    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung 7 Oligodendrogliome, davon 2 mit uniformem Zell-Typ, 4 mit Zell- oder Gewebs-Unregelmäßigkeit, 1 mit glioblastomatösen Veränderungen wurden elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Die Tumorzellen zeigten 2 Haupttypen mit morphologischen Übergängen zwischen beiden auf. Die Hauptformen wurden als Typ 1 (undifferenziert) und 2 (differenziert) definiert, gestützt auf die Anzahl anaplastischer Zellen im jeweiligen Tumor und auf die Beobachtung nicht-neoplastischer Oligodendrocyten nach Mori and Leblond (21). Die meisten Tumorzellen aller Fälle wiesen ähnliche licht- und elektronenmikroskopische Charakteristika auf, einschließlich der Zell-Anordnung und ihrer Tendenz, zytoplasmatische Fortätze zu bilden. Diese Befunde waren auch in den glioblastomähnlichen Tumoren zu erkennen und bestätigen damit deren Oligodendrogliom-Komponente. Außerdem fand man regelmäßig in allen Tumoren eine Zunahme der Größe und Zahl der Mitochondrien, reichlich intrazytoplasmatische Strukturen und Mikrotubuli. Auch Zellen mit zytoplasmatischen Filamenten waren vorhanden, die als reaktive Astrocyten oder als oligodendrogliale Tumorzellen angesehen wurden. Daher scheinen weder zytoplasmatische Filamente noch Mikrotubuli ein spezifisches morphologisches Kriterium für Oligodendroglia oder Astrocyten zu sein. Das Überwiegen einer dieser beiden Strukturen erlaubt jedoch eine zytogenetische Zuordnung. Die zytologischen Charakteristika sind zwar keine spezifischen morphologischen Kriterien; die Feststellung ihrer Anwesenheit gibt jedoch wichtige diagnostische Informationen.
    Notizen: Summary Seven Oligodendrogliomas (2 with uniform cell type, 4 with cellular or tissue variability, and 1 with glioblastomatous changes) were examined ultrastructurally. The tumor cells were of two principal types with morphologic transitions between the two main types. The two principal cell types were identified as type 1 (undifferentiated) and type 2 (differentiated) on the basis of the number of anaplastic cells in an individual tumor and on the observations of Mori and Leblond (21) on non-neoplastic oligodendrocytes. Most of the tumor cells in all tumors exhibited similar histologic and ultrastructural characteristics including their arrangement and their tendency to form cytoplasmic processes which sometimes formed short stacks. These features were also recognizable in the glioblastomatous example and confirmed the presence of an oligodendroglial component. In addition to these characteristics, an increase in size and number of mitochondria, abundant intracytoplasmic structures, microtubules were regularly present in virtually all tumor cells. Cells rich in cytoplasmic filaments were present. These were identified as reactive astrocytes or as oligodendroglial tumor cells. Thus neither cytoplasmic filaments nor microtubules appear to be specific morphological markers for oligodendroglia or astrocytes; only the predominance of one of these structures permits cytogenetic identifications. The cytologic characteristics are not specific morphologic markers; however, recognition of their presence provides important diagnostic information.

    Notizen: Summary Cytodifferentiation of inner enamel epithelium and the adjacent connective tissue from the tip of the cervical loop to the initiation of enamel elaboration in twoMacaca species was examined. Ten- to twelve-month-old specimens were fixed by perfusion and the permanent tooth buds were prepared for transmission electron microscopy. At the cervical loop proper, inner enamel epithelium cells have lobed nuclei, a paucity of cytoplasm, and wide extracellular spaces; the basal lamina facing the dental papilla is straight. With increasing distance from the tip of the cervical loop, the following changes occur gradually: (a) preameloblasts elongate from 15 to 45 µm, and their organelles, particularly mitochondria and profiles of rough endoplasmic reticulum, become more numerous; (b) extracellular spaces decrease between preameloblasts starting at the basal (infranuclear) end; (c) the basement membrane becomes convoluted and associated with aperiodic fibers; (d) preodontoblast projections penetrate the aperiodic fibers; (e) collagen fibers subjacent to the basement membrane increase in density, with particularly thick fibers paralleling the aperiodic fibers. These modifications occur within three-fourths of the distance from the tip of the cervical loop to the mineralization front. The condensation of preodontoblasts is followed immediately by predentin synthesis. Concomitantly, the basement membrane breaks down and the aperiodic fibers are engulfed by preameloblasts. Preameloblast projections penetrate junctional predentin, contact mineralized dentin, and enamel synthesis ensues. At this stage the ameloblast is 45 µm long, the nucleus is central or basal, the Golgi apparatus has migrated apically, but the Tomes' process has not yet formed. The results indicate that odontogenesis inMacaca monkeys more closely resembles human odontogenesis than does that in the murine rodents.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Hyperlipidämien sind ein häufiger Befund bei Diabetes mellitus. Da neben der Leber auch die Dünndarmmukosa endogene Lipoproteine synthetisiert, war es von Interesse, bei 11 Erwachsenen mit juvenilem Diabetes und bei 7 Patienten mit Altersdiabetes den Lipidgehalt der Dünndarmmukosa zu bestimmen. Als Kontrolle dienten 11 nicht diabetische Patienten. Nach einer Nüchternperiode von 12–14 h erfolgte zunächst eine Blutabnahme zur Bestimmung von Nüchternblutzucker, Serumlipiden und glykosyliertem Hämoglobin AI, daraufhin wurden mittels einer hydraulischen Biopsiesonde oder endoskopisch mehrere Dünndarmbiopsien entnommen und zur biochemischen, histochemischen und elektronenoptischen Auswertung entsprechend aufgearbeitet. Biochemisch unterschieden sich die Patienten mit juvenilem und mit Altersdiabetes weder hinsichtlich der Serumlipidwerte noch der intestinalen Lipidkonzentrationen von den Kontrollpersonen. Auffallend war allerdings, daß Patienten mit Altersdiabetes eine signifikant höhere intestinale Triglyzeridkonzentration aufwiesen, als Patienten mit juvenilem Diabetes (p〈0,005). Nüchternblutzucker und Hämoglobin AI waren bei beiden Patientengruppen mäßig erhöht. Histochemisch waren sowohl bei den Patienten als auch bei den Kontrollpersonen Lipidpartikel in der Mukosa nachweisbar, allerdings mit großen individuellen Unterschieden. Elektronenoptisch unterschieden sich die Patienten mit Altersdiabetes nicht von den Kontrollen. Nur einer der Patienten mit juvenilem Diabetes zeigte gehäufte Lipidpartikel in den Zisternen des Golgi-Apparates. Somit konnte weder biochemisch, histochemisch, noch elektronenoptisch eine abnorme Lipidakkumulation in der Dünndarmschleimhaut von Patienten mit gut kontrolliertem Diabetes mellitus festgestellt werden.
    Notizen: Summary Hyperlipemia is a frequent finding in diabetes mellitus. As not only the liver, but intestinal mucosa as well synthesizes endogenous lipoproteins, we have investigated the small intestinal mucosal lipid content in 11 adult patients with juvenile onset diabetes and in 7 patients with maturity onset diabetes. Eleven non-diabetic patients served as controls. After a fasting period of 12–14 h blood was drawn for determination of glucose, lipids and glycosylated hemoglobin AI. Then several small bowel biopsies were performed by an hydraulic multiple biopsy tube or endoscopically and the specimens were processed immediately for further biochemical, histochemical and electronmicroscopical workup. Patients with juvenile and with maturity onset diabetes did not differ from controls with regard to serum lipids and to intestinal mucosal lipids determined biochemically. Surprisingly, patients with maturity onset diabetes exhibited a significantly (p〈0,005) higher concentration of intestinal mucosal triglycerides than patients with juvenile onset diabetes. Fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin AI levels were slightly elevated in both groups of diabetic patients. Histochemically lipid particles were demonstrable in intestinal mucosa of diabetics and of controls with equal variability. The electronmicroscopical appearance of intestinal mucosa did not differ between diabetic patients and controls. Only in one patient with juvenile onset diabetes an accumulation of lipid particles within the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus was observed. In conclusion, neither biochemically, nor histochemically, nor electronmicroscopically an abnormal accumulation of lipids could be found in the small intestinal mucosa of patients with well controlled diabetes mellitus.

    Notizen: Summary An unusual case of meningeal granulocytic sarcoma without evidence of Leukemia is presented. The patient, a 40 year old female, presented with a chronic subdural haematoma. Three months later a large meningeal tumor was discovered adjacent to the previous haematoma and was found to be a granulocytic sarcoma by the use of electron microscopy. The tumor was treated by surgical excision followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The patient remains free of symptoms and without evidence of leukemia in the peripheral blood or bone marrow 9 months after the diagnosis was established. The ultrastructural findings in the tumor and diagnostic difficulties often encountered are emphasized.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Die sog. reducing body myopathy, eine sehr seltene progressive muskuläre Krankheit, zeigt neben einer unspezifischen herdförmigen Muskelfaserdegeneration als typisches morphologisches Merkmal Muskelfasereinschlüsse, die reduzierende Eigenschaften aufweisen. Die nosologische Einordnung des Krankheitsbildes blieb bisher ungeklärt. Es wird über ein 15 Jahre altes Mädchen mit einer zunehmenden allgemeinen Muskelschwäche und Muskelatrophie berichtet, bei dem in der Muskelbiopsie neben unterschiedlichen regressiven Veränderungen zahlreiche Fasereinschlüsse beobachtet wurden, die u.a. in der Lage sind, ohne Substrat Tetrazoliumsalze in Gegenwart von Menadione zu reduzieren. Feinstrukturell sind diese Einschlüsse aus Granula von 12–16 nm Durchmesser zusammengesetzt. Eine Schwester der Erkrankten leidet seit vielen Jahren an einer klinisch und morphologisch gleichartigen Krankheit. Die sog. reducing body myopathy muß daher in die Gruppe der congenitalen Myopathien mit strukturellen Besonderheiten eingeordnet werden. Nachdem darüber hinaus bei anderen Muskelkrankheiten ebenfalls Fasereinschlüsse mit reduzierenden Eigenschaften vorkommen können, die jedoch in ihren übrigen strukturellen und histochemischen Eigenschaften keine Übereinstimmung mit den bei der sog. reducing body myopathy nachweisbaren Inclusionen besitzen, sollte das Krankheitsbild nach seinem führenden morphologischen Merkmal, den offenbar nur hier vorkommenden granulären Fasereinschlüssen, benannt werden. Es wird vorgeschlagen, die sog. reducing body myopathy als Granularkörpermyopathie zu bezeichnen.
    Notizen: Summary Reducing body myopathy is a very rare progressive muscular disease. Apart from a non-specific circumscribed muscle fiber degeneration it displays muscle fiber inclusions which have reducing properties as a typical morphological feature. The nosological classification of the disease is not settled. A case in a 15 years old girl is reported. She suffered from a progressive muscular weakness and atrophy and in a muscle biopsy regressive changes were obvious. Furthermore, multiple eosinophilic muscle fiber inclusions were also observed, which exhibited reducing properties. They consist of electron dense granules with a diameter of 12–16 nm. Since a sister of the patient has suffered for many years from a clinically and morphologically similar muscle disease, reducing body myopathy apparently belongs to the group of congenital myopathies with structural abnormalities. Muscle fiber inclusions with reducing properties also occur in another myopathy, in which they structural and histochemical differ widely from those found in reducing body myopathy. The reducing body myopathy is better named after its typical morphological property, the granular inclusions. It is proposed to name it “granular body myopathy”.

