Abstract
BACKGROUND Persisting cancer-related fatigue impairs health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and social reintegration in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). The GHSG HD18 trial established treatment de-escalation for advanced-stage HL guided by positron emission tomography after two cycles (PET-2) as new standard. Here, we investigate the impact of treatment de-escalation on long-term HRQoL, time to recovery from fatigue (TTR-F), and time to return to work (TTR-W). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and life situation questionnaires at baseline, interim, end of treatment, and yearly follow-up. TTR-F was defined as time from the end of chemotherapy until the first fatigue score <30. TTR-W was analyzed in previously working or studying patients and measured from the end of treatment until the first documented work or education. We compared duration of treatment on TTR-F and TTR-W using Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for confounding variables. RESULTS HRQoL questionnaires at baseline were available in 1632 (83.9%) of all randomized patients. Overall, higher baseline fatigue and age were significantly associated with longer TTR-F and TTR-W and male sex with shorter TTR-W. Treatment reduction from eight to four chemotherapy cycles led to a significantly shorter TTR-F [hazard ratio (HR) 1.41, P = 0.008] and descriptively shorter TTR-W (HR 1.24, P = 0.084) in PET-2-negative patients. Reduction from six to four cycles led to non-significant but plausible intermediate accelerations. The addition of rituximab caused significantly slower TTR-F (HR 0.70, P = 0.0163) and TTR-W (HR 0.64, P = 0.0017) in PET-2-positive patients. HRQoL at baseline and age were the main determinants of 2-year HRQoL. CONCLUSIONS Individualized first-line treatment in patients with advanced-stage HL considerably shortens TTR-F and TTR-W in PET-2-negative patients. Our results support the use of response-adapted shortened treatment duration for patients with HL.

Abstract
The dynamics of a tracer particle in a bath of quasi-hard colloidal spheres is studied by Langevin dynamics simulations and mode coupling theory (MCT); the tracer radius is varied from equal to up to seven times larger than the bath particles radius. In the simulations, two cases are considered: freely diffusing tracer (passive microrheology) and tracer pulled with a constant force (active microrheology). Both cases are connected by linear response theory for all tracer sizes. It links both the stationary and transient regimes of the pulled tracer (for low forces) with the equilibrium correlation functions; the velocity of the pulled tracer and its displacement are obtained from the velocity auto-correlation function and the mean squared displacement, respectively. The MCT calculations give insight into the physical mechanisms: At short times, the tracer rattles in its cage of neighbours, with the frequency increasing linearly with the tracer radius asymptotically. The long-time tracer diffusion coefficient from passive microrheology, which agrees with the inverse friction coefficient from the active case, arises from the transport of transverse momentum around the tracer. It can be described with the Brinkman equation for the transverse flow field obtained in extension of MCT, but cannot be recovered from the MCT kernel coupling to densities only. The dynamics of the bath particles is also studied; for the unforced tracer the dynamics is unaffected. When the tracer is pulled, the velocity field in the bath follows the prediction of the Brinkman model, but different from the case of a Newtonian fluid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectal cancer treatment has improved considerably due to the introduction of total meso-rectal excision, radio-chemotherapy, and high-resolution imaging. The aim of this observational cohort study was to quantify the effectiveness of these advances using high-quality data from a representative cohort of patients. METHODS 20 281 non-metastasized cases retrieved from the Munich Cancer Registry database were divided into three time periods corresponding to before (1988-1997), partial (1998-2007), and full implementation (2008-2019) of clinical advances. Early-onset (<50 yrs.), middle-aged, elderly patient subgroups (> 70 yrs.) were compared. The overall effectiveness of evidence-based guideline adherence was also examined. RESULTS Median survival improved by 1.5 yrs. from the first to the last time period. Relative survival increased from 74.9% (5-yr 95%CI[73.3 - 76.6]) to 79.2% (95%CI[77.8 - 80.5]). The incidence of locoregional recurrences was reduced dramatically by more than half (5-yr 17.7% (95%CI[16.5 - 18.8]); 6.7% (95%CI[6.1 - 7.3])). Gains in 5-yr relative survival were limited to early-onset and middle-aged patients with no significant improvement seen in elderly patients (Female 68.6% [63.9 - 73.3] to 67.6% [64.0 - 71.2]; Male 71.7% [65.9 - 77.4] to 74.0% [70.8 - 77.2]). CONCLUSIONS Real-world evidence suggests that recent treatment advances have lead to an increase in prognosis for rectal cancer patients. However, more effort should be made to improve the implementation of new developments in elderly patients. Especially considering, that these cases represent a growing majority of diagnosed patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The HD 16 and 17 trials by the German Hodgkin Study Group (GHSG) have evaluated the use of consolidative radiotherapy (RT) in early-favorable and -unfavorable stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), respectively (1, 2). Quality of RT planning and execution is pivotal for treatment outcome in HL with protocol violations jeopardizing prognosis (3). Consequently, the present work aims at a decisive analysis of quality and dosimetry in the modern era. MATERIALS/METHODS Random samples of 100 involved-field RT (IFRT) plans in HD16 and 176 plans in HD17 (134 involved-node RT (INRT) and 42 IFRT) were selected for analysis. Evaluation was performed systematically by the reference radiation oncology panel using pre-chemotherapy imaging, recommendation by the reference radiation oncology and RT planning imaging and graded as "correct", "minor" or "major deviation", respectively. RT doses to the target volume and organs at risks (OAR) were analyzed using dose-volume histograms. RESULTS Median RT doses were 20 Gy (19.8 Gy-21.6 Gy) in HD16 and 30 Gy in HD17 (IFRT: 18-30.6 Gy, INRT: 14 Gy-40 Gy). Overall, 84.0%, 69.0%, and 76.1% of RT series in HD16, the IFRT-group of HD17 and the INRT-group of HD17, respectively, were planned correctly. The main reason for major deviation was an insufficient coverage of an involved region (11 %-14.3 %). There was no significant difference in quality between IFRT and INRT in HD17 (p = 0.418 for any deviations; p = 0.466 for major deviations). In comparison to previous GHSG studies in the respective stages, a significant increase in correct RT-series (p<0.001) and decrease in major deviations (p<0.001) occurred. However, doses to OAR varied individually with median values of 4.3 Gy (0.2 Gy-9.2 Gy), 4.7 Gy (0.2 Gy-15.2 Gy) and 3.8 Gy (0.0 Gy-16.0 Gy) for mean doses to the right lung, left lung and heart in HD16, respectively. Correspondingly, values were 9.8 Gy (0.3 Gy-20.0 Gy), 10.5 Gy (0.2 Gy-26.5 Gy) and 13.1 Gy (0.5 Gy-30.4 Gy) for mean doses to the right lung, left lung and heart in HD17, respectively. The size of the planning target volume decreased significantly with INRT compared to IFRT (median values: 1163.1 ml vs. 1464.3 ml; p = 0.043). However, only some OAR-parameters (V25 of the right and left lung, respectively, thyroid and spinal cord) showed significant differences between INRT and IFRT in HD17. The use of intensity-modulated techniques in HD 17 resulted in an increase in V5 and V10 of the lungs with a concomitant decrease in V20-V30. CONCLUSION Quality of RT in the planning and treatment of HL has improved significantly with the latest GHSG study generation. Future analyses will focus on a further individualization of treatment fields. LITERATURE

