    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural findings of the metachromatic granules in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord in a case of metachromatic leukodystrophy are presented. The typical neuronal inclusions are concentrically laminated bodies of approximately 1 μ. In addition various morphological variations of the abnormal inclusions are seen side by side in the same neuron and give the impression that the highly organized laminated bodies are formed as a result of progressive deposition of membranous material upon a nidas which is initially amorphous, which then becomes granular, fibrillar or horizontally striped and finally multilaminated. Material capable of binding colloidal iron particles is demonstrated in these inclusions, and suggests the presence of mucopolysaccharides.

    Notes: Summary One hundred and eighty 12 week old Swiss mice were injected subcutaneously with 0.1 ml suspensions of the E and M variants of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. Ninety-seven surviving mice were sacrificed at intervals from 24 h to 21 days following injection. The M variant group showed only mild microglial proliferation in the brain, while the E variant group displayed various alterations in the astrocytes and neurons exhibiting loss of nuclear membranes and marked changes in the mitochondria and other organelles. In addition, the neuronal cytoplasm displayed aggregates of fine electron-dense granules on the third day which increased in size during the fifth to seventh day. After 7 days, the neurons contained occasional rhomboid structures composed of rows of parallel arranged granules which were similar to those observed in the viscera after EMC virus infection.

    Notes: Summary „Fingerprint inclusions” were observed in numerous muscle fibres of 3 cases of dystrophia myotonica studied by electron microscopy in two different laboratories. They consist of parallel or concentric palisades of short electron dense linear elements. Identical „fingerprint inclusions” were reported in two other clinical conditions and cannot therefore be regarded as specific for a particular muscle disease. Their origin and significance remain obscure.

Electron basement membrane production were identified. It is suggested that they are related to the growth of ependymal tumor cells in juxtaposition to the collagen normally present in the conus medullaris and filum terminale.

    Notes: Summary Sixteen calves were killed at intervals during the course of the disease from 48 h onwards after subcutaneous infection with Aujeszky's disease virus. Ultrastructural changes were evident in the spinal ganglia from 84 h post-inoculation and the intercostal nerves from 96 h post-inoculation. The cytopathic changes in the spinal ganglia consisted of neuronal degeneration, neuronophagia, Schwann cell degeneration and cellular infiltration. The neuronophagic nodule was invariably contained within an intact sheath of satellite cells. Changes in the intercostal nerves were less dramatic but cellular infiltration was frequently seen and occasional Schwann cells were degenerate. In the terminal stages of the disease demyelination was rarely observed. In the ganglion virus was invariably seen in degenerating neurons and occasionally in Schwann cells and monocytes. Satellite cells were rarely infected even when ensheathing an infected neuron. Extra-cellular virus was not observed in ganglia or nerves. Schwann cells and monocytes in the nerves were occasionally infected. Virus particles were seen in the axoplasm both in the ganglion and in the entire length of the nerve. The particles in the axoplasm varied in morphology; thus unenveloped and enveloped particles, and particles in the process of acquiring an envelope were recognised. It was concluded that the neural pathway of Aujeszky's disease virus is probablyvia the axoplasm.

    Notes: Summary The results of combined tissue culture, ultrastructural and enzyme histochemical investigations carried out on a sympathetic ganglioneuroblastoma are reported.In vitro a vigorous sprouting of newly formed neuritic processes was observed a few days after explantation. The enzymatic reactions for acethylcholinesterase were positivein situ as well asin vitro. The tumor elements showed the ultrastructural characteristics of nerve cells with many microtubuli and filaments, plenty of ribosomes, well developed endoplasmic reticulum. Dense bodies, corresponding to neurosecretion granula (catecholamines) were also observed. Synaptic structures were missing. The results of these investigations confirm that this kind of tumor is different from so-called medulloblastoma.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscopic examination of a biopsy of skeletal muscle from a young girl with chronic polymyositis revealed the presence of sarcoplasmic and perinuclear inclusions. A large number of virus-like particles was demonstrated at the surface of muscle cells and in extracellular space. On the basis of the microscopic appearance it is suggested that the virus particles belong to one of the members of the paramyxovirus group.

