Abstract
PURPOSE Despite recent advances in adapting the intensity of treatment for older patients with ALL, current protocols are associated with high rates of early deaths, treatment-related toxicity, and dismal prognosis. We evaluated inotuzumab ozogamicin and dexamethasone (Dex) as induction therapy in older patients with ALL within the German Multicenter Study Group for Adult ALL (GMALL). PATIENTS AND METHODS The open-label, multicenter, phase II, INITIAL-1 trial enrolled 45 patients older than 55 years with newly diagnosed, CD22-positive, BCR::ABL-negative B-precursor ALL (B-ALL). Patients received up to three cycles of inotuzumab ozogamicin/Dex and up to six cycles of age-adapted GMALL consolidation and maintenance therapy. RESULTS Forty-three evaluable patients with common/pre-B (n = 38) and pro-B ALL (n = 5), with a median age of 64 years (range, 56-80), received at least two cycles of inotuzumab ozogamicin induction therapy. All patients achieved complete remission (CR/CR with incomplete hematologic recovery). Twenty-three (53%) and 30 (71%) patients had no evidence of molecularly assessed measurable residual disease (minimum 10e-4 threshold) after the second and third inductions, respectively. After a median follow-up of 2.7 years, event-free survival at one (primary end point) and 3 years was 88% (95% CI, 79 to 98) and 55% (95% CI, 40 to 71), while overall survival (OS) was 91% (95% CI, 82 to 99) and 73% (95% CI, 59 to 87), respectively. None of the patients died during 6 months after the start of induction. Most common adverse events having common toxicity criteria grade ≥3 during induction were leukocytopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and elevated liver enzymes. One patient developed nonfatal veno-occlusive disease after induction II. CONCLUSION Inotuzumab ozogamicin-based induction followed by age-adapted chemotherapy was well tolerated and resulted in high rates of remission and OS. These data provide a rationale for integrating inotuzumab ozogamicin into first-line regimens for older patients with B-ALL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are conflicting results concerning the outcome of patients after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) who required treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome and prognostic parameters in terms of patient survival after allo-HSCT and admission to the ICU within the first 30 days after transplantation. METHODS Patients after allo-HSCT, who were ≥18 years and admitted to the ICU after the initiation of conditioning therapy and within the first 30 days after allo-HSCT at the University Hospital of Bonn between January 2017 and April 2021, were analysed retrospectively. Baseline data, laboratory parameters, established scoring systems, vital parameters, and outcome were collected. RESULTS 44 patients (median age of 63 years) were analysed. The 90-day survival rate was 50% (N = 22) and the 1-year survival rate was 27% (N = 12). The 90-day and 1-year survival rates of patients who required MV were 38% (N = 13) and 18% (N = 6). There was a significant correlation between increased mortality and an APACHE-Score ≥20 (p = 0.03), a SAPS-II-Score ≥60 (p = 0.04) and a SOFA-Score ≥9 (p = 0.03). Invasive mechanical ventilation (p = 0.05) and vasopressor support (p = 0.03) showed a negative correlation with the outcome. CONCLUSION This study found several parameters (APACHE-II-Score, SAPS-II-Score, SOFA-Score, MV and vasopressor support) associated with increased mortality after allo-HSCT and admission to the ICU. The outcome of allo-HSCT patients admitted to the ICU is not as poor as previously reported. Even older patients under long-term ventilation may benefit from intensive care therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospitals with their high antimicrobial selection pressure represent the presumably most important reservoir of multidrug-resistant human pathogens. Antibiotics administered in the course of treatment are excreted and discharged into the wastewater system. Not only in patients, but also in the sewers, antimicrobial substances exert selection pressure on existing bacteria and promote the emergence and dissemination of multidrug-resistant clones. In previous studies, two main clusters were identified in all sections of the hospital wastewater network that was investigated, one K. pneumoniae ST147 cluster encoding NDM- and OXA-48 carbapenemases and one VIM-encoding P. aeruginosa ST823 cluster. In the current study, we investigated if NDM- and OXA-48-encoding K. pneumoniae and VIM-encoding P. aeruginosa isolates recovered between 2014 and 2021 from oncological patients belonged to those same clusters. METHODS The 32 isolates were re-cultured, whole-genome sequenced, phenotypically tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility, and analyzed for clonality and resistance genes in silico. RESULTS Among these strains, 25 belonged to the two clusters that had been predominant in the wastewater, while two others belonged to a sequence-type less prominently detected in the drains of the patient rooms. CONCLUSION Patients constantly exposed to antibiotics can, in interaction with their persistently antibiotic-exposed sanitary facilities, form a niche that might be supportive for the emergence, the development, the dissemination, and the maintenance of certain nosocomial pathogen populations in the hospital, due to antibiotic-induced selection pressure. Technical and infection control solutions might help preventing transmission of microorganisms from the wastewater system to the patient and vice versa, particularly concerning the shower and toilet drainage. However, a major driving force might also be antibiotic induced selection pressure and parallel antimicrobial stewardship efforts could be essential.

