  abstract  = {The transcriptome is a powerful proxy for the physiological state of a cell, healthy or diseased. As a result, transcriptome analysis has become a key tool in understanding the molecular changes that accompany bacterial infections of eukaryotic cells. Until recently, such transcriptomic studies have been technically limited to analyzing mRNA expression changes in either the bacterial pathogen or the infected eukaryotic host cell. However, the increasing sensitivity of high-throughput RNA sequencing now enables "dual RNA-seq" studies, simultaneously capturing all classes of coding and noncoding transcripts in both the pathogen and the host. In the five years since the concept of dual RNA-seq was introduced, the technique has been applied to a range of infection models. This has not only led to a better understanding of the physiological changes in pathogen and host during the course of an infection but has also revealed hidden molecular phenotypes of virulence-associated small noncoding RNAs that were not visible in standard infection assays. Here, we use the knowledge gained from these recent studies to suggest experimental and computational guidelines for the design of future dual RNA-seq studies. We conclude this review by discussing prospective applications of the technique.},

  abstract  = {Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the most common cancer of the gastrointestinal tract with frequently dysregulated intracellular signaling pathways, including p53 signaling. The mainstay of chemotherapy treatment of CRC is 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and oxaliplatin. The two anticancer drugs mediate their therapeutic effect via DNA damage-triggered signaling. The small molecule reactivating p53 and inducing tumor apoptosis (RITA) is described as an activator of wild-type and reactivator of mutant p53 function, resulting in elevated levels of p53 protein, cell growth arrest, and cell death. Additionally, it has been shown that RITA can induce DNA damage signaling. It is expected that the therapeutic benefits of 5FU and oxaliplatin can be increased by enhancing DNA damage signaling pathways. Therefore, we highlighted the antiproliferative response of RITA alone and in combination with 5FU or oxaliplatin in human CRC cells. A panel of long-term established CRC cell lines (n = 9) including p53 wild-type, p53 mutant, and p53 null and primary patient-derived, low-passage cell lines (n = 5) with different p53 protein status were used for this study. A substantial number of CRC cells with pronounced sensitivity to RITA (IC\(_{50}\)< 3.0 μmol/l) were identified within established (4/9) and primary patient-derived (2/5) CRC cell lines harboring wild-type or mutant p53 protein. Sensitivity to RITA appeared independent of p53 status and was associated with an increase in antiproliferative response to 5FU and oxaliplatin, a transcriptional increase of p53 targets p21 and NOXA, and a decrease in MYC mRNA. The effect of RITA as an inducer of DNA damage was shown by a strong elevation of phosphorylated histone variant H2A.X, which was restricted to RITA-sensitive cells. Our data underline the primary effect of RITA, inducing DNA damage, and demonstrate the differential antiproliferative effect of RITA to CRC cells independent of p53 protein status. We found a substantial number of RITA-sensitive CRC cells within both panels of established CRC cell lines and primary patient-derived CRC cell lines (6/14) that provide a rationale for combining RITA with 5FU or oxaliplatin to enhance the antiproliferative response to both chemotherapeutic agents.},

  abstract  = {Background 40-50\% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) will develop liver metastases (CRLM) during the course of the disease. One third of these patients will additionally develop pulmonary metastases. Methods 137 consecutive patients with CRLM, were analyzed regarding survival data, clinical, histological data and treatment. Results were stratified according to the occurrence of pulmonary metastases and metastases resection. Results 39\% of all patients with liver resection due to CRLM developed additional lung metastases. 44\% of these patients underwent subsequent pulmonary resection. Patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy showed a significantly better five-year survival compared to patients not qualified for curative resection (5-year survival 71.2\% vs. 28.0\%; p = 0.001). Interestingly, the 5-year survival of these patients was even superior to all patients with CRLM, who did not develop pulmonary metastases (77.5\% vs. 63.5\%; p = 0.015). Patients, whose pulmonary metastases were not resected, were more likely to redevelop liver metastases (50.0\% vs 78.6\%; p = 0.034). However, the rate of distant metastases did not differ between both groups (54.5 vs.53.6; p = 0.945). Conclusion The occurrence of colorectal lung metastases after curative liver resection does not impact patient survival if pulmonary metastasectomy is feasible. Those patients clearly benefit from repeated resections of the liver and the lung metastases.},

