total calcium and phosphate in homogenates of cells isolated mechanically from bone was found to sediment with subcellular particles in a centrifugal field of 15000×G. A method was devised for the isolation and partial purification of this calcium-rich fraction by enzymatic digestion with deoxyribonuclease and ultracentrifugation through 70% sucrose. The resultant pellet was 10% mineral, present as some form of calcium-phosphate complex, and was rich in protein and lipid. Significant amounts of phospholipid and RNA were present also, but only small amounts of hexosamine and sialic acid. Enzyme assays and electron microscopy indicated that the fraction contained several different types of cytoplasmic particles but those which contained calcium could not be determined from available data.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'absorption, les concentrations sanguines et osseuses du fluor (F) et du calcium (Ca), à partir de mélanges de monofluorophosphate de sodium (Na2PO3F) et de gluconate de calcium (CaGluc), ont été étudiées chez le rat dans diverses conditions expérimentales. Lorsque Na2PO3F et CaCluc sont ingérés simultanément, dans la proportion pondérale de F/Ca=1/50, on observe un parallelisme de l'absorption et de la concentration squelettique de F et Ca. Ce fait s'explique partiellement par un effet prolongé de l'absorption de F sous l'influence de CaGluc. L'hydrolyse des ions PO3F est faible dans l'estomac, presque totale dans l'intestin, et apparemment totale dans le plasma sanguin. L'ingestion combinée de Na2PO3F-CaCluc donne une élévation comparativement faible, modérée et prolongée de la concentration plasmatique de F, alors qu'aucune action n'est observée pour le Ca plasmatique chez les rats normaux. L'absorption et la concentration squelettique de F et Ca sont augmentées chez des rats déficients en Ca et diminuées chez des rats en hypervitaminose D2.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Absorption, die Konzentration in Blut und die Aufnahme im Skelet von Fluorid (F) und Calcium (Ca), zugeführt als Natriummonofluorphosphat (Na2PO3F) und als Calciumgluconat (CaGluc), wurden bei Ratten unter verschiedenen Bedingungen untersucht. Die hauptsächlichsten Ergebnisse waren folgende: Wurden Na2PO3F und CaGluc in einem Gewichtsverhältnis von F∶Ca=1∶50 gleichzeitig eingenommen, so verliefen die Absorption und die Aufnahme im Skelet von F und Ca parallel. Dies konnte teilweise durch eine verlangsamte F-Absorption unter dem Einfluß von CaGluc erklärt werden. Die Hydrolyse der PO3F-Ionen war im Magen spärlich, im Darm beinahe vollständig und scheinbar vollständig im Blutplasma. Die kombinierte Einnahme von Na2PO3F und CaGluc ergab eine verhältnismäßig langsame, gemäßigte und verzögerte Erhöhung der F-Konzentration im Plasma, während bei normalen Ratten keine Beeinflussung des Plasma-Calciums gefunden wurde. Die F- und Ca-Absorption und deren Aufnahme im Skelet waren bei calciumarmen Ratten erhöht und bei mit Vitamin D2 überdosierten Tieren erniedrigt.
    Notes: Abstract Absorption, blood levels and skeletal uptake of fluorine (F) and calcium (Ca) from combinations of sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) and calcium gluconate (CaGluc) were studied in rats under varying conditions. When Na2PO3F and CaGluc were ingested simultaneously in a ratio by weight F/Ca=1/50, absorption and skeletal uptake of F and Ca were parallel. This was partly due to the prolonged absorption of F under the influence of CaGluc. Hydrolysis of PO3F ions was weak in the stomach, nearly complete in the intestine and apparently complete in the blood plasma. Combined Na2PO3F-CaGluc ingestion gave a comparatively slow, moderate but prolonged elevation of the plasma F levels, while no influence on plasma Ca was found in normal rats. F and Ca absorption and skeletal uptake were increased in Ca-deficient rats and decreased in vitamin D2-intoxicated rats.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des échantillons non lavés de phosphate de calcium amorphe (ACP) contiennent une fraction labile, non remplaçable, riche en phosphate acide avec un rapport Ca/P faible: cette fraction est perdue de façon irréversible au cours du lavage. De l'ACP frais, précipité entre pH 6.6–10.6, varie dans un rapport molaire Ca/P de 1.18 à 1.50 et dans un rapport HPO 4 2− /P total de 33.0% à 10.1%. A pH 7.40, de l'ACP frais a un rapport molaire Ca/P de 1.36±0.02 et contient 22.8 (±2.2)% HPO 4 2− . Les résultats obtenus avec du précipité non lavé ne peuvent s'expliquer par du Ca2+ emprisonné et de l'HPO 4 2− ou du Na+, Cl− et CO 3 2− exogènes. Les phosphates de calcium amorphes constituent une classe de sels ayant des caractères chimiques variables et des propriétés physiques identiques, comparables au verre. Le CaHPO4·xH2O non cristallin peut être un ACP, surtout au cours des phases précoces de formation. A des pH physiologiques, l'ACP se transforme en petits cristaux applatis contenant de fortes quantités de phosphate acide facilement remplaçable. Le fait de laver la couche de surface produit un changement chimique dans les nouveaux cristaux: des cristaux non lavés donnent des diagrammes de diffraction d'apatite peu cristallins, ainsi que des spectres infra-rouges peu nets, intermédiaires entre des apatites et du phosphate octocalcique. Des explications structurales sont proposées et les compositions minérales amorphe/cristalline de l'os et du cartilage sont recalculées.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Ungewaschene Proben von amorphem Calciumphosphat (ACP) enthalten eine unersetzliche labile Fraktion, welche reich an saurem Phosphat ist und ein niederes Ca/P-Verhältnis hat und welche während des Waschprozesses unwiderruflich verloren geht. Natives ACP, welches im pH-Bereich 6,6–10,6 ausgefällt wurde, variierte im molaren Ca/P-Verhältnis zwischen 1,18 und 1,50 und in HPO 4 2− /totales P zwischen 33,0 und 10,1%. Bei pH 7,40 hatte natives ACP ein molares Ca/P-Verhältnis von 1,36±0,02 und enthielt 22,8 (±2,2)% HPO 4 2− . Die Werte beim ungewaschenen Niederschlag rühren weder von aus dem Überstand aufgenommenem Ca2+ und HPO2−, noch von außen kommendem Na+, Cl− und CO 3 2− her. Die amorphen Calciumphosphate werden als eine Klasse von Salzen erkannt, welche veränderliche chemische, aber identische glasartige physicochemische Eigenschaften haben. Nicht kristallines CaHPO4·xH2O kann auch ein ACP sein, besonders in den frühen Bildungsstadien. Bei physiologischem pH verwandelt sich ACP in kleine plattenförmige Kristalle, welche große Mengen von leicht ersetzbarem saurem Phosphat enthalten. Das Waschen dieser Oberflächenschicht erzeugte chemische Veränderungen in den resultierenden Kristallen; ungewaschene Kristalle zeigten ein Diffraktionsmuster, das nur schwach demjenigen des kristallinen Aspatites glich, aber ein schlecht aufgelöstes Infrarotspektrum, welches zwischen Apatit und Octocalciumphosphat war. Es werden strukturelle Erklärungen für alle diese Phenomena diskutiert, und revidierte amorph/kristalline Mineralzusammensetzungen von Knochen und Knorpel wurden neu berechnet.
    Notes: Abstract Unwashed samples of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) contain an irreplaceable labile fraction, rich in acid phosphate and low in Ca/P ratio, which is irreversibly lost during the washing process. Native ACP precipitated in the pH range 6.6–10.6 varied in Ca/P molar ratio from 1.18 to 1.50 and in HPO 4 2− /total P from 33.0% to 10.1%. At pH 7.40, native ACP had a Ca/P molar ratio of 1.36±0.02 and contained 22.8 (±2.2)% HPO 4 2− . Unwashed precipitate data could not be attributed to either trapped supernatant Ca2+ and HPO 4 2− or extraneous Na+, Cl−, and CO 3 2− . The amorphous calcium phosphates are recognized as a class of salts having variable chemical but identical glass-like, physicochemical properties. Non-crystalline CaHPO4·xH2O may also be an ACP, especially during early formative stages. At physiological pH, ACP transforms to small platy crystals containing large amounts of readily-replaceable acid phosphate. Washing this surface layer produced chemical alterations in the resultant crystals; unwashed crystals had poorly-crystalline apatitic diffraction patterns but exhibited poorly-resolved infrared spectra intermediate between apatite and octacalcium phosphate. Structural explanations for all these phenomena are discussed, and revised bone and cartilage amorphous/crystalline mineral compositions have been re-calculated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une méthode efficace et détaillée d'extraction de la matière minérale du tissu osseux à l'aide d'un appareil Soxhlet et d'éthylène diamine anhydre (ED), est décrite. L'éthylène diamine solubilise la portion organique (graisse et protéine) du tissu avec peu ou pas de modifications chimiques ou physiques de la phase minérale. Après traitement à l'éthylène diamine, la pièce est lavée à l'eau froide pour éliminer le solvant. La diffraction aux rayons X, la densité, les analyses chimiques et des études d'échange ont été utilisées pour étudier les modifications de la phase minérale pendant les procédés d'extraction et de lavage.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Eine detaillierte, wirksame Methode wird dargelegt, mit welcher aus Knochengewebe die Mineralsubstanz mit Hilfe eines Soxhlet-Apparates mittels wasserfreiem Äthylendiamin extrahiert werden kann. Das Äthylendiamin löst den organischen Anteil — Fett und Protein — des Gewebes mit geringer oder überhaupt keiner chemischen oder physikalischen Veränderung der Mineral phase. Nach der Behandlung mit Äthylendiamin wird die Probe mit kaltem Wasser gewaschen, um das Lösungsmittel zu entfernen. Röntgen-Diffraktion, Dichte, chemische Analyse und Austausch-Studien wurden verwendet, um Veränderungen in der Mineralsubstanz während der Extraktions- und Waschvorgänge zu überwachen.
    Notes: Abstract A detailed, efficient method of extracting mineral matter from bone tissue using a Soxhlet apparatus and anhydrous ethylenediamine is presented. The ethylenediamine solubilizes the organic portion, fat and protein, of the tissue with minor, if any, chemical or physical alteration of the mineral phase. After ethylenediamine treatment the sample is washed with cold water to eliminate the solvent. X-ray diffraction, density and chemical analyses and exchange studies have been used to monitor changes within the mineral matter during the extraction and washing procedures.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Du sérum de cheval, dépourvu d'inhibiteurs de la trypsine, en le faisant passer sur une colonne de trypsine insolubilisée (de la trypsine liée de façon covalente au Sepharose 4B), n'inhibe plus l'activité de la collagénase de l'os de souris. Des diverses fractions du sérum testées, seules deux d'entre elles (une beta-lipoprotéine, riche en alpha-2-macroglobuline, et une alpha-globuline) inhibitent de façon significative l'activité de la collagénase de l'os de souris. Seule la fraction alpha-2-macroblobuline du sérum de cheval, chromatographiée sur du Biogel P-150, inhibe à la fois l'activité en collagénase d'os de souris et l'activité de la trypsine. La fraction alpha-1-antitrypsine n'inhibe pas l'activité en collagénase d'os de souris, mais inhibe celle de la trypsine. La chromatographie de sérum de cheval sur Sepharose 4B, avec la trypsine qui lui est lié de façon covalente, permet de mettre en évidence une activité d'inhibition envers la trypsine et la collagénase d'os de souris dans la fraction contenant l'alpha-2-macroglobuline. Les résultats semblent indiquer que le constituant du sérum, qui inhibe l'activité de la collagénase d'os de souris, pourrait être identique avec l'inhibiteur de trypsine de la fraction alpha-2-macroglobuline. Les collagénases du sérum et de l'os de souris, chromatographiées sur la colonne de Biogel, ne se combinent pas et la collagénase apparait à son propre volume d'élution, sans perte d'activité enzymatique. Ce fait semble indiquer qu'un complexe d'inhibiteur enzymatique (s'il existe) est facilement dissociable. Des résultats similaires ont été obtenus avec du sérum de souris.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Pferdeserum wurde von Trypsinhemmern befreit, indem es über eine Säule aus unlöslich gemachten Trypsin (d. h. Trypsin kovalent an Sepharose 4B gebunden) gegeben wurde. Dadurch verlor es seine Hemmwirkung auf die Aktivität der Mäuseknochenkollagenase. Von den verschiedenen getesteten Serum-Fraktionen hemmten nur zwei (beta-Lipoprotein, welches reich an alpha-2-Makroglobulin ist, und alpha-Globulin) die Aktivität von Mäuseknochenkollagenase signifikant. Nur die alpha-2-Makroglobulinfraktion von Pferdeserum, welche auf Biogel P-150 chromatographiert wurde, hemmte die Aktivität von Mäuseknochenkollagenase und von Trypsin. Die alpha-1-Antitrypsinfraktion hemmte die Mäuseknochenkollagenase-Aktivität nicht, dagegen die Trypsin-Aktivität. Die Affinitätschromatographie von Pferdeserum auf Sepharose 4B, an welche Trypsin kovalent gebunden worden war, zeigte eine Hemmwirkung gegen Trypsin und gegen Mäuseknochenkollagenase in der alpha-2-Makroglobulin enthaltenden Fraktion. Die Resultate lassen vermuten, daß die Komponente im Serum, welche die Mäuseknochenkollagenase-Aktivität hemmt, identisch mit dem Trypsinhemmer in der alpha-2-Makroglobulinfraktion ist. Serum und Mäuseknochenkollagenase, welche auf der Biogelsäule chromatographiert wurden, verbanden sich nicht, und die Kollagenase erschien in ihrem eigenen Elutionsvolumen und ohne Verlust von Enzymaktivität. Dies läßt vermuten, daß ein Enzymhemmkomplex (falls er existiert) leicht dissoziierbar ist. Ähnliche Resultate wurden mit Mäuseserum erhalten.
    Notes: Abstract Horse serum prepared free of trypsin inhibitors by passing it through a column of insolubilized trypsin (trypsin covalently bound to Sepharose 4B) no longer inhibits mouse bone collagenase activity. Of the various serum fractions tested, only two (beta-lipoprotein, which is a rich source of alpha-2-macroglobulin, and alpha-globulin) significantly inhibited mouse bone collagenase activity. Only the alpha-2-macroglobulin fraction of horse serum chromatographed on Bio-gel P-150 inhibited both mouse bone collagenase activity and trypsin activity. The alpha-1-antitrypsin fraction did not inhibit mouse bone collagenase activity, but did inhibit trypsin activity. Affinity chromatography of horse serum on Sepharose 4B to which trypsin had been covalently bound revealed inhibitory activity towards both trypsin and mouse bone collagenase in the fraction containing alpha-2-macroglobulin. The results suggest that the component in serum which inhibits mouse bone collagenase activity may be identical with the trypsin inhibitor present in the alpha-2-macroglobulin fraction. Serum and mouse bone collagenase chromatographed on the Bio-gel column did not bind together and the collagenase emerged at its own elution volume without loss of enzymatic activity. This suggests that an enzyme inhibitor complex (if it exists) is easily dissociable. Similar results to those above were obtained using mouse serum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Trois phosphatases alcalines (I, II et III), partiellement purifiées, d'os pariétal humain fœtal, sont également actives dans des conditions identiques. La constante de subtratK s, pour l'hydrolyse d'un substrat donné (β-glyceryl phosphate, DL-α-glycery. phosphate, glucose-1-phosphate, etp-nitrophenyl phosphate) est approximativement la même pour chaque enzyme, étudiée. Les valeurs deK s pour les trois premiers substrats, mentionnés ci-dessus, sont respectivement de 0.08, 0.23 et 0.19 mM pour chaque enzyme. Pourp-nitrophenyl phosphate, les valeurs sont 0.029, 0.033 et 0.046 mM pour I, II, III respectivement. L'effet de plusieurs cations métalliques divalents, de l'EDTA, du fluorure de phenylmethanesulphonyle, dep-chloromercuribenzoate, de N-ethylmaleimide et d'autres réactifs est identique pour chaque enzyme. Mg2+ produisent l'hydrolyse le plus accentuée dup-nitrophenyl phosphate. Le fluorure de phenylmethane sulphonyle inhibe, de façon non compétitive, toutes les enzymes (K i=0.07 mM pour I et II, et 0.05 mM pour III). L'EDTA inhibe chaque enzyme, maisp-chloromercuribenzoate et N-ethylmaleimide n'ont aucun effet. L-cystine M inhibe, de façon non compétitive, les trois phosphatases avecK i près de 0.02 mM pour I, II et III. L'effet, de composés d'ammonium quaternaires est différent pour chaque enzyme: α-Lècithine active le plus et la phosphocholine inhibe le plus.

