    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Methods for thin-layer chromatography of urinary amino acids on commercially available procoated plates of micro-crystalline cellulose are presented. The urine is desalted by passing it through columns containing Amberlite CG 120 I. The amino acids are eluted by a solution of 5 per cent ammonia. The eluate is taken to dryness and dissolved in such an amount of water that 1 µl corresponds to 1 µg of creatinine. 1 µl is spotted to plates (10×10 cm) by micro pipets. Every urine is developed two-dimensionally by two solvent pairs. First pair: Ethanol-H2O (83:17), first direction, three times developed up to 8 cm, tert-Butanolmethylethylketone-NH3-diethylamine-H2O (35:35:10:0,4:20), second direction, once developed up to 8 cm. Second pair: n-Butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-H2O (35:35:10:20), first direction, phenol-formic acid (15 per cent) (250 g+83 ml), second direction, once developed up to 8 cm. Using these solvent pairs it is possible to separate most of the important urinary amino acids and diagnose or suspect most of the known metabolic disorders with a disturbed urinary excretion of amino acids. Phosphoethanolamine, S-sulphocysteine and taurine are lost by desalting the urine. Special problems of detecting and locating some amino acids are discussed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Es werden Methoden zur Dünnschichtchromatographie der Harnaminosäuren auf mikrokristalliner Cellulose angegeben. Vor der dünnschichtchromatographischen Trennung wird der Urin (Amberlite CG 120 I, H+-Form; Elution mit 5% igem NH3) entsalzt. Nach Einengen des Eluats zur Trockne und Lösung des Rückstandes in einer auf den Kreatiningehalt des Urins bezogenen Menge Wasser wird der Urin auf Cellulose-Fertigplatten der Fa. Merck AG. aufgetragen. Die Plattengröße beträgt 10×10 cm. Durch Verwendung von zwei Fließmittelpaaren ist es möglich, bei den meisten der bekannten Stoffwechselkrankheiten mit vermehrter Aminosäure-Ausscheidung eine Diagnose oder eine Verdachtsdiagnose zu stellen. Ausnahmen sind lediglich die Hypophosphatasie, der Sulfitoxydase-Mangel und die Taurinurie, da die bei diesen Störungen vermehrt ausgeschiedenen Aminosäuren Phosphoäthanolamin, S-Sulfo-l-cystein und Taurin bei der Entsalzung verloren gehen. Auf spezielle Probleme des Nachweises einzelner Aminosäuren wird eingegangen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über eine Patientin mit einer nichtketotischen Hyperglycinämie berichtet, die 2 Jahre lang mit einer vollsynthetischen Kost aus einem Aminosäurengemisch, Mineralien, Glucose, Fett und Vitaminzusätzen behandelt wurde. Die diätetische Behandlung sowie Zusatz von Natrium-Benzoat zur Nahrung führten nur kurzfristig zu einem Absinken der Plasma-Glycin-Konzentrationen. Nach Anreicherung der Nahrung mit L-Methionin in einer Dosierung von 300 mg/kg KG/die zeigten sich zwar deutlich niedrigere Glycinspiegel, gleichzeitig kam es aber zu einer exzessiven Hypermethioninämie. L-Methionin-Gabe in Dosierungen von 150–200 mg/kg KG hatten keinen Einfluß auf die Höhe des Plasma-Glycin-Spiegels. Die körperliche Entwicklung des Kindes unter Diätbehandlung war altersentsprechend. Ein Einfluß auf die geistige Entwicklung wurde nicht bemerkt, es bestand aber bereits zu Beginn der Behandlung das Bild einer Decrebrierung. Pathologisch-histologisch zeigten sich Veränderungen des ZNS in Form von Markscheidenreifungshemmung und einer spongiösen Degeneration der weißen Substanz in Großhirn, Kleinhirn und Rückenmark sowie Einlagerungen von doppeltbrechenden Kristallen. In der grauen Substanz waren keine groben Alterationen nachweisbar. Im Bereich des peripheren Nervensystems fanden sich keine Markscheidenausfälle und keine doppeltbrechenden Kristalle. Die Leber zeigte eine leichte Vacuolisierung der Leberzellen und eine starke Einlagerung von doppeltbrechenden Kristallen in Parenchymzellen und Makrophagen.
    Notes: Abstract A girl with non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia was treated for 2 years with a synthetic diet consisting of a glycine- and serine-free amino-acid mixture, glucose, fat, minerals, and vitamins. The addition of sodium benzoate to this diet resulted in only a temporary decrease of the plasma glycine concentration. Addition of 300 mg methionine/kg/day led to a marked reduction of glycine in the plasma but also to an excessive increase of the methionine plasma concentration. L-methionine at a lower dose did not influence the plasma glycine level. During the dietary treatment an almost normal gain of body weight was observed, though the psychomotor development was not influenced. Post mortem the following changes were noted: 1. reduced myelination of the white matter; 2. spongiform alterations of the white matter of the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the spinal cord; 3. inclusions of birefringent crystals in liver and brain. The grey matter of the cerebrum did not show any marked alterations. In peripheral nerves no areas of demyelination or inclusions of crystals were found.

    Notes: Abstract Hair selenium content was estimated by instrumental neutron activation analysis in Libyan infants and children. There was no significant difference between the values of young infants from North and South Libya. The hair selenium content rapidly decreased from 1071 ±75 ng/g in newborns to 301±99 ng/g in 7–10 months old infants in North Libya and to 557±204 ng/g in South Libya. In North Libya the values of preschool children were 409±117 ng/g and those of school children 464±124 ng/g.

