    Notes: Abstract We report our results on the ultrastructure of 21 ependymomas and establish the following diagnostic criteria: 1. Glycogen is the most frequently encountered criterion, followed by desmosomes, cilia, basal bodies and microvilli. Fifteen tumors had 3 or more of these features. 2. The allegedly typical nuclear pattern was found in only 6 cases. 3. Special ultrastructural features seen include basement membranes in a mid-thoracic ependymoma. Furthermore we propose the hypothesis that glycogen might be involved in cilia assembly.

    Notes: Summary Broad bean (Vicia faba) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) includes three circular plasmids: mt-plasmid 1 (1,704 ntp), mt-plasmid 2 (1,695 ntp) and mt-plasmid 3 (1,476 ntp). Partially replicated circular forms of these mt-plasmids have been observed in electron microscope preparations. Restriction enzymes that cleave either mt-plasmid 2 (but not mt-plasmids 1 and 3) or mt-plasmid 3 (but not mt-plasmids 1 and 2) were used to generate linear forms of partially replicated mt-plasmid 2 and mt-plasmid 3 molecules. Analyses of these linearized replicative intermediates, observed by electron microscopy, indicated that in both mt-plasmid 2 and mt-plasmid 3 replication originates at a specific location and proceeds in the same, single direction around the molecules. The replication origins of mt-plasmid 2 and mt-plasmid 3 map close to sequences that can fold into hairpin structures.

    Notes: Summary Peripheral neuroectodermal tumours (PNET) of bone are rare and mimick those seen in soft tissue (peripheral neuroepithelioma of soft tissue). Their differential diagnosis from Ewing's sarcoma (Es) is extremely difficult by optical means. Here we report 14 new cases of PNET of bone (other than Askin's neoplasm) located primarily in the limbs, pelvic girdle and scapula. Clinically and radiologically they displayed Ewing's sarcoma-like features: mean age was 14.4 years, male/ female ratio being 3:11. Metastasis was present in 6 cases at diagnosis (5 with bone metastasis). Prognosis was poor; thirteen patients died; only one with a metatarsal located tumour is alive and free of disease. The mean survival rate was 25 months following diagnosis and treatment with radio- and multimodal chemotherapy. Histologically the 14 cases displayed Homer-Wright rosettes and pseudorosette-like structures, as well as a fibrillary background and lobular pattern. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity in a number of neural markers when using paraffin-embedded material: NSE, B-2-microglobuline, HNK-1 (leu-7) and E-36 antibodies. At EM level the cell cytoplasms evidenced dense-core granules with neurosecretion, neurotubules and intermediate filaments like those seen in peripheral neuroepithelioma.

    Notes: Summary The type, differentiation and histogenesis of the tumor cells of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) have been analyzed in a series of ten cases by a light-microscopic, ultrastructural, immunohistochemical and cytologic investigation and quantitative DNA analysis. Four tumors deviated from ordinary ASPS: three were wholly or partly of the so-called pleomorphic variant of ASPS and a fourth tumor showed calcifications of the psammoma body type. The ultrastructural findings and immunohistochemical demonstration of desmin supported the hypothesis of a rhabdomyomatous differentiation and gave no support to epithelial (negative immunoreactions for cytokeratins, epithelial membrane antigen, HMFG-1 and -2, tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA)) or neuroectodermal (negative for S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, neurofilaments) differentiation. The negative immunoreactions for vimentin and myoglobin and the positive reaction for neuron specific enolase (NSE) do not exclude a rhabdomyomatous differentiation since in rhabdomyosarcomas the undifferentiated rhabdomyoblasts generally contain vimentin and the differentiated tumor cells contain myoglobin and rhabdomyosarcoma has previously been reported as being positive for NSE. The production of external lamina material peripherally in the tumor cell nests and around vessels in the vascular septa was demonstrated both ultrastructurally and by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against collagen IV and laminin. The cytologic appearance in smears obtained by fine-needle aspiration from a case of the pleomorphic variant showed some resemblance to that of a carcinoma. The seven tumors with an ordinary cell appearance were found to show a diploid DNA-distribution at a quantitative analysis performed on paraffin sections, while the three tumors wholly or partly of the pleomorphic type showed an additional tetraploid peak.

    Notes: Summary Three cases of HL from the lateral border of the tongue of male homosexual AIDS patients were investigated by thin section electron microscopy. Keratinocytes contained condensed chromatin in their pyknotic nuclei and a few organelles in the oedematous cytoplasm. Chromatin was in close association to the nuclear membrane and showed a punched-out appearance. Particles typical of the herpes virus group were abundant in the upper two thirds of the epithelium in all three cases. Virus particles were seen frequently in the nuclei of the ballooned keratinocytes, but rarely in cells containing Candida albicans. Viral nucleocapsids were observed budding at the inner nuclear membrane, thereby acquiring the prospective viral envelope. Complete, enveloped virions were found in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the extracellular space. These virions were identified immunohistochemically as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using two monoclonal antibodies directed against EBV capsid and membrane antigen, respectively. Candida albicans was observed in the stratum corneum and in the upper layer of the stratum spinosum. Special cytoplasmic tubular structures arranged in parallel bundles were found in koilocytotic cells in addition to characteristic membrane structures composed of undulating convoluted membranes. Epithelial basement membranes were always intact.

    Notes: Summary Morphometric studies were carried out on five ultrastructural measures of size or quantity of some of the intracellular organelles in monoblasts obtained from six patients diagnosed as having acute monoblastic leukaemia and also on monocytes from six normal controls. The morphometric measures were analysed using a one way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to see whether acute monoblastic leukaemic cells differed from those of normals. It was found that there was a highly significant decrease both in the surface to volume ratio of mitochondria and also in the surface to volume ratio of the nucleus. The possible physiological significance of these structural changes is stressed.

    Notes: Summary The reports concerns the light microscopical and ultrastructural findings obtained in three conventional osteosarcomas with an unusually high admixture of clear cells, whose presence appeared to be responsible for the marked change in the histological pattern of these tumours. In the tumours with a prevailing fibroblastic component the clear cells were either irregularly scattered throughout the tumour in the form of small groups, or they formed large groups sharply demarcated against the fusicellular areas of the tumours. In two cases it was shown that their cytoplasm contained exaggerated glycogen deposits accompanied by the formation of glycogen-containing phagolysosomes and occasional empty vacuoles. In the third case the clear cells showed vacuolar degeneration with numerous single-membrane-bound, empty vacuoles. In contrast to the clear-cell chondrosarcoma we did not find S-100 protein in clear cells of our osteosarcomas. Such findings could be particularly significant in the differential diagnosis of bone tumours.

    Oncocytomas and null cell adenomas of the human pituitary: Morphometric and in vitro functional comparison (1988)

    Notes: Summary In this study, light microscopic and ultrastructural morphometric features of oncocytomas and null cell adenomas were compared and the morphometric data were correlated with in vitro endocrine activity. All tumours were unassociated with clinical or biochemical evidence of hormone excess and were diagnosed as oncocytomas or null cell adenomas, using histology, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. In oncocytomas, when compared with null cell adenomas, light microscopic morphometry revealed that total cell areas were significantly larger and nuclear cytoplasmic ratios were smaller due to an increase in cytoplasmic areas. Ultrastructural morphometry disclosed an abundance of mitochondria in oncocytomas. Absolute volumes of cytoplasmic organelles per cell were not reduced in oncocytomas compared with those of null cell adenomas. These results indicate that accumulating mitochondria do not replace other cytoplasmic organelles, and furthermore that the functional potential of oncocytomas is not lost. In vitro study demonstrated the production of pituitary hormones, primarily gonadotropins in oncocytomas and null cell adenomas. It can be concluded that oncocytomas, which represent the final stage of oncocytic transformation, have a close relationship with null cell adenomas based on morphometric comparison as well as in vitro studies.

    Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the urinary bladder (1988)

    Notes: Summary Small cell carcinoma with the histological appearance of pulmonary small cell carcinoma is a rare tumour in the urinary bladder. In previous case reports the neuroendocrine nature of small cell bladder carcinoma has been accepted, but on review the evidence for true neuroendocrine differentiation appears unsatisfactory. In this study the histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural characteristics of three cases of small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder are described. Ultrastructurally, the cytoplasm of all three tumours contained neurosecretory-type granules and each of the tumours demonstrated positive immunoreaction for two or more neuroendocrine markers, from a panel including neuron-specific enolase, chromogranin A, Leu-7, bombesin and synaptophysin. Although the combination of ultrastructural and immunohistochemical examination obviously offers the strongest evidence in establishing neuroendocrine differentiation, it is argued that immunohistochemistry alone may also yield important information in demonstrating a neuroendocrine nature, provided that at least neuron-specific enolase and synaptophysin are included as markers. The clinical relevance of identifying neuroendocrine differentiation in small cell bladder carcinoma is suggested by the favourable response to combination chemotherapy in two of our cases.