Abstract
Recurrently mutated in lymphoid neoplasms, the transcription factor RFX7 is emerging as a tumor suppressor. Previous reports suggested that RFX7 may also have a role in neurological and metabolic disorders. We recently reported that RFX7 responds to p53 signaling and cellular stress. Furthermore, we found RFX7 target genes to be dysregulated in numerous cancer types also beyond the hematological system. However, our understanding of RFX7's target gene network and its role in health and disease remains limited. Here, we generated RFX7 knock-out cells and employed a multi-omics approach integrating transcriptome, cistrome, and proteome data to obtain a more comprehensive picture of RFX7 targets. We identify novel target genes linked to RFX7's tumor suppressor function and underscoring its potential role in neurological disorders. Importantly, our data reveal RFX7 as a mechanistic link that enables the activation of these genes in response to p53 signaling.

Abstract
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for cancer treatment are associated with a spectrum of immune-related adverse events, including ICI-induced myocarditis; however, the extent of subclinical acute cardiac effects related to ICI treatment is unclear. Purpose To explore the extent of cardiac injury and inflammation related to ICI therapy that can be detected with use of cardiac MRI. Materials and Methods In this prospective study from November 2019 to April 2021, oncologic participants, without known underlying structural heart disease or cardiac symptoms, underwent multiparametric cardiac MRI before planned ICI therapy (baseline) and 3 months after starting ICI therapy (follow-up). The cardiac MRI protocol incorporated assessment of cardiac function, including systolic myocardial strain, myocardial edema, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), T1 and T2 relaxation times, and extracellular volume fraction. The paired t test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and McNemar test were used for intraindividual comparisons. Results Twenty-two participants (mean age ± standard deviation, 65 years ± 14; 13 men) were evaluated, receiving a median of four infusions of ICI therapy (interquartile range, four to six infusions). Compared with baseline MRI, participants displayed increased markers of diffuse myocardial edema at follow-up (T1 relaxation time, 972 msec ± 26 vs 1006 msec ± 36 [P < .001]; T2 relaxation time, 54 msec ± 3 vs 58 msec ± 4 [P < .001]; T2 signal intensity ratio, 1.5 ± 0.3 vs 1.7 ± 0.3 [P = .03]). Left ventricular average systolic longitudinal strain had decreased at follow-up MRI (-23.4% ± 4.8 vs -19.6% ± 5.1, respectively; P = .005). New nonischemic LGE lesions were prevalent in two of 22 participants (9%). Compared with baseline, small pericardial effusions were more evident at follow-up (one of 22 participants [5%] vs 10 of 22 [45%]; P = .004). Conclusion In participants who received immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for cancer treatment, follow-up cardiac MRI scans showed signs of systolic dysfunction and increased parameters of myocardial edema and inflammation. © RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Despite its prominence, the mechanisms through which the tumor suppressor p53 regulates most genes remain unclear. Recently, the regulatory factor X 7 (RFX7) emerged as a suppressor of lymphoid neoplasms, but its regulation and target genes mediating tumor suppression remain unknown. Here, we identify a novel p53-RFX7 signaling axis. Integrative analysis of the RFX7 DNA binding landscape and the RFX7-regulated transcriptome in three distinct cell systems reveals that RFX7 directly controls multiple established tumor suppressors, including PDCD4, PIK3IP1, MXD4, and PNRC1, across cell types and is the missing link for their activation in response to p53 and stress. RFX7 target gene expression correlates with cell differentiation and better prognosis in numerous cancer types. Interestingly, we find that RFX7 sensitizes cells to Doxorubicin by promoting apoptosis. Together, our work establishes RFX7’s role as a ubiquitous regulator of cell growth and fate determination and a key node in the p53 transcriptional program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Whole-brain network connectivity has been shown to be a useful biomarker of cerebral amyloid angiopathy and related cognitive impairment. We evaluated an automated DTI-based method, peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity, in cerebral amyloid angiopathy, together with its association with conventional MRI markers and cognitive functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 24 subjects (mean age, 74.7 [SD, 6.0] years) with probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy and mild cognitive impairment and 62 patients with MCI not attributable to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (non-cerebral amyloid angiopathy-mild cognitive impairment). We compared peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity between subjects with cerebral amyloid angiopathy-mild cognitive impairment and non-cerebral amyloid angiopathy-mild cognitive impairment and explored its associations with cognitive functions and conventional markers of cerebral small-vessel disease, using linear regression models. RESULTS Subjects with Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-mild cognitive impairment showed increased peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity in comparison