Les trois enzymes sont considérées comme des phosphatases différentes.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Drei aus foetalen menschlichen Parietalknochen teilweise gereinigte alkalische Phosphatasen (I, II und III) waren gleicherweise, aktiv unter identischen Bedingungen. Die Substratkonstante,K s, für die Hydrolyse eines gegebenen Substrates (β-glycerylphosphat, DL-α-glycerylphosphat, Glucose-1-Phosphat undp-Nitrophenylphosphat) war annähernd dieselbe für jedes der untersuchten Enzyme. DieK s-Werte für die ersten drei der obgenannten Substrate betrugen jeweils 0,08; 0,23 und 0,19 mM für alle Enzyme. Fürp-nitrophenylphosphat lagen die Werte jeweils bei 0,029; 0,033 und 0,046 mM. Die Wirkung von verschiedenen zweiwertigen Metallkationen (EDTA, Phenylmethansulfonylfluorid,p-Chloromercuribenzoat, N-Aethylmaleinimid und andere Reagenzien) war dieselbe für alle Enzyme. Mg2+-und Ca2+-Ionen bewirkten die größte Hydrolysegeschwindigkeit vonp-Nitrophenylphosphat. Phenylmethansulfonylfluorid hemmte alle Enzyme nicht kompetitiv (K i=0,07 mM für I und II, und 0,05 mM für III). Alle Enzyme wurden durch EDTA gehemmt;p-Chloromercuribenzoat und N-Aethylmaleinimid hatten jedoch keine Wirkung. L-Cystin M hemmte alle drei Phosphatasen nicht kompetitiv mit einemK i von annähernd 0,02 mM für I, II und III. Die Wirkung quaternärer Ammoniumverbindungen war für jedes Enzym verschieden, wobei α-Lecithin die stärkste Aktivierung, Phosphocholin in allen Fällen eine Hemmung hervorrief. Die Unterschiede erschienen als physikalische Eigenschaften, während die Ähnlichkeiten als substratbindende und katalytische Eigenschaften angesehen wurden. Die 3 Enzyme wurden als verschiedene Phosphatasen betrachtet.
    Notes: Abstract Three alkaline phosphatases (I, II, and III), partially purified from human foetal parietal bones, were similarly active in identical conditions. The substrate constant,K s, for the hydrolysis of a given substrate (β-glyceryl phosphate, DL-α-glyceryl phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate. and p-nitrophenyl phosphate) was approximately the same for each of the enzymes studied, The values ofK s for the first three substrates above were 0.08, 0.23, and 0.19 mM, respectively for all enzymes. For p-nitrophenyl phosphate the values were 0.029, 0.033, and 0.046 mM, for I, II, and III, respectively. The effect of several divalent metal cations, EDTA, phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride,p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide, and other reagents was the same for all enzymes. Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions produced the highest rate of hydrolysis ofp-nitrophenyl phosphate. Phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride inhibited non-competitively all enzymes (K i=0.07 mM for I and II, and 0.05 mM for III). EDTA inhibited all enzymes, butp-chloromercuribenzote and N-ethylmaleimide caused no effect. L-Cystine inhibited noncompetitively all three phosphatases withK i close to 0.02 mM for I, II, and III. The effect of quaternary ammonium compounds differed for each enzyme, α-lecithin producing the strongest activation and phosphocholine inhibition in all cases. The differences were considered as physical properties, whereas the similarities were considered as substrate-binding and catalytic properties. The three enzymes were regarded as different phosphatases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le contenu moyen en calcium d'une population mixte de cellules osseuses viables, fraichement séparées de la matrice osseuse calcifiée, est de 194,5±7,3 mmoles/kg de poids sec chez le porc et 176,6±8,7 mmoles/kg chez le rat. Le calcium semble intracellulaire. La majorité (90% ou plus) sédimente avec des particules intracellulaires au cours de la centrifugation et le reste se situe dans le liquide cellulaire. Des études cinétiques à l'aide de45Ca indiquent un passage rapide du calcium, en rapport avec la température, à la fois dans les réserves solubles et les particules de calcium d'homogénats de cellules osseuses. Ils indiquent aussi un échange direct entre la phase liquide et les particules, d'une part, et le milieu extracellulaire, d'autre part. Ces échanges se font à une vitesse différente et, probablement, selon des mécanismes différents, la portion comportant les particules étant la plus rapide. Les résultats indiquent que ces dernières pourraient correspondre aux petites granules denses identifiées récemment en microscopie électronique et l'acquisition, le stockage et la libération de calcium de ces compartiments pourraient être importants pour le métabolisme squelettique du calcium.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der mittlere Calciumgehalt einer gemischten Population von lebensfähigen, frisch aus der verkalkten Matrix gewonnenen Knochenzellen betrug beim schwein 194,5±7,3 mmol/kg Naßgewicht und bei der Ratte 176,6±8,7 mmol/kg. Das Calcium scheint intracellulär zu liegen, wobei der größte Teil (90% oder mehr) in einem Zentrifugalfeld leicht mit intracellulären Partikeln sedimentiert, während die Zellflüssigkeit im Gleichgewicht bleibt. Kinetische Studien mittels45Ca zeigen einen raschen, temperaturabhängigen Umbau von Calcium sowohl im löslichen als auch im unlöslichen Calcium-Pool von Knochenzellhomogenaten, ferner einen direkten Austausch zwischen jedem Pool und dem extracellulären Medium, wobei jeder mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeiten und wahrscheinlich durch verschiedene Mechanismen abläuft, wobei der unlösliche Pool der raschere ist. Diese Resultate lassen vermuten, daß der unlösliche Pool den kleinen dichten Granula entsprechen könnte, welche kürzlich durch Elektronnmikroskopie in Knochenzellen identifiziert wurden, und daß die Aufnahme, Lagerung und Abgabe des Calciums aus diesen Speichern für den Skelet-Calcium-Metabolismus wichtig sein könnte.
    Notes: Abstract The mean calcium content of a mixed population of viable bone cells freshly separated from the calcified bone matrix has been found to be 194.5±7.3 mmoles/kg wet weight in pigs and 176.6±8.7mmoles/kg in rats. The calcium appears to be intracellular, the major portion (90% or more) sedimenting readily with intracellular particles in a centrifugal field and the balance being largely in the cell sap. Kinetic studies using45Ca indicate rapid temperature-dependent turnover of the calcium in both soluble and particulate calcium pools of bone cell homogenates and a direct exchange between each pool and the extracellular medium, each occurring at a different rate and possibly by different mechanisms, the particulate pool being the more rapid. These data suggest that the particulate pool may correspond to the small dense granules recently identified in bone cells by electron microscopy and that the uptake, storage and release of calcium from these stores may be important in skeletal calcium metabolism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Chez des chiens adultes, des deux sexes, l'injection d'hormone de croissance induit une augmentation marquée d'os nouvellment formé. L'effet sur la résorption n'a pu être définie quantitativement, mais la résorption au niveaude de l'endoste est augmentée. Il en est de même de la résorption intracorticale, mais la porosité intracorticale n'augmente que légèrement. En plus de la décroissance de la résorption de l'endoste, on observe du même côté une nette augmentation de la formation osseuse. Cette apposition osseuse ajoutée à la formation d'os périosté donne uneaugmentation de la masse squelettique. L'os formé est histologiquement et microradiographiquement normal. Malgré une nette augmentation de la formation osseuse, les valeurs de la phosphatase alcaline restent inchangées.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Exogenes Wachstumshormon rief bei intakten ausgewachsenen Hunden beiden Geschlechts eine starke Zunahme der Knochenbildung hervor. Die resultierende Wirkung auf die Resorption konnte quantitativ nicht festgestellt werden, jedoch war die endostale Resorption vermindert. Die intracorticale Resorption war erhöht, aber die intracorticale Porosität stieg nur wenig an. Neben der Verminderung der endostalen Resorption war reichliche endostale Knochenneubildung festzustellen. Dieser Anstieg der endostalen Knochenneubildung plus die starke Anregung der periostalen Knochenneubildung führten zu einertatsächlichen Zunahme der Skelettmasse. Der gebildete Knochen war histologisch und mikroradiographisch normal. Trotz der starken Zunahme der Knochenneubildung blieben die Werte der alkalischen Phosphatase unverändert.
    Notes: Abstract In intact adult dogs of both sexes exogenous growth hormone induced a marked increase in new bone formation. The net effect on resorption could not be defined quantitatively but endosteal resorption was decreased. Intracortical resorption was increased but intracortical porosity rose only slightly. In addition to the decrease in endosteal resorption, there was abundant endosteal new bone formation. This rise in endosteal new bone formation plus the marked stimulus to periosteal new bone formation led to anet increase in skeletal mass. The bone formed was normal histologically and microradiographically. Despite a marked rise in new bone formation, alkaline phosphatase values remained unchanged.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé 1. Des chiens sont traités pendant trois mois avec de l'hormone de croissance dans des conditions définies; l'efficacité de l'absorption du calcium alimentaire est mesurée par administration de47Ca et45Ca. L'ampleur du réservoir de calcium. l'ensemble des échanges, l'apposition du minéral osseux et l'excrétion fécale calcique endogène sont mesurés à l'aide du45Ca I.V. Des examens identiques sont réalisés pour chaque animal après une période de mise en équilibre de cinq mosi, ainsi qu'après une période de trois mois d'administration d'hormone de croissance. 2. L'efficacité de l'absorption du calcium alimentaire augmente, alors que l'excrétion fécale du calcium endogène diminue après administration d'hormone de croissance. Le calcium urinaire décroit légèrement. Bien que des bilans précis n'aient pas été effectués, ces changements indiquent que la balance du calcium, sous l'effet du traitement, devient positive. 3. L'hormone de croissance n'as pas d'effet sur le réservoir de calcium échangeable, mais elle augmente l'incorporation minérale dans l'os de 21–41%. Le retour du calcium osseux est réduit, en rapport avec l'équilibre positif, mais dans des proportions non mesurables. 4. Des mesures parallèles, cinétiques et morphométriques des échanges squelettiques, réalisées sur des coupes adjacentes d'os longs, révèlent une corrélation positive nette entre les résultats obtenus selon les deux méthodes, avec des estimations cinétiques, tendant à être légèrement supérieures aux résultats morphométriques, principalement en cas de remaniements osseux modérés.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung 1. Hunde wurden unter kontrollierten Bedingungen während drei Monaten mit Wachstumshormon behandelt. Die Aufnahmefähigkeit von Calcium aus der Nahrung wurde mittels Verabreichung von47Ca und45Ca gemessen. Die Calciumpool-Größe, der Pool-Umsatz, die Zunahme an knochenmineral und die endogene fäkale Calciumausscheidung wurden mit intravenösem45Ca-Tracer gemessen. Am Ende einer fünfmonatigen Equilibrierungsperiode und am Ende der dreimonatigen Periode der Wachstumshormon-Verabreichung wurden in jedem Tier dieselben Untersuchungen ausgeführt. 2. Die Aufnahmefähigkeit von Calcium aus der Nahrung stieg nach der Wachstumshormonverabreichung an, die endogene fäkale Calciumausscheidung sank. Das Urincalcium verminderte sich leicht. Obwohl keine direkten Bilanzen bestimmt wurden, deuten diese Veränderungen auf eine positive Calciumbilanz-Verschiebung im Zusammenhang mit der Behandlung hin. 3. Das Wachstumshormon hatte keine Wirkung auf die Größe des austauschbaren Calciumpools, erhöhte jedoch die Mineraleinlagerung in den Knochen um 21–41%. Die Calciumresorption aus dem Knochen war erniedrigt, was mit der positiven Bilanzverschiebung vereinbar ist. Die Verminderung läßt sich jedoch nicht messen. 4. Parallele kinetische und morphometrische Messungen des Skeletumsatzes, welche an angrenzenden Röhrenknochenschnitten gemacht wurden, deuteten auf eine bestehende positive Korrelation zwischen Bewertungen, welche aus beiden Methoden abgeleitet wurden. Die kinetischen Bewertungen waren eher etwas höher als die morphometrischen, besonders in Fällen von niedriger Skeletneubildung.
    Notes: Abstract 1. Dogs were treated with growth hormone for three months under controlled conditions, dietary calcium absorption efficiency was measured by administration of47Ca and45Ca, and calcium pool size, pool turnover, bone mineral accretion, and endogenous fecal calcium excretion were measured using the I.V.45Ca tracer. Identical studies were performed in each animal, at the end of a five-month equilibration period, and at the end of the three-month period of growth hormone administration. 2. Dietary calcium absorption efficiency increased and endogenous fecal calcium excretion decreased as a result of growth hormone administration. Urine calcium fell slightly. Although direct balances were not determined, these changes indicate a positive calcium balance shift in association with treatment. 3. Growth hormone had no effect on the size of the miscible calcium pool, but increased mineral incorporation into bone by 21–41%. Return of calcium from bone was reduced, consistent with the positive balance shift, but to an unmeasured extent. 4. Parallel kinetic and morphometric measurement of skeletal turnover performed on adjacent long bone sections indicated a consistent positive correlation between estimates derived by the two methods, with kinetic estimates tending to be slightly higher than the morphometric, particularly at low levels of skeletal remodeling.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La maturation chimique et physique du sel osseux est étudiée par l'obervation des caractéristiques stoichiométriques et aux infra-rouges d'os embryonnaire d'oiseaux, du début jusqu'à la fin de la croissance adulte après éclosion. La succession des transformations chimiques de l'os en voie de développement montre surtout un rapport inverse entre le phosphate acide et le carbonate, ainsi que la formation de CO3-apatite. Ces résultats semblent indiquer que le CO 3 2− est substitué au HPO 4 2− au cours de la synthèse du CO3-apatite de l'os.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die chemischen und physikalischen Umwandlungen zum stabilen Knochensalz in Hühnerknochen wurden anhand serienmäßiger Beobachtungen seiner stöchiometrischen Zusammensetzung und seiner infraroten Charakteristika untersucht; diese Beobachtungen erstreckten sich über die Zeit der frühen embryonalen Mineralablagerung bis zur vollständigen Reife nach dem Ausbrüten. Die Sequenz der chemischen Umwandlungen im sich entwickelnden Knochen zeigte hauptsächlich ein entgegengesetztes Verhältnis zwischen saurem Phosphat und Carbonat, das mit der Bildung von Carbonatapatit zusammenfällt. Diese Resultate weisen darauf hin, daß HPO 4 2− bei der Synthese von Carbonatapatit im Knochen durch CO 3 2− substituiert wird.
    Notes: Abstract The chemical and physical maturation of the bone salt was studied by serial observations on its stoichiometric and infrared characteristics in avian bone from early embryonic mineral deposition to full maturity after hatching. The sequence of chemical transformations in the developing bone showed most predominantly an inverse relationship between acid phosphate and carbonate, coincident with the formation of CO3-apatite. The data are consistent with the view that CO 3 2− is substituted for HPO 4 2− in the synthesis of CO3-apatite in bone.

