This study explores and examines the geomorphology of a large endorheic basin, approximately twice the size of Luxemburg, situated in the Etosha National Park, Namibia. The main focus is directed on how and when this depression, known as Etosha Pan, came into being. Geomorphological investigation was complemented and guided primarily by the application and interpretation of satellite-derived information. Etosha Pan has attracted scientific investigations for nearly a century. Unfortunately, their efforts resulted into two diverging and mutually exclusive views with respect to its development. The first and oldest view dates back to the 1920s. It hypothesized Etosha Pan as a desiccated palaeolake which was abandoned following the river capture of its major fluvial system, the Kunene River. The river capture was assumed to have taken place in the Pliocene/Early Pleistocene. In spite of the absence of fluvial input that the Kunene contributed, the original lake was thought to have persisted until some 35 ka ago, long after the Kunene severed its ties with the basin. The current size of the basin and its playa status was interpreted to have resulted from deteriorating climatic conditions. The opposing view emerged in the 1980s and gained prominence in the 1990s. This view assumed that there were an innumerable number of small pans on the then surface of what later to become Etosha Pan. Since the turn of the Pliocene to Early Pleistocene, these individual pans started to experience a combined effect of fluvial erosion during the rainy season and wind deflation during the dry period. The climatic regime during that entire period was postulated to be semi-arid as today. This climatic status was used to rule out any existence of a perennial lake within the boundary of Etosha since the Quaternary. Ultimately, these denudational processes, taking place in a seasonal rhythm, caused the individual pans to deepen and widen laterally into each other and formed a super-pan that we call Etosha today. Thus the Kunene River had no role to play in the development of the Etosha Pan according to this model. However, proponents of this model acknowledged that the Kunene once fed into the Owambo Basin and assigned the end of the Tertiary to the terminal phase of that inflow. Findings of this study included field evidence endorsing the postulation that the Kunene River had once flowed into the Owambo Basin. Its infilled valley, bounding with the contemporary valley of the Kunene near Calueque, was identified and points towards the Etosha Pan. It is deliberated that a large lake, called Lake Kunene, existed in the basin during the time. Following the deflection of the Kunene River to the coast under the influence of river incision and neo-tectonic during the Late Pliocene, new dynamics were introduced over the Owambo Basin surface. After the basin was deprived of its major water and sediment budget that the Kunene River contributed, it was left with only smaller rivers, most notably the Cuvelai System, as the only remaining supplier. This resulted in the Cuvelai System concentrating and limiting its collective load deposition to a lobe of Lake Kunene basin floor. The accident of that lobe is unclear, but it is likely that it constituted the deepest part of the basin at the time or it was influenced by neo-tectonic that helped divert the Kunene River or both. Against the backdrop of fluvial action that was initiating the new lake, most parts of the rest of the basin, then denied of lacustrine activity, were intermittently riddled with a veneer of sediment, especially during phases of intensified aeolian activity. In the mean time, the area that was regularly receiving fluvial input started to shape up as a distinct lake with the depositions of sediments around the water-body, primarily via littoral action, serving as embankment. Gradually, a shoreline is formed and assisted in fixing and delineating the spatial extent of the new and much smaller lake, called Lake Etosha. That Lake Etosha is the predecessor of the modern day Etosha Pan. Indicators for a perennial lake found in this study at Etosha include fossil fragments of Clariidae species comparable to modern species measuring some 90 cm, and those of sitatunga dated to approximately 5 ka. None of these creatures exist today at Etosha because of their ecological requirements, which among others, include permanent water. The sitatunga, in addition, is known as the only truly amphibious antelope in the world. Since its inception, the new lake underwent a number of geomorphological modifications. A prominent character amongst these modifications is the orientation of the lake, which has its long-axis oriented in the ENE-WSW direction. It resulted from wave action affected by the prevailing dominant northeasterly wind, which is believed to have been in force since the Middle Pleistocene. Lake Etosha has also witnessed phases of waning and waxing under the influence of the prevailing climatic regime. Over the last 150 ka, the available data intercepted about seven phases of high lake levels. These data are generally in agreement with regional palaeoclimatic data, particularly when compared with those obtained from neighbouring Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana. The last recorded episode of the wet phase at Etosha was some 2,400 years before the present.
