Abstract
Acne in adult females is triggered mainly by hormones. Doxycycline is a reference treatment in acne. Spironolactone targets the androgen receptor of sebaceous glands and is prescribed off-label for female adult acne. This multicentre, controlled, randomized, double-blind prospective and parallel study assessed the efficacy of spironolactone compared with doxycycline in adult female acne. A total of 133 women with moderate acne were randomized to receive treatment with: (i) doxycycline and benzoyl peroxide for 3 months followed by a 3-month treatment with its placebo and benzoyl peroxide, or (ii) spironolactone and benzoyl peroxide for 6 months. Successfully treated patients continued with benzoyl peroxide or spironolactone alone for a further 6 months. Primary endpoints were treatment success at month 4 and month 6 with the AFAST score. At all visits, the ECLA score, lesion counts, local and systemic safety and quality of life were assessed. Spironolactone performed better at month 4 and showed a statistically significant better treatment success after 6 months than doxycycline (p = 0.007). Spironolactone was 1.37-times and 2.87-times more successful compared with doxycycline at respective time-points. AFAST and ECLA scores, as well as lesion counts always improved more with spironolactone. Patients' quality of life was better with spironolactone at month 4 and month 6. Spironolactone was very well tolerated. This is the first study to show that, in female adults with moderate acne, treatment with spironolactone is significantly more successful than doxycycline and very well tolerated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lentigo maligna (LM) is a melanocytic proliferation occurring on photo-exposed skin that may progress to LM melanoma. Surgery is recommended as first-line treatment. Excision margins of 5-10 mm remain, without international consensus. Several studies have shown that imiquimod, an immunomodulator, induces LM regression. This study investigated the effect of imiquimod versus placebo in neoadjuvant settings. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective, randomized, multicentre, phase III clinical study. Patients were randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive imiquimod or placebo for 4 weeks, followed by LM excision 4 weeks after the last application of imiquimod or placebo. The primary endpoint was extra-lesional excision, with a 5 mm margin from the residual pigmentation after imiquimod or vehicle. Secondary endpoints included the gain on the surface removed between the two groups; number of revision surgeries to obtain extra-lesional excisions; relapse-free time; and number of complete remissions after treatment. RESULTS A total of 283 patients participated in this study; 247 patients, 121 patients in the placebo group and 126 in the imiquimod group, accounted for the modified ITT population. The first extralesional extirpation was performed in 116 (92%) imiquimod patients and in 102 (84%) placebo patients; the difference was not significant (p = 0.0743). Regarding the surface of LM, imiquimod reduced the LM surface (4.6-3.1 cm2 ) significantly (p < 0.001) more compared to the placebo (3.9-4.1 cm2 ). CONCLUSION Imiquimod reduces the lentigo maligna surface after 1 month of treatment, without a higher risk of intralesional excision and with a positive aesthetic outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the percentage of coronary angiography that can be securely avoided by the interpretation of coronary arteries on pre transcatheter aortic valve implantation CT (TAVI-CT), using CT images obtained with deep-learning reconstruction and motion correction algorithms. MATERIAL AND METHOD All consecutive patients who underwent TAVI-CT and coronary angiography, from December 2021 to July 2022 were screened for inclusion in the study. Patients who had previous coronary artery revascularization or who did not undergo TAVI were excluded. All TAVI-CT examinations were obtained using deep-learning reconstruction and motion correction algorithms. On TAVI-CT examinations, quality and stenosis of coronary artery were analyzed retrospectively. When insufficient image quality and/or when diagnosis or doubt of one significant coronary artery stenosis, patients were considered as having possible coronary artery stenosis. The results of coronary angiography were used as the standard of reference for significant CAS. RESULTS A total of 206 patients (92 men; mean age, 80.6 years) were included; of these 27/206 (13%) had significant coronary artery stenosis on coronary angiography and were referred for potential revascularization. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and accuracy of TAVI-CT to identify patients requiring coronary artery revascularization was 100% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 87.2-100%), 100% (95% CI: 96.3-100%), 54% (95% CI: 46.6-61.6), 25% (95% CI: 17.0-34.0%) and 60% (95% CI: 53.1-66.9%) respectively. Intra- and inter observer variability was substantial agreement for quality and decision to recommend coronary angiography. Mean reading time was 2 ± 1.2 (standard deviation) min (range: 1-5 min). Overall, TAVI-CT could potentially rule out indication for revascularization for 97 patients (47%). CONCLUSION Analysis of coronary artery on TAVI-CT using deep-learning reconstruction and motion correction algorithms can potentially safely avoid coronary angiography in 47% of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advent of targeted therapies and immunotherapies has revolutionized metastatic melanoma (MM) management but their use is associated with high daily costs compared to chemotherapies: €2 for dacarbazine versus €175 for immunotherapies and €413 for targeted therapies. While overall survival (OS) has increased, healthcare expenditures are expected to double by 2030. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to estimate the median OS and costs for MM patients in order to evaluate the effectiveness of new biological or targeted therapies (NT) used since 2013 compared to chemotherapies. MATERIALS & METHODS This was a retrospective monocentric cost-effectiveness analysis performed in CHU Nantes (Nantes University Hospital). All MM patients treated with conventional chemotherapy as first-line treatment between 2008 and 2012 were included (CHEMO group). The same number of patients treated with NT as first-line between 2013 and 2017 were included (NT group). RESULTS In total, 161 patients were included in each group. The mean age at diagnosis was 64.7±2.4 years in the CHEMO group and 65.3±2.4 years in the NT group (not significant). The men/women ratio was 1.48 and 1.27, respectively, (not significant). The median OS was 158 days in the CHEMO group and 395 days in the NT group (p<0.001). Treatment cost was €10,280/patient versus €94,676/patient, respectively. The mean incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was €90,184/LY (95% CI: €59,637; €166,395). CONCLUSION Our study assessed clinical and economic features associated with MM management before and after the advent of NT. Costs and life expectancy have increased. NT appears to be cost-effective.

Abstract
Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective technique to treat patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease. The surgical procedure of DBS implantation is generally performed under local anesthesia due to the need for intraoperative clinical testing. However, this procedure is long (5–7 h on average) and, therefore, the objective that the patient remains co-operative and tolerates the intervention well is a real challenge. Objective: To evaluate the additional benefit of electroacupuncture (EA) performed intraoperatively to improve the comfort of parkinsonian patients during surgical DBS implantation. Methods: This single-center randomized study compared two groups of patients. In the first group, DBS implantation was performed under local anesthesia alone, while the second group received EA in addition. The patients were evaluated preoperatively, during the different stages of the surgery, and 2 days after surgery, using the 9-item Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), including a total sum score and physical and emotional subscores. Results: The data of nine patients were analyzed in each group. Although pain and tiredness increased in both groups after placement of the stereotactic frame, the ESAS item “lack of appetite”, as well as the ESAS total score and physical subscore increased after completion of the first burr hole until the end of the surgical procedure in the control group only. ESAS total score and physical subscore were significantly higher at the end of the intervention in the control group compared to the EA group. After the surgical intervention (D2), anxiety and ESAS emotional subscore were improved in both groups, but the feeling of wellbeing improved in the EA group only. Finally, one patient developed delirium during the intervention and none in the EA group. Discussion: This study shows that intraoperative electroacupuncture significantly improves the tolerance of DBS surgery in parkinsonian patients. This easy-to-perform procedure could be fruitfully added in clinical practice.

