Abstract
Hintergrund: Über das Risiko einer Virusinfektion mit dem schweren akuten Atemwegssyndrom Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) bei Krebspatienten, von denen viele immungeschwächt und damit anfälliger für eine Vielzahl von Infektionen sind, ist sehr wenig bekannt. Als Vorsichtsmaßnahme haben viele klinische Studien während der ersten Welle der weltweiten Pandemie des neuartigen Coronavirus (COVID-19) die Aufnahme von Patienten pausiert. In diesem Fallbericht beschreiben wir die erfolgreiche Behandlung eines Patienten mit rezidiviertem und refraktärem Multiplem Myelom (MM), der unmittelbar nach der klinischen Genesung von COVID-19 mit einer chimären Antigenrezeptor (CAR)-T-Zelltherapie mit Anti-B-Zellreifungsantigen (BCMA) behandelt wurde. Fallvorstellung: Der 57-jährige weiße männliche Patient war seit 4 Jahren an MM erkrankt und galt bei der Vorstellung zur CAR-T-Zelltherapie als pentarefraktär. Er hatte eine Immunsuppression in seiner medizinischen Vorgeschichte und er erhielt am Tag vor der COVID-19-Diagnose eine Dosis lymphdepletierender Chemotherapie (LDC). Dieser Patient konnte eine erhebliche Immunantwort gegen das SARS-CoV-2-Virus aufbauen, und antivirale Antikörper bleiben auch 2 Monate nach Erhalt einer Anti-BCMA-CAR-T-Zelltherapie noch nachweisbar. Die kürzliche SARS-CoV-2-Infektion bei diesem Patienten führte nicht zu einer Exazerbation des CAR-T-assoziierten Zytokin-Freisetzungssyndroms (CRS) und umgekehrt führte die CAR-T-Zelltherapie nicht zu Komplikationen im Zusammenhang mit COVID-19. Einen Monat nach der CAR-T-Zell-Infusion wurde bei dem Patienten ein unbestätigtes partielles Ansprechen nach den Kriterien der International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) festgestellt. Schlussfolgerung: Unser Fall liefert einen wichtigen Kontext für die Wahl der Behandlung von MM-Patienten in Zeiten von COVID-19 sowie für die Frage, ob die CAR-T-Therapie auch bei Patienten verabreicht werden kann, die von COVID-19 genesen sind. Da die COVID-19-Pandemie weltweit anhält, ist eine umfangreiche Diskussion über die Entscheidung, ob mit der CAR-T-Zelltherapie fortgefahren werden soll, erforderlich, wobei die potenziellen Risiken und Vorteile der Therapie gegeneinander abgewogen werden müssen. Dieser Fall legt nahe, dass es möglich ist, die Anti-BCMA-CAR-T-Zelltherapie nach der Genesung von COVID-19 erfolgreich abzuschließen. Die Studie CRB-402 wurde am 6. September 2017 bei clinicaltrials.gov registriert (NCT03274219).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Very little is known about the risk that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral infection poses to cancer patients, many of whom are immune compromised causing them to be more susceptible to a host of infections. As a precautionary measure, many clinical studies halted enrollment during the initial surge of the global Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In this case report, we detail the successful treatment of a relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patient treated with an anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy immediately following clinical recovery from COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION The 57 year old Caucasian male patient had a 4-year history of MM and was considered penta-refractory upon presentation for CAR T cell therapy. He had a history of immunosuppression and received one dose of lymphodepleting chemotherapy (LDC) the day prior to COVID-19 diagnosis; this patient was able to mount a substantial immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and antiviral antibodies remain detectable 2 months after receiving anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy. The recent SARS-CoV-2 infection in this patient did not exacerbate CAR T-associated cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and conversely the CAR T cell therapy did not result in COVID-19-related complications. One month after CAR T cell infusion, the patient was assessed to have an unconfirmed partial response per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. CONCLUSION Our case adds important context around treatment choice for MM patients in the era of COVID-19 and whether CAR T therapy can be administered to patients who have recovered from COVID-19. As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, the decision of whether to proceed with CAR T cell therapy will require extensive discussion weighing the potential risks and benefits of therapy. This case suggests that it is possible to successfully complete anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy after recovery from COVID-19. CRB-402 study registered 6 September 2017 at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03274219).

