    Notes: Abstract Speed of nerve impulse conduction is greatly increased by myelin, a multi-layered membranous sheath surrounding axons. Myelinated axons are ubiquitous among the vertebrates, but relatively rare among invertebrates. Electron microscopy of calanoid copepods using rapid cryofixation techniques revealed the widespread presence of myelinated axons. Myelin sheaths of up to 60 layers were found around both sensory and motor axons of the first antenna and interneurons of the ventral nerve cord. Except at nodes, individual lamellae appeared to be continuous and circular, without seams, as opposed to the spiral structure of vertebrate and annelid myelin. The highly organized myelin was characterized by the complete exclusion of cytoplasm from the intracellular spaces of the cell generating it. In regions of compaction, extracytoplasmic space was also eliminated. Focal or fenestration nodes, rather than circumferential ones, were locally common. Myelin lamellae terminated in stepwise fashion at these nodes, appearing to fuse with the axolemma or adjacent myelin lamellae. As with vertebrate myelin, copepod sheaths are designed to minimize both resistive and capacitive current flow through the internodal membrane, greatly speeding nerve impulse conduction. Copepod myelin differs from that of any other group described, while sharing features of every group.

    Notes: Abstract The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family is considered to be activated by stress, but the role of the MAPK family is still unknown in cardiac pathology. In the present study, not only the localization of MAPKs such as the extracellular responsive kinase (ERK), c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 MAPK (p38), but also ultrastructural changes were investigated in the ischemia-reperfusion model of Wistar rats. At 5, 10, 30, 60, and 180 min reperfusion after 30 min ischemia by occluding the coronary artery, the expression of these MAPKs was increased in blood vessels and cardiomyocytes by Western blotting and immunohistochemical methods. In addition, after ischemia reperfusion, various ultrastructural changes such as decreased glycogen granules, mitochondrial swelling, and myolysis were observed in the blood vessels and cardiomyocytes. These results suggest that protein kinases may regulate numerous biological processes, including the regulation of contraction and ion transport.

    Notes: Abstract Female gonadotroph adenomas with endocrinological symptoms are uncommon. Six cases of such adenomas have been reported in the literature: two were girls who presented with precocious puberty and four were premenopausal women with accompanying multiple ovarian cysts. We describe here a 10-year-old Japanese girl with a gonadotroph macroadenoma and present detailed morphological findings of the tumor. The patient's chief complaints were nausea, abdominal distention, and abdominal pain. Abdominopelvic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral multiple ovarian cysts. Endocrinological assays showed elevated serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (33.7 mIU/ml) and estradiol (3840 pg/ml). MRI of the head showed a large pituitary tumor. Two transsphenoidal operations and subsequent radiation therapy were performed. Immunohistochemically, more than half the tumor cells were positive for anti-FSH-β monoclonal antibody. Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells exhibited a fairly uniform picture of rounded cells. Their nuclei were slightly irregular and contained heterochromatin, and their cytoplasm contained many round, dense core granules, measuring 140–260 nm in diameter, together with well-developed organelles. An in vitro study showed that the tumor cells in primary culture produced FSH (1089.0 mIU/ml). To our knowledge, this is the first immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study of an FSH-secreting gonadotroph adenoma occurring in childhood.

    Notes: Abstract It has been considered that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a major cause of human gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcers (G-DU). Many investigations of the relationship between H. pylori and apoptosis have been reported recently. However, these studies focused mostly on epithelium, using the TUNEL method. In the present study, we evaluated by electron microscopy the occurrence of apoptosis in the mesenchymal cells of lamina propria mucosae infected with H. pylori. Gastric biopsy specimens from 37 H. pylori-infected G-DU patients and 8 noninfected volunteers were examined with both light and electron microscopy and analyzed by the TUNEL method. The TUNEL method showed no significant difference between H. pylori-infected and noninfected cases. In contrast, electron microscopy revealed significant numbers of apototic fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in H. pylori-infected lamina propria mucosae, with a diminished number of collagen fibers in surrounding areas. These areas showed edematous changes histopathologically. These results indicated that H. pylori infection induces apoptosis of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in lamina propria, with decrease in the numbers of collagen fibers, suggesting that these alterations may be affected by exaggerate acid secretion, decrease mucus protecting factors, and result in ulcer formation.

    Notes: Abstract Cilia are motile processes extending from the basal bodies, playing important roles in the mucociliary clearance in the respiratory tract and the transport of the ovum from the ovary to the uterus in mammals. Ciliogenesis is divided into four stages: (1) duplication of centrioles; (2) migration of centrioles to the apical cell surface to become basal bodies; (3) elongation of cilia containing the axoneme; and (4) formation of accessory structures of basal bodies. The orderly course of ciliogenesis appears to be disturbed by various internal and external factors and, as a result, various unusual forms of the ciliary apparatus develop in the cell. Inhibition of basal body migration results in development of intracytoplasmic axonemes, cilia within periciliary sheaths, and intracellular ciliated cysts. Swollen cilia and the bulging type of compound cilia are formed during ciliary budding and elongation. This review also discusses the origin, composition, and function of the centriolar precursor structures.

    Notes: Abstract The network of elastic system fibers in human fibrotic liver was investigated by histological methods, immunohistochemical staining, and electron microscopy. Type III collagen was seen not only in regions of portal fibrosis but also in the sinusoidal wall. However, elastic system fibers were not found in the Disse space of the sinusoidal wall. Elastic system fibers including oxytalan, elaunin, and elastic fibers were found successively in the course of elastogenesis. A few normal oxytalan fibers and abnormal oxytalan fibers were observed in the periportal tracts. Few normal elaunin and abnormal elaunin fibers were observed in regions of portal fibrosis but not in the surrounding margin. Elastic fibers, only in scarce amounts, were observed around the portal veins in the case of chronic active hepatitis but not in acute hepatitis. Abnormal oxytalan fibers were seen as a bundle of wavelike microfibrils and had an irregular arrangement. Abnormal elaunin fibers were not associated with bundles of microfibrils. Abnormal elaunin fibers in large amounts were found interspersed with spiraled collagen, which most likely indicates that the oxytalan fibers degenerated in the course of elastogenesis. Thus, in a fibrotic liver it is possible that synthesis of normal elaunin and elastic fibers does not occur or that the quantity of such fibers synthesized may be small because of the effect of the degenerated oxytalan fibers. As a characteristic of liver fibrosis, the composition of abnormal elastic system fibers and spiraled collagen differs from that in other fibrotic organs.

    Notes: Abstract Adenoid basal carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare tumor with a favorable prognosis. A case of adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) of the uterine cervix was studied using light and electron microscopy. The patient was a 74-year-old Japanese woman who had undergone hysterectomy due to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3. Incidentally, ABC was found in the resected uterus. The tumor cells made small nests and infiltrated the cervical portion of the uterus. In the nests, glands, cribriform patterns with glandlike structures, and squamous differentiation were seen. Immunohistochemically, the glandlike structures were positive for laminin and type IV collagen. Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells had irregular nuclei, scanty cytoplasm, and cribriform patterns in which glandlike structures were covered with basal lamina. No myoepithelial differentiation of the tumor cells was seen. These findings suggest a similarity between adenoid basal carcinomas and adenoid cystic carcinomas. Furthermore, both tumors are considered to originate in the reserve cells of the uterine cervix. Because their outcomes are different, they should be distinguished from each other.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective: To report four cases of rice bodies (RBs) showing remarkable size variations and discuss their pathogenesis. Design and patients: Based on analysis of the clinical data, we speculate on the pathogenesis of RBs using immunohistochemical and ultrastructural methods. The patients comprised three men and one woman, three with RBs in the subacromial bursae and one in the wrist synovial sheath, aged 28 (woman), 44, 50 and 81 (wrist) years, respectively. Results: There were no particular differences in clinical data among the patients. T2-weighted MR imaging was very useful for diagnosis of the RBs, allowing their clear delineation from the bursal fluid. The RBs consisted of a layered protein- aceous substance with vague targetoid cut surfaces. Much fibrin and a lesser amount of collagen fibers were recognized together with various mononuclear cells, which were few in number and predominantly T cells. The bursae and synovial sheath had multiple fibrinoid spheroids at the luminal surface. Conclusion: Fibrinoid nodular deposits probably became detached, forming the nuclei of RBs and growing to a giant RB 65 mm in diameter.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract  Previous studies in the canine heart had shown that the growth of collateral arteries occurs via proliferative enlargement of pre-existing arteriolar connections (arteriogenesis). In the present study, we investigated the ultrastructure and molecular histology of growing and remodeling collateral arteries that develop after femoral artery occlusion in rabbits as a function of time from 2 h to 240 days after occlusion. Pre-existent arteriolar collaterals had a diameter of about 50 µm. They consisted of one to two layers of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and were morphologically indistinguishable from normal arterioles. The stages of arteriogenesis consisted of arteriolar thinning, followed by transformation of SMCs from the contractile- into the proliferative- and synthetic phenotype. Endothelial cells (ECs) and SMCs proliferated, and SMCs migrated and formed a neo-intima. Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) showed early upregulation in ECs, which was accompanied by accumulation of blood-derived macrophages. Mitosis of ECs and SMCs started about 24 h after occlusion, whereas adhesion molecule expression and monocyte adhesion occurred as early as 12 h after occlusion, suggesting a role of monocytes in vascular cell proliferation. Treatment of rabbits with the pro-inflammatory cytokine MCP-1 increased monocyte adhesion and accelerated vascular remodeling. In vitro shear-stress experiments in cultured ECs revealed an increased phosphorylation of the focal contacts after 30 min and induction of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression between 2 h and 6 h after shear onset, suggesting that shear stress may be the initiating event. We conclude that the process of arteriogenesis, which leads to the positive remodeling of an arteriole into an artery up to 12 times its original size, can be modified by modulators of inflammation.

    Notes: Abstract We studied a cystic ganglioglioma (GG) located in the right frontal lobe of the brain. Interestingly, the fibrillary spindle glial cells were often arranged in a fascicular pattern, and the generally uniform, round-to-oval delicate nuclei appeared to resemble those of ependymoma; and the neoplastic neurons often contained neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). The glial component was positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein and occasionally contained granular or microvesicular structures positive for epithelial membrane antigen. Ultrastructural investigation revealed that the glial cells were ependymal in nature; intracytoplasmic lumina and intercellular microrosettes lined with cilia and microvilli, as well as long zonulae adherentes, were evident. In addition, chromogranin A-positive granular staining, neurosecretory-granule-like structures, and parallel arrays of microtubules were sometimes associated with the blood vessels. We considered the present case to be an unusual example of GG with an ependymoma, more precisely a tanycytic ependymoma, as the glial component; to our knowledge, the existence of ependymoma as the main glial component of this particular tumor has not been described before. The occurrence of NFTs, which has been reported in several cases of GG, was an additional, unusual feature.

    Notes: Abstract A study was undertaken to determine the pathological significance of previously unrecognized intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions (IEIs) in ependymoma. The study group consisted of 58 ependymomas, all of which were pathologically characterized and graded according to the 1993 WHO classification. Electron microscopic studies were performed in 16 cases. The study showed that 33 (57%) ependymomas had IEIs and that in 8 cases these were abundant. Round and eosinophilic, their sizes varied from 10 μm to a tiny dot. Similar eosinophilic bodies were also observed between tumor cells. The inclusions were weakly PAS positive. On immunostains, IEIs were frequently positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein, less often for S-100 protein, and for epithelial membrane protein and CAM 5.2. They were negative for AE1/AE3, carcinoembryonic antigen and Ber-EP4. Ultrastructurally, IEIs represented intracytoplasmic lumens containing microvilli and cilia. These microlumina also frequently contained granulo-tubular materials. With reference to tumor subtypes, IEIs occurred most frequently in ordinary and clear cell ependymomas. IEIs were also present in 4 of 6 anaplastic ependymomas studied. In conclusion, IEIs represent microlumina and occur in more than a half of ependymomas including malignant examples. Their finding is a helpful diagnostic feature of ependymoma.

