Direct repression of Nanog and Oct4 by OTX2 modulates the contribution of epiblast-derived cells to germline and somatic lineage.

In mammals, the pre-gastrula proximal epiblast gives rise to primordial germ cells (PGCs) or somatic precursors in response to BMP4 and WNT signaling. Entry into the germline requires activation of a naïve-like pluripotency gene regulatory network (GRN). Recent work has shown that suppression of OTX2 expression in the epiblast by BMP4 allows cells to develop a PGC fate in a precise temporal window. However, the mechanisms by which OTX2 suppresses PGC fate are unknown. Here, we show that, in mice, OTX2 prevents epiblast cells from activating the pluripotency GRN by direct repression of Oct4 and Nanog. Loss of this control during PGC differentiation in vitro causes widespread activation of the pluripotency GRN and a deregulated response to LIF, BMP4 and WNT signaling. These abnormalities, in specific cell culture conditions, result in massive germline entry at the expense of somatic mesoderm differentiation. Increased generation of PGCs also occurs in mutant embryos. We propose that the OTX2-mediated repressive control of Oct4 and Nanog is the basis of the mechanism that determines epiblast contribution to germline and somatic lineage.

Sperm-carried IGF2: towards the discovery of a spark contributing to embryo growth and development.

Spermatozoa have been shown to carry key RNAs which, according to animal evidence, seem to play a role in early embryo development. In this context, a potential key growth regulator is insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), a highly conserved paternally expressed imprinted gene involved in cell growth and proliferation which, recent observations indicate, is expressed in human spermatozoa. We herein hypothesized that sperm IGF2 gene expression and transmission at fertilization is required to support early embryo development. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed sperm IGF2 mRNA levels in the same semen aliquot used for homologous assisted reproductive technique (ART) in infertile couples and correlated these levels with embryo morphokinetics. To find a mechanistic explanation for the observed results, the transcriptomes of blastocysts obtained after injection of Igf2 mRNA in mouse parthenotes were analyzed. Sperm IGF2 mRNA negatively correlated with time of 2-cell stage (t2), t3, t4, t5, and time of expanded blastocyst (tEB), independently of maternal age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone levels, and oocyte quality. An IGF2 mRNA index >4.9 predicted the ability of the embryos to reach the blastocyst stage on Day 5, with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 71.6% (AUC 0.845; P < 0.001). In the animal study, transcriptome analysis demonstrated that 65 and 36 genes were, respectively, up- and down-regulated in the experimental group compared to the control group. These genes belong to pathways that regulate early embryo development, thus supporting the findings found in humans. This study has the potential to challenge the longstanding tenet that spermatozoa are simply vehicles carrying paternal DNA. Instead, it suggests that IGF2 mRNA in healthy spermatozoa provides critical support for early embryo development. Pre-ART sperm-carried IGF2 mRNA levels may be used as a marker to predict the chances of obtaining blastocysts to be transferred for infertile couples undergoing ART.

Cardio-oncology rehabilitation: are we ready?

Cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) is not only an essential component of cancer rehabilitation but also a pillar of preventive cardio-oncology. Cardio-oncology rehabilitation is a comprehensive model based on a multitargeted approach and its efficacy has been widely documented; when compared with an 'exercise only' programme, comprehensive CORE demonstrates a better outcome. It involves nutritional counselling, psychological support, and cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment, and it is directed to a very demanding population with a heavy burden of CV diseases driven by physical inactivity, cancer therapy-induced metabolic derangements, and cancer therapy-related CV toxicities. Despite its usefulness, CORE is still underused in cancer patients and we are still at the dawning of remote models of rehabilitation (tele-rehabilitation). Not all CORE is created equally: a careful screening procedure to identify patients who will benefit the most from CORE and a multidisciplinary customized approach are mandatory to achieve a better outcome for cancer survivors throughout their cancer journey. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review of CORE not only for cardiologists dealing with this peculiar population of patients but also for oncologists, primary care providers, patients, and caregivers. This multidisciplinary team should help cancer patients to maintain a healthy and active life before, during, and after cancer treatment, in order to improve quality of life and to fight health inequities.

