Abstract
Within the last 2 years the therapeutic landscape of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) has dramatically changed. While chemotherapy with docetaxel has only shown a survival benefit in CRPC patients in the last 10 years, in the meantime 4 approved drugs are available for this indication and approval for immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T is expected. Docetaxel still plays a significant role in the treatment of CRPC but is also a cesura in the therapeutic sequence. For asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, chemotherapy naive CRPC patients a significant survival benefit was shown for treatment with the androgen biosynthesis inhibitor abiraterone. Clinical data for the antiandrogen enzalutamide are expected shortly for this indication. For patients where docetaxel has failed abiraterone, enzalutamide and cabazitaxel have shown survival benefits in phase III trials. The radionuclide alpharadin not only palliated morbidity induced by bone metastases but also prolonged survival of CRPC patients. This review deals with the various drugs with respect to mode of action, clinical results and indications and will focus on new treatment options, such as targeted therapy with cabozantinib or immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T and prostvac.

Abstract
AIMS To determine whether antivirus and/or islet cell antibodies can be detected in healthy pregnant mothers without diabetes and/or their offspring at birth in two winter viral seasons. METHODS Maternal and cord blood sera from 107 healthy pregnant women were tested for islet cell autoantibodies using radioligand binding assays and for anti-rotavirus and anti-CoxB3 antibody using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)65 autoantibodies and rotavirus antibodies, present in both maternal and cord blood sera, correlated with an odds ratio of 6.89 (95% CI: 1.01-46.78). For five, 22 and 17 pregnancies, antibodies to GAD65, rotavirus and CoxB3, respectively, were detected in cord blood only and not in the corresponding maternal serum. In 10 pregnancies, rotavirus antibody titres in the cord blood exceeded those in the corresponding maternal serum by 2.5-5-fold. Increased antibody titres after the 20(th) week of gestation suggested CoxB3 infection in one of the 20 pregnancies and rotavirus in another. CONCLUSION The concurrent presence of GAD65 antibodies in cord blood and their mothers may indicate autoimmune damage to islet cells during gestation, possibly caused by cross-placental transmission of viral infections and/or antivirus antibodies. Cord blood antibody titres that exceed those of the corresponding maternal sample by >2.5-fold, or antibody-positive cord blood samples with antibody-negative maternal samples, may imply an active in utero immune response by the fetus.

Abstract
Within the evaluation process of living kidney donors, split renal function is usually evaluated by renal scintigraphy. Since split renal function measured by conventional posterior scans depends on the position of the kidney, actual suitable donors may be rejected because of an inaccurate examination technique. We report the case of a 28-year-old male living kidney donor. Due to a complex vascular anatomy of the right kidney, only his left kidney was considered eligible for transplantation. In conventional posterior Tc99m-mercapto-acetyltriglycine scintigraphy, the left kidney had a relative function of 60%. A second scintigraphy using anterior and posterior dimercaptosuccinic acid scans with calculation of the geometric mean showed an adapted relative function of the left kidney of 53%, now meeting the inclusion criteria for living kidney donation. This case shows that the geometric mean method using simultaneous anterior and posterior views obtained with a dual-head gamma camera can be a very helpful approach to determine split renal function of potential living kidney donors. Further investigation is necessary to prove the benefit of a general bilateral scan before living kidney donation.

Abstract
Patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma have a life-limiting prognosis. Therefore, the aim of therapy is normally palliative care. Nevertheless, substantial achievements have been made in the past years. Cytokines as long-term standard therapy have been more and more replaced by new targeted therapies. Sunitinib, the combination of bevacizumab+interferon alfa, pazopanib and temsirolimus are now approved for first-line therapy. Sunitinib and pazopanib can also be applied as second-line options - for pazopanib the use is restricted to cases of cytokine failure. Everolimus (after TKI therapy) and sorafenib (after cytokines) are other compounds available for second-line therapy. In addition, axitinib was recently approved for second-line therapy after failure of sunitinib or cytokines. For questions regarding the optimal sequence, first study results are now available from the phase III trial. The purpose of an interdisciplinary expert meeting held in 2012 was to debate upon which criteria should influence the therapy decision. The members discussed several aspects of treating patients with the disease. Results from the 2011 conference provided the basis for the 2012 meeting 1. As in previous years, the experts intended to provide common recommendations for clinical practice. The results of the 2012 conference are presented as short theses and a current therapy algorithm.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: MM-302 is a novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC) combining PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin with anti-HER2 scFvs. MM-302 was designed to overcome the limitations associated with using anthracyclines in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. Anthracyclines have been an effective backbone of breast cancer therapies for decades. However, cardiotoxicity issues associated with free anthracyclines have limited their effective use. While liposomal doxorubicin formulations have succeeded in reducing cardiotoxicity, they have failed to demonstrate clear-cut efficacy advantages. MM-302 specifically targets tumor cells overexpressing HER2 with minimal uptake into normal cells such as cardiomyocytes which express low levels of HER2. This Phase 1 study evaluates the safety of MM-302 in patients with HER2+ advanced breast cancer.