Abstract
Introduction Reliable biomarkers for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are of paramount clinical value. To date, synovial fluid leukocyte count is the standard surrogate parameter indicating PJI. As D-lactate is almost solely produced by bacteria, it represents a promising molecule in the diagnostic workflow of PJI evaluation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the performance of synovial fluid D-lactate for diagnosing PJI of the hip and knee. Materials and Methods These are preliminary results of a prospective multicenter study from one academic center. Seventy-two consecutive patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were prospectively included. All patients received a joint aspiration in order to rule out or confirm PJI, which was diagnosed according to previously published institutional criteria. Synovial fluid D-lactate was determined spectrophotometrically at 450 nm. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic performance. Results Eighteen patients (25%) were diagnosed with PJI and 54 patients (75%) were classified as aseptic. Synovial fluid D-lactate showed a sensitivity of 90.7% (95% CI: 79.7%-96.9%) and specificity of 83.3% (95% CI: 58.6%-96.4%) at a cut-off of 0.04 mmol/L. The median concentration of D-lactate was significantly higher in patients with PJI than in those with aseptic conditions (0.048 mmol/L, range, 0.026-0.076 mmol/L vs. 0.024 mmol/L, range, 0.003-0.058 mmol/L, p < 0.0001). The predominat microogranisms were staphylococci, followed by streptococci and gram-negative bacteria. Conclusion D-lactate bears a strong potential to act as a valuable biomarker for diagnosing PJI of the hip and knee. In our study, a cutoff of 0.04 mmol/L showed a comparable sensitivity to synovial fluid leukocyte count. However, its specificity was higher compared to conventional diagnostic tools. The additional advantages of D-lactate testing are requirement of low synovial fluid volume, short turnaround time and low cost.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die mediterrane Ernährung (MedE) zeigte in mehreren
Studien einen präventiven Effekt hinsichtlich Typ 2 Diabetes,
kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen und Tumorerkrankungen. Zur MedE wird in
der Regel ein mäßiger Konsum von Wein, speziell Rotwein,
empfohlen, dem selbst ein kardioprotektiver Effekt zugesprochen wird. Jedoch
zeigen zahlreiche Studien, dass schon kleine Mengen Alkohol das Krebsrisiko
erhöhen können. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll eine
Übersicht zur aktuellen Datenlage zum Zusammenhang zwischen dem
Alkoholkonsum im Rahmen einer MedE, dem Krebsrisiko sowie dem Risiko für
kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen erstellt werden.
Methoden Im Rahmen einer systematischen Literaturrecherche in den
Datenbanken PubMed und Scopus wurde nach den Schlagwörtern
„diet, mediterranean“ und „alcohol drinking“
gesucht. Voraussetzung war, dass Angaben zur Art und Menge des konsumierten
Alkohols im Rahmen der MedE vorlagen.
Ergebnisse Die Umsetzung der MedE kann sowohl das Risiko
kardiometabolischer Erkrankungen als auch das Krebsrisiko u. a.
für Brustkrebs senken. Moderater Alkoholkonsum zeigt protektive Effekte
auf das Herz-Kreislauf-System, ist jedoch mit einem erhöhten Risiko
für diverse Krebserkrankungen assoziiert. Mehrere Studien beschreiben
eine Assoziation zwischen Alkoholkonsum und Brustkrebsinzidenz, wobei die
Ergebnisse zwischen den Studien nicht einheitlich waren. Dabei kommt dem
täglichen Glas Rotwein mit ca. 10–15 g Ethanol als
vorherrschendem alkoholischen Getränk der Mittelmeerregion eine
risikosenkende Wirkung zu.
Schlussfolgerung Moderater Konsum von Rotwein hat nach der vorliegenden
systematischen Literaturanalyse, anders als andere alkoholische
Getränke, einen protektiven Effekt auf kardiometabolische Erkrankungen
und möglicherweise auch auf genetisch bedingten Brustkrebs,
während der Konsum von anderen Alkoholgetränken die
schützende Wirkung einer MedE möglicherweise reduziert.

