Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to describe the psychosocial adjustments according to return to work (RTW) trajectories in breast cancer survivors (BCS) using a sequential and temporal approach. METHODS We used BCS data included from February 2015 to April 2016 in the Longitudinal Study on Behavioural, Economic and Sociological Changes after Cancer (ELCCA) cohort. RTW trajectories were identified using the sequence analysis method followed by a clustering. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the EORTC quality of life questionnaire was used at inclusion and all follow-up visits to assess Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). RESULTS Fifty-two BCS were included in the study among whom four clusters of RTW trajectories were identified and labeled: slow RTW (N = 10), quick RTW (N = 27), partial RTW (N = 8), and part-time work (N = 7). Quick and slow RTW clusters showed slightly lower baseline mean levels of anxiety and higher levels of HRQoL. In the 4 years following diagnosis, BCS in the quick RTW cluster tended to report higher HRQoL in terms of functioning and less symptoms of pain and fatigue while those in the partial RTW cluster showed a lower HRQoL on almost all dimensions. All clusters showed an increase in pain and fatigue symptoms until 6 months followed by a tendency to recover baseline levels. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that BCS who return to full-time work (slow and quick RTW patterns) recover better than patients who return to part-time work (partial and part-time RTW patterns).

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is there a significant intra-individual variability of serum progesterone levels on the day of single blastocyst Hormone Replacement Therapy-Frozen Embryo Transfer (HRT-FET) between two consecutive cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER No significant intra-individual variability of serum progesterone (P) levels was noted between two consecutive HRT-FET cycles. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY In HRT-FET cycles, a minimum P level on the day of embryo transfer is necessary to optimise reproductive outcomes. In a previous study by our team, a threshold of 9.8 ng/ml serum P was identified as significantly associated with the live birth rates in single autologous blastocyst transfers under HRT using micronized vaginal progesterone (MVP). Such patients may benefit from an intensive luteal phase support (LPS) using other routes of P administration in addition to MVP. A crucial question in the way towards individualising LPS is whether serum P measurements are reproducible for a given patient in consecutive HRT-FET cycles, using the same LPS. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION We conducted an observational cohort study at the university-based reproductive medicine centre of our institution focusing on women who underwent at least two consecutive single autologous blastocyst HRT-FET cycles between January 2019 and March 2020. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Patients undergoing two consecutive single autologous blastocyst HRT-FET cycles using exogenous oestradiol and vaginal micronized progesterone for endometrial preparation were included. Serum progesterone levels were measured on the morning of the Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), by a single laboratory. The two measurements of progesterone levels performed on the day of the first (FET1) and the second FET (FET2) were compared to evaluate the intra-individual variability of serum P levels. Paired statistical analyses were performed, as appropriate. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Two hundred and sixty-four patients undergoing two consecutive single autologous blastocyst HRT-FET were included. The mean age of the included women was 35.0 ± 4.2 years. No significant intra-individual variability was observed between FET1 and FET2 (mean progesterone level after FET1: 13.4 ± 5.1 ng/ml vs after FET2: 13.9 ± 5.0; P = 0.08). The characteristics of the embryo transfers were similar between the first and the second FET. Forty-nine patients (18.6%) had discordant progesterone levels (defined as one progesterone measurement > and one ≤ to the threshold of 9.8 ng/ml) between FET1 and FET2. There were 37/264 women (14.0%) who had high intra-individual variability (defined as a difference in serum progesterone values >75th percentile (6.0 ng/ml)) between FET1 and FET2. No specific clinical parameter was associated with a high intra-individual variability nor a discordant P measurement. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION This study is limited by its retrospective design. Moreover, only women undergoing autologous blastocyst HRT-FET with MVP were included, thereby limiting the extrapolation of the study findings to other routes of P administration and other kinds of endometrial preparation for FET. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS No significant intra-individual variability was noted. The serum progesterone level appeared to be reproducible in >80% of cases. These findings suggest that the serum progesterone level measured on the day of the first transfer can be used to individualize luteal phase support in subsequent cycles.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do severe endometriosis-related painful symptoms impact ART live birth rates? SUMMARY ANSWER Severe pain symptoms are not associated with reduced ART live birth rates in endometriosis patients. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY ART is currently recognized as one of the main therapeutic options to manage endometriosis-related infertility. Presently, no data exist in the literature regarding the association between the core symptom of the disease, e.g. pain and ART reproductive outcomes. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Observational cohort study of 354 endometriosis patients, who underwent ART at a tertiary care university hospital, between October 2014 and October 2021. Diagnosis of endometriosis was based on published imaging criteria using transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging, and histologically confirmed in women who had a previous history of endometriosis surgery (n = 127, 35.9%). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS The intensity of painful symptoms related to dysmenorrhea (DM), dyspareunia (DP), noncyclic chronic pelvic pain, gastrointestinal (GI) pain, or lower urinary tract pain was evaluated using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS), before ART. Severe pain was defined as having a VAS of 7 or higher for at least one symptom. The main outcome measure was the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) per patient. We analyzed the impact of endometriosis-related painful symptoms on ART live births using univariable and multivariate analysis. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Three hundred and fifty-four endometriosis patients underwent 711 ART cycles. The mean age of the population was 33.8 ± 3.7 years, and the mean duration of infertility was 3.6 ± 2.1 years. The distribution of the endometriosis phenotypes was 3.1% superficial endometriosis, 8.2% ovarian endometrioma, and 88.7% deep infiltrating endometriosis. The mean VAS scores for DM, DP, and GI pain symptoms were 6.6 ± 2.7, 3.4 ± 3.1, and 3.1 ± 3.6, respectively. Two hundred and forty-two patients (68.4%) had severe pain symptoms. The CLBR per patient was 63.8% (226/354). Neither the mean VAS scores for the various painful symptoms nor the proportion of patients displaying severe pain differed significantly between patients who had a live birth and those who had not, based on univariate and multivariate analyses (P = 0.229). The only significant factors associated with negative ART live births were age >35 years (P < 0.001) and anti-Müllerian hormone levels <1.2 ng/ml (P < 0.001). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The diagnosis of endometriosis was based on imaging rather than surgery. This limitation is, however, inherent to the design of most studies on endometriosis patients reverting to ART first. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Rather than considering a single argument such as pain, the decision-making process for choosing between ART and surgery in infertile endometriosis patients should be based on a multitude of aspects, including the patient's choice, the associated infertility factors, the endometriosis phenotypes, and the efficiency of medical therapies in regard to pain symptoms, through an individualized approach guided by a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Does a reduction in fertility and/or systemic immune cell change occur during the early implantation period in a mouse model of adenomyosis? SUMMARY ANSWER A reduction in fertility was observed in mice with adenomyosis, coinciding with local and systemic immune changes observed during the implantation period. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Adenomyosis is a pathology responsible for impaired fertility in humans, with a still unclear pathophysiology. One hypothesis is that changes in immune cells observed in adenomyosis-affected uteri may alter fertility, notably the physiological immune environment necessary for successful implantation and a healthy pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Randomly selected CD-1 female neonatal pups were orally dosed by administration of tamoxifen to induce adenomyosis (TAM group), while others received solvent only (control group). From 6 weeks of life, CD-1 mice of both groups were mated to study impaired fertility and related local and/or systemic immune cell changes during the early implantation period. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTINGS, METHODS To evaluate fertility and pregnancy outcomes, ultrasound imaging was performed at E (embryonic day) 7.5 and E11.5 to count the number of gestational sacs and the number of resorptions in eight mice of the TAM group and 16 mice of the control group. The mice were sacrificed at E18.5, and morphometric, functional (quantitative reverse transcription PCR; RT-qPCR), and histological analyses were performed on the placentas. To identify local and/or systemic immune changes during the early implantation period, 8 mice of the TAM group and 12 mice of the control group were sacrificed at E4.5. Uterine horns and spleens were collected for flow cytometry and RT-qPCR analyses to study the immune cell populations. To investigate the profile of the cytokines secreted during the early implantation period at the systemic level, supernatants from stimulated spleen cells were analyzed by multiplex immunoassay analysis. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE By ultrasound imaging, we observed a lower number of implantation sites (P < 0.005) and a higher number of resorptions (P < 0.001) in the TAM group, leading to smaller litters (average number of fetuses per litter: 1.00 [0.00; 5.25] in the TAM group versus 12.00 [9.50; 13.75] in the control group (P < 0.001). Histological and morphometric analyses of the placentas at E18.5 showed a higher junctional/labyrinthine area ratio in the TAM group (P = 0.005). The expression levels of genes that play a role in vascularization and placental growth (Vegf (P < 0.001), Plgf (P < 0.005), Pecam (P < 0.0001), and Igf2 (P = 0.002)) were reduced in the TAM group. In the TAM group, the percentages of macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells (DC) were significantly decreased in the uterus around the implantation period. However, the number of M1 macrophages was increased. Both macrophages and DC had an increased activation profile (higher expression of MCHII, P = 0.012; CD80, P = 0.015; CCR7, P = 0.043 for macrophages, and higher expression of CD206, P = 0.018; CXCR4, P = 0.010; CCR7, P = 0.006, MCHII, P = 0.010; and CD80, P = 0.012 for DC). In spleen, an increase in the activation of macrophages (CCR7, P = 0.002; MCHII, P = 0.001; and CD80, P = 0.034) and DC was observed in the TAM group (CCR7, P = 0.001; MCHII, P = 0.001; Ly6C, P = 0.015). In the uteri and the spleen, we observed increased percentages of CD4+ T lymphocytes (P = 0.0237 and P = 0.0136, respectively) in the TAM group and, in the uteri, an increased number of regulatory T cells (P = 0.036) compared with the controls. LARGE SCALE DATA Not applicable. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION This study is limited by the use of an animal model and the lack of intervention. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS These data support involvement of innate and adaptive immune cells in the implantation failure and the increased rate of resorption observed in the mouse model of adenomyosis. This substantiates the need for additional research in this domain, with the goal of addressing fertility challenges in women affected by this condition. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) None.