Methods: Patients aged ≥ 18 years with histologically confirmed HER2+ advanced breast cancer that have progressed or recurred on standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists having measurable disease, adequate performance status, bone marrow reserve and organ function, were eligible for the study. A post-treatment biopsy was required. A 3 + 3 dose escalation design (8, 16, 30, 40 and 50 mg/m2 administered i.v. q4w) is used to identify a Phase 2 dose followed by expansion arms at 40 and 50 mg/m2 for a preliminary indication of activity. Secondary endpoints included determination of dose-limiting toxicity, adverse event(s), and PK of MM-302, as well as overall response and clinical benefit rates of MM-302.
Results: We report data from MM-302 dose levels (30, 40 and 50 mg/m2 as monotherapy) that are expected to be therapeutically relevant. Eight patients dosed at presumed sub-therapeutic dose levels of 8 and 16 mg/m2 were excluded from the efficacy analysis. Patients had received a median of 9.5 prior agents (range 3-19) in all settings. All patients had been treated with trastuzumab, 96% with prior taxanes, 67% lapatinib, 54% anthracyclines and 33% T-DM1. At the time of this analysis (n = 27), overall response rate was 17% (4 out of 24 evaluable patients) and the estimated median Progression Free Survival (PFS) was 5.7 months, with six patients still receiving treatment. Eight patients (30%) had a PFS of greater than 6.0 months. Neutropenia was the most common treatment-related grade 3/4 toxicity and occurred in 15% of patients. The most common adverse events include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. Constipation, stomatitis, headache and rash were also observed in greater than 20% of patients. No patients discontinued treatment for toxicity. There was no protocol defined cardiotoxicity observed across all dose cohorts and five patients have had cumulative anthracycline exposure exceeding 550 mg/m2 without a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction.
Conclusion: Overall MM-302 appears to be well tolerated with promising activity in this ongoing trial. Further development is continuing combining MM-302 with trastuzumab and/or cyclophosphamide. In addition, we are evaluating the use of PET imaging to correlate liposomal tumor deposition as an additional potential patient preselection strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In elderly and multimorbid patients urosepsis is a particularly serious condition with a high mortality. Whether a secondary therapy for an underlying stone disease after -initial sepsis treatment improves the prognosis of these patients has not been systematically investigated. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical course of elderly and multimorbid patients with urosepsis regarding the frequency of rhospitalisation and sepsis recurrence after initial and subsequent therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with and without urolithiasis and urosepsis were compared. Inclusion criteria were multimorbidity, defined by an ASA score (≥2) or a Charlson score (≥3) and age (≥60 years), and general sepsis features. Both groups (patients with urolithiasis [U+] and patients without urolithiasis [U-]) did not differ in terms of demographic data. We investigated the influence of the primary sepsis therapy and secondary stone treatment on the incidence of rehospitalisation and sepsis recurrence rate. RESULTS The incidence of rehospitalisation in stone patients (U+) with and without therapy did not differ (22.1% vs. 21%), while the occurrence of urosepsis was lower in treated patients (0% vs. 8.7%). Rehospitalisation in stone patients was generally less common than in patients without urolithiasis (U+ 21.6%, U- 44.4%). Recurrences of sepsis were higher in patients without stone disease (U+ 4.35%, U- 8.9%). If the subpopulation with successful stone therapy was extracted from the U+ group, the difference disappeared (U+ 8.7%, U- 8.9%). CONCLUSIONS Stone treatment after initial urosepsis therapy reduces the incidence of recurrent sepsis (0% vs. 8.7%). Patients without underlying urolithiasis (U-) have a similar risk of sepsis recurrence as urolithiasis patients without secondary stone treatment. A complete stone clearance should be pursued in multimorbid or elderly patients with urosepsis to reduce secondary morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) the standard therapies carry a risk of overtreatment with potentially preventable side effects whereas restrained therapeutic strategies pose a risk of underestimation of the individual cancer risk. Alternative treatment options include thermal ablation strategies such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). PATIENTS AND METHODS 96 patients with low-risk PCa (D'Amico) were treated at 2 HIFU centres with different