Abstract
Introduction Lesions of the quadriceps or patellar tendon after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are a rare but serious complication which, if left untreated, can lead to loss of function of the knee joint. While acute and subacute extensor mechanism disruptions may have several causes, chronic deficiencies are often related to multiple prior revision surgeries for joint infection or aseptic TKA failure. Up to date, biological allograft reconstruction showed unsatisfying results. The use of a monofilament polypropylene mesh is a promising approach for this pathological condition. The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical, functional and patient reported outcomes of this procedure in patients with chronic extensor mechanism deficiency. Materials and Methods Twenty-eight patients with chronic extensor mechanism deficiency (quadriceps tendon rupture n = 9, patellar tendon rupture n = 19) after TKA were included in this retrospective study. None of the patients were lost to follow-up. Surgical reconstruction was performed at one institution between 2014 and 2020 with a monofilament polypropylene mesh (Marlex Mesh, Bard, Murray Hill, USA). The mean age at the time of surgery was 69 years. Patients presented with a mean BMI of 33 kg/m2. The mean follow-up period was 23 months. Results The 2-year survivorship free of mesh revision was 89% [95% confidence interval (CI): 75% to 100%]. Three patients (11%) had to undergo revision because of mechanical mesh failure and received another polypropylene mesh. No further revisions were performed thereafter. Flexion was 87° (range, 30–120°) on average. The majority of patients (75%, 21/28) had a full active extension. The mean active extension lag after surgery was 4 degrees (range, 0–30°). Discussion We observed a substantial improvement of extensor mechanism function. The majority of patients had full extension and showed good clinical results. A failure rate of over 50% has been published for alternative procedures. Thus, the use of the described augmentation technique represents a reasonable treatment option for chronic extensor mechanism disruptions of the patellar tendon as well as the quadriceps tendon after total knee arthroplasty. However, there might be a potentially higher risk for infection persistence in periprosthetic joint infection cases due to the presence of a foreign material.

Abstract
Background The prognostic and predictive value of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) has not yet been defined from prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Patients and methods A total of 165 LAPC patients were treated within the NEOLAP RCT for 16 weeks with multiagent induction chemotherapy [ICT; either nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine alone or nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine followed by FOLFIRINOX (combination of fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin)] followed by surgical exploration of all patients without evidence of disease progression. CA 19-9 was determined at baseline and after ICT and correlated with overall survival (OS) and secondary R0 resection rate. Results From the NEOLAP study population (N = 165) 133 patients (81%) were evaluable for CA 19-9 at baseline and 81/88 patients (92%) for post-ICT CA 19-9 response. Median OS (mOS) in the CA 19-9 cohort (n = 133) was 16.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 13.0-19.4] and R0 resection (n = 31; 23%) was associated with a significant survival benefit [40.8 months (95% CI 21.7-59.8)], while R1 resected patients (n = 14; 11%) had no survival benefit [14.0 (95% CI 11.7-16.3) months, hazard ratio (HR) 0.27; P = 0.001]. After ICT most patients showed a CA 19-9 response (median change from baseline: –82%; relative decrease ≥55%: 83%; absolute decrease to ≤50 U/ml: 43%). Robust CA 19-9 response (decrease to ≤50U/ml) was significantly associated with mOS [27.8 (95% CI 18.4-37.2) versus 16.5 (95% CI 11.7-21.2) months, HR 0.49; P = 0.013], whereas CA 19-9 baseline levels were not prognostic for OS. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a robust CA 19-9 response was an independent predictive factor for R0 resection. Using a CA 19-9 decrease to ≤61 U/ml as optimal cut-off (by receiver operating characteristic analysis) yielded 72% sensitivity and 62% specificity for successful R0 resection, whereas CA 19-9 nonresponders (<20% decrease or increase) had no chance for successful R0 resection. Conclusions CA 19-9 response after multiagent ICT provides relevant prognostic and predictive information and is useful in selecting LAPC patients for explorative surgery. Clinical Trial number ClinicalTrials.govNCT02125136; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02125136; EudraCT 2013-004796-12; https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/trial/2013-004796-12/results NEOLAP is the first prospective surgically explored LAPC cohort, evaluable for prognostic and predictive value of CA 19-9. After multiagent ICT, R0 but not R1 resection is associated with a significant survival benefit. Robust CA 19-9 response, but not CA 19-9 baseline level, correlates with significant OS benefit. Robust CA 19-9 response predicts R0 resection and can guide patient selection for explorative surgery.

Abstract
Background Initial systemic therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is usually based on two- or three-drug chemotherapy regimens with fluoropyrimidine (5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine), oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan, combined with either anti-VEGF (bevacizumab) or, for RAS wild-type (WT) tumors, anti-EGFR antibodies (panitumumab or cetuximab). Recommendations for patients who are not eligible for intensive combination therapies are limited and include fluoropyrimidine plus bevacizumab or single agent anti-EGFR antibody treatment. The use of a monochemotherapy concept of trifluridine/ tipiracil in combination with monoclonal antibodies is not approved for first-line therapy, yet. Results from the phase II TASCO trial evaluating trifluridine/ tipiracil plus bevacicumab in first-line treatment of mCRC patients and from the phase I/II APOLLON trial investigating trifluridine/ tipiracil plus panitumumab in pre-treated mCRC patients suggest favourable activity and tolerability of these new therapeutic approaches. Methods FIRE-8 (NCT05007132) is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter phase II study which aims to evaluate the efficacy of first-line treatment with trifluridine/tipiracil (35 mg/m2 body surface area (BSA), orally twice daily on days 1–5 and 8–12, q28 days) plus either the anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab (6 mg/kg body weight, intravenously on day 1 and 15, q28 days) [arm A] or (as control arm) the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab (5 mg/kg body weight, intravenously on day 1 and 15, q28 days) [arm B] in RAS WT mCRC patients. The primary objective is to demonstrate an improved objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 from 30% (control arm) to 55% with panitumumab. With a power of 80% and a two-sided significance level of 0.05, 138 evaluable patients are needed. Given an estimated drop-out rate of 10%, 153 patients will be enrolled. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil plus panitumumab in first-line treatment of RAS WT mCRC patients. The administration of anti-EGFR antibodies rather than anti-VEGF antibodies in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil may result in an increased initial efficacy.

