    Notes: Abstract Leukotriene (LT) generation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the acure respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS. In the present study, we analysed broncho-alveolar lavage fluids of patients on mechanical ventilation because of ARDS (17 samples taken from 9 patients) or because of cardiogenic edema (8 samples taken from 6 patients) and of healthy volunteers (10 samples from different donors). LTs were separated as methylated and non-methylated compounds using different HPLC procedures, and were identified by chromatographic mobility, on-line UV-spectrum analysis and post HPLC immunoreactivity. In the lavage samples of the healthy volunteers and the patients with cardiogenic edema, no LTs were detected by these technicues (detection limit≃0.1–0.2 ng/ml lavage fluid). By contrast, in 15 out of 17 samples from patients with ARDS LTB4 or its metabolites 20-OH-LTB4 and 20-COOH-LTB4 were detected. The endproduct of omega-oxidation, 20-COOH-LTB4, represented the quantitatively predominant compound, detected in the range of 0.3–2.6ng/ml perfusate. We conclude that the chemotactic agent LTB4 may be involved in the amplification of inflammatory events encountered in ARDS, and that the oxidized metabolites of LTB4 are particularly suitable for monitoring lung leukotriene generation under conditions of neutrophil efflux and oxidative stress.

    Notes: Summary Transcranial color-coded real-time sonography (TCCS) is a new diagnostic method allowing the non-invasive imaging of parenchymal and vascular structures of the adult brain through the intact skull. A description of the sonographic findings in two patients presenting with a radiologically ascertained arterio-venous malformation is provided. The AVM's can be depicted in the two-dimensional B-mode image as echodense areas interspersed with zones of lower echodensity. Their extension correlated with corresponding MRI images. The color-coded illustration of intravascular flow phenomena allowed the distinct identification of the major afferent feeding vessels, the venous drainage and of the vascular convolution of both AVM's. Information on hemodynamics, as e.g. the blood supply of the angioma by the contralateral internal carotid artery, are obtained by color-coded identification of intravascular flow direction including analysis of the Doppler frequency spectrrum. All findings obtained by TCCS complied with those established by angiography. We conclude, that TCCS is a suitable method for early diagnosis and long term follow up of cerebral AVM's.

    Notes: Abstract Transcranial colour-coded real-time sonography (TCCS) was carried out in 25 patients with brain tumours to determine whether this noninvasive method provides additional information about the extent of solid tumour, its differentiation from oedema, and its tissue components. All 25 patients had serial computed tomography (CT)-guided stereotactic biopsies. Comparison of ultrasound, CT and histological findings revealed that the vast majority of contrast enhancing areas on CT were hyperechogenic (32/33; 97%) and contained tumour tissue (29/32; 91%). Hyperechogenic areas always represented solid tumour (23/23 patients), even when CT showed low density non-enhancing lesions. In lestons hypoechogenic on TCCS and low density on CT, histology consistently revealed necrotic tumour (7/7). Biopsies obtained from parenchyma with normal echogenicity revealed tumour in only 3 of 16 speciemens. Despite the high specificity of TCCS in the differentiation of tumour components, its sensitivity to tumour was inferior to that of CT (24/25; 96%). TCCS thus allows noninvasive preoperative identification of tumour tissue and its extent setting.

    Notes: Abstract Feeding selectivity by five epilithic, case-building trichopteran species from a first-order stream was examined using laboratory experiments. Larvae had the choice of three food types: periphyton and detritus from the stream, and nettle broth as an ‘artificial’ food source. Food type influenced the microdistribution of these species. Larvae were able to distinguish between different food types and showed species-specific responses to the various types of food. Drusus annulatus, Micrasema longulum and Apatania fimbriata favoured periphyton, while Agapetus fuscipes and Silo pallipes showed no preference for periphyton over detritus. Four of the five species examined (Apatania fimbriata was the exception) tended to avoid nettle broth. The complexity of foraging behaviour was illustrated by M. longulum. Given a choice between detritus, periphyton and periphyton with the addition of moss, they clearly preferred the latter food type, scraping mostly on the epiphytic algae. Proportions of a given species selecting periphyton were correlated with percentage areas of algae in the gut contents of that species in the field. D. annulatus, M. longulum and A. fimbriata showed the greatest preference for periphyton, and consumed the highest proportions of algae in the field. A. fuscipes and S. pallipes often selected detritus, and these species had the lowest proportions of algae, and the highest proportions of detritus, in their guts.