    Notes: Summary Muscle biopsies from 9 acromegalics were examined by conventional histological and histochemical techniques. Six biopsies were also examined with the electron microscope. Isolated fibre necrosis or vacuolar degeneration was found in 3 biopsies and increased numbers of internal nuclei in 5 biopsies. A high glycogen content was demonstrated in many fibres in each biopsy by the PAS method and by electron microscopy. Routine enzyme histochemical techniques showed hypertrophy of type I and type II fibres in 2 subjects, hypertrophy of type I fibres only in 2 subjects, atrophy of both fibre types in 2 subjects and atrophy of type II fibres only in 4 subjects. Electron microscopy showed large amounts of lipfuscin pigment in many fibres while some fibres had large sarcolemmal nuclei with prominent nucleoli, and a prominent Golgi apparatus. Satellite cells were found in 3 biopsies. In one biopsy coiled membranous configurations thought to consist of phospholipids, and tubular aggregates thought to be derived from degenerating mitochondria were present at the periphery of a number of type II fibres. It is postulated that some of the ultrastructural changes found in muscle fibres are the result of the growth hormone-induced hypertrophic process and the increased turnover of cytoplasmic components associated with it while others reflect the atrophic process in some muscle fibres.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of sural nerve biopsies was studied in two sisters with Cockayne's syndrome. Both had severe physical and mental retardation and evidence of peripheral neuropathy. Striking alterations in the myelin sheath with relative preservation of the axis cylinder were noted in both. There were also electron dense bodies in the Schwann cells. These findings support the suggestion that Cockayne's syndrome may be a form of leukodystrophy.

    Notes: Summary Well myelinated cultures of chick embryo spinal cord were exposed to medium containing 6-aminonicotinamide in a concentration of 0.5 mmol for up to 48 h. By 24–48 h of exposure to the antivitamin, neurons showed a granulovacuolar degeneration which later led to the formation of large vacuoles in the neuronal perikarya. Myelin degeneration was also observed in this period in the form of swelling, beading and ballooning. Electron microscopy revealed moderately swollen mitochondria and dilated endoplasmic reticulum as the earliest neuronal change. Later, neurons became pyknotic and the cytoplasmic organelles disintegrated. Presynaptic endings and glial cells, however, was spared any degenerative change. Intermittent and irregular splitting of myelin lamellae were also observed along the intraperiod lines. Biochemical assay of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the experimental cultures showed that 45% of the enzyme activity was lost during the 30-h period. It is concluded that the formation of 6-aminonicotinamide analogues of NAD and NADP coenzymes leads to the impairment of the pentose phosphate pathway and the glucose turnover, and thus produces neurotoxic effects in the central nervous system.

    Notes: Summary A case of suspected mercury poisoning (Minamata disease) was studied. Microscopic and ultrastructural changes in the nervous system were compared with those of a confirmed case of mercury poisoning from Minamata Bay, Japan, and those from exprimental animals intoxicated with methyl mercury. Disintegration of the granular layer, disappearance of the Purkinje cells with Bergmann's fiber proliferation and demyelination of the fiber tracts were observed in the cerebellum. Ultrastructural examination also revelad extensive proliferation of astrocytic fibers and characteristic focal demyelination and loosening of the myelin sheaths in many nerve fibers. Such pathological changes were consistent with those observed in both human cases and experimental animals poisoned by methyl mercury.

    Notes: Summary Complete cerebral ischaemia of 30 and 90 min was produced in normothermic barbiturized cats by clamping the innominate and subclavian arteries and lowering the systemic blood pressure. When the brains were adequatly recirculated after 30 min of ischaemia, electron microscopical and histochemical changes observed at the end of the circulatory arrest, were almost fully reversible. Endothelial cells of capillaries showed increased number and size of pinocytotic vesicles and numerous intraluminal flaps. ATPase activity was increased in the capillary walls and glial cells. Opposite to this, severe and irreversible ultrastructural changes were observed after 90 min of ischaemia, and all the enzyme activities studied were sharply decreased.

