    Notes: Summary 1. Jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were perfused with hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic buffered solutions containing 14C-labelled amidopyrine and antipyrine at neutral and at acidic pH. The blood flow of the loop was maintained at an intermediate rate (0.7–1.0 ml min−1g−1). The water net flux was determined by means of polyethylene glycol as non-absorbable marker and amounted up to ±30 μl min−1g−1. 2. A positive water net flux (directed towards the blood) increased the appearance rate of amidopyrine and antipyrine by maximally 43.8 and 49.2%, a negative water net flux (directed towards the gut lumen) diminished it by 38.8 and 35.0%. 3. The experimental data were analysed by means of a kinetic model with the water net flux as independent variable and the epithelial permeability kF D , the serosal permeability k S F S and the sieving coefficient Φ=1−σ as absorption parameters. For antipyrine independent of the pH-value of the perfusion solution kF D was 0.123, and, for amidopyrine at pH 7 and pH 3 kF D was 0.231 and 0.091, respectively. k S F S was zero indicating that in this experimental arrangement the transfer of drug molecules to the serosal side was negligible. The sieving coefficient Φ amounted to 2.30 for amidopyrine and 2.15 for antipyrine at neutral pH. At acidic pH it amounted to 0.50 for amidopyrine and 1.44 for antipyrine. The hydraulic permeability of water was identical at neutral and acidic pH. 4. The high sieving coefficient for the two drugs at neutral pH is interpreted as indicating that water and lipophilic drug molecules interact within the lipid part of the cell membrane. At acidic pH the ionized drug molecules appear to permeate the cell membrane preferentially across other (presumably more hydrophilic) areas.

    Notes: Summary 1. Jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were perfused with hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic buffered solutions containing 14C-labelled benzoic acid and salicylic acid at pH 6.2 and 2.2. The blood flow of the loop was maintained at an intermediate rate (0.78–0.97 ml min−1 g−1). The water net flux was determined by polyethylene glycol as non-absorbable marker and amounted up to +31 or-27 μl min−1 g−1. 2. A positive water net flux (leaving the gut lumen) increased the appearance rate of benzoic acid and salicylic acid in the intestinal venous blood by maximally 47 and 41%, a negative water net flux (entering the gut lumen) diminished the appearance rate by 28 and 37%. 3. The experimental data were analysed by means of a kinetic model. The parameters of the model were the epithelial permeability kF D , the serosal permeability k S F S and the sieving coefficient Φ=1−σ. The epithelial permeability was 0.115 and 0.107 for benzoic acid and salicylic acid at pH 6.2 and increased to 0.163 and 0.185 ml min−1 g−1 at pH 2.2. The serosal permeability was assumed to be identical for neutral and acidic pH and amounted to 0.046 and 0.112 ml min−1 g−1 indicating that a certain proportion of the absorbed drugs was transferred to the serosal side. The sieving coefficient was 2.92 and 2.31 at neutral pH and 3.79 and 3.56 at acidic pH. 4. The main resistance to the absorption of the two drugs is the epithelial membrane, since the effective blood flow and the unstirred layer are not ratelimiting. The high sieving coefficient for the two drugs is interpreted as indicating an interaction of drug and water molecules inside the lipid part of the cell membrane (which contains at least 30% water). The electric potential across the gut wall may contribute to the size of the sieving coefficient, if the drug molecules permeate also in the ionized form. 5. Using acidic perfusion solutions the epithelial permeability and the sieving coefficient were increased by the factor 1.3–1.5. This increase can be explained sufficiently by a facilitated entrance of the unionized drug molecules into the epithelial membrane.

    Notes: Summary After administration of the anorectic drug fenfluramine (40 mg/kg per day) to rats (s. c. or i. p.) and guinea pigs (p.o.) over periods of 2 to 11 weeks, electron microscopic examination was performed on lungs, liver, lymphatic tissues and peripheral blood of both species, and on adrenal glands and ovaries of rats. In rats, fenfluramine caused the following alterations (listed according to the duration of treatment): Formation of abnormal lamellated inclusions in lymphocytes and plasma cells of lymphatic tissues, appearance of “foam cells” in lung alveoli; formation of abnormal lamellated inclusions in corpus luteum, lymphocytes of peripheral blood, and in adrenal cortex. In guinea pigs, the same alterations were found in lymphocytes of spleen and peripheral blood, in hepatocytes and in lung. The present observations support the concept of a generalized phospholipidosis induced by amphiphilic compounds. The potency of fenfluramine to induce a lipidosis is, however, considerably less pronounced than that previously demonstrated for the anorectic drug chlorphentermine. This difference is suggested to be due mainly to the lower degree of amphiphilia of fenfluramine.

    Notes: Summary 1. Jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were perfused with buffered solutions (pH 6.8) containing d-galactose in two concentrations: below (100 μM) and above (100 mM) blood sugar concentration. The blood flow rate, the appearance rate (in the intestinal venous blood) and the disappearance rate (from the intestinal lumen) were determined simultaneously, the accumulation in gut tissue at the end of the experiments. 2. At constant intermediate blood flow the appearance rate and disappearance rate decreased with time. A decrease of the blood flow rate from about 1.9 to about 0.3 ml min−1 g−1 diminished both the appearance and the disappearance rate. An increase of blood flow from about 0.3 to about 1.9 ml min−1 g−1 did not increase the absorption rates; even a slight decrease was observed. 3. In the presence of phlorizine (2 mM) the absorption rates and the tissue accumulation of galactose is reduced. At constant intermediate blood flow the appearance and disappearance rate increased with time. A decrease of the blood flow rate from about 1.8 to about 0.3 ml min−1 g−1 diminished the appearance rate. An increase of the blood flow rate from about 0.3 to about 1.8 ml min−1 g−1 caused an increase of the appearance rate in contrast to the experiments without phlorizine. Therefore, the different blood flow dependence of the intestinal absorption observed with actively transported substances can be attributed to their non-passive component.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'utilisation thérapeutique de fluorure de sodium a été recommandée dans le traitement de diverses maladies osseuses ostéopéniques. Cet emploi est basé principalement sur les effects ostéosclérotiques bien connus du fluorure de sodium, mais on connait mal son effet sur la force de résistance osseuse. L'influence de diverses concentrations de fluorure de sodium sur la force de résistance osseuse de jeunes rats soumis à des régimes riches et pauvres en calcium a été étudiée. L'administration de fluorure de sodium augmente le diamètre osseux, indiquant une stimulation de la formation de l'os périosté, mais la force de résistance osseuse est réduite ou non modifiée par l'ingestion de fluor.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die therapeutische Verwendung von Natriumfluorid ist für eine Anzahl von Knochenmangel-Krankheiten empfohlen worden. Die Empfehlungen basieren hauptsächlich auf den bekannten osteosklerotischen Wirkungen von Natriumfluorid; über dessen Effekt auf die Knochenstärke ist wenig bekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde der Einfluß verschiedener Konzentrationen von Natriumfluorid auf die Knochenstärken von wachsenden Ratten mit hoher und niederer Calciumeinnahme untersucht. Die Verabreichung von Natriumfluorid erhöhte den Knochendurchmesser, was auf eine Stimulierung der Periostbildung hinwies, die Knochenstärke wurde jedoch durch Fluorideinnahme herabgesetzt oder nicht beeinflußt.
    Notes: Abstract The therapeutic use of sodium fluoride has been recommended in a variety of osteopenic bone diseases. The recommendations are based mainly on the known osteosclerotic effects of sodium fluoride and little information is available as to its effect on bone strength. The influence of various concentrations of sodium fluoride on bone strength in growing rats on high and low calcium diets was studied. The administration of sodium fluoride increased bone diameter, indicating stimulation of periosteal bone formation, but bone strength was reduced or not affected by fluoride ingestion.