Abstract
BackgroundBone erosion is a clinical feature of rheumatoid arthritis related to disease severity and poor functional prognosis. Excessive osteoclast differentiation and insufficient osteoblast function are the main reasons for the erosive process in RA. Our previous investigation indicated that L-arginine supplementation not only diminished arthritic inflammation in the serum-induced arthritis (K/BxN) model but also decreased inflammatory joints osteoclast numbers (1).ObjectivesIn the present study, we aim to investigate the metabolic action of L-arginine supplementation in RA, especially on periarticular bone erosion and systemic bone loss. We plan to depict the metabolic features of TNFα induced inflammatory osteoclasts after in vitro L-arginine supplementation.MethodsThree murine arthritis models (serum-induced arthritis (K/BxN) model, collagen-induced arthritis model, and hTNFtg mice model) were analysed in this study. L-arginine was supplemented within the drinking water after the onset of arthritis. Bone parameters for axial skeleton (spine) and peripheral skeleton (tibia) from the respective group were quantified by μCT. HE and TRAP staining were performed to address further the erosion area and osteoclast numbers in periarticular sites. In vitro osteoclast differentiation was conducted with or without L-arginine treatment, in the presence or not of TNFα activation. Seahorse and SCENITH analyses were adopted to delineate the metabolic features. JC-1 staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to depict the mitochondria metabolism. RNA-seq and mass spectrometry (MS) were performed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism.ResultsInflammation was diminished in all three arthritis models after L-arginine supplementation with a significant reduction in arthritic score. Moreover, an amelioration of periarticular bone erosion, systemic bone loss, and decreased osteoclast numbers in periarticular sites were observed in arthritic mice after L-arginine treatment. L-arginine also inhibited osteoclastogenesis in vitro, particularly under TNFα activation. Seahorse and SCENITH analyses indicated TNFα promoted glycolysis while blocking mitochondria-driven oxidative phosphorylations (OXPHOS) in pre-osteoclasts. Meanwhile, JC-1 staining and TEM images also showed that TNFα decreased mitochondria membrane potential and prompted damage of mitochondria. Surprisingly, L-arginine rescued the TNFα inhibition of OXPHOS while promoting ATP production.RNA-seq and MS data confirmed the boost of OXPHOS after L-arginine treatment under TNFα activation. To interfere with OXPHOS, L-arginine inhibited cJun thus altered arginase-1 and arginase-2 expression. Moreover, the increased ATP in L-arginine treated cells facilitated purine metabolism, especially the production of inosine and hypoxanthine, contributing to the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. Increasing Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is essential for the production of inosine and hypoxanthine due to the decreased inhibitory regulation of the transcription factor c-Jun.ConclusionThese data strongly demonstrated that L-arginine ameliorates bone erosion in RA through metabolic reprogramming and perturbation of purine metabolism in osteoclasts. L-arginine might therefore benefit RA therapy by reducing joint inflammation and also ameliorating bone destruction.References[1]Hannemann, Nicole, et al. “Transcription factor Fra-1 targets arginase-1 to enhance macrophage-mediated inflammation in arthritis.” The Journal of clinical investigation 129.7 (2019): 2669-2684.Disclosure of InterestsShan Cao: None declared, Rui Song: None declared, Xianyi Meng: None declared, Katerina Kachler: None declared, Maximilian Fuchs: None declared, Xinyu Meng: None declared, Yixuan Li: None declared, Verena Taudte: None declared, Meik Kunz: None declared, Ursula Schloetzer-Schrehardt: None declared, Ulrike Schleicher: None declared, Xiaoxiang Chen Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Roche and Novartis, Georg Schett Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Roche and UCB, Aline Bozec: None declared.

Abstract
Direct correlation functions (DCFs), linked to the second functional derivative of the free energy with respect to the one-particle density, play a fundamental role in a statistical mechanics description of matter. This holds, in particular, for the ordered phases: DCFs contain information about the local structure including defects and encode the thermodynamic properties of crystalline solids; they open a route to the elastic constants beyond low temperature expansions. Via a demanding numerical approach, we have explicitly calculated for the first time the DCF of a solid: based on the fundamental measure concept, we provide results for the DCF of a hard sphere crystal. We demonstrate that this function differs at coexistence significantly from its liquid counterpart-both in shape as well as in its order of magnitude-because it is dominated by vacancies. We provide evidence that the traditional use of liquid DCFs in functional Taylor expansions of the free energy is conceptually wrong and show that the emergent elastic constants are in good agreement with simulation-based results.

Abstract
Data mining and metagenomic analysis of 277 open reading frame sequences of bipartite RNA viruses of the genus Nepovirus, family Secoviridae, were performed, documenting how challenging it can be to unequivocally assign a virus to a particular species, especially those in subgroups A and C, based on some of the currently adopted taxonomic demarcation criteria. This work suggests a possible need for their amendment to accommodate pangenome information. In addition, we revealed a host-dependent structure of arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) populations at a cladistic level and confirmed a phylogeographic structure of grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) populations. We also identified new putative recombination events in members of subgroups A, B and C. The evolutionary specificity of some capsid regions of ArMV and GFLV that were described previously and biologically validated as determinants of nematode transmission was circumscribed in silico. Furthermore, a C-terminal segment of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of members of subgroup A was predicted to be a putative host range determinant based on statistically supported higher π (substitutions per site) values for GFLV and ArMV isolates infecting Vitis spp. compared with non-Vitis-infecting ArMV isolates. This study illustrates how sequence information obtained via high-throughput sequencing can increase our understanding of mechanisms that modulate virus diversity and evolution and create new opportunities for advancing studies on the biology of economically important plant viruses.

