    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most useful marker in the early detection of prostate cancer and in the monitoring of patients with this diagnosis. Molecular forms of PSA and human kallikrein 2 (hK2) have been used to discriminate between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, as well as for the detection of prostate cancer within the gray zone of PSA. In this respect, a literature survey on the diagnostic validity of free PSA (fPSA) related to total PSA (tPSA), PSA bound to α1-antichymotrypsin (ACT-PSA), and complexed PSA (cPSA) is given together with our own results. The ratio of fPSA/tPSA has been shown to improve both sensitivity and specificity of prostate cancer diagnosis based on tPSA measurements. The number of biopsies can be reduced in the total PSA range of 4–10 μg/l. Furthermore, carcinomas can be detected in patients with PSA values less than 4 μg/l. ACT-PSA or cPSA alone and the calculated derivatives are not superior in their discriminatory power compared with tPSA and the fPSA% value. The other molecular PSA forms and hK2 are still objects of research and their diagnostic significance needs to be evaluated in more extensive clinical trials.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das prostataspezifische Antigen (PSA) ist die wichtigste Kenngröße in der Diagnostik und Therapieüberwachung des Prostatakarzinoms. Zur besseren Abgrenzung zwischen benigner Prostatahyperplasie (BPH) und Prostatakarzinom, aber auch zur Früherkennung des Prostatakarzinoms haben sich die molekularen Formen des PSA und neuerdings auch das humane Kallikrein 2 (hK2) als wertvolle Entscheidungshilfen erwiesen. Es wird eine Literaturübersicht über bisher vorliegende Informationen zur Aussagekraft des freien PSA (fPSA) in Relation zum Gesamt-PSA (tPSA), des an α1-Antichymotrypsin gebundenen PSA (ACT-PSA) und des komplexierten PSA (cPSA) zusammen mit eigenen Resultaten gegeben. Der Quotient fPSA/tPSA (fPSA%) hat sich bereits als eine wichtige Entscheidungsgröße in der urologischen Praxis etabliert, mit der Sensitivität und Spezifität der Prostatakarzinomdiagnostik verbessert werden. Die Zahl von Prostatastanzbiopsien im tPSA-Bereich 4–10 μg/l kann damit reduziert und bei tPSA-Werten 〈4 μg/l können zusätzlich unerkannte Karzinompatienten identifiziert werden. Ein diagnostischer Vorteil der alleinigen Bestimmung des gebundenen PSA bzw. der entsprechenden Quotienten (ACT-PSA/tPSA oder cPSA/tPSA) im Vergleich zum fPSA% konnte bisher nicht sicher nachgewiesen werden. Die Bestimmungen der anderen molekularen PSA-Formen und des hK2 sind noch weitgehend Gegenstand der Forschung bzw. erfordern noch entsprechende klinische Evaluierungen.

    Notes: Abstract We report the first observation of the doubly magic nucleus78Ni50 and the heavy isotopes77Ni,73,74,75Co,80Cu. The isotopes were produced by nuclear fission in collisions of 750 A·MeV projectiles of238U on Be target nuclei. The fully-stripped fission products were separated in-flight by the fragment separator FRS and identified event-by-event by measuring the magnetic rigidity, the trajectory, the energy deposit, and the time of flight. Production cross-sections and fission yields for the new Ni-isotopes are given.

    Notes: Abstract Energy transfer and pigment arrangement in intact cells of the green sulfur bacteria Prosthecochloris aestuarii, Chlorobium vibrioforme and chlorobium phaeovibrioides, containing bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c, d or e as main light harvesting pigment, respectively, were studied by means of absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism and linear dichroism spectroscopy at low temperature. The results indicate a very similar composition of the antenna in the three species and a very similar structure of main light harvesting components, the chlorosome and the membrane-bound BChl a protein. In all three species the Qy transition dipoles of BChl c, d or e are oriented approximately parallel to the long axis of the chlorosome. Absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra demonstrate the presence of at least two BChl c-e pools in the chlorosomes of all three species, long-wavelength absorbing BChls being closest to the membrane. In C. phaeovibrioides, energy from BChl e is transferred with an efficiency of 25% to the chlorosomal BChl a at 6 K, whereas the efficiency of transfer from BChl e to the BChl a protein is 10%. These numbers are compatible with the hypothesis that the chlorosomal BChl a is an intermediary in the energy transfer from the chlorosome to the membrane.

    Notes: Abstract The Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO)-protein and the FMO-reaction center (RC) core complex from the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum were examined at 6 K by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The absorption spectrum of the RC core complex was obtained by a subtraction method and found to have fiye peaks in the QY region, at 797, 808, 818, 834 and 837 nm. The efficiency of energy transfer from carotenoid to bacteriochlorophyll a in the RC core complex was 23% at 6 K, and from the FMO-protein to the core it was 35%. Energy transfer from the FMO-protein to the core complex was also measured in isolated membranes of Prosthecochloris aestuarii from the action spectra of charge separation. Again, a low efficiency of energy transfer was obtained, both at 6 K and at room temperature.
