Abstract
Background The impact of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) utilization and resource consumption among long-stay patients has not been characterized recently. This study aimed to describe the resource consumption and characteristics of long-stay patients in a PICU. Methods This was a single-center descriptive cohort study of 1309 patients admitted to a PICU in 2017. The main outcome was ICU length of stay (LOS). Patients were divided into prolonged LOS (PLS) and non-PLS groups if they had an LOS of ≥ 28 or < 28 days, respectively. Two groups were compared to characterize PLS. Results Thirty-two (2.4%) patients had a PLS and utilized 33% of PICU bed days. Factors associated with PLS with odds ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] were being a neonate (7.8 [2.5-25.4], p = <0.001), being an infant (2.9 [1.0-9.0], p = 0.04), admission for a respiratory ailment (7.3 [1.6-44.2], p = 0.003), cardiovascular dysfunction (24.1 [4.8-152.1], p = <0.001), post-cardiac operation (8.0 [1.7-50.1], p = 0.003), post-cardiopulmonary arrest (22.8 [1.7-211.9], p = 0.01), and transfer from another facility (4.2 [1.8-10.7], p = 0.001). PLS patients developed more nosocomial infections and disproportionately received monitoring and therapeutic resources. Conclusions A PLS was associated with substantial PICU utilization and complication rates. Future studies should aim to alleviate both institutional and patient-related issues in the affected population harboring possible risk factors for PLS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: TNBC molecular subtype classification updated by Lehmann et al. includes 4 subtypes: basal-like 1 and 2 (BL1), (BL2), mesenchymal (M), and luminal androgen receptor (LAR), and as a modifier of these subtypes, an Immunomodulatory (IM) gene expression signature. However, molecular subtypes have not been linked to morphological features of TNBC. Apocrine carcinoma has been proposed as a TNBC category that expresses androgen receptor. LAR-subtype TNBC has a poor response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST). We hypothesized that defining the apocrine-featured TNBC by morphology and molecular subtype predict the prognosis of patients with residual disease after NST. Methods: We created the Pan-Pacific TNBC Consortium dataset, which contains paired samples of matched pre and post-NST TNBC tumors from 4 institutions. All patients received NST and didn't have a pathological complete response (pCR). Three pathologists examined hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides of 86 pre-NST samples and determined (1) the presence of apocrine differentiation, (2) the level of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), (3) the histological grade (HG), and (4) the rate of necrosis. These morphological features were compared among the subtypes. For a sample to be considered apocrine positive, apocrine differentiation had to be identified by 2 or more pathologists. Fisher's exact test was used to test the association of subtypes and morphological features. The log-rank test was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS). Results: Twelve of 24 (50%) apocrine-positive tumor samples were LAR subtype, and12 of 17 (70%) LAR-subtype tumor samples exhibited apocrine differentiation. The other subtypes showed following: BL1, 11/44 (25%); BL2, 0/7 (0%); M, 1/10 (10%); unclassified, 0/8 (0%). The median follow-up time was 22 months. In all populations, 2-year DFS rates were higher in patients with apocrine-positive tumors than in those whose tumors did not exhibit apocrine differentiation (P = .027; 2-year DFS, 85% vs 54%). The LAR subtype was also associated with lower HG, although LAR tumors had a similar prognosis to the other subtypes. In the combined analysis of subtypes and apocrine differentiation, patients with apocrine-positive LAR tumors had a higher 2-year DFS rate than did those with apocrine-negative LAR tumors (P = .044; 2-year DFS, 88% vs. 30%). However, patients with apocrine-positive BL1 tumors had no better DFS than did those with apocrine-negative BL1 tumors (P = .133). TIL levels and the presence of the IM signature were positively associated (P = .01), and apocrine differentiation positivity tended to be negatively associated with TIL level (P = .06). Neither TIL level nor IM signature was associated with survival. Conclusion: Apocrine differentiation was associated with the LAR subtype of TNBC and better prognosis in patients who did not have a pCR. The LAR subtype alone did not predict DFS; however, LAR tumors with apocrine differentiation had a better prognosis than did LAR tumors without apocrine differentiation. Using a combination of morphologic and genomic testing may be helpful in determining the prognosis of patients with apocrine-positive TNBC tumors who have residual disease after NST.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary wedge resection is an option for lung cancer patients with limited cardiopulmonary preservation. As the impact of underlying lung status on the prognosis of such patients remains unclear, we assessed this issue. METHODS A total of 149 borderline surgical candidates with localized lung cancer who had undergone wedge resection were retrospectively investigated. Clinical variables related to perioperative morbidity, local control rate, and oncological outcomes based on underlying lung disease were analyzed. RESULTS According to the risk analysis of postoperative complications, underlying lung disease did not influence the surgical morbidity. Postoperative recurrence occurred in 65 patients (locoregional recurrence in 36, distant metastasis in 12, and both simultaneously in 17). Multivariate analysis revealed that emphysema on computed tomography (CT) [hazard ratio (HR) 0.45; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.21-0.99] was an independent indicator of locoregional recurrence. Forty-four patients died of lung cancer and 29 of other causes. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that interstitial lung disease on CT (HR 1.98; 95% CI 1.01-3.89) was a predictor of poor prognosis. CONCLUSION Pulmonary wedge resection can be safely undergone by lung cancer patients regardless of pulmonary comorbidity, although underlying lung disease may influence the prognosis after wedge resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrapulmonary lymph nodes (IPLNs) are often recognized as sub-centimeter solid pulmonary nodules (SCPNs). The present study investigated their clinical and pathological characteristics to allow clinicians to distinguish them from malignant nodules. METHODS Among 194 SCPNs surgically resected between 2006 and 2016, 26 IPLNs were investigated histopathologically. In addition, 145 resected malignant SCPNs were compared radiographically with the 26 IPLNs. RESULTS Radiographically, most IPLNs were in a middle or lower lobe, and all lesions were within 20 mm of the visceral pleura. Enlargement was seen in one lesion. Three lesions demonstrated linear density contiguous to pleura (LD), and 13 lesions were adjacent to the peripheral pulmonary vein (APV). Microscopically, all IPLNs showed adjacency to pulmonary veins, 23 showed interlobular septa extending from the IPLN, and 18 were surrounded by a dilatated lymphoid channel. Radiographical findings of LD and APV were also seen in malignant SCPNs (LD, 12/145; APV, 25/145). Comparative analysis revealed that enlargement and APV were significant predictors differentiating IPLNs from malignant SCPNs. The sensitivity/specificity of enlargement and APV were 92%/92% and 17%/50%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS IPLNs show typical high-resolution computed tomography findings that reflect their histopathological characteristics. Such findings help identify IPLNs prior to surgery. Specifically, enlargement and APV may differentiate IPLNs from malignant SCPNs. However, atypical cases are also possible, and radiological findings are not specific for differentiating IPLNs from malignant lesions. Thus, clinicians should consider surgical exploration when diagnosing SCPNs.