    Notes: Abstract  The predominant cells of female prostatic glands lining their lumen were found to be tall cylindrical secretory cells with short stubby microvilli, protuberances of the apical cytoplasm, and with bleb formation. Abundant secretory vacuoles and granules, rough endoplasmic reticulum, developed Golgi complexes and numerous mitochondria are characteristic of their active secretory configuration with apocrine (apical blebs) and merocrine (secretory vacuoles and granules) type of secretion. Basal (reserve) cells were seen to be located between the secretory (luminal) cells and the basement membrane. Their ground cytoplasm is dense with rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Their nuclei, unlike those of secretory cells, possess more peripheral condensed chromatin, denser dispersed chromatin and sporadic nucleoli. Besides the two basic types of mature prostatic cells intermediary cells were also seen, located between the basal and secretory cells or in their close vicinity. Their cytoplasm exhibits numerous profiles of rough endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes. Secretory vacuoles and granules were mostly practically absent (type 1 intermediary cells) so that they resembled basal (reserve) cells. In some of them, however, as in secretory cells, such secretory elements do gradually appear (type 2 intermediary cells). The finding of intermediary cells in the lining of prostatic glands supports the role of basal (reserve) cells in the renewal of cells in glands of the female prostate. The first ultrastructural analysis of the normal female prostate performed by transmission electron microscopy showed that, as in the postpubertal male, the prostatic glands in the adult female display mature secretory and basal cells. The results of the presented study further corroborate the contemporary concept of the female prostate as a functional genitourinary organ.

    Notes: Abstract Ultrastructural three-dimensional reconstruction of human classical plaques in different stages of development shows that microglial cells are the major factor driving plaque formation by fibrillar amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition. The amount of fibrillar Aβ released by microglial cells and the area of direct contact between amyloid and neuron determine the extent of dystrophic changes in neuronal processes and synapses. The volume of hypertrophic astrocytic processes separating fibrillar amyloid from neuron is a measure of the protective activation of astrocytes. On the bases of the volume of amyloid star, microglial cells, dystrophic neurites, and hypertrophic astrocytic processes, and spatial relationships between plaque components, three stages in classical plaque development have been distinguished: early, mature, and late. In early plaque, the leading pathology is fibrillar Aβ deposition by microglial cells with amyloid star formation. The mature plaque is characterized by a balance between amyloid production, neuronal dystrophy, and astrocyte hypertrophy. In late classical plaque, microglial cells retract and expose neuropil on direct contact with amyloid star, enhancing both dystrophic changes in neurons and hypertrophic changes in astrocytes. In late plaques, activation of astrocytes predominates. They degrade amyloid star and peripheral amyloid wisps. The effect of these changes is classical plaque degradation to fibrillar primitive and finally to nonfibrillar, diffuse-like plaques.

    Notes: Abstract The post-mortem diagnosis of lysosomal storage diseases can be confounded by the unavailability of suitable material. Here we report the diagnosis of GM1-gangliosidosis in a cross-bred dog, from which only formalin-fixed brain was available, by a combination of electron microscopy and the detection of elevated levels of GM1-ganglioside within the tissue using the novel technique of electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry. Electron microscopic examination of ultrathin sections of resin-embedded tissue revealed cytoplasmic inclusions (membranous cytoplasmic and zebra bodies) in brain stem and cerebellar neurons that were characteristic of a gangliosidosis. Glycolipids were extracted from the fixed tissue and analysed by tandem mass spectrometry. Two major ions were detected, which corresponded to GM1 (d18:1–C18:0) and GM1 (d20:1–C18:0). Their identity was confirmed by comparison of their fragmentation patterns with those of authentic standards. The concentration of GM1 was approximately sixfold higher on a wet weight basis than in the brain of a normal control dog, confirming the diagnosis of GM1-gangliosidosis.

    Notes: Abstract  The aim of the present work was to examine and compare the ultrastructure of bovine retinal endothelial cells (BRECs) in vitro during several passages in a medium selective for endothelial cells. The identity of the endothelial cells was confirmed immunohistochemically, up to the tenth passage. Changes in their ultrastructure in comparison to endothelial cells in vivo occurred at the onset of culturing and not progressively with repeated passages. The cultured BRECs show high metabolic activity in all passages. While retaining their identity as endothelial cells, they modify their lipid metabolism, so that lipids are stored. This change in lipid metabolism was induced by the medium.

Unlike in epigean vertebrates the outer segments of most photoreceptor cells consists of concentrically arranged lamellae, however; in few cells, the outer segments contain 7-9 plasma membrane disks. In both types of photoreceptor cells the outer segments enclose lumps of vesicles of different sizes. The photoreceptor cells of Proteus anguinus are similar to those in other cavernicolous fish species.

    Notes: Abstract Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a disease that frequently runs a protracted course and is very difficult to eradicate. The mechanisms that this organism uses to escape from host defense mechanisms and antibiotics are not well understood. The aim of the study was to compare the morphological characteristics and surface antigen expression of B. pseudomallei in naturally infected human synovial tissues with the characteristics of bacteria grown in culture media. Immunoelectron microscopic study was performed in four synovial biopsies taken from four B. pseudomallei septic arthritis patients. Colonies of pathogenic B. pseudomallei collected from culture media were used as positive controls. Polyclonal antibody to whole cell B. pseudomallei was used as a primary antibody. Complete bacteria-like particles were demonstrated both extracellularly and intracellularly in all four synovial specimens. The intracytoplasmic location of B. pseudomallei and mononuclear phagosome containing microcolony-like structures were demonstrated. B. pseudomallei found in the synovial membrane samples were mostly atypical, with fewer cytoplasmic electron lucent granules. Immunogold staining of bacterial surface antigens was weaker than staining of positive controls. We demonstrated atypical forms of B. pseudomallei and evidence for suppression of its surface antigens in naturally infected human synovial tissues. This adaptation may help bacteria to survive despite host immune surveillance and treatment with antibiotics.

    Notes: Glomus claroideum (Schenck & Smith emend. Walker & Vestberg) were investigated for ability to form arbuscular mycorrhiza-like symbioses with the hornwort Anthoceros punctatus (L.). Spores were transferred to a cellulose acetate filter on water agar and a small portion of an Anthoceros thallus was placed directly upon the spores. Light-microscope observations 20 days after inoculation revealed branched hyphae growing within the thallus. After 45 days, arbuscules and vesicles were studied by light- and electron-microscopy. After 60 days in water agar culture, the colonised Anthoceros thalli were transferred to a low-nutrient medium agar. Hyphae spread in the agar and newly formed spores were observed 5 weeks after the transfer. After 4 months, about 1000 spores were formed in each Petri dish. This is the first report of an experimentally established arbuscular mycorrhiza-like symbiosis between an identified fungus belonging to the Glomales and a bryophyte.

    Notes: Abstract Contractile dysfunctions have been demonstrated in different experimental models of diabetes which have similar characteristics to many of the abnormalities found in the clinical setting. Administration of streptozotocin (STZ) to young adult rats induces β-cell necrosis of the pancreas which gives rise to hypoinsulinaemia and hyperglycaemia, features which are also seen in untreated type 1 clinical diabetes. We have investigated the chronic effects of STZ-induced diabetes on contraction in rat ventricular myocytes and ultrastructure of cardiac muscle. Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats (230–270 g) with a single injection of STZ (60 mg kg−1). At 2 and 10 months after STZ treatment, the amplitude of contraction was larger in diabetic compared to control myocytes. Time to peak contraction was significantly longer at 2 months but appeared to normalise at 10 months after STZ treatment. In contrast, time to half relaxation of contraction was not significantly different after 2 months but was significantly reduced at 10 months after STZ treatment compared to control. Transmission electron microscope examination of cardiac muscle showed that the ultrastructure of cardiac muscle, especially structures associated with contraction, were not greatly altered after STZ treatment. Sarcomere lengths were not significantly different in papillary or ventricular muscle at 4 or 8 months after STZ treatment compared to control. Our data provide evidence that morphological defects in contractile myofilaments and associated structures cannot explain contractile dysfunctions seen in ventricular myocytes from STZ-treated animals.

    Notes: Summary Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells were preserved in liquid nitrogen for over three years, using embedding of cells in calcium-alginate prior to subculture in sucrose-enriched medium, air-drying, and direct quenching in liquid nitrogen. Survival of cells reached 34%, yielding regrowth at the surface of all cryopreserved beads in less than 7 days. Following pretreatment and dehydration, the water content dropped from 2300% to 34% with respect to dry weight. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that glass transition occurred on cooling, followed by a slight crystallization event on rewarming. The survival of cells was independent of the cooling rate. The tolerance of the acute dehydration step increased progressively with sucrose pretreatment duration, indicating the requirement for adaptative cellular alterations. Ultrastructural studies revealed several changes in cells after sucrose pretreatment prolonged from 1 to 7 days: reversal of the initially plasmolyzed state, microvacuolation, numerous autophagic structures, scarcity of ribosomes, increase in number and size of starch grains. No cell division seemed to occur during this period. After air-drying and after a freeze-thaw cycle, followed by 24 h rehydration, regenerating cells had recovered a high level of ultrastructural organization and contained numerous polysomes suggesting an intense metabolic activity. Trehalose, a cryoprotective disaccharide not considered to be a metabolic substrate, yielded only 70% regrowth after freezing. Biochemical analysis showed that soluble sugars accumulated during the pretreatment, essentially sucrose or trehalose; the monosaccharide content also increased. In the light of these results, the action of sucrose in inducing freezing tolerance is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Using susceptible and resistant sugar beet lines, comparative analyses of root histology and ultrastructure were made during invasion by nematodes and the induction and formation of specific feeding structures (syncytia).The resistant line carried the resistance geneHs1pro−1.Nematodes were able to invade and induce functional syncytia in roots of resistant and susceptible lines. However, syncytia in resistant roots were smaller and less hypertrophied. The vacuolar system of syncytia in susceptible plants contained many small vacuoles. In resistant plants vacuoles were larger but less numerous. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum prevailed in syncytial protoplasts of susceptible plants, whereas almost only rough endoplasmic reticulum occurred in syncytia in resistant plants. The most conspicuous and hitherto undescribed trait of syncytia in resistant roots was the initial appearance of loose, and later compact, aggregations of the endomembrane system which composed most of the endoplasmicreticulum system of syncytia at later stages. Syncytia in resistant plants usually degraded before the nematodes reached their adult stage. The appearance of membrane aggregations and the other resistance-specific features are discussed in relation to their possible effects on syncytium function and role in nematode resistance.

    Notes: Summary We have made a detailed cytological examination of the development of wheat embryoids, monitoring their initial divisions from two to ten cells by both light and electron microscopy. According to our observations the first embryogenic division is symmetrical. After the androgenesis induction treatment, there is a decrease in ribosome population with cells that have inactive nucleoli made up almost exclusively of a dense fibrillar component. This population is restored after initial embryogenic divisions. During the initial divisions the embryogenic pollen grains do not appear to change in size and the pollen wall remains intact. The exine undergoes no modification but the intine thickens, and we have observed that the thickness of the intine can be used as a cytological marker of androgenesis. The walls separating the cells obtained after embryogenic division contained numerous plasmodesmata. The beginnings of embryo polarization and cell differentiation could be made out in the very early pollen embryoids.

