Abstract
Phase-contrast computed tomography can visualize soft tissue samples with high contrast. At coherent sources, propagation-based imaging (PBI) techniques are among the most common, as they are easy to implement and produce high-resolution images. Their downside is a low degree of quantitative data due to simplifying assumptions of the sample properties in the reconstruction. These assumptions can be avoided, by using quantitative phase-contrast techniques as an alternative. However, these often compromise spatial resolution and require complicated setups. In order to overcome this limitation, we designed and constructed a new imaging setup using a 2D Talbot array illuminator as a wavefront marker and speckle-based imaging phase-retrieval techniques. We developed a post-processing chain that can compensate for wavefront marker drifts and that improves the overall sensitivity. By comparing two measurements of biomedical samples, we demonstrate that the spatial resolution of our setup is comparable to the one of PBI scans while being able to successfully image a sample that breaks the typical homogeneity assumption used in PBI.

Abstract
With growing molecular evidence for correlations between spatial arrangement of blood vasculature and fundamental immunological functions, carried out in distinct compartments of the subdivided lymph node, there is an urgent need for three-dimensional models that can link these aspects. We reconstructed such models at a 1.84 µm resolution by the means of X-ray phase-contrast imaging with a 2D Talbot array in a short time without any staining. In addition reconstructions are verified in immunohistochemistry staining as well as in ultrastructural analyses. While conventional illustrations of mammalian lymph nodes depict the hilus as a definite point of blood and lymphatic vessel entry and exit, our method revealed that multiple branches enter and emerge from an area that extends up to one third of the organ's surface. This could be a prerequisite for the drastic and location-dependent remodeling of vascularization, which is necessary for lymph node expansion during inflammation. Contrary to corrosion cast studies we identified B-cell follicles exhibiting a two times denser capillary network than the deep cortical units of the T-cell zone. In addition to our observation of high endothelial venules spatially surrounding the follicles, this suggests a direct connection between morphology and B-cell homing. Our findings will deepen the understanding of functional lymph node composition and lymphocyte migration on a fundamental basis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) Talbot array illuminators (TAIs) were designed, fabricated, and evaluated for high-resolution high-contrast x-ray phase imaging of soft tissue at 10-20 keV. The TAIs create intensity modulations with a high compression ratio on the micrometer scale at short propagation distances. Their performance was compared with various other wavefront markers in terms of period, visibility, flux efficiency, and flexibility to be adapted for limited beam coherence and detector resolution. Differential x-ray phase contrast and dark-field imaging were demonstrated with a one-dimensional, linear phase stepping approach yielding 2D phase sensitivity using unified modulated pattern analysis (UMPA) for phase retrieval. The method was employed for x-ray phase computed tomography reaching a resolution of 3 µm on an unstained murine artery. It opens new possibilities for three-dimensional, non-destructive, and quantitative imaging of soft matter such as virtual histology. The phase modulators can also be used for various other x-ray applications such as dynamic phase imaging, super-resolution structured illumination microscopy, or wavefront sensing.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Cholesterol chrystals (CC) represent a feature of advanced plaque remodeling. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows for detailed morphological assessment of the culprit lesion, including the presence of CCs, in vivo. Since CCs have been identified as prognostically relevant plaque feature in coronary artery disease (CAD), the present analysis aims to further characterize their impact on adverse cardiovascular outcome in a large cohort of patients, presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods
Within the translational OPTICO-ACS study program, 371 consecutive ACS-patients were included into the final analysis. OCT-characteristics, including the presence of CCs, were assessed by a standardized CoreLab analysis following universal consensus standards for OCT-derived plaque features. All patients were followed up for 12 months after the index event and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) consisting of death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization plus re-hospitalization due to unstable or progressive angina pectoris were documented.
Results
215 patients (58.1%) presented with cholesterol chrystals (CCs) at the culprit lesion. Plaque rupture (RFC-ACS) represented the primary ACS-causing pathophysiology (75.3%) in those patients. Further, the presence of CCs was associated with other high-risk features within the culprit lesion, i.e. the presence of thin cap fibroatheroma (77.7% vs. 63.2%; p<0.05), plaque calcification (80.5% vs. 67.1; p<0.01) and microchannels (80.1% vs. 70.1; p<0.05) as well as an increased area stenosis (0.77 vs. 0.73 mm2; p<0.01) and a greater maximum lipid arc (282.8 vs. 242.6°; p<0.01) as compared to culprit lesions free of CCs. Of note, there was a strong association among the occurrence of macrophages within the plaque and cholesterol crystals. Finally, and most importantly MACE during 12 months follow-up, consisting of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization and re-hospitalization due to progressive or unstable angina pectoris, occurred with nearly twice the frequency in CC-patients (20.3% vs. 10.6%; p<0.01) as compared to patients without CCs at the culprit site.
