This strain is crucial for mechanically controlling the cell shape, function and survival. In this study, the CellDrum technology quantifying cell's (the cellular) mechanical tension on a pico-scale was used to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on human aortic endothelial cell (HAoEC) tension. The LPS effect during gram-negative sepsis on endothelial cells is cell contraction causing endothelium permeability increase. The aim was to finding out whether recombinant activated protein C (rhAPC) would reverse the endothelial cell response in an in-vitro sepsis model. In this study, the established in-vitro sepsis model was confirmed by interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels at the proteomic and genomic levels by ELISA, real time-PCR and reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation by florescence staining. The thrombin cellular contraction effect on endothelial cells was used as a positive control when the CellDrum technology was applied. Additionally, the Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA) mRNA expression level was checked by real time-PCR to support contractile tension results. According to contractile tension results, the mechanical predominance of actin stress fibers was a reason of the increased endothelial contractile tension leading to enhanced endothelium contractility and thus permeability enhancement. The originality of this data supports firstly the basic measurement principles of the CellDrum technology and secondly that rhAPC has a beneficial effect on sepsis influenced cellular tension. The technology presented here is promising for future high-throughput cellular tension analysis that will help identify pathological contractile tension responses of cells and prove further cell in-vitro models.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KurulganDemirciLinderDemircietal.2010, author = {Kurulgan Demirci, Eylem and Linder, Peter and Demirci, Taylan and Gierkowski, Jessica R. and Digel, Ilya and Gossmann, Matthias and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {rhAPC reduces the endothelial cell permeability via a decrease of cellular mechanical contractile tensions : [abstract]}, year = {2010}, abstract = {In this study, the CellDrum technology quanitfying cellular mechanical tension on a pico-scale was used to investigate the effect of LPS (lipopolysaccharide) on HAoEC (Human Aortic Endothelial Cell) tension.}, subject = {Endothelzelle}, language = {en} } @article{KurulganDemirciLinderDemircietal.2009, author = {Kurulgan Demirci, Eylem and Linder, Peter and Demirci, Taylan and Trzewik, J{\"u}rgen and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Contractile tension of endothelial cells: An LPS based in-vitro sepsis model}, series = {IUBMB Life. 61 (2009), H. 3}, journal = {IUBMB Life. 61 (2009), H. 3}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, isbn = {1521-6543}, pages = {307 -- 308}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{KurzLinderTrzewiketal.2010, author = {Kurz, R. and Linder, Peter and Trzewik, J{\"u}rgen and R{\"u}ffer, M. and Artmann, Gerhard and Digel, Ilya and Rothermel, A. and Robitzki, A. and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Contractile tension and beating rates of self-exciting monolayers and 3D-tissue constructs of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes}, series = {Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing}, volume = {48}, journal = {Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, issn = {1741-0444}, doi = {10.1007/s11517-009-0552-y}, pages = {59 -- 65}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The CellDrum technology (The term 'CellDrum technology' includes a couple of slightly different technological setups for measuring lateral mechanical tension in various types of cell monolayers or 3D-tissue constructs) was designed to quantify the contraction rate and mechanical tension of self-exciting cardiac myocytes. Cells were grown either within flexible, circular collagen gels or as monolayer on top of respective 1-mum thin silicone membranes. Membrane and cells were bulged outwards by air pressure. This biaxial strain distribution is rather similar the beating, blood-filled heart. The setup allowed presetting the mechanical residual stress level externally by adjusting the centre deflection, thus, mimicking hypertension in vitro. Tension was measured as oscillating differential pressure change between chamber and environment. A 0.5-mm thick collagen-cardiac myocyte tissue construct induced after 2 days of culturing (initial cell density 2 x 10(4) cells/ml), a mechanical tension of 1.62 +/- 0.17 microN/mm(2). Mechanical load is an important growth regulator in the developing heart, and the orientation and alignment of cardiomyocytes is stress sensitive. Therefore, it was necessary to develop the CellDrum technology with its biaxial stress-strain distribution and defined mechanical boundary conditions. Cells were exposed to strain in two directions, radially and circumferentially, which is similar to biaxial loading in real heart tissues. Thus, from a biomechanical point of view, the system is preferable to previous setups based on uniaxial stretching.}, language = {en} } @article{KuehnHaugnerStaatetal.2004, author = {K{\"u}hn, Raoul-Roman and Haugner, Werner and Staat, Manfred and Sponagel, Stefan}, title = {A Two Phase Mixture Model based on Bone Observation}, year = {2004}, abstract = {An optimization method is developed to describe the mechanical behaviour of the human cancellous bone.