    Notes: Summary Nervous system tumors were induced in the offspring of BD-IX (inbred) and CFE (non-inbred) rats by transplacental administration of ethylnitrosourea. Tumors of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) were obtained in approximately 80% of all animals, and tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) in 16%. Although several peripheral nerves were sites of tumor formation, the trigeminal nerve was the most frequent nerve affected. In male CFE rats, 70% of all PNS tumors affected the trigeminal nerve. The incidence of trigeminal nerve tumors in female BD-IX rats was only 33% of PNS tumors. Light and electron microscopy showed that the PNS tumors are made-up of Schwann cells, and behave like malignant tumors. The tumors began as a proliferation of recognizable Schwann cells, later they lost their basement lamina, destroyed the nerve tissue and invaded neighboring structures, but did not metastasize. Like their human counterparts, they showed “dense” and “loose” areas. In both of these, Schwann cells were recognized as the tumor cells. Trigeminal nerve tumors were transplanted fromin vitro cultured cells or directly from transplanted fresh tumor fragments to isologous rats (BD-IX). Subcutaneous. intraperitoneal and intracerebral transplants were done. The morphology and behavior of the transplanted tumors were similar to the original malignant neurinomas.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscopic and enzyme histochemical studies were performed on the cerebellum and the ocular and deltoid muscles from a 38 year old woman who developed bilateral ptosis at the age of nine years. Histologically the cerebellum appeared normal. The biopsies of three ocular muscles showed varying sizes of muscle fibers which were rounded and contained increased numbers of subsarcolemmal nuclei. The deltoid muscle stained by hematoxylin and eosin appeared normal, but the trichrome stain showed increased numbers of red granules within the sarcolemma corresponding ultrastructurally to increased numbers of abnormal mitochondria. These abnormal mitochondria displayed increased reaction products with LDH, NADH and SDH preparations, while the muscle gave normal reaction in phosphorylase, PAS and myosin ATP preparations. Chemical studies on the cerebellum showed normal proteolipids, glycolipids and phospholipids. Ultrastructurally, the cerebellum, the myofibers of three ocular muscles and the deltoid muscle exhibited abnormal mitochondria which showed peculiarly arranged circular cristae. They frequently contained paracrystalline structures which consisted of individual tubules arranged in a helical pattern. Frequently, the abnormal mitochondria were replaced by dense rectangular inclusions and occasionally showed complete transition to crystalline structures.

    Notes: Summary A combined light and electron microscope study was made of the alterations occurring in the neurones and astrocytes of the neocortex and hippocampus of rats killed immediately after intermittent exposures to nitrogen of 5 and 15 min. Blood flow in the right common carotid artery had previously been interrupted by application of an artery clasp which was removed after the exposure to nitrogen and the animals killed by perfusion-fixation with glutaraldehyde. Microvacuolation (MV), the earliest stage of anoxic-ischaemic neuronal damage, was observed in the ipsilateral neocortex and hippocampus of both groups and ischaemic cell change (ICC) bilaterally in the neocortex of animals exposed for 15 min. Ultrastructural examination showed the microvacuoles to be swollen mitochondria. Slightly dense, mildly distorted, non-vacuolated neurones were also seen in the neocortex and hippocampus. They did not exhibit the ultrastructural changes seen in MV and ICC. Swollen astrocytic processes were sometimes seen around the damaged neurones, more frequently after 15 min exposure. Slight swelling of perivascular astrocytic processes was occasionally observed while the extracullular spaces in the neuropil remained unaltered. This implies that the accumulation of fluid in oedematous grey matter is confined to the astrocytic compartment. The reversibility or otherwise of all the neuronal alterations is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Focal lesions were induced in the cerebellum by feeding chickens a diet high in unsaturated fats and deficient in vitamin E. Ultrastructurally, the lesions consisted of central and peripheral zones. The central zone was characterized in the cortex and white matter by enlargement of the intercellular space, swelling of astrocytes, vacuolization of oligodendrocytes, ballooning of nerve fibers, degenerative changes in small blood vessels, and extravasation of plasma and blood cells. The peripheral zone was characterized by enlargement of the intercellular space in the white matter, swelling of astrocytes in the cortex, and the accumulation of dark bodies in the endothelium of small blood vessels. The results suggest that this nutritional encephalopathy is caused by alterations in the permeability of the vascular bed due to the dietary stress of unsaturated fatty acids in the absence of vitamin E.

    Notes: Summary Hexachlorophene intoxication produced cerebral edema in rats and mice characterized by the accumulation of fluid within myelin sheaths. Vessels remained impermeable to Trypan Blue. The amount of water in the brains of affected mice gradually returned to normal when the animals were put back on a normal diet. Correspondingly the status spongiosus decreased in severity in recovering animals. Some axonal degeneration occurred but there was no evidence of any breakdown of myelin lipids. The similarity of this encephalopathy to that seen following intoxication with triethyltin, isonicotinic acid hydrazide and cuprizone is emphasized. The potential toxicity of hexachlorophene to human infants is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-four hours and one week, respectively, after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) had been experimentally induced in baboons, therapeutic dosages of glycerol and/or phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride were injected intravenously. Groups of three animals were studied at various time intervals after SAH: one animal served as a control, one animal per group received phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride (PBZ), and thefinal animal received both PBZ and a 10% glycerol (in saline) injection. The animals were prepared for electron microscopy by whole body perfusion with a glutaraldehyde/phosphate fixative. Few ultrastructural abnormalities were noted in cerebral tissue in each of the animals receiving glycerol, whereas the brain tissue from the untreated animals and those which had been treated with PBZ alone showed morphological changes compatible with cerebral edema.