Abstract
Endometriosis-related infertility remains a therapeutic challenge. A burning issue in this field of research is determining whether pre-assisted reproductive technology (ART) surgery may be of some benefit in terms of reproductive outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at comparing ongoing pregnancy rates (OPR) and/or live birth rates (LBR) in patients who underwent endometriosis surgery before ART (IVF/ICSI) in comparison with patients who underwent first-line ART (IVF/ICSI). Searches were conducted from January 1990 to June 2021 on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library using the following search terms: endometriosis, surgery, reproductive outcomes, and IVF/ICSI. The primary outcomes were OPR or LBR. A total of 19 studies were included in the meta-analysis. No statistically significant differences in LBR [0.91[0.63, 1.30]; I2 = 66%; n = 11], OPR [1.28[0.66, 2.49]; I2 = 60%; n = 3], and early pregnancy loss rate [0.88[0.62, 1.25]; I2 = 0%; n = 7] per cycle were found when comparing patients who underwent endometriosis surgery before IVF/ICSI and those who did not. After the exclusion of the studies with high risks of bias, the LBR per cycle was significantly reduced in the case of surgical treatment before IVF/ICSI [0.53[0.33, 0.86]; I2 = 30%; n = 4]. These data urge the clinician to carefully weigh the pros and cons before referring infertile patients with endometriosis to surgery before IVF, highlighting the key role of multidisciplinary referral centers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Managers' actions can facilitate the return to work (RTW) process for breast cancer survivors (BCS). However, data on BCS' experiences of managers' actions regarding RTW are dispersed across multiple qualitative studies and do not offer useful insights for managers to support employees returning to work. This study aimed to summarize and map managers' actions experienced by BCS over three RTW phases (before, during, after) and categorize them as facilitating or hindering RTW. METHODS A scoping review of qualitative studies was conducted. Four databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, EMBASE) were systematically searched for articles published between 2000 and 2022. Studies and participant characteristics were extracted using an excel spreadsheet. A thematic analysis with a predominantly deductive and semantic approach was conducted. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies were included after screening 1042 records. Five themes were generated from the data. Two themes addressed the phase 'before RTW': 'managers' interpersonal skills' and 'preparing for RTW'; three in the 'during RTW' phase: 'managers' interpersonal skills', 'offering work flexibility', and 'offering work accommodations', and only one, 'paying attention to follow-up', was addressed in the 'after RTW' phase. CONCLUSION This review mapped managers' actions experienced by BCS in three phases of the RTW process. Results suggested that, according to BCS, managers need to mobilize specific skills to provide appropriate support during the RTW process. Further research is needed to better understand the skills underlying managers' actions facilitating the RTW process.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is endometriosis associated with childhood and/or adolescent sexual abuse? SUMMARY ANSWER Endometriosis is not associated with a history of sexual abuse, unlike the presence of severe pelvic pain. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Several studies have highlighted a link between pelvic pain and sexual abuse during childhood/adolescence. Moreover, an inflammatory state has been described in patients with a history of childhood maltreatment. Given that inflammation and pelvic pain are two entities often encountered with endometriosis, several teams have investigated whether endometriosis is associated with abuse during childhood/adolescence. However, the results are conflicting, and the link between sexual abuse and the presence of endometriosis and/or pain is hard to disentangle. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A survey nested in a cohort study of women surgically explored for benign gynecological indications at our institution between January 2013 and January 2017. For each patient, a standardized questionnaire was completed during a face-to-face interview with the surgeon in the month preceding the surgery. Pelvic pain symptoms (dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, non-cyclic chronic pelvic pain, and gastrointestinal or lower urinary tract symptoms) and their intensities were assessed with a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS). Pain was considered to be severe when the VAS score was ≥7. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS A 52-question survey was sent in September of 2017 to evaluate abuses, especially sexual abuse during childhood and/or adolescence, and the psychological state during childhood and adolescence. The survey was structured to cover the following sections: (i) abuses and other life events during childhood and adolescence; (ii) puberty and body changes; (iii) onset of sexuality; and (iv) family relationships during childhood and adolescence. The patients were divided into groups according to whether or not they exhibited histologically proven endometriosis. Statistical analyses were conducted using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Two hundred and seventy-one patients answered all the questions of the survey: 168 with (endometriosis group) and 103 without endometriosis (control group). The mean ± SD overall population age was 32.2 ± 5.1 years. There were 136 (80.9%) and 48 (46.6%) women who experienced at least one severe pelvic pain symptom in the endometriosis and the control groups, respectively (P < 0.001). No differences were found between the two study groups regarding the following characteristics: (i) a history of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse; (ii) a history of abandonment or bereavement; (iii) the psychological state regarding puberty; and (iv) the family relationships. After multivariable analysis, we found no significant association between endometriosis and a history of sexual abuse during childhood and/or adolescence (P = 0.550). However, the presence of at least one severe pelvic pain symptom was independently associated with a history of sexual abuse (odds ratio = 3.6, 95% CI (1.2-10.4)). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Evaluation of the psychological state during childhood and/or adolescence can be subject to recall bias. In addition, selection bias is also a possibility given that some of the patients surveyed did not return the questionnaire. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Severe gynecological painful symptoms in women with or without histologically proven endometriosis may be linked to sexual abuse experienced during childhood and/or adolescence. Patient questioning about painful symptoms and abuses is important to provide comprehensive care to the patients, from a psychological to a somatic point of view.

Abstract
Considering the preferences in Shared Decision Making (SDM) of patients with Digestive Cancer (DC) is crucial to ensure the quality of care. To date, there is limited information on preferences in SDM of patients with DC. The objectives of this study were to describe digestive cancer patients' preference for involvement in therapeutic decision-making and to identify variables associated with these preferences. An observational prospective study in a French university cancer center has been conducted. Patients completed two questionnaires to qualify and quantify their preference for involvement in therapeutic decision-making: the Control Preference Scale (CPS) and the Autonomy Preference Index (API), which is composed of the Decision Making (DM) score and the Information Seeking (IS) score. Associations between these scores and socio-demographic data, disease-related data, coping strategies (Brief-COPE), physical (QLQ-C30) and psychological (HADS) quality of life were tested. One-hundred fifteen patients returned the questionnaires. The majority of patients reported a passive (49.1%) or a collaborative (43.0%) CPS status. The mean DM score was 39.4 Variables associated with decision-making preferences were occupational status and time since diagnosis. The identification of variables associated with patients' preferences for involvement in decision-making can help make clinicians aware of patients' needs and wishes. However, it can only be determined by interviewing the patient individually.

