    Notes: Summary Whipple's disease is a curious disorder with the involvement of many organ systems, primarily gut, synovium and the central nervous system, characterized by the presence of numerous proliferating bacteria in tissue macrophages and other cell types. While clinically this disease entity has previously been defined by the classical triad of diarrhoea, malabsorption and weight loss, some patients do not show these features. In this report, a clinically unusual case of Whipple's disease is described presenting with high persistent fever, severe arthralgias and headaches, but without malabsorption, diarrhoea or weight loss. Nevertheless, the histological and electron microscopical pictures demonstrated the typical findings of intracellular micro-organisms along with the presence of bacteria in Schwann nerve cells, which has only once been described previously. Immunological findings before treatment demonstrated a decrease of T cells with the helper/inducer phenotype, and a concomitant rise in cells with the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype, an elevation of “activated” Ia positive T cells and a significant reduction of T cell mitogenic responsiveness. Of special interest, after a successful treatment these immunological abnormalities shifted to normal with the exception of a still elevated number of Ia+ T cells. The discussion of this unusual case of Whipple's disease includes — besides possible cellular immunological abnormalities — genetic factors, especially since this patient was HLA-B-27-positive as was his son who is suffering from ankylosing spondylitis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Nerve fibre-neuroendocrine cell complexes (NF-NEC-C's) are neuroendocrine cells located in the lamina propria of the gastrointestinal tract directly connected with nerve fibres of Meissner's plexus. We report on a patient with sporadic Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) with electron microscopically demonstrated multiple NF-NEC-C's in non-antral gastric mucosa. It is suspected that in ZES the hypergastrinaemia may represent a trophic stimulus for the proliferation of NF-NEC-C's in the gastric mucosa.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Unter nerval-neuroendokrinen Komplexen (N-NE-K) versteht man in der Lamina propria mucosae des Magen-Darm-Traktes gelegene Nester neuroendokriner Zellen, die in direktem Kontakt zu Nervenfasern des Meissner-Plexus stehen. Es wird über einen Patienten mit sporadischem Zollinger-Ellison-Syndrom (ZES) berichtet, bei dem sich elektronenmikroskopisch in nonantraler Magenschleimhaut multiple N-NE-K fanden. Möglicherweise stellt die Hypergastrinämie bei ZES einen trophischen Stimulus für die Proliferation von N-NE-K in der Magenschleimhaut dar.

    Notes: Abstract In 34 children with phenylketonuria (PKU) treated early the prognostic value of the age on institution of the diet (within the first 3 months of life) and of the quality of dietary treatment was determined in two different ways: 1) following intelligence closely (IQ) and (2) evaluating the EEG development up to their 12th (n=34) and 15th (n=18) years of life as appropriate. In general, IQ scores were found to be normal from the 4th–15th years of life. In our group of patients there was no effect on the IQ of the timing of diet onset. Children with “strict” dietary control showed a significantly higher IQ than those with “loose” control. One hundred and fifty-four EEGs (10/20 system, awake with eyes closed) were recorded at intervals of 2 years and conventionally evaluated. The development of alpha-activity was found to be normal. Beta-activity was enhanced. Abnormal EEG findings like general slowing and generalized paroxysmal activity (GPA) with or without spikes were more frequent in children with PKU than in controls, with the exception of focal abnormalities. EEG abnormalities increased with advancing age independently of IQ development and showed no relation to either the age at the onset nor the quality of dietary treatment.

