Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the prognostic impact of concomitant carcinoma in situ in radical cystectomy specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis using MEDLINE®, Scopus®, Web of Science™ and The Cochrane Library to identify eligible studies published until October 2017. Studies were eligible for analysis if they compared patients with concomitant carcinoma in situ in radical cystectomy specimens for bladder cancer to patients without concomitant carcinoma in situ to determine its value to prognosticate overall mortality, recurrence-free survival, cancer specific mortality and ureteral involvement using multivariable analysis. The protocol for this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, CRD42018086539) and is available in full on the University of York website. RESULTS Overall 23 studies published between 2006 and 2017 including a total of 20,647 patients were selected for the systematic review and meta-analysis. Concomitant carcinoma in situ was reported in 39.4% of radical cystectomy specimens. In studies analyzing all patients the presence of concomitant carcinoma in situ was not associated with overall mortality (pooled HR 0.92, 0.77-1.10), recurrence-free survival (pooled HR 1.06, 0.99-1.13) or cancer specific mortality (pooled HR 1.00, 0.93-1.07). It was associated with ureteral involvement (pooled OR 4.51, 2.59-7.84). On subanalysis of studies restricted to patients with organ confined bladder cancer at radical cystectomy concomitant carcinoma in situ was associated with worse recurrence-free survival (pooled HR 1.57, 1.12-2.21) and cancer specific mortality (pooled HR 1.51, 1.001-2.280). CONCLUSIONS Concomitant carcinoma in situ is significantly associated with ureteral involvement in patients treated with radical cystectomy. In patients with organ confined disease concomitant carcinoma in situ in the radical cystectomy specimen is a prognosticator of recurrence-free survival and cancer specific mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive insulin secretion may lead to glucose dysregulation. Our aim was to identify primary (independent of insulin resistance) insulin hypersecretion in subjects with normal glucose tolerance and its role in the progression of dysglycemia. METHODS In 1,168 adults, insulin secretion rate (ISR) and β cell function were estimated by C-peptide modeling during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and an i.v. glucose tolerance test. Whole-body insulin sensitivity was measured by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. After regressing ISR on insulin sensitivity, subjects in the upper tertile of the distribution of residuals were defined as primary hypersecretors. This approach was applied to a biethnic cohort of 182 obese adolescents, who received an OGTT, a hyperglycemic, and a euglycemic clamp. RESULTS Adult hypersecretors showed older age, more familial diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, increased fat mass, and worse lipid profile compared with the rest of the cohort, despite virtually identical BMI and insulin sensitivity. Insulin secretion was increased by 53% due to enhanced (+23%) β cell glucose sensitivity. Despite the resulting hyperinsulinemia, glucose tolerance was worse in hypersecretors among both adults and adolescents, coupled with higher indices of liver insulin resistance and increased availability of gluconeogenic substrates. At the 3-year follow-up, adult hypersecretors had increased incidence of impaired glucose tolerance/type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSION Primary insulin hypersecretion, independent of insulin resistance, is associated with a worse clinical and metabolic phenotype in adults and adolescents and predicts deterioration of glucose control over time. FUNDING The relationship between insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular disease (RISC) Study was partly supported by EU grant QLG1-CT-2001-01252.

Abstract
Background: The role of lymph node dissection (LND) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is controversial. Notably, the conflicting evidence on the benefits and harms of LND is inherently linked to the lack of consensus on both anatomic templates and extent of lymphadenectomy. Herein, we provide a detailed overview of the most commonly dissected templates of LND for RCC, focusing on key anatomic landmarks and patterns of lymphatic drainage. Methods: A systematic review of the English-language literature was performed without time filters in July 2018 in accordance to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement recommendations. The primary endpoint was to summarize the most commonly dissected templates of LND according to the side of RCC. Results: Overall, 25 studies were selected for qualitative analysis. Of these, most were retrospective. The LND template was heterogeneous across studies. Indications and extent of LND were either not reported or not standardized in most series. The most commonly dissected template for right-sided tumors included hilar, paracaval, and precaval nodes, with few authors extending the dissection to the inter-aortocaval, retrocaval, common iliac or pre/paraaortic nodes. Similarly, the most commonly dissected template for left-sided tumors encompassed the renal hilar, preaortic and paraaortic nodes, with few authors reporting a systematic dissection of inter-aortocaval, retro-aortic, common iliac, or para-caval nodes. Conclusions: In light of the unpredictable renal lymphatic anatomy and the evidence from available prospective mapping studies, the extent of the most commonly dissected templates might be insufficient to catch the overall anatomic pattern of lymphatic drainage from RCC.

