Study of the correlations between the volumes of the hypophysis, the epiphysis and the subfornical organ to the somatic weight and the volume of the hypothalamus in rodents]

The correlations between volume of the hypophysis, of the epiphysis and of the subfornical organ to body weight and volume of the hypothalamus were studied on 193 rodents belonging to 41 species. Concerning the volume of the hypophyseal lobes the regression slopes of Rodentia occupy an intermediate position between those of Isectivora and Prosimians studied by BAUCHOT. The volume of the epiphysis increases more rapidly with the weight of the body than that of the hypophyseal lobes, the volume of the subfornical organ increases on the contrary more slowly.     

Characteristics of the receptors in the isolated capsule of the hip in the cat

Summary The properties of the afferent fibres from the capsule of the hip joint have been studied in the cat in situ, in relation to joint rotation, and in an isolated capsule preparation which was opened and stretched directly with an actuator.In situ two types of afferent fibres were found, those having a full range of sensitivity and others having only a limited range in response to the joint rotation. When studied in isolated tissue the afferent fibres of the capsule were uniform in threshold and sensitivities, and no full range receptors were found. We conclude that the full range receptors which enter the articular nerve of the hip are spindle afferents and not capsule receptors. On the basis of these and previous results in animals and man the role of joint receptors in kinaesthesia and position sense is discussed.

Résumé Les auteurs ont étudié les propriétés des nerfs afférents à la capsule de la hanche, chez le chat en imprimant à l'articulation des mouvements de rotation et sur des préparations de capsule isolée et ouverte en l'étirant directement grâce à un dispositif mécanique.In situ, on a trouvé deux types de nerfs afférents, les uns ayant en réponse à la rotation articulaire une étendue complète de sensibilité et les autres seulement une sensibilité limitée. Sur la capsule isolée les nerfs afférents sont indentiques en ce qui concerne le seuil et la sensibilité et on ne trouve aucun récepteur complet. On en conclut que les récepteurs de toute l'étendue de la sensibilité qui pénètrent les nerfs articulaires de la hanche sont des fibres en fuseau d'origine musculaire et non des récepteurs capsulaires. Sur ces bases et sur les résultats précédemment obtenus chez l'animal et chez l'homme, les auteurs discutent le rôle des récepteurs articulaires dans la cénesthésie et le sens des positions.

     

The influence of the geometry of the dialyzer and the composition of the dialysate in activating the complement system

During hemodialysis there is a complex interaction between the patient and the extracorporeal circuit that activates the complement system, among others. To better understand the influence of the dialyzer geometry and the dialysate composition, we compared hollow fiber versus parallel plate dialyzers and acetate versus bicarbonate dialysates and their role in the production of C3a, C4a and C5a. There was no significant difference in the plasmatic levels of these anaphylotoxins and their des-Arg derivates, as measured by RIA, in either dialyzer. The same was true when the dialysate in question had a different composition. We thus concluded that neither the geometric configuration of the dialyzer nor the composition of the dialysate influence their biocompatibility as regards the activation of the complement system, and that the differences that have been described shall have to be explained in another manner or assessed by methods other than those used in this study.     

Contribution to the study of the development of the terminal portion of the Wolffian duct and the ureter.

Ten human embryos ranging from 10 to 20 mm in vertex-coccyx length (Horizons XVI and XVII Streeter) aged between 33 +/- 1 and 39 +/- 1 days, were studied in order to interpret the mechanism which determines the displacement of the ureter from the dorsal part of the Wolffian duct toward the lateral wall of the bladder. We demonstrated that this movement occurs due to the fact that the duct common to the ureter and the Wolffian duct undergoes a process of internal rotation before it is absorbed by the urogenital sinus. This determines that the ureteral orifice enter the urogenital sinus laterally with respect to the Wolffian duct. This absorption indicates that the mucosa of the trigone is of mesoblastic origin and the remainder of the besical of endoblastic origin. The origin of the muscular apparatus of the detrusor is entirely mesoblastic.
