Complexities of modelling the bone marrow microenvironment to facilitate haematopoietic research. Exp Hematol 2024:104233. [PMID: 38740324 DOI: 10.1016/j.exphem.2024.104233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Haematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow (BM), within a specialised microenvironment referred to as the stem cell niche, where the haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside and are regulated for quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation through intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. The BM contains at least two distinctive HSC supportive niches: an endosteal osteoblastic niche, which supports quiescence and self-renewal and a more vascular/peri-sinusoidal niche that promotes proliferation and differentiation. Both associate with supporting mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Within the more hypoxic osteoblastic niche, HSCs specifically interact with the osteoblasts that line the endosteal surface, which secrete several important HSC quiescence and maintenance regulatory factors. In vivo imaging indicates that the HSCs and progenitors located further away, in the vicinity of sinusoidal endothelial cells, are more proliferative. Here HSCs interact with endothelial cells via specific cell adhesion molecules. Endothelial cells also secrete several factors important for HSC homeostasis and proliferation. In addition, HSCs and MSCs are embedded within the extracellular matrix (ECM), an important network of proteins such as collagen, elastin, laminin, proteoglycans, vitronectin and fibronectin. The ECM provides mechanical characteristics such as stiffness and elasticity important for cell behaviour regulation. ECM proteins are also able to bind, sequester, display and distribute growth factors across the BM, thus directly affecting stem cell fate and regulation of haematopoiesis. These important physical and chemical features of the BM require careful consideration when creating three dimensional models of the BM.

Eligibility of a novel BW + technology and comparison of sensitivity and specificity of different imaging methods for radiological caries detection. Oral Radiol 2024:10.1007/s11282-024-00748-4. [PMID: 38683260 DOI: 10.1007/s11282-024-00748-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bitewing radiography is considered to be of high diagnostic value in caries detection, but owing to projections, lesions may remain undetected. The novel bitewing plus (BW +) technology enables scrolling through radiographs in different directions and angles. The present study aimed at comparing BW + with other 2D and 3D imaging methods in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and user reliability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five human cadavers were used in this study. In three cadavers, natural teeth were transplanted post-mortem. BW + , two-dimensional (digital sensors, imaging plates, 2D and 3D bitewing radiographs) and 3D methods (high and low dose CBCT) were taken. Carious lesions were evaluated on 96 teeth at three positions (mesial, distal, and occlusal) and scored according to their level of demineralization by ten observers, resulting in 35,799 possible lesions across all observers and settings. For reference, µCT scans of all teeth were performed. RESULTS Overall, radiographic evaluations showed a high rate of false-negative diagnoses, with around 70% of lesions remaining undetected, especially enamel lesions. BW + showed the highest sensitivity for dentinal caries and had comparatively high specificity overall. CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of the study, BW + showed great potential for added diagnostic value, especially for dentinal caries. However, the tradeoff of diagnostic benefit and radiation exposure must be considered according to each patient's age and risk.

Is there any sustained effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic? - A controlled trial comparing pre- and post-pandemic oral radiology courses. J Dent Educ 2024; 88:356-365. [PMID: 37997280 DOI: 10.1002/jdd.13417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, undergraduate education shifted towards online-only formats from April 2020 until July 2021. Previous research indicated a negative effect on students' competence development, and it remains unclear whether blended learning concepts could provide compensation. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare pre- to post-pandemic students' performance in standardized baseline (BL) and final exams (FE), as well as the associated knowledge gain (KG) in three consecutive undergraduate blended learning-based oral radiology courses (C1-3). METHODS Ninety-four students participated during two pre-pandemic semesters (October 17-July 18), and ninety-eight students during two post-pandemic semesters (October 21-July 22). Before the pandemic, conventional face-to-face lectures were combined with an oral radiology platform. Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, additional video-based e-learning modules were adopted from the pandemic online-only curriculum. In each semester, skills and KG were assessed by conducting standardized BL and FE. Students' performance in BL, FE, and the associated KG during pre-pandemic semesters was compared to post-pandemic semesters. RESULTS In post-pandemic courses, students showed significantly lower BL scores, whereas KG was significantly higher in post- compared to pre-pandemic semesters (27.42% vs. 10.64%, p < 0.001, respectively). FE scores in C1 significantly improved from pre- to post-pandemic semesters. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of our study, the lower BL scores confirmed the negative effect of the pandemic on competence development. Blended learning concepts seem to compensate for this effect and enable students to return to pre-pandemic levels. Future studies are needed to assess the additional impact of video-based e-learning modules.

