    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung. Bei einer 57 jährigen dialysepflichtigen Patientin mit generalisierter Arteriosklerose trat ein 3-Etagen-Verschluß der Mesenterialarterien mit schnell progredienter Symptomatik auf. Die arteriographische Diagnostik zeigte, daß der gesamte Magen-Darm-Trakt über eine Collaterale aus der A. rectalis superior über die Dick- und Dünndarmarkaden und weiter über die Bühler-Anastomose (pancreaticoduodenale Arkaden) versorgt wurde. Die Revascularisierung erfolgte über die A. mesenterica superior mit Hilfe eines Gore-Tex®-Interponates. Der postoperative Verlauf war durch die schweren internistischen Begleiterkrankungen der Patientin verlängert; chirurgische Komplikationen traten nicht auf, die Symptomatik der Angina abdominalis besserte sich innerhalb weniger Tage. Der Fallbericht zeigt, daß auch bei Patienten mit einem erhöhten Risiko eine Revascularisierung der Mesenterialgefäße durchgeführt werden kann. Eine Einzelgefäßrevascularisation scheint bei der bestehenden Collateralisierung ausreichend.
    Notes: Summary. A 57-year-old patient with general arteriosclerosis and end-stage renal failure was found to be suffering from occlusion of the mesenteric arteries. The symptoms were rapidly progressive. The aortogram showed that nutrition of the whole intestine took place via a collateral vessel that originated at both internal iliac arteries. Revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery with interposition of Gore-Tex prosthesis and transposition to the aorta were performed. The postoperative course was uncomplicated, but prolonged due to the accompanying diseases. In conclusion, single-vessel revascularization for chronic intestinal ischemia is a safe and sufficient procedure. Interpositioning of a graft and transposition to the aorta have the advantages of infrarenal access with an antegrade blood flow and no kinking of the prosthesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The effectiveness of radiosynoviorthesis in the local treatment of chronically inflammatory joint diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis, was evaluated. Subjects and methods: Follow-up examinations of 415 joints in 115 patients up to 4.5 years after intraarticular application of β-emitting yttrium-90, rhenium-186, and erbium-169 were evaluated. The examination protocol included estimation of joint circumference, range of active joint moving capability, fist-bending power, and radiological assessment of joint destruction. Subjective assessment of pain, swelling, and joint function by the patients was evaluated by means of a score with three levels. Results: The mean range of active joint moving capability increased in all joint subgroups, compared with the initial examination, with exception of ankle joints examined more than 30 months after therapy. The mean joint circumference decreased in all joint subgroups. Good to excellent results were achieved in up to 66% of joints, satisfying results in up to 21%, and no improvement or further deterioration was noted in 13% according to subjective assessment by patients themselves. Treatment proved most effective in joints with poor or no alteration in X-ray examinations. Conclusion: In the local treatment of chronically inflammatory joint diseases – especially beyond systemic drug therapy and local corticoid therapy –, radiosynoviorthesis is a low-invasive method, which may provide long-term relief of pain and swelling as well as improvement of joint function.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Wirksamkeit der Radiosynoviorthese bei der Therapie chronisch-entzündlicher Gelenkerkrankungen, insbesondere der chronischen Polyarthritis, untersucht. Patienten und Methode: An 415 Gelenken von 115 Patienten wurden Nachuntersuchungen bis zu 4,5 Jahre nach Radiosynoviorthesen mit 90Yttrium, 186Rhenium und 169Erbium durchgeführt. Bewertet wurden subjektive Angaben der Patienten, Gelenkumfang, aktives Bewegungsausmaß und Faustschlußkraft jeweils im Verlauf und im Zusammenhang mit radiologisch erfaßten Gelenkveränderungen. Ergebnisse: Subjektiv wurden in bis zu 66% der Gelenke gute und sehr gute, in bis zu 21% moderate und in 13% keine Besserungen von Schmerz, Schwellung und Funktion erzielt. In den Nachuntersuchungen war das mittlere Bewegungsausmaß bei allen Gelenkarten mit Ausnahme der länger als 30 Monate beobachteten Sprunggelenke größer, und der mittlere Gelenkumfang bei allen Gelenkarten kleiner als in der Eingangsuntersuchung. Die besten Ergebnisse wurden an Gelenken ohne oder mit geringen radiologisch erfaßten Veränderungen erzielt. Schlußfolgerung: In der Behandlung chronisch-entzündlicher Gelenkerkrankungen ist die intraartikuläre Applikation β-emittierender Radionuklide nach Ausschöpfung der systemischen medikamentösen Therapiemöglichkeiten und der Lokaltherapie mit Kortikoiden eine wenig invasive und gegebenenfalls unproblematisch wiederholbare therapeutische Option mit geringem Risiko für den Patienten, die eine langanhaltende Minderung von Schmerzen, Schwellungen und eine Funktionsverbesserung bewirken kann.

    Notes: Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare ELISA, immunodiffusion and immunoblot for the detection of anti-Jo-1 antibodies, and to investigate the association of the results with clinical manifestations. In two medical centres for rheumatology and one for pulmonology, all patients with suspected connective tissue disease were screened over a 5-year period for anti-Jo-1 antibodies by ELISA. Positive sera were controlled in another laboratory by immunodiffusion. If immunodiffusion was negative, sera were controlled again by ELISA. ELISA-positive immunodiffusion-negative sera were tested by immunoblotting. The patients were characterised clinically, and their clinical signs and symptoms were compared with those of 257 patients with anti-Jo-1 antibodies published in 15 case series and 30 case reports. Twenty-five patients had a positive ELISA test. Fifteen sera were positive by ELISA and immunodiffusion (group 1). Three sera showed high titres in both ELISA tests with negative immunodiffusion and immunoblot (group 2). Seven sera showed low titres in both ELISA tests. The results were negative in the other tests (group 3). Patients in groups 1 and 2 could be classified as Jo-1 syndrome patients. Of these 18 patients, 15 had arthritis, 14 had myositis and 14 had interstitial lung disease. Only four patients had myositis at disease onset. We describe four unusual patients with Jo-1 syndrome in detail: 1. Long history of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis; 2. Sjo¨gren’s syndrome with Ro- and La-antibodies; 3. Scleroderma and bronchial carcinoma with centromere antibodies; 4. Corticoid-sensitive psychosis. Patients with suspected connective tissue disease may be screened for anti-Jo-1 antibodies by ELISA. It detects some patients that are missed by immunodiffusion. Especially lower ELISA titres should be controlled by another method because of the low specificity of the test. The clinical picture is variable. Most patients have features other than myositis at disease onset.
