    Notes: Electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) profiles of Mo/CuInX2/CdS/ZnO thin film solar cells with X=Se, S were recorded at different temperatures. We measure the collection efficiency of cells as a function of the beam energy and subsequently identify the depth dependent collection function. For a CuInS2 based cell, charge collection is maintained by diffusion transport of minority carriers to the junction with an effective diffusion length of 1.3±0.2 μm. This value is independent on temperature between 123 and 373 K. A CuInSe2 based cell exhibits increased collection of charge carriers created at the back contact on decreasing temperature. The temperature variation of the EBIC profiles is discussed considering the effect of bulk and grain boundary recombination. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A considerable number of patients with cardiovascular diseases suffer from advanced heart failure. Actuarial 6–12 month survival of such patients is reduced to 50–75%. Since introduction of triple immunosuppression including cyclosporine, azathioprine and corticosteroids heart transplantation has been established as treatment of choice for patients with advanced heart failure refractory to medical treatment. However, the increasing imbalance between demand and supply of suitable donor organs limits the number of patients for this therapeutic option and requires a more restrictive listing of patients for heart transplantation. During the last few years promising new conservativ and alternativ surgical therapies have been developed. The conservativ medical therapy was improved by application of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and anticongestive betablockers. Alternativ surgical therapies of advanced heart failure include high risk bypass surgery, high risk valve surgery, mechanical assist devices, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, partial left ventriculectomy, cardiomyoplasty and multisite-pacing. They serve as bridge to transplantation or medium- and long-term alternatives to heart transplantation. The therapeutic success is determined by adequate selection of patients for the respective therapy. This requires the implementation of risk scores on the basis of national and international registries of patients with advanced heart failure.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die fortgeschrittene Herzinsuffiziens gewinnt mit einer Prävalenz von 0,1% eine zunehmende Bedeutung innerhalb des Patientenkollektivs mit kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen. Die 6- bis 12-Monats-Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit ist mit 50–75% erheblich eingeschränkt. Seit der Einführung der Triple-Immunsuppression mit Cyclosporin, Azathioprin und Cortison galt die Herztransplantation als die Therapie der Wahl bei medikamentös therapierefraktärer Herzinsuffizienz. Das wachsende Mißverhältnis zwischen Angebot und Bedarf an geeigneten Spenderorganen limitiert jedoch die Zahl der Patienten, die transplantiert werden können, und erfordert eine restriktivere Listung zur Herztransplantation. In den zurückliegenden Jahren haben sich vielversprechende neue konservative und alternative chirurgische Therapieansätze entwickelt. Die konventionelle medikamentöse Therapie wurde verbessert durch den Einsatz von Angiotensin-Konversionsenzym-Hemmern und antikongestiv wirksamen Betablockern. Die chirurgische Therapie der fortgeschrittenen Herzinsuffizienz ist erweitert worden durch die Einführung von Hochrisiko-Bypassoperation, Hochrisiko-Klappenchirurgie, mechanische Assistenzherzen, implantierbare Cardioverter-Defibrillatoren, Ventrikelreduktionsplastik, Kardiomyoplastie und Multisite-Pacing. Diese Therapieoptionen werden entweder als Überbrückungsmaßnahme oder als mittel- und langfristige Alternativen zur Herztransplantation eingesetzt. Der Behandlungserfolg hängt entscheidend ab von der Selektion geeigneter Patienten für die jeweilige Therapie. Hierfür ist die Erstellung von Risikoscores auf der Basis nationaler und internationaler Patientenregister notwendig.

    Notes: Abstract This article describes the working principles and working procedures of the Commission on Human Biological Monitoring, which was established in 1993 as a joint commission of the Federal Health Office (Bundesgesundheitsamt) and the Federal Environmental Agency (Umweltbundesamt) in Germany. One of the main tasks of the commission is to develop scientifically based criteria for the application of human biological monitoring and for the evaluation of human monitoring data in environmental medicine. In principle, two different kinds of criteria are recommended: (a) reference values and (b) human biological monitoring values (HBM values). Reference values are intended to indicate the upper margin of the current background exposure of the general population to a given environmental toxin at a given time. Reference values can be used to identify subjects with an increased level of exposure (in relation to background exposure) to a given environmental toxin. However, reference values do not represent health-related criteria for the evaluation of human biological monitoring data. HBM values are derived from human toxicology and epidemiology studies and are intended to be used as a basis for a health-related evaluation of human biological monitoring data. Usually the commission recommends two different HBM values: HBM I, the concentration of an environmental toxin in a human biological material (usually blood, serum, plasma, or urine) below which there is – according to the knowledge and judgement of the commission – no risk for adverse health effects in individuals of the general population; and HBM II, the concentration of an environmental toxin in a human biological material (usually blood, serum, plasma, or urine) above which there is – according to the knowledge and judgement of the commission and with regard to the environmental toxin under consideration – an increased risk for adverse health effects in susceptible individuals of the general population. The HBM I value can be considered a kind of alert value (from the toxicological point of view), whereas the HBM II value represents a kind of action level, at which attempts should be undertaken to reduce the level of exposure immediately and to carry out further medical examinations. Values between HBM I and HBM II should be considered a warning signal of the need to control the analytical measurement and to reduce the level of exposure of the concerned individual as reasonably as is achievable. At present, reference and HBM values are available for lead in blood, for cadmium and mercury in blood and urine, and for pentachlorophenol in plasma/serum and urine. Reference values have been established for some polychlorinated biphenyls in blood and plasma as well as for hexachlorocyclohexane and hexacholorobenzene in blood as well as for some organochlorine in human milk.

