    Notes: [Auszug] The removal of apoptotic cells is essential for the physiological well being of the organism. In Caenorhabditis elegans, two conserved, partially redundant genetic pathways regulate this process. In the first pathway, the proteins CED-2, CED-5 and CED-12 (mammalian homologues CrkII, Dock180 and ...

    Notes: Abstract:  Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is often used in the assessment of lymph node status in melanoma and early stage breast cancer. With the rapidly increasing use of the technique, we can now better characterize and assess the rate of adverse reactions to the dye. Methods: A retrospective review of all patients undergoing SLN mapping at the Columbia-Presbyterian Breast Center were identified from June 2000 to July 2002. All patients who experienced allergic reactions were documented and records examined. Results: In total, three out of 351 patients had allergic complications from the procedure. All three patients developed “blue hives” after injection with isosulfan blue. The incidence at our Breast Center was 0.9%. All were treated with intravenous corticosteroids and diphenhydramine and recovered within twenty-four hours. Conclusions: The increasing utilization of the sentinel lymph node technique will make these complications more common. A high index of suspicion and appropriate clinical management are recommended to minimize the potential morbidity of these reactions.

    Notes: Aims : Eosinophilic heart syndromes are rare in Western countries and include endocarditis parietalis fibroplastica (EPF) and hypersensitivity myocarditis (HM). There are striking differences in natural history and morphological findings. Since diagnosis can be difficult when analysing small myocardial biopsies lacking the characteristic histological features, we studied a set of immunohistochemical markers in order to characterize the activation status of the infiltrating eosinophils to distinguish between these two entities.Methods and results : This study is based on the investigation of seven explanted hearts and one left ventricular specimen collected during implantation of a left ventricular assist device from a total of seven patients with HM. Also investigated were three right and three left ventricular specimens from five patients with EPF. We used antibodies (Ab) against EG1, and EG2, CD44, and CD69 which have been described as markers to distinguish between resting and activated eosinophils. The EG1 to EG2 ratio of eosinophils and the immunoreactivity against CD44 showed no differences between the two entities. However, eosinophils in the EPF were completely negative for CD69, whereas eosinophils reacted positively within the HM group.Conclusion : The immunohistochemical investigation of eosinophilic heart diseases using antibodies against CD69 can be a useful tool to distinguish between hypersensitivity myocarditis and endocarditis parietalis fibroplastica.

    Notes: Summary.  The ankle is one of the most frequent joint affected by haemophilia, in the second decade of life it can be considered as the most common site for haemophilic arthropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of 15 surgical interventions of the hindfoot performed on 11 patients. Twenty-seven of 70 male patients suffering from haemophilia were treated for haemophilic arthropathy of the hindfoot. We performed 15 operations on 11 patients with a mean age of 33.5 (range: 10–53) years. The surgical treatment consisted of 15 operations, 12 of which concerned the talocrural joint (six synovectomies, three radiosynoviorthesis, four arthrodeses, one achilles tendon lengthening) and one the talocalcaneonavicular joint (one triplearthrodesis). The arthrodeses of the talocrural joint were undertaken by screw, the triplearthrodesis by clamp fixation. The synovectomies were all late synovectomies and performed by open means. The mean follow-up period was 32.0 (range: 12–84) months. The mean age at surgery was 29.6 (range: 8–51) years. No perioperative complications were registered when adequate replacement therapy was carried out. The consolidation of the arthrodeses was accomplished within 8–12 weeks. All synovectomies stopped or reduced significantly recurrent joint bleeding. With both procedures we achieved pain relief and walking ability improvement. The aim of synovectomy is to reduce bleeding episodes. If synovectomy can halt the progression of the haemophilic arthropathy is controversially discussed, especially when surgery was carried out in the presence of an established arthropathy. If synovectomy fails, the arthrodesis proves to be a good treatment option.
