Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, our group has conducted five multicenter trials focusing on first-line systemic therapy for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The current pooled analysis was designed to evaluate prognosis over time and the impact of clinical characteristics on survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS Individual patient data were derived from five prospective, controlled, multicenter trials conducted by the 'Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internistische Onkologie' (AIO): 'Gem/Cis', 'Ro96', 'RC57', 'ACCEPT' and 'RASH', which recruited patients between December 1997 and January 2017. RESULTS Overall, 912 patients were included. The median overall survival (OS) for all assessable patients was 7.1 months. OS significantly improved over time, with a median OS of 8.6 months for patients treated from 2012 to 2017 compared with 7.0 months from 1997 to 2006 [hazard ratio (HR) 1.06; P < 0.004]. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (HR 1.48; P < 0.001), use of second-line treatment (HR 1.51; P < 0.001), and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stage (III versus IV) (HR 1.34, P = 0.002) had a significant impact on OS. By contrast, no influence of age and gender on OS was detectable. Comparing combination therapy with single-agent chemotherapy did not demonstrate a survival benefit, nor did regimens containing epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) such as afatinib or erlotinib, compared with chemotherapy-only arms. Patients with early-onset pancreatic cancer (age at study entry of ≤50 years, n = 102) had a similar OS compared with those >50 years (7.1 versus 7.0 months; HR 1.13; P = 0.273). The use of a platinum-containing regimen was not associated with better outcomes in patients with early-onset pancreatic cancer. CONCLUSIONS Within this selected group of patients treated within prospective clinical trials, survival has shown improvement over two decades. This effect is likely attributable to the availability of more effective combination therapies and treatment lines, rather than to any specific regimen, such as those containing EGFR-TKIs. In addition, concerning age and sex subgroups, the dataset did not provide evidence for distinct clinical behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olfactory training (OT) is considered an effective intervention for most causes of smell loss and is recommended as a long-term treatment. However, the treatment adherence of OT remains unclear. This study aims to identify the frequency and causalities for lack of adherence to OT. METHODS In this prospective study, 53 patients previously diagnosed with olfactory dysfunction (OD), who were recommended to perform OT, were enrolled. Patients underwent olfactory testing using Sniffin' Sticks for threshold, discrimination, and identification (TDI) and a subjective numeric rating scale (NRS) at a baseline and follow-up visit. In addition, patients answered a six-item treatment adherence questionnaire. The primary outcome measures were clinically relevant improvements according to the TDI (>=5.5) and NRS (>=5.5) scores. RESULTS Out of 53 patients, 45 performed OT. Among patients who performed OT, 31% discontinued the use of OT on their own due to a self-perceived improvement, while 51% discontinued use due to lack of improvements in olfaction. In these patients, the average duration of OT use was five months. After controlling for baseline duration of OD, baseline TDI score and smell loss aetiologies, discontinuing OT due to a lack of self-perceived improvement remained significantly associated with worse TDI and NRS outcomes at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our data show that therapeutical adherence to OT is low, regardless of patients' perception of olfactory function. Olfactory improvement leads to decreased training due to satisfaction, while lack of improvement leads to non-adherence based on disappointing subjective outcome. Patients should be advised to perform OT consistently.

Abstract
A 58-year-old patient was admitted to the emergency department due to severe respiratory insufficiency. Anamnesis revealed that the patient had experienced increasing stress dyspnea for a few months. Upon imaging, an acute pulmonary embolism was excluded, but peribronchial and hilar soft tissue proliferation with compression of central parts of the pulmonary circulation was found. The patient had a history of silicosis. The histology report showed tumor-free lymph node particles with prominent anthracotic pigment and dust depositions without evidence of IgG4-associated disease. The patient was administered steroid therapy and underwent simultaneous stenting of the left interlobular pulmonary artery and the upper right pulmonary vein. As a result, a significant improvement in symptoms and physical performance was achieved. The diagnosis of inflammatory or, in particular, fibrosing mediastinal processes can be challenging and important clinical symptoms must be taken into account, especially if the pulmonary vasculature is involved. In such cases, the possibility of interventional procedures should be examined in addition to drug therapy options.

