    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une méthode de détermination du contenu total en hydroxyle est décrite au niveau l' élément minéral des tissus calcifés. De l'os bovin anorganique et de l'émail dentaire sont dissouts dans un solvant non-aqueux (du chlorure méthanolique hydrogéné) et l'eau formée à partir des ions hydroxyle et carbonate, par dissolution acide du minéral, est déterminée par titration selon la méthode de Karl Fischer. L'eau, formée par réaction avec le carbonate, est calculée et soustraite du montant total de l'eau pour dèterminer la quantité d'eau, dérivée de l'ion hydroxyle. Les éléments inorganiques des échantillons sont ègalement déterminés. En utilisant des équations simultanées, basées sur l'équivalence électrochimique des ions à la surface et dans la maille de l'hydroxyle-apatite, les résultats des études de composition chimique sont utilisés pour calculer les quantités d'hydroxyle dans chaque substance. Le contenu en ion hydroxyle de l'os anorganique, basé sur ce traitement théorique, tenant compte de 2 hydroxyles par molécule, est de 1.40 moles par gramme, alors que, par analyse directe, on trouve 1.01±0.026 (S.E) m moles par gramme. Pour un échantillon d'émail dentaire, d'origine diverse, les valeurs théoriques et les valeurs expérimentales, relevées pour les contenus en hydroxyle, sont respectivement de 1.64 et 1.62 m moles par gramme.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Methode zur Bestimmung des gesamten Hydroxylgehaltes im Mineral von verkalkten Geweben beschrieben. Anorganischer Knochen und Zahnschmelz vom Rind wurden in einem wasserfreien Lösungsmittel (Methanolhydrogenchlorid) gelöst und das aus Hydroxyl- und Carbonat-Ionen sich bildende Wasser beim sauren Auflösen des Minerals mit der Titration nach Karl Fischer bestimmt. Das aus der Carbonatreaktion entstehende Wasser wurde berechnet, von der gesamten Wassermenge abgezogen und so der vom Hydroxylion her stammende Wasseranteil ermittelt. Die Proben wurden auf anorganische Bestandteile hin untersucht. Unter Anwendung simultaner Gleichungen, die sich auf die elektrochemische Äquivalenz der Ionen an der Oberfläche und im Kristallgitter von Hydroxyapatit stützten, konnten die Werte der chemischen Zusammensetzung zur Berechnung der Hydroxylmenge in jeder der Substanzen benützt werden. Auf Grund der theoretischen Berechnung und unter Annahme von 2 Hydroxylgruppen pro Molekül fand sich im anorganischen Knochen ein Hydroxylionengehalt von 1,40 mMol/g; durch die direkte Bestimmung konnte ein solcher von 1,01±0,026 (S.E.) mMol/g nachgewiesen werden. In einer gepoolten Zahnschmelzprobe betrug der Hydroxylgehalt theoretisch berechnet 1,64 mMol/g und praktisch bestimmt 1,62 mMol/g.
    Notes: Abstract A method is described for estimation of the total hydroxyl content of the mineral of calcified tissues. Anorganic bovine bone and dental enamel were dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent (methanolic hydrogen chloride) and the water formed from hydroxyl and carbonate ions by acid dissolution of the mineral was determined by the Karl Fischer titration. Water formed by reaction of carbonate was calculated and subtracted from the total amount of water to give the quantity of water derived from hydroxyl ion. The samples were analyzed for inorganic constituents. Using simultaneous equations, based upon the electrochemical equivalence of ions on the surface and lattice of hydroxyapatite, the data of chemical composition were used to calculate the amounts of hydroxyl in each substance. The content of hydroxyl ion of anorganic bone based on this theoretical treatment, assuming 2 hydroxyls per molecule, was 1.40 m moles per gram, and by direct analysis was 1.01±0.026 (S.E.) m moles per gram. With a pooled dental enamel sample, theoretical and determined values for hydroxyl contents were 1.64 and 1.62 m moles per gram, respectively.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'association de phospholipides et de la phase minérale de tissus calcifiés est étudiée en équilibrant un mélange de phosphatides avec de l'os anorganique. L'os est élué progressivement avec du chloroforme, chloroforme/méthanol et chloroforme/méthanol/HCl. Dans chaque éluat, les phospholipides sont identifiés par chromatographie quantitative. Les phosphatides acides et neutres sont présents, dans des proportions variables, dans l'éluat chloroformique de l'os anorganique. Ces lipides constituent plus de 80% des phospholipides totaux liés. L'extraction chloroforme/méthanol permit d'isoler un groupe de lipides essentiellement neutres. La composition de cet éluat d'os anorganique est voisin de l'extrait de solvant neutre d'os compact bovin minéralisé. Au troisième stade d'élution, on a pensé que lorsque l'acide du produit d'extraction agit comme un agent de déminéralisation, on pouvait comparer l'éluat avec l'extrait lipidique, obtenu après déminéralisation de l'os compact. Certes il existe des similitudes entre les phospholipides acides de l'extrait obtenu après déminéralisation et le troisième éluat lipidique de l'os. Il est possible que les phospholipides acides soient liés par des liaisons coordonnées aux ions Ca2+ et Mg2+ de la maille apatitique de l'os. En présence d'acide ou d'agent de déminéralisation, ces ions métalliques sont déplacés. Le rôle de ces composés de liaison, en tant que ponts entre les phases organiques et inorganiques des tissus calcifiés, est discuté.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Durch Äquilibration eines Gemisches von Phosphatiden mit anorganischen Knochen wurde die Bindung zwischen Phospholipiden und dem Mineralanteil von Hartgewebe untersucht. Der Knochen wurde sukzessive mit Chloroform, Chloroform/Methanol und Chloroform/Methanol/HCl eluiert. Die Phospholipide wurden in jedem der Eluate chromatographisch identifiziert und anschließend quantitativ bestimmt. Sowohl die sauren als auch die neutralen Phosphatide waren in verschiedenen Mengen im Chloroformeluat des anorganischen Knochens vorhanden. Zusammen machten diese Lipide über 80% der gesamtengebundenen Phospholipide aus. Die Extraktion in Chloroform/Methanol entzog dem anorganischen Knochen eine Gruppe von Lipiden mit vorwiegend neutralem Charakter. Die Zusammensetzung dieses zweiten Eluates aus dem anorganischen Knochen war jener ähnlich, wie sie für den Extrakt aus dem mineralisierten kompakten Rinderknochen mit einem neutralen Lösungsmittel beschrieben ist. Bei der dritten Elution wurde erörtert, daß dieses Eluat mit dem nach Demineralisation erhaltenen Lipidextrakt von kompakten Knochen verglichen werden kann, da die Säure des Extraktionsmittels demineralisierend wirkt. In der Tat wurden, was die sauren Phospholipide anbetrifft, Ähnlichkeiten zwischen dem Extrakt nach Demineralisation und dem dritten Lipideluat des Knochens festgestellt. Als Interpretation dieser Resultate wurde vorgeschlagen, daß die sauren Phospholipide koordinativ an Ca2+- und Mg2+-Ionen des Apatitgitters des Knochens gebunden sind. In einem sauren oder einem demineralisierenden Milieu werden die Bindungen zu Metallionen zerstört. Die Rolle solcher koordinativ wirkender Verbindungen als Brücken zwischen organischen und anorganischen Phasen mineralisierter Gewebe wurde besprochen.
    Notes: Abstract The association of phospholipids with the mineral phase of hard tissues was investigated by equilibrating a mixture of phosphatides with anorganic bone. The bone was eluted sequentially with chloroform, chloroform/methanol and chloroform/methanol/HCl. In each of the eluates, the phospholipids were identified chromatographically and were quantitated. Both acidic and neutral phosphatides were present, in variable proportions, in the chloroform eluate of the anorganic bone. Together, these lipids accounted for over 80% of the total bound phospholipids. Chloroform/methanol extraction removed a group of lipids from the anorganic bone which was predominately neutral in character. The composition of this second eluate of anorganic bone resembled the reported neutral solvent extract of mineralized bovine compact bone. At the third elution step, it was argued that as the acid in the extractant acted as a demineralizing agent, this eluate could be compared with the post-demineralized lipid extract of compact bone. With respect to their acidic phospholipids, similarities were noted between the post-demineralized extract and the third lipid eluate of bone. To interpret this finding, it is speculated that acidic phospholipids were bound through co-ordinating bonds to Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions of the apatite lattice of bone. In the presence of either acid or a demineralizing agent, these metal ions were displaced from the ligands. The role of such co-ordinating compounds as bridges between organic and inorganic phases of mineralized tissues is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des coupes de tibias de rats mâles et femelles, gonadectomisés et témoins, sont soumises à divers examens histologiques et histochimiques pour étudier les effets de la gonadectomie au niveau du tissu osseux. Le cartilage épiphysaire proximal des rats castrés et des rattes, ayant subi l'ablation des ovaires, est oblitéré par de l'os 5 mois après l'intervention. En outre, la diaphyse présente une ostéoporose. La matrice intercellulaire du cartilage épiphysaire des rats gonadectomisés est fortement PAS positive, contrairement à la réaction fortement alcian positive de la matrice des animaux témoins. Les travées diaphysaires des rats gonadectomisés se colorent en rouge avec le PAS et contiennent des régions étendues d'ilôts cartilagineux calcifiés. En outre, le cartilage épiphysaire et les travées osseuses de ces animaux se colorent faiblement à la ninhydrine-Schiff. Les réactions colorées suggèrent que la gonadectomie induit une altération dans le degré d'agrégation protéino-mucopolysaccharidique de la matrice organique; ce qui interfère probablement avec la minéralisation osseuse.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Tibiaschnitte von unbehandelten und kastrierten männlichen und weiblichen Ratten wurden mit verschiedenen histologischen und histochemischen Techniken untersucht, um die Knochenveränderungen im Anschluß an die Gonadektomie zu bestimmen. Es wurde beobachtet, daß sowohl beim kastrierten Männchen wie beim ovarektomierten Weibchen der proximale Epiphysenknorpel nach dem fünften postoperativen Monat durch Knochen „eingekapselt” ist. Dazu wurde auch eine Osteoporese des Knochenschaftes beobachtet. Der Epiphysenknorpel der kastrierten Ratten zeigte eine intensiv PAS-positive interzelluläre Matrix, im Gegensatz zu der alcianophil reagierenden Matrix von Kontrolltieren. Die Diaphysentrabekel von kastrierten Ratten färbten sich mit PAS rot und enthielten große Bezirke von mineralisierten Knorpelkernen. Dazu färbten sich der Epiphysenknorpel und die Trabekel dieser Tiere nur schwach mit der Ninhydrin-Schiff-Reaktion. Die Resultate der verschiedenen Färbungen zeigten, daß nach Gonadektomie eine Veränderung im Aggregatzustand der Protein-Mucopolysaccharidkomponente der organischen Matrix stattfindet, was zu einer Interferenz im Knochenmineralisationsprozeß führen könnte.
    Notes: Abstract Sections of the tibias from both intact and gonadectomized male and female rats were subjected to various histological and histochemical methods to determine the changes in the bone following gonadectomy. It was observed that both in castrated males and in ovariectomized females, the proximal epiphyseal cartilage became “sealed off” by bone after the fifth post-surgical month. In addition osteoporosis of the shaft of the bone was also observed. The epiphyseal cartilage of the gonadectomized rats exhibited intense PAS positive intercellular matrix in contrast to the alcianophilic ature of the matrix from control animals. The diaphyseal trabeculae from gonadectomized rats stained red with PAS and contained wide regions of calcified cartilage cores. In addition, the epiphyseal cartilage and bony trabeculae from these animals stained faintly in the ninhydrin-Schiff reaction. The staining reactions indicated that in gonadectomy there was an alteration in the state of aggregation of protein-mucopolysaccharide component of the organic matrix, a situation which would result in an interference in the mineralization of the bone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Neuf polets, âgés de huit semaines, ont reçu 1 mCi de32P orthophosphate par voi intrapéritonéale. Ils ont été sacrifiés 2, 14, 38, 86 et 169 heures asprès injection. Les épiphyses des os longs ont été prélevées et séparés en cartilage au repos, cartilage en voie de prolifération, cartilage en voie de calcification et os spongieux primitif. Les lipides sont extraits: chaque tissu est déminéralisé et les lipides sont extraits à nouveau. On détermine ainsi le contenu en lipides totaux et en phospholipides, ainsi que leurs divers types et l'activité spécifique relative: Le contenu lipidique total de tous les tissus épiphysaires est de 1,35 à 4,52% en poids sec de matrice déminéralisée. La fraction phospholipipidique constitue environ la moitié des lipides. Dans les régions à contenu élevé en calcium, plus de phospholipides sont extraits après déminéralisation qu'avant. Des phospholipides neutres constituten 80–90% des phospholipides totaux dans les extraits réalisés avant déminéralisation, et seulement 48–65% dans les extraits après déminéralisation. La quantité des phospholipides, éthanolamine et sérine, est variable dans les diverses zone épiphysaires. La quantité et les types de phospholipides et leur rapport avec le degré de calcification concordent avec les résultats publiés pour les tissus de veaux. Les courbes d'activité spécifique démontrent une activité réduite au niveau de cartilage au repos et des échange très actifs en phospholipides dans les trois autres zones épiphysaires. Les divers types de phospholipides ont des activités métaboliques nettement différentes les uns par rapport aux autres. Les modes d'échanges particuliers de la phosphatidyle ethanolamine, de la phosphatidyle sérine et de la phosphatidyle inositol, au niveau du cartilage en voie de prolifération et de calcification, suggérent un rôle spécial de ces lipides dans le mécanisme de las croissance et de la calcification.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Neun achtwöchige Hühner erhielten intraperitoneal 1 mCi32P-Orthophosphat und wurden 2, 14, 38, 86 und 169 Std nach der Injektion getötet. Die Epiphysen der Röhrenknochen wurden seziert und ruhende, proliferierende und verkalkende Knorpel, sowie primäre Spongiosa voneinander getrennt. Die Lipide jeder Zone wurden extrahiert, jedes Gewebe wurde demineralisiert und die Lipide erneut extrahiert. Der Gehalt der Extrakte an Gesamtlipden und Phospholipiden sowie die Art der Phospholipide wurden bestimmt und die relative spezifische Aktivität: gemessen. Der Gehalt an Gesamtlipiden aller epiphysischen Gewebe betrug 1,35–4,52% des Trockengewichtes der demineralisierten Matrix. Phospholipide machten ungefähr die Hälfte der Gesamtlipide aus. In den Zonen mit hohem Calciumgehalt konnten mehr Phospholipide nach der Demineralisation als vorher extrahiert werden. Die neutralen Phospholipide entsprachen in vor der Demineralisation erhaltenen Extrakten 80–90% und in jenen nach der Demineralisation nur 48–65% der gesamten Phospholipide. Die Aethanolamin- und Serinphospholipidmengen variierten bedeutend in den verschiedenen Zonen der Epiphyse. Die Menge und die Art der Phospholipide und ihr Verhältnis in bezug auf Verkalkungsgrad waren in Einklang mit den Werten, die für das Kalb angegeben werden. Die Kurven der relativen spezifischen Aktivität zeigten ein träges metabolisches Muster im ruhenden Knorpel und einen sehr aktiven Phospholipidumsatz in den drei anderen Zonen der Epiphyse. Die verschieden gearteten Phospholipide zeigten untereinander merklich verschiedene metabolische Muster. Die speziellen Eigenschaften der Umsatzsmuster von Phosphatidyläthanolamin, Phosphatidylserin und Phosphatidylinositol in proliferierendem und verkalkendem Knorpel lassen vermuten, daß diese Lipide spezielle Funktionen im Wachstums- oder Verkalkungsprozeß ausüben.
    Notes: Abstract Nine eight-week old chicks were given32P orthophosphate, 1 mCi, intraperitoneally and killed 2, 14, 38, 86, and 169 hours after injection. Long bone epiphyses were dissected and separated into resting cartilage, proliferating cartilage, calcifying cartilages, and primary spongiosa. Lipids were extracted from each zone, each tissue was demineralized, and lipids were extracted again. The extracts were analyzed for total lipid and phospholipid content, types of phospholipids, and relative specific activity. Total lipid content of all epiphyseal tissues was 1.35 to 4.52% of the dry demineralized matrix weight. Phospholipid was about half the total. In the zones with higher calcium content more phospholipid was extracted after demineralization that before. Neutral phospholipids were 80 to 90% of the total phospholipids in predemineralization extracts and only 48 to 65% in extracts after demineralization. The amount of ethanolamine and serine phospholipids varied considerably in different epiphyseal zones. The amount and types of phospholipid and their relation to degree of calcification corroborated data reported for the calf. Relative specific activity curves revealed a sluggish metabolic pattern in resting cartilage and very active phospholipid turnover in the other three epiphyseal zones. The different types of phospholipids had markedly different metabolic patterns from each other. Special features of the turnover patterns of phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine, and phosphatidyl inositol in proliferating and calcifying cartilage suggest special roles of these lipids in the growth or calcification process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le contenu et la composition des lipides du tissue épiphysaire ont été étudiés chez le poulet. Les valeurs des lipides totaux, des triglycérides et des phospholipides sont, respectivement dans l'os, de 7,50, 1,81 et 1,02 mg/g et, dans le cartilage, de 5,20, 1,46 et 0,53 mg/g. Les principaux acides gras trouvés dans l'os aussi bien que dans le cartilage sont les acides palmitique et oléique, parmi les phospholipides, et les acides palmitique, oléique et linoléique parmi les triglycérides. Quant aux substrats étudiés, l'ordre d'incorporation dans les lipides totaux de l'os et du cartilage a été: palmitate 〉 glucose 〉 acétate 〉 citrate. L'acétate était le principal précurseur dans la synthèse des acides gras, alors que seule une faible protion de glucose a été trouvée dans les acides gras. L'estérification semble donc être la voie prédominante de la synthèse des lipides dans l'os et le cartilage du poulet.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Untersuchung über den Gehalt und die Zusammensetzung der Lipide im Epiphysengewebe von Hühnchen durchgeführt. Es wurden 7,50 mg Gesamtlipide, 1,81 mg Triglyceride und 1,02 mg Phospholipide per Gramm Knochen gefunden. Die entsprechenden Werte per Gramm Knorpel waren 5,20, 1,46 und 0,53 mg. Die hauptsächlichsten Fettsäuren in den Phospholipiden von Knochen- und Knorpelgewebe waren Palmitin- und Ölsäure, in den Triglyceriden Palmitin-, Öl- und Linolsäure. Die untersuchten Verbindungen wurden in nachstehender Reihenfolge in Knochen- und Knorpel-Lipide eingebaut: Palmitin 〉 Glucose 〉 Acetat 〉 Citrat. Acetat war die hauptsächliche Ausgangssubstanz für die Fettsäure-Synthese, während nur ein unbeträchtlicher Teil der Glucose in den Fettsäuren vorgefunden wurde. Veresterung ist anscheinend der vorherrschende Weg der Fettsynthese in Knorpel- und Knochengewebe von Hühnchen.
    Notes: Abstract The content and composition of lipids of chick epiphyseal tissue were investigated. The amounts of total lipids, triglycerides and phospholipids in bone were 7.50, 7.81 and 1.02 mg/g, respectively, and in cartilage, 5.20, 1.46 and 0.53 mg/g, respectively. The main fatty acids of both bone and cartilage were palmitic and oleic in phospholipids, and palmitic, oleic and linoleic in triglycerides. For the substrates studied, the order of incorporation into total lipids of both bone and cartilage was palmitate 〉 glucose 〉 acetate 〉 citrate. Acetate was the main precursor for iatty acid synthesis whereas only a minor portion of glucose was found in the fatty acids. Esterification appeared to be the predominant pathway of lipid synthesis in chick bone and cartilage.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les comptages des densités de population d'ostéones secondaires permettent de déterminer le taux de formation d'os haversien sans utiliser un marquage tissulaire. Cette technique peut être appliquée à des specimens d'os paléontologiques et contemporains. A l'aide de cette technique, combinée à des marquages à la tétracycline, ces taux sont déterminés chez 180 sujets humains normaux, chez 10 diabétiques, 5 patients atteints d'ostéogenèse imparfaite et 17 femmes présentent une ostéoporose typique. La technique décrite ici est utilisée isolément sur de l'os de mastodonte. Chez les sujets normaux, une excellente concordance est observée entre les deux technique utilisées. Chez les diabétiques, les taux de formation, basée sur les comptages de population, sont diminués, mais dans des proportions moindres que celles déterminées par marquage à la tétracycline; une diminution dans la formation de l'os semble accompagner le développement de la maladie; elle ne semble pas exister pendant toute la durée de la vie. Au cours de l'ostéoporose, les taux, mesurés par les deux techniques, tombent au dessous de la normale, semblant ainsi indiquer qu'ils sont bas, au moment de l'apparition et de l'évolution de la maladie. Chez le mastodonte, le taux moyen de formation d'os est identique à celui de l'Homme et du Chien, lorsqu'on considère les moyennes entre la puberté et le milieu de la durée de vie totale.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Das Auszählen der Populationsdichte von sekundären Osteonen erlaubt es, die Haverssche Knochenbildungsgeschwindigkeit zu messen, ohne daß ein Gewebemarker eingesetzt werden muß, und zwar sowohl für paläontologische als auch für frische Knochenproben. Durch Anwendung dieser Technik zusammen mit Tetracyclinmarkierungen konnten solche Geschwindigkeiten bei 180 Normalpersonen, 10 Diabetikern, 5 Patienten mit Osteogenesis imperfecta und 17 Frauen mit symptomatischer Osteoporose gemessen werden; die neue Technik allein wurde auf einem Mastodon angewendet. Bei den Normalpersonen stimmten die Werte beider Methoden ausgezeichnet überein. Bei den Diabetikern war die aus der Populationszählung errechnete Bildungsgeschwindigkeit vermindert, jedoch in einem kleineren Ausmaß als die auf der Tetracyclinmarkierung basierende. Daraus ergibt sich, daß die verminderte Knochenbildung eher während der Entwicklung der Krankheit auftritt, als daß sie lebenslang bestehen bleibt. Bei Osteoporosepatienten fällt die mit beiden Methoden gemessene Geschwindigkeit unter die Norm, so daß sie niedrig ist, sowohl während der Entwicklung der Krankheit als auch bei bereits bestehenden Symptomen. Beim Mastodon war die mittlere Knochenbildungsgeschwindigkeit ähnlich wie der Mittelwert von jetzt lebenden Hunden und Menschen, wenn diese Geschwindigkeit in der Zeitspanne zwischen Pubertät und der mittleren Lebenszeit gemessen wird.
    Notes: Abstract Counts of the population densities of secondary osteons allow the determination of the haversian bone formation rate without the use of a tissue marker and can do so in paleontological as well as contemporary bone specimens. Using this technique, together with tetracycline markers, such rates were measured in 180 normal humans, in 10 diabetics, in 5 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, and in 17 women with symptomatic osteoporosis; the new technique alone was used on a mastodon. In the normals, excellent agreement in values occurred between the tetracycline and population-based techniques. In diabetes, population-based formation rates were decreased, but to a lesser extent than tetracycline-based rates, implying that decreased bone formation accompanied development of the disease rather than existing throughout life. In osteoporosis, the rate fell below normal when measured by both methods, implying that it was low while the disease developed and the same after it had produced symptoms. In the mastodon, the mean bone formation rate was similar to that of comtemporary dogs and man when averaged between puberty and the middle of the total life span.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé De jeunes rats donneurs, de même portée, sont injectés à l'aide de proline3H (1 μ Ci/g) et sacrifiés de 6 heures à 28 jours plus tard. Les omoplates sont prélevées, décalcifiées à l'EDTA et implantées dans la région dorsale sous-cutanée des rats receveurs. Elles sont prélevées 14 jours plus tard avec les tissus environnants, puis elles sont préparées pour l'autoradiographie et colorées à l'hématoxyline-éosine. Dans tous les cas, une prolifération de cellules géantes est observée autour de l'os. Dans les os d'animaux donneurs, prélevés 6 heures après injection de proline, l'isotope est localisé sur les bords de la face d'apposition de l'os et les cellules géantes ne l'éliminent pas. Vingt huit jours après administration de proline, lorsque, par suite de l'apposition et de la résorption, l'isotope est localisé sur le côté de l'os, en voie de résorption, les cellules géantes éliminent l'isotope, sans l'ingérer toutefois. Il apparait, ainsi, que le collagène osseux, formé récemment, est difficilement éliminé, alors que le collagène plus ancien peut être résorbé.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Jungen, als Spender verwendeten Ratten aus einem isologen Stamm wurde3H-Prolin (1 μ Ci/g) injiziert; sie wurden 6 std bis 28 Tage später getötet. Die Schulterblätter wurden herauspräpariert, mit EDTA demineralisiert und subcutan am Rücken von Empfängerratten implantiert. 14 Tage später wurden sie mit dem umgebenden Gewebe entfernt, geschnitten, zur Autoradiographie vorbereitet und mit Hämatoxylin-Eosin gefärbt. In allen Fällen fand sich eine Ansammlung von Riesenzellen rund um den Knochen. Knochen, welche 6 Std nach der Prolininjektion von Spendertieren entnommen wurden, enthielten die Markierung am Rande der Anlagerungsseite, und diese Markierung wurde durch die Riesenzellen nicht verdrängt. Knochen, welche 28 Tage nach der Prolininjektion von Spendertieren entnommen wurden, zeigten durch Anlagerung und Resorption die Markierung auf der resorptiven Seite des Knochens; die Riesenzellen entfernten die Markierung, jedoch ohne sie zu phagocytieren. Es scheint daher, wie es auch in der Literatur vorgeschlagen wird, daß neugebildetes Knochenkollagen nur schwer zu entfernen ist, älteres Kollagen jedoch resorbiert werden kann.
    Notes: Abstract Young donor rats of an isogenously related strain were injected with3H proline (1 μ Ci/g) and killed from 6 hours to 28 days later. The scapulae were removed, decalcified with EDTA and implanted subcutaneously into the backs of recipient rats. They were removed 14 days later with the surrounding tissue, sectioned, processed for autoradiography and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. In all cases there was a giant cell response round the bone. In bones removed from the donor animals 6 hours after proline injections, the label was on the edge of the appositional side of the bone and the giant cells did not remove it. By 28 days after proline administration when, due to apposition and resorption, the label was on the resorptive side of the bone, giant cells were seen removing the label, which however they did not ingest. It thus appears, as has been suggested in the literature, that recently formed bone collagen is removed with difficulty, but older collagen can be resorbed.

