In the current study, toxic effects of sub-chronic Al exposure have been evaluated in outbreed male rats (gastrointestinal administration). Forty animals were used: 10 were administered with AlCl3 water solution (2 mg/kg Al per day) for 1 month, 10 received the same concentration of AlCl3 for 3 month, and 20 (10 per observation period) saline as control. After 30 and 90 days, the animals underwent behavioral tests: open field, passive avoidance, extrapolation escape task, and grip strength. At the end of the study, the blood, liver, kidney, and brain were excised for analytical and morphological studies. The Al content was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry. Essential trace elements-Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Se, and Zn-were measured in whole blood samples. Although no morphological changes were observed in the brain, liver, or kidney for both exposure terms, dose-dependent Al accumulation and behavioral differences (increased locomotor activity after 30 days) between treatment and control groups were indicated. Moreover, for 30 days exposure, strong positive correlation between Al content in the brain and blood for individual animals was established, which surprisingly disappeared by the third month. This may indicate neural barrier adaptation to the Al exposure or the saturation of Al transport into the brain. Notably, we could not see a clear neurodegeneration process after rather prolonged sub-chronic Al exposure, so probably longer exposure periods are required.}, language = {en} } @article{NienaberHeinzRappetal.2018, author = {Nienaber, Andr{\´e} and Heinz, Andreas and Rapp, Michael Armin and Bermpohl, F. and Schulz, M. and Behrens, J. and L{\"o}hr, M.}, title = {Einfluss der Personalbesetzung auf Konflikte auf psychiatrischen Stationen}, series = {Der Nervenarzt : Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie und Nervenheilkunde ; Mitteilungsblatt der Deutschen Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Neurologie}, volume = {89}, journal = {Der Nervenarzt : Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie und Nervenheilkunde ; Mitteilungsblatt der Deutschen Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Neurologie}, number = {7}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0028-2804}, doi = {10.1007/s00115-018-0521-5}, pages = {821 -- 827}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Psychiatrische Stationen sind ein wichtiges Element in der psychiatrischen Versorgung von Menschen mit akuter Eigen- oder Fremdgef{\"a}hrdung.

Als entscheidender Faktor f{\"u}r den sachgem{\"a}ßen Umgang mit diesen Situationen wird sowohl die Quantit{\"a}t als auch die Qualit{\"a}t der Mitarbeitenden angesehen. Vor diesem Hintergrund besch{\"a}ftigt sich die vorliegende Untersuchung mit der Versorgungssituation auf akutpsychiatrischen Stationen. Die Hypothese lautet, dass sowohl die Gr{\"o}ße der akutpsychiatrischen Station als auch die Anzahl der Pflegenden einen Einfluss auf das Vorkommen konflikthafter Situationen haben. Hierf{\"u}r sind Daten in 6 Kliniken auf insgesamt 12 psychiatrischen Stationen erfasst worden. Als Erfassungsinstrument diente die Patient Staff Conflict Checklist - Shift Report (PCC-SR). Insgesamt konnten 2026 Schichten (Fr{\"u}h‑, Sp{\"a}t- und Nachtschicht) erfasst und ausgewertet werden. Die personelle Besetzung der Stationen mit Pflegepersonal variierte erheblich. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sowohl die Stationsgr{\"o}ße als auch die Anzahl der Pflegepersonen auf akutpsychiatrischen Stationen einen signifikanten Einfluss auf das Vorkommen von Konflikten haben. In den Ergebnissen zeigt sich weiterhin, dass sich die Inzidenz des konflikthaften Verhaltens von Patienten sowohl im Hinblick auf die untersuchten Stationen der beteiligten Krankenh{\"a}user als auch im Hinblick auf die betrachteten Dienstzeittypen unterscheiden. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus zeigt sich, dass das Ausmaß der Schließung einer Akutstation und die Gr{\"o}ße einer Station einen negativen Einfluss auf die Inzidenz von Konflikten im station{\"a}r akutpsychiatrischen Kontext haben.

Furthermore, predictive and associated factors for tendinopathy development were analyzed. The prospective study consisted of two measurement days (M1/M2) with an interval of 3.2 +/- 0.9 years. 157 athletes (12.1 +/- 0.7 years) and 25 controls (13.3 +/- 0.6 years) without Achilles/patellar tendinopathy were included at Ml. Clinical and ultrasound examinations of both Achilles (AT) and patellar tendons (PT) were performed. Main outcome measures were incidence tendinopathy and structural intratendinous alterations (hypo-/hyperechogenicity, vascularization) at M2 [\%]. Incidence of Achilles tendinopathy was 1\% in athletes and 0\% in controls. Patellar tendinopathy was more frequent in athletes (13 \%)than in controls (4\%). Incidence of intratendinous alterations in ATs was 1-2\% in athletes and 0 \% in controls, whereas in PTs it was 4-6 \% in both groups (p >0.05). Intratendinous alterations at M2 were associated with patellar tendinopathy in athletes (p <= 0.01). Intratendinous alterations at M1, anthropometric data, training amount, sports or sex did not predict tendinopathy development (p>0.05). Incidence often dinopathy and intratendinous alterations in adolescent athletes is low in ATs and more common in PTs. Development of intratendinous alterations in PT is associated with tend in opathy.

Using the small protein TorE of the respiratory TMAO reductase system as a model, we discovered that TorE is part of a subfamily of small proteins that are present in proteobacteria in which they play a similar role for bacterial respiratory systems. We reveal by microscopy that, in Shewanella oneidensis MR1, alternative respiratory systems are evenly distributed in the membrane contrary to what has been described for Escherichia coli. Thus, the better efficiency of the respiratory systems observed in the presence of the small proteins is not due to a specific localization in the membrane, but rather to the formation of membranous complexes formed by TorE homologs with their c-type cytochrome partner protein. By an in vivo approach combining Clear Native electrophoresis and fluorescent translational fusions, we determined the 4: 4 stoichiometry of the complexes. In addition, mild solubilization of the cytochrome indicates that the presence of the small protein reinforces its anchoring to the membrane. Therefore, assembly of the complex induced by this small protein improves the efficiency of the respiratory system.}, language = {en} } @article{HeisselPietrekFlungeretal.2018, author = {Heissel, Andreas and Pietrek, Anou F. and Flunger, Barbara and Fydrich, Thomas and Rapp, Michael Armin and Heinzel, Stephan and Vansteenkiste, Maarten}, title = {The Validation of the German Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale in the Context of Mental Health}, series = {European Journal of Health Psychology}, volume = {25}, journal = {European Journal of Health Psychology}, number = {4}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {2512-8442}, doi = {10.1027/2512-8442/a000017}, pages = {119 -- 132}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The primary aim of the current study was to examine the unique contribution of psychological need frustration and need satisfaction in the prediction of adults' mental well-being and ill-being in a heterogeneous sample of adults (N = 334; Mage = 43.33, SD = 32.26; 53\% females). Prior to this, validity evidence was provided for the German version of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT). The results of the validation analyses found the German BPNSFS to be a valid and reliable measurement. Further, structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that both need satisfaction and frustration yielded unique and opposing associations with well-being. Specifically, the dimension of psychological need frustration predicted adults' ill-being. Future research should examine whether frustration of psychological needs is involved in the onset and maintenance of psychopathology (e.g., major depressive disorder).}, language = {en} }
