    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary Prostate cancer has become the most common cancer in males in Western countries. In the United States 317000 men were newly diagnosed with this disease in 1996. Screening efforts will identify increasing numbers of men who will be scheduled for prostate biopsy. Since the progression of prostate cancer varies widely from rapid tumor growth with early distant metastases to slow growth with good prognosis, it is of utmost importance that prognostic parameters be identified which allow the course of the disease to be predicted. Thus, the correct pathohistological staging, the evaluation of different grading systems, and the biological impact of positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy requires collaboration between urologists and pathologists.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung Das Prostatakarzinom ist mittlerweile der häufigste Tumor des Mannes in den westlichen Industrieländern. In den USA wurde im Jahr 1996 ein solches Karzinom bei 317000 Männern diagnostiziert. Durch intensivierte Screeningbemühungen werden immer mehr Männer einer Prostatabiopsie zugeführt. Die Progression des Prostatakarzinoms reicht von einem schnellen Tumorwachstum mit frühzeitiger Metastasierung bis hin zu einem langsamen Wachstum mit guter Prognose. Aus diesem Grund ist es von großer Bedeutung, prognostische Parameter zu identifizieren, die eine Aussage zum Krankheitsverlauf ermöglichen. Neben der Identifizierung von Prognosefaktoren erfordert die korrekte pathohistologische Klassifizierung, die Evaluation von Gradingsystemen und die Beurteilung der biologischen Bedeutung positiver Absetzungsränder nach radikaler Prostatektomie die enge Kooperation zwischen Urologen und Pathologen.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Bei unbestritten hoher Effektivität kann die transurethrale Elektroresektion der Prostata (TURP) durch möglichen intraoperativen Blutverlust eine erhöhte Morbidität aufweisen. Dies ist eine Tatsache, die in den letzten Jahren zur Entwicklung zahlreicher alternativer Behandlungsmethoden geführt hat. Zur Minderung des Blutungsrisikos haben wir in mehreren Stufen eine Verbesserung der Hochfrequenztechnik entwickelt. Hierbei wurden durch geeignete Modifizierung der Elektronik handelsüblicher Hochfrequenz-Generatoren die ausgehenden Spannungs- und Stromsignale derartig moduliert, daß während jedes einzelnen Schnittes bei weiter bestehender guter Schneidequalität eine in das Gewebe hineinreichende effiziente Koagulationszone entsteht. Sowohl Laborexperimente und In-vitro-Versuche an Schweinenieren wie auch die durchgeführten klinischen Studien ergaben bei guten Schneideeigenschaften eine deutliche Reduktion der Blutungsbereitschaft und damit des Blutverlustes. So konnten Fremdblutgaben reduziert und die Gesamtmorbidität mit kürzerer Katheterverweildauer bei ebenso gekürztem stationärem Aufenthalt deutlich gesenkt werden.
    Notizen: Summary In spite of the high and lasting efficiency of transurethral prostatectomy, intraoperative blood loss results in increased morbidity in this procedure. This led to the development of many alternative treatment modalities in the last years. To minimize the risk of bleeding, we improved the high-frequency technology in several steps. To achieve this, the output signals of commercially available high-frequency generators were modulated to the effect that each cut results in an efficient coagulation zone in the tissue at excellent cutting quality. Laboratory and in vitro studies using porcine kidneys as well as clinical trials showed good cutting characteristics accompanied by a significant reduction of bleeding. As a result, blood transfusions were less necessary, the transurethral catheter could be removed earlier in the postoperative period, and hospitalization time was significantly reduced. In conclusion, the improved high-frequency technology in form of the “coagulating intermittent cutting” results in a blood-sparing tissue resection with a consecutive reduction of morbidity.

