    Notes: Background:  Steroid injections into joints are frequently used to control symptomatic pain. Risks associated with intra-articular steroid injections are not well documented.Methods:  We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who was referred to a dental surgeon because of a suspected relationship between persisting chronic back pain and an arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).Results: The dental surgeon diagnosed capsulitis of the right TMJ and injected 40 mg triamcinolone into the joint. Within 4 months the patient developed progressive pain and trismus of the right TMJ and the intra-articular injection was repeated. An occlusal splint slightly improved the patients’ symptoms but induced crepitus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a disk dislocation in the right TMJ and severe necrosis of the condyle. The patient had persisting pain and ankylosis. Surgical restoration of the TMJ revealed a bony apposition in the fossa deformed with the socket of the joint, extensive medial erosion of the condyle and complete destruction of the disk.Conclusion:  This case report supports earlier observations that intra-articular glucocorticoid injections, if used in a wrong way, may cause severe destruction of a joint.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: Acute haemorrhages of the adrenals in a septicemia with meningococci have been a well-known complication. They have also been described in neonates for septicemia due to E. coli, staphylococci and streptococci. Case: We observed a fulminant lethal septic disease with bilateral acute haemorrhagic necrosis in a 14-day-old preterm infant. Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from blood culture. Discussion: This is the first report on Waterhouse-Friderichsen-syndrome triggered by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Akute Nebennierenblutungen sind bekannte Komplikationen der Meningokokkensepsis. Sie wurden auch bei Neonaten mit Sepsis durch E. coli, Staphylokokken und Streptokokken beschrieben. Fall: Wir beobachteten eine fulminante letal verlaufende Sepsis mit bilateraler hämorrhagischer Nekrose der Nebennieren bei einem 14 Tage alten Frühgeborenen. In der Blutkultur konnte Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoliert werden. Diskussion: Erstmals wird über ein Waterhouse-Friderichsen-Syndrom berichtet, das durch Pseudomonas aeruginosa ausgelöst wurde.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Tuberous sclerosis (McKusick number: 19110) is well documented as an inheritable autosomal dominant disorder. On the occasion of results of an autopsy of a male fetus (1950 g, 29th gestational week) we report on the very early onset of a giant cell astrocytoma (microcalzified focally) and a cystic kidney disorder which in association with this phacomatosis is described first for this age. Thus, based on sonography there is a new differential diagnosis for the weighty prenatal diagnosis of a “Potter syndrome” or of “cystic kidneys”. Moreover, on a chromosomal level we discuss possible connections between tuberous sklerosis and distinct forms of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, ADPKD.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die tuberöse Hirnsklerose (McKusick-Nummer: 19110) ist ein gut untersuchtes autosomal-dominant vererbtes Krankheitsbild. Anhand des Autopsiebefundes eines 1950 g schweren, männlichen Föten in der 29. Schwangerschaftswoche wird das sehr frühe Auftreten eines herdförmig mikrokalzifizierten Riesenzellastrozytoms und von zystischen Nierenveränderungen (letztere u. E. erstmals bei dieser Phakomatose für dieses Lebensalter beschrieben) dargestellt. Hieraus ergibt sich eine neue Differentialdiagnose für die folgenschwere pränatale sonographische Diagnose des „Potter-Syndroms“ oder der „Zystennieren“. Außerdem werden mögliche chromosomale Zusammenhänge der tuberösen Sklerose mit bestimmten Formen der „autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease“ (ADPKD) diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A 38-year-old man presented with an intracranial extra-axial tumour at the base of the left posterior fossa which proved to be a meningeal melanocytoma. Meningeal melanocytoma is a rare, benign melanotic tumour of the leptomeninges occuring predominantly in the posterior fossa or the upper spinal cord in adults. It shows characteristic cytologic features with isomorphic epitheloid or spindle-shaped cells, often with prominent nucleoli and a variable content of intracytoplasmic melanin. It usually lacks signs of malignancy such as high mitotic rate, necroses or infiltrative growth and shows a low labeling index in proliferation marker studies. Its immunohistological profile with S-100 protein-, vimentin- and HMB-45-positive tumour cells is similar to that of (primary or metastatic) malignant melanoma. This differential diagnosis is crucial because of the totally different therapeutic and prognostic implications. Therefore, everyone dealing with surgical neuropathology should be familiar with the rare, but clinically important diagnosis of meningeal melanocytoma.