Virus particles in the cochlear spiral ganglion of guinea pigs.

All examined spiral ganglions of several guinea pig populations from different breeds showed intracytoplasmic viruses in some granular spiral ganglion cells. According to their localization and morphology we classify these viruses with the oncorna group. This is not in agreement with the classification of other authors.

[Ultrastructural morphometric changes in spiral ganglion cells of the rat after broad band noise (author's transl)].

The comparison of ultrastructural and ultrastructural-morphometric findings in spiral ganglion cells subsequent to broad noise with 105 dB SPL over a period of 40 min demonstrates that there are morphometric changes of the cytoarchitecture of granular ganglion cells even without evident ultrastructural changes. Morphometric analyses shows a significant extension of the volume proportion of mitochondria per unit volume cytoplasm. The volume and the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the volume of the free ribosomes and the average single volume of the nucleoli increase per granular ganglion cell.

[A comparative ultrastructural-morphometric study of the cochlear spiral ganglion in rats and guinea pigs (author's transl)].

The cochlear spiral ganglion of rats consists of 61.8% granular ganglion cells, 22.4% satellite cells and Schwann cells, 9.

[Oncorna-like virus particles in the cochlear spiral ganglion of guinea pigs (author's transl)].

Introduction: Virus particles in spiral ganglion cells of the guinea pig have been grouped with herpes viruses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this classification of the viruses and their influence on cell morphology.

Material And Methods: 20 healthy, adult guinea pigs from different breeds were studied.

[A case report of an esophageal fibrolipoma (author's transl)].

A case of a rare, large pedunculated esophageal fibrolipoma is reported. Early symptoms involved regurgitations into the oral cavity. Correction was accomplished by endoscopic removal of the growth.

[Influence of different fixation buffers on the quantitative cytoarchitecture of the cochlear spiral ganglion. A morphometric study (author's transl)].

The influence of two fixation buffers on the quantitative cytoarchitecture of the cochlear spiral ganglion in guinea pigs was evaluated morphometrically. After fixation with phosphate buffered 1.3% OsO4 granular spiral ganglion cells lost 45% of their average individual volume as compared to the volume after fixation with s-collidine buffered 1.

[Ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the spiral ganglion in guinea pigs (author's transl)].

This is the first morphometric analysis of the cochlear spiral ganglion. Therefore the ganglion was subdivided in precisely defined compartments. We found that the normal, untreated spiral ganglion in guinea pigs contains 58% ganglion cells of the granular type, 26% satellite cells and Schwann cells, 8.

[Ultrastructural changes of the stria vaseularis and the spiral ligament in chronic uremic rats (author's transl)].

Looking for the morphological correlation of uremic inner ear damage a 5/6 resection of kidney parenchyma in rats was performed. A biochemically proven chronic uremia was so created. The ultrastructural examination of the stria vascularis showed a marked swelling of the intermediate cells, compressing occasionally stria vessels.

[A contribution to the radiological diagnosis of adenoids (author's transl)].

In 164 children we found a high grade correlation between radiological size of adenoids and intraoperativ findings. This is underlining the importance of X-ray diagnosis for adenoids compared to other examinations.

[Myelin sheets of spiral ganglion cells in rats and guinea pigs, an electronmicroscopical study (author's transl)].

Comparative studies of the spiral ganglion cells in guinea pigs and rats, subsequent to osmium and glutaraldehyde fixation were undertaken to demonstrate the structure of their myelin sheets. We believe that the myelin sheets consist only out of loose and compact myelin components, which can be seen using glutaraldehyde fixation. The so called semicompact myelin must be an artefact due to osmiumfixation followed by a slight shrinkage of the ganglion cells with tearing of the compact myelin.
