An economical hemoperfusion system to determine in vitro clearances of various poisons with different adsorbents.
1980
An economical hemoperfusion system for clearance studies in vitro was developped. It was ascertained, that hemoperfusion using columns which contain 13 g of adsorbent and perfused at a blood flow rate of 1.25 ml/min results in the same relative clearances as when using clinical sized columns containing 300–355 g of the absorbent and run at 100 ml/min. The adsorption kinetics of toxicologically important drugs and pesticides are given as examples. To date 27 substances were tested systematically. The investigation has shown, that no adsorbent is without exception the best one, but the efficacy can vary from substance to substance.

Linear Recursive Equations, Covariance Selection, and Path Analysis
1980
Abstract By defining a reducible zero pattern and by using the concept of multiplicative models, we relate linear recursive equations that have been introduced by econometrician Herman Wold (1954) and path analysis as it was proposed by geneticist Sewall Wright (1923) to the statistical theory of covariance selection formulated by Arthur Dempster (1972). We show that a reducible zero pattern is the condition under which parameters as well as least squares estimates in recursive equations are one-to-one transformations of parameters and of maximum likelihood estimates, respectively, in a decomposable covariance selection model. As a consequence, (a) we can give a closed-form expression for t…

A CNDO/2 study on the additivity and the nature of the non-additivity of the substituent effects on13C NMR shifts in chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols
1980
The general correlation between the electron densities and the 13C NMR chemical shifts is found to be quite poor in the cases discussed. The non-additivities of the substituent effects on the chemical shifts and the CNDO/2 electron densities correlate only weakly. However, when the electron densities are made specific to different types of atomic orbitals, the s electrons have a pronounced effect in all the models tested. This is explained by an indirect effect on the 〈1/r3〉 term of the p electrons. Good correlations are found between the sums of the chemical shifts and the corresponding sums of the substituent charge excesses. The different behaviour of OH and Cl substituents in the additi…
A Voltammetric Analysis of the Electrochemical Behaviour of Onium Salts at a Mercury Electrode
1980
An analysis of the cyclic voltammograms of the reduction of various onium salt at mercury, produced more detailed information concerning the nature of the reaction pathway, in terms of adsorption, amalgam formation and kinetics of electron transfer, and lead to an interpretation of the characteristic “inverted peak”. An “auto-catalytic” reaction mechanism was indicated, and in conjunction with the preparative experiments [1, 2] a full reduction scheme proposed for the sulphonium salt ([Ph2S+ CH3)]CIO−4) and the phosphonium salt ([Ph2P+ (CH3)2]Br−). Die Analyse der Cyclovoltammogramme der reduktiven Spaltung einiger Phosphonium- und Sulfoniumsaize unterrichtet uber die an der Quecksilberkath…

Covalent binding of drug metabolites to DNA ? a tool of predictive value?
1980
The presently available data suggest at least some correlation between covalent binding of drug metabolites to DNA and carcinogenicity of that drug. More data, however, are needed to establish the predictability of covalent DNA binding assays for extrahepatic cancer. A covalent binding assay requires administration of radioactively labelled compound to the experimental animals; the availability of labelled compound and requirements as to radiochemical purity, chemical and biochemical stability are limiting the applicability of this procedure. Many technical pitfalls accompany covalent DNA binding assays. It is concluded that at the present time DNA binding assays do not represent routine pr…
Separation of unmodified α-amino acid enantiomers by reverse phase HPLC
1980
A novel chiral phase system is presented for the resolution of unmodified α-amino acid racemates which is composed of a reverse phase packing coated with N-alkyl-L-hydroxyproline (where alkyl is n-C7H15-, n-C10H21- and n-C16H33-) and a hydro-organic eluent containing copper(II)acetate. The factors controlling retention and enantioselectivity such as concentration of Cu(II)ion and pH of the eluent, addition of NH4Ac to the eluent, type and content of organic solvent of hydro-organic eluent and column temperature were examined. The extremely high enantioselectivity observed (α up to 16) is assumed to be caused by a three site sorbate-sorbent interaction involving bidentate coordination of two…
System-theoretical analysis of the Clare Bishop Area in the cat
1980
The Clare Bishop Area (CBA) is a retinotopically organized cortical area in the cat brain connected to a great variety of visual areas in a very complex wax (Fig. 1). Experimental analysis is difficult because of the following aspects: 1. As the distance from the retina increases, the signal combinations necessary to analyse the system become more and more specific. 2. Feedback loops cannot be opened, so an unequivocal identification of CBA cell properties is impossible. 3. The nonlinear character seems to have a great influence on signal processing. To circumvent these problems, specific signal combinations leading to a separation of input subsystems have been developed (Hoffmann and v. Se…

