    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'effet de doses quotidiennes, administrées depuis la naissance, de deux types de diphosphonates, à savoir l'éthane-1-hydroxyle-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) et le dichlorométhylène diphosphonate (Cl2MDP), sur la croissance et le squelette de souris a été étudié. Les diphosphonates freinent la croissance: les incisives ne font pas leur éruption ou elle est plus tardive. La calcémie est normale. L'administration de Cl2MDP à une dose quotidienne de 10 mg P/kg/jour provoque des modifications squelettiques identiques à celles des souris grises létales atteintes d'ostéopétrose et les animaux meurent après quatre semaines de traitement. Par rapport aux témoins, les souris traitées présentent des os plus étroits, plus denses et plus déformés: les cavités médullaires sont comblées avec de l'os calcifié et du cartilage. La quantité totale de calcium d'un animal n'est pas augmentée par traitement au diphosphonate, par rapport à un témoin de même âge. Chez les souris grises létales et celles traitées aux diphosphonates, la plupart des anomalies est secondaire à une résorption osseuse diminuée. Ces résultats sont commentés en fonction de l'emploi des diphosphonates au cours de remaniements osseux pathologiques augmentés et en fonction du rôle de la résorption osseuse dans le maintien de la calcémie.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Mäuse erhielten von der Geburt an tägliche Dosen folgender zwei Diphosphonate: entweder Äthan-1-Hydroxy-1,1-Diphosphonat (EHDP) oder Dichloromethylen-Diphosphonat (Cl2MDP). Es wurde deren Wirkung auf das Wachstum und das Skelet untersucht. Die Diphosphonate verlangsamten das Wachstum, die Schneidezähne brachen nicht oder erst später durch, aber die Höhe des Plasmacalciums blieb normal. Die Verabreichung von Cl2MDP in Dosen von 10 mg P/kg/Tag führt zu Skeletveränderungen, welche denjenigen der „grey-lethal” osteopetrotischen Mäuse gleichen. Die Tiere sterben nach einer Behandlungsdauer von etwa 4 Wochen. Verglichen mit normalen Mäusen von ungefähr gleichem Alter hatten die behandelten Mäuse kleinere, dichtere und mehr keulenförmige Knochen, und die Markhöhlen waren gefüllt mit verkalktem Knochen oder Knorpel. Die Gesamtcalciummenge im Skelet wurde durch die Diphosphonatbehandlung nicht erhöht; dies ergab sich aus einem Vergleich mit der bei normalen Mäusen desselben Alters gefundenen Menge. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß bei den „grey-lethal” und bei den Diphosphonat-behandelten Mäusen viele der Abnormalitäten als Folge der herabgesetzten Knochenresorption angesehen werden müssen. Die Ergebnisse werden einerseits im Hinblick auf den Gebrauch der Diphosphonate bei pathologischen Bedingungen eines erhöhten Knochenumbaus diskutiert; andererseits werden sie im Zusammenhang mit der Rolle der Knochenresorption bei der Erhaltung des Plasmacalcium-Spiegels besprochen.