    Notes: Summary The vascular surface of the external layer of the median eminence is composed of neuronal and glial processes. Neuro-vascular contacts are supposed to be necessary for the release of hypophysiotropic neurohormones. The present study confirms the hypothesis that the relative extent of neuro-vascular and glio-vascular contacts varies under different functional conditions of the tubero-hypophysial system. Morphometric analysis shows that in normal rats about 20% of the surface is lined by neuro-vascular contacts. After bilateral adrenalectomy the neuro-vascular contacts are enlarged to 40% whereas application of an extract of stalk-median eminence tissue is followed by a decrease of the neuro-vascular contacts to 15%. The implications of these results are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Lappenbronchien (3./6.) (Durchmesser bei mittlerer Inspirationslage 500–700 μ) von männlichen und weiblichen Wistarratten wurden licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Diese Bronchien entsprechen im Wandbau den mittleren Bronchioli größerer Säugetiere. Freie, verzweigte lanzettförmige Terminalfasern werden im Bindegewebe der lamina propria beschrieben. Sie sind in das elastisch muskuläre System der Bronchuswand eingebaut. Die zugehörige markhaltige afferente Nervenfaser ist verzweigt und hat einen Durchmesser von 4–6 μ. Außerdem werden efferente motorische Endigungen an der glatten Bronchialmuskulatur beschrieben. Die freien lanzettförmigen und verzweigten Terminalfasern sind möglicherweise Dehnungsrezeptoren für den Hering Breuer Reflex.
    Notes: Summary In rats the 3rd to 6th bronchi, measuring 500–700 μ in diameter during inspiration, were investigated by light and electron microscopy. The histological appearance of these bronchi is comparable to that of medium sized bronchioles of larger animals. The branched and lanceolate terminals are associated with the connective tissue of the lamina propria and the smooth muscle cell layer. In this way the terminals are bound to the myoelastic system of the bronchial wall. The myelinated afferent fiber is branched and the diameter measures about 4–6 microns. Besides afferent nerve terminals these are numerous efferent endings on the smooth muscle basement laminae. It is supposed that the described receptor represents the pulmonary stretch receptor of the Hering Breuer reflex.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Parachlorophenylalanin (pCPA) auf die paraganglionären Zellen und sympathischen Ganglienzellen des Ganglion cervicale superius der Ratte wurde untersucht. pCPA beeinflußt die sympathischen Nervenzellen im Ganglion cervicale superius geringgradig. Es finden sich unspezifische Veränderungen des Golgi-Apparates und der Nissl-Schollen sowie eine Zunahme von Lysosomen. Bei langdauernder Behandlung degenerieren einzelne Ganglienzellen und Nervenfasern. Die paraganglionären Zellen sind bei Kontrolltieren durch “dense core vesicles” eines einheitlichen Typs charakterisiert. Im Laufe der pCPA-Behandlung finden sich degranulierte paraganglionäre Zellen. Die Degranulation der einzelnen Zellelemente ist jedoch variabel. Bei fluorescenzmikroskopischer Untersuchung zeigt sich nach pCPA-Applikation eine Verschiebung des Fluorescenzspektrums zum grünen Bereich hin. Die bei Kontrollen deutliche Gelbkomponente nimmt nach 6–12 Tagen ab und verschwindet schließlich nach 18–20 Tagen. Es wird diskutiert, ob die fluorescenzmikroskopischen Veränderungen aufgrund einer Hemmung der Serotoninsynthese oder aufgrund einer abgeschwächten Katecholaminsynthese entstehen.
    Notes: Summary The effect of parachlorophenylalanine (pCPA) on the paraganglionic and sympathetic nerve cells of the rat superior cervical ganglion was studied. pCPA influences the sympathetic nerve cells of the cervical ganglion to minimal extent. Unspecific changes of the Golgi apparatus and of the Nissl bodies as well as an increase in the number of lysosomes occur. An extended period of treatment causes degeneration of individual ganglionic cells and nerve fibers. The paraganglionic cells in control animals are characterized by dense core vesicles of an unitary type. During pCPA treatment degranulated paraganglionic cells are to be found. The degranulation of the individual cell elements varies. Fluorescence microscopic study after pCPA application shows a shift of the fluorescence spectrum toward green. The yellow component of the control group decreases after 6 to 12 days and disappears after 18 or 20 days. It is discussed whether the fluorescence microscopic changes are due to the inhibition of serotonine synthesis or to a decrease of the catecholamine synthesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Capillaren des Subcommissuralorgans (SCO) und deren Umgebung wurden an 38 adulten Sprague-Dawley- und an 6 adulten Wistar-Ratten nach Perfusionsfixierung im Elektronenmikroskop untersucht. Saure Mucopolysaccharide wurden mit Alcianblau und Rutheniumrot, Glykoproteide mittels der Perjodsäure-Silbermethenamin-Reaktion nachgewiesen. Der Stofftransport in den Capillaren wurde mit Meerrettichperoxidase (MRP) als Tracer untersucht. Die subcommissuralen Capillaren besitzen ein ungefenstertes, vesikelarmes Endothel, das einer einfachen, durchgehenden Basallamina aufsitzt. In der Umgebung der Capillaren finden sich neben periodisch strukturierten Körpern (PSK) vereinzelt Basallamina-Labyrinthe und regellos angeordnete kollagene Mikrofibrillen. Mit der Perjodsäure-Silbermethenamin-Reaktion lassen sich Glykoproteide im Bereich der Basallamina und der nach außen anschließenden Intercellularspalten darstellen, vereinzelt auch — teils im Bereich der Basallamina, teils ihr eng angeschlossen — Gruppen parallel angeordneter, linearer Strukturen mit einem periodischen Streifenmuster. Saure Mucopolysaccharide sind nur in der lumenseitigen Glykokalyx des Capillarendothels nachweisbar. Der Aufbau der PSK aus Kollagenfilamenten erscheint sehr wahrscheinlich. Vermutungen zur Entstehung dieser hochgeordneten Strukturen werden vorgebracht. Die Traceruntersuchungen ergeben, daß unter normalen Bedingungen in den subcommissuralen Capillaren eine Blut-Hirn-Schranke (BHS) für MRP besteht, die im Endothel lokalisiert ist. Bei einem Teil der Sprague-Dawley-Ratten ist die Barriere geschädigt und der Tracer gelangt über cytopemptische Vesikel in Basallamina und Gefäßumgebung. Der Basallamina und den PSK kommt in solchen Fällen keine besondere Schranken- oder Verteilerfunktion zu. Offenbar bewirkt bei manchen Sprague-Dawley-Ratten die MRP-Injektion über die Freisetzung von endogenen biogenen Aminen aus Mastzellen eine Schädigung der BHS, was bei Wistar-Ratten nicht eintritt.
    Notes: Summary The capillaries of the subcommissural organ (SCO) and their adjacent structures of 38 adult Sprague-Dawley rats and 6 adult Wistar rats were examined in the electron microscope after perfusion fixation. Acid mucopolysaccharides were shown by Alcian Blue and Ruthenium Red, glycoproteins were identified by the periodic acid-silver methenamine technique. Horseradish peroxidase (MRP) was used as a tracer for vascular permeability. The subcommissural organ's capillaries are characterized by an unfenestrated, continuous endothelium, showing only few vesicles; the endothelium is surrounded by a single, continuous basal lamina. Adjacent to the capillaries wall there are “periodically structured bodies” (PSK), labyrinths of the basal lamina and irregularly arranged collagen fibrils. Glycoproteins are found in the basal lamina and within the intercellular clefts; in a few cases groups of parallel arranged, periodically banded linear structures are seen within or adjacent to the basal lamina. Acid mucopolysaccharides are found within the endocapillary layer of capillaries. It seems very likely that PSK represent an atypical arrangement of collagen fibrils. The formation of these structures is discussed. Under normal conditions, MRP, after intravenous injection, does not enter the perivascular space surrounding the capillaries of the SCO. A blood-brain barrier exists at the level of the capillary endothelium. In a few Sprague-Dawley rats MRP seems to alter the permeability of the capillaries. Reaction product of MRP is found within endothelial vesicles and the adjacent structures. It appears that the basal lamina and the PSK are not involved in the barrier mechanism or regulation of transport. In Sprague-Dawley rats intravenous injection of MRP seems to alter the blood-brain barrier by release of endogenous biogenic amines associated with mast cell degranulation. This effect is not observed in Wistar rats.

    Notes: Summary The posterior lobe of the hypophysis consists of neurosecretory nerve fibres and glial cells, both abutting on the perivascular space of sinusoidal capillaries. Nerve fiberes and glial cells are connected with each other by a high number of synaptoid contacts. Several ultrastructural changes following dehydration have been described by other authors. This study presents the data of some morphometric investigations on normal and dehydrated rats. The relative extent of neuro-vascular contacts is not contstant; it increases significantly from 52 (±2.8)% in normal rats to 67(±1.2)% in rats with a dehydration time of 3 days. Correspondingly the extent of glio-vascular contacts is diminished. In addition, water-deprived animals show a clear increase in the number of neuro-glial synaptoid contacts with 3.1 (±0.4) per square unit nervous tissue compared to 2.1 (±0.3) per Square unit in untreated controls. These results indicate a dynamic motility of neuronal and glial elements depending on functional conditions, as was found for the external layer of the median eminence. Furthermore there seems to be a relationship between secretory activity and the number of neuroglial synaptoid contacts.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Gehirne embryonaler und neugeborener Ratten wurden im Hinblick auf die frühe Entstehung der Basalmembranlabyrinthe licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. 1. An den Hirngefäßen embryonaler Ratten der 2. und 3. Fetalwoche kommen zwar bereits Basalmembranen vor, sub- oder interependymale Basalmembranlabyrinthe fehlen aber noch. 2. Basalmembranlabyrinthe werden mit der Perjodsäure-Bisulfit-Aldehydthionin-Methode lichtmikroskopisch ab dem 20. Tag an umschriebenen Stellen des Ventrikelsystems gefunden; elektronenmikroskopisch treten die ersten Basalmembranlabyrinthe am 12. postnatalen Tag auf. 3. Die ersten interependymalen Labyrinthe erscheinen in Erweiterung der interependymalen Spalten in der Nähe von ausgedehnten Golgifeldern. Der Labyrinthinhalt besteht aus einer feinflockigen Substanz. Diese liegt wolkenartig angehäuft gegenüber bogenförmigen Ausbuchtungen lokal verbreiterter Zellmembranen. In Ausbildung begriffene Labyrinthe zeigen eine lamelläre Gliederung. 4. Ab dem 12. postnatalen Tag treten auch an den Basalmembranen der pericapillären Zellen, in denen lichtmikroskopisch Glykoproteide nachweisbar sind, zapfenartige Duplikaturen auf. Die Zapfen sind überwiegend ependymwärts gerichtet. Verbindungen zwischen den Basalmembranzapfen und den interependymalen Basalmembranlabyrinthen werden in den ersten 30 Lebenstagen nicht gefunden. 5. Sowohl an den die interependymalen Labyrinthe begrenzenden Plasmalemmata als auch am Plasmalemm der pericapillären Zellen fallen Stachelsaumbläschen auf, deren Membran in die Zellwand eingebaut wird. Ihr Inhalt scheint in die entstehenden Labyrinthe entleert zu werden. 6. Da sich an den tubulären Enden der Doppellamellen der Dictyosomen Strukturen befinden, die den Stachelsaumbläschen morphologisch gleichen, und da im Bereich des Golgifeldes und im Cytoplasma zwischen diesem und der Zellwand zahlreiche Stachelsaumbläschen liegen, wird angenommen, daß das Material der Basalmembranlabyrinthe dem Golgiapparat entstammt und vermittels der Stachelsaumbläschen zur Zellwand transportiert wird. Bogenförmige Ausbuchtungen lokal verbreiterter Zellmembranen im Bereich entstehender Labyrinthe werden als Reste von Stachelsaumbläschen aufgefaßt, deren Membran in die Zellwand eingebaut wurde. 7. Da die phylogenetische Zunahme des Hirnmantels mit einem Verlust der langen in das Gehirn reichenden basalen Ependymfortsätze an den größten Teilen der Ventrikelwand einhergeht und niedere Tiere noch nicht über Basalmenbranlabyrinthe verfügen, wird angenommen, daß diese die Transportfunktion für Stoffe aus dem Liquor übernommen haben, die vordem nach allgemeiner Auffassung über die langen Fortsätze in das Gehirn gelangten.
    Notes: Summary The brains of embryonic and new-born rats were investigated by means of light- and electron microscopy with regard to the early formation of basement membrane labyrinths. 1. Though basement membranes are already found around the brain capillaries of embryonic rats from the 2nd week of pregnancy, sub- and interependymal basement membrane labyrinths are still absent. 2. Basement membrane labyrinths, being demonstrable for light microscopy by a periodicacid-bisulfite-aldehydethionin-method, appear around the 20th day after birth at certain places of the ventricular system. By means of electron microscopy, basement membrane labyrinths have first been detected at the 12th postnatal day. 3. The earliest interependymal basement membrane labyrinths are found in enlargements of the interependymal spaces near a distended Golgi apparatus. The contents of the labyrinths, being composed of a loose flocculent material, are of a lamellar structure. In the intercellular space the material is situated opposite bow-shaped excavations of local broadenings of cell membranes. 4. From the 12th postnatal day, plug-like duplications of basement membranes occur at the ependymal side of the pericapillar cells, which contain glycoproteids. The plugs of basement membranes are directed towards the ependymal layer. No connections between the interependymal basement membrane labyrinths and the plugs of pericapillary basement membranes exist within the first 30 days of life. 5. At the plasmalemma of ependymal cells bordering the interependymal labyrinths, and at the cell membrane of pericapillary cells, coated vesicles are to be found, which are fused with the cell membrane. The contents of these vesicles seem to be released into the developing labyrinths. 6. At the tubular ends of dictyosomes, coated vesicle-like structures can be demonstrated. In the environment of the Golgi apparatus many coated vesicles are situated; they can even be found between the Golgi apparatus and the walls of labyrinthś. Therefore the coated vesicles are considered to be transport vesicles, transporting the material which is formed in the Golgi apparatus towards the cell membrane. 7. Since the phylogenetic increase of the brain mantle is accompanied by loss of the long processes of ependymal cells that reach far into the brain, and since lower animals have no basement membrane labyrinths, it is suggested that the basement membrane labyrinths have a transport functions for material from the cerebrospinal fluid which in lower animals is assumed to be transported by the long processes of ependymal cells.

