    Abstract Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a congenital disorder of the enteric nervous system that occurs in ∼1 in 5000 live births. It is characterized by the absence of ganglionic cells (GCs) in the distal intestine. The diagnosis relies on the thorough analysis of a rectal suction biopsy (RSB), which must show a complete absence of GCs after careful examination of at least 100 serial sections. Such a negative characteristic explains the difficulty of this diagnosis. Moreover, GCs may be immature in very young or preterm born children, making them hard to recognize. Therefore, ancillary techniques have been developed as diagnostic help, such as acetylcholinesterase histochemistry and calretinin immunostaining. These techniques reveal only indirect clues, focusing mainly on the changes in nerve fibers, but not on GCs themselves. As PHOX2B has been shown to be a very specific transcription factor in GCs and in progenitor enteric nerve cells, we have assessed (i) PHOX2B immunostaining in immature enteric ganglia and (ii) the use of PHOX2B immunostaining for the recognition of GCs on RSBs for suspicion of HD. We have observed PHOX2B expression in all GCs, both mature and immature, and its complete absence in Hirschsprung cases. We suggest that the use of PHOX2B immunostaining is of great help (i) in the recognition of GCs on RSBs regardless of their differentiation and therefore (ii) in the diagnosis of HD.

    Abstract Introduction: The study of tumor extension in knee osteosarcomas is an essential diagnostic tool that helps determine the surgical approach. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the key component in this decision-making process, but the interpretation of signals can be difficult because peritumoral edema and inflammation may be mistaken for the tumor.
    Hypothesis: There is a discrepancy between MRI and histopathology findings in the assessment of joint involvement in pediatric osteosarcomas of the knee.
    Materials and methods: All children who underwent an extra-articular resection for an osteosarcoma of the knee between 2007 and 2016 were included. This was indicated if there was at least one of the following MRI signs: presence of articular effusion, involvement of either the peripheral capsuloligamentous structures, central pivot or patella, or lesion abutting the articular cartilage.
    Results: Nine patients were operated on with a mean age of 13±2.7 years. There were at least two of the described signs, mainly the involvement of the peripheral capsuloligamentous structures (78%) and central pivot (56%). The histopathology confirmed that the resection margins were healthy in all cases, but the indication for extra-articular resection could have been avoided in 89% of them.
    Discussion: MRI is the current gold standard for assessing tumor extension, but the signs contraindicating the transarticular approach remain poorly defined. Joint effusion detected by clinical or radiological assessment is the least reliable one. It seems that the tumor's proximity to the articular cartilage, as long as there is no loss of continuity in the latter, or its extension into the central pivot should no longer be considered as relevant signs. The involvement of the peripheral capsuloligamentous structure remains an indication criterion because oncologic resection is otherwise impossible, and the risk of false-negative histopathologic diagnoses is higher. Other MRI sequences could better assess the true extension into the joint space.
    Level of evidence: IV, retrospective study.

    Abstract Introduction: Childhood IgA nephropathy (cIgAN) is a primary glomerulonephritis clinically characterized by microscopic hematuria and proteinuria, the presence of which may potentially overlap with Alport syndrome. Interestingly, earlier studies suggested that familial IgAN could be linked to the chromosome 2q36 region, also the coding region for collagen type 4 alpha 3/4 (COL4A3/A4).
    Methods: To investigate a possible relationship or phenocopy between Alport syndrome and cIgAN, COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 exons were sequenced in 36 cIgAN patients. Clinical data and treatment were collected retrospectively. COL4A3/A4/A5 variants were classified according to American College of Medical Genetics and the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines.
    Results: Four of 36 cIgAN patients were affected by ACMG class 4/5 COL4A3 heterozygous variants (COL4A3-cIgAN). We found no COL4A4 or COL4A5 variant. Despite having rare and deleterious COL4A3 variants, 3 of 4 COL4A3-cIgAN children developed clinical and biologic features of active IgAN rather than Alport syndrome. Response to intensive immunosuppressive treatment was favorable, leading to a reduction of endocapillary and extracapillary proliferation lesions. High levels of immune immunoglobulin G and A (IgG/IgA) complexes, reduction of proteinuria, and gradual stabilization of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) argued against Alport syndrome. Nevertheless, COL4A3-cIgAN patients seemed predisposed to a more serious IgAN presentation compared with the non‒COL4A3-cIgAN group, with more glomerulosclerosis and a lower eGFR over time. One of the 4 patients underwent kidney transplant with subsequent IgAN recurrence.
    Conclusions: Predisposition factors for developing serious cIgAN flare-up should be considered for cIgAN with COL4A3 pathologic heterozygous variants. COL4A3 variants, usually responsible for Alport syndrome in adults, should not automatically exclude an immunosuppressive regimen in cIgAN. Moreover, evidence of an ACMG class 4/5 COL4A3 variant in early-stage cIgAN could be a helpful tool for stratifying severity of cIgAN beyond the Oxford classification.

