    Notes: Abstract  The δ13C-values of organic acids and their correlations to those of the sugar and ethanol, respectively, from 57 EU data bank wines of the Rheinpfalz area (years 1991 – 1993) and from some of their corresponding musts have been determined. In addition to the well established difference between fermented sugar and ethanol (Δδ13C = –1.7±0.2‰), a new constant correlation was found in wine for ethanol and citric acid (Δδ13C = +2.4±0.4‰). From this result a fixed δ-value difference for citric acid in wine to the fermented sugar of +0.7±0.6‰ can be deduced. The δ13C-values of L-malic acid and L-tartaric acid in must were not altered by the alcoholic fermentation; they should therefore directly provide access to the δ13C-value of the natural sugar in must. However, in non-adulterated wines the expected δ13C-value differences between these acids and ethanol showed unsatisfactory correlation coefficients. For L-malate this is attributed to the secondary (partial) degradation of this acid by the malolactic fermentation; a corresponding correction is envisaged in order to make L-malate available as an internal standard. As a reason for the unsatisfactory correlation between L-tartaric acid and ethanol, it is supposed that the time of its maximum biosynthesis period does not coincide with that of glucose in the grape ripening period.

    Effect of aconitine on the sodium permeability of the node of ranvier (1974)

    Notes: Summary The effect of aconitine (10−5–10−6 g/ml) on membrane potentials and membrane currents of myelinated nerve fibres of Xenopus laevis was investigated. The following observations were made: a) Current clamp conditions: Slow depolarization (10–15 mV), decrease of amplitude and maximum rate of rise of action potential, finally inexcitability. With inward current pulses ‘hyperpolarizing responses’ could be elicited at membrane potentials more negative than the resting potential (E r ). Neither spontaneous activity nor repetitive responses to electrical stimuli were observed. No effects of aconitine were found in Na-free solutions or in the presence of tetrodotoxin. b) Voltage clamp conditions: Development of steady inward current at normal resting potential due to formation of a non-inactivating sodium permeability; heavily poisoned nodes therefore exhibit an N-shaped steady-state current voltage relation with negative slope at membrane potentials more negative thanE r . These non-inactivating sodium channels open more slowly than normal sodium channels, and can only be closed by hyperpolarizing the membrane by about 50 mV. The majority of sodium channels have almost normalτ m; theirm ∞ andh ∞-V relations are shifted by 10–15 mV towardsE r . It is concluded that these changes of the sodium permeability account for the changes of electrical activity observed after treatment with aconitine.

    Notes: Abstract In 34 children with phenylketonuria (PKU) treated early the prognostic value of the age on institution of the diet (within the first 3 months of life) and of the quality of dietary treatment was determined in two different ways: 1) following intelligence closely (IQ) and (2) evaluating the EEG development up to their 12th (n=34) and 15th (n=18) years of life as appropriate. In general, IQ scores were found to be normal from the 4th–15th years of life. In our group of patients there was no effect on the IQ of the timing of diet onset. Children with “strict” dietary control showed a significantly higher IQ than those with “loose” control. One hundred and fifty-four EEGs (10/20 system, awake with eyes closed) were recorded at intervals of 2 years and conventionally evaluated. The development of alpha-activity was found to be normal. Beta-activity was enhanced. Abnormal EEG findings like general slowing and generalized paroxysmal activity (GPA) with or without spikes were more frequent in children with PKU than in controls, with the exception of focal abnormalities. EEG abnormalities increased with advancing age independently of IQ development and showed no relation to either the age at the onset nor the quality of dietary treatment.

    Prenatal diagnosis of “dihydrobiopterin synthetase” deficiency, a variant form of phenylketonuria (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Amniocentesis was performed at 19 weeks gestation in a mother who had previously delivered a boy with “dihydrobiopterin synthetase” (DHBS) deficiency. The amniotic fluid contained neopterin in high (136 nmol/l) and biopterin in very low concentrations (1.8 nmol/l). The activity of the phosphate-eliminating enzyme (PEE, also called 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase, substrate: 7,8-dihydroneoptein triphosphate) which is present in liver and erythrocytes and defective in DHBS deficiency, was measured in the erythrocytes of the family members. The fetal sample showed only 2% of the activity of healthy adult controls and was comparable with that of the affected sibling. Obligate heterozygotes had activities around 20% of the controls. Two fetal control samples showed even higher activities than adult erythrocytes. Sepiapterin reductase activities were normal in all cases. At autopsy, PEE deficiency was confirmed in the liver of the fetus. We concluded that DHBS deficiency (and most probably also GTP cyclohydrolase I deficiency) can be diagnosed by metabolite measurements in amniotic fluid. PEE activity is measurable in erythrocytes, although the assay needs to be improved. Since maternal tetrahydrobiopterin does not cross the placenta, treatment of a tetrahydrobiopterin-deficient fetus with tetrahydrobiopterin in utero is not possible.