    Notes: Summary Young spruce seedlings (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) grown in hydroponic culture were exposed to three different concentrations (50,100, and 500 μM) of reduced glutathione for 24 h. These physiologically relevant concentrations of glutathione had a multiple effect on the investigated tissue. Feeding of glutathione to roots increased the concentrations of thiols (glutathione, cysteine, and γ-glutamyl-cysteine) in roots, decreased the rate of cell divisions, induced mitotic abnormalities, and affected the cell ultrastructure. Electron micrographs showed effects such as advanced vacuolation, dilated rough-endoplasmic-reticulum cisternae, and separations of the plasma membrane from the cell wall.

    Notes: Abstract Morphological aspects of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) encompass two main features: loss of nerve cells and accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigments within cellular compartments. The former requires histology and morphometry for assessment, while the latter necessitates fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. Accumulation of lipopigments is widespread throughout the central nervous system and extracerebrally. The latter feature enables diagnosis of NCL and its clinical subtype. Loss of neurons is most pronounced in cerebral and cerebellar cortices, in early childhood forms. In subcortical grey matter and in later-onset forms, juvenile and adult NCL, reduction in neurons and possible preceding dendritic pathology may only correctly be ascertained by age-matched, controlled morphometric investigations which, to date, have not yet completely assessed subcortical neuronal damage. Presently, clinical and morphological evaluations are mandatory for genetic analysis, genetic counselling, and prenatal diagnosis, the latter often being based on combined genetic and morphological studies.

    Notes: Abstract Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are rarely seen, especially in children and adolescents. We report the case of a 17-year-old male with supratentorial hemangioblastoma. Neuroimaging demonstrated a cystic lesion within the right parietal lobe. Systemic examination revealed no abnormality. The lesion was not attached to the dura and was not associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease. It was very difficult to confirm the final diagnosis of this case, in spite of extensive examination by light microscopy, immunohistochemical studies, and electron microscopy.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Sowohl die Befunde der Röntgendiffraktion als auch jene der Elektronendiffraktion und der Elektronenmikroskopie lassen vermuten, daß bei der Aortenatherosklerose zusätzlich zu den üblichen Komponenten von Calciumphosphat (Apatit) eine Reihe anderer Elemente und Radikale vorhanden sind; diese können eine Rolle spielen bei der Entwicklung der “verkalkten” Plaque und bei anorganischen Läsionen juveniler Atherosklerosen. Bei den untersuchten Fällen kann die Aortenatherosklerose bereits im 30. Lebensjahr auftreten; die anorganische Zusammensetzung der Plaque ist nahezu identisch mit jener der bereits entwickelten.

In the cases studied, aortic atherosclerosis may appear as early as in the third decade and its inorganic composition is almost identical with the developed plaque.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La réponse des dilatations vasculaires conjonctivales à l'application locale d'adrénaline a été testée chez 25 sujets. Les dilatations veinulaires irrégulières disparaissaient, les microanévrysmes veinulaires subissaient une contraction partielle, tandis que les microanévrysmes capillaires ne se contractaient pas après application d'adrénaline. Des spécimens de biopsie de la conjonctive ont été examinés au microscope à lumière et au microscope électronique chez quatre sujets diabétiques, chez lesquels les microanévrysmes avaient été mis en évidence par biomicroscopie. On a noté un épaississement marqué de la membrane basale et un agrandissement du cytoplasme endothélial dans les capillaires dilatés. Les péricytes étaient normaux en nombre et en apparence. Chez trois non-diabétiques les dilatations capillaires conjonctivales n'ont pas subi ces modifications. On a observé un degré plus faible d'épaississement de la membrane basale chez un diabétique plus jeune. La découverte de microanévrysmes capillaires conjonctivaux chez un diabétique semblerait donc indiquer la présence de microangiopathie.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Das Ansprechen von Bindehautgefäß-Aneurysmen auf lokale Adrenalinapplikation wurde bei 25 Vp. überprüft. Darunter verschwanden unregelmäßige venöse Erweiterungen und die venösen Mikroaneurysmen kontrahierten sich teilweise, während sich die kapillären Mikroaneurysmen unter Adrenalin nicht verkleinerten. Biopsiepräparate aus der Bindehaut von 4 Diabetikern, bei denen sich durch Biomikroskopie Mikroaneurysmen hatten nachweisen lassen, wurden licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. In den erweiterten Kapillaren fielen dabei eine deutliche Verdickung der Basalmembran und eine Vermehrung des endothelialen Cytoplasma auf. Die Pericyten erschienen nach Zahl und Aussehen normal. Erweiterungen von Bindehautkapillaren bei 3 Nichtdiabetikern zeigten diese Veränderungen nicht. Bei einem jüngeren Diabetiker ließ sich eine weniger ausgeprägte Verdickung der Basalmembran beobachten. Der Nachweis von Mikroaneurysmen in den Bindehautkapillaren eines Diabetikers spricht also für das Vorliegen einer Mikroangiopathie.
    Notes: Summary The response of conjunctival vascular dilatations to topical epinephrine was tested in 25 subjects. Irregular venular dilatations disappeared, venular microaneurysms underwent partial contraction, while capillary microaneurysms did not contract following application of epinephrine. Biopsy specimens of the conjunctiva were examined by light and electron microscopy in four diabetic patients in whom microaneurysms had been demonstrated by biomicroscopy. Marked thickening of the basement membrane and enlargement of the endothelial cytoplasm were noted in the dilated capillaries. Pericytes were normal in number and appearance. Conjunctival capillary dilatations in three nondiabetics failed to show these changes. A milder degree of basement membrane thickening was observed in a younger diabetic. The finding of conjunctival capillary microaneurysms in a diabetic would thus appear to indicate the presence of microangiopathy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Eine ultrastrukturelle Untersuchung von 50 Acusticusneurinomen wurde durchgeführt. Die lichtoptisch charakteristischen dichten, lockeren und vacuolären Areale dieses Tumors waren aus Zellen aufgebaut, die zwei gemeinsame ultrastrukturelle Eigenschaften aufweisen: a) Das Cytoplasma bildet Bündel sehr dünner, langer Fortsätze in engem Kontakt zueinander und/oder mit ähnlichen Fortsätzen benachbarter Zellen. Das zarte EPR scheint direkt für die Bildung dieser Fortsätze verantwortlich; b) alle diese Zellen und ihre Fortsätze waren stets von einer Basalmembran umgeben. Der extracelluläre Raum in vielen Tumoren erscheint entweder “leer” oder enthält ein feingranuläres Material und wenige kleine Bündel feiner Filamente. In jedem untersuchten Tumor enthielt der Extracellularspalt in den dichten Arealen bandförmige fusiforme Fasern (Luse-Körper) von sich wiederholenden 1200Å Makroperioden. Nur in einigen Tumoren enthielt der extracelluläre Raum der lockeren Gebiete natives fibröses Kollagen. Voll und teilweise bemarkte Nervenfasern mit hyperplastischen Schwann-Zellcytoplasma fanden sich in wenigen Geschwülsten. In einigen wurde auch eine konzentrische Anordnung von Zellen und Fortsätzen beobachtet. Ein Vergleich zwischen den untersuchten Tumoren und fetalen menschlichen peripheren Nerven führte zu dem Schluß, daß Schwann-Zellen und nicht Fibroblasten die meisten, wenn nicht alle Zellen von Acusticusnervengeschwülsten bilden. Das Perineurothel kann allerdings nicht als zweiter Sitz der Geschwulstbildung ausgeschlossen werden.
    Notes: Summary An ultrastructural study of 50 acoustic neuromas was made. The dense, loose, and vacuolated areas of light microscopy, characteristic of these tumors, were composed of cells exhibiting two common ultrastructural features: a) The cytoplasm formed bundles of very thin, long processes in intimate contact with each other and/or with similar processes from neighboring cells. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum appears to be directly responsible for the formation of these processes; and b) All of these cells and their processes were consistently surrounded by a basement membrane. The extracellular space in many tumors appeared either “empty” or contained a fine granular material and a few small bundles of fine filaments. In every tumor studied the extracellular space, in the dense areas, contained banded fusiform fibers (Luse bodies) of 1,200 Å repeating macroperiods. In only some tumors, the extracellular space of the loose areas contained native fibrous collagen. Fully myelinated and partially myelinated nerve fibers with hyperplastic Schwann cell cytoplasm were found in a few tumors. A tactoidal arrangement of cells and cell processes was also found in some tumors. A comparison between fetal human peripheral nerves and the tumors studied, led to the conclusion that the cells of Schwann and not fibroblasts form most, if not all the cells of acoustic nerve neoplasms. The perineurothelium, however, could not be excluded as a second site for the development of these tumors.

Darauffolgende Untersuchungen am Elektronenmikroskop zeigten eine sehr gute Wiedergabe der morphologischen Einzelheiten in den Extrazellulär-Regionen. Besonders beachtet wurde das Aussehen der peritubulären Matrix, innerhalb welcher gut differenzierte Schichten erkannt werden konnten. Eine wesentliche Übereinstimmung bestand zwischen Elektronenmikroskopie und kürzlich durchgeführten Untersuchungen an derselben Matric unter dem Mikroskop. Diese Methode ermöglicht es, eine neue Hypothese über die Bildung des peritubulären Dentins aufzustellen.
    Notes: Abstract A recently-developed method for histological decalcification using aqueous solutions of basic chromium (III) sulphate has been applied to thin sections of adult human dentine. Subsequent studies in the electron microscope show a very good retention of morphological detail in the extracellular regions. Special attention was given to the appearance of the peritubular matrix within which well-differentiated layers were recognised. There was substantial agreement between electron microscopy and recent studies of the same matric under the light microscope, allowing a novel hypothesis for the formation of the peritubular dentine.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les cellules activement sécrétantes des glandes riches en calcium deLumbricus terrestris ont une forme en dôme. La partie basale de la cellule présente de nombreux prolongements ramifiés. Ces prolongements contiennent de nombreuses mitochondries, ainsi que des invaginations de la membrane formant des vésicules qui migrent dans diverses parties de la cellule. Le noyau irrégulier est en position centrale. La région supranucléaire contient surtout de l'ergastoplasme, plusieurs appareils de Golgi et de nombreuses granules provenant de l'appareil de Golgi. Ces granules augmentent de taille et sont rejetées dans le sinus de la glande, où elles se modifient et se calcifient pour donner des sphérolithes. Des radioautographics glandulaires, obtenues 1/2 heure après injection de Ca45, montrent une localisation isotopique, située presque exclusivement dans les cellules; 4–24 heures après, l'isotope se localise dans les sphérolithes de la cavité glandulaire. Ces cellules semblent assurer deux fonctions liées à la production de sphérolithes: 1. absorption et transport de calcium de la région basale vers la surface cellulaire et 2. formation d'une matrice protéique qui se calcifiera.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die aktivsezernierenden Zellen der calcifizierenden Drüsen vonLumbricus terrestris sind annähernd kuppelförmig gestaltet. Der untere Teil dieser Zellen besteht aus unzähligen ineinandergreifenden Zellfortsätzen. Diese Fortsätze enthalten zahlreiche Mitochondrien und membranöse Einstülpungen, welche Bläschen bilden, die zu den verschiedenen Regionen der Zelle wandern. Der Zellkern ist unregelmäßig und zentral angeordnet. Die supranukleäre Region ist zu einem großen Teil mit grobem endoplasmatischem Reticulum und mehreren Golgi-Komplexen sowie zahlreichen Granula, die von den Golgi-Komplexen stammen, ausgefüllt. Diese Granula vergrößern sich und werden in den Drüseninus ausgestoßen, wo sie schließlich reorganisiert und mineralisiert werden, um Sphärolithen zu bilden. 1/2 Std nach Injektion von Ca45 wurde die Drüse entfernt; eine Radioautographie zeigte, daß das Isotop beinahe ausschließlich in den Zellen lokalisiert war; 4–24 Std später befand sich das Isotopin den Sphärolithen der Drüsenhöhlung. Diese Zellen sind anscheinend an zwei für die Bildung von mineralisierten Sphärolithen notwendigen Funktionen beteiligt: 1. an der Calcium-Absorption und deren Transport von der Basalregion bis zur Zelloberfläche; 2. an der Bildung einer Proteinmatrix, in welcher die Mineralisation stattfindet.
    Notes: Abstract The actively-secreting cells of the calciferous glands ofLumbricus terrestris are roughly dome shaped. The basal part of the cell consists of numerous interdigitating cell processes. These processes contain numerous mitochondria and membranous infoldings, forming vesicles which migrate to various regions of the cell. The nucleus is irregular and centrally located. The supranuclear region is occupied to a great extent by the rough endoplasmic reticulum, several Golgi complexes and numerous granules derived from the Golgi complexes. These granules enlarge and are extruded into the gland sinus, where they eventually become reorganized and mineralized to give rise to spheroliths. Radioautographs of glands removed 30 min following injection of45Ca showed uptake of the isotope located almost exclusively in the cells; 4–24 h later the isotope was located in the spheroliths in the gland cavity. These cells apparently perform two functions necessary for the production of mineralized spheroliths, 1, absorption and transport of calcium from the basal region to the cell surface and 2, the elaboration of a protein matrix in which mineralization occurs.