    Notes: Abstract High and neurotoxic blood levels of leucine and its ketoanalogue develop in catabolic patients with maple syrup urine disease. The use of relatively high doses of insulin and additional glucose had a more pronounced effect on lowering leucine (and α-ketoisocaproate) blood levels than dietary elimination of leucine alone. This is demonstrated in 2 neonates after blood exchange transfusion and in one 4-months old patient suffering from febrile diarrhea.

    Notes: Abstract The plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity was measured in normal adults and children and in patients with reduced selenium state because of dietary treatment of metabolic diseases (phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease) before and after selenium supplementation. Besides GSHPx (measured with t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide as acceptor substrates) the activity of glutathione S-transferase was estimated in plasma. Plasma GSHPx activity in healthy children was significantly lower than in healthy adults. In 11 dietetically treated patients with phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease the plasma GSHPx was reduced to about 17% of the values of healthy children of the same age. No glutathione S-transferase activity could be found in plasma of children in normal or reduced Se state. During administration of yeast rich in Se (200μg Se/d) for 90 days 2 healthy adults showed no significant change of plasma GSHPx activity. During Se supplementation (75–100μg Se/d) for 120–163 days 5 dietetically treated patients with PKU or MSUD exhibited a significant increase of plasma GSHPx activity within 2 days. The values reached a plateau after 1 to 3 weeks of supplementation and remained at this level within the following 4 to 5 months. Therefore, the activity of plasma glutathione peroxidase can be used as an indicator of short-term changes of selenium intake in selenium deficient individuals.

    Notes: Abstract Two neonates with maple syrup urine disease were treated by exchange transfusion. Within 15 h blood leucine and KICA concentrations were lowered from 2.6 mM to 1.1 mM using 570 to 620 ml blood per kg body weight. The other branched-chain amino acid/keto acid pairs fell to normal. During exchange transfusion the patient's nitrogen balance seems to be negative. Further exchange transfusion was useless. More importantly the patient should be forced into an anabolic state by high caloric supply or insulin plus glucose treatment. More KICA than leucine was eliminated, however, KICA blood levels remained slightly higher than that of leucine indicating different leucine/KICA equilibria in extravascular compartments than in blood. In a given time interval exchange transfusion was more effective than peritoneal dialysis, probably due to a lack of an additional (peritoneal) membrane. Renal excretion of branched-chain amino and keto acids was very inefficient. The allegedly most toxic metabolite, KICA, had the lowest renal clearance of the branched-chain keto acids.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es werden Methoden dargestellt, mit denen eine quantitativ geringe Cystathioninausscheidung im Urin festgestellt und bewiesen werden kann. Es wurden 5 Kinder gefunden, die eine mäßige Cystathioninausscheidung aufwiesen (14,5–99,0 μMol/Tag). Die klinischen Befunde dieser Patienten werden dargestellt. Drei von ihnen hatten Leberaffektionen, eines eine nichtketotische Hyperglycinämie, und bei einem Kind handelte es sich um ein Neugeborenes mit multiplen Fehlbildungen. Bei allen Fällen lag eine sekundäre Cystathioninurie vor. Die Ursachen, die zu einer sekundären Cystathioninurie führen, werden besprochen.
    Notes: Abstract A secondary cystathionuria was found in two children with liver disease (cirrhosis of unknown etiology, congenital biliary atresia), in one infant with hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D, in one case of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, and in one infant with multiple malformations. Methods for the determination of cystathionine, when excreted in only small amounts, are outlined.

    Notes: Abstract The diets of 5 patients with phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease were supplemented with yeast which was rich in selenium. For 120 days the patients received 45 μg Se/day to increase the Se content of their diets to 10–12ng Se/Kjoule. Before supplementation the selenium content of serum (5–15 ng/ml) and whole blood (10–27 ng/ml), and the activity of the erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (0.19–2.69 U37/g Hb), amounted to only 10–20% of normal. The serum selenium content reached normal values within 4 weeks of supplementation, followed by normalisation of the selenium content of whole blood within 4–8 weeks. Restoration of the activity of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase took 9 to 15 weeks —the red cell life span. There was a significant positive correlation between the selenium content of the erythrocytes and the activity of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase.

    Notes: Abstract In 20 healthy infants and children, 5–20 months old, the Se intake was estimated by analysing food samples by instrumental neutron activation analysis. The intake was calculated by weighing the portions offered and actually consumed. The median Se content of the food amounted to 27 ng/g wet weight (gww) and median daily Se intake to 33.5 μg. The Se intake was not equally distributed over the day. About 50% of the daily Se intake was derived from the supper. The main Se sources (41%) for young children were cereal paps. Commercially, available meals (30 ng/g) contained less Se than home-made ones (50 ng/g). In nine dietetically treated patients with phenylketonuria the median Se intake amounted only to 6.9 μg/day corresponding to a mean Se content of the diet of 7.9 ng/g. The main Se source in the diet was vegetables (36.3%) and 20% derived from their protein supplements. The Se intake of young children, healthy or dietetically treated, cannot be calculated accurately from tables but must be estimated by measuring the Se content of the local food because cereals and vegetables-the main Se sources-exhibit great regional variations.