    Notes: Summay The prenatal ontogeny of the hippocampus, including the anterior continuation and induseum griseum, was examined in the rat by means of tritiated thymidine autoradiography. The neurons of the anterior continuation formed between the 16th and 18th days of embryonic development. The neurons of the induseum griseum were formed on the 16th and 17th days of gestation. The pyramidal cells of ammon's horn were formed during the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th days of embryogenesis but were preceded by the large interneurons of the stratum lacunosum-moleculare which formed on days 15 and 16 of embryonic life. The granule cells of the superficial layers of the stratum granulosum formed during the 20th, 21st, and 22nd days of gestation.

    Notes: Summary Numerous cilia have been demonstrated by SEM in cells of rat perilobular and portal bile ducts and ductules. Generally these cilia appear as long, cylindrical evaginations of the plasma membrane. Some of them are so long that, curving and twisting at many points, they cross the ductal lumen. It has been suggested that they may be related to a continual mixing up and propulsion of the bile product down the biliary tree.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In der Rattenniere werden die muskelzellhaltigen arteriellen Gefäße und der juxtaglomeruläre Apparat innerviert. Blutgefäße mit Pericyten, porenhaltige Capillaren sowie die Tubuli der Rinde und des Markes werden nicht von Nervenfasern begleitet. Ganglienzellen wurden in der Rattenniere nicht beobachtet. Periphere Nerven mit einem ein-bis zweischichtigen Perineurium kommen im paravasalen Gewebe der Interlobar- und Arcuata-Arterien vor; sie enthalten neben zahlreichen marklosen Nervenfasern gewöhnlich auch 2–4 markhaltige. Nervenfaser-Bündel ohne perineurale Scheide finden sich im paravasalen Gewebe der Arcuata- und Interlobular-Arterien. Darüber hinaus sind in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft der großen Arterien (Interlobar-, Arcuata- und Inter-lobular-arterien) und der Vasa afferentia marklose Nervenfasern und freie Axone vorhanden, die auch die proximalen Abschnitte der Vasa efferentia der subcapsulären und intermediären Rindenschicht begleiten. Im Nierenmark werden die juxtamedullären Vasa efferentia und die Arteriolae rectae innerviert; marklose Nervenfasern und freie Axone sind nur bis zur Außen-Innenstreifen-Grenze nachweisbar. Die Innervation der muskelzellhaltigen arteriellen Gefäße erfolgt durch aufgetriebene Axonabschnitte (Neuroeffektor-Zonen), die vorwiegend agranuläre Vesikel enthalten. Diese Strukturen liegen stets an der Grenze von Adventitia und Media bzw. Elastica externa; zwischen den glatten Muskelzellender Media wurden keine vesikelhaltigen Axonabschnitte gefunden. Als minimaler Abstand zwischen den vesikelhaltigen Axonabschnitten und den von einer Basalmembran umschlossenen glatten Muskelzellen (neuromuskuläre Distanz) wurden 600 Å gemessen. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse werden mit den fluoreszenzmikroskopischen und histochemischen Untersuchungen über die adrenerge und cholinerge Innervation der Niere verglichen. Die sich aus diesem Vergleich ergebenden Probleme und funktionellen Konsequenzen für die Innervation der Niere sowie die Natur der cholinergen Fasern (afferente oder postganglionäre parasympathische Fasern) werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The innervation of the rat kidney is defined by a system which supplies those arterial blood vessels whose walls contain smooth muscle cells and the juxtaglomerular apparatus. Vessels containing pericytes, or those vessels composed of an endothelium only, as well as the tubules of both the cortex and medulla, are not innervated. Furthermore, ganglion cells do not occur in the rat kidney. The nervous apparatus of the rat kidney consists of peripheral vegetative nerves, ensheathed by a perineurium, with 2–4 myelinated fibers running in the paravasal tissue of the interlobar and arcuate arteries, and of nerve bundles without a perineurial sheath in the paravasal tissue of the arcuate and interlobular arteries. Non-myelinated fibers and free axons occur in the immediate vicinity of the great arteries (interlobar, arcuate, and interlobular) and the vasa afferentia. Nerve fibers and free axons are also seen in the vicinity of only the proximal parts of those vasa efferentia which supply the cortical capillary plexus. The arteriolae rectae of the medulla, and their vasa efferentia, from which they arise, are innervated by non-myelinated fibers and free axons which accompany these arterial vessels only to the boundary of the outer and inner stripe of the outer zone of the medulla. The functional innervation of those vessels with smooth muscle cells results from neuro-effector zones which predominantly show agranular vesicles. These structures were never seen between the smooth muscle cells within the media; the minimum neuromuscular distance was 600 Å. The present findings are correlated with the lightmicroscopically demonstrated adrenergic and cholinergic innervation. The resultant problems and functional consequences of the innervation of the kidney, especially the nature of the cholinergic fibers (afferent or post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers) are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary With methylene blue stain, three morphological types of motor nerve terminals were distinguished in hindlimb muscles (extensor digitorum longus, semitendinosus, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles) of rat. Type A terminals possess many long thin branches with numerous minute swellings, type C ones possess few and thick terminal branches with few large swellings, and type B ones possess intermediate characteristics. The frequencies of occurrence of these types are characteristic for each muscle and differ between different hindlimb muscles. Specifically, soleus muscle contains a much higher proportion of type B terminals than other hindlimb muscles, and the superficial part of tibialis anterior muscle contains a higher proportion of type A terminals and a lower proportion of type C ones than the deep part. The frequencies of occurrence of types A, B, and C terminals closely parallel the frequencies of “white”, “intermediate”, and “red” muscle fibers (as determined by a fat stain), respectively, in the different muscles. As also suggested previously for the diaphragm, it is concluded that three morphological types of motor nerve terminals each may innervate one of three types of muscle fibers.

    Notes: Summary In the outer layer of the rat median eminence “Gomori-positive” granules occur which are assumed to be the morphological correlate of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). The present study was carried out in order to establish whether the amount of these CRF-granules is influenced by a pantothenic acid (PA)-deficiency, which is known to result in an inhibition of corticosteroid production. Female SPF Wistar rats were used. PA-deficiency was induced by PA-free nutrition and/or administration of the PA-antagonist Ω-methyl-PA. Corresponding experimental groups were given either tap water or a solution of 1% NaCl and 5% glucose in tap water to drink. In rats fed with a diet free of PA and in addition treated with Ω-methyl-PA a severe disturbance of the corticoid balance developed within 6 weeks. The corticosterone production was depressed to about 11–16% of the control values. The adrenal cortex showed necrotic changes which either involved the whole parenchyma or were confined to the inner zones. In those animals in which a subcapsular region, in its extent corresponding to the zona glomerulosa, remained intact, an augmentation of the CRF-granules was observed. In those animals, however, in which the whole adrenal cortex was damaged, the amount of CRF-granules did not increase. Administration of the 1% NaCl containing drinking fluid did not influence the augmentation of the CRF granules, but had a protective effect on the development of necrotic changes in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. The findings show that a functional relationship exists between the inner zones of the adrenal cortex and the CRF-granules in the median eminence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die maximalen Blutalkoholkonzentrationen nach oraler Gabe von 6,4 g/kg Äthanol in Form einer 40%igen Lösung (v/v) betrugen bei nicht nüchternen Meerschweinchen 6,8±0,3 mg/ml, bei nicht nüchternen Ratten dagegen nur 2,1±0,2 mg/ml. An nüchternen Tieren führte eine orale Alkoholbelastung von 4,8 g/kg zu maximalen Blutalkoholspiegeln von 6,3±0,2 mg/ml bei den Meerschweinchen und 3,7±0,3 mg/ml bei den Ratten. Intravenös injizierter Alkohol (1 g/kg) wurde demgegenüber von beiden Species mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit eliminiert (275 mg/kg · Std), und die auf das Körpergewicht bezogene ADH-Aktivität der Leber war bei den Meerschweinchen um 20% größer als bei den Ratten. Die Resorption von Äthanol erfolgt somit bei Ratten erheblich langsamer als bei Meerschweinchen. Dies dürfte darauf beruhen, daß konzentrierte Alkohollösungen die Magenentleerung der Ratte stark verzögern. Niedriger konzentrierte Alkohollösungen werden von der Ratte schneller resorbiert; jedoch waren auch nach Gabe von 10%igem Alkohol die maximalen Blutalkoholspiegel bei Ratten noch um 36% niedriger als bei Meerschweinchen. Bei den Meerschweinchen waren nach oraler Gabe von 4,8 bzw. 6,4 g/kg Äthanol die Serumaktivitäten der GOT, GPT und GLDH erhöht; ein Anstieg der SGOT trat schon nach 1,6 g/kg Äthanol auf. Demgegenüber kam es bei Ratten nach 6,4 g pro kg Äthanol p.o. nur zu geringfügigen Aktivitätserhöhungen der Serumtransaminasen, während die Serumaktivität der GLDH unverändert blieb. Vacuolige Degeneration war das morphologische Substrat der durch Äthanol bei Meerschweinchen und Ratten ausgelösten Leberschädigung. Während diese Veränderung bei Meerschweinchen bereits nach einer Äthanoldosis von 1,6 g/kg auftrat, wurde sie bei Ratten erst nach 6,4 g/kg beobachtet. Schlußfolgerung: Das Meerschweinchen ist für Untersuchungen zur Toxicität von Äthanol besser geeignet als die Ratte.
    Notes: Abstract In fed guinea pigs, an oral dose of 6.4 g/kg of ethanol given as a 40% solution (v/v) produced a maximal blood alcohol level of 6.8±0.3 mg/ml, whereas in fed rats, blood alcohol levels after the same dose did not exceed 2.1±0.2 mg/ml. Maximal blood alcohol levels in fasted animals after an oral load of 4.8 g/kg of ethanol were 6.3±0.2 mg/ml in guinea pigs and 3.7±0.3 mg/ml for rats. However, i.v. injected ethanol (1 g/kg) was eliminated at the same rate in both species (275 mg per kg · h), and ADH activity of the liver related to body weight was by 20% greater in guinea pigs than in rats. Therefore, absorption of ethanol occurs at a much slower rate in rats than in guinea pigs. This is possibly due to the fact that high ethanol concentrations strongly delay emptying of the rat stomach. Lowering the ethanol concentration accelerates absorption rate in the rat. However, even after gavage of a 10% solution peak levels of blood alcohol were still lower by 36% in rats than in guinea pigs. In guinea pigs, increased serum activities of GOT, GPT, and GLDH occurred after an oral dose of 4.8 g/kg or 6.4 g/kg of ethanol, respectively. SGOT already increased after 1.6 g/kg of ethanol p.o. After 6.4 g/kg of ethanol given to rats serum transaminase levels increased only slightly, and GLDH activity not at all. Vacuolar degeneration was the morphological substrate of ethanol-induced liver damage in guinea pigs and rats. In guinea-pigs, it occurred already after 1.6 g/kg of ethanol, whereas in rats only after 6.4 g/kg. In conclusion, the guinea pig seems to be better suited for research on alcohol toxicity than the rat.

