Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Should the centromeric and telomeric motifs been studied separately and taked them in to account in women with recurrent reproductive failure?
Summary answer
The results show that when the classic KIR study is performed, there is a 12,5% of AA centromeric KIR patients with reproductive failure unidentified.
What is known already
During human pregnancy, the decidua is mainly populated by NK lymphocytes that express immunoglobulin-type receptors (KIR) recognizing their HLA-C ligands from trophoblast. The objective of this study was to analyze the association of KIR-HLAC phenotypes in couples with sterility, recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), recurrent implantation failure (RIF), and fetal death (FD) in comparison with reference population and fertile control.
Study design, size, duration
It is a retrospective real-life observational study from 2015 to 2019
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The frequency of the KIR and HLA-C genes were analyzed in 397 women and their partners with reproductive failure. We compare them with 33 fertile controls and reference Spanish population.
KIR and HLA-C genotypes of the patients and controls were determined by Lifecodes Sequence-Specific Oligonucleotides (SSO) Typing KIT (Diagnostica Longwood®) performed at Centro de Transfusiones de la Comunidad de Madrid and those of controls at the Hospital Universitario Clínico San Carlos.
Main results and the role of chance
Centromeric (Cen) AA was the most frequent KIR genotype in women with unexplained RPL and RIG with respect to reference Spanish population (p = 0.001 and 0.02, respectively). Moreover, cenAA was associated with 1.51-fold risk of RPL and 1.2-fold risk of RIF. On the other hand, BB KIR showed lower risk of any reproductive failure tan non-BB KIR (0.12; p < 0.001). HLA-C1C1/C1C1 women and partner were significantly lower in RPL-Group (p < 0.001) and RIF-Group (p = 0.04). Indeed, the combination cenAA/C1C1 women with C1C1 partners were significantly higher in the control group compared with RPL (p = 0.009) and RIF (0.04) with 5-fold of successful pregnancy outcome. In our cohort, cenAA KIR was a more accurate biomarker tan classic AA KIR haplotype for RPL- and RIF-associated risk.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The fact of having stratified a lot by groups means that a small number of patients is obtained in each subgroup, which makes it more difficult to conclude the results.
Wider implications of the findings
Our study demonstrates the importance of the complete KIR genotype study, which would give us more comprehensive information on the behavior of NK cells, moreover we propose that centromeric KIR classification is superior to the KIR classical haplotypes, better identifying those patients with potential KIR-HLA-C mismatch.

