    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural, enzyme histochemical and immunohistochemical studies were performed on tissue obtained from eight cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) and five cases of sacral decubitus ulcer. The MFH was composed of two major tumour cell types: fibroblast-like and histiocyte-like cells. Both cell types demonstrated abundant branching, fragmented rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), many free ribosomes, occasional small mitochondria, an oval, elliptical or irregularly shaped nucleus with one or two prominent nucleoli and often a few dense bodies. However, pseudopodial projections, multivesicular bodies and phagosomes, common histiocyte organelles, were not seen. With little difference between cases or selection sites, the MFH cells reacted to acid phosphatase (AcP) and α-naphtyl butyrate esterase (ANBE) by enzyme histochemistry and with ferritin (Fer), α1-antitrypsin (AT), α1-antichymotrypsin (ACT), fibronectin (FN), HLA-DR, HLA-DP, Leu 10 and OKT 9 in immunohistochemical studies. MFH tumour cells did not immunostain with monocyte/macrophage markers (Leu M1, Leu M3, Mo 1, Mo 2 and Macrophage) although non-neoplastic histiocytes did react to these markers. In addition, granulation tissue, such as that found in sacral decubitus ulcers, was examined and the existence of a specific cell type called the “fibrohistiocytoid (FH) cell” was documented. The FH cell was short, spindle shaped and elliptical. Ultrastructurally, it had fragmented rER distributed in a branching pattern, dispersed free ribosomes, small mitochondria and a few dense bodies, but lacked diverse fused lysosomes and distinct pseudopodial cytoplasmic extensions. The FH cells reacted with AcP, alkaline phosphatase and ANBE but not with peroxidase using enzyme histochemistry and with Fer, AT, ACT, FN, HLA-DR, HLA-DP, Leu 10 and OKT 9 but not with monocyte/macrophage markers, C3d receptor, C3bi receptor in immunohistochemical studies. The FH cells had morphological, enzyme histochemical and immunohistochemical characteristics intermediate between fibroblasts and histiocytes. Similarities between MFH cells and the FH cells seen in chronic inflammation are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Sebaceous carcinoma of salivary gland origin is extremely rare and, because of its rarity, the clinicopathological characteristics and the histogenesis are not fully understood. We present a case of sebaceous carcinoma of the parotid gland which brings the total number of reported cases to 22. The tumor showed epithelial cell nests which were mainly composed of sebaceous cells with marked cellular atypia. In most of the nests, glandular spaces lined by ductal epithelium were present. Scattered mucous cells and flattened eosinophilic cells at the periphery of the nests were also seen. Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical observations of the tumour revealed coexistence of sebaceous and glandular differentiations in some tumour cells. Tumour cells with lipid granules often participated in the formation of glandular structures or exhibited intracytoplasmic lumina, and immunohistochemical localization of lactoferrin and secretory component, the functional markers of ductal epithelium of salivary gland, was demonstrated not only in duct-forming tumour cells but also in many sebaceous tumour cells. It seems likely that sebaceous carcinoma originates from pluripotential duct cells which can differentiate into sebaceous, ductal and mucous cells.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscope studies have been conducted on the parthenogenesis induced by in vitro culture of unfertilized ovules of sunflower (Helianthus annuus). In comparison with the state of the egg prior to inoculation, some eggs 5 days after culture show striking ultrastructural changes, which include, among others, nuclear migration, an increase in the number and activity of the organelles, a loss of polarity and wall formation at the chalazal end of the cell. Most of these changes are similar to those that occur normally in the zygote, indicating that parthenogenic development has been triggered in these eggs. Such eggs have been termed activated and are presumed to be capable of undergoing parthenogenesis. The parthenogenic proembryos which result share some features in common with zygotic proembryos. In addition, some parthenogenic proembryos exhibit unique properties not found in zygotic proembryos. These include embryos that consist of two parts differing markedly in density, an inversion of polarity, the frequent occurrence of autophagic vacuoles, the thickening of cell walls, a centripetal growth mode of wall formation, the appearance of an incomplete cell wall, free nuclear division, amitosis and degeneration. We believe that these ultrastructural peculiarities are the effects of in vitro culture.

    Notes: Summary Our investigations on Canna indica L. indicate that the pollen of this species is polymorphic: there are two types of pollen — a larger type and a comparatively smaller type. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the presence of small vacuoles containing tannic substances in the generative cell (GC) of the larger grains: the GC of the mature grain contained a higher quantity of tannins than the GC of the immature grain. Mitochondria, lipid bodies, rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and microtubular bundles were present in the cytoplasm of the GC. Numerous mitochondria, lipid bodies and plastids were also present in the vegetative cell (VC), with the mitochondria clustered around the vegetative nucleus. The plastids were observed to be associated with the RER cisterns. During the maturation process, the number of starch grains contained in the plastids decreased.

    Notes: Abstract The relationship between maximal oxygen consumption rate ( $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ ) and mitochondrial content of skeletal muscles was examined in horses and steers (n=3 each). Samples of the heart left ventricle, diaphragm,m. vastus medialis, m. semitendinosus, m. cutaneous thoracicus andm. masseter, as well as samples of muscles collected in a whole-body sampling procedure, were analyzed by electron microscopy. $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ per kilogram body mass was 2.7× greater in horses than steers. This higher $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ was in proportion to the higher total volume of mitochondria in horse versus steer muscle when analyzed from the whole-body samples and from the locomotor muscle samples. In non-locomotor muscles, total mitochondrial volume was greater in horses than steers, but not in proportion to their differences in $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ . The $$\dot V{\text{O}}_{{\text{2max}}}$$ of the mitochondria was estimated to be close to 4.5 ml O2·ml−1 mitochondria in both species. It is concluded that in a comparison of a highly aerobic to a less aerobic mammalian species of similar body size, a higher oxidative potential may be found in all muscles of the more aerobic species. This greater oxidative potential is achieved by a greater total volume of skeletal muscle mitochondria.

    Notes: Summary Sinusoidal macrophages were studied by light and electron microscopy in 49 liver biopsies from alcohol-abusers with a variety of alcohol-related liver lesions or with near-normal livers. Changes were related to those in nearby hepatocytes. A reduction in the number of macrophages was noted in the more severely damaged livers. Hepatocytes formed blebs at their sinusoidal poles, and these protruded into the space of Disse and into the sinusoidal lumen. It is postulated that reduced phagocytic activity in the livers of patients with severe alcohol-related liver disease leads to increased shedding of hepatocellular material into the circulation. This may promote the development of autoimmune reactions directed against hepatocytes.

    Notes: Summary Intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa occurs commonly in aged Japanese patients and has been discussed in relation to the high incidence of gastric cancer in Japanese. Ciliated cells in the gastric mucosa have frequently been found in association with intestinal metaplasia in the pyloric gland and rarely in the cardiac gland in many Japanese patients, and exceptionally in one Chinese and in one Swedish patient. Electron microscopic examination of 12 Japanese patients has revealed that these structures are not metaplastic stereocilia, but true cilia. Ciliated cells have been found in the basal part of the gastric glands and never in the surface epithelium. The fine structure of the gastric cilia was almost the same as that of normal respiratory cilia. However, in the gastric cilia, most dynein arms were inconspicuous even after tannic acid fixation, indicating that ciliary beating of the gastric cilia is problematic. Abnormal cilia and basal bodies also were found. Ciliated cells have always occurred in association with intestinal metaplasia, therefore this phenomenon might be a type of metaplasia and is named “ciliated metaplasia” of the gastric mucosa.

    Notes: Summary Unusual electron-dense paracrystalline inclusions were found in metaplastic ciliated cells in the stomachs of three Japanese male patients with gastric carcinoma. These patients had not been given antitumour drugs before surgery and ethrane (enflurane) was used as the anaesthetic. Ciliated cells in the gastric mucosa are found not infrequently in the pyloric glands in association with intestinal metaplasia in elderly Japanese patients. Paracrystalline inclusions were found only in the ciliated cells and never in any other types of gastric mucosal cell. These inclusions were located in the apical portion of the ciliated cells in intimate association with the basal bodies. They consisted of twisted strings about 27 nm wide with a regularly repeated spacing of about 30 nm. On highly magnified electron micrographs, granules about 4 nm in diameter were detected. These paracrystalline inclusions have never been reported previously, although their location in ciliated cells and their morphological characteristics suggest an intimate relationship with the ciliogenesis of metaplastic ciliated cells in the human stomach.