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Anhand einer eigenen Fallbeobachtung einer intrakraniellen, extraaxialen Raumforderung an der Basis der linken hinteren Schädelgrube bei einem 38 Jahre alten Mann wird die Tumorentität des meningealen Melanozytoms vorgestellt. Es handelt sich um eine seltene, gutartige melanotische Geschwulst der Leptomeningen, die vorwiegend in der hinteren Schädelgrube oder dem kranialen Rückenmark bei Erwachsenen auftritt. Der Tumor zeigt ein zytologisches Bild mit isomorphen epitheloiden oder spindelförmigen Zellen, die oft prominente Nukleolen und einen unterschiedlich ausgeprägten Gehalt an intrazytoplasmatischem Melanin aufweisen. Malignitätszeichen wie eine erhöhte Mitoserate, Nekrosen oder infiltratives Wachstum liegen im Regelfall nicht vor, und der Markierungsindex bei Proliferationsmarkeruntersuchungen ist niedrig. Das immunhistologische Profil des meningealen Melanozytoms mit S-100-Protein-, Vimentin- und HMB-45-Positivität entspricht dem des (primären oder metastatischen) malignen Melanoms. Diese Differentialdiagnose ist von entscheidender Bedeutung wegen der resultierenden völlig unterschiedlichen therapeutischen und prognostischen Konsequenzen. Daher sollte jeder, der neurochirurgische Biopsien beurteilt, mit der zwar seltenen, aber klinisch wichtigen Diagnose des meningealen Melanozytoms vertraut sein.

    Notes: Abstract Involvement of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors in the effects of cocaine on schedule-controlled behavior was evaluated in squirrel monkeys responding under a multiple fixed-interval 5-min, fixed-ratio 10 schedule (mult FI FR) of food delivery. Cocaine and the D2 agonist quinpirole increased responding under the FI at certain doses and disrupted the temporal patterning of behavior. Higher doses of these drugs decreased responding. In contrast, the D1 agonist SKF 38393 was devoid of behavioral activity up to 10 mg/kg where response suppression was obtained without significant modification of the temporal distribution of responding. The D2 antagonist haloperidol (0.001–0.03 mg/kg) did not alter the behavioral effects of cocaine up to doses that had pronounced behavioral effects on their own. However, haloperidol attenuated the behavioral effects of quinpirole. In contrast, the D1 antagonist SCH 23390 partially attenuated the response rate-suppressant effects of cocaine without blocking cocaine-induced disruptions of temporal response patterning. SCH 23390 did not antagonize the behavioral effects of SKF 38393. These results suggest that independent stimulation of either D1 or D2 receptors alone does not play a major role in the effects of cocaine on schedule-controlled behavior of squirrel monkeys.

    Notes: Abstract Rats treated weekly with cumulative doses (1–100 mg/kg, IP) of naltrexone develop an enhanced sensitivity to the operant response-rate decreasing effect of naltrexone. In the present experiment the pharmacological specificity of that enhanced sensitivity was determined by testing a variety of drugs for cross-sensitivity to naltrexone. Cross-sensitivity was evaluated with two procedures. In one, dose-effect functions were determined for each of the test compounds before and after the development of enhanced sensitivity to naltrexone in a single group of rats. In the second procedure, one group of rats was made sensitive to naltrexone, while a second was not. Test compounds were then evaluated in both groups. For both procedures, a shift to the left in the dose-effect functions similar to naltrexone was considered evidence of cross-sensitivity. Of the opioid antagonists tested, only naloxone showed clear cross-sensitivity to naltrexone, although MR 2266 and diprenorphine also showed evidence of cross-sensitivity. The opioid antagonist quadazocine did not show cross-sensitivity to naltrexone on the day of testing, although some evidence of cross-sensitivity was evident 24 h later. In addition, the dose-effect function ford-amphetamine was significantly changed following naltrexone treatment. No evidence of cross-sensitivity was observed for the optical isomer of naloxone,d-naloxone, or for naloxone's quaternary derivative, naloxone methiodide. None of the opioid agonists or agonist-antagonists tested showed cross-sensitivity to naltrexone (i.e. morphine, U-50, 488H, ethylketocyclazocine,N-allylnormetazocine and pentazocine). The non-opioid drugs chlordiazepoxide and phencyclidine also failed to show evidence of cross-sensitivity. However, the dose-effect curves for chlordiazepoxide were shifted significantly to the right following naltrexone treatment. The results of the present experiment indicate that the enhanced sensitivity which develops to naltrexone in rats is stereospecific and centrally mediated. The effect is specific, in that it does not appear to confer changes in the behavioral effects of non-opioids or even opioid agonists.