Is online-only learning as effective as blended learning? A longitudinal study comparing undergraduate students' performance in oral radiology. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF DENTAL EDUCATION : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR DENTAL EDUCATION IN EUROPE 2024; 28:236-250. [PMID: 37579026 DOI: 10.1111/eje.12941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Blended learning seems to be an effective teaching concept in oral radiology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, blended learning shifted towards online-only learning. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of pandemic online-only and pre-pandemic blended learning in three consecutive oral radiology courses (C1, C2 and C3) and to examine whether additional video-based e-learning modules (VBLMs) had a positive impact on undergraduate students' performance during pandemic semesters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 205 undergraduate dental students participating either in a blended learning or an online-only learning concept were analysed. Pre-pandemic blended learning comprised face-to-face seminars and access to an oral radiology platform (ORP). Pandemic online-only learning comprised online seminars, access to the ORP and additional VBLMs (two VBLMs for C1, four VBLMs for C2 and six VBLMs for C3). Through standardised e-exams at the beginning and end of each semester, performance in final exams and knowledge gain were compared between the two groups. RESULTS No significant differences in scores in final exams (p = .11) and knowledge gain (p = .18) were found when comparing the pre-pandemic and pandemic groups. On course level, however, students receiving a lower number of VBLMs performed significantly worse in final exams (C1: p < .01, C2: p = .02) and showed inferior knowledge gain (C2: p < .01) during the pandemic. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of the study, the present investigation confirmed that pandemic online-only learning involving VBLMs might be as effective as pre-pandemic blended learning.

Overcoming BCR::ABL1 dependent and independent survival mechanisms in chronic myeloid leukaemia using a multi-kinase targeting approach. Cell Commun Signal 2023; 21:342. [PMID: 38031192 PMCID: PMC10685629 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-023-01363-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improved patient outcome using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients require life-long treatment due to leukaemic stem cell (LSC) persistence. LSCs reside in the bone marrow (BM) niche, which they modify to their advantage. The BM provides oncogene-independent signals to aid LSC cell survival and quiescence. The bone-morphogenetic pathway (BMP) is one pathway identified to be highly deregulated in CML, with high levels of BMP ligands detected in the BM, accompanied by CML stem and progenitor cells overexpressing BMP type 1 receptors- activin-like kinases (ALKs), especially in TKI resistant patients. Saracatinib (SC), a SRC/ABL1 dual inhibitor, inhibits the growth of CML cells resistant to the TKI imatinib (IM). Recent studies indicate that SC is also a potent ALK inhibitor and BMP antagonist. Here we investigate the efficacy of SC in overcoming CML BCR::ABL1 dependent and independent signals mediated by the BM niche both in 2D and 3D culture. METHODS CML cells (K562 cell line and CML CD34+ primary cells) were treated with single or combination treatments of: IM, SC and the BMP receptors inhibitor dorsomorphin (DOR), with or without BMP4 stimulation in 2D (suspension) and 3D co-culture on HS5 stroma cell line and mesenchymal stem cells in AggreWell and microfluidic devices. Flow cytometry was performed to investigate apoptosis, cell cycle progression and proliferation, alongside colony assays following treatment. Proteins changes were validated by immunoblotting and transcriptional changes by Fluidigm multiplex qPCR. RESULTS By targeting the BMP pathway, using specific inhibitors against ALKs in combination with SRC and ABL TKIs, we show an increase in apoptosis, altered cell cycle regulation, fewer cell divisions, and reduced numbers of CD34+ cells. Impairment of long-term proliferation and differentiation potential after combinatorial treatment also occurred. CONCLUSION BMP signalling pathway is important for CML cell survival. Targeting SRC, ABL and ALK kinases is more effective than ABL inhibition alone, the combination efficacy importantly being demonstrated in both 2D and 3D cell cultures highlighting the need for combinatorial therapies in contrast to standard of care single agents. Our study provides justification to target multiple kinases in CML to combat LSC persistence.