Abstract
SummaryA platelet glycoprotein lb-binding protein (GPIb-BP) was isolated from the snake venom of Bothrops jararaca. Jararaca GPIb-BP showed a single band with Mr of 30,000, and two distinct bands with Mr. of 17,000/13,000 under non-reducing and reducing conditions, respectively, on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Jararaca GPIb-BP itself induced neither platelet aggregation nor serotonin release from platelets, but specifically bound to GPIb (40,629 ± 2,521 molecules per normal platelet, with Kd 39.1 ± 2.4 nM at saturation). The purified venom protein completely inhibited ristocetin- or botrocetin-induccd von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding, and blocked the bovine vWF binding to GPIb, with IC50 values ranging from 28 to 42 nM, without affecting the platelet aggregation induced by ADP or α-thrombin. 1251-jararaca GPIb-BP binding to GPIb was not altered by the presence of human α-thrombin. Jararaca GPIb-BP at a final concentration of 104 nM totally abolished vWF-dependent shear- induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) at a high shear stress, but had no effect on SIPA at a low shear stress. Reduced and S-carboxyamidomethylated jararaca GPIb-BP lost its inhibitory activity on SIPA. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of the subunits revealed a high degree of homology with those of several Ca2+-dependent lectins, especially to those of two functionally opposite venom proteins, botrocetin (a vWF-modulator) and alboaggregin-B (a GPIb- modulator).

Abstract
SummaryWe have recently shown the existence of two distinct forms of botrocetin (one-chain and two-chain), and demonstrated that the two-chain species is approximately 30 times more active than the one-chain in promoting von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding to platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib. The N-terminal sequence of two-chain botrocetin is highly homologous to sea-urchin Echinoidin and other Ca2+-dependent lectins (Fujimura et al., Biochemistry 1991; 30: 1957–64).Present data indicate that purified two-chain botrocetin binds to vWF from plasmas of patients with type IIA or IIB von Willebrand disease and its interaction is indistinguishable from that with vWF from normal individuals. However, an “activated complex” formed between botrocetin and IIB vWF expresses an enhanced biological activity for binding to GP Ib whereas the complex with IIA vWF has a decreased binding activity. Among several anti-vWF monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) which inhibit ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation and/or vWF binding to GPIb, only two MoAbs (NMC-4 and RFF-VIII RAG:1) abolished direct binding between purified botrocetin and vWF. This suggests that they recognize an epitope(s) on the vWF molecule in close proximity to the botrocetin binding site.

Abstract
Assessment of regional pulmonary perfusion as well as nodule and tumor perfusions in various pulmonary diseases are currently performed by means of nuclear medicine studies requiring radioactive macroaggregates, dual-energy computed tomography (CT), and dynamic first-pass contrast-enhanced perfusion CT techniques and unenhanced and dynamic first-pass contrast enhanced perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as time-resolved three-dimensional or four-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Perfusion scintigraphy, single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) and SPECT fused with CT have been established as clinically available scintigraphic methods; however, they are limited by perfusion information with poor spatial resolution and other shortcomings. Although positron emission tomography with 15O water can measure absolute pulmonary perfusion, it requires a cyclotron for generation of a tracer with an extremely short half-life (2 min), and can only be performed for academic purposes. Therefore, clinicians are concentrating their efforts on the application of CT-based and MRI-based quantitative and qualitative perfusion assessment to various pulmonary diseases. This review article covers 1) the basics of dual-energy CT and dynamic first-pass contrast-enhanced perfusion CT techniques, 2) the basics of time-resolved contrast-enhanced MRA and dynamic first-pass contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI, and 3) clinical applications of contrast-enhanced CT- and MRI-based perfusion assessment for patients with pulmonary nodule, lung cancer, and pulmonary vascular diseases. We believe that these new techniques can be useful in routine clinical practice for not only thoracic oncology patients, but also patients with different pulmonary vascular diseases.
