Background

Although tumor tract seeding from renal mass biopsy (RMB) is exceedingly rare, the possibility of tumor capsule violation from RMB leading to perinephric fat invasion has not been quantified. We evaluated the association between RMB and perinephric fat invasion in patients with clinical T1a renal cell carcinoma who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy.

Materials and Methods

We reviewed the National Cancer Database from 2010–2013 and identified patients who underwent surgery for clinical T1a tumors. Patients were classified as upstaged only if final pathology demonstrated perinephric invasion only (pT3a). Mixed-effect logistic regression analysis was performed on inverse probability weighted matched groups to identify predictors of perinephric fat invasion. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to evaluate overall survival (OS).

Results

A total of 24,548 patients met our inclusion criteria. Pathologic upstaging to pT3a perinephric fat involvement occurred in 1.2% of patients. This rate of upstaging was 1.1% in the no biopsy group compared with 2.1% in patients who underwent RMB (P < 0.01). In multivariable logistic model, RMB was associated with pT3a perinephric fat upstaging (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.17–2.44, P < 0.01). Upstaging to pT3a was also associated with worse OS (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.13–2.60, P?=?0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated similar OS estimates in patients upstaged to pT3a disease, irrespective of undergoing RMB or not (Log-Rank?=?0.87).

Conclusion

RMB was associated with increased rate of upstaging to pT3a perinephric fat involvement in clinical T1a RCC. This effect is small with unclear clinical significance. This is perhaps balanced by the importance of the information acquired from biopsies. Future studies are needed to elucidate clinical significance of this finding.  相似文献

Objective

Antibodies against carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) are often part of immunohistochemical panels used to assist renal cell cancer (RCC) subtyping. This study was undertaken to determine, whether assessing CAIX expression levels could provide additional prognostic information.

Methods and materials

More than 1,800 RCCs were analyzed in a tissue microarray (TMA) format for CAIX expression. All tumors had been reviewed and newly classified according to the WHO 2016 classification.

Results

Membranous CAIX expression revealed a “black and white” pattern that was strikingly dependent on the RCC subtype. In clear cell RCC, 89.2% of cancers showed strong positivity. The few clear cell RCC with lower CAIX expression levels were more likely to exhibit unfavorable tumor phenotype (p < 0.0001) and poor disease course (p = 0.0036). CAIX was completely absent in 99% of chromophobe RCC and in 100% of oncocytomas. In papillary RCC, 80.2% of cancers showed complete absence of CAIX staining. Papillary RCC with detectable CAIX expression had a less favorable tumor phenotype (p≤0.05) and worse disease outcome (p = 0.0176). These data are consistent with the concept, that “aberrant” CAIX staining – meaning absent or weak staining in a cancer expected to have a high level CAIX expression such as clear cell RCC or detectable CAIX expression in tumors that are typically CAIX negative such as papillary and chromophobe RCC – reflects biologic tumor dedifferentiation.

Conclusion

Our data demonstrate that CAIX is a highly useful diagnostic biomarker for RCC providing both diagnostic and prognostic information.  相似文献

Background

Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common nonepidermal cancer in elderly males. Due to its heterogeneity and high variability in regards to clinical outcome and therapeutic response, urologists' handling of this disease remains a challenge. The objective of this study was to assess Transketolase like 1 (TKTL1) expression in benign prostatic tissue, peritumoral tissue and in CaP (in different stages of disease), and its correlation with clinicopathological findings, in order to detect if TKTL1 expression is associated with CaP tumorigenesis.

Methods

In total, 100 tissue samples were included: (i) 22 benign specimens, (ii) 46 specimens with nonmetastatic CaP, and (iii) 32 specimens from patients with metastatic CaP. From the tissue microarray slides, we evaluated immunohistochemically the expression of the TKTL1 protein, using the H-score.

Results

The TKTL1 protein expression pattern ranges from a low level in benign prostatic tissue (100 [57.5–105]), moderately low in peritumoral tissue (135.42 [100–195.16]), moderate expression in nonmetastatic CaP (200 [172.19–254.38]) to high in metastatic CaP (300 [222.50–300]). A significant rise of TKTL1 mean expression was seen throughout disease progression. A significant difference was also found in TKTL1 expression between peritumoral tissue and benign tissue.

