[Comparative studies on the cholinesterase activity of cat and rabbit lower brainstem reticular formation]

PAPP Mátyás, BOZSIK György

[The authors used a modified Koelle method to investigate specific and non-specific ChE activation in FR cell groups of the lower brainstem. In the histochemical preparations, AChE activation in these cell groups was observed with higher intensity in the perikaryon, dendrites and along the cell membrane. AChE activity close to the cell membrane (extracellular) was already lower (5.0) in cats, whereas intracellular AChE activity was only present at higher (6.0) pH in the majority of FR cell groups. Based on the intensity and distribution of specific and non-specific ChE activation of neuronal cell groups belonging to the cat and rabbit lower brainstem FR, the rabbit brainstem and bridge FR can be divided into three caudooral cell columns. These are the column of raphe nuclei, the column of cells occupying the medial two-thirds of the FR (central n. oblongatae, n. gigantocellularis and paragigantocellu laris, central caudal and oral n. pontis) and the lateral column of cells, part of which is occupied by the lateral edge of the latter nuclei and the other part by n. parvocellularis. In addition, a fourth cell group is formed by the n. lateralis reticularis, n. paramedium reticularis and n. reticularis tegmentipontis. This latter group differs from the three orocaudally located cell groups, which most likely form the anatomical substratum of the ascending activating and descending reticular system, in terms of intensity of specific and non-specific ChE activation and distribution within a cell group. The lateral cell group, which is known to have a receptive and associative function, has a very weak enzyme activity, whereas the AChE activation of the neurons of the medial cell group, the starting site of the long descending and ascending reticular fibres, varies between weak and strong. The distribution of AChE activation in raphe nuclei differs from that of the adjacent medial cell group. The specificities of specific and non-specific ChE activation of the above cell groups may reflect their functional differences. It was also found that there were some differences in the AChE and ChE activation of the neuronal groups forming the FR of the lower brainstem of the two animals. ]

[Our experience with Dipsan on alcohol in the treatment of alcoholic TB patients with aversion]

VÁRADY Tamás, LITTAUER András

[They describe their experience with calcium carbimide (Dipsan) inversion therapy in 36 patients with alcoholic pulmonary tuberculosis. They conclude that Dipsan, which causes virtually no side effects, can be used in the withdrawal treatment of alcoholics with other chronic diseases. ]
