Abstract
Intra-operative imaging techniques for obtaining the shape and morphology of soft-tissue surfaces in vivo are a key enabling technology for advanced surgical systems. Different optical techniques for 3-D surface reconstruction in laparoscopy have been proposed, however, so far no quantitative and comparative validation has been performed. Furthermore, robustness of the methods to clinically important factors like smoke or bleeding has not yet been assessed. To address these issues, we have formed a joint international initiative with the aim of validating different state-of-the-art passive and active reconstruction methods in a comparative manner. In this comprehensive in vitro study, we investigated reconstruction accuracy using different organs with various shape and texture and also tested reconstruction robustness with respect to a number of factors like the pose of the endoscope as well as the amount of blood or smoke present in the scene. The study suggests complementary advantages of the different techniques with respect to accuracy, robustness, point density, hardware complexity and computation time. While reconstruction accuracy under ideal conditions was generally high, robustness is a remaining issue to be addressed. Future work should include sensor fusion and in vivo validation studies in a specific clinical context. To trigger further research in surface reconstruction, stereoscopic data of the study will be made publically available at www.open-CAS.com upon publication of the paper.

Abstract
Orofacial clefts are one of the most common birth defects in humans with a prevalence of 1:700. Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate or isolated cleft palate show an incomplete separation of the oral cavity and the nasal space without any additional malformations. Beside complete cleft palate also submucous celft palates exist that are hidden below the intact mucosa. The aetiology of celfts is a complex interaction between environmental and genetic factors. Orofacial clefts cause many complications like feeding, speech and hearing problems needing a team of head and neck surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, phoniatricians and speech therapist for treatment. Often a genetic counselling is made for estimating the risk for the relatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate age of diagnosis, typical symptoms, finding of the palate, therapy options and accompanying diseases. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 439 patients with symptomatic submucous cleft palate (SMCP), who received a veloplasty operation (butterfly suture technique developed by Haase) was made. RESULTS SMCP was initially diagnosed at the mean age of 4.9 years. Main symptoms were hyper nasal speech (51%) and conductive hearing loss (45%), which resolved after veloplasty (often in combination with adenotomy and insertion of ventilation tubes). Typical findings of the palate were a lack of posterior nasal spine (68%) and bifid uvula (59%). Following surgery 17.1% required speech therapy and 5.5% needed velopharyngoplasty due to continuing hyper nasal speech. CONCLUSION SMCP is often diagnosed very late, though symptoms of velopharyngeal insufficiency (hyper nasal speech, Eustachian tube dysfunction) and bifid uvula are present. We therefore recommend that all patients with such findings are examined by an appropriate specialist such as Phoniatrics, Otolaryngologist and Oral-Maxillofacial-Surgeon so that early diagnosis and palatoplasty can be performed. The veloplasty operation (butterfly suture technique) can be recommended as a safe therapy for velopharyngeal insufficiency for patients with symptomatic SMCP.

