    Notes: Abstract The diets of 5 patients with phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease were supplemented with yeast which was rich in selenium. For 120 days the patients received 45 μg Se/day to increase the Se content of their diets to 10–12ng Se/Kjoule. Before supplementation the selenium content of serum (5–15 ng/ml) and whole blood (10–27 ng/ml), and the activity of the erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (0.19–2.69 U37/g Hb), amounted to only 10–20% of normal. The serum selenium content reached normal values within 4 weeks of supplementation, followed by normalisation of the selenium content of whole blood within 4–8 weeks. Restoration of the activity of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase took 9 to 15 weeks —the red cell life span. There was a significant positive correlation between the selenium content of the erythrocytes and the activity of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase.

    Notes: Abstract The plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity was measured in normal adults and children and in patients with reduced selenium state because of dietary treatment of metabolic diseases (phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease) before and after selenium supplementation. Besides GSHPx (measured with t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide as acceptor substrates) the activity of glutathione S-transferase was estimated in plasma. Plasma GSHPx activity in healthy children was significantly lower than in healthy adults. In 11 dietetically treated patients with phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease the plasma GSHPx was reduced to about 17% of the values of healthy children of the same age. No glutathione S-transferase activity could be found in plasma of children in normal or reduced Se state. During administration of yeast rich in Se (200μg Se/d) for 90 days 2 healthy adults showed no significant change of plasma GSHPx activity. During Se supplementation (75–100μg Se/d) for 120–163 days 5 dietetically treated patients with PKU or MSUD exhibited a significant increase of plasma GSHPx activity within 2 days. The values reached a plateau after 1 to 3 weeks of supplementation and remained at this level within the following 4 to 5 months. Therefore, the activity of plasma glutathione peroxidase can be used as an indicator of short-term changes of selenium intake in selenium deficient individuals.

    Notes: Abstract The selenium concentration of serum is age-dependent. The median value at birth ( $$\tilde x$$ =50×10−9g/ml) amounts to half of the median value of adults ( $$\tilde x$$ =102×10−9g/ml). After a decrease in early infancy to $$\tilde x$$ =34×10−9g/ml it steadily increases to $$\tilde x$$ =58×10−9g/ml in the second half of the first year, to $$\tilde x$$ =82×10−9g/ml in 1–5 year old children, and to $$\tilde x$$ =92×10−9g/ml in school children. The activities of the selenium containing enzyme glutathione peroxidase of erythrocytes are also reduced in early infancy (x=7.2±0.36 U37/g Hb), whereas the enzyme activities of cord blood erythrocytes (x=8.72±0.76 U37/g Hb) are in the same range as those of older children or adults. The selenium content of some commercially available milk formulas for infants are lower than those of human and cow's milk.

    Notes: Abstract In 20 healthy infants and children, 5–20 months old, the Se intake was estimated by analysing food samples by instrumental neutron activation analysis. The intake was calculated by weighing the portions offered and actually consumed. The median Se content of the food amounted to 27 ng/g wet weight (gww) and median daily Se intake to 33.5 μg. The Se intake was not equally distributed over the day. About 50% of the daily Se intake was derived from the supper. The main Se sources (41%) for young children were cereal paps. Commercially, available meals (30 ng/g) contained less Se than home-made ones (50 ng/g). In nine dietetically treated patients with phenylketonuria the median Se intake amounted only to 6.9 μg/day corresponding to a mean Se content of the diet of 7.9 ng/g. The main Se source in the diet was vegetables (36.3%) and 20% derived from their protein supplements. The Se intake of young children, healthy or dietetically treated, cannot be calculated accurately from tables but must be estimated by measuring the Se content of the local food because cereals and vegetables-the main Se sources-exhibit great regional variations.

    Notes: Abstract The protein quality of the diets of phenylketonuria (PKU) children of different ages (3 months, 10 months, 3 years, 8 years, 12 years, 16 years) with low or high phenylalanine (Phe) tolerance was assessed according to the recommendations of the FAO/WHO consultation group [13]. The amount of each essential amino acid (AA) per gram dietary protein was calculated and compared to the reference. The resultant amino acid score (AAS) indicated a limited to inadequate biological protein quality of the diets in 3-month-old infants (2.2 g protein/kg body weight/day) and 10-month-old infants (2.0 g protein/kg body weight/day) with a “high” Phe tolerance. In all other age groups the AAS was 〉 100%. However remarkable imbalances in the AA pattern were apparent. Beginning with the age of 3 years (1.7 g protein/kg body weight/day) the intake of the AA lysine and isoleucine was three or two times higher than recommended. At the age of 8 years (1.4 g protein/kg body weight/day) the intake of three AA (valine, isoleucine, lysine) was – related to the WHO recommendations – 217%, 229% and 291%. Similar results could be found in the age groups of 12 years (1.1 g protein/kg body weight/day) and 16 years (0.9 g protein/kg body weight/day), respectively. These calculations might help to reconsider the composition of the AA mixtures used in the dietetic treatment of PKU patients.