Conclusion

The results obtained in this study suggest that pentose phosphate pathway and its key enzyme TKTL1 is altered throughout the CaP tumorigenesis, and this pathway merits further investigation.  相似文献

Introduction

To develop a risk-stratification model for cancer-specific survival (CSS) following cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in the contemporary era.

Materials and Methods

A retrospective review was performed of 313 patients who underwent CN for M1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from 1990 to 2010. To account for the introduction of targeted therapies, timing of surgery was classified as immunotherapy era (1990–2004) or contemporary era (2005–2010). Risk scores were developed to predict CSS using Cox proportional hazards regression models.

Results

A total of 215 (69%) and 98 (31%) patients were treated in the immunotherapy and contemporary eras, respectively. Median follow-up among survivors was 9.6 years, during which time 291 patients died, including 279 from RCC. On multivariable analysis limited to preoperative features, age ≥ 75, (hazard ratio [HR] 1.9), female sex (HR 1.9), constitutional symptoms (HR 1.61), radiographic lymphadenopathy (HR 1.59), and IVC tumor thrombus (HR 1.65) were significantly associated with CSS. On multivariable analysis including pathologic features, the features above as well as coagulative necrosis (HR 1.51) and sarcomatoid differentiation (HR 1.44) were significantly associated with CSS (all P < 0.05). Risk scores were developed for each model and used to predict CSS according to era. Decision curve analysis revealed that the preoperative risk score conferred a net benefit over a treat-all or treat-none approach beyond a 1-year cancer-specific mortality threshold of 25%.

Conclusions

We developed risk scores to predict CSS for patients treated with CN in the contemporary era. Patients with poor predicted survival may consider avoiding CN as initial management.  相似文献

Objectives

Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) mediate negative signal in autoimmune diseases. While little is known about its role in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The study aimed to reveal the circulating cell profile and the relative PD-1/PD-L1 expression of JIA subsets, elucidating their underlying immunomodulatory mechanisms.

Methods

We detected the circulating cells and the relative PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in 101 JIA patients and 50 controls by flow cytometry and analyzed their association with disease activity and clinical manifestations.

Results

Different from other JIA types, active systemic JIA (sJIA) patients had lower percentage and count of CD4+T cells and lower PD-1 expression on them compared with healthy controls (P < 0.05), active polyarthritis (P < 0.05) and enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) patients (P < 0.05). Also, they had higher percentage and count of myeloid dendritic cell (mDC) and lower PD-L1 expression on mDC compared with healthy controls (P < 0.05). Both PD-1 on CD4+T cell and PD-L1 on mDC were negatively correlated with JADAS-27 in sJIA patients (P < 0.05). In addition, PD-1 expression on CD4+T cell was negatively associated with the number of involved joints (P < 0.05) and PD-L1 on mDC was lower in patients with fever (P < 0.01), which could further divide patients into two groups of different manifestations.

Conclusions

Our finding displayed decreased CD4+T cell, increased mDC and reduced PD-1/PD-L1 signal in sJIA PBMC comparing with other JIA subsets, which might be helpful in JIA differential diagnosis and responsible for distinct clinical manifestations via different mechanisms.  相似文献

Background

Gastric bypass surgery for weight reduction often corrects dysglycemia in diabetic patients, but a full understanding of the underlying biochemical pathways continues to be investigated.

Objectives

To explore the effects of weight loss by surgical and dietary interventions on plasma metabolites using both targeted and discovery-oriented metabolomics platforms.

Setting

An academic medical center in the United States.

Methods

Improvement in homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), as an index of insulin resistance, was compared at 6 months in 11 patients that underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass against 11 patients that were matched for weight loss in the Weight Loss Maintenance (WLM) program. Metabolites in plasma were evaluated by nontargeted gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for the potential detection of >1100 biochemical markers.

Results

Among multiple metabolites detected, 2-hydroxybutyric acid (2-HBA) declined most significantly after 6 months in comparing patients that underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with those in WLM (P < .001), corresponding with declines in HOMA-IR (P?=?.025). Baseline levels of 2-HBA for all patients were correlated with preintervention levels of HOMA-IR (R2?=?.565, P < .001). Moreover, the changes in 2-HBA after 6 months were correlated with changes in HOMA-IR (R2?=?.399, P?=?.0016).