expertise (n=48, experienced centre Lyon/France; n=48 inexperienced centre Charité Berlin/Germany). Matched pairs were formed and analysed with regard to biochemical disease-free survival (BDFS) as well as postoperative functional parameters (micturition, erectile function). The matched pairs were discriminated as to whether they had received HIFU treatment alone or a combination of HIFU with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Patients of the Lyon group were retrospectively matched through the @-registry database whereas patients of the Berlin group were prospectively evaluated. In the latter patients quality of life assessment was additionally inquired. RESULTS Postoperative PSA-Nadir was lower in the Berlin group for patients with HIFU only (0.007 vs. Lyon 0.34 ng/ml; p=0.037) and HIFU+TURP (0.25 vs. Lyon 0.42 ng/ml; p=0.003). BDFS was comparable in both groups for HIFU only (Berlin 4.77, Lyon 5.23 years; p=0.741) but patients with combined HIFU+TURP in the Berlin group showed an unfavourable BDFS as compared to the Lyon group (Berlin 3.02, Lyon 4.59 years; p=0.05). In an analysis of Berlin subgroups especially patients who had received HIFU and TURP (n=4) within the same narcosis had an unfavourable BDFS (p=0.009). Median follow-up was 3.36 years for HIFU only and 2.26 years for HIFU+TURP. Neither HIFU only (p=0.117) nor HIFU+TURP (p=0.131) showed an impact on postoperative micturition. Erectile function was negatively influenced (HIFU: p=0.04; HIFU+TURP: p=0.036). There was no measurable change in quality of life after the treatment. CONCLUSION The 4-year BDFS after HIFU and HIFU+TURP is comparable to that of the standard therapies. The erectile function is sustainably negatively influenced whereas postoperative micturition and quality of life were not affected by HIFU or HIFU+TURP. These results are strongly limited by the low patient count and the short follow-up period and require validation in prospective multicentre studies with higher number of cases.

Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy is an integral part of the treatment of advanced and progressive prostate cancer. Various prospective randomised trials have investigated whether or not temporary suspension of androgen deprivation might delay the emergence of castration resistant prostate cancer and concomitantly improve quality of life. Until now, no phase III trial has been able to prove that intermittent androgen deprivation might delay the development of castration resistant tumours. Data from previous trials, except for one study, did at least not show adverse effects on survival. Data on quality of life are inconsistent, showing a trend towards improved quality of life with IAD. German as well as European guidelines reflect IAD as an established constituent of day-to-day medical practice. This review is intended to provide a code of practice for an individualised treatment as based on recently published studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Errors in administration of blood products can lead to poor patient outcomes including fatal ABO incompatible transfusions. This pilot study sought to establish whether the use of two-dimensional (2D) barcode technology combined with patient identification software designed to assist in blood administration improves the bedside administration of transfusions in an Australian tertiary hospital. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The study was conducted in a Haematology/Oncology Day Clinic of a major metropolitan hospital, to evaluate the use of 2D barcode technology and patient safety-software and hand-held PDAs to assist nursing staff in patient identification and blood administration. Comparative audits were conducted before and after the technology's implementation. RESULTS The preimplementation transfusion practice audits demonstrated a poor understanding of the blood checking process, with focus on the product rather than patient identification. Following the implementation of 2D barcode technology and patient safety-software, there was significant improvement in administration practice. Positive, verbal patient identification improved from 57% (51/90) to 94% (75/80). Similarly, the cross-referencing of the patient's identification with the patient's wristband improved from 36% (32/90) to 94% (75/80), and the cross-referencing of patient ID on the compatibility tag to wristbands improved from 48% (43/90) to 99% (79/80). Importantly, the 2D barcode technology and patient safety-software saw 100% (80/80) of checks being conducted at the patient bedside, compared with 76% (68/90) in the preimplementation audits. CONCLUSION This pilot study demonstrates that 2D barcode technology and patient safety-software significantly improves the bedside check of patient and blood product identification in an Australian setting.

