Abstract

Background On festive days worldwide eyes are severely injured by fireworks. The data on the number and severity are to date not registered in Germany. Objective How frequent are firework-induced injuries in Germany, who are the affected, how serious are the injuries, which forms of treatment are necessary and how frequent are accompanying injuries? Method A German nationwide online-based survey was carried out in all inpatient eye departments and data over the last 3 consecutive years were descriptively analyzed. Results From New Years Eve 2016/2017, when 41 eye departments sent in data, the participation could be increased to 51 eye departments in 2018/2019. More than one third (33-39%) of all 1356 patients over 3 years were minors, 60% were younger than 25 years old and roughly 60% of patients were injured as bystanders or in an unclear situation. In total 25% of all eye injuries were considered severe and required inpatient treatment. Accompanying injuries of the other eye, the face and hands were more frequent in minors than in adults. Eyeball ruptures were reported in 10 minors and 38 adults over the 3 years. Conclusion Particularly minors and bystanders need better protection.

Abstract

A total of 130 million people are presumed to be infected with the hepatits C virus but the infection mostly runs a slow course and only causes problems when people age, have immune impairments or significant cofactors such as excess alcohol consumption or obesity. Age has been determined as a major risk factor for advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, while treatment, which is needed most for those with cirrhosis, is more difficult once advanced fibrosis is present. The current treatment is thought to be less effective in older people, although few data are available to reliably prove this. As some people with cirrhosis and advanced liver disease can still achieve viral clearance, these patients should be referred to a hepatologist for work-up and treatment decision.

Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have witnessed major changes over the past decade. Until the early 1990s, HCC was a relatively rare malignancy, typically diagnosed at an advanced stage in a symptomatic patient, and there were no known effective palliative or therapeutic options. However, the rising incidence of HCC in several regions around the world coupled with emerging evidence for efficacy of screening in high-risk patients, liver transplantation as a curative option in select patients, ability to make definitive diagnosis using high-resolution imaging of the liver, less dependency on obtaining tissue diagnosis, and proven efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization and sorafenib as palliative therapy have improved the outlook for HCC patients. In this article, we present a summary of the most recent information on screening, diagnosis, staging, and different treatment modalities of HCC, as well as our recommended management approach.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer is after lung cancer the second biggest cancer threat for humans and the tumor burden is rising steadily during human ageing. One important issue during human ageing is the accumulation of DNA damage inducing a p53 dependent response leading to p21-dependent senescence or apoptosis. It has been shown that deletion of DNA repair proteins as well as other components of the DNA damage pathway leads to tumor formation. Methods: In this approach we investigated the role of the tumor suppressor p53 with and without telomere dysfunction in intestinal tumor formation. Late generation of iG4 mTerc−/−; p53lox/lox and iF1 mTerc+/− p53lox/lox mice were crossed to Villin-Cre-ERT2 transgenic mouse model. In 1 month old mice Tamoxifen was injected on 5 consecutive days leading to functional deletion of the Trp53 gene. Results: In aging IF1 Terc+/− p53 deletion did not induce an obvious intestinal phenotype including tumor formation until 24 months. In contrast to p21 deletion the deletion of p53 significantly shortened the lifespan of iG4 Terc−/− Trp53−/− animals compared to iG4 Terc−/− Trp53+/+. This reduction correlated with earlier appearance of crypt atrophy and weight loss but was not associated with tumor formation. Deletion of the Trp53 gene resulted in an abrogation of the p21-dependent senescence and accumulation of DNA damage in the intestinal epithelium of both p53 deleted cohorts. Moreover this correlated with an accumulation of intestinal stem cells carrying high levels of DNA damage. On contrary to p21 deletion the deletion of p53 impaired the depletion of chromosomal instable intestinal stem cells in aging telomere dysfunctional mice. Conclusion: These results provide first proof that deletion of p53 is not able to promote tumorigenesis in the intestinal epithelium of mice and that p53 induction has a protective role preventing accumulation of damaged intestinal stem cells in aging telomere dysfunctional mice.

