    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung C-Peptid und Insulin werden in äquimolaren Mengen aus der Beta-Zelle des Pankreas ausgeschleust. In speziellen Situationen, wenn die endogene Insulinkonzentration im Blut selbst nicht meßbar ist, etwa weil sich injiziertes Fremdinsulin in der Zirkulation befindet, kann die Bestimmung der C-Peptidkonzentration im Blut stellvertretend für Insulin herangezogen werden. In diesem Sinne wird die C-Peptidbestimmung auch im C-Petid-Suppressionstest durchgeführt, mit dem man die Supprimierbarkeit der endogenen Insulinausschüttung durch eine mittels Fremdinsulin verursachte Hypoglykämie prüfen kann. Mit diesem Test kann man funktionelle von tumorbedingten Hyperinsulinämien abgrenzen, da sich letztere infolge autonomer Insulinsekretion des Tumors in der Regel nicht supprimieren lassen. Bei 11 von uns untersuchten freiwilligen gesunden Probanden kam es nach i.v.-Injektion von 0,15 E Altinsulin/kg zu einem Rückgang des Serum-C-Peptids von 2,86 (±0,87 σ) ng/ml (Ausgangskonzentration) auf 0,99 (±0,38) ng/ml, d.h. 67 (±9,6)% der C-Peptidbasalsekretion wurden durch die insulininduzierte Hypoglykämie supprimiert. Bei sechs von sieben Patienten mit organischem Hyperinsulinismus (Insulinome, ein Inselzellcarcinom) betrug der Suppressionseffekt nur 22,9 (±7,1)% und war damit deutlich schwächer als bei unserem Normalkollektiv. Eine Supprimierbarkeit der C-Peptidsekretion von unter 40% ist nach unseren Befunden pathologisch erniedrigt. Postoperativ war bei fünf Patienten, bei denen eine Nachuntersuchung möglich war, die Supprimierbarkeit der Insulinsekretion mit 64,6 (±9,5)% in den Normbereich zurückgekehrt. Wir stimmen anhand der in die Literaturübersicht einbezogenen Ergebnisse mit anderen Autoren überein, daß in ca. 85% der Fälle von insulinproduzierenden Tumoren der C-Peptid-Suppressionstest pathologisch verläuft. Der Vorteil des Tests liegt, neben der Nachweisbarkeit des nicht supprimierbaren pathologischen Hyperinsulinismus, vor allem in seiner Kürze, wodurch die Möglichkeit der Verlaufskontrolle verbessert ist. Somit besteht auch ein geringeres Risiko für hypoglykämische Zwischenfälle.
    Notes: Summary C-Peptide and insulin are secreted in equimolar amounts by the pancreatic beta cells. In certain situations where insulin itself cannot be measured, for example in the presence of injected insulin in the circulation, the determination of the C-peptide concentration in the serum may replace the observation of insulin concentration. Under this aspect the determination of C-peptide is performed in the C-peptide suppression test. It serves to demonstrate whether the endogenous insulin secretion is suppressible by an insulin injection or not. In this way functional hyperinsulinism can be differentiated from autonomous tumour hyperinsulinism, the latter not being suppressible by insulin induced hypoglycemia. In 11 volunteers the serum concentrations of C-peptide descreased after injection of 0.15 U regular insulin/kg from 2.86 (±0.87 σ) ng/ml (pre-injection value) to 0.99 (±0.38) ng/ml. On average, 67 (±9.6) % of the C-peptide secretion was suppressed by the insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Six out of seven patients with organic hyperinsulinism (insulinomas, one islet cell carcinoma) showed, in contrast, a suppression effect of 22.9 (±7.1)% of their initial rate of C-peptide secretion. A suppression effect of less than 40% should be considered as impaired according to these findings. Only one patient who later successfully underwent the resection of an islet cell adenoma had a preoperative suppression effect within the normal range. In five patients the test could be repeated postoperatively: they all showed normalized results with 64.6 (±9.5)% suppression in average. In regard to the reviewed literature we aggree with other authors that the C-peptide suppression test yields a pathological result in 85% of insulin-producing tumours.