Conclusion
The present analysis introduces cholesterol chrystals as a novel prognostically relevant high-risk plaque feature allowing individual risk stratification for patients after ACS.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus infection is causing chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. By combining direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), high sustained virologic response rates (SVRs) can be achieved. Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) are commonly observed after DAA failure, and especially nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) RASs may impact retreatment options.1-3 Data on retreatment of DAA failure patients using first-generation DAAs are limited.4-7 Recently, a second-generation protease- and NS5A-inhibitor plus sofosbuvir (voxilaprevir/velpatasvir/sofosbuvir [VOX/VEL/SOF]) was approved for retreatment after DAA failure.8 However, this and other second-generation regimens are not available in many resource-limited countries or are not reimbursed by regular insurance, and recommendations regarding the selection of retreatment regimens using first-generation DAAs are very important. This study aimed to analyze patients who were re-treated with first-generation DAAs after failure of a DAA combination therapy.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveThe primary objective of this randomised, active–controlled, parallel group, double-blind study was to evaluate the tolerability of treatment with either amisulpride or risperidone in elderly patients with schizophrenia aged over 65 years; evaluation of efficacy was a secondary objective.MethodsThe study included patients of either sex aged 65 years or older fulfilling DSM IV-diagnostic criteria for psychotic disorders and who presented psychotic symptoms severe enough to require antipsychotic medication. Subjects were randomly allocated to a flexible dose of either amisulpride (100–400 mg/day) or risperidone (1–4 mg/day) for six weeks following a three- to six-day placebo wash-out period. Safety assessment involved adverse event reporting, physical examination, blood pressure, heart rate and ECG monitoring, and laboratory tests. Extrapyramidal symptoms were evaluated with the Simpson–Angus Scale, Barnes Akathisia Scale and the AIMS. Efficacy parameters were changes in score on the PANSS, BPRS, CDS and MMSE scores.ResultsThirty-eight patients were randomised, 25 to amisulpride and 13 to risperidone. A total of 26 adverse events were experienced by 10 patients in the amisulpride group and five patients in the risperidone group. One patient in each group discontinued the study due to the emergence of a movement disorder. Changes in scores on the three measures of extrapyramidal symptoms were similar in the two groups. The PANSS total score decreased by 27.8% in the amisulpride group and by 29% in the risperidone group between inclusion and study end.ConclusionAmisulpride and risperidone are generally well tolerated in elderly patients with schizophrenia. Both drugs appeared to be efficacious in this study population, with no differences in efficacy being observed. However, the sample size was too low to reveal potential inter-group differences. Both these atypical antipsychotics thus appear to be suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia in the elderly.