Abstract
Motivation The principle of Breiman's random forest (RF) is to build and assemble complementary classification trees in a way that maximizes their variability. We propose a new type of random forest that disobeys Breiman’s principles and involves building trees with no classification errors in very large quantities. We used a new type of decision tree that uses a neuron at each node as well as an in-innovative half Christmas tree structure. With these new RFs, we developed a score, based on a family of ten new statistical information criteria, called Nguyen information criteria (NICs), to evaluate the predictive qualities of features in three dimensions. Results The first NIC allowed the Akaike information criterion to be minimized more quickly than data obtained with the Gini index when the features were introduced in a logistic regression model. The selected features based on the NICScore showed a slight advantage compared to the support vector machines—recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) method. We demonstrate that the inclusion of artificial neurons in tree nodes allows a large number of classifiers in the same node to be taken into account simultaneously and results in perfect trees without classification errors. Availability and implementation The methods used to build the perfect trees in this article were implemented in the ‘ROP’ R package, archived at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROP/index.html. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted therapies such as BRAF and MEK inhibitors and immunotherapies have been made available to treat melanoma. OBJECTIVES To provide an overview of the management of the French Stage III melanoma population after complete lymph node resection prior to new adjuvant therapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A subgroup data analysis. RESULTS Data from 1,835 patients were analysed (15.58% Stage IIIA, 39.24% Stage IIIB, 43.92% Stage IIIC and 1.25% Stage IIID). Superficial spreading melanoma was the most frequent (70.98% in Stage IIIA for whom mutation analysis was performed; BRAF mutation was identified in up to 62% Stage IIIA patients). Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed in 88.46% of Stage IIIA patients, 42.36% of Stage IIIB, 53.97% of Stage IIIC and 34.78% of Stage IIID. Up to 80% of Stage IIIA patients had no adjuvant treatment follow-up. Ulceration (p = 0.004; RR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.4-6.3) and age at diagnosis (p = 0.0002; RR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02-1.06) were significant predictive factors for survival. Adjuvant interferon-α was administered in up to 13.04% of Stage IIID patients. CONCLUSION Only a small number of Stage III melanoma patients were treated with interferon-α in adjuvant settings. New adjuvant therapies are currently having an effect on clinical practice in France, increasing survival and decreasing cost.

Abstract
Background Acne vulgaris has increased in women over the past 10 years; it currently affects 20–30% of women. The physiopathology of adult female acne is distinguished from that of teenagers essentially by two factors: hormonal and inflammatory. On a therapeutic plan, the four types of systemic treatment approved for female acne include cyclines (leading to bacterial resistance); zinc salts (less effective than cyclines); and antiandrogens (risks of phlebitis). The last alternative is represented by isotretinoin, but its use in women of childbearing potential is discouraged because of the teratogen risks. In this context, spironolactone could represent an interesting alternative. It blocks the 5-alpha-reductase receptors at the sebaceous gland and inhibits luteinizing hormone (LH) production at the pituitary level. It has no isotretinoin constraints and does not lead to bacterial resistance. Currently, very few studies have been performed in a limited number of patients: the studies showed that at low doses (lower than 200 mg/day), spironolactone can be effective against acne. In that context, it is clearly of interest to perform the first double-blind randomized study of spironolactone versus cyclines, which remains the moderate acne reference treatment, and to demonstrate the superiority of spironolactone’s efficacy in order to establish it as an alternative to cyclines. Methods Two hundred female patients will be included. They must have acne vulgaris with at least 10 inflammatory lesions and no more than 3 nodules. After randomization, the patients will be treated by spironolactone or doxycycline for 3 months and after placebo. The study will be blind for the first 6 months and open for the last 6 months. Discussion The treatment frequently used in female acne is systemic antibiotics with many courses, as it is a chronic inflammatory disease. In the context of the recent World Health Organisation (WHO) revelation about the serious, worldwide threat to public health of antibiotic resistance, this trial could give the physician another alternative in the treatment of adult female acne instead of using isotretinoin, which is more complex to manage.

Abstract
This cluster randomized clinical trial compares the effect of physician notification for colorectal cancer screening and cancer detection on patients who were in a patient-specific reminders group in which physicians received a list of nonadherent patients, in a generic reminders group in which physicians received general information about regional screening adherence, or in a usual care group in which physicians received no reminders.

