Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of patients with large B‐cell lymphoma (LBCL) treated with chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy (CAR‐Tx), with a focus on outcomes after CAR T‐cell failure, and to define the risk factors for rapid progression and further treatment. Methods We analysed 107 patients with LBCL from the Czech Republic and Slovakia who were treated in ≥3rd‐line with tisagenlecleucel or axicabtagene ciloleucel between 2019 and 2022. Results The overall response rate (ORR) was 60%, with a 50% complete response (CR) rate. The median progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 4.3 and 26.4 months, respectively. Sixty‐three patients (59%) were refractory or relapsed after CAR‐Tx. Of these patients, 39 received radiotherapy or systemic therapy, with an ORR of 22% (CR 8%). The median follow‐up of surviving patients in whom treatment failed was 10.6 months. Several factors predicting further treatment administration and outcomes were present even before CAR‐Tx. Risk factors for not receiving further therapy after CAR‐Tx failure were high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels before apheresis, extranodal involvement (EN), high ferritin levels before lymphodepletion (LD) and ECOG PS >1 at R/P. The median OS‐2 (from R/P after CAR‐Tx) was 6.7 months (6‐month 57.9%) for treated patients and 0.4 months (6‐month 4.2%) for untreated patients (p limit of the normal range (LNR) before LD, albumin < LNR and ECOG PS > 1 at R/P. All these factors, together with LDH > LNR before LD and EN involvement at R/P, predicted OS‐2 for treated patients. Conclusion Our findings allow better stratification of CAR‐Tx candidates and stress the need for a proactive approach (earlier restaging, intervention after partial remission achievement).

Summary: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic heightened risks for individuals with hematological malignancies due to compromised immune systems, leading to more severe outcomes and increased mortality. While interventions like vaccines, targeted antivirals, and monoclonal antibodies have been effective for the general population, their benefits for these patients may not be as pronounced. Methods: The EPICOVIDEHA registry (National Clinical Trials Identifier, NCT04733729) gathers COVID-19 data from hematological malignancy patients since the pandemic's start worldwide. It spans various global locations, allowing comprehensive analysis over the first three years (2020–2022). Findings: The EPICOVIDEHA registry collected data from January 2020 to December 2022, involving 8767 COVID-19 cases in hematological malignancy patients from 152 centers across 41 countries, with 42% being female. Over this period, there was a significant reduction in critical infections and an overall decrease in mortality from 29% to 4%. However, hospitalization, particularly in the ICU, remained associated with higher mortality rates. Factors contributing to increased mortality included age, multiple comorbidities, active malignancy at COVID-19 onset, pulmonary symptoms, and hospitalization. On the positive side, vaccination with one to two doses or three or more doses, as well as encountering COVID-19 in 2022, were associated with improved survival. Interpretation: Patients with hematological malignancies still face elevated risks, despite reductions in critical infections and overall mortality rates over time. Hospitalization, especially in ICUs, remains a significant concern. The study underscores the importance of vaccination and the timing of COVID-19 exposure in 2022 for enhanced survival in this patient group. Ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions are essential to support this vulnerable population, emphasizing the critical role of timely diagnosis and prompt treatment in preventing severe COVID-19 cases. Funding: Not applicable.

BackgroundPatients with hematological malignancies (HM) are at high risk of mortality from SARS-CoV-2 disease 2019 (COVID-19). A better understanding of risk factors for adverse outcomes may improve clinical management in these patients. We therefore studied baseline characteristics of HM patients developing COVID-19 and analyzed predictors of mortality.MethodsThe survey was supported by the Scientific Working Group Infection in Hematology of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Eligible for the analysis were adult patients with HM and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 observed between March and December 2020.ResultsThe study sample includes 3801 cases, represented by lymphoproliferative (mainly non-Hodgkin lymphoma n = 1084, myeloma n = 684 and chronic lymphoid leukemia n = 474) and myeloproliferative malignancies (mainly acute myeloid leukemia n = 497 and myelodysplastic syndromes n = 279). Severe/critical COVID-19 was observed in 63.8% of patients (n = 2425). Overall, 2778 (73.1%) of the patients were hospitalized, 689 (18.1%) of whom were admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Overall, 1185 patients (31.2%) died. The primary cause of death was COVID-19 in 688 patients (58.1%), HM in 173 patients (14.6%), and a combination of both COVID-19 and progressing HM in 155 patients (13.1%). Highest mortality was observed in acute myeloid leukemia (199/497, 40%) and myelodysplastic syndromes (118/279, 42.3%). The mortality rate significantly decreased between the first COVID-19 wave (March-May 2020) and the second wave (October-December 2020) (581/1427, 40.7% vs. 439/1773, 24.8%, p value