    Notizen: Summary Although ADPKD is one of the first kidney diseases to be understood from the gene to the pathogenesis of clinical abnormalities, there were no data concerning the renal handling of amino acids and possible disorders of amino acid (AA) pattern in these patients. Therefore, in 9 patients suffering from ADPKD and in 8 healthy normal persons (NP) renal amino acid excretion was measured before and after extracellular volume expansion (ECVE) (21 of physiological electrolyte solution). Renal function was stable in both groups (serum creatinine: ADPKD: 85.1 ± 18.4 vs. NP 84.4 ± 13.5 μmol/l; GFR: 93.8 ± 16.4 vs. 104.4 ± 9.4 ml/min/1.73 m2). Mean blood pressure was higher in ADPKD patients than in NP (99.4 ± 2.6 vs. 85.5 ± 2.4 mmHg), but did not change after ECVE. After ECVE in both groups, urine volume increased distinctly, whereas GFR was only slightly enhanced. The plasma concentrations of leucine, glycine, valine, threonine, glutamine, and alanine were significantly higher in controls than in ADPKD patients. The amino acid reabsorption capacity was reduced in ADPKD patients in 12 of 21 amino acids before ECVE. After ECVE, the fractional excretion of amino acids (FEAA) increased only in NP. In parallel with changes in amino acid handling, the FENa (%) after ECVE increased both in ADPKD patients and in NP (before ECVE - ADPKD: 1.22 ± 0.23 vs. NP: 1.53 ± 0.23; after ECVE: 3.17 ± 0.25 (ADPKD) vs. 2.74 ± 0.22/NP; (ADPKD p ≤ 0.01, NP p ≤ 0.02) whereas FELi (%) increased significantly only in ADPKD (p ≤ 0.045) range (before ECVE - ADPKD: 25.8 ± 8.9 vs. NP: 20.5 ± 4.0; after ECVE: 41.4 ±15.4 vs. 25.2 ± 3.9). Furthermore, concentrations of cGMP (pmol/ml) in plasma increased after ECVE (before ECVE - ADPKD: 5.31 ± 0.56 vs. NP: 6.65 ±0.79; after ECVE: 11.31 ± 1.66 vs. 11.30 ± 1.91; p ≤ 0.05). Na+-dependent and, perhaps, NO-mediated processes in the reabsorption of AA in the proximal tubule seem to be different in ADPKD and may be related to different distributions of receptors and ATP-dependent transport systems with pathogenetic impact on abnormal transtubular fluid transport in ADPKD.

    Notizen: Zum Thema Wohl selten hat die Neuentwicklung eines Medikaments ein derart breites Interesse des Laienpublikums erregt und eine vergleichbare Beachtung in den Nachrichtenmedien gefunden wie das in den USA entwickelte und vor kurzer Zeit auf den Markt gekommene Sildenafil. Wie ebenfalls kaum verwunderlich ist, werden nicht minder tatsächliche oder vermeintliche Nebenwirkungen diskutiert. Um die Größenordnung potientieller Anwender aufzuzeigen: hierzulande geht man hochgerechnet von ca. 4–6 Millionen Männern mit unterschiedlich ausgeprägter erektiler Dysfunktion aus. Grundsätzliche Erwägungen und befürchtete gravierende Auswirkungen auf die Kostenentwicklung im Gesundheitswesen haben dazu geführt, daß die gesetzlichen Krankenkassen die Kostenübernahme für Sildenafil jedenfalls vorerst ablehnen. Ärztliche Information scheint dringend geboten, um die Männer zu selektieren, die von einer Sildenafiltherapie profitieren könnten und um die auszuschließen, bei denen Sildenafil wegen Kontraindikationen nicht angewendet werden sollte. In dieser Übersicht werden Wirkungsmechanismus, Pharmakokinetik, Dosierung, Anwendungsrichtlinien, Neben- und Wechselwirkungen sowie Ergebnisse klinischer Studien bezüglich Sildenafil dargestellt und diskutiert.

    Notizen: Abstract The results of cytotoxic chemotherapy for advanced, hormone-escaped prostate cancer have been disappointing. Evaluation of the effect of new drugs or new combinations with already known ones is required. The antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been shown to be active in prostate cancer, acting via inhibition of thymidylate synthase, an essential enzyme in DNA de novo synthesis. Experiments with cell lines of different tumors have shown that 5-FU activity can be modulated by addition of the coenzyme tetrahydrofolic acid (folinic acid). We investigated the effect of folinic acid and its stereoisomers on 5-FU action in different cell lines of prostate cancer. It was found that addition of non-toxic folinic acid led to a two- to fourfold better antiproliferative effect of 5-FU. The unnatural 6R isomer, which is a compound of chemically synthesized folinic acid, inhibited the modulatory effect of the natural 6S isomer. Our results indicated that a combination of folinic acid and 5-FU may result in a better response of patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer than of patients treated with 5-FU alone.

