    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Augenlinse kann durch einfallendes Licht und Sauerstoff photooxidativ so geschädigt werden, daß eine Trübung bzw. ein Katarakt entsteht. Sauerstoffradikale schädigen nicht nur die Kristalline, spezialisierte Linsenproteine, die Aggregate bilden und präzipitieren, sondern sie greifen auch proteolytische Enzyme an, deren Funktion es wäre, die geschädigten Proteine zu eliminieren. Neben einem enzymatischen Abwehrsystem gegen Sauerstoffradikale, bestehend aus Superoxiddismutase, Katalase und Glutathionperoxidase, enthält die Linse die antioxidativen Vitamine C und E und evtl. Betakarotin. Tierversuche an verschiedenen Spezies haben sowohl in vitro als auch in vivo eine Schutzwirkung gegen lichtinduzierte Kataraktbildung aufgezeigt. Eine ähnliche Wirkung war gegen Zucker- und Steroidkatarakte nachweisbar. Epidemiologische Studien am Menschen haben gezeigt, daß Personen mit vergleichsweise höherer Einnahme bzw. höheren Blutkonzentrationen antioxidativer Vitamine ein vermindertes Risiko der Kataraktbildung haben. Diese positiven Befunde rechtfertigen die Durchführung breit angelegter Interventionsstudien mit antioxidativen Vitaminen am Menschen.
    Notes: Summary The ocular lens, which is continually exposed to light and ambient oxygen, is at high risk of photooxidative damage resulting in cataract. Oxygen free radicals appear to impair not only lens crystallins which will aggregate and precipitate forming opacities but also proteolytic enzymes whose function it would be to eliminate the damaged proteins. Apart from an enzymatic defense system consisting of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase against excited oxygen species the lens contains the antioxidant vitamins C, E and presumably β-carotene as another line of defense. In vitro and in vivo studies in different animal species have demonstrated a significant protective effect of vitamins C and E against light-induced cataract. Sugar and steroid cataracts were prevented as well. Epidemiological evidence in humans suggests that persons with comparatively higher intakes or blood concentrations of antioxidant vitamins are at a reduced risk of cataract development. These positive findings established by several research groups justify extensive intervention trials with antioxidant vitamins in humans using presenile cataract development as a model.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Experimental animals may serve as models for human beings, if analogies between animal and human functions exist. Therefore, the selection of species and strain plays an important role in the development of such models. Knowledge of the nutritional and physiological characteristics of a species is a prerequisite for the composition of complete diets. Often, preliminary work has to begin at the breeding farm in order to make use of such curative models possible. Only when the high requirements of standardization of experimental animals are met can clinical and subclinical symptoms be determined distinctly. By means of sensitive biochemical reactions, imbalances and interactions of nutritive and active ingredients, as well as successful substitutions, can be recorded. The study of absorption and metabolism of preparations is made possible by observing these reactions. However, negative influence on the results of analysis must be eliminated by correct selection of narcotics, and the proper excision and storage of organs. Because of its importance for the planning and evaluation of experiments, biometry is an integral part of every research project. The scientific information which must be gained from the whole experimental animal cannot be substituted by either isolated organs and cell cultures, or by means of computer simulation. A demanding effort, which includes biotechnological methods, is necessary to further reduce the number of experimental animals and, simultaneously, to enhance experimental evidence. In any case, all scientific aims must be in accordance with the ethical principles of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Versuchstiere können als Modell für den Menschen herangezogen werden, wenn Analogien zwischen tierischen und menschlichen Funktionen bestehen. Deshalb kommt der Wahl von Spezies und Stamm bei der Entwicklung solcher Modelle eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Die Kenntnis der ernährungsphysiologischen Besonderheiten einer Spezies ist die Voraussetzung für die Herstellung vollwertiger Diäten. Oft sind Vorleistungen bereits in der Zuchtstation zu erbringen, um kurative Modelle überhaupt erst anwenden zu können. Nur wenn die hohen Anforderungen an die Standardisierung des tierexperimentellen Teiles einer Untersuchung erfüllt sind, können klinische und subklinische Symptome eindeutig zugeordnet werden. Mit empfindlichen biochemischen Reaktionen lassen sich sowohl Imbalanzen und Interaktionen von Nähr- und Wirkstoffen sowie Substitutionserfolge erfassen. Ebenso können die Resorption und der Stoffwechsel von Präparaten verfolgt werden. Negative Auswirkungen auf das Analysenergebnis sind bereits bei der Wahl des Narkotikums, der Entnahme und Lagerung von Organproben auszuschließen. Wegen ihrer Bedeutung für die Planung und Auswertung stellt auch die Biometrie einen integrierenden Bestandteil eines jeden Forschungsprojektes dar. Die am Ganztier erzielte wissenschaftliche Information kann weder mit isolierten Organen und Zellkulturen, noch mit Hilfe simulierender Computersysteme erreicht werden. Große Anstrengungen, auch unter Einbeziehung biotechnologischer Methoden, sind erforderlich, um die Tierzahlen weiterhin zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Aussagekraft der Experimente zu erhöhen. In jedem Fall jedoch müssen die wissenschaftlichen Zielsetzungen mit den ethischen Anliegen des Tierschutzes in Einklang gebracht werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A fat emulsion containing 20% fat as medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and long chain triglycerides (LCT) (1∶1) was injected as a bolus in an amount of 0.2 g fat per kg body weight to six patients, three to five days after a serious injury. Triglyceride concentrations increased within two min in lipoprotein fractions d〈0.95 g/ml (Chylomicrons), d〈1.006 g/ml (VLDL), d〈1.063 g/ml (LDL) and d〈1.21 g/ml (HDL). Sixty minutes after injection triglyceride concentrations had again reached preexperimental values in all lipoprotein fractions. Cholesterol values did not change. According to the composition of the fat emulsion, linoleic acid content increased in triglycerides of all lipoprotein fractions, whereas octanoic and decanoic acid did so only in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (d〈1.006). Half-life values of elimination of octanoic acid (3.3 min) and decanoic acid (3.9 min) in triglycerides of lipoprotein fraction d〈1.006 were nearly half as short as that of long chain fatty acids (linoleic acid, 6.4 min; oleic acid, 6.5 min; palmitic acid, 7.5 min). Thus in contrast to LCT, MCT are only found in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (d〈1.006) and are also eliminated more rapidly.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Eine Fettemulsion mit 20% Fett aus mittelkettigen Triglyceriden (MCT) und langkettigen Triglyceriden (LCT) (1∶1) wurde als Bolus in einer Menge von 0,2 g Fett pro kg Körpergewicht bei 6 Patienten 3–5 Tage nach einem schweren Unfall injiziert. Die Triglyceridkonzentrationen stiegen innerhalb von 2 Minuten in den Lipoproteinfraktionen d〈0,95 g/ml (Chylomikronen), d〈1,006 g/ ml (VLDL), d〈1,063 g/ml (LDL) und d〈1,21 g/ml (HDL) an. 60 Minuten nach der Injektion hatten die Triglyceridkonzentrationen bereits wieder in allen Lipoproteinfraktionen dsie Vorwerte erreicht. Die Cholesterinkonzentrationen änderten sich nicht. Entsprechend der Zusammensetzung der Fettemulsion nahm der Linolsäureanteil in den Triglyceriden aller Lipoproteinfraktionen zu, während Octansäure und Decansäure nur in den triglyceridreichen Lipoproteinen (d〈1,006) anstiegen. Die Halbwertszeiten der Elimination der Octansäure (3,3 min) und Decansäure (3,9 min) in den Triglyceriden der Lipoproteinfraktion d〈1,006 waren fast halb so kurz wie die der langkettigen Fettsäuren (Linolsäure, 6,4 min; Ölsäure, 6,5 min; Palmitinsäure, 7,5 min). Demzufolge findet man im Gegensatz zu den LCT die MCT nur in den triglyceridreichen Lipoproteinen (d〈1,006), und sie werden daraus auch rascher eliminiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Sekretion von retinolbindendem Protein (RBP) ins Blut von Ziegen wurde nach unterschiedlicher Verabreichung von Vitamin A (Retinylacetat), Β-Carotin und einer Mischung von pflanzlichen Carotinoiden untersucht. Die Zufuhr dieser Verbindungen — entweder in einer einzelnen hohen Dosis oder in der gleichen Menge gleichmäßig auf 4 Tagesdosen verteilt — führte zu einem deutlichen Anstieg der RBP-Sekretion. Diese Sekretion erfolgte in zwei Phasen, von denen eine früh und eine später einsetzte.
    Notes: Summary Studies were conducted on the secretion of retinol-binding protein (RBP) in blood of goats given different treatments of preformed vitamin A, Β-carotene and plant carotenoids. Administration of these sources either in a single massive dose or massive dose split into four equal doses, markedly increased the secretion of RBP in blood. The secretion of RBP in blood occurred at least in two phases, one at early periods and the other at later periods.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Tabakprotein wurde im Ames-Test und in drei In-vivo-Tests auf Mutagenität geprüft. In den Salmonellenstämmen TA 98 und TA 100 bewirkten Methanolextrakte des Tabakproteins und der Urin von Ratten, die mit Tabakprotein gefüttert waren, erhöhte Revertantenzahlen, nicht aber Fäzesextrakte. Im Mikrokerntest wurden durchgehend schwach positive Effekte des Tabakproteins in Chinesischen Hamstern und zwei Mäuse-Inzuchtstämmen erzielt, desgleichen im Chromosomenaberrationstest und im SCE-Test an Chinesischen Hamstern. Die in den analytischen Angaben des Tabakproteins ausgewiesenen Substanzen Nikotin, Chlorogensäure und Rutin wurden einzeln im Chromosomenaberrationstest geprüft. Dabei wurde das Nikotin als der verantwortliche Faktor oder einer der verantwortlichen Faktoren für die schwach positiven Testergebnisse erkannt.
    Notes: Summary Tobacco protein was assayed for mutagenicity using the Ames test and three in vivo tests. In the Salmonella strains TA 98 and TA 100 methanolic extracts of the tobacco protein and urine of rats fed tobacco protein exhibited increased revertant numbers, but extracts of feces did not. Using the micronucleus test throughout, weak mutagenic effects after feeding the tobacco protein were detected in Chinese hamsters and two inbred strains of mice, and again in Chinese hamsters when the chromosome aberration test and the SCE test were applied. The analytical specifications of the tobacco protein listed nicotine, chlorogenic acid and rutin as components. These were examined separately in a chromosome aberration test, and nicotine was discovered to be the factor or a factor responsible for the weak positive test results.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The change of tryptophan contents in proteins of bread and cookies under technological processing conditions were investigated. Tryptophan contents in all cookie samples were noted to be significantly (p=0.05) reduced in relation to corresponding dough. The relative decreases are significantly correlated with fat content and the degree of unsaturation of fats in the dough of cookies (r=0.802 and r=0.777, p=0.01), independently of various physical parameters during different cookie samples' processing. Tryptophan decrease in proteins of bread during baking was not significant.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß des technologischen Herstellungsprozesses auf die Gehaltsveränderung von Tryptophan in Brot- und Kekseiweißen untersucht. Es wurde eine signifikante (p=0,05) Tryptophanabnahme bei dem Backen der verschiedenen Keksarten festgestellt. Diese Abnahme korreliert linear mit dem Lipidgehalt und dem Gehalt an ungesättigten Fettsäuren der entsprechenden Keksteige (r=0,802 bzw. r=0,777 bei p=0,01), unabhängig von bedeutenden Schwankungen der physikalischen Parameter im Produktionsprozeß der verschiedenen Keksarten. Bei Brot blieb der Tryptophangehalt während des Backens praktisch unverändert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Beziehungen zwischen Ernährungsfaktoren und Gesundheit in epidemiologischen Studien sind oft inkonsistent. Eine der möglichen Ursachen für diese Gegebenheit kann darin liegen, daß die Vielzahl der potentiellen Ernährungsdimensionen in der spezifischen Untersuchungssituation in unzulänglichem Maße berücksichtigt wurden. Solche Dimensionsbereiche sind vor allem die physiologische Individualität von Menschen, deren verschiedenen Lebensumwelten und die zahlreichen Interdependenzen zwischen Ernährungsvariablen. Diese Tatsachen sollten in ernährungsepidemiologischen Studien dadurch besser erfaßt werden, daß sowohl die Studienmodelle als auch die Datenanalysen entsprechend ausgerichtet werden. Anstelle von Untersuchungen an heterogenen Stichproben ist es ratsam, sich auf spezifische „Typen“ zu konzentrieren, wobei gemäß dem jeweiligen Studienziel solche „Typen“ aus den physiologischen Besonderheiten (z. B. Cholesterinempfindlichkeit), aus biologisch-konstitutionellen Faktoren (z. B. Körperbau-Typus), aus Lebensstil-Eigenschaften oder anderen Faktorenbereichen abgeleitet werden können. Die Variationsbreite der Ernährungsfaktoren geht über die üblicherweise verwendeten Nährstoffdimensionen hinaus, doch sie läßt sich durch integrierte Indizes — die „Nahrungsmuster“ — zusammenfassen. Zu solchen „Nahrungsmustern“ kann man auf verschiedene Weise kommen. Sie können aus Theorien abgeleitet werden und zu bestimmten Bewertungsrastern führen. Man kann sie aber auch mittels multivariater statistischer Analyse suchen. Die prinzipiellen Wege, die zu „Nahrungsmustern“ führen, werden dargestellt und diskutiert. Die hier vorgestellten und diskutierten Ideen leiten zu einem verbesserten Untersuchungsmodell für ernährungsepidemiologische Studien über. Die „Nahrungsmuster“ nehmen dabei eine wichtige Position ein. Man kann annehmen, daß durch diesen Untersuchungsansatz neue Erkenntnisse über die Beziehungen zwischen Ernährung und Gesundheit sichtbar werden, die helfen, den bisher noch diffusen Untersuchungsbereichen klare Konturen zu geben.
    Notes: Summary The relation between nutritional factors and health investigated in epidemiological studies are often inconsistent. One of the reasons for such findings can be the improper addressing of the multitude of nutritional dimensions in the specific study situation such as physiological individuality of human beings, different living conditions, or numerous interdependencies between nutritional variables. Epidemiological research in nutrition and health should recognize such facts and work with appropiate study models and adequate data analyses. Instead of investigating heterogenous populations it is advisable to concentrate on specific “types” of people. Under consideration of the study goals such “types” can be compiled according to physiological properties, e.g., cholesterol sensitivity, or biological-constitutional factors such as body build, life-style entities, or other factors. The variety of nutrition factors far beyond the commonly applied nutrient values can be expressed in integrated indices of “food patterns”. Such “food patterns” can be derived in many ways. They can be deduced from theories by using specific criteria, but also explored by modern multivariate statistical analyses. The ways leading to “food patterns” are discussed. The ideas presented and discussed in this paper lead to an improved model for research in the field of nutrition and health with integrated indices of “food patterns” as the critical point. It is assumed that using this approach will generate new insight in the relation of nutrition and health, a currently still diffuse research area.

