An attempt has been made to adapt the acid phosphatase method of Gomori to the demonstration of desoxyribonuclease II activity. The procedure as used is subject to the disadvantages of the original method. The enzymatic activity may be demonstrable only when desoxyribonuclease and nucleotidase activity occur in the same types of cells. Although the staining occurred mainly within discrete cells, the intracellular localization apparent under these conditions of study may well be artifact. In the spleen, the stainning occurs mainly in the red pulp and in a ring of cells, possibly macrophages, surrounding the lymphatic nodules. Hepatic and Kupffer cells stain as do cells in the tubules of the kidney cortex and in the intestinal mucosa.

Important Site

Hemolytic anemias were produced in rats by administering phenylhydrazine or anti-erythrocytic (rooster) serum, the latter having agglutinin and hemolysin titers exceeding 1:1000.Following administration of phenylhydrazine, the erythrocytes undergo oxidative damage and are removed from the circulation by the cells of the reticulo-endothelial system, predominantly by the spleen. With increasing dosage or if animals are splenectomized, the Kupffer cells become an important site of sequestration and are greatly hypertrophied. Whole red cells are the most common type engulfed; they are broken down in digestive vacuoles, as shown by the presence of acid phosphatase activity (Fig. 1). Heinz body material and membranes persist longer than native hemoglobin. With larger doses of phenylhydrazine, erythrocytes undergo intravascular fragmentation, and the particles phagocytized are now mainly red cell fragments of varying sizes (Fig. 2).

Antisecretory Factor

Antisecretory factor (AF) was identified as a pituitary protein that inhibits the intestinal fluid secretion induced by cholera toxin. One aim of this study was to elucidate whether AF is also synthesized in the intestine or if AF produced in the pituitary is transported to the intestinal tract for its function there. cDNA clones encoding a protein proposed to be AF were isolated from rat pituitary gland and intestinal mucosa cDNA libraries. The nucleotide sequences of clones isolated from the rat pituitary gland and intestinal mucosa were identical. The deduced amino acid sequence was highly homologous to the sequence for subunit 5a of the human 26S protease that exists abundantly in the cytosol and nucleus. The production of AF in the intestine was confirmed by Northern blot and immunoblot analyses. Immunocytochemical observations of cells transfected with the rat AF cDNA showed that the AF protein was localized in the cytoplasm. These findings suggest that the protein proposed to be AF may be a cytoplasmic protein, it exists in the intestine rather than being transported from the pituitary gland, and it may function in intestinal cells.Key words: rat antisecretory factor, 26S protease, S5a, cytoplasmic protein.

During the growth of plant, the very distinct increase of enzymatic activity of peroxidase and catalase was observed, but in case of acid phosphatase in smaller degree. An irrigation caused the decreasing of activity of all tested enzymes in both stages of cabbage growth. However, in case of leeks leaves sprinkling irrigation stimulated activity of catalase and acid phosphatase in both stages and peroxidase in the second stage of growth. The effectiveness of the mineral nutritive was differentiated, and often correlated with a level of soil moisture, kind of plant and its stage of growth.

Staining Methods

The phosphatases in the cytoplasm and nuclei of Drosophila salivary glands are better preserved by fixation in absolute acetone than in 85 per cent, alcohol. In whole glands there is relatively little extraction of the enzyme during assay. Phosphatase activity is more resistant to incubation at neutrality than at pH 8.6, but in this material there is sufficient residual enzymatic activity to permit redetermination of alkaline, neutral, or acid phosphatase activity by staining methods after an initial quantitative determination. The state of the membranes of the gland affects the penetration of the substrate sufficiently to limit the activities obtained.

Organic Fertilisation

A three-year pot experiment carried out in the vegetation hall in 2014–2016 included studying the enzymatic activity of soil, into which various amounts of copper: (100, 200 and 300 mg Cu/kg soil) and organic materials (cattle manure, chicken manure, post-mushroom substrate) were introduced, used separately, at a soil-introduction dose of 2 g C<sub>org</sub>/kg. Copper and organic materials were used once, only in the first year of the study, before sowing test plant orchard grass. In soil collected after the last (fourth) swath of grass in each year of the study, the activity of urease, dehydrogenases, acid, and alkaline phosphatase was determined. Applications of copper to the soil, regardless of its dose, resulted in a decrease in urease, dehydrogenases and alkaline phosphatase and an increase in acid phosphatase activity. The inactivating effect of this metal on the activity of urease, dehydrogenases and alkaline phosphatase increased with the increase of its dose. Organic fertilisation generally increased the enzymatic activity of the analysed soil. In subsequent years of the study, urease and alkaline phosphatase activity decreased, while acid phosphatase activity increased. Dehydrogenase activity did not change significantly in subsequent years of the study.

