    Abstract Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that functions as an immune checkpoint inhibitor. It is an FDA-approved immunotherapy used to treat various malignancies. With its wide use in cancer therapy, there are many known side effects. It is a common cause of endocrinopathies such as thyroid disease and adrenal insufficiency (AI). AI has been most commonly reported during active treatment cycles with pembrolizumab, as well as quickly after the termination of treatment. However, we describe a case of pembrolizumab-induced AI with an onset at eight months following the discontinuation of treatment and discuss prompt treatment when AI is diagnosed.

    Abstract Background/objective: Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage is a rare cause of adrenal insufficiency. Cases have been reported of acute adrenal crisis with bilateral adrenal hemorrhage during acute coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). Our objective was to report a delayed presentation of acute adrenal crisis with bilateral adrenal hemorrhage 2 months after COVID-19.
    Case report: An 89-year-old man who was hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia 2 months prior presented with lethargy. He was disorientated and hypotensive to 70/50 mm Hg without improvement with intravenous fluids. According to his family, since his previous hospitalization for COVID-19, his mental status had continued to deteriorate, and he was no longer able to perform activities of daily living. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed bilateral heterogeneous enlargement of the adrenal glands. Laboratory values were significant for an am cortisol level of 8.42 mcg/dL, a sodium level of 134 mEq/L, and a bicarbonate level of 17 mEq/L. He was treated intravenously with hydrocortisone 100 mg and showed rapid improvement.
    Discussion: It has been shown that COVID-19 disease may cause an increased risk of bleeding or thromboembolism. The exact frequency of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage secondary to COVID-19 is unknown. Although there are a handful of cases reported, there are none to our knowledge with a delayed presentation, as exhibited in our patient.
    Conclusion: The patient's presentation was consistent with acute adrenal crisis due to bilateral adrenal hemorrhage from prior COVID-19 disease. We aimed to highlight the importance of clinicians being aware of adrenal hemorrhage and adrenal insufficiency as a possible delayed consequence in patients with a history of COVID-19.

    Abstract Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) is a protease inhibitor that regulates extracellular matrix (ECM) stability and turnover. Here, we show that A2M is expressed by endothelial cells (ECs) from human eye choroid. We demonstrate that retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-conditioned medium induces A2M expression specifically in ECs. Experiments using chemical inhibitors, blocking antibodies, and recombinant proteins revealed a key role of VEGF-A in RPE-mediated A2M induction in ECs. Furthermore, incubation of ECs with RPE-conditioned medium reduces matrix metalloproteinase-2 gelatinase activity of culture supernatants, which is partially restored after A2M knockdown in ECs. We propose that dysfunctional RPE or choroidal blood vessels, as observed in retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, may disrupt the crosstalk mechanism we describe here leading to alterations in the homeostasis of choroidal ECM, Bruch's membrane and visual function.

    Abstract Objective: To determine which vitamin D dose, formulation, and schedule most effectively and safely achieves a 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) level of >30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L).
    Methods: In this prospective study, 100 subjects from the NY Harbor HCS Brooklyn Campus, ages 25 to 85 years, with 25(OH)D <30 ng/mL (<75 nmol/L), were randomized into four groups: cholecalciferol (D3) 2,000 international units (IU) daily; D3 3,000 IU daily; ergocalciferol (D2) 50,000 IU weekly; and D2 50,000 IU twice weekly. All were supplemented with 500 mg calcium carbonate daily. 25(OH)D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), urinary calcium, urinary creatinine, and other variables were measured during 7 visits over 12 months.
    Results: All groups achieved a mean vitamin D level >30 ng/mL (>75 nmol/L) by visit 4 (5 months). Those receiving 50,000 IU D2 twice weekly displayed the most rapid and robust response, with 25(OH)D reaching >30 ng/mL (>75 nmol/L) after only 1 month and plateauing at 60 ng/mL (150 nmol/L) by 7 months. Although no statistically significant difference was seen in mean 25(OH)D levels between groups 1 through 3, subjects on 50,000 IU D2 weekly more consistently showed higher mean levels than either groups 1 or 2. No episodes of significant hypercalcemia occurred. There was a negative correlation in mean PTH levels and mean vitamin D levels in group 4 and all groups combined.
    Conclusion: All four schedules of vitamin D replacement were effective in safely achieving and maintaining 25(OH)D >30 ng/mL (>75 nmol/L). D2 50,000 IU twice weekly provided the most rapid attainment and highest mean levels of vitamin D.

    Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is marked by airway inflammation and airspace enlargement (emphysema) leading to airflow obstruction and eventual respiratory failure. Microvasculature dysfunction is associated with COPD/emphysema. However, it is not known if abnormal endothelium drives COPD/emphysema pathology and/or if correcting endothelial dysfunction has therapeutic potential. Here, we show the centrality of endothelial cells to the pathogenesis of COPD/emphysema in human tissue and using an elastase-induced murine model of emphysema. Airspace disease showed significant endothelial cell loss, and transcriptional profiling suggested an apoptotic, angiogenic, and inflammatory state. This alveolar destruction was rescued by intravenous delivery of healthy lung endothelial cells. Leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) was a driver of emphysema, and deletion of Lrg1 from endothelial cells rescued vascular rarefaction and alveolar regression. Hence, targeting endothelial cell biology through regenerative methods and/or inhibition of the LRG1 pathway may represent strategies of immense potential for the treatment of COPD/emphysema.