SEISMONOISY: A Quasi-Real-Time Seismic Noise Network Monitoring System.

This paper introduces SEISMONOISY, an application designed for monitoring the spatiotemporal characteristic and variability of the seismic noise of an entire seismic network with a quasi-real-time monitoring approach. Actually, we have applied the developed system to monitor 12 seismic networks distributed throughout the Italian territory. These networks include the Rete Sismica Nazionale (RSN) as well as other regional networks with smaller coverage areas. Our noise monitoring system uses the methods of Spectral Power Density (PSD) and Probability Density Function (PDF) applied to 12 h long seismic traces in a 24 h cycle for each station, enabling the extrapolation of noise characteristics at seismic stations after a Seismic Noise Level Index (SNLI), which takes into account the global seismic noise model, is derived. The SNLI value can be used for different applications, including network performance evaluation, the identification of operational problems, site selection for new installations, and for scientific research applications (e.g., volcano monitoring, identification of active seismic sequences, etc.). Additionally, it aids in studying the main noise sources across different frequency bands and changes in the characteristics of background seismic noise over time.

High proportion of inflammatory CD62Llow eosinophils in blood and nasal polyps of severe asthma patients.

BACKGROUND: In mice models, eosinophils have been divided into different subpopulations with distinct phenotypes and functions, based on CD62L and CD101 patterns of membrane expression. Limited data are available in humans. OBJECTIVE: To investigate eosinophils subpopulations in peripheral blood (PB) and nasal polyp tissue (NP) from severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) patients plus concomitant chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). METHODS: We recruited 23 SEA patients (14 with CRSwNP); as controls, we enrolled 15 non-severe asthma patients, 15 allergic rhinitis patients without asthma and 15 healthy donors. Eosinophils were isolated from PB and NP and analysed by FACS. Eotaxin-3 and eotaxin-1 mRNA expression in NP tissue was also evaluated. RESULTS: A significantly higher percentage of circulating CD62Llow cells was observed in SEA, as compared with controls, expressing higher levels of CCR3, CD69 and lower levels of CD125 (IL-5R), CRTH2, CD86 and CD28 in comparison with CD62Lbright cells. In NP, eosinophils showed a high proportion of CD62Llow phenotype, significantly greater than that observed in PB. Surface expression of IL-3R, IL-5R, CD69 and CD86 was significantly higher in CD62Llow eosinophils from NP than in those from blood. Moreover, eotaxin-3 mRNA expression positively correlated with the percentage of CD62Llow cells in NP. CONCLUSION: Two different eosinophil subphenotypes can be identified in blood and NP of SEA patients, with a preferential accumulation of CD62Llow inflammatory cells in NP.

Oncological and functional impact of adjuvant treatments after open partial laryngeal surgery: a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The oncological and functional role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) after open partial laryngeal surgery (OPLS) remains debatable. METHODS: A systematic review and a meta-analysis of the literature were conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Outcomes of patients receiving OPLS with and without PORT for laryngeal cancer were summarized. RESULTS: In the 10 studies that were included in the meta-analysis, no significant difference emerged in terms of pooled overall survival between OPLS patients who did and who did not receive PORT (- 0.3%, 95% CI - 5.4 to 4.9%, p = 0.922). Only one study showed a significantly higher incidence of complications in the PORT cohort. CONCLUSIONS: PORT may apparently be performed after OPLS in face of adverse postoperative features without an increased risk of toxicities affecting the neolarynx. Because of the limitations in the available literature, the oncological and functional effects of PORT in this setting needs to be prospectively assessed to strengthen the evidence of this treatment strategy for laryngeal cancer.

Otoendoscopy in the era of narrow-band imaging: a pictorial review.

