    Abstract Background: Harmonic imaging (HI) is a relatively new US method. Its usefulness in children has yet to be determined.
    Objective: To evaluate the value of HI in urinary tract imaging of infants and children.
    Materials and methods: The bladder and kidneys of 29 unselected patients, aged 2 months to 12.8 years (mean, 6.8 years), were examined from ventral and dorsal approaches using conventional (= fundamental) imaging (FI) (6.5 and 3.4 MHz) and HI (3.3 MHz). In addition to global image quality, visualization of bladder wall, retrovesical space, renal contrast to liver/spleen, the pelvicalyceal systems, and the difference between cortex and medulla were assessed. Parameters were rated by two independent examiners and statistical analysis was performed.
    Results: There were significant differences between the three imaging settings for all parameters studied (P<0.003). With the dorsal approach, HI was superior to FI for all parameters analysed (P<0.05). Using the ventral approach, a significant improvement of imaging with HI was found for the bladder and the renal pelvis (P<0.02).
    Conclusions: HI is a useful additional tool for imaging the urinary tract in children of all ages. The method particularly improves visualization of the bladder and the kidney from a dorsal approach.

    Abstract Transforming growth factor (TGF) beta plays an important role in normal pulmonary morphogenesis and function and in the pathogenesis of lung disease. The effect of TGFbeta is regulated via a selective pathway of TGFbeta synthesis and signaling that involves activation of latent TGFbeta, specific TGFbeta receptors, and intracellular signaling via Smad molecules. All three isoforms of TGFbeta are expressed at high levels during normal lung development, being particularly important for branching morphogenesis and epithelial cell differentiation with maturation of surfactant synthesis. Small amounts of TGFbeta are still present in the adult lung, and TGFbeta is involved in normal tissue repair following lung injury. However, in a variety of forms of pulmonary pathology, the expression of TGFbeta is increased. These include chronic lung disease of prematurity as well as several forms of acute and chronic adult lung disease. While TGFbeta1 appears to be the predominant isoform involved, elevated levels of all three isoforms have been demonstrated. The increase in TGFbeta precedes abnormalities in lung function and detectable lung pathology, but correlates with the severity of the disease. TGFbeta plays a key role in mediating fibrotic tissue remodeling by increasing the production and decreasing the degradation of connective tissue via several mechanisms.

    Abstract Congenital interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) due to absence of its hepatic segment is usually found in patients with polysplenia. The occurrence without other features of the heterotaxy syndrome is rare, and the frequency of associated additional vascular and cardiac anomalies in these patients is not well known. We reviewed the literature and present 5 of our own patients to characterize this entity. All but 1 of the 67 known cases had visceroatrial situs solitus. There was 1 patient with interruption of the IVC in complete situs inversus. The interrupted IVC typically continued via the azygos system into the superior vena cava, but there were 4 cases without a direct connection between the infrahepatic IVC and the azygos system. Additional venous abnormalities or cardiac malformations were present in 47.8% and 31.4%, respectively. In contrast to the classical heterotaxy syndrome, heart defects with interrupted IVC and normal situs did not involve inversion of cardiac segments. The diagnosis can readily be made by echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging. Failure to recognize this anomaly can result in various problems during invasive medical or surgical procedures. In our own patients, interventional procedures failed, necessitating an operation in all 5 cases. Careful analysis of systemic venous drainage should be performed in all patients prior to cardiac catheterization, pacemaker implantation, or surgery, even if the visceroatrial situs is normal.

