    Notes: Summary Clones of Phryganella acropodia were cultivated under different trophic conditions with bacteria as the food source. The doubling time was estimated to be 3 days. The edibility of four species of fungi, Aspergillus niger, Cunninghamella echinulata, Penicillium echinulatum and Stilbella bulbicola, was tested, but only Penicillium enchinulatum and Stilbella bulbicola were eaten and digested by the amoeba. An ultrastructure examination showed that there are two contractile vacuoles, many dictyosomes, a single nucleus with several nucleoli, and peroxisomes. The pseudopodia are filiform when attached to the substrate but change to lobose when the animal is floating. A thin organic membrane covers the aperture of resting forms.

    Notes: Summary The microvasculature of the stroma of human gastric carcinoma was studied by immuno-electron microscopy for factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (vWF) and conventional electron microscopy. In differentiated type (intestinal) gastric carcinoma (9 cases), capillaries were distributed more densely around carcinoma cell nests. vWF was localized in endothelial cells and neighbouring stroma. Ultrastructurally, capillary endothelial cells showed considerable hypertrophic changes with well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER). vWF was localized in well-developed rER, granules, Weibel-Palade bodies (WPB), in the vascular lumen as clusters, and diffusely deposited in the subendothelium. This indicates that endothelial cells in this group are transformed into a state of active protein production. In undifferentiated type (diffuse) gastric carcinoma (12 cases), capillaries were uniformly distributed and endothelial hypertrophic changes were less remarkable. vWF was localized in WPB, scanty rER and subendothelial matrix. Solid capillary buds were observed in both types; they were composed of a solid strand of endothelial cells without a visible lumen. Our results reveal that the microvasculature in tumour stroma differs significantly according to its histological type.

    Small mucus-granule-containing ciliated cells in the human gastric mucosa: a transitional form to metaplastic ciliated cells (1990)

    Notes: Summary Ciliated cells were found in the gastric mucosa in close association with intestinal metaplasia, mainly in the pyloric mucosa, of Japanese patients. The occurrence of ciliated cells is believed to be an acquired phenomenon and is considered to be a type of metaplasia; the term “ciliated metaplasia” is used to describe this phenomenon. Ciliated cells are found in the basal part of the glands among normal-looking mucous cells, mucous neck cells and neuroendocrine cells, but never on the surface or in foveolar epithelium. In ciliated cellcontaining glands, mitoses were noted in the neck region and the ultrastructural features of these cells were identical to those of undifferentiated neck cells. However, cell metaplasia from undifferentiated cells to metaplastic ciliated cells has never been demonstrated previously. The small mucus-granule-containing ciliated cells found in our present study may arise subsequent to division of undifferentiated neck cells into mucous cells with some daughter cells then exhibiting differentiation characteristics specific to ciliated cells. Thus they contain a mixture of both small mucus granules and numerous basal bodies and cilia, at the same time as a transitional form.

    Notes: Summary We performed an ultrastructural, morphometric comparison of mitochondria and myofibrils of cardiomyocytes using endomyocardial biopsy specimens in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Biopsies came from the right ventricular side of the interventricular septum in nine patients with HCM, nine with DCM, and nine controls with arrhythmia and/or ST depression. Morphometric analysis was carried out using electron microscopic photographs and an image analyser. Mitochondria were significantly greater in number and smaller in size in HCM than in the control group. In DCM, the size of mitochondria was also significantly smaller than in the control group, although their number was similar to that of the control group. No statistically significant difference was found regarding the size of mitochondria between HCM and DCM. The percentages of both mitochondrial and myofibrillar areas in cytoplasm were smaller in the DCM than the HCM and control groups, though no difference was seen between the latter two. The ratio of mitochondrial area to myofibrillar area was almost the same in each group. These results suggest increased mitochondrial function to match hypertrophic cardiomyocytes in HCM, and decreased mitochondrial function and cardiomyocytic contractility in DCM.

    Notes: Summary So-called minute pulmonary chemodectoma is a curious, small lung tumour found mainly in women. The nature and origin of the proliferating cells are still obscure. In the first report on the tumour, the component cells were described as resembling chemoreceptor cells and the tumour was named chemodectoma. However, electron microscopic studies of the tumour have revealed no evidence of neuronal characteristics and have shown a close resemblance to meningothelial cells. In this study, the electron microscopic findings were similar to those previously reported but in one of the two cases, tumour cells were filled with abundant cytofilaments, giving them an occasional dense, patch-like appearance. Immunostaining for myosin and vimentin was positive in all tumour cells, but epithelial membrane antigen staining was not seen. These findings indicate that the tumour might have its origin from muscle cells.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary New ultrastructural findings are reported from two lymphomas of vacuolar signet-ring cell morphology (SR+), one of B cell and one of T cell lineage. When these lymphomas were compared ultrastructurally a difference in the relationship of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the vacuole was noted, although the fine structure of the vacuoles themselves was similar and they were interpreted as giant multivesicular bodies (mvbs). Smooth ER was found near the vacuoles in both cases. Dark mvbs with a complex, reticulate form are emphasised as readily identified but hitherto unreported cell components in these tumours. A further B cell lymphoma of centroblastic/centrocytic type which was SR− was found to be rich in mvbs and may be a transitional form between SR− and SR+ lymphomas. In addition, the occurrence of mvbs has been studied quantitatively in a number of other lymphomas and in B and T lymphocytes in reactive nodes. Although increased numbers of mvbs were found in neoplastic compared with reactive lymphocytes, and in T compared with B cell lymphomas, these differences were not statistically significant. The possible roles of endoplasmic reticulum and mvbs in the generation of SR+ change are discussed.

    Occurrence and prevention of contraction bands in Purkinje fibres, transitional cells and working myocardium during global ischaemia (1990)

    Notes: Summary Contraction bands usually occur in the intramural working myocardium following post-ischaemic reperfusion. In the subendocardium, however, they are found during ischaemia. Thus, we ascertained the contraction states of Purkinje fibres, transitional cells, subendocardial and intramural parts of the working myocardium during 30 min global ischaemia at 25° C. The effects with and without myocardial protection were compared. At the onset of pure ischaemia contraction bands are completely lacking in all cell types. During pure ischaemia contraction bands are found in all subendocardial cell types but not in the intramural working myocardium. A peak of pathological contraction states is found in the intramural working myocardium at the onset (0 min), in the subendocardial working myocardium at 10 min, in the transitional cells and Purkinje fibres at 30 min of pure ischaemia. Histidine-, tryptophan-, ketoglutarate-enriched (HTK) cardioplegia prevents contraction bands completely at the onset of ischaemia and prevents both contraction bands and pathological contraction states during ischaemia almost completely. Striking differences in the physiological contraction states are seen only in the working myocardium: HTK cardioplegia brings about dominance of relaxation during ischaemia. These findings may be due mainly to the effects of global ischaemia on the one hand and to catecholamines, calcium and oxygen on the other.

    Notes: Summary Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is considered to be a distinct subtype of peritoneal mesothelioma. Although the WDPM is usually qualified as benign, the natural history of this lesion has not been clearly established. This report relates to two WDPMs which were found incidentally. In a 51-year-old man the WDPM developed over a period of 5 years into a typically malignant diffuse mesothelioma. Thus, although the WDPM morphologically lacks signs of malignancy, it should be regarded as a borderline mesothelioma.

    Notes: Summary Patients with olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) were studied, and cytoplasmic inclusions were observed in some of the remaining neurons of the pontine nuclei, nuclei reticularis tegmenti pontis and arcuate nuclei. The cytoplasmic argyrophilic inclusions were demonstrated by silver impregnation techniques such as Bielschowsky and Bodian staining. With hematoxylin and eosin stain, the inclusions were sharply demarcated and appeared pale. The inclusions were not stained by the following routine histological methods: Klüver-Barrera, phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin, Holzer, periodic acid-Schiff, Mallory azan, alcian blue, nile blue, Masson trichrome, Congo red, thioflavine S, oil red O and Sudan black B stains. Immunohistochemistry with anti-ubiquitin antiserum showed that these inclusions were ubiquitinated. However, the inclusions did not react with any of the following antibodies (Abs) or antisera: anti-phosphorylated neurofilament (NF) Ab, anti-nonphosphorylated NF Abs (160 and 200 kDa), anti-paired helical filament antiserum, anti-tau antiserum, anti-tubulin Abs (alpha and beta), anti-microtubule-associated proteins antiserum, anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein antiserum, anti-vimentin Ab, anti-desmin Ab, anti-cytokeratin Abs (low and high molecular weights), anti-actin antiserum, anti-skeletal myosin antiserum and anti-myelin basic protein Ab. Ultrastructurally, the inclusion bodies noted in OPCA were composed primarily of fibrils having a width ranging from about 24 to 40 nm, which were entirely coated with osmiophilic granular material along their whole length. They were occasionally intermingled with a few filaments about 10 nm in width. Electron microscopical examination on silver-impregnated specimens revealed that each granule-coated fibril had a great affinity for silver particles. In elucidating the pathogenesis of OPCA, it was considered to be an important neuropathological finding that some of the remaining pontine neurons affected by OPCA developed characteristic cytoplasmic argyrophilic inclusions.

    A study of the morphology of the gills of an extreme alkalinity and hyperosmotic adapted teleost Oreochromis alcalicus grahami (boulenger) with particular emphasis on the ultrastructure of the chloride cells and their modifications with water dilution (1990)

    Notes: Summary The general gill morphology of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, a teleost adapted to high salinity and hyperosmosis, is basically similar to that of other teleostean fish. The species has four pairs of gill arches, all of which have well developed filaments. Each of the arches (holobranchs) has two rows of filaments (hemibranchs). Bilaterally situated secondary lamellae branch from the central axis of the filaments. The lamellae reach their maximum size at the middle of the filament, gradually decrease in size and eventually disappear towards the tip of the filament, which is bare. The leading edge of the gill filament and the immediate interlamellar space is covered by a stratified epithelium consisting of pavement cells, mucous cells, chloride cells and undifferentiated cells. The surface of these cells is made up of concentric microridges. The chloride cells were found only on the primary epithelium (filamental epithelium) and very rarely on the secondary epithelium (lamellar epithelium). Two types of chloride cells were observed in the gills of Oreochromis. The superficial chloride cells have fewer mitochondria concentrated towards the basal aspect of the cell, and a network of tubules towards the apical surface and are less electron dense. These cells intercommunicate with the water through an apical pore. The deep chloride cells have numerous diffuse mitochondria intercalated between a fine profuse tubular network and are more electron dense. These cells are covered by one or more layers of pavement cells and thus do not have access to the external surface. After gradual dilution of the lake water in which the fish were kept, both types of chloride cells remained topographically and ultrastructurally distinct. However, in both kinds of cell the mitochondria decreased in number and size. Initially there was an increase in the diameter and the degree of interdigitation of the tubules followed by a gradual decrease. An increase in the quantity of rough endoplasmic reticulum, particularly at the perinuclear region of the cell, was noted. The morphometric analysis of the branchial system indicated that the gills of Oreochromis are well adapted for gas exchange by having numerous and relatively long gill filaments with a high lamellar density. These features provide a large surface for gas exchange which, when coupled with the notably thin water-blood barrier of an average thickness of only 0.83 μm, would facilitate efficient absorption of oxygen by the gills. Oreochromis alcalicus was observed to be incapable of adapting to freshwater. This may have been due to the progressive degeneration of the chloride cells. Also the arrangement of the chloride cells as a continuum from the central venous compartments to the free epithelial surface is a structural feature which may not be amenable to radical functional changes.

