Abstract
Introduction In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, France was under lockdown for the first time from March 17 to May 10, 2020. Purpose of the Research The aim of this work is to study the impact of lockdown on outpatients’ visits to the hospital pharmacy to collect chronic medication, in order to highlight the pharmaceutical classes concerned and to assess whether a decrease in medication adherence could be observed. Method Retrospectively, using hospital dispensing traceability software, the dispensing of drugs during the eight weeks of lockdown was compared with that during the two eight-week periods before and after lockdown. Evolutions in the number of medicine lines dispensed and outpatient visits were analyzed over the three time periods, according to pharmaceutical classes. A specific analysis was performed between drugs only available at the hospital pharmacy and drugs available at both the community and hospital pharmacy. Results During lockdown, 67% of patients still came regularly, but a significant decrease in the average number of lines dispensed was observed. 15% of regular patients limited their visits during this period. Patients taking drugs available at both the community and hospital pharmacy were significantly more impacted than those taking drugs that could only be dispensed at the hospital pharmacy. On the other hand, age is not a factor associated with the restriction of visits. Conclusions Lockdown affected the visits to the hospital pharmacy of at least one in ten regular outpatients. Sending hospital drugs to community pharmacies and the help of home health care providers limited therapeutic disruptions.

Abstract
180 Background: Cabazitaxel and Lu-PSMA both improved survival in patients with mCRPC after docetaxel and an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), but there is limited data regarding Lu-PSMA activity after cabazitaxel. We aimed at assessing activity of Lu-PSMA and determinants of outcomes in this setting. Methods: Consecutive mCRPC patients from 6 European centers treated with Lu-PSMA after cabazitaxel were included in this retrospective study. Endpoints included radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), time to PSA progression (PSA-TTP), PSA decline, objective response, overall survival, and safety. Results: Of 101 patients included (median age 67y), 64% had ISUP grade 4-5 disease; 71% had bone +/- nodal (LN) metastases, 22% visceral metastases, 7% LN only. All patients and 92% had received previous docetaxel and a prior ARPI (≥ 2 in 47%) before cabazitaxel respectively. Patients had received a median number of 6 cabazitaxel cycles (range 1-26). DNA damage repair alterations (DDR) were found in 11/48 (23%) patients with available testing. Patients received a median number of 3 Lu-PSMA cycles (range 1-14). With a median follow-up of 5.7 months, the median rPFS from Lu-PSMA initiation was 4.3 months (m, 95%CI 3.2-5.7) and median PSA-TTP was 3.5 m (95%CI 3.0-4.5). Overall, 44 patients (44%) experienced a PSA decline ≥ 50% (PSA50), 54 (53%) ≥ 30% (PSA30), and 67 (66%) any PSA decline. Objective response rate was 34%. Baseline characteristics associated with shorter rPFS on Lu-PSMA included ISUP grade 4-5 disease (median rPFS of 3.5 vs. 7.2m, p=0.02) and a time to castration resistance < 12 months (3.1m vs. 4.5m, p=0.04). Patients with LN only had longer rPFS compared to those with bone and visceral metastases (median NR vs. 3.6 and 3.7m, respectively, p=0.02). There was no association between activity of Lu-PSMA and DNA damage repair alterations, duration of previous cabazitaxel therapy, and number of previous ARPI. During Lu-PSMA, a profound PSA decline was associated with longer rPFS: patients achieving PSA50, PSA30 or any PSA decline had respective median rPFS rates of 9.0, 8.3 and 6.2 months, while those who did not experience any PSA decline had a median rPFS of only 2.6 months. Conclusions: Lu-PSMA demonstrated substantial PSA decline but limited duration of response after cabazitaxel in a real-life setting. Adverse baseline characteristics and absence of PSA decline may help early identification of poor responders.