Abstract
Nanomaterials play an important role in mimicking the biochemical and biophysical cues of the extracellular matrix in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Increasing studies have demonstrated the crucial impact of functional groups on MSCs, while limited research is available on how the functional group's density on nanoparticles regulates MSC behavior. Herein, the effects of dendritic polyglycerol (dPG)-conjugated gold nanostars (GNSs) with different densities of functional groups on the osteogenesis of MSCs are systematically investigated. dPG@GNS nanocomposites have good biocompatibility and the uptake by MSCs is in a functional group density-dependent manner. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs is promoted by all dPG@GNS nanocomposites, in terms of alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition, and expression of osteogenic protein and genes. Interestingly, the dPGOH@GNSs exhibit a slight upregulation in the expression of osteogenic markers, while the different charged densities of sulfate and amino groups show more efficacy in the promotion of osteogenesis. Meanwhile, the sulfated nanostars dPGS20@GNSs show the highest enhancement. Furthermore, various dPG@GNS nanocomposites exerted their effects by regulating the activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP) to affect osteogenic differentiation. These results indicate that dPG@GNS nanocomposites have functional group density-dependent influence on the osteogenesis of MSCs, which may provide a new insight into regulating stem cell fate.

Abstract
In adults, trauma imagery has proven to be a useful tool to assess the neural mechanisms of psychological trauma processing. In adolescents, heterogeneous results could be found for other tasks, however, a trauma imagery paradigm has not been evaluated. For this purpose, we investigated a trauma imagery paradigm with control scripts to assess neural correlates of traumatic experiences in youth. 15 adolescents, who had experienced a traumatic interpersonal event in the past and have developed clinically relevant symptoms, underwent an fMRI scan while listening to their individual trauma- versus two control scripts (positive/negative). We analysed a parametric contrast of the imagery phases (trauma > negative > positive) which revealed activity in the thalamus, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, cuneus, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex and amygdala. Additionally, amygdala-activity correlated positively with depression-symptom-severity. Our data provide evidence for the feasibility of fMRI during a trauma imagery task in adolescents to investigate networks previously related to hyperarousal in adults with PTSD. Further, we demonstrate the specificity of the activated networks for trauma imagery as compared to imagery of other emotional situations. The task might be particularly useful to evaluate neural correlates of treatment in adolescents when hyperarousal is a target symptom.

Abstract
Recent advancements in bioanalytical techniques have led to the development of novel and robust diagnostic approaches that hold promise for providing optimal patient treatment, guiding prevention programs and widening the scope of personalized medicine. However, these advanced diagnostic techniques are still complex, expensive and limited to centralized healthcare facilities or research laboratories. This significantly hinders the use of evidence-based diagnostics for resource-limited settings and the primary care, thus creating a gap between healthcare providers and patients, leaving these populations without access to precision and quality medicine. Smartphone-based imaging and sensing platforms are emerging as promising alternatives for bridging this gap and decentralizing diagnostic tests offering practical features such as portability, cost-effectiveness and connectivity. Moreover, towards simplifying and automating bioanalytical techniques, biosensors and lab-on-a-chip technologies have become essential to interface and integrate these assays, bringing together the high precision and sensitivity of diagnostic techniques with the connectivity and computational power of smartphones. Here, we provide an overview of the emerging field of clinical smartphone diagnostics and its contributing technologies, as well as their wide range of areas of application, which span from haematology to digital pathology and rapid infectious disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Nanoparticles hold a great promise in biomedical science. However, due to their unique physical and chemical properties they can lead to overproduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). As an important mechanism of nanotoxicity, there is a great need for sensitive and high-throughput adaptable single-cell ROS detection methods. Here, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is employed for single-cell ROS detection (FLIM-ROX) providing increased sensitivity and enabling high-throughput analysis in fixed and live cells. FLIM-ROX owes its sensitivity to the discrimination of autofluorescence from the unique fluorescence lifetime of the ROS reporter dye. The effect of subcytotoxic amounts of cationic gold nanoparticles in J774A.1 cells and primary human macrophages on ROS generation is investigated. FLIM-ROX measures very low ROS levels upon gold nanoparticle exposure, which is undetectable by the conventional method. It is demonstrated that cellular morphology changes, elevated senescence, and DNA damage link the resulting low-level oxidative stress to cellular adverse effects and thus nanotoxicity. Multiphoton FLIM-ROX enables the quantification of spatial ROS distribution in vivo, which is shown for skin tissue as a target for nanoparticle exposure. Thus, this innovative method allows identifying of low-level ROS in vitro and in vivo and, subsequently, promotes understanding of ROS-associated nanotoxicity.