After 28 days, no effects of the minerals were found on liver cholesterol concentrations and rates of fecal excretion of bile acids.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Eine Substitution mit 5 mg/100 g Vitamin C im Futter stellt für Meerschweinchen anscheinend die untere Grenze dar, um ein Überleben zu ermöglichen. Sie scheinen keine Möglichkeit zu haben, den Stoffwechsel der Ascorbinsäure an diese niedrige Substitution zu adaptieren. Meerschweinchen, die über lange Zeit (6–8 Wochen) 20 mg/100 g oder 680 mg/100 g Vitamin C im Futter erhalten hatten, zeigen, nachdem der Vitamin-C-Gehalt im Futter drastisch verändert worden ist, bei den Ascorbinsäurespiegeln mehrerer Organe das für eine ablaufende Adaptation typische Überbzw. Unterschwingen.
    Notes: Summary Guinea pigs supplied with 5 mg/100 g vitamin in the food seem to be at the marginal substitution for a survival and show no ability to adapt the ascorbic acid metabolism to this low support. Guinea pigs longlastingly (6–8 weeks) supplied with 20 mg/100g or 680 mg/100g vitamin C in the food show the typical symptoms of an evolving adaptation by an overshooting in the course of the ascorbic acid levels in several organs after a switch to an extremely different vitamin C supply.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Osteoporosis primarily affects women and is a bone disease of great socialmedical and economic importance. The pathogenesis is thought to be of multifactorial origin. The current work discusses nutritional aspects relative to osteoporosis. In this aspect, calcium supply seems to have the largest preventional importance. In contrast, food statistics and individual food records show that calcium intake of females is below the DGE's recommendation of 800 mg/daily. Furthermore, in view of skeletal integrity, calcium intake should be increased up to 1,500 mg/daily after menopause, because of endocrinological changes in calcium metabolism. Therefore, calcium intake on the whole is usually found to not be sufficient. The importance of further nutritional aspects for manifestation of osteoporosis are discussed. In some cases, influences on skeletal integrity are quite evident, whereas the literature has only infrequently drawn conclusions about the pathogenesis of osteoporosis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Osteoporose ist eine Knochenerkrankung mit großer sozialmedizinischer und volkswirtschaftlicher Bedeutung, von der überwiegend Frauen betroffen sind. Die Pathogenese der Erkrankung ist multifaktoriell. Der derzeitige Kenntnisstand über die Bedeutung alimentärer Faktoren wird in diesem Zusammenhang dargestellt. Größte präventive Bedeutung besteht seitens der Ernährung in einer ausreichenden Calciumversorgung. Verzehrsstatistiken und individuelle Verzehrsprotokolle zeigen dagegen, daß die Versorgung mit Calcium beim weiblichen Geschlecht im Durchschnitt unter der Empfehlung der DGE von 800 mg/d liegt. Hinzu kommt, daß zur Aufrechterhaltung der Knochenhomöostase aufgrund endokriner Umstellungen im Calciumstoffwechsel empfohlen wird, nach der Menopause die Calciumaufnahme auf 1500 mg/d zu steigern. Die Versorgungslage mit Calcium ist somit insgesamt als sehr unzureichend anzusehen. Weitere ernährungsbedingte Faktoren mit Bedeutung für eine Osteoporosemanifestation werden diskutiert. In einigen Fällen ist hierdurch eine Beeinflussung der Knochenhomöostase durchaus denkbar, häufig ist das Datenmaterial allerdings noch zu unvollständig oder fehlt völlig, um Zusammenhänge zur Osteoporoseentstehung herstellen zu können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ausreichende Vitamin-A-Speicher und -Gewebslevel werden durch ein Gleichgewicht von Nachfrage der Gewebe nach Vitamin A und der Vitamin-A-Aufnahme durch die Nahrung aufrechterhalten und durch viele Faktoren beeinflußt. Es ist hinreichend bekannt, daß polyhalogenierte aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe (PHAH) die Vitamin-A-Speicher der Leber erniedrigen. Neuere Untersuchungen deuten darauf hin, daß die Erniedrigung der Vitamin-A-Leberspeicher von einem Anstieg des Vitamin-A-Gehaltes in Serum und Niere sowie von einer erhöhten Abgabe von Vitamin-A-Metaboliten in Urin und Fäzes begleitet sind. Die Untersuchung der Vitamin-A-Verteilung in verschiedenen Geweben zeigte, daß die Zufuhr von PHAH zu einem verstärkten Auftreten polarer Vitamin-A-Metaboliten führt. Es ist wahrscheinlich, daß die PHAH Enzyme beeinflussen, die entscheidend für die Regulation von Vitamin-A-Speichern sowie der Aktivität von für den Vitamin-A-Stoffwechsel wichtigen Enzymen sind.
    Notes: Summary Adequate stores and adequate tissue levels of vitamin A are maintained by a balance of tissue demands and dietary intake of the vitamin and are modified by many factors, including xenobiotics. It is well established that exposure to polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAH) decreases hepatic content of vitamin A. Recent findings indicate that hepatic depletion of vitamin A is accompanied by an increase in serum and renal vitamin A content and enhanced excretion of vitamin A metabolites in urine and feces. Examination of tissue retinoid profiles reveals that PHAH exposure causes the generation of increased amounts of polar retinoids. It is very likely that PHAH affect enzymes crucial for regulation of vitamin A storage as well as enhance activities of specific enzymes in vitamin A metabolic pathway.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An erwachsenen männlichen Weißbüscheläffchen (Callithrix jacchus) erfolgten Stickstoffbilanzmessungen bei Verfütterung von „halbsynthetischen“ und „synthetischen“ Diäten mit Proteingehalten von null bis sieben Prozent. Der tägliche Stickstoffverlust bei längerer proteinfreier Ernährung („Abnutzungsquote“) betrug 131±16 mg/kg Körpergewicht0,75. Eine N-Bilanz =±0 wurde mit der Zufuhr von 261 mg N/kg0,75 in Form hochwertiger Proteine erreicht. Sehr geringe Proteinaufnahme oder das Fehlen von Arginin und Histidin in einer Aminosäurenmischung führte zu Koprophagie. Es wird gefolgert, daß der Proteinbedarf erwachsener Krallenaffen dem des erwachsenen Menschen (auf der Basis des metabolischen Körpergewichts) sehr ähnlich ist. Etwa 6–7% Protein hoher Qualität, auf Trockensubstanz bezogen, genügen zur Vermeidung einer negativen Stickstoffbilanz.
    Notes: Summary Nitrogen balance studies were conducted in adult male marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) using purified and semipurified diets with protein levels between 0% and 7%. Daily nitrogen loss in a state of prolonged protein free nutrition was 131±16 mg/kg body weight0.75. Zero nitrogen balance resulted from mean daily intake of 261 mg nitrogen/kg0.75 when high quality protein sources were used. Very low protein intake or the lack of arginine and histidine in an amino acid mixture induced coprophagy. It is concluded that the protein requirement of adult marmosets is very similar to the protein requirement of adult humans (based on metabolic body weight). About 6–7% high quality protein, based on dry matter, suffice to avoid a negative nitrogen balance in all individuals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The high value of clinical nutrition as an important component in polypragmatic therapy of severely ill patients with increasing age and restricted compensatory capacity is today unquestioned. The areas of interest and applications have reached a high degree of complexity by many differentiations. The metabolic interrelations under pathological conditions influence especially the application of amino acids. By the enormously increased standards of analytical procedures and instruments huge amounts of data have been gathered but methods and tools for interpreting the complex analytical results have not been developed to the same degree. Considering physiological, pathological biochemical, and biophysical alterations, this review discusses application of amino acids, evaluation and interpretation procedures, as well as indications, contraindications, and effective monitoring. The important regulatory function of the liver in connection with the urea production rate, and the physiological pattern and concentrations of amino acids in plasma are both discussed in detail. Also discussed is the therapeutic advantage of determining total concentration and relative composition of the amino acid pool in plasma, especially in severely ill patients.