Conclusions

Correlation between insulin resistance and 2-HBA suggests the utility of the latter as an excellent biomarker for tracking glycemic improvement, and offers further insight into the pathways that control diabetes. This is the first report of a decline in 2-HBA in response to bariatric surgery.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the mRNA expression of lymphangiogenesis and proliferation markers and to examine its association with histopathological characteristics and clinical outcome in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) after radical cystectomy (RC).

Patients and methods

Gene expression analysis of the vascular endothelial growth -C and -D (VEGF-C/-D), its receptor VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3), MKI67, and RACGAP1 was performed in 108 patients after radical cystectomy and their correlation with clinical-pathological parameters was investigated. Uni- and multivariate regression analyses were used to identify predictors for cancer-specific survival (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) after RC.

Results

The expression of RACGAP1 and VEGFR-3 showed an association with a higher pT stage (P = 0.049; P?=?0.009). MKI67 showed an association with a high-grade urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (P?=?0.021). VEGFR-3 expression was significantly associated with the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (P = 0.016) and lymph node metastases (pN+) (P?=?0.028). With the univariate analysis, overexpression of VEGFR-3 (P?=?0.029) and the clinical-pathological parameters pT stage (P < 0.0001), pN+ (P?=?0.0004), LVI (P < 0.0001) and female gender (P?=?0.021) were significantly associated with a reduced CSS. Multivariate analysis identified a higher pT stage (P?=?0.017) and LVI (P?=?0.008) as independent predictors for reduced CSS. Independent predictors for reduced OS were a higher pT stage (P?=?0.0007) and LVI (P?=?0.0021), while overexpression of VEGF-D was associated with better OS (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions

The mRNA expression of the investigated markers showed associations with common histopathological parameters. Increased expression of VEGF-D is independently associated with better overall survival.  相似文献

Background

One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is considered new from the bariatric standpoint.

Objectives

To assess the effectiveness and safety of the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol compared with the conventional approach in perioperative care of OAGB patients.

Setting

Turkey.

Methods

The prospectively collected data of 92 patients managed with standard care (group 1) were compared with 216 patients managed by the enhanced recovery after surgery pathway (group 2). All patients underwent OAGB by the same surgeon. The groups were compared in terms of mean postoperative length of stay; costs for surgery and recovery; and rates of complications, emergency room visits, and readmissions.

Results

Length of stay was always 5 days in group 1 and had a mean of 1.2 ± 1.3 days in group 2 (P < .001). The mean total cost for surgery and recovery was 858.6 ± 33.1 USD in group 1 and 625.2 ± 289.1 USD in group 2 (P < .001). Specific complications (Clavien-Dindo IIIa) occurred in 1 patient (1.1%) in group 1 and in 3 patients (1.4 %) in group 2 (P?=?1.000). Fifty-seven patients (61.9%) in group 1 and 45 (20.9%) in group 2 visited the emergency room within 1 month of being discharged (P < .001). Two patients (.9%) in group 2 needed hospital readmission; there was no need for rehospitalization in group 1 (P < .001).

Conclusion

The enhanced recovery after surgery pathway significantly reduces length of stay and cost after OAGB, with no significant difference in terms of surgical outcomes. It also reduces postdischarge resource utilization.  相似文献

Background

An increase in glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) mediating early diabetes remission after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is believed to be associated with distal-ileal stimulation.

Objective

To observe the effect of distal-ileal exclusion on glucose tolerance and GLP-1 response after RYGB.

Setting

Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China.

Methods

A type 2 diabetes model was created in 40 Sprague-Dawley rats that were randomly assigned to a RYGB group (n?=?32) and a sham group (n?=?8). Four weeks after surgery, the RYGB group was further divided into the RYGB control group (n?=?8) and the distal-ileal exclusion group (RYGB-IEx, n?=?24). Rats in the RYGB-IEx group underwent laparotomy, and the last 20 cm of ileum was excluded. An oral glucose tolerance test, insulin tolerance test, and mixed-meal tolerance test conducted preoperatively were repeated in all groups at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively.

