A comparative study on 99m-Tc-phosphate compounds (TcPP) in detecting tumor metastasis to bone and problems accompanying it are reported. TcPP revealed metastatic foci which are unrecognized by conventional bone survey. To recognize these foci, exclusion of following problems is necessary: Accumulation at front of neck, asymmetrical image of joint, increased bone density of the aged, Tc-photon absorption and radiotherapy effect. The mechanism of TcPP accumulation is discussed.

Owl and African green monkey kidney cell cultures have been infected with 1 p.f.u./cell of herpesvirus saimiri and sample cultures have been taken for examination by electron microscopy at 3 to 6 hourly intervals over a period of 7 days; the experiments were repeated several times. The peculiarly slow replication cycle of Herpesvirus saimiri has enabled distinct cytoplasmic and nuclear phases in virus maturation to be clearly distinguished; the overall fine structural features were similar in both cell types. Immature particles were first detected in the nucleus and cytoplasm 63 h after infection. Thereafter, abundant cytoplasmic immature particles matured by budding through cytoplasmic membranes until about 100 h, whereas nuclear immature particles budded through the inner nuclear membrane or intranuclear invaginations of it later, from about 100 h until cytolysis was complete at 160 h. Morphological differences were also observed between particles budding at cytoplasmic membranes and the nuclear envelope. At the former site the membrane overlying the bud showed an electron opaque thickening which imparted to the mature particle an asymmetrical appearance. Such thickenings of the envelope were not observed in mature particles of nuclear origin. Unusual tubular and laminated nuclear structures were seen towards the end of the replicative cycle corresponding with the phase of nuclear virus maturation by budding; the morphology of the latter structures is described.

The authors report nine cases of acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuritis developing one to eleven weeks after a tick bite, regressive, painful and asymmetrical, with an albumino-cellular reaction in the CSF. They stress the very particular physiognomy of this type of meningo-radiculitis, its seasonal occurrence and the uncertain nature of its pathogenesis.

A membrane-bound cytochrome resembling higher plant cytochrome f in many respects has been extracted from the algae Chlamydomonas. Euglena and Anacystis, and partially purified. The spectra of the cytochromes from Chlamydomonas and Euglena are virtually identical to that of parsley cytochrome f, with alpha-band maxima near 554 nm, very asymmetrical beta-bands, and gamma-band maxima at 421 nm. The cytochrome from Anacystis had alpha and gamma-bands both shifted to slightly longer wavelengths. The redox potential of the cytochrome from Chlamydomonas was determined as +350 mV, and its minimum molecular weight in sodium dodecyl sulphate as 31 000. The cytochrome from Euglena showed a rate of reaction with higher plant plastocyanin at least 100 times that of the soluble Euglena cytochrome c-552, and was unaffected by Euglena cytochrome c-552 antiserum. A very fast rate of electron transfer occurred between this cytochrome purified from Euglena and cytochrome c-552. The roles of the membrane-bound and soluble c-type cytochromes in algal photosynthesis are discussed, and it is recommended that the name cytochrome f should be reserved for the membrane-bound cytochrome (to emphasize its affinity with higher plant cytochrome f), while the soluble one should be named by its alpha-band (c-552, c-553, etc.) to make clear its distinctness from higher plant cytochrome f and homology with mitochondrial cytochrome c.

