    Notes: Abstract Using the technique of capillary perfusion and simultaneous luminal stop flow microperfusion the reabsorption of bicarbonate and glycodiazine from the papillary collecting duct was evaluated. Starting with equal H14CO 3 − and3H-glycodiazine concentrations in the luminal and peritubular perfusates, the decrease in the luminal concentration at 10 and 45 s contact time was measured. In control rats with 25 mmol/l HCO 3 − in the perfusates the rate of HCO 3 − reabsorption calculated from the 10 s values was 0.34 nmol cm−2s−1. In acute metabolic acidosis, the rate of bicarbonate reabsorption was 2,3 times higher. In metabolic alkalosis, the rate of bicarbonate absorption dropped to 13% of the control values. Also the 45 s values of acidotic and alkalotic animals differed significantly from each other. With 25 mmol/l glycodiazine in both perfusates the rate of biffer reabsorption as calculated from the 10 s values was 0.76 nmol cm−2s−1 in control rats and did not deviate significantly from this value in acidotic and alkalotic animals. In control rats the bicarbonate reabsorption in % was the same, no matter whether both luminal and capillary perfusate contained 25 mmol/l bicarbonate or 10 mmol/l. In acidotic rats the rate of HCO 3 − reabsorption did not change significantly if all Na+ in the perfusates was replaced by choline (0.88 versus 0.79 nmol cm−2s−1 at 25 mmol/l HCO 3 − ). When in acidotic rats 0.1 mmol/l acetazolamide or 1 mmol/l SITS (4-acetamido-4′-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid) was added to both perfusates the rate of HCO 3 − reabsorption dropped by 75 and 58%, respectively. A potassium deficient diet for one week and DOCA administration had no influence on the bicarbonate reabsorption of rats which were on standard diet. The data indicate that (1) the buffer reabsorption from the papillary collecting duct is rather due to H+ ion secretion than to buffer anion reabsorption. (2) The adaptation to metabolic acidosis and alkalosis is specific for bicarbonate and not seen with glycodiazine. (3) Within the concentration range tested the HCO 3 − reabsorption rises linearly with the HCO 3 t- concentration. (4) The HCO 3 − reabsorption in the papillary collecting duct is Na+-independent, it can be inhibited by acetazolamide and SITS, but is not influenced by K+-deficient diet plus DOCA.

    Notes: Abstract In order to study the characteristic of contraluminal transport of hydrophylic small fatty acids the in situ stopped flow microperfusion technique [12] has been applied. By measuring with 4 s contact time the decrease in the contraluminal concentration of the respective radiolabelled substances the concentration dependence of the influx into the cortical cells was tested. The 4 s decrease in contraluminal concentration of chloroacetate,l-lactate,d-lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate was between 26% and 31%. For each substance the percent decrease was the same, no matter whether it was offered in a concentration of 0.1 or 10 mmol/l. Contraluminal disappearance of 0.1 mmol/ll-lactate was not influenced by 5 mmol/l H2DIDS, probenecid, phloretin, mersalyl or cyanocinnamate, but it was significantly (37%) inhibited by 5-nitro-2-(phenyl-propyl-amino) benzoate, a blocker of the nonspecific anion channel. The percent decrease in propionate uptake was somewhat larger — between 36% and 39% — but again not different at 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 and 10 mmol/l. With pyruvate the contraluminal decrease was 20% at 0.1 mmol/l and 31% at 10 mmol/l. The percent disappearance of the aromatic pyrazinoate was 38% and 34% at 0.1 and 10 mmol/l and for nicotinate 42% and 22%, respectively. The disappearance of nicotinate (0.1 mmol/l) was significantly inhibited by 10 mmol/l pyrazinoate and paraaminohippurate (PAH). The data are in agreement with the hypothesis that the hydrophilic small fatty acids traverse the contraluminal cell side by simple diffusion, possibly via the unspecific anion channel [14], pyruvate via the dicarboxylic acid pathway in a cooperative manner and pyrazinoate, as well as nicotinate, via the PAH pathway.

