[The development of the tissue banking techniques has made possible the production of wide range of differently preserved collagen based tissue grafts (skin, bone, dura mater, fascia lata). Excellent clinical results have been obtained by the application of allogeneic and xenogeneic grafts. The article summarizes the activity fields of tissue banks in the USA and in Europe. The review presents the most important aspects of tissue banking, antigenicity, sterility, preservation and storage of different grafts. ]

Elektrophoretische Untersuchungen zeigen durchweg einen Anstieg der Gammaglobulinfraktionen im Liquor während des akuten Stadiums der Krankheit. Immunelektrophoretische und chromatographische Untersuchungen bestätigen dies. Die Gamma-Globulinfraktionen steigen an. Immunelektrophoretische und chromatographische Untersuchungen bestätigen dies. Wenn das Gammaglobulin ansteigt, werden im Liquor Plasmazellen nachgewiesen. Diese Daten legen nahe, dass immunologische Prozesse an der Multiplen Sklerose beteiligt sind. Der Nachweis von Antikörpern gegen das ZNS-Antigen im Patientenserum scheint effektiv zu sein, denn Ross kann sie bei 40 % der Patienten ohne Selektion nachweisen. Seine Ergebnisse wurden von anderen bestätigt. Die Autoren versuchen, diese Antikörper zu identifizieren. Durch säulenchromatographische Trennung und Immunelektrophorese wurden die gesuchten Antikörper als 19 S-Gamma-Globulin oder IgM-Antikörper identifiziert. Die saure Hydrolyse und die elektrophoretische Analyse von Antikörper-Antigen-Komplexen aus Multiple-Sklerose-Serum und -Gehirnextrakten ergaben das gleiche Ergebnis. Kontrollstudien mit anderen 19 S-Gamma-Globulinen beim Menschen zeigen, dass die Spezifität nicht in Frage steht. Lamoureux und Borduas konnten während einer akuten Krankheitsepisode neben der Anhäufung von Gamma-Globulin auch eine Anhäufung von Gamma-M und Gamma-A-Globulin im Liquor nachweisen. Sie entdeckten eine zytotoxische Substanz aus den Gammaglobulinfraktionen, die Nerven- und Gliazellen in Gewebekulturen schädigte. Über die Art des Antigens ist wenig bekannt. Die Autoren gehen von mindestens zwei Arten von Antigenen aus, einem Lipid und einem Protein. Es ist noch nicht bekannt, ob der Serumantikörper ein autoaggressiver oder ein sekundärer Faktor ist.

[Das gesunde Kind besitzt bei seiner Geburt funktionstüchtige Systeme, die vom Nervensystem her gesteuert werden und seine Adaptation an die Umwelt ermöglichen. Diese Adaptation ist eine spezifisch-biologische Eigenschaft, die eine langfristige Anpassung an die Natur und interpersonale Umwelt beim Menschen wesentlich umfangreicher ermöglicht, als bei tieferstehenden biologischen Arten.]

[The authors analyze the pathogenesis of intracranial vessel occlusion based on angiograms from 840 hemispheric ischemic patients. The significant differences in the frequency of occlusion in each artery can be explained by little evidence of thrombosis due to localized vessel wall lesions. In their balloon catheter studies, following the path of spontaneous drift of the balloon as an embolic model, they found that the probability of "balloon embolism" coincides with the frequency of spontaneous occlusions. On this basis, embolism is thought to play a more important role in the pathogenesis of occlusion of the intracranial arteries and in particular the cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery. By analysing the likelihood and time course of embolism dissolution, it is concluded that only ischaemic events angiography performed shortly after ischemia can be expected to resolve the majority of embolic occlusions. - of the majority of embolic embolisms, which is also important from a therapeutic point of view.]