Abstract
Background The Posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) aims to assess the positive psychological changes that individuals can perceive after a traumatic life event such as a cancer diagnosis. Several French translations of the PTGI have been proposed, but comprehensive data on their psychometric properties are lacking. This study aimed to provide a more complete assessment of the psychometric properties of one of the most used PTGI translations in early-stage breast cancer and melanoma patients. Methods A sample of 379 patients completed the PTGI two years after their cancer diagnosis. A confirmatory analysis was first performed to determine whether the initial five-factor structure of the PTGI was adequate for this French version. As issues were identified in the translation and in the questionnaire structure, we performed an exploratory analysis to determine the most suitable structure for this questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the evidenced structured were then assessed. Results The exploratory analysis evidenced a four-factor structure close to the initial structure: four of the five initial domains were recovered, and items from the unrecovered domain were split into the other domains. This new structure showed good internal consistency and acceptable validity. Conclusions This study highlights that the process of translation and cross-cultural validation of questionnaires is crucial to obtain valid and reliable psychometric instruments. We advise French psycho-oncology researchers and psychotherapists to (i) use the revised translation of Lelorain et al. (2010) proposed in this manuscript and (ii) use the four scores newly evidenced with a grouping of two response categories. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12874-022-01722-6.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Which factors are associated with low serum progesterone (P) levels on the day of frozen embryo transfer (FET), in HRT cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER BMI, parity and non-European geographic origin are factors associated with low serum P levels on the day of FET in HRT cycles. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The detrimental impact of low serum P concentrations on HRT-FET outcomes is commonly recognized. However, the factors accounting for P level disparities among patients receiving the same luteal phase support treatment remain to be elucidated, to help clinicians predicting which subgroups of patients would benefit from a tailored P supplementation. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Observational cohort study with 915 patients undergoing HRT-FET at a tertiary care university hospital, between January 2019 and March 2020. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Patients undergoing single autologous blastocyst FET under HRT using exogenous estradiol and vaginal micronized progesterone for endometrial preparation. Women were only included once during the study period. The serum progesterone level was measured in the morning of the FET, in a single laboratory. Independent factors associated with low serum P levels (defined as ≤9.8 ng/ml, according to a previous published study) were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Two hundred and twenty-six patients (24.7%) had a low serum P level, on the day of the FET. Patients with a serum P level ≤9.8 ng/ml had a lower live birth rate (26.1% vs 33.2%, P = 0.045) and a higher rate of early miscarriage (35.2% vs 21.5%, P = 0.008). Univariate analysis showed that BMI (P < 0.001), parity (P = 0.001), non-European geographic origin (P = 0.001), the duration of infertility (P = 0.018) and the use of oral estradiol for endometrial preparation (P = 0.009) were significantly associated with low serum P levels. Moreover, the proportion of active smokers was significantly lower in the 'low P concentrations' group (P = 0.002). After multivariate analysis, BMI (odds ratio (OR) 1.06 95% CI (1.02-1.11), P = 0.002), parity (OR 1.32 95% CI (1.04-1.66), P = 0.022), non-European geographic origin (OR 1.70 95% CI (1.21-2.39), P = 0.002) and active smoking (OR 0.43 95% CI (0.22-0.87), P = 0.018) remained independent factors associated with serum P levels ≤9.8 ng/ml. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The main limitation of this study is its observational design, leading to a risk of selection and confusion bias that cannot be ruled out, although a multivariable analysis was performed to minimize this. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Extrapolation of our results to other laboratories, or other routes and/or doses of administering progesterone also needs to be validated. There is urgent need for future research on clinical factors affecting P concentrations and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, to help clinicians in predicting which subgroups of patients would benefit from individualized luteal phase support.

Abstract
Study question
Which factors are associated with low serum progesterone (P) levels on the day of frozen embryo transfer (FET), in hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) cycles?
Summary answer
Body Mass Index (BMI), parity, and non-European geographic origin are factors associated with low serum P levels on the day of FET in HRT cycles.
What is known already
While the detrimental impact of low serum P concentrations on HRT-FET outcomes is unanimously recognized, the factors accounting for P levels disparities among patients receiving the same luteal phase support treatment remain to be elucidated, in order to help clinicians predicting which subgroups of patients would benefit from a tailored P supplementation.
Study design, size, duration
Observational cohort study with 915 patients undergoing HRT-FET at a tertiary care university hospital, between January 2019 and March 2020.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Patients undergoing single autologous blastocyst FET under HRT using exogenous estradiol and vaginal micronized progesterone for endometrial preparation. Women were only included once during the study period. The serum progesterone level was measured in the morning of the FET, in a single laboratory. Independent factors associated with low serum P levels (defined as ≤ 9.8 ng/mL, according to a previous published study) were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.
Main results and the role of chance
The live birth rate was 31.5% (288/915) in the overall population. Two hundred and twenty-six patients (24.7%) had a low serum P level, on the day of the FET. Univariate analysis showed that BMI (p < 0.001), parity (p = 0.001), non-European geographic origin (p = 0.001), and the duration of infertility (p = 0.018) were significantly associated with low serum P levels. Moreover, the proportion of active smokers was significantly lower in the “low P concentrations” group (p = 0.002). After multivariate analysis, BMI (OR 1.06 95%CI [1.02-1.11], p = 0.002), parity (OR 1.31 95%CI [1.04-1.65], p = 0.024), non-European geographic origin (OR 1.67 95%CI [1.19-2.35], p = 0.003), and active smoking (OR 0.43 95%CI [0.21-0.85], p = 0.016) remained independent factors associated with serum P levels ≤ 9.8 ng/mL.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The main limitation of our study is linked to its observational design. Extrapolation of our results to other laboratories, or other routes and/or doses of administering progesterone also needs to be validated.
Wider implications of the findings
There is urgent need for future research on clinical factors affecting P concentrations to help clinicians predicting which subgroups of patients would benefit from individualized luteal phase support. More data are also needed on the underlying mechanisms explaining the relationship between patients’ characteristics and serum P levels in HRT-cycles.

Abstract
Study question
Are there any fertility disorders and related local and/or systemic immune changes during the early implantation period in a mouse model of adenomyosis?
Summary answer
An increase in fertility disorders was observed in adenomyosis mice and coincide with local and systemic immune changes observed during the period of implantation.
What is known already
Adenomyosis is as a common pathology that could be responsible for fertility alteration. Immune changes in uterus are implicated in adenomyosis physiopathology. One hypothesis is that the physiological immune environment necessary for a successful implantation can be altered in adenomyosis, leading to fertility disorders.
Study design, size, duration
Randomly selected CD-1 female neonatal pups were orally dosed with oral administration of tamoxifen in order to induce adenomyosis (TAM group), while other received solvent only (control group). At 3 months, CD-1 mice (F1) of both group were put into mating. 36 pregnant mice were included in the TAM group and 30 in the control group.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Ultrasounds were performed during pregnancy at E(E=embryonic day)7.5 and E12.5 to evaluate fertility outcomes in mice of the TAM and control group. Mice were sacrificed at E18.5 and histological,morphometric and functional analysis were performed on the placentas. In order to identify local and/or systemic immune changes in the uterus, mice of both group were sacrificed at E4.5 of pregnancy, during the implantation period. Uterine horns and spleen were collected for flow cytometry and RT-qPCR analyzes.
Main results and the role of chance
We observed a significantly lower number of implantation sites and a significantly higher number of resorption (3.88±2.36 versus 1.00±0.82(p < 0.001)) in TAM compared to control group. Analysis of placentas showed a significantly higher junctional/labyrinthic area ratio (0.60±0.09 versus 0.30±0.05(p = 0.0052)) and a significantly lower expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth-Factor(GF), Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, Insulin-like GF2 and Placental GF in the TAM group compared to the control group, indicating an altered placental vascularization compared to controls. To characterize the immune change during the early implantation period, we analyzed some immune cells populations in the uteri and the spleen: In the TAM group, the number of macrophages(F4/80), Natural Killers(NK) cells(NKP46+/NKG2D+) and dendritic cells (DC)(CD11b+) were significantly decreased compared to control uteri. However, the number of M1 macrophages(Ly6c+hight) and their activation were significantly increased. DC activation was also increased in TAM group. In the spleen, a significant increase in the activation macrophages and DC was observed in adenomyosis group compared to control. In the uteri, the number of LT4(CD4+) cells and number of LTreg cells(CD25+/FOXP3+) were significantly increased in the TAM group compared to control group. In the spleen, a significant increase in LT4 cells count was observed in TAM compared to control group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This study is limited by the use of an animal model and the lack of intervention.
Wider implications of the findings
This study provides evidence that adenomyotic lesions in mice induced fertility disorders and immune modifications at a local and at a systemic level during the early implantation period. These data support the involvement of innate and adaptive immune cells in implantation failure observed in the mouse model of adenomyosis.

Abstract
Background Cancer patients (CPs) are considered more vulnerable and as a high mortality group regarding COVID-19. In this analysis, we aimed to describe asymptomatic COVID (+) CPs and associated factors. Methods We conducted a prospective study in CPs and health care workers (HCWs) in 4 French cancer centers (PAPESCO [PAtients et PErsonnels de Santé des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer pendant l'épidémie de COvid-19] study). This analysis used data recorded between June 17, 2020 and November 30, 2020 in CPs (first 2 waves, no variants). At inclusion and quarterly, CPs reported the presence of predefined COVID-19 symptoms and had a blood rapid diagnostic test; a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was done in case of suspected infection. Results A total 878 CPs were included; COVID-19 prevalence was similar in both CPs (8%) and HCWs (9.5%); of the 70 CPs (8%) who were COVID (+), 29 (41.4%) were and remained asymptomatic; 241/808 of the COVID (-) (29.8%) were symptomatic. 18 COVID (+) were hospitalized (2% of CPs), 1 in intensive care unit (ICU) and 1 died (0.1% of CPs and 2.4% of symptomatic COVID [+] CPs). Only the inclusion center was associated with clinical presentation (in Nancy, Angers, Nantes, and Clermont-Ferrand: 65.4%, 35%, 28.6%, and 10% CPs were asymptomatic, respectively). Conclusions Seroprevalence of COVID-19 in CPs was similar to that observed in HCWs; mortality related to COVID-19 among CPs was 0.1%. More than 40% of COVID (+) CPs were asymptomatic and one third of COVID (-) CPs had symptoms. Only geographic origin was associated with the presence or absence of symptoms. Social distancing and protective measures must be applied in CPs at home and when hospitalized.

