[The Duffy blood group system in the determination of paternity].

Authors report in detail recent achievments the investigation of Duffy's blood group system. Genetics of the system is shortly reviewed. Results of their own population-genetical investigation--carried out on 723 non-related persons by the aid of anti-Fy(a) and anti-Fy(b) serum--are also described. According to the author's data frequency of the phenotype Fy(a+b-)=19,63%, of the phenotype Fy(a+b)=50,91%, and of the phenotype Fy(a-b+)=29.46%. Data of the gene-frequency: Fya=0,451; Fyb=0,549. Presence of the gene Fy(-) was not revealed. The Duffy system--among others--was examined in 299 cases of discussed paternity. In 30 cases (10.3%) paternity was excluded on the base of it. In 31 men (8.29%) out of 374 the paternity cystem. Maximal (theoretical) chance of exclusion calculated from the data got in own investigations: 18.625%. Examined and calculated values of the chance of exclusion in cases of opposed homozygotes (12.26%) and in cases of the lack of characteristics (6.36%) were similar to a suitable degree. Technical problems of the investigation are further discussed. Author recommend the use of the examination of Duffy system in cases of discussed paternity.

Use of chellators in the electron microscopic detection of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase.

Even when using modified WACHSTEIN-MEISEL procedure for the detection of mitochondrial ATP-ase it is difficult to avoid the non-specific reaction. Separation of the artefact from the precipitate of citric hydrolysis can be carried out only with difficulty. 20 mM of penicillin G amine or 40 mM of ascorbic acid in the incubation solution leads to selective localization. Ascorbic acid can also be used in the form of a 0.2 M tris and 0.05 M ascorbic acid buffer. With the use of chellators it is possible to eliminate factors which under pathological conditions greatly favour the formation of the artefact.

Alterations of the Z-band in cardiac and skeletal muscles.

The heart muscle may react to various hypoxic damaging effects (e.g.N2, CO, haemorrhagic shock, electroshock) by identical responses similarly as in the case of skeletal muscle damages. One of the early manifestations of the process is the alteration of the Z-band, which is considered pathological. The alterations of the Z-band region precede the changes of the mitochondrial and sacrotubular systems and might form the morphological basis of functional changes induced by hypoxic effects. The alterations observed are differentiated from the hypertrophy of the Z-band. In the development of the alterations of the Z-band the role of other factors (e.g. calcium metabolism, sacroplasmatic membrane changes) is emphasized.

Ultrastructure and cytochemistry of cardiac intramitochondrial glycogen.

Authors have observed abnormalities of glycogen localization in cardiac muscle, after normothermic cardiac arrest. The identification of these intramitrochondrial particles as glycogen was confirmed by selective staining with periodic acid-lead citrat, periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide protein methods and by their selective removal from tissue sections by alfa-amylase. The intramitochondrial glycogen particles were of beta-type. Some intramitochondrial particles were surrounded by paired membranes which resulted from protrusion of parts of mitochondrial membrane.

[Anoxic myocardial lesions in man, developed during extracorporeal circulation, studied by electron microscopy].

Anoxemic changes of the myocardium were examined at 20 patients operated on in extracorporal circulation. At a mild degree hypothermia (30 degrees C) morphological changes appear after a 20 minutes period of anoxaemia. Damage to the myocard of irreversible character could be revealed after an anoxaemic period of 43--55 minutes. An intermitting perfusion of the coronary arteries delayes the formation of the lesions, although in cases of ligation of the aorta for 90 minutes severe mitochondrial changes and deformation of cells were seen. The best method for protecting the myocard is an isotherm perfusion of the coronary arteries. Clinical and laboratory findings show that necrosis of the myocard has a focal character and may play a part in formation of postoperative lesions.

Ultrastructural changes in the lungs induced by extracorporeal perfusion.

The changes induced in the lungs have been studied, in the course of 15 heart operations with extracorporeal circulation. In each case material was obtained from lungs after the thoracotomy, before starting the perfusion and after its termination. The pulmonary structure showed changes against the control material already prior to perfusion, the most conspicuous alternations of the capillary endothelial cells and of the basal membrane. Examination of the surfactant by ruthenium red demonstrated changes in the reaction; from this circumstance the conclusion has been drawn that affection of the surfactant may have a part in the postperfusion syndrome.

Electron microscopic studies on the aryl-sulphatase activity of the pineal gland.

On applying p-Nitrocatechinsulphate (2-Hydroxy-5-nitrophenylsulphate) as substrate, characteristic positivity was demonstrable in the pineal gland. The reaction was localized to the Golgi system and to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, producing in them a homogenous, in the primary lysosomes a fine granulated strongly electron scattering precipitate. The development of primary lysosomes was well detectable with histochemical reaction at the level of both the Golgi apparate and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Membrane limited bodies occurring in the cells corresponded to autolysosomes. Negative reaction was obtained with para-nitro-phenylsulphate and acethyl-phenylsulphate. The presence of KCN and pCMB inhibited the reaction.
