- To evaluate the exocrine pancreatic function at the time of diagnosis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, we determined immunoreactive an-odal and cathodal trypsin(ogen) levels in sera from almost all children (n = 375) 0-14 years of age in Sweden in whom diabetes developed during 1 year, and in sex-, age-, and geographically matched control subjects (n = 312). The median level of anodal trypsin(ogen) was 5 (quartile range, 3-7) µg/L in children with newly diagnosed diabetes, compared with a median level of 7 (quartile range, 4-8) µg/L in control subjects (p < 0.0001). Similarly, the median level of cathodal trypsin(ogen) was 8 (quartile range, 4-10) µg/L in children with diabetes, compared with a median level of 11 (quartile range, 7-15) µg/L in control subjects (p < 0.0001). The median of the individual ratios between cathodal and anodal trypsin(ogen) was 1.4 in the diabetic patients and 1.7 in the control children (p < 0.001). In a multivariate test, however, only the decrease in cathodal trypsin(ogen) concentration was associated with diabetes. The levels of trypsin(ogen)s did not correlate with levels of islet cell antibodies, present in 81% of the diabetic children. Several mechanisms may explain our findings, for example, similar pathogenetic factors may affect both the endocrine and exocrine pancreas simultaneously, a failing local trophic stimulation by insulin on the exocrine cells may decrease the trypsinogen production, and there may be an increased elimination of trypsin(ogen) because of higher filtration through the kidneys in the hyperglycemic state.

- A 1-m normal-incidence monochromator has been designed and installed on a bending-magnet beam line at the MAX storage ring in Lund. The optical properties of the beam line have been investigated via ray-tracing studies and with flux measurements of the beam line-monochromator combination. A resolution of 0.9 Å at 919.8 Å was measured in first-order diffraction with an argon hollow-cathode lamp for slit openings of 100 μm. A photon flux of 2.0 × 1010 at 550 Å with 250 μm slits was measured with a calibrated GaAs photodiode through a 1.5-mm diameter aperture in an aluminum mask on the photodiode. The new instrument has a microcomputer controlled mechanism which optimizes focussing requirements for a scanning monochromator with the requirement of fixed slits and fixed exit beam.

Verification of single beam treatment planning using a ferrous dosimeter gel and MRI (FeMRI)
- 1998

Ingår i: Acta Oncologica. - 0284-186X. ; 37:6, s. 6-561

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A method for analysing and comparing treatment planning system (TPS) data and ferrous dosimeter gel measurements evaluated with MRI (FeMRI) was developed, including image processing to final absorbed dose images. Measurements were analysed according to this method and FeMRI data were thereby compared with the TPS-calculated dose distribution. For photons, differences between FeMRI- and TPS dose data were mainly within +/- 2%. Minor shortcomings found in both the FeMRI system and the TPS are explained and discussed. For electron beams, there was an overall good agreement. It was found that the TPS underestimates the lateral scattering dose outside the primary beam, but the reported dose difference corresponds to a small spatial deviation (less than 2 mm). It is important to consider this single beam data comparison when the method is extended to more complicated situations, for example when using several beams.
