    Notes: Published data show that in its early stages (up to 3% decomposition), the pyrolysis of n-hexane in the ranges 723-823 K and 10-100 Torr is not inhibited by the olefin products, in contrast with neopentane pyrolysis which is very strongly inhibited in similar conditions. Detailed consideration of the chain mechanisms for the two pyrolyses shows that the reactivity of the chain terminating radical towards hydrogen abstraction from an allylic C—H bond in product olefin is the factor which determines whether or not observable self-inhibition occurs. Thus, n-hexane pyrolysis, whose chain decomposition is terminated by recombination and disproportionation of ethyl, is not significantly self-inhibited, whereas that of neopentane which is terminated by recombination of methyl is very strongly inhibited because methyl is 14× more reactive than ethyl. The implications for other alkanes are briefly discussed.

    Notes: The gas phase elimination of 4-(methylthio)-1-butyl acetate and 1-chloro-4-(methylthio)-butane has been investigated in a seasoned, static reaction vessel over the temperature range of 310-410°C and the pressure range of 46-193 Torr. The presence of the inhibitors propene, cyclohexene, and/or toluene had no effect on the rates. The reactions are homogeneous, unimolecular, and obey a first-order rate law. The rate coefficients are given by the following Arrhenius equations: for 4-(methylthio)-1-butyl acetate, log k1(s-1) = (12.32 ± 0.29) - (192.1 ± 3.6) kJ/mol/2.303RT; for 1-chloro-4-(methylthio)-butane, log k1(s-1) = (12.23 ± 0.59) - (175.7 ± 6.8) kJ/mol/2.303RT. The CH3S substituent in 1-chloro-4-(methylthio)-butane has been found to participate in the elimination reaction, where tetrahydrothiophene and methyl chloride formation may result from an intimate ion-pair type of mechanism. The yield of a cyclic product in gas phase reactions provides additional evidence of an intimate ion pair mechanism through neighboring group participation in gas phase elimination of special types of organic halides.

    Notes: The kinetics of the permanganate oxidation of formic acid in aqueous perchloric acid at 30°C were examined by the spectrophotometric method. The chemical reaction 2MnO4- + 3HCOOH + 2H+ → 2MnO2 + 3CO2 + 4H2O, appears to proceed via several parallel reactions. The overall rate equation has been obtained by using statistical multilinear regression analysis of the 660 cases studied, and the presence in the rate equation of two new terms in relation to previous studies shows that both permanganate autocatalytic effects and acid media inhibition must be taken into account when the reaction proceeds at constant ionic strength.

    Notes: A previous technique for the calculation of rate constants for the gas-phase reactions of the OH radical with organic compounds has been updated and extended to include sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds. The overall OH radical reaction rate constants are separated into individual processes involving (a) H-atom abstraction from C—H and O—H bonds in saturated organics, (b) OH radical addition to 〉C=C〈 and —C≡C— unsaturated bonds, (c) OH radical addition to aromatic rings, and (d) OH radical interaction with —NH2, 〉NH, 〉N—, —SH, and —S— groups. During its development, this estimation technique has been tested against the available database, and only for 18 out of a total of ca. 300 organic compounds do the calculated and experimental room temperature rate constants disagree by more than a factor of 2. This suggests that this technique has utility in estimating OH radical reaction rate constants at room temperature and atmospheric pressure of air, and hence atmospheric lifetimes due to OH radical reaction, for organic compounds for which experimental data are not available. In addition, OH radical reaction rate constants can be estimated over the temperature range ca. 250-1000 K for those organic compounds which react via H-atom abstraction from C—H and O—H bonds, and over the temperature range ca. 250-500 K for compounds containing 〉C=C〈 bond systems.

    Notes: The thermal decomposition of pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and acetaldehyde is a unimolecular first-order reaction and takes place according to the rate equation, logk = 13.53-41,250/4.575 K. These parameters contrast markedly with those recently reported, viz. logk = 7.19-27,700/4.575 K and confirm that the latter, which gave an unacceptably low value for the frequency factor, are anomalous. The lower reactivity of pyruvic acid compared to oxalic acid is interpreted in terms of normal electronic effects.

    Notes: Using a laser pyrolysis/laser fluorescence method, we have measured the rate constants for OH reacting with 1-butene, t-2-butene, isobutene, and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene near 1200 K. The butene rate constants are large, ranging from 2.0-3.7 × 10-11 cm-3 s-1, and increase with the number of allylic hydrogens. Transition-state theory considerations indicate these allylic hydrogens are easily abstracted, in contrast to prior observations on propene.

    Notes: Kinetics and mechanism of the cerium(IV) oxidation of Cr(III) complexes of a series of macrocyclic (or pseudomacrocyclic) ligands with [14]-membered intraligand ring-sizes have now been investigated at I = 1.0 M (LiClO4) Temp. 30°C. The complexes of the formulation Cr(macrocycle)(X)(H2O)(3-n)+ where X = CHCl2 and H2O, n = 0 or 1 undergo oxidation to Cr(VI) with the formation of chromium(IV) intermediates. The observed kinetic parameters for the Ce(IV) oxidation of Cr(III) macrocyclic complexes have been discussed in terms of changes brought about by the macrocyclic ligands on the Cr(III) - Cr(IV) redox potentials and in specific rates for Cr(IV) - Cr(V) conversion. On the basis of this study, it has been suggested that the trapping of Cr(IV) is easier when a macrocyclic ligand having a symmetrical intra-ligand ring size and unsaturation in the cyclic structure is coordinated equatorially. Cyclic voltammetric studies indicate the formation of Cr(IV) transient in the case of electrochemical oxidation of trans-Cr(Me4[14]tetraene)(H2O)23+.

    Notes: Rate constants for the gas-phase reactions of NO3 radicals with a series of alkynes, haloalkenes, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes have been determined at 298 ± 2 K using a relative rate technique. Using rate constants for the reactions of NO3 radicals with ethene and propene of (1.1 ± 0.5) × 10-16 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and (7.5 ± 1.6) × 10-15 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, respectively, the following rate constants (in units of 10-16 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were obtained: acetylene, ≤0.23; propyne, 0.94 ± 0.44; vinyl chloride, 2.3 ± 1.1; 1,1-dichloroethene, 6.6 ± 3.1; cis-1,2-dichloroethene, 0.75 ± 0.35; trans-1,2-dichloroethene, 0.57 ± 0.27; trichloroethene, 1.5 ± 0.7; tetrachloroethene, 〈0.4; allyl chloride, 2.9 ± 1.3; acrolein, 5.9 ± 2.8; and crotonaldehyde, 41 ± 9. The atmospheric implications of these data are discussed.

    Notes: The kinetics of the Diels-Alder additions of CH2 = CHCN, CH2 = C(CH3) CN, and cis- and trans-CH3CH = CHCN to cyclohexa-1, 3-diene have been studied in the gas phase. The stereochemistry of these reactions is discussed. In terms of a biradical mechanism, a minimum value of 4.1 ± 0.8 kcal mol-1 for the stabilizing effect of a CN group vis-à-vis a methyl group is shown to fit the experimental activation energies.

    Notes: Absolute rate constants have been measured for the reactions of trichloromethylperoxyl radicals with cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and hexamethylbenzene. The CCl3O2 radicals were produced by pulse radiolysis of air-saturated CCl4 solutions containing various amounts of the hydrocarbons. The rate constants were determined by competition with the one-electron oxidation of metalloporphyrins, using the rate of formation of the metalloporphyrin radical cation absorption to monitor the reaction by kinetic spectrophotometry. The rate constants for hydrogen abstraction from cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and hexamethylbenzene were found to be 1 × 103, 1.0 × 105, and 7.5 × 104 M-1 s-1, respectively.

    Notes: Experimental data for the reaction of O atoms with NH3 have been reviewed with particular attention to the possible effects of secondary reactions on the deduced rate coefficient. A reaction mechanism was assembled and computer calculations carried out to simulate several sets of experiments. The sensitivity of the calculations to uncertainties in the various rate coefficients was assessed. Transition-state theory calculations were carried out on the rate coefficient k1 for the O + NH3 → OH + NH2 reaction. These studies suggest that the reaction stoichiometry is dependent on temperature, initial reagent ratios, and extent of reaction; that available data are not sufficient to determine whether the initial step is H-atom abstraction (producing OH and NH2 radicals) or O-atom addition (producing an NH3O* complex): and that the low temperature values of k1 (T ≤ 400 K) are not consistent with values deduced at higher temperatures if the reaction proceeds by H-atom abstraction. Taking all the evidence into account, it is recommended that the expression 1.1 × 103 T2.1 exp(-2620/T) L mol-1 s-1 be used for k1 until more definitive experimental measurements are made at low temperatures.

    Notes: By allowing the t-butoxy radical to decompose in the presence of nitric oxide, it has been possible to determine rate constants for decomposition by the measurements of the relative rates (2) and (3) Process (3) is clearly pressure dependent. The value of k3(∞) has been determined in the presence of several inert gases (CF4, SF6, N2, and Ar) and a value of k3 interpolated for atmospheric conditions. The results may be compared with those for other relevant alkoxy radicals at room temperature. Extrapolated values for k3 in the presence of CF4 lead to the result \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_3 (\infty)/s^{ - 1} = 10^{14.6 \pm 0.6} \exp (- 8052 \pm 604/T) $$\end{document}

    Notes: Disproportionation-combination rate constant ratios, kd/kc, have been determined for R + RCH2CHCl and for the auto disproportionation-combination of RCH2CHCl radicals, R = CF3, C2F5, and C3F7. The kd/kc for R = CF3 and to a lesser degree for R = C2F5 and C3F7 were very sensitive to the surface/volume ratio of the reaction vessel suggesting a heterogeneous component for disproportionation.

    Notes: The average downward energy transfer (〈Δ Edown〉) is obtained for highly vibrationally excited acetyl chloride with Ne and C2H4 bath gases at ca. 870 K. Data are obtained by the technique of very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP). Fitting these data by solution of the appropriate reaction-diffusion integrodifferential master equation yields the gas/gas collisional energy transfer parameters: 〈Δ Edown〉 values are 220 ± 10 cm-1 (Ne bath gas) and 330 ± 20 cm-1 (C2H4).These energy transfer quantities are much less than those predicted by statistical theories, or those observed for similar sized molecules such as CH3CH2Cl. These results are explained by the qualitative predictions of the biased random walk model wherein the fundamental mechanism of energy transfer is the multiple interactions between the bath gas and the individual atoms of the reactant molecule, during the course of the collision event. The charge distribution of acetyl chloride decreases the number of such interactions, thereby reducing the amount of energy transferred per collision.