    Notes: Abstract Amniocentesis was performed at 19 weeks gestation in a mother who had previously delivered a boy with “dihydrobiopterin synthetase” (DHBS) deficiency. The amniotic fluid contained neopterin in high (136 nmol/l) and biopterin in very low concentrations (1.8 nmol/l). The activity of the phosphate-eliminating enzyme (PEE, also called 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase, substrate: 7,8-dihydroneoptein triphosphate) which is present in liver and erythrocytes and defective in DHBS deficiency, was measured in the erythrocytes of the family members. The fetal sample showed only 2% of the activity of healthy adult controls and was comparable with that of the affected sibling. Obligate heterozygotes had activities around 20% of the controls. Two fetal control samples showed even higher activities than adult erythrocytes. Sepiapterin reductase activities were normal in all cases. At autopsy, PEE deficiency was confirmed in the liver of the fetus. We concluded that DHBS deficiency (and most probably also GTP cyclohydrolase I deficiency) can be diagnosed by metabolite measurements in amniotic fluid. PEE activity is measurable in erythrocytes, although the assay needs to be improved. Since maternal tetrahydrobiopterin does not cross the placenta, treatment of a tetrahydrobiopterin-deficient fetus with tetrahydrobiopterin in utero is not possible.

    Neurological outcome in adult patients with early-treated phenylketonuria (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Due to the observation of severe neurological symptoms in single patients as well as brain imaging, neuropsychological and neurophysiological abnormalities, the long-term prognosis of treated phenylketonuria is still under discussion. We investigated the neurological outcome of 57 (24 male, 33 female) patients with phenylketonuria (diet onset 〈3 months) at a mean age of 23.6 (17–33) years in comparison to control subjects. Methods used were a clinical-neurological examination, tests for fine motor abilities, IQ test (WAIS-R), a neuropsychological attention task and MRI (30 patients only). Tremor was increased in the patients (28%) compared to controls (15%). Fine motor abilities were significantly reduced in three areas: hand-wrist steadiness, finger-hand dexterity and hand-wrist speed. Tremor as well as reduced fine motor skills were not associated with treatment-related variables, e.g. diet onset, strictness of biochemical control or amount of MRI white matter change. IQ was lower in patients (mean 97.6) compared to matched control subjects (mean 105.5). IQ at 12 years was correlated with biochemical control from birth up to the age of 12 and remained stable up to adult age, independent of biochemical control after 12 years of age. In contrast to the other outcome parameters, the performance in a neuropsychological attention task was influenced by the concurrent plasma phenylalanine concentration. Specific late-onset neurological impairment was not identified in this sample of early-treated adults with phenylketonuria. Conclusion Careful neurological investigation revealed subtle symptoms of brain damage even after early-initiated treatment in adult patients with phenylketonuria. At present it cannot be excluded that further neurological deterioration could emerge later in life. Thus, patients with phenylketonuria – either on or off diet – should be monitored throughout life.

    Notes: Summary The “borderline lesion” of the stomach (severe dysplasia of the protruded type) is nowadays considered to be a true precancerous lesion. Histologically, this lesion is characterized by a proliferation in the area of the glandular neck, combined with severe cellular atypia. Investigation by means of transmission electron microscopy reveals the structure of these cells to be very similar to the structure of cells of an intestinal-cell-type carcinoma of the stomach. In addition to signs for a loss of differentiation of the cells, such as the absence of rough-surfaced endoplasmatic reticulum, mucin granules, and of the polarity of the cells, remarkably frequently luminal bulges and “blebs” developed to various extents can be detected. Morphometric analysis is delineating the tendency of structural features of the borderline lesion to develop toward the gastric cancer cell. These irregularities might be expressions of the beginning of expansive growth and signs pointing to differentiation into malignant neoplasia.