Temperature-induced conformational changes in the anticodon region of yeast tRNATyr were studied by EPR spectroscopy. The spin label 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl was attached to the N6-(delta2-isopentenyl)-adenosine residue in tRNATyr, previously made reactive by iodination. The labelled tRNATyr gave an asymmetrical triplet spectrum typical of rapidly tumbling nitroxide, with a rotational correlation time (tauc) of 0.65 ns. Spin-labelled tRNATyr was exposed to heating and cooling in three different buffers each with or without MgCl2. In each case the Arrhenius plot of --log tauc vs. inverse absolute temperature gave two straight lines, intersecting at a critical temperature (tcr). Above tcr, the anisotropy of the spectrum was not reduced and the activation energy of motion increased, indicating that the transition is associated with a conformational change of the macromolecule. Transitions in 0.05 M potassium phosphate (pH 8.0) and 0.02 M Tris - HC1 (pH 7.0) were observed at potassium phosphate (pH 8.0) and 0.02 M Tris - Hc1 (pH 7.0) were observed at approx. 37 degrees C. When 0.01 M mgCl2 was present in these buffers, transitions were shifted to 46 degrees and 53 degrees C, respectively. Transitions in 0.01 M sodium cacodylate were observed at temperatures which are significantly lower. Since all these transitions occur at temperatures considerably below those required to melt the helical regions of tRNA, and at least approximately 10 degrees C below those reported to break tertiary interactions, it is supposed that they reflect some reorientation of the anticodon region, e.g. a change in tilt of the bases.

Ipsilateral stapedius reflex testing has been evaluated in 166 patients. It proves of value in defining the state of an ear (1) opposite to a unilateral conductive loss; (2) the less hard-of-hearing ear in the presence of bilateral asymmetrical sensorineural hearing losses where the worse ear has sufficiently severe loss to prevent a contralateral reflex from being elicited; (3) in patients with absent contralateral acoustic reflexes at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz; and (4) in suspected central lesions. The test is still bedevilled by artifacts which are produced in the ear rather than the machine; atypical results must be evaluated with extreme caution.

The synapses of optic nerve afferents in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) usually form Gray type I (asymmetrical) synapses, but about 13% show clear-cut Gray type II ( symmetrical) active zones. Some presynaptic elements form a Gray type I--active zone with one dendrite and a Gray type II-active zone with another postsynaptic element at the same time. It is discussed whether this variabilility is related to a simultaneous excitatory and inhibitory action, to a variable activity or efficiency of the synapses or to various stages of maturation.

The analysis of ESR low temperature spectra of in vitro gamma-irradiated (1 Mrad) liver, hepatoma 22-a and tumor host liver has been carried out. On the ground of differences in thermostability and relaxation parameters of paramagnetic centres it has been shown, that there is a large amount of different paramagnetic centres in irradiated normal and tumor tissues. The ESR spectra parameters and properties of observed paramagnetic centres are presented. The main result is the detection of a specific "tumor signal" (asymmetrical singlet deltaH = 6, Oe, g = 2.005) and peroxide radical ROO. signal in tumor and tumor host liver.

Endocrine function was evaluated in a 38-year-old man who had patchy asymmetrical acral hypertrophy and giantism. The history and clinical manifestations were consistent with previously described cases of the Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Pituitary and peripheral hormone concentrations were generally elevated, but his endocrine status appeared normal by clinical evaluation. Of particular interest were elevated growth hormone and somatomedin-A concentrations and responses to provocative tests. These findings suggest that this patient had abnormal cell receptor pathophysiology as the cause of the asymmetrical acral hypertrophy and giantism, which often occurred in the same anatomical site.

p-Nitrophenyl phosphatase (p-NPPase) activity of (Na+-K+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+-K+)-ATPase) on the acinar cells of dog submandibular gland was demonstrated by using light microscopy. The reaction products of p-NPPase of fresh frozen sections were seen to be localized on the basal parts of acini, and disappeared when the sections were incubated in medium containing 10(-3) Mouabain or in a K-free medium. Under the electron microscope, the reaction products of ATPase were found to be localized on the basolateral plasma membrane of both serous and mucous cells. On the microvilli of the luminal plasma membrane of the acinar cell, a small quantity of the reaction products was also present. This localization of ATPase reaction products on the serous and mucous cells seemed to coincide well with that of p-NPPase activity observed on the acini under light microscopy. Possible explanations are given regarding distribution of the above mentioned enzymes in relation to the cation transport of the plasma membrane. Structural and functional asymmetrical properties of acinar cells of the dog submandibular gland are also discussed.