Toscana virus is a major cause of arboviral disease in humans in the Mediterranean basin during summer. However, early virus-host cell interactions and entry mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Investigating iPSC-derived human neurons and cell lines, we found that virus binding to the cell surface was specific, and 50% of bound virions were endocytosed within 10 min. Virions entered Rab5a+ early endosomes and, subsequently, Rab7a+ and LAMP-1+ late endosomal compartments. Penetration required intact late endosomes and occurred within 30 min following internalization. Virus entry relied on vacuolar acidification, with an optimal pH for viral membrane fusion at pH 5.5. The pH threshold increased to 5.8 with longer pre-exposure of virions to the slightly acidic pH in early endosomes. Strikingly, the particles remained infectious after entering late endosomes with a pH below the fusion threshold. Overall, our study establishes Toscana virus as a late-penetrating virus and reveals an atypical use of vacuolar acidity by this virus to enter host cells.

IntroductionPL8177 is a potent and selective agonist of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). PL8177 has shown efficacy in reversing intestinal inflammation in a cannulated rat ulcerative colitis model. To facilitate oral delivery, a novel, polymer-encapsulated formulation of PL8177 was developed. This formulation was tested in 2 rat ulcerative colitis models and evaluated for distribution, in vivo, in rats, dogs, and humans. MethodsThe rat models of colitis were induced by treatment with 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid or dextran sulfate sodium. Single nuclei RNA sequencing of colon tissues was performed to characterize the mechanism of action. The distribution and concentration of PL8177 and the main metabolite within the GI tract after a single oral dose of PL8177 was investigated in rats and dogs. A phase 0 clinical study using a single microdose (70 µg) of [14C]-labeled PL8177 investigated the release of PL8177 in the colon of healthy men after oral administration.ResultsRats treated with 50 µg oral PL8177 demonstrated significantly lower macroscopic colon damage scores and improvement in colon weight, stool consistency, and fecal occult blood vs the vehicle without active drug. Histopathology analysis resulted in the maintenance of intact colon structure and barrier, reduced immune cell infiltration, and increased enterocytes with PL8177 treatment. Transcriptome data show that oral PL8177 50 µg treatment causes relative cell populations and key gene expressions levels to move closer to healthy controls. Compared with vehicle, treated colon samples show negative enrichment of immune marker genes and diverse immune-related pathways. In rats and dogs, orally administered PL8177 was detected at higher amounts in the colon vs upper GI tract. [14C]-PL8177 and the main metabolite were detected in the feces but not in the plasma and urine in humans. This suggests that the parent drug [14C]-PL8177 was released from the polymer formulation and metabolized within the GI tract, where it would be expected to exert its effect. ConclusionCollectively, these findings support further research into the oral formulation of PL8177 as a possible therapeutic for GI inflammatory diseases in humans.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of patients with large B‐cell lymphoma (LBCL) treated with chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy (CAR‐Tx), with a focus on outcomes after CAR T‐cell failure, and to define the risk factors for rapid progression and further treatment. Methods: We analysed 107 patients with LBCL from the Czech Republic and Slovakia who were treated in ≥3rd‐line with tisagenlecleucel or axicabtagene ciloleucel between 2019 and 2022. Results: The overall response rate (ORR) was 60%, with a 50% complete response (CR) rate. The median progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 4.3 and 26.4 months, respectively. Sixty‐three patients (59%) were refractory or relapsed after CAR‐Tx. Of these patients, 39 received radiotherapy or systemic therapy, with an ORR of 22% (CR 8%). The median follow‐up of surviving patients in whom treatment failed was 10.6 months. Several factors predicting further treatment administration and outcomes were present even before CAR‐Tx. Risk factors for not receiving further therapy after CAR‐Tx failure were high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels before apheresis, extranodal involvement (EN), high ferritin levels before lymphodepletion (LD) and ECOG PS >1 at R/P. The median OS‐2 (from R/P after CAR‐Tx) was 6.7 months (6‐month 57.9%) for treated patients and 0.4 months (6‐month 4.2%) for untreated patients (p < 0.001). The median PFS‐2 (from R/P after CAR‐Tx) was 3.2 months (6‐month 28.5%) for treated patients. The risk factors for a shorter PFS‐2 (n = 39) included: CRP > limit of the normal range (LNR) before LD, albumin < LNR and ECOG PS > 1 at R/P. All these factors, together with LDH > LNR before LD and EN involvement at R/P, predicted OS‐2 for treated patients. Conclusion: Our findings allow better stratification of CAR‐Tx candidates and stress the need for a proactive approach (earlier restaging, intervention after partial remission achievement).

