    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Pathogenese und Mechanismen der Progression chronischer Glomerulonephritiden (GN) sind bisher nicht geklärt. Dennoch gibt es erfolgversprechende, prospektive, kontrollierte Therapie-Studien sowie neue Therapie-Ansätze. So wurden beispielsweise Patienten mit idiopathischermembranöser GN monatlich mit Chlorambucil (0,2 mg/kg/Tag) oder Prednison (0,6 mg/kg/Tag) im Wechsel über sechs Monate behandelt. Im Vergleich zu den unbehandelten zeigte sich bei den behandelten Patienten innerhalb von drei Jahren ein günstiger Verlauf der Nierenfunktionsparameter. In einer anderen Studie erhielten Patienten mitmembrano-proliferativer GN Typ I über ein Jahr täglich 975 mg Aspirin und 225 mg Dipyridamol. Bei den behandelten trat im Gegensatz zu den nichtbehandelten Patienten eine Stabilisierung der Nierenfunktion und eine Normalisierung der vorher beschleunigten Thrombozyten-Überlebensrate ein. In einer weiteren kontrollierten Therapie-Studie wurde gezeigt, daß die Langzeit-Prognose derdiffus-proliferativen Lupus-Nephritis (Typ IV WHO) besser ist, wenn eine kombinierte Behandlung mit Cyclophosphamid (100 mg/Tag) und Prednison (30 mg/Tag) über mehrere Monate erfolgt als eine alleinige Prednison-Behandlung (40 mg/Tag). Dagegen gibt es bisher bei einigen Formen der chronischen GN, z.B. derIgA-Nephritis, noch keine Evidenz für eine Therapie, die den Verlauf der Nephritis entscheidend beeinflussen kann. Neuere Therapie-Ansätze, wie die Gabe von Cyclophosphamid (über drei Monate) oder von Cyclosporin A beiglomerulärer Minimal-Läsion mit steroid-abhängigem nephrotischen Syndrom, werden in Therapie-Studien überprüft. Einige kontrolliert durchgeführte Untersuchungen weisen darauf hin, daß die Progression der chronischen GN durch eine Diät mit geringem Proteingehalt günstig beeinflußt werden kann. Der Einfluß von Eicosanoiden und deren Inhibitoren auf den Verlauf chronischer GN, speziell der glomerulären Sklerosierung, ist bisher noch nicht ausreichend untersucht worden. Insgesamt ist eine Entwicklung zu einer zunehmend differenzierten medikamentösen Behandlung der chronischen GN festzustellen, die generell durch die Bereitschaft zu einem aktiven therapeutischen Vorgehen unterstützt werden sollte.
    Notes: Summary This paper sets out the arguments for drug treatment of chronic glomerulonephritides (GN). Although the pathogenesis and mechanism of progression of chronic GN remained to be clarified, on the basis of controlled studies performed to date, there is a strong case to be made for an aggressive treatment approach to this disease spectrum. For instance, in patients with idiopathicmembranous glomerulonephritis a six months treatment with chlorambucil (0.2 mg/KG/day) or prednisone (0.6 mg/KG/day) each given once a day over a period of three months has recently been shown to improve the outcome of the renal functional parameters after three years follow up. In another controlled trial a daily dose of 225 mg dipyridamole and 975 mg aspirin given over 12 months in patients withmembrano-proliferative GN type I has been reported to normalize the increased platelet consumption rate and to stabilize the glomerular filtration rate. A third trial has demonstrated that the combined use of cyclophosphamide (100 mg/day) and prednisone (30 mg/day) over several months was superior to the use of prednisone alone (40 mg/day) in improving the long-term prognosis ofdiffuse-proliferative lupus nephritis (type IV, WHO). In some entities, however, as in IgA-nephritis there is still no evidence for a specific treatment improving the course of the chronic glomerular disease. Other therapeutic problems have to be solved: thus, in patients withminimal change nephropathy with a steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome the benefit of cyclophosphamide (given over three months) or of cyclosporin A is still being investigated. Furthermore, there is some evidence that progression of chronic GN, particularly that of glomerular sclerosing, can be prevented by a low protein diet. The role of eicosanoides and their inhibitors in this context has not yet been fully investigated. The different drug trials and new therapeutic concepts indicate a rapid development of chronic GN treatment. Therefore, a failure to treat actively is difficult to understand.