    Notes: Summary The rate of active transport by the proximal renal tubule of amino acid (l-histidine), sugar (α-methyl-d-glycoside), H+ ions (glycodiazine), phosphate and para-aminohippurate was evaluated by measuring the zero net flux concentration difference (Δc) of these substances. In the case of calcium the electrochemical potential differenceΔc +zFci Δϕ/RT) was the criterion employed. The rate of isotonic Na+-absorption (JNa) was measured with the shrinking droplet method. The effect of ouabain on the transport of these substances was tested in the golden hamster and the effect of SITS (4-acetamido-4′isothiocyanatostilbene 2,2′-disulfonic acid) was observed in rats. Ouabain (1 mM) applied peritubularly incompletely inhibited JNa (80%), but in combination with acetazolamide (0.2 mM) the inhibition was almost complete (93%). In addition, ouabain inhibited the sodium coupled (secondary active) transport processes ofl-histidine, α-methyl-d-glycoside, calcium and phosphate by more than 75%. It did not affect H+ (glycodiazine) transport and PAH transport was only slightly affected. When SITS (1 mM) was applied from both sides of the cell it inhibited H+ (glycodiazine) transport by 72% and reduced JNa by 38% when given from only the peritubular cell side. SITS (1 mM), however, had no significant affect on H+ secretion and sodium reabsorption if it was applied from only the luminal side. Furthermore it had no affect on the other transport processes tested, regardless of the cell side to which it was applied. When the HCO 3 − buffer or physically related buffers were omitted from the perfusate the absorption of Na+ was reduced by 66%, phosphate by 44%, andl-histidine by 15%. All the other transport processes tested were not significantly affected. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the active transport processes of histidine, α-methyl-d-glycoside and phosphate, which are located in the brush border, are driven by a sodium gradient which is abolished by ouabain. This may also apply to the Na+-Ca2+ countertransport located at the contraluminal cell side. The residual Na+ transport remaining in the presence of ouabain is likely to be passively driven by the continuing H+ transport which probably is driven directly by ATP. SITS seems to inhibit the exit step of HCO 3 − from the cell and secondary to that, the luminal H+-Na+ exchange and consequently the Na+ reabsorption. In the absence of HCO 3 − buffer in the perfusates the luminal H+-Na+ exchange seems to be affected and the pattern of inhibition of the other transport processes is almost the same as with SITS. The different effects onP i reabsorption observed under these conditions might be explained by possible variations in intracellular pH.

    Notes: Abstract The transport ofd-lactate across the epithelium of the late proximal convolution was investigated by two methods: 1. by measuring the zero net flux transtubular concentration difference (Δc tt,45s) and the permeability (P) ofd-lactate and calculating from both the transtubular active transport rate (J lac act ). 2. By measuring the 3.5 s efflux ofd-lactate from the tubular lumen, while blood was flowing through the capillaries. The 3.5 s efflux comprises two components, one going through the brush border (J lac bb ) and one going the paracellular pathway (J lac paracell =P lac·c lac lumen). Both,J lac act andJ lac bb ofd-lactate gave the sameK m 1.9 and 1.7 mmol/l and the same maximal transport rate 3.2 and 2.9 pmol cm−1 s−1. TheK i ofl-lactate tested againstJ lac act andJ lac bb ofd-lactate was also the same: 1.1 and 1.0 mmol/l. These data indicate that under our experimental conditions only the flux through the brush border seems to be rate limiting and thatd-lactate uses the same transport system asl-lactate. When Na+ was omitted from the perfusatesJ lac act disappeared completely, whileJ lac bb was reduced by 64%. These data reflect the Na+ dependence of thed-lactate transport through the brush border. Variation of intra-and extracellular pH by raisingpCO2, omitting HCO 3 − from the perfusates or adding acetazolamide had no effect on the transport ofd-lactate when α-ketoglutarate was used as fuel. However, when acetate was used as fuel, intracellular acidosis brought the reducedJ lac act back to the values obtained with α-ketoglutarate as fuel. It is suggested that this is an effect on a contraluminal transport step. Probenecid (5 mmol/l) and phloretin (0.25 mmol/l) inhibitedJ lac act significantly.J lac bb , however, was only inhibited by probenecid when acetate was used as fuel. These data indicate that both compounds act on thed-lactate exit at the contraluminal cell side, but that probenecid acts in addition at the luminal cell side. SITS (1 mmol/l) augmentedJ lac bb when acetate was used as fuel and is similar to the effect of lowering intracellular pH as described above. The SH reagents mersalyl (1.0 mmol/l) and maleolylglycine (1 mmol/l) did not influenceJ lac bb .

