Noise formation in the biocatalytic reactions and its decrease by adding a "filter" system, converting convex to sigmoid response function, are discussed. Despite the fact that the enzyme-based logic gates are primarily considered as components of future biomolecular computing systems, their biosensing applications are promising for immediate practical use. Analytical use of the enzyme logic systems in biomedical and forensic applications is discussed and exemplified with the logic analysis of biomarkers of various injuries, e.g., liver injury, and with analysis of biomarkers characteristic of different ethnicity found in blood samples on a crime scene. Interfacing of enzyme logic systems with modified electrodes and semiconductor devices is discussed, giving particular attention to the interfaces functionalized with signal-responsive materials. Future perspectives in the design of the biomolecular logic systems and their applications are discussed in the conclusion.}, language = {en} } @article{ZangeSchopenAlbrachtetal.2017, author = {Zange, Jochen and Schopen, Kathrin and Albracht, Kirsten and Gerlach, Darius A. and Frings-Meuthen, Petra and Maffiuletti, Nicola A. and Bloch, Wilhelm and Rittweger, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Using the Hephaistos orthotic device to study countermeasure effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and dietary lupin protein supplementation, a randomised controlled trial}, series = {Plos one}, volume = {12}, journal = {Plos one}, number = {2}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0171562}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{HonarvarfardGamellaChannaveerappaetal.2017, author = {Honarvarfard, Elham and Gamella, Maria and Channaveerappa, Devika and Darie, Costel C. and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Katz, Evgeny}, title = {Electrochemically Stimulated Insulin Release from a Modified Graphene-functionalized Carbon Fiber Electrode}, series = {Electroanalysis}, volume = {29}, journal = {Electroanalysis}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-4109}, doi = {10.1002/elan.201700095}, pages = {1543 -- 1553}, year = {2017}, abstract = {A graphene-functionalized carbon fiber electrode was modified with adsorbed polyethylenimine to introduce amino functionalities and then with trigonelline and 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid covalently bound to the amino groups. The trigonelline species containing quarterized pyridine groups produced positive charge on the electrode surface regardless of the pH value, while the phenylboronic acid species were neutral below pH 8 and negatively charged above pH 9 (note that their pKa=8.4). The total charge on the monolayer-modified electrode was positive at the neutral pH and negative at pH > 9. Note that 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid was attached to the electrode surface in molar excess to trigonelline, thus allowing the negative charge to dominate on the electrode surface at basic pH. Negatively charged fluorescent dye-labeled insulin (insulin-FITC) was loaded on the modified electrode surface at pH 7.0 due to its electrostatic attraction to the positively charged interface. The local pH in close vicinity to the electrode surface was increased to ca. 9-10 due to consumption of H+ ions upon electrochemical reduction of oxygen proceeding at the potential of -1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) applied on the modified electrode. The process resulted in recharging of the electrode surface to the negative value due to the formation of the negative charge on the phenylboronic acid groups, thus resulting in the electrostatic repulsion of insulin-FITC and stimulating its release from the electrode surface. The insulin release was characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy (using the FITC-labeled insulin), by electrochemical measurements on an iridium oxide, IrOx, electrode and by mass spectrometry. The graphene-functionalized carbon fiber electrode demonstrated significant advantages in the signal-stimulated insulin release comparing with the carbon fiber electrode without the graphene species.}, language = {en} } @article{HacklWegmannKahmannetal.2017, author = {Hackl, Michael and Wegmann, Kilian and Kahmann, Stephanie Lucina and Heinze, Nicolai and Staat, Manfred and Neiss, Wolfram F. and Scaal, Martin and M{\"u}ller, Lars P.}, title = {Radial shortening osteotomy reduces radiocapitellar contact pressures while preserving valgus stability of the elbow}, series = {Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy}, volume = {25}, journal = {Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy}, number = {7}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1433-7347}, doi = {10.1007/s00167-017-4468-z}, pages = {2280 -- 2288}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{KolditzAlbinBrueggemannetal.2016, author = {Kolditz, Melanie and Albin, Thivaharan and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gert-Peter and Abel, Dirk and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Robotergest{\"u}tztes System f{\"u}r ein verbessertes neuromuskul{\"a}res Aufbautraining der Beinstrecker}, series = {at - Automatisierungstechnik}, volume = {64}, journal = {at - Automatisierungstechnik}, number = {11}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2196-677X}, doi = {10.1515/auto-2016-0044}, pages = {905 -- 914}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Neuromuskul{\"a}res Aufbautraining der Beinstrecker ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil in der Rehabilitation und Pr{\"a}vention von Muskel-Skelett-Erkrankungen.