    Notizen: Summary The pathogenesis of cyclic hematopoiesis (CH) in the grey collie dog is still unknown. It has been proposed that periodic bursts of necrosis of the bone marrow neutrophils would induce cyclic arrests of the stem cell differentiation. In the present study, the sequential changes undergone by the erythroid and neutrophil series of the bone marrow of CH dogs were evaluated by electron microscopy. Erythroid cells presented quantitative periodic oscillations but the morphologic features of both immature and mature cells were normal. On the contrary, nonspecific necrotic changes were observed to occur in the myeloid series. Those abnormalities, which were more marked between days 9 and 11 of the cycle, mainly involved the immature cells and, to a lesser extent, the mature neutrophils. The number of necrotic cells was variable in different cycles, but always represented a small portion of the myeloid cells. In addition, few bone marrow macrophages displayed signs of phagocytic activity containing cell debris. The ultrastructural changes of the myeloid series were accompanied by an abnormal decrease of peroxidase activity and the permanence of large acid phosphatase-positive Golgi complexes in mature neutrophils, as defined by morphologic criteria. Döhle-like arrays of rough endoplasmic reticulum were present in many cells. Our findings suggest that an asynchronic development of myelocytes occurs as a result of regulatory abnormalities related to the congenital defect of the bone marrow which interferes with the differentiation and maturation of the stem cells. Necrosis in some myeloid cells would be a secondary phenomenon rather than a causal factor for the cyclic arrest of cell maturation as has been previously submitted. Furthermore, the small size of the necrotic cell population could not justify the production of “inhibitors” in sufficient amounts as to block the normal evolution of the bone marrow stem cell pool.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructural organization of the adult human aortic media was studied utilizing aortic biopsies from 14 patients, ranging in age from 28 to 67, who underwent cardiac surgery. Apart from solid elastic elements the tissue spaces contained a vast amount of ill-defined thin streaks of elasin, an observation much facilitated by utilizing a selective elastin staining technique. In favorable sections, these streaks were found to be continuous with the solid elastic laminae. Furthermore, most medial smooth muscle cells were in close contact with the thin streaks, but almost none directly with the elastic laminae. The smooth muscle cells had also virtually no connection with collagen fibers. These observations are in contrast with the organization of elastin and with cell-to-stroma connections in the more extensively studied rodent and porcine aortas; they bring into question the role of the smooth muscle cells in the regulation of the viscoelastic properties of the human aortic wall. Other findings were: large number of nexuses connecting the smooth muscle cells, a very small degree of smooth muscle cell degeneration, and the presence of flocculent, fine-granular material investing all formed elements, but especially associated with the thin streaks of elastin.

    Notizen: Summary A female newborn, the second child of healthy non consanguineous parents, exhibited muscular hypotonia, areflexia, apathy, seizures, hepatomegaly and failure to thrive since birth. The peculiar skull shape was lacking. In the urine pipecolic acid and trihydroxycoprostanoic acid were excreted. At the age of seven weeks she died of bronchopneumonia. Lightmicroscopy revealed malformations and deficiency of myelinisation in the brain, renal cysts and fatty metamorphosis in the enlarged liver, which showed only minimal siderosis. Ultrastructurally no peroxisomes could be found in liver and kidney. No peroxisomes were detected by histochemical demonstration of catalase in frozen liver tissue which was taken immediately after death and stored for three months. Absence of peroxisomes is pathognomonic for the cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome of Zellweger and occurs in the liver irrespective of duration and degree of liver damage. It is best demonstrated by enzymehistochemical electron microscopy. With this method peroxisomes can be visualized even 30 h post mortem. In deep frozen normal liver tissue the activity of catalase remains very stable and enables the identification of peroxisomes even after a 12 months period of storage. In the cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome of Zellweger, frozen liver tissue should be stored for biochemical and diagnostic enzymehistochemical studies.

    Notizen: Summary Fetal stem arteries of the 3rd order of 50 normal placentas obtained at term of unevenful pregnancies were examined by transmission electron microscopy with the aim at providing a base-line information for the assessment of similar arteries in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The results showed that the endothelial cells often protruded with a considerable portion of their cellular body into the lumen, and that the intercellular junctions between the neighbouring cells were confined largely to their short basal segments. Numerous myoepithelial junctions were formed between the processes of the endothelial cells and those extending from the smooth muscle cells (SMC) of the adjacent medial layer. At times the “participating” processes of the SMC were entirely enclosed within the endothelial body. Collagen fibrils increased in number between the SMC and the interstitium broadened progressively from the inner to the outer arterial layers. Small cellular processes devoided of a basement membrane and of most cytoplasmic organelles were numerous in the interstitium; these were traced to the main bodies of the medial SMC. It is postulated that the “naked” SMC-processes are susceptible to injury of a nature much more subtle than that affecting the main body of the SMC, since these processes were often swollen and appeared edematous in an otherwise innocuous mural environment.

    Notizen: Summary Neoplastic and non-neoplastic tissue specimens from ten patients with primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder were examined. Most of these tumors were associated with either foci of transitional cell carcinoma and/or with glandular metaplasia of the bladder epithelium. The mucin produced by the neoplastic cells was PAS, alcian blue, mucicarmine, PB/KOH/PAS, and RPB/KOH/PAS-positive. ABH isoantigens of these tumors were not always deleted. Ultrastructurally, the neoplastic cells resembled goblet cells. Their plasma membrane had numerous microvilli with prominent glycocalyx. Proliferation and attenuation of tight junctions were noted. The gap junctions were few and small. Two types of desmosomes were found. The ultrastructural features of the neoplastic cells were attributed in part to the malignant transformation and in part to the direction of their differentiation. We have not observed any distinctive morphologic, histochemical, immunologic or ultrastructural features that might be diagnostic for these adenocarcinomas.

    Notizen: Summary A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung is reported. The tumour margin was well circumscribed, showing an expanding border and no capsule. The main part of the tumour was composed of spindle-shaped fibroblast-like cells arranged in broad fascicles with a partially storiform pattern. Other parts of the tumour were arranged in a haphazard pattern, containing many mononucleated and multinucleated giant cells. Ultrastructurally six differnt cell types were encountered. The dominant type was a fibroblast-like cell; also present were many giant cells and some histiocyte-like cells, together with their intermediate forms, and few undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. We consider this tumour to have developed from the peribronchial connective tissue; it has the same cellular composition as the malignant counterpart arising in soft tissues.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Bei einer 67jährigen Patientin mit einem metastasierenden Dünndarmcarcinoid fanden sich bei der Autopsie die für das Carcinoidsyndrom typischen Endokardveränderungen der rechten Herzhöhlen. Anhand dieses Falles und des Schrifttums wird über die Ultrastruktur der endokardialen Auflagerungen beim Carcinoidsyndrom berichtet. Charakteristisch für diese Auflagerungen ist die Proliferation von glatten Muskelzellen und Myofibroblasten, die von reichlich basalmembranähnlichem Material umgeben sind und vereinzelt durch Maculae adhärentes untereinander verbunden sind. Die Grundsubstanz ist aus sauren Mucopolysacchariden, normalen kollagenen Fibrillen und Mikrofibrillen aufgebaut. Die Verdickungen unterscheiden sich morphologisch von allen anderen Endokardveränderungen, unter anderem durch das Fehlen von amorphem Elastin. Ihre Entstehung im Zusammenhang mit der endokrinen Aktivität der Carcinoide wird diskutiert.
    Notizen: Summary In a 67-year-old female patient with metastasising carcinoid of the small intestine there were right-sided endocardial plaques characteristic of the carcinoid syndrome. Ultrastructurally, the lesions showed proliferation of smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts, which were surrounded by basementmembrane-like material and occasionally showed intercellular connections of the macula adhaerens type. The ground substance consisted of acid mucopolysaccharides, normal collagen fibrils, and microfibrils. The endocardial plaques in the carcinoid syndrome differ morphologically from other endocardial lesions by the lack of amorphous elastin. The formation of plaques and its relation to the endocrine activity of the carcinoid tumors is discussed, and pertinent literature is reviewed.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of the epididymal duct and ductuli efferentes in the dog has been studied by electron microscopy. The epididymidis can be separated into the classical divisions of caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis on the basis of general morphology and ultrastructure. The ductuli efferentes have a low epithelium with pronounced cilia at the apices of cells and appear to provide primarily a transport role for spermatozoa. In the epididymis proper the caput region is characterized by an extremely large Golgi apparatus with large numbers of lysosomes and nuclear inclusions. Secretory activity appears to be most common in the corpus region. Absorption and secretion are most active in the first two segments while in the cauda epideidymidis the long-term storage of spermatozoa in the lumen is associated with many dense crystalline bodies formed in the epithelial cells within the Golgi apparatus and possibly deriving from absorbed macromolecular material from the lumen. The theory of whole sperm cell resorption by the epididymal duct is not supported by this study.

    Notizen: Summary The location and the spatial arrangement of smooth muscle cells in aortic valves have been assessed by a systematic analysis of serial semithin sections of plastic embedded porcine and human aortic leaflets, combined with an electron microscope study. The investigation showed that smooth muscle cells, either single and arranged in thin bundles, and other cell types such as myofibroblasts are constantly present in the aortic valve leaflets. In addition, it was possible to devise a model of the three dimensional, specific organization of the smooth muscle bundles which can be interpreted as an intrinsic muscle system of the leaflets. As the muscular elements might play an active role in the normal functioning of the valve, their presence should be taken into account in designing (bio) prosthetic leaflets and in the evaluation of valve pathology.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructural study of a skin biopsy in a patient afflicted with hereditary sensory neuropathy type IV (congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis) did not reveal any unmyelinated axons or axonal terminals around eccrine sweat glands but only proccsses, partially covered by a basement membrane and therefore resembling Schwann cell processes. The absence of such unmyelinated axons in close proximity to eccrine sweat glands where they normally occur appears to be the morphological equivalent to the anhidrosis and also corresponds to the deficiency of unmyelinated axons in the sural nerve of the same patient, as previously reported.

    Notizen: Summary Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles were studied by electron microscopy. The study includes four cases of Alzheimer's disease, two cases of atypical senile dementia, and one case of progressive supranuclear palsy. In Alzheimer's disease the tangles were composed of either straight filaments or paired helical filaments. In progressive supranuclear palsy the tangles were composed of 15 nm straight filaments or helical filaments. A few straight filaments were mixed with paired helical filaments. In atypical senile dementia, both straight and paired helical filaments comprised the tangles and one type of filaments appeared to intermingle with the other in the same neurons.

    Notizen: Summary Light-and electron-microscopical studies were conducted on necropsy material from six cases of rabies encephalitis including three with the unusual feature of surviving for over 14 days as a result of intensive medical care. This included administration of antiviral agents and interferon inducers and prevention of hypoxia by intermittent positive pressure ventilation. In all these cases, typical Negri bodies were demonstrated. Inflammatory reaction was absent or minimal. Unlike the cases with short survival where Negri bodies were infrequently seen and restricted mostly to the hippocampus, in cases with prolonged survival, they were present in large number, widely distributed throughout the grey matter of the brain. The associated inflammatory reaction in these cases, however, did not keep pace with the increase in number of inclusion bodies. Peripheral neuritis was observed in two of these cases, which also showed myelitis involving the cervical region and inflammation of dorsal root ganglia. One of them showed necrosis and severe inflammation of the lower cervical sympathetic ganglion. An electron-microscopical study conducted in four cases showed three forms of the inclusion body in the cytoplasm of neurons.

    Notizen: Summary A disseminated choroid plexus papilloma (DCPP) with a malignant change in the cervico-spinal leptomeninges observed 4 years after the removal of choroid plexus papilloma (CPP), originating from the fourth ventricle, was studied under the electron microscope. Although the ultrastructure of intracranial CPP has been reported by several authors, there are just a few reports on DCPP. The present tumor was ultrastructurally very similar to normal choroid plexus, but the lack of the capillary fenestration and of invaginations of the epithelial basal plasmalemmas suggested that the epithelium was deprived of secretory function.

    Notizen: Summary A new organelle found in a case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is described. It was located at the periphery of a regenerated myofibre close to a satellite cell. It was roughly sperical in shape and 0.30–0.35 μm in diameter. Its internal structure was examined in serial and tilted sections, and consisted of parallel arrays of laminae or, possibly, filaments. The nature of the organelle is briefly discussed.

