Abstract
Progress in the surgery of implants and biomaterials can be accomplished by: 1. Painstakingly analysing and registering of defaulting implants after explantation within a "National Registry of Implant Pathology". 2. Development of a DNA-microarray named "Implantat/Chronic Wound" in order to discover the differential transcriptional activities of cells brought into contact with different foreign surfaces. 3. Predictive cell-engineering combined with custom-made implant surfaces with the aim of optimal patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Using microarray technique we analysed global changes in gene expression of interferon-y treated primary macrophages. Among the differential expressed genes identified we focussed on the expression of the transporters associated with antigen processing, TAP1 and TAP2, which are involved in the antigen presentation via MHC class 1. Patients suffering from TAP deficiency syndrome have clinical manifestations including recurrent bacterial infections of the respiratory tract and chronic necrotizing granulomatous skin lesions. This is one reason why the regulation of TAP gene expression in antigen presenting cells such as macrophages might provide important general insights into the generation of cellular immune response to multiple pathogens. Additionally IFN-alpha is important in adjuvant tumortherapie although the working mechanisms are unknown. Because of the possibility of the TAPs to be involved in these mechanisms we studied the expression of these transporters in human macrophages after stimulation with pro-inflammatory mediators. MATERIAL AND TREATMENT Monocyte derived macrophages were treated for 24 h with either interferon-gamma, interferon-alpha, interleukin-1 (each 100 U/ml) or lipopolysaccharide (1 microg/ml). METHODS IFN-gamma induced gene expression was analysed using microarray technique. TAP expression was investigated by RT-PCR, northern blot- and western blot analysis. RESULTS TAP1 and TAP2 were constitutively expressed at a low level. IFN-gamma upregulated the expression of both transporters. LPS caused an increase similar to the effect of IFN-gamma. Treatment with IFN-a stimulated also the expression, however, less than IFN-y. In contrast, IL-1beta stimulation had no effect. CONCLUSION Our data show that the transporters associated with antigen presentation are differentially regulated by pro-inflammatory mediators in human macrophages. The finding that IFN-alpha stimulates the expression of proteins involved in cytotoxic effector functions of macrophages contributes to the understanding of the immunoregulatory role of type 1 interferons and may help to explain the efficacy of IFN-alpha in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
The inflammatory response to a collagen/elastin membrane was studied by measuring the expression of cytokines and function associated antigens in human macrophages. Additionally the angiogenic and inflammatory activity in the chorioallantoic membrane of the chick embryo (CAM-assay) was investigated. Macrophages cultured on the membrane expressed IL-1beta mRNA as early as after 4 hours. During prolonged culturing IL-1beta mRNA levels decreased. Messenger RNA for IL-8 was detectable over the whole culture period. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was expressed up to one day only. Phenotypic analysis revealed a decrease in the number of chronic inflammatory 25F9 positive macrophages not migrating into the membrane but a presence of these cells together with the acute inflammatory 27E10 macrophages within the membrane whereas the anti-inflammatory subtype RM3/1 was absent. In the CAM-assay the membrane stimulated angiogenesis and induced the formation of granulation tissue. Histological analysis showed that the membrane was infiltrated with macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells and locally with granulocytes. These data show that the collagen/elastin membrane causes activation of macrophages, angiogenesis and the formation of inflammatory tissue. Although these processes are essential for wound healing the type of inflammation points to a chronic process which might counteract an efficient scar formation.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is essential in wound healing and a common feature in chronic inflammation which is crucially involved in the biological response to biomaterials. A useful system to evaluate the angiogenic activity and the inflammatory potency of various agents is the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the chick embryo. Here we examined its response to different biomaterials. Smooth materials such as PVC or the polyurethane Tecoflex either unmodified or modified by an OH- or N(CH(3))(3)(+)-end group (HEMA or MAPTAC) inhibited angiogenesis and did not induce the formation of granulation tissue. The anti-angiogenic effects of PVC, Tecoflex and its HEMA modification, however, were only seen at an early stage of development. In contrast, the MAPTAC modified Tecoflex inhibited angiogenesis over the whole time. Rough materials, e.g. filter paper or a collagen/elastin membrane, stimulated angiogenesis and induced the formation of inflammatory tissue. Histological analysis revealed that the filter material was homogeneously populated with cells consisiting mainly of macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The collagen/elastin membrane was only partially infiltrated with cells. Among those also clusters of granulocytes were present pointing to an acute inflammatory process. These data show that the angiogenic activity and inflammatory response of biomaterials strongly depend on the chemical composition and the physical structure of the material. The CAM assay appears to be a useful tool for studying biocompatibility.

