Abstract
Increased microvessel density (MVD) values in breast cancer correlate with tumor growth and progression while mammaglobin (MGB) expression in tumor cells is associated with a favorable prognosis. We aim to evaluate and correlate MVD values with MGB expression in molecular types of breast cancer specimens and to determine their utility as prognostic biological markers. A number of 52 breast cancer specimens were included in the study. Specimens were processed for routine histopathological diagnosis followed by the molecular classification by means of estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) and HER2 immunohistochemical reactions. After performing immunohistochemistry for CD34 and MGB, MVD evaluation was made using the �hot spot� method for each case and MGB was scored between 0 (negative) and +3 (strong positive) depending on the intensity and distribution of the staining. MGB expression in tumor cells and MVD mean values were extremely variable. The greatest MVD mean values were obtained in luminal B followed by HER2, luminal A and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) (95.33, 69, 62, and 40, respectively). MGB expression in the tumor cells generally ranged from mild to weak and was strong only in a few invasive ductal carcinoma cases. In cases with TNBCs the expression of MGB in tumor cells was weak and focal or negative. This variability was noticed between the molecular types of breast cancers and even within the same molecular type. In a restricted number of cases, MGB positive tumors were associated with low MVD values while the negative cases were characterized by increased MVD mean values. The variable results we obtained regarding the correlation between MVD and MGB in breast cancer specimens may indicate a rather restricted use of MVD/MGB in estimating breast cancer patients� prognosis.

Abstract
Acute and chronic exposure to lead induces oxidative damage and morphologic and physiological changes in tissues and organs. The aims of this study were to determine the concentration of heavy metals like Zn, Al, Li, Cu and Pb in different organs and to identify histopathological changes in the liver and kidneys of laboratory animals in case of chronic lead intoxication. In most cases, the heavy metal concentrations analyzed in the control group organs are significantly lower than the values determined in the organs in the experimental groups. High Pb concentration caused increased liver and kidney damage.

Abstract
The best timing of cholecystectomy on patients with acute gallbladder pathology is still unclearly defined. Some studies have reported that cholecystectomy during the index acute admission presents an increased morbidity rate, extended duration of stay and increased costs. The study below is aiming at finding the most accurate moment to practice the surgery when acute cholecystitis is confirmed. Consequently, 368 patients admitted to hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 with the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis (AC) who underwent cholecystectomy in the 2nd Department of Surgery, Emergency County Hospital, Timi�oara, Romania constituted the two lots. The cases were retrospectively identified, introduced into the database and the data were subsequently analyzed according to various parameters. The study results reveal that laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the first 24 hours is safe procedure on the majority of the cases. Also, our findings sustain that emergency cholecystectomy can reduce the length of hospital stay, having similar rates of conversion to open surgery, complications and outcome compared with a delayed operation.

Decreased sEng plasma levels in hypertensive patients with endothelial dysfunction under chronic treatment with Perindopril. DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2019; 13:1915-1925. [PMID: 31239642 PMCID: PMC6556213 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s186378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2018] [Accepted: 03/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Purpose: Endoglin is a transmembrane glycoprotein which plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. One of its forms, soluble endoglin (sEng), a molecule with antiangiogenic properties, has been found overexpressed in patients suffering from hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and is proposed as a marker of endothelial damage. Accordingly, we aimed to quantify the efficacy of various antihypertensive regimens on sEng levels, in hypertensive patients with endothelial dysfunction. Patients and methods: 323 patients were enrolled, and there were 99 patients with normal blood pressure values, 106 hypertensive patients under chronic treatment with different types of antihypertensive molecules (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics) in monotherapy, and 118 hypertensive patients under chronic treatment with perindopril. sEng plasma levels were quantified and were correlated with classical methods of assessing the endothelial damage. Results: Patients under chronic treatment with perindopril had lower sEng plasma levels compared with the other group of hypertensive patients under different regimens of antihypertensive treatment (sEng: 4.73±1.39 versus 5.63±2.33, p<0.01). Conclusion: Decreased sEng plasma levels were found in patients under chronic treatment with perindopril, when compared with other antihypertensive regimens of treatment (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and/or diuretics).