    Notes: Abstract Investigations of the geometric and electronic properties of ternary Ce-based heavy fermion systems CeT2X2 (T : Ni,Pd,Rh; X : Ge,Si) were carried out by means of electron spectroscopic methods. The main problem for these surface-sensitive techniques is the preparation of well-ordered and atomically clean surfaces. The ternary substance CeNi2Ge2 was grown on a W(110) substrate by MBE with subsequent annealing. A nearly layer-by-layer growth mode was detected using MEED. The annealed layers are ordered, but show small Ni2Ge crystalline islands. The composition was characterised by means of AES in dependence of the substrate as well as the annealing temperature. Electronic properties are investigated by angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.

    Notes: Abstract  Infections remain the major cause of morbidity and mortality among neutropenic cancer patients. The current study addresses the question whether monotherapy with the new broad-spectrum carbapenem meropenem exhibits efficacy comparable to that of the standard combination therapy with ceftazidime and amikacin for empirical treatment of febrile neutropenic patients. Seventy-one patients with hematological malignancies (55%) or solid tumors (45%), neutropenia 〈500/μl, and fever 〈38.5  °C were randomly assigned to either meropenem (1 g every 8 h) or ceftazidime (2 g every 8 h) and amikacin (15 mg/kg/day) intravenously. Meropenem (n=34) and ceftazidime/amikacin (n=37) were equivalent with respect to the clinical response at 72 h (62% versus 68%) (p〈0.05) and at the end of unmodified therapy (59% versus 62%). Gram-positive bacteremia responded poorly in the meropenem and ceftazidime/amikacin group (29% versus 25%), whereas all gram-negative bacteremias responded except for one in the meropenem group caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All patients survived to 72 h. One patient in each group died of gram-positive sepsis resistant to study medication. No significant side effects occurred in any regimen. This study suggests that meropenem monotherapy might be as effective as combination therapy with ceftazidime and amikacin for the empirical treatment of febrile neutropenic patients.

    Notes: Abstract Over the last 17 years, 83 cases of polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (PPBL) have been published. This rare hematological disorder of unknown etiology is characterized by morphologically atypical lymphocytes, polyclonal immunoglobulin M production in association with smoking, female gender, and HLA-DR7 phenotype. We studied another male patient with PPBL. In contrast to normal B-cells, PPBL cells showed no response to interleukin-4 with regard to CD23 and human leukocyte antigen-DR expression. F2μ antibodies failed to co-stimulate interleukin-4-mediated CD23 expression. Crosslinking membrane immunoglobulin M receptors by F2μ resulted in elevated human leukocyte antigen-DR expression but did not induce in vitro proliferation of PPBL cells. This indicates a different activation and differentiation status than normal B-cells.

    Notes: Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been shown to be an inducer of the acute-phase response (APR) and to be involved in the pathogenesis of several disease states, including graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). As blood cells of the monocyte lineage are known to be major producers of this cytokine, we wondered whether extreme peripheral leukopenia following total ablation of hematopoiesis could compromise IL-6 production during the first days after allogeneic or autologous BMT. In the absence of detectable circulating leukocytes we measured elevated IL-6 levels in six children having fever (≥38° C) of presumed infectious origin with an average of 74±60 units/ml (range 19–309 units/ml). IL-6 levels in febrile children having a normal hematopoiesis (118±254 units/ml, range 17–1213 units/ml) were not significantly higher than those found in the febrile BMT group (p〉0.05). Moreover, there was a clear association between elevated IL-6 levels and the presence of fever. C-reactive protein (CRP) was also elevated (≥1 mg/dl), whereas tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF) was undetectable (〈1 pg/ml). Two transplanted patients without fever during the period of total aplasia had neither detectable CRP nor IL-6, thus demonstrating that the transplant procedure itself does not induce an APR. Our data obtained during maximal leukopenia following BMT show that a functional hematopoietic system is not necessary for regular production of IL-6, which is associated with fever. Cells of nonhematopoietic origin may contribute to this production.
