IR involves the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in targeted tissues. This is associated with subsequent cardiac dysfunction when applied during chest radiotherapy. We hypothesized that IR (i.e., ROS)-dependently impaired cardiac myocytes' Ca handling might contribute to IR-dependent cardiocellular dysfunction. Isolated ventricular mouse myocytes and the mediastinal area of anaesthetized mice (that included the heart) were exposed to graded doses of irradiation (sham 4 and 20 Gy) and investigated acutely (after similar to 1 h) as well as chronically (after similar to 1 week). IR induced a dose-dependent effect on myocytes' systolic function with acutely increased, but chronically decreased Ca transient amplitudes, which was associated with an acutely unaltered but chronically decreased sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca load. Likewise, in vivo echocardiography of anaesthetized mice revealed acutely enhanced left ventricular contractility (strain analysis) that declined after 1 week. Irradiated myocytes showed persistently increased diastolic SR Ca leakage, which was acutely compensated by an increase in SR Ca reuptake. This was reversed in the chronic setting in the face of slowed relaxation kinetics. As underlying cause, acutely increased ROS levels were identified to activate Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Accordingly, CaMKII-, but not PKA-dependent phosphorylation sites of the SR Ca release channels (RyR2, at Ser-2814) and phospholamban (at Thr-17) were found to be hyperphosphorylated following IR. Conversely, ROS-scavenging as well as CaMKII-inhibition significantly attenuated CaMKII-activation, disturbed Ca handling, and subsequent cellular dysfunction upon irradiation. Targeted cardiac irradiation induces a biphasic effect on cardiac myocytes Ca handling that is associated with chronic cardiocellular dysfunction. This appears to be mediated by increased oxidative stress and persistently activated CaMKII. Our findings suggest impaired cardiac myocytes Ca handling as a so far unknown mediator of IR-dependent cardiac damage that might be of relevance for radiation-induced cardiac dysfunction."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00395-013-0385-6"],["dc.identifier.isi","000324877000001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24068185"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10300"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28721"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/51"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | A03: Bedeutung CaMKII-abhängiger Mechanismen für die Arrhythmogenese bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation.issn","0300-8428"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG L.

We investigated if tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α acts synergistically with irradiation, and how its activity is influenced by platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1). We studied murine models of selective single-dose (25 Gy) liver irradiation with and without TNF-α application (2 μg/mouse; i.p.). In serum of wild-type (wt)-mice, irradiation induced a mild increase in hepatic damage marker aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in comparison to sham-irradiated controls. AST levels further increased in mice treated with both irradiation and TNF-α. Accordingly, elevated numbers of leucocytes and increased expression of the macrophage marker CD68 were observed in the liver of these mice. In parallel to hepatic damage, a consecutive decrease in expression of hepatic PECAM-1 was found in mice that received radiation or TNF-α treatment alone. The combination of radiation and TNF-α induced an additional significant decline of PECAM-1. Furthermore, increased expression of hepatic lipocalin-2 (LCN-2), a hepatoprotective protein, was detected at mRNA and protein levels after irradiation or TNF-α treatment alone and the combination of both. Signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3) seems to be involved in the signalling cascade. To study the involvement of PECAM-1 in hepatic damage more deeply, the liver of both wt- and PECAM-1-knock-out-mice were selectively irradiated (25 Gy). Thereby, ko-mice showed higher liver damage as revealed by elevated AST levels, but also increased hepatoprotective LCN-2 expression. Our studies show that TNF-α has a pivotal role in radiation-induced hepatic damage. It acts in concert with irradiation and its activity is modulated by PECAM-1, which mediates pro- and anti-inflammatory signalling."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/jcmm.14224"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30761739"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15851"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59695"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1582-4934"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","PECAM-1 modulates liver damage induced by synergistic effects of TNF-α and irradiation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The effect of altering these limitations on the number of monitor units and radiation dose to the organs at risk (OAR) were analysed. Methods: IMRT plans for different LVs from 1.0 cm/sec to 10.0 cm/sec and different DRs from 100 MU/min to 600 MU/min for two patients with prostate cancer and two patients with squamous cell cancer of the scalp (SCCscalp) were calculated using the same \"optimal fluence map\". For each field the number of monitor units, the dose volume histograms and the differences in the \"actual fluence maps\" of the fields were analysed. Results: With increase of the DR and decrease of the LV the number of monitor units increased and consequentially the radiation dose given to the OAR. In particular the serial OARs of patients with SCCscalp, which are located outside the end position of the leafs and inside the open field, received an additional dose of a higher DR and lower LV is used. Conclusion: For best protection of organs at risk, a low DR and high LV should be applied. But the consequence of a low DR is both a long treatment time and also that a LV of higher than 3.0 cm/sec is mechanically not applicable. Our recommendation for an optimisation of the discussed parameters is a leaf velocity of 2.5 cm/sec and a dose rate of 300-400 MU/min (prostate cancer) and 100-200 MU/min (SCCscalp) for best protection of organs at risk, short treatment time and number of monitor units."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1748-717X-3-31"],["dc.identifier.isi","000260418200001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18811954"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/4321"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53311"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Impact of different leaf velocities and dose rates on the number of monitor units and the dose-volume-histograms using intensity modulated radiotherapy with sliding-window technique"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In this add-on evaluation, we investigated the association of gender and age with acute toxicity and outcome. Patients and methods: According to actual treatment analyses, 654 of 799 patients had received pre-(n = 406) or postoperative CRT (n = 248); in 145 patients postoperative CRT was not applied. Gender, age and clinicopathological parameters were correlated with CRT-associated acute toxicity and survival. Results: The 10-year survival was higher in women than in men, with 72.4% versus 65.6% for time to recurrence (p = 0.088) and 62.7% versus 58.4% for overall-survival (OS) (p = 0.066), as expected. For patients receiving CRT, women showed higher hematologic (p < 0.001) and acute organ toxicity (p < 0.001) in the entire cohort as well as in subgroup analyses according to pre- (p = 0.016) and postoperative CRT (p < 0.001). Lowest OS was seen in patients without acute toxicity (p = 0.0271). Multivariate analyses for OS showed that acute organ toxicity (p = 0.034) was beneficial while age (p < 0.001) was associated with worse OS. Discussion: Female gender is significantly associated with CRT-induced acute toxicity in rectal cancer. Acute toxicity during CRT may be associated with improved long-term outcome.