BH3 mimetics in combination with nilotinib or ponatinib represent a promising therapeutic strategy in blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:457. [PMID: 36379918 PMCID: PMC9666353 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-01211-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Dysregulation of the BCL-2 family is implicated in protecting chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells from intracellular damage and BCR::ABL1-inhibition with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and may be a viable therapeutic target in blast phase (BP-)CML, for which treatment options are limited. BH3 mimetics, a class of small molecule inhibitors with high-specificity against the prosurvival members of the BCL-2 family, have displayed clinical promise in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic and acute myeloid leukemia as single agents and in combination with standard-of-care therapies. Here we present the first comparison of inhibition of BCL-2 prosurvival proteins BCL-2, BCL-xL and MCL-1 in combination with a second or third generation TKI, crucially with comparisons drawn between myeloid and lymphoid BP-CML samples. Co-treatment of four BP-CML cell lines with the TKIs nilotinib or ponatinib and either BCL-2 (venetoclax), MCL-1 (S63845) or BCL-xL (A-1331852) inhibitors resulted in a synergistic reduction in cell viability and increase in phosphatidylserine (PS) presentation. Nilotinib with BH3 mimetic combinations in myeloid BP-CML patient samples triggered increased induction of apoptosis over nilotinib alone, and a reduction in colony-forming capacity and CD34+ fraction, while this was not the case for lymphoid BP-CML samples tested. While some heterogeneity in apoptotic response was observed between cell lines and BP-CML patient samples, the combination of BCL-xL and BCR::ABL1 inhibition was consistently effective in inducing substantial apoptosis. Further, while BH3 mimetics showed little efficacy as single agents, dual-inhibition of BCL-2 prosurvival proteins dramatically induced apoptosis in all cell lines tested and in myeloid BP-CML patient samples compared to healthy donor samples. Gene expression and protein level analysis suggests a protective upregulation of alternative BCL-2 prosurvival proteins in response to BH3 mimetic single-treatment in BP-CML. Our results suggest that BH3 mimetics represent an interesting avenue for further exploration in myeloid BP-CML, for which alternative treatment options are desperately sought.

