    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Plusieurs sels métalliques (par ex., PbCl2, HoCl3, FeCl2, CrCl3) favorisent la précipitation d'apatite lorsqu'ils, sont ajoutés à une solution calcifiante. Toutefois, seuls certains d'entre eux (par ex., PbCl2, HoCl3) ont cette même propriété lorsqu'ils sont administrés à des rats. Lorsqu'injecté par voie sous-cutanée, le FeCl2 se dépose surtout à la surface de fibrilles collagènes bien développées. Il augmente les concentrations locales de calcium et de phosphore sans toutefois produire d'apatite. Au contraire, l'acétate de plomb administré de la même façon produit rapidement l'accumulation d'une substance cristalline (probablement du triphosphate de, plomb); il se dépose autour des faisceaux collagènes et endommage d'une façon plus marquée que le FeCl2 les éléments cellulaires du tissu, conjonctif;, finalement, il conduit à la formation d'apatite.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Viele Metallsalze (z. B. PbCl2, HoCl3, FeCl2, CrCl3) fördern in einer geeigneten Lösung die Ausfällung von Apatit; werden sie jedoch Ratten verabfolgt, so entfalten nur einige (z. B. PbCl2, HoCl3), diese Wirkung. Nach subcutaner Injektion ist FeCl2 größtenteils an der Oberfläche gut geformter kollagener Fibrillen abgelagert; es erhöht die örtliche Konzentration von Calcium und Phosphor, führt aber nicht zur Bildung von Apatit. Andererseits ruft Bleiacetat (in gleicher Weise verabreicht) eine frühe Anhäufung von kristallinem Material hervor (wahrscheinlich Bleitriphosphat); es lagert sich um Kollagenbündel herum ab und schädigt die Bindegewebszellen mehr als FeCl2. Schließlich führt es zu Apatitbildung.
    Notes: Abstract Many metallic salts (e.g., Pbcl2, HoCl3, FeCl2 CrCl3) favor the precipitation of apatite when added to a calcifying solution; however, only some of them (e.g., PbCl2, HoCl3) have the same actionin vivo. FeCl2 injected subcutaneously is deposited mostly on the surface of well-formed collagen fibrils; it increases the local concentrations of calcium and phosphorus but does not produce apatite. On the other hand, lead acetate (administered by the same route) produces an early accumulation of a crystalline material (probably lead triphosphate); it is deposited around collagen bundles and has, a more damaging effect on the cellular components of connective tissue than FeCl2. Eventually, it gives way to apatite formation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des spectres Laser de Raman de tibias de boeuf et de tendons de rat reconstitués ont été réalisés et comparés avec le spectre infra-rouge de tissu calcifié, et de collagène. Les raies les plus intenses dans le tissue calcifié sont liées aux systèmes phosphates, symétriques: cependant certains systèmes des corps vertébraux et les chaines secondaires du collagène sont aussi apparents. Il semble que la proline et la phénylalamine du collagène particitpent au spectre. Le spectre Raman du collagène reconstitué est difficile à distinguer du fond fluorescent. Seules 6 bandes distinctes ont pu, etre obtenues elles se répartissent entre les peptides et des chaines secondaires. Les différences êntre le collagène reconstitué et calcifié semblent provenir de la dénaturation partielle du premier dans le faisceau laser. Les autres différences semblent liées à des différences chimiques vraies.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Laser-Ramanspektren von Ochsentibia und von rekonstituierter Rattenschwanzsehne wurden aufgenommen und mit den Infrarotspektren von verkalktem Gewebe und Kollagen verglichen. Die intensivsten Ramanbanden der verkalkten Gewebe wurden von den symmetrischen Phosphatschwingungen verursacht; einige der Schwingungen des Grundgerüstes und der Seitenketten sind jedoch ebenfalls sichtbar. Es weist einiges darauf hin, daß sowohl das Prolin als auch das Phenylalanin des Kollagens zum Spektrum beitragen. Das Ramanspektrum Nur 6 klar abgetrennte Banden, die sich auf Peptide und Seitenkettenschwingungen verteilten, wurden erhalten. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Spektren von redonstituiertem und verkalktem Kollagen können auf eine teilweise Denaturierung des ersteren im Laserstrahl zurückgeführt werden. Andere Unterschiede scheinen rein chemischer Natur zu sein.
    Notes: Abstract Laser Raman spectra of ox tibia and of reconstituted rat tail tendon have been obtained and have been compared with the infrared spectra of calcified tissue and collagen. The most intense Raman bands in the calcified tissue originate from the symmetric phosphate modes; however, several of the backbone and side chain modes of collagen are also apparent. There is some evidence that both proline and phenylalamine in the collagen contribute to the spectrum. The Raman spectrum of reconstituted, collagen was difficult to separate from the fluorescence background. Only six distinct bands could be obtained, divided between peptide and sidechain modes. Differences between reconstituted and calcified collagen spectra may originate from partial denaturation of the former in the laser beam. Other differences seem to be genuine chemical manifestations.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des études de diffraction aux rayons X sont réalisées au niveau du tendon calcifié de la patte de dinde pour déterminer l'effet de la minéralisation sur certaines propriétés structurales du collagène. Le résultat le plus important indique que la première raie équatoriale du collagène de tendon calcifié, fraichement prélevé, présente une équidistance intermédiaire entre les valeurs de collagène déssèché et du collagène frais non calcifié. Comme cette équidistance parait traduire fidèlement le degré d'humidité du collagène, il semble que la minéralisation réduit la quantité d'eau associéein vivo avec le composant collagènique du tissu. La présence du minéral semble augmenter la résistance du collagène à une dénaturation thermique permanente.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurden Röntendiffraktionsuntersuchungen an calcifizierten Truthahnbeinsehnen durch geführt, um die Wirkung der Mineralisation auf einige der strukturellen Eigenschaften von Collagen festzustellen. Die wichtigste Beobachtung war, daß die erste äquatoriale Reflexion von Collagen in frish herauspräparierten calcifizierten Sehnen einen d-Wert aufwies, der zwischen den Werten für trockenes Collagen und frisches, nicht mineralisiertes Collagen liegt. Da dieser d-Wert empfindlich auf den Feuchtigkeitsgrad des Collagens reagiert, lassen diese Resultate vermuten, daß die Mineralisation die Wassermenge reduziert, welche sich in vivo mit der Collagenkomponente im Gewebe verbinden kann. Es wurde auch beobachtet, daß die Anwesenheit von Mineral den Widerstand von Collagen gegen bleibende thermale Denaturierung heraufzusetzen scheint.
