    Notes: Summary Ninety-four consecutive hospital patients aged over 50 years were included in a cross-sectional study. Serum samples were analyzed for coenzyme Q10, α-tocopherol, and free cholesterol levels. Patients who died within a follow-up period of 6 months or had congestive heart failure or severe myalgia, and/or received cytostatic or lipid-lowering drug therapy showed significantly lower free cholesterol-related coenzyme Q10 values. Prospective controlled clinical trials will determine whether coenzyme Q10 has a potential to protect patients from such complications and become a useful therapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In order to study the effect of oxymetholone therapy in advanced myelofibrosis, 11 patients (4 females, 7 males) were given, 3–5 mg per kg body weight, long-term oxymetholone treatment in a prospective multicenter study. Five cases had previously had a diagnosis of polycythemia vera. All patients had anemia initially, 4 leukocytopenia and 10 thrombocytopenia in addition. Hepato-splenomegaly was present in all cases but in varying degree. Five patients required regular blood transfusions before treatment. In 9 of the 15 courses given, there was normalization of the peripheral blood or substantial improvement (better than 3 g hemoglobin/dl or 50×109 platelets/1) after androgens. Significant effects were noted both on hemoglobin values and platelet counts. The need for blood transfusions ceased completely in all 5 cases. When oxymetholone treatment was reduced or interrupted 4 patients relapsed; 2 of them responded to a renewed course. The red cell counts returned to previous polycythemic values in one patient and another died from acute leukemia. The results of this study suggest that androgens might be of value in advanced cases of myelofibrosis with transfusion-requiring anemia or severe thrombocytopenia.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die therapeutische Wirksamkeit von Oxymetholon bei fortgeschrittener Osteomyeloflbrose wurde im Rahmen einer prospektiven Studie geprüft. 11 Patienten (4 Frauen, 7 Männer) erhielten 3–5 mg/kg Körpergewicht Oxymetholon. 5 dieser Patienten hatten vorher eine polyzythämische Phase. Alle Patienten hatten bei Beginn des Therapieversuchs eine Anämie, 4 eine Leukopenie und 10 zusätzlich eine Thrombopenie. Eine Hepatosplenomegalie war immer vorhanden. 5 Patienten benötigten vor Behandlung regelmäßig Bluttransfusionen. In 9 von 15 Therapiephasen wurde eine Normalisierung und deutliche Besserung beobachtet. Die Veränderungen des Hämoglobinspiegels und der Plättchenzahl waren signifikant. 4 Patienten verschlechterten sich nach Dosisreduktion oder bei Absetzen von Oxymetholon; 2 davon sprachen erneut an. Bei einem Patienten kehrten die Werte zu den früher bestehenden polyzythämischen Werten zurück. 1 Patient starb durch eine akute Leukämie. Die Ergebnisse der Studie weisen daraufhin, daß Androgene in weit fortgeschrittenen Fällen von Myelofibrose mit transfusionsbedürftiger Anämie oder schwerer Zytopenie von Wert sein könnte.
