RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of pleural lavage cytology positivity on early recurrence in patients operated on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: This is a multicentre prospective cohort study of 684 patients undergoing an anatomical lung resection for NSCLC between October 2015 and October 2017 at 12 national centres. A pleural lavage was performed before and after lung resection. The association between the different predictors of early recurrence and PLC positivity was performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. A propensity score analysis was performed by inverse probability weighting (IPSW) using average treatment effect (ATE) estimation to analyse the impact of PLC positivity on early recurrence. RESULTS: Overall PLC positivity was observed in 15 patients (2.2%). After two years, 193 patients (28.2%) relapsed, 182 (27.2%) with a negative PLC and 11 (73.3%) with a positive PLC (p<0.001). Factors associated to early recurrence were adenocarcinoma histology (OR=1.59, 95%CI 1.06-2.38, p=0.025), visceral pleural invasion (OR=1.59, 95%CI 1.04-2.4, p=0.03), lymph node involvement (OR=1.84, 95%CI 1.14-2.96, p=0.013), advanced pathological stage (OR=2.12, 95%CI 1.27-3.54, p=0.004) and PLC positivity (OR=4.14, 95%CI 1.25-16.36, p=0.028). After IPSW, PLC positivity was associated with an increased risk of early recurrence (OR=3.46, 95%CI 2.25-5.36, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Positive pleural lavage cytology was found to be the strongest predictor of early recurrence.

Introducción: la biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela (GC) es la técnica estándar para la estadificación axilar en el cáncer de mama. No hay consenso en el empleo del método OSNA (One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification) para el análisis del GC en las pacientes que recibieron el tratamiento neoadyuvante (TNA). En este trabajo analizamos los resultados obtenidos con OSNA en estas pacientes para justificar su implantación en nuestro centro. Material y métodos: se seleccionaron 42 casos del grupo de 163 pacientes con CM tratadas con TNA en nuestro centro, a las que se realizó OSNA del GC, obteniéndose una media de 2,1 ganglios por paciente. Se analizó además la expresión de citoqueratina 19 (CK19), grado tumoral, fenotipo molecular y el grado de respuesta al TNA de estas pacientes. Se estudiaron los GC mediante técnica OSNA y los no centinelas por el método tradicional. Resultados: el grado tumoral fue 2-3 en el 97,6% de los casos, el fenotipo luminal A (17%), luminal B (38%), triple-negativo (26,1%) y HER2 (19%). La respuesta al TNA fue completa en el 59,5% de las pacientes y la expresión de CK19 no se vio modificada. Los ganglios estudiados fueron positivos en 9 pacientes (21,4%) en las que posteriormente se realizó una linfadenectomía y un único caso presentó ganglio no centinela afecto (2,3%). Conclusiones: el método OSNA para el estudio del GC tras el TNA es muy superior al método tradicional, ya que permite la detección intraoperatoria de grupo celular aislado y micrometástasis no detectables con los métodos tradicionales, evitando segundas intervenciones y falsos negativos al analizarse completo el GC, y demuestra que no se altera la expresión de CK19 con el TNA.

Background: Selective sentinel node (SN) biopsy is the standard technique for axillary staging in breast cancer (BC). There is no consensus on the use of OSNA (One-Step Acid Nucleic Amplification) method for SN in patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment (NAT). We have studied the results obtained in our centre to justify the advantages of its implementation. Material and methods: 42 cases were selected from the group of 163 patients with BC treated with NAT, who underwent OSNA of the SN, obtaining a mean of 2.1 nodes per patient. We also analyzed cytokeratin 19 (CK19) expression, tumour grade, molecular phenotype and the degree of response to NAT in these patients. The SN were studied using the OSNA technique and non-sentinel nodes using the traditional method. Results: Tumour grade was 2-3 in 97.6% of cases, phenotype luminal A (17%), luminal B (38%), triple-negative (26.1%) and HER2 (19%). The response to NAT was complete in 59.5% of patients and CK19 expression was unchanged. The nodes studied were positive in 9 patients (21.4%) in whom lymphadenectomy was performed and only one case had a non-sentinel node involvement (2.3%). Conclusions: The OSNA method for the study of SN after NAT is far superior to the traditional method as it: It allows intraoperative detection of isolated cell group and micrometastases not detectable with traditional methods, avoiding second interventions. It avoids false negatives when the whole SN is analyzed. It shows that CK19 expression is not altered by NAT. (AU)

