T1  - Diffuse stromale Hornhauttrübungen und Veränderungen der Hände
JF  - Der Ophthalmologe
N2  - Bilaterale stromale Hornhauttrübungen sind für den Augenarzt eine differenzialdiagnostische Herausforderung. Im folgenden Beitrag werden 2 Patieninnen (30 und 36 Jahre) mit unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägter stromaler diffuser Hornhauttrübung vorgestellt. Patientin 1 war kleinwüchsig (114 cm) und Patientin 2 normal groß (172 cm). Beide Patientinnen wiesen veränderte Gelenkstrukturen an Hand und Fußgelenken sowie diffuse stromale Hornhauttrübungen auf. Des Weiteren lagen eine Mitral- und Aorteninsuffizienz (Patientin 1) bzw. eine Aorteninsuffizienz (Patientin 2) vor. Die stromalen diffusen Hornhauttrübungen ließen im Zusammenhang mit den Gelenkveränderungen ein Scheie-Syndrom vermuten. Therapeutisch ist bei Patienten mit Visusminderung eine (lamelläre) Keratoplastik sinnvoll.

T1  - Feasibility of an in-situ microbial decontamination of an ice-melting probe
JF  - Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal
N2  - Autonomous robotic systems for penetrating thick ice shells with simultaneous collecting of scientific data are very promising devices in both terrestrial (glacier, climate research) and extra-terrestrial applications. Technical challenges in development of such systems are numerous and include 3D-navigation, an appropriate energy source, motion control, etc. Not less important is the problem of forward contamination of the pristine glacial environments with microorganisms and biomolecules from the surface of the probe. This study was devoted to establishing a laboratory model for microbial contamination of a newly constructed ice-melting probe called IceMole and to analyse the viability and amount of the contaminating microorganisms as a function of distance. The used bacterial strains were Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6051) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 11775). The main objective was development of an efficient and reliable in-situ decontamination method of the melting probe. Therefore, several chemical substances were tested in respect of their efficacy to eliminate bacteria on the surface of the melting probe at low temperature (0 - 5 °C) and at continuous dilution by melted water. Our study has shown that at least 99.9% decontamination of the IceMole can be successfully achieved by the injection of 30% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide and 3% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite into the drilling site. We were able to reproduce this result in both time-dependent and depth-dependent experiments. The sufficient amount of 30% (v/v) H₂O₂ or 3% (v/v) NaClO has been found to be approximately 18 L per cm² of the probe’s surface.

T1  - Miniaturized chemical imaging sensor system using an OLED display panel
JF  - Procedia Engineering
N2  - The chemical imaging sensor is a semiconductor-based chemical sensor that can visualize the two-dimensional distribution of specific ions or molecules in the solution. In this study, we developed a miniaturized chemical imaging sensor system with an OLED display panel as a light source that scans the sensor plate. In the proposed configuration, the display panel is placed directly below the sensor plate and illuminates the back surface. The measured area defined by illumination can be arbitrarily customized to fit the size and the shape of the sample to be measured. The waveform of the generated photocurrent, the currentvoltage characteristics and the pH sensitivity were investigated and pH imaging with this miniaturized system was demonstrated.

JF  - Tagungsband: Sensoren und Messsysteme 2010
N2  - Es wurde ein automatisiertes, computerunterstütztes Testsystem für die Funktionsprüfung und Charakterisierung von (bio-)chemischen Sensoren auf Waferebene entwickelt und in einen konventionellen Spitzenmessplatz integriert. Das System ermöglicht die Charakterisierung und Identifizierung „funktionstauglicher“ Sensoren bereits auf Waferebene zwischen den einzelnen Herstellungsschritten, wodurch weitere, bisher übliche Verarbeitungsschritte wie das Fixieren, Bonden und Verkapseln für die defekten oder nicht funktionstauglichen Sensorstrukturen entfällt. Außerdem bietet eine speziell entworfene miniaturisierte Durchflussmesszelle die Möglichkeit, bereits auf Waferlevel die Sensitivität, Drift, Hysterese und Ansprechzeit der (bio-)chemischen Sensoren zu charakterisieren. Das System wurde exemplarisch mit kapazitiven, pH-sensitiven EIS- (Elektrolyt-Isolator-Silizium) Strukturen und ISFET- (ionensensitiver Feldeffekttransistor) Strukturen mit verschiedenen Geometrien und Gate-Layouts getestet.

T1  - Structural alterations of retinal arterioles in adults late after repair of aortic isthmic coarctation
JF  - The American Journal of Cardiology
N2  - Patients after coarctation repair still have an increased risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. This has been explained by the persisting hypertension and alterations in the peripheral vessels. However, involvement of the central vessels such as the retinal arteries is virtually unknown. A total of 34 patients after coarctation repair (22 men and 12 women; 23 to 58 years old, age range 0 to 32 years at surgical repair) and 34 nonhypertensive controls underwent structural and functional retinal vessel analysis. Using structural analysis, the vessel diameters were measured. Using functional analysis, the endothelium-dependent vessel dilation in response to flicker light stimulation was assessed. In the patients after coarctation repair, the retinal arteriolar diameter was significantly reduced compared to that of the controls (median 182 μm, first to third quartile 171 to 197; vs 197 μm, first to third quartile 193 to 206; p <0.001). These findings were independent of the peripheral blood pressure and age at intervention. No differences were found for venules. The functional analysis findings were not different between the patients and controls (maximum dilation 3.5%, first to third quartile 2.1% to 4.5% vs 3.6%, first to third quartile 2.2% to 4.3%; p = 0.81), indicating preserved autoregulative mechanisms. In conclusion, the retinal artery diameter is reduced in patients after coarctation repair, independent of their current blood pressure level and age at intervention. As a structural marker of chronic vessel damage associated with past, current, or future hypertension, retinal arteriolar narrowing has been linked to stroke incidence. These results indicate an involvement of cerebral microcirculation in aortic coarctation, despite timely repair, and might contribute to explain the increased rate of cerebrovascular events in such patients.