    Notes: A new approach is presented for analyzing kinetic models of relaxation-type oscillatory systems on the basis of numerical data. Feature sensitivities of the length of the two kinetic states of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction with respect to the rate constants of the model are explained by means of a logic-based inference system. The main kinetic roles of the individual reaction steps on the relaxing components are revealed, and a consistent interpretation of the kinetic states is given by this process. Both the high and the low set of rate constants were studied. According to our analysis, the bromous acid-hypobromous acid reaction is an important Br- producing step of the model, and in the case of the low set, the bromate-bromous acid reaction is not the rate-determining step of the bromous acid autocatalysis.

    Notes: Ethyl 4-chlorobutyrate, which is reexamined, pyrolyzes at 350-410°C to ethylene, butyrolactone, and HCl. Under the reaction conditions, the primary product 4-chlorobutyric acid is responsible for the formation of γ-butyrolactone and HCl. In seasoned vessels, and in the presence of a free-radical inhibitor, the ester elimination is homogeneous, unimolecular, and follows a first-order rate law. For initial pressures from 69-147 Torr, the rate is given by the following Arrhenius expression: log k1(s-1) = (12.21 ± 0.26) - (197.6 ± 3.3) kJ mol-1 (2.303RT)-1. The rates and product formation differ from the previous work on the chloroester pyrolysis.4-Chlorobutyric acid, an intermediate product of the above substrate, was also pyrolyzed at 279-330°C with initial pressure within the range of 78-187 Torr. This reaction, which yields γ-butyrolactone and HCl, is also homogeneous, unimolecular, and obeys a first-order rate law. The rate coefficient, is given by the following Arrhenius equation: log k1(s-1) = (12.28 ± 0.41) - (172.0 ± 4.6) kJ mol-1 (2.303RT)-1. The pyrolysis of ethyl chlorobutyrate proceeds by the normal mechanism of ester elimination. However, the intermediate 4-chlorobutyric acid was found to yield butyrolactone through anchimeric assistance of the COOH group and by an intimate ion pair-type of mechanism. Additional evidence of cyclic product and neighboring group participation is described and presented.

    Notes: Intranuclear inclusions have been found in epithelial cells of renal proximal convoluted tubules (RPCT) in lead poisoned animals. It has been suggested previously that the inclusions contained lead. The present report gives evidence to the contrary. Samples of renal cortex were taken from adult rats fed laboratory chow containing 2% lead acetate for 1 month. Under the electron microscope (EM), intranuclear inclusions were observed in epithelial cells of RPCT. They were round or ovoid, and not delineated by a membrane. They consisted of two parts: Peripheral and central. Lysosomes increased in number, and many myelin figures appeared in the cytoplasm. In the lumen of the tubules, high electron-dense concretions were found. By x-ray microranalysis, neither the central part nor the peripheral part of the intranuclear inclusions produced a lead peak in the spectrum. Lysosomes and the cytoplasmic matrix also showed no lead peak. However, when the electron beam was focused on the concretion in the lumen of the RPCT, the Lα peak of lead (10.551 keV) and Kα peak of calcium (3.691 keV) were evident. From these findings it is suggested that intranuclear inclusions in the cells of RPCT are not lead deposits. Rather, it is the concretions found in the lumen of tubule that contain lead.

    Notes: Using rotary replication with platinum and carbon to embedment-free sections of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-embedded tissue from which PEG had been removed, the membrane specializations on the outer (exoplasmic) and inner (protoplasmic) cell surface as well as the organization of the cytoskeleton was demonstrated. The high quality and excellent preservation were comparable to that obtained by the rapid-freezing, deep-etched replica method. The present results indicate that the PEG method is essentially acceptable as a reliable morphological technique. Because either sectioned or replica images from the same tissue cells can be observed simultaneously, the PEG method with rotary replication should provide valuable information on cell ultrastructure.

    Notes: We report findings of a transmission electron microscopic study comparing the morphological appearance of cells and extracellular matrix of two fibrocartilaginous regions of canine flexor digitorum profoundus (FDP) tendon with that for typical tendinous regions. In addition, we determined the size distribution of collagen fibrils in six anatomical areas of the tendon from animals of three different ages. Average collagen fibril diameters for each of the six anatomical sites of 11-week-old FDP tendon were consistently different from that for older tissue. As growth proceeds, fibrils in tendinous regions almost double in size and take on a broad bimodal distribution. Collagen diameters in fibrocartilaginous areas do not increase, but rather decrease in size with age. Finally, the cells and associated pericellular matrix of fibrocartilaginous areas of adolescent and mature FDP tendon are ultrastructurally distinct from those of typical tendinous regions. On the contrary, the cellular morphology of 11-week-old tendon was invariant regardless of the anatomical region examined. In summary, fibrocartilage of canine FDP tendon, although not evident at 11 weeks of age, is well established by 6-12 months after birth and is the result of cellular and extracellular matrix specialization.

    Notes: Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and ultrastructural cytochemistry were utilized to study megakaryoblastic cells from four patients suffering from megakaryoblastic leukemia. The results show that megakaryoblastic leukemic cells have a unique ultrastructural appearance, surface architecture, and cytochemical activity. The cells are positive for platelet peroxidase cytochemical reaction, which is localized in the perinuclear space and endoplastic reticulum, but not in the Golgi apparatus and cytoplasmic granules. They have a rather smooth surface and display blebs or tuberculi which are different from those in other types of leukemic cells as seen under the scanning electron microscope. The megakaryoblastic leukemic cells also show a special appearance under the transmission electron microscope, such as a cytoplasm which contains numerous small mitochondria, mostly concentrated in one pole of the cell. These ultrastructural and cytochemical characteristics of the megakaryoblastic leukemic cells revealed by the combined techniques are very useful in the diagnosis of megakaryoblastic leukemia.

    Notes: Large myelinated club ending and small-vesicle bouton synapses on the distal part of the lateral dendrite of the goldfish Mauthner cell were investigated with thin section, freeze-fracture, and immunocytochemical electron microscopic methods. Large myelinated club endings form mixed synapses, having both gap junctions and chemical synaptic junctions. The correlation of the number of gap junction particles (connexons) and the data from electrophysiological studies of single large myelinated club ending synapses suggest that only a small fraction of gap junction channels are open at any given time during electrical synaptic transmission. The chemical synaptic junctions at the large myelinated club ending synapse have large, round synaptic vesicles, indicating that they are excitatory. This result is in agreement with electrophysiological data demonstrating the excitatory nature of this chemical synapse. Freeze-fracture of these excitatory chemical synaptic junctions reveals the presence of the intramembrane particle aggregates in the postsynaptic E face.Small-vesicle boutons form chemical synaptic junctions with small, flat or oval synaptic vesicles. These structural data, in combination with previous electrophysiological studies, suggest that the small-vesicle bouton synapses are inhibitory. In support of this theory, the cytoplasmic side of the postsynaptic membrane of some of these synapses show positive immunocytochemical reaction to monoclonal antibodies against the rat glycine receptor. Freeze-fracture data reveal intramembrane particle aggregates in the postsynaptic P face of some small-vesicle bouton synapses which could possibly represent glycine receptor aggregates.

    Notes: We have prepared software for producing three-dimensional reconstructions from serial micrographs using an IBM PC or compatible. The software can be configured for a variety of graphics board and digitizing tablet combinations.Data is entered into the program by digitizing contours directly from micrographs. The program can handle up to 2,000 contours per data file, of up to 255 object types. Morphometric information such as line length, perimeter, and area are generated for each contour. The reconstruction program aligns the plane information from each section and displays the final reconstruction on a high resolution (640 × 400 pixels) color monitor. Object types can be differentiated by line width, line color, and fill color. Hidden line processing and conditional fill routines make it possible to produce reconstructions with either a solid or semi-transparent appearance. Reconstructions can be generated quite rapidly from any viewing angle in the X, Y, and Z axes. The program has proven valuable for the elucidation of the three-dimensional nature of biological structures.

    Notes: A new determination of the disproportionation/combination ratio for C2F5 and C2H5 radicals gives a value of Δ(C2F5, C2H5) = 0.24 ± 0.02, independent of temperature. The cross-combination ratio for the two radicals was found to increase with temperature and the significance of this is discussed in evaluating Δ.

    Notes: Absolute rate constants were determined for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with a series of aliphatic alcohols using the flash photolysis resonance fluorescence technique. Experiments were performed over the temperature range 240-440 K at total pressures (using Ar diluent gas) between 25-50 Torr. The kinetic data for methanol (k1), ethanol (k2), and 2-propanol (k3) were used to derive the Arrhenius expressions \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_1 = (4.8 \pm 1.2) \times 10^{ - 12} \exp [- (480 \pm 70)/T]\,{\rm cm}^3\, {\rm molecule}^{ - 1} {\rm s}^{ - 1} $$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_2 = (7.4 \pm 3.2) \times 10^{ - 12} \exp [- (240 \pm 110)/T]{\rm cm}^3 {\rm molecule}^{ - 1} {\rm s}^{ - 1} $$\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_3 = (5.8 \pm 1.9) \times 10^{ - 12} \exp [- (30 \pm 90)/T]\,{\rm cm}^3\, {\rm molecule}^{ - 1} {\rm s}^{ - 1} $$\end{document} At 296 K, the measured rate constants (in units of 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were: k1 = (8.61 ± 0.47), k2 = (33.3 ± 2.3), and k3 = (58.1 ± 3.4). Room temperature rate constants for the OH reactions with several other aliphatic alcohols were also measured. These were (in the above units): 1-propanol, (53.4 ± 2.9); 1-butanol, (83.1 ± 6.3) and 1-pentanol, (108 ± 11). The results are discussed in terms of the mechanisms for these reactions and are compared to previous literature data.