The Amduat is one of the most important Netherworld Books which was recorded in various kinds of Ancient Egyptian sources since the beginning of the 18th dynasty, especially the walls of the royal tombs. The main theme of the Amduat is the journey of the sun god through the underworld where the solar bark and its crew is the central scene of the journey. The study focuses on finding the reasons of choosing the crew’s members who manage the sun bark’s journey in the Amduat. It also aims at illustrating the functions and responsibilities of each crew member. Following a historical approach, the study analyzes the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts as the most important documents before the New Kingdom, and proceeding to the inscriptions and writings of the monuments which contain portrayals and inscriptions of the Amduat in the New Kingdom. Furthermore, it sheds some light on the solar cycle’s main features and primary aspects, and tries to scrutinize the date, meaning, and symbolisms of the Amduat and its indications in the earlier sources.
In dieser nach Jahrzehnten ersten deutschsprachigen Monografie über die Thomasakten (ActThom) geht es um zentrale Themen dieser Schrift, die in das frühe dritte Jahrhundert zu datieren und im syrischen Raum zu lokalisieren ist. Nachdem die Forderung nach einem asketischen Lebensstil – vor allem nach sexueller Enthaltsamkeit – die Akten prägt, ergeben sich Fragen: Wie realisiert die Erzählung die Askeseforderung in sprachlicher Hinsicht? Welche biblischen Motive haben Einfluss auf die Thomasakten? Welche Vorstellungen können als weiterer ideologischer Hintergrund für diese radikalen Absichten reklamiert werden? Gibt es einen „Ersatz“ für den Verzicht, den die Thomaschristen üben müssen? Welche Rolle spielt in dem Kontext das schillernde Brautlied (ActThom 6f.)? Haben antike Hochzeitsrituale einen Einfluss auf die Bilderwelt der Akten, die so engagiert für die „wahre Hochzeit“ (ActThom 12,10) werben?
Die Studie orientiert sich an den etablierten Methodenschritten der historisch-kritischen Exegese und integriert auch neuere narratologische Verfahren, die sich bei einem erzählenden Text wie den ActThom anbieten. Den textlichen Schwerpunkt bildet die so genannte erste Tat der Thomasakten, die paradigmatischen Charakter für die ganze Schrift besitzt.
Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sind etwa: ein literarkritisch begründetes Textwachstum, eine christologisch begründete Sexualaskese insbesondere in den redaktionellen Textpartien, eine Kompensation des Verzichts auf eine leibliche Nachkommenschaft durch „lebendige Kinder“ (Neubekehrte), eine starke Verwobenheit von Erzähl- und Redeteilen, die den symbolisch-metaphorischen Charakter der Thomasakten betont und eine kreative Adaption antiker Hochzeitsriten mit dem Ziel der Inkulturation der eigenen Anliegen.
Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common form of dementia with still no preventive or curative treatment. Besides several risk factors, age is one of the major risks for AD and with an aging society, there is an urgent need for disease modifying agents. The strategy to address only one target within the intertwined network of AD failed so far.
Natural products especially the phytochemical flavonoids, which are poly-phenolic natural products, have shown great potential as disease modifying agents against neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer´s disease (AD) with activities even in vivo. Flavonoids are produced by many plants and the native Californian plant Eriodictyon californicum is particularly rich in flavonoids. One of the major flavonoids of E. californicum is sterubin, a very potent agent against oxidative stress and inflammation, two hallmarks and drivers of AD and neurodegeneration. Herein, racemic sterubin was synthesized and separated into its pure (R)- and (S)-enantiomer by chiral HPLC. The pure enantiomers showed comparable neuroprotection in vitro with no significant differences. The stereoisomers were configurationally stable in methanol, but fast racemization was observed in culture medium. Moreover, the activity of sterubin was investigated in vivo, in an AD mouse model. Sterubin showed a significant positive impact on short- and long-term memory at low dosages.