Abstract
e13513 Background: Predictors of paclitaxel sensitivity in breast cancer published ten years ago, are still pending. The authors showed that paclitaxel pathological complete response (pCR) was in one hand, encountered in aggressive breast tumor with immune response and in another hand, paclitaxel resistance in less aggressive tumor. We have developed a new analysis paradigm, mixing neurons into nodes of trees classification and news class of statistical information based on free-error trees classification. We proposed to reanalyze the Bauer et al’s dataset using this novel approach. Methods: GES22513 dataset including 14 duplicated observations and 54675 anonymized probes was analyzed. A random forest of one million trees whose nodes were composed of neurons including 15 probes, was developped. We selected probes for which a free-error classification was obtained and ranked them according to the inverse of the probability of being a confounding factor and to the inverse of the probability of interacting with another probe. We compared the sets of probes which were necessary to obtain an error-free classification between those associated with a decrease and those associated with an increase of the probability of pCR. Results: Our 15 best ranked predictors were free-error classification for all observations. This includes gene expression of TLCD2, BRCC3, CHI3L2 and PROX1. Their over-expressions were associated with an increase in the probability of pCR, and gene expression of APH1B, ARFGEF1, ARID2, BPGM, CAMK2N1, CCNY, PARM1, PHKA1, PSMD9, SUDS3 (two probes) whose over-expressions are associated with a decrease in the probability of pCR. Ten out of these probes were concordant with Bauer et al’s conclusion. Four probes ( BPGM, PHKA1, CCNY and ARFGEF1) are in contradiction with it. The limited biological information were available for TLCD2. The statistical analysis also showed that TLCD2, BBRCC3, CHI3L2 and PROX1 were altogether positively modulated by eight genes/probes ( CKS1B, ADIG, NCR3, RIN3, NIPAL1, 234422_at, DCLRE1C, SLC17A4). At the opposite, the modulation of genes associated with a decrease in the probability of pCR, was rather heterogeneous and involves many more genes. Conclusions: This preliminary work shows that our statistical approach allows a perfect classification of tumors with and without pCR. Also, it proves that the selected probes/genes are respectively associated with aggressiveness/basal and less aggressiveness/luminal phenotypes. These results need to be validated on an independent cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wound repair is one of the most complex biological processes of human life. Allogeneic cell-based engineered skin substitutes provide off-the-shelf temporary wound coverage and act as biologically active dressings, releasing growth factors, cytokines and extracellular matrix components essential for proper wound healing. However, they are susceptible to immune rejection and this is their major weakness. Thanks to their low immunogenicity and high effectiveness in regeneration, fetal skin cells represent an attractive alternative to the commonly used autologous and allogeneic skin grafts. METHODS/DESIGN We developed a new dressing comprising a collagen matrix seeded with a specific ratio of active fetal fibroblasts and keratinocytes. These produce a variety of healing growth factors and cytokines which will increase the speed of wound healing and induce an immunotolerant state, with a slight inflammatory reaction and a reduction in pain. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the use of this biological dressing for wound healing at the split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor site, reduces the time to healing, decreases other co-morbidities, such as pain, and improves the appearance of the scar. This investigation will be conducted as part of a randomized study comparing our new biological dressing with a conventional treatment in a single patient, thus avoiding the factors that may influence the healing of a graft donor site. DISCUSSION This clinical trial should enable the development of a new strategy for STSG donor-wound healing based on a regenerative dressing. The pain experienced in the first few days of STSG healing is well known due to the exposure of sensory nerve endings. Reducing this pain will also reduce analgesic drug intake and the duration of sick leave. Our biological dressing will meet the essential need of surgeons to "re-crop" from existing donor sites, e.g., for thermal-burn patients. By accelerating healing, improving the appearance of the scar and reducing pain, we hope to improve the conditions of treatment for skin grafts.

Abstract
Prognostic biomarkers for patients with melanoma after lymph node resection are of clinical relevance and could thus enable the identification of patients who therefore would most benefit from adjuvant treatment. The aim of this work was to determine, using an in vitro model, whether immune-related biomarkers, such as MHC-class I and II, melanoma-associated antigens, IDO1 and PD-L1, could also be relevant to predict the risk of relapse of patients with stage III melanoma after lymph node resection. We established tumor cell lines from metastatic lymph nodes of 50 patients with melanoma. The expression of investigated biomarkers was determined on untreated and IFN-γ treated melanoma cell lines using flow cytometry. Among the selected biomarkers, the IFN-γ-induced expression of PD-L1 and IDO1 was associated with an increased risk of relapse (P = .0001 and P = .013, respectively) and was also associated with death for IDO1 (P = .0005). In the future, this immunologic signature could permit the identification of patients at higher risk of relapse and justifying an adjuvant treatment using immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND International guidelines recommend avoiding prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based prostate cancer screening in the elderly when life expectancy is less than 10 years. For younger men, most recommendations encourage a shared decision-making process taking into account patient comorbidities. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the performance of PSA-based prostate cancer screening in men older than 74 years and assess whether the presence (vs absence) of comorbidities was related to the performance of PSA testing in younger men aged 50 to 74 years who were eligible for screening. METHODS We analyzed data from the French national health care database (Loire-Atlantique geographic area). We reported the follow-up of two cohorts of men from April 1, 2014, to March 31, 2016: 22,480 men aged over 74 years and 98,107 men aged 50 to 74 years. We analyzed whether these patients underwent PSA testing after 2 years of follow-up and whether PSA testing performance was related to the following patient-related variables: age, low income, proxy measures indicative of major comorbidities (repeated ambulance transportation, having one of 30 chronic diseases, taking 5 or more drugs per day), or proxy measures indicative of specific comorbidities (cancer diseases, cardiovascular diseases, or psychiatric disorders). Statistical analysis was based on a multivariate mixed-effects logistic regression. RESULTS The proportion of patients who underwent a PSA-based screening test was 41.35% (9296/22,480) among men older than 74 years versus 41.05% (40,275/98,107) among men aged 50 to 74 years. The following factors were associated with less frequent PSA testing in men older than 74 years-age (odds ratio [OR] 0.89, 95% CI 0.88-0.89), low income (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.05-0.69), suffering from a chronic disease (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.76-0.88), repeated ambulance transportation (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.31-0.44), diabetes requiring insulin (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.43-0.60), dementia (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55-0.84), and antipsychotic treatment (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.51-0.75)-whereas cardiovascular drug treatment was associated with more frequent PSA testing (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.53-1.84). The following factors were associated with less frequent PSA testing in men aged 50 to 74 years-low income (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.55-0.68); nonspecific conditions related to frailty: suffering from a chronic disease (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.76-0.83), repeated ambulance transportation (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.23-0.38), or chronic treatment with 5 or more drugs (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.83-0.96); and various specific comorbidities: anticancer drug treatment (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.55-0.83), diabetes requiring insulin (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.49-0.61), and antiaggregant treatment (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.86-0.96)-whereas older age (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.07-1.08) and treatment with other cardiovascular drugs (OR 2.23, 95% CI 2.15-2.32) were associated with more frequent PSA testing. CONCLUSIONS In this study, 41.35% (9296/22,480) of French men older than 74 years had a PSA-based screening test. Although it depends on patient comorbidities, PSA testing remains inappropriate in certain populations.

Abstract
For melanoma patients, surgery is a standard treatment for locoregional skin metastasis (LSM). To assess the frequency and risk factors for positive margins after excision of LSM and their impact on patient overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). A monocentric, retrospective observational study was performed including 87 patients with LSM who had undergone surgical excision. Positive margins were found in 45% of patients after excision. After additional excision, 28% of patients still had positive margins. Interestingly, there was no difference in PFS or OS for clear margins after the first or additional excision or for margins that remained positive without additional excision. LSM size was the only identified predictive factor for positive margins. This is the first reported study investigating the frequency of, and risk factors for positive margins of cutaneous LSM, which raises the question of whether additional excision should be performed following positive margin excision.