    Notes: Abstract The TDPAC method was used to study the electric field gradients at the metal sites of human and bovine lactoferrin. Two specific binding configurations were observed. The distribution between these configurations depends on the phosphate content, the pH, and the temperature of the samples. The electric field gradients are compared with the results of previous studies for human and rat serum transferrin, and hen ovotransferrin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Sauerstoff-Bedingungen in der unteren Wasserschicht eines Schelfmeeres werden im allgemeinen durch die O2-Konzentration dicht über dem Meeresboden charakterisiert, weil diese für die Boden-Organismen besonders wichtig ist und am Boden häufig O2-Mangel herrscht. Für andere Umwelt-Aspekte muß man die gesamte Wassersäule in die Betrachtung einbeziehen. Daher wird ein neuer Sauerstoffmangel-Index vorgeschlagen. Er ist definiert durch das Sauerstoff-Defizit in der Schicht zwischen dem Meersboden und der Tiefe mit 100% O2-Sättigung. Beide Indexe ergänzen einander. Sie können angewendet werden a) zur Beurteilung der aktuellen Sauerstoff-Situation b) zur Erkennung von zeitlichen Veränderungen und Trends c) zum Vergleich der der Sauerstoff-Bedingungen in verschiedenen Gebieten. Zum Vergleich von Stationen mit unterschiedlichen Wassertiefen wird der Sauerstoffmangel-Index auf die Wassertiefe bezogen. Die Indexe werden anhand von praktischen Beispielen aus der südwestlichen Ostsee erläutert.
    Notes: Summary Usually, the oxygen conditions in the lower water layer of a shelf sea area are characterized by the oxygen concentration immediately above the bottom, because this concentration is essential for the bottom living organisms, and as there may be a high oxygen demand due to benthic respiration For other environmental aspects, however, the vertical distribution in the whole water column must be taken into account. So, a new oxygen deficiency index is proposed. It is difined by the oxygen deficit in the layer between the bottom and the depth witl: 100% oxygen saturation, Both indexes complement each other. They can be used for a) Characterizing the actual oxygen situation, b) recongnizing temporal changes and trends, c) comparing the oxygen conditions in different areas. For comparison of stations with different depths, the oxygen dificiency index is related to (=divided by) the water depth. Some examples are given for temporal variations and trends and for spatial differences of the oxygen situation in the south-western Baltic Sea.

