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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Lors de la régénération traumatique des yeux de Lineus ruber la différenciation biochimique des nouvelles cellules pigmentaires est séquentielle. On assiste à l'apparition successive des chaînes enzymatiques nécéssaires à la biosynthèse de porphyrine et de mélanine. Les études ultrastructurale et autoradiographique à haute résolution de ces phénomènes — montrent que la mélanisation s'opère au niveau “d'organites” cellulaires spécialisés (prémélanosomes, mélanosomes). La porphyrinogénèse se développe dans des vacuoles et organites d'origine golgienne qui participent également à la mélanogénèse.
    Notes: Summary In Lineus ruber the biochemical differentiation of the new pigmentary cells is sequential during the reparative regeneration of the eyes. The enzymatic pathways for porphyrin and melanin biosynthesis appear successively. Ultrastructural and high resolution radioautography studies, show that melanization occurs in specialized organelles called premelanosomes, melanosomes and melanin granules. Prophyrogenesis occurs in Golgi vesicles which are also involved in melanogenesis.

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