[Osteotomy of the pelvis (Chiari) (author's transl)].

Judging by 203 cases the pelvic displacement osteotomie by Chiari has proven to be a very effective method to correct the deficient femoral head cover of the dysplastic acetabulum, in many cases however it is difficult to normalize the roof angle. We examined 51-joints in which the pelvic osteotomie by Chiari had been performed just before and particularily after growth had come to an end, in view of the prophylaxis of arthrosis of this operation. Hereby we observed that development or increase of anthrotic signs on an average of 10 1/2 years was less frequent than could be expected without the osteotomy, the clinical condition remaining approximately the same as before the operation, but nevertheless did not deteriorate.

Circular dichroism of partially purified cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver microsomes.

The heme related circular dichroic bands of solubilized cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver and some of its complexes with type I- and type II-substrayes and heme iron ligands were measured in the Soret region. All P-450 dersorption. The positions of the dichroic bands together with their ellipticities vary with ligand substitution and the oxidative state of the iron. The results are compared with CD-date of other hemoproteins and discussed with respect to stereochemical properties of the heme pocket.

[The involvement of the position of the femoral head through intertrochanteric osteotomies (author's transl)].

The definition of capacity and strain of the hip joint has since Pauwels (1965 and 1973) been examined and quantitative and qualitative described by various authors. In the following it is attempted to state the relations between intertrochanter correction and the position of the hip joint, which enable a declaration on the dislocation of the main carrying zone of the head of femur. Factors and methods being complementary and such having an effect of contrary sence are thereat especially described.

Glutamine dipeptide-supplemented parenteral nutrition reverses gut atrophy, disaccharidase enzyme activity, and absorption in rats.

BACKGROUND: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is associated with intestinal atrophy and dysfunction possibly attributed to the absence of the nonessential amino acid glutamine from commercially available TPN solutions because of the instability of the monoamino acid during heat sterilization and storage. The use of stable dipeptides may overcome this problem. In this study we tested the hypothesis that glutamine dipeptide supplementation with alanyl-L-glutamine during TPN for 10 days would reverse small bowel atrophy and TPN-induced dysfunction in rats. METHODS: A conventional TPN solution (250 kcal/kg bw) was compared with an isocaloric and isonitrogenous TPN supplemented with alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide. A food-fed control group was included (n = 6 each group). Jejunum mucosal architecture, absorption of water and glucose, and disaccharidase activity of maltase and alkaline phosphatase were evaluated. RESULTS: TPN-induced villous atrophy, significantly reduced absorption rate, and decreased activity of villous enzymes, compared with the TPN group, could be reversed by supplementation of glutamine dipeptide alanyl-L-glutamine to parenteral nutrition solutions with no difference to the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Glutamine dipeptide-enriched parenteral nutrition preserves mucosal structure and reversed atrophy-associated dysfunction.