to those with non-cerebral amyloid angiopathy-mild cognitive impairment (P < .001). Peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity values were correlated with the volume of white matter hyperintensities in both groups. Higher peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity was associated with worse performance in processing speed among patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, after adjusting for other MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease. The peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity did not correlate with cognitive functions among those with non-cerebral amyloid angiopathy-mild cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS Peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity is altered in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and is associated with performance in processing speed. This DTI-based method may reflect the degree of white matter structural disruption in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and could be a useful biomarker for cognition in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Outcome for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is poor. Cladribine has activity in AML, and an enhancing effect on other cytostatic drugs thus may help overcome resistance. Here, we present the final analysis of our phase II trial evaluating safety and efficacy of cladribine, cytarabine, and idarubicin (CAI) in relapsed AML. METHODS Patients with relapsed AML after at least 6 months remission received two courses of CAI. After 9 patients, prolonged neutropenia prompted protocol change (omission of idarubicin in 2nd course and dose-reduction of cytarabine). Primary endpoints were remission rate and safety. RESULTS Twenty patients received treatment, fourteen one, and six two courses CAI/CA. After first course, complete remission (CR/CRi) was achieved in 60%. Most frequent toxicity was infection. Median OS was 8.8 months in all patients and 21.1 months in those with CR. Nine patients (48%) proceeded to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), four of those are still alive and in CR, accounting for a 5-year survival rate of 55% of transplanted patients. CONCLUSION Cladribine, cytarabine, and idarubicin in relapsed AML is feasible and induces good response rates. As expected, infections are the most important complication. However, combined with allo-SCT, long-term survival can be achieved in a substantial number of patients.

Abstract
Oxidative modification of cysteine residues has been shown to regulate the activity of several protein-tyrosine kinases. We explored the possibility that Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), a hematopoietic receptor-tyrosine kinase, is subject to this type of regulation. An underlying rationale was that the FLT3 gene is frequently mutated in Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients, and resulting oncogenic variants of FLT3 with 'internal tandem duplications (FLT3ITD)' drive production of reactive oxygen in leukemic cells. FLT3 was moderately activated by treatment of intact cells with hydrogen peroxide. Conversely, FLT3ITD signaling was attenuated by cell treatments with agents inhibiting formation of reactive oxygen species. FLT3 and FLT3ITD incorporated DCP-Bio1, a reagent specifically reacting with sulfenic acid residues. Mutation of FLT3ITD cysteines 695 and 790 reduced DCP-Bio1 incorporation, suggesting that these sites are subject to oxidative modification. Functional characterization of individual FLT3ITD cysteine-to-serine mutants of all 8 cytoplasmic cysteines revealed phenotypes in kinase activity, signal transduction and cell transformation. Replacement of cysteines 681, 694, 695, 807, 925, and 945 attenuated signaling and blocked FLT3ITD-mediated cell transformation, whereas mutation of cysteine 790 enhanced activity of both FLT3ITD and wild-type FLT3. These effects were not related to altered FLT3ITD dimerization, but likely caused by changed intramolecular interactions. The findings identify the functional relevance of all cytoplasmic FLT3ITD cysteines, and indicate the potential for redox regulation of this clinically important oncoprotein.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
It is not uncommon for healthy individuals to have one or more low scores on a battery of cognitive tests. The number of scores produced by the battery by itself can affect the probability of having low scores. The purpose of this study is to examine the rates of low scores on a battery of commonly used neuropsychological tests in soldiers with and without acute mTBI.
Methods
Data from 246 healthy soldiers and 177 soldiers evaluated within seven days of sustaining a mTBI and who had complete and valid data were used in this analysis. All soldiers completed the TOPF, WAIS-IV, CVLT-II, RCFT, DKEFS, and CPT-II. The CARB was used as a measure of effort. For each group, we determined the proportions of soldiers who had various numbers of scores that were 1.0 or more, 1.5 or more, 2.0 or more standard deviations below the normative means for each score. We used prevalence ratios to compare the proportions with low scores in each group.
Results
Low scores were common in both groups (93.1% and 96.0% of controls and mTBI cases, respectively, had at least one score 1.0+ SDs below norm, 57.7% and 79.1% had at least one score 1.5+ SDs below norm, while 30.5% and 48.0% had at least score 2.0+ SDs below norm). Low scores were more common in the mTBI group.
