    Notes: Abstract Background: Simultaneous dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and99mTc-MIBI-SPET (DMS) for the evaluation of the presence and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) were assessed for a head to head comparison regarding the diagnostic accuracy of the two tests. Methods and Results: Forty-five consecutive patients (33 males and 12 females: 53±6.8 yr.) underwent exercise electrocardiography and simultaneous dobutamine stress echocardiography and MIBI-SPET imaging. Coronary angiography was performed in all patients (significant coronary stenosis 〉 50%). On the basis of the results of exercise electrocardiogram the pre-test probability for coronary artery disease (Diamond's algorithm) was low (45.6±12.7 %). The overall specificity, sensitivity and predictive accuracy of Echo-dobutamine stress test for diagnosis of the presence or absence of CAD were: specificity 82%, sensitivity 76%, diagnostic accuracy 80%, positive predictive value 90%, negative predictive value 40%. The overall specificity, sensitivity and predictive accuracy of MIBI-SPET-dobutamine test for diagnosis of the presence or absence of CAD were: specificity 86%, sensitivity 87%, diagnostic accuracy 84%, positive predictive value 97%, negative predictive value 54%. MIBI-SPET-dobutamine test showed a significantly higher sensitivity in comparison with ECHO-dobutamine test (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Both noninvasive methods for the detection of CAD showed a good diagnostic accuracy. Nevertheless the SPET model showed an higher sensitivity in comparison with DSE model, essentially in the presence of a lower extent of CAD and during submaximal test.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die physikalischen Eigenschaften von Polymercompositen, die durch Mischung des kristallinen, bioabbaubaren und bioverträglichen Polymers Poly-D( - )(3-hydroxybutyrat) (PHB) mit nichtkristallinem, ataktischen Poly(epichlorhydrin) (PECH) erhalten wurden, werden untersucht. Die durch Eindampfen von Lösungen hergestellten PHB/PECH-Mischungen wurden mit Hilfe von thermomechanischen, röntgenographischen und viskolastischen Messungen sowie durch ihr Festigkeits- und Dehnungsverhalten charakterisiert. Aus den Ergebnissen wurde geschlossen, daß die kristallinen Bereiche des PHB die Rolle von Vernetzungen spielen, während das zwischen den kristallinen Bereichen befindliche amorphe PECH als Weichmacher wirkt. Ein einfacher dynamischer Verlustmodul, der der Glasübergangstemperatur entspricht, weist auf die Mischbarkeit des kristallinen PHB mit dem amorphen PECH hin.
    Notes: Physical properties of a new polymer blend obtained by mixing poly-D( - )(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a crystalline polymer with interesting properties of biodegradability and biocompatibility, with uncrystallizable atactic poly(epichlorohydrin) (PECH) were studied. PHB/PECH blends, obtained by casting solution, were analysed by thermomechanical and X-ray analysis, viscoelastic measurements, and on the basis of strength and elongation measurements. It was concluded that the crystalline region of PHB plays an important role of crosslinks, and amorphous PECH filled between the crystalline regions plays a role of plasticizer. A single dynamic loss modulus, corresponding to the glass transition temperature, implies the miscibility between crystalline PHB and amorphous PECH.
