Abstract
OBJECTIVES An association between physical inactivity and worse outcome during infectious disease has been reported. The effect of moderate exercise preconditioning on the immune response during an acute pneumonia in a murine model was evaluated. SETTING Laboratory experiments. SUBJECTS C57BL6/j male mice. INTERVENTIONS Six-week-old C57BL/6J mice were divided in two groups: an exercise group and a control group. In the exercise group, a moderate, progressive, and standardized physical exercise was applied for 8 weeks. It consisted in a daily treadmill training lasting 60 minutes and with an intensity of 65% of the maximal theoretical oxygen uptake. Usual housing recommendation were applied in the control group during the same period. After 8 weeks, pneumonia was induced in both groups by intratracheal instillation of a fixed concentration of a Klebsiella pneumoniae (5 × 103 colony-forming unit) solution. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Mice preconditioned by physical exercise had a less sever onset of pneumonia as shown by a significant decrease of the Mouse Clinical Assessment Severity Score and had a significantly lower mortality compared with the control group (27% vs. 83%; p = 0.019). In the exercise group, we observed a significantly earlier but transient recruitment of inflammatory immune cells with a significant increase of neutrophils, CD4+ cells and interstitial macrophages counts compared with control group. Lung tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 were significantly decreased at 48 hours after pneumonia induction in the exercise group compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS In our model, preconditioning by moderate physical exercise improves outcome by reducing the severity of acute pneumonia with an increased but transient activation of the innate immune response.

Abstract
Neurons form the basic anatomical and functional structure of the nervous system, and defects in neuronal differentiation or formation of neurites are associated with various psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dynamic changes in the cytoskeleton are essential for this process, which is, inter alia, controlled by the dedicator of cytokinesis 4 (DOCK4) through the activation of RAC1. Here, we clinically describe 7 individuals (6 males and one female) with variants in DOCK4 and overlapping phenotype of mild to severe global developmental delay. Additional symptoms include coordination or gait abnormalities, microcephaly, nonspecific brain malformations, hypotonia and seizures. Four individuals carry missense variants (three of them detected de novo) and three individuals carry null variants (two of them maternally inherited). Molecular modeling of the heterozygous missense variants suggests that the majority of them affect the globular structure of DOCK4. In vitro functional expression studies in transfected Neuro-2A cells showed that all missense variants impaired neurite outgrowth. Furthermore, Dock4 knockout Neuro-2A cells also exhibited defects in promoting neurite outgrowth. Our results, including clinical, molecular and functional data, suggest that loss-of-function variants in DOCK4 probable cause a variable spectrum of a novel neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interneuronopathies are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficient migration and differentiation of gamma-aminobutyric acidergic interneurons resulting in a broad clinical spectrum, including autism spectrum disorders, early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, intellectual disability, and schizophrenic disorders. SP9 is a transcription factor belonging to the Krüppel-like factor and specificity protein family, the members of which harbor highly conserved DNA-binding domains. SP9 plays a central role in interneuron development and tangential migration, but it has not yet been implicated in a human neurodevelopmental disorder. METHODS Cases with SP9 variants were collected through international data-sharing networks. To address the specific impact of SP9 variants, in silico and in vitro assays were carried out. RESULTS De novo heterozygous variants in SP9 cause a novel form of interneuronopathy. SP9 missense variants affecting the glutamate 378 amino acid result in severe epileptic encephalopathy because of hypomorphic and neomorphic DNA-binding effects, whereas SP9 loss-of-function variants result in a milder phenotype with epilepsy, developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorder. CONCLUSION De novo heterozygous SP9 variants are responsible for a neurodevelopmental disease. Interestingly, variants located in conserved DNA-binding domains of KLF/SP family transcription factors may lead to neomorphic DNA-binding functions resulting in a combination of loss- and gain-of-function effects.

Abstract
During the course of acute ZIKV infection, pruritus is a cardinal symptom widely documented in the literature. Its frequent association with dysesthesia and several dysautonomic manifestations, suggests a pathophysiological mechanism involving the peripheral nervous system. The aim of this study was to develop a functional human model to potentially able to be infected by ZIKV: by demonstrating the functionality on a new human model of co-culture of keratinocyte and sensory neuron derived from induced pluripotent stem cells using a classical method of capsaicin induction and SP release, and verify the presence of ZIKV entry receptor in these cells. Depending of cellular type, receptors of the TAMs family, TIMs (TIM1, TIM3 and TIM4) and DC-SIGN and RIG1 were present/detected. The cells incubations with capsaicin resulted in an increase of the substance P. Hence, this study demonstrated the possibility to obtain co-cultures of human keratinocytes and human sensory neurons that release substance P in the same way than previously published in animal models which can be used as a model of neurogenic skin inflammation. The demonstration of the expression of ZIKV entry receptors in these cells allows to considerate the potent possibility that ZIKV is able to infect cells.

Abstract
We studied the pathologists' agreements in quantifying PD-L1 expression through the tumor proportion score (TPS) and the combined positive score (CPS) using single PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (S-IHC) and double immunohistochemistry (D-IHC) combining PD-L1 staining and tumor cell markers. S-IHC and D-IHC were applied to 15 cancer samples to generate 60 digital IHC slides (30 whole slides images and 30 regions of interest of 1 mm2) for PD-L1 expression quantification using both TPS and CPS, twice by four pathologists. Agreements were estimated calculating intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Both S-IHC and D-IHC slides analyses resulted in excellent (for TPS, ICC > 0.9) to good (for CPS, ICC > 0.75) inter- and intra-pathologist agreements with slightly higher ICC with D-IHC than with S-IHC. S-IHC resulted in higher TPS and CPS than D-IHC (+5.6 and +6.1 mean differences, respectively). High reproducibility in the quantification of PD-L1 expression is attainable using S-IHC and D-IHC.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to evaluate the performances of the Idylla GeneFusion Assay (IGFA) designed to detect, in a single, rapid and fully automated assay, ALK, ROS1, RET, NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 gene fusions and MET exon 14 skipping in cancer samples. METHODS Based on a set of tumours enriched in cases with gene fusions, we applied the IGFA to tumour areas of various sizes and tumour cell contents. IGFA results were compared with those obtained with other methods (immunohistochemistry, fluorescent in situ hybridisation, DNA and RNA next-generation sequencing). RESULTS We selected 68 tumours: 49 cases with known gene fusions (8 ALK, 8 ROS1, 5 RET, 7 NTRK1, 3 NTRK2 and 6 NTRK3 ones) or MET exon 14 skipping mutations (12 cases) and 19 cases with no fusion and no MET mutation. We performed 128 IGFA tests on distinct tissue areas. The global sensitivity and specificity of the IGFA were, respectively, 62.82% and 99.2% with variations between molecular targets and tissue areas. Of note, 72.5% sensitivity and 98.79% specificity were obtained in 37 tissue areas fulfilling the manufacturer's recommendations (ie, at least 10% of tumour cells in at least 20 mm² of tissue area). The rate of non-conclusive results was higher in small samples with low percentages of tumour cells. CONCLUSIONS The IGFA could contribute to the rapid detection of targetable gene fusions and mutations, especially in context of rapidly growing cancers requiring urgent therapeutic choices.

