    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Fallbericht einer 33jährigen Frau mit einem ausgeprägtem Marfan-Syndrom wird vorgestellt. Sie hatte typische ossäre, okuläre, kardiovaskuläre und auch pulmonale Veränderungen, auf deren Bedeutung näher eingegangen wird. Wegen einer schweren Aorteninsuffizienz bei einem Aneurysma der Aorta ascendens und einer beträchtlichen Mitralinsuffizienz wurde ein Doppelklappenersatz durchgeführt und eine Prothese der Aorta ascendens eingesetzt. Die Prognose, die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Möglichkeiten der lebensbedrohlichen kardiovaskulären Komplikationen bei Marfan-Syndrom werden diskutiert. Das bei der Operation gewonnene Aortengewebe wurde histologisch und biochemisch analysiert. Histologisch zeigte sich eine typische Medianekrose. Biochemisch (Fibroblastenkultur, Elektronenmikroskopie) fand sich eine veränderte Zusammensetzung der kollagenen Anteile. Sowohl in der Adventitia wie in der Media war Kollagen Typ I nahezu völlig zugunsten von Kollagen Typ III verschwunden. Diese Verschiebung galt in gleicher Weise für die Prokollagene. In der Haut der Patientin fand sich jedoch eine normale Verteilung von Prokollagen und Kollagen der Typen I und III. Die weitgehende Reduktion von Kollagen Typ I stellt möglicherweise die Ursache der Wandschwächung der Aorta dar, die die Ursache der Aneurysmabildung und der Aorteninsuffizienz ist.
    Notes: Summary The case report on a 33 year old woman with prominent features of Marfan's syndrome is presented. Characteristic signs were seen in the bones, the eyes, the cardiovascular system, and the lungs. Due to regurgitation of both the aortic and mitral valves and an aneurysm of the ascending aorta a double valve replacement was made, including a prothesis of the aorta. The problems of early diagnosis and therapy of the life-threatening cardiovascular complications are discussed. Tissue specimens from the aorta were analysed histochemically and biochemically. Histology showed a typical necrosis of the media with cyst formation. Biochemical analysis by in vitro labeling of collagen in tissue explants and by electon microscopical evaluation showed proportions of type I and type III collagen which were significantly different from controls. In both the media and the adventitia the amount of type I collagen was drastically reduced as shown by quantitation of collagen and procollagen. Fibroblasts derived from the skin of the patient showed a normal content of type I and type III collagen. It is conceivable that the reduced content of type I collagen in the aortic wall is responsible for the weakness of the vessel wall causing formation of aneurysm and its sequelae.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Hautfibroblasten wurden von 13 Patienten mit Osteogenesis imperfecta gezüchtet und deren Kollagensynthese in vitro untersucht. Dabei fand sich bei 7 Patienten, die durch nur milde Manifestation der Erkrankung charakterisiert waren, eine Störung des Verhältnisses der Kollagentypen I und III. Fibroblasten von solchen Patienten mit einer schweren Form der Osteogenesis imperfecta synthetisierten die Kollagentypen I und III in einem normalen Verhältnis.
    Notes: Summary Skin fibroblasts were cultured from 13 patients with Osteogenesis imperfecta and collagen biosynthesis was investigated in vitro. In those patients characterised by only mild manifestations of the disease, the ratio of collagen types I and III was disturbed. By contrast, fibroblasts obtained from patients with Osteogenesis imperfecta of a more severe type synthesised collagen types I/III in a normal ratio.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über eine konstitutionelle Bindegewebserkrankung bei dem 10 Jahre alten Sohn blutsverwandter Eltern berichtet. Das klinische und röntgenologische Befundmuster unterscheidet sich von bisher bekannten Syndromen, insbesondere der Osteogenesis imperfecta und dem Marfan-Syndrom, mit denen gewisse Ähnlichkeiten bestehen. In Fibroblastenkulturen aus Hautbiopsien wurde die Kollagenbiosynthese untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, daß die Fibroblasten unterschiedliche Typen von α1-Ketten synthetisieren, während α2-Ketten weder im Kulturmedium noch in Zellextrakten nachgewiesen werden konnten. Es wird vermutet, daß die Störung der Kollagenbiosynthese mit den klinischen und röntgenologischen Befunden der Erkrankung in Verbindung steht.
    Notes: Summary An apparently “new” connective tissue disorder is described in the 10 year old son of consanguineous parents. The patient showed clinical and radiographic abnormalities reminiscent of both osteogenesis imperfecta and Marfan syndrome. Collagen biosynthesis was analysed in fibroblast cultures from skin biopsies. Fibroblasts of the patient synthesized different types ofα1 chains. No α2 chains could be detected in cell extracts or in culture media suggesting a defect in the synthesis of these compounds. The peculiar pattern of clinical abnormalities may be causally related to the apparent defect in collagen synthesis.

