RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Many T1-2N0-1M0 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) do not receive breast-conserving therapy (BCT) due to concerns about non-pCR or lymph node metastasis presence. METHODS: T1-2N0-1M0 TNBC patients who underwent NAC between 2010 and 2017 were collected from the SEER database. Factors affecting surgical modalities were analyzed by multinomial logistic regression. The overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models. Further stratified subgroup analyses were performed based on the response to NAC and N-stage. Adjusted-hazard ratios were also calculated to exclude potential bias. RESULTS: A total of 1112 patients were enrolled (median follow-up: 81 months), 58.5% received BCT, 23.6% received reconstruction and 17.9% received mastectomy. Response to NAC and N-stage not only influenced the choice of surgical modality but also were independent predictors for OS and BCSS. The surgery-induced survival differences mainly affect OS. Survival analyses demonstrated that the 10-year OS of BCT was superior or equal to that of mastectomy even in patients with partial response (PR) (77.4% vs. 64.1%, P = 0.013), no response (NR) (44.9% vs. 64.2%, P = 0.33), or N1 stage (75.7% vs. 57.4%, P = 0.0021). In the N1-PR cohort, mastectomy may lead to worse OS (P = 0.0012). Besides, between reconstruction and BCT, there was no statistical difference in OS or BCSS (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our study reveals the necessity of breast surgical de-escalation. Besides, physicians should actively recommend reconstruction for individuals who strongly desire mastectomy.

INTRODUCTION: For HR-positive/HER2-negative patients who can undergo breast-conserving surgery (BCS) but have a tumor size of 2-5 cm or 1-3 lymph node metastases, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is still controversial. METHODS: Patients with T2N0-1M0 HR-positive/HER2-negative BC who underwent BCS between 2010 and 2017 were selected from the SEER database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize the influence of confounding factors. The overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) of patients were estimated by KaplanâMeier curves and Cox proportional hazard models. Independent prognostic factors were included to construct a nomogram prediction model. RESULTS: A total of 6475 BC patients were enrolled, of whom 553 received NAC and 5922 received adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). In the T2N0-1M0 population and T2N1M0 subgroup, AC patients before PSM had better OS and BCSS than NAC patients. After PSM, there was no significant difference in OS or BCSS between the two groups. However, in the T2N0M0 subgroup, there was no difference in survival between the AC and NAC groups before and after PSM. Stratified analysis revealed that for complete response (CR) patients, survival was roughly equivalent between the NAC and AC groups. However, the survival of no response (NR) and partial response (PR) patients was significantly worse than that of AC patients. Cox analysis revealed that radiotherapy after BCS was an independent protective factor for OS. NAC is an independent risk factor for NR and PR patients. The nomogram has good prediction efficiency. CONCLUSION: NAC before BCS is not necessary for T2N0-1M0 HR-positive/HER2-negative BC patients.

INTRODUCTION: Neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST) is vital in the management of HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. Nevertheless, the indications for NAST in tumors <2 cm remain controversial. METHOD: A total of 7961 patients were screened from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result database. Independent prognostic factors were identified using multivariate Cox analysis. Subgroup analyses and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to simulate whether NAST would provide a survival benefit with different high-risk characteristics. Nomograms were constructed, and an internal validation cohort was employed. RESULTS: Of the 7961 included patients, 1137 (14.3%) underwent NAST. In the total population, NAST was associated with poorer overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) (OS: P = 0.00093; BCSS: P < 0.0001). Multivariate Cox analysis confirmed that NAST markedly affected the prognosis of enrolled patients. Besides, a direct association between T, N, age, subtype, and prognosis was observed. Subgroup analyses yielded in these three subgroups, T1c, hormone receptor-negative, and 61-69 years of age, NAST and AST had comparable OS, while NAST possessed worse BCSS. Notably, even in the N3, we still did not observe any additional benefit of NAST. The calculated C-index of 0.72 and 0.73 confirmed the predictability of the nomograms. The AUCs exhibit consistency in the training and validation cohorts. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that NAST does not provide additional benefit to patients with T1 HER2+ breast cancer, even in the presence of lymph node metastasis, T1c, or hormone receptor negativity. This study facilitates the implementation of individualized management strategies.

