Authors: Jianhong Zhao, Junwei Chen, Shengnan Ma, Qianqian Liu, Lixian Huang, Xiani Chen, Kaiyan Lou, Wei Wang
Journal: Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B (2018)

Multimodality optical imaging probes have emerged as powerful tools that improve detection sensitivity and accuracy, important in disease diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we focus on recent developments of optical fluorescence imaging (OFI) probe integration with other imaging modalities such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). The imaging technologies are briefly described in order to introduce the strengths and limitations of each techniques and the need for further multimodality optical imaging probe development. The emphasis of this account is placed on how design strategies are currently implemented to afford physicochemically and biologically compatible multimodality optical fluorescence imaging probes. We also present studies that overcame intrinsic disadvantages of each imaging technique by multimodality approach with improved detection sensitivity and accuracy.

BILIARY METAL STENTS IN PATIENTS WITH MALIGNANT JAUNDICE AND CBD STRICTURE: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY COMPARING UNCOVERED, PARTIALLY COVERED AND FULLY COVERED STENTS
Authors: L Archibugi, A Mariani, M Traini, M Chiara Petrone, E Dabizzi, G Rossi, S Testoni, PA Testoni, PG Arcidiacono
Journal: Endoscopy (2018)

Endoscopic transpapillary biliary drainage is the treatment of choice for obstructive jaundice caused by malignant strictures. Different types of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are available: fully covered (FC), partially covered (PC) and uncovered (UC). The advantage of metal compared to plastic prostheses is the reduced risk of rehospitalization and complications expecially in patients expected to survive for more than 3 months. However what is the most effective type of metal prosthesis is still debated. The aim was to evaluate the reintervention rate after positioning of metal stents, comparing FC versus PC versus UC SEMS.

Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2018)

Purpose Limited data exist on the molecular biology, treatment, and outcomes of breast cancer in men, and much of our understanding in this area remains largely an extrapolation from data in women with breast cancer. Materials and Methods We studied men and women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and the 21-gene Breast Recurrence Score (RS) results. Differences in clinical characteristics and gene expression were determined, and distribution of RS results was correlated with 5-year breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival. Results There were 3,806 men and 571,115 women. Men were older than women (mean age, 64.2 v 59.1 years; P < .001). RS < 18 predominated in both genders, but RS ≥ 31 was more frequent in men (12.4% v 7.4%; P < .001), as were very low scores (RS < 11; 33.8% v 22.1%; P < .001). Mean gene expression was higher in men for the estrogen receptor (ER), proliferation, and invasion groups. ER was lowest and progesterone receptor was highest in women younger than 50 years of age, with a progressive increase in ER with age. Men younger than 50 years of age had slightly lower ER and progesterone receptor compared with older men. Survival data were available from SEER for 322 men and 55,842 women. Five-year BCSS was 99.0% (95% CI, 99.3% to 99.9%) and 95.9% (95% CI, 87.6% to 98.7%) for men with RS < 18 and RS 18-30, respectively, and for women, it was 99.5% (95% CI, 99.4% to 99.6%) and 98.6% (95% CI, 98.4% to 98.8%), respectively. RS ≥ 31 was associated with an 81.0% 5-year BCSS in men (95% CI, 53.3% to 93.2%) and 94.9% 5-year BCSS (95% CI, 93.9% to 95.7%) in women. Five-year BCSS and overall survival were lower in men than in women. Conclusion This study reveals some distinctive biologic features of breast cancer in men and an important prognostic role for RS testing in both men and women.

Abstract 210: Temporal Changes in Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) of Ventricular Fibrillation From Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in an Asian Community
Authors: Matt, Weiting Chen, Patrick, Chow-In Ko, Wen-Chu Chiang, Chun-Yi Chang, Liang-Yu Lin, Chen Lin, Wan-Hsin Hsieh, Yi-Chung Chang, Men-Tzung Lo, Matthew, Huei-Ming Ma
Journal: Circulation (2013)

