Abstract
The correlation between calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration and electrophysiological recovery in crushed peripheral nerves has not been studied. Observing and quantifying the Ca2+ intensity in live normal and crushed peripheral nerves was performed using a novel microfine tearing technique and Calcium Green-1 Acetoxymethyl ester stain, a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. Ca2+ was shown to be homogeneously distributed in the myelinated sheaths. After a crush injury, there was significant stasis in the injured zone and the portion distal to the injury. The Ca2+ has been almost completely absorbed after 24 weeks in the injured nerve to be similar to the controls. The process of the calcium absorption was correlated with the Compound Muscle Action Potential recovery process of the injured nerves. This correlation was statistically significant (r = -0.81, P < 0.05). The better understanding of this process will help us to improve nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.

Abstract
Hyphal tip growth is a complex process involving finely regulated interactions between the synthesis and expansion of cell wall and plasma membrane, diverse intracellular movements, and turgor regulation. F-actin is a major regulator and integrator of these processes. It directly contributes to (a) tip morphogenesis, most likely by participation in an apical membrane skeleton that reinforces the apical plasma membrane, (b) the transport and exocytosis of vesicles that contribute plasma membrane and cell wall material to the hyphal tips, (c) the localization of plasma membrane proteins in the tips, and (d) cytoplasmic and organelle migration and positioning. The pattern of reorganization of F-actin prior to formation of new tips during branch initiation also indicates a critical role in early stages of assembly of the tip apparatus. One of the universal characteristics of all critically examined tip-growing cells, including fungal hyphae, is the obligatory presence of a tip-high gradient of cytoplasmic Ca2+ that probably regulates both actin and nonactin components of the apparatus, and the formation of which may also initiate new tips. This review discusses the diversity of evidence behind these concepts.

Abstract
Electron probe x-ray microanalysis (EPMA) is a quantitative electron microscope technique that measures both water content (percentage water) and total (free plus bound) concentrations of biological elements in selected morphological compartments. Unlike other methods for determination of ion/element concentrations, EPMA permits simultaneous quantitation of several elements (Na, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, and Mg) and allows optical differentiation of nervous tissue cell types (i.e, neurons, glia) with subsequent analysis of respective submembrane regions or organelles (e.g, axoplasm, mitochondria, nuclei). EPMA, therefore, represents a powerful tool for extending our current understanding of elements/ions in neurophysiological processes. In addition, it is presumed that neuropathic injury disrupts normal intraneuronal Na+, K+, and Ca2+ distribution and that the structural and functional consequences are mediated by ion translocation. However, little specific information is available regarding how translocated ions distribute among subcellular anatomical compartments after injury. EPMA quantification of ion/element changes associated with various nervous tissue injury models has helped to elucidate corresponding pathophysiological mechanisms. In this review, we will discuss EPMA and the realized, as well as potential, contributions of this technique to deciphering the role of ions in neuronal physiology and pathophysiology. Our recent studies of axon degeneration during acrylamide intoxication will be described to illustrate the utility of EPMA.

Abstract
Axon degeneration is a hallmark consequence of chemical neurotoxicant exposure (e.g., acrylamide), mechanical trauma (e.g., nerve transection, spinal cord contusion), deficient perfusion (e.g., ischemia, hypoxia), and inherited neuropathies (e.g., infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy). Regardless of the initiating event, degeneration in the PNS and CNS progresses according to a characteristic sequence of morphological changes. These shared neuropathologic features suggest that subsequent degeneration, although induced by different injury modalities, might evolve via a common mechanism. Studies conducted over the past two decades indicate that Ca2+ accumulation in injured axons has significant neuropathic implications and is a potentially unifying mechanistic event. However, the route of Ca2+ entry and the involvement of other relevant ions (Na+, K+) have not been adequately defined. In this overview, we discuss evidence for reverse operation of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger as a primary route of Ca2+ entry during axon injury. We propose that diverse injury processes (e.g., axotomy, ischemia, trauma) which culminate in axon degeneration cause an increase in intraaxonal Na+ in conjunction with a loss of K+ and axolemmal depolarization. These conditions favor reverse Na+-Ca2+ exchange operation which promotes damaging extraaxonal Ca2+ entry and subsequent Ca2+-mediated axon degeneration. Deciphering the route of axonal Ca2+ entry is a fundamental step in understanding the pathophysiologic processes induced by chemical neurotoxicants and other types of nerve damage. Moreover, the molecular mechanism of Ca2+ entry can be used as a target for the development of efficacious pharmacotherapies that might be useful in preventing or limiting irreversible axon injury.

