Abstract
The CD146 (or MUC18/MEL-CAM) antigen is a cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Besides in melanoma, expression of CD146 antigen has been demonstrated in breast epithelia and hair follicles. We studied its expression by human keratinocytes in culture as well as in neoplastic and inflammatory skin diseases. Staining of primary cultured keratinocytes revealed expression of CD146 on the cell membrane, preferentially on cell-cell contact sites. Western blot analysis of keratinocytes detected a band of approximately 113 kDa, corresponding to the CD146 protein. In contrast to primary keratinocytes, neither CD146 protein nor mRNA expression was found in the keratinocyte-derived cell lines A431 and HaCaT. Treatment of keratinocytes with the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 and interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma, resulted in no change of CD146 expression and incubation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate led to a reduction of CD146 on keratinocytes. By contrast, when culturing keratinocytes in medium devoid of growth supplements, a distinct upregulation was observed as compared with culture in fully supplemented medium. In normal human epidermis expression of the CD146 antigen was not detectable. It was strongly upregulated, however, on suprabasal keratinocytes in psoriasis, in lichen planus, in the epidermis overlying skin neoplasms, and in viral warts. In squamous cell carcinomas and basal cell carcinomas only a minority of tumor cells expressed CD146. Our findings suggest that the CD146 antigen represents an activation marker of keratinocytes and may be involved in cutaneous inflammatory tissue reaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare, in a retrospective study, pathological specimens of prostate cancer detected in additional areas of a 12-core biopsy with tumours detected using traditional sextant biopsy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 27 patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer. Prostatectomy specimens of cancers detected using standard sextant biopsies were compared with those detected using six additional core biopsies. The RP specimens were analysed for cancer volume, Gleason score, tumour grade (Mostofi) and pathological stage. RESULTS Of the 27 patients, six (29%) had cancer detected in the extra six biopsy cores which would have otherwise have been undetected using sextant biopsy. Only two insignificant cancers were detected. The mean Gleason score was 6.1 for cancer detected by the sextant or 12-core method (P = 0.907); the mean grade (Mostofi) was 2.1 and 2. 33, respectively (P = 0.29). The final tumour stage in the 21 patients undergoing sextant biopsy was pT2 in 13 and pT3 in eight, compared with six pT2 tumours in the six patients diagnosed using extra biopsies. The mean (median, range) tumour volume was 5.7 (3.5, 0.312-23.75) mL for cancers detected on sextant biopsy and 1.99 (1. 85, 0.4-3.6) mL in the six cancers detected using extra cores (P = 0. 0138). CONCLUSION The detection of prostate cancer was increased using extra biopsy cores. There was a significant difference in tumour volume but not in Gleason score, Mostofi grade or final pathological tumour stage between tumours diagnosed using 12 cores and those detected on sextant biopsy.

Abstract
In a retrospective study on a set of 125 cases we compared the following three telepathology solutions for primary frozen section diagnosis: ATM-TP (connection via ATM), TPS 1.0 (connection via LAN) and TELEMIC (connection via Internet), which represent different concepts of telepathological procedures. A set of 125 routine frozen sections (breast) was selected from the Charité cases of the year 1999. Four experienced pathologists diagnosed retrospectively all of these cases using the ATM-TP and TPS systems and 53 of them with the TELEMIC system. Using the ATM-TP we recorded no false positive (0%), 4 false negative (3.2%) and 4 deferred (3.2%) cases. Using the TPS we recorded no false positive (0%), 4 false negative (3.2%) and 4 deferred (3.2%) cases. Using the TELEMIC we recorded in 53 cases no false positive (0%), no false negative (0%) and 16 deferred (30.2%) cases. The average time of 2.2 minutes per case using ATM-TP is also short enough for routine frozen section diagnostic. This is also true for the TPS system with 7.2 minutes per case.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided sextant biopsy technique, which puts more emphasis on the apical region of the prostate where most prostate carcinomas (PCs) develop, with the standard sextant biopsy technique. METHODS A total of 280 patients with suspected PC were included in this analysis. Twelve biopsy cores were obtained from all patients. Six biopsy cores were taken within a lateral parasagittal plane from each lobe at the apex, middle and basis, with an angle of approximately 45 degrees (technique A), and 6 further biopsy cores were taken from the left to the right lateral margin always penetrating the prostate in the apex with the same angle (socalled fan-shaped technique, technique B). Technique A predominantly samples in the sagittal and technique B samples more in the transversal plane with emphasis on the apical region where most PCs develop. The sensitivity in detecting PCs for both techniques was calculated and correlated to the serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. RESULTS A total of 72 PCs (25.7%) were diagnosed. We subsequently performed subgroup analysis depending on the serum PSA levels: in patients with a PSA of </=10 ng/ml (n = 27) technique A has a PC sensitivity of 88.8% (p = 0.037) and technique B 96.2% (p = 0.326) as compared to our reference standard of 100% by sampling 12 biopsy cores in the same prostate. The number of positive biopsy cores using technique B was superior in 12 cases as compared to 3 cases with technique A (p = 0.04). In 12 patients the number of positive biopsy cores was identically. In patients with a PSA of >10 ng/ml (n = 45) technique A has a PC sensitivity of 93.3% (p = 0.083) and technique B 88.8% (p = 0.023) as compared to our reference standard. The number of positive core biopsies using technique A was superior in 14 cases as compared to 12 with technique B (p = 0.154). In 19 patients the number of positive biopsies was identical. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that in patients with PSA of </=10 ng/ml technique B bring significant benefit with regard to the number of positive core biopsies, as well as an enhanced PC detection rate which is near the 12-core biopsy. Due to the fact that technique B samples more in the apical region where most cancers develop, it should be performed in suspected early stage cancers of the prostate (PSA</=10 ng/ml).

Abstract
We present clinical, pathological and molecular features of the first Austrian family with fatal familial insomnia. Detailed clinical data are available in five patients and autopsy in four patients. Age at onset of disease ranged between 20 and 60 years, and disease duration between 8 and 20 months. Severe loss of weight was an early symptom in all five patients. Four patients developed insomnia and/or autonomic dysfunction, and all five patients developed motor abnormalities. Analysis of the prion protein (PrP) gene revealed the codon 178 point mutation and methionine homozygosity at position 129. In all brains, neuropathology showed widespread cortical astrogliosis, widespread brainstem nuclei and tract degeneration, and olivary 'pseudohypertrophy' with vacuolated neurons, in addition to neuropathological features described previously, such as thalamic and olivary degeneration. Western blotting of one brain and immunocytochemistry in four brains revealed quantitative and regional dissociation between PrP(res)(the protease resistant form of PrP) deposition and histopathology. In the cerebellar cortex of one patient, PrP(res) deposits were prominent in the molecular layer and displayed a peculiar patchy and strip-like pattern with perpendicular orientation to the surface. In another patient, a single vacuolated neuron in the inferior olivary nuclei contained prominent intravacuolar granular PrP(res) deposits, resembling changes of brainstem neurons in bovine spongiform encephalopathy.

Abstract
Twelve patients receiving heparin during hemodialysis had coagulation parameters monitored using the whole blood clotting time (WBCT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), plasma heparin levels and activated whole blood clotting time (AWBCT). The AWBCT, performed with a battery-powered portable incubator/timer, correlated with both the corresponding WBCT and the plasma heparin levels. However, the correlation between the AWBCT and the APTT was quite poor. This assay is simply performed, inexpensive, and reproducible. It is recommended as an excellent method for monitoring heparin therapy.
