1. After a local lesion of the diaphragm muscle, which produced a segment of innervated muscle fibres connected with an intact nerve-free segment by a region of crushed muscle fibres, the sensitivity to ACh, the presence of tetrodotoxin resistant action potentials (AP) and the transmission of AP along the muscle fibres were studied. 2. Three days after local injury of the diaphragm muscle ACh sensitivity and TTX resistance appeared in the crushed and nerve-free segments between the place of injury and the tendineous attachment. 5-7 days after injury transmission of action potentials through the damaged to the undamaged ("decentralized"), nerve-free part of the fibres is restored. High ACh sensitivity and TTX resistance of the latter segment, however, are completely lost only 20 days after the local injury. During this period contractility of the muscle remains practically unchanged. Enzymatic activities (SDH, ATPase and phosphorylase) of the damaged part were lost 3 days after crushing and recovered slowly between 7-10 days of regeneration of the diaphragm muscle fibres. 3. The experiments suggest that during regeneration of damaged muscle fibres supersensitivity to ACh remains high inspite of normal AP activity and that intracellular mechanisms may be involved in the induction and disappearance of ACh hypersensitivity.

Rats were made to drink D2O mixed water (30: 70) for 6 weeks in order to study the biological effects of orally administered D2O on the liver. Heavy water administration results in gradual decrease in the body weight whereas the liver showed marginal increase in weight throughout the experimental period. Phosphatases and dehydrogenases were analyzed biochemically. Acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase registered fall in contrast to alkaline phosphatase, SDH and LDH, all of which showed a definite increase. Lipids, nucleic acids and proteins, estimated biochemically, gradually decreased throughout the experimental period in response to D2O feeding.

Muscle biopsy samples were obtained from healthy subjects in order to evaluate quantitative differences in single fibres of substrate (glycogen and triglyceride) and ion concentrations (Na+ and K+) as well as enzyme activity levels (succinate-dehydrogenase, SDH; phosphofructokinase, PFK; 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, HAD; myosin ATPase) between human skeletal muscle fibre types. After freeze drying of the muscle specimen fragments of single fibres were dissected out and stained for myofibrillar-ATPase with preincubations at pH's of 10.3, 4.6, 4.35. Type I ("red") and II A,B, and C ("white") fibres could then be identified. Glycogen content was the same in different fibres, whereas triglyceride content was highest in Type I fibres (2-3 X Type II). No significant differences were observed for Na+ and K+ between fibre types. The activity for the enzymes studied were quite different in the fibre types (SDH and HAD, Type I is approximately 1.5 X Type II; PFK Type I is approximately 0.5 X Type II, Myosin ATPase Type I is approxiamtely 0.4 X Type II). The subgroups of Type II fibres were distinguished by differences in both SDH and PFK activities (SDH, Type II C is greater than A is greater than B; PFK, Type II B is greater than A is approximately C). It is concluded that contractile and metabolic characteristics of human skeletal fibres are very similar to many other species. One difference, however, appears to be than no Type II fibres have an oxidative potential higher than Type I fibres.

Paraoxon in doses of one LD50 (0.426 mg/kg), eight times and eighty times LD 50 was applied s.c. to female Sprague-Dawley rats. After 3, 6, 10, 24 and 36--48 h the activities of enzymes GOT, GPT, GLDH, SDH, CPK and ChE were measured, once after i.m. antidote application of Toxogonin only, of Toxogonin + atropine and the next one after application of combination Toxogonin + atropine + Solcoseryl (low-molecular components of deproteinized blood from young calves. The values obtained showed that in spite of treatment with Toxogonin or Toxogonin + atropine the activities of the enzymes increased; this enhancement could be prevented by addition of Solcoseryl to Toxogonin + atropine. The ChE-activity after 36 h was equivalent to that of the control value. The effect of paraoxon in the initial phase of poisoning was discussed in connection with hypoxia and acidosis resulting from a respiratory insufficiency as well as the inhibition of ATPase-activity with restriction of the energy metabolism following: consequently the effect of Solcoseryl was interpreted as an activation of the disturbed energy metabolism.

The present work is a continuation of our studies on mitochondrial functions and enzyme activities after acute exhaustive swimming in liver and myocardium. In rat heart mitochondria the activities of SDH, cytochrome oxidase and ATPase (DNP-stimulated) increase after swimming and remain at that level until the end of the 22-hour rest period studied. The enzyme complexes--rotenone-sensitive NAD. H-cytochrome c-reductase and succinate-cytochrome c-reductase--decrease their activities in both experimental groups. The reduced activity of these two enzymes is determined by changes in this part of the respiratory chain which occur after the incorporation of DCPIP in the oxidation-reduction processes. The marker enzyme of the outer mitochondrial membranes--rotenone-insensitive NAD.H-cytochrome c-reductase--reveals unchanged activity after swimming and a 22-hour period of rest. The different changes in the activities of enzymes with different localization and organization in heart mitochondria are explained by disorganization of the inner membranes after exhaustive swimming, which could induce both activation of some enzymes and inhibition of others. The effect of certain factors during muscle exercise which could cause the established structural and functional changes in the mitochondria is discussed.

