A child with cleft palate is described who was born to a mother who received corticosteroid therapy early in pregnancy. The relationship between the cleft palate and the dose and timing of the corticosteroid therapy is discussed.
The ratios of some key enzymatic activities of carbohydrate metabolism have been measured in human tumor cytosols. The activities of whole hexokinase (low Km, EC 2.7.1.1 and high Km, EC 2.7.1.2), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9) change according to a biochemical pattern coherent with cell growth requirements. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity was in each sample tested higher than glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity; this indicates that 6-phosphogluconate, a powerful inhibitor of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, is unlikely to accumulate and inhibit this enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate channelling into glycolysis.
Serum prealbumin (TPBA) was assayed at birth in 32 healthy term newborns using immunoprecipitation evaluated with kinetic nephelometry.
The Chen method was adopted to monitor the principal congenital malformations in a large peripheric center. In 1982 two consecutive alarms showed an evident increase in the prevalence at birth of polydactylia. A retrospective analysis of the main risk factors failed to satisfactorily explain this increase.
The cultures performed over a period of three years in a neonatal pathology unit were studied to determine the epidemiological behaviour of the microorganisms present and variations in time of their sensitivity to antibiotics.
