    Notes: Abstract Background: Human recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) has been shown to increase skeletal muscle protein synthesis and improve nitrogen balance in critically ill patients and those undergoing surgery. rhGH effects on hepatic protein turnover in critically ill patients are less clearly understood. Objective: To examine rhGH effects on hepatic acute phase protein responses and inflammatory cytokine release in patients undergoing major surgery. Design: Prospective double blind randomised trial. Setting: Tertiary referral university teaching hospital. Patients: Patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Intervention: Patients received rhGH (Genotropin, 0.3 IU/kg per day, n = 8) or placebo (n = 10) for 6 days prior to surgery. Results: Blood levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) were measured following rhGH treatment and C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA) and the cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) were measured for up to 24 h following surgery. Significant increases in plasma rhGH (0.84 ± 0.3, mean (sem) versus 52 ± 20 mU/l, p 〈 0.0008) and IGF-1 levels (119 ± 13 versus 644 ± 110 ng/ml, p 〈 0.0001) were seen prior to surgery following rhGH administration. No differences in acute phase protein or cytokine levels were seen following surgery in patients receiving rhGH. Conclusions: These results indicate that pre-operative administration of rhGH does not alter acute phase protein or inflammatory cytokine release in response to major surgery.

    Is permanent pacing for dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure a viable therapeutic option? (1999)

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Enthusiasm for permanent pacing as a therapeutic option for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and congestive heart failure (CHF) has waxed and waned since the early 1990‘s. The clinical results of standard dual-chamber pacing in these patients have been extraordinarily mixed, which can be attributed to small patient populations, marked heterogeneity of patients included, highly variable study designs and endpoints, and limited follow-up.  Although investigators have postulated some mechanisms for improvement, there is still a great deal to learn to be able to reliably predict which patients with DCM and/or CHF will respond to permanent pacing. Biventricular pacing is emerging as having the greatest potential for patients with congestive cardiomyopathy. Although data is somewhat limited, triple-chamber, and in some cases four-chamber pacing will be the focus of future interest.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Begeisterung für das permanente Pacing als therapeutische Option bei der dilatativen Kardiomyopathie (DCM) und bei der dekompensierten Herzinsuffizienz (CHF) hat seit den frühen 90er Jahren deutlich nachgelassen. Die klinischen Ergebnisse des üblichen Zweikammer-Pacings fielen bei diesen Patienten außergewöhnlich gemischt aus. Dies kann auf kleine Patientenpopulationen, eine ausgeprägte Heterogenität der teilnehmenden Patienten, auf eine große Variabilität der Studiendesigns und Endpunkte sowie auf eine begrenzte Nachbeobachtungszeit zurückgeführt werden.  Obwohl Wissenschaftler einige Mechanismen für eine Besserung postulieren, sind viele Punkte noch offen, bis man zuverlässig voraussagen kann, welche Patienten mit DCM und/oder CHF auf ein permanentes Pacing ansprechen werden.  Es scheint so als ob das Zweikammer-Pacing das größte Potential für Patienten mit dekompensierter Herzinsuffizienz bietet. Obwohl erst limitierte Daten zur Verfügung stehen, wird in Zukunft das Dreikammer-Pacing und in manchen Fällen das Vierkammer-Pacing von Interesse sei.

    Fluoride binding to humic acid (1995)
    Springer
    Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry 201 (1995), S. 135-141

    Notes: Abstract Fluoride (F−) binding to humic acid has been measured as a function of pH (5–6.6). The pH dependent binding is attributed to the anion being trapped within the large structure (territorial bound) but is not bound to a particular functional group (site bound). Studying fluoride binding provides insight to cation, anion and neutral species interactions with humic acid.

    Notes: Abstract A small, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with sensors for physical and chemical measurements of remote environments, is described. A miniature helicopter airframe is used as a platform for sensor testing and development. The sensor output is integrated with the flight control system for real-time, interactive, data acquisition and analysis. Pre-programmed flight missions will be flown with several sensors to demonstrate the cost-effective surveillance capabilities of this new technology.

    Notes: Various yeasts such as several strains of Saccharomyces diastaticus, S. cerevisiae, and Kluyveromyces fregilis were investigated for their ability to ferment the carbohydrates from Jerusalem artichokes to alcohol. Juice extracted of the carbohydrates. Fermentation was also carried out with raw artichokes without prior juice extraction. Result indicate that this row material has good potential for fuel alcohol production by fermentation.

    Convergence at the Caroline-Pacific plate boundary: Collision and subduction (1983)
    AGU (American Geophysical Union)
    In:  In: The Tectonic and Geologic Evolution of Southeast Asian Seas and Islands: Part 2. , ed. by Hayes, D. E. Geophysical Monograph Series, 27 . AGU (American Geophysical Union), Washington, DC, pp. 326-348, 23 pp.

    Description: The eastern boundary of the Caroline plate, in the western equatorial Pacific, is composed of three structural provinces distinguished primarily on the basis of morphology. Each province shows evidence for convergence between the Caroline and Pacific plates though the structural style varies considerably between each province. Most notably, the sense of underthrusting appears to change along the boundary at about 3°N. To the south, at the Mussau System, Caroline lithosphere underthrusts beneath the Mussau Ridge (which is part of the Pacific plate), while to the north the Caroline plate appears to overthrust the Pacific plate. Recently collected seismic reflection profiles across each province documents the structural changes along and across strike of the Caroline-Pacific plate boundary. With this information, we estimate that a minimum of approximately 4 km of crustal shortening has occurred at about 5°N due to convergence of the two plates. Further to the south (about 2°N), simple gravity models suggest that about 10 km of Caroline lithosphere lies beneath the present-day Pacific plate. Using a previously determined pole of rotation describing Caroline-Pacific relative motion (Weissel and Anderson, 1978), we grossly estimate the duration of the convergence between these two plates at about one million years. It is suggested that variation in the convergence rate along the plate boundary provides the primary control on the variation of structural deformation observed between provinces; however, favorable thermal conditions are factors that are considered. If the eastern boundary of the Caroline plate is a region of incipient though perhaps transient subduction, as we postulate, then the geophysical and geological evidence presented can constrain models on the initiation of subduction.