Abstract
Targeted therapies such as sunitinib, pazopanib, bevacizumab, sorafenib and everolimus have become established as new therapeutic standards in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. New substances are going to complement these treatment options. Therefore, cytokines as long-term standard therapy are being more and more replaced. The achievements raise a lot of questions in clinical daily routine: Which criteria influence the decision for therapy? How can a remission be assessed when antiangiogenetic agents are administered? And last but not least, the optimal sequence remains a controversially discussed topic. Based on the current study situation, an interdisciplinary expert meeting was held to debate these aspects. Results from the 2010 conference provided the basis for the 2011 meeting. The results of the 2011 conference are presented as short theses.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive cancer with inferior survival outcomes. Although weekly paclitaxel (WP) is effective in the treatment (tx) of metastatic breast cancer (MBC), optimization of therapies for patients (pts) with TNBC is essential. Angiogenesis is a hallmark of advanced cancer, with subset analyses suggesting activity of angiogenesis inhibitors in TNBC. Tivozanib (TIVO) is a potent and selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) 1, 2, and 3 with a promising role in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and established safety in Phase I combination with WP in MBC.
Purpose: This Phase II trial will assess the efficacy and safety of TIVO + WP in the first-line setting for pts with advanced or metastatic TNBC and evaluate the performance of candidate angiogenesis biomarkers.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) of pts treated with TIVO + WP vs pts treated with placebo (PB) + WP. Secondary objectives include objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), safety and tolerability, quality of life, and correlative candidate biomarker endpoints. The pharmacokinetics of TIVO + WP also will be characterized.
Study Design and Methods: This multicenter, randomized, PB-controlled, two-arm study will enroll pts with metastatic or unresectable TNBC (evaluable per RECIST) and no prior systemic therapy. Pts must have confirmed available archival tumor tissue. Pts will be stratified by ECOG performance score and number of metastatic sites, then randomized to receive either oral TIVO 1.5 mg once daily for 3 weeks (wks) on/1 wk off and intravenous WP 90 mg/m2 for 3 wks on/1 wk off, or PB + WP. One cycle will be 4 wks; tx will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Archival tumor tissue and blood samples will be evaluated for response biomarkers, including a hypoxia sensitivity gene signature, a myeloid resistance gene signature, and angiogenic ligands. All pts will be followed for survival until death. Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study. Pharmacokinetic samples will be collected during cycles 1 and 2. PAM-50–defined intrinsic molecular subtype populations also will be evaluated retrospectively.
Recruitment of 130 patients is planned, with an interim analysis after 80 pts to measure ORR (130 pts with a total of 82 investigator-assessed PFS events provides 80% power to detect statistically significant PFS differences between tx arms). Endpoint analyses will use the intent-to-treat population. The primary efficacy analysis will use investigator assessments of response and a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the hazard ratio produced using Cox proportional hazards regression models. OS will be compared using the log-rank test. Analyses of candidate biomarkers and determination of an optimal predictive cutoff for response also are planned. Trial enrollment will commence in fall 2012.
Conclusion: This study will determine whether TIVO, a selective and potent VEGFR inhibitor, combined with WP improves clinical outcomes in pts with TNBC, and whether clinical activity is associated with candidate angiogenesis biomarkers.

Abstract
Ketone bodies serve as a source of energy and as precursors for lipid synthesis in developing brain. Neurons, astrocytes and oligodendroglia all have the necessary enzymes for metabolizing ketone bodies. In this in vivo study it was found that all three cell types were able to use ketone bodies as precursors for the synthesis of lipids with the fatty acids of phosphatidylcholine exhibiting the highest level of synthesis, followed by cholesterol and then the fatty acids of phosphatidylethanolamine. The conditions of hypoketonemia and hyperketonemia do not result in significant changes from control values, suggesting an exquisite balance between the use of glucose and ketone bodies in developing brain. There was an increase in cerebroside synthesis during the period of active myelination which appeared to have an earlier onset in the hyperthyroid animal. Thus ketone body usage as precursors for lipid synthesis is important during brain development.

Abstract
Electro-optic data-acquisition systems encode the output from voltage-history diagnostics onto optical signals. The optical signals can propagate long distances over fiber-optic links without degrading the bandwidth of the encoded signal while protecting the recording electronics from overvoltage damage. The sinusoidal response and tolerance to high-input voltages of the Mach-Zehnder modulator used for the encoding leads to the additional advantage of a high dynamic range and a reduced need for manually swapping attenuators. We have demonstrated a single-shot, electro-optic data-acquisition system with a 600:1 dynamic range. This system provides optical isolation and a bandwidth of 6 GHz. The prototype system uses multiple optical wavelengths to allow for the multiplexing of up to eight signals onto one photodetector.