    Notes: Abstract The effect of daily doses from birth of two diphosphonates, namely either ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) or dichloromethylene diphosphonate (Cl2MDP), on the growth and the skeleton of mice has been studied. Diphosphonates slowed growth, the incisors did not erupt or erupted later, but the level of plasma calcium remained normal. The administration of Cl2MDP at a dose rate of 10 mg P/kg/day leads to skeletal changes that are similar to those observed in grey-lethal osteopetrotic mice, and the animals die after about four weeks of treatment. As compared with normal mice of similar age, treated mice had bones that were smaller, denser and more clubshaped, and the marrow cavities were filled with calcified bone or cartilage. The total amount of calcium in the carcass was not increased by diphosphonate treatment, as compared with the amount in normal mice of the same age. It is suggested that both in the grey-lethal and diphosphonate-treated mice many of the abnormalities are secondary to decreased bone resorption. The results are discussed with respect to the use of diphosphonates in pathological conditions of increased bone turnover and with respect to the role of bone resorption in the maintenance of plasma calcium levels.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des souris, ayant reçu par voie intra-veineuse une solution d'acétate de plomb, sont injectés par voie sous-cutanée avec du sulfate de polymixine B. Au niveau de ce dernier point d'injection, on observe des calcifications. L'examen histologique montre une dégranulation des mastocytes, une vaso-dilatation locale ainsi qu'une diffusion d'ions à partir des vaisseaux. Après 24 heures, des ions calcium et phosphate sont présents. En outre. des groupes de souris, pré-injectées par voie intraveineuse avec de l'acétate de plomb, reçoivent des extraits de granules de mastocytes, comportant du phosphate d'histamine, du sulfate de créatinine sérotonine, de l'héparine, du sulfate de chondroitine ou de l'acide hyaluronique. Seules les injections de sérotonine et d'histamine, connues comme vaso-dilatateurs et augmentant probablement la perméabilité capillaire, provoquent des calcifications. Il semble que le rôle des mastocytes dans la calcification soit lié principalement à la production d'une vasodilatation locale, avec perméabilité capillaire augmentée, plutot qu'à une action de liaison initiale des ions métalliques.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Nachdem Mäusen Bleiacetatlösungen intravenös eingespritzt worden waren, erhielten die Tiere Polymixin-B-Sulfat subkutan. Dies führte zu Verkalkung an der zweiten Injektionsstelle. Die histologische Untersuchung zeigte eine deutliche degranulation der Mastzellen, eine lokale Vasodilatation und das Austreten von Bleiionen aus diesen Gefäßen 24 Std nach der Injektion konnte eine groß Menge von Calcium- und Phosphationen eindeutig nachgewiesen werden. Weiter wurden Gruppen von Mäusen, die vorher Bleiacetat intravenös erhalten hatten. Bestandteile von Mastzellen-Granula injiziert. Diese bestanden aus Histaminphosphat, Serotonin-Creatinin-Sulfat, Heparin, Chondroitin-Sulfat oder Hyaluronsäure. Unter diesen exogenen Bestandteilen bewirkten nur Serotonin und Histamin eine Verkalkung. Beide sind starke Vasodilatatoren und erhöhen vermutlich die kapillare Permeabilität. Es wird postuliert, daß die Rolle der Mastzelle in der “calcergy” viel eher auf einer lokalen Vasodilatation mit erhöhter kapillarer Permeabilität als auf einer primären Bindung der Metallionen beruht.
