  abstract  = {Background: The Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) defines COPD as a fixed postbronchodilator ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) below 0.7. Agedependent cut-off values below the lower fifth percentile (LLN) of this ratio derived from the general population have been proposed as an alternative. We wanted to assess the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic capability of the GOLD and LLN definition when compared to an expert-based diagnosis. Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 405 patients aged ≥ 65 years with a general practitioner's diagnosis of COPD were recruited and followed up for 4.5 (median; quartiles 3.9; 5.1) years. Prevalence rates of COPD according to GOLD and three LLN definitions and diagnostic performance measurements were calculated. The reference standard was the diagnosis of COPD of an expert panel that used all available diagnostic information, including spirometry and bodyplethysmography. Results: Compared to the expert panel diagnosis, 'GOLD-COPD' misclassified 69 (28\%) patients, and the three LLNs misclassified 114 (46\%), 96 (39\%), and 98 (40\%) patients, respectively. The GOLD classification led to more false positives, the LLNs to more false negative diagnoses. The main predictors beyond the FEV1/FVC ratio for an expert diagnosis of COPD were the FEV1 \% predicted, and the residual volume/total lung capacity ratio (RV/TLC). Adding FEV1 and RV/TLC to GOLD or LLN improved the diagnostic accuracy, resulting in a significant reduction of up to 50\% of the number of misdiagnoses. The expert diagnosis of COPD better predicts exacerbations, hospitalizations and mortality than GOLD or LLN. Conclusions: GOLD criteria over-diagnose COPD, while LLN definitions under-diagnose COPD in elderly patients as compared to an expert panel diagnosis. Incorporating FEV1 and RV/TLC into the GOLD-COPD or LLN-based definition brings both definitions closer to expert panel diagnosis of COPD, and to daily clinical practice.},

Die Bestimmung der Parasit{\"a}mie als einzig verf{\"u}gbarer Parameter kann auch bei erfolgreicher Therapie noch {\"u}ber den ersten Tag ansteigen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war, lichtmikroskopische Parameter zu finden, mit denen der Erfolg einer Therapie fr{\"u}hzeitig festgestellt werden kann. So wurden im Rahmen einer Fallstudie die Plasmodien eines an einer schweren Malaria tropica erkrankten Patienten auf morphologische Ver{\"a}nderungen im Verlauf der Chinin-Therapie untersucht. Die Beurteilung der Plasmodien erfolgte durch eine Einteilung nach ihrer Lage im Erythrozyten und der Kern-Plasma-Relation der Ringformen, anschliessend wurden die Ergebnisse durch eine Vermessung der Plasmodien am Computer verifiziert. Es zeigte sich, dass ein Therapieerfolg anhand der Ver{\"a}nderung in der Morphologie der Ringformen bereits in den ersten Stunden nach Therapiebeginn festgestellt werden kann. So l{\"a}sst sich innerhalb der ersten drei Stunden ein Wechsel von kleinen Ringformen mit d{\"u}nnem, homogenem Zytoplasmaband zu vergr{\"o}sserten Ringformen mit einem verbreiterten und inhomogenen Zytoplasma finden. Im weiteren konnten ab der 7. Therapiestunde eine zunehmende Lagever{\"a}nderungen der Plasmodien im Erythrozyten aufgezeigt werden. So waren ab diesem Zeitpunkt zunehmend Plasmodien, die die Erythrozyten-Membran hervorw{\"o}lben (Arbeitstitel „Accentu{\´e}"-Formen), im peripheren Blutausstrich des Patienten zu sehen. Dass die {\"A}nderung der Kern-Plasma-Relation der Ringformen urs{\"a}chlich einer direkten Medikamentenwirkung zuzuschreiben sind, konnte in einem abschliessenden „in vitro"-Studienteil gezeigt werden, in welchem Plasmodien-Kulturen unter Chinin-Einfluss mit Kontrollkulturen ohne Medikamenteneinfluss verglichen wurden.},