Abstract
Inhalational anthrax, a zoonotic disease caused by the inhalation of Bacillus anthracis spores, has a ∼50% fatality rate even when treated with antibiotics. Pathogenesis is dependent on the activity of two toxic noncovalent complexes: edema toxin (EdTx) and lethal toxin (LeTx). Protective antigen (PA), an essential component of both complexes, binds with high affinity to the major receptor mediating the lethality of anthrax toxin in vivo, capillary morphogenesis protein 2 (CMG2). Certain antibodies against PA have been shown to protect against anthrax in vivo. As an alternative to anti-PA antibodies, we produced a fusion of the extracellular domain of human CMG2 and human IgG Fc, using both transient and stable tobacco plant expression systems. Optimized expression led to the CMG2-Fc fusion protein being produced at high levels: 730 mg/kg fresh leaf weight in Nicotiana benthamiana and 65 mg/kg in N. tabacum. CMG2-Fc, purified from tobacco plants, fully protected rabbits against a lethal challenge with B. anthracis spores at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight administered at the time of challenge. Treatment with CMG2-Fc did not interfere with the development of the animals' own immunity to anthrax, as treated animals that survived an initial challenge also survived a rechallenge 30 days later. The glycosylation of the Fc (or lack thereof) had no significant effect on the protective potency of CMG2-Fc in rabbits or on its serum half-life, which was about 5 days. Significantly, CMG2-Fc effectively neutralized, in vitro, LeTx-containing mutant forms of PA that were not neutralized by anti-PA monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
The frequency of delayed function of kidney transplants varies greatly and is associated with quality of graft, donor age and the duration of cold ischemia time. Furthermore, body weight differences between donor and recipient can affect primary graft function, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. We transplanted kidney grafts from commensurate body weight (L-WD) or reduced body weight (H-WD) donor rats into syngeneic or allogeneic recipients. Twenty-four hours posttransplantation, serum creatinine levels in H-WD recipients were significantly higher compared to L-WD recipients indicating impaired primary graft function. This was accompanied by upregulation of IL-6 transcription and increased tubular destruction in grafts from H-WD recipients. Using DNA microarray analysis, we detected decreased expression of genes associated with kidney function and an upregulation of other genes such as Cyp3a13, FosL and Trib3. A single application of IL-6 into L-WD recipients is sufficient to impair primary graft function and cause tubular damage, whereas immediate neutralization of IL-6 receptor signaling in H-WD recipients rescued primary graft function with well-preserved kidney graft architecture and a normalized gene expression profile. These findings have strong clinical implication as anti-IL6R treatment of patients receiving grafts from lower-weight donors could be used to improve primary graft function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is often diagnosed very late and can cause velopharyngeal insufficiency with open nasal speech and Eustachian tube dysfunction. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 106 patients (100 children, 6 adults) who had been surgically treated for SMCP was made. Age of diagnosis, physician who initially diagnosed the SMCP, typical symptoms for cleft palate, clinical examination of the palate, therapy options and accompanying diseases were evaluated. RESULTS SMCP was diagnosed in 79 cases by a specialist for Phoniatrics/ENT surgery of the University and in 21 cases by a physician, who does not work at hospital at the age of 4.9 years. Main symptoms were Eustachian tube dysfunctions (61.3%) and hypernasal speech (48.1%). Typical findings of the palate were: reduced contraction (69.8%), lack of posterior nasal spine (55.7%) and bifid uvula (51.9%). In 18 patients a dysmorphic syndrome was observed and in 83% a conductive hearing loss which resolved after palatoplasty (often in combination with adenotomy and insertion of ventilation tubes). Following surgery 18 patients required speech therapy and of these 6 needed velopharyngoplasty due to continuing open nasal speech. CONCLUSIONS SMCP is often diagnosed very late, though symptoms of velopharyngeal insufficiency such as open nasal speech, Eustachian tube dysfunction and reduced contraction of the palate with bifid uvula are present. It is also often found in children with craniofacial dysmorphic syndromes. We therefore recommend that all patients with such findings are examined by an appropriate specialist such as Phoniatrics, ENT-Surgeon and Oral-Maxillofacial Surgeon so that early diagnosis and palatoplasty can be performed.

Abstract
Elevated atmospheric CO2 treatments stimulated biomass production in Fe-sufficient and Fe-deficient barley plants, both in hydroponics and in soil culture. Root/shoot biomass ratio was increased in severely Fe-deficient plants grown in hydroponics but not under moderate Fe limitation in soil culture. Significantly increased biomass production in high CO2 treatments, even under severe Fe deficiency in hydroponic culture, indicates an improved internal Fe utilization. Iron deficiency-induced secretion of PS in 0.5 to 2.5 cm sub-apical root zones was increased by 74% in response to elevated CO2 treatments of barley plants in hydroponics but no PS were detectable in root exudates collected from soil-grown plants. This may be attributed to suppression of PS release by internal Fe concentrations above the critical level for Fe deficiency, determined at final harvest for soil-grown barley plants, even without additional Fe supply. However, extremely low concentrations of easily plant-available Fe in the investigated soil and low Fe seed reserves suggest a contribution of PS-mediated Fe mobilization from sparingly soluble Fe sources to Fe acquisition of the soil-grown barley plants during the preceding culture period. Higher Fe contents in shoots (+52%) of plants grown in soil culture without Fe supply under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations may indicate an increased efficiency for Fe acquisition. No significant influence on diversity and function of rhizosphere-bacterial communities was detectable in the outer rhizosphere soil (0-3 mm distance from the root surface) by DGGE of 16S rRNA gene fragments and analysis of marker enzyme activities for C-, N-, and P-cycles.