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der hohe Stellenwert der klinischen Ernährungstherapie ist in der heutigen polypragmatischen Therapie schwerstkranker und zum Teil sehr alter Patienten mit eingeschränkter Kompensationsfähigkeit unbestritten. Das Einsatzfeld der klinischen Ernährungstherapie hat dadurch eine starke Differenzierung und einen hohen Komplizitätsgrad erreicht. Diese Wechselbeziehung des pathologischen Ablaufs im Stoffwechsel nach äußeren und inneren Belastungen und den einzelnen Substraten betrifft im hohen Maße die Anwendung von Aminosäuren. Durch die enorme Zunahme der analytischen Leistungsfähigkeit ist das Erkenntnismaterial im Bereich der Aminosäurenversorgung zwar stark angewachsen, aber die Interpretation des komplexen Zusammenhangs der Aminosäuren keineswegs in gleicher Weise verbessert worden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird auf dem grobskizzierten Hintergrund physiologischer und pathologischer Stoffwechselzusammenhänge der Einsatz von Aminosäuren dergestalt abgehandelt, daß über eine plausible Interpretation der komplexen analytischen Daten die Indikation, Kontraindikation und überwachung der Aminosäurenapplikation verständlich wird. Vor allem die Bedeutung der Regulation durch die Leber, der Zusammenhang mit der Harnstoffproduktionsrate sowie die differente Bedeutung der mikromolaren und relativen Aminosäurenmuster im Plasma werden so abgehandelt, daß sie für die Interpretation auch schwerkranker Zustände herangezogen werden können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Iron is an essential trace element. In its heme-form as well as in its non heme-form it is a part of enzymes and hemoproteins. For a safe and adequate dietary intake 10–18 mg of iron are recommended daily. Frequently, this quantity is not available: approximately 20 % of the world population is iron-deficient. In this state the enteral transfer capacity for toxic metals, e.g., Cd and Pb, is increased and the adaptation to physical strain as well as the immunological responses are depressed. Alterations of body iron-stores are almost exclusively balanced by adequate adaptation of the enteral iron-transfer capacity. The mechanism of this adaptation process can neither be satisfactorily explained by the “mucosal block hypothesis”, nor by the “mucosal transferrin hypothesis”. When the time-course of iron storage and its relation to intestinal iron transfer was investigated after i.v. iron administration to iron-deficient rats, the results indicated that the process of adaptation is located in the intestinal mucosa. Intestinal iron loading is decreased in iron deficiency, whereas the iron transfer into the organism is increased. Further investigation is necessary to find out by which mechanism the iron manages to bypass existing mucosal storage capacity in this situation. The geographical distribution of iron deficiency is influenced by a variety of local factors. Still, the paramount causes of iron-deficiency are unbalanced iron losses and the lack of bioavailable iron in the diet. The bioavailability of non heme iron is influenced by the composition of the diet. The effect of promotors of iron absorption, such as meat, amino acids, polycarbonic acids and ascorbate is opposed by the influence of inhibitors, such as bran, soyaproducts, vegetables and egg-dishes. Iron losses are mainly due to blood losses. Thus, the wide distribution of hockworm diseases in tropical areas contributes significantly to the endemic iron-deficiency in these regions. A more physiological loss of iron is caused by menstruation and pregnancy. In small infants the iron-demand of the organism is increased by rapid growth, which in turn increases the intestinal iron transfer. An increased iron-demand can be balanced by an iron-supplemented diet or by pharmaceutical iron compounds. Acute intoxications can be caused by an overdose of such preparations. The pathophysiology and symptoms of acute iron intoxication are summarized. Their frequency has markedly decreased since “childproof” packaging has been introduced for iron-preparations. To meet the increased iron demand of young children, commercial infant formulas are frequently fortified with iron, preferentially with heme-iron. Inlight of the wide distribution of iron-deficiency a general iron fortification of staple food items is discussed controversially.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Eisen zählt zu den essentiellen Spurenelementen. Es ist in seiner Häm- und Non-Häm-Form Bestandteil von Hämproteinen und Enzymen. Für eine ausreichende und sichere Versorgung des Organismus werden 10 mg bis 18 mg Eisen in der täglichen Diät empfohlen. Diese Menge wird erheblich häufiger unterals überschritten: Ca. 20 % der Weltbevölkerung haben einen Eisenmangel, der sich u.a. in einer gesteigerten enteralen Resorptionsfähigkeit für Cd und Pb äußert sowie in einer Einschränkung der physischen Leistungsfähigkeit und der Infektabwehr. Veränderungen im Körpereisenstatus werden fast ausschließlich durch Anpassung der enteralen Eisenresorption bedarfsgerecht ausgeglichen. Der Mechanismus dieser Anpassung kann weder durch „Mucosa-Block-Hypothese“ noch durch die „Mucosal-Transferrin“-Hypothese befriedigend erklärt werden. Kinetische Untersuchungen an eisenarmen Ratten über die Speicherung parenteral gegebenen Eisens und die Auswirkungen dieser Gabe auf die Eisenresorption deuten jedoch auf einen lokalen Adaptationsprozeß in der intestinalen Mukosa. Dabei ist die Beladung der Mukosa mit angebotenem Eisen im Eisenmangel herabgesetzt, der Transfer dagegen erhöht. Wie das Eisen in diesem Zustand an den vorhandenen Speicherkapazitäten der Mukosa vorbeigeleitet wird, bedarf weiterer Klärung. Die geographische Verteilung des Eisenmangels unterliegt einer Reihe lokaler Einflüsse. Hauptursachen des Eisenmangels sind der Mangel an bioverfügbarem Eisen in der Nahrung und unausgeglichene Eisenverluste. Die Bioverfügbarkeit von Non-Häm-Eisen in der Nahrung wird durch die Zusammensetzung der Diät beeinflußt. Resorptionsfördernde Komponenten wie Fleisch, Aminosäuren, Polycarbonsäuren und Ascorbat saldieren sich in der Wirkung mit Hemmstoffen der Eisenresorption wie z.B. Kleie und Sojaprodukte, Gemüse und Eispeisen. Eisenverluste sind in erster Linie Blutverluste, wobei der in den Tropen verbreitete Befall mit Hakenwürmern starken Anteil an dem dort endemischen Eisenmangel hat. Andere, eher physiologische Eisenverluste entstehen durch Menstruation und Schwangerschaft. Während des raschen Wachstums im Säuglingsalter entsteht ebenfalls ein stark erhöhter Eisenbedarf, der zu gesteigertem Eisentransfer führt. Erhöhter Eisenbedarf kann durch medikamentöse Eisensubstitution oder durch adäquate Ernährung gedeckt werden. Eisenmedikamente können jedoch bei nicht bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch zu akuten Intoxikationen führen, deren Bild detailliert beschrieben wird. Die Inzidenz solcher Vergiftungen ist seit Einführung „kindersicherer“ Verpackungen für Eisenpräparate stark zurückgegangen. Zur Deckung des durch Wachstum erhöhten Eisenbedarfs wird kommerzielle Säuglingsbeikost häufig mit Eisen fortifiziert, wobei Häm-Eisen die größeren Vorzüge bietet. Eine allgemeine Fortifikation von Grundnahrungsmitteln mit Eisen ist jedoch trotz der weiten Verbreitung des Eisenmangels stark umstritten.

