Glutamate Ionotropic Receptor Kainate Type Subunit 3 (GRIK3) promotes epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells by regulating SPDEF/CDH1 signaling
AbstractGlutamate Ionotropic Receptor Kainate Type Subunit 3 (GRIK3) is an important excitatory neurotransmitter receptor that plays a significant role in various neurodegenerative diseases. However, the biological functions of GRIK3 in malignancies are largely unknown because of limited related studies. Here, we primarily reported that the expression of GRIK3 was higher in breast cancer tissues than in adjacent noncancerous tissues. GRIK3 expression was also positively correlated with the...

Hyperammonemia after capecitabine associated with occult impairment of the urea cycle
This paper describes a patient with hyperammonemia and delirium induced by capecitabine chemotherapy. Capecitabine and 5‐fluorouracil potentially induce hyperammonemia by inhibiting pyrimidine biosynthesis and thus decreasing ammonia utilization. The patient had risk factors for 5‐fluorouracil‐induced hyperammonemia, including genetic susceptibility and occult liver dysfunction, which are not rare.AbstractBackgroundCancer patients receiving chemotherapy often complain of "chemobrain" or...

Can acetylcysteine ameliorate cisplatin‐induced toxicities and oxidative stress without decreasing antitumor efficacy? A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial involving patients with head and neck cancer
The use of antioxidants, such as acetylcysteine, in patients receiving chemotherapy is currently a hot topic in the literature. There are no studies in humans to verify the effect of acetylcysteine on toxicity, oxidative stress, and clinical response to cisplatin. This is the first randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial to investigate this issue.AbstractThe protective antioxidant activity of acetylcysteine (NAC) against toxicity due to cisplatin has been reported in experimental...

Application of Artificial Intelligence for Preoperative Diagnostic and Prognostic Prediction in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Based on Blood Biomarkers
Purpose: We aimed to develop an ovarian cancer–specific predictive framework for clinical stage, histotype, residual tumor burden, and prognosis using machine learning methods based on multiple biomarkers.Experimental Design: Overall, 334 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and 101 patients with benign ovarian tumors were randomly assigned to "training" and "test" cohorts. Seven supervised machine learning classifiers, including Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Support Vector Machine, Random...

Characterization of pediatric hepatocellular carcinoma reveals genomic heterogeneity and diverse signaling pathway activation
AbstractBackgroundPediatric hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare liver tumor in children with a poor prognosis. Comprehensive molecular profiling to understand the underlying genomic drivers of this tumor has not been completed, and it is unclear whether nonfibrolamellar pediatric HCC is more genomically similar to hepatoblastoma or adult HCC.ProcedureTo characterize the molecular landscape of these tumors, we analyzed a cohort of 15 pediatric non‐FL‐HCCs by sequencing a panel of cancer‐associated...

Pediatric ovarian angiosarcoma treated with systemic chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy: Case report and review of therapy
AbstractOvarian angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive vascular tumor, which has a 5‐year overall survival of less than 30% for patients with nonmetastatic disease and almost certain death within 1 year for those with metastasis. Here, we briefly review historical approaches to therapy and present a long‐term survivor in the case of an 11‐year‐old female with metastatic ovarian angiosarcoma. This is the second reported case to utilize heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of...

Evaluation of pediatric glioma outcomes using intraoperative MRI: a multicenter cohort study
Abstract Background The use of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) during treatment of gliomas may increase extent of resection (EOR), decrease need for early reoperation, and increase progression-free and overall survival, but has not been fully validated, particularly in the pediatric population. Objective To assess the accuracy of iMRI to identify residual tumor...

European Society of Paediatric Radiology Computed Tomography and Dose Task Force: European guidelines on diagnostic reference levels for paediatric imaging
Abstract The recent European Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM requires the establishment of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) to optimise radiation dose in diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures. At the time this directive was enacted, just a few European countries had already set paediatric DRLs and many of these were outdated. For this reason, the European Commission launched a project addressing European Guidelines on Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric...

Abstract Postmortem CT for investigating childhood deaths is increasingly utilised as a noninvasive adjunct or alternative to standard autopsy; however there are no standardised published imaging protocols. This article describes a standardised imaging protocol that has been developed based on current practices of international postmortem imaging practitioners and experts. This recommendation is expected to be useful for postmortem imaging centres wishing to update their existing...

Abstract The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic seems largely controlled by anti-retroviral treatment with resultant large numbers of children growing up with the disease on long-term treatment, placing them at higher risk to develop HIV-related brain injury, ongoing cognitive impairment and treatment-related neurological complications. Cerebral white matter involvement is a common radiologic finding in HIV infection and the causes of this have overlapping appearances,...