    Notes: Summary We studied five cases of central nervous system neuronal tumor, one gangliocytoma and four gangliogliomas, both ultrastructurally and immuno-histochemically, using antibodies to neuroendocrine markers including tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), serotonin (5HT), somatostatin (SOM), met-enkephalin (MEK), leu-enkephalin (LEK), substance P (SP), gastrin, vasopressin, oxytocin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, adrenocorticotropic hormone and calcitonin. In all cases, the presence of dense-core vesicles (60–250 nm) in the neuronal elements was the characteristic ultrastructural finding. Synapses were observed in two cases. Immunohistochemically, variable numbers of neuronal cells showed positive staining for SOM in five cases, TH, MEK and LEK in three cases, and 5HT and SP in one case each. The others were negative. Positive immunoreactivity for multiple markers was shown in all cases. SOM, TH, 5HT and SP were present in the small- to medium-sized cells, while MEK and LEK were almost exclusively confined to the large cells. Our study clearly indicated that these tumors contained neuronal cells which were not homogeneous with regard to neuroendocrine markers.

    Acute ultrastructural response of hypoxic hypoxia with relative ischemia in the isolated brain (1989)

    Notes: Summary The acute cortical response to surgical brain isolation and subsequent extracorporal normoxic or 30 min hypoxic (PaO2=20 mm Hg) perfusions (hypoxic hypoxia with relative ischemia) was evaluated. Cerebral blood flow, arterial pH and CO2 were maintained constant during both perfusions; only the arterial oxygen content was changed. The isolated brain model used in this and previous investigations produces no qualitative ultrastructural changes in the neocortex following brain isolation and normoxic perfusion. However, the acute cortical structural response to 30 min of hypoxic hypoxia with relative ischemia demonstrated a number of important observations. Hypoxic hypoxia produced ultrastructural responses common to cerebral ischemia such as nuclear chromatin clumping, nucleolar condensation and cytoskeletal breakdown. Although neuronal abnormalities seen after 30 min of hypoxic hypoxia were similar to those acute neuronal changes observed following complete cerebral ischemia without recirculation, they differed three ways: (a) mitochondrial swelling and microvacuolation were observed in many cortical pyramidal neurons. (b) Glycogen particles within astroglial processes were observed even after a 30-min period of hypoxic hypoxia. (c) Perivascular astroglial swelling was minimal despite considerable perineuronal swelling. In contrast, incomplete cerebral ischemia produces mitochondrial changes similar to those in hypoxic hypoxia but also causes the depletion of tissue glycogen and perivascular glial swelling. Thus, hypoxic hypoxia with relative ischemia produces a unique acute ultrastructural response compared to either complete or incomplete cerebral ischemia.

    Notes: Summary The initial ultrastructural changes in skeletal myofibers in ovine muscular dystrophy (MD) consisted of focal degeneration of myofibrils and the formation of Z-disc abnormalities, including nemaline rods, in adjacent sarcomeres. Peripheral and central sarcoplasmic masses, which occurred initially in large diameter fibers, contained a mixture of normal organelles and abnormal tubular and fibrillar formations. Vesiculate sarcolemmal nuclei with prominent nucleoli accumulated in central and subsarcolemmal locations in small clusters and short rows. Deformed individual nuclei were sometimes present within nuclear rows. Loss of the myofibrillar mass, increased density of small spherical nuclei, collections of fibrillar and tubular arrays, excessive folding of the sarcolemma and greatly reduced fiber diameter were seen in the end stage of the dystrophic process. Resting satellite cells were present at all stages of lesion development. The morphological progression of the lesions suggested an inherited inability to effectively replace lost myofibrils with ultimate exhaustion of the capacity for repair followed by pathological fiber atrophy.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The innervation pattern of the paratympanic organ was studied by TEM. The paratympanic organ is a small tapering vesicle, typical of birds, situated in the medial wall of the tympanic cavity; it contains hair cells which are similar to type II receptors of the acoustic-lateral system; these cells are characterised by synapses which are not only afferent and efferent, as previously described, but also reciprocal with efferent fibers. Our observation revealed some efferent nerve fibers which form a relationship with hair cells containing synaptic bodies situated next to the plasma membrane and near the fibers themselves. Since synaptic bodies are commonly considered to be the site where the transmission of the impulse from the receptor to the nerve fiber takes place, our pictures suggest that the efferent fibers and hair cells may be either presynaptic or postsynaptic with respect to each other in the paratympanic organ. The hypothesis is formulated that reciprocal synapses allow interaction between hair cells, thus determining an increase in the contrast of information sent by the paratympanic organ to the CNS.

    Notes: Summary The structural changes of the cecal wall in germfree rats were observed at regular intervals after the inoculation of fecal microflora from conventional rats. Quantitative light microscopy showed that most of the elements in the cecal wall increased at 12 or 24 h and reached peak values at 4 days after inoculation. On the 7th day, they decreased approximately to the values for conventional rats. The crypts were bent or widely open till 24 h but were not after the 4th day. Hyperplasia of the crypt epithelial cells including mucous-type cells was observed following microbial inoculation. Electron microscopy revealed that most of the epithelial cells lining the mucosa were typical columnar cells. Desquamation of the epithelial cells and contraction of the muscle fibers were often seen on 4th day. The mucous-type cells were divided into two types, goblet and non-goblet mucous-type cells. Reduction of cecal volume after microbial inoculation may be mainly caused by muscle contraction in the early period and hyperplasia and desquamation of the epithelial cells may suggest their role as the first and non-specific defense line prior to operation of the specific immune system.

    Notes: Summary An ultrastructural study of the skin lesion of a young patient affected by pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma of the Bluefarb-Stewart type (BSS) is reported. The neoplasm consisted of a proliferation of vascular structures mostly consisting of a solid bud of endothelial cells surrounded by a thinned and polystratified basement membrane and several pericytes. Both endothelial cells and pericytes were of normal ultrastructural appearance. Intervascular “stromal” cells were few and morphologically identified as macrophages and/or phagocytic fibroblasts. Masses of hemosiderin were detected outside the cells and in the macrophages, endothelial cells, and pericytes. Intracytoplasmatic crystalloid inclusions similar to those found in fetal endothelium and hemangiomas were observed in a few endothelial cells. These findings are different from those of previously reported cases of pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma and may be helpful in distinguishing Kaposi's sarcoma from BSS. The role of immunodeficiency in the onset of BSS is discussed.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the immunohistochemical reactivity and ultrastructure of both neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) occurring with severe neurofibrillary diseases, and Pick bodies (PBs) associated with Pick's disease. The NFTs and PBs did not react immunohistochemically with the anti-nonphosphorylated neurofilament monoclonal antibody irrespective of whether they were pretreated with alkaline phosphatase. In granular neurons of the dentate fascia of Ammon's horn in cases of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), NFTs either resembled PB-like inclusion bodies (Horoupian's inclusion bodies) in form, or had a perinuclear structure. Immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally, the NFTs in the dentate fascia in cases of DAT, including Horoupian's inclusion bodies, were similar to the NFTs in the pyramidal neurons of Ammon's horn, which are found most frequently in association with severe neurofibrillary diseases. Under a light microscope, Horoupian's inclusion bodies and PBs could not be differentiated and appeared to be argyrophilic round cytoplasmic inclusions in granular neurons of the dentate fascia. There were, however, ultrastructural differences. Horoupian's inclusion bodies consisted of bundles made up of straight tubules (STs), each about 15 nm in diameter. These bundles were intermixed with a few paired helical filaments which occurred at intervals of about 80 nm. On the other hand, PBs were composed of randomly distributed 15-nm-wide STs, intermixed with a very few fibrillary structures. These fibrils had a periodicity of about 160 nm, and ranged in width from about 15 nm to 30 nm. Horoupian's inclusion bodies associated with DAT and PBs associated with Pick's disease are different in this neuropathological aspect. The NFTs, including Horoupian's inclusion bodies in the dentate fascia in cases of DAT, are considered to be a manifestation of neurofibrillary degeneration.

    Notes: Summary A novel type of non-viral cytoplasmic inclusion is described, which was seen in virtually every neuron in the brain and spinal cord of a child with a presumed metabolic disorder whose clinical picture and CNS pathology were compatible with Leigh Syndrome. The ovoid to round inclusions were sharply demarcated, measuring up to 11 μm in diameter. They showed no distinctive staining with a battery of routine histological techniques. The ultrastructural features are unique, comprising non-membrane-bounded aggregates of randomly oriented plate-like structures with parallel linear densities depicting a periodicity of 11–16 nm. Immunocytochemical studies revealed strong staining with antisera to tropomyosin and weaker staining with antisera to actin. There was no reactivity with antibodies against neurofilaments, microtubules and their associated proteins, paired helical filaments, ubiquitin, vinculin or alpha-actinin. It is postulated that the metabolic disorder resulted in a neurodegenerative condition which manifested pathologically with lesions compatible with those of Leigh Syndrome. Associated with the condition was the discrete accumulation of cytoplasmic proteinaceous components, including tropomyosin, in the form of neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions possibly resulting from an alteration of the neuronal cytoskeleton.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural studies of 17 primary malignant CNS lymphomas revealed 6 tumors with abnormal intracytoplasmic and/or intranuclear membranous structures, most frequently, associated with the endoplasmic reticulum or perinuclear envelope. In most cases, tubuloreticular inclusions and paired cisternae were present. Less frequent were accumulation of mictotubules, concentric lamellar bodies, and rod-like or paracrystalline intranuclear inclusions. The specificity and significance of these membranous structures remain questionable because of their frequent occurrence in a variety of normal and pathological conditions. Some of these changes may be considered as cellular reactions to viral infections, others may indicate cellular activity or degeneration.