    Notes: Summary Physiological cell death is a widespread phenomenon in the development of both vertebrates and invertebrates. This review concentrates on an aspect of developmental cell death that has tended to be neglected, the manner in which the cells are dismantled. It is emphasized that the dying cells may adopt one of at least three different morphological types: “apoptotic”, “autophagic”, and “non-lysosomal vesiculate”. These probably reflect a corresponding multiplicity of intracellular events. In particular, the destruction of the cytoplasm in these three types appears to be achieved primarily by heterophagy, by autophagy and by non-lysosomal degradation, respectively. The various mechanisms underlying both nuclear and cytoplasmic destruction are reviewed in detail. The multiplicity of destructive mechanisms needs to be born in mind in studies of other aspects of cell death such as the signals which trigger it, since different signals probably trigger different types of cell death.

    Notes: Summary We carried out a histological examination of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in a case of myoclonus epilepsy associated with ragged-red fibers (MERRF) and two cases of mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, laetic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), which did not manifest external ophthalmoplegia clinically. By light microscopy, many granular and vesicular fibers were seen associated with endomysial fibrosis. Electron microscopy revealed that the fibers showed prominent accumulation of abnormal mitochondria, extensive loss of myofibrils, proliferation of free sarcoplasmic reticulum and an increased amount of lipid vacuoles. These changes were more pronounced in MELAS than in MERRF. Hirano bodies were often seen in the subsarcolemmal area of muscle fibers and also in the intramuscular myelinated nerve fibers and axon terminals. These findings suggest the presence of mitochondrial myopathy of the EOMs in cases of MELAS and MERRF.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural damage leading to delayed neuronal death was investigated in the mid-CA1 region of the hippocampus from the stratum (str.) moleculare to oriens after transient bilateral forebrain ischemia in Mongolian gerbils. After ischemia for 5 min without recirculation, mild swelling of the peripheral part of the apical and basal dendrites was already apparent in the str. moleculare and str. oriens. Mitochondria in the dendrites were also swollen in the same area. During recirculation for 12 h to 3 days, swelling of the dendritic cytoplasm persisted with formation of microvacuoles, but swelling of mitochondria receded. Microvacuolation and loss of microtubules were also observed in the proximal part of the dendrites during this period, and swelling and disruption of internal cristae were observed in mitochondria after recirculation for 3 days. The dendrites became severely degenerated after recirculation for 4 days. In the pyramidal cell bodies, no abnormality was observed at the end of ischemia for 5 min, but disaggregation of polyribosomes and swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum were observed 12 h after recirculation. Proliferation of the endoplasmic reticulum in parallel arrays occurred after recirculation for 1 day and persisted. Severe degeneration of the pyramidal cell bodies was obvious after recirculation for 4 days. The findings observed in the present investigation suggested that the neuronal structure most vulnerable to ischemia was the peripheral part of the dendrites and postischemic neuronal damage occurred early in this part of the dendrites.

    Notes: Summary Three cases of spontaneous olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) in domestic cats were morphologically and immunocytochemically characterized. Diagnostic light microscopic features included Flexner and Homer-Wright rosettes, while ultrastructurally the cells had neuritic processes, intracellular intermediate filaments, and intercellular junctions. Immunocytochemically, the tumors stained positively for neuron-specific enolase, cytokeratins, and S-100 protein antigens. In each case, a key finding was the identification of numerous mature type C retroviral particles within the tumors. In one case, budding of viral particles from the plasmalemma of tumor cells suggested the source of mature particles. This cat and one other were tested, and both were serologically positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). The virus in the tumors was identified as FeLV by polymerase chain reaction and immunocytochemistry. No other neoplasms were found in any of the cats, nor was there similar evidence of active viral infection in other non-tumor tissues, including the brain. Although the relationship between FeLV infection and ONB is uncertain, our findings indicate that FeLV should be investigated as an etiologic agent of ONB.

    Notes: Summary Large intracytoplasmic inclusions arising from the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope were found in the muscle fibers of a 32-year-old individual with a life-long, chronic and progressive sensory-motor neuropathy. The morphological features of the inclusions were similar to that occasionally reported in the striated muscles in several unrelated conditions as well as to “hyaline” or “colloid” inclusions commonly seen in motor neurons of the brain stem and spinal cord. The chemical nature of the inclusions is not known. Their occurrence in the muscle fibers is probably secondary to chronic denervation.

    Notes: Summary Intracellular inclusions with staining properties of amyloid are very common in the aging choroid plexus epithelial cells. In many ways these inclusions show similarities with the neurofibrillary tangles, found in cerebral cortical neurons in patients with Alzheimer's dementia. We have now designed a purification method for choroid plexus amyloid and performed a transmission and scanning electron miscroscopic study. This shows that one form of choroid plexus inclusions, the Biondi ring, is a homogeneous globule covered with a thin layer of amyloid fibrils. Partial immunochemical characterization of the choroid plexus amyloid reveals that it is different from the neurofibrillary tangles although there are similarities.

    Notes: Summary Scanning electron microscopic observations of connective tissue cells show a new aspect of the nature of fibroblasts, and the subsequent broad survey of references makes clear that fibroblasts of many tissues have various features which are regarded as atypical of fibroblasts, and at the same time that various connective tissue cells in different organs have features typical of fibroblasts. Both morphological and functional features of fibroblasts are more or less common to those of fibroblast-like cells, and differences among these cells are quantitative rather than qualitative. Therefore, it is almost impossible to set clear-cut criteria for distinguishing genuine fibroblasts from a large population of fibroblast-like cells. The majority of cells sharing features of fibroblasts, if not all, seem to belong to the same population of cells. They are probably adapted to special functional needs in their own micro-environment that are peculiar to local or pathological or experimental conditions. It is proposed to categorize these cells into subtypes depending on their main functions: 1, fibrogenesis; 2, tissue skeleton or barrier; 3, intercellular communication system; 4, gentle contractile machinery; 5, endocrine activity; and 6, vitamin A-storing. Re-evaluation of fibroblasts and fibroblast-like cells is required to facilitate their better understanding.

    Notes: Summary Blood samples were taken weekly from seventeen mature blue fox vixens (average age five years), from late anoestrus until pro-oestrus, and then taken daily. The vixens were sacrificed at various stages of oestrus, and oocytes were collected from ovarian follicles by aspiration, and/or from oviducts by flushing. The structural features of oocyte maturation were related to the time of the luteinizing hormone (LH) peak. On days 1–2 after the LH peak the oocyte nucleus migrated from a central to a peripheral position in the ooplasm and assumed a flattened appearance. The cumulus investment expanded simultaneously and ovulation took place around day 2. On days 2–3 the oocyte nuclear envelope broke down, the nucleoli disappeared, the metaphase of the first meiotic division was reached, the Golgi complexes decreased in size, the perivitelline space enlarged, and all junctional contact between cumulus cell projections and oocyte was disrupted. On days 3–5 the first polar body was extruded, the metaphase of the second meiotic division was reached, and the cumulus cells degenerated. On day 5 the release of cortical granule content was occasionally seen, and from day 6 the oocytes showed signs of degeneration. In a few animals deviant oocyte maturation was noticed.

    Notes: Summary In five species of lungless salamanders, family Plethodontidae, which all show highly developed visual abilities, the ultrastructure of the optic nerve was investigated and the total number of retinal ganglion cell axons, the percentage of myelinated axons, and the volume densities of glia and axons were determined. More than 80% of all axons were smaller than 0.4 μm and only 2–3% were larger than 0.8 μm. In individual nerves the degree of myelination varied between 1 and 9% which is in the range reported for other amphibian species. The miniaturized and highly paedomorphic species Batrachoseps attenuatus was an exception because only very few or even no myelinated axons were present in the nerve, which is unique among gnathostome vertebrates. The five investigated species had total numbers of axons ranging from 26000 in Batrachoseps attenuatus to about 50000 in Plethodon jordani. These numbers are the lowest found among vertebrates with an elaborated visual system. The amount of glial material in the optic nerve varied between 25 and 50%, with larger nerves possessing more glia than smaller ones. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that the optic nerve of each species contained both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, although often in immature form. In Batrachoseps attenuatus the glia showed features of both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes which reflect an undifferentiated state.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural morphology of developing chorionic villi in the marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus) placenta was studied in pregnant monkeys at known time intervals after ovulation. In samples obtained at 45 days after ovulation the mesoderm, which consists of primitive foetal blood vessels, is seen to extend down into cytotrophoblast columns. Syncytiotrophoblast completely surrounds maternal blood vessels and both basal laminae and endothelial cells of maternal origin show signs of disorganisation and degradation. Syncytiotrophoblast is first observed to breach the maternal circulation in samples collected from animals at 60 days after ovulation; this results in discrete haemochorial villi randomly distributed throughout the placental bed. Samples obtained at 80 days after ovulation and term placental samples (145 days after ovulation) exhibit tertiary haemochorial villi throughout the placenta, similar to those seen randomly distributed at 60 days after ovulation.

    Notes: Summary The early development of anuran posterior lymph hearts studied by light- and electron-microscopy in frog larval stages 25–29 (Gosner 1960) can be subdivided into three phases. In phase I, mesenchymal myogenic cells are found, each possessing a single 9 + 0 cilium and numerous filopode-like processes aggregated near the vena caudalis lateralis, forming up to three metameric organ anlagen arranged like a cuff around the preexisting lymphatics (stages 26/27). In phase II, cell proliferation starts at stage 28 within the lymph heart wall as does the formation of primarily polynuclear myofibres by fusion of several myoblasts. At this stage immature myofibres show a vast sarcoplasm, a poorly developed SR and only few myofibrils with not yet distinguishable A- and I-bands. In phase III, the afferent and efferent valves are formed at the onset of pulsation in stage 29. Contractile myofibres contain large glycogen fields and a considerable amount of myofibrils which frequently branch and show distinct Z-lines, A-, I-, H- and M-bands; 1–3 cilia were found lying within a channel-like cell invagination. The peculiarities of organogenesis and myofibre development are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The nature of Rosenthal fibres (RF) was investigated in eight cases each of low-grade astrocytoma and reactive gliosis using immunohistochemical (IH) staining for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), electron microscopy (EM) and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) by immunogold labelling technique. By IH under light microscopy (LM), three types of RF were seen, uniformly positive (type I), rim positive (type II) and completely negative (type III). EM showed variation in structural pattern of RF. Some RF contained large amount of glial filaments (GF) intermingled with RF while others with a large amount of electron dense material and less GF. Thus, the presence and amount of GF in RF appear to be responsible for the different types of IH staining under LM. IEM showed that all RF including the ones consisting of entirelh amorphous material possess immunoreactivity for GFAP. It is suggested that RF formation is a two-stage process, staring with excessive accumulation of GF within astrocytic processes followed by their gradual alteration into electron-dense amorphous material under the influence of some unknown metablic or other factors. The quantitative analysis of different types of RF suggests a difference in the rate of formation of RF in neoplastic and reactive conditions.