    Notes: The pyrolyses of cyanomethyl t-butyl sulfide and its oxygen homologue have been studied in a stirred-flow system over the temperature range 490-540°C and pressures between 5 and 14 Torr. In both cases, isobutene is formed as product in over 97% yield. Hydrogen sulfide is obtained in about half the amount of isobutene in the pyrolysis of the sulfide. Hydrogen cyanide is formed in the pyrolysis of the ether. The first-order rate coefficients for the consumption of the reactants followed the Arrhenius equations Cyanomethyl t-butyl sulfide: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k({\rm s}^{ - 1}) = 10^{12.63 \pm 0.23} \exp (- 201.7 \pm 3.5)\,{\rm kj}/{\rm mol }\,RT $$\end{document} Cyanomethyl t-butyl ether: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k({\rm s}^{ - 1}) = 10^{11.27 \pm 0.30} \exp (- 186 \pm 5)\,{\rm kj}/{\rm mol }\,RT $$\end{document}A molecular mechanism involving polar four-centered cyclic transition states is proposed for both reactions, with the CN group stabilizing the partial negative charge developed at the S and O atoms.

    Notes: Using a relative rate technique, rate constants have been determined for the gas-phase reactions of Cl atoms with the cholorethenes and ethane at 298 ± 2 K and 735 torr total pressure of air. Using a rate constant of 1.97 × 10-10 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 for the reaction of Cl atoms with n-butane, the following rate constants (in units of 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were obtained: vinyl chloride, 12.7 ± 0.2; 1,1-dichloroethene, 14.0 ± 0.2; cis-1,2-dichloroethene, 9.65 ± 0.10; trans-1,2-dichloroethene, 9.58 ± 0.18; trichloroethene, 8.08 ± 0.10; tetrachloroethene, 4.13 ± 0.23; and ethane, 6.17 ± 0.08 (where the indicated error limits do not include the uncertainties in the rate constant for n-butane). A small amount of cis-trans isomerization was observed for the reactions involving the cis- and trans-1,2-dichloroethenes. These data are compared and discussed with the available literature data.

    Notes: The pyrolysis of acetylene-styrene mixtures has been studied from 450-550°C in a quartz reaction vessel in the absence and presence of O2 or NO. The rates of disappearance of reactants and formation of adducts are first-order in each reactant. The major product is polymer, with the adducts accounting for about 2.5% and 6.2% of the styrene removed at 450 and 550°C, respectively. The acetylene-to-styrene removal ratio is about 27 independent of temperature. The adducts formed are methyl indene and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene. These are about half-suppressed in the presence of O2 or NO. The rate coefficients for reactant removal and adduct formation are: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log \{ k\{ {\rm C}_{\rm 2} {\rm H}_{\rm 2} \},M^{ - 1} {\rm s}^{ - 1} \} = 7.53 \pm 0.10 - (90.6 \pm 1.5)/2.3RT $$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log \{ k\{ {\rm C}_{\rm 8} {\rm H}_{\rm 8} \},M^{ - 1} {\rm s}^{ - 1} \} = 6.63 \pm 0.60 - (98.5 \pm 8.8)/2.3{\rm }\,RT $$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log \{ k\{ {\rm C}_{{\rm 10}} {\rm H}_{{\rm 10}} \},M^{ - 1} {\rm s}^{ - 1} \} = 8.27 \pm 0.66 - (143.3 \pm 9.8)/2.3RT $$\end{document} where the activation energies are in kJ/mol and the uncertainties are one standard deviation. As the reaction proceeds, the methyl indene and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene decompose, and indene and naphthalene are formed. In addition, an unidentified isomer of naphthalene is produced as an initial minor product, and it also decomposes as the reaction proceeds.

    Notes: An analysis of thermochemical and kinetic data on the bromination of the halomethanes CH4-nXn (X = F, Cl, Br; n = 1-3), the two chlorofluoromethanes, CH2FCl and CHFCl2, and CH4, shows that the recently reported heats of formation of the radicals CH2Cl, CHCl2, CHBr2, and CFCl2, and the C—H bond dissociation energies in the matching halomethanes are not compatible with the activation energies for the corresponding reverse reactions. From the observed trends in CH4 and the other halomethanes, the following revised ΔH°f,298 (R) values have been derived: ΔH°f(CH2Cl) = 29.1 ± 1.0, ΔH°f(CHCl2) = 23.5 ± 1.2, ΔHf(CH2Br) = 40.4 ± 1.0, ΔH°f(CHBr2) = 45.0 ± 2.2, and ΔH°f(CFCl2) = -21.3 ± 2.4 kcal mol-1. The previously unavailable radical heat of formation, ΔH°f(CHFCl) = -14.5 ± 2.4 kcal mol-1 has also been deduced. These values are used with the heats of formation of the parent compounds from the literature to evaluate C—H and C—X bond dissociation energies in CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CH3Br, CH2Br2, CH2FCl, and CHFCl2.

    Notes: Kinetic studies on the oxidation of carbon monoxide have been carried out between 413 and 473 K at different partial pressures of carbon monoxide and oxygen by means of the static method using vacuum-activated, hydrogen-reduced, and NiO-doped In2O3 semiconductors as catalysts. A strong carbon dioxide inhibiting effect is observed. The experimental data satisfactorily fit an equation derived by assuming the controlling step to be the adsorption of gaseous oxygen on the surface of catalyst. CO and CO2 adsorb on the lattice oxygens (Oo2-), while O2 adsorbs on the oxygen vacancies (Vox) formed by vacuum-activation, H2-reduction, and NiO-doping of In2O3. When CO2 formed during the reaction is removed by means of liquid nitrogen trap, the oxidation is found to be first-order with respect to CO and to be half-order with respect to O2. The concentration of oxygen vacancy in the solid catalyst is shown to be the controlling factor for the oxidation of carbon monoxide. A possible reaction mechanism can be explained by the n-type character of In2O3 and proposed from the experimentally obtained kinetic data and conductivities.

    Notes: The reaction of OH and OD radicals with ethylene in the presence of 1 atm argon and 6 Torr water vapor was studied in the temperature range 343-1173 K. The results reveal three kinetically separate temperature regions: (1) 343-563 K, where the disappearance of OH radical is dominated by the addition of OH to the double bond of ethylene; (2) 563-748 K, where concurrent reactions of addition, the reverse reaction of addition and H-atom abstraction is dominant; and (3) 748-1173 K, where H-atom abstraction is likely the main reaction. The rate for hydrogen abstraction is 2.4 × 10-11 exp[(-2104 ± 125)/T] cm3/molec-s (for OD 2.1 × 10-11 exp[(-2130 ± 172)/T] cm3/molec-s). There was no obvious pyrolysis of ethylene below 1073 K. The study of OD radical with ethylene shows a small isotope effect.

    Notes: A recently published kinetic model of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction was studied by the feature sensitivity analysis of the slow bromide consumption and slow bromide production periods of the relaxing-type oscillatory system. The computed sensitivities allowed us to reveal the kinetic importance of the 17 individual reactions during the two, “kinetically homogeneous” states of the oscillation. Similarities and differences in the relative kinetic importances of the reaction steps were carefully studied when changing the magnitude of the rate constants (high set and low set). Of the 17 reactions examined, the attack of Ce4+ on malonic acid proved to be an essential step of the mechanism. Using the low set, there emerge more reactions which significantly affect the length of the two kinetic states.

    Notes: Following earlier room-temperature studies, gaseous mixtures of methyl cyclobutyl ketone (MCK) diluted in argon have been photolyzed at temperatures up to 205°C. Experiments have been carried out at a variety of pressures (up to ca. 2 atm) at wavelengths of 313 nm (steady state conditions) and 308 nm (pulsed photolysis). The results are consistent with a mechanism dominated by radical-radical reactions involving acetyl, methyl, and cyclobutyl radicals. Acetyl radical processes predominate at lower temperatures while methyl radical reactions are more important at high temperatures.The results are interpreted via kinetic modelling of a mechanism in which a key role is played by the acetyl radical decomposition reaction \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ ({\rm M} +)\,{\rm CH}_{\rm 3} {\rm CO}\mathop {\longrightarrow}\limits^{\rm 3} {\rm CH}_{\rm 3} + {\rm CO\, (+ M)} $$\end{document} Values for k3 have been obtained and its temperature and pressure dependence are fitted by RRKM theory and a weak-collisional activation model to yield \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm log(}k_3 ^\infty /{\rm s}^{ - 1}) = 13.3 - 17.5{\rm\, kcal\, mol}^{{\rm - 1}} /RT\ln 10 $$\end{document} This high-pressure limiting Arrhenius equation is consistent with other studies in the same temperature range, but is difficult to reconcile with higher temperature investigations.

    Notes: The mechanism of ligand substitution in 17- and 19-electron organometallic radicals is discussed. These species substitute ligands by an associative process some 106 to 1010 faster than analogous 18-electron complexes. When 17-electron species can be generated by bond homolysis or electron transfer reactions of 18-electron complexes, they can act as intermediates in radical chain reactions of 18-electron complexes. A 17-19 electron rule is proposed to explain transformations of organometallic radicals just as the 16-18 electron rule finds use for closed shell organometallic complexes. The origin of this rule is the favorable two-center three-electron bond that can form when an odd electron in a sterically accessible metal d-orbital interacts with an electron pair on an entering nucleophile. Besides simple substitution, these radicals can disproportionate, dimerize, and undergo insertion or atom abstraction reactions.

The rate constants were fitted by the Arrhenius equation k = (11.8 ± 2.2) × 10-12 exp[-(236 ± 150)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1 with k = (5.5 ± 1.0) × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K. Our results are in good agreement with the lower range of values reported previously. The observation of a small positive activation energy agrees well with that reported by Hynes et al. The rate constant was not affected by the total pressure variation (0.8-3.0 torr) or by the addition of oxygen (up to 1 torr) in the flow tube.

    Notes: Br atoms produced in a microwave discharge react abnormally rapidly with isobutane to produce HBr + t-Butyl. A VLPR study of the system at high Br atom concentration (Br ˜ 1013/cc) between 298 and 363 K permits one to separate the effects of excited atoms, Br* (2P1/2) from ground state atoms, Br (2P3/2). Rate constants for the latter agree well with bromination measurements and permit fixing ΔHƒ2980(tBu) at 9.5 ± 0.5kcal/mol in agreement with earlier work.

