The role of CD27-CD70-mediated T cell co-stimulation in vasculogenesis, arteriogenesis and angiogenesis.
Simons KH, Aref Z, Peters HAB, Welten SP, Nossent AY, Jukema JW, Hamming JF, Arens R, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
Background: T cells have a distinctive role in neovascularization, which consists of arteriogenesis and angiogenesis under pathological conditions and vasculogenesis under physiological conditions. However, the role of co-stimulation in T cell activation in neovascularization has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to investigate the role T cell co-stimulation and inhibition in angiogenesis, arteriogenesis and vasculogenesis. Methods and results: Hind limb ischemia was induced by do...

Pacemaker implantation rate after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with early and new-generation devices: a systematic review.
van Rosendael PJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Aims: The incidence of new-onset conduction abnormalities requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with new-generation prostheses remains debated. This systematic review analyses the incidence of PPI after TAVI with new-generation devices and evaluates the electrical, anatomical, and procedural factors associated with PPI. In addition, the incidence of PPI after TAVI with early generation prostheses was reviewed for comparison. Methods...

Highly controlled Bloch wave propagation in surfaces with broken symmetry.
Yilmaz D, Yeltik A, Kurt H
We propose and demonstrate reduced symmetry photonic surfaces providing highly controlled Bloch wave propagation. The backward and dual directional propagations have been observed in the proposed low-symmetric periodic structures without variation in the unit-cell filling factor. Frequency-domain analyses present group indices up to negative/positive -237/+96 as strong indicators of the observed directional controlled surface waves driven by the orientation angle in the range of 20°-90°. Further...

Long-term results of mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation in asymptomatic patients.
Tomšič A, Hiemstra YL, van Hout FMA, van Brakel TJ, Versteegh MIM, Marsan NA, Klautz RJM, Palmen M
Background: In asymptomatic patients with severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation (MR), early surgery is often performed in experienced centers. The patient- and valve-related results and the quality of life after surgery in these patients remain insufficiently explored. Methods: Between 1/2000 and 12/2015, 83 asymptomatic patients (mean age 56.6±12.6 years, 21 female) without any complications related to long-lasting MR underwent early surgery. Follow-up clinical and echocardiographic da...

Background: Current standard methods used to detect and monitor bladder cancer (BC) are invasive or have low sensitivity. This study aimed to develop a urine methylation biomarker classifier for BC monitoring and validate this classifier in patients in follow-up for bladder cancer (PFBC). Methods: Voided urine samples (N = 725) from BC patients, controls, and PFBC were prospectively collected in four centers. Finally, 626 urine samples were available for analysis. DNA was extracted from the urin...

Background: Longer QRS duration (QRSd) improves, but increased left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) reduces, efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). QRSd/LVEDV ratios differ between sexes. We hypothesized that in the EchoCRT (Echocardiography Guided Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) trial enrolling patients with heart failure with QRSd

Using routinely collected data to evaluate risk factors for mortality of veal calves.
Santman-Berends IMGA, de Bont-Smolenaars AJG, Roos L, Velthuis AGJ, van Schaik G
From 2009 to 2012 a gradual increase in on-farm mortality of Dutch veal calves was observed. In 2012, the cattle industry decided that more information was needed on risk factors for mortality in both veal herds and herds of origin to enable implementation of risk mitigating measures. Routinely collected data were available from seven different data sources and contained information from 2.4 million white veal calves that were fattened in the period between 1 January 2011 and 30 June 2014.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) introduction into a naive Dutch pig population in 2014.
Dortmans JCFM, Li W, van der Wolf PJ, Buter GJ, Franssen PJM, van Schaik G, Houben M, Bosch BJ
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the highly contagious, causative agent of an economically important acute enteric disease in pigs of all ages. The disease is characterized by diarrhea and dehydration causing mortality and growth retardation. In the last few decades, only classical PEDV was reported sporadically in Europe, but in 2014 outbreaks of PEDV were described in Germany. Phylogenetic analysis showed a very high nucleotide similarity with a variant of PEDV that was isolated in th...

Chronic sequelae and severe complications of norovirus infection: A systematic review of literature.
Petrignani M, Verhoef L, de Graaf M, Richardus JH, Koopmans M
Norovirus causes an estimated 18% of all cases of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and is found to be associated with mortality. To create a first overview of severe complications and chronic sequelae of norovirus infections, a systematic review of literature was performed. Of 3928 individual hits, 176 publications remained for data extraction. Study periods varied between 1974 and 2017, though strongly skewed towards the last decade (n = 122, 70%). Countries of studies were worldwide, though Afr...

A gene variant near ATM affects the response to metformin and metformin plasma levels: a post hoc analysis of an RCT.
Out M, Becker ML, van Schaik RH, Lehert P, Stehouwer CD, Kooy A
Aim: To determine the influence of polymorphisms on the effects of metformin on HbA1c, daily dose of insulin and metformin plasma concentration. Methods: In a post hoc analysis of a 4.3 year placebo-controlled randomized trial with 390 patients with Type 2 diabetes already on insulin, we analyzed the influence of polymorphisms in genes coding for ATM and the transporters OCT1 and MATE1. Outcome measures were a combined HbA1c + daily dose of insulin Z score and metformin plasma concentrations. Re...

Lameijer H, van Slooten YJ, Jongbloed MRM, Oudijk MA, Kampman MAM, van Dijk AP, Post MC, Mulder BJ, Sollie KM, van Veldhuisen DJ, Ebels T, van Melle JP, Pieper PG
Background: We evaluate pregnancy outcome and anticoagulation regimes in women with mechanical and biological prosthetic heart valves (PHV) for congenital heart disease. Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort studying pregnancy outcomes in an existing cohort of patients with PHV. Results: 52 women had 102 pregnancies of which 78 pregnancies (46 women) ≥20 weeks duration (59 biological, 19 mechanical PHV). Miscarriages (n = 19, ≤20 weeks) occurred more frequently in women using anticoagulation...

Background: In case of suspicious lymph nodes on computed tomography (CT) or fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), advanced tumour size or central tumour location in patients with suspected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Dutch and European guidelines recommend mediastinal staging by endosonography (endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)) with sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes. If biopsy results from endosonography turn out negative, additional...

A novel view on the pathogenesis of complications after intravesical BCG for bladder cancer.
Bilsen MP, van Meijgaarden KE, de Jong HK, Joosten SA, Prins C, Kroft LJM, Jonker JT, Crobach S, Pelger RC, Ottenhoff THM, Arend SM
Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is widely used for high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This report describes four cases that illustrate the spectrum of BCG-induced complications, varying from granulomatous prostatitis to sepsis. There is considerable debate regarding whether inflammation or infection is the predominant mechanism in the pathogenesis of BCG disease. In two patients with a systemic illness, the symptoms first resolved after adding prednisone, indicating a pri...