A promising concept for the increase of activity of single flavonoids is hybridization with aromatic acids like cinnamic or ferulic acids. Hybridization of the natural products taxifolin and silibinin with cinnamic acid led to an overadditive effect of these compounds in phenotypic screening assays related to neurodegeneration and AD. Because there are more potent agents as taxifolin or silibinin, the hybrids were further developed, and different flavonoid cinnamic acid hybrids were synthesized. The connection between flavonoids and cinnamic acid was achieved by an amide instead of a labile ester to improve the stability towards hydrolysis to gain better “druggability” of the compounds. To investigate the oxidation state of the C-ring of the flavonoid part, the dehydro analogues of the respective hybrids were also synthesized. The compounds show neuroprotection against oxytosis, ferroptosis and ATP-depletion in the murine hippocampal cell line HT22. While no overall trend within the flavanones compared to the flavones could be assigned, the taxifolin and the quercetin derivative were the most active compounds in course of all assays. The quercetin derivate even shows greater activity than the taxifolin derivate in every assay. As desired no hydrolysis product was found in cellular uptake experiments after 4h, whereas different metabolites were found. The last part of this work focused on synthetic bioisoteres of the natural product curcumin. Due to the drawbacks of curcumin and flavonoids arising from poor pharmacokinetics, rapid metabolism and sometimes instability in aqueous medium, we have examined the biological activity of azobenzene compounds designed as bioisoteres of curcumin, carrying the pharmacophoric catechol group of flavonoids. These bioisosteres exceeded their parent compounds in counteracting intracellular oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and amyloid-beta aggregation. By incorporating an azobenzene moiety and the isosteric behaviour to the natural parent compounds, these compounds may act as molecular tools for further investigation towards the molecular mode of action of natural products.
The present thesis adress the synthesis and characterization of novel COFs that contain dye molecules as integral components of the organic backbone. These chromophore-containing frameworks open new research lines in the field and call for the exploration of applications such as catalysis, sensing, or in optoelectronic devices. Initially, the fabrication of organic-inorganic composites by the growth of DPP TAPP COF around functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles is reported. By varying the ratio between inorganic nanoparticles and organic COFs, optoelectronic properties of the materials are adjusted. The document also reports the synthesis of a novel boron dipyrromethene-containing (BODIPY) COF. Synthesis, full characterization and the scope of potential applications with a focus on environmental remediation are discussed in detail. Last, a novel diketopyrrolopyrrole-containing (DPP) DPP-Py-COF based on the combination of DDP and pyrene building blocks is presented. The very low bandgap of these materials and initial investigations on the photosensitizing properties are discussed.
During the last decades the number of biologics increased dramatically and several biopharmaceutical drugs such as peptides, therapeutic proteins, hormones, enzymes, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates conquered the market. Moreover, administration and local delivery of growth factors has gained substantial importance in the field of tissue engineering. Despite progress that has been made over the last decades formulation and delivery of therapeutic proteins is still a challenge. Thus, we worked on formulation and delivery strategies of therapeutic proteins to improve their biological performance.
Phase I of this work deals with protein stability with the main focus on a liquid protein formulation of the dimeric fusion protein PR-15, a lesion specific platelet adhesion inhibitor. In order to develop an adequate formulation ensuring the stability and bioactivity of PR-15 during storage at 4 °C, a pH screening, a forced degradation and a Design of Experiments (DoE) was performed. First the stability and bioactivity of PR-15 in 50 mM histidine buffer in relation to pH was evaluated in a short-term storage stability study at 25 °C and 40 °C for 4 and 8 weeks using different analytical methods. Additionally, potential degradation pathways of PR-15 were investigated under stressed conditions such as heat treatment, acidic or basic pH, freeze-thaw cycles, light exposure, induced oxidation and induced deamidation during the forced degradation study. Moreover, we were able to identify the main degradation product of PR-15 by performing LC/ESI-MS analysis. Further optimization of the injectable PR 15 formulation concerning pH, the choice of buffer and the addition of excipients was studied in the following DoE and finally an optimal PR-15 formulation was found.
The growth factors BMP-2, IGF-I and TGF-β3 were selected for the differentiation of stem cells for tissue engineering of cartilage and bone in order to prepare multifunctionalized osteochondral implants for the regeneration of cartilage defects.
Silk fibroin (SF) was chosen as biomaterial because of its biocompatibility, mechanical properties and its opportunity for biofunctionalization. Ideal geometry of SF scaffolds with optimal porosity was found in order to generate both tissues on one scaffold.