    Notes: Abstract X-ray diffraction studies were conducted on calcified turkey leg tendon to establish the effect of mineralization on some of the structural properties of collagen. The principal finding was that the first equatorial reflection of collagen in freshly-excised calcified tendon had a d-spacing intermediate between the values for dried collagen and fresh unmineralized collagen. Since this spacing is a sensitive monitor of moisture levels in collagen, the data suggest that mineralization reduces the amount of water than can associatein vivo with the collagen component in tissue. It was also found that the presence of mineral appears to increase the resistance of collagen to permanent thermal denaturation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé De jeunes rats donneurs, de même portée, sont injectés à l'aide de proline3H (1 μ Ci/g) et sacrifiés de 6 heures à 28 jours plus tard. Les omoplates sont prélevées, décalcifiées à l'EDTA et implantées dans la région dorsale sous-cutanée des rats receveurs. Elles sont prélevées 14 jours plus tard avec les tissus environnants, puis elles sont préparées pour l'autoradiographie et colorées à l'hématoxyline-éosine. Dans tous les cas, une prolifération de cellules géantes est observée autour de l'os. Dans les os d'animaux donneurs, prélevés 6 heures après injection de proline, l'isotope est localisé sur les bords de la face d'apposition de l'os et les cellules géantes ne l'éliminent pas. Vingt huit jours après administration de proline, lorsque, par suite de l'apposition et de la résorption, l'isotope est localisé sur le côté de l'os, en voie de résorption, les cellules géantes éliminent l'isotope, sans l'ingérer toutefois. Il apparait, ainsi, que le collagène osseux, formé récemment, est difficilement éliminé, alors que le collagène plus ancien peut être résorbé.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Jungen, als Spender verwendeten Ratten aus einem isologen Stamm wurde3H-Prolin (1 μ Ci/g) injiziert; sie wurden 6 std bis 28 Tage später getötet. Die Schulterblätter wurden herauspräpariert, mit EDTA demineralisiert und subcutan am Rücken von Empfängerratten implantiert. 14 Tage später wurden sie mit dem umgebenden Gewebe entfernt, geschnitten, zur Autoradiographie vorbereitet und mit Hämatoxylin-Eosin gefärbt. In allen Fällen fand sich eine Ansammlung von Riesenzellen rund um den Knochen. Knochen, welche 6 Std nach der Prolininjektion von Spendertieren entnommen wurden, enthielten die Markierung am Rande der Anlagerungsseite, und diese Markierung wurde durch die Riesenzellen nicht verdrängt. Knochen, welche 28 Tage nach der Prolininjektion von Spendertieren entnommen wurden, zeigten durch Anlagerung und Resorption die Markierung auf der resorptiven Seite des Knochens; die Riesenzellen entfernten die Markierung, jedoch ohne sie zu phagocytieren. Es scheint daher, wie es auch in der Literatur vorgeschlagen wird, daß neugebildetes Knochenkollagen nur schwer zu entfernen ist, älteres Kollagen jedoch resorbiert werden kann.
    Notes: Abstract Young donor rats of an isogenously related strain were injected with3H proline (1 μ Ci/g) and killed from 6 hours to 28 days later. The scapulae were removed, decalcified with EDTA and implanted subcutaneously into the backs of recipient rats. They were removed 14 days later with the surrounding tissue, sectioned, processed for autoradiography and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. In all cases there was a giant cell response round the bone. In bones removed from the donor animals 6 hours after proline injections, the label was on the edge of the appositional side of the bone and the giant cells did not remove it. By 28 days after proline administration when, due to apposition and resorption, the label was on the resorptive side of the bone, giant cells were seen removing the label, which however they did not ingest. It thus appears, as has been suggested in the literature, that recently formed bone collagen is removed with difficulty, but older collagen can be resorbed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La composition en éléments métalliques, trouvés à l'état de traces, dans le minéral de l'os humain et dans l'os déminéralisé est mesurée par spectroscopie d'émissions et comparée à celle de l'os original entier et le tendon humain. Le Cu, Fe et Zn restent dans la matrice collagène de l'os et se retrouvent en quantités équivalentes dans le tendon. Il semble donc que ces ions soient liés chimiquement à la matrice collagène de ces tissusin vivo et que cette liaison joue un rôle dans leur activité. La majorité du Pb, Si, Sr, et V de l'os reste dans la fraction minérale, probablement sous la forme d'ions substitués ou interstitiels. Le Zn se répartit entre les phases organiques et minérales.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die natürliche Zusammensetzung der Spurenelemente im menschlichen Knochemineral und im demineralisierten Knochen wurde mittels Emissionsspektroskopie gemessen und mit jener im ursprünglichen, intakten Knochen und in der menschlichen Sehne verglichen. Cu, Fe und Zn blieben in der Kollagenmatrix des Knochens zurück und wurden in ähnlichen Mengen in der Sehne gefunden. Deshalb wird angenommen, daß diese Ionen in vivo chemisch an die Kollagenmatrix dieser Gewebe gebunden sind und daß diese Bindung einen Anteil an ihrer Aktivität hat. Der größte Teil des Pb, Si, Sr und V des Knochens blieb in der Mineralfraktion, vermutlich als substituierte oder interstitielle Ionen. Zn ist gleichmäßig auf die organische und anorganische Phase verteilt.
    Notes: Abstract The natural trace metal compositions of human bone mineral and demineralized bone were measured by emission spectroscopy and compared with those of the original whole bone and human tendon. Cu, Fe and Zn remained in the collagenous matrix of bone and were found in similar quantities in tendon. It is suggested, therefore, that these ions are chemically bound to the collagen matrix in these tissuesin vivo, and that the binding has a part in their activity. Most of the Pb, Si, Sr, and V in bone remained with the mineral portion, probably as substituted or interstitial ions. Zn is divided between the organic and mineral phases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des rats mâles, de plus d'un an et demi, ont été injectés avec du45Ca++. Un jour après l'injection, on a fait jeûner quelques animaux pendant 4, 9 et 15 jours. D'autres animaux ont jeûné 35 jours, après injection; certains rats ont reçu une injection de prednisolone jusqu'à ce qu'ils aient perdu 30% de leur poids. Ce dernier groupe n'a pas reçu de45Ca++. Chez les animaux soumis au jeûne, la perte de poids était de 10%, 12%, 20%, 22%, 30% et 32%. Ces groupes ont perdu respectivement 13%, 16% et 28% d'azote corporel, alors que le groupe prednisolone en a perdu 29%. Les fémurs de ces animaux ne présentent aucune perte de collagène. Le calcium des fémurs est réduit de manière significative (8% de perte) chez les animaux ayant jeûné le plus. Le collagène corporel (à part celui des fémurs, de la peau, des poumons et de l'intestin grêle) est réduit de 4%, 7% et 15% chez les groupes ayant jeûné, et 11% dans le groupe injecté à la cortisone, alors que le calcium est diminué respectivement de 6%, 5%, 18% et 13%. Le nombre de coups par minute, c.p.m., et le s.a. de calcium des animaux ayant reçu une injection d'isotope et soumis au jeûne, sont considérablement plus élevés que ceux des témoins. Ils augmentent proportionnellement avec la durée du jeûne et sont plus élevés pour l'organisme entier que pour les fémurs. Lorsque les animaux se mettent à jeûner 35 jours après l'administration de l'isotope, les faits observés sont identiques, mais l'augmentation relative est nettement inférieure par rapport au groupe précédent. Les résultats ont été interprétés comme suit: 1. Le collagène fémoral est stable malgré la grande perte d'azote corporel, provoqué par le jeûne ou par l'administration du prednisolone. An niveau de l'organisme entier, une diminution importante peut cependant être observée dans ces conditions. 