Abstract
Adenomyosis is a chronic benign uterine disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. It is a heterogeneous disease, presenting various clinical forms, depending on the location of the ectopic lesions within the myometrium. Adenomyosis can be responsible for several symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding and/or infertility. Its pathophysiology is a real conundrum and several theories have been proposed: development of adenomyosis lesion could initiate de novo from Mullerian rests or from stem cells. Moreover, multiple factors could be involved in initiating lesions, including specific hormonal, immune and/or genetic changes. The objective of this review is to provide an update on adenomyosis pathophysiology, in particular on the various theories proposed concerning the invasion of the myometrium by endometrial cells and the inducing mechanisms, and to study the link between the physiopathology, the symptoms and the medical treatments.

Abstract
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been implicated in the development of adenomyosis, along with dysregulated immune responses. Inflammation potentially induces Notch signaling, which could promote this EMT. The objective of this study was to investigate the involvement of immune cells and Notch1-mediated EMT in the development of adenomyosis. Adenomyosis was induced in 18 CD-1 mice by neonatal oral administration of tamoxifen (TAM group), while 18 neonates received vehicle only (Control group). Their uteri were sampled at 30, 60 or 90 days of age. Immune cell markers (Cd45, Ly6c1, Cd86, Arginine1, Cd19, Cd4, Cd8), Notch1 and its target genes (Hey1, Hey2, Hes1, Hes5) and biomarkers of EMT (E-Cadherin, Vimentin, Tgfb, Snail1, Slug, Snail3) were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Activated-Notch1 protein was measured by western blot. Aberrant expression of immune cell markers was observed in the uteri of mice as they developed adenomyosis. The expression of inflammatory cell markers, notably M1 macrophages and natural killer cells, was increased from Day 30 in the TAM group compared to controls, followed by an increase in the Cd4 marker (T cells) at Day 60. Conversely, expression of the Cd19 marker (B cells) was significantly reduced at all of the stages studied. Notch1 signaling was also highly activated compared to controls at Day 30 and Day 60. Concomitantly, the levels of several markers for EMT were also higher. Therefore, the activation of Notch1 coincides with aberrant expression of immune and EMT markers in the early development of adenomyosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the impact of adenomyosis and its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics on live birth rate (LBR) in endometriosis-affected women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment?
Summary answer
Among women undergoing IVF, the presence of adenomyosis at MRI, and especially T2 high signal-intensity spots within the myometrium have a negative impact on LBR. What is known already: Adenomyosis is a frequent gynecologic disease. With the development of imaging technics for the diagnosis (notably MRI), several adenomyosis phenotypes have been described and fertility issues seem variable according to the lesions characteristics. Moreover, on IVF outcomes, controversial results have been found in studies assessing the impact of adenomyosis. What make the impact-assessment of adenomyosis on fertility issues even more difficult is the frequent association with endometriosis, another known risk factor of infertility. Some data suggested that adenomyosis could worsen IVF prognostics, however there is no clear consensus about the impact of the adenomyosis on IVF outcomes in endometriosis affected-women.
Study design, size, duration
This was an observational study including phenotyped endometriosis patients, aged between 18 to 42 years, who underwent IVF/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment in a tertiary care center, from June 2015 through July 2018.Only women who had performed a pelvic MRI during the pre-therapeutic ART work-up, were retained for this study. The MRI data were interpreted by radiologists who had expertise in gynaecological MRI.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
A continuous series of 202 endometriosis affected women was included. The women were followed until four ART cycles had been completed, until delivery or until discontinuation of treatment before the completion of four cycles. The primary outcome was the delivery of one or more live infant(s) after up to four IVF/ICSI cycles. Patients and MRI characteristics were compared between women who gave a live birth and those without live birth.
Main results and the role of chance
The mean age of the included population was 32.5 ±3.7 years. 90.1% (182/202) had deep infiltrating endometriosis whereas only 5.4% (11/202) and 4.5% (9/202) had respectively isolated ovarian endometriosis (OMA) and superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP). The presence of adenomyosis (internal and/or external lesions) was found in 71.8% (145/202) of included women. The cumulative live birth rate was 57.4% (116/202). Women that gave birth (‘live birth +’) were significantly younger, (33.3±4.1 vs 32.0±3.3 p = 0.026) and had significant better ovarian reserve parameters (AMH, AFC). The presence of adenomyosis (internal and/or external lesions) (76/116 (65.5%) versus 69/86 (80.2%), p = 0.022) and the presence of T2 high-signal intensity myometrial spots (27/116 (23.3%) and 37/86 (43.0%), p = 0.003) were significantly less frequently found in the group of women ‘Live birth +’. After multivariate analysis, the presence of adenomyosis (OR: 0.48 95% CI (0.29–0.99) p = 0.048) and the presence of T2 high-signal intensity myometrial spots (OR: 0.43 95% CI (0.22–0.86) p = 0.018) were independently found to be associated with a decrease in cumulative chances of live birth.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The inclusion of patients from our referral center could constitute a possible selection bias, as those women may have suffered from particularly severe forms of adenomyosis ± endometriosis.
Wider implications of the findings: In women presenting endometriosis, the practitioner should perform an appropriate imaging work-up searching for adenomyosis, to identify prognostic factors and to plan the strategy of patient management in the setting of ART.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
How to assess the different adenomyosis phenotype before and after pregnancy on magnetic resonance imaging according to stringent validated criteria ?
Summary answer
Diffuse adenomyosis increases significantly after pregnancy while the rate of focal adenomyosis and the mean volume of focal adenomyosis lesions decrease significantly after pregnancy.
What is known already
Adenomyosis and endometriosis are benign hormone-dependent disorders associated with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and/or infertility. The natural course of adenomyosis and endometriosis is still unclear, particularly during pregnancy. Pregnancy is considered to have a positive impact on endometriosis. Several studies regarding the impact of adenomyosis on pregnancy are available. Adenomyosis can cause fertility disorders, miscarriage, preterm birth. However, available data evaluating the effect of pregnancy on adenomyosis are lacking.
Study design, size, duration
Between January 1st 2010 and September 30th 2020, 139 patients were followed in our referral care center (Gynecology department of Port-Royal Hospital, Paris) for symptomatic adenomyosis and or endometriosis. For each of them, a magnetic resonance imaging were performed before and after pregnancy. The data based on magnetic resonance imaging, pre- and post-pregnancy, were analyzed in a single retrospective study.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Patients had to be over 18 years old, to be pregnant and to be followed for symptomatic adenomyosis or endometriosis without any previous surgery. Each pelvic magnetic resonance imaging were performed by a single experienced radiologist. The protocol was identical on a 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging machine based on validated criteria. The rate of diffuse and focal adenomyosis, the volume of focal adenomyosis lesions and the thickness of maximal junctional zone were reported.
Main results and the role of chance
The mean age of patients was 34.6 ± 3.4 years old, 83 (59.7%) of patients underwent assisted reproductive technology to be pregnant. The mean time interval between the MRI and the delivery was 55.2 months and the mean time interval between the delivery and the MRI was 32.2 months. Before pregnancy, there was 96 (69.1%) patients with adenomyosis, all phenotype combined versus 111 (79.9%) after pregnancy (p = 0.04) on magnetic resonance imaging. The rate of diffuse adenomyosis increased significantly on magnetic resonance imaging after pregnancy compared to before pregnancy (n = 22 (15.8%) vs n = 41 (29.5%), p = 0.01). The thickness of junctional zone maximal was significantly higher after pregnancy (8.0 mm ± 5.1 vs 12.0 mm ± 4.8, p < 0.01). The rate of focal adenomyosis (n = 55 (39.6) vs n = 34 (24.5), p = 0.01) as well as the volume of focal adenomyosis lesions (6.7 mm3 2.5± vs 6.4 mm3 ± 2.3, p < 0.01) decreased significantly after pregnancy on magnetic resonance imaging.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This single-center study was conducted in a referral center whom patients presented more severe forms of adenomyosis, which could have affected the external validity of this study. The mean time interval between delivery and MRI was 32.2 month which implies a short follow up period to observe long term outcomes.
Wider implications of the findings
The hypothesis that a specific hormonal environment during pregnancy may imply a positively impact of the evolution of focal adenomyosis is raised by this study. The evolution of focal adenomyosis after pregnancy is similar to the evolution of endometriosis lesions volume that support shared etiopathogenic mechanisms between the two entities.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Do Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) triggering improves oocyte maturation, clinical outcomes, and safety compared to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) triggering during controlled ovarian stimulation with an antagonist protocol?
Summary answer
The final triggering using GnRHa allows a higher number of retrieved and mature oocytes to be obtained with comparable clinical outcomes and lower OHSS risk.
What is known already
GnRHa represent an alternative to hCG for ovulation triggering after controlled ovarian stimulation with an antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI. GnRHa triggering is thought to be more physiological due to the endogenous surges in LH and FSH levels. However, the benefit of GnRHa over hCG triggering on oocyte maturation remains controversial.
Study design, size, duration
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled clinical trials. Searches were conducted from 01 January 1990 to 15 April 2020 on MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and EudraCT, using the following search terms: ‘GnRH agonist’, ‘hCG’, ‘triggering’. Two independent reviewers carried out the study selection, the bias assessment using the RoB2 tool, and the data extraction according to Cochrane methods.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The primary outcomes were the total number of retrieved oocytes and the number of mature oocytes. The main secondary outcomes were the number of embryos obtained, the clinical pregnancy rate, the early pregnancy loss rate, the live birth rate, and the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Random-effects meta-analysis was performed followed by prespecified sensitivity and subgroup analyses.
Main results and the role of chance
A total of 29 randomised controlled trials were included. The mean number of retrieved oocytes [difference in means (95% CI) 0.99 (0.21, 1.78); p = 0.01; n = 26] and of mature oocytes [0.68 (0.04, 1.33); p = 0.04; n = 12] were statistically significantly higher after GnRHa than after hCG triggering. A similar difference was observed for the number of embryos [0.94 (0.19, 1.68); p = 0.01; n = 10]. No differences in the clinical pregnancy rate [risk ratio 1.01 (0.90, 1.14); p = 0.83; n = 23], early pregnancy loss [1.27 (0.94, 1.71); p = 0.13; n = 16], and live birth rate [1.00 (0.77, 1.29); p = 0.97; n = 6] were noted. GnRHa was associated with a lower incidence of OHSS [odds ratio 0.25 (0.08, 0.74); p = 0.012; n = 20].
Limitations, reasons for caution
The validity of meta-analysis results depends mainly on the quality and the number of the published studies available.
Wider implications of the findings: In light of its safety and effectiveness, GnRHa should be the new standard for triggering in antagonist cycles, with dual triggering with hCG when the risk of OHSS is low and a fresh embryo transfer approach is used.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does a previous history of surgery for ovarian endometriosis (OMA) has an impact on controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) response in case of fertility preservation (FP) for endometriosis?
Summary answer
After COS, a prior history for OMA surgery was associated with poorer ovarian responsiveness compared to non-previously operated women.
What is known already
Endometriosis is a chronic disorder that affects 10% of woman, which can be responsible for infertility. The presence of OMA and/or it’s excision could induce a reduction of the ovarian reserve (ROR), and for some women, an increased risk of premature ovarian failure. Therefore, FP with oocyte/embryo vitrification can be proposed for OMA-affected women, considering the relationship between endometriosis, infertility and ROR. Although a complete surgery excision of endometriosis lesions may be appropriate for some patients to relieve them from pain, the more efficient time to preserve fertility is still unknown in the management of women presenting OMA lesions.
Study design, size, duration
We conducted an observational multicentric study from April 2015 to December 2019, in two tertiary care university hospitals. Women presenting OMA or having a previous history of surgery for OMA that had performed a FP with COS for oocytes/embryo vitrification during the study period were included. Diagnosis of endometriosis was based on published imaging criteria using transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging or histologically proven in women who had past surgery.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
A total of 165 women were allocated to two groups, according to the presence of a previous history of surgery for endometrioma(s). Main outcome measure was the total number of oocytes retrieved.
Main results and the role of chance
Fifty-one (30,9%) women were included in the group ‘previous history of surgery’ and 115 (69,1%) in the group ‘no history of surgery’. Mean age was 31,6±4,4 years and was not significantly different between groups (p = 0.09). However, women in ‘No previous surgery’ group had higher AMH levels than women in ‘previous surgery’ group (2.27±1.70ng/ml versus 1.56±1.89ng/ml; p < 0,001). In the group ‘previous history of surgery’, 21(41.2%) women had a recurrence of OMA(s) and 31 (60.8%) had at least one deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesion at FP. In the group ‘no history of surgery’, 92(80.7%) of the women had DIE. In addition, women in ‘No previous surgery group’ had larger OMA than women in ‘previous surgery’ group (mean diameter size: 5.56±4.34cm versus 3.25±2.16cm, respectively; p:0,03).
The mean number of COS with oocyte-retrieval was significantly higher in the group ‘previous history of surgery’ (2.0±1.02 versus 1.65±0.82 in the group ‘no surgery’, p = 0.03), however, the total number of oocytes retrieved per women was significantly higher in women ‘history of surgery’, compared to women ‘no previous surgery’ (13.7±8.4 versus 10.3±7.5, p = 0.02). In addition, the cancellation rate per cycle was significantly lower in ‘No previous surgery’ group compared to the ‘previous surgery’ group (0.09±0.31 versus 0.28±0.53; p < 0.001).
Limitations, reasons for caution
No data concerning the thawing of oocytes/embryo are available for now.
Wider implications of the findings: FP is an essential component to integrate in ovarian endometriosis-management and should be proposed before surgery to optimize oocyte yield.

