    Notes: Summary The spontaneous development of thyroid gland volume (TGV) during the first 3 months of life was studied in entirely breast-fed infants (n = 21) and compared to those fed an iodine-supplemented formula (n = 19), an iodine-free formula (n = 5), or partially breast-fed in addition to an iodine-free (n = 4) or an iodine-supplemented formula (n =16). The TGV of the infants and their mothers was determined sonographically in addition to their urinary iodine concentrations 57 days postpartum and 3 months later. In ten additional lactating mothers the breast milk concentrations of thyroid hormones and iodine were determined. It was shown that at 3 months of age an infant consuming about 1000 ml breast milk per day receives about 2 μg thyroid hormones and 55 μg iodine per day. At the end of their first week of life the infants showed a TGV between 0.28 and 1.5 ml (median 0.61 ml) and a urinary iodine concentration between 0.03 and 16.3 μg/dl (median 3.0 μg/dl). At 3 months of age the TGV of the breast-fed infants had decreased by a median of 0.24 ml (= −34%; median of percentage changes) whereas those fed a formula without iodine had increased by a median of 0.26 ml (= + 50%; median of percentage changes). Those receiving an iodine-supplemented formula showed a TGV reduction of 0.14 ml (= +2%; median of percentage changes). The TGV development of the partially breast-fed infants lay between those being exclusively breast or formula fed. It is concluded that with respect to the development of TGV, breast milk is superior even to the feeding of an iodine-supplemented formula.

    Notes: Abstract A 22 years old female with the late-onset type of argininosuccinic aciduria was successfully treated for 5 months with a mixture of essential amino acids and their keto-analogues. There was a marked change in plasma ammonia, plasma amino acids and argininosuccinic acid excretion. A long term anabolic response was reflected by an increase of total serum proteins and serum albumin by about 1 g/dl during the first 5 months of treatment. There was a striking improvement in the patient's seizure disorder following institution of the keto-analogue therapy.

    Transient hyperphosphatasaemia of infancy (1988)

    Notes: Abstract In five patients with benign transient hyperphosphatasaemia (THP), high activities of so-called “atypical” alkaline phosphatase or fragment isoenzymes were detected. One cases occurred after rotavirus infection. Incubation with neuraminidase suggested that “atypical” alkaline phosphatase originated from highly glycosylated bone and liver isoenzymes. This may have been due to virus-induced low isoenzyme clearance from serum. The course of isoenzyme activities in THP following rotavirus infection was followed. Determination of atypical alkaline phosphatase may be useful in the diagnosis of THP.

    Docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acid content of serum and red blood cell membrane phospholipids of preterm infants fed breast milk, standard formula or formula supplemented with n-3 and n-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (1996)

    Notes: Abstract The contents of docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) of plasma and red blood cell membrane phospholipids were studied in 41 very low birth weight infants fed either breast milk (n = 18), a standard formula without long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with 20 or 22 carbon atoms (LCP) but with α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid (n = 11) or a formula additionally supplemented with n-3 and n-6 LCP in relations typical for human milk (n = 12) after 2, 6, and 10 weeks of feeding. The content of DHA and AA in plasma phospholipids declined in the infants fed the LCP-free formula but remained more or less constant during the whole feeding period in those infants fed breast milk as well as in those fed the LCP-supplemented formula. The differences between the group fed the LCP-free standard formula and the two groups fed LCP-containing diets became significant during the first 2 weeks of feeding. In contrast, there were no differences between the group fed breast milk and the group fed the supplemented formula during the study period. Similar effects could be observed regarding the composition of red blood cell membrane phospholipids, but the differences between the infants fed the LCP-free standard formula and the two other groups with LCP-containing diets were significant only for AA. The data indicate that very low birth weight infants are unable to synthesize LCP from α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid in sufficient amounts to prevent a decline of LCP in plasma and red blood cell phospholipids. Additionally, the data show, that supplementation of formulas with n-3 and n-6 LCP in amounts typical for human milk fat results in similar fatty acid profiles of plasma and red blood cell membrane phospholipids as found during breast milk feeding. Conclusion Supplementation of formula with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids improves the LCP status of very low birth weight infants.

    Lipid and lipoprotein profiles in children with familial hypercholesterolaemia: effects of therapy (1998)

    Notes: Abstract In 71 children with familial hypercholesterolaemia the effect of dietary and/or medical treatment was evaluated. Initial total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels were significantly lower in children who were consecutively treated by diet (Step-One-Diet) than in those who received additional medication. By dietary treatment, the median total cholesterol level (236.5 mg/dl; range 210–510 mg/dl) was reduced by 7.4% and the median LDL-cholesterol level (162 mg/dl; range 126–423 mg/dl) by 9.9%. By dietary and medical therapy, the median total cholesterol level (330 mg/dl; range 270–424 mg/dl) was reduced by 29.7% and the median LDL-cholesterol level (263 mg/dl; 192–333 mg/dl) by 25.9%. High density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and HDL 3 remained unchanged. HDL 2 showed a significant decrease of 15.6% up to 27 mg/dl (13–42 mg/dl) on medical treatment. Apolipoprotein A I levels did not change during therapy. Initial apolipoprotein B levels were significantly higher in children who were treated by diet and medication and were reduced by 28.9% by combined therapy. In 28 patients (39.4%) an excess of lipoprotein (a) was detected. Regarding the apolipoprotein E phenotype, 32.2% of the patients carried the risk gene ɛ4 in a hetero- or homozygous form. Conclusion Early dietary and/or medical treatment in hypercholesterolaemic children significantly ameliorates the lipoprotein status. The pretherapy lipoprotein status seems to prognosticate the effectiveness of therapy.

    Notes: Abstract Progressive cerebellar and extrapyramidal motor disturbances are described in two 16-year-old female twins with classical galctosaemia. The neurological disturbances, characterized by hyper- and dysmetric movements and bilateral intention tremor with choreatic, atactic and even ballistic motor storms, appeared at 12 years of age. Computerized tomography demonstrates cerebral atrophy in cerebellar, brain stem and basal ganglia structures. The central conduction times, determined by somatosensible evoked potentials, are grossly prolonged; the peripheral nerve conduction velocities are normal. The neurological sequelae described are considered a distinct entity in the course of galactosaemia.

    Notes: Abstract An adapted cow's milk formula with or without supplemental taurine (480 μmol/l) was fed for 16 weeks to 20 low-birth-weight infants. In the 2nd and 16th, weeks of life, respectively, the following parameters were determined: growth, sonography of heart and brain, ECG, EEG, neurological development and the taurine concentration of plasma and urine. None of the parameters investigated was influenced by taurine supplementation except the urinary taurine excretion. At least according to these data, the addition of taurine to whey-predominant infant formulae seems to be unnecessary for the development of heart and brain function in low-birth-weight infants.