2. De faibles quantités de calcium peuvent être éliminées sans perte de collagène, mais, en cas de perte élevée, le collagène di minue dans une proportion à peu près égale à celle du calcium. 3. Le calcium récemment déposé se modifie chimiquement et thermodynamiquement avec le temps, de telle sorte qu'il réagit différemment en cas de famine.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung 45Ca++ wurde männlichen Ratten injiziert, die über 18 Monate alt waren. Beginnend am Tag nach der Injektion ließ man einige der Tiere während 4, 9, resp. 15 Tagen fasten. Anderen ließ man erst ab 35 Tagen nach der Markierung mit45Ca++ fasten, und weiteren wurde Prednisolon injiziert, bis ein Gewichtsverlust von 30% verursacht wurde, obschon sie kein45Ca++ erhielten. Die fastenden Tiere zeigten Gewichtsverluste von 10–12%, 20–22%, resp. 30–32%. Diese Gruppen verloren 13%, 16%, resp. 28% des Stickstoffs aus dem Skelet, wogegen die Prednisolongruppe einen Verlust von 29% aufwies. Die Femora dieser Tiere zeigten keinen Kollagenverlust. Der Calciumgehalt der Femora war merklich vermindert (8%ige Abnahme) bei jenen Tieren, die am längsten gefastet hatten. Im Skelet (Femora, Haut, Lunge und Dünndarm nicht inbegriffen) nahm das Kollagen um 4%, 7%, resp. 15% bei den fastenden Gruppen und 11% bei der Cortisongruppe ab, während das Calcium um 6%, 5%, 18%, resp. 13% vermindert war. Die Radioaktivität und die spezifische Aktivität des Calciums war beträchtlich größer bei den Tieren, die das Isotop erhielten und die man sofort fasten ließ als bei den Kontrolltieren, und zwar zunehmend mit dem Grad der Fastenzeit; sie waren größer im restlichen Skelet als in den Femora. Wenn das Fasten erst 35 Tage nach der Markierung begann, waren die Resultate ähnlich, aber größenordnungsmäßig weit unter den vorher erwähnten. Die Resultate wurden folgendermaßen interpretiert: 1. Das Kollagen in den Femora bleibt unverändert trotz großem Verlust von Stickstoff aus dem Skelet, verursacht durch Fasten oder Prednisolongaben. Es können jedoch im restlichen Skelet unter diesen Bedingungen große Verluste entstehen. 2. Kleinere Calciummengen können verloren gehen ohne Kollagenverlust; bei größeren Calciumverlusten jedoch geht Kollagen ungefähr im gleichen Verhältnis wie Calcium verloren. 3. Frisch abgelagertes Calcium verändert sich mit der Zeit in chemischer und thermodynamischer Hinsicht, so daß es während des Fastens anders reagiert als vorher.
    Notes: Abstract Male rats more than 11/2 years of age were injected with45Ca2+. Some were starved for 4, 9, and 15 days beginning one day later. Others were starved beginning 35 days after receiving the label, and still others were injected with prednisolone until 30% weight loss was induced, although the latter did not receive45Ca2+. In the starved animals, weight losses of 10–12%, 20–22%, and 30–32% were induced. These groups lost 13%, 16%, and 28%, respectively, of their carcass nitrogen while the prednisolone group lost 29%. The femora of these animals exhibited no collagen loss. Calcium in the femora was significantly reduced (8% loss) in the animals starved the most. In the carcass (minus the femora, skin, lungs, and small intestine) collagen was reduced 4%, 7%, and 15% in the starved groups and 11% in the cortisone group while calcium was reduced 6%, 5%, 18%, and 13%, respectively. The c.p.m. and s.a. of calcium in the animals which received the isotope and were starved immediately, were considerably greater than that of the controls, increasing with degree of starvation and was greater in the carcass than in the femora. When starvation was instituted 35 days after administration of isotope, the patterns were similar but the relative increase was far below the previous. The results were interpreted as follows: 1. Collagen in the femora is stable in the presence of great loss of body nitrogen induced by starvation or prednisolone administration. However, in the carcass large decrements may result under these conditions. 2. Small amounts of calcium may be lost without loss of collagen, but with large losses, collagen is lost in roughly equal proportion to calcium. 3. Newly-laid-down calcium becomes altered with time in its chemical or thermodynamic state so that it responds differently in the presence of starvation than it did before.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Ce travail montre que les fibres contenant du collagène, et provenant de tendons de boeuf, induisent le dépôt d'ions calcium et phosphates à partir de solutions stables. Il se forme ainsi une phase minérale, liée à la matrice, qui participe aux réactions d'échange avec45Ca2+ et32P-HPO 4 2 -, présents dans la phase soluble. Les vitesses d'échange et le dépôt au niveau de la matrice augmentent lorsque la quantité de minéral lié est augmentée. Cependant, à des concentrations élevées de minéral lié, la vitesse de dépôt du calcium matriciel tend à approcher une valuer limite, indiquant la présence d'un facteur de limitation, ou d'une étape faisant intervenir l'ion calcium, qui ne participe pas à la réaction d'échange du calcium. Ces études montrent aussi que les inhibiteurs de la réaction générale de calcification peuvent être définies par leurs effects différents sur l'échange et le dépôt de l'ion matriciel. Une fraction peptidique acide, dérivée de l'urine, et l'acide méthylène-diphosphonique inhibent la calcification matriciel ainsi que les deux réactions d'échange, alors que Mg2+ et F− inhibent la calcification matricielle, mais n'inhibent pas les réactions d'échange. Les résultats obtenus indiquent que les réactions d'échanges ne sont pas liés à la réversibilité du mécanisme de la calcification matricielle, mais constituent une réaction d'équilibre indépendante d'ions mobiles de la phase minérale liée avec ceux de la phase soluble.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Diese Untersuchung zeigt, daß collagenhaltige, aus Rindersehnen gewonnene Fasern die Aufnahme von Calcium- und Phosphationen aus stabilen Lösungen veranlassen; dadurch entsteht eine an die Matrix gebundene Mineralphase, welche an Austauschreaktionen mit in der löslichen Phase vorliegenden45Ca2+- und32P-HPO 4 2 -Ionen teilnimmt. Es zeigte sich, daß die Geschwindigkeit von Austausch und effektiver Aufnahme bei Erhöhung der gebundenen Mineralmenge zunahm. Ist jedoch viel Mineral gebunden, so hat die effektive Calcium-aufnahmegeschwindigkeit die Tendenz, einen Grenzwert zu erreichen, was die Beteiligung einer geschwindigkeitsbegrenzenden Stelle oder Stufe vermuten läßt, wobei das an der Calcium-austauschreaktion nicht teilnehmende Calciumion einbezogen wird. Diese Untersuchungen zeigen auch, daß Inhibitoren der gesamten Verkalkungsreaktion im Hinblick auf ihre unterschiedlichen Wirkungen auf Austausch und effektive Ionenaufnahme charakterisiert werden können. Eine saure Peptidfraktion aus Urin sowie Methylendiphosphonate hemmen die effektive Verkalkung und zudem beide Austauschreaktionen, während Mg2+ und F− wohl die effektive Verkalkung, aber nicht die Austauschreaktionen hemmen. Diese Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die Austauschreaktionen nicht auf der Reversibilität des effektiven Verkalkungsvorgangs beruhen, sondern daß sie ein unabhängiges Gleichgewicht zwischen mobilen Ionen der gebundenen Mineralphase und der löslichen Phase darstellen.
