Rapid chromatographic method to determine polyamines in urine and whole blood.

A procedure is described for the rapid determination of putrascine, spermine and spermidine in ruine and whole blood. The samples are hydrolyzed with barium hydroxide and are neutralized with sulfuric acid. The polyamines are concentrated and separated from amino acids on a small bed of ion-exchange resin that then serves to load the samples on a two-channel, automated ion-exchange chromatography apparatus. As many as 100 samples can be analyzed in a 24-h period. The method has been shown to be applicable to the analysis of urine and whole blood samples, but further development is needed for application to serum samples.

[Etiology of cerebral vasospasm].

Basing on prior investigations, the site of action of an alpha-adrenergic substance liberated by platelets, which elicit cerebral vasospasm, was precisely located experimentally in white mice. It could be shown, that this substance incites the alpha-receptors of the smooth muscle cells, because the depletion of catecholamines in the postsynaptic nervous fibres by Tyramine does not abolish the capability for cerebral vasospasm. Furthermore could be shown, that stimulation of beta-receptors by Isoproterenol can inhibit the vasospasm completely.

[The anterior instability of the ankle joint in lateral ligament lesions (author's transl)].

In 50 unbiased ligamentous ruptures of the lateral ankle the anterior and the lateral instability of the ankle was evaluated by x-ray-pictures under strain. With increasing talar tilt the anterior instability also increased. But in some cases an isolated anterior and an isolated lateral instability could be found. The routine use of the x-ray-picture under strain in the sagittal plane is recommended, because the isolated rupture of the anterior fibulotalar ligament can be detected only by this mean.

[Investigations of the normal stability of Chopart's joint (author's transl)].

The stability of the so-called Chopart-joint was evaluated in 50 healthy and asymptomatic patients by x-ray examination under strain. Complete stability was found in 38%. Widening of the lateral joint space up to 4 mm in the remaining patients could be demonstrated. Greater instability must be regarded to be a ruptur of the Lig. calcaneocubiodeum.

[The problem of normal stability of the trapeziometacarpal joint].

In 50 healthy and asymptomatic people the stability of the trapeziometacarpal joint of the thumb was evaluated. A mean subluxation of 3,32 mm on the radial side (type 1), and of 0,32 mm on the dorsal side (type II) was found. At the minimum the joint was completely stable; the maximal value was 7 and 3 mm. Higher values must be estimated as pathological joint laxity.
