Abstract

Purpose The aim of the present study is to assess the predictive value of the suprasellar volume (SSV) of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) for visual field (VF) impairment in order to guide clinical decision-making and improve neurosurgical management. Methods Two independent samples of patients with NFPAs (exploratory population N = 50, testing population N = 98) were included in the present study. In the first phase, we determined the optimal cut-off value of the SSV correlating with VF deficits in the exploratory population. In the second phase, we then studied the accuracy of identified cut-off in predicting a VF deficit in the testing population. Results In the exploratory population, the optimal cut-off value of the SSV to determine the presence of a VF deficit was 1.5 mL. Sensitivity and specificity of the cut-off were 81.3 and 100%, respectively. The positive predictive value (PPV) and the negative predictive value (NPV) were 100 and 75%, respectively. When we checked the identified cut-off score on the testing population, we found a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 100%. The PPV and NPV were 100 and 59.2%, respectively. In six cases with VF defects and SSV inferior to 1.5 mL, the displacement of optic chiasm was in superior position. Conclusion The SSV may represent an accurate method in routinely clinical practice for predicting VF deficit in patients affected by NFPA.

摘要

目的: 本研究的目的是评估鞍上体积 (SSV) 对无功能垂体腺瘤 (NFPAs) 视野 (VF) 的预测价值。损伤,以指导临床决策,提高神经外科管理水平。方法纳入 NFPAs 患者的 2 个独立样本 (探索性人群 n = 50,检测人群 n = 98)。在第一阶段,我们确定了探索人群中与 VF 缺陷相关的 SSV 的最佳临界值。在第二阶段,我们然后研究了在预测检测人群中 VF 赤字时确定的临界值的准确性。结果在探索性人群中,SSV 确定 VF 缺陷存在的最佳临界值为 1.5 mL。临界值的敏感性和特异性分别为 81.3 和 100%。阳性预测值 (PPV) 为 100,阴性预测值 (NPV) 为 75%。当我们在检测人群上检查确定的截止评分时,我们发现灵敏度为 71%,特异性为 100%。PPV 和 NPV 分别为 100 和 59.2%。6 例 VF 缺损,SSV 低于 1.5 mL,视交叉移位位置优越。结论 SSV 可能是常规临床实践中预测 NFPA 患者 VF 缺陷的准确方法。

METHODS:PURPOSE:To generate a preclinical model of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas from glioma patients and design a MRS method to test the compatibility of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) production between the preclinical model and patients. METHODS:Five patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice were generated from two glioma patients with IDH1 R132H mutation. A PRESS sequence was tailored at 9.4 T, with computer simulation and phantom analyses, for improving 2HG detection in mice. 2HG and other metabolites in the PDX mice were measured using the optimized MRS at 9.4 T and compared with 3 T MRS measurements of the metabolites in the parental-tumor patients. Spectral fitting was performed with LCModel using in-house basis spectra. Metabolite levels were quantified with reference to water. RESULTS:The PRESS TE was optimized to be 96 ms, at which the 2HG 2.25 ppm signal was narrow and inverted, thereby leading to unequivocal separation of the 2HG resonance from adjacent signals from other metabolites. The optimized MRS provided precise detection of 2HG in mice compared to short-TE MRS at 9.4 T. The 2HG estimates in PDX mice were in excellent agreement with the 2HG measurements in the patients. CONCLUSION:The similarity of 2HG production between PDX models and parental-tumor patients indicates that PDX tumors retain the parental IDH metabolic fingerprint and can serve as a preclinical model for improving our understanding of the IDH-mutation associated metabolic reprogramming.

METHODS:BACKGROUND:Gliomas consist of a heterogeneous group of tumors. This study aimed to report the incidences of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation, 1p19q co-deletion, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutations, and inactivating mutations of alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) in high-grade gliomas in an ethnically diverse population. METHODS:Records of patients who underwent surgery for high-grade gliomas from January 2013 to March 2017 at our institution were obtained. The patients' age, gender, ethnicity, Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score, ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), tumor location and biomarkers status were recorded. Data were analyzed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests, Kaplan-Meier estimates and log-rank test. RESULTS:181 patients were selected (56 with grade III gliomas, 125 with grade IV gliomas). In the grade III group, 55% had MGMT promoter methylation, 41% had 1p19q co-deletion, 35% had IDH1 mutation and none had ATRX loss. In the grade IV group, 30% had MGMT promoter methylation, 2% had 1p19q co-deletion, 15% had IDH1 mutation and 8% had ATRX loss. After adjusting for effects of age, surgery and pre-operative ADL statuses, only MGMT promoter methylation was found to be significantly associated with longer overall survival time in grade III (p = 0.024) and IV patients (p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS:The incidences of MGMT promoter methylation and IDH1 mutation were found to be comparable to globally reported rates, but those of 1p19q co-deletion and ATRX loss seemed to be lower in our cohort. MGMT promoter methylation was associated with increased overall survival in our cohort and might serve as favorable prognostic factor.

METHODS:BACKGROUND:Glioblastoma multiforme is a CNS cancer characterized by diffuse infiltrative growth, aggressive clinical behavior and very poor prognosis. The state-of-art clinical approach to this disease consists of surgical resection followed by radiotherapy plus concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide. Tumor recurrence occurs in virtually all cases, therefore, despite any treatment, the median survival is very low (14.6 months), which makes the approach to these patients a challenging clinical issue. MAIN BODY:The escalating costs and times required for new medications to reach the bedside make repurposing or repositioning of old drugs, when scientific bases allow their use in other pathologies, an appealing strategy. Here, we analyze a number of literature data concerning the antipsychotic chlorpromazine, the founder of the phenothiazines class of drugs, a medication widely used in the clinics for approximately 60 years. The drug exerts its effects on psychiatric patients by interfering with the dopamine receptor D2, although more recent pharmacodynamics studies ascribe chlorpromazine a series of biological effects on cancer cells, all converging in hindering also glioblastoma survival capabilities. SHORT CONCLUSIONS:On these bases, and assisted by the information on the well-established chlorpromazine toxicity and dosage in humans, we designed a Phase II clinical trial involving the combination of chlorpromazine with the standard treatment, temozolomide, in the adjuvant phase of the therapeutic protocol. Patients displaying hypo-methylation of the MGMT gene, and thus intrinsically resistant to temozolomide, will be enrolled. The endpoints of this study are the analysis of toxicity and clinical activity, as evaluated in terms of Progression-Free Survival, of the association of chlorpromazine with the first-line treatment for this very serious form of cancer.
