Medizin - Abstract
Biliary-tract-carcinomas (BTC), pancreatic-ductal-adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and adenoidcystic-carcinomas (AC) have in common that they are traditionally treated with large clinical-target-volumes (CTV). The aim of this study is to examine the impact of pretreatment-[68Ga]FAPI-PET/CT on target-volume-definition and posttreatment-[68Ga]FAPI-PET/CT-response-assessment for BTC-, PDAC- and AC-patients referred to radiation-therapy. All consecutive BTC-, PDAC-, and AC-patients who received pretreatment-[68Ga]FAPI-PET/CT±[18F]FDG-PET/CT were included from 01.01.2020 to 01.03.2022. MTV and SUVmax were separately generated based on [68Ga]FAPI- and [18F]FDG-PET/CT-images. A [68Ga]FAPI- and [18F]FDG-based-CTV was defined. Treatment-plans were compared. Treatment-response was reassessed by a second [68Ga]FAPI-PET/CT and [18F]FDG-PET/CT after treatment-completion. Intermodality comparison of lesion-to-background-ratios [SUVmax_lesion/SUVmean_background] for individual timepoints t1 and t2 revealed significant higher values for [68Ga]FAPI compared to [18F]FDG (t1, p = 0.008; t2, p = 0.005). Intermodality comparison of radiation-therapy-plans showed that [68Ga]FAPI-based planning resulted in D100% = 97.2% and V95% = 98.8% for the [18F]FDG-MTV. [18F]FDG-based-planning resulted in D100% = 35.9% and V95% = 78.1% for [68Ga]FAPI-MTV. [18F]FDG-based-planning resulted only in 2 patients in V95% > 95% for [68Ga]FAPI-MTV, and in 1 patient in D100% > 97% for [68Ga]FAPI-MTV. GTV-coverage in terms of V95% was 76.4% by [18F]FDG-based-planning and 99.5% by [68Ga]FAPI-based-planning. Pretreatment [68Ga]FAPI-PET/CT enhances radiation-treatment-planning in this particular group of patients. While perilesional and tumoral follow-up [18F]FDG-uptake behaved uniformly, perilesional and tumoral reaction may differ in follow-up [68Ga]FAPI-imaging. Complementary [68Ga]FAPI- and [18F]FDG-imaging enhance treatment-response-assessment. OA Förderung 2022

