    Abstract Multicellular spheroids are very attractive models in oncology because they mimic the 3D organization of the tumour cells with their microenvironment. We show here using 3 different cell types (mammary TSA/pc, embryonic kidney Hek293 and cervical cancer HeLa), that when the cells are growing as spheroids the frequency of binucleated cells is augmented as occurs in some human tumours.We therefore describe mitosis in multicellular spheroids by following mitotic markers and by time-lapse experiments. Chromosomes alignment appears to be correct on the metaphasic plate and the passenger complex is well localized on centromere. Moreover aurora kinases are fully active and histone H3 is phosphorylated on Ser 10. Consequently, the mitotic spindle checkpoint is satisfied and, anaphase proceeds as illustrated by the transfer of survivin on the spindle and by the segregation of the two lots of chromosomes. However, the segregation plane is not well defined and oscillations of the dividing cells are observed. Finally, cytokinesis fails and the absence of separation of the two daughter cells gives rise to binucleated cells.Division orientation is specified during interphase and persists throughout mitosis. Our data indicate that the cancer cells, in multicellular spheroids, lose their ability to regulate their orientation, a feature commonly encountered in tumours.Moreover, multicellular spheroid expansion is still sensitive to mitotic drugs as pactlitaxel and aurora kinase inhibitors. The spheroids thus represent a highly relevant model for studying drug efficiency in tumours.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: Ascariasis is a helminthic infection of humans caused by Ascaris lumbricoides. Pediatric patients infected with Ascaris can develop multiple complications including appendicitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatobiliary disease like cholangitis or obstructive jaundice, intussusception, and bowel obstruction among others. Ascaris is a rare cause of intestinal perforation even in endemic areas.
    Case presentation: A 2-year-old female Ethiopian toddler who was presented with a complaint of non-bilious, non-projectile vomiting of 06 days duration, about two-three episodes per day. Associated with this she had had progressive abdominal distension, intermittent abdominal cramps and loss of appetite. On examination, she was acutely sick looking. She had signs of dehydration. Subsequently, she was resuscitated, broad spectrum antibiotic started and operated. Finally, the child was discharged improved after 7 days of hospital stay.
    Clinical discussion: The clinical presentation of ascariasis can vary from asymptomatic child to one with severe disease requiring surgical intervention like our patient. Severity of disease depends on the worm burden; heavy worm infestation produces a wide range of acute abdominal complications such as intestinal obstruction, intussusception, cholangiohepatitis, pancreatitis, and acute appendicitis. Intestinal ascariasis rarely causes volvulus and intestinal gangrene, perforation and peritonitis.
    Conclusion: Ascariasis must be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presented with peritonitis especially those living or from temperate and tropical countries with a history of passage of worms. Ileum perforation is possible in patients with ascariasis due to pressing directly into the bowel wall, inflammatory reaction, or volvulus and intestinal wall necrosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is defined as asphyxia, suffocation, or inhalation of items of food, such as bone and seed, and non-food, such as toys, into the respiratory tract. Aspiration of foreign bodies is an important and preventable cause of mortality and morbidity in children, especially those less than 3 years of age. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical and radiological profile, modes of management, and outcomes of foreign body aspiration in children at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital and identify areas of possible interventions for proper management of such cases.
    Method: A retrospective review of the medical records of all patients suspected of foreign body aspiration at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (UoGCSH) from January 1, 2021, to January 1, 2023, G.C. was conducted. Clinico-radiological features, types and locations of foreign bodies, modes of management, and patient outcomes were studied.
    Results: A total of 73 patients suspected of having a possible foreign body aspiration were identified. The median age of the patients was 24 months, with an IQR of 14 and 39, with 46 (75.3 %) being under 3 years of age. 45 (61.6 %) were male, while 28 (38.4 %) were female, making the M:F ratio 1.6:1. A foreign body aspiration history could be obtained in 68 (93.1 %) of the patients, while in 4 (5.9 %) of the cases, patients or their families were not aware of any kind of aspiration. Among the children presented, 65 (89 %) had a choking episode, coughing 66 (91 %), vomiting 63 (86.3 %), tachypnea 61 (83.6 %), and stridor 15 (20.5 %). The most common physical finding observed was nasal flaring along with subcostal and intercostal retraction in 59 (80.8 %), followed by decreased air entry in 40 (54.8 %), wheeze in 37 (50.7 %), and absent air entry in the affected side in 4 (5.5 %) of the patients. A chest x-ray was done on all patients. 28 (41.2 %) had normal chest x-rays. With regard to procedure-related complications, 3 (4.1 %) patients had cardiac arrest, 1 (1.36 %) had pneumothorax, and 1 patient died.
    Conclusion: Any bronchopulmonary infection with an unusual course should be suspected of being the result of the aspiration of a foreign body. Increased public and professional awareness of the importance of early bronchoscopy in all suspected cases of foreign body aspiration is necessary. In order to lower the incidence, those providing care must be taught routine preventive measures.

