Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is caused by recurrent somatic mutations leading to clonal blood cell expansion. However, direct evidence of the fitness of CHIP-mutated human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in blood reconstitution is lacking. Because myeloablative treatment and transplantation enforce stress on HSCs, we followed 81 patients with solid tumors or lymphoid diseases undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for the development of CHIP. We found a high incidence of CHIP (22%) after ASCT with a high mean variant allele frequency (VAF) of 10.7%. Most mutations were already present in the graft, albeit at lower VAFs, demonstrating a selective reconstitution advantage of mutated HSCs after ASCT. However, patients with CHIP mutations in DNA-damage response genes showed delayed neutrophil reconstitution. Thus, CHIP-mutated stem and progenitor cells largely gain on clone size upon ASCT-related blood reconstitution, leading to an increased future risk of CHIP-associated complications.
Deichbau und andere flussbautechnische Maßnahmen haben dazu geführt, dass die Mittlere Elbe ihre ursprünglichen Überschwemmungsgebiete verloren hat. Um die Auswirkungen der alljährlich auftretenden Hochwasserereignisse einzudämmen, wurden große Bereiche der Talniederung durch Deiche vom Überflutungsgeschehen abgetrennt. Diese Eingriffe in den Naturhaushalt ermöglichten gleichfalls eine intensive ackerbauliche Nutzung oder eine hochwassersichere Bebauung der Auen. Die natürliche Auendynamik ist heute weitestgehend auf einen schmalen Bereich entlang der Elbe beschränkt. Hinter den Deichen sind die für die Elbeauen typischen Lebensräume von der lebenswichtigen Auendynamik abgeschnitten. Angepasste Auenarten und -lebensgemeinschaften treten zugunsten von Allerweltsarten zurück. Eine Wiederanbindung von Altauenbereichen an das Überflutungsgeschehen ist deshalb eine der vordringlichsten Maßnahmen zur Revitalisierung gefährdeter Auenlebensräume und stellt eine Chance dar, einen nachhaltigen und modernen Hochwasserschutz mit Naturschutzzielen zu verbinden. An der Elbe entspricht das aktuelle Hochwasserschutzsystem nicht den heutigen Anforderungen an den Hochwasserschutz. Um jedoch jederzeit auf mögliche große Hochwasserereignisse reagieren zu können, entstanden Anfang der 1990er Jahre in den Anliegerländern der Elbe zahlreiche Pläne für Deichrückverlegungen.
Zielsetzung: Die Daten für das Jahr 2018 des Registers „Abdominelles Aortenaneurysma“ (AAA) des Deutschen Instituts für Gefäßmedizinische Gesundheitsforschung (DIGG) der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Gefäßchirurgie und Gefäßmedizin werden vorgestellt.
Methodik: Im Jahr 2018 beteiligten sich an dem Register insgesamt 135 Kliniken. Für die offene Versorgung (OR) des intakten AAA (iAAA) gaben 118 (87,4 %) Kliniken, für die endovaskuläre Versorgung (EVAR) des iAAA 133 (98,5 %) Kliniken Daten ein. Für das rupturierte AAA (rAAA) wurden von 80 Kliniken (59,3 %) (EVAR) bzw. 65 (48,1 %) Kliniken (OR) Patienten gemeldet. Ausgewertet wurden die Daten von 4051 stationär behandelten Patienten.
Ergebnisse: 2800 iAAA (75,8 %) wurden endovaskulär und 895 (24,2 %) offen versorgt. Bei den endovaskulär versorgten Patienten mit iAAA verlief der Eingriff in 86,4 % der Fälle komplikationslos. Es verstarben insgesamt 32 Patienten (1,1 %) bis zur Entlassung. Bei den offen versorgten Patienten wiesen 73,4 % der Patienten keine Komplikationen auf. Verstorben sind insgesamt 42 Patienten (4,7 %). Von den 356 Patienten mit rAAA wurden 192 (53,9 %) endovaskulär und 164 (46,1 %) offen versorgt. Nur 11,0 % der mit OR versorgten Patienten, aber 23,4 % bei EVAR wiesen freies Blut in der Bauchhöhle auf. Bei EVAR sind 30,7 % der Patienten während des stationären Aufenthalts verstorben, bei OR 20,1 %.
Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse des Jahres 2018 zu Klinikletalität und Morbidität bei endovaskulärer und offener Versorgung des iAAA bestätigen weitestgehend die publizierten Ergebnisse für die Jahre 2013 bis 2017. Beim rAAA wurde 2018 erstmals über mehr endovaskuläre als offene Versorgungen berichtet – mit Ergebnissen, die denen der Vorjahre diametral entgegengesetzt waren. Patienten mit EVAR wiesen die höhere Komorbidität als Patienten mit OR auf und die Klinikletalität war höher. Es bleiben die Ergebnisse der Folgejahre abzuwarten, um diesen Trend genauer bewerten zu können.
Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome with high short‐term mortality. Precipitating events, including hemorrhage and infections, contribute to ACLF development, but the role of surgery remains unknown. We investigated the development of ACLF in patients with cirrhosis undergoing surgery. In total, 369 patients with cirrhosis were included in the study. The clinical and laboratory data were collected prior to and on days 1‐2, 3‐8, and 9‐28, and at 3 and 12 months after surgery. Surgery type was classified as limited or extensive, as well as liver and nonliver surgery. A total of 39 patients had baseline ACLF. Surgery was performed during acute decompensation in 35% of the rest of the 330 patients, and 81 (24.5%) developed ACLF within 28 days after surgery. Surrogate markers of systemic inflammation were similar in patients who developed ACLF or not. Age, sex, serum sodium, baseline bacterial infection, and abdominal nonliver surgery were independent predictors for the development of ACLF after surgery. Patients who developed ACLF within 28 days after surgery had a higher mortality at 3, 6, and 12 months. Survival did not differ between patients with ACLF at surgery and those developing ACLF after surgery. Development of ACLF within 28 days after surgery and elevated alkaline phosphatase and international normalized ratio were independent predictors of 90‐day mortality. Independent predictors of 1‐year all‐cause mortality were alkaline phosphatase, Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease score, and preoperative hepatic encephalopathy, whereas nonliver surgery was associated with improved survival. ACLF frequently develops in patients with cirrhosis undergoing surgery, especially in those with active bacterial infection, lower serum sodium, and kidney or coagulation dysfunction. Prognoses of ACLF both at and after surgery are similarly poor. Patients with cirrhosis should be carefully managed perioperatively.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a frequent complication in patients with hematological and oncological diseases. However, the impact of different bacterial species causing BSI and of multiple BSI remains incompletely understood. We performed a retrospective study profiling 637 bacterial BSI episodes in hematological and oncological patients. Based on the 30-day (30d) overall survival (OS), we analyzed different types of multiple BSI and grouped BSI-associated bacteria into clusters followed by further assessment of clinical and infection-related characteristics. We discovered that polymicrobial BSI (different organisms on the first day of a BSI episode) and sequential BSI (another BSI before the respective BSI episode) were associated with a worse 30d OS. Different bacterial groups could be classified into three BSI outcome clusters based on 30d OS: favorable (FAV) including mainly common skin contaminants, Escherichia spp. and Streptococcus spp.; intermediate (INT) including mainly Enterococcus spp., vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp., and multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria (MDRGN); and adverse (ADV) including MDRGN with an additional carbapenem-resistance (MDRGN+CR). A polymicrobial or sequential BSI especially influenced the outcome in the combination of two INT cluster BSI. The presence of a polymicrobial BSI and the assignment into the BSI outcome clusters were identified as independent risk factors for 30d mortality in a Cox multivariate regression analysis. The assignment to a BSI outcome cluster and the differentiated perspective of multiple BSI open new insights into the prognosis of patients with BSI and should be further validated in other patient cohorts.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) offers potential cure to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. However, infections with commensal bacteria are an important cause for non-relapse mortality (NRM). We have previously described the impact of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization on the survival of allo-HSCT patients. In the aforementioned publication, according to consensus, we there did not consider the opportunistic gram-negative bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) to be an MDRO. Since rate of S. maltophilia colonization is increasing, and it is not known whether this poses a risk for allo-HSCT patients, we here analyzed here its effect on the previously described and now extended patient cohort. We report on 291 AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT. Twenty of 291 patients (6.9%) were colonized with S. maltophilia. Colonized patients did not differ from non-colonized patients with respect to their age, remission status before allo-HSCT, donor type and HSCT-comorbidity index. S. maltophilia colonized patients had a worse overall survival (OS) from 6 months up to 60 months (85% vs. 88.1% and 24.7% vs. 59.7%; p = 0.007) due to a higher NRM after allo-HSCT (6 months: 15% vs. 4.8% and 60 months: 40.1% vs. 16.2% p = 0.003). The main cause of mortality in colonized patients was infection (46.2% of all deaths) and in non-colonized patients relapse (58.8% of all deaths). 5/20 colonized patients developed an invasive infection with S. maltophilia. The worse OS after allo-HSCT due to higher infection related mortality might implicate the screening of allo-HSCT patients for S. maltophilia and a closer observation of colonized patients as outpatients.
