    Notes: Abstract Microhardness was measured in sampling sites in the tibial diaphysis of control rats that received less than 1 ppm fluoride in the drinking water, and experimental rats that received 30, 90 and 120 ppm fluoride in the drinking water for 17 days. The latter dose was toxic, as evidenced by a decreased final body weight in this group. By means of tetracycline labelling, it was possible to measure bone hardness in four zones of increasing bone age: I) 3 days, II) 8 days, III) 13 days and IV) 22 days. Zones I through III represented bone formed during fluoride treatment, and Zone IV bone formed before fluoride treatment. In the control group, microhardness increased from Zone I to II, probably because mineral concentration was relatively low in Zone I, and remained constant thereafter. In the 90 and 120 ppm fluoride-treated groups, maximum microhardness was not achieved until Zone III. This delay was probably due to the fact that fluoride in large doses inhibits the rate of mineralization. In the 30 ppm fluoride-treated group, there was no delay in achievement of maximum microhardness; microhardness values in Zones I and III were greater than those in control animals, and microhardness in Zone III was higher than that in Zone IV. These results show that: 1) bone microhardness is increased in bone formed during fluoride treatment in rats given 30 ppm fluoride in the drinking water, 2) toxic doses of fluoride delay, but do not prevent achievement of normal maximum microhardness, and 3) changes in microhardness are seen only in bone formed during fluoride treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une méthode d'estimation de la surface périostée de l'os en voie de minéralisation est mise au point et appliquée à des porcs recevant 2 mg de fluorure par Kg de poids et par jour pendant 10 mois. L'adjonction de fluor intervient significativement dans le cas d'une déficience en calcium et phosphore. La surface en voie de minéralisation est nettement réduite. Lorsque le calcium et phosphore sont normaux, l'addition de fluorure augmente nettement la surface en voie de minéralisation. Le microscope électronique à balayage permet de mettre en évidence au niveau de l'os une perte de l'orientation longitudinale des fibers et des surfaces poreuses irrégulières chez les animaux soumis au floor.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zur Bestimmung der verkalkenden Oberfläche des Periosts wurde eine Methode entwickelt und bei Schweinen angewandt, welche während etwa 10 Monaten 2 mg Fluorid per kg Körpergewicht und per Tag erhalten hatten. Dieses zusätzliche Fluorid hatte eine signifikante Wirkung bei Calcium- und Phosphormangel. Die verkalkende Oberfläuche ging stark zurück, während jedoch, wenn kein Calcium- und Phosphormangel bestand, das zusätzliche Fluorid die verkalkende Oberfläche vergrößerte. Beobachtungen mit dem Raster-Elektronenmikroskop am Knochen zeigten, daß die Längsorientierung der Fasern fehlte und daß Knochen von mit Fluorid gefütterten Tieren unregelmäßige, poröse Oberflächen aufwiesen.
    Notes: Abstract A method for estimating periosteal bone-mineralizing surface was developed and applied to swine fed 2 mg of fluoride/kg of body weight/day for about 10 months. Added fluoride interacted significantly with calcium and phosphorus deficiency. Mineralizing surface was greatly reduced, whereas when calcium and phosphorus were adequate, added fluoride greatly increased mineralizing surface. Scanning electron microscope observations of bone disclosed loss of longitudinal orientation of fibers and irregular porous surfaces in bone from fluoride-fed animals.

    Notes: Abstract Fluoride analyses were carried out on blood samples from fasting subjects and on iliac crest biopsies obtained at autopsy, using an ion-selective electrode. Correlation coefficients of 0.53 and 0.67 respectively were determined between plasma fluoride and age, and bone fluoride and age. The proportionate rates of increase of fluoride levels in plasma and bone with age and the similarity of the correlation coefficients suggest that the fasting plasma fluoride concentration is in equilibrium with bone fluoride.

    Notes: Abstract The combination of high-resolution autoradiography and biochemical methods has been used to ascertain the site of mannan synthesis in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae. High-resolution autoradiography has been performed under conditions when addedd-mannose-3H was incorporated exclusively into mannan. Application of “pulse-chase” labelling technique revealed that the radio-active mannose is fixed primarily in the cytoplasmic space from where it is transported into the cell wall. Additional experiments with separated membrane fractions from the same yeast strongly support the hypothesis that the plasmalemma is not directly involved in the biosynthesis of yeast mannan and that the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum are the sites where the polymerization of mannosyl units takes place.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscopy and autoradiography (H3-proline) were used to determine the cell(s) responsible for collagen synthesis and lamination in the mesoglea of the sea anemone, Aiptasia diaphana. Mesogleal collagen is synthesized by the epidermal epitheliomuscular cells which contain much rough endoplasmic reticulum, and secretory vesicles attached to microtubules which cross the basal plasmalemma and anchor in the basement membrane; these cells incorporate large amounts of H3-proline. The mesogleal collagen fibers are non-striated, have clear centers, and a diameter of 200–260 Å; their walls are composed of 65 Å diameter subunit fibrils which appear to be helically oriented. Epitheliomuscular cells rest upon a subepidermal basement membrane which is composed of mesogleal collagen fibers, 65 Å subunit fibrils, and dense granules. This subepidermal basement membrane labels definitively with H3-proline, and is the region where soluble collagen precursors apparently form subunit fibrils which associate to yield mesogleal fibers. The columnar mesogleal collagen fibers are arranged to form layers: the fibers of each layer have the same longitudinal orientation, while those of adjacent layers display an approximate orthogonal arrangement. It is felt that the subepidermal basement membrane is responsible for this organization of mesogleal fibers. Mesogleal amoebocytes do not label with H3-proline and show no ultrastructural evidence of collagen secretion.

    Notes: Summary The effects of a chronic ACTH administration (up to 12 consecutive days) on the 3H-thymidine uptake by the mitochondrial compartment of rat adrenal zona fasciculata were investigated by high resolution autoradiography, and compared with the changes in volume and number per cell of these organelles induced by the hormonal treatment. Up to the 9th day of treatment there is a significant increase in the tracer incorporation into adrenocortical mitochondria which is coupled with a significant increase in the volume of the organelles. After 12 days of hormone administration a significant decrease in the 3H-thymidine mitochondrial uptake is found, which is associated with a conspicuous increase in the number of mitochondria per cell and a net decrease in their average volume. The data are discussed in the light of evidence indicating that mitochondria possess a genetic apparatus largely independent of nuclear control. It is hypothesized that ACTH controls the growth and proliferation of adrenocortical mitochondria and that the mechanism of this action of ACTH involves stimulation of the mitochondrial DNA synthesis.

    Notes: Summary Histological observation on the mesenteric lymph node and Peyer's patches of C3H B mice, neonatally thymectomized, lethally irradiated and reconstituted with syngeneic bone marrow cells, showed that a large number of lymphocytes appeared selectively in the restricted territory surrounding the post-capillary venules. Severe depletion of lymphocytes persisted in most of the thymus-dependent areas. Lymphocytes were also observed passing through the walls of the post-capillary venules. Autoradiographic studies on the mesenteric lymph node of recipient B mice 30 minutes after intravenous injection of cells labelled with 3H-uridine and taken from lymph nodes of donor B mice showed that B lymphocytes could penetrate the walls of the post-capillary venules from the blood into the peripheral lymphoid tissues. The post-capillary venules, which are known as the recirculating route of T lymphocytes in normal animals, are thought to be the pathway of migrating B lymphocytes in B mice.

    Notes: Summary The incorporation of 35S-labelled cysteine in the hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal system was studied in normal and adrenalectomized rats and in rats treated with excess hydrocortisone. Labelled cysteine was intraperitoneally administered and grain counts were made of autoradiographs produced from sections of the supraoptic and paraventricular nucleus, median eminence and neurohypophysis of animals killed 45 min., 4 hours and 24 hours after administration of the labelled substance. On the whole, lower incorporation levels of the label were noted in the adrenalectomized rats, compared with the controls. In the rats treated with excess hydrocortisone, the grain counts at 45 min and 4 hours after injection were higher and those at 24 hours were lower than those of the controls. The findings are discussed, among other things, in terms of rate of uptake vs. time and related to previous reports on the cysteine uptake and neurosecretory activity of the hypothalamic-neurosecretory sytem.

    Notes: Summary Pulse labelling with tritiated thymidine was used to determine the time of the final division of the neuroblasts which subsequently form rat lumbar dorsal root ganglion neurones. The final division occurred during a 4 day period, the maximum frequency being on day 12 of gestation. Separation of the ganglion cells into large light neurones and small dark neurones showed that the large light neurones were formed earlier than the small dark neurones. In both cases the final divisions occurred over a period of 3–4 days, but the peak rate of formation of large neurones was on day 12, and that of the small neurones was on day 13. Low power electron micrographs were used to measure mean cell diameter throughout development from day 11 of gestation until a postnatal age of 225 days. A marked increase in cell diameter occurred on day 15–15.5, about 3 days after the final cell divisions of the majority of the cells. The rate of growth increased just before birth, but no increase in mean cell diameter was found between day 21 of gestation and the third day postnatal. The growth was again rapid after this period until a plateau in cell diameter was reached about 33 days after birth.

    Notes: Summary In order to investigate haematopoiesis in the freshwater pulmonate Lymnaea stagnalis, the blood cells and the connective tissue of this snail were studied by light and electron microscopy as well as by autoradiography. In the circulating blood only one type of cell, the amoebocyte, is present. Amoebocytes also occur in the connective tissue (tissue amoebocytes) as single cells, in small groups or in large accumulations. Study of the morphology and ultrastructure of blood and tissue amoebocytes shows that no differences exist between these cells, indicating that L. stagnalis does not possess a well-defined haematopoietic organ. This assumption is supported by the following observations: 1. both blood and tissue amoebocytes can act as phagocytes, 2. blood and tissue amoebocytes both have the capacity to divide (i.e. incorporate tritiated thymidine) and 3. the percentage of dividing cells in the blood and in the connective tissue is the same. These quantitative data indicate furthermore that there is no difference in the relative importance of the blood and the connective tissue in the process of haematopoiesis. Comparison of tritiated thymidine labelled cells with unlabelled amoebocytes showed that these cells do not differ with respect to their morphology and ultrastructure. Moreover, amoebocytes involved in phagocytosis and encapsulation of foreign materials or in wound healing still have the capacity to divide. The percentages of tritiated thymidine labelled amoebocytes in different snails varied considerably. It is suggested that this variation reflects differences in the physiological state of the individual snails.

    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 route by which secretory proteins are transported in the frog exocrine pancreas cell was investigated by an ultrastructural and electron microscope autoradiographic analysis of in vivo 3H-leucine labelled tissue. The ultrastructure of the cell is characteristic of serous epithelial cells and resembles that of mammalian exocrine pancreas cells very closely. Autoradiographic results revealed that the proteins, after being synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), are transported through the Golgi cisternae to condensing vacuoles which subsequently change into secretory granules. The determination of the timing of this transport was complicated by a very slow turnover of leucine in the frog. Nevertheless, by a semi-quantitative approach, some time characteristics could be estimated: about 11 min after the onset of their synthesis the proteins enter the Golgi system, and about 25 min later the condensing vacuoles. Secretory granules become labelled between 60 and 120 min. These results are discussed, also in relation to the transport route and kinetics in mammalian tissue.

    Notes: Summary Retinal projections were studied in the tree shrew, Tupaia glis, by means of thaw-mount autoradiography. In this technique, unfixed and unembedded frozen sections are directly mounted on photographic emulsion coated slides. Loss of radiolabeled material through tissue processing is avoided, probably resulting in increased discriminatory sensitivity. Together with multiple injections of precursor cocktail it is possible to demonstrate at the light microscopic level (1) fibers in passage and axon terminals simultaneously, and (2) preferentially labeled axon terminals in the projection field as areas of greater grain density.

    Notes: Summary The uptake of 3H-GABA in the visual system of half-head preparations of Musca and Drosophila was studied by means of light and electron microscope autoradiography. Of all three ganglia, only the first synaptic region, the lamina ganglionaris, showed accumulation of radioactive grains, and there a preferential glial uptake could be found. Under normal light conditions at incubation (constant light flux of 100 Lux) the maximum of radio-activity was found in the marginal glia cells. Increasing the time of incubation produced also an increase in the number of grains per surface unit in the marginal glia cells. After changing the light intensity during incubation, quantitative modifications of the distribution of radio-activity were observed: incubating with stroboscopic illumination, the number of grains diminished in the marginal glia cells and remained constant in the epithelial cells; incubated in darkness, the epithelial cells became more intensely labelled whilst the number of grains decreased in the marginal cells. The possibility is discussed that the receptor axons 1–6 are the neurological elements of the lamina which use GABA as a transmitter. This hypothesis is lent some support from results of similar experiments with neurological mutants of Drosophila. In opm 18 there was a delayed uptake of 3H-GABA whereas in opm 3 and ebony the results were comparable to those found in Musca incubated in darkness. Behavioral studies on these mutants have demonstrated a defect, most probably related to the receptor system 1–6.

    Notes: Summary Mouse lingual epithelium incorporates significant amounts of L-proline-2, 3-H3 one hour after intraperitoneal injection of the tritiated amino acid. All viable cell strata incorporated approximately equal amounts of proline as assessed by autoradiographic techniques. Grain counts at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours, the four time periods studied, indicated a progressive incorporation of proline up to 4 hours following injection. Preferential incorporation of proline into any one cell structure or group of structures was not observed. Keratohyalin granules (KHG's) demonstrated incorporated proline; however, usually only one silver grain appeared over each granule, and, based on grain counts, the amount of proline incorporated by KHG's appeared slightly less than the general labeling observed in KHG-containing cells. This finding supports recent biochemical studies which have indicated a considerably lower proline content of keratohyalin than had previously been reported. Significant proline incorporation into the epithelial basal lamina was not observed during the 24 hours of this study. Thus, while recent recombination experiments have conclusively demonstrated that epithelial basal cells synthesize considerable quantities of basal lamina in a 24 hour period; it would appear that epithelial basal cells contribute little to a formed, intact basal lamina. This finding lends credence to the concept of a long basal lamina turnover time.

    Notes: Summary The encapsulation of experimentally introduced material was studied in Lymnaea stagnalis. Abiotic (yvelon sponge) and biotic materials (autografts, allografts and xenografts) were implanted into the cephalopedal blood sinus. Within 24 hrs the yvelon sponge is completely invaded and encapsulated by round amoebocytes. Amoebocytes are the only type of blood cell in L. stagnalis. The number of capsule amoebocytes increases until 3 days after implantation. These capsule amoebocytes are normal blood amoebocytes. This inclusion is based on morphological observations as well as on the results of labelling experiments (blood amoebocytes were labelled with India ink or 3H-thymidine). These data are in accordance with evidence that amoebocytes may have more than one function. From 24 hrs onwards a progressive flattening of the capsule amoebocytes was observed. In 7-day-old capsules 3 strata were distinguished: inner and outer strata consisting of tightly packed, flattened amoebocytes, and a middle stratum still composed of round amoebocytes. The cells of the outer stratum possess an extensive granular endoplasmic reticulum. During the further process of encapsulation the cells of the inner stratum become loaded with lysosomes. The middle stratum disappears: the cells flatten and become part of the other two strata. In the outer stratum, collagenous connective tissue fibrils and ground substance are deposited between the cells. This situation is reached about 1 month after implantation. Capsule formation is completed by that time: during the next 5 months, no major structural changes occur in the capsules. The reactions to biotic materials appeared to be quite different, and show that L. stagnalis is able to discriminate between different types of graft. Autografts and allografts are not encapsulated—only a transient amoebocyte reaction occurs at the cut surfaces of the transplants—whereas xenografts evoke a severe host reaction: they are infiltrated and encapsulated by amoebocytes. It is suggested that the discrimination mechanism is located in the plasma membrane of the amoebocytes. The encapsulation of xenografts ends in a capsule consisting only of the collagenous connective tissue stratum. The cells of the inner stratum infiltrate the graft and phagocytose degenerated graft tissue. Autoradiographic experiments using 3H-proline as a marker for collagen synthesis showed that the flattened cells of the outer stratum produce collagenous connective tissue fibrils, indicating that these cells are fibroblasts. In experiments using ink or 3H-thymidine labelled amoebocytes it was shown that these fibroblasts are transformed amoebocytes. Finally it is suggested that amoebocytes also have the capacity to transform into myofibroblasts.

