    Notes: Abstract Objective: The methylxanthine derivative pentoxifylline (PTX) is one of those promising substances which are under current investigation to modify or limit inflammatory response. Antiaggregation activity has also been described that may contribute to the beneficial effects of this substance. Long-term effects on platelet function have not been elucidated yet. Design: Prospective, randomized study. Setting: Clinical investigation on a surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. Patients: 26 trauma patients and 26 patients suffering from sepsis secondary to major operations were consecutively studied. Interventions: The patients prospectively received either 1.5 mg/kg per h pentoxifylline continuously for 5 days (after a loading dose of 600 mg) (trauma-PTX, n=13; sepsis-PTX, n=13) or saline solution as placebo (trauma-control; n=13; sepsis-control, n=13). Measurements: On the day of admission (trauma patients) or day of the diagnosis of sepsis and at 12:00 p.m. during the next 5 days, platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP 2.0 μmol/l), collagen (4 μl/ml), and epinephrine (25 μmol/l) was determined by a turbidimetric method from arterial blood samples. Standard coagulation screen was also monitored. Main results: In untreated trauma and sepsis patients, maximum platelet aggregation induced by all three agonists decreased during the first few days after inclusion in the study [trauma: ADP–17.1±8.0 rel% (% change from baseline); sepsis: ADP –26.1±5.6 rel%]. In due course, maximum platelet aggregation recovered, reaching the baseline value or even exceeding it (trauma patients). In the PTX-treated patients, platelet aggregation was significantly less impaired (sepsis group: ADP –4.4±3.3 rel%) or even increased beyond baseline values in the first few days of the study (trauma group: ADP 16.1±8.0 rel%). Fibrinogen plasma levels were lower in the non-treated control groups (p〈0.05) than in the PTX groups. Conclusions: Continuous infusion of PTX for 5 days did not impair platelet function in critically ill patients. In both trauma and sepsis patients, the usual deterioration in platelet function was even attenuated, which may be due to the effects of PTX on cytokine release (e.g., reduction in tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1), improvement in microcirculation, or additional fibrinolytic effects.

    Notes: Bei oxydativer Zersetzung der Bis-hydrazone von 1.2-Benzo-cyclohepten-(1)-dion-(3.4) und Indandion-(1.2) in Gegenwart von Diphenylisobenzofuran bzw. Tetracyclon wurden die Addukte XI bzw. XIII und 1.2.3.4-Tetraphenyl-fluoren isoliert und in ihrer Konstitution aufgeklärt. Hiernach ist das intermediäre Auftreten von Benzocycloheptenin und Indin „sichtbar“ gemacht, deren Verhalten diskutiert wird. Versuche, 1-Chlor-2-brom-inden sowie 1-Chlor-2-brom-3.3-dimethyl-inden zu den zugehörigen Zwischenprodukten mit Kohlenstoffdreifachbindung zu enthalogenieren, führten nicht zum Ziel, da die primär entstehenden Metallhalogen-Derivate überraschend stabil waren.

    Notes: 1. Die Erstarrung der Lösungen von Kupferoxydul in Kupfer erfolgt nach der Erstarrungsart 5, im besonderen nach Art 5a oder 5b nach BAKHUIS ROOZEBOOM. Die Löslichkeit des Kupfers gegenüber Kupferoxydul wird mit dem Übergang aus dem flüssigen in den festen Aggregatzustand praktisch gleich Null. Nach der Erstarrung hat also eine Trennung zwischen Kupfer und Kupferoxydul stattgefunden; es bestehen zwei feste Phasen, reines Kupfer und kupferoxydulreicher Körper (aller Voraussicht nach Kupferoxydnl selbst). Das reine Kupfer hat einen einheitlichen Erstarrungspunkt von 1103°C.1 Die eutektische Legierung mit 3.4 - 3.5 % Oxydul hat einen einheitlichen Erstarrungspunkt bei 1084 °C.1 Alle übrigen Legierungen haben eine sich über mehrere Wärmegrade erstreckende allmähliche Erstarrung, deren unterer Endpunkt bei 1084 °C. liegt. Der Beginn der Erstarrung wird durch das Kupferoxydul bis zu einem Gehalt von 3.4 % herabgedrückt, und bei weiter steigenden Gehalten wieder stark nach oben verschoben. Die Berechnung der Schmelzpunktserniedrigung nach der RAOULT, VAN'T HOFFschen Formel für verdünnte Lösung stimmt mit der Beobachtung überein.2. Abschreckung von zwischen Beginn und Ende der Erstarrung liegenden Warmegraden kann die Festhaltung des Kupferoxyduls im Kupfer im gelösten Zustande bei gewöhnlichen Wärmegraden nicht bewirken.3. Die zwei festen Phasen in den erstarrten Legierungen von Kupfer und Kupferoxydul verteilen sich auf 3 Gefügeelemente: a) oxydulfreies Kupfer in Form rundlicher Kristalliten. b) Kristalliten von Kupferoxydul, von grösserer Härte als Kupfer, von blauer Farbe im zurückgeworfenen und cochenilleroter Farbe im durchfallenden Licht. c) Eutektisches Gemenge von a und b in feinster Verteilung. Legierungen mit weniger als 3.4% Oxydul bestehen aus a + e, solche mit 3.4-3.5% dieses Körpers nur aus e, und solche mit noch höheren Gehalten aus b + e.

