ABSTRACT
Photophysical properties of a lipophilic chlorin derivative and its zinc and tin chelates were investigated in chloroform. The quantum yields of the fluorescence phi F, of the S1----T1 intersystem crossing phi T and of singlet oxygen (1 delta g) formation phi delta, as well as the Stern-Volmer constants for the quenching of the S1 states by oxygen and the rate constants of quenching of O2(1 delta g) by the chlorins were measured. In comparison to the metal-free chlorin an increase of phi T and a decrease of phi F have been observed for the metal-containing derivatives, whereas the phi delta values remain constant.

The prevalence of delusional jealousy in 8134 psychiatric in-patients was 1.1%. Delusions of jealousy were most frequent in organic psychoses (7.0%), paranoid disorders (6.7%), alcohol psychosis (5.6%) and schizophrenia (2.5%), while in affective disorder delusions of jealousy could be found in only 0.1%. Because schizophrenia and affective disorder were the most common diagnoses, most patients with delusions of jealousy were schizophrenics. In schizophrenia, women were more likely to suffer from delusional jealousy, while in alcohol psychosis, men were more likely than women to suffer from delusional jealousy.

Based on the evaluation of case reports of 15 inpatients treated between 1971 and 1986 who had been suffering from persistent alcoholic jealousy mania for at least three years, the psychopathological characteristics of this disease are outlined to define two types of courses of the disturbance: on the one hand, the more frequent monosymptomatic form with gradual onset and on the other hand the acutely occurring jealousy mania within the frame of an alcoholic hallucinosis with additional signs of delusions and acoustic hallucinations rounding off the clinical pattern. Prognosis especially of the second, schizophreniform type of the course appears unfavourable. Organic brain performance deficits and disturbances of sexual function are seen with both types of alcoholic jealousy mania.