    Notes: Summary Ascites in patients with cirrhosis of the liver frequently is refractory to diuretic treatment. It was postulated that vasoconstriction of the renal cortex, mediated by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS), may be one course of the disturbed sodium- and water-excretion in these patients. We therefore investigated in 14 cirrhotic patients with ascites under constant diuretic treatment the effects of low-dose captopril therapy on urinary sodium- and potassium-excretion, body weight, abdominal girth, serum-sodium,-potassium, creatinine-clearance, plasma-renin-activity (PRA), plasma-aldosterone (PA) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). After a control period of 4 days the patients received 2 × 6.25 mg/d captopril for 5 days and 4 × 6.25 mg/d for further 5 days. Treatment was followed by a second control period without captopril. PRA increased significantly after 2 days of captopril treatment. 2 × 6.25 mg/d captopril induced a significant increase in sodium excretion and a significant decrease of body weight. MAP decreased slightly but significantly without clinical signs of hypotension. 4 × 6.25 mg/d captopril resulted in a further reduction of body weight and a further enhancement of sodium excretion. Three days after withdrawal of captopril sodium output was significantly reduced again. Conclusion: In cirrhotic patients low-dose captopril seems to be efficient in the treatment of ascites resistant to diuretics without causing major side effects.

    Notes: Summary In an open trial, the pharmacokinetics of ramipril and its active metabolite ramiprilat were studied in 25 hypertensive patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency given 5 mg ramipril p.o. for 14 days. Ramipril was rapidly absorbed and reached a peak concentration after 1–2 h. Cmax was greater in patients with severe renal insufficiency, which might indicate a reduced renal elimination rate, although, the rapid decline of the concentration-time curve for ramipril was almost independent of renal function. The mean initial apparent half-lives on Days 1 and 12, respectively, were 2.8 and 3.4 h (Group I: creatinine clearance 5–15 ml/min), 1.8 and 2.3 h (Group II: creatinine clearance 15–40 ml/min), and 1.9 and 1.9 h (Group III: creatinine clearance 40–80 ml/min). No accumulation was observed after multiple dosing. In contrast, the kinetics of its active acid metabolite ramiprilat was significantly influenced by renal function. The mean times to the peak plasma concentration were 5.7 h in Group I, 4.4 h in Group II and 3.8 h in Group III. The initial decline in plasma ramiprilat was dependent upon renal function; the mean initial apparent half-lives (Days 1 and 12, respectively) were 16.0 and 14.8 h (Group I), 10.1 and 9.5 h (Group II) and 10.6 and 8.0 h (Group III). Mean trough concentrations and absolute accumulation also increased with worsening renal function, and the renal clearance of ramiprilat was significantly correlated with the creatinine clearance. The subsequent long terminal phase at low plasma ramiprilat concentrations represented slow dissociation of the ACE-inhibitor complex. The study indicates that in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min) smaller doses of ramipril are required than in patients with normal or borderline renal function.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Wirksamkeit von rekombinantem humanem Erythropoietin (rhEpo) bei der Korrektur der Anämie des terminal niereninsuffizienten dialysepflichtigen Patienten ist in mehreren Studien belegt. Eine deutliche Verbesserung der physischen Leistungsfähigkeit konnte durch ergometrische Untersuchungen dokumentiert werden. Neben seltenen Shunt-Thrombosen ist die einzige relevante unerwünschte Wirkung von rhEpo die Entwicklung oder Aggravierung einer Hypertonie bei etwa 30% der behandelten Patienten. Bei ca. 2% der Patienten kam es zur hypertensiven Enzephalopathie mit zentralnervöser Symptomatik. Als Ursache für diese Hypertonie-Entwicklung ist ein Anstieg des peripheren Widerstands anzunehmen. Belege dafür sind Messungen des regionalen Blutflusses mit Plethysmographie vor und nach Anämie-Korrektur mit rhEpo. Ursache für den Widerstandsanstieg wiederum dürfte eine Zunahme der Vollblutviskosität und eine Abnahme der peripheren hypoxiebedingten Vasodilatation sein. Zur Prävention der hypertensiven Komplikationen bei rhEpo-Therapie werden eine langsame Hämatokrit-Korrektur über 12–16 Wochen und eine Begrenzung des Ziel-Hämatokrits auf 30–35 Vol. % bei strikter Blutdruck- und Volumenkontrolle empfohlen.
    Notes: Summary Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEpo) has been demonstrated in several studies to be effective in correcting the anemia of regular dialysis patients. This was accompanied by a significant improvement of the physical work capacity shown by exercise testing. The main side effect of rhEpo treatment has been the development or aggravation of hypertension in approximately 30% of the treated patients. In 2% hypertensive encephalopathy and convulsions occured. Data obtained by measurements of regional blood flow indicate the peripheral resistance did increase probably due to rise of blood viscosity and reversal of preexisting hypoxic vasodilatation. To avoid hypertensive complications anemia should be corrected slowly over a period of 12–16 weeks. Target hematocrit should not exceed 30–35 vol. %. Blood pressure and volume status should be monitored closely.

    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die AL-Bestrahlungstechnik bei 71 Patientinnen wies eine geringe Nebenwirkungsrate auf, es gabkeine strahlungsbedingten Fisteln, die Tumorprogredienzrate war günstig. Wegen der kurzen Behandlungsdauer von 10–15 min konnte die Bestrahlungenambulant ohne Anästhesie durchgeführt werden, es gab keine Embolien. Frühkomplikationen bestanden zumeist aus Blasenstörungen nach Einlage der intravesicalen Meßsonde. Selten gab es Darmblutungen oder Diarrhoen. Nach unseren Ergebnissen ist die Afterloading-Methode der herkömmlichen Radium-Bestrahlung deutlich überlegen.

