However, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has indicated that CAS is associated with a significantly higher burden of microemboli. This study evaluated the potential effect on intellectual functions of new DWI lesions after CEA or CAS. Methods: This prospective study analyzed the neuropsychologic outcomes after revascularization in 24 CAS and 31 CEA patients with severe carotid stenosis compared with a control group of 27 healthy individuals. All patients underwent clinical examinations, magnetic resonance imaging scans, and a neuropsychologic test battery that assessed six major cognitive domains performed immediately before CEA or CAS, <= 72 hours after, and at 3 months. Results: New DWI lesions were detected among 15 of 21 (71%) of the CAS patients immediately after treatment but in only 1 of the 28 CEA patients (4%; P < .01). As a group, patients with new DWI lesions showed a decline in their performance in the cognitive domains, attention, and visuoconstructive functions within 72 hours of carotid revascularization. Individually, however, in none of the cognitive domains did the decreases reach a clinically relevant threshold of z < -1.5. Moreover, the cognitive performance was not significantly different between patients with and without new DWI lesions 3 months after treatment. The cognitive performance was similar between CEA and CAS patients at all points. Conclusions: The findings support the assumption that new brain lesions, as detected with DWI after CAS or CEA, do not affect cognitive performance in a manner that is long-lasting or clinically relevant. Despite the higher embolic load detected by DWI, CAS is not associated with a greater cognitive decline than CEA.

However, for global assessment it is desirable to have a brief summary measure. This study examined a 6-item QOLIBRI Overall Scale (QOLIBRI-OS), and considered whether it could provide an index of HRQoL after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods The properties of the QOLIBRI-OS were studied in a sample of 792 participants with TBI recruited from centres in nine countries covering six languages. An examination of construct validity was undertaken on a subsample of 153 participants recruited in Germany who had been assessed on two relevant brief quality of life measures, the Satisfaction With Life Scale and the Quality of Life Visual Analogue Scale. Results The reliability of the QOLIBRI-OS was good (Cronbach's a 0.86, test-retest reliability =0.81) and similar in participants with higher and lower cognitive performance. Factor analysis indicated that the scale is unidimensional. Rasch analysis also showed a satisfactory fit with this model. The QOLIBRI-OS correlates highly with the total score from the full QOLIBRI scale (r=0.87). Moderate to strong relationships were found among the QOLIBRI-OS and the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale, Short-Form-36, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (r=0.54 to -0.76). The QOLIBRI-OS showed good construct validity in the TBI group. Conclusions The QOLIBRI-OS assesses a similar construct to the QOLIBRI total score and can be used as a brief index of HRQoL for TBI."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1136/jnnp-2012-302361"],["dc.identifier.isi","000309813600005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22851609"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/25081"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Bmj Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-3050"],["dc.title","QOLIBRI Overall Scale: a brief index of health-related quality of life after traumatic brain injury"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2001Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","30"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Neuroimmunology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","39"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","113"],["dc.contributor.author","Schmidt, H"],["dc.contributor.author","Tlustochowska, A."],["dc.contributor.author","Stuertz, K."],["dc.contributor.author","Djukic, M."],["dc.contributor.author","Gerber, Joachim"],["dc.contributor.author","Schutz, Ekkehard"],["dc.contributor.author","Kuhnt, U."],["dc.contributor.author","Nau, R."],["dc.date.accessioned","2021-06-01T10:50:09Z"],["dc.date.available","2021-06-01T10:50:09Z"],["dc.date.issued","2001"],["dc.description.abstract","Hippocampal slices of newborn rats were exposed to either heat-inactivated Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 (hiR6) equivalent to 10(6) and 10(8) CFU/ml, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) (0.3 mug/ml and 30 mug/ml), peptidoglycans (PG) (0.3, 30, 50 and 100 mug/ml), pneumococcal DNA (pDNA) (0.3 and 30 mug/ml) or medium only (control).

Method: Patient Competency Rating Scale for Neurorehabilitation ratings made by participants and their significant others were used to assess SA and discrepancies between the 2 ratings were used to define impaired SA. Results: Significant associations were identified between SA and HRQOL, anxiety, depression, and severity of injury. Participants with and without impaired SA differed in cognitive HRQOL and leisure activities. Using multiple regression, no direct predictors of SA were identified, although interaction effects were observed.

Here, we determined the structure of a complex between the DNA-binding domain of Ler (CT-Ler) and a 15-mer DNA duplex. CT-Ler recognizes a preexisting structural pattern in the DNA minor groove formed by two consecutive regions which are narrower and wider, respectively, compared with standard B-DNA. The compressed region, associated with an AT-tract, is sensed by the side chain of Arg90, whose mutation abolishes the capacity of Ler to bind DNA. The expanded groove allows the approach of the loop in which Arg90 is located. This is the first report of an experimental structure of a DNA complex that includes a protein belonging to the H-NS family. The indirect readout mechanism not only explains the capacity of H-NS and other H-NS family members to modulate the expression of a large number of genes but also the origin of the specificity displayed by Ler.

Recently, plasma A beta 40 was suggested as an independent cerebrovascular risk factor candidate. Methods We investigated eight plasma samples of patients with clinical signs of acute cerebral ischemia for derangements of plasma amyloid-beta (A beta) peptide patterns as compared to 13 patients with other neuropsychiatric diseases. For the analysis of plasma, we used immunoprecipitation followed by the quantitative A beta-SDS-PAGE/immunoblot. Results The major outcome was a striking decrease of A beta 140 in plasma paralleled by an increase in the ratio of A beta 138/A beta 140 in two patients with acute stroke. Interestingly, these patients had an onset of symptoms within only 24 hr before venous puncture and there was a strong correlation of A beta 138/A beta 140 levels with the time span between onset of symptoms and venous puncture. Conclusion From these results, we suggest the ratio of plasma A beta 138/A beta 140 as a possible biomarker for the early diagnosis of acute stroke. J. Clin. Lab. Anal. 26:238-245, 2012.

The rural-urban gradient was characterized by a gradient of vegetation-free areas and increasing proportion of ground covered in concrete, tarmac, paving and other impermeable surfaces surrounding the Artemisia plots, i.e. six different zones of increasing isolation. Numbers of insect species (herbivores, parasitoids and predators) decreased along the gradient from 43 to 12. Monophagous herbivores were not more affected than polyphagous herbivores, but parasitoids, especially rare species, were more strongly affected by isolation than predators. Some dominant herbivorous species were very successful colonizers and occurred in inner city sites devoid of all natural vegetation. Sometimes their abundance increased in the inner city to significantly higher densities than in the urban fringe.