Abstract
AbstractBackground:Aim was to examine depressive symptoms in acutely ill schizophrenia patients on a single symptom basis and to evaluate their relationship with positive, negative and general psychopathological symptoms.Methods:Two hundred and seventy-eight patients suffering from a schizophrenia spectrum disorder were analysed within a naturalistic study by the German Research Network on Schizophrenia. Using the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) depressive symptoms were examined and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was applied to assess positive, negative and general symptoms. Correlation and factor analyses were calculated to detect the underlying structure and relationship of the patient’s symptoms.Results:The most prevalent depressive symptoms identified were depressed mood (80%), observed depression (62%) and hopelessness (54%). Thirty-nine percent of the patients suffered from depressive symptoms when applying the recommended cut-off of a CDSS total score of > 6 points at admission. Negligible correlations were found between depressive and positive symptoms as well as most PANSS negative and global symptoms despite items on depression, guilt and social withdrawal. The factor analysis revealed that the factor loading with the PANSS negative items accounted for most of the data variance followed by a factor with positive symptoms and three depression-associated factors.Limitations:The naturalistic study design does not allow a sufficient control of study results for the effect of different pharmacological treatments possibly influencing the appearance of depressive symptoms.Conclusion:Results suggest that depressive symptoms measured with the CDSS are a discrete symptom domain with only partial overlap with positive or negative symptoms.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundSelf-ratings of psychotic experiences might be biased by depressive symptoms.MethodData from a large naturalistic multicentre trial on depressed inpatients (n = 488) who were assessed on a biweekly basis until discharge were analyzed. Self-rated psychotic symptoms as assessed with the 90-Item Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) were correlated with the SCL-90 total score, the SCL-90 depression score, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 21 item (HAMD-21) total score, the Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score and the clinician-rated paranoid-hallucinatory score of the Association for Methodology and Documentation in Psychiatry (AMDP) scale.ResultsAt discharge the SCL-90 psychosis score correlated highest with the SCL-90 depression score (0.78, P<0.001) and with the BDI total score (0.64, P<0.001). Moderate correlations were found for the MADRS (0.34, P<0.001), HAMD (0.37, P<0.001) and AMDP depression score (0.33, P<0.001). Only a weak correlation was found between the SCL-90 psychosis score and the AMDP paranoid-hallucinatory syndrome score (0.15, P<0.001). Linear regression showed that change in self-rated psychotic symptoms over the treatment course was best explained by a change in the SCL-90 depression score (P<0.001). The change in clinician-rated AMDP paranoid-hallucinatory score had lesser influence (P = 0.02).ConclusionsIn depressed patients self-rated psychotic symptoms correlate poorly with clinician-rated psychotic symptoms. Caution is warranted when interpreting results from epidemiological surveys using self-rated psychotic symptom questionnaires as indicators of psychotic symptoms. Depressive symptoms which are highly prevalent in the general population might influence such self-ratings.

Abstract
AbstractBackground:Affective disorders are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, which, at least partly, appears to be independent of psychopharmacological treatments used to manage these disorders. Reduced heart rate variability (SDNN) and a low Omega-3 Index have been shown to be associated with increased risk for death after myocardial infarction. Therefore, we set out to investigate heart rate variability and the Omega-3 Index in euthymic patients with bipolar disorders.Methods:We assessed heart rate variability (SDNN) and the Omega-3 Index in 90 euthymic, mostly medicated patients with bipolar disorders (Bipolar-I, Bipolar-II) on stable psychotropic medication, free of significant medical comorbidity and in 62 healthy controls. Heart rate variability was measured from electrocardiography under a standardized 30 minutes resting state condition. Age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption and caffeine consumption as potential confounders were also assessed.Results:Heart rate variability (SDNN) was significantly lower in patients with bipolar disorders compared to healthy controls (35.4 msec versus 60.7 msec; P < 0.0001), whereas the Omega-3 Index did not differ significantly between the groups (5.2% versus 5.3%). In a linear regression model, only group membership (patients with bipolar disorders versus healthy controls) and age significantly predicted heart rate variability (SDNN).Conclusion:Heart rate variability (SDNN) may provide a useful tool to study the impact of interventions aimed at reducing the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in euthymic patients with bipolar disorders. The difference in SDNN between cases and controls cannot be explained by a difference in the Omega-3 Index.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In up to one third of all cases, acute coronary syndrome occurs without signs of plaque rupture. Instead endothelial cell erosion is considered to be the hallmark of acute coronary syndrome with intact fibrous cap (IFC-ACS), with matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) directly linked to this pathology. The main source of MMP9 immediately after ACS are the neutrophil granulocytes. Therefore, their molecular activation patterns and subsequent MMP9 production are the objectives of the ongoing, translational OPTICO-ACS-Study, aiming to compare the mechanisms and prognosis of IFC-ACS and ACS with ruptured fibrous cap (RFC-ACS).
Methods
Local and systemic blood samples were simultaneously obtained from the site of the ACS-causing culprit lesion (LOC) using an aspiration catheter and from the systemic circulation (SYS). Using optical coherence tomography (OCT) the ACS-causing culprit lesion was characterized and two patient groups, patients with ACS caused by intact (IFC-ACS) and by ruptured fibrous cap (RFC-ACS) were compared. Each group consists of twenty patients (n=20) matched by age, gender and diabetes. Neutrophil counts and expression of activation markers were immediately quantified by whole-blood flow cytometry. Release of active MMP9 into the plasma was assessed by fluorescence-based zymography. Activation profiles of freshly isolated neutrophils, including MMP9 activity and effect on endothelial cell death, in response to toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) stimulation was studied.