Abstract
Different glucocorticoids (GC) applied intravenously, subcutaneously or in vitro exert only small differences in the ability to raise RM 3/1 macrophages from human blood monocytes. Dermal application however reveals a dose-dependent difference between GC. The present experiments were designed to study the efficacy of oral and topical application in this model. We also intended to obtain some information about the qualitative differences between the effects of prednisolone and deflazacort, which was reported to cause less adverse reactions than other GC. Both GC were orally administered to probands in doses regarded as equivalent with respect to general GC effects by the manufacturers of deflazacort (5-6 mg or multiples). A single dose of 5 mg prednisolone had no effect; 50 mg increased the number of RM 3/1 macrophages within 12 h from a basal level of 8.5% to about 80% similar to an intravenous or subcutaneous administration of GC. 10 mg prednisolone enhanced the number of RM 3/1 macrophages also within 12 h, reaching a mean maximum of about 60% at 24 h, declining thereafter. 12 mg deflazacort raised the number of RM 3/1 macrophages much slower, reaching a maximum of 30% (average) after 48 h. The interindividual variation was found to be mainly the time lag between dosage and maximum effect. Interindividual differences of prednisolone effects concerned mainly the maximal increase of RM 3/1 macrophages after 24 h. These results show that in this test system deflazacort was found to be less effective than expected. To elucidate the topical influence of GC, probands inhaled twice daily 0.5 mg beclomethasone-dipropionate over a period of 11 days. No effect on the number of RM 3/1 macrophages was observed, suggesting that beclomethasone applied in this dose did not cause systemic GC reactions.

Abstract
The interaction of macrophages with proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is important for the regulation of the immune and nonimmune functions displayed by these cells. Little, however, is known about the ability of different ECM proteins to transmit inflammatory signals into macrophages. Here we investigated the effect of the ECM proteins collagen type I, fibrin and fibronectin on the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-8 using RT-PCR, Northern and Western blot analysis and ELISA technique. It was found that collagen strongly induced IL-1beta and IL-8 expression in the macrophages. Fibronectin also stimulated cytokine expression, however, the amounts of the specific mRNAs were significantly lower compared to those induced by collagen. On the protein level IL-1beta revealed a close correlation to the mRNA expression. In contrast, fibrin did not elicit any IL-1beta and IL-8 response. These data show that different ECM proteins vary in their ability to induce proinflammatory cytokine expression in human macrophages suggesting that the protein composition of the ECM might be crucial in the initiation of inflammatory processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN The effects of the mucolytic agents ambroxol and N-acetylcystein (NAC) were studied on the release of histamine, leukotrienes, cytokines and superoxide anions from a variety of cells involved in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. SUBJECTS Mast cells were isolated from human adenoids and skin (n = 5-6). Basophils, monocytes and granulocytes were obtained from Buffy-coat blood obtained from healthy blood donors (n = 4-7) and enriched by density centrifugation. TREATMENT AND METHODS Ambroxol or NAC were added to the cells for different periods before stimulation with various immunological and non-immunological secretagogues. Histamine release from mast cells, basophils and monocytes was assayed either by radioimmunoassay or spectrofluorometrically. LTC4 (basophils), LTB4 (neutrophil/eosinophil granulocytes or monocytes), IL-4 and IL-13 (basophils) were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Ambroxol inhibited histamine release by more than 50% from human adenoidal mast cells (1000 microM ambroxol) and skin mast cells (100 microM ambroxol) stimulated by Con A and compound 48/80, respectively. Ambroxol (100 microM) strikingly inhibited anti-IgE induced release of both histamine, LTC4, IL-4 and IL-13 from basophils and reduced both histamine and LTB4 release induced by C5a or Zymosan in monocytes. The drug also reduced LTB4 and superoxide anion production in granulocytes stimulated by zymosan or fMLP. In all cell types studied, ambroxol was more efficacious following a short preincubation (5-15 min) of the drug with the cells before stimulation. In contrast, NAC produced no clear effects on any of the different cell types studied, regardless of the preincubation period, the concentration or the stimulus employed. CONCLUSIONS Unlike NAC, ambroxol is able to not only inhibit acute mediator release from mast cells and leukocytes but also reduce immunomodulatory cytokine generation from basophils and may have beneficial effects in the treatment of allergic respiratory diseases.