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disease characterized by the BCR-ABL oncogene. Despite the high performance of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), about 30% of patients develop resistance to the therapy. To improve the outcomes, identification of new targets of treatment is needed. Here, we explored the Casein Kinase 2 (CK2) as a potential target for CML therapy. Previously, we detected increased phosphorylation of HSP90β Serine 226 in patients non-responding to TKIs imatinib and dasatinib. This site is known to be phosphorylated by CK2, which was also linked to CML resistance to imatinib. In the present work, we established six novel imatinib- and dasatinib-resistant CML cell lines, all of which had increased CK2 activation. A CK2 inhibitor, CX-4945, induced cell death of CML cells in both parental and resistant cell lines. In some cases, CK2 inhibition also potentiated the effects of TKI on the cell metabolic activity. No effects of CK2 inhibition were observed in normal mononuclear blood cells from healthy donors and BCR-ABL negative HL60 cell line. Our data indicate that CK2 kinase supports CML cell viability even in cells with different mechanisms of resistance to TKI, and thus represents a potential target for treatment.

IntroductionThe acquisition of a metastatic phenotype is the critical event that determines patient survival from breast cancer. Several receptor tyrosine kinases have functions both in promoting and inhibiting metastasis in breast tumors. Although the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) has been considered a target for inhibition in breast cancer, low levels of IGF1R expression are associated with worse overall patient survival.MethodsTo determine how reduced IGF1R impacts tumor phenotype in human breast cancers, we used weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) patient data to identify gene modules associated with low IGF1R expression. We then compared these modules to single cell gene expression analyses and phenotypes of mouse mammary tumors with reduced IGF1R signaling or expression in a tumor model of triple negative breast cancer.ResultsWGCNA from METABRIC data revealed gene modules specific to cell cycle, adhesion, and immune cell signaling that were inversely correlated with IGF1R expression in human breast cancers. Integration of human patient data with single cell sequencing data from mouse tumors revealed similar pathways necessary for promoting metastasis in basal-like mammary tumors with reduced signaling or expression of IGF1R. Functional analyses revealed the basis for the enhanced metastatic phenotype including alterations in E- and P-cadherins.DiscussionHuman breast and mouse mammary tumors with reduced IGF1R are associated with upregulation of several pathways necessary for promoting metastasis supporting the conclusion that IGF1R normally helps maintain a metastasis suppressive tumor microenvironment. We further found that reduced IGF1R signaling in tumor epithelial cells dysregulates cadherin expression resulting in reduced cell adhesion.

Abstract Background Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) are at high risk of mortality from SARS-CoV-2 disease 2019 (COVID-19). A better understanding of risk factors for adverse outcomes may improve clinical management in these patients. We therefore studied baseline characteristics of HM patients developing COVID-19 and analyzed predictors of mortality. Methods The survey was supported by the Scientific Working Group Infection in Hematology of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Eligible for the analysis were adult patients with HM and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 observed between March and December 2020. Results The study sample includes 3801 cases, represented by lymphoproliferative (mainly non-Hodgkin lymphoma n = 1084, myeloma n = 684 and chronic lymphoid leukemia n = 474) and myeloproliferative malignancies (mainly acute myeloid leukemia n = 497 and myelodysplastic syndromes n = 279). Severe/critical COVID-19 was observed in 63.8% of patients (n = 2425). Overall, 2778 (73.1%) of the patients were hospitalized, 689 (18.1%) of whom were admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Overall, 1185 patients (31.2%) died. The primary cause of death was COVID-19 in 688 patients (58.1%), HM in 173 patients (14.6%), and a combination of both COVID-19 and progressing HM in 155 patients (13.1%). Highest mortality was observed in acute myeloid leukemia (199/497, 40%) and myelodysplastic syndromes (118/279, 42.3%). The mortality rate significantly decreased between the first COVID-19 wave (March–May 2020) and the second wave (October–December 2020) (581/1427, 40.7% vs. 439/1773, 24.8%, p value

