    Notes: Abstract Higher levels of factor VIII: C and factor VIII R: Ag were found in healthy newborns (n=60) as compared to adults. This could be explained as a stress reaction due to birth and the adaptation to extrauterine life. A further stress factor is disease. The highest values for factor VIII R: Ag were found in ill (n=32) and in severely ill newborns (n=21). The large ranges of factor VIII: C and of the ratio of factor VIII: C/VIII R: Ag in healthy newborns can be explained by an increased turnover of coagulation factors. Diseases in the newborn period lead to an increase of this process, resulting in even larger ranges of factor VIII: C and of the ratio of factor VIII: C/VIII R: Ag in ill and extremely ill newborns. Consumption of factor VIII: C with a low ratio of factor VIII: C/VIII R: Ag predominates in extremely ill newborns. The ratio of factor VIII: C/VIII R: Ag is more valuable than factor VIII: C for diagnosis of DIC in newborns. A diagnosis of hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease cannot be established with certainty in severely ill newborns. Stress and DIC may influence the characteristic changes of laboratory parameters.

    A metabolic disorder similar to Zellweger syndrome with hepatic acatalasia and absence of peroxisomes, altered content and redox state of cytochromes, and infantile cirrhosis with hemosiderosis (1977)

    Notes: Abstract A patient with a cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome was investigated. The visceral manifestations were those of the Zellweger syndrome (ZS); however, the child exhibited muscular hypertonia and survived into the 2nd year of life. Ultramicroscopically, hepatocytes were lacking peroxisomes, but, contrary to findings in one patient with ZS [2], contained smooth endoplasmic reticulum. No catalase was found by histochemistry or spectroscopy. Mitochondria showed normal succinate and glutamate respiration, and normal coupling of respiration to the phosphorylation potential. The cytochrome (cyt) content was diminished to one-third with an abnormally inversed redox patterns of the respiratory chain in the controlled state, cyt b being 5%, cyt c 23% reduced. The oxygen affinity of cyt a 3 was normal. These findings exclude a defect in the nonheme iron protein region of the respiratory chain as described in ZS [2], but point to a functional abnormality of cyt b in our patient.