The APSY-SED study: protocol of an observational, longitudinal, mixed methods and multicenter study exploring the psychological adjustment of relatives and healthcare providers of patients with cancer with continuous deep sedation until death. Palliat Care 2022; 21:217. [PMID: 36464684 PMCID: PMC9720978 DOI: 10.1186/s12904-022-01106-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 2016, France is the only country in the World where continuous deep sedation until death (CDSUD) is regulated by law. CDSUD serves as a response to refractory suffering in palliative situations where the patients' death is expected to occur in the following hours or days. Little is known on the psychological adjustment surrounding a CDSUD procedure for healthcare providers (HCPs) and relatives. Our study aims to gather qualitative and quantitative data on the specific processes behind the psychological adjustment of both relatives and HCPs, after the administration of CDSUD for patients with cancer. METHODS The APSY-SED study is a prospective, longitudinal, mixed-methods and multicenter study. Recruitment will involve any French-speaking adult cancer patient for who a CDSUD is discussed, their relatives and HCPs. We plan to include 150 patients, 150 relatives, and 50 HCPs. The evaluation criteria of this research are: 1/ Primary criterion: Psychological adjustment of relatives and HCPs 6 and 13 months after the death of the patient with cancer (psychological adjustment = intensity of anxiety, depression and grief reactions, CDSUD-related distress, job satisfaction, Professional Stress and Professional experience). Secondary criteria: a)occurrence of wish for a CDSUD in patients in palliative phase; b)occurrence of wish for hastened death in patients in palliative phase; c)potential predictors of adjustment assessed after the discussion concerning CDSUD as an option and before the setting of the CDSUD; d) Thematic analysis and narrative account of meaning-making process concerning the grief experience. DISCUSSION The APSY-SED study will be the first to investigate the psychological adjustment of HCPs and relatives in the context of a CDSUD procedure implemented according to French law. Gathering data on the grief process for relatives can help understand bereavement after CDSUD, and participate in the elaboration of specific tailored interventions to support HCPs and relatives. Empirical findings on CDSUD among patients with cancer in France could be compared with existing data in other countries and with results related to other medical fields where CDSUD is also conducted. TRIAL REGISTRATION This protocol received the National Registration Number: ID-RCB2021-A03042-39 on 14/12/2021.

Abstract
7057 Background: PARPi have shown promising results in several cancers, especially breast (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC), but may be associated with an increased risk of t-MNs. A careful monitoring of hematologic toxicity to exclude this risk is necessary. Here we described, in a real-life setting, the management of these adverse effect. Methods: First,we described, in a large cancer center, the profile of t-MN patients among OC patients treated with PARPi addressed in hematological consultation for cytopenias. Secondly, we compared t-MN post OC characteristics according to previous exposition to PARPi. Lastly, we described a large national observatory of 69 t-MNs post PARPi to decipher specific characteristics of these t-MNs. Results: From 2016 to 2021, among 373 PARPi treated patients for OC, 37 (10%) were explored for cytopenia’s leading to 13 (3,5%) t-MNs diagnosis. No differences were seen in terms of age, BRCA1/2 status, type of PARPi, hemoglobin level but patients with t-MNs developed delayed cytopenias post-PARPi initiation (11 months vs to 4 months, p = 0.01), had a longer PARPi exposition (9 months vs 3 months, p = 0.01), lower platelets level (74 G/L vs 173 G/L, p = 0.0005), more cytopenias (2 vs 1, p = 0.0005). 77% of t-MNs patients had a TP53 mutated t-MNs, 33% of patients w/o t-MNs had TP53 mutated clonal hematopoiesis. In the last 20 years, 37 patients were addressed for t-MN post OC at our institute, with an increased incidence of 50% during the last 6 years. Compared to t-MN not exposed to PARPi, t-MN-PARPi patients had more BRCA1/2 predisposition (61.5% vs 0% p = 0.03), their OC tended to be non-progressive (CR/PR/SD = 62.5% vs 38.5%, p = 0.3) and tend to have more TP53 mutated t-MNs (77% vs 47%, p = 0.1). Median OS for t-MNs post PARPi was poor at 8.2 months (CI95% [2.03-18.7]) but not significantly different form other t-MNs (p = 0.8). We then studied 69 t-MNs-PARPi including 28 AML and 41 MDS in patient with history of OC (75%), BC (9%) or both (16%). Median age was 64 years, 80% received Olaparib, 72.5% had a BRCA1/2 predisposition. Median time between cancer diagnosis and initiation of PARPi was 44 months and median duration of PARPi treatment was 14 months. History of haematological toxicity secondary to PARPi was reported in 51% of patients. Karyotype was often complex (61%) associated with a high rate of TP53 mutation (70.5%). Median OS was 9.7 months (CI95%, 5.3-13.9). In multivariate analysis, a longer delay between the end of PARPi treatment and t-NM diagnosis (HR 1.046, p = 0.02), as well Olaparib treatment compared to others PARPi (HR 5.82, p = 0.003 and AML diagnosis (HR 2.485, p = 0.01) were associated with shorter OS. Conclusions: We describe in a large series a higher incidence of t-MNs post PARPi than previously reported. Unfavorable cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities associated with these t-MNS explained the poor OS. Early detection is crucial particularly in case of delayed appearance of cytopenias.

