    Abstract Objective: Teaching about spirituality and health is recommended by the American Association of Medical Colleges and partially implemented in some US medical schools as well as in some faculties of other countries. We systematically surveyed Medical School Associate Deans for Student Affairs (ADSAs) in three German-speaking countries, assessing both projects on and attitudes towards Spiritual Care (SC) and the extent to which it is addressed in undergraduate (UME), graduate (GME), and continuing (CME) medical education (in this article, UME is understood as the complete basic medical education equivalent to college and Medical School. GME refers to the time of residency).
    Methods: We executed a cross-sectional qualitative complete online-survey, addressing ADSAs of all accredited 46 medical schools in these countries. Anonymized responses could be analyzed from 25 (54.3%).
    Results: No faculty provides a mandatory course exclusively dedicated to SC. Fourteen medical schools have UME courses or contents on SC, and 9 incorporate SC in mandatory classes addressing other topics. While most of the respondents indicate that spirituality is important for (a) the patients for coping and (b) for health care in general and thus, support the teaching of SC in UME, only half of them indicate a need for an SC curriculum in UME. Even if funding and training support were available, only a few of the respondents would agree to provide more of the sparse curricular time.
    Conclusion: A majority of the participating medical schools have curricular content on SC, predominantly in UME. However, most of the content is based on voluntary courses. Despite acknowledging its importance to patients, ADSAs and medical teachers are still reflecting on the divergences in patients' and doctors' spiritual orientations and its consequences for implementing spirituality into the medical education.

    Abstract Objectives: A journal club is one of the well-established and popular methods of post-graduate education. In this work, we were interested to understand how the participants perceive journal club as a whole and how they evaluate their personal process of acquiring new scientific knowledge and development of soft-skills as an indispensable prerequisite of the lifelong learning.Project description: This study is a survey analysis examining perception of journal club sessions by post-graduate medical students. A checklist for journal club preparation as well as a questionnaire for evaluation of the journal club session by participants has been developed to determine if the journal club had met its aims. Data were collected by summing up all answers to each question of the questionnaire for each session. Qualitative data from a five-year evaluation period were compiled and analyzed. Results: The journal club checklist served as a guideline for the preparation of a journal club session as well as an evaluation questionnaire containing 24 items. Our work presents evidence that journal club seminars are well perceived by participants. Furthermore, a high percentage of participants deemed the working atmosphere to be constructive and found it worthwhile to participate in the sessions. The topics of the presentations have been positively evaluated, however only a minority of participants found that the topics of the journal club was related to their own specific research topic. Concerning the distribution of the journal article, we could show that distributing the paper one week before the journal club event provided sufficient time for preparation. Our evaluation revealed that two-thirds of the participants found discussions during journal club sessions rich and productive. The motivation to think more critically increased during journal club sessions. From our work, it is evident that the participants perceived the speakers´ soft-skills to have improved with the practice. Finally, we show a clear trend of improved ...