Standardized assessment of bone micromorphometry around teeth following orthodontic tooth movement : A µCT split-mouth study in mice. J Orofac Orthop 2021; 83:403-411. [PMID: 34342661 PMCID: PMC9596514 DOI: 10.1007/s00056-021-00336-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Volumetric quantitative analyses of bone micromorphometry changes following orthodontic tooth movements are hardly standardizable. The present study aimed at validating and applying a novel microcomputed tomography (CT)-based approach that enables the segmentation of teeth and definition of a standardized volume of interest (VOI) around the roots to assess local bone micromorphometry. Methods The jaws of 3 untreated and 14 orthodontically treated mice (protraction of the upper right molar for 11 days with 0.5 N; untreated left upper molar) were scanned with a micro-CT. The first molars and the alveolar bone were segmented, and a standardized VOI was defined around the teeth. The bone volume per total volume (BV/TV) was assessed within the VOI, and BV/TV values were compared between contralateral sites in both untreated (method validation) and treated animals (method application). Results The intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.99 revealed high reliability of the method. In the untreated animals, Bland–Altman analysis confirmed comparable BV/TV fractions (mean difference: −1.93, critical difference: 1.91, Wilcoxon: p = 0.03). In the orthodontically treated animals, BV/TV values were significantly lower at the test compared to the control site (test: 33.23% ± 5.74%, control: 41.33% ± 4.91%, Wilcoxon: p < 0.001). Conclusion Within the limits of the study, the novel approach demonstrated the applicability to evaluate bone micromorphometry around teeth subjected to orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Separation and sorting of biological entities (viruses, bacteria, and cells) is a critical step in any microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device. Acoustofluidics platforms have demonstrated their ability to use physical characteristics of cells to perform label-free separation. Bandpass-type sorting methods of medium-sized entities from a mixture have been presented using acoustic techniques; however, they require multiple transducers, lack support for various target populations, can be sensitive to flow variations, or have not been verified for continuous flow sorting of biological cells. To our knowledge, this paper presents the first acoustic bandpass method that overcomes all these limitations and presents an inherently reconfigurable technique with a single transducer pair for stable continuous flow sorting of blood cells. The sorting method is first demonstrated for polystyrene particles of sizes 6, 10, and 14.5 μm in diameter with measured purity and efficiency coefficients above 75 ± 6% and 85 ± 9%, respectively. The sorting strategy was further validated in the separation of red blood cells from white blood cells and 1 μm polystyrene particles with 78 ± 8% efficiency and 74 ± 6% purity, respectively, at a flow rate of at least 1 μl/min, enabling to process finger prick blood samples within minutes.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Controversy exists with regards to the optimal regimen for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) of TNBC. Platinum-based regimens seem to be more active in TNBC improving pCR rates significantly. But adding platinum to an anthracycline/taxane chemotherapy regime comes at the expense of greater toxicity. Its impact on survival and long-term-outcomes remains undetermined. Practical guidelines vary across leading international professional societies. In this real-world multicenter study neoadjuvant regimens, pCR rates and survival were evaluated.
Material and methods
This study was conducted from 2012-2017 in six certified breast cancer centers in the region of Hanover, Germany, including rural and urban populations by using a personal questionnaire and data from the medical records. All patients with primary TNBC (ER<1%, PR<1%, Her2/neu 0, 1+ or 2+ FISH/CISH negative) and no evidence of distant disease were eligible.
Results
143/217 patients (66%) received NAC and 74/217patients (34%) adjuvant chemotherapy. 63/143 (44%) patients achieved pCR. 23/63 (35%) received platinum-based NAC and 40/63 (65%) received chemotherapy without platinum. In 80 patients pCR was not achieved. 12/80 patients received platinum and 68/80 non platinum-based NAC. pCR was significantly higher among patients with platinum-based chemotherapy (chi-square, p < 0.003). 20/23 patients who achieved pCR received NAC containing anthracycline/taxane/carboplatin, 3/23 patients received a taxane/carboplatin-based regime. Treatment discontinuation was seen in 12/35 (34%) patients receiving platinum-based NAC vs 15/108 (14%) in non-platinum-based NAC. Mean follow up was 17 months (1-70months). A significant difference in OS (p=0.007) and DFS (p=0.001) was seen for patients with a pCR.
Conclusion
Our trial confirms that platinum based NAC achieves significantly higher rates of pCR in patients with TNBC. pCR was associated with significantly longer DFS and OS. The CALBG protocol (CALBG 40603) was the preferred choice of treatment regimen followed by the GeparSixto protocol. In our study the pCR rate was comparable to that of both trials in which pCR rates of 60% (CALBG 40603) and 53% (GeparSixto) were achieved. However, in our trial 34% of the patients discontinued treatment due to toxicity. Therefore these protocols should be used in carefully selected patients. In a real world setting less toxic chemotherapy regimens achieved a pCR rate of 37%. In terms of toxicity and adherence to chemotherapy, these regimens are reasonable alternative options. In daily care close monitoring of treatment response is essential during NAC. In patients who have a rapid clinical response to platinum-free NAC the benefit of adding platinum is questionable. In contrast, the addition of platinum seems to be appropriate in those patients who show only limited response under NAC.

