    Notes: Copolyamides of nylon 6,6 with bis(2-carboxyethyl)methylphosphine oxide (CEMPO) were prepared by melt polycondensation of nylon 6,6 salt with CEMPO and hexamethylene diamine. The effect of CEMPO upon melting point, moisture regain, boiling water shrinkage, water wicking, tensile properties, thermal stability, static dissipation, and flammability of nylon 6,6 fibers and fabrics was determined. The fiber properties were greatly affected by the high water absorption and solubility characteristics of the phosphine oxide linkage. However, crystallinity and orientation were not greatly disturbed by up to 30-40M% CEMPO substitution in nylon 6,6. The copolyamides were of improved flame resistance compared to nylon 6,6 and were also found to give improved flame resistance in blends of the copolymer with various commercial plastics. In addition, CEMPO and the corresponding diamine, bis(3-aminopropyl)methylphosphine oxide were used to prepare a series of cycloaliphatic and aromatic ring-containing polyamides, but problems were encountered with moisture sensitivity and low melting points with some of these polymers.

    Notes: The skeletal rearrangement for water loss is the dominant ion reaction in the chemical ionization mass spectrum of benzyl 2-phenylethyl ether. Isotopic distributions obtained for this reaction with specifically labelled derivatives have been interpreted in terms of competing five- and six-centred skeletal rearrangements. Chemical substitution of the alternative aromatic rings strongly influences the balance of the competition.

    Notes: Transferrin receptors are expressed on proliferating cells and are required for their growth. Transferrin receptors can be detected after, but not before, mitogenic stimulation of normal peripheral blood T and B cells. In the experiments reported here we have examined the regulation of transferrin receptor expression on activated human B cells and whether or not these receptors are necessary for activation to occur. Activation was assessed by studying both proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. We have determined that transferrin receptor expression on B cells is regulated by a factor contained in supernatants of mitogenstimulated T cells (probably B-cell growth factor). This expression is required for proliferation to occur, since antibody to transferrin receptor (42/6) blocks B-cell proliferation. Induction of immunoglobulin secretion, however, although dependent on PHA-treated T-cell supernatant, is not dependent on transferrin receptor expression and can occur in mitogen-stimulated cells whose proliferation has been blocked by antitransferrin receptor antibody. In addition, we have demonstrated that IgM messenger RNA induction following mitogen stimulation is unaffected by antitransferrin receptor antibody. These findings support a model for B-cell activation in which mitogen (or antigen) delivers two concurrent but distinct signals to B cells: one, dependent on B-cell growth factor and transferrin receptor expression, for proliferation, and a second, dependent on T cell-derived factors and not requiring transferrin receptors, which leads to immunoglobulin secretion.

    Notes: The morphology and fine structure of the basilar recess and basilar papilla were investigated in four species of salamanders from the family Ambystomatidae. The otic relationships of the recess and papilla to the proximal part of the lagena and saccule are described, and new terminology is suggested for the periotic relationships of the basilar recess to a diverticulum of an intracapsular periotic sac. The basilar papilla consists of supporting cells united laterally by gap junctions, capped by microvilli uniformly arranged around a short, central cilium, and hair cells that typically show several synapses with a single afferent nerve fiber, each marked by a rounded synaptic body surrounded by vesicles. In contrast to anuran basilar papillae, efferent nerve terminals were observed in synapse with hair cells and, rarely, upon afferent fibers. The distal half of the ambystomatid papilla contained hair cells capped by tall ciliary bundles, with kinocilia that show swellings near their tips with delicate attachments to adjacent tall stereocilia. A tectorial body covers only this region of the papilla. Hair cells with shorter stereocilia, situated in the proximal half and at the papillar margins, are related only to filamentous extensions of the tectorial body. The ambystomatid basilar recess and papilla are compared to auditory end-organs in other vertebrates, and it is suggested that a basic distinction can be made between aural neuroepithelia in amniotes versus that in nonamniotic vertebrate ears.