    Notes: Summary Previous studies with the Nauta technique have established that fibres which originate in two important areas — the hippocampus and the hypothalamus — converge upon the cells of the septal nuclear complex. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomical basis of how the septal cells could differentiate between fibres from the two sources. Differences in the mode of termination of these two systems have been studied quantitatively at the electron microscope level by using the orthograde degeneration of terminals after lesions of the fimbria and the medial forebrain bundle. In the medial septal nucleus, the hippocampal fibres account for 35% of the terminals, and in the lateral septal nucleus, 43% of the terminals on the same side and a further 13% on the opposite side. These terminals are at least 98% axodendritic and 91% of them contain predominantly clear synaptic vesicles of 500 Å diameter. The hypothalamic fibres are the source of up to 19% of the axodendritic terminals in the medial septal nucleus, but considerably fewer in the lateral septal nucleus. In contrast to the hippocampal afferents, the hypothalamo-septal system has two characteristic features: firstly, the fibres give rise to up to 24% of the axosomatic terminals in the medial septal nucleus, and secondly, 63% of the terminals contain a population of vesicles with significantly higher proportions of dense centred vesicles of 800–1000 Å diameter.

    Notes: Summary After cutting a neck connective of Schistocerca gregaria, only 2% of the axons on each side of the lesion degenerate. The remainder show reactive changes, which last for approximately one week at 28° C. There is no morphological change in either of the pro/mesothoracic connectives after injury to the neck connective. Phagocytes invade the stumps, but attack only degenerating cells, and are absent by Day 7. Regeneration from the connective stumps begins a week after injury; a functional link may be formed by Day 10, but by Day 23 the new connective cannot function adequately for the locust's survival, if the undamaged connective is then cut. The chief morphological changes in the reactive axoplasm are increases in the number of mitochondria, neurotubules, vesicles and vacuoles. These changes appear to be a local response, and not to be influenced by the neuron cell bodies. Some glial cytoplasm (presumably enucleated), degenerates rapidly after injury, and replacement begins by Day 5. Tracheoles, never seen in normal connectives appear in the reactive connective from Days 3–8, this is interpreted as a migration from the ganglion in response to oxygen deficiency in the connective. The results are discussed in relationship to previous work.

    Notes: Summary The free or “non-glandular” pseudobranch of the flounder Paralichthys lethostigma was studied with the electron microscope. Cells typical of glandular type pseudobranchs are found. This indicates that, at least in the flounder, the free pseudobranch should be called “glandular”. In addition, the chloride-type cells, commonly found in the gill, buccal epithelium, and surface epithelium of other fish, have been found in the pseudobranch, where they have not been described previously. The fine structure of both the chloride-type and the pseudobranch-type cell has been characterized and contrasted. We have not been able to confirm previous reports that the specific cells in both pseudobranch and gill are identical in the flounder.

Elektronenmikroskopisch findet sich ein lückenloses Endothel mit reichlich pinocytotischen Vesikeln. Eine Basalmembran ist im Klappenbereich durchgehend, sonst nur bruchstückweise vorhanden. Die darunter gelegene Bindegewebsschicht (Lamina propria interna) ist sehr unterschiedlich ausgeprägt. Die lichtoptische Einteilung in muskelstarke und muskelschwache (klappennahe) Abschnitte des Lymphangions läßt sich elektronenmikroskopisch bestätigen. Die zahlreichen membrannahen Vesikel der Muskelfasern sind bei Kontraktion in zahnartigen Fortsätzen angereichert. Auch beim Normaltier treten sog. „aktivierte“ Muskelzellen auf. Osmiophiles Material ist nach Fettfütterung zwischen den Muskelzellen und in der Lamina propria interna der Gefäßwand vorhanden, nicht dagegen in den Klappen. Der Kontakt zwischen den Muskelzellen erfolgt mittels fingerartiger Fortsätze. Endothel und Klappen sind frei von nervösen Elementen. Nervenendigungen und Axone sind zwischen den Muskelfasern nicht zu beobachten, hingegen ganz selten Ganglienzellen. Histochemisch sind im Endothel starke Aktivitäten der sauren Phosphatase und der Monoaminooxydase nachzuweisen, auch unspezifische Esterasen, ATP-ase sowie verschiedene Dehydrogenasen sind vorhanden. Cholinesterase, Cholindehydrogenase und alkalische Phosphatase fehlen. In der Media sind unspezifische Cholinesterase, unspezifische Esterasen, ATPase, Monoaminooxydase, Succinodehydrogenase und NAD-Diaphorase nachweisbar. Im einzelnen kann die Stärke der Aktivität einem bestimmten Abschnitt (muskelstark/muskelschwach) des Lymphangions zugeordnet werden. Damit ist eine Einteilung der Lymphangione in klappentragende und muskelmanschettenhaltige Anteile auch histochemisch möglich. Im Gegensatz zur Adventitia der Blutgefäße gibt die der Lymphgefäße keine Reaktion auf alkalische Phosphatase. Die dort reichlich vorhandenen Mastzellen sind Naphthol-AS-D-chloracetat-esterase positiv.
    Notes: Summary The large lymphatic vessels in the mesentery of male white rats were investigated with ultrastructural and histochemical methods. Electron micrographs show an uninterrupted simple endothelial layer, the individual cells of which are rich in pinocytotic vesicles. A distinct continous basement membrane is to be found only in the region of the valves, otherwise it is lacking over wide parts of the vessel wall. The so-called lamina propria interna differs greatly in its extent. Electron microscopy confirms the subdivision of the lymphangion into segments rich in muscle cells and others (in the area of the valves) which are less rich in them. Muscle cells contain numerous vesicles in close connection with the cell membrane which in contracted cells are to be found predominantly in toothlike projections. Also in the normal rat, so-called “activated” muscle cells are to be found. After a meal rich in fat, osmiophilic material can be seen between the muscle cells and in the lamina propria interna, however, not in the valves. Muscle cells are in contact with each other by finger-like processes. The endothelial layer and the valves are lacking nervous elements. There are no nerve endings and no axons between the muscle cells, but very rarely ganglion cells can be found. Histochemically, strong activities of acid phosphatase and MAO have been demonstrated in the endothelial layer. Unspecific esterases, ATP-ase and various dehydrogenases are also present, while cholinesterase, cholindehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase are lacking. In the media, unspecific esterases, unspecific cholinesterase, MAO, succinodehydrogenase and Naddiaphorase can be found. The intensity of enzymatic activities can be correlated to specific segments of the lymphangion. It is, therefore, possible to distinguish by histochemical methods the valve areas, which are poor in muscle cells, from the muscle-cuffs. In contrast to the blood vessels, the adventitia of the large lymphatics is alkaline-phosphatase negative. The mast cells, abundant in the adventitial layer, show α-Naphthol-AS-D-chloroacetate-esterase activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Feinstruktur der Maxillarnephridien von Scutigerella immaculata Newport mit ihren drei Abschnitten Sacculus, Tubulus und Ausführgang wurde untersucht. Die Zellen des Sacculus sind typische Podocyten, an denen eine Ultrafiltration ablaufen kann. Möglicherweise wird die Filtration durch einen den Sacculus umgebenden Muskel unterstützt. Die Zellen des Tubulus zeigen basale Einfaltungen und im proximalen Teil auch Mikrovilli. Sowohl im Tubulus als auch im Ausführgang, dessen Zellen ebenfalls basale Einfaltungen aufweisen, werden Reabsorptionsprozesse vermutet.
    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the maxillary kidney of Scutigerella immaculata Newport (Symphyla) has been investigated. It may be compared with segmental organs of other Arthropoda having an end-sac which forms a primary urine by ultrafiltration. The filtration may be supported by a muscle surrounding the end-sac. The tubular part of the nephridium and the efferent duct show structures which may be involved in reabsorption.

    Notes: Summary For a limited period during the oogenesis of Protopterus, blebs of the perinuclear cistern contain, in addition to other inclusions, a special kind of microtubular elements. Most of these blebs face parts of multiple nucleolar bodies that extend toward and make contact with the inner nuclear membrane. The microtubular lumen contains a finely dispersed material of moderate electron density which seems to be in contact with this nucleolar material. Aside from these intracisternal structures there are, within both the perinuclear cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm, similar microtubular arrays without apparent connection with the nuclear envelope. These are either enclosed by membranes derived from those of the envelope or unconfined, having escaped through breaks in their respective bounding membranes. Extracisternal tubules are presumed to have passed their period of putative functional activity and to be undergoing a process of regression and subsequent disintegration. Among possible roles attributable to the intracisternal microtubular apparatus are the following: (1) It may serve for the transport of special nucleolar components to the cytoplasm, possibly to be incorporated in the matrix of developing perinuclear mitochondria; (2) it may provide openings in the nuclear membranes for the direct passage of particulate elements between nucleus and cytoplasm; (3) it may be instrumental in the breakdown of parts of the nuclear envelope prior to its restitution during the subsequent phase of oogenesis.

