    Background: Patients with nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) show typical symptoms of persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR). The aim of the present study was to compare nasal cytokine patterns between NARES and PAR. Methods: Nasal secretions of 31 patients suffering from NARES, 20 patients with PAR to house dust mite and 21 healthy controls were collected using the cotton wool method and analyzed for interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-17, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1 beta) by Bio-Plex Cytokine Assay as well as eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and tryptase by UniCAP-FEIA. Results: NARES and PAR presented elevated levels of tryptase, while ECP was markedly increased solely in NARES compared to both the controls and PAR. Elevated levels of IL-1 beta, IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and MCP-1 were found in NARES compared to the controls as well as PAR. MIP-1 beta was elevated in NARES and PAR, while IL-4, IL-6 and G-CSF showed increased levels in NARES, and IL-5 was elevated in PAR only. Conclusions: In patients with NARES and PAR, eosinophils and mast cells appear to be the pivotal cells of inflammation, reflected by high levels of tryptase and ECP as well as IL-5 and GM-CSF as factors for eosinophil migration and survival. The elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines in NARES may indicate the chronic, self-perpetuating process of inflammation in NARES which seems to be more pronounced than in PAR. IL-17 might be a factor for neutrophilic infiltration or be responsible for remodeling processes in NARES. Copyright (C) 2012 S. Karger AG, Base

    High Temperature Water Electrolysis Using Metal Supported Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cells (SOEC)

    Metal supported cells as developed according to the DLR SOFC concept by applying plasma deposition technologies were investigated for use as solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOEC) for high temperature steam electrolysis. Cells consisting of a porous ferritic steel support, a diffusion barrier layer, a Ni/YSZ hydrogen electrode, a YSZ electrolyte and a LSCF oxygen electrode were electrochemically characterised by means of i-V characteristics and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements including a long-term test over 2000 hours. The cell voltage during electrolysis operation at a current density of -1.0 A cm-2 was 1.28 V at an operating temperature of 850 °C and 1.4 V at 800 °C. A long-term test run over 2000 hours with a steam content of 43% at 800 °C and a current density of -0.3 A cm-2 showed a degradation rate of 3.2% per 1000 hours. The impedance spectra revealed a significantly enhanced polarisation resistance during electrolysis operation compared to fuel cell operation which was mainly attributed to the hydrogen electrode

    Batrachophthalmum quimbaya Carvalho, Wolff & Wendt, new species (Figs. 6–10) Diagnosis. This is an unusual and extraordinary stalk-eyed species of Richardiidae, distinguished from other species of genus by the following characteristics: size of each stalk (approximately 1.5 times the length of the body); legs mostly light brown, except for hind leg, yellow from apical half of tibia (Fig. 7); wing yellowish with three brown marks: a very faint subbasal, an irregular apical and a wide median band (Fig. 8). Abdomen light brown (Fig. 7). Length (holotype): head width: 27 mm; body: 8.5 mm; wing: 9.5 mm. Male. Head (Figs. 6, 9). Gena brownish. Clypeus, face and frons white pollinose, frons pollinosity from anterior ocellus to base of lunule. Eye remarkable stalked. Postocellar seta weak. Supracervical setae whitish. Thorax (Figs. 7, 10). Mesonotum dark brown with a greyish median dorsal stripe on scutum; scutellum light brown. Upper and lower calypters very small, with margin brownish; halter whitish with base and knob brownish. Legs (Fig. 7): light brown, except for yellow tarsi 3–5 of fore and mid leg; hind tibia with half apical and tarsi 3-5 yellow; coxa and trochanter of mid and hind legs dark brown. Anterior femur with 4 posteroventral spines on apical ½ and 2 anteroventral spines on apical third. Wing (Fig. 8): mostly yellowish, with three brown maculae: a very faint subbasal, an irregular apical, and a wide transversal median band, which is discontinuous, with two hyaline areas, one on apical portion of cell dm and another on basal portion of cell r 4 + 5 (Fig. 8). Abdomen (Fig. 7). Light brown; syntergites 1 + 2 and tergites 3–5 similar in color. Female: unknown. Type material. Holotype 3. COLOMBIA. Risaralda. Pereira. / Santuario de Flora y Fauna Otún-/ Quimbaya Trampa VSR bosque/ Mayo 2001 Grupo de Entomologia/ CEUA 12796 (CEUA). Paratype 3: labelled as in holotype (CEUA). The type-locality is in the central mountain range of the Andes, between 1750 and 2400 m, with an average temperature of 16 °C and average annual rainfall of 2600mm /year. The area where the Santuario de Fauna y Flora is located has 489 he. The area is characterized by sub Andean forest, humid mountains and wetlands with diverse vegetation that includes plantations, mature forests and natural forests in different states of succession. These make up a corridor extending up to the Páramo. The specimens were collected with rotting fish traps in a well conserved forest at 1900 m. Remarks. There is no other variation between the paratype and the holotype except for the fact that the paratype is smaller (head width: 17.2 mm; body length: 7.2 mm and wing length: 7.9 mm). Etymology. The epithet quimbaya refers to the Quimbaya indigenous people who inhabited areas corresponding to the middle valley of the Cauca River in the modern departments of Caldas, Quindío and Risaralda in Colombia.Published as part of De, Claudio J.
