- 0:01We are moving on to a presentation from
- 0:03the field of medicine. It is titled "
- 0:06You Can't Mow a Racing Heart." That is
- 0:10also the title of the book by the man
- 0:11who is about to give this talk. He
- 0:13comes from Marburg, my dear ladies and
- 0:16panda bears. Let's give a huge round of
- 0:18applause for Johannes von Borstel.
- 0:25Thank you, my dear ladies and gentlemen
- 0:31, tonight we are talking about the
- 0:32crescendo of retrosternal rhythms. To
- 0:35be more precise, it is about my
- 0:36favorite organ. It is about our heart.
- 0:40My name is Johannes and I am a doctoral
- 0:42candidate at the Biomedical Research
- 0:45Center in Marburg, and my main task
- 0:47here is to research vascular
- 0:49calcification, or as we call it,
- 0:51atherosclerosis. I would like to start
- 0:54with a few hard facts. Atherosclerosis
- 0:57is a buildup of fat or plaque in the
- 1:00vascular wall of a blood vessel. This
- 1:03causes the blood vessel to narrow, and
- 1:05the body parts supplied by that vessel
- 1:08receive less or no blood at all. This
- 1:11means a direct consequence would be, as
- 1:13in this example, a heart attack, or
- 1:15like in this example, a stroke. There
- 1:19are also other conditions, such as
- 1:21vascular dementia, which is essentially
- 1:23age and vascular-related mental
- 1:25incapacity. Um, now you might ask, why
- 1:32is it so exciting for me to study this?
- 1:34The main consequences of vascular
- 1:37calcification—namely heart attacks
- 1:40and strokes—are the number one and
- 1:42two causes of death, even ahead of, for
- 1:45example, HIV or diarrheal diseases, and
- 1:48that is why it is so close to my heart
- 1:51to work on this. Who comes into a
- 1:54hospital with early atherosclerotic
- 1:57degeneration? These are people who love
- 1:59to eat. These are people who are lazy,
- 2:02who love to smoke, and the typical
- 2:05alcoholic. So, what do I do in the lab
- 2:08to better understand this disease and
- 2:11get to the bottom of it? For that, I
- 2:15need several cuddly C57 Black 6 LDL
- 2:17receptor knockout mice, because these
- 2:20mice carry something in their bone
- 2:22marrow that is very important to me,
- 2:24namely monocytes. And from these
- 2:28monocytes, I grow dendritic cells in a
- 2:31cell culture. These are immune cells
- 2:33that are significantly involved in the
- 2:35growth of atherosclerotic plaques, in
- 2:38other words, vascular calcifications.
- 2:41So, in order to find these cells again
- 2:43in the cell culture, I load them with
- 2:46iron oxide. And you can look at the
- 2:48whole thing under a microscope. There,
- 2:50for example, you can see on the left
- 2:52the iron oxide is black, in the middle
- 2:54the iron oxide fluoresces green, and on
- 2:56the right, you can see the iron oxide
- 2:58is blue. So, for those who already find
- 3:01that cool, I will take it one step
- 3:02further. I performed a DAPI stain. This
- 3:06means you can see, co-localized with
- 3:08the red and green fluorescent iron
- 3:10oxide particles, the blue fluorescent
- 3:13DNA material in the cell nucleus, and
- 3:15because they are so close together, I
- 3:17assume that the loading worked. So,
- 3:20what happens to these loaded cells?
- 3:22They go into a syringe, and at this
- 3:24point I have to say, I'm really sorry.
- 3:27I'm really sorry, this syringe goes
- 3:29into a mouse, and I'm really sorry. I
- 3:31had pets as a child myself, including
- 3:33mice and rats, and they are poor little
- 3:35creatures. So, that's why I suggested
- 3:37in our lab that we could use humans for
- 3:40this. Uh, brain-dead ones, for example.
