    Notes: The background of this study is the finding of several studies that the frequency of respiratory allergies was significantly higher in the former West Germany than the former East Germany. The present study investigated the levels of allergens of house-dust mite (Der p 1 and Der f 1), cat (Fel d 1), and cockroach (Bla g 2) in the household dust of 201 homes in Hamburg (West Germany) and 204 homes in Erfurt (East Germany), and examined the factors that affect these levels. The characteristics of homes were assessed by a questionnaire. The allergen levels were studied in dust from living rooms (LR), bedrooms (BR), and mattresses (MA). We detected in samples from Hamburg significantly higher allergen concentrations than in Erfurt: three times higher Der p 1, five times higher Der f 1, and three times higher Fel d 1. For Bla g 2, no comparison was possible because the concentrations were below the detection limit in 93% of the samples. Most of the differences could be explained by differences in housing and living characteristics between both cities. The mean ratio of Der p 1 levels in mattress dust between Hamburg and Erfurt decreased from 4.1 to 1.54 (NS) after adjustment for season, building material, age of the house, story of the dwelling, type of heating, age of carpet/mattress, presence of dogs, and indoor climate (temperature, humidity). The mean ratio of Der f 1 levels decreased from 6.9 to 2.78 (P〈0.05) after adjustment for these factors. The mean ratio for Fel d 1 in mattress dust decreased fom 4.03 to 1.65 (P〈0.05) after adjustment for season, building material, story of dwelling, size of dwelling, ventilation, cleaning routines, and pets. A similar reduction was seen for floor dust (LR plus BR). Our results indicate that the differences between the concentrations of mite and cat allergens found in Hamburg and Erfurt are explicable mainly, but not completely, by different building characteristics (age of houses, building material, story, and size of the dwelling) which affected the indoor climate, as well as by differences in other individual living habits (keeping of pets, age of carpets or mattresses, and cleaning routines).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In verschiedenen Studien wird eine günstige Wirkung von Pflanzenölen mit hohem Anteil an einfach ungesättigten Fettsäuren, z.B. Ölsäure (cis-9-Octadecensäure), auf die Gesundheit beschrieben. Kürzlich haben wir gezeigt, daß die Fütterung von Ratten mit Korianderöl, das hohe Anteile eines Positionsisomers der Ölsäure enthält, nämlich Petroselinsäure (cis-6-Octadecensäure), zu einer signifikanten Erniedrigung der Arachidonsäure (allcis-5,8,11,14-Eicosatetraensäure)-Anteile in den zellulären Lipiden führte. Hier berichten wir über histopathologische Befunde an männlichen Wistar-Ratten, denen isokalorische Diäten mit 2 % Maiskeimöl und jeweils 12 % (w/w) Pflanzenöl (ölsäure-reiches oder konventionelles Sonnenblumenöl, Olivenöl, Rapsöl, Korianderöl) und unterschiedlichen Anteilen an isomeren Monoenfettsäuren, d.h. Öl- und Petroselinsäure, verabreicht wurden. Die Tiere der Kontrollgruppe erhielten eine Standarddiät mit 4 % (w/w) Fett. Leber, Herz, Aorta, Magen und Milz wurden anatomisch und histologisch untersucht. Die Lebern der Tiere aller Gruppen, die eine fettreiche Diät erhalten hatten — mit Ausnahme der Korianderöl-Gruppe —, entwickelten eine mäßige, nicht-degenerative Fettinfiltration der Hepatocyten, die in den Periportalfeldern einsetzte. Eine ausgeprägte bis schwere Fettinfiltration wurde dagegen in den Hepatocyten von Tieren gefunden, die mit petroselinsäurereichem Korianderöl gefüttert worden waren. In dieser experimentellen Gruppe enthielten die Lebern Fettzysten und Lipidvesikel unterschiedlicher Größe. Außerdem wurden vergrößerte Kerne in zahlreichen Hepatocyten beobachtet, die keine Fettinfiltration aufwiesen. In Ratten, die mit einer Standarddiät gefüttert worden waren, wurde dagegen keine Fettinfiltration in den Leberzellen gefunden. Die Zellen aller anderen untersuchten Organe und Gewebe, insbesondere Herz und Aorta, zeigten weder nicht-degenerative Fettinfiltrationen noch irgendwelche anderen degenerativen Veränderungen. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Fütterung fettreicher Diäten mit unterschiedlichen C18 cis-Monoenfettsäuren in Abhängigkeit von der Position der Doppelbindung unterschiedliche histopathologische Veränderungen in der Leber von Ratten hervorruft. Während Pflanzenöle mit variierenden Ölsäureanteilen ausschließlich zu mäßigen Fettinfiltrationen in den Hepatocyten führten, wurden in den Lebern der mit petroselinsäurereichem Korianderöl gefütterten Tiere degenerative Veränderungen (Fettzysten) sowie — in einigen Fällen — vergrößerte Zellkerne beobachtet, die auf eine unspezifische Stimulierung der Hepatocyten hindeuten.