    Notes: Summary This investigation has dealt with a light and electron microscopic autoradiographic analysis of the median eminence of the rat following intraventricular infusion of 3H-dopamine. This study has demonstrated that 3H-dopamine, once infused into the mammalian cerebral ventricular system, is rapidly and selectively absorbed by tanycytes and transported to the contact zone within 5 minutes after ventricular infusion. Certain axon terminals in the ependymal, hypendymal, and palisade-contact zones selectively sequester 3H-dopamine as do subpopulations of arcuate neurons. This picture of intense labelling of neurons and axon terminals is discussed with respect to monoaminergic re-uptake mechanisms. Uptake and transport of 3H-DA by tanycytes is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des rats femelles reçoivent du45Ca ou du32P au 13ème et 18ème jour de la grossesse. Les coupes sériées des têtes de foetus sont étudiées par autoradiographie et par diverses méthodes histologiques pour déterminer la calcification. La détection la plus précoce de45Ca s'observe simultanément comme une réaction positive pour le calcium avec une des méthodes histologiques utilisées.32P est en évidence par les méthodes autoradiographiques un peu plus tard que le45Ca et sa présence coincide avec la réaction positive la plus précoce observée avec les autres méthodes histologiques utilisées. Les os de ces têtes foetales commencent à se calcifier selon un mode particulier commençant par la mandibule, puis l'os frontal et le maxillaire supérieur, suivis par les os nasaux, pariétaux et interpariétaux.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Weibliche Ratten erhielten45Ca und32P zwischen dem 13.–18. Tag der Schwangerschaft. Zur Ermittlung der Verkalkung wurden Serienschnitte der Köpfe ihrer Feten mittels Autoradiographie sowie durch verschiedene histologische Methoden untersucht. Das erste Auftreten von45Ca war ebenfalls von einer positiven Calciumreaktion mittels einer der verwendeten histologischen Methoden begleitet.32P wurde in der Autoradiographie erst etwas später als45Ca festgestellt und dessen Nachweis deckte sich mit den ersten positiven Reaktonen aller anderen verwendeten histologischen Methoden. Die Knochen in diesen Fetusköpfen begannen in einer bestimmten Sequenz zu verkalken: zuerst der Unterkiefer, dann das Stirnbein und der Oberkiefer, dann das Nasenbein, die Parietal- und Interparietalknochen.
    Notes: Abstract Female rats were given45Ca or32P from 13 to 18 days of pegnancy. Serial sections from the heads of their fetuses were studied by autoradiography, as well as by several histological methods for assessing calcification. The earliest detection of45calcium occured at the same time as a positive reaction for calcium with one of the histological methods used.32P was not detectable by autoradiographic methods until somewhat later than45Ca, and its presence coincided with the earliest positive reaction with all of the other histological methods employed. The bones in these fetal heads began to calcify in a partcular sequence, the mandible first, then the frontal bone and maxilla, followed by the nasal, parietal and interparietal bones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'effet du fluor, de la parathormone et de la calcitonine sur le métabolisme du calcium osseux a été étudié en culture de tissu en utilisant des demi-calottes crâniennes de souris âgées de cinq jours. Les concentrations de fluor dans les cendres des calottes crâniennes de 0,007% (groupe peu fluoré), 0,041% (groupe moyennement fluoré) et 0,107% (groupe hautement fluoré) ont été obtenues en variant l'ingestion maternelle et post-natale en fluor. Le fluor inhibe la perte de calcium des os cultivés dans le milieu témoin et celui contenant la parathormone et favorise l'enrichissement en laccium des os cultivés dans un milieu contenant de la calcitonine. De l'os mort des groupes fortement et moyennement fluorés s'enrichit plus en calcium à partir du milieu de culture que les os du groupe pauvre en fluor. Le fluor semble agir sur le métabolisme du calcium osseux essentiellement par diminution de la solubilité minérale.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß von Fluorid, Parathormon und Calcitonin auf den Calciumstoffwechsel im Knochen wurde in einem Knochenkultur-System untersucht, wobei Halbcalvarien von 5 Tage alten Mäusen verwendet wurden. Fluoridgehalte in der Asche der Halbcalvarien von 0,007% (Gruppe mit niedrigem Fluoridgehalt), 0,041% (Gruppe mit mittlerem Fluoridgehalt) und 0,1075 (Gruppe mit hohem Fluoridgehalt) wurden erhalten, indem die Fluorideinnahme der Mütter oder der Neugeborenen verändert wurde. Fluorid hemmte den Calciumverlust aus Knochen, welche im Kontrollmedium oder in Parathormon-enthaltenden Medien kultiviert worden waren, und es förderte die Calciumaufnahme von Knochen, welche in Calcitoninenthaltendem Medium kultiviert worden waren. Die toten Knochen der Gruppen mit mittlerem und hohem Fluoridgehalt nehmen mehr Calcium aus dem Kulturmedium auf als die Knochen der Gruppe mit niederem Fluorid. Fluorid scheint vor allem durch eine Herabsetzung der Mineral-Löslichkeit auf den Calciumstoffwechsel der Knochen zu wirken.
    Notes: Abstract The influence of fluoride, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin on bone calcium metabolism was investigated in a bone culture system using half-calvaria of five-day old mice. Fluoride levels in the ash of half-calvaria of 0.007% (low fluoride group), 0.041% (moderate fluoride group), and 0.107% (high fluoride group) were achieved by varying the maternal and neonatal intake of fluoride. Fluoride inhibited the loss of calcium from bones cultured in control medium and parathyroid hormone-containing media, and promoted the uptake of calcium by bones cultured in medium containing calcitonin. Dead bones of the moderate and high fluoride groups took up more calcium from the culture medium than bones of the low fluoride group. Fluoride appears to exert its effect on bone calcium metabolism predominantly via a reduction in mineral solubility.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets du fluor, de la parathormone et de la calcitonine sur la production acide et les phosphatases osseuses ont été étudiés sur des moitiés de calottes craniennes de souris de 5 jours, dans un système stationaire de culture. Le fluor est incorporé dans les os avant culture, par administration aux mères et aux petits. La parathormone (0.5 U/ml) stimule la production d'acides citrique et lactique, alors que la calcitonine (4.0 mU/ml) n'agit pas sur la production acide, par rapport aux cultures témoins. Des calottes craniennes, à contenu en fluor élevé et faible, produisent des quantités similaires d'acides et répontent de façon identique à l'hormone parathyroidienne. L'activité en phosphatase alcaline de moitiés de calottes craniennes fraichement disséquées n'est pas modifiée par leur contenu en fluor, mais l'activité en phosphatase acide est de 72% plus élevée dans les os à contenu en fluor élevé que dans ceux à contenu faible. L'hormone parathyroidienne stimule plus la phosphatase acide dans les os faiblement fluorés. La calcitonine stimule les activités en phosphatases acide et alcaline, avec une augmentation plus grande de l'activité en phosphatase acide que celle en phosphatase alcaline. Le fluor ne semble pas modifier l'action de la calcitonine sur l'activité phosphatasique. Etant donné que le fluor n'inhibe pas la production acide ou l'activité en phosphatase acide, l'inhibition de la résorption osseuse par le fluor s'explique le mieux par son action sur la solubilité minérale osseuse.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkungen von Fluorid, Parathormon und Calcitonin auf die Säurebildung und Knochenphosphatasen wurden untersucht, indem Halbcalvarien von 5 Tage alten Mäusen in einem gleichbleibenden Kultursystem verwendet wurden. Fluorid wurde schon vor der Kultur in die Knochen eingebaut, indem es den Müttern und Neugeborenen verabreicht wurde. Parathormon (0,5 E/ml) regte die Bildung von Milch- und Zitronensäure an, während Calcitonin (4,0 mE/ml) die Säureproduktion, mit Kontrollkulturen verglichen, nicht beeinflußte. Halbcalvarien mit hohem und mit niederem Fluoridgehalt bildeten etwa die gleichen Mengen beider Säuren und regierten ähnlich auf Parathormon. Die Aktivität der alkalischen Phosphatase von frisch sezierten Halbcalvarien wurde von deren Fluoridgeha It nicht beeinflußt, diejenige der sauren Phosphatase hingegen war 72% höher in Knochen mit hohem Fluoridgehalt als in solchen mit niederem Fluoridgehalt. Das Parathormon stimulierte die saure Phosphatase in vermehrtem Maße in Knochen mit niederem Fluoridgehalt als in solchen mit hohem Fluoridgehalt. Das Calcitonin stimulierte die Aktivität der alkalischen sowie der sauren Phosphatase, wobei die saure Phosphatase stärker angeregt wurde. Fluorid schien den Einfluß von Calcitonin auf die Aktivität der Phosphatase nicht zu verändern. Da Fluorid weder die Säurebildung noch die Aktivität der sauren Phosphatase hemmte, kann die Hemmung der Knochenresorption durch Fluorid am besten durch dessen Wirkung auf die Löslichkeit des Knochenminerals erklärt werden.
    Notes: Abstract The effects of fluoride, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin on acid production and bone phosphatases were investigated using half-calvaria of 5-day-old mice in a stationary culture system. Fluoride was incorporated into the bones before culture by administering fluoride to the mothers and pups. Parathyroid hormone (0.2 U/ml) stimulated the production of both lactic and citric acids, while calcitonin (4.0 mU/ml) did not influence acid production, relative to control cultures. Half-calvaria with high and low fluoride contents produced similar quantities of both acids, and responded similarly to parathyroid hormone. The alkaline phosphatase activity of freshly-dissected half-calvaria was not influenced by their fluoride content, but acid phosphatase activity was 72% higher in bones with high fluoride contents than in bones with low fluoride contents. Parathyroid hormone stimulated acid phosphatase to a greater extent in low fluoride bones than in high fluoride bones. Calcitonin stimulated both alkaline and acid phosphatase activities, with a greater increase in acid phosphatase activity than in alkaline phosphatase activity. Fluoride did not appear to modify the influence of calcitonin on phosphatase activity. Since fluoride did not inhibit acid production or acid phosphatase activity, the inhibition of bone resorption by fluoride can best be explained by its effect on bone mineral solubility.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les énergies de déplacement des ions F−, OH− et O2− dans la maille réticulaire des apatites ont été calculées en utilisant un modèle cristallin de Born. Une attention particulière a été apportée au déplacement parallèle de l'axe c par un mécanisme de lacune. Contrairement à la plupart des cristaux ioniques, la barrière opposée au déplacement est électrostatique plutôt que répulsive. L'énergie de déplacement d'un cristal donné est la plus faible pour F−, intermédiaire pour O2−, et la plus élevée pour OH−.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Bewegungsenergien von F−, OH− und O2−-Ionen im Apatitgitter wurden berechnet, indem ein Born-Modell des Kristalles verwendent wurde. Die Untersuchung wurde auf die Migration beschränkt, welche durch einen Vakanzmechanismus parallel zur C-Achse verläuft. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Ionenkristallen hat die Migrationsbegrenzung eher einen elektrostatischen als einen abstoßenden Charakter. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Migrationsenergie in einem Kristall am kleinsten für F−, dazwischen liegend für O2− und am größten für OH− ist.
    Notes: Abstract The energies of motion of F−, OH− and O2− ions in the apatite lattice have been calculated using a Born model of the crystal. Attention was confined to migration parallel to the c-axis by a vacancy mechanism. In contrast to most ionic crystals the barrier to migration is electrostatic rather than repulsive in character. It is found that the migration energy in a given crystal is least for F−, intermediate for O2− and largest for OH−.

    Notes: Summary The influence of long daily photoperiods and of continuous darkness on the secretory activity of the subcommissural organ (SCO) and on the growth rate of Reissner's fibre (RF) in Rana esculenta was studied in winter. The amount of aldehyde-fuchsin (AF) positive material in the apical cell parts of the SCO is smaller in light-adapted than in darkness-adapted animals. Differences in incorporation rate of 35S-cysteine between the SCO of light-adapted and of darkness-adapted animals, however, are small. The conclusion must be that light/darkness conditions only slightly influence the secretory activity of the SCO cells of Rana esculenta. In agreement with this conclusion is the observation that RF grew only slightly faster in the light-adapted than in the darkness-adapted animals. Under the conditions used RF was completely renewed in about 3 to 4 days. Influences of temperature on the activity of the SCO have been observed.

    Notes: Summary The optic tracts and centres of optic terminals of Rana temporaria have been investigated with silver impregnation techniques after unilaterally cutting the optic nerve and autoradiographically after injection of a mixture of tritiated amino acids into the vitreous body of the left eye. The observations on the course of the optic tracts and on the optic terminals in the thalamus and optic tectum are to a great extent in agreement with those of other authors. The probability of a retino-preoptic pathway is supported by the detection of fibres running in dorsal direction in front of the place where the optic nerve penetrates the brain. In horizontal sections these fibres can be seen deviating from the optic tract, covering a short distance in frontal direction and then turning upward under an angle of about 90 degrees. They disappear between the ventral aldehyde-fuchsin positive cells of the preoptic nucleus. The ventral and median parts of the ipsilateral preoptic nucleus contain fragments of degenerated fibres. Autoradiographic data are also in favour of the presence of an ipsilateral retino-preoptic tract. After carefully counting the number of grains over left and right preoptic nucleus, it appeared that over the ventral and median parts of the left preoptic nucleus more grains occur than over the identical areas of the right one.

    Notes: Summary The influence of a long daily photoperiod and continuous darkness on the hypothalamo-hypophysial system of blinded frogs was studied. In the preoptic nucleus no difference could be observed between the two groups of blinded frogs neither in the amount of incorporated 35S-cysteine nor in the amount of aldehydefuchsin positive material nor in the nuclear volume of the secretory cells. These results were compared with those of an experiment with intact frogs kept simultaneously under the same environmental conditions. It appeared that the activity of the dark-treated blinded group was enhanced compared with the activity of the dark-treated intact group while the light-treated blinded frogs showed a decrease in activity compared with the similarly treated intact animals. Likewise the influence of a long daily photoperiod on the hypothalamo-hypophysial system of unilaterally blinded frogs was studied. The activity of the preoptic nucleus was lower on the side where the optic nerve had been cut than on the intact side. In the dorsal part of the preoptic nucleus a difference between the two sides could not be observed. The significance of these results is discussed with regards to a possible connection between retina and preoptic nucleus.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Während der sexuellen Entwicklung vonPlatynereis dumerilii steigt die Zahl der Neurone, die Merkmale einer sekretorischen Aktivität aufweisen, parallel zum Wachstum und zur Reifung der Keimzelle an. Die cytologische Differenzierung eines Neurons zur neurosekretorischen Zelle ist mit einer Steigerung der Synthese Cystin-haltigen Materials gegenüber konventionellen Neuronen gekoppelt. Neurosekretorische Zellen treten erstmals in Erscheinung, kurz bevor die Oocyten in die zweite Oogeniephase eintreten, während der die Vitellogenese abläuft. Aufgetragen gegen den Oocytendurchmesser ergibt die Zahl der Neurone, die sekretorisch aktiv werden und3H-Cystin inkorporieren, eine ansteigende Kurve. Die Kurve biegt auf ein Plateau, wenn die Oocyten eine kritische Größe erreichen. Diese Größe markiert jenes Entwicklungsstadium, von dem ab eine Enthirnung eine normale Reifung nicht mehr verhindert. Die Zahl synthetisch tätiger Neurone steight erneut an, wenn die Oocyten die kortikale Struktur des reifen Eies entwickeln. Das Maximum wird kurz vor der Metamorphose erreicht. Während der epitoken Umwandlung sinkt die synthetische Aktivität rasch ab, um im schwärmbereiten Tier gänzlich zum Stillstand zu kommen. In Tieren, die nach der kritischen Phase zur caudalen Regeneration veranlaßt werden, fällt die Zahl markierter neurosekretorischer Zellen auf ein Niveau ab, das für junge, „vorkritische“ Individuen charakteristisch ist. Entsprechend wird in jungen, vorkritischen Tieren, die erst wenige endokrine Neurone besitzen, die Differenzierung weiterer neurosekretorischer Zellen durch eine Regeneration nicht stimuliert. Der zeitliche Verlauf der synthetischen Aktivität im Zuge der Entwicklung und die durch eine Regeneration erzwungenen Veränderungen sind somit reziprok zur Aktivität des Gehirns in Bezug auf die Ausschüttung des Juvenilhormons. Die Hypothese wird zur Diskussion gestellt, die sinkende Produktion des Juvenilhormons werde von der steigenden Produktion eines antagonistischen neuroendokrinen Prinzips begleitet oder verursacht.
    Notes: Summary During sexual development ofPlatynereis dumerilii, the number of neurones exhibiting secretory activity rises in parallel with the growth and maturation of the germ cells. The cytological differentiation of neuroglandular properties is accompanied with an increased uptake of tritiated cystine. The first neurones developing the characteristics of secretory cells and incorporating cystine appear just before the oocytes enter the second growth phase which corresponds with vitellogenesis. When plotted against the oocyte diameter the number of labelled neurosecretory cells yields an ascending line, which becomes a plateau once the oocytes approach a critical size. This critical size defines the developmental stage beyond which decerebration does not prevent normal maturation. The neuronal synthetic activity rises again when the oocytes differentiate the cortical structure of ripe eggs. The curve displays its maximum slope at the onset of metamorphosis. During the epitokous transformation the synthetic activity decreases rapidly and is almost totally depressed when swarming is imminent. In animals induced to regenerate their posterior segments after they have passed the critical stage, the number of labelled neurosecretory cells becomes reduced to the precritical level. According to this, regeneration in young precritical animals containing only few endocrine neurones does not stimulate the development of further secretory neurones. Thus, the time course during maturation and the changes caused by regeneration are reciprocal to the activity of the brain with respect to the release of juvenile hormone. The question is thus raised as to whether the declining titer of juvenile hormone may be accompanied or caused by an increased production of an antagonistic principle related to maturation.

    Notes: Summary InRana esculenta the activity of the hypothalamo-hypophysial system has been investigated in intact and blinded animals, after removal of the frontal organ and after elimination of the whole pineal complex. The results on intact and blinded animals are practically the same as those found earlier inRana temporaria. Light increases the activity of the preoptic nucleus, blinding changes the difference between light- and darkness-treated intact animals. Compared with the intact animals the other two groups (without frontal organ and without pineal complex) show a marked increase in incorporation of35S-cysteine in the preoptic nucleus. A difference between the animals without frontal organ and those without pineal complex, however, can hardly be observed. It follows that the absence of the frontal organ has the same influence on the preoptic nucleus as elimination of the whole pineal complex. In intact animals the influence of the frontal organ on the preoptic nucleus consists of an inhibition of neurosecretory activity as well under light as under darkness conditions. The enhanced synthesis of labelled material in the preoptic nucleus after removal of the frontal organ, results in a transport along the hypothalamo-hypophysial tract mainly to the outer zone of the median eminence and not to the posterior lobe.

    Notes: Summary From the 5th day up to the end of 3rd week following local crushing of the frog ventricle myocardium, ca. 13% of myocyte nuclei, in the vicinity of the damaged zone, were labelled after a single 3H-thymidine (3HTdr) injection, and 30–50% of these were labelled after repeated 3HTdr administration. The number of myocyte mitoses was maximal (ca. 1.3%) at the beginning of the 3rd week. The reactive proliferation of myocytes was accompanied by their “partial dedifferentiation”. This involved the nuclear euchromatic rearrangement, increase in size of nuclei and nucleoli, accumulation of the sarcoplasm rich in free ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum, hyperplasia of the Golgi apparatus, and the appearance of 80–100 Å in diameter cytofilaments. Electron microscope autoradiography has shown that all these changes may be more or less pronounced in myocytes incorporating 3HTdr. The myofibril ultrastructure was found to be unchanged during S phase. However, in the mitotically dividing myocytes, the majority of Z-disks were disintegrated resulting in progressive release of myofilament bundles. Both 3HTdr labelled and mitotic myocytes were anchored to the adjacent ones by desmosomes and intercalated disks. No free myoblasts were observed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Oogenese der Bienenkönigin (Apis mellifica) kann in 6 Stadien eingeteilt werden. Proteinsynthese und Dottereinlagerung in der Oocyte werden autoradiographisch und mittels Trypanblau-Vitalfärbung untersucht. Euplasmatische Proteinsynthesen finden in allen Eifollikeln bis zum frühen Stadium 5 statt. Vitellogenese-aktiv sind nur die Oogenese-Stadien 3 und 4. Die pinocytäre Einschleusung dotterpflichtiger Haemolymphproteine ins Ooplasma nimmt etwa 20 min in Anspruch. 10 min später sind kleinste neugebildete Dotterkugeln in der äußersten Oocytenperipherie zu erkennen. Aus ihnen werden binnen 1 $${\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em\lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}$$ —2 h große Dotterschollen von ca. 20 μm φ. Die Vitellogenese-Phase eines einzelnen Follikels dauert insgesamt 3 Tage. Dotterschollen werden nur im Bereich des freien Follikelepithels gebildet. Sie wandern einzeln ins zentrale Ooplasma ein, wo unterschiedlich alte Schollen durchmischt abgelagert werden. Dotterfrei bleibt ein Euplasmahof, der den Vorderpol des Eies markiert. Im Ooplasma und in den Nährzellen erfolgt sicher keine Synthese von Dottermaterial. Ein Beitrag der Follikelepithelzellen zur Dotterbildung kann nicht vollständig ausgeschlossen werden. Das zeitliche und räumliche Muster der Dottereinlagerung wird diskutiert unter Berücksichtigung der Determination der Oocyten-Achsen und der Präformation von ooplasmatischen Kontrollzentren für die frühe Embryogenese.
    Notes: Summary Oogenesis in the honeybee queen (Apis mellifica) can be divided into 6 developmental stages. By autoradiography and vital staining with trypan blue protein synthesis and yolk incorporation into the oocyte were studied. Euplasmic protein synthesis occurs in all egg follicles up to the early stage 5. Only the stages 3 and 4 are active in vitellogenesis. The resorption of vitellogenic haemolymph proteins by pinocytosis needs about 20 min. 10 min later very small newly formed yolk globules can be recognized in the outermost periphery of the oocyte. After 1 $${\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em\lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 2$}}$$ —2 hrs large yolk platelets of ca. 20 μm in diameter arise from them. The whole vitellogenesis of a single follicle lasts 3 days. Yolk globules are formed only in the area of the free follicle epithelium. They migrate separately into the central ooplasm where yolk platelets of different age are deposited in a mixed pattern. An euplasmic halo remains free of yolk thus marking the anterior pole of the egg. It is shown that no yolk material is synthesized in the ooplasm and in the trophocytes. A contribution of the follicle epithelium to yolk formation can not totally be excluded. The temporal and spatial pattern of yolk deposition is discussed. The determination of the oocyte axis and the preformed ooplasmic reaction centers for early embryogenesis are considered.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Einbau von intracranial sowie intraocular-appliziertem N-acetyl-3H-Mannosamin (N-Ac-3H-Man) in das optische System (Tectum opticum bzw. Tractus opticus) von Scardinius erythrophthalmus und Carassius carassius (cyprinidae, Telosteer) wurde autoradiographisch untersucht und mit dem Einbau von 3H-Histidin verglichen. 1. Intracranial appliziertes N-Ac-3H-Man wird im Tectum opticum in Glykoproteine und Ganglioside im Verhältnis von 2:1 eingebaut. 2. Die Synthese von Gangliosiden und Sialo-Glycoproteinen erfolgt im Nervengewebe im Gegensatz zu der von Proteinen ubiquitär, d. h. sowohl in den Perikaryen als auch in den Fasern. 3. Nach einseitiger intraocularer Applikation von N-Ac-3H-Man werden bereits nach 24 stündiger Inkorporationszeit ausschließlich die mit dem injizierten Auge zusammenhängenden Sehschichten (Stratum opticum) des kontralateralen Tectum opticum radioaktiv markiert. Im Zusammenhang mit ergänzenden biochemischen Analysen ergibt sich, daß die Radioaktivität niedermolekularer Aminozucker mit dem schnellen axonalen Transport (〉40 mm/d) zum Zwecke einer peripheren Gangliosid-Synthese im Tractus opticus proximo-distal verlagert wird.
    Notes: Summary The incorporation of intra-cranially and intra-ocularly injected (N-Ac-3H-Man) and 3H-histidine into the optic systems (optic tectum and optic tract) of Scardinius erythrophthalmus and Carassius carassius was investigated by means of autoradiography. 1. N-Ac-3H-Man injected intra-cranially, is incorporated into gangliosides and glycorproteins in a ratio of 1:2 in the optic tectum. 2. In nervous tissue gangliosides and sialo-glycoproteins are labeled ubiquitously, i.e. in the perikarya as well as in the fibers. 3. Following an intra-ocular injection of N-Ac-3H-Man and after an incorporation period of 24 hrs, only the optic layers in the contralateral optic tectum are labelled (gangliosides). Together with corresponding biochemical data, this shows, that in the optic tract radioactivity of low molecular amino sugars is transported proximo-distally by means of rapid axonal flow (〉40 mm/d), before the incorporation into high molecular compounds.