Des lipopolysaccharides hautement purifiés stimulent la résorption de l'os en culture de tissus, par examen morphologique et par libération de45Ca d'os prémarqués. De plus, on note une augmentation en a) lactate libéré dans le milieu de culture, b) nombre total de cellules des os c) nombre d'ostéoclastes et d) diminution de la matrice osseuse. 2.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung 1. In der Gewebekultur stimulieren hochgereinigte Lipopolysaccharide die Knochenresorption, welche morphologisch oder anhand des freigesetzten45Ca aus vormarkierten Knochen bestimmt wird. Folgende Zunahmen sind mit diesem Effekt verbunden: a) Freisetzung von Laktat ins Kulturmedium; b) die Gesamtzahl der Zellen in den Knochen; c) das Vorkommen von Osteoklasten und d) eine Abnahme der Menge von Knochenmatrix. 2. Lipopolysaccharide, die entweder durch Phenol- oder Ätherextraktion gewonnen wurden, stimulieren die Knochenresorption. 3. Werden den Lipopolysacchariden die meisten Lipide entzogen, so verlieren sie ihre Eigenschaft, die Knochenresorption anzuregen. 4. Die Fähigkeit der Lipopolysaccharide, die Knochenresorption zu stimulieren und die pyrogenen Eigenschaften oder die Möglichkeit, Antikörper zu neutralisieren, gehen nicht parallel. 5. Wird eine submaximale Dosis von Parathormon verwendet, so addiert sich dessen Effekt auf die Knochenresorption zu jenem der Lipopolysaccharide. 6. Heparin, welches an sich keine Wirkung auf die Knochenresorption hat, potenziert den Lipopolysaccharideffekt. 7. Thyrocalcitonin hemmt in ähnlichem Maße die durch Lipopolysaccharide und Parathormonstimulierte Knochenresorption.
    Notes: Abstract 1. Highly purified lipopolysaccharides stimulate the resorption of bone in tissue culture as assayed morphologically and by the release of45Ca from prelabelled bones. Associated with this effect are increases in: a) lactate released into the cultured medium, b) the total number of cells in the bones, c) the occurrence of osteoclasts and, d) a decrease in the amount of bone matrix. 2. Lipopolysaccharides prepared either by phenol extraction or by ether extraction stimulate bone resorption. 3. Lipopolysaccharide with most of the lipid removed loses its ability to stimulate bone resorption. 4. There is no relationship between the ability of lipopolysaccharides to stimulate the resorption of bone and pyrogenicity or their ability to neutralize antibody. 5. When using a submaximal dose of parathyroid hormone, its effect on bone resorption is additive to that of lipopolysaccharides. 6. Heparin which by itself has no effect on bone resorption potentiates the effect of lipopolysaccharide. 7. Thyrocalcitonin inhibits to a similar degree the resorption stimulated by lipopolysaccharide and parathyroid hormone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une étude longitudinale, par séries, est effectuée pour déterminer les activités en phosphatases acide et alcaline dans les os longs et la mandibule. Le pH optimum des deux enzymes se situe respectivement à 10.2 et 5.4 pour les phosphatases alcaline et acide. Des portées synchronisées de rats sont sacrifiées, à raison d'une portée par jour, en commençant au premier jour jusqu'au 25ème jour post-partum. Les spécimens sont analysés en ce qui concerne leur concentration en protéine et leur activité en phosphatases. Une activité de types élevée et faible est observée au niveau du tissu osseux, ainsi qu'un type d'activité faible en phosphatase alcaline, au cours des pics d'activité en phosphatase acide, et vice-versa. Les pics observés suggèrent une concordance entre l'activité en phosphatase et les autres changements biochimiques de la croissance osseuse, au niveau de la matrice organique et la formation minérale. Une étude séparée, tenant compte de la possibilité d'une activité enzymatique rythmique, suggère l'existence d'un rythme diurne court chez les animaux jeunes.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Eine serienmäßige Longitudinaluntersuchung wurde unternommen, um die Aktivitäten der alkalischen und sauren Phosphatase in den Röhrenknochen und den Mandibulae von Ratten zu bestimmen. Das pH-Optimum der beiden Enzyme wurde für die alkalische Phosphatase bei 10,2 und für die saure Phosphatase bei 5,4 ermittelt. Synchronisierte und randomisierte Würfe wurden getötet, 1 Wurf pro Tag vom 1.–25. Tag post partum. Die Proben wurden auf ihren Proteingehalt und ihre Phosphatasenaktivität untersucht. Ein Muster niedriger und hoher Aktivität konnte in beiden Knochengeweben beobachtet werden, sowie ein Muster von niedriger Aktivität der alkalischen Phosphatase bei Spitzenwerten der sauren Phosphatase und umgekehrt. Die beobachteten Spitzenwerte lassen einen Zusammenhang vermuten zwischen der Phosphatasenaktivität und den anderen biochemischen Veränderungen, die im wachsenden Knochen auftreten, d. h. Bildung der organischen Matrix und des Minerals. Eine getrennte Untersuchung, welche sich mit der Möglichkeit rhythmischer Merkmale der Enzymaktivität befaßte, läßt vermuten, daß in den ersten Tagen ein schwacher Tagersrhythmus bestehen könnte.
    Notes: Abstract A serial longitudinal study was undertaken to determine the activities of the alkaline and acid phosphatases in the long bones and mandibles. The optimum pH of the two enzymes was recorded at 10.2 and 5.4 for alkaline and acid phosphatase, respectively. Synchronized and randomized litters of rats were killed, 1 litter daily, starting at day 1 to day 25 post partum. Samples were analyzed for protein concentration and activity of the phosphatases. A pattern of low and high activity was observed in both bony tissues, as well as a pattern of low alkaline phosphatase activity during acid phosphatase activity peaks, and vice versa. The observed peaks suggest a correspondence between phosphatase activity and the other biochemical changes occurring in the growing bone, i.e., organic matrix and mineral formation. A separate study, considering the possibility of rhythmic features of the enzyme activity suggests that there may be a small diurnal rhythm at an early age.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'effet d'une alimentation, riche en calcium, par rapport à un régime sans calcium, est déterminé au niveau de la diaphyse tibiale chez le rat. Le régime sans calcium provoque une augmentation de la région médullaire et l'administration consécutive d'un régime riche en calcium provoque une diminution de cette région. Cependant, la proportion d'endoste perdue en 10 jours de régime sans calcium n'est pas reconstituée après 78 jours de régime riche en calcium. La diminution de zone médullaire est en rapport avec la diminution de résorption de l'endoste et surtout avec une apposition augmentée de l'endoste. La formation osseuse périostée et épiphysaire est inchangée: ce qui indique que le régime, riche en calcium, ne provoque pas une augmentation généralisée de l'ostéogenèse. L'augmentation de la formation d'endoste est limitée aux régions d'endoste les plus résorbées, au cours de la période de manque en calcium. Ce fait indique qu'un facteur local est partiellement responsable de la stimulation de l'apposition osseuse de l'endoste pendant cette période. Un stress mécanique, qui stimule la formation osseuse, est augmenté chez les animaux privés de calcium et revient à la normale après administration de calcium. De plus, le stress mécanique est probablement le plus important dans les régions d'apposition osseuse et pourrait constituer le facteur local, responsable de l'augmentation de l'endoste, pendant l'administration de calcium.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Bei Ratten, die nach einer Calcium-freien eine Calcium-reiche Diät erhielten, wurden die hieraus resultierenden Veränderungen der Tibia-Diaphyse bestimmt. Das Calcium-freie Futter verursachte eine Zunahme des Markraumes und die anschließende Verfütterung einer Calcium-reichen Diät hatte eine Reduktion des Markraumes zur Folge. Die Menge des endostalen Knochens, die während der 10 tägigen Verfütterung der Calcium-freien Diät verloren ging, war jedoch nach 78 Tagen Calcium-reicher Diät nicht voll ersetzt. Die Abnahme des Markraumes wurde durch eine geringere endostale Knochenresorption und besonders durch eine erhöhte endostale Knochenbildung hervorgerufen. Die Knochenbildung am Periost und an den Epiphysen war unverändert, ein Zeichen dafür, daß die Calcium-reiche Diät keine generalisierte Zunahme der Knochenbildung zur Folge hatte. Die Zunahme der endostalen Knochenbildung beschränkte sich auf jene Bereiche entlang dem Endost, wo während der Calcium-Mangelperiode am meisten Knochensubstanz verloren gegangen war. Dies weist darauf hin, daß ein lokaler Faktor mindestens teilweise verantwortlich ist für die Stimulierung von endostaler Knochenbildung während der Calcium-Sättigungsperiode. Die mechanische Belastung, welche die Knochenbildung anregt, war bei Calcium-armen Tieren erhöht und kehrte während der Calcium-Sättigung wieder zur Norm zurück. Zusätzlich war die mechanische Belastung wohl dort am größten, wo die stärkste Knochenbildung stattfand, und diese Belastung könnte somit als der lokale Faktor angesprochen werden, welcher während der Calcium-Sättigungsperiode zur gesteigerten endostalen Knochenbildung beitrug.
    Notes: Abstract The changes in the tibial diaphysis as a result of feeding a high calcium diet to rats previously fed a calcium free diet were determined. The calcium free diet resulted in an increase in the medullary area, and the subsequent feeding of a high calcium diet caused a reduction in medullary area. However, the amount of endosteal bone lost during ten days of feeding a calcium free diet was not completely restored after 78 days of feeding a high calcium diet. The decrease in medullary area was brought about by decreased endosteal bone resorption and particularly by increased endosteal bone formation. Bone formation at the periosteum and at the epiphyses were unchanged, indicating that the high calcium diet did not cause a generalized increase in bone formation. The increase in endosteal bone formation was limited to those sites along endosteum where greatest loss of bone had occurred during the calcium depletion period. This indicates that a local factor is at least partially responsible for the stimulation of endosteal bone formation during calcium repletion. Mechanical stress, which stimulates bone formation, was increased in calcium deficient animals and returned to normal during calcium repletion. In addition, mechanical stress was probably greatest in those sites where the greatest amount of bone repletion occurred and may have been the factor which contributed to the increase in endosteal bone formation during calcium repletion.

