    Abstract In this case report, a 70-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with respiratory tract symptoms and a fever, and he was isolated, suspected of COVID-19. A chest radiograph showed bilateral consolidations, and subsequent chest CT scan revealed bilateral and peripheral ground glass opacities, which are the most common radiological manifestations of COVID-19. The characteristic radiological findings can be exploited in the diagnosis of COVID-19, and radiologists should have knowledge of the usual manifestations of COVID-19, as they may play a role in early detection and diagnosis of the disease.

    Abstract Cryoablation is successfully performed as a treatment for small renal cancers. The occurrence of a solitary renal metastasis from lung cancer is an uncommon finding entailing a limited knowledge on the choice of its optimal treatment. We present two patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, who were initially treated with curatively intended chemoradiotherapy. In the follow-up period, a non-symptomatic solitary renal metastasis was found in both patients. Both received CT-guided cryoablation of their renal metastases. One patient was successfully treated with no relapse, whereas the other patient received re-cryoablation due to development of a new renal metastasis. In both patients, no residual tumour was found at the 3 months' follow-up examination. Whether the minimally invasive procedure of cryoablation is a feasible treatment in the management of solitary renal metastases from lung cancer is still undetermined. The recurrence and incomplete treatment are concerns requiring further research.

    Abstract Methotrexate/6-mercaptopurine maintenance therapy improves acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) outcome. Cytotoxicity is mediated by DNA incorporation of thioguanine nucleotides (DNA-TG). We investigated the association of DNA-TG to relapse risk in 1 910 children and young adults with non-high risk ALL. In a cohort-stratified Cox regression analysis adjusted for sex, age, and white cell count at diagnosis, the relapse-specific hazard ratio (HRa) per 100 fmol/μg increase in weighted mean DNA-TG (

    Abstract Maintenance therapy containing methotrexate and 6-mercapto - purine is essential to cure acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Cytotoxicity is elicited by incorporation of thioguanine nucleotides into DNA (DNA-TG), and higher leukocyte DNA-TG is associated with increased relapse-free survival. As 6-thioguanine provides 6- fold higher cytosolic levels of thioguanine nucleotides than does 6- mercapto purine, we added low-dose 6-thioguanine to methotrexate/6- mercapto purine maintenance therapy to explore if this combination results in significantly higher DNA-TG. The target population of the "Thiopurine Enhanced ALL Maintenance therapy" (TEAM) study was 30 patients with non-high-risk ALL, aged 1-45 years on methotrexate/6-mercaptopurine maintenance therapy receiving no other systemic chemotherapy. Incremental doses of 6-thioguanine were added to methotrexate/6-mercaptopurine maintenance therapy (starting 6-thioguanine dose: 2.5 mg/m2/day, maximum: 12.5 mg/m2/day). The primary endpoint was DNA-TG increments. Thirty-four patients were included, and 30 patients completed maintenance therapy according to the TEAM strategy. Of these 30 patients, 26 (87%) tolerated 10.0-12.5 mg/m2/day as the maximum 6-thioguanine dose. TEAM resulted in significantly higher DNA-TG levels compared to those in both TEAM patients before their inclusion in TEAM (on average 251 fmol/mg DNA higher [95% confidence interval: 160-341; P<0.0001]), and with historical patients receiving standard methotrexate/6-mercapto - purine maintenance therapy (on average 272 fmol/mg DNA higher [95% confidence interval: 147-398; P<0.0001]). TEAM did not increase myelotoxicity or hepatotoxicity. In conclusion, TEAM is an innovative and feasible approach to improve maintenance therapy and results in higher DNA-TG levels without inducing additional toxicity. It may therefore be an effective strategy to reduce the risk of ALL relapse through increased DNA-TG. This will be tested in a randomized ALLTogether-1 substudy.

    Abstract Microglia respond to focal cerebral ischemia by increasing their production of the neuromodulatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor, which exists both as membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor and as cleaved soluble tumor necrosis factor forms. We previously demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor knockout mice display increased lesion volume after focal cerebral ischemia, suggesting that tumor necrosis factor is neuroprotective in experimental stroke. Here, we extend our studies to show that mice with intact membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor, but no soluble tumor necrosis factor, display reduced infarct volumes at one and five days after stroke. This was associated with improved functional outcome after experimental stroke. No changes were found in the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor and tumor necrosis factor-related genes (TNFR1, TNFR2, TACE), pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) or chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL10, CCL2); however, protein expression of TNF, IL-1β, IL-6 and CXCL1 was reduced in membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor(Δ/Δ) compared to membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor(wt/wt) mice one day after experimental stroke. This was paralleled by reduced MHCII expression and a reduction in macrophage infiltration in the ipsilateral cortex of membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor(Δ/Δ) mice. Collectively, these findings indicate that membrane-anchored tumor necrosis factor mediates the protective effects of tumor necrosis factor signaling in experimental stroke, and therapeutic strategies specifically targeting soluble tumor necrosis factor could be beneficial in clinical stroke therapy.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate long-term complications and survival in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) referred to a Danish transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) centre.
    Methods: Twenty-one consecutive patients from 1997-2008 were retrospectively included [15 women and 6 men, median age 40 years (range 17-66 years)]. Eighteen Danish patients came from the 1.8 million catchment population of Aarhus University Hospital and three patients were referred from Scandinavian hospitals. Management consisted of tests for underlying haematological, endocrinological, or hypercoagulative disorders parallel to initiation of specific treatment of BCS.
    Results: BCS was mainly caused by thrombophilic (33%) or myeloproliferative (19%) disorders. Forty-three percents had symptoms for less than one week with ascites as the most prevalent finding. Fourteen (67%) were treated with TIPS and 7 (33%) were manageable with treatment of the underlying condition and diuretics. The median follow-up time for the TIPS-treated patients was 50 mo (range 15-117 mo), and none required subsequent liver transplantation. Ascites control was achieved in all TIPS patients with a marked reduction in the dose of diuretics. A total of 14 TIPS revisions were needed, mostly of uncovered stents. Two died during follow-up: One non-TIPS patient worsened after 6 mo and died in relation to transplantation, and one TIPS patient died 4 years after the TIPS-procedure, unrelated to BCS.
    Conclusion: In our BCS cohort TIPS-treated patients have near-complete survival, reduced need for diuretics and compared to historical data a reduced need for liver transplantation.