Abstract
PURPOSE For patients with cancer of unknown primary (CUP), treatment options are limited. Precision oncology, the interplay of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and targeted therapies, aims to offer additional treatment options to patients with advanced and hard-to-treat cancers. We aimed to highlight the use of a molecular tumor board (MTB) in the therapeutic management of CUP patients. METHODS In this single-center observational study, CUP patients, presented to the MTB of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich LMU, a tertiary care center, were analyzed retrospectively. Descriptive statistics were applied to describe relevant findings. RESULTS Between June 2016 and February 2022, 61 patients with unfavorable CUP were presented to the MTB, detected clinically relevant variants in 74% (45/61) of patients, of which 64% (29/45) led to therapeutic recommendation. In four out of 29 patients (14%), the treatment recommendations were implemented, unfortunately without resulting in clinical benefit. Reasons for not following the therapeutic recommendation were mainly caused by the physicians' choice of another therapy (9/25, 36%), especially in the context of worsening of general condition, lost to follow-up (7/25, 28%) and death (6/25, 24%). CONCLUSION CGP and subsequent presentation to a molecular tumor board led to a high rate of therapeutic recommendations in patients with CUP. Recommendations were only implemented at a low rate; however, late GCP diagnostic and, respectively, MTB referral were found more frequent for the patients with implemented treatment. This contrast underscores the need for early implementation of CGP into the management of CUP patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Climate change has been associated with an increase in extreme weather conditions. The aim of this study was to identify environmental factors and the effect of extreme weather events (95th percentile) on the risk for epistaxis-related emergency room visits (EV). METHODS A total of 2179 epistaxis-related EVs were identified between 2015 and 2018. A distributed lag non-linear model was fitted to investigate the relationship between extreme weather conditions and the total number of epistaxis-related EVs per day. Cumulative relative risk (cRR) is defined as the cumulated daily risk of EV for epistaxis within a stated period after an extreme weather condition compared to the risk of EV at the median value of that weather condition. RESULTS At a mean daily temperature of 27°C (P95), cRR for epistaxis-related EV was 2.00. At a relative humidity of 39% (P5), cRR was highest on day 3 at 1.59, while extremely high humidity (92%, P99) led to a decreased cRR of 0.7 on day 1. Intense precipitation of 24mm (P99) reduced the cRR on day 3 to 0.38. For prolonged extreme conditions over three days, extremely low wind speed, as well as both high and low atmospheric pressure events, diminished cRR. CONCLUSIONS Extreme temperatures, relative humidity, and precipitation, as well as extended periods of extreme wind speeds and atmospheric pressure, significantly impact cRR for epistaxis-related EVs.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that event-based prospective memory (EBPM) predicted health-related quality of life (HrQoL). In the present study, we aimed to examine whether the relationship between EBPM and HrQoL extended to life satisfaction, and whether it persisted after controlling for other cognitive functions related to EBPM, namely executive functions and retrospective memory. We tested two models using structural equation modeling with latent variables in a sample of older adults. In the first model, we assessed whether EBPM predicted life satisfaction and HrQoL; in the second model, we controlled for retrospective memory and executive functions. The first model indicated that EBPM was related to HrQoL. However, in the second model, this relationship was eliminated by executive functions; life satisfaction was not related to any of the cognitive variables. Findings corroborated the link between HrQoL and EBPM, suggesting that such relationship stems from executive functions rather than retrospective memory.

Abstract
AIMS The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (in-hospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, pre-hospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. CONCLUSION The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary metastasis (M1-PUL) as first site of dissemination in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rare event and may define a distinct biological subgroup. Patients and methods Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internistische Onkologie-Young Medical Oncologists-Pankreas-0515 study (AIO-YMO-PAK-0515) was a retrospective German multicenter study investigating clinical and molecular characteristics of M1-PUL PDAC patients; 115 M1-PUL PDAC patients from 7 participating centers were included. Clinical characteristics and potential prognostic factors were defined within the M1-PUL cohort. Archival tumor samples were analyzed for Her2/neu, HNF1A and KRT81 expression. Additionally, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression analysis (using a 770-gene immune profiling panel) was carried out in the M1-PUL and in a control cohort (M1-ANY). Results Median overall survival in the entire M1-PUL cohort was 20 months; the most favorable prognosis (median survival: 28 months) was observed in the subgroup of 66 PDAC patients with metachronous lung metastases after previous curative-intent surgery. The number of metastatic lesions, uni- or bilateral lung involvement as well as metastasectomy were identified as potential prognostic factors. Her2/neu expression and PDAC subtyping (by HNF1A and KRT81) did not differ between the M1-PUL and the M1-ANY cohort. mRNA expression analysis revealed significant differentially expressed genes between both cohorts: CD63 and LAMP1 were among the top 20 differentially expressed genes and were identified as potential mediators of organotropism and favorable survival outcome of M1-PUL patients. Conclusion M1-PUL represents a clinically favorable cohort in PDAC patients. Site of relapse might already be predetermined at the time of surgery and could potentially be predicted by gene expression profiling. The retrospective multicenter AIO-YMO-PAK-0515 study defines M1-PUL as a clinically favorable subgroup in PDAC. The number of metastatic lesions, bilateral lung involvement and surgical metastasectomy may serve as prognostic factors. Immune-related gene expression differs between patients with isolated pulmonary relapse versus other sites of relapse.

