  abstract  = {Background: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of antimicrobial stewardship interventions on surgical antibiotic prescription behavior in the management of non-elective surgical intra-abdominal infections, focusing on postoperative antibiotic use, including the appropriateness of indications. Methods: A single-center quality improvement study with retrospective evaluation of the impact of antimicrobial stewardship measures on optimizing antibacterial use in intra-abdominal infections requiring emergency surgery was performed. The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Germany from January 1, 2016, to January 30, 2020, three years after putting a set of antimicrobial stewardship standards into effect. Results: 767 patients were analyzed (n = 495 in 2016 and 2017, the baseline period; n = 272 in 2018, the antimicrobial stewardship period). The total days of therapy per 100 patient days declined from 47.0 to 42.2 days (p = 0.035). The rate of patients receiving postoperative therapy decreased from 56.8\% to 45.2\% (p = 0.002), comparing both periods. There was a significant decline in the rate of inappropriate indications (17.4\% to 8.1 \%, p = 0.015) as well as a significant change from broad-spectrum to narrow-spectrum antibiotic use (28.8\% to 6.5\%, p ≤ 0.001) for postoperative therapy. The significant decline in antibiotic use did not affect either clinical outcomes or the rate of postoperative wound complications. Conclusions: Postoperative antibiotic use for intra-abdominal infections could be significantly reduced by antimicrobial stewardship interventions. The identification of inappropriate indications remains a key target for antimicrobial stewardship programs.},

  abstract  = {Deeper understanding of mold-induced cytokine signatures could promote advances in the diagnosis and treatment of invasive mycoses and mold-associated hypersensitivity syndromes. Currently, most T-cellular immunoassays in medical mycology require the isolation of mononuclear cells and have limited robustness and practicability, hampering their broader applicability in clinical practice. Therefore, we developed a simple, cost-efficient whole blood (WB) assay with dual α-CD28 and α-CD49d co-stimulation to quantify cytokine secretion in response to Aspergillus fumigatus antigens. Dual co-stimulation strongly enhanced A. fumigatus-induced release of T-cellular signature cytokines detectable by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or a multiplex cytokine assay. Furthermore, T-cell-dependent activation and cytokine response of innate immune cells was captured by the assay. The protocol consistently showed little technical variation and high robustness to pre-analytic delays of up to 8 h. Stimulation with an A. fumigatus lysate elicited at least 7-fold greater median concentrations of key T-helper cell signature cytokines, including IL-17 and the type 2 T-helper cell cytokines IL-4 and IL-5 in WB samples from patients with Aspergillus-associated lung pathologies versus patients with non-mold-related lung diseases, suggesting high discriminatory power of the assay. These results position WB-ELISA with dual co-stimulation as a simple, accurate, and robust immunoassay for translational applications, encouraging further evaluation as a platform to monitor host immunity to opportunistic pathogens.},

  abstract  = {Background Lipoblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm of infancy that most commonly occurs on the extremities and trunk but can arise at variable sites of the body. Retroperitoneal lipoblastomas are particularly rare but can grow to enormous size, and preoperative diagnosis is difficult with diverse, mostly malignant differential diagnoses that would lead to aggressive therapy. Since lipoblastoma is a benign tumor that has an excellent prognosis after resection, correct diagnosis is crucial. Case presentation A case of a large retroperitoneal tumor of a 24-month old infant that was clinically suspicious of a malignant tumor is presented. Due to proximity to the right kidney, clinically most probably a nephroblastoma or clear cell sarcoma of the kidney was suspected. Radiological findings were ambiguous. Therefore, the mass was biopsied, and histology revealed an adipocytic lesion. Although mostly composed of mature adipocytes, in view of the age of the patient, the differential diagnosis of a (maturing) lipoblastoma was raised, which was supported by molecular analysis demonstrating a HAS2-PLAG1 fusion. The tumor was completely resected, and further histopathological workup led to the final diagnosis of a 13 cm large retroperitoneal maturing lipoblastoma. The child recovered promptly from surgery and showed no evidence of recurrence so far. Conclusion Although rare, lipoblastoma should be included in the differential diagnoses of retroperitoneal tumors in infants and children, and molecular diagnostic approaches could be a helpful diagnostic adjunct in challenging cases.},

  abstract  = {The human gastrointestinal tract is in constant contact with microbial stimuli. Its barriers have to ensure co-existence with the commensal bacteria, while enabling surveillance of intruding pathogens. At the centre of the interaction lies the epithelial layer, which marks the boundaries of the body. It is equipped with a multitude of different innate immune sensors, such as Toll-like receptors, to mount inflammatory responses to microbes. Dysfunction of this intricate system results in inflammation-associated pathologies, such as inflammatory bowel disease. However, the complexity of the cellular interactions, their molecular basis and their development remains poorly understood. In recent years, stem cell-derived organoids have gained increasing attention as promising models for both development and a broad range of pathologies, including infectious diseases. In addition, organoids enable the study of epithelial innate immunity in vitro. In this review, we focus on the gastrointestinal epithelial barrier and its regional organization to discuss innate immune sensing and development.},