    Notes: Summary To determine whether or not prostaglandins enter adrenocortical parenchymal cells,3H-PGE1 was injected intravenously into rats. In histological preparations, grains denoting activity were noted in intracellular lipid droplets and nuclei and in sinusoids. At the fine structural level, activity was observed in lipid droplets, mitochondria, the agranular endoplasmic reticulum, nuclei and the plasma membrane. Biochemical lipid analyses of the adrenals revealed activity in the cholesterol and cholesterol ester fractions. Large amounts of unaltered3H-PGE1 and its degradation products were also present. Compared to the liver, the adrenal was more effective in degrading prostaglandin, when expressed on a weight basis. The possible roles of the organelles in PGE1 degradation and in prostaglandin-related hormone synthesis are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La préparation de coupes fines, plano-parallèles d'os non décalcifié, d'épaisseur connue, pour la réalisation de microradiographies et d'autoradiographies quantitatives est décrite. Pour éviter que des fractures de l'os se produisent, le fragment osseux fixé doit être inclus dans un matériel approprié qui ne doit pas se rétracter. Un minimum de force doit être appliqué à l'échantillon pendant la coupe pour éviter des vibrations. La méthode décrite, utilisant une scie circulaire tournant à faible vitesse, est adéquate. Le polissage final des surfaces du specimen est réalisé sur une machine à polir modifiée. On peut préparer un grand nombre de coupes en relativement peu de temps pour des études statistiques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Herstellung von dünnen, parallelgestellten Schnitten von unentkalktem Knochen bekannter Dicke zur quantitativen Auto- und Mikroradiographie wird beschrieben. Der Knochen hat die Tendenz, unter Druck zu brechen. Um diese Schwierigkeit zu überwinden, ist es sehr wichtig, daß die fixierte Knochenprobe genügend vom Einbettungsmaterial durchdrungen wird und daß das Einschlußmittel sich vom Knochenrand weg kontrahiert. Beim Schneiden darf nur ein minimaler Druck auf die Probe ausgeübt werden, damit der Knochen nicht zertrümmert wird. Die beschriebene Methode, bei welcher eine spezielle Einrichtung zum Auftropfen des Schmiermittels den Gebrauch einer langsam rotierenden Kreissäge ermöglichte, erwies sich als günstig. Das schließliche Polieren der Oberflächen der Proben wurde auf einer modifizierten Schleifmaschine ausgeführt. Mit dieser Methode kann eine große Anzahl von Schnitten in relativ kurzer Zeit hergestellt werden; dies ist sehr wichtig, um eine angemessene Anzahl von Proben für statistische Analysen zu erhalten.
    Notes: Abstract The preparation of thin, parallel-sided sections of undecalcified bone of known thickness for quantitative auto- and micro-radiography is described. To overcome the tendency of the bone to fracture when stressed, it is essential that the fixed sample of bone should be adequately penetrated by the embedding material and that the mounting material should not contract away from the edge of the bone. Minimum stress must be applied to the sample when cutting or the bone may be shattered. The method described, using a gravity feed to a low speed circular saw, has been found to be suitable. Final polishing of the surfaces of the specimen was carried out on a modified lapping machine. Large numbers of sections can be prepared in a relatively short time by the method and this is essential to obtain an adequate number of samples for statistical analysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les surfaces d'émail dentaire sont confrontées avec des solutions de calcium et phosphate, qui y recirculent. Les réactions cinétiques au niveau des surfaces en calcium, phosphate, fluorure et ions hydrogène sont déterminées dans des solutions à concentrations en ions fluor constantes (0.012, 0.025, 0.050, 0.250 ou 0.500 mM/l) et/ou à pH constant (6.8, 7.0, 7.2 ou 7.4). Les vitesses de réactions des ions calcium, phosphate, hydrogène et fluorures augmentent dans les conditions suivantes: 1) augmentation de la surface d'émail, 2) augmentation des vitesses d'écoulement au niveau des surfaces, 3) augmentation du pH de la solution et 4) augmentation de la concentration en ion fluorure. Les vitesses presque proportionnelles des réactions mesurées simultanément indiquent la formation de minéraux apatitiques à la surface de l'émail pendant tout le temps de contact solide-solution.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Oberflächen von Zahnschmelz wurden mit konstant zirkulierenden Lösungen, welche Calcium und Phosphate enthielten, equilibriert. Die kinetischen Oberflächenreaktionen von Calcium-, Phosphat-, Fluori- und Wasserstoff-Ionen wurden in Lösungen mit konstanten Fluoridkonzentrationen (0,012, 0,025, 0,050, 0,250 oder 0,500 mM/l) und/oder konstantem pH (6,8, 7,0, 7,2 oder 7,4) bestimmt. Die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeiten dieser Ionen an der Grenze zwischen fester und flüssiger Phase erhöhten sich unter folgenden Bedingungen: 1. Vergrößerung der Schmelzoberfläche; 2. Erhöhung der Geschwindigkeit der der Oberfläche zugeführten Lösungen; 3. Erhöhung des pH der Lösung; 4. Erhöhung der Fluoridionenkonzentration in der Lösung. Die beinahe proportionalen Geschwindigkeiten der gleichzeitig gemessenen Reaktionen deuteten darauf hin, daß auf den Schmelzoberflächen während der ganzen Equilibrierungszeit Apatitminerale gebildet wurden.
    Notes: Abstract Surfaces of tooth enamel were interfaced with recirculating solutions containing calcium and phosphate. The kinetic interfacial reactions of calcium, phosphate, fluoride, and hydrogen ions were determined in solutions of constant fluoride ion concentrations (0.012, 0.025, 0.050, 0.250, or 0.500 mM/l) and /or constant pH (6.8, 7.0, 7.2, or 7.4). The rates of the calcium, phosphate, fluoride, and hydrogen ion reactions at the solid-solution interface increased under the following conditions: (1) increase of the enamel surface area; (2) increase of the rates of solution flow to the interface; (3) increase of solution pH; and (4) increase of the solution fluoride ion concentration. The nearly proportional rates of the concurrently measured reactions indicated the formation of apatitic minerals on the enamel surfaces throughout the time of solid-solution interface.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La spécificité de coiffes d'émail et de specimens de poudre synthétique d'hydroxyleapatite, dispersée dans une matrice de poly(methylméthacrylate), vis à vis du transfert de K+ dans des chambres à concentration de KCl, a été étudiée avant et après application pendant 24 heures de 1.0 M KF à pH normal. Les potentiels de membrane après ce traitement sont généralement plus élevés, l'augmentation se faisant avec l'élévation du gradient de concentration. Ces résultats emblent indiquer que l'émail agit comme une membrane échangeuse d'ions. Il semble que la densité des cristaux d'apatite, le long des voies de diffusion, peut être augmentée par un traitement local de fluor et peut induire une spécificité cationique plus élevée.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Schmelzschicht eines Zahnes, sowie Proben von synthetischem, in einer Poly(methylmethacrylat)-Matrix verteiltem Hydroxyapatitpulver wurden wie folgt untersucht: ihre Selektivität auf K+-Transport in Meßzellen mittels KCl-Konzentrationsgradienten wurde vor und nach einer 24stündigen Behandlung mit 1,0 M KF bei pH 7,6 geprüft. Die Membranpotentiale waren nach dieser Behandlung im allgemeinen höher; die Erhöhung nahm mit dem Konzentrationsgradient zu. Daraus wird geschlossen, daß die Ergebnisse mit der Hypothese, wonach Schmelz als Ionenaustausch-Membran wirken kann, übereinstimmen und es wird vorgeschlagen, daß mit KCl-Lösungen die wirksame fixierte Ladungsdichte auf den Oberflächen der Hydroxyapatitkriställchen entlang den Diffusionsbahnen durch lokale Fluoridbehandlung erhöht werden kann und dadurch eine höhere Kationenselektivität auf die Struktur ausübt.
    Notes: Abstract The selectivity of enamel caps, and specimens of a synthetic hydroxyapatite powder dispersed within a poly(methylmethacrylate) matrix, to K+ transport in KCl concentration cells has been examined before and after a 24-hour application of 1.0 M KF at its natural pH. The membrane potentials after this treatment were in general higher, the elevation increasing as the concentration gradient was increased. It is concluded that the results are consistent with the hypothesis that enamel acts as an ion-exchange membrane and it is suggested that with KCl solutions the effective fixed negative charge density associated with the surfaces of the hydroxyapatite crystallites along the diffusion pathways may be increased by a topical fluoride treatment and may induce a higher cationic selectivity to the structure.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une fluorose squelettique est induite chez des lapins soumis à des régimes adéquates et faibles en calcium. Les lapins soumis à un régime pauvre en calcium sont plus sensibles à l'intoxication fluorée, ainsi que le démontre les exostoses et la rétention plus élvée de fluor du fémur. La matrice collagène de l'os et la synthèse de l'hexosamine, étudiée par l'incorporation de proline (U)14C dans le collagène et de glucose (1)14C dans l'hexosamine, ne semblent pas affecter par le fluor et par la concentration de calcium dans le régime des lapins.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Skelettfluorose wurde bei Kaninchen hervorgerufen, welche ausreichende und niedrige Calciumdiäten erhielten. Kaninchen mit einem niedrigen Calciumgehalt in der Nahrung entwickelten eine stärkere Fluoridintoxikation, was sich durch Exostosebildung und höhere Fluoridretention in den Femora zeigte. Die Synthese des Knochenmatirx-Collagens und der Hexosamine [untersucht mittels Einbau von Prolin (U)14C in Collagen und Glukose (1)14C in Hexosamin] wurde weder durch Fluorid noch durch den Calciumgehalt der Kaninchen-Nahrung beeinflußt.
    Notes: Abstract Skeletal fluorosis was induced in rabbits fed adequate and low calcium diets. Rabbits on a low calcium diet were found to suffer more from fluoride intoxication as evidenced by exostosis formation and higher retention of fluoride in the femora. Bone matrix collagen and hexosamine synthesis assessed by14C-proline (U) incorporation into collagen and14C-glucose (1) into hexosamine were found to be unaffected by the fluoride as well as by the level of calcium in the diets of rabbits.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'absorption, les concentrations sanguines et osseuses du fluor (F) et du calcium (Ca), à partir de mélanges de monofluorophosphate de sodium (Na2PO3F) et de gluconate de calcium (CaGluc), ont été étudiées chez le rat dans diverses conditions expérimentales. Lorsque Na2PO3F et CaCluc sont ingérés simultanément, dans la proportion pondérale de F/Ca=1/50, on observe un parallelisme de l'absorption et de la concentration squelettique de F et Ca. Ce fait s'explique partiellement par un effet prolongé de l'absorption de F sous l'influence de CaGluc. L'hydrolyse des ions PO3F est faible dans l'estomac, presque totale dans l'intestin, et apparemment totale dans le plasma sanguin. L'ingestion combinée de Na2PO3F-CaCluc donne une élévation comparativement faible, modérée et prolongée de la concentration plasmatique de F, alors qu'aucune action n'est observée pour le Ca plasmatique chez les rats normaux. L'absorption et la concentration squelettique de F et Ca sont augmentées chez des rats déficients en Ca et diminuées chez des rats en hypervitaminose D2.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Absorption, die Konzentration in Blut und die Aufnahme im Skelet von Fluorid (F) und Calcium (Ca), zugeführt als Natriummonofluorphosphat (Na2PO3F) und als Calciumgluconat (CaGluc), wurden bei Ratten unter verschiedenen Bedingungen untersucht. Die hauptsächlichsten Ergebnisse waren folgende: Wurden Na2PO3F und CaGluc in einem Gewichtsverhältnis von F∶Ca=1∶50 gleichzeitig eingenommen, so verliefen die Absorption und die Aufnahme im Skelet von F und Ca parallel. Dies konnte teilweise durch eine verlangsamte F-Absorption unter dem Einfluß von CaGluc erklärt werden. Die Hydrolyse der PO3F-Ionen war im Magen spärlich, im Darm beinahe vollständig und scheinbar vollständig im Blutplasma. Die kombinierte Einnahme von Na2PO3F und CaGluc ergab eine verhältnismäßig langsame, gemäßigte und verzögerte Erhöhung der F-Konzentration im Plasma, während bei normalen Ratten keine Beeinflussung des Plasma-Calciums gefunden wurde. Die F- und Ca-Absorption und deren Aufnahme im Skelet waren bei calciumarmen Ratten erhöht und bei mit Vitamin D2 überdosierten Tieren erniedrigt.
    Notes: Abstract Absorption, blood levels and skeletal uptake of fluorine (F) and calcium (Ca) from combinations of sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) and calcium gluconate (CaGluc) were studied in rats under varying conditions. When Na2PO3F and CaGluc were ingested simultaneously in a ratio by weight F/Ca=1/50, absorption and skeletal uptake of F and Ca were parallel. This was partly due to the prolonged absorption of F under the influence of CaGluc. Hydrolysis of PO3F ions was weak in the stomach, nearly complete in the intestine and apparently complete in the blood plasma. Combined Na2PO3F-CaGluc ingestion gave a comparatively slow, moderate but prolonged elevation of the plasma F levels, while no influence on plasma Ca was found in normal rats. F and Ca absorption and skeletal uptake were increased in Ca-deficient rats and decreased in vitamin D2-intoxicated rats.

    Notes: Summary The histochemistry and DNA turnover of postcapillary high-endothelial venules in lymph nodes and Peyer's patches have been investigated. Autoradiographic studies showed that the cells are long lived. They exhibit a distinct metachromatic reaction that is indicative of a moderate amount of RNA. They are PAS positive due to the presence of glycogen. Considerable amounts of mucopolysaccharides are not found inside the cells. The reactions for lactate dehydrogenase, NADH-tetrazolium reductase and unspecific esterase are strong. The intensities of the reactions are comparable to those of the epithelium of the intestinal villus and of reticular cells and definitely stronger than that of other endothelial cells. Tests for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADPH-tetrazolium reductase showed that these enzymes are either absent or present in small amounts.

