    Notes: Summary Chromosome analyses of bone marrow and peripheral blood cells were performed in a total of 51 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) simultaneously with histopathological examination of resinembedded bone marrow biopsies. Diagnosis of MDS was established by histopathology according to the French-American-British (FAB) classification, and reassessed by haematological data and clinical course. Clonal karyotypic changes were found in 30 of the 51 patients (59%): in 15 of 19 (79%) patients with refractory anaemia, 7 of 11 (64%) with refractory anaemia and excess of blasts (RAEB), 6 of 10 (60%) with RAEB in transformation, and 2 of 11 (18%) with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia. The following three features of the histopathology revealed positive correlations with karyotype abnormalities: all cases of myelofibrosis in MDS (7/51) were accompanied by chromosome aberrations, microforms of megakaryocytes with reduced nuclear lobulation were observed in 18 of 30 cases with karyotype changes, and hypocellularity of haematopoiesis was associated with aberrations of chromosome 7 in 2 of 4 cases. No positive correlations were revealed between abnormal karyotypes and the transformation to acute leukaemia. The survival times were significantly decreased in patients with complex (3 and more) karyotype changes, when compared with patients with single (1–2) chromosome aberrations or normal karyotype, independently of the FAB classification.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The value of cytogenetics performed simultaneously with histopathology was evaluated in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Clonal karyotype changes of the bone marrow cells supporting the histological diagnosis were found in 38/69 cases (55 %). The chromosome aberrations, especially complex changes, were significantly correlated to distinct histopathological findings such as atypias of the haematopoietic cell lines and myelosclerosis. Complex karyotype changes were further associated with short survival of the MDS patients. Our results demonstrate that cytogenetic analyses are helpful in supplementing the histopathological diagnoses. Recent developments in molecular cytogenetics even allow the detection of chromosomal aberrations in non-dividing cells from cytological preparations or tissue sections which may become available for routine diagnosis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Bedeutung simultaner zytogenetischer und histologischer Untersuchungen wurde bei Patienten mit myelodysplastischem Syndrom (MDS) überprüft. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß klonale Karyotypveränderungen der Knochenmarkzellen bei 38 der 69 (55 %) analysierten Patienten auftraten und damit häufig eine Absicherung der histologischen Diagnose erlaubten. Die Chromosomenanomalien, insbesondere komplexe Karyotypveränderungen, korrelierten signifikant mit einer Reihe histopathologischer Befunde, darunter Atypien der einzelnen hämatologischen Zellreihen und Myelosklerose. Durch den Nachweis komplexer Karyotypveränderungen war eine unabhängige prognostische Aussage möglich. Damit zeigen unsere Ergebnisse am Beispiel des MDS, daß zytogenetische Analysen eine sinnvolle Ergänzung der histologischen Untersuchung sein können. Darüber hinaus ist durch den Einsatz der molekularen Zytogenetik die Bestimmung von Chromosomenanomalien in zytologischen Ausstrichpräparaten oder Gewebeschnitten möglich, wodurch sich solche Befunde auch für die tägliche Diagnostik verwenden lassen.

    Notes: Abstract Using a three-step purification procedure, two protein fractions which catalyzed the ATP-dependent in-activation of nitrate reductase (NR) were obtained from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf extracts. Purification involved ammonium-sulfate fractionation, anion-exchange chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography. The capacity of the fractions to inactivate NR by preincubation with ATP was examined by using as target either a crude NR-ammonium sulfate precipitate or partially purified NR (ppNR). The fractions were also examined for protein-kinase activity by measuring the phosphorylation of histone III S (or casein) with γ-[32P]ATP as substrate, and subsequent SDS-PAGE, autoradiography and liquid scintillation counting of cut-off histone bands. The two proteins had apparent molecular weights in the 67-kDa and 100-kDa region (termed P67 and P100, respectively). Neither P67 nor P100 alone was able to inactivate ppNR by preincubation with ATP. However, when P100 and P67 were added together to ppNR, ATP-dependent inactivation was observed, with a half-time of about 10 min. The P67, but not P100 had histone-kinase activity (casein was not phosphorylated). Using the partially purified system, various compounds were examined as possible effectors of NR inactivation. Sugar phosphates had little effect on the inactivation of NR. Addition of AMP at very high concentrations (5 mM), and removal of Mg2+ by excess EDTA also prevented the inactivation.