    Notes: The surface morphology of the basilar recess and papilla was examined in 14 species of newts and salamanders selected from the five families of urodeles (Ambystomatidae, Salamandridae, Hynobiidae, Cryptobranchidae, and Amphiumidae) known to have this end-organ. In this sampling, the general organization of basilar structures is essentially similar across species investigated. The recess forms a tubular diverticulum of the proximal part of the lagena. One wall of the recess is associated with a diverticulum of the intracapsular periotic sac, and an adjacent wall is occupied by the basilar papilla. The papilla contained from as few as five hair cells in specimens of Taricha torosa to over 200 hair cells in Cryptobranchus allegheniensis. In most species, the papilla showed a morphological continuum between tall centrally or distally placed ciliary bundles and short ciliary bundles near the papillar margins. In certain species examined, tall bundles had kinocilia with swellings near their tips. Most forms showed a tendency to have groups of ciliary bundles morphologically polarized either toward or away from the saccule. In Cryptobranchus and Dicamptodon, many bundles had a random orientation. The gross and fine structural features of the basilar complex are compared in urodeles and anurans, and “generalized” features for the amphibian basilar complex are suggested. The basilar complex of Cryptobranchus is interpreted as being most generalized, representing a structural form from which most features of the basilar complex in other urodeles and anurans can be derived.

    Notes: A thermoplastic polymer, Delrin 150 (polyoxymethylene homopolymer), with creep resistance ten times that of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene, is used as a material for total joint protheses. A study was made of the local and systemic host response to this polymer when implanted in three different mammalian species. 316 LC stainless steel was used as a control. The materials were implanted into muscle and bone as solid cylinders. A total of 446 samples were implanted into 74 animals. The duration of implantation ranged from 2 weeks to 2 years. A semiquantitative evaluation of local tissue reaction was performed. For each implant, 16 histological criteria were graded for severity of host tissue reaction. The liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and lungs from each animal were also studied for evidence of systemic toxicity. The polymer implants exhibited a mild tissue reaction with the same characteristics as the control. Local tumor formation, bone osteolysis, and surrounding muscle necrosis were not seen. No pathological changes compatible with systemic toxicity by Delrin 150 were observed in the study of the organs. Delrin 150 in solid form did not exhibit local or systemic toxicity and is therefore biocompatible by this study. Powder implantation studies should be performed to simulate tissue response to wear particles.

    Notes: Volume changes resulting from the addition of sorbitol to the environment of mouse L-929 cells were evaluated from cell diameter measurements. Over periods of 1 hour or less, this solute was effectively excluded from intracellular water. The reduction in cell volume was inversely related to sorbitol concentration up to levels of about 0.6 molal, above which no further significant reduction occurred. Reduced cell volumes were maintained for at least 1 hour without measurable volume regulation. The percentage of volume lost was independent of the initial cell volume and was quickly regained when physiological conditions were restored. However, cell volume was influenced strongly by cell density or by some variable related to it. L-cells store surface area when dehydrated, apparently by means of plasma membrane convolutions and microvilli, based on the rapid kinetics of reversible volume changes and on observations from scanning electron microscopy. These results are related to current views on the nature of intracellular organization.

    Notes: Isotopic labelling and chemical substitution support the proposition that the skeletal rearrangement for water loss from molecular protonated ions of t-butoxycyclohexane involves competition between three reaction pathways. The principal reaction pathway (83%) involves migration of the t-butyl group to the 2-(6-) position of the cyclohexyl ring with reciprocal hydrogen transfer. A second reaction pathway (12%) involves ring contraction followed by reciprocal exchange of the t-butyl group with the 2-(5-) hydrogen atom of the nascent cyclopentyl ring. The third reaction pathway (5%) involves rearrangement of a proton-bound complex to permit ipso attack by isobutene. Stereospecific substitutions indicate that the principal reaction pathway is susceptible to 1,3-diaxial interactions.

    Notes: Oxygen consumption was measured in mouse L-929 cells whose volumes and water contents were reduced by adding sorbitol to the medium. The volume of water lost due to a given sorbitol supplement exceeded the loss in apparent cell volume. An explanation is given for this discrepancy. The rate of oxygen uptake in the absence of exogenous respiratory substrate was essentially the same in cells whose total volume was reduced by 45%, amounting to a loss of about 70% of the total cell water, compared to controls at ‘physiological’ volume and water content. Cells under these same conditions responded to added substrates (pyruvate, glucose, and glutamine) and inhibitors (iodoacetate and 2-deoxyglucose) in nearly the same way as control cells. These observations are in accord with and add to previous work showing that very large fluctuations in cell volume and water content have only modest effects on the rates and directions of a variety of metabolic processes. The results are interpreted in terms of current views on the composition and organization of the aqueous compartments of eucaryotic cells.
