Abstract
Proton radioactivity was discovered exactly 50 years ago. First, this nuclear decay mode sets the limit of existence on the nuclear landscape on the neutron-deficient side. Second, it comprises fundamental aspects of both quantum tunnelling as well as the coupling of (quasi)bound quantum states with the continuum in mesoscopic systems such as the atomic nucleus. Theoretical approaches can start either from bound-state nuclear shell-model theory or from resonance scattering. Thus, proton-radioactivity guides merging these types of theoretical approaches, which is of broader relevance for any few-body quantum system. Here, we report experimental measurements of proton-emission branches from an isomeric state in 54mNi, which were visualized in four dimensions in a newly developed detector. We show that these decays, which carry an unusually high angular momentum, ℓ = 5 and ℓ = 7, respectively, can be approximated theoretically with a potential model for the proton barrier penetration and a shell-model calculation for the overlap of the initial and final wave functions. Proton radioactivity is useful for studying nuclear structure. Here the authors report two proton emission branches from the 10+ state isomer of 54mNi by using a time projection chamber.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade several ECM components and are crucial modulators of cell invasion and tissue organization. Although much has been reported about their function in remodeling ECM in health and disease, their trafficking across the Golgi apparatus remains poorly understood. Here we report that the cis-Golgi protein nucleobindin-1 (NUCB1) is critical for MMP2 and MT1-MMP trafficking along the Golgi apparatus. This process is Ca2+-dependent and is required for invasive MDA-MB-231 cell migration as well as for gelatin degradation in primary human macrophages. Our findings emphasize the importance of NUCB1 as an essential component of MMP transport and its overall impact on ECM remodeling.

Abstract
We studied the proton-rich T_{z}=-1 nucleus ^{70}Kr through inelastic scattering at intermediate energies in order to extract the reduced transition probability, B(E2;0^{+}→2^{+}). Comparison with the other members of the A=70 isospin triplet, ^{70}Br and ^{70}Se, studied in the same experiment, shows a 3σ deviation from the expected linearity of the electromagnetic matrix elements as a function of T_{z}. At present, no established nuclear structure theory can describe this observed deviation quantitatively. This is the first violation of isospin symmetry at this level observed in the transition matrix elements. A heuristic approach may explain the anomaly by a shape change between the mirror nuclei ^{70}Kr and ^{70}Se contrary to the model predictions.

Abstract
Seizure protein 6 (SEZ6) is required for the development and maintenance of the nervous system, is a major substrate of the protease BACE1 and is linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and psychiatric disorders, but its molecular functions are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that SEZ6 controls glycosylation and cell surface localization of kainate receptors composed of GluK2/3 subunits. Loss of SEZ6 reduced surface levels of GluK2/3 in primary neurons and reduced kainate-evoked currents in CA1 pyramidal neurons in acute hippocampal slices. Mechanistically, loss of SEZ6 in vitro and in vivo prevented modification of GluK2/3 with the human natural killer-1 (HNK-1) glycan, a modulator of GluK2/3 function. SEZ6 interacted with GluK2 through its ectodomain and promoted post-endoplasmic reticulum transport of GluK2 in the secretory pathway in heterologous cells and primary neurons. Taken together, SEZ6 acts as a new trafficking factor for GluK2/3. This novel function may help to better understand the role of SEZ6 in neurologic and psychiatric diseases.

Abstract
The TGN is a key compartment for the sorting and secretion of newly synthesized proteins. At the TGN, soluble proteins are sorted based on the instructions carried in their oligosaccharide backbones or by a Ca2+-mediated process that involves the cargo-sorting protein Cab45. Here, we show that Cab45 is phosphorylated by the Golgi-specific protein kinase Fam20C. Mimicking of phosphorylation translocates Cab45 into TGN-derived vesicles, which goes along with an increased export of LyzC, a Cab45 client. Our findings demonstrate that Fam20C plays a key role in the export of Cab45 clients by fine-tuning Cab45 oligomerization and thus impacts Cab45 retention in the TGN.

Abstract
A record number of ^{100}Sn nuclei was detected and new isotopic species toward the proton dripline were discovered at the RIKEN Nishina Center. Decay spectroscopy was performed with the high-efficiency detector arrays WAS3ABi and EURICA. Both the half-life and the β-decay end point energy of ^{100}Sn were measured more precisely than the literature values. The value and the uncertainty of the resulting strength for the pure 0^{+}→1^{+} Gamow-Teller decay was improved to B_{GT}=4.4_{-0.7}^{+0.9}. A discrimination between different model calculations was possible for the first time, and the level scheme of ^{100}In is investigated further.