Abstract
Introduction Small fiber neuropathies (SFNs) are disorders of skin nerve endings inducing pruritus, burning pain, numbness, and paresthesia. The aims of this study were to search for putative etiologies of SFN and their occurrence in a cohort of patients and to compare patients with SFN to a group of patients without SFN to highlight potential factors associated with SFN. Methods This study was observational, retrospective, and monocentric. All patients with symptoms of SFN who underwent skin biopsies with intraepidermal nerve density counts were included. Patients with a count lower than 5 percentiles were considered to be in the SFN group. Other patients were considered to be the control group. Results A total of 162 patients with SFN and 161 controls were included. No cause was identified for 108 patients (61.7%). The established causes were autoimmune diseases (9.1%), diabetes or glucose intolerance (8%), medication (4%), liver disease (3.4%), and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (2.9%). Current or former smokers were more numerous in the SFN group (26.5%) than in the control group (16.1%), while vitamin D amounts were significantly lower in the SFN group than in the control group. Discussion Hence, tobacco smoking and vitamin D deficiency might be new putative causes of SFN.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether repeated minor salivary gland biopsy (MSGB) has a clinical diagnostic utility in patients with suspicion of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). METHODS Clinical, biological, pathological data and physician's diagnosis after each MSGB from patients with suspected primary or secondary SS who had benefited from 2 MSGB at Brest University Hospital between January 1st, 1990 and January 14th, 2015, were retrospectively collected. We compared the characteristics of patients with and without first positive MSGB, concordance between the MSGB, and analyzed the modifications of diagnosis after the second MSGB. RESULTS Ninety-three patients were included, first MSGB was positive for 23 and negative for 70. Patients with first positive MSGB had more often renal involvement (P<0.05) and hypergammaglobulinemia (P=0.01), anti-SSA antibodies (P<0.05) and positive second biopsy with focus score ≥ 1 or Chisholm>2 (P<0.01). The mean time between the 2 MSGB was 5.7±4.3 years. The concordance between the results of the 2 biopsies was low (κ = 0.34). MSGB influenced diagnostic's change in 10 cases where the second MSGB was always guided by new specific clinical manifestations. CONCLUSION We observed a low concordance between 2 MSGB in patients with suspected pSS in our study. Despite this variability, performing a second MSGB changed the initial diagnosis in only a minority of the patients and was particularly useful when clinical manifestations had deeply evolved.

Abstract
Mitochondrial complex V plays an important role in oxidative phosphorylation by catalyzing the generation of ATP. Most complex V subunits are nuclear encoded and not yet associated with recognized Mendelian disorders. Using exome sequencing, we identified a rare homozygous splice variant (c.87+3A>G) in ATP5PO, the complex V subunit which encodes the oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein, in three individuals from two unrelated families, with clinical suspicion of a mitochondrial disorder. These individuals had a similar, severe infantile and often lethal multi-systemic disorder that included hypotonia, developmental delay, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, progressive epileptic encephalopathy, progressive cerebral atrophy, and white matter abnormalities on brain MRI consistent with Leigh syndrome. cDNA studies showed a predominant shortened transcript with skipping of exon 2 and low levels of the normal full-length transcript. Fibroblasts from the affected individuals demonstrated decreased ATP5PO protein, defective assembly of complex V with markedly reduced amounts of peripheral stalk proteins, and complex V hydrolytic activity. Further, expression of human ATP5PO cDNA without exon 2 (hATP5PO-∆ex2) in yeast cells deleted for yATP5 (ATP5PO homolog) was unable to rescue growth on media which requires oxidative phosphorylation when compared to the wild type construct (hATP5PO-WT), indicating that exon 2 deletion leads to a non-functional protein. Collectively, our findings support the pathogenicity of the ATP5PO c.87+3A>G variant, which significantly reduces but does not eliminate complex V activity. These data along with the recent report of an affected individual with ATP5PO variants, add to the evidence that rare biallelic variants in ATP5PO result in defective complex V assembly, function and are associated with Leigh syndrome.

Abstract
Prenatal alcohol exposure is a major cause of neurobehavioral disabilities. MRI studies in humans have shown that alcohol is associated with white matter microstructural anomalies but these studies focused on myelin abnormalities only after birth. Only one of these studies evaluated oligodendrocyte lineage, but only for a short period during human foetal life. As data are lacking in humans and alcohol is known to impair oligodendrocyte differentiation in rodents, the present study aimed to compare by immunohistochemistry the oligodendrocyte precursor cells expressing PDGFR-α and immature premyelinating/mature oligodendrocytes expressing Olig2 in the ganglionic eminences and the frontal cortex of 14 human foetuses exposed to alcohol from 15 to 37 weeks' gestation with age-matched controls. The human brains used in this study were obtained at the time of foetal autopsies for medical termination of pregnancy, in utero or post-natal early death. Before birth, PDGFR-α expression was strongly increased in the ganglionic eminences and the cortex of all foetuses exposed to alcohol except at the earliest stage. No massive generation of Olig2 immunoreactive cells was identified in the ganglionic eminences until the end of pregnancy and the density of Olig2-positive cells within the cortex was consistently lower in foetuses exposed to alcohol than in controls. These antenatal data from humans provides further evidence of major oligodendrocyte lineage impairment at specific and key stages of brain development upon prenatal alcohol exposure including defective or delayed generation and maturation of oligodendrocyte precursors.

