    Abstract Herein we present case report of a 73-year-old female who developed a rapidly growing, ulcerated lesion on her left superior eyelid. Despite treatment for suspected infection, symptoms only marginally improved. Physical examination revealed a diffusely ulcerated multinodular tumour with overlying haemorrhagic and serosanguineous exudate. A shave biopsy led to a diagnosis of primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL), a rare CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder. The patient had no extracutaneous involvement on PET-CT and her prognosis is good given the indolent nature of pcALCL. Differential diagnoses included merkel cell carcinoma, periocular sebaceous carcinoma, lymphomatoid papulosis, and extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma. Prognosis for pcALCL is generally good. Treatment recommendation for pcALCL is surgical excision with negative margins for localised disease, while intravenous brentuximab vedotin is suggested for widespread, relapsed, and refractory disease.

    Abstract Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial agent that is commonly used in the management of rheumatic skin disease. Few reports exist documenting exacerbation of dermatomyositis (DM) related to HCQ. Herein, we describe three adult patients with worsening DM cutaneous disease after starting HCQ and resolution or improvement with cessation. The time to exacerbation ranged from two weeks to nine months after the initiation of HCQ 400mg/day. Two of the three patients had antibodies to transcription intermediary factor 1γ (TIF1γ) and the other had antibodies to anti-nuclear matrix protein 2 (NXP2). After discontinuation of HCQ, the time to improvement or resolution of cutaneous symptoms ranged from six weeks to six months. Hydroxychloroquine may be associated with worsening cutaneous features in DM. In patients who are not improving despite escalation of immunosuppressive medications, or are worsening, we recommend a trial of discontinuing HCQ.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States and treatment options are limited for patients who develop liver metastases. Several chemotherapeutic regimens have been used for transvascular liver-directed therapy in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases without clear evidence of superiority of one therapy over another. We describe the development of a novel nanoemulsion through combining irinotecan (IRI), a first line systemic agent used for the treatment of colon cancer, with lipiodol, an oily contrast medium derived from poppy seed oil, and evaluated its pharmacokinetic and biodistribution profile as a function of portal venous chemoembolization (PVCE) versus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) delivery. The Tessari technique was used to create a stable emulsion (20 mg IRI mixed with 2 mL lipiodol) with resultant particle size ranging from 28.9 nm to 56.4 nm. Pharmacokinetic profile established through venous sampling in Buffalo rats demonstrate that the area under the curve (AUC

    Abstract Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is widely expressed across many tissue and cell types. Proteolytic processing of the protein gives rise to a plethora of protein fragments with varied biological activities. Although a large amount of data has been generated describing the metabolism of the protein in neurons, its role in regulating the phenotype of other cells remains unclear. Based upon prior work demonstrating that APP regulates the activation phenotype of monocytic lineage cells, we hypothesized that APP can regulate macrophage activation phenotype in tissues other than brain. Ileums of the small intestines from C57BL6/J wild type and APP(-/-) mice were compared as a representative tissue normally associated with abundant macrophage infiltration. APP(-/-) intestines demonstrated diminished CD68 immunoreactivity compared to wild type mice. This correlated with significantly less cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2), CD68, CD40, CD11c, and βIII-tubulin protein levels. Peritoneal macrophages from APP(-/-) mice demonstrated decreased in vitro migratory ability compared to wild type cells and diminished basal KC cytokine secretion. Whereas, APP(-/-) intestinal macrophages had an increase in basal KC cytokine secretion compared to wild type cells. Conversely, there was a significant decrease in multiple cytokine levels in APP(-/-) compared to wild type ileums. Finally, APP(-/-) mice demonstrated impaired absorption and increased motility compared to wild type mice. These data demonstrate the APP expression regulates immune cell secretions and phenotype and intestinal function. This data set describes a novel function for this protein or its metabolites that may be relevant not only for Alzheimer's disease but a range of immune-related disorders.