Results

Compared with preoperative level, GLP-1 was significantly increased after RYGB. GLP-1 area under the curve recorded after oral gavage at week 4 postoperatively was significantly higher than the preoperative level (P < .05). GLP-1, insulin area under the curve, and improved glucose-excursion on oral glucose tolerance test 4 weeks after gastric bypass were not reversed at week 8 after distal-ileal exclusion in the RYGB-IEx group. Food intake increased significantly after distal-ileal exclusion in the RYGB-IEx group.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that distal-ileal stimulation might not be required for incretin response and diabetes remission after gastric bypass in the type 2 diabetes Sprague-Dawley rat model.  相似文献

Background

Numerous studies have established the effectiveness of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for weight loss and co-morbidity amelioration. However, its safety and efficacy in elderly patients remains controversial.

Objectives

To evaluate outcomes in patients aged ≥60 years who underwent RYGB compared with nonsurgical controls with the hypothesis that RYGB provides weight loss benefits without differences in survival.

Setting

University-affiliated tertiary center.

Methods

All patients who underwent RYGB from 1985 to 2015 were identified and divided into elderly (age ≥60) and nonelderly (age <60) groups. A nonsurgical elderly control population was identified using a clinical data repository of outpatient visits to propensity match elderly patients 4:1 on demographic characteristics, co-morbidities, and relevant preoperative substance/medication use. Unpaired appropriate univariate analyses compared each stratified group. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were fitted based on social security death data.

Results

A total of 2306 patients underwent RYGB. The 107 elderly patients had lower median body mass index (47.0 versus 49.9; P?=?.007) and higher rates of co-morbidities. Rates of complications did not differ between elderly and nonelderly patients. Elderly surgical patients were propensity matched 4:1 (10,044 controls) yielding 428 well-matched nonsurgical controls. The elderly group demonstrated significant percent reduction in excess body mass index compared with the control group (81.8% versus 10.3%; P < .001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank test demonstrated no difference in midterm survival (P?=?.63).

Conclusions

A significant weight reduction benefit was identified after RYGB in elderly patients without a difference in midterm survival compared with propensity-matched controls, suggesting RYGB is a safe and efficacious weight loss strategy in the elderly.  相似文献

Background

The main aim of this study was to investigate the putative correlation between the composition of intratumoral inflammatory infiltrate and the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) by prostate cancer cells. In addition, we evaluated the correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and PTX3.

Methods

We enrolled 100 patients from which we collected one surgical sample each. Paraffin serial sections were obtained to perform histological classifications and tissues microarray construction. Serial tissues microarray paraffin sections were also used for PD-L1 analysis and intratumoral inflammatory infiltrate characterization (CD4, CD8, CD57, CD3, PD1, PSGL-1, TIGIT, CD20, CD38, CD68, CD163, and PTX3) by immunohistochemistry .

Results

Our result showed a significant increase of the number of both PD-L1 and PTX3 positive cells in prostate tumors respect to benign lesions. Inflammatory infiltrate of PD-L1 positive prostate cancer lesions was characterized by a decrease of both PD1 positive lymphocytes and tumor-infiltrated macrophages, mainly M2 subpopulation. Also, PTX3 expression showed an inverse correlation with the number of PD-L1 positive prostate cancer cells.

Conclusions

If confirmed, our data could be useful to predict the variations of the inflammatory population related to PD-L1 expression in prostate cancer. This can lay the foundation to establish therapeutic protocols able to inhibit the PD-L1 activity and, at the same time, to reactivate the antitumor inflammatory process.  相似文献

Background

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) play an important role in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma. Characterization of TIL requires efficient isolation procedures, especially in early stage disease when the tumor is of small in size. Conventional methods for isolating TIL are based on enzymatic tissue digestion, most frequently with collagenase. Collagenase isolation is limited by poor cell recovery, altered expression of cell-surface molecules, and impaired TIL-functionality. To overcome these limitations, we developed and optimized conditions for a robust collagenase-free mechanical procedure for improved isolation of TIL from renal cell carcinoma samples.