Abstract
Missense variants in RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) underlie a spectrum of disease phenotypes, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, and inclusion body myopathy. Here, we present ten independent families with a severe, progressive muscular dystrophy, reminiscent of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) but of much earlier onset, caused by heterozygous frameshift variants in the RBP hnRNPA2/B1. All disease-causing frameshift mutations abolish the native stop codon and extend the reading frame, creating novel transcripts that escape nonsense-mediated decay and are translated to produce hnRNPA2/B1 protein with the same neomorphic C-terminal sequence. In contrast to previously reported disease-causing missense variants in HNRNPA2B1, these frameshift variants do not increase the propensity of hnRNPA2 protein to fibrillize. Rather, the frameshift variants have reduced affinity for the nuclear import receptor karyopherin β2, resulting in cytoplasmic accumulation of hnRNPA2 protein in cells and in animal models that recapitulate the human pathology. Thus, we expand the phenotypes associated with HNRNPA2B1 to include an early-onset form of OPMD caused by frameshift variants that alter its nucleocytoplasmic transport dynamics. Missense variants in RNA-binding proteins underlie many diseases. Here the authors report an oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy caused by heterozygous frameshift mutations in HNRNPA2B1 that alter its nucleocytoplasmic transport dynamics and result in cytoplasmic accumulation of hnRNPA2 protein.

Abstract
Background Aquagenic pruritus (AP), an intense sensation of scratching induced after water contact, is the most troublesome aspect of BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Mostly described in polycythemia vera (PV, ~ 40%), it is also present in essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) (10%). Even if this symptom can decrease or disappear under cytoreductive treatments, 30% of treated MPN patients still persist with a real impact on the quality of life (QoL). Because its pathophysiology is poorly understood, efficient symptomatic treatments of AP are missing. The neuropeptide substance P (SP) plays a crucial role in the induction of pruritus. Several studies showed the efficacy of aprepitant, an antagonist of SP receptor (NK-1R), in the treatment of chronic pruritus but never evaluated in AP. The objectives of APHYPAP are twofold: a clinical aim with the evaluation of the efficacy of two drugs in the treatment of a persistent AP for MPN patients and a biological aim to find clues to elucidate AP pathophysiology. Methods/design A multicentric, double-blind, double-placebo, randomized study will include 80 patients with MPN (PV or ET or PMF) treated since at least 6 months for their hemopathy but suffering from a persistent AP (VAS intensity ≥6/10). Patients will be randomized between aprepitant (80 mg daily) + placebo to match to hydroxyzine OR hydroxyzine (25 mg daily) + placebo to match to aprepitant for 14 days. At D0, baseline information will be collected and drugs dispense. Outcome measures will be assessed at D15, D30, D45, and D60. The primary study endpoint will be the reduction of pruritus intensity below (or equal) at 3/10 on VAS at D15. Secondary outcome measures will include the number of patients with a reduction or cessation of AP at D15 or D60; evaluation of QoL and AP characteristics at D0, D15, D30, D45, and D60 with MPN-SAF and AP questionnaires, respectively; modification of plasmatic concentrations of cytokines and neuropeptides at D0, D15, D30, and D60; and modification of epidermal innervation density and pruriceptor expression at D0 and D15. Discussion The APHYPAP trial will examine the efficacy of aprepitant vs hydroxyzine (reference treatment for AP) to treat persistent AP in MPN patients. The primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority of aprepitant vs hydroxyzine to treat persistent AP of MPN patients. The treatment received will be considered efficient if the AP intensity will be reduced at 3/10 or below on VAS after 14 days of treatment. The results of this study may provide a new treatment option for this troublesome symptom and also give us more insights in the pathophysiology understanding of AP. Trial registration APHYPAP.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor RyR1 is the main sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channel in skeletal muscle and acts as a connecting link between electrical stimulation and Ca2+-dependent muscle contraction. Abnormal RyR1 activity compromises normal muscle function and results in various human disorders including malignant hyperthermia, central core disease, and centronuclear myopathy. However, RYR1 is one of the largest genes of the human genome and accumulates numerous missense variants of uncertain significance (VUS), precluding an efficient molecular diagnosis for many patients and families. Here we describe a recurrent RYR1 mutation previously classified as VUS, and we provide clinical, histological, and genetic data supporting its pathogenicity. The heterozygous c.12083C>T (p.Ser4028Leu) mutation was found in thirteen patients from nine unrelated congenital myopathy families with consistent clinical presentation, and either segregated with the disease in the dominant families or occurred de novo. The affected individuals essentially manifested neonatal or infancy-onset hypotonia, delayed motor milestones, and a benign disease course differing from classical RYR1-related muscle disorders. Muscle biopsies showed unspecific histological and ultrastructural findings, while RYR1-typical cores and internal nuclei were seen only in single patients. In conclusion, our data evidence the causality of the RYR1 c.12083C>T (p.Ser4028Leu) mutation in the development of an atypical congenital myopathy with gradually improving motor function over the first decades of life, and may direct molecular diagnosis for patients with comparable clinical presentation and unspecific histopathological features on the muscle biopsy.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Nevertheless, some GISTs do not contain any targetable KIT or PDGFRA mutations classically encountered in this field. Novel approved therapies targeting TRK chimeric proteins products of NTRK genes fusions consist in a promising approach to treat some patients with GISTs lacking any identified driver oncogenic mutation in KIT, PDGFRA or BRAF genes. Thus, an adequate testing strategy permitting to diagnose the rare NTRK-rearranged GISTs is required. In this work, we studied about the performances of pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC) and NTRK1/2/3 fluorescent in situ hybridization in a series of 39 GISTs samples. Among 22 patients with GISTs lacking KIT or PDGFRA mutations, BRAFV600E IHC permitted to diagnose 2/22 (9%) BRAFV600E-mutated GISTs and, among the 20 KIT, PDGFRA, and BRAF wild type tumors, 1/20 (5%), NTRK3-rearranged tumor was diagnosed using NTRK3 fluorescent in situ hybridization. Pan-TRK IHC using EPR17341 and A7H6R clones was negative in this NTRK3-rearranged sample. Pan-TRK IHC was frequently positive in NTRK not rearranged tumors without (24 samples analyzed) or with (15 samples analyzed) KIT or PDGFRA mutations with major discrepancies between the 2 IHC clones (intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.3042). Given the new therapeutic opportunity offered by anti-TRK targeted therapies to treat patients with advanced cancers including GISTs, it is worth to extend molecular analysis to NTRK fusions testing in KIT, PDGFRA, and BRAF wild type GISTs. Pan-TRK IHC appears not relevant in this field but performing a simple NTRK3 fluorescent in situ hybridization test consists in a valuable approach to identify the rare NTRK3-rearranged GISTs treatable using anti-TRK therapies.