Results
Local neutrophils of patients with IFC-ACS show significantly higher expression of TLR2 in comparison to RFC-ACS neutrophils (LOC: 1866±382.1 vs. 1498±426.9; IFC-ACS vs. RFC-ACS, p=0.03). MMP9 activity is significant higher (p=0.01) in plasma obtained from the culprit site of IFC-ACS (74.1 U/ml±4.1) compared to those of RFC-ACS patients (70.0 U/ml±5.1) indicating secretion and activation of the enzyme during IFC-ACS. Importantly, in patients with IFC-ACS, TLR2-stimulation using Pam3CSK4 triggers higher activity rates of MMP9 only in neutrophils isolated directly from the culprit site (LOC), but not systemically (+27%±17.2% IFC-LOC vs. IFC-SYS; p=0.003). This effect was not observed in RFC-derived neutrophils. Inhibiting TLR2 by a monoclonal antibody, strongly reduced secretion of activated MMP9 only in the local neutrophils from IFC-ACS-patients (−54.6%±6.5% in IFC-LOC-anti-TLR2 vs. IFC-LOC-vehicle; p=0.008), but not from systemic IFC-neutrophils, nor from RFC-neutrophils. Furthermore, LOC IFC-ACS neutrophils aggravate endothelial cell death upon TLR2-activation in comparison to LOC RFC-ACS neutrophils (58.4±4.96% vs. 20±1.89%, IFC-ACS vs. RFC-ACS; p=0.0023).
Conclusion
We newly describe differential kinetics of MMP9 release by neutrophils in ACS patients with IFC versus RFC. Our data support a role of a TLR-2 activated and neutrophil-MMP9-mediated mechanism leading to endothelial cell erosion in patients with IFC-ACS.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungAtypische Neuroleptika werden heute für die Behandlung von Patienten mit schizophrenen Erkrankungen als Therapie der ersten Wahl empfohlen, da sie gegenüber den typischen Neuroleptika deutliche Vorteile hinsichtlich des Wirkungsspektrums und des Nebenwirkungsprofils aufweisen. Dies trifft insbesondere für ersterkrankte Patienten zu, da für diese Patientengruppe im Vergleich zu Mehrfacherkrankten ein höheres Risiko für extrapyramidal-motorische Nebenwirkungen beschrieben wurde. Ob die Vorteile der atypischen Neuroleptika aber auch nachweisbar sind, wenn typische Neuroleptika in niedrigen Dosierungen eingesetzt werden, ist bisher empirisch unzureichend geprüft. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden im Rahmen einer multizentrischen, doppelblinden, randomisierten klinischen Studie des Kompetenznetz Schizophrenie die Effekte von Risperidon und Haloperidol im Niedrigdosisbereich (Tagesdosen von 2 mg bis maximal 8 mg für beide Medikamente) in der Akutbehandlung ersterkrankter Patienten verglichen.

Abstract
Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when the rate of isostatic uplift outpaced eustatic sea-level rise. The resultant local shallowing and lowering of hydrostatic pressure forced gas hydrate dissociation and dissolved chloride depletions consistent with our geochemical analysis. Hence, we propose that hydrate dissociation was triggered by postglacial isostatic rebound rather than anthropogenic warming. Furthermore, we show that methane fluxes from dissociating hydrates were considerably smaller than present methane seepage rates implying that gas hydrates were not a major source of methane to the oceans, but rather acted as a dynamic seal, regulating methane release from deep geological reservoirs. Methane seepage from continental slopes has been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic bottom water warming. Here, the authors show that hydrates dissociated before the Anthropocene when the isostatic rebound induced by deglaciation of the Arctic ice sheet outpaced eustatic sea-level rise.

Abstract
InGaN/GaN nanowire heterostructures are presented as nanophotonic probes for the light-triggered photoelectrochemical detection of NADH. We demonstrate that photogenerated electron-hole pairs give rise to a stable anodic photocurrent whose potential- and pH-dependences exhibit broad applicability. In addition, the simultaneous measurement of the photoluminescence provides an additional tool for the analysis and evaluation of light-triggered reaction processes at the nanostructured interface. InGaN/GaN nanowire ensembles can be excited over a wide wavelength range, which avoids interferences of the photoelectrochemical response by absorption properties of the compounds to be analyzed by adjusting the excitation wavelength. The photocurrent of the nanostructures shows an NADH-dependent magnitude. The anodic current increases with rising analyte concentration in a range from 5µM to 10mM, at a comparatively low potential of 0mV vs. Ag/AgCl. Here, the InGaN/GaN nanowires reach high sensitivities of up to 91µAmM-1cm-2 (in the linear range) and provide a good reusability for repetitive NADH detection. These results demonstrate the potential of InGaN/GaN nanowire heterostructures for the defined conversion of this analyte paving the way for the realization of light-switchable sensors for the analyte or biosensors by combination with NADH producing enzymes.

