Introduction: The German PID-NET registry was founded in 2009, serving as the first national registry of patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) in Germany. It is part of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) registry. The primary purpose of the registry is to gather data on the epidemiology, diagnostic delay, diagnosis, and treatment of PIDs.
Methods: Clinical and laboratory data was collected from 2,453 patients from 36 German PID centres in an online registry. Data was analysed with the software Stata® and Excel.
Results: The minimum prevalence of PID in Germany is 2.72 per 100,000 inhabitants. Among patients aged 1–25, there was a clear predominance of males. The median age of living patients ranged between 7 and 40 years, depending on the respective PID. Predominantly antibody disorders were the most prevalent group with 57% of all 2,453 PID patients (including 728 CVID patients). A gene defect was identified in 36% of patients. Familial cases were observed in 21% of patients. The age of onset for presenting symptoms ranged from birth to late adulthood (range 0–88 years). Presenting symptoms comprised infections (74%) and immune dysregulation (22%). Ninety-three patients were diagnosed without prior clinical symptoms. Regarding the general and clinical diagnostic delay, no PID had undergone a slight decrease within the last decade. However, both, SCID and hyper IgE- syndrome showed a substantial improvement in shortening the time between onset of symptoms and genetic diagnosis. Regarding treatment, 49% of all patients received immunoglobulin G (IgG) substitution (70%—subcutaneous; 29%—intravenous; 1%—unknown). Three-hundred patients underwent at least one hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Five patients had gene therapy.
Conclusion: The German PID-NET registry is a precious tool for physicians, researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, politicians, and ultimately the patients, for whom the outcomes will eventually lead to a more timely diagnosis and better treatment.
We present measurements of exclusive ensuremathπ+,0 and η production in pp reactions at 1.25GeV and 2.2GeV beam kinetic energy in hadron and dielectron channels. In the case of π+ and π0 , high-statistics invariant-mass and angular distributions are obtained within the HADES acceptance as well as acceptance-corrected distributions, which are compared to a resonance model. The sensitivity of the data to the yield and production angular distribution of Δ (1232) and higher-lying baryon resonances is shown, and an improved parameterization is proposed. The extracted cross-sections are of special interest in the case of pp → pp η , since controversial data exist at 2.0GeV; we find \ensuremathσ=0.142±0.022 mb. Using the dielectron channels, the π0 and η Dalitz decay signals are reconstructed with yields fully consistent with the hadronic channels. The electron invariant masses and acceptance-corrected helicity angle distributions are found in good agreement with model predictions.
Background: Non-clear cell renal cell cancers (nccRCC) are rare entities, and the optimal therapy in metastatic disease has still to be defined. Methods: In this small prospectively randomized phase IIa multicenter trial, we investigated temsirolimus (TEM) versus sunitinib (SUN) as first-line therapy in patients with metastatic nccRCC. The patients were randomized 1:1 to either TEM in a dose of 25 mg i.v. once a week or SUN with 50 mg p.o. daily for 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). In total, 22 patients were included with predominantly papillary RCC (16/22) followed by chromophobe RCC and others. Results: The male to female ratio was 16:6. The tumor control rate (CR + PR + SD) was 58% for TEM and 90% for SUN-treated patients. There was also a trend for improved PFS with 9.3 versus 13.2 months (HR 1.64; 95% CI 0.65–4.18) in favor of SUN. There was no trend for overall survival. Conclusions: Despite this trial had to be terminated earlier due to low recruitment, the results match the other studies published so far with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus and SUN, which show a trend in favor of SUN for ORR and PFS.