    Notes: Summary A promising field of laser utilization is the modification of cell behaviour. Acting on cell biological functions it might be possible to use them to improve medical therapies. This possibility suggests investigation of dosimetry guidelines employing different wavelenghts, power and exposure durations for future potential use of lasers in medicine. In this line of investigation, structural organization and viability of fibroblast has been studied, thus observing that the cell number remains unaltered by low density laser irradiation. Nevertheless, results observed in metabolism variation suggest that, with appropiate irradiation-protocol an efficient modality for enhancement or modulation of cell activity can be found, and thereafter used for therapeutical pourposes.

    Notes: Summary Response of rabbit ear blood vessels and defects on the pig skin to Argon and CO2 lasers, (1 to 4 Watts and 0,1 to 0,2 sec pulses), were analysed. Examining lesion depth and its diameter, it was seen, using both lasers, that when power and time exposure increased, lesion depth increased as well, At the same time, when power was increased and the time of irradiation was constant, the diameter of the lesion remained approximately the same. Histologically, by using Argon laser at 1'5 W, there is no evidence of skin lesion but vessel coagulation occurs. On the other hand, more power (3 to 4 W) produces skin destruction. CO2 laser at 1'5 W causes skin destruction while 3 W penetrates deeper, cutting all tissues and producing vessel-wall fragmentation and haemorrhage. In contrast to CO2 laser, which definitly stops blood circulation by cutting the vessels, Argon laser entails many recurrences and vessels re-start circulation; a fact which is not desirable in cutaneous vascular disorders treatment.

