Chromosomenabnormitäten und Behandlung mit Imuran® (Azathioprin) nach Nierentransplantationen

Zusammenfassung 19 Patienten, die nach einer Nierentransplantation mit Imuran behandelt wurden, wiesen eine erhöhte Anzahl Chromosomenabnormitäten im Vergleich zu 30 gesunden Kontrollpersonen der gleichen Altersklasse auf. Keine signifikant erhöhte Anzahl an Chromosomenabnormitäten fand sich jedoch bei 7 Patienten, die vor und unter der Imuran-behandlung untersucht wurden. Es wird vermutet, daß die Chromosomenabnormitäten bei den 19 mit Imuran behandelten Patienten wahrscheinlich nicht durch Imuran, sondern durch die Urämie entstanden sind.

Summary 19 patients treated with Imuran after a renal transplantation showed a high frequency of chromosome abnormalities, compared with 30 healthy control persons in the same age range. No significantly higher frequency of chromosome abnormalities was, however, found in 7 patients examined before and during treatment with Imuran. It is suggested that the chromosome abnormalities found in the 19 patients treated with Imuran were probably not due to Imuran but to Uremia.

     

Ein atlas der spaltsinnesorgane von Cupiennius salei keys. Chelicerata (Araneae)

To facilitate further physiological investigation, a survey was undertaken of all the slit sense organs to be found on the body of the spider Cupiennius salei. We counted and mapped more than 3 000 sensory slits in the cuticle about half of which are combined to small groups of up to 29 slits forming compound or lyriform organs.     

Gerbstoffproduktion der Calluskulturen von Juniperus communis L.

Zusammenfassung Bestimmungen des Gerbstoffgehalts in vitro kultivierter Calli von Juniperus communis L. innerhalb einer Kulturperiode von 90 Tagen ergaben ein Maximum zu Beginn der Phase stärkeren Wachstums, etwa 30 Tage nach Versuchsbeginn.Durch Veränderungen der Glucosekonzentration des Substrates wird mit der Gerbstoffproduktion gleichzeitig auch das Wachstum der Calli beeinflußt. Deshalb wird eine deutliche Zunahme des Gerbstoffgehalts erst bei einer Steigerung der Kohlenhydratkonzentration von 1 auf 6% sichtbar.

Tannin production in the Callus cultures of Juniperus Communis L.

Summary Callus cultures of Juniperus communis L. were analysed for tannins at intervals during a period of 90 days. The tannin content (mg tannins x 100/mg dry weight) reached a maximum at the onset of rapid growth, 30 days after inoculation, and then decreased. Variation of the glucose concentration in the medium influences both the growth and the production of tannins. An increase of the tannin content can be observed only if the carbohydrate concentration is raised from 1 to 6%.

Comparative cytological study of Phasianus colchicus,Meleagris gallopavo,and Gallus domesticus

Summary Since viable intergeneric hybrids between the chicken (Gallus domesticus) and the pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) have been reported, as well as interfamilial hybrids between the chicken and the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), the chromosome complements of the pheasant and the turkey were compared with that of the chicken. In these three species belonging to the order Galli, the Z-chromosomes appeared to be identical, while the autosomal complements of the pheasant and the turkey differed radically from that of the chicken. It was noted with some surprise that the pheasant of the family Phasianidae and the turkey of the family Meleagridae have very similar chromosome complements, at least so far as gross morphology of somatic metaphase chromosomes is concerned.This work was supported in part by grant C-5138 from the National Cancer Institute, U.S. Public Health Service, and grant C-17601 from the National Science Foundation.The authors gratefully acknowledge the generosity of Rea's Game Birds, Paramount, California, who supplied the pheasant chicks, and the McPherin Hatcheries, Sunnymead, California, who furnished the turkey chicks. The authors also appreciate the editorial assistance of'Patricia A. Ray.