Abstract
How the principal functions of the Golgi apparatus-protein processing, lipid synthesis, and sorting of macromolecules-are integrated to constitute cargo-specific trafficking pathways originating from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is unknown. Here, we show that the activity of the Golgi localized SPCA1 calcium pump couples sorting and export of secreted proteins to synthesis of new lipid in the TGN membrane. A secreted Ca2+-binding protein, Cab45, constitutes the core component of a Ca2+-dependent, oligomerization-driven sorting mechanism whereby secreted proteins bound to Cab45 are packaged into a TGN-derived vesicular carrier whose membrane is enriched in sphingomyelin, a lipid implicated in TGN-to-cell surface transport. SPCA1 activity is controlled by the sphingomyelin content of the TGN membrane, such that local sphingomyelin synthesis promotes Ca2+ flux into the lumen of the TGN, which drives secretory protein sorting and export, thereby establishing a protein- and lipid-specific secretion pathway.

Abstract
The accurate and efficient delivery of proteins to specific domains of the plasma membrane or to the extracellular space is critical for the ordered function of surface receptors and proteins such as insulin, collagens, antibodies, extracellular proteases. The trans-Golgi network is responsible for sorting proteins onto specific carriers for transport to their final destination. The role of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor in the sorting of hydrolases destined for lysosomes has been studied extensively, but the sorting mechanisms for secreted proteins remains poorly understood. We recently described a novel process that links the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton to the membrane-anchored Ca2+ ATPase SPCA1 and the lumenal Ca2+-binding protein Cab45, which mediates sorting of a subset of secretory proteins at the TGN. In response to Ca2+ influx, Cab45 forms oligomers, enabling it to bind a variety of specific cargo molecules. Thus, we suggest that this represents a novel way to export cargo molecules without the need for a bona fide transmembrane cargo receptor. This review focuses on Cab45's molecular function and highlights its possible role in disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reconstruction of metacarpal- and interphalangeal joints after severe hand injuries has been proven to be challenging. Commonly used procedures like arthrodesis, amputation or ray resection of the finger compromise the functionality of the injured finger. Especially for young patients, the restoration of all functions of the fingers is a priority. Local tissue transfers for finger joint reconstructions is not an option due to inacceptable donor site morbidity; microsurgical tissue transfers in terms of free toe joint transfers have proven to be a valuable method. METHODS We present the case of a patient who suffered an excessive injury from a circular saw to his dominant hand. The MCP Joints of D2-D4 were fully destroyed, along with the PIP joint of a subtotally amputated D4. Arteries, nerves and tendons could be coapted directly, while primarily reconstructing of the finger joints was impossible. To ensure a possible regain of full functionality, two coherent joints, the MTP and the PIP of one toe, were transferred to the ring finger as a single transplant, reconstructing the MCP and the PIP joints of the injured finger in a one step procedure. Additionally the MCP joint of the D2 was reconstructed by the use of a free PIP-joint transfer, further the MCP joint of the D3 was replaced by an MCP endoprosthesis. RESULTS After a follow up of 3 years the patient displayed full function of his dominant hand including sensitivity, and has gone back to manual work without limitations. The result was cosmetically acceptable and the donor site defect was easily being tolerated by the patient who is playing soccer in the regional soccer league. CONCLUSION Free double toe joint transfer has been proven feasible in this patient. While transferring a single toe joint to reconstruct a finger joint is a well-established method, our review of the latest literature showed no case of a free transfer of two coherent joints and three transplanted joints in one hand. The applied microsurgical technique should be considered by microsurgically trained hand surgeons for the treatment of comparable severe hand injuries. In comparison to the most common procedures described for the repair and reconstruction of severely injured finger joints this method showed superior results.

