In the former report on he calcium requirement in Small-for Date (S-f-D) infants it was observed that the ability of calcium absorption of S-f-D infants is lowered in 1-st semester of life. From this point of view it seemed purposeful to study the influence of 3 modified cow's milk formulas (see table) on the calcium absorption in S-f-D infants. Modification of these diets in regard to cow's milk depended on: 1) partial replacement of cow's milk fat with soya oil. 2) change of the proportion between fat and protein. 3) partial replacement of milk casein with lactoalbumin . The infants were divided into 3 groups G, H and C according to the kind of diet. Observation in the first 2 groups lasted for the whole first year of life, C group of infants was observed only in 1-st half year of life. In the first month of life G and H infants were fed the same unmodified cow's milk formulas (diet S) 3-day balance-studies. Were carried out once a month. The data of these 3 groups of infants were compared with each other and the data of S-f-D infants fed unmodified cow's milk formulas (group S) described in he former report. In group S, calcium intake was the highest in 1-st and in 2-nd semester of life among all compared infant groups, but the difference was not statistically significant. The lowest (%) absorption was noted in group G infants (fig. 2, table III and IV). The difference was statistically significant in 1-st semester of life between group G and S and in 2-nd semester between G and S as well as G and H groups. Calcium retention mg/kg was also the lowest in group G infants, and the difference was statistically significant in 1-st and in 2-nd semester between G and S groups. The infants fed H formula in spite of the lowest indices of calcium absorption % and retention mg/kg in the first (see table) and the second month of life and in spite of the lowest intake of calcium among all compared infants groups cough up absorption (%) and retention (mg/kg b.w.) with groups S in 2 semester of life.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Experimental modeling of the process of variation of the pertussis causative agent grown on the casein-carbon agar medium with subtoxic doses of the widely used antibiotics was performed. Significant changes in the morphological, cultural and serological properties of the pertussis microbe, in its sensitivity to the antibiotics and bacteriocins, in the activity of glutamine synthetase and in the electrophoretic mobility of the protein components were shown. The antigen structure determined with the method of immune electrophoresis in the agar gel and the biochemical properties were the stable characteristics defining the population taxonomic position as Bordetella pertussis. Possible occurrence of atypical strains of the pertussis causative agent in the patients with the cough syndrome treated with the antibiotics is indicated. It is suggested that antibiotics may play a significant role in redistribution of subpopulations with different functional properties in the population of the pertussis microbe.

Preliminary data from farm herds fed excessive dietary iodide and displaying signs of iodism indicated hyperglycemia, hypocholesterolemia, and a neutrophilic-lymphopenic shift in blood leukocytes. Subsequently blood, milk, and urine were analyzed from 90 cows in 10 herds fed normal (average 16 mg/cow daily) or high (average 164 mg) iodide as ethylenediamine dihydriodide for prophylactic purposes and from one herd fed iodinated casein for 3 wk. Glucose, area nitrogen, and neutrophils were higher while cholesterol and lymphocytes were lower in blood from cows fed high iodide. Milk iodide averaged .37 +/- .03 ppm from normal and 2.16 +/- .25 from herds fed high iodide. Neutrophils, glucose, protein, and globulin of serum increased while lymphocytes, cholesterol, and thyroxine decreased as iodide in milk and urine increased. Signs of iodism included lacrimation, coryza, conjunctivitis, coughing, hair loss, and exophthalmus. These findings corroborate other reports that excessive iodide alters metabolism and is toxic to immune mechanisms, suggesting that dietary iodide should be limited to nutritional requirements and prolonged prophylactic or therapeutic use should be avoided.

We report on a baby food, cereal flour P (CFP), which, although guaranteed free of cow's milk protein, caused failure to thrive and diarrhea, vomiting, and coughing fits in a 22-month-old child. The purpose of this study was to identify the allergen involved. The investigation used prick tests, RAST, and the RAST inhibition method. Specific IgE was elevated to 100 kU/l for cow's milk and to 15.3 kU/l for alpha-lactalbumin (2.5 kU/l for casein, 0.7 kU/l for beta-lactoglobulin). Antibovine IgG IgEs were associated. RAST inhibition experiments demonstrated the presence of alpha-lactalbumin in "food-quality" lactose used in this flour, at a dose of 1-5 micrograms/g of CFP. The daily intake of alpha-lactalbumin was found to be less than 70 micrograms. This exquisite clinical sensitization was attributed to the intestinal hyperpermeability (IH) which favors the access of milk allergen to the blood, leading to an ever-growing state of hypersensitivity. It could have been due to egg- and mustard-associated allergies as well as to giardiasis and intestinal candidosis. This work underlines the risk of masked food allergens and the need of thoroughly informative labeling.
