Mucosal biopsies were taken from 20 ears with secretory otitis media (glue ear) and histochemical stainings were made for comparison with data obtained from biochemical analysis of the fluids. Acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LD), and malate dehydrogenase (MD), the activity of which in the ear fluids was 20 to 30 times higher than in serum, were found to appear as strong precipitates in the middle ear epithelium, particularly in the top layer. Alkaline phosphatase activity was only exceptionally seen in the epithelium but appeared in the capillaries and histiocytes. Nonspecific esterase appeared irregularly in the epithelium and regularly in histiocytes. The latter two had lower activities in ear fluids than in serum. Epithelial secretory cells and subepithelial glands and cysts showed strong alcian blue (AB)-positive staining. Positive material appeared also in the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells and in the intercellular substance. Distinct PAS-positive staining appeared in the columnar epithelium and particularly in the free mucus on top of the epithelium but was less promounced in the glandular structures and absent from the cysts.

Selected biochemical properties, based on hepatocellular function, were assessed in the mouse hepatoma BW7756 and host and/or normal mouse liver. These biochemical properties included (a) alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production, (b) lipid composition, (c) isozyme patterns and enzyme activities, and (d) cyclic AMP levels. The tumor evidenced an exponential growth phase and vigorous production of AFP in the first 3 weeks following transplant. The concentration of AFP in the sera of tumor-bearing mice increases roughly with the growth of the hepatoma. The percentage of total lipid in the hepatoma was greater than in either normal or host liver; however, the liver displayed more phospholipid than the tumor, while more triglyceride was demonstrable in the hepatoma. Of the 17 isozyme patterns analyzed, seven--acid phosphatase, malate dehydrogenase, aspartate amino-transferase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, esterase, lactate dehydrogenase, and xanthine dehydrogenase--were different in the liver and the tumor. The cyclic AMP levels decreased in the tumor and the host spleen from day 10 to day 21; however, slight increases were noted in the tumor and host spleen and liver at day 28. These studies suggested 2--3 weeks posttransplantation as the optimal time for investigational use of this hepatoma.

The distributional pattern of some enzymes (esterase, beta-D-galactosidase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase) is described in the dry stigma and closed style of Gossypium Hirsutum L. during pre- and post-pollination stages. All the four enzymes indicated granular reaction and increased activity in the transmitting tissue and its surrounding cells during post pollinated stage. The possible physiological role of these enzymes in pollen tube growth in vivo in stigma and style is discussed.

Scolices and brood capsules of healthy hydatid cysts from lungs of human patients were studied with histochemical and histoenzymatic methods. The subtegumental and flame cells were sepcially rich in glycogen, RNA and some dehydrogenases such as SDH, MDH, NADH-reductase and G-6-PDH. The rostellar zone or invaginated pole, an area of marked contractile movements, showed intense activity in ATP'ase and simple esterase. The so-called excretory pole shows strong activity in simple esterases, lipase, beta-HBH, alpha-GDH and NADPH-reductase. Lipids are also abundant in this zone implying the important role of this metabolic path in the development of the parasite. Intense activity in alkaline phosphatase was observed in cells associated to the calcereous corpuscles. The largest corpuscles were devoid of enzymatic activity. The enzyme could play some role in the calcification of the corpuscles. Wide enzymatic variations are described according to morphology being orthoscolices the most rich in enzyme activity. Accumulations of small cells surrounded by specialized cells on the germinal membrane are interpreted as the origin or "embryo" of brood capsules. Some enzymes detected in the wall of mature brood capsules depicted alternating types of cells. Some of them are positive for ATP'ase that may be related to active transport of substances across the brood capsule wall. The intenst ATP'ase activity at the stalks of scolices may be similarly interpreted. However, a miosine-like activity is a more feasible explanation since this area showed striking contractile movements in vivo.