    Notizen: Summary Ultrastructural study of the retina from a patient with Tay-Sachs disease disclosed that amacrine cells as well as ganglion cells were loaded with numerous membranous cytoplasmic bodies, suggesting an accumulation of GM2 ganglioside, whereas the horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and photoreceptor cells were intact. Chromatography of lipids from the retina showed a prominent spot of GM2 ganglioside. These facts suggest that lipid metabolism in amacrine cells may be different from that in other retinal cells.

    Notizen: Summary An 18-year-old girl died following a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease of nine years duration. At 9 years of age, she developed intellectual deterioration associated with speach difficulty, pseudobulbar palsy and ataxia. The progression included spastic quadriplegia, anarthria, severe dysphagia, ophthalmoplegia, and pes cavus. There was no family history. The brain was uniformly small and the substantia nigra was not pigmented. Neuronal loss and gliosis involving globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, thalamic nuclei, brain stem, cerebellum, and spinal cord gave the picture of multisystem atrophy. Intranuclear hyaline inclusions were observed in numerous neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system. These were auto-fluorescent and were made up of intermingled straight filaments (8–9 nm in diameter). Only two previously reported cases showing these same inclusions are known. They are reviewed, compared, and discussed in relation to primary neuronal degenerations.

Described are the ultrastructural, histochemical and ultracytochemical properties of amyelic cultured rat Schwann cells. Ultrastructural characteristics of the cultured Schwann cells are compared to the Schwann cells of 3 day-old and adult rat sciatic nerve. These findings serve as a basis for comparison when studying experimentally induced alterations in the cultured Schwann cells as well as changes due to myelination in vitro.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of myogenic cells occurring in neoplasms was investigated and aspects of differentiation (myofilament interactions and organization, and sarcotubular development) were characterized. The stages of muscle differentiation present were extremely similar to those reported during human fetal development prior to innervation. Exceptions, however, being: (1) the presence of fewer multinucleated cells; (2) the general lack of cell elongation and its apparent effect on myofibril orientation; and (3) evidence of a higher number of myofilaments in mononucleated cells. The findings were compared to those reported in normal human fetal development, human myogenic cells in vitro and the literature on mammalian and avian muscle development and discussed with regard to the influence of tension and innervation. The significance of degenerating myogenic cells found in these neoplasms is also discussed.

    Notizen: Summary Seven cases of meningiomas with “pseudopsammoma bodies” have previously been described in the literature. Two additional cases are presented. Electron microscopy of the cells surrounding the “pseudopsammoma bodies” reveals an ultrastructure different from that of the meningotheliomatous cells. It is concluded that meningotheliomatous meningiomas with “pseudopsammoma bodies” are mixed tumours, including a non-meningotheliomatous component, the origin and significance of which is uncertain.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of the areolae in the porcine placenta is described. The areolae occur on day 30 of pregnancy as a dome-shaped formation over the openings of the uterine glands. The lumen of the areolae is filled with the secretions of the uterine glands, the so-called histiotroph. The areolae lining epithelium is high collumnar, possesing long microvilli, a well-developed apical tubular system and numerous coated vesicles. This indicates that the epithelium has a high absorptive capacity. Our histochemical investigations reveal a high content of glycoproteins within the areolar lumen. The importance of one of the glycoprotein components of the histiotroph, uteroferrin, is discussed in connection with iron transfer from mother to the fetus.

    Notizen: Summary Unilateral decidualization was induced in uteri of ovariectomized hormone-injected prepubertal and young adult rats. The antimesometrial luminal epithelia of both the decidualized and contralateral hormone-primed (non-decidual) control uteri were examined and compared by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Epithelial cells of control uteri were columnar and they had many short microvilli on their luminal surfaces. Nuclei of these cells were round or oval and euchromatic, and other organelles were intact. In decidualized uteri luminal epithelial cells were flat and attenuated, were of greater average widths and possessed fewer microvilli. Some evidence of the degenerative changes which normally follow maximal decidual development in this region of the uterus could be seen within the flattened epithelial cells. The degenerative alterations were nuclear and cytoplasmic. Increase in lipid was observed in epithelial cells of decidualized uteri. This accumulation of intracellular lipid probably resulted from ingestion by the epithelial cells of intraluminally injected sesame oil, according to the protocol for stimulating decidualization.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructure of the ventrobasal complex (VB) of the cat thalamus was investigated in order to compare the data with those obtained in other thalamic nuclei. New data are described regarding the identification of Golgi II type neurons and several forms of axo-somatic synapses. By means of a quantitative analysis the number of different profiles, distribution of interprofile contacts, synaptic densities and degree of synaptic input of the two main cell-types were defined. The quantitative data obtained in the VB complex were compared with values for the lateral geniculate body (CGL), nucleus anterior ventralis (AV-non-sensory relay thalamic nucleus) and nucleus lateralis posterior-pulvinar complex (LP-PU-associative thalamic nucleus). The quantitative data reveal that: 1. The occurrence of RL terminals is equal in the two relay nuclei (VB and AV) and three-fold higher than in the LP-PU. 2. The percentage ratio of specific terminals (RL) in the total surface area in the relay nuclei is three-fold higher than in the LP-PU. 3. The RL→D synapses are twice as numerous in the relay nuclei as in the associative nucleus. 4. The density of synaptic RS profiles in VB is half of that found in LP-Pu. 5. In the thalamic relay nuclei the number of synaptic contacts on Golgi II type neurons is one-third of the synaptic supply of relay neurons; in the LP-Pu the amount of synaptic contacts on Golgi II type neuron approaches the synaptic supply of projective neurons.

    Notizen: Summary The differentiation of skeletal muscle was studied by electron microscopy in bovine fetuses from 47 days gestation to neonatal calves 3 days of age. Initally, the muscle was composed of clusters of myotubes with mononucleated myoblasts between them. In 2-month-old fetuses these myoblasts became apposed to the differentiating muscle cells and were enclosed within the rudimentary basal lamina of the myotubes. At this stage the clusters of myotubes consisted of central, larger diameter, more differentiated myotubes and also the mononucleated satellite cells. The differentiated myotubes separated from the clusters accompanied by satellite cells which continued proliferating and fused together to form new generations of satellite myotubes. In this manner new clusters of myotubes were formed. By 4–5 months some of the separating myotubes began to form individual myotubes and independent myofibers were prominent in fetuses of 5–8 months of age. The myofibers in the 8-month-old fetuses showed diversification into fiber types by differences in the thickness of the Z-line, the prominence of the sarcotubular system, the amount of glycogen and lipid droplets and also the number of mitochondria.

In areas with activated macrophages and epidermal cell interaction, Langerhans cells showed signs of enhanced cellular activity with an increased number of Langerhans cell granules, as in contact dermatitis. The fine structure of Langerhans cell granules, however, was unusual in that the vesicular portion was surrounded internally by a membrane, and this portion frequently occurred independently taking the shape of a loop.

Die Zentralgefäße haben die ultrastrukturellen Charakteristika kleiner Venulen und zeigen neben einem hohen Endothel große Mengen von Weibel-Palade-Körperchen. Abgesehen von sehr spärlichen marklosen Nervenfasern, die kleine Arteriolen begleiten, finden sich keine bedeutenderen nervalen Strukturen. Aufgrund der gravierenden ultrastrukturellen Unterschiede kann eine nähere Beziehung zwischen Angioleiomyom und Glomustumor ausgeschlossen werden.
    Notizen: Summary Electron-microscopic examination of a cutaneous angioleiomyoma demonstrated that the muscular coat enveloping the blood vessels is formed of typical smooth muscle cells. The central vessels exhibit the ultrastructural features of small venules with a prominent endothelium and large numbers of Weibel-Palade bodies. Except for scanty unmyelinated nerve fibers accompanying small arterioles, no significant nerval structures were encountered. In view of the evident ultrastructural differences, a relationship of angioleiomyoma and glomus tumor can be ruled out.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Plane Warzen in der frühesten klinischen Phase der spontanen Involution wurden elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, daß Makrophagen und Lymphocyten in die Epidermis einwandern und daß die Zahl der ersteren die der letzteren überschritt. Die Lymphocyten zeigten Pseudopodien an der Oberfläche und diese drangen zuweilen in die epidermischen Zellen ein. An der Berührungsfläche der Makrophagen und der epidermalen Zellen verschwanden häufig Membranen beider Zellen und gelegentlich wurde ein Teil des Cytoplasmas und auch des Nucleus der Makrophagen von den Zellen der Epidermis aufgenommen. Außerdem wurde ein davon unabhängiger partieller Verlust der Zellmembranen der Makrophagen beobachtet. Diese ultrastrukturellen Verhältnisse zeigen, daß in der spontan zurückgehenden planen Warze eine verringerte Stabilität der Makrophagenmembranen in Gegenwart von Lymphocyten sich entwickelt, wie sie in der durch BCG und anderen Ursachen zerstörten Tumorzelle beobachtet wird, und daß die spontane Involution ein Abstoßungs-Phänomen darstellen kann.
    Notizen: Summary Plane warts were examined at the earliest phase of spontaneous involution using an electron microscopy. Macrophages outnumbered lymphocytes in invading the epidermis. Lymphocytes exhibited pseudopods on the surface which occasionally reached into the epidermal cells. The cell membranes of both macrophages and epidermal cells frequently disappeared on the contacting surface and on occasion part of the cytoplasm and even the nucleus of macrophages invaded the epidermal cells. The macrophages showed an independent partial loss of their cell membranes with a subsequent outpour of their contents. This ultrastructural feature indicates that in spontaneously regressing plane warts the depressed membrane stability of macrophages as observed in BCG and other-induced tumor cell destruction also occurs in the presence of lymphocytes. Therefore, the spontaneous involution may represen a rejection phenomenon.

    Notizen: Abstract Electron microscopy of citrate-phosphatedextrose (CPD) buffered bank blood performed over 21 days shows that the normal architecture of erythrocytes, platelets and leucocytes disappears and that deformed organelles, leucocyte “ghosts”, cell fragments and microaggregates accumulate. Leucocytes and platelets emerge as the most sensitive indicators of blood deterioration showing profound morphological changes from the first day. Microaggregates which passed through a 20-μm high capacity transfusion filter were identified as platelet conglomerates, leucocyte “ghost” and platelet-leucocyte “ghost” coaggregates with diameters of 6–20, 20–30 and 30–40 μm respectively. of these aggregates present in the filtrate, 62% fell into the size range of 20–40 μm. The composition of microaggregates varies with storage time, the platelet conglomerates appear first during or after Day 1, leucocyte “ghosts” after Day 5 followed by platelet-leucocyte “ghost” coaggregate formation. At this stage the number of intact leucocytes and platelets is reduced and the filtrate shows an abundance of leucocyte debris. Microfiltration would thus appear to reduce but not eliminate the danger of microembolism and damage to capillary endothelium.

    Notizen: Summary 0.2 to 0.4 mm thick slices of guinea pig hippocampus were studied morphologically after varying periods of incubation at 36 ° C in Krebs-Ringer solution. Prior to fixation, the slices were tested for the presence of synaptically driven discharges of CA 3 neurons following mossy fiber (mf) stimulation because tissue preservation was satisfactory only in slices in which electrical responses were obtained. The fine structure of the mf layer in slices was compared with the ultrastructure of this region in hippocampal tissue fixed by transcardial perfusion or immersion of the tissue in the fixative. In the central part of the slices many intact neuronal structures of the mf layer could be seen even after 4 h of incubation. In the outer parts of the slices, neurons were swollen and vacuolated. These alterations were not observed in hippocampal tissue fixed by transcardial perfusion or by immersion. In all parts of the slices dark neurons and processes were found. Since dark neurons were also numerous in tissue blocks immersed in the fixative but were rare in perfused material, these changes were obviously caused by damage to unfixed tissue and fixation by immersion.

    Notizen: Summary The origin of the synaptic boutons in the abducens nucleus was studied following lesions of the contralateral medial vestibular nucleus, the ipsilateral paramedian pontine reticular formation and the contralateral dorsomedial part of the reticular formation caudal to the abducens nucleus. Lesions in the rostral part of the contralateral medial vestibular nucleus resulted in degeneration of boutons located mainly on dendritic processes. On the other hand, lesions in both ipsilateral and contralateral reticular formations provoked degenerating terminals on the somata of the abducens neurones and on proximal dendrites in the abducens nucleus beneath the genu of the facial nerve.

