Abstract
BACKGROUND Multivisceral resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (LPS) is associated with increased morbidity and may not confer a survival benefit compared with tumor-only (TO) resection. We compared both approaches using a novel statistical method called the "win ratio" (WR). METHODS Patients who underwent resection of LPS from 2004 to 2015 were identified from the National Cancer Database. Multivisceral resection was defined as removal of the primary site in addition to other organs. The WR was calculated based on a hierarchy of postoperative outcomes: 30-day and 90-day mortality, long-term survival, and severe complication. RESULTS Among 958 patients (multivisceral 634, TO 324) who underwent resection, the median age was 63 years (interquartile range [IQR] 54-71) with a median follow-up of 51 months (IQR 30-86). There was no difference in the WR among patients who underwent TO versus multivisceral resection in the matched cohort (WR 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61-1.10). In patients aged 72-90 years, those who underwent multivisceral resection had 36% lower odds of winning compared with patients undergoing TO resection (WR 0.64, 95% CI 0.40-0.98). A subgroup analysis of patients classified as not having adjacent tumor involvement at the time of surgery revealed that those patients who underwent multivisceral resection had 33% lower odds of winning compared to TO resection (WR 0.67, 95% CI 0.45-0.99). CONCLUSIONS Based on win-ratio assessments of a hierarchical composite endpoint, multivisceral resection in patients without adjacent tumor involvement may not confer improved outcomes. This method supports the rationale for less invasive resection of LPS in select patients, especially older patients.

Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a biologically diverse group of mesenchymal tumors that predominantly exhibit a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is considered the mainstay of treatment and provides the only chance for long-term survival. However, some patients present with locally advanced, unresectable disease, and for those who are able to undergo resection, tumor recurrence occurs in over half of patients. In addition, the efficacy of conventional systemic therapies remains dismal. The serine/threonine kinase AKT pathway is one of the most frequently aberrant activated signaling pathways that has been verified in many types of human cancer. Dysregulation of the AKT cascade is known to result in tumorigenesis and aggressive clinical behavior for many tumor types including STS. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with its downstream effectors, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), have been investigated for decades as promising targets for the treatment of STS, but significant challenges remain and the prognosis of patients with advanced STS has not improved in over two decades. In this review, we will first describe the AKT pathway and its role in STS tumor biology and then discuss the current challenges in targeting the AKT pathway to treat patients with advanced sarcoma.

Abstract
Lupus nephritis (LN) is an autoimmune disease with substantial morbidity/mortality and limited efficacy of available therapies. Memory T (Tm) lymphocytes infiltrate LN kidneys, contributing to organ damage. Analysis of LN, diabetic nephropathy, and healthy donor kidney biopsies revealed high infiltration of active CD8+ Tm cells expressing high voltage-dependent Kv1.3 potassium channels-key T cell function regulators-in LN. Nanoparticles that selectively down-regulate Kv1.3 in Tm cells (Kv1.3-NPs) reduced CD40L and interferon-γ (IFNγ) in Tm cells from LN patients in vitro. Kv1.3-NPs were tested in humanized LN mice obtained by engrafting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from LN patients into immune-deficient mice. LN mice exhibited features of the disease: increased IFNγ and CD3+CD8+ T cell renal infiltration, and reduced survival versus healthy donor PBMC engrafted mice. Kv1.3-NP treatment of patient PBMCs before engraftment decreased CD40L/IFNγ and prolonged survival of LN mice. These data show the potential benefits of targeting Kv1.3 in LN.
