Abstract
Transplant oncology is an emerging concept of cancer treatment with a promising prospective outcome. The applications of oncology, transplant medicine, and surgery are the core of transplant oncology to improve patients' survival and quality of life. The main concept of transplant oncology is to radically cure cancer by removing the diseased organ and replacing it with a healthy one, aiming to improve the survival outcomes and quality of life of cancer patients. Subsequently, it seeks to expand the treatment options and research for hepatobiliary malignancies, which have seen significantly improved survival outcomes after the implementation of liver transplantation (LT). In the case of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the transplant setting, where the liver is the most common site of metastasis of patients who are considered to have unresectable disease, initial studies have shown improved survival for LT treatment compared to palliative therapy interventions. The indications of LT for hepatobiliary malignancies have been slowly expanded over the years beyond Milan criteria in a stepwise manner. However, the outcome improvements and overall patient survival are limited to the specifics of the setting and systematic intervention options. This review aims to illustrate the representative concepts and history of transplant oncology as an emerging discipline for the management of hepatobiliary malignancies, in addition to other emerging concepts, such as the uses of immunotherapy in a peri-transplant setting as well as the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for surveillance post-transplantation.

Abstract
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has significantly improved outcomes across a range of malignancies. While infections are a well-known contributor to morbidity and mortality amongst patients receiving systemic chemotherapy regimens, little is known about the impact of infections on patients receiving ICI therapy. This study aims to assess incidence, risk factors, and outcomes in patients who develop infections while on pembrolizumab-based therapies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Patients receiving pembrolizumab for stage III/IV NSCLC from 1/1/2017-8/1/2021 across seven hospitals were identified. Incidence and type of infection were characterized. Covariates including baseline demographics, treatment information, treatment toxicities, and immunosuppressive use were collected and compared between infected and non-infected patients. Outcomes included the rate of infections, all-cause hospital admissions, median number of treatment cycles, overall survival (OS), and progression free survival (PFS). Univariable and multivariable analysis with reported odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were utilized to evaluate infection risks. OS and PFS were analyzed by Kaplan−Meier analysis and tested by log-rank test. p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were 243 NSCLC patients that met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 111 (45.7%) had one documented infection, and 36 (14.8%) had two or more. Compared to non-infected patients, infected patients had significantly more all-cause Emergency Department (ED) [37 (33.3%) vs. 26 (19.7%), p = 0.016], hospital [87 (78.4%) vs. 53 (40.1%), p < 0.001], and ICU visits [26 (23.4%) vs. 5 (3.8%), p < 0.001], and had poorer median OS (11.53 [95% CI 6.4−16.7] vs. 21.03 [95% CI: 14.7−24.2] months, p = 0.033). On multivariable analysis, anti-infective therapy (OR 3.32, [95% CI: 1.26−8.76], p = 0.015) and ECOG of >1 (OR 5.79, [95% CI 1.72−19.47], p = 0.005) at ICI initiation conferred an increased risk for infections. At last evaluation, 74 (66.7%) infected and 70 (53.0%) non-infected patients died (p = 0.041). Conclusion: Infections occurred in nearly half of patients receiving pembrolizumab-based therapies for NSCLC. Infected patients had frequent hospitalizations, treatment delays, and poorer survival. ECOG status and anti-infective use at ICI initiation conferred a higher infection risk. Infection prevention and control strategies are needed to ameliorate the risk for infections in patients receiving ICIs.

Abstract
e16201 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the world's sixth most prevalent cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. For patients with advanced HCC, trials combining TACE with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as Sorafenib have given mixed outcomes. (TACE) plus lenvatinib led showed significant improvement in OS compared to lenvatinib alone in the first-line setting in patients with advanced HCC according to phase 3 LAUNCH trial which was presented at the 2022 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. This study was aimed to compare the outcome of HCC patients who received TACE plus TKI agent versus TACE alone. Methods: Retrospectively all subjects with unresectable HCC were included in this study, who underwent liver transplantation (LT) and were treated by either TACE alone (TA) or TACE plus Sorafenib (TandS) between July 2008–December 2021. For categorical factors, HCC recurrence after LT was reported as frequencies and proportions, while for continuous variables, the median and interquartile range (IQR) or mean was used. For categorical variables, Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were used, while for continuous variables, Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Results: Seven hundred patients were screened; only 128 patients in total underwent LT with most being males (77%); the median age of 61.5 years. The TA group included 79 (77%) subjects who matched Milan Criteria (MC) and 24 (23%) who did not, but the TandS group had a greater number of cases who did not meet MC: 16 (64%) versus 9 (36%); p = 0.01. There was a significant variation in five-year disease-free survival (DFS) across the therapy groups investigated, with 100% DFS in the TandS group vs 67.2 percent in the TAne group (p = 0.07). The TandS group had a five-year patient survival rate of 77.8% compared to 61.5 percent in the TA group (p = 0.51). However, beyond the MC, patients who were treated with TA had the average percentage of necrotic tumor on resected histology of 43.8 %, 32 % compared to 69.6 %, 32.8 % for cases treated with TandS, p = 0.03. Conclusions: We have found that using TandS is generally well tolerated and demonstrated improved OS compared to TA in patients with unresectable HCC. A prospective clinical study (NCT05171335) is ongoing at our institution to further investigate this concept.