    Notes: The gas phase reaction of N2O5 with water vapor was investigated in a 17.3-m3 Teflon lined chamber. Temporal concentration profiles for ozone, total nitrogen oxides, and nitrogen dioxide were measured. Concentration profiles for N2O5 and HNO3 were calculated from a combination of measurements of nitrogenous species. A kinetic mechanism with an adjustable value for the rate constant of N2O5 + H2O was used to model the experiments. From this analysis an upper limit value of k ≤ 4 × 10-7 ppm-1 min-1 for the gas phase reaction N2O5 + H2O → 2HNO3 was derived.

    Notes: Reactions which proceed through energized adducts, including radical recombinations, insertions, and addition to unsaturates, frequently exhibit unusual kinetic behavior. The branching ratios among various product channels are often complex functions of both temperature and pressure. Four such reactions involving methyl radicals are analyzed by combining chemical activation distribution functions with QRRK methods to predict rate constants for each channel. These include three oxidation paths, CH3 + O, CH3 + O2, CH3 + OH, and the addition reaction CH3 + C2H2. These predictions are compared to experiments wherever possible; generally, the agreement is quite satisfactory. Analysis of the energetics of the various reaction channels, using parameters which are readily available, provides a convenient framework for prediction. Suggested rate constants for the various channels for the four reactions are given at three pressures, 20, 760, and 7600 Torr, for the temperature range 300-2500 K. The approach used here can easily be applied to other reactions.

    Notes: The direct photolysis of bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-diene in the gas phase at 280-300 nm produces mainly 1,3,5-cyclooctatriene and benzene plus ethylene. The yield of the former product is enhanced by added gases, and it is proposed that it is formed in a vibrationally excited state which can revert to bicyclooctadiene unless the excess energy is removed in collisions. Computer modelling of the direct photolysis yielded quantitative agreement with the experimental results, but only when large, arbitrary adjustments were made to the calculated rate constants for the interconversion of cyclooctratriene and bicyclooctadiene. The Hg(63P1) sensitized reaction of bicyclooctadiene produces mainly benzene plus ethylene, a process which is also enhanced by added gases.

    Notes: Absolute rate coefficients for the reactions of the hydroxyl radical with dimethyl ether (k1) and diethyl ether (k2) were measured over the temperature range 295-442 K. The rate coefficient data, in the units cm3 molecule-1 s-1, were fitted to the Arrhenius equations k1 (T) = (1.04 ± 0.10) × 10-11 exp[-(739 ± 67 cal mol-1)/RT] and k2(T) = (9.13 ± 0.35) × 10-12 exp[+(228 ± 27 kcal mol-1)/RT], respectively, in which the stated error limits are 2σ values. Our results are compared with those of previous studies of hydrogen-atom abstraction from saturated hydrocarbons by OH. Correlations between measured reaction-rate coefficients and C—H bond-dissociation energies are discussed.

    Notes: A simple collision theory model for reaction between two different radicals shows that the cross-reaction ratio, φ*, is 2 only if the masses and collision diameters of the radicals are identical; for all other combinations of mass and size, φ* is greater than 2. The value of φ* is shown to depend simply on the ratios of the masses and diameters of the two radicals: which of the two is the heavier or larger is unimportant.Calculated and experimental values of φ* are compared for several systems involving small alkyl and fluoroalkyl radicals, and the relationship between φ* and φ, the cross-combination ratio, is discussed.

    Notes: The gas-phase reaction of the NO3 radical with NO2 was investigated, using a flash photolysis-visible absorption technique, over the total pressure range 25-400 Torr of nitrogen or oxygen diluent at 298 ± 2 K. The absolute rate constants determined (in units of 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) at 25, 100, and 400 Torr total pressure were, respectively, (4.0 ± 0.5), (7.0 ± 0.7), and (10 ± 2) for M = N2 and (4.5 ± 0.5), (8.0 ± 0.4), and (8.8 ± 2.0) for M = O2. These data show that the third-body efficiencies of N2 and O2 are identical, within the error limits, and that previous evaluations for M = N2 are applicable to the atmosphere. In addition, upper limits were determined for the rate constants of the reactions of the NO3 radical with methanol, ethanol, and propan-2-ol of ≤6 × 10-16, ≤9 × 10-16, and ≤2.3 × 10-15 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, respectively, at 298 ± 2 K.

    Notes: We present a kinetic study of the reaction of ground state silicon atoms with halogenated unsaturated organic compounds (R). Si(33PJ) was generated by the repetitive pulsed irradiation of SiCl4 in the presence of excess helium buffer gas and the reactant R in a slow flow system, kinetically equivalent to a static system. The ground state atom was monitored by time-resolved atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy at λ = 252 nm [Si(43PJ) ← Si(33PJ)] on time scales by which the optically metastable tates,Si(31D2) and Si(31S0) had relaxed to the 3P state, using signal averaging methods. Computerized fitting of the resulting atomic decay traces in the presence of the various reactants, R, yielded the following new body of absolute second-order rate constants (kR, T = 300 K, errors = 2sigma;): TextRkR/cm3 molecule-1 s-1C2F41.6 ± 0.2 × 10-10C2Cl49.9 ± 1.7 × 10-10CH2CF24.0 ± 0.6 × 10-10CHClCCl27.0 ± 1.1 × 10-10CF3CH—CH24.6 ± 0.5 × 10-10C6H64.4 ± 1.0 times; 10-10C6F64.4 ± 0.6 × 10-10C6HF54.6 ± 1.3 × 10-10C6H2F43.9 ± 0.8 × 10-10C6F5 - CF35.1 ± 0.6 × 10-10These data are compared, where appropriate, with analogous data for unsaturated hydrocarbon organic compounds.

    Notes: A steady-state system involving the photolysis of NO2 in an excess of I2 as a source of IO radicals has been used to study the reaction IO + DMS in 760 Torr N2 at 296 K. IO radicals were found to react rapidly with DMS, one molecule of DMSO being produced for each molecule of DMS consumed. Numerical analysis of the experimental results yielded a rate constant of (3.0 ± 1.5) × 10-11 cm3 s-1 for the reaction IO + DMS → DMSO + I.

    Notes: Rates of acidic hydrolysis of hexano-, octano-, and decanohydroxamic acids and of 4-bromophenylaceto- and phenylacetohydroxamic acids have been determined in aqueous perfluorooctanoic acid - a reactive counterion surfactant system. Typical micellar catalysis was observed for the hydrolyses of the n-alkyl hydroxamic acids but not for the arylacetohydroxamic acids. The Arrhenius activation energy for hydrolysis of octano-hydroxamic acid is smaller above the cmc of the surfactant than it is below the cmc.

    Notes: The kinetics of the direct synthesis reaction (Si + 2CH3Cl → (CH3)2SiCl2) were measured on a Cu3Si alloy containing 1.2 atom % Zn. Reaction was carried out in a differential reactor (520-595 K, 1 atm) attached to an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) system. Auger spectroscopy was used to characterize the surface before and after reaction. Zinc does not significantly change the overall rate of reaction, but it changes selectivity to dimethyldichlorosilane (the desired product), surface composition, activation energies, and induction times. The rate of silicon diffusion to the surface is not limiting in the presence of zinc. Zinc is found to be a promoter for improved selectivity only in low concentrations, and only a fraction of the surface appears to be active for reaction. The kinetics appear relatively insensitive to the surface composition or the form of surface carbon. A Cu3Si surface with Zn is shown to be a good model catalyst for the direct synthesis reaction.

    Notes: We examine the kinetic model D. The differential equations describing this reaction scheme are cast in a nondimensional form and analyzed in four basic approximation regimes: a ‘pseudo-first order’ approximation valid for small values of the ratio of the initial concentrations of the reactants; an asymptotic solution valid for large values of k3; the standard steady state (Bodenstein) approximation; and an approximation to a second order system without intermediate. Interconnecting relationships between the various approximations derived are examined, and the approximations are compared to numerical solutions to the full equations. The results are assessed from the standpoint of the experimental kineticist, and it is suggested that the reaction studied, and consequently many other more complex reactions, may under certain circumstances be subject to non-unique interpretation.

    Notes: A general method has been developed for the determination of the differential energy distribution in nonthermally activated reacting systems. A series of known distributions and kinetic models has been used to test this method and to determine its efficacy. Application was then made to the kinetic data of energetic CH3CF2 18F formed by the substitution of F by 18F produced by nuclear recoil. The distribution obtained for this activated CH3CF2 18F is seen to be highly energetic with a median energy of 137.6 kcal mol-1 and with 33.1% of the molecules possessing energy in excess of 171 kcal mol-1. The shape of the calculated distribution suggests that there are two mechanisms for the formation of CH3CF2 18F from CH3CF3 and 18F, as well as that 62 kcal mol-1 is a lower limit to the kinetic energy needed by the 18F atom for this substitution to take place.

    Notes: A new, improved variant of the very low pressure reactor (VLPR) system with interchangeable discharge orifices was used for studying the compatibility of the chemical and physical processes occurring simultaneously. It is shown that the ratio of calculated and effective escape rate constants is a complex function of the reactor cell geometry for reactions of non-spherical symmetry.The test reaction of atomic chlorine with methane proved to be a pure chemical process free of side reactions and was used to calibrate the system. The measured rate constant is k1 = (0.993 ± 0.013) × 10-13 cm3/molec-s at 25°C. A new procedure is outlined for measuring the equilibrium constant by changing the concentrations of all three components resulting in a remarkable accuracy of K1 = 1.406 ± 0.034 for the test reaction at 25°C.

