    Notes: Abstract. This is a report of clinical, CT and MRI findings in a patient with toxic spongiform leucoencephalopathy after heroin ingestion. The disease is observed in drug addicts who inhale pre-heated heroin. The clinical onset, which usually occurs some days or even longer after the last heroin consumption, is characterized by a cerebellar syndrome. The cerebellar hemispheres, the cerebellar and cerebral peduncles and the pyramidal tract may be affected. Spongiform demyelination is the morphological substrate of the lesions, which are not contrast enhancing, hypodense on CT and hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI. The frequently perfect symmetry of the affection of functional systems points to a toxic and/or metabolic pathophysiological mechanism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The diagnostic procedure in viral encephalitis is based on the synopsis of clinical signs and symptoms, serological data, CSF analysis and diagnostic imaging findings. This article summarizes the findings of those viral encephalitides most frequently encountered in Western Europe. MRI is more sensitive than CT for the detection of inflammatory brain lesions due to the higher contrast resolution. The pattern of parenchymal damage is highly specific in only some viral encephalitides (e. g., the frequently hemorrhagic lesions of structures of the limbic system in herpes simplex virus type I encephalitis; the symmetric and confluent lesions of the frontal white matter of progressive diffuse leukoencephalopathy in AIDS). In the majority of viral encephalitides MRI demonstrates the location and extension of parenchymal damage. The specific diagnosis in terms of the causative agent is based on serological studies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Diagnostik viraler Enzephalitiden basiert auf der synoptischen Auswertung klinischer, serologischer, liquoranalytischer und bildgebend erhobener Befunde. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die entsprechenden Befunde der häufigsten in Westeuropa viral verursachten Enzephalitiden dargestellt. Generell ist bei entzündlichen Läsionen des Hirnparenchyms die Kernspintomographie (MRT) aufgrund ihrer hohen Weichteilkontrastauflösung der Computertomographie (CT) hinsichtlich der Nachweissensitivität überlegen. Bei einigen viralen Enzephalitiden ist das kernspintomographisch erfassbare Schädigungsmuster hochspezifisch. Die gilt z. B. für die häufig hämorrhagischen Läsionen der Strukturen des limbischen Systems bei der Herpes-simplex-Virus-Typ-1-Enzephalitis und für die flächenhaft symmetrischen Marklagerläsionen bei der progressiven diffusen Leukenzephalopathie bei AIDS-Patienten. Bei der Mehrzahl der viralen Enzephalitiden weist die MRT zwar die Lokalisation und Ausdehnung der Parenchymschädigung nach, erlaubt jedoch keine sichere Zuordnung zu einem Erreger.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In 137 patients with different kinds of cancer and different cancer stage, cell-mediated immunity was investigated by DNCB (dinitrochlorobenzene) and tuberculin test. These two skin tests were performed before and after cytostatic drug combination therapy. For a collective of cancer patients we found a positive correlation between skin reactions and prognosis and a negative correlation between skin reactions and cancer stage. After cytostatic drug therapy skin reactions could be significantly stronger. This could be observed in 50% when one test was positive before chemotherapy and in only 20% when both tests were negative before chemotherapy. There existed a significant correlation between an increased reaction after cytostatic drug therapy and objective tumor regression. When skin reactions decreased, tumor progression was seen in all cases. Due to these observations we use skin reactions as a good parameter for therapy results. When delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity impairs 2–3 weeks after chemotherapy, we then change the cytostatic drug combination immediately. We cannot say at this moment, whether an improvement of cytostatic drug therapy can be reached in this way.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 137 Patienten mit unterschiedlichen soliden Karzinomen und verschiedenem Tumorstadium wurde die zelluläre Immunität durch Tuberkulin- und DNCB-(Dinitrochlorbenzol)-Test untersucht. Die Tests wurden vor und nach zytostatischer Stoßtherapie durchgeführt. Insgesamt fanden wir eine positive Korrelation zwischen Hauttests und Prognose und eine negative Korrelation zwischen Hauttests und Tumorstadium. Wenn mindestens ein Test vor Chemotherapie positiv war, konnten wir in ca. 50% eine Verbesserung der zellulären Immunität registrieren, dagegen nur in 20%, wenn beide Tests vor zytostatischer Therapie negativ waren. Ein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen verbesserter Reaktion auf Tuberkulin und/oder DNCB nach zytostatischer Therapie und objektiver Tumorrückbildung wurde beobachtet. Wenn beide Reaktionen schwächer wurden, folgteimmer eine Tumorprogression. Aufgrund dieser Beobachtungen verwenden wir die Hauttests als wertvollen Parameter für den Therapieerfolg. Wir wechseln daher sofort die Zytostatikakombination, wenn 2–3 Wochen nach Chemotherapie die Hautreaktionen schwächer werden. Ob hierdurch eine Verbesserung der Zytostatikatherapie möglich ist, kann derzeit noch nicht sicher gesagt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The hematogenous spread of bacteria, fungi and protozoa may also reach the brain vessels, which happens mostly through septic emboli. From such an embolus a metastatic focal encephalitis and later a septic-embolic brain abscess may arise. The most frequently underlying infections that may cause septic emboli are bacterial endocarditis as well as bacterial infections of artificial heart valve prostheses. Congenital heart malformations with a right-to-left shunt also play here a certain role. Basically, however, all septic conditions and bacteriemias may cause septic-embolic brain abscesses. They occur frequently as multiple lesions. MRI is superior to CT in depicting the different stages of evolution from focal encephalitis, through the hardly encapsulated early abscess, to the formation of a membrane and later a dense fibrous capsule. The medical treatment of a brain abscess requires properly performed CT or MRI follow-up examinations in order to realize early enough a possible growing of such a lesion.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die hämatogene Ausbreitung von Bakterien, Pilzen oder Protozoen bis in die Hirngefäße erfolgt meist durch eine septische Embolie. Es entstehen eine metastatische Herdenzephalitis und im weiteren Verlauf daraus ein septisch-embolischer Hirnabszess. Die häufigste Grunderkrankung die zu septischen Embolien führt ist die bakterielle Endokarditis sowie die bakterielle Infektion von Herzklappenprothesen. Eine besondere Bedeutung kommt hier den angeborenen kardialen Fehlbildungen mit Rechts-Links-Shunt zu. Grundsätzlich können jedoch alle Bakteriämien zu septisch-embolischen Hirnabszessen führen. Septisch-embolische Hirnabszesse treten aufgrund ihres Entstehungsmechanismus häufig multipel auf. Die CT und besser noch die MRT erlauben die Darstellung aller Entwicklungsstadien von der Herdenzephalitis über den kaum abgegrenzten Abszess, die Membranbildung bis zur Entstehung einer dicken, die eitergefüllte Höhle allseits umgebenden Abszesskapsel. Die medikamentöse Therapie von Hirnabszessen erfordert Verlaufsuntersuchungen, um einer eventuellen Größenzunahme der Läsion(en) frühzeitig durch Umstellung der antibiotischen Medikation oder durch operative Abszessentfernung zu begegnen.