    Notes: Summary The neural responses of 456 single units were recorded in parietal cortex of behaving monkeys during a haptic delayed matching-to-sample task. (1) In areas 2 and 5 together, 22% of the neurons were activated by the auditory cue that signalled the beginning of a trial. Virtually all of these cells were also activated during the arm movements required by the task. These neurons, showing both auditory-related and movement-related responses, may function in sensorimotor integration. (2) Responses related to arm projection frequently began before movement onset, sometimes as much as 320 ms before. Such “premovement” responses were approximately equally common, and showed the same latency distribution, in areas 2, 5a, and 5b. (3) There was a topographic rostral-to-caudal gradient of decreasing neural responsiveness to the animal's manipulation of the cue (sample) objects. Eleven percent of manipulation-activated cells responded preferentially to one of the sample objects. (4) Many cells showed sustained (〉 3 s) activation during the delay period (the time between handling of the sample object and palpation of the choice objects), even though at that time the monkey was sitting quietly and without stimulation. (5) Cells with sustained activation throughout most or all of the 18-s delay period were rare in all areas tested except area 5a. These cells, especially those that were preferentially activated depending on which sample object was palpated, may function in the temporary retention of haptic attributes. (6) The population of cells activated during sample manipulation was largely distinct from the population of cells showing sustained activation during the delay period. These two cell populations may represent different but complementary aspects of haptic perception. (7) The most common response during the delay period was sustained inhibition. This may be an expression of a nonspecific mechanism for decreasing background noise and enhancing neural responses to an anticipated perceptual event. (8) Relatively little evidence was found to support a functional distinction between the neural response properties of areas 2 and 5 a. This suggests that area 2 may be at a higher level in the somatosensory heirarchy of the posterior parietal cortex than usually considered.

    Notes: Abstract α-Parabutylchloral (2,4,6-tris(1′,1′,2′-trichloropropyl)-1,3,5-trioxane, C12H15Cl9O3) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupP212121 (No. 19) witha=12.165(6),b=9.964(5),c=17.433(9) Å,Z=4. The finalR value is 0.043 for 1667 observed reflections.β-Parabutylchloral crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupPna21 (No. 33), witha=12.387(6),b=10.488(5),c=16.605(8) Å,Z=4. The finalR value is 0.047 for 1417 observed reflections. Unlike the geometric isomersα- andβ-parachloral (CCl3CHO)3 which exist in boat andcis,cis-chair conformations, theα- andβ-forms of parabutylchloral (CH3CHClCCl2CHO)3 are now shown by X-ray crystallography not to be geometric isomers. Both forms exist incis,cis-chair conformations and the isomerism arises from the chirality of the side chains at theβ-carbon atoms. In theα-form only two of the side chains have the same chirality, but in theβ-form the chirality at all theβ-carbon atoms is the same. The X-ray results are supplemented by1H and13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by mass spectrometry.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Doppel-Optik-Simultan-Spektrometrie (DOSS) verwendet für die Messung der Untergrundintensitäten ein zweites Spektrometer, das auf Positionen nahe neben den Analytlinien eingestellt ist. Für jeden Analytkanal steht ein eigener Untergrundkanal zur Verfügung. Man braucht deshalb weder eine Blindlösung noch angepaßte Standardproben. DOSS vereinigt somit die Vorteile des räumlichen Auflösungsvermögens der Photoschicht mit der Schnelligkeit und Rauscharmut eines Photomultipliers. Die simultane Erfassung beider Signale spart Zeit und Probemenge. Sie verbessert die Nachweisgrenze in Fällen, wo das Rauschen von Plasma oder Zerstäuber dominiert. Es ergeben sich keine Nachteile gegenüber anderen Simultanspektrometern. Für die Analyse linienreicher Matrices würde ein drittes Spektrometer mehr Freiheit für die Wahl der Untergrundpositionen ergeben.
    Notes: Summary In dual optic simultaneous spectrometry (DOSS) a separate spectrometer is used for the measurement of all background-near analyte lines. Neither a blank solution nor reference samples are necessary for the determination of the background. The simultaneous measurement of gross and background signals saves time and amount of sample. Detection limits are improved in cases of dominating plasma or nebulizer noise. There are no disadvantages of DOSS as compared with conventional simultaneous instruments, except that an additional calibration step is required to account for any difference in sensitivity within the pairs of channels. A third spectrometer would offer more freedom of choice for the optimal distance between analyte and background channels and would permit estimation of background under the analyte lines by interpolation between adjacent positions. Multi Optic Simltaneous Spectrometry combines the speed of simultaneous and the versatility of sequential instruments.
