Middle meatal samples were obtained from 52 carefully selected healthy adults. In 75 per cent of the test subjects bacterial organisms were cultured. However, growth was often poor and the predominant species suggest a commensal flora: coagulase-negative staphylococci were retrieved from 35 per cent, Corynebacterium sp. from 23 per cent and Staphyloccus aureus from eight per cent of the adults. These data are very different from those previously obtained among children where – even in the absence of obvious ENT pathology – the most frequently cultured organisms were typical sinusitis pathogens: Haemophilus influenzae present in 40 per cent, Moraxella catarrhalis in 34 per cent and Streptococcus pneumoniae in 50 per cent of children. Furthermore, Streptococcus viridans and Neisseria sp., both organisms that might be able to inhibit colonization by some of the pathogens and found commonly among children, are virtually absent in healthy adults.

Chemotactic Ability

Volumetrically distinct subpopulations of peripheral blood monocytes, termed M1, M2, and M3, were identified in healthy normal adults and children. Because normal neonates have abnormal monocyte chemotaxis, it was determined whether monocyte subpopulations have different chemotactic capabilities and, if so, whether chemotactically active subpopulations were quantitatively deficient in neonates. Chemotaxis tests with zymosan-activated normal human serum as the chemoattractant and purified monocyte subpopulations revealed that large M3 monocytes were capable of significantly more directed migration than were small M1 and M2 monocytes. Volumetric analysis of monocytes from normal newborns rather than demonstrating an absence of M3 cells revealed that these cells were the predominant monocyte subpopulation. Therefore, we conclude that the impaired chemotactic ability of newborn monocytes is due to a functional rather than quantitative deficiency of M3 cells.

Abstract. In normal adults, repeated GHRH administration leads to progressively decreasing somatotrope responses. To verify whether this GH secretory pattern also connotes normal growing children, we have studied the effects of two consecutive (every 120 min) 1 μg/kg iv GHRH boluses on GH release in normal adults (N = 7, age 23.2–30.6 years) children (N = 6, age 10.4–13.2 years). In the adults, the GH response to the second GHRH bolus (peak, mean ± sem: 2.9 ± 0.8 μg/l) was lower (P< 0.02) than that to the first bolus (15.9 ± 2.4 μg/l). Conversely, in children the GH response to the second GHRH bolus (25.6 ± 6.3 μg/l) overrode the first one (13.6 ± 6.5 μg/l), but this difference did not attain statistical significance. In adults cholinergic enhancement by pyridostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, was previously shown to re-instate, even to potentiate somatotrope responsiveness to consecutive GHRH boluses. Thus, in 5 children GH response to repeated GHRH boluses was retested administering pyridostigmine (60 mg orally) 30 min before the second GHRH bolus. In these subjects, pyridostigmine failed significantly to potentiate the GH responsiveness to the second GHRH bolus (30.3 ± 4.6 vs 25.0 ± 7.6 μg/l). These data indicate that differently from in adults, in children repeated GHRH administration does not reduce somatotrope responsiveness and that cholinergic enhancement fails to potentiate GH responsiveness to the second GHRH bolus.