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein neuartiges organisch-anorganisches Hybridmaterial wurde durch den Einbau des Minerals Böhmit mittels eines Sol-Gel-Prozesses in ein Kevlar-Nomex-Copolymeres hergestellt. Durch Reaktion eines Gemisches aus m- und p-Phenylendiamin mit Terephthaloylchlorid und anschließender Umsetzung mit Aminophenyltrimethoxysilan wurden Poly(phenylenterephthalamid)-Ketten mit Aminophenyltri-methoxysilan-Endgruppen synthetisiert. In dieser Polymermatrix wurde die Hydrolyse der Alkoxygruppen einer Lösung von Aluminium-sec-butanolat in Butanol durchgeführt. Dadurch wurde ein chemisch an die Aramid-Ketten gebundenes anorganisches Netzwerk aufgebaut. Aus den hergestellten Hybridmaterialien mit unterschiedlichen Böhmit-Gehalten in der Aramidmatrix wurden Filme gegossen. Die Filme aus Hybridmaterial mit bis zu 15 Gew.-% Böhmit waren transparent gelb, während bei 20 und mehr Gew.-% Böhmit opake Filme erhalten wurden. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften dieser Filme wurden untersucht. Zugfestigkeit, Zugmodul, Härte und maximale Bruchdehnung nahmen mit steigendem Böhmitgehalt zunächst zu, vemngerten sich jedoch bei weiterer Erhöhung des Mineralanteils wieder. Der Zugmodul des Hybridmaterials bei 25°C lag zwischen 3,0 und 4,5 GPa. Die Materialien hielten einer maximalen Zugspannung von 252 MPa stand und zeigten Zersetzungstemperaturen von etwa 450°C. Die rnit DMTA ermittelten Werte für den Speichemodul lagen im Bereich 7,6-18,9 GPa. Das tan δ-Signal verbreiterte sich mit zunehmendem Böhmitanteil und ging bei hohen Böhmitgehalten in eine Schulter über. Die Signalpositionen des Verlustfaktors wurden infolge der zunehmenden sterischen Einschränkung der Segmentbewegungen rnit steigendem anorganischen Anteil zu höheren Temperaturen verschoben.
    Notes: A new organic-inorganic hybrid material was prepared by incorporating boehmite into a Kevlar-Nomex copolymer via a sol-gel process. Poly(phenylene-terephthalamide) chains having aminophenyltrimethoxysilane end groups were prepared by reacting a mixture of m-and p-phenylenediamine with terephthaloyl chloride, followed by end-capping with aminophenyltrimethoxysilane. The hydrolysis of the alkoxy groups of an aluminium sec-butoxide solution in butanol was carried out in the polymer matrix, thus creating an inorganic network structure combined chemically with the aramid chains. Hybrid materials containing different proportions of boehmite in aramid were thus produced and films were cast by solvent evaporation technique. These films with up to 15 wt.-% of boehmite were yellow and transparent, whereas the films with 20 wt.-% or more contents of boehmite were opaque. Mechanical properties of these films were analyzed. The values of tensile strength, initial modulus, toughness and maximum strain at rupture were initially found to increase and then decrease with further addition of boehmite. The tensile modulus of the hybrid material was found to be in the range of 3.0-4.5 GPa at 25°C. These ceramers were found to withstand maximum tensile stress of the order of 252 MPa, and the thermal decomposition temperature was around 450°C. The storage modulus as measured using DMTA was in the range of 7.6-18.9 GPa. The tan δ peak which in general became broader with increasing boehmite content showed a shoulder for composites containing large amounts of boehmite. The position of the peaks shifted towards high temperature with the increase in the inorganic contents showing hindrance in motion with increasing boehmite contents.

    Description / Table of Contents: New Sol-Gel Based Coatings as Corrosion- and Wear-Protection On Non-Ferrous MetalsA new composite coating material has been developed for the protection of non-ferrous alloys (e.g. aluminum, magnesium, zinc and brass). The coating materials were prepared by the solgel process from epoxyalkoxysilanes and aromatic diols to act as crosslinking agents. As solvent, alcohols and glycol ethers have been used.The viscosity of the system (7-55 mPas) was established in a way to be used in spray, dip or flow coating processes. The transparent coatings were cured at T = 100-220°C. In corrosion tests, 3000 hours salt-spray climate and 240 hours CASS-test = Copper chloride and Acetic acid added Salt Spray, no infiltration of the metal-coating interface and no „filiform-corrosion“ on A199.5, AlMg3 and AlMgSil was observed. Brass samples showed less than 4 mm extension of a scribe after 500 hours salt-spray-test. The coatings showed no visible traces of abrasion after 1000 cycles taber abrader test and an excellent adhesion (cross cut and tape-test: grade 0). The transparent basic systems were pigmented by 5 - 10 wt.% of colored organic pigments to obtain all kind of colored coatings.