    Notes: Abstract Until now there are no national safety regulations for the medical use of lasers in the Netherlands. However, a committee of experts from hospitals, Health Council of the Netherlands, TNO Medical Technology Unit and industry is preparing recommendations. Their work is based on MPE values and special measurements that are performed to assess divergence and intensity distribution of laser beams, as well as optical and thermal properties of materials that are used in the clinical setting. The final intention of the committee is to advise government and hospitals on technical, environmental and administrative measures for the safety of the various medical laser applications.

    Notes: Abstract Accident prevention regulations, e.g. VBG 93 “Laser Radiation”, are a national particularity in the FRG. The regulations issued by the injuries insurance institutes are binding upon employers and employees. The apparatus and equipment safety law makes the VBG 93 obligatory also for manufacturers and importers. National and international standards are referred to in relevant context in the VBG 93. The VBG 93 is also used by the governmental authorities for the protection of labour. The medical apparatus decree has to be observed also for medical application. Some important aspects of the VBG 93 will be described in detail.

    Notes: Abstract In general “Dose” by itself as an amount of energy is not a relevant parameter for the description of penetration by non-ionizing (laser) radiation. But dosimetry should not only include the measurements of relevant parameters and its relatioships to tissue effects but also include all possibilities of measurements and relationships which help to control the biological result on tissue by irraditation with non-ionizing laser radiation.

    Notes: Abstract Three different lasers were compared under the same conditions for their effectiveness at producing photodynamic damage to normal colon following sensitization with aluminium sulphonated phthalocyanine (AlSPc). One laser was an argon ion pumped continuous wave (CW) dye laser and the other two were pulsed at 10 kHz (copper vapour laser pumped dye laser, and 5 Hz (flashlamp pumped dye laser). The CW and 10 kHz laser were equally effective at producing damage. The 5 Hz laser failed to produce a photodynamic effect, although occasionally caused a photomechanical effect when the laser fibre was placed touching the colonic mucosa. Quantitative analysis suggests that the high energy pulses of the flashlamp pumped dye laser saturate AlSPc, so very little of the available energy can be used to produce a photodynamic effect, in contrast to the two other lasers which do not produce saturation conditions.

    Notes: Abstract An anatomo-pathological study was undertaken to evaluate the early effects of high and low powered non-contact mode of YAG laser on pulmonary tissue and to compare these effects with those resulting from electro-diathermy. In 40 patients with bronchial carcinoma, thoracotomy was carried out using conventional surgical methods, the part of the lung destined to be excised was then exposed to: Non-contact YAG laser of high or low power (Group A, n=15); cutting/ or coagulation electro-diathermy (Group B,n=15); and mixed (blend) cutting and coagulation electro-diathermy (Group C,n=10). The results indicated that high power non-contact YAG laser is capable of incising the pulmonary parenchyma without bleeding or air leak, only the larger and sub-segmental vessels and bronchial branches needed suturing. This was not the case for electro-diathermy, either in its cutting or blend form. The low power laser was capable of sealing off the superficial bleeding vessels and contracting the alveolar sacs, thus preventing bleeding and air leak. Only the superficial bleeding could be stopped by coagulation diathermy which had no effect in preventing air leak from the parenchyma. Microscopically, apart from evaporation, laser produced charring and coagulative necrosis in the remaining exposed tissue. No evaporation of tissue occurred with electro-diathermy (either in its cutting, blend or coagulation mode). Only a very limited charring and coagulative necrosis was present in the remaining tissues exposed to coagulation electro-diathermy.

    Notes: Abstract We report on nineteen patients who successfully underwent open lung performance with a Nd-YAG laser in the period December 1987 to August 1988. Reasons for laser operations were lung metastases (twelve cases), lung fibrosis (five patients), one lung cyst and one tuberculoma. We used the Nd-YAG laser in non-contact mode, with focus hand-piece spot size of 1.5 mm, a continual 1064 nm wavelength and a power output 90 W. In these nineteen cases we performed 35 laser photoablations of lung tissue. All patients healed without any serious complications. The major advantage of Nd-YAG laser beam in open lung surgery is in the rapid sealing effect of small airways and of blood vessels up to 3 mm. The Nd-YAG laser seems to be very suitable for operations in lung periphery.

    Notes: Abstract In a previous project on haematoporphyrin (HP) uptake by experimentally induced cholesteatoma of the rabbit, it was shown that HP concentration was remarkably high in the cholesteatoma, with a peak at three hours after intravenous administration of the drug. On the basis of these results an attempt was made to destroy the matrix of cholesteatoma by means of photodynamic therapy. Cholesteatomas were induced bilaterally in the ears of eight rabbits which were divided into two groups, according to the interval between HP administration (5 mg/kg body weight) and irradiation. The irradiation was carried out with light at 600–680 nm, filtered from the emission a quartz halogen lamp (dose rate 300 mW cm−2; total dose 120 J cm−2). The first group was submitted to photodynamic therapy after three hours and the second after twelve hours. In both groups half the rabbits were sacrificed at 24 h and half at 48 h post-irradiation. Histological studies showed significant vascular lesions, necrosis of the wall of the cholesteatoma, interstitial extravasation of blood, and oedema in a high percentage of the animals. The lesions were much greater in animals sacrificed at 48 h after photodynamic therapy.

    Notes: Abstract The treatments of 250 patients with the CO2 laser is described. The procedures were performed under local anaesthesia with minimal instrumentation apart from the laser. Operations were rapid and relatively bloodless, and excellent cosmetic and functional results were obtained. In the post-operative period there was minimal oedema and no significant bleeding. Post-operative pain was also minimal allowing patients to resume their normal diet on the first post-operative day and to return to work. The experience gained with this first group of patients suggests that ideal cases for treatment by this modality include leukoplakia, haemangiomas, epulis and prosthesis fibromas. The CO2 laser is now being used to a lesser extent on in-patients and on those with malignant lesions.

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated laser-induced fluorescence frompost mortem human arteries in order to find spectroscopic properties allowing discrimination between normal and atherosclerotic vessel wall. A pulsed nitrogen laser emitting light at a wavelength of 337.1 nm was used as an excitation source. The fluorescence spectrum from 370 to 700 nm was captured and analysed by an optical multichannel analyser. Dimensionless contrast functions were formed by using characteristic spectral features at 390, 415, 480, 580 and 600 nm. All samples were investigated in scans across a region where normal as well as diseased vessel wall appeared. The types of plaque were histopathologically divided into four groups, of which three could be singled out using one or more of our spectroscopic criteria. We also investigated the different layers of the normal and diseased vessel wall in order to determine the various contributions to the fluorescence signal. Furthermore, plasma emission spectra were recorded while ablating the normal as well as the diseased vessel wall with an excimer laser, emitting radiation at 308 nm, thus detecting the change in spectral characteristics during the ablation process down into deeper layers.

    Notes: Abstract In the study, 120 patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumours were treated by PDT; 5 mg/kg of HpD was intravenously given 48–72 h prior to PDT. The light source was an argon dye laser with an output beam of 630 nm. The irradiation time varied from 15–25 min with a power of 100–350 mW cm−2. The entire tumour was irradiated with a light dose of 100–250 J cm−2. Of the 120 patients, 20 had cancer of esophagus, 72 had cancer of the gastric cardia, 18 had cancer of the stomach and 10 had cancer of the rectum. Eighty-eight patients (73.3%) had a response to PDT. Twelve patients with CR were followed up for one to five years, two patients died during the two years after PDT.