Abstract
Nivolumab response rate is 40% in metastatic melanoma. Few studies have evaluated pre-treatment biomarkers predictive of response. The aim of this study was to identify potential peripheral blood biomarkers associated with survival in patients with advanced melanoma treated with nivolumab. All advanced melanoma cases treated with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD1) over a 3-year period in the Dermato-Oncology Department, Nantes, France were identified. For each case, 9 potential blood biomarkers were identified. Bivariate and multivariate analyses, adjusted for the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification stage, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and failure to respond to first-line therapy, were used to test the association between biomarkers and overall survival (primary outcome) or progression-free survival (secondary outcome). Increased monocyte count, leukocyte/lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were significantly associated with decreased overall survival after bivariate and multivariate analyses. Increased monocyte count was also significantly associated with decreased progression-free survival. These blood variables are easily measured and could help to predict patient response before the introduction of anti-PD1 therapy.

Abstract
Background The early diagnosis of melanoma is associated with decreased mortality. The smartphone, with its apps and the possibility of sending photographs to a dermatologist, could improve the early diagnosis of melanoma. Objective The aim of our review was to report the evidence on (1) the diagnostic performance of automated smartphone apps and store-and-forward teledermatology via a smartphone in the early detection of melanoma, (2) the impact on the patient’s medical-care course, and (3) the feasibility criteria (focusing on the modalities of picture taking, transfer of data, and time to get a reply). Methods We conducted a systematic search of PubMed for the period from January 1, 2007 (launch of the first smartphone) to November 1, 2017. Results The results of the 25 studies included 13 concentrated on store-and-forward teledermatology, and 12 analyzed automated smartphone apps. Store-and-forward teledermatology opens several new perspectives, such as it accelerates the care course (less than 10 days vs 80 days), and the related procedures were assessed in primary care populations. However, the concordance between the conclusion of a teledermatologist and the conclusion of a dermatologist who conducts a face-to-face examination depended on the study (the kappa coefficient range was .20 to .84, median κ=.60). The use of a dermoscope may improve the concordance (the kappa coefficient range was .29 to .87, median κ=.74). Regarding automated smartphone apps, the major concerns are the lack of assessment in clinical practice conditions, the lack of assessment in primary care populations, and their low sensitivity, ranging from 7% to 87% (median 69%). In this literature review, up to 20% of the photographs transmitted were of insufficient quality. The modalities of picture taking and encryption of the data were only partially reported. Conclusions The use of store-and-forward teledermatology could improve access to a dermatology consultation by optimizing the care course. Our review confirmed the absence of evidence of the safety and efficacy of automated smartphone medical apps. Further research is required to determine quality criteria, as there was major variability among the studies.

Abstract
Propionibacterium acnes, a major member of normal skin microbiota, is subdivided into 6 phylotypes: IA1, IA2, IB, IC, II and III. This study investigated P. acnes subgroups on the face and back in patients with severe acne and in healthy controls. In 71.4% of patients with severe acne, P. acnes phylotypes were identical on the face and back, whereas this was the case in only 45.5% of healthy controls. The healthy group carried phylotypes IA1 (39.1%) and II (43.4%), whereas the acne group carried a high predominance of IA1 (84.4%), especially on the back (95.6%). In addition, the single-locus sequence typing (SLST) method revealed A1 to be the predominant type on the back of patients with acne, compared with a wide diversity in the healthy group. We report here that severity of acne on the back is associated with loss of diversity of P. acnes phylotype, with a major predominance of phylotype IA1. The change in balance of cutaneous P. acnes subgroups might be an inducing factor in the activation of P. acnes, which could trigger inflammation.

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA is a promising non-invasive tool for cancer monitoring. The main objective of our work was to investigate the relationship between mutant BRAF DNA in plasma and clinical response. Thirty-eight stage IV patients with a V600 mutated BRAF melanoma were included prior to any treatment. DNA was extracted from plasma and mutant DNA was detected using the amplification-refractory mutation system method. Before the beginning of any treatment, the corresponding BRAF mutation was detected in 29 of the 38 tested plasma samples (76.3% positive per cent agreement). We observed a strong correlation between the presence of circulating mutated DNA and overall survival (OS; P=.02), and with the number of metastatic sites (P=.01). The presence of circulating mutated DNA was also strongly correlated with serum LDH activity (P<.01) and S100 protein concentration (P<.01). Finally, seven patients presented discordant BRAF status in different tumor sites. In all these patients, the test performed on ctDNA was positive, suggesting that ctDNA analysis might be less sensitive to tumor heterogeneity. Altogether, these results suggest that plasmatic mutant BRAF DNA is a prognostic factor of OS, correlated with tumor burden. In addition, it represents an interesting alternative source of DNA to detect BRAF mutations before treatment.

Abstract
Summary
Objectives:
To propose an objective approach in order to determine the number of beds required for a hospital department by considering how recruitment fluctuates over time. To compare this approach with classical bed capacity planning techniques.
Methods:
Asimulated data-based evaluation of the impact that the variability in hospital department activity produces upon the performance of methods used for determining the number of beds required. The evaluation criteria included productive efficiency measured bythe bed occupancy rate, accessibility measured by the transfer rate of patients due to lack of available beds and a proxy of clinical effectiveness, by the proportion of days during which there is no possibility forunscheduled admission.
Results:
When the variability of the number of daily patients increases, the Target Occupancy Rate favors productive efficiency at the expense of accessibility and proxy clinical effectiveness. On the contrary, when the variability of the department activity is marginal, the Target Activity Rate penalizes the proxy of clinical effectiveness, and the Target Occupancy Rate under-optimizes productive efficiency.The method we propose led to a superior performance in terms of accessibility and proxy of clinical effectiveness at the expense of productive efficiency. Such a situation is suitable for intensive care units. In the case of other departments, a weighting procedure should be used to improve productive efficiency.
Conclusions:
This approach could be considered as the first step of a family of methods for quantitative healthcare planning.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Increasing participation in fecal screening tests is a major challenge in countries that have implemented colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs. OBJECTIVE To determine whether providing general practitioners (GPs) a list of patients who are nonadherent to CRC screening enhances patient participation in fecal immunochemical testing (FIT). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A 3-group, cluster-randomized study was conducted from July 14, 2015, to July 14, 2016, on the west coast of France, with GPs in 801 practices participating and involving adult patients (50-74 years) who were at average risk of CRC and not up-to-date with CRC screening. The final follow-up date was July 14, 2016. INTERVENTIONS General practitioners were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: 496 received a list of patients who had not undergone CRC screening (patient-specific reminders group, 10 476 patients), 495 received a letter describing region-specific CRC screening adherence rates (generic reminders group, 10 606 patients), and 455 did not receive any reminders (usual care group, 10 147 patients). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary end point was patient participation in CRC screening 1 year after the intervention. RESULTS Among 1482 randomized GPs (mean age, 53.4 years; 576 women [38.9%]), 1446 participated; of the 33 044 patients of these GPs (mean age, 59.7 years; 17 949 women [54.3%]), follow-up at 1 year was available for 31 229 (94.5%). At 1 year, 24.8% (95% CI, 23.4%-26.2%) of patients in the specific reminders group, 21.7% (95% CI, 20.5%-22.8%) in the generic reminders group, and 20.6% (95% CI, 19.3%-21.8%) in the usual care group participated in the FIT screening. The between-group differences were 3.1% (95% CI, 1.3%-5.0%) for the patient-specific reminders group vs the generic reminders group, 4.2% (95% CI, 2.3%-6.2%) for the patient-specific reminders group vs the usual care group, and 1.1% (95% CI, -0.6% to 2.8%) for generic reminders group vs the usual care group. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Providing French GPs caring for adults at average risk of CRC with a list of their patients who were not up-to-date with their CRC screening resulted in a small but significant increase in patient participation in FIT screening at 1 year compared with patients who received usual care. Providing GPs with generic reminders about regional rates of CRC screening did not increase screening rates compared with usual care. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT02515344.

