    Notes: Abstract Anemia is a common complication of autonomic failure and reduced red blood cell mass may contribute to the orthostatic hypotension of these patients. We investigated whether treatment with recombinant erythropoietin improves anemia and increases blood pressure in patients with primary autonomic failure. Three patients with multiple system atrophy and autonomic failure and one with pure autonomic failure were studied. All patients had normocytic normochromic anemia and low (n = 2) or normal (n = 2) serum levels of erythropoietin. Treatment with erythropoietin, 4000 U subcutaneously biweekly for 6 weeks, increased hematocrit and blood pressure in all patients. Hematocrit increased from 33.9 ± 0.7 to 44.3 ± 1.4%, blood pressure in supine position increased from 150 ± 8/87 ± 8 (systolic/diastolic; mean ± SD) to 166 ± 25/92 ± 12 mmHg, and after 3 min in the head-up tilt position from 86 ± 21/47 ± 15 to 102 ± 23/63 ± 12 mmHg, (p 〈 0.05). All patients reported improvement in orthostatic symptoms and increased tolerance to standing. The study shows that treatment with erythropoietin improves anemia, increases blood pressure and ameliorates orthostatic hypotension in patients with primary autonomic failure.

    Notes: Summary Treatment with L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (L-threo-dops), a synthetic precursor of norepinephrine, significantly increased upright blood pressure in patients with multiple system atrophy but had no effect on the upright blood pressure of patients with pure autonomic failure. These results suggest that the site of action of L-threo-dops is central and that its pressor effect requires intact peripheral sympathetic neurons.

    Description / Table of Contents: Light turbocharger compressor wheels from aluminium and magnesium investment castingWithin the scope of a team work between Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch AG, Volkswagen AG, Sterling International Technologies Ltd. and the Fraunhofer Institute for Strength of Structures under Operational Conditions LBF compressor wheels of aluminium and magnesium investment casting were developed and tested. Strength and fatigue tests, overspeed and field tests as well as metallographic checks were made in addition to the finite element calculations to optimize the stress under centrifugal force in an appropriate way for the materials involved. The results and the knowledge gathered are to clarify whether magnesium alloys are an appropriate replacement for the proven standard aluminium alloy for turbochargers.
    Notes: Im Rahmen einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch AG, Volkswagen AG, Sterling International Technologies Ltd. und dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Betriebsfestigkeit LBF wurden Verdichterräder aus Aluminium- und Magnesiurn-Feingußlegierungen entwickelt und untersucht. Festigkeits- und Schwingfe-stigkeitsuntersuchungen, Schleuder- und Feldversuche sowie metallographische Untersuchungen wurden von Finite-Element-Berechnungen begleitet, mit denen Spannungsverteilungen am Bauteil optimiert wurden. Anhand der ermittelten Ergebnisse soll geklärt werden, inwieweit Magnesium-Feingußlegierungen die gegenwärtig für Turbolader-Verdichterräder eingesetzten Aluminium-Feingußlegierungen ersetzen können.

    Notes: The particle scattering factor P(ϑ) with Gaussian statistics for polydispersed systems has been treated. For a polystyrene sample with a sharp molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn 〈 1.02, Mw = 1.5 X 106), the measured angular dependence of scattered intensity indicates that the polymer coil does obey Gaussian statistics. This holds for a range of concentrations provided the variation of the constant representing the radius of gyration with concentration is adjusted.