Abstract
Dendritic hPG-amid-C18-mPEG core-multishell nanocarriers (CMS) represent a novel class of unimolecular micelles that hold great potential as drug transporters, e.g., to facilitate topical therapy in skin diseases. Atopic dermatitis is among the most common inflammatory skin disorders with complex barrier alterations which may affect the efficacy of topical treatment.Here, we tested the penetration behavior and identified target structures of unloaded CMS after topical administration in healthy mice and in mice with oxazolone-induced atopic dermatitis. We further examined whole body distribution and possible systemic side effects after simulating high dosage dermal penetration by subcutaneous injection.Following topical administration, CMS accumulated in the stratum corneum without penetration into deeper viable epidermal layers. The same was observed in atopic dermatitis mice, indicating that barrier alterations in atopic dermatitis had no influence on the penetration of CMS. Following subcutaneous injection, CMS were deposited in the regional lymph nodes as well as in liver, spleen, lung, and kidney. However, in vitro toxicity tests, clinical data, and morphometry-assisted histopathological analyses yielded no evidence of any toxic or otherwise adverse local or systemic effects of CMS, nor did they affect the severity or course of atopic dermatitis.Taken together, CMS accumulate in the stratum corneum in both healthy and inflammatory skin and appear to be highly biocompatible in the mouse even under conditions of atopic dermatitis and thus could potentially serve to create a depot for anti-inflammatory drugs in the skin.

Abstract
Novel nanogels that possess the capacity to change their physico-chemical properties in response to external stimuli are promising drug-delivery candidates for the treatment of severe skin diseases. As thermoresponsive nanogels (tNGs) are capable of enhancing penetration through biological barriers such as the stratum corneum and are taken up by keratinocytes of human skin, potential adverse consequences of their exposure must be elucidated. In this study, tNGs were synthesized from dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) and two thermoresponsive polymers. tNG_dPG_tPG are the combination of dPG with poly(glycidyl methyl ether-co-ethyl glycidyl ether) (p(GME-co-EGE)) and tNG_dPG_pNIPAM the one with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM). Both thermoresponsive nanogels are able to incorporate high amounts of dexamethasone and tacrolimus, drugs used in the treatment of severe skin diseases. Cellular uptake, intracellular localization and the toxicological properties of the tNGs were comprehensively characterized in primary normal human keratinocytes (NHK) and in spontaneously transformed aneuploid immortal keratinocyte cell line from adult human skin (HaCaT). Laser scanning confocal microscopy revealed fluorescently labeled tNGs entered into the cells and localized predominantly within lysosomal compartments. MTT assay, comet assay and carboxy-H2DCFDA assay, demonstrated neither cytotoxic or genotoxic effects, nor any induction of reactive oxygen species of the tNGs in keratinocytes. In addition, both tNGs were devoid of eye irritation potential as shown by bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test and red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis assay. Therefore, our study provides evidence that tNGs are locally well tolerated and underlines their potential for cutaneous drug delivery.

Abstract
Objective—
Lipoprotein(a)-hyperlipoproteinemia (Lp(a)-HLP) along with progressive cardiovascular disease has been approved as indication for regular lipoprotein apheresis (LA) in Germany since 2008. We aimed to study the long-term preventive effect of LA and to assess hypothetical clinical correlations of apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) by analyzing genotypes and phenotypes.
Approach and Results—
This prospective observational multicenter study included 170 patients with Lp(a)-HLP and progressive cardiovascular disease (48.9 years median age at diagnosis) despite other cardiovascular risk factors, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol had maximally been treated (mean baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol: measured, 2.56 mmol/L [98.9 mg/dL] and corrected, 1.72 mmol/L [66.3 mg/dL]). Patients were prospectively investigated during a 5-year period about annual incidence rates of cardiovascular events. In addition, apo(a) isoforms and polymorphisms at the apo(a) gene (
LPA
) were characterized. One hundred fifty-four patients (90.6%) completed 5 years of follow-up. Mean Lp(a) concentration before commencing regular LA was 108.1 mg/dL. This was reduced by a single LA treatment by 68.1% on average. Significant decline of the mean annual cardiovascular event rate was observed from 0.58±0.53 2 years before regular LA to 0.11±0.15 thereafter (
P
<0.0001); 95.3% of patients expressed at least 1 small apo(a) isoform. Small apo(a) isoform (35.2%) carrying phenotypes were not tagged by single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs10455872 or rs3798220.
Conclusions—
Results of 5 years of prospective follow-up confirm that LA has a lasting effect on prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with Lp(a)-HLP. Patients clinically selected by progressive cardiovascular disease were characterized by a highly frequent expression of small apo(a) isoforms. Only Lp(a) concentration seemed to comprehensively reflect Lp(a)-associated cardiovascular risk, however.

