The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of ectopic CD133 expression on tumourigenic properties of otherwise CD133-negative, non-tumourigenic cells in vitro and in vivo. CD133 was stably transfected into human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) which was then sorted for the expression of CD133. The effects of CD133 on cell proliferation were assessed upon standard cell counting of sorted cells at various time points. Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice (n = 30) were injected with HEK293 CD133(high) and CD133(low) transfectants (5 x 10(3), 1 x 10(5), or 5 x 10(6) cells per injection). The expression of CD133, Ki67, CD44s, CD44v6, and EpCAM was analysed upon immunohistochemical staining of cryosections with specific antibodies. In vitro, ectopic expression of CD133 did influence neither cell proliferation nor cell cycle distribution of otherwise CD133-negative HEK293 cells. However, CD133(high) cells generated tumours in vivo in SCID mice with at least 1,000-fold increased frequency compared to CD133(low) cells. Tumour load was also significantly increased in CD133(high) cells as compared to those tumours formed by high numbers of CD133(low) cells. Immunohistochemistry stainings disclosed no changes in Ki67, CD44s, CD44v6, or EpCAM once tumours were formed by either cell type. CD133 induces tumour-initiating properties in HEK293 cells in vivo and is potentially involved in the regulation of tumourigenicity. Future research will aim at the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of CD133-induced tumourigenicity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s13277-012-0568-z"],["dc.identifier.isi","000313875400051"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23150174"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8892"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/30845"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1010-4283"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","CD133 induces tumour-initiating properties in HEK293 cells"],["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"]]

However, the microscopic study of cochlear microcirculation is limited due to small scale and anatomical constraints. Here, two-photon fluorescence microscopy is applied to visualize cochlear microvessels. Guinea pigs were injected with Fluorescein isothiocyanateor Texas red-dextrane as plasma marker. Intravital microscopy was performed in four animals and explanted cochleae from four animals were studied. The vascular architecture of the cochlea was visualized up to a depth of 90.0 +/- 22.7 mu m. Imaging yielded a mean contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of 3.3 +/- 1.7. Mean diameter in vivo was 16.5 +/- 6.0 mu m for arterioles and 8.0 +/- 2.4 mu m for capillaries. In explanted cochleae, the diameter of radiating arterioles and capillaries was measured with 12.2 +/- 1.6 mu m and 6.6 +/- 1.0 mu m, respectively. The difference between capillaries and arterioles was statistically significant in both experimental setups (P < 0.001 and P = 0.022, two-way ANOVA).

Therefore, the decrease in olfactory functions seems to be predominantly caused by the inflammation of the epithelium and not by the obstruction of the nose caused by the inflammation. Objective: Olfactory dysfunction is frequently seen in patients with AR; however, little is known about the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the olfactory function in patients with seasonal or perennial AR, and to correlate the results with data obtained by analysis of nasal secretion and obstruction. Methods: Olfactory function was tested using the SniffinSticks test in patients with seasonal or perennial AR and in a control group. Nasal secretion analysis included eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and tryptase testing. Nasal obstruction was evaluated by rhinomanometry. Results: Patients with AR (seasonal and perennial) showed impaired olfactory functions in comparison with the control group. Nasal secretion analysis showed increased values of ECP and tryptase in the seasonal group in comparison with controls.

Hyperfibrinogenemia causing increased plasma viscosity is a known risk factor for sudden sensorineural hearing loss and may lead to a critical reduction of cochlear blood flow. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a substantial reduction of plasma fibrinogen levels by drug-induced defibrinogenation for the treatment of acute hearing loss in vivo. Methods: Acute hearing loss was induced by hyperfibrinogenemia (i.v. injection of 330 mg/kg BW fibrinogen), using a guinea pig animal model. Parameters of cochlear microcirculation and hearing thresholds were quantified by intravital microscopy and evoked response audiometry. After obtaining baseline values, the course of hearing loss and disturbances of microcirculation were investigated under influence of intravenous defibrinogenation therapy (ancrod), corticosteroid, or placebo treatment, using 5 animals/group. Results: Acute hyperfibrinogenemia caused hearing loss from 10 +/- 7 to 26 +/- 10 dB SPL at baseline. Drug-induced reduction of fibrinogen levels showed a significant increase of cochlear microcirculation (1.6-fold) and recovered hearing threshold (11 +/- 6 dB SPL). Placebo or corticosteroid treatment had no effect on hearing loss (35 +/- 7 dB SPL and 32 +/- 18 dB SPL, respectively). Conclusion: Acute hyperfibrinogenemia resulted in hearing loss. Drug-induced reduction of elevated fibrinogen levels caused an increase in cochlear blood flow and a decrease in hearing thresholds. Placebo or corticosteroid treatment had no effect.

Treatment was exclusively TLMselective neck dissection and adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy. ResultsThree hundred ninety-one patients were treated by TLM; 142 cases were category pT2a, 127 were pT2b, and 122 were pT3. Median follow-up was 71 months.

Topical delivery of drugs to the paranasal sinuses is challenging, therefore the rate of surgery is high. This study investigates the delivery efficiency of a pulsating aerosol in comparison to a nasal pump spray to the sinuses and the nose in healthy volunteers and in CRS patients before and after sinus surgery. Methods: Tc-99m-DTPA pulsating aerosols were applied in eleven CRSsNP patients without nasal polyps before and after sinus surgery. In addition, pulsating aerosols were studied in comparison to nasal pump sprays in eleven healthy volunteers. Total nasal and frontal, maxillary and sphenoidal sinus aerosol deposition and lung penetration were assessed by anterior and lateral planar gamma camera imaging. Results: In healthy volunteers nasal pump sprays resulted in 100% nasal, non-significant sinus and lung deposition, while pulsating aerosols resulted 61.3+/-8.6% nasal deposition and 38.7% exit the other nostril. 9.7+/-2.0 % of the nasal dose penetrated into maxillary and sphenoidal sinuses. In CRS patients, total nasal deposition was 56.7+/-13.3% and 46.7+/-12.7% before and after sinus surgery, respectively (p<0.01). Accordingly, maxillary and sphenoidal sinus deposition was 4.8+/-2.2% and 8.2+/-3.8% of the nasal dose (p<0.01). Neither in healthy volunteers nor in CRS patients there was significant dose in the frontal sinuses. Conclusion: In contrast to nasal pump sprays, pulsating aerosols can deliver significant doses into posterior nasal spaces and paranasal sinuses, providing alternative therapy options before and after sinus surgery.

Study DesignRetrospective chart analysis of 10 patients (10 ears) with MHL and preexisting mastoid cavity, 18 patients (19 ears) with MHL alone and nine patients (10 ears) with SNHL treated in one tertiary referral center. MethodsVibrant Soundbridge implantation and obliteration in case a mastoid cavity existed previously. Pure tone audiometry (average air-bone gap, average functional gain), speech audiometry (Freiburg Monosyllabic Test) and complication rate were main outcome measures. ResultsPostoperative average air-bone gap was -15.121.2 dB in patients with MHL with mastoid cavity obliteration, -7.211.4 dB in patients with MHL without mastoid cavity, and -5.7 +/- 11.2 dB in patients with SNHL.