PURPOSE: Otoendoscopy represents the initial non-invasive diagnostic cornerstone for external and middle ear disorders. Recently, new techniques of enhanced imaging such as narrow-band imaging (NBI) have been introduced but their role as a potential aid in otological practice remains unproven. In this pictorial review, we want to present the potential application of this endoscopic method, highlight its limitations, and give some hints regarding its future implementation. METHODS: Representative cases of external and/or middle ear pathologies were selected to illustrate the role of NBI in this regard. RESULTS: NBI may represent a useful aid in the otological work-up, in the differential diagnosis of ear tumor-like masses, and, possibly, in the prognosis of tympanic perforations. For other ear disorders, instead, this technique does not seem to add anything to the standard clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS: NBI might prove useful in the assessment of selected external and middle ear disorders but its role must be prospectively validated.

Mandibular reconstruction in head and neck cancer: which is the gold standard?

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review to compare the outcomes of the different surgical options for mandibular reconstruction in head and neck cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 93 articles were selected. Four groups were identified: titanium plate without flaps, titanium plate covered by soft tissue flap, bone tissue flaps and double flaps. We compared patients' characteristics, site of mandibulectomy, type of reconstruction and complications. RESULTS: 4697 patients were reported. The groups were not homogeneous regarding the type of defect and the treatment history. A significant difference in terms of post-operative complications was found between group 1 and group 2 (p < 0.00001), and between group 2 and group 3 (p < 0.00001). Total complications rate for group 4 was significantly higher when compared to group 3 (p < 0.00001), but no significant difference was found with group 2. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that mandibular reconstruction using a microvascular bone flap is the best surgical option in patients without significant comorbidities.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps management in the biologic therapy era: an international YO-IFOS survey.

PURPOSE: To investigate the consistency between the international guidelines recommendations and worldwide standard practices regarding diagnostic work-up and follow-up strategies for managing patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) in the era of monoclonal antibodies. METHODS: A questionnaire developed by the Rhinology section of the Young Otolaryngologists of the International Federation of Oto-rhino-laryngological Societies (Yo-IFOS) included items regarding the management of CRSwNP patients, monoclonal prescription, surgical and follow-up procedures, awareness of biologicals availability, and other relevant clinical practices. The online survey was directed to otolaryngologists and distributed in Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East through otolaryngological and/or rhinological societies. RESULTS: A total of 202 responses were analyzed; the mean participants' age was 45 ± 11 (73% men and 27% women), and 31% were from the United States, Canada 19%, Europe 45%, Middle East and South America 5%. Only 60% of the respondents declared using validated symptoms and endoscopic score systems in their clinical practice. Several practice discrepancies emerged in our cohort, including preferred surgical approach, prescription of preoperative oral steroids, and perioperative antibiotics (59% and 58%, respectively), as well as divergent awareness levels of available biologics for CRSwNP worldwide. CONCLUSIONS: CRSwNP needs a complex and time-consuming assessment, according to the latest guidelines. There seems to be a gap between these recommendations and the real-world data, which should draw more attention to bringing them into uniform clinical practice in the near future.

How deep do you go? Clinical prediction of nasopharyngeal depth based on facial measurements.

Nasopharyngeal depth (ND) prediction is clinically relevant in performing medical procedures, and in enhancing technique accuracy and patient safety. Nonetheless, clinical predictive variables and normative data in adults remain limited. This study aimed to determine normative data on ND and its correlation to external facial measurements. A multicenter cross-sectional study obtained data from adults presenting to otolaryngology clinics at five sites in Canada, Italy, and Spain. Investigators compared endoscopically measured depth from the nasal sill (soft tissue between the nasal ala and columella) to nasopharynx along the nasal floor to the "curved distance from the alar-facial groove along the face to the tragus" and "distance from the tragus to a plane perpendicular to the philtrum." When sinus computed tomography images were available, the distance from the nasopharynx to the nasal sill was also collected. 371 patients participated in the study (41% women; 51 years old, SD 18). Average ND was 9.4 cm (SD 0.86) and 10.1 cm (SD 0.9) for women and men, respectively (p < 0.001; 95% CI 0.46-0.86). Perpendicular distance was strongly correlated to ND (r = 0.775; p < 0.001), with an average underestimation of 0.1 cm (SD 0.65; 95% CI 0.06-0.2). The equation: ND (cm) = perpendicular distance*0.773 + 2.344, generated from 271 randomly selected participants, and validated on 100 participants, resulted in a 0.03 cm prediction error (SD 0.61; 95% CI -0.08-0.16). Nasopharyngeal depth can be approximated by the distance from the tragus to a plane perpendicular to the philtrum.