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) require the right composition of microRNAs (miR) for proper life-long balanced blood regeneration. Here we show a regulatory circuit that prevents excessive HSC self-renewal by upregulation of miR-193b upon self-renewal promoting thrombopoietin (TPO)-MPL-STAT5 signalling. In turn, miR-193b restricts cytokine signalling, by targeting the receptor tyrosine kinase c-KIT. We generated a miR-193b knockout mouse model to unravel the physiological function of miR-193b in haematopoiesis. MiR-193b−/− mice show a selective gradual enrichment of functional HSCs, which are fully competent in multilineage blood reconstitution upon transplantation. The absence of miR-193b causes an accelerated expansion of HSCs, without altering cell cycle or survival, but by decelerating differentiation. Conversely, ectopic miR-193b expression restricts long-term repopulating HSC expansion and blood reconstitution. MiR-193b-deficient haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased basal and cytokine-induced STAT5 and AKT signalling. This STAT5-induced microRNA provides a negative feedback for excessive signalling to restrict uncontrolled HSC expansion.
Zur quantitativen Plasmaproteinbestimmung sind die Immunnephelometrie und die Immunturbidimetrie häufig eingesetzte Bestimmungstechniken. Aufgrund der kürzeren Analysenzeit bei vergleichbarer oder besserer Präzision und Empfindlichkeit haben diese Techniken die radiale Immundiffusion in vielen Laboratorien ersetzt.
Die mechanisierte Plasmaproteinbestimmung erfolgt als Antigen-Antikörper-Reaktion entweder mit Proteinanalyzern oder mit klinisch-chemischen Analysensystemen, an denen normalerweise Enzyme und Substrate bestimmt werden.
Zwischen den verschiedenen Plasmaproteinen im Serum besteht ein bis zu 10.OOOfacher Konzentrationsunterschied und die biologische Varianz des einzelnen Plasmaproteins ist breit Damit die Plasmaproteine mit hoher analytischer Sensitivität über einen weiten Konzentrationsbereich, mit guter Präzision und der erforderlichen Richtigkeit mechanisiert bestimmt werden können, ist eine gute Adaption des Immunreagenzes auf das mechanisierte Analysensystem erforderlich. Diese Übersicht soll dazu Grundlagen vermitteln.
Die Entzündung ist eine Folge von Reaktionen mit der Zielsetzung, die Ausbreitung einer Gewebeschädigung, oder eines Infektionserregers einzudämmen. Zelluläre und humorale Mechanismen interagieren dabei in einem komplexen Netzwerk. In diesem Übersichtsbeitrag zeigen wir die wichtigsten Wege des inflammatorischen Reaktionsgeschehens auf und diskutieren die Bedeutung von Laboratoriumsuntersuchungen für die Diagnostik und das Monitoring von Entzündungen.
Wesentliche Schritte im Ablauf der Entzündungsreaktion sind
- die Synthese von Prostaglandinen aus Arachidonsäure, die durch Phospholipasen A2 (PLA2)-katalysierte Hydrolyse aus Membranphospholipiden gebildet wird;
- Interaktionen zwischen Gefäßendothel und Leukozyten, die Leukozytenextravasation und die Freisetzung freier Sauerstoffradikale und von Elastase im Gewebe;
- die Bildung inflammatorischer Cytokine, ihr Effekt auf Entzündungszellen und ihre systemische Wirkung auf Organe;
- die Synthese von Akute-Phase-Proteinen, deren Plasmakonzentration bei Entzündung als Antwort auf eine Vielfalt von Schädigungen ansteigt.
Zur Diagnostik und Verlaufsbeurteilung entzündlicher Krankheiten hat die Bestimmung des C-reaktiven Proteins den höchsten Stellenwert. Die Elastase hat nur eine begrenzte Bedeutung. Die Bestimmung von PLA2, der 'inflammatorischen Cytokine TNFa, IL-1, IL-6 und des s!L-2R als generelle Entzündungsmarker kann in der Routinediagnostik noch nicht empfohlen werden. Eingehende klinische Untersuchungen zur diagnostischen Bedeutung müssen noch abgewartet werden.