    Title translation Pulmonary glial heterotopia: Unique lesion in an infant with anencephalic twin.
    Abstract Pulmonary glial heterotopia is an extremely rare entity whose pathophysiology remains unclear. We report for the first time one case of pulmonary glial heterotopia occured in a one-month baby free from any malformation. She has the particularity of being born from monozygotic monochorionic twin pregnancy where her anencephalic exencephalic sister suffered a medical termination of pregnancy. She presented neonatal respiratory distress, which recurred one month later. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral cystic pulmonary lesions mainly located in the right lung. Given the suspicion of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), she underwent an upper and a lower right lung lobectomy at four months old. The pathological study found a multi-cystic lesion consisted of well-differentiated and poorly cellular glial tissue sometimes lined by bronchic epithelium. There was no pathological evidence for a CCAM. The evolution was favorable after surgery with an infant who was well five months later. This is one of the very few cases where the disease did not lead to rapid death in utero or during the perinatal period. This suggests that effective management by surgery could be a decisive factor in the survival of these patients.

    Abstract Aim: Complete or partial resistance to prednisone and calcineurin inhibitors in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome often leads to end-stage renal disease. The aim of the study was to report the outcome of patients with multidrug-resistant nephrotic syndrome treated with an association of immunoglobulin immunoadsorption, intravenous immunoglobulins and B-cell depletion.
    Methods: At treatment initiation, patients received ten sessions of immunoglobulin immunoadsorption and intravenous immunoglobulins in two weeks followed by one rituximab in case of remission.
    Results: A remission of proteinuria was obtained in nine out of 14 patients at the end of the initial phase and in two additional patients after an extended period. The remission was stable in three patients and after additional IgIA and heavy immunosuppression in six. Two patients that initially responded relapsed after IgIA withdrawal and remained with an uncontrolled disease at last follow-up. Three patients did not respond to the treatment including two who were found to have a genetic podocytopathy.
    Conclusion: Patients with multidrug-resistant idiopathic nephrotic syndrome can be successfully led into remission by IgIA prior to reaching end-stage renal disease. However, IgIA does not suppress the need for heavy additional immunosuppression to control INS in most cases.

    Abstract Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is characterized by proteinuria and renal sodium retention leading to edema. This sodium retention is usually attributed to epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activation after plasma aldosterone increase. However, most nephrotic patients show normal aldosterone levels. Using a corticosteroid-clamped (CC) rat model of INS (CC-PAN), we showed that the observed electrogenic and amiloride-sensitive Na retention could not be attributed to ENaC. We then identified a truncated variant of acid-sensing ion channel 2b (ASIC2b) that induced sustained acid-stimulated sodium currents when coexpressed with ASIC2a. Interestingly, CC-PAN nephrotic ASIC2b-null rats did not develop sodium retention. We finally showed that the expression of the truncated ASIC2b in the kidney was dependent on the presence of albumin in the tubule lumen and activation of ERK in renal cells. Finally, the presence of ASIC2 mRNA was also detected in kidney biopsies from patients with INS but not in any of the patients with other renal diseases. We have therefore identified a variant of ASIC2b responsible for the renal Na retention in the pathological context of INS.