INTRODUCTION: The survival benefit of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) combined with radiation, and ALND combined with radiation remains unclear in breast cancer (BC) patients with 1-2 metastatic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). This study aims to rigorously evaluate the prognostic impact of these axillary evaluation modalities on BC patients with varying T-stages and to construct a survival prediction nomogram. METHODS: Following screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria, data pertaining to BC patients were extracted from the SEER database. Overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards model among patients with different stages who underwent various axillary evaluation modalities. A nomogram was constructed to predict the probability of OS and BCSS. RESULTS: A total of 20,283 patients were included, comprising 9626 who underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and 10,657 who underwent mastectomy. In the T4 stage stratified analysis, both BCS and mastectomy groups exhibited superior OS and BCSS with ALND compared to SLNB combined with radiation. Further, ALND combined with radiation improved OS. However, for T1-3 stages, patients treated with ALND experienced similar or worse survival compared to those treated with SLNB combined with radiation. The calibration curve and C-index (0.746-0.794) of the nomogram demonstrated the efficacy of the survival prediction model. CONCLUSION: In T1-3 BC patients with 1-2 metastatic SLNs, SLNB combined with radiation is a safe alternative to ALND. Conversely, for T4 patients, ALND combined with radiation may offer a preferable choice.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an invasive and last-resort treatment for circulatory and respiratory failure. Prolonged ECMO support can disrupt the coagulation and anticoagulation systems in a patient, leading to adverse consequences, such as bleeding and thrombosis. To address this problem, anticoagulation coatings have been developed for use in ECMO circuits. This article reviews commonly used commercial and novel anticoagulant coatings developed in recent years and proposes a new classification of coatings based on the current state. While commercial coatings have been used clinically for decades, this review focuses on comparing the effectiveness and stability of coatings to support clinical selections. Furthermore, novel anticoagulation coatings often involve complex mechanisms and elaborate design strategies, and this review summarises representative studies on mainstream anticoagulation coatings to provide a point of reference for future studies.

There are various surgical methods for tracheoesophageal fistula; however, there is presently no unified standard. Based on the magnetic compression technique, we designed a novel method for the treatment of tracheoesophageal fistula. The purpose of this study was to verify its feasibility in an animal experiment. Six beagle dogs underwent surgical repair after constructing a tracheoesophageal fistula model. After the tracheal and esophageal spaces were freed during the operation, two magnets were used to clamp the fistula. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and wound healing were monitored. Samples were obtained 14 days after the operation, and fistula repair was observed. The tracheoesophageal fistula repair operation was successfully completed for all six beagles. The average operation time was 23.67 ± 4.50 min. The average intraoperative blood loss was less than 10 mL. One dog had a postoperative wound infection, and the rest had no postoperative complications. The wound healed well. In all dogs, after specimen collection, it was observed that the fistula was successfully closed and the mucosal layer was smooth and flat. Histological observation showed that the anastomosis was slightly inflamed, the mucosal layer and surrounding tissues were arranged neatly, and the structure was slightly disordered. Magnetic compression technique can be effectively used to repair tracheoesophageal fistula, shorten the operation time, and simplify the operation procedure, and thus, it has the potential for clinical application.

In single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy, surgical instruments are likely to collide and interfere with each other. We used magnetic anchor technique to design an anchoring device suitable for thoracoscopic surgery, and verified the safety and feasibility of its use in animal experiments. Ten Beagles were used as models, and magnetic anchor technology was used to assist thoracoscopic lobectomy. During the operation, a self-designed magnetic anchored internal grasper was used in place of the traditional laparoscopic grasping forceps. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications, and the effect of intraoperative use of the device were analyzed. All 10 beagles were successfully operated; the mean operation time was 19.7 ± 3.53 min (range 15-26 min), and the postoperative blood loss was < 10 mL. No surgical complications occurred. During the operation, the internal grasper was firmly clamped, the auxiliary operation field was well exposed, and the interference of the main operation hole instruments was effectively reduced. We provide preliminary experimental evidence of the safety and feasibility of magnetic anchor technique-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