Abstract
Patients with NTRK-rearranged tumors can be now treated using anti-TRK-targeted therapies making NTRK testing important for treatment choices in patients with advanced cancers. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC) could be a valuable premolecular screening strategy in this field. The choice of 1 IHC method or another requires to investigate for intermethod comparison. A high frequency of pan-TRK positive tumors among salivary gland tumors makes these tumors particularly appropriate for such a technical study. In this work, we studied the intermethod agreement for 2 pan-TRK IHC methods (using A7H6R and EPR17341 clones) in a file of salivary gland tumors of different subtypes. Among 71 tumors, pan-TRK IHC was diagnosed as positive (ie, H score ≥5) in 23 and 18 cases using EPR17341 and A7H6R clones, respectively, with a good intermethod agreement in terms of positive/negative result (κ, 0.70) but only a moderate agreement considering the H score values themselves (intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.5399). Beyond the intensity of staining and the percentages of stained cells, major differences were also observed between the location and type of cells stained in positive cases between the 2 clones. The single NTRK-rearranged case in our series (ie, a NTRK3-rearranged salivary secretory carcinoma) was positive with the 2 pan-TRK antibodies. Future studies including molecularly proven NTRK-rearranged tumors remain required to further study and compare the performances of different pan-TRK clones in the screening of NTRK-rearranged cancers but it is now obvious that the staining patterns of A7H6R and EPR17341 clones are not strictly identical.

Abstract
The prevalence of congenital hydrocephalus has been estimated at 1.1 per 1000 infants when including cases diagnosed before 1 year of age after exclusion of neural tube defects. Classification criteria are based either on CSF dynamics, pathophysiological mechanisms or associated lesions. Whereas inherited syndromic hydrocephalus has been associated with more than 100 disease-causing genes, only four genes are currently known to be linked to congenital hydrocephalus either isolated or as a major clinical feature: L1CAM, AP1S2, MPDZ and CCDC88C. In the past 10 years, pathogenic variants in CCDC88C have been documented but the neuropathology remains virtually unknown. We report the neuropathology of two foetuses from one family harbouring two novel compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the CCDC88C gene: a maternally inherited indel in exon 22, c.3807_3809delinsACCT;p.(Gly1270Profs*53) and a paternally inherited deletion of exon 23, c.3967-?_c.4112-?;p.(Leu1323Argfs*10). Medical termination of pregnancy was performed at 18 and 23 weeks of gestation for severe bilateral ventriculomegaly. In both fetuses, brain lesions consisted of multifocal atresia-forking along the aqueduct of Sylvius and the central canal of the medulla, periventricular neuronal heterotopias and choroid plexus hydrops. The second fetus also presented lumbar myelomeningocele, left diaphragmatic hernia and bilateral renal agenesis. CCDC88C encodes the protein DAPLE which contributes to ependymal cell planar polarity by inhibiting the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway and interacts with MPDZ and PARD3. Interestingly, heterozygous variants in PARD3 result in neural tube defects by defective tight junction formation and polarization process of the neuroepithelium. Besides, during organ formation Wnt signalling is a prerequisite for planar cell polarity pathway activation, and mutations in planar cell polarity genes lead to heart, lung and kidney malformations. Hence, candidate variants in CCDC88C should be carefully considered whether brain lesions are isolated or associated with malformations suspected to result from disorders of planar cell polarity.

Abstract
Targetable kinase fusions are extremely rare (<1%) in colorectal cancers (CRCs), making their diagnosis challenging and often underinvestigated. They have been shown particularly frequently among MSI-High, BRAF/KRAS/NRAS wild-type CRCs with MLH1 loss (MLH1loss MSI-High wild-type). We searched for NTRK1, NTRK2, NTRK3, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, RET, and NRG1 kinase fusions in CRCs using methods easy-to-implement in pathology laboratories: immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and fully automated real-time PCR targeted analyses. RNA-sequencing analyses were used for confirmation. Among 84 selected MLH1 deficient (IHC) CRCs cases, MLH1loss MSI-High wild-type CRCs consisted first in 19 cases after Idylla™ analyses and finally in 18 cases (21%) after RNA-sequencing (detection of one additional KRASG12D mutation). FISH (and when relevant, IHC) analyses concluded in 5 NTRK1, 3 NTRK3, 1 ALK, 2 BRAF, and 2 RET FISH positive tumors. ALK and NTRK1 rearranged tumors were IHC positive, but pan-TRK IHC was negative in the 3 NTRK3 FISH positive tumors. RNA-sequencing analyses confirmed 12 of 13 fusions with only one false positive RET FISH result. Finally, 12/18 (67%) of MLH1loss MSI-High wild-type CRCs contained targetable kinase fusions. Our study demonstrates the feasibility, but also the cost-effectiveness, of a multistep but rapid diagnostic strategy based on nonsequencing methods to identify rare and targetable kinase fusions in patients with advanced CRCs, as well as the high prevalence of these kinase fusions in MLH1loss MSI-High wild-type CRCs. Nevertheless, confirmatory RNA-sequencing analyses are necessary in case of low FISH positive nuclei percentage to rule out FISH false-positive results.