    Notizen: Summary Adult New Zealand rabbits were injected intrathecally with 200 or 300 mgI/ml of metrizamide, meglumine iocarmate or meglumine iothalamate. They were placed in the Trendelenburg position for 20 min and allowed to survive for 1, 2 or 3 weeks. Sacrifice was by intraarterial perfusion of aldehydes under anesthesia followed by preparation of brain and major venous sinuses for light and electron microscopy. Major findings were subpial edema and inflammatory reaction of superficial brain, leptomeninges, subarachnoid space and arachnoid granulations. They were most severe after iothalamate and milder after metrizamide. The severity decreased with time. It is of significance that severe reactions occurred after 300 mg I/ml concentration of metrizamide.

    Notizen: Abstract Electron microscopical studies were carried out on the kidneys of rabbits given s.c. injections of 0 (control), 0.25 or 0.50 mg lead acetate/kg b.w. 3 times a week during 14 weeks. At the end of the experimental period the animals had lead blood levels of 60, 500 and 600 μg/1 whole blood respectively. Treatment-related renal changes were found in the proximal tubules; they consisted of a dose-related increase in the amount of lysosomes in epithelial cells of the convoluted part, and of severely damaged cells and loss of brush border in the straight part. There was also an increase in lysosomal tubular inclusions, which are considered characteristic of lysosomes of the proximal tubular cells of the rabbit kidney. The significance of these findings for assessing the risk of occupational exposure to lead is briefly discussed.

When paraffins were administered by i.p. injection liver weights increased inversely with the length of the carbon chain. The short carbon chain paraffins with a high degree of chlorination increased the concentration of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, inhibited the metabolism of 7-ethoxyresorufin but increased the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene, especially the formation of the 4,5-diol metabolite. Short carbon chain paraffins gave rise to a proliferation of the smooth ER, increased the number of cytoplasmic fat droplets as well as the number and size of mitochondria and peroxisomes and finally induced the occurrence of autophagosomes and lysosomes. The fat droplets were preferentially degraded in lysosomes. In all respects the long carbon chain paraffins were less biologically active.

    Notizen: Abstract Microcysts of the myxomycete Didymium iridis were induced to excyst by transfer to 5mM potassium phosphate buffer. After 1 h in suspension, 90% of the microcysts had germinated into myxamoebae distinguishable by phase contrast microscopy and staining with Lugol's iodine. Both pH and osmolarity affected the kinetics of excystment. The rate and extent of excystment were decreased by cycloheximide but remained unaffected by actinomycin D, suggesting a requirement for protein synthesis but not RNA synthesis. Initially, the outer wall layers separated from the inner layer, which gradually expanded and loosened. The protoplast rehydrated and reverted to a vegetative morphology. Excysting cells were characterized by nucleolar inclusions, changes in the nuclear envelope and plasma membrane, appearance of ringed cisternal elements and microbodies in the cytoplasm, and formation of a densely fibrous zone adjacent to the site of emergence. Excysting populations have been classified into characteristic stages: mature, initiated, swollen, and pre-emergent microcysts.

    Notizen: Abstract The effects of nitrogen limitation on the ultrastructure of the unicellular cyanobacterium, Agmenellum quadruplicatum, were studied by thin sectioning transmission electron microscopy. Nitrogen became limiting for growth 14–15 h after transfer to nitrogen-limiting medium, but cultures retained full viability for at least 45 h. The c-phycocyanin: chlorophyll a ratio and cellular nitrogen content of the culture dropped rapidly after 14–15 h, as a progressive deterioration of major cell structures took place. Phycobilisomes were degraded first, followed by ribosomes and, then, thylakoid membranes. These structures were virtually depleted from the cells within 26 h. Intracellular polysaccharide accumulated in place of the normal cell structures throughout this period. Nitrogen limitation did not affect polyphosphate bodies, carboxysomes, lipid granules, the cell envelope, or the extra-cellular glycocalyx. All of the ultrastructural changes resulting from nitrogen limitation were reversed upon addition of nitrate to a starved culture. Most cell structures were restored within 3 h, and restoration was complete within 9 h.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: Abstract A facultative methylotrophic bacterium was isolated from enrichment cultures containing methylamine as the sole carbon source. It was tentatively identified as an Arthrobacter species. Extracts of cells grown on methylamine or ethylamine contained high levels of amine oxidase (E.C. 1.4.3.) activity. Glucose- or choline-grown cells lacked this enzyme. Oxidation of primary amines by the enzyme resulted in the formation of H2O2; as a consequence high levels of catalase were present in methylamine-and ethylamine-grown cells. The significance of catalase in vivo was demonstrated by addition of 20 mM aminotriazole (a catalase inhibitor) to exponentially growing cells. This completely blocked growth on methylamine whereas growth on glucose was hardly affected. Cytochemical studies showed that methylamine-dependent H2O2 production mainly occurred on invaginations of the cytoplasmic membrane. Assimilation of formaldehyde which is generated during methylamine oxidation was by the FBP variant of the RuMP cycle of formaldehyde fixation. The absence of NAD-dependent formaldehyde and formate dehydrogenases indicated the operation of a non-linear oxidation sequence for formal-dehyde via hexulose phosphate synthase. Enzyme profiles of the organism grown on various substrates suggested that the synthesis of amine oxidase, catalase and the enzymes of the RuMP cycle is not under coordinate control.

    Notizen: Summary Fibroblastic reticulum cells of different lymphoid organs were investigated to clarify their relationship to other stationary cells of the lymphoid tissue and to fibroblasts of the connective tissue. Fibroblastic reticulum cells have many ultrastructural characteristics of fibroblasts but differ from them in containing prominent bundles of microfilaments and in reacting strongly with antibodies to smooth muscle type myosin and actin. The fibroblastic reticulum cell may be thus classified as a myofibroblast. Enzyme-histochemical studies showed that fibroblastic reticulum cells contain a definite alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme. During ontogeny fibroblastic and dendritic reticulum cells are derived from the local mesenchyme and may be considered as primary stationary reticulum cells. During the formation of the follicle in the splenic white pulp in young rats fibroblastic and dendritic reticulum cells show a different turnover which speaks in favor of a proliferation of dendritic reticulum cells or their precursors in follicle formation.

    Notizen: Summary Lymph nodes from patients with Hodgkin's disease of the nodular sclerosis or mixed cellularity type were examined by electron microscopy to classify all the cells that occur in these types of lymphoma. Most of the cells showed morphological features that were the same, or nearly the same as those of cells of normal lymphoid tissue. These included typical interdigitating reticulum cells (IDC), histiocytic reticulum cells, so-called dark reticulum cells, and sinus macrophages. There were also small and medium-sized lymphocytes, immunoblasts, plasma cells, and plasma cell precursors resembling those seen in non-specific lymphadenitis. Germinal center cells, on the other hand, were present in negligible numbers. Special attention was paid to Hodgkin's (H) and Sternberg-Reed (SR) cells. This group of cells proved to be heterogeneous. The only common features were a large cell size, large nuclei, and a prominent nucleolus. Some of the H and SR cells resembled immunoblasts of normal lymphoid tissue. The cytoplasm of these cells contained numerous polyribosomes, and their heterochromatin was coarsely condensed at the nuclear membrane. Other H and SR cells were more similar to histiocytic cells or reticulum cells because of the large number of cell organelles (e.g., lysosome-like granules) and diffuse heterochromatin. Finally, cases of the nodular sclerosis type of Hodgkin's disease showed another cell type with some resemblance to IDC. The cells of this type are called lacunar cells because of their special light-microscopic appearance.

    Notizen: Summary Case report of a patient with an unusual, rapidly growing bone tumor in the third and fourth cervical vertebrae. Histological and electron-microscopic investigations reveal a tumor composed of histiocytic cells, xanthomatous cells, giant cells of Touton type, and fibroblastic cells. No cellular features of malignancy are observed. From its cytologic appearance the tumor has to be classified as a benign fibrous histiocytoma. Regarding its ultrastructural features, the tumor may not be distinguished from non-ossifying fibroma of bone, but its clinical pattern shows obvious differences of localization and growth potential. The term “benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone” is proposed for these tumors which must be differentiated from non-ossifying fibroma.

    Notizen: Summary Light- and electron-microscopic investigations were performed in a case of cystic soap-bubble-like expansion of the shaft region of the second metatarsal bone. Morphologically, strongly cellular tissue with a closely packed net of osteoid trabeculae containing osteoblasts and a whorl-shaped spindle cell stroma with fibroblasts, fibrocytes, and irregularly scattered multinucleated giant cells of the osteoclast type were observed. After clinical and morphological exclusion of osteosarcoma, enchondroma, non-ossifying fibroma, osteoblastoma, osteoclastoma, and bone cysts the final diagnosis was giant-cell reaction of small tubular bone with unusual marked osteoid formation. As recurrences are possible, block resection appears more appropriate than curettage.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé Des prélèvements obtenus à partir de genoux humains arthrosiques et de genoux de chien porteurs de lésions arthrosiques expérimentales ont permis l'étude de la charpente de collagène du cartilage articulaire et de l'os sous-chondral, par microscopie conventionnelle et par microscopie électronique. Dans les lésions dégénératives, les fibrilles de collagène du cartilage ont une orientation radiale, alors qu'elles sont habituellement groupées en faisceaux. En cas de lésions étendues, le cartilage présente souvent des clivages ou des fissures menant jusqu'aux couches calcifiées. Les fibrilles de collagène du cartilage arthrosique se fondent dans la plaque osseuse souschondrale, rendant la jonction ostéo-cartilagineuse irrégulière ou mal définie. L'orientation trabéculaire de l'os sous-chondral se modifie en fonction de l'altération du cartilage articulaire. Ces modifications réactionnelles montrent que, même au niveau ultrastructural, l'architecture de l'os sous-chondral reflète la dégénérescence cartilagineuse.
    Notizen: Summary Specimens obtained from human osteoarthritic knee joints and dog knees with experimentally induced osteoarthritis were used to study the collagenous framework of articular cartilage and subchondral bone in relation to osteoarthritic changes using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. Degenerative articular cartilage in osteoarthritic joints showed radial orientation of the collagen fibrils, which were usually discernible as fibrillar bundle formations. Cartilage with extensive lesions often showed cleavages or fissures down to the calcified layer. The cartilagenous collagen fibrils in osteoarthritic specimens merged into the subchondral bone plate making the tidemark and the osteochondral junction irregular or obscure. The trabecular orientation of subchondral bone changed with alteration in the articular cartilage and with reactive changes in the subchondral bone, showing the effect of cartilaginous degeneration on its ultrastructure.

    Notizen: Summary Fourteen rat islet tumours induced by Streptozotocin and nicotinamide were examined by light microscopy with indirect immunoperoxidase staining and by electron microscopy. Most tumours consisted predominantly of B cells, but over a half of the tumours examined showed mixed cellularity with considerable numbers of A cells and small numbers of D or PP cells. Only 4 tumours consisted exclusively of B cells. There was no positive reaction for any kind of specific islet hormone antibodies in 2 tumours. Ultrastructurally, most tumours were composed of cells containing numerous secretory granules with B cell properties, with great variation in size, shape and number. We often encountered enterochromaffin-like cells or atypical granular cells or cells containing non-beta secretory granules. We could not identify, however, the ultrastructural counterparts of A or D cells. The results suggested that the multiplicity of the endocrine cells of rat islet cell tumours might be an expression of the cellular dedifferentiation of tumour cells which could re-differentiate into the whole range of components of the endocrine pancreas.

    Notizen: Summary Three cases of tuberous sclerosis in neonates were found to have focal, frequently perivascular, collections of large cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. These cells resembled those found in brain lesions of tuberous sclerosis but did not stain for acidic protein. Ultrastructurally, they were characterized by many membrane bound cytoplasmic bodies, 90 to 270 nm in diameter, with amorphous contents. Filaments were not demonstrated. Their appearance is considered most consistent with histiocytic origin. Large cells with a histiocytic appearance and a superficial resemblance to those seen in the brain in tuberous sclerosis, but a different ultrastructure and reaction to GFAP staining, may be found in the spleen of neonates with this disease.

