An extended association screen in multiple sclerosis using 202 microsatellite markers targeting apoptosis-related genes does not reveal new predisposing factorsRené Gödde

Expression of TNFalpha and TGFbeta1 in Guillain-Barré syndrome: correlation of a low TNFalpha-/TGFbeta1-mRNA ratio with good recovery and signs for immunoregulation within the cerebrospinal fluid compartmentL M Ossege
Institute of Neurology, Ruhr University of Bochum, BG Kliniken Bergmannsheil, Bochum, Germany
Eur J Neurol 7:17-25. 2000..In addition the investigations show that in GBS immunoregulatory mechanisms also take place in the CSF compartment itself and that CSF cells are involved in the production of pro-inflammatory as well as immunosuppressive cytokines...
Changes of the MS functional composite and EDSS during and after treatment of relapses with methylprednisolone in patients with multiple sclerosisT Patzold
Department of Neurology, BG Kliniken Bergmannsheil, Ruhr University Bochum, FRG
Acta Neurol Scand 105:164-8. 2002..We examined the responsiveness of the MSFC compared with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) during treatment of relapses in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)...
Immunomodulatory effects of interferon-beta-1b in patients with multiple sclerosisL M Ossege
Department of Neurology, Ruhr University of Bochum, BG Kliniken Bergmannsheil, 44789 Bochum, Germany
Int Immunopharmacol 1:1085-100. 2001..These might be other mechanisms by which IFN beta-1b mediates its positive effects in the treatment of MS patients...

Neurologische Klinik und Poliklinik, BG Kliniken Bergmannsheil Universitätsklinik, Bochum
Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr 71:590-4. 2003..Usually symptoms of MS are characterized by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). In new studies the MSFC proves to be a more sensitive method especially estimating the cognitive deficits...

BG-Kliniken Bergmannsheil Bochum, Bochum, Germany
Acta Neurol Scand 109:385-9. 2004..but combining the categories of clinically and laboratory definite MS, the diagnosis of MS could clearly be established more frequently using the Poser criteria...
