    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanovesicles released by cells to effectively exchange biological information, are gaining interest as drug delivery system. Yet, analogously to liposomes, they show short blood circulation times and accumulation in the liver and the spleen. For tissue specific delivery, EV surfaces will thus have to be functionalized. We present a novel platform for flexible modification of EVs with target-specific ligands based on the avidin-biotin system. Genetic engineering of donor cells with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored avidin (GPI-Av) construct allows the isolation of EVs displaying avidin on their surface, functionalized with any biotinylated ligand. For proof of concept, GPI-Av EVs were modified with i) a biotinylated antibody or ii) de novo designed and synthesized biotinylated ligands binding carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), a membrane associated enzyme overexpressed in cancer. Functionalized EVs showed specific binding and uptake by CAIX-expressing cells, demonstrating the power of the system to prepare EVs for cell-specific drug delivery.

    Abstract MRI is a method of choice for assessing anatomical structures or angiogenesis-related parameters noninvasively during tumor progression. Typically, tumor tissue displays a high degree of heterogeneity that can be evaluated using pattern analysis (PA), which comprises shape and texture analysis. This work aims at implementing PA methods to study angiogenesis in a murine tumor model and testing its sensitivity with regard to detecting changes elicited by administration of a drug. Twelve balb/c-nude mice were injected subcutaneously with 10(6) C51 cells (colon carcinoma). A first group (N = 6) of animals was treated with dimethyloxalylglycine, a drug known to stabilize hypoxia-inducible-factor-α, which among other functions, is involved in angiogenesis. The second group (N = 6) was treated with saline. MRI experiments assessing tumor blood volume and permeability-maps (K(trans) ) were performed immediately before and 6 days after drug treatment. Data have been analyzed using standard histogram analysis and PA. Standard histogram analysis did not reveal any difference between the two groups, neither before nor after the treatment. In contrast, PA revealed significant differences between drug and placebo treated mice in the texture of the TBV and K(trans) maps after drug treatment, but not with regard to tumors shapes. The results indicated that in view of the heterogeneity of tumor tissue, standard histogram analysis appears insensitive in picking-up differences in response to treatment, while PA appears to be particularly sensitive to changes in texture.

    Abstract Background: The identified preventable risk factors for primary headache in adolescents are smoking; consumption of coffee or alcoholic mixed drinks; physical inactivity; muscle pain in the head, neck, or shoulder region; and chronic stress.
    Objective: To investigate the interrelation of headache with other health complaints and the specificity of the above-mentioned risk factors for headache in adolescents.
    Methods: A total of 1,260 students (grades 10 and 11) filled in questionnaires on headache, dietary, and lifestyle factors. The type of headache and health complaints such as dizziness, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal pains, symptoms of possible fatigue syndrome, and psychic complaints were assessed.
    Results: Isolated headache was found in 18% of the headache sufferers; most frequently isolated tension-type headache (78.2%). Only among adolescents with a combination of headache (mainly migraine) and other health complaints, significant associations for almost all analyzed risk factors were found. The strength of the associations with the considered risk factors was very similar in all three analyzed strata except for considerably lower odds ratios for isolated headache.
    Conclusion: All analyzed risk factors are nonspecific for headache in adolescents because they also increase the risk for other health complaints. Interventions, therefore, should consider a holistic approach focusing not only on headache but also on a broader spectrum of health complaints.

    Abstract Unlabelled: With the emergence of multimodal imaging strategies, genetically encoded reporters that can be flexibly combined with any imaging modality become highly attractive. Here we describe the use of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored avidin, an avidin moiety targeted to the extracellular side of cell membranes via a GPI anchor, as a reporter for in vivo imaging. Being present on the outside of cells, avidin can be visualized with any type of biotinylated imaging agent, without the requirement that the probe be membrane-permeable. We used the avidin-GPI system to monitor the activity of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs)-oxygen-sensing transcription factors, which play a major role in regulating cancer progression-in a mouse tumor allograft model.
    Methods: Mouse C51 cells were stably transfected with pH3SVG, a reporter construct driving the expression of avidin-GPI from an HIF-sensitive promoter. The transfected cells were subcutaneously implanted into BALB/c nude mice. At 10 d after tumor inoculation, mice received an intravenous injection of either alexa-594-biocytin or (67)Ga-DOTA-biotin, and tumor HIF activity was imaged using fluorescence reflectance imaging or SPECT.
    Results: In vitro cell experiments demonstrated the functionality and HIF-dependent regulation of the avidin-GPI reporter construct. In vivo, avidin-GPI was targeted specifically in allograft tumors with biotinylated imaging probes using both fluorescence imaging and SPECT. Analysis of the reporter expression pattern on ex vivo tumor tissue sections indicated a good overlap, with areas of hypoxia.
    Conclusion: We have demonstrated the utility of avidin-GPI as a reporter for multimodal in vivo imaging using both a fluorescence and a SPECT approach to assess intracellular oxygen signaling in a mouse tumor model.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of the present analysis is to confirm or refute the association of neck pain to migraine or tension-type headache and to assess whether this association is independent of other risk factors for headache.
    Methods: Secondary school students were invited to complete a questionnaire on headache and lifestyle factors in a cross-sectional study. Neck pain was assessed via (a) a screening question concerning neck pain and (b) denoting affected areas in schematic drawings of the human body.
    Results: Absolute increment in prevalence of headache with pain in the shoulder-neck region was between 7.5% and 9.6%. Gender, grade, stress and lifestyle factors were assessed as potential confounding factors. Nearly all factors were associated with shoulder-neck pain and most with headache. After adjustment for confounders, the association of neck pain with headache was almost completely confined to migraine (OR 2.39; 95% CI 1.48-3.85) and migraine + tension-type headache (OR 2.12; 95% CI 1.50-2.99), whereas the association with isolated tension-type headache was negligible (OR 1.22, 95% CI 0.87-1.69).
    Conclusion: Neck pain is associated with migraine but not with tension-type headache. A possible link between migraine and neck pain may be the cervico-trigeminal convergence of neck and meningeal sensory afferents or a disturbed descending inhibition in migraine.
