Zinc and copper in infants fed breast-milk or different formula

In 129 term infants at birth and at the age of 4 months, zinc and copper concentrations of plasma and urine were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry and the values correlated to other biochemical parameters and somatic data. Of the infants, 49 were exclusively breast-fed, 44 fed with various commercially available cow's milk formula, 35 fed with a hypollergenic formula (cows's milk whey hydrolysate, commercially available, supplemented with zinc and copper). Plasma zinc values declined from birth to the age of 4 months in all three groups (P<0.001). In formula fed children, 4 months old, the values (11.1±1.7 mol Zn/l) were significantly lower than in breast-fed (12.2±1.7 mol Zn/l;P=0.004) or babies on hypo-allergenic formula (12.4±1.6 mol Zn/l;P=0.0015). In accordance with the literature plasma copper and caeruloplasmin values increased significantly within the first 4 months of life, the plasma levels were similar in either feeding group, only urinary copper excretion was higher in male infants on hypoallergenic formula (P<0.03) at the age of 4 months. There were no correlations between zinc or copper values and alkaline phosphatase. In infants on hypo-allergenic formula there was a negative correlation between plasma zinc and weight or height increments. Despite different zinc and copper supply, presumedly different bioavailability, and different plasma zinc values, all infants thrived and weight and length increments were similar in each group.

Evidence for an inherent,ATP-stimulated uptake of calcium into chromaffin granules

Summary Partially purified chromaffin granules (granular fraction), crude mitochondria (mitochondrial fraction) and a microsomal fraction were prepared from bovine adrenals by differential centrifugation and characterized by their catecholamine content, succinate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activity. During isotonic incubation with 0.1 mM ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ all fractions showed an uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺, which was stimulated by ATP. In addition, after incubation the granular fraction was further fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation (2.0–1.3 M sucrose; 170,000g·60 min). In some of these experiments the granular fraction was incubated simultaneously with ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ and [³H](-)noradrenaline to compare the uptake of both. The rate of uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction (characterized by the highest catecholamine content and the lowest succinate dehydrogenase activity) was doubled by ATP. The ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction of chromaffin granules was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) (0.1 mM), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) (0.1 mM), azide (1 mM), carbonyl cyanide mchlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) (20M), atractyloside (50 M), ruthenium red (40 M) and amobarbital (1 mM). This inhibition pattern was different from that of the ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the microsomal fraction, but it was similar to that of the ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the mitochondrial fraction. However, the following differences are incompatible with the view that a mitochondrial contamination, with a highly active uptake, is responsible for the ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction of chromaffin granules: a) The uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the mitochondrial fraction was insensitive to 1 mM amobarbital, whereas this agent inhibited the uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction of chromaffin granules. b) Replacement of ATP by succinate stimulated the uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the mitochondrial fraction only. c) The dependence of the ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ on the concentration of ATP (0.1–5 mM) was determined: while uptake into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction of chromaffin granules exhibited saturation kinetics, that into the mitochondrial fraction was linearly related to the concentration of ATP. Interestingly, uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into those fractions of chromaffin granules that are known to be contaminated with mitochondria (1.6 M sucrose fraction) exhibited bot a saturable and a nonsaturable component. d) The uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the mitochondrial fraction was more sensitive to 0.1 mM DNP than the uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction of chromaffin granules.The comparison of the ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ with that of [³H](-)noradrenaline into the 2.0 M sucrose fraction of chromaffin granules revealed that amobarbital, N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), DNP and increasing concentrations of ATP had the same influence on both uptake processes. From our results we conclude that an inherent, ATP-stimulated uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ exists in chromaffin granules. The effects of agents on the uptake of ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ and/or [³H](-)noradrenaline into chromaffin granules are discussed with regard to the granular uptake mechanisms.This work was supported by the Deutsche ForschungsgemeinschaftSome results were reported at the 18th Spring Meeting 1977 of the Deutsche Pharmakologische Gesellschaft (Burger and Häusler 1977)     

Primary infiltrating signet ring carcinoma of the eyelids

A 61-year old man presented with a five-year history of a swelling initially developing in his right lower lid that progressed to involve the lateral canthal skin and eventually the upper lid and anterior orbit. He was discovered to have an infiltrating, poorly differentiated, mucin-producing carcinoma. Systemic work-up failed to disclose a visceral malignancy, and it was concluded that his tumor was primary in the lids, arising from an adnexal sweat gland. Three other reports in the literature also share almost identical clinical and pathologic features, in that all of the earlier reports dealt with middle-aged or elderly men who had diffusely indurated lids. Histopathologically, the tumor cells grow diffusely in a sclerotic stroma, and resemble the "histiocytoid" variant of metastatic breast carcinoma to the lids in women. Ultrastructural studies in our case point toward an apocrine origin, although earlier authors have favored an eccrine origin. Despite its indolent clinical course, the tumor is capable of producing regional and distant metastases on long-term follow-up. Complete local excision, possibly necessitating radical surgery, is probably the preferred method of treatment, but local radiotherapy may have a beneficial effect in retarding spread of the disease.     

A Merkel cell tumor of the eyelid

The Merkel cell is a distinctive nondendritic, nonkeratinocytic, epithelial clear cell believed to migrate from the neural crest to the epidermis and dermis, which is usually located in or near the basal layer of the epidermis and associated with nerve terminations. Merkel first described these cells in 1875 as "Tastzellen" occurring in the snout of a mole. They are believed to function as slowly adapting mechanoreceptors that mediate the sense of touch. Tumors arising from Merkel cells have been reported to occur on the head and neck area, the trunk, arms, and legs, and resemble a primary cutaneous lymphoma or cutaneous metastasis of a lymphoma or a carcinoma. Electron microscopy, to locate the characteristic membrane-bound, dense core neurosecretory granules, is needed for accurate diagnosis. These tumors must be treated aggressively to minimize the chance of local recurrence and nodal or visceral metastases. The authors present a case of Merkel cell tumor occurring on the eyelid. The clinical history, light and electron microscopic findings are shown.