    Neurological outcome in adult patients with early-treated phenylketonuria (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Due to the observation of severe neurological symptoms in single patients as well as brain imaging, neuropsychological and neurophysiological abnormalities, the long-term prognosis of treated phenylketonuria is still under discussion. We investigated the neurological outcome of 57 (24 male, 33 female) patients with phenylketonuria (diet onset 〈3 months) at a mean age of 23.6 (17–33) years in comparison to control subjects. Methods used were a clinical-neurological examination, tests for fine motor abilities, IQ test (WAIS-R), a neuropsychological attention task and MRI (30 patients only). Tremor was increased in the patients (28%) compared to controls (15%). Fine motor abilities were significantly reduced in three areas: hand-wrist steadiness, finger-hand dexterity and hand-wrist speed. Tremor as well as reduced fine motor skills were not associated with treatment-related variables, e.g. diet onset, strictness of biochemical control or amount of MRI white matter change. IQ was lower in patients (mean 97.6) compared to matched control subjects (mean 105.5). IQ at 12 years was correlated with biochemical control from birth up to the age of 12 and remained stable up to adult age, independent of biochemical control after 12 years of age. In contrast to the other outcome parameters, the performance in a neuropsychological attention task was influenced by the concurrent plasma phenylalanine concentration. Specific late-onset neurological impairment was not identified in this sample of early-treated adults with phenylketonuria. Conclusion Careful neurological investigation revealed subtle symptoms of brain damage even after early-initiated treatment in adult patients with phenylketonuria. At present it cannot be excluded that further neurological deterioration could emerge later in life. Thus, patients with phenylketonuria – either on or off diet – should be monitored throughout life.

    Notes: Summary 1. The action of scorpion venom (10−6 g/ml) on the ionic currents of single myelinated nerve fibres of Xenopus laevis was studied in voltage clamp experiments. 2. Scorpion venom was found to affect the sodium permeability as well as the potassium permeability of the nodal membrane. 3. The main effects of scorpion venom on the sodium permeabilityP Na are: a) The maximum sodium permeability $$\bar P_{_{{\rm N}a} } $$ is reduced to 60% of its value in the unpoisoned membrane. b) The sodium inactivation is markedly slowed and proceeds in two phases. c) The time course ofP Na can be described assuming that the variableh is the sum of two componentsx andy, whose time constants τ x and τ y are 4 and 200 times τh of the unpoisoned membrane. 4. The effects of scorpion venom on the potassium permeabilityP K are: a) The maximum potassium permeabilityP K' is reduced to about 35% of its normal value. b) The increase ofP K' upon depolarisation is slowed down; two phases can be distinguished. 5. The effects on sodium inactivation and potassium permeability may explain the extreme prolongation of the action potential under the influence of scorpion venom.

Die Wirkung von Skorpiongift auf die Inaktivierung der Natrium-PermeabilitätP Na wurde in voltage-clamp-Experimenten an einzelnen markhaltigen Nervenfasern von Xenopus laevis untersucht. 2. Beim normalen Ruhepotential warP Na der vergifteten Membran stärker inaktiviert als an der unvergifteten Membran; bei starken Depolarisationen war die Inaktivierung jedoch unvollständig. 3. Der zeitliche Verlauf vonP Na konnte unter verschiedenen experimentellen Bedingungen mit den Hodgkin-Huxley-Gleichungen beschrieben werden, die wie folgt modifiziert wurden: a) die Variableh wurde durch eine schnelle Komponentex und eine langsame Komponentey ersetzt; b) die Komponentex nahm selbst bei Depolarisationen von mehr als 40 mV nicht auf Null ab.
    Notes: Summary 1. The action of scorpion venom on the inactivation of the sodium permeabilityP Na was studied in voltage-clamp experiments on single myelinated nerve fibres of Xenopus laevis. 2. At the normal resting potentialP Na of the poisoned membrane was more inactivated than the control; at large depolarizations inactivation was, however, incomplete. 3. The time course ofP Na under various experimental conditions could be described by theHodgkin-Huxley equations modified as follows: a) the variableh was split into a fast and a slow component (x andy, respectively); b) componentx did not vanish even for depolarizations by more than 40 mV.