Abstract
In an experiment with the BigRIPS separator at the RIKEN Nishina Center, we observed two-proton (2p) emission from ^{67}Kr. At the same time, no evidence for 2p emission of ^{59}Ge and ^{63}Se, two other potential candidates for this exotic radioactivity, could be observed. This observation is in line with Q value predictions which pointed to ^{67}Kr as being the best new candidate among the three for two-proton radioactivity. ^{67}Kr is only the fourth 2p ground-state emitter to be observed with a half-life of the order of a few milliseconds. The decay energy was determined to be 1690(17) keV, the 2p emission branching ratio is 37(14)%, and the half-life of ^{67}Kr is 7.4(30) ms.

Abstract
Crevenna et al. examine the mechanism by which secretory cargoes are segregated at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) for release into the extracellular space. The authors demonstrate that Ca2+-dependent changes in Cab45 oligomerization mediate sorting of specific cargo molecules at the TGN. Sorting and export of transmembrane cargoes and lysosomal hydrolases at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) are well understood. However, elucidation of the mechanism by which secretory cargoes are segregated for their release into the extracellular space remains a challenge. We have previously demonstrated that, in a reaction that requires Ca2+, the soluble TGN-resident protein Cab45 is necessary for the sorting of secretory cargoes at the TGN. Here, we report that Cab45 reversibly assembles into oligomers in the presence of Ca2+. These Cab45 oligomers specifically bind secretory proteins, such as COMP and LyzC, in a Ca2+-dependent manner in vitro. In intact cells, mutation of the Ca2+-binding sites in Cab45 impairs oligomerization, as well as COMP and LyzC sorting. Superresolution microscopy revealed that Cab45 colocalizes with secretory proteins and the TGN Ca2+ pump (SPCA1) in specific TGN microdomains. These findings reveal that Ca2+-dependent changes in Cab45 mediate sorting of specific cargo molecules at the TGN.

Abstract
Several new isotopes, ^{96}In, ^{94}Cd, ^{92}Ag, and ^{90}Pd, have been identified at the RIKEN Nishina Center. The study of proton drip-line nuclei in the vicinity of ^{100}Sn led to the discovery of new proton emitters ^{93}Ag and ^{89}Rh with half-lives in the submicrosecond range. The systematics of the half-lives of odd-Z nuclei with T_{z}=-1/2 toward ^{99}Sn shows a stabilizing effect of the Z=50 shell closure. Production cross sections for nuclei in the vicinity of ^{100}Sn measured at different energies and target thicknesses were compared to the cross sections calculated by epax taking into account contributions of secondary reactions in the primary target.

Abstract
We report the observation of a very exotic decay mode at the proton drip line, the β-delayed γ-proton decay, clearly seen in the β decay of the T_{z}=-2 nucleus ^{56}Zn. Three γ-proton sequences have been observed after the β decay. Here this decay mode, already observed in the sd shell, is seen for the first time in the fp shell. Both γ and proton decays have been taken into account in the estimation of the Fermi and Gamow-Teller strengths. Evidence for fragmentation of the Fermi strength due to strong isospin mixing is found.

Abstract
The two protons emitted in the decay of 54Zn have been individually observed for the first time in a time projection chamber. The total decay energy and the half-life measured in this work agree with the results obtained in a previous experiment. Angular and energy correlations between the two protons are determined and compared to theoretical distributions of a three-body model. Within the shell model framework, the relative decay probabilities show a strong contribution of the p2 configuration for the two-proton emission. After 45Fe, the present result on 54Zn constitutes only the second case of a direct observation of the ground state two-proton decay of a long-lived isotope.

Abstract
The decay of the ground-state two-proton emitter 45Fe was studied with a time-projection chamber and the emission of two protons was unambiguously identified. The total decay energy and the half-life measured in this work agree with the results from previous experiments. The present result constitutes the first direct observation of the individual protons in the two-proton decay of a long-lived ground-state emitter. In parallel, we identified for the first time directly two-proton emission from 43Cr, a known beta-delayed two-proton emitter. The technique developed in the present work opens the way to a detailed study of the mechanism of ground state as well as beta-delayed two-proton radioactivity.

Abstract
Gamma rays deexciting states in the proton emitter 145Tm were observed using the recoil-decay tagging method. The 145Tm ground-state rotational band was found to exhibit the properties expected for an h{11/2} proton decoupled band. In addition, coincidences between protons feeding the 2{+} state in 144Er and the 2{+}-->0{+} gamma-ray transition were detected, the first measurement of this kind, leading to a more precise value for the 2{+} excitation energy of 329(1) keV. Calculations with the particle-rotor model and the core quasiparticle coupling model indicate that the properties of the pi{11/2} band and the proton-decay rates in 145Tm are consistent with the presence of triaxiality with an asymmetry parameter gamma approximately 20 degrees .

