    Notes: Summary Mucous cells in the basal disk of hydra contain a peroxidase-like enzyme allowing specific staining of these cells with substrates for peroxidases. The peroxidase activity provides an excellent marker for foot mucous cell, differentiation and was used to follow the reappearance of footspecific cells during foot regeneration after amputation. By choosing the appropriate either soluble or precipitable substrate the peroxidase reaction was used both for a qualitative and for a quantitative evaluation of foot-specific differentiation in hydra. For histological studies diaminobenzidien was found to be a suitable substrate which forms a dark brown precipitate within the cells containing the peroxidase activity. For a quantitative evaluation of foot regeneration the soluble substrate 2,2-azino-di(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-sulfonic acid-6) ammonium salt was used which after reaction with the enzyme gives rise to a diffusible green reaction product the concentration of which can be measured by its specific absorption at 415 nm. Based on the diffusible enzyme product a new quantitative assay for foot regenration was developed and applied to confirm the effect and specificity of morphogenetic substances which either inhibit or activate foot or head regeneration in hydra.

    Notes: Background/Aim:  There is growing indication that differences in host response determine susceptibility and resistance to periodontal disease. Particularly, the effect of histocompatibility antigens (HLA) on early onset periodontitis (EOP) has been studied. As most of the results are not conclusive and to date no report has been done on German patients, the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of HLA alleles in a group of 50 German RPP patients and 102 German AP patients and to compare them to 102 control probands without periodontitis.Methods:  Diagnosis was established according to standardised clinical criteria. HLA typing was performed using serologic and molecular biologic (PCR-SSP) techniques.Results: Compared to the controls, RPP patients had a significantly higher frequency of HLA-DRB1*13 and a significantly lower frequency of HLA-DRBblank*(non-DRB3/4/5). AP patients showed a significantly increased occurrence of HLA-B*14 and -Cw*08 as well as a significantly decreased frequency of HLA-A*03. In both patient groups HLA-A*11 and -A*29 had an increased frequency and HLA-A*31 and -A*30/31 were decreased. These differences were statistical significant in the whole patient group (RPP + AP).Conclusions:  Based on modern DNA techniques the present study shows an association of HLA to both RPP and AP. Certain HLA alleles seem to be associated with susceptibility or resistance to periodontitis in general. However, before this knowledge can be used for differential diagnosis or prognosis, further investigations are necessary.

    Notes: We have isolated the murine sorCS3 gene, a new member of the family of receptors containing a Vps10p-domain. Receptors of this family facilitate rapid endocytosis and are thought to be involved in intracellular sorting. SorCS3 and the highly homologous sorCS1 and sorCS2 genes were expressed in a combinatorial, mostly non-overlapping pattern in both the developing and mature central nervous system. During development, distribution and abundancy of their transcripts was regulated. Moreover, their expression was differentially influenced by neuronal activity in the hippocampus of adult mice. Although kainic acid-induced seizures had no effect on sorCS2 mRNA levels, they dramatically increased the expression of sorCS1 and sorCS3. The activity-dependent induction of sorCS1 expression required de novo protein synthesis, whereas that of sorCS3 did not. Our results imply that the three sorCS genes have diverse, but partly overlapping functions in the developing and mature central nervous system.

    Notes: This in vitro study evaluated the effect of different luting procedures on the proper seating of ceramic inlays and on the marginal seal through microleakage testing. Sixty mesial-, occlusal-, distal- (MOD) cavities were prepared in third molars, and distributed among four groups. In the control group 1, the cavity surface was treated with dentin and enamel bonding agents; ceramic inlays were placed into the cavity and light cured. In group 2, the dentin and enamel bonding agents were cured prior to the placing of the inlays, and following the insertion. In group 3, the inlays were luted without enamel bonding. In group 4, the inlays were cemented using a one-bottle bonding and two times light curing. The groups with only one time light curing at the end of the luting process exhibited the smallest luting space following cementation. The smallest dye penetration values were obtained for the two groups with separate light curing of the dentin bonding agent. Reducing the film thickness of polymerized dentin bonding agents, i.e. by changing the composition of the bonding agents, could facilitate proper seating of ceramic inlays together with a better marginal seal.