Methods All patients with leakages of the upper GI tract that were treated with endoscopic negative pressure therapy at our institution from 2012-2021 were analyzed. Patients with large defects (>30 mm) as an indicator of complex treatment were compared to patients with smaller defects (control group). Results Ninety-two patients with postoperative anastomotic or staplerline leakages were identified, of whom 20 (21.7\%) had large defects. Compared to the control group, these patients required prolonged therapy (42 vs. 14 days, p < 0.001) and hospital stay (63 vs. 26 days, p < 0.001) and developed significantly more septic complications (40 vs. 17.6\%, p = 0.027.) which often necessitated additional endoscopic and/or surgical/interventional treatments (45 vs. 17.4\%, p = 0.007.) Nevertheless, a resolution of leakages was achieved in 80\% of patients with large defects, which was similar compared to the control group (p = 0.42). Multiple leakages, especially on the opposite side, along with other local unfavorable conditions, such as foreign material mass, limited access to the defect or extensive necrosis occurred significantly more often in cases with large defects (p < 0.001). Conclusions Overall, our study confirms that EVT for leakages even from large defects of the upper GI tract is feasible in most cases but comes with significant technical challenges.},

This study aimed to analyze postoperative inflammation status, short-term outcome and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic left hemicolectomy. All consecutive patients who received minimal-invasive left hemicolectomy at the Department of Surgery I at the University Hospital of Wuerzburg in 2021 were prospectively included. Importantly, no patient selection for either procedure was carried out. The robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic approaches were compared head to head for postoperative short-term outcomes as well as cost-effectiveness. A total of 61 patients were included, with 26 patients having received a robotic-assisted approach. Baseline characteristics did not differ among the groups. Patients receiving a robotic-assisted approach had a significantly decreased length of hospital stay as well as lower rates of complications in comparison to patients who received laparoscopic surgery (n = 35). In addition, C-reactive protein as a marker of systemic stress response was significantly reduced postoperatively in patients who were operated on in a robotic-assisted manner. Consequently, robotic-assisted surgery could be performed in a cost-effective manner. Thus, robotic-assisted left hemicolectomy represents a safe and cost-effective procedure and might improve patient outcomes in comparison to laparoscopic surgery.},

  abstract  = {CD137 und CD137L stellen ein Rezeptor-Liganden-Paar dar, welches auf vielen Immunzellen exprimiert wird und eine wichtige Rolle im Rahmen der Immunstimulation spielt. CD137L fungiert jedoch nicht nur als Ligand sondern auch als Rezeptor und vermittelt als ein solcher Signale in die ihn exprimierende Zelle. Neben seinem Vorkommen auf Immunzellen wird CD137L auch von einigen Tumorzellen exprimiert, unter anderem auch auf denen des Kolonkarzinoms. In dieser Tumorentit{\"a}t korreliert eine hohe CD137L-Expression mit dem Auftreten von Fernmetastasen und einer insgesamt schlechteren Prognose. Die genaue Rolle von CD137L im Kolonkarzinom ist bislang kaum erforscht. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden daher die Auswirkungen einer CD137L-Aktivierung auf die Proliferation sowie die Proteinexpression und -sekretion von Kolonkarzinomzellen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse deuten erstmals darauf hin, dass die CD137L-Stimulation in vitro die Proliferation der entarteten Zellen reduziert und die Expression bzw. Sekretion der Proteine Vimentin, TLR7, VEGF und PDGF steigert. Hieraus wird geschlossen, dass eine Stimulation des von den Kolonkarzinomzellen exprimierten CD137L dazu f{\"u}hrt, dass sich der Ph{\"a}notyp der Tumorzellen von einem epithelialen in Richtung eines mesenchymalen Zelltyps ver{\"a}ndert. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus werden vermehrt Proteine exprimiert und sezerniert, welche {\"u}ber unterschiedliche Signalwege an der Invasion und Migration der entarteten Zellen beteiligt sind. Folglich l{\"a}sst sich annehmen, dass CD137L eine entscheidende Rolle im Metastasierungsprozess von humanen Kolonkarzinomzellen spielt. Sollte sich dies in weiterf{\"u}hrenden Untersuchungen best{\"a}tigen, k{\"o}nnte eine pharmazeutische Beeinflussung der beteiligten Signalwege m{\"o}glicherweise die Prognose von an Kolonkarzinomen erkrankten Patient:innen deutlich verbessern.},

