    Notes: A central role of iron in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), due to its increase in substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic neurons and reactive microglia and its capacity to enhance production of toxic reactive oxygen radicals, has been discussed for many years. Recent transcranial ultrasound findings and the observation of the ability of iron to induce aggregation and toxicity of α-synuclein have reinforced the critical role of iron in the pathogenesis of nigrostriatal injury. Presently the mechanisms involved in the disturbances of iron metabolism in PD remain obscure. In this review we summarize evidence from recent studies suggesting disturbances of iron metabolism in PD at possibly different levels including iron uptake, storage, intracellular metabolism, release and post-transcriptional control. Moreover we outline that the interaction of iron with other molecules, especially α-synuclein, may contribute to the process of neurodegeneration. Because many neurodegenerative diseases show increased accumulation of iron at the site of neurodegeneration, it is believed that maintenance of cellular iron homeostasis is crucial for the viability of neurons.

    Multiple unilateral schwannomas: segmental neurofibromatosis type 2 or schwannomatosis? (2003)

    Notes: Summary Schwannomas are benign solitary tumours of the peripheral nerve sheaths. The occurrence of multiple schwannomas usually implies hereditary disease. The most frequent syndrome associated with multiple schwannomas is neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), which is defined by bilateral vestibular schwannomas. Schwannomatosis is a distinct disease characterized by multiple pathologically proven schwannomas in the absence of vestibular schwannomas. It is not currently known if the presence of multiple schwannomas confined to a limb may represent a mosaic form of NF2 or a distinct disease, because mutation analysis of these tumours is not routinely performed. We report a 31-year-old patient who presented with multiple slowly growing subcutaneous tumours on his left arm. His family history was negative for cutaneous tumours or central nervous system disease, and he did not have additional features of NF2. Magnetic resonance tomography and ophthalmological examination excluded vestibular schwannoma and eye stigmata of NF2. After resection of three tumours, histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of benign schwannomas. Molecular genetic analysis by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis and microsatellite marker analysis demonstrated two distinct mutations of the NF2 gene (NF2) in two different schwannomas, with concomitant loss of heterozygosity in both tumours. In contrast, neither normal skin nor peripheral blood lymphocytes revealed mutations of NF2. The clinical and molecular genetic findings suggest that the diagnosis in our patient is schwannomatosis rather than segmental NF2 because the mutations found in different tumours were not identical. The possibility of a localized predisposition for the acquisition of NF2 mutations is discussed.

    Notes: Summary ¶ Purpose. In this prospective study the results of multimodal postoperative neuro-imaging were related to the survival of patients with high grade gliomas.  Methods. All 73 patients included underwent microsurgical tumour resection and had postoperative CT and transcranial sonography (TCS) examinations. In addition, 35 of the 73 patients received an early postoperative MRI. Patients were followed up for at least one year.  Findings. At the end of the 7 year study period 56 patients had died. The median survival time was 371 days. Survival rate was significantly higher in patients with anaplastic astrocytomas and inpatients displaying complete tumour resection on MRI (log-rank-test, p〈0.05) or a small postoperative residual tumour bulk on TCS (log-rank-test, p〈0.05). Cox proportional hazards model identified histological tumour grade, postoperative Karnofsky index, complete resection based on MRI and small postoperative residual tumour mass on TCS as independent predictors of survival.  Interpretation. This study demonstrates that early postoperative neuro-imaging has prognostic implications for the survival of patients with high grade gliomas. According to our results postoperative imaging with MRI and TCS is a valuable prognostic with regard to patient survival and should therefore be implemented in postoperative follow-up. It also helps to evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant therapy.

    Notes: Abstract Haemochromatosis is characterised by deposition of iron-containing pigment in various organs, but little is known about possible deposition in the brain and its clinical impact. We therefore investigated 14 patients with hereditary haemochromatosis with MRI, CT and transcranial ultrasound (TCS) and examined them neurologically. In six of the patients dense lesions were found within the lentiform nucleus on CT, all of whom displayed hyperechogenic lesions in the same area on TCS, as did one other patient. In these patients the relative signal intensities of the lentiform nucleus measured by MRI relaxometry were higher. No patient had clinical signs of basal ganglia disorders.

    Description / Table of Contents: prEN 1927 for roundwood and DIN 4074 for sawntimber did not result in any stronger correlation. Though the application of common European grading rules is recommended, some adaptations to prEN 1927 should be made to improve the prediction of sawn timber quality.
    Notes: prEN 1927 in den drei Partnerländern führte bei anschließender einheitlicher Sortierung des Schnittholzes nach DIN 4074 zu keinem deutlich verbesserten Zusammenhang. Um die Vorteile einer einheitlichen europäischen Normierung zu nutzen, sollten die bestehenden Möglichkeiten zur Nachbesserung der prEN 1927 aufgegriffen werden.
