    Abstract It has been extensively studied in several mouse models how chronic, in particular chronic psychosocial, stressors facilitate the (re)activity of the innate immune system and, consequently, drive stress-associated pathologies. Here we first summarize the resulting concept and underlying mechanisms, proposing that social stress-induced bone marrow myelopoiesis, priming, emigration and activation of newly formed myeloid cells and accumulation of these cells in the spleen, gut, brain and fracture hematoma promote septic shock, colitis, anxiety and disturbed fracture healing, respectively. We further propose and discuss the hypothesis that it is not the social character of a particular stressor that promotes splenic invasion and subsequent full activation of stress-induced myeloid cells, but rather the occurrence of bite wounds as a result of direct physical interaction. Finally, we discuss the hypothesis that it is the combination of chronic stress, regardless of whether social or non-social in nature, and any kind of planned (i.e. surgery) or unplanned (i.e. bite wounds, injury) physical trauma that drives splenic invasion and subsequent full activation of stress-induced myeloid cells.

    Abstract There is convincing evidence from different mouse models that chronic psychosocial stress promotes splenomegaly, basal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced in vitro splenocyte activation and insensitivity towards glucocorticoids (GC) in in vitro LPS-treated splenocytes. However, we just recently showed, employing the chronic subordinate colony housing (CSC) paradigm, that bite wounds received during stressor exposure drive these stress-induced spleen changes. As skin wounds induced by planned surgery or physical trauma are more adequately reflecting what chronically stressed humans are likely to experience, it was the objective of the present study to investigate whether abdominal surgery prior to stressor exposure also promotes respective stress-induced spleen effects in the absence of any bite wounds. In line with our hypothesis, abdominal surgery prior to CSC induced splenomegaly, increased in vitro cell viability under basal and LPS conditions as well as the delta response to LPS (LPS - basal), and promoted the inability of isolated splenocytes to respond with a decreased cell viability to increasing concentrations of corticosterone following LPS-stimulation in vitro. Together with previous data, these findings demonstrate that physical injury, either in form of received bite wounds during stressor exposure or in form of abdominal surgery prior to stressor exposure, promotes the development of splenic immune activation and GC resistance.

    Abstract A novel and versatile method for the N-arylation of dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole (DTP) is presented. By Pd- or Cu-catalyzed coupling a variety of arenes and acenes were directly attached at the DTP-nitrogen yielding a variety of functionalized DTPs. Investigations on optical and redox properties led to valuable structure-property relationships, which were corroborated by quantum chemical calculations. Further functionalization and elongation of the conjugation of an acceptor-substituted DTP was elaborated to result in complex cruciform-type donor-acceptor oligomers, which were investigated and implemented in single material organic solar cells.

    Abstract While animal housing conditions are highly controlled and standardized between different laboratories, there are still many subtle differences that unavoidably influence the host organisms and, consequently, interlaboratory reproducibility. Here, we investigated the physiological and immunological consequences between two light/dark cycle (LDC) lengths (14-h/10-h vs. 12-h/12-h LDC) and two commonly used forms of drinking water (acidified drinking water (AW) versus normal tap water (NW)) in single-housed (SH) mice. Our results indicate that SH mice bred under a 12-h/12-h LDC and NW at the supplier's facility showed increased basal morning plasma corticosterone (CORT) levels even 4 weeks after arrival at our animal facility employing a 14-h/10-h LDC and AW. This effect was even more pronounced two weeks after arrival and had abated after 8 weeks. In agreement, increased plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), adrenal in vitro ACTH sensitivity, as well as relative and absolute adrenal weight normalized during this 8-week exposure to the novel and unfamiliar 14-h/10-h LDC and AW. Employment of a 12-h/12-h LDC in our facility completely abrogated the CORT-elevating effects of the 14-h/10-h LDC, despite these animals drinking AW. When both the water and light conditions were matched to those at the supplier's facility, we observed a further reduction in adrenal weight, increased thymus weight, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion of isolated and anti-CD3/28-stimulated mesenteric lymph node cells. In summary, our results indicate that prolonged alteration of both the light phase and drinking water represent severe and long-lasting stressors for laboratory rodents. These findings are of general interest for all scientists obtaining their experimental animals from conventional suppliers.

