    Notes: Summary Oral administration of insulin incorporated into the wall of isobutylcyanoacrylate nanocapsule to diabetic rats induces a long-lasting normalization of their fasting glycaemia. In this study, we examined the biological action of encapsulated insulin on DNA and glycogen syntheses in Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with the human insulin receptor gene. In the 10−11 mol/l–10−9 mol/l concentration range, encapsulated insulin elicited responses comparable to those induced by native insulin: at 10−9 mol/l, the rates of glycogen and DNA synthesis were enhanced by factors 3 and 2.5, respectively. Encapsulated insulin at 10−7 mol/l evoked receptor desensitization although it did not induce receptor down-regulation and did not alter receptor recycling for up to 6 h. Chloroquine decreased the action of native insulin on glycogen synthesis, but did not affect the dose-response characteristics of encapsulated insulin. Acid-washing of the cells after 1 h of stimulation decreased maximal insulin responsiveness and provoked a dose response curve for encapsulated insulin similar to that of the native hormone. Direct measurement of effective insulin binding activity showed that encapsulated insulin (at 10−8 and 10−7 mol/l) was withdrawn from the incubation medium 5–8 times less efficiently than native insulin. These data are in agreement with previous results showing that the polymeric wall protects encapsulated insulin from degradation. Persistence of intact encapsulated insulin inside and outside the cell may result in modifying signalling events and thus be responsible for the observed cellular desensitization.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To assess the efficacy and reliability of neonatal high-frequency ventilators. Design: Bench evaluation of neonatal high-frequency ventilators. Setting: Physiology department and university hospital neonatal intensive care unit. Interventions: HFV-Babylog 8000 (Dräger Medical), OHF 1 (Dufour), and SensorMedics 3100A (SensorMedics) ventilators were connected to a neonatal test-lung. Tidal volume, peak-to-peak pressure amplitude, and mean airway pressure were measured for several ventilator settings, endotracheal tube sizes, and lung compliances. Measurements and results: Increasing peak-to-peak pressure resulted in a linear increase in tidal volume delivery in the 0–30% range of maximum amplitude. No significant increase in tidal volume was observed with the HFV-Babylog8000 when pressure amplitude was above 50%. The maximum tidal volume delivered was substantially smaller with the HFV-Babylog8000 than with the OHF1 or SensorMedics3100A. Tidal volume increased with endotracheal tube size with all three ventilators. Increasing test-lung compliance resulted in lower tidal volumes only with OHF1. Decreasing mean airway pressure was responsible for a decrease in tidal volume delivery with HFV-Babylog8000. Conclusion: We found that under our test conditions two of the three ventilators delivered adequate tidal volumes at the usual frequency of 15Hz, regardless of the size of the endotracheal tube and of the mechanical properties of the respiratory system. When lung compliance increased or mean airway pressure decreased, both of which are common events during the recovery phase of hyaline membrane disease, we found that the intrinsic properties of two of the ventilators tested were responsible for a decrease in tidal volume. This decrease may account for some cases of heretofore unexplained hypercapnia.

    Notes: Abstract Objective To analyze efficiency and reliability of 4 modern neonatal ventilators under difficult test conditions. The ventilators tested were: Babylog 8000 (Dräger Medical), BP 2001 (Bear Medical Systems), Sechrist IV 100 B (Sechrist Industries), Infant Star (Infrasonics INC). Measurements and results Gas flow generation was tested by comparison of preset flow values with no resistance in the circuit to flow values obtained during interposition of a resistance in the inspiratory circuit. A decrease in gas flow was observed when interposition of a resistance in the inspiratory circuit increased peak inspiratory pressure to 60 cmH2O (gas flow decreased by 8% to 24% depending on the ventilator tested). The pressure limiting valve and the positive end-expiratory pressure valve were also evaluated in order to test their behaviour under different flow conditions. Flow-dependence of the pressure was noted for all ventilators except Babylog 8000. Assessment of the reliability of pressure monitoring revealed either ‘under’ or ‘over’ estimation of peak inspiratory pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure depending on the ventilator tested. Conclusion For the best clinical use of mechanical ventilators, neonatologists should be aware of these limitations. Therefore a regular assessment of ventilator performance and monitoring reliability is recommended.

    Notes: Abstract Fourteen hypertensive patients hospitalized in a paediatric intensive care unit were studied to evaluate safety and hypotensive efficacy of intravenous nicardipine. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased 1 h after the beginning of the treatment (1 μg/kg per minute). Mean decrease in systolic blood pressure during the first 24 h was between 9.9% and 13.4% of the initial value. Mean lowering of diastolic blood pressure was between 16.7% and 25.6%. Nicardipine did not significantly affect heart rate with dose of 1 μg/kg per minute. No clinical side-effects were observed. Nicardipine could be a first line drug for the treatment of hypertension in paediatric intensive care units.

    Notes: Abstract A retrospective study was performed on the clinical outcome and long-term treatment of 17 patients with propionic acidaemia diagnosed during the last 20 years in our hospital. The study group consisted of 12 patients with early onset type of disease and 5 patients with late onset. Seven (41%) patients died, five with early onset and two with late onset. The deceased early onset patients had a median survival of 0.4 years while the deceased late onset patients died at the age of 2.8 and 4 years respectively. Median age of the living early onset patients was 5.2 (1–9.25) years, the late onset patients were 4,7 and 23 years old. Patients were all treated with natural protein restriction and in most cases carnitine and metronidazole were added. The early onset patients were almost all treated with daily home tube feeding. The mean natural protein intake of early onset patients (6.3±1.5 g/day) was significantly lower than the natural protein intake of late onset patients (17.6±5.3 g/day). Supplemental protein intake was higher in early onset patients. The general neurological outcome of our study group was satisfactory with a better outcome for early onset patients. As to growth, many patients showed a failure to thrive, this was particularly for height. The strong protein restriction during the first years of life probably contributed to this. Conclusion The prognosis for patients with propionic acidaemia appeared to be satisfactory in terms of survival and outcome characteristics such as neurological and mental development. Despite these results the authors feel that the prognosis and quality of life of these patients might be improved with liver transplantation or possibly somatic gene therapy in the future.
