Enterobius vermicularis infection of the liver in a patient with colorectal carcinoma with suspected liver metastasis.
Furnée EJ, Spoto C, de Graaf MJ, Smakman N
A 68-year-old man diagnosed with cT3N2 adenocarcinoma of the rectum presented with a synchronous solitary liver metastasis on CT scan. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was started to downstage the primary tumour. Resection of the rectal tumour followed 3 months after the last radiotherapy session and primary resection of the isolated liver lesion was performed in the intervening period. Histopathological assessment of the liver lesion, however, showed no malignancy, but did reveal a necrotic infect...

The role of multimodality imaging in the selection of patients for aortic valve repair.
Regeer MV, Versteegh MI, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aortic valve sparing surgery for aortic regurgitation and/or aortopathy serves as an alternative to aortic valve and root replacement. One of the advantages of aortic valve sparing surgery over conventional replacement is that there is no need for life-long anticoagulation, which is particularly attractive in young patients who may receive a mechanical prosthesis otherwise. However, successful aortic valve repair requires high expertise. At present, reparability is determined intraoperatively by...

Wezel A, Welten SM, Razawy W, Lagraauw HM, de Vries MR, Goossens EA, Boonstra MC, Hamming JF, Kandimalla ER, Kuiper J, Quax PH, Nossent AY, Bot I
Objectives: Unstable atherosclerotic lesions in carotid arteries require surgical endarterectomy to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. We aimed to identify microRNAs that exert a broad effect on atherosclerotic plaque formation and stability in the carotid artery. Background: We made a selection of 164 genes involved in atherosclerosis. Using www.targetscan.org, we determined which microRNAs potentially regulate expression of these genes. We identified multiple microRNAs from the 14q32 microRNA...

Platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome, an underdiagnosed cause of hypoxaemia: four cases and the possible underlying mechanisms.
Nassif M, Lu H, Konings TC, Bouma BJ, Vonk Noordegraaf A, Straver B, Blom NA, Clur SA, Backx AP, Groenink M, Boekholdt SM, Koolbergen DR, Hazekamp MG, Mulder BJ, de Winter RJ
Cardiac platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a position-dependent condition of dyspnoea and hypoxaemia due to right-to-left shunting. It often remains unrecognised in clinical practice, possibly because of its complex underlying pathophysiology. We present four consecutive patients with POS and patent foramen ovale (PFO) who underwent a successful percutaneous PFO closure, describe the mechanism of their POS and provide a review of the literature.

Somatic Variation of T-Cell Receptor Genes Strongly Associate with HLA Class Restriction.
Klarenbeek PL, Doorenspleet ME, Esveldt RE, van Schaik BD, Lardy N, van Kampen AH, Tak PP, Plenge RM, Baas F, de Bakker PI, de Vries N
Every person carries a vast repertoire of CD4+ T-helper cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells for a healthy immune system. Somatic VDJ recombination at genomic loci that encode the T-cell receptor (TCR) is a key step during T-cell development, but how a single T cell commits to become either CD4+ or CD8+ is poorly understood. To evaluate the influence of TCR sequence variation on CD4+/CD8+ lineage commitment, we sequenced rearranged TCRs for both α and β chains in naïve T cells isolated from healthy...

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a leading cause of foodborne disease and severe childhood diarrhea, and they cause a majority of the gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. However, the development of effective and long-lasting HuNoV vaccines and therapeutics has been greatly hindered by their uncultivability. We recently demonstrated that a HuNoV replicates in human B cells, and that commensal bacteria serve as a cofactor for this infection. In this protocol, we provide detailed methods for culturi...

Preoperative thresholds for mid-to-late haemodynamic and clinical outcomes after pulmonary valve replacement in tetralogy of Fallot.
Bokma JP, Winter MM, Oosterhof T, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, Hazekamp MG, Koolbergen DR, Groenink M, Mulder BJ, Bouma BJ
Aims: The right ventricle (RV) remodels early after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients. Previously reported preoperative thresholds to achieve early postoperative RV normalization were consistently close to 80 mL/m(2) for end-systolic volume (ESV) and 160 mL/m(2) for end-diastolic volume (EDV). Our objective was to determine whether these thresholds were also associated with mid-to-late RV normalization and clinical events. Methods and results: Out of a multi...

The epicardium as modulator of the cardiac autonomic response during early development.
Kelder TP, Duim SN, Vicente-Steijn R, Végh AM, Kruithof BP, Smits AM, van Bavel TC, Bax NA, Schalij MJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, DeRuiter MC, Goumans MJ, Jongbloed MR
The cardiac autonomic nervous system (cANS) modulates heart rate, contraction force and conduction velocity. The embryonic chicken heart already responds to epinephrine prior to establishment of the cANS. The aim of this study was to define the regions of the heart that might participate in modulating the early autonomic response to epinephrine. Immunofluorescence analysis reveals expression of neural markers tubulin beta-3 chain and neural cell adhesion molecule in the epicardium during early d...

Background: There's a large clinical need for novel vascular grafts. Tissue engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) have great potential to improve the outcome of vascular grafting procedures. Here, we present a novel approach to generate autologous TEBV in vivo. Polymer rods were engineered and implanted, evoking an inflammatory response that culminates in encapsulation by a fibrocellular capsule. We hypothesized that, after extrusion of the rod, the fibrocellular capsule differentiates into an a...