Abstract
Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) are important imaging techniques in multiple myeloma (MM). We conducted a prospective trial in patients with MM aimed at comparing MRI and PET-CT with respect to the detection of bone lesions at diagnosis and the prognostic value of the techniques. Patients and Methods One hundred thirty-four patients received a combination of lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) with or without autologous stem-cell transplantation, followed by lenalidomide maintenance. PET-CT and MRI were performed at diagnosis, after three cycles of RVD, and before maintenance therapy. The primary end point was the detection of bone lesions at diagnosis by MRI versus PET-CT. Secondary end points included the prognostic impact of MRI and PET-CT regarding progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results At diagnosis, MRI results were positive in 127 of 134 patients (95%), and PET-CT results were positive in 122 of 134 patients (91%; P = .33). Normalization of MRI after three cycles of RVD and before maintenance was not predictive of PFS or OS. PET-CT became normal after three cycles of RVD in 32% of the patients with a positive evaluation at baseline, and PFS was improved in this group (30-month PFS, 78.7% v 56.8%, respectively). PET-CT normalization before maintenance was described in 62% of the patients who were positive at baseline. This was associated with better PFS and OS. Extramedullary disease at diagnosis was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS, whereas PET-CT normalization before maintenance was an independent prognostic factor for PFS. Conclusion There is no difference in the detection of bone lesions at diagnosis when comparing PET-CT and MRI. PET-CT is a powerful tool to evaluate the prognosis of de novo myeloma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study objective was to measure the rates of inclusion of populations at risk of advanced melanoma in a pilot targeted screening project involving general practitioners. DESIGN This cross-sectional database study compared the inclusion rates of patients who signed inclusion in a targeted screening project with those of patients who did not, during a period in which both groups of patients consulted investigators. SETTING Data were extracted from the national healthcare insurance records in western France from 11 April to 30 October 2011. PATIENTS Patients, older than 18, considered for the data extraction had consulted one of the 78 participating GPs during the study period, and were affiliated with the national healthcare insurance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Inclusion in the screening was the main outcome measure. Patients at risk of advanced melanoma were characterized by male gender, age over 50, low income, rural residence, farmer, and presence of chronic disease. RESULTS A total of 57,279 patients consulted GPs during the inclusion period and 2711 (4.73%) were included in the targeted screening. Populations at risk of advanced melanoma were less included: men (OR = 0.67; 95%CI [0.61-0.73]; p < 0.001), older than 50 (OR = 0.67; 95%CI [0.60-0.74]; p < 0.001), low income (OR = 0.65; 95%CI [0.55-0.77]; p < 0.001), farmer (OR = 0.23; 95%CI [0.17-0.30]; p < 0.001) and presence of a chronic disease (OR = 0.87; 95%CI [0.77-0.98]; p < 0.028). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated inequalities in the inclusion of patients in a melanoma screening. Patients at risk of advanced cancer were screened less often. Further studies should focus on GPs ability to identify and screen these patients. KEY POINTS Advanced melanoma is more frequently diagnosed in men, older patients and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, which leads to survival inequalities. • Despite the involvement of general practitioners, the implementation of targeted melanoma screening did not avoid inclusion inequalities. • Men, older patients, patients suffering from chronic diseases, and low-income patients were less likely to benefit from screening. • The display of a conventional or an alarmist poster in the waiting room did not statistically reduce these inclusion inequalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, is commonly associated with skin toxicity. The impact of severe forms is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of permanent vemurafenib discontinuation due to grade 3-4 skin toxicity, features of these toxicities, their recurrence rate after a switch to dabrafenib and their impact on overall survival. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of 131 patients treated with vemurafenib for melanoma between November 2010 and December 2014. Data on skin toxicities, the need for vemurafenib adjustment and the impact of switching to dabrafenib were collected. Regarding survival analysis, a conditional landmark analysis was performed to correct lead-time bias. RESULTS Among the 131 vemurafenib-treated patients, 26% developed grade 3-4 skin toxicity. Forty-four percent of them permanently discontinued their treatment, mainly due to rash and classic skin adverse reactions (Steven-Johnson syndrome, Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms). Conversely, photosensitivity and carcinomas rarely required treatment adjustment. Grade 3-4 rashes were associated with clinical or biological abnormalities in 94% of patients. Among the 10 patients who subsequently switched to dabrafenib, skin toxicity recurred only in one patient. Overall survival was significantly prolonged in case of severe skin toxicity emerging within the first 4 (P = 0.014) and 8 weeks (P = 0.038) on vemurafenib, with only a trend at 12 weeks (P = 0.052). Median overall survival was also prolonged in case of severe rash. CONCLUSION In this study, vemurafenib was continued in 56% of patients with grade 3-4 skin toxicity, which was associated with prolonged overall survival when emerging within the first 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. While developing severe skin adverse reactions permanently contraindicates vemurafenib use, other rashes should lead to retreatment attempts with dose reduction. In case of recurrence, dabrafenib seems to be an interesting option. For other skin toxicities, including photosensitivity and cutaneous carcinoma, treatment adjustment is usually not needed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody blocking the inhibitory molecule CTLA4 expressed by activated T lympocytes, used for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Recent studies have shown its potential efficacy on brain metastases. OBJECTIVES To assess the development of brain metastases under ipilimumab and identify clinical, histological or evolving criteria related to the appearance of these metastases. A retrospective study was conducted in 52 patients treated with 4 cycles of ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks for unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma between January 2011 and July 2013 in a Department of Dermato-Oncology. As no data has been find in the literature, the results were compared to our other cohort of patients treated with vemurafenib during the same period. Ten patients (21.7 %) developed brain metastases under ipilimumab in a median time of 6.58 months after treatment initiation. The multivariate analysis showed a lower rate of brain metastases in patients with acral lentiginous melanoma and melanoma of unknown primary site. The median survival after diagnosis of brain metastases was of 2.5 months. There was no significant difference with vemurafenib-treated patients in terms of incidence rate of brain metastasis, time of development and survival after diagnosis of cerebral metastases. This was the first study focused on the development of brain metastases under treatment with ipilimumab 3 mg/kg. Although ipilimumab is used for the treatment of brain metastases, it paradoxically did not seem to reduce the risk of developing brain metastases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of a targeted screening for melanoma in high-risk patients following the receipt of a mailed invitation to an annual skin examination by a general practitioner (GP). METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted in a primary care setting in western France. A total of 3897 patients at elevated risk of melanoma (identified using the Self-Assessment of Melanoma Risk Score) consented to participate in a targeted melanoma screening project in 2011. One year later, the participants were invited by mail to consult their GP for an annual skin examination. Efficacy of the procedure was evaluated according to patient participation and the number of melanomas detected. The consultation dates and results were collected during the 12 months postreminder and were analysed using SAS. Analyses of whether participation decreased compared with that during the year of inclusion and whether populations at risk for thick melanoma showed reduced participation in the screening were performed. RESULTS Of the 3745 patients who received the mailed invitation, 61% underwent a skin examination. The participation of patients at risk for thick melanoma (any patient over 60 years of age and men over 50 years of age) was significantly greater than that of the patients in the other subgroups (72.4% vs 49.6%, p<0.001; and 66% vs 52.4%, p<0.001, respectively). The patients referred to the dermatologist after 1 year were more compliant compared with those referred during the first year (68.8% vs 59.1%, p=0.003). Six melanomas were detected within 1 year postreminder; therefore, the incidence of melanoma in the study population was 160/100 000. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the benefits of developing a targeted screening strategy in primary care. In particular, after the annual reminder, patient participation and the diagnosis of melanoma remained high in the patients at elevated risk of thick melanomas. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01610531.