Abstract
The calcium distribution in the ampullary electroreceptor and the type B electroreceptor organ (gymnarchomast) of Gymnarchus niloticus (Glymnarchidae) and in the tuberous organ of Apteronotus leptorhynchus (gymnotidae) was studied. Endogenous calcium appeared as electron-dense precipitates when the cutaneous organs were pre-fixed with phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde and postfixed with osmium tetroxide plus potassium bichromate. Calcium precipitates were localized in both intracellular compartments of sensory cells, and afferent nerve fibers. In contrast to sensory cells, small amounts of calcium precipitates were found in the cytoplasm of accessory cells. In sensory cells, electron-dense deposits were apparent mainly in synaptic vesicles near synaptic ribbons, inside vacuoles of the endoplasmic reticulum, and between the layers of the nuclear membrane. Very few deposits were found in mitochondria. Precipitates were also observed within the axons of afferent nerves and between the layers of the myelin sheath. The synaptic cleft was devoid of calcium. Calcium deposits have a specific cellular distribution in electroreceptor organs of teleost fish.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium levels are stringently regulated in all cells. The nature of this regulation is incompletely understood, but recent evidence indicates that the endoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in sequestering intracellular calcium. Using methods for isolating both calsequestrin and calreticulin, we have isolated a 58 kDa, high capacity calcium binding protein that exists in microsomes that shift their density in an oxalate-mediated density shift assay. This protein which we call CBP-58 bears similarities to the endoplasmic reticulum protein, calreticulin, in that it has a pI of 4.7 containing approximately 30% glutamate and aspartate, has a high capacity for calcium, and stains blue with the carbocyanine dye, 'Stains-all'. Peptide, amino acid, nucleotide and immunochemical analyses reveal further similarities between CBP-58 and calreticulin, but also some marked differences. Its tissue distribution suggests it is highly enriched in brain versus other tissues. We believe that CBP-58 is a calreticulin-like protein and that differences in the amino acid composition and sequences may reflect species diversity in calreticulin.

Abstract
Regulation of elements and water in nerve cells is a complex, multifaceted process which appears to be vulnerable to neurotoxic events. However, much of our knowledge concerning the potential role of elements in nerve cell injury is limited by the relatively gross level of corresponding analyses. If we are to confirm and understand the proposed role, more precise and detailed information is needed. As indicated in this commentary, research employing electron probe microanalysis and digital X-ray imaging has begun to provide this necessary information. Recent EPMA studies of nerve and glial cells in the peripheral and central nervous systems have shown that each cell type and their corresponding morphologic compartments exhibit unique distributions of elements and water. The use of microprobe analysis has allowed us to document precisely how elements and water redistribute in morphological compartments of damaged nerve cells. Accumulating evidence from EPMA studies suggests that, rather than being an epiphenomenon, intracellular changes in diffusible elements might mediate the functional and structural consequences of neurotoxic insult. It is also evident from this research that elements other than Ca might play a pertinent role in the injury response and that changes in intraneuronal elemental composition might develop according to a specific temporal pattern, e.g., transection-induced sequential alterations in axonal K, Na, Cl, and Ca. Therefore, rather than conducting end-point studies, longitudinal investigations are necessary to define the sequential pattern of elemental perturbation associated with a given neurotoxic event. Such research can also help identify the role of individual elements in the injury response. Future microprobe studies should be combined with measurements of ion levels (e.g., using fura-2 or ion selective electrodes) to provide a comprehensive and dynamic view of elemental deregulation. In addition, parallel biochemical studies should be performed to determine mechanisms of elemental disruption and possible biochemical and metabolic consequences of this disruption. Although evidence presented in this commentary suggests that each type of neurotoxic event produces a characteristic pattern of decompartmentalization, further work is necessary to confirm this possibility. Finally, based on a presumed involvement of elements in nerve injury, efforts are currently underway in several laboratories to develop appropriate pharmacological therapies for certain chemical- and trauma-induced neuropathological conditions (Dretchen et al., 1986; El-Fawal et al., 1989; Beattie et al., 1989).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The calcium-binding properties of untreated and in vitro dephosphorylated neurofilaments were determined by partition centrifugation. Scatchard plot analysis of the binding data indicated that each type of neurofilament contained both high and low affinity calcium-binding sites. The number of calcium-binding sites per unit consisting of three 140,000, three 107,000 and eight 62,000 molecular weight subunits was 4 sites with Kd = 4.1 microM and 126 sites with Kd = 293 microM for untreated neurofilaments. The in vitro dephosphorylated neurofilaments contained 8 sites with Kd = 15 microM and 54 sites with Kd = 332 microM, per unit.

