Das endoplasmatische Retikulum subletal bestrahlter Hühnerherzmyoblasten im Dienste des Stofftransportes

Zusammenfassung Durch eine kombinierte elektronenmikroskopisch-histochemische Methode nach Komnick wurden Natrium- und Chloridionen im proximalen Tubulusepithel der Rattenniere dargestellt. Während die als Natriumanimonat gefällten Natriumionen intrazellulär — d. h. intracytoplasmatisch, intramitochondrial, intranukleär — und extracellulär in den zwischenzelligen Faltenräumen vorkommen, beschränkt sich die Lokalisation der als AgCl gefällten Chloridionen weitgehend auf die Räume zwischen den einzelnen Tubulusepithelien.Die Möglichkeit einer passiven interzellulären Diffusion des Chloridions und eines aktiven transzellulären Transports des Natriumions wird diskutiert.

Summary Sodium and chloride ions are localized in the proximal tubule cells of the rat kidney by a combined electron-microscopic-histochemical method after Komnick. Sodium ions, precipitated as sodium-antimonate, are found in the cytoplasm, the mitochondrial matrix, and the nucleoplasm as well as extracellularly.Chloride ions, precipitated as AgCl, are mainly localized between adjacent tubule cells.The possibility of a passive intercellular diffusion of chloride ions and an active transcellular transport of sodium ions is discussed.

Der Einfluß des Zeugungsalters auf die Mutationen zu Hämophilie A

Assuming that in sibships with sporadic hemophilia the mothers of the patients are already carriers the relationship between the age of the mother's father at birth of the mother and frequency of hemophilia among his grandsons was examined.The ages of the mother's father at birth of the mother of 40 patients with sporadic hemophilia A was compared with that of a control-group as well as with the ages of the mother's fathers at birth of the mothers of patients from families where hemophilia A is inherited. The mean age of these grandfathers was found to be increased. Using the Mann-Whitney-U-test for comparing the ages of grandfathers of sporadic cases with the control-group there is to be found P=.0025, which is highly significant statistically. Comparing data from sibships with sporadic hemophilia with data from sibships where hemophilia is inherited there is no significant difference — perhaps according to the small number of inherited cases (19, P=0.065) —, but the deviation is in the same direction. Comparison of data both from the inherited cases and the control-group with data of sporadic cases gives P=.0087.There is perhaps a connection between parental age and number of children, but it is shown to have no important influence in our material. On the other hand fathers with a higher number of children are significant more frequent among the grandfathers than among the controls. This difference cannot be explained sufficiently. Between cases of sporadic and inherited hemophilia there is no clear cut difference.Certainly there exists a relationship between parental age and birth-rank. Therefore the mothers of sporadic cases — unlike to carriers of sibships with inherited hemophilia — take clearly higher ranks in birth-order than it is theoretically to be expected. Penrose published a method of separating the relative aetiological effects of birth-order and parental age. Using this method an influence of birth-order cannot be found after excluding the influence of parental age. Hence, paternal age seems to be the determining factor.It is discussed which model of mutation the hemophilia-mutation belongs to because of this relationship. We would count it to No. 2 of the classification given by Vogel where mutations are due to copy errors. So cases of sporadic hemophilia seem equal to those of sporadic achondroplasia.

Enzymhistochemische Untersuchungen an der Harderschen Drüse des Kaninchens

Zusammenfassung In der Harderschen Drüse von Kaninchen wurden mit der Tetrazoliumtechnik die Enzyme NADH-Tetrazoliumreduktase (NADH-T-Red), NADPH-Tetrazoliumreduktase (NADPH-T-Red), NAD-spezifische Isocitrat-Dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH), Succinat-Dehydrogenase (SDH), NAD-spezifische Malat-Dehydrogenase (NAD-MDH), Laktat-Dehydrogenase (LDH), Glucose-6-phosphat-Dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH),-Glycerophosphat-Dehydrogenase (GPDH) und-Hydroxybuttersäure-Dehydrogenase (HBDH) histochemisch nachgewiesen und ihr Verteilungsbild in den beiden Drüsenlappen studiert. Darüber hinaus wurden histochemische Reaktionen auf folgende Enzyme durchgeführt: Cytochromoxydase (nachBurston), Leucinaminopeptidase (nachNachlas,Crawford undSeligman), alkalische Phosphatase (nachGomori), ATPase (nachPadykula undHerman). Fette wurden mit Scharlachrot und Sudan Schwarz B gefärbt. Die histochemisch faßbare Aktivitätsverteilung der Enzyme geht aus der Tabelle 1 hervor. Die Befunde werden diskutiert.

Summary A study was conducted to investigate the distribution pattern of various enzymes in both lobes of the Harder gland in rabbits by means of the tetrazolium technique [NADH-tetrazoliumreductase (NADH-T-Red), NADPH-tetrazolium-reductase (NADPH-T-Red), NAD-specific isocitrate-dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH), succinate-dehydrogenase (SDH), NAD-specific malate-dehydrogenase (NAD-MDH), lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH),-glycerophosphate-dehydrogenase (GPDH), and-hydroxy-butyrate-dehydrogenase (HBDH)]. In addition histochemical tests for the determination of cytochrome-oxidase (Burston), leucine-amino-peptidase (Nachlas,Crawford andSeligman), alkaline phosphatase (Gomori), and ATP-ase (Padykula andHerman) were carried out. Fets were stained with Scharlach-red and Sudan black B. The results of the histochemically determinable enzyme activities are listed in table 1. The findings are discussed.

CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN COMPOSITAE V. ASTEREAE II.

Reports of 100 new chromosome counts are made for the tribe Astereae of Compositae, mostly based on determinations of meiotic material, including first counts for 9 genera and 53 species. Counts are now available for 58 of the approximately 100–120 genera and 431 of the approximately 2000 species in the tribe. Comparisons are made between chromosome number and habit and also between chromosome number and geographical distribution. Species and genera with a basic number of x = 9 are the most abundant. Within different phyletic lines x = 9 is also the most abundant number. On the other hand, many species with x = 4 and 5, belonging to a number of small, largely annual genera, are concentrated in southwestern North America. The low chromosome number in these plants is probably correlated with the dry habitat they occupy, and is most likely a specialized condition.