The developmental peculiarities of the rabbit lung were analyzed in foetuses of 14 and 23 days, and in newborns having respired 30 min. and 48 hrs. Cytochemical, histoenzymatic and quantiative cytologic methods were used. The parallel evolution of epithelial and mesenchymal cells was quantified using conventional fields. The development of air spaces was morphometrically appreciated. Acid and neutral mucopolysaccarides, nucleic acids, and enzymic activities (AcPh-ase, AlkPh-ase, ATP-ase, AMP-ase, SDH, MDH, LDG, G1-6-ph-DH, proline-oxydase, hydroxyproline-2-epimerase, unspecific esterase, TwE-ase, beta-gal-ase and beta-gluc-ase, alanyl- and leucineaminopeptidase) were investigated. This complex analysis showed that in a first phase the development mainly involved the epithelial cells, while the proliferation of mesenchymal ones remained constant. In a second phase, the epithelial cell increase became slower, and the mesenchymal cells were decreasing. At the same time the air spaces were continuously increasing. During this process, neutral mucopolysaccharides were synthesized in epithelial cells and in cartilaginous nodules, and sometimes in mesenchymal cells. The RNA was continuously increasing both in epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The high enzymic activities in the 14-day foetuses appeared to be limited to AcPh-ase, AlkPh-ase, and SDH in both epithelial and mesenchymal cells, the LDH in epithelial and the ATP-ase and AMP-ase mainly in mesenchymal cells. At the same time, the G1-6-ph-DH obviously marked the epithelial cell differentiation. In the other foetal and newborn lungs, the enzymic activities appeared to be more various by limitation of AcPh-ase to epithelial elements and of AlkPh-ase to mesenchymal and vascular ones, by activation of proline-oxydase and especially of hydroxyproline-2-epimerase in pleura and peribronchovascularly, by intensification of the unspecific esterase: the other enzymes active in the 14-day foetuses were now weaker. The activity of beta-gal-ase, beta-gluc-ase, and of peptidases was missing during the entire development of the foetal rabbit lung. The corroboration of these data suggested the relation between the differentiation of enzymic activities and the development of foetal rabbit lung, the strong relations between AcPh-ase activity and the epithelial elements, and of AlkPh-ase and ATP-ase with the mesodermo-mesenchymal ones, the marking of epithelial cell differentiation by the G1-6-ph-DH activity, the presence of SDH in the basal corpuscles of differentiating cili, the increase of enzymes making inactive the hydroxyproline in zones in which connective tissue is developing, the low differentiation of hydrolases (related to the absence of air and blood transport of products) and the lack of peptidase activity corresponding to the reduced pulmonary degradation of proteins (as in adult lungs).

Human adult lung fragments removed from macroscopically undamaged and anthracosis exempted zones of lungs of 20 pneumonectomies made for cancer, were tested for 25 enzymic activities. The location and intensities of these enzymic activities were different in the lung tissue components; The bronchial epithelia contained highly active LDH, MDH, SDH, NADH-TR and NADPH-TR, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, active hydroxyproline-2-epimerase, alkaline phosphatase. Ca2+-activated ATP-ase, and beta-galactosidase. Bronchial and vascular muscles presented intense activities of LDH, MDH and SDH of alkalinephosphatase, AMP-ase and Ca2+-activated ATP-ase, as well as of beta-galactosidase. The alveolar walls presented high activities of SDH, MDH and LDH, of alkaline and acid phosphatases, of beta-galactosidase and of Tween-40 and 60-esterases, of HEP, cytochrome-oxidase and peroxidase. The free alveolar macrophages were active for LDH, MDH, SDH, NADH-TR and NADPH-TR, G1-6-ph-DH, acid and alkaline phosphatase, cytochrome-oxidase and peroxidase, HEP, AMP-ase and Mg2+-activated ATP-ase, Tween-esterases, naphthol-ASD-acetate esterase, and beta-galactosidase. The endothelia contained high activities of alkaline phosphatase, of AMP-ase and Mg2+-activated ATPase, of LDH, MDH and SDH, and of beta-galactosidase. In bronchial lymphoid nodules it was the LDH, MDH, SDH, cytochrome-oxidase and peroxidase, HEP, alkaline phosphatase and AMP-ase, Tween-60-esterase and beta-galactosidase that were active. The interlobular areas of the lung presented intense activities of SDH, MDH, LDH, HEP and cytochrome-oxidase. The activities of the other tested enzymes were weaker or absent in the adult human lung components, the same as those of aminopeptidases which were present only in some free alveolar macrophages. The discussion of some relationships between these enzymic actitivies and the morphology of the human adult lung tissue asserted that the latter could not be considered as a "normal" tissue but as one overstrained by the components of blood and polluted air.