Methods

TIL from tumor samples and T cells from peripheral blood were collected from 12 patients undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy. Samples were subjected to an enzymatic reference protocol and to a newly established mechanical isolation protocol. After viability staining, TIL-subpopulations were quantified and phenotyped by immunohistochemistry and flow-cytometric analysis, and were compared to characteristics of peripheral blood T cells. As a marker for TIL-functionality, T-cell cytokine induction was quantified after polyclonal stimulation.

Results

We show that this new technique is rapid and allows identification of CD4 and CD8 T-cell subpopulations including CD4, CD8, and regulatory T cells expressing anergy markers such as programmed death-1 (PD-1) or B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator. When compared to the reference protocol involving collagenase digestion, the yield of TIL after mechanical isolation was higher and the expression of cell-surface markers was better preserved. Moreover, although antitumor activity was not assessed, mechanically isolated TIL are at least equally functional as T cells from peripheral blood, as polyclonal stimulation induced cytokines such as interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α in both TIL and T cells from peripheral blood.

Conclusion

The mechanical procedure may be applied as a robust and rapid alternative to collagenase digestion for isolation of high amounts of phenotypically and functionally intact TIL from fresh tumor samples.  相似文献

Objective

To analyze the expression pattern of immune checkpoint–associated molecules in tumor tissues to determine the prognostic significance of these molecules in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Methods

Radical nephrectomy specimens were obtained from 62 patients treated with TKIs as first-line systemic therapy for mRCC. The proportions of programmed death-1 (PD-1)-positive tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as well as those of tumor cells positive for PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and PD-L2 were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining.

Results

Overall, 12 patients (19.3%) were revealed to be positive for PD-1-positive TILs, whereas positive expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 were detected in 12 (19.3%) and 10 (16.1%) patients, respectively. Patients with positivePDL-L1 expression had significantly unfavorable progression-free survival (PFS) compared with those without positive PD-L1 expression, despite the remaining 2 molecules having no significant effect on PFS. Additionally, overall survival in patients positive for PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2 expression was significantly poorer than that in those without expression of each immune checkpoint–associated molecule. Multivariate analyses of several parameters identified the following independent prognosticators after the introduction of TKIs: PD-L1 expression status for PFS and lymph node metastasis, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center classification and expression statuses of PD-1-positive TILs, and PD-L1 for overall survival.

Conclusions

Positive expression of immune checkpoint–associated molecules in tumor tissues could be useful prognosticators in patients with mRCC receiving TKIs as first-line systemic therapy.  相似文献

Background

Spexin is a novel peptide predominantly produced in human white adipose tissue and has recently been implicated as a potential signal in the regulation of body weight, energy homeostasis, and satiety. The effect of bariatric surgery on spexin is unknown.

Objectives

To study the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery on endogenous spexin concentration and various risk factors of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in youth with severe obesity.

Setting

University hospital, United States

Methods

Spexin, body mass index (BMI), insulin, glucose, total and high molecular weight adiponectin, leptin, and high sensitivity C- reactive protein were measured longitudinally (baseline, 6 mo, and 12 mo) after RYGB surgery in girls with severe obesity (n?=?12; age?=?16.7 ± 1.5 years; BMI?=?51.6 ± 2.9 kg/m2).

Results

Serum spexin concentration increased (P?=?.01) at 6 months after surgery and stabilized afterward. Spexin level correlated negatively with homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance, HOMA-IR (Spearman correlation r?=??.796, P < .001) and positively with high molecular weight adiponectin (Spearman correlation r?=?.691, P?=?.011). The change in spexin concentration, from baseline to 6 months after surgery, was inversely correlated with the corresponding change in BMI (Spearman correlation r?=??.573, P?=?.051). Furthermore, the 6-month changes in spexin and HOMA-IR were inversely correlated (slope [standard error, SE]?=??.0084 (.0019), P?=?.001)], even after adjusting for the change in BMI.

Conclusions

The enhancement of circulating spexin concentration in response to RYGB and correlations with beneficial postoperative changes in various adipokines in youth are novel findings that require further validation.  相似文献

Background

For patients in whom laparoscopic adjustable gastric band has failed, conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are both options for further surgical treatment. There are limited data comparing these 2 procedures. The National Bariatric Surgery Registry is a comprehensive United Kingdom–wide database of bariatric procedures, in which preoperative demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes are prospectively recorded.

