    Notes: In the Orlica-Śnieżnik complex at the NE margin of the Bohemian Massif, high-pressure granulites occur as isolated lenses within partially migmatized orthogneisses. Sm–Nd (different grain-size fractions of garnet, clinopyroxene and/or whole rock) and U–Pb [isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) single grain and sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP)] ages for granulites, collected in the surroundings of Červený Důl (Czech Republic) and at Stary Gierałtów (Poland), constrain the temporal evolution of these rocks during the Variscan orogeny. Most of the new ages cluster at c. 350–340 Ma and are consistent with results previously reported for similar occurrences throughout the Bohemian Massif. This interval is generally interpreted to constrain the time of high-pressure metamorphism. A more complex evolution is recorded for a mafic granulite from Stary Gierałtów and concerns the unknown duration of metamorphism (single, short-lived metamorphic cycle or different episodes that are significantly separated in time?). The central grain parts of zircon from this sample yielded a large spread in apparent 206Pb/238U SHRIMP ages (c. 462–322 Ma) with a distinct cluster at c. 365 Ma. This spread is interpreted to be indicative for variable Pb-loss that affected magmatic protolith zircon during high-grade metamorphism. The initiating mechanism and the time of Pb-loss has yet to be resolved. A connection to high-pressure metamorphism at c. 350–340 Ma is a reasonable explanation, but this relationship is far from straightforward. An alternative interpretation suggests that resetting is related to a high-temperature event (not necessarily in the granulite facies and/or at high pressures) around 370–360 Ma, that has previously gone unnoticed. This study indicates that caution is warranted in interpreting U–Pb zircon data of HT rocks, because isotopic rejuvenation may lead to erroneous conclusions.

    Notes: Abstract Biological markers of inflammation are useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The present study tested, whether serum amyloid A (SAA) could be used as a marker of inflammatory disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In 72 patients with AS, the two valuable surrogate markers of disease activity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and an established clinical activity score (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, BASDAI) were correlated to the serum levels of SAA. It was found that SAA correlates well with ESR, CRP, and BASDAI. Because of its strong correlation, SAA seems to be an additional very useful disease activity marker. When used in diagnosis, and especially in monitoring of inflammation, further studies are required. Another interesting point of view is the described role of plasma SAA as a precursor of Amyloid A (AA) protein in secondary amyloidosis, a known complication in AS. In all probability, high circulating SAA levels are a predisposing indicator of disease activity.

    Notes: Abstract Thirty-two female patients with confirmed ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and 33 women of similar age with pure ileitis terminalis Crohn were examined for genitourinary infection. Urethral syndrome was found in 15 out of 32 patients with AS: 11 of them had urethritis and 4 urethritis associated with vaginitis. Five women of the control group suffered from urethritis. In all cases with genitourinary infection, Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated. By comparing the AS-patients (urogenital infection group and the non-infected group) with regard to other present clinical parameters, it was found, as expected, that the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the 1st hour was significantly higher in the infected group. In addition, the infected patients had a significantly higher incidence of enthesopathy, involvement of the spinal column, and higher C-reactive protein values (CRP ≥ 5 mg/l). A family history of AS was equally present. Other clinical parameters, such as inflammatory involvement of the joints and HLA-B27 correlation, did not differ significantly between infected and non-infected patients.

    Notes: Abstract The glenohumeral joints of 32 patients (aged 60 or above) were examined using ultrasonography. Thirteen patients were suffering from characteristic polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) symptoms. In contrast 19 other patients initially had similar complaints, but were diagnosed as having elderly onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) upon development of typical symptoms. Ultrasound examination revealed glenohumeral joint inflammation in 61% (8 out of 13) of the patients with PMR and 63.2% (12 out of 19) of the patients with EORA. These findings suggest that a subgroup of patients with PMR and EORA suffers from shoulder joint inflammation and this synovitis/bursitis/intraarticular effusion might play an important role in the understanding of their symptoms. We conclude that overlapping forms of PMR and a predominate rheumatoid factor negative subgroup of EORA might exist and should be further characterized.

    Notes: Abstract Recent studies have shown that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with a loss of trabecular bone. However, these changes have not been not described in patients with SLE at the time of diagnosis. To investigate the markers of bone metabolism 20 female patients with a recently manifested clinical picture of SLE were selected. All patients included in this study met the ARA criteria (for classification) of SLE. For comparison, 35 female patients with SLE, which had previously manifested itself and which had been treated with glucocorticoids, were included in a second group. A control group (III) consisting of 20 healthy individuals of the same age was formed to compare the results obtained. Test parameters comprised both serum levels of osteocalcin (OC) as the marker for bone formation and crosslinks excretion (CE) in urine as a specific marker for bone resorption. The bone density (BMD) was examined by dual energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) of the vertebral column (L2–L4), femoral neck, Ward's triangle and trochanter. The patients under study received either no medication or nonsteroidal antirheumatic drugs. The BMD of the vertebral column was significantly lower than expected in SLE-afflicted subjects of group II when compared with the age-matched normal female controls. The reduction of BMD in female patients with SLE was related to the significantly increased excretion of urinary pyridinoline, to hypoparathyroidism, and to the decrease in serum OC. Bone loss in women with fresh manifestation of SLE (I) increases to a degree similar to that of patients in group II. Lowered BMD predicts an increased risk for bone fractures. Therefore, female premenopausal SLE patients should be monitored for osteoporosis.