    Notes: Abstract Mice previously injected intravenously with lead acetate solution were injected subcutaneously with Polymixin B Sulphate. This resulted in calcification at the latter injection site. Histological evidence showed marked mast cell degranulation, local vasodilation and the efflux of lead ions from these vessels. At twenty four hours after injection abundant calcium and phosphate ions were readily demonstrated. In addition, groups of mice pre-injected intravenously with lead acetate, were injected with constituents of mast cell granules. These included histamine phosphate, serotonin creatinine sulphate, heparin, chondroitin sulphate or hyaluronic acid. Of these exogenous constituents used, calcification was found only after serotonin and histamine injections, both of which are potent vasodilators and presumbly increase capillary permeability. It is postulated that the role of the mast cell in calcergy may be mainly that of producing local vasodilation with increased capillary permeability rather than the initial binding of metallic ions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Deux diphosphonates, le disodium-éthane-1-hydroxyle-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) et le disodium dichlorométhylène diphosphonate (Cl2MDP), inhibent la résorption osseuse, induite par des cellules au niveau de calottes craniennes, cultivées pendant 48 heuresin vitro, lorsque ces substances sont ajoutées au milieu. Le Cl2MDP est plus actif que l'EHDP, à des doses variant 0–16 μg P/ml. Le pyrophosphate et l'imidodiphosphate n'inhibent pas la résorption osseuse à des doses comparables. Lorsque les deux diphosphonates sont injectés à des sourisin vivo avant mise en culture, la résorption osseuse observéein vitro est considérablement réduite: à une dose de 10 μg P/g de poids corporel de Cl2MDP, elle est presque totalement inhibée. Cet effet est rapide et dure plusieurs jours. Les conséquences de ces résultats et la méthode d'essai d'inhibiteurs de la résorption osseuse par la méthode combinéein vivo/ in vitro sont envisagées.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zwei Diphosphonate, Dinatrium-äthan-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonat (EHDP) und Dinatrium-Dichloromethylendiphosphonat (Cl2MDP), hemmen zellbedingte Knochenresorption von Mäuseschädeldächern, welche während 48 Stdin vitro kultiviert worden waren, wenn diese Substanzen dem Nährmedium zugegeben werden. Im Dosierungsbereich von 0–16 μg P/ml ist Cl2MDP wirksamer als EHDP. Pyrophosphat und Imidodiphosphat blockieren die Knochenresorption bei entsprechenden Dosen nicht. Wenn die zwei Diphosphonate Mäusenin vivo injiziert werden, bevor das Explantat hergestellt wird, ist die nachfolgende Knochenresorptionin vitro stark vermindert; bei einer Dosierung von 10 μg P/g Körpergewicht von Cl2MDP ist die Resorption fast gänzlich blockiert. Diese Wirkung erfolgt rasch und dauert während einigen Tagen an. Die Folgerungen aus diesen Ergebnissen sowie das Verfahren, Knochenresorptionshemmer mittels kombinierterin vivo/in vitro-Methode zu prüfen, werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Abstract Two diphosphonates, disodium ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) and disodium dichloromethyle diphosphonate (Cl2MDP), inhibit cell-mediated bone resorption of mouse calvaria cultivated for 48 hoursin vitro, when the compounds are added to the medium. Cl2MDP is more effective than EHDP over the dose range 0–16 μg P/ml. Pyrophosphate and imidodiophosphate do not block bone resorption at comparable dose levels. When the two diphosphonates are injected into micein vivo before explants are prepared, subsequent bone resorptionin vitro is considerably reduced; at a dose level of 10 μg P/g body weight of Cl2MDP it is almost completely blocked. This effect is rapid and persists for several days. The implications of these results and the method of testing inhibitors of bone resorption by the combinedin vivo/in vitro method are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Thorakalmark (Hinterhornbereich) einer Wildmaus wurde ein kleines Nervenzellperikaryon beobachtet, das vollständig von einer Markscheide umhüllt war. Die Zahl der Markscheidenlamellen variierte zwischen 7 und 12. An einer Stelle konnte ein sogenanntes inneres Mesoperikaryon nachgewiesen werden. Die Bedeutung dieses zufällig erhobenen Befundes ist vorerst noch offen.
    Notes: Summary In the thoracic cord (posterior horn region) of a wild mouse, we have observed a small nerve cell soma completely enveloped by a myelin sheath. The number of myelin lamellae varied between 7 and 12. In one place, the existence of an inner ‘mesoperikaryon’ could also be shown. The significance of this fortuitous finding has not yet been explained.

