    Abstract Apoptosis is central for the maintenance of health. In the immune system, apoptosis guarantees proper development of immune cells and shutdown of immune reactions by the coordinated elimination of activated immune cells. Limitation of the life span of granulocytes is important, as overactivation of these cells is associated with chronic inflammation and collateral tissue damage. Consequently, targeted induction of granulocyte apoptosis may be beneficial in the course of respective immune disorders. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as glucocorticoids and monoclonal antibodies against IL-5Rα exert their function in part by triggering eosinophil apoptosis. Agonistic antibodies targeting Siglec-8 or death receptors are tested (pre)clinically. Moreover, a new class of inhibitors targeting antiapoptotic BCL-2 proteins shows great promise for anticancer treatments. Because of their specificity and tolerable side effects, these so-called BH3 mimetics may be worthwhile to evaluate in inflammatory disorders. Here, we review past and recent data on pharmacological apoptosis induction of granulocytes and highlight respective therapeutic potential.

    Abstract An elevated percentage of medical personnel reports using alcohol to relieve stress. Levels of alcohol addiction are almost double that of the general population. Robotic surgery is becoming more widespread. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of alcohol ingestion on performance of a standardized curriculum using a robotic training platform. Surgeons and surgical trainees were recruited. Candidates performed 4 standardized exercises (Vitruvian Operation (VO), Stacking Challenge (SC), Ring Tower (RT), Suture Sponge (SS)) at 0.0 blood alcohol concentration (BAC), followed by testing in the elimination phase at a target BAC of 0.8‰. Learning effects were minimised through prior training. A total of 20 participants were recruited. Scores for RT and SS exercises were significantly worse under the influence of alcohol [instruments out of view (SS (z = 2.012; p = 0.044), RT (z score 1.940, p = 0.049)), drops (SS (z = 3.250; p = 0.001)), instrument collisions (SS (z = 2.460; p = 0.014)), missed targets (SS (z = 2.907; p = 0.004)]. None of the scores improved with alcohol consumption, and there were measurable deleterious effects on the compound indicators risk affinity and tissue handling. Despite the potential mitigating features of robotic surgery including tremor filtration, motion scaling, and improved three-dimensional visualization, alcohol consumption was associated with a significant increase in risk affinity and rough tissue handling, along with a deterioration of performance in select virtual robotic tasks. In the interest of patient safety, alcohol should not be consumed prior to performing robotic surgery and sufficiently long intervals between alcohol ingestion and surgical performance are mandatory.

    Abstract Sialic acids are sugars with a nine-carbon backbone, present on the surface of all cells in humans, including immune cells and their target cells, with various functions. Natural Killer (NK) cells are cells of the innate immune system, capable of killing virus-infected and tumor cells. Sialic acids can influence the interaction of NK cells with potential targets in several ways. Different NK cell receptors can bind sialic acids, leading to NK cell inhibition or activation. Moreover, NK cells have sialic acids on their surface, which can regulate receptor abundance and activity. This review is focused on how sialic acids on NK cells and their target cells are involved in NK cell function.

    Abstract Purpose: Limited research exists on translation of in-vitro glucose measurement interfering compounds to the in-vivo situation. We investigated whether Point-of-Care glucose measurements by Accu Chek Inform II (ACI II) were accurate to monitor glucose concentrations during surgery with general anesthesia by comparing with the reference laboratory hexokinase plasma glucose test.
    Method: Patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia were included. Anesthesia was maintained with either Sevoflurane or Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). Prior to and after induction, blood glucose was measured with ACI II and the hexokinase test. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to assess method agreement. Subgroup analyses on glucose measurement differences per type of maintenance anesthesia were performed.
    Results: Thirty-nine patients were included, and 78 measurements were performed. All paired measurements had clinically acceptable agreement with a percentage error of 10.0% (95% CI 8.0 to 11.9). The mean difference (95% limits of agreement) between ACI II and hexokinase for all measurements was 0.0 mmol/L (-0.7 to 0.7 mmol/L). Before induction (n = 39), mean difference was -0.1 mmol/L (-0.6 to 0.4 mmol/L), and after induction (n = 39), mean difference was 0.1 mmol/L (-0.8 to 0.9 mmol/L). Further investigation showed the difference varied per test for patients receiving Sevoflurane compared to patients receiving TIVA (-0.2 ± 0.4 mmol/L vs. 0.4 ± 0.3 mmol/L, p < 0.001). Before and after induction, the difference between ACI II and hexokinase measurements increased for patients receiving Sevoflurane compared to patients receiving TIVA (0.4 ± 0.4 mmol/L vs. -0.4 ± 0.3 mmol/L, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The agreement between glucose measurements using ACI II and the reference laboratory hexokinase test was clinically acceptable with a percentage error of 10.0% (95% CI 8.0 to 11.9). The use of TIVA may negatively affect the measurement performance of the ACI II.