Abstract
The present study was aimed to evaluate the confluence percentage of three oral cell lines, namely primary gingival keratinocytes (PGK), primary gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC-4). All cells have been monitored at different passages for 21 days. Evaluation of confluence percentage reveals the fact that primary gingival keratinocytes and tongue squamous cell carcinoma at small passages requires a period of about two weeks to reach a confluence of approximately 80% while for the gingival fibroblasts a period of about three times smaller is satisfactory.

Abstract
Osseointegration of a dental implant may encounter a variety of problems caused by various factors, as prior health-related problems, patients� habits and the technique of the implant inserting. Retrospective cohort study of 70 patients who received implants between January 2011- April 2016 in one dental unit, with Kaplan-Meier method to calculate the probability of implants�s survival at 60 months. The analysis included demographic data, age, gender, medical history, behavior risk factors, type and location of the implant. For this cohort the implants�survival for the first 6 months was 92.86% compared to the number of patients and 97.56% compared to the number of total implants performed, with a cumulative failure rate of 2.43% after 60 months. Failures were focused exclusively on posterior mandible implants, on the percentage of 6.17%, odds ratio (OR) for these failures being 16.76 (P = 0.05) compared with other localisations of implants, exclusively in men with median age of 42 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in tumor development. Although microvessel density (MVD) is the most common method used for evaluation of angiogenesis, it has several limitations. Our aim was to evaluate MVD and microvessel proliferation (MVP) in a series of invasive breast carcinomas and analyze whether angiogenesis is influenced by the molecular phenotype of each tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined vascular proliferation using double immunohistochemistry (CD34/Ki67) in a series of 54 invasive breast carcinomas and compared the results with standard MVD, molecular subtypes and other classical parameters. RESULTS Increased MVD and MVP values were recorded in basal-like subtype, but only the MVP value reached significance among this group of patients (p=0.0001). For all cases combined, increased MVP was significantly correlated with negative estrogen receptor (ER) status (p=0.010) and higher histological grade (p=0.002). CONCLUSION MVP more accurately reflects the state of angiogenesis in breast cancer, compared with standard MVD. Vascular proliferation was associated with aggressive tumor features, indicating its contribution to tumor progression. The strong association between vascular proliferation and basal-like tumors suggests that this marker can be used for stratification of patients who might benefit from therapies targeting angiogenesis.

Molecular Portrait of the Normal Human Breast Tissue and Its Influence on Breast Carcinogenesis. J Breast Cancer 2016; 19:99-111.