    Notes: Summary Studies of possible neuroendocrine structures in the pulmonate gastropod Helisoma tenue show that cerebral fuchsinophilic neurons with electron-dense granules (mean diameter 1,500 Å) apparently release their secretory content in an “intercerebral commissure neurohemal area” near the mediodorsal bodies (MDB) or in the “median labial nerve neurohemal area”. The MDB cells have axon-like processes which branch and end at the cerebral surface, separated by a thin capsule from the cerebral fuchsinophilic cells. The presence of granules (mean diameter 800 Å) in the terminals of the MDB cells suggests cell body origin, distal transport and release of the granular secretory material. The secretory product may have an influence on cerebral fuchsinophilic neurons. Electron microscopy reveals the presence of granules of different sizes and densities in expanded neurites at the periphery of the intestinal nerve of the visceral ganglion which may indicate the presence of a neurohemal area. However, the granules in the intestinal nerve neurites and in the visceral ganglion fuchsinophilic cells are similar to granules found in the heart which also suggests that the granules may carry a neurotransmitter.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'ultrastructure de la cuticule du rectum a été étudiée chez onze espèces d'Insectes, appartenant à neuf ordres. On s'est surtout intéressé aux espèces présentant des papilles rectales; dans ce cas on distingue toujours trois types de cuticule: cuticule de l'épithélium rectal, cuticule des papilles, cuticule du ≪cadre≫ entourant les papilles. La cuticule du cadre est formée d'une masse compacte et amorphe, sclérifiée, surmontée d'une cuticuline de structure normale. Les deux autres types de cuticules possèdent une structure plus classique: épicuticule comprenant cuticuline et zone dense, et endocuticule. La cuticule de l'épithélium rectal a toujours une structure comparable à celle d'une cuticule périphérique non sclérifiée. La cuticule des papilles est plus variable, et toujours différente de celle de l'épithélium rectal. Ces différences portent sur la cuticuline, la zone dense, les filaments épicuticulaires; l'endocuticule sur les papilles montre une organisation fibrillaire moins nette, qui paraît corrélative d'une réaction positive à l'APS. Des canaux poraires n'ont jamais été observés dans la cuticule des papilles; il en existe quelquefois dans la cuticule de l'épithélium rectal. Une sous-cuticule, contenant des mucopolysaccharides acides, est présente dans certains cas dans les deux types de cuticule. Dans les espèces ne possédant pas de papilles rectales, il n'existe qu'un seul type de cuticule rectale, variable suivant l'espèce. La cuticule des papilles montre, dans certaines espèces, des dépressions superficielles, d'un diamètre voisin de 0,2 μ, réparties uniformément mais sans ordre défini (≪dépressions épicuticulaires≫). De telles dépressions s'observent aussi dans quelques espèces dépourvues de papilles (Tenebrio). Au niveau de ces dépressions, la cuticuline a une structure particulière et la zone dense est réduite. Les rapports entre structure et perméabilité de la cuticule sont discutés. On envisage en particulier les rôles respectifs de la cuticuline, de la zone dense, des filaments épicuticulaires et des dépressions épicuticulaires.
    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of the rectal cuticle was studied in eleven species of Insects from nine orders. Special attention was given to those having rectal papillae. In such species, three types of cuticule were observed: 1) the cuticle of the rectal epithelium, 2) the cuticle of the papillae, 3) the cuticle of the border of the papillae. The cuticle of the border is made of a compact amorphous substance, which is sclerotized and covered by a typical cuticulin layer. The two other types of cuticle exhibit a more conventional organization, namely the epicuticle comprising both the cuticulin and the dense layer, and the endocuticle. The cuticle of the rectal epithelium is similar to unsclerotized external cuticle. The cuticle of the papillae is more variable and always differs from the cuticle of the rectal epithelium. Variations occur with regards to the cuticulin, the dense layer and the epicuticular filaments. The endocuticle of the papillae has a less conspicuous fibrillar structure which we believe is correlated with the PAS-positive reaction found in this endocuticle. Pore canal sometimes are observed in the cuticle of the rectal epithelium but never above the papillae. In some cases, a sub-cuticular layer containing acid mucopolysaccharids is present in the two types of cuticle. In species lacking rectal papillae, the rectal wall is covered by only one type of cuticle, the features of which vary according to species. In some Insects, the cuticle of papillae shows numerous superficial depressions, each of about 0.2 μ in diameter. These “epicuticular depressions” are uniformly distributed throughout the papillae but are not arranged in any particular pattern. We have also found such depressions in other Insects lacking rectal papillae (e.g. Tenebrio). In the epicuticular depressions, the cuticulin exhibits a modified organization and the dense layer is reduced. The relations between ultrastructure and cuticular permeability are discussed. The possible roles of the cuticulin, the dense layer, the epicuticular filaments and the epicuticular depressions are examined.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Direkte Belichtung oder Lichtreizung der Lateralaugen lösen im zentralen Teil der Taubenepiphyse keine elektrische Aktivität aus. Im Stielabschnitt sind dagegen kleine, durch Licht nicht beeinlußbare Dauerentladungen zu beobachten. Die Lage der Ableitungspunkte wurde durch den histologischen Nachweis der elektrolytisch gesetzten Eisenmarken bestimmt. Diese Ableitungsstellen befinden sich im Epiphysenparenchym. Ein stärkeres versilberbares Nervenbündel verläuft im Stiel der Epiphyse. Adrenerge Nervenfasern, die grün fluoreszieren, begleiten die Kapselgefäße und dringen mit diesen in das follikuläre Epiphysengewebe ein. Das Epiphysenparenchym zeigt nach Falck-Hillarp eine Gelbfluoreszenz mit umschriebenen apikalen oder basalen Anreicherungen der fluoreszierenden Substanz. Mit Reserpin kann nur ein Teil dieses Materials entspeichert werden. Elektronenmikroskopisch lassen sich in der Taubenepiphyse keine typischen pinealen Rezeptorzellen nachweisen. Regelmäßig lamellierte Außenglieder fehlen vollständig. Es finden sich lediglich cytoplasmareiche bulböse Zilien und zirkuläre Lamellenkomplexe, die in Tubuli übergehen. Die letzteren können sich mit einem dichten körnigen Material füllen. An einigen Stellen haben solche Lamellenverbände einen Zusammenhang mit keulenförmig verdickten Zilien. Diese Zone ist aber anders strukturiert als das für retinale und pineale Lichtsinneszellen charakteristische Verbindungsstück. Die Zeichen der sekretorischen Aktivität der Taubenepiphyse sind überzeugender als die für einen lichtempfindlichen Sinnesapparat sprechenden Strukturmerkmale. Ein bestimmter Typ der Pinealocyten ist reich an 800–1200 Å großen granulierten Vesikeln, die sowohl am apikalen als auch am basalen, auf die Blutgefäße ausgerichteten Zellpol angehäuft sein können. An den manchmal gelappten basalen Endfüßen sind Zeichen der Ausschleusung des Vesikelinhalts bzw. eines Materialschwundes aus dem granulierten Vesikelkern zu erkennen. Die sekretorische Aktivität der Taubenepiphyse wird mit Hinweis auf die in ihr reichlich vorkommenden 5-Hydroxyindole (Quay) und das Problem der Melatonin-Bildung diskutiert. Erörtert wird auch die Möglichkeit einer Stimulierung dieser Sekretion über den Sympathikus.
    Notes: Summary Direct illumination or stimulation with light of the lateral eyes induced no electrical activity in the central part of the pineal organ in the pigeon. In the pineal stalk, however, a train of impulses was observed that failed to respond to changes of illumination. The position of the tip of the recording electrode (iron deposit), was histologically clearly determined to be in the pineal parenchyma. A distinct nerve bundle could be traced down the pineal stalk. Adrenergic nerve fibers showing a green fluorescence accompanied pineal capsular vessels into pineal follicular tissue. Using the method of Falck-Hillarp, the pineal parenchyma showed high concentrations of yellow fluorescent material in the apical or basal parts of the pinealocytes. Only a part of the fluorescent material could be dispersed with reserpine. In the electron microscope, no typical photoreceptor cells were identified in the pineal organ. Only large bulbous cilia, and circular lamellar or tubular complexes, were observed; they sometimes contained a dense granular material. Occasionally, the lamellar complexes had a direct relation to cilia of club-shaped appearance. Signs of secretory activity were more definitive in the pigeon pineal organ than sensory structures. One type of pinealocytes contained many 800–1,200 Å diameter granular vesicles concentrated in the apical or basal (apposed to blood vessels) cell parts. At the occasionally lobulated basal end-feet, a disappearance of the content of the granular vesicles indicated a release mechanism. This secretory activity was discussed in relation to the 5-hydroxyindole content of the pigeon pineal organ (Quay) and the general problem of melatonin synthesis; also, the possibility was considered that the secretory activity may be stimulated by sympathetic nerve fibers.

    Notes: Summary The vitreous body of the rat eye was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The freeze-dried specimens were either unfixed, freshly frozen or fixed and rinsed before being frozen. The vitreous body is surrounded by a coat of intercellular material covering a thin sheath of chiefly parallel fibers. The latter forms the base for a regularly organized three-dimensional network of fibers. The interfibrillar spaces are filled with ground substance and also contain a few cells. The shape of the cells varies from bipolar to polyhedronal. Their interconnected processes are usually undivided. The functional importance of this complex regular organization of the fibers and cells in the vitreous body is stressed.

    Notes: Summary The sarcolemma and T system and the sarcoplasmic reticulum were studied in a fast acting muscle, the extraocular muscle of Fundulus grandis. The predominant morphological fiber type contained abundant glycogen, a highly developed T system with triads at the A-I junction and a well developed sarcoplasmic reticulum. The numerous tubular profiles of T system and sarcoplasmic reticulum with their characteristic contents made this fiber especially suitable for cytochemical investigation. Revel's thorium dioxide technique for the ultrastructural localization of tissue polyanions was applied to thin sections of extraocular muscle. The results confirmed an earlier report by Goldstein and Philpott on fish branchial muscle. The polyanionic material was associated with the sarcolemma, the T system and the sarcoplasmic reticulum of these fibers. Both the distribution and the amount of polyanionic substance associated with these physiologically important membrane systems support the idea that the reactive material serves as an anionic substrate for binding cationic calcium.

    Notes: C—Cl and C—C bond energies in the chloroethanes and C—H, C—Cl, and C—C bond energies in the chloroethyl radicals are calculated from known heats of formation of chloroethanes and chloroethylenes and known C—H bond energies in chloroethanes.The results obtained show a dependence of bond energy on the isomeric structure of the molecules and radicals and on the type of bond broken (primary, secondary, or tertiary). Heats of formation and bond energies estimated from group property additivity rules are in close agreement with experimental values.

    Notes: A study of the pressure dependence of the C5 products from the reaction of cis-butene-2 and methylene is reported. Methylene was produced by the photolysis of diazomethane with 4358 Å light at 23° or 56°, and by photolysis of ketene with 3200 Å radiation at 23° or 100°. The change with increasing pressure of the relative amounts of the characteristically “triplet products” (trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane, trans-pentene-2 (TP2), and 3-methylbutene-1 (3MB1)) and “singlet products” (cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane (CDMC) and cis-pentene-2 (CP2)) are discussed. The behavior is reminiscent of that found in 3CH2-cis-butene-2 systems and can be interpreted in terms of the rapid rate of rearrangement of an initial triplet diradical product component, due to 3CH2, relative to the slower rate and readier collisional stabilization of an initial vibrationally-excited dimethyl cyclopropane product component, due to 1CH2. Relative rates of reactions of 1CH2 with allylic CH:vinyl CH:C=C in the neat liquid were, for diazomethane, 1:1.1:7.2 and, for ketene, 1:1.2:6.7.