    Notes: Absolute rate constants for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with ethane (k1), benzene (k2), fluorobenzene (k3), chlorobenzene (k4), bromobenzene (k5), iodobenzene (k6), and hexafluorobenzene (k7) have been measured over the temperature range 234-438 K using the flash photolysis resonance fluorescence technique. The rate constants measured at room temperature (296 K), at total pressures of argon diluent between 25 and 50 Torr, were (in units of 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1): k1 = (2.30 ± 0.26), k2 = (12.9 ± 1.4), k3 = (6.31 ± 0.81), k4 = (7.41 ± 0.94), k5 = (9.15 ± 0.97), k6 = (13.2 ± 1.6), and k7 = (1.61 ± 0.24), respectively. The indicated errors are our estimate of 95% confidence limits and include two standard deviations from the least-squares analysis together with an allowance for any possible systematic errors in the measurements. At elevated temperatures and under pseudo-first-order reaction conditions, non-exponential hydroxyl radical decays were observed for benzene and the monosubstituted halo-aromatics. For ethane and hexafluorobenzene, exponential decays were observed over the complete temperature range and the data were fit by the Arrhenius expressions: k1 = (8.4 ± 3.1) × 10-12 exp[(-1050 ± 100)/T] and k7 = (1.3 ± 0.3) × 10-12 exp[(-610 ± 80)/T], respectively. The results are compared with previous literature data and the mechanistic implications are discussed.

    Notes: The first-order rate constants, k1, obtained for methanolysis and ethanolysis of phenyl salicylate (PSH) in aqueous mixed solvents, fit to a relationship: k1 = A1 · [ROH]T/(1 + A2[ROH]T) where A1 and A2 are the unknown parameters and [ROH]T is the total concentration of alkanol. It is proposed that the alkanolysis of PSH involves the preequilibrium formation of monomeric ROH from polymeric (ROH)n, followed by an intramolecular general base-catalysed nucleophilic attack by monomeric ROH on the carbonyl carbon of the ester. In the mixed solvents containing alkanol and MeCN, the k1 - [ROH]T profiles obtained in the presence of K+ ions are different from those obtained in the presence of Na+ ions which could be attributed to the cation-induced changes in the alkanol structure. Negative KCl salt effect has been observed on methanolysis of PSH, while it is essentially unaffected by the presence of tetraalkylammonium iodide salts (R4NI). The rates of ethanolysis of PSH have been found to increase with increase in [R4NI] and this increase becomes more pronounced with increasing hydrophobic surface area of R4NI. The rate constants for methanolysis of PSH in aqueous mixed solvents containing 80% MeOH (v/v) are independent of [ŌH] within the [ŌH] range of 0.01 to 0.15 M. The rate of methanolysis could not be detected within ca. 47 h in mixed solvents containing 96% HeOH (3.8% MeCN and 0.2% H2O), 80% MeOH (19.8% MeCN and 0.2% H2O), and 0.022 M HCl. It is concluded that for efficient transesterification, PSH should exist in ionized form. The reaction of PSH with MeOH is ca. 400 times faster than that with t-BuOH which could be ascribed to the most likely steric effect. The values of ΔH* and ΔS* obtained for methanolysis and ethanolysis are essentially independent of [ROH] within the ROH content of 20% to 96% for MeOH and 50% to 96% for EtOH. The effect of organic co-solvent on rate of hydrolysis of PSH could be explained in terms of organic co-solvent-induced water polarization.

    Notes: A one-parameter analytical potential energy function for β-bonds in free radicals is described, which accounts quantitatively for their observed stretching frequencies and the position and size of the activation barriers for their fission. It is shown that such a function can be used to characterize a priori the corresponding transition states by assuming that the structural and spectroscopic changes taking place along the minimum energy path track the development of pi bonding rather than following a simple exponential dependence on the reaction coordinate. This procedure, tested by comparing predicted A-factors and isotope effects with experimental data for alkyl radicals and ab-initio calculations on C2H5, fully encodes the basic features of radical decomposition reactions and provides a simple, realistic, and self-consistent technique for the estimation of their kinetic parameters.

    Notes: The thermal reactions of endo- and exo-5-cyanobicyclo-[2.2.2]oct-2-ene and their trans- and cis-6-methyl-substituted derivatives have been investigated in the gas phase between 518 and 630 K. Each product decomposes by two parallel first-order retro-Diels-Alder reactions, a main one with formation of cyclohexa-1,3-diene and a minor one with elimination of ethene. Slight isomerizations are also observed. The kinetic results can be explained in terms of a biradical mechanism. The rate-determining step is shown to depend on the amount of resonance energy in the biradical. Heats of formation and entropies of the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-enes studied are estimated.

    Notes: The standard deviations (σ) of the parameters of a single exponential function can vary strongly with the range of the data, the character of the underlying error structure and also with the inclusion or omission of the appropriate relative weights. These effects are studied quantitatively, for least squares analysis of uniformly spaced, ln-linearized simulated data. The parameters, k and A, extracted are less precise when weighting is omitted, increasingly so as the range of the data increases, particularly for the case of equal amplitude errors for each A exp(-kti) datum. The results, expressed as efficiencies (σ2[using weights]/σ2[omitting weights]), show 〈 1% efficiency in some cases. This is tantamount to ignoring 〉 99% of the data and treating the remainder with proper relative weighting.

    Notes: Benzylic H-atom abstraction rates by diphenylmethyl radicals from a series of donors were determined in nonpolar liquids at elevated temperatures. Relative rates were converted to absolute rates via available equilibrium constant data for the dimerization of diphenylmethyl radicals. Abstraction by diphenylmethyl from 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin) was studied over the temperature range 489-573 K. Its Arrhenius expression is 109.9±0.3 exp{-(10183 ± 373)/T} M-1 s-1. Abstraction from other donors was studied at 548 K. Rate constant values ranged from a low of 3.6 M-1 s-1 for toluene to a high of 3000 M-1 s-1 for 9, 10-dihydroanthracene. Similar reactions with the fluorenyl radical were also studied. In this case, relative rates were converted to absolute rates with an equilibrium constant for fluorenyl dimerization determined from the observed homolysis rate of the dimer and an assumed recombination rate. In addition, forward and reverse rate measurements yielded the equilibrium constant for hydrogen transfer between fluorenyl and diphenylmethyl. At 548 K, fluorenyl is favored by a factor of 13 over diphenylmethyl.