En outre, aucun changement de poids corporel ou du poids des cendres squelettiques n'est observé par rapport aux témoins. Un troisième groupe, soumis à une alimentation pauvre en calcium, mais contenant une quantité suffisante de vitamine D, présente une hyperplasie mastocytaire marquée au niveau de la moëlle osseuse de tous les animaux.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Entwöhnte Sprague-Dawley-Ratten erhiclten während einer Periode von 30 Tagen niedrige Dosen von Parathyroidhormon. 7 von 12 Tieren zeigten eine Mastzell-Hyperplasie im proximalen Teil des Tibiametaphysenmarks, ohne gleichzeitige Erniedrigung des Serumphosphates oder Anstieg des Serumcalciums. Femer traten im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe keine Veränderungen im Körpergewicht oder im Gewicht des Aschenrückstandes des Skelets auf. Eine dritte Gruppe, die eine Calcium-arme, entsprechend mit Vitamin D angereicherte Nahrung erhielt, zeigte eine ausgeprägte Mastzell-Hyperplasie im Knochenmark aller Tiere.
    Notes: Abstract Low doses of parathyroid hormone were administered over a 30-day period to Sprague-Dawley weanlings rats. In 7 of 12 animals, mast cell hyperplasia occurred in the proximal tibial metaphyseal marrow, without an associated fall in serum phosphorus or rise in serum calcium. Further, no alteration occurred in body weight or skeletal ash weight relative to the control population. A third group, on a calcium-deficient diet containing adequate vitamin D, showed marked bone marrow mast cell hyperplasia in all animals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'effet de l'ingestion de fluor chez le rat, sous la forme de fluorure de sodium (NaF) et de monofluorophosphate de sodium (Na2PO3F), est étudié au niveau de tibias immobilisés à l'aide de résine acrylique. Après 4 semaines d'immobilisation, des humérus intacts et des tibias immobilisés et non-immobilisés sont étudiés en ce qui concerne l'épaisseur osseuse, la gravité spécifique et le contenu en citrate, cendre, calcium, phosphore et fluor. Nos travaux reconfirment les résultats antérieurs démontrant que l'administration de fluor augmente la minéralisation osseuse et compense ainsi la diminution de son épaisseur, de son contenu en cendres et de sa gravité spécifique, provoquée par l'atrophie osseuse, sans modifier le rapport Ca/P des cendres. L'augmentation de l'épaisseur osseuse est plus marquée chez les rats traités au Na2PO3F, malgré une incorporation fluorée moindre. Le contenu en cendre est plus faible au niveau des os des rats traités au NaF que dans ceux traités au Na2PO3F et ceux des témoins non fluorés. Des recherches ultérieures sont nécessaires pour étudier les avantages du Na2PO3F.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Fluorideinnahmen entweder in Form von Natriumfluorid (NaF) oder von Natriummonofluorophosphat (Na2PO3F) wurde bei Ratten verfolgt, indem der Tibiaknochen durch Anwendung von Acrylharz immobilisiert wurde. Nach 4 Wochen der Immobilisation wurden die unbehandelten Humeri und die nicht-immobilisierten und die immobilisierten Tibiae in folgender Hinsicht untersucht: Knochendicke, spezifisches Gewicht, Zitrat-, Asche-, Calcium-, Phosphor- und Fluoridgehalt. Die Resultate bestätigen frühere Befunde: die Fluoridgabe erhöht die Mineralisations-geschwindigkeit der Knochen und wirkt im atrophischen Knochen gegen die Abnahme der Knochendicke, des Aschegehaltes und des spezifischen Gewichts, ohne daß dadurch das Ca/P-Verhältnis der Asche verändert wird. Die Zunahme der Knochendicke war bei Na2PO3F-behandelten Ratten ausgeprägter, obwohl weniger Fluorid eingebaut wurde. Der Zitratgehalt war in den Knochen der mit NaF behandelten Ratten niedriger als in jenen von Tieren, die Na2PO3F erhielten oder die fluoridfrei gehalten wurden. Die erheblichen Vorteile des Na2PO3F rechtfertigen ausgedehntere Forschungen in dieser Richtung.
    Notes: Abstract The effect of fluoride intake in rats as sodium fluoride (NaF) and sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) on immobilization of the tibial bone was investigated. After 4 weeks of immobilization intact humeri and non-immobilized and immobilized tibiae were examined for bone thickness, specific gravity, citrate, ash, and calcium, phosphorus and fluoride contents. The results confirm previous findings that administration of fluoride increases the mineralization rate of bones and counteracts the decrease in bone thickness,ash content and specific gravity induced by immobilization, without changing the Ca/P ratio of the ash. The increase in bone thickness was more marked in the Na2PO3F treated rats, in spite of a lower fluoride incorporation. The citrate content was lower in the bones of the NaF-treated rats than in the Na2PO3F-treated and fluoride-free rats. The potential advantage of Na2PO3F appears to justify more extensive investigation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une étude de microscopie électronique est réalisée pour déterminer si l'élargissement des raies des diagrammes de diffraction aux rayons X, observée après divers procédés de préparation, est liée à la fragmentation des cristaux ou à l'espèce cristalline considérée. Les échantillons d'émail, obtenus par meulage à l'aide de diamants ou de fraises de carbones, tournant à grandes ou à petites vitesses, contiennent de grandes quantités d'émail finement pulvérisé, des quantités relativement grandes de cristaux individuels disséminés et relativement peu de particules (habituellement inférieures à 5 microns), contenant un nombre variable de cristaux intacts. Des échantillons témoins, obtenus par meulage à l'aide de billes, contiennent des cristaux intacts de 5–10 microns. Un meulage prolongé à l'aide de billes donne des quantités importantes de produits fins (inférieurs à 0.025 microns), qui augmentent avec un meulage plus prolongé. Les tailles des particules d'un monocristal d'hydroxyle-apatite synthétique, préparé à l'aide d'une meulette diamantée, tournant à faible vitesse, variant de 〈0.025 microns à 〉5 microns: les particules plus larges prédominent. Le fait de chauffer les cristaux d'os augmente nettement leur taille: par contre ils ne se modifient pas après meulage à l'aide de billes. Un plan de clivage préférentiel n'a pu être mis en évidence dans l'émail. La nature hétérogène et la morphologie cristalline peuvent, par conséquent, être responsables de la fragmentation élevée, qui a pu être constatée. Cette fragmentation cristalline est probablement responsable de l'élargissement des raies de diffraction aux rayons X, bien que l'espèce cristalline considérée puisse également être en cause.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurde am Elektronenmikroskop untersucht, ob die Verbreiterung der Röntgendiffraktionsbanden, welche nach verschiedenen Aufbereitungstechniken beobachtet werden konnte, auf eine Kristallzertrümmerung oder auf Druck zurückzuführen ist. Alle Schmelzproben, die durch Zerreiben mit hoch- oder niedrigtourigen Diamantsteinen oder mit Carbidbohrern gewonnen wurden, enthielten große Mengen von feinabgespaltenem Schmelz, eine relativ große Anzahl von verstreuten einzelnen Kristallen und relativ wenig Partikel (gewöhnlich 〈5 μ), die aus einer variablen Anzahl von intakten Kristallen bestanden. Mit dem Kugelbohrer gewonnene Kontrollproben enthielten Aggregate von intakten Kriställchen in der Größe von 5–10 μ. Längeres Zerreiben mit dem Kugelbohrer ergab signifikante Mengen von feinabgespaltenem Material (〈250 Å), das sich mit zunehmendem Zerreiben noch vermehrte. Wurde ein einzelner großer synthetischer Hydroxyapatitkristall mit einem niedrigtourigen Diamantstein zerrieben, so variierte die Größe der Partikel zwischen 〈250 Å und 〉5 μ, wobei die größeren Partikel vorherrschten. Knochenkriställchen erfuhren beim Ausglühen eine merkliche Vergrößerung, blieben jedoch unbeschädigt nach verlängertem Zerreiben in der Kugelmühle. Es konnte nicht bewiesen werden, daß im Schmelz die Abspaltung nach bevorzugten Flächen vorgeht; die komplexe Natur und die Kristallmorphologie können deshalb für die beobachtete starke Zertrümmerung verantwortlich gemacht werden. Die Bandenverbreiterung, die bei der Röntgendiffraktion beobachtet werden konnte, ist wahrscheinlich auf die Zertrümmerung der Kristalle zurückzuführen, obschon auch Druck als Faktor eine Rolle spielen kann.
    Notes: Abstract A study in the electron microscope was carried out to determine if the broadening of X-ray diffraction patterns was related to crystal fragmentation or strain resulting from the preparative technique. All enamel samples, collected either by grinding with high- or low-speed diamond stones or by carbide burs, contained large amounts of finely-divided enamel, a relatively large number of scattered individual crystals and relatively few particles (usually 〈5 μ in size), containing varying numbers of intact crystals. Ball-ground control samples contained aggregates of unbroken crystallites 5–10 μ in size. Prolonged ball grinding produced a significant amount of finely-divided material (〈0.025 μ), the amount increasing with increased grinding. Particle sizes of material ground from a large single crystal of synthetic hydroxyapatite with a low-speed diamond stone ranged from 〈0.025 μ to 〉5 μ, the larger particles predominating. Annealing bone crystallites increased their size appreciably but they remained undamaged despite prolonged grinding in the ball mill. There was no evidence to suggest a plane of preferred cleavage in enamel; the composite nature and crystal morphology may be responsible, therefore, for the severe fragmentation observed. Crystallite fragmentation is probably responsible for the line-broadening observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern, although strain may also be a contributing factor.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les tissus squelettiques de poissons téléostéens (Scomber scombrus, etGadus callaria) et d'élasmobranches (Raja batis etScyllium canicula) sont analysés pour leur contenu en lipides. Plus de phospholipides sont extraits des tissus osseux de téléostéens que des tissus cartilagineux d'élasmobranches. Outre la proportion lipidique plus élevée de l'os de téléostéens, des différences de composition lipidique ont été notées entre les deux tissus. Avant démineralisation, les extraits deGadus et Scomber sont surtout constitués de phospholipides neutres. Par contre, les phosphatides des tissus cartilagineux contiennent des quantités importantes de phospholipides acides. Après déminéralisation de l'os et du cartilage de poissions, les solvants pour lipides neutres éluent á la fois les phosphatides acides et neutres de ces tissus. Après extraction des lipides, le traitement des tissus déminéralisés par des solvant acides extrait à nouveau des lipides. Dans cette fraction finale, un grand nombre de phospholipides ont été retrouvés. A ce stade, d'autres phosphatides, que ceux mis en évidence chez les poissons précités, sont extraits à partir de l'os déminéralisé deScomber. Le principal phosphatide de la fraction finale est constitué par la cardiolipine dont des quantités plus importantes, que celles notées au niveau des autres tissus durs, sont retrouvées dans l'os deScomber.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Skeletgewebe der Knochenfische (Scomber scombrus undGadus callaria) und der Knorpelfische (Raja batis undScyllium canicula) wurden auf ihren Lipidgehalt untersucht. Es ergab sich, daß mehr Phospholipide aus dem Knochengewebe der Knochenfische extrahiert werden konnte, als dies aus dem Knorpelgewebe der Knorpelfische möglich war. Es wurde nicht nur eine größere Lipidmenge im Knochen der Knochenfische festgestellt, sondern auch noch Unterschiede in der Lipidzusammensetzung der beiden Gewebe beobachtet. Die vor der Demineralisation hergestellten Extrakte von Gadus und Scomber bestanden vorwiegend aus neutralen Phospholipiden. Dagegen enthielten die Phosphatide der Knorpelgewebe ansehnliche Mengen saurer Phospholipide. Nach der Demineralisation von Fischknochen und-knorpel wurden durch neutrale Lipidlösungsmittel sowohl saure als auch neutrale Phosphatide aus diesen Geweben eluiert. Wenn die demineralisierten Gewebe, denen bereits Lipide entzogen wurden, noch mit angesäuerten Lösungsmitteln behandelt wurden, konnten erneut Lipide aus Knochen und Knorpel extrahiert werden. Im letzten Extrakt konnten die verschiedensten Phospholipide nachgewiesen werden. In diesem Stadium konnten verhältnismäßig mehr Phosphatide aus dem demineralisierten Knochen von Scomber entzogen werden, als dies bei anderen Fischarten möglich war. Das wichtigste Phosphatid dieses letzten Extraktes war Cardiolipin. Tatsächlich war mehr Cardiolipin in den Knochen von Scomber vorhanden als in allen andern Hartgeweben.
    Notes: Abstract The skeletal tissues of teleost (Scomber scombrus andGadus callaria) and elasmobranch (Raja batis andScyllium canicula) fish were examined for the presence of lipids. It was found that more phospholipid was removed from the bony tissues of the teleosts than was extractable from the cartilaginous tissues of the elasmobranchs. Apart from there being a greater proportion of lipid associated with teleost bone, differences were also noted in the lipid composition of the two tissues. Before demineralization, inGadus andScomber, the extracts were predominantly of neutral phospholipids. In contrast, the phosphatides of the cartilaginous tissues contained appreciable quantities of acidic phospholipids. After demineralization of piscine bone and cartilage, neutral lipid solvents eluted both acidic and neutral phosphatides from these tissues. When the demineralized lipid extracted tissues were treated with acidified solvents, lipid was again removed from the bone and cartilage. In this final extract, a wide variety of phospholipids was detected. At this stage, more phosphatide was extracted from the demineralized bone ofScomber, compared with the other piscine species. The principal phosphatide of this final extract was cardiolipin. More cardiolipin was present in the bone ofScomber than in any other hard tissue.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Un mécanisme nouveau tente d'expliquer comment des forces mécaniques augmentées ou diminuées, appliquées à l'os, sont transformées en activité ostéoblastique et/ou ostéoclastique. Une hypothèse mécano-chimique du remaniement osseux, induit par stress mécanique, est émise pour expliquer ce phénomène. L'os répond á un stress mécanique par une croissance différentielle de façon á résister au stress appliqué: par suite le remaniement osseux induit mécaniquement est probablement sous le controle d'un système “feedback” négatif. L'hypothèse consiste dans le fait qu'un changement de charge au niveau de l'os modifie la tension au niveau des cristaux d'apatite de l'os. Ceci modifie la solubilité des cristaux qui fournit ainsi le message de “feedback” négatif nécessaire aux cellules osseuses, sous la forme d'un changement chimique, indiut par un phénomène mécanique. Les cellules aggissent alors pour compenser les modifications de l'activé calcique localisée soit en construisant de l'os pour redistribuer le stress augmenté, ou en résorbant de l'os, qui est en surplus des besoins structuraux, liés à un stress réduit. Pour tester cette hypothèse, des cristaux d'hydroxyleapatite sont soumis à un stress et des changements d'activité ionique du calcium sont enregistrés à l'aide d'une électrode à cation divalent. Les résultats démontrent qu'un effet mécano-chimique peut etre détecté dans les cristaux d'apatite qui, soumis à un stress, engendrent une activité en calcium de 9×10−5 moles/litres et de 7×10−5 moles/litre, dans des conditions sans stress. Les résultats expérimentaux de cette étude et les données de la physiologie cellulaire s'accordent avec l'hypothèse mécano-chimique proposée.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Um zu erklären, in welcher Weise auf Knochen applizierte, erhöhte oder verminderte mechanische Stresse zu einer Osteoblasten- und/oder Osteoklastenaktivität führen, wird ein neuer Mechanismus vorgeschlagen. Eine mechanochemische Hypothese der Knochenneubildung, verursacht durch mechanische Stresse, wird besprochen, um dieses Phänomen zu erklären. Knochen reagiert auf mechanische Stresse mit differenziertem Wachstum, um damit dem angewandten Stress zu widerstehen; daraus folgt, daß mechanisch induzierte Knochenneubildung vermutlich durch ein negatives Feedback-System reguliert wird. Die Hypothese besteht darin, daß eine Veränderung der Ladung des Knochens eine Veränderung der Spannung der Hydroxyapatitkristalle im Knochen zur Folge hat. Dies wiederum verändert die Löslichkeit der Kristalle und gibt damit die benötigte negative Feedback-Botschaft an die Knochenzellen in Form einer mechanischinduzierten chemischen Umgestaltung weiter. Die Zellen verhalten sich nun dementsprechend, um der Änderung der örtlichen Calciumaktivität entgegenzuwirken; entweder wird Knochengewebe gebildet, um einen erhöhten Stress neu zu verteilen, oder jener Knochenanteil wird beseitigt, der bei reduziertem Stress einen Überschuß der Strukturbedürfnisse darstellt. Um diese Annahme zu überprüfen, wurden synthetische Hydroxyapatitkristalle einem Stress unterworfen, und die Änderung in der Aktivität der Calciumionen wurde mittels einer divalenten Elektrode zur Messung der Kationenaktivität registriert. Die Resultate zeigen, daß ein mechanochemischer Effekt in den Hydroxyapatitkristallen nachgewiesen werden kann, die unter Stress eine Calciumaktivität von 9·10−5 Mol/Liter, dagegen ohne Stress eine solche von 7·10−5 Mol/Liter erzeugen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen einerseits und die Aussagen der Zellenphysiologie andererseits stimmen mit der hier vorgeschlagenen mechanochemischen Hypothese überein.
    Notes: Abstract A new mechanism is presented to explain how increased or decreased mechanical stresses applied to bone are translated into osteoblastic and/or osteoclastic activity. A mechano-chemical hypothesis for bone remodeling induced by mechanical stress is presented in an attempt to explain this phenomenon. Bone responds to mechanical stress by differential growth so as to resist the applied stress; therefore mechanically induced bone remodeling is probably regulated by a negative feedback system. The hypothesis is that a change in the loading of bone results in an altered straining of the hydroxyapatite crystals in bone. This in turn alters the solubility of the crystals, providing the required negative feedback message to the bone cells in the form of a mechanically induced chemical change. The cells then take appropriate action to compensate for the alteration in the localized calcium activity either by building up bone to redistribute an increased stress, or by removing bone which is surplus to the structural needs imposed by a reduced stress. In order to test the hypothesis, synthetic hydroxyapatite crystals were stressed and changes in calcium ion activity were recorded from a divalent cation activity electrode. The results show that a mechanochemical effect can be detected in hydroxyapatite crystals which, when stressed, generate a calcium activity of 9×10−5 moles/l compared to 7×10−5 moles/l when unstressed. The experimental results in this study and evidence from cellular physiology are consistent with the mechanochemical hypothesis proposed here.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La profondeur moyenne de l'os érodé, par unité de temps, au niveau de centres de résorption, est musurée sur des biopsies osseuses, marquées à la tétracycline et prélevées au niveau de 16 patients en dialyse rénale périodique, d'un adolescent présentant un rachitisme rénal et de l'hyperparathyroidie secondaire, et de 2 femmes adultes atteintes d'hyperparathyroidie primitive. L'index de résorption cellulaire est sub-normal au niveau des surfaces d'os haversien de tous les groupes. Il est sub-normal au niveau des surfaces osseuses de l'endoste cortical dans le groupe sous dialyse. Le matériel biopsique était insuffisant pour établir l'index dans les deux autres groupes. Il apparait ainsi que les ostéoclastes individuels, provenant de cas d'hyperparathyroidie de longue durée, résorbent l'os plus lentement que dans des conditions normales.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die mittlere Tiefe von Knochenerosionen, die pro Zeiteinheit in den Resorptionszentren entstanden, wurde in Tetracyclin-markierten Knochenbiopsien gemessen. Die Biopsien stammten von 16 erwachsenen, periodisch hämodialysierten Patienten, ferner von einem Jugendlichen mit renaler Rachitis und sekundärem Hyperparathyreoidismus sowie von zwei erwachsenen Frauen mit erwiesenem Hyperparathyreoidismus. Dieser Index der Resorption auf cellulärer Ebene war in allen Gruppen subnormal, wenn er auf der Innenschicht der Haverschen Kanäle bestimmt wurde. Er war ebenfalls subnormal in der Gruppe dialysierter Patienten auf die cortico-endostale Knochenoberfläche bezogen. Bei den anderen zwei Gruppen konnte der Index für die letztgenannte Oberfläche nicht bestimmt werden, da zu wenig Material vorlag. Diese Resultate lassen vermuten, daß einzelne Osteoklasten in Fällen von langdauerndem Hyperparathyreoidismus beim Menschen den Knochen langsamer resorbieren als dies normalerweise der Fall ist.
    Notes: Abstract The mean depth of bone eroded in unit time at resorption centers was measured in tetracycline-labeled bone biopsies of 16 adult patients on periodic renal dialysis, of one adolescent boy with renal rickets and secondary hyperparathyroidism, and of two adult women with proven primary hyperparathyroidism. This index of cellular-level resorption was subnormal on haversian bone surfaces in all groups, and it was subnormal on cortical-endosteal bone surfaces in the dialysis group; there was insufficient material to evaluate the index on this latter surface in the other two groups. The results suggest that individual osteoclasts resorb bone more slowly than normal in naturally occurring human hyperparathyroid states of long standing.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le but de cette étude est l'analyse des lipides des tissus calcifiés au niveau de la dentine et de l'émail bovins et de l'os cortical humain. Les lipides extraits des tissues pulvérisés sont analysés qualitativement par chromatographie sur colonne. Des échantillons ont été déminéralisés et une seconde extraction a permis de comparer les résultats obtenus avec ceux de la première analyse. Les acides gras des lipides osseux sont étudiés par chromatographie en phase gazeuse et comparés à ceux de l'os spongieux et des expaces médulaires. Les tissus calcifiés contiennent du cholestérol et ses esters, des monoglycérides, des diglycérides, des triglycérides, des acides gras libres et divers phospholipides. A part certains cas, et en particulier l'émail bovin, où l'on n'a pas pu identifier des phospholipides, ces derniers sont constitués par de la lécithine, la lyso-lécithine, l'éthanolamine de phosphatidyle, la sphingomyéline, ainsi que par des substances qui pourraient être de l'acide phosphatidique et de la cardiolipine. La sérine de phosphatidyle a pu être isolée de la dentine bovine, seulement après déminéralisation, mais a pu être extrait de l'os à la avant et, après traitement à l'EDTA. D'autres lipides sont recueillis après déminéralisation à l'EDTA et une seconde dé minéralisation. Les lipides totaux extraits sont d'environ 20.28 mg/100 grammes de dentine, 1.97 mg/100 grammes d'émail et 2005 mg/100 grammes, d'os humain. Le constituant lipidique principal de l'os cortical humain est le triglycéride et la composition en acide gras est identique à celle de l'os spongieux et de la moëlle.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Drei verschiedene Materialien wurden untersucht: bovines Dentin, boviner Schmelz und menschliche Corticalis. Die aus den pulverisierten Geweben extrahierten Lipide wurden qualitativ mittels Säulenchromatographie analysiert. Die Proben wurden ebenfalls demineralisiert und ein zweites Mal extrahiert, damit die Resultate mit denjenigen vor der Demineralisation verglichen werden konnten. Die Fettsäuren der Knochenlipide wurden mittels Gaschromatographie untersucht und mit den Fettsäuren der Spongiosa und des Markes verglichen. In den verkalkten Geweben fanden sich Cholesterol, Cholesterolester, Monoglyceride, Diglyceride, Triglyceride, freie Fettsäuren und verschiedene Phospholipide. Mit einigen Ausnahmen, wie z. B. in bovinem Schmelz, wo Phospholipide nicht nachgewiesen werden konnten, bestanden diese Phospholipide aus Lecithin, Lysolecithin, Phosphatidyläthanolamin, Lysophosphatidyläthanolamin, Phosphatidylinositol, Sphingomyelin und Substanzen, welche Phosphatidsäure und Cariolipin sein könnten. Aus bovinem Dentin konnte Phosphatidylserin nur nach Demineralisation extrahiert werden; aus Knochen ließ es sich jedoch sowohl vor wie nach EDTA-Behandlung entfernen. Zusätzliche Lipide wurden aus Proben gewonnen, wenn diese mit EDTA demineralisiert und ein zweites Mal extrahiert wurden. Die gesamte aus den Geweben extrahierte Lipidmenge betrug im Mittel 20,28 mg/100 g Dentin, 1,97 mg/100 g Schmelz und 2005 mg/100 g menschlichen Knochen. Der Hauptteil der Lipide aus menschlicher Corticalis bestand aus Triglyceriden und die Zusammensetzung der Fettsäuren entsprach jener im Mark und in der Spongiosa.
    Notes: Abstract Three different materials were studied: bovine dentin, bovine enamel, and human cortical bone. Lipids extracted from pulverized tissues were analyzed qualitatively by paper chromatography and quantitatively by column chromatography. Sample materials were also demineralized and extracted a second time so that results could be compared to those obtained prior to demineralization. Fatty acids of bone lipids were investigated by vapor phase chromatography and compared to the fatty acids of trabecular bone and bone marrow. Calcified tissues were found to contain cholesterol, cholesterol esters, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and various phospholipids. With some exceptions, such as bovine enamel where phospholipids could not be identified, these included lecithin, lysolecithin, cephalin, lysocephalin, monophosphoinositide, sphingomyelin, and substances which might be phosphatidic acid and cardiolipin. Phosphatidylserine was extractable from bovine dentin only after demineralization, but was removable from bone both before and after EDTA treatment. Additional lipids were obtained from sample materials if they were demineralized with EDTA and extracted a second time. The total lipids extracted from the tissues averaged 20.28 mg/100 g dentin, 1.97 mg/100 g enamel, and 2,005 mg/100 g human bone. The major portion of human cortical bone lipids was triglyceride and the fatty acid composition was similar to that of marrow and trabecular bone.