    Notes: Summary Anterior pituitaries of mice were incubated for periods up to four hours in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate glucose gassed with 95% O2∶5% CO2. The incubated explants survived and retained a fine structure that approximated the condition in situ. The few necrotic cells were sharply localized, and were found to be due to initial mechanical damage to the tissue. Some cells of the six granulated types exhibited slight but significant changes attributable to the liberation from the hypothalamic control: in LTH cells there was a release of preexisting granules and a development of cell organelles, whereas in other cell types there was an inhibition of release of granules and an enhanced digestion of the accumulated granules by the lysosomal system. Follicular cells responded uniquely to the changed environment by hypertrophy of the cytoplasm and were found to phagocytize cell debris. A part of non-epithelial elements of the gland showed a tendency to modulate cytologically.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das erste Auftreten der Glandulae olfactoriae in der olfaktorischen Region der Maus wird beschrieben. Die Struktur der Bowmanschen Drüse und ihre topologische Beziehung zu den übrigen zellulären Elementen im Riechepithel wird untersucht. Die Bedeutung des Sekrets für die Bildung des Deckhäutchens wird diskutiert. Die Bowmanschen Drüsen der Maus erreichen im letzten Viertel des intrauterinen Lebens die Lamina propria des Riechepithels. In den Endstücken finden sich dunkle, sekretreiche und helle, sekretarme Zellen. Die sezernierenden Zellen der Bowmanschen Drüsen sind nicht auf die Lamina propria beschränkt, sondern erstrecken sich bis in die untersten Anteile des Kernlagers im Riechepithel. Beim Austritt der Bowmanschen Drüsen aus dem Riechepithel in die Lamina propria konfluieren die Basalmembranen dieser Gewebeanteile miteinander. Die gemeinsame Basalmembran kann sich noch eine Strecke weit bis in den normalen Interzellularraum zwischen Drüsen- und Riechepithelanteilen einsenken. In den apikalen Anteilen des Riechepithels wird der Ausführungsgang von den benachbarten Sinnes- und Stützzellen nur durch eine normal breite Interzellularfuge getrennt. Im Ausführungsgang der Bowmanschen Drüse finden sich dunkle und helle auskleidende Zellen. Die durch Desmosomen miteinander verbundenen Epithelzellen der Ausführungsgänge zeigen Zeichen einer Sekretion. Die periphersten Ausläufer des Ausführungsgangepithels erstrecken sich lediglich bis in das Terminalplattenniveau der Stützzellen, mit denen sie sich durch desmosomenartige Kontaktzonen verbinden. In der Verlängerung der Ausführungsgänge wird das Lumen peripher des Terminalplattenniveaus von den apikalen Stützzellanteilen und deren Mikrovilli sowie von den obersten Anteilen der Dendriten, von den Riechköpfen und den Sinneshaaren der Rezeptorzellen umgrenzt. Im Lumen der Ausführungsgangverlängerung finden sich im Bereich des olfaktorischen Saumes flächenhafte Ansammlungen von Sekret. Das Sekret im intervillösen Raum des olfaktorischen Saumes zeigt eine besondere Affinität zu den Membranen der peripheren Sinneszellausläufer. In der intrauterinen Lebensphase ließ sich bisher kein Deckhäutchen feststellen. Die austrocknende Wirkung der Luft auf das Sekret der Bowmanschen Drüsen wird als Entstehungsmechanismus für das Deckhäutchen in Erwägung gezogen.
    Notes: Summary First appearance, structure and topological relations of Bowmans' glands in the regio olfactoria of white mice are described. The importance of these glands for the formation of the terminal mucous cover of the olfactory epithelium is discussed. In the last quarter of intrauterine life the glands of Bowman reach the lamina propria. In the terminal portion of the glands dark cells with many secretory droplets and pale cells with only a few of them can be seen. Secretory active cells are localized in the basal part of the olfactory epithelium as well. When entering the lamina propria the irregular wide basement membrane of the glands joins that one of the epithelium. It is possible to follow up this joined basement membrane for a short distance between the glands and the cells of the olfactory epithelium. Peripheral to the very basal part of the olfactory epithelium there is no basement membrane around the glands' tissue. Receptors and sustentacular cells are separated from the gland only by a normal intercellular space. The epithelium of the ducts consists of dark and light cells as well. They are connected with the sustentacular cells by desmosomelike contacts. In its prolongation the lumen of Bowman's duct is lined by the apical portions of the sustentacular cells and their microvilli, and by dendrites, olfactory vesicles, and sensory cilia of the receptor cells. In the region of cilia and microvilli one can see masses of secretion which have confluenced. In the intervillous space its special affinity to the receptor's membranes is evident. During the intrauterine phase of life no terminal mucous cover could be demonstrated. The drying effect of the air as a possible reason for the origin of the terminal mucous cover is discussed.

