Abstract

This study describes the migration, proliferation, and invasion behaviour of two human glioma cell lines, GaMg and U-87 Mg, grown as multicellular tumour spheroids after 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMGCoA) reductase inhibitor (simvastatin) therapy. Migration and proliferation studies were performed using simvastatin in concentrations of 0.2–30 µg/ml-1. A coculture system in which tumour spheroids were confronted with foetal rat brain aggregates was used for invasion studies. A dose-dependent growth and migratory inhibitory response to simvastatin treatment was observed. Marked invasion of the glioma spheroids into the brain aggregates could be seen in both treated and nontreated groups. Simvastatin therapy inhibits tumour cell growth and migration, but the invasiveness of the remaining tumour cells seems to be unaffected.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