    Notes: Summary A case of a melanotic neuroectodermal tumor arising from pineal region of a 4-year-old girl is presented. The tumor had spread diffusely to the meninges, consistent with malignant behavior. Histologically, the tumor consisted primarily of epithelial elements arranged in tubules, cords and nests separated by fibrous vascular tissue in addition to a small neuroblastomatous focus. Melanin pigment was frequently observed in the epithelial tumor cells, and melanin-laden macrophages were also often observed. No teratoid elements were found. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for neuron-specific enolase but were nonreactive for S-100 protein, epithelial membrane antigen, glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin, α-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotrophin. Ultrastructurally, the epithelial nature of the tumor cells could be easily demonstrated. In addition, melanosomes in various stages in maturation were observed, indicating melanogenesis of the tumor. On the basis of the tumor location and the histological similarities previously observed for the fetal pineal body, it is very likely that this melanotic epithelial tumor could have originated from the fetal pineal gland.

    Notes: Summary 2,4-Dithiobiuret was given i.p. to rats for 4 days at a daily dosage of 1 mg/kg and the development of the lesion associated with neuromuscular dysfunction studied in hindlimb lumbrical muscles. The first morphological indication of neurointoxication was the appearance in some motor endplates of masses of branching tubular smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) on day 2 which correlated with the initial functional disturbances. By the 3rd day, most motor endplates were distended by accumulations of densecored, lucent and synaptic vesicles, abnormally swollen mitochondria, intermediate filaments and branching, tubular SER. Evidence of collateral axonal sprouting was seen first at this time. On days 4 and 5, many motor endplates were markedly enlarged and showed axoplasmic organelle congestion. A significant increase in synaptic vesicle size was noted at these times in some terminals. Interposition of Schwann cell processes between the pre- and postsynaptic membranes and terminal retraction was now evident. Some intramuscular nerves showed hydropic Schwann cell cytoplasm with separation of the outermost myelin lamellae, mitochondrial swelling and adaxonal vacuoles as early as the 1st day. Proliferation and segregation of SER around central cores of neurofilaments was seen in myelinated nerve fibres and preterminals on the 3rd day. At this and later times accumulations of SER and swollen mitochondria were found at sites of axonal varicosities and at the paranodal constrictions at nodes of Ranvier. These ultrastructural data are discussed with regard to reduced terminal Ca2+ content (demonstrated by oxalate-pyroantimonate cytochemistry) and compared with the sequelae of botulinum intoxication.

    Notes: Summary We report finding tubuloreticular inclusions (TRI) in the endothelial cells of endo- and epineurial vessels in the sural nerve of 11 patients with AIDS. Six patients had a painful peripheral neuropathy, one a non-painful sensory neuropathy, one an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and one a thalidomide-related neuropathy. Two patients had no clinical evidence of neuropathy. The TRI are not specific to one neuropathy and are unlikely to contribute to the pathogenesis of peripheral nerve syndromes in AIDS.

    Notes: Summary Heifers were superovulated by PMSG or FSH, and oestrus was induced by prostaglandin. One group of animals was ovariectomized 19–26 h after the LH peak, the content of preovulatory follicles aspirated, and the oocytes processed for in vitro fertilization. Another group was inseminated and ova were collected from the oviducts for study of in vivo fertilization. All ova were examined ultrastructurally. The developmental rate following in vitro fertilization was delayed compared to fertilization in vivo. A high proportion of the in vitro fertilized ova showed polyspermic penetration of the zona pellucida, and supernumerary spermatozoa were found in the ooplasm of some ova. In vivo fertilization was associated with release and subsequent dispersal of the cortical granule content in the perivitelline space. In contrast to this the released granule content of the in vitro fertilized ova remained undispersed close to the oolemma. This feature may account for the high incidence of polyspermic penetration of the zona pellucida. In addition, the study provided an ultrastructural visualization of the initial contact between the equatorial segment of the spermatozoon and the microvilli of the oocyte, and the subsequent internalization of the sperm head.

    Notes: Summary The effects of continuous light on ultrastructural organization and sympathetic secretory responses of the rat parotid gland are reported. After 50 days of continuous light exposure, the fine structure of the parotid gland exhibited features of enhanced secretory activity as judged by the striking development of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes, the depletion of secretory granules and the increased turnover of secretory cells. The secretory responses of parotid gland to isoproterenol revealed that continuous light induced a 30% increase in amylase release. This secretory hyperactivity appears to be related to a postsynaptic supersensitivity of sympathetic fibers of the autonomic nervous system.

The number of mono — versus binucleate cells was found to vary with stage of development with about 40% of the cells being binucleate in adult animals and 50% in late prenatal stage. No difference in ultrastructure was observed between the nuclei of the two cell types. The binucleate cells contain twice the amount of DNA found in the mononucleate cells.

    Notes: Summary This study examined developmental changes in fetal membranes and placenta of Cercopithecus aethiops from a Carnegie developmental stage 12 embryo to nearterm fetuses. Ultrastructurally, yolk sac cells (endoderm and mesothelium) were similar to comparable stages in other primates. Endodermal cells had few apical microvilli, abundant rough-endoplasmic reticulum, electron dense mitochondria and dense bodies. In contrast, mesothelial cells were squamous with numerous microvilli, small mitochondria and a few short strands of rough endoplasmic reticulum. Amnion cells early in gestation were squamous with few microvilli, large glycogen deposits and poorly developed cytoplasmic components. Tight junctions and desmosomes held adjacent cells together. The basal surface was smooth and the basal lamina was distinct. As development proceeded the amniotic cells became cuboidal and possessed numerous microvilli. Cytoplasmic organelles were better developed and glycogen deposits increased by mid-gestation. A thick layer of microfibrils and collagen fibers was prominent below the basal lamina. Near-term, the glycogen had virtually disappeared and the amount of lipid droplets increased. Basal infoldings and podocytic processes and the extracellular matrix had increased. The smooth chorion consisted of pseudostratified columnar cells. Cells had short microvilli, numerous granules and vesicles of variable size and electron density in early gestation. With increasing age, amounts of granules and vesicles decreased, as the endoplasmic reticulum became prominent. The chorionic trophoblast was a continuous layer in mid-pregnancy and its cells had well-developed organelles and inclusions. Late in gestation, the trophoblastic layer became discontinuous and wide intercellular spaces and channels were present. In the placenta, the trophoblastic elements showed features characteristic of primate placenta.

    Notes: Summary The digestive tract of Testudo graeca (Chelonia) was investigated by means of electron microscopy using both conventional and immunocytochemical techniques. EC-, L-, D-, G-, B-, N- and EC-L-cells were detected. These cells share several common ultrastructural characteristics with the endocrine cells of mammals (i.e. clear cytoplasm, prominent Golgi apparatus, secretory granules etc.). EC and D1 cells have so far not been described in the esophagus of any animal species; in the present study these cells have been observed in the esophagus of T. graeca. Of special interest was the presence of B-cells in the intestine, suggesting that the migration of B-cells from the gut to the pancreas to constitute pancreatic islets is not concluded in T. graeca. The present study demonstrates that the gut endocrine system of T. graeca is a complex structure containing a large variety of endocrine cell types similar in morphology to those found in higher vertebrates.

    Notes: Summary The present study described the normal ultrastructure of the monkey pineal gland. The gland was composed of the principal pinealocytes, intramural neurons and glial cells. The nucleus of the pinealocytes was deeply infolded with evenly distributed chromatin materials. The abundant cytoplasm was rich in organelles including the well-developed Golgi apparatuses, multivesicular bodies, dense-cored vesicles and widely scattered free and polyribosomes. A variety of axon terminals was observed and the majority of them contained pleomorphic agranular vesicles with a few large dense-cored vesicles. A few terminals showed flattened vesicles or small dense cored vesicles. Some of the axon terminals formed synaptic contacts with the cell bodies of pinealocytes. These synapses were mainly concentrated in the posterior third of the gland. The occasional intramural neurons observed were postsynaptic to axon terminals containing round agranular vesicles. The sources of the nerve fibres and terminals forming synaptic junctions with pinealocytes and intramural neurons were discussed.