Conclusion
Examining rates of low scores can help identify clinically meaningful performance decrements across an entire battery when large numbers of scores are available.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The Automated Neurological Assessment Metrics (Version 4) Traumatic Brain Injury Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery is widely used by the US military to assess cognitive function. We compare intra-individual agreement between ANAM4 TBI-MIL and a battery of traditional neuropsychological tests using rates of low scores.
Methods
Complete and valid data from 246 healthy soldiers and 177 soldiers ≤7 days from sustaining mild TBI (mTBI) were used in this analysis. All soldiers were consecutively administered ANAM4 TBI-MIL and a traditional test battery consisting of: TOPF, WAIS-IV, CVLT-II, RCFT, DKEFS, and CPT-II. We performed base rate analyses of both batteries to determine the proportions of soldiers who had various numbers of scores that were 1.0+, 1.5+, and 2.0+ standard deviations below the normative mean. We used those rates to place Soldiers into a “low score hierarchy” ranging from the least poor (i.e. ~≥10th %ile) to the worst overall performance (i.e. ~≤10th %ile). We then compared agreement between the batteries at each of those levels.
Results
More soldiers with mTBI had low scores than healthy soldiers on both batteries. Of the soldiers who performed at the worst level on one battery, 88.1% from ANAM and 100% from traditional had some level of poor performance on the other battery. However, of the soldiers who performed at the worst level on either battery, only 58.3% from ANAM and 50.0% from traditional also performed at the worst level on the other battery.
Conclusion
These batteries similarly identify poor performance to a degree, though with some potentially meaningful differences still present.

Abstract
Summary
Objectives:
Electroencephalographic burst activity characteristic of burst-suppression pattern (BSP) in sedated patients and of burst-interburst pattern (BIP) in the quiet sleep of healthy neonates have similar linear and non-linear signal properties. Strong interrelations between a slow frequency component and rhythmic, spindle-like activities with higher frequencies have been identified in previous studies. Time-varying characteristics of BSP and BIP prevent a definite pattern-related analysis. A continuous estimation of the bispectrum is essential to analyze these patterns. Parametric bispectral approaches provide this opportunity.
Methods:
The adaptation of an AR model leads to a parametric bispectrum by using the transfer function of the estimated AR filter. Time-variant parametric bispectral approaches require an estimation of AR parameters which consider higher order moments to preserve phase information. Accordingly, a time-variant parametric estimation of the bispectrum was introduced. Data driven simulations were performed to provide optimal parameters. BSP (12 patients) and BIP (6 neonates) were analyzed using this novel approach.
Results:
Significant differences in the time course of burst pattern during BSP and burst-like pattern before the onset of BSP could be shown. A rhythmic quadratic phase coupling (period 10 sec) was identified during BIP in all neonates.
Conclusion:
Quadratic phase couplings during BSP increases in the time course depending on depth of sedation. The visually detected burst activity in BIP is only the temporarily observable EEG correlate of a hidden neural process. Time-variant bispectral approaches offer the possibility of a better characterization of underlying neural processes leading to improved diagnostic tools used in clinical routine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reduction of CT tube current is an effective strategy to minimize radiation load. However, tube current is also a major determinant of image quality. We investigated the impact of CTA tube current on spot sign detection and diagnostic performance for intracerebral hemorrhage expansion. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a prospectively collected cohort of consecutive patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage from January 2001 to April 2015 who underwent CTA. The study population was divided into 2 groups according to the median CTA tube current level: low current (<350 mA) and high current (≥350 mA). CTA first-pass readings for spot sign presence were independently analyzed by 2 readers. Baseline and follow-up hematoma volumes were assessed by semiautomated computer-assisted volumetric analysis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of spot sign in predicting hematoma expansion were calculated. RESULTS This study included 709 patients (288 and 421 in the low- and high-current groups, respectively). A higher proportion of low-current scans identified at least 1 spot sign (20.8% versus 14.7%, P = .034), but hematoma expansion frequency was similar in the 2 groups (18.4% versus 16.2%, P = .434). Sensitivity and positive and negative predictive values were not significantly different between the 2 groups. Conversely, high-current scans showed superior specificity (91% versus 84%, P = .015) and overall accuracy (84% versus 77%, P = .038). CONCLUSIONS CTA obtained at high levels of tube current showed better diagnostic accuracy for prediction of hematoma expansion by using spot sign. These findings may have implications for future studies using the CTA spot sign to predict hematoma expansion for clinical trials.