Abstract
Excess insulin secretion and hyperinsulinaemia contribute to the progression of type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanisms leading to insulin hypersecretion remain largely unknown. Based on our preliminary data, we examined whether triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) are independently associated with insulin secretion, and whether ethnicity/race modulates these associations. Fasting triglycerides and VLDL were measured in a multiethnic cohort of 630 non-diabetic adolescents. Insulin secretion, β-cell function parameters, insulin sensitivity and insulin clearance were estimated through a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test. Metabolic assessments were repeated after 2 years in 239 subjects. Triglycerides and triglyceride-rich VLDL (large and medium size fractions) were associated with both basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, after adjustment for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI z-score, plasma glucose, and insulin sensitivity. Ethnicity per se had an impact on lipid profile and β-cell function, but did not modulate the effect of triglycerides/VLDL on insulin secretion. At follow-up, changes in triglyceride levels were proportional to changes in insulin secretion. These findings support the hypothesis that hypertriglyceridaemia is an important stimulus for β-cell insulin release in young people under both fasting and fed conditions.

Abstract
AIM Extremes in sleep duration play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes. We examined the associations between sleep duration and sleep debt with estimates of insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. METHODS Data were derived from the European multi-centre EGIR-RISC study. Sleep duration and sleep debt were derived from a sleep questionnaire asking about sleeping time during the week and during the weekend. Insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion were estimated from a 2-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, with samples every 30 minutes. Associations between sleep duration and sleep debt with insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion, were analysed by multiple linear regression models corrected for possible confounders. RESULTS Sleep data were available in 1002 participants, 46% men, mean age 48 ± 8 years, who had an average sleep duration of 7 ± 1 hours [range 3-14] and an average sleep debt (absolute difference hours sleep weekend days minus weekdays) of 1 ± 1 hour [range 0-8]. With regard to insulin sensitivity, we observed an inverted U-shaped association between sleep duration and the Stumvoll MCR in (mL/kg/min), with a corrected β (95% CI) of 2.05 (0.8; 3.3) and for the quadratic term -0.2 (-0.3; -0.1). Similarly, a U-shaped association between sleep duration and log HOMA-IR in (µU/mL), with a corrected βs of -0.83 (-1.4; -0.24) and 0.06 (0.02; 0.10) for the quadratic term. Confounders showed an attenuating effect on the associations, while BMI mediated 60 to 91% of the association between sleep duration and insulin sensitivity. No significant associations were observed between sleep duration with insulin secretion or between sleep debt with either insulin sensitivity or insulin secretion. CONCLUSIONS Short and long sleep duration are associated with a lower insulin sensitivity, suggesting that sleep plays an important role in insulin resistance and may provide the link with development of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Increased proinsulin secretion, which characterizes type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, may be due to an intrinsic, primitive defect in proinsulin processing or be secondary to increased demand on β-cells (hyperinsulinemia secondary to insulin resistance). An alternative way to investigate the relation between relative hyperproinsulinemia and increased secretory demand is to study the dynamic changes in the proinsulin-to-insulin ratio after partial pancreatectomy, a model of acute increased β-cell workload on the remaining pancreas. To pursue this aim, patients without diabetes, scheduled for partial pancreatectomy, underwent 4-h mixed-meal tests and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps before and after surgery. After acute β-cell mass reduction, no changes were observed in the fasting proinsulin-to-insulin ratio, whereas the fold change in the proinsulin-to-insulin ratio significantly increased over time after the meal. Further, our data demonstrate that whole-body insulin resistance is associated with underlying defects in proinsulin secretion, which become detectable only in the presence of increased insulin secretion demand.