    Abstract Background/aim: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. The potential for targeted therapy against the immune checkpoint programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and receptor tyrosine kinases was examined in cervical cancer patients and cell lines.
    Materials and methods: On tissue microarrays, PD-L1 was analyzed in 123 samples of patients with cervical cancer using immunohistochemistry. In SiHa, HeLa, and CaSki cervical cancer cell lines we examined the combination of lenvatinib with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor using cell viability assays, the activation of cell signaling pathway proteins using western blots and gene expression using quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR.
    Results: Of 113 evaluable samples, 90 (79.6%) had more than 1% PD-L1 positive cells. The single treatment with the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor resulted in the greatest reduction in growth for CaSki and lenvatinib in HeLa cells. In contrast, the combined treatment of lenvatinib with the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor demonstrated a significantly stronger impeded proliferation compared to the single treatment in all three cell lines. Moreover, the combined treatment caused significantly less phosphorylation of the signaling molecules ERK and S6 in SiHa and of S6 and STAT3 in HeLa cells but not in CaSki. All treatments diminished the mRNA levels of PD-L1, Il-8, and FGFR in SiHa cells.
    Conclusion: PD1 is frequently expressed in cervical cancer samples. Combining lenvatinib with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor diminished proliferation of cervical cancer cell lines. Consequently, this combination might be a promising option to treat cervical cancer. Signaling pathways involved in tumor cell growth are blocked by the combined treatment but still a model of the underlying mechanism cannot be drawn.

    Abstract Countless numbers of people lost their lives at Europe’s southern borders in recent years in the attempt to cross to Europe in small rubber inflatables. This work examines satellite-based approaches to build up future systems that can automatically detect those boats. We compare the performance of several automatic vessel detectors using real synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from X-band and C-band sensors on TerraSAR-X and Sentinel-1. The data was collected in an experimental campaign where an empty boat lies on a lake’s surface to analyse the influence of main sensor parameters (incidence angle, polarization mode, spatial resolution) on the detectability of our inflatable. All detectors are implemented with a moving window and use local clutter statistics from the adjacent water surface. Among tested detectors are well-known intensity-based (CA-CFAR), sublook-based (sublook correlation) and polarimetric-based (PWF, PMF, PNF, entropy, symmetry and iDPolRAD) approaches. Additionally, we introduced a new version of the volume detecting iDPolRAD aimed at detecting surface anomalies and compare two approaches to combine the volume and the surface in one algorithm, producing two new highly performing detectors. The results are compared with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, enabling us to compare detectors independently of threshold selection.

    Abstract Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are envisioned to transform the future industrial and private transportation sectors. However, due to the system's enormous complexity, functional verification and validation of safety aspects are essential before the technology merges into the public domain. Therefore, in recent years, a scenario-driven approach has gained acceptance, emphasizing the requirement of a solid data basis of scenarios. The large-scale research facility Test Bed Lower Saxony (TFNDS) enables the provision of ample information for a database of scenarios on highways. For that purpose, however, the scenarios of interest must be identified and extracted from the collected Naturalistic Trajectory Data (NTD). This work addresses this problem and proposes a methodology for onramp scenario extraction, enabling scenario categorization and assessment. An Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is utilized for extraction and a decision tree with the Surrogate Measure of Safety (SMoS) Post Enroachment Time (PET) for categorization and assessment. The efficacy of the approach is shown with a dataset of NTD collected on the TFNDS.

    Abstract Most of the recent research in the field of marine target detection has been concentrating on ships with large metallic parts. The focus of this work is on much more challenging targets represented by small rubber inflatables. They are of importance, since in recent years they have largely been used by migrants to cross the Mediterranean Sea between Libya and Europe. The motivation of this research is to mitigate the ongoing humanitarian crisis at Europe’s southern borders. These boats, packed with up to 200 people, are in no way suitable to cross the Mediterranean Sea or any other big water body and are in distress from the moment of departure. The establishment of a satellite-based surveillance infrastructure could considerably support search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean Sea, reduce the number of such boats being missed and mitigate the ongoing death in the open ocean. In this work we describe and analyze data from the InflateSAR acquisition campaign, wherein we gathered multiple-platform SAR imagery of an original refugee inflatable. The test site for this campaign is a lake which provides background clutter that is more predictable. The analysis considered a sum of experiments, enabling investigations of a broad range of scene settings, such as the vessel’s orientation, superstructures and speed. We assess their impact on the detectability of the chosen target under different sensor parameters, such as polarimetry, resolution and incidence angle. Results show that TerraSAR-X Spotlight and Stripmap modes offer good capabilities to potentially detect those types of boats in distress. Low incidence angles and cross-polarization decrease the chance of a successful identification, whereas a fully occupied inflatable, orthogonally oriented to the line of sight, seems to be better visible than an empty one. The polarimetric analyses prove the vessel’s different polarimetric behavior in comparison with the water surface, especially when it comes to entropy. The analysis considered state-of-the-art methodologies with single polarization and dual polarization channels. Finally, different metrics are used to discuss whether and to which extent the results are applicable to other open ocean datasets. This paper does not introduce any vessel detection or classification algorithm from SAR images. Rather, its results aim at paving the way to the design and the development of a specially tailored detection algorithm for small rubber inflatables.

    Abstract Background: Cancers and intraepithelial lesions of different anogenital areas as well as oral cancer are associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) infections.
    Methods: In this study cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and oral samples were taken from 509 patients visiting our dysplasia consultation clinic. HPV genotyping was performed using the EUROArray HPV test.
    Results: Positivity of HR HPV was found in 60.4-64.3% of anogenital and 14.6% of oral samples. HPV 16 showed the highest incidence in all investigated areas. In cervical and vaginal samples HPV 31 was detected second most, while in vulvar, anal, and oral samples HPV 53 was the second most common subtype. HPV 18 was found lower in all areas, while HPV 51, HPV 52, and HPV 73 were detected higher than expected from published data. A good concordance between cervical, vaginal and vulvar samples was examined for most of the HPV. HR HPV infection was higher in cervical cancer (CC; 91.7%) and high-grade intraepithelial squamous lesions (HSIL; 93.9%) compared to low-grade SIL (LSIL; 69.6%) and normal samples (44.8%).
    Conclusion: In addition to the well described HPV subtypes, we found others with high incidences in the investigated areas which may be evident for HSIL and CC of those areas.