    Abstract Introduction: Postoperative delirium (POD) is seen in approximately 15% of elderly patients and is related to poorer outcomes. In 2017, the Federal Joint Committee (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss) introduced a 'quality contract' (QC) as a new instrument to improve healthcare in Germany. One of the four areas for improvement of in-patient care is the 'Prevention of POD in the care of elderly patients' (QC-POD), as a means to reduce the risk of developing POD and its complications.The Institute for Quality Assurance and Transparency in Health Care identified gaps in the in-patient care of elderly patients related to the prevention, screening and treatment of POD, as required by consensus-based and evidence-based delirium guidelines. This paper introduces the QC-POD protocol, which aims to implement these guidelines into the clinical routine. There is an urgent need for well-structured, standardised and interdisciplinary pathways that enable the reliable screening and treatment of POD. Along with effective preventive measures, these concepts have a considerable potential to improve the care of elderly patients.
    Methods and analysis: The QC-POD study is a non-randomised, pre-post, monocentric, prospective trial with an interventional concept following a baseline control period. The QC-POD trial was initiated on 1 April 2020 between Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the German health insurance company BARMER and will end on 30 June 2023.
    Inclusion criteria: patients 70 years of age or older that are scheduled for a surgical procedure requiring anaesthesia and insurance with the QC partner (BARMER). Exclusion criteria included patients with a language barrier, moribund patients and those unwilling or unable to provide informed consent. The QC-POD protocol provides perioperative intervention at least two times per day, with delirium screening and non-pharmacological preventive measures.
    Ethics and dissemination: This protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, Germany (EA1/054/20). The results will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and presented at national and international conferences.

    Abstract Background: Recent evidence suggests that hydrogen sulfide is capable of mitigating the degree of cellular damage associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether it is protective in skeletal muscle.
    Methods: This study used both in vitro (cultured myotubes subjected to sequential anoxia and normoxia) and in vivo (mouse hind-limb ischemia followed by reperfusion) models in which hydrogen sulfide (0 to 1000 μM) was delivered before the onset of oxygen deficiency. Injury score and apoptotic index were determined by analysis of specimens stained with hematoxylin and eosin and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, respectively.
    Results: In vitro, hydrogen sulfide reduced the apoptotic index by as much as 99 percent (p=0.001), with optimal protection conferred by raising intravascular hydrogen sulfide to 10 μM. In vivo, 10 μM hydrogen sulfide delivered before 3 hours of hind-limb ischemia followed by 3 hours of reperfusion resulted in protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced cellular changes, as evidenced by significant decreases in injury score and apoptotic index (by as much as 91 percent; p=0.001). These findings were consistent at 4 weeks after injury and reperfusion.
    Conclusion: These findings confirm that the preischemic delivery of hydrogen sulfide limits ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced cellular damage in myotubes and skeletal muscle and suggests that, when given in the appropriate dose, this molecule may have significant therapeutic applications in multiple clinical scenarios.

    Abstract Topical treatment of superficial wounds has many advantages including decreased cost and increased ease of application compared with systemic treatments. Many of the advantages, however, are lost when it is necessary for repeated doses of topical medications to be given over an extended period of time. Therefore, a drug-delivery vehicle that delivers biologically appropriate doses in a sustained fashion would prove valuable. In this study, an alginate hydrogel scaffold impregnated with the angiogenic chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 was used to provide targeted, though short-term, delivery directly into the wound bed. Wounds were created on the dorsum of mice, and either a stromal-derived factor-1-impregnated or a saline-impregnated scaffold was applied. Wounds were explanted after 1, 3, 7 days, wound area was measured, and histology and immunohistochemistry for endothelial markers were performed. The remaining wound area in stromal-derived factor-1-treated wounds vs. controls was not significant 1 day after wounding (96.7 ± 0.1 vs. 97.5 ± 1.1%, p=0.317), but was significant after 3 days postwounding (46.7 ± 0.1 vs. 82.3 ± 2.4%, p=0.046) and 7 days postwounding (2.3 ± 1.3 vs. 32.0 ± 4.0%, p=0.049). Immunohistochemistry revealed a greater degree of endothelial cell invasion into the wound bed infiltration compared with controls. The results of this study suggest significant clinical promise for our hydrogel-delivery vehicle in the treatment of wounds.

    Abstract Bone marrow-derived cells contribute to physiological and pathological vascular remodeling throughout ontogenesis and adult life. During tissue regeneration and tumor growth, the release of cytokines and chemokines mediates the recruitment of hematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells that contribute to the assembly of neovessels. Current evidence implies that platelets contribute structurally and instructively to vascular remodeling. Platelets adhere almost immediately to exposed or activated endothelium, and they are major storage and delivery vehicles for pro- and antiangiogenic growth factors including VEGF-A and thrombospondin (TSP), and cytokines and chemokines, such as stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF-1). By site-specific deployment of these factors, platelets orchestrate the local angiogenic stimulus within a tissue and direct the recruitment and differentiation of circulating bone marrow-derived cells. These insights have profound clinical implications; inhibition of platelet-deployed growth factors or their receptors may be an effective strategy to block tumor growth, whereas activation of these pathways may be used to accelerate revascularization and tissue regeneration.