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tumor enucleation has been shown to be oncologically safe for elective treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC); yet, evidence on long-term oncologic outcomes after robotic tumor enucleation is lacking. In this study we provide a detailed histopathological analysis of tumor-parenchyma interface and the long-term oncologic outcomes after robotic tumor enucleation for sporadic RCC in a high-volume referral center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We selected consecutive patients undergoing robotic tumor enucleation for sporadic RCC by experienced surgeons with at least 4 years of follow-up. Pattern of pseudocapsule (PC) invasion, thickness of healthy renal margin removed with the tumor, margin status and recurrence rate were the main study endpoints. Multivariable models evaluated independent predictors of PC invasion. RESULTS Overall, 140 patients were eligible for the study. Of these, 127 (91%) had complete data available for analysis. Median thickness of healthy renal margin was 0.57 mm (interquartile range [IQR] 0.24-103). A distinct peritumoral PC was present in 121/127 (95%) tumors with a median thickness of 0.28 mm (IQR 0.14-0.45). In 24/121 (19.8%) cases, RCC showed complete PC invasion. At multivariable analysis, increasing tumor diameter, endophytic rate > 50% and papillary histology were significantly associated with complete PC invasion. Positive surgical margins were reported in 3/127 (2.4%) cases. At a median follow-up of 61 months (range 48-76), one patient died due to metastatic RCC. Among patients alive at follow-up, no cases of recurrence at the enucleation site were recorded, while three cases (2.4%) of renal recurrence (elsewhere in the ipsilateral kidney) and three cases (2.4%) of systemic recurrence were found. CONCLUSIONS Distinct RCC-related features were associated with complete PC invasion. By providing a microscopic layer of healthy renal margin in almost all cases, robotic tumor enucleation achieved negative surgical margins in the vast majority of patients, even in case of complete PC invasion. At long-term follow-up, no recurrences were found at the enucleation site. Although our findings need to be confirmed by larger studies with longer follow-up, robotic tumor enucleation appears oncologically safe in experienced hands for the treatment of sporadic RCC.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Pancreatic fat accumulation may contribute to the development of beta cell dysfunction. Exercise training improves whole-body insulin sensitivity, but its effects on pancreatic fat content and beta cell dysfunction are unclear. The aim of this parallel-group randomised controlled trial was to evaluate the effects of exercise training on pancreatic fat and beta cell function in healthy and prediabetic or type 2 diabetic participants and to test whether the responses were similar regardless of baseline glucose tolerance. METHODS Using newspaper announcements, a total of 97 sedentary 40-55-year-old individuals were assessed for eligibility. Prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance) and type 2 diabetes were defined by ADA criteria. Of the screened candidates, 28 healthy men and 26 prediabetic or type 2 diabetic men and women met the inclusion criteria and were randomised into 2-week-long sprint interval or moderate-intensity continuous training programmes in a 1:1 allocation ratio using random permuted blocks. The primary outcome was pancreatic fat, which was measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. As secondary outcomes, beta cell function was studied using variables derived from OGTT, and whole-body insulin sensitivity and pancreatic fatty acid and glucose uptake were measured using positron emission tomography. The measurements were carried out at the Turku PET Centre, Finland. The analyses were based on an intention-to-treat principle. Given the nature of the intervention, blinding was not applicable. RESULTS At baseline, the group of prediabetic or type 2 diabetic men had a higher pancreatic fat content and impaired beta cell function compared with the healthy men, while glucose and fatty acid uptake into the pancreas was similar. Exercise training decreased pancreatic fat similarly in healthy (from 4.4% [3.0%, 6.1%] to 3.6% [2.4%, 5.2%] [mean, 95% CI]) and prediabetic or type 2 diabetic men (from 8.7% [6.0%, 11.9%] to 6.7% [4.4%, 9.6%]; p = 0.036 for time effect) without any changes in pancreatic substrate uptake (p ≥ 0.31 for time effect in both insulin-stimulated glucose and fasting state fatty acid uptake). In prediabetic or type 2 diabetic men and women, both exercise modes similarly improved variables describing beta cell function. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Two weeks of exercise training improves beta cell function in prediabetic or type 2 diabetic individuals and decreases pancreatic fat regardless of baseline glucose tolerance. This study shows that short-term training efficiently reduces ectopic fat within the pancreas, and exercise training may therefore reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Incretin effect-the potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin release induced by the oral vs the i.v. route-is impaired in dysglycaemic states. Despite evidence from human islet studies that NEFA interfere with incretin function, little information is available about the effect in humans. We tested the impact of acute bidirectional NEFA manipulation on the incretin effect in humans. METHODS Thirteen individuals with type 2 diabetes and ten non-diabetic volunteers had a 3 h OGTT, and, a week later, an i.v. isoglycaemic glucose infusion (ISO; OGTT matched). Both pairs of studies were repeated during an exogenous lipid infusion in the non-diabetic volunteers, and following acipimox administration (to inhibit lipolysis) in people with diabetes. Mathematical modelling of insulin secretion dynamics assessed total insulin secretion (TIS), beta cell glucose sensitivity (β-GS), glucose-induced potentiation (PGLU) and incretin-induced potentiation (PINCR); the oral glucose sensitivity index was used to estimate insulin sensitivity. RESULTS Lipid infusion increased TIS (from 61 [interquartile range 26] to 78 [31] nmol/m2 on OGTT and from 29 nmol/m2 [26] to 57 nmol/m2 [30] on ISO) and induced insulin resistance. PINCR decreased from 1.6 [1.1] to 1.3 [0.1] (p < 0.05). β-GS, PGLU and glucagon, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) responses were unaffected. Acipimox (lowering NEFA by ~55%) reduced plasma glucose and TIS and enhanced insulin sensitivity, but did not change β-GS, PINCR, PGLU or glucagon, GLP-1 or GIP responses. As the per cent difference, incretin effect was decreased in non-diabetic participants and unchanged in those with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Raising NEFA selectively impairs incretin effect and insulin sensitivity in non-diabetic individuals, while acute NEFA reduction lowers plasma glucose and enhances insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes but does not correct the impaired incretin-induced potentiation.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the physiological mechanisms leading to rapid improvement in diabetes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and specifically the contribution of the concurrent peri-operative dietary restrictions, which may also alter glucose metabolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS In order to assess the differential contributions of diet and surgery to the mechanisms leading to the rapid improvement in diabetes after RYGB we enrolled 10 patients with type 2 diabetes scheduled to undergo RYGB. All patients underwent a 10-day inpatient supervised dietary intervention equivalent to the peri-operative diet (diet-only period), followed by, after a re-equilibration (washout) period, an identical period of pair-matched diet in conjunction with RYGB (diet and RYGB period). We conducted extensive metabolic assessments during a 6-hour mixed-meal challenge test, with stable isotope glucose tracer infusion performed before and after each intervention. RESULTS Similar improvements in glucose levels, β-cell function, insulin sensitivity and post-meal hepatic insulin resistance were observed with both interventions. Both interventions led to significant reductions in fasting and postprandial acyl ghrelin. The diet-only intervention induced greater improvements in basal hepatic glucose output and post-meal gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) secretion. The diet and RYGB intervention induced significantly greater increases in post-meal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon levels. CONCLUSIONS Strict peri-operative dietary restriction is a main contributor to the rapid improvement in glucose metabolism after RYGB. The RYGB-induced changes in the incretin hormones GLP-1 and PYY probably play a major role in long-term compliance with such major dietary restrictions through central and peripheral mechanisms.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) on insulin secretion in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 patients were enrolled in this open-label, active comparator-controlled, crossover study. After a 2-week run-in period with amlodipine, the participants were assigned to receive either fimasartan (60-120 mg daily) or amlodipine (5-10 mg daily) for 16 weeks. Thereafter, they were treated with the other drug for another 16 weeks. Physical examinations and laboratory tests were performed before and after each treatment. RESULTS Blood pressure, glycated haemoglobin and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) values were similar with each treatment. Fimasartan treatment significantly increased median (range) homeostatic assessment of β-cell function values (49.9 [22.5-174.4] vs 46.9 [15.6-148.0]), area under the curve of insulin during OGTT (27 284 [9501-94 525] vs 26 818 [8112-76 704] pmol/L × min), insulinogenic index at 60 minutes (19.7 [3.0-131.2] vs 15.0 [2.4-103.8] pmol/mmol) and at 120 minutes (19.1 [1.9-85.5] vs 12.6 [-4.3-178.8] pmol/mmol) compared with those with amlodipine (all P < .05); however, acute insulin response and insulin resistance indices were similar for both agents. CONCLUSIONS Compared with amlodipine, fimasartan increased late-phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. This finding suggests that ARBs would be more beneficial in such patients compared with other classes of anti-hypertensives.