Abstract
The combination of the biocatalytic features of enzymes with the unique physical properties of nanoparticles in a biohybrid system provides a promising approach for the development of advanced bioelectrocatalytic devices. This study describes the construction of photoelectrochemical signal chains based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD) modified gold electrodes as light switchable elements, and low molecular weight redox molecules for the combination with different biocatalysts. Photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence experiments verify that electron transfer can be achieved between the redox molecules hexacyanoferrate and ferrocene, and the QDs under illumination. Since for both redox mediators a concentration dependent photocurrent change has been found, light switchable enzymatic signal chains are built up with fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) and pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase ((PQQ)GDH) for the detection of sugars. After immobilization of the enzymes at the QD electrode the biocatalytic oxidation of the substrates can be followed by conversion of the redox mediator in solution and subsequent detection at the QD electrode. Furthermore, (PQQ)GDH has been assembled together with ferrocenecarboxylic acid on top of the QD electrode for the construction of a funtional biohybrid architecture, showing that electron transfer can be realized from the enzyme over the redox mediator to the QDs and subsequently to the electrode in a completely immobilized fashion. The results obtained here do not only provide the basis for light-switchable biosensing and bioelectrocatalytic applications, but may also open the way for self-driven point-of-care systems by combination with solar cell approaches (power generation at the QD electrode by enzymatic substrate consumption).

Let X(t) be a continuous, homogeneous stochastic process with independent increments characterized by a, σ, M, N in the Lévy representation formula. In this note we obtain the Lévy canonical representation of the characteristic function of a stochastic integral (in the sense of convergence in probability) of the form

Abstract
Let X(t) be a homogeneous and continuous stochastic process with independent increments. The subject of this paper is to characterize the stable process by two identically distributed stochastic integrals formed by means of X(t) (in the sense of convergence in probability). The proof of the main results is based on a modern extension of the Phragmén-Lindelöf theory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with psychosis display the so-called 'Jumping to Conclusions' bias (JTC) - a tendency for hasty decision-making in probabilistic reasoning tasks. So far, only a few studies have evaluated the JTC bias in 'at-risk mental state' (ARMS) patients, specifically in ARMS samples fulfilling 'ultra-high risk' (UHR) criteria, thus not allowing for comparisons between different ARMS subgroups. METHOD In the framework of the PREVENT (secondary prevention of schizophrenia) study, a JTC task was applied to 188 patients either fulfilling UHR criteria or presenting with cognitive basic symptoms (BS). Similar data were available for 30 healthy control participants matched for age, gender, education and premorbid verbal intelligence. ARMS patients were identified by the Structured Interview for Prodromal Symptoms (SIPS) and the Schizophrenia Proneness Instrument - Adult Version (SPI-A). RESULTS The mean number of draws to decision (DTD) significantly differed between ARM -subgroups: UHR patients made significantly less draws to make a decision than ARMS patients with only cognitive BS. Furthermore, UHR patients tended to fulfil behavioural criteria for JTC more often than BS patients. In a secondary analysis, ARMS patients were much hastier in their decision-making than controls. In patients, DTD was moderately associated with positive and negative symptoms as well as disorganization and excitement. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate an enhanced JTC bias in the UHR group compared to ARMS patients with only cognitive BS. This underscores the importance of reasoning deficits within cognitive theories of the developing psychosis. Interactions with the liability to psychotic transitions and therapeutic interventions should be unravelled in longitudinal studies.