Abstract
AIM Perineal herniation following abdomino-perineal excision of the rectum (APER) can be debilitating. Repair options include a transabdominal (laparoscopic or open), perineal or a combined approach, but there is no consensus on the optimal technique. We describe a novel laparoscopic two-mesh technique and short- to medium-term outcomes. METHOD Six patients underwent this operation between 2008 and 2014. Patients were positioned in a modified Lloyd-Davies position, allowing perineal access, and steep Trendelenburg to aid displacement of small bowel from the pelvis. A polypropylene mesh was shaped, placed over the hernial defect, tacked postero-laterally and sutured antero-laterally to reconstitute the pelvic diaphragm. A second larger mesh (composite) was placed over the first supporting mesh and secured with tacks and sutures, overlapping the hernial defect, preventing small bowel contact with the mesh. RESULTS The median time from the index operation to presentation of the hernia was 5 months. One patient with dense small bowel adhesions from the primary repair had a combined laparoscopic and perineal approach. The median operating time was 141 min and median length of stay was 3 days. There were no intra-operative complications and no recurrences over a follow-up of 1-76 months. CONCLUSION We describe a novel laparoscopic technique for perineal hernia repair following APER with a low recurrence rate in the intermediate term.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although the potential benefits of stereoscopic laparoscopy have been recognized for years, the technology has not been adopted because of poor operator tolerance. Passive polarizing projection systems, which have revolutionized three-dimensional (3D) cinema, are now being trialled in surgery. This study was designed to see whether this technology resulted in significant performance benefits for skilled laparoscopists.
Methods
Four validated laparoscopic skills tasks, each with ten repetitions, were performed by 20 experienced laparoscopic surgeons, in both two-dimensional (2D) and 3D conditions. The primary outcome measure was the performance error rate; secondary outcome measures were time for task completion, 3D motion tracking (path length, motion smoothness and grasping frequency) and workload dimension ratings of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Task Load Index.
Results
Surgeons demonstrated a 62 per cent reduction in the median number of errors and a 35 per cent reduction in median performance time when using the passive polarizing 3D display compared with the 2D display. There was a significant 15 per cent reduction in median instrument path length, an enhancement of median motion smoothness, and a 15 per cent decrease in grasper frequency with the 3D display. Participants reported significant reductions in subjective workload dimension ratings of the NASA Task Load Index following use of the 3D displays.
Conclusion
Passive polarizing 3D displays improved both the performance of experienced surgeons in a simulated setting and surgeon perception of the operative field. Although it has been argued that the experience of skilled laparoscopic surgeons compensates fully for the loss of stereopsis, this study indicates that this is not the case.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Does post-menopausal endometrium contain mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) that have adult stem cell properties and can be prospectively isolated from a biopsy? SUMMARY ANSWER Perivascular W5C5(+) cells isolated from post-menopausal endometrial biopsies displayed characteristic MSC properties of clonogenicity, multipotency and surface phenotype irrespective of whether the women were or were not pre-treated with estrogen to regenerate the endometrium. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Recently MSCs have been identified in human premenopausal endometrium, and can be prospectively isolated using a single marker, W5C5/SUSD2. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Endometrial tissue of both the functional and basal layers, from 17 premenopausal (pre-MP) women, 19 post-menopausal (post-MP) women without hormonal treatment and 15 post-menopausal women on estrogen replacement therapy (post-MP+ E2), was collected through a prospective phase IV clinical trial over 2 years. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Post-menopausal women <65 years of age were treated with or without E2 for 6-8 weeks prior to tissue collection. Serum E2 levels were determined by estradiol immunoenzymatic assay. Endometrial tissue was obtained from women by biopsy (curettage) just prior to the hysterectomy. The effect of E2 on endometrial thickness and glandular and luminal epithelial height was determined using image analysis. Endometrial tissue was dissociated into single cell suspensions and MSC properties were examined in freshly isolated and short-term cultured, magnetic bead-purified W5C5(+) cells. MSC properties were assessed using clonogenicity, serial cloning, mesodermal differentiation in adipogenic, chondrogenic, osteogenic and myogenic induction culture media, and surface phenotype analysis by flow cytometry. Estrogen receptor α expression in W5C5(+) cells was examined using dual colour immunofluorescence. Vascularity was analysed using CD34 and alpha smooth muscle actin immunostaining and subsequent image analysis. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE A small population of stromal cells with MSC properties was purified with the W5C5 antibody from post-menopausal endometrium, whether atrophic from low circulating estrogen or regenerated from systemic estrogen treatment, similar to premenopausal endometrium. The MSC derived from post-menopausal endometrium treated with or without E2 fulfilled the minimum MSC criteria: clonogenicity, surface phenotype (CD29(+), CD44(+), CD73(+), CD105(+), CD140b(+), CD146(+)) and multipotency. The post-menopausal endometrial MSCs also showed comparable properties to premenopausal eMSC with respect to self-renewal in vitro and W5C5 expression. The W5C5(+) cells were located perivascularly as expected and did not express estrogen receptor α. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The properties of the MSC derived from post-menopausal endometrium were evaluated in vitro and their in vivo tissue reconstitution capacity has not been established as it has for premenopausal endometrial MSC. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The endometrium is an accessible source of MSC obtainable with minimum morbidity that could be used for future clinical applications as a cell-based therapy. This study shows that menopausal women can access their endometrial MSC by a simple biopsy for use in autologous therapies, particularly if their endometrium has been regenerated by short-term E2 treatment, provided they have an intact uterus and are not contraindicated for short-term E2 treatment. Endometrial MSC in post-menopausal women possess key MSC properties and are a promising source of MSC independent of a woman's age.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ATACH-II trial is designed to evaluate whether intensive blood pressure reduction can reduce hematoma growth and improve outcome. However, it is difficult to determine, at presentation, which patients are at highest risk of ongoing bleeding, and will receive the most clinical benefit from blood pressure therapy. It may be that improved predictive markers will lead to efficient, personalized selection of optimal therapy. We hypothesize that specific imaging findings on CT angiography (CTA) and MRI will mark those patients who receive the most benefit from intensive blood pressure reduction. METHODS Many patients enrolled in ATACH-II will undergo CTA and/or MRI as part of routine clinical care. We will perform a blinded analysis of these images. For CTA, we will determine the presence of contrast pooling (also termed contrast extravasation or the "Spot Sign"). In addition, we will calculate a Spot Sign Score, a score that includes number of Spot Signs, diameter, and contrast density. For MRI, we will focus on the presence, number, and location of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) on sensitive T2*-weighted MRI sequences. RESULTS We will test the hypothesis that patients with a Spot Sign will receive clinical benefit from intensive blood pressure reduction. In addition, we will determine whether patients with the highest Spot Sign Scores receive the most benefit from intensive blood pressure reduction. Finally, we will determine whether the absence of CMBs marks those at higher risk for hematoma expansion, and therefore more likely to benefit from treatment. CONCLUSION This ancillary study offers the tremendous opportunity to determine whether imaging findings can risk stratify ICH patients for acute therapies aimed at limiting hematoma growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accumulated evidence suggests that a variant within the CR1 gene (single nucleotide polymorphism rs6656401), known to increase risk for Alzheimer disease (AD), influences β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in brain tissue. Given the biologic overlap between AD and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), a leading cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in elderly individuals, we investigated whether rs6656401 increases the risk of CAA-related ICH and influences vascular Aβ deposition. METHODS We performed a case-control genetic association study of 89 individuals with CAA-related ICH and 280 individuals with ICH unrelated to CAA and compared them with 324 ICH-free control subjects. We also investigated the effect of rs6656401 on risk of recurrent CAA-ICH in a prospective longitudinal cohort of ICH survivors. Finally, association with severity of histopathologic CAA was investigated in 544 autopsy specimens from 2 longitudinal studies of aging. RESULTS rs6656401 was associated with CAA-ICH (odds ratio [OR] = 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-2.17, p = 8.0 × 10(-4)) as well as with risk of recurrent CAA-ICH (hazard ratio = 1.35, 95% CI 1.04-1.76, p = 0.024). Genotype at rs6656401 was also associated with severity of CAA pathology at autopsy (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.05-1.71, p = 0.009). Adjustment for parenchymal amyloid burden did not cancel this effect, suggesting that, despite the correlation between parenchymal and vascular amyloid pathology, CR1 acts independently on both processes, thus increasing risk of both AD and CAA. CONCLUSION The CR1 variant rs6656401 influences risk and recurrence of CAA-ICH, as well as the severity of vascular amyloid deposition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) with warfarin increases mortality and disability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the result of increased ICH volume and risk of hematoma expansion. We investigated whether OAT also influences risk of development of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), the volume of IVH and IVH expansion, and whether IVH is a substantive mediator of the overall effect of OAT on ICH outcome. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected single-center cohort of 1,879 consecutive ICH cases (796 lobar, 865 deep, 153 cerebellar, 15 multiple location, 50 primary IVH) from 1999 to 2009. ICH and IVH volumes at presentation, as well as hematoma expansion (>33% or >6 mL increase) and IVH expansion (>2 mL increase), were determined using established semiautomated methods. Outcome was assessed at 90 days using either the modified Rankin Scale or Glasgow Outcome Scale. RESULTS Warfarin use was associated with IVH risk, IVH volume at presentation, and IVH expansion in both lobar and deep ICH (all p < 0.05) in a dose-response relationship with international normalized ratio. Warfarin was associated with poor outcome in both lobar and deep ICH (p < 0.01), and >95% of this effect was accounted for by baseline ICH and IVH volumes, as well as ICH and IVH expansion. CONCLUSION Warfarin increases IVH volume and risk of IVH expansion in lobar and deep ICH. These findings (along with effects on ICH volume and expansion) likely represent the mechanisms by which anticoagulation worsens ICH functional outcome.