    Notes: Summary Young chicks were treated with 25 U.S.P. units of Parathormone (PTH, Eli Lilly and Co.) each day for three days. Osteocytes in the tibial mid-diaphyses were studied. As early as two hours after the treatment, there was an evident increase in the amount of affected matrix. However, it was only partially broken down (modified). Based on the relative number of osteocytes in the formative, resorptive, and degenerative phase and of dead osteocytes (empty lacunae), the effects of PTH on the osteocyte population have been quantitatively evaluated. At two hours after the treatment, there was a decrease in the number of formative osteocytes and an increase in the number of resorptive osteocytes. The number of formative cells continued to decrease. The resorptive osteocytes were maximal (76±4.5% of the population) at one day after the treatment. Later this number decreased with a somewhat corresponding increase in the degenerative osteocytes. It seems that PTH treatment promotes the maturation of osteocytes and decreases the formative but enhances the resorptive phase of the osteocytes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Die Bestimmung der Bruchfestigkeit des menschlichen Femur ergibt, daß diese in verschiedenen Regionen dieses Knochens eine verschiedene Größe hat. Eine Verminderung der Bruchspannung zeigt besonders der spongiöse Leichtbau im Caput-Collum-Bereich sowie der kortikale Hartbau im dorsalen Abschnitt der Diaphyse. 2. Die Verminderung der Bruchspannung beruht auf einer Zunahme der Porosität des Knochens in diesen Bezirken (Abnahme des Raumgewichtes). 3. Die Erhöhung der Porosität ist eine Folge davon, daß der Druckkraft der Körperlast eine Zugkraft von Muskeln entgegenwirkt, d.h. die Beanspruchungsgröße des Knochens (=Deformationswiderstand) in den genannten Regionen vermindert ist.