Protein misfolding diseases refer to a variety of disorders that develop as a consequence of the misfolding of proteins in various organs. The etiologies of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease remain unclear, but it seems that type two diabetes and other prediabetic states could contribute to the appearance of the sporadic forms of these diseases. In addition to amylin deposition, other amyloidogenic proteins implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases could have important roles in the pathogenesis of this disease. As we have previously demonstrated the presence of α-synuclein deposits in the pancreas of patients with synucleinopathies, as well as tau and Aß deposits in the pancreatic tissue of Alzheimer's disease patients, we studied the immunoreactivity of amylin, tau and α-synuclein in the pancreas of 138 subjects with neurodegenerative diseases or type two diabetes and assessed whether the pancreatic ß-cells of these subjects present cooccurrence of misfolded proteins. Furthermore, we also assessed the pancreatic expression of prion protein (PrP) in these subjects and its interaction, both in the pancreas and brain, with α-synuclein, tau, Aß and amylin. Our study shows, for the first time, that along with amylin, pancreatic α-synuclein, Aß, PrP and tau may contribute together to the complex pathophysiology of type two diabetes and in the appearance of insulin resistance in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, we show that the same mixed pathologies that are observed in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative diseases are also present outside the nervous system. Finally, we provide the first histological evidence of an interaction between PrP and Aß, α-synuclein, amylin or tau in the pancreas and locus coeruleus. These findings will shed more light on the common pathological pathways shared by neurodegenerative diseases and type two diabetes, benefiting the exploration of common therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat these devastating amyloid diseases.

OBJECTIVE: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, and although its etiology remains unclear, it seems that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other prediabetic states of insulin resistance could contribute to the appearance of sporadic AD. As such, we have assessed whether tau and ß-amyloid (Aß) deposits might be present in pancreatic tissue of subjects with AD, and whether amylin, an amyloidogenic protein deposited in the pancreas of T2DM patients, might accumulate in the brain of AD patients. METHODS: We studied pancreatic and brain tissue from 48 individuals with no neuropathological alterations and from 87 subjects diagnosed with AD. We examined Aß and tau accumulation in the pancreas as well as that of amylin in the brain. Moreover, we performed proximity ligation assays to ascertain whether tau and/or Aß interact with amylin in either the pancreas or brain of these subjects. RESULTS: Cytoplasmic tau and Aß protein deposits were detected in pancreatic ß cells of subjects with AD as well as in subjects with a normal neuropathological examination but with a history of T2DM and in a small cohort of control subjects without T2DM. Furthermore, we found amylin deposits in the brain of these subjects, providing histological evidence that amylin can interact with Aß and tau in both the pancreas and hippocampus. INTERPRETATION: The presence of both tau and Aß inclusions in pancreatic ß cells, and of amylin deposits in the brain, provides new evidence of a potential overlap in the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of T2DM and AD.

Parkinson's disease patients experience a wide range of non-motor symptoms that may be provoked by deposits of phosphorylated α-synuclein in the peripheral nervous system. Pre-existing diabetes mellitus might be a risk factor for developing Parkinson's disease, and indeed, nearly 60% of Parkinson's disease patients are insulin resistant. Thus, we have investigated whether phosphorylated α-synuclein is deposited in pancreatic tissue of subjects with synucleinopathies. We studied pancreatic tissue from 39 subjects diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Lewy body Dementia or incidental Lewy bodies disease, as well as that from 34 subjects with diabetes mellitus and a normal neuropathological examination, and 52 subjects with a normal neuropathological examination. We examined the pancreatic accumulation of phosphorylated α-synuclein and of the islet amyloid polypeptide precursor (IAPP), an amyloidogenic protein that plays an unknown role in diabetes mellitus, but that can promote α-synuclein amyloid deposition in vitro. Moreover, we performed proximity ligation assays to assess whether these two proteins interact in the pancreas of these subjects. Cytoplasmic phosphorylated α-synuclein deposits were found in the pancreatic ß cells of 14 subjects with Parkinson's disease (93%), in 11 subjects with Lewy body Dementia (85%) and in 8 subjects with incidental Lewy body disease (73%). Furthermore, we found similar phosphorylated α-synuclein inclusions in 23 subjects with a normal neuropathological examination but with diabetes mellitus (68%) and in 9 control subjects (17%). In addition, IAPP/α-synuclein interactions appear to occur in patients with pancreatic inclusions of phosphorylated α-synuclein. The presence of phosphorylated α-synuclein inclusions in pancreatic ß cells provides a new evidence of a mechanism that is potentially common to the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, PD and DLB. Moreover, the interaction of IAPP and α-synuclein in the pancreatic ß cells of patients may represent a novel target for the development of strategies to treat these diseases.

Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing neoplasms that display neuroendocrine properties. The term carcinoid is generally applied to well-differentiated neoplasms, while neuroendocrine carcinoma is reserved only for poorly differentiated lesions. They can be found throughout the different regions of the gastrointestinal system, although they have predilection for the ileum.

El síndrome de Meckel es un infrecuente y letal síndrome polimalformativo de herencia autosómica recesiva. Su incidencia oscila entre 1:1.300 y 1:140.000 nacimientos. Las malformaciones que se observan con más frecuencia son a nivel del sistema nervioso central (frecuentemente meningoencefalocele occipital), displasia renal multiquística bilateral, fibrosis hepática y polidactilia. La alteración genómica que lo produce puede localizarse en diversos loci. El diagnóstico prenatal es posible mediante sospecha ecográfica y, en muchos casos, mediante estudio del ADN fetal. Presentamos el caso de una paciente que tuvo 2 embarazos consecutivos en los que se diagnosticó dicho síndrome (AU)
Meckel syndrome is an infrequent and lethal syndrome characterized by multiple malformations. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. The incidence of this syndrome ranges from 1:1,300 to 1:140,000 births. The most common malformations are those affecting the central nervous system (usually occipital meningoencephalocele), bilateral renal cystic dysplasia, fibrotic changes of the liver and polydactyly. The associated genomic alteration can involve distinct loci. Prenatal diagnosis is feasible with ultrasound findings and, in numerous cases, with fetal DNA analysis. We present the case of a woman who had two consecutive pregnancies with a diagnosis of Meckel syndrome (AU)

Según nuestro conocimiento, este es el primer caso descrito de un condrosarcoma mesenquimal (CM) nasofaríngeo y un carcinoma de células acinares (CCA) de la glándula parótida síncronos en una niña de 11 años. El CM es un sarcoma de alto grado de comportamiento clínico agresivo, con gran tendencia a las recidivas tardías y a metastatizar. Es un tumor bifásico constituido por áreas de células pequeñas e indiferenciadas, entremezcladas con islotes de cartílago hialino.Típicamente ocurre en adultos jóvenes y el tratamiento consiste en su extirpación con márgenes amplios. El CCA es un tumor maligno de glándulas salivares poco frecuente.La presencia de gránulos citoplasmáticos de zimógeno (PAS +) es muy específica de esta entidad.Puede afectar a pacientes de cualquier edad. Según publicaciones recientes, el pronóstico de los tumores malignos de glándula salivar en la población infantil es bueno(AU)
We present a case of synchronous mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) of the nasopharyx and acinic cell carcinoma (AAC) of the parotid gland in an 11 year old girl. To our knowledge, this is the first time this has been reported.MC is a high grade sarcoma which is highly aggressive clinically and has a strong tendency towards late recurrences and distant metastases. Morphologically, it is a biphasic tumour made up of areas of small, round, undifferentiated cells intermixed with islands of hyaline cartilage. Typically, it occurs in young adults and requires surgical excision with wide margins. AAC is an unusual malignant salivary gland neoplasm which can affect a wide age range of patients, from young children to adults. PAS positive cytoplasmic zymogen granules are highly specific for AAC. According to recent studies, malignant salivary gland neoplasms in paediatric patients have a good prognosis(AU)

Las metástasis cutáneas umbilicales, o «ganglio de la hermana María José», son un signo poco común y de mal pronóstico asociado con tumores malignos intraabdominales. Aparecen junto a tumores ginecológicos como segunda causa en frecuencia, después de las neoplasias del tracto gastrointestinal. Aunque su histología más frecuente es el adenocarcinoma, en este artículo presentamos el caso de una mujer de 70 años diagnosticada de un carcinoma escamoso de cérvix con diagnóstico sincrónico de metástasis umbilicales
Umbilical cutaneus metastases, also termed Sister Mary Joseph's node, is a very uncommon sign and it has poor prognosis. It is asociated with malignant intraabdominal tumours and, in some cases is the only manifestation of internal malignancie. The most frequently cancer associated are gastrointestinal cancer, and secondly gynaecological cancers. Despite it's most common histology is adenocarcinoma, we present, in this article, a case report of a seventy years old woman with an squamous cervical cancer and with a diagnostic of sindromic umbilical metastases
