In 2008, Germany introduced a nationwide skin cancer screening program starting at age 35. The aims of this study were to analyse the distribution of malignant melanoma tumour stages over time, as well as demographic and regional differences in stage distribution and survival of melanoma patients. Methods Pooled data from 61 895 malignant melanoma patients diagnosed between 2002 and 2011 and documented in 28 German population-based and hospital-based clinical cancer registries were analysed using descriptive methods, joinpoint regression, logistic regression and relative survival. Results The number of annually documented cases increased by 53.2\% between 2002 (N = 4 779) and 2011 (N = 7 320). There was a statistically significant continuous positive trend in the proportion of stage UICC I cases diagnosed between 2002 and 2011, compared to a negative trend for stage UICC II. No trends were found for stages UICC III and IV respectively. Age (OR 0.97, 95\% CI 0.97-0.97), sex (OR 1.18, 95\% CI 1.11-1.25), date of diagnosis (OR 1.05, 95\% CI 1.04-1.06), 'diagnosis during screening' (OR 3.24, 95\% CI 2.50-4.19) and place of residence (OR 1.23, 95\% CI 1.16-1.30) had a statistically significant influence on the tumour stage at diagnosis. The overall 5-year relative survival for invasive cases was 83.4\% (95\% CI 82.8-83.9\%). Conclusions No distinct changes in the distribution of malignant melanoma tumour stages among those aged 35 and older were seen that could be directly attributed to the introduction of skin cancer screening in 2008.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes of rituximab in several standard-of-care-refractory autoimmune diseases (within rheumatology, nephrology, dermatology and neurology) other than rheumatoid arthritis or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a real-life clinical setting. Methods: Patients who received rituximab having shown an inadequate response to standard-of-care had their safety and clinical outcomes data retrospectively analysed as part of the German Registry of Autoimmune Diseases. The main outcome measures were safety and clinical response, as judged at the discretion of the investigators. Results: A total of 370 patients (299 patient-years) with various autoimmune diseases (23.0\% with systemic lupus erythematosus, 15.7\% antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated granulomatous vasculitides, 15.1\% multiple sclerosis and 10.0\% pemphigus) from 42 centres received a mean dose of 2,440 mg of rituximab over a median (range) of 194 (180 to 1,407) days. The overall rate of serious infections was 5.3 per 100 patient-years during rituximab therapy. Opportunistic infections were infrequent across the whole study population, and mostly occurred in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. There were 11 deaths (3.0\% of patients) after rituximab treatment (mean 11.6 months after first infusion, range 0.8 to 31.3 months), with most of the deaths caused by infections. Overall (n = 293), 13.3\% of patients showed no response, 45.1\% showed a partial response and 41.6\% showed a complete response. Responses were also reflected by reduced use of glucocorticoids and various immunosuppressives during rituximab therapy and follow-up compared with before rituximab. Rituximab generally had a positive effect on patient well-being (physician's visual analogue scale; mean improvement from baseline of 12.1 mm)}, language = {en} } @unpublished{BraunschweigKrummenacherLichtenbergetal.2016, author = {Braunschweig, Holger and Krummenacher, Ivo and Lichtenberg, Crispin and Mattock, James and Sch{\"a}fer, Marius and Schmidt, Uwe and Schneider, Christoph and Steffenhagen, Thomas and Ullrich, Stefan and Vargas, Alfredo}, title = {Dibora[2]ferrocenophane: A Carbene-Stabilized Diborene in a Strained cis-Configuration}, series = {Angewandte Chemie, International Edition}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie, International Edition}, doi = {10.1002/anie.201609601}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-141981}, pages = {9}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Unsaturated bridges that link the two cyclopentadienyl ligands together in strained ansa metallocenes are rare and limited to carbon-carbon double bonds.

Although fungus-specific CD4\(^{+}\) T cells in blood are described to reflect the actual host-pathogen interaction status, little is known about Aspergillus-specific pulmonary T-cell responses. Here, we exploit the domestic pig as human-relevant large animal model and introduce antigen-specific T-cell enrichment in pigs to address Aspergillus-specific T cells in the lung compared to peripheral blood. In healthy, environmentally Aspergillus-exposed pigs, the fungus-specific T cells are detectable in blood in similar frequencies as observed in healthy humans and exhibit a Th1 phenotype. Exposing pigs to 10\(^{6}\) cfu/m\(^{3}\) conidia induces a long-lasting accumulation of Aspergillus-specific Th1 cells locally in the lung and also systemically. Temporary immunosuppression during Aspergillus-exposure showed a drastic reduction in the lung-infiltrating antifungal T-cell responses more than 2 weeks after abrogation of the suppressive treatment. This was reflected in blood, but to a much lesser extent. In conclusion, by using the human-relevant large animal model the pig, this study highlights that the blood clearly reflects the mucosal fungal-specific T-cell reactivity in environmentally exposed as well as experimentally exposed healthy pigs. But, immunosuppression significantly impacts the mucosal site in contrast to the initial systemic immune response.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtWernerArrowsmithetal.2020, author = {Schmidt, Uwe and Werner, Luis and Arrowsmith, Merle and Deissenberger, Andrea and Hermann, Alexander and Hofmann, Alexander and Ullrich, Stefan and Mattock, James D. and Vargas, Alfredo and Braunschweig, Holger}, title = {Trans-selektive Dihydroborierung eines cis-Diborens durch Insertion: Synthese eines linearen sp\(^3\)-sp\(^2\)-sp\(^3\)-Triborans und anschließende Kationisierung}, series = {Angewandte Chemie}, volume = {132}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1002/ange.201911645}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-219713}, pages = {333-337}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Die Reaktion zwischen Aryl- und Amino(dihydro)boranen und Dibora[2]ferrocenophan 1 f{\"u}hrt zur Bildung von 1,3-trans-Dihydrotriboranen durch formale Hydrierung und Insertion eines Borylens in die B=B Doppelbindung.