Abstract
Study question
What are the feasibility and outcome of ICSI in case of presumably genetic severe asthenozoospermia with Multiple Morphological Abnormalities of the Flagellum (MMAF phenotype)?
Summary answer
ICSI outcome for couples with MMAF phenotype does not differ from that of other couples requiring ICSI, regardless to the genetic etiology
What is known already
Severe asthenozoospermia, especially when associated with multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagellum (MMAF phenotype), results in male infertility. Recent findings confirm that a genetic etiology is frequently responsible for this phenotype. In such situations, pregnancies can be obtained using ICSI. However, few studies have provided detailed analyses of the flagellar ultrastructural defects underlying this phenotype, of its genetic etiologies and of the results of ICSI in such cases of male infertility.
Study design, size, duration
We performed a retrospective study including 25 infertile men showing severe asthenozoospermia associated with a MMAF phenotype identified through standard semen analysis. These men were recruited from an academic center for Assisted Reproduction in Paris between 2009 and 2017. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) were performed in order to precise the sperm ultra-structural phenotype and identify causal mutations, respectively. Twenty of the 25 patients benefited from assisted reproductive therapy by ICSI.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
MMAF patients were recruited based on reduced sperm progressive motility and increased frequencies of absent, short, coiled or irregular flagella, in comparison with fertile control men. A quantified analysis of the ultrastructural defects was performed for the MMAF patients and for fertile control men. ICSI results for the MMAF patients were compared to those of 528 ICSI attempts performed for non-MMAF individuals considering the sperm parameters and the distribution of ultrastructural axonemal anomalies.
Main results and the role of chance
Thorough categorization by TEM analysis of the flagellar anomalies found in these patients brought important precisions about the structural defects underlying asthenozoospermia and sperm tail abnormalities detectable through standard microscopy. In particular, absence of the central pair of axonemal microtubules was the predominant anomaly, observed significantly more frequently than in control men (p < 0.01). Exome sequencing performed for 24 of the 25 patients (96%), identified in ten of them homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations that were described to be pathogenic (CFAP43, CFAP44, CFAP69, DNAH1, DNAH8, AK7, TTC29, MAATS1). A majority of those patients (55.5%,5/9) displayed the most severe ultra-structural defects of the axoneme. Forty ICSI attempts were performed for 20 MMAF patients. A hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test was required in 13 cycles (5 couples). Fertilization rate in MMAF group (65.7%) was not statistically different from the rate obtained for non-MMAF patients (66.0%) and did not differ according to the flagellar phenotype, nor to the use of HOS test, nor to the genotype. Clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer did not significantly differ between the MMAF group (23.3%) and the ICSI control group (37.1%). To date, 11 healthy babies were born among 20 MMAF patients.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The outcome of ICSI procedure was retrospectively assessed on a small sample and may be susceptible to recall bias. Moreover, TEM analysis was not available for some of the patients due to too low sperm concentration, and WES results are not yet available for all men included.
Wider implications of the findings
Couples requiring ICSI for presumably genetic severe asthenozoospermia should benefit precociously from appropriate phenotypic and genetic investigations. So far ICSI results appear similar to those observed in other ICSI indications. Identifying a genetic etiology and its mode of inheritance allows providing to these couples a most often reassuring genetic counseling.

