Diese Studie untersuchte die Biokompatibilität von Zink als mögliches Material für bioresorbierbare Stents im Vergleich zu Referenzstents aus 316L medizinischem Edelstahl. 94 Zinkstents (2 Stents ohne Legierung, 3 Stents mit Titan- und/oder Goldlegierung) bei ansonsten gleicher Architektur wurden in die Iliakalgefäße von 47 weißen Neuseeland-Kaninchen implantiert und mit 316L Edelstahlstents gleicher Architektur als Referenz verglichen. Die Stents wurden nach 10 und 26 Wochen entnommen und histologisch auf Lumenveränderung (Planimetrie), Intimaproliferation (Intimabreite), Gefäßwandverletzung (Gunn Score) und -entzündung (Inflammation Score) untersucht. Der Vergleich der einzelnen gemessenen Parameter gibt Aufschluss über proliferative, entzündliche und mechanische Vorgänge beim biologischen Abbau der Stents sowie über Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Legierungen. Beim Vergleich der Teststents untereinander zeigte sich eine stärkere Intimabildung bei den Zinkstents mit Titanlegierung außerhalb des gestenteten Bereichs. Keiner der untersuchten Zinkstents zeigte Vorteile gegenüber dem 316L Edelstahlstent bezüglich der Gewebeveränderung über einen Zeitraum von 26 Wochen nach Implantation. Somit ist der Einsatz der Zinkstents aus dieser Studie in der gegenwärtigen Form im Menschen nicht angezeigt.
The photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) of the O 1s-photoelectrons of trifluoromethyloxirane(TFMOx) is studied experimentally and theoretically for different photoelectron kinetic energies. The experiments were performed employing circularly polarized synchrotron radiation and coincidentelectron and fragment ion detection using Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy. The corresponding calculations were performed by means of the Single Center method within the relaxed-core Hartree-Fock approximation. We concentrate on the energy dependence of the differential PECD of uniaxially oriented TFMOx molecules, which is accessible through the employed coincident detection. We also compare results for differential PECD of TFMOx to those obtained for the equivalent fragmentation channel and similar photoelectron kinetic energy of methyloxirane (MOx), studied in our previous work. Thereby, we investigate the influence of the substitution of the methyl-group by the trifluoromethyl-group at the chiral center on the molecular chiral response. Finally, the presently obtained angular distribution parameters are compared to those available in literature.

The differential photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) of O 1𝑠 photoelectrons of 𝑅-trifluoromethyloxirane enantiomers as a function of the photoelectron emission direction in the molecular frame of reference and the direction from which circularly polarized light hits the molecule, is studied experimentally and theoretically for different photoelectron kinetic energies. A coincident detection of the photoelectrons and two ionic molecular fragments, performed with cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy, allows us to determine the orientation of the molecule in the laboratory frame and to obtain in addition the molecular-frame photoelectron diffraction patterns. From these we deduce the differential PECD. For given molecular orientations and photoelectron emission directions, we observe a normalized PECD strength clearly beyond 50%. These observations are in agreement with respective relaxed-core Hartree-Fock calculations, performed by employing the single center method. The present results support our recent observation of a huge differential PECD in O 1𝑠 photoemission of the methyloxirane molecule.
The ultrafast structural dynamics of water following inner-shell ionization is a crucial issue in high-energy radiation chemistry. We have exposed isolated water molecules to a short x-ray pulse from a free-electron laser and detected momenta of all produced ions in coincidence. By combining experimental results and theoretical modeling, we can image dissociation dynamics of individual molecules in unprecedented detail. We reveal significant molecular structural dynamics in H2O2+, such as asymmetric deformation and bond-angle opening, leading to two-body or three-body fragmentation on a timescale of a few femtoseconds. We thus reconstruct several snapshots of structural dynamics at different time intervals, which highlight dynamical patterns that are relevant as initiating steps of subsequent radiation-damage processes.