- Abstract
Patients affected by multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and subsequent coronavirus (20)19 disease (COVID-19)-related death. The changing epidemiological and therapeutic scenarios suggest that there has been an improvement in severity and survival of COVID-19 during the different waves of the pandemic in the general population, but this has not been investigated yet in MM patients. Here we analyzed a large cohort of 1221 patients with MM and confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection observed between February 2020, and August 2022, in the EPICOVIDEHA registry from 132 centers around the world. Median follow-up was 52 days for the entire cohort and 83 days for survivors. Three-hundred and three patients died (24%) and COVID-19 was the primary reason for death of around 89% of them. Overall survival (OS) was significantly higher in vaccinated patients with both stable and active MM versus unvaccinated, while only a trend favoring vaccinated patients was observed in subjects with responsive MM. Vaccinated patients with at least 2 doses showed a better OS than those with one or no vaccine dose. Overall, according to pandemic waves, mortality rate decreased over time from 34% to 10%. In multivariable analysis, age, renal failure, active disease, hospital, and intensive care unit admission, were independently associated with a higher number of deaths, while a neutrophil count above 0.5 × 109 /L was found to be protective. This data suggests that MM patients remain at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection even in the vaccination era, but their clinical outcome, in terms of OS, has progressively improved throughout the different viral phases of the pandemic.

- Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic heightened risks for individuals with hematological malignancies due to compromised immune systems, leading to more severe outcomes and increased mortality. While interventions like vaccines, targeted antivirals, and monoclonal antibodies have been effective for the general population, their benefits for these patients may not be as pronounced. Methods: The EPICOVIDEHA registry (National Clinical Trials Identifier, NCT04733729) gathers COVID-19 data from hematological malignancy patients since the pandemic's start worldwide. It spans various global locations, allowing comprehensive analysis over the first three years (2020–2022). Findings: The EPICOVIDEHA registry collected data from January 2020 to December 2022, involving 8767 COVID-19 cases in hematological malignancy patients from 152 centers across 41 countries, with 42% being female. Over this period, there was a significant reduction in critical infections and an overall decrease in mortality from 29% to 4%. However, hospitalization, particularly in the ICU, remained associated with higher mortality rates. Factors contributing to increased mortality included age, multiple comorbidities, active malignancy at COVID-19 onset, pulmonary symptoms, and hospitalization. On the positive side, vaccination with one to two doses or three or more doses, as well as encountering COVID-19 in 2022, were associated with improved survival. Interpretation: Patients with hematological malignancies still face elevated risks, despite reductions in critical infections and overall mortality rates over time. Hospitalization, especially in ICUs, remains a significant concern. The study underscores the importance of vaccination and the timing of COVID-19 exposure in 2022 for enhanced survival in this patient group. Ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions are essential to support this vulnerable population, emphasizing the critical role of timely diagnosis and prompt treatment in preventing severe