Als potenzieller Modulator zellulärer Signalwege steht das Nichtstrukturprotein 5A (NS5A) im Zentrum des Interesses, wenn es sich um die Erforschung der Wechselwirkung des Hepatitis-C-Virus (HCV) mit seinem Wirt handelt. Eine lebenslange NS5A-Expression in einer Mausleber war scheinbar allein nicht in der Lage, die Pathogenese der Leber zu beeinflussen. Aus diesem Grunde wurde das Modell der NS5A-transgenen Maus unter Leberbeschädigung mit Tetrachloromethan (CCL4) vorgesehen, um die Rolle des NS5A in der HCV-assoziierten Pathogenese genauer zu bestimmen. Es wurde eine vergleichbare Gruppe jeweils von Wildtyp-Tieren und von NS5A-trangenen-Mäusen (n ) zu jedem Todeszeitpunkt (24, 48 bzw. 72 Stunden; 45 Tage) untersucht. Zunächst wurde das Ausmaß des Gewebeschadens betrachtet und die zelluläre Antwort als Aktivierung der Nrf2-induzierten Entgiftungssysteme untersucht. Es wurde ein positiver Einfluss des NS5A auf die Entstehung der Karbonylderivaten, auf die höhere GOT-Aktivität gemessen und auf den Ausmaß der zentral-lobulären Nekrose veranschaulicht. Anderseits wurde eine portale Nekrose und eine Leukozyten-Infiltration des nekrotischen Lebergebietes durch das NS5A gehemmt. Eine ambivalente, NS5A-assoziierte Regulierung der Nrf2/ARE-abhängigen Gene lässt eine Gegensteuerung in diesem Tiermodell vermuten (ein positiver Einfluss auf GPx-Expression und ein hemmender Effekt auf GCSC-Expression). Zusätzlich konnte ein hemmender Effekt des NS5A auf die untersuchten MAPK-Kinasen (Mek, Erk, Jnk) gezeigt werden, was die Hemmung der ARE-abhängigen Gene teilweise aufklären könnte. Des Weiteren wurde der Einfluss des NS5A auf die Regulierung der Apoptose und Proliferation untersucht. Die Proteine Akt und Bad sind für die Regulierung der Apoptose zuständig. Es wurde eine stärkere Phosphorylierung von Bad in NS5A-TG-Mäusen gemessen. Die antiapoptotische Wirkung von NS5A durch den Abbau von Bad war durch seinen hemmenden Einfluss auf die Spaltung des PARP-Proteins und vorzeitige Rekonstitution des vollen p116-PARP messbar. In NS5A-Transgenen wurde eine höhere Konzentration von PCNA und BrdU-positiven Zellen Mäusen gemessen, was auf ein höheres Proliferationspotenzial der Hepatozyten hinweisen würde. Zusätzlich wurde der Einfluss des NS5A auf ein Bindungsprotein IκB des Transkriptionsfaktors NFκB untersucht, das für dessen Hemmung zuständig ist. Es wurde eine höhere Konzentration von IκB beta bei NS5A-TG-Mäusen gemessen, was einen negativen Einfluss auf NFκB vermuten ließ. Gleichzeitig wurde ein hemmender Effekt des NS5A auf Jnk gemessen, was einen negativen Einfluss des NS5A auf die Transkriptionsfaktoren, wie NFκB und c-Jun, bestätigte. Man könnte annehmen, dass NS5A einerseits die mit der Leberregenerierung verbundenen Signaltransduktion, wie IKK-NFκB oder MAPK-Kinasen, hemmt, anderseits jedoch die Proliferation der beschädigten und einer Apoptose nicht untergezogenen Zellen beschleunigt. Diese unkoordinierte Handlung würde einen Beitrag zur Onkogenese leisten. Dissertation, Universität Duisburg-Essen, 2018

- Abstract
Aim: To assess the course of EBV and CMV infection among children with acute leukaemia during chemotherapy with the aim to establish an efficient monitoring strategy., Material and Methods: We have analyzed 28 children with acute leukaemia (age: 4 months-16 years) treated in the Department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology, Medical University of Warsaw between 2004 and 2007 according to accepted chemotherapy protocols. In serum samples the presence of antibodies for viral capsid antigen, for nuclear and early antigen of EBV were tested by ELISA. Antibodies against CMV were tested by MEIA. Serum, blood, bone marrow samples, were tested for EBV by nested-PCR and serum samples for CMV by QT-PCR., Results: We observed primary EBV infection in 4 patients, reactivation in 11, persistent infection in one, previously undergone infection in 12 and primary CMV infection in 1 child, reactivation in 2. Nine patients were seronegative for CMV. One fatal outcome was caused by CMV pneumonitis, confirmed by ELISA test (IgM+; IgG+). Increased total bilirubin, aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase levels correlated with CMV DNA level in one blood sample. During the chemotherapy no EBV antibodies were detected in 6 patients despite positive results in earlier tests. Viral DNA was detected in one blood sample and in 2 patients it was detected in bone marrow., Conclusions: In children with leukaemia during chemotherapy primary and reactivation EBV infection occurred more often than CMV infection. Part of patients with EBV or CMV infections were seronegative during chemotherapy. Molecular biology should be the method of choice for confirmation and monitoring viral infection during intensive chemotherapy for these patients.

- Abstract
Objective: The present study shows frequency of presence of cytomegalovirus DNA in patients of Public Independent Central Clinical Hospital in Warsaw in years 2002-2006., Materials and Methods: 2486 clinical samples taken from 604 patients in years 2002-2006 were tested for the presence of HHV-5 DNA using the qualitative in-house PCR method and quantitative real-time PCR assay., Results: Positive results were obtained in 5,3% of all examinations made during described period. All of positive samples came from Department of Hematology, Oncology and Internal Medicine patients--most of them was after stem cell transplantation., Conclusions: These findings underline the value of PCR methods used in current diagnostics procedures. The high level of sensitivity and rapidity provided by this assays is favorable for the use in the detection fo HHV-5 DNA in clinical specimens.
