RESUMO
Background: Rectal cancer is a public health priority. Primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the quality of care for non-metastatic rectal cancer using process and outcome indicators. Delay of management, length of stay and readmission rate, sphincter preservation, morbidity, number of examined lymph nodes, mortality, overall and disease-free survivals were evaluated. Secondary objectives were to estimate the relationship between possible predictive parameters for (1) anastomotic leakage (logistic regression), (2) overall or disease-free survivals (cox regression).Methods: We performed a retrospective study on 312 consecutive patients diagnosed with primary rectal cancer between 2016 and 2019. We focused on the 163 patients treated by surgery for non-metastatic cancer.Results: The treatment began within 33 days (range 0-264) after incidence, resection rate was 67%. Digestive continuity rate in lower, middle and upper rectum was 30%, 87% and 96%. Median of 14 lymph nodes (range 1-46) was analyzed. Length of stay and readmission rate were 11 days (range 3-56) and 4%, respectively. Within 90 postoperative days, clinical anastomotic leakage occurred in 9.2% of cases, major morbidity rate was 17%, mortality 1.2%. Multivariate analysis revealed that stoma decreased the risk of anastomotic leakage [hazard ratio: 0.16; 95% confidence intervals: 0.04-0.63; p = 0.008]. The 5-year overall survival after surgery was 85 ± 4%, disease-free survival 83 ± 4%. Patients with major complications, male gender and R1/R2 resection margin had a poorer prognosis.Conclusion: This work showed encouraging results in rectal cancer treatment in our institution, our results were in line with recommendations at the time.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The breast sarcoma induced by radiation therapy is rare but increasing, given the increased long-term survival of patients receiving radiation therapy. Fibrosarcoma, histiocytofibroma and angiosarcoma are the most common breast sarcoma. Angiosarcoma is the most common after breast cancer treated by radiation therapy, often diagnosed too late, with a severe prognosis and a high rate of recurrence. However, because of the low incidence of angiosarcoma associated with radiation therapy (AAR), the benefit of radiation therapy in breast cancer treatment outweighs the risk to develop angiosarcoma. The aim of this study is to evaluate these rare cases of AAR diagnosed in eastern Belgium in comparison to the data from the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Nine cases of AAR after radiation for breast ductal carcinoma were included in this retrospective study. AAR was diagnosed according to Cahan criteria between January 2007 and December 2016. Latency, incidence, management and prognosis are comparable to the literature. RESULTS, CONCLUSION: The median latency was 10 (4-24) years, the incidence of AAR in the East Belgian area was 0.09% of the patients irradiated on the same period. Patients were treated by surgery with wide local excision with or without reconstructive surgery, without radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed median overall survival of 61.8 months, patient survival of 55.6% at one year and 29.6% at five years. With the constant progress of medicine and its technologies, it would be possible to limit the occurrence of AAR or to diagnose it at an earlier stage.

Incubation of Salmonella typhimurium strains in an atmosphere of 0.2% gaseous acrylonitrile increased the numbers of his+ revertants/plate only in the presence of a fortified S9 liver fraction. The mutagenic effect was particularly pronounced with strains TA1530, TA1535 and TA1950 and much weaker with strains TA100, TA98 and TA1978. The results of bacterial fluctuation tests confirmed the necessity of the presence of S9 mix and showed the particular sensitivity of TA1530. The reversion rate varied with the S9 mix composition, the animal species utilized and the type of pretreatments applied to the animals. The mutagenicity of acrylonitrile in S. typhimurium is therefore microsome-mediated and is particularly discernable with strains sensitive to base-substitution mutagens.

Urines collected from rats and mice treated with acrylonitrile (ACN) were mutagenic towards Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 1530 in the absence of a metabolic activation system. When assayed in the presence of a liver S9 mix, this activity was suppressed when the urines were obtained from acrylonitrile treated rats, and decreased when these urines were collected from acrylonitrile treated mice. Pretreatment of the animals with phenobarbital abolished the direct mutagenicity of urines from acrylonitrile treated rats, and reduced that observed with mice urines. Addition of beta-glucuronidase to the incubation mixtures enhanced the mutagenicity of the urines from both phenobarbital untreated and treated rats and mice injected with acrylonitrile.

The mutagenic activity of acrylonitrile vapours towards Salmonella typhimurium strains strictly depends upon the presence of a liver postmitochondrial fraction. The reversion rate varies according to the animal species from which the S9 fraction is obtained as well as to the pretreatment of the animals. The comparatively weak activating effect of the microsomal fraction and the inability of both SKF525A and carbon monoxide to inhibit the S9 mediated mutagenicity of acrylonitrile (ACN) suggest that the cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases do not play a major role in the metabolic activation of ACN into a mutagenic intermediate (s).

