Establishing immunogenicity and safety of needle-free intradermal delivery by nanoporous ceramic skin patch of mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as a revaccination strategy in healthy volunteers.
Prins MLM, Prins C, de Vries JJC, Visser LG, Roukens AHE
Introduction: Nanoporous microneedle arrays (npMNA) are being developed as skin patches for vaccine delivery. As alternative for needle-based immunisation, they may potentially result in higher vaccine acceptance, which is important for future mass vaccination campaigns to control outbreaks, such as COVID-19, and for public vaccination in general. In this study we investigated the safety and immunogenicity of needle-free intradermal delivery of a fractional third or fourth dose of mRNA-1273 vacc...

Valve-sparing operations after Ross procedure: a single-center experience.
Jahanyar J, Arabkhani B, Zanella L, de Kerchove L, Tsai PI, Aphram G, Mastrobuoni S, El Khoury G
Background: The Ross procedure has demonstrated excellent long-term results, with restoration of life-expectancy in patients with severe aortic valve dysfunction. However, reintervention after Ross can occur, and herein we describe our center's experience with redo surgery after previous Ross procedures. Methods: We searched our prospective database for aortic valve-repair and recruited all adult (≥18 years) patients who have undergone valve-sparing root replacements (VSRRs) and/or aortic v...

Catheter-Based Techniques for Addressing Atrioventricular Valve Regurgitation in Adult Congenital Heart Disease Patients: A Descriptive Cohort.
El Bouziani A, Witte LS, Bouma BJ, Jongbloed MRM, Robbers-Visser D, Straver B, Beijk MAM, Kiès P, Koolbergen DR, van der Kley F, Schalij MJ, de Winter RJ, Egorova AD
Introduction: Increasing survival of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients comes at the price of a range of late complications-arrhythmias, heart failure, and valvular dysfunction. Transcatheter valve interventions have become a legitimate alternative to conventional surgical treatment in selected acquired heart disease patients. However, literature on technical aspects, hemodynamic effects, and clinical outcomes of percutaneous atrioventricular (AV) valve interventions in ACHD patients...

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate parents' attitudes toward lumbar puncture (LP) for their children with suspected central nervous system infection to determine the reasons for rejection and related factors. Methods: The survey was provided to parents of children (1 month to 18 years old) for whom LP was recommended because of a concern for central nervous system infection. Sociodemographic characteristics and other related factors of parents who did and did not approve of LP were co...

Quantification of Large Transmural Biopsies Reveals Heterogeneity in Innervation Patterns in Chronic Myocardial Infarction.
Chen HS, Voortman LM, van Munsteren JC, Wisse LJ, Tofig BJ, Kristiansen SB, Glashan CA, DeRuiter MC, Zeppenfeld K, Jongbloed MRM
Background: Abnormal cardiac innervation plays an important role in arrhythmogenicity after myocardial infarction (MI). Data regarding reperfusion models and innervation abnormalities in the medium to long term after MI are sparse. Histologic quantification of the small-sized cardiac nerves is challenging, and transmural analysis has not been performed. Objectives: This study sought to assess cardiac innervation patterns in transmural biopsy sections in a porcine reperfusion model of MI (MI-R) u...

Thoracic aortic atherosclerosis in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve; a case-control study.
Dolmaci OB, Klautz RJM, Poelmann RE, Lindeman JHN, Sprengers R, Kroft L, Grewal N
Introduction: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients have an increased risk to develop thoracic aortic complications. Little is known about the prevalence and severity of atherosclerosis in the BAV ascending aortic wall. This study evaluates and compares the prevalence of thoracic aortic atherosclerosis in BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients. Methods: Atherosclerosis was objectified using three diagnostic modalities in two separate BAV patient cohorts (with and without an aortic dilatati...

Feasibility of salvage resection following locoregional failure after chemoradiotherapy and consolidation durvalumab for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
Dickhoff C, Unal S, Heineman DJ, Winkelman JA, Braun J, Bahce I, van Dorp M, Senan S, Dahele M
Introduction: In patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, high-dose chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by consolidation durvalumab improves the 5-year overall survival compared to CRT alone. The feasibility and safety of salvage surgery for such patients who subsequently develop locoregional failure (LRF) is unclear. We evaluated our institutional experience with radical-intent salvage surgery in this patient population. Materials and methods: Details of patients undergoing...

Targeting the glycine-rich domain of TDP-43 with antibodies prevents its aggregation in vitro and reduces neurofilament levels in vivo.
Riemenschneider H, Simonetti F, Sheth U, Katona E, Roth S, Hutten S, Farny D, Michaelsen M, Nuscher B, Schmidt MK, Flatley A, Schepers A, Gruijs da Silva LA, Zhou Q, Klopstock T, Liesz A, Arzberger T, Herms J, Feederle R, Gendron TF, Dormann D, Edbauer D
Cytoplasmic aggregation and concomitant nuclear clearance of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 are found in ~ 90% of cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and ~ 45% of patients living with frontotemporal lobar degeneration, but no disease-modifying therapy is available. Antibody therapy targeting other aggregating proteins associated with neurodegenerative disorders has shown beneficial effects in animal models and clinical trials. The most effective epitopes for safe antibody therapy targeting TD...

Epigenome-wide methylation analysis of colorectal carcinoma, adenoma and normal tissue reveals novel biomarkers addressing unmet clinical needs.
Janssens K, Neefs I, Ibrahim J, Schepers A, Pauwels P, Peeters M, Van Camp G, Op de Beeck K
Background: Biomarker discovery in colorectal cancer has mostly focused on methylation patterns in normal and colorectal tumor tissue, but adenomas remain understudied. Therefore, we performed the first epigenome-wide study to profile methylation of all three tissue types combined and to identify discriminatory biomarkers. Results: Public methylation array data (Illumina EPIC and 450K) were collected from a total of 1 892 colorectal samples. Pairwise differential methylation analyses between tis...

Prognostic Relevance of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction.
Chimed S, Stassen J, Galloo X, Meucci MC, Knuuti J, Delgado V, van der Bijl P, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ
Patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are complex patients who often have a high prevalence of co-morbidities and risk factors. In the present study, we investigated the prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) along with important clinical and echocardiographic variables in patients with HFrEF. Patients who had a first echocardiographic diagnosis of LV systolic dysfunction, defined as LV ejection fraction ≤45%, were selec...

Glycosaminoglycans and fucoidan have a protective effect on experimental glomerulonephritis.
Buijsers B, Maciej-Hulme M, Jacobs M, Bebber MB, de Graaf M, Salmenov R, Parr N, Rabelink TJ, Nijenhuis T, van der Vlag J
Background: The glomerular endothelial glycocalyx is degraded during inflammation. The glycocalyx plays a pivotal role in endothelial function and is involved in many processes including binding of chemokines and cytokines, leukocyte trafficking, and preventing proteinuria. HS-based therapeutics are a promising novel class of anti-inflammatory drugs to restore a compromised endothelial glycocalyx under inflammatory conditions. Recently, we demonstrated that treatment with HS extracted from unsti...

Machine Learning & Molecular Radiation Tumor Biomarkers.
Rydzewski NR, Helzer KT, Bootsma M, Shi Y, Bakhtiar H, Sjöström M, Zhao SG
Developing radiation tumor biomarkers that can guide personalized radiotherapy clinical decision making is a critical goal in the effort towards precision cancer medicine. High-throughput molecular assays paired with modern computational techniques have the potential to identify individual tumor-specific signatures and create tools that can help understand heterogenous patient outcomes in response to radiotherapy, allowing clinicians to fully benefit from the technological advances in molecular...