Both, at mRNA and protein level, a time-dependent decrease in hepatic PECAM-1, corresponding to an increase in intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (6hrs) was detected in WT-mice after irradiation. Immunohistologically, an increased number of neutrophil granulocytes (NG) (but not of mononuclear phagocytes) was observed in the liver of WT and PECAM-1-KO mice at 6hrs after irradiation. The number of recruited NG was higher and prolonged until 24hrs in KO compared to WT-mice. Correspondingly, a significant induction of hepatic tumour necrosis factor (TNF)- and CXC-chemokines (KC/CXCL1 interleukin-8/CXCL8) was detected together with an elevation of serum liver transaminases (6-24hrs) in WT and KO-mice. Likewise, phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3) was observed in both animal groups after irradiation. The level of all investigated proteins as well as of the liver transaminases was significantly higher in KO than WT-mice. In the cell-line U937, irradiation led to a reduction in PECAM-1 in parallel to an increased ICAM-1 expression. TNF--blockage by anti-TNF- prevented this change in both proteins in cell culture.

The focus of this work is on the analysis of observer-related reasons while controlling for other variables. Methods: In three consecutive patients, eighteen physicians from fourteen different departments delineated the GTV and M in CT-slices using a detailed instruction for target delineation. Differences in the volumes, the delineated anatomic lymph node compartments and differences in every delineated pixel of the contoured volumes in the CT-slices (pixel-by-pixel-analysis) were evaluated for different groups: ten radiation oncologists from ten departments (ROs), four haematologic oncologists and chest physicians from four departments (HOs) and five radiation oncologists from one department (RO1D). Results: Agreement (overlap >= 70% of the contoured pixels) for the GTV and PTV delineation was found in 16.3% and 23.7% (ROs), 30.4% and 38.6% (HOs) and 32.8% and 35.9% (RO1D), respectively. Conclusion: A large interobserver variability in the PTV and much more in the GTV delineation were observed in spite of a detailed instruction for delineation. The variability was smallest for group RO1D where due to repeated discussions and uniform teaching a better agreement was achieved. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Patients and methods: 18 patients entered into this prospective evaluation. Three gold markers were implanted into the prostate during the first HDR-brachytherapy procedure after the irradiation was administered. Three days after marker implantation all patients had a CT-scan for planning purpose of the percutaneous irradiation. Marker localization was defined on the digitally-reconstructed-radiographs (DRR) for daily (VMAT technique) or weekly (IMRT) set-up error correction. Percutaneous therapy started one week after first HDR-brachytherapy. After the second HDR-brachytherapy, two weeks after first HDR-brachtherapy, a cone-beam CT-scan was done to evaluate marker displacement due to needle insertion. In case of marker displacement, the actual positions of the gold markers were adjusted on the DRR. Results: The value of the gold marker displacement due to the second HDR-brachytherapy was analyzed in all patients and for each gold marker by comparison of the marker positions in the prostate after soft tissue registration of the prostate of the CT-scans prior the first and second HDR-brachytherapy. The maximum deviation was 5 mm, 7 mm and 12 mm for the anterior-posterior, lateral and superior-inferior direction. At least one marker in each patient showed a significant displacement and therefore new marker positions were adjusted on the DRRs for the ongoing percutaneous therapy. Conclusions: Needle insertion in the prostate due to HDR-brachytherapy can lead to gold marker displacements. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the actual position of markers after the second HDR-brachytherapy. In case of significant deviations, a new DRR with the adjusted marker positions should be generated for precise positioning during the ongoing percutaneous irradiation."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2012"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1748-717X-7-24"],["dc.identifier.isi","000301712000001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22348595"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7455"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/27164"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1748-717X"],["dc.rights","CC BY 2.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0"],["dc.title","Gold marker displacement due to needle insertion during HDR-brachytherapy for treatment of prostate cancer: A prospective cone beam computed tomography and kilovoltage on-board imaging (kV-OBI) study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