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An proximalen Tubuli und medullären Sammelrohren von Ratten wurde der isotone Natriumtransport ΆNa iso und die Gleichgewichtskonzentrationsdifferenz Δc Na bei Nettosubstanzfluß und Nettovolumenfluß Null gemessen. Die peritubulären Capillaren waren bei diesen Messungen künstlich durchströmt, und zwar in der ersten Serie mit einer Calcium-freien Lösung bzw. einer Lösung, die 3 mÄq Ca++/l enthielt, in einer zweiten Serie mit einer Lösung, die kein ADH bzw. 5 mE/l ADH enthielt. Zugabe von ADH oder Weglassen von Calcium aus dem Perfusat hatten keinen Einfluß auf den isotonen Natriumtransport. Die Natrium-Gleichgewichtskonzentration bei Nettosubstanzfluß Null war jedoch stark erniedrigt. Die Befunde sprechen dafür, daß bei Fehlen von Calcium oder Zugabe von ADH die Permeabilität für Natriumionen erhöht ist, daß aber im Gegensatz zum Verhalten von Amphibienhäuten der aktive Natriumtransport unbeeinflußt bleibt.
    Notes: Summary Isotonic sodium transport, ΆNa iso, and the transtubular concentration difference, Δc Na, at equilibrium under conditions of zero net solvent and solute fluxes were measured in the proximal tubules and medullary collecting ducts of rats. Peritubular capillaries were simultaneously perfused, in the first group of experiments with a solution containing no Ca++ or 3 mEq/l of Ca++, and in the second group with a solution which contained either no ADH or 5 mU/l of ADH. Addition of ADH or omission of Ca++ from the capillary perfusate did not affect isotonic sodium transport. The equilibrium concentration difference of sodium, Δc Na, was, however, greatly reduced under the same conditions. The results indicate that in the absence of Ca++, or in the presence of ADH, the permeability for sodium is increased, but that in contradistinction to the behaviour of amphibian skins, active sodium transport remains unaffected.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch Mikropunktion und -perfusion der Vasa recta an der freigelegten Nierenpapille von Wistarratten wurde es möglich, die schwankenden Harnstoff- und Natriumkonzentrationen im Interstitium des Nierenmarks zu beseitigen und definierte Versuchsbedingungen für die Sammelrohre zu schaffen. An diesen „funktionell” isolierten Sammelrohrabschnitten wurdenin situ sowohl die Gleichgewichtskonzentrationsdifferenz bei fehlendem Nettosubstanz-und -volumenfluß (ΔC Na) als auch der Nettonatriumtransport (Φ Na) bei gleicher Natriumkonzentration auf beiden Seiten der Sammelrohrwand gemessen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß unter diesen Versuchsbedingungen, bei denen die Tiere in Antidiurese sind, die Natriumrückresorption aus den Sammelrohren isoton abläuft. Die Versuche wurden an vier Tiergruppen durchgeführt: an adrenalektomierten Tieren, an normal ernährten Tieren, an salzarm ernährten Tieren und an normal ernährten Tieren, die zusätzlich Aldosteron bekamen. Φ Na iso war bei adrenalektomierten Tieren 1,2·10−5 bei normal ernährten Tieren 3,1·10−5, bei salzarm ernährten Tieren 4,1·10−5 und bei normal ernährten Tieren unter Aldosteronsubstitution 4,2·10−5 μÄq·mm−2·sec−1. Die entsprechenden ΔC Na werte waren 4, 31, 98, 93 mÄq/l. Unter der Annahme, daßΦ Na iso die Transportkapazität des Systems angibt und daß ΔC Na bei gegebenemΦ Na iso umgekehrt proportional der Leckpermeabilität für Natriumionen ist, kann man aus den vorliegenden Daten schließen, daß Aldosteron am Sammelrohr nicht nur die innere Transportkapazität für Na erhöht, sondern auch die Leckpermeabilität für Na herabsetzt.
    Notes: Summary Micropuncture and -perfusion were performed on vasa recta of the exposed renal papilla in Wistar rats in order to abolish uncontrollable changes of sodium and urea concentration within the medullary interstitium. Thereby the collecting tubules could be studied under well defined experimental conditions. The transport of sodium in the absence of a transtubular concentration difference (Φ Na) as well as differences in steady state concentration of sodium (ΔC Na) at zero net flux of water and solutes were measuredin situ in these functionally isolated collecting ducts. Four groups of animals were studied: adrenalectomized rats, control rats on a normal diet, rats on low sodium diet and normally fed rats with additional aldosterone administration. The respectiveΦ Na were 1.2, 3.1, 4.1 and 4.2·10−5 μeq×mm−2×sec−1, while ΔC Na were 4, 31, 98 and 93 meq/l. One may assume thatΦ Na iso is a measure of the transport capacity of the system and that ΔC Na at a givenΦ Na iso is inversely proportional the leak permeability. Under these conditions our data suggest, that aldosterone causes an increase of intrinsic transport capacity and at the same time a decrease of leak permeability for sodium ions.

