    Notes: A controlled investigation was conducted to assess the relative effectiveness of amitriptyline and methylphenidate for treating hyperactive/aggressive behavior in children originally referred to a learning clinic. Behavioral change was measured through parent and teacher ratings. Drug effects on attention, short term memory, and impulsivity were evaluated with laboratory tasks. It was found that both drugs were largely comparable in attenuating hyperactivity and aggression. Of the laboratory measures, only attention was improved by both drugs. However, neither medication interfered with functioning on the other laboratory tests. With the exception of and trip by line-induced sedation, side effects were of minor degree. Findings raised questions concerning measuring and improving attentiveness. Differences between results of this and other studies were discussed, as were issues regarding pharmacotherapy with amitriptyline in children.

    Notes: Abstract The probenecid procedure was used to study the metabolite accumulations of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 11 children receiving chronic neuroleptic therapy. Specimens were obtained while the children were being given chronically prescribed medication (Condition 1) and again 3–4 weeks later, following the discontinuation of drugs (Condition 2). At that time, five children showed typical dyskinetic withdrawal emergent symptoms (WES) and six were free of symptoms. CSF specimens were also obtained from eight drug-free children, diagnosed as having ‘chronic organic brain disease,’ who served as a contrast population against which the findings were evaluated. CSF accumulations of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) did not differentiate the drug-treated children who showed WES from those who did not manifest these symptoms. A significant decrease in 5-HIAA was found in Condition 2, suggesting that chronic treatment with neuroleptics may effect 5-HT metabolism in children. The contrast population was found to have lower CSF concentrations of probenecid and were consequently of little help in clarifying the nature of the 5-HIAA decrement. A number of serious deficiences were noted regarding the use of the probenecid procedure, and it is felt that the use of spinal taps for studying neuroleptic effects on brain metabolism in children is unlikely to provide important information with regard to either CNS drug actions or toxicity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les résultats de divers travaux montrent que la valeurE e de l'énergie activation expérimentale tirée des diagrammes d'Arrhénius varie avec la pression, dans le cas de réactions de décompositions endothermiques. L'analyse de divers modèles permet d'expliquer cette constatation en montrant que la grandeurE e n'a pas le sens d'une énergie d'activation mais est une fonction de nombreux paramètres. Deux d'entre eux ont été retenus dans le cadre de cette étude: le terme d'écart à l'équilibre et le terme de gradient thermique, provoqué par l'endothermicité du phénomène. Cette analyse permet d'établir une prévision de la fonctionE e (P) conforme aux résultats expérimentaux.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Ergebnisse verschiedener Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die aus den Arrhenius-Diagrammen abgeleiteten experimentellen Werte der AktivierungsenergieE e bei endothermen Zersetzungsreaktionen mit dem Druck variieren. Die Analyse verschiedener Modelle ermöglicht eine Erklärung dieser Tatsache, indem gezeigt wird, dassE e nicht in ihrer grundliegenden Formulierung betrachtet werden darf, sondern als Funktion einer Anzahl von Parametern. Zwei dieser Parameter wurden in der vorliegenden Untersuchung berücksichtigt d.h. die Abweichung von dem Gleichgewicht und der thermische Gradient, welcher infolge der endothermen Beschaffenheit der Erscheinung auftritt. Eine den Versuchsergebnissen entsprechende FunktionE e (P) kann mittels einer solchen Analyse vorausgesagt werden.
    Notes: Abstract The results from various investigations show that the experimental activation energy valueE e derived from the Arrhenius diagrams varies with pressure for endothermic decomposition reactions. The analysis of various models allows this fact to be accounted for by showing thatE e should be regarded not in its fundamental formulation, but as being a function of numerous parameters. Two of these were taken into account in the present study, i.e. deviation from equilibrium and a thermal gradient due to the fact that the phenomenon is endothermic. FunctionE e (P) fitting the experimental results may be predicted by such an analysis.

    Notes: Abstract In a patient with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome we found decreased spinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA), the major metabolite of serotonin, and decreased homovanillic acid (HVA), the major metabolite of dopamine, indicating a decrease in monoamine metabolism. Administration of 5-hydroxytryptophan and carbidopa produced an increase in spinal fluid 5-HIAA, indicating that it might be possible to correct the serotonin deficiency in this syndrome, but there were no changes in the marked mental retardation and neurological deficits. Self-mutilation appeared to be suppressed by therapy but the effectiveness of the drugs decreased with time. There were also changes in the spinal fluid concentration of amino acids that might affect brain protein synthesis. These changes were corrected during administration of 5-hydroxytryptophan and carbidopa.
