[Bilateral elastofibroma dorsi].
1999
Ein 75 jahriger Patient stellte sich mit seit 2 Jahren langsam grosenprogredienten Raumforderungen unterhalb beider Schulterblatter vor. Anamnestisch bestand ein Zustand nach proximaler Oberarmamputation linksseitig mit folgender prothetischer Versorgung. Klinisch zeigten sich direkt unter den Schulterblattspitzen beidseits 2 faustgrose Tumoren, die fest mit dem tiefer gelegenen Gewebe verwachsen waren. Sowohl magnetresonanztomographisch als auch intraoperativ stellte sich ein infiltratives Wachstum dieser Raumforderungen in die seitliche Thoraxmuskulatur und das Periost der Rippen sowie des Schulterblatts dar, so das ein maligner Tumor vermutet wurde. Histopathologisch zeigte sich Bindegew…
Therapeutische Strategien bei malignen Weichteiltumoren
2001
Einleitung: Ziel einer Weichteiltumor-Registerstudie der Chirurgischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft Onkologie (CAO) der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Chirurgie war die Erfassung der Behandlungsstrategien bei malignen Weichteiltumoren des Erwachsenen. Methodik: In 19 Monaten wurden Daten von 292 Patienten von 99 chirurgischen Kliniken Deutschlands nach einem speziell entwickelten Dokumentationsbogen prospektiv zur pratherapeutischen Biopsie, Vorbehandlung, definitiven chirurgischen Therapie, zu multimodalen Masnahmen und zum pathohistologischen Befund erhoben. Ergebnisse: 39 % der Tumoren wurden in Universitatskliniken, 36 % in Schwerpunktkrankenhausern und 24 % in Krankenhausern der Grundversorgung beh…
Chirurgische Radikalität und Indikation zur adjuvanten Therapie bei malignen Weichteiltumoren — Ergebnisse einer Registerstudie / The Extent of Radic…

Ziel dieser Studie der Chirurgischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft Onkologie (CAO) der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Chirurgie war die Erfassung eines aktuellen Status des chirurgisch-onkologischen Vorgehens bei malignen Weichteiltumoren des Erwachsenen. In 19 Monaten wurden die Daten von 292 Patienten aus 99 Kliniken prospektiv erfast. 39% wurden an Uni-Kliniken, 36% in Schwerpunkt- und 24% in Krankenhausern der Grundversorgung therapiert. An den Extremitaten konnte in 96% ein extremitatenerhaltender Eingriff durchgefuhrt werden. Die Haufigkeit einer RO-Resektion unterschied sich in den einzelnen Kliniken nicht signifikant, jedoch kamen lokal ausgedehntere Verfahren und additive Masnahmen an Uni-Klinik…
Extracranial metastasizing solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) of meninges: Histopathological features of a case with long-term follow-up
2012
Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms frequently observed in middle-aged adults and are classified, according to the WHO classification of soft tissue tumors, as part of the hemangiopericytoma tumor group. However, these two entities remain separated in the WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system. In fact, meningeal solitary fibrous tumors are believed to be benign lesion and only in a minority of cases local relapses have been described, although detailed survival clinical studies on solitary fibrous tumors of meninges are rare. In contrast to hemangiopericytoma, which frequently shows distant extracranial metastases, such an event is ex…
p16INK4A (CDKN2A) gene deletion is a frequent genetic event in synovial sarcomas.
2006
We assessed the frequency of genomic deletion of p16 INK4A (CDKN2A) in synovial sarcomas (SSs) and its possible association with immunoexpression of p16 and cyclin D1 and the Ki-67 proliferation index using dualcolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on tissue microarray sections of 41 histologically and molecularly confirmed SSs. A heterozygous p16 INK4A gene deletion was identified in 28 (74%) of 38 cases, with 25 (89%) of them showing abnormal p16 protein expression (20 negative and 5 heterogeneous). Of 25 cases, 19 (76%) exhibiting increased cyclin D1 expression also demonstrated heterozygous p16 INK4A deletion. No significant association was observed between p16 INK4A deletion …

Investigations on the ballistic behaviours of soft tissue materials are significant research in a medical and pharmaceutical framework. They mainly focus on particles penetrating or traveling into the soft materials. For instance, in the needle-free drug delivery, the micro-scale particles as drug powders are injected into skin with high velocity, and several factors should be considered such as the particle diameters, trajectories, and momentum or velocities of projectile in this process. There have been investigated by some experiments, but there is still no study from the numerical insights.The numerical methods are suitable to study these kinds of processes. Although grid-based methods …
Effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on tumor blood flow and hyperthermic treatment.
1989
The impact of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (rhTNF-alpha), given alone or in combination with local hyperthermia, on perfusion and growth of a moderately rhTNF-alpha-sensitive rat tumor (DS-carcinosarcoma) was investigated. DS-carcinosarcomas were implanted into the hind foot dorsum of Sprague-Dawley rats. Tumor blood flow (TBF) was measured with the krypton-85 clearance technique. Treatment with either tumor necrosis factor-alpha (0.1-1.0 mg/kg) or hyperthermia (43.3 and 44.3 degrees C, 40 min) can decrease the perfusion of malignant tumors. The TBF reduction was fully established 2 h after rhTNF-alpha injection and lasted for at least 4 h. The application of local hyperthe…
MR Thermometry Data Correlate with Pathological Response for Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Lower Extremity in a Single Center Analysis of Prospectively …
2020
Background: There is a strong biologic rationale for using locoregional hyperthermia in soft tissue sarcoma and a randomized trial reported significant improvements with hyperthermia. The aim of this study was to describe the opportunities of magnetic resonance (MR)-based thermometry in a cohort of soft tissue sarcoma patients undergoing combined radiotherapy and locoregional hyperthermia. Patients and Methods: For eleven evaluable patients, tumor volume (VTu) and a separate volume for temperature analysis with reliable temperature distribution (Vtherm) were contoured for every hyperthermia treatment (103 therapies). Temperature data were recorded for all tumors and were correlated with cli…
Response of tumour red blood cell flux to hyperthermia and/or hyperglycaemia.
1989
Laser Doppler flowmetry has been applied to subepidermal rat tumours during localized ultrasound hyperthermia and/or moderate, short-term hyperglycaemia. Blood glucose levels were elevated 4-fold by continuous i.v. infusion of D-glucose (4.8 g/kg/60 min). To determine whether the effects of hyperglycaemia on tumour blood flow involved increased rates of glycolysis and lactic acid production, galactose, a sugar not metabolized by the tumour, was administered using the same dose schedule. Hyperglycaemia was accompanied by a 3-fold increase in blood lactate levels and a slight hypervolaemic haemodilution without any significant systematic changes of the arterial blood pressure or respiratory b…
Tumour tissue monitoring during photodynamic and hyperthermic treatment using bioimpedance spectroscopy.
2003
Electrical bioimpedance spectroscopy is a fast and relatively easily applicable method for tissue characterization. In the frequency range up to 10 MHz, current conduction through tissue is mainly determined by tissue structure, i.e. the extra- and intra-cellular compartments and the insulating cell membranes. Therefore, changes in the extra- and intra-cellular fluid volumes are reflected in the impedance spectra. Investigations of tumours (DS sarcoma, implanted on the hind foot dorsum of rats) during treatment with localized hyperthermia (HT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the combination of these two components were carried out using impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 37 Hz…