Abstract
Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy are the most frequently recommended childhood ENT operations. Although current standards of practice are high, note still needs to be taken of indications, especially in patients with palatal anomalies. These are not always easily estimated or recognised. The origin and therapy of velopharyngeal insufficiency are of particular importance.

Abstract
Trabecular bone structure and bone density contribute to the strength of bone and are important in the study of osteoporosis. Wavelets are a powerful tool to characterize and quantify texture in an image. In this study the thickness of trabecular bone was analyzed in 8 cylindrical cores of the vertebral spine. Images were obtained from 3 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and micro-computed tomography (μCT). Results from the wavelet based analysis of trabecular bone were compared with standard two-dimensional (2D) structural parameters (analogous to bone histomorphometry) obtained using mean intercept length (MR images) and direct three-dimensional (3D) distance transformation methods (μCT images). Additionally, the bone volume fraction was determined from MR images. We conclude that the wavelet based analyses delivers comparable results to the established MR histomorphometric measurements. The average deviation in trabecular thickness was less than one pixel size between the wavelet and the standard approach for both MR and μCT analysis. Since the wavelet based method is less sensitive to image noise, we see an advantage of wavelet analysis of trabecular bone for MR imaging when going to higher resolution.

Abstract
Summary We have developed a three-dimensional (3D) wavelet-based filter for visualizing structural features in volumetric data. The only variable parameter is a characteristic linear size of the feature of interest. The filtered output contains only those regions that are correlated with the characteristic size, thus de-noising the image. We demonstrate the use of the filter by applying it to 3D data from a variety of electron microscopy samples, including low-contrast vitreous ice cryogenic preparations, as well as 3D optical microscopy specimens.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases occurring concurrently with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with deletion del(5q) including band q31 are very rare and have only been reported twice in the medical literature. We present two additional cases, one patient with del(5q) and trisomy 21 who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and one patient with isolated del(5q) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Both patients had mild leukopenia and severe transfusion-dependent anemia. The rheumatoid arthritis was treated with antirheumatics without additional immunosuppressive medication. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia was controlled with long-term steroid administration. This patient developed additional trisomy 21, 2 years after the initial diagnosis of del(5q). Contrary to previous reports on autoimmune disorders in MDS mentioning improvements of hematological function in response to steroid administration, neither of our patients had a hematological improvement under corticosteroids.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION Regulatory elements of the 5'-flanking region of the DNA-repair gene Rad51 were analysed to characterise pathological alterations of Rad51 mRNA expression during tumour development. METHODS Various fragments of the Rad51 promoter were cloned into the pGL3 reporter vector and the respective promoter activity was determined by luciferase assays in transfected U2-OS cells. Transcription factor binding was identified using Protein/DNA arrays. RESULTS The region encompassing base pairs -204 to -58 was identified as crucial for Rad51 gene transcription. Down regulator sequences are present upstream (-305 to -204) and downstream (-48 and +204) of this core promoter element. Promoter activity is significantly enhanced by substituting G at the polymorphic positions +135 and +172 for C and T, respectively. Transcription factors Ets1/PEA3, E2F1, p53, EGR1, and Stat5 were identified as relevant for regulating expression of Rad51. CONCLUSION We identified three separate cis-sequence elements within the Rad51 transcriptional promoter, one ensuring basal levels of expression and two elements limiting expression to relatively low levels. The characterisation of transcription factor binding might help to explain high-level expression of Rad51 in a variety of solid tumours. The polymorphic sites appear important for the increased risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer for BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Abstract
Early plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) leukemia/lymphoma has recently been described as a CD4(+)CD56(+) lineage negative malignancy with characteristic clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic, and biological features. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who was diagnosed with isolated skin involvement 30 months ago and received numerous chemotherapy cycles that did not prevent three relapses of the disease, the last two involving the bone marrow. The bone marrow was nearly completely infiltrated with small- to medium-sized blasts displaying a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, a cytoplasm with faint basophilia lacking granulations or Auer rods. Small vacuoles surrounding the nucleus were frequently observed. Flow cytometry showed CD4(+), CD56(+), CD45(+), CD38(+), HLA-DR(+), CD33(+), CD123(+), CD2(-), cyCD3(-), CD7(-), CD10(-), CD11b(-), CD13(-), CD14(-), CD16(-), CD19(-), cyCD22(-), CD24(-), CD34(-), CD57(-), CD61(-), CD64(-), CD65(-), cyCD79a(-), CD117(-), MPO(-), and TdT(-) population. At the second bone marrow relapse, CD117 was also positive. Our patient was initially treated with acute myeloid leukemia-type chemotherapy, later he was given acute lymphoblastic leukemia-type treatment, and at the last relapse he received CHOP chemotherapy. Each treatment led to rapid response of tumor manifestations with disease-free intervals of 7 months, 9 months, and 8 months, respectively. Although patients usually have an ominous prognosis, with only 25% living more than 24 months, our patient is alive after 30+ months and has again achieved complete remission after the last chemotherapy.