    Notes: Summary The fluid reabsorption from the proximal convolution of the rat kidney was measured with the Gertz shrinking droplet technique. Simultaneously, the peritubular capillaries were perfused with artificial solutions. In some experimental series, fluid from the shrinking droplet was withdrawn and analysed for Cl−, Na+, and osmolality so that the transtubular transport of Na+, Cl−, and HCO 3 − could be calculated. Capillary perfusate in some experiments was also withdrawn and its pH was measured. The following results were obtained: 1. With increasing concentration of HCO 3 − in the capillary perfusate, the transtubular water, sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate reabsorption increased. 2. The sulfonamide buffers sulfamerazine and glycodiazine (Redul®), which easily penetrate the tubular wall, could, in equimolar concentrations, substitute totally for the bicarbonate buffer in promoting isotonic fluid absorption. 3. Butyrate, propionate, and acetate were also effective; pyruvate, lactate, and paraaminohippurate, however, were not. 4. The effect of HCO 3 − and glycodiazine on isotonic absorption was shown to depend exclusively on the concentration of the buffer anion and not on the concentration of undissociated acid or pH. From these data it is suggested that for proximal isotonic absorption of water, sodium, and chloride, the reabsorption of buffer anions via H+ secretion and nonionic diffusion may be essential. The H+ secretion or the buffer anion absorption across the luminal cell wall may secondarily influence the active Na+ transporting mechanism located at the basal cell site either by a luminal H+−Na+ exchange mechanism or by a lyotropic effect which would increase the Na+ permeability of the luminal cell site. Thereby more Na+ would be delivered to the Na+ pumping site and the rate of Na+ pumping would be augmented.

    Notes: Abstract Psychosocial aspects in phenylketonuric (PKU) patients are reported. In two separate studies patients with PKU differing in age (children versus adolescents), were assessed. The main message of the first prospective study on 58 10-year-old patients is that normally intelligent PKU patients who were treated early and strictly did not show a higher risk for severe emotional and behavioural maladjustment compared with healthy controls at the age of 10 years. The data were obtained in the course of the German PKU Collaborative Study by the “Personality Questionnaire for Children (PFK 9–14)”. All patients received nutritional, medical, and psychological counselling every 6 months. In the second retrospective study, 34 early treated, normally intelligent adolescents with PKU (age: mean = 14.6, SD = 2.0, range = 11–18 years) and their mothers were assessed with several psychometric personality inventories and self-developed questionnaires concerning their psychosocial situation and their disease- and diet-specific knowledge. Using the Mannheimer Biographic Inventory (MBI), the Personality Questionnaire for Children (PFK 9–14), and the Freiburger Personality Inventory (FPI) the adolescent patients described their social life and their emotional development as being distinctly restricted. Their knowledge concerning disease and diet was alarmingly poor and the majority had great difficulties in satisfactory dietetic management without parental help. In addition to the burdensome diet, developmental crises like puberty may cause more frequently emotional and behavioural problems in PKU patients.

    Notes: Abstract The intellectual, neurological, and neuropsychological outcome of patients with non-phenylketonuric-hyperphenylalaninaemia (PKU-HPA) (serum phenylalanine levels under free diet 〈 600 μmol/l) has not been systematically studied so far. We therefore tested 28 patients (mean age = 21.8, SD = 4.2 years) for IQ (WAIS-R/WISC-R), school performance, job career, clinical neurological examination, fine motor performance (motor performance task), and selective and sustained attention (stroop task, Dot Pattern Exercise from the Sonneville visual attention task). In addition, cranial MRI (1.5 T unit) was obtained in 10 of these patients. Clinical-neurological examination revealed no significant abnormalities in the non-PKU-HPA patients. They also had a normal IQ (mean = 101.9, SD = 13.6). Compared to their healthy siblings, they attended a normal school and had a normal job career. The motor performance task revealed no deficits in fine motor abilities. The patients performed normally in the stroop task and the dot pattern exercise. Their MRIs were normal. Our results indicate that patients with non-PKU-HPA are not at risk for developing intellectual, neurological, and neuropsychological impairment, as described for patients with treated mild or classical phenylketonuria. From this point of view a dietary treatment is not necessary in patients with hyperphenylalaninaemia.

    Notes: Abstract Eight adult, untreated patients with classical phenylketonuria received L-dopa and a decarboxylase inhibitor for 2 weeks. No effect of l-dopa therapy on choice reaction time tasks, sustained attention, frontal lobal function as well as latencies of visual evoked potentials was found. The results raise the question if adult patients with phenylketonuria really suffer from functional dopamine deficiency.