    Notes: Summary This ultrastructural study confirms and extends the light microscope findings of Bryan (1971) concerning the presence and developmental fate of multinucleate spermatids. Four main classes of cells: uninucleate-individual, uninucleate-conjoined, multinucleate-conjoined, and multinucleate-individual, were identified along with a few instances of more complex syncytial organizations. When the respective nuclei in a given multinucleate are far enough apart, each develops autonomously but in synchrony with its neighbors. When nuclei are intimately associated, the “normal” pattern of spermiogenesis may be altered, giving rise to highly bizarre spermatozoa. Commonly, a single Golgi complex serves a pair of nuclei and gives rise to a “T-shaped” acrosome which binds the nuclei together. During the ensuing nuclear elongation phase, such units are invested by a single manchette. Pairs of axonemes within a common plasma membrane have also been encountered. These ultrastructural findings indicate that multinucleate spermatids are true components (not artifacts) of the seminiferous epithelium of normal animals. The presence of such cells and the unusual developmental consequences which can arise as a result of the multinucleate state must be taken into account when evaluating the course of spermatogenesis in cases of mutation- or chemically-induced infertility.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of an antigenic material specific for the cervicovaginal epithelium (CVA) was studied in the vaginal epithelium of the adult mouse with immunofluorescence and immunoferritin techniques. The antigen localization has been correlated to the fine structure of the vaginal epithelium in various states of functional activity. The antigen distribution in adult ovariectomized mice and in ovariectomized mice treated with estradiol was compared with that in normal cycling mice. CVA was found to be associated with the exterior of the cell membrane of vaginal epithelium cells, being part of the glycocalyx. Two cell types, mucous or keratinized, are derived from the germinative cell layer of the vaginal epithelium, depending on the hormonal environment. Mucous cells with morphological features that characterize cells about to cornify have been demonstrated. Fluorescence as well as ferritin particles, indicating the presence of antigen-antibody complexes, were seen within the mucous droplets of the mucous cells. The CVA production is apparently connected with vaginal mucus formation. The CVA distribution in the adult vaginal epithelium is discussed in relation to the distribution demonstrated earlier in the cervicovaginal epithelium of neonatal mice.

    Notes: Summary The arcuate nucleus of untreated (control) and castrated adult mice was studied with the electron microscope. Nucleolus-like bodies (NLB) were found in the cytoplasm and occasionally in the dendrites of arcuate neurons. NLB were spherical or ovoid, 0.7–1.5µm in diameter; they were composed of granules 100–150 Å and 200 Å in diameter, and filaments ∼70 Å in diameter. NLB were frequently associated with free ribosomes and cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Light microscopic studies with basic dyes and enzymatic digestions showed that these bodies contained some RNA. There was no significant change in the number of NLB in castrated animals.

    Notes: Summary Follicular cells in the mouse adenohypophysis were studied electron microscopically. These elements appear to be very similar to the marginal cells that delineate both sides of the hypophyseal cleft. The mouse differs from most other species in that the follicular cells in the pars distalis and the marginal cells look completely inactive in young, intact animals. This makes the mouse exceptionally favorable for correlating morphological changes in the cells of both types with changes in the physiological state of the animal. Different treatments applied in the present investigation all induced morphological reactions in the follicular and/or marginal cells; these reactions were generally similar. Thus, morphological changes in the follicular or marginal cells should be considered as general phenomena accompanying many changes in the physiological state of the animal, rather than as a specific result of the treatment applied. In three experiments, the follicular and marginal cells were involved in the digestion of waste material from other cells. It is suggested that the morphological changes in the other experiments should also be interpreted as signs of such an activity. In the pars tuberalis of the young, intact mouse the follicular cells may show characteristics that in the pars distalis are found only under experimental conditions. Therefore, the follicular cells in this part of the hypophysis are probably in an active state.