    Notes: Summary The yolk platelets ofXenopus laevis have been studied by thin-section and freeze-fracture electron microscopy to characterize the boundary membrane during yolk formation. Throughout vitellogenesis, large yolk platelets are in close contact with smaller nascent yolk organelles. Two types of primordial yolk platelets (I and II) have been discriminated. After membrane fusion these precursors can be completely incorporated into the main body of existing platelets, numerous yolk crystals then merge and form one uniformly stratified core. Lipid droplets are tightly attached to the membrane at all developmental stages of yolk platelets. A direct connection of endoplasmic reticulum to the membranes of yolk platelets was not observed. On freezeetching replicas, yolk-platelet membranes present fracture faces with intramembranous particles (IMP) of various sizes and a heterogeneous distribution of approximately 200–600 IMP/μm2 at the E face, and 1200–2100 IMP/μm2 at the P face. Again, this presentation of the membrane exhibits neither anastomoses to the endoplasmic reticulum, nor caveolae that exclude the uptake of yolk-containing vesicles into these yolk organelles. Proteinaceous yolk platelets tend to fracture along their periphery through the superficial layers.

Both enzymes were located predominantly at the cell membrane. Whole cells displayed minimal F420-dependent formate dehydrogenase activity or F420-dependent hydrogenase activity, and little activity was released upon osmotic shock treatment, suggesting that these enzymes are not soluble periplasmic proteins. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of the formate dehydrogenase subunits revealed no hydrophobic regions that could qualify as putative membrane-spanning domains.

    Notes: Abstract Alkoxyacetic acids are metabolically formed and excreted in urine after exposure to ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers (alkoxyethanols) or their acetate esters. This paper presents a sensitive method based on extractive alkylation for determination of alkoxyacetic acids in urine. Alkoxyacetate ions were extracted from 200 μl urine into methylene chloride, with tetrabutylammonium acting as counter ion, and derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide in a single step. After separation of the methylene chloride phase, evaporation, and dissolution of the residues in hexane the esters were analyzed by fused silica capillary column gas chromatography and electron capture detection. The esters formed were stable for at least 2 weeks at room temperature. The limit of quantification was estimated to 2 μM (corresponding to an injected amount of 2 pg) for methoxyacetic (MAA) and ethoxyacetic acid (EAA) in urine. The corresponding values for butoxyacetic acid (BAA) were 4 μM and 5 pg, respectively. The detector response was linear up to 80 μM and the formation of derivative at least up to 1 mM. The method error may be reduced by using a second alkoxyacetic acid derivative, EAA, BAA or 2-pentoxyacetic acid (PAA), as an internal standard. The sensitivity, stability, reduced number of extractions, and small volumes of reagents and sample needed make the present method useful in biomonitoring of occupational exposure to ethylene glycol ethers.

    Notes: Summary In freshly fixed biopsies of human cerebral cortex obtained at surgery, immunocytochemical staining with antibodies against tyrosine hydroxylase (the rate limiting biosynthetic enzyme for catecholamines) revealed, in addition to a dense axonal plexus, a population of immunoreactive cell bodies. The neuronal nature of these cells was ascertained by: i) the presence of a rich rough endoplasmic reticulum in the cell body and of synapses on the cell body and dendrites, and ii) the demonstration of the lack of reactivity with the astroglial marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein, in the tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive cells. The tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons were found in all areas of cortex sampled, and were located almost exclusively in the infragranular layers. Most tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive cells were bipolar and were vertically oriented, but a few had a multipolar or horizontal dendritic arbor. The dendrites of these cells were varicose and aspiny, and the axons were very thin. Tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons were reported to be present transiently in the developing mammalian cerebral cortex and only recently in cerebral cortex of mature mammalian brains. Internuncial neurons in the human cerebral cortex containing a catecholamine synthesizing enzyme would be significant, in particular considering that catecholamines are likely to be involved in some major mental disorders.

    Notes: Summary Light and electron microscopic analysis of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-like immunoreactive (LI) terminals in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and the central nucleus of the amygdala (Ce) was carried out using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. CGRP-LI fibers were densely distributed in the dorsal subdivision of the lateral BST (BSTL) and the lateral and lateral capsular subdivisions of the Ce, where the CGRP-LI terminals formed symmetrical and asymmetrical axo-dendritic, and symmetrical axosomatic synapses. One of the most characteristic features of the CGRP-LI terminals was the presence of large, long boutons, each of which surrounded a cell soma and made many synaptic contacts. These findings suggest that CGRP exerts a significant influence on neurons in the BSTL and Ce.

    Notes: Abstract By using sodium thioglycolate to dissolve the high amount of excreted stalk material in axenic cultures of the chemolithoautotrophic iron bacterium Gallionella ferruginea, the ultrastructure of Gallionella cells from pure cell suspensions could be studied without any loss of viability or disturbance by dense ferric stalk fibers, and compared with Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, also grown chemolithoautotrophically with ferrous iron as energy source. Both organisms were chemically fixed or freeze-etched. Particular structural differences between these iron-bacteria could be ascertained. G. ferruginea possesses intracytoplasmic membranes and soluble d-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate-carboxylase, whereas T. ferrooxidans contains carboxysomes but no intracytoplasmic membranes; Gallionella forms poly-β-hydroxybutyrate and glycogen as storage material; T. ferrooxidans produces only glycogen. Both organisms also differ from each other with respect to the freeze fracture behaviour of the cell envelope layers. Whereas the cells of T. ferrooxidans exhibit a characteristic double cleavage, exposing the plasmic fracture face and exoplasmic fracture face of the outer membrane and cytoplasmic membrane, the exceptionally thin multilayered cell envelope of G. ferruginea revealed a particularly intimate association between the layers, resulting in a visualisation of the supramolecular organisation of only the inner fracture face of the cytoplasmic membrane. The results are discussed predominantly in relation to the extremely distinct environments of both organisms.

    Notes: Abstract Microscopic examination of the whitish mat that covered the substrata around subtidal hydrothermal vents at White Point in southern California revealed a “Thiothrix-like” bacterium containing sulfur inclusions as the dominant filamentous form in this microbial community. The matlike appearance developed as a result of the closely-packed manner inwhich the basal ends of the filaments were anchored to the substrate. The dominant phospholipid fatty acids of these filaments (16:0, 16:1w7c, 18:0, 18:1w7c) were similar to those recovered from a sample of Beggiatoa isolated from a spring in Florida. Filaments from both sources contained small quantities of C18 and C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well. A larger but less abundant sheathless, filamentous form, which also contained sulfur inclusions and displayed a cell wall structure similar to a previously described Thioploca strain, also colonized the substrata around the subtidal mat. The preservation methods used in the preparation of thin-sections of the subtidal mat material were found to be inadequate for defining some key cellular structures of the large filaments. Nevertheless, the results demonstrate that the filamentous bacteria comprising the microbial mat in the vicinity of the subtidal vents exhibit some of the features of the free-living filamentous microorganisms found in deep-water hydrothermal areas.

    Notes: Summary Islet amyloid polypeptide is a novel 37 amino-acid-residues polypeptide which has been isolated from amyloid deposits in an insulinoma, and in human and cat islets of Langerhans. The molecule has 46% homology with the calcitonin gene-related peptide. Light microscopy examination of the pancreas shows that islet amyloid polypeptide immunoreactivity is restricted to the islet B cells. The present study utilized a rabbit antiserum against a synthetic peptide corresponding to positions 20–29 of islet amyloid polypeptide, a sequence without any amino-acid identity with calcitonin gene-related peptide. By applying the immunogold technique at the ultrastructural level, it was shown that both insulin and islet amyloid polypeptide immunoreactivity occurs in the central granular core of the human B cell secretory granules, while the A cells remain unlabelled. The demonstration that islet amyloid polypeptide is a granular protein of the B cells may indicate that it is released together with insulin. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the functional role of islet amyloid polypeptide.

    Cell mediated calcification in collagen gel cultures of fetal rat calvaria cells. Loss of gap junctions precedes calcification (1989)

    Notes: Summary To analyze the mechanism of initiation of cell-mediated calcification in hard tussue and its relationship to the frequency of gap junctions, enzymatically isolated cells from fetal rat calvaria cultured in collagen gels were observed ultrastructurally over a time course. Calcification was observed at 2–3 weeks after the initiation of culture when the seeding cellularity and the concentration of β-glycerophosphate were sufficiently high. In the collagen gels, round cells (R), spindle or stellate cells (S), and fat cells (F) were characterised morphologically. The ultrastructural features of initial calcification could be classified into 4 subtypes: 1) a large mass greater than 10 µm in diameter (Type I), 2) deposition associated with dead R cells or matrix vesicles (Type II), 3) intracellular deposition (Type III), and 4) other than Types I–III (Type IV). Type II was the most frequent (44.5%) and Type III was the least (6.8%). Gap junction was observed frequently between 1) R cells, 2) S cells, 3) between R cells and S cells. The frequency of gap junctions in collagen gels decreased statistically (X2-test; p〈0.001), when calcification was initiated. This cell culture system can be regarded as a useful model to analyze the initiation of cell mediated calcification in hard tissue. Gap junctions might function in cell communication and a decrease in their numbers could lead to cell death and, subsequently to calcification.