Abstract
Background:Excessive activation of fibroblasts with a TGFβ-biased gene signature and deposition of extracellular matrix are key features of fibrotic diseases. The mechanisms underlying these transcriptional changes remain poorly understood. Deregulation, mutations and malfunctions of transcriptional co-regulators, which can interact with multiple transcription factors and enable a broad-spectrum regulation of transcriptional networks, have been implicated as driving factors in a large number of diseases and pathologies.Objectives:In the present study, we aimed to analyze the role of the co-regulator Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 3 (NCOA3) in fibroblast activation and tissue fibrosis, and to evaluate a potential interaction of NCOA3 with fibrosis-relevant transcription factors.Methods:NCOA3 was inhibited genetically by siRNA transfection and pharmacologically by the SRC3 inhibitor-2 (SI-2). We performed bulk RNASeq of human dermal fibroblasts and in silico transcription factor binding site screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The interaction of NCOA3 and TGFβ-SMAD signaling was analyzed by reporter and CoIP assays.Results:The expression of NCOA3 in skin biopsies of SSc patients compared to normal controls demonstrated that SSc fibroblasts express modestly, but significantly reduced levels of NCOA3, which persisted in cultured SSc fibroblasts. Stimulation of normal fibroblasts with chronically high levels of TGFβ as they also occur in fibrotic tissue remodeling strongly decreased NCOA3 expression to a similar extent as in SSc fibroblasts. Furthermore, NCOA3 expression is also deregulated in different murine models of skin fibrosis. To investigate the functional effects of decreased NCOA3 levels, we targeted the expression of NCOA3 in normal fibroblasts. SiRNA-mediated knockdown of NCOA3 ameliorated TGFβ-induced gene expression, collagen release, myofibroblast differentiation and cell proliferation. In contrast, knockdown of NCOA3 had no effects on collagen release, expression of contractile proteins or gene expression in unstimulated fibroblasts, suggesting that NCOA3 is not required for cellular homeostasis. To characterize the molecular mechanisms, we performed RNASeq upon NCOA3 knockdown. We identified 343 significant differentially expressed genes (220 downregulated and 123 upregulated with a Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate FDR < 0.25 and fold change > 1.5) between TGFβ-stimulated fibroblasts with and without NCOA3 knockdown (NCOA3-DEGs) including the fibrosis-relevant genes EDNRB, COL5A3, HES1, IL11 or IL33. Functional analysis of the NCOA3-DEGs showed enrichment of pathway terms such as collagen binding and extracellular matrix organization. In silico screening of the promoters of the NCOA3-DEGs for potential transcription factor binding motifs revealed binding motifs of core transcription factors of fibroblast activation and tissue fibrosis such as SMAD2/3/4, RBPJ, ZEB1, TCF4, REL, and SNAIL2 amongst the downregulated NCOA3-DEGs. Experimental validation of our biostatistical results using SMAD3 as example demonstrated a higher percentage of NCOA3-pSMAD3 double-positive fibroblasts in skin sections of SSc patients compared to healthy controls. In addition, knockdown of NCOA3 reduced TGFβ-induced SMAD-reporter activity. Furthermore, stimulation with TGFβ increased the interaction of NCOA3 with SMAD3 as analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation. Simultaneous knockdown of NCOA3 and SMAD3 showed no additional reductions compared to the single knockdowns, suggesting that NCOA3 controls SMAD3-dependent gene transcription under fibrotic conditions. Finally, inhibition of NCOA3 showed anti-fibrotic effects in different murine models of experimental skin and lung fibrosis.Conclusion:Our findings characterize NCOA3 as regulator of multiple pro-fibrotic transcription programs. Pharmaceutical inhibition of NCOA3 might be a strategy to interfere simultaneously with several core pro-fibrotic mediators in fibrotic diseases such as SSc.Acknowledgements:We thank Lena Summa, Vladyslav Fedorchenko, Wolfgang Espach and Regina Kleinlein for excellent technical assistance.The study was funded by grants DI 1537/7-1, DI 1537/8-1, DI 1537/9-1 and -2, DI 1537/11-1, DI 1537/12-1, DI 1537/13-1, DI 1537/14-1, DI 1537/17-1, DE 2414/2-1, DE 2414/4-1, and RA 2506/3-1 of the German Research Foundation, SFB CRC1181 (project C01) and SFB TR221/ project number 324392634 (B04) of the German Research Foundation, grants J39, J40 and A64 of the IZKF in Erlangen, grant 2013.056.1 of the Wilhelm-Sander-Foundation, grants 2014_A47, 2014_A248 and 2014_A184 of the Else-Kröner-Fresenius-Foundation, grant 14-12-17-1-Bergmann of the ELAN-Foundation Erlangen, BMBF (Era-Net grant 01KT1801), MASCARA program, TP 2 and a Career Support Award of Medicine of the Ernst Jung Foundation.Disclosure of Interests:Clara Dees: None declared, Sebastian Poetter: None declared, Maximilian Fuchs: None declared, Christina Bergmann: None declared, Alexandru-Emil Matei: None declared, Andrea-Hermina Györfi: None declared, Alina Soare: None declared, Andreas Ramming: None declared, Paolo Ceppi: None declared, Georg Schett: None declared, Meik Kunz: None declared, Jörg H.W.

Abstract
Background:Engrailed 1 (EN1) is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor with essential roles in embryonic development. In most cell types, the expression of EN1 is restricted to embryonic development. However, under pathological conditions, EN1 can be re-expressed to promote phenotypical adaptation. En1 is transiently expressed in the developing dermis of murine embryos in a distinct fibroblast lineage and silenced before birth (1). Former EN1-expressing cells give rise to a subpopulation of fibroblasts that has a high capacity for extracellular matrix production in adult murine skin. The role of EN1 in systemic sclerosis (SSc) was previously not explored.Objectives:To study the role of EN1 in the pathological activation of fibroblasts in tissue fibrosis.Methods:Bulk RNA-Seq and EN1 or SP1 ChIP-Seq were performed from cultured human dermal fibroblasts. The expression of EN1 was inhibited by siRNA. Cytoskeletal drugs paclitaxel, vinblastin and ROCK inhibitor (Y27632) were used to modulate the cytoskeleton in EN1 knockdown or overexpressing dermal fibroblasts. The role of EN1 in fibroblast activation was evaluated by functional experiments with EN1 knockdown or overexpression in standard 2D culture systems as well as in 3D skin equivalent models. The role of EN1 in skin fibrosis was further studied in En1fl/fl X Col6Cre mice, with fibroblast-specific knockout of En1 in three complementary mouse models: overexpression of a constitutively active TGFß-receptor I (TBRICA), bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis and TSK1 mice.Results:Pathologically activated dermal fibroblasts from SSc patients express higher levels of EN1 compared with age and sex matched healthy individuals in the skin and in vitro. TGFβ induces EN1 expression in fibroblasts in a SMAD3-dependent manner both in cultured fibroblasts and in murine skin. Knockdown of EN1 prevents TGFβ-induced fibroblast activation, whereas overexpression of EN1 fosters the pro-fibrotic effects of TGFβ with increased expression of αSMA, stress fibers and collagen. RNA sequencing demonstrates that EN1 induces a pro-fibrotic gene expression profile functionally related to cytoskeleton organization and ROCK activation. In silico analyses of the promoters of En1 target genes coupled with siRNA-mediated knockdown demonstrated that EN1 regulates these pro-fibrotic target genes by modulating the activity of regulatory modules that contain transcription factors of the specificity protein (SP) family. Functional experiments with selective modulators of ROCK and of microtubule polymerization confirm the coordinating role of EN1 on ROCK activity and the re-organization of cytoskeleton during myofibroblast differentiation in both conventional culture systems and 3D skin equivalents. Consistently, mice with fibroblast-specific knockout of En1 demonstrate impaired fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition, reduced dermal thickening and impaired collagen deposition in the TBRICA, bleomycin-induced and TSK1 models.Conclusion:We characterize the homeodomain transcription factor EN1 as a molecular amplifier of TGFβ signaling in myofibroblast differentiation that coordinates cytoskeletal organization in a SP-dependent manner. EN1 might thus be a novel candidate for molecular targeted therapies to interfere with myofibroblast differentiation in fibrotic diseases.References:[1]Rinkevich Y, Walmsley GG, Hu MS, Maan ZN, Newman AM, Drukker M, et al.