Abstract
Considering the critical role of mitochondria in the life and death of cells, non-invasive long-term tracking of mitochondria has attracted considerable interest. However, a high-performance mitochondria-specific labeling probe with high photostability is still lacking. Herein a highly photostable hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG)-based near-infrared (NIR) quantum dots (QDs) nanoplatform is reported for mitochondria-specific cell imaging. Comprising NIR Zn-Cu-In-S/ZnS QDs as extremely photostable fluorescent labels and alkyl chain (C12 )/triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-functionalized hPG derivatives as protective shell, the tailored QDs@hPG-C12 /TPP nanoprobe with a hydrodynamic diameter of about 65 nm exhibits NIR fluorescence, excellent biocompatibility, good stability, and mitochondria-targeted ability. Cell uptake experiments demonstrate that QDs@hPG-C12 /TPP displays a significantly enhanced uptake in HeLa cells compared to nontargeted QDs@hPG-C12 . Further co-localization study indicates that the probe selectively targets mitochondria. Importantly, compared with commercial deep-red mitochondria dyes, QDs@hPG-C12 /TPP possesses superior photostability under continuous laser irradiation, indicating great potential for long-term mitochondria labeling and tracking. Moreover, drug-loaded QDs@hPG-C12 /TPP display an enhanced tumor cell killing efficacy compared to nontargeted drugs. This work could open the door to the construction of organelle-targeted multifunctional nanoplatforms for precise diagnosis and high-efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
The development of effective nonviral vectors for gene therapy is still a challenge in research, due to the high toxicity of many existing polycationic nanocarriers. In this paper, the development of two pH-cleavable polyglycerol-amine-based nanocarriers is described. The benz-acetal bond represents the pH-sensitive cleavage site between dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) and glycerol-based 1,2-diamines that can complex genetic material. Due to the acid lability of the acetal moiety, the cleavable dPG-amines are less toxic in vitro. Cell-mediated degradation results in non-toxic dPG with low amine functionalization and low molecular weight cleavage products (cp). The genetic material is released because of the loss of multivalent amine groups. Interestingly, the release kinetics at the endosomal pH could be controlled by simple chemical modification of the acetals. In vitro experiments demonstrate the ability of the cleavable dPG-amine to transfect HeLa cells with GFP-DNA, which resulted in cell-compatible cleavage products.

Abstract
The topical application of drugs allows for a local application in skin disease and can reduce side effects. Here we present biodegradable core-multishell (CMS) nanocarriers which are composed of a hyperbranched polyglycerol core functionalized with diblock copolymers consisting of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) as the outer shell. The anti-inflammatory drug Dexamethasone (Dexa) was loaded into these CMS nanocarriers. DLS results suggested that Dexa loaded nanoparticles mostly act as a unimolecular carrier system. With longer PCL segments, a better transport capacity is observed. In vitro skin permeation studies showed that CMS nanocarriers could improve the Nile red penetration through the skin by up to 7 times, compared to a conventional cream formulation. Interestingly, covalently FITC-labeled CMS nanocarriers remain in the stratum corneum layer. This suggests the enhancement is due to the release of cargo after being transported into the stratum corneum by the CMS nanocarriers. In addition, the hPG-PCL-mPEG CMS nanocarriers exhibited good stability, low cytotoxicity, and their production can easily be scaled up, which makes them promising nanocarriers for topical drug delivery.

Abstract
In this case report, we describe the case of a 30-year-old obese patient with severe acute pancreatitis complicated during hospitalization by the development of infected necrosis, a pseudocyst and an abscess. We demonstrate a possible solution to these complications using a combination of minimally invasive approaches. The contribution of this case report resides in that it presents a combination of the percutaneous approach and the endosonographic approach in the treatment of pancreatic necrosis. We believe that in such an extensive necrosis of the pancreas as is described in our case, this combined approach is optimal. The condition for implementing such a procedure is a well-staffed and technically equipped workplace.