The aim of this study was to assess, at the nationwide level, in-hospital mortality, and failure to rescue in geriatric patients (≥ 80 years old) with colorectal cancer arising from postoperative complications. Methods All patients receiving surgery for colorectal cancer in Germany between 2012 and 2018 were identified in a nationwide database. Association between age and in-hospital mortality following surgery and failure to rescue, defined as death after complication, were determined in univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Three lakh twenty-eight thousands two hundred and ninety patients with colorectal cancer were included of whom 77,287 were 80 years or older. With increasing age, a significant relative increase in right hemicolectomy was observed. In general, these patients had more comorbid conditions and higher frailty. In-hospital mortality following colorectal cancer surgery was 4.9\% but geriatric patients displayed a significantly higher postoperative in-hospital mortality of 10.6\%. The overall postoperative complication rate as well as failure to rescue increased with age. In contrast, surgical site infection (SSI) and anastomotic leakage (AL) did not increase in geriatric patients, whereas the associated mortality increased disproportionately (13.3\% for SSI and 29.9\% mortality for patients with AI, both p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis adjusting for confounders showed that geriatric patients had almost five-times higher odds for death after surgery than the baseline age group below 60 (OR 4.86; 95\%CI [4.45-5.53], p < 0.001). Conclusion Geriatric patients have higher mortality after colorectal cancer surgery. This may be partly due to higher frailty and disproportionately higher rates of failure to rescue arising from postoperative complications.},

All adrenal surgeries (defined by OPS codes) of patients between the age 0 and 21 years in Germany were included. Results A total of 523 patient records were identified. The mean age was 8.6 ± 7.7 years and 262 patients were female (50.1\%). The majority of patients were between 0 and 5 years old (52\% overall), while 11.1\% were between 6 and 11 and 38.8\% older than 12 years. The most common diagnoses were malignant neoplasms of the adrenal gland (56\%, mostly neuroblastoma) with the majority being younger than 5 years. Benign neoplasms in the adrenal gland (D350) account for 29\% of all cases with the majority of affected patients being 12 years or older. 15\% were not defined regarding tumor behavior. Overall complication rate was 27\% with a clear higher complication rate in resection for malignant neoplasia of the adrenal gland. Bleeding occurrence and transfusions are the main complications, followed by the necessary of relaparotomy. There was an uneven patient distribution between hospital tertiles (low volume, medium and high volume tertile). While 164 patients received surgery in 85 different "low volume" hospitals (0.2 cases per hospital per year), 205 patients received surgery in 8 different "high volume" hospitals (2.8 cases per hospital per year; p<0.001). Patients in high volume centers were significant younger, had more extended resections and more often malignant neoplasia. In multivariable analysis younger age, extended resections and open procedures were independent predictors for occurrence of postoperative complications. Conclusion Overall complication rate of adrenalectomies in the pediatric population in Germany is low, demonstrating good therapeutic quality. Our analysis revealed a very uneven distribution of patient volume among hospitals.},

  abstract  = {Oncogenic signaling in melanocytes results in oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), a stable cell-cycle arrest frequently characterized by a bi-or multinuclear phenotype that is considered as a barrier to cancer progression. However, the long-sustained conviction that senescence is a truly irreversible process has recently been challenged. Still, it is not known whether cells driven into OIS can progress to cancer and thereby pose a potential threat. Here, we show that prolonged expression of the melanoma oncogene N-RAS\(^{61K}\) in pigment cells overcomes OIS by triggering the emergence of tumor-initiating mononucleated stem-like cells from senescent cells. This progeny is dedifferentiated, highly proliferative, anoikis-resistant and induces fast growing, metastatic tumors. Our data describe that differentiated cells, which are driven into senescence by an oncogene, use this senescence state as trigger for tumor transformation, giving rise to highly aggressive tumor-initiating cells. These observations provide the first experimental in vitro evidence for the evasion of OIS on the cellular level and ensuing transformation.},