    Notes: Summary A light and electron microscopic study was undertaken to determine pathological changes in cutaneous spinal nerves of rabbits following intradermal inoculation with alphaherpesvirus saimiri (αHVS) isolate KM 322. Infected rabbits were killed at 3, 10, 17, 45 days and 2 years after infection. No abnormalities were seen at 3 days postinoculation. In the nerves of the rabbits killed at 10, 17 and 45 days after infection, axonal (Wallerian-type) degeneration was the main pathological feature. Regeneration, manifested by axonal sprouting, was observed in the nerves of the rabbits killed at 45 days post-inoculation. Neural fibrosis and paucity of unmyelinated axons was the final outcome. The severity of the neural damage not only varied according to the progression of the disease but between nerves taken from the same rabbit. This was probably associated with variation in the numbers of virus particles that had reached the dorsal root ganglion of the dermatome served by a particular nerve. Since αHVS (isolate KM 322) provides a model system for the study of virus latency in dorsal root ganglia, and consequently for the study of varicellazoster infection in man, these findings give further insight into the pathology of herpetic neuropathy.

    Notes: Summary Phospholipids in meningiomas were studied by light and electron microscopy, and by high-performance liquid chromatography. They were microscopically demonstrated in six of the ten cases by Sudan III staining after the fixation with potassium dichromate. However, the conventional ultrastructural fixation with glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide failed to confirm phospholipids, as most of them were dissolved during dehydration. In contrast, the specimens pretreated with tannic acid before osmication ultrastructurally retained phospholipids which were represented by multilamellar bodies or ribbon-like rings. Both were found in 23 of the 30 cases within the cytoplasm, among the plasma membranes and in the extracellular matrices. The outermost lamella or ribbon showed a direct continuity from the neighbouring plasma membranes of the cytoplasm or the mitochondria. The multilamellar bodies showed an overall distribution, while the ribbon-like rings were predominantly distributed around the psammoma bodies. Precipitation of hydroxyapatite crystals within the ribbon-like rings resulted in matrix minerals of psammoma bodies. Chromatographical analyses of meningiomas disclosed phospholipids including phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl serine, sphingomyelin and phosphatidyl inositol in that order. Psammomatous meningiomas contained a higher percentage of phosphatidyl serine than non-psammomatous tumors. Ultrastructural study of synthetic phospholipids adequately treated with tannic acid showed that the multilamellar bodies were similar to phosphatidyl choline, while the ribbon-like rings were similar to phosphatidyl serine. The role of phospholipids in meningiomas is discussed.

    Hyperplastic and hypertrophic growth of lateral muscle in Dicentrarchus labrax (L.) (1990)

    Notes: Summary In this EM study of lateral muscle in Dicentrarchus labrax, we observed that during the larval period, growth of the presumptive red and white muscle layers occurs both by hypertrophy (as fibres already present at hatching complete their maturation) and by production of new fibres in germinal zones specific to the two muscle layers. In the first half of larval life the presumptive white muscle increases in thickness by the addition, superficially, of new fibres derived from a germinal zone of presumptive myoblasts lying beneath the red muscle layer. In the second half of larval life new fibres produced in this same zone form the intermediate (or pink) muscle layer. Dorsoventrally the myotome grows throughout larval life, largely by addition of new fibres from germinal zones at the hypo- and epi-axial extremities. Towards the end of larval life all these germinal zones are becoming exhausted, but another source of fibres arises as satellite cells, associated with large-diameter presumptive white muscle fibres, are activated to produce new fibres. The addition of small, new fibres gives the white muscle its mosaic appearance. Morphometric analysis of fibre diameters in the white muscle confirms that whereas these hyperplastic processes are important during the larval and juvenile periods, when growth is very rapid, they have ceased by the time the adult stage is attained. By contrast, fibre hypertrophy continues through into adult life. The presumptive red muscle consists initially of a monolayer of fibres present only near the lateral line, and during larval life it grows hypo- and epi-axially by addition of fibres derived from myoblasts already present in these areas at hatching. Lying superficially to the presumptive red muscle monolayer there is a near-continuous layer of external cells with a “flattened” profile. During the second half of larval life, differentiation of these external cells into myoblasts provides the source of new fibres which are added to the red muscle layer. This process, which occurs initially in the region around the lateral line and later spreads outwards, is responsible for the increase in thickness of the red muscle.

    Notes: Summary The regression of the pronephric kidney of the lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, is described using histochemical and ultrastructural techniques. Regression begins in the third year of larval life, and by the time the animal enters metamorphosis the tubules have all disappeared. The nephrostomes and the renal corpuscle, however, persist for the remainder of the life cycle and undergo little change in the larva. Iron is present within the tubular epithelium prior to the beginning of degeneration, but as degeneration proceeds iron is observed within the tubule lumina. Acid phosphatase is noted within the tubule epithelia prior to degeneration, but as degeneration proceeds acid phosphatase is also observed within the intertubular area. Features of tubular regression include a prominent and highly folded basal lamina, numerous cytoplasmic inclusions, and dense bodies in the epithelia and lumina. The intertubular region is invaded by lymphocytes, granulocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages. The process of pronephric regression possesses many features of the process of apoptosis, which has been noted in the regression of larval organs in other vertebrates.

    Notes: Summary The caudal neurosecretory complex (CNc) of poecilids has previously been shown to receive serotonergic inputs. In the present study, immunohistochemical techniques were applied at the light and electron microscopic levels to characterize serotonergic terminals in the neuroendocrine nucleus. A dense plexus of varicose fibers observed in the rostral CNc neuropil was absent in the spinal cords of deafferented fish, indicating that the origin of this input was extranuclear. Ultrastructural study revealed no direct contacts between labeled structures and neuroendocrine cells. Non-synaptic terminals (varicosities) were the predominantly labeled structures in the neuropil. Synaptic terminals were observed on cellular and axonal targets in the CNc. Small cells containing 70 nm dense-core vesicles received serotonergic input on their perikarya. Labeled synapses were also found on unlabeled axon terminals which made axoaxonal synapses on neuroendocrine processes. Non-synaptic terminals may be responsible for a variety of serotonin-mediated effects in the CNc. Synaptic interactions with local catecholaminergic and afferent cholinergic inputs to the CNc are likely.

    Notes: Summary In an attempt to establish maturational alterations in the morphology of the articular tissue layer, mandibular condyles of four immature and four mature male monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were studied using light microscopy as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Specimens were fixed in situ by perfusion in the presence of ruthenium red to stabilize proteoglycans. Preparations intended for observation in the scanning electron microscope were first dehydrated and sputtered for the examination of articular surfaces, and afterwards treated with trypsin to expose the spatial arrangement of collagen fibrils. Gross anatomical relations between joint components indicated that the anterior and central, but not the posterior region of the condylar articular surface can be subject to compressional load. Load-bearing and non-load-bearing regions differed with respect to the morphology of the articular layer. Load-bearing surfaces were covered by a prominent articular surface lamina similar to that observed on articular cartilage. This lamina seemed to constitute an integral part of the articular layer, distinct from the lining of synovial fluid, and to be composed largely of proteoglycans. It was unaffected by maturation. The subjecent, load-bearing articular layer differed markedly in structure, both from articular cartilage, and between immature and mature animals. Articular cells of immature animals were classified as fibroblastlike, but unlike typical fibroblasts, were surrounded by a thin, often incomplete halo of fibril-free pericellular matrix, presumably consisting of proteoglycans. In mature animals, articular cells closely resembled chondrocytes, but exhibited prominent nuclear fibrous laminae, which usually are found only in fibroblasts. Thus, the load-bearing part of the articular layer seems to undergo a maturation-dependent metaplastic conversion, from a dense connective tissue with some features of fibrocartilage, to a fibrocartilage-like tissue containing chrondrocytelike cells with some features of fibroblasts. This conversion might reflect an adaptation to a maturation-associated increase in articular stress.

    Notes: Summary Eleven dysplastic melanocytic naevi with various degrees of dysplasia, as judged by light microscopy, were studied by transmission electron microscopy, and their intra-epidermal melanocytes compared with those of five superficial spreading melanomas and seven common benign naevocellular naevi. Intra-epidermal melanocytes in dysplastic naevi exhibited signs of cellular atypia, which were most pronounced in the dysplastic naevi with histological high-grade dysplasia. A correlation between the degree of dysplasia at the light microscopic level and the degree of cytological atypia at the ultrastructural level was noted, and melanocytes in dysplastic naevi with a high degree of dysplasia had ultrastructural features similar to the melanocytes in superficial spreading melanomas. Our observations support the concept that dysplastic naevi fill the biological gap between benign naevocellular naevi and malignant melanomas and suggest that at least some of the dysplastic naevi must be regarded as potential precursor lesions of malignant melanoma, particularly those exhibiting a high degree of histological dysplasia.

    Notes: Summary The skin of 20 patients with variegate porphyria (VP) was studied using light, fluorescent, and electron microscopy. Twelve patients had skin symptoms and markedly increased fecal protoporphyrin excretion. Their sun-exposed skin was characterized by homogeneous PAS-positive thickening and IgG deposition in the vessel walls. The basic ultrastructural change was thickening of the vascular walls caused by reduplication of the basal lamina and perivascular deposition of amorphous material. Qualitatively similar but less prominent histopathological changes occurred in sun-protected skin in some of the patients. Six patients had no skin symptoms but an increased porphyrin excretion. The light microscopical changes were comparable to those in the patients with skin symptoms, but the ultrastructural changes were less severe. No abnormal histopathological changes occurred in two symptomless patients who had low lymphocyte protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity but normal fecal porphyrin excretion. These results show that the primary site of skin damage in VP is the vessel wall, and that histopathological changes of the skin also occur in porphyric patients who have never had skin symptoms. Factors determining the occurrence of skin symptoms in VP are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural changes of the connective tissue sheath (CTS), including the hyaline membrane, of human hair follicles during the hair cycle, were studied in normal scalp skin specimens. In early anagen, the CTS was composed of a thin basal lamina and surrounding collagen tissue. The collagen tissue gradually thickened during the development of the hair and hair follicle. In mature anagen hair follicles, the collagen tissue was separated into three layers. The inner collagen layer, just outside the basal lamina, was thin and composed of collagen fibres running longitudinally parallel to the hair axis. The middle collagen layer was very thick with its collagen fibres running transversely against the hair axis and surrounding the inner hair tissue. Many fibroblasts were present among the collagen fibres in the middle layer, whereas the inner layer contained almost none. In the outer collagen layer, collagen fibres ran in various directions parallel to the outer surface of the outer root sheath cells. In late anagen, the basal lamina became very thick. In catagen, the basal lamine and the inner collagen layer became corrugated and showed oedematous change and degeneration. Surrounding fibroblasts showed active production of new collagen fibres, which seemed to fill the spaces left by the retraction of the hair follicle and hyaline membrane. These ultrastructural changes of the CTS show that there may be dynamic metabolic changes of the connective tissue around human hair follicles during the hair cycle.

    Notes: Abstract A many-called magnetotactic prokaryote obtained from brackish water was observed to possess intercellular connections at points of contact between the outer membranes of constituent cells. Each aggregate organism consisted of 10 to 30 individual Gram-negative cells containing material with the appearance of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate and magnetosomes of unusual arrangement, structure and composition. The aggregate, which possessed prokaryotic-type flagella arranged at the outwards surfaces of each cell, showed motility indicative of co-ordination between individual component cells. These results suggest that this organism could be a multicellular prokaryote.

