    Notes: Abstract      The effect of phenobarbital on cerebral blood flow (CBF) was investigated by the intravenous Xenon133 clearance technique in seven term newborn infants with signs of mild to moderate hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, all on sustained spontaneous ventilation. Phenobarbital treatment had no significant effect on CBF 60 min after loading dosage (20 mg/kg i.v.). Likewise, no significant change in mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate or transcutaneous gas tensions was observed. Though slight changes in CBF of short duration cannot be excluded, conventional dosage of phenobarbital to term newborn infants with foetal distress apparently imposes no risk of cerebrovascular damage.

    Notes: Abstract The study group consisted of nine mature newborn infants with a previous history of severe asphyxia and a control group of 18 mature, healthy newborns with the same postnatal age and sex. The object of the investigation was to compare the possible risk of development of bilirubin encephalopathy between the two groups as estimated by plasma parameters. The asphyxia group had a significantly lower reserve albumin concentrations for binding of monoacetyldiaminodiphenyl sulphone (P=0.008), a measure of binding of unconjugated bilirubin, and significantly lower total albumin concentrations (P=0.02). No significant difference was observed in unconjugated bilirubin concentration. It is suggested that mature newborns with previous severe asphyxia are at a slightly increased risk of developing bilirubin encephalopathy over and above the well-known risk associated with increased permeability of the blood brain barrier.

    Notes: Abstract Thirty newborn infants with normal birth weights and uncomplicated hyperbilirubinaemia were studied. Twenty three of these were treated continuously for 24h with intensive phototherapy (blue double light), and seven untreated infants served as controls. During the treatment the serum concentrations of total bilirubin and unbound bilirubin in diluted serum measured by the peroxidase method were markedly reduced. The binding affinity of bilirubin to its high affinity site on serum albumin was not affected. During the treatment a slight decrease of the serum albumin concentration occurred, and the possible causes of this observation are discussed.

    Notes: Cord blood cells were incubated (passively sensitized) with sera from 27 patients with previous systemic reactions to insect stings. Histamine release (HR) from these cells was measured following exposure to venom extracts at increasing concentrations. The aim was to see whether this parameter could predict more efficiently than RAST and skin test the outcome of a subsequent re-sting. Results showed that HR from passively sensitized cells tended to reflect skin sensitivity and specific IgE levels. If patients were not re-stung during the follow-up period, HR from the passively sensitized cells frequently decreased whereas an increase was seen (in 6/13) when using sera collected after re-sting. In conclusion HR from passively sensitized cord blood cells could not satisfactorily predict re-sting reactions in the serum donors.

    Notes: The aim of the study is to compare the glass fibre-based basophil histamine release test with skin test (Phazet®), RAST (Phadebas®) and bronchial provocation test in children with allergic asthma. The study comprised 68 selected children with a case history of extrinsic allergic asthma to danders (cat and dog) and house-dust mite. Skin prick test, RAST, and histamine release were performed in all children and the bronchial provocation test was used as a reference of “true allergic asthma”. A total of 81 allergen bronchial challenges were performed and 44 children experienced 49 positive provocations. In 2.9% (2/68) of the children histamine release could not be performed due to technical difficulties (low histamine release with anti-IgE). Concordances in the range 76–87 % were observed with no significant difference between the tests. The highest concordance (87%) was found between histamine release and bronchial provocation test followed by skin prick test vs bronchial provocation (84 %) and RAST vs bronchial provocation (80%). The sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each test. All tests showed sensitivities in the range 90–94 % and no significant difference between them was observed. The specificity of histamine release, skin prick test, and RAST was 0.78, 0.69, and 0.63, respectively. The specificity of histamine release was better than RAST demonstrated by 95% confidence intervals. In conclusion, it was found that the histamine release test is a convenient diagnostic method and the study indicates a diagnostic value comparable to the common diagnostic methods in clinical allergy.

    Notes: Thirty-two cord blood samples were studied for histamine releasing capability by using a sensitive glass microfibre-based histamine analysis. Histamine was obtained after challenge with anti-IgE in 24 of the 32 samples. However, the net release in cord blood was only 25 % of that in adult blood and no relationship was found between histamine release response, total IgE in cord plasma, and a family history of atopic diseases. The low histamine release in cord blood seemed to be associated with the immunological IgE receptor complex activation and not with an immature basic cell function, since the calcium ionophore A23187 which bypasses the receptor complex induced identical histamine release curves in cord and adult blood. Furthermore, when comparing the results of passive sensitization of basophils from new-born and adult persons, the new-born basophils possessed a significant fraction of free IgE receptors, whereas in adults most of the receptors were occupied by IgE.

    Notes: Abstract The clinical and biochemical abnormalities in a neonate, who died in coma accompanied by severe hypoglycaemia at the age of 3 days, are described. The study of the urinary metabolic profiles of organic acids and amino acids revealed that the excretion rates of glutaric acid, isovaleric acid, isovalerylglycine, 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid and isobutyric acid were very high. Increased excretion rates were also found for 2-methylbutyric acid, adipic acid, caproylglycine, 5-hydroxycaproic acid, caproic acid and butyric acid. The amino acid, sarcosine, was excreted in enhanced amounts and the patient had lactic aciduria, whereas the excretion of 3-hydroxybutyric acid was only moderately increased. This abnormal excretion pattern is consistent with a defect in the metabolism of acyl-CoAs and sarcosine. Normal activity of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase was found, excluding glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (glutaric aciduria type I).
