Abstract
Microplastics and its putative adverse effects on environmental and human health increasingly gain scientific and public attention. Systematic studies on the effects of microplastics are currently hampered by using rather poorly characterised particles, leading to contradictory results for the same particle type. Here, surface properties and chemical composition of two commercially available nominally identical polystyrene microparticles, frequently used in effect studies, were characterised. We show distinct differences in monomer content, ζ-potentials and surface charge densities. Cells exposed to particles showing a lower ζ-potential and a higher monomer content displayed a higher number of particle-cell-interactions and consequently a decrease in cell metabolism and proliferation, especially at higher particle concentrations. Our study emphasises that no general statements can be made about the effects of microplastics, not even for the same polymer type in the same size class, unless the physicochemical properties are well characterised.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures and -devices are rapidly transforming light manipulation technology by allowing to modify and enhance optical fields on sub-wavelength scales. Advances in this field rely heavily on the development of new characterization methods for the fundamental nanoscale interactions. However, the direct and quantitative mapping of transient electric and magnetic fields characterizing the plasmonic coupling has been proven elusive to date. Here we demonstrate how to directly measure the inelastic momentum transfer of surface plasmon modes via the energy-loss filtered deflection of a focused electron beam in a transmission electron microscope. By scanning the beam over the sample we obtain a spatially and spectrally resolved deflection map and we further show how this deflection is related quantitatively to the spectral component of the induced electric and magnetic fields pertaining to the mode. In some regards this technique is an extension to the established differential phase contrast into the dynamic regime.

Abstract
Biomimetic micro-patterned surfaces of three S-layer (fusion) proteins, wild type (SbpA), enhanced green fluorescence protein (SbpA-EGFP) and streptavidin (SbpA-STV), were built by microcontact printing of poly-L-lysine grafted polyethylene glycol (PLL-g-PEG). The functionality of the adsorbed proteins was studied with atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements showed that wild-type SbpA recrystallized on PLL-g-PEG free areas, while fluorescent properties of SbpA-EGFP and the interaction of SbpA-streptavidin heterotetramers with biotin were not affected due to the adsorption on the micro patterned substrates.

Abstract
We address the issue of the origin of the bending rigidity of a charged membrane formed from amphiphilic molecules. Electrostatic effects are investigated by direct measurement of the force necessary to deform a catanionic membrane as function of the ionic strength of the medium by means of an atomic force microscope (AFM). Using continuum mechanical modeling of membrane deformation, we derive the bending rigidity of the catanionic membranes and monitor for the first time its decrease in response to increasing salt concentration.

Abstract
This article reviews the progress in the field of polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes with special attention to freestanding membranes. These can be prepared both in the form of hollow capsules and as flat membrane sheets. While (bio) functionality, or bioactivity as it is known, from solid supported multilayers is maintained, additional applications arise for the freestanding membranes in the fields of encapsulation, separation and micromechanics. The production processes and functionalities achieved for capsules and flat sheets. The integration of membranes into larger scale structures is essential for their use and an overview of existing strategies is given. In particular, the way in which arrays of micro-compartments can be built up is shown, and their potential for sensing and combinatorial chemistry discussed. Recent results on the applications of such systems as membrane sensors in the case of flat membrane sheets are also discussed.

Abstract
Mechanical properties of lipidic membranes such as their bending rigidity are governing liposome morphology and play an important role in processes like membrane fusion and adhesion. Force versus deformation measurements are the most direct means to determine this, but so far experimental data is scarce and mainly stems from techniques that are limited to giant vesicles. We present atomic force microscope force spectroscopy as a method allowing force-deformation measurements of submicron vesicles. Bending rigidities of small unilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes (R<200 nm) can be derived from the force-deformation data using analytical models based on shell theory and are in good agreement with independent measurements.

Abstract
Adhesion of PAH/PSS and PDADMAC/PSS capsules through electrostatic and specific interactions has been investigated using reflective interference contrast microscopy (RICM). Adhesion of capsules via electrostatic interactions was found to be spontaneous and strong. Capsules functionalized with poly(l-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) did not exhibit significant adhesion (as determined by the adhesion area) to streptavidin-coated substrates, whereas capsules functionalized with biotinylated PLL-g-PEG showed a significantly larger adhesion area. Using continuum mechanical models, the total adhesion energies for these cases were calculated and were found to correspond to several tens of individual biotin-streptavidin pairs. The application of specific interactions such as the biotin-streptavidin system for controlled capsule adhesion has been demonstrated in this study.