Abstract
In this study, cytochrome P450 (CYP; EC 1.14.14.1)-dependent activities and P450 isoenzyme patterns were determined in human monocytes and macrophages, which play a major role in antigen processing including small molecular weight compounds which cause contact dermatitis or drug-allergic reactions. Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) we determined the mRNA expression of eight CYPs (1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 2B6/7, 2E1, 3A3/4, 3A7 and 4B1) in human blood monocytes and macrophage subsets 27E10 and RM3/1. To study the influence of known P450 inducers, monocytes were incubated in vitro with ethanol, dexamethasone, cyclosporin A (CSA), benzanthracene (BA), phenobarbital (PB), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetat (TPA) for 24 hr. Percoll density gradient isolated monocytes as well as the pro-inflammatory macrophage subtype 27E10 expressed 1B1, 2E1 and 2B6/7. On the other hand, in the anti-inflammatory macrophage subtype RM3/1, predominantly 1B1 and to some extent 2B6/7 were found. Treatment with cyclosporin A, phenobarbital, benzanthracene or ethanol resulted in induction of the expression of 3A3/4. CYP1B1 was the predominant isoenzyme in all monocytes and macrophages. In monocytes purified by adherence or induced by benzanthracene, lipopolysaccharide or 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetat, 1A1 was also expressed. Northern blot analysis confirmed the presence of CYP1B1 in monocytes and macrophages, a presence which was also demonstrated on the protein level by immunoblot and by immunohistochemical staining of the cells. The expression of several CYPs in monocytes/macrophages suggests that these cells may be important in the metabolism of small molecular weight compounds, which play a role in allergic contact dermatitis and drug reactions. Of particular interest is the remarkably strong expression of the recently identified dioxin inducible CYP1B1, known to be present in a wide range of malignant tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN This study was designed to establish the sites of formation and storage of histamine and histidine decarboxylase (HDC) in human monocytes and two of their subsets. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiments were carried out using monocytes from buffy coats of healthy blood donors. Histamine was quantitated by RIA, HDC activity by the formation of histamine. RESULTS The monocyte subtype RM3/1 contained significantly more histamine than the subset 27E10 (0.041+/-0.025 vs. 0.005+/-0.004 pg/cell, p < 0.05) and also more HDC activity and HDC mRNA. After fractionation of monocyte homogenates in a discontinuous Percoll gradient or by differential centrifugation more than 80% of both, HDC activity and histamine, were recovered from the cytosolic fractions. About 50% of this histamine was found to be bound to proteins. CONCLUSIONS In monocytes histamine and HDC are colocalized in the cytoplasm indicating a subcellular distribution different from mast cells or basophils. The data also show that histamine is synthesized by the monocytes themselves.

Abstract
For the in vitro study of cell-biomaterial surface interactions, the choice of cell type is crucial. In vivo data indicate that during the healing of the implant in the tissues, the pivotal cell types are the macrophages. These cells, upon interaction with any foreign material, might initiate a spectrum of responses, which could lead to acute and chronic inflammatory changes affecting the biocompatibility of the implant. Whether the mechanisms governing the type of evolving inflammatory reaction could be attributed to the macrophages functional differentiation mirrored by monocyte subsets during the polymer interaction, is poorly described. This in vitro study, therefore, attempted to investigate whether different biomaterials influence monocyte cellular activity, determined by the myeloperoxidase level and mitochondrial XTT cleavage, and phenotype dynamics characterized by the presence of CD14, RM 3/1 and 27E10 antigens. It is shown that different polymers exert differential potential to influence monocytes, both in their cellular activity and their phenotypic pattern. Thus, these findings demonstrating material-induced monocyte activation and monocyte phenotype modulation, are suggestive of the monocyte role as reporter cells in evaluating the biocompatibility of a synthetic medical device.