    Notes: Abstract Male food-restricted hooded rats were trained to respond on a two-component multiple schedule. Reinforcement density was several times higher in one component than in the other. However, responses were intermittently punished with shock in the richer reinforcement component (conflict situation). Shock intensities were adjusted to produce mild and strong suppression of responding in two separate phases. Half of the rats controlled which component was operating (Preference group) and half did not (Yoked group). The effect of chlordiazepoxide (CDZ; 0, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg; IP) was measured on component preference and response rate. Chlordiazepoxide increased both time spent in the conflict situation and response rate in that component. This is the first study employing a schedule that permitted these two behavioral indices to be measured independently in a conflict paradigm. Response rates were also increased in the unpunished response alternative, but to a lesser degree than in the conflict situation. The effects of CDZ were at least partially mediated by the benzodiazepine receptor because CDZ's effects were diminished by flumanezil (10 mg/kg; IP), a benzodiazepine antagonist.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The term ”juxta facet cyst” was coined in 1974 by Kao et al. and combines synovial cysts arising from the synovial outpouchings through areas of weakened or destroyed capsular tissue and ganglion cysts developing from mucinous degeneration of periarticular connective tissue. We have operated on 16 patients with juxta facet cysts during the last 3 years. One cyst was located in the thoracic spine, causing a transverse syndrome; 15 cysts were located in the lumbar spine, causing nerve root compression. Diagnosis was established preoperatively by MR in 10 and CT in 3 cases, respectively. The definite classification of the cystic processes was made by histopathologic examination. Surgical treatment consisted of resection of the cyst. Postoperatively, all but 2 patients were free of complaints and no recurrence was observed in the mean follow-up period of 15.5 months. Juxta facet cysts are an uncommon finding, but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of epidural compressive syndromes of the spine.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der Terminus „Juxta-Facett-Zyste” wurde 1974 von Kao et al. geprägt und faßt Synovialzysten, die von der Synovia der degenerativ veränderten Intervertebralgelenke ausgehen, und Ganglionzysten, die durch mukoide Degeneration von periartikulärem Bindegewebe entstehen, zusammen. Wir behandelten in den letzten 3 Jahren 16 Patienten mit Juxta-Facett-Zysten. Eine thorakal gelegene Zyste führte zu einer Querschnittslähmung, die 15 lumbal gelegenen Zysten führten in 14 Fällen zu einem langsam progredienten, in einem Fall zu einem akuten Nervenwurzelkompressionssyndrom. Die Diagnose wurde präoperativ in 10 Fällen mittels MR und in 3 Fällen mittels CT gestellt; die endgültige Diagnose und Klassifikation erfolgte durch histopathologische Untersuchungen. Die Behandlung bestand in der mikrochirurgischen Resektion der Zyste. Nach einer mittleren Nachbeobachtungsdauer von 15,5 Monaten waren 87,5% der Patienten beschwerdefrei. In keinem Fall kam es zu einem Rezidiv. Juxta-Facett-Zysten sind selten, müssen aber in der Differentialdiagnose der spinalen epiduralen Kompressionssyndrome berücksichtigt werden.

    Notes: Abstract The abscission zone in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill. flower pedicels is morphologically distinguishable prior to separation and is delineated by an indentation of the epidermis. Exposure of excised pedicels with the flower attached to ethylene results in abscission within 12 h and this can be accelerated by flower removal. Abscission of excised pedicels with the flower removed takes place in the absence of exogenous ethylene but this is delayed by pretreatment with aminoethoxyvinyl glycine, an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis. The data presented support the hypothesis that flower tissue is the source of an abscission inhibitor.
