Stratégies en cas de positivité du ganglion sentinelle dans les cancers du sein

2020

Resume Les strategies de prise en charge en cas de ganglion(s) sentinelle(s) micro ou macrometastatique(s) dans les cancers du sein ont ete profondement modifiees depuis une dizaine d’annees et la publication de cinq essais randomises : ACOSOG Z0011, IBCSG 23-01, et AATRM comparant curage axillaire versus abstention ; et AMAROS et OTOASOR comparant curage axillaire versus radiotherapie axillaire. Malgre les limites methodologiques de certains de ces essais, notamment de l’ACOSOG Z0011, les recommandations internationales (ASCO, NCCN) et le consensus d’experts de St Gallen ne preconisent pas la realisation d’un curage axillaire complementaire en cas d’envahissement macro ou micrometastatique…

Les cancers du rein non à cellules claires : caractéristiques clinico-biologiques et prise en charge thérapeutique hors chirurgie

2020

Resume Les cancers du rein non a cellules claires representent pres de 25 % de l’ensemble des cancers du rein, et constituent un groupe de tumeurs tres heterogenes a la fois en termes de varietes histologiques, mais egalement d’anomalies biologiques oncogeniques. La presentation clinique ainsi que le pronostic des patients sont egalement tres variables. Compte tenu de la rarete de chaque entite tumorale, il n’existe que tres peu d’essais cliniques ayant porte sur une variete bien definie de cancer non a cellules claires. Ceci rend difficile l’interpretation de ces etudes, et donc l’emission de recommandations claires de prise en charge medicale pour la maladie avancee. Dans cet article, les…

Coronary Artery Fistula in Down Syndrome: A Hidden Association

Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome as a major cause of syndromic intellectual disability: A study of 33 French cases.

2018

International audience; Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WSS) is a rare syndromic condition in which intellectual disability (ID) is associated with hypertrichosis cubiti, short stature, and characteristic facies. Following the identification of the causative gene (KMT2A) in 2012, only 31 cases of WSS have been described precisely in the literature. We report on 33 French individuals with a KMT2A mutation confirmed by targeted gene sequencing, high-throughput sequencing or exome sequencing. Patients' molecular and clinical features were recorded and compared with the literature data. On the molecular level, we found 29 novel mutations. We observed autosomal dominant transmission of WSS in 3 fami…

Imaging Bacterial Colonies and Phage-Bacterium Interaction at Sub-Nanometer Resolution Using Helium-Ion Microscopy

2017

Imaging of microbial interactions has so far been based on well‐established electron microscopy methods. This study presents a new way to study bacterial colonies and interactions between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages (phages), in situ on agar plates using helium ion microscopy (HIM). In biological imaging, HIM has advantages over traditional scanning electron microscopy with its sub‐nanometer resolution, increased surface sensitivity, and the possibility to image nonconductive samples. Furthermore, by controlling the He beam dose or by using heavier Ne ions, the HIM instrument provides the possibility to mill out material in the samples, allowing for subsurface imaging and in …

Cytokine profile of breast cell lines after different radiation doses

2017

Purpose: Ionizing radiation (IR) treatment activates inflammatory processes causing the release of a great amount of molecules able to affect the cell survival. The aim of this study was to analyze the cytokine signature of conditioned medium produced by non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial cell line MCF10A, as well as MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines, after single high doses of IR in order to understand their role in high radiation response. Materials and methods: We performed a cytokine profile of irradiated conditioned media of MCF10A, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines treated with 9 or 23 Gy, by Luminex and ELISA analyses. Results: Overall, our results show that both 9 Gy and 23 …

PSPU-Net for Automatic Short Axis Cine MRI Segmentation of Left and Right Ventricles

2020

[EN] Characterization of the heart anatomy and function is mostly done with magnetic resonance image cine series. To achieve a correct characterization, the volume of the right and left ventricle need to be segmented, which is a timeconsuming task. We propose a new convolutional neural network architecture that combines U-net with PSP modules (PSPU-net) for the segmentation of left and right ventricle cavities and left ventricle myocardium in the diastolic frame of short-axis cine MRI images and compare its results against a classic 3D U-net architecture. We used a dataset containing 399 cases in total. The results showed higher quality results in both segmentation and final volume estimati…

Host-based lipid inflammation drives pathogenesis in Francisella infection

2017

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) was used to elucidate host lipids involved in the inflammatory signaling pathway generated at the host-pathogen interface during a septic bacterial infection. Using Francisella novicida as a model organism, a bacterial lipid virulence factor (endotoxin) was imaged and identified along with host phospholipids involved in the splenic response in murine tissues. Here, we demonstrate detection and distribution of endotoxin in a lethal murine F. novicida infection model, in addition to determining the temporally and spatially resolved innate lipid inflammatory response in both 2D and 3D renderings using MSI. Further, we show that the cyclooxygenase-2-dependent lip…
