Context: To assess the role of whole-body computed tomography (CT) for determining morphological suitability before multiorgan retrieval (MOR) in brain dead patients.', 'Fifty-one clinically brain dead patients (21 women, 30 men; mean age 61 year15) were included in this prospective, single center study. All patients had CT angiography of the brain and whole-body CT examination. CT images were evaluated for the presence of morphological abnormalities of lungs, liver and other abdominal organs and presence of vascular anatomical variants. The results of CT examinations were compared to intraoperative findings observed during organ harvesting and/or the results of histopathological analysis of biopsy specimens. The impact of whole-body CT examination on the harvesting process was evaluated.', 'Ninety-five percent of vascular anatomical variants that were found intraoperatively were depicted on CT. CT density measurements predicted surgical finding of steatosis in 80% of patients. Whole-body CT changed the MOR strategy in 21/51 patients (41%) including 3 MOR cancellations and 8 grafts refusals, whereas organ harvesting was continued in 10 patients after histopathological analysis was performed.
Answer: Selection of potential graft donors using whole-body CT is reliable and improves graft selection during MOR.
Is simultaneous CT angiography and whole-body CT an effective imaging approach before multiorgan retrieval?

Context: Immunologic abnormalities have been found in bipolar disorder but pentraxin 3, a marker of innate immunity, has not been studied in this population.', 'Levels of pentraxin 3 were measured in individuals with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and non-psychiatric controls. Linear regression models were used to compare the pentraxin 3 levels in each of the psychiatric groups to that in the control group, adjusting for demographic and clinical variables. Logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios associated with levels of pentraxin 3 which differed from specified levels of the control group.', 'The sample consisted of 831 individuals: 256 with bipolar disorder, 309 with schizophrenia, and 266 without a psychiatric disorder. The levels of pentraxin 3 in the bipolar disorder, but not in the schizophrenia, group were significantly lower than those of controls, adjusting for age, gender, race, maternal education, smoking status, and body mass index (t = -3.78, p < 0.001). The individuals with bipolar disorder also had significantly increased odds of having low levels of pentraxin 3 relative to both the 10th and 25th percentile level of the controls and significantly decreased odds of having a level greater than the 75th and the 90th percentile level of the controls, adjusting for the same covariates.
Answer: Individuals with bipolar disorder have low levels of pentraxin 3 which may reflect impaired innate immunity. An increased understanding of the role of innate immunity in the etiopathogenesis of bipolar disorder might lead to new modalities for the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.
Is pentraxin 3 reduced in bipolar disorder?

Context: Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutation has been reported to be associated with aggressive characteristics in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This study examined the status of TERT promoter mutation in distant metastatic DTC (DM-DTC), and evaluated the correlation between TERT mutation and radioactive iodine-131(RAI) uptake, as well as that between TERT mutation and therapy response.', 'TERT promoter and B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) V600E mutation were retrospectively examined in primary tumors of 66 DM-DTC patients. Stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) changes, RAI uptake status (avid or non-avid), and other imaging evidence were analyzed to evaluate therapy response. After a median follow-up of 46.5 months (interquartile range, 29.0 to 70.5 months), therapy response was classified as disease control and refractory.', "The prevalence of TERT mutations was 22.73% (15/66), of which C228T mutation was more prevalent (13/15) than C250T mutation (2/15). Rising sTg was noticed in 93.33% (14/15) of TERT mutation group. While in cases with both mutations negative, 78.12 % (25/32) presented with decreased sTg. TERT mutation closely correlated with poor RAI therapy response (p<0.001), and all 15 patients were classified as refractory to RAI with a positive predictive value of 100% at the end point of follow-up. TERT mutation was associated with older mean age at diagnosis (p<0.001), larger mean tumor diameter (P = 0.013), and more likelihood of both BRAF mutation coexistence (P = 0.044) and refractory to RAI (p<0.001). In the 36 cases received imaging semi-quantitative analysis, it was found that TERT mutation significantly correlated with non-RAI-avidity, with a much lower mean tumor/background (T/B) ratio (obtained from post RAI therapy whole-body scanning) than TERT wild-type (p<0.001). And DM-DTC patients with TERT mutation were more likely to lose RAI-avidity at initial RAI therapy than those with only BRAF mutation (8/8 vs 5/11, Fisher's exact test, P = 0.018).
Answer: TERT promoter mutation closely associates with non-RAI-avidity in DM-DTC, and when comparing with BRAF mutation, TERT mutation manifested a worse negative influence on RAI uptake. It could also be used as a predictive marker to early identify refractory to RAI.
Does tERT promoter mutation predict radioiodine refractory in distant metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer?