Abstract
Alcohol affects multiple neurotransmitter systems, notably the GABAergic system and has been recognised for a long time as particularly damaging during critical stages of brain development. Nevertheless, data from the literature are most often derived from animal or in vitro models. In order to study the production, migration and cortical density disturbances of GABAergic interneurons upon prenatal alcohol exposure, we performed immunohistochemical studies by means of the proliferation marker Ki67, GABA and calretinin antibodies in the frontal cortical plate of 17 foetal and infant brains antenatally exposed to alcohol, aged 15 weeks’ gestation to 22 postnatal months and in the ganglionic eminences and the subventricular zone of the dorsal telencephalon until their regression, i.e., 34 weeks’ gestation. Results were compared with those obtained in 17 control brains aged 14 weeks of gestation to 35 postnatal months. We also focused on interneuron vascular migration along the cortical microvessels by confocal microscopy with double immunolabellings using Glut1, GABA and calretinin. Semi-quantitative and quantitative analyses of GABAergic and calretininergic interneuron density allowed us to identify an insufficient and delayed production of GABAergic interneurons in the ganglionic eminences during the two first trimesters of the pregnancy and a delayed incorporation into the laminar structures of the frontal cortex. Moreover, a mispositioning of GABAergic and calretininergic interneurons persisted throughout the foetal life, these cells being located in the deep layers instead of the superficial layers II and III. Moreover, vascular migration of calretininergic interneurons within the cortical plate was impaired, as reflected by low numbers of interneurons observed close to the cortical perforating vessel walls that may in part explain their abnormal intracortical distribution. Our results are globally concordant with those previously obtained in mouse models, in which alcohol has been shown to induce an interneuronopathy by affecting interneuron density and positioning within the cortical plate, and which could account for the neurological disabilities observed in children with foetal alcohol disorder spectrum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed at describing placental abruption in our county and at evaluating factors associated with poor fetal outcome. STUDY DESIGN In this case-control study, women with placental abruption were identified from two databases of Brest University Hospital between January 2013 and December 2018. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Placental histological findings, course of pregnancies, maternal and fetal characteristics were described and compared between cases (placental abruption with stillbirth or neonatal death) and controls. RESULTS We identified 135 placental abruption, of whom 24.4% were complicated with stillbirth and 6.5% with neonatal death. Forty percent of women were smokers and 14.1% had a history of vasculoplacental disorder. Pregnancies were complicated with 42.2% of pre-eclampsia and 43% of intrauterine growth restriction. Cases were associated with more autoimmune diseases in mother (20.0% versus 3.2%, P = 0.003), more aspirin or heparin use during pregnancy (20.0% versus 6.3%, P = 0.03), less pre-eclampsia (25.0% versus 49.5%, P = 0.01) and more deliveries ≤ 34 weeks of gestation (80.0% versus 43.2%, P = 0.0001) than controls. Placentas from cases showed more placental indentation ≥ 30% (42.5% versus 5.3%, P < 0.0001) and less histological chronic inflammation, especially less chronic chorioamniotitis (2.5% versus 24.2%, P = 0.002) than controls. In multivariate analysis, factors negatively associated with poor fetal outcome were placental histological chronic inflammation (P = 0.01) and macroscopic infarcts (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Poor fetal outcome is negatively associated with certain placental histological chronic lesions, but not with pre-eclampsia, what suggests various pathophysiological processes among placental abruption.

Abstract
Oncotype DX® assay is used to guide therapeutic decisions in early-stage invasive breast carcinoma but remains expensive. Magee Equations (MEs) and Magee Decision Algorithm (MDA) predict the Oncotype DX® recurrence score (RS) on the basis of histopathological parameters. The influence of intratumor heterogeneity on MEs and MDA remains uncertain. We compared Ki-67, estrogen and progesterone receptors, and human erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (HER2) status on tissue microarray cores with the corresponding findings on the whole slides to calculate MEs scores and to decide if Oncotype DX® testing was required as per MDA in two sets of 175 and 59 tumors, without and with Oncotype DX® results, respectively. Agreements in the interpretation of Ki-67, estrogen and progesterone receptors, and HER2 status were very good between limited areas and whole-slide analyses. This resulted also in very good agreements about the results of MEs and MDA. For 7 of 175 (4%) and 3 of 59 (5.1%) cases, MEs and MDA results in different tumor areas would have changed the indication to perform or not perform Oncotype DX® assays. Oncotype DX® RSs were significantly correlated with MEs and MDA results, but among cases initially predicted to have an RS ≤25 using MDA, 3 of 34 cases (8.8%) had in fact an RS >25. Tumor heterogeneity appears to have little impact on the estimation of the Oncotype DX® RS using MEs and MDA and would have permitted to avoid half of Oncotype DX® assays in our series. Caution is nevertheless required in discarding Oncotype DX® assay in cases with ME scores >18 associated with low mitotic activity.

Abstract
Levamisole is a drug originally prescribed as an antihelmintic. Because of the occurrence of severe cases of agranulocytosis and leukoencephalitis it was removed from the French market in 1998 for human use, while it remains available for veterinary use. Nowadays in France its only use in humans is regulated by authorization for temporary use for its immunomodulatory properties in the treatment of nephritic syndrome.A 52-year-old man was found dead at his farm. Injection points were observed on his arm and a syringe containing a dark orange-brown liquid was found near the body. At his home, the discovery of a letter highlighted suicidal intent. Analysis of the aforementioned liquid, peripheral blood and urine confirmed the unique presence of levamisole. The femoral blood concentration of levamisole was of 25 mg/L whereas the femoral blood concentrations reported in cases of fatalities after cocaine use do not exceed 0.0056 mg/L. In humans, levamisole can be detected in biological samples after cocaine use as this drug is also an adulterant and one of its metabolites (aminorex) seems to have amphetamine-like properties. In this case, the man consumed levamisole from time to time for its stimulant and strengthening effects.Cases of fatal poisoning using levamisole are very rare and poorly documented, which makes the interpretation of postmortem blood levamisole concentration difficult.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pain, temperature, and itch are conventionally thought to be exclusively transduced by the intraepidermal nerve endings. Although recent studies have shown that epidermal keratinocytes also participate in sensory transduction, the mechanism underlying keratinocyte communication with intraepidermal nerve endings remains poorly understood. We sought to demonstrate the synaptic character of the contacts between keratinocytes and sensory neurons and their involvement in sensory communication between keratinocytes and sensory neurons. METHODS Contacts were explored by morphological, molecular, and functional approaches in cocultures of epidermal keratinocytes and sensory neurons. To interrogate whether structures observed in vitro were also present in the human epidermis, in situ correlative light electron microscopy was performed on human skin biopsies. RESULTS Epidermal keratinocytes dialogue with sensory neurons through en passant synaptic-like contacts. These contacts have the ultrastructural features and molecular hallmarks of chemical synaptic-like contacts: narrow intercellular cleft, keratinocyte synaptic vesicles expressing synaptophysin and synaptotagmin 1, and sensory information transmitted from keratinocytes to sensory neurons through SNARE-mediated (syntaxin1) vesicle release. INTERPRETATION By providing selective communication between keratinocytes and sensory neurons, synaptic-like contacts are the hubs of a 2-site receptor. The permanent epidermal turnover, implying a specific en passant structure and high plasticity, may have delayed their identification, thereby contributing to the long-held concept of nerve endings passing freely between keratinocytes. The discovery of keratinocyte-sensory neuron synaptic-like contacts may call for a reassessment of basic assumptions in cutaneous sensory perception and sheds new light on the pathophysiology of pain and itch as well as the physiology of touch.