Abstract
Tumor immune escape has recently been shown to be related to the development of an immune tolerance state of the microenvironment. Cytokines activating the immune system such as IFN-γ can be used to reverse the immune escape and thus to potentiate the efficacy of immunotherapy. A clinical study was conducted in 18 stage IIIc/IV melanoma patients treated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in combination with intratumoral TG1042 injection (adenovirus expressing IFN-γ). The primary objective was to investigate the safety of treatment. Secondary objectives were to study the clinical response and translational research. The treatment was well tolerated. Among the 13 patients evaluable for tumor response, 38.5% had an overall objective response (OOR = CR + PR) and disease control rate (DCR = CR + PR + S) of 46%. The clinical response of the 37 targeted lesions led to an OOR of 51% and a DCR of 75%. Translational research on predictive markers did not significantly differ between responder and non-responder patients. However, specifically regarding injected lesions, the clinical response correlated with CD3-/CD56+ NK cells which could be activated by TG1042. Further larger studies of this combined immunotherapy are needed to confirm our findings. Intralesional TG1042 combined with antigen-selected TILs should be discussed.

Abstract
At the end of the dose escalation step of phase I trials in oncology, it is increasingly frequent to include patients in expansion cohorts. However, the objective of the expansion cohorts, the number of patients included and their justification are insufficiently explained in the protocols. These cohorts are sometimes of considerable size. The aim of this article is to outline the methodology of expansion cohorts in order to provide recommendations for their planning in practice. This work has been undertaken in collaboration with the statisticians of the early phase investigation centers (CLIP(2)), supported by INCA. First, we have outlined the recent articles published on the expansion cohorts in phase I. We then proposed recommendations, in terms of objectives and number of patients to be included, to guide investigators and facilitate the use of these expansion cohorts in practice. Manji et al. have identified 149 phase I clinical trials using expansion cohorts in oncology with a review of the literature between 2006 and 2011 (Manji et al., 2013). Objectives of the expansion cohort were reported in 111 trials (74%). In these trials, safety was the most reported objective (80% of trials), followed by efficacy (45%). According to this review, the number of patients included in these cohorts was insufficiently justified. This result was confirmed by the study of literature that we conducted over the period 2011-2014. We propose to define the number of patients to be included in expansion cohorts in terms of (1) their objectives, (2) the statistical criteria and (3) the clinical context of the trial. The toxicity study remains the primary objective to evaluate in the expansion phase. In some contexts, the activity study is considered as co-primary objective, either for identifying preliminary signs of activity in studies like screening, or for studying the activity when the target population is known. This study is then considered as phase I/II, and experience plans of phase II can be adapted for planning expansion cohorts. Recommendations for the size of expansion cohorts are proposed. Despite the exploratory character of the expansion cohort, a justification of their size based on assumptions statistically defined is recommended in order to provide an interpretable conclusion and to quantify the risk of errors.

Abstract
Context and Aims: Little is known about onset and duration of sciatic block after 0.5% levobupivacaine (Levo) versus 0.5% ropivacaine (Ropi) for ultrasound-guided technique. We assessed these parameters in the ultrasound-guided block, to know for the practice. Setting and Design: A comparative randomized double-blind study was conducted in the University Hospital. Materials and Methods: Were included 35 adults of ASA I-II, scheduled for foot surgery, presenting clear imaging of their sciatic nerve at mid-thigh. A volume of 20 mL of either 0.5% Levo or 0.5% Ropi were injected around the sciatic nerve at mid-thigh using ultrasound guidance (out of the plane) followed by placement of a catheter to use, if necessary, for perioperative analgesia. A femoral single shot block was systematically performed to block the saphenous nerve. The onset times until complete foot block (primary outcome) and the sensory and motor block duration (secondary outcome) were assessed using Wilcoxon test. Values were expressed as medians (1st-3rd quartile). Results: Except for two delayed sciatic blocks in each group, the onset time otherwise was 35 min (20-60) in Ropi versus 40 min (30-60) in Levo, P = 0.5. Sensory block lasted longer in Levo, 17 h (14-27) compared with 15 h (10-17) in Ropi, P = 0.04. No significant between-group difference was found with motor block durations, 15 h (12-18) in Levo and 15 h (12-16) in Ropi, P = 0.3. Conclusion: No difference of onset times was found in ultrasound-guided sciatic block whether using Levo or Ropi. Levo induced a longer-lasting sensory block.

Abstract
The relationship between BRAF mutations and the patient clinical profile is still under question. The objective of the present study was to correlate the BRAF mutation status in primary and metastatic melanomas with the clinicopathological profile, disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). A total of 367 melanoma samples from 278 patients were screened for their BRAF status using a combination of allele-specific amplification and DNA sequencing. Two or three tissue samples from the same patient were available for 74 patients. The clinicopathological characteristics were tested for their association with the BRAF mutation using the Fisher's or Pearson's χ2 test. Log-rank tests and Cox models were used for survival analyses. BRAF mutation was found in 152 samples (41.4%). Ten of the 74 patients with several tissue samples (13.5%) had discordant BRAF mutation results. BRAF-mutated patients were significantly younger at the time of primary melanoma and first diagnosis of metastasis than BRAF wild-type patients but with no difference in DFS and OS. According to our results, a primary melanoma with BRAF mutation is not associated with a more aggressive illness.