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The indications for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) are mainly established in hostile abdomen, in patients with significant comorbidities which affect the general operability of the patient and, given the necessary infrastructure, also in ruptured aneurysm. Along to those, we present another possible indication in the presence of a kidney allograft in patients with aortic aneurysm. METHODS Based on a case report of aorto-biiliac stent-graft repair of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm in a patient with renal allograft, a systematic review of the literature was performed of all similar cases concerning surgical therapy in this constellation. RESULTS EVAR was performed using an aorto-biiliac system (Zenith) Trifab, COOK) in a 61-year-old male patient 11 years after heterotopic renal allotransplantation in the right iliac fossa. Preoperative renal function was normal. Because the donor renal artery was anastomosed to the recipient's external iliac artery the stent-graft was implanted from the left common femoral artery to minimize temporary allograft ischemia. The intra- and postoperative course was uneventful with a follow-up of presently 12 months. A primary type-II endoleak (retroleak from a lumbar artery) is being treated conservatively so far with embolization being a future option. At present there are 15 cases of EVAR in renal allograft patients that have been reported, all of them being successful. DISCUSSION All data existing in the literature reported to date as well as our own experience justify the first choice of EVAR in morphologically suitable cases. One major advantage of EVAR in this constellation is the avoidance of aortic cross clamping which poses the graft at risk of ischemia. Long-term results will be most important for definite assessment of EVAR. However, contrast media application during the operation and for CT surveillance should be considered as a major disadvantage.

Abstract
Ramsey's method of separated oscillatory fields is applied to the excitation of the cyclotron motion of short-lived ions in a Penning trap to improve the precision of their measured mass values. The theoretical description of the extracted ion-cyclotron-resonance line shape is derived and its correctness demonstrated experimentally by measuring the mass of the short-lived 38Ca nuclide with an uncertainty of 1.1 x 10(-8) using the Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at CERN. The mass of the superallowed beta emitter 38Ca contributes for testing the theoretical corrections of the conserved-vector-current hypothesis of the electroweak interaction. It is shown that the Ramsey method applied to Penning trap mass measurements yields a statistical uncertainty similar to that obtained by the conventional technique but 10 times faster. Thus the technique is a new powerful tool for high-precision mass measurements.

Abstract
The nucleus 54Zn has been observed for the first time in an experiment at the SISSI/LISE3 facility of GANIL in the quasifragmentation of a 58Ni beam at 74.5 MeV/nucleon in a (nat)Ni target. The fragments were analyzed by means of the ALPHA-LISE3 separator and implanted in a silicon-strip detector where correlations in space and time between implantation and subsequent decay events allowed us to generate almost background free decay spectra for about 25 different nuclei at the same time. Eight 54Zn implantation events were observed. From the correlated decay events, the half-life of 54Zn is determined to be 3.2(+1.8)(-0.8) ms. Seven of the eight implantations are followed by two-proton emission with a decay energy of 1.48(2) MeV. The decay energy and the partial half-life are compared to model predictions and allow for a test of these two-proton decay models.

Abstract
Mass measurements of 68Ge, 68As, and 68Se have been obtained with the Canadian Penning Trap mass spectrometer. The results determine the mass excess of 68Se as -54 232(19) keV, the first measurement with a precision and reliability sufficient to address the light-curve and energy output of x-ray bursts as well as the abundances of the elements synthesized. Under typical conditions used for modeling x-ray bursts, 68Se is found to cause a significant delay in the rp process nucleosynthesis.

Abstract
A new isomeric 0(+) state was identified as the first excited state in the self-conjugate (N=Z) nucleus 72Kr. By combining for the first time conversion-electron and gamma-ray spectroscopy with the production of metastable states in high-energy fragmentation, the electric-monopole decay of the new isomer to the ground state was established. The new 0(+) state is understood as the band head of the known prolate rotational structure, which strongly supports the interpretation that 72Kr is one of the rare nuclei having an oblate-deformed ground state. This observation gives in fact the first evidence for a shape isomer in a N=Z nucleus.