    Notes: Summary 1. An investigation on the compressive strength of the human femur has shown that this varies considerably in different parts of the bone. Low compressive strengths are determined for the spongy bone in the caput-collum region, and for the cortical hard-bone in the dorsal section of the diaphysis. 2. The decreased compressive strength is due to a higher porosity of the bone in these regions. 3. Increased porosity is the result of the balance of body weight by the tensile strength of the muscles, i.e. the resultant loading (=resistance to deformation) of the bone is reduced in these regions. According to Roux's Maximum—minimum Law, there is only sufficient inorganic bone material present in the cross-section of a bone, necessary to withstand the stress due to maximum loading, plus a certain safety factor. 4. From this point of view, the femoral bone as a whole can be defined as a body of certain overall strength, in spite of having variable compressive strength in definite regions. 5. The Havers canals, which have nearly constant cross-section in middle-age, show an obvious size variation, considerable narrowing as well as widening of the lumina, in elderly people. These variations are controlled partly by osteosclerotic and partly by osteoporotic processes. The osteoporotic lumina-widening is interpreted as a compensation process for the control of ossary blood supply. 6. In addition, in old age there is a reduction in elasticity and then in compressive strength: These two factors are due to a change in bone fabric and chemistry: the occurrence of the above osteosclerotic and osteoporotic processes, as well as reduction of interlamellar elasticity by an enrichment in the crystallite-cover to the collagen-fibres of Ca, Mg and P. These processes explain the increase in the frequency of fractures of the femur in old age. 7. In the head-region of the femur, the Trajectorium rectum mediale (Catel, 1970) shows the characteristic structure of the corticalis, the presence of osteones, in contrast to simple spongy rods. Also, the mineral composition (Ca, P) of the trajectorium is very similar to that of the diaphysal corticalis, whereas the concentration of these two elements in the spongy region is considerably less. These results explain why the compressive strength of the trajectory bundles is about 3.6 times higher than in the region of simple spongy structure. 8. On the basis of titrative, X-ray (micro-probe), and diffraction studies, the mineral present in bone of a 71 year old man is definable as hydroxyl-apatite, with a formula: (Ca, Mg, K)5 [(F, OH)/(PO4)3] 9. The concentration of Mg in the surface layer of bone in a newly-born is somewhat higher than in later life. The concentrations of Ca, Mg and P rise slightly with increasing age. These three elements are not evenly distributed throughout bone, and possible explanations are discussed. 10. In the blood of a healthy baby, in the mineral apatite and in the mineral-matter of the bones, the ratio Ca∶P is constant 2∶1. 11. Epitaxial and enzymatic processes which may play a part in the growth of apatite in bone are discussed, as are deviations. 12. Tensile stress from the adductor muscles is held to be responsible for the formation of the bone-blade described as linea alba.

    Notes: A simplified scheme for treating the spatial configurations of polynucleotide chains is developed using the rotational isomeric state approximation and statistical methods applicable to linear systems of interacting subunits. As a consequence of geometric constraints imposed by the skeletal structure and of the severity of certain steric interactions, it is possible to represent the repeat unit comprising six skeletal bonds by two virtual bonds of fixed length. The configuration of the polynucleotide chain as a whole may be conveniently described by an alternating succession of these two virtual bonds. Moreover, analysis of steric interactions suggests that bond rotations governing the mutual orientation of a given pair of successive virtual bonds should be sensibly independent of the rotations affecting the mutual orientation of other pairs. The statistical mechanical treatment of configuration-dependent properties is much simplified in consequence of this mutual independence. Mean-square dimensions calculated by giving equal weights to all sterically allowed conformations are much smaller than values determined by Felsenfeld and co-workers. The calculated dimensions are markedly increased, however, by placing certain arbitrary restrictions on the rotations about selected pairs of skeletal bonds. It is thus demonstrated that steric interactions alone are insufficient to account for the spatial characteristics of polynucleotide chains. The dimensions are also found to be sensitive to the conformation of the ribose ring of each nucleotide unit, but, insofar as the influences of steric interactions are concerned, the dimensions do not depend on the heterocyclic base attached to the ribose ring.

    Notes: A theory is presented concerning the possible arrangements of protomers in tetrameric molecules. Isoenzymes may exist even in the case of homotetramers if the asymmetry of the identical protomers is detectable. The number of tetrahedral isoenzymes that can be isolated depends on the nature of the intersubunit bonds and on the level of the asymmetry of the protomers. Five isoenzymes can be distinguished only if two different types of protomers form tetrahedral tetramers and the asymmetry of protomers is not detectable with the method used. If the two types of protomers can bind each other by any pairs of binding sets and the asymmetry of both protomer types reaches the level of detection with the method used, we obtain 117 isoenzymes: 15 individual ones, and 51 stereoisomeric pairs.

    Notes: Our previous paper described graphical procedures for evaluating the mode of association in ideal discrete and indefinite cases. This paper concerns the application of such procedures in cases where the non-ideality term BM1 must be considered. Bovine liver L-glutamate dehydrogenase and lysozyme are used as model systems. Several graphical procedures for dealing with cases of 1 - m, 1 - m - n, or indefinite association are developed. The procedure is based on the evaluation of the weight-fraction monomer with-out prior calculation of BM1, using graphical analysis to evaluate the non-ideality term.

    Notes: The preparation of L-lysine peptides (Lysn, n = 2-14) from polyL-lysine is described. Fractionation by ion-exchange column chromatography of poly-L-lysine hydrolysates on a preparative scale resulted in 0.2-1.0 g quantities of individual members of the poly-L-lysine series. The peptides isolated proved to be analytically pure and the optical configuration was fully retained, as demonstrated by complete enzymic digestion. Peptides higher than n = 14 were also prepared. They consisted of oligolysine groups of narrow and accurately determined size distribution. Potentiometric titrations were used both to characterize the products and to demonstrate the characteristic dependence of the dissociation constants on size of the peptide.

    Notes: The rate of double helix formation by single stranded Poly A plus Poly U, Poly I plus Poly C, Poly G plus Poly C, and T2 DNA has been investigated as a function of both the length of the reacting strands and temperature. The length dependence of the rate is found to be independent of temperature. All of the reactions studied show a rate approximately proportional to the square root of the length of the shorter of the complementary strands. At or about 30°C below the melting temperature the ribopolymers react with about the same rate. This rate is four to five times slower than DNA renaturation rates. The effect of temperature on ribopolymer reaction rates is interpreted in terms of a steady-state model for helix propagation.