    Notes: The use of iodine monochloride (ICl) as a thermal source of chlorine atoms in known concentration is discussed with particular reference to the suppression, by large excesses of iodine, of the chain processes normally associated with chlorine atom reactions. The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of ICl with hydrogen are presented in a study covering the temperature range 205-337°C, and the pressure ranges: ICl, 6-20 torr; I2, 3-13 torr; and H2, 9-520 torr. The reaction, followed spectrophotometrically in a static system, is shown to be homogeneous, first order in ICl and in H2, and inverse half-order in I2, over several half-lifetimes of the ICl, yielding HCl as the sole product. The rate data obtained in this work for the reaction are combined with the critically evaluated results of other workers in an Arrhenius plot covering the temperature range 286-730°C, and three orders-of-magnitude in the rate constant, yielding the results, log k1/(1/mole sec) = 10.68-5.26/θ, where θ = 2.303RT in kcal/mole. This value of k1 is lower by a factor of about two than that proposed in a recent review by Fettis and Knox, and is clearly at variance by a factor of two or more with the most recent data of Clyne and Stedman.

    Notes: The temperature-jump method has been used to determine the nickel(II)- and cobalt(II)-arginine complexation kinetics. In the pH range studied, the neutral form of the ligand, HL, is the attacking, as well as the complexed, ligand species. The reactions reported on are of the type where n = 1, 2, 3 and M is Ni or Co. At 25° and ionic strength 0.1M the association rate constants are: for nickel(II) k1 = 2.3 × 103(±20%), k2 = 2.4 × 104(±20%), k3 = 3.5 × 104(±40%) M-1 sec-1; for cobalt(II) k1 = 1.5 × 105(±20%), k2 = 8.7 × 105(±20%), k3 = 2.0 × 105(±40%) M-1 sec-1. Arginine binds to metal ions less well than homologous chelating agents due to the electrostatic repulsion arising from the positively charged terminus of the zwitterion. Kinetically, the effect appears in the association rate constants with nickel reactions more strongly influenced than cobalt.

    Notes: The spectrophotometric determination of the rate of iodine atom catalyzed geometrical isomerization of diiodoethylene in the gas phase from 502.8 to 609.1°K leads to a rate constant for the bimolecular reaction between I and trans-diiodoethylene of log kt-c(M-1 sec-1) = 8.85 ± 0.12 - (11.01 ± 0.30)/θ. Estimates of the entropy and enthalpy change for the addition of I atoms to trans-diiodoethylene (process a.b) lead to log Ka.b(M-1) = -2.99 - 4.0/θ, and thus to log kc (sec-1) = log kt-c - log Kab = 11.8 -7.0/θ for the rate constant for rotation about the single bond in the adduct radical. The theory for calculation of the rotation rate constant is presented and it is shown that while the exact value depends on the barrier height, a value of 6.8 kcal/mole for this quantity leads to log k (sec-1) = 11.8 -6.7/θ. The activation energy points to a better value of the group contribution to heat of formation of the group C-(I)2(H)(C) than one based on bond additivity.

    Notes: The reaction between carbon monoxide and atomic oxygen was studied in a gas flow over a temperature range of 136 to 230°C at atmospheric pressure. The rate constant of this reaction, considered to be one for a second-order reaction, was found to decrease with increasing temperature and to depend on the ratio of O2 to CO that was varied from 0.11 to 2.69. A conclusion was made that under the experimental conditions the reaction was third order The rate constant of this reaction was determined for a mixture of O2 and CO and it was found that the efficiency of O2 as particle M is four times that of CO.

    Notes: The method of molecular-modulation spectrometry for studying photochemical reactions has been applied to methyl nitrite photolysis. The infrared absorption of the nitroxyl radical HNO has been observed in the gas phase at 3300 cm-1. Under the present experimental conditions the steady-state concentration of HNO under steady illumination was 1.1 × 1012 particles/cc, and the observed modulation amplitude was 4.5 × 1010 particles/cc. At 25°C and 1 atm of nitrogen, the cross section for infrared absorption by HNO at 3300 cm-1 is 1.7 × 10-19 cm2. The rate constant ratio b/c was found to be 8.0. From the literature value of the rate constant d , the observed rate constant for the reaction is e = (5 ± 1) × 10-11 cc/particle sec.

    Notes: The spectrophotometric determination of the rate of pyrolysis of 1,2-diiodoethylene from 305.8 to 435.0° (with additional data on the addition of iodine to acetylene from 198.1 to 331.6°) has resulted in the observation of both a (in part heterogeneous) unimolecular process (A), and an iodine atom catalyzed process (B). For the homogeneous unimolecular process, log (kA/sec-1) ≈ 12.5-46/θ would appear to be reasonable, while log (kB/M-1 sec-1) = 11.8-23.9/θ, where θ = 2.303RT in kcal/mole.It is suggested that a donor-acceptor complex intermediate may explain the observed rate constant of process B and analogous reactions in other systems.

    Notes: The thermal isomerization of the title compounds was studied in the vapor phase. Over the temperature range from 445.1 to 477.5°K, 1,4-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.0]hexane underwent a homogeneous unimolecular reaction to 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene, the rate constants being represented by the equation: k = 1.86 × 1011 exp (-31000 ± 1800/RT) sec-1. Over the temperature range from 630.0 to 662.2°K, 1,4-dimethylbicyclo[2.1.1]-hexane also underwent a unimolecular isomerization to the same product, the rate constants being given by the equation: k = 8.91 × 1014 exp (-56000 ± 900/RT) sec-1. The pyrolysis of 1,4-dimethylbicyclo[2.1.0]pentane gave 1,3-dimethylcyclopentene-1 and 2,4-dimethyl-1,4-pentadiene in the ratio of 9:1. The former reaction was influenced by surface effects but the latter was not. The rate constants for the formation of 2,4-dimethyl-1,4-pentadiene fitted the equation: k = 1.66 × 1017 exp (-57400 ± 3100/RT) sec-1. The effect of the two methyl groups at the bridgehead positions in these molecules in influencing the rate of decomposition is discussed in terms of the non-bonded repulsive forces between the substituents.

    Notes: Isotope effects, general acid catalysis, and relative reactivities show that proton transfer to one of the unsaturated carbon atoms is rate determining for the acidolysis of unsaturated alkylmercuric halides. For compounds, R1R2C=CHHgX, substitution of CH3 for H at R1 or R2 leads to an acceleration of a factor of ∼ 30. This relatively small acceleration, the relative facility of the reactions, and the magnitude of the Br- catalytic terms, suggests an olefin-mercuric halide complex as the product of the rate-determining step, rather than a simple carbonium ion.The Brøonsted catalysis law is obeyed with a variety of carboxylic acids, giving an ∝ of 0.69 ± 0.04, but acids of other structures give substantially deviant catalytic coefficients, in a pattern similar to that generated by other A-SE2 reactions. The acetic acid catalytic coefficient is larger by a factor of 102 than that predicted if it were due to specific hydronium ion-general base catalysis instead of true general acid catalysis.The overall solvent isotope effect, kH/kD, is 2.55 ± 0.10. The competitive isotope effect, κH/κD, is 6.84 ± 0.06. Taken with a model in which the proton is transferred directly from the H3O+ unit of the aquated proton to the substrate, these are sufficient to successfully predict the rate at all intermediate isotopic compositions.

    Notes: The thermal decomposition of azomethane-d6 has been studied. There is a short chain reaction, and measurements have been made of the rate of production of N2, CD4, and C2D6. A mechanism is suggested which accounts for these results fairly well. A comparison is made with some similar results of Forst for azomethane. Measurements have also been made of the reaction inhibited by NO. It is believed that the N2 production, extrapolated to zero NO pressure, measures the rate of the initial step CD3N2CD3 → 2 CD3 + N2. This has an activation energy at high pressures of 50.7 kcal per mole and an Arrhenius A·factor of 1015.49 sec-1. This is to be compared to values of 55.5 and 1017.3 found by Forst and Rice for CH3N2CH3 → 2 CH3 + N2. The pressure fall-off behavior for CD3N2CD3 → 2 CD3 + N2 has also been investigated and compared to the theoretical curves, which seem to fit satisfactorily except at the lowest pressure, where experimental errors may be large. Unexpectedly, the fall-off curve crosses that for CH3N2CH3 → 2 CH3 + N2. It is suggested that the extrapolation to zero NO pressure may not be entirely correct in the CH3N2CH3 case where the chain is longer than with CD3N2CD3. It is believed that the decomposition of azomethane-d6 is a better example for unimolecular-rate theory than is that of azomethane.

    Notes: t-Butylperoxy α-phenylisobutyrate (I) decomposes thermally by concerted formation of carbon dioxide, t-butoxy, and cumyl radicals. Radical pair return in the solvent cage therefore does not affect the observed rate of decomposition, but is readily determined by means of galvinoxyl and other scavengers. In a series of 15 solvents the rate constant varies over a 2.8 fold range, being fastest in aromatic solvents. In the same solvent series the relative rates of diffusion and combination of radicals, measured by the cage effect, change by tenfold and are largely determined by the viscosity of the solvent. In all solvents of η 〉 8 mP, the reciprocal of the cage effect is a linear function of (T1/2/η), as recently observed for trifluoromethyl and methyl radicals [16]. This property of the cage effect provides a test by which it can be distinguished from other processes that reduce the efficiency of free-radical production from an initiator.

    Notes: The kinetics of ozonation of C2H4 and C2H2 have been studied in the gas phase from -40 to -95°C (C2H4) and +10 to -30°C (C2H2). The O3 concentrations were near 10-4 M, and the hydrocarbons were present in 2- to 25-fold excess. A few experiments with propylene were also carried out. The reactions were followed by observing the rate of decay of O3 absorption at 2537 Å. Reaction stoichiometries and effects of added O2 were investigated. The second-order rate constant for C2H4 was log k(M-1 sec-1) = (6.3 ± 0.2) - (4.7 ± 0.2)/θ (θ = 2.3RT). The rate was independent of the presence of excess O2. Rate measurements for C3H6 were less accurate because of aerosol interference. Combined with room temperature measurements of other workers, the C3H6 rate constant was log k(M-1 sec-1) = (6.0 ± 0.4) - (3.2 ± 0.6)/θ. The C2H2 rate constant was log k(M-1 sec-1) = (9.5 ± 0.4) - (10.8 ± 0.4)/θ. In the case of C3H6 the major product was propylene ozonide. Ethylene did not yield the ozonide, and the products of the O3-C2H4 and O3-C2H2 reactions were not identified. Pre-exponential factors for the olefin reactions are consistent with a five-membered ring transition state formed by 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition of O3. For C2H2, however, the much higher observed A factor suggests a different mechanism. Possible transition states for the O3-C2H2 reaction are discussed.

    Notes: Methods are presented for rapidly estimating the entropies and heat capacities of free radicals from the known S0 and Cp0 of structurally similar compounds. The methods consist of estimating the differences due to changes in mass, vibration frequencies, spin, symmetry, and changes in rotational barriers. Tables of contributions to S0 and Cp0 by different frequencies over the temperature range 300-1500°K are presented to facilitate the tabulation of the above differences. Conjugated radicals, such as benzyl and allyl, are included. It is shown that the greatest uncertainties in the estimates arise from uncertainties in the barriers to rotation in the radicals.The results are applied to kinetic data on the pyrolysis of branched hydrocarbons and the reverse reactions of radical recombination. Major discrepancies exist in these data which can be nearly reconciled by postulating improbably high rotational barriers of 8 kcal for CH3 rotation in isopropyl and t-butyl radicals.It is shown that radical thermochemistry can be fitted into group schemes and tables of groups values are given for the rapid estimation of ΔHf0, S0, and Cp0 for different organic radicals, including those containing sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.