Abstract
We analyzed data of 76 consecutive patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and isolated del(5q) (n=66) or del(5q) plus one additional chromosomal abnormality (n=10) included in our MDS database over the last 26 years. The median age of our patient population was 66.8 years. The male to female ratio was 1:1.7. In all, 14 patients (18%) had advanced MDS with an increased medullary blast count. A total of 17 patients (22%) had significant dysplasia in the nonmegakaryocytic cell lines. Nearly half of the study population showed erythroid hypoplasia in the bone marrow. The projected median survival of patients with isolated del(5q) is 146 months for a median follow-up of 67 months. Patients with an increased medullary blast count and those with an additional chromosomal abnormality have a significantly shorter overall survival (24 and 45 months, respectively) than patients with isolated del(5q). We did not find survival differences for different cytogenetic breakpoints, nor did the amount of dysplasia have an impact on survival in our population. In total, 29 patients have died. Deaths occurred primarily due to transformation into acute leukemia, infection, or cardiac failure. Our data support the current definition of a separate entity of MDS with del(5q) that has been suggested by the World Health Organization.

Abstract
Knowledge of peripartum indicators of those mother-infant pairs that are at increased risk of early failure of lactation may improve specific support of breastfeeding. Mode of delivery, labor complications, hyperbilirubinemia, milk intake and weight development were evaluated in healthy term infants in a hospital (n = 338). Delayed onset of lactation was observed in primiparae and in study participants with peripartum complications. The quantitative intake of human milk, assessed by test weighing 0-24 h and 24-48 h after the onset of lactation, was not significantly different between these groups. In addition, volume intake, weight gain and lactation success were tracked in 77 infants. Partial feeding of infant formula or an intake of <150 g of human milk per day 24-48 h after the onset of lactation was linked to weaning within 4 weeks. Ninety-one percent of the infants were exclusively breastfed at discharge; this value had declined to 49, 35 and 20% at 4, 12 and 20 weeks, respectively. Peripartum factors may contribute to early lactation failure; the long-term success of breastfeeding was predominantly determined outside the hospital.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in juvenile patients with rheumatic diseases. Furthermore, correlations between the degree of the rheumatic disease and the clinical symptoms were evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a prospective investigation the temporomandibular joints of 48 children with rheumatic diseases were evaluated clinically regarding clicking, crepitation, pain, duration of the rheumatic disease, and the number of affected peripheral joints. The degree of rheumatic disease was assessed with Steinbrocker's classification. RESULTS 26 patients (54.17%) showed clinical symptoms of TMD. No significant correlation was found between the degree of the rheumatic disease and the awareness of TMD. A high number of affected peripheral joints does not lead to a significant increase of TMD. A significant correlation between the duration of the rheumatic disease and TMD could be detected. A significant correlation between the duration of the rheumatic disease and clicking or crepitation was found ( p=0.011). CONCLUSION Rheumatic diseases lead to a higher incidence of TMD in juvenile patients. A longer duration of rheumatic diseases leads to a higher incidence of TMD.

Abstract
In cases of lethal firearm injuries computer enhanced anatomical feasibility studies can provide unambiguous clues concerning self-versus extraneous infliction. To this end individualized digital 3-dimensional geometrical models of the victim and the weapon are generated true to scale with the help of the CAD software (POSER Version 4, egi.sys AG). All anatomical data relevant to the motion apparatus and the range of movement as well as the injuries of the individual victim are carefully documented and serve as input parameters for the digital geometrical model. The bullet path is visualized as a cylinder between entrance and exit wound. A series of simulation sequences then can be carried out by the variation of anatomically possible shot positions and the virtual grasp of the weapon. An exact alignment of the firearm's barrel and the bullet path is a reliable statement for the feasibility of self-infliction. In addition to circumstantial evidence the digital reconstruction of the firearm shot admits of unambiguous conclusions about the course of the traumatic event.

