    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: Apart from mumps, recurrent parotitis is the most common inflammatory salivary gland disease in childhood. The cause is still unknown. Case report: We present a ten-year-old boy with a recurrent swelling of the left parotid gland, who had difficulties in chewing and a sensation of tension on the left face. Since one year the child wore orthodontic appliances. There were no serological signs of viral infection or an autoimmune process. Ultrasound demonstrated an enlarged left parotid gland with multiple hypoechoic areas. The sialogramm revealed the typical image of multiple cystic ectasies and stenoses of the duct. Treatment of choice were saliva liberating measures. Four months later parotitis relapsed and orthodontic applicances were removed. Since then the patient was free of relapses. Discussion: Recurrent parotitis shoud be treated symptomatically, because of its favourable prognosis. An inflammation of the parotid gland secondary to trauma to Stensen’s duct caused by orthodontic applicances is suggested.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Die rezidivierende Parotitis stellt nach der Parotitis epidemica die häufigste entzündliche Speicheldrüsenerkrankung im Kindesalter dar, deren Pathogenese ungeklärt ist. Fallbericht: Wir stellen einen 10 Jahre alten, seit 1 Jahr orthodontisch versorgten Jungen mit einer rezidivierenden einseitigen Schwellung der Glandula parotis vor, dessen Hauptbeschwerden durch Kauschmerzen sowie ein uncharakteristisches Spannungsgefühl der betroffenen Gesichtsseite gekennzeichnet waren. Serologisch fanden sich keine Hinweise auf eine Virusinfektion oder Autoimmunerkrankung. In der Sonographie zeigte sich eine vergrößerte Parotis mit multiplen echoarmen Arealen. Die durchgeführte Sialographie erbrachte das typische Bild von multiplen zystischen Gangektasien und -stenosen. Therapeutisch verordneten wir speicheltreibende Maßnahmen. Nachdem es 4 Monate später zu einem Rezidiv gekommen war, wurde die orthodontische Versorgung entfernt. Seitdem ist der Patient rezidivfrei. Diskussion: Aufgrund ihrer guten Prognose sollte die rezidivierende Parotitis mit möglichst konservativen Maßnahmen behandelt werden. Ursächlich könnte die Parotitis durch Mikrotraumen am Ausführungsgangsystem infolge Manipulation durch die orthodontische Versorgung ausgelöst worden sein.

    Notes: Abstract Multidrug-resistant tumor cells can be resensitized by combined application of the selecting cytostatic drug and a chemosensitizer, such as cyclosporin A (CsA) or a calcium channel blocker. Since clinical trials on the circumvention of multidrug resistance (MDR) with chemosensitizers report disparate results, we investigated whether tumor cells of the MDR phenotype can develop additional resistance to the cytostatic chemosensitizer combination. Thus, the Adriamycin(ADR)-selected, P-glycoprotein-positive MDR Friend leukemia cell line F4-6RADR was exposed to stepwise increased concentrations of CsA at a constant level of 0.05 μg/ml ADR. The initial CsA concentration (plus 0.05 μg/ml ADR) to inhibit cell growth of F4-6RADR cells by 50% (IC50) was 0.04 μg/ml. By continuous incubation for more than 6 months, the IC50 for CsA (at constant ADR) was elevated to 3.6 μg/ml (90-fold), thus generating the variant F4-6RADR-CsA. The F4-6RADR-CsA cells were cross-resistant for cyclosporin H (CsH), a non-immunosuppressive derivative of CsA. As shown by immunocytochemistry as well as by the polymerase chain reaction and by Western blotting including densitometry, P-glycoprotein was preserved in the F4-6RADR-CsA variant and was expressed at a 4-fold higher level than in F4-6RADR cells. Sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis could detect no new proteins in F4-6RADR-CsA as compared to F4-6RADR. Interestingly, resistance of F4-6RADR-CsA cells remained reversible for the calcium antagonists verapamil and dihydropyridine B859-35 (dexniguldipine-HCl), indicating that CsA and these compounds interfere with the P glycoprotein function by different pharmacodynamic mechanisms. Transport studies with [14C]ADR, performed in the presence and absence of chemosensitizers, confirmed the good correlation of P-glycoprotein function with the pattern of resistance found in proliferation assays. Cellular accumulation of [3H]cyclosporin was reduced to 71% of that of the F4-6 controls in F4-6RADR-CsA cells, but remained at the level of controls in F4-6RADR cells. Results indicate that increased amounts of the P-glycoprotein — besides other, perhaps more important mechanisms that are as yet unknown — partially mediate CsA resistance in F4-6RADR-CsA cells. We have designated this new form of resistance “secondary combined resistance” (SCR). The results suggest that at least some clinical cases of insensitivity to chemosensitizers or of relapse after reversing therapy could be explained by SCR, and that resensitizing treatment of tumor patients should be based on the consideration of several chemosensitizers of different pharmacodynamics.