    Notes: Abstract This investigation demonstrates that collagen-containing fibers derived from beef tendon will induce the uptake of calcium and phosphate ions from stable solutions to form a matrix-bound mineral phase that will participate in exchange reactions with45Ca2+ and32P-HPO 4 2 -present in the soluble phase. The rates of exchange and net uptake were found to be increased by increasing the amount of bound mineral. However, at elevated levels of bound mineral the rate of net calcium uptake tends to approach a limiting value, suggesting the involvement of a rate-limiting site or step involving the calcium ion that does not participate in the calcium exchange reaction. These studies also reveal that inhibitors of the overall calcification reaction can be characterized with respect to their differential effects on exchange and net ion uptake. An acidic peptide fraction derived from urine and methylenediphosphonic acid inhibit net calcification as well as both exchange reactions whereas Mg2+ and F− inhibit net calcification but do not inhibit the exchange reactions. These results indicate that the exchange reactions are not due to the reversibility of the net calcification reaction but constitute an independent equilibration of mobile ions of the bound mineral phase with those of the soluble phase.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets de l'adénohypophysectomie et de diverses sollicitations de l'axe hypothalamo-hypophysio-corticosurrénalien sur l'ultrastructure de l'Eminence Médiane (E.M.) ont été étudiés chez le Pigeon. 1. Chez le Pigeon entier, l'Eminence Médiane Caudale (E.M.C.) se distingue de l'Eminence Médiane Rostrale (E.M.R.) essentiellement par l'absence dans les deux couches les plus externes (couches palissadique et superficielle) de l'E.M.C. de granules de gros calibres (1600 à 1900 Å), la rareté de granules de diamètre moyen (1200–1400 Å) et la prédominance de petites vésicules à cœur dense de 600–800 Å. 2. La préhypophysectomie entraine: a) dans l'E.M.R. la quasi disparition de granulations dans les deux couches externes; b) dans l'E.M.C. la ≪vidange≫ de nombreux axones, mais un enrichissement relatif, parmi les granulations restantes, des granulations de gros calibre (1600–1900 Å) aux dépens des granules de plus petit calibre. 3. Un shock insulinique entraine des modifications du même ordre: a) déplétion des granules denses, limitée dans ce cas à la portion la plus antérieure des deux couches externes de l'E.M.R.; b) enrichissement relatif des granulations de moyen (1200–1400 Å) et de gros (1600–1900 Å) calibre dans l'E.M.C. avec, en plus dans l'E.M.C., un enrichissement en vésicules de type synaptique. 4. Un traitement à la métopirone produit un accroissement du nombre des granulations de moyen (1200–1400 Å) calibre dans les couches externes de l'E.M.R. et de l'E.M.C., et un enrichissement important de l'E.M.C. en vésicules de type synaptique. 5. Le traitement à la prednisolone conduit à un enrichissement très marqué des couches externes de l'E.M.R. en grains de 1200–1400 Å, et à un enrichissement des couches externes de l'E.M.C. en granulations de 1000 Å. Ces résultats sont discutés dans la perspective des régulations hypothalamo-corticotropes, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les granules de 1200–1400 Å.
    Notes: Summary The effects of adenohypophysectomy, and of several experimental interventions on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal cortical axis have been studied in relation to the fine structure of the median eminence in the pigeon. 1. In control animals, the following morphological features of the caudal median eminence (C.M.E.) distinguish it from the rostral median eminence (R.M.E.): a) the absence in both external layers of the C.M.E. of large (1,600–1,900 Å) electron-dense granules, b) the presence in the C.M.E. of a small number of medium-size (1,200–1,400 Å) granules, and c) the predominance in the C.M.E. of small (600–800 Å) dense-core vesicles. 2. Adenohypophysectomy leads to: a) almost complete disappearance of electron-dense granules in both external layers of the R.M.E., and b) “emptying” of numerous axons and a relative increase in the number of large (1,600–1,900 Å) granules in the C.M.E. 3. Insulin shock produces modifications similar to those of adenohypophysectomy. The depletion of electron-dense granules from the axons is, however, restricted to the most anterior part of the R.M.E., and, in the C.M.E., the relative increase in the number of larger granules affects the 1,200–1,400 Å and the 1,600–1,900 Å size granules. 4. Metopirone enhances the number of medium-size (1,200–1,400 Å) granules in the external layers of both the R.M.E. and the C.M.E. and causes a significant increase in the number of synaptic-like vesicles in the C.M.E. 5. Prednisolone treatment leads to a marked enrichment of the external layers of the R.M.E. with 1,200–1,400 Å granules, and of the external layers of the C.M.E. with 1,000 Å granules. These results have been discussed with special reference to the hypothalamic control of the adrenocorticotropic function, especially reviewing the role of the 1,200–1,400 Å granules.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mikroskopische Beobachtungen an normalen „phagozytären Geweben“ (im Sinne der älteren Autoren) entlang des dorsalen Diaphragmas der beiden Orthopteren-Arten Gryllus bimaculatus und Locusta migratoria zeigen übereinstimmend, daß diese Bildungen eine hematopoietische Struktur haben. Bei beiden Arten entwickeln sich die blutbildenden Stammzellen aus einer großen Anzahl sog. Retikularzellen mesodermalen Ursprungs, die den Retikularzellen der blutbildenden Gewebe der Vertebrata sehr stark ähneln. Wie bei den Vertebrata differenzieren sich bei den Insekten die Blutzellen in sog. isogenen Zellgruppen von gleichem Typus und gleichem Entwicklungsstadium. Die starke phagozytäre Neigung der Retikularzellen erklärt, warum die blutbildenden Gewebe der Orthoptera von den älteren Autoren als phagozytäre Organe angesprochen wurden. Die hämatopoietische Differenzierung der Retikularzellen in reife Blutzellen (Haemozyten) findet entweder in einem lockeren Gewebe entlang des dorsalen Blutgefäßes, wie bei Locusta, statt, oder im inneren mehrerer, an das Herz gebundener, hoch organisierter blutbildender Organe, wie bei Gryllus, die noch stärker an die klassischen Strukturen der Vertebrata erinnern. Wir beschreiben im einzelnen beide Strukturtypen, insbesondere bei Gryllus die Einteilung der Organe in einen Cortex, in dem sich die Blutzellen bilden, und eine Medulla, in welcher sich die reifen Haemozyten ansammeln können. Nach starken Blutverlusten zeigen besonders die blutbildenden Gewebe von Gryllus eine dramatische Stimulierung der Hämatopoiese an; die Punktion der hämatopoietischen Organe kann also ebenfalls experimentell nachgewiesen werden.