    Notes: Abstract We have measured the ratio of cross sections σ(KL 2,3)/σ(K) for neon for electron impact in the energy range ofE 0=1.5 ... 50 keV via the intensity ofKL 2,3−LLL 2,3 Auger satellite lines relative to the intensity ofKL 1 L 2,3 (3 P) diagram line. The experimental ratio decreases over the full range of energyE 0 which is contrary to an earlier result by Carlson et al. We have also measured the alignment ofKL 2,3 1 P and3 P states via the angular distribution of Auger satellite intensity for the energy rangeE 0=1.5 ... 4 keV, within experimental error we have found a zero alignment. The totalK Auger spectrum, measured forE 0=40 keV and at the magic angle of emission ϑ=54.7°, has been decomposed into its components by using appropriate line shapes distorted by postcollision interaction. Finally, we discussed whether the lines observed at the high-energy side ofKL 2,3−LLL 2,3 Auger satellite lines can be interpreted as structures caused by an angular momentum exchange in the postcollision interaction predicted by Niehaus and Zwakhals.

    Notes: Abstract From intensity of Auger transitions (1s2p)−1 1 P,3 P→2p −3 2 P,2 D+e A − relative to 1s −1 2 S→2p −2 1 D+e A − measured at ϑ=54 and 90° relative to the primary electron beam we have determined the alignment of double vacancy states (1s 2p)−1 1 P and3 P of neon for electron impact ionization for the impact energies 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 4.0 keV. ForE 0=1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 keV the alignment is compatible with zero with an upper limit of , forE 0=4.0 keV a small negative value was found.

    Notes: The response of thymic lymphocytes of the pig to phytohemagglutinin was studied with H3 thymidine in cultures, from 0-72 hours. At the beginning of the culture period 6-18% of lymphocytes were in DNA synthesis. during the first 24 hours a sharp decrease in the number of DNA synthesizing cells was observed in both pha and control cultures, although pha cultures consistently showed small but significantly greater numbers of DNA synthesizing cells. this was followed by a definite peak in DNA synthesis and mitotic response of a minority of the cells in pha cultures between 48-54 hours, whereas in control cultures activity ceased. in addition, a small proportion of the progeny of initially DNA synthesizing medium sized lymphocytes was apparently stimulated by pha and found in mitosis by 48 hours.It was concluded that the thymus contains a fraction of lymphocytes, not in the mitotic cycle, which are capable of being transformed by pha to mitotic activity. the data also suggests some stimulation of cells already in the mitotic cycle.

    Notes: Pig thymus tissue was cultured with organ culture techniques in the presence and absence of phytohemagglutinin in the culture medium. Morphologic and autoradiographic observations indicate that in the pig, lymphocytes capable of responding to phytohemagglutinin are located predominantly in the medulla of the thymus.