Abstract
In utero alcohol exposure can induce severe neurodevelopmental disabilities leading to long-term behavioral deficits. Because alcohol induces brain defects, many studies have focused on nervous cells. However, recent reports have shown that alcohol markedly affects cortical angiogenesis in both animal models and infants with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). In addition, the vascular system is known to contribute to controlling gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic interneuron migration in the developing neocortex. Thus, alcohol-induced vascular dysfunction may contribute to the neurodevelopmental defects in FASD. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of alcohol on endothelial activity of pial microvessels. Ex vivo experiments on cortical slices from mouse neonates revealed that in endothelial cells from pial microvessels acute alcohol exposure inhibits both glutamate-induced calcium mobilization and activities of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). The inhibitory effect of alcohol on glutamate-induced MMP-9 activity was abrogated in tPA-knockout and Grin1flox/VeCadcre mice suggesting that alcohol interacts through the endothelial NMDAR/tPA/MMP-9 vascular pathway. Contrasting with the effects from acute alcohol exposure, in mouse neonates exposed to alcohol in utero during the last gestational week, glutamate exacerbated both calcium mobilization and endothelial protease activities from pial microvessels. This alcohol-induced vascular dysfunction was associated with strong overexpression of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunit GluN1 and mispositioning of the Gad67-GFP interneurons that normally populate the superficial cortical layers. By comparing several human control fetuses with a fetus chronically exposed to alcohol revealed that alcohol exposure led to mispositioning of the calretinin-positive interneurons, whose density was decreased in the superficial cortical layers II-III and increased in deepest layers. This study provides the first mechanistic and functional evidence that alcohol impairs glutamate-regulated activity of pial microvessels. Endothelial dysfunction is characterized by altered metalloproteinase activity and interneuron mispositioning, which was also observed in a fetus with fetal alcohol syndrome. These data suggest that alcohol-induced endothelial dysfunction may contribute in ectopic cortical GABAergic interneurons, that has previously been described in infants with FASD.

Abstract
Although a rare disease, bilateral congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the leading cause of end stage kidney disease in children. Ultrasound-based prenatal prediction of postnatal kidney survival in CAKUT pregnancies is far from accurate. To improve prediction, we conducted a prospective multicenter peptidome analysis of amniotic fluid spanning 140 evaluable fetuses with CAKUT. We identified a signature of 98 endogenous amniotic fluid peptides, mainly composed of fragments from extracellular matrix proteins and from the actin binding protein thymosin-β4. The peptide signature predicted postnatal kidney outcome with an area under the curve of 0.96 in the holdout validation set of patients with CAKUT with definite endpoint data. Additionally, this peptide signature was validated in a geographically independent sub-cohort of 12 patients (area under the curve 1.00) and displayed high specificity in non-CAKUT pregnancies (82 and 94% in 22 healthy fetuses and in 47 fetuses with congenital cytomegalovirus infection respectively). Change in amniotic fluid thymosin-β4 abundance was confirmed with ELISA. Knockout of thymosin-β4 in zebrafish altered proximal and distal tubule pronephros growth suggesting a possible role of thymosin β4 in fetal kidney development. Thus, recognition of the 98-peptide signature in amniotic fluid during diagnostic workup of prenatally detected fetuses with CAKUT can provide a long-sought evidence base for accurate management of the CAKUT disorder that is currently unavailable.

Abstract
Metabolic myopathies comprise a diverse group of inborn errors of intermediary metabolism affecting skeletal muscle, and often present clinically as an inability to perform normal exercise. Our aim was to use the maximal mechanical performances achieved during two functional tests, isometric handgrip test and cycloergometer, to identify metabolic myopathies among patients consulting for exercise-induced myalgia. Eighty-three patients with exercise-induced myalgia and intolerance were evaluated, with twenty-three of them having a metabolic myopathy (McArdle, n = 9; complete myoadenylate deaminase deficiency, n = 10; respiratory chain deficiency, n = 4) and sixty patients with non-metabolic myalgia. In all patients, maximal power (MP) was determined during a progressive exercise test on a cycloergometer and maximal voluntary contraction force (MVC) was assessed using a handgrip dynamometer. The ratio between percent-predicted values for MVC and MP was calculated for each subject (MVC%pred:MP%pred ratio). In patients with metabolic myopathy, the MVC%pred:MP%pred ratio was significantly higher compared to non-metabolic myalgia (1.54 ± 0.62 vs. 0.92 ± 0.25; p < 0.0001). ROC analysis of MVC%pred:MP%pred ratio showed AUC of 0.843 (0.758–0.927, 95% CI) for differentiating metabolic myopathies against non-metabolic myalgia. The optimum cutoff was taken as 1.30 (se = 69.6%, sp = 96.7%), with a corresponding diagnostic odd ratio of 66.3 (12.5–350.7, 95% CI). For a pretest probability of 15% in our tertiary reference center, the posttest probability for metabolic myopathy is 78.6% when MVC%pred:MP%pred ratio is above 1.3. In conclusion, the MVC%pred:MP%pred ratio is appropriate as a screening test to distinguish metabolic myopathies from non-metabolic myalgia.

Abstract
p57 immunostaining is performed on hydropic products of conception to diagnose hydatidiform moles (HMs), which can progress to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and hydropic abortion (HA) display positive staining in stromal and cytotrophoblastic cells, whereas complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) is characterized by loss of p57 expression in both cell types. In some cases, an aberrant pattern is observed, called discordant p57 expression, with positive cytotrophoblast staining and negative stromal staining, or vice versa. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, biological, and pathological characteristics of p57-discordant villi (p57DV) and other associated populations in cases of divergent p57 expression and to compare the evolutions of p57DV-associated and classic CHMs. Seventy cases of p57DV diagnosed by referent pathologists were divided into two groups, G1: p57DV ± non-CHM component (n = 22) and G2: p57DV + CHM component (n = 48). p57DV morphology was similar in the two groups. Observation of more than two populations and hybrid villi on p57 immunostaining were significantly more frequent in G2. The clinical, ultrasound, and biological presentations of p57DV-associated and classic CHMs were similar. The initial pathological diagnosis was more frequently incorrect, missing the CHM component, for the p57DV-associated CHMs. Molecular genotyping was informative in seven cases and identified as androgenetic/biparental mosaicism in four cases. These results show that p57DV are a diagnostic challenge for pathologists and that most are associated with a CHM component. However, the clinical management of p57DV-associated CHMs should be the same as that of classic CHMs.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to study the prognostic value of KRAS, NRAS, BRAF mutations and microsatellite stable (MSS)/instable (MSI) in the field of colorectal cancer invading the submucosa (ie, pT1 colorectal cancer (CRC)). METHODS We led a case-control study in tumour samples from 60 patients with pT1 CRC with (20 cases) and without (40 cases) metastatic evolution (5 years of follow-up) which were analysed for KRAS, NRAS, BRAF mutations (Idylla testing and next generation sequencing, NGS) and MSS/MSI status (Idylla testing and expression of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins using immunohistochemistry). RESULTS KRAS mutations were encountered in 11/20 (55%) cases and 21/40 (52.5%) controls (OR=1.11 (0.38 to 3.25), p=0.8548), NRAS mutations in 1/20 (5%) cases and 3/40 (7.5%) controls (OR=3.08 (0.62 to 15.39), p=0.1698) and BRAF mutations in 3/20 (15%) cases and 6/40 (15%) controls (OR=1.00 (0.22 to 4.5), p=1.00). A MSI status was diagnosed in 3/20 (15%) cases and 5/40 (12.5%) controls (OR=1.2353 (0.26 to 5.79), p=0.7885). Beyond the absence of significant association between the metastatic evolution and any of the studied molecular parameters, we observed a very good agreement between methods analysing KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations (Kappa value of 0.849 (0.748 to 0.95) between Idylla and NGS) and MSS/MSI (Idylla)-proficient MMR/deficient MMR (immunohistochemistry) status (Kappa value of 1.00). CONCLUSION Although being feasible using the fully automated Idylla method as well as NGS, the molecular testing of KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and MSS/MSI status does not seem useful for prognostic purpose in the field of pT1 CRC.