    Notes: This study evaluated the influence of irradiation on dentin bond strength. Sixty irradiated and 60 non-irradiated human third molars were used. The irradiation dose of 60 Gy was fractionally applied over 6 weeks (2 Gy day−1, 5 days week−1). All teeth were prepared in a special manner allowing the simulation of intra-pulpal pressure and dentin perfusion. Dentin specimens with a thickness of 2·0 mm were obtained under standardized conditions. The specimens were randomly assigned to four experimental groups. Tensile bond strength of four different dentin bonding agents (Scotchbond™ 1, Solobond Plus®, Prime&Bond™ 2·1 and Syntac®) was evaluated using an Instron Universal testing machine. Pairwise comparison did not show any significant differences between the irradiated and non-irradiated groups. The influence of the different dentin adhesives was significant (P=0·0001; ANOVA). Compared with Solobond Plus® and Prime&Bond™ 2·1, the use of Scotchbond™ 1 resulted in a significantly higher tensile bond strength in non-irradiated specimen (P〈 0·05; closed test procedure based on Kruskal–Wallis test). Within the limitations of an in vitro study, it can be concluded that adhesive restoration procedures can be successfully used in patients irradiated for cancer of the head and neck.

    Notes: Abstract Hepatitis B viruses are DNA viruses characterized by their very small genome size and their unique replication via reverse transcription. The circular genome has been efficiently exploited, thereby limiting genome variation, and leaves no space for genes in addition to those essentially needed during the viral live cycle. Hepatitis B viruses are prototype non-cytopathic viruses causing persistent infection. Human hepatitis B virus (HBV), as well as the closely related animal viruses, most frequently are transmitted vertically from mothers to their offspring. Because infection usually persists for many years, if not lifelong, hepatitis B viruses need efficient mechanisms to hide from the immune response of the host. To escape the immune response, they exploit different strategies. Firstly, they use their structural and non-structural proteins multiplely. One of the purposes is to alter the immune response. Secondly, they replicate by establishing a pool of stable extrachromosomal transcription templates, which allow the virus to react sensitively to changes in its microenvironment by up- or downregulating gene expression. Thirdly, hepatitis B viruses replicate in the liver which is an immunopriviledged site.

    Notes: Abstract In normal human tissue high concentrations of the neuropeptide head activator are found in the hypothalamus, in the retina, and in the gastro-intestinal tract. Up to 100-fold elevated levels of head activator over neighbouring tissue were found in tumors of the brain, especially in tumors of neural origin like astrocytoma and glioblastoma, but also in meningioma. Coincident with elevated tissue levels, an increased secretion into the general circulation was observed. Elevated levels of head activator in the blood were also observed in patients with tumors in peripheral locations, especially in tumors of gastrointestinal tract and/or of neuroendocrine origin. After tumor removal, the head activator levels in the blood dropped to normal values suggesting a possible role of head activator in neuroendocrine tumorigenesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion des Cr(VI) mit Dialkyldithiocarbamaten in saurer wäßriger Lösung wurde untersucht. Als Nebenprodukte konnten, außer im Falle des fluorierten Chelates, sauerstoffhaltige Cr(III)-Chelate nachgewiesen werden. Zur capillar-gas-chromatographischen Bestimmung des Cr(VI) erwies sich das Di(trifluorethyl)dithiocarbamat, mit Einschränkung auch das Diethyldithiocarbamat, als geeignet. Mit Hilfe des Di(trifluorethyl)dithiocarbamats ist die Bestimmung des Cr(VI) im unteren ppb-Bereich möglich.
    Notes: Summary The reaction of Cr(VI) with dialkyldithiocarbamates in acid aqueous solution is investigated. Oxygen-containing Cr(III) chelates were found to be formed as byproducts, except in the case of the fluorinated chelate. For the capillary-gas-chromatographic determination of Cr(VI) di(trifluoroethyl)dithiocarbamate was suitable, with restriction also diethyldithiocarbamate. The determination of Cr(VI) was possible at the lower ppb-level with di(trifluoroethyl) dithiocarbamate.
