  abstract  = {Mast cell differentiation and proliferation depends on IL-3. IL-3 induces the activation of MAP-kinases and STATs and consequently induces proliferation and survival. Dysregulation of IL-3 signaling pathways also contribute to inflammation and tumorigenesis. We show here that IL-3 induces a SFK- and Ca2\(^{+}\)-dependent activation of the inhibitor of κB kinases 2 (IKK2) which results in mast cell proliferation and survival but does not induce IκBα-degradation and NFκB activation. Therefore we propose the term "subthreshold IKK activation". This subthreshold IKK activation also primes mast cells for enhanced responsiveness to IL-33R signaling. Consequently, co-stimulation with IL-3 and IL-33 increases IKK activation and massively enhances cytokine production induced by IL-33. We further reveal that in neoplastic mast cells expressing constitutively active Ras, subthreshold IKK activation is associated with uncontrolled proliferation. Consequently, pharmacological IKK inhibition reduces tumor growth selectively by inducing apoptosis in vivo. Together, subthreshold IKK activation is crucial to mediate the full IL-33-induced effector functions in primary mast cells and to mediate uncontrolled proliferation of neoplastic mast cells. Thus, IKK2 is a new molecularly defined target structure.},

Derartige Heterostrukturen zeichnen sich durch ein hochbewegliches zweidimensionales Elektronengas (2DEG) aus, das sich wenige 10 nm unterhalb der Probenoberfl{\"a}che ausbildet. Mittels Elektronenstrahl-Lithographie und nasschemischer {\"A}tztechnik wurde dieses Ausgangsmaterial strukturiert. Eindimensionale Leiter mit Kanalweiten von wenigen 10 nm wurden auf diese Weise hergestellt. Die Vorz{\"u}ge derartiger Strukturen zeigen sich im ballistischen Elektronentransport {\"u}ber mehrere 10 µm und einer hohen Elektronenbeweglichkeit im Bereich von 10^6cm^2/Vs. Als nanoelektronische Basiselemente wurden eingehend eindimensionale Quantendr{\"a}hte sowie y-f{\"o}rmig verzweigte Strukturen untersucht, deren Kanalleitwert {\"u}ber seitliche Gates kontrolliert werden kann. Dabei wurden die Transportmessungen {\"u}berwiegend im stark nichtlinearen Transportregime bei Temperaturen zwischen 4,2 K und Raumtemperatur durchgef{\"u}hrt. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit lag insbesondere in der Untersuchung von Verst{\"a}rkungseigenschaften und kapazitiven Kopplungen zwischen Nanodr{\"a}hten, der Realisierung von komplexen Logikfunktionen wie Z{\"a}hler- und Volladdiererstrukturen, dem Einsatz von Quantengates sowie der Analyse von rauschaktiviertem Schalten, stochastischen Resonanzph{\"a}nomenen und Magnetfeldasymmetrien des nichtlinearen mesoskopischen Leitwertes.},

  abstract  = {Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common comorbid condition in coronary heart disease (CHD). CKD predisposes the patient to acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization. Data on awareness of kidney dysfunction among CHD patients and their treating physicians are lacking. In the current cross-sectional analysis of the German EUROASPIRE IV sample we aimed to investigate the physician's awareness of kidney disease of patients hospitalized for CHD and also the patient's awareness of CKD in a study visit following hospital discharge. Methods All serum creatinine (SCr) values measured during the hospital stay were used to describe impaired kidney function (eGFR\(_{CKD-EPI}\) < 60 ml/min/1.73m2) at admission, discharge and episodes of AKI (KDIGO definition). Information extracted from hospital discharge letters and correct ICD coding for kidney disease was studied as a surrogate of physician's awareness of kidney disease. All patients were interrogated 0.5 to 3 years after hospital discharge, whether they had ever been told about kidney disease by a physician. Results Of the 536 patients, 32\% had evidence for acute or chronic kidney disease during the index hospital stay. Either condition was mentioned in the discharge letter in 22\%, and 72\% were correctly coded according to ICD-10. At the study visit in the outpatient setting 35\% had impaired kidney function. Of 158 patients with kidney disease, 54 (34\%) were aware of CKD. Determinants of patient's awareness were severity of CKD (OR\(_{eGFR}\) 0.94; 95\%CI 0.92-0.96), obesity (OR 1.97; 1.07-3.64), history of heart failure (OR 1.99; 1.00-3.97), and mentioning of kidney disease in the index event's hospital discharge letter (OR 5.51; 2.35-12.9). Conclusions Although CKD is frequent in CHD, only one third of patients is aware of this condition. Patient's awareness was associated with kidney disease being mentioned in the hospital discharge letter. Future studies should examine how raising physician's awareness for kidney dysfunction may improve patient's awareness of CKD.},