Abstract
In an experiment at the SISSI-LISE3 facility of GANIL, the decay of the proton drip line nucleus 45Fe has been studied. Fragment-implantation events have been correlated with radioactive decay events in a 16x16 pixel silicon-strip detector. The decay-energy spectrum of 45Fe implants shows a distinct peak at (1.14+/-0.04) MeV with a half-life of T(1/2)=(4.7(+3.4)(-1.4)) ms. None of the events in this peak is in coincidence with beta particles. For a longer correlation interval, daughter decays of the two-proton daughter 43Cr can be observed after 45Fe implantation. The decay energy for 45Fe agrees nicely with several theoretical predictions for two-proton radioactivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in cardiac function, eg, arrhythmias and congestive heart failure, often accompany thyrotoxicosis. A relationship between thyroid hormone excess and the cardiac complications of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction (MI) remains largely speculative. METHODS The results of thyroid function studies on blood samples drawn from a total of 1049 patients (aged 40 years or older) immediately on emergency medical admission were related to frequencies of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction as determined according to current diagnostic algorithms. After 3 years, those patients who had initially presented with angina pectoris or acute MI were observed for subsequent coronary events; of these (n=185), 98% of the subjects (n=181) could be reevaluated. RESULTS On hospital admission, the relative rate of angina pectoris and MI was markedly high (odds ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-5.2; P=.007) in patients with elevated serum free and total triiodothyronine (T(3)) levels. An initially elevated free T(3) level was a risk factor for subsequent coronary events during the 3-year follow-up (adjusted odds ratio, 4.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-17.4; P=.02). CONCLUSIONS An elevation of serum free T(3) levels at hospital admission is associated with a 2.6-fold greater likelihood of the presence of a coronary event. Moreover, an initially elevated T(3) level is associated with a 3-fold higher risk of developing a subsequent coronary event during the next 3 years. Excess T(3) seemed to be a factor associated with the development and progression of acute myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
In an experiment at the SISSI/LISE3 facility of GANIL, we used the projectile fragmentation of a primary 58Ni26+ beam at 74.5 MeV/nucleon with an average current of 3 &mgr;A on a natural nickel target to produce very neutron-deficient isotopes. In a 10-day experiment, 287 42Cr isotopes, 53 45Fe isotopes, 106 49Ni isotopes, and 4 48Ni isotopes were unambiguously identified. The doubly magic nucleus 48Ni, observed for the first time, is the most proton-rich isotope ever identified with an isospin projection T(z) = -4. It is probably the last doubly magic nucleus with "classical" shell closures accessible for present-day facilities. Its observation allows us to deduce a lower limit for the half-life of 48Ni of 0.5 &mgr;s.