Introduction: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most common arrhythmia causing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) and electrical defibrillation remains the mainstay of its treatment. Successful defibrillation is linked to VF morphology characteristics, and is affected by VF duration, quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency medical service (EMS) responsiveness. This study aimed at comparing VF morphology characteristics between two study periods in an Asian community. Method: Electrocardiographic recordings of VF signals from automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were obtained from OOHCA subjects in Taipei city, a metropolitan with 2.65 million residents in 272km 2 . Root-mean-squared (RMS) amplitude, mean amplitude, amplitude spectrum analysis (AMSA), frequency analysis, and fractal measurements including scaling exponent (SE) and DFA were calculated and compared between early (2000-2001) vs. late (2006-2007) periods. Results: A total of 137 OOHCA subjects with VF, 61 in early and 76 in late period, were included for analysis. For patients converted to normal sinus rhythm (NSR) at 10 seconds after the first shock, DFAα2 was significantly lower in the late period (0.29±0.17 vs. 0.44±0.27, p=0.047). Similarly, for those converted to nonVF at 30 seconds after the first shock, the DFAα2 was lower in the late period (0.37±0.21 vs. 0.50±0.27, p=0.012). Differences in late vs. early period were not observed among any other parameters studied. Conclusions: DFAα2, but not AMSA or other VF waveform characteristics, decreased over time. This might reflect changes in EMS responses and community quality of CPR in different study time periods.

Authors: G Blanco-Velasco, OM Solorzano-Pineda, O Hernandez-Mondragon, JM Blancas-Valencia
Journal: Endoscopy (2018)

Since the emergence of the capsule endoscopy (VCE) in 2000, the technology involved in the VCE had changed in an important way. Pillcam SB3 has optimized optics that delivers exceptional images of the mucosa and an adaptive frame rate technology that allows the system to increase the image capture rate from 2 to 6 frames per second. The intention of this study is to demonstrate that technology improvements of the Pillcam SB3 capsule achieve a higher diagnostic yield in patients with small bowel bleeding.

SINGLE INCISION NEEDLE KNIFE (SINK) BIOPSY: A SIMPLE TECHNIQUES FOR THE TISSUE SAMPLING OF SUBEPITHELIAL TUMORS
Authors: JJ Park, KN Shim, JS Koh, MK Joo, BJ Lee, HJ Chun, SW Lee, YT Bak
Journal: Endoscopy (2018)

Subepithelial tumors (SETs) in gastrointestinal (GI) tract are usually found incidentally during routine endoscopy. SETs in the GI tract can be challenging to diagnose accurately using standard imaging and tissue sampling techniques. Single incision needle knife (SINK) biopsy is an alternative approach of tissue sampling which employs the use of needle knife incision of the mucosa overlying the SET, followed by deep tissue biopsy with standard endoscopic biopsy forceps. We aimed in this study to evaluate SINK biopsy as a diagnostic techniques.
La dilatation pneumatique sous simple contrôle endoscopique pour achalasie ou hypertonie du sphincter inférieur de l'oesophage est une alternative sûre à la dilatation pneumatique sous contrôle radioscopique
Authors: M Antonietti, S Lecleire, P Ducrotté
Journal: Endoscopy (2009)

Introduction: Les dilatations oesophagiennes au ballonnet pour achalasie ou hypertonie du sphincter inférieur de l'œsophage (HSIO) sont le plus souvent réalisées sous contrôle radioscopique. Ce contrôle limite les possibilités de dilatations aux centres équipés d'un amplificateur de brillance. Le but de l'étude était d'évaluer la faisabilité, la sûreté et l'efficacité d'une procédure évitant le contrôle radioscopique, grâce à un contrôle endoscopique permanent et exclusif par un gastroscope placé en parallèle à la sonde de dilatation, juste au-dessus de l' extrémité proximale du ballonnet.

Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2012)

