X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare genetic disorder of peroxisomal metabolism and is one of the causes of primary adrenal insufficiency. X-ALD is also associated with various neurological manifestations, however the endocrine features may precede neurological symptoms. As it is rare to have two endocrinological conditions with X-ALD, here we present a unique case of a child with confirmed X-ALD and concurrent Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).

Mitochondrial alterations were studied in 25 liver biopsies from patients with alcoholic liver disease. Of special interest were the morphologic resemblance of certain fine structural variations in mitochondria and crystalloid inclusions. Four types of alterations within mitochondria were found that seemed to relate to cytoplasmic crystalloids.Type 1 alteration consisted of localized groups of cristae, usually oriented in the long direction of the organelle (Fig. 1A). In this plane they appeared serrated at the periphery with blind endings in the matrix. Other sections revealed a system of equally-spaced diagonal lines lengthwise in the mitochondrion with cristae protruding from both ends (Fig. 1B). Profiles of this inclusion were not unlike tangential cuts of a crystalloid structure frequently seen in enlarged mitochondria described below.

In zirconium-hydrogen alloys, rapid cooling from an elevated temperature causes precipitation of the face-centred tetragonal (fct) phase, γZrH, in the form of needles, parallel to the close-packed <1120>zr directions (1). With low hydrogen concentrations, the hydride solvus is sufficiently low that zirconium atom diffusion cannot occur. For example, with 6 μg/g hydrogen, the solvus temperature is approximately 370 K (2), at which only the hydrogen diffuses readily. Shears are therefore necessary to produce the crystallographic transformation from hexagonal close-packed (hep) zirconium to fct hydride.The simplest mechanism for the transformation is the passage of Shockley partial dislocations having Burgers vectors (b) of the type 1/3<0110> on every second (0001)Zr plane. If the partial dislocations are in the form of loops with the same b, the crosssection of a hydride precipitate will be as shown in fig.1. A consequence of this type of transformation is that a cumulative shear, S, is produced that leads to a strain field in the surrounding zirconium matrix, as illustrated in fig.2a.

Dislocations in silicon produced by plastic deformation are generally dissociated into partials. 60° dislocations (Burgers vector type 1/2[101]) are dissociated into 30°(Burgers vector type 1/6[211]) and 90°(Burgers vector type 1/6[112]) dislocations. The 30° partials may be either of “glide” or “shuffle” type. Lattice images of the 30° dislocation have been obtained with a JEM 100B, and with a JEM 200Cx. In the aforementioned experiments a reasonable but imperfect match was obtained with calculated images for the “glide” model. In the present experiment direct structure images of 30° dislocation cores have been obtained with a JEOL 4000EX. It is possible to deduce the 30° dislocation core structure by direct inspection of the images. Dislocations were produced by compression of single crystal Si (sample preparation technique described in Alexander et al.).