    Notes: Summary This study was designed to examine the vascular system of human xenotransplanted tumors on nude mice with different complementary morphometrical and morphological methods. The vascular system shows a chaotic arrangement. There is an extreme heterogeneity in the vascular distribution and density. Large avascular regions could be identified in several non-necrotic tumors. There was no clear difference in the vascular density between the center and the periphery of the tumors, nor was there any zonal correlation for the distribution of the necrosis. With three-dimensional corrosion casts it could be demonstrated that clusters of vessels were directly beneath areas almost free of vessels. In the center, vessels often form a sinusoidal system with numerous blind ends without clearly discernible endothelial cells. Numerous irregular tumor-cell-lined sinusoids are visible next to endothelial-lined vessels with transmission electron microscopy. With scanning electron microscopy it could be demonstrated that large-calibre endotheliazed vessels were found in the direct vicinity or in the center of non-viable zones. Even large-calibre vessels have a capillary wall structure. Sometimes, a basement membrane cannot be observed at all or only incompletely. There are numerous indications of vascular discontinuities and leaks with a widespread intercellular occurrence of blood cells.

    Effects of endogenous and exogenous cholesterol on the ultrastructure and steroid secretion of undifferentiated rat adrenocortical cells in primary culture (1990)

    Notes: Summary The present study was undertaken to define the effects of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol and endogenous, de novo synthesized cholesterol on the ultrastructure and function of undifferentiated rat adrenocortical cells [lipoprotein (HDL3 and LDL) receptor-negative, zona glomerulosa-like adrenocortical cells] in primary culture. For this purpose human plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL3) or low density lipoprotein (LDL) was added to culture medium devoid of cholesterol. Steroid secretion remained at the low basal level even after addition of lipoproteins, and the amount of intracellular lipid droplets did not increase. When mevinolin (0.96 µg/ml), an inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis, was added to the culture medium, a low secretion of corticosterone was measured both in serum-free and serum-containing media. Ultrastructurally, lipid droplets disappeared after treatment with mevinolin in both media used. At this concentration of mevinolin cell proliferation was similar to that in the controls, but at higher concentrations (4.8 or 9.6 µg/ml) proliferation was inhibited to 42% and 26% in serum-free medium, and 20% and 12% in serum-supplemented medium, respectively. This study demonstrates that cell proliferation and synthesis of corticosterone by undifferentiated rat adrenocortical cells is identical in the absence or presence of exogenous lipoprotein cholesterol. Inhibition of de novo cholesterol synthesis by mevinolin over a period of 7 days does not inhibit corticosterone secretion or proliferation of cells but decreases the amount of intracellular lipid droplets, thus suggesting utilization of intracellular cholesterol esters. However, higher concentrations of mevinolin inhibit proliferation of cells both in serum-free and serum-containing media.

    Notes: Summary The phyllobranchiate gills of the green shore crab Carcinus maenas have been examined histologically and ultrastructurally. Each gill lamella is bounded by a chitinous cuticle. The apical surface of the branchial epithelium contacts this cuticle, and a basal lamina segregates the epithelium from an intralamellar hemocoel. In animals acclimated to normal sea water, five epithelial cell types can be identified in the lamellae of the posterior gills: chief cells, striated cells, pillar cells, nephrocytes, and glycocytes. Chief cells are the predominant cells in the branchial epithelium. They are squamous or low cuboidal and likely play a role in respiration. Striated cells, which are probably involved in ionoregulation, are also squamous or low cuboidal. Basal folds of the striated cells contain mitochondria and interdigitate with the bodies and processes of adjacent cells. Pillar cells span the hemocoel to link the proximal and distal sides of a lamella. Nephrocytes are large, spherical cells with voluminous vacuoles. They are rimmed by foot processes or pedicels and frequently associate with the pillar cells. Glycocytes are pleomorphic cells packed with glycogen granules and multigranular rosettes. The glycocytes often mingle with the nephrocytes. Inclusion of the nephrocytes and glycocytes as members of the branchial epithelium is justified by their participation in intercellular junctions and their position internal to the epithelial basal lamina.

    Notes: Summary An ultrastructural study was made of the neurons, satellite cells and vesiculated axons of the intestinal nerve of the domestic fowl. Broad membrane-to-membrane contacts between adjacent nerve cell bodies were sometimes observed. The cell bodies and processes were not always separated from the extracellular space by a capsule of satellite cells. Following fixation using potassium permanganate, catecholamine (CA)-containing neurons in the intestinal nerve, unlike those in the lumbar parasympathetic ganglia, did not possess any small granular vesicles (SGV). Following exposure to noradrenaline, SGV could be demonstrated in the cell bodies of the juxta-ileal ganglia but not the juxta-rectal ganglia of the intestinal nerve. Non-CA axons were examined in tissue from birds that had been pretreated with 6-hydroxydopamine. Approximately one half of the non-CA axons formed axo-somatic contacts. Most of the non-CA axons contained varying proportions of small clear vesicles, large clear vesicles and large granular vescles. Statistical analysis showed that the non-CA axons could not be subdivided according to their vesicle content. CA-axons contained many SGV and were found in close apposition to neuronal somata and processes, and in the neuropil.

    Notes: Summary An ultrastructural study of enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the gastric mucosa of the white-belly opossum Didelphis albiventris (Marsupialia) was carried out. In parallel, histochemical methods were used at the light-microscopical level to demonstrate argentaffin cells, argyrophilic cells, and serotonin- and histamine-immunoreactive elements. Argentaffin and serotonin-immunoreactive cells were scattered, and argyrophilic cells were numerous, within the full thickness of the mucosa. Argyrophilic cell distribution was similar to that of histamine-immunoreactive elements. At the electron-microscopical level, the oxyntic mucosa of D. albiventris presented endocrine cells with secretory granules morphologically similar to those of the ECL cell of eutherian mammals. However, in this marsupial, the ECL cell exhibited a variable mixture of two distinct types of secretory granules: (1) granules with the morphological appearance of the eutherian ECL cell, and (2) granules morphologically similar to those of the eutherian enterochromaffin (EC) cells. Based on this morphological pattern of the ECL cell granules, it is proposed that in the oxyntic mucosa of the opossum D. albiventris, the EC and ECL cells represent distinct steps in the same line of cell differentiation; the ECL cell should also be a site of histamine storage.

    Effects of mevinolin, an inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis, on the morphology and function of differentiating and differentiated rat adrenocortical cells in primary culture (1990)

    Notes: Summary Mevinolin, an inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis, was used to study the effect of endogenous cholesterol synthesis on the morphology and function of differentiating and differentiated fetal rat adrenocortical cells grown in primary culture. Upon adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) stimulation under conditions in which endogenous cholesterol synthesis was inhibited but exogenous (lipoprotein) cholesterol was available, the cells differentiated normally from glomerulosa-like to fasciculata-like cells; the steroid hormone secretion was maximally induced. Under conditions in which cholesterol synthesis was maximally inhibited by mevinolin and the cells had no access to exogenous cholesterol, the cells did not differentiate into fasciculata-like cells; the ACTH-induced steroid response was highly suppressed under these conditions. The addition of either human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or high-density lipoprotein (HDL3) to the culture medium restored the ACTH-induced differentiation and steroid secretion. Thus, in the absence of exogenous cholesterol, endogenous cholesterol synthesis was a prerequisite for differentiation. In cultures grown in the presence of exogenous cholesterol and ACTH with mevinolin-inhibited cholesterol synthesis and high steroid output, an increase in cytoplasmic lipids was evident, suggesting upregulation of LDL and HDL receptors. The results also demonstrated that induction of phenotypic differentiation from glomerulosalike into fasciculata-like cells can proceed in the presence of a cholesterol synthesis inhibitor like mevinolin; this differentiation in the absence of endogenous cholesterol synthesis is accompanied by the appearance of cytoplasmic cholesterol ester droplets, typical of fasciculata cells.

    Notes: Summary Atrial appendage cardiocytes of mammals, including man, contain multiple cytoplasmic granules that vary in number in different physiological states. Using morphologic and comprehensive morphometric techniques, these granules were assessed in Sprague-Dawley rats following dehydration for 5 days, volume-loading by substituting 1% NaCl as drinking water for 7 days, unilateral nephrectomy plus volume-loading for 7 days, and in late term pregnant animals (18–20 days; term ≈21 days). Although principally located in the paranuclear region, granules were observed throughout the sarcoplasm. Cytological features indicative of synthetic activity and granule formation were readily apparent in all groups with the exception of pregnant rats where they were infrequently observed. Granule contents were released by exocytosis and observed in the right appendage of control, dehydrated and nephrectomy/volume-loaded groups and left appendage of volumeloaded animals. Exocytosis was not observed in pregnant animals. By point counting, the proportional volume of cardiocytes occupied by granules (V v ) in controls was significantly greater for right than for left appendage (2.12±0.22% vs 1.29±0.16%; mean±SEM;p〈0.05). A significantly similar difference was found for nephrectomy/volume-loaded animals. There was no significant difference inV v for right appendage between the control and experimental groups; for left appendage there was a significant increase inV v to 2.42±0.09% (p〈0.05) for volume-loaded animals only. Estimation of the maximum diameter of granule profiles in control animals was 238±9 nm and 230±6 nm for right and left appendages, respectively. The profile diameters in the left appendages of dehydrated (202±9 nm) and pregnant (200±7 nm) animals were significantly (p〈0.05) less than those of the control animals. The morphometric findings did not correlate with predictions based upon published biochemical data. In the course of this study, a previously unreported bimembranous, circular to ovoid structure was observed in the cardiocyte sarcoplasm of all animals; the nature and function of this structure is unknown.

    Notes: Summary Short photoreceptor cells of the lamprey retina exhibited a 30% increase in the width of the myoid process and a 20% increase in that of the axonal process during a 12-h light period, compared to the measurements obtained during a 12-h dark period. An increase in the amount of cytoplasm, dilation of ER cisterns, and swelling of the nucleus appeared to cause the enlargement of the myoid parts. Accumulation of synaptic vesicles occurred concurrently with a thickening of the axonal process. These morphological changes presumably represent a phase of the diurnal cycle and current synaptic activity of the short cell. By contrast, the long photorecpetor cell showed neither measurable changes nor any indication of “retinomotor movement”.

    Notes: Summary The paraventricular organ (PVO) and the posterior recess organ (PRO) of two elasmobranch species, the spiny dogfish,Squalus acanthias, and the skate,Raja radiata, were investigated by use of scanning and transmission electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry employing a series of primary antisera. The PVO and PRO contained four types of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-contacting neurons. One type was free of secretory granules and projected a dendrite-like process into the ventricle. The other three types were distinguished according to the size of their secretory granules. The ventricular extensions of these cells were filled with secretory granules. By means of immunocytochemistry three types of CSF-contacting neurons were observed in the PVO and PRO. Type I contained only serotonin; type 2 displayed only somatostatin; type 3 was endowed with both serotonin and somatostatin. Type I dominated in the PRO, whereas type 3 was the most frequent in the PVO. The latter cells appear to be the site of origin of a loose tract formed by serotonin- and somatostatinimmunoreactive fibers projecting from the PVO into the neuropil of the PRO. Compact bundles formed exclusively by serotonin fibers were also shown to extend between the PVO and PRO. The basal processes of the CSF-contacting neurons of the PRO penetrated into the underlying neuropil. This neuropil is rich in synapses and can be regarded as an integrative area to which the basal processes of the local CSF-contacting neurons, serotonin and somatostatin fibers from the PVO, and fibers containing immunoreactive thyrotropin-releasing hormone of unknown origin, support a conspicuous input. The present findings indicate that the PVO and PRO of elasmobranchs are functionally integrated structures.

