    Abstract Aim: To evaluate whether there is an association between persistently positive plasma Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and the presence and the change in benign hyperplasia.
    Materials and methods: One hundred and seventeen participants with positive-plasma EBV-DNA, but without NPC from previous nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) screening, underwent follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and plasma EBV-DNA after 2 years. Logistic regression was used to analyse associations between MRI (benign hyperplasia on the follow-up MRI and change from 2 years earlier), and plasma EBV-DNA, smoking, and age.
    Results: At follow-up, EBV-DNA positivity and smoking were independent parameters for the presence of benign hyperplasia (p=0.027 and 0.023 respectively). Compared with participants in whom EBV-DNA became negative (n=44/117 37.6%), those in whom EBV-DNA remained positive (n=73/117 62.4%) had a greater risk of benign hyperplasia developing (previous MRI normal), being stable or processing (52/73 71.2% versus 18/44 40.9%; p=0.001).
    Conclusion: These results suggest a potential link between benign hyperplasia on MRI and the EBV. As EBV contributes to NPC oncogenesis, future MRI research is warranted to determine if persistent benign hyperplasia is a risk marker for development of NPC.

    Abstract Background and purpose: We evaluated modifications to our contrast-enhanced MR imaging grading system for symptomatic patients with suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma, aimed at improving discrimination of early-stage cancer and benign hyperplasia. We evaluated a second non-contrast-enhanced MR imaging grading system for asymptomatic patients from nasopharyngeal carcinoma plasma screening programs.
    Materials and methods: Dedicated nasopharyngeal MR imaging before (plain scan system) and after intravenous contrast administration (current and modified systems) was reviewed in patients from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma-endemic region, comprising 383 patients with suspected disease without nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 383 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The modified and plain scan systems refined primary tumor criteria, added a nodal assessment, and expanded the system from 4 to 5 grades. The overall combined sensitivity and specificity of the 3 systems were compared using the extended McNemar test (a χ
    Results: The current, modified, and plain scan MR imaging systems yielded sensitivities of 99.74%, 97.91%, and 97.65%, respectively, and specificities of 63.45%, 89.56% and 86.42%, respectively. The modified system yielded significantly better performance than the current ([Formula: see text] = 122) and plain scan ([Formula: see text] = 6.1) systems. The percentages of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in grades 1-2, grade 3, and grades 4-5 for the modified and plain scan MR imaging systems were 0.42% and 0.44%; 6.31% and 6.96%; and 90.36% and 87.79%, respectively. No additional cancers were detected after contrast administration in cases of a plain scan graded 1-2.
    Conclusions: We propose a modified MR imaging grading system that improves diagnostic performance for nasopharyngeal carcinoma detection. Contrast was not valuable for low MR imaging grades, and the plain scan shows potential for use in screening programs.

    Abstract We present the case of a 28-year-old man with an unusual aetiology of lipid-dense material in the subarachnoid space. CT of the head at presentation was normal. MRI of the spine revealed a defect in the dura at L5/S1, with avulsed left L5 and S1 nerve roots. Haematoma and marrow fat were observed in close relation to the dural tear adjacent to the sacral fracture. Head CT and MRI subsequently demonstrated new lipid-dense material and haemorrhage in the subarachnoid space after sacral instrumentation, presumably owing to transthecal displacement of fatty marrow.

    Abstract Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDIs) are promising anticancer therapies and have been clinically used for the treatment of hematological malignancy. However, their efficacy in solid tumors is marginal and drug resistance hampers their further clinical utility. To develop novel strategies for the HDI-based anticancer therapeutics in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in the present study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying resistance to HDI treatment in NSCLC cells. We show the STAT3-mediated IGF2/IGF-1R signaling cascade as a key modulator for both acquired and primary HDI resistance. The treatment with HDI upregulated IGF2 transcription in NSCLC cells carrying intrinsic or acquired drug resistance via direct binding of STAT3 in IGF2 P3 and P4 promoters. Acetylated STAT3 emerged upon HDAC inhibition was protected from the proteasome-mediated degradation of STAT3 and functioned as a direct transcription factor for IGF2 expression. Genomic or pharmacological strategies targeting STAT3 diminished the HDI-induced IGF2 mRNA expression and overcame the resistance to HDI treatment in HDI-resistant NSCLC- or patient-derived tumor xenograft models. These findings provide new insights into the role of acetylated STAT3-mediated activation of IGF2 transcription in HDI resistance, suggesting IGF2 or STAT3 as novel targets to overcome HDI resistance in NSCLC.
