The theme of this diploma thesis are Difficulties with Reflexive Verbs in German and Czech. It consists of two parts – theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focuses on typology and classification of the German and Czech reflexive verbs upon different linguists and criterias. Further aim is the difficulcy within the passive forms in Czech as well as German. The practical part is based on excerpted language material outsourced from the Czech-German parallel language corpus. The goal of the thesis is to determine how the Czech reflexive forms can be translated into German language.
In 12 patients with cirrhosis of the liver (six with ascites) and six controls the authors made catheterizations of the hepatic veins and portal circulation, assessing concurrently the in cardiac output by thermodilution. The patients with ascitic cirrhosis had, as compared with controls, a significantly higher portohepatic gradient, central venous pressure, mean pressure in the pulmonary artery and also pulmonary capillary wedged pressure and a significantly lower mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance. These patients had also, as compared with controls, a significantly higher concentration of ANF (atrial natriuretic factor) in the pulmonary artery (15.89 +/- 2.26 vs. 8.04 +/- 0.97, p less than 0.01) and in the hepatic vein (7.44 +/- 0.44 vs. 3.91 +/- 0.63, p less than 0.01); the difference between ANF concentrations in the peripheral blood stream was not significant (9.52 +/- 2.46 vs. 5.71 +/- 1.24 n. s.). Patients with ascitic cirrhosis of the liver had a significantly higher calculated cardiac production of ANF than controls (24.36 +/- 3.44 vs. 8.12 +/- 2.9, p less than 0.01); the difference in the splanchnic extraction of ANF between patients with ascitic cirrhosis of the liver (0.46 +/- 0.1) and controls (0.51 +/- 0.06) was not significant. The ANF concentration in the pulmonary artery in patients with cirrhosis of the liver correlated significantly with the central venous pressure (r = 0.677, p = 0.02) and the pressure in the pulmonary artery in a wedged position (r = 0.639, p = 0.03).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Aim of the study was to reveal the possible factors regulating plasma endothelin (ET) levels in vivo in patients with essential hypertension (EH) by the simultaneous determination of plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone (ALD). In addition, the possible relationship between ET and circulating endothelial cells as a marker of endothelial damage was also investigated. The postural test revealed a significant increase of ET levels (26.7 +/- 9 vs 11.5 +/- 3 fmol/ml, p < 0.05) in the upright position. Captopril administration did not change plasma ET levels. No significant correlation was found between ET and PRA or ALD. Although a tendency to a positive correlation between ET and circulating endothelial cells (as the marker of endothelial perturbation) was found, it did not attain statistical significance. Our data do not support the suggestion that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a major role in the regulation of ET secretion in vivo in EH. Postural stimulation of ET secretion may be caused by other factors than renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
The urinary excretion of free noradrenaline (NA), adrenaline (A), dopamine (DA), the DA/NA ratio in the urine, plasma renin activity (PRA) and their mutual relationship were investigated in 71 patients suffering from different types of arterial hypertension. In spite of the fact that the mean values of excreted catecholamines, with the exception of pheochromocytoma, lie within the range of values found in healthy controls, certain differences were found in spectrum of excreted catecholamines. In patients with labile, malignant and renovascular hypertension and in pheochromcytoma the higher mean excretion of NA and the low DA/NA ratio was accompanied by the higher PRA in comparison with fixed benign essential hypertension. On the other hand, in hypertension with low PRA (essential hypertension with suppressed renin and Conn's syndrome) a low excretion of NA and high DA/NA ratio was found. There was a significant, if not even very close negative correlation between the PRA and DA/NA ratios both in recumbent and upright position. The rise of PRA on standing up was followed by an increased excretion of NA while the excretion of DA did not change or decreased. Hence the DA/NA ratio when standing up showed a decreasing tendency as compared with values when lying down. Application of the beta-blocker Inderal decreased the PRA and the blood pressure not only in juvenile hypertensive patients with hyperkinetic circulation but also in the early phases of renovascular hypertension. It thus appears that endogenous catecholamines, first of all the ratio between the renin-inhibiting DA and the renin-stimulating NA, participate as one of several factors in the regulation of secretion and of the plasma levels of renin not only in juvenile hypertensive patients with hyperkinetic circulation but also in other types of hypertension.