Abstract
We used the oxalate-pyroantimonate technique to determine the ultrastructural distribution of Ca++ in neurons of the rat sciatic nerve. The content of the precipitate was confirmed by X-ray microanalysis and appropriate controls. In the cell bodies of the dorsal root ganglia, Ca++ precipitate was found in the Golgi, mitochondria, multivesicular bodies and large vesicles of the cytoplasm but not in lysosomes, and was prominently absent from regions of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes. It was seen in the nucleus but not in the nuclear bodies or nucleolus. Within the axon itself, Ca++ precipitate was also found sequestered in mitochondria and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. In addition Ca++ precipitate found diffusely throughout the axoplasm exhibited a discrete and heterogeneous distribution. In myelinated fibers the amount of precipitate decreased predictably in the axoplasm beneath the Schmidt-Lanterman cleft and in the paranodal regions at the nodes of Ranvier. This correlated with the presence of dense precipitate in the Schmidt-Lanterman cleft themselves and in the paranodal loops of myelin. Intracytoplasmic ionic Ca++ is maintained at 10(-7) M by balanced processes of influx, sequestration and extrusion. The irregular distribution of Ca++ precipitate in the axoplasm of myelinated fibers suggests that there may be specific regions of preferential efflux across the axolemma.

Abstract
We used the oxalate-pyroantimonate method to demonstrate the ultrastructural distribution of calcium within rat sciatic nerve 4 h after a crush injury. In normal nerve there are discrete gradients of axoplasmic calcium precipitate with the amount of precipitate decreasing in the axoplasm beneath the Schmidt Lantermann clefts and in the paranodal regions at the node of Ranvier. Near the crush site a marked increase in endoneurial and intra-axonal calcium precipitate correlated with morphologic evidence of axonal degeneration. More distant from the crush site, both in the distal segment destined to degenerate and in the proximal segment destined to regenerate, the most prominent finding was a loss of the normal gradient of precipitate beneath the Schmidt Lantermann clefts. The calcium influx at the crush site corresponds to the known role of calcium in triggering degeneration. The alterations in the distal axon may be an early stage leading to degeneration. Alteration in calcium distribution in the proximal nerve stump may play a role in the regulation of the response to injury.

Abstract
Calcium uptake in rat brain synaptosomes decreases during ageing. The possible involvement of mitochondria in altered calcium homeostasis has been investigated. Mitochondria isolated from old rat brain showed decreased calcium uptake rates. Since neither the mitochondrial membrane potential nor the delta pCa decreases with age, it was concluded that variations in the driving force for calcium uptake were not the cause for impaired calcium transport in mitochondria from aged rat brain. The steady state calcium distribution in isolated aged rat brain mitochondria was achieved at higher extramitochondrial calcium concentrations than that of adults. Studying the effects of the selective release of calcium from the mitochondrial pool by the addition of an uncoupler to 45Ca loaded synaptosomes incubated in high-potassium media, it was found that the intrasynaptic mitochondrial pool and the intra/extramitochondrial 45Ca distribution also decreased considerably in 24-month-old rats. Steady state fluorescence anisotropy (rs) of diphenylhexatriene-labelled mitoplasts from 'free' brain mitochondria increased with ageing. However, since no changes in rs from synaptosomal mitochondria were found in 24-month-old rats, it is suggested that alterations in lipid dynamics are not involved in the impaired calcium uptake observed in brain mitochondria from aged rats. The implications of these findings in the calcium homeostasis of brain endings are discussed.

