    Abstract Introduction: Liver transplantation (LT) is potentially curative for patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, this procedure is usually reserved for patients with early tumor stages or after successful downstaging with local regional therapies. In patients with locally advanced HCC, current guidelines recommend locoregional and palliative systemic therapies for tumor stages Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) B and C, respectively.
    Case report: In this article, we describe a 63-year-old male patient with locally advanced HCC (BCLC C) and hepatitis C-associated cirrhosis. Following systemic treatment with the immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab and the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab, significant downstaging to a tumor stage within the Milan criteria was achieved after which LT was successfully performed.
    Conclusion: As more effective systemic therapies become available, LT and potential curative treatment could become feasible for selected patients with locally advanced HCC.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the world. The Austrian government implemented a lockdown on 16 March to contain further spread of the disease. We investigated the effects of lockdown on acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in Austria.
    Methods: We contacted 98 Austrian hospitals performing emergency endoscopies. The hospitals were asked to report upper GI endoscopies performed for recent hematemesis, melena, or both, and exhibiting endoscopically visible signs of bleeding. The study period was from 3 weeks before (calendar Week 9) to 3 weeks after (Week 14) initiation of the lockdown.
    Results: 61 % of Austrian hospitals, and importantly all major state hospitals, responded. A total of 575 upper GI bleedings occurred during the 3 weeks before and 341 during the 3 weeks after initiation of lockdown (40.7 % reduction). There was a 54.6 % decline in nonvariceal bleeding events at Week 14 compared with Week 9 (89 vs. 196), whereas rates of variceal hemorrhage did not change (15 vs. 17).
    Conclusions: National lockdown resulted in a dramatic decrease in upper GI bleeding events in Austrian hospitals.

    Abstract Background: Therapeutic options are limited for advanced, metastatic biliary tract cancer. The pivotal NAPOLI-1 trial demonstrated the superior clinical benefit of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI) in gemcitabine-pretreated patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; however, the antitumor activity of Nal-IRI in biliary tract cancer is unknown. This is the first report describing the efficacy of Nal-IRI in biliary tract cancer.
    Methods: In this multicenter retrospective cohort analysis, we identified patients with metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma who were treated with Nal-IRI in combination with 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid following tumor progression under standard therapy at one of the study centers between May 2016 and January 2019. We assessed disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
    Results: There were 14 patients; the median age at the time of diagnosis and the median age at the initiation of Nal-IRI were 59.3 and 60.0 years, respectively. Nal-IRI in combination with 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid was administered as second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-line treatment in 6 (43%), 5 (36%), 2 (14%), and 1 (7%) patient with metastatic disease, respectively. The objective DCR with Nal-IRI was 50% (7/14 patients). Six patients (43%) had partial response, and one patient (7%) had stable disease. Progressive disease was observed in seven patients. The median PFS and median OS following Nal-IRI initiation were 10.6 and 24.1 months, respectively.
    Conclusions: This retrospective analysis provides the first evidence that Nal-IRI might exhibit a clinical meaningful antitumor activity in metastatic biliary tract cancer.

    Abstract Background and study aims COVID-19 disease has rapidly spread all over the world. The Austrian government has implemented a lockdown to contain further spread of this disease on March 16th. We investigated the effects of lockdown on acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in Austria. Patients and methods We contacted 98 Austrian hospitals performing emergency endoscopies. The hospitals were asked to report upper GI endoscopies performed because of recent hematemesis, melena, or both and exhibiting endoscopically visible signs of bleeding. Investigated time points included three weeks before and after lockdown. Results 61% of Austrian hospitals and importantly all major state hospitals responded. 575 upper GI bleedings occurred in the three weeks before and 341 after lockdown (40.7% reduction). When comparing the first and last calendar week of investigation we observed an almost 55% decline in nonvariceal bleeding events (calendar week 9 versus 14: 196 versus 89) whereas rates of variceal hemorrhage did not change (calendar week 9 versus 14: 17 versus 15). Conclusions National lockdown resulted in a dramatic decrease in upper gastrointestinal bleeding events.

    Abstract Background and aims: Faecal biomarkers, particularly calprotectin [FCAL], have become important diagnostic and monitoring tools in inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD]. As FCAL is mainly produced by neutrophils, we hypothesised that faecal lipocalin-2 [FLCN2], also expressed by intestinal epithelial cells [IEC], could be beneficial in specific clinical situations.
    Methods: We compared clinical and endoscopic activity-related correlations between FCAL and FLCN2, assayed from the same sample, in a cohort of 132 patients (72 Crohn's disease [CD]) and 40 controls. A detailed analysis of cellular origins was done by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. To evaluate the potential to detect low-grade inflammation, we studied faecal and tissue concentrations in a cohort with clinical, endoscopic, and histological remission.
    Results: There was an excellent correlation between FCAL and FLCN2 [rS = 0.87, p <0.001] and comparable sensitivity and specificity to predict clinical and endoscopic disease activity, with optimal thresholds for endoscopic activity of 73.4 and 1.98 µg/g in ulcerative colitis [UC] and 78.4 and 0.56 µg/g in Crohn's disease for FCAL and FLCN2, respectively. Strong co-expression of both proteins was observed in granulocytes and macrophages. IECs expressed LCN2 but not CAL. In our IBD cohort in deep remission neither FCAL nor FLCN2 was different from controls; yet mucosal LCN2 but not CAL expressions remained elevated in the rectum of UC and the ileum of CD patients.
    Conclusions: This study corroborates the diagnostic equivalence of FLCN2 and FCAL in IBD. In remission, persistent mucosal overexpression renders LCN2 an attractive candidate for molecular inflammation warranting further investigation.
