Abstract
Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are still discussed critically, as there is no consensus on whether these treatments could be the cause of risk factors for obstetric problems such as breech presentation. The aim of this study was to test the association between ART and breech presentation among 11920 singleton term births taking place in Vienna from 2010 to 2020. In this single-centre medical record-based study, data concerning the conception mode (spontaneous versus IVF or ICSI), child presentation, birth mode, newborn sex and size as well as age, height, weight, and reproductive history of the mother were included. Three hundred twenty-six newborns (2.7%) were conceived by IVF or ICSI, and 527 newborns (4.4%) were delivered in breech presentation. Breech presentation occurred in 7.6% of IVF/ICSI children but only in 4.3% of spontaneously conceived children (P = 0.019). ART increased the crude risk of breech presentation significantly (OR = 1.67; 95% CI 1.71 - 2.38). After adjusting for maternal age, height, number of previous births, smoking, and newborn sex, however, ART had no longer a significant impact on the risk of breech presentation. In contrast, breech presentation was significantly associated with higher maternal age as well as a lower number of previous births, but not with ART. This study shows that the adverse outcomes of IVF and ICSI pregnancies may not be due to the ART treatment alone but might also be due to the mostly higher age and lower parity of the mothers using ART.

Abstract
In this work we investigated mixtures from α-glycosylation of rubusoside with cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases. In addition to the previously known α-1,4 glycosylated derivatives, nine new compounds with rare α-1,3-glycosidic bonds were identified based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometric analysis. Furthermore, sensory properties of monoglycosylated rubusoside derivatives were investigated and compared to previously described monoglycosylated compounds. Additionally, digestion with α-amylase from human saliva was investigated for different glycosylated rubusoside derivatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The evaluation of the use of laryngeal mask airways (LMA) as an alternative form of airway management for surgical tracheal reconstruction. DESIGN A prospective case series. SETTING At a single German university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Ten patients. INTERVENTIONS The use of LMA for airway management in surgical reconstruction of the trachea. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Ten patients with tracheal stenosis of 50% to 90% were enrolled prospectively during the study period. The airway management consisted of the insertion of an LMA. During resection and reconstruction, high-frequency jet ventilation was used. Several arterial blood gas analyses (ABG) were performed before, during, and after the tracheal resection and reconstruction. All values were presented as median and interquartile ranges or as absolute and relative values, and no emergency change to cross-field intubation was necessary. The lowest PaO2 was 93 mmHg in 1 patient after 20 minutes of jet ventilation, whereas PaO2 increased after the induction phase and remained stable in 9 patients. There were no intraoperative complications related to anesthetic management apart from transient hypercarbia during and after jet ventilation. Preoperative and postoperative ABG were comparable. One patient required immediate postoperative ventilatory support. Two patients developed postoperative pneumonia, leading to their admission to the intensive care unit. One patient was operated with a palliative approach due to massive dyspnea and died in the next postoperative course. CONCLUSIONS The use of LMA is an alternative option in airway management for tracheal reconstruction, even in patients with significant tracheal stenosis. Potential advantages compared to tracheal intubation are unimpaired access to the operative field and the lack of stress on the fresh anastomosis.

Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increased concerns about glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Therefore, we aimed to assess changes in diabetes management during the COVID-19 lockdown for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM) in Germany. We included data from 24,623 patients (age>18 years) with T1DM (N=6,975) or T2DM (N=17,648) with documented data in 2019 and 2020 from the multicenter Diabetes-Prospective Follow-up registry (DPV). We conducted a groupwise comparison of identical patients in 2019 and 2020 for different time periods of pandemia. Pairwise differences of continuous parameters of treatment modalities and metabolic outcome between 2019 and 2020 were adjusted for seasonality, age, and diabetes duration. We presented these outcomes as adjusted medians with 95% confidence intervals. Rates were compared using negative-binomial models, dichotomous outcomes were compared using logistic models. Models were additionally adjusted for age and diabetes duration. These outcomes were presented as least-square means with 95% confidence intervals, p-values of<.05 were considered significant.In participants with T1DM, CGI (combined glucose indicator) increased only by 0.11-0.12% in all time periods of 2020 compared to 2019 (all p<0.001) while BMI decreased slightly by -(0.09-0.10) kg/m² (p<0.0001). In participants with T2DM, HbA1c increased by 0.12%, while BMI decreased slightly by -(0.05-0.06) kg/m² (p<0.0001).During the COVID-19 lockdown period, patients with T1DM and T2DM experienced only clinically insignificant changes in glucose control or body weight. Despite lockdown restrictions, patients were able to maintain metabolic control.

