A method for determining contractility independent of load Ees of a ventricle of a person is provided. The chronological profile of blood pressure during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) is first determined for a at least one ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat.

The profile of blood volume over time is determined during isovolumetric contraction (IVK) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR) for a ventricle over at least one period of a person's heartbeat, to determine the end-systolic volume Ves. The intercept VO is then determined from this end-systolic volume Ves, and contractility independent of load Ees of an examined ventricle of a person is calculated as a slope from the end-systolic pressure Pes, the end-systolic volume Ves, and the intercept V0.

OPTIMIZATION OF NEBULIZATION PROPERTIES OF A SOLUTION OR COLLOID
Inhalation is one of the most important methods of administration of active ingredients, for example in the treatment of respiratory disorders or in anaesthesia. A disadvantage of the current prior art is that not all solutions or suspensions can be nebulized with a standard nebulizer so as to result in a particle size distribution suitable for inhalation treatment in the aerosol produced. The invention therefore relates to a method for nebulizing a solution or colloid to form aerosol particles, wherein the solution or colloid contains at least one additive, the additive being a low molecular weight compound or a polyether or a polysorbate or a modified PVA, and aerosol-physical parameters of the particles formed by nebulization of the solution or colloid are adjusted via the concentration of the additive in the solution or of the colloid. The invention further relates to an aerosol obtainable by this method for pulmonary administration in a patient for diagnosis or treatment of a disorder.

The invention relates to functionalised diols of diamondoids wherein one of the two hydroxy groups is masked by a protective group, and to methods for producing said functionalised diols. The protective group is a -CHR1R2 group, wherein R1 and R2 are alkyl groups. The protective group contains at least one halogen atom. The monoethers of the diamondoid diols are produced by reacting the diamondoid diol with a halogenated alcohol CHOHR1R2 in the presence of a catalyst acid. The monoetherified diols enable the targeted production of derivatives of the diamondoids, for example the corresponding amino alcohols and aminocarboxylic acids. To this end, the diamondoid monoether is reacted with a halogenonitrile in a Ritter reaction, in a first step, to form the corresponding monoether amide. The corresponding amino alcohol is produced from said monoether amide by reacting the protective group -CHR1R2 first with trifluoroacetic acid to form the alkanoyloxy group, and then obtaining the amino alcohol by reaction with thiourea, ethanol and glacial acetic acid. The amino alcohol can be reacted with sulphuric acid / formic acid or fuming sulphuric acid / formic acid to form the corresponding amino carboxylic acid. The amino, hydroxy, and carboxyl groups of the diamondoids can be converted into a plurality of other functional groups.

Abrégé
The invention relates to a method for producing a conductor/non-conductor transition on a substrate (1), the substrate (1) comprising a non-conductive metal oxide layer (2), wherein the non-conductive metal oxide layer (2) is made of metastable amorphous non-stoichiometric metal oxide (2) and is locally heated, wherein the locally heated region crystallizes into a stable non-conductive stoichiometric metal oxide (4), around which the metal concentration in the amorphous non-stoichiometric metal oxide increases, in particular forms a conductive region (5). The invention further relates to a storage medium for storing digital information, comprising a particularly round rotatable substrate (1) and a layer (2) disposed thereon for receiving digital information, wherein the layer (2) is configured by a non-conductive amorphous non-stoichiometric metal oxide, which can be transferred by means of local heating, particularly using a focused laser beam (3a, 3b) or an electron beam or a current pulse, at the location of the local heating into a region (4) made of crystallized, non-conductive stoichiometric metal oxide, which is surrounded by an increased metal concentration, particularly amorphous conductive non-stoichiometric metal oxide (5). The invention also relates to a method for producing an amorphous non-conductive non-stoichiometric metal oxide layer on a substrate (1), wherein the non-stoichiometric metal oxide layer (2) is removed from a target of the same metal oxide present in a stoichiometric form, and deposited onto the substrate.
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical, or to a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical, for the treatment of fibrosing pulmonary diseases, in particular idiopathic pulmonal fibrosis (IPF) and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP).

The present invention relates to Cu-(ll)-oxygen adduct complexes, which are stable at room temperature, and to methods for the production thereof. These are compounds of the general formula [L-Cu-O-O-Cu-L](BAr4)2. To this end, BAr4 is a tetraarylborate anion, selected from tetraphenylborate and tetrakis(3,5-trifluoromethyl)phenylborate. L is a tripodal tetradentate ligand, wherein each of the four binding sites can be a nitrogen atom. Each of the three podal ligands, independently from each other, may comprise an aliphatic amine or a nitrogen-containing heteroaromat. Between the central nitrogen atom and the nitrogen atom of each of the podal ligands, a bridge comprising one to four carbon atoms is present. The Cu(ll)-oxygen adduct complexes according to the invention are produced in that first the ligand L is reacted into [Cu-L]X using a Cu-(I) salt. Then, the anion X of the Cu-(l) complex [Cu-L]X is replaced with tetraarylborate, and the compound [Cu-L]BAr4 that is obtained is finally subjected to an oxygen-containing atmosphere. In this process, [L-Cu-O-O-Cu- L](BAr4)2 forms. The Cu-(ll)-oxygen adduct complexes according to the invention can be used as oxidation catalysts, for example for the oxidation of benzene into phenol or methane, for the oxidation of hydrogen, aromatic and aliphatic, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and also alcohols and amines. Furthermore, the verification of the Cu-(ll)-oxygen adduct complexes according to the invention can be used for the detection of oxygen.

PROTEIN PA (SLC10A4) AS A MARKER FOR CHOLINERGIC NEURONS OF THE CNS
The present invention describes a method for the verification of cholinergic neurons in tissue samples from a human or animal organism by detection of the SLC10A4 protein. SLC10A4 occurs exclusively in cholinergic neurons. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, oligopeptides of the C-terminus of SLC10A4 are used to form polyclonal antibodies. For this purpose, the 422-437 amino acids of the SLC10A4 protein are coupled to the carboxy-terminal glutamic acid group on KLH. The protein that has been KLH-coupled in this manner is subsequently injected into a vertebrate, which subsequently forms polyclonal antibodies against SLC10A4. Polyclonal antibodies against SLC10A4 obtained in this manner are used according to the invention for detecting SLC10A4 in cholinergic neurons, for example, with the aid of the sandwich method in which, after incubation with the antibody according to the invention, an arbitrary second antibody is added by means of which the P4 protein is made optically visible. The visualization of SLC10A4 may occur, for example, by means of immunofluorescence or peroxidase staining.
