Ongoing MRI remodeling 3-7 years after collagen meniscus implantation in stable knees. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2020; 28:1099-1104. [PMID: 31535191 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-019-05714-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological 3-7 years outcomes of patients who underwent collagen meniscus implantation in stable or stabilized knees. It was the hypothesis that using the collagen meniscus (CMI) good clinical 3-7 years outcomes with low pain levels are achieved. METHODS Thirty-nine patients (male:female = 30:9, mean age 34 ± 10 years) underwent arthroscopic CMI after subtotal medial (n = 32) or lateral meniscectomy (n = 7). A 7-mm CMI was performed due to prophylactic (n = 25) or therapeutic indication (n = 14). IKDC score, Tegner score preinjury, preoperatively and at follow-up, Lysholm score and visual analogue scale for pain and satisfaction (follow-up rate 90%) were assessed. MRI scans were analyzed according to the Genovese criteria (n = 19). Implant failure was defined as infection or mechanical failure of the device. The minimum follow-up time was 36 months (range 36-84 months). RESULTS The mean VAS satisfaction preoperatively and at follow-up was 4.0 ± 0 and 1.6 ± 1.0. The mean VAS pain was 4.3 ± 3.2 preoperatively and at last follow-up 2.1 ± 1.7. The median Tegner score preinjury was 7 (range 3-10), it decreased preoperatively to median 3.5 (range 1-8) and nearly reached the preinjury level at last follow-up 6 (range 3-10). The mean Lysholm score before surgery was 66 ± 20 and 91 ± 8 at last follow-up. Seven patients (38.9%) had a normal total IKDC score (A), 10 patients were nearly normal (B) and 1 patient slightly abnormal (C). In MRI the CMI was entirely resorbed in 4 patients (21%) and partially resorbed in 15 (79%). In 4 patients (21%) the CMI was isointense, in 14 (74%) slightly hyperintense and in 1 (5%) highly hyperintense. Ten patients (53%) showed marked signs of bone marrow edema. In 13 patients (68%) an extrusion of the meniscus > 3 mm at last follow-up was found. CONCLUSIONS Meniscal substitution with the CMI showed good to excellent clinical 3-7 results. The CMI shows an ongoing remodelling with decreased signal intensity and decreased size. However, as meniscus extrusion remained at the same level and bone marrow edema decreased from 1 year to longer term follow-up, it appears that the remodeling comes to an end at about 5 years after CMI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

One-year clinical and MR imaging outcome after partial meniscal replacement in stabilized knees using a collagen meniscus implant. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2013; 21:740-7. [PMID: 23108681 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-012-2259-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2012] [Accepted: 10/16/2012] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes after medial/lateral collagen meniscus substitution (CMI) at 12 months postoperatively. METHODS Sixty-seven patients (m:f = 47:20, mean age 36 ± 10 years) underwent arthroscopic CMI after previous subtotal medial (n = 55) or lateral meniscectomy (n = 12) due to persistent joint line pain (n = 25) or to prophylactic reasons (n = 42). Clinical follow-up consisted of IKDC score, Tegner score, Lysholm score, and visual analog scale for pain and satisfaction (preinjury, preoperatively, and 12 months postoperatively; follow-up rate 90 %). MRI scans were analyzed according to the Genovese criteria. RESULTS Nineteen patients (29 %) showed a normal (A), 35 nearly normal (B), 5 abnormal (C), and 1 patient severely abnormal total IKDC score (D). The median Tegner preinjury score was 7 (range 2-10) and at follow-up 6 (range 2-10). The mean Lysholm score before surgery was 68 ± 20 and 93 ± 9 at follow-up. Preoperatively, the mean VAS pain was 4.4 ± 3.1 and 2.0 ± 1.0 at follow-up. Clinical failure of the CMI occurred in 3 patients (n = 1 infection, n = 1 failure of the implant, n = 1 chronic synovitis). On MRI, the CMI was completely resorbed in 3 patients (5 %), partially resorbed in 55 (92 %), and entirely preserved in 3 (5 %) patients. In 5 patients (8 %) the CMI was isointense, in 54 (90 %) slightly and 1 (2 %) highly hyperintense. 43 (72 %) patients showed an extrusion of the CMI implant of more than 3 mm. CONCLUSIONS Significant pain relief and functional improvement throughout all scores at 1 year was noted. The CMI undergoes significant remodeling, degradation, resorption, and extrusion in most of the patients. No difference in outcomes between the medial and lateral CMI was observed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prospective therapeutic study, Level IV.

