Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is based on the invited and contributed papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Anticarcinogenesis and Radiation Protection held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, on March 8-12, 1987. The conference documented developments that have taken place in areas that were addressed during the first conference in 1982. A number of new topics, such as biological response modifiers, were included because of their emerging relevance to anticarcinogenesis and radiation protection. The organization of the material in this book does not follow the conference program; rather, we have attempted to provide a different sequence for didactic reasons. The aim of the conference, which is reflected in this book, was to promote further development of mechanistic approaches to cancer prevention and treatment based on recent progress in molecular biology and free radical chemistry. At the basis of carcinogenesis lie changes in the dynamics of growth and differentiation of specific cell subpopulations in the target tissue. 'These changes are brought about by selective toxicity and modulation of gene expression that are induced by xenobiotic carcinogens and affected by physiological and genetic factors. The book deals with oxidative stress and molecular damage caused by radiation and chemical pro-oxidants and their role in carcinogenesis, and it discusses mechanisms of deregulation of the expression of oncogenes and other genes involved in carcinogenic initiation and promotion.

½ S. Folio. Behufs der Erlangung des Meister Rechts bei der Löbl. Schuhmacher-Innung zu Zwenkau wird dem Karl Erdmann Haertel hierdurch bezeugt daß er seit Jahresfrist in der hiesigen poliklinischen Anstalt an epileptischen Anfällen behandelt worden ist und noch in Behandlung verbleibt und daß er deswegen die übliche Wanderschaft zu unternehmen unfähig gewesen ist [.]". Cerutti war nach seiner Promotion am Klinischen Institut der Universität Leipzig tätig und gründete 1817 eine Kinderpoliklinik, die später mit dem Klinischen Institut zu einer Allgemeinen Poliklinik zusammengelegt und von ihm geleitet wurde. 1821 wurde er zum ersten außerordentlichen Professor der Pathologischen Anatomie an der Universität Leipzig ernannt. Mehrere Schlaganfälle zwangen ihn 1852 alle seine Ämter aufzugeben. Neben einigen Einzeluntersuchungen gab er von 1821 bis 25 das aus fünf Bänden bestehende Pathologisch-anatomische Museum" heraus, eine Sammlung pathologisch-anatomischer Beobachtungen. Mitunterzeichnet von Albert Braune (17991848), der seit 1835 Vorstandsmitglied der Poliklinik für Innere Krankheiten war und in dem Jahr, aus dem vorliegendes Attest datiert, eine Professur für allgemeine Therapie und spezielle Arzneimittellehre antreten sollte. Durchwegs mit Randläsuren und mit kl. Papierdurchbruch im Mittelfalz; papierbedingt stärker gebräunt bzw. angestaubt; mit Rundstempel der Leipziger Poliklinik; beiliegend eine alte Sammlungsbeschreibung.

G.: Fall eines Magenkrebses mit Durchlöcherung des Magens. Cerutti wurde 1821 zum ao. Professor der pathologischen Anatomie in Leipzig ernannt und hielt seine Vorlesungen in der Anatomie. Er war also der erste eigentliche Vertreter unseres Faches an unserer Universität, die damit den meisten deutschen Universitäten vorausging. "1787 beginnen die Anfänge der Sammlung mit einem anatomischen Kabinett (in Leipzig). 1803 umfasste das Kabinett etwa 800 vor allem zu Lehrzwecken genutzte Stücke und wurde 1813 um die Sammlung des St. Jakobsspitals erweitert. 1821 wurde Friedrich Peter Ludwig Cerutti (1789-1858) als erster Professor für pathologische Anatomie berufen und die Sammlung der Fachrichtung Pathologie unterstellt. Die damaligen etwa 1.000 Präparate dokumentierten vor allem die Veränderungen krankhafter Prozesse, so z. B. die Folgen von Syphilis oder Tuberkulose. Durch weitere Erweiterungen Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Aufnahme der Exponate der aufgelösten Chirurgisch-Medicinischen Akademie zu Dresden stieg die Sammlung auf 6.000 Spiritus- und 2.000 Knochenpräparate an und wurde im neu errichteten Pathologischen Institut untergebracht. Dabei gingen etliche ältere Präparate verloren. Der Bestand ging auf 2.532 im Jahr 1900 zurück. Unter Felix Marchand (1846-1928) zog 1906 die Sammlung in den Institutsneubau an der Ecke Liebigstr./Johannisallee um, in dem sie bis heute beherbergt ist. Unter der Leitung Marchands wurde die Sammlung erheblich ausgebaut und durch einen eigens angestellten Präparator aufgewertet. Erstmals wurde auch eine umfassende Katalogisierung und Sortierung durchgeführt. Den Zweiten Weltkrieg überstand die Sammlung trotz Bebombung unbeschadet. Seit 1951 wurden statt neuen Präparaten Diapositive angefertigt. Während den sechziger Jahren mussten die Exponate aus Platzgründen neuen Abteilungen weichen und wurden zu großen Teilen vernichtet. Nur wenige seltene Präparate wurden erhalten. Die verbliebenen Exponate der einstmals umfassenden pathologisch-anatomischen Museums Felix Marchands werden heute wieder regelmäßig in der Lehre eingesetzt." .
