    Notes: Summary During episodes of trauma carnitine-free total parenteral nutrition (TPN) may result in a reduction of the total body carnitine pool, leading to a diminished rate of fat oxidation. Sixteen patients undergoing esophagectomy were equally and randomly divided and received isonitrogenous (0.2 gN/kg·day) and isocaloric (35 kcal/kg·day TPN over 11 days without and with L-carnitine supplementation (12 mg/kg·day). Compared with healthy controls, the total body carnitine pool was significantly reduced in both groups prior to the operation. Without supplementation carnitine concentrations were maintained, while daily provision of carnitine resulted in an elevation of total carnitine mainly due to an increase of the free fraction. Without supplementation the cumulative urinary carnitine losses were 11.5±6.3 mmol corresponding to 15.5%±8.5% of the estimated total body carnitine pool. Patients receiving carnitine revealed a positive carnitine balance in the immediate postoperative phase, 11.1%±19.0% of the infused carnitine being retained. After 11 days of treatment comparable values for respiratory quotient, plasma triglycerides, free fatty acids, ketone bodies, and cumulative nitrogen balance were observed. It is concluded that in the patient population studied here carnitine supplementation during postoperative TPN did not improve fat oxidation or nitrogen balance.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Tuberous sclerosis (McKusick number: 19110) is well documented as an inheritable autosomal dominant disorder. On the occasion of results of an autopsy of a male fetus (1950 g, 29th gestational week) we report on the very early onset of a giant cell astrocytoma (microcalzified focally) and a cystic kidney disorder which in association with this phacomatosis is described first for this age. Thus, based on sonography there is a new differential diagnosis for the weighty prenatal diagnosis of a “Potter syndrome” or of “cystic kidneys”. Moreover, on a chromosomal level we discuss possible connections between tuberous sklerosis and distinct forms of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, ADPKD.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die tuberöse Hirnsklerose (McKusick-Nummer: 19110) ist ein gut untersuchtes autosomal-dominant vererbtes Krankheitsbild. Anhand des Autopsiebefundes eines 1950 g schweren, männlichen Föten in der 29. Schwangerschaftswoche wird das sehr frühe Auftreten eines herdförmig mikrokalzifizierten Riesenzellastrozytoms und von zystischen Nierenveränderungen (letztere u. E. erstmals bei dieser Phakomatose für dieses Lebensalter beschrieben) dargestellt. Hieraus ergibt sich eine neue Differentialdiagnose für die folgenschwere pränatale sonographische Diagnose des „Potter-Syndroms“ oder der „Zystennieren“. Außerdem werden mögliche chromosomale Zusammenhänge der tuberösen Sklerose mit bestimmten Formen der „autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease“ (ADPKD) diskutiert.

    Notes: Abstract Locomotor activity was studied in the rabbit following injections of morphine, ethylketocyclazocine andN-allylnormetazocine. All three drugs produced only depression of activity. The opioid antagonist naloxone antagonized the effects of both morphine and ethylketocyclazocine. Naloxone (0.1 mg/kg) did not antagonize the effects ofN-allylnormetazocine. Naloxone alone depressed locomotor activity at doses above 0.3 mg/kg. This effect of naloxone was partially antagonized by 0.1 mg/kg ethylketocyclazocine, but not by 0.1 mg/kg morphine. The GABA agonist muscimol (0.1 and 1.0 mg/kg) also did not antagonize the effect of naloxone on locomotor activity. Finally, amphetamine did not produce a great deal of locomotor activation in the rabbit, which may indicate that increasing activity in the rabbit by drug intervention may be inherently difficult. These results indicate that the opioids have effects in the rabbit that are clearly different from those observed in rodents, where morphine andN-allylnormetazocine have been reported to produce locomotor activation, and naloxone typically has little effect. In addition, the effects of the opioids on locomotor activity were clearly distinguishable from their effects on learning in the rabbit. While morphine and ethylketocyclazocine were approximately equipotent in depressing locomotor activity, morphine is much less potent than ethylketocyclazocine in retarding acquisition of the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response in the rabbit.

    Notes: Summary In the suprachiasmatic nucleus (NSC) of hibernating and non-hibernating ground squirrels, the distribution of serotonin-immunoreactive (5HT-IR) fibers was studied by the use of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. The cytology of perikarya giving rise to these suprachiasmatic 5HT-IR fibers was investigated in the anterior raphe nuclei. Differences in the immunoreactivity of suprachiasmatic fibers between hibernating and non-hibernating ground squirrels were determined by digital image analysis. The cellular activity was determined densitometrically after RNA-staining in anterior raphe neurons and suprachiasmatic perikarya. Abundant 5HT-IR fibers were observed in the medial and ventromedial portions of the NSC. Frequently, the fibers were found in close contact with perikarya of suprachiasmatic neurons. The central portion of the nucleus and the surrounding hypothalamic areas contained only a few scattered 5HT-IR fibers. Inside the raphe nuclei, 5HT-IR fibers and perikarya formed a dense network. In hibernating ground squirrels, the immunoreactivity to serotonin was approximately 45% higher than in non-hibernating controls. This difference is in accordance with signs of higher neuronal activity (40% higher RNA-content, 20% larger cell nuclei) in 5HT-IR perikarya of the raphe nucleus and the persisting activity of the NSC during hibernation; the activity of other brain regions dropped conspicuously in torpid animals.