- 3:43It didn't go over very well. So we
- 3:46stuck with the mice. All right, so what
- 3:49do we do now with this mouse that has
- 3:51the loaded dendritic cells in its
- 3:53circulatory system? I put it, under
- 3:57anesthesia, mind you, into a
- 3:59seven-tesla small animal MRI scanner,
- 4:03and I hope to get images like this one
- 4:06in the end. I take such recordings at
- 4:10different times after the injection of
- 4:12the cells and can then draw conclusions
- 4:14about the migration behavior of the
- 4:16dendritic cells in vascular
- 4:17calcifications. And what is the great
- 4:20thing about the procedure that my
- 4:22research group in Marburg is trying to
- 4:24establish with this work? Because it's
- 4:26still relatively unpopular. Uh, there
- 4:28are invasive techniques, which means,
- 4:30well, slightly older techniques for
- 4:32looking at the migration behavior of
- 4:34cells. For that, you take a mouse,
- 4:36inject the cells, put it down, cut it
- 4:38into slices, and look at it under a
- 4:40microscope. Unfortunately, the mouse is
- 4:41dead then. In our procedure, we use MRI
- 4:44to take digital cross-sections, which
- 4:46means the process doesn't require the
- 4:48animals to die from the measurement,
- 4:49even if you have several appointments
- 4:51in a row and scan the animals. And I
- 4:54personally think that's uh, actually
- 4:56pretty cool. That's why I think this
- 4:58procedure is so wild. So, thank you.
- 5:04What does all this have to do with the
- 5:05heart? Vascular calcification causes
- 5:08heart tissue to die, and you usually
- 5:10don't see that well at all in yourself
- 5:12at the beginning. I mean, you don't see
- 5:15it at all. However, there is the
- 5:17possibility for a doctor, for example,
- 5:19to derive this line down here, the
- 5:21so-called ECG, the electrical heart
- 5:23activity. And based on this line, you
- 5:26can see if there is something wrong
- 5:27with the heart. Now, unfortunately, to
- 5:29interpret an ECG, you usually have to
- 5:31have completed a medical degree and be
- 5:33a cardiologist. That's why I came up
- 5:35with another method to bring my
- 5:37favorite ECG images—first a
- 5:39completely healthy one, then many
- 5:41pathological ones—closer to you. But
- 5:44the only thing you have to remember for
- 5:46this is that my hands are the heart
- 5:47atria, the upper part of the heart, and
- 5:49my legs are the ventricles, and you
- 5:51don't need a degree for that. Have fun.
- 6:09Electrocardiography type one. Venus.
- 6:15Ready. Go! Electro ablock. Ready, go.
- 7:06Electrocardiography 3. Go! Next
- 7:20Plankeit. 2 Oh, thank you. Oh, damn.
- 8:13Sorry, that's exhausting. Of course,
- 8:16after this asystole, the cardiac arrest
- 8:18, we continue with resuscitation, which
- 8:20you should definitely not confuse with
- 8:22this. It's also a resuscitation. I know
- 8:27, he's flat, right? No, it's about
- 8:32chest compressions, which, according to
- 8:34American Heart Association guidelines,
- 8:36should be performed by laypeople in
- 8:38Western industrialized nations without
- 8:40rescue breaths. And there’s a reason
- 8:42for that, because well, that’s not
- 8:44what most people look like when they're
- 8:45lying pulseless on the street in front
- 8:47of you. There are people who look like
- 8:49this. It gets worse. I’ll go one
- 8:51better. Imagine they are lying in front
- 8:53of you. So, no rescue breaths. What is
- 9:00important for you in lay resuscitation
- 9:02when finding the pressure point? If you
- 9:04look in textbooks, you find the
- 9:05well-known "between the nipples" method
- 9:07. You simply look between the nipples.
- 9:10We can try that. I see, I'm locating
- 9:13the nipple here. That means the
- 9:15pressure point would be roughly in the
- 9:17area of the belly button. Unfortunately
- 9:19, that’s not right. The "between the
- 9:21nipples" method only works on people of
- 9:22normal weight. Otherwise, if the
- 9:25nipples are further down or in a place
- 9:27you wouldn't expect, I advise you to
- 9:29feel for the tip of the sternum. Two
- 9:32fingers above that is the pressure
- 9:34point where you should push. And do so
- 9:36at a frequency of 100 to 120 beats per
- 9:39minute. Even emergency doctors find it
- 9:42difficult to maintain this rhythm or
- 9:44frequency over a long period. And that
- 9:47is why these three guys came up with a
- 9:50brilliant mnemonic. Great mnemonic. I'm
- 10:06a child of the 90s. I shamefully admit
- 10:09I looked at my first record. Found this
- 10:12resuscitation song. And I would like to
- 10:24play my own resuscitation song on the
- 10:27guitar. It plays in the background when
- 10:30I myself, when I am resuscitating
- 10:35someone. Best not to sing along. It
- 10:38doesn't go over well. Thank you. Think
- 11:07of the 100 to 120 beats per minute.
- 11:12Thank you very much.