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The mechanisms for improved glycemic control after bariatric surgery in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are not fully known. We hypothesized that dynamic hepatic blood responses to a mixed-meal are changed after bariatric surgery in parallel with an improvement in glucose tolerance. METHODS A total of ten morbidly obese subjects with T2D were recruited to receive a mixed-meal and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) infusion before and early after (within a median of less than three months) bariatric surgery, and hepatic blood flow and volume (HBV) were measured repeatedly with combined positron emission tomography/MRI. Ten lean non-diabetic individuals served as controls. RESULTS Bariatric surgery leads to a significant decrease in weight, accompanied with an improved β-cell function and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion, and a reduction in liver volume. Blood flow in portal vein (PV) was increased by 1.65-fold (P = 0.026) in response to a mixed-meal in subjects after surgery, while HBV decreased in all groups (P < 0.001). When the effect of GIP infusion was tested separately, no change in hepatic arterial and PV flow was observed, but HBV decreased as seen during the mixed-meal test. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Early after bariatric surgery, PV flow response to a mixed-meal is augmented, improving digestion and nutrient absorption. GIP influences the post-prandial reduction in HBV thereby diverting blood to the extrahepatic sites.

Abstract
The aim of the present review was to assess the prognostic impact of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in transurethral resection (TUR) of bladder cancer (BCa) specimens on clinical outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature from the past 10 years was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane library in August 2017. The protocol for this systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (Central Registration Depository: CRD42018084876) and is available in full on the University of York website. Overall, 33 studies (including 6194 patients) evaluating the presence of LVI at TUR were retrieved. LVI was detected in 17.3% of TUR specimens. In 19 studies, including 2941 patients with ≤cT1 stage only, LVI was detected in 15% of specimens. In patients with ≤cT1 stage, LVI at TUR of the bladder tumour (TURBT) was a significant prognostic factor for disease recurrence (pooled hazard ratio [HR] 1.97, 95% CI: 1.47-2.62) and progression (pooled HR 2.95, 95% CI: 2.11-4.13), without heterogeneity (I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.84 and I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.93, respectively). For patients with cT1-2 disease, LVI was significantly associated with upstaging at time of radical cystectomy (pooled odds ratio 2.39, 95% CI: 1.45-3.96), with heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 53.6%, P = 0.044). LVI at TURBT is a robust prognostic factor of disease recurrence and progression in non-muscle invasive BCa. Furthermore, LVI has a strong impact on upstaging in patients with organ-confined disease. The assessment of LVI should be standardized, reported, and considered for inclusion in the TNM classification system, helping clinicians in decision-making and patient counselling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is up to 60% within the first year of therapy. Accurate risk stratification is necessary for patient counselling, follow-up scheduling and individualized therapeutic decision making. Current prognostic models rely on clinicopathologic features, but their discrimination remains limited when in external cohorts. Despite intense efforts regarding the value of biomarkers in prognosticating outcomes in NMIBC, clinical utility remains suboptimal. It is clear that a single biomarker is not enough for the prediction of disease recurrence. Therefore, panels of non-redundant biomarkers have been created and integrated in clinical prognostic model further research relying on high throughput technologies is required. Areas covered: We performed a systematic research of the English-language literature on tissue biomarkers for prediction of NMIBC outcomes up to December 2017. Expert commentary: Despite the essential milestones achieved in our knowledge and understanding of the molecular biology underlying NMIBC, no biomarker has been implemented together with clinical feature in clinical practice. Integration of such biomarkers into predictive and prognostic model could, however, improve our accuracy, thereby paving the way for personalized medicine in the management of NMIBC.