Sie treten in unmittelbarer N{\"a}he des eigenen Todes auf. Oft, aber nicht immer, handelt es sich dabei um Erfahrungen von Personen, die durch {\"a}rztliche Maßnahmen wiederbelebt wurden und sp{\"a}ter davon berichten (NTE-ler). Jedoch kommen solche Ph{\"a}nomene auch bei Menschen vor, die w{\"a}hrend einer schweren Erkrankung eine lebensbedrohliche Krise haben, hiervon aber spontan genesen. Den NTE {\"a}hnlich sind auch sogenannte Nachtod-erfahrungen sowie spontane Erlebnisse, die im Rahmen anderer außergew{\"o}hnlicher Stresssituationen auftreten. Von Nachtoderfahrungen spricht man, wenn die Betroffenen anl{\"a}sslich des Todes von geliebten Angeh{\"o}rigen oder Freunden Erlebnisse haben, die inhaltlich ebenfalls, zumindest aber teilweise, denen von NTE entsprechen. Nachtoderfahrungen sowie spontane NTE-{\"a}hnliche Erlebnisse unterscheiden sich jedoch von den echten NTE zumeist sowohl quantitativ als auch qualitativ. Unter einem quantitativen Unterschied versteht man in diesem Zusammenhang eine in der Regel geringer ausgepr{\"a}gte Komplexit{\"a}t, als sie sehr vielen NTE zu eigen ist. Da sich aber auch viele NTE selbst bez{\"u}glich ihrer Komplexit{\"a}t unterscheiden, ist der Hauptunterschied qualitativer Natur: Echte NTE besitzen gegen{\"u}ber den anderen hier erw{\"a}hnten Ph{\"a}nomenen eine gr{\"o}ßere inhaltliche und emotionale Tiefe. Sie begleiten die Betroffenen anschließend ein Leben lang - zumeist mit positiven, in Einzelf{\"a}llen aber auch mit negativen Folgen, die bis zu einem sp{\"a}teren Suizid reichen k{\"o}nnen. Die genannten außergew{\"o}hnlichen Bewusstseinsph{\"a}nomene lassen sich in ihrer Gesamtheit bei rund 5 \% der Bev{\"o}lkerung finden.

The first registration is in charge of the primary tumors that are only visible in the arterial phase. The secondary tumors will be incorporated in the second registration step.

