T1 - A case report of a solitary pancreatic metastasis of an adrenocortical carcinoma JF - BMC Surgery N2 - Background Solitary metastases to the pancreas are rare. Therefore the value of resection in curative intention remains unclear. In the literature there are several promising reports about resection of solitary metastasis to the pancreas mainly of renal origin. Case presentation Here we report for the first time on the surgical therapy of a 1.5 cm solitary pancreatic metastasis of an adrenocortical carcinoma. The metastasis occurred almost 6 years after resection of the primary tumor. A partial pancreatoduodenectomy was performed and postoperatively adjuvant mitotane treatment was initiated. During the follow-up of 3 years after surgery no evidence of tumor recurrence occurred. Conclusion Resection of pancreatic tumors should be considered, even if the mass is suspicious for metastatic disease including recurrence of adrenocortical cancer.

T1 - A Human Recombinant Autoantibody-Based Immunotoxin Specific for the Fetal Acetylcholine Receptor Inhibits Rhabdomyosarcoma Growth In Vitro and in a Murine Transplantation Model [Research Article] N2 - Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common malignant soft tissue tumor in children and is highly resistant to all forms of treatment currently available once metastasis or relapse has commenced. As it has recently been determined that the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) γ-subunit, which defines the fetal AChR (fAChR) isoform, is almost exclusively expressed in RMS post partum, we recombinantly fused a single chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from a fully human anti-fAChR Fab-fragment to Pseudomonas exotoxin A to generate an anti-fAChR immunotoxin (scFv35-ETA).While scFv35-ETA had no damaging effect on fAChR-negative control cell lines, it killed human embryonic and alveolar RMS cell lines in vitro and delayed RMS development in a murine transplantation model. These results indicate that scFv35-ETA may be a valuable new therapeutic tool as well as a relevant step towards the development of a fully human immunotoxin directed against RMS. Moreover, as approximately 20% of metastatic malignant melanomas (MMs) display rhabdoid features including the expression of fAChR, the immunotoxin we developed may also prove to be of significant use in the treatment of these more common and most often fatal neoplasms.

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.

T1 - ABCB5 Identifies Immunoregulatory Dermal Cells JF - Cell Reports N2 - Cell-based strategies represent a new frontier in the treatment of immune-mediated disorders. However, the paucity of markers for isolation of molecularly defined immunomodulatory cell populations poses a barrier to this field. Here, we show that ATP-binding cassette member B5 (ABCB5) identifies dermal immunoregulatory cells (DIRCs) capable of exerting therapeutic immunoregulatory functions through engagement of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1). Purified Abcb5\(^+\) DIRCs suppressed T cell proliferation, evaded immune rejection, homed to recipient immune tissues, and induced Tregs in vivo. In fully major-histocompatibility-complex-mismatched cardiac allotransplantation models, allogeneic DIRCs significantly prolonged allograft survival. Blockade of DIRC-expressed PD-1 reversed the inhibitory effects of DIRCs on T cell activation, inhibited DIRC-dependent Treg induction, and attenuated DIRC-induced prolongation of cardiac allograft survival, indicating that DIRC immunoregulatory function is mediated, at least in part, through PD-1. Our results identify ABCB5\(^+\) DIRCs as a distinct immunoregulatory cell population and suggest promising roles of this expandable cell subset in cellular immunotherapy.

Pentaglobin® wurde hierbei zusammen mit einer im klinischen Alltag üblichen Antibiotikatherapie intravenös verabreicht. Die Kontrollgruppe erhielt ein Placebo bestehend aus Humanalbumin. Primäre Endpunkte waren der postoperative kumulierte Summenwert der SIRS-Kriterien nach Bone bis zum 23. postoperativen Tag sowie der postoperative kumulierte Summenwert des SOFA-Score bis zum 28. postoperativen Tag. Ergebnisse wurden durch Anwendung verschiedener Scores überprüft. Insgesamt konnten 260 Patienten mit Peritonitis an 16 Studienzentren eingeschlossen werden. 258 Patienten kamen in die Safety-Analyse sowie 255 in die Intentio-To-Treat Analyse. Bei den primären Endpunkten konnte eine Tendenz für die Wirksamkeit von Pentaglobin® bei septischen Patienten gezeigt werden. Insbesondere die Patienten mit einem höheren MPI-Wert scheinen mehr von einer Therapie mit Pentaglobin® profitiert zu haben. Eine statistische Signifikanz konnte jedoch nicht nachgewiesen werden. Bei den sekundären Endpunkten zeigte sich eine statistisch signifikant kürzere Therapie mit Katecholaminen in der Pentaglobin®-Gruppe. Weiterhin fanden sich statistisch signifikante Unterschiede des IL-2-Rezeptors sowie des TNF-1-Rezeptors im Studienverlauf zwischen der Pentaglobin®- und der Placebo-Gruppe. Bei der Überprüfung der Verträglichkeit der Studienmedikation fanden sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede. N2 - The aim of the present clinical trial was to show a therapeutic effect of Pentaglobin® under concomitant administration of antibiotics in patients with beginning peritoneal infections. The study was conducted as a placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicentre and prospective trial of clinical phase IV. The patients were allocated to the two treatment groups (Pentaglobin®/placebo) by randomisation. The primary efficacy parameters were the post-operative cumulative sum score of the SIRS criteria according to Bone until Day 23 and the post-operative cumulative Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) sum score until Day 28. In total 260 patients with beginning intraabdominell infection in 16 study centres were included in the study. 258 patients were included in the safety analyses and 255 in the Intention-to-treat analyses. In conclusion, the efficacy results in this study showed a tendency in favour of Pentaglobin® compared to placebo regarding the primary efficacy parameters cumulative SIRS score and cumulative SOFA score that were lower in the Pentaglobin® group than in the placebo group, especially in patients with a more severe peritonitis. The differences between Pentaglobin® and placebo in SIRS and SOFA score were not statistically significant, but patients in the Pentaglobin® group had a lower mean TISS-28 score, a shorter duration of fever, a shorter duration of ICU treatment and artificial ventilation and the duration of treatment with catecholamines was significantly shorter in the Pentaglobin® group. Regarding laboratory parameters, the inflammatory parameters decreased more in the Pentaglobin® group than in the placebo group (with significant differences in favour of Pentaglobin® for IL-2R and TNF-R1) while the significant differences in favour of Pentaglobin® for IgM, IgA, IgG were mainly caused by the administration of the intravenous immunoglobulin preparation (with significant differences in favour of Pentaglobin® for IgM, IgA, IgG). The safety data showed that Pentaglobin® and placebo were equally safe and well tolerated.