Abstract
In clinical routine, the anti-hormone therapy for prostate cancer with drugs is monitored by regular control measurements of the PSA value. An increase in the PSA value is considered to be a first sign of progression and thus of failure of the therapy. In the case of hormone-sensitive prostate carcinoma this means that the first stage of castration resistance has been reached. The question as to the relationship between PSA progression and overall survival as the most important clinical endpoint has been evaluated retrospectively in 2 studies. Both were able to confirm the relationship. However, in a therapy comparison, e.g., in phase III studies, the PSA progression does not have a surrogate status since the currently available analyses do not allow the recognition of an unambiguous relationship between the therapeutic effect on PSA progression and overall survival.

Abstract
Thalidomide and the immunomodulatory drug, lenalidomide, are therapeutically active in hematological malignancies. The ubiquitously expressed E3 ligase protein cereblon (CRBN) has been identified as the primary teratogenic target of thalidomide. Our studies demonstrate that thalidomide, lenalidomide and another immunomodulatory drug, pomalidomide, bound endogenous CRBN and recombinant CRBN–DNA damage binding protein-1 (DDB1) complexes. CRBN mediated antiproliferative activities of lenalidomide and pomalidomide in myeloma cells, as well as lenalidomide- and pomalidomide-induced cytokine production in T cells. Lenalidomide and pomalidomide inhibited autoubiquitination of CRBN in HEK293T cells expressing thalidomide-binding competent wild-type CRBN, but not thalidomide-binding defective CRBNYW/AA. Overexpression of CRBN wild-type protein, but not CRBNYW/AA mutant protein, in KMS12 myeloma cells, amplified pomalidomide-mediated reductions in c-myc and IRF4 expression and increases in p21WAF-1 expression. Long-term selection for lenalidomide resistance in H929 myeloma cell lines was accompanied by a reduction in CRBN, while in DF15R myeloma cells resistant to both pomalidomide and lenalidomide, CRBN protein was undetectable. Our biophysical, biochemical and gene silencing studies show that CRBN is a proximate, therapeutically important molecular target of lenalidomide and pomalidomide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural orifice surgery (NOS) is now being elaborated with the aim to make abdominal surgery simpler and safer. In order to obtain women's perception of NOS and their willingness to consent to this type of approach a survey was conducted among female employees from surgical disciplines at the University Hospital Charité Berlin. MATERIAL AND METHODS A written description and information on minimally invasive surgery and the NOS concept were distributed among 500 female physicians and nursing staff along with a 14-item questionnaire. Of the staff members 118 participants completed the questionnaire anonymously. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 16.0. RESULTS With regard to ovarectomy 55% of women surveyed indicated that they would prefer a transvaginal approach to standard laparoscopy (44%) or a transgastric approach (1%). When asked about preferred access for cholecystectomy only 31% would prefer the transvaginal method compared to 61% for the laparoscopic technique. Objections against the transvaginal access concerned the impact on a healthy sexual life and effects on fertility. Reasons for choosing NOS were no wound pain and no scar. CONCLUSION This survey shows that among the surveyed female medical employees the transvaginal approach is associated with concerns and fears but these are not justifiable, as the transvaginal access has been used for more than 100 years for gynecological purposes. There is a strong need for outcome data to enlighten female patients and to help guide physicians when talking to patients regarding NOS and the transvaginal approach.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The efficacy of the pro-drug capecitabine (C) may be affected by the expression of thymidylate synthase (TYMS) and thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP), respectively the target and the activating enzyme of C, as well as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) that provides a key intermediate.
Method: In this retrospective study, expression and gene copy number (GCN) of the above enzymes were assessed and correlated with time-to progression (TTP) and progression-free survival (PFS) of adult female patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer and locally advanced or metastatic disease treated with C 1000 mg/m2 BID days 1–14 of a 21-day cycle. TYMS, TYMP and DHFR GCN were scored using custom made FISH probes (Dako, Denmark) in at least 60 morphologically intact non-overlapping nuclei. FISH markers dichotomized as high/low by the median were correlated with TTP and PFS using Cox proportional hazard models in 65, 57 and 24 patients for TYMS, TYMP and DHFR probes respectively. Gene expression was analyzed using the whole genome cDNA-mediated annealing, selection extension and ligation (DASL) platform on total RNA extracted from FFPE tissue samples and correlated with TTP and PFS using Cox models in 75 patients. Correlations between GCN and expression were measured using both Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients.