Pain after Interventional Radiology in Oncology: A Case-Control Study from a 5-Year Cohort. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14112576. [PMID: 35681559 PMCID: PMC9179575 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14112576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Interventional radiology plays a major role in oncology both for curative and palliative treatment, but few reports address post-procedural pain. The purpose of this study was to quantify postoperative pain after interventional radiology procedures in oncology and to identify major pain-associated pre and intraoperative factors. Methods: From 2015 to 2019, all patients treated with interventional radiology were included retrospectively in a cohort study. Anesthetic protocols were standardized by the type of radiological procedure. Demographic data, preoperative treatments, analgesic agents, pain score levels, and morphine consumption from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to hospital discharge were collected from databases. In an additional case-control study, patients reporting strong or intolerable pain in PACU were compared to those with no pain. Matching to control cases was based on the type of intervention, sex, and age. Results: From 4411 procedures, severe pain in PACU was more frequent in women (p < 0.04) and the youngest patients (p < 0.0001), after general anesthesia (p < 0.0001). Higher pain levels were associated with certain procedures, such as arterial embolization, limb cementoplasty, osteosynthesis, and abdominal tumor ablation, and when the intervention duration exceeded 160 min (p = 0.038). In the cohort study, high-dose remifentanil (≥0.055 µg/kg/min) was a risk factor for post-procedural high pain levels (p < 0.001). Intraoperative ketoprofen was associated with a decrease in high pain level incidence (p < 0.0001). Severe pain in PACU was a risk factor for severe pain in wards from day 0 until discharge. Conclusion: Severe pain depends on the type and duration of interventional radiology, type of anesthesia, and preoperative use of opiates. Limiting doses of remifentanil and injecting intraoperative analgesics, especially ketoprofen, may reduce the incidence of post-intervention severe pain.

What is the cost burden of surgical implant waste? An analysis of surgical implant waste in an orthopedics and trauma surgery department of a French university hospital in 2016. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2019; 105:1205-1209. [PMID: 31473131 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2019.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2018] [Revised: 05/19/2019] [Accepted: 06/05/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND During an orthopedic or trauma surgery procedure, when an implantable medical device is unpackaged, not implanted and cannot be resterilized, it is considered "waste". The cost burden falls on the hospital. The French Social Security Code provides for add-on reimbursement for certain expensive or very specialized devices (supplementary list of costly implants). To allow its restocking without linking it to a patient or reimbursement request, the wasted implant is tracked in a computerized database. The economic impact of these wasted implants is not known in France. This led us to conduct a retrospective study: 1) to determine the percentage and number of wasted implants, 2) to identify elements related to the surgery that impact implant waste. HYPOTHESIS Various elements of the surgical environment (type of procedure, specialty, surgeon experience, time of year) can independently contribute to the non-implantation of a medical device. METHODS We carried out a retrospective observational study of data collected prospectively in the database of our teaching hospital in 2016. The primary outcome was the percentage of wasted implants. The secondary outcome was the mean cost of these wasted implants. These parameters were determined for all the implants used in orthopedics and trauma surgery and tracked in this department, then for each variable hypothesized to led to non-implantation. Our analysis was descriptive, then comparative. RESULTS In our database, 29,073 devices were tracked (€3,761,180), of which 1995 devices were wasted (6.9%). The total cost of the wasted implants was €179,193 (4.8% of the overall cost). The breakdown of the wasted implants was 430 (4.4%) from the add-on list (average cost of €293.10) versus 1565 implants associated with the hospital's diagnosis-related group payment system (average cost of €33.90). Trauma surgery procedures had significantly more wasted implants than orthopedic surgery (1135 vs. 860 (p<0.01)), although the individual cost was less (€59.20 vs. €130.10 (p<0.01)). Fracture fixation implants were more likely to be wasted than ligament reconstruction or arthroplasty implants, with a lower mean cost. More implants were wasted during hip arthroplasty than during other arthroplasty procedures. Less experienced surgeons wasted more implants than more experienced surgeons (1087 vs. 905 (p<0.01)) but these implants cost less (€69.20 vs. €114.80 (p<0.05)). The percentage of implants wasted was higher during the resident changeover period relative to the other months of the year (772 vs. 1223 (p<0.01)). DISCUSSION This study is the first attempt at quantifying the number and cost of wasted implants in the context of orthopedics and trauma surgery at a teaching hospital in France. While trauma surgery is associated with more wasted implants, the cost burden is higher in orthopedics. Surgeons, by virtue of their experience and teaching mandate, have a decisive role managing this cost burden. TYPE OF STUDY IV, Retrospective study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgical repair of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of 45 consecutive Küss-Anderson-Hynes laparoscopic pyeloplasties performed over a 4-year period (December 1998-November 2002) in adults (26 women, 19 men) with a mean age of 44.8 years (range: 16-83 years). RESULTS The mean operating time was 138 minutes (range: 75-250 minutes). Open conversion was necessary in 3 cases: necrotic pyelitis, ectopic renal artery, posterior pelvic tear. The mean hospital stay was 6.1 days. With a mean follow-up of 19 months (range: 3-58 months), the clinical success rate was 97.6% and the success rate on IVU or scintigraphy was 83.3%. CONCLUSION This series confirms that laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive technique that gives better results than those of the various endopyelotomy techniques and equivalent results to those of open pyeloplasty with decreased morbidity.