Abstract
Time-variant partial directed coherence (tvPDC) is used for the first time in a multivariate analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory movements (RMs) and (systolic) arterial blood pressure. It is shown that respiration-related HRV components which also occur at other frequencies besides the RM frequency (= respiratory sinus arrhythmia, RSA) can be identified. These additional components are known to be an effect of the 'half-the-mean-heart-rate-dilemma' ('cardiac aliasing' CA). These CA components may contaminate the entire frequency range of HRV and can lead to misinterpretation of the RSA analysis. TvPDC analysis of simulated and clinical data (full-term neonates and sedated patients) reveals these contamination effects and, in addition, the respiration-related CA components can be separated from the RSA component and the Traube-Hering-Mayer wave. It can be concluded that tvPDC can be beneficially applied to avoid misinterpretations in HRV analyses as well as to quantify partial correlative interaction properties between RM and RSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a highly lethal disease of the elderly. Use of statins is increasingly widespread among the elderly, and therefore common in patients who develop ICH. Accumulating data suggests that statins have neuroprotective effects, but their association with ICH outcome has been inconsistent. We therefore performed a meta-analysis of all available evidence, including unpublished data from our own institution, to determine whether statin exposure is protective for patients who develop ICH. METHODS In our prospectively ascertained cohort, we compared 90-day functional outcome in 238 pre-ICH statin cases and 461 statin-free ICH cases. We then meta-analyzed results from our cohort along with previously published studies using a random effects model, for a total of 698 ICH statin cases and 1,823 non-statin-exposed subjects. RESULTS Data from our center demonstrated an association between statin use before ICH and increased probability of favorable outcome (odds ratio [OR] = 2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.37-3.17) and reduced mortality (OR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.32-0.70) at 90 days. No compound-specific statin effect was identified. Meta-analysis of all published evidence confirmed the effect of statin use on good outcome (OR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.38-2.65) and mortality (OR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.42-0.72) after ICH. CONCLUSION Antecedent use of statins prior to ICH is associated with favorable outcome and reduced mortality after ICH. This phenomenon appears to be a class effect of statins. Further studies are required to clarify the biological mechanisms underlying these observations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) presenting within 3 hours of symptom onset are known to be at increased risk of expansion. However, only a minority arrive within this time frame. Therefore, alternative markers for expansion risk are needed. OBJECTIVE To examine whether contrast extravasation on CT angiography (CTA) at presentation predicts subsequent hematoma expansion. METHODS Consecutive patients with primary ICH presenting to an urban tertiary care hospital were prospectively captured in a database. We retrospectively reviewed images for all patients receiving a CTA and at least one further CT scan within 48 hours. RESULTS Complete data were available for 104 patients. Contrast extravasation at the time of CTA was present in 56% of patients, and associated with an increased risk of hematoma expansion (22% vs 2%, p = 0.003). Patients who received a baseline CTA within 3 hours were more likely to have subsequent expansion (27%, vs 13% for those presenting later, p = 0.1). However, after multivariable analysis, contrast extravasation was the only significant predictor of hematoma expansion (OR 18, 95% CI 2.1 to 162). This effect was independent of time to presentation. CONCLUSIONS Contrast extravasation is independently associated with hematoma expansion. Patients presenting within the first few hours after symptom onset have traditionally been considered those at highest risk of expansion. However, for those presenting later, the presence of contrast may be a useful marker to guide therapies aimed at decreasing this risk.