N2  - Self metathesis of oleochemicals offers a variety of bifunctional compounds, that can be used as monomer for polymer production. Many precursors are in huge scales available, like oleic acid ester (biodiesel), oleyl alcohol (tensides), oleyl amines (tensides, lubricants). We show several ways to produce and separate and purify C18-α,ω-bifunctional compounds, using Grubbs 2nd Generation catalysts, starting from technical grade educts.

T1  - Development of an electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) based capacitive heavy metal sensor for the detection of Pb2+ und Cd2+ ions
JF  - Physica status solidi (a) : applications and material science
N2  - Chalcogenide glass materials as membranes for potentiometric sensors for chemical analysis in solutions have been studied since more than 20 years. In this work, an electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor structure was combined with chalcogenide glass membranes prepared by means of the pulsed laser deposition technique. Depending on the membrane composition a selectivity to different ions (Cd2+ and Pb2+) is achieved. The different sensor membranes have been physically characterised using microscopy, ellipsometry, profilometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). The electrochemical behaviour has been investigated via capacitance/voltage (C/V) and constant capacitance (ConCap) measurements and results in a Cd2+ sensitivity of 23.1 ± 0.6 mV per decade in a linear range from 7 × 10−6 to 10−2 mol/l and 24.4 ± 0.5 mV per decade in a linear range from 5 × 10−6 to 10−2 mol/l for Pb2+, respectively.

T1  - Novel combination of digital light processing (DLP) and light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) for flexible chemical imaging
JF  - Procedia Engineering
N2  - Chemical imaging systems allow the visualisation of the distribution of chemical species on the sensor surface. This work represents a new flexible approach of read out in a light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) with the help of a digital light processing (DLP) set-up. The DLP, known well for video projectors, consists of a mirror-array MEMS device which allows fast and flexible generation of light patterns. With the help of these light patterns the sensor surface of the LAPS device can be read out sequentially in a raster like scheme (scanning LAPS). The DLP approach has several advantages compared to conventional scanning LAPS set-ups, e.g., the spot size, the shape and the intensity of the light pointer can be changed easily and no mechanical movement is necessary, which reduces the size of the set-up and increases the stability and speed of measurement.

N2  - The development of new interfaces for (bio-)chemical sensors requires comprehensive analyses and testing. The light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) can be used as a platform to investigate the sensitivity of a newly developed interface towards (bio-)chemical agents. LAPS measurements are spatially resolved by utilisation of focused light beams to define individual measurement spots. In this work, a new digitally modulated LAPS set-up based on an FPGA design will be introduced to increase the number of measurement spots, to shorten the measurement time and to improve the measurement accuracy.

T1  - Neue Ansteuerungselektronik für LAPS-basierte Biosensoren zur gleichzeitig ortsaufgelösten Messung der pH-Konzentration
JF  - Tagungsband: Sensoren und Messsysteme 2010
N2  - Ein lichtadressierbarer potentiometrischer Sensor (LAPS) kann die Konzentration eines oder mehrerer Analyten ortsaufgelöst auf der Sensoroberfläche nachweisen. Dazu wird mit einer modulierten Lichtquelle die Halbleiterstruktur des zu untersuchenden Bereiches angeregt und ein entsprechender Photostrom ausgelesen. Durch gleichzeitige Anregung mehrere Bereiche durch Lichtquellen mit unterschiedlichen Modulationsfrequenzen können diese auch zeitgleich ausgelesen werden. Mit der neuen, hier vorgestellten Ansteuerungselektronik integriert in einem "Field Programmable Gate Array" (FPGA) ist es möglich, mehrere Leuchtquellen gleichzeitig mit unterschiedlichen, während der Laufzeit festlegbaren Frequenzen, Phasen und Lichtintensitäten zu betreiben. Somit kann das Frequenzverhalten des Sensors untersucht und die Konzentration des Analyten über das Oberflächenpotential mit Hilfe von Strom/Spannungs-Kurven und Phase/Spannungs-Kurven bestimmt werden.

T1  - Adsorption of bacterial Lipopolysaccharides and blood plasma proteins on modified carbonized materials
N2  - Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (endotoxins) show strong biological effects at very low concentrations in human beings and many animals when entering the blood stream. These include affecting structure and function of organs and cells, changing metabolic functions, raising body temperature, triggering the coagulation cascade, modifying hemodynamics and causing septic shock. Because of this toxicity, the removal of even minute amounts is essential for safe parenteral administration of drugs and also for septic shock patients' care. The absence of a general method for endotoxin removal from liquid interfaces urgently requires finding new methods and materials to overcome this gap. Nanostructured carbonized plant parts is a promising material that showed good adsorption properties due to its vast pore network and high surface area. The aim of this study was comparative measurement of endotoxin- and blood proteins-related adsorption rate and adsorption capacity for different carboneous materials produced at different temperatures and under different surface modifications. As a main surface modificator, positively cbarged polymer, polyethileneimine (PEl) was used. Activated carbon materials showed good adsorption properties for LPS and some proteins used in the experiments. During the batch experiments, several techniques (dust removal, autoclaving) were used and optimized for improving the material's adsorption behavior. Also, with the results obtained it was possible to differentiate the materials according to their adsorption capacity and kinetic characteristics. Modification of the surface apparently has not affected hemoglobin binding to the adsorbent's surface. Obtained adsorption isotherms can be used as a powerful tool for designing of future column-based setups for blood purification from LPS, which is especially important for septic shock treatment.