Abstract
Study question
Does endometrioma (OMA) size affect the number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation (OS) in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)? Summary answer: No significant difference in the number of oocytes retrieved was observed according to the endometrioma size.
What is known already
Ovarian endometriosis lesions (OMA) per se and above all, the surgical excision, appears to result in a risk of alteration of the ovarian reserve. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a validated therapeutic option to treat infertility related to endometriosis. Nevertheless, it has been described that the presence of OMA could have a detrimental impact on ovarian responsiveness to hyperstimulation involving mechanisms still unclear. Some recent studies suggest that the size of the OMA may be relevant and that there may be a threshold in cyst diameter above which ovarian responsiveness might be affected. Study design, size, duration: This was an observational study using data prospectively collected in a cohort of infertile women aged between 18 and 43 years presenting OMA associated with DIE lesions, between December 2012 and July 2019. Every patient underwent their first in vitro fecundation or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle. Included women were women with an adequate imaging work up with Transvaginal ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging (TVUS/MRI) performed by senior radiologists before the beginning of the OS.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
One hundred and eighty-two women were included in the study. Women were allocated in 5 groups according to the largest diameter of their ovarian endometriosis lesions: OMA < 2 cm, 2 cm ≤ OMA < 4 cm, 4 cm ≤ OMA < 6 cm, 6 cm ≤ OMA < 8 cm, OMA ≥ 8 cm. The main outcome was the number of oocytes retrieved.
Main results and the role of chance
Mean age of the included women was 32.8 years. 96(52.7%) women had unilateral endometrioma and 86 (47.3%) had bilateral endometriomas. The mean OMA size was 3.63 cm for right ovary and 3.60 cm for left ovary. Considering the largest diameter of OMA retained, the mean size was 4.12 cm. Repartition among groups, according to the size of the largest OMA diameter was: OMA < 2cm group (n = 32); 2 £OMA< 4 cm (n = 70); 4 £OMA< 6 cm, (n = 37); 6 £OMA< 8 cm (n = 27); OMA8 cm (n = 16).
Mean number of oocytes retrieved was not significantly different between groups (p = 0.635): 8.4±5.7 for OMA< 2 cm, 7.3 ± 5.4 for 2 cm≤OMA<4 cm, 6.6 ± 3.9 for 4 cm≤OMA< 6 cm, 8.6 ± 5.8 for 6 cm ≤OMA<8 cm and 7.1 ± 3.6 for OMA≥8 cm. Mean number of matures oocytes was also comparable between groups (p = 0.674). Clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate was similar between groups (p = 0.798 and p = 0.913). No significant difference was found concerning the number of cancelled cycles between groups (p = 0.703).
Limitations, reasons for caution
For almost half of the included women, endometriosis diagnosis was based on imaging technics, without histological proof of endometriosis. However, it was performed by specialized seniors radiologists.
Wider implications of the findings: Our study suggests that whatever endometrioma size, OS can be benefit for women with endometrioma, even for largest ones, without the requirement of prior treatment to reduce their size

Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has seen exponential growth in oncology clinical trials. However, the measurement of HRQoL has yet to be optimised in routine clinical practice. This study aimed at exploring the operationalisation of HRQoL in clinical practice with the goal of reaching a consensus from a panel of physicians. MATERIALS AND METHODS Physicians involved in the management of lung cancer patients in France were recruited to participate in a Delphi study. The study involved three rounds of iterated queries to gain consensus on management aspects of HRQoL, including timing of discussion on HRQoL, which specific domains of HRQoL should be discussed, and what was the most appropriate method of assessment. The threshold adopted for consensus was at least 70% agreement among physicians. A scientific committee reviewed results following each round of the Delphi study. RESULTS A representative panel of 60 physicians participated in this study. Consensus was obtained for HRQoL management at all time points in the patient care pathway. Panellists agreed that HRQoL discussions should occur during routine visits and hospitalisation. The involvement of patients' relatives was also recognised as important, except when discussing side-effects and involvement of a multidisciplinary team. There was a lack of consensus on a systematic assessment for all patients at each visit and no consensus on how HRQoL should be measured in clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS HRQoL discussions are considered an integral part in the management of lung cancer patients, and are deemed key to success in patient-physician interaction. Further research is required to harmonise how best to implement HRQoL assessment.

Abstract
Background: Cancer patients may fail to distinguish COVID-19 symptoms such as anosmia, dysgeusia/ageusia, anorexia, headache, and fatigue, which are frequent after cancer treatments. We aimed to identify symptoms associated with COVID-19 and to assess the strength of their association in cancer and cancer-free populations. Methods: The multicenter cohort study PAPESCO-19 included 878 cancer patients and 940 healthcare workers (HCWs). At baseline and quarterly thereafter, they reported the presence or absence of 13 COVID-19 symptoms observed over 3 months and the results of routine screening RT-PCR, and they were systematically tested for SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies. We identified the symptom combinations significantly associated with COVID-19. Results: Eight percent of cancer patients were COVID-19 positive, and 32% were symptomatic. Among the HCWs, these proportions were 9.5 and 52%, respectively. Anosmia, anorexia, fever, headache, and rhinorrhea together accurately discriminated (c-statistic = 0.7027) COVID-19 cases from cancer patients. Anosmia, dysgeusia/ageusia, muscle pain, intense fatigue, headache, and chest pain better discriminated (c-statistic = 0.8830) COVID-19 cases among the HCWs. Anosmia had the strongest association in both the cancer patients (OR = 7.48, 95% CI: 2.96-18.89) and HCWs (OR = 5.71, 95% CI: 2.21-14.75). Conclusions: COVID-19 symptoms and their diagnostic performance differ in the cancer patients and HCWs. Anosmia is associated with COVID-19 in cancer patients, while dysgeusia/ageusia is not. Cancer patients deserve tailored preventive measures due to their particular COVID-19 symptom pattern.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do adenomyosis phenotypes such as external or internal adenomyosis, as diagnosed by MRI, have the same clinical characteristics? SUMMARY ANSWER External adenomyosis was found more often in young and nulliparous women and was associated with deep infiltrating endometriosis, whereas, in contrast, internal adenomyosis was more often associated with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) but no differences were noted in terms of pain symptoms. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma deep within the myometrium, giving rise to dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and menorrhagia. Various forms have been described, including adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (external adenomyosis), which corresponds to lesions separated from the junctional zone (JZ), and adenomyosis of the inner myometrium (internal adenomyosis), which is mostly characterized by endometrial implants scattered throughout the myometrium and enlargement of the JZ. Although the pathogenesis of adenomyosis is not clearly understood, several lines of evidence suggest that these two phenotypes could have distinct origins. The clinical presentation of different forms of adenomyosis in patients warrants further investigation. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This was an observational study that used data collected prospectively in non-pregnant patients aged between 18 and 42 years who had undergone surgical exploration for benign gynecological conditions at our institution between May 2005 and May 2018. Only women with a pelvic MRI performed by a senior radiologist during the preoperative work-up were retained for this study. For each patient, a standardized questionnaire was completed during a face-to-face interview conducted by the surgeon in the month preceding the surgery. The women's histories (notably their age, gravidity, history of surgery and associated endometriosis), as well as clinical symptoms such as the pain intensity, presence of menorrhagia and infertility, were noted. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS A pelvic MRI was performed in 496 women operated at our center for a benign gynecological disease who had provided signed informed consent. Of these, 248 women had a radiological diagnosis of adenomyosis. Based on the MRI findings, the women were diagnosed as having external and/or internal adenomyosis. The women were allocated to two groups according to the adenomyosis phenotype (only external adenomyosis vs only internal adenomyosis). Women exhibiting an association of both adenomyosis forms were analyzed separately. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE In all, following the MRI findings, 109 women (44.0%) exhibited only external adenomyosis, while 78 (31.5%) had only internal adenomyosis. The women with external adenomyosis were significantly younger (mean ± SD; 31.9 ± 4.6 vs 33.8 ± 5.2 years; P = 0.006), more often nulligravid (P ≤ 0.001) and more likely to exhibit an associated endometriosis (P < 0.001) compared to the women in the internal adenomyosis group. Moreover, the women exhibiting internal adenomyosis significantly more often had a history of previous uterine surgery (P = 0.002) and HMB (62 (80%) vs 58 (53.2%), P < 0.001) compared to the women with external adenomyosis. No differences in the pain scores (i.e. dysmenorrhea, non-cyclic pelvic pain and dyspareunia) were observed between the two groups. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The exclusive inclusion of surgical patients could constitute a possible selection bias, as the women referred to our center may have suffered from particularly severe clinical symptoms. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Further studies are needed to explore the pathogenesis by which these types of adenomyosis occur. This could help with the development of new treatment strategies specific for each entity. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) none. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER N/A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disorder associated with subfertility, pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding that have significant consequences for the health and quality of life of women. Histologically, it is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial islets within the myometrium. Its pathogenesis has not yet been elucidated and several pieces of the puzzle are still missing. One process involved in the development of adenomyosis is the increased capacity of some endometrial cells to infiltrate the myometrium. Moreover, the local and systemic immune systems are associated with the onset of the disease and with maintaining it. Numerous observations have highlighted the activation of immune cells and the release of immune soluble factors in adenomyosis. The contribution of immunity occurs in conjunction with hormonal aberrations and activation of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway, which promotes migration of endometrial cells. Here, we review current knowledge on the immunological changes in adenomyosis, with the aim of further elucidation of the pathogenesis of this disease. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE The objective was to systematically review the literature regarding the role of the immune system in development of adenomyosis in the inner and the outer myometrium, in humans. SEARCH METHODS A systematic review of published human studies was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases from 1970 to February 2019 using the combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Adenomyosis AND ('Immune System' OR 'Gonadal Steroid Hormones'), and free-text terms for the following search terms (and their variants): Adenomyosis AND (immunity OR immune OR macrophage OR 'natural killer cell' OR lymphocyte* OR leucocyte* OR HLA OR inflammation OR 'sex steroid' OR 'epithelial to mesenchymal transition' OR 'EMT'). Studies in which no comparison was made with control patients, without adenomyosis (systemic sample and/or eutopic endometrium), were excluded. OUTCOMES A total of 42 articles were included in our systematic review. Changes in innate and adaptive immune cell numbers were described in the eutopic and/or ectopic endometrium of women with adenomyosis compared to disease-free counterparts. They mostly described an increase in lymphocyte and macrophage cell populations in adenomyosis eutopic endometrium compared to controls. These observations underscore the immune contributions to the disease pathogenesis. Thirty-one cytokines and other markers involved in immune pathways were studied in the included articles. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL) 6, IL1β, interferon (IFN) α, tumor necrosis factor α, IFNγ) as well as anti-inflammatory or regulatory mediators (IL10, transforming growth factor β…) were found to be elevated in the eutopic endometrium and/or in the ectopic endometrium of the myometrium in women with adenomyosis compared to controls. Moreover, in women affected by adenomyosis, immunity was reported to be directly or indirectly linked to sex steroid hormone aberrations (notably changes in progesterone receptor in eutopic and ectopic endometrium) in three studies and to EMT in four studies. WIDER IMPLICATIONS The available literature clearly depicts immunological changes that are associated with adenomyosis. Both systemic and local immune changes have been described in women affected by adenomyosis, with the coexistence of changes in inflammatory as well as anti-inflammatory signals. It is likely that these immune changes, through an EMT mechanism, stimulate the migration of endometrial cells into the myometrium that, together with an endocrine imbalance, promote this inflammatory process. In light of the considerable impact of adenomyosis on women's health, a better understanding of the role played by the immune system in adenomyosis is likely to yield new research opportunities to better understand its pathogenesis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Satisfaction is known to be correlated with the quality of care; it indicates the adequacy of the caregivers' responses in meeting the needs and expectations of patients. The FAMCARE-Patient questionnaire has been used to quantify satisfaction level in outpatients with advanced-stage cancers. OBJECTIVES To translate and cross-culturally adapt the FAMCARE-Patient questionnaire for French patients and to evaluate the psychometric properties of this version. METHODS The original questionnaire was translated into French and adapted to French cultural context by an expert committee. The French FAMCARE-Patient Version 16 (FFP-16) was then pilot tested among 51 patients. Subsequently, psychometric properties were evaluated in a cross-sectional study by administrating the new tool to 176 adult outpatients with advanced-stage cancer who underwent oncological care at our university hospital. RESULTS We performed a confirmatory factor analysis and assessed the reliability and validity of the questionnaire. The one-factor structure was confirmed, and it had an acceptable fit with a comparative fit index and root mean square error of approximation of 0.93 and 0.07, respectively. Internal reliability was high as shown by Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.95). Reproducibility was very good (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.91). The FFP-16 score was independent of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and the overall Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale distress scores. It was significantly but weakly correlated with anxiety, well-being, and overall quality of life (Spearman's correlation coefficient = -0.18, -0.20, and 0.30, respectively; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION We found the FFP-16 questionnaire to be a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of satisfaction in French outpatients with advanced-stage cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE While studies on patients' quality of life (QoL) are numerous, to date few have addressed the issue of what QoL means for doctors and how they use patient-reported QoL. This study aimed to explore how doctors define the concept of "patient QoL" and how they use QoL assessments in clinical practice. METHODS Focus group (FG) interviews were conducted with French hospital doctors and general practitioners. Transcripts of the FGs were explored using inductive thematic and lexical analyses. RESULTS Twenty-one clinicians participated in four FGs. They all agreed that QoL was a subjective and unstable concept, different from that of health status. In practice, the assessment of patient QoL was conducted using an intuitive and non-structured approach. Most participants thought that it would give them more confidence in making decisions and provide better patient care. But it was also seen in some cases as putting them in an uncomfortable position. The assessment of QoL requires a favourable work and organizational setting. CONCLUSIONS Patient QoL provides useful data for clinicians. Yet assessments are made without standardized tools. The use of such tools could be very valuable for some practitioners or in some situations, and a real source of problems for others. These problems could, however, be easily overcome with experience-sharing and training clinicians.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a benign chronic inflammatory disease, whose pathogenesis is still unclear. Endometriosis is responsible for infertility and/or pelvic pain. One of the most important features of the disease is the heterogeneity (clinical and anatomical: superficial peritoneal, ovarian and/or deep infiltrating lesions). Bowel involvement constitutes one particularly severe form of the disease, affecting 8-12% of women with deep endometriosis. In case of associated infertility, bowel endometriosis constitutes a real therapeutic challenge for gynecologists. Indeed, while complete resection of the lesions alleviates pain and seems to improve spontaneous fertility, surgery remains technically challenging and may cause severe complications. Reverting to assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is another valuable therapeutic option regarding pregnancy rates. Thus, the choice between surgical management or ART is still debated. Benefits and risks of these two options should be considered and discussed before planning treatment. In the present study, we aimed to answer the question: Bowel endometriosis and infertility: do we need to operate?