2592 Background: A polysorbate 80-free formulation of docetaxel may preclude the need for dexamethasone pre-medication and may also reduce toxic effects associated with polysorbate 80. DICN is a novel polysorbate 80-free formulation of docetaxel stabilized with lipid and polymer using Nanotecton TM technology. We studied safety, tolerability, and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of DICN in patients with advanced solid malignancies. Methods: Entry criteria included: age 18-65 years, histologically/cytologically confirmed advanced malignancy, performance status ≤ ECOG 2, estimated survival ≥ 12 weeks, and adequate organ function. A standard phase I 3+3 dose escalation schema was employed with an increase of 12.5 to 50% over previous DICN dose level as per safety profile. The infusion was 60 min for 1 cycle and major objectives were to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and PK and safety profiles. Premedication to prevent hypersensitivity was not administered to patients receiving DICN. Three patients were treated with docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 to gather PK data. Plasma was analyzed for docetaxel level using a validated assay. Results: Twenty-seven patients treated with DICN had a mean age of 48.8 yrs (range 29-65); 21 were females; and entered with metastatic breast cancer (MBC; n=14), non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC; n=6), ovarian (n=2), and other (n=5). Doses (mg/m 2 ) studied were 60 (n=7), 75 (n=5), 100 (n=3), 125 (n=3), 150 (n=6), and 170 (n=3). Despite lack of dexamethasone premedication, no patient receiving DICN reported a hypersensitivity reaction. Two DLTs (febrile neutropenia) were reported at DICN 170 mg/m 2 . DICN PK (AUC 0-24, AUC 0-∞, and C max ) increased in a dose proportionate manner from 60 to 170 mg/m 2 . Compared with docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 , C max and AUC 0-24 of DICN 75 mg/m 2 was 1.4 and 1.2 times higher, respectively, and 1.9 and 1.8 times higher, respectively for DICN 150 mg/m 2 . The median T max of DICN 75 mg/m 2 and docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 were 1.00 and 0.517 hours, respectively. Conclusions: In this study,DICN demonstrated acceptable tolerability and a favorable PK profile. A 150 mg/m 2 is the recommended phase II dose for DICN.

Authors: N Le, J Fillinger, S Szanyi, B Wichmann, ZB Nagy, G Ivády, M Burai, Á Tarpay, J Pozsár, Á Pap, B Molnár, O Csuka, M Bak, Z Tulassay, R Szmola
Journal: Endoscopy (2018)

Malignant pancreatobiliary strictures are in many cases clinically indistinguishable and present a major problem to endoscopy specialists. Intraductal sampling procedures such as brush cytology are commonly used for diagnosis with a sensitivity that is low for a diagnostic test used in daily clinical practice. MicroRNA (miR) alterations detected in many cancers are disease-specific, which can be utilized in clinical applications. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether determination of miR expression levels in intraductal brush cytology specimens is a feasible approach to improve the diagnosis of pancreatobiliary cancer.

Oral microbiota maturation during the first 7 years of life in relation to allergy development
Authors: M. Dzidic, T. R. Abrahamsson, A. Artacho, M. C. Collado, A. Mira, M. C. Jenmalm
Journal: Allergy (2018)

Abstract Background Allergic diseases have become a major public health problem in affluent societies. Microbial colonization early in life seems to be critical for instructing regulation on immune system maturation and allergy development in children. Even though the oral cavity is the first site of encounter between a majority of foreign antigens and the immune system, the influence of oral bacteria on allergy development has not yet been reported. Objective We sought to determine the bacterial composition in longitudinally collected saliva samples during childhood in relation to allergy development. Methods Illumina sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene was used to characterize the oral bacterial composition in saliva samples collected at 3, 6, 12, 24 months, and 7 years of age from children developing allergic symptoms and sensitization (n = 47) and children staying healthy (n = 33) up to 7 years of age. Results Children developing allergic disease, particularly asthma, had lower diversity of salivary bacteria together with highly divergent bacterial composition at 7 years of age, showing a clearly altered oral microbiota in these individuals, likely as a consequence of an impaired immune system during infancy. Moreover, the relative amounts of several bacterial species, including increased abundance of Gemella haemolysans in children developing allergies and Lactobacillus gasseri and L. crispatus in healthy children, were distinctive during early infancy, likely influencing early immune maturation. Conclusion Early changes in oral microbial composition seem to influence immune maturation and allergy development. Future experiments should test the probiotic potential of L. gasseri and L. crispatus isolates.

Journal: BMJ (2008)

When I was the new partner in the practice I sat playing Doom and listening to the new Oasis album, Definitely Maybe. Although I looked the part—jacket, tie, chinos—and had a clutch of certificates the patients gave me a body swerve, preferring to see the old timers, even happy to wait weeks for an appointment with their favourite general practitioner. When the older partners were running behind I offered to help out, but the patients usually said, “I want to see my doctor.”

Authors: F Junquera, E Martínez-Bauer, V Puig-Diví, A Casalots, E Brunet, P Garcia-Iglesias, S Machlab, E Brullet, R Campo
Journal: Endoscopy (2018)

Full thickness resection of colonic wall (FTR) is a new therapeutic endoscopic procedure that permits the treatment of lesions which cannot be resected by conventional endoscopic methods with a high rate of success. However its use is not widespread and there are no data on literature about its learning curve.