    Notes: Summary Microscopic observations of the normal “phagocytic tissues” (in the sense of the classic authors) of the dorsal diaphragm in the two Orthopterans Gryllus bimaculatus and Locusta migratoria unequivocally demonstrate the hematopoietic nature of these cellular accumulations. In the two species, the hematopoietic elements develop from a large number of so-called reticular cells of mesodermic origin, which resemble closely the reticular cells of the hematopoietic organs of Vertebrates. As it is the case in Vertebrates, the differentiation of the hematopoietic elements into mature blood cells occurs in the two Orthopterans also in isogenic cell islets. The phagocytic activity of the reticular cells explains the fact that these organs were classically considered in the Orthopterans as simple phagocytic organs. The hematopoietic differentiation of the reticular cells can occur either in a poorly organized, loose tissue located along the dorsal vessel, as is the case in Locusta, or in a group of highly organized hematopoietic organs, as in Gryllus, which resemble far more the classical hematopoietic structures of Vertebrates. We give a detailed description of both types of organization, especially of the subdivision in Gryllus, of the hematopoietic organs into a cortex, where the haemocytes differentiate, and a medulla, where they can accumulate. After severe hemorrhages, the hematopoietic organs of Gryllus show all the features of a dramatic stimulation of hematopoiesis; their function can thus be experimentally demonstrated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei erwachsenen Feuersalamandern und bei Salamanderlarven konnten in Ependymzellen sowie in subependymären Zellelementen des Gehirns und Rückenmarks zahlreiche rundliche intrazytoplasmatische Körper von starker Osmiophilie beobachtet werden, deren Durchmesser bis zu 12 μ betrug. Vereinzelt fanden sich diese voluminösen Gebilde auch im Cytoplasma von Satellitenzellen der Hirnnerven- und Spinalganglien. Das histochemische Verhalten und das Ultrastrukturbild der intrazytoplasmatischen Körper sprechen dafür, daß sie hauptsächlich aus Lipiden bestehen. Ihre funktionelle Bedeutung konnte bisher nicht eindeutig geklärt werden.
    Notes: Summary The ependymal and subependymal cells of the ventricular system and the central canal in adult und larval salamanders contain numerous unusually large intracytoplasmic osmiophilic spherical bodies with a diameter of up to 12 μ. Sporadically the bodies are found within satellite cells of peripheral ganglia. Histochemical and ultrastructural examination suggests that the bodies consist mainly of lipids. Their functional significance is unknown.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Normale und hypoxische Herzmuskelzellen aus der Wand des linken Ventrikels der Ratte wurden quantitativ-morphologisch anhand von elektronenmikroskopischen Längsschnitten nach Perfusionsfixierung untersucht. In normalen Zellen waren alle Myofibrillen relaxiert, die mittlere Sarcomerlänge betrug 2,2 μm. Die Schnittfläche wurde zu 55% von Myofibrillen, zu 27% von Mitochondrien und zu 18% von Grundplasma und Reticulum eingenommen. Die zwischen den Myofibrillen liegenden Mitochondrien waren längsoval und im Mittel 2,3mal so lang wie breit. Es bestand kein Unterschied zwischen subendokardial und subepikardial gelegenen Zellen. 10 min nach Erstickung der Tiere waren in den sonst unauffälligen Muskelzellen die Glycogengranula vermindert. Nach 20 min führte die Hypoxie zu einer Zunahme der relativen Schnittfläche der Mitochondrien um etwa 16% und zu einer beginnenden Kontraktur der Myofibrillen (Sarcomerlänge 2,0 μm). 20 min Hypoxie in Hypothermie (25–30°C intrathorakal) veränderte die normale Zellstruktur dagegen kaum. Wenn die Herzen während der 20 min dauernden Hypoxie in Normothermie mit einer procainhaltigen sauerstoff- und glucosefreien Blutersatzlösung durchspült wurden, waren die Myofibrillen relaxiert, die Schwellung der Mitochondrien dagegen wurde nicht reduziert. 30 min nach Erstickung wurde die Kontraktur stärker (Sarcomerlänge 1,7 μm). Nach 60 min bildeten sich Superkontraktionsknoten, einzelne Myofibrillen waren in Höhe der I-Bänder unterbrochen. Die Cristae der Mitochondrien wichen auseinander, die Schnittfläche der Mitochondrien hatte um 27% zugenommen. Während in Normotherapie eine Asphyxie des Tieres bereits nach 10 min die Herzmuskelzellen funktionell schwer schädigt, ist die Schädigung morphologisch erst nach 20 min eindeutig. Das bedeutet, daß für die elektronenmikroskopische Präparation eine Hypoxie von unter 10 min bedeutungslos ist. Hinsichtlich der morphologischen Manifestationszeit für die Unterbrechung der Sauerstoffversorgung stimmen unsere Befunde an Herzmuskelzellen gut mit vergleichbaren Angaben an Leberzellen überein.
    Notes: Summary In heart muscle cells of the left ventricle of rats the distribution of cell organelles and their reaction to hypoxia were investigated by electron microscopy. In normal hearts fixed by perfusion with aldehydes, the mean sarcomere length was 2.2 μm. 27% of the longitudinal sectional area was occupied by mitochondria, 55% by myofibrils and 18% by sarcoplasmic reticulum and ground plasm. The mitochondria situated in rows between the fibrils were oval and measured 2.3 times more in length than in width. There was no difference between cells from subendocardial and subepicardial regions. 10 min hypoxia (complete occlusion of the trachea) did not affect the appearance of muscle cells but diminished the number of glycogen granules. After 20 minutes the area occupied by mitochondria was increased by 16%, the mitochondria between the myofibrils were more spherical and only 1.5 times longer than wide. The sarcomeres shortened to 2.0 μm. With hypothermia (25–30°C) hypoxia of 20 minutes duration did not affect the cell structure. Perfusion of the heart by a saline solution, which contained procaine but neither oxygen nor glucose, for 20 minutes prevented shortening of the sarcomeres but not swelling of the mitochondria. 30 minutes after occlusion of the trachea the myofibrils shortened to a sarcomere length of 1.7 μm. After 60 minutes irregularly and excessively contracted myofibrils appeared and some sarcomeres were interrupted at the level of the I-bands. In some of the swollen mitochondria the cristae were widely separated. The increase of the area occupied by mitochondria was 27%. Asphyxia affects heart muscle cells severely with respect to function within 10 min, but morphologically it takes 20 min before a definite effect can be noticed. As to the time after which lack of oxygen is manifested morphologically, our results are consistent with findings in liver cells.

    Notes: Summary Techniques of individual cell selection and precise ultramicrotomy have been employed to demonstrate that the contractile ring of cleaving HeLa cells is a transitory cytoplasmic organelle of distinctive fine structure and location. The contractile ring is an uninterrupted annulus encircling the equator of dividing cells exactly where the cleavage furrow forms. It is about 10 microns wide, up to 0.2 microns in thickness, and is composed exclusively of circumferentially aligned thin filaments 40–70 Å in diameter. Contractile ring filaments appear to be associated with the overlying plasma membrane. Controlled experiments with a mold metabolite (cytochalasin B) reveals that within a few minutes the drug abolishes the ability of HeLa cells to undergo cytokinesis. Cytochalasin B seems to decompose the contractile ring. It has no other clearly identifiable effects on other cell structures, notably the mitotic apparatus. Cytochalasin B is the only drug known which selectively inhibits cytokinesis in animal cells. In conclusion, the contractile ring is the most likely organelle responsible for cytokinesis in HeLa cells. Similar organelles probably occur in all cleaving animal cells. Successful cleavage depends upon the structural and functional integrity of the contractile ring.