The growth factors BMP-2 and IGF-I were modified to allow spatially restricted covalent immobilization on the generated porous SF scaffolds. In order to perform site-directed covalent coupling by the usage of click chemistry on two opposite sides of the scaffold, we genetically engineered BMP-2 (not shown in this work; performed by Barbara Tabisz) and IGF-I for the introduction of alkyne or azide bearing artificial amino acids. TGF β3 was immobilized to beads through common EDC/NHS chemistry requiring no modification and distributed in the pores of the entire scaffold.
For this reason protein modification, protein engineering, protein immobilization and bioconjugation are investigated in phase II. Beside the synthesis the focus was on the characterization of such modified proteins and its conjugates. The field of protein engineering offers a wide range of possibilities to modify existing proteins or to design new proteins with prolonged serum half-life, increased conformational stability or improved release rates according to their clinical use.
Site-directed click chemistry and non-site-directed EDC/NHS chemistry were used for bioconjugation and protein immobilization with the aim to underline the preferences of site-directed coupling.
We chose three strategies for the incorporation of alkyne or azide functionality for the performance of click reaction into the protein of interest: diazonium coupling reaction, PEGylation and genetic engineering. Azido groups were successfully introduced into SF by implementation of diazonium coupling and alkyne, amino or acid functionality was incorporated into FGF-2 as model protein by means of thiol PEGylation. The proper folding of FGF-2 after PEGylation was assessed by fluorescence spectroscopy, WST-1 proliferation assay ensured moderate bioactivity and the purity of PEGylated FGF-2 samples was monitored with RP-HPLC. Moreover, the modification of native FGF-2 with 10 kDa PEG chains resulted in enhanced thermal stability.
Additionally, we genetically engineered one IGF-I mutant by incorporating the unnatural amino acid propargyl-L-lysine (plk) at position 65 into the IGF-I amino acid sequence and were able to express hardly verifiable amounts of plk-IGF-I. Consequently, plk-IGF-I expression has to be further optimized in future studies in order to generate plk-IGF-I with higher yields.
Bioconjugation of PEGylated FGF-2 with functionalized silk was performed in solution and was successful for click as well as EDC/NHS chemistry. However, substantial amounts of unreacted PEG-FGF-2 were adsorbed to SF and could not be removed from the reaction mixture making it impossible to expose the advantages of click chemistry in relation to EDC/NHS chemistry. The immobilization of PEG-FGF-2 to microspheres was a trial to increase product yield and to remove unreacted PEG-FGF-2 from reaction mixture. Bound PEG-FGF-2 was visualized by fluorescence imaging or flow cytometry and bioactivity was assessed by analysis of the proliferation of NIH 3T3 cells. However, immobilization on beads raised the same issue as in solution: adsorption caused by electrostatic interactions of positively charged FGF-2 and negatively charged SF or beads. Finally, we were not able to prove superiority of site-directed click chemistry over non-site-directed EDC/NHS.
The skills and knowledge in protein immobilization as well as protein characterization acquired during phase II helped us in phase III to engineer cartilage tissue in biofunctionalized SF scaffolds.