Effects and Mechanisms Activated by Treatment with Cationic, Anionic and Zwitterionic Liposomes on an In Vitro Model of Porcine Pre-Pubertal Sertoli Cells.

Liposomes have been successfully used as drug-delivery vehicles, but there are no clinical studies on improved fertility and the few reported experimental studies have been performed in animal models far from humans. The aim of this paper was to study the effects of treatment with cationic, anionic and zwitterionic liposomes on our superior mammalian model of porcine prepubertal Sertoli cells (SCs) to find a carrier of in vitro test drugs for SCs. Porcine pre-pubertal SCs cultures were incubated with different liposomes. Viability, apoptosis/necrosis status (Annexin-V/Propidium iodide assay), immunolocalisation of ß-actin, vimentin, the phosphorylated form of AMP-activated protein Kinase (AMPK)α and cell ultrastructure (Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM) were analysed. Zwitterionic liposomes did not determine changes in the cell cytoplasm. The incubation with anionic and cationic liposomes modified the distribution of actin and vimentin filaments and increased the levels of the phosphorylated form of AMPKα. The Annexin/Propidium Iodide assay suggested an increase in apoptosis. TEM analysis highlighted a cytoplasmic vacuolisation. In conclusion, these preliminary data indicated that zwitterionic liposomes were the best carrier to use in an in vitro study of SCs to understand the effects of molecules or drugs that could have a clinical application in the treatment of certain forms of male infertility.

Effects of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone on Human Sperm Motility In Vitro.

To evaluate whether the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor (FSHR) is expressed in human spermatozoa and the effects of FSH incubation on sperm function. Twenty-four Caucasian men were recruited. Thirteen patients had asthenozoospermia, and the remaining 11 had normal sperm parameters (controls). After confirming FSHR expression, spermatozoa from patients and controls were incubated with increasing concentrations of human purified FSH (hpFSH) to reassess FSHR expression and localization and to evaluate progressive and total sperm motility, the mitochondrial membrane potential, and protein kinase B (AKT) 473 and 308 phosphorylation. FSHR is expressed in the post-acrosomal segment, neck, midpiece, and tail of human spermatozoa. Its localization does not differ between patients and controls. Incubation with hpFSH at a concentration of 30 mIU/mL appeared to increase FSHR expression mainly in patients. Incubation of human spermatozoa with hpFSH overall resulted in an overall deterioration of both progressive and total motility in patients and controls and worse mitochondrial function only in controls. Finally, incubation with FSH increased AKT473/tubulin phosphorylation to a greater extent than AKT308. FSHR is expressed in the post-acrosomal region, neck, midpiece, and tail of human spermatozoa. Contrary to a previous study, we report a negative effect of FSH on sperm motility and mitochondrial function. FSH also activates the AKT473 signaling pathway.

