The fatty acid composition of triglycerides in arteries, depot fat and serum of amputated diabetics.

The triglyceride fatty acid pattern (TFAP) in arterial wall, adipose tissue and serum in vivo has been estimated in amputated diabetic subjects by gas-liquid chromatography simultaneously. Besides, in some probands the fatty acid pattern of cholesterol esters of vessel walls has been obtained. In arterial wall the percental content of lauric, myristic, myristoleic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic and linolenic acid was high and that of palmitic and linoleic acid was low, when compared to serum, whereas eicosatrienoic, arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acid were of similar magnitude. In comparison to adipose tissue myristic, palmitic and nervonic acid were decreased and eicosatrienoic, arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acid were increased in arterial wall. In view of the results the speculation is obvious that certain fatty acids have distinct metabolic positions in several tissues, such as depot fatty acids and precursors of prostaglandins, for example.

[Diabetic coma as a task for intensive therapy].

On the basis of 763 cases with diabetic coma from 1960 to 1973 is referred to the advantages of the foundation of a coma ward as department of intensive observation. It is reported on some successful changes of therapy in recent years. The introduction of methods of intensive therapy has led to a significant decrease of lethality. A sufficient administration of potassium (not less than 200 mval/die) and the prevention of a cerebral oedema are actual demands for the improvement of the prognosis of diabetic coma.

[Earning- and working disability in long-term diabetic patients].

On the basis of the experiences of the Berlin Central Institution for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases is reported on the capacity to earn their living and the fitness for work of diabetics, especially of 268 long-term diabetics at the age in which they can earn their living and at the retirement age. 31% of these patients belonged to the group of pensioners, 19% of them are still working. 69% of the long-term diabetics are at working age, of them 24% are already pensioners due to diabetes and 4% due to other diseases. Among the complications of diabetes leading to pensioning are frequently mentioned retinopathy, nephropathy in the wider sense, macroangiopathy and neuropathy, rarely, however, instable metabolism. The peculiarities are discussed. In answering the difficult question of the estimation of the incapacity to earn one's living in diabetics in every case the diabetologist should be consulted.
