Eleven frostbites were induced on the ears of seven New Zealand White rabbits and specimens were taken from the lesion after 1, 4 and 8 hours, and from ten further frostbites on the ears of six rabbits for examination 1, 3 and 7 days later. The specimens were taken at the border between the frozen and non-frozen skin. NADH-diaphorase, alkaline phosphatase and esterase were demonstrated histochemically in the sample, which was also studied by haematoxylin and eosin staining. Five ears served as controls. Some granulocytes could be seen accumulating in the vessels and in the dermis at the border of the frostbite area after only 1 hour, and other enzyme rich cells (macrophages) also began to appear. After 4 hours the inflammation was quite obvious with the enzyme reactions clearly observable in the sections. After 8 hours there was no marked difference compared with the 4-hour picture. It was only after 3 days that the line of demarcation between the normal and frostbite tissue could be seen clearly. This was oblique in some specimens and vertical in others. The degeneration in the lesion could best be demonstrated by the NADH-diaphorase and esterase reactions and the early inflammation by the alkaline phosphatase reaction.

Formation of the nasal septal cartilage in prenatal and neonatal rats was studied histologically and by histochemistry to determine the manner, degree and participation of the nasal septal cartilage in midface growth and in bone formation of the face. Chondrogenesis of the nasal septal cartilage started at the 13th embryonic day, premaxillary and vomerin bone formation at the 14th embryonic day and endochondral bone formation of the septo-presphenoid area at the 17th embryonic day. After differentiation of the nasal septal cartilage, this cartilage supported ethmoid bone formation by endochondal ossification in the septo-presphenoid area. Nasal septal cartilage showed intense activity of lactate dehydrogenase, NADH2-diaphorase and a moderate activity of acid phosphatase, whereas premaxillary and vomerin bone showed intense activity of alkaline phosphatase. Osteoblasts showed intense activity of alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and NADH2-diaphorase and osteoclasts showed intense activity of acid phosphatase. During the embryonal period growth of the nasal septal cartilage could occur in an ethmoido-rostral direction supported by endochondral ossification and growth in length and height supported by apposition and interstitial growth.

In cultured normal rat liver epithelial cells, the specific activity and/or isozyme expression of NADH-diaphorase (NADH-D), pyruvate kinase (PK), glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase (AP) were markedly dependent on the growth state of the cultures. Proliferating, preconfluent cells had higher specific activities of PK, NADH-D, and G6PD but lower activities of GGT and AP than did the more stationary confluent cells. Addition of epidermal growth factor [EGF] to the media of proliferating cells enhanced the specific activities of PK, NADH-D, G6PD, GGT, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of these cells, but the specific activity of AP was markedly depressed. The increase in activity of PK and GGT by EGF appeared to involve new protein synthesis, whereas the effect of EGF on AP appeared to involve the EGF-directed suppression of the synthesis of a form of AP that is produced exclusively by cells in confluent cultures. Furthermore, the preconfluent cells were more responsive to the action of EGF on AP than were confluent cells, i.e., the EGF-mediated decrease in AP activity was seen at lower concentration in preconfluent than in confluent cells. Paradoxically, confluent cells exhibited a two-to threefold higher capacity to bind [125 I]EGF because of an increase in surface receptor number. The results of this study indicate that enzymatic or other biochemical studies performed on cultured cells must take into account the growth-state of the cultures. EGF can modulate enzyme activity in growing and nongrowing cells; one effect of EGF is to maintain higher activity of glycolytic enzymes, suggesting that EGF or EGF-like factors may contribute to the high rate of glycolysis in certain neoplasms.

F344 Male rats weighting between 90 and 110 gm were given 90 ppm diethylnitrosamine in their drinking water for 5 weeks. Seven weeks after the administration of carcinogen was completed, the rats were sacrificed and sections of their livers were embedded in methacrylate. Serial sections 2 or 4 micron in thickness demonstrated the presence of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, acid phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, aldehyde dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase, DT diaphorase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 5'-nucleotidase activity and glycogen. The use of 4-micron sections of methacrylate-embedded tissue allows the evaluation of many more phenotypic markers in serial sections than is currently possible with frozen sections.

The genetic structure of two Chukot Evens subpopulations (314 individuals) for electrophoretic protein systems and taste sensitivity to PTC was studied. 17 of the 39 loci were polymorphic (43.59%). The following systems were completely monomorphic: diaphorase NAD H (Dia); glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD); glutamatoxalate transaminase (GOT); carbonic anhydrase (Ca-1); catalase (Ct), lactate dehydrogenase (loci LDH-A and LDH-B); leucine aminopeptidase (Lap); malate dehydrogenase (MDH); purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide dismutase (SOD); phosphoglucomutase-2 (PGM2); cholinesterase (locus E1); red cell esterase (4 loci); albumin (Alb); hemoglobin (Hb A and B); ceruloplasmin (Cp); and blood, gren, using the standard method. The following systems were polymorphic: red cell acid phosphatase (AcP); phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1); 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD); glutamatepyruvate transaminase (GPT); glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1); esterase (EsD); adenilatkinase (AK); alkaline phosphatase (Pp); cholinesterase (locus E2); haptoglobin (Hp); transferrin (Tf); group-specific component (Gc) and ABO, MN, Lewis, P blood groups and taste sensitivity to PTC. The following allele frequencies for polymorphic loci have been detected: AKI = 0.994; GLO = 1I = 0.082; GPT1 = 0.653; AcPA = 0.400; AcPB = 0.599; AcPC = 0.001; PGDA = 0.944; PGM1(1) = 0.906; EsD1 = 0.897; E2+ = 0.048; HpI = 0.394; GcI = 0,919; Tfc = 0.987; r(O) = 0.669; p(A) = 0.184; q(B) = 0.146; M = 0.711; Le = 0.411; P1+ = 0.521; t = 0.295. The genetic structure of Chukot Evens population is significantly nearer to that of the other ethnic groups of the North-East, in comparison with the genetic structure of Evenks of the Middle Siberia.

NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase is the predominant NADH-diaphorase found in the human neutrophil (Blood 62:152, 1983). Although this reductase segregates with the light membranes of nitrogen-cavitated neutrophils separated on Percoll gradients (which include the plasma membrane markers alkaline phosphatase and NADPH-oxidase), it is approximately 95% excluded from plasma membrane-enriched phagocytic vacuoles. The reductase constitutes approximately 5% of the light membrane fraction FAD-flavoprotein (14.8 +/- 5.5 pmol/mg protein) and was found in equimolar concentration with a high potential b cytochrome also present in this light membrane fraction and tentatively identified as cytochrome b5. Isolation of the reductase from human neutrophils was accomplished by Triton X-114 solubilization of the light Percoll gradient membranes, followed by temperature-dependent phase separation and then affinity chromatography on AMP-Sepharose. The active preparation contained 1.3 mol FAD/mol protein, migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels as a single band corresponding to an apparent mol wt of 45,000 daltons, exhibited a pl of 5.7 on chromatofocusing and was obtained in greater than 70% yield, with an overall purification of almost 900-fold. The purified enzyme was characterized by a high specificity for NADH as electron donor (Km = 6.4 mumol/L v Km greater than 1.6 mmol/L for NADPH) and exhibited a maximal turnover of ca. 30,000 min-1 at 22 degrees C with either ferricyanide or cytochrome b5 (Km = 10 nmol/L) as electron acceptor. Although the physical characterization and biochemical properties described here demonstrate that this neutrophil NADH b5 reductase is similar to the corresponding liver and erythrocyte enzymes, its unique function in the neutrophil has yet to be determined.

Wistar rats (110-125 g) were irradiated with a single dose of 500 R. Histochemical studies were done concerning the glycoproteins (GP) of sublingual glands, gastric, small intestine and colon mucosa, and some intestinal enzymes: acid and alkaline phosphatase (ACP, ALP) leucineaminopeptidase (LAP), Mg-dependent ATP-ase, NADH-diaphorase, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH). After irradiation all these reactions were diminished, with a maximal effect between 3-5 days. This impairment is in accord with the maximal lethality in this interval after such a degree of irradiation that produced the gastrointestinal syndrome. Cocarboxylase, a radioprotector, improved these changes regarding the structures of the small intestine and also the GP of sublingual glands, stomach, small intestine and colon, demonstrating there its efficiency.

This communication presents the results obtained in tubular aggregates of 24 enzyme histochemical techniques for demonstrating activity of oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases and isomerases. The activity characteristics of the tubular aggregates in m. gluteus medius of 18 patients with diseases of the neuromuscular system were almost identical. A high activity of the mitochondrial enzymes, NADPH: tetrazolium oxidoreductase, NADH:tetrazolium oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase, could be shown in the pathological structures, whereas the activity of the mitochondrial enzymes, glycerol-3-phosphate:menadione oxidoreductase, succinate:PMS oxidoreductase, malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase and isocitrate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, and the partial mitochondrial enzymes, malate:NADP+ oxidoreductase and isocitrate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, was very slight or even absent. There was a moderate to strong activity of the glycolytic enzymes lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucomutase and glucose phosphate isomerase. In contrast, the activity of alpha-glucan phosphorylase was slight. The activity of phosphogluconate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, glucose-6-phosphate:NADP+ oxidoreductase and 5'-nucleotidase was slight, whereas there was no activity of myosin ATPase and mitochondrial ATPase, acid phosphatase or alkaline phosphatase. The high activity of AMP-deaminase was very striking. The activity of peroxidase was moderate. Results obtained with adsorption studies point to adsorption of some of the enzymes studied to the tubular aggregates in vivo and this phenomenon very probably determined the histochemical characteristics of these structures.

A histological and histochemical study of ingested food material, energy stores and enzymes in the monogenean Pseudodactylogyrus anguillae, parasitizing the gills of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is presented. It was found that mucus, epithelial cells and blood from the gills were ingested. Glycogen deposits were small and primarily located in the parenchyma and to a minor extent in the vitellariae. Numerous globules of neutral lipids were found in the vitellariae. A marked esterase activity was found in the gut and a less marked activity in the vitellariae. Acid phosphatase activity was found throughout the body whereas alkaline phosphatase and leucine-amino-peptidase were not detected. Marked activity of succinate dehydrogenase and NADH-diaphorase was found in all cells, indicating a predominantly aerobic metabolism in this monogenean.