Abstract
The current study aimed to examine whether the Geneva Space Cruiser - a new online adaptation of the Cruiser - represents a valid, reliable and useful tool to assess prospective memory (PM) across the adult lifespan via fully self-administered online testing. Therefore, an adult lifespan sample of 252 adults (19-86 years old) performed the Geneva Space Cruiser in the laboratory and online, at home, and also performed a more traditional laboratory PM task. A second sample of 224 young adults (19-35 years old) participated in a test-retest online assessment of the Geneva Space Cruiser. Bayesian analyses showed that the Geneva Space Cruiser yielded similar results when administered in the laboratory versus online, both in terms of data distribution as well as of key outcome measures (i.e., PM performance and monitoring). Results further showed very good test-retest reliability and acceptable construct validity. Finally, the online tool was sensitive for detecting age-differences similar to those typically observed in laboratory studies. Together, our findings suggest that the Geneva Space Cruiser represents a rather valid, moderately to highly reliable, and generally useful tool to assess PM in online testing across wide ranges of the adult lifespan, with certain limitations for the oldest participants and for women.

Abstract
Purpose This pilot study aimed on generating insight on alterations in circulating immune cells during the use of FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Patients and methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated before and 30 days after initiation of chemotherapy from 20 patients with advanced PDAC. Regulatory T cells (FoxP3+) and immune checkpoints (PD-1 and TIM-3) were analyzed by flow cytometry and immunological changes were correlated with clinical outcome. Results Heterogeneous changes during chemotherapy were observed in circulating T-cell subpopulations with a pronounced effect on PD-1+ CD4+/CD8+ T cells. An increase in FoxP3+ or PD-1+ T cells had no significant effect on survival. An increase in TIM3+/CD8+ (but not TIM3+/CD4+) T cells was associated with a significant inferior outcome: median progression-free survival in the subgroup with an increase of TIM-3+/CD8+ T cells was 6.0 compared to 14.0 months in patients with a decrease/no change (p = 0.026); corresponding median overall survival was 13.0 and 20.0 months (p = 0.011), respectively. Conclusions Chemotherapy with FOLFIRNOX or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel induces variable changes in circulating T-cell populations that may provide prognostic information in PDAC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is associated with poor outcome if untreated, although it is a curable form of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Successful treatment requires an optimized diagnostic work-up.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to identify non-invasive biomarkers that might serve as new diagnostic parameters in the multifaceted pathophysiology of CTEPH.
Methods
The biomarker profile of 64 CTEPH patients who underwent balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) was analyzed prior to and after therapy and compared with that of a healthy control group (CG1, n=25) at baseline. Proteomes were analyzed by semiquantitative screening based on a proximity extension assay of three high-throughput, multiplex immunoassay panels. Serum levels of a subset of biomarkers identified in the screening were additionally measured by immunochemical methods.
Results
Fifty protein biomarkers were found to differ between CTEPH patients and CG1. Eight biomarkers changed significantly after therapy. The overlap of these two groups revealed six targets that were all upregulated in CTEPH at baseline and modifiable by treatment. In this group of biomarkers, the levels of DCN (decorin), HGF (hepatocyte growth factor), BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide), and PAPP-A (papalysin-1) decreased after therapy, whereas SPON-1 (spondin-1) and MEPE (matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein) further increased at follow-up. The differences in these biomarkers in CTEPH as well as the dynamics after therapy were confirmed and quantified in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Conclusions
This study identified 6 biomarkers that might serve as new diagnostic parameters or constitute new therapeutic targets in CTEPH. Further prospective studies will be necessary to determine the specific pathophysiological role of each marker.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Copeptin is the C-terminal fragment of the precursor protein of vasopressin. In acute pulmonary embolism, copeptin has been suggested to be a strong predictor of outcome and to provide additional predictive value to the established cardiac biomarkers high-sensitivity cardiac troponin and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is diagnosed in about 5% of patients who survive acute pulmonary embolism. Individualized risk stratification remains a challenge in the work-up of CTEPH patients.