    Notes: Summary Retino-hypothalamic connections have been studied autoradiographically in the rat, guinea pig, rabbit, cat and monkey following the intravitreal injection of 3H-leucine or 3H-proline, and electron microscopically following unilateral eye removal in the guinea pig and monkey. In each of the species examined evidence has been found for a direct projection from the retina to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, but to no other region of the hypothalamus. The projection to the suprachiasmatic nucleus is always bilateral (even in the albino guinea pig, in which all other components of the retinal projection are crossed) but from grain counts in our autoradiographs it appears that the input to the contralateral nucleus is about twice as heavy as that on the ipsilateral side. Most of the retinal fibers appear to terminate within the ventral part of the nucleus where they form asymmetric synapses either upon small dendritic branches or dendritic spines. The possible role of this retinal projection to the suprachiasmatic nucleus in mediating a variety of light-induced neuroendocrine responses is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Bereich der abdominalen Tergite V-X und oberseits and den Zerzi liegt bei Nymphen beider Geschlechter und bei adulten Weibchen von Blatta orientalis statt des einschichtigen Epithels ein zweischichtiges Drüsengewebe vor, welches ein visköses Sekret aus Wasser, freien Aminosäuren (+ Glutamin), Oligo- und zahlreichen Polypeptiden auf die Tergitenoberfläche sezerniert. Die strukturelle Differenzierung des Drüsengewebes ist mit der Sekretionsaktivität korreliert, sowohl während der Ontogenese als auch im Bereich verschiedener Tergite (Maxima: weibliche Subimagines, Tergite VI und VII). Untersuchungen mittels hochauflösender quantitativer Autoradiographie ergaben, daß injizierte Aminosäuren im größten Teil der Drüsenzellen angereichert werden: Markierte Zellen zeigen Radioaktivität im reichlich ausgebildeten rauhen endoplasmatischen Retikulum, Golgi-Apparat, in Sekretgranula und in ihrem Endapparat. Dieser durchsetzt die Drüsenzelle als langer gewundener Kanal mit Bürstensaum, in welchen je eine darüberliegende Gangzelle einen chitinösen Ausführgang inseriert. Die gleichzeitige Anwesenheit von markierten und nicht markierten Zellen mit praktisch gleich stark entwickeltem endoplasmatischem Retikulum und Golgi-Apparat zeigt, daß die morphologische Ausbildung dieser mit der Proteinsekretion befaßten Organellen nicht unbedingt deren Aktivität reflektiert. Vereinzelt stehen Zellfortsätze mit den morphologischen Charakteristika neurosekretorischer Tätigkeit in direktem Kontakt mit Drüsenzellen. Eine Abwehrfunktion des viskösen Sekrets durch bloße mechanische Behinderung kleiner räuberischer Arthropoden wurde sichergestellt, wobei es dem Beutetier gelingt, zu flüchten. Weiters wurde ein zweiter Drüsenzelltyp beobachtet, der mit injizierten Aminosäuren nur schwach markierbar ist, ebenfalls einen Endapparat besitzt, jedoch arm an rauhem endoplasmatischem Retikulum und gleichzeitig reich an Mitochondrien, Golgi-Apparaten und kleinen Vesikeln ist. Die Funktion dieses zweiten Zelltyps ist zwar nicht sichergestellt, möglicherweise reguliert er jedoch die funktionell wichtige Viskosität des Sekretes.
    Notes: Summary A two-layered glandular tissue occurs on tergites V to X and on the cerci of juvenile specimens of both sexes and of adult females of Blatta orientalis, in place of the usual monolayer of epidermal cells. This gland tissue contains two cell types and secretes a viscous product of water, free amino acids (+ glutamine), oligo- and several polypeptides onto the tergal surface. The structural differentiation of the gland is correlated with secretory activity, both in different molting stages and in different tergites of an individual; maximal values are found in tergites VI und VII on last instar females. Applying quantitative radioautography on the electron microscope level, we found, that although the most common gland cell type contained an abundantly developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi-apparatus, characteristic of protein secreting cells, not all of them incorporated equally the injected amino acids. This is consistent with an asynchronous secretory cycle, also suggested by biochemical studies. Of great significance is the demonstration that the fine structural elaboration of the cellular organelles involved in protein synthesis cannot be used as a criterion for their ongoing activity. The secretion is discharged into an end-apparatus consisting of a tortuous canal with a brushborder that penetrates the whole gland cell. One unbranched chitinous duct, formed by a “duct carrying cell”, is inserted into the end-apparatus of each gland cell. Occasionally, cell processes exhibiting the typical morphological characteristics of neurosecretory cells are seen in direct contact with gland cells. A defensive function of the secretion which acts by mechanically impairing smaller predatory arthropods was ascertained. To achieve this effect and to allow the preyanimal to escape, the secretion has to be adjusted to a proper viscosity by an adequate dilution. This might be achieved by the second gland cell type, which was not selectively labelled by injected amino acids; this cell type contains an endapparatus, abundant mitochondria, Golgi-apparatuses and small vesicles, but only few profiles of rough endoplasmic reticulum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die sowohl nach singulärer 3H-Thymidin-Injektion als auch nach kontinuierlicher 3H-Thymidin-Dauerinfusion an Ratten erhobenen autoradiographischen Befunde lassen folgende Schlüsse ziehen: 1. Die während des Wachstums im Vergleich zum Ende der Foetalperiode ganz auffällige, unmittelbar postpartal nachweisbare Depression des 3H-Thymidin-Markierungs-Index im Parenchym von Leber, Niere und Pankreas wird auf eine funktionelle Umstellung und zumindest in der Leber auch auf eine strukturelle Umgestaltung bezogen. Schon am 30. Tag ergeben sich Anhaltspunkte für eine Umschaltung auf einen langsamen Proliferationsmodus, die bei 60 und 120 Tagen mit Halbierung der DNS-Syntheserate vollends abgeschlossen ist. 2. In der kompensatorisch regenerierenden Leber nach 2/3-Teilhepatektomie wird der Anteil nicht proliferierender Zellen — d.h. die non growth fraction — von juvenilen über eben ausgewachsene bis zu senilen Tieren kontinuierlich größer. 3. Bei der reparativen Regeneration in der unterbundenen Niere nach temporärer 1stündiger Ischämie ist der Proliferationsumfang in den am stärksten geschädigten Nephronabschnitten auch am größten. Es führt das Stratum subcorticale, dann folgt die Zona intermedia, das Stratum labyrinthicum und die Zona basalis. 4. Demgegenüber weist die Topik proliferierender Zellen bei kompensatorischer Nierenregeneration nach kontralateraler Ischämie bzw. Nephrektomie wohl quantitative aber keine qualitativen Unterschiede zu der beim physiologischen Zellersatz von Kontrollen auf. Das Stratum labyrinthicum zeigt die höchsten Werte und dann stellt sich eine stufenweise erfolgende Abnahme der prozentualen Markierung über das Stratum subcorticale zur Zona intermedia und Zona basalis ein. 5. Anhand der autoradiographischen Daten wird ein Modell für die Proliferation von Leberepithelien juveniler und ausgewachsener Ratten entworfen. Weiter befaßt sich dieses Modell mit der Zellneubildung nach Teilhepatektomie im Verlauf und nach Abschluß der Regeneration. Nach den entwickelten Vorstellungen wirkt eine partielle Hepatektomie an ausgewachsenen und senilen Tieren durch Verkleinerung der non growth fraction und Vergrößerung des proliferating pools im Sinne einer Verjüngerung der proliferatorischen Potenz des Leberepithels.
    Notes: Summary The autoradiographic results reported, are obtained on rats after single injections of 3H-thymidine as well as continuous 3H-thymidine infusions. They lead to the following conclusions: 1. Compared to the end of embryonic development the 3H-labelling index in parenchyma of liver (epithelium), kidney (tubule), and exocrine pancreas (acinus) is depressed during the first day of postnatal growth. From 1–4 days postpartal fluctuations occur, afterwards the labelling index increases between 7 and 12 days and from there on a decrease is observed up to 120 days. This depression and fluctuation of the labelling index is probably connected with a functional transposition and, especially in the liver, with a structural transformation. The reduction of the mean grain density of labelled nuclei by about a factor of 2, begins already at day 30 and is completed on day 60 and 120. It depends on a reduction of the rate of DNA synthesis. This might be explained as a consequence of a commutation from the rapid to the slow mode of cellular proliferation. 2. In the compensatory regenerating liver after 2/3 partial hepatectomy the portion of non labelled nuclei—i.e. the non growth fraction—increases continuously from juvenile to young adult and especially up to senile animals after a postoperative continuous 3H-thymidine infusion. 3. During reparative regeneration in the ligatured kidney following temporal (1 h) ischaemia the extent of proliferation after postoperative continuous 3H-thymidine infusion is hightest in those regions of the nephron with the largest postischaemic damage. The percentage of labelled nuclei decreases from the stratum subcorticale to the zona intermedia, stratum labyrinthicum, and zona basalis. 4. On the other hand only quantitative but not qualitative differences exist in the topic of proliferating cells between compensatory regeneration in the unligaturated kidney after contralateral temporal ischaemia or nephrectomy and the physiological cell renewal of controls. After continuous 3H-thymidine infusions the highest percentage of labelled cells is observed within the stratum labyrinthicum and then a gradual decrease occurs from there to the stratum subcorticale, zona intermedia and basalis. Thus, cellular proliferation in compensatory regeneration of the kidney is only an enhanced form of those proliferative processes occuring during physiological cell renewal. 5. With the autoradiographic data a model concerning proliferation of liver epithelia in juvenile and adult rats has been constructed. Furthermore this model deals with cell renewal during and after regeneration following partial hepatectomy. The conclusion is, that partial hepatectomy diminishes the non growth fraction and enlarges the proliferating pool. Thus this operation acts as a rejuvenating process in the proliferating potency of liver epithelia.

    Notes: Summary The fate of 35S-cysteine incorporated into the hypothalamic-hypophyseal neurosecretory system was followed in normal rats as a function of time from 30 min up to 30 hrs after intraperitoneal administration (11 different times, three rats each). Autoradiography and grain counting were employed to determine quantitatively the activities present in: supraoptic nucleus (SON), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), three different sites in the hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract (HHT), corresponding to its initial, middle and late portions, and neurohypophysis (NH). In SON and PVN, the kinetic behaviour of 35S-cysteine was compatible with a two-compartment model, implying decline of tracer activity in accordance with two exponential components. Of these, the slow throughput component had its closely equivalent, apparently independent, counterparts in the HHT and NH. Replicas of the rapidly abating activity peak were seen, superimposed on the slow component, in the HHT with such timing of its appearance at the various sites, as to be consistent with the concept of travel through the HHT, at substantially constant speed and without delay, of material rich in 35S-cysteine that has been primarily synthesized in the SON and PVN (with the “transport theory of neurosecretion”). This flow was calculated to have a velocity in the order of 0.6 mm per hour. The kinetic phenomena and their association with the supposed sites of synthesis, and transport, of the neurosecretory material are discussed with reference to earlier literature.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Nach einer Dreifach-Markierung mit 3H- und 14C-Thymidin zur autoradiographischen Unterscheidung der Zyklusstadien wurden die Veränderungen des Nukleolus während des Zellzyklus in normalen diploiden menschlichen Fibroblastenkulturen untersucht. Es ergab sich, daß die Zellen in den ersten Stunden der Interphase die höchste durchschnittliche Nukleolenanzahl je Zellkern aufweisen (3,62 im Mittel). Im Verlauf des Zellzyklus verringert sich die Anzahl der Nukleolen je Zellkern und erreicht in der G2-Periode einen Durchschnitt von 2,51. Die durchschnittliche Fläche aller Nukleolen je Kern nimmt im Verlauf des Zellzyklus zu. Allerdings ist die Verdoppelung der DNS-Menge des Kernes im Verlauf des Zellzyklus nicht von einer Verdoppelung der Nukleolengröße begleitet. Der Quotient aus der Fläche aller Nukleolen je Kern und der Fläche des Kernes ist in den frühesten Stadien des Zellzyklus am größten und nimmt im Verlauf der Interphase leicht ab.
    Notes: Summary In diploid human fibroblast cultures the cells in different stages of the cell cycle can be distinguished by their autoradiographic patterns after labeling the cells with 3H- and 14C-thymidine. At the beginning of the interphase (up to 4 hours after the mitosis) cells show the highest mean number of nucleoli per nucleus (3.62). In the course of the cell cycle the number of nucleoli per nucleus decreases and in the G2-peroid the mean number of nucleoli per cell is 2.51. The mean total projection area of the nucleoli per cell increases in the course of the cell cycle. However, duplication of the DNA in the nuclei is not accompanied by a duplication of the nucleolar area. The proportion between nucleolar and nuclear area shows its highest value in the early interphase and decreases in the course of the cell cycle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Anhand des Verlaufs des 3H-Index und der Mitoserate in Anhängigkeit vom Lebensalter wurde die Proliferationsaktivität in den Zonen der Nebennierenrinde untersucht. 84 SPF-Ratten erhielten 2 μCi/g 3H-Thymidin i.p.; der Untersuchungszeitraum erstreckte sich vom 18. Trächtigkeitstag bis zur 12. Lebenswoche. Alle Zonen zeigten in der Rangfolge Glomerulosa — Fasciculata — Reticularis eine Abnahme DNS-synthetisierender Zellkerne. Geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede im Ausmaß der Proliferationsaktivität konnten zu keiner Zeit nachgewiesen werden. Aus der Dissoziation der Kurven des 3H-Index und der Mitoserate bei vergleichbaren DNS-Syntheseraten wird auf eine Änderung der G2-Phase des Generationszyklus der NNR-Zellen in der teilexponentiellen Wachstumsphase geschlossen.
    Notes: Summary In 84 SPF-rats the poliferative activity of the adrenal cortical cells was studied from the 18th day of pregnancy up to 12 weeks post partum. Rats were given 2 μC/g tritiated thymidine and killed 1 hour thereafter. It was shown that there was no sex-related difference in the degree of proliferation that could explain the sexual dimorphism in adrenal weights. In all cortical zones a decrease in the number of labeled cells was seen during the obvservation period. The highest percentage of labeled cells was found in the glomerulosa. There exists no parallelism of the mitotic and labeling index, which gives evidence for a change in length of the G2-phase of the cell generation cycle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Après injection de cystéine S35, les cellules A, B, C et les neurones banaux de la pars intercerebralis chez Locusta (femelles immatures et mûres) sont radioactifs. Le taux d' incorporation de la cystéine S35 dans les cellules B est identique chez toutes les femelles et il est légèrement supérieur à celui des neurones banaux. Ces résultats confirment l'inactivité sécrétoire protéique des cellules B. Les cellules C incorporent 3 à 5 fois plus de cystéine S35 que les neurones banaux. Elles synthétisent donc une ou plusieurs protéines contenant de la cystéine ce qui réaffirme leur activité neurosécrétrice chez Locusta. Les cellules A possèdent le taux d'incorporation de cystéine S35 le plus élevé: 5 à 8 fois celui des neurones banaux. Chez toutes les femelles, les cellules A synthétisent plus de neurosécrétion et en éliminent proportionellement plus que les cellules C. La neurosécrétion A est élaborée sous sa forme figurée plus rapidement (30 min) que la neurosécrétion C (60 min). Le renouvellement de la neurosécrétion A est donc quantitativement plus important et plus rapide que celui de la neurosécrétion C. Chez les femelles immatures, les cellules A et C synthétisent plus de matériel et en éliminent proportionnellement plus que chez les femelles mûres. Le temps nécessaire à l'élaboration et à la vidange des grains de neurosécrétion A est identique chez toutes les femelles. Il en est de même pour le matériel C. Le renouvellement des neurosécrétions A et C est donc plus important chez les femelles immatures que chez les femelles mûres mais il n'est pas plus rapide. L'accumulation du matériel fuchsinophile dans les cellules A et C lors de la maturation ovarienne correspond à une réduction de leur fonction neurosécrétrice: elle résulte d'une diminution de l'activité d'élimination des cellules neurosécrétrices A et C supérieure à l'affaiblissement de leur activité de synthèse.
    Notes: Summary After injection of 35S-cysteine, the A, B, C cells and the ordinary neurones of pars intercerebralis in Locusta — immature and mature females — are radioactive. The rate of incorporation of 35S-cysteine into the B cells is the same for all the females, and it is slightly higher than the rate of incorporation of 35S-cysteine into the ordinary neurones. These results demonstrate the proteinic secretory inactivity of the B cells. The C cells incorporate 3 to 5 times more 35S-cysteine than ordinary neurones. Thus, the C cells synthesize one protein or several proteins with cysteine; this observation confirms their neurosecretory activity in Locusta. The A cells have the highest rate of incorporation of 35S-cysteine: 5 to 8 times the one of ordinary neurones. In all the females, the A cells produce and release proportionally more neurosecretion than the C cells. The production of granules is faster in A cells (30 min) than in C cells (60 min). The turnover of the A neurosecretion is consequently higher and quicker than the C neurosecretion. In immature females, the A and C cells synthesize and release proportionally more material than in mature females. The time necessary for production and release of the A neurosecretion is the same for all the females. It is so for the C material. The turnover of the A and C neurosecretions is thus more important in immature females than in mature females but it is not more rapid. The accumulation of stainable neurosecretory material in A and C cells at the time of ovarian maturation is associated with a reduction of their neurosecretory activity: it is due to a decrease of the rate of release of the A and C cells being more important than their rate of production.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der Autoradiographie von Semi- und Ultradünnschnitten wurde die Verteilung der Radioaktivität nach Applikation von 3H-Putrescin im intakten und im degenerierenden N. ischiadicus der Ratte sowie in Spinalganglien untersucht. Im intakten und im geschädigten Nerven war die Radioaktivität, die zum weit überwiegenden Anteil als Spermidin und Putrescin vorkam, in allen zellulären Bestandteilen des Nerven, im Cytoplasma, in den Kernen und sehr deutlich auch in den Markscheiden, lokalisiert. Im extrazellulären Raum und über den Kollagenfibrillen war demgegenüber nur eine sehr geringe Radioaktivität festzustellen. Die physiologische Funktion von Spermidin und Putrescin im Myelin und den anderen Zellbestandteilen wird in erster Linie im Zusammenhang mit der in diesen Strukturen ebenfalls lokalisierten RNA diskutiert, da zahlreiche Hinweise für eine Rolle der Polyamine in der RNA- und Proteinsynthese vorliegen.
    Notes: Summary The distribution of radioactivity from 3H-putrescine was studied in intact and degenerated sciatic nerves, and spinal ganglia of rats by means of high resolution autoradiography. During the first three days after the administration of the labeled putrescine, the main proportion of radioactive material in the nerves was represented by spermidine and putrescine. Both, in intact and degenerating nerves, developed silver grains were deposited in all cellular components of the nervous tissue, the myelin sheath being markedly tagged. Perineural tissue was also labeled considerably, however, there was no significant amount of label in the extracellular space and in the collagen fibrils. The possible physiological significance of putrescine and spermidine in myelin and in other cellular components of nerves is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The influence of long daily photoperiods and of continuous darkness on the subcommissural organ (SCO) of Rana temporaria was studied. The amount of aldehyde-fuchsin (AF) positive material in the apical cell parts of the SCO proves to be less in light-adapted than in darkness-adapted animals in winter. The nuclear volume in the SCO of light- and of darkness-adapted animals, however, does not show any clear differences. Distinct differences in incorporation rate of 35S-cysteïne between the SCO of light- and of darkness-adapted animals cannot be observed either in winter or in summer. The conclusion must be that light/darkness conditions hardly influence the secretory activity of the SCO cells of Rana temporaria. The results mentioned above were compared with those of experiments on pineal gland and preoptic nucleus. Incorporation of 35S-cysteïne, which proceeds rather slowly, firstly takes place in the apical, i.e. supranuclear and perinuclear cell parts. Then the AF positive material located subnuclearly becomes gradually labelled. This is in support of the assumption that the apical cell parts are primarily concerned with synthesis and the basal cell parts with storage of secretory material. A marked influence of temperature on localization, appearance and amount of AF positive material in SCO cells has been observed.

    Notes: Summary With autoradiography after labelling with tritiated thymidine, the kinetics of zymogen and parietal cells were studied in the gastric mucosa of mice. After one intraperitoneal injection of the DNA precursor, zymogen cells in the DNA synthesis phase were clearly identified on autoradiograms, whereas no parietal cells were seen to synthesize DNA. In another group of mice, multiple injections were used in order to obtain a greater number of labelled cells. Following the latter procedure, analysis of grain count distributions over labelled zymogen cells and of labelling indices allowed detection of two subsequent zymogen cell divisions within an interval of approximately two months. This indicates that the cell turnover of zymogen cells is at least partly assured by their own mitotic activity. By contrast, parietal cells showed no evidence of cell division, but appeared to be derived through differentiation from other cells in the neck area of the gland. Analysis of spatial distribution of the labelled parietal cells in the glandular tube indicated that, in time, most newly formed parietal cells undergo a slow migration directed downwards to the bottom of the fundic glands. These results clearly show that the zymogen and the parietal cell population of the fundic glands have a different kinetic behaviour.

    Notes: Summary A method of cultivation involving both repeated trypsinisations (at room temperature) and explantation of the tissue fragments on polythene discs has been shown to be apt to the growth in vitro of rat adult decapsulated adreno-cortical tissue. This is the first time that the successful cultivation of such a tissue is reported. The technique and its applications are discussed. The effects of β1–24 corticotrophin (ACTH1–24) on the rat adult adrenal cultures have been examined by both electron microscopy and autoradiography. Zona fasciculata and reticularis cells grown in the absence of ACTH for long terms (15–16 days) survive and proliferate as dedifferentiated elements. If ACTH1–24 is added to the cultures, adrenocortical cells will, within 2 days, simultaneously increase their proliferation rate and differentiate. After 7 days of treatment, cortical cells exhibit not only fully differentiated but even hypertrophic morphologic features. Significant stimulations of adrenal DNA, RNA and gross protein synthesis have been found to take place at different times after the starting of the ACTH1–24 treatment. These data are discussed in relation to the findings previously reported in literature. Rat adult adrenal gland tissue cultures are proposed as a non-previously available tool for investigations into the physiopathology of the adrenal cells to be carried out in a carefully controlled environment.