The approach of covalent immobilization of the required growth factors is relevant because of their short in vivo half-lives and aimed at controlling their bioavailability. So TGF-β3 was covalently coupled by means of EDC/NHS chemistry to biocompatible and biostable PMMA beads. Herein, we directly compared bioactivity of covalently coupled and adsorbed TGF-β3. During the so-called luciferase assay bioactivity of covalent coupled as well as adsorbed TGF-β3 on PMMA beads was ensured. In order to investigate the real influence of EDC/NHS chemistry on TGF-β3’s bioactivity, the amount of immobilized TGF-β3 on PMMA beads was determined. Therefore, an ELISA method was established. The assessment of total amount of TGF-β3 immobilized on the PMMA beads allowed as to calculate coupling efficiency. A significantly higher coupling efficiency was determined for the coupling of TGF-β3 via EDC/NHS chemistry compared to the reaction without coupling reagents indicating a small amount of adsorbed TGF-β3. These results provide opportunity to determine the consequence of coupling by means of EDC/NHS chemistry for TGF β3 bioactivity. At first sight, no statistically significant difference between covalent immobilized and adsorbed TGF-β3 was observed regarding relative luciferase activities. But during comparison of total and active amount of TGF-β3 on PMMA beads detected by ELISA or luciferase assay, respectively, a decrease of TGF-β3’s bioactivity became apparent. Nevertheless, immobilized TGF β3 was further investigated in combination with SF scaffolds in order to drive BMSCs to the chondrogenic lineage. According to the results obtained through histological and immunohistochemical studies, biochemical assays as well as qRT-PCR of gene expression from BMSCs after 21 days in culture immobilized TGF-β3 was able to engineer cartilage tissue. These findings support the thesis that local presentation of TGF β3 is superior towards exogenous TGF β3 for the development of hyaline cartilage. Furthermore, we conclude that covalent immobilized TGF β3 is not only superior towards exogenously supplemented TGF-β3 but also superior towards adsorbed TGF-β3 for articular hyaline cartilage tissue engineering. Diffusion processes were inhibited through covalent immobilization of TGF-β3 to PMMA beads and thereby a stable and consistent TGF-β3 concentration was maintained in the target area.
With the knowledge acquired during phase II and III as well as during the studies of Barbara Tabisz concerning the expression and purification of plk-BMP-2 we made considerable progress towards the formation of multifunctionalized osteochondral implants for the regeneration of cartilage defects. However, further studies are required for the translation of these insights into the development of multifunctionalized osteochondral SF scaffolds.
Stem cell- and growth factor-based regenerative therapies for avascular necrosis of the femoral head
(2012)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a debilitating disease of multifactorial genesis, predominately affects young patients, and often leads to the development of secondary osteoarthritis. The evolving field of regenerative medicine offers promising treatment strategies using cells, biomaterial scaffolds, and bioactive factors, which might improve clinical outcome. Early stages of AVN with preserved structural integrity of the subchondral plate are accessible to retrograde surgical procedures, such as core decompression to reduce the intraosseous pressure and to induce bone remodeling. The additive application of concentrated bone marrow aspirates, ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stem cells, and osteogenic or angiogenic growth factors (or both) holds great potential to improve bone regeneration. In contrast, advanced stages of AVN with collapsed subchondral bone require an osteochondral reconstruction to preserve the physiological joint function. Analogously to strategies for osteochondral reconstruction in the knee, anterograde surgical techniques, such as osteochondral transplantation (mosaicplasty), matrix-based autologous chondrocyte implantation, or the use of acellular scaffolds alone, might preserve joint function and reduce the need for hip replacement. This review summarizes recent experimental accomplishments and initial clinical findings in the field of regenerative medicine which apply cells, growth factors, and matrices to address the clinical problem of AVN.
Von Januar 1981 bis Juni 2005 erfolgte bei 87 Patienten in der Klinik und Poliklinik für Mund-, Kiefer-, Gesichtschirurgie der Universität Würzburg eine Rekonstruktion der Nase nach ablativer Chirurgie und Trauma. Ziel der Untersuchung war eine deskriptive Darstellung der Behandlungsmethoden ausgedehnter Defekte an der Nase. Das Patientengut wurde retrospektiv erfasst. Dabei handelt es sich um 81 Tumor- und 6 Traumapatienten. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung wurden 23 (26,4%) Patienten anhand einer visuellen Analogskala im Bezug auf Lebensqualität, Ästhetik und Funktion befragt; gleichzeitig erfolgte eine Beurteilung der Ästhetik durch den Zweituntersucher und meine Person. Die ausgedehnten Nasendefekte des vorgestellten Patientengutes wurden am häufigsten durch gefäßgestielte paramediane Stirnlappen (17 Patienten, 19,5%) versorgt. Der paramediane Stirnlappen stellt in der Klinik und Poliklinik für Mund-, Kiefer-,Gesichtschirurgie der Universität Würzburg eine bevorzugte Operationsmethode dar. Zur Rekonstruktion von ausgedehnten Nasendefekten stehen neben dem paramedianen Stirnlappen, je nach Indikationsstellung, weitere häufig angewandte operative Wiederherstellungsverfahren zur Verfügung. In der Klinik und Poliklinik für Mund-, Kiefer-,Gesichtschirurgie der Universität Würzburg wurden 15 (17,2%) Patienten mit Vollhauttransplantaten von supraclaviculär, 14 (16,1%) Patienten mit Schwenklappen aus der Nasolabial- und Wangenregion oder Rotationslappen und 9 (10,3%) Patienten mit mikrochirurgisch reanastomosierten Radialislappen versorgt. Die Literaturübersicht bestätigt die vorliegenden Untersuchungsergebnisse.