Abstract
4573 Background: Over the past decade, studies have shown the benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors (IO) in patients with advanced urothelial cancer. These agents work by reconditioning the adaptive anti-cancer immune response within the tumor microenvironment. Immune-related adverse events have been well documented, but there is limited data evaluating infections in patients treated with IO. We performed a retrospective analysis to assess the incidence of infection and its effect on morbidity and mortality in patients treated with pembrolizumab for advanced urothelial cancer. Methods: Data was collected from a network of 7 hospitals for patients who received pembrolizumab for advanced urothelial cancer from 1/1/2017-8/1/2021. Date of last follow up was 12/1/2021. Covariates compared among infected and non-infected cohorts included age, gender, race, comorbidities, ECOG, anti-infective therapy at IO initiation, and line of therapy (1L, 2L, > 2L). Univariable analysis with reported odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess risk factors for infection. Outcome measures included all-cause emergency department (ED) visits, inpatient and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, median number of IO cycles, and overall survival (OS). OS was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier model. All analyses were deemed statistically significant if the p-value was < 0.05. Results: A total of 51 patients were identified. Of these, 34 (66.7%) had at least one documented infection and 17 (33.3%) had no reported infections. Baseline characteristics were similar across cohorts. Compared to non-infected patients, infected patients received fewer cycles of IO (median 4 vs 8, p = 0.016). At last follow-up, 20 (58.8%) patients in the infected cohort and 4 (23.5%) in the non-infected cohort died (p = 0.017). Median OS was 7.4 months (95% CI: 3.4-24.9) among patients with infection while not reached in those without infection (p = 0.014). ED visits (p = 1.00), inpatient admissions (p = 0.21), and ICU admissions (p = 0.17) did not significantly differ between cohorts. Univariable analysis did not identify significant risks among covariates. Conclusions: The incidence of infection in patients treated with pembrolizumab for advanced urothelial cancer is high and associated with fewer cycles of IO therapy and shorter OS. Further study of infectious process prevention is of value to maximize immunotherapy benefit.

Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) has previously been considered a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). However, recent series showed favorable outcomes for LT after neoadjuvant therapy. Our center developed a protocol for neoadjuvant therapy and LT for patients with locally advanced, unresectable iCCA in 2010. Patients undergoing LT were required to demonstrate disease stability for 6 months on neoadjuvant therapy with no extrahepatic disease. During the study period, 32 patients were listed for LT and 18 patients underwent LT. For transplanted patients, the median number of iCCA tumors was 2, and the median cumulative tumor diameter was 10.4 cm. Patients receiving LT had an overall survival at 1-, 3-, and 5-years of 100%, 71%, and 57%. Recurrences occurred in seven patients and were treated with systemic therapy and resection. The study population had a higher than expected proportion of patients with genetic alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and DNA damage repair pathways. These data support LT as a treatment for highly selected patients with locally advanced, unresectable iCCA. Further studies to identify criteria for LT in iCCA and factors predicting survival are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant liver tumor. Currently, liver transplantation may be the optimal treatment for HCC in cirrhotic patients. Patient selection is currently based on tumor size. We developed a program to offer liver transplantation to selected patients with HCC outside of traditional criteria. METHODS Retrospective review for patients transplanted with HCC between April 2008 and June 2017. Patients were grouped by tumor size according to Milan, University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and outside UCSF criteria. Patient demographics, laboratory values, and outcomes were compared. Patients radiographically outside Milan criteria were selected based on tumor control with locoregional therapy (LRT) and 9 months of stability from LRT. α-fetoprotein values were not exclusionary. RESULTS Two hundred twenty HCC patients were transplanted, 138 inside Milan, 23 inside UCSF, and 59 beyond UCSF criteria. Patient survival was equivalent at 1, 3, or 5 years despite pathologic tumor size. Waiting time to transplantation was not significantly different at an average of 344 days. In patients outside UCSF, tumor recurrence was equivalent to Milan and UCSF criteria recipients who waited >9 months from LRT. Although tumor recurrence was more likely in outside of UCSF patients (3% versus 9% versus 15%; P = 0.02), recurrence-free survival only trended toward significance among the groups (P = 0.053). CONCLUSIONS Selective patients outside of traditional size criteria can be effectively transplanted with equivalent survival to patients with smaller tumors, even when pathologic tumor burden is considered. Tumor stability over time can be used to help select patients for transplantation.