    Notes: The thermal decomposition of acetylene has been studied in the temperature and pressure regimes of 1900-2500 K and 0.3-0.55 atm using a shock tube coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. A series of mixtures varying from 1.0-6.2% C2H2 diluted in a Ne-Ar mixture yielded a carbon atom density range of 0.24-2.0 × 1017 atoms cm-3 in the reflected shock zone. Concentration profiles for C2H2, C4H2, and C6H2 were constructed during typical observation times of 750 μs. C8H2 and trace amounts of C4H3 were found in relatively low concentrations at the high-temperature end of this study. A mechanism for acetylene pyrolysis is proposed, which successfully models this work and the results obtained by several other groups employing a variety of analytical techniques. Two values of the heat of formation for C2H(134 ± 2 and 127 ± 1 kcal/mol) were employed in the modeling process; superior fits to the data were attained using the latter value. The initial step of acetylene decomposition involves competition between two channels. In mixtures (〈200 ppm) where the acetylene concentrations are less than 2.18 × 10-9 mol cm-3, the decay is predominantly first order with respect to C2H2; in mixtures 〉200 ppm, the dominant initial step is second order. The rate constant for the second-order reaction is described by the equation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k = 2 \times 10^{13} \exp\, {\rm }(- 44.5{\rm\, kcal/}RT){\rm cm}^{\rm 3}\, {\rm mol}^{{\rm - 1}} {\rm s}^{{\rm - 1}} $$\end{document}Benzene concentrations predicted by the model are below the TOF detectability limit. C4H3 was observed in the 6.2% C2H2 mixture in accordance with the proposed mechanism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The endochondral layer of labyrinthine bone of dog (Canis f. intermedius Woldrich) is examined by means of light and transmission electron microscopy. The osteocytes of the fine-fibred, alamellar “embryonic skein bone” (Meyer 1927) are surrounded by a fibre-less matrix. They correspond to osteocytes in long bones. Some of them are producing microfibrils according to formation of preosseous tissue which is called “intraosseous osteogenesis” (Knese 1970). Others are characterized by signs of micropetrosis or indicate osteocytic osteolysis. In the perivascular mesenchym of some vessels giant cells are visible which according to their ultrastructural characteristics are identified as osteoclasts. The occurrence of an embryonic type of bone in endochondral layer of otic capsule throughout life is discussed considering oxygenation via perivascular canalizition as well as biomechanical aspects.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Unseres Wissens ist dies die erste transmissionselektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung des normalen Labyrinthknochens. Hier wird die enchondrale Schicht beim Hund (Canis f. intermedius Woldrich) betrachtet, da menschliche Felsenbeine sich aufgrund postmortaler Veränderungen nicht für ultrastrukturelle Studien eignen. Im „zeitlebens embryonalen Strähnenknochen“ (Meyer 1927) sieht man Zellen, die in einem fibrillenfreien, perizellulären Hof unterschiedlicher Ausdehnung liegen. Diese entsprechen den Osteozyten in anderen Knochen. Einige dieser Zellen bilden Mikrofibrillen und sind zu einer „intraossären Osteogenese“ (Knese 1970) fähig. Andere Zellen bieten das Bild einer osteozytären Osteolyse. Auch kommt eine Mikropetrosis in nicht kanalisierten, perivaskulären Regionen vor. Im perivaskulären Mesenchym erkennt man vereinzelt Riesenzellen, die aufgrund ihrer Ultrastruktur als Osteoklasten zu bezeichnen sind. Das lebenslange Vorkommen des embryonalen Strähnenknochens in der Labyrinthkapsel wird unter Berücksichtigung biomechanischer Gesichtspunkte diskutiert. Dabei wird auch auf die perivaskuläre Kanalisierung des Strähnenknochens eingegangen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über zwei Fälle von Lhermitte-Duclos'scher Erkrankung bzw. diffuser Hypertrophie des Kleinhirns berichtet. Histopathologisch handelt es sich dabei um umschriebene Dysmorphien des Kleinhirns, die so charakteristisch sind, daß sie bei chirurgischer Exploration vom bloßen Auge erkannt werden können. Die vergröberten, hypertrophen Kleinhirnläppchen heben sich zudem durch eine unterschiedliche Färbung vom normalen Kleinhirn ab (Fig. 1). An Stelle der Körnerschicht gibt es dicht beieinanderliegende, dysplastische Ganglienzellen verschiedenen Typs (Fig. 3), die myelinisierte Axone (Fig. 7) in die dadurch stark myelinisierte Molekularschicht schicken. Die Purkinjezellschicht fehlt, die Marklamellen sind stark verschmälert. Die Läsion wird als Hamartom aufgefaßt; klinisch kann sie als Raumforderung der hinteren Schädelgrube in Erscheinung treten. Die Mehrzahl der Patienten mit diffuser Kleinhirnhypertrophie haben zusätzlich andere gehäuft vorkommende Läsionen wie Megalencephalie, Schädelund Skelettanomalien, benigne und maligne extracerebrale Tumoren u. a. m. Bei dem ersten Fall handelt es sich um einen 39jährigen Mann, der neben der diffusen Kleinhirnhypertrophie ein megalencephales Gehirn (2320 g) hatte, und an einem metastasierenden Coloncarcinom ad exitum gekommen ist. Im Alter von 34 Jahren ist eine 540 g schwere Struma entfernt worden. Die Ganglienzellnatur der dysplastischen Zellen der Körnerschicht ließ sich anhand des Nachweises von Synapsen (Fig. 6) und großen Nisslschollen (Fig. 5) elektronenmikroskopisch beweisen. Bei dem zweiten Fall handelt es sich um eine 74jährige Frau, deren Kleinhirnläsion — wie im ersten Fall — klinisch nicht in Erscheinung getreten ist. Die Aetiopathologie ist nicht bekannt. Die organoide Struktur der cerebellären Läsion, die häufige Vergesellschaftung mit Megalencephalie und anderen Mißbildungen, sowie das Vorkommen von familiären Fällen macht es wahrscheinlich, daß es sich dabei um eine Entwicklungsstörung handelt. Die Lhermitte-Duclos'sche Erkrankung ist selten. Meines Wissens sind zur Zeit insgesamt 42 Fälle bekannt geworden.
    Notes: Summary Two cases of Lhermitte-Duclos disease or diffuse hypertrophy of the cerebellum are presented. This brings the total number of such cases reported in the literature to 42. Pathologically the disease is characterized by a circumscribed cerebellar lesion consisting of thickening of the cortex with closely packed dysplastic ganglion cells in the granular layer and with large myelinated axons in the molecular layer. Purkinje cells are missing and the central white matter is greatly reduced. The first patient, a man 39 years of age, had, in association to the cerebellar lesion, a megalencephalic brain (2320 g). He had suffered from epilepsy since he was 24-years-old and died with metastasizing colon carcinoma. An electron microscopic study of the cerebellar lesion disclosed perikarya containing large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum, cell processes filled with coated and dense core vesicles. In addition, there were numerous enlarged myelinated axons in the molecular layer. The second patient, a woman 74 years of age, had a small area of diffuse hypertrophy of the left cerebellar hemisphere measuring one centimeter in diameter. Specific symptoms were very scant in the first case and absent in the second one indicating a very slow evolution — if any — of the disease process. The etiology and pathogenesis remain unknown. However, the organoid structure of the lesion, the frequent association of megalencephaly and other congenital abnormalities, and the occurrence of familiar cases would favor the disease being basically a developmental disorder.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A bilateral salpingectomy was performed at the time of vaginal hysterectomy in a pregnant patient sterilized 20 months earlier by application of Bleier clips to the fallopian tubes. Clip application to the left tube had been incomplete. Undisturbed tissue (left tube) and clipped tissue (right tube) were examined and compared by light and scanning electron microscopy. The segment of tube fully grasped by the clip had a completely detached lining epithelium with coarse and flattened mucosa, a loose stroma, and disorganized muscular bundles. The left tubal mucosa was normal, whereas the right tube was stenosed at the site of clip placement, with rigid walls and a 0.175 mm luminal diameter. With progressively greater stenosis toward the clip site, mucosal destruction increased. Polypoidal mucosal folds were seen, as well as fibrous adhesions between mucosal folds. These observations indicate that tissue damage is extensive enough after clip application to require excision of the damaged segment of tube and microsurgical re-anastomosis for reversal of sterilization.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das Untersuchungsgut, über welches hier eingehend berichtet wird, stammt von einer 37jährigen Schwangeren (8. Woche), bei welcher 20 Monate zuvor eine Sterilisation mit Bleier-Clips versucht worden war. Es ergab sich eine Indikation zur Hysterektomie mit bilateraler Salpingektomie, was uns erlaubte, die gewebliche Reaktion einer Tube, an der ein Bleier-Clip korrekt saß, mit der an der kontralateralen Tube, über welche die Schwangerschaft eingetreten war, zu vergleichen. Die Präparate wurden rasterelektronenmikroskopisch und anschließend an identischen Stellen desselben Blocks lichtmikroskopisch untersucht („post-scanning histology“). In der voll gefaßten rechten Tube war das luminale Epithel streckenweise von der Unterlage abgehoben, das Faltenrelief der Mucosa distal und proximal der Clipmarke vergröbert oder abgeflacht, das subepitheliale Bindegewebe aufgelockert und die Bündel der Muscularis auseinandergedrängt. Die nur partiell mitgefaßte und daher noch ausreichend durchgängige linke Tube war zwar stenosiert, jedoch abgesehen von Schwangerschaftszeichen ohne markante Veränderung des Epithels. In der durch der korrekt sitzenden Clip verschlossenen rechten Tube verengte sich die Stenose der Clipmarke trichterförmig von proximal wie von distal, ein solider Epithelstrang war lichtmikroskopisch jedoch durchgehend nachzuweisen. Schleimhautmikropolypen und narbige Überbrückungen des Faltenreliefs in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft des korrekt sitzenden Clips veranschaulichen, ebenso wie die narbigen Veränderungen der Tubenwand, daß eine funktionsfähige Wiederherstellung der Tubenkontinenz nach Entfernung eines zur temporären Sterilisierung applizierten Bleier-Clip kaum anders als durch eine mikrochirurgische Reanastomosierung nach Resektion der narbigen Stenose erwartet werden kann.

    Notes: Summary Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare, most of them being endocrinologically active and causing virilization. Their histogenesis and nomenclature are still under discussion. Six such tumors were identified in the Laboratory for Histopathology of the University Women's Hospital, Zürich. The clinical data as well as the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural features of these tumors are analysed and discussed. In an attempt to clarify their histogenesis, the ultrastructural features of these tumors have been compared with those of two granulosa cell tumors as well as with those of a testis in a patient with testicular feminization. Our own results and a study of published data suggest that Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors arise from ovarian stroma. Because of their obvious morphological similarities to testicular structures they should be termed “gonadal stromal tumors of android type”.

    Notes: Summary Terminal degeneration of cerebellar afferents in the ventral medial thalamic nucleus (VM) was studied in cats at the ultrastructural level after uni- or bilateral lesions in the brachium conjunctivum (BC). To achieve discrete lesions within the BC, a new very accurate stereotaxic technique was used. Numerous large terminals belonging to a population of so-called LR boutons were observed degenerating in the VM. The boutons displayed a wide variety of degenerative changes. Some revealed the features of the classical neurofilamentous type of degeneration. Others, although containing a slightly increased number of neurofilaments, featured much more prominently large numbers of coated vesicle shells and heavy accumulations of a flocculent electrondense material. Degeneration in a third group of boutons similar to some extent to the light type of degeneration was characterized by tight clumping of enormously swollen or distorted synaptic vesicles within a light matrix. At later stages, however, all these boutons were believed to become shrunken and electron-dense since intermediate stages between the light- and dark-appearing boutons were observed. The degenerating cerebellar boutons formed asymmetrical synaptic contacts. Groups of 3 or 4 boutons terminated upon dendrites of projection neurons synapsing more frequently on spines than on dendritic stems. The synaptic contacts between cerebellar boutons and the vesicle-containing dendrites of local circuit neurons were encountered as often if not more than the contacts on projection neuron dendrites. Triads consisting of cerebellar boutons and dendrites of both types of neurons were observed very regularly. This synaptic arrangement provides the anatomical basis for the modification of cerebellar input in the VM by interneurons.

    Notes: Summary Male Wistar rats were treated with high cortisol doses for 1 week. The dose administered daily was 15 mg per animal in group 1 (7 animals) and 30 mg in group 2 (7 animals). 7 rats served as control group. After cortisol treatment the body weights decreased due to skeletal muscle catabolism and the heart weights increased. Morphometric analysis of the left ventricular posterior papillary muscles gave evidence that the increased heart weights resulted from an increased number of mitochondria and an increased volume of the cytoplasm, whereas the myofibrillar mass was not affected. The surface area of inner mitochondrial membranes (+cristae mitochondriales) per myofibrillar unit volume increased from 15.7 μ2/μ3 to 21.3 μ2/μ3 in group 1 and 21.4 μ2/μ3 in group 2. Ultrastructural changes indicating myocardial cell damage were absent. Similar quantitative results have been reported to occur in the early phase of cardiac overload. For elucidating the hemodynamic effects of glucocorticoid a second experiment was performed: 7 Wistar rats were treated with cortisol in the same way as group 1, 7 others of the same body weight served as control. The systolic arterial pressure was significantly elevated in the cortisol group. Though myocardial tissue is known to be able to accumulate large quantities of glucocorticoids our results indicate that the application of high cortisol doses for a short time does not produce myocardial cell damage and does not suppress the myocardial adaption to the glucocorticoid-induced hypertension, i.e. hypertrophy. On the contrary, it seems to be possible that the adaption process is itself facilitated or accelerated by the presence of high cortisol concentrations in the heart. This thesis is supported by the considerably higher relative heart weights in the cortisol groups and is in agreement with observations reported by other authors.

    Notes: Summary A case of parathyroid carcinoma in a 74-year-old female patient was studied by light and electron microscopy. The malignancy of the parathyroid tumour was confirmed by local recurrence and infiltration of adjacent structures. The tumour was composed of uniform chief cells without mitoses. Ultrastructurally, the cells were characterized by tortuous plasma membranes, numerous secretion granules, an extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum and lack of lipid vacuoles, all indicating hyperactivity, but not malignancy. At death, the autopsy revealed local recurrence of tumour tissue, but no distant metastases. Both light and electron microscopy showed that considerable dedifferentiation of the tumour tissue had occurred. The tumour cells were now characterized by a marked nuclear pleomorphism and a coarse clumping of the chromatin. The presence of secretion granules alone suggested a parathyroid origin. Thus, at death there was unequivocal histological evidence of a carcinoma, whereas no such diagnosis could be made from the early biopsy. The clinical course alone indicated the malignant nature of the lesion.

