    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Infection of the elbow is a rare complication of fracture treatment: it is occasionally seen as a primary complication, but also after injections, soft tissue defects, bursectomies and ulcerogenic lesions. It may spread by the haematogenous, lymphogenic or metastatic route. The onset of symptoms is often mild, so that patient and physician are deceived and treatment even of severe infections is delayed. Conservative treatment of joint infection or a limited surgical approach is seldom sufficient. The aim of treatment should be the restoration of joint movement, at least to an extent allowing pro- and supination of the hand. In case of an acute infection a transarthroscopic approach with debridement and irrigation of the joint can yield good results if repeated daily until the symptoms of the infection subside. Because of the prolonged course of the disease we prefer a two-stage approach at our institution. The first stage is a bilateral arthrotomy of the joint, involving a synoviectomy and insertion of local antibiotics (Septopal®, Miniseptopal®). The joint is left open, and the patient receives careful hydrophysical therapy with limited joint movement. Antibiotics are administered perioperatively, and the wounds are dressed daily with iodine ointment. Once there is no further pustulent secretion, the arthrotomy is closed after 7–12 days, at the same time as a thorough debridement is performed in a second-stage operation. Intensive physical rehabilitation, including ergotherapy and mobilisation with transposition of the joint, begins immediately after this procedure, augmented in most cases by administration of intravenous analgesic medication. From 1979 to 1997, we treated 27 cases of empyema of the elbow. Surgical therapy consisted in primary arthrodesis ¶because of severe joint destruction ¶in 2 patients (7.4%). In 4 patients (14.8%) a one-stage-approach was considered, but the treatment was unsuccessful in 2 cases. In 21 patients (77.8%) a two-stage-approach was undertaken as the primary procedure. No complications were found in 19 patients (82.6%), while in ¶4 cases soft-tissue defects were closed in a second operation. Late complications included 2 recurrent infections. Long-term follow-up was possible in 20 of 25 patients with preservation of joint function. These included 5 patients (20%) who had a free range of motion (ROM), while ¶6 patients (24%) were limited to one quarter ROM, 4 patients each (16%) to a half and three quarters ROM compared with the contralateral joint, and 1 patient (4%) had a stiff elbow.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Ellbogengelenkinfektion ist glücklicherweise eine relativ seltene Komplikation der Frakturbehandlung, gelegentlich auch eine primäre Erkrankung nach Injektion, Bursektomie, nach Defekten oder Ulzera, hämatogen, lymphogen, metastatisch oder postoperativ. Die Symptomatik ist nicht selten wenig dramatisch, so daß auch die ausgedehnte Gelenkinfektion häufiger über längere Zeit übersehen, fehlgedeutet oder sowohl vom Patienten als auch vom Arzt bagatellisiert werden kann. Die Gelenkinfektion kann nur selten allein konservativ oder mit begrenztem chirurgischem Vorgehen erfolgreich therapiert werden. Ziel sollte stets der Wiedergewinn der Funktion sein, dabei ist auch der alleinige Erhalt der Umwendbewegungen der Hand durchaus von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Bei der akuten Infektion kann durchaus allein transarthroskopisch vorgegangen werden, wobei ein intensives Débridement (Shaving) unter reichlich Spülung vorgenommen werden sollte und das Vorgehen bis zur definitiven Infektionsberuhigung möglichst täglich wiederholt wird. Wegen des gehäuft langwierigen Verlaufs hat sich bei uns das zweizeitige chirurgische Vorgehen bewährt, wobei im ersten Eingriff möglichst nach zweiseitiger Arthrotomie eine totale Synovialektomie unter Schonung der Gelenkstrukturen mit Einlage von Septopal ® (meist Miniseptopal ® ) ausgeführt wird. Die Arthrotomien verbleiben nach diesem Eingriff offen. Im postoperativen Verlauf werden unter gleichzeitiger perioperativer systemischer antibiotischer Behandlung vorsichtige Bewegungsübungen im Armbad und tägliche Verbandwechsel mit Betaisodonasalbe ausgeführt. Sistiert die Sekretion, werden die Arthrotomien nach 7–12 Tagen in einem 2. Eingriff nach erneutem radikalem Débridement verschlossen. Anschließend wird unverzüglich ein intensives Mobilisationsprogramm unter Umlagerung, Krankengymnastik, Ergotherapie, anfangs meist unter i.v. Schmerztherapie begonnen. Von 1979–1997 wurden bei uns 27 Ellbogengelenkempyeme behandelt. Zur Infektionsberuhigung wurde bei uns 2mal (7,4%) eine primäre Arthrodese wegen Gelenkzerstörung ausgeführt, bei 4 Patienten (14,8%) wurde ein einzeitiges operatives Vorgehen geplant, 2mal verlief es erfolglos. Bei 21 Patienten (77,8%) wurde primär das zweizeitige operative Vorgehen vorgenommen. Bei 19 Patienten (82,6%) verlief die zweizeitige Behandlung komplikationsfrei, 4mal mußten weiterbestehende Hautdefekte sekundär verschlossen werden. Als Spätkomplikation wurden bislang 2 Infektionsrezidive beobachtet. 20 von 25 Patienten mit Gelenkerhalt konnten mindestens 1–2 Jahre nach der Behandlung nachuntersucht werden: 5 Patienten (20,0%) hatten fast freie Gelenkfunktion, 6 (24,0%) Einschränkungen zu 1/4, je 4 Patienten (16,0%) Einschränkungen zur Hälfte bzw. zu 3 / 4 der Gegenseite, während das Gelenk bei 1 Patienten (4,0%) sekundär eingesteift war.

