    Notes: The glass-former salol was studied using carbon and deuteron NMR. For the 13C measurements protonated samples were used. For the deuteron experiments salol was selectively deuterated at the phenyl ring. The measurement of the spin-lattice relaxation times provides clear evidence for an anisotropic reorientation of the molecules in the supercooled liquid. Close to the glass transition a bimodal longitudinal magnetization recovery is observed which indicates the presence of relatively slow intramolecular degrees of freedom. From deuteron solid echo spectra this process is identified as a uniaxial large amplitude motion of the phenyl group which exhibits a broad distribution of correlation times. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Proton, deuteron, and carbon NMR methods were applied to study various isotopic species of supercooled and glassy propylene carbonate. The molecular diffusion was investigated via static field gradient diffusometry and yielded evidence for a particularly pronounced enhancement of the translational over the reorientational dynamics. The latter was monitored using measurements of spin-lattice relaxation times and of two-time stimulated echoes. The sin–sin correlation functions exhibited a pronounced dependence on the evolution times. From these results it is concluded that the geometry of molecular reorientation can be described as a superposition of moderately small jump angles (about 30°) and a quasi-diffusive component which is responsible for about one-third of the total angular displacement. Finally, four-time stimulated echoes confirmed that the nonexponential relaxation in propylene carbonate is dynamically heterogeneous in nature. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The largest subgroup of patients with metastasised urological malignancies are those with metastases of the bone. Lesions of bones frequently reduce the patients quality of life. Therefore a sufficient therapy is crucial. First of all the appropriate diagnostic procedure of the lesion/lesions is necessary because e the right choice of diagnostic measures may already improve quality of life. Besides the most frequently used local irradiation a systemic radiotherapy may be the adequate therapy in patients with disseminated disease. Renal cell-, bladder and penile cancer respectively are the urological malignancies frequently metastasising into the brain. Adequate diagnostic procedures and therapy are crucial to the patients quality of life for the remaining lifetime. Besides a whole brain irradiation as standard therapy stereotactic radiotherapy is a high precision tool to destroy intracerebral tumour. There are many other locations of metastatic disease (i. e. lymph node or soft tissue metastasis, et cetera) where palliative external beam irradiation may provide relief from symptoms such as pain, lymph oedema or bleeding and thus increase quality of life. Psychological and social care are of great value besides symptom oriented therapy (i. e. radiotherapy, drugs, et cetera) to achieve an optimal palliation/quality of life.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Patienten mit Knochenmetastasen bilden die größte Gruppe der Patienten mit urologischen Tumoren im metastasierten Stadium. Da ossäre Läsionen häufig die Lebensqualität deutlich einschränken, ist eine suffiziente Therapie von entscheidender Bedeutung. Zunächst ist die korrekte Diagnostik der Läsion/Läsionen notwendig. Hier kann schon durch die Wahl des geeigneten diagnostischen Verfahrens Lebensqualität gewonnen werden. Neben der am häufigsten eingesetzten lokalen Bestrahlung ist auch eine systemische Radiatio besonders bei disseminierter Erkrankung möglich. Urothel-, Blasen und Peniskarzinomen stellen die urologischen Malignome, bei denen es zu Hirnmetastasen kommen kann. Auch hier ist die adäquate Diagnostik ausschlaggebend für die Lebensqualität in der verbleibenden Lebenszeit des Patienten. Neben einer Ganzhirnbestrahlung ist die stereotaktische Radiatio als Hochpräzisionsbestrahlung zu nennen, die eine effektive Maßnahme zur Tumorvernichtung darstellt. Auch bei anderen Metastasen urologischer Tumore (Lymphknoten, Weichteilmetastasen, etc) ist durch eine palliative Strahlentherapie ein Gewinn an Lebensqualität möglich und Symptome wie Schmerzen, Lymphödem oder Blutung können effektiv gelindert werden. Neben der symptomorientierten Therapie (Radiatio, Medikamente, etc) ist die psychosoziale Betreuung für eine optimale Palliation/Lebensqualität von großer Bedeutung.

