THE EFFECT OF CARBON DIOXIDE TENSION ON THE METABOLISM OF CEREBRAL CORTEX AND MEDULLA OBLONGATA

Manometric measurements were made of oxygen uptake (Q _OO2) and aerobic lactic acid output (Q_G) by slices of cerebral cortex and medulla oblongata of the cat in the presence of mixtures of 1, 5, and 20 volumes per cent of carbon dioxide in oxygen. The concentrations of NaHCO₃ and NaCl in the medium were varied to maintain constant pH and sodium ion concentrations. The calcium ion concentration was 0.0002 M. At pH 7.5 under these conditions, an increase in carbon dioxide from 1 per cent to 5 per cent doubled the Q_G of both tissues but did not alter Q _OO2; an increase from 5 per cent to 20 per cent carbon dioxide had no further effect on Q_G in either tissue or Q _OO2 of cortex, but did depress the Q _OO2 of medulla. At pH 8.1, an increase in carbon dioxide from 1 per cent to 5 per cent raised the Q _OO2 and Q_G of cortex by about 60 per cent. Measurements at low oxygen tension carried out previously in phosphate medium were repeated in bicarbonate medium to obtain data for the combined output of lactic acid and carbon dioxide (Q_A). When the oxygen in the gas phase was decreased from 95 to 3 volumes per cent, the lactic acid output as measured colorimetrically increased by 114 mg./gm. in cortex and by 8 mg./gm. in medulla; Q_A increased from 12.3 to 13.5 in cortex and decreased from 5.1 to 3.8 in medulla.     

REVIVAL OF MAMMALIAN SPERM AFTER IMMERSION IN LIQUID NITROGEN

1. A wide variety of procedures was used to test the motility of mammalian sperm after plunging them into liquid nitrogen at –195°C. and later rapidly warming them to 35°C. by plunging them into a suitable balanced and isotonic medium. 2. Using seminal fluid sperm from the same human donor, maximal numbers of motile sperm survived vitrification when the samples were (a) very fresh, (b) untreated with plasmolysing solutions, (c) plunged into the refrigerant in the form of a foam. The maximum yield of motile human sperm recoverable from the liquid nitrogen was 50 per cent. Since in this sample only 75 per cent of the sperm were alive before immersion, 67 per cent of the living sperm survived vitrification. 3. Experiments with sperm from 31 rabbits were made with a variety of conditions of pretreatment to obtain maximal yields of recoverable, motile sperm after vitrification by liquid nitrogen. (a) A consistent recoverable yield of about 0.5 per cent was obtained when the untreated suspension of sperm was smeared on cellophane and partially dried in air before immersing in liquid nitrogen. (b) On a few out of many occasions plasmolysis for several minutes with hypertonic Ringer solution gave a recoverable yield of 0.1 per cent as did (c) pretreatment with hypertonic Ringer and butyric acid.

重液浮选对花粉浓度计算的影响

用重液浮选方法可获得富集、清洁的孢粉制片,但在浮选过程中不可避免地会在丢弃的底样中留下相当数量的孢粉。本文定量地探讨这些残留孢粉在重液不同比重条件下对花粉浓度计算的影响,结果表明,在重液浮选中,不同类型孢粉的漂浮率有所不同,并因此造成浓度计算中的误差,误差的大小因孢粉类型和重液比重的不同而不同,大体在1—15%之间。     

THE EFFECT OF LOW OXYGEN TENSION ON TISSUE METABOLISM (RETINA)

Lactic acid production by rat retina in a medium containing phosphate was studied chemically. One half as much lactic acid was found as in a medium containing bicarbonate. In our experience the rate of respiration in a phosphate medium was sensitive to oxygen tension, for it was 38 per cent lower at 10 per cent and 51 per cent lower at 5 per cent oxygen than at 100 per cent oxygen. Previously Laser had reported no decrease in respiration at 5 per cent oxygen in phosphate medium. In phosphate medium, when the oxygen tension was varied, respiration and glycolysis bore a reciprocal relationship to each other. In bicarbonate medium, when the oxygen tension was lowered from 95 per cent to 5 per cent there was no significant change in the respiration, but glycolysis was increased nearly to the anaerobic level. This agrees with the earlier experiment of Laser in bicarbonate medium and adds support to his conclusion that the rate of glycolysis is controlled by oxygen tension rather than by the rate of respiration, under the conditions of the experiment.     

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ISOLATED CHROMOSOMES

By means of 1 M NaCl isolated lymphocyte chromosomes can be separated into two fractions, each of which contains nucleoprotein. The fraction soluble in M NaCl consists largely of desoxyribose nucleohistone, and constitutes 90 to 92 per cent of the mass of the chromosome. The insoluble residue (the residual chromosome is a coiled thread containing some 12 to 14 per cent of ribose nucleic and about one-fifth as much desoxyribose nucleic acid; the residual chromosome accounts for 8 to 10 per cent of the mass of the chromosome. The staining of chromosomes—whether by the Feulgen procedure, by hematoxylin, orcein, or by basic dyes such as crystal violet—is due to the nucleohistone fraction which contains about 96 per cent of the nucleic acid of the chromosome. The form of the chromosome is due primarily to the protein thread of the residual chromosome. This thread is the only linear structure of microscopic dimensions in the chromosome that is not readily dispersed. When chromosomes are broken, it must be supposed that a break is made in the protein thread of the residual chromosome. The foregoing provides evidence for considering the residual chromosome to be the basis of the linear order of the genes. This would mean either that the residual chromosome is a structure around which the genes are organized or that the genes form part of its substance.     

