A 10-year old girl (34.5 kg) being treated at our clinic for osteomyelitis erroneously received an overdose of lincomycin. On a single day she was given 2 infusions containing 6 g of lincomycin each, which corresponds to a dose of 343 mg/kg of body weight. There was an interval of 10 h between infusions. Apart from fatigue and unpleasant taste sensation, she demonstrated no signs of intoxication. None of the laboratory parameters (GOT, GPT, gamma-GT, LDH, G-LDH, LAP, alkaline phosphatase and CK; furthermore, the concentrations of glucose, BUN, creatinine, uric acid and bilirubin) offered any evidence of toxic organ damage. Osteomyelitis in children demands extremely high doses of antibiotics. In view of this fact, the therapeutic range of a substance is of utmost clinical interest.

Investigations were performed to evaluate the activities of serum glutamic oxalacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and lactate-dehydrogenase enzymes in rats intoxicated by different doses of carbon disulfide. Serum GOT and GPT activities were elevated which may be due to CS2 effect on cell membrane permeability. Serum-alkaline-phosphatase activity showed also increment, which was again attributed to the liver affection. A significant rise in serum-lactate-dehydrogenase activity which was referred to be as a result of muscle-lactate dehydrogenase release into the blood circulation.

Ten episodes of massive transaminase increase with hepatic necrosis were observed in 7 patients after infusion of megluminioglycamide (Biligram). The patients were 3 men and 4 women aged 49 to 65 years with biliary tract disease (n = 1), recurrent pancreatitis (n = 1), hyperlipidaemia and minimal toxic liver damage (n = 1), pyelonephritis (n = 1), , arteriitis (n = 1), and pseudo-LE (n = 1). In 6 patients there was an increase of the alkaline phosphatase without icterus before the investigation and a slight increase of transaminases in 3 patients. After infusion of 100 ml of Biligram in 5 patients and of 200 ml in 2 patients there was an abrupt increase of GPT (98-2202 U/l) with a lesser increase of GOT. The alkaline phosphatase activity remained unchanged. Three patients showed symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, fever erythema, or conjunctivitis. Histologically all patients showed centrolobular necroses. Transaminases should be checked 2 days after intravenous cholangiograms. In patients with a definite increase reexposure should be avoided.

The authors report on biochemical and hematologic investigations during 6 extracorporeal heterologous perfusions by means of porcine livers in 4 patients suffering from acute hepatic failure. The findings stress the functioning of porcine liver in the extracorporeal system. All livers produced bile with higher values of bilirubin and pH than found in serum. At each perfusion the serum levels of bilirubin decreased. Activities of serum enzymes (GOT, GPT, GLDH, gamma-GT, alkaline phosphatase) and the levels of potassium and sodium behaved differently. This could be explained by different damages of the porcine livers during perfusion which always occur. In 3 perfusions decreased leucocyte counts were observed, explicable immunologically. Extracorporeal heterologous perfusion by means of an alien liver is considered a possible way for temporary replacement of liver function and for removing toxins from the host. Success in single cases with reasonable indication are considered possible. The patients endured the perfusions well. After transitory improvement of their general conditions they succumbed from their severe diseases, though.

The influence of phenobarbitone givenin ten repeated doses simultaneously with small doses of CCl4 on serum enzymes was investigated in albino rats. The same experiment was repeated to investigate the influence of propionyl-promazine (phenothiazine derivative). The results proved that SGPT is a more specific and sensitive index than SGOT of hepato-cellular injury. The activity ratio between serum GOT and GPT in the normal control group was 2.44. The activity of SGPT increased nearly 6.1 fold after CCl4 administration and thus the activity ratio between GOT and GPT is sharply reduced to 0.56. The activity of serum GPT when CCl4 and phenobarbitone were administered together showed value of about 1/2 of the value when CCl4 was administered alone, while it remained high when CCl4 administration was combined with propionyl-promazine. Serum GOT and alkaline phosphatase increased significantly in all the groups. Regarding the pathological examination of the liver it was found that marked fatty necrosis could be demonstrated when high values of SGPT was found, which is not the case with serum GOT. It is concluded that in the present experimental conditions phenobarbitone protected the liver from the hepatotoxic effect of CCl4, while propionyl-promazine did not.