    Notes: NMR spectra of cyclo(tri-L-prolyl), c-(P)3, show large shifts of the Hα resonance on adding C6D6 to a solution of c-(P)3 in CD2Cl2. CPK models and observed coupling constants indicate a rigid c-(P)3 conformation, independent of solvent composition, suggesting that these shifts result from formation of stereospecific C6D6-c-(P)3 collision complexes in which the c-(P)3 Hα lie near the face of the aromatic ring. The temperature dependence of the Hα shifts and the solvent dependent shifts observed on adding toluene-d8 or nitrobenzene-d5 to the c-(P)3 solution suggest that preferred C6D6-c-(P)3 orientations result from attractive interactions between the electron-rich aromatic ring and the electropositive Hα's and/or δ+ nitrogen atoms in the peptide backbone. Reports of such interactions in increasingly diverse peptide model systems suggest that they may play a role in stabilizing protein structures.

    Notes: Thermal denaturation of native or partially dehistonized nucleohistones shows two melting bands at 66 and 81° in 2.5 × 10-4 M EDTA, pH 8.0. These correspond to the melting of DNA segments bound by the less basic and the more basic half-molecules of histones, respectively. These two melting bands combine into a broad melting band from around 70 to 85° when these nucleohistones are pre-treated with formaldehyde. A formaldehyde reaction which fixes histones on DNA by covalent bonds account for the effect. Formaldehyde fixation also increases the melting temperature of some free DNA segments from around 42 to around 55°. This is interpreted as a result of closed or rigid boundaries between free DNA and formaldehyde-reacted histone-bound DNA segments. MgCl2 dissociates histones from DNA more effectively and leaves longer free DNA segments than does NaCl. Thermal denaturation of a formaldehyde-reacted nucleoprotein thus provides an effective tool for comparing the relative size of free DNA regions on nucleoproteins. The effect of reversible binding of ligands on helix-coil transition of DNA is descussed and found not adequate for thermal denaturation of nucleohistones.

    Notes: The isometric tensile stress generation observed when collagen fibers are immersed in aqueous solutions of lithium bromide ranging in molar concentration up to 7 was studied at 23°C. The reverse process, namely, isometric stress relaxation of the fiber occurring by subsequent immersion in distilled water, was also studied. We find that the data in the region of LiBr concentration up to about 2.5 moles/liter are adequately represented by a superposition integral \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \sigma (t) = \int_{ - \infty }^\infty {K(t - \tau )} \frac{{dc(\tau )}}{{d\tau }}\,d\tau $$\end{document} where σ(t) is the time-dependent stress generated by the collagen fiber held at fixed length, c(t) is the history of LiBr molar concentration, and K(t) is the isometric contractility function, expressed as stress per unit salt concentration. We conclude that, within a limited range of salt concentration, a collagen fiber in a LiBr bath behaves as if it were a linear, time-invariant system defined mechanochemically by a single function K(t) which depends on the structural characteristics of the fiber while being independent of salt concentration. An analysis is presented of isometric mechanochemical data obtained under conditions of equilibrium by other workers who studied the behavior of collagen fibers in aqueous solutions either of urea, LiBr, or KCNS. The analysis shows that these independent (equilibrium) data confirm the linarity of the relation between isometric contractile stress and salt concentration on which our superposition integral representation is based. We also find that the asymptotic (infinite-time) value of the isometric stress is linearly related to the chemical potential of the salt as well, in agreement with the equilibrium thermodynamic treatment of mechanochemical processes by Katchalsky and Oplatka.

    Notes: A general theory of polyelectrolyte solutions is here used to calculate the differences in Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy between the coil and helix forms of DNA at any temperature and salt concentration. The salt has univalent cations and is assumed present in excess over the base concentration. The results are restricted to sufficiently dilute solutions. It is shown that the salt concentrations effect is entirely entropic in origin. When applied to the melting temperature, the calculations yield a relation between the enthalpy difference at the melting temperature and the slope of the plot of melting temperature vs. the logarithm of the salt concentration. In accord with observation, both the Gibbs free energy difference at any fixed temperature and the melting temperature are predicted to be linear functions of the log of the salt concentration.However, the theory is not in quantitative agreement with enthalpy data. Data on various colligative and transport properties of both helix and coil forms are reviewed in the text and in Appendix B, and good agreement is found with theory for both forms. No attempt is made to explain why the theory is quantitative for these properties but not for heat measurements.Finally, in Appendix A, an approximate calculation is made of the free energy contributions due to ionic effects not associated with the salt concentration.

    Notes: High-molecular-weight poly-L-alanine dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol exhibits infrared, ultraviolet, circular dichroism, and optical rotatory dispersion spectra which are unique and unlike any other previously reported polypeptide spectra. Strong evidence that a helical conformation is present is shown by the high degree of hypochromism in the 187mμ absorption peak and by the positions of the amide infrared bands. The CD and ORD spectra are also similar to those of α-helical polypeptides, though important qualitative and qualitative differences are observed. To explain the novel spectra, which are not mixtures of the spectra of previously reported polypeptide conformations, a new α-helix-like conformation is proposed. The postulated conformation (a doubly hydrogen-bonded helix) is a distorted α-helix in which the peptide carbonyl groups point slightly out from the helix axis and are hydrogen bonded simul taneously both to the NH of the fourth peptide residue to the carboxyl terminal side (as in the classical α-helix), as well as to a solvent molecule's hydroxyl hydrogen.

    Notes: Circular dichriosm (CD) spectra have been calculated for serveral dinucleoside phosphates using a variant of the Pariser-Parr-Pople π-electron molecular orbital method. This method does not require the prior knowledge of the experimental absorption spectra of transition moments of the bases forming the dinucleoside phosphates. Calculated spectra were obtained in good agreement with experimental spectra for four dinucleoside phosphates, ApA, UpU, GpA, and UpA, and reasonable agreement was obtained for ApG and ApU. The effect of changing conformation on the CD spectrum was studied for ApA, UpU, UpA, and ApU; the spectra of UpU, UpA, and ApU were sensitive to small change in conformation, whereas ApA was insensitive over the range of conformation studied. Further studies await detailed knowledge of the structure of dinucleoside phosphates in solution.

    Notes: The solvent-and pH-induced conformational changes are examined in order to investigate the influence of benzyl group. Polymer was prepared via N∊-benzyloxycarbonyl, N∊-benzyl-Nα-carboxy-L-lysine anhydride. The resulting poly (N∊-benzyloxycarbonyl, N∊-benzyl-L-lysine) was obtained in high yield and had a high molecular weight. The protected polymer was removed into poly (N∊-benzyl-L-lysine) by treating it with hydrogen bromide. From the results of the ORD and CD, the protected polymer has a righthanded α-helix, showing [m′]233 = -10,300, [θ]220 = -27,600 and [θ]207 = -25,100 in dioxane. The breakdown of the helical conformation is found to occur at 8% dichloroacetic acid in chloroform-dichloroacetic acid mixture. In the pH range 3.35-6.90, poly (N∊-benzyl-L-lysine) is in a random coil structure. In the pH range 7.50-13.0, the polypeptide has a right-handed α-helix structure; [m′]233 = -12,000, [0]220 = -27,200, and [0]207 = -27,000. In comparison with poly-L-lysine, the coil-to-helix transition is observed at lower pH range in 50% n-propanol. Above pH 8 by heating, the α ⇀ β transition of poly (N∊-benzyl-L-lysine) is not observed in an aqueous media.

    Notes: A simple sequential model is developed which is applicable to the kinetics of melting of some types of oligomeric helices and as an idealization to the kinetics of unfolding of some protein molecules. A procedure is presented for calculating the concentrations of all conformational species as functions of time. The time course of experimentally observable quantities which depend on these concentrations may then be computed.One of the most characteristic features of the model is the distinction between a transient and a steady-state phase. During the latter all molecular parameters change at the same rate, which depends strongly on the difficulty of nucleation and the length of the sequence. Simple approximations to the steady-state rate are discussed in terms of the exact solution. Rates of transient processes dependless strongly on the rate of nucleation and the number of steps and are a more direct reflection of the rates of the rates of the elementary process of propagation. The value of experimental observation of transient process is emphasized.

    Notes: Far-infrared spectra were measured for the sequential copolymers of amino acids with alkyl group side chains. The analysis of the spectra showed that (L-Ala-L-Ala-Gly)n, (L-Ala-Gly)n, (L-Ala-Gly-Gly)n, (L-Val-L-Ala-L-Ala)n, and (L-Val-L-Ala)n, have the antiparallel pleated sheet structures and that the backbone conformations of (L-Val-L-Val-L-Ala)n and (L-Val-L-Val-Gly)n are the same as that of poly-L-valine. The far-infrared bands characteristic of the antiparallel pleated sheet structure were assigned on the basis of the result of the normal coordinate analysis of poly-L-alanine with this structure. The intersheet and interchain spacings of the sequential copolymers with the antiparallel pleated sheet structure were determined from the x-ray powder-diffraction patterns of these samples.

    Notes: Circular dichroism spectra of acridine orange bound to E. coli tRNA were studied at varying tRNA phosphate-to-dye (P/D) ratios for both unfractionated and purified materials in the absence of Mg++. From the rather discrete features exhibited in the circular dichroism spectra three types of interactions were observed: (1) A high P/D ratio such as 75.2 or 49.8 indicates the interaction between the nucleotide base and dye molecule. The spectra with a large positive peak at 515 mμ are, however, quite different from that of DNA-AO complex under similar conditions. (2) With an intermediate P/D ratio (26.5 to 9.6) dye molecules bound strongly to the polynucleotide chain. (3) With low P/D ratios (≤7.5) the interaction appears to be due to the stacked dye molecules in the single-stranded part of tRNA. The spectra of the third group have an isobestic point at 477 mμ. Below a P/D ratio of 4 the spectrum shows one positive and two negative bands which may be the characteristics of circular dichroism of stacked dyes in polynucleotide chain.Although no drastic change in the conformation of tRNA itself was detectable in the presence of Mg++ in the ultraviolet region, a dramatic change was observed in the circular dichroism of tRNA-acridine orange complex when Mg++ concentration was increased to 10-3M. It was inferred that certain conformational changes other than simple hydrogen bond formation occured in tRNA molecules at this high Mg++ concentration, so that the amount of bound dye in the stacking condition was increased through the transition.