    Notes: Summary Fifteen cases of pituitary adenoma, 14 of which were associated with hyperprolactinemia, were studied by observation and granule morphometry of electron micrographs, immunohistochemistry and sequential observation of in vitro release with regard to hormone production, storage and secretion. Adenoma cells of 6 cases with marked elevation of plasma prolactin were sparsely granulated, showed characteristic ultrastrucures including the presence of small secretory granules, well developed Golgi and rough membranes, misplaced exocytosis, and positive or negative immunostaining for prolactin. These adenomas also showed vigorous release of the hormone into the circulation and/or culture medium. In vitro studies showed that negative immunostaining of adenoma cells did not preclude the production and secretion of the hormone. One densely granulated adenoma containing cells with numerous lactotroph type granules showed moderate release of prolactin into the circulation. In an acromegalic case associated with both high plasma growth hormone and prolactin, some cells were shown by immunohistochemistry to store both hormones. There were 4 adenomas which could not be shown to produce, store and secrete prolactin by any method available.

    Notes: Summary Male Wistar rats were partially hypophysectomized and sacrificed at intervals of from 2 days to 1 year following the operation. The resected material was examined under the light microscope and the residual pituitary under the light and electron microscope. Neither regeneration nor an anatomical restoration of the adenohypophysis occurred even one year after partial hypophysectomy. An increased number of small chromophobe stem cells and juvenile chromophil cells were found in the residual pituitary. The amount of mitoses were not significantly increased. The ACTH, FSH and prolactin producing cells demonstrated electron microscopically distinct changes which were interpreted as signs of intensified activity. This can be seen as a “functional regeneration” to maintain vital pituitary function for the organism.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural features of three granulosa cell tumors are presented. The neoplastic non-luteinized granulosa cells are characterized at sub-microscopical level by severely indented nuclei with prominent nucleoli, sparse to moderately developed predominantly granular endoplasmic reticulum, scanty lipids and lysosomes, small mitochondria with lamellar cristae and abundant intracytoplasmic filamentous material. The luteinized cells display a strongly developed tubular agranular endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria with tubular cristae. These findings are compared with those of previous reports and discussed in relation to the well-known hormonal activity of these tumors.

    Notes: Summary The clinical symptoms, pathological findings and surgical treatment of a case of primary frontal lobe eosinophilic granuloma are presented. Initially a frontal mass was detected that clinically seemed like a low-growth tumor. After operation, the histological, cytochemical and ultrastructural studies showed positive acid phosphatase, α-naftil-esterase, oil-red and PAS reactions of tumoral cells and the presence of rod-shaped bodies in proliferative histiocytes, all which confirmed the pathological diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma. Other osseous or visceral histiocytosis-X signs were not observed. The patient remains asymptomatic after a postoperative follow-up of 2 years.

    Notes: Summary A series of 129 soft tissue sarcomas was examined ultrastructurally to determine in which neoplasms and to what extent myofibroblasts could be demonstrated. Twenty cases of fibromatosis and fasciitis served as controls. Myofibroblasts were identified in all 30 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma and all 4 cases of well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma. Though most numerous in areas of desmoplasia, in no instance did myofibroblasts constitute the dominant cellular constituent of either neoplasm. Myofibroblasts were identified with lesser frequency and in smaller numbers in fibrosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, malignant hemangiopericytoma and neuroblastoma. None were observed in a wide assortment of diverse sarcomas in which desmoplasia was not a feature. In comparison each lesion judged by light microscopy to represent either fibromatosis or fasciitis was composed principally of myofibroblasts. The demonstration of abundant myofibroblasts within a soft tissue lesion which has been subjected to wide sampling strongly suggests a benign proliferative process as opposed to a malignant neoplasm. It is hypothesized that myofibroblasts observed within collagenized regions of soft tissue sarcomas may constitute an expression of host response to neoplasia.

    Notes: Summary Two cases of clear-cell chondrosarcoma located in the upper end of the right femur of men aged 30 and 40 years are reported. The roentgenologic appearances suggested a chondroblastoma. Both patients are alive, one and four years after surgical removal of the tumor. Glucosaminoglycans were studied with cationic dyes at different pH, with and without pretreatment with testicular hyaluronidase, and with the Scott technique at the light-microscopic level. Ultrastructurally, the glucosaminoglycans were studied with the high iron diamine and dialyzed iron techniques and glycogen with the PATCH-method. Light-microscopically, the tumors were characterized by clear vacuolated cells with distinct cytoplasm boundaries and scattered multinucleated giant cells of osteoclast type. Histochemical studies at the light-microscopic level indicate the presence of chondroitin 4- and 6-sulphate but no keratosulphate. Ultrastructurally, the predominant clear-cells showed features characteristic for chondroblasts. The cytoplasm showed areas lacking organelles and containing a low-density, finely granular matrix. These areas are considered to correspond to the clear cytoplasmic vacuoles seen under the light microscope. Most of the organelles were seen in the perinuclear region. The irregular tumor cells formed delicate protruding cytoplasmic extensions, which delineated intercellular spaces appearing as vacuoles under the light microscope. The benign multinucleated giant cells had an ultrastructural appearance typical of osteoclasts. Histochemical analysis at the electron-microscopic level showed the presence of sulphated glucosaminoglycans in the intercellular matrix and in association with the cytoplasmic membrane. Glycogen and non-sulphated acid glucosaminoglycans were found within the cytoplasm of the clear-cells.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the morphological aspects of a thirty-six week gestational age placenta in the Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome of Finnish type. The study, conducted with histological, histochemical, morphometric and ultrastructural methods, demonstrates the presence of primary disorders of placentation consisting of persistent embryonic villi, arrested ramification and chorionangiomatosis. The villous development is compatible with the first-second trimester of pregnancy. Vasculo-syncytial membranes are quantitatively increased. Histochemical findings document placental immaturity further: Perls' reaction was positive for the trophoblast basement membrane (this is normally not observed beyond the second trimester), Alcian Blue positivity at pH 1 was also evident and was observed in three month gestational age placentae and in controls. Periodic Acid Silver Methenamine and Thioaldehyde Fuchsin documented abnormal thickenings of the trophoblast basement membrane. Electron microscopic observation reveals that the trophoblast basement membrane is thickened. Osmiophilic bodies are distributed throughout the trophoblast basement membrane and also within the basement membrane like material. Abundant microfibrils are present in the villous stroma. Lamination of basement membrane like material is observed in a subendothelial position. On the basis of their findings and in conjunction with the data in the literature regarding biochemical alterations of renal glomerular basement membranes in Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome Finnish type, the Authors suggest that a primitive membranopathy forms the basis for this pathological condition.

    Notes: Summary Male Wistar rats were fed with ethanol for 33 weeks. Ethanol was administered in a liquid diet containing 33% of the calories as ethanol. In the control group ethanol was isocalorically replaced by glucose. Light and electron microscopic investigation of the hearts did not indicate significant structural abnormalities, in contrast to the results of some other groups. Nevertheless, morphometric analysis revealed considerable quantitative changes. The number of mitochondria was remarkably reduced and the volume of an average single mitochondrion nearly doubled, whereas the volume fractions of mitochondria and myofibrils were unaltered. The analysis of the mitochondrial subcompartments indicated a slight decrease of the surface area of inner mitochondrial membranes per unit volume of mitochondria and a slight increase of the volume fraction of the mitochondrial matrix space. Myocardial cell hypertrophy or atrophy were not observed. We believe that the mitochondrial changes are the expression of an impaired biogenesis of these organelles. The increased number of capillaries in the ethanol-fed group is possibly caused by functional ethanol effects which may be partly similar to effects of chronic hypoxia. Ethanol- or acetaldehyde-induced damage of heart mitochondria may play an important role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

    Notes: Summary The gonads of 4 phenotypically female individuals with XY chromosomal constitution and signs of virilisation were examined by light microscopy. Electron microscopic examination was also performed in two cases. Serological analysis of H-Y antigen titer yielded positive results. The matrix of the gonads is shown to be ovarian stroma, in which tubular and follicular structures are embedded. The epithelia of the follicles resemble granulosa cells of the ovary, the tubular epithelia are resemble Sertoli cells. Tubules and follicles both show extensive regressive changes. A varying number of Leyding cells/stroma lutein cells were found in each gonad. The different degree of development of testicular and ovarian structures in the dysgenetic gonads might be explained by a defect of the gonadal specific receptor for the H-Y antigen, this defect varying in time of occurrence, duration and severity.

    Notes: Summary The clinical and morphological findings are presented in two patients suffering from myelofibrosis and osteomyelosclerosis which terminated in an acute blastic crisis. Clinical follow-up data and light microscopy of the bone marrow however, revealed a chronic megakaryocytic-granulocytic myelosis (CMGM) with progression into myelofibrosis during the course of disease. In one patient the blastic transformation involved predominantly basophils, and in the other, neutrophils, with an accompanying abnormal proliferation of megakaryocytes in both cases. Electron microscopy of this cell population demonstrated remarkable atypicalities of the neutrophilic, basophilic and megakaryocytic cell lines. These abnormalities consisted of a nuclear-cytoplasmic asynchrony and a partial arrest of maturation, sometimes resulting in bizarre cell forms. Our investigations support the hypothesis of a mixed cellularity type of myelosis with a gradual and insiduous progression into osteomyelofibrosis/-sclerosis and a potential blastic crisis. In the evolution of blastic crisis all cell lines may be transformed, but with predominance of one population — basophils and neutrophils in our two cases — in addition to atypicalities of megakaryocytes.

