    Abstract Background: Pre-transplant respiratory virus (RV) infections have been associated with negative transplant outcomes in adult hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. In the era of HCT delay due to high-risk RVs, we examined the impact of pre-transplant RV detection on transplant outcomes in a pediatric HCT recipients.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included myeloablative allogeneic HCT recipients from 2010 to 2019. All patients were screened for RV at least once within 90 days before HCT using RT-PCR, regardless of symptoms. Post-transplant outcomes included days alive and out of hospital (DAOH) and progression to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI).
    Results: Among 310 patients, 134 had a RV detected in the 90 days prior to HCT. In univariable analysis, transplant factors including younger age, total body irradiation, umbilical cord blood transplantation, lymphocyte count less than 100/mm3, and HCT comorbidity index score ≥3, and viral factors including symptomatic infection, human rhinovirus (HRV) as a virus type, and symptomatic pre-transplant upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) were associated with fewer DAOH. In multivariable analysis, transplant factors remained significant, but not viral factors. There was a higher incidence of progression to post-transplant LRTI with the same pre-transplant RV if the last positive PCR before HCT was ≤30 days compared to >30 days (p=0.007).
    Conclusion: In the setting of recommending HCT delay for high-risk RVs, symptomatic URTI, including HRV infections, may lead to increased duration of hospitalization and early progression to LRTI when transplantation is performed within 30 days of the last positive PCR test.

    Abstract Background: Periostin is an important extracellular matrix protein involved in cell development and adhesion. Previously, we identified periostin to be up-regulated in aggressive prostate cancer (CaP) using quantitative glycoproteomics and mass spectrometry. The expression of periostin was further evaluated in primary radical prostatectomy (RP) prostate tumors and adjacent non-tumorous prostate tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Our IHC results revealed a low background periostin levels in the adjacent non-tumorous prostate tissues, but overexpressed periostin levels in the peritumoral stroma of primary CaP tumors.
    Methods: In this study, periostin expression in CaP was further examined on multiple tissue microarrays (TMAs), which were conducted in four laboratories. To achieve consistent staining, all TMAs were stained with same protocol and scored by same image computation tool to determine the total periostin staining intensities. The TMAs were further scored by pathologists to characterize the stromal staining and epithelial staining.
    Results: The periostin staining was observed mainly in peritumoral stromal cells and in some cases in tumor epithelial cells though the stronger staining was found in peritumoral stromal cells. Both periostin stromal staining and epithelial staining can differentiate BPH from CaP including low grade CaP (Gleason score ≤6), with significant p-value of 2.2e-16 and 0.001, respectively. Periostin epithelial staining differentiated PIN from low grade CaP (Gleason score ≤6) (p=0.001), while periostin stromal staining differentiated low grade Cap (Gleason score ≤6) from high grade Cap (Gleason score ≤6) (p=1.7e-05). In addition, a positive correlation between total periostin staining and Gleason score was observed (r=0.87, p=0.002).
    Conclusions: The results showed that periostin staining was positively correlated with increasing Gleason score and the aggressiveness of prostate disease.