We wanted to know if 1,25D3 is able to modulate aging processes on a cellular level in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). Effects of 100 nM 1,25D3 on hMSC were analyzed by cell proliferation and apoptosis assay, beta-galactosidase staining, VDR and surface marker immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR of 1,25D3-responsive, quiescence-and replicative senescence-associated genes. 1,25D3 treatment significantly inhibited hMSC proliferation and apoptosis after 72 h and delayed the development of replicative senescence in long-term cultures according to beta-galactosidase staining and P16 expression. Cell morphology changed from a fibroblast like appearance to broad and rounded shapes. Long term treatment did not induce lineage commitment in terms of osteogenic pathways but maintained their clonogenic capacity, their surface marker characteristics (expression of CD73, CD90, CD105) and their multipotency to develop towards the chondrogenic, adipogenic and osteogenic pathways. In conclusion, 1,25D3 delays replicative senescence in primary hMSC while the pro-aging effects seen in mouse models might mainly be due to elevated systemic phosphate levels, which propagate organismal aging.},

  abstract  = {Background: Ga-[1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N0,N00,N000-tetraacetic acid]-d-Phe1,Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) positron emission tomography (PET) is commonly used for the visualization of somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive neuroendocrine tumors. SSTR is also known to be expressed on macrophages, which play a major role in inflammatory processes in the walls of coronary arteries and large vessels. Therefore, imaging SSTR expression has the potential to visualize vulnerable plaques. We assessed 68Ga-DOTATATE accumulation in large vessels in comparison to 18F-2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, calcified plaques (CPs), and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: Sixteen consecutive patients with neuroendocrine tumors or thyroid cancer underwent both 68Ga-DOTATATE and 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging or restaging purposes. Detailed clinical data, including common cardiovascular risk factors, were recorded. For a separate assessment, they were divided into a high-risk and a low-risk group. In each patient, we calculated the maximum target-to-background ratio (TBR) of eight arterial segments. The correlation of the TBRmean of both tracers with risk factors including plaque burden was assessed. Results: The mean TBR of 68Ga-DOTATATE in all large arteries correlated significantly with the presence of CPs (r = 0.52; p < 0.05), hypertension (r = 0.60; p < 0.05), age (r = 0.56; p < 0.05), and uptake of 18F-FDG (r = 0.64; p < 0.01). There was one significant correlation between 18F-FDG uptake and hypertension (0.58; p < 0.05). Out of the 37 sites with the highest focal 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake, 16 (43.2\%) also had focal 18F-FDG uptake. Of 39 sites with the highest 18F-FDG uptake, only 11 (28.2\%) had a colocalized 68Ga-DOTATATE accumulation. Conclusions: In this series of cancer patients, we found a stronger association of increased 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake with known risk factors of cardiovascular disease as compared to 18F-FDG, suggesting a potential role for plaque imaging in large arteries. Strikingly, we found that focal uptake of 68Ga-DOTATATE and 18F-FDG does not colocalize in a significant number of lesions.},

  abstract  = {Age is one of the most salient aspects in faces and of fundamental cognitive and social relevance. Although face processing has been studied extensively, brain regions responsive to age have yet to be localized. Using evocative face morphs and fMRI, we segregate two areas extending beyond the previously established face-sensitive core network, centered on the inferior temporal sulci and angular gyri bilaterally, both of which process changes of facial age. By means of probabilistic tractography, we compare their patterns of functional activation and structural connectivity. The ventral portion of Wernicke's understudied perpendicular association fasciculus is shown to interconnect the two areas, and activation within these clusters is related to the probability of fiber connectivity between them. In addition, post-hoc age-rating competence is found to be associated with high response magnitudes in the left angular gyrus. Our results provide the first evidence that facial age has a distinct representation pattern in the posterior human brain. We propose that particular face-sensitive nodes interact with additional object-unselective quantification modules to obtain individual estimates of facial age. This brain network processing the age of faces differs from the cortical areas that have previously been linked to less developmental but instantly changeable face aspects. Our probabilistic method of associating activations with connectivity patterns reveals an exemplary link that can be used to further study, assess and quantify structure-function relationships.},

