Enhancing effect ofBordetella pertussis and propranolol on experimental immune hemolytic anemia

Résumé Un constituant deBordetella pertussis, et la drogue antagoniste, le propranolol-adrénergique, peuvent causer un renforcement semblable similaire de la sensibilité des souris à l'anémie hémolytique immune expérimentale. Il est connu que l'insuline se comporte de la même façon.

Elektronenmikroskopische Beobachtungen bei experimenteller Poliomyelitis

Summary The lumbar motor columns of a cynomolgus monkey which had become tetraplegic after infection with a highly virulent strain of type 3 poliovirus were examined by electron microscopy. Within the cytoplasm of many endothelial cells of intraspinal blood vessels, as well as within the perikarya of numerous mononuclear inflammatory cells, there occurred regular arrays of dense particles which, on the basis of morphological evidence, could be identified as poliovirus crystals. The possible significance of virual replication by endothelial and mononuclear cells for poliovirus spread within the central nervous system is briefly discussed.     

The inhibition of the dye-sensitized photoinactivation of trypsin using tyrosine and thyronine analogues

Zusammenfassung Es wurde Tyrosin- und Thyroninwirkung auf die farbensensibilisierende Photoinaktivierung des Trypsins untersucht. Sensibilisatoren waren Methylenblau, Flavinmononukleotid und Eosin Y. Die Analoge von Tyrosin und Thyronin haben sehr ähnliche konzentrationsabhängige Schirm wirkung bei Verwendung von Flavinmononukleotid als Photosensibilisator. Die Abschirmungseffekte der Sensibilisatoren werden besprochen.     

Aberrant nerve fibres in embryos treated with thiopental

Resumen Embriones de polio tratados con pentotal sódico muestran fibras nerviosas que penetran en las cavidades ventriculares, lo que parece apoyar las teorias quimotropicas sobre la orientación de las fibras nerviosas en crecimiento.