Abstract

Background: It has been suggested that psychosocial functioning improves after bariatric surgery, but the mechanism of this effect remains unclear. We propose that body image mediates the association between %EWL and improvement in depressive symptoms., Materials and Methods: To investigate this hypothesis, we conducted a mediation analysis in longitudinal data from 52 patients after LSG., Results: %EWL had no direct effect on depressive symptoms as assessed through the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), but a small indirect effect that was mediated through negative evaluation of the body (BIQ-20)., Conclusions: We interpret this observation in the context of complex individual etiologies of obesity and argue for a stronger focus on psychological interventions in aftercare regimes. This may be specifically relevant for patients with eating disorders or a desire for body contouring surgery.

31. Determination of combined measurement uncertainty via Monte Carlo analysis for the imaging spectrometer ROSIS.

Author

Lenhard K

Abstract

To enable traceability of imaging spectrometer data, the associated measurement uncertainties have to be provided reliably. Here a new tool for a Monte-Carlo-type measurement uncertainty propagation for the uncertainties that originate from the spectrometer itself is described. For this, an instrument model of the imaging spectrometer ROSIS is used. Combined uncertainties are then derived for radiometrically and spectrally calibrated data using a synthetic at-sensor radiance spectrum as input. By coupling this new software tool with an inverse modeling program, the measurement uncertainties are propagated for an exemplary water data product.

Abstract

Virus-like particles (VLPs) can be rapidly developed from influenza virus genetic sequences in order to supply vaccine after the onset of a pandemic. The safety and immunogenicity of one or two doses of a recombinant A (H1N1) 2009 influenza VLP vaccine was evaluated in a two-stage, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in 4563 healthy adults, 18-64 years of age, during the H1N1 2009 pandemic in Mexico. In Part A, 1013 subjects were randomized into four treatment groups (5 μg, 15 μg, or 45 μg hemagglutinin [HA] VLP vaccine or placebo) and vaccinated 21 days apart, with sera collected on Days 1, 14 and 36 for hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) testing. After review of safety and immunogenicity data from Part A, additional subjects were immunized with a single dose of 15 μg VLP vaccine (N=2537) or placebo (N=1011) and assessed for safety in Part B. Results showed the H1N1 2009 VLP vaccine was safe and well-tolerated. Systemic solicited events were similar between placebo and VLP vaccinated groups with no vaccine-related serious adverse events. Dose response trends for solicited local adverse events were observed, with higher incidences of local pain, swelling, tenderness, and redness reported in the higher VLP dose groups (15 μg and 45 μg) compared to the placebo and 5 μg VLP groups following both vaccinations. Although the majority of local AEs were mild in severity, a dose trend in events of moderate or greater severity was also noted for these solicited events. The VLP vaccine groups demonstrated robust HAI immune responses after a single vaccination, with high rates of seroprotection (≥ 40 HAI titer) in 82-92% of all subjects and in 64-85% of subjects who were seronegative at the time of immunization. HAI geometric mean titers (GMTs), geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and seroconversion rates were also all statistically higher in the VLP groups compared to placebo for both post-baseline time points. Based on these data, additional clinical trials are in development to evaluate influenza vaccine candidate antigens manufactured using Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9)/baculovirus-based VLP technology., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

Background & Aims: Detection of tumor-derived DNA alterations in stool is an intriguing new approach with high potential for the noninvasive detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). Because of heterogeneity of tumors, usually multiple markers distributed throughout the human genome need to be analyzed. This is labor intensive and does not allow for high through-put screening. Therefore, markers with high sensitivity and good specificity are needed. We explored the potential of a single epigenetic marker in comparison with fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) for the discrimination of patients with CRCs and adenomas from those without., Methods: Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to analyze hypermethylated in cancer 1 (HIC1) promoter methylation status in a blinded fashion in stool samples from 26 patients with CRC, 13 with adenoma > or =1 cm, 9 with hyperplastic polyps, 9 with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and 32 with endoscopically normal colon., Results: Ninety-seven percent of the stool samples contained amplifiable DNA. Forty-two percent of the samples from patients with CRC and 31% of the samples from patients with colorectal adenoma > or =1 cm were positive for HIC1 promoter methylation. No methylated HIC1 promoter DNA was detected in the fecal DNA from patients with endoscopically normal colon or hyperplastic polyps., Conclusions: The epigenetic marker HIC1 promoter methylation carries high potential for the remote detection of CRCs. We postulate that a panel of merely a few genetic and epigenetic markers will be required for the highly sensitive and specific detection of CRCs and adenomas in fecal samples from affected patients.