Objectives

To compare perioperative complication rate and short-term outcomes of patients undergoing single-stage conversion of gastric band to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Setting

United Kingdom national bariatric surgery database.

Methods

From the National Bariatric Surgical Registry data set, we identified 141 patients undergoing single-stage conversion from gastric band to either gastric bypass (113) or sleeve gastrectomy (28) between 2009 and 2014, and analyzed their clinical outcomes.

Results

With respect to perioperative outcomes gastric bypass was associated with a higher incidence of readmission or reintervention postoperatively (16 versus 0; P?=?.04). There was no difference in percentage excess weight loss between sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass at final follow-up at 1 year (52.1% versus 57.1% respectively; P?=?.4).

Conclusions

Conversion from band to sleeve or bypass give comparable good early excess weight loss; however, conversion to sleeve is associated with a better perioperative safety profile.  相似文献

Background

Exclusion of the proximal gut from nutrient absorption entails significant metabolic benefits. The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is the first endoscopic device that excludes the first part of the gut by covering it.

Objectives

To assess weight and glycemic control at the end of treatment and after 1 year of follow-up.

Setting

Bariatric endoscopy service in a tertiary medical center.

Methods

Diabetic patients were treated with DJBL and followed prospectively between 2013 and 2016. Data were collected during scheduled visits.

Results

Out of 51 patients treated, 39 completed at least 9 months with the device. Complications were recorded for the entire cohort. Percent of total weight loss was 15.05% ± 6.0% after 12 months of treatment (P < .001 versus baseline). Twelve months postretrieval, percent of total weight loss decreased to 8.75% ± 5.07% (P < .001 versus baseline). Patients with baseline body mass index ≥35 kg/m2 experienced greater percent total weight loss changes over time (P < .001). There was a significant effect on hemoglobin A1C levels over time (P?=?.003), and the nadir was reached at 9 months of treatment (median 6.05% versus 7.20% at baseline, P < .001). Insulin users had consistently higher median hemoglobin A1C values compared with insulin nonusers (P < .001). Adverse events were experienced by 12 of 51 patients (23.5%), of which 4 cases (7.8%) were severe.

Conclusions

Proximal bowel bypass by DJBL is an effective tool for weight reduction and glycemic control. Metabolic achievements are partially preserved at 1 year after device removal. Because DJBL entails a considerable rate of side effects, strategies to mitigate them are warranted.  相似文献

Background

Obesity is characterized by a chronic, low-grade inflammation, and bariatric surgery is proposed as an effective treatment for reducing the obesity-related co-morbidities. Epigenetic modifications could be involved in the metabolic improvement after surgery.

Objective

The main aim of this study was to evaluate whether DNA methylation pattern from genes related to inflammation and insulin response is associated with the metabolic improvement after bariatric surgery in morbidly obese patients and if these changes depend on the surgical procedure.

Setting

University hospital, Spain.

Methods

We studied 60 severely obese patients; 31 underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and 29 underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. All patients were examined before and at 6 months after bariatric surgery. DNA methylation profile of genes related to the inflammatory response and insulin sensitivity was measured by pyrosequencing.

Results

The promoter methylation levels of the NFKB1 gene were increased significantly after surgery (2.16 ± .9 versus 2.8 ± 1.03). The decrease in blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic, after surgery was significantly associated with the changes in the promoter methylation levels of the NFKB1 gene (β?=??.513, P?=?.003 and β?=??.543, P?=?.004, respectively). A decrease in inflammation status, measured by high sensitivity C-reactive protein values, was associated with changes in SLC19A1 methylation levels.

Conclusion

Our study shows for the first time an association between NFKB1 methylation levels and blood pressure after bariatric surgery, highlighting the possible function of this gene in the regulation of arterial pressure. Regarding SLC19A1, this gene could position as a potential target linking inflammation and insulin resistance.  相似文献

Background

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with low morbidity and mortality and a short length of stay. Studies on the safety of same-day discharge after LSG are limited.