The biosensor consisted of recombinant PNP-degrading/oxidizing bacteria Pseudomonas putida JS444 anchoring and displaying organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) on its cell surface as biological sensing element and a dissolved oxygen electrode as the transducer. Surfaceexpressed OPH catalyzed the hydrolysis of fenitrothion and EPN to release 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol, respectively, which were oxidized by the enzymatic machinery of Pseudomonas putida JS444 to carbon dioxide while consuming oxygen, which was measured and correlated to the concentration of organophosphates. Under the optimum operating conditions, the biosensor was able to measure as low as 277 ppb of fenitrothion and 1.6 ppm of EPN without interference from phenolic compounds and other commonly used pesticides such as carbamate pesticides, triazine herbicides and organophosphate pesticides without nitrophenyl substituent. The applicability of the biosensor to lake water was also demonstrated.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} } @article{LeimenaArtmannDachwaldetal.2010, author = {Leimena, W. and Artmann, Gerhard and Dachwald, Bernd and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Gossmann, Matthias and Digel, Ilya}, title = {Feasibility of an in-situ microbial decontamination of an ice-melting probe}, series = {Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal. 12 (2010), H. 2}, journal = {Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal. 12 (2010), H. 2}, isbn = {1562-3920}, pages = {145 -- 150}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{LeinhosSchusserBaeckeretal.2014, author = {Leinhos, Marcel and Schusser, Sebastian and B{\"a}cker, Matthias and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Micromachined multi-parameter sensor chip for the control of polymer-degradation medium}, series = {Physica Status Solidi (A) : special issue on engineering and functional interfaces}, volume = {211}, journal = {Physica Status Solidi (A) : special issue on engineering and functional interfaces}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-396X (E-Journal); 1862-6319 (E-Journal); 0031-8965 (Print); 1862-6300 (Print)}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.201330364}, pages = {1346 -- 1351}, year = {2014}, abstract = {It is well known that the degradation environment can strongly influence the biodegradability and kinetics of biodegradation processes of polymers. Therefore, besides the monitoring of the degradation process, it is also necessary to control the medium in which the degradation takes place. In this work, a micromachined multi-parameter sensor chip for the control of the polymer-degradation medium has been developed. The chip combines a capacitive field-effect pH sensor, a four-electrode electrolyte-conductivity sensor and a thin-film Pt-temperature sensor. The results of characterization of individual sensors are presented. In addition, the multi-parameter sensor chip together with an impedimetric polymer-degradation sensor was simultaneously characterized in degradation solutions with different pH and electrolyte conductivity. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of the multi-parameter sensor chip for the control of the polymer-degradation medium.}, language = {en} } @article{LenzKahmannBehbahanietal.2022, author = {Lenz, Maximilian and Kahmann, Stephanie Lucina and Behbahani, Mehdi and Pennig, Lenhard and Hackl, Michael and Leschinger, Tim and M{\"u}ller, Lars Peter and Wegmann, Kilian}, title = {Influence of rotator cuff preload on fracture configuration in proximal humerus fractures: a proof of concept for fracture simulation}, series = {Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery}, journal = {Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, issn = {1434-3916}, doi = {10.1007/s00402-022-04471-9}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Introduction In regard of surgical training, the reproducible simulation of life-like proximal humerus fractures in human cadaveric specimens is desirable. The aim of the present study was to develop a technique that allows simulation of realistic proximal humerus fractures and to analyse the influence of rotator cuff preload on the generated lesions in regards of fracture configuration. Materials and methods Ten cadaveric specimens (6 left, 4 right) were fractured using a custom-made drop-test bench, in two groups. Five specimens were fractured without rotator cuff preload, while the other five were fractured with the tendons of the rotator cuff preloaded with 2 kg each. The humeral shaft and the shortened scapula were potted. The humerus was positioned at 90° of abduction and 10° of internal rotation to simulate a fall on the elevated arm. In two specimens of each group, the emergence of the fractures was documented with high-speed video imaging. Pre-fracture radiographs were taken to evaluate the deltoid-tuberosity index as a measure of bone density. Post-fracture X-rays and CT scans were performed to define the exact fracture configurations. Neer's classification was used to analyse the fractures. Results In all ten cadaveric specimens life-like proximal humerus fractures were achieved. Two III-part and three IV-part fractures resulted in each group. The preloading of the rotator cuff muscles had no further influence on the fracture configuration. High-speed videos of the fracture simulation revealed identical fracture mechanisms for both groups. We observed a two-step fracture mechanism, with initial impaction of the head segment against the glenoid followed by fracturing of the head and the tuberosities and then with further impaction of the shaft against the acromion, which lead to separation of the tuberosities. Conclusion A high energetic axial impulse can reliably induce realistic proximal humerus fractures in cadaveric specimens. The preload of the rotator cuff muscles had no influence on initial fracture configuration. Therefore, fracture simulation in the proximal humerus is less elaborate. Using the presented technique, pre-fractured specimens are available for real-life surgical education.}, language = {en} } @article{LeschingerBeschAydinetal.2019, author = {Leschinger, Tim and Besch, Katharina and Aydin, Cansu and Staat, Manfred and Scaal, Martin and M{\"u}ller, Lars Peter and Wegmann, Kilian}, title = {Irreparable rotator cuff tears: a biomechanical comparison of superior capsuloligamentous complex reconstruction techniques and an interposition graft technique}, series = {The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine}, volume = {7}, journal = {The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine}, number = {8}, doi = {10.1177/2325967119864590}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{LeschingerBirgelHackletal.2019, author = {Leschinger, Tim and Birgel, Stefan and Hackl, Michael and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Lars Peter and Wegmann, Kilian}, title = {A musculoskeletal shoulder simulation of moment arms and joint reaction forces after medialization of the supraspinatus footprint in rotator cuff repair}, series = {Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering}, journal = {Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering}, number = {Early view}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, doi = {10.1080/10255842.2019.1572749}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{LeversStaatLaack2011, author = {Levers, A. and Staat, Manfred and Laack, Walter van}, title = {Analyse der Langzeitwirkung der MBST® KernspinResonanzTherapie bei Gonarthrose}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Originalausgabe: Orthop{\"a}dische Praxis Jg. 47. 2011 H. 11; S. 536-543.

Data collection from current space missions from pre-, during-, and post-flight periods would provide important information to understand and ultimately offset musculoskeletal alterations during long-term spaceflight. In addition, understanding the kinetics of the different components of the musculoskeletal system in parallel with a detailed description of the molecular mechanisms driving these alterations appears to be the best approach to address potential musculoskeletal problems that future exploratory-mission crew will face.

The PBLM results in an at least qualitative description and understanding of the physical phenomena: This model gives an explanation for the steep increase of the dielectric constant below the percolation threshold and why this increase is connected to a dramatic decrease of the breakdown voltage as well as the ability of storing electrical energy. We conclude that metallic electrolyte composites like BaTiO₃ are not appropriate for energy storage.}, language = {en} }