Abstract
Normal human breast tissue consists of epithelial and nonepithelial cells with different molecular profiles and differentiation grades. This molecular heterogeneity is known to yield abnormal clones that may contribute to the development of breast carcinomas. Stem cells that are found in developing and mature breast tissue are either positive or negative for cytokeratin 19 depending on their subtype. These cells are able to generate carcinogenesis along with mature cells. However, scientific data remains controversial regarding the monoclonal or polyclonal origin of breast carcinomas. The majority of breast carcinomas originate from epithelial cells that normally express BRCA1. The consecutive loss of the BRCA1 gene leads to various abnormalities in epithelial cells. Normal breast epithelial cells also express hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) 1α and HIF-2α that are associated with a high metastatic rate and a poor prognosis for malignant lesions. The nuclear expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in normal human breast tissue is maintained in malignant tissue as well. Several controversies regarding the ability of ER and PR status to predict breast cancer outcome remain. Both ER and PR act as modulators of cell activity in normal human breast tissue. Ki-67 positivity is strongly correlated with tumor grade although its specific role in applied therapy requires further studies. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncoprotein is less expressed in normal human breast specimens but is highly expressed in certain malignant lesions of the breast. Unlike HER2, epidermal growth factor receptor expression is similar in both normal and malignant tissues. Molecular heterogeneity is not only found in breast carcinomas but also in normal breast tissue. Therefore, the molecular mapping of normal human breast tissue might represent a key research area to fully elucidate the mechanisms of breast carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scattered studies report on controversial results concerning evaluation of primary breast tumors and their matched lymph node metastases. Aim. To investigate the molecular profile of primary breast tumors and corresponding lymph node metastases (LNM) based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epiderma growth factor receptor-2 (HER2 protein). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-six primary tumors and corresponding axillary lymph node metastases were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for ER, PR and HER2 protein. According to these markers, cases were stratified as Luminal A, B, HER2 subtypes and triple-negative. Results. Thirteen out of 66 cases (19.7%) exhibited different tumor cell phenotypes in nodal metastases compared to primary breast tumors. All cases with hybrid phenotype had metastases with a pure HER2 phenotype. The most frequent switching was observed from luminal A to luminal B phenotype. CONCLUSION The high rate of discrepancy between primary tumor and nodal metastasis phenotype imposes the need for a comparative assessment of both primary tumor and nodal metastasis before any therapeutic decision, in order to avoid recurrence and to improve patient prognosis and overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic recurrence following conventional rectal resection for cancer is common. Preoperative iradiation has been shown in prospective randomized studies to halve this risk. AIM This multiinstitutional study aimed to assess the necesity of total mesorectal excision in rectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHOD Pathological resections from 50 consecutive patients with adenocarcinoma of the rectum within 12 cm of the anal verge who underwent currative resection incorporating total mesorectal excision were examined. The resection specimen was examined by one of two pathologists. Some 50 total mesorectal excision specimens were examined following rectal excision for cancer. Some 38 had total mesorectal excision as a component of a low anterior resection and 12 with abdomino-perineal resection. "Cure" was defined as absence of metastatic disease and the excision of entire macroscopic tumor tissue with negative proximal and distal borders. TME was performed as described by Heald et al. The mesorectum was evaluated for lymph nodes and tumor deposists in three areas: deep to the tumor, in the proximal mesorectum and in the distal mesorectum. RESULTS Six patients had Dukes A lesions. Of 21 patients with Dukes B tumors, five had discrete foci of adenocarcinoma in the mesorectum, with no evidence of lymph node metastasis. Dukes C lesions were more heterogeneous, but 12 out of 23 patients had distinct mesorectal deposists in addition to mesorectal node involvement. Circumferential margin involvement was rare, but mesorectal tumor deposits were present in 17 of 44 patients with pT3 tumors, and 23 of 44 had mesorectal nodal involvement. No patient with a pT2 tumor had mesorectal involvement. Failure to excise the mesorectum completely has the potential to leave gross or microscopic residual disease that may in theory predispose to local failure. CONCLUSION Total mesorectal excision is necessary to avoid incomplete pathological evaluation of the mesorectum and understaging of rectal cancer.

Preoperative ultrasonography as a mean of predicting the conversion of mini cholecystectomy into classic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cholecystectomy is considered to be the treatment of choice in symptomatic biliary lithiasis. Lately, due to medical progress, classic cholecystectomy has been gradually replaced by laparoscopic cholecystectomy and by mini cholecystectomy. Therefore, it is very important to determine certain preoperative factors which might predict the conversion of mini cholecystectomy (MC) into classic cholecystectomy (CC). MATERIAL AND METHOD The possibility of selecting high-risk conversion patients has important clinical implications, both for the surgeon and for the patient. Differentiating preoperative risk allows the surgeon to inform the patient about a high conversion risk to CC, and about the ensuing consequences: longer hospitalization period, longer postoperative recovery, greater costs. All the patients were examined by ultrasonography. The tests recorded six parameters: the diameter of the biliary duct (mm), the number of calculi, the diameter of the largest calculus (mm), the contracted aspect of the gallbladder, the distance between the tegument and the gallbladder fundus (cm), the distance between the tegument and the cystic duct (cm). All the variables were introduced into an initial model, which was checked using the colinearity method and significant observations, and subsequently reduced by eliminating insignificant predictive factors, revealed by Wald tests. RESULTS The significant predictive conversion factors to CC, quantified on the basis of regression analysis, are: age > 70, calculus with a diameter > 20 mm, biliary duct with a diameter > 6 mm, contracted gallbladder, distance between the tegument and gallbladder fundus > 7.2 cm, distance between the tegument and cystic duct > 17.1 cm. CONCLUSION Being a procedure that can be carried out on an outpatient basis and with rather low costs, ultrasonography plays a very important role in the preoperative prediction of converting MC to CC.

