[Mental development of children suffering from chronic insufficiency of digestion under dietary therapy for several years].

73 children suffering from malabsorption, galactosaemia, and fructose intolerance had been treated for many years. They were investigated psychologically in regard of their mental development. The nutritional condition was very bad before and in the first time of therapy, nevertheless a normal intelligence and an inconspicuous social behaviour was founded. The considerable retardation of the bodily and intellectual development was not sufficiently compensated in the preschool-age. But there is a better arrangement during school-age.

[L-alanyl-L-proline-dipeptidase and glycyl-L-valine-depeptidase in malabsorption syndrome].

On the basis of comparative determinations of the activities of dipeptidases and disaccharidases of the mucous membrane of the small intestine (proximal jejunum) clear correspondences between the morphological findings and the biochemical parameters were the result. L-alanyl-L-prolin-dipeptidase and glycyl-L-valin-dipeptidase as well as lactase, saccharase, maltase and trehalase were determined in altogether 45 children with various malabsorption syndromes of different age in different stages of disease. Diminutions of the activity of the dipeptidases were to be proved analogously to maltase, saccharase and lactase, too, in most cases of subtotal or total villous atrophy. From the results conclusions may be derived to the restricted ability of protein absorption in chronic disease of the small intestine.
