    Abstract Many autoimmune diseases are characterized by B cells that mistakenly recognize autoantigens and produce antibodies toward self-proteins. Current therapies aim to suppress the immune system, which is associated with adverse effects. An attractive and more specific approach is to target the autoreactive B cells selectively through their unique B-cell receptor (BCR) using an autoantigen coupled to an effector molecule able to modulate the B-cell activity. The cellular response upon antigen binding, such as receptor internalization, impacts the choice of effector molecule. In this study, we systematically investigated how a panel of well-defined mono-, di-, tetra-, and octavalent peptide antigens affects the binding, activation, and internalization of the BCR. To test our constructs, we used a B-cell line expressing a BCR against citrullinated antigens, the main autoimmune epitope in rheumatoid arthritis. We found that the dimeric antigen construct has superior targeting properties compared to those of its monomeric and multimeric counterparts, indicating that it can serve as a basis for future antigen-specific targeting studies for the treatment of RA.

    Abstract Aim: Up to 50% of the patients experience complications after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. Improved preoperative physical and nutritional status can enhance clinical outcomes and reduce postoperative complications. This retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study assessed the impact of a four-week multimodal prehabilitation program on postoperative complications, unplanned readmissions, length of stay, and mortality in elective high-risk CRC patients.
    Method: Elective high-risk CRC patients, defined as ASA ≥3 or ≥65yr, who attended the multimodal prehabilitation program (prehabilitation-group) were compared to a historical cohort receiving standard care (control-group). Differences in outcomes between these groups were tested using Fisher's Exact and Mann-Whitney U test. To adjust for confounding, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. The main study outcome was the occurrence of postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included unplanned readmissions, length of hospital stay, and mortality.
    Results: 351 patients were included (n = 275 control-group, n = 76 prehabilitation-group). The complication rate was lower in the prehabilitation group compared to the control group, 26.3% (n = 20) versus 40% (n = 110) (p = .032). There were fewer unplanned readmissions in the prehabilitation group compared to the control group, 5.3% (n = 4) versus 16.4% (n = 45), p = .014. Median hospital days of stay was 1 day shorter for the prehabilitation-group (p = .004), mortality did not significantly differ between the groups.
    Conclusion: This study shows that the used multimodal prehabilitation program leads to a reduction of medical postoperative complications, unplanned readmissions, and shortens the median hospital stay compared with standard care in high-risk CRC patients undergoing elective CRC surgery.

    Abstract (1) When the intracellular amino acid pool is prelabelled and subsequently chased in non-radioactive medium, the radioactivity of the amino acid pool is not found to have been incorporated into protein. (2) Leucine transport into Hela cells is reduced in the presence of 10 mM valine in the medium. This results in a lower specific radioactivity of leucine in the intracellular amino acid pool. However, neither the overall rate of protein synthesis nor the incorporation of radioactive leucine into protein is affected. From these experiments it is concluded that incoming amino acids entering the intracellular amino acid pool are not used for de novo synthesis of protein.

    Abstract Aortic pulse wave velocity has emerged as an important predictor of cardiovascular events, but data on ethnic differences in pulse wave velocity remain scarce. We explored differences in pulse wave velocity between people of Asian and African ancestry. Data were used from the cross-sectional Healthy Life in Suriname (HELISUR) study. Pulse wave velocity was estimated oscillometrically with the Arteriograph. We included 353 Asians and 364 Africans, aged respectively 44.9 (SD 13.5) and 42.8 (SD 14.1) years (p = 0.05). Crude median PWV was higher in Asians than in Africans (8.1 [IQR 6.9-10.1] m/s vs. 7.7 [IQR 6.5-9.3] m/s, p = 0.03), which was mainly attributable to an increased PWV in Asians ≥ 50 years (10.1 [IQR 8.7-11.8] m/s vs. 9.1 [IQR 7.9-11.3] m/s in Africans ≥50 years, p < 0.01). After adjustment for age and MAP in multivariable linear regression, Asians had a 1.044 [95% CI 1.019-1.072] m/s higher PWV compared to Africans. Additional adjustment for sex, glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, BMI, and waist circumference did not substantially change the difference in pulse wave velocity between Asians and Africans (+1.044 [95% CI 1.016-1.074] m/s for Asians vs. Africans). In conclusion, persons of Asian ancestry have a higher pulse wave velocity than those of African ancestry. This persisted after adjustment for important cardiovascular risk parameters, including age and blood pressure. The higher PWV found in Asians could be consistent with their increased coronary heart disease risk.

    Abstract The literature of the last 4 years confirms that the anti-CCP2 test is a very useful marker for the early and specific diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The anti-CCP2 test is very specific for RA (95-99%) and has sensitivity comparable to that of the rheumatoid factor (70-75%). The antibodies can be detected very early in the disease and can be used as an indicator for the progression and prognosis of RA. In this review, these interesting properties and some future possibilities of this diagnostic test are discussed.
