Abstract
BACKGROUND Although low (but increasing) rates of lung/lung-heart transplantations of scleroderma (systemic sclerosis [SSc]) patients have been reported, exclusive heart transplantation is a rare approach for treatment of heart failure due to SSc. CASES We report on 2 cases of SSc patients receiving a heart transplantation (HTx) due to severe and progressive right heart failure without pulmonary artery hypertension. One patient received a hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive donor heart and recovered excellently from viral transmission after administration of a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimen. This is the first published case of an SSc patient who underwent HTx using an HCV-positive donor heart. The clinical course of both patients was monitored by different serum SSc biomarkers. Only xylosyltransferase activity proved to be a promising biomarker for disease stage determination and therapeutic monitoring, precisely reflecting fibrotic remodeling and successful organ recovery. CONCLUSIONS Successful implementation of the 2 cases described here demonstrates that HTx is a safe and effective therapeutic option for defined SSc sub-patient groups despite the progressive character of the underlying disease. In the future, xylosyltransferase activity might be conducive to simplify the identification of patients with low systemic involvement but a strong indication for single heart transplantation. Finally, we demonstrate that treatment of HCV viral transmission from HCV-positive donor to organ recipient using DAA gives us new opportunities to consider HCV-positive donor organs for HTx and might reveal new possibilities to ease the lack of donor organs.

Abstract
There is a pressing need for the development of advanced heart failure therapeutics. Current state-of-the-art is protection from neurohumoral overstimulation, which fails to address the underlying cause of heart failure, namely loss of cardiomyocytes. Implantation of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes via tissue-engineered myocardium is being advanced to realize the remuscularization of the failing heart. Here, we discuss pharmacological challenges pertaining to the clinical translation of tissue-engineered heart repair with a focus on engineered heart muscle (EHM).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and the metabolic syndrome are dramatically increasing problems. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), the variability in size of circulating red blood cells, has been demonstrated to be altered in different clinical settings. This analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between RDW and obesity in adolescents and in an animal model of diet-induced obesity (DIO). METHODS Seventy-nine male adolescents (aged 13-17 years) were studied. Thirty-seven of them were overweight (body mass index ≥ 90th percentile). RDW, markers of inflammation and stem cell factor (SCF) were determined. In an animal study, mice were fed with different diets for 15 weeks. RDW was determined using an animal blood count machine. RESULTS RDW differed significantly between normal-weight adolescents (13.07 ± 0.09) and overweight adolescents (13.39 ± 0.10, P = 0.015), whereas erythrocyte counts and haematocrit did not differ. RDW correlated to markers of inflammation and inversely to SCF. In the mice animal model, nutritional changes increased RDW, whereas overweight per se did not change RDW. CONCLUSIONS RDW is elevated in overweight and reflects the inflammatory state. RDW potentially represents an additional and cost-effective tool to indicate inflammation. Future studies are needed to understand the differential influences of nutrition and overweight on RDW.
