On the heterogeneity of skeletal muscle fibers: The intermediate fibers

Résumé Les mesures d'intensité de la réaction à la succino-déshydrogénase et de la surface des fibres des muscles quadriceps et soléaire chez le rat nous ont permis d'individualiser un groupe de fibres intermédiaires qui se situe entre les fibres rouges (type I) et blanches (type II). Les fibres intermédiaires ont une activité enzymatique et une population mitochondriale distinctes, une taille moyenne et une teneur élevée en glycogène.     

Substance P-like immunoreactive fibers in the frog taste organs

In the frog tongue, substance P(SP)-like immunoreactive fibers were consistently present in each fungiform papilla, which contained the gustatory apparatus. Numerous SP-like immunoreactive fibers were usually distributed in the periphery of the gustatory disc and formed a varicose meshwork among the ciliated cells encircling the gustatory disc. SP-like immunoreactive fibers were rarely evident inside the gustatory disc. The role of SP-containing fibers in the frog taste organ was discussed.

Localization of substance P-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the human digital skin

Substance P-immunoreactive nerve endings were localized in human digital skin by the use of indirect immunohistochemical technique. It was found that substance P-like immunoreactivity was present in free nerve endings in the dermal papillae and in the epidermis. Some Meissner's corpuscles also contained substance P positive nerve endings. Furthermore, substance P-immunoreactive nerves were localized in close connection to sweat gland ducts and blood vessels. The functional significance of these findings was discussed with regard to pain mediation and inflammatory response.     

Stimulation by caffeine of the calcium efflux in barnacle muscle fibers

Zusammenfassung Die Befunde ergeben, dass einzelne Muskelfasern der Entenmuschel durch Mikroinjektion mit⁴⁵Ca aufgeladen werden können. Eine Umspülung der Muskelfasern mit einer coffeinhaltigen Lösung bewirkt ein stärkeres Ausströmen des Calciums als eine Mikroinjektion des Coffeins in die Fasern direkt.     

Histochemical demonstration of adrenergic fibers in the renal tubulus in dog

Zusammenfassung Mittels histochemischer Fluoreszenz-methode werden bei Hunden in den Nierentubuli adrenerge (Noradrenalin) Nervenfasern nachgewiesen.     

Depolarization of tooth pulp primary afferent fibers in the medulla oblongata

Zusammenfassung Die zentralen Endigungen der primären afferenten Fasern der Zahnpulpa, welche ausschliesslich der A--Gruppe angehören, können sowohl durch Impulse in A-- und-Trigeminus-Fasern als auch in A afferenten Fasern der Pulpa eines anderen Zahnes depolarisiert werden.     

Observation of nerve fibers in incident light

Résumé On décrit une version améliorée d'un microscope «tandem scanning», à lumière réfléchie. Ce microscope utilise un système plus efficace de scanning, qui produit une image plus lumineuse que celle qu'on a pu obtenir jusqu'à présent. Avec ce microscope des fibres de nerfs ont pu Être photographiées sans coloration.