Exosomal miR-17-5p, miR-146a-3p, and miR-223-3p Correlate with Radiologic Sequelae in Survivors of COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

We investigated the association between circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) potentially involved in the lung inflammatory process and fibrosis development among COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors. At 4 ± 2 months from clinical recovery, COVID-19-related ARDS survivors matched for age, sex, and clinical characteristics underwent chest high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) and were selected based on imaging pattern evolution into fully recovered (N = normal), pulmonary opacities (PO) and fibrosis-like lesions (FL). Based on the previous literature, we performed plasma miRNA profiling of exosomal miRNAs belonging to the NLRP3-inflammasome platform with validated (miR-17-5p, miR-223-3p) and putative targets (miR-146a-5p), miRNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of acute phase cytokines (miR128-3p, miR3168, miR125b-2-3p, miR106a-5p), miRNAs belonging to the NLRP4-inflammasome platform (miR-141-3p) and miRNAs related to post-transcriptional regulation of the fibrosis process (miR-21-5p). miR-17-5p, miR-223-3p, and miR-146a-5p were significantly down-regulated in patients with FL when compared to patients with PO. miR-146a-5p was also down-regulated in patients with FL than in N. The expression of the remaining miRNAs did not differ by group. In patients with long-term pulmonary radiological sequelae following COVID-19-related ARDS, a down-regulation of miR-17-5p, miR-146a-3p, and miR-223-3p correlated to fibrosis development in patients showing persistent hyper-reactivity to inflammatory stimulation. Our results support the hypothesis that NLRP3-Inflammasome could be implicated in the process of fibrotic evolution of COVID-19-associated ARDS.

Parastomal hernia: an overview.

Parastomal hernia (PH) is one of the most frequent ostomy complications, and the reported incidence in the literature is highly variable. As highlighted by the Association of Stoma Care Nurses UK, this complication develops mainly in children and older men over 70, but many predisposing factors are related to the individual patient and surgery. There is no standardised system for assessing PH. The main assessment techniques include objective examination, ultrasound scan and computed tomography. Prevention is based on various interventions by surgeons and stoma care nurses (SCNs). The SCN's primary interventions include accurate patient evaluation, pre-operative ostomy siting, education about body weight management and advice on appropriate exercises. The treatment of PH can be conservative or surgical, and the choice is based on the patient's clinical condition. Ostomy can significantly impact on a patient's quality of life (QoL), and the presence of PH can further aggravate the situation. This overview of PH considers the incidence, aetiology, prevention, treatment and impact on QoL.

Post-diagnosis smoking cessation and survival of patients with head and neck cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cigarette smoking is the main risk factor for head and neck cancer (HNC) and many HNC patients are active smokers at diagnosis. We conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to quantify the survival impact of smoking cessation at or around the time of HNC diagnosis. We searched studies published until December 31, 2021, and used random-effects meta-analysis to pool study-specific estimates into summary hazard ratio (SHR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Sixteen studies were published between 1983 and 2021, and over 2300 HNC patients were included. Studies were diverse in terms of design, patients, tumours and treatment characteristics, and criteria used to discriminate quitters from continued smokers. HNC patients who quit smoking at or around diagnosis had significantly better overall survival than continued smokers (SHR 0.80, 95% CI 0.70-0.91, n studies = 10). A beneficial effect of post-diagnosis smoking cessation was suggested for other survival endpoints as well, but the results were based on fewer studies (n = 5) and affected by publication bias. Cessation counselling should be offered to all smokers who start a diagnostic workup for HNC and should be considered standard multidisciplinary oncological care for HNC patients.

Melatonin modulates Nrf2 activity to protect porcine pre-pubertal Sertoli cells from the abnormal H2 O2 generation and reductive stress effects of cadmium.