Abstract
Ectopic ureteric insertion of the superior renal unit in the context of complete ureteric duplication is frequently accompanied by destruction of the corresponding parenchymal territory. Surgical treatment must comprise upper pole nephrectomy with partial ureterectomy. The authors report a case of one-stage retroperitoneal laparoscopic bilateral treatment which could become the treatment of choice of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the prognostic factors influencing survival and to assess the value of extensive lymphadenectomy in invasive bladder cancer with lymph node invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS The medical records of 62 patients treated by cystectomy with curative lymphadenectomy for invasive bladder cancer with lymph node invasion were reviewed. Thirty four patients had lymph node dissection ascending at least as far as the common iliac vessels, 26 had pelvic lymph node dissection and 2 had simple lymph node biopsies. RESULTS The 2-, 3- and 5-year actuarial survival rates were 37%, 26.6% and 23.6%, respectively, with a median survival of 18.4 months. This study appears to show the independent prognostic value of the following factors: tumour strictly confined to the bladder (< or = pT3a) (p = 0.002), < or = 2 invaded lymph nodes (p = 0.001), N1 lymph node stage (p = 0.009). Extensive lymphadenectomy would not provide any benefit in terms of survival compared to simple pelvic lymph node dissection (p = 0.8). Common iliac node invasion appears to be a factor of poor prognosis when the tumour extends beyond the bladder (> pT3a) (p = 0.018). CONCLUSION In these patients with invasive bladder cancer and lymph node invasion, a number of invaded lymph nodes < or = 2 and local stage < or = pT3a appear to be favourable prognostic factors resulting in a 23.6% remission rate (56.8% when both factors were present simultaneously) after cystectomy plus lymphadenectomy. Extensive lymphadenectomy including the common iliac vessels would not improve survival compared to pelvic lymph node dissection, but nevertheless appears us to be justified, as the presence of common iliac lymph node invasion constitutes a significant and powerful prognostic factor to recommend adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
A 75-year-old woman with melena was found to have a carcinoid tumor in the posterior wall of the duodenal bulb. The biology was normal. The tumor measured 10 mm in size, and endoscopic ultrasonography showed only submucosal involvement. There was no liver metastasis and no regional lymph nodes. Tumoral resection was performed laparoscopically with success. Postoperative course was uneventful. Laparoscopic resection could be an appropriate minimally invasive treatment for selected small size duodenal tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY There is no consensus on the treatment of acute ruptures of the Achilles tendon. We have chosen surgical technique with early muscle stimulation. This study analyses possibilities of functional recovery and complications in Athletes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1983 and 1994, we treated surgically 42 Athletes who had Achilles tendon ruptures with early musculo-tendinous stimulation. The 39 male and 4 female patients had a mean age of 41 years (range, 15 to 70). We have always used Bosworth's technique with gastrocnemius flap procedure. Immediately after surgery, weightbearing with below-the-knee cast was initiated for 6 weeks followed by rehabilitation. RESULTS There was no local major complication, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Only one patient suffered from a traumatic rerupture one month after surgery. Mean value of the calf atrophy was less than 1 cm. 93 per cent of patients returned to previous activity levels and 78.5 per cent of patients returned to their usual sport activity. DISCUSSION Like this study recent results confirm the low complication and recurrence rate of the surgical treatment. Percutaneous technique and conservative treatments seem to be worse for rerupture and sportive functional recovery. Early muscle stimulation decrease morbidity and calf atrophy. Our protocol with weightbearing in ankle neutral position reduces calf atrophy. CONCLUSION A rigid and stable reconstruction, allowing early weightbearing without equinus position seems to be a rational treatment for Achilles tendon rupture in athletes.