The structure and histochemistry of the palmar and plantar skin were studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). In this skin there exist well-developed epidermal ridges, to which are attached one or two ducts of sweat glands. A thick stratum corneum can be seen in the epidermis, while a distinct stratum lucidum cannot be isolated from the other layers. The stratum granulosum is constituted by one or three layers of cells containing keratohyalin granules. Melanin granulations are mainly concentrated in the basal cells of the epidermal ridges. Dendritic melanocytes and amelanotic melanocytes containing alkaline phosphatase are found among the epidermal cells. Glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylases are mainly present in the middle and lower Malpighian cells of the epidermal ridges. Alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, alanyl amino-peptidase and leucine aminopeptidase were absent in the epidermal cells. SDH, cytochrome oxidase, MAO and a certain number of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases (LDH, ADH, MDH, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH and GDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the basal cells and Malpighian layer. The NADP-dependent enzymes (G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, cis-aconistase and ICDH) were more reactive in the upper Malpighian layer and stratum granulosum. The stratum corneum showed some acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase reactivity. The collagenous fibers intertwined with a small number of very thin elastic ones and a larger amount of reticular fibers run almost parallel to the epidermal ridges in the papillary body. In the reticular dermis some fibers are disposed transversely to the epidermal ridges. Meissner corpuscles reactive to butyrylcholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, nonspecific esterase and G-6-PA are disposed at regular intervals and frequently at each side of the epidermal ridges. Pacinian corpuscles were found only in the hypodermis. The eccrine sweat glands contain glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylase in their secretory, ductal and myoepithelial cells. The secretory part shows a uniform reactivity for every dehydrogenase because it contains only one type of cells (clear cells). The intraepidermal segment of the ducts shows a stronger reactivity to nonspecific esterase and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases than the epithelial cells around it.

The antiulcerogenic effect of zinc acexamate on gastric ulcers induced by reserpine and changes in the morphology of gastric mucosa were studied in rats by histochemical methods. Histochemistry revealed that zinc acexamate preserved reserpine-depleted neutral and acid glycoproteins. ATPase reaction remained strong in nearly normal periglandular capillaries. The reaction intensity of SDH and NADH2-tetrazolium reductase, and the number and size of the DH-positive parietal cells were decreased, illustrating the decline of energy metabolism involved in acid secretion. The decreased height and weaker staining of the pyroninophile chief cell layer corresponded to the lower amount of RNA, an indirect indicator of pepsinogen synthesis. The significant correlation indices "r" between the severity of gastric lesions and histochemical parameters of the defensive (glycoproteins and microvascular ATPase) and aggressive factors (parietal cell DH and chief cell RNA) confirmed the pathogenic effect of reserpine and the protection provided by zinc acexamate. These findings confirm the multifactorial mechanism of action described for zinc acexamate in several previous works.

Trichuris globulosa (Nematoda: Trichuridae) incubated in 10 micrograms/ml and 50 micrograms/ml concentrations of albendazole and fenbendazole in Tyrode's solution were stained for histoenzymic demonstration of various phosphatases and oxidoreductases. The intestine, muscles and bacillary band showed major alterations after the drug treatment. The strong reaction of the various mitochondrial enzymes and ATPase suggests a possible respiratory role of the bacillary band in this species. The most noticeable effect of these two drugs especially the higher concentrations on the intestine was the disruption of its epithelium with the release and scattering of the enzymic activity of the various enzymes such as SDH, GDH (only fenbendazole treatment), NADPH-D and NADH-D. The functional significance of these enzymes has been fully discussed.

Plasmin activity in the tear fluid of the rabbit eye was examined during the wearing of soft contact lenses (SCL) and compared with the occurrence of corneal disturbances assessed in cryostat sections. Plasmin activity was determined with a semiquantitative method using dry punches of filter paper previously soaked in 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer solution containing mmol/l D-Val-Leu-Lys-FCA (trifluoromethylaminocoumarine), pH 7.2. Punches were applied to the corneal surface for 5 s (tear collection) and incubated in wet chamber. The time of appearance of the bright yellow fluorescence in UV light was recorded and taken as a measure of plasmin activity. For calibration punches soaked in solutions containing plasmin in various concentrations, and processed in the same manner were used. Changes in the cornea were examined histochemically using methods of choice for acid glycosidases, proteases, dehydrogenases, and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. SCL with high and low water content were worn in rabbits in 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Decreased activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, GGT, and SDH in the corneal endothelium and epithelium were not accompanied by detectable plasmin activity in the tear fluid. Pronounced damage of the corneal epithelium (increased activities of acid glycosidases, acid proteases, LDH, markedly decreased activity of SDH) was accompanied by low concentration of plasmin (0.4-1.0 micrograms/ml) in the tear fluid. Middle activity of plasmin (1.0-2.0 micrograms/ml) was detectable when PMNs were present in the corneal stroma. High plasmin activity (2.0-3.0 micrograms/ml) correlated with corneal ulceration and vascularization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A biological study of masticatory muscle behaviour (Divry and Westphal, 1991) suggested the analysis of physiologic correlates (biologic parameters related to a behavioural event) such as histochemical reactions of muscular fibres studied by M-ATPase and SDH activities. For such investigations, routine methods are needed. In the present study, a modification of the original method of Tunell and Hart (1977) was used, in which three features of the original alkaline preincubation method (composition, incubation time and pH) were modified. These allowed a single step differentiation of the various fibre types found in rat masticatory muscles, for which the classical technics gave only a weak contrast, not suitable for image analysis. Acid preincubation was also tested but failed to give new information. By combining this modified technic with SDH staining (Nachlas, 1957) a classification of fibres into 12 theoretical types was proposed.