Abstract
The authors became interested in the lymphatic drainage of the stomach in order to attempt to determine for each region the type of drainage and the risk of cancer spread. They studied 50 dissection, including the stomach, 115 cases records of gastric carcinoma, 8 lymphographies by ultrafluid lipiodal, and 48 preoperative injections of vital colorant. The system of drainage proposed by Rouvière was on the whole confirmed; however, one should emphasize the doubling of the hepatic chain, the existence of long collectors which bypass a relay in the left gastric artery, the importance of the posterior gastric artery which transmits the lymphatic of the splenic chain. Finally, the authors emphasize the existence of 3 longitudinal areas on the stomach where the presence or absence of valvules in the subserous collectors orients the lymph towards the lesser or greater curvature of the stomach, which easily explains the onset of isolated carcinomatous adenopathy, situated on the curvature opposite the neoplasm.

Abstract
Diagnosis of a deep visceral lesion in an adult following abdominal contusion is almost always difficult as the abdominal signs are later or masked by associated lesions. All of the controlled studies agree on the superiority of peritoneal puncture-lavage over metrosonography or CT scan in the diagnosis of homeoperitoneu. The diagnostic performance of CT, TDM in the identification of lesions solid organs is very much better that that of ultrasonography. The diagnosis of an isolated lesion of a hallow viscus benefited from progress in imaging to a much lesser degree an peritoneal puncture lavage with leucocyte count remains the key examination. The diagnostic strategy must be based on the patient's clinical condition and on this hierarchy of complementary investigations.

Abstract
Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction is a clinical condition with the symptoms, signs and radiological appearances of acute large bowel obstruction but without any apparent mechanical cause. The mortality rate for patients undergoing surgery was 57%. The incidence of caecal-perforation was 1 for 7 patients. The pathogenesis of the syndrome is unknown but in more then 80% of cases many conditions that have been associated with this syndrome. The efficacy of prepulsid agents for the treatment of syndrome remains to be assessed in a controlled study. In our patients clinical observation, radiologic studies and direct observation during several hours of surgery had shown a complete lack of propulsive motility within of the large bowel. This can be related to the ganglionitis and later to the aganglionosis of the mesenteric plexus.

Abstract
The high mortality rate in hepatic trauma is a concern for the surgeons on duty, who most know the physiopathological problems and the decisions needed in view of both hepatic and extrahepatic injures. The mortality rate from liver trauma has fallen from 60% at the beginning of this century, blunt trauma to the abdomen from accidents, is responsible for 80-90% of all liver injures in Europe. The severity of liver injuries in 268 patients in a prospective study (1978-1998), were treated according to a defined protocol. Non operative management was used in first day, for those who were haemodynamically stable on admission. In unstable patients who proceeded to surgery, under optimal condition the mortality rate was 34.3%. Death in patients with multiple injures should only rarely result from liver trauma. 92 patients with minor injures (grade I-II) were treated by simple suture, with mortality rate of 6%. 116 patients (43%) sustained complex hepatic injures (grade III to V); 64 patients with grade III (23%), 36 with grade IV (13%). 16 Patients (5%) grade V, injury under went finger fracture of hepatic parenchyma alone 36. The mortality rate in this group was 18% (III), 36% (IV). 16 patients with grad V injury were managed with 68% mortality rate. Juxtahepatic veins and retrohepatic V.C.I. injury continue to carry a prohibitive mortality rate (90-100%).

Abstract
Between 1973 and 1979 the authors have performed 126 interventions, as follows: 27 hernias (18 of the inguinal type and 9 umbilical ones), and 99 eventration. They used alloplastic materials for consolidation or substitution of the musculo-aponevrotic wall of mediocre quality. In practice the "Mersilene" alloplastic material was used, made of dacron fibers, which provides a series of advantages: good tolerance, efficient sterilisation without undergoing degradation, possibility for use in reparation of large wall defects, high resistance. The net was applied for consolidation purposes in most of the cases (111 in all), and was placed either above the aponevrosis, or pre- or intra-peritoneally. In 15 patients it was used for substitution, when eventration resulted in a large muscular-aponevrotic defect. The results were very good, and a single recidive was noted, as well as two partial rejections, that did not however result in recidives.