    Notes: Summary Mean firing rates (per 10 sec) of preoptic neurons of the rat were recorded at normal temperature and after central warming and cooling. Thermosensitivity was determined according to the reactions of the mean firing rate. In compatibility with results from other animals we obtained the following percentages (52 neurons): 23% warm-sensitive, 13% cold-sensitive, 64% non-thermosensitive neurons. However, it turned out that a lot of interesting special effects are not taken into account, using exclusively the criterion “increasing/decreasing/constant mean firing rate”. Particularly we observed long lasting adaption processes and stationary non-linear effects as well as striking oscillations which were dependent on the thermal stimuli, while the mean interval value remained constant.

    Notes: Summary In order to demonstrate the ascending projection from the locus ceruleus by degeneration silver method, the nucleus was destroyed unilaterally in rats and the brains were stained by a modified Fink-Heimer method following various survival times. Additional experiments included the bilateral destruction of the locus ceruleus and the administration of 6-OH-DOPA. For the demonstration of degenerated terminals in the cerebral cortex it is essential to choose an optimal survival time of 4 or 5 days, keep the time of fixation below 1 week, and perform treatments with permanganate and with silver at 37°C. The trajectory and distribution of the cerulo-cortical tract as revealed by the silver degeneration methods is in agreement with the results of the histofluorescence method, with some minor differences. The ascending fibers run through Forel's tegmental fascicle, turn rostro-ventrally to the subthalamus, enter and cross the internal capsule, pass through the ventral part of the caudate-putamen and distribute to the entire cerebral cortex. The tract is mainly ipsilateral, though some fibers are crossing.

    Notes: Summary Wistar rats of both sexes and the same litter were exposed to chronic lead intoxication from birth untill sacrifice 9 months later. Lead was administered as 0.4% solution of lead nitrate in drinking water. Samples from the parietal brain cortex were examined electron microscopically following intracardiac perfusion with paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde solution. Similar changes were observed in the microglial cells and the vascular pericytes whereas all the other tissue elements appeared intact. Both cell types hypertrophied, the microglia assumed characteristic spindle or rod shape, the cell organelles increased, the microglial endoplasmic reticulum widened strongly and a large number of lipid inclusions appeared. The latter consisted of large lipid droplets of varying size and shape, containing multiple zones of low density, and a dense component with a coarse granular structure. The similarity in the response of both cell entities to the lesion as well as some probable functions of microglial cells and their relationship to vascular pericytes are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Wistar strain of rats received daily intraperitoneal or oral administration of Triparanol, 250 mg per kg of body weight or 20,25-diazacholesterol either 30 mg or 60 mg per kg of body weight starting at the age of 5 days old. Prominent intracytoplasmic osmiophilic inclusions identical to those found in the rats treated with AY9944 (Suzukiet al., 1973) and degeneration of myelin sheaths and oligodendroglia were seen in the myelinating white matter of rats sacrificed after 3, 6, and 9 injections of Triparanol. In diazacholesterol-treated animals, a few identical inclusions were seen in the cortical neurons but only slight changes were seen in oligodendroglia. Biochemical analysis of the brains of the rats receiving Triparanol revealed a large accumulation ofΔ 7,24-cholestadiene-3β-ol and lesser amounts of desmosterol. The brains of the animals treated with diazacholesterol revealed massive accumulation of desmosterol and a minor sterol component, probablyΔ 5,7,24-cholestatriene-3β-ol. Since AY9944, which results in a massive accumulation of 7 dehydrocholesterol (Δ 5,7-cholestadiene-3β-ol) and two other sterols,Δ 7,24-cholestadiene-3β-ol andΔ 5,7,24-cholestatriene-3β-ol, will produce identical neuropathological lesions to those seen in Triparanol treated animals, and since the lesion produced in diazacholesterol treated animals was very slight, there appears to be a correlation between the presence of sterols with a double bond at the 7-position and neuropathological lesions in young rats.

    Notes: Summary By means of the explant technique a series of primary tumours induced by methylnitrosourea (MNU) or ethylnitrosourea (ENU) in the brain of rats were cultured in vitro. The morphology of isomorphic oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, glioblastomas and sarcomas under in vitro conditions is described. All these neoplasias show a very distinct morphological picture and growth behaviour, thus permitting their classification. Most of the tumours tend to anaplastic changes during longer cultivation, but in some cases, preferably in well differentiated gliomas, the cytological properties are maintained even during longterm cultivation. The role of anaplasia and intermingling of different neoplastic cell types in experimental tumours are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) developed in 15 of 30 rats injected with a mixture of Freund's adjuvant and homogenized guinea pig brain, and killed after 6–29 days. The incidence and severity of the disease increased with time after inoculation and in 2 animals involvement of the epiphysis, not previously reported in EAE, was detected. Toxic effects on cells in cultured adult rat cerebellar cortical tissue were produced by exposure for 24 h to the sera of rats killed 12–29 days after inoculation either with the antigenic suspension or with adjuvant alone. Severe toxicity to axons (widespread fragmentation) was produced only by the sera of animals injected with antigenic inocula and killed 17–29 days later. Severe axonal toxicity was not, however, correlated with the presence of EAE in the rats from which the sera were taken. It was not possible to assess myelinotoxic effects in the system used. It is suggested that the organ culture technique may detect the presence in the sera of inoculated animals of toxic principles which, owing to the blood-brain barrier, do not normally contribute to the pathogenesis of EAE.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of the administration of l-Dopa, 10 or 100 mg/kg i.p., on the α-methyltyrosine methylester HCl (α-MT; 250+50 mg/kg i. p.) or tetrabenazine (TBZ; 2 mg/kg i.p.)-induced suppression of a successive discrimination-conditioned avoidance task has been studied. It was found that administration of the high l-Dopa dose resulted in a reversal of the α-MT- or TBZ-induced suppression of the avoidance behaviour, although the discrimination was lost. Restoration of the avoidance behaviour and the correct discrimination was obtained with the low l-Dopa dose after α-MT but not after TBZ. The difference in the behavioural response to l-Dopa after α-MT as compared to the response obtained after TBZ is discussed in terms of the availability of the catecholamines formed from l-Dopa for release by the nerve impulses. Biochemical determinations of brain noradrenaline and dopamine were made in parallel. Further, a simple and reliable method for the aquisition of a successive discrimination in the rat is described.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this research was to determine if 2 drugs, scopolamine and physostigmine which have opposite effects on cholinergic transmission also produce opposite effects on fixed-interval (FI) performance. Scopolamine and a wide range of doses of physostigmine were administered singly and concurrently to a number of rats responding on a FI 2 min schedule. Scopolamine produced a disruption in FI curvature which could be antagonized by physostigmine, but physostigmine by itself produced no consistent change.

    Notes: Abstract Three experiments were performed on Sprague-Dawley derived rats in which 3.0 mg/kg, i.p., injections of methamphetamine were paired with either, (1) a distinctive spatial enclosure, i.e., either a black or gray portion of a shuttle box with discriminably different flooring, (2) the enclosure plus 0.1% saccharin solution availability in the home cage, or (3) the enclosure plus 0.1% saccharin solution availability in that area. Following three drug pairings which alternated with saline injections paired with a different enclosure or enclosure plus H2O availability, a choice of either spatial (1), or spatial plus gustatory stimuli (2,3) which included the original CS's, were presented under non-drug, non-injection conditions. Control groups received saline injections each day under identical conditions. No aversion to the enclosed area, which had been paired with the drug was demonstrated under (1), gustatory (P=0.005) but not spatial aversion was in evidence in the second paradigm, and spatial (P=0.01) and gustatory (P〈0.01) aversion was exhibited in the last study. It was concluded that subsequent aversion to distinctive spatial enclosures following methamphetamine injections was not as strong an effect as similar aversions to gustatory stimuli. Furthermore, the effect only obtained to neutral and not to preferred spatial areas at the dose level tested and in the apparatus used in those studies.

    Notes: Abstract Effects of lithium chloride on the social behaviour of male and female rats were measured in unfamiliar and familiar test situations using a photographic technique. Lithium-treated females showed an increase in body contact and a decrease in social distances in comparison with saline-treated controls in both test conditions. Males administered lithium showed increased corner occupancies in the novel test setting while in the familiar test they showed decreased body contact and increased average group social distance in comparison with the saline condition. Further tests in an exploration box confirmed that lithium decreased the general environmental responsiveness of male rats. The results are discussed with reference to the anti-aggressive effect of lithium.

    Notes: Abstract Factorial analysis of rat cerebral 5-HT values observed following intraperitoneal LSD-25 and UML (1-methyl-d-lysergic acid butanolamide) showed that the highly significant decrease induced by both drugs was independent of dose and that the effect of both drugs was the same. Increased platelet 5-HT values were also obtained with each drug. These findings suggest that the psychotomimetic effect of LSD-25 is not due to changes in cerebral 5-HT, since a relationship can probably be postulated between such an effect in man and the effect of LSD-25 on conditioned behaviour in the rat. It is also felt that the fact that these drugs decrease and increase cerebral and platelet values respectively may be of assistance in the interpretation of data relating to platelet 5-HT patterns in man under psychiatric conditions and during treatment with psychotropic drugs.

    Notes: Abstract In rats treated acutely and chronically with ethanol, brain serotonin (5-HT) turnover was determined by measuring in the same animals the rate of accumulation of 5-HT and the rate of decline of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the brain after administration of the MAO inhibitor pargyline-HCl. In the acute study, 5-HT turnover was not altered after a single 4 g/kg oral dose of ethanol. In two separate studies, it was shown that chronic administration of ethanol in the form of a liquid diet for 32 days also did not alter brain 5-HT turnover, even when the rats had developed a significant degree of tolerance to the motor-impairing effects of ethanol. These results suggest that tolerance to ethanol is unrelated to any change in brain 5-HT turnover.

    Notes: Abstract When two animals were placed in a hole-board the number of headdips made by each rat was twice the number made when tested alone, but was the same for pairs of drugged (2 mg/kg chlorpromazine) and undrugged rats, and for pairs where only one rat was drugged. This contrasts with the reduction of headdipping produced by chlorpromazine in single animals. However, chlorpromazine still reduced general motor activity, regardless of whether the partner was drugged or not. The activity of the undrugged rats was affected by the partner's state and was lower when the partner was drugged.