    Notes: Abstract: The relevance of calcium (Ca2+), an essential bone mineral, to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is well established. However, a good deal of evidence casts doubt on the validity of current RDAs (recommended daily allowance), i.e., 800–1000 mg/day. New guidelines consistently advocate higher daily intakes (up to 1500 mg/day), a goal that may be difficult to achieve for many patients. Environmental as well as individual behavioral factors may limit the consumption of dairy products, whereas calcium supplements require a high level of compliance and cause additional costs. Calcium-rich mineral waters may offer a promising alternative. A systematic literature search was performed (Medline, years 1966–1998) to identify experimental studies on the bioavailability of calcium-rich mineral waters. First, all publications on calcium absorption from mineral waters were identified, and, in a second step, studies comparing calcium absorption from mineral waters with that from dairy products. Four studies fulfilled all inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis based on published p values indicated calcium absorption from mineral waters was significantly higher (p= 0.03) than that from dairy products. Although only few studies with a relatively small number of subjects are available to date, the bioavailability of calcium from calcium-rich mineral waters thus seems to be at least comparable to, and possibly better than, that from dairy products. These results are in keeping with the assumption that calcium-rich mineral water is a useful calcium source to achieve new, higher recommended daily allowances of calcium.

    Notes: Das Prostatakarzinom ist die zweithäufigste Krebserkrankung bei Männern in Deutschland und die Ursache für 13,5% aller bösartigen Erkrankungen. In den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika liegt diese Rate sogar bei 30%. Ätiologisch sind nur wenige Faktoren bekannt, die das Auftreten eines Prostatakarzinoms begünstigen. Als gesichert gelten ethnische Unterschiede mit einem erhöhten Risiko für Afro-Amerikaner gegenüber Weißen, Chinesen oder Japanern. Eine signifikante Erhöhung des Risikos für die Erkrankung an einem Prostatakarzinom wurde außerdem bei Männern mit einer positiven Familienanamnese berichtet [1, 28]. Als ein weiterer Risikofaktor werden Ernährungsgewohnheiten angesehen, wobei fette, ballaststoffarme Ernährung und ein hoher Body-Mass-Index mit einem erhöhten Risiko für die Erkrankung einhergeht [13, 17].

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Radiotherapy of patients with prostate cancer offers an alternative to radical prostatectomy in early stages (T1–T2). In locally advanced prostate cancer a high dose or combined radiotherapy is more effective than radical surgery with concurrent lower morbidity and mortality. Recent developments in linear accellerator technique, the progress in dose calculation and planning techniques provide the means to apply higher doses to a given tumor volume while effectively protecting the surrounding normal tissue at the same time. These improvements may possibly reduce the rate of therapy related side effects or complications significantly. The combination of external beam radiotherapy and interstitial brachytherapy as well as the combination of hormone therapy and external beam radiotherapy are most likely more effective than percutaneous irradiation alone. In special cases with a very low risk of recurrent tumor an interstitial permanent brachytherapy alone is indicated. Future developments (i. e. intensity modulated radiotherapy – IMRT, combined thermo-radiotherapy, proton- or neutrontherapy) may further increase the rate of curative treatments in patients with prostate cancer.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Strahlentherapie von Patienten mit Prostatakarzinomen bietet eine gleichwertige Alternative zur radikalen Prostatektomie in frühen Stadien (T1–T2). Beim lokal fortgeschrittenen Prostatakarzinom ist eine hochdosierte oder kombinierte Strahlentherapie effektiver als eine Radikaloperation bei geringerer Morbidität und Mortalität. Durch die Entwicklung neuer Linearbeschleuniger und Fortschritte in der Bestrahlungsplanung mit besseren Bestrahlungstechniken ist es heute möglich, höhere Bestrahlungsdosen zu applizieren und gleichzeitig das umgebende, gesunde Gewebe besser zu schonen. Somit ist es möglich, daß die Rate von therapiebedingten Komplikationen konstant bleibt oder absinkt. Die Kombination von perkutaner Radiatio mit interstitieller Brachytherapie ebenso wie die Kombination von Hormontherapie mit perkutaner Radiatio sind möglicherweise effektiver als die alleinige perkutane Radiatio. In ausgewählten Fällen mit niedrigem Risiko ist eine alleinige, interstitielle, permanente Brachytherapie angezeigt. Zukünftige Entwicklungen (IMRT, kombinierte Thermo-Radio-Therapie, Protonen- oder Neutronentherapien) können möglicherweise die Rate kurativ behandelter Patienten weiter erhöhen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Spinal fractures are located predominantly at the thoracolumbar junction. After conservative treatment, for unstable fractures operative procedures were established during the last 20 years. Using implants with angular stability, dorsal transpedicular fixation yields good clinical results even compared with those of combined dorsoventral procedures. Transpedicular bone grafting is controversial as resorption frequently occurs; it has given disappointing results in fracture types in which definitive segmental fusion is unavoidable, so that combined dorso-ventral stabilization is necessary in such cases. The most frequent complications of dorsal instrumentation are the result of badly positioned transpedicular screws.
    Notes: Die Verletzungen des thorakolumbalen Übergangs stellen die Mehrzahl der Frakturen der Wirbelsäule dar. Nach der konservativen Therapie hat sich in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten die operative Versorgung instabiler Frakturen etabliert. Die dorsale transpedikuläre Spondylodese unter Verwendung winkelstabiler Implantate stellt ein Verfahren dar, mit dem sich auch im Vergleich zu aufwändigen dorsoventralen Rekonstruktionen bei den meisten Frakturen gute klinische Resultate erzielen lassen. Der additionellen transpedikulären intrakorporalen Spongiosaplastik wird aufgrund der zu beobachtenden Resorption des Transplantats zunehmend geringere Bedeutung beigemessen. Auch bei Frakturtypen, bei denen eine definitive Fusion angestrebt werden sollte, hat die transpedikuläre interkorporale Knochentransplantation enttäuscht, sodass in derartigen Fällen nach primärer dorsaler Stabilisierung sekundär die Fusion von ventral erfolgen sollte. Die häufigsten Komplikationen bei der dorsalen transpedikulären Spondylodese sind auf Fehllagen der transpedikulären Schrauben zurückzuführen.

