Formaldehyde-Schiff's reagent as a nucleolar strain.

The use of formaldehyde-Schiff's reagent as a nucleolar stain has been described. Using different digestion procedures, it was confirmed that the stain is specific for RNA. It can be suitably used as a nucleolar stain, particularly in plant materials after a short TCA extraction, which probably extracts the nonbound RNA.

Chromosomal banding and karyotype analysis in an Ehrlich mouse ascites tumor cell line.

The karyotype and the banding pattern of chromosomes through different techniques following Giemsa staining have been worked out in an Ehrlich mouse ascites tumour cell line. The stemline cells show a mode at 74-76. A metacentric chromosome is present in almost all the cells. Some cells show a long telocentric chromosome with a possible secondary constriction. C-bands are restricted at the telomeric regions of the chromosomes excepting in the metacentric one. From the banding pattern it seems that the nucleolar organizers are located at the telomeric region. No band is associated with the second constriction of the long telocentric chromosome. It is suggested that the long metacentric chromosome has arisen out of a Robertsonian translocation involving end to end centromeric fusion of two non-homologue chromosomes.

Observations on thyroid function tests in the elderly.

One hundred elderly men and women living in old people's homes and 95 in a long-stay geriatric hospital were investigated for thyroid function by measuring the serum thyroxine, T-3 uptake and calculating the free thyroxine index. The values obtained were found to be within the normal adult range in 97% of the subjects studied. No significant correlation was found between albumin and T-3 uptake, except in men in hospital.