    Structural changes in the rat brain after carotid infusions of hyperosmolar solutions (1988)

    Notes: Summary Infusion of hypertonic solutions into the carotid artery is one method by which the blood-brain barrier (BBB) can be opened transiently in experimental animals. This technique has also been tried in clinical situations in which an enhanced uptake of intravenously injected chemotherapeutic drugs into the brain is desired. We have previously found that infusion of hypertonic mannitol or urea into the carotid artery of the rat, leading to a BBB opening, is associated with light microscopic signs of cellular damage in the brain parenchyma. An electron microscopic study has now been made to obtain more detailed information about the events taking place in the rat brain 1 to 72 h after an intracarotid infusion of hyperosmolar solution of mannitol. Toluidine blue-stained semithin epon sections were also available for high-resolution light microscopy of brain samples from urea-infused animals. Intravenously injected Evan's blue dye was used to confirm that BBB opening had occurred as a consequence of the carotid infusions. The infused hemispheres had numerous structural changes. The dominating light microscopic alteration was the presence of multifocal lesions in the gray or the white matter with closely packed microvacuoles causing status spongiosus. Ultrastructurally the microvacuoles corresponded to very pronounced watery swelling of astrocytic processes and to a minor degree to expansion of dendrites and axons. There was also a light or moderate perivascular astrocytic swelling. In the “spongy” lesions as well as occasionally in non-vacuolated parts of the cerebral cortex, there were collapsed electron-dense neurons with pronounced mitochondrial alterations such as severe swelling associated with rupture of christae. Rats with a survival period of 24 h or 72 h showed several disintegrating neurons and accumulation of macrophages. This study shows that carotid infusion of hypertonic mannitol in the rat may cause pronounced neuronal changes as well as multifocal astrocytic swelling. The severity of the nerve cell changes and the presence of macrophages indicate that some of the alterations are irreversible and thus, such a procedure may not be as safe as previously suggested.

    Nerve cell injury in the brain of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (1988)

    Notes: Summary The brain lesions in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) are characterized by multifocal microvascular and spongy-cystic parenchymal alterations particularly in the gray matter. An essential feature of the lesions is the presence of edema with massive extravasation of plasma constituents as evidenced by specific gravity measurements, Evans blue technique and immunohistochemistry. The nerve cell injury occurring in the brain lesions in SHRSP is further characterized by light and electron microscopy in the present study. Two types of neuronal changes were seen within the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage sites. A small number of neurons with dark condensed nucleus and cytoplasm were found most often at the periphery of recent lesions. The majority of injured neurons were pale and showed intracellular edema confined to the dendrites and perikarya sparing axons and synapses. Their nuclei were weli preserved with finely dispersed chromatin. The swollen and watery cell processes of neurons and astrocytes gave a spongy appearance to the neuropil. The intracellular edema seemed to result in cytolysis. The results suggest that primary anoxiaischemia is not the major pathogenetic mechanism behind the nerve cell injury in severely hypertensive SHRSP, rather it is the massive BBB leakage and consequent brain edema that causes cytolytic destruction of neurons. Secondary focal ischemia as a consequence of occlusion in microvessels may, however, contribute to the nerve cell destruction.

    Notes: Summary The isthmic nucleus (IN) of the frog brain forms a linkage, relaying visual information from one tectum to the other. It receives afferent input from the tectum of the same side and projects bilaterally to both tecta. The ultrastructural features of the tecto-isthmic synaptic connections were studied in young postmetamorphic Xenopus frogs. Most synaptic profiles in the isthmic nucleus have spheroidal vesicles and an asymmetric zone of apposition. Frequently, synaptic glomeruli consisting of up to 8 terminal boutons surrounding a shaft dendrite were observed. The syanptic density in the rostral IN was slightly higher than in the middle or caudal portions. Partial deafferentation by transection of the tectoisthmic pathway or total deafferentation by removal of the tectum was followed by a widespread degeneration of terminals in the ipsilateral IN. In the former case, the density of synapses in the IN decreased initially by about 64%, and then increased by 30 days after operation to about 50% of the normal synaptic density. After tectal removal, all the terminal boutons in the isthmic neuropil degenerated by 3 days after operation. These studies, along with recent findings, indicate that most, if not all, of the afferent fibres to IN are of tectal origin.

    Notes: Summary The fine structure of neuronal somata and axosomatic synapses in each subnucleus of Gudden's tegmental nuclei was studied by use of electron microscopy. The pars principalis of the ventral tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TVP) is composed of oblong or triangular, medium sized neurons (11.8x22.6 μm, 211.4 μm2) containing many mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, and rough endoplasmic reticulum composing Nissl bodies. The light oval nucleus with a prominent nucleolus is centrally situated, and indentations of its nuclear envelope are recognized in all neurons. The neuron in the pars ventralis of the dorsal tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TDV) is similar to that in the TVP, but its average size is significantly smaller (10.0x18.8 μm, 151.4 μm2), and its organelles are also less well developed. The pars dorsalis of the dorsal tegmental nucleus of Gudden (TDD) is composed of spindle shaped, small neurons (6.9x16.2 μm, 85.1 μm2) characterized by their irregular shaped nucleus with its invaginated envelope. These neurons have a thin rim of cytoplasm, poorly developed organelles and no Nissl bodies. The average number of axosomatic terminals in a sectional plane is 9.9 in the TVP, 9.6 in the TDV and 2.6 in the TDD, and the bouton covering ratio is 24.3% in the TVP, 26.5% in the TDV and 7.4% in the TDD. The respective percentages of round, flat and pleomorphic type axosomatic terminals were estimated, and the flat type terminals were found to be dominant in the TVP, the pleomorphic type terminals in the TDV, and the round type terminals in the TDD.

    Notes: Summary Kittens were subjected to lumbosacral dorsal rhizotomies at the age of 6–8 days postnatally. After postoperative survival times of 1–25 days the number of non-neuronal cells and lipid droplets in each cell type in the posterior funiculus at L1 were counted at the ultrastructural level. Intact control animals were analyzed in the same way. The number of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes decreased with increasing postoperative survival time in the degenerating zone. This was also the case in the white matter of control animals with increasing age of sacrifice. However, in the degenerating zone of operated animals the decrease was more extensive for oligodendrocytes starting at 5 days after surgery, and possibly also for astrocytes at 25 days postoperatively. The number of microglial cells in the degenerating zone was markedly increased 2–10 days after surgery compared to the controls. The number of non-pericytic perivascular cells seemed to be somewhat increased from 9 days after surgery, while the number of pericytes remained unchanged during the experimental period. Lipid droplets in the degenerating white matter were mainly located in microglial cells and astrocytes and only to a small extent in nonpericytic perivascular cells. These findings suggest that lipid material produced during anterograde fiber degeneration in the immature white matter is mainly metabolized in glial cells.

    Notes: Summary Early cleavage stage embryos (day 1 p.c.) and morulae (day 3 p.c.) of rabbits were exposed to visible (standard) lighting (1600 lx) and room (standard) temperature (23°C) during a 24 h in-vitro culture. Control embryos were cultured in darkness at 37°C. Development was assessed by light and electron microscopy as well as by the cytochemical demonstration of glycogen. In day 1 and day 3 embryos standard temperature induced swelling of the SER and Golgi complex vesicles. Major changes in day 1 embryos consisted of smallish microtubules-like crystalloids, and in day 3 embryos of unusually large SER vesicles. In both embryonic ages cleavage rate and development was more retarded by standard temperature than by standard lighting. Standard lighting, however, led to distinct signs of degeneration and cell death. The mode of cell damage seemed to be different in light exposed early cleavage stages and morulae: In day 1 embryos cytoplasmic degeneration was predominant while the majority of cells in day 3 embryos died by apoptosis. Despite clear indications of cell damage, cleavage rate was not notably impaired compared with non-exposed controls. Glycogen increased during development from cleavage stages to early blastocysts. The distribution was not changed either by exposure to standard temperature nor by standard lighting. The results demonstrate that day 1 embryos were clearly more susceptible to lighting whereas day 3 embryos were more affected by temperature. The mode of damage exerted by both the physical environmental factors was different. Reduction to standard temperature interfered mainly with the organization of the cytoskeleton and intracellular transport of organelles, while exposure to standard lighting led to cell degeneration and death.

    Notes: Summary In addition to “external” signals conveyed by the circulation or the nervous system, the pancreatic islets obviously are regulated also by “internal” (intra-islet) signals, e.g. by the islet hormones: insulin (B-), glucagon (A-), and somatostatin (D-) cells are able to affect the secretion of the heterologous cell types. It is, however, unclear whether this functional cooperation between islet cells occurs by an intercellular route (paracrinia sensu strictore), by intraislet “portal” vessels, or by the systemic circulation. These likely interactions are limited by islet anatomy. To identify the anatomical basis for the mutual functional relationships between the islet cells, islets of Langerhans in the rabbit pancreas were completely analyzed in immunostained serial semithin (0.5 μm) sections. The islets were found to be largely heterogenous. They were classified in three basic types: a) polycellular islets, composed of all established endocrine cells, and including two subtypes of islets, b) bicellular islets, containing only B- and A-cells or B- and D-cells, and c) monocellular islets, exclusively made up of B-cells. Concerning the modes of paracrine regulation of islet cells, the findings suggest primarely an endocrinous route of transport of the islet peptides to heterologous endocrine cells. The corresponding functional cooperation between islet cells probably is mediated rather by the systemic circulation than by intra-islet portal vessels.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of the rat placenta was studied after exposure to cadmium chloride during pregnancy, using optimal fixation conditions. In contrast to previous observations, no differences were observed after cadmium administration in relative volume densities of trophoblastic tissue, maternal lacunae, fetal capillaries and connective tissue, nor in trophoblastic thickness or other morphometric features. At the ultrastructural level, the amount of glycogen in trophoblast layer II was elevated in cadmium exposed rats, but other electron microscopic features (amount and localization of lipid, degenerative vesicles, thickness and general appearance of the trophoblastic and endothelial layers and thickening or multiplication of the basal lamina) were not changed. Results obtained from the present experiments do not support the suggestion that cadmium is responsible for structural changes in the placentae of human smokers.