    Abstract *Beide Autoren haben den gleichen Anteil an der Arbeit.
    Einleitung: Das Magenkarzinom ist weltweit der Krebs mit der zweihöchsten Sterblichkeitsrate unter den im Verdauungstrakt vorkommenden Krebserkrankungen. Gewebeveränderungen, so genannte Metaplasien und Polypen können Anzeichen von Magenkarzinomen sein. Bei der Diagnose und Klassifizierung des entarteten Gewebes durch die klassische gastrointestinale Endoskopie werden absorbierende und kontrastverstärkende Farbstoffe eingesetzt, um die oft sehr schwer zu sehenden Veränderungen in der Gewebestruktur besser sichtbar und abgrenzbar machen zu können. 2010 wurde die Magnetisch gesteuerte Kapselendoskopie vorgestellt. Bei diesem Verfahren schluckt ein Patient eine endoskopische Kapsel, die durch externe magnetische Felder in einem mit Wasser gefüllten Magen gesteuert wird. Im Vergleich zur konventionelle Endoskopie benötigt dieses nicht-invasive Verfahren keine Sedierung und weist einen höheren Patientenkomfort auf Zwei klinisches Studien zeigen einen gute Genauigkeit des Verfahrens im Vergleich zu konventionellen Gastroskopie. (Klinische Studie: Rey et al., 2010). Bekannte Schwierigkeiten bei der Diagnose von Metaplasien bei konventioneller Endoskopie finden sich aber auch in der magnetischen Kapselendoskopie.
    Ziel: Es soll die Machbarkeit eines Einfärbeverfahrens ähnlich der klassischen Chromoendoskopie bei einer MGCE-Untersuchung im Magenphantom gezeigt werden.
    Material und Methoden: Es wurden kommerziell verfügbare Endoskopkapseln und Schweinemägen mit Ösophagus genutzt. Die Krankheitsbilder wurden durch Verätzung mit Säure und durch Einnähen von Polypen simuliert. Um einen Färbeprozess realistisch zu simulieren wurden die Schweinemägen durch den Ösophagus mit 100ml Methylenblaulösung (Konzentration 1,00g/L) eingefärbt. Nach 5 Minuten Einwirkzeit wurde der Magen dreimal mit je 500 mL handwarmem Wasser gespült und anschließend mit 2 Litern Wasser gefüllt. Nach Zugabe der Endoskopiekapsel über den Ösophagus wurden Bilder von allen anatomischen Abschnitten aufgenommen. Die Kapsel wurde durch einem Plastikschlauch im Magen bewegt um die magnetische Steuerbarkeit zu simulieren. Zur besseren Sichtbarkeit der Schleimhautstrukturen wurden die Kapselbilder nachbearbeitet, um den Kontrast weiter zu verbessern.
    Ergebnis: Ähnlich der konventionellen Chromoendoskopie, wird bei der neu eingeführten Methode die Sichtbarkeit der Schleimhautstrukturen gegenüber klassischen Kapselbildern verbessert. Sie erscheint detailreicher. Wir konnten feststellen, dass sich das Wasser nicht färbt und somit auch die Sicht nicht getrübt oder eingefärbt ist. Die relevanten Stellen der gefärbten Mukosa, werden unter verschiedenen Kapselpositionen und dadurch resultierenden Lichtbedingungen aufgenommen und ausgewertet.
    Schlussfolgerung: Die Resultate zeigen, dass die angewandte Färbeprozedur bei Schweinemägen nutzbar ist und die Schleimhaut im Vergleich zur nicht gefärbten Mucosa detailreicher erscheint. Zusätzlich können Bildbearbeitungsalgorythmen die Bildqualität weiter verbessern. Doch auch wenn die Sichtbarkeit von Metaplasien und Dysplasien gesteigert wird, können andere Pathologien durch die Blaufärbung verdeckt werden. Dieser Sachverhalt ist für Untersuchungen mit Fokus auf die Feststellung von Schleimhautunregelmäßigkeiten akzeptabel.