    Notes: Es wurde ein neuer Beschichtungswerkstoff auf Basis von anorganisch-organischen Kompositen zum Schutz von Metalloberflächen, besonders von Aluminium entwickelt. Das Beschichtungsmaterial wurde über den Sol-Gel-Prozeß synthetisiert, ausgehend von Epoxy-funktionalisierten Alkoxysilanen und aromatischen Diolen als Quervernetzer. Als Lösungsmittel wurden Alkohole und Glykolether verwendet.Die Viskosität der Systeme wurde so eingestellt, daß sowohl Sprüh-, als auch Tauch- und Flut-Beschichtungen durchgeführt werden konnten. Sie lag zwischen 7 und 55 mPas. Nach dem thermischen Verdichtungsprozeß bei 100-220°C wurden transparente Beschichtungen mit ausgezeichneter Haftung auf Al-Mg-, Zn-und Messing-Oberflächen (Gitterschnitt- und Tape-Test: Klasse 0) erhalten. Die Korrosionsfestigkeit beschichteter Aluminiumlegierungen (Al 99.5, AlMg3, AlMgSi I) wurde mit dem Salzsprühverfahren (DIN 50021) und dem CASS-Test (NaCl, CuCl2·2H2O, Essigsäure, pH=3) geprüft und auch nach 3000 Stunden trat keine Unterwanderung der Grenzfläche Metall / Schicht auf. Ebenso wurde keine „Filiform“-Korrosion beobachtet. Messingproben zeigten nach 500 h Salzsprühnebel-Test weniger als 4 mm mittlere Unterwanderungsbreite. Darüber hinaus wurde die Abriebbeständigkeit der Proben überprüft. Die Schichten zeigten keine sichtbare Beschädigung nach Prüfung des Abriebes mit dem Reibradverfahren (1000 Zyklen, Räder: CS 10-F).Es konnten stabile Dispersionen von organischen Farbpigmenten im transparenten Basissystem hergestellt werden, wodurch eine große Vielfalt farbiger Beschichtungen erhalten wurde.

    Description / Table of Contents: Influence of HCl and Cl2 on high temperature corrosion of 2 1/4Cr 1 Mo Steel in atmospheres with high oxygen pressuresThe oxidation of the 2 1/4 Cr 1 Mo steel was investigated at 773 K in oxidizing He-O2-HCl atmospheres. The addition of HCl to He-O2 atmospheres leads to accelerated oxidation rates. Below porous and cracked oxide scales condensed chlorides are formed. At low HCl pressures 0-1000 vppm the “active oxidation” is determining the corrosion process; i.e. oxidation of evaporating chlorides within the oxide scale. For higher HCl contents 1000-3000 vppm the corrosion behaviour changes to paralinear; i.e. simultaneous parabolic oxide growth and linear mass loss by chloride evaporation.
    Notes: Die Oxidation des 2 1/4Cr1Mo-Stahls in oxidierenden He-O2-HCl-Atmosphären bei 773 K wurde untersucht. Der Zusatz von HCl zu He-O2-Atmosphären führt zu stark beschleunigter Oxidation. Unter porösen und rissigen Oxidschichten bilden sich feste Chloride. Bei niedrigen HCl-Drücken 0-1000 vppm bestimmt „aktive Oxidation“ den Korrosionsprozeß; d.h. Oxidation flüchtiger Chloride innerhalb der Oxidschicht. Bei höheren HCl-Drücken 1000-3000 vppm erfolgt ein Übergang zum paralinearen Korrosionsverhalten, d.h. gleichzeitiges parabolisches Oxidwachstum und lineare Massenabnahme durch das Abdampfen von Chloriden.