We fabricated resonant tunneling devices with GaInAsSb absorbers that allow operation in the 2-4 μm range with significant electrical responsivity of 0.97 A/W at 2004 nm to optical readout. This paper characterizes the photosensor response contrasting different operational regimes and offering a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the main physical ingredients that rule the sensor functionalities and affect its performance. We demonstrate how the drift, accumulation, and escape efficiencies of photogenerated carriers influence the electrostatic modulation of the sensor's electrical response and how they allow controlling the device's sensing abilities.},

  abstract  = {Molecular-based subclassifications of breast cancer are important for identifying treatment options and stratifying the prognosis in breast cancer. This study aimed to assess the prognosis relative to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and other subtypes, using a biomarker panel including cytokeratin 5 (CK5), cluster of differentiation 117 (CD117), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This cohort-case study included histologically confirmed breast carcinomas as cohort arm. From a total of 894 patients, 572 patients with early breast cancer, sufficient clinical data, and archived tumor tissue were included. Using the immunohistochemical markers CK5, CD117, and EGFR, two subgroups were formed: one with all three biomarkers negative (TBN) and one with at least one of those three biomarkers positive (non-TBN). There were significant differences between the two biomarker subgroups (TBN versus non-TBN) in TNBC for DFS (p = 0.04) and OS (p = 0.02), with higher survival rates (DFS and OS) in the non-TBN subgroup. In this study, we found the non-TBN subgroup of TNBC lesions with at least one positive biomarker of CK5, CD117, and/or EGFR, to be associated with longer DFS and OS.},

  abstract  = {The subclassification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) into germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) and activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtypes has become mandatory in the 2017 update of the WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms and will continue to be used in the WHO 5\(^{th}\) edition. The RNA-based Lymph2Cx assay has been validated as a reliable surrogate of high-throughput gene expression profiling assays for distinguishing between GCB and ABC DLBCL and provides reliable results from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material. This test has been previously used in clinical trials, but experience from real-world routine application is rare. We routinely applied the Lymph2Cx assay to day-to-day diagnostics on a series of 147 aggressive B-cell lymphoma cases and correlated our results with the immunohistochemical subclassification using the Hans algorithm and fluorescence in situ hybridization findings using break-apart probes for MYC, BCL2, and BCL6. The routine use of the Lymph2Cx assay had a high technical success rate (94.6\%) with a low rate of failure due to poor material and/or RNA quality. The Lymph2Cx assay was discordant with the Hans algorithm in 18\% (23 of 128 cases). Discordant cases were mainly classified as GCB by the Hans algorithm and as ABC by Lymph2Cx (n = 11, 8.6\%). Only 5 cases (3.9\%) were classified as non-GCB by the Hans algorithm and as GCB by Lymph2Cx. Additionally, 5.5\% of cases (n = 7) were left unclassified by Lymph2Cx, whereas they were defined as GCB (n = 4) or non-GCB (n = 3) by the Hans algorithm. Our data support the routine applicability of the Lymph2Cx assay.},