Melatonin (MLT) is a cytoprotective agent holding potential to prevent cadmium (Cd) toxicity and its impact in testicular function and fertility. In this study, we explored such potential in porcine pre-pubertal Sertoli cells (SCs). Cd toxicity resulted in impaired SC viability and function, abnormal cellular H2 O2 generation and efflux, and induction of reductive stress by the upregulation of Nrf2 expression and activity, cystine uptake and glutathione biosynthesis, glutathione-S-transferase P (GSTP) expression, and protein glutathionylation inhibition. Cd toxicity also stimulated the activity of cellular kinases (MAPK-ERK1/2 and Akt) and NFkB transcription factor, and cJun expression was increased. MLT produced a potent cytoprotective effect when co-administered with Cd to SCs; its efficacy and the molecular mechanism behind its cytoprotective function varied according to Cd concentrations. However, a significant restoration of cell viability and function, and of H2 O2 levels, was observed both at 5 and 10 µM Cd. Mechanistically, these effects of MLT were associated with a significant reduction of the Cd-induced activation of Nrf2 and GSTP expression at all Cd concentrations. CAT and MAPK-ERK1/2 activity upregulation was associated with these effects at 5 µM Cd, whereas glutathione biosynthesis and efflux were involved at 10 µM Cd together with an increased expression of the cystine transporter xCT, of cJun and Akt and NFkB activity. MLT protects SCs from Cd toxicity reducing its H2 O2 generation and reductive stress effects. A reduced activity of Nrf2 and the modulation of other molecular players of MLT signaling, provide a mechanistic rational for the cytoprotective effect of this molecule in SCs.

Impact of electrochemotherapy in metastatic cutaneous melanoma: a contemporary systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) harnesses electric pulses to enhance cytotoxic drug delivery into tumors and has entered the armamentarium to treat superficially metastatic melanoma. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess treatment patterns and patient outcomes. METHODS: PubMed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were queried for publication from inception to September 2020. Primary outcome measures were overall and complete response rate (ORR and CRR); secondary outcomes included local control rate (LCR) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Twenty-seven studies met the selection criteria for a total of 1161 individuals (mean age 71 years) and 5308 tumors (weighted mean size 14 mm). The majority of patients (n = 1124) underwent bleomycin-ECT. Aggregate ORR was 77.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 71.0 - 83.2%) and CRR 48% (95% CI 42 - 54%), with no significant difference between the route of bleomycin administration (ORR, 69.2 vs. 81.9% following intravenous or intratumoral bleomycin, p = .37) and tumor size (p = .69). When reported (n = 8 studies), 1- and 2-year LCR ranged from 54 to 89% and 72 to 74%, respectively, and 1-year OS (n = 3 studies) from 67 to 89%. CONCLUSIONS: ECT with either intratumoral or intravenous bleomycin confers a high therapeutic response in cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Moderate evidence supports its low toxicity and durability of local control.HighlightsElectrochemotherapy (ECT) is associated with a 77% overall response rate (ORR).Intravenous and intratumoral bleomycin are equally effective.There are no relevant toxicity concerns.One-year local tumor control rate ranges from 54 to 89%.Current literature has significant variation in reporting.

Extracellular vesicles miR-210 as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and survival prediction of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.

BACKGROUND: The identification of early diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an unmet clinical need. We hypothesized that extracellular vesicles miR-210 expression (EV-miR-210) could be a potential biomarker for OSCC diagnosis and follow-up. METHODS: The expression of EV-miR-210 was measured in the plasma of OSCC patients (n = 30) and compared to that of controls (n = 14). RESULTS: The median EV-miR-210 expression was significantly higher in OSCC patients compared to controls who had often, undetectable levels (p < 0.0001). We performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for discriminating OSCC cases from controls. EV-miR-210 yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9513 with sensitivity 92.3% and specificity 86.6%. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that high EV-miR-210 expression was associated with worse 3 years' survival (p < 0.05). Cox regression hazard model indicated that high EV-miR-210, G2, and G3 grading and pathological nodal status (pN)>1 were independent predictors of worse survival in OSCC patients. CONCLUSION: These preliminary data suggest that EV-mir-210 may be a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in OSCC.

A practical overview of CT and MRI features of developmental, inflammatory, and neoplastic lesions of the sphenoid body and clivus.

The sphenoid bone is an unpaired bone that contributes to the formation of the skull base. Despite the enormous progress in transnasal endoscopic visualisation, imaging techniques remain the cornerstones to characterise any pathological condition arising in this area. In the present review, we offer a bird's-eye view of the developmental, inflammatory, and neoplastic alterations affecting the sphenoid body and clivus, with the aim to propose a practical diagnostic aid for radiologists based on clinico-epidemiological, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging features.
