Pattern of somatic segregation of the cytoplasmic drug-resistance factors in yeast.

The pattern of somatic segregation of the cytoplasmic factors confering resistances to chloramphenicol, erythromycin and oligomyin in S. cerevisiae was studied. The fractions of the zygotes heterozygous for the chloramphenicol-resistance factor and for the erythromycin-resistance factor decreased exponentially with generation number of zygotes. The rate of the segregation was highest for the chloramphenicol-resistance factor and lowest for the oligomycin-resistance factor. The segregation rate as well as the transmission polarity of the chloramphenicol-resistance factor varied with different carbon sources with which the parental haploids were grown prior to mating.

A histopathological study on the islets of Langerhans and ductal epithelial metaplasia in atrophic lobuli of pancreas.

In autopsy material isolated islets of Langerhans are frequently encountered in the fatty or the fibrous tissue replacing the pancreatic lobuli. The incidence of isolated islets of Langerhans was 27.0% in the file of a series of randomly selected 100 autopsy cases and increased with advancing age. Fifteen cases of these 27 showed multiple foci and the total number of foci counted 60. Fifty-two foci (86.7%) were found in the subcapsular area. Clusters of elastic fibers were found in 36 foci (60.0%). Small pancreatic ducts with goblet cell metaplasia were found in 29 foci (48.0%) in the surrounding tissue of the remaining islets of Langerhans. Squamous metaplasia was identified in only 1 focus (0.2%), and luminal dilatation of the duct was found in 4 foci (0.7%). Serial sections showed that the small duct ended without connection to acinar cells. "The isolated islets of Langerhans" should be the result of the atrophy of pancreatic lobuli subsequent to disappearance of acinar cells.
