    Abstract Background: The epidemiology of adenomyosis has been traditionally based on patients undergoing hysterectomy for gynecological indications, while its prevalence among hysterectomies performed for obstetric complications is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and clinical impact of adenomyosis diagnosed through histology among women undergoing pregnancy-related hysterectomy (PH).
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Women who delivered at a tertiary care regional obstetric hub in Milan between 2009 and 2020 were reviewed to identify cases of PH. Histopathological reports of surgical specimens were examined. Cases with adenomyosis were compared to those without adenomyosis for baseline characteristics, obstetric history and outcomes.
    Results: During the study period there were 71,061 births and a total of 130 PH, giving a PH incidence of 1.83 per 1000 deliveries. Adenomyosis cases were 18, giving a prevalence of 13.8%. Adenomyosis was associated with placenta previa (77.8 vs. 45.5%,
    Conclusion: Adenomyosis entails a relevant impact on obstetric and perinatal outcomes related to PH. More evidence is needed on the clinical relevance of an ultrasonographic diagnosis of adenomyosis before conception.

    Abstract Background: Perioperative chemotherapy (CT) is an established therapeutic approach for patients diagnosed with stage IB-III gastric cancer (GC).
    Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of this approach in individuals with GC exhibiting high microsatellite instability (MSI-H).
    Design: A systematic review was conducted, including studies that provided data on (neo)adjuvant CT outcomes in patients with MSI-H GC.
    Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Central of Controlled Trials, and Embase databases. Data were aggregated using hazard ratios (HRs) to compare overall survival between CT and surgery.
    Results: Data analysis from 23 studies, including 22,011 patients, revealed that the prevalence of MSI-H is 9.8%. Administration of adjuvant or perioperative CT did not significantly reduce the risk of death or relapse in patients with MSI-H GC (HR = 0.8, 95% CI 0.54-1.16;
    Conclusion: Chemotherapy did not benefit patients diagnosed with MSI-H nonmetastatic GC but rather will be integrated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the near future.

    Abstract Introduction: Mutations in the BRAF gene (BRAFmut) are associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with liver metastases and the potential benefits of liver resection in patients with BRAFmut CRC.
    Material and methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central Controlled Trials, and Embase databases was conducted on May 31, 2023. The inclusion criteria were as follows:1) reporting of outcomes in patients with BRAFmut CRC who underwent surgery for liver metastases and/or comparison of outcomes between those who underwent and those who did not undergo resection; 2) reporting of survival information as hazard ratios (HR); and 3) publication in English.
    Results: 34 studies were included. Median follow up was 48 months for prognostic BRAF status meta-analysis. BRAFmut status showed a significantly increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.04-3.22; P < 0.01) and relapse (HR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.44-2.71; P < 0.01). Resection of liver metastases was associated with a survival benefit (median follow up 46 months). The HR for survival was 0.44 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33-0.59; P < 0.01) in favor of surgery.
    Conclusions: and Relevance: Our analysis indeed confirms that BRAF mutation is associated with poor survival outcomes after liver resection of CRC metastases. However, upon quantitatively assessing the survival benefit of surgical intervention in patients with BRAF-mutated CRC liver metastases, we identified a significant 56% reduction in the risk of death.

    Abstract Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare neoplasms with heterogeneous clinical behavior. Alteration in human microbiota was reported in association with carcinogenesis in different solid tumors. However, few studies addressed the role of microbiota in NEN. We here aimed at evaluating the presence of bacterial infiltration in neuroendocrine tumoral tissue. To assess the presence of bacteria, 20 specimens from pancreatic NEN (pan-NEN) and 20 from intestinal NEN (I-NEN) were evaluated through Fluorescent In situ Hybridization and confocal microscopy. Demographic data, pre-operative investigations, operative findings, pathological diagnosis, follow-up, and survival data were evaluated. Among I-NEN, bacteria were detected in 15/20 (75%) specimens, with high variability in microbial distribution. In eight patients, a high infiltration of microorganisms was observed. Among pan-NEN, 18/20 (90%) showed microorganisms' infiltration, with a homogeneous microbial distribution. Bacterial localization in pan-NEN was observed in the proximity of blood vessels. A higher bacterial infiltration in the tumoral specimen as compared with non-tumoral tissue was reported in 10/20 pan-NEN (50%). No significant differences were observed in mean bacterial count according to age, sex, ki67%, site, tumor stage. Mean bacterial count did not result to be a predictor of disease-specific survival. This preliminary study demonstrates the presence of a significant microbiota in the NEN microenvironment. Further research is needed to investigate the potential etiological or clinical role of microbiota in NEN.

    Abstract Background: Allgrove disease is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by adrenal insufficiency, alacrimia, achalasia and complex neurological involvement. Allgrove disease is due to recessive mutations in the AAAS gene, which encodes for the nucleoporin Aladin, implicated in the nucleocytoplasmic transport. The adrenal insufficiency has been suggested to rely on adrenal gland-ACTH resistance. However, the link between the molecular pathology affecting the nucleoporin Aladin and the glucocorticoid deficiency is still unknown.
    Results: By analyzing postmortem patient's adrenal gland, we identified a downregulation of Aladin transcript and protein. We found a downregulation of Scavenger receptor class B-1 (SCARB1), a key component of the steroidogenic pathway, and SCARB1 regulatory miRNAs (mir125a, mir455) in patient's tissues. With the hypothesis of an impairment in the nucleocytoplasmic transport of the SCARB1 transcription enhancer cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), we detected a reduction of nuclear Phospho-PKA and a cytoplasmic mislocalization in patient's samples.
    Conclusions: These results shed a light on the possible mechanisms linking ACTH resistance, SCARB1 impairment, and defective nucleocytoplasmic transport.

    Abstract Kidneys retrieved from donors after cardiac death (DCD) pose significant challenges from a clinical and technical point of view, undergoing a variable degree of ischemia-reperfusion injury. At present, the utilization of kidneys is assessed according to the Karpinski score, which does not take into account the ischemic insult and does not predict the functional recovery of the organ once transplanted. Therefore, the correlation between biopsy results and post-transplant graft function is still debated. In this study we examined kidney biopsies from DCD donors; we calculated the Karpinski score and subsequently identified and quantified the ischemic lesions in the glomerular, interstitial, and tubular compartments. These same lesions were quantified in kidney biopsies from donors after brain death (DBD) in a case-control analysis. The collected data were correlated with the clinical data of the donors and the post-transplant follow-up. Proximal tubule alterations are crucial in ischemia-reperfusion damage, showing precise histological alterations, which are more frequent in DCD than in DBD donors and are statistically correlated with functional recovery of the organ. Quantification of ischemic tubular lesions in biopsies of kidneys from DCD donors is a useful tool for predicting post-transplant renal function and a valid parameter for assessing the quality of the graft.
