Human β-Defensins in Diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancers.
Kompuinen J, Keskin M, Yilmaz D, Gürsoy M, Gürsoy UK
Head and neck cancers are malignant growths with high death rates, which makes the early diagnosis of the affected patients of utmost importance. Over 90% of oral cavity cancers come from squamous cells, and the tongue, oral cavity, and salivary glands are the most common locations for oral squamous cell carcinoma lesions. Human β-defensins (hBDs), which are mainly produced by epithelial cells, are cationic peptides with a wide antimicrobial spectrum. In addition to their role in antimicrobial d...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ɣ agonist mediated inhibition of heparanase expression reduces proteinuria.
Garsen M, Buijsers B, Sol M, Gockeln L, Sonneveld R, van Kuppevelt TH, de Graaf M, van den Born J, Kamps JAAM, van Raalte DH, van der Meer RW, Lamb HJ, Hillebrands JL, Rabelink TJ, Maciej-Hulme ML, Krenning G, Nijenhuis T, van der Vlag J
Background: Proteinuria is associated with many glomerular diseases and a risk factor for the progression to renal failure. We previously showed that heparanase (HPSE) is essential for the development of proteinuria, whereas peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ɣ (PPARɣ) agonists can ameliorate proteinuria. Since a recent study showed that PPARɣ regulates HPSE expression in liver cancer cells, we hypothesized that PPARɣ agonists exert their reno-protective effect by inhibiting glomerular H...

A quantitative assessment of perfusion of the gastric conduit after oesophagectomy using near-infrared fluorescence with indocyanine green.
Galema HA, Faber RA, Tange FP, Hilling DE, van der Vorst JR, Upper-GI ICG quantification study group
Introduction: Anastomotic leakage is a severe complication after oesophageal resection with gastric conduit reconstruction. Poor perfusion of the gastric conduit plays an important role in the development of anastomotic leakage. Quantitative near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green (ICG-FA) is an objective technique that can be used for perfusion assessment. This study aims to assess perfusion patterns of the gastric conduit with quantitative ICG-FA. Methods: In this e...

NL-EVDR: Netherlands-ExtraVascular Device Registry.
Tjong FVY, Breeman KTN, Boersma LVA, Yap SC, van Erven L, van der Stoel MD, van Dijk VF, Maass AH, Knops RE, NL-EVDR Working Group and NHR Device Registration Committee
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy is an essential element in treating cardiac arrhythmias. Despite their benefits, conventional transvenous CIEDs are associated with a significant risk of mainly pocket- and lead-related complications. To overcome these complications, extravascular devices (EVDs), such as the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and intracardiac leadless pacemaker, have been developed. In the near future, several other innovative EVDs will become...

Copier JS, Bootsma M, Ng CA, Wilde AAM, Bertels RA, Bikker H, Christiaans I, van der Crabben SN, Hol JA, Koopmann TT, Knijnenburg J, Lommerse AAJ, van der Smagt JJ, Bezzina CR, Vandenberg JI, Verkerk AO, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Lodder EM
Background: Variants in KCNH2, encoding the human ether a-go-go (hERG) channel that is responsible for the rapid component of the cardiac delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr), are causal to long QT syndrome type 2 (LQTS2). We identified eight index patients with a new variant of unknown significance (VUS), KCNH2:c.2717C > T:p.(Ser906Leu). We aimed to elucidate the biophysiological effect of this variant, to enable reclassification and consequent clinical decision-making. Methods: A genotype-phe...

Interaction between secondary mitral regurgitation and left atrial function and their prognostic implications after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Stassen J, Galloo X, Hirasawa K, Hirasawa K, van der Bijl P, Leon MB, Marsan NA, Bax JJ
Aims: Left atrial (LA) function is a strong prognostic marker in patients with heart failure and functional mitral regurgitation (MR). Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown to improve MR severity, the interaction between a reduction in MR severity and an increase in LA function, as well as its association with outcomes, has not been investigated. Methods and results: LA reservoir strain (RS) was evaluated with speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with at least moder...

Unipolar voltage mapping in right ventricular cardiomyopathy: pitfalls, solutions and advantages.
Hoogendoorn JC, Venlet J, de Riva M, Wijnmaalen AP, Piers SRD, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: Endocardial unipolar and bipolar voltage mapping (UVM/BVM) of the right ventricle (RV) are used for transmural substrate delineation. However, far-field electrograms (EGMs) and EGM changes due to injury current may influence automatically generated UVM. Epicardial BVM is considered less accurate due to the impact of fat thickness (FT). Data on epicardial UVM are sparse. The aim of the study is two-fold: to assess the influence of the manually corrected window-of-interest on UVM and the pot...

Factors influencing post-surgical survival in degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Butcher SC, Essayagh B, Steyerberg EW, Benfari G, Antoine C, Grigioni F, Le Tourneau T, Roussel JC, van Wijngaarden A, Marsan NA, Tribouilloy C, Rusinaru D, Hochstadt A, Topilsky Y, Michelena HI, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Enriquez-Sarano M
Aims: Indications for surgery in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) are increasingly liberal in all clinical guidelines but the role of secondary outcome determinants (left atrial volume index ≥60 mL/m2, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary artery systolic pressure ≥50 mmHg and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation) and their impact on post-operative outcome remain disputed. Whether these secondary outcome markers are just reflective of the DMR severity or intrinsically affect...
