Quantification of blood fraction (fblood), blood oxygenation (S<img src="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/jbio.201200055/asset/equation/tex2gif-inf-2.gif?v=1&amp;t=h70man4a&amp;s=4a6d004ec608a2a6ec8e8597f73bdb6be30286e8" />), melanin, lipofuscin and oxidised and reduced Cytochrome aa 3 and c was done from diffuse reflectance spectra captured in cortex, white matter, globus pallidus internus (GPi) and subthalamus during stereotactic implantations of 29 deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes with the aim of investigating whether the chromophores can give physiological information about the targets for DBS. Double-sided Mann-Whitney U -tests showed more lipofuscin in GPi compared to white matter and subthalamus (p &lt; 0.05). Compared to the other structures, fbloodwas significantly higher in cortex (p &lt; 0.05) and S<img src="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/jbio.201200055/asset/equation/tex2gif-inf-4.gif?v=1&amp;t=h70man4c&amp;s=855c70105e88a292de25618487573dfc7d30e08a" /> lower in GPi (p &lt; 0.05). Median values and range for fblood were 1.0 [0.2–6.0]% in the cortex, 0.3 [0.1–8.2]% in white matter, 0.2 [0.1–0.8]% in the GPi and 0.2 [0.1–11.7]% in the subthalamus. Corresponding values for S<img src="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/jbio.201200055/asset/equation/tex2gif-inf-6.gif?v=1&amp;t=h70man4e&amp;s=151ec25bee7270bcfc2292e70d6f4aea18348dbc" /> was 20 [0–81]% in the cortex, 29 [0–78]% in white matter, 0 [0–0]% in the GPi and 0 [0–92]% in the subthalamus. In conclusion, the measurements indicate very low oxygenation and blood volume for DBS patients, especially in the GPi. It would be of great interest to investigate whether this is due to the disease, the normal situation or an artefact of doing invasive measurements.

本論文的題目是「從神聖奧義到語言對話」(Vom Mysterium zum Dialog)，副標題是「奧古斯丁語詞理論與高達美哲學詮釋學」(die augustinischen Verbumlehre und Gadamers philosophischen Hermeneutik)。這「語詞理論」(Verbumlehre)，又譯「聖言論」，指的是基督教哲學中最重要的奧秘：「道成肉身」(Verbum Incarnatum)。在奧古斯丁的《論三位一體》中，這奧秘是由人的心靈活動、由內言與外言的關係來解釋的；而在《真理與方法》中，高達美則轉而由道成肉身的比喻去解釋對話的普遍性。 語詞理論──這由奧古斯丁所確立的神學思想如何在哲學詮釋學中發生作用，即是本論文所進行的研究主題。本書透過四方面來展開這份研究：首先，探討高達美哲學詮釋學的對話論述；第二，說明奧古斯丁神學對詮釋學語言的影響；第三，探究路德宗神學對奧古斯丁思想的保存與發展，藉此闡明修辭學傳統如何作為詮釋學的普遍方面；最後說明奧古斯丁神學與修辭學之關聯，討論詮釋學經驗的語言性如何能表述世界。