Abstract
Background/aim Retraction of the upper incisors/canines requires maximum anchorage. The aim of the present study was to analyze the efficacy of mini implants in comparison to conventional devices in patients with need for en masse retraction of the front teeth in the upper jaw. Material and methods An electronic search of PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE and hand searching were performed. Relevant articles were assessed, and data were extracted for statistical analysis. A random effects model, weighted mean differences (WMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed for horizontal and vertical anchorage loss at the first molars in the analyzed patient treatments. Results A total of seven RCTs employing direct anchorage through implants in the alveolar ridge were finally considered for qualitative and quantitative analysis, and further five publications were considered for the qualitative analysis only (three studies: indirect anchorage through implant in the mid-palate, two studies: direct/indirect anchorage in the alveolar ridge). In the control groups, anchorage was achieved through transpalatal arches, headgear, Nance buttons, intrusion arches, and differential moments. WMD [95% CI, p] in anchorage loss between test and control groups amounted to − 2.79 mm [− 3.56 to − 2.03 mm, p < 0.001] in the horizontal and − 1.76 mm [− 2.56 to − 0.97, p < 0.001] favoring skeletal anchorage over control measures. The qualitative analysis revealed that minor anchorage loss can be associated with indirect anchorage, whereas anchorage gain was commonly associated with direct anchorage. Implant failures were comparable for both anchorage modalities (direct 9.9%, indirect 8.6%). Conclusion Within its limitations, the meta-analysis revealed that maximum anchorage en masse retraction can be achieved by orthodontic mini implants and direct anchorage; however, the ideal implant location (palate versus alveolar ridge) and the beneficial effect of direct over indirect anchorage needs to be further evaluated.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Although the health of immigrants is an important issue in national health care policy there is a serious shortage of data in many countries. Most studies lack information on educational status which is a major limitation. In this prospective cross-sectional-study we analyzed the influence of immigration background and educational status on the participation in mammography screening programs in Lower-Saxony, Germany.
Material and methods
Data collection was conducted from 2012-2016 in six certified breast cancer centers using a personal questionnaire and data from the patients' medical records. Stratification into subgroups was carried out according to first and second generation immigrants and country of origin.
Results
1547/2129 primary breast cancer cases were analyzed. The percentage of patients with a history of immigration in our study cohort was 17.7%. The majority of them were citizens of EU27 Member states. First generation immigrants (n= 146), second generation immigrants (n=129), natives (n= 1272). No significant difference was seen in sex, age, tumor stage, histology, grading, Ki-67, Her2/neu-status, and hormone receptor status. A 100% participation rate in the mammography screening program was seen in patients with no school graduation. The lowest participation rate (85.5%) was seen in the group of native Germans with a college graduation and in first generation immigrants with a high school graduation (86.7%). Detailed statistical analysis will be presented on the poster.
Conclusion
No difference was seen between immigrants and native Germans with regard to tumor biology. In first-generation immigrants mammography screening was well accepted despite cultural and linguistic differences. Participation rate decreased with higher education level in all groups. High school graduates with immigrant background participated more frequently in breast cancer screening than native high school graduates. These findings mainly relate to immigrants from EU27 Member states rather than immigrants from non EU countries.

Abstract
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) examination is a well established method for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The examination technique has, however, certain limitations, and biopsies are needed to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. In order to determine the influence of the thickness of the needle on the histopathological evaluation of specimens, core biopsies were taken from 36 patients with hypoechoic lesions suggestive of cancer detected by TRUS, using a 1.2-mm cutting needle followed by a thinner needle (0.9-, 0.8- or 0.7-mm). A total of 164 biopsies from 41 hypoechoic lesions were obtained. The specimens were coded and examined by a pathologist. They were judged according to amount of tissue obtained, quality, length, malignancy and grade. The best results were obtained with the 1.2- and 0.9-mm needles. The results were comparable and reliable for both needle types which can be recommended for clinical practice. The 0.8- and 0.7-mm needles were found to give more or less unsatisfactory results.

Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders and is characterized by core symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Given the limitations of the existing treatment strategies, it seems necessary to consider the further exploration of alternative treatment approaches. In this review, the application and complementary use of animal-assisted interventions to the treatment of ADHD were discussed. Several mechanisms including calming, socializing, motivating, and cognitive effects of animal-assisted interventions were explored. Since studies directly investigating these effects on ADHD are scarce, so each of them were examined in terms of how it could benefit the treatment of ADHD. These effects can have a positive effect on several core symptoms of ADHD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION MEmbeR is a prospective multi-center study on medical-occupational rehabilitation in Germany. METHODS 196 neurological, psychiatric, orthopaedic, and internal medicine patients from 21 rehabilitation centres all across Germany have been enrolled and followed-up for 2 years after discharge. Primary outcome parameter was defined as return to work. Further, the SF-12 and a Mini-ICF-Rating have been used. RESULTS Mean age was 34.1 (9.9) years, length of stay 150.0 (223.5) days. Prior to occupational rehabilitation, 69.9% were unable to work, 2 years after discharge only 5.6%. Rate of participants seeking a job was reduced from 19.7% to 3.1%. In summary, 78.1% returned to work. Employed participants were younger (32.8 [9.7] vs. 38.5 [9.4] years, p=0.001) and less disabled (Degree of Disablement [GdB]: 20.0 [31.2] vs. 36.1 [33.7], p<0.05). CONCLUSION The multicenter cohort study MEmbeR provides further knowledge about the outcome of medical-occupational rehabilitation in Germany.