    Notes: Summary Beneficial effects on health parameters by ingestion of plant oils having high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids such as oleic (cis-9-octadecenoic) acid have been described in several studies. Recently, we have shown that feeding of coriander oil containing high proportions of a positional isomer of oleic acid, i.e. petroselinic (cis-6-octadecenoic) acid, led to significantly decreasing proportions of arachidonic (allcis-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic) acid in the cellular lipids. Here, we report histopathological findings in male Wistar rats fed isocaloric diets containing 2 % corn oil and 12 % (w/w), each, of different plant oils (high-oleic and conventional sunflower oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil as well as coriander oil) containing varying levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, i.e. oleic or petroselinic acids. One group of animals was fed a standard diet containing 4 % (w/w) of fat as control. Liver, heart, aorta, stomach, and spleen were anatomically and histologically examined. Livers of animals from all the groups that had received high-fat diets — except the coriander oil group — showed moderate non-degenerative fat infiltrations of the hepatocytes beginning in the periportal fields. Marked to severe fat infiltration was observed in hepatocytes of animals fed coriander oil. In this experimental group the livers were found to contain fatty cysts in addition to hepatocytes with mixed-size lipid vesicles. Moreover, enlarged nuclei were observed in numerous hepatocytes without fat infiltration. Fat infiltration was not observed in livers of animals fed a rat standard diet. In the cells of all other organs and tissues studied, in particular heart and aorta, neither non-degenerative fat infiltrations nor other degenerative changes were observed for any group. Our results show that feeding of fat-rich diets containing varying proportions of C18 cis-monoenoic fatty acids induced different histopathological alterations in the livers of rats, depending on position of the double bond. Plant oils containing varying proportions of oleic acid lead exclusively to moderate fat infiltration in the hepatocytes, whereas in the animals fed high-petroselinic coriander oil degenerative alterations (fatty cysts) as well as — in several cases — enlarged nuclei were found that are likely due to a non-specific stimulation of the hepatocytes resulting from the cell degeneration observed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Betrachtet werden Wellenmessungen mit Schwimmergeräten an Meßpfählen vor den deutschen Küsten. Die nach Beobachtungsstellen und in Klassen annähernd einheitlicher Windrichtung und -stärke geordneten Wellengrößen unterliegen einer sehr starken Streuung. Dies wird an Beispielen gezeigt, wobei Gründe angegeben werden. 2. Mittelwerte pro „Windklasse“ streuen gleichfalls, weil die Zahl der Beobachtungen pro Klasse in den meisten Fällen zu gering ist. 3. Kritisiert wird eine vonGienapp (1972) verwendete Methode; mit ihr wurden für Windklassen, für die keine Wellenbeobachtungen vorliegen, Wellengrößen durch Ausgleichung und Extrapolation abgeleitet. 4. Schließlich wird vorgeschlagen, nur Messungen bei ausgewählten Wetterlagen auszuwerten bzw. in Zukunft nur bei bestimmten, ausgewählten Windsituationen zu messen.
    Notes: Abstract Wave data, obtained by measurements off the coast of the Federal Republic of Germany scatter very strongly, even within “classes” of uniform wind conditions present at measuring time. The reasons for the considerable scatter are enumerated and discussed. The method used byGienapp (1972) for deriving wave properties from strong winds by extrapolation is criticized. It is proposed to conduct wave measurements only during selected, defined weather situations.

    Notes: Abstract: We study the influence of a tunnel barrier on the quantum transport through a circular cavity. Our analysis in terms of classical trajectories shows that the semiclassical approaches developed for ballistic transport can be adapted to deal with the case where tunneling is present. Peaks in the Fourier transform of the energy-dependent transmission and reflection spectra exhibit a nonmonotonic behaviour as a function of the barrier height in the quantum mechanical numerical calculations. Semiclassical analysis provides a simple qualitative explanation of this behaviour, as well as a quantitative agreement with the exact calculations. The experimental relevance of the classical trajectories in mesoscopic and microwave systems is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In a specific animal model the induction of heterologous enchondral ossification was examined in long term follow-up. Physiologically normal and devitalized frozen porcine epiphyseal cartilage as a control group were transplanted as s.c. xenograft into athymic nude mice (nu/nu). 15 weeks after transplantation the porcine growth plate cartilage showed the development of viable cartilage tissue in the recipients, further differentiating to juvenile longe bone with epiphysis, diaphysis and growth plate. Porcine growth plate cartilage increased s.c. in the recipient nude mice, showing enchondral ossification without any physiological load, and finally an unexpected development towards complete juvenile long bone.