Abstract
PURPOSE Targeted interventions to reduce the risk and increase the early detection of melanoma have the potential to save lives. We aimed to assess the effect of such an intervention on patient prevention behavior. METHODS We conducted a pilot clustered randomized controlled trial, comparing a targeted screening and education intervention with a conventional information-based campaign in 20 private surgeries in western France. In the intervention group, 10 general practitioners identified patients at elevated risk for melanoma with a validated assessment tool, the Self-Assessment Melanoma Risk Score (SAMScore), examined their skin, and counseled them using information leaflets. In the control group, 10 general practitioners displayed a poster and the leaflets in their waiting room and examined patients' skin at their own discretion. The main outcome measures were sunbathing and skin self-examinations among patients at elevated risk, assessed 5 months later with a questionnaire. RESULTS Analyses were based on 173 patients. Compared with control patients, intervention patients were more likely to remember the campaign (81.4% vs 50.0%, P = .0001) and to correctly identify their elevated risk of melanoma (71.1% vs 42.1%, P = .001). Furthermore, intervention patients had higher levels of prevention behaviors: they were less likely to sunbathe in the summer (24.7% vs 40.8%, P = .048) and more likely to have performed skin self-examinations in the past year (52.6% vs 36.8%, P = .029). The intervention was not associated with any clear adverse effects, although there were trends whereby intervention patients were more likely to worry about melanoma and to consult their general practitioner again about the disease. CONCLUSIONS The combination of use of the SAMScore and general practitioner examination and counseling during consultations is an efficient way to promote patient behaviors that may reduce melanoma risk. Extending the duration of follow-up and demonstrating an impact on morbidity and mortality remain major issues for further research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the long-term survival and the prognostic factors of endodontic treatments performed in a dental teaching hospital. The aim was to calculate the probabilities of success or failure according to the follow-up extent and to assess the time allowed for a complete periapical healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cohort of 185 teeth were re-examined 1-4 years after treatment. The outcome was assessed on the basis of radiographic and clinical criteria as success, uncertain or failure. A survival analysis using the Cox model was used (i) to explore tooth survival and periapical healing over the time and (ii) to highlight the predictive factors of treatment outcome. RESULTS After 2 years, the appearance of an apical periodontitis remained lower than 3.5%, whereas only 22.8% of periapical healed cases were notified. The prognosis factors are: (i) for teeth with initial healthy periapical conditions, coronal leakage (p = 0.002) with the higher risk of failure (RR = 19.77), absence of correspondence filling length/shaping = 0.026), type of teeth (p = 0.041) and (ii) for teeth with apical periodontitis, number of root canals (p = 0.000,91), correspondence filling length/shaping length (p = 0.017) and over-filling (p = 0.09). New periapical lesions or tooth loss were recorded after 2 years. Half of the successful cases of periapical healing were observed during the follow-up from 2-4 years. CONCLUSIONS This longitudinal study shows that coronal leakage is responsible for late failure and that periapical healing is long to achieve. Therefore, endodontic treatments may require a follow-up of over 2 years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) has been shown to be associated with an abnormal plasticity in the motor cortex. We investigated whether changes in the excitability of inhibitory and excitatory motor circuits could underlie maladaptive mechanisms associated with dyskinesia. METHODS Using single and paired transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we studied motor threshold, silent period (SP) duration, intracortical facilitation (ICF), short intracortical inhibition (SICI) and low- and high-intensity long intracortical inhibition (LICI) in 10 dyskinetic and 10 non-dyskinetic patients, matched for disease and treatment duration, before (OFF state) and after (ON state) levodopa, and in 10 healthy controls. RESULTS In the OFF state, the two groups of patients showed similar motor cortex excitability with a reduced SICI compared to controls. LICI was weaker and increasing stimulation intensity had a lower effect on SP duration in dyskinetic patients than in controls. In dyskinetic patients, in contrast to non-dyskinetic patients, levodopa failed to increase SICI and SP duration, and potentiated to a lesser extent the effect of increasing the stimulation intensity on LICI. Although levodopa improved motor symptoms to a similar extent in both dyskinetic and non-dyskinetic patients, it failed to activate effectively the excitability of the inhibitory systems in dyskinetic patients. DISCUSSION These findings suggest that dyskinesia is associated with an abnormal effect of levodopa on cortical motor inhibitory circuits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical corticosteroids remain the mainstay of atopic dermatitis therapy. Many atopic dermatitis therapeutic failures appear to be attributable to poor adherence to treatment due to topical corticosteroid phobia. OBJECTIVES To assess the facets, origins and frequency of fear of topical corticosteroid use among patients with atopic dermatitis. METHODS A questionnaire comprising 69 items, generated from information gathered during interviews with 21 patients and 15 health professionals, was given to consecutive patients consulting at the outpatient dermatology departments of five regional university hospitals or with 53 dermatologists in private practice. RESULTS A total of 208 questionnaires were analysed (including 144 from parents and 87 from adult patients, 27 of whom were also parents); 80·7% of the respondents reported having fears about topical corticosteroids and 36% admitted nonadherence to treatment. A correlation was found between topical corticosteroid phobia and the need for reassurance, the belief that topical corticosteroids pass through the skin into the bloodstream, a prior adverse event, inconsistent information about the quantity of cream to apply, a desire to self-treat for the shortest time possible or poor treatment adherence. Topical corticosteroid phobia was not correlated with atopic dermatitis severity. CONCLUSION Topical corticosteroid phobia is a genuine and complex phenomenon, common among French patients with atopic dermatitis, that has an important impact on treatment compliance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary melanoma ulceration is a factor of poor prognosis at the local and regional stage. The physiopathological mechanisms which explain its prognostic impact are still little known. However, two recent studies suggest that it could be a predictive factor of good response to a non-specific immunotherapy (interferon-alpha) and to an active immunotherapy (vaccine). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether ulceration could be a factor of good prognosis in the context of an adoptive immunotherapy with tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in stage III regional lymph node metastatic melanoma (sixth American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system) and whether it was associated with an improvement in the effectiveness of this treatment compared with the control group. METHODS We have included all the patients treated in open prospective randomized TIL vs. control protocols in our unit from 1997 to 2009. Clinical data were derived retrospectively from patient files. Statistical analysis was performed using log-rank tests, Cox models and tests for interaction. RESULTS A total of 144 patients were included. In the group of 80 patients treated with TIL, primary melanoma ulceration remained a pejorative factor for relapse-free and overall survival in univariate and multivariate analysis. The presence of ulceration did not change the effectiveness of TIL treatment in comparison with the control group with regards to relapse-free and overall survival. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that primary melanoma ulceration does not have any impact on the response to TIL adoptive immunotherapy and thus does not confirm its positive prognostic value suggested by two other immunotherapy approaches.

Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders, characterized by the infiltration of the epidermis by mature and activated malignant CD4+ T-lymphocytes. Retinoids such as retinoic acid and synthetic analogues have long been used alone or in combination with other therapies for CTCL. Bexarotene, the first synthetic highly selective RXR retinoid, was approved for the treatment of all stages of CTCL in patients refractory to at least one systemic therapy. Recently, six cases in which the initiation of bexarotene therapy for CTCL was associated with the progression of internal disease despite improvement of cutaneous signs and symptoms were reported. Moreover, it has been established that retinoids promote the generation of CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, raising the question of an induction of regulatory T-cells by bexarotene. The aim of this work was to determine if bexarotene induces an increase of functional regulatory T cells which could play a role in the development of secondary extra-cutaneous lymphomas. Regulatory T cells were studied both in cutaneous biopsy specimens using an immunohistochemical analysis of CD4, CD25 and Foxp3 and in blood where proportion and functionality of circulating CD4+CD25(high) T-cells were determined. The study was performed in 10 patients [five patients with Sézary syndrome (SS) and five mycosis fungoïdes (MF)], treated for 6 months with bexarotene. Four healthy donors were used as controls for phenotypic and functional analysis on PBL. We found that the frequency of CD4+CD25(high) Treg cells was not significantly different before starting bexarotene and after 6 months of treatment in CTCL patients. However, we observed that the frequency of CD4+CD25(high) Treg cells before the beginning of the treatment was significantly increased compared to healthy donors. In addition, functional assays demonstrated that Foxp3 expressing CD4+CD25(high) T-cells were capable of suppressing autologous CD4 + CD25- T-cell proliferation. In the present work, we detected the presence of functional circulating CD4+CD25(high) Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells in CTCL patients, with an increased frequency compared to healthy donors. The treatment with bexarotene does not seem to affect the regulatory T-cell compartment.

Abstract
There are several approved therapies for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The retinoids are one of the major biologic response modifiers used in CTCL, producing good response rates but few complete responses. Bexarotene has been demonstrated to act on malignant T-cells by inducing their apoptosis, but nothing is known about its role on keratinocytes and Langerhans cells. Immunohistochemical analysis using CD1a, HLA-DR, ICAM-1 (activation markers), CD95 and CD40 (apoptosis markers) was conducted on frozen sections of bexarotene-exposed cutaneous explants and skin biopsy specimens from patients treated with bexarotene. None of the studied markers was significantly modulated both on cutaneous explants and on skin biopsy specimens after treatment with bexarotene, compared to controls. Langerhans cells and keratinocytes do not appear to play a central role in the therapeutic control of CTCL by bexarotene therapy. The main bexarotene's target thus remains T-cells by inducing their apoptosis, a mechanism that is different from the other retinoids used in CTCL.

Abstract
Although in theory, the differences in design between fixed-core and mobile-core prostheses should influence motion restoration, in vivo kinematic differences linked with prosthesis design remained unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the rationale that the mobile-core design seems more likely to restore physiological motion since the translation of the core could help to mimic the kinematic effects of the natural nucleus. In vivo intervertebral motion characteristics of levels implanted with the mobile-core prosthesis were compared with untreated levels of the same population, levels treated by a fixed-core prosthesis, and normal levels (data from literature). Patients had a single-level implantation at L4L5 or L5S1 including 72 levels with a mobile-core prosthesis and 33 levels with a fixed-core prosthesis. Intervertebral mobility characteristics included the range of motion (ROM), the motion distribution between flexion and extension, the prosthesis core translation (CT), and the intervertebral translation (VT). A method adapted to the implanted segments was developed to measure the VT: metal landmarks were used instead of the bony landmarks. The reliability assessment of the VT measurement method showed no difference between three observers (p < 0.001), a high level of agreement (ICC = 0.908) and an interobserver precision of 0.2 mm. Based on this accurate method, this in vivo study demonstrated that the mobile-core prosthesis replicated physiological VT at L4L5 levels but not at L5S1 levels, and that the fixed-core prosthesis did not replicate physiological VT at any level by increasing VT. As the VT decreased when the CT increased (p < 0.001) it was proven that the core mobility minimized the VT. Furthermore, some physiologic mechanical behaviors seemed to be maintained: the VT was higher at implanted the L4L5 level than at the implanted L5S1 level, and the CT appeared lower at the L4L5 level than at the L5S1 level. ROM and motion distribution were not different between the mobile-core prosthesis and the fixed-core prosthesis implanted levels. This study validated in vivo the concept that a mobile-core helps to restore some physiological mechanical characteristics of the VT at the implanted L4L5 level, but also showed that the minimizing effect of core mobility on the VT was not sufficient at the L5S1 level.

Abstract
AIMS Intracoronary administration of autologous bone marrow cells (BMCs) leads to a modest improvement in cardiac function, but the effect on myocardial viability is unknown. The aim of this randomized multicentre study was to evaluate the effect of BMC therapy on myocardial viability in patients with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to identify predictive factors for improvement of myocardial viability. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and one patients with AMI and successful reperfusion, LVEF ≤45%, and decreased myocardial viability (resting Tl201-SPECT) were randomized to either a control group (n = 49) or a BMC group (n = 52). Primary endpoint was improvement of myocardial viability 3 months after AMI. Baseline mean LVEF measured by radionuclide angiography was 36.3 ± 6.9%. Bone marrow cell infusion was performed 9.3 ± 1.7 days after AMI. Myocardial viability improved in 16/47 (34%) patients in the BMC group compared with 7/43 (16%) in the control group (P = 0.06). The number of non-viable segments becoming viable was 0.8 ± 1.1 in the control group and 1.2 ± 1.5 in the BMC group (P = 0.13). Multivariate analysis including major post-AMI prognostic factors showed a significant improvement of myocardial viability in BMC vs. control group (P = 0.03). Moreover, a significant adverse role for active smoking (P = 0.04) and a positive trend for microvascular obstruction (P = 0.07) were observed. CONCLUSION Intracoronary autologous BMC administration to patients with decreased LVEF after AMI was associated with improvement of myocardial viability in multivariate-but not in univariate-analysis. A large multicentre international trial is warranted to further document the efficacy of cardiac cell therapy and better define a group of patients that will benefit from this therapy.