Bedeutung der Retikulozytenbestimmung zur Differenzierung und Behandlungskontrolle der Anämie
(1994)
Die Retikulozytenbestimmung hat eine wesentliche Bedeutung in der Differenzierung und Behandlungskontrolle von Anämien. Dies insbesondere, seitdem die mikroskopische Retikulozytenzählung durch die Bestimmung mit automatisierten Blutzellzählgeräten abgelöst und somit die Retikulozytenzahl mit geringer Impräzision bestimmt werden kann. Somit ist es möglich, die Regeneration derErythropoese gut zu verfolgen. In der Differenzierung der Anämien hat die Retikulozytenbestimmung ihre wesentliche Bedeutung zur Unterscheidung der nprmozytären Anämie formen. Ist bei normozytärer Anämie die Retikulozytenzahl normal oder vermindert, muß eine Knochenmarkpunktion in Erwägung gezogen werden. Bei mikro- und makrozytären Anämien ist die Retikulozytenbestimmung weniger bedeutsam. Für die Behandlungskontrolle der Anämien kann die Retikulozytenzahl ein wichtiger Indikator sowohl für eine beginnende Regeneration der Erythropoese als auch für die erfolgreiche Behandlung einer die Erythrozytenlebenszeit verkürzenden Erkrankung sein.
Die Diagnostik der pathologischen Proteinurie ist im Wandel begriffen. Während zur Zeit noch der Streifentest und die Gesamteiweißbestimmung in der Proteindiagnostik von Nierenerkrankungen im Vordergrund stehen, gewinnt die quantitative Bestimmung von Plasmaproteinen im Harn eine gewisse Bedeutung. Ursachen sind, neben einer mangelnden diagnostischen und analytischen Sensitiv/tat und Spezifität des Streifentests und der Gesamteiweißbestimmungsmethoden, der technische Fortschritt in der mechanisierten immunnephelometrischen oder immunturbidimetrischen Analytik der Plasmaproteine im Harn.
Voraussetzung zur Diagnostik und Verlaufsbeurteilung des Krebses durch die Bestimmung von Tumormarkern ist eine gute Abstimmung zwischen dem klinisch bzw. praktisch tätigen Arzt und dem Labor. Für die Auswahl der Testkits und die Festlegung des Grenzwertes normal/pathologisch muß das Labor vom anfordernden Arzt wissen, ob die Tumormarkerbestimmung eingesetzt wird:
a) zur Verlaufsbeurteilung eines bekannten Krebses, also im Sinne der Longitudinalbeurteilung
b) im Rahmen der Tumordiagnostik, d. h. zur Transversalbeurteilung.
Zum effektiven Einsatz der Tumormarkerbestimmung für die Verlaufsbeurteilung sollte das Labor sicherstellen:
a) Verwendung eines Testkits hoher Nachweisempfindlichkeit
b) Keinen Wechsel des Testkits bei nicht standardisierten Markern vorzunehmen, ohne den anforderndenArzt in Kenntnis zu setzen
c) Patientenbezogenen Kumulativreport liefern, der die relativen Veränderungen zum Vorwert erkennen läßt
d) Aufbewahrung der jeweilig letzten Analysenprobe. Nochmalige Bestimmung mit der neuen Probe in dergleichen Analysenserie, falls der Analysenwert der neuen Probe ein „Ausreißer"zu sein scheint.
Im Rahmen der Tumordiagnostik kann bei symptomatischen Patienten die Bestimmung von AFP beim Leberzellkarzinom und von AFP und HCG bei Keimzelltumoren empfohlen werden. Andere Tumormarker sollten nur zur Diagnostik eingesetzt werden, wenn im Patientenkollektiv des anfordernden Arztes eine hohe Krankheitsprävalenz für den entsprechenden Krebs vorliegt In Kenntnis der Krankheitsprävalenz sollten Labor und anfordernder Arzt unter Auswahl einer optimalen Spezifität (noch vertretbare Zahl falsch positiver Ergebnisse), den Grenzwert normal/pathologisch für die Transversalbeurteilung festlegen.
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib is used as first‐line therapy in patients with metastasized renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), given in fixed‐dose regimens despite its high variability in pharmacokinetics (PKs). Interindividual variability of drug exposure may be responsible for differences in response. Therefore, dosing strategies based on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models may be useful to optimize treatment. Plasma concentrations of sunitinib, its active metabolite SU12662, and the soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptors sVEGFR‐2 and sVEGFR‐3, were measured in 26 patients with mRCC within the EuroTARGET project and 21 patients with metastasized colorectal cancer (mCRC) from the C‐II‐005 study. Based on these observations, PK/PD models with potential influence of genetic predictors were developed and linked to time‐to‐event (TTE) models. Baseline sVEGFR‐2 levels were associated with clinical outcome in patients with mRCC, whereas active drug PKs seemed to be more predictive in patients with mCRC. The models provide the basis of PK/PD‐guided strategies for the individualization of anti‐angiogenic therapies.