  abstract  = {Alkoholabh{\"a}ngigkeit ist weltweit ein pr{\"a}valentes Problem und Alkohol-Craving stellt einen wichtigen Faktor f{\"u}r die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung der Abh{\"a}ngigkeit und f{\"u}r einen R{\"u}ckfall dar. Craving kann mithilfe subjektiver Messmethoden, bildgebenden Verfahren und mithilfe der Cue-Reaktivit{\"a}t gemessen werden. Ein Paradigma hierf{\"u}r ist die Messung der Alkohol-Cue-Reaktivit{\"a}t mithilfe des akustisch induzierten Startle Reflexes w{\"a}hrend der Pr{\"a}sentation alkoholrelevanter und anderer emotional erregender Bilder. Bei alkoholabh{\"a}ngigen Patienten wurde eine erh{\"o}hte Aktivit{\"a}t des Dorsolateralen Pr{\"a}frontalen Kortex (DLPFC) beobachtet, einem Hirnareal, das f{\"u}r exekutive Funktionen zust{\"a}ndig ist und dem eine große Rolle im Prozess des Cravings zugeschrieben wird. In der Literatur wurde gezeigt, dass eine ver{\"a}nderte Aktivit{\"a}t im DLPFC mit einem erh{\"o}hten Craving einhergeht. Zur Modulation der Aktivit{\"a}t des DLPFC kann die transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation (tDCS), eine Form der nichtinvasiven Neurostimulation, eingesetzt werden. Hierbei f{\"u}hrt eine kathodale tDC Stimulation zu einer Verringerung der neuronalen Exzitabilit{\"a}t, w{\"a}hrend anodale Stimulation diese steigert. In unserer Studie sollte {\"u}berpr{\"u}ft werden, ob durch die Modulation der Aktivit{\"a}t in Richtung einer Inaktivierung des DLPFC die Cue Reaktivit{\"a}t auf Alkoholreize im Startle Test ver{\"a}ndert werden kann und das Craving hierdurch reduziert werden kann. Hierf{\"u}r wurde eine kathodale Stimulation gew{\"a}hlt. In einer doppelblinden randomisiert-kontrollierten Studie untersuchten wir den Effekt von tDCS an 30 alkoholabh{\"a}ngigen station{\"a}ren Patienten, die sich direkt nach dem akuten Entzug befanden. Die Probanden wurden zwei Gruppen randomisiert zugeteilt, eine Gruppe mit links kathodaler Verum-Stimulation und eine Gruppe mit Sham-Stimulation. W{\"a}hrend einer 20-min{\"u}tigen tDCS-Stimulation {\"u}ber dem DLPFC wurden emotional positive, neutrale und negative Bilder sowie Alkohol-Bilder pr{\"a}sentiert und parallel der akustische Startle-Response gemessen. In unserer Untersuchung konnte gezeigt werden, dass Alkohol-Bilder im Startle Test aversiv verarbeitet werden. Zudem konnte ein signifikanter Effekt der tDCS Intervention gezeigt werden. TDCS f{\"u}hrte zu einer noch negativeren Modulation des Startle Responses. Auch f{\"u}r das subjektive Craving konnte ein mittlerer Effekt in Richtung einer Reduktion des Cravings durch tDCS gezeigt werden. Im subjektiven Bilder-Rating nach Arousal zeigte sich ein appetitiver Effekt von Alkoholreizen, jedoch kein Effekt durch die Intervention. Zusammenfassend konnte diese Studie einen signifikanten Effekt durch transkranielle Stimulation mit tDCS auf die Cue-Reaktivit{\"a}t alkoholrelevanter Reize und das subjektive Craving zeigen und unterstreicht damit die Wirksamkeit der tDC Stimulation als neuromodulatorische Methode. Dies er{\"o}ffnet neue Perspektiven f{\"u}r die zuk{\"u}nftige Modulation des Cravings durch eine Ver{\"a}nderung der neuronalen Exzitabilit{\"a}t. Trotzdem werden weitere Studien notwendig sein, die den Effekt der tDCS auf die Cue-Reaktivit{\"a}t und das Craving pr{\"u}fen. Zudem w{\"a}re es wichtig, standardisierte Stimulations- und Messprotokolle zu entwickeln, um eine bessere Vergleichbarkeit der Studien zu erm{\"o}glichen. Das Ziel weiterer Untersuchungen k{\"o}nnte sein, die tDCS als m{\"o}gliche Therapieoption zur Unterst{\"u}tzung der Therapie bei Alkoholabh{\"a}ngigkeit in den klinischen Einsatz zu etablieren. Hierzu werden multimodale klinische Therapiestudien n{\"o}tig sein, die den praktischen Einsatz in der Klinik und zudem Langzeiteffekte pr{\"u}fen. Diese Studie m{\"o}chte dazu beitragen, das Ph{\"a}nomen des Alkohol-Cravings und der Cue-Reaktivit{\"a}t besser zu verstehen, die tDCS als neue Herangehensweise zur Reduktion des Cravings zu {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen und langfristig die Therapie der Alkoholabh{\"a}ngigkeit zu verbessern.},