- Abstract
Patients affected by multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and subsequent coronavirus (20)19 disease (COVID-19)-related death. The changing epidemiological and therapeutic scenarios suggest that there has been an improvement in severity and survival of COVID-19 during the different waves of the pandemic in the general population, but this has not been investigated yet in MM patients. Here we analyzed a large cohort of 1221 patients with MM and confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection observed between February 2020, and August 2022, in the EPICOVIDEHA registry from 132 centers around the world. Median follow-up was 52 days for the entire cohort and 83 days for survivors. Three-hundred and three patients died (24%) and COVID-19 was the primary reason for death of around 89% of them. Overall survival (OS) was significantly higher in vaccinated patients with both stable and active MM versus unvaccinated, while only a trend favoring vaccinated patients was observed in subjects with responsive MM. Vaccinated patients with at least 2 doses showed a better OS than those with one or no vaccine dose. Overall, according to pandemic waves, mortality rate decreased over time from 34% to 10%. In multivariable analysis, age, renal failure, active disease, hospital, and intensive care unit admission, were independently associated with a higher number of deaths, while a neutrophil count above 0.5 × 109/L was found to be protective. This data suggests that MM patients remain at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection even in the vaccination era, but their clinical outcome, in terms of OS, has progressively improved throughout the different viral phases of the pandemic.

P21-activated kinases (PAK) regulate processes associated with cytoskeleton dynamics. PAK expression in leukemia cells was measured on protein and mRNA levels. In functional assays, we analyzed the effect of PAK inhibitors IPA-3 and FRAX597 on cell adhesivity and viability. PAK2 was dominant in cell lines, whereas primary cells also expressed comparable amount of PAK1 transcription isoforms: PAK1-full and PAK1Δ15. PAK1Δ15 and PAK2 levels correlated with surface density of integrins β1 and αVβ3. PAK1-full, but not PAK2, was present in membrane protrusions. IPA-3, which prevents PAK activation, induced cell contraction in semi-adherent HEL cells only. FRAX597, which inhibits PAK kinase activity, increased cell-surface contact area in all leukemia cells. Both inhibitors reduced the stability of cell attachment and induced cell death.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of essential oils packed in foils derived from different plant sources used in Edam type cheese on selected parameters (total viable count of microorganism, coliform bacteria, micromycetes, sensory parameters and instrumental colour). Essential oils have antibacterial and antifungal activities against microorganisms. However, the concentration of these substances applied in cheeses should be considered carefully because of their possible negative influences on sensory parameters. Mixture of the essential oils (clove/cinnamon/thymol in a 1:2:1 ratio), three concentrations (3.9 %, 6.6 %, 9.0 %), respectively mixture of the essential oils (eugenol/thymol/cinnamon in a 1:1:1 ratio), three concentrations (0.10 %, 0.19 %, 0.24 % as a 5% solution in limonene in a dry coating) were used. Samples wrapped in polystyrene dishes were stored in the refrigerator at 3 - 6 °C. Analyses were made after 48 h, 168 h (144 h), 216 h (240 h) respectively. Taste is the most affected by presence of essential oils. The effectiveness of the film with the mixture A seems to be more effective in eliminating microorganisms. Negative sensory changes were observed at higher concentration. Based on the results, the tested foils seem to be promising materials suitable for packaging of cheese.

Abstract Background Early analyses of human breast cancer identified high expression of the insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) correlated with hormone receptor positive breast cancer and associated with a favorable prognosis, whereas low expression of IGF-1R correlated with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We previously demonstrated that the IGF-1R acts as a tumor and metastasis suppressor in the Wnt1 mouse model of TNBC. The mechanisms for how reduced IGF-1R contributes to TNBC phenotypes is unknown. Methods We analyzed the METABRIC dataset to further stratify IGF-1R expression with patient survival and specific parameters of TNBC. To investigate molecular events associated with the loss of IGF-1R function in breast tumor cells, we inhibited IGF-1R in human cell lines using an IGF-1R blocking antibody and analyzed MMTV-Wnt1-mediated mouse tumors with reduced IGF-1R function through expression of a dominant-negative transgene. Results Our analysis of the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) dataset revealed association between low IGF-1R and reduced overall patient survival. IGF-1R expression was inversely correlated with patient survival even within hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, indicating reduced overall patient survival with low IGF-1R was not due simply to low IGF-1R expression within TNBCs. Inhibiting IGF-1R in either mouse or human tumor epithelial cells increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. IGF-1R inhibition in tumor epithelial cells elevated interleukin (IL)-6 and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) expression, which was reversed by ROS scavenging. Moreover, the Wnt1/dnIGF-1R primary tumors displayed a tumor-promoting immune phenotype. The increased CCL2 promoted an influx of CD11b+ monocytes into the primary tumor that also had increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9 expression. Increased MMP activity in the tumor stroma was associated with enhanced matrix remodeling and collagen deposition. Further analysis of the METABRIC dataset revealed an increase in IL-6, CCL2, and MMP-9 expression in patients with low IGF-1R, consistent with our mouse tumor model and data in human breast cancer cell lines. Conclusions Our data support the hypothesis that reduction of IGF-1R function increases cellular stress and cytokine production to promote an aggressive tumor microenvironment through infiltration of immune cells and matrix remodeling.