    Notes: Summary A sensitive and specific method for the determination in urine of alkoxyacetic acids, the metabolites of ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, was developed by combining the advantages of two previously described methods. The acids were determined gas chromatographically as their pentafluorobenzylesters. The alkylation with pentafluorobenzylbromide was performed after dissolving the dry residue of lyophilized urine in methanol. Quantitative derivatization was obtained when the urinary pH was adjusted to pH 7.0, when the reagent concentration was 5% v/v, and when the reaction mixture was heated at 90°C for 3 h. Sample clean-up was performed by adding bidistilled water and the esters were extracted with methylene chloride with high yields (95%). Alkoxyacetic acid concentrations in the range of 0.1 to 200 mg/l could be determined with an average imprecision of ± 3.5%.

    The role of kinetosome-associated organelles in the attachment of encysting secondary zoospores ofSaprolegnia ferax to substrates (1989)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Electron and fluorescence microscopy were used to identify organelles involved in attachment of secondary zoospores ofSaprolegnia ferax as they were transformed into secondary cysts. When secondary zoospores were exposed to 1.0% peptone in the absence or presence of a substrate, they began to encyst. If substrates were present when encystment was induced, the groove surface of the secondary zoospores adhered to them. The first event in attachment was secretion of contents of the kinetosome-associated organelle (K-body), which was typically oriented with the tubule-filled cavity positioned toward the cell surface of the groove region in the zoospore. The tubules which contained carbohydrates became coarsely granular, the matrix became more fibrous, and the shell remained along the membrane concavity that was formed as the K-body fused with the plasma membrane. Five minutes later, a cyst coat appeared, and cysts were not readily dislodged from a substrate. The concavity was no longer found, presumably because it had evaginated; but a layered pad of adhesion material was between the cyst coat and substrate. The layers of the adhesion pad corresponded to the structure of the matrix of K-bodies. As with the tubules of the K-body, the coarsely granular portion at the edge of the pad stained for carbohydrates. Similarly, the lectins WGA and GS-II labeled with fluorescein stained the rim of the adhesion pad on cysts, indicating the presence of glycoconjugates containing N-acetylglucosamines. Because globular areas near the kinetosomes and groove of zoospores (where K-bodies were located) also bound WGA and GS-II, K-bodies contained the same carbohydrates as the adhesion pad. We conclude that K-bodies function in the attachment of encysting zoospores to substrates as the cell differentiates. The tubular portion of the K-body matrix contains carbohydrates which might assist in the adhesion process.

    The cytoskeletal involvement in cellularization of theDrosophila melanogaster embryo (1989)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The distribution and arrangement of cytoskeletal components in the early embryo ofDrosophila melanogaster were examined by thin-section electron microscopy to elucidate their involvement in the formation of the cellular blastoderm, a process called cellularization. During the final nuclear division in the cortex of the syncytial blastoderm bundles of astral microtubules were closely associated with the surface plasma membrane along the midline where a new gutter was initiated. Thus the new gutter together with the pre-formed ones compartmentalized the embryo surface to reflect underlying individual daughter nuclei. Subsequently such gutters became deeper by further invagination of the plasma membrane between adjacent nuclei to form so-called cleavage furrows. Nuclei simultaneously elongated in the direction perpendicular to the embryo surface and numerous microtubules from the centrosomes ran longitudinally between the nucleus and the cleavage furrow. Microtubules often appeared to be in close association with the nuclear envelope and the cleavage furrow membrane. The plasma membrane at the advancing tip of the furrow was always undercoated with an electron-dense layer, which could be shown to be mainly composed of 5–6 nm microfilaments. These microfilaments were decorated with H-meromyosin to be identified as actin filaments. As cleavage proceeded, each nucleus with its perikaryon became demarcated by the furrow membrane, which then extended laterally to constrict the cytoplasmic connection between each newly forming cell and the central yolk region. The cytoplasmic strand thus formed possessed a prominent circular bundle of microfilaments which were also decorated with H-meromyosin and bidirectionally arranged, similar in structure to the contractile ring in cytokinesis. These observations strongly suggest that both microtubules and actin filaments play a crucial role in cellularization ofDrosophila embryos.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural observations reveal that the spermatozoids of the hornwortsNotothylas andPhaeoceros contain two mitochondria and not one as described previously. Mitochondrial ontogeny and nuclear metamorphosis during spermiogenesis in these plants differ from all other archegoniates. The discovery that the posterior region of the coiled nucleus (when viewed from the anterior aspect) lies to the left of the anterior, in striking contrast to the dextral coiling of the nucleus of spermatozoids of other embryophytes, underlines the isolated nature of the hornworts among land plants. As the blepharoplast develops, the numerous ovoid mitochondria initially present in the nascent spermatid fuse to form a single elongated organelle which is positioned subjacent to the MLS and extends down between the nucleus and plastid. At the onset of nuclear metamorphosis, the solitary mitochondrion has separated into a larger anterior mitochondrion (AM) associated with the MLS and a much smaller posterior mitochondrion (PM) adjacent to the plastid. The PM retains its association with the plastid and both organelles migrate around the periphery of the cell as the spline MTs elongate. By contrast, in moss spermatids, where mitochondria undergo similar fusion and division, the AM is approximately the same size as the PM and the latter is never associated with the spline. As in other archegoniates, except mosses, spline elongation precedes nuclear metamorphosis in hornworts. Irregular strands of condensed chromatin compact basipetally to produce an elongated cylindrical nucleus which is narrower in its mid-region. During this process excess nucleoplasm moves rearward. It eventually overarches the inner surface of the plastid and entirely covers the PM.

    Notes: Summary Developing protophloem sieve elements in roots of wheat are arranged in single vertical files. In the last immature differentiating sieve element bearing ribosomes the proximal end of the cytoplasm displays a diluted appearance in contrast to the distal end where the cytoplasm exhibits a considerably increased electron density. Differences can also be observed in ribosome quantity, organelle ultrastructure and the time of initiation of cell component degradation, those at the proximal end disorganizing first, suggesting a nonsimultaneous disorganization of the cell components in the two areas. This phenomenon, termedheterochronic lysis, is presumably an expression of an existing polarity not detectable in younger stages, but it might also be the result of an asynchronous enzymatic activity.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural events in 3-cellular pollen grains ofApium nodiflorum L. are investigated during pollen maturation. Three distinct developmental stages are distinguished from the formation of sperm cells up to anthesis, whereby the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is mainly involved. The most conspicious form is the highly dilated RER in the vegetative cytoplasm of the youngest pollen grains, which changes to vesicular RER in the following stage. In mature pollen grains the RER has a narrow cisternal configuration and often forms stacks. Pollen activation is preceded by the accumulation of polysaccharide particles.

    Notes: Summary We examined the influence exerted, through disuse of the hindlimb, on the collagen fibres of the achilles tendon in rats. With disuse the body mass decreased by 28%, and the mass of soleus muscle decreased by 20%. A decrease in the surface area and diameter was observed in the experimental group when compared to the control group. A histogram of the collagen fibres showed a decrease of the thick fibres in the experimental group. The maximum surface area of collagen fibres in the experimental group was seen to be only 43% of that of the control group. These results showed a decrease in the thickness of the collagen fibres of the achilles tendon through disuse. This seemed to suggest that resistance to tension is decreased by disuse.

Even from the FAME pattern falsifications of commercial animal fats can be revealed by the fast separation of the FAME using a standard CW 20 M (polyethyleneglycol) capillary column. Characteristic patterns of FAME originating from different animals are shown. The patterns of the FAME from different races of the same animal are very similar, so that the characterisation according to the type of animal is not disturbed.

Because of its design isobaric injection conditions do not have to be followed and a wide range of injection temperatures above the boiling point of the sample solvent can be chosen for on-column injections in capillary gas chromatography. Also, when following certain basic injection rules, injections of large sample volumes (≥20 μl or more) give accurate and reproducible results without further problems.

    Notes: Summary The free energy of partition of a methylene group $$\Delta G_{CH_2 }^ \circ $$ is constant within a homologous series down to C5 and nearly constant to C3, contrary to the finding of Golovnya and Grigoryeva [5]. Retention indices are linear with carbon number: values may be extrapolated from higher carbon numbers to C5 within experimental uncertainty, to C4 with error no greater than 5 units and to C3 with error no greater than 10 units. Error in extrapolating the logarithm of the adjusted retention time, log t′R, to C5 is thus negligible, to C4 has possible error up to 5b/100 and to C3 up to 10b/100, whereb is the slope of the plot of log t′R against carbon number.

