1Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1/growth differentiation factor-15 in premalignant and neoplastic tumours in a high-risk pancreatic cancer cohort显示文摘BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer(PC)is a leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide,with poor survival due to late diagnosis.Currently,biomarkers have limited use in early diagnosis of PC.Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 or growth differentiation factor-15(MIC-1/GDF15)has been implicated as a potential serum biomarker in PC and other malignancies.AIM To determine the role of MIC-1/GDF15 in detecting pre-malignant pancreatic lesions and neoplastic tumours in an asymptomatic high-risk cohort part of Australian Pancreatic Cancer Screening Program.METHODS A feasibility prospective single centre cohort study was performed.Participants recruited for yearly surveillance with endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)had serial fasting blood samples collected before EUS for MIC-1/GDF15,C-reactive protein and carbohydrate antigen 19-9.Patients were stratified into five groups based on EUS findings:Normal;pancreatic cysts,branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm;diffuse non-specific abnormalities;and neoplastic tumours.MIC-1/GDF15 serum levels were quantified using ELISA.Participants in whom EUS demonstrated abnormalities but not malignancy were closely followed up with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)or computed tomography.RESULTS One hundred twenty participants were prospectively recruited from 2011-2018.Forty-seven participants(39.2%)had an abnormal EUS and five participants(4.2%)were diagnosed with neoplastic tumours,three by EUS(two pancreatic and one liver)and two by MRI/computed tomography(breast cancer,bladder cancer),which were performed for follow up of abnormal EUS.Baseline serum MIC-1/GDF15 was a significant predictor of neoplastic tumours on receiver operator characteristic curve analysis[area under curve(AUC)=0.814,P=0.023].Baseline serum MIC-1/GDF15 had moderate predictive capacity for branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(AUC=0.644)and neoplastic tumours noted on EUS(AUC=0.793),however this was not significant(P=0.188 and 0.081 respectively).Serial serum MIC-1/GDF15 did not demonstrate a significant percentage change between a normal and abnormal EUS(P=0.213).Median baseline MIC-1/GDF15 was greater in those with neoplastic tumours(Median=1039.6,interquartile range=727.0-1977.7)compared to those diagnosed with a benign lesion(Median=570.1,interquartile range=460.7-865.2)on EUS and MRI(P=0.012).CONCLUSION In this pilot study MIC-1/GDF15 has predictive capacity for neoplastic tumours in asymptomatic individuals with a genetic predisposition for PC.Further imagining may be warranted in patients with abnormal EUS and raised serum MIC-1/GDF15.Larger multicentric prospective studies are required to further define the role of MIC-1/GDF15 as a serological biomarker in pre-malignant pancreatic lesions and neoplastic tumours.Robert Sean O’Neill Sam Emmanuel David Williams Alina Stoita 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,14:8
2The Changing Cold Regions Network:Observation,diagnosis and prediction of environmental change in the Saskatchewan and Mackenzie River Basins,Canada显示文摘Climate change is causing rapid and severe changes to many Earth systems and processes,with widespread cryospheric,ecological,and hydrological impacts globally,and especially in high northern latitudes.This is of major societal concern and there is an urgent need for improved understanding and predictive tools for environmental management.The Changing Cold Regions Network(CCRN)is a Canadian research consortium with a focus to integrate existing and new experimental data with modelling and remote sensing products to understand,diagnose,and predict changing land,water,and climate,and their interactions and feedbacks over the geographic domain of the Mackenzie and Saskatchewan River Basins in Canada.The network operates a set of 14 unique and focused Water,Ecosystem,Cryosphere and Climate(WECC)observatories within this region,which provide opportunities to observe and understand processes and their interaction,as well as develop and test numerical simulation models,and provide validation data for remote sensing products.This paper describes this network and its observational,experimental,and modelling programme.An overview of many of the recent Earth system changes observed across the study region is provided,and some local insights from WECC observatories that may partly explain regional patterns and trends are described.Several of the model products being developed are discussed,and linkages with the local to international user community are reviewed—In particular,the use of WECC data towards model and remote sensing product calibration and validation is highlighted.Some future activities and prospects for the network are also presented at the end of the paper.Chris M DEBEER Howard S WHEATER William L QUINTON Sean K CAREY Ronald E STEWART Murray D MACKAY Philip MARSH 2015Science China Earth Sciences2015,58,1:5

4Complete eradication of hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer by Yttrium-90 SIRT显示文摘Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization,also known as selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT),is a regional hepatic therapy used in the treatment of unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases. In SIRT,Y-90 impregnated microspheres are injected into the VASCULAR SUPPLY of hepatic tumor,leading to selective irradiation and necrosis of tumor TISSUE. While several studies demonstrate improved local control and survival with SIRT,the specific indications for this therapy have yet to be defined. Typically,SIRT is given in combination with chemotherapy as multimodal treatment for unresectable hepatic CRC. However,it HAS ALSO FOUND INCREASING USE as a salvage therapy in chemo-refractory patients. Herein,the authors describe their experience with SIRT as 'stand alone' therapy in a surgically-prohibitive,chemotherapy naive patient with hepatic CRC metastasis. The results suggest that Y-90 SIRT may have potential applications beyond its usual role as a palliative or salvage therapy for unresectable hepatic CRC.Sean Garrean Amanda Muhs James T Bui Michael J Blend Charles Owens William S Helton Nocif J Espat 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,21:4
