Effectiveness of Positron Emission Tomography for Predicting Chemotherapy Response in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases by Glazer, Evan

“…For example, a few years ago an extrahepatic metastasis effectively eliminated surgical resection, but a combination of chemotherapeutic options and surgical techniques has expanded the indications for resection and increased the population of patients who may benefit.1,2 Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has increased the resectability rate by 11% to 37%.1 Unfortunately, greater than 80% of patients undergoing hepatic resection will have recurrences, mostly within the first 2 years.2 Nonetheless, the only hope for cure is resection, and prior surgical dogma based on the number of lesions, size of the tumor-free resection margin, and presence of resectable extrahepatic disease must be questioned.3- 5 The current standard approach to surgical planning is contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for specific tumor characteristics or contraindications to CT.6 Several series showed that focal extrahepatic disease, an isolated pulmonary lesion, can be safely resected, with 5-year survival rates of 29% to 58%.7,8 In 1 series,7 17 of 30 patients required 3 or more resections. …”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Haissam Abou-Saleh (497840)

“…Although no single sign of cardiotoxicity was observed upon exposure to 200 mg/L of ChNPs, as judged by heartbeat rate, the corrected QT interval (QTc, which measures the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle), maximum cardiac arrest, and ejection fraction assays, the same dosage elicited the impairment of both liver size (decreased liver size, but without steatosis and lipid yolk retention) and neurobehavioral activity (increased movement under different light conditions). …”

A genetically encoded BRET-based SARS-CoV-2 Mpro protease activity sensor by Anupriya M. Geethakumari (17052375)

“…Further, in vitro assays with the BRET-based Mpro sensors revealed a molecular crowding-mediated increase in the rate of M^pro activity and a decrease in the inhibitory potential of GC376. The sensors developed here will find direct utility in studies related to drug discovery targeting the SARS-CoV-2 M^pro and functional genomics application to determine the effect of sequence variation in M^pro.…”

Risk factors for early death due to recurrence after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: Results of a multicenter study by Abdalla, Eddie

“…Of these, 53 (43%) died of recurrence, 30 (24%) of post-operative complications, and 40 (33%) of liver failure/hemorrhage. On multivariateanalysis, tumor size greater than 5 cm (P < 0.02; odds ratio, 3.0), multiple tumors(P < 0.01; odds ratio, 3.3), and greater than 5 mitoses per 10 high-power fields(P < 0.03; odds ratio, 3) were associated with increased risk of early death due torecurrence.Conclusions: These findings enable identification of patients with HCC who are athigh risk for early death due to recurrence following potentially curative resection whomight be candidates for adjuvant therapy trials.…”
