    Notes: Summary The incidence of diabetic nephropathy in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) may depend on factors other than the quality of diabetes control. Hypertension is an additional factor associated with a high degree of renal involvement in IDDM. One abnormality consistantly observed in various tissues of patients with essential hypertension is enhanced activity of the Na+/H+ antiport. In the present study we have therefore studied platelet antiport activity in 41 healthy subjects (control), in 22 patients with untreated essential hypertension (EH), and in 35 normotensive IDDM patients (type 1). Of these patients 17 exhibited signs of diabetic nephropathy (group 1) while 18 had no evidence for renal involvement of IDDM in spite of a duration of IDDM of at least 10 years (group 2). The two IDDM patient groups were undistinguishable with respect to age, body mass index, and arterial blood pressure (group 1, 117.9±2.4/78.4±1.5 mmHg; group 2, 113.9±3.6/76.1±1.8 mmHg). Antiporter activity was determined from the rate of cell volume changes induced by propionic acid. Platelet Na+/H+ exchange activity averaged 23.43±0.43 10−3·s−1 in control subjects and was markedly elevated in EH (28.38±0.62 10−3·s−1 P〈0.01). Antiport activity in group 2 patients without nephropathy averaged 24.54±0.57 10−3·s−1 and was undistinguishable from the control group. However, platelet Na+/H+ antiport activity was significantly stimulated in group 1 patients with nephropathy as compared to group 2(26.95±0.73 10−3. s−1 ; P〈0.025). Our results show that renal involvement in IDDM is associated with enhanced activity of the platelet Na+/H+ antiport.

    Notes: Abstract  Angiotensin II is involved in blood pressure regulation, cell growth and angioneogenesis. The angiotensin receptors which mediate the intracellular effects of angiotensin II are expressed in numerous tissues and cell types. We studied the expression of angiotensin II receptors in cultured human skin fibroblasts derived from a skin biopsy. Angiotensin II binding characteristics were analyzed by radioligand binding assays. The DNA synthesis was assessed by [H]thymidine incorporation assays. Intracellular calcium concentrations were measured by fura-2 spectrofluorometry, and mRNA expression levels were analyzed by northern blot technology. Two distinct angiotensin receptors were detectable on human skin fibroblasts: the AT1 receptor with K d=1.0± 0.7 nmol/l and B max=17.9±0.9 fmol/mg protein, and an angiotensin(1–7) binding site with K d=26±6.6 nmol/l and B max=80.4±3.5 fmol/mg protein, as shown by competition binding assays using selective angiotensin II receptor antagonists and the heptapeptide angiotensin(1–7). The angiotensin AT1 receptor mRNA was substantially expressed in human skin fibroblasts and was subjected to homologous downregulation. In human skin fibroblasts angiotensin II caused a profound increase in intracellular calcium which was blocked by angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonists such as Exp-3174. Furthermore, both angiotensin II and angiotensin(1–7) led to increased DNA synthesis in human skin fibroblasts. In conclusion, cultured human skin fibroblasts express angiotensin AT1 receptors and a putatively new angiotensin receptor activated by angiotensin(1–7), both coupled to signaling pathways involved in DNA synthesis.

    Notes: Abstract In recent years there have been many studies demonstrating a correlation between increased arterial blood pressure and altered lipid profiles, and there has been an especially positive correlation between high cholesterol levels and blood pressure. There are differences between the various reports that are important. In our study the lipid distribution in 105 hypertensive patients with mild or moderate arterial hypertension according to WHO criteria without clinically or ultrasonographically apparent atherosclerosis was compared to the lipid distribution in 65 age-matched healthy persons. On the epidemiological level a significant, positive association was found between LDL serum levels (P ≤ 0.001), Apo B serum levels (P ≤ 0.001), serum triglyceride levels (P ≤ 0.05) and VLDL serum levels (P ≤ 0.01) and arterial hypertension. However, in contrast to recent reports, no significant difference was found between total serum cholesterol levels in normotensives and hypertensives, and there was no difference in HDL serum levels. No evidence could be found for a significant increase in lipoprotein (a) serum levels in hypertensives.

