Abstract
We report the investigation to control an Enterobacter cloacae complex outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit from November 2020 to February 2021. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed that five of eight cases were infected with a clonal strain. Breast pumps, shared among mothers in the unit, could have contributed to the spread of the clonal spread.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the measurements of impedance spectroscopy for a new olivine-type lithium deficiency Li0.9□0.1NiV0.5P0.5O4 compound. It was synthesized by the conventional solid-state technique. All the X-ray diffraction peaks of the compound are indexed, and it is found that the sample is well crystallized in orthorhombic olivine structure belonging to the space group Pnma. Conductivity and dielectric analyses of the sample are carried out at different temperatures and frequencies using the complex impedance spectroscopy technique. The electrical conductivity of Li0.9□0.1NiV0.5P0.5O4 is higher than that of parent compound LiNiV0.5P0.5O4. Temperature dependence of the DC conductivity and modulus was found to obey the Arrhenius law. The obtained values of activation energy are different which confirms that transport in the title compound is not due to a simple hopping mechanism. To determine the conduction mechanism, the AC conductivity and its frequency exponent have been analysed in this work by a theoretical model based on quantum mechanical tunnelling: the non-overlapping small polaron tunnelling model.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The class I human leucocyte antigen (HLA) molecules play a critical role as an escape mechanism of antitumoral immunity. HLA-A2 status has been evaluated as a prognostic factor in lung cancer, mostly in localized disease and with inconsistent findings. We evaluated the role of HLA-A2 status as a prognostic factor in a large and homogeneus cohort of advanced NSCLC patients. METHODS Advanced NSCLC patients eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy were consecutively included in a single center between October 2009 and July 2015 in the prospective MSN study (NCT02105168). HLA-A2 status was analysed by flow cytometry. Clinical, pathological and molecular data were collected. A Cox model was used for prognostic analyses. RESULTS Of 545 stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients included, 344 (63%) were male, 466 (85%) were smokers, 447 (83%) had PS 0-1, 508 (93%) had stage IV, 407 (75%) had an adenocarcinoma and median age was 61 years (range, 21-84). Incidence of patients with EGFRmut, ALK-positive and KRASmut was 14% (49/361), 9% (29/333) and 31% (107/350), respectively. The overall rate of HLA-A2 positivity was 48%. No association was observed between HLA-A2 status and any patient or tumor characteristics analyzed. With a median follow-up of 27.1 months, median OS was 12.8 months [95%CI 11.0-14.6] in HLA-A2+ vs. 12.5 months [95%CI 10.4-15.3] in HLA-A2- patients (HR 1.05 [95%CI 0.86-1.29], p=0.61). Median progression-free survival was similar in the two cohorts. CONCLUSION HLA-A2 status was not identified as prognostic for benefit in a large advanced NSCLC population treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Recent advances in lung cancer have identified potential driver mutations that may be targeted. To identify new predictors of response as well as novel targets for therapy, we have initiated a comprehensive large-scale sequencing analysis of genes potentially mutated in NSCLC.
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted prospectively from untreated advanced NSCLCs. All tumors were obtained on IRB-approved protocols and after patients' consent (MSN trial “Melanoma – Small-cell lung cancer – Non-small cell lung cancer”). Pathology specimens were macrodissected in order to obtain more than 30% of tumor cells and, after DNA extraction, 96 selected exons from 30 genes were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. ALK rearrangements were detected by fluorescence in-situ hybridization. All results were discussed monthly in a molecular thoracic multidisciplinary staff. Second or third lines of treatment were adapted to mutation profiling.
Results: Thus far (between 09/01/2010 and 06/01/2011), 82 tumors have been analyzed for AKT, ALK, APC, BRAF, CTNNB1, EGFR, ERBB2, FBXW7, FGFR2-3, GNAQ, GNAS, HRAS, KIT, KRAS, MAP2K1-2, MET, NOTCH1, NRAS, PDGFRA, PI3KCA, PTEN, RET, STK11, TP53, and VHL mutations. The median age was 60 years (range 26–76), 29 (35%) were female, 58 (70%) had adenocarcinoma, 72 (67%) were former/current smokers. Nine patients had incomplete genomic analysis due mostly to insufficient tumor cells in the specimen or poor quality DNA. Median tumor cells ratio was 50%. Mutations were identified in 43/82 (52%) patients (EGFR: 9; KRAS: 10; STK 11: 8; BRAF: 4; MET: 2; PTEN: 2; NRAS: 1; ERBB2: 1; PIK3CA: 1…) of whom 11 had concurrent mutations. EGFR and KRAS mutations were mutually exclusive. No mutations were identified among 5 never smokers analyzed. The median time to complete testing for this initial phase was 30 days. Half of patients with genomic alterations were treated with molecularly targeted therapy based on their genetic alteration.
Conclusions: Mutational profiling of NSCLC is feasible, can distinguish relevant molecular subsets of lung cancer, and may present an impact on treatment at our cancer institute. Furthers sequencing are in progress and updated results will be presented in January 2012.

