SummaryThe authors compared the oxygen consumption in platelets from the umbilical cord blood of 36 healthy newborn infants with that of 27 adult subjects, before and after thrombin addition (1.67 U/ml). Oxygen consumption at rest was 6 mμmol/109/min in adult control platelets and 5.26 in newborn infants. The burst in oxygen consumption after thrombin addition was 26.30 mμmol/109/min in adults and 24.90 in infants. Dinitrophenol did not inhibit the burst of O2 consumption in platelets in 8 out of 10 newborn infants, while the same concentration caused a decrease in 9 out of 10 adult subjects. Deoxyglucose inhibited the burst in O2 consumption in newborn infant and adult platelets by about 50%. KCN at the concentration of 10−4 M completely inhibited basal oxygen consumption but did not completely inhibit the burst after thrombin. At the concentration of 10−3 M, it inhibited both basal O2 consumption and the burst in infants and adult subjects.

A healthy newborn infant acquired a substantial body burden of mercury by inhaling mercury vapor originating from a broken mercury expansion switch in the heating unit of an infant incubator. Highly toxic mercury vapor is produced in quantity by heating otherwise harmless metallic mercury. Switches and thermometers that contain mercury should be removed from infant incubators.

The Shwachman test was carried out on 30 healthy newborn infants, including premature infants. The results were negative in 28 cases on the first day, but positive in all cases on the 4th. As it is known that normally the newborn infant, even when premature, possesses duodenal trypsin, the absence of same in the meconium indicates that it may be destroyed by intestinal stagnation. This means that the assay of fecal trypsin is of no use for the precocious diagnosis (within the four first days of life) of mucoviscidosis or cystic fibrosis of the pancreas.

AbstractObjective: Three plasmids from Lactobacillus paracasei 54 were isolated from healthy newborn infant fecal samples.Methods: Plasmid was extracted using an AxyPrep Plasmid Miniprep Kit and lysozyme. The extracted plasmids were sequenced using a Roche 454 Genome Sequencer FLX.Results: Three plasmids were isolated from Lactobacillus paracasei 54. These plasmids are designated pLP5401- 03, and they are 9754, 6650, and 1788 bp in size.Conclusion: Plasmids pLP5401 and pLP5402 were found to contain replication genes that are likely to function via the theta-type mechanism. Plasmid pLP5403 is predicted to replicate via the rolling-circle replication (RCR) mechanism. The RCR replication plasmid can be applied as a useful vector in the food industry