    Notes: Summary In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study the antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability of a single morning dose of either 10 mg bisoprolol (n=26) or 20 mg nitrendipine (n=27) were investigated. Blood pressure was measured by three techniques: (1) Casual blood pressure 24 h after the dose; (2) ambulatory 24-h whole-day monitoring; and (3) self-recorded blood pressure in the morning 24 h after the dose (6–8 a.m.) and in the evening (6–8 p.m.). After 4 weeks of therapy bisoprolol had produced a highly significant reduction in blood pressure as assessed by casual, ambulatory day- and night-time monitoring, and self-measured morning and evening readings. Bisoprolol was significantly more effective than nitrendipine, which did not induce a significant reduction in the ambulatory night-time recordings. Whole-day ambulatory blood pressure profiles showed an antihypertensive effect of bisoprolol throughout the entire 24-h period. 24-h blood pressure curves after nitrendipine demonstrated a markedly shorter duration of action, with no reduction in early morning blood pressure. Adverse effects and tolerability of the two drugs were comparable. The average changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after bisoprolol and nitrendipine in 2-h periods of ambulatory monitoring (6–8 a.m. and 6–8 p.m.) and self-measured blood pressure (6–8 a.m. and 6–8 p.m.) showed a good agreement between ambulatory and self-measured blood pressure determinations with no significant difference between the methods. The results show that 24 h antihypertensive efficacy was more pronounced for bisoprolol than for nitrendipine at the doses studied. Further, self-measured blood pressures at home were suitable for accurate estimation of the 12-h and 24-h antihypertensive efficacy of the two drugs. The methodological findings of this study have important implications for further pharmacological trials investigating the duration of action of antihypertensive drugs.

    Notes: Separation and Quantitation of All Eight Stereoisomers of α-Tocopherol by ChromatographyThe results of the analysis of several derivatives of (all-rac)-α-tocopherol by HPLC on a chiral stationary phase and by capillary GC on a achiral stationary phase are reported. Consecutive application of both methods to the ethyl-ether derivative allows the separation and quantification of all eight possible stereoisomers of (all-rac)-α-tocopherol.

    Notes: Thick-walled components subjected to pulsating internal pressure are widely applied in high-pressure technology and in manufacturing processes such as fluid-jet cutting and high-pressure cleaning, mainly in conjunction with reciprocating pumps. Corrosive fluids require high-strength and tough chrome-nickel steels with soft martensitic or semi-austenitic structure. This contribution reports on the fatigue of thick-walled plain and cross-bored pipes made from high alloy chrome-nickel steels such as X5 CrNiMoCu 21 8 and X5 CrNiMo 16 5. The speciments, uniaxial standard form and thick-walled pipes, were cut from forged blocks in the three axial directions. For loading with pulsating pressure, a suitable, high-frequency piston pulsation machine has been developed. The fatigue tests on pipe specimens show typical Woehler characteristics with only slight scatter and relatively good isotropy. The surprisingly large admissible pulsating pressure can be explained for the applied steels by dynamic generation of residual stresses as a result of shake-down effects. Presentation in a Smith digram explains the occuring dynamic shake-down and its favourable results in comparison to the more brittle highly tensile steels. It also reveals that heat treatment to higher tensile strength does not always yield an increase in the admissible pulsating pressure. It will be shown that static autofretting and shake-down affect the fatigue strength of thick-walled pipe specimens in the same way. Tests with internal liners in the tube specimens provide indications on the sensitivity of material failures towards fluids. The investigation aids the understanding of the fatigue behaviour and the design of components made of modern high-strength corrosion resistant steels.

    Notes: Titanium silicalite-1 samples of different particle size are synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Size histograms are taken from transmission electron micrographs. Temporal changes of activity and selectivity for the hydroxylation of phenol and anisole are monitored. It is postulated that the p/o product ratios are due to the greater chemisorption of the ortho molecule.

    Notes: Four chiral stationary phases containing modified cyclodextrines diluted in or chemically bonded to a non-chiral phase were used to resolve chiral organochlorine compounds such as α-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH), perdeuterated α-HCH (α-PDHCH), β-and γ-pentachlorocyclohexene (PCCH), oxychlordane, cis-and trans-chlor- dane, cis- and trans-heptachlorepoxide, PCB 95, PCB 132, PCB 149, and Chiral tozaphenes.The elution order was determined by analyzing standards with known enantiomeric excesses.Furthermore, an internal standard was used to even out slight variations in the ratio of peak hights of enantiomers which were determined from injection to injection.None of the chiral stationary phases resolved all chiral organochlorine compounds. However, the β-TBDM(35% heptakis (6-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin in OV 1701) column allowed the separation of all compounds under investigation except for PCB 95 and chiral toxaphenes.Emphasis was placed on the separation of as many as possible enantiomers on a chiral phase by application of one temperature program and with respect to unambiguous quantitation of biological samples such as bludder and liver of marine and terrestrial mammals.

    Notes: Perdeuterated α-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-PDHCH) was synthesized and isolated in pure form. α-PDHCH was baseline separated from unlabeled α-HCH by high resolution gas chromatography on different stationary phases. α-PDHCH was also resolved into its enantiomeric forms by application of a chiral GC phase. Furthermore, chiral chromatography of a mixture of labeled α-PDHDH and unlabeled α-HCH resulted in four peaks. Standard solutions of α-PDHCH are recommended both as recovery standard for sample clean-up and as internal standard for the quantitation of chlorinated hydrocarbons with GC/MS or GC/ECD in environmental samples.