Objective

To compare outcomes between same-day versus first-postoperative-day (POD1) discharge after LSG.

Setting

Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program national database.

Methods

The 2015 to 2016 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database was analyzed for elective LSG cases with same-day or POD1 discharge. Open, revisional, and converted cases were excluded. Multivariate analysis was performed to compare adjusted 30-day mortality, morbidity, readmission, and reoperation for same-day versus POD1 discharge.

Results

We examined 85,321 LSG cases, including 4728 same-day discharges and 80,593 POD1 discharges. Compared with POD1 discharges, same-day discharges were associated with higher overall morbidity (1.31% versus .84%, respectively; adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.72; P?=?.0002), a higher readmission rate (2.14% versus 1.64%, respectively; AOR 1.40; P?=?0.0034), and a higher reoperation rate (.61% versus .27%, respectively; AOR 2.35; P < .0001). There was no difference in mortality (.08% versus .04%, respectively; AOR 2.62; P?=?.0923).

Conclusion

Same-day discharge after LSG is associated with increased complications, readmissions, and reoperations compared with POD1 discharge. Further studies are needed to examine objective criteria for safe same-day discharge after LSG.  相似文献

Background

Mammographic breast density (BD) is an independent risk factor for breast cancer. The effects of bariatric surgery on BD are unknown.

Objectives

To investigate BD changes after sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Setting

University hospital, United States.

Methods

Fifty women with mammograms before and after SG performed from 2009 to 2015 were identified after excluding patients with a history of breast cancer, hormone replacement, and/or breast surgery. Patient age, menopausal status, co-morbidities, hemoglobin A1C, and body mass index were collected. Craniocaudal mammographic views before and after SG were interpreted by a blinded radiologist and analyzed by software to obtain breast imaging reporting and data system density categories, breast area, BD, and absolute dense breast area (ADA). Analyses were performed using χ2, McNemar's test, t test, and linear regressions.

Results

Radiologist interpretation revealed a significant increase in breast imaging reporting and data system B+C category (68% versus 54%; P?=?.0095) and BD (9.8 ± 7.4% versus 8.3 ± 6.4%; P?=?.0006) after SG. Software analyses showed a postoperative decrease in breast area (75,398.9 ± 22,941.2 versus 90,655.9 ± 25,621.0 pixels; P < .0001) and ADA (7287.1 ± 3951.3 versus 8204.6 ± 4769.9 pixels; P?=?.0314) with no significant change in BD. Reduction in ADA was accentuated in postmenopausal patients. Declining breast area was directly correlated with body mass index reduction (R2?=?.4495; P < 0.0001). Changes in breast rather than whole body adiposity better explained ADA reduction. Neither diabetes status nor changes in hemoglobin A1C correlated with changes in ADA.

Conclusions

ADA decreases after SG, particularly in postmenopausal patients. Software-generated ADA may be more accurate than radiologist-estimated BD or breast imaging reporting and data system for capturing changes in dense breast tissue after SG.  相似文献

Purpose

Recent observations have focused attention on the means that human tumors employ to evade host defense systems critical to immune surveillance. The concepts of immunotherapy are familiar to urologists because of the use of bacillus Calmette-Guérin in bladder cancer. Research demonstrating the importance of checkpoint inhibitors in suppressing immune responses against tumors has heightened interest in immunotherapy at a time when there is a need for alternatives to bacillus Calmette-Guérin. We review the literature on the application of immunotherapeutic agents targeting a key checkpoint pathway, programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), in the field of bladder cancer.

Materials and methods

A comprehensive literature review was performed using Medline/Pubmed and Embase.

Results

The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway may be manipulated by cancer cells to subvert the immune system. PD-1/PD-L1 blockade has been tested in clinical trials for various malignancies including metastatic urothelial carcinoma, with significant response rates and limited side effects. PD-L1 expression has also been proposed as a prognostic marker for bladder cancer with mixed results.

Conclusions

PD-1 is one of several key receptors mediating immune escape, and agents targeting its ligand PD-L1 have already been successfully applied to patients with metastatic urothelial cancer. More research is needed to standardize criteria for PD-L1 positivity, explore its use as a biomarker, and optimize its use in the treatment for bladder cancer.  相似文献