    Notes: Summary Ultrathin sections of plastic-embedded rat cerebella were incubated with an antiserum against conjugated taurine and subsequently treated with a secondary antibody coupled to colloidal gold. The density of gold particles in various cellular profiles was calculated with the assistance of a computer. In the cerebellar cortex the highest density was found in the somata, dendrites, and dendritic spines of the Purkinje cells, supporting parallel light-microscopical observations in postembedding stained semithin sections from the same tissue blocks. The remaining profiles could be divided into three groups according to their immunolabelling intensity, in descending order: 1) somata and processes of granule and Golgi cells; 2) somata and processes of stellate, basket, and glial cells, and 3) mossy fiber terminals. In a representative experiment, the structures in the first and second groups showed gold particle densities in the range of 19–25%, and 4–11%, respectively, of that in the Purkinje cell somata (values corrected for background) whereas the particle density in the mossy fiber terminals was not significantly above background level. In the cerebellar nuclei, taurine-like immunoreactivity was concentrated in terminals that typically established symmetric or intermediate type contacts with weakly labelled dendrites and cell bodies. These terminals, which shared the ultrastructural features of Purkinje cell terminals, showed an average gold particle density that was about 60% higher than that of the Purkinje somata. For specificity control, ultrathin sections containing a series of different amino acid conjugates were incubated in the same drops of sera as the tissue sections. The highly selective labelling of the taurine conjugate indicated that the distribution of gold particles in the tissue was not confounded by crossreactivity with GABA, glutamate or other common amino acids but adequately reflected the distribution of fixed taurine. For additional control of specificity, the taurine antiserum was applied to the soluble fraction of a rat brain extract separated by thin layer chromatography. In this system the taurine antiserum stained a single spot that comigrated with free taurine. The present results suggest that all cell types and processes in the rat cerebellum (with the exception of the mossy fiber terminals) contain taurine. However, the concentration of taurine appears to vary considerably among the different cell types and may also differ between different parts of the same neuron.

    Notes: Summary A stable population of intraspinal Schwann cells, which developed follwing early postnatal irradiation of the spinal cord, was challenged by the addition of tellurium (Te) to the diet beginning at 30 days of age. Schwann cells incorporating [3H]thymidine were identified by 1 μm autoradiographs and by conventional electron microscopy of adjacent thin sections. Autoradiographs of areas with Schwann cell myclination showed extensive labelling of cells in the Te-fed animals. In contrast, control animals which were not fed Te showed little evidence of labelled Schwann cells. These data indicate that Schwann cells in the intraspinal environment show a proliferative response to the presence of Te in the rat's diet, as do Schwann cells in their normal extraspinal milieu.

Normal native collagen fibrils were found in small scattered clumps particularly around the blood vessels in the tumor. Such abnormal large collagen fibrils have not been seen previously in meningiomas. The significance of the amianthoid fibers is unknown. The only other unusual feature of the tumor was that it had many pale-staining cells by light microscopy and was classified as a clear cell variant of meningioma.

    Notes: Summary Nerve biopsies were performed in four patients with suspected chloroquine induced neuromyopathy. Three of the patients were treated with high doses of chloroquine for connective tissue disease, while one patient was taking this drug as malaria prophylaxis. Morphological studies demonstrated the presence of segmental demyelination and remyelination in all cases. Cytoplasmic inclusions were observed in Schwann cells, in perineurial and endothelial cells, and in some interstitial cells. They were never observed within axons. Occasional curvilinear profiles were seen in perineurial and Schwann cells. Perineurial calcifications were observed in two cases. The results of this morphological study suggest that chloroquine neuropathy is essentially due primary involvement of Schwann cells.

    Notes: Summary This is obviously the first report on a case with a spontaneous sensu strictu relapsing variant of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related polyneuropathy. Its manifestation preceded LAS. Intrathecal HIV-antibodies developed between the most severe third and fourth episode. Analysis of sural nerve biopsy was consistent with a multifocally accentuated chronic inflammatory demyelination, characterized by unusual onion bulb-like Schwann cell formations with irregular voluminous layers, electron density, aggregation of filaments, multiple indented nuclei, and numerous enclosed collagen pockets. A direct or immune-mediated indirect specific influence on Schwann cell morphology by HIV might be discussed. Virus-like particles and ultrastructural markers of HIV were not detectable.

    Notes: Summary We have studied an unusual, spontaneous, intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumor in 12 dogs. Animals presented with paraparesis and ataxia early in life (11/12 ranged from 6 to 38 months of age) suggesting that these tumors may be congenital. Various breeds of dogs were represented with four cases in German Shepherds and three in retrievers; there was no sex predisposition. Post-mortem examinations revealed a single intradural mass consistently located between T10 and L2, which produced extensive compression of the spinal cord. Metastasis was never observed and significant pathological changes in other organs were lacking. Microscopic examination revealed solid sheets of ovoid to fusiform cells interspersed with areas of acinar and tubular differentiation. Some areas were rarified and focal squamous metaplasia was observed. Ultrastructural features included the presence of a continuous basal lamina, junctional complexes, microvilli and occasional cilia at the apices of acinar complexes. Immunocytochemical studies did not support a neurectodermal origin. At least 13 case reports of this entity have been previously published and have been designated ependymomas, medulloepitheliomas and neuroepitheliomas. A recent case was diagnosed as a nephroblastoma and we feel that this is an interesting and provocative diagnosis. These tumors could result from remnants of renal primordium which becomes trapped between the dura and the developing spinal cord. However, firm evidence of such a histogenesis is not yet at hand.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of neurofibrillary tangles of Zlzheimer's disease was analyzed by computerized digital processing of electron micrographs. Processing of the electron micrographs consists of four steps: digitizing the electron micrograph, Fourier transformation, noise filtering and inverse Fourier transformation and Laplacian operation. In the present study, we have confirmed that neurofibrillary tangles are composed of a pair of helical filaments (PHF), which appear characteristically as an unbranched rigid structure. The periodicity of PHF is 78nm on the diffractogram. The dimensions of PHF obtained by our analysis, although basically similar to those described earlier by other investigators using conventional techniques, more precisely defines its structural conformation. We have also demonstrated that the spatial relationship of two filaments appears symmetrical after two-way tilting of the specimen about the axis of rotation. Our observations emphasize the importance of digital image processing as an effective tool for structural analytical research in biology and medicine.

    Notes: Summary Skin tissue specimens, obtained from 60 patients afflicted with a diverse range of lysosomal disorders revealed two groups of lesions within dermal axons, largely unmyelinated ones, particularly within axonal terminals: (1) non-specific mitochondria and dense bodies often enlarging the axonal terminal; and (2) disease-specific lysosomal residual bodies, the latter less frequent depending on the incidence and type of lysosomal disorders, i.e., largely only seen in GM2-gangliosidosis due to hexosaminidase A deficiency and mucolipidosis IV, while the spectrum of lysosomal residual bodies in Schwann cells appeared more variegated, especially due to the occurrence of vacuolar lysosomal residual bodies which were never seen within axons. The most frequent location of abnormal intraaxonal constituents in terminal axons indicates a functionally and morphologically impaired retrograde axonal transport but provides no further evidence as to whether the respective parent nerve cell body has also accumulated lysosomal residual bodies. When studying biopsied skin specimens for diagnosis, axonal terminals beneath the epidermis, about sweat glands, and among smooth muscle cells, ought to be incorporated into a comprehensive electron microscopic examination.

    Notes: Summary Substance P-immunoreactive boutons were examined in the electron microscope in sections of the rat neostriatum that contained retrogradely labelled striatonigral neurons and/or Golgi-impregnated medium-size densely spiny neurons. The postsynaptic targets of the immunoreactive boutons were characterized on the basis of ultrastructural features, their projection to the substantia nigra and/or their somato-dendritic morphology. Substance P-immunoreactive axonal boutons formed symmetrical synaptic specializations. Of a total of 233 randomly identified synaptic boutons 72.5% made contact with dendritic shafts, 15% with dendritic spines and 10.7% with perikarya. The ultrastructural characteristics of some of the postsynaptic neuronal perikarya were consistent with their identification as striatal interneurons. Similarly, the observation of some of the substance P-containing terminals in contact with spines, spine-bearing dendritic shafts and perikarya with the ultrastructural characteristics of medium-size densely spiny neurons suggested that one of the targets of substance P-positive terminals are striatal projection neurons. Direct evidence for this was obtained in sections from rats that had received injections of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with wheatgerm agglutinin in the substantia nigra. The perikarya of retrogradely labeled striatonigral neurons were found to receive symmetrical synaptic input from substance P-positive boutons. Ultrastructural analysis of Golgi-impregnated medium-size densely spiny neurons, some of which were also retrogradely labeled from the substantia nigra, demonstrated directly that this class of neuron was postsynaptic to the substance P-immunoreactive boutons. The combination of Golgi-impregnation with substance P-immunocytochemistry made it possible to study the pattern or topography of the substance P-positive input to medium size densely spiny neurons. The substance P-containing boutons made contact predominantly with perikarya and dendritic shafts. This pattern of input is markedly different from that of other identified inputs to medium-size densely spiny neurons.