  abstract  = {Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease targeting the desmosomal proteins desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and Dsg3. Recently, a genetic variant of the Suppression of tumorigenicity 18 (ST18) promoter was reported to cause ST18 up-regulation, associated with pemphigus vulgaris (PV)-IgG-mediated increase in cytokine secretion and more prominent loss of keratinocyte cohesion. Here we tested the effects of PV-IgG and the pathogenic pemphigus mouse anti-Dsg3 antibody AK23 on cytokine secretion and ERK activity in human keratinocytes dependent on ST18 expression. Without ST18 overexpression, both PV-IgG and AK23 induced loss of keratinocyte cohesion which was accompanied by prominent fragmentation of Dsg3 immunostaining along cell borders. In contrast, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 alpha, IL-6, TNF alpha, and IFN-gamma was not altered significantly in both HaCaT and primary NHEK cells. These experiments indicate that cytokine expression is not strictly required for loss of keratinocyte cohesion. Upon ST18 overexpression, fragmentation of cell monolayers increased significantly in response to autoantibody incubation. Furthermore, production of IL-1 alpha and IL-6 was enhanced in some experiments but not in others whereas release of TNF-alpha dropped significantly upon PV-IgG application in both EV- and ST18-transfected HaCaT cells. Additionally, in NHEK, application of PV-IgG but not of AK23 significantly increased ERK activity. In contrast, ST18 overexpression in HaCaT cells augmented ERK activation in response to both c-IgG and AK23 but not PV-IgG. Because inhibition of ERK by U0126 abolished PV-IgG- and AK23-induced loss of cell cohesion in ST18-expressing cells, we conclude that autoantibody-induced ERK activation was relevant in this scenario. In summary, similar to the situation in PV patients carrying ST18 polymorphism, overexpression of ST18 enhanced keratinocyte susceptibility to autoantibody-induced loss of cell adhesion, which may be caused in part by enhanced ERK signaling.},

  abstract  = {Background: The hypothalamus is an important brain region for the regulation of energy balance. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery and gut hormone-based treatments are known to reduce body weight, but their effects on hypothalamic gene expression and signaling pathways are poorly studied. Methods: Diet-induced obese male Wistar rats were randomized into the following groups: RYGB, sham operation, sham + body weight-matched (BWM) to the RYGB group, osmotic minipump delivering PYY3-36 (0.1 mg/kg/day), liraglutide s.c. (0.4 mg/kg/day), PYY3-36 + liraglutide, and saline. All groups (except BWM) were kept on a free choice of high- and low-fat diets. Four weeks after interventions, hypothalami were collected for RNA sequencing. Results: While rats in the RYGB, BWM, and PYY3-36 + liraglutide groups had comparable reductions in body weight, only RYGB and BWM treatment had a major impact on hypothalamic gene expression. In these groups, hypothalamic leptin receptor expression as well as the JAK-STAT, PI3K-Akt, and AMPK signaling pathways were upregulated. No significant changes could be detected in PYY3-36 + liraglutide-, liraglutide-, and PYY-treated groups. Conclusions: Despite causing similar body weight changes compared to RYGB and BWM, PYY3-36 + liraglutide treatment does not impact hypothalamic gene expression. Whether this striking difference is favorable or unfavorable to metabolic health in the long term requires further investigation.},

  abstract  = {In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Effekte des neurotrophen Faktors GDNF auf die Struktur und Funktion der intestinalen Epithelbarriere untersucht. Zellkulturen mit Caco2 beziehungsweise HT29B6 dienten als Modellsysteme f{\"u}r die Epithelschicht der Darmschleimhaut. Transwellsassays und TER-Messungen mittels ECIS-Ger{\"a}t fungierten als zentrale Untersuchungsmethoden zur Evaluation der funktionellen Barriereeigenschaft der Zellmonolayer. Die morphologischen und quantitativen Ver{\"a}nderungen von Zelljunktionsproteinen wurden mittels indirekter Immunfluoreszenzf{\"a}rbungen beziehungsweise Western Blot-Untersuchungen dargestellt. Um Migration- und Proliferationsverhalten nach Verletzung des Zellmonolayers zu untersuchen, f{\"u}hrten wir in vitro-Scratch-Assays durch. Zun{\"a}chst wurde best{\"a}tigt, dass intestinale Epithelzellen die GDNF-Rezeptoren GFRα1, GFRα2 und RET exprimieren. Es zeigte sich sowohl in Immunf{\"a}rbungen gegen Junktionsproteine als auch in Permeabilit{\"a}tsmessungen, dass GDNF zu einer verst{\"a}rkten Differenzierung der intestinalen Epithelbarriere f{\"u}hrt. In Inhibitions- und Aktivierungsexperimenten mit verschiedenen Mediatoren wurde als zugrunde liegender Mechanismus die Inaktiverung der p38 MAPK durch GDNF identifiziert. Weiterhin zeigten Versuche mit epithelialen Wundheilungsassays, dass GDNF, {\"u}ber eine cAMP/PKA-abh{\"a}ngige Induktion der Proliferation, zu einer Verbesserung der Wundheilung f{\"u}hrt. In Immunf{\"a}rbungen und Western Blot-Analysen wurde beobachtet, dass auch intestinale Epithelzelllinien in der Lage sind GDNF zu synthetisieren. Zusammenfassend konnte in der vorliegenden Arbeit erstmals gezeigt werden, dass der neurotrophe Faktor GDNF direkt auf die Differenzierung und Proliferation von kultivierten Enterozyten Einfluss nehmen kann. Die Tatsache, dass intestinale Epithelzellen selbst GDNF synthetisieren und sezernieren k{\"o}nnen, weist auf einen neuen autokrinen- oder parakrinen Wirkmechanismus des neurotrophen Faktors hin.},