    Abstract Background: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with the need for treatment optimization. Previously, high expression of Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7), a member of the IGF system, was identified as negative prognostic factor in adult T-ALL patients. Since aberrant IGFBP7 expression was observed in a variety of neoplasia and was relevant for prognosis in T-ALL, we investigated the functional role of IGFBP7 in Jurkat and Molt-4 cells as in vitro models for T-ALL.
    Methods: Jurkat and Molt-4 cells were stably transfected with an IGFBP7 over-expression vector or the empty vector as control. Proliferation of the cells was assessed by WST-1 assays and cell cycle status was measured by flow-cytometry after BrDU/7-AAD staining. The effect of IGFBP7 over-expression on sensitivity to cytostatic drugs was determined in AnnexinV/7-AAD assays. IGF1-R protein expression was measured by Western Blot and flow-cytometric analysis. IGF1-R associated gene expression profiles were generated from microarray gene expression data of 86 T-ALL patients from the Microarrays Innovations in Leukemia (MILE) multicenter study.
    Results: IGFBP7-transfected Jurkat cells proliferated less, leading to a longer survival in a nutrient-limited environment. Both IGFBP7-transfected Jurkat and Molt-4 cells showed an arrest in the G0/G1 cell cycle phase. Furthermore, Jurkat IGFBP7-transfected cells were resistant to vincristine and asparaginase treatment. Surface expression and whole protein measurement of IGF1-R protein expression showed a reduced abundance of the receptor after IGFBP7 transfection in Jurkat cells. Interestingly, combination of the IGF1-R inhibitor NPV-AEW541 restored sensitivity to vincristine in IGFBP7-transfected cells. Additionally, IGF1-R associated GEP revealed an up-regulation of important drivers of T-ALL pathogenesis and regulators of chemo-resistance and apoptosis such as NOTCH1, BCL-2, PRKCI, and TP53.
    Conclusion: This study revealed a proliferation inhibiting effect of IGFBP7 by G0/G1 arrest and a drug resistance-inducing effect of IGFBP7 against vincristine and asparaginase in T-ALL. These results provide a model for the previously observed association between high IGFBP7 expression and chemotherapy failure in T-ALL patients. Since the resistance against vincristine was abolished by IGF1-R inhibition, IGFBP7 could serve as biomarker for patients who may benefit from therapies including IGF1-R inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy.

    Abstract Heterotaxy results from failure of the developing embryo to establish normal left-right asymmetry. Typical manifestations include abnormal symmetry and malposition of the thoraco-abdominal organs and vessels, complex congenital heart disease and extracardiac defects involving midline-associated structures. The spleen is almost always affected, and there is syndromic clustering of the malformations corresponding to the type of splenic abnormality present. This review outlines the embryologic and genetic background of the heterotaxy syndrome as well as the characteristic anatomic features, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic clues of its two main presentations with asplenia or polysplenia.

    Abstract Comparably little is known about breast cancer (BC) risks in women from families tested negative for BRCA1/2 mutations despite an indicative family history, as opposed to BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. We determined the age-dependent risks of first and contralateral breast cancer (FBC, CBC) both in noncarriers and carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations, who participated in an intensified breast imaging surveillance program. The study was conducted between January 1, 2005, and September 30, 2017, at 12 university centers of the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Two cohorts were prospectively followed up for incident FBC (n = 4,380; 16,398 person-years [PY], median baseline age: 39 years) and CBC (n = 2,993; 10,090 PY, median baseline age: 42 years). Cumulative FBC risk at age 60 was 61.8% (95% CI 52.8-70.9%) for BRCA1 mutation carriers, 43.2% (95% CI 32.1-56.3%) for BRCA2 mutation carriers and 15.7% (95% CI 11.9-20.4%) for noncarriers. FBC risks were significantly higher than in the general population, with incidence rate ratios of 23.9 (95% CI 18.9-29.8) for BRCA1 mutation carriers, 13.5 (95% CI 9.2-19.1) for BRCA2 mutation carriers and 4.9 (95% CI 3.8-6.3) for BRCA1/2 noncarriers. Cumulative CBC risk 10 years after FBC was 25.1% (95% CI 19.6-31.9%) for BRCA1 mutation carriers, 6.6% (95% CI 3.4-12.5%) for BRCA2 mutation carriers and 3.6% (95% CI 2.2-5.7%) for noncarriers. CBC risk in noncarriers was similar to women with unilateral BC from the general population. Further studies are needed to confirm whether less intensified surveillance is justified in women from BRCA1/2 negative families with elevated risk.