Abstract
The effect of endurance exercise on enhancing insulin sensitivity and glucose flux has been well established with techniques such as the hyperinsulinemic clamp. Although informative, such techniques do not emulate the physiological postprandial state, and it remains unclear how exercise improves postprandial glycaemia. Accordingly, combining mixed-meal tolerance testing and the triple-stable isotope glucose tracer approach, glucose fluxes [rates of meal glucose appearance (Ra), disposal (Rd), and endogenous glucose production (EGP)] were determined following acute endurance exercise (1 h cycling; ~70% V̇o2max) and 4 wk of endurance training (cycling 5 days/wk). Training was associated with a modest increase in V̇o2max (~7%, P < 0.001). Postprandial glucose and insulin responses were reduced to the same extent following acute and chronic training. Interestingly, this was not accompanied by changes to rates of meal Ra, Rd, or degree of EGP suppression. Glucose clearance (Rd relative to prevailing glucose) was, however, enhanced with acute and chronic exercise. Furthermore, the duration of EGP suppression was shorter with acute and chronic exercise, with EGP returning toward fasting levels more rapidly than pretraining conditions. These findings suggest that endurance exercise influences the efficiency of the glucoregulatory system, where pretraining rates of glucose disposal and production were achieved at lower glucose and insulin levels. Notably, there was no influence of chronic training over and above that of a single exercise bout, providing further evidence that glucoregulatory benefits of endurance exercise are largely attributed to the residual effects of the last exercise bout.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an important step in bladder cancer cell dissemination. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to assess the prognostic value of LVI in radical cystectomy (RC) specimens. PATIENTS AND METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of the last 10 years was performed using the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane libraries in July 2017. The analyses were performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. RESULTS We retrieved 65 studies (including 78,107 patients) evaluating the effect of LVI on oncologic outcomes in patients treated with RC. LVI was reported in 35.4% of patients. LVI was associated with disease recurrence (pooled hazard ratio [HR] = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.45-1.70) and cancer-specific mortality (CSM) (pooled HR = 1.59; 95% CI: 1.48-1.73) in all studies regardless of tumor stage and node status (pT1-4 pN0-2). LVI was associated with recurrence and CSM in patients with node-negative bladder cancer (BC). In patients with node-negative BC, LVI rate increased and was associated with worse oncologic outcome. LVI had a lower but still significant association with disease recurrence and CSM in node-positive BC. CONCLUSIONS LVI is a strong prognostic factor of worse prognosis in patients treated with RC for bladder cancer. This association is strongest in node-negative BC, but it is also in node-positive BC. LVI should be part of all pathological reporting and could provide additional information for treatment-decision making regarding adjuvant therapy after RC.

Physiol Behav 2018; 191:123-130.

Abstract
AIMS Sleeping oxygen saturation (SaO2) and sleep stage duration have been linked with prediabetic alterations but the pathogenic pathways are not well understood. This study of insulin sensitive and resistant adults examined the effect on postprandial metabolic regulation of repeated mixed-meal challenges of different carbohydrate loading. The aim was to examine whether the relationship between lower sleeping oxygen saturation (SaO2) and poorer fasting and postprandial metabolic function may be linked with reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) duration, independent of age, sex and total adiposity. METHODS The 24 men and women, aged 25-54 years, had no diabetes or other diagnosed conditions, were evaluated with polysomnography to derive indices of SaO2 and sleep architecture. In addition, an OGTT and two 14-h serial mixed-meal tests were administered over 3 successive in-patient days. The carbohydrate content of the mixed-meals was manipulated to compare a standard-load day with a double-load day (300 vs. 600 kcal/meal). Quantitative modeling was applied to derive β-cell glucose sensitivity (β-GS), early insulin secretion rate sensitivity (ESRS), and total postprandial insulinemia (AUCINS). RESULTS Analyses showed that, for the 14-h tests, the SaO2 relationship with metabolic outcomes was associated significantly with percent time spent in REM but not SWS, independent of age, sex and total adiposity. Specifically, indirect pathways indicated that lower SaO2 was related to shorter REM duration, and shorter REM was respectively associated with higher β-GS, ESRS, and AUCINS for the 300- and 600-load days (300 kcal/meal: β = -8.68, p < .03, β = -8.54, p < .002, and β = -10.06, p < .008; 600 kcal/meal: β = -11.45, p < .003, β = -11.44, p < .001, and β = -11.00, p < .03). CONCLUSION Sleeping oxygen desaturation and diminished REM duration are associated with a metabolic pattern that reflects a compensatory adaptation of postprandial insulin metabolism accompanying preclinical diabetic risk.