In a series of experiments with a total of 1480 veal calves, different aspects of treating calves with anabolic steroids were examined. The anabolics used were 17beta-estradiol (E), trenbolone acetate (T), progesterone (P), testosterone (Te), C+T, E+P, E+Te and zeranole (Z). The N-retention was estimated by examining the urea: creatinine ratio in single urine specimens during the course of two feeding trials. Increased gain due to the treatment with E (20 mg implanted/calf) + P (200 mg) and Te (200 mg), respectively, E + T (140 mg) or Z (36 mg) was during the whole experimental period. The extra gain, due to anabolics seems to contain even more protein. This conclusion may be supported by the crude protein content of meat samples. The antibody production of a total of 311 male and female calves was investigated after the application of the following steroids: E (20 mg), T (200 mg), T (200 mg), E + T, P (200 mg), Te (200 mg), E + P, E + Te, and Z. Eleven days after the implantation of the steroids the animals were immunized with alumprecipitated human serumalbumin. Antibody-titres were determined by the Antigen-Binding-Capacity Test on day 14 following immunization. In nearly all groups the antibody-titres of female calves exceeded those of male calves on the average by 75%. The immune response of all experimental groups did not differ significantly from that of the corresponding control groups. However, the results indicate that both E + T and its single components E and T exert an immunodepressive effect in male calves. While the humoral antibody formation in the calf appears not to be influenced by anabolic steroids, it cannot be decided presently whether these substances effect cell-mediated immune reactions and/or unspecific mechanisms of resistance. When estradiol (20, 200, and 500 mg) and trenbolone acetate (140, 1400, 3500 mg) alone and in combination were implanted in female calves, blood glucose, GOT, GPT, alkaline phosphatase, LDH, cholesterine and bilirubine; Hb, PVC, quick value; urine density and pH were not affected by treatment. Some criteria of the mineral metabolism (Ca- and P-levels in serum and bone) was not altered by treatment. Trenbolone (1 400 and 3 500 mg), especially with estradiol, caused a decrease of the serum Mg-level and of the Mg-deposition in the bone. It is discussed that Trenbolone affects the dig-metabolism of calves. Some morphological findings are worth mentioning. The weight of uterus was not affected by the different doses of E or T, but a combination E + T led to a surprising weight increase. The proliferation of uterine glandular cells was responsible for the increased uterine size. The lumen of uterus was partially filled with a watery liquid. The reduction of the ovarian weight was accompanied by a diminution of follicular size for all treated calves, most evident for E (200, 500 mg) + T (1400, 3500 mg). A decrease in the number of follicles was also found for these two groups. T (3500 mg) caused an abnormal size of the clitoris and led to a reduction of the size of thymus.

Commercial feed mixture was buffered with a 2% and 3% admixture of bentonite buffer in two beef cattle herds in the course of one year. The mixtures were fed on a continuous basis. The two-per-cent buffer concentration was tested in 110 test animals with 104 control animals and the three-per-cent concentration in 50 test animals with 50 controls. Throughout the trial the over-all health condition remained unchanged, the hematocrit and hemoglobin values were balanced in both groups. The biochemical indices were better in the test groups: hypocalcemia improved (in the controls it grew worse), magnesiemia was slightly increased, the inorganic serum factor did not go beyond physiological limits, and acidosis did not occur (as distinct from the control animals). The levels of transaminases (GOT, GPT), glutamic acid dehydrogenase, total serum protein, alkaline phosphatase as well as ammonia and urea in blood serum were at physiological values with po-differences within groups. In the case of the three-per-cent buffer concentration the daily gains were higher by 0.073 kg, and in the two-per-cent concentration by 0.058 kg, in the test animals. The average annual gain was higher by 25.5 kg, and by 18.3 kg, respectively. With respect to the price of buffer and to the efficiency of the animals tested, the economic indices of feed mixture buffering are highly effective.