Purpose
The current study investigated whether copeptin has the potential to aid the stratification of patients who have experienced pulmonary embolism and CTEPH patients. We examined the baseline (BL) levels and dynamics of copeptin during therapy in CTEPH patients who underwent balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) or pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). Moreover, the study compared copeptin levels between patients with or without therapy response.
Methods
The study included a total of 125 CTEPH patients scheduled for treatment. A total of 78 underwent staged BPA and 64 underwent PEA. In accordance with recent studies from our group, therapy success was defined as a decrease in meanPAP ≥25% and PVR ≥35% or a normalization below the thresholds defining pulmonary hypertension. Blood samples were collected at BL, prior to each BPA session in the BPA cohort, and at follow-up (FU) 6 months after BPA or 12 months after PEA. Copeptin was measured in thawed serum aliquots by an immunochemical method.
Results
The 78 patients in the BPA cohort underwent a mean of 6 BPA procedures each; there were a total of 413 interventions. The hemodynamic clinical and functional status the CTEPH patients improved after BPA and PEA therapy: meanPAP (BL: 43±9 mmHg vs. FU: 27±9 mmHg; p<0.001); PVR (BL: 7.6±3.4 WU vs. FU: 3.8±2.0 WU; p<0.001); RAP (BL: 7.9±5.8 mmHg vs. FU: 5.4±2.7 mmHg; p<0.001); WHO functional class [BL: I:0 / II:25 / III:80 / IV:20 vs. FU: I:56 / II:57 / III:10 / IV:2]; 6-minute-walk distance (BL: 405±99 m vs. FU: 456±112 m; p<0.001).
The median serum levels of copeptin [BL 7.7 (4.6–14.2) pmol/L vs. FU 6.3 (3.9–12.5); p=0.009] and NT-proBNP [BL: 811 (157–1857) ng/L vs. FU: 142 (72–335) ng/L p<0.001] decreased significantly after therapy. The copeptin levels did not correlate with hemodynamics at BL: PVR (rrs=0.02; p=0.79) and meanPAP (rrs=0.03; p=0.75). The copeptin levels at BL (AUC=0.61) and the relative change (AUC=0.53) did not predict the endpoint of therapy response.
Conclusions
Copeptin levels are elevated in CTEPH patients compared with normal values in the literature. Although copeptin is known to provide additional value in the context of risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism, it failed to provide additional diagnostic benefit in CTEPH in the current study.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an evolving treatment option for inoperable patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The main indicator for success is improvement in pulmonary hemodynamics, but outcome data are heterogeneous.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to evaluate pulmonary hemodynamics not only at rest, but also during exercise before and 6 months after BPA.
Methods
We report a prospective series of 64 consecutive patients with inoperable CTEPH who were treated interventionally with BPA. All patients underwent standardized assessment prior to the first BPA and 6 months after the last intervention. Assessment included WHO FC, Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), serum levels of the N-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and exercise RHC.
Results
The mean number of sessions per patient was 5.6 (± 1.3) and the mean number of pulmonary segments targeted in all interventions was 11 (± 3). BPA treatment led to improvements in pulmonary hemodynamics and exercise capacity (6MWD: 416±94 m vs. 463±96 m; p<0.0001) except for CO and CI during RHC at rest; these parameters showed improvements only during exercise RHC. MPAP at rest showed a reduction from 41±9 to 31±9 mmHg (p<0.0001) and PVR at rest decreased from 6.8±2.3 WU to 4.3±1.9 WU (p<0.0001). Further decreases were observed for systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, TPG, PVR, and TPR. Cardiac output (7.0±2.0 L/min vs. 8.3±2.0 L/min; p<0.0001) and cardiac index during exercise RHC (3.8±1.1 L/min/m2 vs. 4.4±1.1 L/min/m2; p<0.0001) improved significantly. Median NT-proBNP concentrations decreased from 741 ng/L (IQR 192–1425 ng/L) to 139 ng/L (IQR 60–266 ng/L) during BPA treatment (p<0.0001). Results from the CAMPHOR questionnaire showed significant improvements in symptoms (11±5.8 vs. 5.5±4.9, p<0.0001), activity limitations (9.2±5.6 vs. 5.2±4.5, p<0.0001), and quality of life (6.4±5.7 vs. 3.5±3.7, p<0.0001).