Le Cu, Fe et Zn restent dans la matrice collagène de l'os et se retrouvent en quantités équivalentes dans le tendon. Il semble donc que ces ions soient liés chimiquement à la matrice collagène de ces tissusin vivo et que cette liaison joue un rôle dans leur activité. La majorité du Pb, Si, Sr, et V de l'os reste dans la fraction minérale, probablement sous la forme d'ions substitués ou interstitiels. Le Zn se répartit entre les phases organiques et minérales.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die natürliche Zusammensetzung der Spurenelemente im menschlichen Knochemineral und im demineralisierten Knochen wurde mittels Emissionsspektroskopie gemessen und mit jener im ursprünglichen, intakten Knochen und in der menschlichen Sehne verglichen. Cu, Fe und Zn blieben in der Kollagenmatrix des Knochens zurück und wurden in ähnlichen Mengen in der Sehne gefunden. Deshalb wird angenommen, daß diese Ionen in vivo chemisch an die Kollagenmatrix dieser Gewebe gebunden sind und daß diese Bindung einen Anteil an ihrer Aktivität hat. Der größte Teil des Pb, Si, Sr und V des Knochens blieb in der Mineralfraktion, vermutlich als substituierte oder interstitielle Ionen. Zn ist gleichmäßig auf die organische und anorganische Phase verteilt.
    Notes: Abstract The natural trace metal compositions of human bone mineral and demineralized bone were measured by emission spectroscopy and compared with those of the original whole bone and human tendon. Cu, Fe and Zn remained in the collagenous matrix of bone and were found in similar quantities in tendon. It is suggested, therefore, that these ions are chemically bound to the collagen matrix in these tissuesin vivo, and that the binding has a part in their activity. Most of the Pb, Si, Sr, and V in bone remained with the mineral portion, probably as substituted or interstitial ions. Zn is divided between the organic and mineral phases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des groupes de jeunes rats sont injectés par voie intraveineuse avec du22Na. Après divers intervalles de temps courts, du sérum et des fragments de foie, de muscle squelettique, de rein et d'os compact soigneusement isolé sont prélevés et étudiés en ce qui concerne les concentrations en sodium stable et isotopique radioactif. La pénétration du22Na dans les tissus mous examinés est très rapide et, après 10 minutes, seule une faible proportion de sodium tissulaire reste relativement inaccessible à la circulation. La vitesse d'absorption de22Na par l'os compact tibial peut être divisée en deux phases: a) une phase rapide qui semble uniquement limitée par la circulation sanguine de l'os et qui est compatible avec la théorie des cycles et b) une phase bien plus lente qui peut s'effectuer par diffusion de l'état solide, recristallisation et remaniement physiologique et qui peut se définir de façon correcte par une formule de fonction de puissance.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Gruppen von jungen Ratten erhielten22Na intravenös injiziert. Anschließend wurden nach verschiedenen kurzen Zeitintervallen Proben von Leber, Skelettmuskel, Niere, Serum und saubergereinigten kompakten Knochen entnommen und die Konzentrationen des beständigen und des radioaktiven Natriums gemessen. 22Na drang sehr rasch in die untersuchten Gewebe ein, und nach 10 min blieb nur eine kleine Menge nicht-austauschbares Natrium im Gewebe zurück. Die Geschwindigkeit der22Na-Aufnahme im kompakten Knochengewebe der Tibia konnte in zwei Komponenten aufgeteilt werden: a) Ein rascher Vorgang, der einzig durch die Blutzirkulation im Knochen begrenzt zu sein scheint und der mit dem „cycling concept” vereinbar ist. b) Ein viel langsamerer Vorgang, der eine Diffusion im festen Zustand, eine Rekristallisation und einen physiologischen Umbau einschließen kann und der entsprechend durch eine Potenzfunktion ausgedrückt wird.
    Notes: Abstract Groups of young rats were intravenously injected with22Na. At various short time intervals thereafter samples of liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, serum and thoroughly-cleaned compact bone were removed and assayed for both stable and radioisotopic concentrations of sodium. Penetration of22Na into the analysed soft tissues was very rapid and after 10 minutes only a small amount of tissue sodium remained relatively unavailable to the circulation. The rate of22Na-uptake by the tibial compact bone could be divided into two components: (a) a fast process which appears to be limited only by the blood circulation in bone and is compatible with the cycling concept and (b) a much slower process which may involve solid state diffusion, recrystallisation and physiological remodelling and which is adequately defined by a power function expression.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La réactivité de l'os de rat envers un contenu faible et élevé de strontium a été étudiée par la technique de l'échange radioisotopique dans des conditionsin vitro bien définies. Des courbes d'absorption de solution de45Ca par des poudres d'os, pauvres et riches en strontium, ainsi que celles de solution de85Sr par des poudres d'os, riches en strontium, ont été analysées. Des fonctions exponentielles et de puissance ont été établies. Les résultats indiquent que le strontium en solution atteint un équilibre d'échange dans l'os, à contenu élevé en strontium, en huit heures environ et que le calcium continue à rechercher un état d'équilibre. Il semble, en outre, que les réactions de diffusion et d'échange de surface de la phase solide hydratée soient les mécanismes majeurs observés pendant ces expériences.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Reaktionsfähigkeit von Rattenknochen mit niederem und hohem Strontiumgehalt wurdein vitro mit der Isotopenaustauschtechnik unter gut definierten Bedingungen untersucht. Kurven, welche die vom Knochenpulver mit niederem und hohem Strontiumgehalt aufgenommene45Ca-Menge, sowie jene von Knochenpulver mit ausschließlich hohem Strontiumgehalt aufgenommene85Sr-Menge wiedergaben, wurden ausgewertet. Die Gleichungen der Exponential- sowie der Potenzfunktionen wurden abgeleitet. Die Interpretation der Ergebnisse dieser Experimente ist, daß das Strontium der Lösung ein Austauschgleichgewicht mit Knochen mit hohem Strontiumgehalt nach einer Periode von etwa 8 Std erreicht, während Calcium fortfährt, sich einem Gleichgewichtsstadium zu nähern. Es wird weiterhin vermutet, daß Diffusion und Oberflächen-Austauschreaktionen der Hydratationsschicht der soliden Phase die vorherrschenden Vorgänge sind, die im Laufe dieser Experimente stattfinden.
    Notes: Abstract The reactivity of rat bone of low- or of high-strontium content was investigated by the technique of radioisotopic exchange under well-defined conditionsin vitro. Analyses of curves depicting the uptake from solution of45Ca by low- and by high-strontium bone powders, and of85Sr by high-strontium bone powder only, were performed. Both exponential and power function expressions were derived. The interpretation of results of these experiments is that strontium of solution reaches exchange-equilibrium with bone of high-strontium content over a period of about eight hours, but that calcium continues to approach a state of equilibrium. Further, it is suggested that diffusion and surface exchange reactions of the hydrated solid phase are the dominant processes operating during the periods of these experiments.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une comparaison du remainiement osseux de la mandibule, du présphénoide et du fémur de veaux, recevant des quantités variables de vitamin A (2 doses carentielles et 2 doses de contrôle) pendant une durée de 16 semaines, a été réalisée. La croissance enchondrale a également été étudiée. Les résultats indiquent une altération du remaniement des os carencés, liée à une déficience de la résorption sous-périostée, cette dernière étant souvent remplacée par de l'apposition. Le traitement eut peu ou pas d'effet au niveau des surfaces périostées, où le remaniement normal ne nécessite pas de résorption. Etant donné que les osteéoclastes ne sont plus visibles au niveau des surfaces périostées au cours de l'état de carence, il semble que la vitamine A soit susceptible d'agir sur la differenciation de la cellule ostéogénique périostée en ostéoclaste.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der Knochenumbau wurde in Unterkiefer, Präsphenoid und Femur von 4 Gruppen von Kälbern verglichen. Diese erhielten während einer Zeitspanne von 16 Wochen verschiedene Vitamin A-Mengen (2 Vitamin A-Mangel- und 2 Kontrollgruppen). Ferner wurde das endochondrale Wachstum grob gemessen. Die Resultate ergaben eine Veränderung des Umbaus von defizienten Knochen wegen der mangelhaften subperiostalen Resorption, die oft durch Wachstum ersetzt wurde. Jene periostalen Oberflächen, wo die Resorption für einen normalen Umbau nicht erforderlicht ist, wurden durch den Vitamin A-Mangel nur wenig beeinflußt. Die Tatsache, daß die Osteoklasten bei Vitamin A-Mangel von den periostalen Oberflächen verschwinden, läßt vermuten, daß Vitamin A die Fähigkeit der periostalen Stammzellen, sich zu Osteoklasten zu differenzieren, beeinflußt.
    Notes: Abstract The drift patterns of the mandible, presphenoid, and femur were compared in calves fed graded levels (2 deficient, 2 control) of vitamin A for 16 weeks. In addition, gross measurements of endochondral growth were recorded. The results indicated that drift of deficient bones was altered because subperiosteal resorption failed and was often replaced by growth. On those periosteal surfaces where resorption was not required for normal modeling, little effect was found due to treatment. In light of the evidence that osteoclasts disappear from the periosteal surfaces during deficiency, it is suggested that vitamin A affects the ability of the periosteal progenitor cell to differentiate as an osteoclast.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Lors d'essais précédents, nous avons montré que le pyrophosphate minéral (PPi) inhibe in vitro la dissolution de cristaux d'hydroxyapatite et nous avons suggéré que le PPi pourrait être un régulateur physiologique de la résorption osseuse. Dans ce travail, nous avons cherché si le PPi ainsi que d'autres produits phosphorés ont une action inhibitrice sur la résorption osseuse induite par l'hormone parathyroïdienne dans des calottes craniennes de souris et sur l'augmentation du calcium plasmatique induite par l'hormone parathyroïdienne chez des rats thyroparathyroïdectomisés maintenus en régime déficient en calcium. Ni l'orthophosphate, ni le pyrophosphate, ni les polyphosphates, ni deux phosphates polymérisés, inhibiteurs des phosphatases, n'ont inhibé la résorption des calottes craniennes, ni l'augmentation du calcium plasmatique. Par contre, certains phosphonates, contenant la liaison P-C-P, ont réduit la dissolution in vitro de cristaux d'hydroxyapatite et inhibé la résorption osseuse en culture de tissus à une concentration aussi faible que 1,6×10−6 molaire. Certains diphosphonates ont inhibé également l'augmentation du calcium plasmatique chez des rats thyroparathyroïdectomisés. La différence d'activité des produits contenant la liaison P-O-P ou P-C-P peut être attribuée à une plus grande résistance des derniers à une hydrolyse chimique ou enzymatique. Les phosphonates peuvent servier de modèle pour étudier l'action du PPi endogène de l'os. Ils peuvent également être utiles pour éclaircir le mécanisme de la formation et de la destruction osseuse et pourraient jouer un rôle dans la thérapie des maladies présentant une résorption osseuse accrue.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Frühere Untersuchungen zeigten, daß anorganisches Pyrophosphat (PPi) die Auflösung von Hydroxyapatit-Kristallenin vitro hemmt; es wurde vorgeschlagen, daß PPi physiologisch die Knochenresorption regulieren könnte. Bei diesem Versuch wurden PPi und andere Phosphatderivate auf ihre Eignung geprüft, die Knochenresorption zu hemmen, welche an Mäusecalvarien durch Parathormon hervorgerufen wurde; ebenso wurde abgeklärt, ob diese Substanzen in thyroparathyreoidektomierten, auf calciumarmer Diät gehaltenen Ratten in der Lage waren, den durch Parathormongaben verursachten Blutcalciumanstieg zu hemmen. Weder Orthophosphat, noch Pyrophosphat, Polyphosphat und zwei polymere Phosphatinhibitoren der Phosphatasen konnten die Resorption von Calvarien oder den Anstieg des Plasmacalciums hemmen. Dagegen verzögerten verschiedene Phosphonate mit P-C-P-Bindungen die Auflösung von Hydroxyapatitin vitro und hemmten dazu in so tiefen Konzentrationen wie 1,6×10−6M die Knochenresorption in der Gewebezucht. Einige Diphosphonate hemmten auch den Plasmacalciumanstieg bei thyroparathyreoidektomierten Ratten. Eine Ursache der unterschiedlichen Wirksamkeit von Substanzen, welche P-O-P- oder P-C-P-Bindungen enthalten, kann darin liegen, daß die letztgenannten einen größeren Widerstand gegenüber chemischer und enzymatischer Hydrolyse entgegenbringen. Phosphonate könnten als Model für die Wirkung des endogenen PPi im Knochen dienen und zudem zur Erläuterung der Mechanismen von Knochenbildung und-resorption nützlich sein; sie könnten auch zur Therapie jener Krankheiten, die eine erhöhte Knochenresorption zur Folge haben, herangezogen werden.
    Notes: Abstract Earlier studies have shown that inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) inhibits the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystalsin vitro and it has been suggested that PPi might be a physiological regulator of bone resorption. In this study PP1 and other phosphate compounds have been tested for their ability to inhibit bone resorption induced by parathyroid hormone in mouse calvaria and to inhibit the rise in plasma calcium induced by parathyroid hormone in thyroparathyroidectomised rats on a low calcium diet. Orthophosphate, pyrophosphate, polyphosphate and two polymeric phosphate inhibitors of phosphatases did not inhibit the resorption of calvaria or the rise in plasma calcium. In contrast, several phosphonates containing P-C-P bonds retarded the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystalsin vitro, and, at concentrations down to 1.6×10−6M, inhibited bone resorption in tissue culture. Some diphosphonates also inhibited the rise in plasma calcium in thyroparathyroidectomised rats. One reason for the difference between the effects of compounds containing P-O-P and P-C-P bonds may be related to the greater resistance of the latter to chemical and enzymic hydrolysis. Phosphonates may provide a model for the effect of endogenous PP1 in bone, and might be of use in elucidating provide a model for the effect of endogenous PP1 in bone, and might be of use in elucidating mechanisms of bone formation and resorption and in the therapy of diseases that involve increased resorption of bone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une structure périodique, formée de fines striations, a pu être observée au niveau des cristaux d'apatite sous le microscope électronique. Ces strations peuvent s'expliquer comme des projections de plans d'atomes ou de molécules sur le plan image, dont la périodicité est égale à la distance entre ces plans dans la maille cristalline. Des études antérieures indiquent une périodicité de 8.2 Å au niveau de cristaux hexagonaux d'émail de jeunes rats, constituée par la résolution des plans 100 de la maille cristalline de l'apatite. Au cours de cette étude, des striations ont pu être mises en évidence au niveau de l'émail, de la dentine, du cément et de l'os humain. Lorsque le faisceau incident d'électrons est parallèle à l'axe c, les trois types de plans équivalents, parallèles à cet axe, peuvent être mis en évidence simultanément. Même les cristaux de forme externe inhabituelle présentent une ultrastructure comportant une série de lignes droites. Des altérations dans les striations, indiquant une disloocation on un défaut d'alignement dans la maille cristalline, sont parfois notées en particulier près de la ligne médiane des cristaux. Des variations de taille et de forme des cristaux et des défauts de maille cristalline ont pu être démontrés au niveau de cristaux individuels. La cristallinité des apatites d'os et de dents peut être liée à l'ultrastructure des tissues normaux et pathologiques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Im Elektronenmikroskop wird ein sich wiederholendes Muster von winzigen Furchungen innerhalb von Hydroxyapatitkristallen beobachtet. Dieses Randmuster läßt sich als Projektionen von Atom- oder Molekülebenen auf die Bildebene erklären, wobei die Periodizität derjenigen der Abstände zwischen diesen Ebenen im Kristallgitter entspricht. Frühere Untersuchungen ergaben ein Muster mit einer Periodizität von 8.2 Å in hexagonalen Kristallen vom Schmelz junger Ratten; dies stellt die Zerlegung in die 100 Ebenen des Hydroxyapatitkristallgitters dar. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurden in Kristallen von menschlichem Schmelz, Dentin, Zement und Knochengewebe Randmuster nachgewiesen. Wenn der einfallende Elektronenstrahl parallel zurc-Achse ist, können die 3 Gruppen von gleichwertigen Gitterebenen, welche parallel zu dieser Achse liegen, gleichzeitig zerlegt werden. Sogar Kristalle mit ungewöhnlicher äußerer Form zeigen eine Substruktur, welche aus Anordnungen von geraden Linien besteht. Defekte im Randmuster, welche Verschiebungen oder Aufbaufehler im Kristallgitter andeuteten, wurden gelegentlich beobachtet, vor allem gegen die Mittellinie der Kristalle. Variationen in der Kristallgröße und-form und das Vorkommen von Gitterdefekten innerhalb einzelner Apatitkristalle, konnten gezeigt werden. Die Kristallinität von Knochen- und Zahnapatiten steht in einer Wechselbeziehung zur feinen Struktur der Gewebe unter normalen und pathologischen Bedingungen.
    Notes: Abstract In the electron microscope, a repeating pattern of minute striations has been observed within hydroxapatite crystals. This fringe pattern can be explained as projections of planes of atoms or molecules on the image plane with a periodicity equal to the spacing between these planes in the crystal lattice. Previous studies have reported a pattern of 8.2 Å repeat periods in hexagonal crystals of young rat enamel, representing the resolution of the 100 planes of the hydroxyapatite crystal lattice. In the present study, fringe patterns were demonstrated in crystals of human enamel, dentin, cementum, and bone tissue. When the incident electron beam was parallel to thec axis, the three sets of equivalent lattice planes parallel to this axis could be resolved simultaneously. Even those crystals which had an unusual external form showed a substructure that consisted of arrays of straight lines. Defects of the fringe pattern indicating dislocations or stacking faults in the crystal lattice were occasionally observed, in particular near the midline of the crystals. Thus, it appears possible to demonstrate visually not only variations in crystal size and shape but also the presence of lattice defects within individual apatite crystals. By high resolution electron microscopy it may prove possible to correlate the crystallinity of bone and tooth apatites to the fine structure of these tissues in normal and pathological conditions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'ultrastructure des ostéocytes et de la matrice osseuse adjacente a des été étudiée au niveau maxillaires de jeunes rats, après décalcification à l'E.D.T.A. Les événements caractéristiques du cycle d'évolution de la cellule et ses effets sur la substance osseuse péricellulaire, peuvent être groupés en 3 stades: 1. La période de formation, pendant laquelle l'ostéocyte, analogue à l'ostéoblaste, montre, cependant, une diminution progressive en ergastoplasme et une réduction de l'appareil de Golgi. 2. La phase de résorption (ostéolyse ostéocytaire) caractérisée par l'apparition des lysosomes et leur activité, provoquant un élargissement de la lacune, où s'accumule du matériel fibrillaire et floconneux. 3. La dégénérescence éventuelle et la mort de la cellule. Une régénérescence cellulaire (“ostéoplasie”) n'a pas été observée.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Feinstruktur der Osteozyten und der unmittelbar angelagerten Knochenmatrix wurde an den Kiefern junger mit EDTA demineralisierten Ratten untersucht. Die Ereignisse, welche den Lebenszyklus der Zelle und ihre Wirkung auf die pericelluläre Knochensubstanz markieren, wurden in 3 Phasen eingeteilt: 1. die bildende Periode, während welcher der Osteocyt dem Osteoblasten gleicht, jedoch eine stufenweise Abnahme der Menge von endoplasmatischem Reticulum und in der Größe des Golgi-Apparates zeigt; 2. der Resorptionsbeginn (Osteozyten-Osteolyse), welcher durch eine weitere Abnahme der sekretorischen Organellen und das zackige Aussehen der perilacunären Grenze charakterisiert ist; 3. schließlich die Degeneration und der Tod der Zelle. Der Nachweis einer Regeneration („Osteoplasie”) konnte nicht erbracht werden.
    Notes: Abstract The fine structure of the osteocytes and of the immediately adjacent bone matrix has been studied in the jaws of young rats demineralized with EDTA. The events marking the life cycle of the cell and their effects on the pericellular bone substance have been grouped into 3 phases. 1. The formative period, where the osteocyte resembles an osteoblast but shows a gradual decrease in the amount of endoplasmic reticulum and in the size of the Golgi complex. 2. The beginning of resorption (osteocytic osteolysis) which is characterized by a further decrease of the secretory organelles and the jagged appearance of the perilacunar border. Later in this phase there is further development and activity of the lysosomes resulting in increased widening of the lacuna and accumulation in the lacuna of fibrillar and flocculent material. 3. The eventual degeneration and death of the cell. No evidence of regeneration (“osteoplasia”) has been observed.