Abstract
The structure of the halo nucleus 11Be has been studied using the reaction 9Be(11Be,10Be+gamma)X at 60 MeV/nucleon. The ground state structure of 11Be is determined by comparing the experimental cross sections to a calculation combining spectroscopic factors from the shell model with l-dependent single-particle cross sections obtained in an eikonal model. This experiment shows the dominant 1s single-particle character of the 11Be ground state and indicates a small contribution of 0d admixture in the wave function. After correction for the approximately 22% intensity to excited levels, a clean and precise distribution of parallel momentum for knockout from the 1s halo wave function is obtained for the first time.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compared the efficacy and safety of once daily controlled and immediate release oxybutynin for incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active control, parallel study was designed to evaluate urge urinary incontinence episodes using a 7-day diary. RESULTS A total of 97 women and 8 men 34 to 76 years old with urge incontinence or mixed incontinence with a clinically significant urge component were enrolled in the study. The number of weekly urge incontinence episodes decreased from 27.4 to 4.8 after controlled and from 23.4 to 3.1 after immediate release oxybutynin (p = 0.56), and total incontinence episodes decreased from 29.3 to 6 and from 26.3 to 3.8, respectively (p = 0.6). Weekly urge incontinence episodes from baseline to end of study also decreased to 84% after controlled and 88% after immediate release oxybutynin (p = 0.7). Continence was achieved in 41% of the controlled and 40% of the immediate release group (p = 0.9). Dry mouth of any severity was reported by 68 and 87% of the controlled and immediate release groups, respectively (p = 0.04), and moderate or severe dry mouth occurred in 25 and 46%, respectively (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Participants taking a single daily does of controlled release oxybutynin had similar reductions in urge incontinence and total incontinence episodes compared to those taking oxybutynin 1 to 4 times daily. A lower incidence of dry mouth was reported for controlled release oxybutynin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An attempt was made to determine whether measurement of the systolic pressure with the Doppler ultrasonic technique can be used to detect occlusions of the digital arteries. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 92 patients (44 women, 48 men) with an average age of 47.5 years (range: 19-82 years) were investigated. Of these, 17 were diagnosed with a primary Raynaud's syndrome, 45 with a secondary, and 5 patients with a suspected secondary Raynaud's syndrome; 25 patients had digital occlusions of varying genesis. In all patients, the Doppler ultrasonic technique was applied to measure the systolic pressure of the digital arteries of both hands at a room temperature of 21-24 degrees Celsius without any additional thermal (warm or cold) provocation or use of vasodilatory agents; the results obtained were compared with arteriographs of the hands. RESULTS While the sensitivity of the Doppler ultrasonic technique was a very low 55%, the specificity was a very high 95%. With a prevalence of 68%, the positive predictive value was 96%, the negative predictive value 50%. In the case of angiographically patent digital arteries with no spastic narrowing, the Doppler ultrasonic-measured systolic pressure was up to 30 mmHg above, and up to 25 mmHg below, the systolic pressure measured in the ipsilateral brachial artery. A pressure gradient between upper arm and digital arteries of this order of magnitude therefore does not exclude pathological changes. Only angiography was able reliably to detect vascular stenoses and occlusions. CONCLUSION Reliable exclusion of digital arterial occlusions using the Doppler ultrasonic technique without testing for vasospasm is not possible. Only occlusions of digital arteries together with simultaneous occlusions of hand arteries can be reliably detected. Owing to the considerable scatter of the systolic blood pressure gradient between brachial and digital arteries, the Doppler ultrasonic technique cannot be used to distinguish between patent and occluded digital arteries without the use of additional vasodilation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A reliable non-invasive diagnostic procedure is desirable to exclude arterial pathology in patients with pain in their fingers. PATIENTS AND METHODS The results of colour coded duplex sonography (CCDS) in 450 finger arteries (45 hands/41 patients) were compared with findings obtained by intra-arterial digital subtraction arteriography (i.a.-DSA). The population consisted of symptomatic patients with a high risk for finger artery pathologies. RESULTS Arteriography of the hand documented finger artery occlusion in 35.6% of these patients. CCDS is capable of detecting pathological alterations in finger arteries with high accuracy and can differentiate them from regular arteries. In patients with several diseases of the finger arteries, the ultrasound diagnosis concurred with arteriography in 93.1% of patent arteries. In patients with occluded arteries the accuracy of CCDS was 86.3%. CONCLUSION When assessing diseases of finger arteries non-invasive CCDS should be used routinely before referring the patient to arteriography. The latter is only indicated when there is a need to image the whole arterial trunk of the upper extremity or the hand, or in case of equivocal results of CCDS.

Abstract
A female patient, aged 61 years, who developed a severe immobilizing stiff-person syndrome in conjunction with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is described. In addition to the typical clinical symptoms, diagnosis was proven by the presence of autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Symptomatic treatment with continuous intrathecal application of baclofen administered by a subcutaneous pump resulted in rapid clinical improvement so that the patient became ambulatory. Intermittent withdrawal from intrathecal baclofen therapy led to complete remanifestation of stiff-person syndrome within 18 h; after re-introduction of intrathecal therapy stiffness disappeared completely within 48 h. The clinical course has been stable now for over 24 months and stiffness has completely disappeared. The effect of baclofen in this patient is discussed in the light of the suggested pathophysiological mechanisms in stiff-person syndromes.

Abstract
We examined the accuracy of colour flow detection of lower limb arteries in relation to Fontaine's criteria of obstructed peripheral circulation. Assessments were conducted in relation to stages I and II as well as to stages III and IV and compared to the corresponding i. a.-DSA: On comparing the total of all ultrasound results in stages (I-IV) with those of arteriography (92 calf arteries) we found a sensitivity between 80 and 90% and a specificity between 90 and 97%. Results did not differ from these values in the subgroups Fontaine II-IV. Especially in the stages III/IV in comparison to stage II we could not find any disadvantages of colour coded vessel imaging. With sufficient reliability we succeeded in demonstrating calf arteries in endangiitis (Bürger's disease) and in diabetics with mediasclerosis.
