    Notes: Summary In an attempt to relate karyotype evolution to clinical and hematological data serial chromosomal analyses were performed in 31 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), both in chronic and acute phases. Our results in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive CML are in line with karyotype profiles described in the literature. In addition, we report on chromosomal findings in 4 cases of Ph1-negative disease, one presenting with an iso17q chromosome in the acute phase, an aberration otherwise typical for acute transformation in Ph1-positive CML. The same chromosomal abnormality was observed in a small population of Ph1-negative cells present in one of two patients with mixed Ph1-positive/Ph1-negative CML. The first case of a female patient with the loss of a sex chromosome in Ph1-positive cells is reported. Two patients with unusually long and mild chronic phases despite the presence of trisomy 8 in their karyotypes are described. Our findings suggest that the order of appearance of additional chromosomal changes of CML is of prognostic significance for the progression and the clinical picture of the disease.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Langzeiterfahrungen mit Bromocriptin beim fortgeschrittenen Parkinsonsyndrom. Ergebnisse einer 1-Jahres-Behandlung. An 32 Patienten (20 Männer, 12 Frauen) im Alter von 43–76 Jahren (mittl. Alter 65,4 J.), die seit 3–20 Jahren (mittl. Dauer 9,3 J.) an einem Morbus Parkinson litten, wurden die Langzeiteffekte von Bromocriptin als Adjuvans untersucht. Die Patienten waren seit 24–116 Monaten (mittl. Dauer 74,9 Mon.) mit L-Dopa/Decarboxylasehemmer vorbehandelt. Die Bromocriptinbehandlung wurde eingeleitet wegen eines Nachlassens der L-Dopa-Wirkung, verschiedener Erscheinungen des „on-off“-Phänomens und ausgeprägter Dyskinesien. L-Dopa konnte im Mittel um 18% reduziert werden, Bromocriptin wurde in einer mittleren Dosis von 29 mg gegeben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Besserung der neurologischen Symptomatik, gekennzeichnet durch ein besseres Ansprechen von Tremor und Rigidität als der Bradykinese der Hände, über einen Zeitraum von 12 Monaten konstant gehalten werden konnte. Lediglich die Gangstörungen neigten zu einer erneuten Verschlechterung. Gleichzeitig wies die Selbsteinschätzung der Patienten hinsichtlich der Behinderung in den Aktivitäten des täglichen Lebens eine Verschlechterung im Vergleich zu dem nach 4 Wochen erzielten Behandlungsergebnis aus. Ebenso waren die “on-off”-Erscheinungen wieder stärker ausgeprägt. Die Akinesia paradoxica ließ sich nicht positiv beeinflussen. Eine Zunahme von Dyskinesien konnte vermieden, ernsthafte Nebenwirkungen anderer Art unter Kontrolle gehalten werden.
    Notes: Summary The long-term effects of bromocriptine as an adjuvant were investigated in 32 patients (20 male, 12 female), aged 43–76 years (mean 65.4), suffering from parkinsonism for 3–20 years (mean 9.3). Patients were pretreated with levodopa/decarboxylase inhibitor for 24–116 months (mean 74.9). Bromocriptine was given because of a decline in the response to levodopa, various kinds of “on-off” phenomena, and disabling dyskinesias. Levodopa was reduced by 18%, while bromocriptine was added with a mean dose of 29 mg. The results showed a marked tremor and rigidity response, clearly greater than that of bradykinesia of the hands. The improvement after 4 weeks of bromocriptine treatment was maintained over 12 months. Only gait disturbances tended to increase. At the same time the self-ratings of the patients showed an increase in disability as far as daily activities were concerned. Likewise, the “on-off” symptoms with regard to the wearing-off effects worsened in comparison with the condition during the 4-week period. Akinesia paradoxica was never definitely influenced. An increase in dyskinesias was avoided and serious side-effects could be kept under control.
