Tumoren der Ceruminaldrüsen

1987

Tumours originating from the ceruminous glands can be classified into five types: adenomas, adenocarcinomas, adenoid-cystic carcinomas, pleomorphic adenomas and mucoepidermoid carcinomas. The diagnosis is based on histological findings and can be quite difficult if the tumour status has to be determined. Classification into one of the five types of tumours may be facilitated at times by studying the clinical pattern. Three case reports are quoted as examples to illustrate that neoplasias originating from the ceruminous glands can assume considerable proportions and must be considered in differential diagnosis when assessing space-occupying growths in the soft tissue of the neck. Whereas pro…

Study of spindle-spike interactions: Features of basal ganglia control

1987

Summary Changes in cortical spindle distribution following penicillin (PCN) injections were studied in feline generalized PCN epilepsy. PCN activation caused no substantial changes in spindle duration, frequency and intraburst frequency, while significant reductions in the amplitude of the negative waves were noted. At the same time combinations of spindle waves and epileptic complexes were recorded with one or more spikes randomly occurring at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a spindle envelope. Low frequency stimulation of the caudate nucleus induced a certain degree of enhancement in cortical precruciate spike frequency while high frequency activation of the entopeduncular …

Mechanical jumping power in young athletes.

1987

Mechanical jumping power was determined for 286 young male athletes representing six sports events and ranging in calendar and skeletal ages from 8.8 to 17.1 and from 7.8 to 18.1 years, respectively. The subjects performed successive maximal vertical jumps on a contact mat for 30 s. The number of jumps and their cumulative flight time after 15 and 30 s were used for calculations of mechanical power. The jumping performances of the young athletes were found to be reproducible from the age of 10-12 years in respect to the angular displacement of the knee and duration of contact. Absolute mechanical power, as well as power related to body weight, increased with calendar and skeletal ages. Of t…

Ernährung und Colonkrebsätiologie: Von der deskriptiven Epidemiologie zur diätetischen Prävention

1987

Der Colonkrebs ist eine der haufigsten Krebserkrankungen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und in den meisten westlichen Landern, in Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika jedoch gewohnlich selten. Aufgrund epidemiologischer Untersuchungen sind verschiedenartige Ernahrungsgewohnheiten die Hauptursache fur diese Unterschiede. Ein hoher Fett- und Eiweiskonsum wurde als Risikofaktor erkannt, wahrend ein hoher Ballaststoffgehalt der Nahrung sich als protektiv erwies. Die existierenden Hypothesen zur Atiologie des Colonkrebses, die vom „Zwei-Stufen-Initiations-Promotionsmodell“ ausgehen, betrachten das Wechselspiel der Einwirkung von Initiatoren, Promotoren und Inhibitoren als entscheidend fur die Real…

E0study of0+states near 5 MeV in208Pb

1987

Strong E0 lines from the 4866 and 5237 keV ${0}^{+}$ states in $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ have been identified using a new high-energy conversion-electron spectrometry technique in the study of the $^{207}\mathrm{Pb}$(d,p${)}^{208}$Pb and $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$(p,p'${)}^{208}$Pb reactions at ${E}_{\mathrm{d}=10}$ MeV and ${E}_{\mathrm{p}=17.3}$ MeV, respectively. No evidence for an E0 transition from the expected third ${0}^{+}$ state was found.

Dynamics of wetting transitions: A time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau treatment

1987

The dynamic behavior at wetting transitions is studied for systems with short-range forces and nonconserved order parameter. From a continuum limit of a purely relaxational lattice model in mean-field approximation, a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with a time-dependent boundary condition at the surface is derived in the long wavelength approximation. The dynamics of relaxation close to stable and metastable states is treated in linear response. A divergence of the relaxation time occurs both for critical wetting and along the surface spinodal lines (in the case of first-order wetting), although the static surface layer susceptibilities χ1, χ11 stay finite at the surface spinodal i…

Coarctation of the Aorta: Quantitative Analysis by Transesophageal Echocardiography

1987

Summary Transesophageal echocardiography and standard two-dimensional echocardiography were performed in 15 patients with suspected coarctation of the aorta. Aortic diameters and crosssectional areas were determined by means of TEE and compared with clinical findings and catheterization data. The isthmus of the aorta could be imaged in all patients using TEE, but in only seven patients using standard suprasternal echocardiography. Compared with controls, aortic diameters were narrowed in 9 of 15 patients, and cross-sectional areas were reduced in 13 of 15. There was a satisfactory correlation between TEE data and angiographic and hemodynamic data. TEE is a promising method of a diagnosing a…

Magnetic resonance imaging in infections of the brain: findings in tuberculosis, listeriosis, toxoplasmosis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and…

1987

A total of 6 patients with various inflammatory brain diseases were investigated by MRI. Typical diagnostic criteria like signal intensity, location, and morphology of the lesions are presented. MRI proves to be a highly sensitive method to detect encephalitic foci, which, however, suffers from a low specificity. Therefore additional informations like case history, clinical findings, and serological data have to be considered to find the correct diagnosis.