Abstract
Paintings and drawings by Lucas Moser, Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, and Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen suggest that they employed people who had had cleft lips operated on as models for their works of art. Created between 1431 and 1520, the portraits show diagnostic facial profiles with a curved nasal dorsum, short columella, maxillary retrusion, and pseudoprogenia. The first medical illustration of cleft lip surgery was published in 1564 by Ambroise Paré. It was therefore late Gothic and Renaissance artists who depicted the conspicuous signs of surgically treated patients with cleft lip more than 130 years before the surgeons.

Abstract
Expressed sequence tag (EST) databases represent a large volume of information on expressed genes including tissue type, expression profile and exon structure. In this study we create an extensive data set of human alternative splicing. We report the analysis of 7867 non-redundant mRNAs, 3011 of which contained alternative splice forms (38% of all mRNAs analysed). From a total of 12572 ESTs 4560 different possible alternative splice forms were detected. Interestingly, 70% of the alternative splice forms correspond to exon deletion events with only 30% exonic insertions. We experimentally verified 19 different splice forms from 16 genes in a total subset of 20 studied; all of the respective genes are of medical relevance.

Abstract
The appearance of constitutively active and antiestrogen resistant estrogen receptor variants has been proposed as one of several factors leading to the development of antiestrogen resistant breast cancers. We recently described the ER2, estrogen receptor mutant, which exhibits enhanced binding to the estrogen response element on DNA, and partial constitutive estrogen-independent) ability to activate transcription. In this work we used transient transfections to show that the antiestrogens trans hydroxytamoxifen and ICI 164,384 are unable to suppress the constitutive activity of the ER2 mutant. Instead, both antiestrogens were concentration-dependent activators of the ER2 mutant. The ER2 mutant appears to be the first estrogen receptor mutant to show activation of a simple estrogen response element-containing promoter using the "pure" antiestrogen ICI 164,384.

Abstract
215 skulls taken from graves of the 4th to 12th century in southern Germany were cephalometrically evaluated. The correlations of the parameters S-N, PM-SN and PM-ANS were used to develop new formulas for calculating the body height, needing only parts of the skull. Compared with other methods based on the length of bones of the extremities very similar results were obtained.

Abstract
Size and quality of the medullary space in the mandibular ramus are highly variable. Mean value studies using CT scans show a broad range of variation for vertical measurements of the medullary space. An individual CT scan of the mandibular ramus therefore seems to be necessary to establish the optimum line of osteotomy in preparing a sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible.

Reports of hard and soft tissue injuries of the head in ancient Egypt were first published in the surgical "Book of Wounds" of E. Smith's Papyrus, which dates back to the 16th century B.C., and is assumed (Pahl, 1986) to be a collection of experiences gained over a thousand years. Diagnostic clues and guidelines for the treatment of fractures of the maxilla and the zygomatic bone are described in several cases.

Abstract
Twenty-two patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity were treated intra-arterially with epirubicin and cisplatin. Biopsies were taken before, during, and after treatment and analysed by DNA flow cytometry. Clinical response to therapy was better in the diploid group as well as in previously aneuploid tumors which showed complete disappearance of the abnormal clone in the course of treatment. Poor reduction of tumor volume corresponded with persistence of aneuploid cells.

Abstract
A total of 47 primary squamous cell carcinomas of the tongue were analysed by DNA flow cytometry. With respect to their clonal DNA content two distinct tumor groups could be distinguished. In 14 cases the tumors (29.8%) were dipoid, whereas in 33 cases (70.2%) additional cell lines characterized by abnormal DNA content could be detected. A significant increase of aneuploid cases with tumor size as well as with decreasing histological differentiation could be detected. Aneuploid cell lines are lacking in T1 as well as in most G1 carcinomas but predominate in T3 and G3. Furthermore, cervical lymph node involvement was recognized in the majority of aneuploid primary carcinomas (81.8%) but was largely lacking in diploid tumors (21.4%). Hence, the presence of aneuploid cell lines is clearly connected with clinical and histopathological parameters, each of which have turned out to worsen the prognosis in tongue carcinomas.
