    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: Zusammenfassung Die Verbindung N,N-Dimethyl-N-2-(4-(t-butylphenoxy)ethoxy)ethyl-N-hexadecylammoniumchlorid (BDHC), eine oberflächenaktive Substanz mit zwei unterschiedlichen Seitenketten, wurde mittels einer Kombination von fluorimetrischen und viskosimetrischen Methoden charakterisiert. Anregung bei 274 nm ruft eine Fluoreszenz bei 315 nm hervor; diese Eigenschaft wurde zur Bestimmung der kritischen Micellenkonzentration (CMC) herangezogen. Es wurde ein geringfügig temperaturabhängiger Wert von 3.98×10−5 M gefunden (T min=25.35°C). Quenchexperimente mit 4-Nitroanilin ergaben eine Aggregationszahl von 42.0, viskosimetrische Untersuchungen einen hydrodynamischen Radius von 21.91 Å. Die erhaltenen Daten erlauben zusammen mit den Beziehungen nachTanford undEinstein-Stokes die Bestimmung der Micellenstruktur (sphärisch) und des Diffusionskoeffizienten (0.97×10−6 cm2/s). Das ΔG der Micellenbildung fürBDHC beträgt −34.9 kJ/mol.
    Notes: Summary A combination of fluorimetric and viscosimetric methods was used to characterize N,N-dimethyl-N-2-(4-(t-butylphenoxy)ethoxy)ethyl-N-hexadecylammonium chloride (BDHC), a doubletailed surfactant with dissimilar tail groups.BDHC was observed to fluoresce at 315 nm when excited at 274 nm, a feature which could be utilized to determine its critical micelle concentration (CMC). A value of 3.98×10−5 M was obtained and was observed to be slightly temperature dependent with aT min of 25.35°C. Fluorescence quenching experiments using 4-nitroaniline as a quencher were performed in order to determine the aggregation number which was found to be 42.0. The hydrodynamic radius of 21.91 Å was obtained using data from viscosimetric experiments. These data, together with theTanford andEinstein-Stokes relationships, were used to determine the micellar structure (spherical) and the diffusion coefficient (D=0.97×10−6 cm2/s), respectively. The ΔG of micellization forBDHC was determined to be −34.9 kJ/mol.