    Notes: Summary The different patterns of keratin formation that have evolved in the class Reptilia are all variations of a common process. In Squamata (snakes and lizards), a sequence of layers composed of α or β keratin is formed periodically, after which the old epidermal generation is shed. In Chelonia (turtles and tortoises), the epidermis of the shell is composed of only β keratin, whereas the skin of the neck and leg is composed exclusively of α keratin. Molting in toto does not occur and shedding is a continuous process comparable to that in avian and mammalian epidermis. In Crocodilia (crocodiles, caimans, alligators) there is only a single layer of cornified cells, but the composition of the layer varies in different parts of the scale. The hinge regions have many of the morphological characteristics of α and β keratin whereas the center resembles β keratin. The living cells beneath contain accumulations of keratohyalin. There are four ultrastructural characteristics of a keratinized α layer: 1) cellular outlines remain distinct, 2) a thickened plasma membrane forms during keratinization, 3) 80 Å filaments embedded in an amorphous matrix can be seen, and 4) PAS-positive material accumulates in extracellular spaces between the desmosomes. The β layer exhibits none of these features. Instead the cells more or less (depending on species) coalesce into a compact layer which becomes attenuated in the hinge regions. A 30 Å filament pattern can be seen. The mesos layer of squamates resembles the hinge region of crocodilians, exhibiting a combination of the characteristics of both α and β keratin.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of perivascular and perineuronal cells in the substantia nigra and red nucleus was studied in Nissl, silver carbonate, and electron microscopic preparations. In light microscopic preparations of the red nucleus and substantia nigra oligodendrocytes and astrocytes are located adjacent to blood vessels and nerve cells. Pericytes are also found adjacent to blood vessels. Scattered perineuronal oligodendrocytes and astrocytes are present in the magnocellular portion of the red nucleus and in the substantia nigra, whereas a distinguishing morphological feature of the parvocellular portion of the red nucleus is the clustering of perineuronal oligodendrocytes around a single neuron. In the present electron micrographs of the red nucleus and substantia nigra oligodendrocytes are separated from the vascular basement membrane (basal lamina) by astrocyte processes and therefore are not truly perivascular. Pericytes are easily identified by the basement membrane which encompasses their cell bodies and processes. Characteristic of the neuropil in the red nucleus are astrocytic processes that approximate dendrites. In contrast, astrocytic processes in the substantia nigra rarely contact dendrites which are covered by a mosaic of synaptic endings. A “third type of neuroglial element” is also present in the neuropil of the substantia nigra and the red nucleus.

    Notes: Summary Electron microscope studies of axons, distributing singly or in small bundles in the human ventricular and atrial myocardium, indicate a few per-cent of the axon profiles to be significantly large in diameter (1.5–3.0 μ). They are characteristically packed with a profuse number of mitochondria along with large granular vesicles, glycogen rosettes, lysosomic bodies; and some of them terminate on a “specific terminal cell” (Knoche and Schmitt). These mitochondria-rich, large axons are assumed to be terminal portions of the cardiac afferents. About half of the axons encountered in the ventricle and 2/3 in the atrium are non-vesiculated, usually less than 0.5 μ. in diameter. The varicosities containing numerous vesicles are mostly 0.5–1.5 μ in diameter and are assumed to be terminal portions of the cardiac efferents. The ratio between the number of axon profiles containing small granular vesicles and that of axon profiles containing agranular vesicles without small granular vesicles is 2∶1 in the ventricular myocardium and 1∶1.7 in the atrial myocardium.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'ultrastructure des cellules interstitielles du testicule de Lacerta vivipara a été étudiée entre le printemps et l'automne pendant deux années. Le retioulum endoplasmique lisse, et les mitochondries à crêtes tabulaires sont les organites les plus remarquables comme dans les autres cellules productrices de stéroïdes, mais les liposomes et l'appareil de Golgi sont bien représentés aussi. Les variations ultrastructurales les plus significatives apparaissent entre le printemps et le début de l'été. Au printemps, alors que les caractères sexuels secondaires sont hypertrophiés, un système remarquable de vésicules et de vacuoles se développe à partir du reticulum et probablement aussi du Golgi. Au début de l'été, lorsque les caractères sexuels secondaires sont atrophiés, les vacuoles sont moins nombreuses et le reticulum forme un réseau dense de tubules typiques, souvent étroitement associés aux liposomes; les crêtes mitochondriales sont gonflées. Ces images sont discutées en fonction de l'activité saisonnière d'élaboration d'hormones. L'hypertrophie des systèmes membranaires au printemps correspond probablement à la production ou (et) à l'excrétion des hormones androgènes. Au début de l'été, la cellule n'élabore pas d'androgènes, mais n'est peut-être pas complètement inactive: elle pourrait stocker des précurseurs hormonaux.
    Notes: Summary Interstitial cells of the testis of Lacerta vivipara have been studied electronmicroscopically in animals obtained between spring and autumn. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria with tubular cristae are the most prominent organels, lipid droplets and Golgi apparatus being also well developed. The most significant ultrastructural changes occur between spring and the beginning of summer. In spring, during the hypertrophy of secondary sexual characters, a conspicuous system of vesicles and vacuoles originates from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and probably also from the Golgi apparatus. At the beginning of summer, when secondary sexual characters are atrophied, vacuoles are less prominent and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum consists of a dense network of typical tubules, often closely associated with the lipid droplets; the cristae of the mitochondria are swollen. These ultrastructural findings are discussed in relation to the production of hormones. The hypertrophy of membrane systems in spring corresponds presumably to production or (and) release of androgen hormones. In the beginning of summer the cell does not produce androgens, but probably is not completely inactive: it may store precursors of hormones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch Vergleich fluoreszenz- und elektronenmikroskopischer Untersuchungen am zentralen Nervensystem von Planorbarius corneus L. wird nachgewiesen, daß in den Schlundringganglien Neurosekretzellen vorkommen (Nachweis mit Pseudoisocyaninchlorid), die mit Nervenzellen nicht identisch sind, die durch ihren hohen Gehalt an biogenen Aminen auffallen (Nachweis durch die Methode von Falck und Owman, 1965). Es können daher im Schlundring von Planorbarius corneus peptiderge und aminerge Neurosekretzellen unterschieden werden. Die PSC-positiven Neurosekretzellen enthalten elektronendichte Elementargrana und die aminergen Neurone „dense-core“ Vesikel. Der Nachweis biogener Amine in einigen Nervenzellen von Planorbarius corneus spicht für deren chemische Identität mit Transmittersubstanzen, ihre hohe Konzentration aber für eine Abgabe in die Körperflüssigkeit.