Effects of cimetidine, atropine and prostaglandin E2 on rat mucosal erosions produced by intragastric distension
1980
Abstract The effects of three typical antisecretory agents: cimetidine, atrophine and prostaglandin E2 were compared on an acute rat gastric ulcer model which consisted of perfusing the stomach continuously, at a high intraluminal pressure (120 mm H2O), with a simulated gastric juice (0.1 M HCl plus 600 mg pepsin/1). As the acid and pepsin are given exogenously the inhibitory action of the antisecretory drugs is obviated in this model. Cimetidine and atropine failed to reduce gastric erosions, whereas prostaglandin E2 markedly reduced the severity of the mucosal lesions with respect to control values. Long-term treatment with cimetidine also failed to increase the resistance of the gastric …
Investigations on the Mechanism of Induction of the Alkaline Phosphatase by Bromodesoxyuridine in Herpes simplex Virus Transformed Cells and the Tran…
1980
Addition of BrdUrd in combination with prednisolone to HSVi-transformed hamster embryo cells induces an alkaline phosphatase (AP). FdUrd enhances, dThd reduces the inducing capacity of BrdUrd and prednisolone. Induction is prevented by addition of cycloheximide or of cytosine arabinoside. BrdUrd reduces transport and phosphorylation of exogenously applied labeled Urd, especially the amount of UTP, UDP and Urd-diphosphate sugars. The Lineweaver-Burk-plot of uridine-uptake after addition of BrdUrd reveales the characteristics of the mixed type inhibition (competitive-noncompetitive).

Pre- and postsynaptic effects of muscarinic agonists in the guinea-pig ileum
1980
The effects of several muscarinic agonists on smooth muscle (postsynaptic effect) and on acetylcholine release (presynaptic effect) were compared in the longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation of the guinea-pig ileum. 1. For release experiments the acetylcholine stores of the preparation were labelled with 3H-choline. Electrical field stimulation in the absence of a cholinesterase inhibitor caused an outflow of tritium that reflected release of 3H-acetylcholine. The agonists oxotremorine, arecaidinepropargylester, methylfurmethide, muscarine, carbachol, arecoline and pilocarpine inhibited the stimulation-induced outflow in a concentration-dependent manner. At the highest concentrat…
Recherche de la forme d'un modèle à retards échelonnés : application à la fonction d'investissement
1980
L'étude des modèles à retards échelonnés a toujours été au centre des préoccupations aussi bien de l ' économiste que de l'économètre. Pour l 'économiste, le modèle à retards échelonnés permet de traduire le fait que l'influence d'une vardiable économique sur une autre est généralement étalée sur plusieurs périodes tout en étant peut être décalée dans le temps. C'est sur cette idée que s'appuie, en matière d'investissement, la théorie des accélérateurs flexibles d développée par les partisans du principe d'accélération principe dont la version originale est due à J .

Haemodynamic effects of a single intravenous dose of lorcainide in patients with heart disease
1980
The cardiovascular effects of a single i.v. dose (2 mg/kg over 5 min) of lorcainide were studied in 14 patients with heart disease. In the haemodynamic part of the study (6 patients), the aortic and pulmonary systolic, diastolic and mean pressures, left ventricular systolic and end-diastolic pressures, cardiac output and the rate of rise of left ventricular pressure were measured before and for 30 min after administration of the drug. Lorcainide produced a slight and short-lasting decrease in the aortic and pulmonary systolic pressures, and all other pressure values remained unchanged. The cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance were not altered by lorcainide. It consistently depres…

A statistical study of the additivities of substituent effects in the13C NMR chemical shifts of hydroxy- and chloro-substituted benzenes
1980
The 13C NMR spectra of six hydroxybenzenes, all chlorobenzenes, all chlorophenols and eight chlorocatechols are measured and assigned. The additivity of the substituent effects and the usefulness of some corrective parameters are studied with regression analysis. The order of the chemical shifts is most efficiently predicted by the simplest substituent effect model, containing only the direct effects of the substituents, although the 95% confidence limits of the calculated shifts are as high as 5.6 ppm. If the chemical shifts need to be predicted within the measuring errors (approximately 0.05–0.10 ppm, in the present data), the number of necessary corrections is very impractical. The corre…