    Notes: Abstract Sulpiride, a new psychotropic drug with neuroleptic activity, was administered to rats in a Sidman avoidance schedule. Doses ranging from 1 to 80 mg/kg resulted in the animal receiving fewer shocks. This effect was not correlated with an increase of responding and seemed unrelated to the suppressing action abruptly observed at high doses (i. e. 150 to 200 mg/kg).

    Notes: Abstract The influence of 6-hydroxydopa (6-HDP) injected into the lateral ventricles of rat brain on the behaviour of animals was examined. The level of noradrenaline (NA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in discrete areas of the brain was also measured. 6-HDP was injected in a dose of 100 or 150 Μg into both lateral ventricles, or in a dose of 200 Μg into the right lateral ventricle. Immediately after 6-HDP injection, circling movements, convulsions, aggressive behaviour, and Stereotypic activity were seen. These components of behaviour were most obvious during the first hour after injection of 6-HDP. During one month after 6-HDP administration the behaviour of rats did not differ significantly from the behaviour of control animals, only very subtle differences in behaviour being seen. The dose of 150 Μg of 6-HDP caused aphagia and loss of body weigth during the first 5 days after treatment. 6-HDP also caused hypothermia. 20 min after administration of 200 Μg of 6-HDP a decrease of the NA level but no changes in the 5-HT level in the brain cortex were seen. The same changes were observed 1 month after 6-HDP treatment. The dose of 150 Μg of 6-HDP decreased the NA level in the brain cortex, cerebellum, mesencephalon and brain stem 5 days after treatment. 5-HT content was not changed and the 5-HIAA level was increased in the same brain areas. The dose of 100 Μg of 6-HDP, 2 weeks after the treatment decreased the content of NA in the brain cortex, cerebellum, hypothalamus and brain stem without changes in 5-HT content. 5-HIAA level was elevated only in the brain stem. It is concluded that 6-HDP is a long-acting potent depletor of NA in rat brain. There is a different sensitivity of brain areas to the depleting effect of 6-HDP. 6-HDP does not deplete the 5-HT content of discrete areas of brain but increases the level of 5-HIAA. 6-HDP causes distinct behavioural changes shortly after the treatment. It does not change the behaviour of rats between 1 and 30 days after its administration.

    Notes: Abstract In a one-way avoidance task with rats, injections of Librium (chlordiazepoxide) following avoidance acquisition resulted in prolonged resistance-to-extinction of the avoidance response. This effect occurred regardless of whether the rats had had prior experience with Librium or whether they were naive with respect to the drug. The same results were found with the same task when low doses of Valium were used. However, at a higher dosage an “extreme reaction” of either no responding or a high number of responses to extinction occurred in the naive animals. The Librium and Valium effects were compared to similar effects obtained using ethanol and hashish resin. These results indicate that the novelty hypothesis as originally stated by Amit and Baum cannot be supported because experience with the drugs prior to avoidance training did not attenuate the drug effect on avoidance.

    Notes: Summary 1. In vivo uricase activity was tested in rats by injection of 2-C14 urate and measurement of the total C14 activity and the fractional activities of allantoin, allantoic acid and urea in samples of blood and urine. In control animals, 5 min after the injection, 70% of the plasma tracer was already present in the form of allantoin. No allantoic acid and urea were produced. Intestinectomy had no measurable influence on uricase activity. On the other hand, hepatectomy or ligation of the hepatic artery combined with subtotal viscerectomy did abolish uricase activity almost completely. 2. Following microinjections into proximal tubules of Ringer solution containing 2-C14 urate, urine samples during early recovery mainly contained labelled urate, whereas in later samples the fraction of labelled allantoin increased. About 12 min after the microinjection the urine of both kidneys contained equal amounts of tracer mainly in the form of allantoin. 3. When segments of proximal tubules were perfused with an equilibrium solution containing tracer amounts of C 14 urate, no urate was metabolized during its passage through the proximal tubule. 4. C 14 urate was offered from the peritubular capillaries and samples of tubular fluid were analyzed, Again, all the tracer in the tubular fluid was in the form of urate, indicating that urate is not oxidized when it is transported across the tubular cell. It is concluded from these results that: 1. The rat kidney has no significant uricase activity. 2. Urate transport in the kidney is not influenced by this enzyme. 3. The degradation of urate to allantoin takes place at extrarenal sites, mainly in the liver.

    Notes: Summary Reabsorption rates for urate in the loops of Henle were measured in superficial nephrons in the rat 1. under conditions of free flow, 2. using microperfusion and 3. by a microinjection technique. 1. Under conditions of free flow distally measured TF/PUA/TF/PIn-values varied between 0.51 and 0.38 in antidiuretic rats, depending on TF/PIn (UA = both uric acid and urate, In = inulin, TF/P = concentration in tubular fluid to plasma concentration). The corresponding values in samples from end-proximal tubules were 1.06 and in urine 0.19 (U/PUA/U/PIn). 2. In microperfusion experiments of Henle loops early distal recoveries of 2-C14 urate varied between 57 and 86%, depending on the flow rates (10–40 nl/min). 3. In microinjection experiments C14 recovery in urine was about 85% when tracer solution was microinjected into endproximal tubules. From these results we conclude: 1. The main site of urate reabsorption is located in the loops of Henle. 2. This reabsorption is highly dependent on flow rates. Increase of flow rate through Henle's loop decreases urate reabsorption.

    Notes: Summary Interaction of urate with human and rat plasma was studied by a dialysis technique at different temperatures. At 4° C a certain fraction of urate is bound to proteins. However, this fraction diminishes with increasing temperature and at 37° C only some 7–8% (in man) and 2% (in rat) interact with proteins. The finding that urate is almost completely filtered in the glomerulus is discussed. In body areas exposed to low temperatures protein binding of urate may be of importance. Urate uptake by erythrocytes is characterized by two components: a fast component equilibrating almost immediately at about 7% in man and 17% in rat and a slow component reaching equilibrium after 60 min, at 28% and 36%, respectively. The process is described by a mathematical formula. Lowering of the temperature mainly diminishes uptake by the slow component withQ 10-values ranging between 1.5 and 4.0. In the observed range of concentrations the uptake process does not saturate. The results at lower pH-values suggest that it is unionized uric acid which is transported by the slow component. Application of the data to kidney medulla supports the hypothesis that erythrocytes and, probably, to a lesser extent plasma proteins serve as vehicles for urate reabsorption in the countercurrent system. Such a temporary interaction enables uric acid to escape recirculation and to leave the kidney medulla.

    Notes: Summary In rats born and staying their whole life at a simulated altitude of 3500 m a severe cardiac hypertrophy develops which is most pronounced in the right ventricle. On histological sections muscle fiber and capillary densities were counted and the surfaces occupied by muscle fibers and capillaries in the slides were estimated. Mean muscle fiber diameter and half mean distance between capillaries (diffusion distance) were obtained in the heart ventricles and were compared with those of control animals. In both ventricles an increase of the mean muscle fiber diameter occurred (true hypertrophy), being more pronounced in the right ventricle. We cannot tell whether also hyperplasia of muscle fibers occurred or not. The diffusion distance in the left ventricle of rats exposed to hypoxia was about the same as in control animals but was shorter in the right ventricle. This indicates that the total number of capillaries is higher in both ventricles of rats born in the low pressure chamber (hyperplasia of the capillaries). The shortening of the diffusion distance in the right ventricle of rats born and living their whole life at simulated high altitude was on the average smaller than that of rats exposed to simulated high altitude later in life. The physiological importance of this observation is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Stationary spike-trains of preoptic neurons of the rat were submitted to a correlation- and spectral-analysis at normal temperature and after central warming and cooling. Correlograms and periodograms were computed which enable the elimination of stochastic signal components and the identification of the relevant periodic components. About one half of the analysed neurons showed periodic correlograms. The following three classes may be distinguished: Neurons which showed correlograms with periodicities at each applied thermal state, at only one or two thermal states and those with no recognizable periodicities at all. Relations between periodicity and the thermosensitivity of the neurons are discussed.

Die Kinetik des Calciumstoffwechsels wurde unter Verwendung von45Ca als Tracer analysiert. Die radiochemischen Resultate wurden mit den histologischen Beobachtungen an den Epi-Metaphysen der Kniegelenke verglichen. Bei den Versuchstieren mit verhinderter Koprophagie fanden wir: 1. ein hochsignifikant niedrigeres Körpergewicht; 2. eine hochsignifikante Verkleinerung folgender Parameter des Calciumstoffwechsels: Compartmentgröße und Austauschrate zwischen ihnen, Calciumausscheidungsraten, Knochenan- und -abbau; 3. eine Verschmälerung der Wachstumsfuge, verkürzte und verschmälerte primäre Knochenbälkchen, verminderte sekundäre metaphysäre Spongiosa. Bei 4 Versuchstieren, die in Lederpanzern gehalten, denen jedoch die Koprophagie ermöglicht war, wurden gleichartige histologische Veränderungen wie bei verhinderter Koprophagie festgestellt. Es wird gefolgert, daß die Verhinderung der Koprophagie keinen meßbaren Einfluß auf die Parameter des Calciumstoffwechsels hat.
    Notes: Summary We investigated the influence of coprophagy on the calcium metabolism of the rat. 20 experimental animals were prevented from coprophagy by wrapping them in leather harnesses and compared with 21 controls on the same food intake. Kinetics of calcium metabolism were analysed using45Ca as tracer. The radiochemical results were compared with the histological observations in the epi-metaphyses of the knee joints. In the experimental animals prevented from coprophagy we found: 1. a highly significant lower body weight; 2. a highly significant diminution of the following parameters of calcium metabolism: compartment sizes and exchange rate between them, calcium excretion rates, bone accretion and resorption; 3. a narrower epiphyseal growth cartilage, clearly shorter and narrower primary trabeculae, rarefied secondary metaphyseal trabeculae. Histological alterations identical to those observed with coprophagy prevented, were found in 4 animals kept in harnesses but with coprophagy allowed. It is concluded that prevention of coprophagy has no measurable influence on the parameters of calcium metabolism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei männlichen Wistarratten wurde eine trunkuläre beiderseitige Vagotomie — ergänzt durch eine Pyloroplastik — angelegt. 4 Wochen später erfolgte in Urethannarkose eine Perfusion des Magens mit 0,9%iger NaCl-Lösung in Anlehnung an die Versuchsanordnung von Ghosh. Die Vollständigkeit der Vagotomie bestätigte ein Hypoglykämietest. Im Abstand von 150 min erhielten die Tiere — in 6 Gruppen zu je 10 Ratten — 2 × 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 oder 300 µg/kg KG Pentagastrin subcutan. Die statistisch ausgewerteten Ergebnisse lassen sich wie folgt zusammenfassen: 1. Die nach dem Abklingen der Wirkung der ersten Pentagastrininjektion wiederholte Pentagastringabe in derselben Dosis ergab bei allen Dosierungen eine höhere Säuresekretion als nach der ersten Injektion. 2. Ein Maximum der sezernierten Säuremenge wurde bei einer Dosis von 100 µg/kg KG erreicht. Bei höherer Dosierung des Pentagastrins nahm die Menge der sezernierten Säure signifikant ab.
    Notes: Summary Male Wistar rats were subjected to a complete bilateral vagotomy and a pyloroplasty. 4 weeks later followed in urethane anesthesia a continuous perfusion of the stomach with 0.9% saline according to the rat preparation of Ghosh. The completeness of the gastric vagotomy was confirmed by a postoperative insulin test. In an interval of 150 min the rats — in 6 groups of 10 rats each — were two times injected pentagastrin subcutaneously in dose rates of 50, 100, 150, 250 or 300 µg/kg body weight. The statistical confirmed results can be summarized as followed: 1. The second injection of pentagastrin — 150 min after the first — in the same dose produced a significantly higher gastric acid secretion in the rat all dose rates in comparison to the first injection. 2. The maximal gastric acid secretion was produced by a dose rate of 100 µg/kg body weight of pentagastrin. At higher dose rates of pentagastrin there was a significant reduction of gastric acid secretion.

