  abstract  = {Donor CD4\(^+\)Foxp3\(^+\) regulatory T cells (T reg cells) suppress graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT allo-HCT]). Current clinical study protocols rely on the ex vivo expansion of donor T reg cells and their infusion in high numbers. In this study, we present a novel strategy for inhibiting GvHD that is based on the in vivo expansion of recipient T reg cells before allo-HCT, exploiting the crucial role of tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2) in T reg cell biology. Expanding radiation-resistant host T reg cells in recipient mice using a mouse TNFR2-selective agonist before allo-HCT significantly prolonged survival and reduced GvHD severity in a TNFR2-and T reg cell-dependent manner. The beneficial effects of transplanted T cells against leukemia cells and infectious pathogens remained unaffected. A corresponding human TNFR2-specific agonist expanded human T reg cells in vitro. These observations indicate the potential of our strategy to protect allo-HCT patients from acute GvHD by expanding T reg cells via selective TNFR2 activation in vivo.},

  abstract  = {Background: Preservation of kidney function in newly diagnosed (ND) multiple myeloma (MM) helps to prevent excess toxicity. Patients (pts) from two prospective trials were analyzed, provided postinduction (PInd) restaging was performed. Pts received three cycles with bortezomib (btz), cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (dex; VCD) or btz, lenalidomide (len), and dex (VRd) or len, adriamycin, and dex (RAD). The minimum required estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was >30 mL/min. We analyzed the percent change of the renal function using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-defined categories. Results: Seven hundred and seventy-two patients were eligible. Three hundred and fifty-six received VCD, 214 VRd, and 202 RAD. VCD patients had the best baseline eGFR. The proportion of pts with eGFR <45 mL/min decreased from 7.3\% at baseline to 1.9\% PInd (p < 0.0001). Thirty-seven point one percent of VCD versus 49\% of VRd patients had a decrease of GFR (p = 0.0872). IMWG-defined "renal complete response (CRrenal)" was achieved in 17/25 (68\%) pts after VCD, 12/19 (63\%) after RAD, and 14/27 (52\%) after VRd (p = 0.4747). Conclusions: Analyzing a large and representative newly diagnosed myeloma (NDMM) group, we found no difference in CRrenal that occurred independently from the myeloma response across the three regimens. A trend towards deterioration of the renal function with VRd versus VCD may be explained by a better pretreatment "renal fitness" in the latter group.},

  abstract  = {HINTERGRUND Die Pr{\"a}valenz einer zum Operationszeitpunkt einer Aortenklappenstenose begleitend vorliegenden mindestens moderaten Mitralklappeninsuffizienz ist hoch, dennoch gibt es in diesem Fall bisher keine evidenzbasierten Handlungsempfehlungen f{\"u}r die Entscheidung {\"u}ber eine operative oder konservative Behandlung der moderaten MI. Dies liegt unter anderem daran, dass die Frage zum prognostischen Wert der MI bisher nicht gekl{\"a}rt werden konnte. METHODEN Unsere retrospektive Studie untersuchte 1017 Patient:innen mit hochgradiger AS, die in unserem Haus einen chirurgischen oder kathetergest{\"u}tzten Aortenklappenersatz erhielten (20\% SAVR, 14,3\% SAVR + CABG, 65,8\% TAVI). Es erfolgte eine multivariate Analyse von klinischen und echokardiographischen Daten sowie der Gesamtmortalit{\"a}t. ERGEBNISSE Eine moderate bis hochgradige MI konnte bei 183 Patient:innen (18\%) festgestellt werden, davon hatten 155 Patient:innen (15,2\%) eine moderate MI. In der multivariaten Cox- Regression blieb die moderate MI im Vergleich zu einer maximal milden MI unter Adjustierung f{\"u}r Alter, Geschlecht, BMI, Vorhofflimmern und Dyslipid{\"a}mie unabh{\"a}ngig mit einem erh{\"o}hten Gesamtmortalit{\"a}tsrisiko assoziiert (HR=1,341, 95\% CI 1,031- 1,746, p=0,029). Eine nach den verschiedenen Aortenklappenersatzverfahren stratifizierte Subgruppen-Analyse konnte zeigen, dass die mindestens moderate MI nur in der Subgruppe mit Kombination von SAVR und CABG eine unabh{\"a}ngige Determinante der Gesamtmortalit{\"a}t blieb (HR=2,597, 95\% CI 1,105- 6,105, p=0,029). Weiterhin war die moderate MI auch in der Subgruppe mit normalem Albuminspiegel eine unabh{\"a}ngige Determinante der Gesamtmortalit{\"a}t (HR=1,719, p=0.012), nicht jedoch wenn das Albumin ≤4,2 g/dl lag. SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG In unserer Studie ist eine begleitende moderate MI unabh{\"a}ngig mit einer erh{\"o}hten Gesamtmortalit{\"a}t assoziiert. Der prognostische Wert der MI variiert dabei mit der OP- Prozedur und dem Albuminspiegel. F{\"u}r eine klare Aussage bez{\"u}glich des prognostischen Werts bedarf es jedoch weiterer idealerweise prospektiver Studien.},