    Notes: Summary Dopaminergic and peptidergic nerve fibers were simultaneously demonstrated with a double-labeling technique at the ultrastructural level. The first antibody, raised against tyrosine hydroxylase, was applied during the preembedding phase and visualized with the peroxidase method. The second antibody, raised against one of the peptides met-enkephalin, somatostatin or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), was applied to the ultrathin sections and visualized with gold-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG. The fibers of both categories were present in the zona externa of the median eminence, frequently contacting the basal lamina of the portal vessels. In addition, topographical relationships between different types of nerve fibers were observed in the perivascular areas, although there were no morphological signs of synaptic specializations. Using serial sections, it could be established that one GnRH-fiber contacted both a dopaminergic fiber and a fiber immunoreactive for met-enkephalin. The observations support earlier physiological data concerning the regulation of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis, with special emphasis on the release of neurohormones in the median eminence of the newt.

    Notes: Summary Crystalloids were found in Sertoli cells of the testis of the three-toed sloth by examination at the lightand electron-microscopic levels. Needle-, or spindle-shaped crystalloids, varying in length, were located in the basal part of the Sertoli cells. They consisted of bundles of filaments each measuring ~ 11 nm in diameter. Several filaments were packed hexagonally to form a bundle. The center-to-center distance between individual filaments of a bundle was ~ 17 nm. Periodical lateral projections emanated from the filaments. Cross sections of crystalloids showed that the projections radiated from each filament in three directions, forming an equilateral triangle with a side length of ~ 15 nm. Scattered polyribosomes were found between and around the bundles.

    Notes: Summary The organization of testicular interstitial tissue of the spinifex hopping mouse, Notomys alexis differs from that of other rodents. It comprises between 10.3% and 17.3% (average 15.0%) of the total testicular volume, and is variable in its organization both at different locations within the testis of the one animal and among different individuals. Abundant, closely packed Leydig cells are usually present; however, in some regions large, thick-walled blood vessels and extensive peritubular lymphatic spaces, often lacking an endothelium adjacent to the Leydig cells, are also prominent. The Leydig cells in contact with the large blood vessels and lymphatics, unlike those in regions where lymph is sparse, are not densely packed and sometimes contain numerous lipid droplets. Ultrastructure of Leydig cells is typical of steroid-producing cells; however, mitochondria are often extremely large, unusual in shape or bizarely arranged in relation to one another. Also electrondense bodies displaying a paracrystalline-like internal structure of parallel, electron-dense filaments arranged in a lattice pattern occur in the cytoplasm of many cells. The significance of these unusual ultrastructural features and the organization of the interstitial tissue remain to be determined conclusively, but may relate to steroid synthesis, secretion and uptake.

    Notes: Summary The immunoreactivity of atrial natriuretic peptide and ultrastructure of cardiocytes were examined in 5 species each of freshwater and seawater teleosts, as well as in 2 species each of elasmobranchs and cyclostomes. Immunoreactivity was strong in the atria of Cyprinus carpio, Anguilla japonica and Conger myriaster, rather weak in atria of Channa maculata, Lepomis macrochirus, Salmo gairdneri, Oplegnathus fasciatus and Eptatretus burgeri, very weak in atria of Pagrus major, Trachurus japonicus and Triakis scyllia, and not detectable in atria of Hexagrammos otakii, Narke japonica and Lampetra japonica. The immunoreactivity of the atrial cardiocytes was generally stronger in freshwater than seawater fish. Ventricular immunoreactivity was detected only in 7 species, always being weaker than that observed in the atrium. Ultrastructurally, however, secretory granules were found in atria and ventricles of all species examined, being more frequent in the former than the latter. By radioimmunoassay, immunoreactive ANP was detected in the extracts of blood plasma and both atrial and ventricular tissues of all species examined. There were no statistically significant differences in the values between freshwater and seawater species.

    Notes: Summary It has been shown that pulse perfusion of rat liver with a digitonin-containing medium results in a highly zonated hepatocyte permeabilization, allowing selective sampling of cytosolic constituents from periportal and perivenous (centrolobular) hepatocytes “in situ”. In the present paper we provide an ultrastructural evaluation of the perfusion method. Identical changes in hepatocytes from affected periportal and perivenous zones are found. Affected hepatocytes appear light (electron-lucent) in electron micrographs with a sharp transition to normal hepatocytes. The most conspicuous ultrastructural findings are: (1) transformation of the sinusoidal part of the light hepatocytes, the lipocyte processes and the endothelium of affected zones apparently unifying into a continuous layer dominated by disrupted plasma membranes and 7-nm filaments; (2) deposition of osmiophilic digitonin-cholesterol complexes along the sinusoidal plasma membranes of affected zones; and (3) reduction of the cytoplasmic matrix (cytosol) in the light hepatocytes, a dilation of the mitochondrial intermembrane space with a preserved mitochondrial matrix, and a dilation of cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum. The ultrastructural findings are consistent with marker-enzyme activity measured in eluates from digitonin-perfused livers, except that lysosomes appear intact, apparently contrasting with the observed eluation of amyloglucosidase (Quistorff et al. 1985).

    Effect of carbamylcholine on Harderian gland morphology in rats (1990)

    Notes: Summary To determine the effect of cholinergic secretagogue on the Harderian gland of rats, several light- and electron-microscopic parameters were morphometrically assessed at different time intervals after carbamylcholine injection. In controls, two types of glandular cells (type A cells having 40–55 large vacuoles per cell profile and type B cells containing 30–38 smaller vacuoles per cell profile) and myoepithelial cells were recognized. At 5 min after injection of carbamylcholine, when rats secreted “bloody tears”, many alveoli showing narrower lumina and exocytotic figures in both types of cells were observed. Some vacuoles, which were covered by thin cytoplasmic sheets, protruded into the alveolar lumina. However, there was no evidence of apocrine or holocrine secretion. At 30 min and 120 min after injection, most of the alveolar lumina were dilated, and a pronounced decrease in the number of vacuoles in the glandular cells was observed. At 300 min after injection, the secretory vacuoles in both cell types reaccumulated. Transitional forms between the two cell types were not observed. The two types of Harderian gland cells can therefore be considered independent populations rather than different secretory stages of the same cell. It appears that the secretory process of the Harderian gland of rat is affected by cholinergic stimulation of the two types of glandular cells and of myoepithelial cells.

    Effects of visible and ultraviolet radiation on the ultrastructure of zooxanthellae (Symbiodinium sp.) in culture and in situ (1990)

    Notes: Summary Quantitative ultrastructural studies on the effects of visible and ultraviolet radiation on zooxanthellae in culture and in situ showed an inverse relationship between the volume fraction of chloroplast and irridiance. An independent effect of ultraviolet radiation was detected in cultured zooxanthellae only. The volume fraction of chloroplasts in cultured zooxanthellae and zooxanthellae in situ were the same, while the surface density of thylakoid lamellae relative to chloroplast volume in cultured zooxanthellae was less than in zooxanthellae in situ for all irradiances. Additionally, zooxanthellae in situ showed an effect of ultraviolet radiation on surface density of thylakoid lamellae. The response to different irradiances suggests a limit to photoadaptation by means of changing chloroplast volume, and that changes in thylakoid density are responsible for the continued photoadaptive plasticity observed. Flow cytometry and stereological studies show that the volume fraction of accumulation bodies within zooxanthellae increases with irradiance and ultraviolet radiation. Ultrastructurally, accumulation bodies do not resemble plant peroxisomes or glyoxysomes, while other inclusions observed in this stydy are suggestive of peroxisomes. This evidence suggests that accumulation bodies are not peroxisomes, but does support the previous assumptions concerning their role in autophagic processes.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the muscle of the urinary bladder in female rats is similar to that of other visceral muscles, although it is arranged in bundles of variable length, cross-section and orientation, forming a meshwork. When distended, the musculature is 100–120 μm thick, with some variation and occasional discontinuity. Extended areas of cell-to-cell apposition with uniform intercellular space occur between muscle cells, whereas attachment plaques for mechanical coupling are less common than in other visceral muscles. There are no gap junctions between muscle cells. Many bundles of microfilaments and small elastic fibres run between the muscle cells. After chronic partial obstruction of the urethra, the bladder enlarges and is about 15 times heavier, but has the same shape as in controls; the growth is mainly accounted for by muscle hypertrophy. The outer surface of the hypertrophic bladder is increased 6-fold over the controls; the muscle is increased 3-fold in thickness, and is more compact. Mitoses are not found, but there is a massive increase in muscle cell size. There is a modest decrease in percentage volume of mitochondria, an increase in sarcoplasmic reticulum, and no appreciable change in the pattern of myofilaments. Gap junctions between hypertrophic muscle cells are virtually absent. Intramuscular nerve fibres and vesicle-containing varicosities appear as common in the hypertrophic muscle as in controls. There is no infiltration of the muscle by connective tissue and no significant occurrence of muscle cell death.

    Changes in renal morphology and renin secretion in the golden-mantled ground squirrel (Spermophilus lateralis) during activity and hibernation (1990)

    Notes: Summary Chronological changes in renal glomerular morphology and plasma renin activity were investigated during active and hibernating periods in the golden-mantled ground squirrel Spermophilus lateralis. The objective of this study was to determine whether the glomerular endothelium, visceral epithelium (podocytes), basement membrane, mesangial cells, proximal convoluted tubule cells and plasma renin activity exhibit measurable sequential differences between as well as within active and hibernating states at various time points. Limitations in the size of the experimental population prevented an evaluation of changes in these parameters during other important periods such as periodic arousal between hibernation bouts. In this study, glomerular endothelial pore number and epithelial filtration slit number significantly decreased by early hibernation when compared to those during summer activity, and then they increased back toward summer levels by late hibernation. In contrast, podocytic pedicel width along the glomerular basement membrane increased from summer activity to early hibernation, before significantly decreasing again by late hibernation. Mesangial cell and proximal convoluted tubule cell activity appeared increased during hibernation as compared to summer activity, whereas the width of the glomerular basement membrane showed no significant alterations throughout. Plasma renin activity significantly increased during early hibernation and mid-hibernation when compared to summer levels but had decreased by late hibernation toward summer values. The glomerular and plasma renin activity changes observed in this study clearly illustrate the drastic structural and functional adjustments which hibernating species make during torpor and also correlate well with the reported decrease in renal perfusion pressure and urine formation during hibernation. The observed morphological changes during hibernation do not appear to be temperature-dependent, because significant alterations in most of the parameters studied occurred during this period despite the fact that cold-room temperatures were kept constant throughout. The chronological approach to this study and its morphometric evaluation represent a pilot attempt at accurately documenting these changes during two critical states in the hibernator's cycle and may eventually lead to the characterization of these changes during the entire circannual cycle.

    Notes: Summary The freshwater dinoflagellateGymnodinium acidotum is known to harbor a cryptomonad endosymbiont whose chloroplasts give the organism its blue-green coloration. Every cell examined from a wild population possessed chloroplasts, mitochondria, and other organelles which are of endosymbiotic origin. Transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy revealed that only 33% of these cells possessed the nucleus of the endosymbiont. The lack of a cryptomonad nucleus in some cells did not appear to affect the cells' ability to photosynthesize or move in response to varying levels of illumination. This represents the first report of a host/endosymbiont relationship in which a significant number of individuals from a given population lack a major endosymbiont organelle.