    Notes: Abstract Blasdel and Salama's sensory maps of orientation-selective edge detectors in the monkey striate cortex can be reduced to an idealized scheme in which orientation hypercolumns of the d- and l-type occur in alternating sequence (Fig. 1). This scheme resolves the apparent contradiction between linear and circular arrangements of successive edge directions in earlier accounts. The actual configuration of hypercolumns is in register with two possible templates for the self-organization of orientation selectivity: the isometric cytochrome oxidase blobs of the colour system, and the anisometric slabs of the ocular dominance system. The centers of the hypercolumns coincide with the blobs. Simulation of cortical self-organization shows this co-incidence even in the absence of template-specific interactions. However, blobs and slabs are symmetrical to these centers, and therefore no templates for the asymmetrical distribution of preferred orientation in the hypercolumns. The present simulation derives the pre-natal formation of an initial scheme from a hypothetical gradient of nervous activity. Post-natal formation, or maturation, of this scheme is achieved by visual experience. Simulation of corresponding interactions between simultaneously activated neurons illustrates both the gain in orientation selectivity (Figs. 2 and 3), and the optimization of farfield diversity and nearfield conformity (Figs. 4 and 5). The results are compatible with the actual distribution of blob-centered d- and l-hypercolumns, iso-orientation modules and orientation fractures in the monkey. A surprisingly similar distribution of blobless d- and l-hypercolumns is expected in the absence of the colour system. Applied to the apparently blobless cortex of the cat, the scheme explains the modulation of deoxyglucose uptake along the iso-orientation bands in a report of Löwel, Freeman, and Singer.

    Notes: Abstract The time domain sampler (TDS) experiment on WIND measures electric and magnetic wave forms with a sampling rate which reaches 120 000 points per second. We analyse here observations made in the solar wind near the Lagrange point L1. In the range of frequencies above the proton plasma frequency fpi and smaller than or of the order of the electron plasma frequency fpe, TDS observed three kinds of electrostatic (e.s.) waves: coherent wave packets of Langmuir waves with frequencies f ≃ fpe, coherent wave packets with frequencies in the ion acoustic range fpi ≥ f ≥ fpe, and more or less isolated non-sinusoidal spikes lasting less than 1 ms. We confirm that the observed frequency of the low frequency (LF) ion acoustic wave packets is dominated by the Doppler effect: the wavelengths are short, 10 to 50 electron Debye lengths λD. The electric field in the isolated electrostatic structures (IES) and in the LF wave packets is more or less aligned with the solar wind magnetic field. Across the IES, which have a spatial width of the order of ≃25D, there is a small but finite electric potential drop, implying an average electric field generally directed away from the Sun. The IES wave forms, which have not been previously reported in the solar wind, are similar, although with a smaller amplitude, to the weak double layers observed in the auroral regions, and to the electrostatic solitary waves observed in other regions in the magnetosphere. We have also studied the solar wind conditions which favour the occurrence of the three kinds of waves: all these e.s. waves are observed more or less continuously in the whole solar wind (except in the densest regions where a parasite prevents the TDS observations). The type (wave packet or IES) of the observed LF waves is mainly determined by the proton temperature and by the direction of the magnetic field, which themselves depend on the latitude of WIND with respect to the heliospheric current sheet.

    Notes: The atomic positions of the silicon carbide (SiC) polytypes 6H and 4H differ slightly from an ideal tetrahedron. These small deviations can be investigated by X-ray diffraction of so-called `quasiforbidden' reflections, which are very sensitive with respect to the extremely small variations in the structure. Nevertheless, an unambiguous calculation of the refinement parameters from the absolute values of the structure factors of the `quasiforbidden' reflections is not possible. In the case of SiC-4H, there are two and, in the case of SiC-6H, six different structure models, which yield the same absolute values of the structure factors. In order to distinguish between these models, additional phase information about the measured reflections is needed. To achieve this, Renninger-scan (\psi-scan) profiles in the vicinity of three-beam cases are used. These experimentally measured \psi-scans are compared with theoretical calculated profiles for each model. Another method to distinguish the different models is to compare the bond lengths between atoms of the two polytypes, which have equivalent vicinities. For both SiC-4H and SiC-6H, an unambiguous determination of the structure refinement parameters was possible.