The paper described the findings of the activity of aspartate amino transferase (GOT) and alanine amino transferase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and aldolase in the blood serum of calves examined for white-muscle disease (WMD). Relapsing mass accurrence of the disease was reported from various agricultural enterprises where calves were fed a milk replacer without vitamin E. In comparison with clinically healthy calves fed a feed mixture with vitamin E, calves suffering from the clinical form of WMD showed an alkaline phosphatase level decrease from 32.3 +/- 7.6 u. K. A. to 15.1 +/- 8.2 u. K. A. On the other hand, the activites of ALD, GOT, GPT, and LDH showed a statistically significant increase. The acute and sub-acute course of the disease increased enzyme activities as follows: ALD from 4.2 +/- 1.1 mumol (= 70.0 +/- 17.0 i.u.) to 9.7 +/- 2.1 mumol (= 163.0 +/- 33.2 i. u.), GOT from 0.9 +/-0.5 mumol (= 68.0 +/- 5.8 i.u.) to 16.7 +/- 11.7 mumol (= 567.0 +/-40.0 i. u.) GPT from 0.2 +/- 0.8 mumol (= 5.0 +/- 12.4 i. u.) to 9.8 +/- 2.8 mumol (= 330.0 +/- 40.4 i.u.), LDH from 46.1 +/- 5.4 mumol (= 765.0 +/- 40.0 i.u.) to 72.7 +/- 24.3 mumol (= 1,207.0 +/- 403.0 i.u.). In WMD-affected herds, similar enzyme activity fluctuations were observed even in calves showing no clinical signs of the disease. It follows from the study that the examination of serum enzymes provides a method to demonstrate the clinical and pre-clinical forms of white-muscle disease and that it can be included in the set of tests for the diagnosis of diseases in calves. The significant differences in all calves in the affected herds show that the disease is a danger to all animals in the herd fed a deficient mixture.

A trial was performed in 204 healthy calves (heifers) of the Bohemian Spotted breed in the post-natal period from birth to the age of four months. The activities of the following enzymes in blood plasma were determined: L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate: aminotransferase, EC.2.6.1.1. (GOT), L-alanine: oxoglutarate: aminotransferase, EC.2.6.1.2. (GPT), L-lactate: NAD oxidoreductase, EC.1.1.1.27 (LDH), and orthophosphoric acid monoester phosphohydrolase, EC.3.1.3.1. (alkaline phosphatase). The calves were divided into age categories according to the date of birth with an interval of one week. GOT activity in blood plasma increased significantly until the age of eight weeks (from the original value of 1.1708 +/- 0.2598 micronmol ml-1 to 1.8150 +/- 0.6362 micronmol ml-1, with the maximum of 2.0317 +/- 0.7777 micronmol ml-1 of plasma in the sixth week). In the subsequent period the GOT curve has not a characteristic course. While the activity of GOT increased in the first weeks after birth, the activity of GPT showed a significant drop (from the original level of 0.9000 +/- 0.3364 micronmol ml-1 to the minimum of 0.3675 +/- 0.1901 micronmol ml-1 of plasma in the seventh week); from the 10th week on the values rise so that at the end of the period of study they reach almost the same levels as in calves in the first postnatal week. The activity of LDH in blood plasma remains at almost the same level in the first five weeks after birth (between 43.4025 +/- 8.4893 micronmol ml-1 and 46.3792 +/- 14.8952 micronmol ml-1 of plasma); it was at a statistically significantly higher level only in a short period between the 7th and 10th week after birth. The highest values of alkaline phosphatase in blood plasma were recorded at the age of two or three weeks (maximum in the second week 23.9833 +/- 9.0945 micronmol ml-1 of plasma); from the fourth week on, the values of alkaline phosphatase are significantly lower until the end of the test period, ranging betweek 5.3133 +/- 1.6017 micronmol ml-1 and 7.5425 +/- 2.2437 micronmol ml-1 of plasma. Changes conditioned by postnatal development were observed in the development of all the enzymatic activities under study, the greatest changes being observed in alkaline phosphatase.
