Investigation on the Effect of Minimally Invasive Epidural Catheter Neurolysis in Patients with Lumbar Radiculopathy or a Specific Pseudoradicular Pain Syndrome
Vorgestellt wird eine retrospektive Analyse der minimalinvasiven Neurolyse mittels modifizierter Epiduralkathetertherapie (EKT) bei 59 Patienten mit lumbalem Wurzelreiz-/kompressionssyndrom oder pseudoradikulärem Schmerzsyndrom. Mittels visuell analoger Skalen wurde der Beschwerdeverlauf über 1 Jahr nach dem Eingriff erhoben. Die Ergebnisse belegen die Wirksamkeit der EKT auf Schmerzen (größter Benefit), Gefühlsstörungen, muskuläre Schwäche, Einschränkung der Gehstrecke und Bedarf an symptomatischen Therapien. Am stärksten profitierten Patienten mit Radikulopathien ohne motorisches Defizit bei größeren Bandscheibenläsionen, geringeren degenerativen Veränderungen und kürzerer Beschwerdeanamnese. Nicht sinnvoll erscheint die EKT beim Postdiskektomiesyndrom.The study presented here is a retrospective investigation on minimally invasive neurolysis invasive neurolysis using a modified epi-du-ral -catheter (mECT) approach in 59 patients with lumbar radiculopathy or pseudoradicular pain syndrome. Symptoms were recorded over 1 year post intervention using visual analog scales. The results demonstrate the efficacy of mECT on pain (greatest benefit), neurosensory disturbance, muscular weakness, limitation of walking distance and use of symptomatic therapies. The greatest benefit was observed in patients with large vertebral disc lesions, radiculopathy without motor deficiency, low-grade degenerative changes and short history of symptoms. The mECT is not indicated in patients with postdiscotomy syndrome

Arsenic-phosphorus interactions in the soil-plant-microbe system: dynamics of uptake, suppression and toxicity to plants
High arsenic (As) concentrations in the soil, water and plant systems can pose a direct health risk to humans and ecosystems. Phosphate (Pi) ions strongly influence As availability in soil, its uptake and toxicity to plants. Better understanding of As(V)-Pi interactions in soils and plants will facilitate a potential remediation strategy for As contaminated soils, reducing As uptake by crop plants and toxicity to human populations via manipulation of soil Pi content. However, the As(V)-Pi interactions in soil-plant systems are complex, leading to contradictory findings among different studies. Therefore, this review investigates the role of soil type, soil properties, minerals, Pi levels in soil and plant, Pi transporters, mycorrhizal association and microbial activities on As-Pi interactions in soils and hydroponics, and uptake by plants, elucidate the key mechanisms, identify key knowledge gaps and recommend new research directions. Although Pi suppresses As uptake by plants in hydroponic systems, in soils it could either increase or decrease As availability and toxicity to plants depending on the soil types, properties and charge characteristics. In soil, As(V) availability is typically increased by the addition of Pi. At the root surface, the Pi transport system has high affinity for Pi over As(V). However, Pi concentration in plant influences the As transport from roots to shoots. Mycorrhizal association may reduce As uptake via a physiological shift to the mycorrhizal uptake pathway, which has a greater affinity for Pi over As(V) than the root epidermal uptake pathway

Structural studies of T4S systems by electron microscopy
Abstract: Type IV secretion (T4S) systems are large dynamic nanomachines that transport DNA and/or proteins through the membranes of bacteria. Analysis of T4S system architecture is an extremely challenging task taking into account their multi protein organisation and lack of overall global symmetry. Nonetheless the last decade demonstrated an amazing progress achieved by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. In this review we present a structural analysis of this dynamic complex based on recent advances in biochemical, biophysical and structural studies
The role of open innovation in biomarker discovery
Precision medicine aims to treat diseases with special consideration for the individual biological variability. Novel biomarkers (BM) are needed to predict therapeutic responses and to allow for the selection of suitable patients for treatment with certain drugs. However, the identification and validation of appropriate BMs is challenging. Close col-laboration between different partners seems to be a key success factor. While the importance of partnerships and larger, well-established consortia in BM discovery such as the pharmaceutical industry and academic institutions is well un-derstood and has been investigated in the past, the use of open-innovation models, also known as ‘crowd sourcing for biomarkers’, is still in its infancy. Crowd sourcing comprises of a —usually via internet— request for problem solution to an open group of users in a kind of an ‘open call’. The community (crowd) is asked to provide solutions. Since the application of the crowd sourcing method offers the possibility to collect as many as possible novel ideas from a broad community with different expertise, this approach is particularly promising for BM development. In this article we de-scribe the first examples of open-innovation models, such as the ‘grants for targets’ (G4T) and biomarkers initiative ‘InnoCentive’ (innovation/incentive) platform. They may be a fruitful basis for collaborative BM development in the future
Lipo-Xenopeptide Polyplexes for CRISPR/Cas9 based Gene editing at ultra-low dose
Double pH-responsive xenopeptide carriers containing succinoyl tetraethylene pentamine (Stp) and lipo amino fatty acids (LAFs) were evaluated for CRISPR/Cas9 based genome editing. Different carrier topologies, variation of LAF/Stp ratios and LAF types as Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA polyplexes were screened in three different reporter cell lines using three different genomic targets (Pcsk9, eGFP, mdx exon 23). One U-shaped and three bundle (B2)-shaped lipo-xenopeptides exhibiting remarkable efficiencies were identified. Genome editing potency of top carriers were observed at sub-nanomolar EC50 concentrations of 0.4 nM sgRNA and 0.1 nM sgRNA for the top U-shape and top B2 carriers, respectively, even after incubation in full (≥ 90%) serum. Polyplexes co-delivering Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA with a single stranded DNA template for homology directed gene editing resulted in up to 38% conversion of eGFP to BFP in reporter cells. Top carriers were formulated as polyplexes or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for subsequent in vivo administration. Formulations displayed long-term physicochemical and functional stability upon storage at 4 °C. Importantly, intravenous administration of polyplexes or LNPs mediated in vivo editing of the dystrophin gene, triggering mRNA exon 23 splicing modulation in dystrophin-expressing cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and brain tissue