Beschäftigt man sich mit der griechischen Religion, beschäftigt man sich zwangsläufig auch mit der griechischen Polis. Denn sie war Trägerin der griechischen Religion. So sind die sich daraus ergebenden „sakralen Landschaften“ im Sinne der Humangeographie bzw. Raumsoziologie eine Konstruktion von Raum und damit ein relationales System, das vielfachen Formen der Umgestaltung unterliegt. Denn Religion ist genauso wie der Raum nicht statisch konstruiert. Vielmehr beschreibt sie ein Spannungsfeld von Kontinuitäten, Umdeutungen und Brüchen. wie sie sich besonders in Zeiten des Wandels offenbaren. Eine solche Phase bedeutete auch die Integration Griechenlands in das Römische Reich. So galt das Hauptinteresse der Arbeit der Periode nach Oktavians Sieg bei Actium und der darauffolgenden Etablierung der Provinz Achaia 27 v. Chr. bis hin zu Caracallas constitutio Antoniniana. Der geographische Rahmen orientierte sich an den peloponnesischen Regionen Achaia, Argolis und Arkadien. Sie ermöglichten es, das römische Griechenland jenseits der immer wieder erwähnten Orte Athen, Sparta und Korinth zu erfassen. Die Ergebnisse werden zusammen mit historischen Fakten, Siedlungsstrukturen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen in einem ersten, topographisch orientierten Abschnitt formuliert. Im zweiten Teil der Abhandlung steht dagegen eine gesonderte Untersuchung übergreifender Phänomene und ihre Einbindung in einen weitergefaßten geographischen Kontext im Vordergrund.

While the tribal cycles in Oxyrhynchos are fairly well attested from AD 206 until 271, no system has been proposed for other periods or other metropoleis. On the basis of recently published texts a first attempt is made to reconstruct the tribal cycles in Oxyrhynchus and Hermopolis for the later part of the 4th century.
Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurden optische Eigenschaften von halbleitenden, einwandigen Kohlenstoffnanoröhren (SWNTs) der (6,5)-Chiralität untersucht. Dies gelang durch Ensemblemessungen aber vor allem durch den Aufbau eines Mikroskops zur Messung an einzelnen SWNTs. Dieses Einzel- SWNT-Mikroskop ermöglichte nebst „normaler“ Bildgebung durch Sammlung und Abbildung der nahinfraroten Photolumineszenz (PL) der (6,5)-SWNTs auch die spektral- und zeitaufgelöste Untersuchung der PL. Durch Verwendung von Dichtegradientenultrazentrifugation (DGU) zur chiralen Aufreinigung des SWNT-Rohmaterials konnten alle Messungen unter Minimierung des störenden Einflusses von Aggregaten oder SWNTs anderer Chiralität durchgeführt werden. Untersucht und bestimmt wurde der Absorptionsquerschnitt und die Exzitonengröße, die PL-Eigenschaften aggregierter SWNTs und der Einfluß der Permittivität auf die PL einzelner SWNTs.