    Notes: Summary The neurosecretory system of the snail Planorbarius corneus has been investigated by fluorescence and electron microscopy. With the fluorochrome Pseudoisocyanin the established neurosecretory system in the cerebral ganglia and single neurosecretory cells in the other ganglia show an intensive yellow fluorescence. Electron micrographs reveal the presence of electron dense granules (elementary granules) in the pericarya and the axons of neurones which have the same localisation in the ganglia as the pseudoisocyanin-positive cells. The fluorescence technique for biogenic amines produces yellow and green fluorescence within neurons and in the neuropil and nerves. The fluorescence obtained in determinable areas and neurones correlates well with the electron microscopic location of “dense-core” vesicles within the pericarya and axons of cells in even the same areas. It is discussed, that in this animal both types of cells are so-called “neurosecretory cells”, because the high content of elementary granules in the “peptidergic neurosecretory cells” and of “dense-core” vesicles in the “aminergic neurosecretory cells” is an indication for secretion of these products in neurohaemal areas (circulatory channels).

    Notes: Summary Thymic small lymphocytes of dd-mice were qualitatively and quantitatively studied by electron microscopy. Differences in fine structure were revealed between cortical and medullary small lymphocytes. Cortical small lymphocytes are rounded in cell outline with a round nucleus. The cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus as a narrow rim is scanty and appears relatively dense due to an abundance of free ribosomes. The cell organelles are not well developed. On the other hand, medullary small lymphocytes are more irregular in shape with uneven cell membranes. Their nuclei are also more irregular in outline with frequent infoldings of the nuclear membrane. The cytoplasm is more abundant and paler with less numerous ribosomes. The cell organelles are better developed. Quantitative analysis was made of both cortical and medullary small lymphocytes by means of the point counting method. The nuclei of both cortical and medullary small lymphocytes are almost the same in size (a diameter of 4.9 μ). The cell sizes are different between cortical and medullary lymphocytes: cortical small lymphocytes with a diameter of 5.5 μ were smaller than medullary ones with a diameter of 6.4 μ. Cortical small lymphocytes are very sensitive to the destructive effects of hydrocortisone, whereas the medullary ones are resistant. Periarteriolar lymphoid sheath in the splenic white pulp, which is known to be a thymus-dependent area, contains small lymphocytes that were similar in cytological details to medullary small lymphocytes of the thymus. In the light of the recent knowledge about a recirculating long-lived small lymphocyte pool, it appears probable that medullary small lymphocytes represent a contribution to the pool and that small lymphocytes with a long life span can be cytologically identified by electron microscopy.

Im Bereich von Abzweigungen kleiner Nerven bildet das Perineurium ein gekammertes, stark kollagenfibrillenhaltiges Hüllensystem. Die Endigung der einschichtigen Perineuralhülle hat die Form einer in das Interstitium geöffneten Röhre. Im ansatznahen Drittel des Mesenteriums und in der Schleimhaut der Trachea wurden ausschließlich perineuriumfreie Nerven gefunden. Es liegt nahe, diese perineuriumfreien Bezirke zu funktionellen Endräumen zusammenzufassen. In perineuriumfreien Bezirken wird das gehäufte Auftreten von Nervenauftreibungen mit Vesikeln, die Transmittersubstanz enthalten, und Mitochondrion beobachtet. Die erhobenen Befunde werden mit den an dickem Perineurium gewonnenen Ergebnissen verglichen und diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The perineurial sheath of small tracheal and mesenteric nerves consists of a layer of flat, basement membrane coated cells. Its ramifications form a complicated layered system, interspersed with collagen fibrils. The tube formed by the thin perineurial sheath ends openly, which affords communication between the respective interstitial spaces. The mesenteric nerves close to the duodenum as well as the nerves in the vicinity of the tracheal epithelium show no perineurial sheath. Peripheral nerves lacking a perineurial layer seem to be close to their terminations. Their fibers show varicosities containing transmitter vesicles and mitochondria with longitudinally orientated cristae. Our results are compared with those found in thick, multilayered perineurial sheaths and functional differences are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The morphology of postnatal differentiation of the Golgi apparatus, the nucleus, the perikaryon, and the dendrites was studied in Purkinje cells of the rat cerebellum for 30 days after birth using histochemical, histological, and electron microscopic methods. The Golgi apparatus during differentiation undergoes morphological and positional changes. From the 1st to 7th postnatal day, the Golgi apparatus is found in a supranuclear position, and is connected with the axes of differentiating primary dendrites by beam-like processes. From days 8 to 11 this connection disappears, and most of the Golgi apparatus assumes a lateronuclear and infranuclear position. After the 11th or 12th day, the Golgi apparatus is found in perinuclear and peripheral cytoplasmic positions. The formation of granular endoplasmic reticulum occurs in the vicinity of the perinuclear Golgi apparatus. The differentiation of cell and nuclear forms requires approximately 20 days. The morphological changes of differentiation are discussed in relation to the participation of the Golgi apparatus in the differentiation of dendrites and in the formation of the granular endoplasmic reticulum.

Between 21 and 22 hours intact pronuclei with extensive interdigitation of apposing surfaces were found in most ova. In some, an appearance suggesting internuclear communication was observed. In other ova disrupted pronuclear membranes surrounded centrally placed chromosome aggregates. In still others an advanced cleavage furrow was already present. By 23 hours all ova were in the two-cell stage.

    Notes: Summary The structure of the zona glomerulosa and the zona fasciculata of the newborn rat adrenal cortex has been studied by the light and the electron microscope. The ultrastructural features of the cells of both zones are described. By morphometric methods the relative volumes occupied by mitochondria and by lipid droplets have been evaluated. The “membrane profile concentration” (i.e. the average number of microns of smooth reticulum profiles per square micron of cytoplasm) has been also measured. The most significant ultrastructural differences between the cells of the two zones concern the mitochondria, the lipid droplets, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The mitochondria show typical lamellar cristae in the elements of the zona glomerulosa, and vesicular cristae in the cells of the zona fasciculata. They occupy the same relative volume in both elements. The lipid droplets and the smooth reticulum show no qualitative differences in the two cell types, but they are found in a larger amount in the cells of the zona fasciculata. These ultrastructural findings are discussed in relation to the numerous biochemical data, suggesting that the cells of the zona glomerulosa are resting elements at birth, while the cells of the zona fasciculata are active steroid-secreting elements already in late gestation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'auteur décrit en particulier à l'aide du microscope électronique les différentes couches constituant la paroi du proventricule de Syllidiens (Annélides Polychètes) en insistant spécialement sur celles (≪zones sous-épithéliales≫) situées de part et d'autre de la couche des muscles radiaires caractéristique de cet organe. II est montré que, contrairement à ce qu'il était admis jusqu'à présent, les ≪zones sous-épithéliales≫ sont constituées par des fibres de collagène noyées dans un matériel granuleux vraisemblablement de nature mucopolysaccharidique. D'autre part, un système d'attache particulier entre ≪zones sous-épithéliales≫ et musculature radiaire est mis en évidence. Les fibres de collagène de périodicité 560 Å constituent, autour de la musculature radiaire, un réseau à mailles rectangulaires hautement organisé. Dans l'assise la plus interne de ce réseau, les fibres sont allongées parallèlement à l'axe antéro-postérieur du Ver; dans l'assise la plus externe, elles sont disposées circulairement dans des plans transversaux. La signification de la présence de ces fibres de collagène (les seules existant dans tout le corps des Syllis étudiés) est évoquée. Les problèmes de leur origine et du rôle possible de cellules différenciées (musculaires) dans la synthèse de ce collagène sont analysés.