Abstract
To verify whether microtubules are involved in the mechanism of axoplasmic transport in vivo, [3H]leucine was injected into ventral horns of rats, and 3 h later Ca2+ or other drugs injected into sciatic nerves. The injection of 50-200 mM Ca2+, raising intra-axoplasmic Ca2+ levels, blocked transport above the intraneural injecting site and decreased microtubular density. Conversely, injection of 10 mM EGTA lowering the intra-axoplasmic Ca2+ induced the same changes. By combining the injection of 50 mM colchicine with 25 mM Ca2+ or 5 mM EGTA, the effects were additive in that transport was weakened further or even blocked and microtubules disappeared. Therefore, microtubules seemed to be a mediator between the injected drug and the blockade of transport and Ca2+ to be a regulator of axoplasmic transport in vivo. Tubulin, a subunit of microtubules, contains SH groups and Cd2+ is a chelate of them. By injection of 50-100 mM Cd2+, transport was weakened or blocked. The sulfhydryl inhibitor, N-ethylmaleimide increased, but the sulfhydryl donor, dimercaptosuccinate, abolished the effect of Cd2+ on transport. N-ethylmaleimide also amplified the Cd2+ effect on decreasing SH group content of sciatic nerve homogenate. There were 8.7 SH groups per tubulin monomer isolated from rabbit brain. The SH groups of tubulin in vitro and microtubular density in vivo were decreased with the increase of Cd2+ concentration. All these results indicated that microtubules play a role in the mechanism of axoplasmic transport.

Abstract
The ultrastructural localization of calcium in synaptic areas of the CNS of fish was investigated. Prefixation with phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde followed by post-fixation with osmium/potassium-bichromate was used to precipitate and visualize endogenous calcium without the addition of external calcium. The presence of calcium in the electron-dense precipitates produced using this method was demonstrated by electron spectroscopic imaging using a Zeiss EM-902 transmission electron microscope, and in various control experiments using the calcium chelator EGTA. In the optic tectum of fish, electron dense precipitates containing calcium were found not only in intracellular compartments, e.g. the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and synaptic vesicles, but also at extracellular locations, particularly in synaptic clefts. In the extracellular sites, only chelate complexes of ionic calcium were found. This would seem to be in agreement with electrophysiological and biochemical data reported in earlier studies. Thus, using the present method, it should be possible to obtain further ultrastructural information concerning the mechanisms of synaptic transmission.

Abstract
Whole cerebral and isolated mitochondrial calcium levels were determined in normal and chronically uremic Sprague-Dawley rats. Uremia was induced by a two-stage 5/6 nephrectomy 4 weeks prior to study. Serum was obtained for urea, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and i-PTH. Mitochondria were isolated by gradient centrifugation and calcium was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results demonstrate that mitochondrial calcium levels in uremic rats are not different from normal (8.0 +/- 2.8 vs. 7.8 +/- 1.8 nmoles/mg protein) despite an 11% increase in whole cerebral calcium concentration (17.3 +/- 2.0 vs. 15.5 +/- 2.8 nmoles/mg protein; P less than 0.005) in 24 severely uremic rats (BUN greater than 18.0 mmoles/liter). Multiple regression analysis demonstrates a significant positive correlation between cerebral calcium concentrations and both serum calcium (P less than 0.005) and serum magnesium levels (P less than 0.005). No relationship was found for urea, serum phosphate, or i-PTH. Similar analysis of mitochondrial calcium concentration demonstrated a significant positive correlation with serum calcium (P less than 0.005) and i-PTH (P less than 0.05) suggesting that increased PTH may be necessary for maintaining normal intracellular calcium levels in uremia. We conclude that uremia in the rat is associated with a small rise in whole cerebral calcium but that intracellular calcium as reflected by mitochondrial levels is not elevated.