Les extrémités proximales de l'humérus et les extrémités distales des fémurs sont homogénéisées dans un tampon barbital (7.5 mM) à pH 7.4. L'activité de la pyrophosphatase extraite a des pH optimaux acide et alcalin.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die enzymatische Hydrolyse von Pyrophosphat und Phosphatestern wurde an Knochenextrakten von jungen Kaninchen untersucht. Proximale Humerus- und distale Femurteile wurden in Barbitalpuffer (7.5 mM) bei einem pH von 7,4 homogenisiert. Die somit extrahierte Pyrophosphataseaktivität hatte ein saures und ein alkalisches pH-Optimum. Die saure Pyrophosphataseaktivität bei pH=5,0 blieb durch Magnesiumzusatz bis zu einer Konzentration von 3 mM unbeeinflußt und wurde durch einen Überschuß dieses Ions inhibiert. Beide Pyrophosphataseaktivitäten bei pH 5,0 sowie bei pH 7,4 wurden durch Fluoride inhibiert. Die Michaeliskonstante der Pyrophosphatase mit maximaler Aktivität bei pH=5,0 betrug 1,4·10−3M. Wenn der Knochenextrakt durch eine Sephadex G-200-Säule gegeben und die Kolonne anschließend mit einem Barbitalpuffer (7.5 mM) bei pH 7,4 mit Zusatz von 1% Natriumchlorid eluiert wurde, konnten die beiden Pyrophosphataseaktivitäten getrennt werden; diejenige mit einem Aktivitätsoptimum bei pH 5,0 zeigte ebenfalls die Aktivität einer sauren Phosphatase. Die Resultate der Aktivitätsbestimmung der beiden Pyrophosphatasen und der alkalischen Phosphatase in Kaninchenknochen in der Wachstumsperiode zwischen 5 und 60 Tagen werden mitgeteilt.
    Notes: Abstract A study was conducted of the enzymatic hydrolysis of pyrophosphate and ester phosphates by extracts of bones of young rabbits. The proximal ends of humeri and distal ends of femurs were homogenized in barbital buffer (7.5 mM) at pH 7.4. The extracted pyrophosphatase activity had acid and alkaline pH optima. The acid pyrophosphatase activity at pH 5.0 was independent of magnesium up to a concentration of 3 mM and was inhibited by an excess of this ion. Pyrophosphatase activities at both pH 5.0 and 7.4 were inhibited by fluoride. The Michaelis constant of pyrophosphatase with pH 5.0 optimum activity was 1.4×10−3 M. The bone extract, when loaded on a column of Sephadex G-200 and eluted with barbital buffer (7.5 mM) at pH 7.4 containing 1% sodium chloride, allowed a separation of the two pyrophosphatase activities; that at pH 5.0 optimum activity was associated with acid phosphatase activity. Results of experiments of the two pyrophosphatase activities and alkaline phosphatase in bones of rabbits as they aged from 5 to 60 days are presented.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'objet de ce travail est de déterminer le rapport existant entre une force compressive et la densité osseuse des vertèbres humaines, ainsi que le rapport entre l'orientation des travées et la force de compression et enfin les effets du degré de charge sur la force compressive. Ce travail est effectué sur 71 échantillons prélevés au cours de 23 autopsies. Les densités sont déterminées et 2 types de densités sont calculées: 1. la densité apparente, en poids humide, divisée par le volume total de l'échantillon et 2. la densité réelle, en poids humide, divisée par le volume de la matrice osseuse, déterminé par le déplacement de l'eau. Des mesures de tests de compression sont effectuées sur des échantillons frais en utilisant une machine à tester les matériaux, de type Instron, sous des charges de déformation déterminées. Les résultats indiquent un rapport hautement significatif entre la densité apparente et la force de compression. Des rapports similaires sont trouvés entre le poids sec par volume total d'échantillon et le poids de cendre par volume total d'échantillon et la force compressive. Larsque la densité apparente augmente, la force compressive de l'échantillon diminue. Une régression négative entre la densité réelle et la force compressive est observée dans l'une des séries expérimentales de ce travail, où lorsque la densité de la matrice osseuse augmente, la force de compression de l'échantillon décroit. Ce rapport n'est pas significatif dans les deux autres séries expérimentales. La force de l'os vertébral est significativement plus élevée le long de l'axe supéro-inférieur ou axe vertical que le long des deux autres directions. Certains échantillons présentent une capacité significativement plus élevée de résistance à la compression, lorsque la charge de déformation est de 1 cm par minute, que lorsqu'elle est de 0,01 cm par minute.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Das Ziel dieser Untersuchung war, den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Widerstand gegen Kompression und der Dichte menschlicher Wirbel, den Zusammenhang zwischen der Anordnung der Trabekel und dem Kompressionswiderstand sowie die Auswirkung von der Belastung auf den Kompressionswiderstand festzustellen. Insgesamt wurden bei 23 Autopsien 71 Proben entnommen und untersucht. Es wurden Dichtebestimmungen vorgenommen und zwei verschiedene Dichten errechnet: 1. die scheinbare Dichte, bestimmt aus dem Naßgewicht dividiert durch das Gesamtprobenvolumen; 2. die effektive Dichte, bestimmt aus dem Naßgewicht dividiert durch das Volumen der Knochenmatrix, welches mittels Wasserverdrängung festgestellt werden konnte. An frischen Proben wurden Test-Druckmessungen bei verschiedenen bekannten Deformationsgraden mittels eines Instron-Materialprüfgerätes durchgeführt. Die Resultate ergaben eine hochsignifikante Beziehung zwischen der scheinbaren Dichte und dem Widerstand gegen Kompression. Gleiche Beziehungen fanden sich zwischen dem Kompressionswiderstand einerseits und dem Trockengewicht sowie Aschegewicht andererseits, beide auf das Gesamtprobenvolumen bezogen. Bei Zunahme der scheinbaren Dichte nahm der Kompressionswiderstand der Probe ab. Eine negative Regression zwischen effektiver Dichte und Kompressions-widerstand wurde in einer der Versuchsreihen dieser Experimente gefunden, wo bei zunehmender Dichte der Knochenmatrix der Kompressionswiderstand der Proben abnahm. Diese Beziehung war in den andern beiden Versuchsreihen nicht signifikant. Der Widerstand der Wirbelkörper war entlang der vertikalen Achse signifikant höher als in den andern beiden Richtungen. Bei einem Deformationsgrad von 1 cm/min zeigten die Proben eine signifikant höhere Widerstandskraft als bei einem solchen von 0,01 cm/min.
    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relation between compressive strength and density of human vertebral bone, the relation between trabecular orientation and compressive strength, and the effects of the strain rate on compressive strength. A total of 71 samples obtained at 23 post mortem examinations were investigated. Density determinations were made and two different densities were calculated: (1) the apparent density as wet weight divided by the total sample volume; and (2) real density as wet weight divided by the volume of bone matrix determined by water displacement. Compression test measurements were made on the fresh samples using an Instron materials testing machine at controlled deformation rates. The results indicated a highly significant relation between apparent density and compressive strength. Similar relations were found between dry weight per total sample volume and ash weight per total sample volume and compressive strength. As the apparent density increased, the compressive strength of the sample decreased. A negative regression between real density and compressive strength was found in one of the experimental series of this investigation where, as the density of the bone matrix increased the compressive strength of the sample decreased. This relation was not significant in the other two experimental series. The strength of vertebral bone was significantly higher along the superior-inferior axis or vertical axis than along the two other directions. Samples showed a significantly greater ability to withstand compression when the deformation rate was 1 cm per minute than they did when the rate was 0.01 cm per minute.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les phospholipides neutres, tels que la sphingomyéline, la lécithine et la phosphatidyléthanolamine, sont les phosphatides principaux de l'os compact bovin. Ces lipides constituent plus de 90% des phospholipides de l'os, avant déminéralisation, et plus de 60% des phosphatides totaux extraits de ce tissu. Après déminéralisation, les solvants lipidiques neutres extraient des phospholipides neutres et acides de la matrice osseuse. Le traitement final de la matrice osseuse avec un mélange de solvants acides permet de récupérer une faible quantité de phosphatides acides et neutres. Pour expliquer la nécessité d'une déminéralisation au cours de l'extraction lipidique, il est possible que les lipides de l'extrait, obtenu après déminéralisation. soient liés à la phase minérale de l'os. Afin d'exclure la possiblité que cette extraction soit dûe simplement aux cristaux d'apatite, pouvant agir comme obstacle à la diffusion du solvant, l'effet de l'extraction lipidique sur des fractions de particules osseuses de diverses tailles a été étudié. La composition des extraits lipidiques n'est pas liée à la taille des particules: le minéral osseux ne parait done pas constituer un obstacle au passage des solvants lipidiques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die neutralen Phospholipide Sphingomyelin, Lecithin und Phosphatidyläthanolamin sind die wichtigsten Phosphatide des kompakten Rinderknochens. Zusammengenommen machen diese Lipide über 90% der Phospholipide, welche vor der Demineralisation dem Knochen entzogen worden sind und über 60% der aus diesem Gewebe extrahierten totalen Phosphatide aus. Nach der Demineralisation konnten mit neutralen Lösungsmitteln für Lipide ein weiterer Anteil an neutralen und eine beträchtliche Menge an sauren Phospholipiden aus der Knochenmatrix extrahiert werden. Am Schluß wurde die Knochenmatrix mit einem angesäuerten Lösungsmittelgemisch behandelt, und es konnte eine kleine Menge saurer sowie neutraler Phosphatide aus dem Gewebe extrahiert werden. In Anbetracht der notwendigen Demineralisierung bei der Lipidextraktion wurde vorgeschlagen, daß die Lipide aus dem nach Demineralisation gewonnenen Extrakt an die Mineralphase des Knochens gebunden sind. Um die Möglichkeit auszuschließen, daß dieser Extrakt lediglich durch die Apatit-Kristalle bedingt ist, die die Diffusion des Lösungsmittels verhindern, wurde die Wirkung der Lipidextraktion auf Knochenpulver verschiedener Partikelgrößen geprüft. Jedoch besteht keine Beziehung zwischen der Zusammensetzung des Lipidextraktes und der Größe der Partikel. Daraus folgt, daß das Knochenmineral den Durchgang der Lipidextraktionsmittel in das Gewebe nicht verhindert.
    Notes: Abstract The neutral phospholipids sphingomyelin, lecithin and phosphatidylethanolamine were the principal phosphatides of compact bovine bone. Together, these lipids accounted for over 90% of the phospholipids removed from bone, prior to demineralization, and for over 60% of the total phosphatides extracted from this tissue. Following demineralization, neutral lipid solvents removed a further quantity of neutral, and a considerable number of acidic, phospholipids from the bone matrix. A final treatment of the bone matrix with an acidified solvent mixture removed a small number of acidic, as well as neutral, phosphatides from the tissue. To account for the necessity of the demineralization step in the lipid extraction procedure, it was suggested that lipids of the post-demineralized extract were bound to the mineral phase of bone. To exclude the possibility that this extract was merely due to the apatite crystallites acting as a solvent diffusion barrier, the effect of the lipid extraction of bone of different particle size was examined. However, it was found that the composition of the lipid extracts was not related to the particle area; hence, it was inferred that the bone mineral was not obstructing the passage of the lipid extractants in the tissue.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets des androgènes (déhydroépiandrostérone et testostérone) sur le métabolisme des hydrates de carbone ont été étudiés en utilisant deux modèles expérimentaux. Le premier fait appel à la culturein vitro d'os embryonnaires d'oiseaux. Dans le deuxième modèle, on utilise des os non embryonnaires de mammifères, en cours d'ossification enchondralein vivo. Dans les deux cas, on note une augmentation de l'activité de la glucose-6-phosphate déhydrogénase et une oxydation différente de la glucose-1-14C et glucose-6-14C. Ces faits indiquent un changement dans le métabolisme du glucose allant vers la voie oxydative directe. En plus, le traitement provoque une hyperplasie de la couche hypertrophique dans l'épiphyse osseuse chez les souris prépubères.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Wirkungen von Androgenen (Dehydroepiandrosteron und Testosteron) auf den Kohlenhydratumsatz von Knochen mittels 2 experimenteller Modelle untersucht: einerseits anin vitro gezüchteten Bindegewebsknochen von Hühnerembryonen und andererseitsin vivo an nichtembryonalen Säugetierknochen mit endochondraler Ossifikation. In beiden Modellen läßt die Aktivitätszunahme der Glucose-6-phosphat-dehydrogenase und die unterschiedliche Oxydation von Glucose-1-14C und Glucose-6-14C eine Verschiebung des Glucosemetabolismus gegen den direkten oxydativen Abbau vermuten. Weiterhin erzeugt eine Behandlung mit diesen Hormonen eine Hyperplasie der hypertrophen Zellschicht an der Epiphysenplatte von vorpubertären Mäusen.
