From the Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill. J. A. M. A. 143: 1390-1396, 1950. This review of “mveloid metaplasia” is based on a study of 12 cases in which the diagnosis was made on clinical, hematologic and pathologic grounds; and on study of comparative anatomic, embryologic and experimental considerations of hematopoiesis. “Myeloid metaplasia,” it is pointed out, can l)e diagnosed only by biopsy of liver or spleen, although certain clinical and hematologic features are common to patients with this disorder (weakness , hemorrhagic tendency , leuko-erythroblastic anemia , hepatosplenomegaly) . The bone marrow, it was found, might be fibrotic, hyperplastic or infiltrated with neoplasm. An underlying etiologic disease might he present (tuberculosis, metastatic carcinoma, osteoscierosis, et al.) ; or “myeloid metaplasia” might he idiopathic. The authors consider “rnyeloid metaplasia” to be a nonspecific response of primitive, multipotential cells of the liver and spleen to a variety of stimuli. They stress that this response is fundamentally different from leukemia; whence the importance in differentiation of the two diseases, since treatment and prognosis are different-SE. THE BI ooD OF GASTROPOD MOLLUSCS. W. C. George and J. H. Ferguson. From the Department of Anatomy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N. C. J. Morphol. 86: 315-327, 1950. The field of comparative hematology is very large and interesting but relatively few papers have been published on this subject within recent years. Material for the present investigation was obtained chiefly from the gastropod mollusc Busycon carica. The circulating blood contains three types of cells: (1) lymphoid cells which are relatively scarce, (2) granular macrophages which are the largest and most numerous and (3) eosinophilie granular amoel)ocytes. Some hemopoiesis takes place intravascularly by mitosis. Plasma turns blue upon exposure to air due to the presence of hemocyanin. Extravasated blood does not coagulate hut the cells agglutinate.-O.P.J. THE TIME FACTOR IN LETHAL EFFECTS OF TOTAL ROENTGEN IRRADIATION IN TRITON. V. V. Brunst and E. A. Sheremetieva-Brunst. From the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. Am. J. Roentgenol. 62: 550-554, 1949. The authors have exposed adult Tritons (triton cristatus, amphibia, u odela) to equivalent amounts of roentgen radiation in a single or fractional dose. Their results indicate that the lethal effects of the irradiation are related to the total dosage rather than the manner in which it is given.-C.A.F.

متن کاملGlutathione peroxidase deficiency with increased susceptibility to erythrocyte Heinz body formation.
1. The production of Heinz bodies, after incubation of erythrocytes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide vapour, was significantly greater in erythrocytes with abnormally low glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity than in cells with normal enzyme activity. 2. The addition of the catalase inhibitor, sodium azide, to the incubation mixture, increased the formation of Heinz bodies after exposure...
متن کاملUnstable hemoglobins: the role of heme loss in Heinz body formation.
Mutant, unstable hemoglobins precipitate as Heinz bodies in circulating red blood cells resulting in their premature hemolysis. We stress that generally these hemoglobins contain amino acid substitutions in the beta-chain of globin near the heme pocket, and demonstrate that heme binding suffers thereby. Four genetically unstable hemoglobins lost roughly half their heme content while precipitati...
متن کاملMolecular Biosensing Mechanisms in the Spleen for the Removal of Aged and Damaged Red Cells from the Blood Circulation
Heinz bodies are intraerythrocytic inclusions of hemichrome formed as a result of hemoglobin (Hb) oxidation. They typically develop in aged red cells. Based on the hypothesis that hemichrome formation is an innate characteristic of physiologically normal Hb molecules, we present an overview of our previous findings regarding the molecular instability of Hb and the formation of hemichrome, as we...
متن کاملThe role of hemoglobin heme loss in Heinz body formation: studies with a partially heme-deficient hemoglobin and with genetically unstable hemoglobins.
A number of mutant hemoglobins are inordinately unstable, denaturing in circulating red cells into Heinz bodies, resulting in congenital Heinz body hemolytic anemia (CHBHA). We have emphasized that most such hemoglobins involve amino acid substitutions at sites neighboring the heme group of the beta-polypeptide chain, and have shown that heme binding to globin is diminished thereby. Thus, hemes...
متن کاملQuantitative relationship between Heinz body formation and red blood cell deformability.
The ultimate cause of destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) after oxidative damage with Heinz body formation is not well understood. We correlated the changes in RBC morphology and membrane protein composition after oxidant treatment with the alterations in deformability of whole cells and cell membranes. The incubation of RBCs with phenylhydrazine concentrations of 0.3 to 100 mg/dL at 37 degre...