The myelin sheaths showed remarkable changes and the axons secondary changes, while the unmyelinated nerve fibres were intact. These findings demonstrate that pathological changes of peripheral nerves occur in Wilson's disease. The changes are considered to be primary degeneration of the myelin sheaths.

    Notes: Summary Four pinealomas of the two-cell type (atypical teratomas) were investigated by electron microscopy. They all showed the same unique histological ultrastructure. The lymphocyte-like cells did not differ ultrastructurally from lymphocytes. Many plasma cells with well-developed rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum were also seen. The small cells and the plasma cells were considered to be derived from blood cells. A variety of the large cells in the process of differentiation were observed. They had a large and ovoid nucleus with uniform granular chromatin and contained one or more prominent nucleoli. The large cells had many dilated cytoplasmic cisternae, numerous glycogen granules of about 250–300 Å in diameter and annulate lamellae. Ultrastructurally, the pinealoma of the two-cell type resembled the seminoma of testis which is of germ cell origin. This suggests that the pinealoma may be of germ cell origin.

    Notes: Summary After peripheral deafferentation of the olfactory bulb of the rabbit obtained either spontaneously by atrophic rhinitis (main bulb only) or surgically, a transneuronal degeneration is observed by light microscopy: narrowing of the outer plexiform layer (30 to 40%), decrease (40%) in mean area of the mitral cells, light texture of the periglomerular neuropil. The study by electron microscopy at survival-times of from 8 h to 6 months shows: 1. intraglomerular dendritic lesions; 2. rarefaction of thick dendrites in the outer plexiform layer; 3. reduction of Nissl bodies in mitral and tufted cells. 4. periglomerular lesions: their morphology and laminar aspect could evoke a vascular origin. The interpretation of these modifications and their relation to transneuronal atrophy are discussed. Dark mitral- or granule cells have been observed neither in the main nor in the accessory olfactory bulbs, even when complete denervation occured.

The brain parenchyma, including several infarcts, was free of silver, but the choroid plexus showed silver deposited in the basal lamina, the stroma including calcified bodies, and occasionally within a mesenchymal cell of the choroid plexus stroma. The basal lamina beneath the choroidal epithelium was most affected. The silver granules appeared solid and free of any limiting membrane.

    Notes: Summary Nerve biopsy findings are recorded for two previously reported patients with Tangier disease (hereditary high density lipoprotein deficiency). Both cases showed unusual clinical manifestations in comparison with other reported cases. The neurological disorder, symptoms from which began in the third decade, gave rise to a lower motor neuron deficit of unique distribution, which was accompanied by progressive sensory impairment limited for many years to loss of pain and temperature sensibility, ultimately involving all sensory modalities. Both biopsy specimens displayed similar features, with a gross loss of unmyelinated and myelinated axons, an extensive accumulation of lipid within Schwann cells, and excessive endoneurial collagenization. The axonal loss appeared to represent a primary axonal degeneration, there being no evidence of a demyelinating process. It is suggested that the accumulation of cholesterol within Schwann cells may be the result of a failure of cholesterol removal mechanisms or of intracellular lipid transport.

    Notes: Summary Intraperitoneal injections of a hypocholesterolemic drug, AY9944 produced neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in the brain of Wistar strain of rats. The inclusions were numerous and larger in size in the younger age groups but gradually decreased in number and size after 30 days of age. Only a few small inclusions were seen in rats of 35 days of age or older, in spite of continuous injection of the drug. Inclusions gradually decreased in number after discontinuation of the drug in a relatively younger age group. Injection of the drug in adult rats produced only a few small neuronal inclusions. Ultrastructurally, concentrical lamellar structures were the predominant ones in younger age groups but other types of inclusions were seen in older animals and those receiving lesser amounts of the drug or those which were examined after discontinuation of the drug. This observation suggests that morphologically different inclusions can be formed by basically the same treatment if there is any difference in the metabolic activity of the target cell or the amounts of the drug. Biochemical analysis of the sterols revealed a consistently high level of 7-dehydrocholesterol up to 69 days of age, when AY9944 was administered continuously, despite the fact that there was a decrease in the number and size of the abnormal neuronal inclusions.