    Notizen: Summary Electron microscopic examination of three adamantinomas of long bones revealed structures usually observed in both mesenchymal and epithelial tumours. Tumour cells showing high alkaline phosphatase activity frequently tended to line clefts in connective tissue, resembling endothelial cells. The long processes of such cells showed fenestration. In areas showing fibre production the tumour cells were in close relationship to collagen fibrils. The latter were found, together with microfibrils, between the processes and above the basement membranes. The tumour cells were interconnected by desmosomes with tonofilaments and contained numerous bundles of microfilaments. All three cases revealed tiny intracytoplasmic inclusions resembling Weibel-Palade endothelial bodies. In addition, some of the structures in the lumena contained definite acid mucosubstances. A squamous cell pattern was present in only one of the three specimens. The coincidence of divergent structures in a single specimen has led us to the conclusion that the so-called adamantinoma of long bone might be possibly related to tumours of mesodermal or mesectodermal origin.

    Notizen: Summary In the pineal gland of the pipistrelle bat two different populations of pinealocytes and glial cells were observed electron microscopically. The pinealocytes of populations I and II differ in their content of metabolically active cell organelles. In the pinealocytes of population I, granular vesicles originating from the Golgi apparatus were found in the perikaryon and especially in the endings of the pinealocyte processes. Granular vesicles appeared to be more numerous in hibernating nulliparous females. The pinealocytes of population II are characterized by the presence of small cytoplasmic vacuoles, probably originating from cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum and containing flocculent material of moderate electron density. The classification of the pinealocytes belonging to population II is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary The morphology of the compound eye of the noctuid moth Spodoptera exempta was investigated by electron microscopy. This eucone superposition eye is composed of about 8000 ommatidia. Each ommatidium is surrounded by six secondary pigment cells showing pigment movement according to the state of adaptation. It contains four crystalline cone cells forming together a crystalline cone and tract, two primary pigment cells, which encompass the crystalline cone, and usually eight retinula cells. On the basis of their rhabdomeric structure, three types of retinula cells can be distinguished. According to the structure of the rhabdom, two types of ommatidia are found in different regions of the eye. The rhabdom of the lobed type, providing more than 80% of ommatidia, is composed of V-shaped rhabdomeres with fanwise arranged microvilli. The rhabdom of the square type, found in a small area in the dorsal region of the eye, consists of triangular rhabdomeres with parallel microvilli. The functional significance of this difference is discussed.

    Notizen: Summary The ampullae of Molgula occidentalis are hollow, tubular extensions of the epidermis. They are ensheathed by a secreted tunic. When they grow out shortly after settlement, the ampullae spread the tunic over the substratum to form a firm attachment for the sessile juvenile. A simple squamous epithelium forms the thin ampullar walls. A glandular, simple columnar epithelium forms the distal tip of each ampulla. The glandular cells probably secrete the adhesive that attaches the tunic to the substratum. Repetitive, peristaltic contractions pass from the base to the distal end of each ampulla. Microsurgery, time-lapse cinemicrography and TEM have been used to analyze this phenomenon. The contractions are mediated by a layer of 4–8 nm microfilaments in the base of the ampullar epithelium. Each juvenile has 7–9 ampullae which contract at different frequencies. Isolated ampullae continue to contract normally for several days. Thus each ampulla has an intrinsic rhythm. Microsurgical experiments suggest that there is no specific region within an ampulla with unique pacemaker properties. It is proposed that communication via gap junctions allows the coordination of ampullar cells into a well organized peristaltic wave.

    Notizen: Summary Ultrastructural and cytochemical studies have been made on secretory granules of B-cells (fibroblast-like cells) in the knee-joint synovium. The secretory granules were membrane-bounded spherical or slightly elongated bodies, 150 to 350 nm (average 230 nm) in diameter and had a homogenous matrix with several cores. These granules were found in B-cells of all animal species examined; they were numerous in mice and rats, and few in guinea pigs, rabbits and man. Ultrastructural and cytochemical examinations revealed that the Golgi apparatus was involved in the formation of the secretory granules. Unlike lysosomes, they showed no acid phosphatase activity. The granule matrix was positively stained by Thiéiy's periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazidesilver proteinate technique, and the cores were digested by protease. These findings suggest that the granule matrix contains mucopolysaccharide(s) and/or glycoprotein(s) and the core material is largely proteinaceous in nature.

    Notizen: Summary To determine how neural influences control the function of the pineal gland, morphological and biochemical relationships after pharmacological treatment have been studied in rat pineal cells in monolayer cultures. Norepinephrine (NE) and dibutyryl cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (dBcAMP) treatment of cells that had been in culture for 5 and 21 days produced a stimulation in the enzyme activity of serotonin N-acetyl transferase, an enzyme important in indole synthesis. NE and dBcAMP also produced morphological changes which were dependent on the time of cells in culture. When 5 day-cultures were treated with NE and dBcAMP, light and dark cells were noted and endoplasmic reticulum increased and became more organized. Only dBcAMP treatment at 5 days produced an increase in dense granules and an elongation of cytoplasmic processes. Treatment of 21 day-cultures with dBcAMP also produced an increase in cytoplasmic processes while treatment with NE produced an increase in the synaptic ribbons and clear vesicles within the processes.

    Notizen: Summary The effects of Nitromifene citrate (CI 628), an antiestrogen, and Flutamide, an antiandrogen, on the ultrastructure and viability of the preovulatory follicle and granulosa cells were examined both in vivo and in vitro. In vivo administration of either antihormone induced degeneration within the granulosa cells. In some of the affected granulosa cells, the nuclear material was condensed while the cytoplasm and associated organelles were unaltered. In others, the density of the cytoplasm was reduced, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum was dilated but the nucleus remained unaltered. In vitro, either antihormone reduced granulosa-cell viability but the granulosa cells were twenty times more sensitive to CI 628 than to Flutamide. In addition, exposure to CI 628 induced nuclear condensation without affecting the cytoplasm, while Flutamide induced the deterioration of the cytoplasm without altering the nucleus. These observations suggest that: (1) both estrogen and androgens control the viability of the granulosa cells and thereby the follicle, (2) the action of estrogen and androgen is mediated through receptors within the granulosa cells since these antihormones prevent the nuclear uptake of their respective hormone, (3) the granulosa cells of preovulatory follicles appear to be more dependent on estrogen than on androgen, and (4) each steroid appears to have a specific role in maintaining the granulosa cell; estrogens control the integrity of the nucleus while androgens preserve the cytoplasmic organization of the granulosa cell.

    Notizen: Summary Vascular smooth muscle cells were taken from the aortae of the WKY (normotensive) and SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) strains of rat by enzymatic dispersion and put into reaggregate culture. Initially the cells became individual spheroids having average diameters of 10 μm and surfaces that were either rough or smooth. The cells were far more complex than they appeared on their surfaces; after one day in culture, there was considerable internal variation in these cells. All the cells, whether WKY or SHR, lost the bulk of their cytoplasmic contents (including myofilaments, many mitochondria, and vesicular structures) in the early stages of culture and eventually became flattened. After 14 days in culture, these modified cells collected to form reaggregates that were commonly roughly spherical and several hundred μm in diameter. These reaggregates consisted of peripheral regions made up of several layers of flattened cells overlying cores formed by glia-like networks of cells similar in cytological appearance to the cells at the periphery. The meshes formed in this way contained cellular debris derived from dead cells or extrusion of cellular contents. It appears that SHR cells are quicker to form reaggregates than are WKY cells. Yet the SHR cells retained a rounded conformation after five days, whereas the WKY cells were more flattened and formed a more discrete aggregate at this stage of culture. However, by the fourteenth day of culture, differences between the two cell strains were not so pronounced, as far as could be judged by observations made with scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Both WKY and SHR cells at 14 days appeared highly secretory, possessing large Golgi systems as well as numerous ER cisternae and mitochondria. SHR cells produced greater amounts of connective tissue at all stages of culture than did WKY cells, indicating that a similar difference may contribute to the hypertension which develops naturally in situ in SHR animals.

    Notizen: Summary The ultrastructural characterization of electrophysiologically identified neurones of the rat paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus was performed with extracellular labelling technique. The extracellularly recorded neurones are labelled with an electrophoretic deposit of alcian blue contained in the recording micropipette. The neurone thus labelled takes on a dark and shrunken appearance which enables its detection among neighbouring cells without, however, concealing its main morphological characteristics. 1) Spontaneously firing neurones, invaded by an antidromic action potential elicited by electrical stimulation of the neurohypophysis, were identified as magnocellular cells containing dense-cored vesicles of 200–250 nm in diameter. Dense-cored vesicles were not found in the antidromically activated neurones devoid of spontaneous activity. 2) Trans-synaptically activated neurones in the PVN or in its dorso-lateral edge were small cells devoid of dense secretory vesicles. 3) PV neurones in which neurohypophysial stimulation evoked no response, contained small, dense vesicles (100 nm in diameter) comparable with those found in parvocellular peptidergic neurones.

    Notizen: Summary The fine structure of the cornea in an anatomically and functionally specialized part of the honey bee's compound eye (dorsal rim area) was examined by light microscopy, transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy. Under incident illumination the cornea appears grey and cloudy, leaving only the centers of the corneal lenses clear. This is due to numerous pore canals that penetrate the cornea from the inside, ending a few μm below the outer surface. They consist of (1) a small cylindrical cellular evagination of a pigment cell (proximal), and (2) a rugged-walled, pinetree-shaped extracellular part (distal). The functional significance of these pore canals is discussed. It is concluded that their light scattering properties cause the wide visual fields of the photoreceptor cells measured electrophysiologically in the dorsal rim area, and that this is related to the way this eye region detects polarization in skylight.

    Notizen: Summary The sensillum capitulum, a hygro- and thermoreceptive sensillum of the cockroach Periplaneta americana L. is comprised of four receptor cells, one glial cell, two gland cells and four enveloping cells. Each receptor cell sends a single axon to the CNS, and has a single dendrite which extends distally. The perikarya of three receptor cells are enclosed by one of the enveloping cells (number one) and the fourth by a gland cell. The dendrites of all four receptor cells are enclosed by the same enveloping cell. The dendrites contain rootlets and many microtubules. The sensory cilia arise at the end of the dendrites at the level of the inner cavity, expand from the connecting cilium in a manner similar to those of the amphinematic scolopidia, and have numerous microtubules. The 1st enveloping cell contains scolopale rod-like structures. The sensory cilia are surrounded distally by a cuticular sheath formed within the 1st enveloping cell. One of the sensory cilia disappears distally, and the remaining ones enter the sensillum cone. Of these, one branches and the other two do not. The distal ends of the unbranched cilia are differentiated into tubular structures. The sensillum cone is comprised of an inner stem and a guard wall, neither of which is perforated. The outer cavity is enclosed by the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th enveloping cells, and distally in the antenna is closely apposed to the cuticular wall. This cavity contains lipid deposits. These structural features are discussed with regard to the mechanism of hygroreception in P. americana.

    Notizen: Summary Quantitative macroscopic, light-microscopic and electron-microscopic studies were performed on the small intestine of fasted and non-fasted adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats. In non-fasted rats the small intestine was longer than in fasted rats. Due to the presence of villi the surface area in the duodenum and the jejunum was enlarged about six times. The microvilli on the villous crests caused a surface enlargement by 13 times in the duodenum (value corrected for overestimation due to section thickness), and 19 times in the jejunum of the fasted rats. At the base of the villi these values were about 50% lower. It was calculated that, in the fasted rats, the total enlargement of the luminal surface area — due to villi and microvilli — was 63 times in the duodenum and 81 times in the jejunum (corrected for section thickness). Differences between the villous crest epithelium and the villous base epithelium were also found with regard to the mean cell height, and the volume densities of the absorptive cell nuclei, the mitochondria, and the paracellular channels.