INTRODUCTION: The magnetic compression technique (MCT) is used for the anastomosis of hollow organs by the means of suction between magnets. The MCT is useful for establishing digestive tract anastomoses in rats, for example, end-to-side small intestinal anastomosis and colonic anastomosis. We aim to determine the feasibility of MCT-based esophageal anastomosis in rats. METHODS: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley albino rats (230-250 g) were randomly divided into an MCT group and a control group (hand-sewn esophageal anastomosis). The time required to construct the anastomosis, postoperative complications, and survival rate was compared between the two groups. At 2 wk postoperatively, the animals were sacrificed to assess the burst pressure and histological features of the anastomoses. RESULTS: The mean anastomosis time was significantly lower for MCT (11.17 ± 1.64 min) than for the hand-sewn technique (27.42 ± 2.23 min; P < 0.001). The survival rate was slightly higher in the MCT group (91.67%) than in the control group (66.67%, P = 0.317). The magnets were discharged from the body after 8.33 ± 0.89 d (range, 7-10 d). No anastomotic leakage or stenosis occurred in the MCT group. Three rats developed anastomotic stenosis and two rats developed anastomotic leakage in the control group. The burst pressures were similar in the two groups. An histological examination showed that compared with the control group, the MCT group had better alignment of the tissue layers and less inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: The MCT is a simple and feasible technique for esophageal anastomosis in rats and has the potential for clinical application.

Based on the principle of magnetic anastomosis technique, the design of magnetic anastomosis system for endoscopic tissue clamping is proposed. The system includes a semi-ring magnet, a special structure transparent cap and a detachable push rod. With the help of the existing digestive endoscopy and endoscopic tissue gripper, the endoscopic close clamping and anastomosis of the bleeding or perforated tissue can be completed. After the anastomosis, the magnet falls off and is discharged through the digestive tract. Animal experiments showed that the system was easy to use, the fistula was clamped firmly, the magnet was discharged for 7~21 days, and there was no magnet retention and digestive tract obstruction. Further safety verification, optimization of endoscopic operation, the system can be used in clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors of laryngeal carcinoma recurrence, 103 patients of laryngeal carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively on carcinoma marker, molecular margin and clinical factors with univariate analysis and multivariate analysis. METHOD: CyclinD1, p27, p53 and eIF4E in primary site and surgery margins were detected in laryngeal carcinoma recurrence group and unrecurrence group with immunohistochemical staining to explore the significance of CyclinD1, p27, p53 and eIF4E on laryngeal carcinoma recurrence; The clinical data of 103 patients of laryngeal carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively to investigate the clinical factors of laryngeal carcinoma recurrence; At last above three factors were analyzed with multivariate analysis. RESULT: There was significant difference between laryngeal carcinoma recurrence group and unrecurrence group about CyclinD1, p27 and p53 in laryngeal primary site; There was no significant difference between laryngeal carcinoma recurrence group and unrecurrence group about eIF4E. There was significant difference between laryngeal carcinoma recurrence group and unrecurrence group about CyclinD1, p27, p53 and eIF4E in surgery margins. Laryngeal carcinoma recurrence after surgery was related with carcinoma site, T stage, node metastasis, laryngeal carcinoma pathology and operative method; However, it was not related with age, sex and postoperative irradiation therapy with univariate analysis. Laryngeal carcinoma recurrence after surgery was related with T stage, node metastasis, laryngeal carcinoma pathology and operative method with logistic multivariate analysis. At last, laryngeal carcinoma recurrence after surgery was related with T stage, node metastasis, laryngeal carcinoma pathology and positive molecular margins with logistic multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: The factors of laryngeal carcinoma recurrence is comprehensive. T stage, node metastasis,laryngeal carcinoma pathology and laryngeal carcinoma positive molecular margins were related with laryngeal carcinoma recurrence. Positive molecular margins were more reliable.
