Dtsch med Wochenschr 2020; 145: 474-479DOI: 10.1055/a-0963-9202 Übergeordnete Prinzipien Das Prinzip des Treat-to-Target (Remission als Ziel) wie auch die Notwendigkeit, Glukokortikoide (GC) auszuschleichen, werden betont. Remission als Ziel des Treat-to-Target Das Therapieziel ist die Remission nach den EULAR-Kriterien (z. B. SDAI < 3,3); wenn dies nicht möglich ist, dann ist die niedrige Krankheitsaktivität (DAS28 < 3,2) eine Alternative. Konventionell synthetische...

Für die Diagnose einer Sepsis-assoziierten Organdysfunktion ist eine Veränderung des Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Scores um ≥ 2 Punkte zu verwenden. Therapie Zur hämodynamischen Stabilisierung von Patienten sollte eine intravenöse kristalloide Lösung...

Dtsch med WochenschrDOI: 10.1055/a-1146-1160The COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges for the German health care system. What is already the case in some other countries, may occur in Germany in the near future also: Faced with limited ICU resources, doctors will be forced to decide which patients to treat and which to let die. This paper examines the legal implications of such decisions. It takes up arguments from the general discussion on prioritization in medicine. A constitutional...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death with a median survival time of 6-12 months. Most patients present with disseminated disease and the majority are offered palliative chemotherapy. With no approved treatment modalities for patients who progress on chemotherapy, we explored the effects of long-term Gemcitabine on the tumor microenvironment in order to identify potential therapeutic options for chemo-refractory PDAC. Using a combination of mouse models,...

Abstract HOX genes encode a family of evolutionarily conserved homeodomain transcription factors that are crucial both during development and adult life. In humans, 39 HOX genes are arranged in four clusters (HOXA, B, C, and D) in chromosomes 7, 17, 12, and 2, respectively. During embryonic development, particular epigenetic states accompany their expression along the anterior–posterior body axis. This tightly regulated temporal–spatial expression pattern reflects their relative...
Abstract In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), synovial tissue abundantly expresses CCL21, a chemokine strongly associated with RA susceptibility. In this study, we aimed to characterize the functional significance of CCL21/CCR7 signaling in different phases of RA pathogenesis. We determined that CCR7 is a hallmark of RA M1 synovial fluid (SF) macrophages, and its expression in RA monocytes and in vitro differentiated macrophages is closely associated with disease activity score (DAS28)....
Abstract FA-SAT is a highly conserved satellite DNA sequence transcribed in many Bilateria species. To disclose the cellular and functional profile of FA-SAT non-coding RNAs, a comprehensive experimental approach, including the transcripts location in the cell and in the cell cycle, the identification of its putative protein interactors, and silencing/ectopic expression phenotype analysis, was performed. FA-SAT non-coding RNAs play a nuclear function at the G1 phase of the cell...
