    Notes: Summary The effect of ketoconazole on adrenal androgen secretion was examined in 15 patients with elevated serum androgens. In a dose of 600 mg per day orally ketoconazole inhibited the biosynthesis of all measured androgens. The mean reduction in serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was 32%, of dehydroepiandrosterone 54%, of androstenedione 52%, and of testosterone 43%; mean serum levels of cortisol only fell by 19%. The reduction in serum androgen levels was first significant 24 h after beginning of treatment and persisted as long as the drug was administered. We conclude that ketoconazole inhibits adrenal androgen biosynthesis more pronouncedly than cortisol biosynthesis. This might be of clinical benefit in the treatment of hirsutism and other states of androgen hypersecretion.

    Notes: Summary The narcotic agent etomidate and the antimycotic drug ketoconazole are known to block steroid biosynthesis in man. To study the different effects of these imidazole derivatives on human adrenal steroid biosynthesis we incubated slices of human adrenal glands with 3H-labeled precursors and increasing concentrations of etomidate or ketoconazole (0-2000 μM). After extraction the labeled metabolites were separated by thin-layer chromatography and quantified by scintillation counting. Etomidate inhibited most potently 11β-hydroxylase activity by suppressing the formation of corticosterone from 11-deoxycorticosterone to 1 % of control [50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) 0.03 μM] while ketoconazole suppressed 11β-hy-droxylase to only 39% of control activity (IC50 15 μM). Ketoconazole however, most potently blocked the conversion of 17α-hydroxy-proges-terone to androstenedione by C17,20-desmolase to about 15% of control activity (IC50 1 μM) while etomidate showed a much weaker effect on this enzyme with a suppression to 50% of C17,20-desmolase control activity at a concentration of 380 μM. Both imidazole drugs showed a similar strong inhibitory effect on the activity of 17α-hy-droxylase (IC50 6-18 μM) and 16α-hydroxylase (IC50 4–8 μM) and did not affect 21-hydroxylase. These in vitro data indicate a predominant inhibitory effect of etomidate on corticosteroid biosynthesis by relative selective inhibition of 11β-hydroxylase and of ketoconazole on the adrenal androgen biosynthesis by a predominant inhibition of C17,20-desmolase. This differential inhibitory effect of etomidate and ketoconazole on human steroid biosynthesis may be of clinical importance for a possible therapeutic use of these imidazole derivatives in endocrine disorders.

    Notes: Abstract The extent to which the appearances of nitrite reductase (NIR; EC 1.7.7.1) and glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) are coordinated was studied in mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings. It was established by immunotitration that the increased activities of NIR and GS in the presence of light and nitrate can be attributed to the de-novo synthesis of enzyme protein. The bulk of the NIR and GS was found in the developing cotyledons. In the absence of nitrate in the growth medium there was no coordinate appearance of NIR and GS. While light strongly stimulated the appearance of GS, the level of NIR was hardly affected and remained low. On the other hand, in the presence of nitrate in the medium the appearances of NIR and GS were strictly coordinated, the GS level being considerably above that of NIR. It is argued that phytochrome-controlled synthesis of GS in the absence of nitrate is part of the mechanism to reassimilate ammonium liberated during proteolysis of storage protein and metabolism of the resulting amino acids, whereas the strictly coordinated synthesis in the presence of light and nitrate indicates the dominance of nitrate assimilation under these circumstances. The fact that the level of GS was always considerably above that of NIR appears to be a safety measure to prevent ammonium accumulation.

    Notes: Abstract Abstract We report on a 13-month old boy with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism (MOPD), whose radiographic signs correspond with type II of this entity. Some of his clinical signs, such as the anomalies of the external genitalia and the urinary tract, are common to this subgroup of MOPD, but he also shows unusual clinical signs including bilateral knee dislocation and hypoplasia of the anterior corpus callosum. His clinical course was unusual with several episodes of breathing difficulties and increased intracranial pressure secondary to craniosynostosis at the age of 16 months. After fronto-orbital advancement for the treatment of brachycephaly, his psychomotor development improved remarkably. Conclusion MOPD type II may have a wider range of expression than previously delineated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Deposition of conductive and nonconductive hard coatings on metallic and ceramic materials by RF-PA-CVDConductive titanium nitride and nonconductive aluminium oxide layers were deposited on conductive and nonconductive substrates by a RF-PA-CVD process. The influence of substrate material, pressure, plasma power and the components of the gas mixture on the layer properties was investigated.TiN coatings with a homogeneous structure could be deposited by using TiCl4 as precursor. The properties of the layer are strongly influenced by the substrate material. An increasing pressure causes a faster deposition rate and a higher chlorine content. A lower chlorine content and at the same time a faster deposition rate can be achieved by increasing the r.f. power.Aluminium and aluminium oxide layers could be deposited on steel and Si3N4 substrates by using AlCl3 as precursor in dependence on the CO2 content in gas mixture. Higher CO2 content facilitates the deposition of aluminium oxide.
    Notes: Mit einem Hochfrequenz-Plasma-CVD-Verfahren wurden elektrisch leitende TiN-Schichten und nichtleitende Al2O3-Schichten auf leitende wie nichtleitende Substrate aufgebracht. Der Einfluß des Grundwerkstoffes sowie der Versuchsparameter Druck, Plasmaleistung und Prozeßgaszusammensetzung auf die Schichteigenschaften wurde untersucht.Mit TiCl4 als Precursor konnten TiN-Schichten mit einem homogenen Schichtaufbau hergestellt werden. Die Schichteigenschaften sind deutlich vom Grundwerkstoff abhängig. Eine Steigerung des Systemdruckes hat einen Anstieg der Abscheiderate und des Chlorgehaltes zur Folge. Eine Erhöhung der Plasmaleistung führt zur Senkung des Chlorgehaltes bei leicht gesteigerter Abscheiderate.Mit AlCl3 als Spendermedium konnten in Abhängigkeit vom CO2-Prozeßgasanteil Aluminium- oder Aluminiumoxidschichten auf Stahl- und Si3N4-Substraten abgeschieden werden. Höhere CO2-Anteile begünstigen die Abscheidung von Aluminiumoxid.
