    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a non-invasive method of recording quantitative data from gas exchange and ventilation for the evaluation of oxidative metabolism at rest and during exercise. Determination of oxygen uptake (VO2) and carbon dioxide output (VCO2) describes the activity of anaerobic vs aerobic metabolism. An incremental exercise test measuring gas exchange, ventilation and lactate release was performed in healthy volunteers and in patients suffering from mitochondrial disorders. At rest as well as during exercise patients with mitochondrial disorders differ from healthy subjects with regard to gas exchange and ventilation parameters. During exercise, the decreased oxygen utilization of skeletal muscle and early activation of anaerobic metabolism in these patients are mirrored by a reduced anaerobic threshold, reduced maximal oxygen uptake and reduced oxygen pulse. Our study shows that CPX is a sensitive and practical clinical screening method of investigating mitochondrial disorders.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Spiroergometrie ist eine nichtinvasive kardiopulmonale Belastungsuntersuchung mit deren Hilfe durch Messung des Atemgasaustausch und der Ventilation quantitative Daten zur Beschreibung des oxidativen Stoffwechsels in Ruhe und während Belastung erfaßt werden. Durch die Aufzeichnung von Sauerstoff (O2) und Kohlendioxid (CO2) können Rückschlüsse auf eine Aktivierung der anaeroben Glykolyse gezogen werden. Während eines ansteigenden Belastungstests wurden untrainierte Normalpersonen und Patienten mit einer mitochondrialen Erkrankung hinsichtlich Atemgaswechsel, Ventilationsanstieg und Laktatproduktion untersucht. Schon in Ruhe und während Belastung unterscheiden sich Patienten mit mitochondrialen Erkrankungen durch veränderte Atemgasparameter und Ventilation von untrainierten Normalpersonen. Die verminderte Sauerstoffverwertung des Skelettmuskels und der frühzeitige Einsatz des anaeroben Stoffwechsels dieser Patienten werden durch eine erniedrigte anaerobe Schwelle, eine erniedrigte maximale Sauerstoffaufnahme und einen reduzierten Sauerstoffpuls während Belastung erfaßt. Unsere Untersuchungen zeigten, daß die Spiroergometrie als eine sensitive und praktikable Screeningmethode in der klinischen Diagnostik mitochondrialer Erkrankungen angewandt werden kann.

    Notes: Abstract Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in nine treated adolescents with hyperphenylalaninaemia (HPA) in order to analyse possible changes in myelination. Three patients suffered from type I HPA, four from type II and two from type III (persistent HPA). Images were obtained with a 1.5T unit using spin-echo-sequences. In all patients with type I or type II HPA, abnormal findings in the cerebral white matter were demonstrated including band-like and/or confluent patchy areas of high signal intensity predominantly in the peritrigonal region, with anterior and posterior periventricular extension and/or involvement of the subcortical white matter. The extent of MRI changes did not correlate with the initiation, duration or quality of dietary treatment. There was also no consistent relationship between electrophysiological changes and white matter abnormalities on MRI. Our findings suggest a disturbance of myelination in patients with treated HPA. These results correspond well with earlier neuropathological and biochemical studies in untreated patients.