    Notes: Abstract (1) Single twitch fibres were dissected from tibialis muscles ofRana temporaria and used to study the effect of D600 (gallopamil) on potassium-induced contractures. (2) 95 mM K-Ringer's was applied for 8–15 s at intervals of generally 2.5–5 min; at temperatures of 6–8°C and in the absence of D600 the amplitude of the contractures remained fairly constant. After pretreatment with D600 (30 μM) a single (conditioning) K-contracture was sufficient to ‘paralyze’ the fibres (cf. Eisenberg et al. 1983). (3) Complete paralysis could also be achieved at 18–20°C. In three fibres a single conditioning K-application was sufficient; in two more fibres two or three conditioning K-applications were required. (4) D600-paralysis could not only be achieved with high K-concentrations but also by conditioning with subor suprathreshold K-concentrations (20–40 mM); the duration of the conditioning periods required to induce complete paralysis was approximately the same before and after D600-treatment. (5) Contractures were partially abolished by application of 20–40 mM K-Ringer's for short conditioning periods; after D600-treatment the degree of contracture loss was similar. (6) At low temperature the state of partial or complete paralysis induced by subthreshold K-concentrations and D600 was maintained for long periods of time. (7) The presence of 10 mM Ca2+ did not protect the fibres from being paralyzed by treatment with D600 and high K-Ringer's at low temperature; however, more than one conditioning K-application was required. (8) Resting and action potentials of paralyzed fibres were not significantly different from control values. However, endplate potentials were reduced in size, and failure of neuromuscular transmission was observed in some of these fibres. (9) It is concluded that D600 prolongs the state of inactivation of the contractile mechanism, while the development of inactivation does not seem to be markedly affected.

    Notes: Abstract (1) The effect of 30 μM D600 on the amplitude and time course of isometric contractures was studied in single slow fibres ofRana temporaria. (2) D600 only slightly reduced the amplitude of contractures evoked with 30 or 95 mM K-Ringer's. Maintenance of tension was strongly impaired by D600 only during exposure to 95 mM K. The caffeine contracture was not affected. (3) Addition of 10 mM Ca2+ or other divalent cations to the medium strongly counteracted the effect of D600 on maintained tension. The order of efficiency was Ca2+=Ni2+〉Co2+〉Mn2+〉Mg2+. (4) During 2 min exposure to 95 mM K-Ringer's the slow fibres inactivated to a variable degree; recovery from inactivation in normal Ringer's proceeded with a half time of the order of 1 min, while in the presence of D600 recovery was prolonged 3.3 to 27 times. (5) It is concluded that the effect of D600 on the contractile behaviour of slow fibres fromRana temporaria is predominantly due to a prolongation of the inactivated state. It is suggested that D600 binds to a site at the outer membrane surface which also binds divalent cations and determines the degree of contractile inactivation during exposure to potassium. Blocking of Ca2+ channels is unlikely to be the mechanism of this D600-effect.

    Notes: Summary Single, slow muscle fibers fromRana temporaria were equilibrated in normal Ringer's. 95 mmol/liter K1-solution containing various concentrations of Ca2+, Ni2+, Mn2 or Mg2+ was applied, and the ensuing contractures were recorded isometrically. While peak tension (F max) was little affected, maintained tension (measured 1 min after onset of contracture) strongly depended on the concentration and species of divalent cations. Tension was maintained at its peak value in the presence of all species of divalent cations provided their concentrations were adequately increased. Dose-response curves were hyperbolic: Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed straight lines with different slopes intersecting near 1/F max, and indicating the following order of efficiency: Ni2+〉Ca2+〉Mn2+〉〉Mg2+. Hill plots for these cations resulted in straight lines with slopes near 1. Qualitatively similar relationships were obtained with contracture solutions containing D6000 (3–12 μmol/liter). However, under these conditions higher concentrations of Ca2+ or Ni2+ were required in order to fully maintain tension. After a step concentration change in the medium during contracture, the effects of Ca2+ or D600 were detectable only after a delay of 9 and 18 sec, respectively. It is concluded that divalent cations and D600 compete for the same binding site according to a 1:1 reaction. This site is presumably located inside the transverse tubular system and controls inactivation of the contractile force.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir beschreiben den Krankheitsverlauf einer 36-jährigen Frau mit unbehandelter Aortenisthmusstenose und offenem Ductus Botalli, die aufgrund einer ausgeprägten linksventrikulären Dysfunktion eine therapierefraktäre Herzinsuffizienz entwickelte. Nach operativer Korrektur der Aortenisthmusstenose und Ductusresektion normalisierte sich die linksventrikuläre Pumpfunktion, sodass davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass auch schwere linksventrikuläre Dysfunktionen auf dem Boden langjähriger Druck- und Volumenbelastung durch angeborene Herzfehler nach operativer Korrektur reversibel sein können.
    Notes: Summary We report on the history of a 36-year-old woman with untreated coarctation of the aorta and patent ductus arteriosus who developed refractory heart failure due to severely impaired left ventricular function. After coarctation repair and duct resection, left ventricular function improved to normal. Even in the presence of longstanding left ventricular pressure and volume overload, subsequent severe myocardial failure may be reversible by surgical repair.

    Notes: Abstract A detailed level scheme for179Hf has been constructed on the basis of extensive (n, γ), (d, p) and (d, t) data. The low lying levels are grouped into 15 rotational bands of which 14 are classified by Nilsson quantum numbers or vibrational configurations. One of the most interesting results concerns a dominant transition matrix element which connects an octupole vibration built on the 1/2[510] Nilsson orbit with a quadrupole vibration built on the 9/2+ [624] Nilsson ground state. A simple interpretation of this unusual decay mode is offered in terms of microscopic wave functions for the vibrational states. This interpretation leads to reasonable estimates forE1 hindrance factors from the octupole vibration to lower lying quasi-particle levels.
