    Notes: The influence of the epithelial mucin MUC1 on T cell-mediated lysis was analysed using lymph node lymphocytes (LNL) from patients with colorectal carcinoma. LNL were stimulated with allogeneic, MUC1-transfected B cells and the bulk cultures were cloned. Alloreactive cytotoxic T cell clones were obtained which preferentially lysed MUC1-expressing targets. The majority was CD4+ and MHC-class II-restricted, and a minor group was CD8+ and MHC-class I-restricted. All the clones expressed CD3 and TCRαβ, and were CD56−. The capacity to preferentially kill MUC1-expressing targets was stable in several clones for up to 6 months in culture. The enhancing effect of MUC1 on the lysis was investigated in more detail. It was only seen after inhibition of O-linked glycosylation in the targets. Furthermore, this effect was completely abrogated by the monoclonal antibody 3C9, directed against the Thomsen–Friedenreich antigen (T-antigen, Galβ1–3GalNAc bound α1–3 to Ser/Thr) as well as by the soluble disaccharide Galβ1–3GalNAc, but not by other similar disaccharides. The authors conclude that in their system the preferential killing of MUC1-expressing targets is due to the recognition of an internal carbohydrate epitope accessible on underglycosylated MUC1, possibly T-antigen, by an auxiliary receptor molecule on T cells.

    Notes: Abstract. With approximately 150 reported cases, fistulas between the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava are rare. Preoperative clinical diagnosis of aortocaval fistula is difficult because the classical triad of abdominal pain, pulsatile abdominal mass, and abdominal machinery-like bruit may be absent in up to 50 % of patients. We report a case of aortocaval fistula complicating abdominal aortic aneurysm which was diagnosed preoperatively using breath-hold gadolinium-enhanced three-dimensional MR angiography.

    Notes: Abstract The potential contribution of fucosyltransferases to the overexpression of sialyl-Lex antigen was investigated in the colon carcinoma cell line HT-29 and in human colon carcinoma tissue. In HT-29 cells as well as in normal or malignant colonic tissues Fuc-TIII, Fuc-TIV, Fuc-TVI but not Fuc-TV nor Fuc-TVII were detectable after RT-PCR. Sodium butyrate treatment of HT-29 cells increased (to about 200%) and DMSO treatment decreased (to about 20%) the expression of sialyl-Lex. This modulation of sialyl-Lex was concomitant with the analogous increase/decrease of mRNA of Fuc-TIII but not Fuc-TIV. Fuc-TVI was not detectable by Northern blotting in HT-29 cells. In six human colon carcinomas which exhibited strong overexpression of sialyl-Lex, the expression of Fuc-TIII-mRNA was the same or lower than in the corresponding normal colonic tissue. Thus Fuc-TIII expression may be affecting the expression of the sialyl-Lex moiety in HT-29 cells but not in human colon carcinoma tissue.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Prokalzitonin (PCT) ist ein Protein, welches bei systemischen Infektionen mit Bakterien, Pilzen und Protozoen in erhöhter Konzentration im Blut nachgewiesen werden kann. Bei operativen Traumen steigt PCT im Gegensatz zu den klassischen Akute-Phase-Proteinen, wie C-reaktivem Protein oder Interleukin-6, nicht oder nur marginal an. Somit ist es möglich, mit Hilfe eines Laborparameters systemische Infektionen postoperativ zu erkennen. In dieser Arbeit werden aus heutiger Sicht die vermuteten Induktionsmechanismen der PCT-Synthese durch Zytokine und bakterielle Endotoxine dargestellt. Außerdem werden klinische Anwendungen der PCT-Messung mit Beispielen aus der Abdominal- und Transplantationschirurgie vorgestellt. In eigenen Untersuchungen konnten wir am Aufnahmetag bei 8 Patienten mit nekrotisierender Pankreatitis einen PCT-Mittelwert von 6,9 ng/ml messen. Weitere 7 Patienten mit ödematöser Pankreatitis wiesen einen PCT-Mittelwert von nur 0,67 ng/ml auf. Trotz des deutlichen Unterschieds in den Mittelwerten konnte keine statistisch signifikante Differenz zwischen Normalwerten und nekrotisierender Pankreatitis einerseits oder Normwerten und ödematöser Pankreatitis andererseits festgestellt werden. Die Ursache hierfür lag in der großen Streubreite der PCT-Werte in der Gruppe mit nekrotisierender Pankreatitis (0,33 – 32,9 ng/ml). Diese große Variation der Werte ist möglicherweise dadurch bedingt, daß nur ein Teil der Patienten schon frühzeitig eine bakterielle Superinfektion der Nekrose mit konsekutiver PCT-Erhöhung aufwies. Wir vermuten, daß eine Unterscheidung zwischen superinfizierter nekrotisierender Pankreatitis einerseits und nekrotisierender steriler Pankreatitis bzw. ödematöser Pankreatitis andererseits mittels PCT-Messungen möglich ist, jedoch sind größere Studien mit einer mikrobiologischen Untersuchung des nekrotischen Materials und Blutkulturen notwendig, um den endgültigen Stellenwert der PCT-Bestimmung im klinischen Alltag, besonders in der Prognoseabschätzung der akuten Pankreatitis, unter Beweis zu stellen.
    Notes: Abstract Procalcitonin is a protein which is found in elevated concentrations in the blood circulation during systemic bacterial, fungal or protozoal infection. In contrast to classical acute-phase proteins like C-reactive protein or interleukin-6, it is not elevated after operative trauma. In this paper we present current opinions on the assumed induction mechanisms of the protein by cytokines and endotoxin. Furthermore, the clinical value for early detection of systemic infections in abdominal and transplantation surgery is demonstrated by examples from the literature. Our investigation shows that eight patients with necrotizing pancreatitis had a PCT mean value of 6.9 ng/ml on the day of admission. Seven patients with edematous pancreatitis had only a PCT mean value of 0.69 ng/ml. Despite these differences in the mean values, a significant difference between the normal value and the mean value of the group with necrotizing pancreatitis or edematous pancreatitis was not observed due to the wide range of PCT levels in the group of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. The fact that only a few of the patients had a superinfected necrosis with systemic evasion of bacterias or their toxins may be the reason for this wide range. We suggest that a discrimination between superinfected necrotizing or sterile pancreatitis and edematous pancreatitis by PCT could be possible but more extensive studies with microbiological examination of the necrotic material are required to recognize the subgroups and to establish the real diagnostic efficiency of PCT in clinical practice, especially in the prediction of the outcome of acute pancreatitis.