Abstract
Factor V (FV) deficiency (F5D) is a rare hematological disorder with a variable spectrum of bleeding manifestations. Until now, no specific protocols for the management of these patients have been established. However, available literature suggests that perioperative infusion of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) may help maintain FV levels to prevent bleeding. We present the case of a 64-year-old man with previously undiagnosed severe FV deficiency and mild FV inhibitor, who underwent aortic valve replacement with no bleeding complications.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality among men and women in the United States. Its incidence has been on the rise, with a projected two-fold increase by 2030. PDAC carries a poor prognosis due to a lack of effective screening tools, limited understanding of pathophysiology, and ineffective treatment modalities. Recently, there has been a revolution in the world of oncology with the advent of novel treatments to combat this disease. However, the 5-year survival of PDAC remains unchanged at a dismal 8%. The aim of this review is to bring together several studies and identify various recent modalities that have been promising in treating PDAC.

Abstract
We combined femtosecond (fs) VIS pump-IR probe spectroscopy with fs VIS pump-supercontinuum probe spectroscopy to characterize the photoreaction of the hexacoordinated Al(tpfc-Br8)(py)2 in a comprehensive way. Upon fs excitation at ∼400 nm in the Soret band, the excitation energy relaxes with a time constant of (250 ± 80) fs to the S2 and S1 electronic excited states. This is evident from the rise time of the stimulated emission signal in the visible spectral range. On the same time scale, narrowing of broad infrared signals in the C=C stretching region around 1500 cm(-1) is observed. Energy redistribution processes are visible in the vibrational and electronic dynamics with time constants between ∼2 ps and ∼20 ps. Triplet formation is detected with a time constant of (95 ± 3) ps. This is tracked by the complete loss of stimulated emission. Electronic transition of the emerging triplet absorption band overlaps considerably with the singlet excited state absorption. In contrast, two well separated vibrational marker bands for triplet formation were identified at 1477 cm(-1) and at 1508 cm(-1). These marker bands allow a precise identification of triplet dynamics in corrole systems.

Abstract
Vibrational dynamics of the retinal all-trans to 13-cis photoisomerization in channelrhodopsin-1 from Chlamydomonas augustae (CaChR1) was investigated by femtosecond visible pump mid-IR probe spectroscopy. After photoexcitation, the transient infrared absorption of C-C stretching modes was detected. The formation of the 13-cis photoproduct marker band at 1193 cm(-1) was observed within the time resolution of 0.3 ps. We estimated the photoisomerization yield to (60 ± 6) %. We found additional time constants of (0.55 ± 0.05) ps and (6 ± 1) ps, assigned to cooling, and cooling processes with a back-reaction pathway. An additional bleaching band demonstrates the ground-state heterogeneity of retinal.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A recently developed multiparameter computer-aided expert system (TheMa) for guiding anticoagulation with phenprocoumon (PPC) was validated by a prospective investigation in 22 patients. The PPC-INR-response curve resulting from physician guided dosage was compared to INR values calculated by "twin calculation" from TheMa recommended dosage. Additionally, TheMa was used to predict the optimal time to perform surgery or invasive procedures after interruption of anticogulation therapy. RESULTS Comparison of physician and TheMa guided anticoagulation showed almost identical accuracy by three quantitative measures: Polygon integration method (area around INR target) 616.17 vs. 607.86, INR hits in the target range 166 vs. 161, and TTR (time in therapeutic range) 63.91 vs. 62.40 %. After discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy, calculating the INR phase-out curve with TheMa INR prognosis of 1.8 was possible with a standard deviation of 0.50 ± 0.59 days. CONCLUSION Guiding anticoagulation with TheMa was as accurate as Physician guided therapy. After interruption of anticoagulant therapy, TheMa may be used for calculating the optimal time performing operations or initiating bridging therapy.