The histochemistry of the neural cells was studied in the submandibular ganglia of 5 Callithrix jacchus (3 males and 2 females) and 4 Callithrix penicillata (2 males and 2 females). These cells contain neutral mucopolysaccharides, nucleoproteins and lipidic materia, but are apparently devoid of glycogen. It is impossible to demonstrate in them any reactivity for UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, ATPase at pH 6.3, leucine aminopeptidase and alanyl aminopeptidas. The reaction for the other searched enzymes was as follows: weak (F-1,6-P Ald and cytochrome oxidase), weak to moderate (ADH, 6-P-GDH, ICDH, SDH, MDH, alpha-GPDH and beta-OHBDH), moderate (G-6-PDH, F-1,6-PA, LDH and GDH), moderate to strong (ATPase at pH 7.4, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase) and strong (G-6-PA, NADH2,-TR, NADPH2-TR, ATPase at pH 8.5 and 9.4 and alkaline phosphatase).

The epithelial cells in the taste buds of C. jacchus and C. penicillata show a moderate amount of ribonucleic acid an a concentration of a PAS-positive diastase-resistant material at their apical part. These cells are devoid of UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, G-6-PA, alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, cholinesterase and MAO; they present a weak reaction of F-1, 6-P Ald, LDH, SDH, MDH, cytochrome oxidase, beta-OHBDH, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase and a stronger reaction to ADH, NADPH2-TR, ATPases, alpha-GPDH, alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and GDH. Although some enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and ATPases) have an almost uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller taste buds of the fungiform papillae. As a rule the apical part of the cells shows a stronger enzymatic reactivity. The taste buds of the marmosets are penetrated by acetylcholinesterase positive nerve fibers whereas the autonomic ganglia in the connective tissue contain both-acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase.

The purification of the pregnancy zone protein by means of immunoadsorbents is described. The pregnancy zone protein antibody was isolated from an absorbed rabbit antiserum and coupled with CNBr-activated sepharose. The pregnancy zone protein was isolated from pregnancy serum by the specific antibody cross-linked with sepharose. Contaminating serum proteins were eliminated by "inverse" immunoadsorption using antibodies against these proteins coupled with sepharose. An immunoelectrophoretically pure pregnancy zone protein was obtained. By means of a combination of immunoprecipitation and enzyme reaction in agar gel could be excluded that the pregnancy zone protein possesses activities of the following 11 enzymes: ceruloplasmin, leucine amino peptidase, alkaline phosphatase, carboxylic esterase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphat-dehydrogenase, cholinesterase, acetyl cholinesterase and oxytocinase.

Eschscholtzia californica stigmas with germinating pollen at different stages of development were the subject of histochemical studies which aimed the localization of several enzymes like phosphorylase, leucine amino peptidase, nonspecific esterase, cytochrome oxidase, aldolase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, monoamine oxidase, alpha-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase and beta-galactosidase. Pollen and pollen tubes were shown to contain starch, lipid, proteins and soluble sugars as the storage products. These storage products were utilized during germination and tube growth. The role of different enzymes in the process of germination and tube growth is discussed. From the distribution of oxidoreductases it is inferred that respiration plays an essential role in the tube growth. During pollen germination probably the reserve proteins were transported to pollen tube tip. The increase of activity of alpha-and beta-galactosidase in pollen tubes indicates on their involvement in carbohydrate metabolism. The role of alpha-galactosidase in the metabolism of galactolipids is also inferred. Similarly, the reaction catalysed by beta-glucosidase resulted in the production of aglycon and glucose; of these the former possibly act as a substrate of peroxidase. Some of the glycosidases diffused out of pollen wall on the stigma and participated in the release of free sugars of the female tissue.
