    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The authors studied the behaviour of ICDH, G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH in the plasma from 10 young patients, suffering from progressive muscular dystrophy, showing a statistically significant increase of ICDH and 6-PGDH activity. The G-6-PDH activity was often slightly increased, but this increase did not reach the statistical importance due to a larger variability of the phenomenon. Studies regarding PFK, ENO, FUM and PRL activities have been made in the plasma with negative results.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Autoren untersuchten die Aktivität von ICDH, G-6-PDH und 6-PGDH im Plasma von zehn jungen Patienten mit Dystrophia musculorum progressiva und fanden eine signifikante Zunahme der ICDH- und 6-PGDH-Aktivität. Die G-6-PDH-Aktivität war oft etwas erhöht, ohne daß jedoch bei der Variabilität des Verhaltens eine statistische Signifikanz erreicht wurde. Schließlich wurden im Plasma die PFK-, ENO-, FUM- und PRL-Aktivitäten untersucht, die keine Veränderungen zeigten.

    Notes: Abstract Most epidemiologic studies have shown a relationship between high blood pressure and socioeconomic status in childhood. Systolic and diastolic pressure were measured in 296 schoolboys and 338 schoolgirls aged 10 to 13 years. The presence of known and suspected risk factors for hypertension was evaluated by a standardized questionnaire consisting of two sections: one completed by the subjects and another by their parents. Descriptive analysis showed a lack of association between socioeconomic background, parental educational levels and childhood hypertension, a relatively strong association between a sedentary style of life and hypertension (p〈0.001) and a statistically significant influence of maternal or paternal history of hypertension or diabetes in the sample studied (p〈0.05). However, when all the variables were assessed, by multiple correspondence analysis, two nuclei of schoolchildren were delimited. One was composed of hypertensive children with family histories of hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus who lead sedentary lives, live in large dwellings with a low crowding index and whose parents are better educated. The second nucleus was composed of normotensive subjects with opposite characteristics. The data obtained indicate that there may be a relationship between blood pressure in children and the socioeconomic status and educational level of their parents and suggest` that -these factors may have an impact on the child's blood pressure at a relatively young age.

    Notes: Abstract A prevalence study of HBV serologic markers was carried out among hospital employees of ten departments of the Second School of Medicine in Naples, an urban area with a high prevalence of HBV infection. Departments and occupational categories were selected to represent a spectrum of different exposure to B virus infection. Workers in a large electronic plant in the same geographical area were screened as controls. HBsAg prevalence was 4.8% in the hospital community and 4.0% in control group. It rises to 4.3% in the Campania Region, where all screened workers live, and in some specific areas of the same region it rises to 12%. But no significant difference among seropositivities for at least 1 marker of HBV, considered to be a better indicator of occupational hazard, was found among personnel of different departments or belonging to different occupational categories. None of the occupational and non-occupational risk factors studied was found to be significantly associated with HBV infection. Two years later, an incidence study was carried out among susceptible subjects. Seropositivity for 1 marker was 2.2% among hospital workers and 2.8% in the control group. These figures are lower than the annual attack rate (5%) required for an acceptable cost-benefit ratio of vaccination against hepatitis B. Our results indicate that in a geographical area with HBV endemicity the occupational hazard for B virus infection is low in hospital workers because of the high number of immunized subjects and the contacts with infected people out of the hospital.