    Abstract Heptaheteroaryl compounds comprised of oxazole and pyridine units (TOxaPy) are quadruplex DNA (G4)-interactive compounds. Herein, we report on the synthesis of parent compounds bearing either amino side chains (TOxaPy-1-5) or featuring an isomeric oxazole-pyridine central connectivity (iso-TOxapy, iso-TOxapy 1-3) or a bipyridine core (iso-TOxabiPy). The new isomeric series showed significant G4-binding activity in vitro, and remarkably, three compounds (iso-TOxaPy, iso-TOxaPy-1, and iso-TOxabiPy) exhibited high antiproliferative activity toward a tumor panel of cancer cell lines. However, these compounds do not behave as typical G-quadruplex (G4) binders, and the kinase profiling assay revealed that the best antiproliferative molecule iso-TOxaPy selectively inhibited Rock-2. The targeting of Rock kinase was confirmed in cells by the dephosphorylation of Rock-2 substrates, the decrease of stress fibers, and peripheral focal adhesions, as well as the induction of long neurite-like extensions. Remarkably, two of these molecules were able to inhibit the growth of cells organized as spheroids.

    Abstract Histone H3 phosphorylation is the hallmark of mitosis deposited by aurora kinase B. Benzo[e]pyridoindoles are a family of potent, broad, ATP-competitive aurora kinase inhibitors. However, benzo[e]pyridoindole C4 only inhibits histone H3 phosphorylation in prophase but not in metaphase. Under the C4 treatment, the cells enter into mitosis with dephosphorylated histone H3, assemble chromosomes normally and progress to metaphase, and then to anaphase. C4 also induces lagging chromosome in anaphase but we demonstrated that these chromosome compaction defects are not related to the absence of H3 phosphorylation in prophase. As a result of C4 action, mitosis lasts longer and the cell cycle is slowed down. We reproduced the mitotic defects with reduced concentrations of potent pan aurora kinase as well as with a specific aurora B ATP-competitive inhibitor; we therefore propose that histone H3 phosphorylation and anaphase chromosome compaction involve the basal activity of aurora kinase B. Our data suggest that aurora kinase B is progressively activated at mitosis entry and at anaphase onset. The full activation of aurora kinase B by its partners, in prometaphase, induces a shift in the catalytic domain of aurora B that modifies its affinity for ATP. These waves of activation/deactivation of aurora B correspond to different conformations of the chromosomal complex revealed by FRAP. The presence of lagging chromosomes may have deleterious consequences on the daughter cells and, unfortunately, the situation may be encountered in patients receiving treatment with aurora kinase inhibitors.

    Abstract Based on in vitro assays, we performed a High Throughput Screening (HTS) to identify kinase inhibitors among 10,000 small chemical compounds. In this didactic paper, we describe step-by-step the approach to validate the hits as well as the major pitfalls encountered in the development of active molecules. We propose a decision tree that could be adapted to most in vitro HTS.
