Nåden och gåvan i Philipp Melanchthons rättfärdiggörelselära 1521-1535

In this thesis Philip Melanchthon’s doctrine of justification is analyzed, especially the aspects of favor and donum in his writings until 1535. The research task is defined in the introduction of the thesis. Researchers agree, that Melanchthon emphasized the forensic aspect of the doctrine of justification, but this is not the case with the effective aspect of his doctrine of justification. Therefore, I have chosen to focus on the concepts of favor (grace) and donum (gift). The thesis begins with an analysis of the first edition of the Loci communes of 1521 in chapter two, and it ends with the second edition from 1535 in chapter seven. Melanchthon’s most important writings from the intervening period are analyzed in chapters three to six. In chapter eight, I describe my final results from the analysis. Although I have focused on how Melanchthon perceived the relationship between favor and donum, I have also taken note of such loci that are associated with his view of justification. I have done this in order to get a clearer picture of Melanchthon’s doctrine of justification, and of the issues which change in his theological thinking over time. In the research overview in chapter one, I divided the researchers in four different groups depending on how they perceive Melanchthon’s doctrine of justification. This classification is of course not comprehensive, since the reality is much more complicated. The main interpretations present in Melanchthon research are: 1. Christ as favor in justification, but donum is excluded from justification. 2. Christ as favor in justification, but the Spirit is donum in justification. 3. Christ as both favor and donum in justification until the early 1530s. 4. Christ as both favor and donum in justification throughout his life. The fourth option is in my opinion the most preferable. The analysis of Melanchthon’s writings shows that he expects both a forensic, and an effective aspect in the doctrine of justification throughout the examined period. Melanchthon strongly emphasizes that justification is by grace alone through faith for Christ’s sake, but also that the Holy Spirit works the justifying faith, and is the gift bestowed on believers in connection with this. Where the opponents according to Melanchthon see deeds, virtues, or a quality in the believer as the cause of the justification, there Melanchthon sees only Christ.

Effect of bariatric surgery on adipose tissue distribution in severely obese patients

Background and aim: Bariatric surgery leads to sustain weight loss, improve metabolic and lipids profiles and ultimately leads to remission of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in some obese individuals. The aim of the project is to evaluate the effect of bariatric on abdominal fat distribution in severely obese T2DM and non-T2DM obese patients. Study design and methods: A total of 23 morbidly obese subjects (mean ± SD body mass index 43.0 ± 3.6 kg/m2, age 46.5 ± 9.0 years) were recruited from the lager multicenter SLEEVEPASS studies (ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT00793143). 10 healthy age-matched non-obese individuals served as controls. The obese patients were studied before and 6 months after surgery. At baseline, there were 9 T2DMs and 14 non-diabetics. After surgery, there were 5 remitters and 4 nonremitters. Whole body magnetic resonance imaging including the abdominal regions was performed for the obese subjects before and 6 months after surgery and for the controls once. Abdominal fat were compartmentalized and analyzed. Results: At 6 months of follow-up, BMI in the obese decreased significantly (from 43 ± 4 to 33 ± 2 kg/m2, p < 0.001) with substantial improvement in whole body insulin sensitivity (from 12.2 ± 5.7 to 23.3 ± 8.1 µmol/kg/min, p < 0.001). Intraperitoneal fat mass decreased by 46% (from 3.4 ± 1.1 to 1.9± 1.0 kg, p < 0.001) more than the rest of the compartments. Abdominal visceral compartments in obese correlated with glycemic status independent of surgery. Pre-surgery posterior deep and intraperitoneal fat mass were better predictors of post-surgery glycemic status in obese. Remitters showed significant improvement in whole body insulin sensitivity (from 9.1 ± 2.1 to 20.9 ± 8.4 µmol/kg/min, p = 0.02), fasting glucose decreased significant only in nonremitters (from 7.1 ± 1.1 to 6.0 ± 0.8 mmol/l, p = 0.05) after surgery. There were no differences in extraperitoneal fat mass in remitters and superficial subcutaneous fat in non-remitters but all other compartments decreased significantly 6 months after the surgery Conclusion: Both deep subcutaneous and visceral fat are important contributors to glycemic status in obese subjects. Whereas visceral fat compartments are directly involved in T2DM, superficial subcutaneous may have offered protection against T2DM in obese subjects.
