    Notes: Summary In chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) enzyme-deficient neutrophils and mononuclear cells lack the respiratory brust required for biocidal activity. Recurrent infections lead to granulomas in various organs but brain lesions are rare. In the present case, a 23-year-old male with numerous infections since early childhood died of overwhelming pulmonary aspergillosis. He first began to experience neurological deficits at the age of 17. Computerized tomography and magnetic rsonance imaging revealed fleeting white matter lesions that were interpreted as multiple sclerosis (MS). At post mortem, three types of brain lesions were found: (1) Pigmented macrophages in perivascular spaces and the leptomeninges similar to those reported previously. They contained fine, golden-brown, lipofuscin-like material whose chemical composition included a sulfur peak by X-ray analysis. (2) Focal, well-demarcated, “burnt out” white matter lesions with loss of both myelin and axons and intense sclerosis. (3) Diffuse areas of mild pallor in the centrum ovale which spared the U fibers. The pigmented macrophages are characteristic of those seen in the periphery in CGD. The origin of the discrete, destructive white matter lesions is unclear. They may have resulted from: (i) earlier activity by CGD macrophages; (ii) previous infections due to sepsis or embolism; or (iii) possibly post-infectious encephalomyelitis. The more diffuse, mild, white matter lesions are attributed to edema. Evidence for MS, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis was lacking. This case is presented to alert us to look more carefully for brain lesions in CGD, characterize them and to help determine their cause.

    Description / Table of Contents: Studies on the Existence of Ternary Amalgams of Alkali Metals: The Systems KHg2-RbHg2 and NaHg2-CsHg2.The ternary systems KHg2—RbHg2 and NaHg2—CsHg2 are investigated by thermal analyses and X-ray methods. Both systems are quasibinary: Lattice constants and cell volumes of samples in the system KHg2—RbHg2 are in accordance with Vegards law (continous formation of mixed crystals). No ternary compound was detected in this system. NaHg2—CsHg2 however shows a peritectic decomposition at 300°C, which can be associated to the new ternary compound Na2CsHg6, crystallizing in the hexagonal system (a = 5.080(1) Å; c = 11.632(3) Å). Due to pronounced disorder the crystal structure of Na2CsHg6 cannot be determined in full details. In principal it corresponds to an ordered variant of the NaHg2 structure (modified AlB2 type) with a triple c-axis.
    Notes: Die ternären Systeme KHg2—RbHg2 und NaHg2—CsHg2 werden mittels thermischer Analysen und röntgenographischer Methoden untersucht. Beide Systeme verhalten sich im Temperaturbereich 100 bis 350°C quasibinär. Gitterkonstanten und Zellvolumina der untersuchten Proben des Systems KHg2—RbHg2 (lückenlose Mischkristallbildung) entsprechen der Vegardschen Regel. Eine ternäre Verbindung kann hier nicht nachgewiesen werden. Das Zustandsdiagramm NaHg2—CsHg2 ist durch eine Peritektikale bei 300°C gekennzeichnet. Sie ist der neuen, ternären, hexagonal kristallisierenden Verbindung Na2CsHg6 (a = 5,080(1) Å, c = 11,632(3) Å) zuzuordnen, die sich bei 300°C zersetzt. Die Kristallstruktur von Na2CsHg6, die wegen ausgeprägter Fehlordnungsprobleme nur im Ansatz aufgeklärt werden konnte, entspricht einer Ordnungsvariante der NaHg2-Struktur (modifizierter AlB2-Typ) mit verdreifachter c-Achse.
