    Abstract Background and aims: Patient-Derived Tumor Organoids (PDTOs) is a promising new disease model in pancreatic cancer for use in personalized medicine, but overall success rate (SR) of establishing these cultures from endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsies is unknown.
    Methods: We searched relevant databases publications reporting SR of PDTO establishment from pancreatic cancer. The primary outcome was SR stratified on tissue acquisition method (EUS-guided biopsies, percutaneous biopsies, and surgical specimens).
    Results: We identified 24 studies including 1,053 attempts at establishing PDTOs. Overall SR was 63% (95% CI: 54%-72%). Pooled SR of PDTO establishment from EUS-guided biopsies, percutaneous biopsies, and surgical specimens were 60% (95% CI: 43-76%), 36% (95% CI: 14-61%) and 62% (95% CI: 48-75%), respectively and did not differ significantly (p = 0.1975).
    Conclusion: The SR of PDTO establishment from EUS-guided biopsies is comparable to surgical specimens. Both techniques are suitable for tissue acquisition for PDTOs in clinical and research settings.

    Title translation Endoluminal radiofrequency ablation of malignant biliary obstruction.
    Abstract This case report describes the first Danish case of endoluminal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of malignant biliary obstruction due to a Klatskin tumour in a 59-year-old male undergoing neoadjuvant therapy. The treatment was interrupted several times due to recurrent occlusions of the bile duct stents. The patient was offered endoluminal RFA of the central bile ducts in order to reduce his tumour burden and possibly achieve longer stent patency, so the palliative therapy could be resumed. The procedure was performed successfully without any adverse events achieving access to previously occluded left hepatic duct.

    Abstract EUS-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) has made rapid development since its introduction in the early 1990s. The technique is widely accepted and invaluable for staging and diagnosis of a variety of upper gastrointestinal and mediastinal lesions. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has long been the gold standard, but due to its limitations such as the inability to retain stroma and associated cellular architecture, novel biopsy needles (FNB) were designed. Overall, FNA and FNB needles perform seemingly equally in terms of diagnostic accuracy, however, the second-generation FNB needles require less passes. The third-generation FNB needles (crown-cut needle types) seem to be preferable to FNA needles as well as to the second-generation FNB needles, when larger histological specimens and preserved tissue architecture are required. EUS-TA is constantly under development, and new applications of this technique include tumor risk stratification according to its genetic profile as well as minimally invasive creation of patient-derived organoids, hallmarks of personized medicine. It remains yet to be shown, whether these applications will lead to a decisive shift from aspiration to biopsy, i.e., from A to B.

    Abstract The EWSR1 rearrangements with unknown genes were detected in a high percentage of classic variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The small-cell carcinoma of the thyroid with Ewing family tumor elements (CEFTE) typically presents with EWSR1-FLI1 rearrangement suggesting the possible role of EWSR-FLI1 translocation in the loss of thyroid differentiation and acquisition of a small-cell phenotype. In order to determine the frequency and association of EWSR1 rearrangements, particularly the EWSR1-FLI1 fusion with clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (m-PTC) and the presence of small cells, we analyzed a series of 99 m-PTCs using the fluorescence in situ hybridization method.  Ninety cases (90.9%) of m-PTC were positive for small cells. This group of m-PTC has shown more often invasive growth, lymphatics invasion, and moderate/extended intratumoral fibrosis. Three cases out of 99 were inconclusive for EWSR1 rearrangement. Eighty-nine (92.7%) and twenty-seven (28.1%) out of 96 m-PTC cases were positive for EWSR1 rearrangement and EWSR1-FLI1 fusion, respectively. m-PTC with classical architectural pattern presented more frequently with EWSR1 rearrangement relative to m-PTC with other patterns (p = 0.005). Other clinicopathological features were not related to the presence of EWSR1 rearrangement or EWSR1-FLI1 fusion. The percentage of small cells present significantly correlated with the percentage of cells positive for EWSR1-FLI1 fusion (p = 0.05) and EWSR1 rearrangement (p <0.001). EWSR1-FLI1 fusion is not rare in m-PTC and it is associated with the acquisition of small-cell phenotype. The EWSR1 gene rearrangement is a frequent event in m-PTC and is related to the classical pattern of m-PTC.

    Abstract Peripheral localisation of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), in comparison with intraparenchymal PTMC (i-PTMC) is related to some clinicopathological features related with biological aggressiveness, including lymph node metastasis (LNM). The expression of PD-L1 in tumour cell has been associated with increased tumour survival, progression, and potentially an aggressive clinical course. This study evaluates the relation between clinicopathological features of PTMC, including tumour localisation, with PD-L1 immunoexpression. The study included 99 patients with the histological diagnosis of PTMC (≥ 5 mm). PD-L1 protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. PTMCs were divided into the four following groups: G1- peripherally localised PTMC (p-PTMC) with PD-L1 expression; G2-p-PTMC without PD-L1 expression; G3-i-PTMC with PD-L1 expression and G4-i-PTMC without PD-L1 expression. G1 was the most frequent (n = 46; 46.5%), followed by G4 (n = 25; 25.3%) and similar distribution of G3 (n = 15; 15.2%) and G2 (n = 13; 13.1%). In comparison with other groups, G1 was significantly associated with classical morphology, invasive growth, lymphatic invasion (LI), vascular invasion (VI), psammoma bodies, intratumoral fibrosis, PD-L1 positive tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, and multinuclear giant cells (MGCs). G4 more commonly exhibited follicular morphology, expansive/circumscribed growth, and absence of the following: intratumoural fibrosis, LI, VI, psammoma bodies, PD-L1 positive tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, and MGCs. LNMs were significantly more frequent in G1 in comparison with the other groups (p = 0.000). In conclusion, morphology and tumour microenvironment of p-PTMC with PD-L1 expression is different from i-PTMC without PD-L1 expression. The differences between these two groups of PTMC include clinicopathological features related with biological aggressiveness such as the occurrence of LNM.

    Abstract The causes of cholestasis range from intrinsic hepatocellular disease to extrahepatic mechanical obstruction of the bile tree. Gallstones are the most common cause of obstructive cholestasis, but it is not seldomly associated with malignant disease. A systematic approach to diagnosing cholestatic liver disease, including thorough patient history, clinical examination, lab-panels and proper use of imaging and treatment alternatives, starting from least invasive and most cost-effective, ensures efficient patient outcomes and minimises the risk of complications as summarised in this review.

    Abstract Bile acids play important roles in the human body, and changes in their pool can be used as markers for various liver pathologies. In addition to their functional effects in modulating inflammatory responses and cellular survivability, the unconjugated or conjugated, secondary, or primary nature of bile acids accounts for their various ligand effects. The common hydrophilic bile acids have been used successfully as local treatment to resolve drug-induced cell damage or to ameliorate hearing loss. From various literature references, bile acids show concentration and tissue-dependent effects. Some hydrophobic bile acids act as ligands modulating vitamin D receptors, muscarinic receptors, and calcium-activated potassium channels, important proteins in the inner ear system. Currently, there are limited resources investigating the therapeutic effects of bile acid on hearing loss and little to no information on detecting bile acids in the remote ear system, let alone baseline bile acid levels and their prevalence in healthy and disease conditions. This review presents both hydrophilic and hydrophobic human bile acids and their tissue-specific effects in modulating cellular integrity, thus considering the possible effects and extended therapeutic applicability of bile acids to the inner ear tissue.
