    الوصف: In 2016, Nikiforov et al. (JAMA Oncol 2:1023-1029, 2016) proposed replacing the term "non-invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma" (FVPTC) with the term "non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features" (NIFTP). In 2018, to avoid the misdiagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer as NIFTP, the authors proposed changes to the criteria for NIFTP classification. Some previous studies evaluated the impact of NIFTP on the risk of malignancy (ROM) in the fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) diagnostic categories according to the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC). However, little is known about the influence of an NIFTP diagnosis on ROM on the basis of the revised criteria. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of NIFTP on ROM using the revised diagnostic criteria. The present study included 998 thyroid nodules that were diagnosed and resected at the same medical center. All specimens with a diagnosis of cancer were reviewed to identify NIFTP according to the revised 2018 criteria. Additionally, molecular diagnostics were performed to detect the BRAF p.V600E mutation and TERT promoter mutations in all the NIFTP cases. The number of cases that met the revised criteria was determined, and the ROM was calculated in each of the FNAC diagnostic categories. Only five cases (2.3% of all papillary thyroid carcinoma diagnoses) were considered NIFTP, according to the 2018 criteria. With respect to the FNAC category, one case was a follicular neoplasm or suspicious for a follicular neoplasm (FN/SFN), three cases were suspicious for malignancy (SM), and one case was malignant (M). The ROM decreased in each of the Bethesda categories (0.7% in FN/SFN, 4.3% in SM, and 0.5% in M) when a diagnosis of NIFTP was taken into account. These reductions were not statistically significant. These data indicate that the NIFTP entity has very little impact on ROM for the diagnostic categories of the Bethesda system.

    الوصف: This study aimed to investigate the potential application of ceragenins (CSAs) as new candidacidal agents to prevent biofilm formation on voice prostheses (VPs). The deterioration of the silicone material of VPs is caused by biofilm growth on the device which leads to frequent replacement procedures and sometimes serious complications. A significant proportion of these failures is caused by Candida species. We found that CSAs have significant candidacidal activities in vitro (MIC
    MFC
    MBIC), and they effectively eradicate species of yeast responsible for VP failure. Additionally, in our in vitro experimental setting, when different Candida species were subjected to CSA-13 and CSA-131 during 25 passages, no tested Candida strain showed the significant development of resistance. Using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we found that VP immersion in an ethanol solution containing CSA-131 results in silicon impregnation with CSA-131 molecules, and in vitro testing revealed that fungal biofilm formation on such VP surfaces was inhibited by embedded ceragenins. Future in vivo studies will validate the use of ceragenin-coated VP for improvement in the life quality and safety of patients after a total laryngectomy.

This standing is driving scientists to develop new antibiotics against these microorganisms.Methods: In this study, we measured the MIC/MBC values and estimated the ability of tested molecules to prevent bacterial biofilm formation to explore the effectiveness of β-lactam antibiotics ceftolozane/tazobactam, ceftazidime/avibactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, and ceragenins CSA-13, CSA-44, and CSA-131 against 150 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that were divided into five groups, based on their antibiotic resistance profiles to beta-lactams. Selected strains of microorganisms from each group were also subjected to prolonged incubations (20 passages) with ceragenins to probe the development of resistance towards those molecules. Cytotoxicity of tested ceragenins was evaluated using human red blood cell (RBCs) hemolysis and microscopy observations of human lung epithelial A549 cells after ceragenin treatment. Poloxamer 407 (pluronic F-127) at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 5% was tested as a potential drug delivery substrate to reduce ceragenin toxicity.Results: Collected data proved that ceragenins at low concentrations are highly active against clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa regardless of their resistance mechanisms to conventional antibiotics. Ceragenins also show low potential for resistance development, high antibiofilm activity, and controlled toxicity when used together with poloxamer 407.Conclusion: This data strongly supports the need for further study directed to develop this group of molecules as new antibiotics to fighting infections caused by antibiotic resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Keywords: ceragenin, antibacterial agents, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, antibiotic resistant bacteria, new antibiotics

    الوصف: Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) develops from high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (dVIN). This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of circulating hsa-miR-431-5p in vulvar precancers and VSCC. Expression levels of hsa-miR-431-5p were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR in plasma samples of 29 patients with vulvar precancers (HSIL or dVIN), 107 with VSCC as well as 15 healthy blood donors. We used hsa-miR-93-5p and hsa-miR-425-5p as normalizers. The levels of miR-431-5p were increased in the blood of patients with VSCC compared to those with vulvar precancers. Statistically significant differences in the survival rates (time to progression) were revealed for VSCC patients categorized by miR-431-5p levels. Low levels of circulating miR-431-5p were found to be indicative of unfavorable survival rates. In summary, our data reveal the diagnostic potential of circulating miR-431-5p in patients with vulvar precancers and VSCC.

    الوصف: Ovarian cancer is a global problem that affects women of all ages. Due to the lack of effective screening tests and the usually asymptomatic course of the disease in the early stages, the diagnosis is too late, with the result that less than half of the patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer (OC) survive more than five years after their diagnosis. In this study, we examined the expression of TLR2 in the peripheral blood of 50 previously untreated patients with newly diagnosed OC at various stages of the disease using flow cytometry. The studies aimed at demonstrating the usefulness of TLR2 as a biomarker in the advanced stage of ovarian cancer. In this study, we showed that TLR2 expression levels were significantly higher in women with more advanced OC than in women in the control group. Our research sheds light on the prognostic potential of TLR2 in developing new diagnostic approaches and thus in increasing survival in patients with confirmed ovarian cancer.

    الوصف: Identifying risk factors is crucial for predicting papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with severe course, which causes a clinical problem. The purpose of this study was to assess whether male sex can be such a predictive factor and to verify whether including it as a predictive factor of high initial risk of recurrence/persistence would help to enhance the value of the American Thyroid Association initial risk stratification system (ATA). We retrospectively analyzed 1547 PTC patients (1358 females and 189 males), treated from 1986 to 2018. The relationship between sex and clinicopathological features, response to therapy, and disease status was assessed. Men with PTC showed some adverse clinicopathological features more often than women, including angioinvasion, lymph node metastases, and tumor size >
    40 mm. There were sex-related disparities with respect to response to initial therapy and final follow-up. Male sex is associated with some unfavorable clinicopathological features of PTC, which may affect response to initial therapy or final disease status. In our study, modification of the ATA system by including male sex as a risk factor does not enhance its value. Thus, further studies are needed to assess whether males require treatment modalities or oncological follow-up protocols that are different from those of females.

    الوصف: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm characterized by an abnormal proliferation of clonal, terminally differentiated B lymphocytes. Current approaches for the treatment of MM focus on developing new diagnostic techniques; however, the search for prognostic markers is also crucial. This enables the classification of patients into risk groups and, thus, the selection of the most optimal treatment method. Particular attention should be paid to the possible use of immune factors, as the immune system plays a key role in the formation and course of MM. In this review, we focus on characterizing the components of the immune system that are of prognostic value in MM patients, in order to facilitate the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic directions.