Results: Our interim results (ASCO 2011) showed that higher TYMS GCN was significantly associated with both decreased TTP (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.07 to 2.90, p=0.026) and PFS (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.14 to 3.04, p=0.036) in the overall patient population. We now observe 1) a statistically significant positive correlation between TYMS GCN and expression (Pearson 0.26, p=0.049; Spearman 0.25, p=0.056); 2) a trend towards worse outcome with higher TYMS expression in a) the overall population (TTP-HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.64, p=0.148), b) in ER+ patients (TTP-HR 1.46, 95% CI 0.97 to 2.19, p=0.07) as well as in c) HER2− patients (TTP-HR 1.17, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.61, p=0.343), 3) a statistically significant association between higher TYMP expression and longer PFS, but not TTP in ER+ and HER2− patients (table).
Discussion: Our ASCO 2011 analysis showed that high TYMS GCN is predictive of poor outcome in ER+ and HER2− patients, consistent with the fact it is the target of C. Here, we show that 1) expression of TYMS is significantly correlated with GCN 2) higher TYMS expression demonstrates the same trend towards poor outcome in ER+ and HER2− patients as in FISH, 3) higher TYMP expression is significantly associated with longer PFS in ER+ and HER2−patients, consistent with its C activating role. Differential sensitivity between FISH and DASL might be explained by the fact that DASL is performed in a pool of RNA coming from many cellular types, whereas FISH is scored selectively in tumor cells. These findings suggest that TYMS and TYMP GCN and expression can be useful predictive markers of C sensitivity in human breast cancer.

Abstract
Degeneration of articular cartilage begins from deterioration of the collagen fibres in the superficial zone. Standard histology using 2D imaging technique is often used to determine the microstructure of collagen fibres and the physiological functions of articular cartilage. However, information of the 3D collageneous structure in the cartilage could be lost and misinterpreted in 2D observations. In contrast, confocal microscopy permits studying the 3D internal structure of bulk articular cartilage with minimal physical disturbing. Using fibre optic laser scanning confocal microscopy, a 3D histology has been previously developed to visualize the collagen matrix in the superficial zone by means of identifying the early arthritic changes in articular cartilage. In this study, we characterized the collagen orientation in the superficial zone of normal cartilage, the cartilage with surface disruption and fibrillated cartilage using Fast Fourier transforms and power spectral analysis techniques. Thus, we have established an objective method for assessing the early pathology changes in the articular cartilage.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a novel Laser Scanning Confocal Arthroscope (LSCA) for the morphological quantification of articular cartilage chondrocytes. Healthy and debrided regions of the knee articular cartilage of six (6) New Zealand White rabbits were imaged during open follow-up surgery. Quantitative morphological analysis of chondrocyte cell populations was performed and compared to known parameters. Optical histology images were compared to conventional histology of similar sites. Optical histology revealed viable cells in normal hyaline cartilage tissue and enabled the visualization of fibro-cartilage in defect tissue. Morphological analysis was able to characterize the in vivo two-dimensional equivalent-area-diameter of chondrocytes. Significant differences (P<0.05) were seen between the morphology of chondrocytes observed in optical and conventional histology. This study concludes that the LSCA is capable of illustrating the surface and sub-surface appearance of healthy and defect articular cartilage, thereby providing a non-destructive method for assessing cartilage condition in vivo. In this role the LSCA may find application in the investigation of cartilage pathologies or repair techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Onabotulinumtoxin A (OnaBoNT/A, Botox®) is effective in the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity, however this therapy can fail. In a prospective study, we analyzed patient serum for BoNT/A antibodies (BoNT/A-AB) as a possible cause of therapy failure. METHODS 17 patients (average age 14.5 years) who had neurogenic detrusor overactivity were admitted for repeated OnaBoNT/A injection into the detrusor muscle. We analyzed their serum for BoNT/A-AB. The clinical findings were correlated with the incidence of BoNT/A-AB. RESULTS Positive BoNT/A-AB were clearly or marginally determined in 6 patients. Therapy had failed in all 6. In 4 of the 6, therapy might have failed because of a low-compliance bladder (3 patients) or tethered-cord syndrome (1), but BoNT/A-AB were found as the only possible cause in 2 patients. Thus, the incidence of BoNT/A-AB in the 17 patients was 35%, and the antibodies were clinically significant in 12%. All patients with BoNT/A-AB had a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. CONCLUSIONS Patients who show a failure of therapy after OnaBoNT/A injections for which no other causes can be determined should have their serum checked for BoNT/A-AB. Recurrent urinary tract infection might be a predisposing factor for BoNT/A-AB.