Abstract
A small fraction of the total cellular amount of nuclear transcription factor p53 seems to be located at and within mitochondria. Transcription factors of the steroid receptor superfamily that, like p53, lack a classical mitochondrial leader sequence are nonetheless imported into mitochondria where they regulate mtDNA transcription through binding to specific recognition sequences. Here, we examined seven candidate sequences from the human mitochondrial genome with similarity to the consensus p53 binding motif. Two imperfect half-sites at coordinate 1553 with homology to the nuclear IGF-BP3 box A binding sequence are demonstrated to confer responsivity to p53 and the p53 relatives p73alpha and beta in the context of the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial p53 may thus bind directly to mtDNA and, perhaps, be involved in the regulation of mitochondrial transcription/replication.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder characterized by the inability of phagocytes to generate normal amounts of superoxide (O2-), leaving patients susceptible to life-threatening infections. It was previously assumed that once carriers of the X-linked form of CGD were found to have 30% or more of functionally normal neutrophils, they would be free of risk for infection because the lyonization ratio was believed to be constant. Our report strongly contradicts this assumption. A 45-year-old X-CGD carrier had approximately 40% of normal neutrophils in her peripheral blood at age 21 years. Recently, she contracted a life-threatening pulmonary infection with Aspergillus fumigatus. After recovery, the ratio of normal-to-nonfunctional neutrophils was re-evaluated. She was found to have only 6-8% of normal neutrophils, suggesting that a striking decrease in the number of normal cells over the past 25 years was the reason for an increased susceptibility to Aspergillus infection. We conclude that age-related acquired skewing of the lyonization ratio can result in an increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections in X-CGD carriers.

Abstract
The immunogenetic basis of severe infections caused by bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine and environmental mycobacteria in humans remains largely unknown. We describe 18 patients from several generations of 12 unrelated families who were heterozygous for 1 to 5 overlapping IFNGR1 frameshift small deletions and a wild-type IFNGR1 allele. There were 12 independent mutation events at a single mutation site, defining a small deletion hotspot. Neighbouring sequence analysis favours a small deletion model of slipped mispairing events during replication. The mutant alleles encode cell-surface IFNgamma receptors that lack the intra-cytoplasmic domain, which, through a combination of impaired recycling, abrogated signalling and normal binding to IFNgamma exert a dominant-negative effect. We thus report a hotspot for human IFNGR1 small deletions that confer dominant susceptibility to infections caused by poorly virulent mycobacteria.