    Notes: Summary The electron microscopic study of a cortical biopsy from a child presenting a Tuberous Sclerosis shows the importance of the astrocytic gliosis, the existence of abnormal cells of which two types can be recognized, and the presence of giant cells. All these cells are remarkable by the abundance of the ergastoplasm, the development of the Golgi apparatus, and the presence of membrane bound dense bodies. These cells are undoubtedly of astrocytic origin and appear very similar to the cells observed in a tumour of the caudate nucleus of another child affected by the same disease. These morphological data lead to believe that the cerebral abnormalities of the Tuberous Sclerosis essentially concern the astrocytes. The main characteristic of this astrocytic lesion would be its blastomatous potentiality.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des cultures de monocouches cellulaires d'épiphyses fémorales distales d'embryons de veaux sont étudiées immédiatement après la première sub-culture, réalisée après culture primaire. L'examen au microscope optique classique montre des dépôts disséminés de matériel métachromatique: en microscopie électronique, de fines fibrilles, considérées comme des fibres de collagène, en voie de développement, ont été observées. La nature des sécrétions cellulaires a été étudiée à l'aide de précurseurs radioactifs, fractionnés sur Sephadex G200, ainsi qu'à l'aide de chromatographie par échange d'ions. La digestion enzymatique par hyaluronidase et chondroitinase AC et ABC, bactérienne et testiculaire, démontre que les cellules synthétisent 70% de glycosaminoglycanes sulfatés et 30% de glycosaminoglycanes non sulfatés. Parmi les glycosaminoglycanes, 70% sont constitués par du chondroitine-4-sulfate, 20% par du chondroitine-6-sulfate et le reste probablement par du keratane-sulfate. Les études avec des acides aminés marqués indiquent que les cellules synthétisent une protéine de poids moléculaire élevé, contenant de l'hydroxyleproline, ainsi qu'une protéine non-collagénique, mise en évidence par incorporation de tryptophane.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Einschichtige Zellkulturen von der distalen Femurepiphyse von Kalbsembryonen wurden nach der ersten Subkultur untersucht, welche nach der Verschmelzung der primären Kulturen angesetzt wurde. Die lichtmikroskopische Untersuchung zeigte verstreute Ablagerungen von metachromatisch gefärbtem Material; bei der Elektronenmikroskopie wurden feine Fibrillen festgestellt, welche als Collagenvorstufe angesehen wurden. Nach einer Kultur von mehreren Tagen zeigte sich eine lacunäre Anordnung der Zellen. Die Beschaffenheit der Zellsekretionen wurde mittels radioaktiv markierten Verbindungen untersucht, welche auf Sephadex G200 und durch Ionenaustausch-Chromatographie fraktioniert wurden. Die enzymatische Verdauung mit bakterieller und testikulärer Hyaluronidase und Chondroitinase-AC und-ABC zeigte, daß die Zellen 70% sulfatierte und 30% nichtsulfatierte Glycosaminoglycane synthetisierten. Die sulfatierten Glycosaminoglycane enthielten 70% Chondroitin-4-Sulfat, 20% Chondroitin-6-Sulfat, und der Rest war wahrscheinlich Keratansulfat. Untersuchungen mit markierten Aminosäuren-Vorläufern deuteten darauf hin, daß die Zellen ein Hydroxyprolinhaltiges, hochmolekuläres Protein synthetisierten und dazu etwas Eiweiß, bei dem es sich auf Grund des Tryptophaneinbaues nicht um Collagen handeln kann.
    Notes: Abstract Monolayer cell cultures from the distal femoral epiphyses of embryo calves were studied following the first subculture, which was carried out after confluence in primary culture. Light microscopic examination revealed scattered deposits of metachromatic-staining material; on electron microscopy fine fibrils considered to be developmental collagen were seen. After several days in culture lacuna-like patterns of cells were seen. The nature of the cell secretions were studied by radioactive precursors, which were fractionated on Sephadex G200 and by ion exchange chromatography. Enzyme digestion with bacterial and testicular hyaluronidase and chondroitinase-AC and-ABC revealed that the cells synthesized 70% sulphated, and 30% non-sulphated glycosaminoglycans. Of the sulphated glycosaminoglycans 70% was chondroitin-4-sulphate, 20% chondroitin-6-sulphate, and the remainder probably keratansulphate. Studies were labelled amino acid precursors suggested that the cells synthesized a high-molecular weight protein containing hydroxyproline, as well as some non-collagenous protein, shown by tryptophan incorporation