Abstract
In this study we analyzed the chondrogenic potential of subpopulations of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human synovial membranes enriched for CD73, CD106, and CD271 markers. Subpopulations of human synovial membrane MSCs enriched for CD73, CD106, and CD271 markers were isolated using a cytometry sorter and characterized by flow cytometry for MSC markers. The expression of Sox9, Nanog, and Runx2 genes by these cells was measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. The chondrogenesis of each subpopulation was assessed by culturing the cells in a defined medium to produce spontaneous spheroid formation and differentiation towards chondrocyte-like cells. The examination of the spheroids by histological and immunohistochemical analyses for collagen type II (COL2), aggrecan, collagen type I (COL1), metalloprotease 13 (MMP13), and collagen type X (COLX) levels were performed to assess their chondrogenesis capacity. The adipogenesis and osteogenesis potential of each subpopulation was determined using commercial media; the resulting cells were stained with oil red O or red alizarin to test the degree of differentiation. The subpopulations had different profiles of cells positive for the MSC markers CD44, CD69, CD73, CD90, and CD105 and showed different expression levels of the genes Sox9, Nanog, and Runx2 involved in chondrogenesis, undifferentiation, and osteoblastogenesis, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that COL1, COL2, COLX, MMP13, and aggrecan were expressed in the spheroids as soon as 14 days of culture. The CD271(+) subpopulation expressed the highest levels of COL2 staining compared to the other subpopulations. CD105 and Runx2 were shown by immunohistochemistry and genetic analysis to have significantly higher expression CD271(+) subpopulation than the other subpopulations. Spheroids formed from CD271-enriched and CD73-enriched MSCs from normal human synovial membranes mimic the native cartilage extracellular matrix more closely than CD106(+) MSCs and are possible candidates for use in cartilage tissue engineering. Both cell types have potential for promoting the differentiation of MSCs into chondrocytes, presenting new possibilities for achieving intrinsic cartilage repair.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into several cell lineages, some of which can generate bone, cartilage, or adipose tissue. The presence of MSCs in the synovial membrane was recently reported. Data from comparative studies of MSCs derived from various mesenchymal tissues suggest that MSCs from synovial membranes have a superior chondrogenesis capacity. Previous chondrogenic differentiation studies have used the total population of MSCs, including cells with several MSC markers, such as CD44, CD90, CD105, or CD73. However the chondrogenic capacity of an individual population of MSCs has not been examined. Our aim was to study the chondrogenic capacity of the cellular MSC subset, CD105(+), derived from synovial membrane tissues of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and normal donors. The tissues were digested with a cocktail of collagenase/dispase and the isolated MSCs were seeded into plates. The subpopulation of CD105(+)-MSCs was separated using a magnetic separator. The MSCs were then differentiated towards chondrocyte-like cells using a specific medium to promote spheroid formation. Spheroids were collected after 14, 28, and 46 days in chondrogenic medium and stained with hematoxylin, eosin, Safranin O or Alcian blue to evaluate the extracellular matrix. Immunohistochemistry was performed to study collagen types I (COLI) and II (COLII) and aggrecan expression. Phenotypic characterization of the isolated CD105(+)-MSCs shows that these cells are also positive for CD90 and CD44, but negatives for CD34 and CD45. In addition, this cellular subset expressed Sox-9. Spheroids appeared after 7 days in culture in the presence of chondrogenic medium. Our studies show no differences between MSCs obtained from OA and normal synovial membranes during chondrogenesis. The morphological analysis of spheroids revealed characteristics typical of chondrocyte cells. The intensity of Safranin O, Alcian blue and aggrecan staining was positive and constant throughout the culture period. However, the intensity of COL2 staining was higher at 28 days (84.29 +/- 0.1 U) than at 46 days (61.28 +/- 01 U), while COL1 staining was not detected in any samples analyzed. These results were confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assays. We conclude that the cellular subset of CD105(+)-MSCs has chondrogenic capacity. The study also show the similar chondrogenic capacity of CD105(+)-MSCs cultured from normal and OA synovial membranes.

Abstract
Diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease have a high mortality rate. A combined kidney-pancreas transplant is associated with greater life expectancy. Pancreas islet transplantation is an alternative involving a lower degree of morbidity. We present two patients, of 41 and 37 years of age, with a long history of diabetes mellitus (C-peptide negative), both with a previous kidney transplant, who had been treated with 22 and 28 U of insulin/d, respectively. Both patients had frequent episodes of unawareness hypoglycemia. Pancreatic islets were infused to a total of 7809 and 19,180 IE/kg, respectively. Basal posttransplant C peptide levels were 2.9 and 1.3 ng/mL. After the implant, one patient required occasional doses of insulin, and the other patient more than 50% reduced dose. After the first implant neither patient had any episodes of unawareness hypoglycemia. HbA1c at 4 months were 6.2% and 6.9%. There were no transplant-related complications.

Abstract
We analyzed preoperative factors related to postoperative mortality after liver transplantation among a cohort of 268 consecutive liver transplant patients over 6 years. We studied the impact of 10 recipient variables, 14 donor features, and three operative aspects. We also studied the correlation with death and survival using various predictive scores (Child, Cordoba Score, MELD, and UCLA). Univariate analysis showed that the factors with a significant association with postoperative mortality were the use of noradrenaline in the donor, total ischemia time (>12 hours), and transplant indication (hepatitis C virus versus the rest). Multivariate analysis of mortality showed the impact of female donor sex, recipients over >60 years, recipient albumin less than 2.8, and total graft ischemia time more than 12 hours. Univariate analysis of 1-year survival showed a statistically significant relation with D/R gender similarity, as well as donor GOT (>170) and GPT (>140) values. Multivariate analysis of 1-year survival showed donor GOT (>170) and donor/recipient gender similarity to be significant. Concerning the prediction models, Child-Pugh (AB versus C) best determined postoperative mortality (P < .006), MELD was predictive of 1-year survival (P < .03). The most important variables related to postoperative mortality were total ischemia time over 12 hours, recipient albumin less than 2.8, and age above 60 years. The variable with most impact on 1-year survival was the degree of graft hepatocyte lesion as determined by GOT. The Child-Pugh system is still the best indicator of postoperative mortality, although MELD may also be a good predictor of survival.

