    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wiederholte ambulante Plasmacortisolbestimmungen bei einer Patientin mit deutlichen klinischen Zeichen des Hyperkortizismus ergaben mit 16–24 µg/100 ml normale Werte. Erst ein unter standardisierten Bedingungen erstelltes Plasmacortisol-Tagesprofil erbrachte den eindeutigen Nachweis der Hypercortisolämie. Im Vergleich zu gesunden Normalpersonen liegen die Plasmacortisolspiegel der Cushing-Patientin auf einer höheren Ebene. Die physiologischen Phasen ruhender Cortisolsekretion in den Abend- und Nachtstunden fehlen. Wie bei Gesunden können wir bei diesem Fall von Hypercortic ismus, beruhend auf bilateraler Nebennierenrinden-Hyperplasie, große Schwankungen des Plasmacortisolspiegels beobachten. Der Wert wiederholter Plasmacortisolbestimmungen in der Abklärung des Cushing-Syndroms wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary In a patient with typical features of Cushing's disease, repeated ambulant determinations of plasma cortisol showed normal values with 16 to 24 µg/100 ml. The entire analysis of the circadian variations of plasma cortisol under standardized conditions led to the diagnosis of hypercorticism. Compared with 2 healthy subjects the patient's curve is set at a higher level. Physiological, quiet periods of cortisol secretion in late day-time do not occur. In accord to the normal, we find great variations of plasma cortisol in this case of Cushing's syndrome due to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. The diagnostic value of plasma cortisol determinations at short term intervals in differentiating the various forms of hypercorticism is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In three patients with diabetes and hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism changes in renin activity, plasma aldosterone and cortisol were examined under various conditions: orthostasis and intravenous furosemide, infusion of synthetic β1–24 ACTH on two consecutive days and diurnal variations in basal hormone fluctuations. Each patient showed unmeasurably low renin activity unresponsive to orthostasis and intravenous furosemide while plasma aldosterone was below normal range. Under ACTH-infusion only marked increases in aldosterone were observed in one patient whereas cortisol responded normally in all diabetics tested. Analysis of diurnal night day fluctuations (20.00–8.00) in plasma aldosterone and cortisol revealed a close and statistically significant relationship between both hormones in each of the three patients (p〈0.05–〈0.001). Variations in plasma aldosterone thus were mediated through changes in endogenous pituitary ACTH. Compared with normal controls however, diurnal aldosterone curves were set at a lower level. Our results demonstrate that a reduced sensitivity of the adrenal gland to ACTH is not responsible for the observed subnormal plasma aldosterone levels in these patients. Therefore, the lack of circulating angiotensin II seems to be the causative reason of hypoaldosteronism. The exact mechanism of undetectable renin activity in these patients remains unknown.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei drei Patienten mit Diabetes mellitus und hyporeninämischem Hypoaldosteronismus wurden Veränderungen der Plasmareninaktivität, des Plasmaaldosteron- und Plasmacortisolspiegels unter folgenden Bedingungen geprüft: Orthostase und intravenöse Furosemidapplikation, Infusion von synthetischem β1–24 ACTH an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen, Tag-Nacht-Rhythmus der basalen Hormonplasmaspiegel. Alle Patienten zeigten eine nicht meßbare und durch Orthostase und Furosemid nicht stimulierbare Reninaktivität. Gleichzeitig wurden subnormale Aldosteronplasmakonzentrationen gemessen. Unter ACTH-Infusion zeigte nur ein Patient einen deutlichen Anstieg des Plasmaaldosterons, während das Plasmacortisol in allen drei Fällen normal stimulierbar war. Die statistische Analyse der Tag-Nacht-Schwankungen von Plasmaaldosteron und Plasmacortisol zeigte in jedem der Fälle eine enge und statistisch signifikante Beziehung zwischen beiden Hormonen (p〈0,05–〈0,001). Es ist somit anzunehmen, daß Schwankungen des Plasmaaldosterons durch Veränderungen der hypophysären ACTH-Ausschüttung verursacht wurden. Jedoch war im Vergleich zu Normalpersonen die Rhythmik des basalen Plasmaaldosterons auf einem tieferen Niveau eingestellt. Unsere Ergebnisse lassen den Schluß zu, daß bei diesen Patienten nicht eine verminderte Sensitivität der Nebennierenrinde auf ACTH für die beobachteten subnormalen Aldosteronspiegel verantwortlich ist. Ursache für den Hypoaldosteronismus scheint somit der Mangel an zirkulierendem Angiotensin II zu sein. Der genaue Mechanismus der nicht meßbaren Reninaktivität bei diesem Patienten bleibt unbekannt.

    Notes: Summary The Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Technique (IFAT) and the Indirect Immuno Peroxidase Technique (IIPT) have been applied to cryostat sections and intact stages of the hookworm speciesAncylostoma caninum with sera from infected dogs. Especially the role of the body surface (=cuticle (cortex, matrix, basal layer) and hypodermis) in immunity was studied. Using cryostat sections and dead intact stages as the antigen, specific antibody binding was demonstrated round the ovum membrane and the cuticle of all stages of this hookworm species. Cryostat sections of adult worms showed, that it probably is not the cuticle itself that is antigenic, but that the specific reaction that is observed consisted of a layer, covering the cortex of the cuticle. Infective and parasitic living stages, however, showed no antibody binding in contrast to the free-living stages in which specific antibody binding was demonstrated.