Abstract
BACKGROUND While coping has been found to have time-lagged effects on psychological adjustment in cancer patients, studies addressing this issue are missing in melanoma patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to provide more insight into the links between coping strategies at the time of diagnosis and quality of life (QOL) 2 years later in patients with primary cutaneous melanoma. METHODS Patients who received diagnosis of melanoma (n = 78) were assessed regarding coping strategies within 1 month of diagnosis (T1); their anxiety, depression, control, QOL, and life satisfaction were evaluated 24 months later (T2). Relevant medical and sociodemographic data were collected at T1 and T2. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Consistent with the literature, we found that higher positive reframing was associated with greater life satisfaction and that increased behavioral disengagement was related to decreased cognitive functioning. Surprisingly, our results highlighted that higher active coping predicted lower emotional functioning and that greater religious coping was associated with more reports of nausea symptoms. We also noticed that depression was strongly related to QOL beyond the end of interferon α therapy. CONCLUSION The findings of the present study suggest that specific coping strategies may have time-lagged effects on QOL when the treatment is completed. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE These findings provide new insights into the coping strategies that could be promoted in coping skills interventions in dermatology units and reveal the significant role of preventive care concerning the posttreatment period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate that corifollitropin alfa is as effective as daily FSH in controlled ovarian stimulation of oocyte donors. METHODS From January 2013 to October 2015, 77 cycles controlled ovarian stimulation, derived from a continuous cohort of 77 oocyte donors, were analyzed. After synchronization by oestroprogestatif or estrogens, ovarian stimulation was started by corifollitropin alfa (Group corifollitropin alfa) or by daily FSH (Group daily FSH). In both groups, a GnRH antagonist was used for the prevention of premature surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). The induction of ovulation was induced by a GnRH agonist. The duration of treatment, estradiol rate, numbers of mature oocytes, fertilization rate, clinical and ongoing pregnancies rates were evaluated in the two groups. RESULTS There is no difference for the age, the markers of ovarian reserve and the duration of treatment. The average rate of estradiol on the eighth day of the stimulation is lower for the corifollitropin alfa (845±694.5 vs 1742±1177.3, P<0.001), there is no difference in the number of mature oocytes retrieved (14.4 vs 13.4, P=0.979), with a fertilization rate significantly higher in the corifollitropin alfa group (59.8% vs 49.3%, P<0.001). The rate of ongoing pregnancies is higher but without reaching significant difference in this same group (36.6% vs 26%, P=0.277). CONCLUSION As compared to daily FSH, corifollitropin alfa, in oocyte donors offers, advantages in terms of ease of use with identical efficiency.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic disease. The pathogenesis is actually still unclear. Endometriosis is responsible for infertility and/or pelvic pain. One of the most important features of the disease is the heterogeneity (clinical and anatomical). Among the different phenotypes of endometriosis, the ovarian endometrioma seems to most important lesion in the management of endometriosis-related infertility. Surgical treatment is associated to a decrease of the ovarian reserve and a potential detrimental effect on in vitro fecondation (IVF) outcomes. Thus, the choice between conservative or surgical management of endometrioma before IVF is actually debated. The advantages and drawback of surgical and conservative management should be discussed before to plan the treatment. In the present review, we aimed at assessing the risks of a conservative management of endometrioma as compared to surgery before IVF.

Abstract
PURPOSE Longitudinal studies addressing change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following a diagnosis of cancer have mainly focused on a single cancer type, and little is known about the differences in HRQoL over time according to the type of tumor. The current study aims to compare the change in HRQoL over 2 years following breast cancer or melanoma diagnosis and socio-demographic variables associated with HRQoL over time. METHODS Patients recently diagnosed with breast cancer (n = 215) or melanoma (n = 78) completed surveys within 1 month of diagnosis and 6, 12, and 24 months later. Multilevel modeling analyses were used to compare the evolution over time of HRQoL dimensions, as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30, in both cancers. Longitudinal effect of socio-demographic variables on HRQoL was also assessed. RESULTS Consistent with the literature, both cancer patients experienced decreased HRQoL scores following the diagnosis before improving over time. However, our analyses revealed that this rebound effect may occur at diverse times over the course of the illness according to the type of cancer. In addition, HRQoL over time was positively associated with age and negatively related to living with a partner regardless of the type of cancer. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggest that support in hospital units should be specific and depend on the cancer type.