Abstract
Pathogen-tested foundation plant stocks are the cornerstone of sustainable specialty crop production. They provide the propagative units that are used to produce clean planting materials, which are essential as the first-line management option of diseases caused by graft-transmissible pathogens such as viruses, viroids, bacteria, and phytoplasmas. In the United States, efforts to produce, maintain, and distribute pathogen-tested propagative material of specialty crops are spearheaded by centers of the National Clean Plant Network (NCPN). Agricultural economists collaborated with plant pathologists, extension educators, specialty crop growers, and regulators to investigate the impacts of select diseases caused by graft-transmissible pathogens and to estimate the return on investments in NCPN centers. Economic studies have proven valuable to the NCPN in (i) incentivizing the use of clean planting material derived from pathogen-tested foundation plant stocks; (ii) documenting benefits of clean plant centers, which can outweigh operating costs by 10:1 to 150:1; (iii) aiding the development of disease management solutions that are not only ecologically driven but also profit maximizing; and (iv) disseminating integrated disease management recommendations that resonate with growers. Together, economic studies have reinforced efforts to safeguard specialty crops in the United States through the production and use of clean planting material.

Abstract
Approximately 30% of all affected patients suffering from gastroparesis do not respond to any available treatment modality. Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomiy (G-POEM, antropyloromyotomy) represents a new principle of therapy. In this single center study, G-POEM showed a high technical success rate with a very low procedural complication rate. However, the clinical response beyond a short-term post-interventional improvement did not succeed in a single patient. The heterogeneity of the clinical picture, which represents a spectrum of different pathophysiological, etiological and clinical characteristics, still requires a therapy tailored to the individual patient. G-POEM should be considered especially in patients with pylorus-dominant gastroparesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is excellent rendering research into treatment complications highly important. An important complication of cancer and its treatment is thrombosis. Thrombotic events are regularly observed in HL patients but precise information on incidence and risk factors is lacking and the value of prophylactic anticoagulation unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thus, we comprehensively studied thrombotic events in 5773 patients from the German Hodgkin Study Group (GHSG) HD13-15 trials in early-favorable, intermediate and advanced HL. We estimated the incidence of and identified risk factors for thrombotic events. Additionally, we provide detailed data on the time course and characteristics of thrombotic events. RESULTS A total of 193 thrombotic events occurred for an incidence of 3.3%. Out of these, 175 (90.7%) were venous thromboses, 3 (1.5%) newly emerging post-thrombotic syndromes and 15 (7.8%) arterial thromboses. There were 11 (0.7%) events in early-favorable, 27 (1.3%) in early-unfavorable and 155 (7.3%) in advanced patients, the latter incidence being significantly higher (P < 0.001). The most common locations were deep vein thrombosis of the arm (46.3%) and leg (24.6%). Most venous thrombotic events occurred during chemotherapy (78.9%). We observed 59 (30.6%) catheter-associated events and a descriptively increased risk of venous thrombotic events in patients with oral contraception use during treatment (6.8% versus 3.9%). In advanced HL, the incidence of venous thrombotic events was increased upon treatment with BEACOPP-14 (9.4%, P = 0.0079) compared with 5.1% with 6×BEACOPPesc and 5.7% with 8×BEACOPPesc. Among commonly applied risk factors, including the Khorana score, only age and smoking were prognostic. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of thrombotic events in advanced stage HL is comparable to other high-risk cancer patients, especially if treated with dose-dense regimens. Additional risk factors are higher age and smoking. Selected HL patients could benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation, however, further interventional studies are needed before general recommendations can be made.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic performance of different reconstruction algorithms of single-source dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for the detection of bone marrow lesions (BML) in patients with vertebral compression fracture using MRI as the standard of reference. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventeen patients with an age over 50 who underwent single-source DECT of the spine were included. The raw data (RD) were reconstructed using filtered back-projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) with three iteration levels (IR1-IR3). Bone marrow images were generated using a three-material decomposition (3MD) and a two-material decomposition (2MD) algorithm and an RD-based approach. Three blinded readers scored the images for image quality and the presence of bone marrow lesions (BML). Only vertebrae with height loss were included. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated. The different reconstructions were compared using Dunn's multiple comparison test. RESULTS Thirty-nine vertebrae were included. IR(1-3) showed superior sensitivity (87.5%) compared to FBP (75%) using 3MD but was comparable to RD (83.3%). All 2MD images were inferior (sensitivity < 38%). The image quality score was significantly higher for 3MD-IR(1-3) compared to 3MD-FBP (p < 0.0001) and all 2MD data sets (p < 0.03). This pattern was also supported by the SNR and CNR measurements. RD showed no significant improvement compared to IR. CONCLUSION The image quality of bone marrow images acquired with DECT can be improved by using IR compared with FBP. RD-based reconstruction does not offer significant improvement over image data-based reconstruction. 2MD algorithms are not suitable for BML detection.