Das Tubulusepithel ist flachkubisch umgewandelt, das Tubuluslumen ist angefüllt mit ausgestoßenen Mitochondrien und anderen Zelltrümmern. Am stärksten betroffen ist die Pars contorta des proximalen Tubulus. Weniger stark veränderte Tubuluszellen sind angefüllt mit Cytosomen, die eine spezifische Feinstruktur haben oder gehäuft gegenüber Kontrollen Cytoplasmaprotrusionen in das Tubuluslumen aufweisen. Die akute Tubulusdegeneration ist ein spezifischer Effekt von SP 54. Heparin bewirkt nur eine leichte Schwellung des Tubulusepithels, die häufiger auftritt als bei Kontrolltieren.
    Notes: Summary 24 hrs after the intravenous injection of 100 mg/kg of a Pentosansulfuricacidester (SP 54) severe degenerative alterations are observed in the proximal tubular cells in rat kidney cortex. The tubular epithelium has changed to a single layer of elongated cubic cells. The tubular lumen is filled with cellular debris and extruded mitochondria. The greatest change is seen in the pars contorta of the proximal tubule. Less degenerated tubular cells have a great number of cytosomes with a specific substructure or have cytoplasmatic protrusions into the tubular lumen. This acute tubular degeneration is a specific event after the administration of SP 54 and is not seen after an equimolar dosis of Heparin. Heparin induces only a slight swelling of the tubular epithelium, more frequent seen as in the control animals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch eine 5/6-Nierenparenchymreduktion wurde an Ratten ein chronisches, durch bilaterale Nephrektomie ein akutes urämisches Syndrom erzeugt. Beim chronischen urämischen Syndrom erwiesen sich in der Serumanalyse die Konzentrationen des Harnstoffstickstoffs und des Kreatinins als wesentlich erhöht. Darüber hinaus bestanden alle chemischen Zeichen eines sekundären Hyperparathyreoidismus. Die Tiere litten außerdem an einer schweren Poly-, Protein- und Albuminurie. Überraschenderweise war aber der Spiegel des totalen Serumproteins gegenüber den Kontrolltieren erhöht. Das experimentelle chronische urämische Syndrom stellt eine extreme Adaptation der regulatorischen Aktivität des Nierenrestparenchyms und des ganzen Organismus dar. Beim akuten, durch bilaterale Nephrektomie erzeugten urämischen Syndrom besteht dagegen ein schweres Versagen der Regulation des Wasser- und Elektrolytstoffwechsels, welches innert 50–60 Std zum Tode der Versuchstiere führt.
    Notes: Summary A chronic uremic syndrome was induced by 5/6 nephrectomy and an acute uremic syndrome by bilateral nephrectomy in rats. In the chronic uremic syndrome serum and urine analysis revealed a highly increased serum level of BUN and creatinine. Furthermore, all chemical signs typical of secondary hyperparathyroidism were present. The animals suffered from severe polyuria, protein- and albuminuria but, surprisingly, the total serum protein was increased. The experimental chronic uremic syndrome is, in essence, a syndrome of “extreme adaptation” of the regulatory activity of remnant renal parenchyma and of the whole body. In contrast, the acute uremic syndrome induced by bilateral nephrectomy is a severe disorder of water and electrolyte metabolism resulting in death of the experimental animals after 50–60 hrs.

    Notes: Summary The parietal layer of Bowman's capsule was examined in the rat in control animals and in animals made hypertensive by treatment with desoxycorticosterone acetatesaline and by clipping of the renal artery. At an early stage of elevation of blood pressure and, occasionally, prior to elevation of blood pressure, the epithelial cells of this layer showed basal cytoplasmic protrusion and reduplication accompanied by an increase in the thickness of the basement membrane. These changes preceded evidence of glomerular or renal arteriolar pathology. They presumably reflect either a response of this layer to increased blood pressure and modified glomerular function, or a direct effect of the factors that also induces blood pressure elevation. In either case, they imply a greater functional significance for the parietal layer than has usually been attributed to it.

    Notes: Summary This paper reports on an electron microscopic study of the adrenal zona glomerulosa in the normal rat, with special emphasis on the structural diversity of mitochondria in its parenchymatous cells. The mitochondria of cristae may be tubulo-vesicular, plate-like and/or straight tubular, any one mitochondrion containing one or more types of cristae. The mitochondrial features of the zona glomerulosa parenchymatous cells are attributed to the biochemical stages of aldosterone synthesis, taking place in different mitochondria of these cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion des juxtaglomerulären Apparates auf Adrenalektomie wurde untersucht. Im Stadium der Nebenniereninsuffizienz, sechs Tage nach der Operation, wurde quantitativ morphometrisch eine Abnahme der Volumendichte der Sekretgranula (von 32% auf 16%) festgestellt. Golgi-Apparat und Ergastoplasma proliferieren stark, wobei insbesondere die erweiterten Cisternen des Ergastoplasmas auffallen.
    Notes: Summary The response of the Juxtaglomerular apparatus to bilateral adrenalectomy was studied in rats. After the sixth postoperative day, symptoms of severe adrenal insufficiency had developed. In the Juxtaglomerular cells, the volume density of the secretory granules decreased from 32% to 16%. The Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum underwent considerable proliferation, the latter showing strikingly enlarged cisternae.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei der Ratte findet die sexuelle Differenzierung der Gonade zwischen dem 14. und 15. Tag post conceptionem (p.c.) statt. Während dieser Zeit teilen sich die Oogonien und deren Parallelpopulation—die M-prospermatogonien (multiplying prospermatogonia) oder I-Gonocyten—sehr häufig. Um den 17. Tag p.c. tritt die letzte Generation der Oogonien bzw. der M-prospermatogonien in die Mitose. Die Mitosen bilden häufig “synchronisierte Gruppen”. Die postmitotischen Kerne ihrer Tochterzellen—der Oocyten und der T 1 prospermatogonien (primary transitional prospermatogonia) oder II-Gonocyten—sind klein. Ihr Chromatin ist in Form gröberer Schollen der Kernmembran angelagert. Auf diese Weise kommt das typische “krustenförmige” Aussehen bzw. die Ähnlichkeit mit den Prophasen der Oogonien und M-prospermatogonien zustande. Die Oocyten durchlaufen zunächst die G1-phase (etwa 10 Std Dauer) und treten dann—am Ende des Präleptotänstadiums—in die S-phase. Dann passieren sie die verschiedenen Stadien der meiotischen Prophase und treten vom 3. Tag post partum (p.p.) ab in das Dictyotänstadium. Die T1-prospermatogonien hingegen befinden sich etwa 10 Tage lang in der G1-phase, ohne wesentliche morphologische Veränderungen aufzuweisen. Vom 4. Tag p.p. an durchlaufen sie die S-Phase. Die S-Phasen-Dauer (D-S) beider Zellarten beträgt 11.5 Std und wurde durch Doppelmarkierung mit 14C- und 3H-Thymidin bestimmt. Als am besten geeignete Termine für die Bestimmung der D-S erwiesen sich bei den Oocyten der 18. Tag p.c. und bei den T1-prospermatogonien der 5. Tag p.p. Zu diesen beiden Zeitpunkten war die Anzahl der in die S-phase ein-und austretenden Oocyten bzw. T1-prospermatogonien gleich, die Zellen in S-phase befanden sich im “steady state”. Das Kernvolumen der Oogonien und M-prospermatogonien ist etwa doppelt so groß wie das der postmitotischen Oocyten und T1-prospermatogonien. Bis zum 5. Tage p.p. nimmt das Kernvolumen der Oocyten und T1-prospermatogonien um etwa das Fünffache zu. Der Degenerationsindex der Oocyten liegt wesentlich höher als der der T1-prospermatogonien; er ist postnatal besonders hoch. Aus den T1-prospermatogonien gehen am 4. und 5. Tage p.p. durch Teilung die T 2-prospermatogonien (secondary transitional prospermatogonia) hervor. Die Kerne dieses Zelltyps sind etwas kleiner also die der T1-prospermatogonien. Die T2-prospermatogonien treten am 6. Tage p.p. in die Mitose; es entstehen die ersten A-spermatogonien.
    Notes: Summary In the rat (Wistar-WU) sexual differentiation of the gonads occurs between days 14 and 15 post conception (p.c.). At this time the oogonia and their parallel population — the M-prospermatogonia (I-gonocytes)—divide rapidly. On about day 17 p.c., the last generation of oogonia and M-prospermatogonia, frequently arranged in synchronized clusters, enters mitosis. The postmitotic nuclei of their daughter cells—oocytes and T 1-prospermatogonia (II-gonocytes)—are small; coarse flakes of chromatin are associated with the nuclear membrane causing the typical “crustlike” appearance and the similarity with the prophases of oogonia and M-prospermatogonia. After the oocytes have passed a G1-phase of approximately 10 hr, they enter the S-phase at the end of the preleptotene stage. Then they pass the different stages of the meiotic prophase until they enter the dictyate stage from 3 day post partum (p.p.) onwards. The T1-prospermatogonia, on the other hand, spend a long G1-phase of about 10 days without any conspicuous morphological change before entering the S-phase from day 4 p.p. onwards. The duration of the S-pbase (D-S) of both cell types—oocytes and T1-prospermatogonia—as determined by the double labeling method with 14C- and 3H-thymidine is found to be 11.5 hr. The most favourable time for determining the D-S was day 18 p.c. for the oocytes and day 5 p.p. for the T1-prospermatogonia. On these two days the balance was reached between the cells entering and leaving the S-phase. The nuclear volumes of the postmitotic oocytes and T1-prospermatogonia are approximately half the size of those of their precursors. Until day 5 p.p. the nuclear volumes of the oocytes and T1-prospermatogonia increase about fivefold. The degeneration index of the oocytes is considerably higher than that of the T1-prospermatogonia; postnatally it is especially high. T 2 prospermatogonia arise by mitosis of the T1-prospermatogonia on day 4 and 5 p.p. The nuclei of this cell type are smaller than those of T1-prospermatogonia. T2-prospermatogonia enter mitosis on day 6 p.p and give rise to A-spermatogonia.

