    Abstract Background: The impact of changes in portal pressure before and after liver resection (defined as ΔHVPG) on postoperative kidney function remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effect of ΔHVPG on (i) the incidence of postoperative AKI and (ii) the renin-angiotensin system (RAAS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity.
    Methods: We included 30 patients undergoing partial liver resection. Our primary outcome was postoperative AKI according to KDIGO criteria. For our secondary outcome we assessed the plasma renin, aldosterone, noradrenaline, adrenaline, dopamine and vasopressin concentrations prior and 2 h after induction of anaesthesia, on the first and fifth postoperative day. HVPG was measured prior and immediately after liver resection.
    Results: ΔHVPG could be measured in 21 patients with 12 patients HVPG showing increases in HVPG (∆HVPG≥1 mmHg) while 9 patients remained stable. AKI developed in 7/12 of patients with increasing HVPG, but only in 2/9 of patients with stable ΔHVPG (p = 0.302). Noradrenalin levels were significantly higher in patients with increasing ΔHVPG than in patients with stable ΔHVPG. (p = 0.009). Biomarkers reflecting RAAS and SNS activity remained similar in patients with increasing vs. stable ΔHVPG.
    Conclusions: Patients with increased HVPG had higher postoperative creatinine concentrations, however, the incidence of AKI was similar between patients with increased versus stable HVPG.

    Abstract Targeting Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a promising therapeutic strategy for aberrant ALK-expressing malignancies including neuroblastoma, but resistance to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK TKI) is a distinct possibility necessitating drug combination therapeutic approaches. Using high-throughput, genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens, we identify miR-1304-5p loss as a desensitizer to ALK TKIs in aberrant ALK-expressing neuroblastoma; inhibition of miR-1304-5p decreases, while mimics of this miRNA increase the sensitivity of neuroblastoma cells to ALK TKIs. We show that miR-1304-5p targets NRAS, decreasing cell viability via induction of apoptosis. It follows that the farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI) lonafarnib in addition to ALK TKIs act synergistically in neuroblastoma, inducing apoptosis in vitro. In particular, on combined treatment of neuroblastoma patient derived xenografts with an FTI and an ALK TKI complete regression of tumour growth is observed although tumours rapidly regrow on cessation of therapy. Overall, our data suggests that combined use of ALK TKIs and FTIs, constitutes a therapeutic approach to treat high risk neuroblastoma although prolonged therapy is likely required to prevent relapse.

    Abstract Zebrafish xenotransplantation models are increasingly applied for phenotypic drug screening to identify small compounds for precision oncology. Larval zebrafish xenografts offer the opportunity to perform drug screens at high-throughput in a complex in vivo environment. However, the full potential of the larval zebrafish xenograft model has not yet been realized and several steps of the drug screening workflow still await automation to increase throughput. Here, we present a robust workflow for drug screening in zebrafish xenografts using high-content imaging. We established embedding methods for high-content imaging of xenografts in 96-well format over consecutive days. In addition, we provide strategies for automated imaging and analysis of zebrafish xenografts including automated tumor cell detection and tumor size analysis over time. We also compared commonly used injection sites and cell labeling dyes and show specific site requirements for tumor cells from different entities. We demonstrate that our setup allows us to investigate proliferation and response to small compounds in several zebrafish xenografts ranging from pediatric sarcomas and neuroblastoma to glioblastoma and leukemia. This fast and cost-efficient assay enables the quantification of anti-tumor efficacy of small compounds in large cohorts of a vertebrate model system in vivo. Our assay may aid in prioritizing compounds or compound combinations for further preclinical and clinical investigations.

    Abstract Laser melting experiments were carried out with the MOONRISE payload, installed on the mobile manipulator, MIRA3D. The MOONRISE payload was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of additive processing of lunar regolith with the help of lasers on the Moon within a lunar surface mission in the next years. The development of hardware for the flight to the moon is well advanced and, if successful, would pave the way for the use of laser melting for production of components from regolith. The aim of the experiments described in this article was to test the planned scenario on the Moon, especially the interaction between laser payload, manipulator, and soil surface, and to identify suitable process parameters for production of two-dimensional (2D) objects. The ability to produce 2D objects is an important intermediate step on the way to produce large three-dimensional structures such as habitats, walls, or foundations. During the experiments, specimens with a size of ∼20 × 20 × 4 mm were repeatedly produced. As analog material, two synthetic lunar soils produced with the modular regolith simulant systems from Technische Universität Braunschweig (TUBS) were used. The experiments were conducted under Earth gravity and atmospheric conditions. This article describes the hardware used, procedure for carrying out the experiments, and properties of the produced samples.