    Title translation Wahrnehmung von Journal-Club-Seminaren durch medizinische Promotionsstudierende: Ergebnisse aus fünf Jahren Evaluation
    Abstract Zielsetzung: Journal Clubs sind eine etablierte und weit verbreitete Methode der Postgraduiertenausbildung. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es zu untersuchen, wie die Teilnehmenden Journal Clubs insgesamt wahrnehmen und wie sie ihren persönlichen Prozess der Aneignung neuen wissenschaftlichen Wissens sowie die Entwicklung ihrer Soft Skills als unverzichtbare Voraussetzung für lebenslanges Lernen bewerten.
    Projektbeschreibung: Bei dieser Studie handelt es sich um eine Befragungsauswertung zur Untersuchung der Wahrnehmung von Journal-Club-Seminaren durch medizinische Promotionsstudierende. Dazu wurden eine Checkliste für die Vorbereitung von Journal Clubs sowie ein Fragebogen für die Evaluation der Journal-Club-Sitzung durch die Teilnehmenden erarbeitet, um zu ermitteln, ob die Ziele des Journal Clubs erreicht wurden. Die Daten wurden durch Zusammenfassung aller Antworten auf jede Frage des Fragebogens für jede Sitzung erhoben. Qualitative Daten aus einem fünfjährigen Evaluationszeitraum wurden zusammengeführt und ausgewertet.
    Ergebnisse: Die Journal-Club-Checkliste diente bei der Vorbereitung der Journal-Club-Sitzungen sowie des Evaluationsfragebogens mit 24 Items als Leitfaden. Diese Arbeit liefert Belege dafür, dass Journal-Club-Seminare von den Teilnehmenden positiv wahrgenommen werden. Darüber hinaus empfand ein hoher Prozentsatz der Teilnehmenden die Arbeitsatmosphäre als konstruktiv und die Teilnahme an den Sitzungen als wertvoll. Die Themen der Präsentationen wurden positiv bewertet, auch wenn nur wenige Teilnehmende angaben, dass die Themen des Journal Club Bezug zu ihrem eigenen spezifischen Forschungsthema hatten. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine Verteilung des Zeitschriftenartikels eine Woche vor der Journal-Club-Sitzung ausreichend Zeit zur Vorbereitung bot. Die Auswertung ergab, dass zwei Drittel der Teilnehmenden die Diskussionen während der Sitzungen bereichernd und fruchtbar fanden. Die Motivation für kritischeres Denken stieg während der Journal-Club-Sitzungen. Gestützt auf diese Arbeit ist es evident, dass sich die Soft Skills der Vortragenden in der Wahrnehmung der Teilnehmenden mit zunehmender Übung verbesserten. Schließlich konnte ein eindeutiger positiver Trend bei der Wahrnehmung des Nutzens von Journal-Club-Sitzungen vom Beginn bis zum Ende des Evaluationszeitraums nachgewiesen werden.
    Schlussfolgerung: Auf Grundlage der ausgewerteten Evaluationen kann geschlussfolgert werden, dass Journal-Club-Seminare von den Teilnehmenden sehr geschätzt werden und eine sinnvolle Möglichkeit für die Entwicklung bestimmter Soft Skills sind. ; Objectives: A journal club is one of the well-established and popular methods of post-graduate education.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Frequently used diagnostic biomarkers are amyloid-β42 (Aβ42), tau, and phospho-tau, which are measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and allow a reasonable, but not full, separation of AD patients and controls. Besides Aβ42, additional proteolytic cleavage products of the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) have been investigated as potential biomarkers. This includes the α-secretase cleaved soluble AβPP ectodomain (sAβPPα). However, some studies found a reduction of sAβPPα, whereas other studies reported an increase of sAβPPα in the CSF of AD patients. The divergent findings may result from the detection of sAβPPα with antibodies, such as 6E10, which do not exclusively detect sAβPPα, but also the alternative β-secretase cleavage product sAβPPβ'. Here, we used the sAβPPα-specific antibody 14D6 and developed an ELISA-like sandwich immunoassay. The assay specifically detected sAβPPα in cell culture supernatants, in human CSF and even in serum, which is more readily accessible than CSF. The assay was used to analyze sAβPPα levels in CSF and serum of AD patients and controls. The assay detected a mild, but significant increase in sAβPPα in the CSF of AD patients compared to non-demented controls, while a mild reduction was observed in serum. The 14D6 assay in CSF allowed a better separation of AD patients from controls compared to the 6E10 antibody. Taken together, the new assay is widely applicable for specific sAβPPα measurement in culture media, CSF, and serum.

    Abstract Prodomains of A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) metallopeptidases can act as highly specific intra- and intermolecular inhibitors of ADAM catalytic activity. The mouse ADAM9 prodomain (proA9; amino acids 24-204), expressed and characterized from Escherichia coli, is a competitive inhibitor of human ADAM9 catalytic/disintegrin domain with an overall inhibition constant of 280 ± 34 nM and high specificity toward ADAM9. In SY5Y neuroblastoma cells overexpressing amyloid precursor protein, proA9 treatment reduces the amount of endogenous ADAM10 enzyme in the medium while increasing membrane-bound ADAM10, as shown both by Western and activity assays with selective fluorescent peptide substrates using proteolytic activity matrix analysis. An increase in membrane-bound ADAM10 generates higher levels of soluble amyloid precursor protein α in the medium, whereas soluble amyloid precursor protein β levels are decreased, demonstrating that inhibition of ADAM9 increases α-secretase activity on the cell membrane. Quantification of physiological ADAM10 substrates by a proteomic approach revealed that substrates, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), HER2, osteoactivin, and CD40-ligand, are increased in the medium of BT474 breast tumor cells that were incubated with proA9, demonstrating that the regulation of ADAM10 by ADAM9 applies for many ADAM10 substrates. Taken together, our results demonstrate that ADAM10 activity is regulated by inhibition of ADAM9, and this regulation may be used to control shedding of amyloid precursor protein by enhancing α-secretase activity, a key regulatory step in the etiology of Alzheimer disease.