    Notes: Summary The tracheo-bronchial mucosa of the mouse has been found to contain an extensive system of argyrophilic epithelial cells. In the trachea the cells morphologically resemble enterochromaffin cells. Normally, these enterochromaffin-like cells contain no fluorogenic amine, as revealed by the Falck-Hillarp formaldehyde technique. On the other hand the cells have the capacity to take up and decarboxylate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) or 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP); the amine formed is stored in the cytoplasm in a reserpine-sensitive store. This capacity to produce and store amines under experimental conditions may reflect the presence in the tracheal enterochromaffin-like cells of an amine which can not be demonstrated with available fluorescence histochemical techniques. In the electron microscope the tracheal enterochromaffin-like cells were identified by a positive argyrophil reaction and by their capacity to accumulate radioactivity after administration of 3H-DOPA or 3H-5-HTP as revealed by autoradiography. The radioactive labelling was associated with cytoplasmic electron-dense granules (800–1000 Å), suggesting that the amine formed was stored in these granules. Accordingly, the granules stained argentaffin after DOPA-pre-treatment of the animal. It is suggested that, like similar cells in the gastric mucosa, these argyrophilic enterochromaffin-like cells constitute an endocrine system in which amines are of cytophysiological importance.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das chromaffine Gewebe im Ganglion cervicale uteri der Maus wurde licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch in verschiedenen Funktionsstadien des Genitale untersucht. Die Befunde decken sich weitgehend mit den bisher bekannten Beobachtungen an extraadrenalem, chromaffinem Gewebe anderer Lokalisation. 1. Das chromaffine Gewebe besteht aus granulahaltigen Paraganglienzellen und Hüllzellen, die Schwannschen Zellen gleichen. 2. Die Granula der Paraganglienzellen sind sehr kontrastreich und von einer Membran umhüllt, die größeren Abstand von ihrem dichten Inhalt haben kann. 3. Gelegentlich sind die Paraganglienzellen mit Zilien ausgestattet. 4. Zellen mit wenig Granula haben ein kräftiger ausgebildetes rauhes endoplasmatisches Retikulum als Zellen mit hohem Granulagehalt. 5. Die paraganglionären Zellen haben keine besondere Beziehung zum Gefäßsystem. 6. Die Paraganglienzellen stehen mit Nervenendingungen durch Synapsen in Kontakt, die sowohl überwiegend synaptische Bläschen als auch überwiegend „dense core vesicles” enthalten können. Sie scheinen also sowohl durch cholinerge als auch durch adrenerge Innervation kontrolliert zu werden. 7. Unterschiede in der Ultrastruktur der Paraganglienzellen konnten nur zwischen ausgewachsenen und infantilen Tieren festgestellt werden. Letztere haben einen höheren Anteil an Zellen mit wenig Granula. 8. Die Befunde scheinen für eine lokale endokrine Beeinflussung der Nervenzellen des Ganglion cervicale uteri durch Abgabe von Katecholaminen aus den Paraganglienzellen zu sprechen.
    Notes: Summary The chromaffin tissue in the ganglion cervicale uteri of mice was investigated in different functional stages of their reproductive system by light and electron microscopy. The observations correspond to the findings obtained in extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue localized in other regions. 1. The chromaffin tissue consists of granule containing paraganglionic cells and of surrounding cells that resemble Schwann cells. 2. Occasionally the paraganglionic cells possess cilia. 3. The granules in the cytoplasm of paraganglionic cells are very electron dense and are enveloped by a membrane that forms a vesicle with a diameter either corresponding to that of the granule or considerably larger than the latter. 4. Cells with little granules have a better developed rough endoplasmic reticulum than cells with a great number of granules. 5. The paraganglionic cells have no special relationships to blood vessels. 6. The paraganglionic cells are innervated by synapses that possess synaptic vesicles and by synapses that show accumulations of dense core vesicles. The paraganglionic cells seem to be under the control of cholinergic and adrenergic innervation. 7. Differences of ultrastructure of the paraganglionic cells were seen only between adult and infantile animals. The latter have a greater number of cells containing only a small quantity of granules. 8. The findings suggest the hypothesis of a local endocrine influence of the paraganglionic cells on the neurons of the ganglion cervicale uteri by release of catecholamines.