    Notes: Summary The feeding behaviour of the rumen ciliatePolyplastron multivesiculatum has been studied with scanning and transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to other large entodiniomorphs,Polyplastron scarcely attaches to plant substrata such as straw or alfalfa; however, it readily phagocytes cellulose fibres (like epidermal bristles of alfalfa) suspended in the rumen fluid. The different stages of ingestion and intracellular degradation of this particular substrate are described at the ultrastructural level. Engulfment involves active movements of the vestibular lips. The digestion follows a peculiar pattern (“permeative” way): the cellulose substrate is gradually decomposed in situ inside the primary digestive vacuole without large fragmentation or pinching off of small vesicles. Thus degradation products are not stored in secondary vesicular systems as they are for other plant substrates (“cytotic” way). Thus, there is no single or general pattern of cellulosic structures lysis in entodiniomorph rumen ciliates. Rather, several pathways can be observed, probably according to the nature of the ingested plant material.

    Notes: Summary The cellular interaction ofTetragoniomyces uliginosus andRhizoctonia sp. was restudied by transmission electron microscopy. During the first stages of interaction a body of medium electron density is visible at the center of the haustorial apex in close association with the plasmalemma. A single micropore is produced between the haustorial filament and the host cell. Cytoplasmic connection via the pore always occurred. The pore membrane is continuous with the plasmalemma of both cells. The protoplasts of both the haustorium and the host cell fuse via the micropore. An electron transparent to dense body occlude the pore. Among basidiomycetes, direct connection between the parasite and host protoplasts represents a hitherto unknown type of parasitic interaction.

    Notes: Summary The effect of selenium deprivation onDaphnia magna was examined under controlled rearing conditions in a synthetic culture medium. After three generations, fertility was significantly reduced in deprived (Se−) animals. Growth and mortality of parent daphnids and development of parthenogenetic eggs were not affected during this period. In the fourth generation Se− daphnids rejected parts of their second antennae. At the ultrastructural level antennal muscle tissue was severely affected. Animals deprived of selenium had mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum with myelin-like alterations. Giant lysosomes were present and complete lysis of muscle fibrils was observed in antennal muscle cells. These alterations are characteristic features of peroxidic damage in tissues. This interpretation is consistent with the function of selenium as a constituent of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase which protects cells from peroxidation. Selenium should be included in synthetic culture media for daphnids.

    Notes: Summary Freeze substitution proved to be a valuable technique for studying the early stages of ascosporogenesis inAscodesmis nigricans. Our observations indicate that the ascus vesicle originated from the ascus plasma membrane. Invaginations of the plasma membrane produced ascus vesicle initials consisting of two closely spaced unit membranes. The appearance of the outer leaflet of each of these membranes was identical to that of the inner leaflet of the ascus plasma membrane. Apparent points of continuity between ascus vesicle initials and the plasma membrane were observed. Ascus vesicle initials accumulated in the ascus cytoplasm near the plasma membrane and then coalesced to form the ascus vesicle, a peripheral, cylinder-like structure consisting of two closely spaced unit membranes that extended from the ascus apex to the ascus base. The ascus vesicle then became invaginated in a number of regions and subsequently gave rise to eight sheet-like segments, or ascosporedelimiting membranes, that encircled uninucleate segments of cytoplasm forming ascospore initials. Like the ascus vesicle, each ascospore-delimiting membrane consisted of two closely spaced unit membranes, the inner of which became the ascospore plasma membrane. The ascospore wall then developed between the spore plasma membrane and the outer membrane. Many details of ascospore maturation were clearly visible in freeze substituted samples.

    Notes: Summary Exposure of growingMicrasterias cells to high (32°–36°C) and low (3°–10°C) temperatures produces changes in morphology that are accompanied by several ultrastructural alterations. Whereas low temperatures essentially cause simplification of cell ornamentation, a variety of cell malformations result from high temperature treatment. These are the loss of cell symmetry leading to markedly aberrant cell shapes and an increase of “main lobes” with reduced degree of differentiation. Preliminary studies indicate that a shift in the distribution of membrane-associated Ca2+ by elevated temperatures probably underlies these abnormal cytomorphogenetic events. Both, low and high temperature cause a reduction in size of the young half cell and affect cytoplasmic streaming. Moreover, nuclear migration is retarded and chloroplast arrangement is influenced by temperature treatment at both ranges. Growth velocity of primary wall responsible for cell shaping is increased at high and slowed down at low temperatures compared to cells grown at 20°C. The main ultrastructural alterations induced by high temperatures are an increase in amount and length of ER cisternae, the appearance of “heat shock granule” aggregations localized in the cytoplasm, a reduced number of ribosomes and polysomes, the presence of oil bodies in growing cells and a varying thickness of the primary wall. Influences of low temperatures on ultrastructure are less pronounced. They are manifested in the formation of large aggregations of ER cisternae slightly differing from those found in untreated cells, a disturbed arrangement of the microtubule system surrounding the nucleus and a decrease of the number of cell wall forming cytoplasmic vesicles. It is thought that most of the temperature effects are due to an influence on membranes probably an alteration of ionic currents and, in addition, a modulation of normal protein synthesis.

    Notes: Summary The dorsal and subventral esophageal glands and their secretory granules in the root-knot nematodeMeloidogyne incognita changed during parasitism of plants. The subventral esophageal glands shrank and the dorsal gland enlarged with the onset of parasitism. While secretory granules formed by both types of glands were spherical, membrane-bound, and Golgi derived, the granules differed in morphology and size between the two types of glands. Subventral gland extensions in preparasitic second-stage juveniles were packed with secretory granules which varied in diameter from 700–1,100 nm and had a finely granular matrix. Within the matrix of each subventral gland granule was an electron-transparent core that contained minute spherical vesicles. The size and position of the core varied within different granules. Few granules were present in the dorsal gland extension in preparasitic juveniles. The matrix of dorsal gland secretory granules formed during parasitism was homogeneous and more electron-dense than the matrix of subventral gland granules. Subventral gland secretory granules of parasitic juveniles and adult females appeared degenerate.

Light microscopic histochemistry indicated that all microhairs studied secrete polysaccharide and protein (or glycoprotein), including those which also secrete salt. Localization of polysaccharide at ultrastructural level using periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazidesilver proteinate staining revealed that in “panicoid type” microhairs dictyosomes are involved in polysaccharide secretion, whereas in the “chloridoid” and “Enneapogon” types “partitioning membranes” seem to be involved instead.

    Notes: Summary Flagellar scales from the green flagellateTetraselmis striata (Prasinophyceae) were isolated, purified by isopycnic cesium chloride-gradient and zonal sucrose gradient centrifugation and their structure and biochemical composition investigated. Three types of flagellar scales were purified to more than 90% purity, a fourth type up to 75% purity. In addition to the previously known types of flagellar scales (pentagonal scales, rod-shaped scales, hair-scales), a novel scale type (i.e., the knotted scales) was discovered. New information about the asymmetric structure of the rod-shaped scales is presented and consequently they are renamed “man scales”. Flagellar scales consist mainly of carbohydrate (50–70%), significant amounts of protein (11% of dry weight) were found only in pentagonal scales. The main sugars (90%) of the pentagonal and man scales are the unusual 2-keto-sugar acids 3-deoxy-5-O-methyl-2-octulosonic acid (5 OMeKDO), 3-deoxy-2-heptulosaric acid (DHA), and 3-deoxy-2-octulosonic acid (KDO), the knotted scales contain as major sugars galactose and arabinose in addition to KDO and 5 OMeKDO but lack DHA. 13 major polypeptides were identified in flagellar scales by one-dimensional SDS-PAGE, 11 of these are of high molecular mass (〉116 kDa). While the majority of polypeptides was found associated with pentagonal scales, at least 4 polypeptides were tentatively assigned to the hair-scales and knotted scales.

    Notes: Summary The vestibular sensory epithelia from two patients with acoustic neurinomas were examined ultrastructurally. Both patients had first undergone posterior fossa operations 8 months and 3 years before residual tumors in the acoustic canals were removed by a secondary translabyrinthine operation. Labyrinthine sensory tissues were also removed for microscopic studies. In case 1, the utricular macula and the lateral and anterior cristae were observed, with all sensory epithelia showing fairly normal findings. Myelinated nerve fibers below the sensory epithelia also appeared normal. In case 2, only the utricular macula could be observed. The sensory epithelium showed severe degeneration, disappearing sensory cells and increasing cytoplasmic filaments of both the sensory cell and the supporting cell. Myelinated nerve fibers below the sensory epithelia were only rarely found.

    Notes: Summary Cations were precipitated with potassiumpyroantimonate in the middle ear mucosa of the rat and the distribution of the formed precipitates was studied by electron microscopy. The precipitate density in various cells of the different epithelia of the middle ear mucosa was determined on electron micrographs by counting the number of precipitates per unit area. Electron spectroscopic imaging was also performed to obtain information about the spatial distribution of the precipitates and their elemental composition.

    Notes: Summary Kartagener's syndrome has been characterized by a primary ultrastructural abnormality of the cilia which consequently impairs their movements. We used transmission electron microscopy with tannic acid staining to investigate the fine structure of the cilia from the nasal mucosa of a 7-year-old girl with Kartagener's syndrome. The staining technique employed was useful for visualizing the dynein arms and protofilaments of the microtubules of the cilia. Although 15% of the cilia examined demonstrated microtubular disarrangements, these findings were considered to be acquired changes due to chronic sinusitis. No abnormal ciliary ultrastructures specific to Kartagener's syndrome, such as absence of dynein arms, were detected in this study. In such cases without any abnormal ciliary ultrastructures, it is conceivable that some other unknown factor may be involved in the impaired ciliary movement.

    Notes: Synopsis At high latitudes, such as in Iceland, the daily photoperiod varies from almost continuous darkness in winter to virtually constant light in summer. Previous studies of detailed retinal structure in vertebrates have shown significant daily and annual effects of photoperiod. We sampled arctic charr in Iceland during the summer, including fish that were both light- and dark-adapted, during both day and night. We observed retinomotor responses characteristic of light- and dark-adaptation, but found no difference in the number of synaptic ribbons in the retina. The morpho-physiological changes, appearing as retinomotor responses, are thus not expressed at the synaptic level.

    Notes: A large number of 1,n-bis(alkylthio)alkanes, R′S(CH2)nSR″, was investigated by pulse radiolysis in aqueous solutions. The sulphur-centred radical cations, which were obtained on oxidation of the dithia compounds by ·OH radicals, are stabilized via 2σ/1σ* three-electron interaction between two sulphur atoms. Intramolecular stabilization is the only process observed for n = 2-4, whereas for longer chain compounds with n 〉 4 some intermolecular sulphur-sulphur interaction is also indicated. The stability and yields of the three-electron-bonded species also depend on the nature of the substituents R′ and R″, and for the intermolecular systems are a function of solute concentration. The results corroborate earlier investigations and demonstrate, in particular, that the optical parameters are a very sensitive measure of changes in electron density and structure of the three-electron-bonded systems.