    Notes: Summary The cellular and subcellular distribution of radioactivity in the mouse thyroid gland different times (20 min — 8 hours) after intravenous administration of 3H-L-DOPA was studied by means of quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography. High concentrations of autoradiographic silver grains occur over parafollicular cells and adrenergic nerves while the labelling of follicular cells and lumina is low or absent and similar to the labelling of connective tissue cells at all observation times. Over the parafollicular cells high levels of radioactivity can be recorded already 20 min after administration of the labelled amino acid. The grain counts are highest at 1 hour and decrease then at 2.5 and 8 hours. The intracellular distribution of label is similar at all observation times; thus, the concentration of silver grains over the typical cytoplasmic granules of the parafollicular cells is 4–5 times higher compared to the concentration over the remainder of the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Treatment with a decarboxylase inhibitor prior to the injection of 3H-L-DOPA results in a low and uniform labelling of all thyroid cells. This finding, taken together with the observation that also pretreatment with reserpine abolishes the autoradiographic reaction over the cytoplasmic granules, gives strong support to the idea that the great majority of silver grains observed over parafollicular cells represents dopamine formed by decarboxylation of the labelled precursor.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die Ovariolen adulter Imagines von Bruchidius obtectus licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Durch den Nachweis von Nährsträngen, die die Oocyten mit den Nährzellen der Endkammer verbinden, konnte erstmals gezeigt werden, daß Bruchidius telotroph-meroistische Ovariolen besitzt. Die Nährzellen, deren Kerne kettenförmige Nukleolen aufweisen, bilden bei den Imagines ein Syncytium, das von einem räumlichen Maschennetz aus interstitiellen Zellen stabilisiert wird. In den Oocytenkernen entsteht während der Prävitellogenese eine Karyosphäre, von der aus „Nukleolarkörper“, Binnenkörper und „segmentierte Längsstrukturen“ gebildet werden. Die „Nukleolarkörper“ und die kettenförmigen Nährzellnukleolen werden als multiple Nukleolen diskutiert. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit stellt eine ontogenetische Untersuchung des Ovariolengewebes dar. Danach entsteht das Nährzellsyncytium in der Phase der Imaginalhäutung aus einem zellulär-fusomalen Verband. Die morphologische Abgrenzung der Ei- und Nährzellen voneinander sowie die Ausbildung von Nährsträngen finden ebenfalls in dieser Entwicklungsphase statt. Die präsumptiven Ei- und Nährzellen durchlaufen auf dem Puppenstadium das Pachytän der Prophase der Meiose. Damit weisen sich die Nährzellen als Keimbahnabkömmlinge aus. Im dritten Teil der Untersuchungen erfolgt eine Analyse der DNA- und RNA-Synthese sowie des RNA-Transports in dem Ovariolengewebe adulter Imagines. DNA Markierungen mit 3H-Thymidin lassen auf einen, wenn auch geringen, Polyploidiegrad der Nährzellkerne schließen. Markierungen mit 3H-Uridin belegen eine hohe RNA-Syntheserate der Nährzellkerne. Mit nahezu gleicher Intensität wie die Nährzellkerne synthetisieren auch die Oocytenkerne RNA, obwohl sie eine Karyosphäre bilden. Mit Hilfe von Markierungsgradienten im Ooplasma sowie von Nährstrangmarkierungen gelang der Nachweis eines RNA-Transportes von Nährzellsyncytium über die Nährstränge in die Oocyten. Abschließend wird das telotrophe Ovar von Bruchidius (Coleoptera-Polyphaga) dem telotrophen Ovar der Heteropteren gegenübergestellt. Der Vergleich legt eine konvergente Entwicklung dieses Ovartyps bei Insekten nahe.
    Notes: Summary In the first part of the investigation the ovarioles of adult imagines are analyzed by light and electron microscopy. It is shown that nutritive cords connect the oocytes with the apical trophic tissue, demonstrating that Bruchidius has telotroph-meroistic ovarioles. The trophic tissue, in which the nurse cell nuclei contain chain-like nucleoli, is a syncytium stabilized by a three-dimensional network of interstitial cells. During previtellogenesis, a karyosphere is formed in oocyte nuclei in which “nucleolar bodies”, endobodies, and “filament bodies” originate. The “nucleolar bodies” and the chain-like nucleoli of nurse cells are considered to be multiple nucleoli. In the second part, the development of the ovariole tissue during ontogenesis is studied. The syncytial trophic tissue derives from a cellular-fusomal organization during the phase of molting. During the same period, the morphological distinction between nurse cells and oocytes as well as the development of nutritive cords take place. Nurse cells are derived from the germ-line, since, during pupal stages, both the prospective oocytes and the prospective nurse cells undergo the prophase of meiosis up to pachytene. The third part is an investigation of DNA- and RNA-synthesis and RNA-transport in the ovariole tissue of adult imagines. DNA labelling with tritiated thymidine shows a small degree of polyploidisation in nurse cell nuclei. By labelling with tritiated uridine, a high rate of RNA-synthesis could be demonstrated in nurse cell nuclei. A similar amount of RNA-synthesis exists in oocyte nuclei, even if they form a karyosphere. The transport of RNA from the apical trophic tissue via the nutritive cords into the oocytes is demonstrated by silver grain gradients over the ooplasm and by the labelling of nutritive cords. Finally, the telotrophic ovary of Bruchidius (Coleoptera-Polyphaga) is compared with the telotrophic ovary of Heteroptera, suggesting a convergent development of telotroph-meroistic ovaries in insects.

    Notes: Summary In Lineus ruber the biochemical differentiation of the new pigmentary cells is sequential during the reparative regeneration of the eyes. The enzymatic pathways for porphyrin and melanin biosynthesis appear successively. Ultrastructural and high resolution radioautography studies, show that melanization occurs in specialized organelles called premelanosomes, melanosomes and melanin granules. Prophyrogenesis occurs in Golgi vesicles which are also involved in melanogenesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Gonocyten der Ratte können in 2 hintereinander geschaltete Keimzellarten gegliedert werden, die I-Gonocyten und II-Gonocyten. Die I-Gonocyten proliferieren bei der Wistarratte zwischen 15. und 18. Fetaltag, die Tochterzellen der I-Gonocyten, die II-Gonocyten treten nach einer Zeitdauer von 7–8 Tagen zwischen 4. und 6. Lebenstag in die Mitose. Auf Grund der gewonnenen Daten erschien es sinnvoll, die mitotische Aktivität der II-Gonocyten und die Bestimmung der Dauer ihrer S-Phase an 5 Tage alten Ratten durchzuführen. Untersuchungen von 50 Zentren mitotischer Aktivität in einem in Serie geschnittenen Hoden einer 5 Tage alten Ratte ergaben, daß 148 von 190 Mitosen, d.s. 78%, in Gruppen und 122, d.s. 64% der Mitosen in „Paaren“ vorkommen. Mit der Methode der markierten Mitosen (Quastler u. Sherman, 1959) und der Methode der Doppelmarkierung (Hilscher u. Maurer, 1962) wurde die Dauer der S-Phase der II-Gonocyten bei 5 Tage alten Ratten bestimmt. Es ergab sich eine gute Übereinstimmung der nach beiden Methoden bestimmten Werte. Die S-Phasen-Dauer der II-Gonocyten dürfte danach am 5. Lebenstag bei 11,0–11,5 Std liegen.
    Notes: Summary The gonocytes of the rat are of two types: I-gonocytes and II-gonocytes. In Wistar rat I-gonocytes proliferate at the beginning of prespermatogenesis between the 15th and 18th day of gestation. Their multiplication stops between the 18th and 19th day. Starting on the 4th postnatal day, II-gonocytes, the daughter cells of I-gonocytes, begin to proliferate. The 5th postnatal day proved to be favourable for studying the mitotic activity and for determing the S-phase of II-gonocytes. In one serially sectioned testis of a 5 days old rat 25 sex cords were reconstructed. Till now 50 centres of mitotic activity of II-gonocytes with 190 mitoses were localized. Only 42 out of the 190 mitoses were isolated, 148 occur in groups. 122 out of the grouped mitoses are in “pairs”. That means that 78% of the grouped and 64% of all mitoses were to be found in pairs. By the method of labeled mitoses (Quastler and Sherman, 1959) and by the method of double labeling with C-14- and H-3-thymidine (Hilscher and Maurer, 1962) the duration of the S-phase of II-gonocytes were determined in 5 days old rats. The results of both methods show that the S-phase is 11.0 to 11.5 hours.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Ce travail étudie les effets d'une carence en sodium sur le squelette chez le Rat en croissance. Il a été effectué sur 3 groupes de Rats: groupe carencé, groupe témoin sous-nutri et groupe témoin normal. L'étude macroradiographique et microradiographique des tibias révèle que la carence en sodium provoque en 8 semaines une diminution de la longueur, un amincissement de l'espace métaphyso-épiphysaire et l'apparition d'une ostéopénie. Cette ostéopénie prédomine sur la métaphyse par rapport à la diaphyse. Au niveau de celle-ci, le rapport cortico-diaphysaire est diminué. Ce changement est essentiellement dû à l'amincissement de l'os cortical par sa face périphérique. Le marquage par la tétracycline confirme cette atteinte prédominante de l'apposition périostée. L'étude histologique et l'étude autoradiographique suggèrent que cette ostéopénie résulte d'un important ralentissement de l'ostéogénèse et de l'activité globale du tissu osseux. L'analyse chimique révèle des changements minimes de la composition des fémurs. La teneur en cendres est légèrement abaissée. La rapport Ca/P est légèrement augmenté. Les rapports Ca/N et P/N sont diminués. Le rapport Na/Ca est augmenté. Les mécanismes possibles de cette atteinte squelettique sont envisagés: sous-nutrition, effet acidifiant du régime, trouble de l'absorption intestinale du calcium, retentissement surrénal et conséquences cellulaires de la carence en sodium. En conclusion, dans le déterminisme de l'atteinte osseuse semblent devoir être retenus: a) l'inanition dûe à l'anorexie provoquée par le régime désodé, b) und effet squelettique propre de la carence en sodium, le trouble de l'absorption intestinale du calcium ne paraissant pas jouer un rôle déclenchant.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit wurde der Einfluß eines Natriummangels auf das Skelet der noch wachsenden Ratte beobachtet. Die Studie betrifft drei Gruppen von Ratten: eine mit Natriummangel, eine normal ernährte und eine unterernährte Kontrollgruppe. Die makro- und mikroradiographische Untersuchung der Tibiae nach 8wöchigem Natriummangel zeigt eine Verkürzung, eine Verringerung des metaphyso-epiphysären Intervalls und eine Osteopenie, die in der Metaphyse merkbarer als in der Diaphyse ist. Das corticodiaphysische Verhältnis ist herabgesetzt, und zwar verjüngt sich der Knochencortex peripherisch. Mit markiertem Tetracyclin wird bewiesen, daß vorwiegend die periphere Knochenbildung betroffen ist. Die histologische und autoradiographische Untersuchung erlaubt die Annahme, daß diese Osteopenie auf stark verlangsamte Knochenbildung und gesamte metabolische Tätigkeit des Knochengewebes zurückzuführen ist. Die chemische Analyse weist unerhebliche Änderungen der Zusammensetzung der Femora auf. Der Aschengehalt ist leicht vermindert. In den Epiphysen ist Ca/P leicht erhöht. Ca/N und P/N sind herabgesetzt. Na/Ca ist wenig verändert. Die möglichen Mechanismen dieser Skeletveränderungen werden erörtert: Unterernährung, diätbedingte Säurebildung, Störung der intestinalen Calciumabsorption, Nebennieren-beeinflussung und Zellstoffwechselveränderungen durch Natriummangel. Zusammenfassend scheint hauptsächlich die Unterernährung eine Rolle zu spielen. Dazu kommen die direkten Folgen des Natriummangels auf den intestinalen Zucker- und Aminosäurentransport.
    Notes: Abstract The effects of sodium deficiency on the skeleton were studied in growing rats assigned to 3 groups: sodium deficient group, pair-fed controls, normal controls. Macroradiographic and microradiographic examinations and measurements of the tibia demonstrated that sodium deficiency after 8 weeks resulted in shorter bones, thinner cartilage and osteopenia. This osteopenia was greater in metaphysis than in diaphysis. However the cortico-diaphyseal ratio decreased, resulting from cortical bone thinning by the periosteal side. Histologic and autoradiographic examinations suggested that this osteopenia resulted from a marked slowing down of osteogenesis and total bone turnover. The mineral composition of the femur was little changed. The ash rate, Ca/N and P/N ratios decreased slightly. The Ca/P ratio increased slightly. The Na/Ca ratio increased also. The following possible mechanisms of skeletal damage were considered: undernutrition, acidifying effect of diet, fall of calcium intestinal absorption, adrenal and cellular changes resulting from the sodium deficiency. In conclusion, the bone lesions appear to be caused by undernutrition and in addition by a skeletal effect specifically due to sodium deficiency.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des précipités de phosphate de calcium sont obtenus à partir de milieux aqueux dont certains contiennent du Mg2+ et du F−. Les premiers solides éliminés du mélange apparaissent amorphes en diffraction électronique, lorsque Mg2+ et F− ne sont pas présents. Un vieillissement de 24 heures du surnageant induit un changement de morphologie et de diffraction au microscope électronique. Le solide final est constitué, par de l'hydroxyapatite cristallin. En présence de F−, le précipité initial est constitué par une phase cristalline. Inversement, la présence de Mg2+ dans le système retarde de façon marquée la transformation de la phase amorphe en phase cristalline. Lorsque le Mg at le F sont présents simultanément, la phase initiale est amorphe, mais la transformation se fait beaucoup plus rapidement que dans des systèmes avec Mg seul. L'étude des solides, à fort grossissement au microscope électronique, suggère que les structures sphéroïdes de la phase amorphe peuvent jourer un rôle dans la transformation par alignement «en chaine», caractérisant morphologiquement la phase cristalline.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Calciumphosphatfällungen wurden aus wässerigen Lösungen gewonnen, von welchen einige Mg2+ und F− enthielten. Wenn Mg2+ und F− nicht anwesend waren, erwiesen sich anfänglich feste Bestandteile, welche als Klumpen entfernt wurden, als amorph in der Elektronendiffraktion. Nach 24stündigem Stehen des Überstandes konnte im Elektronenmikroskop eine Veränderung der Morphologie und des Diffraktionsmusters beobachtet werden. Die verbleibenden festen Bestandteile waren kristallines Hydroxyapatit. Bei Anwesenheit von F− war der anfängliche Niederschlag kristallin. Bei Vorliegen von Mg2+ im System wurde hingegen die Umwandlung der amorphen in die kristalline Phase stark verzögert. Wenn Mg2+ und F− anwesend waren, war die Anfangsphase amorph, jedoch erfolgte die Umwandlung viel rascher als in Systemen, welche nur Mg enthielten. Die Untersuchung der festen Bestandteile bei starker Vergrößerung im Elektronenmikroskop läßt vermuten, daß die sphäroidischen Formen der amorphen Phase in der Umwandlung eine Rolle spielen könnten, indem sie sich kettenartig aneinanderreihen; dies scheint eine morphologische Eigenschaft der kristallinen Phase zu sein.
    Notes: Abstract Precipitates of calcium phosphate were obtained from aqueous media, some of which contained Mg2+ and F−. Initial solids removed as a slurry were shown by electron diffraction to be amorphous when Mg2+ and F− were not present. Subsequent ageing for 24 h in the supernatant induced a change in morphology and diffraction pattern as observed with the electron microscope. The final solid was crystalline hydroxyapatite. In the presence of F− the initial precipitate was crystalline phase. Conversely, the presence of Mg2+ in the system markedly delayed the transformation from the amorphous to the crystalline phase. When both Mg and F were present the initial phase was amorphous but transformation occurred much more rapidly than in systems with Mg alone. Examination of the solids at high magnification in the electron microscope suggested that the spheroidal structures of the amorphous phase may play a role in the transformation by aligning in a chain-like manner, which appeared to be a morphological feature of the crystalline phase.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le taux de formation osseuse d'un chien adulte a été déterminé en divers endroits, en utilisant deux marqueurs à la tétracycline. Les valeurs obtenues ont été comparées avec des mesures similaires de dépôts calciques, obtenues par45Ca. Les mesures du ≪marquage diffus≫ de45Ca ont également été réalisées en utilisant l'autoradiographie quantitative. Les résultats ont été comparés avec les études similaires de Leeet coll. (J. Bone Joint Surg.47B, 157, 1965), effectuées à l'aide d'un chien nouveau-né et d'un chien adolescent. Il apparait ainsi que les études au45Ca permettent de mesurer la formation osseuse chez les chiens d'âges différents. Cependant, il est probable que le ≪marquage diffus≫ de calcium marqué chez l'Homme rend difficile la mesure du dépôt de calcium.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Geschwindigkeit der Knochenbildung bei einem ausgewachsenen Hund wurde mittels 2 Tetracyclinmarkierungen an verschiedenen Stellen des Knochens gemessen. Durch Messungen der Calciumzuwachsrate mittels45Ca-Tracer konnten die Werte beider Methoden verglichen werden. Die „diffuse Markierung” von45Ca wurde anhand von quantitativer Autoradiographie ebenfalls gemessen. Die Resultate wurden mit denjenigen ähnlicher Studien ausgewachsener Hund verwendet wurden. Es wird daraus geschlossen, daß die Knochenbildungsgeschwindigkeit von Hunden aller Altersstufen anhand von45Ca-Tracer-Studien gemessen werden kann. Es ist jedoch wahrscheinlich, daß die „diffuse Makierung” mit Tracer-Calcium beim Menschen zu einer schwierigen Interpretation der Messung der Calciumzuwachsrate führt.
    Notes: Abstract The bone formation rate of an adult dog has been found at several bone sites using two tetracycline markers. The values found have been compared with similar measurements of calcium accretion rate using45Ca as a tracer. Measurements of the “diffuse label” of45Ca were also made using quantitative autoradiography. The results have been compared with similar studies by Leeet al. (J. Bone Joint Surg.47 B, 157, 1965) using a puppy and an adolescent dog. It is concluded that45Ca tracer studies can measure the bone formation rate of dogs at any age. However, it is probable that the “diffuse label” uptake of tracer calcium in humans makes the calcium accretion rate measurement difficult to interpret.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les dépôts simultanés en calcium, phosphate et fluorure et le taux de formation en ion hydrogène, pendant la minéralisation, de surfaces d'émail, attaquées par des acides, sont mesurés du point de vue cinétique dans un système fermé. Le taux de dépôt en calcium et phosphate, à partir de la solution, dépend des concentrations en fluorure et du pH. Les proportions de calcium par rapport au phosphate et de calcium par rapport au fluor suggère la formation de fluoroapatite ou de fluorohydroxyleapatite sur l'émail. L'adjonction d'ions hydroxyles pour maintenir un pH constant au moment du dépôt minéral, dépasse les ions phosphates totaux qui se déposent. Ce fait semble indiquer la possibilité d'une hydrolyse de phosphate acide pendant le dépôt minéral.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung In einem geschlossenen System wurden die gleichzeitigen Ablagerungen von Calcium, Phosphat und Fluorid sowie die Geschwindigkeit der Wasserstoffionenproduktion während der Mineralbildung an säureverätzten Zahnschmelz-Oberflächen kinetisch gemessen. Die Ablagerungsgeschwindigkeiten von Calcium und Phosphat aus der Lösung hingen von den Fluoridkonzentrationen und dem pH ab. Das Verhältnis von Calcium zu Phosphat und von Calcium zu Fluorid zeigte die Bildung von Fluorapatit oder Fluorhydroxyapatit auf dem Zahnschmelz an. Die Hydroxylionenzugaben, welche nötig waren, um das pH während der Mineralablagerung konstant zu halten, überschritten die totalen, aus der Lösung ausgeschiedenen Phosphationen. Dies weist auf die Möglichkeit hin, daß während der Mineralablagerung eine saure Phosphat-Hydrolyse stattfindet.
    Notes: Abstract Concurrent calcium, phosphate and fluoride depositions, and the rate of hydrogen ion production, during formation on acid etched enamel surfaces were kinetically measured in a closed system. The deposition rate of calcium and phosphate from solution was dependent on the fluoride concentrations and pH. The proportions of calcium to phosphate and calcium to fluoride indicated fluorapatite or fluorhydroxyapatite formation on the enamel. The hydroxyl ion additions to maintain constant pH, concurrent with mineral deposition, exceeded the total phosphate ions deposited from solution. This indicates the possibility that acid phosphate hydrolysis occurs during mineral deposition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La localisation cellulaire du calcium de la muqueuse de l'oviducte d'oiseaux a été étudiée par autoradiographie au45Ca, à partir de tissus préparés soit par incubation dans le45Ca, soit par injection intraveneuse du45Ca. La congélation — substitution est utilisée pour retenir le calcium aisément diffusible dans le tissu. L'épithelium cylindrique de la glande de la coquille s'enrichit significativement plus en45Cain vitro, en fonction de l'augmentation du temps d'incubation, de une à dix minutes et/ou en élevant la température de 0° à 42°. Ces effets sont diminués par l'adjonction de dinitrophenol au milieu d'incubation. Les glandes tubulaires de ce tissu réagissent à peine. Généralement, après injection intravenieuse de45Ca, la glande de la coquille retient plus de radionuclide que les autres régions de l'oviducte. Lorsqu'une coquille d'œuf est en voie de calcification, l'épithelium cylindrique de cette glande contient plus de grains que les glandes tubulaires, mais, en cas d'absence de formation d'œuf, le nombre de grains est identique dans les 2 types cellulaires. Il semble que l'épithélium cylindrique de la glande de la coquille a une affinité plus grande et plus variable pour le45Ca que la glande de la coquille les glandes tutulaires ou les cellules muqueuses d'autres régions de l'oviducte. Ces résultats indiquent sans le prouver, que l'épithélium cylindrique est plus actif dans le transfert du calcium des vaisseaux sanguins vers la lumière de la glande de la coquille.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die celluläre Verteilung von Calcium in der Eileitermucosa von Hühnern wurde anhand von45Ca-Autoradiographien in Gewebe studiert, welches entweder durch Inkubation mit45Ca oder durch intravenöse Injektion von45Ca präpariert wurde. Gefriersubstitution wurde verwendet, um leicht diffundierbares Calcium im Gewebe zurückzuhalten.In vitro nahm das Cylinderepithel der Schalendrüse auffallend mehr45Ca auf, wenn die Inkubationszeit von einer auf zehn Minuten verlängert wurde und/oder wenn die Temperatur von 0° auf 42° erhöht wurde. Diese Wirkungen wurden durch die Zugabe von Dinitrophenol zum Inkubations-medium vermindert. Die Tubulärdrüsen dieses Gewebes reagierten kaum. Im allgemeinen schlossen die Schalendrüsen nach intravenöser Injektion von45Ca mehr Radionuklid ein als andere Teile des Eileiters. Wenn eine Eierschale calcifizierte, zeigte das Cylinderepithel der Schalendrüse bei der Autoradiographie eine höhere Anzahl von Silberkörnern als die Tubulärdrüsen, aber wenn keine Schale gebildet wurde, war sie bei beiden Zelltypen ähnlich. Die Resultate zeigen, daß das Cylinderepithel der Schalendrüse, eine größere und unterschiedlichere Affinität für45Ca hat als Schalendrüse Tubulärdrüsen oder Schleimhautzellen aus anderen Gebieten des Eileiters. Die Befunde deuten darauf hin, aber beweisen es nicht, daß das Cylinderepithel beim Transport von Calcium aus den Blutgefäßen in die Schalendrüse das aktivste ist.
    Notes: Abstract The cellular location of calcium in the mucosa of the avian oviduct has been studied by45Ca autoradiography in tissue prepared either by incubation with45Ca or by intravenous injection of45Ca. Freeze-substitution was used to retain easily diffusible calcium in the tissue.In vitro, columnar epithelium of the shell gland acquired significantly more45Ca as the length of incubation time was increased from one to ten minutes and/or when the temperature was raised from 0° to 42°. These effects were diminished by the addition of dinitrophenol to the incubation medium. The tubular glands of this tissue responded minimally. Genrally, after intravenous injection of45Ca, the shell gland sequestered, more radionuclide than the other regions of the oviduct. When an egg shell was being calcified, the columnar epithelium of the shell gland revealed a higher grain count than the tubular glands, but when a shell was not forming, grain counts were similar over the two types of cells. The results show that the columnar epithelium of the shell gland has a greater and more variable affinity for45Ca than have the shell gland tubular glands or mucosal cells from other regions of the oviduct. The data suggest, but do not prove, that the columnar epithelium is the most active in translocation of calcium from the blood vessels to the lumen of the shell gland.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les facteurs intervenant au cours de la maturation postéruptive de l'émail dentaire, chez les rats Sprague-Dawley, ont été étudiés en utilisant le nitrate d'argent pour la mise en évidence des régions hypominéralisées des molaires. L'hypominéralisation, déterminée par coloration, peut se produire par déminéralisation, défaut de minéralisation ou les deux, à la fois. La maturation résulte de l'accumulation totale de calcium et de phosphate au niveau de l'émail dentaire ayant effectué son éruption. Un inhibiteur de la croissance cristalline de l'hydroxyapatite, le disodium éthane-1-hydroxyle-1, 1-diphosphonate (EHDPTM)1, appliqué localement au niveau de molaires de rats, venant de faire leur éruption, diminue la maturation post-éruptive des molaires. D'autre part, le fluor (connu comme stimulant de la croissance cristalline de l'hydroxyleapatite et inhibiteur de la déminéralisation), appliqué simultanément avec l'EHDP, aboutit à une maturation postéruptive des molaires, identique à celle des rats témoins. Un dentifrice, contenant 3% d'EHDP et 0,1% de fluor, réduit la fréquence des caries chez le rat, de façon significative. Le traitement fluoré, appliqué isolément, augmente l'intesité de la maturation post-éruptive. Dans une autre expérience, où le rapport molaire de l'EHDP et du fluor est diminué de 16 à 0,5, à une concentration constante d'EHDP, on note une augmentation significative du degré de maturation postéruptive de l'émail dentaire. Il semble donc que, bien que l'EHDP puisse inhiber la maturation de l'émail de rat, le fluor administré simultanément peut inhiber cet effet. L'hypothèse que la maturation post-éruptive de l'émail dentaire soit contrôlée par deux processus opposés, la minéralisation et la déminéralisation, parait se vérifier. Ces processus peuvent étre inhibés isolément ou simultanément.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Faktoren, welche die post-eruptive Reifungsrate von Zahnschmelz bei Sprague-Dawley-Ratten beeinflussen, wurden studiert. Die hypomineralisierten Stellen in den Backenzähnen wurden mittels Silbernitratfärbung dargestellt. Die durch Färbung gemessene Hypomineralisation kann durch Demineralisation, durch Mangel an Mineralisation oder durch beides entstehen. Die Reifung ist das effektive Ergebnis der totalen Akkumulation von Calcium und Phosphat im Schmelz des durchgebrochenen Zahnes. Es wurde festgestellt, daß ein Hemmkörper des Hydroxyapatitkristall-Wachstums, nämlich Disodium Ethan-1-hydroxy-1,1-Diphosphonat (EHDPTM)1, bei lokaler Anwendung an frisch durchgestossenen Rattenmolaren deren post-eruptive Reifungsrate herabsetzt. Andererseits bewirkte Fluorid (ein bekannter Stimulator von Hydroxyapatitkristall-Wachstum und ein Hemmkörper der Demineralisation), welches gleichzeitig mit EHDP verabreicht wurde, die Rückkehr der posteruptiven Reifungsrate der Molaren zur Norm. Eine Zahnpaste, welche 3% EHDP und 0,1% Fluorid enthielt, verminderte das Fortschreiten der Karies bei Ratten signifikant. Fluoridbehandlung allein erhöhte das Ausmaß der post-eruptiven Reifung. In einem separaten Ver-EHDP-Gehalt herabgesetzt wurde, konnte ebenfalls eine signifikante Erhöhung im Ausmaß der post-eruptiven Reifung von Zahnschmelz festgestellt werden. Aus den Ergebnissen dieser Untersuchung wird geschlossen, daß, obwohl EHDP die Reifung von Rattenzahnschmelz hemmen kann, diese Wirkung durch gleichzeitig angewandtes Fluorid verhindert wird. Die Befunde erhärten die Hypothese, daß post-eruptive Reifung von Zahnschmelz durch die Summe zweier bestimmter und entgegengesetzter Prozesse, durch Mineralisation und Demineralisation, beherrscht wird. Diese Prozesse können einzeln oder miteinander gehemmt werden.
    Notes: Abstract The factors affecting the rate of post-eruptive maturation of dental enamel in Sprague-Dawley rats have been studied, using silver nitrate stain to delineate the hypmineralized areas in molars. Hypomineralization, as measured by the stain, can arise through demineralization, lack of mineralization, or both. Maturation is the net result of the total accumulation of calcium and phosphate in the erupted dental enamel. It was found that the inhibitor of hydroxyapatite crystal growth, disodium ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate (EHDPTM)1, applied topically to the newly-erupted molars of rats, decreased the rate of post-eruptive maturation of molars. On the other hand, fluoride (a known stimulator of hydroxyapatite crystal growth and inhibitor of demineralization) applied simultaneously with EHDP restored the rate of post-eruptive maturation of the molars to that of a normal control rat. A dentifrice containing 3% EHDP and 0.1% fluoride significantly reduced the progress of caries in rate. Fluoride treatment alone increased the degree of post-eruptive maturation. Also, in a separate experiment, as the mole ration of EHDP to fluoride was decreased from 16 to 0.5 at constant EHDP level, there was a significant increase in the degree of post-eruptive maturation of dental enamel. It is concluded from the results of this study that although EHDP may inhibit the maturation of rat enamel, fluoride prevents this effect when applied simultaneously. The data support the hypothesis that post-eruptive maturation of dental enamel is governed by the sum of two distinct and opposing processes, mineralization and demineralization. The processes can be inhibited singly or together.