Abstract
To gain access to low-qualified workforces with a high proportion of migrants a multiplier programme has been developed. Prevention providers, such as statutory health insurances are appropriate multipliers across the individual enterprises. Intra-corporate multipliers are trained on different organisational levels: peer mentors on the level of the low-qualified workforces, supervisors, and members and dependents of the key management personnel. Provisional results show the effectiveness of the programme.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue is critical for systemic metabolic health. Identifying key factors regulating adipose tissue function is a research priority. The NR4A subfamily of nuclear receptors (NRs) (NR4A1/NUR77, NR4A2/NURR1 and NR4A3/NOR1) has emerged as important proteins in different disease states and in the regulation of metabolic tissues, particularly in liver and muscle. However, the expression of the NR4A members in human adipose tissue has not previously been described, and their target genes are largely unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the NR4As are differentially expressed in human adipose tissue in obesity, and identify potential NR4A target genes. DESIGN Prospective analysis of s.c. adipose tissue before and 1 year after fat loss, and during in vitro differentiation of primary human preadipocytes. Case-control comparison of omental (OM) adipose tissue. SUBJECTS A total of 13 extremely obese patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch for fat loss, 12 extremely obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and 37 lean individuals undergoing hernia repair or laparotomy were included in the study. Measurements were done by quantitative PCR gene expression analysis of the NR4A members and in silico promoter analysis based on microarray data. RESULTS There was a strong upregulation of the NR4As in extreme obesity and normalization after fat loss. The NR4As were expressed at the highest level in stromal-vascular fraction compared with adipocytes, but were downregulated in both fractions after fat loss. Their expression levels were also significantly higher in OM compared with s.c. adipocytes in obesity. The NR4As were downregulated during differentiation of primary human preadipocytes. Moreover, the NR4As were strongly induced within 30 min of tissue incubation. Finally, promoter analysis revealed potential NR4A target genes involved in stress response, immune response, development and other functions. Our data show altered adipose tissue expression of the NR4As in obesity, suggesting that these stress responsive nuclear receptors may modulate pathogenic potential in humans.

Abstract
ABSTRACTZinc oxide layers with a thickness of less than 10 nanometers have been synthesized from an aqueous solution for the application as active layer in thin film transistors. They have been conditioned by applying different oxidizing and reducing atmospheres during an annealing process at a temperature of 125°C. It is shown that the charge carrier mobility and threshold voltage is strongly influenced by the annealing atmosphere. Samples annealed in 10% forming gas (H2 in N2 - reducing atmosphere) show the highest field-effect-mobility of 0.6 cm2V-1s-1, but no saturation of the drain current, due to a high free carrier concentration. Samples treated under oxygen (strongest oxidizing atmosphere) show significantly lower mobilities. Subsequently, the samples have been exposed to synthetic air, with varying exposure times. Samples which have been annealed under hydrogen atmospheres show a pronounced decay of the drain current if exposed to synthetic air, whereas all samples conditioned under hydrogen-free atmospheres are significantly more stable under synthetic air. This enhanced sensitivity against oxygen after hydrogen treatment is attributed to residual hydrogen content in the sample that supports the formation of OH-groups which act as electron acceptors.