Abstract
Objective In patients with multiple myeloma, bendamustine monotherapy is effective as 1st and 2nd line therapy. However, data for patients with advanced multiple myeloma is rare. Methods In this retrospective analysis we have identified 39 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma by means of case research, who have been treated at our institution with bendamustine as salvage therapy. After in median 2 lines of prior therapy (range:1-5) patients received in median 3 (range: 1-10) cycles of bendamustine. Bendamustine dosage was 80-150 mg on day 1+2 of a monthly cycle. Bendamustine was administered as monotherapy in 39% of patients, whereas 61% received concomitant steroids. Results Toxicity was mild to moderate. Response rates were as follows: 3% vgPR, 33% PR, 18% MR, 26% SD and 20% PD. The median event-free and overall survival were 7 and 17 months, respectively. Conclusions In conclusion, in patients with advanced multiple myeloma bendamustine is effective and associated with mild toxicity. Therefore, the role of bendamustine in patients with multiple myeloma should be investigated in further clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS To compare the rate of detection of colorectal neoplastic lesions using the selective photosensitizer precursor hexaminolevulinate (HAL) combined with a new fluorescence video endoscope system against that of standard white light endoscopy, and secondarily, to evaluate the safety profile of HAL-induced fluorescence colonoscopy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective phase II clinical pilot study from two hospital study centers included 25 patients with known or highly suspected colorectal neoplasia. They underwent sensitization with locally applied 500 ml HAL enemas at a concentration of 1.6 mmol/L. At 60 minutes after enteral HAL administration, fluorescence imaging was done using a special light source capable of delivering either white light or blue excitation light. Red fluorescence induced by illumination with blue light was detected via a prototype fluorescence video colonoscope. Biopsies were taken from suspicious areas found with white or blue light. RESULTS Using histology as the gold standard, 55 / 93 of neoplastic lesions were detected with white light endoscopy, 53 / 93 with both white and blue light, 38 / 93 with blue light and second-pass white light, and 27/93 with blue light only. Of all neoplastic lesions, 91 / 93 revealed red fluorescence under fluorescence imaging ( P < 0.0001). Fluorescence mode showed 38.7 % (36 / 93) more neoplasms than did white light endoscopy. An isolated slight elevation of bilirubin, by a factor of 1.5, was noted after the administration of HAL. CONCLUSIONS Administration of HAL as enema induces selective lesion fluorescence and increases lesion detection rate in patients with colorectal neoplasia, especially of flat, nonvisible adenomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This randomized, double-blinded volunteer study was designed to evaluate the ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic for sciatic nerve blocks using a step-up/step-down methodology. METHODS A maximum of 20 volunteers were included to receive an ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block with mepivacaine 1.5% and a starting volume of 0.2 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area. In cases of a complete sensory block, the volume was reduced by 0.02 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area until the first block failed. Thereafter, the volume of local anaesthetic was increased by 0.02 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area. After three cycles of successful/failed blocks, the ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic could be calculated by a probability function. The influence of the volumes of local anaesthetics on sensory onset times and duration of sensory block was evaluated by linear regression. RESULTS The ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic for sciatic nerve block was calculated with 0.10 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area. The correlation between the volume of local anaesthetic and the sensory onset time was weak (r=0.14), whereas the correlation between the volume of local anaesthetic and the duration of sensory block was moderate (r=0.65). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study where an ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic for sciatic nerve block has been evaluated. The resulting local anaesthetic volume of 0.10 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area seems to have no impact on sensory onset time, whereas the duration of sensory block is shorter.

Abstract
Cyproterone acetate (CPA) has been discovered more than 25 years ago and it was the first antiandrogen suitable for clinical use. CPA inhibits the action of endogenous and exogenous androgens at all androgen target organs; these include the prostate, seminal vesicles, testes, and the vas deferens. However, this antiandrogen also antagonizes less sex-specific effects of androgens, for example ossification of the epiphyseal cartilage, sebaceous gland function and skin thickness. Indications for CPA: Prostate cancer, androgen induced disorders of the skin (acne, seborrhoea, hirsutism, alopecia), precocious puberty and sexual disorders in men. Concerning sexual deviations clinical trials started in 1966. CPA leads to loss of libido and the ability to achieve erection, followed by the inability to achieve orgasm, after about 14 days of treatment (100-200 mg daily orally or 300 mg weekly i.m.). These effects are reversed in the same order as the onset. About 75 to 80% of patients respond to this therapy. CPA is generally well tolerated. Tiredness, lack of drive, listlessness and depressive moods have been reported as non-specific side-effects. Slight gynecomastia occurs in about 20% of patients. There are no good alternatives in this indication. Pure antiandrogens are unsuitable, because these are unable to inhibit libido sufficiently. Tranquilizers are not very effective, high doses of estrogens are associated with severe (cardiovascular) side effects. Orchidectomy is an irreversible intervention, LHRH analogues are associated with hot flushes and the initial increase in testosterone (flare phenomenon).