Abstract
We report a case of a 75 year old women with increasing deterioration of her general condition. We found a massive lymphadenopathy, an impressive exanthem and an elevation in leukocytes. After conducting a lymphnodebiopsy the diagnosis of an angioimmunoblastic T-Cell-Lymphoma was confirmed. Even with chemotherapy containing antracycline the prognosis of this disease is very poor. However this therapy couldn't be initiated because of the weak condition of the patient. She died a few days after hospitalisation.

Abstract
We manufactured a cell-free extracellular matrix scaffolds in order to obtain a support material for amnion cell outgrowth, eventually being used for repair of prematurely ruptured fetal membrane. Human preterm or term amnion tissue was separated into its collagenous extracellular matrix and cell components. The acellular scaffold was explored for its capacity to support regrowth of isolated human amnion epithelial or mesenchymal cells in vitro. The outgrowth of amnion cells on and in the scaffold was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Cell-free amnion matrix scaffolds demonstrated a porous collagen fiber network similar as in native amnion. Inoculation of acellular amnion scaffolds with human amnion cells revealed that its property to support amnion cell outgrowth was retained. Amnion epithelial and mesenchymal cells were found to grow into dense layers on the surface of the scaffold within 3-4 days and 7-8 days, respectively, and to some extent, invaded the scaffold during the culture period. Manufactured acellular amnion matrix retains structural and functional properties required for cell outgrowth in vitro. It may become useful to repair prematurely ruptured fetal membranes.

Abstract
The reference values of the most commonly used parameters in hematology were evaluated in a metaanalysis using practices of a group of major hospitals in Switzerland and in detail review of the literature. Extensive differences of the reference values have been noted being caused mainly by selection of different patient/control collectives. Whenever possible, reference values were separately evaluated for age, gender and race. The reported reference values approximated a Gauss distribution allowing for statistical evaluation accordingly. Due to recent standardization (ICSH and NCCLS), differences caused by instrumentation and preanalytics were found to be of less importance. Our presented validated reference values in hematology should allow for better discrimination of classical hematological disease entities such as an iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia and hemolysis.

Abstract
Despite modern technologies such as immunophenotyping and molecular probing cytomorphological examination of stained peripheral blood smears by microscopy remains the mainstay of diagnosis in a large variety of diseases. Although technically simple morphological analysis requires considerable skill. Early diagnosis in several hematological diseases is important (for example acute promyelocytic leukaemia associated frequently with disseminated intravascular coagulation), in order to initiate adjusted therapy. Further, referral of the patient to tertiary care centers is only justified after a solid diagnosis is obtained. Many disorders can be diagnosed by pathognomonic blood smears. The present article is a short overview of important hematological disorders, which are associated with blast cells in the peripheral blood. Important morphological cell characteristics are illustrated by microscopic pictures.

Abstract
The present article is written in an attempt to illustrate the ongoing diagnostic progress by presenting some examples of pre-existing and newly defined entities. The World Health Organisation proposed in 2001 a "Classification of Tumours of the Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues". Relying on the broadest consensus possible, it received high acclamation by both clinicians and pathologists. The approach is based on cell lineage assignment including morphology and immunophenotype, but also relies on cytogenetic and clinical features in order to define disease entities to an extent as far as possible. The diagnostic criteria for myeloid, lymphoid and histiocytic neoplasms have been compiled by an international group of 51 experts assembled in ten disease-related committees. In order to cover the interests of daily haematological practice, selected topics are focussed including chronic and acute myeloid neoplasias, precursor lymphoid neoplasias, mature B-, T- and NK-cell lymphomas, Hodgkin lymphoma as well as histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasias.

Abstract
Akute, schwere Hämolysen stellen einen lebensbedrohlichen Zustand dar. Die Diagnose ist mitunter schwierig, da durch die schwere Hämolyse oft auch Antikörper-Suchtests negativ werden oder aber Enzymaktivitäten, osmotische Resistenzen und so weiter nicht durchgeführt werden können wegen bereits stattgefundener Transfusionen. Der Ausschluss von Infektionserkrankungen oder dissemierter intravasaler Gerinnung gelingt meistens relativ einfach, während Hinweise für Intoxikationen durch eine genaue Umgebungsanamnese zu suchen sind. Hierfür sind entsprechende biochemische Bestätigungstests meist langwierig und brauchen entsprechend Zeit. Erschwerend waren in unserem Fall die negative, oder allenfalls ungenaue Familienanamnese und die Tatsache, dass es sich offensichtlich um die erste Episode handelte.

