  abstract  = {Background Pelvic palpation is a core component of every Gynecologic examination. It requires vigorous training, which is difficult due to its intimate nature, leading to a need of simulation. Up until now, there are mainly models available for mere palpation which do not offer adequate visualization of the concerning anatomical structures. In this study we present a 3D printed model of the female pelvis. It can improve both the practical teaching of gynecological pelvic examination for health care professionals and the spatial understanding of the relevant anatomy. Methods We developed a virtual, simplified model showing selected parts of the female pelvis. 3D printing was used to create a physical model. Results The life-size 3D printed model has the ability of being physically assembled step by step by its users. Consequently, it improves teaching especially when combining it with commercial phantoms, which are built solely for palpation training. This is achieved by correlating haptic and visual sensations with the resulting feedback received. Conclusion The presented 3D printed model of the female pelvis can be of aid for visualizing and teaching pelvic anatomy and examination to medical staff. 3D printing provides the possibility of creating, multiplying, adapting and sharing such data worldwide with little investment of resources. Thus, an important contribution to the international medical community can be made for training this challenging examination.},

  abstract  = {Glioblastomas are characterized by an aggressive local growth pattern, a marked degree of invasiveness and poor prognosis. Tumor invasiveness is facilitated by the increased activity of proteolytic enzymes which are involved in destruction of the extracellular matrix of the surrounding healthy brain tissue. Elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were found in glioblastoma (GBM) cell-lines, as well as in GBM biopsies as compared with low-grade astrocytoma (LGA) and normal brain samples, indicating a role in malignant progression. A careful review of the available literature revealed that both the expression and role of several of the 23 human MMP proteins is controversely discussed and for some there are no data available at all. We therefore screened a panel of 15 LGA and 15 GBM biopsy samples for those MMPs for which there is either no, very limited or even contradictory data available. Hence, this is the first complete compilation of the expression pattern of all 23 human MMPs in astrocytic tumors. This study will support a better understanding of the specific expression patterns and interaction of proteolytic enzymes in malignant human glioma and may provide additional starting points for targeted patient therapy.},

  abstract  = {Background: Ketogenic diets (KDs) have gained some popularity not only as effective weight-loss diets and treatment options for several diseases, but also among healthy and physically active individuals for various reasons. However, data on the effects of ketosis in the latter group of individuals are scarce. We therefore collected pilot data on the physiological response to a self-prescribed ketogenic diet lasting 5-7 weeks in a small cohort of healthy and physically active individuals. Methods: Twelve subjects (7 males, 5 females, age 24-60 years) who followed moderate to intensive exercise routines underwent blood testing, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and spiroergometry during an incremental treadmill test. On the next day, they went on a self-prescribed KD for a median of 38 days (range 35-50 days), after which the same tests were performed again. Ketosis was self-monitored by urinary ketone strips. Subjective feeling during the diet was assessed by a questionnaire after the intervention. Due to the small and heterogenous sample, the results are interpreted in the context of the already existing literature. Results: The KDs were tolerated well by the majority of individuals. Impaired recovery from exercise remained the most frequently reported side effect until the end of the study. Most blood parameters remained stable during the intervention. However, there were significant elevations of total and LDL cholesterol concentrations (p<0.01) and a trend towards increased HDL-cholesterol (p=0.05). The drastic reduction of carbohydrates had no statistically significant influence on running performance judged by the time to exhaustion, VO2max and respiratory compensation points. BIA measurements showed significant increases in phase angle (p=0.01) indicating improvements of body composition with an estimated decrease of 3.4 kg of fat mass (p=0.002) and gain of 1.3 kg of fat free mass. We discuss the validity of these estimates taking into account a possibly altered hydration status due to the KD. Conclusions: Active healthy individuals will probably experience no major problems during a short term KD lasting several weeks. The drastically reduced carbohydrate content of the diet seems to be no limiting factor for running performance. In addition, improvements in body composition can be expected. While most biochemical parameters are not influenced by the diet, there seems to be an impact on the blood lipid profile that could be considered problematic with respect to cardiovascular disease risk. However, the predictive role of cholesterol levels alone in individuals undergoing regular physical activity remains to be elucidated.},