    Abstract Background: Elevated postoperative N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations are predictive for cardiac adverse events in noncardiac surgery. Studies indicate that supplemental oxygen decreases sympathetic nerve activity and might, therefore, improve cardiovascular function. Thus, we will test the effect of perioperative supplemental oxygen administration on NT-proBNP release after surgery.
    Methods/design: We will conduct a single-center, double-blinded, randomized trial at the Medical University of Vienna, including 260 patients with increased cardiac risk factors undergoing moderate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive 80% versus 30% oxygen during surgery and for 2 h postoperatively. The primary outcome will be the difference in maximum NT-proBNP release after surgery. As secondary outcomes we will assess the effect of supplemental oxygen on postoperative maximum troponin T concentration, oxidation-reduction potential, von Willebrand factor concentration and perioperative fluid requirements. We will perform outcome measurements 2 h after surgery, on postoperative day 1 and on postoperative day 3. The NT-proBNP concentration and the oxidation-reduction potential will also be measured within 72 h before discharge.
    Discussion: Our trial should determine whether perioperative supplemental oxygen administration will reduce the postoperative release of NT-proBNP in patients with preoperative increased cardiovascular risk factors undergoing noncardiac surgery.

    Abstract Study objective: Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the development and aggravation of cardiovascular diseases. The influence of intraoperative inspired oxygen concentrations on oxidative stress is still not entirely known. Therefore, we evaluated in this sub-study if supplemental oxygen affects the oxidation-reduction potential in patients at-risk for cardiovascular complications undergoing moderate- to high-risk major abdominal surgery.
    Design: Sub-study of a prospective parallel-arm double-blinded single-center superiority randomized trial.
    Setting: Operating room and postoperative recovery area.
    Intervention: Administration of 0.8 FiO
    Measurements: The primary outcome was the static oxidation-reduction potential (sORP) and the oxidation-reduction potential capacity (cORP) between both groups. The secondary outcome was the trend of sORP and cORP in the overall study population. We assessed sORP and cORP before induction of anesthesia, 2 h after induction of anesthesia, within 2 h after surgery and on the first and third postoperative day.
    Main results: 258 patients were analyzed. 128 patients were randomly assigned to the 80% oxygen group and 130 patients were randomly assigned to the 30% oxygen group. Postoperative sORP values did not differ significantly between the 80% and 30% oxygen group (effect estimate: -1.162 mV,95% CI: -2.584 to 0.260; p = 0.109). On average, we observed a change in sORP of 5.288 mV (95% CI:4.633 to 5.913, p < 0.001) per day. cORP values did not differ significantly between the 80% and 30% oxygen group (effect estimate: -0.015μC, (95%CI: -0.062 to 0.032; p = 0.524). On average, we observed a change in cORP values of -0.170μC (95%CI: -0.194 to -0.147, p < 0.001) per day.
    Conclusion: In contrast to previous reports, we could not find any evidence of an association between intraoperative supplemental oxygen and perioperative oxidative stress assessed by sORP and cORP.

    Abstract Study objective: Supplemental oxygen is a simple method to improve arterial oxygen saturation and might therefore improve myocardial oxygenation. Thus, we tested whether intraoperative supplemental oxygen reduces the risk of impaired cardiac function diagnosed with NT-proBNP and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) diagnosed with high-sensitivity Troponin T.
    Design: Parallel-arm double-blinded single-centre superiority randomized trial.
    Setting: Operating room and postoperative recovery area.
    Patients: 260 patients over the age of 45 years at-risk for cardiovascular complications undergoing major abdominal surgery.
    Intervention: Administration of 80% versus 30% oxygen throughout surgery and for the first two postoperative hours.
    Measurements: The primary outcome was the postoperative maximum NT-proBNP concentration in both groups, which was assessed within 2 h after surgery, and on the first and third postoperative day. The secondary outcome was the incidence of MINS in both groups.
    Main results: 128 patients received 80% oxygen and 130 received 30% oxygen throughout surgery and for the first two postoperative hours. There was no significant difference in the median postoperative maximum NT-proBNP concentration between the 80% and the 30% oxygen group (989 pg.mL
    Conclusions: There was no beneficial effect of perioperative supplemental oxygen administration on postoperative NT-proBNP concentration and MINS. It seems likely that supplemental oxygen has no effect on the release of NT-proBNP in patients at-risk for cardiovascular complications undergoing major abdominal surgery.

    Abstract The RNA polymerase associated with RpoS transcribes many genes related to stationary phase and stress survival in Escherichia coli. The DNA sequence of rpoS exhibits a high degree of polymorphism. A C to T transition at position 99 of the rpoS ORF, which results in a premature amber stop codon often found in E. coli strains. The rpoSam mutant expresses a truncated and partially functional RpoS protein. Here, we present new evidence regarding rpoS polymorphism in common laboratory E. coli strains. One out of the six tested strains carries the rpoSam allele, but expressed a full-length RpoS protein owing to the presence of an amber supressor mutation. The rpoSam allele was transferred to a non-suppressor background and tested for RpoS level, stress resistance and for the expression of RpoS and sigma70-dependent genes. Overall, the rpoSam strain displayed an intermediate phenotype regarding stress resistance and the expression of σ(S)-dependent genes when compared to the wild-type rpoS(+) strain and to the rpoS null mutant. Surprisingly, overexpression of rpoSam had a differential effect on the expression of the σ(70)-dependent genes phoA and lacZ that, respectively, encode the enzymes alkaline phosphatase and β-galactosidase. The former was enhanced while the latter was inhibited by high levels of RpoSam.