Conclusion
Significant improvements in pulmonary hemodynamics at rest and during exercise were observed 6 months after BPA. Exercise right heart catheterization offers a more discriminating evaluation of the changes in pulmonary hemodynamics after BPA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is the treatment of choice after cryptogenic stroke according recent evidence. The indication is based on results of several randomized controlled trials; however, the results of these trials may not be extrapolated to a real-world clinical setting. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate long-term outcome regarding recurrent stroke, migraine, and/or peripheral embolism in patients after PFO closure.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing PFO closure from 2011 to 2018 at two interventional sites with respect to periprocedural events occurring during hospitalization and long-term follow-up. Follow-up data were collected from outpatient visits or telephone interviews.
Results
The analysis included 214 consecutive patients (mean age 52 years; 58% male). The follow-up rate was 96% and the mean follow-up time was 38 (SD 22) months. The index vascular event leading to PFO closure was stroke (n=190; 89%), including patients with repetitive stroke (n=36), embolic myocardial infarction (n=21), and migraine (n=3). One quarter (24.6%) of the population studied had an atrial septal aneurysm (>15 mm). Procedural success was achieved in 98%. There were no procedure-related strokes or deaths. Periprocedural complications occurred in 16 patients (7%): two cases of pericardial tamponade, seven complications at the access site mainly caused by bleeding, two cases of transient atrial fibrillation, and five other complications. The Amplatz Septal Occluder™ was used in two thirds (64.5%) of the cases and the Gore Cardioform™ device in one third (28.6%). Four (2%) patients died during follow-up. None of these patients experienced a recurrent stroke. Ten (5%) other patients experienced a recurrent stroke. Patients with recurrent stroke events were older than patients without recurrent stroke (mean 62.6 [SD 8.8] years vs. mean 52.2 [SD 13.8] years; p=0.015) and had a higher rate of preexisting cerebrovascular occlusive disease (5 [50%] vs. 10 [6%]; p<0.0001). There was no difference in risk for recurrent stroke between patients with one prior stroke and more than one stroke before PFO closure (p=0.71). Atrial fibrillation occurred in 6.6% of the patients during follow-up, but only one of these patients had recurrent stroke. No other anatomic and vascular risk factors or antithrombotic treatments were identified as being predictive of embolic events after closure.
Conclusion
In this real-world PFO closure cohort the recurrent stroke rate is low, although it is higher than reported in the recent randomized controlled trials. Recurrent strokes after PFO closure may reflect additional comorbid risk factors such as age or cerebrovascular occlusive disease that are unrelated to the potential for paradoxical embolism.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), pulmonary artery obstruction leads to impaired pulmonary hemodynamics and secondary right heart failure, which is highly predictive of outcome. Thus, the extent of myocardial -especially right heart- remodelling is an indicator of disease severity.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to assess growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), galectin-3, and suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) as non-invasive biomarkers of myocardial remodelling in patients suffering from CTEPH.
Methods
We analysed the serum levels of GDF-15, galectin-3 and ST2 in a cohort of 64 CTEPH patients and in a control group of 25 patients without cardiovascular disease. The biomarker levels were further correlated with clinical, laboratory, and hemodynamic data, including 6-minute walking distance (6-MWD), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (meanPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and right atrial pressure (RAP).
Results
The biomarker levels in the control group were: galectin-3: 3.5 ng/l (IQR 2.7–4.0), GDF-15: 92.6 pg/ml (IQR 78.5–129.1), and ST2: 48.65 ng/l (IQR 35.5–57.0). CTEPH patients had higher levels of GDF-15 (196.7 pg/ml; IQR 128.4–302.8; p<0.001) and ST2 (52.6 ng/l; IQR 44.5–71.9; p=0.05) but not galectin-3 (3.4 ng/l; IQR 2.7–4.3; p=0.84). In the CTEPH cohort, patients with a meanPAP >35 mmHg (GDF-15: p=0.01; ST2: p=0.04) and patients with a PVR >500 dyn sec cm–5 (GDF-15: p=0.004; ST2: p=0.002) had significantly increased biomarker levels. For the detection of a meanPAP >35mmHg, ROC analysis revealed an AUC of 0.71 for GDF-15 and 0.67 for ST2. The level of GDF-15 correlated with the level of NT-proBNP (rrs=0.69; p≤0.001) and the RAP (rrs=0.54; p≤0.001) and inversely with the 6-MWD (rrs=−0.47; p≤0.001). The level of ST2 correlated with the level of NT-proBNP (rrs=0.67; p≤0.001) and the RAP (rrs=0.54; p≤0.001) and inversely with the 6-MWD (rrs=-0.31; p=0.02).