  abstract  = {Background Ovarian cancer (OvCA) tissues show abundant expression of the ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 which generate immunomodulatory adenosine, thereby inhibiting cytotoxic lymphocytes. Little, however, is known about the effect of adenosine on myeloid cells. Considering that tumor associated macrophages (TAM) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) constitute up to 20 \% of OvCA tissue, we investigated the effect of adenosine on myeloid cells and explored a possible contribution of myeloid cells to adenosine generation in vitro and ex vivo. Methods Monocytes were used as human blood-derived myeloid cells. After co-incubation with SK-OV-3 or OAW-42 OvCA cells, monocyte migration was determined in transwell assays. For conversion into M2-polarized "TAM-like" macrophages, monocytes were co-incubated with OAW-42 cells. Ex vivo TAMs were obtained from OvCA ascites. Macrophage phenotypes were investigated by intracellular staining for IL-10 and IL-12. CD39 and CD73 expression were assessed by FACS analysis both on in vitro-induced TAM-like macrophages and on ascites-derived ex situ-TAMs. Myeloid cells in solid tumor tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Generation of biologically active adenosine by TAM-like macrophages was measured in luciferase-based reporter assays. Functional effects of adenosine were investigated in proliferation-experiments with CD4+ T cells and specific inhibitors. Results When CD39 or CD73 activity on OvCA cells were blocked, the migration of monocytes towards OvCA cells was significantly decreased. In vivo, myeloid cells in solid ovarian cancer tissue were found to express CD39 whereas CD73 was mainly detected on stromal fibroblasts. Ex situ-TAMs and in vitro differentiated TAM-like cells, however, upregulated the expression of CD39 and CD73 compared to monocytes or M1 macrophages. Expression of ectonucleotidases also translated into increased levels of biologically active adenosine. Accordingly, co-incubation with these TAMs suppressed CD4+ T cell proliferation which could be rescued via blockade of CD39 or CD73. Conclusion Adenosine generated by OvCA cells likely contributes to the recruitment of TAMs which further amplify adenosine-dependent immunosuppression via additional ectonucleotidase activity. In solid ovarian cancer tissue, TAMs express CD39 while CD73 is found on stromal fibroblasts. Accordingly, small molecule inhibitors of CD39 or CD73 could improve immune responses in ovarian cancer.},

  abstract  = {Seit der Entdeckung, dass Adenosin auch als Botenstoff dient, besch{\"a}ftigen sich Forschungsgruppen mit Adenosinrezeptoren und ihrer m{\"o}glichen therapeutischen Modulation, insbesondere in Zusammenhang mit Krebserkrankungen. Bislang sind die Rezeptoren auf diversen Krebszellen nachgewiesen worden. So konnten beispielsweise in einer Brustkrebszelllinie A2B Adenosinrezeptoren nachgewiesen werden, deren Stimulation zu einer Hemmung der wachstumsf{\"o}rdernden MAP Kinase f{\"u}hrt. Pharmaka zur weitgehend selektiven Aktivierung oder Hemmung einzelner Adenosinrezeptor-Subtypen stehen ebenfalls zur Verf{\"u}gung. Beim Ovarialkarzinom mit seiner leider meist erst sp{\"a}t auftretenden Symptomatik besteht derzeit noch keine M{\"o}glichkeit zur fr{\"u}hen Diagnosestellung, sodass die Prognose ausgesprochen ung{\"u}nstig ausf{\"a}llt und die Erkrankung bei Frauen eine der h{\"a}ufigsten krebsbedingten Todesursachen darstellt. Daher war es ein Ziel dieser Arbeit herauszufinden, ob Adenosinrezeptoren auf diesen Zellen einen m{\"o}glichen therapeutischen Angriffspunkt bieten. Dazu untersuchten wir die vier Ovarialkarzinomzelllinien OVCAR-3, SK-OV-3, PA-1 und OAW-42 auf eine m{\"o}gliche Expression von allen vier Adenosinrezeptorsubtypen. Zun{\"a}chst wurden mit radioaktiv markierten Liganden ([3H]CCPA, [3H]NECA und [3H]HEMADO) Bindungsstudien f{\"u}r den A1-, A2A- und A3-Subtyp durchgef{\"u}hrt. Die Expression des A2B-Rezeptors wurde mithilfe eines funktionellen Nachweises, der Stimulation der Adenylylcyclase mithilfe von NECA (einem unspezifischen Adenosinrezeptoragonisten) analysiert. Im Anschluss daran untersuchten wir an OAW-42 und SK-OV-3 Zellen, ob sich ihr Proliferationsverhalten durch eine Stimulation mit NECA ver{\"a}ndern ließe und ob sich das Ansprechen auf g{\"a}ngige Chemotherapeutika bzw. einen Todesliganden {\"a}ndern w{\"u}rde. Trotz des erfolgreichen Nachweises von Adenosinrezeptoren auf allen Zelllinien waren die Ergebnisse der Proliferationsstudien aber nicht eindeutig. OAW-42 und SK-OV-3 Zellen reagierten zwar auf eine NECA-Stimulation mit sinkendem BrdU-Einbau, OAW-42 Zellen zeigten aber nach Behandlung mit NECA eine leicht erh{\"o}hte Resistenz gegen{\"u}ber Cisplatin. NECA-behandelte SK-OV-3 Zellen reagierten hingegen etwas sensitiver auf Doxorubicin und Fas-Ligand. Die Unterschiede waren aber insgesamt sehr gering und wurden daher von uns als nicht entscheidender Effekt gewertet. Auch Untersuchungen zur Expression der Adenosin-generierenden Enzyme CD39 und CD73 vor und nach NECA-Stimulation blieben ohne erkennbare Ver{\"a}nderung. Insofern ergaben unsere Untersuchungen keine Hinweise darauf, dass Adenosinrezeptoren eine m{\"o}gliche therapeutische Zielstruktur darstellen k{\"o}nnten. Zuk{\"u}nftige Studien k{\"o}nnen aber die gewonnenen Daten als Grundlage und Ausgangspunkt n{\"u}tzen, um auch andere Tumorzellarten zu untersuchen und im Kampf gegen den Krebs nach neuen potenziellen pharmakologischen Angriffspunkten zu suchen.},