  abstract  = {Die supraleitenden Eigenschaften von komplexen Materialsystemen, wie den erst k{\"u}rzlich entdeckten Eisen-Pniktiden oder den Strontium-Ruthenaten, sind oftmals durch das Zusammenspiel vieler elektronischer Orbitale bestimmt. Um die Supraleitung in derartigen Systemen besser zu verstehen, entwickeln wir in dieser Arbeit eine Multi-Orbital-Implementierung der funktionalen Renormierungsgruppe und untersuchen die Elektronenpaarung in verschiedenen charakteristischen Materialverbindungen. In den Eisen-Pniktiden finden wir hierbei mehrere Spinfluktuationskan{\"a}le, die eine Elektronenpaarung hervorrufen, sofern die Paarwellenfunktion einen Vorzeichenwechsel zwischen den verschiedenen genesteten Bereichen der Fermifl{\"a}che aufweist. Abh{\"a}ngig von den spezifischen Materialeigenschaften, wie der Dotierung oder der Position des Pniktogenatoms, f{\"u}hren diese Spinfluktuationen dann zu \$s_{\pm}\$-wellenartiger Paarung mit durchg{\"a}ngiger Energiel{\"u}cke oder mit Knoten auf der Fermifl{\"a}che. In manchen F{\"a}llen wird zudem auch \$d\$-wellenartige Paarung induziert, die in der N{\"a}he des {\"U}bergangs zur \$s_{\pm}\$-Symmetrie einen gemischten \$(s+id)\$-Zustand mit gebrochener Zeitinversionssymmetrie aufweist. Diese neuartige Phase zeigt faszinierende Eigenschaften, wie zum Beispiel das spontane Entstehen von Suprastr{\"o}men am Probenrand und um nichtmagnetische St{\"o}rstellen. Auf Grund der durchg{\"a}ngigen Energiel{\"u}cke ist dieser \$(s+id)\$-Zustand energetisch beg{\"u}nstigt. Im Folgenden untersuchen wir zudem auch die elektronischen Instabilit{\"a}ten eines weiteren außergew{\"o}hnlichen Materials -- dotiertes Graphen. Diese rein zweidimensionale Kohlenstoffverbindung ist schon seit mehreren Jahren im Fokus der Festk{\"o}rperforschung und wurde mittlerweile auch durch neuartige experimentelle Verfahren dotiert, ohne die zugrundeliegende hexagonale Gittersturktur merklich zu st{\"o}ren. Eine theoretische Beschreibung dieses Systems erfordert die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung zweier nicht-equivalenter Gitterpl{\"a}tze, was wiederum effektiv als Zwei-Orbital-System aufgefasst werden kann. Durch die besondere Symmetrie der hexagonalen Gitterstruktur sind beide \$d\$-wellenartigen Paarungskan{\"a}le entartet und ahnlich der \$(s+id)\$-Paarung in den Pniktiden finden wir hier eine chirale \$(d+id)\$-Paarung in einem weiten Dotierungsbereich um van-Hove F{\"u}llung. Des Weiteren identifizieren wir Spin-Triplet-Paarung und eine exotische Form der Spindichtewelle, welche beide durch leichte Ver{\"a}nderung der langreichweitigen H{\"u}pfamplituden und Wechselwirkungensparameter realisiert werden k{\"o}nnen. Als drittes Beispiel betrachten wir die Supraleitung in dem Strontium-Ruthenat Sr\$_2\$RuO\$_4\$. Die Besonderheit dieser Materialverbindung liegt in der m{\"o}glichen Realisierung einer chiralen Spin-Triplet Paarung, die wiederum faszinierende Eigenschaften wie die Existenz von halbganzzahligen Flussvortizes mit nicht-Abelscher Vertauschungsstatistik aufweisen w{\"u}rde. Mittels eines mikroskopischen Drei-Orbital-Modells und der Ber{\"u}cksichtigung von Spin-Bahn-Kopplung finden wir hierbei, dass moderate ferromagnetische Spinfluktuationen immer noch ausreichen, um diesen speziellen Paarungszustand anzutreiben. Die berechnete Energiel{\"u}cke zeigt im Weiteren sehr starke Anisotropien auf dem \$d_{xy}\$-Orbital-dominierten Bereich der Fermifl{\"a}che und verschwindet nahezu vollst{\"a}ndig auf den anderen beiden Fermifl{\"a}chen.},

  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  = {A remarkable feature of many small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) of Escherichia coli and Salmonella is their accumulation in the stationary phase of bacterial growth. Several stress response regulators and sigma factors have been reported to direct the transcription of stationary phase-specific sRNAs, but a widely conserved sRNA gene that is controlled by the major stationary phase and stress sigma factor, Sigma(S) (RpoS), has remained elusive. We have studied in Salmonella the conserved SdsR sRNA, previously known as RyeB, one of the most abundant stationary phase-specific sRNAs in E. coli. Alignments of the sdsR promoter region and genetic analysis strongly suggest that this sRNA gene is selectively transcribed by Sigma(S). We show that SdsR down-regulates the synthesis of the major Salmonella porin OmpD by Hfq-dependent base pairing; SdsR thus represents the fourth sRNA to regulate this major outer membrane porin. Similar to the InvR, MicC and RybB sRNAs, SdsR recognizes the ompD mRNA in the coding sequence, suggesting that this mRNA may be primarily targeted downstream of the start codon. The SdsR-binding site in ompD was localized by 3'-RACE, an experimental approach that promises to be of use in predicting other sRNA-target interactions in bacteria.},