Abstract
The changes in the morphology and the mechanical properties of hollow polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules made from poly(styrenesulfonate)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) in response to added salt were investigated. We found that capsules shrink in response to salt exposure. The effect depends strongly on the nature of the salt added and follows trends of the Hoffmeister series, with weakly hydrated cations inducing the strongest shrinking. For NaCl, we have investigated additional effects on capsule mechanical properties that are occurring above a 3 M salt concentration and we found that the morphological changes are accompanied by a pronounced softening of the capsule wall material, which we can quantify by analyzing the force response of capsules in the prebuckling regime. This shows that salts can act as plasticizers in the multilayers and induce annealing effects.

Abstract
Mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules were studied using a new method combining atomic-force microscopy and reflection interference contrast microscopy. By measuring the force vs. deformation for poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(allylamine) capsules the existence of different deformation regimes depending on the applied deformation was shown. The present paper focuses on the small-deformation regime. The elastic response of the deformed capsule was studied as a function of the wall thickness and the capsule size, and showed the theoretically expected variations. The Young modulus obtained from the experiments ranges between 1.3 and 1.9 GPa.

Abstract
Theory predicts that dewetting of a homogeneous liquid film from a solid surface may proceed via unstable surface waves on the liquid. This phenomenon, usually termed spinodal dewetting, has been sought after in many systems. Observations in liquid crystal and liquid metal films showed that, as expected, the emerging structures were similar to those found for spinodal decomposition in mixtures. Certain differences, however, could be attributed to peculiarities of the wetting forces in these two dissimilar systems, thereby demonstrating the role of nonlinearities inherent in the wetting forces.

Abstract
Although deficient DNA repair was proposed for neurodegenerative disorders including Down syndrome (DS), repair proteins for nucleotide excision repair have not been studied in brain yet. As one of the hypotheses for the pathogenesis of brain damage in DS and Alzheimer's disease (AD), is oxidative stress, and cells of patients with DS were shown to be more susceptible to ionizing irradiation. We decided to study expression of excision repair-cross-complementing (ERCC) gene products, proteins 80 and 89, representatives of repair genes known to be involved in the repair of different types of DNA damage. ERCC2-protein 80 kDa and ERCC3-protein p89 were determined in five individual brain regions of controls, aged DS and AD patients. Although different in the individual regions, DNA repair proteins were consistently higher in temporal and frontal lobes of patients with DS and higher in all brain regions of patients with AD. Our results are the first to describe DNA repair gene protein patterns in human brain regions providing the basis for further studies in this area. We showed that DNA repair genes ERCC2 and ERCC3 (excision-repair-cross-complementing) for nucleotide excision repair were increased at the protein level with the possible biological meaning that this increase may be compatible with and indicate ongoing (oxidative?) DNA damage.

Abstract
Seven cases of recurrent posterior instability of the shoulder were reviewed, three with recurrent subluxation and four with recurrent posterior dislocations. All were treated surgically, one by inverted Putti-Platt, one by glenoplasty and five by posterior bone block procedures. The follow-up goes from three to 17.5 years (mean 8.5 years). Clinical history and physical examination were the most accurate diagnostic methods. There were three excellent, one fair, and one poor results with two failures. The poor result and failure cases are due to technical errors, particularly because of wrong positioning of the graft in posterior bone block procedures. We suggest a bone graft with a projection of at least 15 mm beyond the glenoid rim to obtain a good result with this technique. Osteoarthritis does not seem to develop at long-term in our patients even with a poor result except for those with iatrogenic origin. The functional results are stable over time except for patients with osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of metastasis disease of the humerus was applied for 46 lesions among 42 patients, i-e 22% of overall osteosyntheses for skeletal metastasis. Two patients only are still alive at 3 and 4 years. The mean survival time is 8.1 months and at 3 months 50% died. Metastasis disease of the humerus becomes evident late during the evolution of the primary cancer, but 26% are revealing lesions. For 9.5% the primary tumor remains unknown. After review of the surgical methods generally used, indirect osteosynthesis by intra-medullary pinning according to Hackethal, without bone cement, is alleged. So the arm is immediately mobilized and a complementary irradiation is applied in post-operative. Prophylactic fixation of impending fractures is encouraged in order to suppress pain, and for better function. This paper demonstrates the changing concept of internal fixation of pathologic fractures and recommends intra-medullary nailing or pinning.