    Notes: Alkaline hydrolysis of diethyl alkylphosphonates and alkyl diethylphosphinates was studied in aqueous dimethyl sulphoxide. The behaviour of these acyclic phosphorus esters is very similar to that of some cyclic phosphorus esters. Rate constants were measured at three temperatures over a 30°C range, and the activation functions of the reaction were estimated. The basic hydrolytic process was proved to be a bimolecular AE reaction. Multiple regression analyses involving rate constants and substituent parameters gave, as a rule, poor results using steric constants derived from carbon compounds. However, the substituent steric effect on the rate of hydrolysis of phosphonates and phosphinates studied correlated very well with ΔΔE, representing the difference in steric energy calculated by molecular mechanics. It is attributed to the various degrees of susceptibility of carbon and phosphorus atoms to the steric hindrance of the substituents. Moreover, Newman's rule of six for the hydrolytic reaction of carboxylates was completely eliminated in phosphorus ester hydrolysis.

    Notes: The free energy dependence of the kinetic deuterium isotope effect of proton-transfer reactions in solution is usually analysed in terms of the Marcus model. By means of modern computer techniques, the more general quantumstatistical mechanical model is also amenable to routine application. The differnces in the basic assumptions of the two approaches concerning the kinetic isotope effect are discussed. Reaction series for which both the Brønsted relation and the free-energy dependence of the kinetic isotope effect are available are analysed by means of the two models using one set of parameters for both free-energy relations.

    Notes: Strong 1H and 13C nuclear polarizations are observed when aqueous solutions of synthetic water-soluble porphyrins are irradiated in the presence of tyrosine and some of its derivatives. These polarizations are strongly pH dependent. Evidence is also shown for the formation, in the dark, of a complex between the reactants. The association constants are evaluated from the NMR chemical shifts on the aromatic tyrosine protons induced by the presence of the porphyrins. The nature of the intermediate radical pair generating the CIDNP effects is discussed. An electron-transfer reaction from tyrosine to the excited triplet state of the porphyrin, or within the porphyrin-tyrosine excited complex, is expected to be the primary step in the reaction. It is followed by subsequent proton transfer within the initial ion radical pair. The spin polarizations arise principally from the back-transfer step, as the reactants are the only products which are polarized.

    Notes: The intersecting-state model previously used to interpret proton transfers in ground and excited states and enzyme catalysis was applied to the general acid-base catalysis of carbon acids. The results are consistent with the predictions published for these systems and provide a new physical meaning for the Brønsted coefficients. It is shown that in addition to the linear free energy effect, the Brønsted coefficients are also influenced by the tightness of the transition states and by electronic effects. The model suggests that the increased reactivity of carbon acids towards proton transfer in non-hydrogen-bonding solvents is caused by an added electronic effect on the thermodynamics of the reactions. The curvatures of the Brønsted plots are interpreted in terms of an entropic contribution to the position of the transition state.

    Notes: Gas-phase nitration of thiophene (1) and N-Methylpyrrole (2) was studied by radiolytic tecniques, supported by chemical ionization mass spectrometry. The substrate and positional selectvities of protonated alkyl nitrtes (CH3NO3H+, CF3CH2NO3H+) were deduced from competitive reactions with bezene performed under different conditions. The apparent kS/kB ratios, which are independent of the pressure and unaffected by the presence of a strong base (NEt3), depend on the nature of the electrophile, passing for 1 and 2 from 7·2 and 6·4, respectively, with CH3NO3H+ to 1·1 and 1·0, respectively, with the more reactive fluorinated caution. Predominant (88%) α-substitution takes place in 1, whereas no appreciable positional discrimination is displaced by 2. The results suggest that the electrophilic attack can also occur a the heteroatom, and point to the same mechanism postulated for gasphase nitration of aromatic substrates, the reactivity being essentially governed by electrostatic interactions within the ‘encounter pair’.

    Notes: The interconversion between two equivalent enol forms of 3-hydroxyphenalenone took place predominantly through a diketo form with a free energy of activation of ca 14 kcal mol-1 in DMSO solution determined by 125·8 MHz13C NMR measurement. On the other hand, the corresponding interconversion in 2-carboxy-3-hydroxyphenalenone was not frozen on the time scale of 13C NMR spectroscopy down to -60°C. This acceleration in the interconversion rate of the latter may be interpreted by a double proton switching between the hydrogen-bonded 2-carboxyl and 3-hydroxyenone moieties.

    Notes: The kinetics of reactions between 2-phenylethyl benzenesulphonates (2-PEB) and benzylamines in acetonitrile at 65·0°C have been studied; the mechanism was examined on the basis of the sign and magnitude of cross-interaction constants ρij and βij. In contrast to the reactions of 2-PEB with anilines in methanol, participation of the aryl-assisted pathway was negligible, with a strong indication that the reaction proceeds largely by an intermolecular SNi mechanism with a four-centre transition state (TS). The effect of substituents on the TS variation was in accord with the predictions of the quantum mechanical model.

    Notes: The solvent polarity of a series of organic salts in their molten state has been determined using the solvatochromic dyes: pyridinium N-phenolate betaine, the basis of the ET scale, and N,N-diethyl-4-nitroniline, one of the primary standards for the π* scale. Each of these dyes was dissolved in the following liquids: lithium acetate-sodium acetate-potassium acetate eutectic; ethylammonium chloride; dimethylammonium cloride; diethylammonium nitrate; ammonium trifluoracetate; tetraethylammonium acetate; tetrabutylphosphonium chloride; octyltributylphosphonium chloride; dodecyltributylphosphonium chloride; tetrabutylammonium bromide; tetrabutylphosphonium bromide; octyltributylphosphonium bromide; dodecyltributylphosphonium bromide; octyltributylphosphonium iodide; dodecyltributylphosphonium iodide; tetrahexylammonium benzoate; methyltrioctylphosphonium dimethylphosphate; and methyltrioctylammonium chloride. The ultraviolet and visible spectra were measured for each of these. In addition, data were collected as a function of temperature and in the presence of neutral and ionic additives. In general, these molten salts represent solvent polarities equivalent to moderately polar aprotic solvents such as acetone and acetonitrile. The salts with cations capable of being hydrogen bond donors gave considerably higher values, equivalent to or higher than water, the solvent with the highest value on the ET scale. These and the eutectic mixture are thought to involve specific dye-solvent interactions which cause these anomalously high values.

    Activation barriers in photosensitized pyrimidine dimer splitting (1990)

    Notes: Pyrimidine dimers, which form by a symmetry allowed (πs2 + πs2) photocycloaddition reaction, are subject to photosensitized cycloreversion by electron donors, such as indoles. In a linked dimer-indole system, photoinitiated electron transfer occurs intramolecularly from indole to dimer to produce a charge-separated species (dimer-.-indole+.). This species undergoes cycloreversion in competition with back electron transfer. Studies of the temperature dependence and solvent dependence of this competition have allowed the relative values of the activation parameters for the competing processes to be determined. In water (5-65°C) the free energy of activation of splitting minus that of back electron transfer (ΔΔG≠ = ΔGspl≠ - ΔGbet≠) was found to be 1·3 kcal mol-1. The enthalpy of activation difference (ΔΔH≠) was found to be 1·1 kcal mol-1 and the entropy of activation difference (ΔΔS≠) was found to be -0·51 cal mol-1 K-1. In EPA (diethyl ether-isopentane-ethanol, 5:5:2; -85 to 25°C) the value of ΔΔG≠ remained the same, but the entropy and enthalpy contributions were different (ΔΔH≠ = 0·72 kcal mol-1; ΔΔS≠ = -1·8 cal mol-1 K-1). The results have been interpreted in terms of the effect of the polarity of the solvent on the transition states for the two competing processes. Enthalpy effects retard splitting more in water than in EPA, whereas entropy effects favor back electron transfer more in EPA than in water. Potential implications of these results for the mechanism of enzymatic photocycloreversion of pyrimidine dimers in DNA are considered.

    Notes: The reactions of a series of 3-(p-substituted phenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ones with piperidine and morpholine in methanol were studied and their rates measured. The products were 3-piperidino- and 3-morpholino-3-(p-substituted phenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-ones. 1H NMR spectra were used to determine the configurations of the obtained products. A good Hammett correlation was obtained with ρ values of 1·15-1·10 and 1·15-0·53 for piperidine and morpholine, respectively, which suggest a carbanionic character of the transition state. A two-step mechanism is postulated for these nucleophilic additions.

    Notes: The 19F NMR spectra of 30 substituted α,β,β-trifluorostyrenes (Y-TFSs, 1) covering a diverse range of substituents are reported and discussed. Values (δF1, δF2, Δδ3 - 1 and Δδ3 - 2) derived from the 19F NMR chemical shifts of the fluorine atoms of 1 are found to correlate very well with σI and σR0. The results of the correlations of the 19F chemical shifts with dual (σF and σR) and triple parameter (σF, σR and σα) treatments are compared. An unresolved substituent parameter σmb, is proposed for applications to systems in which the substitutent Y interacts with a multiple bond and is compared with σ+.

    Notes: The potential energy surface for the addition of the hydride ion to hydrogen isocynide reported previously was re-examined. An improved energy surface was explored at the MP2/6-31 + + G** level while relative energies were estimated at the MP4SDTQ/6-311 + + G** level and corrected for zero-point vibrational contributions. The calculated results show the existence of transition structures for both cis and trans-additions of H- to the carbon end of HN≡C even though the corresponding barrier heights are small. These transition structures did not exist at a lower level of theory (HF/4-31G) employed previously.The cis addition is calculated to be favoured over the trans addition by 10 kcal mol-1. The overall addition is thus strongly stereoselective, if not purely stereospecific. This result confirms our previous analysis of the stereoelectronic effect in the addition-elimination process involving imidoyl anions as intermediates. Recent experimental work on the addition of OH- to ArN≡C is discussed.

    Notes: The peak potentials of substituted α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenones were measured in acetonitrile with 0·1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate. The cyclic voltammograms indicated an irreversible electrochemical process for the first wave (Epc1) and a partially reversible one for the second wave (Epc2) when the scan rate was slower than 100 mV s- 1. Excellent linear correlations were observed for Epc1 with σ constants (ρ = 0·526, r = 0·999) and for Epc2 with σ- constants (ρ = 0·605, r = 0·998), respectively. Therefore, unknown σ values such as -0·36 for 3, 4-ethyleneoxy can be estimated from these correlations. The mechanism of the electrode process probably involves a single electron transfer and the formation of a pinacol.

    Notes: The deprotonation reaction mechanism of methyl diethylphosphonoacetate in the presence of lithium salts and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) was examined by infrared spectroscopy. It was found that the intermediate species formed by chelation of the bidentate phosphonate with a lithium cation or an ion pair of the salt deaggregated by DBU takes part in the reaction path. The role of the anion X- is to induce the elimination of a protonated DBUH+X- ion pair and that of the solvent is to compete with the bidentate phosphonate in cation solvation. A similar mechanism via a related intermediate is proposed to interpret the results obtained by other workers on the catalysis by Ba(OH)2 of the Wittig-Horner reaction.

    Notes: The enumeration and development of conceptual tools for understanding the chemical properties of practical benzenoid hydrocarbons is stressed. Currently known isomer numbers for benzenoids having up to 60 carbons are summarized. Although there are well over 2 million isomers in this range, only approximately 500 benzenoid hydrocarbons have been characterized.