Two different subtypes of antimitochondrial antibodies are associated with primary biliary cirrhosis: identification and characterization by radioimm…

1987

Antimitochondrial antibodies from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis react with different mitochondrial polypeptides as demonstrated by Western blots. The IgG fractions of a patient with primary biliary cirrhosis Stage I reacting exclusively with a pair of polypeptides at 48,000 daltons (p 48) on Western blot and from a patient with Stage III primary biliary cirrhosis reacting exclusively with a single 62,000 dalton polypeptide (p 62) were labeled with 125I; two radio-immunoassays were established detecting antimitochondrial antibodies against p 62 and p 48, respectively. Autologous sera blocked the assay, but the two reference sera did not block each other. Fourteen of 40 patients wit…

The Reductive σ Bond Cleavage of Barbaralane and 2,6‐Diphenylbarbaralane

1987

Barbaralane (2) and 2,6-diphenylbarbaralane (8) are synthesized in a straightforward way. The reductive cleavage of the strained hydrocarbons is achieved with alkali metals. The structure of the metallation products, in particular the bonding in the resulting allyl moieties, is elucidated by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The chemical behavior (oxidation, protonation, alkylation) sheds light on the modes of stabilization of the alkali metal derivatives. Die reduktive σ-Bindungsspaltung von Barbaralan und 2,6-Diphenylbarbaralan Barbaralan (2) und 2,6-Diphenylbarbaralan (8) werden auf rationelle Weise synthetisiert und die gespannten Kohlenwasserstoffe durch Reaktion mit Alkalimetallen redukti…

Die Ileozökalscheide

1987

In 3 patients with vaginal aplasia respectively traumatic vaginal loss a neovagina was created out of the separated ileocecal segment. Advantages of this technique are the excellent blood supply of the ileocecal region and the long vascular pedicle. The additional application of terminal ileum for prolongation of the cecal vaginoplasty allows the tensionless anastomosis between neovagina and vulva even in patients with difficult anatomical conditions. The present paper gives a detailed description of the operative technique and the indications of the ileocecal vaginoplasty. Furthermore the common techniques for vaginal replacement are reviewed and discussed.

An analysis of Ralston's quadrature

Ralston's quadrature achieves higher accuracy in composite rules than analogous Newton-Cotes or Gaussian formulas. His rules are analyzed, computable expressions for the weights and knots are given, and a more suitable form of the remainder is derived.

A classification of European skulls from three time periods.

1987

We analyze the taxonomic structure of European populations at three time periods, the Early Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Recent Period. The data consist of sample means for 10 cranial variables based on 137, 108, and 183 samples for the three periods. Clustering by standard numerical taxonomic procedures reveals that the data are represented only poorly as hierarchic classifications. The clusters form significant and moderately strong associations with an arrangement of the samples by regions (geography) and by language family. Whereas during the early period, language family showed a stronger association with clusters based on cranial morphology, in the recent populations thes…

Cytochalasin B selectively releases ovalbumin mRNA precursors but not the mature ovalbumin mRNA from hen oviduct nuclear matrix

1987

Hen oviduct nuclear matrix-bound mature ovalbumin mRNA is released from the matrix in the presence of ATP, while the ovalbumin mRNA precursors remain bound to this structure. Detachment of the mature mRNA from the matrix by ATP as well as ATP-dependent efflux of mRNA from isolated nuclei were found to be inhibited by cytochalasin B. On the other hand, in the absence of ATP, cytochalasin B exclusively caused the release (and nucleocytoplasmic efflux) of the ovalbumin messenger precursors, but not of the mature mRNA. After cytochalasin B treatment, actin could be detected in the matrix supernatant. Phalloidin which stabilizes actin filaments did not cause RNA liberation in the absence of ATP,…

In Vitro Propagation of Sideritis angustifolia Lag.

1987

Summary Hypocotyl, root and cotyledon explants from 30 day old seedlings of Sideritis angustifolia Lag. were cultured on Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium. Organogenesis of roots and shoots was induced with treatments containing BA or KIN in combination with NAA, IAA or 2,4-D, however, those combinations including NAA and BA were optimal. Most regenerated shoots developed roots when transferred to medium without growth regulators. Rooted plantlets were successfully transplanted into soil.

Nuclear ground state spins of short-lived strontium isotopes

1987

Nuclear ground state spins of the odd-mass strontium isotopes between A=79 and 97 were determined by measurements of the hyperfine structure in the ionic transition 5s2S1/2−5p2P3/2. The spins of93Sr and97Sr are revised to I=5/2 and I=1/2, respectively, while assignments for the remaining isotopes are confirmed.

