Authors: D’Onofrio Mirko , Crosara Stefano , De Robertis Riccardo , Butturini Giovanni , Salvia Roberto , Paiella Salvatore , Bassi Claudio , Mucelli Roberto Pozzi 
Published: May 2016

Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of locally advanced pancreatic cancer located in the pancreatic body. Materials and Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma were considered for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. Postprocedural computed tomography studies and Ca19.9 tumor marker evaluation were performed at 24 hours and 1 month. At computed tomography, treatment effect was evaluated by excluding the presence of complications. The technical success of the procedure is defined at computed tomography as the achievement of tumoral ablated area. Results: Twenty-three patients have been included in the study. Five of the 23 patients were excluded. At computed tomography, the mean size of the intralesional postablation necrotic area was 32 mm (range: 15-65 mm). Technical success of the procedure has been obtained in 16 (93%) of the 18 cases. None of the patients developed postprocedural complications. Mean Ca19.9 serum levels 1 day before, 1 day after, and 1 month after the procedure were 285.8 U/mL (range: 16.6-942.0 U/mL), 635.2 U/mL (range: 17.9-3368.0 U/mL), and 336.0 U/mL (range: 7.0-1400.0 U/mL), respectively. Follow-up duration was less than 6 months for 11 patients and more than 6 months for 7 patients. At the time of the draft of this article, the mean survival of the patients included in the study was 185 days (range: 62-398 days). Conclusion: Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of locally advanced adenocarcinoma has a high technical success rate and is effective in cytoreduction both at imaging and laboratory controls.
Recent incidences and differential trends of thyroid cancer in the USA
Authors: Mao Yushan , Xing Mingzhao 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The incidence rate of thyroid cancer has been rising rapidly in recent decades; however, its trend remains unclear. To investigate this, we analyzed the database of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) 13, 1992–2012 in the USA, particularly focusing on conventional papillary thyroid cancer (CPTC) and follicular variant of PTC (FVPTC). Of the 75,992 thyroid cancers, 61.3% were CPTC and 25.7% were FVPTC, and their incidence rates (IRs) were significantly increased from 1992 to 2012 (P all < 0.001), with CPTC being 2.4 times of FVPTC (P < 0.001) and the overall average annual percent change (AAPC) of incidence being 6.3% in the former and 5.3% in the latter. IRs were increased in all thyroid cancers, albeit most dramatically in PTC, in virtually all ethnic/demographic groups in recent two decades; however, the incidence trends varied among different thyroid cancers, particularly differentiable between CPTC and FVPTC. For example, Joinpoint analyses revealed that the APC of CPTC before 1996 was 1.5% (P > 0.05), which jumped to 6.8% (P < 0.05) after 1996, whereas the APC of FVPTC before 2000 was 6.6% (P < 0.05), which dropped to 4.8% (P < 0.05) after 2000. IRs and incidence trends of PTC were uneven among different ethnic/demographic groups, as exemplified by the lower IRs of both PTC variants in the Black females than in non-Hispanic White females but higher AAPCs of incidence in the former than in the latter. Interestingly, the data also suggest that the rise in the IRs of PTC is becoming plateaued in the most recent 2 years. These novel observations are helpful in understanding the incidence and incidence trends of thyroid cancer.

Quelle vérité et quelle mémoire la psyché souffrante s’efforcerait-elle d’exprimer dans le délire ? L’infans peut parfois se retrouver confronté à deux appareils psychiques, forme de gémellité psychique en chimère, l’un entravant par ses empiètements le développement de l’autre et créant des conflictualités singulières et complexes pour le travail de mémoire et d’appropriation subjective. Quelle spécificité du travail analytique est susceptible d’approcher ces turbulences émotionnelles et ces cris insensés et permettre des transformations ?

Comment retrouver, ou reconstruire, un passé traumatique oublié ou méconnu ? Quelles sont les modalités de l’enquête, l’exploration des traces, les voyages à effectuer dans l’espace et dans le temps ? À partir de leur histoire respective – chacune liée à la Shoah – et du livre qu’elles lui ont l’une et l’autre consacré, deux psychanalystes reviennent dans cet entretien sur la redécouverte de la mémoire, ou sur sa construction quand les souvenirs font défaut, ainsi que sur les processus psychiques qui ont accompagné l’expérience vécue et sa remémoration ou sa construction après coup.

Physicochemical characteristics of glycerol‐plasticized dextran/soy protein isolate composite membranes
Authors: Singh Surabhi , Gupta Bhuvanesh 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACTThis work deals with the preparation and characterization of in situ crosslinked dextran/soy protein isolate composite membranes as a function of increasing glycerol content. The surface morphology of the membranes, as evidenced from field emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, exhibited smoother surfaces with increasing glycerol content up to 30%. The wettability, color, and UV‐blocking characteristics of the membranes were studied. The glycerol content also significantly influenced the water vapor transmission rate of the membranes, demonstrating diminishing membrane permeability with increasing glycerol content. In addition, the membranes presented an increase in water vapor loss up to 5 h with glycerol content ranging from 10% to 30%, whereas a decrease in vapor loss has been elucidated with 40% glycerol. The influence of plasticization on the rheological properties of the composite fluid was investigated. Although the tensile strength and modulus decreased with increasing glycerol content up to 30%, a significant increase was observed beyond this due to the antiplasticizing effect of glycerol that is dominant at concentrations higher than 30%. A structural analysis of the membranes using attenuated total reflectance indicates an increase in the intensity of the OH stretching region with increasing glycerol content. Further, X‐ray diffraction patterns showed a decrease in crystalline behavior up to 30% glycerol content, above which the antiplasticizing effect of glycerol was dominant. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