    Notes: Apparent second-order rate constants for complex formation between poly (I) and poly (C) and copolymers of C containing non-complementary I or U residues have been determined spectrophotometrically. The rate constants decrease as the concentration of either I or U in the C strands increases-the effect seems insensitive to the species of residue involved, when differences in the thermal stabilities of the poly (I) poly (C,I) and poly (I). poly (C,U) complexes are taken into account. These results suggest that low concentrations of relatively stable defects can alter the apparent kinetic “complexity” of polynucleotides as determined by hybridization methods (C0t analysis).

    Notes: DNA which has been heat denatured in the presence of Cu++ ions can be completely and rapidly renatured by increasing the ionic strength of the solution above a critical value. A kinetic study of this renaturation recation was carried out by following the associated UV absorbance change and also by following the change in free Cu++ ion concentration by means of a specific Cu++ ion activity electrode. The data obtained could be fitted to first-order kinetics for a considerable extent of the reaction and the rate constant was found to increase with temperature and ionic strength, but to decrease markedly as the bulk viscosity of the solution was increased. At temperatures greater than 5°C the reaction rate depended on the time elapsing between denaturation and the commencement of the renaturation reaction. As there was good agreement between the rate constants obtained by following the decrease in hyperchromism and by following the increase in free Cu++ ion concentration, it is concluded that under the conditions employed, the rate of renaturation is determined by the rate of release of Cu++ ions from the denatured DNA-Cu++ complex.

    Notes: Conformational aspects of a series of copolymers of L-Leucine and L-leucine [poly-(LysxLeuy)] containing 0 to 0.41 mole fraction L-leucine have been studied by circular dichroism (CD) and potentiometric titration in 0.05M KF solution. CD studies on the α-helical conformation showed a dependence of the magnitude of the CD ellipticity band at 222 nm on copolymer composition; the [θ]222 decreasing with higher leucine contents. This was interpreted as the result of an increase of the hydrophobicity of the environment of the amide group due to the presence of the leucyl residues. Values of the Zimm-Rice parameter, σ, for the copolymers were obtained from the potentiometric titrations and used to fit theoretical curves to the experimental data. Using the variation of σ with polymer composition, a value of σ for the leucyl residue was estimated to be 6.3 × 10-2, assuming independence of σ on the amino acid sequence in the copolymer. The free energy change for the conversion of one mole residue from uncharged helix to uncharged coil, ΔGhc°, was also obtained from the titration data for each copolymer up to a leucine mole fraction of 0.16; a value of 385 cal mole-1 was estimated for ΔGhc° for a leucyl residue. These values for σ and ΔGhc° are compared with other values in the literature for various amino acid residues obtained from titration and melting curve data.

    Notes: Optical rotatory dispersion measurements were used to follow the transition from the helical to the random coil conformation of poly-β-benzyl-L-aspartate as induced by changes in temperature and solvent composition in mixtures of dioxane and dimethylsulfoxide. Within experimental error, there is no difference in the stability of the helical state as measured in this way for the protonated and deuterated forms of the polypeptide. This result is considered in terms of previous attempts to study the isotope effect on conformational transitions of helical biological macromolecules and polypeptides. The conclusion is drawn that the apparent changes in conformational stability observed in these previous systems arise from alteration of the properties of the solvent. Speculations are advanced regarding the contribution of the interpeptide bond to the stability of the helical state.

    Notes: The helical structures of poly[(S)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid], in the cis and trans forms, were redetermined by using the new sets of bond angles and bond lengths established by X-ray diffraction analysis of L-thioproline. Calculations of the helical structures of poly-L-proline and poly[(S)-oxazolidine-4-carboxylic acid] were also repeated. As a result of these energy calculations, it is suggested that, in contrast to poly-L-proline and poly[(S)-oxazolidine-4-carboxylic acid], poly[(S)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid] should not mutarotate from the trans to the cis form. This result is due to the fact that the energy barrier for the conversion is most likely too high. Previous experimental work is consistent with this finding.

    Notes: Measurements of optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and circular dichroism (CD) were made in the range of 400-205 nm for polysaccharide tribenzoates such as 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl amylose (I), 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl dextran (II), tri-O-benzoyl pullulan (III), 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl cellulose (IV), 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl mannan (V), and polyglycan dibenzoates such as 2,3,-di-O-benzoyl amylose (VI), cellulose (VII), and mannan (VIII). All compounds exhibit Cotton effects in the region of their UV absorption bands (206-285 nm).Comparison of the corresponding di- and tribenzoyl polysaccharides shows a qualitative agreement in number, position and sign of the CD bands but differences in ellipticity magnitude. The disubstituted derivatives exhibit smaller amplitudes than the trisubstituted ones. The contribution of the C(6) chromophore (linked by a CH2-group to the asymmetric C(5) atom) was determined to be of the same sign as the combined contribution of the C(2) and C(3) substituents.The CD bonds of the individual polysaccharide derivatives, which differ in number, sign, and position, were discussed in terms of the steric position of the single chromophores and the steric arrangement and interaction caused by the configuration of the polysaccharides. The optical behavior of these polysaccharide derivatives was found to be not strongly influenced by a definite chain conformation in solution.

    Notes: The influence of the substituents upon the Amide I and νNH frequencies has been analyzed for ten amides substituted by aliphatic side chains. By considering the aliphatic chain field effect, some data are obtained as to the conformation of the N—Cα bond. In two amides, the presence of an equilibrium between two conformers is shown and a semiquantitative estimation of the energies involved is obtained. The consequences for polypeptides conformation, especially for poly-L-valine, are discussed.

    Notes: The effect of dielectric constant (D) of the solvent on the viscosity of heparin was examined using the relation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \eta _{{\rm sp}} /c = [\eta ]_\infty (1 + k/\sqrt c) $\end{document}, where [η]∞ is the shielded intrinsic viscosity obtained by extrapolating \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \eta _{{\rm sp}} /c\,{\rm vs}{\rm . }\,1/\sqrt c ) $\end{document} to infinite concentration, and k is an interaction parameter independent of the dielectric constant of the solvent. This equation was previously reported by the authors9 for describing the reduced viscosities of strong polyelectrolytes in salt-free polar solvents. It was found that the [η]∞ of heparin increases linearly with increasing dielectric constant of the solvent whereas the k values were, within experimental error, independent of D in the range 54.7 〈 D 〈 93.2 examined. Graded hydrolysis of heparin from its acid form (heparinic acid) at 57°C resulted in samples of varying degree of desulfation with corresponding decrease in biological activity. It was found that both [η]∞ and k decrease with increasing desulfation.

    Notes: The high-humidity X-ray pattern of oriented fibers prepared from salmon spermheads strongly resembles that of DNA in the B form. However, the nucleoprotamine pattern has a more intense first layer line and increased lateral unit-cell dimensions.Complexes of DNA with poly-L-lysine and poly-L-arginine were prepared and photographed at various relative humidities. The most crystalline patterns were obtained at 92% and also indicate DNA in the B form. However, whereas polylysine-DNA, like the spermheads, has a primitive hexagonal cell, polyarginine-DNA, like NaDNA, has three molecules in the unit cell. Polylysine-DNA, but not polyarginine-DNA, also resembles spermheads in having a strong first layer line.All three complexes show increasing intermolecular distance with increasing humidity, but with sharp maxima when photographed in water, which indicates cross-linking between the molecules. Lowering the humidity causes the polylysine-DNA, but not polyarginine-DNA, to change conformation from the B to the C form.The structural implications of these results are discussed in the light of model-building studies and a comparison of calculated and observed X-ray intensities.

    Notes: The pH, temperature, and reagent concentration dependences of the cyanuration of tyrosines within proteins are compared with those of the free amino acid. The results indicate that the mechanism of the cyanuration reaction is a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the SN2 type, where the tyrosine oxygen acts as a nucleophile and the displacement takes places at a carbon atom which is part of the six-membered ring of the s-triazene. This reaction must compete with the hydrolysis of cyanuric fluoride in aqueous media. These competing reactions generate curves for the pH dependence of the reactivity of tyrosine with cyanuric fluoride whihc vary in a predictable manner with the extent of ionization of tyrosine and the concentration of cyanuric fluoride. In the case of proteins, the dependence of the degree of tyrosine reactivity on pH and temperature within the pH range of full reactivity of the free amino acid reflects constraints imposed by the microenvironment of these groups within the three-dimensional structure of the macromolecule.

    Notes: Serum albumin undergoes a conformational change at pH 4, known as the N-F transition. In the customary Linderstrøm-Lang treatment of hydrogen ion titration, the carboxyl groups in serum albumin either have an abnormally low pK, or are buried in charged form, and the Linderstrøm-Lang charging parameter ω decreases dramatically at the N-F isomerization. In the present paper partition functions are derived and distribution functions are calculated for a model permitting salt bonding between the positively and negatively charged sites on a macromolecule. The N-form has an abnormally high salt bonding constant whereas that of the F-form corresponds to that of small ions. The result obtained is consistent with a “normal” intrinsic pK of the carboxyl groups of serum albumin without burying of any charges and with an unchanged ω. The nature of the postulated salt bonding is discussed.Further, it is shown that the “abnormal salt bonding” of serum albumin can explain its unusual ability to bind anions. Theoretical binding curves are calculated and compared with literature data of the Cl- binding of serum albumin. The relation of the present model to other models of hydrogen ion and anion binding to proteins is discussed. Some additional consequences of the present model are pointed out; a transition in the alkaline range, analogous to the acid transition, seems probable. Literature data support the existence of such a transition but do not allow detailed calculations at present.A general, thermodynamic treatment of the interactions between small ligands and macromolecules is outlined. Important points are the choice of the statistical-me- chanical ensemble and considerations of the fluctuations about the mean bonding, if (i) there are not only a ligand-locus interaction but also interligand interactions (in par- ticular intdigand attraction), or (ii) there is a conformational change in themacromole- cule depending on the ligand binding. In these cases, the binding isotherms obtained from thermodynamically closed systems (canonical ensemble) may erroneously indicate a distribution about a single probability maximum, i.e., the statistical mean binding N̄, and fluctuations about this value. The description of a phase change in a bound phase or a change in the “internal” self-interactions of a macromolecule requires a bind- ing equation permitting distributions about two maxima, i.e., (i) N1* 〈 N̄ (“thin” phase) and N2* 〉 N̄ (“condensed” phase) or (ii) two macromolecular conformations P′, and P″, having occupancy numbers N̄, and N̄2, respectively. The N-F transition is an example illustrating the relation between the complete distribution functions and the two-state approximation.

