Chemical composition of clay minerals from ODP Leg 168 sites

The exchangeable cation compositions of organic-poor terrigenous sediments containing smectite as primary ion exchanger from a series of holes along ODP Leg 168 transect on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge have been examined as a function of distance from the ridge axis and burial depth. The total cation exchange capacity (CEC) values of the sediments ranged from 2 to 59 meq/100 g, increasing with increases in the wt.% smectite. At the seafloor, the exchangeable cation compositions involving Na, K, Mg, and Ca, expressed in terms of equivalent fraction, are nearly constant regardless of the different transect sites: XNa = 0.21 ± 0.04, XK = 0.08 ± 0.01, XMg = 0.33 ± 0.09, and XCa = 0.38 ± 0.09. The calculated selectivity coefficients of the corresponding quaternary exchange reactions, calculated using porewater data, are in log units -5.45 ± 0.39 for Na, 1.97 ± 0.49 for K, 0.42 ± 0.41 for Mg, and 3.06 ± 0.69 for Ca. The exchangeable cation compositions below the seafloor change systematically with distance from the ridge crest and burial depth, conforming to the trends of the same cations in the porewaters. The selectivities for Na and Mg are roughly constant at temperatures from 2 to 66°C, indicating that the equivalent fractions of these two cations are independent of sediment alteration taking place on the ridge flank. Unlike Na and Mg, the temperature influence is significant for K and Ca, with Ca-selectivity decreases being coupled with increases in K-selectivity. Although potentially related to diagenetic and/or hydrothermal mineral precipitation or recrystallization, no evidence of such alteration was detected by XRD and TEM. In sites where upwelling of hydrothermal fluids from basement is occurring, the K-selectivity of the sediment is appreciably higher than at the other sites and corresponds to the formation of (Fe, Mg) rich smectite and zeolites. Our study indicates that local increases in K-selectivity at hydrothermal sites are caused by the formation of these authigenic minerals.

Chemistry and age determination of basement fluids from Juan de Fuca Ridge

The geochemical implications of thermally driven flow of seawater through oceanic crust on the mid-ocean ridge flank have been examined on a well-studied 80 km transect across the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge at 48°N, using porewater and basement fluid samples obtained on ODP Leg 168. Fluid flow is recognised by near-basement reversals in porewater concentration gradients from altered values in the sediment section to seawater-like values in basaltic basement. In general, the basement fluids become more geochemically evolved with distance from the ridge and broadly follow basement temperature which ranges from not, vert, similar16° to 63°C. Although thermal effects of advective heat exchange are only seen within 20 km east of where basement is exposed near the ridge crest, chemical reactivity extends to all sites. Seawater passing through oceanic crust has reacted with basement rocks leading to increases in Ca2+ and decreases in alkalinity, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO42- and delta18O. Sr isotope exchange between seawater and oceanic crust off axis is unequivocally demonstrated with endmember 87Sr/86Sr ~ 0.707. Evidence of more evolved fluids is seen at sites where rapid upwelling of fluids through sediments occurs. Chlorinities of the basement fluids are consistent with post-glacial seawater and thus a short residence time in the crust. Rates of lateral flow have been by estimated by modelling porewater sulphate gradients, using Cl as a glacial chronometer, and from radiocarbon dating of basal fluids. All three methods reveal fluid flow with 14C ages less than 10,000 yr and particle velocities of ~1-5 m/yr, in agreement with thermally constrained volumetric flow rates through a ~600 m thick permeable layer of ~10% porosity. Delta(element)/Delta(heat) extraction ratios are similar to values for ridge-crest hydrothermal systems.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 168]

A Mesa da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) alerta o governo sobre a necessidade de responder os pedidos de informação dos parlamentares sobre atos administrativos. O Deputado Amaury Muller (PDT-RS) cobra do governo a resposta ao pedido de informação que fez há cinco meses. José Reinaldo Tavares, Ministro dos Transportes, explica a demora na resposta aos pedidos de informação. Parlamentares afirmam que o silêncio do Poder Executivo pode atrapalhar os trabalhos da Constituinte. O Deputado Nelton Friedrich (PMDB-PR) declara que, num momento em que se desejam mudanças profundas e a volta das prerrogativas do Poder Legislativo, não é possível que o Executivo continue se comportando como no período autoritário. O Deputado Ruy Nedel (PMDB-RS) afirma que os membros da Constituinte precisam de dados do governo para que possam ter mais base de sustentação nos seus argumentos em matéria constitucional. Em Plenário, constituintes discutem o sistema de governo. O Deputado Bonifácio de Andrada (PDS-MG) é a favor do parlamentarismo por ser o sistema do diálogo e da responsabilidade política, enquanto que o presidencialismo é o regime do monólogo e da irresponsabilidade política. Para o Deputado Vivaldo Barbosa (PDT-RJ) a melhor forma no Brasil de hoje é o presidencialismo, no sentido de buscar a democracia e uma sociedade mais justa. Na sessão O Povo Pergunta, cidadã quer saber o que está sendo feito para acabar com a dívida externa. O Deputado Raimundo Bezerra (PMDB-CE) responde que está sendo feita uma auditoria da dívida externa do Brasil.

Cross-sectional study of 168 patients with hepatorenal tyrosinaemia and implications for clinical practice

Background: Hepatorenal tyrosinaemia (Tyr 1) is a rare inborn error of tyrosine metabolism. Without treatment, patients are at high risk of developing acute liver failure, renal dysfunction and in the long run hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of our study was to collect cross-sectional data. Methods. Via questionnaires we collected retrospective data of 168 patients with Tyr 1 from 21 centres (Europe, Turkey and Israel) about diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and outcome. In a subsequent consensus workshop, we discussed data and clinical implications. Results: Early treatment by NTBC accompanied by diet is essential to prevent serious complications such as liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma and renal disease. As patients may remain initially asymptomatic or develop uncharacteristic clinical symptoms in the first months of life newborn mass screening using succinylacetone (SA) as a screening parameter in dried blood is mandatory for early diagnosis. NTBC-treatment has to be combined with natural protein restriction supplemented with essential amino acids. NTBC dosage should be reduced to the minimal dose allowing metabolic control, once daily dosing may be an option in older children and adults in order to increase compliance. Metabolic control is judged by SA (below detection limit) in dried blood or urine, plasma tyrosine (<400 μM) and NTBC-levels in the therapeutic range (20-40 μM). Side effects of NTBC are mild and often transient. Indications for liver transplantation are hepatocellular carcinoma or failure to respond to NTBC. Follow-up procedures should include liver and kidney function tests, tumor markers and imaging, ophthalmological examination, blood count, psychomotor and intelligence testing as well as therapeutic monitoring (SA, tyrosine, NTBC in blood). Conclusion: Based on the data from 21 centres treating 168 patients we were able to characterize current practice and clinical experience in Tyr 1. This information could form the basis for clinical practice recommendations, however further prospective data are required to underpin some of the recommendations.