Abstract
An intrathyroid primary epithelial spindle-cell tumor with mucous cysts is described in a 9-year-old child. Histologically, this well-circumscribed tumor exhibited a nodular pattern, a prominent spindle cell component with minimal pleomorphism, and well-differentiated mucinous glands within fibrous bands. The spindle cells demonstrated diffuse immunopositivity for cytokeratin and vimentin. Electron microscopy of tissue sections demonstrated that cells contained bundles of cytoplasmic tonofilaments and numerous desmosomes. The light and electron microscopic features and immunohistochemical profile of this tumor were similar to those of recently described thyroid tumors that have been called "SETTLE" tumors (i.e., spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation). These uncommon tumors can be considered intrathyroid thymoblastomas and must be regarded as potentially malignant lesions.

Abstract
High cathepsin D (cath-D) concentration in breast cancer cytosol is associated with increased risk of metastasis. To specify the relative contribution of the different cells types responsible for cath-D level in cytosol, we validated semiquantitative cath-D immunoperoxidase staining on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections, using the M1G8 monoclonal antibody, one of the two antibodies of the cytosolic assay. Using computer-aided image analysis, cath-D level in cancer cells was estimated by integrating both staining intensity in each cell and proportion of stained cells. We confirmed on 41 primary breast cancers a higher expression of cath-D in cancer cells compared with peritumoral mammary glands. Cancer cell staining was mostly in lysosomes and for some invasive ductal carcinomas in large vesicles corresponding to phagosomes. Lymphocytes and fibroblasts were not or were only weakly stained. Macrophages also were stained for cath-D, generally on the periphery of the tumor area. The cytosolic cath-D level was correlated with cath-D expression in cancer cells (r = .76; P = 1 x 10(-4)) rather than with the number of macrophages in the tumor (r = .29; P = .09), as determined by use of the specific anti-CD68 antibody. There was a significant increase in the tissue cath-D level in tumors containing large vesicles compared with tumors without large vesicles. This approach provides a means to separately estimate the prognostic significance of cath-D expression in cancer cells and macrophages when evaluating risk of metastasis.

Abstract
Two cases of cardiac rhabdomyoma have recently been observed in foetuses. The cardiac and muscular nature of the cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies. A review of the literature shows that cardiac rhabdomyomas are usually considered to be hamartomas which are composed of primitive myocardial cells. Their spontaneous regression is often observed and apoptosis has been proposed as a possible mechanism of such a phenomenon. We propose that cardiac rhabdomyomas should be better considered as developmental vestiges rather than as true hamartomas. These vestigial structures would result either from a defect in differentiation, or from a defect in regression of primitive myocardial cells.