Abstract
In free B-DNA, slow (microsecond-to-millisecond) motions that involve equilibrium between Watson-Crick (WC) and Hoogsteen (HG) base-pairing expand the DNA dynamic repertoire that could mediate DNA-protein assemblies. R1ρ relaxation dispersion NMR methods are powerful tools to capture such slow conformational exchanges in solution using 13C/15 N labelled DNA. Here, these approaches were applied to a dodecamer containing a TTAAA element that was assumed to facilitate nucleosome formation. NMR data and inferred exchange parameters assign HG base pairs as the minor, transient conformers specifically observed in three successive A·T base pairs forming the TAA·TTA segment. The abundance of these HG A·T base pairs can be up to 1.2% which is high compared to what has previously been observed. Data analyses support a scenario in which the three adenines undergo non-simultaneous motions despite their spatial proximity, thus optimising the probability of having one HG base pair in the TAA·TTA segment. Finally, revisiting previous NMR data on H2 resonance linewidths on the basis of our results promotes the idea of there being a special propensity of A·T base pairs in TAA·TTA tracts to adopt HG pairing. In summary, this study provides an example of a DNA functional element submitted to slow conformational exchange. More generally, it strengthens the importance of the role of the DNA sequence in modulating its dynamics, over a nano- to milli-second time scale.

Abstract
Existing epidermal transplantation procedures applied in burn surgery or wound treatment, such as mesh grafting or the Meek method, do not lead to a restoration of all the skin layers. Dermal skin layers are indispensable in ensuring the quality and function of the transplanted skin as a frictional surface and a carrier of skin appendages such as hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands, as well as nerve receptors for detecting pressure, vibration, and temperature. Because of the restricted skin surface area that can be provided by the donor, full-skin transplants cannot be transplanted over a large area. Cultured skin procedures, based on skin cells cultivated in a laboratory, have not yet reached a stage of development where a complex full epidermal transplantation is possible. In particular, the introduction of skin appendages with a functional cell-to-cell communication has not been observed thus far in cultivated skin. Based on the Reverdin transplantation method, in which concave skin islands with epidermal and dermal parts are transplanted, Davis in 1910 described the transplantation of multiple 2-5 mm sized full-skin islands as a new method for the treatment of skin lesions. Further modifying this 100-year-old procedure, we developed a miniaturization and automation of the Davis transplantation method that started in 2011 and called it "SkinDot". In the following article we describe the effectiveness of the full-skin island transplant procedure in two patients. The transplantation of single 2-3 mm full-skin islands results in a full-skin equivalent without any limits on donor area and with a reduced donor morbidity.

Abstract
A skin cell-spray grafting technique that enables the on-site application of freshly isolated autologous single cell suspensions was already applied in many cases on caucasian patients with low skin coloration. Our project hypothesis is that these suspensions contain keratinocytes and vital melanocytes, that are of particular interest for the treatment of patients of darker skin color. To test this, we applied an in vitro model, wherein the feasibility of i) isolating and ii) spraying of freshly isolated autologous melanocyte-keratinocyte cell suspensions was investigated. Primary human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs) and melanocytes (MCs) were isolated from skin biopsies (n=8). Biochemical parameter, cell counts, cell morphology, growth behavior and immunofluorescence results were compared in two groups using MC cultures and co-cultures of MCs with HEKs. Case information on using the method clinically with one patient is included. The sprayed mixed cell suspensions proliferated in all groups without measurable loss of viability, and MCs exhibited a regular cell morphology in monoculture up to passage 4°. The sprayed MCs and HEKs demonstrated in vitro glucose and lactate metabolism that was comparable to the pipetted controls. In co-culture, well distributed CK14+ HEKs and NKI/beteb+ MCs could be demonstrated, which interacted in the in vitro model. The ratio of HEKs : MCs in our primary cultures were microscopically counted (n=8 each) as mean +/- SD 1,211,000 (+/- 574,343) HEK : 99,625 (+/- 59,025) MC; i.e., a ratio of approx. 12 : 1. Using the isolation method clinically for a patient with dark skin coloration after suffering severe second-degree burns shows a satisfying re-pigmentation of the resulting wound post healing. Freshly isolated spray-on melanocyte/keratinocyte suspensions provide for a considerable amount of viable HEKs and MCs. Using MCs in spray-grafting suspensions could represent a promising approach for treating severe partial-thickness burns and innovative therapy developments that also aim to address cosmetic aspects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer diagnosed during pregnancy and occurs between one in 3000 to one in 10 000 pregnancies. The first international guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of pregnancy associated BC (PABC) has been developed in 2003. The 5 year survival rate is similar to the non-pregnant women with the same stage of disease. In contrast to the data about the oncological outcome of patients with PABC, the literature about quality of life (QoL) of those patients is lacking. The aim of the study was to investigate the QoL of patients with PABC.