Abstract
Background There are no specific recommendations for the management of breast cancer patients with germ-line p53 mutations, an exceptional genetic condition, particularly regarding postoperative radiotherapy. Preclinical data suggested that p53 mutations conferred enhanced radiosensitivity in vitro and in vivo and the few clinical observations showed that Li-Fraumeni families were at a higher risk of secondary radio-induced malignancies. Methods We reviewed a cohort of patients with germ-line p53 mutations who had been treated for breast cancer as the first tumor event. We assessed their outcome and the incidence of secondary radio-induced malignancies. Results Among 47 documented Li-Fraumeni families treated from 1997 to 2007 at the Institut Gustave Roussy, 8 patients had been diagnosed with breast cancer as the first tumor event. Three patients had undergone conservative breast surgery followed by postoperative radiotherapy and five patients had undergone a mastectomy (3 with postoperative radiotherapy). Thus, 6/8 patients had received postoperative radiotherapy. Median follow-up was 6 years. Median age at the diagnosis of the primary breast cancer was 30 years. The histological characteristics were as follows: intraductal carcinoma in situ (n = 3), invasive ductal carcinoma (n = 4) and a phyllodes tumor (n = 1). Among the 6 patients who had received adjuvant radiotherapy, the following events had occurred: 3 ipsilateral breast recurrences, 3 contralateral breast cancers, 2 radio-induced cancers, and 3 new primaries (1 of which was an in-field thyroid cancer with atypical histology). In contrast, only one event had occurred (a contralateral breast cancer) among patients who had not received radiation therapy. Conclusions These observations could argue in favor of bilateral mastectomy and the avoidance of radiotherapy.

Abstract
11043 Background: The management of breast cancer (BC) patients (pts) with germline p53 mutations, a rare genetic condition, is not the object of specific recommendations. Preclinical data and preliminary clinical observations suggest a theoretically major radio-sensitivity and high risk of secondary radio-induced malignancies. It remains discussed whether the knowledge of a germline p53 mutation may influence treatment (trt) choices and have prognostic importance. We reviewed our cohort of BC diagnosed as first tumor in pts with germline p53 mutations within the past 11 years, with an attempt to describe secondary malignancies occurring after trt of primary tumor. Patients and Methods: 9 pts have been diagnosed and treated in our institution within the past 11 years for BC as first tumor in the context of a documented germline p53 mutation. Their tumor characteristics, treatment and follow-up data were extracted from prospectively-registered medical records. Results: Median age at diagnosis of primary BC was 32 (22–48). 7/9 pts had a family history compatible with Li Fraumeni syndrome, while 2 had no family history. No pt had previous knowledge of her p53 mutation. Primary tumors were ductal carcinoma in situ (4), infiltrating ductal carcinoma (4), phyllode tumor (1). 3 pts had conservative surgery and 6/9 underwent mastectomy (M). 6 received loco-regional radiation therapy (RT). None had prophylactic contra lateral mastectomy. Loco-regional (LRR) and contra-lateral relapses are listed in the Table , as well as incidence of second primaries within or outside radiation field. Second primaries were sarcoma in 3/4 cases and 1 was papillary thyroid carcinoma. Conclusions: Because of high risk of second breast primary and probably very high risk of radio-induced breast cancer, BC pts with germline p53 mutations should be advised bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and avoidance of radiation therapy. In this context, the knowledge of the mutation might be of great importance. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Fitness improvement was used to compare morning with afternoon exercise periods for asthmatic children. Children with persistent moderate asthma (according to GINA criteria), 8 to 11 years old, were divided into 3 groups: morning training group (N = 23), afternoon training group (N = 23), and non-training group (N = 23). The program was based on twice a week 90-min sessions for 4 months. We measured the 9-min running distance, resting heart rate and abdominal muscle strength (sit-up number) before and after the training. All children took budesonide, 400 microg/day, and an on demand inhaled ss-agonist. The distance covered in 9 min increased (mean +/- SEM) from 1344 +/- 30 m by 248 +/- 30 m for the morning group, from 1327 +/- 30 m by 162 +/- 20 m for the afternoon group, and from 1310 +/- 20 m by 2 +/- 20 m for the control group (P < 0.05 for the comparison of morning and afternoon groups with the control group by ANOVA and P > 0.05 for morning with afternoon comparison). The reduction of resting heart rate from 83 +/- 1, 85 +/- 2 and 86 +/- 1 bpm was 5.1 +/- 0.8 bpm in the morning group, 4.4 +/- 0.8 bpm in the afternoon group, and -0.2 +/- 0.7 bpm in the control group (P > 0.05 for morning with afternoon comparison and P < 0.05 versus control). The number of sit-ups in the morning, afternoon and control groups increased from 22.0 +/- 1.7, 24.3 +/- 1.4 and 23 +/- 1.1 sit-ups by 9.8 +/- 0.9, 7.7 +/- 1.4, and 1.9 +/- 0.7 sit-ups, respectively (P > 0.05 for morning with afternoon comparison and P < 0.05 versus control). No statistically significant differences were detected between the morning and afternoon groups in terms of physical training of asthmatic children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe our experience with the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and outcome of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) adenitis of the head and neck in children, and to present a preliminary report about the use of NTM skin tests in our institution. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS The medical records of all children diagnosed with cervicofacial NTM adenitis were retrospectively reviewed for the period from January 1, 1995, through December 31, 2000. We also examined the use of intradermal skin tests for the diagnosis of NTM infection. RESULTS Fifty patients were diagnosed with NTM cervicofacial adenitis. Pertinent demographic information, clinical presentation, investigation, and type of diagnostic procedures were documented. Surgical procedures, complications, and relapses were also noted. One unusual case of retropharyngeal adenitis is illustrated. All patients were treated with complete excision of their lesion at the first operation. No major complications were noted. Only one patient relapsed and required a second operation. Forty-one children were skin-tested with NTM antigens. Of these, 30 patients were dual-tested with Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) also. No adverse reactions were noted with the use of skin tests. Sensitivity of NTM antigens alone is 87%. Sensitivity of dual testing is 78%. No patient had a PPD-dominant reaction. CONCLUSION Surgical excision is the treatment of choice of NTM adenitis because of the high cure rate with a single procedure, the excellent cosmetic result, and the low complication rate. NTM skin tests are safe and could be useful in early diagnosis of the infection but further investigation is needed.