    Notizen: Summary Pre-meiotic and prophase I ovules ofCapsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medic.(monosporic,Polygonum type of gametophyte development) were fixed routinely or incubated in a modified Gomori medium containing β-glycerophosphate as a substrate. Prior to the beginning of meiosis the potential meiocyte is ultrastructurally similar to the other cells of the nucellus and is distinguished only by its size and position. At the initiation of prophase I dramatic ultrastructural and ultracytochemical changes take place in the female meiocyte. These include the sudden appearance of cytoplasmic structures composed of single and multiple concentric cisternae, distinctive changes in plastids and mitochondria, and the blebbing of 0.3 μm double-membraned vesicles from the nuclear envelope. The concentric cisternae encapsulate portions of cytoplasm containing ribosomes, plastids, mitochondria, ER fragments and vesicles. Both single and multiple concentric cisternae localize high levels of acid phosphatase and function as autophagic vesicles (AVs) that sequester ribosomes and organelles for destruction during meiosis. Plastids stop dividing and become more spherical during prophase I. Some plastids localize acid phosphatase and many show continuities between the outer membrane and the plastid envelope and acid phosphatase-rich RER cisternae. Mitochondria appear as dense, contracted spheres or rods. Some mitochondria localize acid phosphatase but they do not show membrane confluencies with the ER. Some of the plastids and mitochondria that are segregated into the functional megaspore at meiosis II are destroyed but others apparantly survive meiosis and give rise to the plastid and mitochondrial populations of the young gametophyte (Schulz andJensen, unpublished). The lateral and end walls of the meiocyte show patches of intense aniline blue fluorescence and the chalazal end wall of the cell is perforated with large numbers of plasmodesmata.

    Notizen: Summary Male gametes ofPlumbago zeylanica were examined in pollen grains and tubes using light and electron microscopy of chemically and physically fixed tissues, and Nomarski interference microscopy of isolated, living sperm cells. Male gametes are elongate, spindleshaped cells containing a nucleus, mitochondria, ER, ribosomes, vesicles, dictyosomes, probable microfilaments, and a variable number of plastids. In mature pollen grains ofP. zeylanica, the two sperm cells are directly linked; they share a transverse cell wall with plasmodesmata and are enclosed together by the inner vegetative cell plasma membrane. One of these two sperms is also associated with the vegetative nucleus as a consistent feature of pollen grain organization. The basis of this association appears to be a long, narrow projection of the sperm cell (averaging 〈 1 μm wide and about 30 μm long) which wraps around the periphery of the vegetative nucleus and occupies embayments of that nucleus. This association is maintained throughout pollen tube growth but becomes less extensive near the completion of tube growth and is severed following tube discharge. The consistent occurrence of the sperm-vegetative nucleus association in pollen grains, tubes and isolated pollen cytoplasm suggests that the two structures may be directly connected, but attempts to visualize this type of connection were unsuccessful. Possibly, the entwining nature and extent of complementary interfaces between vegetative nucleus and sperm may have a role in stabilizing their association. Functionally, the two sperms and vegetative nucleus appear to travel as a linked unit within the pollen tube, possibly increasing the effectiveness of gamete delivery and helping to ensure nearly simultaneous transmission of sperms into the receptive megagametophyte.

    Notizen: Summary Leaf blades of 42 grasses (Poaceae) have been examined ultrastructurally for the occurrence of a suberized lamella in walls of parenchymatous bundle sheaths and PCR (= “Kranz”) sheaths in both large and small vascular bundles. The sample includes species from a range of major grass taxa, and represents all photosynthetic types found in the grasses. Three grasses with unusual C4 leaf anatomy were also included:Alloteropsis semialata, Aristida biglandulosa, Arundinella nepalensis. The presence of a suberized lamella in PCR cell walls was perfectly correlated with photosynthetic type. All PEP-carboxykinase type and NADP-malic enzyme type C4 species examined possessed a suberized lamella in outer tangential and radial walls, but with variable presence in inner tangential walls. PCR cells of bothAlloteropsis semialata andArundinella nepalensis also possessed a suberized lamella. A lamella was totally absent from parenchymatous bundle sheath cells of the C3 species examined (5 spp.) and ofPanicum milioides, a C3-C4 intermediate. It was also absent from PCR cells of NAD-malic enzyme type C4 species (14 spp.) andAristida biglandulosa. The results are discussed in relation to the leakage of CO2 from PCR cells, and to differences between C4 types in δ13C values, chloroplast position in PCR cells, and other anatomical characteristics.

    Notizen: Summary Mitosis in the marine red algaDasya baillouviana (Ceramiales, Florideophyceae) was observed with the electron microscope. Most details of the process are quite similar to those observed in the other macroscopic red algae studied to date. However, some minor variations were noted. At late prophase a very small nuclear envelope protrusion (NEP) is formed at each division pole subjacent to the “nucleus associated organelle” known as the polar ring (PR) and 2–3 cisternae of perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum (PER) are commonly present during metaphase-anaphase. In contrast, in the other florideophycean algae where mitosis has been reported, a prominent NEP is present at late prophase (McDonald personal communication,Scott et al. 1980) and only a single cisterna of PER is observed. Additionally, during mid-late interphase and in mitotically-quiescent cells ofDasya, a single cisterna of smooth-surfaced ER is always juxtaposed with each PR. The possible significance of PER in theFlorideophyceae and other multinucleate organisms is discussed as well as the likely functions of spindle-associated smooth ER. It is suggested that ultrastructural features of mitosis should be useful as criteria to aid in the interpretation of the phylogeny of red algae.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary In a histochemical and ultrastructural study the pathogenesis of cholesteatoma ostitis is analysed on human tissue. In the subepithelial layer there is evidence of an inflammatory reaction leading to proliferation of granulation tissue with bony invasion. Bony destruction is initiated by osteocytic osteolysis. In the case of cholesteatoma there is a combined action of extraosseous and osseous lysosomal enzymes. The pathological changes of the fibrillar elements suggest that the self-perpetuation of degeneration is maintained by a disturbance of fibrillogenesis. The causal pathogenesis of cholesteatoma formation is discussed as a function of a disturbance between cellular activity, extracellular matrix, and cellular surface.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung In einer histochemischen und ultrastrukturellen Untersuchung wird die Pathogenese des Cholesteatoms analysiert. Charakteristikum des subepithelialen Gewebes ist die Ausbildung einer entzündlichen Reaktion mit anschließender Formation eines in den Knochen proliferierenden Granulationsgewebes. Der Knochenabbau wird durch osteozytäre Osteolyse eingeleitet. Dadurch kommt es bei der Erkrankung zu einem Zusammenwirken ossär lysosomaler und extraossär lysosomaler Enzyme. Die pathologischen Befunde im Bereich der Faserelemente deuten an, daß der Selbsterhaltungsprozeß der degenerativen Veränderungen durch eine Störung der Fibrillogenese verstärkt wird. Die kausale Genese des Cholesteatoms wird unter Berücksichtigung der gestörten Interaktion zwischen Zellaktivität, Extrazellularmatrix und Zelloberfläche diskutiert.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary Biopsy material from the vocal muscle of patients suffering from Steinert's muscular dystrophy, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, oculopharyngeal progressive muscular dystrophy, and paraneoplastic myopathy was examined under the light and electron microscope. The histological findings were compatible with the muscular changes seen in the skeletal muscles of the extremities of the same patients. Slight differences in the severity of the pathologic process were noticed in correlation with the muscles of the extremities which were always more seriously affected than the vocal muscles. The ultrastructural study revealed a moderate to very porminent dilatation of the sarcotubular system, involving the T-tubules and the cisternae of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum as well. From the clinical point of view, the vocal muscle biopsy was beneficial to the patients suffering from Steinert's myotonic muscular dystrophy, whereas it did not affect the clinical condition of the others.

Die histologischen Befunde sind mit den Veränderungen vergleichbar, die auch an der Skelettmuskulatur derselben Patienten gefunden wurde. Die feingewebliche Untersuchung zeigte eine mäßige bis stärkere Erweiterung des sarcotubulären Systems mit Befall der Tubuli und der Cysternen des endoplasmatischen Reticulums. Klinisch zeigte der Patient, der an einer Steinertschen Myodystrophie litt, nach der Biopsie eine Besserung der Stimme.

    Notizen: The IR data for the R1 CO-O-CHR2-CO-NHR3 derivatives are interpreted in terms of a H…π interaction involving the N—H bond and the π orbitals of the ester function and giving rise to a high ν(C=O) frequency and a low ν frequency. The resulting molecular conformation corresponds to the angular values φ # -90°, ψ # 0°. The H…π interaction in MeCO-L-Lac-NHMe is highly destabilized by water and aprotic solvents but is retained in methanol. Considering the high ν(C=O) ester or amide frequency of the middle function in β-folded depsipeptide or peptide sequences, it may be supposed that the residue indexed i + 2 in β turns experiences a H…π interaction which has a stabilizing effect on β turns. Some examples concerning valinomycin and some model compounds are discussed.

    Notizen: The difference between the theories of Manning, on the one hand, and of Odijk and Skolnick and Fixman, on the other, for the polyelectrolyte contribution to the persistence length of DNA is shown to arise entirely from a subtle geometrical error in the theory of Manning. The corrected theory of Manning predicts a negligible polyelectrolyte contribution in 1.0M NaCl and only 33 Å in 0.01M NaCl, thus giving a change in total persistence length by a factor of only 1.07 over that range, in agreement with Odijk. Pertinent data in the literature indicate that the persistence length must change by a factor of ≤ 1.6 between 1.0 and 0.01M NaCl, and very likely by less than a factor of 1.4. Evidently, the intrinsic rigidity of the uncharged double-strand filament dominates the bending rigidity at NaCl concentrations above 0.01M.

    Notizen: The crystal structures of L-3,4-dehydroproline, t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, and acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide have been determined. L-3,4-Dehydroproline is orthorhombic with a = 16.756, b = 5.870, c = 5.275 Å, and Z = 4; t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide is orthorhombic with a = 6.448, b = 8.602, c = 21.710 Å, and Z = 4; acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide is monoclinic with a = 4.788, b = 10.880, c = 7.785 Å, β = 105.25°, and Z = 2. The final R value for the L-3,4-dehydroproline is 0.046 based on 529 reflections; for t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, 0.050 based on 792 reflections; and for acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, 0.058 based on 632 reflections. The structures clearly establish that the free amino acid exists in the zwitterionic form in the crystalline state. The molecular conformations of the t-Boc and acetyl derivatives consist of two planes: one involving the primary amide and the other the remaining atoms of the molecule. The acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide contains a tertiary amide bond in the cis conformation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a cis bond in an acetyl derivative of an amino acid or peptide. At variance with the previously reported proline amides, which present φ and ψ values corresponding to those of a right-handed α-helical conformation (conformation A), the t-Boc and acetyl derivatives both have φ and ψ values corresponding to a collagenlike conformation (conformation F).

    Notizen: The structure of thermally denatured Type I collagen has been studied using laser light scattering. The results indicate that the diffusion coefficients of α-chains and β- and γ-components are 1.550 ± 0.08 × 10-7, 1.000 ± 0.05 × 10-7, and 0.835 ± 0.04 × 10-7 cm2/sec, respectively, at temperatures between 20 and 40°C. It is concluded from diffusion data that these species have hydrodynamic radii of about 13.8 nm (α-chain), 21.5 nm (β-component), and 25.7 nm (γ-component), consistent with previous studies of thermal denaturation by light scattering. It is also concluded, based on volume calculations, that a large volume increase occurs when the triple helix unfolds. Homodyne correlation functions for two component mixtures of α-chains and β-and γ-components appeared to decay exponentially. In all but one case discussed the correlation function could be fitted with a single component having a translational diffusion coefficient which was an intensity weighted average of the diffusion coefficient of each component present.

