Abstract: Surface-modified solids bearing groups of the formula I SiR12—R—NH2??(I), are prepared by reacting a solid having OH groups on a surface thereof with a cyclic silazane of the general formula II where R is a divalent optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical optionally containing heteroatom containing groups, and R1 is a hydrogen atom, or a monovalent optionally substituted hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy group optionally containing heteroatom-containing groups. The surface-modified solids are preferably metal oxide particles. Such surface-modified particles are useful in numerous products.

Abstract: A method for the diagnostic detection of diseases associated with protein depositions (pathological protein depositions) by measuring an association of substructures of the pathological protein depositions, structures forming pathological protein depositions, structures corresponding to pathological protein depositions and/or pathological protein depositions as a probe; to substructures of the pathological protein depositions structures forming pathological protein depositions, structures corresponding to pathological protein deposition and/or pathological protein depositions as targets; characterized in that the target is detected in liquid phase wherein, in the case of detecting Alzheimer's disease, the liquid phase is obtained from body fluids or is itself a body fluid; with the proviso that the association of the probe to the target is measured before self-aggregation of the probe predominates.