Abstract
Recombinant DNA methods have been used to analyse core proteins of two different proteoglycans, one from a rat yolk sac tumour and the other from human fibroblasts and fetal membrane tissue. The processed core protein of the yolk sac tumour proteoglycan is a 104-amino acid polypeptide. This polypeptide contains a 49-amino acid serine-glycine repeat which clearly serves as the chondroitin sulphate attachment region. Genomic and mRNA blots suggest that this core protein is a member of a multigene family the members of which share the Ser-Gly repeat. The fibroblast/fetal membrane proteoglycan has a 329-amino acid core protein which is also processed from a larger precursor. This core protein contains three individual Ser-Gly dipeptides, one of which is known to be substituted with a chondroitin/dermatan sulphate side-chain. The availability of proteoglycan cDNA clones will facilitate gene transfer studies aimed at identifying the recognition sequences for the addition of the glycosaminoglycan. Gene transfer should also allow studies on the effects of proteoglycan expression on cellular properties such as adhesion and tumorigenicity.

Abstract
We have studied interactions of tenascin with two chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, neurocan and phosphacan. Neurocan is a multi-domain proteoglycan with a 136-kDa core protein that is synthesized by neurons and binds to hyaluronic acid, whereas the 173-kDa core protein of phosphacan, which is synthesized by glia, represents an extracellular variant of the receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase RPTP zeta/beta. Keratan sulfate-containing glycoforms of phosphacan (designated phosphacan-KS) are also present in brain. Immunocytochemical studies of early postnatal rat cerebellum demonstrated that the localization of neurocan, phosphacan, and phosphacan-KS all overlap extensively with that of tenascin, an extracellular matrix protein that modulates cell adhesion and migration. Binding studies using purified proteins covalently attached to fluorescent microbeads demonstrated that proteoglycan-coated beads co-aggregated with differently fluorescing beads coated with tenascin. The co-aggregation was specifically inhibited by Fab' fragments of antibodies against tenascin or the proteoglycans and by soluble neurocan, phosphacan, and tenascin. A solid phase radioligand binding assay confirmed that neurocan, phosphacan, and phosphacan-KS bind to tenascin but not to laminin and fibronectin. Chondroitinase treatment of the proteoglycans or addition of free chondroitin sulfate had no significant effect, indicating that the binding activity is mediated largely via the core glycoproteins. Scatchard analysis demonstrated high affinity binding of 125I-phosphacan, phosphacan-KS, and neurocan to a single site in tenascin, and neurocan and various glycoforms of phosphacan all inhibited binding of 125I-phosphacan to tenascin. In studies of cell adhesion to proteins adsorbed to Petri dishes, phosphacan inhibited adhesion of C6 glioma cells to tenascin whereas neurocan had no effect. Our results suggest that tenascin binds phosphacan and neurocan in vivo and that interactions between chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and tenascin may play important roles in nervous tissue histogenesis, possibly by modulating signal transduction across the plasma membrane.

Abstract
F9 embryonal carcinoma cells differentiate to embryoid bodies containing an outer epithelial layer of visceral endoderm cells when cultured as aggregates in medium containing retinoic acid (RA). Another pathway of differentiation to parietal endoderm is followed when dibutyryl cyclic AMP (cAMP) is added to the medium. We have measured the accumulated levels of RNA transcripts from a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan gene (PG-19), the type IV collagen alpha 1, alpha 2 subunit genes, and laminin B1, B2 subunit genes during these differentiation processes. Laminin B2 gene is uniquely regulated among the extracellular matrix component genes studied. The level of laminin B2 RNA remains almost invariant during RA induction of differentiation but is induced 11-fold by cAMP with RA. In contrast, laminin B1, collagen IV alpha 1, and alpha 2 genes are induced in two stages with six- to sevenfold accumulation of RNA induced by RA and fourfold greater levels by cAMP (19- to 28-fold overall). All of these matrix-encoding genes except proteoglycan are expressed at low levels in unstimulated F9 cells, whereas PG-19 is completely undetectable and is observed only after 2 days of stimulation with RA. Its increased expression with RA and cAMP induction is at least 100-fold during F9 differentiation. Extracellular matrix transcripts are relatively stable and this accounts in part for high accumulated levels during differentiation. We conclude that several kinds of gene regulation occur among the matrix components and other differentiation markers, and this makes the F9 model system useful to study the differential effects of hormone treatments on cellular events leading to differentiation and loss of tumorigenicity.

Abstract
Different methods were evaluated for delivering iodine-125 monoclonal antibodies (Mab's) to the central nervous system in 40- to 99-gm Fischer rats. By evaluating interhemispheric, interregional, and brain:blood ratios of Mab's, the efficacy of intracarotid (IC) or intravenous (IV) administration of Mab's with and without prior IC perfusion with 0.9% NaCl (normal saline, NS), 1.4 M mannitol, or 1.6 M arabinose, or of femoral artery perfusion with 1.4 M mannitol was evaluated. No difference was seen between IC and IV administration of Mab's with or without prior perfusion. Intracarotid perfusion with hyperosmolar agents was required to disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and to significantly elevate brain levels of Mab's. The brain and blood levels of Mab's were elevated in all regions of the brain following hyperosmolar BBB disruption. However, the levels were significantly higher in the ipsilateral hemisphere, with cross-over occurring primarily in the vascular distribution of the contralateral anterior cerebral artery. Intracarotid hyperosmolar perfusion produced 450% to 500% increases in ipsilateral and 240% to 280% increases in contralateral hemispheric brain:blood Mab ratio levels compared to those achieved with NS perfusion. For IC perfusion of mannitol or arabinose, flow rates ranging from 0.017 to 0.052 ml/sec were equally effective in disrupting the BBB. Insignificant morbidity and mortality rates were noted up to 2 weeks following BBB disruption. Additional ligation of major extracranial branches of the external and internal carotid arteries prior to IC perfusion did not result in a selective increase in hemispheric Mab levels. Temporally, following hyperosmolar BBB disruption, brain:blood Mab ratios remained elevated bilaterally at 7 days after Mab delivery, with the ipsilateral hemispheric levels remaining significantly elevated compared with the contralateral hemispheric levels until Day 5, when the ratio returned to the nonperfused range. Catheterization was required in the small animals and was performed under magnification in 10 to 20 minutes, with less than an 8% overall morbidity and mortality. The methodology developed should prove helpful in delivery of Mab's or other agents in rat tumor models and experimental models for other disease entities.

Abstract
The frequencies and absolute numbers of B and T cells in the lymphoid organs of five murine strains (NZB, (NZB X NZW)F1, BXSB, MRL/l, and MRL/n) with SLE-like syndromes were examined. We assessed the frequencies of cells bearing surface Ig, C3d and IgG Fc receptors, and theta-antigen. The sequential expression of Ig isotopes on developing B cells and the Ig isotypes expressed on adult B cells were ascertained. In addition, the Ly subsets and the expression of Ia antigens coded for by the I-J subregion of the mouse H-2 complex were examined. Compared to normal, older mice, New Zealand mice had low frequencies and absolute numbers of B cells, BXSB mice had a moderate B-cell proliferation, and MRL/l mice had normal absolute numbers of B cells but a reduced frequency concomitant with a massive T-cell proliferation. Old New Zealand mice and BXSB mice had reduced frequencies and absolute numbers of T cells compared to old controls. The developmental Ig-isotype diversity during the 1st wk of age was similar in normal mice and those with autoimmune manifestations. Mature B cells were present in lymphoid organs of New Zealand mice and BXSB mice as evidenced by the high frequency of C3d receptor-bearing cells and Ig-isotype expression (high ratio of IgM- to IgD-bearing cells) in adult spleen cells. Numbers of IgG Fc receptor-bearing cells were reduced in autoimmune mice with advanced age and disease. The proliferating T cells in MRL/l mice were found to be theta-antigen positive but Ly null. These theta+-, Ly null cells may have arisen from Ly123+ T cells. MRL/l and BXSB mice seemed normal in their content of T cells bearing Ia antigens coded for by the I-J subregion of H-2. Overall, mice with autoimmune manifestations appear to express perturbations in T and B cells with development of disease, and their patterns of change vary from one strain to another.

Abstract
The levels of murine leukaemia virus (MuLV) proteins p30 and gp70, antinuclear antibody (ANA), anti-soluble nuclear protein, anti-single-stranded DNA, anti-double-stranded DNA and anti-histone antibodies were measured in B10.A and B10.A recombinant mice neonatally infected with MuLV-Scripps (Lerner et al., 1972). The incidence and latency of lymphoma and the incidence of glomerulonephritis were also determined. The mice studied could be divided into high-responder and low-responder groups. Most of the high ANA antibody could be attributed to anti-histone antibody. High response was associated with the H-2b haplotype and recombinant strains on the B10 background which were identical at the I-A subregion derived from the H-2b parental stock. In contrast, low ANA response was associated with the I-A subregion derived from the H-2k haplotype. In all groups of virus-inoculated animals, most animals developed serum elevations of p30 and gp70 and at least 72% of the inoculated animals developed lymphomas. High serum p30 levels correlated inversely with latency and directly with gp70 values. From 4 to 28% of the animals in each virus-inoculated group had histological evidence of glomerulonephritis, although no clear genetic basis could be ascribed to the incidence of glomerulonephritis, serum p30 or gp70 levels, or latency of lymphoma development.