    Notes: Abstract Laser-induced fluorescence has been used for the identification of brain tumours in rats, which have been previously given tumour-seeking haematoporphyrin derivative. A pulsed nitrogen laser (λ=337 nm) was used in conjunction with an optical multichannel analyzer. For both inoculated RG-2 and TCVC rat-brain-tumour models, the blue autofluorescence was strongly reduced in the tumour compared with normal brain tissue, and at the same time the characteristic red-drug signal increased. The contrast between tumour and normal tissue was strongly enhanced by forming the ratio between the two signals. Implications for possible improvement of tumour delineation in brain tumour surgery are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Twenty rats underwent a crush injury to their sciatic nerve, followed immediately by a single low-power coherent or non-coherent irradiation administered transcutaneously on the projection of an injured peripheral nerve. Five wavelengths were tested: 632.8, 660, 830, 880 and 950 nm. The electrical activities of the crushed nerve, immediately after irradiation and on the following first, third and seventh day post-crush, were compared to the precrush activity. The results indicate that energy at the wavelength of 632.8 nm (CW He-Ne laser), delivered transcutaneously (10 J cm−2 at each point) along the projections of the nerve, prevents the drop in the functional nerve activity as measured by the combined action potential (AP) after crush injury. Other wavelengths were either less effective (660 nm) or totally ineffective under the same conditions. The beneficial effects were temporary and lasted only one day after injury and the single irradiation session.

    Notes: Abstract Sixty-two consecutive patients presenting with facial port-wine stains were examined by transcutaneous microscopy prior to argon laser treatment. The capillary morphology was classified and the late outcome was independently examined and scored. It was found that capillary appearances do have some value in predicting a favourable response and in predicting scarring.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of continuous-wave argon laser radiation on the growth of solid Ehrlich carcinoma was studied in mice. To enhance the tumour sensitivity to laser radiation, compounds of a porphyrin series were given to animals prior to the laser treatment. Out of 14 substances tested, tetraphenylporphyn-sulphonate and its palladium complex had the most pronounced photosensitizing activity comparable with that of haematoporphyrin derivative (HPD). Metallic complexes of tetraphenylporphyn and protoporphyrin were less active. It is concluded that porphyrins are promising sensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT).

    Notes: Abstract This is the report of a pilot study in which the technique of photodynamic therapy (PDT)—in which malignant tissues are destroyed by light after being previously photosensitized by haematoporphyrin or its derivative—was performed using a high power argon-dye laser system which operated at 630±5 nm and optical fibres with either a microlens or a diffusing tip. A total of thirty-seven patients were utilized for this study, including twenty-five patients affected by esophageal carcinoma, five by recurrences of head and neck cancer, four by gastric cancer and three by lung cancer. Among the sixteen cases with superficial or localized cancer of the esophagus, complete and partial responses were observed in seven and six patients, respectively. In advanced and recurring cancers less satisfactory results were obtained. Thus, PDT seems to be useful in cases of small superficial cancers, either primary or recurrent after previous treatments.

    Notes: Summary Proton NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) for polyaniline doped with HCl were measured at 90MHz over a temperature range of 110–430K. A narrow line with a width of about 1–2KHz superimposed on broad NMR peak was observed above 210K, and it was tentatively assigned to the protons in dopant and absorbed water. The analysis of linewidths and second moments for the broad lines reveal two distinct relaxation processes with activation energies of 1.9 and 7.8Kcal./mole,respectively. The former may be associated with the motion of the dopant and water absorbed and the latter with the rotation of benzoid ring about C-N bond axis. The second moment data suggest that the twist angle between the adjacent rings decreases with rising the doping ratio. Proton NMR relaxation rate was fitted with a theoretical equation containing the contributions from nuclear dipolar interaction and from electron-proton interaction, Rd and Rp, respectively.Rd is negligible below room temperature and Rp has little change above 100K. The total relaxation rate is dominated by Rp near room temperature.

    Notes: Summary The emulsion polymerization of styrene was performed at 50°C with a mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants using different surfactant concentrations. In the single-surfactant systems, a proportional relationship was observed between the total particle surface area per cm3 of aqueous solution at 90% conversion (TS) and the amount of surfactant used for each polymerization. For mixed-surfactant systems an additivity was established between the TS value and surfactant composition. The study of the particle size data from low to high conversion showed that the particle number changed with conversion.

    Notes: Summary The terpolymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline, 2-alkyl-2-oxazoline (alkyl = n-butyl, n-octyl, n-dodecyl), and 2,2′-tetramethylenebis(2-oxazoline) was carried out with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate initiator. The obtained gel was isolated in a moderate yield after Soxhlet extraction. The resulting gel showed a characteristic property as an amphiphilic gel (amphigel), i.e., it was swollen both in water and in organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), n-propanol, 1,2-dichloroethane, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether (diglyme) and toluene.

    Notes: Summary In this work a simple microhardness test to evaluate the degree of chain braching in butene-ethylene copolymers is proposed. The random introduction into the chain of co-units, reduces the level of crystallinity in the copolymer, a characteristic easily measurable through indentation experiments. A comparative study between density and microhardness values in samples with different concentration of chain braching is presented.

    Notes: Summary The weight-average MW and number-average Mn molecular weights of gum arabic are identical after a proteolysis treatment with pronase. The value (1.8×105) is closed from Mn early reported in the literature whereas MW before treatment are dispersed for a large lot of samples up to more 106. This can be interpreted by the “wattle blossom” model for which some homogeneous chains of molecular weight c.a. 2.105 are still linked to a protein core, the crude gum being a mixture of this complex and free chains.

    Notes: Abstract A rapid microanalytical method has been developed for the determination of very small amounts of chlorine in polymers. The gist of the method comprises quantitative dechlorination by sodium biphenyl or dehydrochlorination bytert-BuOK, aqueous extraction of the Cl⊖ formed, followed by [Cl⊖] quantitation by chloride ion selective electrode (CSE). The method has been tested and is now used routinely for chlorine end group quantitation of telechelic polyisobutylene (PIB), poly(2,4,6-trimethylstyrene) (PTMSt), and poly(p-chlorostyrene) (PpClSt).

Well-definedtert-chlorine terminated polyisobutylenes ( $$^{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{t} } Cl - PIB - Cl^{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{t} } $$ ) have been obtained at suitably low IB and DiOAcDMH 6 = concentrations in the −30° to 0°C range. Theoretical $$Cl^{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{t} } $$ end functionality ¯Fn ∼2.0 ±0.1 was demonstrated by dechlorination with sodium biphenyl coupled with titration using a chloride ion selective electrode, and by1H NMR spectroscopy. The $$^{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{t} } Cl - PIB - Cl^{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{t} } $$ was quantitatively dehydrochlorinated to ∼CH2C(CH3) =CH2 capped PIBs which in turn were quantitatively converted by hydroboration/peroxidation to ∼CH2CH(CH3)CH2OH ended PIBs. The internal ∼C(CH3)2CH=CHC(CH3)2∼ initiator fragment in the polymer remains unchanged during end group functionalizations due to steric protection by thegem-dimethyl groups and the polymer chain.

    Notes: Summary To prepare dextran-linked benzene polycarboxylic acids which are stable in-vivo, the acids were allowed to react with aminated dextrans in water, in the presence of a water-soluble carbodiimide. Under these conditions, ester linkages are formed preferentially to amide ones, probably because of the formation of intramolecular cyclic anhydrides promoted by the carbodiimide. Thus, with benzoic acid, esterification also took place, but to a much lesser extent.

    Notes: Summary Organophophites are being used with varying degree of effectiveness to suppress transesterification in polyester blends. Using solid state31p NMR it was discovered that for bis(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite a conversion of the phosphite group to a phosphonate moiety, probably via hydrolysis, is a prerequisite for an effective inhibition of transesterification. This conversion occurs readily during melt compounding if the polymers are not completely dry. However, if rigorous drying is employed and phosphite conversion does not occur, then transesterification is not arrested. It was also found that over a long period of time the conversion of the phosphite to a phosphonate takes place at room temperature as well. Thus, after aging for about a year, the originally ineffective compound, has become a very effective inhibitor of transesterification in blends containing polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, and polyarylate.