    Notes: Summary For the identification of the nerve fiber containing serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) in the frog median eminence, an electron microscopic autoradiography was performed with 5-hydroxytryptophane-3H which is the precursor of serotonin. At 1 and 24 hours after the intraperitoneal injection, most silver grains were located over the nerve fibers and endings, and a few were also found over the glia cell and the perivascular space. A large number of silver grains were located over the type 3 nerve endings (Nakai, 1971) containing small dense granules about 600–1000 Å in diameter 1 and 24 hours after the injection. Some silver grains were localized over the nerve endings containing intermediate-size dense granules 1100–1700 Å in diameter. Silver grains were also frequently observed over the nerve fibers in the inner layer of frog median eminence. There is no significant difference in the pattern of distribution of silver grains between tissues of 1 hour and 24 hours after the injection.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé 1. Nous avons étudié les synthèses d'ARN pendant la régénération de jeunes Planaires à l'éclosion. Elles régénèrent dans l'eau ou dans l'actinomycine D à 50 μg/ml. Les synthèses sont décelées par l'incorporation d'uridine tritiée examinée en autoradiographie histologique et ultrastructurale. Des synthèses de protéines sont évaluées par incorporation de leucine tritiée. 2. La décapitation peu après éclosion entraîne, comme pour les adultes, un accroissement de la synthèse d'ARN. Celui-ci n'apparaît pas lorsque les animaux sont traités par l'actinomycine, et cependant, les jeunes commencent à régénérer. Le retour dans l'eau permet la reprise de l'incorporation chez les jeunes Planaires. Ce pouvoir de récupération varie suivant les individus. 3. L'actinomycine D n'a pas d'effet sur l'accroissement des synthèses de protéines chez les jeunes Planaires en régénération. 4. Le microscope électronique montre que l'incorporation d'uridine est inhibée par l'actinomycine dans toutes les catégories de cellules, quel que soit le degré d'altération cellulaire. La récupération du pouvoir d'incorporation de l'uridine qui se manifeste après le retour dans l'eau des jeunes décapités dépend de l'état d'altération primitif des structures. Les cellules aux nucléoles non dissociés, c'est le cas pour la majorité des cellules morphologiquement indifférenciées, retrouvent une structure normale et incorporent à nouveau activement l'uridine tritiée. Dans les cellules aux nucléoles dissociés qui sont surtout des cellules différenciées, il n'y a pas de reprise de l'incorporation d'uridine.
    Notes: Summary 1. We have studied RNA synthesis during regeneration of young hatched Planariang, Polycelis nigra. They regenerate in tap water or in actinomycin D 50 μg/ml. RNA synthesis is tested by histologic and ultrastructural examinations of radioactivity in tissues and cells incubated in tritiated uridine. Protein syntheses are tested after incorporation of tritiated leucine. 2. If decapitated a few days after hatching, young Planarians are characterized, as adults, by an increasing synthesis of RNA. This synthesis fails to increase if animals are incubated in actinomycin during a lapse of time of 24, 48 and 96 hours after cutting. However, the ability of young animals to regenerate is not impaired. If the young animals come back into water after 48 hours of inhibition in actinomycin, incorporation of uridine can start again, with some variations according to the importance of the blastema at the end of incubation in actinomycin. 3. Actinomycin D has no effect on the increase of protein synthesis in regenerating young animals. 4. Electron microscopy shows that uridine incorporation is inhibited by actinomycin D in every cellular category at any degree of alteration. Recovery, which appears after the return of the decapitated Planarians into the water, depends on the degree of cytological alterations. The cells with non dissociated nucleoli, that is the majority of the morphologically undifferentiated cells, assume again normal structures and can incorporate actively anew tritiated uridine. Cells the nucleoli of which are dissociated, mainly differentiated cells, do not resume uridine incorporation. We suppose, in conclusion, that in young growing Planarians cells, a mechanism exists which provides information for regeneration and cellular differentiation.

    Notes: Summary The uptake of the diamine 3H-putrescine by Tetrahymena pyriformis GL was studied in cultures which were synchronized by heat shocks. An inverse correlation was found between the uptake of putrescine and the acid stability of DNA, but there was also a parallelism between putrescine uptake and the intracellular amount of putrescine. There was no evidence for a transformation of the labeled putrescine to other amino compounds within the cells. Electronmicroscopical autoradiography showed a structure-bound radioactivity localized to nuclear and mitochondrial structures. In the nucleus, both the chromatin and the nucleoli showed labeling.

    Notes: Summary The changes occurring in rat adrenocortical cells (zona fasciculata) during an 8 day period of treatment with ACTH, were investigated by morphometric and autoradiographic methods. The most important ultrastructural change consists in a conspicuous increase in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, that accounts for about 50% of the total increase of cellular volume. Also the mitochondrial fraction shows a significant increase, which is found to be due both to the increment in the number of mitochondria per cell and to the increase in the mean volume of organelles themselves. The quantitative autoradiographic data, indicating an increment in the incorporation of 3H-orotate and 3H-leucine into adrenocortical cells of the treated animals, allow us to conclude that the ACTH-induced ultrastructural changes are the morphological expression of a stimulation of the cellular protein synthesis. Since mitochondria are largely autonomous in the synthesis of their enzymes and structural proteins, it is possible to hypothesize that ACTH also intervenes in the regulation of the mitochondrial protein synthesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Frühwirkung von Thyroxin auf den RNS-Stoffwechsel in verschiedenen Geweben von Xenopus-Larven wurde autoradiographisch mit Uridin-3H untersucht. Bereits nach 4 h wird in Anwesenheit von Thyroxin (T4) eine Stimulation der nukleären RNS-Synthese festgestellt. Dabei sind das Ausmaß und der zeitliche Verlauf je nach Gewebe verschieden. Die RNS-Synthese wird nach einer T4-Vorbehandlung von 24 h am stärksten stimuliert. Während 72 h Hormon-Behandlung kann kein Transport markierter RNS vom Zellkern ins Cytoplasma festgestellt werden. Aetinomycin D hemmt die T4-induzierte RNS-Synthese bereits nach 4 h. Die stärkste Hemmung tritt nach 24stündiger Vorbehandlung auf. Puromycin hemmt die RNS-Synthese nur, wenn das Antibiotikum 24 h vor dem Hormon appliziert wird. Angesichts der starken Hemmung der RNS-Synthese durch Aetinomycin D wird angenommen, daß die T4-induzierten Veränderungen während der Metamorphose nicht nur durch Transkription spezifischer mRNS-Arten bedingt sind, sondern auch von der Bildung anderer RNS-Typen abhängen.
    Notes: Summary The early effects of thyroxine on RNA-metabolism in various tissues of Xenopus-larvae have been investigated by autoradiography using uridine-3H as precursor. In the presence of thyroxine (T4) a stimulation of nuclear RNA-synthesis is detected already 4 h after the onset of hormone administration. There are tissue-specific differences in the extent and the time course of response. T4 most effectively stimulates RNA-synthesis after 24 h of pretreatment. During 72 h of hormone treatment there is no detectable shift of labeled nuclear RNA into the cytoplasm. Actinomycin D inhibits T4-induced RNA-synthesis already after 4 h, but is most effective after 24 h of pretreatment. Puromycin inhibits RNA-synthesis to a minor extent, but only if exposure to the antibiotic precedes hormone administration. In view of the extent of inhibition of RNA-synthesis by actinomycin D, it is concluded that T4-induced metamorphic responses not only involves transcription of specific mRNA's, but must also depend upon formation of other types of RNA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um die Abhängigkeit der erythropoietischen Zellformen von ihrer Stellung im Generationszyklus (G1, S und G2) zu untersuchen, wurde das Knochenmark von vier Normalpersonen mit der Kombination von zytophotometrischer DNS-Bestimmung (Feulgen-Photometrie) und autoradiographischer Technik mit 3H-TdR (in vitro) untersucht. Die Zellen wurden vor dieser Untersuchung in den nach Pappenheim gefärbten Ausstrichen differenziert. Sowohl in der Gruppe der basophilen Erythroblasten (E1-E3) als auch bei den polychromatischen Normoblasten (E4) wurde eine postmitotische (G1) und eine prämitotische Ruhephase (G2) nachgewiesen. Beide Zellgruppen waren zu ca. 65% mit3H-TdR markiert (S). Unter den basophilen Erythroblasten war bei E1 eine G2-Phase, jedoch keine G1-Phase nachweisbar. Demgegenüber fand sich bei E3 eine ausgeprägte G1-Phase, hingegen keine G2-Phase. Bei E2 war sowohl eine G1-Phase als auch eine G2-Phase erkennbar. Nach diesen Befunden stellen die Erythroblasten E1-E3 keine Zellgruppen mit jeweils vollständigem Generationszyklus dar, sondern sind als ein Zellkompartment zu verstehen, in dem die G1-Phase vorwiegend durch die kleineren Zellen, die zytologisch die Merkmale der basophilen Normoblasten besitzen, und die G2-Phase vorwiegend durch die größeren Zellen vom Typ der Proerythroblasten und Makroblasten repräsentiert wird.
    Notes: Summary In the different types of normal human nucleated red cells the stages of the cell cycle (G1, S and G2) were investigated by combined application of the cytophotometric determination of the DNA content (Feulgen photometry) and of autoradiographic labelling using 3H-TdR in vitro. The individual cells were identified in Pappenheim stain. In the basophilic erythroblasts (E1-E3) as well as in the polychromatic erythroblasts (E4) about 62–65% of the cells were labelled (S). The unlabelled cells partly were diploid and partly were tetraploid, representing G1 and G2. The oxyphilic erythroblasts (E5) mostly were diploid and unlabelled (G1). Within the basophilic erythroblasts G1 was demonstrated mainly in E3, and G2 was demonstrated mainly in E1. In E2, G1 as well as G2 were present. The results indicate that all basophilic erythroblasts belong to one cell compartment, in which G1 is represented by the smaller cells commonly subclassified as basophilic normoblasts and G2 is represented by the large cells usually called proerythroblasts and macroblasts.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An 12 männlichen weißen Wistarratten unterschiedlichen Alters wurde autoradiographisch die Proliferation des Samenblasenepithels zur Zeit der Pubertät geprüft. Die Tiere waren 21, 29, 40, 50, 60 und 180 Tage alt und erhielten 1 Std vor der Tötung durch Dekapitation 2,5 μC 3H-Thymidin/g Körpergewicht i. p. appliziert. Ausgewertet wurden Autoradiogramme nach einer Expositionszeit von 18 Tagen; bestimmt wurde der Prozentsatz der markierten Zellkerne (3H-Index). Im Gegensatz zu dem bekannten exponentiellen Abfall des 3H-Indexes bei nicht-hormonabhängigen Leberepithelien jugendlicher Ratten kommt es beim Epithel der Samenblasen um den 40. Lebenstag zu einem erneuten, starken Proliferationsschub. Diese starke Wachstumszunahme ist wahrscheinlich der proliferationskinetische Ausdruck der nach Steinberger (1970) zur gleichen Zeit stattfindenden hormonellen Umschaltung in den Testes. Anschließend geht das Vermehrungswachstum des jugendlichen Tieres, durch das die Zellzahl erhöht wird, in das Erhaltungswachstum über; der 3H-Index des Samenblasenepithels erreicht den Wert des erwachsenen Tieres.
    Notes: Summary In 12 male white rats (Wistar) the proliferative activity of the epithelial cells in the seminal vesicles was studied by autoradiography. The animals were 21, 29, 40, 50, 60 and 180 days old. Each animal was given 2.5 μC/g 3H-thymidine and was killed 1 hour thereafter. We analysed the autoradiograms recording the percentage of labelled nuclei (3H-index). While the 3H-index of the non hormone-dependent epithelial cells in the liver of young rats declines continously with growing age (Stocker et al., 1964), the epithelial cells in the seminal vesicles of 40 days old rats show a remarkable rise in their proliferative activity. It is quite possible that this new peak in the proliferation is the morphological result of a preceeding switch in hormonal production of the testes as reported by Steinberger (1970). Thereafter the growth proliferation of the young rats declines into the steady state of the grown up.