    Notes: Summary Ten cases of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease involving lymph nodes were studied by electron microscopy to determine the ultrastructural composition of the nodule-stromal interphase and the collagenized regions. In addition to a few lymphocytes, rare eosinophils and neutrophils, abundant filamentous and granular electron dense material, collagen fibers and myofibroblasts were observed in all instances. Since myofibroblasts possess contractile and synthetic properties, it is likely they contribute to the retraction and sclerosis which together represent one of the morphologic hallmarks of the disease. The dense fibrosis and contractile state of such tissue may constitute a beneficial host response to contain and limit local and vascular invasion by the neoplastic cellular population, thus contributing to the relative benignity of this form of Hodgkin's disease.

    Notes: Summary Intercellular junctions within the villous stroma and the cytotrophoblastic layer of the human full term placenta were investigated using thin sectioning and freeze-fracturing. Numerous maculae adherentes (desmosomes) were found between the cytotrophoblast cells and the syncytiotrophoblast. This junction type was also seen connecting adjacent cytotrophoblast cells. Large gap junctions were frequently observed in contact areas of perikarya or at processes of adjacent fibroblasts. They often exhibited a peculiar pattern of their particles on the P-face of the membrane. Small rows of junctional particles were found on the P-faces of interconnected smooth muscle cells and gap junctions frequently bridged myoendothelial and interendothelial contact zones. The significance of the junctional complexes is discussed in relation to functional systems within the villous stroma of the human full term placenta.

    Notes: Summary The cellular content of the endoneurium in peripheral nerves of normal adult rats was studied. Endoneurial cells with high light-microscopical activity of acid phosphatase were usually located close to blood vessels or near the perineurium. Cells with the ultrastructural appearance of macrophages showed the same distribution and accounted for 2–4% of the endoneurial cell nuclei profiles. These cells rapidly endocytosed carbon particles after endoneurial administration of colloidal carbon in vitro.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes was investigated in rats 10 days, 30 days, and 10 weeks after portocaval anastomosis (PCA). Cell and nuclear sizes were measured by planimetry on randomly sampled cells magnified×24,000. The volume fractions of mitochondria, glia fibrils, and lipofuscin granules were measured in astrocytes by electronic image analysis. The mitochondrial profile area distribution and oligodendrocyte mitochondrial content were likewise estimated. All PCA animals had an increased astrocyte cell and cytoplasmic area, and after correction for cytoplasmic edema all groups had an enhanced mitochondrial fraction and mitochondrial number. The mitochondrial sizes were increased in all PCA groups. The mitochondrial profile area distribution curves did not suggest more than one group of mitochondria. All PCA groups had increased fractions of lipofuscin granules and glia fibrils. The oligodendrocytes had a slight fall in cell, nuclear, and cytoplasmic area after 30 days of shunting, and the mitochondrial fraction was diminished. After 10 weeks of PCA, all changes were reversed to normal values. It is concluded that the astrocytes are the active cells in the brain metabolism of ammonium. The oligodendrocytes seem to be dependent on neuronal integrity and do not contribute to the brain ammonium metabolism. The increase in astrocyte lipofuscin granules content may be explained by a beginning neuronal loss.

The cytochemical methods used were the diaminobenzidine method for catalase and a tetrazolium salt-phenozine methosulfate method ford-amino-acid oxidase. Ultrastructurally, the peroxisomes were found as single membrane limited organelles with a granular matrix. Marginal plates as well as continuities with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum could be demonstrated. Peroxisomes were found most abundantly in subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, to a lesser number in astrocytomas and least abundantly in glioblastomas.

    Notes: Summary Intracytoplasmic cosinophilic inclusions were found by light microscopy in the thalamic neurons of 35 consecutive normal adult brains and in a case of myotonic dystrophy, but not in six newborn children, including one with myotonic dystrophy. Histochemical tests suggested a protein composition. Ultrastructurally, the inclusions were composed of stacks of parallel alternating dark and light rectilinear profiles not surrounded by a limiting membrane. Such inclusions are a virtually constant finding in the adult human thalamus and probably represent sites of neuronal protein storage.

Their occurrence was studied in various nervous and epithelial cells of different animal species in both normal and diseased subjects. This organelle appears to be, at least for some cell types, a normal cytoplasmic feature. The number of lamellar bodies increases in some pathologic conditions and when the cell metabolism is elevated.

    Notes: Summary Biopsies for histochemical and ultrastructural studies were taken from the M. vastus lateralis of 45 healthy sedentary men and women aged 65–89 years. With increasing age the histochemical reactions reveal changes in the fibre type distribution characterized by a decrease in the percentage and predominant atrophy of type II fibres. The most frequent changes in the oldest subjects are: targetoid fibres, type I fibre predominance, and type grouping phenomena; expressions of denervation. Myopathic alterations are observed unusually. Electron microscopic findings are characterized by myofibrillar disorder, streaming of Z line and rod formation, and dilatation and increase of sarcoplasmic reticulum. As the age increases, the fibres become richer in intracellular lipid droplets and lysosomes. Intramuscular microcirculatory alterations, consisting of arteriolosclerotic changes and increase in width of the capillary basement membrane, are also observed and discussed.

    Notes: Summary Sertoli cells have various functions: mechanical (creation of two compartments in the seminiferous tubules, migration of germinal cells), secretory (secretion of anti-Müllerian hormone, inhibin, androgen-binding-protein and estrogen) and phagocytic. We report an ultrastructural study of the rat Sertoli cell during maturation and consider possible correlations between the acquisition of certain morphological characteristics and certain functions. During fetal life, the Sertoli cell possesses differentiated zones of junction with the gonocytes and seems to have a role in the migration of the gonocytes towards the periphery of the seminiferous tubule. The Sertoli cell performs the phagocytosis of the gonocytes which degenerate during their migration, and seems to be the site of production of protein granules, whose presence can be related to the synthesis of anti-Müllerian hormone. After birth and before puberty, when the inclusions resembling secretory granules disappear, the Sertoli cell membranes in contact with spermatocytes II and spermatids differentiate, forming, through the differentiated junctional complexes, two compartments (adluminal and luminal) in the seminiferous tubules. Finally, they acquire the characteristics of active secretory cells, capable, in particular, of steroid synthesis.

    Notes: Summary The epithelial rudiment of 4 day-old quail embryo adenohypophysis, cultivated in vitro under conditions allowing glandular differentiation, displays peripheral cells that progressively acquire follicular cell features. They elongate, develop numerous microvilli, junctional complexes, interlocking membranes and bundles of microfilaments. These follicular-like cells derive from peripheral epithelial cells that, in situ, become glandular. These results show that follicular cells can develop from undifferentiated cells. They undergo this pathway of development, in all likelihood, as a result of perturbations in their microenvironment.

    Notes: Summary The megakaryocytes in the bone marrow of steel mutant mice (Sl/Sld) and their normal littermates (+/+) were studied by light and electron microscopy with special emphasis on their maturity and distribution in the hematopoietic cords. A higher percentage of megakaryocytes lying against the sinus wall, a higher percentage of the sinus perimeter covered by megakaryocytes and a higher percentage of large megakaryocytes were found in Sl/Sld mice than in +/+ mice. In addition, more large megakaryocytes as well as senile megakaryocytes were observed in the spleen of Sl/Sld mice than in that of +/+ mice. These observations suggest that more platelets are produced in Sl/Sld mice than in +/+ mice on the basis of per unit area of the marrow tissue. Heretofore, the fate of the senile megakaryocytes in the marrow was not known. However, in Sl/Sld mice senile megakaryocytes were often found entering the marrow sinuses from the hematopoietic cords. They were also seen in the lung and the spleen where degradation of senile megakaryocytes was observed. These observations suggest that senile megakaryocytes in Sl/Sld mice leave the marrow and are removed by the reticuloendothelial system outside the marrow.

    Notes: Summary The differentiation of chorionic layers II and III and alterations of intercellular junctions within the developing placental labyrinth were investigated in rats. Between the 14th and 16th day of gestation, the trabecular structures of the labyrinth alter and increasing numbers of primary, secondary, and tertiary lamellae develop. Trophoblastic layer I remains multicellular. Layer III rearranges and cytoplasmic fusions result in a continuous cytoplasmic barrier intervening between the already syncytial trophoblastic layer II and fetal capillaries. Simultaneously, most of the “undifferentiated” cells within the labyrinth disappear. Thin sectioning anf freeze-fracturing reveal multiple images of intercellular junctions, particularly gap and tight junctions in the cellular and syncytial parts of layers II and III. Continuous and regularly arranged tight junctions occur as well as fragmented structures which are spaced irregularly. Gap junctions are occasionally found between the juxtasinusoidal regions of layers II and III on the 14th day. More often they occur within restricted areas near the center of the trabeculae, integrated within extensive tight junctional strands. Gap junctions increase in later stages of pregnancy and eventually become distributed between the interfaces of layers II and III in the primary lamellae.

Epidermal cell changes at 3 h included: the occurrence of small vacuoles with or without membrane, focal dilatation of intercellular spaces, and the alteration of tonofilaments into short, aggregated bundles. Non-sensitized skin to which DNCB was applied also showed small vacuoles with or without membrane. Monocytes infiltrated into the intercellular spaces which were not dilated, and the neighboring tonofilaments of keratinocytes remained normal.

    Notes: Summary Pituitary adenomas of 120 patients were investigated in tissue and in cell cultures. Under different conditions of culture, the biopsies revealed different rates of growth. In tissue cultures 66% of the samples could be propagated while tumour specimens explanted in cell suspensions proliferated in 80% of the cases. Attempts to establish subcultures were also more successful when specimens were put into cell cultures primarily. Further differences of growth characteristics were observed in connection with the histological types of the parent tissues. According to the old terminology cells of mixed type adenomas had the longest life-span both in tissue and in cell cultures. Considering the proliferative activity, this type of tumour could be most frequently subcultured. Concerning the relationship of different cell components of the biopsies it was proven that survival and proliferation of adenoma cells may occur without fibroblasts. The appearance of fibroblast-like cells in older cultures is a morphological manifestation of the senescence of the specific cell types. Qualitative features of cultured adenoma cells showed that on the basis of cytomorphological properties “chromophobe” samples could be separated from the other types. Cells of acidophil and mixed type growths had the capacity of developing in vitro various migratory shapes, while “chromophobe” cells did not possess this ability. The histological diagnoses made independently from cultures confirmed the tissue culture findings. Differences of in vitro characteristics correlated also with the ultrastructural features of the cultured adenoma cells.