Conclusion
Our results demonstrate that GDF-15 and ST2, non-invasive biomarkers of myocardial remodelling, are significantly elevated in patients suffering from CTEPH. The correlation of biomarker levels with established outcome predictors suggests a use as indicators of disease severity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sideroblastic anemia is a rare cause of microcytic anemia, which is characterized by ring sideroblasts on bone marrow aspirate. This anemia can be congenital or acquired. CASE REPORT We report the case of an alcoholic 49-year-old man who presented with a severe microcytic sideroblastic anemia related to pyridoxine (B6 vitamin) deficiency. Acid folic deficiency was associated. The blood count normalized within one month after vitamin supplementation. CONCLUSION Pyridoxine deficiency must be sought in sideroblastic anemia in patients at risk.

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 kidney sessions of the 2017 Banff Conference focused on 2 areas: clinical implications of inflammation in areas of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (i-IFTA) and its relationship to T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), and the continued evolution of molecular diagnostics, particularly in the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). In confirmation of previous studies, it was independently demonstrated by 2 groups that i-IFTA is associated with reduced graft survival. Furthermore, these groups presented that i-IFTA, particularly when involving >25% of sclerotic cortex in association with tubulitis, is often a sequela of acute TCMR in association with underimmunosuppression. The classification was thus revised to include moderate i-IFTA plus moderate or severe tubulitis as diagnostic of chronic active TCMR. Other studies demonstrated that certain molecular classifiers improve diagnosis of ABMR beyond what is possible with histology, C4d, and detection of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) and that both C4d and validated molecular assays can serve as potential alternatives and/or complements to DSAs in the diagnosis of ABMR. The Banff ABMR criteria are thus updated to include these alternatives. Finally, the present report paves the way for the Banff scheme to be part of an integrative approach for defining surrogate endpoints in next-generation clinical trials.

Abstract
Extending the functional integrity of renal allografts is the primary goal of transplant medicine. The development of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) posttransplantation leads to chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) and transplant glomerulopathy (TG), resulting in the majority of graft losses that occur in the United States. This reduces the quality and length of life for patients and increases cost. There are no approved treatments for cAMR. Evidence suggests the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) may play an important role in DSA generation and cAMR. We identified 36 renal transplant patients with cAMR plus DSAs and TG who failed standard of care treatment with IVIg plus rituximab with or without plasma exchange. Patients were offered rescue therapy with the anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal tocilizumab with monthly infusions and monitored for DSAs and long-term outcomes. Tocilizumab-treated patients demonstrated graft survival and patient survival rates of 80% and 91% at 6 years, respectively. Significant reductions in DSAs and stabilization of renal function were seen at 2 years. No significant adverse events or severe adverse events were seen. Tocilizumab provides good long-term outcomes for patients with cAMR and TG, especially compared with historical published treatments. Inhibition of the IL-6-IL-6 receptor pathway may represent a novel approach to stabilize allograft function and extend patient lives.

Abstract
The XIII Banff meeting, held in conjunction the Canadian Society of Transplantation in Vancouver, Canada, reviewed the clinical impact of updates of C4d-negative antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) from the 2013 meeting, reports from active Banff Working Groups, the relationships of donor-specific antibody tests (anti-HLA and non-HLA) with transplant histopathology, and questions of molecular transplant diagnostics. The use of transcriptome gene sets, their resultant diagnostic classifiers, or common key genes to supplement the diagnosis and classification of rejection requires further consensus agreement and validation in biopsies. Newly introduced concepts include the i-IFTA score, comprising inflammation within areas of fibrosis and atrophy and acceptance of transplant arteriolopathy within the descriptions of chronic active T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) or chronic ABMR. The pattern of mixed TCMR and ABMR was increasingly recognized. This report also includes improved definitions of TCMR and ABMR in pancreas transplants with specification of vascular lesions and prospects for defining a vascularized composite allograft rejection classification. The goal of the Banff process is ongoing integration of advances in histologic, serologic, and molecular diagnostic techniques to produce a consensus-based reporting system that offers precise composite scores, accurate routine diagnostics, and applicability to next-generation clinical trials.