    Notes: Summary In 6 healthy volunteers, intravenous infusions of nitroglycerin 4.8 and 10.6 µg/min yielded mean steady-state plasma concentrations of 0.5±0.02 and 0.82±0.04 ng/ml as determined by a gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric method. The plasma concentrations reached in the same subjects 17 h after application of Nitroderm TTS 5 and 10 with in vivo release rates of 3.7 and 5.7 µg/min were 0.28±0.01 and 0.37±0.01 ng/ml, respectively. Thus, 75% of the quantity of nitroglycerin released by the systems passed into the circulation. The inter-individual and intra-individual variations in plasma concentrations were similar for both modes of administration. The nitroglycerin-induced morphological changes in the fingerpulse wave were clearly dose-dependent, but it seems that this pharmacodynamic parameter is determined less by the plasma concentration than by the nitroglycerin content of the vascular wall.

    Notes: Summary A new transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) for the administration of nitroglycerin (NTG) was tested in human pharmacological studies in 26 healthy volunteers. Plasma concentrations and haemodynamic responses were determined after the application of the system in different dosages. The concentrations of NTG reached in the plasma were uniform and dose-related, i.e. dependent on the drug-release area, and showed only minor inter-individual variation. They remained almost constant as long as the system was in contact with the skin. Renewal of the system caused no appreciable change in the plasma concentration. The haemodynamic effects, like those of all nitrates, were not clearly related to the dose administered, and were not always dependent on the plasma concentration. Upon repeated application, NTG-TTS was well tolerated locally and systemically and led to no alteration in blood chemistry or haematological parameters. The typical nitrate headaches disappeared after a few days. The presence of the system on the skin caused no discomfort or inconvenience.

    Notes: Abstract Relapsing polychondritis is a systemic disease associated with a destruction of cartilage in various parts of the body. Sera from six patients with relapsing polychondritis and one patient with microscopic polyarteritis nodosa as well as from six controls were analyzed by immunoblotting and ELISA. All patients had autoantibodies against native collagens II and IX. The serum from one patient showed a strong reaction with all three collagen chains of the high molecular weight fraction of collagen IX after denaturation; sera from four patients showed autoantibodies against α2 (XI) and sera from three patients showed autoantibodies against the covalently cross-linked γ component of collagen XI. The presence of autoantibodies against collagens II, IX, and XI, which form the major fibrillar scaffold in cartilage and mediate the interaction of collagen fibrils and proteoglycan, suggests that autoantibodies against cartilaginous collagen may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of relapsing polychondritis and microscopic polyarteritis nodosa.

    Notes: Abstract A patient suffering from a severe form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is presented (EDS type VII). The presence of bilateral congenital hip dislocation, generalized joint hypermobility and a soft hyperelastic skin with abnormal scarring suggested a specific collagen type I defect. SDS-PAGE analysis of collagens secreted into the medium of fibroblast cultures showed a retarded migration of more than half of the α2(I) chains. CNBr peptide mapping of the HPLC-purified altered chain localized the mutant locus to the N-terminal region of the protein. cDNA analysis of the corresponding gene COL1A2 revealed, in addition to the expected collagen sequence, a transcript missing the entire exon 6. This exon encodes a major crosslinking site within collagen fibres as well as the N-propeptidase cleavage site. The skipping of exon 6 is caused by a splice site mutation substituting an A for a G at the first nucleotide of intron 6.