Abstract
About 4 observations of benign tumours of the spine of the adolescent, we have studied the surgical aspect of the treatment of these lesion. The choice of the surgical approach is fundamental in view of the necessity of a complete exeresis, which implies techniques of spinal reconstruction and stabilization. Those problems are illustrated by: 2 cases of aneurysmal cyst, 1 case of eosinophilic granuloma, and 1 case of osteochondroma.

Abstract
Trochanteritis is a rare osteoarticular site of tuberculosis which initiates within the serous bursa of the gluteus maximus and extends only secondarily to the greater trochanter. Its course is a slow one. Diagnosis is usually delayed but should be made earlier by the use of ultrasound and the CT scan. These provide details of the bone remodelling detected on standard radiography, and show the presence of a variable fluid collection of a topography that attaches it to the serous bursa of gluteus maximus, and provides a guide to diagnostic needle puncture for biopsy. Overall data allow improved adaptation of medico-surgical treatment.

Abstract
The place of standard CT scan imaging more particularly when combined with double contrast arthrography, is defined in the preoperative screening of patients with anterior instability of the shoulder. The joint scan provides complete data on the anatomic elements of the shoulder lesion, particularly with reference to the glenoidal labrum and the anterior capsular structure. It is also of major diagnostic value in painful subluxations.

Abstract
The Shoulder Radiographic Evaluation ("Complet Radiologique de l'Epaule") is completed by four positions: Standard A-P, Axillary axial view, Profil of the scapula, A-P in arm abduction. This paper focuses on the radiographic examination of the components of scapular girdle and shoulder articular complex. Several positions are described as routine positions in trauma. This radiographic procedure is of helpful interest for clinical, therapeutic and forensic applications.

Abstract
A statistical study of 1200 McKee-Farrar cemented total prostheses of the hip demonstrated the importance of a horizontal position of the cup and a valgus position of the prosthetic stem, in avoiding aseptic loosening of the prosthetic parts. A new test (the Cramer test) showed that a statistical bond exists between the position of the prosthesis and the occurrence of aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Intravascular injections of India ink in the femora of adult dogs revealed the existence of two distinct vascular systems in the cortex. One courses through the entire thickness of the cortex and is a regular, longitudinal network of uniform capillaries which is in continuity with the periosteal and endosteal networks. Once the haversian systems form a second network appears, radiating from the bone marrow. That system, primarily transverse, anastomoses in the haversian canals with the capillaries of the first system. Therefore, the merging of the two networks occurs primarily in the middle layer of the cortex. The direction of the arterial blood flow in the mature animal is predominantly centrifugal, while the venous drainage is centripetal. In the immature animal, the contribution of the periosteal network is much greater. Because the two cortical systems are profusely anastomosed with each other and with the periosteal and endosteal circulatory networks, the blood can flow in either direction, depending on physiological conditions.

Abstract
A case of simultaneous rupture of three tendons is reported in a patient who had suffered a bilateral nephrectomy six years earlier and was on chronic haemodialysis. The quadriceps tendon and the patellar tendon were repaired surgically. The rupture of the tendo Achillis was left untreated. Six days later a parathyroidectomy was performed; nine months later recovery was excellent. A review of the literature has been made. The role of hyperparathyroidism in the strength of the bone-tendon junction is discussed.

Abstract
Metastatic malignancies of the hand are infrequent and seldom initially diagnosed and often taken for infections. They usually occur at the late stage of metastatic generalization and indicate an ominous prognosis and justify surgical amputation. A case of metastasis to the distal phalanx of the left ring finger of a woman who had undergone radical mastectomy for breast cystosarcoma phylloides is reported. The evolution of this lesion, initially taken for a whitlow, lasted 45 days and eventually was treated by amputation. A review of literature confirms the rarity of the lesion, and reveals the pathological, clinical and radiographic characteristics.