The ERK1/2 signaling pathway promotes myelin wrapping during development and remyelination, and sustained ERK1/2 activation in the oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage results in hypermyelination of the CNS. We therefore hypothesized that increased ERK1/2 signaling in the OL lineage would 1) protect against immune-mediated demyelination due to increased baseline myelin thickness and/or 2) promote enhanced remyelination and thus functional recovery after experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induction. Cnp-Cre;Mek1DD-eGFP/+ mice that express a constitutively active form of MEK1 (the upstream activator of ERK1/2) in the OL lineage, exhibited a significant decrease in EAE clinical severity compared to controls. However, experiments using tamoxifen-inducible Plp-Cre ERT ;Mek1DD-eGFP/+ or Pdgfrα-Cre ERT ;Mek1DD-eGFP mice revealed this was not solely due to a protective or reparative effect resulting from MEK1DD expression specifically in the OL lineage. Because EAE is an immune-mediated disease, we examined Cnp-Cre ; Mek1DD-eGFP/+ splenic immune cells for recombination. Surprisingly, GFP + recombined CD19 + B-cells, CD11b + monocytes, and CD3 + T-cells were noted when Cre expression was driven by the Cnp promoter. While ERK1/2 signaling in monocytes and T-cells is associated with proinflammatory activation, fewer studies have examined ERK1/2 signaling in B-cell populations. After in vitro stimulation, MEK1DD-expressing B-cells exhibited a 3-fold increase in CD138 + plasmablasts and a 5-fold increase in CD5 + CD1d hi B-cells compared to controls. Stimulated MEK1DD-expressing B-cells also exhibited an upregulation of IL-10, known to suppress the initiation of EAE when produced by CD5 + CD1d hi regulatory B-cells. Taken together, our data support the conclusion that sustained ERK1/2 activation in B-cells suppresses immune-mediated demyelination via increasing activation of regulatory B10 cells.

The small cellular molecule inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) has been known for ~20 years to promote the in vitro assembly of HIV-1 into immature virus-like particles. However, the molecular details underlying this effect have been determined only recently, with the identification of the IP6 binding site in the immature Gag lattice. IP6 also promotes formation of the mature capsid protein (CA) lattice via a second IP6 binding site, and enhances core stability, creating a favorable environment for reverse transcription. IP6 also enhances assembly of other retroviruses, from both the Lentivirus and the Alpharetrovirus genera. These findings suggest that IP6 may have a conserved function throughout the family Retroviridae. Here, we discuss the different steps in the viral life cycle that are influenced by IP6, and describe in detail how IP6 interacts with the immature and mature lattices of different retroviruses.

Introduction This simulation on cardiac tamponade and complete heart block in the context of severe aortic stenosis presents the learner with a rare (cardiac tamponade) and a common (complete heart block) complication in the intraoperative setting of transfemoral aortic valve implantation in a high-fidelity, low-risk simulation environment. Based on an amalgam of index cases, the simulation was developed to address a recognized area of need for cardiothoracic anesthesia scenarios in the simulation curriculum of our home institution. Methods The simulation case file covered the case narrative, learning objectives, a summary of critical actions performed, and supplemental figures needed to complete the educational activity. A high-fidelity patient simulator, an anesthesia machine, monitors, and a computer capable of displaying standard computer slide presentation software and movie files provided the optimal environment for simulation. Results Fifteen anesthesia residents experienced the simulation over the 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 academic years. The trainees who experienced this simulation improved their understanding of tamponade hemodynamic pathophysiology and recognition of hemodynamically unstable bradycardia. Discussion This case has been an effective addition to the repertoire of simulation scenarios at the University of Iowa and has been incorporated into the general curriculum of simulation cases for mid-training junior and senior anesthesia residents.