Materials and methods: Patients with PABC diagnosed and treated at our department in the period between 2000 and 2016 were included in the study. Clinical and demographic data were collected from the data base. The QOL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30, the EORTC QLQ-BR 45 and the EORTC SHQ-22. The QoL results were compared with reference data (EORTC Reference Values) of BC patients. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and t-test to test the significance.
Results: In the analysed period, twenty-one patients with PABC were found. In 16 patients BC had been diagnosed during the pregnancy and in 5 patients during the first year after delivery. Mean age at the time of diagnosis was 34.24 (SD±3.3), mean pregnancy week 21.14 (SD±10.28), and 8 months (SD±5.0) for patients with the diagnosis in the first year after the delivery. All patients underwent surgery, as well as chemotherapy. In addition, 10 patients received hormonal therapy and 12 irradiation.
16 patients lived at the time of the QoL assessment and received the QoL questionnaire per mail. After the mean follow up of 5.2 years, there were no statistically significant differences in EORTC QLQ C30 scales between our population and reference data except for constipation which a better score in our population. Clinical relevant differences were found in scales: physical functioning, role functioning and symptom dyspnea with the better score in our population. Our patients reported clinical relevant more financial difficulties. In the disease specific questionnaire EORTC BC 45, patients with PABC showed statistically significantly worse score in the following scales: body image, upset by hair loss, side effects of the systemic therapy and future perspective. 40% of the patients had a decreased libido and 37% of patients reported that therapy negatively impaired sexual activity. 25% of patients reported that they fill less feminine because of the disease.
Conclusion: The results revealed that QoL in patients with PABC is more impaired compared to the overall QoL reference data of BC patients. Despite the small number of patients, the results indicate that PABC patients are a vulnerable group, especially regarding outer appearance (body image, upset by hair loss, fill les feminine). The QLQ BR 45 showed more sensitivity to assess the impact on QoL of these patients than EORTC QLQ C30 and underlines the necessity to use disease-specific questionnaires in specific patient populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to assess cytogenetic and embryoscopic characteristics in subsequent miscarriages of spontaneous pregnancy losses (SPL) and recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL). METHODS A retrospective cohort of 75 women was affected by repeated pregnancy loss. Of those, 34 had SPL, 24 primary RPL, and 17 secondary RPL. Ploidy status and morphology was analyzed by transcervical embryoscopic examination of the embryo and cytogenetic analysis of the chorionic villi in subsequent miscarriages. RESULTS Similar rates of recurrent ploidy status were observed between first and second miscarriage in SPL and RPL (82.4% recurrent ploidy status in SPL, p > 0.999; 73% recurrent ploidy status in RPL, p = 0.227). No difference was found regarding recurrent abnormal morphology between SPL and RPL (p = 0.092). However, secondary RPL resulted significantly more often in recurrent abnormal morphology compared to primary RPL (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS High rates of recurrent normal/abnormal karyotypes were observed in all groups with a majority of embryos presenting with recurrent abnormal morphology. Secondary RPL presented significantly more often with recurrent abnormal morphology compared to primary RPL. These findings offer prognostic information for the affected patient and might impact treatment choice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide, is secreted from endocrine cells in the gastric mucosa. Circulating levels rise in the preprandial phase, suggesting an anticipatory or cephalic phase of release, and decline in the postprandial phase, suggesting either the loss of a stimulatory factor or inhibition by factors released when nutrients enter the intestine. We hypothesized that vagal signals are not required for the (i) preprandial increase or (ii) postprandial suppression of ghrelin levels. Further, we wanted to investigate the hypothesis that (iii) glucagon-like peptide-1 might be implicated in the postprandial decline in ghrelin levels. METHODS We measured ghrelin levels in plasma from sham-feeding and meal studies carried out in vagotomized individuals and controls, and from a GLP-1 infusion study carried out in fasting healthy young individuals. KEY RESULTS We find that (i) ghrelin secretion is unchanged during indirect vagal stimulation as elicited by modified sham-feeding in vagotomized individuals and matched controls, (ii) ghrelin secretion is similarly suppressed after meal ingestion in vagotomized individuals and controls, and (iii) infusion of GLP-1 does not lower ghrelin levels. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES We conclude that for postprandial suppression of circulating ghrelin levels, a circulating factor (but not GLP-1) or short (duodeno-gastric) reflexes seem to be implicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is associated with an increased risk of postprandial hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia, but the underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood. We therefore examined the effect of re-routing of nutrient delivery on gut-islet cell crosstalk in a person with severe postprandial hypoglycaemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. CASE REPORT A person with severe postprandial hypoglycaemia, who underwent surgical reversal of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, was studied before reversal and at 2 weeks and 3 months after reversal surgery using liquid mixed meal tests and hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamps. The nadir of postprandial plasma glucose rose from 2.8 mmol/l to 4.1 mmol/l at 2 weeks and to 4.4 mmol/l at 3 months after reversal. Concomitant insulin- and glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion (peak concentrations and area under the curve) clearly decreased after reversal, while concentrations of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and ghrelin increased. Insulin clearance declined after reversal, whereas clamp-estimated peripheral insulin sensitivity was unchanged. The person remained without symptoms of hypoglycaemia, but had experienced significant weight gain at 15-month follow-up. DISCUSSION Accelerated nutrient absorption may be a driving force behind postprandial hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Re-routing of nutrients by reversal of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass diminished postprandial plasma glucose excursions, alleviated postprandial insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 hypersecretion and eliminated postprandial hypoglycaemia, which emphasizes the importance of altered gut-islet cell crosstalk for glucose metabolism after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-invasive methods for monitoring of the therapeutic ion beam extension in the patient are desired in order to handle deteriorations of the dose distribution related to changes of the patient geometry. In carbon ion radiotherapy, secondary light ions represent one of potential sources of information about the dose distribution in the irradiated target. The capability to detect range-changing inhomogeneities inside of an otherwise homogeneous phantom, based on single track measurements, is addressed in this paper. METHODS Air and stainless steel inhomogeneities, with PMMA equivalent thickness of 10mm and 4.8mm respectively, were inserted into a PMMA-phantom at different positions in depth. Irradiations of the phantom with therapeutic carbon ion pencil beams were performed at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center. Tracks of single secondary ions escaping the phantom under irradiation were detected with a pixelized semiconductor detector Timepix. The statistical relevance of the found differences between the track distributions with and without inhomogeneities was evaluated. RESULTS Measured shifts of the distal edge and changes in the fragmentation probability make the presence of inhomogeneities inserted into the traversed medium detectable for both, 10mm air cavities and 1mm thick stainless steel. Moreover, the method was shown to be sensitive also on their position in the observed body, even when localized behind the Bragg-peak. CONCLUSIONS The presented results demonstrate experimentally, that the method using distributions of single secondary ion tracks is sensitive to the changes of homogeneity of the traversed material for the studied geometries of the target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tyrosinemia type II, also known as Richner-Hanhart Syndrome, is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder, caused by mutations in the gene encoding hepatic cytosolic tyrosine aminotransferase, leading to the accumulation of tyrosine and its metabolites which cause ocular and skin lesions, that may be accompanied by neurological manifestations, mostly intellectual disability. AIMS To update disease-causing mutations and current clinical knowledge of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Genetic and clinical information were obtained from a collection of both unreported and previously reported cases. RESULTS We report 106 families, represented by 143 individuals, carrying a total of 36 genetic variants, 11 of them not previously known to be associated with the disease. Variants include 3 large deletions, 21 non-synonymous and 5 nonsense amino-acid changes, 5 frameshifts and 2 splice variants. We also report 5 patients from Gran Canaria, representing the largest known group of unrelated families sharing the same P406L mutation. CONCLUSIONS Data analysis did not reveal a genotype-phenotype correlation, but stressed the need of early diagnosis: All patients improved the oculocutaneous lesions after dietary treatment but neurological symptoms prevailed. The discovery of founder mutations in isolated populations, and the benefits of early intervention, should increase diagnostic awareness in newborns.