Abstract
The effect of severe burns on the expression of the glucocorticoid-inducible RM 3/1 and HLA-DR antigens in blood monocytes was studied in patients with less than or more than 50% total body surface area (TBSA) burned. All patients showed a strong increase in the portion of RM 3/1+ monocytes within 1 day after injury. In patients with more than 50% TBSA, RM 3/1+ cells decreased after 2 days; in those with less than 50% TBSA, cells decreased after 3 days HLA-DR+ monocytes decreased within 4 days in both groups. In patients with less than 50% TBSA, HLA-DR+ monocytes slowly increased thereafter to basic levels. In patients with more than 50% TBSA, HLA-DR+ monocytes further decreased, then slowly increased, however, did not reach basic levels. This long-lasting decrease was evidence in the nonsurvivors. These results show that severe burns differently affect monocyte antigens. The induction of the anti-inflammatory subtype RM 3/1 and the decrease of the immunoregulatory HLA-DR antigens may contribute to the immunosuppression observed after burn injury.

Abstract
With the aid of monoclonal antibodies, macrophages can be split into functionally distinct subpopulations on the basis of their phenotype. Absence of macrophage subtypes has been noted in chronic inflammatory processes, e.g. posttraumatic osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis and sarcoidosis. In the inflammatory focus of acute septic arthritis (n = 13 patients) however, macrophages constitute the majority of immunocompetent cells. The inflammatory macrophage subtype 27E10 was clearly present in increased numbers in 11 of 13 biopsies from the inflammatory foci, showing the effector task of this subtype in synovial resistance. The anti-inflammatory macrophage subset RM3/1 was present in increased numbers in biopsies of infected tissue and the surrounding soft tissue. The occurrence of 25F9-positive macrophages, typical of the late phase of inflammation, varied widely in the biopsies.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids exert their anti-inflammatory activity by modulating the functions of various cell types including macrophages. They also induce the generation of a distinct macrophage subtype defined by the surface antigen RM3/1 which appears to be associated with the down-regulation of inflammation. Supernatants from these cells were found to exert a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effect, particularly in the early phase as shown in the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) induced footpad edema of mice. By using conventional purification methods the anti-inflammatory factor was found to have a molecular mass of about 78 kD and an isoelectric point of about 7.9. Heat lability and sensitivity to trypsin and proteinase K indicate the protein nature of the anti-inflammatory factor. The inhibition of the early phase of inflammation and the molecular weight suggest that the anti-inflammatory agent released from RM3/1 macrophages is a novel protein different from other anti-inflammatory proteins described so far.

Abstract
Macrophage subtypes were detected in cryostat sections of biopsies from patients with chronic osteomyelitis, acute joint infections and normal bone marrow, using monoclonal antibodies against different macrophage populations. The resident macrophage subtype 25F9, the gluco-corticoid-inducible macrophage RM 3/1 and the inflammatory type 27E10 were found in abundance in acute infections. They were also present in tissue sections of uninflamed bone marrow. By contrast, in about 50% of the biopsies from patients with chronic osteomyelitis a reduced number of macrophage subtypes, or even the lack of one or more macrophage subpopulations was found. The unusual absence of macrophage phenotypes seems to be restricted to the area of osteomyelitis because in the tissues of inflamed sinuses in these patients, the macrophage subtypes were present. These findings suggest a disturbance at the level of the macrophages which may contribute to the persistence of the inflammatory process in osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Monocytes and lymphocytes from human blood contain 0.043 +/- 0.007 and 0.053 +/- 0.014 pg histamine/cell, respectively, which can be released by a number of stimulants (A 23187, C5a, substance P, specific allergen). The release process takes 60-120 min to reach its end point, in contrast to tissue mast cells which complete the release within 1-3 min. Both, ketotifen (10(-7) - 10(-5) M) and disodium cromoglycate (10(-5) - 10(-3) M) inhibited histamine release dose dependently up to 40-45%, which might be particularly relevant during the later stages of acute allergic or pseudoallergic reactions.