Abstract
Acetylation of nucleosomal histones is a major regulatory step during activation of eukaryotic gene expression. Among the known acetyltransferase (AT) families, the structure-function relationship of the GNAT superfamily is the most well understood. In contrast, less information is available regarding mechanistic and regulatory aspects of p300/CBP AT function. In this paper, we investigate in closer detail the structure and sequence requirements for p300/CBP enzymatic activity. Unexpectedly, we find that the PHD finger of p300, but not of CBP, is dispensable for AT activity. In order to identify residues involved in substrate or acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) recognition, we have introduced 19 different amino acid substitutions in segments that are highly conserved between animal and plant p300/CBP proteins. By performing acetylation reactions with histones, a p53 peptide or the AT domain itself, we define several residues required for histone and p53 substrate recruitment but not for acetyl-CoA binding. Finally, we show that identical mutations in the p300 and CBP AT domain impair AT activity differently. This latter result combined with the finding of a differential requirement for the PHD finger provides evidence for structural differences between p300 and CBP that may in part underlie a previously reported functional specialization of the two proteins.

Abstract
p300 and CBP participate as transcriptional coregulators in the execution of a wide spectrum of cellular gene expression programs controlling cell differentiation, growth and homeostasis. Both proteins act together with sequence-specific transcription factors to modify chromatin structure of target genes via their intrinsic acetyltransferase activity directed towards core histones and some transcription factors. So far, p300-related proteins have been described in animals ranging from Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans to humans. In this report, we describe p300/CBP-like polypeptides in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Interestingly, homology between animal and plant p300/CBP is largely restricted to a C-terminal segment, about 600 amino acids in length, which encompasses acetyltransferase and E1A-binding domains. We have examined whether this conservation in sequence is paralleled by a conservation in function. The same amino acid residues critical for acetyltransferase activity in human p300 are also critical for the function of one of the plant orthologs. Remarkably, plant proteins bind to the adenovirus E1A protein in a manner recapitulating the binding specificity of mammalian p300/CBP. The striking conservation of an extended segment of p300/CBP suggests that it may constitute a functional entity fulfilling functions that may be essential for all metazoan organisms.

Some, but not all, glycine substitution mutations in COL7A1 result in intracellular accumulation of collagen VII, loss of anchoring fibrils, and skin blistering. J Biol Chem 1998; 273:19228-34.

Abstract
COL7A1 gene mutations cause dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a skin blistering disorder. The phenotypes result from defects of collagen VII, the major component of the anchoring fibrils at the dermo-epidermal junction; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotypes remain elusive. We investigated naturally occurring COL7A1 mutations and showed that some, but not all, glycine substitutions in collagen VII interfered with biosynthesis of the protein in a dominant-negative manner. Three point mutations in exon 73 caused glycine substitutions G2006D, G2034R, and G2015E in the triple helical domain of collagen VII and interfered with its folding and secretion. Confocal laser scanning studies and semiquantitative immunoblotting determined that dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa keratinocytes retained up to 2.5-fold more procollagen VII within the rough endoplasmic reticulum than controls. Limited proteolytic digestions of mutant procollagen VII produced aberrant fragments and revealed reduced stability of the triple helix. In contrast, the glycine substitution G1519D in another segment of the triple helix affected neither procollagen VII secretion nor anchoring fibril function and remained phenotypically silent. These data demonstrate that collagen VII presents a remarkable exception among collagens in that not all glycine substitutions within the triple helix exert dominant-negative interference and that the biological consequences of the substitutions probably depend on their position within the triple helix.

Abstract
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous genodermatosis, characterized by trauma-induced blistering and healing without scarring but sometimes with skin atrophy. We investigated three unrelated patients with different JEB phenotypes. Patients 1 and 2 had generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB), with features including skin atrophy and alopecia. Patient 3 had the localisata variant of JEB, with predominantly acral blistering and normal hair. All patients carried novel homozygous point mutations (Q1016X, R1226X, and R1303Q) in the COL17A1 gene encoding collagen XVII, a hemidesmosomal transmembrane component; and, therefore, not only GABEB but also the localisata JEB can be a collagen XVII disorder. The nonsense mutations led to drastically reduced collagen XVII mRNA and protein levels. In contrast, the missense mutation allowed expression of abnormal collagen XVII, and epidermal extracts from that patient contained polypeptides of normal size, as well as larger aggregates. The homozygous nonsense mutations in the COL17A1 gene were consistent with the absence of the collagen from the skin and with the GABEB phenotype, whereas homozygosity for the missense mutation resulted in expression of aberrant collagen XVII and, clinically, in localisata JEB.