    Notes: The rate of the reaction CH2I2 + HI ⇆ CH3I + I2 has been followed spectrophotometrically from 201.0 to 311.2°. The rate constant for the reaction fits the equation, log (k1/M-1 sec-1) = 11.45 ± 0.18 - (15.11 ± 0.44)/θ. This value, combined with the assumption that E2 = 0 ± 1 kcal/mole, leads to ΔHf298° (CH2I, g) = 55.0 ± 1.6 kcal/mole and DH298° (H—CH2I) = 103.8 ± 1.6 kcal/mole.The kinetics of the disproportionation, 2 CH3I ⇆ CH4 + CH2I2 were studied at 331° and are compatible with the above values.

The available calculated and experimental values of the decomposition rate constants are in excellent agreement. It appears that, with the possible exception of reactions involving the ejection of methyl radicals, the frequency factors per bond are nearly constant, depending only upon the type of carbon-carbon bond that is being broken. These values are all lower than those expected from the radical recombination rates.Heats of formation of ethyl, t-amyl, benzyl, methylallyl, n-propyl, s-butyl, isobutyl, neopentyl, and 3-pentyl radicals have been derived.Rate parameters for the decomposition of some simple ketones and ethers have also been estimated.

    Notes: The kinetics of the photoinitiated reductions of methyl iodide and carbon tetrachloride by tri-n-butylgermanium hydride in cyclohexane at 25°C have been studied and absolute rate constants have been measured. Rate constants for the combination of CH3ċ and CCl3ċ radicals are equal within experimental error and are also equal to the values found for the self-reactions of most non-polymeric radicals in low viscosity solvents, i.e. ∼1-3 × 109 M-1 sec-1.Rate constants for hydrogen atom abstraction by CH3ċ and CCl3ċ radicals are both ∼1-2 × 105 M-1 sec-1. Tri-n-butyltin hydride is about 10-20 times as good a hydrogen donor to alkyl radicals as is tri-n-butylgermanium hydride.The strength of the germanium-hydrogen bond, D(n-Bu3Ge-H) is estimated to be approximately 84 kcal/mole.

    Notes: The gas phase, nitric oxide catalyzed positional isomerization of 3-methylene-1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexene (MTC) into 1,3,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (TECD) has been studied for temperatures ranging between 296° and 425°C. The major reaction was first order with respect to nitric oxide and to MTC.The major side product, mesitylene, usually amounted to less than 10% of the TECD isomer formed. Only at high temperatures and large conversions has up to 20% been observed.Conditioned pyrex or quartz vessels coated with KCl have been used. The nitric oxide catalyzed isomerization is apparently a homogeneous process, as demonstrated by the insensitivity of the observed rate constants towards a 15-fold increase in the surface to volume ratio of the reaction vessels. However, a residual, presumably heterogeneous, thermal isomerization of the starting material could not be eliminated. Good mass balances were obtained for both NO and hydrocarbons.After correcting for the thermally induced conversion the observed rate constants for the nitric oxide catalyzed isomerization yield log k1 (1 mole-1 sec-1) = (10.7 ± 0.2) - (37.3 ± 0.9)/θ where θ is 2.303 × 10-3 RT (kcal mole-1). Plotting log k1 versus the ratio of the starting materials (MTC/NO)0 it was found that for temperatures ≥ 365°C the rate constants were systematically too high.Using extrapolated values for the higher temperature range yields the more reliable corrected Arrhenius equation log k1corr = 8.6 - 31.7/θ. The reaction mechanism is outlined and the implications with respect to the stabilization energy generated in the MTCċ radical intermediate and the activation energy of the backreaction MTCċ + HNO are discussed.Using for the activation energy E-1 of the backreaction (Rċ + HNO) a literature value of 9.2 ± 0.9 kcal mole-1 reported for the cyclohexadiene—1,3—system, this yields 23.4 ± 2 kcal mole-1 for the stabilization energy in the methylenecyclohexenyl radical, which is to be compared with the corresponding values for the allyl (10.2 ± 1.4), methallyl (12.6 ± 1) pentadienyl (15.4 ± 1) and cyclohexadienyl (24.6 ± 0.7) radicals.The pre-exponential factor agrees well with the value of (8.4 ± 0.2) reported by Shaw and co-workers for the similar reaction of NO with 1,3-cyclohexadiene. It is noteworthy that HNO, acting as sole hydrogen donor in the system, is surprisingly stable under the reaction conditions used. Nitrous oxide, HCN, H2O and N2 are observed in the product mixture of experiments carried out to high conversions at higher temperatures.

By comparison with the activation energies for the analogous reactions of neopentane it is estimated that D((CH3)3SiCH2—H) ≃ 97 kcal/mole.The A factors for the above series of reactions fall within the range predicted by transition-state theory for this type of process and the validity of previous results of Kerr, Slater, and Young is seriously in doubt.

    Notes: In the presence of elementary iodine, isobutyl iodide (2-methyl-1-iodopropane) undergoes isotopic exchange and also decomposes with production of additional iodine. Both reactions are approximately first order in isobutyl iodide and half order in iodine molecules. In degassed hexachlorobutadiene at 160°, the rate constants for exchange and decomposition are 7.5 × 10-6 and 11.4 × 10-6 (liter/mole)1/2sec-1, respectively. The decomposition is probably initiated by iodine atom abstraction of a β hydrogen atom, but comparison with rates for related compounds indicates that this hydrogen abstraction does not contribute significantly to the mechanism of exchange.

    Notes: The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between iodine and dimethyl ether (DME) have been studied spectrophotometrically from 515-630°K over the pressure ranges, I2 3.8-18.9 torr and DME 39.6-592 torr in a static system. The rate-determining step is, where k1 is given by log (k1/M-1 sec-1) = 11.5 ± 0.3 - 23.2 ± 0.7/θ, with θ = 2.303RT in kcal/mole. The ratio k2/k-1, is given by log (k2/k-1) = -0.05 ± 0.19 + (0.9 ± 0.45)/θ, whence the carbon-hydrogen bond dissociation energy, DH° (H—CH2OCH3) = 93.3 ± 1 kcal/mole. From this, ΔH°f(CH2OCH3) = -2.8 kcal and DH°(CH3—OCH2) = 9.1 kcal/mole.Some nmr and uv spectral features of iodomethyl ether are reported.

    Notes: Arrhenius parameters have been determined for the hydrogen-abstraction reactions: R + SiHCl3 + RH + SiCl3 TextRTemp (°K)E(kcal/mole)Log A(mole-1 cc sec-1)Log k(400°K) (mole-1 cc sec-1)CF3323-4615.98 ± 0.0611.77 ± 0.038.50CH3333-4434.30 ± 0.0810.83 ± 0.044.48C2H5314-4135.32 ± 0.0711.54 ± 0.048.63The trend in activation energies ECH3 〈 EC2H5 〈 ECF3 is interpreted as indicating a polar effect in the reaction of CF3 with SiHCl3 and the similar reactivities of all three radicals appear to be due to the high exothermicity of the reactions.The A Factors for the reactions are normal for hydrogen abstraction reactions of free radicals. The previous results of Kerr, Slater, and Young for CH3 abstracting an H atom from SiHCl3 have been amended.

    Notes: Stable nitroxide radicals and ESR techniques have been used to investigate rotational and translational motions of molecules in the liquid state. It is found that for hydrocarbons and molecules with low polarity the rotational frequencies are about an order of magnitude faster than translational encounters. Arrhenius parameters are reported for the rates of both types of processes. A scheme is given for the relation of these motions to radical recombination in solution and also to reactions requiring activation energy. The consequences of this scheme are examined.Such important properties as hydrodynamic fluidity, thermal conductivity, processes of extraction and solution, occurring in the liquid phase as well as at the interface are determined by mobility of particles in the liquid. The problem of molecular mobility is of essential significance for the kinetics of chemical and chemico-physical processes in the liquid phase.Application of both ESR techniques and stable nitroxide radicals for kinetic studies of molecular motions in liquids and the correlation between molecular mobility and the kinetic parameters of liquid-phase radical reactions have been studied in the present paper.

    Notes: The photolysis of pentafluoroacetone has been investigated in the 3130 Å region, from room temperature to 360°C. The ΦCO varies from 0.7 to 0.9 over this range, and the decomposition is represented by CF2HCOCF3 → CF2H + CO + CF3. The disproportionation/combination ratio for CF3 and CF2H (→ CF3H + CF2) radicals is found to be 0.09. Arrhenius parameters for hydrogen atom abstraction from the ketone are log10A = 12.7 (units are mole-1 cc sec-1) and E = 14.3 kcal mole-1 for CF2H, and log10A = 12.1 and E = 11.8, for CF3 radicals. At low pressures HF elimination reactions are observed from the vibrationally excited fluoroethanes, C2F5H* and C2F4H2*, formed in the system. A rough estimate of the activation energy for the process C2F5H → C2F4 + HF of 60-65 kcal mole-1 is made.

    Notes: The activating effects of a number of unsaturated groups and a cyclopropyl group have been evaluated in a solvent free system by determining the absolute rate constants, and energies and entropies of activation in the vapor phase pyrolysis of secondary and tertiary esters of the type RC(R′CH3) OAc where R′ = H or CH3 and R = c-Pr, i-Pr, CH3, CH2=CH, CH2=CHCH2, C6H5; the cyclopropyl showed only a moderate activating effect. The results are in contrast to the very significant activating effect of a cyclopropyl group in solvolysis of cyclopropylcarbinyl derivatives. Apparently marked activation by this group occurs only when a highly developed positive center forms adjacent to it. The lack of marked activation by the cyclopropyl group supports a mechanism for ester pyrolysis which involves a modest, but detectable, charge separation in the transition state [2] but questions a mechanism in which an intimate ion-pair was proposed [3].

    Notes: The gas phase reaction I2 + HCOOCH3 → HI + CH3I + CO2 has been studied spectrophotometrically in a static system over the pressure ranges I2 (6-39 torr) and HCOOMe (28-360 torr). In the temperature range 293-356°, the initial rate of disappearance of I2 is first order in [HCOOMe] and half-order in [I2]. The rate determining step is where k1 is given by \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log _{10} \left({k_1 /{\rm M}^{- 1} \sec ^{- 1}} \right) = \left({9.6 \pm 0.3} \right) - \left({22.4 \pm 0.8} \right)/\theta $$\end{document} where θ = 2.303 RT in kcal/mole. This activation energy gives a carbonyl C—H bond strength of 92.7 kcal/mole. At 356° there was no evidence of abstraction of a methoxy hydrogen, so a lower limit of 100 kcal/mole may be placed on this C—H bond strength. These ester C—H bond strengths are discussed in relation to comparable values in aldehydes and ethers.

    Notes: The relative rates of addition of difluorocarbene to a series of methyl-substituted olefins have been determined and correlated with similar data for dichlorocarbene, chlorofluorocarbene and ground-state oxygen atoms. The electrophilic nature and stabilization of difluorocarbene by the fluorine substituents is discussed. Relative activation energies for the difluorocyclopropane-forming reaction have been estimated and correlated with properties of the olefins as derived from molecular orbital theory.

