Fine structural study of interdigital membranes during formation of the digits of the duck foot reveals that the interdigital necrosis is accompanied by a high deposition of collagenous material in the epithelio—mesenchymal interface, rupture of the basal lamina and detachment of ectodermal cells into the amniotic sac. These changes are similar to those observed in the regressing interdigital membrane of the chick although their intensity and temporal extension are less pronounced in the duck. It is suggested that these changes account for the disappearance of the marginal zone of the duck interdigital membranes. The possible causal relationship between the different structural changes are discussed.

There is recent evidence showing that in addition to the well-known mesenchymal necrotic mechanism involved in the disappearance of the interdigital membranes, the ectodermal tissue may also play an active role in the formation of the free digits of most vertebrates. Ultrastructural study of the regressing interdigital membrane of the chick leg revealed significant changes at the epitheliomesenchymal interface. Disruptions of the ectodermal basal lamina and an intense deposition of collagenous material were the most conspicuous changes observed in the extracellular matrix. In addition the basal ectodermal cells showed prominent cell processes projected into the mesenchymal core of the membrane, and mesenchymal macrophages appeared to migrate through the epithelial tissue to be detached into the amniotic sac. It is concluded from our results that the elimination of the interdigital membranes is a complex process requiring the interaction of all the tissue components of the membrane.

Effect Of Light

The number and size of the vacuoles in the retinal clubs of the eye of Dendrocoelum lacteum increase considerably in animals kept in darkness. As a consequence, the volume of the whole retinal club enlarges, the microvilli forming its marginal zone becoming shorter and thicker. When exposed to light, the retinal clubs regain their original structure; the number and size of the vacuoles diminish and the zone of the microvilli widens. These structural changes are interpreted as due to a photosensitive substance which is produced in the axial cytoplasm of the club, stored in vacuoles and disintegrated by light in the zone of the microvilli.

Bean Leaves

Etiolated bean leaves supplied δ-amino-levulinic acid in the dark synthesize large amounts of protochlorophyllide which is not converted to chlorophyllide upon illumination of the leaves. The fine structure of the proplastids is not affected by the treatment. When leaves containing "inactive" protochlorophyllide are exposed to light of 700 ft-c for 3 hours, they lose practically all their green pigments. During this period large stacks of closed membrane structures are built up in the region of the prolamellar body. These lamellar structures remain even when no or only traces of pigment are left in the leaves. In untreated control leaves the pigment content remained constant during similar illumination and the structural changes in the plastids consisted of a rearrangement of the vesicles from the prolamellar bodies into strands dispersed through the stroma; lamellae and grana formation occurred later.

Chromosomal Changes

Clinical, histologic, cytogenetic, and molecular genetic data of 31 patients with extranodal, nodal, and splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) are presented. Despite these variable clinical manifestations, a similar spectrum of morphologic features as well as distinctive immunophenotypic findings were noted. In all cases, a monotypic B-cell proliferation consistently negative for CD5, CD10, and CD23 was found expanding the marginal zone of the B follicle with and without colonization of the follicle centers. Clonal chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 23 of the 31 patients. Recurrent aberrations included whole or partial trisomy 3 (18 cases), trisomy 18 (9 cases), and structural rearrangements of chromosome 1 with breakpoints in 1q21 (9 cases) or 1p34 (6 cases), all of which were seen in extranodal, nodal, as well as splenic MZBCL. Abnormalities of the additional chromosome 3, such as +del(3)(p13),+i(3)(q10), or structural changes involving the distal part of the long arm, were evident in 9 of the 18 cases. All recurrent abnormalities were found in MZBCL more frequently than in other histologic entities of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). None of the known lymphoma-associated chromosomal changes or rearrangements of the BCL1, BCL2, BCL3, BCL6, and CMYC genes were detected. We conclude that MZBCL represent a distinct entity of B- NHL with characteristic morphologic and immunophenotypic features and particular chromosomal abnormalities, and that a close histogenetic relationship between extranodal, nodal, and splenic MZBCL is likely, although the clinical presentation may vary.

CONVERSAZIONES were held this year on 9 May and 27 June. At the first conversazione twenty-seven exhibits and two films were shown. The fine structure of plant roots in relation to transport of nutrient ions and water was demonstrated by Dr D. T. Clarkson of the A.R.C. Letcombe Laboratory, Wantage and Dr A. W. Robards of the Department of Biology, University of York. Two major pathways by which nutrients and water move radially across the cortex towards the central vascular tissue have been distinguished by the use of tracer studies of adsorption by different zones of intact root systems, microautoradiography and electron microscopy. Movement can be apoplastic through cell walls, or symplastic between cells joined by plasmodesmata. As the root ages, structural changes in the endodermis reduce movement in the former pathway but the symplast is not interrupted by the elaboration of endodermal walls because plasmodesmatal connexions remain intact. These observations help explain the contrasting extent to which different ions and water reach the shoot from young and mature parts of root systems.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the causal link between foreign direct investment (FDI) and exports in China based on the knowledge capital model (KK model, Markusen, 2002). Design/methodology/approach The bootstrap Granger full-sample and sub-sample rolling window causality test is used to determine whether FDI can promote exports. Findings The full-sample causality test indicates no causal relationship from FDI to exports. However, considering structural changes of exports and FDI, the authors’ find that the full-sample test is not reliable. Instead, the authors use the rolling window causality test to revisit the dynamic causal relationship, and the results present significant effects from FDI on exports, mostly around periods in which the proportion of FDI from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is increasing. Specifically, positive impacts of FDI on exports are stronger than the negative impacts in China. Research limitations/implications The findings in this study suggest a significant time-varying nature of the correlation between FDI and exports. The promotion effect of FDI to exports is proved by the rolling window approach; it thus supports the KK model that divides FDI into lateral FDI and vertical FDI and proves that the constitution of FDI is critical to the relationship between FDI and exports. Practical implications China has been facing adjustment of its economic structure in recent years, and in this situation, increasing the proportion of FDI that can bring advanced production function is critical for the industrial structural adjustment. Originality/value This paper uses the bootstrap rolling window causality test to investigate the time-varying nature of the causality between FDI and exports, considering structural changes for the first time. The authors further deepen the previous research and draw a more realistic conclusion.
