    Notes: Abstract N2O decomposition on an oxidized Rh catalyst (unsupported) has been studied using a tracer technique in order to reveal the reaction mechanism. N2 16O was pulsed onto an 18O/oxidized Rh catalyst at 493 K and desorbed O2 molecules were monitored. The 18O fraction in the desorbed oxygen had the same value as that on the surface oxygen. The result shows that the oxygen molecules do not desorb via the Eley–Rideal mechanism, but via the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. On the other hand, desorption of oxygen from Rh surfaces (in vacuum or in He) occurs at higher temperatures, which suggests reaction-assisted desorption of oxygen during the N2O decomposition reaction at low temperature.

    Notes: Abstract Background. High doses of cyclosporin A (CsA) produce high-turnover osteopenia in rats. The aim of this study was to determine whether low-dose CsA affects the skeleton in children with nephrotic syndrome. Methods. Biochemical parameters of mineral and skeletal homeostasis, and bone mineral density (BMD) in eight boys with steroid-dependent, frequently relapsing minimal change nephrotic syndrome who had received low-dose CsA (between 1.6 and 3.1 mg/kg per day) for 2 years were compared with measurements in the same patients before CsA therapy and who had received glucocorticoids for long periods, and with measurements in age-matched controls. Results. It was possible to discontinue glucocorticoid therapy within 4 months after the start of CsA therapy. There was a significant increase in the mean serum alka-line phosphatase concentration in CsA therapy patients compared with the same patients before CsA therapy and the controls. Serum osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and urinary deoxypyridinoline concentrations in CsA therapy patients did not differ from those in the controls. BMD in CsA therapy patients was increased significantly compared with values in the same patients before CsA therapy. BMD in CsA therapy patients was lower than that in the controls, but remained within 80% of the overall mean BMD value. Conclusions. Two years of low-dose CsA therapy without glucocorticoids does not appear to induce high-turnover osteopenia in children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome.