Foram estudados os efeitos do metalaxil sobre a microbiota de solos coletados nos municípios paulistas de Aguai, Estiva Gerbi e Jaguariúna (Brasil), suplementados com doses de 3 e 30 µg i.a. g-1 de metalaxil pelo período de 32 dias. Populações de bactérias, actinomicetos e fungos foram monitoradas mediante contagem em placas com meios de cultura seletivos e pela atividade enzimática da fosfatase ácida (Pase) e desidrogenase (Dhase). A Pase foi avaliada pelo método da p-nitrofenilfosfatase e a Dhase pela quantificação do vermelho formazan produzido. Houve predominância de populações bacterianas em todos os solos, sendo os maiores valores de UFC g-1 observados nos solos suplementados com a dose de 30 µg i.a. g-1 de metalaxil. Populações de fungos apresentaram acentuado decréscimo após a incorporação do composto. A atividade Dhase foi inibida pela presença de metalaxil nos solos arenoso e controle. No solo argiloso houve acréscimo dessa atividade, mais significativo no período de 7 a 21 dias, nas duas doses de suplementação avaliadas. A atividade da Pase foi inibida em todos os três solos. METALAXIL ON SOIL MICROBIOT AND ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY Abstract The effects of Metalaxyl on soil microorganisms collected in Sao Paulo districts of Aguai, Estiva, Gerbi and Jaguariuna (Brazil), supplemented with doses of 3 and 30 µg a.i g-1 for the period of 32 days were studied. Bacterial, actinomycets and fungi were monitored by plate counting and by acid phosphatase (Pase) and dehydrogenase enzymatic activity (Dhase). The Pase was evaluated by the method of p-nitrophenilphosphatase and the Dhase by the quantification of the produced red formazan. Predominance of bacterial population was observed in all soils, being the higher values of CFU g-1 observed in soils supplemented with the dose of 30 µg a.i g-1 of Metalaxyl. Fungal population presented accentuated decrease after compost incorporation. Dhase activity was inhibited by the presence of Metalaxyl in sandy and control soils. In clay soils the activity was incremented, being more significant in the period of 7 to 21 days, in both supplementation doses. Pase activity was inhibited in all three soils.

The focus of this article is to provide informations about soil enzymatic activity as a biological indicator for impacts of pesticides on soils. In this experiment, an ecological soil was treated with two types of fungicide (Ridomil Gold and Bravo 500) and two of insecticides (Mospilan 20SG and Vertimec 1.8% EC). The pesticides were assessed for their effect on different enzymatic activities. They were administrated over a 28 days period and the samples of soil were taken once every 7 days and analyzed in the laboratory. For each sample was determined the enzymatic activity, pH, humidity. The enzymatic activity was assessed using colorimetrical methods. Enzymes chosen for this study were cellulase, amylase, xylanase, urease, alkaline and acid phosphatase. Results shown that the enzymatic activity can increase or decrease when the soil was treated with the fungicides and insecticides chosen for this experiment.

Abstract A patient without prostatic carcinoma had a high concentration of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP; EC 3.1.3.2) in his serum. This PAP was bound to IgG ("macro-PAP"), and IgG autoantibodies against PAP were demonstrated in serum. The patient's IgG prolonged the biological half-life of radiolabeled PAP in rats, suggesting that the formation of IgG-PAP complexes was responsible for decreased PAP catabolism. Furthermore, macro-PAP was inactivated in serum more slowly than PAP. These factors accounted for the increases in the enzymatic activity and antigenic concentration of PAP measured in the patient's serum. Inappropriate therapy was prescribed on the basis of this laboratory result. The diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma requires clinical or histological evidence of malignant disease, and should not rely solely on PAP measurements.

Adipose tissue in various stages of fish oil-induced yellow fat disease in the rat had the same acid phosphatase and 5-nucleotidase activity pattern as similar stages of the disorder in mink and pig. A weak acid phosphatase and 5-nucleotidase activity was seen in interstitial lipofuscin-laden macrophages in “stage M” yellow fat disease without fat cell degeneration. Activity of these macrophagic enzymes increased when there was fat cell degeneration (“stage S” and “stage E” yellow fat disease). This different phosphatase activity in the same cell type may result from phagocytosis of substrates with variable digestibility. Macrophages directly surrounding affected fat cells in steatitis areas (“stage S” and “stage E”) had strong acid phosphatase and 5-nucleotidase activity. As in the pig, increased 5-nucleotidase activity was found in affected fat cells, which probably indicates plasma membrane damage. Increased nonspecific esterase activity occurred around affected fat cells. Only a small part of this esterase activity originated from inflammatory cells. This indicates that an increase of esterase activity in degenerating adipose tissue may be an endogeneous process in this tissue.
