    Notes: Abstract Thirty-two patients with 30 disc herniations and 5 bony stenoses were investigated together with 5 control subjects, using plain and contrast-enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging. Compared with the control group, additional non-enhancing epidural tissue was found in all patients. The enhancing epidural structures demostrated characteristics change. Compared with plain images, disease definition was improved in 7 of 35 cases after contrast administration. This was especially true for lateral and intraforaminal disc herniations, whereas no diagnostic benefit was seen in cases of posterior and posterolateral herniations or bony changes.

    Notes: Abstract We report a case of symptomatic epidural lipomatosis in a 36-year-old man following a heart lung transplant and 3.5 years of steroid medication. A review of the pertinent literature emphasises the importance of including this diagnosis in the differential diagnosis of patients receiving steroid medication or markedly obese patients with back pain or symptoms suggesting spinal cord or cauda equina compression.

    Notes: Summary A multisclice gradient echo sequence (FLASH) was compared with a conventional spin-echo (SE) technique with regard to its value for contrast enhanced brain studies. In 50 patients with contrast enhancing intracranial lesions, MR studies (0.5 Tesla MR tomograph) were performed with SE images (SE 400/30; four images/3.4 min) and FLASH scans (FLASH 315/14, 90°; 15 images/1.4 min) before and after Gd-DTPA. Based on visual and quantitative assessment diagnostic results of postcontrast SE- and FLASH images were equivalent with respect to contrast enhancement, lesion/brain-contrast, lesion/edema-contrast, and lesion delineation. Although image quality generally was excellent on postcontrast FLASH images, susceptibility artifacts were more severe on FLASH scans than on SE images. However, with the exception of postoperative patients with artifacts due to metal remains, diagnostic information was not decreased by artifacts on postcontrast FLASH images. In conclusion, because of the clearly higher efficiency of the multisclice FLASH technique, this pulse sequence offers the opportunity to speed up contrast enhanced brain imaging.

    Notes: Abstract We report a case of decompression illness in which the patient developed paraparesis during scuba diving after rapid ascent. MRI of the spine revealed a focal intramedullary lesion consistent with the symptoms. The pathophysiological and radiological aspects of spinal decompression illness are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract We report hemimegalencephaly in a 44-year-old woman with mental retardation, epilepsy and a mild hemiparesis. In addition to typical findings on MRI, 2-deoxy-2[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (PET) demonstrated glucose hypometabolism of the affected hemisphere. The results of PET have been coregistered with morphological information from the MRI studies by image fusion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zwecks überprüfung, inwieweit die Kernspintomographie, die mit gutem Erfolg bereits in der präoperativen Diagnostik eingesetzt wird, eine sinnvolle Bereicherung des diagnostischen Instrumentariums bei der postoperativen Kontrolle thorakaler Aortenerkrankungen darstellt, haben wir zwischen dem 1. 4. 1986 und 30. 3. 1988 30 Patienten (20 männlich, 10 weiblich, mittleres Alter 53 Jahre ± 13,7 Jahre) nach Operation an der thorakalen Aorta kernspintomographisch untersucht. Es lagen 19 arteriosklerotische Aneurysmen, 10 Dissektionen sowie ein Tumor der , Aorta descendens vor. In allen 30 Patienten gelang es, kernspintomographisch postoperativ die Ergebnisse der chirurgischen Maßnahmen zu dokumentieren. Es konnten im frühen postoperativen Stadium Komplikationen ausgeschlossen bzw., wie in einem Fall eine retrograde Aortendissektion oder einem anderen ein Hämatoperikard nachgewiesen werden. In der postoperativen Verlaufskontrolle aortaler Dissektionen ließ sich eine aneurysmatische Dilatation der dissezierten Aorta distal der implantierten Prothese in allen Fällen darstellen. Wahres und falsches Lumen konnten differenziert werden. In einem Fall ließ sich die Ausbildung eines Aortenbulbusaneurysmas nachweisen. Zusammengefaßt lassen sich postoperative Komplikationen der thorakalen Aortenchirurgie mit der Kernspintomographie zuverlässig nachweisen und bildlich in 3 Ebenen darstellen. Nichtinvasibilität, das Fehlen einer ionisierenden Strahlung und das ausbleibende Risiko einer Kontrastmittelapplikation machten die Kernspintomographie zu einer idealen Methode für Folgeuntersuchungen nach Operation an der thorakalen Aorta.
    Notes: Summary Operations of the thoracic aorta for aneurysms, dissections, or congenital malformations may lead to early or late complications. Therefore, postoperative control for documentation of the surgical results, for exclusion of early changes and for comparison with later controls is mandatory. To demonstrate that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which we already had used with good results for preoperative studies is also able to detect postoperative abnormalities, we examined 30 patients with thoracic aortic disease (20 male, 10 female, mean age 53 ± 13.7 years) with this diagnostic tool. There were 19 arteriosclerotic aneurysms, 10 dissections, and one aortic tumor. With MRI it was possible in all patients to visualize the results of the surgical treatment postoperatively. Early postoperative complications could be excluded, or demonstrated in one case of a retrograde aortic dissection or a hematopericardium. These pathological findings could also be shown by arterial digital subtraction angiography or echocardiography. Using MRI for follow-up of aortic dissections, the development of an aneurysm of the aortic root in a Marfan-patient could be detected. In all these patients, it was possible to differentiate true and false lumen and to detect the origin of major side branches. The diagnostic advantages of MRI, which we compared with other imaging methods, as echocardiography, computed tomography or angiography are that postoperative complications of thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery can be reliably detected and visualized in 3 different planes. Non-invasiveness, the omission of ionizing radiation and no risk of contrast media application underline that magnetical resonance imaging is an ideal method for follow-up after operation of the thoracic aorta.

    Notes: Recent evidence suggests that poly(ADP-ribose) may take part in DNA strand break signalling due to its ability to interact with and affect the function of specific target proteins. Using a poly(ADP-ribose) blot assay, we have found that several nuclear matrix proteins from human and murine cells bind ADP-ribose polymers with high affinity. The binding was observed regardless of the procedure used to isolate nuclear matrices, and it proved resistant to high salt concentrations. In murine lymphoma LY-cell cultures, the spontaneous appearance of radiosensitive LY-S sublines was associated with a loss of poly(ADP-ribose)-binding of several nuclear matrix proteins. Because of the importance of the nuclear matrix in DNA processing reactions, the targeting of matrix proteins could be an important aspect of DNA damage signalling via the poly ADP-ribosylation system.
