    Notes: Abstract Signs of portal hypertension, history of upper gastro-intestinal tract bleeding episodes and outcome of the latter were recorded in 76 cirrhotic children evaluated for liver transplantation. Fifty-three (70%) had varices and 22 (29%) had experienced upper gastro-intestinal tract bleeding. Of these 22, 19 bled from varices and 3 from ulcers. Non bleeding ulcers were also found in five patients bleeding from varices. Iterative sclerotherapy controlled acute variceal bleeding in all but one patient in whom emergency transplantation was performed. Six of the eight patients with ulcers were successfully treated by the H2 histamine receptor antagonist ranitidine. We conclude that iterative sclerotherapy is efficient to control acute variceal bleeding and prevents recurrent bleeding in children with end-stage liver diseases awaiting liver replacement. Bleeding asymptomatic ulcers are frequent and respond to H2 histamine receptor antagonists.

    Notes: Abstract Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has been proposed to treat patients with type IV glycogenosis because of early progressive cirrhosis. Reports have shown absence of disease progression in other organs after OLT and even regression of cardiac amylopectin infiltration in one case. We describe a 15-month-old child in whom a liver transplant was performed for type IV glycogenosis. There were no clinical signs of extrahepatic disease before OLT. Nine months later, the patient developed progressive cardiac insufficiency and died from cardiac failure. Because of massive amylopectin deposits, decreased myofibrils in cardiac cells, and exclusion of other causes of cardiac failure, death was attributed to amylopectinosis. Our observation contrasts with the Pittsburgh experience and suggests that cardiac amylopectionosis may progress after OLT.

    Notes: Abstract A comparably poor growth medium containing 0.1% yeast extract as sole non-defined constituent was developed which allowed good reproducible growth of lactic acid bacteria. Of seven different strains of lactic acid bacteria tested, only Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sake were found to catalyze stoichiometric conversion of l-malate to l-lactate and CO2 concomitant with growth. The specific growth yield of malate fermentation to lactate at pH 5.0 was 2.0 g and 3.7 g per mol with L. plantarum and L. sake, respectively. Growth in batch cultures depended linearly on the malate concentration provided. Malate was decarboxylated nearly exclusively by the cytoplasmically localized malo-lactic enzyme. No other C4-dicarboxylic acid-decarboxylating enzyme activity could be detected at significant activity in cell-free extracts. In pH-controlled continuous cultures, L. plantarum grew well with glucose as substrate, but not with malate. Addition of lactate to continuous cultures metabolizing glucose or malate decreased cell yields significantly. These results indicate that malo-lactic fermentation by these bacteria can be coupled with energy conservation, and that membrane energetization and ATP synthesis through this metabolic activity are due to malate uptake and/or lactate excretion rather than to an ion-translocating decarboxylase enzyme.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'étude porte sur une comparaison des poids des bovins obtenus soit par pesée directe soit par barymétrie. La répétabilité des diverses mesures est évaluée. La variabilité residuelle de ces différentes mesures prises sur le même sujet et á des moments proches est une bonne estimation de cette répétabilité. La concordance des deux méthodes est évaluée par l'analyse des poids estimés. Chez les jeunes bovins, par barymétrie, l'erreur de mesure est environ deux fois supérieure à celle faite par pesée. Elle passe à 4 fois chez les adultes. Les estimations du poids par ces deux méthodes sont fortement corrélées, avec des variations individuelles très importantes. Les mêmes remarques peuvent être faites sur l'estimation des gains de poids. Il apparaît qu'il n'est pas envisageable de se servir, dans des expérimentations, des mesures barymétriques lorsque le poids est pris comme une variable indépendante alors que cela peut l'être lorsque le poids est pris en tant que variable dépendante.
    Abstract: Resumen Se evaluó la repetibilidad y concordancia de la estimación del peso vivo de bovinos, mediante balanza y cinta. La desviación estándar, entre sujetos de las réplicas, se utilizó como una medida de repetibilidad, mientras que la concordancia de los dos métodos se evaluó mediante el análisis de la diferencia en las estimaciones de peso. En ganado joven, la media de error de la cinta fue cerca del doble que aquella de la balanza, mientras que en ganado adulto ésta fue más de cuatro veces mayor. Aunque los estimaciones de peso mediante ambos métodos tuvieron una correlación positiva, se encontraron diferencias individuales considerables. Lo mismo ocurrió para los estimaciones de ganancia de peso. No parece entonces recomendable utilizar la cinta, para pesar en ensayos donde el peso es una variable independiente, mientras que ésta se puede usar cuando el peso es la variable dependiente.
    Notes: Summary The repeatability of weight estimation of cattle by scale and by tape and the agreement of weight estimates obtained by the 2 methods were evaluated. The within-subject standard deviation of replicates was used as a measure of repeatability while the agreement of the 2 methods was evaluated by analysis of the differences in weight estimates. In young cattle, the measurement error of the tape was about twice that of the scale while in adult cattle it was more than 4 times as great. Although weight estimates by the 2 methods were highly correlated, considerable differences occurred in individual cattle. The same was true for estimates of weight gain. It does not appear advisable to use the tape in trials where weight is an independent variable whereas the use of the tape can be justified in experiments where weight is the dependent variable.

    Notes: Abstract Fifty-five children with cholestatic cirrhosis due to extrahepatic biliary atresia received a course of hepatitis B vaccine. Forty-seven received a plasma-derived vaccine and eight a recombinant vaccine. Antibody determination was evaluated before and after liver transplantation in 30 patients. Twenty-five additional patients had antibody determination after transplantation only. Protection against hepatitis B was observed in 73.3% of the children evaluated prior to transplantation. One to 15 months after transplantation, 54.6% of all children studied showed protective levels of anti HBs. We conclude that hepatitis B vaccination is efficient in inducing immunity in the majority of children with cholestatic cirrhosis. Some patients will loose immunity under immunosuppression, but the protection rate remains higher than reported for patients vaccinated after transplantation.