    Notes: Summary Putative cholinergic axons and synaptic endings were demonstrated in the substantia nigra (SN) of the rat by light and electron microscopy on the basis of the localization of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity. The distribution of ChAT immunoreactivity in the SN as demonstrated by light microscopy revealed a modest network of ChAT-immunoreactive beaded axons in the SNc, in comparison to a relatively sparse distribution in the SNr. These axonal profiles were most dense in the middle of the rostral-caudal extent of the SNc and appeared to be concentrated in the middle third of the medial-lateral extent. By electron microscopy, unmyelinated, small diameter (0.25 μm) ChAT-immuno-reactive axons were observed interspersed among numerous other non-immunoreactive axons in the SNc. ChAT-immunoreactive synaptic endings were observed in juxtaposition to small caliber (0.5 μm) non-immunoreactive dendrites, and contained numerous spheroidal synaptic vesicles and occasional mitochondria. Synaptic contact zones were characterized by an accumulation of synaptic vesicles along the presynaptic membrane, and a prominent postsynaptic densification producing an asymmetrical pre-/postsynaptic membrane profile typical of excitatory synapses. These findings provide direct evidence for a cholinergic innervation of the SN, and suggest that this input may have an excitatory effect on neuronal elements in the SNc.

    Notes: Summary The effect of peripheral nerve transection on the size of the microglial cell population in cytoarchitecturally distinct regions of the spinal cord dorsal horn of rats was evaluated at selected intervals 2 through 35 days after unilateral brachial plexotomy. The identification of cells was verified by electron microscopic examination of a representative random sample of cells included in the counts. Microglial cell numbers were increased in laminae I, II as well as the arbitrarily defined deeper laminae 3.5 days after surgery. Although microglial cell numbers in laminae I were within normal range 35 days after axotomy, those of the more ventrally located laminae remained significantly greater than control values for the duration of the experimental period. These findings demonstrate that: 1) microglial cell proliferation in the dorsal horn is an early event in the central changes that are attendant to peripheral nerve injury 2) the time course of the response varies in cytoarchitecturally different regions.

    Notes: Abstract Using the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin persistant functional and morphological changes were induced prenatally in the rat kidney. After 6 days of s.c. treatment (110 mg gentamicin/kg body wt) from day 10 to 15 of pregnancy complete resorption was noticed in 8 of the 14 treated animals. Fifty-three newborn were obtained from six dams. One year later only 26 rats (16 male, 10 female) were still alive. The systolic arterial pressure of the female offspring was significantly increased (139±15 mm Hg versus 112±9 mmHg) compared with controls. No statistically significant effect could be noticed in the male offspring (128±5 mm Hg versus 118±21 mm Hg). Corresponding results were obtained from analysis of urea plasma concentrations. Another cohort of pregnant rats received daily injections of gentamicin from day 15 to 20 of pregnancy (110 mg/kg body wt s.c.). In this group 59 newborn from a total of 109 died within the first 5 days after birth. Six litters were observed postnatally. One year after birth the following blood pressure values were determined: 122±4 mm Hg (male) and 132±17 mm Hg (female). Urea plasma concentrations were significantly higher in female, but not in male, offspring. Light and electron microscopic inspection revealed pathological changes in the kidneys of the female offspring only. The degree of maternal kidney damage — which shows considerable variations — was monitored during the treatment period. For this purpose the plasma gentamicin and urea concentrations were measured on 3 days of treatment in all of the pregnant animals. The postnatal data (mortality, blood pressure, and urea plasma concentrations) show a correlation to the degree of maternal kidney impairment.

    Notes: Summary The third case of adult-onset rod disease (nemaline myopathy) with abundant myofibrillar as well as intranuclear rods is described. The 61-year-old woman suffered from progressive weakness of proximal extremities and of the neck, mimicking polymyositis. Muscle biopsy revealed a striking myopathic pattern, with intranuclear rods occurring in 31% of the fibres. On light and electron microscopy and by immunohistochemical study, the rods differed from myofibrillar rods. The absence of α-actinin in intranuclear rods suggests an enhanced readiness of actin filaments to bind to diverse proteins, instead of overproduction of α-actinin as the pathogenetic basis of the rod formation.

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the in situ location of glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase and 2-htdroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase in Acidaminococcus fermentans using the antibody-gold and protein A-gold techniques carried out as a post-embedding immunoelectron microscopic procedure. Polyclonal antisera were raised in rabbits against homogeneous fractions of the enzymes. Anaerobically grown cells of A. fermentans of the late exponential growth phase were fixed with 0.2% glutaraldehyde and 0.3% formaldehyde (final concentrations) in the growth medium. Dehydration of the cells was achieved with methanol. The cells were embedded in the low temperature embedding resin Lowicryl K4M. The markers indicative for antigenic sites of the two enzymes unequivocally demonstrate that the sodium pump glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase is located at the cell periphery being a membrane-bound enzyme as expected whereas 2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase is a soluble cytoplasmic enzyme.

    Notes: Abstract The intermediary production of elemental sulfur during the microbial oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds has frequently been reported. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, an acidophilic chemolithoautotroph, was found to produce an insoluble sulfur compound, primarily elemental sulfur, during the oxidation of thiosulfate, trithionate, tetrathionate and sulfide. This was confirmed by light and electron microscopy. Sulfur was produced from sulfide by an oxidative step, while the production from tetrathionate was initiated by a hydrolytic step, probably followed by a series of chemical reactions. The oxidation of intermediary sulfur was severely inhibited by sulfhydryl-binding reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, by the addition of uncouplers or after freezing and thawing of the cells, which probably damaged the cell membrane. The mechanisms behind these inhibitions have not yet been clarified. Finally, it was observed that elemental sulfur oxidation by whole cells depended on the medium composition. The absence of sulfate or selenate reduced the sulfur oxidation rate.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The structure of mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) from sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) has been studied by biochemical methods and electron microscopy. It was found to be complex multipartite consisting of two main classes of molecules: high molecules weight (HMW) mtDNA and low molecular weight (LMW) mtDNA. The HMW mtDNA consists of rosette-like structures and globules resembling chromomeres (150–200nm). A typical rosette has a protein core and radially stemming closed DNA loops (from 0.6-1.5 μm). The number of loops in a rosette varies from 16–30. The bulk of HMW mtDNAs are represented by interconnected rosettes (total contour length about 130–160 μm, 403–496 kbp). Such large circular DNAs may be evidence of the master chromosome arrangement of the sugarbeet genome. Globules and rosettes are interconnected by thick and thin DNA fibrils, along which nucleosome- and nucleomere-like structures are distributed. The LWM mtDNA is composed of two groups of supercoiled circular molecules, 0,2–1.5 μm and 0.02–0.05 μm in size. Electrophoretic analysis demonstrated that LWM mtDNA is represented by minicircle plasmid-like DNA molecules of 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 kbp.

    Notes: Summary Mitochondrial (mt) plasmid-like DNA was found in most of more than 100 rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) by the use of 0.7% agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE). The DNA varied in molecular weight and number. By electron microscopy, small circular DNAs of different sizes could be detected in addition to the DNAs of high molecular weight, even in cultivars in which mt plasmid-like DNA was not detected by AGE. The detection of the mt plasmid-like DNAs by AGE did not depend on their presence or absence, but on their high stoichiometry. The relationship between cytoplasms with mt plasmid-like DNAs and varietal (for example, Indica rice) groups was close. The geographical distribution of cytoplasms is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The presence of 28 kDa calbindin in human odontoblasts was studied by use of specific antibodies raised against chick duodenal 28 kDa calbindin, in immunofluorescence, immuno-peroxidase, and electron-microscopic labelling experiments. The calbindin-like protein was detected mainly in the cytoplasm of odontoblast cell bodies, in their processes and occasionally in their nuclei. Correspondingly, at the ultrastructural level, immunoreactive material was associated with the cytosol, microfilaments and cilia. These findings suggest that human odontoblasts express a 28 kDa vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, unlike those of rats and mice in which ameloblasts are the only cells immunoreactive for the protein.

    Notes: Summary We have studied follicular dendritic cells (FDC) in lymph nodes of normal and thymus dysgeneic nude mice depleted of B-cells by chronic treatment with anti-IgM antibodies. We found that B cell depletion was accompanied by the absence of mature FDC as defined morphologically at the ultrastructural level. Only precursor FDC (p-FDC) could be demonstrated. Upon release of B-cell suppression, the repopulation of lymph nodes with B-cells was associated with the reappearance of fully differentiated FDC in primary follicles of nude mice and in secondary follicles of T-cell competent mice. We conclude that mature B-cells and/or B-cell products are required for the development of mature follicular dendritic cells in the mouse lymph node.

