Morphology and electrophysiological properties of cutaneous sensilla in agamid lizards.

The external morphology of agamid cutaneous sensille has been studied by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Electrophysiological recordings from single organs were obtained in response to mechanical bending of the centrally located long seta. In this way the mechanoreceptive function of reptilian cutaneous sensilla has been established for the first time.

Structure and position of receptors within scales bordering the toes of gekkonids.

In gekkonids, the scales bordering the toes or the adjacent tissue possess suberpidermal and intraepithelial receptors in addition to setae-bearing organs. The position of subepidermal lamellated corpuscles seems to be correlated with the size of the species. The larger the adult animal the more frequently is this type of receptor found laterally in the toe. This can be explained in connection with the vibration-sensitive function of lamellated receptors. Intraepithelial axon terminals were found close to the setae-bearing sensilla in one species only. They are surrounded by numerous tonofibrils and may function as receptors for mechanical (pressure)-stimuli.

[Comparative studies on preoperative skin disinfection].

The antibacterial effects of Sepso-tincture, Kodan, Dibromol, and 70% ethanol as disinfectants were compared on the skin of 34 patients of the first surgical department of the general hospital in Hamburg-Barmbek. Special attention was paid to the regeneration of microorganisms in relation to time. The result was that the tested substances showed an almost equal effect after 2 min. However, after 10, and 60 min the tests showed considerable divergencies. In comparison, therefore, with the other substances, it could be proved that the least regeneration of microorganisms was observed after application of Sepso-tincture (significance after 10 min: P less than 0.01, after 60 min: P less than 0.05).