Abstract
The analysis of the dynamics of tracer particles in a complex bath can provide valuable information about the microscopic behavior of the bath. In this work, we study the dynamics of a forced tracer in a colloidal bath by means of Langevin dynamics simulations and a theory model within continuum mechanics. In the simulations, the bath is comprised of quasihard spheres with a volume fraction of 50% immersed in a featureless quiescent solvent, and the tracer is pulled with a constant small force (within the linear regime). The theoretical analysis is based on the Navier-Stokes equation, where a term proportional to the velocity arises from coarse-graining the friction of the colloidal particles with the solvent. As a result, the final equation is similar to the Brinkman model, although the interpretation is different. A length scale appears in the model, k_{0}^{-1}, where the transverse momentum transport crosses over to friction with the solvent. The effective friction coefficient experienced by the tracer grows with the tracer size faster than the prediction from Stokes's law. Additionally, the velocity profiles in the bath decay faster than in a Newtonian fluid. The comparison between simulations and theory points to a boundary condition of effective partial slip at the tracer surface. We also study the fluctuations in the tracer position, showing that it reaches diffusion at long times, with a subdiffusive regime at intermediate times. The diffusion coefficient, obtained from the long-time slope of the mean-squared displacement, fulfills the Stokes-Einstein relation with the friction coefficient calculated from the steady tracer velocity, confirming the validity of the linear response formalism.

Abstract
Soft solids like colloidal glasses exhibit a yield stress, above which the system starts to flow. The microscopic analogon in microrheology is the untrapping or depinning of a tracer particle subject to an external force exceeding a threshold value in a glassy host. We characterize this delocalization transition based on a bifurcation analysis of the corresponding mode-coupling theory equations. A schematic model that allows analytical progress is presented first, and the full physical model is studied numerically next. This analysis yields a continuous dynamic transition with a critical power-law decay of the probe correlation functions with exponent -1/2. To compare with simulations with a limited duration, a finite-time analysis is performed, which yields reasonable results for not-too-small wave vectors. The theoretically predicted findings are verified by Langevin dynamics simulations. For small wave vectors we find anomalous behavior for the probe position correlation function, which can be traced back to a wave-vector divergence of the critical amplitude. In addition, we propose and test three methods to extract the critical force from experimental data, which provide the same value of the critical force when applied to the finite-time theory or simulations.

Abstract
Background Bone marrow (BM) involvement defines advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma and thus has impact on the assignment to treatment. Our aim was to evaluate whether the established BM biopsy may be omitted in patients if 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) scanning is carried out during staging. Patients and methods Our analysis set consisted of 832 Hodgkin lymphoma patients from the German Hodgkin Study Group trials HD16, HD17, and HD18 who underwent both PET scanning and BM biopsy before treatment. All PET studies were centrally reviewed and BM was categorized as showing focal involvement or not. Results Taking BM biopsy as reference standard, baseline PET showed a negative predictive value of 99.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) 99.2% to 100%] with true-negative results in 702 of 703 cases. The sensitivity of PET for detecting BM involvement was 95.0% (95% CI 75.1% to 99.9%) as it could identify 19 out of 20 patients with positive BM biopsy. Moreover, PET found 110 additional subjects with focal BM lesions who would have been considered negative by biopsy. Conclusions When compared with BM biopsy, PET was able to detect focal BM lesions in a large number of additional patients. This indicates that conventional BM biopsy may substantially underestimate the actual incidence of BM involvement. Given the high negative predictive value, baseline PET scanning can safely be used to exclude BM involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma. BM biopsy should be considered only in such patients in whom PET-detected lesions lead to a change of treatment protocol. Registered trials The trials included in this analysis were registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: HD16-NCT00736320, HD17-NCT01356680, and HD18-NCT00515554.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies suggest a link between voice disorders and personality traits. However, nearly nothing is known about the relationship between personality and voice parameters in healthy children. The present study investigated associations between children's personality and the intensity and frequency of their speaking voice. STUDY DESIGN This is a cross-sectional analysis. METHODS The study participants included 871 German children aged from 7 to 14 who had not yet experienced voice change in puberty. Within the framework of the LIFE Child study, all participants were asked to perform a speaking-voice task at four different intensity levels (quietest, conversational, presentation, and shouting voice). Associations of fundamental frequency and voice intensity with children's personality and behavioral strengths and difficulties (assessed using parent-reported questionnaires) were estimated using multiple linear regression analyses. RESULTS With respect to children's personality, the analyses revealed significant positive associations between speaking-voice intensity and extraversion (eg, for the conversational voice, β = 0.16, P < 0.001) as well as significant negative associations between voice intensity and emotional stability (eg, for the shouting voice, β = -0.15, P = 0.004) and conscientiousness (for the shouting voice, β = -0.10, P = 0.033). Regarding behavioral strengths and difficulties, we observed significant positive associations between voice intensity and peer-relationship problems (eg, for the conversational voice, β = 0.14, P = 0.001) and prosocial behavior (for the conversational voice, β = 0.11, P = 0.015). In contrast, no significant association was found between speaking fundamental frequency and personality or behavioral difficulties/strengths. CONCLUSIONS In children, associations exist between a child's speaking-voice intensity and his or her personality, especially extraversion and emotional stability, and behavioral characteristics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) treatment, erlotinib is known to be more effective in patients developing skin rash. Treatment with the FOLFIRINOX regimen is only performed in fit patients following defined inclusion criteria. The present study investigates the efficacy of gemcitabine plus erlotinib (gem/erlotinib) in rash-positive patients fit for FOLFIRINOX. PATIENTS AND METHODS For this prospective phase II study, 150 patients were recruited in 20 centres. All patients received gem/erlotinib for 4 weeks (run-in phase); the subsequent treatment was determined by the development of skin rash: patients with rash grades 1-4 continued with gem/erlotinib, rash-negative patients were switched to FOLFIRINOX. Primary study end-point was to achieve a 1-year survival rate in rash-positive patients ≥40%. RESULTS Ninety patients were deemed positive for skin rash by the end of the run-in phase, showing a 1-year survival rate of 40.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 29.8-50.9). Median overall survival (OS) was 10.1 months, progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.8 months and overall response rate (ORR) was 23.3%. Patients switched to FOLFIRINOX (n = 27) had a 1-year survival rate of 48.1% (95% CI 28.7-68.1), a median OS of 10.9 months, a median PFS of 6.6 months and an ORR of 33.3%. Rash-negative patients had a lower quality of life at baseline but seemed to experience an improved control of pain during FOLFIRINOX. CONCLUSIONS First-line treatment with gem/erlotinib was effective in fit, rash-positive mPDAC patients achieving a 1-year survival rate comparable to previous reports for FOLFIRINOX. The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT0172948) and Eudra-CT (2011-005471-17).