Abstract
Spontaneous and mitogen-stimulated proliferation of spleen lymphocytes was inhibited by coculturing the cells with murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BM-M phi). The inhibitory effect was found to be dependent on the maturation stage of BM-M phi reflected by the appearance of the phenotype BM 8 and on the number of BM-M phi added to the lymphocytes. The spontaneous proliferation was only inhibited by the addition of high numbers of BM-M phi of late maturation stage. The lipopolysaccharide (Lps) induced response was strongly suppressed by increasing proportions of BM-M phi of either cultivation stage. The suppressive effect on the concanavalin A (Con A)-induced proliferative activity increased with the maturation of the macrophages. Inhibition of prostanoid release with indomethacin had no effect. Blocking of nitric oxide synthesis partially reversed the inhibitory effect of macrophages mainly on the Con-A response. Addition of culture supernatant of BM-M phi to the lymphocytes did not mimic the effect of the macrophages themselves. BM-M phi only slightly inhibited the proliferation when lymphocyte-BM-M phi cell-to-cell contact was prevented. These results show that BM-M phi differently influence the spontaneous and mitogen-induced lymphoproliferation and that the inhibitory effect of BM-M phi on the lymphocyte proliferation is only partially mediated by secretory products of macrophages but apparently requires cell-to-cell contact between both cell types.

Abstract
Some recent observations have indicated that cells other than mast cells, notably macrophages, may contain significant amounts of histamine. Using a histamine-specific radioimmunoassay, we found that human blood monocytes and lymphocytes contain about 0.05 pg histamine/cell. Various other cells, e.g. fibroblasts, colorectal tumor, kidney and ovarian cells, and murine bone marrow derived macrophages contained markedly less histamine (< 0.008 pg/cell). Ionophore A23187 (1 microM) released up to 50% of the total histamine from monocytes and lymphocytes. C5a caused a dose-dependent histamine release of up to 40% in monocytes and up to 20% in lymphocytes. Substance P induced a release only in cells of certain donors. Lipopolysaccharide, concanavalin A, and compound 48/80 had no effect. Culturing of the cells caused a loss of cellular histamine and its releasability. In view of the huge numbers of monocytes and lymphocytes in the blood, the histamine in these cells has to be taken into account under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
At the tumor-host interface (interface) of well differentiated tubulary or tubulopapillary colorectal carcinomas infiltrative, poorly demarcated and non-infiltrative, well bordered areas alternate. The composition of the inflammatory infiltrate within the desmoplastic stroma of the central tumor part and the interface was analyzed, particularly emphasizing differences between infiltrative and non-infiltrative areas of the interface. Of particular interest was the distribution of the following recently identified, functionally different human macrophage phenotypes: the 27E10-positive phenotype, an inflammatory macrophage, the 25F9-positive phenotype, a mature, resident macrophage and the RM3/1-positive phenotype, associated with anti-inflammatory function. It was found that macrophages were the dominating cells in the inflammatory infiltrate of both central tumor part and interface and that the number of B-cells and NK-cells were negligible. The 27E10-positive phenotype revealed a strong association with infiltrative areas at the interface, whereas the resident macrophage together with the RM3/1 was associated with sharply bordered tumor areas dominating within the tumor stroma, particularly in carcinomas with marked desmoplastic stroma response. These findings suggest that different macrophage phenotypes, localized in different regions of the carcinoma, have different effects on tumor cells.

Abstract
Monocyte-endothelial interactions are of particular importance in the regulation of inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the adhesion of functional different monocyte subsets to human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with various cytokines or a glucocorticoid. The adherence of monocyte subset 27E10, which is associated with inflammatory processes, increased after endothelial activation with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interferon-gamma (IFN gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), and the glucocorticoid prednylidene (Pred). The adherence at IFN gamma-treated endothelial cells was strong after a coculture duration of 10 min with a slight increase up to 60 min. The peak value after TNF alpha stimulation was reached after 15 min, thereafter quickly decreasing. IL-1 and Pred treatment caused a maximal adherence between 15 and 30 min followed by a slow decrease. TNF alpha and particularly interleukin-6 (IL-6) enhanced the endothelial adhesion of the monocyte subtype RM3/1, which is associated with the downregulation of inflammation. The maximal adherence was found after 15 and 30 min of coculture, respectively. The results show that, through modulation of the adhesive properties of endothelial cells, cytokines and glucocorticoids affect the adherence of monocyte subsets differently. They also suggest that IL-6 plays a role in the downregulation of acute inflammation.