The mutagenicity of 2,3- epoxybutane (2,3-EB) towards Salmonella FFphimurium TA1530 is increased by rat liver S9 mix. This enhancement can be induced by Aroclor 1254 (ARO) or phenobarbitone (PB) pretreatment. Comparative assays with purified subcellular liver fractions demonstrated that cytosol is the most active in increasing the mutagenic effect of 2,3-EB. Addition of reduced glutathione (GSH) to metabolic activating mixtures containing S9 or cytosol, strengthened this effect. From these results it is suggested that 2,3-EB is stabilized through enzymic conjugation with GSH.

Gaseous butadiene (BUT) was mutagenic towards S. typhimurium strain TA 1530 when the incubation mixture was supplemented with a NADPH-fortified rat liver microsomal preparation; mutagenicity increased with the dose. A significant mutagenic effect was similarly observed when the petri dishes, containing the bacteria but no metabolic activation system, were incubated in the presence of butadiene, in a desiccator in which plates containing the S-9 rat liver fraction had been placed. This indirect mutagenic effect was attributed to the formation, by the S-9 mix, of volatile intermediate(s) that migrated and induced mutations in neighbouring bacteria.

Three piperidinoxyl radicals were found to be directly mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100, one pyrrolidinoxyl compound had weaker activity, and two other pyrrolidinoxyl derivatives did not produce an increase of the spontaneous revertants. The tester strain TA 100 was selected in preliminary tests for its higher sensitivity compared to TA 98 and TA 102. The mutagenic activity of the three active compounds was abolished by partial reduction with ascorbic acid, suggesting that the mutagenicity was linked to the free radical nature of these compounds, and reduced in the presence of a cofactor supplemented rat liver subcellular fraction. The mutagenicity of the tested compounds was correlated to the resistance of the nitroxyl spin labels to reduction: the more reactive radicals were found to possess higher mutagenic activity.

A comparison was made, for 40 compounds belonging to different chemical classes, of the mutagenicity as measured by the Salmonella assay and of the SOS-inducing potency as measured by the SOS chromotest kit procedure. It was found that most (78%) of the chemicals described as mutagens/carcinogens (14 compounds) were detected with a simplified Ames test procedure, using 3 strains (TA 97, TA 98, TA 100) and 3 concentrations of the tested material. The SOS chromotest, carried out following the recommendations of the commercially available kits, revealed that only 4 Ames test-positive compounds were mutagenic towards E. coli strain PQ 37.

The mutagenic activity of acrylonitrile (ACN) towards the Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1530 was evaluated after a short preincubation time in liquid medium in the presence of microsomes, cytosolic fractions and post-mitochondrial fractions of liver from untreated and phenobarbitone (PB)-pretreated rats and mice. The effect of the presence of glutathione (GSH) was also examined. GSH enhanced the microsomal-mediated mutagenicity of ACN; that effect was abolished in the presence of CO. The effect of GSH was usually greater after pretreatment by phenobarbitone. Other sulfhydryl compounds induce a weaker mutagenic activity than GSH. These observations support the hypothesis of a mediated formation of a mutagen involving GSH, but the adduct between ACN an GSH was not mutagenic.

The mutagenicity of acrylonitrile (ACN) was tested with Salmonella typhimurium TA1530 after a preincubation period of the chemical with a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction in liquid medium. Several pretreatments were applied to the animals before the preparation of the liver fractions and different compounds added to the incubation mixture, which were shown to modify the liver mediated mutagenic activity of ACN. Four metabolites: cyanoacetic acid, cyanoethanol, acetic acid and glycolaldehyde were identified after incubation of ACN with the rat liver homogenate. From both sets of results, an in vitro metabolic scheme is proposed to ACN, which postulates the intermediate formation of a radical species and an epoxide.

Urines collected from rats injected with acrylonitrile (ACN) were mutagenic towards Salmonella typhimurium TA1530; this activity was reduced when the animals were pretreated by pyrazole (inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase) and suppressed after pretreatment either by CoCl2 and SKF 525-A (inhibitors of the mixed-function oxidases system) or by trichloroacetonitrile (radical trapping agent). On the other hand, two urinary metabolites (cyanoethanol and cyanoacetic acid) have been detected by gas chromatography. One possible scheme for the in vivo metabolism of ACN is presented which postulates the intermediate formation of a radical species and of an epoxide.

The mutagenic and co-mutagenic properties of harman, norharman and of some of their pharmacologically important derivatives are reviewed. These compounds do not behave as true mutagens, but rather interact, directly or indirectly with DNA, leading to various consequences. This unusual behaviour is most probably related to the particular structure of the chemical nucleus common to all beta-carbolines which confers to the different derivatives the property to interact with various macromolecules and enzymatic systems. These interactions are compiled and discussed in this review. The alterations, by beta-carbolines, of some important enzymatic systems, e.g. cytochrome P-450, have been clearly demonstrated, yet many discrepancies and contradictions exist so that an interpretation of the results and the definition of some common mechanism appears premature. Since beta-carbolines are widely distributed in tissues and since they may modify and increase genotoxic and toxic consequences of other compounds, these interactions need to be clarified.