  abstract  = {Die Exstirpation erkrankter Nebenschilddr{\"u}sen (NSD) ist die einzige kurative Therapie des prim{\"a}ren Hyperparathyreoidismus (pHPT). Die pr{\"a}operative Detektion der dem pHPT zugrunde liegenden NSD-Adenome durch eine ad{\"a}quate Lokalisationsdiagnostik stellt eine wichtige S{\"a}ule bei der Operationsplanung dar. Angesichts der umfangreichen diagnostischen M{\"o}glichkeiten ist noch nicht abschließend beantwortet, wie viel und welche Diagnostik mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit zur erfolgreichen Lokalisation von NSD-Adenomen f{\"u}hrt und ob/wie diese den perioperativen Verlauf beeinflusst. Die Beantwortung dieser Fragen war das Hauptziel der vorliegenden Arbeit. Es handelt sich um eine monozentrische, retrospektive Datenanalyse anhand des Kollektivs des Universit{\"a}tsklinikums W{\"u}rzburg (UKW) der Jahre 2005 bis 2017. Nach Datenextraktion aller Patienten/Patientinnen mit Hyperparathyreoidismus aus dem Dokumentationssystem des UKW erfolgten die deskriptiven und statistischen Auswertungen mittels Excel und SPSS. Insgesamt wurden im untersuchten Zeitraum 467 Patienten/Patientinnen aufgrund eines pHPT operiert. NSD-Sono und NSD-Szinti waren die am h{\"a}ufigsten durchgef{\"u}hrten Lokalisationsdiagnostika mit Sensitivit{\"a}ten von 61,5 \% bzw. 66,3 \% f{\"u}r die Seite. Bei der Etagen-Blutentnahme lag die Sensitivit{\"a}t bei 100 \%; bei der MRT bei 47,4 \% und bei der 11Kohlenstoff-Methionin-Positronenemissionstomographie/Computertomographie (11C-Methionin-PET/CT) bei 58,8 \%. Durch zus{\"a}tzliche Diagnostik konnte nicht grunds{\"a}tzlich eine Erh{\"o}hung der Treffsicherheit erreicht werden. Die Analyse der perioperativen Parameter zeigte, dass das Alter der Operierten positiv mit der Operationsdauer, der Krankenhausaufenthaltsdauer und dem Auftreten postoperativer Hypocalc{\"a}mien korrelierte. Die Einnahme eines Thrombozytenaggregationshemmers f{\"u}hrte zu einer verl{\"a}ngerten Krankenhausaufenthaltsdauer. Die therapeutische Antikoagulation war ein Risikofaktor in Bezug auf l{\"a}ngere OP-Dauern und das Auftreten von Nachblutungen. Eine zus{\"a}tzlich zur Parathyreoidektomie durchgef{\"u}hrte Sanierung der Schilddr{\"u}se war mit einer erh{\"o}hten Rate an postoperativen Hypocalc{\"a}mien vergesellschaftet. Zusammenfassend zeigen die vorliegenden Daten, dass nach initial vermeintlich erfolgreicher Detektion eines NSD-Adenoms mit NSD-Sono oder NSD-Szinti eine weiterf{\"u}hrende Lokalisationsdiagnostik nicht sinnvoll ist. Nach initial erfolgloser NSD-Sono oder NSD-Szinti dagegen ist die Durchf{\"u}hrung einer 11C-Methionin-PET/CT zu erw{\"a}gen.},