    Notes: Investigation on Probe Properties of 7-Hydroxy-coumarines in Micellar Cetyl-triethyl-ammoniumbromide Solution - Means for Characterization of Micellar SystemsAnions of 3-substituted 7-hydroxy-coumarines (1a-c) as fluorescence probes have been studied in this work. Acid-base equilibria in water and micellar solution of cetyl-triethylammoniumbromide (cmc = 0,72 mmol l-1), fluorescence properties and fluorescence quenching by octacyano-molybdate-IV have been investigated. It has been confirmed that probe and quencher are completely micellized. Fluorescence life times and quenching constants per one quencher molecule in the micell of about 108 s-1 have been determined. The kinetics of saponification of the probe 3-acetyl-7-hydroxy-coumarine at pH = 12 in micellar solution has been followed by probe fluorescence.

    Notes: The conjugation products of several reactive quinones with glutathione have been identified by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Appropriate conditions have been developed which enabled the direct, dynamic mass spectral analysis of spontaneous, as well as glutathione transferase catalysed conjugation reactions. Applications to a series of quinones provided the direct detection and differentiation of the formation of mono- and bisglutathionyl adducts between regioisomeric quinone substrates in that only 1,4-quinones yielded bisglutathionyl adducts, which were not observed for the 1,2-isomers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Investigations on Electronically Conducting Oxide Systems. XXI [1] Stable Spinels ZnzNiMn2-zO4 and Comparison with Spinels MgzNiMn2-zO4Stable spinels are obtained in the result of substitution of ZnII for manganese in the series ZnzII NiIIMnzIVMn2-2zIIIO4 (O ≤ z ≤1). Different from spinels MgzII NiIIMnzIVMn2-2zIIIO4 (O ≤ z ≤1)they don't be submitted to decomposition in air during slow cooling at medium temperatures. ZnNiMnO4 (z=1) could not be prepared in a mono-phase state which is indicated by the composition of ZnNiMnO3.96 deduced from analysis by oxidimetric titration. The comparably small variation of the specific electrical conductivity and of the activation energy observed in the range O ≤ z ≤ 2/3 for ZnzNiMn2-z is discussed in relation to larger alterations in the series MgzNiMn2-zO4. Structural interpretation is proposed based on the comparison of the molar volume of spinels M Mn2O4 (M: Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mg).
    Notes: Die Substitution von ZnII anstelle von Mangan in der reihe ZnzII NiIIMnzIVMn2-2zIIIO4 (O ≤ z ≤1)ergibt stabile Spinelle, die im Unterschied zu Spinellen MgzIINiIIMnzIVMn2-2zIIIO4 (O ≤ z ≤1) beim langsamen Abkühlen im mittleren Temperaturbereich nicht dem Zerfall unter Sauerstoffaufnahme unterliegen. ZnNiMnO4 (z=1) konnte nach Bestimmung der mittleren Oxydationsstufe des Mangans nur in der Zusammensetzung ZnNiMnO3,96 und damit nicht völlig phasenrein erhalten werden. Die im Bereich O ≤ z ≤ 2/3 relativ geringe Änderung der spezifischen Leitfähigkeit und der Aktivierungsenergie wird im Vergleich mit einer stärkeren Variation der Eigenschaften in der Substitutionsreihe MgzNiMn2-zO4 diskutiert und im Zusammenhang mit einer Betrachtung der Molvolumina von M Mn2O4-Spinellen (M:Mn, fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mg) strukturchemisch interpretiert.

    Notes: The Effect of Cationic Detergents on the Spectral Properties of Pontachrome Azur blue and its Metal(III)-complexes - Micell Effect or Ternary Complex Formation?The results of studies of the metachromasy effect of pontachrome azur blue and its lakes, preferably with aluminium, and hexadecyl-, tetradecyl-, dodecyl- and decyltriethyl-ammonium-bromide, respectively can be explained on the basis of ternary complex formation. The surfactants can be applied at concentrations far below its critical micelle concentrations thus excluding micelle effects.
