    Notes: Abstract In order to characterize the role of carnitine during metabolic stress, we prospectively determined carnitine profiles in plasma and urine on admission, days 2, 5, 10 and 15, among 28 critically ill children free of any known conditions associated with secondary carnitine deficiency. More than 25% of plasma and 50% of urinary carnitine measurements were abnormal; 96% (27/28) of patients displayed on at least one occasion an abnormal [〈−2 SD or 〉+2 SD] carnitine value in plasma. Three children had extremely low [〈10 μmol/l] free carnitine (FC) levels in plasma. Plasma esterified and FC levels on admission were not related to the risk of mortality [PRISM score], to muscle lysis [CK values], and to the caloric intake. Levels of FC and esterified carnitine in plasma were unrelated to those measured in urine. Conclusion Abnormal plasma and urine carnitine measurements are frequently found in critically ill children; the biological significance of these perturbations remains unclear. Caution must be exercised before concluding that an abnormal carnitine value is indicative of an underlying hereditary metabolic disorder in this population.

    Description / Table of Contents: Although nitrogen inversion in unsubstituted aziridines has been shown by 1H NMR, it was only possible to study quantitatively the distribution of both invertomers and determine the thermodynamic parameters by a systematic high field NMR study (CAMECA 250 MHz). Thermodynamic parameters have been determined for 32 compounds. In C-aryl aziridines, the steric hindrance of the aromatic group and its variation with other aziridine ring substituents can be studied. These observations are in agreement with a conjugation phenomenon between the aromatic system and the aziridine ring.
    Notes: Bien que le phénomène d'inversion de l'azote dans les aziridines secondaires ait pu être mis en évidence par RMN 1H, seule une étude systématique à 250 MHz a permis d'étudier quantitativement la répartion des deux invertomères et ainsi, de déterminer les paramètres thermodynamiques liés à l'équilibre conformationnel. Ces paramètres ont été déterminés pour 32 composés. Dans les aziridines C-phénylées, une variation de l'encombrement du groupement aromatique en fonction des autres substituants du cycle aziridine peut être mis en évidence. Ces observations prouvent l'existence d'un phénomène de conjugaison entre système aromatique et petit cycle. phénomène préalablement mis en évidence par effet Faraday.