  abstract  = {Adenosinrezeptoren werden auf nahezu allen K{\"o}rperzellen exprimiert und {\"u}bernehmen dort vielf{\"a}ltige und wichtige Funktionen. Auch auf diversen Tumorzelllinien konnten bereits Adenosinrezeptoren nachgewiesen und - je nach Subtyp - mit Pro- oder Anti-tumor-Effekten in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. In dieser Arbeit wurden Geb{\"a}rmutterhalskrebszellen sowie endometriale und triple-negative Brustkrebszellen auf Expression und m{\"o}gliche Funktionen von Adenosinrezep-toren untersucht. Da spezifische Antik{\"o}rper bis heute nicht verf{\"u}gbar sind, wurde ein pharmakologischer Ansatz mit subtypspezifischen Agonisten und Antagonisten gew{\"a}hlt. In Radioliganden-Bindungsassays, konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass sich auf der Zer-vixkarzinom-Zelllinie SiHa und der Brustkrebs-Zelllinie HCC1806 Adenosinrezeptoren des Subtyps A1 befinden. Die endometrialen Krebszelllinien Ishikawa und HEC-1-A exprimieren Rezeptoren vom Subtyp A1 und A2A. A3-Adenosinrezeptoren wurden auf keiner der untersuchten Zelllinien gefunden. Der Nachweis von A2B-Rezeptoren kann mit dem Radioliganden-Bindungsassay nicht erbracht werden, da bislang kein Radioligand bekannt ist, der eine ausreichende Affini-t{\"a}t besitzt, um diesen Subtyp zweifelsfrei nachweisen zu k{\"o}nnen. Obwohl die Mehrheit der untersuchten Zelllinien Adenosinrezeptoren exprimiert, konnte ein signifikanter Effekt auf die Adenylatcyclase bei Stimulation der auf den Zellen vorhandenen Adenosinrezeptoren nur bei den HEC-1-A-Zellen festgestellt werden. Auch auf funktionelle A2B-Rezeptoren fand sich im Adenylatcyclaseassy kein Hinweis. Im durchgef{\"u}hrten Kristallviolettassay zeigte sich ein proapoptotischer Effekt auf Ishi-kawa- und HEC-1-A-Zellen bei hohen Adenosin-Konzentrationen (100 µM). Die im BrdU-Assay gemessene Proliferationsrate hingegen {\"a}nderte sich nach Vorbehandlung mit Adenosin nicht. Das metabolisch stabilere NECA (in Kombination mit ADA) hatte im Kristallviolettassay einen st{\"a}rkeren Einfluss auf die Apoptoserate der jeweiligen Zelllinie als Adenosin und auch im BrdU-Assay sank die Menge an inkorporiertem BrdU. Ein Synergismus zwischen Stimulation von Adenosinrezeptoren und diversen Todesliganden bzw. Chemotherapeutika konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. Freies extrazellul{\"a}res Adenosin kann auch aus dem Abbau von ATP generiert werden, wenn Zellen die Ektonukleotidasen CD39 und CD73 exprimieren. Aufgrund der im-munsuppressiven Wirkung von Adenosin k{\"o}nnen diese Enzyme T-Zell- und NK-Zellantworten im Mikromilieu von Tumoren hemmen. Die durchflusszytometrische Analyse von HEC-1-A- und Ishikawa-Zellen zeigte zwar, dass die Expression von CD39 und CD73 nach Stimulation der Adenosinrezeptoren unver{\"a}ndert blieb. Die Ex-pression von Enzymen, l{\"a}sst aber vermuten, dass die Zellen in vivo von Adenosin profi-tieren k{\"o}nnten. Angesichts der in vitro Daten, die allenfalls einen wachstumshemmen-den Effekt von Adenosin zeigten, k{\"o}nnte die vorrangige Wirkung von Adenosin im Tumormikromilieu tats{\"a}chlich auf der Inhibition von Immunantworten beruhen. M{\"o}g-licherweise w{\"u}rden die Rezeptoren dann in erster Linie als Sensoren dienen. Weitere Forschungsarbeit wird helfen, die Rolle der Adenosinrezeptoren im Tumorge-schehen vollst{\"a}ndig zu verstehen und m{\"o}glicherweise f{\"u}r die Krebstherapie nutzbar zu machen.},