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'élimination de protéoglycans solubles de coupes de cartilage costal de boeuf, par extraction dans une solution de 4M d'hydrochlorure de guanidinium, permet de mettre en évidence des quantités abondantes de collagène dispersé et désagrégé dans la matrice. Les protéoglycanes, résistants à l'extraction, sont visibles sous forme de granules concentrés dans les régions périlacunaires. Les granulations plus importants des protéoglycanes semblent venir du chondrocyte. Dans la matrice, éloignée des chondrocytes, ces granules deviennent plus étroites. Un composant non granulaire “amorphe” masque les fibres de collagène, de telle sorte qu'elles sont difficilement visibles dans le cartilage intact.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die löslichen Proteoglycane wurden mittels Extraktion in 4 M Guanidinhydrochlorid aus Rippenknorpelschnitten des Rindes entfernt. Dies erlaubte die Sichtbarmachung von großen Mengen von verstreuten und auseinandergerissenen Collagen in der Matrix. Die Protoglycane, welche sich nicht extrahieren lassen, erscheinen als kleine, in den perilacunären Regionen konzentrierte Körnchen. Die großen Proteoglycan-Körner scheinen in den Chondrocyten zu entstehen. Sobald sie sich in die Matrix, außerhalb der Chondrocyten, verlagern, werden die Körner kleiner. Ein nicht-granulärer, „amorpher” Bestandteil verhüllt die Collagenfasern, so daß diese im intakten Knorpel nicht deutlich gesehen werden können.
    Notes: Abstract Removal of the soluble proteoglycans from slices of bovine costal cartilage by extraction in 4 M guanidinium hydrochloride permitted the visualization of abundant amounts of dispersed and disaggregated collagen in the matrix. Proteoglycans which are resistant to extraction are seen as small granules which are concentrated in the perilacunar regions. Large proteoglycan granules appear to originate in the chondrocyte. As they come to occupy positions in the matrix distant from the chondrocyte, the granules become smaller. A non-granular, “amorphous” component masks the collagen fibers so that they cannot be readily seen in the intact cartilage.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Du phosphate de calcium amorphe (ACP) sèché peut se présenter sous forme discoide ou sphérique. Les particules discoides sont plus fréquents dans les specimens d'ACP sèché, isolés immédiatement après précipitation. Les formes sphériques dominent dans les specimens sèchés provenant de suspensions plus âgés. Les particules discoides résultent de la dessication de l'échantillon. Les sphères peuvent aussi se produire pendant la dessication, mais s'observent aussi dans la solution. Les disques et les sphères ont une origine commune sous la forme d'un agrégat d'ACP hautement hydraté de morphologie inconnue. La formation d'apatite cristallin en solution est intimement associée avec l'ACP. Les premiers cristaux apparaissent à la surface des sphères amorphes et en contact avec les disques amorphes. En cas de sphères, les cristaux initiaux augmentent de taille et forment de nouveaux cristaux par nucléation secondaire jusqu'à ce que les sphères soient enrobées par l'apatite. Cependant, lorsque la transformation est totale, l'apatite ne remplit pas l'espace occupé préalablement par les sphères amorphes dissoutes. Ces observations ne confirment pas le concept d'une conversion d'un état solidein situ dans ce cas mais suggèrent une transition hétérophasique d'un processus de translocation ionique par l'intermédiaire d'une solution. La production de cristaux dans les disques amorphes suggère que l'apatite peut aussi se former directement du précurseur dans la solution.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Getrocknetes amorphes Calciumphosphat (ACP) kann scheiben- und kugelförmig auftreten. Die scheibenförmigen Partikel herrschen in getrockneten ACP-Proben vor, welche direkt nach der Fällung isoliert wurden. Die kugeligen Formen herrschen in trockenen Proben aus älteren Suspensionen vor. Die Scheibenbildung ist ein Ergebnis des Trocknungsvorganges. Kugelige Formen können beim Trocknungsvorgang ebenfalls auftreten, sie sind aber in der nativen Suspension ebenfalls anwesend. Scheiben- und Kugelformen scheinen einen gemeinsamen Vorläufer in der Lösung zu haben, welcher ein hochhydratisiertes ACP-Aggregat unbekannter Morphologie zu sein scheint. Die Bildung von kristallinem Apatit in der Lösung steht in engem Zusammenhang mit ACP. Die ersten Kristalle erscheinen auf der Oberfläche der amorphen Kugeln und in Kontakt mit den amorphen Scheiben. Die ursprünglichen Kristalle auf den Kugeloberflächen nehmen an Größe zu und bilden durch sekundäre Nukleation weitere Kristalle, bis die Kugeln in Apatit eingehüllt werden. Wenn die Umwandlung abgeschlossen ist, füllt jedoch das Apatit den Platz nicht aus, der vorher von den aufgelösten amorphen Kugeln eingenommen wurde. Diese Beobachtungen bekräftigen die Auffassung einerin situ-Umwandlung in den festen Zustand bei dem beschriebenen Falle nicht, sondern deuten auf eine heterophasischen Übergang, welcher durch einen lösungsbedingten Ionenverschiebungs-Prozeß gefördert wird. Das Auftreten von Kristallen in den amorphen Scheiben deutet darauf hin, daß sich Apatit auch direkt aus dem Lösungsvorläufer bilden kann.
