Age Trends

Body density was determined in 151 normal boys and girls 9–17 years old by hydrostatic weighing and simultaneous determination of residual lung volume by the nitrogen dilution method. Also, 56 obese children 9–15 years old were studied. Body composition changed characteristically in the groups of normal children. In boys, density at 9 years was 1.062 (S.E. = 0.003) and fell to 1.048 (S.E. = 0.004) at 11–13 years; it rose to 1.073 (S.E. = 0.002) at 16, indicating a relative decrease in fat content and increased development of lean body mass. In girls, values were more stable-1.041–1.042 (S.E. = 0.003–0.004) on the average, except in the year 13–14 when body density increased to 1.051 (S.E. = 0.004). After the start of clinical puberty, body density again fell to 1.038 (S.E. = 0.003) indicating increased fat content. There was significant sexual difference in body density before the beginning of prepuberal acceleration of growth and later with the start of clinical puberty. Body density for obese boys 9–12 years old was 1.010 (S.E. = 0.002) and for obese girls of the same age 1.009 (S.E. = 0.002). In 13–15-year-old obese boys, density was 1.016 (S.E. = 0.003) and for girls was 1.012 (S.E. = 0.0039); i.e. in obese children no sex or age differences in body density were found.

Mentally Retarded Children

This study attempts to evaluate the performance of 15 mentally retarded children on the TMI-Grolier Time Telling Program presented on a teaching machine. The experimental design was pretest, training, posttest. Results indicated an increase in gain scores which ranged from two to 11 on the posttest for all subjects. Little relationship was evident between the gain scores on time telling and achievement or IQ. The findings suggested that mentally retarded subjects can profit from a teaching machine program written for normal children. The primary advantage seemed to be in rapid determination of problems involved in learning the task. Perceptual ability may be a factor in successful performance of subjects.

ABSTRACT A description is given of a method for paper chromatographic separation and spectrophotometric determination of urinary tetrahydroaldosterone (3α,11β,21-trihydroxy-5β-pregnan-20-on-18-al). Commercially available tritiated tetrahydroaldosterone was used for localization on paper throughout the procedure. Quantitation was performed after blue tetrazolium reaction using deoxycorticosterone acetate as standard. The coefficient of variation of duplicates was 12 per cent. In normal adult subjects, on a free diet and with no restrictions in physical activity, the urinary tetrahydroaldosterone averaged 33 μg/24 h, range 3–70 μg/24 h. On a diet with 110 mEq. sodium per 24 h and ordinary hospital regimen, the mean value was 31 μg/24 h, range 11–59 μg/24 h. In normal children up to the age of 3 years, the urinary tetrahydroaldosterone averaged 10 μg/24 h, range 0–29 μg/24 h. In the age group 3–14 years, the mean excretion was 20 μg/24 h, range 8–43 μg/24 h. During sodium restriction, a 2–3 fold increase in urinary tetrahydroaldosterone was observed in normal subjects. In patients with adrenal insufficiency, the values were below 9 μg/24 h, and in four patients with Conn's syndrome, the excretion of tetrahydroaldosterone was 72–284 μg/24 h. The method was found suitable for routine clinical use.

Radioisotope renograms with orthoiodohippurate-I131 were obtained for 41 children who had known renal or renovascular disorders. (Two patients had hypertension but no evidence of renal disease.) Values determined for various components of the renogram curves were considered abnormal when they exceeded two standard deviations from the mean values for normal children of similar body surface area or when time B (from injection to the point of maximal radioactivity) exceeded 6.5 minutes or differed from the contralateral kidney by more than 1 minute. The renogram was clearly abnormal in all 17 patients who had unilateral or predominantly unilateral renal disorders. Abnormalities associated with bilateral renal disorders varied with the disease and its severity. The clinical severity of impairment of renal function could be estimated from the renogram. The isotope renogram proved to be a simple, reproducible technique for determination of function of the separate kidneys.