    Notes: Abstract An investigation on the effects of androgens (dehydroepiandrosterone and testosterone) on the carbohydrate metabolism of bone was carried out with two experimental models: avian embryonic membranous bone cultivatedin vitro, and mammal non-embryonic bone of endochondral ossificationin vivo. In both models, the increase in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and the differential oxidation of glucose-1-14C and glucose-6-14C suggest a shift in glucose metabolism toward the direct oxidative pathway. In addition, treatment with these hormones produces hyperplasia of the hypertrophic cell layer at the epiphyseal plate of prepubertal mice.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La patte arrière gauche de trente rattes Sprague-Dawley a été immobilisée par une attelle plâtrée. Dix rattes témoins ont été utilisées (groupe A): les 30 rattes plâtrées ont été réparties en 4 groupes. Le groupe B n'a pas reçu de traitement. Le groupe C a reçu, par injection sous-cutanée quotidienne, 50 MRC mU de calcitonine (préparée par les auteurs) dans 5% de gélatine. Le groupe D a reçu 5% de gélatine. Le groupe E a reçu 50 MRC mU de calcitonine (Ciba), dans 5% de gélatine par jour, en sous-cutanée. Après 6 jours, les fémurs et tibias ont été pesés, radiographiés et étudiés histologiquement. Les os du groupe A sont normaux. Les os des groupes B, C, D et E présentent une ostéoporose d'immobilisation du coté gauche, avec diminution de l'os trabéculaire, sans traduction radiologique. Le traitement à la calcitonine n'a pas inhibé l'ostéoporose. La pression exercée par les attelles plâtrées a induit une apposition périostée, au niveau de quelques tibias. Après traitement à la calcitonine, une apposition augmentée a été observée au niveau des fémurs et tibias. La gélatine, seule, n'a pas eu d'effet. Bien que la calcitonine n'ait pas agi sur l'ostéoporose d'immobilisation, elle semble pourtant favoriser les processus ostéogéniques provoqués par d'autres mécanismes.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung 30 weibliche Sprague-Dawley-Ratten erhielten zur Immobilisation der linken hinteren Extremität einen Gipsverband. Die Tiere wurden in folgende 4 Gruppen unterteilt: B) keine Therapie. C) 50 MRC mE Calcitonin (eigene Präparation) in 5% Gelatine täglich s.c. D) Lösungsmittel in 5% Gelatine täglich s.c. E) 50 MRC mE Calcitonin (Ciba) in 5% Gelatine täglich s.c. Zusätzlich diente eine Gruppe ohne Gipsverband sowie ohne Therapie als Kontrolle (A). Nach 6 Wochen Versuchsdauer wurden die Femora und Tibiae geröntgt, gewogen und histologisch untersucht. In der Kontrollgruppe(A) bestand kein Unterschied zwischen rechter und linker Seite. In den Gruppen B, C, D und E hatte sich eine deutliche Immobilisationsosteoporose entwickelt (Rarefizierung der Spongiosa des Femurhalses), die röntgenologisch nicht nachgewiesen werden konnte. Die Therapie mit Calcitonin konnte diese Immobilisationsatrophie nicht verhindern. Der mechanische Reiz des Gibsverbandes erzeugte eine periostale Apposition in einigen Tibiae der Gruppen B und D. Nach Gabe von Calcitonin entwickelte sich diese periostale Neubildung in allen Femora und Tibiae der Gruppen C und E. Außerdem war das Ausmaß der Apposition unter Calcitonintherapie wesentlich größer. Das Lösungs-mittel allein hatte keinen Einfluß auf die beschriebenen Veränderungen. Calcitonin konnte die Entwicklung einer Immobilisationsosteoporose nicht verhindern, die Knochenneubildung nach Auslösung durch mechanische Einflüsse wurde dagegen wesentlich verstärkt.
    Notes: Abstract In thirty female Sprague-Dawley rats the left hind leg was immobilized with plaster casts. According to treatment they were divided into the following groups: A) Control, no casts. B) No treatment. C) 50 MRC mU calcitonin (own preparation) in 5% gelatin subcutaneously per day. D) Vehicle alone subcutaneously. E) 50 MRC mU calcitonin (Ciba) in 5% gelatin subcutaneously per day. In addition, untreated rats without casts served as control (group A). After 6 weeks the femora and tibiae were X-rayed, weighed and examined histologically. The bones of the left and right legs did not differ in control group A. In groups B, C, D, and E a disuse osteoporosis had developed in the left legs (rarefication of trabecular bone volume of femur neck) which could not be seen in X-rays. Calcitonin treatment did not prevent the development of the bone atrophy. However, the pressure of the plaster casts had induced a periosteal apposition in some tibiae, and under calcitonin treatment the extent of this new formation in all femora and tibiae was markedly increased. The vehicle alone was ineffective. It can be concluded that whereas calcitonin is without effect on disuse osteoporosis, it probably favours new bone formation which is induced by other mechanisms.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé De l'os spongieux humain est utilisé pour déterminer la viabilité de cellules osseuses après exposition, pendant un temps déterminé, à l'air et au sérum physiologique. La réaction de Feulgen, ainsi que la culture de tissus sont utilisées pour déterminer la viabilité des cellules osseuses. Il apparait qu'aucun ostéocyte ne survit après 30 minutes d'exposition à l'air et au sérum physiologique. Les cellules de la moëlle ne survivent pas à 2 heures d'exposition ö l'air, ou 6 heures d'exposition au sérum physiologique. Le nombre de cellules qui survivent après action de l'air et du sérum physiologique diminue progressivement en fonction de l'augmentation du temps d'exposition.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Poröser Knochen von Erwachsenen wurde zur Bestimmung der Überlebenszeit von Knochenzellen verwendet, nachdem er während bestimmter Zeiten der Luft oder physiologischer Kochsalzlösung ausgesetzt wurde. Um diese Überlebenszeit zu bestimmen, wurde die Feulgen-Reaktion gleichzeitig mit der Gewebekultur durchgeführt. Daraus läßt sich schließen, daß keine Osteocyten überleben, nachdem sie 30 min der Luft oder der Kochsalzlösung ausgesetzt waren. Markzellen überlebten nicht, wenn sie 2 Std der Luft oder 6 Std der Kochsalzlösung ausgesetzt waren. Die Anzahl überlebender Zellen nimmt ab, wenn die Dauer, während welcher sie der Luft oder der Kochsalzlösung ausgesetzt werden, zunimmt.
    Notes: Abstract Adult human cancellous bone was used to determine the viability of bone cells after timed exposure to air and saline. To determine the viability of the bone cells, the Feulgen reaction was used in conjunction with tissue culture. It is concluded that no osteocytes survived after 30 minutes exposure to air or saline. Marrow cells do not survive after 2 hours exposure to air, or 6 hours exposure to saline. The number of surviving cells after exposure to air or saline progressively diminishes as the time of exposure increases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des coupes de tibias d'animaux entiers et parathyroidectomisés sont étudiées histologiquement et histochimiquement pour préciser les effets de la parathyroidectomie sur l'os. Les épiphyses cartilagineuses proximales montrent uneaugmentation relative de matrice intercellulaire, une diminution en cellules, et une désorganisation de l'arrangement cellulaire. Le cartilage épiphysaire des rats parathyroidectomisés montre une matrice intercellulaire intensément PAS positive, contrairement aux affinités à l'alcian de la matrice des animaux témoins. Les travées diaphysaires des animaux parathyroidectomisés se colorent en rouge au PAS et contiennent de nombreux ilôts étendus de cartilage calcifié. En outre, le cartilage épiphysaire et les travées osseuses des animaux parathyroidectomisés se colorent moins intensément à la réaction de ninhydrine—Schiff que l'os des témoins. L'étude par les diverses colorations histochimiques, après parathyroidectomie, indique une altération des constituants collagène-protéine et mucopolysaccharide. Ces changements sont susceptibles de produire un trouble de la calcification de l'os.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Tibiaschnitte von Kontrollratten und von parathyreoidektomierten Ratten wurden histologisch und histochemisch untersucht, um die nach Parathyreoidektomie aufgetretenen Knochenveränderungen festzustellen. Der proximale Epiphysenknorpel von parathyreoidektomierten Ratten zeigte einerelative Zunahme der intracellulären Matrix, eine Abnahme des Zellgehaltes und eine Veränderung der zellulären Anordnung. Die Epiphysenknorpel der parathyeoidektomierten Ratten wiesen eine intensiv PAS-positive intracelluläre Matrix auf, im Gegensatz zur alcianophilen Reaktion der Matrix der Kontrolltiere. Die Diaphysen-Trabekel der parathyreoidektomierten Tiere ließen sich mit PAS rot färben und enthielten breite Zonen von verkalkten knorpeligen Kernen. Ferner ließen sich die Epiphysenknorpel und die Knochen-Trabekel von parathyreoidektomierten Tieren im Vergleich mit den Kontrolltieren weniger intensiv mit der Ninhydrin-Schiff-Reaktion färben. Die Resultate der verschiedenen histochemischen Reaktionen zeigten, daß die Parathyreoidektomie eine Veränderung der Protein-Mucopolysaccharide des Kollagens zur Folge hat. Diese neuen Bedingungen könnten eine Veränderung der Knochenverkalkung hervorrufen.
    Notes: Abstract Sections of the tibias from intact and from aparathyroid animals were examined histologically and histochemically to determine the changes in bone following parathyroidectomy. The proximal epiphyseal cartilages of parathyroidectomized rats showed arelative increase of intercellular matrix, decrease in cellularity, and disorganization of the cellular arrangement. The epiphyseal cartilages of the aparathyroid rats exhibited an intense PAS-positive intercellular matrix in contrast to the alcianophilic nature of the matrix from control animals. The diaphyseal trabeculae from aparathyroid animals stained red with PAS and contained wide regions of calcified cartilaginous cores. In addition, the epiphyseal cartilages and bone trabeculae from the parathyroidectomized animals stained less intensely to the ninhydrin-Schiff reaction than did the bone from the intact animal. The response to the various histochemical reactions indicated that following parathyroidectomy there was a change in the collagen-protein mucopolysaccharide components. This condition would produce an alteration in the calcification of bone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Du phosphate de calcium hydraté monohydrogéné est proposé comme précurseur logique dans la formation de l'hydroxyapatite et une théorie expliquant la formation d'apatiles défectueux, à contenu faible en calcium, est présentée. Les rapports structuraux entre le phosphate de calcium déhydraté monohydrogéné et l'hydroxyapatite indiquent que l'un ou l'autre de ces produits est susceptible de fournir l'édifice atomique nécessaire à la croissance épitaxique de l'un sur l'autre. La formation d'apatite parait être le résultat de deux processus différents au point de vue cinétique: la formation initiale rapide du phosphate de calcium dihydraté monohydrogéné amorphe et la formation lente consécutive d'hydroxyapatite du précipité initial. Les rapports Ca/P des phosphates de calcium, formés à partir des constituants de solution situés dans la région de la phase d'hydroxyapatite, en fonction du temps, permettent une composition variable du phosphate de calcium monohydrogéné dihydraté et de l'hydroxyapatite. Le calcium de phosphate hydraté ponohydrogéné parait être le cristal d'ensemencement nécessaire à la croissance de l'hydroxyapatite dans l'os et les dents à pH physiologique.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Hydriertes Calciummonohydrogenphosphat wird als die logische Vorstufe bei der Bildung von Hydroxyapatit vorgeschlagen, und eine vereinheitlichende Theorie für die Bildung von calciumarmen oder defizienten Apatiten wird vorgelegt. Strukturelle Beziehungen zwischen Dihydrocalciummonohydrogenphosphat und Hydroxyapatit zeigen, daß beide Substanzen die Atomanordnung für das epitaxiale Wachstum des einen auf dem anderen liefern können. Die Apatitbildung wird als die Summe von zwei Vorgängen verschiedener Geschwindigkeit dargelegt: die zu Beginn rasch vor sich gehende Bildung von amorphem Dihydrocalciumonohydrogenphosphat und die nachfolgende langsame Bildung von kristallinem Hydroxyapatit aus dem anfänglichen Niederschlag. Das Verhältnis als Zeitfunktion von Ca/P des Calciumphosphates, welches sich aus Lösungen bildet, deren Zusammensetzung im Gebiete liegt, wo das Hydroxyapatit in der stabilen Phase vorkommt, läßt vermuten, daß diese Calciumphosphate eine unterschiedliche Zusammensetzung von Dihydrocalciummonohydrogenphosphate und Hydroxyapatit haben. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Dihydrocalciummonohydrogenphosphat auf Grund der Bildungsgeschwindigkeit und Zusammensetzung des Calciumphosphates sowie der kristallographischen Werte ein notwendiger Nukleator für das Wachstum von Hydroxyapatit in Knochen und Zähnen bei einem physiologischen pH ist.
    Notes: Abstract Hydrated calcium monohydrogen phosphate is proposed as the logical precursor in the formation of hydroxyapatite and a unifying theory for the formation of low calcium, or defect apatites, is presented. Structural relationships between calcium monohydrogen phosphate dihydrate and hydroxyapatite indicate that either material can provide the atomic arrangment for the epitaxial growth of one on the other. The formation of apatite is presented as the summation of two rate processes: the initial fast formation of amorphous calcium monohydrogen phosphate dihydrate and the subsequent slow formation of crystalline hydroxyapatite from the initial precipitate. Ca/P ratios of calcium phosphates, formed from compositions in the phase region of hydroxyapatite as a function of time, suggest a varying composition of calcium monohydrogen phosphate dihydrate and hydroxyapatite. Hydrated calcium monohydrogen phosphate is proposed on the basis of rate and composition of calcium phosphate formed and on crystallographic data to be a necessary seed for growth of hydroxyapatite in bone and teeth at physiological pH.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le squelette vertébral de l'Anguille est formé d'os cellulaire: lamellaire compact ou spongieux, suivant les différentes parties de la vertèbre. Nous avons pu y mettre en évidence, chez des animaux physiologiquement normaux, les trois catégories de cellules caractéristiques de l'os des vertébrés supérieurs: ostéoblastes, osteocytes, ostéoclastes. Elles ont les mêmes fonctions que chez ces derniers, les ostéoblastes procèdent à l'élaboration du tissu osseux, alors que les ostéoclastes le détruisent; à cette résorption ostéoclastique s'ajoute une lyse périostéocytaire ou résorption périlacunaire. Les osteocytes, dans ce tissu, nous paraissent être des éléments actifs; néanmoins, leur nombre (par unité de surface) est très inférieur à celui trouvé chez les Mammifères. Le remaniement osseux résultant du jeu de l'apposition et de la résorption est important et comparable à celui existant chez l'Homme. L'os de l'Anguille est, à de nombreux points de vue, très voisin de celui des Mammifères; les Poissons n'ont pas de parathyroïdes en tant que telles mais ils sont pourvus d'autres glandes vraisemblablement impliquées dans la régulation phosphocalcique: corps ultimobranchial et corpuscules de Stannius. Notre but sera donc d'essayer de déterminer comment est réglé le métabolisme de l'os cellulaire des Téléostéens.
    Notes: Summary The vertebral skeleton of the eel consists of cellular bone, either lamellar or spongy, depending on different parts of the vertebra. In this osseous tissue we have found, in physiologically normal animals, three categories of caracteristic cells of the bone of higher vertebrates: osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts. They have the same functions as in higher vertebrates, osteoblasts form the bone while the osteoclasts which are to be found in “Howship's lacunae” destroy it. In addition, a perilacunar type of bone resorption or “osteocytic osteolysis” can be observed. In this bone, osteocytes seem to be active cells, but the concentration of osteocytes is decidedly lower than that to be found in Mammals. The osseous remodeling produced by apposition and resorption is of the same importance as in human bone. The bone of the eel, in many ways, closely resembles that of mammals. Teleost fish do not have parathyroid glands, but their phosphocalcic regulation seems to be facilitated by the action of two endocrine glands: Ultimobranchial body and the corpuscles of Stannius. The regulation of the cellular bone metabolism of Teleostean fishes is discussed.