A computer-modified mapping procedure is also described for searching the optimum separation conditions. Just five experiments and about 20 minutes of the computer time are needed to establish the optima of column temperature and of the carrier gas linear velocity. The relative deviation between the predicted and the experimental values was found to be within 20% for the plate heights, and within 1.5% for the retention times.

    Notes: Summary Air sampling of methylbromide using 900 mg HBr-treated activated charcoal tubes, followed by solvent desorption and FID or ECD chromatographic analysis, makes it possible to evaluate concentrations ranging from 0.2 ppm (1 mg×m−3) to 250 ppm (1g×m−3) at ambient temperature even with a high hygrometric level. Thermal desorption does not lead to satisfactory results.

    Notes: Summary In GLC the mass load can be normalized with respect to the amount of stationary phase in one plate. This quantity can be used for a specified solute-liquid phase combination in any capillary or packed column, irrespective of the column dimensions or the number of plates. For each individual solute in a given stationary phase a unique factor β″ can be found, which accounts for the specific shape of the isotherm of this particular combination. this factor β″ corresponds well with the activity coefficients of the solutes in the stationary phase, by which a fairly good approximation of the mass loadability of the column at hand can be made without need for experiment.

    Radioactivity detection in capillary gas chromatography of3H- and14C-labelled compounds (1989)

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Radio gas chromatography (RGC) is a valuable tool for the analysis of radioactively labelled compounds. Recent advances in capillary GC, especially in column technology and instrumentation have also induced new possibilities in this field. With regard to the preservation of the achieved separation efficiency, radioactivity detection is the main problem in capillary RGC. Based on published data and on our extensive experience in conventional RGC, a simple, reliable and versatile method has been developed for the radioactive detection: purge gas is added to the effluent of the capillary column and the RGC detection unit with conversion tube and flow-through proportional counter is used maintaining small dead volumes and dimensions. The influence of the extra-column volumes and of the total gas flow rate (of the carrier, purge and quenching gases) on the peak shape was investigated. It was also found that the isotopic effect commonly known in GC of2H- and3H-labelled compounds is hardly measurable for larger [G-14C] labelled species such as [G-14C] labelled higher fatty acids with high isotopic abundance of14C, even on the highly efficient capillary columns. The quantitative aspects of the detection method used are discussed and some applications to the analysis of labelled biochemicals (amino and fatty acids) are demonstrated.

    Detection of thiophenes in the offgas condensate of an oil shale retort by a GC-microwave induced helium plasma detector (1989)

    Notes: Summary A series of alkylthiophenes and dimethyl disulfide were tentatively identified in an oil shale retort gas condensate from a 6-kg bench-scale retort using gas chromatography with a microwave-induced helium plasma detector (GC-MIP). The sulfur species were present in concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 10.7 mol ppm in the undiluted offgas. The GC-MIP technique was successful in selectively detecting the sulfur components in the complex mixture. Quantitation was simplified relative to GC with flame-photometric detection because of the absence of quenching or other interference problems at the concentrations studied. Attempts to determine stoichiometry of the sulfur components by comparison of carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur ratios with those of standards were unsuccessful because of the complexity of the carbon and hydrogen chromatograms.

This method is based on an enrichment step at room temperature using a solid sorbent and subsequent thermal desorption for gas chromatographic separation and FID detection. The instrument is built up of a small commercial gas chromatograph and a laboratory-made trap and desorption unit. The sampling parameters, sample volume, concentration and humidity of air have been investigated.

    Effects of hydrocarbon quenching in gas chromatography when using the flame photometric detector (1989)

    Keywords: Gas chromatography ; Flame photometric detector ; Sulfur compounds ; Response quenching
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The long time retardation of the main hydrocarbon peak in the chimney of the flame photometric detector greatly reduces the responses of later-eluting sulfur compounds. In the absence of hydrocarbons in the flame, the slope (s) of the log I vs. log [S] plot (where I is the sulfur response and [S] is the sulfur concentration in the sample) is of the highest value and is constant for all experimental conditions tested. Flame hydrocarbons cause the s value to decrease, and this is dependent on the oxygen to hydrogen ratio in the flame (O/H) and, under certain conditions, also on the sulfur to carbon ratio (S/C) of the sample. The abnormalities observed in the determination of methyl thiol in natural gas are explained on the basis of the present study.

    Notes: Summary The use of N, O (S)-tert.-Butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of amino acids for capillary gas chromatography and FTIR identification of amino acids is described. Rapid identification is achieved by computerised comparison of FTIR spectra. Derivatives that are characterised by identical sets of ions in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry experiments are clearly distinguished and identified by means of their infrared spectra. This, for example, is the case with alanine, β-alanine and sarcosine, which norvaline and valine, and with norleucine, leucine and isoleucine. Unknows are also promptly detected. This is especially useful in screening biological samples for less common amino acids. Screening of hemoglogin hydrolysates for amino acid adducts is exemplified.

    Notes: Summary Mathematical analysis, allowing the determination of the distribution of the electron and positive ion concentration in an electron-capture detector with a cylindrical electrode arrangement and with constant and pulsed voltage supplies, has been carried out. The measurements obtained confirm the assumptions concerning the “space change” model of the ECD introduced by Gobby et al. and cast doubt upon the general assumption of the complete removal of the electrons from the detector by the voltage pulse. The physical factors influencing the current characteristics of the detector and the possible distortions connected with the electrode geometry have been explained on the basis of the measurements carried out.

    Notes: Summary The surface free energy, or film pressure, π0, is measured for mica (Mica HK), silane-covered mica (Mica NP), Chromosorb W DMCS and glass beads. The film pressure is obtained from gas chromatography. The materials are used as adsorbents and benzyl alcohol and n-dodecane are used as molecular probes. Adsorption isotherms at 353 K are obtained from gas chromatography data and the surface free energy is computed with the help of the Gibbs equation. Values of π0 for a given surface are found to vary with the molecular probe. With benzyl alcohol π0 varies from 44 erg/cm2 for Mica 60 HK to 76 erg/cm2 for glass. In the case of n-dodecane π0 is found to vary in the same manner but the values range from 25 to 45 erg/cm2. The results are in good agreement with the values obtained with the contact angle method.

The dependence of the retention of normal paraffins, Rohrschneider and McReynolds test solutes (benzene, ethanol, methyl ethyl ketone, nitromethane, pyridine, butanol-1, 2-pentanone, and nitropropane) on the composition of the colloid systems was investigated. The investigated colloid sorbents including liquid crystals retain their selectivity for meta/para isomers up to 50% of the aerosil content and practically at all studied carbon black concentrations.

    Notes: Summary A sensitive capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of lidocaine, tetracaine, procaine and dibucaine. The method was applied to the determination of anesthetics in tissue homogenates incubated at 38°C at doses between 10 and 400 mg/kg. In the liver tissue thein vitro metabolization of the studied anesthetics is most rapid for tetracaine, also fast for procaine, while for lidocaine and dibucaine the metabolization is very slow. In brain tissue thein vitro metabolization of anesthetics is very slow. The method shows good analytical parameters: linearity between 5 and 40 μg/ml; day-to-day reproducibility ca. 8% for a concentration of 20 μg/ml, precision ca. 7% for a concentration of 20μg/ml. Accuracy is also very good.

When one end of the fully filled capillary was immersed into liquid nitrogen in a Dewar flask, the coating solution at this end would be frozen and became a temporary seal, and an air-free solvent/seal interface was obtained. No bumping has ever been found at the interface, even when butane was used as solvent. By applying this sealing method, several capillary columns, including some narrow bore capillary, had been successfully coated.

    Notes: Summary A new method for prediction of gas chromatographic retention times and peak half widths is based on the renewal theory. The only requirements are the heats of vaporization of the compounds to be separated and one calibration measurement. With this data, retention times and peak half widths can be predicted for isothermal as well as temperature-programmed gas chromatography. For the separation of non-polar substances on non-polar stationary phases the prediction error for retention times is approx. 1–2%. First simulations of polar molecules and polar stationary phases indicate that this method is also applicable in these cases but some extension will be required.

    Notes: The interaction of benzil and thioxanthone triplets with triethylamine leads to the production of free radicals that are able to initiate the polymerization of methylmethacrylate and vinyl acetate. The process is mediated by a charge transfer complex. The initiation efficiency is higher in benzene than in acetonitrile, a result explained in terms of competition between back electron transfer, production of free ions and ketyl radical formation. The initiation efficiency decreases when the carbonyl concentration increases, because of the occurrence of a radical molecule reaction such as The α-hydroxy radicals produced in this reaction are unable to initiate the polymerization chain.