Alloreactive and H-2-restricted Lyt 23 cytotoxic T lymphocytes derive from a common pool of antecedent Lyt 123 precursors.
1980
If the collaborative requirement of Lyt 1 T helper cells is bypassed by the Lyt 1 T cell-derived mediator of T help, termed Il-2, upon antigenic stimulation, PNA+ Lyt 123 thymocytes differentiate into either alloreactive or H-2-restricted PNA- Lyt 23 cytotoxic effector cells. Along the differentiation pathway from Lyt 123 leads to 23 effector cells, cytolytic activity is carried out by T cells that still express the Lyt 123 phenotype. The data establish that Lyt 23 CTL are produced by differentiation from antecedent Lyt 123 cells.
Mössbauer gamma-ray diffraction from the molecular crystal KCN
1980
Abstract Mossbauer gamma-ray diffraction was applied to separate the elastic and inelastic scattering intensities from the (200), (400) and (600) Bragg reflections of KCN. The energy resolution of our experiment was 60 neV. The Debye-Waller factor extracted from the elastic data and the thermal diffuse inelastic data both increase towards phase transition, theoretically a logarithmic singularity was predicted.

Formation and behaviour of radiation induced free radicals in statistical copolymers from vinyl hydrosulfide and styrene (1:1, 1:4, and 1:10) were investigated by means of ESR spectroscopy. The corresponding homopolymers were also included in these studies. After γ-irradiation of the copolymers at 77 K and subsequent annealing to 293 K it was possible to detect thio radicals. Their relative yields were found to increase with increasing styrene content. Investigations regarding the thermal behaviour of the radiation induced radicals in the copolymers allowed the assumption of two mechanisms responsible for the formation of the thio radicals: First, the formation takes place via ion radicals …
Isolation of Cholinergic Synaptic Vesicles from the Myenteric Plexus of Guinea-Pig Small Intestine
1980
The acetylcholine-rich myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparation of the guinea-pig small intestine has been subjected to subcellular fractionation using modifications of both classical methods and that originally devised for bulk isolation of cholinergic synaptic vesicles from the electromotor nerve terminals of Torpedo marmorata by means of density gradient centrifugation in a zonal rotor. The latter method gave a vesicle fraction with the highest acetylcholine content so far recorded for a mammalian particulate fraction, 30.9 +/- S.E.M. 1.8 (5) nmol of acetylcholine . mg of protein-1. Electron-microscopical examination showed that it consisted of a homogeneous preparation of vesicl…
1-Methyl-?-carboline (Harmane), a potent endogenous inhibitor of benzodiazepine receptor binding
1980
The interaction of several beta-carbolines with specific [3H]-flunitrazepam binding to benzodiazepine receptors in rat brain membranes was investigated. Out of the investigated compounds, harmane and norharmane were the most potent inhibitors of specific [3H]-flunitrazepam binding, with IC50-values in the micromolar range. All other derivatives, including harmine, harmaline, and several tetrahydroderivatives were at least ten times less potent. Harmane has been previously found in rat brain and human urine, so it is the most potent endogenous inhibitor of specific [3H]-flunitrazepam binding known so far, with a several fold higher affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor than inosine and hy…
A report on the development and prospects of Medical Psychology in the Federal Republic of Germany
1980
For eight years Medical Psychology has been an integral part of medical pre-examination as well as of research and teaching in the Federal Republic of Germany, and a great deal of psychological knowledge is taught to the medical student under this heading. Besides mere theory the medical student is supposed to acquire behavior based on psychological findings which will be important to him in medical practice. Nevertheless, students often complain that teaching is too far from reality, due to the fact that Medical Psychology is part of the first, more theoretical, period of medical eduction, even though one of the main objects of this new field is the analysis of the interaction between pati…

1980
Abstract The characteristic features of an acetic acid esters hydrolyzing enzyme (acetylesterase, EC 3.1.1.16) are described. The pH- and temperature optimum were 7.0 and 40 °C respectively. The stability of the enzyme regarding different pH- and temperature conditions was investigated. The molecular weight of the acetylesterase could be determined to 160000. A small acetic ester hydrolyzing activity was found too with a molecular weight of about 25000. The activity was not inhibited by addition of di-isopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP) or physostigmine. The KM-value for glyceryl triacetate was about 90 mM. Concentration of the enzyme was done by ultrafiltration and column-chromatography. Th…

Circulatory and metabolic responses of malignant tumors during localized hyperthermia
1980
The effect of localized hyperthermia on the circulatory responses and on the oxygen and glucose supply has been evaluated in tissue-isolated rat tumors utilizing an in situ perfusion system. On the average, localized hyperthermia caused a significant increase in total tumor blood flow after raising of the mean tumor temperature from 37 degrees C to 39.5 degrees C. At higher temperatures (42 degrees C) total tumor blood flow decreased to a level somewhat below the flow during normothermia. However, there were great interindividual differences in the response of blood flow to temperature. The changes in blood flow were paralleled by variations of the O2-consumption and of the glucose uptake o…