Abstract
The amino acid patterns of medium perfusate in a liver cell bioreactor developed for a hybrid liver support system have been measured. There were considerable changes in the concentrations of glutamic acid, glutamine, alanine, arginine, ornithine and branched chain amino acids during the first 10 days which is indicative of dynamic cellular metabolism. From day 15, steady state conditions of nitrogen metabolism are reflected by stable amino acid turnover. Monitoring of urea, K+, and P-450 activity suggests that hepatocytes have switched to a stable protein synthesis with a general amino acid uptake and keto acid release following cell volume increase

Isolated pig liver cells cultured using a perfusion technique were analyzed over 39 days to test their ability to change the perfusate α-keto acid profile. While the pyruvate concentration in the culture medium decreased as of the first day, the α-ketoglutarate (KG), α-ketoisocaproate (KIC), α-ketoisovalerate (KIV) and α-ketoβ-methyl-n-valerate (KMV) were synthesized immediately and released by the liver cells. The metabolic capacity of the cell culture system increased up to day 10, decreased during the following 5 days and reached a steady state beyond day 15, which was maintained for at least 30 days. The branched chain α-keto acid release, in particular α-ketoisocaproate, reflects an effective transamination capacity of the newly developed culture system and shows an intact protein biosynthesis for at least 30 days in vitro.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate efficacy, safety and quality of life in ocular hypertensive or open-angle glaucoma patients changed to latanoprost from previous therapy. Methods A prospective, multicenter, active-controlled design in which qualified patients had their previous therapy substituted for latanoprost and were followed for at least thee months. Results In 1068 patients, latanoprost was continued 92% throughout the 36-month observation period. Latanoprost treatment reduced the intraocular pressure (IOP)(p < 0.001) when compared to previous monotherapies including: beta-blockers (-4.0 ± 3.7 mmHg, 42%), alpha-antagonists (-3.9 ± 3.0 mmHg, 14%), miotics (-3.8 ± 3.5 mmHg, 2%), or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI) (-3.8 ± 3.6 mmHg, n = 16%), and adjunctive therapy including: beta-blocker and CAI (-3.7 ± 3.1 mmHg, n = 12%), alpha-agonist (-3.7 ± 3.4 mmHg, n = 5%), or pilocarpine (-3.4 ± 3.7 mmHg, n = 6%), or CAI and alpha-agonist (-4.6 ± 6.4 mm Hg, n = 2%)(p < 0.0017). The most common adverse event with latanoprost was ocular allergy (1.5% incidence). Patients showed a preference for latanoprost for many systemic and ocular quality of life measures on a non-validated questionnaire (p < 0.05). Conclusions In a clinical setting, patients who have their mono- and adjunctive therapy treatment substituted for latanoprost may on average experience reduced IOP, deceased side effects and increased quality of life measures.

Abstract
The static, dynamic and flow-dependent shear moduli of a binary mixture of Brownian hard disks are studied by an event-driven molecular dynamics simulation. Thereby, the emergence of rigidity close to the glass transition encoded in the static shear modulus [Formula: see text] is accessed by three methods. Results from shear stress auto-correlation functions, elastic dispersion relations, and the elastic response to strain deformations upon the start-up of shear flow are compared. This enables one to sample the time-dependent shear modulus [Formula: see text] consistently over several decades in time. By that a very precise specification of the glass transition point and of [Formula: see text] is feasible. Predictions by mode coupling theory of a finite shear modulus at the glass transition, of α-scaling in fluid states close to the transition, and of shear induced decay in yielding glass states are tested and broadly verified.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY There is limited evidence on survival and complication rates in patients after total knee arthroplasty for posttraumatic osteoarthritis. The failure mechanisms leading to revision remain an issue of constant debate. The purpose of this study was to analyze the mid-term survival of primary total knee arthroplasties as well as to evaluate complications and failure mechanisms in patients with posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 79 patients with an average age of 59 years at the time of primary total knee arthroplasty. A functional and radiographic assessment was obtained during outpatient clinical follow-up at 3 and 12 months postoperatively and yearly intervals after that. Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analyses. The mean postoperative follow-up was 69 months. RESULTS At 69 month the revision-free survival rate was 88.6%. In nine cases (11.4%) a revision procedure was performed. The leading cause of revision was a periprosthetic infection (n = 6, 66.6%). An age of fewer than 55 years at the time of total knee arthroplasty had a significant influence on implant survival (p = 0.018) with superior survival in favor of the older patient population. At most recent follow-up, a mean Knee Society Score of 82 points and an average Function Score of 77 points were observed. CONCLUSIONS Periprosthetic joint infection is the primary failure mechanism leading to a revision in patients with total knee arthroplasty for posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Apart from the increased infection rate, total knee arthroplasties in patients with posttraumatic osteoarthritis revealed results that were comparable to patients with primary osteoarthritis. Key words:posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis, total knee replacement, survival, complications, revision, outcome.