  abstract  = {Brain metastases are the most severe tumorous spread during breast cancer disease. They are associated with a limited quality of life and a very poor overall survival. A subtype of extracellular vesicles, exosomes, are sequestered by all kinds of cells, including tumor cells, and play a role in cell-cell communication. Exosomes contain, among others, microRNAs (miRs). Exosomes can be taken up by other cells in the body, and their active molecules can affect the cellular process in target cells. Tumor-secreted exosomes can affect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and have an impact on brain metastases forming. Serum samples from healthy donors, breast cancer patients with primary tumors, or with brain, bone, or visceral metastases were used to isolate exosomes and exosomal miRs. Exosomes expressed exosomal markers CD63 and CD9, and their amount did not vary significantly between groups, as shown by Western blot and ELISA. The selected 48 miRs were detected using real-time PCR. Area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy. We identified two miRs with the potential to serve as prognostic markers for brain metastases. Hsa-miR-576-3p was significantly upregulated, and hsa-miR-130a-3p was significantly downregulated in exosomes from breast cancer patients with cerebral metastases with AUC: 0.705 and 0.699, respectively. Furthermore, correlation of miR levels with tumor markers revealed that hsa-miR-340-5p levels were significantly correlated with the percentage of Ki67-positive tumor cells, while hsa-miR-342-3p levels were inversely correlated with tumor staging. Analysis of the expression levels of miRs in serum exosomes from breast cancer patients has the potential to identify new, non-invasive, blood-borne prognostic molecular markers to predict the potential for brain metastasis in breast cancer. Additional functional analyzes and careful validation of the identified markers are required before their potential future diagnostic use.},

  abstract  = {The ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 degrade ATP to adenosine which inhibits immune responses via the \(A_{2A}\) adenosine receptor (ADORA2A) on T and NK cells. The current study investigates the potential therapeutic use of the specific anti CD39- and anti CD73-antibodies A1 (CD39) and 7G2 (CD73) as these two ectonucleotidases are overexpressed in ovarian cancer (OvCA). As expected, NK cell cytotoxicity against the human ovarian cancer cell lines OAW-42 or SK-OV-3 was significantly increased in the presence of A1 or 7G2 antibody. While this might partly be due to antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, a luciferase-dependent assay for quantifying biologically active adenosine further showed that A1 and 7G2 can inhibit CD39 and CD73-dependent adenosine-generation. In turn, the reduction in adenosine levels achieved by addition of A1 and 7G2 to OAW-42 or SK-OV-3 cells was found to de-inhibit the proliferation of \(CD4^+\) T cells in coculture with OvCA cells. Likewise, blocking of CD39 and CD73 on OvCA cells via A1 and 7G2 led to an increased cytotoxicity of alloreactive primed T cells. Thus, antibodies like A1 and 7G2 could improve targeted therapy in ovarian cancer not only by specifically labeling overexpressed antigens but also by blocking adenosine-dependent immune evasion in this immunogenic malignancy.},

  abstract  = {Simple Summary Anti-hormonal therapie regimes are well established in oncological treatments in breast cancer. In contrast there is limited knowledge of their effects on metastatic brain metastases in advanced breast cancer and their ability to cross the blood brain-barrier. In this review, we point out the usual antihormonal therapy options in the primary disease, but also in metastatic breast cancer. In addition, we explain the epidemiological facts of brain metastases, as well as the basics of the blood-brain barrier and how this is overcome by metastase. Last but not least, we deal with the known anti-hormonal therapy options and present clinical studies on their intracerebral effect, as well as the known basics of their blood-brain barrier penetration. Not all common anti-hormonal therapeutics are able to penetrate the CNS. It is therefore important for the treating oncologists to use substances that have been proven to cross the BBB, despite the limited data available. Aromataseinhibitors, especially letrozole, probably also tamoxifen, everolimus and CDK4/6 inhibitors, especially abemaciclib, appear to act intracerebrally by overcoming the blood-brain barrier. Nevertheless, further data must be obtained in basic research, but also health care research in relation to patients with brain metastases. Abstract The molecular receptor status of breast cancer has implications for prognosis and long-term metastasis. Although metastatic luminal B-like, hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative, breast cancer causes brain metastases less frequently than other subtypes, though tumor metastases in the brain are increasingly being detected of this patient group. Despite the many years of tried and tested use of a wide variety of anti-hormonal therapeutic agents, there is insufficient data on their intracerebral effectiveness and their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. In this review, we therefore summarize the current state of knowledge on anti-hormonal therapy and its intracerebral impact and effects on the blood-brain barrier in breast cancer.},