Abstract
Serum and liver protein patterns were studied, respectively, in 5 patients (serum) and 1 patient (liver) with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS) type I by high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The pattern of serum glycoproteins in all 5 patients presented abnormal trains of isoforms with decreased mass (delta molecular weight 3000) and all showed a cathodal shift. Two-dimensional electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE mass analysis of transferrin, alpha1 -antitrypsin, haptoglobin beta-chain, and alpha1-acid glycoprotein after neuraminidase and N-glycosidase F treatments demonstrated that the additional trains of the isoforms found in CDGS type I contain homologous species of isoforms. Some of them still showed charge differences, and all still contained glycans except for transferrin, with some unusual nonglycosylated isoforms. In addition, deficiencies in clusterin and serum amyloid P, not described so far, have been found in all 5 patients. The two-dimensional pattern of immunodetected precursors of serum proteins in liver cells from 1 patient with CDGS showed abnormal low-mass precursors and the absence of the precursors normally found in controls. These results suggest that these abnormal precursors accumulate during the early oligosaccharide processing of the nascent protein-bound oligosaccharides and that glycoprotein precursors undergo an altered intracellular transport while the post-translational processing along the normal pathway is still apparently functioning in patients with CDGS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival rate for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma remains poor despite therapeutic advances over the last two decades. For patients with disease confined to the head and neck, there are two major and biologically distinct patterns of treatment failures after definitive therapy: recurrence of primary disease and development of second primary tumors. Understanding the biological basis of patterns of treatment failure after definitive therapy is needed to guide the development of adjuvant treatment and strategies to prevent second primary tumors. PURPOSE To determine whether expression of the p53 protein has prognostic significance and/or is associated with patterns of treatment failure, we examined protein expression in primary tumor specimens of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis with a monoclonal antibody (DO7) specific for p53 protein was used to detect expression of the protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 69 head and neck cancer patients treated with definitive local therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy) between January 1980 and October 1983 at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. We quantitated p53 protein expression and assessed its association with duration of patient survival, patterns of treatment failure (recurrence of primary tumor and development of second primary tumor), and other clinical parameters. All reported P values resulted from two-sided statistical tests. RESULTS We found detectable levels of p53 protein expression in the tumor cell nuclei of 41 of 69 patients. Thirty-six (52%) of 69 patients whose tumors exhibited p53 protein expression in greater than or equal to 10% of the cell nuclei were grouped as p53 positive, and 33 (48%) of 69 patients whose tumors exhibited less than 10% nuclear expression were groups as p53 negative. The clinical characteristics of the patients in the p53-positive, and p53-negative groups were well balanced. Overall survival was significantly lower, and the times to tumor recurrence, to second primary tumors, and to any treatment failure were significantly shorter in the p53-positive group that in the p53-negative group (P=.0002, P=.047, P=.003, and P=.0009, respectively), mainly because the p53 positivity was associated with earlier development of tumor recurrence and second primary tumors. The rate of second primary tumor development per person per year was also significantly higher in the p53-positive group that in the p53-negative group. By use of multivariate analysis according to the Cox regression model, p53 expression status was identified as the most significant predictor of overall survival duration (P=.007), time to tumor recurrence (P=.053), time to second primary tumors (P=.035), and time to any treatment failure (P=.004). CONCLUSIONS The expression of p53 protein in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was significantly predictive of shorter survival because of its association with earlier development of both tumor recurrence and second primary tumors. Thus, p53 expression may be a valuable marker for identifying individuals at high risk of developing a recurrence of primary disease and second primary tumors who may benefit from adjuvant therapy and chemoprevention after definitive local therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The "Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome" is a recently discovered inborn error of complex carbohydrate metabolism. The disease involves a number of organ systems and various deficient glycoproteins. An abnormal isoform of serum transferrin is of diagnostic value. METHODS We analysed the glycoprotein alpha-1-antitrypsin of two affected infants and their clinically healthy parents using high resolution isoelectric focusing technique. Besides normal isoforms of alpha-1-antitrypsin, we found an abnormal cathodic isoform ("CDG-alpha-1-antitrypsin") which represented almost half of the total amount of alpha-1-antitrypsin of the patients. RESULTS This new marker-glycoprotein suggests a defect of the production of biantennary and of triantennary N-glycans during an early step of their synthesis, resulting in monoantennary N-glycans. Also this marker-glycoprotein seems to be a specific biochemical diagnostic tool for discovering glycanosis CDG (Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome). The mode of inheritance is probably incomplete autosomal dominant. The same genetic defect of N-glycan synthesis may be present in more than one type of the hybrid molecule glycoprotein, and was also found in transferrin, resembling a "genetic back-pack", that might explain the multitude of clinical symptoms. CONCLUSION In view of these findings, we present novel systematics of those diseases that are due to inborn errors of N-glycan synthesis, and which we suggest to call "glycanoses".

Abstract
Microheterogeneity of the glycoprotein alpha 1-antitrypsin has been investigated sequentially by high resolution isoelectric focusing in a child with the proteinase inhibitor MS phenotype after near-drowning. A band-splitting with additional cathodal fractions exhibited migration from the most cathodic to the anodic positions of the glycoprotein isoforms in the course of post-resuscitation disease. The pattern may reflect the time- and stage-dependent hypoxic and post-hypoxic effects on hepatocellular metabolic zonation.

Abstract
Upon isoelectric focusing, alpha 1-antitrypsin shows a characteristic major band pattern caused by glycoprotein isoforms with different oligosaccharide side chains. In ten apparently healthy individuals with the Pi type MM the ratio of isoforms I, II, and III was 5.2:3.9:1.0. In six patients with glycogen storage disease Ib the ratio of isoforms in the Pi type MM was 3.6:5.5:1.9 suggesting a shift from the biantennary to triantennary oligosaccharide side chains. This shift may result from the limited availability of glucose or glucose derivatives for the synthesis of N-glycosidic glycoproteins.