Abstract
Macrophage subpopulations were detected immunohistochemically with the aid of monoclonal antibodies in tissue sections of 15 patients with posttraumatic osteomyelitis at the beginning of therapy and after combined operative/antibiotic treatment. Macrophages represent the majority of the immunocompetent cells in osteomyelitis tissue. Before the start of therapy, the acute inflammatory macrophage subtype 27E10 was absent or rarely found in 8/13 evaluable biopsies from the osteomyelitis focus, and a further decrease in the expression of these macrophage antigens was observed after treatment. The RM3/1-positive macrophage associated with the down-regulation of inflammation was detectable to a low extent in 4/13 evaluable biopsies from the osteomyelitis focus before the start of therapy. After treatment of the infection, an increase in this subtype was found in the cellular inflammatory infiltrates in the tissue samples examined. In 8/15 biopsies a marked expression of the RM3/1 antigen was observed. At the start of treatment, the macrophage 25F9, which dominates in the late phase of inflammation, was missing in 3/13 tissue samples. After combined operative/antibiotic treatment the 25F9-positive macrophage was found in all patients, having increased in 7/14 biopsies studied. These data suggest that treatment of posttraumatic osteomyelitis leads to a local macrophage subtype distribution in the osteomyelitis focus resembling the pattern of a late inflammatory reaction.

Abstract
In a new co-culture model involving multicellular tumor spheroids and different phenotypes of human macrophages, we studied the effects of the latter on migration and proliferation of the human colon carcinoma cell line, HRT-18. The macrophage phenotypes are detectable with monoclonal antibodies and are inducible in culture. 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate-activated macrophages are associated with the phenotype 27E10, which is an acute inflammatory macrophage. The glucocorticoid-induced macrophage phenotype RM3/1 is associated with the down-regulation of inflammation. The phenotype resembling the mature resident macrophage termed 25F9 arises spontaneously in prolonged culture. It could be shown that inflammatory macrophages are localized at invasive areas of the tumor-host interface of colorectal carcinoma, whereas resident and anti-inflammatory macrophages were found in the central tumor region or at well-bordered areas of the tumor-host interface. The results obtained with this co-culture model show that 27E10-associated macrophages stimulate tumor cell migration and inhibit tumor cell proliferation. RM3/1 had only a slight inhibiting effect on proliferation and a slight promoting effect on migration. The 25F9-positive macrophage-stimulated tumor cell proliferation and inhibited migration completely. This investigation indicates that this in vitro system is useful for studying different macrophage effects on tumor cells and that indeed proliferation and migration of tumor cells could be influenced in an opposite manner by different types of macrophages.

Abstract
In patients with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis, several deficits in immunological response were demonstrated. In a prospective trial of 20 patients with proven osteomyelitis, histological analysis of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood and in the infected bone tissue was performed. The effects of chronic osteomyelitis on lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood and in inflamed tissue were only slight. The T4/T8 ratio was diminished in only two patients and had no relationship to the clinical course. Interleukin 2 receptor determination was negative in 83% of biopsies of infected tissue. Osteomyelitis may possibly cause a defect in lymphocyte/macrophage cooperation.

Abstract
Similar to other chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis the distribution of macrophage subtypes seems to be disturbed in post-traumatic osteomyelitis. This atypical distribution is clearly locally restricted in osteomyelitis. 27E10-positive macrophages found only during the acute phase of inflammation were reduced in 39%, the 25F9-positive subtype, predominating in the late stage of inflammation, was missing in 33%. The antiinflammatory macrophage RM3/1 was decreased in 40% of the osteomyelitis biopsies. Local suppression of macrophage subsets has to be discussed as one of the reasons for the persistence of chronic inflammatory processes in osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Monocytes/macrophages expressing an epitope recognized by a monoclonal antibody 27E10 are present in acute but are absent in chronic inflammatory disorders. This report shows that the 27E10 antigen is formed by noncovalent association of the two Ca(2+)-binding proteins MRP8 and MRP14 which belong to the S100 protein family. Identification has been confirmed immunochemically, by matrix-assisted UV-laser desorption/ionization spectrometry and by partial amino acid sequencing. Surface expression of the MRP8/MRP14 complex on a subset of monocytes is reported for the first time and shown to be up-regulated in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. The 27E10 surface-positive monocytes isolated by cell separation techniques release high amounts of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta in contrast to their 27E10 surface-negative counterparts thus emphasizing their role in inflammation.