    Notes: It is demonstrated that dicarboxylic acids of uniform lengths, obtained by degrading chain-folded polyethylene single crystals, can be converted to paraffins via the intermediate diiodide by means of the procedure of Barton et al. Thus we are now in the position of obtaining uniform paraffins of chain lengths longer than hitherto available for the study of the crystallization of oligomeric chains. Measurements of melting points and heats of fusion revealed major differences between the paraffins and the corresponding parent dicarboxylic acids. It follows that such measurements on the unmodified products of the nitric acid degradation cannot be used directly for the assessment of the chain traverse length and the degree of crystallinity. It was found further, that the intermediate diiodide is a sufficiently close approximation to the paraffin for the purposes just quoted.

    Notes: The theoretical justification for using M[η], or a similar quantity, as a universal calibration parameter in GPC is reviewed. The equation based on this parameter is applied to transform the primary calibration curve, obtained by means of polystyrene samples, into calibration curves for poly-α-methylstyrene, polypropylene, and linear polyethylene. The Mark-Houwink equations for these polymers, as they are used in the transformation, are discussed. The resulting GPC calibration curves are compared with molecular weights and peak elution volumes of fractionated poly-α-methylstyrene and polypropylene. The same comparison is made with samples of polypropylene and polyethylene having very broad molecular weight distributions. The agreement lies within experimental error.

    Notes: A discussion is given of the behavior of a mathematical model chosen to approximate conditions during precipitation chromatographic fractionation of polymer (Baker Williams fractionation). With only one molecular weight species of polymer a complete solution of the mathematical model was obtained. With more than one species it was necessary to use a computer solution. Curves showing the movement of polymer containing one and two species of polymer are given for a variety of conditions of operation. It was found that the degree of fractionation of polymer approaches a limiting value with increasing length of column. Under some conditions the degree of fractionation may go through a maximum with length of column. The equilibrating distance (distance of travel of the liquid phase required to establish equilibrium of polymer between the liquid and the bed) was found to be very important in determining the fractionation.

    Notes: Studies have been made on the dynamic and steady-shear melt rheology of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer and two of its salts obtained by partial neutralization with sodium and with calcium bases. Measurements were made with a Weissenberg rheogoniometer over a broad range of shear rates and frequency in the temperature interval mainly from 100 to 160°C. The temperature coefficients of dynamic and steady shear viscosity are evaluated at both constant shear rate and constant stress. Likewise, complex dynamic viscosities and apparent high steady-flow viscosities and intercompared at equivalent frequencies and shear rates. The un-ionized acid copolymer shows good correlation between the frequency dependence of the complex viscosity and the shear rate dependence of the apparent viscosity. This is not true for either the sodium salt or the calcium salt. These results are consistent with the two-phase structural model for these materials, i.e., a matrix of hydrocarbon in which are embedded ionic domains.

The viscosity of branched polymers falls more rapidly with dilution than that of linear polymers, i.e., branched polymers show increased response to plasticization. At least one instance is demonstrated in which the viscosity ratio ηbr/ηlin reverses from a value greater than unity to less than one in passing from dry polymer to rubber extended with relatively large quantities of oil.

    Notes: Normal stress and shear stress of concentrated polystyrene solutions in a chlorinated diphenyl were measured under steady flow and oscillatory shear flow in a Weissenberg rheogoniometer. The normal stress difference was observed to oscillate at double the frequency of the applied shear strain with amplitude proportional to the square of the applied amplitude, while the shear stress was found to oscillate at the same frequency with amplitude proportional to the applied amplitude. A theoretical relation between the displacement of the oscillatory normal stress difference from zero level and the dynamic modulus derived by Lodge and other investigators was confirmed experimentally, and the theoretical predictions of Coleman and Markovitz concerning the relation among steady-flow normal stress difference and dynamic modulus were also confirmed. However, the theoretical predictions of Lodge, of Spriggs, Huppler and Bird, and of Williams on the relation between the amplitude and phase of oscillatory normal stress and those of oscillatory shear stress did not agree with experimental results.

    Notes: A simple method of preparing thin uniform films of high polymers has been examined for growing single crystals from solution. Single crystals of polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1, polyacrylonitrile, and cellulose triacetate have been obtained by this method. Different stages of growth reveal different growth features that are also obtained from solutions of these polymers by changing temperature and concentration.

    Notes: The high degree of flexibility of blends containing minor amounts of partly crystalline copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate in paraffin wax seems to be a manifestation of some type of interaction. Low-angle x-ray diffraction of such blends showed a new long spacing intermediate in length between the polymer long spacing and the c axis length of the wax unit cell. This new long spacing appears to be a consequence of isomorphism involving cocrystallization of polymeric ethylene sequences and wax molecules. A lesser type of isomorphic interaction, epitaxy, occurs in polyethylene-wax blends: wax overgrows crystals of already crystallized polyethylene in the same orientation without a change in its c axial dimension.

    Notes: We have derived from the Eyring theory of non-Newtonian flow a yield condition which is valid for an arbitrary state of stress. Experimental data obtained in simple axial compression tests show the influence of the hydrostatic stress on the yielding of poly(vinyl chloride). This fact confirms the proposed condition and disproves the von Mises criterion. Tension-torsion tests performed on thin tubes lead to results which fit our condition fairly well. The pattern of Lüders' lines appearing on the surface of thin tubes subjected to simple tension, simple shear, and tension-torsion are parallel to the direction where the value of the normal stress is equal to the hydrostatic stress.

    Notes: The melting temperatures of homopolymers of poly(ethylene sebacate) possessing a most probable molecular weight distribution and ordered copolymers of ethylene sebacate/propylene adipate were studied by slow heating processes and by the analysis of the dependence of the melting temperature on the crystallization temperature utilizing rapid heating rates. For the ordered copolyesters, where the composition of the crystallizing co-units ranged from 0.8 to 0.2 mole fraction the latter method gave results which were similar to those that have been obtained for the other polymer systems that have been studied. Extrapolated equilibrium melting temperatures could be obtained in a straightforward manner and were found to be independent of the copolymer composition in accord with theoretical expectations. On the other hand, a unique set of results were obtained for the homopolymers. A plot of the relationship between the melting temperature and the crystallization temperature for all the molecular weights studied gave a slope close to unity. This made it operationally impossible to extrapolate to the equilibrium melting temperature for this system.

    Notes: An investigation of the internal motion in organosilicon polymers by wideline nuclear magnetic resonance has been extended to a pair of dimethylpolysilazanes crosslinked through trifunctional silicon. The data suggest that there is considerable internal motion in all silazanes at 77°K. Evidence is presented for the presence of C3 rotation of the methyl groups, as well as rotation or torsional oscillation of the Si(CH3)2 groups about the polymer backbone. Upon warming the NMR line is seen to narrow, and this is associated with the onset of additional motion, including chain translation and chain flexing or bending. Crosslinking through silicon increases the barrier to chain translation while decreasing the barrier to chain flexing or bending.

