    Notes: The behavior of radiation-induced carbon-related defects in high-resistivity silicon detectors has been investigated. The defects were introduced by α-particle irradiation and investigated by deep-level transient spectroscopy. An unusual defect behavior consists in low-temperature annealing, including self-annealing at room temperature, of the interstitial carbon Ci with a simultaneous increase of the Ci-Oi-complex concentration. The kinetic parameters of the process have been determined from the increase of the Ci-center concentration versus time. Two annealing velocities have been observed, which arise from different heat treatments during the detector fabrication process.

    Notes: Abstract Motoneuron afterhyperpolarization (AHP) amplitude and somatic input conductance were monitored during pharmacologically induced, locomotorlike ventral root activity using an isolated neonatal rat spinal cord preparation (transected at the C1 level). Nonspontaneously firing motoneurons were selected for study. Single spikes were evoked at regular intervals by brief depolarizing current pulse injections, while somatic input conductance was monitored by hyperpolarizing current pulses. The induction of rhythmic ventral root activity was associated with tonic depolarization of motoneurons as well as superimposed rhythmically alternating membrane depolarization and hyperpolarization (locomotor drive potentials, LDPs). In 9 of 13 trials (six of eight cells) the peak amplitude of AHPs following current-evoked action potentials was reduced during both the hyperpolarized and the depolarized phases of the LDP, compared with the pre-locomotor condition. The peak AHP amplitude increased during the depolarized phase of the LDP in 4 of 13 trials (three of eight cells); however, in 3 of these 4 trials measurement of the AHP later in the course of its trajectory, using a half decay time (HDt) reference point, demonstrated AHP amplitude reduction during rhythmic activity compared with the prelocomotor condition. In seven of eight motoneurons the induction of rhythmic activity was associated with a decrease in input conductance. The pattern of AHP amplitude and conductance modulation during the two phases of the LDP was consistent for individual trials; however, there was considerable intertrial variation. The results suggest that AHP modulation during locomotor-like activity in this preparation can be mediated independently of supraspinal influences by intrinsic spinal cord mechanisms, and the observed AHP suppression does not appear to be the passive result of an increase in background conductance. The discrepancy between peak and HDt-based AHP amplitude measurements during the depolarized phase of the LDP in some trials may be due to competing effects of passively enhanced potassium currents and a mechanism that actively reduces the calcium-dependent potassium conductance. The possibility that both the AHP amplitude and the input conductance changes observed during locomotor-like activity reflect a regulation of potassium channels is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract. A total of 359 sera of untreated patients with syphilis were examined by three methods for the detection of Treponema pallidum specific IgM antibodies, the 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS test, the IgM solid phase haemadsorption assay (IgM-SPHA), and the IgM Captia assay. The results were compared and evaluated. In primary syphilis, the 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS and IgM-Captia yielded reactive results in all patients, whereas only 40% were positive in the IgM-SPHA; the corresponding values for early latent syphilis were 96.0%, 91.5% and 73.1%, respectively. In secondary syphilis, the reactivity of █ serum out of 27 was missed by IgM-Captia and that of another, by the IgM-SPHA. Mean values (ELISA units=extinction/cut-off) of IgM-Captia were higher in primary (2.25) than in secondary syphilis (1.70). In neurosyphilis, only the IgM-SPHA test detected reactivity in all sera, sensitivity for 19S-IgM FTA-ABS and IgM-Captia was 50.0% and 23.1%, respectively. Specificity of the IgM-Captia test results, determined in 386 sera, was 91.2%. The results of specific IgM tests are essential in the diagnosis of congenital syphilis as well as in the recognition of reinfection; they indicate the need for treatment and are useful in the assessment of the effectiveness of therapy.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung. Der Aussagewert von 3 Treponema-pallidum-spezifischen IgM-Testen, dem 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS-, dem 19S-IgM-Solid-Phase-Haemadsorption-Assay (IgM-SPHA) sowie dem IgM-Captia-Test wurde an 359 Sera von unbehandelten Patienten mit bekannter Syphilisinfektion untersucht und die Ergebnisse miteinander sowie mit den Befunden der Routineserologie (FTA-ABS-, TPHA-, VDRL-Test) verglichen. Im Primärstadium (n=38) waren die Proben sämtlicher untersuchter Patienten (37/37) im 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS- und im IgM-Captia-Test, jedoch nur 14/35 (40%) im IgM-SPHA-Test reaktiv. Der FTA-ABS zeigte bei 36/38 (94,7%), der TPHA bei 32/38 (84,2%), der VDRL bei 27/38 (71,1%) die Infektion an. Im Stadium der Frühlatenz (n=53) war der 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS-Test bei 48/50 (96%) reaktiv, der IgM SPHA bei 38/52 (73,1%), der IgM-Captia bei 44/49 (89,8%), der FTA-ABS bei 53/53 (100%), der TPHA bei 51/53 (96,2%) und der VDRL bei 48/53 (90,6%). Im Sekundärstadium (n=28) war der 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS-Test bei 28/28 (100%) reaktiv, der IgM-Captia bei 26/27 (96,3%), der 19S-IgM-SPHA bei 36/52 (69,2%), der FTA-ABS, der TPHA- und der VDRL-Test bei 28/28 (100%). Bei quantitativer Auswertung (ELISA-Einheiten – Absorptions-Grenzwert) des IgM-Captia-Testes lagen die Mittelwerte im Primärstadium deutlich höher (2,25) als im Sekundärstadium (1,7). Die Sera von Patienten mit Neurosyphilis (n=45) waren im 19S-IgM-FTA-ABS-Test in 19/38 (50%) der Proben, im IgM-SPHA-Test in 45/45 (100%), im IgM-Captia in 6/26 (23,1%), im FTA-ABS in 45/45 (100%), im TPHA in 45/45 (100%) und im VDRL in 43/45 (95%) reaktiv. Schließlich wurden die Sera von 195 Personen mit latenter Syphilis von unbekannter Dauer untersucht.