TIME RELATIONS OF GROWTH : III. GROWTH CONSTANTS DURING THE SELF-ACCELERATING PHASE OF GROWTH.

Growth curves consist, in all cases, of two major segments. The first major segment is, in the case of higher animals and plants, made up in turn of several (probably five) shorter segments during each of which growth takes place at a constant percentage rate. The transitions between the successive stages are abrupt, the abruptness being of the order of metamorphosis in cold blooded animals. It has been made clear in the first paper of this series that the time rate of growth following the major inflection declines at a constant percentage rate. The junction between the two major segments occurs at puberty in animals and flowering in plants. The two major segments are not symmetrical about the major inflection. The slope of the segment following the inflection is always less than the slope of the segment preceding the inflection. The major inflection does not occur in the center of the growth curve. The instantaneous rate of growth at the beginning of growth is of the order of 100–200 per cent per day (i.e. the body weight is doubled in from 7 to 17 hours). It may be mentioned that 2 months after conception the rate of growth in man is only 8 per cent per day. This is contrary to all the published statements. Thus, Minot concluded that growth begins at 1000 per cent per day; Jackson concluded that in man, growth during the 1st month takes place at 57.5 million per cent per month; during the 2nd month 990 per cent per month; during the 3rd month 390 per cent per month (8 per cent per day is only 240 per cent per month). The reason for the discrepancy between the values derived, by the method adopted by the writer, and the values given in the literature is explained by Fig. 1.     

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IN THE MEDULLA OF THE RAT BRAIN. REPRODUCIBILITY OF THE RESULTS

Abstract— [¹⁴C]Leucine was injected intracranially into the brainstem reticular formation at the level of the upper medulla by the stereotaxic method. Subcellular fractions prepared 3 hr after injection showed that the specific activities of leucine-incorporated proteins decreased in the order soluble, microsomal, nuclear and mitochondrial fractions. Specific activities of proteins in the sera were 2·2 per cent of whole homogenate proteins.
The results from 27 experiments showed that 66·6 per cent of the mean specific activities of proteins extracted from whole homogenates fell within ·1 s.d . and 100 per cent within ± 2 s.d . (close to a normal distribution). The coefficients of variation were between 40 and 50 per cent for whole homogenates, sera and all subcellular fractions. Reproducibility of results and factors concerned with possible errors in the technique are discussed.     

SUSTAINED DRUG-INDUCED ELEVATION OF BRAIN GABA IN THE RAT1

Abstract— The contents of GABA, homocarnosine, and β-alanine can be raised in rat brain for long periods of time by the continued administration of phenelzine, aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA), or isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH). These 3 compounds apparently act by preferential inhibition of the enzyme GABA aminotransferase (GABA-T). Oral administration of phenelzine (20 mg/kg per day) caused a 25–50 per cent increase in GABA levels in rat brain, but produced appreciable toxic side effects. A similar increase in GABA levels in brain resulted from oral administration to rats of INH in a dosage of 60 mg/kg per day, without production of any obvious toxic effects. Simultaneous administration of large doses of pyridoxine did not abolish the GABA-elevating effect of INH. Brain GABA levels in the rat were increased by approx. 50 per cent by daily injections of AOAA (2.5 mg/kg per day). At this low dosage, AOAA injections in rats could be continued for at least 6 weeks without producing evident toxic effects. Oral administration of large amounts of GABA, on the other hand, failed to increase the content of GABA in the brains of rats not treated with GABA-T inhibitors, and failed to produce any further increase of brain GABA levels in rats treated with AOAA.     

THE TREATMENT OF METASTATIC BREAST CANCER IN BONE

The author report clinical experience with 212 cases of mammary cancer metastatic to bone, in 186 of which radiotherapy was given, and in 26 steroid hormone therapy.At least 70 per cent of patients with bone metastasis from breast cancer were relieved of pain by adequate roentgen therapy, the relief lasting for most of the survival time in many instances.About 25 per cent of patients had recalcification or reossification of bony lesions with roentgen therapy; while dramatic, this is not always an indication that relief of pain will continue or that survival time will be lengthened.If and when adequate radiotherapy has not been effective or cannot be administered (for example, in a patient with extremely widespread metastasis, or one residing at a considerable distance from radiotherapeutic service) steroid hormone therapy in adequate dosage is frequently beneficial. From 40 per cent to 75 per cent of patients with bone metastases from breast cancer are relieved of pain by steroid hormone therapy. In about 15 per cent of cases recalcification of the lesion occurs.Effective roentgen therapy may usually be given in a relatively brief period of time (one to two weeks). Effective steroid hormone therapy usually requires from 12 to 24 weeks.Complications of steroid hormone therapy are numerous. Some patients are made considerably worse by such therapy. These complications may only be controlled by reduction or discontinuation of the hormones. For this reason, it is recommended that irradiation always be used as the initial method of palliation.