Abstract
The Banff working group on preimplantation biopsy was established to develop consensus criteria (best practice guidelines) for the interpretation of preimplantation kidney biopsies. Digitally scanned slides were used (i) to evaluate interobserver variability of histopathologic findings, comparing frozen sections with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue of wedge and needle core biopsies, and (ii) to correlate consensus histopathologic findings with graft outcome in a cohort of biopsies from international medical centers. Intraclass correlations (ICCs) and univariable and multivariable statistical analyses were performed. Good to fair reproducibility was observed in semiquantitative scores for percentage of glomerulosclerosis, arterial intimal fibrosis and interstitial fibrosis on frozen wedge biopsies. Evaluation of frozen wedge and core biopsies was comparable for number of glomeruli, but needle biopsies showed worse ICCs for glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. A consensus evaluation form is provided to help standardize the reporting of histopathologic lesions in donor biopsies. It should be recognized that histologic parameters may not correlate with graft outcome in studies based on organs deemed to be acceptable after careful clinical assessment. Significant limitations remain in the assessment of implantation biopsies.

Abstract
The 13th Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from October 5 to 10, 2015. The cardiac session was devoted to current diagnostic issues in heart transplantation with a focus on antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and small vessel arteriopathy. Specific topics included the strengths and limitations of the current rejection grading system, the central role of microvascular injury in AMR and approaches to semiquantitative assessment of histopathologic and immunophenotypic indicators, the role of AMR in the development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy, the important role of serologic antibody detection in the management of transplant recipients, and the potential application of new molecular approaches to the elucidation of the pathophysiology of AMR and potential for improving the current diagnostic system. Herein we summarize the key points from the presentations, the comprehensive, open and wide-ranging multidisciplinary discussion that was generated, and considerations for future endeavors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A revised version of the PI-RADS scoring system has been introduced and score-related variability between version 1 and 2 may be suspected. This study aimed to assess the PI-RADS scores derived from version 1 (v1) and the updated version 2 (v2). MATERIAL AND METHODS 61 patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer (PCa) and 90 lesions detected on pre-biopsy 3-Tesla multiparametric MRI were included in this retrospective analysis. 2 experienced radiologists scored all lesions in consensus. Lesion scores differing between PI-RADS v1 and v2 were further analyzed. Histology data from radical prostatectomy (RP) were included when available. RESULTS The PI-RADS v1 and v2 score differed in 52% of patients (32/61) and in 39% of lesions (35/90). On a lesion basis, the reason for the differences were related to sum score in v1 vs. categorical system in v2 in 51% (18/35) of lesions, cutoff between PI-RADS 4 and 5 based on lesion size in v2 as opposed to the sum score in v1 in 31% (11/35) and were inconclusive in 17% (6/35). The RP subgroup indicates enhanced detection of PCas with GS 3+3 and GS 3+4 in v2. CONCLUSION PI-RADS scores of prostatic lesions frequently differed between v1 and v2, the major reasons for these differences being score-related. In men undergoing RP, PI-RADS v2 improved detection of low risk PCa, but did not increase accuracy for discrimination of GS 3+4 vs. GS≥4+3 compared to v1. Urologists should be aware of the system-related differences when interpreting PI-RADS scores.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify clinical predictors of response to initial mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) therapy for membranous lupus nephritis (MLN). We observed the clinical outcomes of patients in the Hopkins Lupus Cohort within the first year of initiation of treatment with MMF therapy for newly diagnosed MLN, classified according to the new International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) 2003 classification. Complete renal remission was defined as proteinuria less than 500 mg/24 hours. Demographic, clinical, treatment and laboratory data were examined for their association with renal remission. Twenty-nine MLN patients treated with MMF were identified. Eleven (38%) patients achieved complete renal remission by 12 months. Of those taking hydroxychloroquine, 7/11 (64%) were in remission within 12 months compared to only 4/18 (22%) of those not on hyroxychloroquine ( P 0.036 based on a log-rank test). This association persisted after controlling for the presence of anti-ds-DNA ( P 0.026). Our results provide evidence that hydroxychloroquine has a benefit for renal remission when MMF is used as the initial therapy for MLN. Although hydroxychloroquine is frequently stopped in patients with lupus nephritis, this study suggests it should be started or maintained.