    Notizen: Circular dichroic spectra and oscillator strengths of the π-π transition near 190 nm are calculated for helical (Gly)6 and (Ala)6 at 30° intervals of the backbone torsion angles (φ,ψ) over the range -180° ≤ φ ≤ -60°, -60° ≤ ψ ≤ 180°, using the partially dispersive normal mode treatment of the dipole interaction model. Polarizabilities of atoms and the NC′O group are those determined semiempirically in previous studies. Calculations for (Ala)6 at (φ,ψ) angles corresponding to the α-helix, the poly(Pro) II helix, a collagen single helix, a poly-(MeAla) helix, and single β-helices are found to agree well with most of the available experimental data.

    Notizen: The interaction of the fluorinated antimalarial drug fluoroquine [7-fluoro-4-(diethyl-amino-1-methylbutylamino)quinoline] with DNA, tRNA, and poly(A) has been investigated by optical absorption, fluorescence, and 19F-nmr chemical-shift and relaxation methods. Optical absorption and fluorescence experiments indicate that fluoroquine binds to nucleic acids in a similar manner to that of its well-known analog chloroquine. At low drug-to-base pair ratios, binding of both drugs appears to be random. Fluoroquine and chloroquine also elevate the melting temperature (Tm) of DNA to a comparable extent. Binding of fluoroquine to DNA, tRNA, or poly(A) results in a downfield shift of about 1.5 ppm for the 19F-nmr resonance. The chemical shift of free fluoroquine depends on the isotopic composition of the solvent (D2O vs H2O). The solvent isotope shift is virtually eliminated by fluoroquine binding to any one of the nucleic acids. 19F-nmr relaxation experiments were carried out to measure the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), 19F{1H} nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), off-resonance intensity ratio (R), off-resonance rotating-frame spin-lattice relaxation time (T1ρoff), and linewidth for fluoroquine in the nucleic acid complexes. By accounting for intramolecular proton-fluorine dipolar and chemical-shift anisotropy contributions to the fluorine relaxation, all of the relaxation parameters for the fluoroquine-DNA complex can be well described by a motional model incorporating long-range DNA bending on the order of a microsecond and an internal motion of the drug on the order of a nanosecond. Selective NOE experiments indicate that the fluorine in the drug is near the ribose protons in the RNA complexes, but not in the DNA complex. Details of the binding evidently differ for the two types of nucleic acids. This study provides the foundation for an investigation of fluoroquine in intact cells.

    Notizen: In carbonate buffer at pH 10.5, a transparent solution of poly(L-lysine HBr) was obtained up to fairly high concentration of 3 g/dl at room temperature. The hydrodynamic behavior of the solution has been studied by sedimentation analyses and viscosity measurements. A dimer form for high concentrations and a monomer form for low concentrations were inferred. The dimer and monomer forms were assigned to a β-structure and α-helix, respectively, based on the CD and optical rotary dispersion spectra. Using CD spectroscopy, a reversible transition between α-helix and β-structure was observed as a function of either poly(L-lysine HBr) concentration or temperature. An aggregated form which was assigned to the antiparallel pleated sheet appeared at 50°C on the basis of its ir spectrum.

    Notizen: Observations of induced circular dichroism (CD) bands in chloroform solution demonstrate the formation of specific, asymmetric complexes of the aromatic ligands 2-pyridone and 2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid with cyclic dipeptides of the general formula cyclo(L-Pro-X). The induced CD changes sign with the configuration of X due to subtle influences of the side chain on the geometry of the complex. Computations of interaction energies suggest that a plausible model for the complex of an aromatic ligand with the -CONH- of the cis secondary amide is a nearly planar arrangement of six heavy atoms in a ring containing two hydrogen bonds. The observed CD is matched by that computed for a tilt of the aromatic ligand toward the side chain of X. Binding constants were determined from the induced CD as a function of ligand concentration. For dichlorobenzoic acid these are about 450m-1 for the secondary amide and 50m-1 for the tertiary amide. For pyridone the binding constant is about 45m-1 for either the secondary or tertiary amide. For comparison self-dimerization constants determined by vapor-pressure osmometry in chloroform solution at 25°C are 870, 350, 50, and 20m-1 for pyridone, benzoic acid, dichlorobenzoic acid, and cyclo(L-Pro-Gly), respectively.

    Notizen: Proton and phosphorus nmr have been used to investigate the double-helical structures of polyriboadenylic acid [poly(A)] formed in acidic solutions (pH 〈 6). The results obtained at low pH (∼4.5) are consistent with the model for the acid poly(A) double helix proposed by Rich [Rich, A., Davies, D. R., Crick, F. H. C. & Watson, J. D. (1961) J. Mol. Biol. 3, 71-86]. Other models that have been proposed are inconsistent with the nmr data. The nmr measurements have also been used to examine the conformation of poly(A) helix in the half-protonated state. Although the base-stacking arrangement of this state is similar to that observed in the more extensively protonated low-pH state, the phosphate backbone conformation is different from that found in either the neutral or low-pH structures.

    Notizen: We studied the effects of some organic cosolvents (monohydric alcohols and amides) on the reaction of hemoglobin with oxygen. We present evidence showing that our data can be analyzed within the framework of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model and that the main effect of cosolvents is to alter the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium of hemoglobin, without significantly affecting the intrinsic oxygen dissociation constants. Following a previously described phenomenological approach, the overall effects have been separated into effects related to the variation of the bulk dielectric constant of the solvent and effects not related to the variation of this constant.

    Notizen: The spectroscopic properties (uv, CD, nmr) of histidine, glycylhistidine, histidylglycine, glycylhistidylglycine have been investigated in water and methanol in the temperature range 200-320 K in order to obtain information about their conformational equilibria. This analysis has been carried out for the different ionic forms of the compounds, in order to evaluate the influence of the ionization state of the carboxyl, histidyl, and amino groups on the rotamer distribution of the histidyl side chain (as evaluated from proton nmr analysis) and on the overall molecule (as judged from CD spectra). On the basis of certain approximations and from the temperature dependence of the proton nmr resonance, the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH° and ΔS°) characterizing the conformational equilibrium of the hystidyl side chain have been evaluated for the different structures and ionization states. Relatively large entropy differences between the rotamers are obtained in some cases. The data of the sidechain rotamer population, as determined by nmr, have been analytically correlated with the CD data, and in the case of hystidine and histidylglycine in basic solution, first-approximation values for the ellipticity of the single conformers have been evaluated. Finally, in the example of glycylhistidine and histidylglycine in basic solution, it is shown how the data obtained from the different experimental approaches (nmr and CD), as well as from theoretical energy calculations, converge to characterize the most stable conformation in solution.

    Notizen: Photon-correlation spectroscopy is a powerful technique for measuring the translational diffusion coefficient of particles and macromolecules in solution. In the study described here, this technique was used to analyze a specific dimerization process involving the association of two tRNA molecules through complementary anticodons. The tRNAs used in the analysis were E. coli tRNA2Glu and yeast tRNAPhe. The experimental data on the concentration dependence of the observed diffusion constants are shown to agree well with theoretical predictions. From these data, the equilibrium constant of the association reaction was determined for dimers formed over a wide range of temperatures and in several different solution conditions. In solutions of 0.1M ionic strength at 22°C, the equilibrium constants vary from 1 × 105M-1 in the absence of magnesium to 1.5 × 106M-1 in 10 mM Mg+2. The enthalpy and entropy changes for dimer formation in the absence and presence, 5 and 10 mM, of magnesium have been obtained from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant. The results show that both ΔH and ΔS contribute to the free energy of binding and that their relative contributions are similar for each solution condition evaluated.

    Notizen: A conformational quantum-mechanical study of (Gly-Phe-Pro) and (Gly-Pro-Phe) repeating tripeptide sequences has been carried out with the PCILO method. Using appropriate molecules as a model, we investigated the conformational possibilities of each in situ residue. Computations have been done taking into account the two typical pyrrolidine ring puckering and the most favorable orientations of the phenylalanyl side chain. Major conclusions drawn from this study are that the phenylalanyl can be accommodated at both second and third positions in the sequence without preventing the formation of triple-helix conformation. However, the analogy observed between the rotational possibilities around the second residue of Gly-Pro-Pro and Gly-Phe-Pro indicates that phenylalanyl in the second position favors the triple-helix formation.

    Notizen: The structure of the nucleosome core particle in solution has been studied by neutron scattering using the full-contrast variation technique, which reduces the experimental spectra to three fundamental scatter functions holding information on shape and structure. Systematic calculations of the fundamental scatter functions expected from proposed core-particle models have been compared with the observed functions and show that the neutron-scattering criteria severely restrict the number of models which can be valid for the structure in solution. The best model for the core particle in solution has a hydrophobic histone core about which 1.7 ± 0.1 turns of DNA are wrapped at a pitch between 3.0 and 3.5 nm. This core contains most of the histone and has an average thickness of 4 nm and diameter 6.4-7.5 nm. While solution scattering is not able to specify uniquely the actual shape of the core to high resolution, all models which are possible for the shape of the core to a resolution justified by the data have been considered. It is clear that cylindrical or wedge shapes compatible with the above dimensions are valid structures. A hole probably penetrates the histone core, but the data do not allow a diameter greater than 1 nm. Available evidence suggests that about a quarter of the total histone is outside the core.

    Notizen: The relationship between published vicinal proton-proton coupling constants and the pseudorotation properties of the pyrrolidine ring in L-proline, 4-hydroxy-L-proline, 4-fluoro-L-proline, and several linear and cyclic model proline peptides is investigated. Compared to earlier studies, several important improvements are incorporated: (1) a new empirical generalization of the classical Karplus equation is utilized, which allows a valid correction for the effects of electronegativity and orientation of substitutents on 3JHH; (2) an empirical correlation between proton-proton torsion angles and the pseudorotational parameters P and τm is derived; and (3) the best fit of the conformational parameters to the experimental coupling constants is obtained by means of a computerized iterative least-squares procedure. Two pseudorotation ranges were considered, classified as type N (χ2 positive sign) and type S (χ2 negative sign). The conformational equilibrium is fully described in terms of four geometrical parameters (PN, τN, PS, τS) and the equilibrium constant K. The present results indicate that, in general, the geometrical properties found in x-ray studies of proline and hydroxyproline residues are well preserved in solution. Several novel features are encountered, however. It is demonstrated that the proline ring occurs in a practically 1:1 conformational equilibrium between well-defined N- and S-type forms. Introduction of an amide group at the C-terminal end has no observable effect on this equilibrium, but the formation of a peptide bond at the imino nitrogen site results in a pronounced, but not exclusive, preference for an S-type form which is roughly 1.1 kcal/mol more stable than its N-type counterpart. The hydroxyproline ring system in neutral or acidic medium displays a pure N-type state, but N-acetylation results in the appearance of a minor (S-type) conformation. Cyclic proline dipeptides similarly exist in a biased conformational equilibrium. The major form (77-88%) corresponds to the N-type conformer observed in the solid state; the minor S-form has not been observed before. In contrast, cyclic hydroxyproline dipeptides display complete conformational purity. Ranges of endocyclic torsion angles deduced for the various classes of pyrrolidine derivatives in solution are presented. Each torsion appears confined to a surprisingly narrow range, comprising about 4°-8° in most cases. In all, the proline ring is far less “floppy” than hitherto assumed.

    Notizen: Measurement of the equilibrium distribution of persistence length fragments of DNA in high concentration in the ultracentrifuge shows that the reduced osmotic pressure rises much faster than linearly. From analysis of the data in terms of the Zimm cluster integral we infer that the net interactions between helices are purely repulsive at all distances. A theoretical equation of state derived from scaled particle theory with one adjustable parameter is in excellent agreement with the experimental data so long as the salt concentration is not excessively low. The parameter represents the hard-core radius in a simplified approximation to the potential function for the electrostatic repulsion between helices. Its value depends on the salt concentration, and it shrinks at high salt to a radius in close agreement with direct structural estimates. At a particular value of the osmotic pressure that is only slightly salt dependent, the solution undergoes a reversible transition to a denser, turbid, optically anisotropic phase. The relation between DNA volume fraction, including the electrostatic radius, at the transition point and the effective asymmetry of the molecules as a function of salt is in approximate correspondence with various theoretical treatments. However, the experimental function extrapolates to the correct limit for spherical particles. The work needed to bring DNA to a high concentration is estimated. The results suggest that the phase transition is first order.