    Notes: Summary The influence of a long daily photoperiod and continuous darkness was studied on the hypothalamo-hypophysial system of Rana temporaria. After six weeks of treatment (December-January 1968/1969) the secretory activity of the hypothalamo-hypophysial system of the light-treated animals was enhanced. The amount of aldehyde-fuchsin positive material in the preoptic nucleus increased as a result of the light treatment, and decreased in the median eminence, whereas in the posterior lobe no difference could be observed between the light- and dark-treated animals. The karyometric results showed an increase of the nuclear volume of the cells of the preoptic nucleus after light treatment; small differences were noticed between distinct areas of the preoptic nucleus. Autoradiographic data especially showed that light influenced the hypothalamo-hypophysial system to a high degree. Half an hour after the injection of 35S-cysteine, the incorporation of the isotope in the preoptic nucleus of the light-treated animals was five times as much as in the dark-treated animals. In the median eminence and in the posterior lobe, the autoradiographic results confirmed the results found with regard to the amount of aldehyde-fuchsin positive material. Labelled material is released only from the median eminence and not from the posterior lobe.

    Notes: Summary In autoradiographies of substantia nigra in rat, it has been observed that after intraventricular injections of 3H-dopamine and 3H-norepinephrine respectively the silvergrains are accumulated in nigra neurons and their dendritic branches. The incorporation was more pronounced in the case of 3H-norepinephrine than 3H-dopamine. This seems to indicate that exogenous norepinephrine may have stronger affinity to nigra neurons and their dendrites than exogenous dopamine. In addition, some 3H-dopamine and 3H-norepinephrine labelled nerve terminals were observed in axo-dendritic synapses. In contrast to these data, 3H-5HTP and 3H-5HT administration showed almost all silver grains accumulated in the neuropil when observed in light microscopic autoradiography. Electron micrographs further reveal that the incorporation of 3H-5HTP and 3H-5HT was mostly within axo-dendritic boutons with more frequent dense core vesicles. These data again strongly suggest that substantia nigra receives a large number of serotoninergic fibres forming axo-dendritic synapses which may play an important role in modulation of substantia nigra function.

    Notes: Summary The incorporation of 3H-thymidine and 3H-uridine into adrenocortical cells of intact and ACTH-treated rats was investigated by high-resolution autoradiography. The quantitative analysis of autoradiographs shows no effect of ACTH on the incorporation of 3H-thymidine, at least in our experimental conditions. On the contrary, ACTH was found to enhance the incorporation of 3H-uridine into both adrenocortical nuclei and mitochondria. These findings are discussed in relation to numerous biochemical and morphological data, indicating that ACTH stimulates the synthesis of enzymes and structural proteins of adrenocortical cells. It is suggested that the mechanism of action of ACTH on adrenal cortex, consists in an integrated stimulation of both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA-dependent RNA synthesis.

    Notes: Summary A large DNA containing body is found in oocytes of the house cricket, Acheta domesticus. Little or no RNA synthesis is associated with the DNA body during the leptotene, zygotene, and pachytene stages of meiotic prophase I. During the early diplotene stage of development, large masses of nucleolar material begin to accumulate at the periphery of the DNA body. The onset of RNA synthesis correlates with a change in the histochemically detectable histone proteins associated with the DNA body. In ovaries of animals injected with uridine-H3, most of the label accumulates in ribosomal RNA. Autoradiographic studies show that the cytoplasm of late diplotene stage cells accumulates uridine label to a greater extent than does the cytoplasm of early diplotene stage cells. Increased transport of nucleolar material through the nuclear envelope of late diplotene stage cells accounts for the increased cytoplasmic labeling.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons montré, à l'aide d'actinomycine tritiée, que cet inhibiteur pénètre en quantité égale dans les cellules de planaires adultes qui ne régéénèrent pas en présence de fortes concentrations (50 μg/cm3) et dans celles de jeunes planaires qui peuvent former un blastème en présence d'actinomycine D, malgré l'inhibition de nouvelles synthèses d'ARN qui en résulte. Chez les jeunes, le taux de pénétration de l'antibiotique est comparable dans les noyaux des cellules indifférenciées qui participent à la formation du blastème et dans les noyaux des cellules différenciées. Les noyaux à nucléoles dissociés ne sont pas plus radioactifs que les noyaux où le nucléole est seulement appauvri en granulations. La radioactivité diminue uniformément dans toutes les cellules si les animaux sont remis en élevage dans l'eau. La radioactivité cytoplasmique observée est probablement due à la nature des fixateurs qui favorisent la rétention de molécules non liées. Nous pouvons conclure que les noyaux de toutes les catégories cellulaires présentent la même perméabilité à l'actinomycine. Celle-ci est présente dans les cellules de régénération des jeunes qui édifient cependant un blastème où le taux de synthèse des protéines est au même niveau que dans une régénération normale.
    Notes: Summary 3H actinomycin inhibitor of RNA synthesis enters equally cells of adult planarians which never regenerate when applying the drug at high concentration (50 μg/cm3), and young planarians which can form a blastem in the same solution; regeneration occurs despite of the inhibition of new RNA synthesis which ensues. Ultrastructural histoautoradiographs of newly hatched Planarian tissues show that this drug enters equally nuclei of undifferentiated cells which make up the blastem of regeneration and whose nucleoli are not dissociated, and nuclei of differentiated cells whose nucleoli are very often dissociated. The radioactivity is very often located upon heterochromatin. After return of the animals into water, radioactivity becomes reduced evenly in all cells. The cytoplasmic radioactivity that we have observed probably depends on the nature of fixatives which favour the retention of non linked molecules. We can conclude that the nuclei of all cells have the same permeability to actinomycin D, whatever the state of morphological differentiation. The inhibitor is present within the regeneration cells of young Planarians which build a blastem wherein the rate of protein synthesis is at the same level as in normal regenerating tissues.

    Notes: Summary The distributions of 3H-putrescine and 3H-uridine were studied autoradiographically in cultured Xenopus laevis liver cells. Biochemical assay showed that at 4 h 10%, and at 24 h 30 % of the putrescine label was recovered as spermidine. Grain counts per unit surface area in light microscopic autoradiographs indicate that the 3H-polyamines show a similar intranuclear accumulation as 3H-uridine with a definite association with the nucleolus. The time course is different, however since 3H-polyamines continue to accumulate in the nucleus, while 3H-uridine reaches a peak nuclear concentration within 30 min and drops to one-half after 24 h. No instance of grains overlying mitotic figures was observed. These findings indicate an association of 3H-polyamines with nuclear and nucleolar RNA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le rapport entre le fluor et la calcification de l'aorte a été étudié chez le rat intact et au niveau d'une préparationin vitro de l'aorte thoracique, incubée dans du sérum. La vitamine D3 provoque une augmentation de dix fois la concentration en calcium et une augmentation de douze fois la concentration en phosphate de l'aorte. Le fluor n'a pas d'action sur le dépot du calcium, mais il freine l'augmentation du phosphore de l'aorte des animaux traités à la vitamine D3. Chez les rats témoins, le fluor n'affecte pas l'incorporation du calcium ou du phosphore. La concentration en fluor des aortes des rats, ne recevant que de l'huile de germe de blé par sonde gastrique, n'est pas modifiée par l'administration prolongée de 50 p.p.m. de F à l'eau potable. La vitamine D3 provoque une augmentation de neuf fois la concentration en fluor de l'aorte de rats recevant du fluor dans l'eau potable, lorsqu'on les compare à ceux soumis à la vitamine D3 et à l'eau distillée. Is apparait ainsi que l'exposition prolongée à de l'eau potable fluorée ne favorise pas un début de calcification aortique et n'induit pas de calcification par l'intermédiaire de la vitamine D3. La coloration de von Kossa démontre une calcification intense des aortes de rat recevant de la vitamine D3. Une absence totale de dépôts calciques est notée chez les rats recevant seulement de l'eau distillée. La coloration à la résorcine-fuchsine vert de méthyle, pour la mise en évidence de fibres élastiques, montre une destruction de ces dernières dans les régions de calcification chez les rats recevant la vitamine D3. Ces lésions des fibres élastiques ne sont pas visibles chez les rats ne recevant que du fluor.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Wir haben die Wirkung von Fluorid auf der Verkalkung der Aorta anhand folgender zwei Systeme untersucht: bei der Rattein vivo undin vitro an der Aorta thoracica, die in Serum inkubiert wurde. Durch Vitamin D3 wurde bei den Kontrollratten eine 10fache Erhöhung der Calcium-Konzentration und eine 12fache Zunahme des Phosphatgehaltes der Aorta verursacht; Fluorid beeinflußte diese Calcium-Ablagerung nicht, blockierte dagegen die Zunahme des Phosphors in der Aorta der mit Vitamin D3 behandelten Tiere. Bei den mit Maisöl behandelten Ratten beeinträchtigte Fluorid weder die Ablagerung von Calcium noch von Phosphor. Die Fluorid-Konzentration in den Aorten jener Ratten, die nur Maisöl durch die Magensonde erhielten, wurde selbst durch eine langfristige Einnahme von 50 ppm F enthaltendem Trinkwasser nicht beeinflußt. Die Aorten der mit Vitamin D3 behandelten Ratten, deren Trinkwasser Fluorid zugesetzt worden war zeigten im Vergleich zu den Vitamin D3-Ratten, die nur destilliertes Wasser erhielten, eine 9fache Zunahme der Fluoridkonzentration. Somit scheint es, daß Fluorid im Trinkwasser über lange Zeit eingenommen weder eine Verkalkung der Aorta auslöste, noch eine durch Vitamin D3 verursachte Verkalkung zu potenzieren vermochte. Mit der von Kossa-Färbung konnten ausgeprägte Aortenverkalkungen der mit Vitamin D3 behandelten Ratten nachgewiesen werden, wogegen keine pathologischen Kalkablagerungen bei jenen Ratten gefunden wurden, die nur destilliertes Wasser erhielten. Die für elastische Fasern spezifische Resorcin-Fuchsin-Methylgrün-Färbung zeigte Zerstörungen in den Verkalkungszonen bei den mit Vitamin D3 behandelten Ratten, welche aber bei den Tieren, die nur Fluorid erhielten, nicht vorhanden waren. Fluorid schien das histologische Bild der Aorten von Ratten mit Vitamin D3-Gaben nicht zu verändern. Imin vitro-Modell wurden Aortae thoracicae von Ratten während 24 Stdn in Rattenserum inkubiert, welches45Ca sowie 0,14, 0,56 und 1,12 ppm F enthielt. Alle drei Fluoridkonzentrationen hemmten die Aufnahme von45Ca in signifikanter Weise.
    Notes: Abstract The relation between fluoride and calcification of the aorta has been studied in two systems: the intact rat and anin vitro preparation of the thoracic aorta incubated in serum. Vitamin D3 produced a ten-fold increment in calcium concentration and a twelve-fold increase in phosphate levels of the dry aorta. Fluoride did not affect the deposition of calcium, but significantly blocked the increase in phosphorus in the aorta of the vitamin D3-treated animals. In control rats, fluoride did not affect the incorporation of either calcium or phosphorus. The concentration of fluoride in the aortas of rats receiving only corn oil by intubation was not affected by long term exposure to drinking water containing 50 ppm F. Vitamin D3 produced a nine-fold increase in fluoride concentration in the aorta of the rats receiving fluoride in the drinking water when compared to the vitamin D3 rats receiving distilled water. It appears that long-term exposure to fluoride in the drinking water neither initiates calcification in the aorta nor potentiates calcification induced by vitamin D3. Von Kossa stain showed pronounced calcification of the aortas in rats receiving vitamin D3 but none was seen in the rats receiving distilled water alone. Resorcin-fuchsin-methyl green stain for elastic fibers showed destruction in regions of calcification in rats receiving vitamin D3 but not in those receiving fluoride alone. Fluoride did not appear to alter the histological picture seen in the aortas of rats receiving vitamin D3. In thein vitro model, rat thoracic aortas were incubated for 24 hours in rat serum containing45Ca and 0.14, 0.56 and 1.12 ppm F. Fluoride at all levels significantly inhibited45Ca uptake.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei jugendlichen erwachsenen, weiblichen Ratten wurden der Markierungsindex und die Markierungsintensität kleiner Lymphozyten und größerer lymphoider Zellen im zirkulierenden Blut und in Lymphknoten während und nach langzeitig wiederholten Injektionen von Thymidin-3H verfolgt. Die radioaktive Vorläufersubstanz wurde in 8stündigen Intervallen über eine Zeitdauer von 30 Tagen intramuskulär verabreicht. Unter der Annahme, daß es bei diesem Verfahren zu keinen nennenswerten radiogenen, pharmakologischen oder hormonalen Störungen kam, erscheinen die nachstehenden Schluß folgerungen gerechtfertigt: 1. Während des ersten Tages der Injektionsperiode wurden im Mittel 18% (Maximum: 29%) unmarkierte kleine Lymphozyten durch markierte ersetzt. Die Markierungsindices dieser Zellart im Blut, als Funktion der Zeit nach Beginn der wiederholten Injektionen von Thymidin-3H, ergaben eine Kurve, die um den 8. Tag herum 50% und nach 30 Tagen 79% (Maximum: 85%) erreicht. 2. Die Resultate lassen sich am ehesten mit der Annahme in Einklang bringen, daß die Häufigkeitsverteilung der verschiedenen Werte für die G 0-Zeit (Erklärung im Text), bzw. Verweiloder Rezirkulationsdauer, der kleinen Lymphozyten im peripheren Blut eine kontinuierliche ist und einen Gipfel bei einem bis mehreren Tagen aufweist. 3. Die größeren lymphoiden Zellen im peripheren Blut wurden in ihrer überwiegenden Mehrzahl wesentlich rascher umgesetzt als die kleinen Lymphozyten. 4. Der Markierungsindex der kleinen Lymphozyten in Lymphknotenausstrichen entsprach am Ende der Injektionsperiode demjenigen im peripheren Blut. Am Ende der Injektionsperiode fanden sich in den äußeren Rindenschichten der Lymphknoten, wo der schwer mobilisierbare Pool von Lymphozyten liegt, mindestens ebenso viele unmarkierte kleine Lymphozyten wie im zirkulierenden Blut. 5. Die Blutmonozyten waren 4 Tage nach Beginn der wiederholten Injektionen von Thymidin-3H zu 100% markiert und behielten diesen Markierungsindex während der restlichen Injektionsperiode bei. Die Befunde werden im Zusammenhang mit Fragen des Proliferationsmodus und der Wanderungsmöglichkeiten der Lymphozyten sowie ungenügender autoradiographischer Wirksamkeit besprochen und mit den von anderen Autoren mitgeteilten Resultaten nach kontinuierlicher intravenöser Infusion von Thymidin-3H verglichen.
    Notes: Summary Young adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were given intramuscular injections of thymidine-3H at 8-hour intervals for a period of 30 days in order to follow the labeling indices and labeling intensities of small lymphocytes and of large lymphoid cells in the circulating blood and lymph nodes. Assuming that radiotoxic, pharmacological and/or hormonal effects were negligible, the following conclusions seem to be justified: 1. During the first day of the injection period the labeling index of small lymphocytes in the peripheral blood rose from zero to an average of 18% (maximum: 29%). Labeling indices of this cell type in the circulating blood, as a function of time after onset of the labeling procedure, followed a curve which reached 50% around day 8 and 79% at the 30 day terminal interval. 2. Results can best be explained by the hypothesis that the frequency distribution of the values for G 0 time or residence (recirculation) time of small lymphocytes in the circulating blood is a continuous one and shows a marked peak from one to a few days. 3. Large lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood were replaced much more rapidly than small lymphocytes. 4. The labeling index of small lymphocytes in lymph node smears at the end of the injection period corresponded to that of small blood lymphocytes. Autoradiographs of histological sections revealed that the outer zones of the lymph node cortex which contains preferentially the more sessile pool of lymphocytes, contained as high a percentage of unlabeled small lymphocytes as did the circulating blood. 5. Blood monocytes were labeled to 100% 4 days after beginning repeated injections of thymidine-3H and maintained this labeling index throughout the labeling period. These results are discussed in respect to the proliferative pattern and migrational behavior of lymphocytes and to the problem of autoradiographic inefficiency. Data are compared to those obtained with continuous intravenous infusion of thymidine-3H.

    Notes: Summary Dissociated cells from 9, 12 and 15 day-old chick embryo spinal ganglia were cultivated in presence of total embryo-extract, brain embryo extract, or total embryo extract supplemented with purified nerve growth factor (NGF). The cells were maintained during 4 days in Maximow assembly and during 1 month in Rose chamber. Neurons showed growth of nerve fibres. The non-neural cells evolved to spindle cells, Schwann cells, or fibroblasts. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis was followed with tritiated uridine by autoradiography. Some nerve cells showed tritiated uridine incorporation. The highest incorporations for short-term cultures were at 15 hours in presence of NGF, at 48 hours in presence of total or brain extract, and for long-term cultures at 8 days. These periods corresponded to the highest growing activity of the nerve fibres. After 4 days all the non-neural cells incorporated tritiated uridine. The tritiated uridine was first incorporated into the RNA of the nucleus and, afterwards was found also in the cytoplasm. The presence of brain extract or of NGF stimulates the incorporation of labelled uridine into RNA. No labelling was found in the nerve fibres, even after 4 hours incubation.

    Notes: Summary Autoradiography has been employed to investigate the site of origin of the adepithelial basement membrane, or basal lamina, of the skin of Fundulus heteroclitus. Both tritiated glucose and proline were used as radioactive precursors in organ culture. Glucose was progressively segregated and concentrated in two areas of the epithelium: (1) in the superficial layer of cells near the external surface, and (2) in the cortex of the basal layer near the basement membrane. After 12 hours the basement membrane was also labeled, and after 24 hours the epithelium, basement membrane (basal lamina), and basement lamella were all labeled. We have concluded that the label over the superficial layer of epithelium near the external surface of the fish represents glucose incorporation into mucous secretion products; and that label over the basal cell layer, basement membrane, and basement lamella represents synthesis by the epithelium of glucose-rich components, perhaps mucoproteins, of the basement membrane and of the ground substance of the basement lamella. Not all areas of the epithelium and underlying connective tissue incorporated glucose at the same time, and only after 24 hours were unlabeled areas of the skin eliminated. Proline incorporation was much less specific than that of glucose. Although the epidermis and dermis were heavily labeled, proline was incorporated in almost every tissue of the fish. The value of proline as a specific label for collagen is questioned.

