Introduction: Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of orthostatic intolerance characterized by excessive tachycardia of unknown etiology. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the correlation between C-fiber involvement as shown by skin biopsy and adrenergic cardiac metaiodobenzylguanadine (MIBG) uptake in POTS patients. Methods: Skin biopsies of 84 patients with POTS were examined by Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP9.5) immunohistochemistry and were compared with MIBG myocardial scintigraphy imaging data. Results: Mean intraepidermal nerve fiber (IENF) density was in the lower normal age-adjusted range, 7.2 +/- 2.9/mm (normal 7/mm), and was slightly below the normal range in 45% of POTS patients. MIBG uptake was reduced in 21% of patients. Low IENF density correlated with reduced cardiac MIBG uptake (r=0.39, P=0.001). Conclusions: A subset of neuropathic POTS patients may harbor mild small fiber neuropathy with abnormalities of unmyelinated nerve fibers in the skin associated with reduced myocardial postganglionic sympathetic innervation.

Characterization of a Novel Aspect of Tissue Scarring Following Experimental Spinal Cord Injury and the Implantation of Bioengineered Type-I Collagen Scaffolds in the Adult Rat: Involvement of Perineurial-like Cells?

Haktan Altinova, Pascal Achenbach, Moniek Palm, Istvan Katona, Emmanuel Hermans, Hans Clusmann, Joachim Weis, Gary Anthony Brook

Summary: Research on using bioengineered scaffolds for spinal cord injury repair showed the formation of scar cells with characteristics of perineurial cells in the spinal cord tissue after scaffold implantation. This change in cellular composition highlights the complexity of scar formation in response to injury.

CLC Anion/Proton Exchangers Regulate Secretory Vesicle Filling and Granule Exocytosis in Chromaffin Cells

Maddalena Comini, Juan Sierra-Marquez, Gustavo Guzman, Arne Franzen, Antje Willuweit, Istvan Katona, Patricia Hidalgo, Christoph Fahlke, Raul E. Guzman

Summary: This study investigates the role of two Clcn3 splice variants, ClC-3b and ClC-3c, in granular exocytosis and catecholamine accumulation in adrenal chromaffin cells. The findings show that ClC-3c regulates catecholamine accumulation and contributes to the formation of readily releasable vesicles, while ClC-3b has low efficiency in vesicle priming.

Summary: This article discusses the importance of autopsies in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and presents findings from autopsies conducted in German autopsy centers. The study reveals the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 in various organs and tissues, and provides insights into the pathological features and mechanisms of COVID-19. However, the pathological changes in non-respiratory organs remain unclear.

Acidosis induces RIPK1-dependent death of glioblastoma stem cells via acid-sensing ion channel 1a

Summary: This study demonstrates that ASIC1a induces cell death in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) under acidic conditions, suggesting that pharmacological activation of ASIC1a could be a potential strategy for tumor therapy.

SGPL1 stimulates VPS39 recruitment to the mitochondria in MICU1 deficient cells

Summary: Mitochondrial retrograde signaling can stimulate organelle biogenesis as a compensatory adaptation to abnormal activity of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. In this study, the researchers investigated the molecular mechanisms promoting mitochondrial maintenance in energy-deprived cells and identified the sphingosine phosphate lyase SPL-1/SGPL1 and the ATFS-1-target HOPS complex subunit VPS-39/VPS39 as critical lifespan modulators. They also found that VPS39 recruitment to the mitochondria may be a common signature associated with altered OXPHOS system in mouse-derived muscles.

Nonregional small fibre neuropathy in cases of autoimmune autonomic neuropathy

Summary: In this retrospective analysis of autoimmune autonomic neuropathy (AAN) patients, it was found that neuropathic pain was not as common as sensory loss. Sensory loss was widely distributed, mainly affecting cold and warm detection thresholds and the thermal sensory limen. Serostatus was not a significant predictor of small fiber deficit in AAN.

Differential Glial Chitotriosidase 1 and Chitinase 3-like Protein 1 Expression in the Human Primary Visual Cortex and Cerebellum after Global Hypoxia-Ischemia

Summary: The expression of glial markers CHIT1 and CHI3L1 in the human striate cortex and cerebellum after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury was studied. Different expression patterns were found between the two brain regions. CHIT1 and CHI3L1 could be valuable biomarkers for monitoring the outcome of brain injury.

Summary: Proteins of the secretory pathway undergo glycosylation in the ER and Golgi apparatus. Mutations in GMPPA can cause AAMR syndrome with various symptoms. Loss of GMPPA leads to Golgi fragmentation, altered protein abundance, reduced furin activity, and increased retention of alpha-DG.

First report from the German COVID-19 autopsy registry

Summary: The German COVID-19 Autopsy Registry (DeRegCOVID) serves as a central hub for multicenter autopsy-based studies and provides support for researchers and data analysis. The registry shows that COVID-19 is the underlying cause of death in most autopsy cases, with diffuse alveolar damage and multi-organ failure being the most common immediate causes of death. The registry is of great importance for medical research, policy-making, and public discussion.

Summary: This study analyzed data from the German COVID-19 autopsy registry and found that bleeding events were more frequent in ECMO cases, with a higher proportion of intracranial bleeding. The study suggests the potential value of autopsies and a joint interdisciplinary multicenter approach in addressing fatal complications in COVID-19.
