Butane abuse associated Encephalopathy.

Butane contained in household products is easily available for abuse and is not subject to legal prosecution in Germany. The toxicological properties of butane mainly affect the heart and the CNS. A serious pathophysiological mechanism is asphyxia due to the replacement of oxygen by butane. We report an abusive butane inhalation in a 15-year old girl, resulting in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and subsequent development of severe brain damage. After reviewing the medical literature and questioning German toxicological information centres it became obvious, that abuse of butane is an increasing problem. We give an survey about the complications associated with butane intoxication.

The effect of deoxycholate-treatment to the photoreactions of the active pigments in photosynthesis.

In the heavy fraction of deoxycholate-treated spinach chloroplasts the chlorophyll aII activity is high and the chlorophyll aI activity is low when no artificial electron donor is added. The addition of the photosystem I donor system N-methyl-phenazonium sulphate plus sodium ascorbate (PMS + Asc) leads to a complete reactivation of the chlorophyll aI reaction. The addition of the photosystem II donor system p-benzohydroquinone plus sodium ascorbate (HQ + Asc) leads to an inhibition of the chlorophyll aII activity. From these results we conclude: 1. Besides an interruption of the linear electron flow between the two photosystems deoycholate-treatment leads to a block of the electron flow from water to photosystem II. 2. In deoxycholate-treated chloroplasts the linear electron flow in photosystem II just like in Tris-washed, heat-treated or aged chloroplasts, is replaced by a cyclic one.