Abstract
The increasing use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in terminal heart failure patients provides new challenges to cardiac rehabilitation physicians. Structured cardiac rehabilitation strategies are still poorly implemented for this special patient group. Clear guidance and more evidence for optimal modalities are needed. Thereby, attention has to be paid to specific aspects, such as psychological and social support and education (e.g., device management, INR self-management, drive-line care, and medication).In Germany, the post-implant treatment and rehabilitation of VAD Patients working group was founded in 2012. This working group has developed clear recommendations for the rehabilitation of VAD patients according to the available literature. All facets of VAD patients' rehabilitation are covered. The present paper is unique in Europe and represents a milestone to overcome the heterogeneity of VAD patient rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) constitute a major comorbidity in schizophrenia. Prevalence estimations of OCS for patients with at-risk mental states (ARMS) for psychosis vary largely. It is unclear how ARMS patients with or without comorbid OCS differ regarding general psychosocial functioning, psychotic and affective symptoms and neurocognitive abilities. METHOD At-risk mental states patients (n = 233) from the interventional trial PREVENT (Secondary Prevention of Schizophrenia) were stratified according to the presence or absence of comorbid OCS and compared on several clinical variables. RESULTS Patients, who fulfilled the criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or presented with subclinical OCS (ARMSposOCS sample), did not significantly differ from patients without OCS (ARMSnegOCS) with regard to gender, age, premorbid verbal intelligence and levels of education. Furthermore, similar severity of depressive syndromes, basic cognitive, attenuated psychotic and brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms were found. However, ARMSposOCS patients showed more impairment of psychosocial functioning and higher general psychopathology. In contrast, they scored higher in cognitive tasks measuring working memory and immediate verbal memory. CONCLUSION Findings extend upon previous results due to the multidimensional assessment. Subsequent longitudinal studies might elucidate how comorbid OCS influence differential treatment response, especially to cognitive behavioural interventions and the transition rates to psychosis.

Abstract
AIDS clinical trials (ACTs) are critical to the development of new treatments for HIV infection. However, people of color living with HIV/AIDS are involved in ACTs at disproportionally low rates, with African-Americans experiencing the greatest under-representation. In this article, we describe the core elements and key characteristics of a highly efficacious multi-component peer-driven intervention (PDI) designed to increase rates of screening for and enrollment into ACTs among African-American and Latino/Hispanic individuals, by addressing the main complex, multi-level barriers they experience to ACTs. We discuss the process of developing the intervention, the theoretical models guiding its delivery format and content, and provide an overview of the intervention's components. We then use brief case studies to illustrate a number of key issues that may arise during intervention implementation. Finally, we describe lessons learned and provide recommendations for the PDI's uptake in clinical and clinical trials settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive validity of early response in first-episode schizophrenia within a 1-year follow-up trial and to compare the resulting cutoff to the currently proposed early response definition (20% improvement by week 2). METHOD Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to identify the predictive validity of the psychopathological improvement of treatment from week 1 to week 8, regarding the maintenance of response until week 52 as well as to define the most reasonable cutoff in 132 first-episode patients. The Youden Index (maximum of sensitivity and specificity) was used to compare the newly developed and the commonly used early response definition. RESULTS Starting with week 6, a reasonable validity to predict the maintenance of response was found (area under the curve = 0.721) with the best fitting cutoff being a 51.6% PANSS total score improvement. Using this cutoff 74 patients (56%) were correctly identified to become responder and maintain response during follow-up (sensitivity: 0.747). The Youden Index was higher applying the newly developed early response cutoff featuring higher specificity compared to the commonly used early response definition. CONCLUSION Regarding long-term treatment, it seems more appropriate to base predictions of the patient's maintenance of response not before 6 weeks of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyse insight of illness during the course of inpatient treatment, and to identify influencing factors and predictors of insight. METHODS Insight into illness was examined in 399 patients using the item G12 of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale ("lack of insight and judgement"). Ratings of the PANSS, HAMD, UKU, GAF, SOFAS, SWN-K and Kemp's compliance scale were performed and examined regarding their potential association with insight. The item G12 was kept as an ordinal variable to compare insight between subgroups of patients. RESULTS Almost 70% of patients had deficits in their insight into illness at admission. A significant improvement of impairments of insight during the treatment (p<0.0001) was observed. At admission more severe positive and negative symptoms, worse functioning and worse adherence were significantly associated with poorer insight. Less depressive symptoms (p=0.0004), less suicidality (p=0.0218), suffering from multiple illness-episodes (p<0.0001) and worse adherence (p=0.0012) at admission