    Notes: Poly(enamine-ketones) were prepared by the nucleophilic (Michael-type) addition of various aromatic diamines to 1,1′-(1,3- or 1,4-phenylene)bis(2-propyn-1-one)(1,3 or 1,4-PPO) in m-cresol at 5-23°C. The low molecular weight polymers (inherent viscosity of 0.25 dL/g) exhibited limited solubility in organic solvents. Glass transition temperatures were generally undetectable by differential scanning calorimetry while polymer decomposition temperatures (10% weight loss), as measured by thermogravimetric analysis, were observed from 355 to 419°C. Polymers prepared from 1,4-PPO were semi-crystalline as shown by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The poly(enamine-ketone) structure was confirmed by matching infrared spectral characteristics of the polymers with those of well-characterized model enamine ketones.

    Notes: The synthesis and characterization of polymethacrylates and polyacrylates containing 4-methoxy-4′-hydroxy-α-methylstilbene side groups attached either directly or through flexible spacers containing eleven, eight, six, three, and respectively two methylenic units, and of the polysiloxanes containing the same mesogenic group connected through flexible spacers containing eleven, eight, six, and respectively three methylenic units are described. All polymers exhibit thermotropic liquid crystallinity. The nature of the mesophase is determined by the spacer length. However, the nature of the polymer backbone determines the thermal stability of the mesophase. That is, for the same spacer length and similar polymer molecular weight, the most flexible polymer backbone leads to the highest isotropization temperature.

    Notes: A series of polyarylates having inherent viscosities of 0.4-1.1 dL/g was prepared by the two phase polycondensation of 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-(4-chloroformylphenyl)indanecarbonyl chloride with various bisphenols in an organic solvent-aqueous alkaline solution system in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. Similarly, copolyarylates of high molecular weights were prepared from a mixture of the phenylindanedicarbonyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, and 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-phenyl)propane. All the polyarylates were characterized by their amorphous nature and high solubility in organic solvents. They gave transparent and tough films by the solution casting. The films had tensile strength of 33-46 MPa, elongation at break of 3-16%, and tensile modulus of 1.2-1.6 GPa. These polyarylates had glass transition temperatures in the range of 205-310°C, and began to decompose at ca. 350°C in air.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of the binding of butyl orange by a homopolymer of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and copolymers of DMAEMA and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VPy) has been examined at various pH's. The binding is very much dependent upon the temperature of the system, the pH of the binding medium, and the DMAEMA content in the polymer. In this case maximal binding is obtained at approximately 15-25° in the temperature range measured, although in most cases which have been examined, the degree of binding increases steadily with increasing temperature. This peculiar temperature dependence of the binding becomes more pronounced as the pH and the DMAEMA content are increased. The appearance of the peculiarity is discussed in terms of the pH-induced conformational changes of the polymer and the hydrophobicity of the polymer.

    Notes: When PVC films containing zinc(II) chloride were heated in the temperature range 65-95°C, broad absorptions developed in the 250-900 nm region with maxima around 610 nm. The development of the color, the rate of which was proportional to the ZnCl2 content, was preceded by an induction period, the length of which depended on the temperature. The activation energy of the process decreased as the ZnCl2 content of the film increased. Color developments in air and in vacuum were compared.

On these materials was studied the melting behavior with DSC, the crystalline structure with WAXS, the water absorption, and the mechanical properties with a torsion pendulum. In these copolyamides the order was found to remain high, but the crystalline structures of -4,6 and -4,T were not isomorphous. The torsion moduli increased with -4,T content both at RT and at 140°C.

    Notes: Diacids with variable spacer length were prepared by condensation of trimellitic anhydride and ω-amino acids. From these diacids, homopolyesters were prepared by thermal condensation with the acetates of hydroquinone or 4,4′-dihydroxy biphenyl and a series of copolyesters containing 4-hydroxy benzoic acid. The same LC poly(ester imide)s could also be prepared in a “one-pot procedure” from trimellitic anhydrid, lactams, and bisphenol acetates. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces of most poly(ester imide)s exhibit two endotherms representing the solid → LC phase transition (Tm1) and the LC phase → isotropic melt transition (Tm2). Observation under the polarizing microscope and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements suggest that the LC phase formed immediately above the melting points (Tm1) have a smectic character. Poly(ester imide)s of 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl possess higher melting points and a broader temperature range of the LC phase than those of hydroquinone. The copolyesters possess a nematic melt over a broad temperature range. Thermomechanical analyses under low pressure (0.05 kg/mm2) gave heat distortion temperatures close to the melting points (Tm1), and under high pressure (1 kg/mm2), values between Tm1 and the glass transition temperatures (Tg). Thermogravimetric measurements indicate that processing from the melt is feasible up to temperatures around 340°C.

    Notes: Water-soluble graft copolymers of well-defined structure having hydrophobic polymethacrylate branches with different ester groups were prepared by the macromonomer method. Methacrylate macromonomers of controlled molecular weights having a methacryloyloxyl end group were synthesized by radical polymerization of the corresponding monomer in the presence of thioglycolic acid followed by the reaction of glycidyl methacrylate with the terminal carboxyl group. These macromonomers were copolymerized with methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate to prepare tailor-made graft copolymers composed of a hydrophlic backbone and different kinds of hydrophobic branches, which were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and GPC. The viscosities of the aqueous solutions of the sodium salts of these graft copolymers were measured. It was found that the viscosity of the dilute solution of the graft copolymer was remarkably high compared with the corresponding random copolymer irrespective of the ester group in branch segments. Solubilizing behavior of Orange-OT in aqueous solutions of the graft copolymers and the random copolymer were also investigated to study the nature of the hydrophobic domain of the graft copolymers.

    Notes: In this study, a radiation-induced copolymer, namely, polyethylene-g-acrylic acid and EVA-g-acrylic acid, in the form of a membrane, particulate, or tube was used as a substrate. The carboxyl groups of the grafted acrylic chains were oxidized into peracids. Optimal conditions for the oxidation, including the catalyst, reaction time, and temperature were investigated. Novel bigraft copolymers were then synthesized from the grafted polymeric peracid. A third component (e.g., 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) was grafted through the decomposition of peracid groups. Abnormality in morphology of the acrylic acid grafted and HEMA bigraft membrane was investigated by SEM and TEM observation, which showed the levelling effect of the third component and manifested a third circular domain generated inside the membrane at high degree of grafting.

Plasma polymer films like Nafion were obtained from the plasma polymerization of PFB/SO2 mixture. The plasma polymerization deposited fluoropolymers with sulfur moieties including sulfonate and sulfonic acid groups. The elemental composition, F/C, and S/C atomic ratio of the formed plasma polymers were 0.65-0.67 and 0.24-0.27, respectively, which were independent of the starting mixture composition. The polymers showed cation-exchange ability of which the capacity was 0.49 meq/g polymer, and initiated the polymerization of pyrrole.

    Notes: 4-Methacryloxy-2,3,5,6-tetrabromobenzyl phosphonates (MTBBP) are prepared by the reaction of corresponding 4-hydroxy-2,3,5,6-tetrabromobenzyl phosphonates (HTBBP) with methacryloyl chloride. Comparisons of flame retardancy among the copolymers of methylmethacrylate (MMA) with MTBBP or with 4-methacryloxy-2,3,5,6-tetrabromotoluene(MTBT) and the mixture of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with triphenyl phosphite reveal that the combination of phosphorus and bromine elements produces a synergistic effect on flame retardancy, and the chemical grafting of the fire-resistant elements into the polymer backbone gives a better effect than the physical mixing of their compounds with polymer. The unsatisfactory results of homopolymers of the synthesized methacrylate monomers prepared by free radical polymerization in solution may be due to their less reactivities; however, they can readily copolymerize with a liquid vinyl monomer such as MMA by means of bulk polymerization.

    Notes: A new approach is presented to calculate both the distribution of particles with iradicals and the average number of radicals per particle in emulsion polymerizations carried out using oil-soluble initiators. The convergence and accuracy of the approach were examined. It was found that, in agreement with previously published experimental results, the present approach predicts a kinetic behavior similar to that found for water-soluble initiators. This effect is primarily due to the desorption of initiator radicals from the polymer particles rather than the contribution of the fraction of oil-soluble initiator dissolved in the aqueous phase.

    Notes: The optically active polynucleotide analogs were prepared by grafting nucleic acid base derivatives onto poly(vinyl alcohol). The (R)-ethyl 2-(5-bromouracil-1-yl)propanoate was obtained either by reaction of 5-bromouracil sodium salt with (S)-ethyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]propanoate or reaction of 5-bromouracil with (S)-ethyl lactate in the presence of triphenyl phosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate. Subsequent hydrolysis of the ester is aqueous acid provided the optically pure (R)-bromouracilypropanoic acid. The monomer model compounds were prepared by an esterification reaction of the pendant groups with 3-pentyl alcohol in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and a catalytic amount of 4-pyrrolidinopyridine. Poly(vinyl alcohol) underwent reaction with the (R)-bromouracilylpropanoic acid or the (R)-adeninylpropanoic acid in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and a catalytic amount of 4-pyrrolidinopyridine. The resulting polymers were optically active and percents grafting were almost quantitative.