Die vorliegende Dissertationsarbeit ist ein integraler Bestandteil einer umfassenderen klinischen Studie, die Daten zur Entwicklung von Modellen zu möglichen Zusammenhängen zwischen Parodontitis und koronarer Herzkrankheit liefern soll. Definiertes Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchung war es, zu analysieren, ob und bezüglich welcher Parameter sich die parodontale Gesundheit von Patienten mit akutem Myocardinfarkt signifikant von derjenigen alterskorrelierter Kontrollpersonen mit vergleichbarem sozialem Hintergrund unterscheidet, bei denen die Präsenz einer akuten koronaren Herzerkrankung diagnostisch sicher ausgeschlossen werden konnte. Die Studienpopulation bestand aus einer Testgruppe mit insgesamt 27 Personen mit diagnostisch zweifelsfrei verifiziertem Myocardinfarkt sowie einer Kontrollgruppe mit 36 Patienten, bei denen nach umfassender Diagnostik das Vorliegen eines akuten Herzinfarktes definitiv ausgeschlossen werden konnte. Die Patienten der Kontrollgruppe waren ebenfalls wegen anderer Erkrankungen in stationärer Behandlung. Die Infarktpatienten waren durchschnittlich 56,5 Jahre alt, die Mitglieder der Kontrollgruppe 60,8 Jahre alt. Untersuchte Parameter waren die Bildung bakterieller Zahnbeläge, das Auftreten von Zahnfleischbluten, die Taschensondierungstiefe sowie die Blutung auf Sondierung. Die statistische Analyse enthüllte für die Gruppe der Myocardinfarktpatienten eine signifikant stärker ausgeprägte Neigung zu Zahnfleischbluten, signifikant häufiger auftretende Sondierungsblutungen sowie signifikant ausgeprägtere Taschensondierungstiefen im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe. Bezüglich der Bildung bakterieller Zahnbeläge ergaben sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den beiden experimentellen Gruppen. Die Daten dieser Studie belegen eine signifikante Korrelation zwischen der Manifestation eines akuten myocardialen Infarktes und dem Auftreten ausgeprägter Entzündungssymptome am Parodont. Die in der Testgruppe ebenfalls signifikant ausgeprägteren Taschensondierungstiefen lassen vermuten, dass die beobachtete parodontale Entzündung nicht nur Ausdruck einer vom Myocardinfarkt induzierten allgemeinen Stimulation der Entzündungsbereitschaft des Körpers darstellt, sondern selbst aktiv mit der Entstehung der myocardialen Läsion verbunden ist.
Die Pseudarthrose des mittleren Claviculadrittels stellt sich oft mit lokalen Schmerzen, Bewegungseinschränkung und neurologischen oder Durchblutungsstörungen dar. Für ein gutes postoperatives Ergebnis ist die anatomisch korrekte und mechanisch stabile Rekonstruktion unerlässlich. In dieser Arbeit wurden Patienten mit der anatomisch präkonturierten Meves-Kompressionsplatte behandelt. Es konnte eine sichere Heilung der Claviculapseudarthrose mit gutem bis sehr gutem klinischen Ergebnis unter der Verwendung der anatomisch präkonturierten Meves-Kompressionsplatte erzielt werden.
Herein described is the discovery of three novel types of dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, named mbandakamines, cyclombandakamines, and spirombandakamines. They were found in the leaves of a botanically as yet unidentified, potentially new Ancistrocladus species, collected in the rainforest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mbandakamines showed an exceptional 6′,1′′-coupling, in the peri-position neighboring one of the outer axes, leading to an extremely high steric hindrance at the central axis, and to U-turn-like molecular shape, which – different from all other dimeric NIQs, whose basic structures are all quite linear – brings three of the four bicyclic ring systems in close proximity to each other. This created an unprecedented follow-up chemistry, involving ring closure reactions, leading to two further, structurally even more intriguing subclasses, the cyclo- and the spirombandakamines, displaying eight stereogenic elements (the highest total number ever found in naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids). The metabolites exhibited pronounced antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities. Likewise reported in this doctoral thesis are the isolation and structural elucidation of naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids from two further potentially new Ancistrocladus species from DRC. Some of these metabolites have shown pronounced antiausterity activities against human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells.
Having control over the landscape played an important role in the geography and economy of Egypt from the predynastic period onwards. Especially from the beginning of the Old Kingdom, we have evidence that kings created new places (funerary domains) called (centers) and (Ezbah) for the equipment of the building projects of the royal tomb and the funerary cult of the king, as well as to ensure the eternal life of both kings and individuals. Kings used these localities in order to do so, and they oftentimes expanded the border of an existing nome and created new establishments. Consequently, these establishments were united or divided into new nomes. The paper discusses the geography of Lower Egypt and the associated royal domains in the early Fifth Dynasty based on the new discoveries from the causeway of Sahura at Abusir.