The data obtained in these experiments allow us to make the following conclusions: 1 The most important morphological parameter for assessing the activity of a steroid-secreting cell is the quantity of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. 2 The decrement in the smooth reticulum in adrenocortical cells of rats treated with corticosterone is due to an inhibition of the protein synthesis by the hormones themselves. 3 There is in vivo a direct negative feed-back control mechanism at the adrenal level, mediated by an inhibition of the RNA synthesis by the corticosteroid-hormones. 4 The trophism of the mitochondrial fraction of adrenocortical cells is controlled by ACTH. It is possible to hypothesize that ACTH intervenes in the regulation of the mitochondrial RNA and DNA synthesis.

    Notes: Summary Cultures of embryonic mouse and rat spinal cord-dorsal root ganglion combinations, and of newborn hamster and rat cerebellum were treated with 5×10-6M I-125 thyroxine and I-125 triiodothyronine. Autoradiographic studies on glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide fixed tissue indicated that these hormones were located predominantly in neurons, but could be found in glia cells as well. This pattern was observed in cultures treated for 2 hours to 4 days. Some of the effects of thyroid hormones on the developing nervous system were therefore linked to a direct action of these hormones on nerve cells. Furthermore, the label was seen not only over the cytoplasm, as might be expected from past biochemical studies, but was also present over the nucleus, particularly the nucleolus. This suggested a possible role for these hormones in the process of translation.

    Notes: Summary The hypothalamus of male and female rats, given 0.3 μg/100 g body weight of 6.7-3H-oestradiol-17β and killed 1 hour after the injection, was examined by autoradiography in order to 1) localize the areas and the cells involved in the uptake of the hormone, and 2) study the intracellular localization of the labelled material. Only nerve cells contained radioactive material while glial and ependymal cells were not significantly labelled. In the anterior hypothalamus, labelled nerve cells were concentrated in areas corresponding to nucleus preopticus medialis and nucleus preopticus, pars suprachiasmatica. The nucleus supraopticus was unlabelled. In the medial basal hypothalamus, neurons corresponding to the nucleus arcuatus and the lateral part of the nucleus ventromedialis showed marked labelling. No significant labelling was observed in the nucleus paraventricularis, pars magnocellularis. Although the individual nerve cells varied in their extent of labelling, the major proportion of the silver grains were consistently concentrated over the nuclei. Castration was not found to influence the results. The findings were essentially the same in male and female rats and appear to suggest that oestradiol exerts a direct effect on nerve cells in certain hypothalamic areas.

    Notes: Summary The pituitaries of male and female rats given 0.3 μg of 6.7-3H-oestradiol-17β per 100 g body weight were examined by autoradiography in order to 1) identify the cells responsible for the uptake of the hormone, 2) determine the intracellular distribution of the hormone and quantify the proportions localized within the cytoplasm and nucleus by silver grain counting, and 3) see if sex differences existed in the cellular and intracellular distribution of the hormone. The animals were killed at intervals varying from 1 minute to 8 hours following intravenous or intramuscular injection. A large proportion of pituitary cells having the morphologic characteristics of acidophils, basophils and chromophobes contained radioactive material. Castration cells and acidophils of gonadectomized and lactating rats showed marked labelling. In male and female rats killed 10 minutes after intravenous injection, 84.4 and 83.6 per cent of the cells were labelled. One hour after intramuscular injection, 86.6 and 76.1 per cent of the cells were labelled in males and females, respectively. Thus, a small proportion of the cells remained unlabelled. Labelled cells showed silver grains both in the cytoplasm and over the cell nuclei, but the major proportion of the radioactive material was invariably associated with the cell nuclei in all cell types and at all time intervals. About 65 per cent of the radioactive material was associated with the cell nuclei in animals killed five minutes or one hour after intravenous or intramuscular injection of the hormone. The silver grains appeared to be randomly distributed in both the cytoplasm and over the cell nuclei. In the intermediate lobe and the neurohypophysis, only sparse labelling with random distribution was observed. At the border between the intermediate lobe and the neurohypophysis, labelling of single cells or clusters of cells similar to those in the adenohypophysis was found. The results, which were essentially the same in male and female rats, appear to indicate a direct effect of oestradiol at the pituitary level.

    Notes: Summary The duodenal and colonic epithelia in mice were observed with electron microscopic autoradiography 2, 5 and 24 hours after a single injection of 3H-thymidine. After 2 hours, in the duodenum, silver grains are found in many undifferentiated cells, in a few young goblet cells, in some crystal-containing cells, and in some lymphocytes. In the colon after 2 hours silver grains are seen in some undifferentiated cells, and in many young goblet cells. Undifferentiated cells are characterized by a few short microvilli, poorly developed rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, abundant free ribosomes, and a few apical moderately dense granules. In normal animals, absorptive cells seem to arise from undifferentiated cells, and goblet cells — from younger goblet cells. Undifferentiated cells could also become young goblet cells. Crystal-containing cells, which may not be of epithelial origin, proliferate in the epithelium in the adult animal.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'autoradiographie révèle, au niveau du pied, une incorporation massive et sélective de la 3H-Proline dans la ≪glande blanche≫ de Mytilus edulis. Cette étude a permis de suivre le processus qui mène de la synthèse de la sécrétion dans la partie basale des cellules jusqu'a son émission dans le sillon pédieux où elle participe à la formation du filament. La collagénase détruit la presque totalité du marquage, attestant ainsi la nature collagénique du produit sécrété. Les autres glandes pédieuses ainsi que la glande du byssus proprement dite, située à la base du pied, montrent une incorporation très faible, sans commune mesure avec celle de la ≪glande blanche≫. Ceci démontre de façon définitive que le collagène présent dans le filament prend naissance dans cette glande et justifie la dénomination de ≪glande du collagène≫. Des contrôles réalisés dans différentes régions (bords du manteau, manteau, branchies) montrent que l'injection du précurseur dans le bord palléal constitue une méthode satisfaisante pour marquer de façon relativement rapide et différentielle le collagène de la glande.
    Notes: Summary Autoradiographic studies reveal a strong specific incorporation of 3H-Proline in the “white gland” in the foot of Mytilus edulis. The author could trace the radioactive secretory product from its synthesis in the basal part of the cells down to its outflow into the pedial groove where it takes part in the formation of the filament. Purified collagenase takes out radioactivity from the sections. This observation confirms the collagenous nature of the secretion. The other foot-glands as well as the main “byssus gland” located at the base of the foot show but a very weak labelling not comparable with that of the “white gland”. This clearly evidences that the collagen occuring in the filament originates from the latter. The “white gland” may be properly called: “collagen gland”. Control sections through different parts of the body (mantle-edge, mantle, gills) confirm that our injection technique of the precursor into the palleal margin is a suitable method for a rather quick and specific labelling of the glandular collagen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des expériences ont été faites sur le rat afin de tester les possiblités d'ingestion perorale simultanée de fluor (F) et de calcium (Ca) en proportions calculées pour traitement de certaines ostéopénies humaines. F sous forme de Na2PO3F et Ca sous forme de gluconate de calcium (CaGluc) n'influençaient pas l'un l'autre quant à l'utilisation par le squelette (fémur). Une viscosité élevée, produite par l'addition d'amidon ou de cellulose carboxyméthylée (CMC) à la solution ou dilution ingérée, augmentait l'utilisation du F même si CaGluc était remplacé par citrate de calcium, qui en soi avait un effet réducteur modéré sur l'utilisation du F. Le glycérophosphate de calcium réduisait fortement l'utilisation du F même en présence de CMC. L'utilisation du F comme NaF était fortement réduite par CaGluc, même en présence de CMC. Les concentrations testées de Na2PO3F, NaF ou CMC n'influençaient pas l'utilisation squelettique de Ca comme CaGluc.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurden Rattenexperimente mit markierten Substanzen durchgeführt, um die Auswirkung simultaner peroraler Gaben von Fluor (F) und von Calcium (Ca) zu prüfen, und zwar in einem Verhältnis, das für die Behandlung gewisser menschlicher Osteopenien berechnet wurde. Fluor in Form von Na2PO3F und Ca in Form von Calciumgluconat (CaGluc) interferieren gegenseitig nicht bei der Verwertung durch das Skelet (Femur). Eine hohe Viscosität der eingegebenen Lösung oder der Aufschlämmung, die durch Zusatz von Stärke oder Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) erzielt wurde, erhöhte die Verwertbarkeit von F sogar wenn CaGluc durch Calciumcitrat ersetzt wurde, welches die F-Verwertung leicht reduzierte. Calcium-glyzerophosphat verminderte die Fluoraufnahme in den Knochen stark, sogar in Anwesenheit von CMC. Die Verwertung von F als NaF war stark herabgesetzt durch CaGluc, selbst beim Vorhandensein von CMC. Die untersuchten Konzentrationen von Na2PO3F, NaF oder CMC hatten keinen Einfluß auf die Calciumaufnahme im Skelet in Form von CaGluc.
    Notes: Abstract Rat experiments with labelled compounds were carried out in order to test the possibilities of simultaneous peroral supply of fluorine (F) and calcium (Ca) in proportions calculated for treatment of certain human osteopenias. F in the form of Na2PO3F and Ca in the form of calcium gluconate (CaGluc) did not interfere with each other's utilisation by the skeleton (femur). A high viscosity produced by adding starch or carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to the ingested solution or slurry increased the utilisation of F even when CaGluc was replaced by calcium citrate, which moderately reduced F utilisation. Calcium glycerophosphate strongly reduced F utilisation even in the presence of CMC. The utilisation of F as NaF was strongly reduced by CaGluc, even in the presence of CMC. The tested concentrations of Na2PO3F, NaF or CMC did not influence the skeletal utilisation of Ca as CaGluc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'action du Mg2+, du citrate3−, du F− et du SO 4 2− sur les45Ca2+ et32PO 4 3− avec la phase minérale osseuse (extraite de l'éthylènediamine) est déterminée dans des conditions physiologiques. Le Mg2+ se substitue au Ca2+ au niveau de la pellicule liquide adhérente (enveloppe d'hydratation), alors que le citrate3− déplace PO 4 3− , à la fois, de la pellicule liquide adhérente et de la surface cristalline. Ces éléments à affinité pour l'os augmente ainsi la solubilité apparente du minéral osseux. A l'inverse, le F− diminue netterment la concentration de Ca2+ et du PO 4 3− dans la solution environante et dans la pellicule liquide adhérente, en formant probablement une couche de liaison de CaF2 à la surface cristalline. Il y a une absorption nette de Ca2+ et PO 4 3− par la phase solide en présence de Mg2+ et F−, qui ne s'observe pas dans les solutions de citrate. Le SO 4 2− n'affecte pas de façon significative la solubilité, la dissolution ou la croissance du minéral osseux.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Mg2+, Citrat3−, F− und SO 4 2− auf den Austausch von45Ca2+ und32PO 4 3− mit dem Mineralanteil von Knochen (Ethylendiaminextraktion) wurde unter physiologischen Verhältnissen verfolgt. Mg2+ substituierte das Ca2+ des anhaftenden Flüssigkeitsfilms (Hydratationsschicht), während Citrat3− das PO 4 3− sowohl vom anhaftenden Flüssigkeitsfilm als auch von der Kristalloberfläche ersetzte. Diese vom Knochen angezogenen Elemente erhöhten demzufolge die scheinbare Löslichkeit des Knochenminerals. Dagegen reduzierte F− die Konzentration von Ca2+ und PO 4 3− wesentlich, sowohl in der umgebenden Lösung als auch im anhaftenden Flüssigkeitsfilm, vermutlich durch Bildung einer CaF2-bindenden Schicht auf der Oberfläche des Kristalls. In Gegenwart von Mg2+ und F− nahm diefeste Phase eindeutig Ca2+ und PO 4 3− auf, was bei Citrat3−-haltigen Lösungen nicht der Fall war. SO 4 2− veränderte weder die Löslichkeit noch die Auflösung oder das Wachstum des Knochenminerals significkant.
    Notes: Abstract The effect of Mg2+, citrate3−, F− and SO 4 2− on the exchange of45Ca2+ and32PO 4 3− with the mineral phase of bone (ethylenediamine-extracted) was determined under physiological conditions. Mg2+ substituted for Ca2+ at the adherent liquid film (hydration shell), while citrate3− displaced PO 4 3− from both the adherent liquid film and the crystal surface. These bone-seeking elements thus increased the apparent solubility of bone mineral. In contrast, F− markedly reduced the concentration of Ca2+ and PO 4 3− in both the ambient solution and the adherent liquid film, probably by inducing the formation of a CaF2 boundary layer at the crystal surface. There was a net uptake of Ca2+ and PO 4 3− by the solids phase in the presence of Mg2+ and F−, but not in citrate3− solutions. SO 4 2− did not significantly affect the solubility, dissolution, or growth of bone mineral.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Moyennant und systèmein vitro dont la composition liquide fut variée nous avons pu faire grandir ou dissoudre des cristaux osseux. Ces changements qui se manifestent par des changements de la biréfrigence extrinsique du tissu osseux, ont été suivis à l'aide du microscope polarisant et aussi du microscope électronique. De même l'entrée de45Ca dans les cristaux a été mesurée dans certains cas. Les cristaux osseux sont hétérogènes quant à leur solubilité. Le produit de solubilité du minéral osseux, exprimé par la relationp [Ca]+p[P], est de 6.51±0.07 (σ) mesuré par la microscopie polarisante à l'instant où les changements furent les plus petits. Ce chiffre s'accorde avec les résultats des autres chercheurs qui ont mesuré la solubilité de la poudre osseuse par des autres méthodes. La solubilité des cristaux dans notre système varie inversement avec les concentrations des ions hydroxyliques ou fluors, mais varie directement avec la concentration des ions citriques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Ein Systemin vitro ermöglichte es durch Veränderung der Zusammensetzung der umgebenden Lösung das Wachstum und die Auflösung von Knochenkristallen herbeizuführen. Die hervorgebrachten Veränderungen konnten dank der doppelbrechenden Eigenschaften des Knochengewebes mit dem Polarisationsmikroskop festgestellt werden. Diese Beobachtungen wurden durch Untersuchungen am Elektronenmikroskop und Bestimmungen der45Ca-Aufnahme gestützt. Die Knochenkristalle erwiesen sich als heterogen in bezug auf ihre Löslichkeit. Wenn die hervorgerufene Kristallveränderung im Polarisationsmikroskop minimal war, so entsprach das Gesamtlöslichkeitsprodukt des Knochenminerals, ausgedrückt als p[Ca]+p[P] 6,51±0,07 (S.D.). Diese Resultate bestätigten die Befunde anderer Forscher, welche die Knochenpulverlöslichkeit mittels konventioneller Methoden bestimmten. Die Löslichkeit der Kristalle bei diesem Systemin vitro variierte entgegengesetzt zur Hydroxyl- und Fluoridionenkonzentration, aber im gleichen Sinne wie die Citrationenkonzentration.
    Notes: Abstract Anin vitro system was used to induce growth and dissolution of bone crystals by manipulating the composition of their fluid environment. The induced changes could be detected with the polarizing microscope because of the extrinsic birefringence of the bone tissue. Supporting observations were made with the electron microscope and by determining45Ca uptake. The bone crystals were found to be heterogeneous with regard to their solubility. When induced crystal changes were minimal by polarization microscopy the overall solubility product of the bone mineral expressed asp [Ca]+p[P] was 6.51±0.07 (S.D.). This result corroborated the findings of other investigators who determined bone powder solubility by conventional methods. Solubility of the crystals in thein vitro system varied inversely with hydroxyl ion and fluoride ion concentration, but directly with citrate ion concentration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Männlichen weißen Mäusen wurde 30 Tage lang täglich einmal Metopiron intraperitoneal injiziert, um eine etwaige Wirkung der Steroidsynthese in der Nebennierenrinde auf hypothalamo-hypophysäre Systeme zu verfolgen. Die histologische und autoradiographische Untersuchung hatte folgende Ergebnisse: 1. Das supraoptico-neurohypophysäre und das tubero-infundibuläre System reagieren auf die experimentelle Störung der Hormonsynthese. 2. In allen Abschnitten des Tractus supraoptico-neurohypophyseus kommt es zu einer Verminderung Paraldehyd-Fuchsin-färbbaren Neurosekretes. Dieser Neurosekretabnahme entspricht ein unverminderter Einbau von Cysteinschwefel in die großzelligen Kerngebiete und ein beschleunigter Transport radioaktiver Substanzen durch die Zona interna infundibuli. Die Neurohypophyse gibt das am Schwefel markierte Produkt vorzeitig ab. 3. Im tubero-infundibulären System lassen sich keine Paraldehyd-Fuchsin-positiven Substanzen nachweisen, obwohl das Auftreten PAF-positiven Neurosekretes in der Zona externa infundibuli nach beiderseitiger Adrenalektomie erwiesen ist. Dagegen zeigt das Autoradiogramm des kleinzelligen Hypothalamus einen vermehrten Einbau des Cysteinschwefels im Bereich des Nucleus infundibularis und eine beschleunigte Abgabe markierten Materials an die Zone externa infundibuli. Gleichzeitig ist die Aufnahme der Schwefelaktivität in der Adenohypophyse gesteigert. 4. Es ergibt sich also eine unterschiedliche Wirkung von Metopiron und Adrenalektomie auf den Hypothalamus. Der Vergleich der färberischen mit der autoradiographischen Darstellung zeigt, daß die abgeschwächte Farbreaktion bei den Versuchstieren Ausdruck einer Aktivitätssteigerung im neurosekretorischen System ist. Es konnte nicht entschieden werden, ob die radioaktiv markierten Stoffe im tubero-infundibulären System in Nervenzellen des Nucleus infundibularis oder in Gliazellen, z. B. dem Tanycytenependym, gebildet werden. 5. Der erhöhte Gehalt des Isotops in den Ganglienzellen des Nervus trigeminus zeigt, daß die Wirkung von Metopiron nicht auf den Hypothalamus beschränkt bleibt, sondern darüber hinaus andere Bereiche des Nervensystems beeinflußt.
    Notes: Summary Male albino mice were subjected to single daily intraperitoneal injections of Metopiron over a period of 30 days. The effects of inhibition of adrenocortical steroid-synthesis on the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system were then studied, histologically and autoradiographically. The findings are as follows: 1. The supraoptico-neurohypophyseal system and the tubero-infundibular system are both affected by experimental interference with the hormone synthesis. 2. In all parts of the supraoptico-neurohypophyseal tract there is a decrease of PAF-positive neurosecretory substance. This corresponds to an undiminished incorporation of cysteine sulphur in the magnocellular nuclear areas and an accelerated transport of radioactive substances through the inner layer of the median eminence. The neurohypophysis releases the sulphur-labelled substance prematurely. 3. In the tubero-infundibular system PAF-positive material could not be demonstrated although the occurrence of PAF-positive neurosecretory substance in the external layer of the median eminenc following bilateral adrenalectomy has been established. On the other hand, the autoradiogram of the parvocellular hypothalamus shows a strongly increased incorporation of the cysteine sulphur in the region of the nucleus infundibularis and a more rapid release of tracer substance into the external layer of the median eminence. Simultaneously the uptake of the sulphur in the adenohypophysis is intensified. 4. It is thus clear that Metopiron exerts a dissimilar effect from adrenalectomy on the hypothalamus. A comparison of sections stained with PAF and autoradiographs shows that, following treatment with Metopiron, the weakened staining reaction is the expression of an increased activity in the neurosecretory system. It could not be decided whether the radioactively labelled substances in the tubero-infundibular system are produced in the nerve cells of the nucleus infundibularis or in glial cells, for instance in the tanycyte-ependyma. 5. The increased content of the isotope in the ganglion cells of the trigeminus nerve demonstrates that the effect of Metopiron is not limited to the hypothalamus but also involves other parts of the nervous system.