    Notes: Undecyl and phenyl oxazolines were synthesized. They were copolymerized in different mole ratios using methyl nosylate as initiator. A series of di- and triblock copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions as indicated by GPC were obtained. A three-armed block copolymer was also obtained by using 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene as initiator. When the nonpolar undecyl block crystallized as a coating, the critical surface energy approached 21.0 dyn/cm, and the contact angle of water on the surface could be higher than 107°. The melting point increased as the chain length of crystallizable undecyl block increased, and the melting peak on DSC was very sharp when the length was equal to or longer than 25 monomer units. When these copolymers were coated on substrates, the work of adhesion with pressure sensitive adhesives was greatly reduced.

    Notes: The anionic polymerization of ∊-caprolactam (CLM) has been shown to proceed at high reaction rate when catalyzed by metallic lactamates and initiated by acyllactams. The role of initiator and catalyst concentration on the process of ∊-caprolactam anionic polymerization has been explored, with the aim of selecting the most suitable experimental conditions for reaction injection molding (RIM). The overall polymerization rates and physical properties for reaction injection molding of star-shaped nylon 6 homopolymer have been studied by the quasi-adiabatic process. In order to model the actual rapid molding conditions, time vs. temperature reaction profiles were measured, and the relative rates of polymerization subsequently determined from these data.

    Notes: This paper reports that 60Co γ-ray irradiation can convert cis-polyphenylacetylene (cis-PPA) films prepared with rare-earth coordination catalysts to highly photosensitive materials. The dependence of the photosensitivity on irradiation dose, preparation methods, and microstructure of the PPA films has been investigated by means of a potential discharge technique. The photosensitivity was enhanced with increasing irradiation dose. The critical dose to produce a light response was 5 × 103 Gy. The maximum surface potential discharge rate was 618 V/s, and the dark decay was approximately 2 V/s for cis-PPA films irradiated with 60Co γ-ray (dose: 2 × 105 Gy). The cis-transoidal-PPA and an electrophotographic photoreceptor device incorporating cis-PPA showed a higher irradiation effect. The structure and properties of 60Co γ-ray irradiated rare-earth PPA films are similar to the unirradiated films.

    The synthesis and solution properties of some rigid-chain, water-soluble polymers: Poly[N,N′-(sulfo-phenylene)phthalamide]s and poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene)pyromellitimide] (1989)

    Notes: Poly[N,N′-(sulfo-phenylene)phthalamid]es and poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene)pyromellitimide] were prepared in water-soluble form and were found to have unique solution properties, similar in some respects to xanthan. The polymer most investigated, poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene)terephthalamide] (PPT-S), is produced as the dimethylacetamide (DMAC) salt by the solution polymerization of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid with terephthaloyl chloride in DMAC containing LiCl. The isolated polymer requires heating in water to dissolve; the resulting cooled solutions are viscous or gels at concentrations as low as 0.4%. They are highly birefringent, exhibit circular dichroism properties, and are viscosity-sensitive to salt. Solutions of this polymer mixed with those of guar or hydroxyethyl cellulose give significantly enhanced viscosity. The polymer is relatively low molecular weight, ca. 5000 estimated from viscosity data. Some meta and para isomeric analogs of PPT-S were prepared; these polymers have similar properties except they are more soluble in water, and higher concentrations are required to obtain significant viscosity. Poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene) pyromellitimide] (PIM-S) was prepared similarly from 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid and pyromellitic dianhydride. Its aqueous solution properties are similar to those of PPT-S. It appears that these relatively low-molecular-weight rigid-chain polymers associate in water to form a network that results in viscous solutions at low concentrations.

    Notes: Aromatic polyamides (aramids) having pendant t-butyl group were synthesized by the direct polycondensation of 5-t-butylisophthalic acid with various aromatic diamines in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. The aramids having inherent viscosities of 0.6-2.4 dL/g were obtained in quantitative yields. These polymers were readily soluble in various solvents such as NMP,N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and pyridine, and gave transparent, tough and flexible films by casting from the NMP solutions. The aramids had glass transition temperatures between 250 and 330°C, and started to lose weight around 350°C, with 10% weight loss being recorded at about 450°C in air.

    Notes: Water-soluble comb-shaped polymers were prepared through grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ethers (MPEG) onto acrylic and methacrylic ester copolymers by transesterification reactions. The grafting was alkali-catalyzed, and performed in refluxing toluene solution or in melt at 155°C. The grafting efficiency was found to be on the order of 1 graft/10 monomer units. Epoxy groups in glycidyl methacrylate copolymers were also utilized for grafting. The crude graft copolymers were purified through chromatography and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. Polymers prepared from MPEG 2000 were crystalline with melting points 10-15°C lower than the MPEG used. All polymers were shown to be surface active with CMC on the order of 1.5 g/L, and surface tensions of 38-45 dyn/cm. When used as emulsifiers the graft copolymers containing bulky lipophilic ester groups (2-ethylhexyl t-butyl) gave oil-in-water (o/w) and water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions from xylene/water with higher stability than those containing straight chain ester groups (methyl nbutyl n-docecyl). The most stable emulsions were obtained by dissolving the polymers in the organic phase.

    Notes: Initiation of polymerization of methyl methacrylate with redox system montmorillonite (with lattice Fe3+)-thiourea has been achieved. The rates are dependent on both clay mineral and thiourea. Amidosulfenyl radicals are believed to initiate the polymerization on the clay surface. The polymerization produced nonextractable clay-polymer adduct up to an extent of 70 wt %. The pH of the medium (in the acidic range) did not affect the polymerization rate.

    Notes: A new family of polynucleotide analogs were prepared by grafting nucleic acid base derivatives onto polytrimethylenimine. Several new optically pure α-nucleic acid base substituted propanoic acids were prepared as pendant groups. The (R)-ethyl adeninylpropanoate was obtained from adenine and (S)-ethyl lactate by utilizing a diethyl azodicarboxylate-triphenyl phosphine method. Subsequent hydrolysis of the ester in aqueous acid gave the (R)-adeninylpropanoic acid without racemization. The reaction of cytosine sodium salt with (S)-ethyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy] propanoate produced the 20% racemized (R)-ethyl 2-(cytosin-1-yl)propanoate. The optically pure ester was obtained by recrystallization from ethyl alcohol, which was hydrolyzed in aqueous acid to give the (R)-acid with 66% enantiomeric excess. The (R)-2-(hypoxanthin-9-yl)propanoic acid was prepared by reaction of (R)-2-(adenin-9-yl)propanoic acid with sodium nitrite. The pendant groups were allowed to react with N-hydroxy compounds in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give the active esters. These active esters underwent reaction with N,N-dipropylamine to provide monomer model compounds. The pendant groups were grafted onto polytrimethylenimine by using the active ester method. The racemization reactions were observed in the grafting reactions. The resulting polymers showed a range of percent grafting from 60 to 80%.

    Notes: The interactions of H2 and NH3 plasmas with the surfaces of various poly(alkylmethacrylate)s and of poly(phenylmethacrylate) have been studied with XPS and SSIMS. Experiments on poly(methylmethacrylate) reveal that during short treatment times with the NH3 plasma chain, scission takes place and nitrogen is not incorporated into the surface. The chain scission also takes place with the H2 plasma. With the aid of SSIMS results, the nature of the chain scission could be deduced. Comparison of these results with those on poly(n-butylmethacrylate) and poly(t-butylmethacrylate) reveals a reaction mechanism in which hydrogen atoms generated in both plasmas play an important role in the chain scission process. After longer treatment time with the NH3 plasma, the poly(methylmethacrylate) surface becomes deoxygenated and nitrogen is incorporated into surface structures of low molecular weight. Experiments on poly(phenylmethacrylate) reveal that already during short treatment times with the NH3 plasma, nitrogen is incorporated into the aromatic ring. Chain scission does not play an important role. One of the processes with the H2 plasma is hydrogenation of the aromatic ring, leading to poly(cyclohexylmethacrylate).

    Notes: Solutions of 3-methoxythiophene (MeOT) in dimethylformamide (DMF) were electrolyzed at controlled electrode potentials. The polymerizations were studied under homogeneous conditions in solutions in which the polymer was soluble in the medium, and no coating of the electrodes occurred. The reaction proceeded at high coulombic efficiency and a first order dependence on monomer concentration was observed. The molecular weights of the polymers were determined by gel permeation chromatography. All samples showed a narrow distribution of molecular weights, with Mw/Mn ranging from 1.01 to 1.07. The molecular weight was low (about 3000 Daltons) and did not change in magnitude during the course of the reaction from 10 to 86% conversion, or with change in electrode potential from 1.55 to 1.65 V vs. SCE. The data are interpreted on a model based upon the competitive formation of chemically unreactive bipolarons.