    Notes: Summary Plasma polymerization of mixtures of fluorobenzenes (perfluorobenzene (PFB), pentafluorobenzene (PnFB), and tetrafluorobenzene (TFB)) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) is carried out for preparation of plasma polymers containing both fluorine and sulfur moieties. The chemical composition of the polymers is inspected by FT/IR and XPS, and the ion-exchange capacity and the electrical conductivity are measured. Plasma polymers prepared from these mixtures are fluro polymers with either of sulfonic acid or sulfinic acid groups. The ion-exchange capacity is 0.49 (for polymers from the PFB/SO2 mixture), 0.94 (for those from the PnFB/SO2 mixture), and 1.31 meq/g-polyer (for those from the TFB/SO2 mixture). The electrical conductivity at a relative humidity of 70 %RH is 8.3 × 10−9, 3.6 × 10−7, and 4.3 × 10−5 S/cm, respectively.

    Notes: Summary Imide-aryl ether benzoxazole multiblock copolymers were investigated. A key feature of these copolymers was the preparation of bis(amino) terminated aryl ether benzoxazole oligomers (PBO) via a novel nucleophilic aromatic displacement polymerization. Oligomers with number average molecular weights of 10,500 and 26,000 g/mol were prepared, which displayed Tg's of 210 and 227°C, respectively. The oligomers were co-reacted with 4,4′-oxydianaline (ODA) and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) diethyl ester diacyl chloride in a NMP/ cyclohexanone solvent mixture in the presence of N-methylmorpholine. The resulting amic ester-aryl ether benzoxazole copolymers were isolated and washed to remove homopolymer contamination. Copolymer compositions were analyzed by 13C NMR. Solutions of the copolymers were cast and cured to effect the imidization, affording tough films with high elongations. Multiphase morphologies were obtained for both of the PBO block lengths used in the copolymerization.

    Notes: Summary The monoclinic and orthorhombic conformers of Poly(3,3-Diethyl oxetane) can be obtained depending on crystallization temperature. However, if the crystallization of a given modification is unaccomplished, the other modification can be crystallized from the amorphous phase. The molecular vibrations in the region 700–800 cm−1, which are associated with the “breathing” mode, are highly dependent on the conformation of the polymer chain. This band is used to study the influence of the temperatures and times of crystallization on the structural modifications of this polymer.

    Notes: Summary At 50°C, trioctyl methyl ammonium salts influence the rate of bulk polymerization of methylmetacrylate initiated by dibenzoyl peroxide. Acetate increases it, chloride, chlorate, and bromate increase it only on start, hydroxide, bromide, tetrachlorozincate, trifluoroacetate and trifluoromethanesulfonate decrease it, iodide and dichromate inhibit the polymerization, whereas fluoride, perchlorate, some (substituted) benzoates as well as sulfonates do not change the reaction rate. The influence on kinetic parameters of polymerization and the formation of intermediates and products suggest that the exchange of anions between the quaternary ammonium salt and dibenzoyl peroxide is the primary mechanism of action of these salts and other effects accompany it.

    Notes: Summary In order to enhance the miscibility of poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(butyl acrylate), pyridyl and carboxylic acid groups were introduced on the comonent polymer chains by free radical copolymerization. Differential scanning calorimetry shows that the blend of component polymers containing less than 10 mole% of carboxylic acid and pyridyl groups is immiscible, but the blend of more than 10 mole% become partially to completely miscible as the functionality increases. The chemical interaction between carboxylic acid and pyridyl group in the blend was manifested by a blue shift of 9 cm−1in the infrared stretching frequency of pyridyl group.

    Notes: Summary The dielectric relaxation processes in polyurethanes based on 4,4′-dibenzyle diisocyanate and saturated polyester in the temperature range of 250–400°K using thermally stimulated depolarization currents method have been investigated. The structure of the relaxation thermograms, location and intensity of the constituent peaks depend both on the precipitation temperature and thermal history of the polymer. The relaxation processes have been associated with the molecular motions within domains with distinct morphological structures. The morphological structure of the samples was evidenced using electron microscopy method.

    Notes: Summary It is shown that Tg data of PS/PaMS blends are influenced by the pressure applied during the preparation of compression-moulded samples. It is supposed the pressure favours the chain alignment of stiffer polymers in the neighborhood of binary contacts, contributing thus to the reduction of the freee volume. As a consequence compression-moulded samples will show increased Tg temperatures compared with those of the solution blended samples.

    Notes: Abstract Higashimura reported living cationic polymerization by the CH3OOOEt/AlEtCl2/C6H5CH3 /IBVE system, however, the mechanism was obscure and the high mole ratio of CH3OOOEt/ AlEtCl2 (50/1) was unusual. To elucidate these facts the AAlEtCl2·CH3OOOEt complex was investigated in detail by 1H-NMR, IR and UV spectroscopies. It was found that CH3OOOEt was the true initiator, AlEtCl2 the coinitiator, and the ester bond the active bond. UV spectra show complexation competitions of AlEtCl2 with C6H5CH3, CH3OOOEt and H2O. Living polymerizations occur only when the CH3OOOEt/AlEtCl2 ratio is sufficiently high. The growing bands from 324 to 327nm correspond to living complexes and indicate constant monomer insertion and complex formation during propagation.

    Notes: Summary New aromatic polyimides and polyamide-imides containing azomethine linkages in the polymer backbone have been synthesized by reacting 4,4′-bis(isocyanato) benzylidene aniline (AZMI) with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3′, 4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and trimellitic anhydride (TMA) by one-step method. The AZMI was synthesized from 4,4′-bis(carboxy) benzylidene aniline (AZMA) by a Weinstock modified curtius rearrangement. All the polycondensation reactions were carried out in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and the polymers obtained were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, solution viscosity, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction.

    Notes: Summary Graft copolymers with uniform poly(propylene oxide) grafts were synthesized by the radical copolymerization of poly(propylene oxide) methacrylate macromonomers and methyl methacrylate. The macromonomers were prepared by reaction of bifunctional poly(propylene oxide) and methacryloyl chloride. The graft copolymers were readily soluble in chloroform, tetrahydrofuran and toluene at room temperature. Copolymers with 23% of poly(propylene oxide) grafts were soluble in hot methanol and above this composition were soluble in methanol at room temperature. The graft copolymers were characterized by GPC, viscometry, IR and 1H NMR spectra.

    Notes: Summary The molecular weight dependence of the fluorescence properties of poly (α-methylstyrene) (PMS) was investigated in cyclohexane solution. The ratio of excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity increases with increasing degree of polymerization up to ∼ 50 after which the plateau value does not change. This molecular weight dependence of the excimer formation appears to be related to that of the local motion of PMS in fluid solution.

    Notes: Summary Deoxophostone family(2-phenyl-1,2-oxaphospholane1a, 2-phenyl-1,2-oxaphosphorlane1b, and 2-phenyl-1,2-thiaphospholane1c) copolymerized with acrylic acid without catalyst to produce the corresponding copolymers. The polymerization proceeded via a cyclic acyloxyphosphorane to produce poly-(phosphine oxide — ester)3a(or3b) from1a(or1b) and poly(phosphine oxide — thiolester)3c from1c, respectively, with acrylic acid. It is of interest that the copolymer from1c with acrylic acid was not poly(phosphine sulfide — ester)4 but3c. The reactions of1a or1b with pyruvic acid or 1,3-propane sultone were also investigated.