Abstract
A 15 months old girl with gonarthritis, and positive antinuclear autoantibodies was found to have a genetically determined alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency of the rare protease inhibitory (Pi) type IZ. The possible significance of a disturbed equilibrium of cellular inflammation-promoting proteases and extracellular protease inhibition for the pathogenesis of chronic arthritis is discussed using as illustration the presented case.

Abstract
The mother of a boy who suffered from classical galactosaemia (galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency) has unilateral cataracta. In addition the boy had a decreased activity of the UDP-galactose-4-epimerase. The latter defect could also be demonstrated in the erythrocytes from the mother and the grandmother. In contrast to the finding of cataracta in the mother the grandmother with the same type of double heterozygosity was ophthalmologically normal. The implication of partial maternal disorders of galactose metabolism will be discussed in view of their possible role for the origin of cataracta.

Abstract
The postinfectious thrombocytosis occurring in 11 children with Haemophilus influenzae meningitis and/or septicaemia shows regular progress. The rise of thrombocyte concentrations starts around the 5th day after onset of antibiotic therapy, reaches values above 500,000/microliter between the 9th and 12th day, and relapses afterwards to normal values, which are reached around the 20th day. The range of thrombocytosis is influenced by the severity and complications (subdural effusions, secondary infection) of the infection as well as by the age of the patient. An inverse course of serum concentrations of C-reactive protein and thrombocyte concentrations points to the influence of this humoral reaction on the thrombocytic acute phase reaction.

Abstract
Intra vitam diagnostic procedures revealed a complete laryngo-tracheo-oesophageal cleft in a premature infant with respiratory distress. Anamnesis together with clinical and roentgenological symptoms suggested the diagnosis of oesophageal atresia or oesophago-tracheal fistula. The diagnosis of "oesophago-trachea" was finally confirmed by laryngo-tracheoscopy. The morphologic defect in this case was combined with partial supradiaphragmatic dislocation of the stomach and with intestinal malrotation.

Abstract
Glycogen storage disease type Ib has all the clinical manifestations of glycogen storage disease type Ia such as hepatomegaly, growth retardation, bleeding tendency, hypoglycemia, hyperlactacidemia, hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, impaired platelet function plus neutropenia. The overall glucose-6-phosphatase activity in disrupted microsomes from liver is normal whereas glucose-6-phosphate translocase, the first enzyme in the glucose-6-phosphate transport system is absent. There is no glucose-6-phosphatase activity in vivo. Recent results show that in granulocytes the glucose-6-phosphate-dependent hexosemonophosphate-shunt is impaired.

Abstract
To elucidate the basis for the recurrent infections in patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD) Ib we tested polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function in one patient. Bactericidal capacity and phagocytosis-induced O2 consumption were reduced. Also, phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated superoxide production and glucose oxidation through the hexose monophosphate shunt were diminished compared to control subjects. Therefore it could be speculated that in PMN of patients with GSD Ib, glucose-6-phosphate has no access to the enzymes of the hexose monophosphate shunt due to a transport-related defect as shown for glucogenesis in hepatocytes.

Abstract
In one case of Menkes' Syndrome (Trichopoliodystrophy), a monophylic vacuolisation of myeloic cells (promyelocytes) of the bone marrow was observed. This finding correlates with an identical observation reported in medical literature, as well as with vacuolisations of metabolic active cells of the brain, musculature and skin observed in patients suffering from this disease. In the present paper, this finding is interpreted as an expression of the underlying disease and of the deficiency of oxidative cell ferment systems, and is discussed as a possible diagnostic and therapeutic criterion.

Abstract
A storage disease with cardiomegaly, generalized muscular hypotonia, cerebral dysfunction, failure to thrive and early death is described in two siblings. The first one died at the age of 10 months, the second at the age of 17 months. The symptoms were mainly due to lysosomal storage of a substance which had a positive reaction to PAS and Best's stain and which was resistant to diastase. This substance was stored in nearly all the organs, especially in the heart, liver, spleen and less in the brain and skeletal muscles. An increased renal excretion of ethanolamine, a greatly increased hepatic concentration of ethanolamine and diminished hepatic ethanolamine kinase activity could be demonstrated. Ethanolamine is essential for the synthesis of phospholipids. Both parents showed increased renal excretion of taurine. In several aspects, this syndrome is similar to the glycogenosis type II described by Pompe.