    Notes: Poly-2,5-distyrylpyrazine (poly-DSP) was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and measurements of dynamic viscoelastic and electrical properties. From DTA and TGA studies it was confirmed that poly-DSP melts at 321°C and depolymerizes rapidly to the monomer at temperatures between 335°C and 345°C in helium. The polymer is affected by oxygen above 200°C. The E′ value from dynamic viscoelasticity measurements on amorphous film is 2 × 1011 dyne/cm2 at room temperature. It decrease abruptly in the temperature range 140-150°C; but the net decrease of E′ within this temperature range is relatively small. The electrical properties of amorphous poly-DSP are characterized by a small temperature dependence of the dielectric constant between room temperature and 100°C. The dielectric loss tangent was observed to be small, and the dc conductivity was extremely small. It is concluded that rotation of the phenyl branches in the polymer occurs above -30°C and the glass transition occurs at about 150°C. These properties are discussed in some detail in relation to the polymer structure.

    Notes: Comonomer and stereosequence distributions in linear high polymers are considered from the point of view of the general theory of stationary random sequences. Although the discussion is centered about binary polymerizations which may be regarded as stationary Markov processes of low order, attention is paid to distinguish results valid for any stationary random process including stationary non-Markov processes from those special to a particular Markov process. Alternative derivations of copolymer composition equations are given along with a corrected version of a previously suggested scheme of relating conditional probabilities of different orders. The nature and relative merits of the several measures proposed in the literature to characterize comonomer and stereosequence distributions are also discussed in some detail.

    Notes: The dielectric behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride) is affected by orientation and crystal modification. The loss peak caused by molecular motion of the molecules in crystalline regions appears at about 70°C (110 Hz) (α1 absorption) for the α form, and at about 110°C (110 Hz) (α2 absorption) for the β form. Orientation significantly affects the magnitude of the β absorption which appears at about -40°C. The very high value of the dielectric constant for stretched film is believed to be due to the orientation effect. The γ absorption, which is assumed to be local-mode absorption, is not so much affected by orientation. An additional loss peak has been found at around 0°C in dynamic mechanical measurements, but the molecular mechanism is unknown.

    Notes: A dynamic method for investigating the mechanism of permeation and diffusion through polymers has been explored. The permeation cell consists of two compartments separated by the membrane. The permeant (gas, vapor, or liquid) is introduced into one compartment; a carrier gas (helium) flows at constant rate through the other and sweeps the permeant which diffuses through the membrane to the thermal conductivity detector. Both compartments are at atmospheric pressure; thus no or little membrane support is required, and leakage problems are minimal. Moreover, the same membrane can be used over a wide temperature range and for diverse permeants. The detector signal is at any instant proportional to the permeation rate. A simple mathematical formalism for deriving the diffusion coefficient from the transient permeation rates has been developed. The measured diffusion and permeability coefficients of CO2, O2, and N2 through low-density polyethylene closely agree with literature values. Permeation of hexane and benzene through polyethylene follows a complex diffusion law, and the rate depends on the thermal history of the system. The dynamic method is particularly suited to the study of transitions in polymers. Changes in permeation rates, usually occurring at transition points, can easily be discovered by slow temperature scanning of the system.

    Notes: Three transitions are detected dilatometrically when partially isotactic poly(propylene oxide) melts. One transition, the temperature of which is independent of the crystallization temperature over a wide range below 60°C, is ascribed to the melting of lamellar crystallites which are limited in thickness by the average isotactic sequence length alone. The other two transitions, the temperatures of which vary with the crystallization temperature, are ascribed to the melting of lamellar crystallites with thickness determined predominantly by three- and two-dimensional primary nucleation acts. The theory of Flory is adapted and applied quantitatively to the melting points of three crystalline fractions of poly(propylene oxide), obtained from a polymer produced via the zinc diethyl and water catalyst system. This method leads to a thermodynamic melting point of isotactic poly(propylene oxide) near 82°C.

    Notes: Characteristic markings of concentric bands are formed on the fracture surface of tensile specimens under certain loading conditions. The marking form in the fast crack growth region of the mirror area of fracture. Optical and electron optical microscope techniques have been used to study the morphology of the markings. It is shown that in this region the crack propagates along the interface between the craze, in which the crack nucleated, and the bulk material. The mackerel pattern is caused by the crack jumping from one craze-matrix interface to the other.

    Notes: Incorporation of plasticizers or other inert, liquid diluents causes a profound weakening of rubbers. The modulus of elasticity and tensile strength decrease approximately with the square of the gel fraction v0 of rubber which was present at the time of formation of the three-dimensional network. Equlibrium swelling of plasticized rubbers is well represented by v2m = kv0, where v2m is the volume fraction of rubber network in the swollen state, at equlibrium, and k a constant equal to v2m for the unplasticized rubber. This swelling law is independent of the way in which v0 is obtained; inert liquid diluents, comprising molecularly dispersed compounds, as well as suspensions of insoluble liquids, gases, and chemically inert, solid fillers yield the same relation. Further, it is independent of the chemical nature of solvent and rubber. It appears that also the mechanical properties of foams, liquid-filled foams, and plasticized elastomers containing the same volume fraction of network rubber are very similar.

    Notes: On axial extension of polymer melts at constant deformation rates, the development of high-elastic deformation is of predominant importance during the initial period. High-elastic deformation is accompanied by a rise in viscosity and in the modulus of high-elasticity and by retardation of the relaxation processes in the region of large relaxation times. At relatively low deformation rates, the rise in viscosity and high-elasticity modulus and the retardation of relaxation processes may give way to a decrease in viscosity and high-elasticity modulus and acceleration of relaxation processes, so that stationary flow regimes are attained. The transition from strain regimes with increasing viscosity and modulus of high elasticity to those with a decrease of these quantities corresponds to an increase in the rate of accumulation of irreversible deformation. Accordingly, a competing influence due to the orientation effect and to destruction of the network of intermolecular bonds becomes evident while stationary flow is being attained. The orientation effect must be responsible for the retardation of the relaxation processes, whereas rupture of the intermolecular network bonds results in structural relaxation accelerating relaxation processes. In contrast to shearing, during extension the orientation effect is of predominant importance. Hence in stationary flow regimes the viscosity may not only remain independent of the rate of strain, but even increase with it. In this case the contribution of the large relaxation times to the relaxation spectrum increases with increasing stress in stationary flow regimes. The fact that the longitudinal viscosity and the modulus of high elasticity are independent of the stress in stationary flow regimes does not guarantee linearity of the mechanical properties of the polymer in the prestationary stage of deformation when complex changes occur in its relaxation characteristics. At high deformation rates the viscosity and the modulus of high elasticity keep rising with increasing deformation until rupture occurs. Determination of the strength of polystyrene samples vitrified after extension showed that it is due not to the entire degree of extension, but only to the value of accumulated high-elastic deformation. The strength of the vitrified samples is to a first approximation independent of the rate at which the melt was extended.

    Notes: Dielectric relaxation data have been obtained for two ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers (containing about 4 mole-% methacrylic acid units and about 8 mole-% methacrylic acid units, respectively) and the lithium, sodium, and calcium salts prepared by partial neutralization of the polyacids. The frequency range employed was from 50 Hz to 10 kHz and the temperature range was from -130°C to 100°C. Attention is focused on three dielectric loss regions labeled β, β and α in order of increasing temperature. The β′ process (-10°C at 100 Hz in the salts only) correlates with a mechanical loss process previously reported and is attributed to microbrownian motion taking place in an amorphous hydrocarbon phase. The β′ process (20°C at 100 Hz) has also been observed mechanically and is attributed to the same mechanism as the β process. The higher temperature of this relaxation compared to the β relaxation is attributed to the presence of acid groups which form crosslinks composed of interchain hydrogen bonds. The α process (〉50°C at 100 Hz in the salts only) correlates with dielectric and NMR data previously reported for a sodium salt and is assigned to motions within ionic domains formed by the clustering of salt groups.

    Notes: Sedimentation equilibrium in the ultracentrifuge means that there is such a distribution of molecular species throughout the cell, that the centrifugal forces are balanced by differences in the activities. This provides a method for determination of the activities and the chemical potentials in polymer solutions which, in principle, is very simple and reliable. A complication is caused by polydispersity of the dissolved polymer. If one assumes that the interaction parameter depends on concentration and temperature, but not on molecular weight, it is possible to determine the chemical potential of polymer and solvent from the ultracentrifugal data. Experiments have been carried out on the systems polystyrene-toluene and polystyrene-cyclohexane at different temperatures and in the concentration range 0-80 wt-%. The results are expressed in the data for the chemical potential of the solvent, the number average chemical potential of the polymer and the interaction parameter χ.

    Notes: Several partially interpenetrating polymeric networks (IPN) were made by combining chemically different linear elastomers. The polymer combinations were deposited as films from aqueous emulsions made by mixing the individual emulsions in equal proportions. The films were crosslinked to form two superimposed networks. In two cases, the networks were cleanly separated by hydrolysis of one of the component networks to demonstrate that there was no chemical interaction between the polymers. Measurement of crosslink density showed that, in most cases, partial interpenetration does occur as evidenced by an effective crosslink density of the IPN's greater than the arithmetic mean of the crosslink densities of the component networks. The swelling ratios, densities, and stress-strain properties were determined. For one of the network combinations, a poly(urethane-urea) and a poly(butadiene-acrylonitrile), a series of IPN's varying in polymer composition was made. The swelling ratios and densities are close to the arithmetic means; however, both the tensile strength and crosslink density exhibit a maximum at about 70% poly(butadiene-acrylonitrile). The maximum tensile strength is actually significantly higher than that of either of the component polymers. The elongations all approach that of the poly(urethane-urea), the more extensible material, except for compositions approaching 100% poly(butadiene-acrylonitrile), which exhibit a very low extensibility.

    Notes: Characteristic wide-line proton magnetic resonance absorption spectra of a number of representative cellulose preparations have been obtained in the dry state and after addition of about 7% water. Line widths, second moments, spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation times have been determined. The second moment of the absorption curve of dry cellulose was found to correlate well with the crystalline fraction for most specimens. A technique is described for determining the number of water-cellulose protons exchanging relative to the number of cellulose protons not exchanging. The reduction in absorption line width observed when water is added to cellulose is shown to be quantitatively consistent with such a proton exchange phenomenon.

    Notes: The morphology of selenium has been studied in light of present concepts of crystallinity in crystalline organic polymers. Spherulitic crystallization and resultant morphology were examined as a function of temperature by transmission and replication electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and optical microscopy. Evidence is given for polymer chain folding during crystallization of trigonal selenium. Theoretical thermodynamic calculations presented yield several thermodynamic values including an equilibrium melting point of 219.2°C, a fold surface energy of 337 ergs/cm2 and a lateral surface energy of 9.8 ergs/cm2.

    Notes: Various procedures for universal calibration in gel-permeation chromatography with polystyrene gels are examined for polystyrene and polydimethylsiloxane fractions. For o-dichlorobenzene at 138°C, experimental intrinsic viscosity-molecular weight data show that the Mark-Houwink exponents are 0.70 and 0.57 for polystyrene and polydimethylsiloxane, respectively. In principle, this difference permits a distinction between the various polymer size parameters proposed for universal calibration. An interpretation of the experimental polydimethylsiloxane calibration for o-dichlorobenzene at 138°C requires a consideration of errors in average molecular weights and errors arising from the use of average molecular weight instead of peak molecular weight. When calibration procedures utilizing hydrodynamic volume and unperturbed dimensions are examined, the difference between them is comparable with experimental error. If the Flory-Fox viscosity expression is employed, the perturbed end-to-end distance (or radius of gyration) and the hydrodynamic volume give equivalent universal calibrations. The experimental data are sufficiently accurate to show that the perturbed dimension determined with the Ptitsyn-Eizner relation does not give an adequate universal calibration.

    Notes: Crystallization of compression-molded isotactic polypropylene and polyethylene is invariably spherulitic; generally, nucleation occurs randomly throughout the sample. In a special case where nucleation predominates at the surface, spherulitic growth centers become crowded and are forced to propagate unidirectionally into the bulk (transcrystallinity). Conditions for the formation of transcrystallinity have been investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The occurrence of transcrystallinity is attributed to heterogeneous nucleation induced at the mold surface. To be effective, the mold surface must have a nucleating efficiency equal to or greater than that of adventitious nuclei present in the polymer. As the crystallization temperature approaches the melting point, the activity of mold surfaces is found to increase leading invariably to transcrystalline formation. The degree of activity of various mold surfaces correlates with the known activity of specific dispersed nucleating agents having similar chemical structures. Contrary to claims in the literature, the surface energy of the mold surface and temperature gradients across the melt surface do not play a primary role in transcrystalline formation of polypropylene.

    Notes: The flow behavior of α,ω-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxanes, having a weight-average number-average molecular weight ratio of 1.1-1.2, was studied with a Cannon-Manning viscometer and an Instron rheometer. Comparison of the flow behavior of samples with narrow and broad molecular weight distributions indicated that the onset of non-Newtonian behavior occurred at a much higher shear rate for narrow-distribution polydimethylsiloxanes than for polydisperse polydimethylsiloxanes. A plot of reduced viscosity versus \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \dot \gamma \eta _0 {M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M T}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} T} $\end{document} gave two experimental master curves, one for polymer of narrow distribution and the other for polydisperse polymer. The experimental master curve obtained from the narrow-distribution polymer was found to fit the theoretical master curve derived from Graessley's entanglement theory. The viscosity-molecular weight relationship for the higher molecular weight polydimethylsiloxanes was found to be the same for both hydroxydimethylsilyl- and trimethylsilyl-endblocked polymers. However, at low molecular weight, the viscosity-molecular weight curve deviated from linearity because of the association of polydimethylsiloxanols, which apparently is not significant at higher molecular weights. The critical molecular weight of entanglement, Mc, was found to be about 30,000.

    Notes: It has been considered for some time that the presence of birefringence in an oriented polymer must affect the light-scattering behavior. Previous analyses of this phenomenon are restricted to single-particle scattering. A more complete theory of the effect of birefringence on the scattering of light from correlated systems is presented. The measured scattering intensity is shown to be dependent upon the optical properties of the sample as well as the experimental technique and conditions.

    Notes: The Fujita equation relating molecular weight distribution to concentration of solution subjected to centrifugal forces in equilibrium proved to be an improperly posed problem in the Hadamard sense. Application of Tikhonov's regularizing functions leads to a good approximate solution of Fujita's equation. Such functions have been applied to a monomodal and a bimodal molecular weight distribution, and approximate results have been computed.

    Notes: Electron-microscopic texture and physical properties of a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer obtained by casting from toluene, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl acetate, and methyl ethyl ketone are discussed. Two peaks are observed in the mechanical loss (tan delta;) curve at -70 and 100°C which are attributed to segmental motion of polybutadiene and polystyrene, respectively. The polybutadiene peak heights are in the order of solubility in the solvent used; the polystyrene peak heights are in converse order. In addition to these peaks, a third peak is observed at 10°C for specimens cast from ethyl acetate or methyl ethyl ketone. A transition corresponding to this peak is also noticed in thermal analysis. It is proposed that aggregation of styrene blocks is relatively incomplete in specimens cast from solution in poor solvents.

    Notes: Low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate) samples were crystallized isothermally at 120-245°C from both the amorphous state and the melt. Isothermal annealing of these polymers at 215°C provided polymers which exhibited multiple melting peaks in thermal analysis, referred to as form I and form II, as assigned by Bell and Dumbleton. In these samples the peak temperature of the form II melting endotherm and the average crystallite size are dependent on the temperature of initial crystallization. This result requires a mechanism for retaining some structural feature during the conversion from morphological form I to form II. DSC thermograms obtained at varying heating rates on samples showing only form II endotherms support the assignment of superheating as the cause of the shift to higher peak temperatures with increasing heating rate.

    Notes: The effect upon seeding behavior of adding well characterized fractions has been studied, so as to assess the technique as a measure of small amounts of high molecular weight. The material available to us restricted the study to fractions with comparatively low average molecular weights. Self-seeding is shown to be an extremely sensitive measure of high molecular weight tails. Knowledge of the molecular weights concerned enabled estimates to be made of the weight of molecules involved in seeding. Instability of seeds has been observed, and is explained in terms of a particular amorphous crystalline “equilibrium” within the seeds.

    Notes: Dilute solution parameters were determined for polymethylphenylsiloxamer fractions (5 × 104 〈 M 〈 1.5 × 106) in toluene, cyclohexane, and diisobutylamine (θ ≈ 30.4°C). The data are interpreted by the procedure suggested by Flory and Fox. Minor deviations from theory are noted. Polymers from both cis- and trans-cyclotrisiloxanes were investigated. The major portion of the work, however, was concentrated on fractions derived from the trans form. From the data obtained, a characteristic ratio of dimensions (r02/rof2)½ of 1.56 was determined. The hydrodynamic parameter Φ was determined to be (2.0 ± 0.3) × 1021. The appropriate model for the polymer is indicated to be the impermeable random coil with slight hindrance to rotation about backbone skeletal bonds.

    Notes: The adsorption of tritium-labeled sodium stearate and 35S-labeled sodium dodecylsulfate from aqueous solution on bent and on stretched polyethylene strips was directly measured. The amount of adsorption increased from 2.5 to 4.5 times on surfaces of various polyethylene samples stretched from 5.2 to 5.3 times the original length. For one sample, adsorption increased 8 and 2.5 times, respectively, on the convex and concave surfaces of a bent strip. Autoradiographs of the strips taken after adsorption revealed the appearance of both homogeneous and heterogeneous adsorption on the stretched surface of the polyethylene. The electron micrographs of the strips showed that many small fissures, about 1-5μ in length, formed on their surfaces after the strips were bent or stretched. Enhanced adsorption of the surface-active substance along these fissures was suggested. On the basis of these observations, it is proposed that in stretching or bending, fissures increase adsorption of the detergent, and the adsorption in turn promotes further development of fissures. Thus, bending and adsorption mutually promote the growth of fissures which finally result in failure of the polyethylene.