    Notes: Summary The cells of the pineal gland, the pineal stalk, and the lamina intercalaris contain 5-HT and are innervated by sympathetic nerve fibres. These peripheral nerve fibres continue rostrally from the lamina intercalaris and run into the central nervous tissue of stria medullaris and the habenular nuclei. Pharmacological treatment to increase the cellular 5-HT content revealed that the sympathetic fibres are in close relation to yellow fluorescent cells embedded in the brain tissue. These yellow fluorescent cells develop very late in the ontogenetic development (three weeks or more postnatally) and are preceded by ingrowth of sympathetic fibres into the brain tissue. The results support the hypothesis that the cells found in the habenular region are of pinealocyte rather than neuronal nature, but it is possible that they differ in certain aspects from the cells of the pineal gland proper.

    Notes: Mass spectra of a series of stable isotope derivatives aided a structure elucidation study of an amino acid amide (Tyr-NH2) and the following family of synthetic oligopeptides: Gly-Tyr-NH2, Gly-Gly-Tyr-NH2, Gln-Gly-Gly-Tyr-NH2, Gln-Gln-Gly-Gly-Tyr-NH2, Ala-Gln-Gln-Gly-Gly-Tyr-NH2, Ser-Ala-Gln-Gln-Gly-Gly-Tyr-NH2 and Lys-Ser-Ala-Gln-Gln-Gly-Gly-Tyr-NH2. This series of peptides was synthesized by classical methods. N,O-permethylated, N-acetylated derivatives were synthesized to provide sufficient volatility for mass spectrometry. Various combinations of stable isotope derivatives (CH3CO + CH3, CD3CO + CH3, CH3CO + CD3, CD3CO + CD3) confirmed proposed fragmentation pathways and corroborated hypothetical ion structures. This family of oligopeptides corresponds to the C-terminus of scotophobin.

    Notes: Thirty-two organic contaminants have been identified in District of Columbia drinking water. These contaminants include aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorocarbons, bromine-containing compounds, alcohols and ketones. The concentration of each constituent identified was less than one part per million. The organic contaminants were extracted from the water samples with a 1:1 mixture of carbon disulfide (CS2) and methylene chloride (CH2Cl2). Each constituent was identified by its gas chromatographic retention time and by its mass spectrum.

    Notes: The components of mixtures of dipeptides can be identified from the electron ionization and chemical ionization mass spectra of their N-acetylacetonyl methyl ester derivatives without prior separation. The pyrolytic conversion of peptide trimethylanilinium salts to their methyl esters in the direct insertion probe of a mass spectrometer was found to be most suitable for the derivatization of dipeptides in mixtures.

    Notes: Twelve derivatives of bilirubin were evaluated from the point of view of providing intense molecular ion peaks on electron impact and unambiguous molecular weights. The tetrakis-(trimethylsilyl) derivative of bilirubin was judged to be the most suitable because its molecular ion carries 22% of the total ion current and is the base peak in the spectrum. Molecular ions were found to carry 10% of the total ion current in the spectrum of the trimethylsilylated methyl ester of the phenylazo derivative of bilirubin. Fragmentation patterns of these two compounds were studied using deuterium labeling.

    Notes: Mass spectrometric analysis of peptide mixtures may lead to ambiguous results when it is possible to change from one peptide chain to another during the interpretation of the spectra. This kind of ambiguity can be eliminated by submission of part of the sample to one cycle of Edman degradation, followed by comparison of the results obtained for this preparation with those obtained for the nondegraded sample. Combination of this procedure with the use of deuterated derivatives has allowed an unambiguous interpretation for two mixtures of synthetic peptides.

    Notes: The field desorption mass spectra of ten medicinal carbamates - meprobamate, mebutamate, carisoprodol, emylcamate, bethanechol chloride, styramate, hydroxyphenamate, mephenesin carbamate, methocarbamol and chlorphenesin carbamate - were run and compared with their published electron impact spectra. Of the ten compounds run only emylcamate did not give a field desorption mass spectrum. All others gave abundant molecular ions, with the exception of bethanechol chloride which has a quarternary ammonium group and gave a field desorption spectrum characteristic of compounds possessing such a functional group. No general characteristic fragmentation was attributed to the carbamate function in the field desorption mode. However, the ease of obtaining abundant molecular ions or quasimolecular ions makes the field desorption method a valuable complementary technique to electron impact studies of carbamates.

    Notes: An azurin, a small respiratory copper protein from the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens biotype G, has been studied by mass spectrometry to determine sequence information. The study of homologously related proteins by mass spectiometry is particularly attractive, since the correct nature of major parts of the deduced sequences can be confirmed by comparison with the sequences of the protein from related organisms. An oxidized tryptohan residue has been identified amongst the products from a cyanogen bromide digest of this wild type azurin. In the same digest, a product is also found to arise from cleavage of the peptide chain at the C-terminal side of the same tryptophan residue. These results are rationalized.

    Notes: The mass spectral data for the primary fragmentation of partially ethylated alditol acetates have been tabulated in order to allow easy reference for the identification of these polysaccharide derivatives. Sodium borodeuteride is used in all the aldose to alditol reductions, since the presence of a single deuterium label on C-1 greatly increases the information available in the mass spectrum and allows some identifications to be made which would not otherwise be possible. The primary fragmentations of these derivatives are analogous to those of the partially methylated alditol acetates, with each fragment shifted to a higher m/e value by fourteen mass units for each ether linkage contained in the fragment. The secondary fragmentation is also very similar, being characterized by the loss of acetic acid or ketene, or, less frequently, by the loss of ethanol or acetaldehyde. Coupled with the chromatographic retention time data for the partially ethylated alditol acetates tabulated elsewhere, the unambiguous mass spectral identification makes this derivative an excellent choice as a complementary derivative to the partially methylated alditol acetates for polysaccharide analysis. The utility of the partially ethylated alditol as a routine analytical derivative is further enhanced by the almost identical procedures required for synthesis of the ethyl and methyl derivatives. Through the combined use of these derivatives, most of the possible linkage isomers of the seven common aldoses of plant cell wall polysaccharides can be resolved, identified and quantitated.

    Notes: The mass spectra of most nucleosides of cytosine exhibit molecular ions of low abundance, rearranged ions base + 2H in greater abundance than the companion species base + H, and a characteristic and abundant ion which corresponds to base + C2HO from the sugar. Deuterium, oxygen-18 and substituent labeling showed the presence of C-1′, 2′, H-2′ and O-4′ in the latter ion, which led to a proposed mechanism of formation involving opening of the sugar ring and recyclization between O2 and C-2′ with expulsion of water. Primary driving force for the reaction is due to resonance stabilization promoted by unshared electrons from N4, which results in diminished abundance in the case of imino isomers and derivatives which contain electron-withdrawing groups at N4, and enhanced abundance resulting from methylation at N4. Data for 24 nucleosides are presented and discussed in terms of the determination of nucleoside structure.

    Notes: The metabolism of sodium dipropylacetate (a newly developed anticonvulsant) was investigated in rats, and two metabolites were found in urine of rats which received dipropylacetate. The metabolites were identified as 2-n-propyl-5-hydroxypentanoic acid and 2-n-propylglutaric acid, respectively, by low and high resolution mass spectrometry. Synthetic 2-n-propylglutaric acid, when administered to rats, was not oxidized further and was excreted intact in urine. These data clearly show that ω-oxidation is involved in the metabolism of sodium dipropylacetate and that 2-n-propylglutaric acid, the end product of ω-oxidation, does not serve as a substrate for β-oxidation.

    Notes: Fragmentation studies of the mass spectra of 24 high purity compounds of importance in a study of fossil fuels are described. The substances include eleven 1-(2-thienyl)-1-thia-, six1-(2-thienyl)-3-thia, and seven1-(2-thienyl)-4-thiaalkanes in the molecular weight range 158 to 270. Rearrangement peaks are prominent in all spectra and form the base peaks for the 1-thia- and 4-thia- compounds. The 3-thia- compounds are somewhat perverse in exhibiting weaker rearrangement peaks, and large ion intensities, including base peaks, at masses typical of alkyl fragments, alkenyl fragments, or ions more characteristic of the thiaalkanes (aliphatic sulfides). The major fragment ions are discussed and their use in differentiating subclasses is described. Low ionization voltage data is presented in support of suggested mechanisms of fragmentation.

    Notes: Three mass fragmentatographic methods for the determination of unconjugated estriol in pregnancy plasma and unconjugated and conjugated estriol in plasma of nonpregnant women after estriol administration were developed and tested as to their reliability and practicability. The methods were found to fulfil appropriate reliability criteria especially with regard to specificity. Unconjugated estriol could be assayed without prior chromatography in late pregnancy plasma, but a chromatographic step was needed for plasmas with a low estriol titre, and both a methylation step and chromatography is needed to achieve the required specificity if plasma conjugated estriol is determined or if assays are carried out following estriol administration. Unconjugated estriol in normal late pregnancy plasma was found in concentrations from 4.3 to 9.3 μg/l. The highest value recorded, 16.3 μg/l, was found in a prediabetic subject with mild hypertension, who delivered a child weighing 4150 g by Cesarean section in the 39th week. Low values were found in severe hypertension and in toxemia, and in general the results from the pathological material investigated seemed to correlate well with the clinical findings. However, only a few samples (five to ten) can be processed so rapidly that the results can be obtained the same day, which in addition to the expensive and complicated instrumentation limits the usefulness of the methods in routine clinical chemistry.

    Notes: An unusual morphine analog was extracted and separated from an opium-like sample. The high resolution mass spectrum of the unknown substance confirmed the empirical formula as C17H18O2NCl. Mass spectra and retention factor values in thin-layer chromatography of both unknown and authentic standards were compared, which lead to the identification of the unknown as β-chloromorphide.

    Notes: A quantitative method for loading nanogram samples onto field desorption emitter wires is described. Sample consumption is reduced and problems with emitter wettability are overcome by freezing microliter droplets onto the emitters. Using this technique, good spectral data are obtained from 10 to 50 ng of material. Field desorption sensitivity measurements are reported for neomycin B, adenosine and cholesterol. Evaluation of the nonquantitative dipping technique previously employed reveals poor and nonreproducible sample loading efficiency.