Parent-child communication as a function of parental education, sex of parent and child and situational factors

1987

Parent-child communication was studied in different contexts (home vs laboratory, variation between and within the tasks, dyad vs triad). The subjects were 48 Finnish families with a four-year-old child. The families were divided into euqual groups of lower and higher parental education. The experiments were carried out in two stages: the first in the laboratory setting and the second in the laboratory setting or at home. The videotaped situations consisted of different cooperative tasks. The first result based on global ratings of dyads and triads (initiation/guidance, cooperation, emotionality) and on evaluation of parents’ teaching styles showed only minor differences in interactional me…

Incomplete GIM cancellation in $$K_L \to \bar \mu \mu $$ decay

1987

Weak contributions to the decay $$K_L \to \bar \mu \mu $$ are evaluated over the whole energy spectrum and it is found that terms which survive the GIM cancellation because of the size of the top quark mass are comparable in size to the ones previously kept. Corresponding bounds on the K-M mixing matrix elements are given.

Utilization of water glass as an activator in the manufacturing of cementitious materials from waste by-products

1987

Abstract In the present paper, the possibility of producing new-type cementless building materials is discussed when water glass as an activating agent is used. The experimental data are presented for a set of raw materials which normally do not show any binding ability. However, if they undergo some physico-chemical treatment and water glass is used, a solid structure of the material is formed. According to the method described here, lots of different mineral waste by-products could be activated, thus gaining binding properties.

Sleep-electroencephalography and the secretion of cortisol and growth hormone in normal controls.

1987

Abstract. Sleep-electroencephalography, and the nocturnal secretion of cortisol and GH were investigated simultaneously in a sample of 25 male normal controls (27.1 ± 1.3 years) in order further to examine interaction between sleep structure and concurrent endocrine activity. Slow wave sleep activity was increased during the first part of the night, whereas cortisol concentration was low and GH output reached maximal levels. The second half of the night was characterized by a relative preponderance of REM-sleep, low GH-concentration, and an increase in cortisol. However, no distinct reciprocal interaction between cortisol and GH concentration was noted. In all subjects, a pronounced GH surg…

Structure analysis of side chain liquid crystal polymer films by means of electron microscopy

1987

Abstract Using the combined techniques of electron diffraction, bright and dark field electron microscopy as well as light microscopy, it has been possible to obtain detailed structural information about the arrangement of the smectic layers in a polymethacrylate side chain liquid crystal polymer with a biphenylester as the mesogenic group.

Direct observation of smectic layers in side chain liquid crystal polymer films

1987

Abstract By applying stringent conditions to the imaging process it has been possible to produce electron micrographs of the smectic planes in a highly beam sensitive polymethcrylate side chain liquid crystal polymer. These planes show a high degree of internal perfection, while, at the same time, showing clear evidence of curvature. The director orientation was determined over a fairly large region.

Sinusoidal endothelial cells from guinea pig liver synthesize and secrete cellular fibronectin in vitro.

1987

Endothelial liver cells were obtained from guinea pig by enzymatic digestion and centrifugal elutriation. Cells were cultured on gelatin and fibronectin pretreated culture vessels. Endothelial cells were characterized by phase-contrast microscopy, electron microscopy and the presence of Factor VIII-related antigen. Fibronectin secretion was determined in cell-free supernatants by a sensitive and specific ELISA and localized on fixed cultured cells by immunofluorescence. [35S]Methionine endogeneously labeled fibronectin was immunoprecipitated from supernatants and cellular lysates and displayed on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. After attachment to the culture…

Heat capacities of butanol and pentanol in aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions

1987

Heat capacities of the ternary systems water-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-butanol and water-DTAB-pentanol were measured at 25°C. The standard partial molar heat capacities of pentanol in micellar solutions show a maximum at about 0.35 mol-kg−1 DTAB that has been attributed to a micellar structural transition. This maximum tends to vanish by increasing the alcohol concentration and by decreasing the alcohol alkyl chain length; in the case of butanol it was not detected. The behavior of the standard partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in micellar solutions in the region above the cmc and below the structural transition was explained using a previously reported mass-action mod…

Formal Group Laws for Affine Kac-Moody groups and group quantization

1987

We describe a method for obtaining Formal Group Laws from the structure constants of Affine Kac-Moody groups and then apply a group manifold quantization procedure which permits construction of physical representations by using only canonical structures on the group. As an intermediate step we get an explicit expression for two-cocycles on Loop Groups. The programme is applied to the AffineSU(2) group.

Stress conceptions in life event research: Towards a person‐centred perspective

1987

The present article focuses on a discussion of the theoretical foundations of life event research. Since critical life events are usually regarded as stressful events, the main question is which concepts of stress are employed in different life event approaches and what is their rationale. The discussion centres on two topics that have to be treated independently: the question of specificity vs nonspecificity and the question of individualized vs normative weightings. It is shown that different life event approaches rely on different concepts of stress. Numerous objections lead to a rejection of the nonspecificity concept and a normative proceeding. However, even when a specificity view of…