Poster presentation: Purpose of the study First-line HAART with tenofovir DF (TDF) and FTC in pivotal trials has been associated with high efficacy and good tolerability. However, real-life clinical practice often differs from clinical trials due to co-morbidities, co-infections, and less intensive clinical monitoring. To evaluate efficacy and safety of first-line HAART in a day-to-day setting, this Gilead-sponsored non-interventional cohort was established. Methods Between July 2005 and August 2006, 533 HIV-1 infected antiretroviral-naïve patients from 50 German centres enrolled in this non-interventional cohort. All patients were followed every 3 months for 3 years to monitor efficacy (viral load [VL], CD4), tolerability, renal safety, regimen changes and resistance profile. All patients received TDF+FTC as a single tablet (Truvada, TVD) in combination with either an NNRTI or PI/r as their first antiretroviral regimen. Summary of results As of June 2008, 2 years of therapy have been documented for 330/533 (62%) patients. At treatment initiation, 81% were male; median age was 39 years; clinical AIDS diagnosis was documented in 22%; 47% started therapy with CD4 <200 cells/mm3. TVD was combined with an NNRTI (43%) or a PI/r (57%). After 24 months, in an As-Treated (AT) analysis, 85% patients achieved a VL <50 copies/ml (VL <500 copies/ml: 97%), median CD4 count increased from 217 at baseline to 450 cells/mm3 (IQR: 325–608). Truvada showed a good safety profile; 76 adverse events (AEs) of any grade were reported in 66/533 patients (12%); six of these were judged serious. Fourteen (2.6%) patients discontinued TVD due to AEs. Renal abnormalities of any grade were reported in 10 patients (1.9%). Virological failure was documented in nine patients, of which eight were genotyped; M184V/I was detected in three, K65R in two patients. Conclusion During 2 years of follow-up, the overall safety of TVD was good; renal AEs of any grade were reported in 1.9% of patients. K65R was detected in two patients. First-line HAART with TVD plus an NNRTI or PI/r in clinical practice showed comparable efficacy to that observed in controlled clinical trials.
Wir haben einen kommerziell verfügbaren Test zur Bestimmung von Thyroxin (T4) am Analysensystem RA1000 auf seine Eignung in unserem Labor untersucht. Das Prinzip des Tests beruht auf einer immunturbidimetrischen Inhibitionstechnik, die besonders zur Messung niedriger T4-Konzentrationen geeignet ist Es wurde eine Präzision (in Serie, von Tag zu Tag) zwischen 2,6 und 4,6% (VK) ermittelt. Die Richtigkeit wurde untersucht an Patientenproben mit 2 Vergleichsmethoden und vergleichend zu den Sollwerten kommerziell verfügbarer Richtigkeitskontrollseren. Der Vergleich an Patientenproben ergab eine gute bis akzeptable Übereinstimmung, der Vergleich mit den Sollwerten von Richtigkeitskontrollseren zeigte in einigen Seren gewisse methodische Differenzen. Insgesamt ergaben unsere Untersuchungen, daß die immunturbidimetrische Inhibitionstechnik am HA-1000 eine schnelle und zuverlässige Bestimmung der T4-Konzentration ermöglicht.