Abstract
The Banff 2013 classification (Banff 2013) for antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in renal allografts represents the first major revision of the original Banff classification for ABMR that was published in 2003. The main impetus for this revision was the need to include C4d-negative ABMR, although this revised classification contains a number of additional features based on findings reported from 2007 to 2013. Since its publication, several studies have examined the validity of different aspects of Banff 2013 and compared it to earlier (2003, 2007) versions of the Banff ABMR classification. Recent evidence, albeit limited, indicates that Banff 2013 represents an improvement over the previous versions, enhancing our ability to accurately diagnose cases of acute/active and chronic active ABMR on renal allograft biopsy. Molecular studies appear to justify the threshold value of glomerulitis plus peritubular capillaritis score ≥2 required by Banff 2013 for the diagnosis of C4d-negative ABMR; however, other aspects of the classification, including its overall interobserver reproducibility, the clinical significance of the category of C4d staining without evidence of rejection, and whether surrogate markers might potentially substitute for the requirement for the presence of donor-specific antibodies, require additional investigation.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry of the phosphine-tethered diamidophosphine ligands PhP(CH2CH2CH2NHPh)2 (pr[NPN]H2) and PhP(1,2-CH2-C6H4-NHSiMe3)2 (bn[NPN]H2) featuring six-membered N–C3–P chelates was explored with group 4 metals, which allowed for the consecutive development of a new trimethylene-methane-tethered [PN2] scaffold. In the case of the propylene-linked system pr[NPN]H2, access to the sparingly soluble dibenzyl derivative pr[NPN]ZrBn2 (3-Zr) was gained, while thermally sensitive zirconium and hafnium diiodo complexes bn[NPN]MI2 (5-M, M = Zr, Hf) were isolated in the case of the benzylene-linked derivative bn[NPN]H2. Despite the related phosphine-tethered backbone architectures of both of these ligands, their group 4 complexes were found to exhibit either C1-symmetric (bn[NPN]MX2) or averaged CS-symmetric (pr[NPN]MX2) structures in solution. To restrain the overall flexibility of these systems and thereby control the properties of the resulting complexes without disrupting the six-membered chelates, the new trimethylene-methane-tethered N,N′-di-(tert-butyl)-substituted [PN2]H2 protioligand was designed. This tripodal ligand system was prepared on a gram scale and its CS-symmetric dichloro complexes [PN2]MCl2 (6-M, M = Ti, Zr, Hf) were isolated subsequently. The benzene-soluble dibenzyl derivative [PN2]ZrBn2 (7-Zr) was synthesised as well and characterised by X-ray diffraction. These results are discussed not only in conjunction with the known [NPN]-coordinated group 4 complexes incorporating five-membered chelates, but also in the context of “molecular claws” that are related to the new [PN2] tripod.

Abstract
Beyond their mere presence, the distribution pattern of inflammatory cells is of special interest. Our hypothesis was that random distribution may be a clear indicator of being non-functional as a consequence of lack of interaction. Here, we have assessed the implication of cell-to-cell distances among inflammatory cells in anal squamous cell carcinoma and a possible association with survival data. Thirty-eight patients suffering from anal carcinoma were studied using tissue microarrays, double staining immunohistochemistry, whole slide scanning and image analysis software. Therapy consisted of concurrent radiochemotherapy. Numbers of stromal and intraepithelial tumor-infiltrating inflammatory cells (TIC) and the distances between cells were quantified. Double-staining of FoxP3(+) cells with either CD8(+), CD1a(+) or CD20(+) cells was performed. Measured cell-to-cell distances were compared to computer simulated cell-to-cell distances leading to the assumption of non-randomly distributed and therefore functional immune cells. Intraepithelial CD1a(+) and CD20(+) cells were randomly distributed and therefore regarded as non-functional. In contrary, stromal CD20(+) cells had a non-random distribution pattern. A non-random distance between CD20(+) and FoxP3(+) cells was associated with a clearly unfavorable outcome. Measured distances between FoxP3(+) cells were distinctly shorter than expected and indicate a functional active state of the regulatory T cells (Treg). Analysis of cell-to-cell distances between TIC has the potential to distinguish between suppressed non-functional and functionally active inflammatory cells. We conclude that in this tumor model most of the CD1a(+) cells are non-functional as are the intraepithelial CD20(+) cells, while stromal CD20(+) cells and FoxP3(+) cells are functional cells.

Abstract
We report on individual wavelength locking of a multiplet of 100-μm broad-area laser diode emitters arranged on a 50% fill-factor bar by means of a single external multi-laser cavity using an ultra-narrowband thin-film filter as a dispersive optical element. The achieved wavelength-locked output power is 216 W, corresponding to an electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency of about 49.7%. The 45 emitters of the laser diode bar are stabilized within a spectral range of about 6.4 nm. Our approach is suited for killowatt-class dense wavelength beam combining of direct diode lasers.