Abstract
Mitomycin C (MMC) is an antineoplastic agent with an antiproliferative effect on fibroblasts. It is routinely used topically in ophthalmology. The goal of this research project is to evaluate if topically applied MMC at the site of a maxillary antrostomy will inhibit the healing process of the mucosa and reduce the risk of postoperative stenosis. Antrostomies were carried out in both maxillary sinuses of 10 rabbits. For each rabbit, MMC is applied at the site of the antrostomy on one side while the other side serves as control. Antrostomies are re-evaluated 3 weeks later and their areas measured precisely. Seven of 10 control antrostomies were closed compared to only 1 of the 10 treated with MMC (p = .014). Comparison of the areas of the control and treated sides also proved to be statistically significant (p = .0039). Topical application of MMC was not associated with any systemic side effects and did not cause any permanent microscopic changes since the mucosa re-epithelialized normally. These results suggest that MMC slows the postoperative healing process of the nasal mucosa of the rabbit without affecting re-epithelialization. This could allow antrostomies to heal with a wider diameter, decreasing the risk of postoperative stenosis. Our next step will be to reproduce these results following functional endoscopic surgery on humans.

Abstract
Fifty unselected subjects living in Alpes-Maritimes, France, a high risk area for visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum, were examined simultaneously by the leishmanin skin test and the Western blot technique in 1993; 32% and 38%, respectively, gave a positive reaction. The concordance of the 2 methods was 82%. Thus, in this high risk area, a large proportion of inhabitants had been exposed to the parasite. The use of these 2 tests should permit the detection of potential cases of reactivated leishmaniasis in prospective follow-up investigations.

Abstract
Twenty patients selected as probable dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) have been examined two times during a mean follow-up period of 14.5 months. Two groups have been distinguished at the end of this period: a cognitively impaired one and a stable one. EEG features at T1, at T2 or the difference T1-T2 does not allow an accurate and predictive discrimination between the two groups. But we cannot conclude that EEG is useless for prediction of the rate of progression of the disease in DAT because most of the cognitively stable patients are also stable for mean frequency. So mean frequency could be an interesting marker of evolutivity but this to be tested with more patients including more subjects reaching the severe stage of dementia.