On the luminal border, estradiol treatment caused development of distinct microvilli and a prominent surface coat of delicate filamentous material. Very deep nuclear folds appeared, and the border between adjacent cells became strongly interdigitated. The cells developed a pronounced smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, and dark-stained membrane-bounded granules accumulated in the apical part of the cells. Estradiol promoted increased production of an antigenic material specific for the cervicovaginal epithelium (CVA). Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated CVA in the most apical part of the cells, in the extracellular material on the epithelial surface, and in the intercellular spaces between adjacent epithelial cells. This was confirmed by immunoferritin methods, which revealed that the antigen was localized to the surface coat and to material adhering closely to the exterior of the cell membrane, the part facing the lumen and also the part facing intercellular spaces. Within the cells, ferritin tagging was recognized around the membranes enclosing the dark-stained granules in the apical part of the cells and also on the inside of the luminal cell membrane. This is so interpreted that CVA acquires its antigenic properties when passing out from the dark-stained granules through the surrounding envelope. CVA apparently forms part of the glycocalyx of the cervicovaginal cells.

    Notes: Summary The mitotic and pyknotic indices were calculated over a period of 24 hrs in four different zones of the mouse thymus (Balb/C). Counts were based on 1 micron sections of Epon-embedded tissue. This technique gives a more accurate mitotic index than has been calculated in the past because mitotic figures in the prophase stage are more easily recognizable. Mitotic as well as pyknotic index showed a distinct diurnal rhythm in the subcapsular zone, the rhythm being less distinct towards the medulla, where no significant diurnal fluctuations were demonstrated. It was shown that the index variations could be correlated to significant variations in the mitotic time.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les fibres nerveuses renfermant des vésicules granuleuses et des vésicules de type synaptique apparaissent dans l'éminence médiane de foetus de 14 jours. Dés le 18è jour foetal, de véritables terminaisons nerveuses sont au contact des capillaires du plexus intercalaire, constituant une charnière neurohémale. Les anses intrainfundibulaires commencent à pénétrer dans l'éminence médiane à la naissance mais ce n'est que chez des souris de 5 jours qu'elles deviennent très nombreuses. — Nous discuterons sur des critères morphologiques, de la possibilité d'un contrôle hypothalamique sur l'adénohypophyse avant la naissance.
    Notes: Summary Nerve fibers containing granular vesicles and vesicles closely resembling synaptic vesicles appear in the median eminence of 14 days old mouse fetuses. At 18th fetal day true nerve endings have been observed which are located close to the capillaries of the superficial plexus forming a neurovascular link. The capillary loops penetrate into the median eminence at the time of parturition but only in 5 days old mice they can be observed more frequently. — On the basis of the morphological observations presented the question is discussed whether the hypothalamus can influence pituitary hormone secretion before birth.

    Notes: Summary In mice most of the ependymal cells of the subcommissural organ (SCO cells) are densely packed with dilated cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) containing either finely granular or flocculent materials. The well developed supra-nuclear Golgi apparatus consists of stacks of flattened saccules and small vesicles; the two or three outer Golgi saccules are moderately dilated and exhibit numerous fenestrations; occasional profiles suggesting the budding of coated vesicles and formation of membrane-bound dense bodies from the ends of the innermost Golgi saccules are seen. A few coated vesicles and membrane-bound dense bodies of various sizes and shapes are also found in the Golgi region. The contents of the dilated ER cisternae are stained with periodic acid-silver methenamine techniques. In the Golgi complex the two or three inner saccules are stained as deeply as the dense bodies, and the outer saccules are only slightly stained. The stained contents of ER cisternae are more electron opaque than those of the outer but less opaque than those of the inner Golgi saccules and the dense bodies. Acid phosphatase activities are localized in the dense bodies, some of the coated vesicles in the Golgi region, and in the one or two inner Golgi saccules. On the basis of these results the following conclusions have been reached: (1) In mouse SCO cells the finely granular and the flocculent materials in the lumen of ER cisternae contain a complex carbohydrate(s) which is secreted into the ventricle to form Reissner's fiber; (2) the secretory substance is assumed to be synthesized by the ER and stored in its cisternae, and the Golgi apparatus might play only a minor role, if any, in the elaboration of the secretory material; (3) most of the dense bodies in the mouse SCO cells are lysosomal in nature instead of being so-called dark secretory granules.