    Notes: Abstract Due to the observation of severe neurological symptoms in single patients as well as brain imaging, neuropsychological and neurophysiological abnormalities, the long-term prognosis of treated phenylketonuria is still under discussion. We investigated the neurological outcome of 57 (24 male, 33 female) patients with phenylketonuria (diet onset 〈3 months) at a mean age of 23.6 (17–33) years in comparison to control subjects. Methods used were a clinical-neurological examination, tests for fine motor abilities, IQ test (WAIS-R), a neuropsychological attention task and MRI (30 patients only). Tremor was increased in the patients (28%) compared to controls (15%). Fine motor abilities were significantly reduced in three areas: hand-wrist steadiness, finger-hand dexterity and hand-wrist speed. Tremor as well as reduced fine motor skills were not associated with treatment-related variables, e.g. diet onset, strictness of biochemical control or amount of MRI white matter change. IQ was lower in patients (mean 97.6) compared to matched control subjects (mean 105.5). IQ at 12 years was correlated with biochemical control from birth up to the age of 12 and remained stable up to adult age, independent of biochemical control after 12 years of age. In contrast to the other outcome parameters, the performance in a neuropsychological attention task was influenced by the concurrent plasma phenylalanine concentration. Specific late-onset neurological impairment was not identified in this sample of early-treated adults with phenylketonuria. Conclusion Careful neurological investigation revealed subtle symptoms of brain damage even after early-initiated treatment in adult patients with phenylketonuria. At present it cannot be excluded that further neurological deterioration could emerge later in life. Thus, patients with phenylketonuria – either on or off diet – should be monitored throughout life.

    Description / Table of Contents: Effect of Alkali Contamination on the Catalytic Properties of Al2O3—Si2Catalytic properties of amorphous Al2O3—SiO2 catalysts containing different amounts of Al2O3 in dehydration of isopropanol and cracking of cumene were examined after a defined contamination of the acid centers by sodium ethylate from alcoholic solution. In both reactions, the catalytic activity is decreased by treatment with sodium ethylate, the cracking of cumene being suppressed at a lower alkali concentration than the dehydration of isopropanol. In dehydration of isopropanol, the dependence of the catalytic activity on the alkali content is influenced strongly by the Al2O3 content of the catalysts. In the cracking of cumene, strongly acid Brönsted centers are active, whereas the dehydration of isopropanol proceeds by joint action of acid Lewis or Brönsted centers, respectively, with basic centers at the surface of the catalyst (hydroxide groups or oxygen anions).
    Notes: An amorphen Al2O3—SiO2-Katalysatoren unterschiedlichen Al2O3-Gehaltes wurden nach definierter Vergiftung der sauren Zentren mit Natriumäthylat aus alkoholischer Lösung die katalytischen Eigenschaften bei der Isopropanoldehydratisierung und bei der Cumolspaltung untersucht. Die Natriumbehandlung vermindert für beide Reaktionen die katalytische Aktivität, wobei die Cumolspaltung bereits bei niedrigeren Alkalikonzentrationen unterdrückt wird als die Isopropanoldehydratisierung. Der Charakter der Abhängigkeit der katalytischen Aktivität bei der Isopropanoldehydratisierung vom Alkaligehalt wird stark vom Al2O3-Gehalt der Katalysatoren beeinflußt. Für die Cumolspaltung sind stark saure BRÖNSTED-Zentren aktiv, während die Isopropanoldehydratisierung unter gemeinsamer Beteiligung von sauren Lewis- bzw. BrÖnsted-Zentren mit basischen Zentren der Katalysatoroberfläche (Hydroxidgruppen oder Sauerstoffionen) abläuft.

