[Prosthetic treatment of juvenile patients].

An account is given of the author's experience in the prosthetic treatment (removable appliances) of children. The authors consider that prosthetic treatment in the primary dentition can be both justified and indicated due to absence or loss of primary teeth. Treatment must take into consideration the growth of the jaws as well as eruption of the permanent teeth. Prosthetic treatment of the young permanent dentition and of the erupting secondary dentition may particularly be necessary, but one must absolutely take into consideration the continuous growth of the jaws. It is important that the dental surgeon have to activate the parents to participate in their child's oral home care.

A urinary pentasaccharide in bovine mannosidosis.

Abnormally high amounts of low molecular weight mannose-rich carbohydrate material were found in the urine of an Angus calf with mannosidosis. At least five oligosaccharide fractions were detected by paper chromatography. The most abundant compound was purified by gel chromatography, zone electrophoresis, and two consecutive preparative paper chromatographic steps. The yield was 10 mg/liter of urine. From structural studies including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical rotation, sugar analysis, methylation analysis, and partial enzymatic degradation the following structure was deduced: alpha-D-Manp-(1 leads to 6)-beta-D-Manp-(1 leads to 4)-beta-D-GlcNAcp-(1 leads to 4)-beta-D-GlcNAcp-(1 leads to 4)-D-GlcNAc. This oligosaccharide is distinct from all the oligosaccharides previously described which are excreted by patients with mannosidosis.

Secondary radiation from a spherical tissue-equivalent phantom irradiated with 60Co gamma radiation and 6 MV X-rays.

The angular dependence and the dependence on the phantom mass of the secondary exposure rate from spherical tissue-equivalent phantoms irradiated with 60Co gamma radiation and 6 MV X-rays have been investigated both by measurement and by calculation using the Monte Carlo method and approximate methods. A nonlinear dependence on the phantom mass was found. Calculation of the differential photon fluence was also made. These measurements and calculations can be used when calculating the required barrier thickness for walls which are not hit by primary radiation.