    Notes: The acetylation (with acetic anhydride-pyridine in tetrahydrofuran) of the ortho, meta and para isomers of bis(hydroxymethyl)benzene (1) was studied. Third-order rate constants k1 (formation of monoacetate 2 from 1) and k2 (formation of diacetate 3 from 2) for all three isomers were determined, as were the rate constants for acetylation of benzyl alcohol and its ortho- and para-ethyl derivatives under the same conditions. The compositions of the final product mixtures (comprising 1, 2 and 3) were ascertained as a function of the initial ratio of acetic anhydride to 1. Comparisons were made with predictions based on a previously published independent functional groups model, which assumes that k2/k1 = 0·50. All three isomers gave product mixtures whose compositions were in generally good agreement with predictions based on the model. For the para and meta isomers the ratios k2/k1 were determined experimentally to be 0·548 and 0·521, respectively. The k2/k1 ratio for the ortho isomer was found to be 0·605, and its k1 and k2 values were lower than those for the para and meta isomers. Possible explanations for the anomalous behavior of the ortho isomer are discussed.

    Notes: Chlorocyclohexane does not react in the dark with diphenylphosphide ions in liquid ammonia, but it reacts under irradiation to give the substitution product. Bromocyclohexane reacts slowly in the dark, but this reaction is strongly accelerated by light, and inhibited by p-dinitrobenzene. 3-Bromo-2-tetrahydropyranyl allyl ether (used as a radical probe) reacts with diphenylphosphide ions under irradiation to give both the straightforward and the cyclized substitution products. This photostimulated reaction is also inhibited by p-dinitrobenzene. It is suggested that the chlro-bromocyclohexanes and related compounds react under irradiation by the SRN1 mechanism of nucleophilic substitution.

    β-Secondary deuterium isotope effect and solvent isotope effects in catalysis by subtilisin BPN′ (1990)

    Notes: Subtilisin BPN′ catalyzes the hydrolysis in protium and deuterium oxides of p-NO2C6H4OCOCL2NHCO2CH2C6H5(L = H, D) in the pH(D) range 5·0-8·5 (H2O) and 5·4-9·0 (D2O), according to simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The parameter kcat/Km exhibits pH(D) inflection points of 7·17 ± 0·05 (H2O) and 7·69 ± 0·08 (D2O), and kcat shows 6·88 ± 0·05 (H2O) and 7·50 ± 0·07 (D2O). The ‘normal’ ΔpK values of 0·5-0·6 indicate no unusual effects of D2O on enzyme properties. The solvent isotope effects (H2O/D2O) on the limiting values of the rate constants at high pH(D) are 1·13 ± 0·07 for kcat/Km and 1·29 ± 0·05 for Kcat. These small effects indicate no more than minor contributions of general acid-base catalysis for rate-limiting events for either kcat/Km or kcat. The β-deuterium secondary isotope effects (2H/2D) are roughly estimated by extrapolation as 0·95 ± 0·01 for kcat/Km, corresponding to substantial tetrahedral character in the transition state, and 1·03 ± 0·03 for kcat, consistent with no tetrahedral character. Models consistent with these results have as rate-limiting events for kcat/Km nucleophilic attack by active-site imidazole and for kcat, among other possibilities, the release of carboxylate product from the imidazolium form of the enzyme.

    Notes: The gas-phase thermal decomposition of diacetyl compounds, (CH3CO)2X with X = O and S, was investigated theoretically using the semiempirical MO methods MNDO and AM1. The initial decomposition of the diacetyl compounds proceeded through a six-membered ring transition state involving the keto form with a slightly lower activation enthalpy for diacetyl sulphide (X = S); the process via an enolic form of the transition state was kinetically unfavourable. In the initial decomposition of the diacetyl compounds and in the subsequent pyrolysis of acetic and thioacetic acid, ketene formation was found to be the most preferred path, where the ease of Cα—X bond cleavage is relatively more important than nucleophilic attack on the β-hydrogen in determining the overall reactivity. In the methane formation process, the reactivity was entirely dependent on the X—H bond strength in CH3COXH where X = S, NH and O.

    Notes: The antioxidant activity of 2-hydroxyestradiol was measured quantitatively and compared with those of other estrogens in oxidations of methyl linoleate in homogeneous solution and in aqueous dispersions, oxidations of soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomal membranes and oxidative haemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes, all induced by free radicals generated from a radical initiator. Similar antioxidant activities of estrogens were observed, irrespective of the oxidation system. 2-Hydroxyestradiol was found to be a potent radical scavenger and its antioxidant activity was close to that of α-tocopherol, the strongest natural antioxidant. Other phenolic estrogens such as estrone, estriol and β-estradiol showed a modest antioxidant activity and testosterone did not act as an antioxidant.

    Notes: 2-Diazopropane, generated by photolysis of 2-methoxy-2,5,5-trimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazoline, was trapped in situ by cycloaddition to norbornene, endo- and exo-5-methylnorbornene, endo- and exo-5-phenylnorbornene, endo- and exo-5-methoxycarbonyl norbornene and endo- and exo-dicyclopentadiene. In all cases, only exo addition was observed. In spite of the exo approach of diazopropane to the norbornene double bond, endo substituents at C-5 and/or C-6 influenced the regiochemistry of addition whereas exo substituents did not. The results are interpreted in terms of a concerted, asynchronous mechanism in which C—C bond formation runs well ahead of N—C bond formation, as predicted from theory. The regiochemical control exercised by apparently remote endo substituents provides a new experimental criterion for asynchrony or synchrony of cycloadditions that are known to be concerted.

    Notes: Gas-phase acidities of acrolein and methyl acrylate were measured by bracketing in a flowing afterglow/SIFT apparatus. For acrolein ΔG°acid = 369 ± 4 kcal mol-1 and for methyl acrylate ΔG°acid = 373 ± 4 kcal mol-1. These acidities are substantially lower than those of the saturated analogs propionaldehyde and methyl acetate, respectively, even though hydrogens attached to sp2-hybridized carbon are intrinsically more acidic than those attached to sp3-hybridized carbon. Resonance stabilization of the neutral form by conjugation of the C=C double bond with the carbonyl group and allenic destabilization of the anionic form of the two acids can account for the relatively low acidities.

    Notes: The 4,9-dimethyltricyclo [3.3.1.02,8]nona-3,6-dien-9-yl (4,9-dimethyl-9-barbaralyl) cation (3) was generated from 4,9-dimethyl-9-barbaralol (5) at -135°C in two different superacid mixtures [FSO3H—SO2CIF—SO2F2(1:6:1) and FSO3H—SO2CIF—SO2F2—CHCl2 (2:10:10:1 by volume)]. Its 1H and 13CNMR spectra show a strong temperature dependence in the range -150 to -125°C. The changes in band shapes with temperature show that the following exchanges take place: 4-methyl with 9-methyl, C-4 with C-9, C-1 with C-3 and C-2 with C-8. C-5, C-6 and C-7 are found not to exchange rapidly either with each other or with the other carbons in 3. The mechanism of this novel rearrangement is suggested to involve the bicyclic 2,7-dimethylbicyclo [3.2.2] nona-3,6,8-trienyl cation and the secondary barbaralyl cation 4,6-dimethyltricyclo [3.3.1.02,8] nona-3,6-dien-9-yl as intermediates rather than 7,8-dimethyl bicyclo [3.2.2] nona-3,6,8-trienyl cation, which does not have a methyl group on the allyl cation moiety. Comparisons with rearrangement mechanisms for other barbaralyl cations were also made. The rate constant for the degenerate rearrangement of 3 is 160 s-1 at -140°C, which corresponds to ΔG≠s = 26 kJ mol-1 (6·3 kcal mol-1). At -125°C ion 3 rearranges non-degenerately to the 1,4-bishomotropylium cation 1,8-dimethylbicyclo [4·3·0] nona, 2,4,7-trienyl (4) with k = 3 × 10-4 s-1. A mechanism for this rearrangement and the synthesis and purification of the ion precursor 4 are also reported.

    Notes: Dephosphorylation of p-nitrophenyl diphenylphosphate (pNPDPP) by OH- in aqueous cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) is inhibited by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuO2H), which reduces the binding of OH-, and whose anion is a relatively ineffective nucleophile. Reaction is faster in microemulsions of CTACl, n-octane and OH-, with t-BuO2H as cosurfactant, than in otherwise similar microemulsions with t-butyl alcohol as cosurfactant. Dephosphorylation by m-chloroperoxybenzoate ion is slower in microemulsions of cetyltrimethylammonium mesylate or benzenesulfonate, with n-octane and tert-butyl alcohol, than in cationic micelles, but a wide range of concentrations can be examined. The reaction rates qualitatively follow the concentration of peroxy acid relative to surfactant, and inert anions slow the reaction. Dephosphorylation by peroxyphthalate dianion in micelles of CTACl fits a pseudophase kinetic model, except in very dilute surfactant where reaction is faster than predicted.

    Notes: 9,10-Dicyanoanthracene (DCA) sensitized the photooxygenation of 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene(1a) and its 4,4′-dimethoxy derivative (1b) to afford the corresponding endoperoxides 2 and the other oxidized products such as aldehydes and epoxides. The mechanism of the DCA-sensitized photooxygenation of 1 was diversified by solvent polarity. In non-polar solvents the reaction involves an exciplex intermediate, which leads to formation of triplet DCA (3DCA*) with an efficiency of 0·64 in the case of 1a. The resulting 3DCA* acts as a sensitizer for the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) and thus 1O2 reaction occurs exclusively to give 2. On the other hand, single electron-transfer quenching of 1DCA* by 1 is feasible in polar acetonitrile and a primary ion pair can be formed. Competing with fast back electron-transfer deactivation, the primary ion pair produces free ions in limited yield to furnish electron transfer oxygenation. In the case of the DCA-1a system, free ions were produced with an efficiency of ca 4%. Thus, in acetonitrile, electron-transfer oxygenation partly took place to give the other oxidized products, whereas the 1O2 pathway was still valid and responsible for the formation of 2. The effect of solvent polarity was apparently less pronounced in the case of 1b because the reactivity of 1b toward 1O2 is about five times higher than tht of 1a. For such 1O2-reactive substrates, the electron-transfer pathway would become dominant only when the substrate concentration is impractically high.

    Notes: The second-order rate constants of the reactions between benzenesulphonyl chlorides and anionic nucleophiles, benzoates and cinnamates, in methanol at 30·0°C are reported. A marked increase in rate found with a p-nitro substituent in the substrate indicated the development of an electron-rich centre on the S atom in the transition state. The two types of cross-interaction constants, ρxy and λxy, suggested that bond formation in the SN2 transition state with anionic nucleophiles is greater than that for the corresponding reaction with aniline nucleophiles.

    Notes: pKa′ Values are reported for two 2H-pyrroles and their 3H-pyrrole isomers. The latter have basicities of the same order as similarly substituted pyridines, whereas the former are 2-2·5 pK units more basic, 2,2,3,5-tetramethyl-2H-pyrrole having a pKa′ of 8·40, close to that for 2-aminoimidazole. Possible reasons are given.

    Notes: A new criterion for the reactivity of π electron systems is proposed. The method incorporates and modifies ideas of Coulson and Fukui et al. about free valence. The proposed reactivity index includes covalent and lonic components and is suitable for elctrophilic, radical and nucleophillic attack. The method is tested for a few simple π systems and differences from Coulson and Fukui et al. are discussed. Finally, it is applied to the electrophilic attack of a series of substituted benzenes and to nucleophilic attack of a series of subsituted benzoic acid esters.