    Notizen: Abstract We report on a novel protocol involving iridium 192 high-dose-rate brachytherapy and follow-up of up to 130 months in patients with prostatic carcinoma. Using regional anesthesia, five to seven hollow needles are placed within the prostate by perineal puncture under ultrasound guidance. A 9-Gy prostate dose is applied followed by 30 min of hyperthermia (since 1991). This treatment is repeated once after 7 days; 2 weeks later, 18 × 2-Gy external beam radiation (small-field prostate) is added as percutaneous dose saturation. Since 1984 we have treated 40 patients with this protocol. Local tumor control was achieved by means of prostatic biopsy at 18 months after therapy and determination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values in bout 70% of the patients; after a mean follow-up period of more than 6 years (16–130 months), 80% of the patients show either no evidence of disease or stable disease. We therefore conclude that iridium 192 high-dose-rate brachytherapy is a useful alternative in the treatment of localized prostate cancer in patients who are not eligible for radical prostatectomy.

    Notizen: Abstract Kinesiologic EMG measurements show that the pelvic floor muscles are capable of both continuing activity and brisk reactivity; although some variability in the amount and characteristics of motor unit activity and recruitment could be demonstrated from different sites in the pubococcygeus muscles, the activation or inhibition of firing of motor units in the pelvic floor muscles of healthy females was always found to be concordant bilaterally. In contrast, we have demonstrated significantly shorter maximal voluntary activation times, unilateral pubococcygeus activation disturbances, and even paradoxical unilateral inhibition of motor unit firing in the pelvic floor muscles of urinary incontinent women. As the particular human motor control patterns of the pelvic floor muscles — as they relate to the continence and excretory functions — are philogenetically rather recent, we postulate that they are therefore vulnerable and easily disturbed by even minor denervation injuries (as has been demonstrated in women after vaginal deliveries). We further postulate that such disturbances lead to deficient performance of the pelvic floor muscles, and contribute to the development of incontinence.

    Notizen: Abstract First reproducible results from potentiometric investigations with chromite electrodes on YSZ have shown a similar behaviour as the well known gold electrodes. Based on these experiences, oxide components particularly gallium doped lanthanum chromites with a perovskite structure and their chemical characterisation will be introduced. Several methods were used for the preparation of the chromite powders in various compositions. In addition, the structural and spectroscopic characterization and the results of potentiometric measurements of the corresponding electrode will be described.

    Notizen: Abstract The interface between gold electrodes and the solid electrolyte Zr0.86Y0.14O1.93 (YSZ) was chemically modified in several ways. Nb2O5 was obtained in two states: as an X-ray amorphous surface layer after vacuum evaporation and dissolved in YSZ after annealing at 1150 °C. This was confirmed by X-ray diffraction with grazing incidence and Bragg-Brentano technique. On the metal side the modification was made by potentiostatic deposition of the electronically conducting perovskite La1-xSrxCrO3 and subsequent annealing at 1000 °C. The influence of these modifications on the electrode potential in gases containing oxygen and propylene at temperatures ≤700 °C was investigated. The known sensitivity of the Au electrode to propylene is nearly maintained after both Nb2O5 modifications of the solid electrolyte. After modification with the chromite layer, the sensitivity to propylene disappeared completely in gas mixtures with excess oxygen. Strong differences in the sensitivity caused by chemical modifications can possibly be utilized in hydrocarbon sensors.

    Notizen: Abstract Perovskite-type mixed oxides with the formula La1−xAxMe1−yByO3±δ (x=0.01...0.2; y=0.01...0.5; A=Ca, Sr; Me=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co; B=Mg, Ga) were investigated with the aim to use the oxides as electrode materials for galvanic cells with Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 solid electrolytes (YSZ). The catalytic activity of the oxides for the oxidation, reduction and decomposition of gas components was varied by changing the transition metal and by partial substitution of lanthanum and the metal. The behaviour of different substituted lanthanum chromite/YSZ and manganite/YSZ electrodes in the presence of nitric oxides (NOx) and combustible components (CHx) in gases containing oxygen was investigated. Various electrode combinations were tested in gas-symmetrical cells. For the NO determination cells with a catalytically active Pt electrode and a La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 electrode with a low catalytic activity for the decomposition of NO were used. The results show the possible quantitative measurement at low and constant p(O2) on the basis of a calibration. For the determination of C3H6 a CHx-sensitive Au and an O2-sensitive La0.99Sr0.01CrO3 electrode were combined in a potentiometric thick film sensor. In gases containing oxygen with small amounts of C3H6 the sensor provided a utilizable voltage in dependence of the C3H6 concentration.