were identified to be significant predictors of poor insight at discharge. CONCLUSION The revealed predictors might function as treatment targets in order to improve insight and with it outcome of schizophrenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The involvement of an immune process in the pathophysiology of major depression disorder (MDD) was substantiated by studies demonstrating elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors lead to a reduced production of PGE(2) and have been shown to improve depressive symptoms. We investigated the three immune parameters macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib as add-on therapy in patients with MDD treated with reboxetine. METHODS Thirty-two patients with depression and 20 healthy controls participated in the study. The patients were treated with reboxetine and celecoxib or placebo. Immune parameters were measured from serum at baseline, after three and five weeks using ELISA. RESULTS Celecoxib as add-on strategy resulted in a significant reduction of Hamilton Depression Scale scores compared to placebo. Depressed patients showed significantly elevated MIF (p < 0.001) and reduced TGF-β (p = 0.006) concentrations at baseline. There was no difference in sCD14-concentrations. There was no difference between the placebo and the celecoxib group and no change over time. LIMITATIONS Limitations of the study are the relatively small sample size and lack of functional assessment of HPA axis in parallel. CONCLUSIONS MIF is a promising new candidate in the neuro-immune interplay that may link depressive symptoms, altered immune state and HPA-axis dysregulation. Reduced levels of TGF-β replicate previous findings and support the importance of this regulatory cytokine in major depressive disorder.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To assess the value of the coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) during dobutamine stress echocardiography in the diagnosis of significant LAD stenosis (more than 70%). METHOD Retrospective study of 81 patients with a positive stress echocardiography who underwent a coronarography. RESULTS Measurement of coronary flow reserve was able in half echocardiographic exams. Medium Pic diastolic velocity was 0.33 m/s (SD 0.20), medium maximal diastolic velocity during stress was 0.62 m/s (SD 0.20), medium CFR was 2.25 (SD 0.65). In 50 patients LAD was not seen; in five of them LAD was occluded. The predictive positive value (PPV) of a low coronary flow reserve to detect LAD stenosis is 66.7% and the negative predictive value (NPV) is 65.4%. An abnormal anterior contraction during stress echo with a low reserve has a PPV of 75% for the diagnosis of significant IVA stenosis and a normal contraction during stress with normal coronary flow reserve means a NPV of 65%. We did not show a significant correlation between low coronary flow and abnormal contraction during stress echocardiography (kappa 0.51). CONCLUSION Coronary flow reserve of LAD during stress echo is feasible but does not really improve exam performance to detect significant IVA stenosis. This measurement remains to be clear in coronary patients management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine depressive symptoms, their course during treatment, and influence on outcome. METHOD Weekly Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia ratings were performed in 249 inpatients with schizophrenia. Early response was defined as a 20% reduction in the total score of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for Schizophrenia from admission to week 2, response as a 50% reduction in the total score of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for Schizophrenia (PANSS) from admission to discharge and remission according to the consensus criteria. RESULTS Thirty six per cent of the patients were depressed at admission, with 23% of them still being depressed at discharge. Depressed patients scored significantly higher on the PANSS negative and general psychopathology subscore, featured more impairments in subjective well-being (P < 0.0001) and functioning (P < 0.0001). They suffered from more suicidality (P = 0.0021), and had greater insight into their illness (P = 0.0105). No significant differences were found regarding early response, response, and remission. CONCLUSION Patients with depressive symptoms should be monitored closely, given the burden of negative symptoms, their impairments in well-being and functioning and the threat of suicidality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Assessment of depression severity is of key importance, since several clinical guidelines recommend choice of treatment dependent on the depression severity grade. Using different tools to assess baseline severity may result in different outcomes. METHODS This paper describes the results of a multicentre, naturalistic study investigating the relationship between depression symptom severity (using 4 different measures of symptom severity) and clinical outcome among patients hospitalised for depression (N=1 014). Moreover, the impact of differences between methods of measuring depression severity has been investigated. Statistical analyses (univariate measurements, logistic regression models) were conducted to detect coherences and differences between the various methods of severity categorisation. RESULTS Results revealed different associations between outcome and classification methods. Response or remission rates varied if baseline severity was assessed by different instruments. Moreover, the number of responders increased with higher baseline severity grades of depression, whereas the number of remitters decreased. Additional analyses dependent on outcome criteria using continuous instead of categorical data revealed similar results. DISCUSSION Baseline severity may be only one of many other important clinical variables that mediate clinical outcome, but it is surely an important one deserving further research and consideration.