    Orthogonal arrays of particles in non-pigmented cells of rat ciliary epithelium: Relation to distribution of filipin- and digitonin-induced alterations of the basolateral membrane (1988)

    Notes: Summary It has been suggested that orthogonal arrays of particles may increase the rigidity of plasma membrane, as does cholesterol. Therefore, using freeze-fractured non- pigmented ciliary epithelium, the distribution of such arrays was compared to the distribution of membrane deformations induced by the sterol-probes filipin and digitonin in different domains of the basolateral plasma membrane. The distribution of orthogonal arrays of particles was homogeneous between different regions of the basolateral membrane of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium, while the number of filipin-induced alterations was nearly 4 times higher in the membrane domains not in contact with the basal lamina than in domains in contact with it. Contrary to the homogeneous distribution of arrays, digitonin-induced deformations also differed markedly in these two basolateral membrane domains. Considering that a marked positive response to sterol probes implies a high sterol content, we conclude that orthogonal arrays of particles can occur in plasma membrane regions well-provided with cholesterol and not in direct contact with the basal lamina. Other possible roles of these arrays are discussed.

    Notes: Summary A preembedding dual immunolabeling technique and electron microscopy were utilized to demonstrate the localization of immunoreactive substance P and methionine-enkephalin-octapeptide (Enk-8) in ultrathin sections of the surface layer (laminae I and II) of rat spinal dorsal horn. The immunoreaction of Enk-8 was visualized as goldtoned silver particles and that of substance P as diaminobenzidine reaction products. Axonal terminals with immunoreactive substance P, and also unlabeled axonal terminals, formed synaptic junctions with the perikarya and dendritic processes of Enk-8-containing neurons. Dendritic profiles immunolabeled for substance P were synaptically linked with unlabeled axons but not with Enk-8-positive ones. Furthermore, it was found that Enk-8 axons and substance P axons terminated synaptically in juxtaposition to one another on the same immunonegative dendrites. Among the Enk-8-containing neurons axonal profiles also appeared to be synaptically associated with immunoreactive Enk-8 dendritic processes.

    Notes: Summary Ventral thoracic neurosecretory cells (VTNCs) of the blowflies, Calliphora erythrocephala and C. vomitoria, innervating thoracic neuropil and the dorsal neural sheath of the thoracico-abdominal ganglion have been shown to be immunoreactive to a variety of mammalian peptide antisera. In the neural sheath the VTNC terminals form an extensive neurohaemal network that is especially dense over the abdominal ganglia. The same areas are invaded by separate, ut overlapping serotonin-immunoreactive (5-HT-IR) projections derived from neuronal cell bodies in the suboesophageal ganglion. Immunocytochemical studies with different antisera, applied to adjacent sections at the lightmicroscopic level, combined with extensive cross-absorption tests, suggest that the perikarya of the VTNCs contain co-localized peptides related to gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK), bovine pancreatic polypeptide (PP), Met- and Leuenkephalin and Met-enk-Arg6-Phe7 (Met-enk-RF). Electron-microscopic immunogold-labeling shows that some of the terminals in the dorsal sheath react with several of the individual peptide antisera, whilst others with similar cytology are non-immunoreactive. In the same region, separate terminals with different cytological characteristics contain 5-HT-IR. Both 5-HT-IR and peptidergic terminals are localized outside the cellular perineurium beneath the acellular permeable sheath adjacent to the haemocoel. Hence, we propose that various bioactive substances may be released from thoracic neurosecretory neurons into the circulating haemolymph to act on peripheral targets. The same neurons may also interact by synaptic or modulatory action in the CNS in different neuropil regions of the thoracic ganglion.

    Notes: Summary The serotonergic innervation of the genital chamber of the female cricket, Acheta domestica, has been investigated applying anti-serotonin (5-HT) immunocyto-chemistry at both light- and electron-microscopic levels as well as using conventional electron microscopy. Whole mount and pre-embedding chopper techniques of immuno-cytochemistry reveal a dense 5-HT-immunoreactive network of varicose fibers in the musculature of the genital chamber. All of these immunoreactive fibers originate from the efferent serotonergic neuron projecting through the nerve 8v to the genital chamber (Hustert and Topel 1986; Elekes et al. 1987). At the electron-microscopic level, 5-HT-immunoreactive nerve terminals, which contain small (50–60 nm) and large (∼ 100 nm) agranular vesicles as well as granular vesicles (∼100nm), contact the muscle fibers or the sarcoplasmic processes without establishing specialized neuromuscular connections. In addition to the 5-HT-immunoreactive axons, two types of immunonegative axons can also be found in the musculature. By use of conventional electron microscopy, three ultrastructurally distinct types of axon processes can be observed, one of which resembles 5-HT-immunoreactive axons. While the majority of the varicosities do not synapse on the muscle fibers, terminals containing small (50–60 nm) agranular vesicles occasionally form specialized neuromuscular contacts. It is suggested that the 5-HTergic innervation plays a non-synaptic modulatory role in the regulation circular musculature in the genital chamber of the cricket, while the musculature as a whole may be influenced by both synaptic and modulatory mechanisms.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of atrial-specific granules, which contain atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP), was studied in the cardiac tissue of untreated controls and water-deprived rats by means of conventional and immunoelectron microscopy. Immature secretory vesicles or granules appeared to become buded off from the Golgi cisternae and then fused to form specific A-granules. An electron-dense plate with a fuzzy coat was frequently found on the limiting membrane at the end of such fusion. Pale specific B-granules, which were less electron-dense, larger, and more granular than A-granules, were found in small numbers in the left atrial cardiocytes, but rarely in the right ones. Very pale granules with a less granular matrix, considered to be B-type granules which had lost their electron-density, and which had less immunoreactivity for ANP, were numerous in the cardiac tissue after water deprivation. This morphological change, which is interpreted as an indication of granule degradation, was in agreement with the noted increase of natriuretic activity in the atrial tissue of water-deprived specimens.

    Notes: Summary The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the basement membrane structure of chick embryonic skin cultured in a chemically defined medium (BGJb) containing 20 mM hydrocortisone, and EGF at 10, 50, or 100 ng/ml supplemented with 5% delipidized fetal calf serum, was examined by electron microscopy. During development of the epidermis in vitro, EGF (100 ng/ml) caused striking changes to occur in the basement membrane structure and in the keratinization process. The basement membrane frequently became discontinuous with many gaps apparent in section, and occasionally became folded following detachment from the basal surface of the epidermis and protruded into the underlying dermis. In the basal and intermediate cells of EGF-treated epidermis, tonofilament bundles were decreased in number, while desmosomes and hemidesmosomes revealed no significant changes in morphology.

    Notes: Abstract We have studied the influence of granulocyte labelling with commercially available 111In-oxine, tropolone (trop) or home made 111In-Mercapto pyridine (Merc) prepared by the method of Thakur (1985) on the cell structure by electron microscopy and on the cell function by enzymatic tests, random migration, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and bactericidal activity. The granulocytes were labelled with 400 μCi 111In-oxine in saline or 111In-trop or Merc in plasma. The effect of the chelating agents with and without addition of the tracer was studied (n=4) with varying concentrations: 5–10 μg/ml oxine, 10–160 μg/ml trop and 1–4 μg/ml Merc. Chemotaxis and random migration were not affected by 111In-trop and clearly supressed by 111In-oxine and Merc; the other tests were normal. The cell structure was disturbed by Merc. The labelling efficiency was excellent with oxine (90%), acceptable with trop (30%–80%) and poor with Merc (10%–25%). Without 111In, chemotaxis and random migration were normal up to a concentration of 80 μg/ml trop, 8.5 μg/ml oxine and 1 μg/ml Merc. With addition of 111In, chemotaxis and random migration were unaffected up to 80 gmg/ml by trop and markedly supressed by Merc and oxine. It is concluded that labelling with 111In-trop assures intact cells.

The ultrastructure of different poles of the same supraglottic tumors was investigated and showed a more progressive fibrillogenesis with an activation of the connective tissue elements of the border on the lower pole of the malignancy. A significant role is attributed to the barrierforming feature of activated connective tissue with respect to the inhibition of the extension of tumor into the glottic region.

    Notes: Conformational preferences of model modified nucleic acid base N6-(N-alanylcarbonyl) adenine, ac6Ade, have been investigated using the quantum chemical PCILO (perturbative configuration interaction using localized orbitals) method. The multidimensional conformational space has been searched using selected grid points formed by combining the various torsion angles that take favored values derived from energy variation with respect to each torsion angle individually.The preferred molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond from N(11)H of the amino acid to N(1) of the adenine. The observed crystal structure conformations for the naturally occurring, anticodon adjacent, threonyl analogs, tc6Ade, correspond to the predicted most stable conformation for the model modified base ac6Ade. Three stable, low energy conformations differing in the orientations of the carboxyl group and the amino acid side chain are predicted within 1 kcal/mol of the most stable structure. The possible bifurcated hydrogen bonding of N(11)H with N(1) and either of the carboxyl oxygens is of minor significance.The indicated orientational flexibility for the carboxyl group and the amino acid side chain may enable convenient probing of the molecular environment, in the vicinity of the anticodon in tRNA, by the amino acid substituent, with only modest changes in energy stabilization.

