OBJECTIVE To examine the role of cervicovaginal cytology in diagnoses and surveillance of the patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC). METHODS Patients who underwent EC surgery that included a follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. The cohort was limited to the patients who had an available cervical cytology result within 12 months before the primary surgery took place. The glandular abnormalities were classified in the following subclassifications "atypical glandular cells" (AGC)-not otherwise specified (NOS), AGC-favor neoplasia, endocervical AIS, and adenocarcinoma. RESULTS A total of 411 patients were eligible for the study. The cervical cytology was found to be normal and recorded as negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy in 368 (89.5%) patients. In 43 (10.5%) patients, cervical cytology was interpreted as AGC-NOS (n = 11), AGC-FN (n = 7), adenocarcinoma (n = 20), malignant epithelial tumor (n = 3), and squamous carcinoma (n = 2). During the follow-up, recurrence was observed in 53 (12.9%) patients. Among six isolated vaginal cuff recurrences, two of the cases presented with malignant cytology, and the additional four cases were suspected during clinical examination. Among women with recurrence (n = 53), there were malignant cytological findings in four of the patients. In the whole population (n = 411), there were four other abnormal cytological findings detected within the surveillance. These four cytology results were nonmalignant and no recurrence was identified. CONCLUSION There is no significant clinical advantage of cervicovaginal cytology testing before diagnosis or during the surveillance of EC. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.OBJECTIVE To quantify peripheral nerve lesions in symptomatic and asymptomatic hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PNP) by analyzing the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) of the sciatic nerve, and to test its potential as a novel biomarker for macromolecular changes. METHODS Twenty-five patients with symptomatic ATTRv-PNP, 30 asymptomatic carriers of the mutant transthyretin gene (mutTTR), and 20 age-/sex-matched healthy controls prospectively underwent magnetization transfer contrast imaging at 3 Tesla. Two axial three-dimensional gradient echo sequences with and without an off-resonance saturation rapid frequency pulse were conducted at the right distal thigh. Sciatic nerve regions of interest were manually drawn on 10 consecutive axial slices in the images without off-resonance saturation, and then transferred to the corresponding slices that were generated by the sequence with the off-resonance saturation pulse. Subsequently, the MTR and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the sciattional Neurology published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of American Neurological Association.INTRODUCTION In the selection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients for immunotherapy, specimen processed as cell blocks (CBs) may be the only available material to assess PD-L1 expression. Therefore, optimal CB preparation becomes paramount. In this context, here we assessed whether inadequate fixation time might be one of the pre-analytical factors affecting PD-L1 expression. METHODS Ex vivo CBs from placental (n = 3) and NSCLC (n = 8) resection specimens were obtained. PD-L1 staining was performed on CBs prepared at increasing fixation times (12 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 168 hours and 504 hours) using the companion diagnostic SP263 Assay and a validated 22C3 laboratory developed test (LDT). Staining intensity and percentage of positive cells were evaluated. selleck products RESULTS All placental CBs showed moderate to strong PD-L1 positivity in most cells, regardless of the fixation time. Likewise, the percentage of SP263-stained NSCLC cells was similar at all fixation times except for one case, which showed less intense SP263 staining at 168 hours. Conversely, in 5/8 cases, the 22C3 LDT percentage of positive cells and staining intensity decreased at 168 hours and 504 hours. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that fixation time influences the performance of 22C3 LDT on CBs. Thus, we recommend that the fixation time of cytological materials be carefully checked, especially when PD-L1 testing is delayed until the oncology request. Indeed, delays in tissue processing and paraffin embedding may lead to sub-optimal performance of PD-L1 staining on CBs. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.OBJECTIVES Depersonalization-derealization (DEP-DER) is a dissociative experience which is related to psychopathology and distress. Yet, the aetiological factors leading to DEP-DER are not sufficiently clear. In this study, we suggest rumination as one possible antecedent. Thus, the goal of the study was to explore the longitudinal relationship between rumination and DEP-DER. DESIGN Longitudinal self-report study; mixed clinical and community sample. METHODS The study was conducted on 98 participants, 49 of them were diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the other 49 were healthy, matched community controls. The participants underwent a structured clinical interview and completed a battery of questionnaires. Then, the participants completed the same battery again once a month, for five additional assessment points (6 months in total). The data were analysed using multilevel linear modelling with time-lag analysis. RESULTS We found that levels of rumination and DEPhment. The findings provide one possible explanation for the frequency of DEP-DER symptoms in anxiety and depressive disorders. Poor sleep quality and emotion regulation difficulties should be explored as potential mediators explaining this link. © 2020 The British Psychological Society.INTRODUCTION Previous studies have reported better immunovirological characteristics in women compared with men after HIV seroconversion. selleck products We investigated whether differences persisted under long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) in individuals treated since acute and early HIV-1 infection (AHI). METHODS Data were obtained for 262 women and 1783 men enrolled between 1996 and 2017 in the French multicentre ANRS PRIMO cohort. We modelled the viral response, long-term immune recovery and HIV DNA decay in the 143 women and 1126 men who initiated ART within the first three months of infection. RESULTS The participants were mostly white. The mean age was 37 years at AHI diagnosis. Pre-ART viral loads were lower in women than men, 5.2 and 5.6 log10 copies/mL (p = 0.001). After ART initiation, women more rapidly achieved viral suppression than men (adjusted hazard ratio 1.33, 95% confidence interval 1.09 to 1.69). They also experienced a faster increase in CD4+ T-cell count and CD4CD8 ratio during the first months of treatment.