The last decade has seen a sharp increase in the number of scientific publications describing physiological and pathological functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a collective term covering various subtypes of cell-released, membranous structures, called exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes, oncosomes, apoptotic bodies, and many other names. However, specific issues arise when working with these entities, whose size and amount often make them difficult to obtain as relatively pure preparations, and to characterize properly. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) proposed Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (“MISEV”) guidelines for the field in 2014. We now update these “MISEV2014” guidelines based on evolution of the collective knowledge in the last four years. An important point to consider is that ascribing a specific function to EVs in general, or to subtypes of EVs, requires reporting of specific information beyond mere description of function in a crude, potentially contaminated, and heterogeneous preparation. For example, claims that exosomes are endowed with exquisite and specific activities remain difficult to support experimentally, given our still limited knowledge of their specific molecular machineries of biogenesis and release, as compared with other biophysically similar EVs. The MISEV2018 guidelines include tables and outlines of suggested protocols and steps to follow to document specific EV-associated functional activities. Finally, a checklist is provided with summaries of key points.
A central motivation for the development of x-ray free-electron lasers has been the prospect of time-resolved single-molecule imaging with atomic resolution. Here, we show that x-ray photoelectron diffraction—where a photoelectron emitted after x-ray absorption illuminates the molecular structure from within—can be used to image the increase of the internuclear distance during the x-ray-induced fragmentation of an O2 molecule. By measuring the molecular-frame photoelectron emission patterns for a two-photon sequential K-shell ionization in coincidence with the fragment ions, and by sorting the data as a function of the measured kinetic energy release, we can resolve the elongation of the molecular bond by approximately 1.2 a.u. within the duration of the x-ray pulse. The experiment paves the road toward time-resolved pump-probe photoelectron diffraction imaging at high-repetition-rate x-ray free-electron lasers.
We present data on charged kaons (K±) and ϕ mesons in Au(1.23A GeV)+Au collisions. It is the first simultaneous measurement of K− and ϕ mesons in central heavy-ion collisions below a kinetic beam energy of 10A GeV. The ϕ/K− multiplicity ratio is found to be surprisingly high with a value of 0.52±0.16 and shows no dependence on the centrality of the collision. Consequently, the different slopes of the K+ and K− transverse-mass spectra can be explained solely by feed-down, which substantially softens the spectra of K− mesons. Hence, in contrast to the commonly adapted argumentation in literature, the different slopes do not necessarily imply diverging freeze-out temperatures of K+ and K− mesons caused by different couplings to baryons.
The knowledge of baryonic resonance properties and production cross sections plays an important role for the extraction and understanding of medium modifications of mesons in hot and/or dense nuclear matter. We present and discuss systematics on dielectron and strangeness production obtained with HADES on p+p, p+A and A+A collisions in the few GeV energy regime with respect to these resonances.
his contribution aims to give a basic overview of the latest results regarding the production of resonances in different collision systems. The results were extracted from experimental data collected with HADES that is a multipurpose detector located at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum, Darmstadt. The main points discussed here are: the properties of the strange resonances Λ(1405) and Σ(1385), the role of Δ’s as a source of pions in the final state, the production dynamics reflected in form of differential cross sections, and the role of the ϕ meson as a source for K− particles.
Many QCD based and phenomenological models predict changes of hadron properties in a strongly interacting environment. The results of these models differ significantly and the experimental determination of hadron properties in nuclear matter is essential. In this paper we present a review of selected physics results obtained at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH by HADES (High-Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer). The e+e− pair emission measured for proton and heavy-ion induced collisions is reported together with results on strangeness production. The future HADES activities at the planned FAIR facility are also discussed.
We present first data on sub-threshold production of Ks0 mesons and Λ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at sNN=2.4 GeV. We observe an universal 〈Apart〉 scaling of hadrons containing strangeness, independent of their corresponding production thresholds. Comparing the yields, their 〈Apart〉 scaling, and the shapes of the rapidity and the pt spectra to state-of-the-art transport model (UrQMD, HSD, IQMD) predictions, we find that none of them can simultaneously describe these observables with reasonable χ2 values.