Abstract
Reduced birth weight predisposes to cardiovascular diseases in later life. We examined in fetal sheep at 0.76 (n = 18) and 0.87 (n = 17) gestation whether spontaneously occurring variations in fetal weight affect maturation of autonomic control of cardiovascular function. Fetal weights at both gestational ages were grouped statistically in low (LW) and normal weights (NW) (P < 0.01). LW fetuses were within the normal weight span showing minor growth dysproportionality at 0.76 gestation favouring heart and brain, with a primary growth of carcass between 0.76 and 0.87 gestation (P < 0.05). While twins largely contributed to LW fetuses, weight differences between singletons and twins were absent at 0.76 and modest at 0.87 gestation, underscoring the fact that twins belong to normality in fetal sheep not constituting a major malnutritive condition. Mean fetal blood pressure (FBP) of all fetuses was negatively correlated to fetal weight at 0.76 but not 0.87 gestation (P < 0.05). At this age, FBP and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity were increased in LW fetuses (P < 0.05), suggesting increased sympathetic activity and immaturity of circulatory control. Development of vagal modulation of fetal heart rate depended on fetal weight (P < 0.01). These functional associations were largely independent of twin pregnancies. We conclude, low fetal weight within the normal weight span is accompanied by a different trajectory of development of sympathetic blood pressure and vagal heart rate control. This may contribute to the development of elevated blood pressure in later life. Examination of the underlying mechanisms and consequences may contribute to the understanding of programming of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The heart rate variability (HRV) can be taken as an indicator of the coordination of the cardio-respiratory rhythms. Bispectral analysis using a direct (fast Fourier transform based) and time-invariant approach has shown the occurrence of a quadratic phase coupling (QPC) between a low-frequency (LF: 0.1 Hz) and a high-frequency (HF: 0.4-0.6 Hz) component of the HRV during quiet sleep in healthy neonates. The low-frequency component corresponds to the Mayer-Traube-Hering waves in blood pressure and the high-frequency component to the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Time-variant, parametric estimation of the bispectrum provides the possibility of quantifying QPC in the time course. Therefore, the aim of this work was a parametric, time-variant bispectral analysis of the neonatal HRV in the same neonates used in the direct, time-invariant approach. For the first time rhythms in the time course of QPC between the HF component and the LF component could be shown in the neonatal HRV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Electroencephalographic burst activity characteristic of burst-suppression pattern (BSP) in sedated patients and of burst-interburst pattern (BIP) in the quiet sleep of healthy neonates have similar linear and non-linear signal properties. Strong interrelations between a slow frequency component and rhythmic, spindle-like activities with higher frequencies have been identified in previous studies. Time-varying characteristics of BSP and BIP prevent a definite patternrelated analysis. A continuous estimation of the bispectrum is essential to analyze these patterns. Parametric bispectral approaches provide this opportunity. METHODS The adaptation of an AR model leads to a parametric bispectrum by using the transfer function of the estimated AR filter. Time-variant parametric bispectral approaches require an estimation of AR parameters which consider higher order moments to preserve phase information. Accordingly, a time-variant parametric estimation of the bispectrum was introduced. Data driven simulations were performed to provide optimal parameters. BSP (12 patients) and BIP (6 neonates) were analyzed using this novel approach. RESULTS Significant differences in the time course of burst pattern during BSP and burst-like pattern before the onset of BSP could be shown. A rhythmic quadratic phase coupling (period 10 sec) was identified during BIP in all neonates. CONCLUSION Quadratic phase couplings during BSP increases in the time course depending on depth of sedation. The visually detected burst activity in BIP is only the temporarily observable EEG correlate of a hidden neural process. Time-variant bispectral approaches offer the possibility of a better characterization of underlying neural processes leading to improved diagnostic tools used in clinical routine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The time courses of quadratic phase-coupling (QPC) of electroencephalographic burst and interburst patterns of the 'trace alternant' (TA) in full-term newborns have been quantified. METHODS Using the Gabor expansion, a fast Fourier transformation based method, biamplitude, bicoherence and phase-bicoherence time courses of both burst and interburst patterns have been determined (common average reference EEG recordings). With a frequency resolution of 0.25 Hz and a frequency grid of 1-1.5 <==> 3.5-4.5 Hz (region-of-interest), a number of 15 frequency pairs result. These pairs have been investigated. RESULTS The burst and the interburst patterns are characterized by temporally and topographically different QPC profiles. All differences are dominant at the electrode Fp1 followed by Fp2. There is a significant difference (combined multiple and global test strategy) in the QPC characteristics between both patterns within the time period from 0.75 to 1.5 s after the pattern onset at electrode Fp1. The maximal QPC in burst patterns (especially at Fp1) can be observed during this time period. In contrast to this finding, maximal QPC in interburst patterns (at Fp1) are reached immediately after the onset and at 3 s. Summarising all findings, a QPC-rhythm of 0.1 Hz during TA can be assumed. CONCLUSIONS It can be assumed that the QPC rhythm of the TA is generated by a pattern-spanning time-variant phase-locking process and there are indications for a possible correspondence between the QPC rhythm and vegetative rhythms. SIGNIFICANCE This study showed that advanced, time-variant analysis methods quantifying QPC rhythms are able to add new scientific information to the understanding of nature, characteristics and significance of TA in the neonatal EEG.