    Description / Table of Contents: Hydroxide Groups on Zeolites. II. Number and Properties of Hydroxide Groups on CeNaY and HNaY Zeolites of Different Exchange DegreeThe number of hydroxide groups on CeNaY and HNaY zeolites was examined by D2 exchange, and their properties in dependence of the cation exchange degrees were studied by IR spectroscopy. On CeNaY zeolites there exist six kinds and on HNaY zeolites at least seven kinds of hydroxide groups.On the CeNaY zeolites, the hydroxide groups are produced by dissociative chemisorption of water on Ce3+ ions. Their total number increases continuously with increasing exchange degree. Some of the hydroxide groups are acid BRÖNSTED centers whose number increases with increasing exchange degree and decreases with the temperature of preheating increasing to about 600°C.On the HNaY zeolites, the hydroxide groups are produced by thermal decomposition of the NH+4 ions, by dealumination and interaction of the Al3+ ions produced in this way in the place of cations with water. Above the threshold value of 35% the total number of the hydroxide groups increases very rapidly with increasing exchange degree. One part of the hydroxide groups decreasing with increasing exchange degree acts as acid BRÖNSTED centers. The number of these centers does not decrease until at preheating temperatures above 450°C.
    Notes: An CeNaY- und HNaY-Zeolithen wurden durch D2-Austausch die Zahl und infrarotspektroskopisch die Eigenschaften der Hydroxidgruppen in Abhängigkeit vom Kationenaustauschgrad untersucht. Es existieren an CeNaY-sechs Arten und an HNaY-Zeolithen mindestens sieben Arten von Hydroxidgruppen.An den CeNaY-Zeolithen entstehen die Hydroxidgruppen durch dissoziative Chemisorption von Wasser an Ce3+-Ionen. Ihre Gesamtzahl wächst kontinuierlich mit steigendem Austauschgrad. Einige der Hydroxidgruppen sind saure BRÖNSTED-Zentren, deren Zahl mit steigendem Austauschgrad wächst und mit steigender Vorerhitzungstemperatur bis etwa 600°C sinkt.An den HNaY-Zeolithen entstehen die Hydroxidgruppen durch thermische Zersetzung der eingetauschten NH+4-Ionen und mit wachsendem Austauschgrad zunehmend durch das Herauslösen von Gitteraluminium und Wechselwirkung der so entstehenden Al3+-Ionen auf Kationenplätzen mit Wasser. Die Gesamtzahl der Hydroxidgruppen wächst oberhalb des Schwellenwertes von 35% sehr stark mit steigendem Austauschgrad an. Ein mit steigendem Austauschgrad abnehmender Anteil der Hydroxidgruppen wirkt als saure BRÖNSTED-Zentren, deren Zahl erst bei Vorerhitzungstemperaturen oberhalb von 450°C abnimmt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXIX. Spectroscopic and Catalytic Investigations on Ni2+-, Co2+-, Cr3+-, and Cu2+-exchanged MordenitesNiNaM, CoNaM, CrNaM und CuNaM (M = Mordenite) have been characterized by UV-VIS, EPR and i.r. spectroscopy and the results were compared with the catalytic activity and the activity-time-dependence in the cracking of n-octane and with the shape selectivity in the cracking of a n-octane and isooctane mixture. Water molecules acting as ligands of the exchanged cations are able to dissociate yielding Brönsted acidity. Brönsted sites may be regarded as catalytic active centers in the cracking reaction. Unreduced transition metal cations facilitate the “coking” of the mordenite.The unreduced chromium and cobalt cations for which a position within the main channel is expected, affect the diffusion of the branched paraffin molecule thus increasing shape selectivity.
    Notes: NiNaM, CoNaM, CrNaM und CuNaM (M = Mordenit) wurden durch UV-VIS-Spektroskopie, EPR- und IR-Untersuchungen charakterisiert und die erhaltenen Ergebnisse mit der katalytischen Aktivität und dem Aktivitäts-Zeit-Verhalten dieser Proben bei der Spaltung von n-Octan und der Formselektivität in der Spaltung eines Gemisches von n/iso-Octan verglichen. Wassermolekeln als Liganden der eingetauschten Kationen können dissoziieren und so einen Beitrag zur Brönsted-Acidität liefern. Die Brönsted-Zentren können als katalytisch aktive Zentren in der Spaltreaktion angesehen werden. Nichtreduzierte Übergangsmetallkationen vergrößern die Neigung des Mordenits zum „Verkoken“ wesentlich. Die nichtreduzierten Co2+- und Cr3+-Kationen, für die eine Position im Hauptkanal angenommen werden kann, wirken als zusätzliche Diffusionsbremse auf die verzweigte Paraffinmolekel und erhöhen die Formselektivität des Mordenits.

    Description / Table of Contents: Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXIV. Redoxbehaviour of Nickel in Zeolite NiNaY. 1. Reducibility and Reoxidizability of Nickel in Zeolites NiNaYThe properties of metallic nickel in reduced (470-870 K) and reoxidized (470, 670 K) samples were studied by chemical analysis (reaction with K2Cr2O7) and spectroscopic methods (FMR, IR after CO adsorption, UV/VIS). The reduction of Ni2+ cations from oxidic clusters proceeds in an onestep reaction. Contrary to this, isolated Ni2+ cations are reduced stepwise to Ni+ cations and subsequently to metallic nickel. The reduction degree depends in characteristic manner on the reduction temperature. Metallic nickel which was reduced at temperatures 〈 620 K, can be completely reoxidized at 470 K. Higher temperatures result in metallic aggregations which are not completely reoxidized even at 670 K.
    Notes: Die Eigenschaften von metallischem Nickel in reduzierten (470-870 K) und reoxydierten (470, 670 K) NiNaY-Proben wurden durch chemische Analyse (Reaktion mit K2Cr2O7) und spektroskopische Untersuchungen (FMR, IR nach CO-Chemisorption und UV/VIS) charakterisiert. Die Reduktion der Ni2+-Kationen oxidischer Cluster erfolgt einstufig, während isoliert lokalisierte Ni2+-Kationen über Ni+-Kationen zum Metall reduziert werden. Entsprechend der Lokalisierung und dem Austauschgrad ändert sich der Reduktionsgrad des Nickels in charakteristischer Weise mit der Reduktionstemperatur. Metallisches Nickel, das bei Temperaturen 〈 620 K erhalten wurde, kann bei 470 K vollständig reoxydiert werden. Höhere Reduktionstemperaturen führen zu Nickelaggregationen, die selbst bei 670 K nicht vollständig reoxydierbar sind.