  abstract  = {In previous studies of a genetic isolate, we identified significant linkage of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to 4q, 5q, 8q, 11q and 17p. The existence of unique large size families linked to multiple regions, and the fact that these families came from an isolated population, we hypothesized that two-locus interaction contributions to ADHD were plausible. Several analytical models converged to show significant interaction between 4q and 11q (P<1 × 10-8) and 11q and 17p (P<1 × 10-6). As we have identified that common variants of the LPHN3 gene were responsible for the 4q linkage signal, we focused on 4q-11q interaction to determine that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) harbored in the LPHN3 gene interact with SNPs spanning the 11q region that contains DRD2 and NCAM1 genes, to double the risk of developing ADHD. This interaction not only explains genetic effects much better than taking each of these loci effects by separated but also differences in brain metabolism as depicted by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy data and pharmacogenetic response to stimulant medication. These findings not only add information about how high order genetic interactions might be implicated in conferring susceptibility to develop ADHD but also show that future studies of the effects of genetic interactions on ADHD clinical information will help to shape predictive models of individual outcome.},

  abstract  = {Recently, several classifiers that combine primary tumor data, like gene expression data, and secondary data sources, such as protein-protein interaction networks, have been proposed for predicting outcome in breast cancer. In these approaches, new composite features are typically constructed by aggregating the expression levels of several genes. The secondary data sources are employed to guide this aggregation. Although many studies claim that these approaches improve classification performance over single genes classifiers, the gain in performance is difficult to assess. This stems mainly from the fact that different breast cancer data sets and validation procedures are employed to assess the performance. Here we address these issues by employing a large cohort of six breast cancer data sets as benchmark set and by performing an unbiased evaluation of the classification accuracies of the different approaches. Contrary to previous claims, we find that composite feature classifiers do not outperform simple single genes classifiers. We investigate the effect of (1) the number of selected features; (2) the specific gene set from which features are selected; (3) the size of the training set and (4) the heterogeneity of the data set on the performance of composite feature and single genes classifiers. Strikingly, we find that randomization of secondary data sources, which destroys all biological information in these sources, does not result in a deterioration in performance of composite feature classifiers. Finally, we show that when a proper correction for gene set size is performed, the stability of single genes sets is similar to the stability of composite feature sets. Based on these results there is currently no reason to prefer prognostic classifiers based on composite features over single genes classifiers for predicting outcome in breast cancer.},

  abstract  = {Anticipating where an event will occur enables us to instantaneously respond to events that occur at the expected location. Here we investigated if such spatial anticipations can be triggered by symbolic information that participants cannot consciously see. In two experiments involving a Posner cueing task and a visual search task, a central cue informed participants about the likely location of the next target stimulus. In half of the trials, this cue was rendered invisible by pattern masking. In both experiments, visible cues led to cueing effects, that is, faster responses after valid compared to invalid cues. Importantly, even masked cues caused cueing effects, though to a lesser extent. Additionally, we analyzed effects on attention that persist from one trial to the subsequent trial. We found that spatial anticipations are able to interfere with newly formed spatial anticipations and influence orienting of attention in the subsequent trial. When the preceding cue was visible, the corresponding spatial anticipation persisted to an extent that prevented a noticeable effect of masked cues. The effects of visible cues were likewise modulated by previous spatial anticipations, but were strong enough to also exert an impact on attention themselves. Altogether, the results suggest that spatial anticipations can be formed on the basis of unconscious stimuli, but that interfering influences like still active spatial anticipations can suppress this effect.},

  abstract  = {The analysis of real data by means of statistical methods with the aid of a software package common in industry and administration usually is not an integral part of mathematics studies, but it will certainly be part of a future professional work. The present book links up elements from time series analysis with a selection of statistical procedures used in general practice including the statistical software package SAS. Consequently this book addresses students of statistics as well as students of other branches such as economics, demography and engineering, where lectures on statistics belong to their academic training. But it is also intended for the practician who, beyond the use of statistical tools, is interested in their mathematical background. Numerous problems illustrate the applicability of the presented statistical procedures, where SAS gives the solutions. The programs used are explicitly listed and explained. No previous experience is expected neither in SAS nor in a special computer system so that a short training period is guaranteed. This book is meant for a two semester course (lecture, seminar or practical training) where the first three chapters can be dealt within the first semester. They provide the principal components of the analysis of a time series in the time domain. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 deal with its analysis in the frequency domain and can be worked through in the second term. In order to understand the mathematical background some terms are useful such as convergence in distribution, stochastic convergence, maximum likelihood estimator as well as a basic knowledge of the test theory, so that work on the book can start after an introductory lecture on stochastics. Each chapter includes exercises. An exhaustive treatment is recommended. Chapter 7 (case study) deals with a practical case and demonstrates the presented methods. It is possible to use this chapter independent in a seminar or practical training course, if the concepts of time series analysis are already well understood. This book is consecutively subdivided in a statistical part and an SAS-specific part. For better clearness the SAS-specific parts are highlighted. This book is an open source project under the GNU Free Documentation License.},