    Description / Table of Contents: Potential distribution in ships cathodically protected by impressed currentThe potentiel distribution across the cathodic acreas is investigated with a view to optimizing the cathodic protection; for this purpose tow model arrangements are sued: individual arrangement or periodical array of circular anodes upon a square insulating shield in the cathode plane which was subdivided into squares. For the case of point-shaped anodes the mathematical treatment yields terms enabling the numerical evaluation by series techniques of the particular geometry factor as a function of the width of the insulating shield. the relations thus found can be used to determine the insulation shield width for a given cathode area (individual anode) or a given anode distance (periodical array). Another term represents the potential decay across the insulating shield and the cathode as a function of anode geometry and anode diameter (circular disks). Testing of the relation thus derived, using models in a flow channel, has resulted in satisfactory agreement - within the experimental error - between calculated and experimental results.
    Notes: An den Modellen  -  Einzel- bzw. periodische Anordnung kreisförmiger Anoden auf quadratischen Isolationsschirmen in der quadratischen unterteilten Kathodenebene  -  wird der Potentialverlauf über den Kathodenbezirken im Hinblick auf optimalen Kathodenschutz untersucht. Die mathematische Behandlung führt für den Fall punktförmiger Anoden auf Ausdrücke, aus denen der jeweilige Geometriefaktor als Funktion von Isolationsschirmbreite und Anodenabstand durch Reihenentwicklung zahlenmäßig ermittelt werden kann. Die Zusammenhänge können dazu benutzt werden, um bei gegebener Kathodenfläche (Einzelanode) oder gegebenen Anodenabstand (periodische Anordnung) die Isolationsschirmbreite zu berechnen. Ein weiterer Ausdruck stellt den Potentialabfall über Isolationsschirm und Kathode als Funktion der Anodengeometrie und des Anodendurchmessers (Kreisscheiben) dar. Die Überprüfung der abgeleiteten Beziehungen an Modellen im Strömungskanal ergibt innerhalb der Meßgenauigkeit befriedigende Übereinstimmung zwischen Rechnung und Experiment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Examination of IBDA-aluminum-layers by electrochemical noise analysisThe quality of extremely thin surface coatings for wear and corrosion protection is significantly influenced by pores and film defects (voids, micro cracks, coated impurities), which can occure in the processing stage. These sites are substantially responsible for a mechanical or chemical degradation of the coating at contact with respective surrounding conditions. To meet the requirements of protection the processing stage is optimized by minimizing pores and flaws. Therefore a suitable testing method is necessary to detect the dissolution of the substrate at voids in the earliest stage and to examine large series with acceptable time expenditure for a statistical accuracy. Investigations for the optimization of coating parameters were carried out by means of Electrochemical noise analysis (ENA) on IBAD-aluminum-layers (ion beam assisted deposition) at mild steel(Ck45).
    Notes: Die Qualität von extrem dünnen Oberflächenbeschichtungen für den Korrosions- und Verschleißschutz wird stark durch das Vorhandensein von Poren und Schichtdefekten (Hohlräume, Mikrorisse, Flimmer etc.)beeinflußt, die infolge des Herstellungsprozesses auftreten können. Diese Stellen sind maßgeblich verantwortlich für eine mechanische oder chemische Degradation der Beschichtung bei Kontakt mit der jeweiligen Umgebung. Um den erforderlichen Schutz durch die Beschichtung zu gewährleisten wird der Beschichtungsvorgang durch eine Minimierung von Poren und Fehlstellen optimiert. dazu ist eine Untersuchungsmethode erforderlich, die die Auflösung des Substrates an diesen Fehlstellen im frühesten Stadium anzeigt, um auch große Probenserien zur statistischen Absicherung mit vertretbarem Zeitaufwand zu untersuchen. An IBAD-Aluminium-schichten (ion beam assisted deposition) auf unlegiertem Stahl (Ck45) wurden mit Hilfe der elektrochemischen Rauschanalyse erfolgreich Untersuchungen zur Optimierung von Beschichtungsparametern duchgeführt.