    Notes: By using the n + (1/2)l filling rule of the atomic Aufbau principle, where n is the principal quantum number and l is the azimuthal quantum number, a new periodic table is presented, its periods having, in order, 8, 18, 18, 32, 42, 50, … elements. The mentioned rule is proposed instead of the n + l rule (or Madelung's rule) which constitutes the quantum mechanical basis of the current periodic table and predicts periods having, in order, 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32, 50, … elements. The new periodic table is called “regular” because its groups are formed according to a single rule (namely, the first elements of each period are placed in the same order as the elements of the preceding period), in contrast with the current periodic table, where no simple rule can be applied for the same purpose. The most characteristic feature of the regular periodic table is the fact that its groups are also related in a periodic manner.

    Control over theoretical descriptions of atoms and molecules. An information theoretic approach to the automatic classification and systematic improvement of approximate wave functions (1988)

    Notes: A rigorous approach to the study of the quality of theoretical descriptions of atoms and molecules is proposed. Theoretical descriptions, i.e., collections of atomic or molecular properties obtained via quantum chemical methods, are associated with information quantities defined with respect to reference theoretical or experimental data. In this way the comparison of two theoretical descriptions is reduced to the comparison of the respective information quantities. An increase in information is interpreted as improvement of the theoretical description. The aforementioned approach should be useful in problems related to classifications and systematic improvements of approximate wave functions and consequently for comparing the performance of quantum chemical methods in calculations of atomic and molecular properties. This approach should also constitute a powerful tool for the construction of suitable basis sets for use in calculations of atomic and molecular properties.

    Notes: A Fifth-order constant denominator perturbation treatment of all single and double excitations occuring in the third-order perturbation wave function is presented for the perturbation configuration interaction using localized orbitals (PCILO) method. Contributions from triple and quadruple excitations which decay back to singles and doubles at third order are automatically included in this theory. This method is computationally very fast, with an execution speed proportional to N3, Where N is the number of orbitals present. A [2,1] Padé approximate involving only singles and doubles contributions through to fifth order is shown to be remarkably accurate.

Here these results have been corrected. For Z ≤ 5, the results have been obtained by determining the pertinent integrals numerically: but for Z ≥ 5, these can be found sufficiently accurately from Z expansions.

    Notes: In a dissociation attachment experiment of water, three peaks were observed at 7,9, and 12 eV. The origin of the third peak has been believed to be 2B2. However, the calculated energy of this state is 0.6 eV higher than the experimental value. This discrepancy is quite large compared with the case of the lower two peaks. In this study we propose new candidates for resonant states responsible for the third peak. The configurations considered are (3a1)-1(3pa1)2, (3a1)-1(3pb1)2, (3a1)-1(3pb2)2, (3a1)-1(3pa1)1(3pb1)1, (3a1)-1(3pb2)1(3pa1)1, and (3a1)-1(3pb2)1(3pb1)1 which have the parent state (3a1)-1(3pa1)1, (3a1)-1(3pb1)1, or (3a1)-1(3pb2)1. The energy levels arising from these configurations are calculated by a method of configuration interaction. A Few resonance states, which could be responsible for the third peak, are found. New decay process of these states are proposed.

    Notes: A new MO-LCAO description of the nephelauxetic effect is proposed based on the concept of the topological atom and on the method of reduced density matrices. This approach allows one to overcome some conceptual difficulties of ligand-field theory and to derive effective parameters of d-d electron repulsion of a bound transition-metal in a proper way. The two ligand-field mechanisms of the nephelauxetic effect - the central field covalency and the symmetry-restricted covalency - are clarified and generalized. In addition, a new factor, important for the nephelauxetic effect is found: its size-dependence on the region of the topological atom.

    Notes: A Hartree-Fock (HF) self-consistent field (SCF) crystal orbital (CO) formalism for two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) solids on the basis of semiempirical CNDO/INDO (complete neglect of differential overlap; intermediate neglect of differential overlap) Hamiltonians is presented. The employed SCF variants allow for the treatment of atomic species up to bromine under the inclusion of the first (i.e., 3d) transition metal series. Band structure investigations of 2D and 3D materials containing more than 30 atoms per unit cell are feasible by the present SCF HF CO formalism. The theoretical background of the computational scheme is given in this contribution. Special emphasis is placed on physically reliable truncation criteria for the lattice sums, the adaptation of the crystal symmetry in k space, as well as the suitable choice of domains in Brillouin zone (BZ) integrations required in the determination of charge-density matrices. The capability and limitations of the semiempirical SCF HF CO approach is demonstrated for some simpler solids by comparing the present computational results with those of ab initio CO schemes as well as conventional numerical methods in soid-state theory. The employed model solids are graphite and BN (2D and 3D networks for both solids) as well as diamond, silicon, germanium, and TiS2.

    Long distance electron transfer (1988)

    Notes: Quantum mechanical models to treat long distance electron transfer are being developed. The model is based on the theory of R.A. Marcus. Our contribution is in the calculation of the electron coupling factor k. Estimations of the latter number, as well as the bond and solvent relaxation energies, λi and λo, respectively, are necessary to be able to calculate the rate constant for a reaction of the conductivity in an electric field. k may be approximately calculated from orbital energy differences at avoided crossings between orbitals localized in different parts of the system. A novel spectroscopic NDO method is suggested in which one may include any atom of the periodic table. Another problem discussed is the inclusion of electronic relaxation effects of the solvent or protein in the calculation. Applications are made to systems where metal ions are connected by organic bridges of different kinds such as dipyridine with coplanar and perpendicular pyridyl groups. As expected the electronic factor depends strongly on the conformation of the bridge. A strong conformational dependence is also obtained for a saturated bridge of the type NH2 · (CH2)n · NH2. In another study we use an α helix as a bridge between two metal ions. If one glycine in this α-helix is substituted by phenylalanine the electronic factor increases by factors of 1.5-10. It is suggested, however, that larger enhancement factors are possible if an aromatic group is positioned in a favorable way. The CNDO/S method is used to study the charge separation process in a bichromophoric molecule and in the reaction center (RC) of Rhodopseudomonas viridis. In those cases where the electronic coupling is large enough for the charge transfer states to be seen in the spectrum, the calculated results agree well with the experimental ones, but suggest a novel assignment. The CNDO/S results verify that electron transfer is possible through saturated spacers. In the special pair of RC the S1 state is calculated at approximately the correct position. Like the ground state, it has a delocalized character.

    Notes: A class of thromboxane antagonists exists where the prostaglandin side chain containing the C16 hydroxyl moiety is replaced by a phenyl ring, and the bridged six-membered pyranose moiety by cyclohexane, pyranose and dioxane ring systems. Analysis of antagonist potency data in terms of a binding constant model previously used for membrane bound receptor-drug interactions shows that the major patterns of antagonist potency are governed as much by axial/equatorial conformer preference of the phenyl moiety and its orientation as by electrostatic effects of the aliphatic ring oxygen atoms. The conformational restriction of the two substituted side chains of the σ-bonded 6-membered ring is shown to be a primary requirement for binding to thromboxane receptors, and a quantitative separation of electrostatic and conformational components in the potency data is attempted.

    Notes: Ab initio calculations have been performed to investigate hydrogen bonding and ion-molecule association in complexes of H2O with the neutral, protonated, and Li+ complexes of N-formylformaldehyde and N-formylformamidine. In the complexes with the neutral bases, H2O assumes an in-plane bridging position in the amide and amidine regions. The most stable complex is the bridging N-formylformamidine-H2O complex in the amidine region, which has an MP2/6-31 + G(d,p) binding energy of -9 kcal/mol. Hydrogen bonded complexes of H2O with the oxygen-protonated bases have open structures with the protonated bases as proton donors, and binding energies ranging from -16 to -24 kcal/mol. Nitrogen protonation of N-formylformamidine leads to an equilibrium chelated hydrogen bonded structure with a stabilization energy of -21 kcal/mol. When Li+ associates with these bases at a carbonyl oxygen, hydrogen-bonded bridging structures with H2O reappear, and wobble complexes exist in the amide and amidine regions of N-formylformaldehyde and N-formylformamidine. These complexes have binding energies of -13 to -14 kcal/mol. However, the most stable comples has H2O directly bonded to Li+, with an MP2 binding energy of -30 kcal/mol. No hydrogen bonded structures of H2O with N-formylformamidine exist in the amide region when Li+ associates with this base at the C=N group. Hydrogen bond energies computed at the single-determinant Hartree-Fock level with the 6-31G(d) basis set approximate correlated MP2/6-31 + G(d, p) energies to within 1 kcal/mol for all of the neutral and charged complexes. However, when H2O is bonded to Li+, HF6-31G(d) association energies overestimate MP2/6-31 + G(d, p) energies by 3 kcal/mol.

    Notes: Whereas localization of orbitals has long been a tool for a semiclassical interpretation of chemical properties, it is in fact electron delocalization that is a fundamental property of quantum mechanical molecules. A mathematically well-defined measure is suggested for the degree of delocalization of molecular orbitals. It is shown that an orbital set of maximum delocalization exists for which the degree of delocalization depends on the charge distribution of the molecule. Hartree-Fock canonical orbitals are definitely more localized than the most uniformaly distributed MO's giving an equivalent description of the molecule. The changes in the geometrical shape of molecular orbitals are studied passing (quasi-) continuously from the strongly localized description towards the most delocalized picture. In the case of charge-inhomogeneities even the most delocalized orbitals remain rather compact. The degree of maximum delocalization may be correlated with chemical properties such as reactivity. The shape distortion of MO's under the perturbing effect of other ions and small molecules is investigated in several examples.

