AbstractAg2S thin films of 90 nm to 300 nm in thickness were deposited at 70°C on glass substrates immersed in a bath mixture containing silver nitrate, sodium thiosulfate and dimethylthiourea. When the films are heated in nitrogen at temperatures 200°C to 400°C, crystallinity is improved and XRD pattern similar to that of acanthite is observed. These films possess electrical conductivity of 10-3 (ohm cm)-1, are photoconductive and exhibit an optical band gap of 1.36 eV. When Ag2S thin film is deposited over a thin film of Bi2S3, also obtained by chemical bath deposition from bismuth nitrate, triethanolamine and thioacetamide, and heated at 300°C to 400°C in nitrogen, a ternary compound, AgBiS2 is formed. This material has an electrical conductivity of 5x10-5 (ohm cm)-1, is photoconductive and possesses optical band gap 0.95 eV.

Much work has been carried out in our laboratories with the periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide silver methenamine(PATS) reaction, an improved variation of the periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) or periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide(TCH)-osmium tetroxide(PATCO) reactions. The PATS stain was used in many of our studies on the vascularization of hydroxylapatite/plaster of Paris implants for bone restoration. It was very useful in demonstrating the Type III collagen or reticulin of the pericapillary reticular network of the newly formed blood vessels. In the course of these studies the improved ability of silver methenamine solutions applied under microwave irradiation to deposit silver at sites of calcification or certain calcium compounds in our specimens was noted. Much more silver was deposited at these sites in femur sections of 5 day old mice after application of 1% silver methenamine soln (pH 9.6) for 1 min at 2450 MHZ and reducing with TCH for 30 seconds (Figs. 1,3,4) than by application of 5% silver nitrate for 30 minutes under bright light and reduction for 2 1/2 minutes with 5% sodium thiosulfate (Fig. 2).

Active Transport Mechanism

Elimination of radioiodide by the kidney of adult male rats pretreated with a single dose of propylthiouracil was measured. Rats given water or isotonic saccharose served as controls. Renal clearance of radioiodide (CI131) was greatly enhanced (up to 100-fold) by the sodium salts of chloride, perchlorate, stable iodide, bromide and bicarbonate, and by choline iodide, but not by sodium thiosulfate. Under most conditions CI131 markedly exceeded the CCl and CNa of the same animals, which suggest that renal tubules are less permeable to iodide than to chloride or sodium. CI131/CNa varied greatly, its magnitude being dependent on the loading solution used. CI131 showed no correlation with urine flow or excretion of endogenous creatinine-like chromogen (UCrV) when groups receiving different treatments were compared. Both urine flow and UCrV showed only minor variations among these groups. Our findings are most easily explained by the hypothesis that tubular reabsorption of iodide filtered by the glomeruli involves, possibly in addition to a passive process, an active transport mechanism capable of saturation by iodide and (competitive?) inhibition by other anions.

Axon Loss

BACKGROUND: An unpublished communication of a permanent facial paralysis secondary to silver nitrate application in a postoperative mastoid cavity with a dehiscent facial nerve raises concern regarding its neurotoxicity. This study was performed to examine functional neural injury and the morphology of nerve injury due to silver nitrate contact with a peripheral motor nerve. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley male rats were assigned to a sham surgery group or to a group where silver nitrate was applied directly to a surgically exposed sciatic nerve for 1, 5, or 10 seconds. Individual walking track data were collected on postoperative days (POD) 1, 4, 7, and 14, and the Sciatic Functional Index (SFI) was calculated to assess neural function. On POD 14, the cauterized nerve was harvested, and the histologic axon loss of each specimen was graded. RESULTS: In all experimental groups, the most severe functional loss was noted on POD 1. At POD 14 the greatest neural recovery was observed in the 1-second group, whereas the 5- and 10-second cautery groups demonstrated a significantly worse deficit. A moderate or greater degree of axon loss was observed in 50% of animals injured for 1 second and nearly all animals injured for 5 or 10 seconds. CONCLUSION: Functional and neuropathologic data demonstrate that silver nitrate causes significant injury to the rat sciatic nerve. A 5-second cautery causes greater functional impairment and more severe axonal loss than a 1-second injury.

Biochemical Alterations

Renal hypertrophy was induced in 100 g male rats by the injection of 250 mg folic acid (FA) dissolved in 0.3 M NaHCO3/kg body weight (i.v.). Preliminary studies of the biochemical alterations in ribonucleic acid (RNA) metabolism of the renal tissue have been reported recently (1). They are: RNA content and concentration, orotic acid-c14 incorporation into RNA and acid soluble nucleotide pool, intracellular localization of the newly synthesized RNA, and the specific activity of enzymes of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. The present report describes the light and electron microscopic observations in these animals. For light microscopy, kidney slices were fixed in formalin, embedded, sectioned, and stained with H & E and PAS.

Electrolytic lesions of the pituitary stalk in rats interrupt adenohypophysial blood flow and result in massive infarction of the anterior lobe. In order to obtain a deeper insight into the morphogenesis of tissue injury and to reveal the sequence of events, a fine structural investigation was undertaken on adenohypophyses of rats at various intervals following destruction of the pituitary stalk.The pituitary stalk was destroyed electrolytically, with a Horsley-Clarke apparatus on 27 male rats of the R-Amsterdam strain, weighing 180-200 g. Thirty minutes, 1,2,4,6 and 24 hours after surgery the animals were perfused with a glutaraldehyde-formalin solution. The skulls were then opened and the pituitary glands removed. The anterior lobes were fixed in glutaraldehyde-formalin solution, postfixed in osmium tetroxide and embedded in Durcupan. Ultrathin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and investigated with a Philips 300 electron microscope.

Biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, and more recently enzyme histo- chemical data have indicated that cholinergic circuits exist in the hypothalamus. Ultrastructural correlates of these pathways such as acetylcholinesterase (AchE) positive neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and stained terminals in the median eminence (ME) have yet to be described. Initial studies in our laboratories utilizing chemical lesioning and microdissection techniques coupled with microchemical and light microscopic enzyme histo- chemical studies suggested the existence of cholinergic neurons in the ARC which project to the ME (1). Furthermore, in adult male rats with Halasz deafferentations (hypothalamic islands composed primarily of the isolated ARC and the ME) choline acetyltransferase (ChAc) activity, a good marker for cholinergic neurons, was not significantly reduced in the ME and was only somewhat reduced in the ARC (2). Treatment of neonatal rats with high doses of monosodium 1-glutamate (MSG) results in a lesion largely restricted to the neurons of the ARC.