Abstract
Subsets of macrophages (BM 8-, la- and esterase-positive subtypes) in the spleen and the peritoneum of mice were affected differently by immunomodulators during the humoral immune response. I.p. application of inosine pranobex (INPX), as well as of its salt moiety (DIPPACBA) and its dimethylaminopropanol (DIP) and acetamidobenzoic acid (PACBA) components, increased the number of nonspecific esterase-bearing cells in the peritoneum on day 3. INPX and DIPPACBA stimulated the la+ macrophage on day 3, DIPPACBA the BM 8+ macrophage only on day 1 and DIP on day 5. In spleen, DIP and PACBA had marked effects on the la+ subset in addition to a marginal effect on the BM 8+ phenotype on day 1. DIPPACBA also influenced the BM 8+ macrophage slightly on day 1. In contrast, the microbial product OK-432 stimulated BM 8+ and la+ macrophages in spleen markedly on day 1, but only marginally on days 3 and 5. However, it exerted a strong effect on both subtypes in peritoneum on days 3 and 5. OK-432 was found to be without any influence on esterase-bearing macrophages. The results show that the heterogeneity of macrophages is not only represented by subset markers, but also by their susceptibility to immunomodulators in different organs and stages of the immune response.

Abstract
Subcutaneous injection of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone in the primate Callithrix jacchus increased the proportion of the macrophage subtype RM 3/1 in the blood from a basic level of 16% positive monocytes to about 65%. The elevated numbers of RM 3/1-positive cells were seen 24 and 72 h after application and were independent of the dosages used (50 or 150 micrograms/kg). Oral administration had no effect. CD4-, CD14- and CDw14-antigen expression of monocytes was not influenced by the dexamethasone treatment. In tissues, e.g. spleen, thymus, liver, skin and kidney, RM 3/1-positive macrophages revealed a similar distribution as in human tissues but no differences in glucocorticoid treated to control animals could be observed. These results show that glucocorticoids induce in the monkey Callithrix jacchus a distinct monocyte subtype similarly as in man while other macrophage phenotypes were not influenced.

Abstract
Investigations in patients with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis could demonstrate several deficits in immunologic response: Phagocytic activity of phagocytes is lowered accompanied by a functional deminution of leukocyte receptors for C3. Intracellular killing is diminished. Investigations concerning T lymphocyte subpopulations verified a decrease in total T cells and helper/inducer T cells. Dysfunctions in specific humoral immune response are still debatable.

Abstract
Dermal administration of either hydrocortisone or fluprednidene to healthy skin causes only a weak and short-lasting increase of the proportion of the anti-inflammatory macrophage RM 3/1 in the blood compared to the effect of the systemic application of glucocorticoids on this cell subtype. On the other hand, a rather permanent increase of these macrophages could be observed in untreated patients suffering from certain skin diseases, e.g. urticaria, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis.

Abstract
The effect of intravenous administration of the glucocorticoid prednylidene on the macrophage subtype RM 3/1 in the peripheral blood of man was studied. Injection of 60 mg steroid resulted in an increase in the proportion of RM 3/1 positive monocytes 12 h after application from the basic level to about 80%. After 24 h the number of RM 3/1 positive cells decreased but remained elevated over the basis rate for a period of at least 15 days. Similar results were obtained after administration of 30 or 6 mg prednylidene even if the peak value occurred with a delay of 12 h after 6 mg. A dose- and time-dependent induction of the RM 3/1 positive subtype could also be demonstrated in vitro by the addition of prednylidene or dexamethasone to cultured purified human monocytes/macrophages. Deoxycortone or indomethacin had no effects. These results suggest that glucocorticoids exert their influence on cells of the mononuclear phagocytic lineage by inducing a distinct monocyte/macrophage subpopulation which seems to be associated with anti-inflammatory functions.

Abstract
Because urticarial lesions can persist for extended periods of time, we have investigated the histochemical expression of an antibody against the cytokine macrophage inhibitory factor in 23 patients with different types of urticaria. Positive staining of upper and middermal dendritic cells was noted in sections from all three biopsy specimens of acute urticaria, eight of chronic urticaria, and all six of urticaria pigmentosa lesions. In all but one biopsy specimen, endothelial cells reacted as well. In three sections (two chronic urticaria, one urticaria pigmentosa), luminal lining cells of sweat glands were also noted to stain positively. In contrast, lesional skin from all eight patients with pressure urticaria was negative, as was the clinically normal skin of all patients, with the exception of one patient with urticaria pigmentosa. The data suggest that cytokines may be involved in lesions of acute type immunologic processes and that they need not be expressed in delayed type reactions.
