[EX Q]: Context: To assess, in a retrospective cohort, urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UT-UC) in patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their clinicopathological features, as patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a higher incidence of UT-UC, but the relationship between early stages of CKD and characteristics of UT-UC are less well known.', 'The study included 267 patients with pathologically confirmed UT-UC from January 1994 to December 2006; all had a physical examination (blood pressure), and measurements of laboratory data (serum creatinine, serum haemoglobin) and pathological data. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation. Patients were divided into three groups by individual GFR (mL/min), i.e. >60 (no/mild CKD), 30-60 (CKD stage 3) and <30 (CKD stage 4/5).', 'The CKD stages included 81 (30.3%) patients with none/mild CKD, 121 (45.3%) with CKD stage 3 and 65 (24.3%) with CKD stage 4/5. There was a significant and parallel increase in the frequency of UT-UC as CKD severity increased from none/mild CKD to stage 3 (11% vs 55%), and from CKD stage 3 to 4/5 (55% vs 71%; P < 0.05). Pathologically, the frequency of high-grade and high T stage UT-UC in patients with CKD stage 3 (90% and 35%, respectively) and CKD stage 4/5 (91% and 29%, respectively) were significantly greater than in the group with none/mild CKD (P < 0.001). Advanced age and more distant metastasis were independent risk factors for patient survival.
Answer: The aggressiveness of UT-UC increased with the severity of CKD, and this might have important clinical consequences.
[EX A]: Does the aggressiveness of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma increase with the severity of chronic kidney disease?

[EX Q]: Context: Women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) are at increased risk of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and preeclampsia. Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) directly alter trophoblast function. Treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) reduces the risk of RPL but not preeclampsia. Moreover, LMWH stimulates trophoblast sFlt-1 release, an anti-angiogenic factor associated with preeclampsia. Since vitamin D deficiency is associated with APS and preeclampsia, this study sought to determine the effect of vitamin D on trophoblast function in the setting of aPL and LMWH.', 'A human first trimester trophoblast cell line (HTR8) and primary trophoblast cultures were treated with or without aPL in the presence and absence of vitamin D, LMWH or both. Trophoblast secretion of inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factors were measured by ELISA.', 'Vitamin D alone or in combination with LMWH attenuated the aPL-induced trophoblast inflammatory response in the HTR8 cells and primary cultures. While vitamin D did not have any impact on aPL-mediated modulation of angiogenic factors in the primary trophoblast, it significantly inhibited LMWH-induced sFlt-1 release.
Answer: LMWH in combination with vitamin D may be more beneficial than single-agent therapy by preventing aPL-induced trophoblast inflammation and reversing LMWH-induced sFlt-1 secretion.
[EX A]: Does vitamin D reverse aPL-induced inflammation and LMWH-induced sFlt-1 release by human trophoblast?

[EX Q]: Context: Internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis can lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and is a common cause of stroke. As susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) has been used for penumbra imaging in acute ischemic stroke, we aimed at analyzing hypoperfusion using SWI in patients with ICA stenosis.', 'Clinical characteristics, asymmetric cortical vessel sign (more and/or larger, hypointense asymmetric cortical vessels) on SWI, Doppler sonography results and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume were retrospectively analyzed in patients with ICA stenosis. In a subgroup of patients, volume of prolonged time to peak and volume of prolonged time to peak of the residue curve (Tmax) were measured as reference standard. Outcome was assessed as modified Rankin score at discharge.', '104 patients were included. Median age was 72 and median degree of stenosis 70% according to NASCET. 13% had a asymmetric cortical vessel sign. These patients had a higher degree of stenosis (80% vs. 70%, p=0.004), were more often symptomatic (93% vs. 61%, p=0.020) and had higher DWI volume (7.3ml vs. 0.2ml, p=0.011). Specificity for the prediction of DWI lesions was 86%. Also, patients with asymmetric cortical vessel sign had lower rates of favorable outcome (mRS=0-2; 57% vs. 82%, p=0.033) and volumes of Tmax4s, 6s, 8s, 10s and TTP2s, 4s, 6s were significantly higher. In multivariate analysis, asymmetric cortical vessel sign was an independent negative predictor of favorable outcome (mRS 0-2; OR 0.184; CI [0.039; 0.875] p=0.033).
Answer: In patients with ICA stenosis, asymmetric cortical vessel sign is a sign of clinically relevant hypoperfusion.
