    Abstract Objective: We share our experience with extratemporal MRI-negative epilepsies that received "image-guided" resection with the use of neuronavigation after invasive presurgical video-EEG monitoring. We describe and discuss our technique of image generation, navigation system registration, and surgical resection. In addition, we evaluate seizure outcome with respect to the preoperatively planned versus achieved resection.
    Patients and methods: Seven patients with 3 T MRI-negative extratemporal epilepsy received navigation-guided resective surgery. The resection plan was based on electrophysiological data from intracranial EEG recordings. For each case a resection segment was created in the neuronavigation device in a systematic manner. We compared the preoperatively planned segment to the achieved resection and looked for correlation with postoperative seizure outcome according to Engel classification, at last follow-up (mean 2.4 years, range 1-4 years).
    Results: Mean volume of planned resections was 23.8 ± 15.3 cm
    Conclusion: The use of neuronavigation for planning and executing a tailored resection in MRI-negative extratemporal epilepsy is elaborate but can be an effective procedure.

    Title translation The effect of intensified training therapy on axial spondylarthritis in day care units.
    Abstract Background: Day care units are an essential part of psychiatric treatment in Germany. In rheumatology they are also regularly used. Axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease that causes pain, diminished quality of life, limitations in activities of daily living and ability to work, especially if insufficiently treated. The multimodal rheumatologic complex treatment with at least 14 days of inpatient care is an established tool to control exacerbated disease activity. The feasibility and effect of an equivalent treatment in a day care setting has not yet been evaluated.
    Methods: The effect of a therapy in a day care unit comparable to the inpatient multimodal rheumatologic complex treatment was investigated using clinically established patient reported outcomes (NAS pain, FFbH, BASDAI, BASFI).
    Results: Selected subgroups of axSpA patients can routinely and effectively be treated in day care units. Intensified multimodal as well as nonintensified treatment forms lead to reduced disease activity. Additionally, compared to nonintensified treatment, the intensified multimodal treatment approach leads to significantly reduced pain, and disease-related and functional limitations in daily life.
    Conclusion: If available, treatment in a day care unit can complement the established inpatient treatment modalities in selected axSpA patients. In cases with high disease activity and suffering, intensified multimodal treatment should be preferred due to better outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: Although gastrointestinal tract dysfunction is a common feature in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma), few studies have addressed the pathogenetic mechanisms of gastrointestinal tract involvement in SSc. We previously showed that severe fibrosis and increased expression of profibrotic cytokines are important hallmarks in the gastric wall of patients with SSc. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether immune and/or microvascular abnormalities may account for tissue damage in gastric wall specimens obtained from patients with SSc.
    Methods: Gastric biopsy samples from 27 patients with SSc and 15 healthy control subjects were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for CD45/leukocyte common antigen, CD3/T cells, CD4/T helper cells, CD8/cytotoxic T cells, CD20/B cells, CD14/monocytes, CD68/macrophages, cell adhesion molecules CD11a/lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), CD49d/very late activation antigen 4 (VLA-4), CD54/intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), CD106/vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), CD31/platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
    Results: T cell infiltration was a prominent finding in gastric specimens from patients with SSc. The CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio was significantly increased in SSc specimens compared with controls. T cells were found in both lymphocyte aggregates and diffuse infiltrates and strongly expressed the activation markers VLA-4, LFA-1, and ICAM-1. Endothelial cells showed corresponding surface activation with strong expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1. Mature B cells were frequently observed arranged in aggregates and rarely were seen in a diffuse pattern. Most lymphocyte aggregates lacked monocyte/macrophages. No difference in microvascular density was observed between SSc specimens and controls. Both SSc and control specimens showed weak or no expression of VEGF.
    Conclusion: Our findings provide the first evidence that endothelial/lymphocyte activation leading to prominent CD4+ T cell infiltration may play a key pathogenetic role within the gastric wall of patients with SSc and may represent an important therapeutic target.

    Abstract The recent introduction of a variety of techniques for removing T cells from bone marrow grafts has reduced the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-associated morbidity and mortality. Whether this advance will be translated into improved patient survival is unclear at present, mainly because these procedures increase the risk of graft failure. Since 1983 we have transplanted 25 consecutive leukemia patients with HLA-identical sibling grafts purged of T cells by a single incubation with the monoclonal antibody Campath-1 and donor complement. This approach was successful in reducing T cell contamination of the graft and preventing acute and chronic GVHD. In this group of patients two suffered irreversible graft failure and one developed reversible graft failure. In a similarly sized group of patients previously transplanted with unpurged marrow according to the Seattle protocol, no episodes of graft failure occurred. Since other causes of graft failure, such as drug toxicity or viral infections, could be largely excluded, this suggested that the graft failures were specifically related to the purging process. In haploidentical bone marrow transplantation (BMT) O'Reilly has identified residual host-versus-graft activity (HVG) as a cause of graft failure. The causes and mechanisms of graft failure in T-depleted HLA-identical sibling transplants have not been extensively investigated to date. In the three graft failures observed by us, the loss of the graft was preceded by the appearance of a population of activated lymphocytes. We have determined the phenotype and origin of this population and investigated its interactions with donor hemopoietic tissue in vitro.

    Abstract Temporal lobe epilepsy is characterized by hippocampal neuronal death in CA1 and hilus. Dentate gyrus granule cells survive but show dispersion of the compact granule cell layer. This is associated with decrease of the glycoprotein Reelin, which regulates neuron migration and dendrite outgrow. Reelin-deficient (reeler) mice show no layering, their granule cells are dispersed throughout the dentate gyrus. We studied granule cell dendritic orientation and distribution of postsynaptic spines in reeler mice and two mouse models of temporal lobe epilepsy, namely the p35 knockout mice, which show Reelin-independent neuronal migration defects, and mice with unilateral intrahippocampal kainate injection. Granule cells were Golgi-stained and analyzed, using a computerized camera lucida system. Granule cells in naive controls exhibited a vertically oriented dendritic arbor with a small bifurcation angle if positioned proximal to the hilus and a wider dendritic bifurcation angle, if positioned distally. P35 knockout- and kainate-injected mice showed a dispersed granule cell layer, granule cells showed basal dendrites with wider bifurcation angles, which lost position-specific differences. Reeler mice lacked dendritic orientation. P35 knockout- and kainate-injected mice showed increased dendritic spine density in the granule cell layer. Molecular layer dendrites showed a reduced spine density in kainate-injected mice only, whereas in p35 knockouts no reduced spine density was seen. Reeler mice showed a homogenous high spine density. We hypothesize that granule cells migrate in temporal lobe epilepsy, develop new dendrites which show a spread of the dendritic tree, create new spines in areas proximal to mossy fiber sprouting, which is present in p35 knockout- and kainate-injected mice and loose spines on distal dendrites if mossy cell death is present, as it was in kainate-injected mice only. These results are in accordance with findings in epilepsy patients.