    Notizen: This report presents a quantitative test of the ability of the counterion condensation theory to describe the proton-induced lowering of DNA melting temperature. From a general approach of Record et al. [Record, M. T., Anderson, C. F. & Lohman, T. H. (1978) Q. Rev. Biophys. 11, 103-178], we have obtained an expression that may be computer-fitted to the experimental data by numerical minimization of χ2. To do this, in addition to the assumptions made by Record et al., it was necessary to suppose that the interchange between protons and sodium is independent of pH and, due to the absence of data, take the enthalpies of protonation as thermally independent over the experimental temperature range. The dependences of the enthalpy of denaturation at neutral pH on sodium concentration and on G + C content were taken from literature. In the fitting process we have used 250 melting temperatures obtained at different pH and sodium concentrations for various natural DNAs. The theoretical expression gives a good quantitative description of the G + C and sodium concentration influences on the phenomenon but is only qualitative with respect to the dependence of dT/d log[Na+] on the pH. The adjusted pK values for the bases in denatured DNA agree with those for isolated deoxynucleosides. Interchange between sodium and protons is found to be less than 1:1. Calculated protonation enthalpies are ill-defined because of their low numerical influence. In short, it appears that the theory gives a good description of most of the aspects of the phenomenon even if it has some shortcomings, perhaps due to the great number of assumptions.

    Notizen: We studied the kinetics of replacement of O2 by CO in hemoglobin in the presence and absence of organic cosolvents (methanol, ethanol, iso-propanol, n-propanol, formamide, acetamide, N-methyl-formamide) and at 10 and 25°C. Quantitative analysis of the results indicates that these cosolvents do not affect the intrinsic binding constants of ligands to the heme when hemoglobin is in the R conformation. The present results confirm the previously reported suggestion that the effects of the above cosolvents on the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin are related to effects on the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium.

    Notizen: Preparations have been made of acid-soluble collagens whose telopeptides have suffered different levels of proteolytic attack. The collagens with more intact telopeptides form fibrils more rapidly than those with degraded telopeptides. In addition, we have shown that a high molecular weight aggregate rich in the carboxyterminal CNBr peptide, α1CB6, can be found in cyanogen bromide digests of fibrils formed from intact collagen. A similar aggregate is found in CNBr digests of native tendons. The aggregate formed in fibrils assembled in vitro can be stabilized by reduction, and its generation is strongly dependent on the presence of intact telopeptides. The latter point is the most objective evidence that to reproduce the characteristics of native fibrils in vitro, the collagen telopeptides must be preserved from proteolysis.

    Notizen: We present an alternative to the common lattice model for nonspecific DNA-protein interactions by using ligands that translate freely along the polynucleotide instead of binding to distinct lattice sites along the polynucleotide chain. The general model we present corresponds to a one-dimensional continuum gas and is referred to as the “continuum model” to distinguish it from the general lattice model. Explicit expressions are obtained for the binding isotherm equation for two version of the continuum model, including the effects of binding-site exclusion and attractions between bound ligands. Theoretical results are compared to those obtained from the McGhee-von Hippel (1974) analysis of the lattice model with cooperative interactions between ligands occupying more than one lattice site. Practical applications of the continuum model are illustrated by analyzing (i) the noncooperative binding to single-stranded DNA by RNase (Jensen and von Hippel, 1976), and (ii) the highly cooperative binding to poly(rA) by a proteolyzed fragment of the gene 32 protein of phage T4 (Lonberg et al., 1981).

    Notizen: The structure of water and its interaction energy with a fragment of B-DNA composed of 12 base pairs and of the corresponding 24 sugar and 22 phosphate units and Na+ ions (one at each phosphate group) are analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. The sample of water molecules, at the simulated temperature of 300 K, is composed of 447 water molecules. The results are discussed either in terms of statistical analyses over the 2,000,000 simulated conformations (after equilibration) or with reference to an “average configuration.” Comparison is made to a simulation previously presented for the same system but without counterions. Isotherm at different relative humidity, hydration, and reactivity scales for different sites, the hydration number at each site, the structure of intraphosphate and interphosphate hydrogen-bonded filaments of water are reported and discussed. The stabilization of the B-conformation induced by the solvent with counterion (“ion-induced compression effect”) is analyzed on the base of the above findings. A preliminary model to predict conformational transition in DNA is presented. The analyses reported are very detailed to allow refined interpretations of spectroscopic (infrared, Raman, and nmr) and scattering (x-ray and neutron beam) data on DNA insolution.

    Notizen: The conformational response of calf thymus DNA to solvent conditions altered by varying amounts of ethanol and NaCl has been monitored by circular dichroism (CD). These measurements, which extend over a much greater range of conditions than previously examined, reveal (above critical concentrations of ethanol and salt) a condensed form of the macro-molecule with unusually large positive ellipticity in the 250-300-nm region [the Ψ(+) state]. Mere increase in NaCl concentration at constant 35% (v/v) concentration of ethanol suffices to convert such Ψ(+) samples - via a series of intermediate forms with CD spectra resembling those of A-DNA, then B-DNA - into Ψ(-) states having anomalously large negative ellipticity similar to the well-known Ψ(-) forms produced by above-critical concentrations of poly-(ethylene oxide) and salt. These ethanol/salt-induced transitions are all completely reversible and can occur without formation of any visible precipitates. We suggest that they represent predominantly tertiary structural changes of B-form DNA molecules analogous to the changes which occur in several other systems where Ψ(+) ⇌ Ψ(-) interconversion has been reported. A “skein-of-yarn” model for the condensed tertiary (and quaternary, i.e., aggregated) state of the DNA affords one possible explanation for the inversions of ellipticity in all these cases. Such a model accords well with the accepted description of cholesteric liquid crystals.

    Notizen: 1H-Nmr was used to measure the rate of cis-trans interconversion of X-Pro bonds in linear and cyclic oligopeptides. k(cis → trans) = 2.5 × 10-3 s-1 at 25°C was found for the zwitterionic form of H-Ala-Pro-OH, in good agreement with earlier measurements. Replacement of Ala by Phe, Tyr, or Trp resulted in a 10-fold slower interconversion rate, whereas after substitution of Ala by His or Glu, the rate decreased only slightly. Independent of the residues X, the interconversion rate was increased by a factor of ca. 20 when the peptide chain was elongated by addition of Ala to the C-terminal Pro. An additional increase by a factor of 6 was observed when going from the protected linear peptide CF3CO-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ala-OCH3 to the closely related cyclic compound c[-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Ala-]. These data are evaluated with regard to their possible use in future studies on the role of X-Pro cis-trans isomerization in the kinetics of protein folding.

    Notizen: As a model compound for the growing chain in the activated-NCA type of polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride (NCA), 3-[ω-acetylglycyl-poly(α-amino acid) acyl]-α-amino acid NCA (called the prepolymer) having various degrees of polymerization (DPs) was synthesized by the polymerization of Phe, Val, Glu(OEt), and Asp(OBzl) NCA in the presence of AcGly NCA by the tertiary amine. Activated (S)-Phe, Val, Glu(OEt), and Asp(OBzl) NCA were added to the terminal cyclic group of the corresponding (S)- or (R)- prepolymer, and the enantiomer selectivity in the reaction was investigated. With prepolymers having DPs ranging from 1 to 15, the addition reaction always took place preferentially between species having the same configuration, and the degree of the enantiomer selection increased with increasing DP of the prepolymer. With prepolymers having DP = 1 and 2, we found contributions from the chiral terminal unit and the chiral penultimate unit to the enantiomer selection, respectively. Prepolymer having DP = 5 was shown to take a β-type conformation, which led to higher enantiomer selection; and prepolymers having DP = 10 and 15 were shown to take an α-helix conformation, which led to much higher enantiomer selection than did the β-type conformation. In the present investigation the mechanisms of terminal-unit control, penultimate-unit control and conformational control of the enantiomer selection in the activated-NCA type of polymerization were clearly observed.

    Notizen: The helix-coil transition and conformational structure of poly(8-bromoadenylic acid) [poly(8BrA)] have been investigated using 1H- and 13C-nmr, CD, and ir spectroscopy. The results have been compared with the structure of the related 5′-mono- and polynucleotides. The chemical shifts of H(2′), H(3′), C(2′), and C(3′) nmr signals show an interesting correlation with both the puckering of ribose ring and glycosidic bond torsion angle. Poly(8BrA) shows an upfield shift of the C(3′) signal and a downfield shift of the H(3′) signal compared to the chemical shifts in poly(A). These shifts are consistent with a C(3′) endo-syn conformation for poly(8BrA). A similar effect has been reported previously and is also observed here on the C(2′) and H(2′) signals when the preferred conformation is C(2′)endo-syn (e.g., in 5′-8BrAMP). The chemical-shift parameters thus act as a probe for studying syn ⇄ anti and N ⇄ S equilibria in solutions. The three-bond 1H-′13C coupling constants between H(1′) and C(8) and C(4) have been measured in poly(8BrA) and 5′-8BrAMP and their structural implications have been discussed. The observed preference of a C(3′)endo-syn conformation for poly(8BrA), coupled with other evidence, throws doubt on the validity of a correlation previously reported whereby a syn conformation is associated with a C(2′)endo ribose pucker. The backbone conformation of randomly coiled poly(8BrA) is very similar to the structures found in polyribonucleotides: poly(A) and poly(U). All three polymers show strong preferences for the backbone angles found in RNA helices. The CD spectrum of poly(8BrA) has a striking relationship to that of poly(A). The signs of all extrema are inverted, and the magnitudes are related by a constant factor. We suggest that these differences result from a change in the angle between coupled transition moment vectors in the two polymers. Infrared spectra of poly(8BrA) in H2O and D2O solution are reported for the frequency range below 1400 cm-1. The antisymmetric 〉PO2- stretching vibration is observed at an unusually low frequency in the helix (1214 cm-1). The symmetric 〉PO2- stretch occurs at ∼1095 cm-1 but is not resolved from a ring vibration near this frequency. A conformationally sensitive band, characteristic of helical RNA structures, is observed at 817 cm-1 and disappears when the helix is melted. This observation confirms the conclusion that ordered poly(8BrA) has a regular helical structure with an RNA backbone conformation. A stereochemical explanation is provided for the failure of poly(8BrA) (or other syn polymers) to form double helices with anti-polyribonucleotides.

    Notizen: The arginine and lysine residues of calf thymus histone H1 were modified with large molar excesses of 2,3-butanedione and O-methylisourea, respectively. Kinetic study of the modification reaction of the arginine residue revealed that the reaction is divided into the two pseudo-first-order processes. About a third (1 Arg) of the total arginine residues of the H1 molecule was rapidly modified without causing any detectable structural change of the molecule, and the slow modification of the remaining arginine residues (2 Arg) led to a loss of the folded structure of H1. In the case of lysine residue modification, 93% (56 Lys) of the total lysine residues of the H1 was modified with the same rate constant, while 7% (4 Lys) of lysine residue remained unmodified. When the reaction was performed in the presence of 6M guanidine-HCl, all of lysine residues were modified. It is concluded that the 2 arginine and 4 lysine residues resistant to modification are buried in interior regions of the H1 molecule and play an important role in the formation of the H1 globular structure, while the other 1 arginine and 56 lysine residues are exposed to solvent.

    Notizen: The molar Kerr constants mK, molar refractions mR, and dipole moments μ are reported for the N-methylacetamides CX3CONHCH3 (X = H, CH3, F. CI, Br) and acetamides CX3CONH2 (X = H, F, Cl, Br). The components of the polarizability tensor α are deduced for N-methylacetamide and acetamide on the basis of the bond additivity approximation. This α is found to be considerably more anisotropic than was indicated in previous determinations by other methods. The data for N-methylacetamide were used to calculate mK, μ, and γ2 (anisotropy squared) of N-acetyl-N′-methylglycine amide and N-acetyl-N′-methyl-alanine amide as functions of the torsional angles (φ,Ψ). The statistical mechanical averages of mK, μ, and γ2 were calculated from conformational energies obtained by the methods of Scheraga.