    Notes: Chemical ionization mass spectra of four explosive compounds have been obtained by using water as reagent gas. The compounds are 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane, 1,3,5-trinitor-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, and an explosive which has been used in letter bombs, containing the two latter compounds and a plasticizer. The chemical ionization H2O mass spectra were recorded at an ion source temperature range of 170 to 225°C, a probe temperature range of 160 to 265°C and a reagent gas (H2O) pressure range of 0.07 to 0.10 Torr. Unlike in chemical ionization using methane or isobutane, chemical ionization H2O spectrum of these compounds provides a method for obtaining quasimolecular peaks. Adduct ion peaks like [M + H3O]+, [M + H5O2]+, [M + NO]+ and [M + NO2]+ are also observed in the chemical ionization H2O mass spectra of these compounds. Chemical ionization H2O mass spectra provide thus a better means of explosive identification.

    Notes: Acetobacter suboxydans, strain 8.3, was grown using ethanol, made by the hydration of ethylene, as the sole energy source. After the microorganism had oxidized some of the ethanol to acetic acid, the unassimilated alcohol and produced acetic acid were isolated from the supernatant. Carbon isotopic analyses of these compounds and the starting ethanol show: (1) the methyl carbon of the starting alcohol is enriched in carbon-13 by 4.6% relative to the hydroxyl carbon, (2) the starting alcohol contains 2% less carbon-13 than the unassimilated ethanol and (3) the carboxyl carbon of the acetic acid excreted by the A. suboxydans is enriched by 3.8% in carbon-13 relative to the methyl carbon. These results support earlier findings which indicate that organisms preferentially utilize compounds enriched in carbon-12 and tend to concentrate carbon-12 in the reduced carbons relative to the oxidized carbons of metabolic products.

    Notes: The concentrations of carbon-13 in the individual carbon atoms of 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (acetoin) from apple cider vinegar decrease with decreasing oxidation level in the sequence .Because the distributions of isotopes within biological compounds are controlled by kinetic and equilibrium effects, intramolecular isotopic analyses may provide a means of defining the equilibria between metabolic pathways and of recognizing the molecular remnants of pre-existent organisms in geological samples.

    Notes: The minicomputer calculates and sets the required accelerating voltages by means of a 16 bit d.a.c. for maximum 8 masses within a 30% mass range. These, together with the t.i.c., are displayed in real time on a television screen and recorded on magnetic tape with a dynamic range of 1:32 000. Automatic fine adjustment of the mass focus and compensation for drifts in the magnetic field are some of the features in the mass fragmentographic package, which also allows data to be displayed, analysed, edited and plotted. Quantitative analyses can be handled entirely by the system if it is provided with the weight ratios of the compound to be determined and the standards to construct the standard curve. A table of the concentration per ml sample at the various times and/or a semi-log plot may be obtained by providing the amount of the standard added to the sample (e.g. blood), the extracted sample volume and the time at which the sample was drawn. Mass determinations of isolated or non-isolated compounds (nanogram amounts) can be performed within a few minutes with a precision usually better than 5 ppm employing a single focusing instrument at a resolution of 600-700. A maximum of seven unknown masses within a 30% range can be specified and determined simultaneously or in a preselected order. The shortest sweep time of the ion beam is 300 ms. The peak shapes can be analysed by displaying the data stored on magnetic tape on the television monitor.

    Notes: An analog multiple ion detection system has been developed for magnetic sector mass spectrometers based on accelerating voltage alternation in conjunction with the accurate maintenance of focusing by means of voltage sweeping, using a superimposed a.c. sine wave voltage. This multiple ion detector voltage sweep system is easily constructed, inexpensive and produces analytical data of much greater precision than that reported from conventional systems. The application of the multiple ion detector voltage sweep system to biomedical problems is illustrated by the development of a method for the determination of stable isotope enrichment in blood glucose and alanine in children infused with tetradeuterio-L-alanine and dideuterioglucose to study gluconeogenesis and glucose utilization in vivo.

    Notes: Addition of a macrocyclic ligand, such as a crown ether or cryptate, to the solution of an organic compound containing alkali metal ions prior to field desorption mass spectral analysis, has been shown to result in a reproducible, smooth field desorption process at low anode temperature. Crystalline dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether complexes of NaI and KI give field desorption spectra in which free and complexed ligands are of comparable intensity. Cryptate complexes retain the metal ion even more strongly, as illustrated by the fact that the complex of LiCl with [2.1.1]-cryptate yields almost exclusively the complexed lithium peak on field desorption. Alkali metal salts with organic anions also desorb more smoothly after complexation, although in the case of simple carboxylates the anion is found only in a cluster peak.

    Notes: Repetitive mass spectrometric scanning of gas-liquid chromatographic effuents at short (6 to 15 s) intervals, with a digital computer for data acquisition, reduction and display, allows plots (mass chromatograms) to be made of the intensities of specific ion fragments. Plotting of m/e values characteristic for certain classes of compounds and/or individual components reveals the location of constituents in the gas chromatogram. This technique was applied to the identification of trimethylsilyl derivatives of unsubstituted and 2-hydroxy fatty acid methyl esters in mixtures obtained from acid catalyzed methanolysis of cat brain galactocerebrosides. The plot of total ionization intensity vs scan number generated the gas-liquid chromatogram. Mass chromatograms of m/e 73 and [M - 59]+ gave the locations in the gas-liquid chromatogram of the hydroxy fatty acid derivatives, and mass chromatograms of m/e 74 and [M]+ located the unsubstituted fatty acid derivatives. Integrated ion intensities were used to determine the composition of the mixture of fatty acids.

    Notes: Mass spectrometry has been applied for a detailed structural characterization of glycosphingolipids. Methylated and methylated plus reduced glycolipids (amide groups of ceramide and amino sugars were reduced to the corresponding amines) were found the most useful derivatives. Molecular weight ions [M - 1] were not obtained for methylated lipids with more than four sugar units, but were easily obtained for reduced derivatives, so far with six sugars. Spectra of reduced derivatives showed very abundant ions containing the complete carbohydrate and the fatty acid, allowing a conclusion to be made concerning the carbohydrate composition (ratio of hexose and hexosamine and sialic acid). In addition, conclusive information was obtained for the carbohydrate sequence, including branching of the chain. By a combined use of both derivatives the long chain base and fatty acid composition was also evident. Spectra are discussed for a synthetic monoglycosylceramide, the Forssman glycolipid hapten (pentaglycosylceramide) and two gangliosides (a triglycosylceramide and a pentaglycosylceramide). The mass spectrum of the Forssman glycolipid provides the first conclusive evidence for two amino sugars in the terminal disaccharide of the molecule.

    Notes: Thirteen selected compounds were permethylated with potassium t-butoxide in dimethyl sulphoxide and methyl iodide, a simpler procedure than those using sodium hydride but equally effective. From mass spectrometric study of the products. it emerged that carboxylic esters of methanol and of o-diphenols were at least partially rearranged, whereas those of benzyl alcohol and of a monophenol, as well as fully acylated carbohydrate-like substances, were largely not. Some anamalies of C-methylation and N-methylation were encountered.

    Notes: The separation and structural determination of ten partially methylated methyl glucosides by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry are described. These glucosides were four possible structures for methyl tri-O-methylglucosides and six for methyl di-O-methylglucosides. The positions of free hydroxyl groups in four isomers of methyl tri-O-methylglucosides could be fairly distinguished from each other by their mass spectra. Mass spectra of methyl di-O-methylglucosides were similar to each other, though their spectra were different from those of fully methylated or methyl tri-O-methylglucosides. After introduction of a trimethylsilyl group to the free hydroxyl group, mass spectra of methyl di-O-methylglucosides showed a characteristic pattern for the position of the trimethylsilylated hydroxyl group, and O-trimethylsilyl ethers of methyl tri-O-methylglucosides also showed distinguishable mass spectra. The structures of fragment ions of partially methylated methyl glucosides were confirmed by high resolution mass spectrometry.

    Notes: The use of the integrated ion current technique for the analysis of biogenic amines and phenols as their 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulphonyl (dansyl) derivatives is described, particularly as regards to the linearity and sensitivity of detection. The mono derivatized amines gave a linear response over the range 10-9 to 10-14 mol, with a few being detected in quantities as small as 5 × 10-15 mol. The bisdansyl derivatives have a lower sensitivity and the response is linear over a more restricted range, terminating at 10-13 mol. Deuterated analogues of some of the amines were prepared and the feasibility of their use as internal standards was investigated. In this way, the problems associated with quantitative biochemical analyses caused by losses during extractions, chromatographic separations and thermal decomposition in the mass spectrometer lon source are overcome. The differentiation of isomers of biogenic amines as their dansyl derivatives has been accomplished by fractional sublimation and by examination of differences in their fragmentation patterns.

    Notes: The high resolution field desorption mass spectra of a number of glycosides are described. In all cases the spectra enabled molecular weights and elemental formulae to be established, and the presence of fragment ions due to cleavage of the sugar groups provides considerable assistance in the identification of sugar and aglycone moieties. The [M + 23Na]+ ion was the base peak in the spectrum of the sodium salt of testosterone glucuronide, and the presence [M + 39K]+, [M + 41K]+ and [M + 23Na]+ ions in the spectra of other glycosides are attributed to the presence of their sodium or potassium salts as impurities.

    Notes: Preliminary results are reported for the quantitative determination of the antiarrhythmic agents quinidine and lidocaine in human plasma by combined isobutane chemical ionization mass spectrometry and stable isotope labeling. The concentration of monoethylglycinexylidide, a known metabolite of lidocaine, was also determined using this method. In the procedure used, stable isotope analogs of the materials to be determined were added to serial plasma samples. The plasma was then made basic and extracted with benzene. The residue after evaporation of the solvent was placed directly into the mass spectrometer via the direct insertion probe and the spectrum determined. In this manner the above named compounds could readily be quantitated without recourse to either derivitization or further purification.

    Notes: Complete mass spectra of the pertimethylsilylated derivatives of three high molecular weight polyene macrolide antibiotics are reported for the first time. The fragmentation pathways which are proposed have been corroborated by the stable isotope derivatives d9-TMS and d3-acetyl. Accurate mass measurements and metastable transitions confirm the proposed fragmentation mechanisms in the low mass range. Nystatin - the macrolide of highest molecular weight in this study - expels several TMSOH molecules and a TMS radical. Amphotericin B underwent extensive rearrangements preliminary to eliminating a series of TMSOH molecules. An apparent equilibrium between the keto and ketal forms of amphotericin B facilitated the rearrangements. Pimaricin fragmented in a manner parallel to that of the other two macrolides. The sugar portion of the molecules dominated the fragmentation in the low mass region in the spectra of all compounds. The transfer of a TMS group from the sugar amine to the glycosidic oxygen was observed when the amino sugar was eliminated from the intact molecule. The resulting sugar ion then expelled ammonia.