Abstract
Abstract. One of the innovative objectives in the EC project BRAHMATWINN was the development of a stakeholder oriented Integrated Water Resources Management System (IWRMS). The toolset integrates the findings of the project and presents it in a user friendly way for decision support in sustainable integrated water resources management (IWRM) in river basins. IWRMS is a framework, which integrates different types of basin information and which supports the development of IWRM options for climate change mitigation. It is based on the River Basin Information System (RBIS) data models and delivers a graphical user interface for stakeholders. A special interface was developed for the integration of the enhanced DANUBIA model input and the NetSyMod model with its Mulino decision support system (mulino mDss) component. The web based IWRMS contains and combines different types of data and methods to provide river basin data and information for decision support. IWRMS is based on a three tier software framework which uses (i) html/javascript at the client tier, (ii) PHP programming language to realize the application tier, and (iii) a postgresql/postgis database tier to manage and storage all data, except the DANUBIA modelling raw data, which are file based and registered in the database tier. All three tiers can reside on one or different computers and are adapted to the local hardware infrastructure. IWRMS as well as RBIS are based on Open Source Software (OSS) components and flexible and time saving access to that database is guaranteed by web-based interfaces for data visualization and retrieval. The IWRMS is accessible via the BRAHMATWINN homepage: http://www.brahmatwinn.uni-jena.de and a user manual for the RBIS is available for download as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously described the essential role of the retinoid-inducible nuclear factor (RINF) during differentiation of hematopoietic cells and suggested its putative involvement in myeloid leukemia and preleukemia. Here, we have investigated whether this gene could have a deregulated expression in malignant tissues compared with their normal tissues of origin and if this potential deregulation could be associated with important clinicopathological parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS RINF messenger RNA expression was examined in biopsies from locally advanced breast tumors, metastatic malignant melanomas, and papillary thyroid carcinomas and compared with their paired or nonpaired normal reference samples. Further, the prognostic role of RINF expression was evaluated in locally advanced breast cancer. RESULTS RINF expression was significantly higher in all tumor forms (primary breast, and thyroid cancers and metastatic melanomas) as compared with normal control tissues (P < 0.001 for each comparison). Importantly, high levels of RINF expression correlated to a poor overall survival in breast cancer (P = 0.013). This finding was confirmed in three independent public microarray datasets (P = 0.043, n = 234; P = 0.016, n = 69; P = 0.001, n = 196) and was independent of tamoxifen therapy. Notably, high levels of RINF was strongly associated with TP53 wild-type status (P = 0.002) possibly indicating that high levels of RINF could substitute for TP53 mutations as an oncogenic mechanism during the malignant development of some cases of breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that (i) RINF overexpression is associated with the malignant phenotype in solid tumors and (ii) RINF overexpression represents an independent molecular marker for poor prognosis in breast tumors.

The role of pro-inflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines in tendon healing and rupture: new insights. Scand J Med Sci Sports 2011; 21:337-51.

Abstract
Owing to limited self-healing capacity, tendon ruptures and healing remain major orthopedic challenges. Increasing evidence suggests that post-traumatic inflammatory responses, and hence, cytokines are involved in both cases, and also in tendon exercise and homeostasis. This review summarizes interrelations known between the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, IL-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in tendon to assess their role in tendon damage and healing. Exogenic cytokine sources are blood-derived leukocytes that immigrate in damaged tendon. Endogenous expression of IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and VEGF was demonstrated in tendon-derived cells. As tendon is a highly mechanosensitive tissue, cytokine homeostasis and cell survival underlie an intimate balance between adequate biomechanical stimuli and disturbance through load deprivation and overload. Multiple interrelations between cytokines and tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis, catabolic mediators e.g. matrix-degrading enzymes, inflammatory and angiogenic factors (COX-2, PGE2, VEGF, NO) and cytoskeleton assembly are evident. Pro-inflammatory cytokines affect ECM homeostasis, accelerate remodeling, amplify biomechanical adaptiveness and promote tenocyte apoptosis. This multifaceted interplay might both contribute to and interfere with healing. Much work must be undertaken to understand the particular interrelation of these inflammatory and regulatory mediators in ruptured tendon and healing, which has relevance for the development of novel immunoregulatory therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a known but rare disease, caused by human papilloma virus and characterised by multiple exophytic lesions and uncontrolled growth of papilloma in the respiratory tract. The most common complication of RRP is stenosis of the trachea. Medical therapeutic options have so far been less effective. However, inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by bevacizumab does appear to be an effective treatment option for RRP. CASE REPORT The case of a 32-year-old male patient with RRP who has been treated for his symptomatic tracheal stenosis four times a year since 1996 is described. Only treatment by laser ablation showed any efficacy. Alternative treatment options did not show any effect. In May 2006 intrapulmonary lesions of RRP were also diagnosed but without any malignancy. From December 2007 to June 2008 the patient has been treated with bevacizumab. A visible regression of RRP and markedly less symptoms were observed. During this treatment no further laser ablation was necessary. CONCLUSION Inhibition of VEGF by bevacizumab seems to offer a new and effective option in the medical management of RRP.

Abstract
In addition to the risk of patient infections during endoscopy, such as trichosporon and hepatitis C, the use of reusable forceps also carries the risk of misdiagnosis caused by residues of contaminated tissue from previous patients. Disposable forceps can eliminate these risks. However, the use of disposable materials raises the question of the associated costs. Following the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute concerning the reuse of medical instruments, this paper presents an analysis of the costs associated with reusable forceps during endoscopic procedures. This analysis allows for a direct comparison between disposable and reusable tools.