    Notes: Summary Aluminum alkoxides carrying functional alkoxy groups are effective initiators for theɛ-caprolactone polymerization in toluene and tetrahydrofuran. The coordination-insertion type of polymerization is living and yields exclusively linear polyesters of a predictable molecular weight with a narrow molecular weight distribution within the period of time required for the total monomer conversion. The functional group associated to the active alkoxy group of the initiator is selectively attached to one chain-end, and the second end-group is systematically a hydroxyl function resulting from the hydrolysis of the living growing site. Asymmetric telechelic polyesters are thus obtained in a perfectly controlled way, including macromonomers. Beside (meth)acrylic double bond, the functional end-group derived from the initiator can be, for instance, an unsaturation, a halogen and a tert-amine. Coupling the asymmetric telechelic polymer via the OH end-group (or the precursor Al alkoxide end-group) is a direct way to the related symmetric telechelic of a twofold increased molecular weight.

    Notes: Abstract The bulk self-initiated polymerization kinetics, assuming total conversion, of the 4-vinyl biphenyl was determined by differential thermal analysis (DTA) in the temperature range 463–533 K. Likewise, the overall activation energy, Ea, and the polymerization enthalpies involved in the process have been calculated, as well as the overall rate constants and the reaction order with respect to the monomer concentration.

    Notes: Abstract The copolymerization of maleic anhydride (MAn) with phenyl-4′-vinylphenylbutadiyne(PVPB) was carried out using 2, 2′-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. Although PVPB does not homopolymerize by free radicals in solution, it copolymerized giving copolymers having average molecular weights up to 12,000, and consisting of slightly more PVPB units. The monomer reactivity ratios were estimated to be r (MAn)=0 and r (PVPB) =0.1–0.2. It was concluded that the copolymerization likely proceeds via a free monomer propagation mechanism rather than through a donor-acceptor complex mechanism.

    Notes: Summary A simple method is described for suppression of the influence of stray light on the quantitative measurement of the intensity of the fluorescence from dilute solutions of weak emitters. The method improves the reliability of the measurements of the fluorescence quantum yield under these conditions. It is also useful in the evaluation of the ratio of the intensities of excimer and monomer emission in systems that form intramolecular excimers with a small overlap of the monomer and excimer bands.

    Notes: Summary Polyacetylene was doped with evaporated iodine (I2). The characteristics of A1/cis-[CHIy]x/Au Schottky barrier solar cell was investigated. It is found that the maximum conversion efficiency is 2.67%. The solar cell parameters, such as open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Jsc), fill factor (F.F.), and energy conversion efficiency (η), were measured under the various incident light intensity. The stability of the cell was also estimated by the variation of J-V curves in argon environment.

    Notes: Summary Using simple model compounds the oligomerization of glycidyl ethers accelerated by imidazole and imidazole derivatives was investigated. The formation of oligomers depending on 1,3-diphenoxy-2-hydroxypropane as their starting compound was predominant. In the case of imidazole 1,2-dihydroxy-3-phenoxypropane and the resulting oligomers are further formed. It seems to be obvious that this reaction also occurs in the absence of water. An over-all reaction mechanism including both the main products of the glycidyl ether oligomerization formed and the different imidazole compounds investigated is proposed.

    Notes: Summary Products from the reaction of acids with glycidyl esters of other acids were analyzed by13C-NMR-spectroscopy and HPLC. Besides the two isomeric structures that are normally formed during the ring-opening of epoxides by acids (α- and \-hydroxy ester), a third structure was observed. This structure was identified by comparative studies as “abnormal” \-hydroxy ester. A mechanism for the reaction of glycidyl esters with acids is postulated.

    Notes: Summary Ethylene oxide units were incorporated into the backbone of Na+ sulfonated polyurethane ionomers in an attempt to induce aggregate dissociation at elevated, but observable, temperatures by reducing the incompatibility between ions and polymer. However, no dissociation could be observed by small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) before the onset of degradation, even when the polyol was pure EO. At 100°C and above, the SAXS patterns for all samples were quite similar, indicating morphological similarity. However, after annealing for several days at room temperature, two of the specimens appeared to develop a greater degree of microdomain order as evidenced by a narrowing of the main peak at q* and the development of a shoulder at 2q*x.

The dependence of pectin yield and of the relative viscosity of pectin solution on experimental conditions has been described by mathematical models. To obtain suitable pectin for immobilizing biocatalysts, the extraction should be carried out at low acid concentration, low temperature, and for long periods of time.

    Notes: Summary The influence of static and cyclic compression on the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity σ(T) of 100 phr FEF black-loaded rubber vulcanizates (SBR, NR, IIR, BR and NBR) has been studied. It was found that σ increases with static pressure for all rubber vulcanizates. The temperature coefficient of conductivity proved to be negative; its maximum value α ranges between −0.1 and −0.01 deg−1 depending upon the applied stress and type of rubber vulcanizate. The pressure coefficient of conductivity γ at room temperature varies with the static pressure from 0.78 to 0.04 (kg/cm2)−1. Menwhile, a was found to decrease with the number and stress amplitude of the cyclic compressions, while α increases with the number of compression cycles.

    Notes: Abstract Five samples of Poly (vinylidene fluoride) with a molecular weight from 45,000 to 260,000 were analyzed by means of FT-IR spectroscopy in order to study the influence of molecular weight $$\left( {\bar Mv} \right)$$ on the crystallization process. The spectra of films obtained from methylethylketone solutions revealed the prevalence of form II (α) in the case of lower $$\bar Mv$$ and of form III (γ) in the higher molecular weight samples. The amount of form III was found to increase as the Mv decreased and as annealing temperatures increased. The deconvolution technique of vibrational spectra allowed detection of small amounts of other forms accompanying the prevailing one.

For the catalyst system cocatalyzed with DEAC, the reduction was negligible regardless of the catalyst types, while an irreversible catalyst modification such as the reduction reaction occurred significantly for the catalyst with TEA.

    Notes: Summary Polyesterification of maleic anhydride with ethylene glycol, using p-toluensulphonic acid as catalyst, has been carried out under very well controlled conditions to obtain a linear polyester with a relatively high molecular weight. The polyester was characterized by ir, nmr, end group analysis, and gpc. Isomerization of the maleate to the fumarate form takes place to a great extent in a reaction which runs parallel to the polycondensation process. An addition reaction could interfere with the polycondensation since some glycol segments may react with the cationic intermediate during the isomerization of maleate to fumarate.

    Notes: Summary Standardized operations including incisions and ablations were carried out on pigthroats immediately prior to evaluation of the depths of thermal damage zones measured with a unit of 30 mikrons. The following parameters were applied on the tissue: 1) Continuous versus single pulse mode. 2) equal energy impacts with variation of time and power density. 3) super pulse versus non super pulse. In the 1st series the tissue damage for all tissues examined were significantly lower in the single pulse mode than in the continuous mode. In the 2nd series the pooled material showed a significance in favour of short impacts with high power density although the total energy required for a single operation was up to 40% higher in the high power/short time series. The 3rd series showed no significance in differences between super pulse and nonsuper pulse damage when applying the same average output on the laryngeal tissues involved.

    Notes: Abstract The characteristics of two modified fiber tips, the metal laser probe and the rounded sapphire contact probe, were examined in vitro and in vivo with respect to some of the risks of laser angioplasty. Both probes have an atraumatic, blunt shape. The laser beam profile of the sapphire contact probe looses its focussing properties in water. In vitro, we found a large temperature gradient from the front to the rim of the probe. Ablative temperatures were reached at the tip whereas the temperature of the metal connector near the rim of the sapphire crystal rose only 30 °C in blood when 15 W Nd-YAG was applied for 1 s. In contrast, the metal laser probe reached temperatures over 500 °C in an in vitro tissue/blood environment when 10 W was applied for 5 s. The metal probe ablated both in the forward and the radial direction. In a rabbit model there was a large variation in temperature of the metal in vivo (70 – 320 °C). The highest temperatures were associated with acute complications. However, in spite of transmural coagulation necrosis the artery wall remained functionally intact during a follow up period of up to 56 days.