  abstract  = {Driving simulators are powerful research tools. Countless simulator studies have contributed to traffic safety over the last decades. Constant improvements in simulator technology call for a measureable scale to assess driving simulators with regard to their utility in human factors research. A promising psychological construct to do so is presence. It is commonly defined as the feeling of being located in a remote or virtual environment that seems to be real. Another aspect of presence describes the ability to act there successfully. The main aim of this thesis is to develop a presence model dedicated to the application in driving simulators. Established models have been combined and extended in order to gain a comprehensive model of presence that allows understanding its emergence and deriving recommendations on how to design or improve driving simulators. The five studies presented in this thesis investigate specific postulated model components and their interactions. All studies deal with motorcycling or a motorcycle riding simulator as exemplary field of application. The first study used a speed estimation task to investigate the contribution of different sensory cues to presence. While visualization plays a particularly important role, further improvements could be achieved by adding more consistent sensory stimuli to the virtual environment. Auditory, proprioceptive and vestibular cues have been subject to investigation. In the second study, the speed production method was applied. It confirmed the positive contribution of action to presence as predicted by psychocybernetic models. The third study dealt with the effect of training on presence. Hence, no positive effect was observed. The fourth study aimed at replicating previous findings on sensory fidelity and diversity in a more complex riding situation than only longitudinal vehicle control. The riders had to cross an unexpectedly appearing deep pit with the virtual motorcycle. The contribution of more consistent sensory stimulation on presence was successfully shown in this scenario, too. The final study was a real riding experiment that delivered reference values for the speed estimation capabilities of motorcycle riders. Besides higher variations in the simulator data, the general speed estimation performance was on a comparable level. Different measures, such as subjective ratings, behavioral responses, performance, and physiological reactions, have been applied as presence indicators. These studies' findings deliver evidence for the meaningful application of the proposed presence model in driving simulator settings. The results suggest that presence can be interpreted as a quality measure for perception in virtual environments. In line with psychocybernetic models, taking action, which is seen as controlling perception, enhances this quality even further. Describing the psychological construct of presence in a theoretical framework that takes the diversity of perception and action in driving simulator settings into account closes a gap in traffic psychological research.},

  abstract  = {Social life is organized around rules and norms. The present experiments investigate the cognitive architecture of rule violations. To do so, a setting with arbitrary rules that had to be followed or broken was developed, and breaking these rules did not have any negative consequences. Removed from any social influences that might further encourage or hinder the rule breaker, results suggest that simply labeling a behavior as a rule violation comes with specific costs: They are more difficult to plan and come with specific behavioral markers during execution. In essence, rule violations resemble rule negations, but they also trigger additional processes. The question of what makes rule violations more difficult than rule inversions is the major focus of the remaining experiments. These experiments revealed negative affective consequences of rule violation and rule inversions alike, while rule violations additionally prime authority-related concepts, thus sensitizing towards authority related stimuli. Next, the question how these burdens of non-conformity can be mitigated was investigated, and the influence of having executed the behavior in question frequently and recently was tested in both negations and rule violations. The burdens of non-conformity can best be reduced by a combination of having violated/negated a rule very frequently and very recently. Transfer from another task, however, could not be identified. To conclude, a model that accounts for the data that is currently presented is proposed. As a variant of a task switching model, it describes the cognitive processes that were investigated and highlights unique processing steps that rule violations seem to require.},