  abstract  = {Delayed cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious medical complication, characterized by constriction of cerebral arteries leading to varying degrees of cerebral ischemia. Numerous clinical and experimental studies have been performed in the last decades; however, the pathophysiologic mechanism of cerebral vasospasm after SAH still remains unclear. Among a variety of experimental SAH models, the double hemorrhage rat model involving direct injection of autologous arterial blood into the cisterna magna has been used most frequently for the study of delayed cerebral vasospasm following SAH in last years. Despite the simplicity of the technique, the second blood injection into the cisterna magna may result in brainstem injury leading to high mortality. Therefore, a modified double hemorrhage model of cisterna magna has been developed in rat recently. We describe here step by step the surgical technique to induce double SAH and compare the degree of vasospasm with other cisterna magna rat models using histological assessment of the diameter and cross-sectional area of the basilar artery},

  abstract  = {Background: The search for biomarkers in Parkinson's disease (PD) is crucial to identify the disease early and monitor the effectiveness of neuroprotective therapies. We aim to assess whether a gene signature could be detected in blood from early/mild PD patients that could support the diagnosis of early PD, focusing on genes found particularly altered in the substantia nigra of sporadic PD. Results: The transcriptional expression of seven selected genes was examined in blood samples from 62 early stage PD patients and 64 healthy age-matched controls. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis identified five genes as optimal predictors of PD: p19 S-phase kinase-associated protein 1A (odds ratio [OR] 0.73; 95\% confidence interval [CI] 0.60-0.90), huntingtin interacting protein-2 (OR 1.32; CI 1.08-1.61), aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 subfamily A1 (OR 0.86; 95\% CI 0.75-0.99), 19 S proteasomal protein PSMC4 (OR 0.73; 95\% CI 0.60-0.89) and heat shock 70-kDa protein 8 (OR 1.39; 95\% CI 1.14-1.70). At a 0.5 cut-off the gene panel yielded a sensitivity and specificity in detecting PD of 90.3 and 89.1 respectively and the area under the receiving operating curve (ROC AUC) was 0.96. The performance of the five-gene classifier on the de novo PD individuals alone composing the early PD cohort (n = 38), resulted in a similar ROC with an AUC of 0.95, indicating the stability of the model and also, that patient medication had no significant effect on the predictive probability (PP) of the classifier for PD risk. The predictive ability of the model was validated in an independent cohort of 30 patients at advanced stage of PD, classifying correctly all cases as PD (100\% sensitivity). Notably, the nominal average value of the PP for PD (0.95 (SD = 0.09)) in this cohort was higher than that of the early PD group (0.83 (SD = 0.22)), suggesting a potential for the model to assess disease severity. Lastly, the gene panel fully discriminated between PD and Alzheimer's disease (n = 29). Conclusions: The findings provide evidence on the ability of a five-gene panel to diagnose early/mild PD, with a possible diagnostic value for detection of asymptomatic PD before overt expression of the disorder.},

  abstract  = {Background: Adaptive Radiotherapy aims to identify anatomical deviations during a radiotherapy course and modify the treatment plan to maintain treatment objectives. This requires regions of interest (ROIs) to be defined using the most recent imaging data. This study investigates the clinical utility of using deformable image registration (DIR) to automatically propagate ROIs. Methods: Target (GTV) and organ-at-risk (OAR) ROIs were non-rigidly propagated from a planning CT scan to a per-treatment CT scan for 22 patients. Propagated ROIs were quantitatively compared with expert physician-drawn ROIs on the per-treatment scan using Dice scores and mean slicewise Hausdorff distances, and center of mass distances for GTVs. The propagated ROIs were qualitatively examined by experts and scored based on their clinical utility. Results: Good agreement between the DIR-propagated ROIs and expert-drawn ROIs was observed based on the metrics used. 94\% of all ROIs generated using DIR were scored as being clinically useful, requiring minimal or no edits. However, 27\% (12/44) of the GTVs required major edits. Conclusion: DIR was successfully used on 22 patients to propagate target and OAR structures for ART with good anatomical agreement for OARs. It is recommended that propagated target structures be thoroughly reviewed by the treating physician.},