    Description / Table of Contents: Hydrogen Bridges. I. Molecular and Crystal Structure of Phosphonic Acid H3PO3 - X-ray and Neutron Diffraction Studies of the Hydrogen and Deuterium CompoundsThe structure of phosphonic acid H3PO3 has been redetermined by single crystal neutron diffraction (λ = 104.22 pm) at 15.0 ± 0.1 K yielding lattice parameters {Pna21; Z = 8; a = 716.6(3); b = 1201.3(5); c = 674.3(3) pm} and bond lengths {mean values from two crystallographically independent molecules: P—O 155; P=O 150; P—H 139; O—H 101 pm} of high reliability (R = 0.053). Each molecule is involved in four asymmetric hydrogen bonds (O…H 155 to 160pm; O—H…O 168 to 177°) with either hydroxyl group donating and the phosphoryl fragment acting as a twofold acceptor. Thus a complex, three-dimensional net, consisting of four- and eight-point circuits in a 1:2 ratio, is put up although the molecules are packed in a comparatively simple way to form an almost cubic closest arrangement.An X-ray crystal structure determination (R = 0.032) carried out at 173 ± 3 K for comparison revealed no significant differences and angles between phosphorus and oxygen atoms; an additional comparing neutron diffraction study at 15.0 ± 0.1 K (λ = 131.68 pm; isotropic atomic displacement parameters) of the hydrogen (r = 0.044) and deuterium compounds (R = 0.041) resulted in nearly identical structural models for the two isotopomers.
    Notes: Die Struktur der Phosphonsäure H3PO3 wurde mittels Neutronenbeugung (λ = 104,22 pm) an einem Einkristall bei 15,0 ± 0,1 K neu bestimmt, so daß Gitterparameter {Pna21; Z = 8; a = 716,6(3); b = 1201,3(5); c 674,3(3) pm} und Bindungslängen {Mittelwerte aus zwei kristallographisch unabhängigen Molekülen: P—O 155; P = O 150; P—H 139; O—H 101 pm} nun sehr genau (R = 0,053) bekannt sind. Jedes Molekül nimmt teil an vier unsymmetrischen Wasserstoff-Brückenbindungen (O…H 155 bis 160 pm; O—H…O 168 bis 177°), wobei die Hydroxyl-Gruppen als Donoren und die Phosphoryl-Fragmente als jeweils zweifache Akzeptoren auftreten. Insgesamt wird so ein komplexes, aus Maschen von vier und acht Knoten im Verhältnis 1:2 bestehendes Raumnetz aufgespannt, obwohl die Moleküle selbst verhältnismäßig übersichtlich im Sinne einer kubisch dichtesten Anordnung gepackt sind.Eine zum Vergleich bei 173 ± 3 K durchgeführte Röntgenstrukturanalyse (R = 0,032) ergab in den P—O-Abständen und O—P—O-Winkeln kaum nennenswerte Unterschiede; eine zusätzliche, vergleichende Neutronenbeugungsuntersuchung bei 15,0 ± 0,1 K (λ = 131,68 pm; isotrope atomare Auslenkungsparameter) an der Hydrogen- (R = 0,044) und an der Deuterium-Verbindung (R = 0,041) führte zu weitgehend übereinstimmenden Strukturmodellen für die Isotopomeren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. IV Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Lithium [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DMELithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME [3] and tellurium react in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give colourless lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME (1). An X-ray structure determination {-150 · 3·C; P21/c; a = 1346.6(4); b = 1497.0(4); c = 1274.5(3) pm; β = 99.22(2)·; Z = 2 dimers; R = 0.030} shows the compound to be dimeric forming a planar Li—Te—Li—Te ring with two tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents in a trans position. Three-coordinate tellurium is bound to the central silicon of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group and to two lithium atoms; the two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium are occupied by the chelate ligand DME {Li—Te 278 and 284; Si—Te 250; Li—O 200 pm (2X); Te—Li—Te 105°; Li—Te—Li 75°; O—Li—O 84°}. The covalent radius of 154 pm as determined for the DME-complexed lithium in tellanide 1 is within the range of 155 ± 3 pm, also characteristic for similar compounds. In typical reactions of the tellanide 1 [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane (2), methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane (4) and bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellane (5) are formed.
    Notes: Lithium-tris(trimethylsilyl)silanid · 1,5 DME [3] reagiert mit Tellur in 1,2-Dimethoxyethan zu farblosem Lithium-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyi]tellanid · DME (1). Nach der Röntgenstrukturanalyse {-150 ± 3°C; P21/c; a = 1346,6(4); b = 1497,0(4); c = 1274,5(3) pm; β = 99,22(2)°; Z = 2 Dimere; R = 0,030} ist Verbindung 1 im Festkörper dimer; die beiden Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl-Gruppen sind am planaren Li—Te—Li—Te-Ring trans-ständig zueinander angeordnet. Tellur erreicht durch Bindung an zwei Lithium und ein Silicium die Koordinationszahl 3, Lithium durch Bindung an zwei Tellur und den Chelatliganden DME die Koordinationszahl 4 {Li—Te 278 und 284; Si—Te 250; Li—O 200 pm (2X); Te—Li—Te 105°, Li—Te—Li 75°; O—Li—O 84°}. Der hier zu 154 pm ermittelte kovalente Radius des DME-komplexierten Lithiumatoms fällt in den auch für andere Verbindungen typischen Bereich von 155 ± 3 pm. Charakteristische Umsetzungen des Tellanids 1 führen zu [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellan (2), Methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellan (4) und Bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellan (5).