    Notes: The density matrix was computed from the density using basis orbitals which form linearly independent products (LIP). Calculations were performed on the Be atom using LIP bases containing several of the natural spin orbitals from an accurate nonrelativistic 650-term configuration interaction (CI) wavefunction. Calculations were also performed using a basis set of 6 s-type orbitals optimized so that the lowest eigenvalue, d1, of the overlap matrix of products is maximized and the energy of a small CI wavefunction is minimized. The value of d1 in the optimized basis is 1 × 10-7. The density and the potential energy obtained from the 650-term CI wavefunction were accurately reproduced by the density matrix expressed in the optimized LIP basis, but the kinetic energy was somewhat less accurate.

    Notes: The need to perform a numerical integration of the exchange-correlation functional because of its non-analyticity severely complicates the accurate application of local-density functional methods to molecules and clusters. The optimal choice of grid points for this integration and the estimation of the error made by the choice are subtle considerations. In particular, because the position and/or weighting of each grid point must change when the nuclear positions change, these errors are most noticeable when different geometries are compared. We have determined a method of grid point selection and weighting that reduces these errors. We have also determined a simple method of estimating the extent of the error made in the particular density of points used for the grid. These results are illustrated for a selection of small molecules.

    Notes: All bicyclo[p.q.0] conjugated hydrocarbons are found to fall into ten homolog classes each characterized by the numbers of nonbonding, bonding, and antibonding molecular-orbitals of its first prototype and by the prototype itself. The energy level patterns are obtained by the new “structural covariance” pictorial rules directly from structural formulas. The HOMO-LUMO types, aromaticity or three types of nonaromatic behavior, and reactivities towards nucleophiles or electrophiles thereby also result.

    Notes: Results are presented from Hartree-Fock-Slater (HFS) calculations on harmonic frequencies and force constants of H2O, H2S, NH3, PH3, CH4, SiH4, and C2H4. Both frequencies and force constants were calculated by a numerical (finite difference) differentiation of analytical energy gradients. It is shown by a comparison with experimental data and results from ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations that the HFS-method provides harmonic frequencies and force constants in at least as good agreement with experiment as the HF-scheme.

    A progress report on the status of the COLUMBUS MRCI program system (1988)

    Notes: The COLUMBUS program system is a collection of Fortran programs for performing general multireference single- and double-excitation configuration interaction (MRSDCI) wave function optimization based on the graphical unitary group approach. The program system also includes integral generation, SCF and MCSCF orbital optimization, integral transformation, and wave function analysis programs. The original program system was written in 1980 to 1981. Since that time, it has evolved into one of the most popular MRSDCI program systems used in the computational chemistry community. The discussion of this evolution will include the exploitation of efficient matrix-matrix and matrix-vector product computational kernels, the use of generally contracted symmetry-adapted orbital basis sets, general Hamiltonian diagonalization procedures, energy-based internal walk selection, flexible DRT specification, improved coupling-coefficient evaluation methods, coupled-pair functional and multireference CPF capabilities, and density matrix construction. The numerous versions of the program system that are maintained at different sites and on different computers are now in the process of being merged. The source code for this combined version will be made available to the computational chemistry community. The source code for a specific computer may be generated from the source code for another computer by a single pass through a simple filter utility that is included with the program system. The directly supported computers will initially include various models of VAX, Cray, FPS, IBM, CDC, and ETA machines with the addition of other machines shortly thereafter. The ongoing developments of the COLUMBUS system that are discussed include a new method for computing analytic energy gradients for MRSDCI wave functions. This effective-density-matrix based method avoids the “coupled perturbed MCSCF” solutions for each coordinate direction, avoids the transformation of any derivative-integral quantities from the AO to the MO basis, avoids the transformation of the coupling coefficients from the MO to the AO basis, allows a subset of the MCSCF doubly occupied orbitals to be frozen in the CI wave function, and allows the MRSDCI wave function to be generated from general reference CSFs that are not necessarily related to the MCSCF expansion CSFs.

    Notes: The geometry of Mn5 in rare gas matrices has been proposed to be a planar pentagon with 25 unpaired electrons. Simple unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) calculations have been carried out using a basis of STO-6G for 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals with STO-4G for 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, and 4p in the HONDO5 program. The structure is optimized at the UHF level using the analytic gradient formalism for a planar pentagon. Binding energies and spinmixing are given for the optimized structure.

    Notes: The semiempirical Atoms-in-a-Molecule (AIM) hardness matrix, η, is defined, using the usual finite difference formula, ηii = Ii - Ai, for the diagonal AIM hardness and the Ohno formula, ηij = 1/(a2 + R2ij)1/2, for the off-diagonal AIM hardness. The Ohno formula is shown to exhibit the correct asymptotic behavior and satisfies the relevant stability criterion. The normal displacements in the AIM electron populations are examined for pyrrole and N-methyl pyrrole, and their relation to the polarization channels is briefly discussed. The new AIM hardness matrix is also tested by comparing the predicted global hardnesses with the corresponding experimental finite difference data for selected diatomics and triatomics. Finally implications of the hardness combination rules are examined and the corresponding softness combination rules are used to calculate the regional and global softnesses of selected molecules. We examine how the regional softnesses reflect known trends in selectivity of protonation of five membered heterocycles, and comment on the signs of the AIM fukui function and the Hard-Soft-Acids-and-Bases principle.

The Hamiltonian is bounded from below and does not exhibit variational collapse. Calculations on one electron atoms for the ground state, 2pl/2 and 2p3/2 states are presented. The results essentially coincide with those obtained from first order perturbation theory.

    Notes: The application of molecular ab initio methods to investigate the electronic structure of localized impurities in semiconductors requires the study of the convergence of the results with increasing cluster size. Here we compare results for interstitial Ti in silicon, obtained with clusters of increasing size: TiSi10H16, TiSi30H40, and TiSi66H64. These clusters contain one, two, or three shells of silicon atoms, respectively, centered around Ti at a Td interstitial site. The hydrogen atoms serve as saturators of the dangling bonds. The Si core electrons are replaced by an effective potential. The calculations are based on open shell RHF theory and limited CI extensions. The charge distribution in the central part of the three clusters is very similar. In the clusters the partially occupied orbitals are much more delocalized than the 3d orbitals in the free ions. The total impurity-induced electronic charge, however, is quite localized, due to the compensating response of the Si closed shell density. Ionization of the impurity also causes a compensating response of the Si closed shells: only about 10% of the density difference is in the impurity region and the major part is behind the outermost shell of Si atoms. Transition metal associated (3d-like) excitation energies are not very dependent on the cluster size, and the relative ordering of the lowest lying states remains unchanged. Impurity associated ionization energies decrease considerably due to the extra relaxation offered by the additional shells of Si atoms. Our results indicate that a reliable description of interstitial transition metals in silicon can be provided by calculations on reasonably small clusters: Si30H40 is sufficiently large.

    Notes: The titled isomerization has been studied at the HF/3-21G level. The changes in thermodynamic functions, equilibrium constant K(T), conversion efficiency C(T), and the rate constant k(T) for the isomerization have been calculated using our energies of the reactant (R), transition state (TS), and product (P), their harmonic vibrational frequencies, and the classical and corrected barrier (by vibrational zero-point energies). In the range of temperature, 300-1200K, ΔH 〈 0, ΔS 〉 0 and ΔG 〈 0; i.e., it is exothermic, increasing in the entropy, and spontaneous reaction. ΔS≠ 〈 0, log A is about 12.0 ±0.15 (s-1), but the k(T) is from 2.627 × 10(-33) to 6.933 × 10(8) (5-1); i.e., it passes through a tight TS, the A factor changes little, but the rate constant varies rapidly with the temperature. These results agree with the fact that the isomerization occurs readily at high temperature. Furthermore, Newman's mechanism, 2SiH2 → (H2SiSiH2)* → (HSiSiH3)* → Si2H2 + H2, is supported. Similarly, the isomerization, HDSiSiH2 → HSiSiDH2, is also studied.

    Notes: A complete active space MCSCF (multi-configuration self-consistent field) scheme (CASSCF) using relativistic effective potentials followed by configuration interaction and relativistic CI calculations provides a very good description of the electronic states and potential energy surfaces of transition metal dihydrides. Such calculations are of considerable value not only in our understanding of the transition metal-hydrogen bonding but also in the prediction of the barrier to insert the metal atom into the H2 bond. All-electron CASSCF/CI calculations are carried out on twelve electronic states of CoH2. Comparable RECP-CASSCF/CI calculations are also carried out to show that the RECP-CASSCF/CI calculations provide an accurate method for the investigation of transition metal compounds. The general method of RECP-CASSCF/CI calculations for molecules containing heavy atoms is described. The calculations on CoH2 are compared with similar calculations on ScH2, YH2, PtH2, and PdH2. A critical comparison of all these transition metal hydrides reveals that in general the low-spin excited metal atom inserts into H2 spontaneously while the high spin ground state atom has to surmount a large barrier.

