Kinetik von Indozyaningrün (ICG) und adjuvanter Einsatz zur transpupillaren Thermotherapie (TTT) pigmentarmer kleiner Aderhautmelanome
2004
BACKGROUND To determine the efficacy of intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) as an adjuvant to TTT for hypopigmented choroidal melanomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS ICG kinetics in melanoma tissue were evaluated by taking standardized ICG angiograms in 28 eyes with small choroidal melanomas. In a prospective non-randomized analysis 12 eyes with hypopigmented choroidal melanomas (posterior to the equator with thickness </= 4.5 mm) were treated with the TTT standard protocol developed by an intravenous injection of 100 mg ICG in 10 ml aqueous solvent 2 minutes after starting TTT. These eyes were followed-up for at least 22 months (mean 29). RESULTS Pharmacokinetic analyses revealed the onset of fluo…
EP1155 Endoscopic near infrared and indocyanine green to verify the viability of the subcutaneous flap for vulvar cancer
2019
Introduction/Background Vulvar cancer often requires radical vulvectomy with subsequent vulvar flap due to tumor aggressiveness and a high percentage of relapses. Approximately in 20–60% of cases, there are post-operative complications ranging from infection to wound dehiscence, lymphocele and flap necrosis that often require reoperation. Several methods have been described to verify the vitality of the flap, especially in plastic surgery, but these are often expensive and require specific machinery that is not generally present in a gynecological clinic. We present a viability verification of V-Y fasciocutaneous advancement flap for vulvar reconstruction by Endoscopic Near-Infrared and Ind…
EP626 Lymph vascular space invasion, an independent risk factor of sentinel node mapping failure in endometrial cancer, the sentifail study: a multic…
2019
Introduction/Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has become the gold standard for surgical staging of early stage endometrial cancer. Side-specific systematic lymphadenectomy is suggested if SLN mapping failed. The objective of this study is to identify clinical and pathological factors associated with failed mapping. Methodology We prospectively evaluated a consecutive series of early stage endometrial cancer patients submitted to SLN mapping with indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared compatible surgical platforms in two oncological referral centers from January 2018 to January 2019. Indocyanine green was injected intracervical. Bilateral mapping and failed bilateral SLN mapping g…
Transpupillare Thermotherapie (TTT) zur Behandlung von Aderhautmetastasen
2001
Die transpupillare Thermotherapie (TTT) wird erfolgreich zur Behandlung kleiner Aderhautmelanome am hinteren Augenpol eingesetzt [9, 13, 14]. Wir berichten uber die erfolgreiche Behandlung von Aderhautmetastasen mittels TTT unter intravenoser Gabe von Indozyaningrun (ICG). Bei 3 Patienten mit systemisch metastasierenden Karzinomen (Osophagus-, Bronchial- und Mamma-Ca) wurden Aderhautfiliae in 4 Augen mit jeweils einer Sitzung TTT behandelt. Verwendet wurde ein Diodenlaser (810 nm) und Spotgrose 2–3 mm. Die Laserleistung (im Mittel 0,75W) wurde beginnend bei 0,3W in 50 mW Schritten fur jeweils 1 Minute erhoht, bis die Tumoroberflache eine grauweise Odembildung zeigte. Jeweils 1 Minute nach T…

Sentinel-node biopsy in early stage ovarian cancer: a prospective multicentre study (SELLY)
2019
BackgroundSystematic para-aortic and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy is included in the standard comprehensive surgical staging in presumed early epithelial ovarian cancer. No prospective randomized evidence suggests it has potential therapeutic value, and related morbidity is not negligible.Primary Objective(s)To assess sensitivity, safety, and feasibility of the sentinel lymph node technique in identifying the presence of lymph node metastases in patients with early stage epithelial ovarian cancer.Study HypothesisSentinel lymph node detection with indocyanine green can accurately predict nodal status in a cohort of women with early stage epithelial ovarian cancer.Trial DesignThe SELLY tr…
Sentinel Lymph Node Analysis in Colorectal Cancer Patients Using One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification in Combination With Fluorescence and Indocyanine…
2018
Purpose: Analysis of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients was proposed for more accurate staging and tailored lymphadenectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the ability to predict lymph node (LN) involvement through analysis of the SLN with a one-step nucleic acid (OSNA) technique in combination with peritumoral injection of indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared (NIR) lymphangiography in CRC patients. Methods: A total of 34 patients were enrolled. Overall, 51 LNs were analyzed with OSNA. LNs of 17 patients (50%) were examined simultaneously with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and OSNA. Results: SLN analysis of 17 patients examined with H&E and OSN…
Indocyanine Green-Enhanced Colorectal Surgery—between Being Superfluous and Being a Game-Changer
2020
Nowadays, surgical innovations incorporate new technological conquests and must be validated by evidence-based medicine. The use of augmented reality-assisted indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has generated a myriad of intraoperative applications such as demonstration of key anatomical landmarks, sentinel lymph nodes, and real-time assessment of local blood flow. This paper presents a systematic review of the clinical evidence regarding the applications of ICG near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence in colorectal surgery. After we removed duplicate publications and screened for eligibility, a total of 36 articles were evaluated: 23 on perfusion assessment, 10 on lymph node mapping, and 3 on int…
Langzeitverlauf und angiographische Befunde bei serpiginöser Choroiditis
2006
Background: Long-term follow-up and angiographic findings of serpiginous choroiditis, a chronic disease with recurrences of unknown origin, are reported. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of the data of 4 patients with serpiginous choroidopathy, who were treated in the eye clinic of Mainz in the past 10-18 years was made. Progression of disease was documented by photography, as well as fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. Patients with acute lesions were treated with steroids per os for some weeks. Results: All 8 eyes developed 2 - 7 recurrences with progression of the chorioretinal scars. In cases of macular involvement the functional results were worse. No choroidal…
Cholesterol as stabilizer of the oxytocin receptor
2002
AbstractThe function of the oxytocin receptor system is strongly dependent on steroids as demonstrated by several physiological studies. One key element of this dependence on steroids may be the interaction of cholesterol and the oxytocin receptor. In this study, we show that cholesterol stabilizes the solubilized human oxytocin receptor against thermal inactivation and proteolytic degradation. In the absence of additional cholesterol, the soluble receptor inactivates within minutes. Maximal stabilization of the oxytocin receptor requires a continuous supply with cholesterol from a cholesterol-rich environment. A structure–activity analysis of various cholesterol analogues and their effect …