    Notes: Three samples of poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate have been prepared from γ-benzyl-N-carboxy-L-glutamate anhydride with n-hexylamine initiation at anhydride-to-initiator molar ratios, [A]/[I], of 3, 4, and 8, and their conformation and association in ethylene dichloride and dioxane have been investigated by means of infrared spectra and vapor-pressure osmometry. Two conformations, σ-and β-forms, are present in those solvents, and the content of β-form increases with increasing A/I value and concentration. At infinite dilution molecular association is absent, but the number-average molecular weight increases with cocentration, markedly in ethylene dichloride and, to a lesser extent, in dioxane. The fraction of residues involved in associated molecules have been estimated as a function of concentration. Combination of the content of β-structure with the fraction of association leads to the following results. The A/I 3 and 4 polymers form intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded aggregates, in which hydrogen-bonded residues are in the β-structure. The A/I 8 polymer has the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded β-structure at very low concentrations, but it also forms intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded aggregates at high concentrations.

    Notes: Dielectric studies have been carried out for the helix-coil transition of poly-β-benzyl-L-aspartate with m-cresol as a solvent. The transition of the solute molecules has been sharply reflected as a characteristic change in the dielectric dispersion curves in changing temperature. Two polarizations, one having a low and the other a high critical frequency, have appeared. According to theoretical considerations of a model of a broken helix, the former is found to come from the orientation. of helical sequences and the latter from the chemical relaxation due to the helix-coil transition. It also seems likely that the unfolded chain may have a polarizability which could not be neglected at the high-temperature side of the transition.

    Notes: Circular Dichroism measurements have been carried out on poly-L-lysine (PLL) and on random copolymers of lysine and phenylalanine at various pH values and in the presence of different amounts of NaClO4. The results indicate that either the homopolymer or the copolymers at pH conditions at which the side-chain amino groups are fully protonated, assume the right-handed α-helical conformation in the presence of NaClO4. The results are interpreted in terms of specific binding of ClO4- ions on charged side-chain amino groups.

    Notes: Thermal denaturation of DNA's and the corresponding helix-coil transformation of artificial polyribonucleic and polydeoxyribonucleic acids have been studied extensively both theoretically1-13 and experimentally. 14-30 Much less work has been carried out on the properties of these polynucleic acids at high pressure, and in particular, on the presure dependence of the helix-coil transition temperature.31-33 Light-scattering techniques have been used in this study to measure the pressure dependence of the helix-coil transition temperature of the two- and three-stranded helices of polyriboadenylic and polyribouridilic acids and of calf thymus DNA. From the slopes of the transition temperature vs. pressure curves and heats of transition obtained from the literature,20,34 the following volume changes from these helix-coil transitions have been obtained: (a) -0.96 cc/mole of nucleotide base pairs for the poly (A + U) transition, (b) +0.35 cc/mole of nucleotide base trios for the poly (A + 2U) transition, and (c) +2.7 cc/mole of nucleotide base pairs for the DNA transition. The relative magnitudes and signs of these volume changes which show that poly (A + U) is destabilized by increased pressure, whereas poly (A + 2U) and calf thymus DNA are stabilized by increased pressure, indicates that further development of the helix-coil transition theory for polynucleotides is needed.

    Notes: Helix-coil transition curves are calculated for poly (dA) poly(dT) and poly (dA-dT) poly (dA-dT) using the integral equation approach of Goel and Montroll.5 The transitions are described by the loop entropy model with the exponent of the loop entropy factor, k, remaining an arbitrary constant. The theoretical calculations are compared with experimental transition curves of the two polymers. Results indicate that the stacking energies for these two polymers differ by about 1 kcal/mole of base pairs. Also, a fit between theory and experiment was not possible for k 〉 1.70.

    Notes: The circular dichroism spectra of many natural DNAs and double-stranded synthetic polynucleotides were obtained. The eight first-neighbor contributions to the CD spectra of a DNA have been extracted from these data. Therefore, the CD spectrum for any DNA with known first-neighbor frequencies may be easily calculated. For a natural DNA the CD spectrum may be approximated by assuming the first-neighbor frequencies have the most probable values consistent with the base composition. Under favorable conditions, the measured CD spectrum can be used to determine thirteen of the sixteen first-neighbor frequencies of a DNA to ± 0.02 mole percent. The TG, CA, and TA first-neighbor cannot be unambiguously resolved by our method. The accuracy of the first-neighbor frequency analysis depends on the number of different first-neighbors present in the DNA and the extent to which they differ from the most probable value.The extinction coefficient at 260 nm and the base composition can also be calculated from the CD spectrum.

    Notes: Conformational energies are calculated for pairs of successive bond rotations within an internal residue of a polyribonucleotide chain. Contributions to these energies include bond torsional strain, van der Waals repulsions, London attractions, electrostatic interactions, and inductive interactions between nonbonded atoms in the nucleotide repeat unit. The average dimensions of unperturbed random-coil polyribonucleotide chains are then evaluated on the basis of energies thus estimated, using for this purpose the previously developed virtual bond treatment. The characteristic ratio \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ C_\infty = \mathop {{\rm lim}}\limits_{n \to \infty } (\langle r^2 \rangle_0/nl^2) $\end{document} of the mean-square end-to-end distance calculated for polyribonucleotide chains in which all pentose rings are fixed in a C3′-endo conformation is ≈9; for chains consisting exclusively of C2′-endo units it is ≈25. These values are considerably greater than those obtained by giving equal weight to all conformations judged to be sterically allowed. Satisfactory agreement between the calculations here and experimental values from viscosity and light-scattering studies is achieved by treating the chain as a random copolymer of C3′-endo and C2′-endo conformational isomers. The critical dependence of the characteristic ratio on the rotation about bond C3′-O3′ in the C2′-endo chain, however, obscures the interpretation of chain dimensions. The chain is also treated in higher approximation as a sequence of independent repeat units, each of which consists of six chemical bonds. The characteristic ratio obtained in this manner is 6.5 for the C3′-endo chain and 18.5 for the C2′-endo chain. Finally, the effects of partially stacked conformations in polyribonucleotides are investigated using the virtual bond treatment. Chain dimensions are calculated for random coil poly rA chains in which stacking is introduced by both noncooperative and cooperative processes.

    Notes: Optial rotatory dispersion (ORD) and Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of several β-1,4 xylan and cellulose acetates and some of their oligomers were investigated. The CD spectra proved considerably superior in terms of information content and interpretability. Comparison of the xylan and cellulose acetate series which also included partially substited cellulose acetates showed that the sign of the CD of the C(6) acetyl was negative. Likewise, the combined contribution of C(1) and C(4) to their equatorially substituted acetyls was positive (with C(1) definitely Positive) and the combined contribution of C(2)eq and C(3)eq negative. The solution conformations of both polysaccharide acetates appeared to be random. The CD of White birch xylan acetate which is substituted on the average at every tenth residue with a 4-O-methyl glucuronic acid substituent, was sensitive to it. The xylan oligomer series also illustrated that CD may be used to determine the degree of polymerization of these oligomers up to about 20.

    Notes: The mean square of dipole moment of a linear macromolecule which is responsible for dielectric increment of aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions is calculated by means of a matrix method in which ion binding at discrete sites and the nearest-neighbor interaction are taken into account. On the basis of the relationship between polarization of poly-ion and fluctuation of bound counterions the present theory indicates that the loosely bound ions result in larger increment and otherwise smaller increment. Also, the theory predicts that the dielectric increment has a maximum at an intermediate monovalent-divalent ion ratio when both species coexist. These results are consistent with experiments on polyacrylic acid neutralized with NaOH and Ca(OH)2. At large contents of divalent ions the effect of chelation is also discussed.

    Notes: 220-MHz NMR spectra of various poly (N-alkylamino acid)s are investigated. Spectra of polysarcosine recorded in various solvents showed fine splittings of the methyl and methylene bands. Comparing the spectrum with that of its model compound, the fine structure of the methyl band of polysarcosine was assigned to four dyad sequences of the cis-trans isomeric state of the main chain amide bonds. Also the methylene band was roughly divided into cis and trans bands. From the temperature dependence of the spectra of polysarcosine, a double coalescence phenomenon was observed, in which the four dyad peaks coalesced into two peaks corresponding to cis and trans, then the two peaks coalesced into one peak. Further, the approximate value of the free energy for the internal rotation of the main chain amide bond was estimated. NMR spectra of various poly(N-alkylglycine)s in methylene chloride solution were also obtained. From the comparsion of their methylene bands, the introduction of the bulky N-alkyl groups was found to increase the cis content of the amide bond.

    Notes: When exposed to a low pH, in various ionic strength conditions and in sufficiently dilute solutions, DNA undergoes a transition, revealed by an increase in optical density. A careful analysis shows that, associated with this transition, there is an effective decrease in absorbance, overcompensated by an increase in scattering. The conditions for the new transition can be summarized conveniently by a graph in a pH-Na+ molarity diagram. If the pH of a DNA solution is progressively lowered at constant Na+ concentration, one finds first the melting transition (I), and at lower pH values, the new transition (II). If the same experiment is performed on pre-denatured DNA, only transition II will be found. If native DNA is brought directly to the low pH conditions, without allowing it to denature irreversibly at intermediate pH values, transition II is reversible (with a small hysteresis effect). DNA, initially native, neutralized after prolonged exposures to the low pH, recovers the buoyant density value of native DNA, along with the absorption and scattering properties of the native state. The experiments are consistent with the interpretation that a new state exists in which DNA, still double stranded, assumes a very compact shape (of the order of 1500 Å in diameter for T2 DNA), with a hyperchromicity value of 10-14% above the native value. Nearly monodisperse suspensions of DNA molecule in this apparent state may be obtained only at very low concentrations (∼0.25 μg/ml). At 1 μg DNA/ml aggregation is noticeable. The possible connection with the condition of intraphage DNA is discussed.