    Notes: Data on the kinetics of S2F10 pyrolysis, which gives SF4 + SF6, have been reinterpreted to give a value for the equilibrium constant of S2F10 ⇆ SF4 + SF6. This, together with statistical estimates of the entropy and heat capacity of S2F10, can be used to give for this reaction values of ΔH298° = 19.7 ± 1.0 kcal/mole and ΔS300° = 47.6 ± 2 gibbs/mole. ΔHf°(S2F10) = -494 kcal/mole. A compatible mechanism is shown to be S2F10 ⇆ 2SF5 (fast); 2SF5 ⇆ SF6 + SF4 (slow) with step 2 rate-determining. The overall, best first order rate constant is proposed as kmeas = 1017.42-43.0/θ sec-1 = K1k2, where θ = 2.303RT in kcal/mole.Independent measurements of δHf° and S° for the SF5 radical, permits the evaluation of the equilibrium constant K1 = 108.92-(27.1 ± 6)/θ l./mole-sec and yields k2 = 108.50-15.9/θ l./mole-sec. The observed homogeneous catalysis by NO and CHCl = CHCl can be explained in terms of a direct abstraction of F from S2F10 : C + S2F10 → CF + S2F9, followed by S2F9 → SF5 + SF4 and SF5 + CF ⇆ SF6 + C (C ≡ NO or C2H2Cl2).

    Notes: The gas phase isomerization of 1,1-dimethyl-2-vinylcyclopropane to cis-2-methylhexa-1,4-diene has been studied in a static system. The isomerization is homogeneous and kinetically first order. The rate constants were independent of initial reactant pressure in the range 0.6 to 2 torr and of added nitrogen up to 180 torr. Rate constants determined at 10 temperatures in the range 200 to 254°C fitted the Arrhenius equation k = 1011.41±0.02 exp (-33,540 ± 47 cal/RT) sec-1The low A factor and activation energy are consistent with a concerted 1,5-hydrogen migration via a “tight” cyclic transition complex.

    Notes: The intramolecular elimination of isobutene from 2-d1-triisobutylaluminum has been studied in the gas phase for temperatures ranging between 102.4 and 184.6°C. The reaction is apparently homogeneous and obeys the first order rate law, yielding the following Arrhenius relationship: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log \,k_{{\rm el}im} \left( {\sec ^{ - 1} } \right) = 11.1 - {{27.2} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{27.2} {\theta \,{\rm where}\,\theta \,{\rm equals}\,4.58 \times 10^{ - 3} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\theta \,{\rm where}\,\theta \,{\rm equals}\,4.58 \times 10^{ - 3} }}T\left( {{}^ \circ {\rm K}} \right)\,{\rm in}\,{\rm units}\,{\rm of}\,{{{\rm kcal}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\rm kcal}} {{\rm mole}{\rm .}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\rm mole}{\rm .}}} $$\end{document} Excess ethylene was added to the starting material in order to avoid complications from the backreaction. The cyclic 4-center nature of the transition state proposed earlier has been unequivocally demonstrated by deuterium labelling. Mass-spectral analyses show that the isobutene formed contains no deuterium. The hydrolyses products of the mixed trialkylaluminum formed during the reaction consist of monodeuteroethane and 2-d1-isobutane. The observed negative entropy of activation of ∼12 cal/°-mole agrees with prediction and implies a reasonably tight transition state structure. Combined with the corresponding data for the non deuterized Al(i-bu)3 reported earlier, these data result in a primary kinetic deuterium isotope effect of kH/kD = 1.3 × 100.6/θ corresponding to a ratio of the isotopic rate constants of 3.7 at 25°C. This result is in excellent agreement with a predicted value of 1.4 × 100.7/θ and it is in line with literature data on similar reactions involving cyclic transition state complexes.

    Notes: The kinetics of the gas phase bond isomerization of allyl fluoride, allyl chloride and allyl bromide, catalyzed by HBr and ultraviolet light, has been studied in the temperature range of 150-250° and at pressures of 3.5 to 50 mm. The reactions are very clean, first order in allyl halide and HBr, and have a light intensity exponent of unity. A quantum yield for allyl chloride of 3200 indicates a chain reaction. Dilution with inert gases is almost without effect, indicating that excited state intermediates are not involved. A small wall effect is observed. The evidence indicates a free radical reaction, involving hydrogen abstractions by bromine atoms, with replacement at the other end of the allylic radical.

    Notes: By photolyzing (CF2H)2CO and (CFH2)2CO the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of CF2H radicals with (CF2H)2CO, H2, D2, CH4, C2H6, n—C4H10 and iso—C4H10, and the reactions of CFH2 radicals with (CFH2)2CO and n—C4H10, have been studied. Arrhenius parameters for these reactions are compared with related systems. From a knowledge of the activation energies for the forward and reverse reactions a value of the bond dissociation energy, D(CF2H—H) = 97.4 ± 1.3 kcal mole-1 at a mean temperature of 543°K is obtained. This value is subject to much uncertainty due to possible compensation effects in the Arrhenius parameters. These effects are discussed for this and the other reactions, and the data suggest that D(CF2H—H) is approximately 100 kcal mole-1, and that D(CFH2—H) is very similar. Other literature data tend to confirm these approximate values.

    Notes: A detailed kinetic model of the HCl chemical laser produced by the flash photolytically initiated H2—Cl2 explosion is described, and the results of computer calculations on such a system are discussed. It is shown that currently accepted values of the various rate constants, supplemented in a few cases by reasonable estimates of previously unmeasured rate constants, are adequate to approximate the observed laser behavior of this system. It is also shown that the chemistry of such a system is extremely complex, and exhibits a high degree of coupling between one reaction and another; therefore, great care is required to extract kinetic data from the optical behavior of such laser systems. It is further argued that different hydrogen halide lasers may behave quite differently from each other, depending on the relative magnitudes of the various rate constants involved.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Nach Vereisung der Zirbeldrüse resultiert eine subtotale Kolliquationsnekrose, die zunächst von Leukocyten durchsetzt und dann vom 3. Tag an durch Makrophagen abgeräumt wird. Der enzymhistochemische Status und die Feinstruktur der Makrophagen weisen auf eine Identität mit den pinealen Gliocyten hin. Später treten Fibroblasten hinzu, die sich feinstrukturell und durch ihre intensive Bildung von kollagenen Fasern eindeutig von den Makrophagen abgrenzen lassen. Nach Beseitigung der Nekrose besteht das Reparationsgewebe aus wenigen Fibroblasten bzw. Fibrocyten, die inmitten kollagener Faserzüge gelegen sind sowie aus zahlreichen einförmigen Zellelementen, die sich durch intracytoplasmatische Gliofibrillogenese auszeichnen und am ehesten den pinealen Gliazellen entsprechen. Eine Regeneration von Pineocyten erfolgt nicht. — Die Gliocyten der Zirbeldrüse sind damit als interstitielle Zellen ausgewiesen und dürften in keinem direkten Zusammenhang mit der spezifischen Funktion dieser innersekretorischen Drüse stehen. Hinsichtlich der Genese dieser Zellen spricht aus ihrem funktionellen Verhalten manches für eine mesenchymale Abkunft, doch läßt ihre Feinstruktur einschließlich ihrer Befähigung zur intracellulären Bildung von Gliafilamenten eher an die gliöse Natur dieser Zellen denken, ohne daß ihre exakte Klassifizierung bisher möglich ist.
    Notes: Summary Freezing of the epiphysis results in subtotal colliquation necrosis which at first is penetrated by leucocytes. From the third day on, decomposition by macrophages is seen. Enzyme histochemical and electron microscopic findings of the macrophages indicate their identity with pineal gliocytes. Later on, fibroblasts occur, which by their ultrastructure and the intensive formation of collagen fibers are to be distinguished from macrophages. After decomposition of the necrosis, reparative tissue is formed by some fibroblasts or fibrocytes situated within collagen fiber bundels, and by numerous uniform cell elements characterized by intracytoplasmatic gliofibrillogenesis which, therefore, are regarded pineal glial cells. Regeneration of pineocytes is not to be demonstrated. Gliocytes of the epiphysis, therefore are identified as interstitial cells probably without direct connection with the specific function of this inner secretory gland. Their functional behaviour in some respect seem to indicate a mesenchymal genesis of the gliocytes. Their ultrastructure, including their possibility of intracellular formation of glial filaments, however, most probably indicate the glial nature of these cells. So far, an exact classification of the nature of these cells is not possible.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Au cours de ces dernières années, la recherche biochimique au niveau du tissu adipeux a pris un très grand développement. La technique d'isolement des cellules adipeuses a beaucoup contribué à accroître la connaissance de leur métabolisme, rendant plus nécessaire encore l'étude des corrélations existant entre les données biochimiques et l'aspect ultrastructural. Ce travail porte sur la préparation de ce matériel pour l'observation au microscope électronique. Les cellules adipeuses sont des «gouttes» lipidiques recouvertes d'une fine couche de cytoplasme. La fragilité qui en résulte nécessite une préparation particulière: 1. les cellules doivent être maniées avec précaution tout au long de la préparation; 2. il faut fixer très peu de cellules à la fois; 3. cette fixation requiert une concentration élevée d'osmium, sans quoi les lipides de la cellule restent partiellement solubles dans les solvants employés pour la déshydratation. Il faut admettre que l'osmium modifie les propriétés de solubilité des triglycérides, probablement de par sa fixation au niveau des doubles liaisons, ou en facilitant une liaison en chaîne unissant les triglycérides entre eux par l'intermédiaire des doubles liaisons de leurs acides gras; 4. l'enrobage peut être fait au Vestopal ou à l'Epon, ce dernier étant techniquement plus maniable. Isolées, les cellules adipeuses sont semblables aux cellules fixéesin situ. Les cellules adipeuses présentent une particularité: la gouttelette lipidique est isolée du cytoplasme par une membrane elle-même doublée du côté cytoplasmique par des saccules du reticulum endoplasmique lisse disposés parallèlement à elle.
    Notes: Summary During these past years, an increasing attention has been paid to the biochemical aspects of metabolic regulation in adipose tissue. An important advance has been that of the availability of a technique for the isolation of adipose cells without contamination by any other cellular component. As yet, morphological investigations have not kept up with biochemical ones, and little is known about the ultrastructural aspects of isolated adipose cells. The present study describes the precautions required during the preparation of isolated adipose cells for study with the electron microscope. These cells are lipid “droplets” surrounded by an extremely thin cytoplasmatic layer and their fragility requires special precautions: 1. the cells must be carefully handled at all stages of preparation, avoiding mechanic or chemical trauma; 2. only small numbers of cells should be processed at any one time; 3. fixation requires a relatively high concentration of osmium to prevent continued partial solubility of the triglycerides in the solvents used for dehydration. It would seem that osmium modifies the solubility of triglycerides, probably through reaction at the level of the double bonds, perhaps facilitating cross-linkage between triglycerides at the level of the double bonds of the fatty acids involved; 4. either Vestopal or Epon can be used for embedding, Epon being somewhat easier to handle technically. Isolated adipose cells resemble in most aspects cells fixedin situ, while presenting one added particularity. In the isolated, spherical fat cell, the fat droplet is isolated from the cytoplasm by a membrane, which is itself associated with numerous saccules of smooth endoplasmic reticulum along the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane.

    Notes: Summary A study has been made of the ultrastructure of the lateral vestibular nucleus of the normal cat. The study includes light microscopical observations made in Golgi material. The internal structure of the various types of cells is described. The soma of the larger nerve cells is surrounded by a protoplasmic layer, constituted by astroglial sheets, dendrites and boutons; glial cell bodies are usually located outside the layer. The smaller nerve cells display few axosomatic synapses and may be in direct contact with myelinated fibres and glial perikarya. Spines are present on the soma of large and small nerve cells and on all parts of the dendrites. The proximal dendrites are usually the part of the neurons which is most amply supplied with boutons. Various types of boutons and cell junctions are described and an attempt is made to correlate the findings in electron micrographs with those made in Golgi sections. The study serves as a basis for observations made in experimental material where afferent fibres to the nucleus have been damaged.