Abstract
Intra-epidermal nerve endings, responsible for cutaneous perception of temperature, pain and itch, are conventionally described as passing freely between keratinocytes, from the basal to the granular layers of the epidermis. However, the recent discovery of keratinocyte contribution to cutaneous nociception implies that their anatomical relationships are much more intimate than what has been described so far. By studying human skin biopsies in confocal laser scanning microscopy, we show that intra-epidermal nerve endings are not only closely apposed to keratinocytes, but can also be enwrapped by keratinocyte cytoplasms over their entire circumference and thus progress within keratinocyte tunnels. As keratinocytes must activate intra-epidermal nerve endings to transduce nociceptive information, these findings may help understanding the interactions between the keratinocytes and nervous system. The discovery of these nerve portions progressing in keratinocyte tunnels is a strong argument to consider that contacts between epidermal keratinocytes and intra-epidermal nerve endings are not incidental and argue for the existence of specific and rapid paracrine communication from keratinocytes to sensory neurons.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pre-eclampsia is characterized by maternal vascular malperfusion and chronic inflammation in placenta. Our purpose was to investigate the potential correlation of biological parameters with placental parameters and pregnancy outcomes in pre-eclamptic women. METHODS Pre-eclamptic women were identified by interrogation of the Medical Registry Department in six French maternities between April 2013 and June 2018. Histological parameters in placentas (weight, macroscopic and microscopic lesions), baseline maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes (course of pregnancy, newborns' characteristics) were collected. Biological parameters were blood cell ratios (Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)) collected at delivery and Placental growth factor (PlGF) measured in women with an available first trimester serum sample. Correlations of blood cell ratios and PlGF levels with placental parameters and pregnancy outcomes were assessed by Pearson's correlation test for quantitative parameters and by logistic regression analysis for qualitative parameters. RESULTS 202 pregnancies were included, among which 68 had a first trimester PlGF quantification. No correlation was found between biological parameters and placental lesions. Low PLR was correlated with low placental weight (r = 0.156, p = 0.036) and with low birth weight (r = 0.179, p = 0.015). Low PlGF was correlated with long time from pre-eclampsia diagnosis to delivery (r = -0.250, p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS There is no correlation between biological parameters and placental lesions in pre-eclamptic women. Yet, low PLR at delivery is correlated with low placental and birth weights. Moreover, low first trimester PlGF is correlated with long time from pre-eclampsia diagnosis to delivery.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy constitutes a major cause of neurodevelopmental and behavioral disabilities. Whereas it is possible for clinicians to establish a perinatal diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome, the more severe expression of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), most FASD children are late or mis-diagnosed due to a lack of clear morphological and neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Several precious years of care are consequently lost. Recent data revealed a functional placenta-brain axis involved in the control of the fetal brain angiogenesis which is impaired by in utero alcohol exposure. Because in the developing fetal brain a correct angiogenesis is required for a correct neurodevelopment, these preclinical and clinical advances pave the way for a new generation of placental biomarkers for early diagnosis of FASD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies had suggested the potential role of calcium signaling in prostate cancer (PCa) prognosis and agressiveness. We aimed to investigate selected proteins contributing to calcium (Ca2+ ) signaling, (Orai, stromal interaction molecule (STIM), and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels) and involved in cancer hallmarks, as independent predictors of systemic recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). METHODS A case-control study including 112 patients with clinically localized PCa treated by RP between 2002 and 2009 and with at least 6-years' follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups according to the absence or presence of systemic recurrence. Expression levels of 10 proteins involved in Ca2+ signaling (TRPC1, TRPC4, TRPV5, TRPV6, TRPM8, STIM1, STIM2, Orai1, Orai2, and Orai3), were assessed by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays (TMAs) constructed from paraffin-embedded PCa specimens. The level of expression of the various transcripts in PCa was assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis. RNA samples for qPCR were obtained from fresh frozen tissue samples of PCa after laser capture microdissection on RP specimens. Relative gene expression was analyzed using the 2-▵▵Ct method. RESULTS Multivariate analysis showed that increased expression of TRPC1, TRPC4, TRPV5, TRPV6, TRPM8, and Orai2 was significantly associated with a lower risk of systemic recurrence after RP, independently of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, percentage of positive biopsies, and surgical margin (SM) status (P = .007, P = .01, P < .001, P = .0065, P = .007, and P = .01, respectively). For TRPC4, TRPV5, and TRPV6, this association was also independent of Gleason score and pT stage. Moreover, overexpression of TRPV6 and Orai2 was significantly associated with longer time to recurrence after RP (P = .048 and .023, respectively). Overexpression of TRPC4, TRPV5, TRPV6, and Orai2 transcripts was observed in group R- (3.71-, 5.7-, 1.14-, and 2.65-fold increase, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to suggest the independent prognostic value of certain proteins involved in Ca2+ influx in systemic recurrence after RP: overexpression of TRPC1, TRPC4, TRPV5, TRPV6, TRPM8, and Orai2 is associated with a lower risk of systemic recurrence. TRPC4, TRPV5, and TRPV6 appear to be particularly interesting, as they are independent of the five commonly used predictive factors, that is, PSA, percentage of positive biopsies, SM status, Gleason score, and pT stage.