Abstract
Cathepsin-D (cath-D) was quantified in 34 breast cancer specimens by immunohistochemical staining of frozen sections with a computer image analysis and the results were compared with the corresponding cytosolic assay. Cath-D concentrations varied from 0 to 420 arbitrary units (AU). Tumour cells were more intensely stained than peritumoral tissue with the D7E3 mouse monoclonal antibody than with rabbit polyclonal antibodies. There was a good correlation (r = 0.80) between cath-D values obtained either by immunohistochemistry with D7E3 antibody or by cytosolic immunoenzymatic assay. However, with a cut-off of 50 AU, 3 out of 25 patients had higher immunohistochemical values and 2 had higher cytosolic values. Therefore, quantification of cath-D concentration in tissue section by immunostaining and a computerised image analyser, which is the only technique available for small tumours, should provide similar prognostic information to that obtained by assaying cath-D in the cytosol.

Abstract
A congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation was diagnosed by ultrasound examination at 20 week's gestation. The entire right lung was cystic and elements of poor prognosis such as hydrops fetalis and polyhydramnios were present. After verification of the karyotype, abortion was performed and autopsy confirmed prenatal findings and Stocker's type I. Cystic congenital adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a rare form of congenital pulmonary disease. Our case shows that this malformation can be accurately diagnosed during the midtrimester of pregnancy by ultrasound examination. Ultrasound examination permits an evaluation of the three types described by Stocker and may reveal certain lesions associated with poor prognosis, such as anasarca or polyhydramnios. Also, it offers the possibility to save some fetuses by surgical decompression in the immediate postnatal period, or to terminate earlier pregnancies by abortion.

Abstract
Fatty acid synthetase (FAS) is induced by progesterone in MCF7 and T47D breast cancer cell lines. We studied a possible in vivo regulation of expression of this gene by looking for FAS RNA in human endometrial biopsies at various periods of the menstrual cycle, using a cloned cDNA FAS probe. By Northern blot analysis, we detected the 8-kilobase FAS RNA throughout the cycle in 7 uterine samples. RNA in situ hybridization analysis of frozen sections from 22 endometrial biopsies showed that FAS RNA was present during follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle in stromal and epithelial cells. RNA levels were quantified by counting autoradiographic silver grains using a computer-aided image analyzer. FAS RNA levels were significantly higher in epithelial cells than in fibroblasts (P less than 2 x 10(-5]. Furthermore, in both cell types, mean FAS RNA concentrations were higher in biopsies removed during the luteal phase than the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (P = 2 x 10(-3) and 9 x 10(-5), respectively). A 2- to 3-fold increase in FAS RNA levels between days 8-14 and days 22-24 was detected in 2 normal patients who had previously undergone 2 successive biopsies. This increase was not observed in 2 patients with low plasma estradiol and progesterone concentrations, indicating a probable dysovulation. We conclude that FAS normally increases in both stromal and epithelial endometrial cells during the luteal phase. This increase is probably due to progesterone, which implies that FAS is induced in normal endometrium, as demonstrated in breast cancer.

Abstract
We have shown previously that fatty acid synthetase (FAS) is specifically induced by progestins in human breast cancer cell lines. To test the potential value of FAS as a clinical marker in breast diseases, we measured FAS expression in frozen sections of 22 benign and 27 malignant mammary tumors using in situ hybridization with the [35S]UTP alpha S-labeled FAS anti-sense mRNA. The hybridized RNA was quantified with an IMSTAR computerized image analyzer. We found FAS RNA in epithelial cells, but no labeling was detected in the connective tissue. In breast cancer, we found no correlation between FAS expression and estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor concentrations or status. However, the level of FAS was significantly (P less than .02) higher in premenopausal than in post-menopausal patients and increased with the grade of tumor differentiation (P less than .005 between the poorly and well-differentiated tumors). In benign mastopathies, high levels of FAS RNA were found in some cysts (mostly with apocrine metaplasia). In lobules, the FAS RNA level increased proportionally to the degree of proliferation determined by histological examination (P less than .015) and correlated with the H4 histone level measured in an adjacent section using in situ hybridization (r = 0.85, P less than .001). In ductal structures, a lower correlation (r = 0.64, P less than .01) was found between FAS and H4 RNA levels. We conclude that FAS RNA is overexpressed in some mammary tumors and may be useful in predicting high-risk mastopathies and less aggressive breast cancers.