We investigate identical pion HBT intensity interferometry in central Au+Au collisions at 1.23A GeV. High-statistics π−π− and π+π+ data are measured with HADES at SIS18/GSI. The radius parameters, derived from the correlation function depending on relative momenta in the longitudinally comoving system and parametrized as three-dimensional Gaussian distribution, are studied as function of transverse momentum. A substantial charge-sign difference of the source radii is found, particularly pronounced at low transverse momentum. The extracted source parameters agree well with a smooth extrapolation of the center-of-mass energy dependence established at higher energies, extending the corresponding excitation functions down towards a very low energy.
n this paper we report on the investigation of baryonic resonance production in proton-proton collisions at the kinetic energies of 1.25 GeV and 3.5 GeV, based on data measured with HADES. Exclusive channels npπ+ and ppπ0 as well as ppe+e− were studied simultaneously in the framework of a one-boson exchange model. The resonance cross sections were determined from the one-pion channels for Δ(1232) and N(1440) (1.25 GeV) as well as further Δ and N* resonances up to 2 GeV/c2 for the 3.5 GeV data. The data at 1.25 GeV energy were also analysed within the framework of the partial wave analysis together with the set of several other measurements at lower energies. The obtained solutions provided the evolution of resonance production with the beam energy, showing a sizeable non-resonant contribution but with still dominating contribution of Δ(1232)P33. In the case of 3.5 GeV data, the study of the ppe+e− channel gave the insight on the Dalitz decays of the baryon resonances and, in particular, on the electromagnetic transition form-factors in the time-like region. We show that the assumption of a constant electromagnetic transition form-factors leads to underestimation of the yield in the dielectron invariant mass spectrum below the vector mesons pole. On the other hand, a comparison with various transport models shows the important role of intermediate ρ production, though with a large model dependency. The exclusive channels analysis done by the HADES collaboration provides new stringent restrictions on the parameterizations used in the models.
The High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer HADES [1] is installed at the Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) accelerator facility in Darmstadt. It investigates dielectron emission and strangeness production in the 1-3 AGeV regime. A recent experiment series focusses on medium-modifications of light vector mesons in cold nuclear matter. In two runs, p+p and p+Nb reactions were investigated at 3.5 GeV beam energy; about 9·109 events have been registered. In contrast to other experiments the high acceptance of the HADES allows for a detailed analysis of electron pairs with low momenta relative to nuclear matter, where modifications of the spectral functions of vector mesons are predicted to be most prominent. Comparing these low momentum electron pairs to the reference measurement in the elementary p+p reaction, we find in fact a strong modification of the spectral distribution in the whole vector meson region.
New results on the differential cross section in deuteron-proton elastic scattering are obtained at the deuteron kinetic energy of 2.5 GeV with the HADES spectrometer. The angular range of 69° – 125° in the center of mass system is covered. The obtained results are compared with the relativistic multiple scattering model calculation using the CD-Bonn deuteron wave function. The data at fixed scattering angles in the c.m. are in qualitative agreement with the constituent counting rules prediction.
Das „Seralyzer®-System" (AMES) wird zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Bilirubinkonzentrationen in Erwachsenen- und Neugeborenenplasmen eingesetzt und mit konventionellen Methoden verglichen. Die Präzision in Serie an Humanplasma beträgt im Normalbereich 0,95-8,8896, im erhöhten Konzentrationsbereich 2,64-14,3%, an Kontrollseren 3,20-6,78%, am Neugeborenenplasma 8,60%. Für die Präzision von Tag zu Tag ergibt sich an Humanplasma im Gesamtbereich 10,5-15,3%, an Kalibratoren 4,35-6,17%, an Kontrollseren im Normalbereich 9,27-20,9%, im erhöhten Bereich 9,25-23,5%. Die Wiederfindung deklarierter Werte bei Kalibratoren und Kontrollseren ist befriedigend. Eine Linearität bis 20 mg/dl ist auch bei Neugeborenenplasma erreichbar. Die Speicherdauer der Kalibrierung beträgt mehr als 30 Tage. Die Grenzbedingungen der internen und externen Qualitätskontrolle und des „State of the art" werden einwandfrei erfüllt. Hämoglobin und Matrix-beeinflussende Substanzen interferieren. Aufgrund eines eingehenden Vergleichs von über 3000 Meßwerten mit Literaturdaten kann festgestellt werden, daß die „ Trockenchemie-Analytik" des Seralyzer-Systems für Bilirubin den klinischen Anforderungen genügt.