    Notes: The reduced specific viscosity of poly(methacrylic acid) has been studied in ethanol-0.002N HCI solvent mixtures as a function of polymer concentration, alcohol concentration, and temperature. In addition, experiments were performed at different HCI concentrations and with KCI instead of HCI. Both intrinsic viscosity and Huggins coefficient were shown to undergo unusually strong variations. Two minima and two maxima could be demonstrated in intrinsic viscosity. The Huggins coefficient seems to show corresponding variations. The first minimum in intrinsic viscosity indicates that the coil volume has collapsed almost to an Einstein sphere. In this region the Huggins coefficient is extremely large (of order 102) and is controlled by coil association. It was shown that several forms of intramolecular interaction must be assumed to be competing to account for this behavior. The presence of HCI, particularly in the preponderantly aqueous phase, is required to suppress the polyelectrolyte effect. It is found, however, that the behavior of the solutions at relatively high ethanol concentrations is more sensitive to HCI content than is that of highly aqueous solutions. KCI can be used to replace HCI over most of the range. Increase in temperature shifts the turning points of the curves to lower alcohol concentrations. Some evidence has been found that the association constant giving rise to dimers increase with rate of shear. The importance of poly(methacrylic acid) as a chemically simple model substance for various biopolymer effects is stressed.

    Notes: Growth rates of G of low-melting spherulites in fractions of trans-1,4-polyisoprene have been measured. The data were analyzed by use of an equation, ln G = ln G0 - ΔF*/RTc, valid at temperatures close to the equilibrium melting point. Plots of ln G against a function of the critical free energy of nucleation ΔF* result in a family of straight lines having a common intercept, ln G0, which is independent of molecular weight. The slope of these lines is a measure of the interfacial free energy of the crystallites and increases with the molecular weight, reflecting increasing irregularity in the structure of the semicrystalline mass. Comparison of growth rates of low-melting and high-melting trans-1,4-polyisoprene indicates that G0 does not, to a first approximation, depend on the nature of the crystals growing from the melt. The temperature at which spherulites of the two crystalline forms grow at equal rates has been calculated.

    Notes: The thermal expansion of a butadiene-styrene copolymer filled with carbon blacks differing tenfold in mean particle size (HAF and MT) was investigated. The glass transition was unaffected by MT and was raised only 0.2°C for every 10 parts per hundred by weight of polymer of HAF black added. The coefficient of expansion of the polymer component of the composite in the rubbery region was substantially unaffected by either carbon black, but decreased markedly with increasing black loading in the glassy state. These results suggest that free volume is not altered appreciably by the presence of the filler in the rubbery state, but expands with decreasing temperature below Tg. The latter effect is explained by dilatation due to stresses set up around filler particles, arising from differences in the expansion coefficients of filler and polymer, which are not relieved in the glassy state. The near invariability of Tg and of the rubbery fected by adsorption of polymer segments on the carbon black surface. A conservative rough estimate indicates that restriction of segmental motion is confined to a 30 Å layer around the particles in which Tg is elevated by only 10°C.

    Notes: The intrinsic viscosity of poly(methacrylic acid) has been studied in mixtures of 0.002N HCI and a series of aliphatic alcohols. The behavior found previously with ethanol is shown to apply in the case of admixture with methanol, n-propanol, and 1,2-ethanediol. The intrinsic viscosity first drops to a minimum and then increases sharply to a maximum. With ethanol and n-propanol the maximum is followed by another minimum and maximum. With methanol and 1,2-ethanediol this effect is absent or much smaller. Methanol and 1,2-ethanediol are equivalent, molecule for molecule, in their influence on the intrinsic viscosity. With ethanol and n-propanol there are in addition one and two shoulders, respectively, in the passage from the first minimum to the first maximum. Good correlation of the data is obtained if alcohol concentration is plotted as the mole fraction of carbon atoms per OH group (in the alcohol). The first maximum in particular was shown to correspond to the point where the number of water molecules per alcohol in the solvent mixture equals the number of C atoms per hydroxyl in the alcohol. The shoulders and first minima were found to correspond to other simple ratios. This behavior reflects changes in alcohol-water structure. The maximum in the case of ethanol was found to be the most pronounced and ethanol seems to possess optimal properties from this point of view.

    Notes: The dc conductivity of poly(sebacyl piperazine), a polyamide prepared from the secondary diamine piperazine, in which no N—H groups are present and no hydrogen bonding can occur, has been examined and compared with that of a normal 610 polyamide. The results obtained point clearly to the conduction in the 610 polyamide being electronic below about 100°C but probably involving protons as well as electrons above this temperature. This is largely consistent with the findings of earlier work and clarifies the nature of conduction below about 80°C as being almost certainly electronic where previously it was in doubt. A definite and sometimes marked hysteresis in the conductivity was observed with regard to raising and lowering the temperature of the polyamides. This is explained in terms of the space-charge polarization developed in the materials at higher temperatures and which becomes clearly evident in their dielectric behavior. This shows the importance of discharging specimens at a sufficiently high temperature before making conductivity measurements. The polarization is a bulk and not an electrode effect, and it will probably depend to a marked extent on the morphology of the polyamides.

    Notes: Measurements of the NMR second moment of a uniaxially oriented sample of polyethylene single crystals in the range of temperatures from -196°C to 130°C and its dependence on the alignment angle γ between the orientation axis (preferential direction of the molecular chains) and the NMR magnetic field are presented. The experimental results are discussed mainly with respect to the high temperature relaxation, called the α process, in polyethylene. They are compared to theoretical predictions made for a number of mechanisms of molecular motion in Part I of this work. Only one of the mechanisms considered is found to be in quantitative agreement with experiment, the mechanism here referred to as flip-flop motion. This consists of thermally activated rotational jumps of the crystalline chain segment between folds around its axis between two equilibrium sites in the lattice. Each rotational jump through 180° is accompanied by a shift of the molecule along its axis by one CH2 group. The discussion of the low-temperature relaxation of polyethylene, the γ process, is based partly on the above measurements and partly on measurements of second moments for unoriented polyethylene samples varying widely in morphology and noncrystalline content. The decrease of the second moment observed with these samples between -196°C and 20°C is taken as a measure of the intensity of the γ process. A linear correlation is found between the decrease in the second moment, designated ΔS, and the noncrystalline content, 1 - αm; this can be represented by ΔS = 1.4 + 22.1(1 - αm). It is shown that neither the crankshaft mechanism not the kink mechanism is able to account quantitatively for this result. The model of a chain end moving in a vacancy fails to adequately describe the angle dependence of ΔS in oriented polyethylene single crystals. The “sandwich model” of a polyethylene single crystal, in which the crystalline core is covered by noncrystalline surface layers, is in better agreement with observations.

    Notes: It is shown that the Hirai-Eyring model for the liquid state is capable of accurately describing the p, V, T behavior of liquid polymers in the temperature range over which measurements are now made, and below. Once the parameter choices necessary to accomplish the fit are made for a particular polymer, the excess thermodynamic functions (differences in properties, liquid less solid) are determined by the same parameters. Above the glass transition temperature Tg the volume, excess enthalpy, and square of the excess entropy are predicted by the model to be essentially linear with temperature, in agreement with experiment. Below Tg, these functions do not remain linear (as is usually assumed in extrapolating the equilibrium behavior to low temperatures), but instead they rapidly approach zero in a continuous way as the temperature is lowered. These remarks apply to glass-forming materials composed of small molecules, as well as to polymers. The “paradox” raised by Kauzmann is thus resolved, and the Gibbs-DiMarzio second-order transition appears to be unnecessary.

    Notes: We have measured the relaxation modulus in the temperature range 150-220°C of two samples of poly(vinyl chloride) resin with different molecular weights. The data were treated by the principle of reduced variables to yield composite curves. The shift factors (aT) when plotted against reciprocal temperature gave good straight lines from which apparent activation energies were obtained. An apparent activation energy of 50 kcal/mole was obtained for both samples. A relaxation spectrum for each resin was calculated from the relaxation modulus data. These spectra showed a marked molecular weight dependence. The spectra were in the range characteristic of the terminal zone of the entanglement plateau. Zero-shear-rate viscosities were obtained from the integration of relaxation modulus plots. From extrapolation of capillary viscosity data it is shown that the viscosity of the higher molecular weight resin used in this study does not approach its zero-shear value until shear rates less than 10-3 sec-1 are reached. The effect of supermolecular flow units is briefly discussed.

    Notes: An investigation of small-angle scattering produced by polarized light from stretched and annealed polymer systems containing spherulites yields information on the supermolecular transitions that occur during such treatment. A series of semicrystalline polymer systems (films, fibers) show that stretching leads to deformation of spherulites and subsequent transformation to an orientational supermolecular order. The size of the single element C2 of the supermolecular order in the direction of stretching, determined from the distance between the layer lines of the scattering pattern, is related to the diameter D0 of the initial spherulites by the relation C2 = KD0λs, where λ, is the draw ratio of the macrosystem and K is a parameter determining the deformability of the spherulites. For polyethylene at room temperature K is unity and for polychloroprene it is 1.2. Changes of C2 after annealing and restretching of the systems also obey this ratio.

    Notes: A convenient pressure apparatus was designed for crystallization of high polymers under hydrostatic pressure up to 5000 atm. Melt crystallization as well as heat treatment under various temperatures and pressures was carried out on several polymers, and the effects of pressure on the molecular and crystal structures of the samples are discussed. Heat treatment of syndiotactic polypropylene under high pressure yields a new crystal modification rather than the previously known helix and planar zigzag modifications. Of the three modifications of poly(vinylidene fluoride), modification III was found as a high-pressure phase for specimens in the unoriented state, while modification I was obtained as the most stable one on heat treatment of oriented specimens under high pressure. Heat treatment under high pressure converts ordinary isotactic poly-4-methylpentene-1 with a lower density than the noncrystalline value, to a new crystal modification with higher density. As is reasonable, the dense modification is stable in a high-pressure range. For these three cases, the orientation of specimens was found to remain unchanged during the transitions, which must therefore occur in the solid state.

    Notes: The scattering of light by a two-dimensional spherulite of radius R is calculated when there is disorder of optic axis orientation with respect to the radius. Special cases are considered when (1) the disorder occurs in the radial direction only, (2) the disorder occurs in the angular direction only, (3) there is combined radial and angular disorder, and (4) the optic axis makes a constant angle with the radius but there is disorder in the twist angle about the axis. In all of these calculations, a correlation function for disorder is defined and the scattering pattern depends on the ratio of the associated correlation distance to the size of the spherulite. With decreasing correlation distance, the azimuthal dependence of the scattering becomes less and there is a change in the variation of scattered intensity with scattering angles in a manner dependent upon the type of disorder.

    Notes: The nonrandom orientational distribution of structural units, such as crystallites and chain segments, prevailing in an anisotropic bulk polymer sample can be represented fully by an orientation distribution function. Measurements of fluorescence polarization and wide-line NMR are, in principle, capable of yielding information on the moments of the distribution function up to the fourth order. This work presents the method of analysis required to determine these moments. For this purpose, the distribution function is expanded in a series of generalized spherical harmonies. The method is an extension of a similar technique previously proposed for analysis of x-ray diffraction data for determination of a complete crystallite orientation distribution function.

    Notes: The strain-optical coefficient and relaxation modulus were simultaneously measured for high-density polyethylene at various temperatures ranging from 12 to 100°C. Not only horizontal but also vertical shifts were necessary to obtain smooth master curves by the application of time-temperature superposition. However, the relaxation modulus decreases with rising temperature while the strain-optical coefficient increases. This behavior indicates that the variation of the relaxation modulus and the strain-optical coefficient with time can not be explained by a decrease in crystallinity with rising temperature since a decrease in crystallinity usually causes a decrease in the strain-optical coefficient with time can not be explained by a decrease in crystallinity with rising temperature since a decrease in crystallinity usually causes a decrease in the strain-optical coefficient. It was emphasized that another explanation should be sought for the vertical shift in the time-temperature superposition of the time-dependence curves of the relaxation modulus and the strain-optical coefficient at various temperatures. The master curve of the strain-optical coefficient at various temperatures. The master curve of the strain-optical coefficient or the optical distribution function of relaxation times determined from it serve to distinguish the type and thermal history of the polyethylene.

    Notes: Changes produced in γ-irradiated polyethylene by subsequent ultraviolet irradiation have been investigated by ESR measurements, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and viscometric determination of average molecular weight. The photoinduced changes depend on the wavelength of irradiation. Upon irradiation at wave length greater than 3900 Å, main-chain scission occurs by reaction of trapped allylic radicals: A reduction in molecular weight sndicated by this reaction was verified by fractionation experiments and molecular weight determinations.

    Notes: A mathematical representation of the transformation of an orientation function between two sets of Cartesian coordinates is discussed in terms of a series expansion of the distribution function in generalized spherical harmonics. A general procedure for calculating the mechanical anisotropy of a single-phase system (a polycrystalline material) from the orientation of its structural units and the intrinsic mechanical anisotropy of the structural unit is discussed in relation to the transformation of the orientation distribution function, i.e., mutual conversion of the coefficients in the expansion of the distribution function between the two sets of Cartesian coordinates. The procedure is extended to a two-phase systems (semicrystalline polymers) containing structural units composed of crystalline and noncrystalline materials in three different geometrical arrangements.

    Notes: Poly(ethylene adipate), poly(ethylene suberate), and poly(ethylene sebacate) were synthesized by a modified ester interchange procedure. Polydispersity was reduced and low molecular weight material removed by fractional crystallization. Samples of 50-60% crystallinity were prepared by bulk crystallization and annealing. Melting points and amorphous densities were obtained by dilatometry. Melting points were 7-12°C higher than previously reported. Heats of fusion were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and extrapolated to 100% crystallinity by using measured amorphous densities and recently redetermined crystalline densities. Entropies of fusion were calculated and separated for the first time into volume expansion and conformational contributions.

    Notes: The dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) have been studied in the frequency range 10 Hz to 100 kHz at temperatures between -196 and 150°C. Three dielectric relaxations were observed: the α relaxation occurred near 130°C, the β near 0°C, and the γ near -30°C at 100 kHz. In the α relaxation the magnitude of loss peak and the relaxation times increased not only with increasing lamellar thickness, but also with decrease of crystal defects in the crystalline regions. In the light of the above results, the α relaxation was attributed to the molecular motion in the crystalline regions which was related to the lamellar thickness and crystal defects in the crystalline phase. In the β relaxation, the magnitude of the loss peak increased with the amount of amorphous material. The relaxation times were independent of the crystal structure and the degree of crystallinity, but increased slightly with orientation of the molecular chains by drawing. The β relaxation was ascribed to the micro-Brownian motions of main chains in the amorphous regions. The Arrhenius plots were of the so-called WLF type, and the “freezing point” of the molecular motion was about -80°C. The Cole-Cole distribution parameter of the relaxation time α increased almost linearly with decreasing temperature in the temperature range of the experiment. The γ relaxation was attributed to local molecular motions in the amorphous regions.

    Notes: The theory for scattering of light from films in which the orientation correlation between two scattering elements depends upon the angle β between the optic axes and the vector connecting the two elements is extended. A delta-function type dependence is assumed in which the correlation is strongest when β equals some preferred value β0. Calculated results of scattered intensities are shown to be similar to experimental observations.

    Notes: ESR and electrical conductivity measurements have been made on a recently prepared polymer, polypropiolamide. The polymer was obtained as a fine powder which exhibited a nearly Lorentzian line with a width between derivative maxima of 5.2 ± 0.1 gauss and a g value of 2.0036 ± 0.0005. The signal intensity increased with increasing molecular weight. The signal was retained in a dilute solution in formic acid with a slight narrowing of the line. Permanent changes were produced in the spectra at room temperature by heat treatments of the polymer at temperatures up to 800°K. The changes were similar for samples sealed in tubes containing air, dry nitrogen gas and a vacuum of 3 × 10-5 mm of Hg. Spectra obtained at temperatures up to 500°K showed no dependence on the presence or absence of oxygen in the ambient atmosphere. The deresistance of pressed pellets of the polymer was measured in the temperature range 450°K to 525°K, and the results were described by the relation R = R0cE/kT. The activation energy E had a value of 1.2 ± 0.2 ev and the resistivity at 500°K was approximately 1013 ohm-em. The ESR signal is attributed to an intrinsic property of the polymer which is associated with a conjugated bond system along the polymer backbone. Neither the activation energy nor the magnitude of the resistivity suggest that the delocalized electrons associated with the conjugated bond system have produced unusual electrical characteristics in the polymer.

    Notes: Critical miscibility data obtained from measurements of phase-volume ratios have been used to calculate the concentration dependence of the pair interaction parameter for the system polystyrene-cyclohexane. The measured temperature and concentration ranges are 11-30°C and 4-18% polymer by weight, respectively. With the Gibbs free energy of mixing expressed in polymer segment mole fractions, x*, the pair interaction parameter is g(x*, T) = 0.4961 + 71.92/T + 0.2312x* + 0.0750x*2. In a polymer volume fraction formulation the parameter is g(ϕ, T) = 0.4099 + 90.65/T + 0.2064 ϕ + 0.0518 ϕ2, which approximates to χ(ϕ, T) = 0.2035 + 90.65/T + 0.3092 ϕ + 0.1554 ϕ2. Comparison of the temperature and concentration dependence with that obtained by other authors shows very good agreement, even when extensive extrapolations in temperature and concentration are applied. The present function is believed to be the most accurate. Solutions of mixtures of two narrow-distribution polystyrenes in cyclohexane show separation into three liquid phases under the exact conditions predicted by theoretical calculation with the present pair-interaction function.

    Notes: Selenacyclobutane (trimethylene selenide) readily undergoes photochemical reaction to give polymeric products. Also, the material polymerizes rapidly when the polycrystalline solid film liquifies on a salt substrate in vacuum. Upon polymerization of the sample, infrared and Raman spectra exhibit profound changes which definitely establish ring cleavage. The Raman spectra of the polymer reveal strong C-Se stretching peaks but little or no scattering in the region of Se-Se stretching, strongly suggesting that the polymerization process proceeds in a regular head-to-tail fashion. An EPR study of the monomer exposed to ultraviolet radiation at -180°C supports this fact, since the resulting spectrum is indicative of an intermediate radical species, (CH2CH2-CH2Se)n., where n is sufficiently large that the terminal electrons do not interact. No triplet spectra were observed. Molecular oxygen apparently plays an important role in the polymerization kinetics, since it is found that degassed samples of the substance, in contrast to those which have not been degassed, polymerize rapidly even under room illumination. Freezing-point depression measurements fix a lower limit to the average molecular weight of the polymer at 2700 (n = 23 monomer units).