The mechanism by which the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase from yeast is activated allosterically has been elucidated. A total of seven three-dimensional structures of the enzyme, of enzyme variants or of enzyme complexes from two yeast species (three of them reported here for the first time) provide detailed atomic resolution snapshots along the activation coordinate. The prime event is the covalent binding of the substrate pyruvate to the side chain of cysteine 221, thus forming a thiohemiketal. This reaction causes the shift of a neighbouring amino acid, which eventually leads to the rigidification of two otherwise flexible loops, where one of the loops provides two histidine residues necessary to complete the enzymatically competent active site architecture. The structural data are complemented and supported by kinetic investigations and binding studies and provide a consistent picture of the structural changes, which occur upon enzyme activation.
Acne‐like skin reactions frequently occur in patients undergoing treatment with drugs inhibiting the epidermal growth factor receptor. Recently, the effects of vitamin K1 containing cream (Reconval K1) as prophylactic skin treatment in addition to doxycycline were explored in a double‐blind randomized phase II trial (EVITA) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving cetuximab. EVITA demonstrated a trend towards less severe skin rash in Reconval K1‐treated patients using the tripartite WoMo skin reaction grading score as a thorough tool for quantification of drug related skin reactions. This gender‐specific analysis of the EVITA trial evaluated the application of the WoMo score for assessment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐related skin toxicities according to treatment arm and gender. To show the robustness of results parametric and non‐parametric statistical analyses were conducted. All three parts of the WoMo score independently demonstrated the superiority of the treatment arm (Reconval K1) regarding a significant reduction in acneiform skin reactions in women. Men did not benefit from Reconval K1 cream at any time point in none of the WoMo score analyses. The treatment effect in women was confirmed by the use of skin rash categories based on the final WoMo overall score and mixed effect longitudinal multiple linear regression analysis. The WoMo score represents a sensitive tool for studies exploiting treatments against EGFR mediated acne‐like skin rash. Part C of the WoMo score seems to be sufficient for quantification of drug related skin toxicities in further studies. Standard WoMo skin reaction score values for future studies are provided.
Zielsetzung: Die Daten für das Jahr 2019 des Registers „Abdominelles Aortenaneurysma“ (AAA) des Deutschen Instituts für Gefäßmedizinische Gesundheitsforschung (DIGG) der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Gefäßchirurgie und Gefäßmedizin werden vorgestellt.
Methodik: Im Jahr 2019 beteiligten sich an dem Register insgesamt 109 Kliniken. Für die offene Versorgung (OR) des intakten AAA (iAAA) gaben 78 (71,6 %) Kliniken, für die endovaskuläre Versorgung (EVAR) des iAAA 102 (93,6 %) Kliniken Daten ein. Für das rupturierte AAA (rAAA) wurden von 36 Kliniken (33,0 %) (EVAR) bzw. 50 (45,9 %) Kliniken (OR) Patienten gemeldet. Ausgewertet wurden die Daten von 1967 stationär behandelten Patienten. Von den insgesamt 1793 iAAA waren 1501 infrarenal (83,7 %) und 292 (16,3 %) juxtarenal gelegen.
Ergebnisse: 1429 iAAA (79,7 %) wurden endovaskulär und 364 (20,3 %) offen versorgt. Bei den endovaskulär versorgten Patienten mit iAAA verlief der Eingriff in 86,3 % der Fälle komplikationslos. Es verstarben insgesamt 15 Patienten (1,0 %) bis zur Entlassung. Bei den offen versorgten Patienten wiesen 67,0 % der Patienten keine Komplikationen auf. Verstorben sind insgesamt 20 Patienten (5,5 %). Bei EVAR war die Klinikletalität bei Versorgung juxtarenaler AAA mit 3,7 % signifikant höher als bei Versorgung infrarenaler AAA mit 0,6 % (p = 0,002), bei OR konnten hingegen keine signifikanten Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Klinikletalität aufgezeigt werden (juxtarenal 4,8 %, infrarenal 5,8 %; p = 0,470). Von den 174 Patienten mit rAAA wurden 80 (46,0 %) endovaskulär und 94 (54,0 %) offen versorgt. Bei EVAR sind 20,0 % der Patienten während des stationären Aufenthalts verstorben, bei OR 36,2 %.
Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse des Jahres 2019 zu Klinikletalität und Morbidität bei endovaskulärer und offener Versorgung des iAAA bestätigen weitgehend die publizierten Ergebnisse für die Jahre 2013 bis 2018. Beim rAAA sind die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Jahresberichte hingegen widersprüchlich, die kleinen berichteten jährlichen Fallzahlen erlauben nur Aussagen über größere Zeiträume.