Abstract
Emergence of multiple bilateral renal cysts observed in patients undergoing periodic haemodialysis is 40%. The pathology, known as Acquired Cystic Renal Disease (A.C.R.D.) presents a high association to renal cancer. Two cases of A.C.R.D. and their association with hypernephroma, one resulting in secondary retroperitoneal haemorrhage and the other in intracystic haemorrhage, are presented. Forms and diagnosis are analyzed, insisting upon the need of monitoring the patients in haemodialysis from the point of view of tumour emergence.

Abstract
An asymptomatic case of cystic renal carcinoma is presented. The only diagnosis of certainty was given by a marked increase in L.D.H. levels in the fluid of the tumor after puncture. The pros and cons of imaging studies, and the relative lack of value of aspiration cytology when negative results are encountered are discussed. The pathological anatomical findings of the nephrectomy sample certified the diagnosis, showing the presence of a pseudocystic adenocarcinoma due to intratumor necrosis.

Abstract
To determine the mechanism responsible for deficient carbohydrate metabolism in patients with insulinoma, we studied three affected patients and seven normal controls using the hyperglycaemic clamp method (8.4 mmol/l) with the BIOSTATOR (GCIIS). In insulinoma patients, the amount of glucose necessary to reach the hyperglycaemic clamp was less than that required in normal controls (6.19 +/- 1.19 mg/min/kg vs. 9.95 +/- 0.53 mg/min/kg) (p less than 0.05). There was no significant difference in metabolized glucose (M) in the stable phase of the hyperglycaemic clamp; however, the M/IRI in this phase was less in those with insulinoma (7.9 +/- 0.50) than in controls (22.26 +/- 4.14) (p less than 0.05). There was no difference in beta cell secretory response to hyperglycaemic stimulus (defined as the increase in the concentration of C-peptide from the basal state to the stable phase of the hyperglycaemic clamp) between the two groups. Hepatic insulin extraction was significantly lower in patients with insulinoma than in normal controls (+0.72 +/- 0.07 vs. +0.85 +/- 0.01). Finally, the ratios of fractional turnover of glucose (K/IRI); glucose clearance/IRI and total rate of elimination of glucose from the extracellular pool/IRI were also all lower in patients with insulinoma than in controls (p less than 0.05). These data support the conclusion that deficient glucose metabolism seen in these patients is not related to a lack of response to glucose on the part of normal or neoplastic islet tissue.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Elevated levels of growth hormone (GH) alter both the glucose tolerance and the sensitivity of peripheral tissue to insulin. We have studied the relationship between impaired glucose metabolism and its variations with different plasma levels of endogenous GH in one patient with acromegaly. To do so, we studied the decline in blood glucose concentration, as induced by iv insulin infusion, from a given hyperglycaemic level. With high levels of GH (GH = 120 micrograms/l), the slope of the straight line representing the decrease in blood glucose after insulin infusion was -0.71, the time required to achieve normoglycaemic levels, 270 min, and the corrected area under the curve representing blood glucose 26 070 units2. After 10 months' bromocriptine treatment, GH plasma concentration fell to 8 micrograms/l, at which point the slope of the straight line was -1.40, the time required to achieve normoglycaemic levels 115 min, and the area under the curve 8956 units2. There was a greater total clearance of glucose when GH levels were lower (1.90 vs 1.00 ml/min/kg), as well as greater elimination of glucose from the extracellular glucose pool (4.02 vs 1.67 mg/min/kg). In conclusion, in this patient the elevated plasma levels of endogenous GH induced insulin resistance. Once GH levels were reduced by the administration of bromocriptine, glucose metabolism improved.

Abstract
A 5-year-old child was operated on for aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT). Postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed obliteration of the aortic end of the tunnel, normalization of systemic pressure and mild residual aortic valvular insufficiency. A review of the literature carefully considers the anatomical and clinical findings from previous reports involving 27 other patients, along with suggestions for appropriate surgical management of ALVT.