Abstract
Using an immunoenzymatic assay, cathepsin-D concentrations were measured in the cytosol of human endometrium biopsies. The level of cathepsin-D was higher in the luteal phase than in the follicular phase (P less than 0.01), suggesting increased accumulation by progesterone. Induction by progestin was confirmed by immunoprecipitation of cathepsin-D from a lysate of epithelial endometrial cells previously treated in primary culture with R5020 (10 nM); estradiol (10 nM) had no effect. Immunohistochemistry showed that cathepsin-D is mainly localized in the epithelium and that its level is higher in the luteal phase. The plasma level of cathepsin-D was stable during the menstrual cycle, ranging between 2.5-10 pmol/mL, but increased slightly during pregnancy. The mean level of cathepsin-D was higher in 19 endometrial carcinoma than in 20 normal endometrium, but was not correlated with steroid receptor status. However, using 15 pmol/mg protein as a cut-off level, the cathepsin-D status (high or low) was correlated with the degree of myometrial invasion (greater than or equal to one third) by adenocarcinoma cells, whereas steroid receptor status was not. We conclude that cathepsin-D is induced by progesterone in human endometrium, as it is in normal rat uterus, and we suggest that a low concentration of cathepsin-D in the cytosol of endometrial adenocarcinoma may indicate a favorable prognosis, since it is correlated with low myometrial invasion.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical study of 60 cases of rhabdomyosarcomas made it possible to test eight different antibodies currently used in tumour pathology: i.e., antisera to vimentin, desmin, myoglobin, cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, S100 protein, neurofilaments, and leukocyte common antigen. Vimentin was found in 58 cases (97 per cent), desmin in 49 cases (82 per cent), myoglobin in 23 cases (38 per cent), S100 protein in 7 cases (12 per cent), and cytokeratin in 3 cases (5 per cent). Other markers were negative. S100 protein was present in large round tumour cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm (round rhabdomyoblasts), whereas cytokeratin was present in small tumour cells similar to those observed in rhabdoid sarcoma. This unexpected staining should become common knowledge for the correct interpretation of the immunohistochemical study of small cell tumours in the young.

Abstract
A secreted glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 52,000 is induced by estrogen in breast cancer cells and has been purified to prepare monoclonal antibodies. The protein has been detected in some breast cancers but not in normal breast and uterus. In order to study its potential value as a marker, we have tested by immunohistochemistry frozen sections of several normal and malignant tissues and of benign mastopathies. Among different tissues tested, the Mr 52,000 protein was detected only in liver, sweat glands, and some sebaceous glands, and in malignant melanomas and some breast tumors. Other estrogen-responsive tissues (ovary, placenta, endometrium, etc.) gave negative results. Immunoradiometric assay of the Mr 52,000 protein in biological fluid revealed an elevated concentration in cyst fluid (0.5 to 7.4 micrograms/ml), pleural effusions of certain metastatic breast cancer, and sweat. By immunohistochemistry, the Mr 52,000 antigen was also detected in 42% of 129 benign mastopathies. Gynecomastia, fibrous disease, fibroadenoma, and adenosis were mainly negative, whereas ductal hyperplasia and cysts were positive. The Mr 52,000 protein was found mostly in proliferative ducts and in cysts but not in lobular hyperplasia and nonproliferative lesions without cyst. More Mr 52,000 protein was found in postmenopausal patients than in premenopausal patients. We conclude that the Mr 52,000 protein is a marker associated with mammary cysts and proliferative ducts. On the basis of the increased risk of breast cancer in proliferative mastopathies, we suggest that the Mr 52,000 protein is useful for predicting high-risk mastopathies acting as a marker associated with the proliferation of ductal tissue.

The dithiocarbamate group is anisobidentate and the complexes are associated in solution and the solid state via hydrogen bonding. The possible relation of these structural properties to the behavior of DHDC in the treatment of cadmium poisoning is discussed.

Abstract
A 2 month-old infant was admitted because of respiratory distress and thoracic assymetry. X-ray films revealed a distension of the left lung. A pneumo-angiography showed a cardiac silhouette displaced to the right and a normal vascular tree of the left lung. The rapid impairement of the clinical picture led to an exploratory thoracotomy. A tumor at the level of the left hyparterial bronchus was found. The histologic characteristics of the tumor were those of a hemangioma. Within the spectrum of broncheal tumors, hemangioma belong to benign mesenchymatous tumors and have a good prognosis providing that their removal is complete.