    Notes: Abstract Small organic pigments were incorporated in TEOS derived sol-gel layers on glass. The layers were characterised on transparency, lightfastness and pencil hardness. It was found that transparent layers can be made. Pigment loaded layers have a better lightfastness than layers into which dyes are incorporated. As only moderate curing temperatures (160°C) were applied, the organic fraction originating from the organic stabilizer present in the pigment dispersion remains to a large extent in the layer. Therefore the pencil hardness decreases with the amount of stabilizer used to disperse the pigment particles. The type of pigment has no influence on the pencil hardness.

    Keywords: PDGF receptor kinase blocker AG1295 Interstitial fibrosis Kidney Immunohistochemistry Rat (Sprague Dawley)

    Notes: Abstract. The current study was designed to investigate possible effects of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor kinase blocker AG1295 on the development of interstitial fibrosis in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), monitored by ED-A+ fibronectin expression, the number of macrophages, and the presence of myofibroblasts as visualized by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) IST9, mAb ED1, and mAb 1A4, respectively; interstitial fibrosis was quantified by Sirius-Red staining and computer-aided image analysis. Without AG1295 treatment, the Sirius-Red stained area of the control kidneys comprised 6.8±1.3% of the totally inspected area and increased to 19.0±1.9% in animals by 14 days and to 23.4±1.7% by 21 days after UUO. The number of macrophages increased from 4.3±1.1 in controls to 16.6±2.6 in animals at 14 days and to 23.2±4.4 at 21 days after UUO. This was accompanied by an increase in both ED-A+ fibronectin deposition and α-smooth muscle actin expression. Treatment with AG1295 (12 mg/kg body weight, daily i.p.) significantly reduced interstitial fibrosis as verified by a smaller Sirius-Red stained area (15.7±1.9% in animals at 14 days and 17.0±0.7% at 21 days after UUO) and also by a reduced number of macrophages (12.8±1.4 in animals at 14 days and 15.5±3.8 at 21 days after UUO), and by the ED-A+ fibronectin deposition and the number of cells positive for α-smooth muscle actin. The study indicates that the PDGF receptor kinase blocker AG1295 is able to decrease interstitial fibrosis in the rat UUO model significantly. The diminution of early fibrosis mediators, i.e., macrophages, ED-A+ fibronectin, and myofibroblast phenotype, points to a modulated fibrosis process via a blockade of PDGF actions.