    Notes: Summary Many mature Leydig cells of adult mice contain annular nucleoli. In the cytoplasm of these cells, there is an abundance of agranular endoplasmic reticulum and its modifications, i.e. membranous whorls and double-walled tubules. By contrast, the cytoplasm of Leydig cells with compact nucleoli shows abundant free ribosomes and granular endoplasmic reticulum. It is assumed that the granular endoplasmic reticulum shifts to the agranular endoplasmic reticulum and its modifications during the differentiation of the Leydig cell. For the maturation of the Leydig cell the annular nucleoli may play an important role.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural studies have revealed the presence of unusual membrane complexes within developing mouse oocytes. These structures, most obvious 18 days post fertilization, are found in the nucleus or cytoplasm of cells in meiotic prophase. The complexes, usually found in small groups, are characterized by a slightly bowed appearance, and a thin middle section that is vesiculated at each end. At high magnification the middle section exhibits a pentalaminar structure similar to tight junctional complexes, while the looped membranes of the vesiculated ends are trilaminar in appearance. In addition to being free in the nucleoplasm or cytoplasm, the complexes are also seen in continuity with the inner and outer leaflets of the nuclear envelope, and with typical membranes forming cytoplasmic tubular systems. The possible formation of these complexes from blebs or vesicles derived from the nuclear envelope is presented and the role that these structures may play in developing oocytes is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Au cours du passage de la vie foetale à la vie postnatale, on note, dans le foie de souris, l'apparition d'associations jonctions-organites cellulaires. Celles-ci cont de deux types: associations desmosomes-organites et associations nexus-organites. 1.Associations nexus-organites. Le long de la «gap junction» sont étroitement accolés, uni ou bilatéralement, divers organites: mitochondrie(s), subsurface cisterna(e), peroxysome(s) ou lysosome. Ces associations n'apparaissent qu'entre le 21ème jour de la gestation et le ler jour post-natal, période à partir de laquelle ils disparaissent au profit d'associations desmosomes-organites cellulaires. Un nouveau type de structure s'associe dans le foie aux membranes plasmatiques: il s'agit des saccules ergastoplasmatiques ou subsurface cisternae. 2.Associations desmosomes-organites. Dans ces complexes, les tonofilaments desmosomiques entrent étroitement en contact avec la paroi des organites cellulaires associés: mitochondrie ou peroxysome. Déjà présents au 13ème jour de la gestation, ces structures s'observent plus fréquemment à partir du ler jour post-natal. La signification de ces associations reste à déterminer, d'autant plus que leur présence a déjà été signalée dans de trés nombreux tissus. Quelques hypothèses sont présentées.
    Notes: Summary During the transition between the fetal and postnatal periods associations between cell junctions and cell organelles appear in the liver of the mouse. These associations are of two types: desmosome-organelle and nexus-organelle. 1.Nexus-Organelles Association. Unilaterally or bilaterally, various organelles — mitochondria, cysternae, microbodies or lysosomes — adhere tightly along the gap. These associations appear only between the 21st day of gestation and the first postnatal day. Thereafter they gradually disappear and are replaced by desmosome-organelle associations. Another type of structure — ergastoplasmic saccules or cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum — become associated with the cell membrane. 2.Desmosome-Organelle Associations. In these complexes the desmosomal microfilaments are in close contact with membranes of the associated organelles — mitochondria or peroxysomes. The associations, which exist as early as the 13th day of gestation increase after the first postnatal day. The significance of these associations remains to be ascertained, especially since they occur in many other tissues. A few hypotheses are presented.