    Notes: Abstract Dried amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) can exist in discoidal and spheroidal forms. The disk-shaped particles are most prominent in dried ACP specimens isolated immediately following precipitation. The spherical forms become dominant in dried specimens taken from older suspensions. The disk-like morphology is a result of sample drying. Spherules can also arise during the drying step but are present in the native suspension as well. Both the disks and spherules appear to have a common solution progenitor in the form of a highly hydrated ACP aggregate of unknown morphology. The formation of crystalline apatite in solution is intimately connected with ACP. The first crystals appear on the surface of the amorphous spherules and in contact with the amorphous disks. In the case of the spherules, the initial crystals increase in size and generate additional crystals by secondary nucleation until the spherules become enveloped by apatite. However, when conversion is completed, the apatite does not fill appreciably the space previously occupied by the dissolved amorphous spherules. These observations do not support the concept of anin situ solid state conversion in this case, but indicate a heterophase transition supported by a solution-mediated ion translocation process. The occurrence of crystals in the amorphous disks suggest that apatite can also form directly from the solution progenitor.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die elektronenmikroskopischen Ergebnisse bei Hyperoxie und hyperbarer Oxygenation bestätigen übereinstimmend in der Frühphase an der Lunge die exsudativen Veränderungen mit Endothelschwellung und latentem interstitiellen Ödem. Durch eine deutliche Verbreiterung des Blut-Luft-Weges besteht eine Reduktion in der Diffusionskapazität. Die Störungen in der Permeabilität der Zellmembranen betreffen zunächst mehr das Capillarendothel als das Alveolarepithel. Für das Auftreten der Zellschäden ist die Höhe des Saurerstoffpartialdruckes entscheidender als die hyperbare Oxygenation. Die Einatmung von reinem Sauerstoff im Überdruck führt zusätzlich über einen Anstieg des Kohlensäurepartialdruckes im Gewebe zu einer neurochemisch ausgelösten akuten Hypertension mit Lungenödem (Wood und Perkins, 1970). Das Lungenödem bei Hyperoxie und hyperbarer Oxygenation kommt sehr wahrscheinlich auf mehreren pathogenetischen Wegen zustande. Atelektasen bei Hyperoxie sind wahrscheinlich durch die Exsudation von fibrinmonomerhaltigem Blutplasma mit nachfolgender Inaktivierung vorhandener Surfactant-Aktivitäten sowie durch die Blockade der intracellulären Synthese des Surfactant ausgelöst. Zusätzlich sind direkte Enzymschäden der Zelle nach Sauerstoffvergiftung, besonders die Wirkungen der Peroxydationen auf die Mitochondrienmembranen zu berücksichtigen (Haugaard, 1968; Podlesch, 1972; Kleinschmidt, 1972). Der Schweregrad der Diffusionsstörung ist vom O2-Partial-druck und von der Expositionsdauer abhängig. Hibernation retardiert die Sauerstofftoxizität (Huizenga, Butcher und Simmonds, 1972). Die Lungen kleinerer Laboratoriumstiere reagieren schneller und empfindlicher auf O2-Schäden als die Lungen größerer Laboratoriumstiere und als die Lunge des Menschen. Kurzfristige Intervallbeatmung von 40%igem Sauerstoff im Inspirationsgemisch ist unschädlich und ruft keine Lungenveränderungen hervor. Trifft dagegen eine länger angewandte Hyperoxie auf eine vorgeschädigte Lunge, z. B. bei Schocksyndrom, Fettembolie oder Lungentrauma, müssen sich die Schäden aggravieren und können unter dem Bild eines progressiven Atemnotsyndroms zum Tode führen. Hyperoxische Lungenschäden benötigen aufgrund der elektronenmikroskopischen Befunde mehrere Monate bis zur anatomischen Ausheilung, wobei die Wiederherstellung der Lungenfunktion der anatomischen Ausheilung vorangeht.