    Notes: The problems involved in determining the mechanisms of reactions by quantum mechanical calculations are discussed. Various precautions must be taken if the results of any calculation are to be chemically meaningful. Ab initio studies of reactions must also be carried out at a high level, using large basis sets and allowing for electron correlation. Such calculations are usually restricted to the simplest example of a reaction, which is often untypical. More information can usually be obtained at far less cost through AM1 calculations for a number of examples of a reaction for which experimental data are available. These points are illustrated by recent studies of the Cope rearrangement.

    Notes: The aim of this article is to illustrate the use of symbolic computation in solving some problems in quantum theory. Emphasis will be given to the possibility of manipulating expressions symbolically and to the interface of numerical and algebraic languages. The illustrate the use of the scientific computation language Maple as a research tool, we present our work on lower energy bounds for anharmonic oscillators and on the spherical Zeeman effect. Another example consists in the perturbation calculations of the N-dimensional hydrogen atom, keeping the quantum labels in general form. Further, we describe the interface of Maple, Fortran, and the typesetting language, Troff. The basic feature is illustrated on the application of the inner projection technique and of the method of intermediate Hamiltonians on the benzene molecule as well as on the geminal approach to the butadiene molecule; the main calculations were first done in Maple and then transferred into Fortran's notation so that Fortran subroutines could be used. Finally, the results either in Maple or in Fortran can be transferred to a Troff file.

    Notes: The potential energy curve describing the fragmentation of a diatomic dication AB2+ is considered as arising from an avoided crossing between an attractive diabatic curve (correlating with A2+ + B) and a repulsive diabatic curve (correlating with A+ + B+). The simplest avoided-crossing (AC) model neglects diabatic coupling and polarization and leads to useful predictions of the transition structure bond length (rTS) and the kinetic energy released (T) in fragmentations of dicationic systems in which the difference (Δ1) between the ionization energies of A+ and B is small. When Δ1 is not small, it is necessary to include diabatic coupling and polarization in the treatment. The resultant ACDCP (avoided crossing with diabatic coupling and polarization) model provides very satisfactory estimates of rTS and T for both small and large Δ1. Its implementation requires only atomic ionization energy and polarizability data and comes at virtually no computational cost. Both the AC and ACDCP models are readily generalized to fragmentations of more highly charged cations.

    Notes: The effect of electron-electron repulsions is assessed, primarily in the expanded fluid alkali metals, by confronting experimental data on these systems with the predictions of theory. This is usefully divided into two types of approach: (i)full inclusion of the long-range Coulomb interaction e2/rij between electrons i and j, but perturbative treatment of electron-ion interaction and(ii)the simplified on-site interaction described by the Hubbard U.The main conclusion is that both electron-ion and electron-electron correlations are of major importance in the expanded fluid alkali metals, and especially in Cs. The momentum distribution of the conduction electrons is changed in a very important quantitative way from the predictions of the jellium model at the same density by the electron-ion interaction. This leads to a metal-insulator transition at a much higher electron density than the jellium prediction. The relevance of this conclusion to crystalline alkalis is finally referred to.

The approach is simple and direct and requires only efficient algorithms for the generation and processing of permutations and the handling of Rumer diagrams: it makes modest demands on computing power and pilot calculations have indeed been performed entirely within the fast memory of a personal computer, which should be sufficient for dealing with systems possessing up to 10 electrons outside a closed shell. Simple applications confirm the conclusion of Cooper et al. [1] that, by using strongly overlapping orbitals, a small number of classical (nonpolar) structures can give results close to those obtained in a “full CI” calculation.

    Notes: A set of 20 nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, whose mutagenicity has been determined in the Ames test, has been studied using octanol-water partition coefficients (P) as a measure of relative hydrophobicity and molecular orbital energies to account for variation in their electronic characteristics. A good structure-activity relationship was found using log P and ∊LUMO. The latter were taken from the results of ab initio calculations performed by Maynard, Pedersen, Posner, and McKinney [7] and were also calculated by the MNDO method. The dependence of mutagenicity on hydrophobicity was found to be similar to that observed for triazenes [2]. ∊LUMO values calculated by MNDO and STO-3G were found to be strongly correlated, and the role of hydrophobicity in correlating mutagenicity was not significantly affected by the molecular orbital model employed.

    Molecular conformations and molecular shape: A discrete characterization of continua of van der Waals surfaces (1988)

    Notes: A characterization of molecular model surfaces is proposed. It is based on a graph associated with the van der Waals surface, defined by the detailed information on the interpenetration of van der Waals spheres of the constituent atoms. This “van der Waals graph” describes the three-dimensional body of the molecule, and it does not coincide in general with the less informative bond graph obtainable from the molecular skeleton.The description in terms of the graph reveals clearly the changes in molecular shape induced by conformational rearrangements. The nuclear configurations can be classified by the graph associated with the molecular surface, and the graph-theoretical analysis provides a rigorous partitioning of the configurational space based on shape properties.

    Notes: A systematic collection of spatial domains for reciprocal space integrations is derived for all possible crystal symmetries. This set can be used as a simpler alternative to the conventional Brillouin zones. The analysis is restricted to integrations where the function in the integrand satisfies inversion symmetry in k space. In this case only 24 different spatial domains have to be defined in order to allow for k space integrations in the 230 different crystal symmetries. A graphic representation of the asymmetric unit for each of the 24 integration domains is given. Special positions and the associated weighting factors required for numerical integrations in theoretical solid-state approaches are tabulated.

    Notes: Application of free-energy simulation methods to the calculation of thermodynamic properties for biologically relevant processes will be presented. Attention will be given to the usefulness of thermodynamic methods to explore the accuracy of empirical energy functions. Calculations of aqueous hydration and binding thermodynamics for drug molecules (trimethoprim and other related compounds) to biological targets (the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase) will be presented. In these applications we will discuss differences in “binding modes” for different drugs and the ability of thermodynamic methods to predict these changes. Finally, comments will be made regarding the free energy derivative methods and coordinate-coupled free energy calculations.

    Notes: In this paper we have addressed an important problem: how to develop a strategy for identification of the topological indices which are most important in establishing a model for structure-activity analysis. In particular we consider a rational selection of graph theoretical (topological) indices in QSAR. The approach is illustrated by the study of the toxicity of ethers on mice. The indices examined include the connectivity indices based on adjacency matrix, the conceptually related graph distance indices, and an information theoretic index based on partitioning of electrons in various domains. We have outlined the similarities and differences and discuss advantages and limitations among different approaches. Our emphasis is on the problem how to select in a rational way appropriate graph-theoretical descriptors and how to introduce higher “corrections” in order to improve derived correlation.

    Notes: Vibrational frequencies and IR band intensities for 18 isotopomers of uracil, including deuterated 15N and 18O species, have been calculated using the scaled ab initio force field of Ref. 1. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data, and a number of refinements in former assignments are proposed. The good agreement between the calculated and experimental frequencies confirms the reliability of the scaled quantum mechanical-force field.

    Self-consistent reaction field calculations on the proton transfer in ammonia-formic acid systems as a model for hydrogen bonding in amino acids in solution (1988)

    Notes: The reaction field (RF) model of solvent effects, implemented within the SCF-CNDO/2 scheme of calculation, has been applied to analyze the proton transfer in the NH3…HCOOH system in the presence of several polarizable media. The aim of such a study was to characterize the tatutomeric equilibrium between the neutral and zwiterionic forms of H-bonded amino acids in aprotic solvents. Qualitative results concerning the energetics of this equilbrium show the stabilization of two different H-bonded complexes, corresponding to two separate minima in the free energy surface. These well known double minima potentials are found to be dependent on both the intermolecular N—O distance and the strength of the reaction field. The behavior of this model is qualitatively consistent with experimental observations of nitrogen-substituted amino acids in solution: both show, for low values of the dielectric constant, tautomeric equilibria where the H-bonded complexes appear to be more stable than the corresponding monomeric forms. The charge transfer process associated with the proton migration along the H-bond is also discussed. It is found that the amount of charge transferred increases with the N—O distance and with the RF strength, In order to test the general approach and compare it with previous work, calculations on the real monomeric systems glycine, β-alanine, and γ-amino butyric acid was also performed.

    Notes: Analytical intermolecular potentials for the Fe+-H2O and Feo-H2O systems have been determined from ab initio calculations. Interaction energies for a lot of points along the two potential energy surfaces were calculated using Huzinga's MINI-2 basis set. The results obtained were fitted to an analytical function containing 11 adjustable parameters that we have already used with success for the Fe2+-H2O system. The goodness of the generated intermolecular potentials is discussed.

The systems of [Co(NH3)6]q and [MCl4]q, M being Ni, Pd, and Pt, have been studied. A modified Germer model of solvation has been implemented into the method. This yields reliable results on the redox stability of complexes in aqueous solutions. The calculated excitation energies resemble the electronic spectra of [MCl4]2- complexes.

    Notes: The ability to artificially structure new semiconductor materials on an atomic scale, using advanced crystal growth methods such as molecular beam epitaxy and metal organic chemical vapor deposition, has led recently to the observation of new physical phenomena as well as the creation of entirely new classes of devices based on band gap and wave function engineering. In these lectures an elementary introduction is given to the quantum aspects of these new structures.