The potent food mutagens and carcinogens 2-amino-3-methylimidazol[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MEIQ) and 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) are probably the most active bacterial mutagens so far discovered. Important discrepancies were found, however, in the specific mutagenicities published for these compounds. This paper analyzes a number of experimental factors that could explain these differences: purity of the compounds, stability under the experimental conditions employed, solvents used, bacterial toxicity, testing procedure, amount and age of the S9 fraction, dose-effect relationships, day-to-day variability, origin of the compounds investigated or of the bacterial strain and age of the strain culture used. None of these factors was found to play a critical role, when the other experimental conditions were strictly standardized. The in-house testing procedure used probably explains the interlaboratory variations observed.

Rats were pretreated with a single oral dose of different mutagenic fractions obtained from glutamic acid pyrolysate: Glu-P-2 (2-amino-dipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole), Glu-P-3 (3-amino-4,6-dimethyldipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole), the tar residue and a basic extract (B2). The liver S9 fractions of these animals were used to investigate the mutagenic activation of 3 promutagens (2-aminoanthracene, Glu-P-2 and Glu-P-3) in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1538. Different factors were analyzed; influence of the structure of the compounds administered, doses, time interval between pretreatment and sacrifice and sex of the rats. Interpretation of the hepatic induction effects was complicated, however, by the fact that simple oral pretreatment with the solvents (DMSO or ethanol) enhances the activation of the substrates tested for mutagenicity. A dose-effect relationship was found between 2-AA mutagenic activation and Glu-P-2 pretreatment. Glu-P-3 induced the activation of 2-AA more than did Glu-P-2, in the male as in the female. The mutagenicity of 2-AA activated with S9 from male rats was found to be optimal after 24 h pretreatment with 20 mg Glu-P-2/kg b.w. The mutagenicity of Glu-P-2 was poorly influenced by the different pretreatments applied to either the males or the females, whereas some dose effect was found in the autoinduction of Glu-P-2 mutagenicity. Compared to Glu-P-2, the mutagenicity of Glu-P-3 was increased at higher levels when tested with S9 from males pretreated with the same compound, but no differences were observed between males and females.

The bacterial strains of Salmonella typhimurium used for detection of base-pair substitutions (TA1530, TA1535, TA100 and TA102) and various types of frameshift mutations (YG1024, DJ400 and DJ460) were exposed to nitrites in the Salmonella/microsome test system. In agreement with published data, nitrites exhibited mutagenic activity in standard strains TA1530, TA1535 and TA100. The TA102 strain was insensitive as were the frameshift tester strains despite their genetically manipulated genome increasing their sensitivity.

The mutagenic effect of 2-amino-dipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole (Glu-P-2) was compared with that of the 3-amino, 3-nitro, or 3-N-hydroxylated derivatives of the same base ring with methyl groups at positions 4 and 6 of the molecule. The compounds were tested in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 without metabolic activation and in the presence of different concentrations of subcellular fractions from livers or small intestines of rats pretreated with different P448/P450 inducers. The 4,6-dimethyl compounds are always more mutagenic than Glu-P-2. Pretreatment with Aroclor 1254 (ARO) is the most effective inducer in the activation of the 2- and 3-amino compounds by liver S9, whereas the same fraction decreases the mutagenicity of the 3-nitro derivative. S9 from small intestine increased the mutagenic effect of the 3-nitro and 3-N-hydroxylated compounds, but it was unable to activate the amino compounds.

The mutagenic activity of styrene was investigated by incubating the strains of Salmonella typhimurium in gaseous atmospheres. The sensitive strains were TA1530, TA1535 and TA100. In that method, styrene regularly showed a mutagenic activity in the presence of a fortified liver post-mitochondrial fraction. The mutagenic activity remained weak. Moreover, it seemed that a volatile mutagenic intermediate was formed metabolically during the assays; its identity remains unknown.

The mutagenicity of diphenylhydantoin (DPH) and its major metabolite, 5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin (HPPH), has been re-evaluated by the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium and, for DPH only, by an in vitro cytogenetic test with human lymphocytes and a turbidimetric assay of tubulin polymerization. As negative results were obtained in all test systems used here, one has to conclude that DPH is devoid of mutagenic properties.

Different derivatives of dipyrido[1,2-a:2',3'-d]imidazoles have been investigated, as mutagens for Salmonella typhimurium. The nature of different substitution groups and their positions on the base ring influenced markedly the mutagenicity of these compounds. From this structure/effect relationship study, it was demonstrated that the 2 and 3 positions were of special interest. The 3-N-hydroxylated compound was the most active mutagen tested. We also observed that the frequently found frameshift mutagens were responsible for base-pair substitution. Metabolic activation by liver S9 mix increased the reversion rates of the strains tested. The SCE assays correlated poorly with the Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test.