    Notes: Summary The layers of the wall of the proventriculus of Syllids (Annelids Polychetes) were studied, mainly with the aid of the electron microscope. The areas on both sides of the radial musculature (“subepithelial zones”) were given special attention. Contrary to previous views, it was shown that the subepithelial zones contain collagen fibrils within a granular material probably of mucopolysaccharide nature. Furthermore, a system of special attachment devices between subepithelial zones and radial musculature was demonstrated. The collagen fibrils (periodicity 560 Å) form a highly organized network with rectangular meshes around the radial musculature. In the innermost layer of this network, the fibers run parallel to the antero-posterior axis of the worm; in the outermost layer, they run circularly. The significance of the presence of these collagen fibers, the only in existence in the entire organism studied, is discussed. The problem of their origin, and the possible role played by differentiated (muscular) cells in the synthesis of this collagen are analyzed.

    Notes: Summary The structural changes of the zona juxtamedullaris of the rat adrenal cortex at birth, have been examined by the light and the electron microscope. In this zone clusters of medullary cells lying among the strands of cortical tissue were observed. In the inner portion of the zona juxtamedullaris two types of adrenocortical cells were found: light and very-dark cells. The latter are smaller than the light cells and are always in close connection with the medullary tissue. The ultrastructural features of the very-dark cells suggest that these elements are in degeneration. This finding supports the hypothesis that at birth there is a partial degeneration of the rat zona juxtamedullaris, i.e. the zone corresponding to the “fetal zone” of some mammalian species. It is proposed that in all mammalian species at birth there is a partial regression of the zona juxtamedullaris and that the regression of the “fetal zone” is only the quantitative increase of this phenomenon. This hypothesis is discussed in relation to numerous data demonstrating that there are enzymatic conditions in the rat during fetal life, which permit a discrete hypertrophy of the adrenal cortex.

    Notes: Summary In the brain of the cockroach Periplaneta americana, the beta lobes of the corpora pedunculata respond with an intense positive reaction to a specific fluorescence histochemical method for catecholamines. The fluorescence reaction disappears completely after prolonged treatment of the cockroaches with reserpine. An ultrastructural examination of the beta lobes in formaldehyde-glutaraldehyde-osmium fixed preparations reveals the presence of two types of fibres: 1) Fibres and nerve endings containing small clear vesicles and sligthly larger vesicles with a semi-dense content. The appearance and size distribution of these vesicles ist not affected by treatment with reserpine. 2) Fibres containing larger and denser vesicles, but practically no clear vesicles. The size distribution of these dense vesicles is only slightly affected by treatment of the cockroaches with reserpine. If brain slices are incubated in a medium containing noradrenaline or α-methyl-noradrenaline and fixed in permanganate, small vesicles with electron-dense central cores show up, similar to those which have been described in vertebrate adrenergic nerve fibres (“small granular vesicles”). They are confined to one of the two types of fibres (a and b) visible in these preparations, namely to type b, whose correspondence with type 2 fibres of formaldehyde-glutaraldehyde-osmium fixed preparations is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Feinstruktur der Photorezeptorzellen in der Epidermis, in kleineren Nervenästen und im Zerebralganglion von Lumbricus terrestris wurde untersucht. Das Vorhandensein eines zentralen, intrazellulären Lumens (Phaosom), das mit Mikrozotten gefüllt ist, erinnert in der Struktur der Photorezeptorzelle des Regenwurms an Lichtsinneszellen von Hirudo. Außer Mikrozotten findet man im Phaosom einige Zilien vom Typ 9×2+0; solche Zilien sind von den Mikrozotten strukturell unabhängig. Durch eine Aufzweigung des Phaosoms in kleinere Buchten, die tief in das umgebende Zytoplasma eindringen, erhält es ein labyrinthartiges Aussehen. Glatte Zisternen in Gruppen von 2 bis 5 wurden oft um das Phaosom im Zytoplasma beobachtet. Charakteristische Bestandteile der Zelle sind noch Vesikel und Vakuolen, die mit einer Substanz von wechselnder Elektronendichte gefüllt sind. Die Photorezeptorzellen werden von Gliazellen und Gliafortsätzen umgeben, die an vielen Stellen die Zelloberfläche tief einstülpen (Trophospongium).
    Notes: Summary Photoreceptor cells in the epidermis and nerve branches of the prostomium and in the cerebral ganglion of Lumbricus terrestris were investigated with the electron microscope. The photoreceptor cell is similar to the visual cell of Hirudo by having a central intracellular cavity (phaosome) filled with microvilli. Besides microvilli, several sensory cilia can also be found in the phaosome but they are structurally independent of the microvilli. A gradual branching of the phaosome cavity into smaller cavities makes its sectional profile extremely labyrinthic. Flattened smooth-surfaced cisternae in stacks of 2 to 5 are frequently observed around the phaosome. Characteristic constituents of the cytoplasm are vesicles and vacuoles filled with a substance of varying density. The photoreceptor cell is covered by glial cells or by their processes which at many places deeply invaginate the cell surface (trophospongium).

    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: Zusammenfassung Zwischen den eigentlichen Ependymzellen des Zentralkanals adulter Feuersalamander kommen amphorenartig gestaltete Elemente vor, die sich aufgrund ihrer synaptischen Kontakte mit Axonendigungen als Neurone identifizieren lassen. Diese intraependymalen Nervenzellen weisen einen apikalen Fortsatz auf, der sich mit einer warzen- oder knotenförmigen Protrusion in das Lumen des Zentralkanals erstreckt. Die Protrusion ist gewöhnlich mit stereozilienartigen Ausläufern besetzt. Die funktionelle Bedeutung der beschriebenen neuronalen Elemente konnte bisher nicht geklärt werden.
    Notes: Summary The ependyma of the canalis centralis of adult salamanders was examined by electron microscopy. Between the ependymal cells occur amphora-like elements identifiable as neurons by their synaptic contacts with axon terminals. These intraependymal nerve cells exhibit an apical outgrowth extending into the lumen of the canalis centralis with a wart-like or knob-like protrusion. The latter usually bears extensions resembling stereocilia. The functional significance of the neuronal elements is still unknown.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural studies of developing Asplanchna brightwelli embryos support the following hypothetical scheme of cuticle formation. First the external hypodermal membrane invaginates, and deposition of a dense intracellular layer commences next to this membrane. Then the rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes fibrous protein which is transferred to the Golgi complex. Here polysaccharide is synthesized and added to the protein, and the resulting filamentous complex is enclosed in large irregularly shaped vesicles which bud off from the Golgi elements. Maturation of the filamentous material to condensed cuticle material occurs as the vesicles move to the invaginations. Each vesicle fuses with an invagination, thus forming a hypodermal bulb; then the cuticle material is discharged through the neck of the bulb to its extracellular location. After the bulbs are formed, new, smaller, spherical vesicles begin to bud off from the Golgi elements. They too contain the filamentous complex which is refined to condensed cuticle material as the vesicles near the bulb. These vesicles fuse with the hypodermal bulbs contributing the cuticle and membrane necessary for the growth of the hypodermis of the embryo and newborn animal. Ruthenium red staining has confirmed that the cuticle consists of glycoprotein.