    Notes: Abstract The results of electron microscope examinations during hyperoxia and hyperbaric oxygenation unanimously confirm the exudative changes in the lungs in the early stages, with endothelial swelling and latent interstitial oedema. Because of marked spreading of the blood-air paths, a reduction occurs in the diffusion capacity. Disturbances in the permeability of the cell membrane involve the capillary endothelium at first more than the alveolar epithelium. The level of the oxygen partial pressure is more decisive than hyperbaric oxygenation for the appearance of cell damage. Inspiration of pure oxygen at excess pressure also causes neurochemically induced acute hypertension with pulmonary oedema due to an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in tissues. Probably several pathogenic pathways are involved in the formation of pulmonary oedema in hyperoxia and hyperbaric oxygenation. In hyperoxia, atelectases are probably produced by the exudation of blood plasma containing fibrin monomer with subsequent inactivation of the surface activity present and by the blockade of the intracellular synthesis of surfactant. In addition, direct damage to cell enzymes after poisoning with oxygen, especially the effect of peroxidation on the mitochondrial membranes must be taken into account. The degree of severity of diffusion disturbance depends on the O2 partial pressure and on the duration of exposure. Hibernation delays the toxicity of oxygen. The lungs of smaller laboratory animals react more quickly and more sensitively to the harmful effects of O2 than the lungs of larger laboratory animals and man. Short periods of artificial respiration at intervals, with 40% oxygen in the inspiration mixture, are harmless and cause no changes in the lungs. However, if hyperoxia is used for a longer period, on a previously damaged lung, for example in shock, fat embolism or lung trauma, the damage becomes worse and may end in death resulting from progressive dyspnoea. The electron microscope findings show that in hyperoxic lung damage, several months are required for anatomical cure, the restoration of lung function preceding the anatomical cure.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei einem Fall von juveniler amaurotischer Idiotie mit protrahiertem Verlauf (Beginn der Erkrankung mit 14 Jahren, Alter des Patienten 52 Jahre) wird über die Ultrastruktur des Speichermaterials in einer Rectumbiopsie berichtet. Das in Makrophagen der Mucosa gespeicherte Material entspricht den für die juvenile Form charakteristischen curvilineären Strukturen. Gegenüber der Kufsschen Form läßt sich der Fall ultrastrukturell durch das Fehlen der bei der Spätform beschriebenen Lipofuscin-Granula abgrenzen. Das klinische Bild spricht auch für die juvenile Form. Auffallend waren neben dem protrahierten Verlauf der verzögerte Beginn der Erkrankung sowie das späte Einsetzen der geistigen Retardierung.
    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of storage material in a rectal biopsy taken from a patient with juvenile amaurotic idiocy with protracted course (onset of illness: 14 years; age of patient: 52 years) is described. The material stored in macrophages of the mucosa was like the curvilinear structures characteristic of the juvenile type. It was possible to exclude Kufs' type in this case by absence of the lipofuscin granula seen in the fine structures in the adult type. The clinical picture was also consistent with the juvenile form. Apart from the protracted course, other striking features were the delayed onset of the disease and the late beginning of mental retardation.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the preterminal nerve fibers of the rabbit myometrial smooth muscle was studied using potassium permanganate fixation or glutaraldehyde fixation with postosmification. The preterminal fibers were mostly formed by 2–10 axons enveloped by Schwann cells. Two kinds of axons and axon terminals were found. (1) Adrenergic axons, which contained many small, granular vesicles (diameter 300–600 Å) and large granular vesicles (diameter 700–1200 Å) which represented ca. 2% of the total count of the vesicles. (2) Nonadrenergic axons, which contained small agranular vesicles (diameter 300–600 Å) and large granular vesicles (diameter 700–1200 Å). Both types of axons formed preterminal varicosities along their course. The real terminal varicosities, representing the anatomical end of the axons, were usually larger than the preterminal ones and showed close contact to the plasma membranes of the smooth muscle cells. Both adrenergic and nonadrenergic terminals were found close to the smooth muscle cells, but a gap of at least 2000 Å was always present between the two cell membranes. The axons and preterminal varicosities of both types of nerves were in intimate contact with each other within the preterminal nerve fiber. Axo-axonal interactions between the two types of axons are possible in the rabbit myometrium. The relative proportion of the nonadrenergic axons from the total was about one fourth.

    Notes: Summary Pharyngeal cells of Alcyonidium polyoum (Bryozoa) are provided with very large vacuoles. Each vacuole is enveloped by a thin layer of striated muscle, whose contraction enlarges the organ. Filaments join the muscular elements to the apical plasmalemma. This point of muscular insertion is connected by fibrils with the amorphic lamina of cell-coat which surrounds the microvilli. Ribosomes are often found on dyads. Various vesicles are located in the apical cytoplasm.