Abstract
Pathogenic GFM1 variants have been linked to neurological phenotypes with or without liver involvement, but only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report clinical, biochemical, and neuroimaging findings from nine unrelated children carrying GFM1 variants, 10 of which were not previously reported. All patients presented with neurological involvement-mainly axial hypotonia and dystonia during the neonatal period-with five diagnosed with West syndrome; two children had liver involvement with cytolysis episodes or hepatic failure. While two patients died in infancy, six exhibited a stable clinical course. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed the involvement of basal ganglia, brainstem, and periventricular white matter. Mutant EFG1 and OXPHOS proteins were decreased in patient's fibroblasts consistent with impaired mitochondrial translation. Thus, we expand the genetic spectrum of GFM1-linked disease and provide detailed clinical profiles of the patients that will improve the diagnostic success for other patients carrying GFM1 mutations.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+ ) acts as a ubiquitous second messenger, and normal cell and tissue physiology strictly depends on the precise regulation of Ca2+ entry, storage, and release. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism controlling extracellular Ca2+ entry, and mainly relies on the accurate interplay between the Ca2+ sensor STIM1 and the Ca2+ channel ORAI1. Mutations in STIM1 or ORAI1 result in abnormal Ca2+ homeostasis and are associated with severe human disorders. Recessive loss-of-function mutations impair SOCE and cause combined immunodeficiency, while dominant gain-of-function mutations induce excessive extracellular Ca2+ entry and cause tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) and Stormorken syndrome (STRMK). TAM and STRMK are spectra of the same multisystemic disease characterized by muscle weakness, miosis, thrombocytopenia, hyposplenism, ichthyosis, dyslexia, and short stature. To date, 42 TAM/STRMK families have been described, and here we report five additional families for which we provide clinical, histological, ultrastructural, and genetic data. In this study, we list and review all new and previously reported STIM1 and ORAI1 cases, discuss the pathomechanisms of the mutations based on the known functions and the protein structure of STIM1 and ORAI1, draw a genotype/phenotype correlation, and delineate an efficient screening strategy for the molecular diagnosis of TAM/STRMK.

Abstract
Beyond targeted therapy for patients with BRAF-mutated melanomas and immunotherapy in patients lacking BRAF mutations, anti-MEK therapy has been proposed in patients with advanced melanomas harbouring BRAF fusions. BRAF fusions diagnosis in patients with advanced melanomas is the subject of the present study. Using BRAF fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH), we searched for BRAF fusions in 74 samples of 66 patients with advanced BRAF/NRAS/KIT wild-type melanomas. We identified 2/66 (3%) patients with BRAF fusions in a brain metastasis of one patient and in a lymph node metastasis and in a cutaneous metastasis for the second patient with 90%-95% of tumour nuclei containing isolated 3'-BRAF FISH signals. As a result, we conclude that BRAF FISH in patients with advanced BRAF/NRAS/KIT wild-type melanomas is a valuable and easy-to-perform test to diagnose BRAF fusions and to identify patients who could benefit of anti-MEK targeted therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed at determining if first trimester serum biomarkers could predict adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with villitis (VUE) and chronic intervillositis of unknown etiology (CIUE). STUDY DESIGN Between January 2013 and June 2018, we selected from pathology department files placentas with VUE or CIUE associated with VUE and control placentas with available first trimester Down syndrome screening results. First trimester PAPP-A and βhCG levels were recorded. Placental growth factor (PlGF) levels were measured in patients with an available first trimester serum sample. Histological findings in placentas, course of pregnancies and newborns' characteristics were compared between cases and controls. RESULTS 78 cases and 75 controls were included. In cases, there were 21,8% intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), 30,8% small for gestational age (SGA). Compared to controls, placentas from cases were smaller (425 g [IQR 370-480] vs 460 g [IQR 390-523], p = 0,03), showed more maternal vascular malperfusion features (79,5% vs 22,7%, p < 0,0001) and more fetal vascular malperfusion features (33,3% vs 12%, p = 0,002). Cases had lower PlGF (29,74 pg/ml [IQR 19,74-36,17] vs 36,37 pg/ml [IQR 27,36-49,13], p = 0,007) and βhCG levels (0,74 MoM [IQR 0,53-1,12] vs 1,00 MoM [IQR 0,72-1,53], p = 0,002) than controls. These differences resulted from lower PlGF levels in VUE patients compared to CIUE associated with VUE patients and controls (28,35 vs 34,05 and 36,37 pg/ml, p = 0,01) and from lower βhCG levels in CIUE associated with VUE patients compared to VUE patients and controls (0,65 vs 0,86 and 1, p = 0,005). CONCLUSION Low first trimester PlGF levels in cases, especially in VUE patients, suggest that reduced angiogenesis is involved in adverse pregnancy outcomes related to VUE.

Abstract
The diagnosis of neuropathic pruritus (NP) may be difficult. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of both neuropathic pruritus and non-neuropathic pruritus (NNP) in order to elaborate a tool to help the diagnosis of NP without clinical examination. One hundred and seven patients were included: Fifty three in the NP group and Fifty four in the NNP group. In multiple regression, presence of twinges, absence of burning, worsening with activity, no worsening with stress, and relief with cold ambient temperature were independent factors that were associated with NP. A score of two criteria out of five was optimal to discriminate NP from NNP with a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 77%. Alloknesis, hyperknesis, or the ice cube test were not included because their evaluation is based on clinical examination. Future high-powered studies are needed to confirm the results of the present study.

Abstract
Meningeal melanocytic tumors are rare. We report an exceptional case of transformation of a meningeal melanocytoma in a malignant melanoma. The course of the disease extents from 61-years to 85-years and ends with the death of the patient. Besides histopathological and immunohistochemical data, we also report the array CGH study of the melanocytoma and melanoma components suggesting the malignant transformation from whole chromosome gains in the melanocytoma to additional segmental aberrations in the malignant melanoma. Beyond the rarity of this tumor subtype, this case report highlights the potential interest of molecular analyses for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in the field of meningeal melanocytic tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As exercise intolerance and exercise-induced myalgia are commonly encountered in metabolic myopathies, functional screening tests are commonly used during the diagnostic work-up. Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of isometric handgrip test (IHT) and progressive cycle ergometer test (PCET) to identify McArdle disease and myoadenylate deaminase (MAD) deficiency and to propose diagnostic algorithms using exercise-induced lactate and ammonia variations. METHODS A prospective sample of 46 patients underwent an IHT and a PCET as part of their exercise-induced myalgia and intolerance evaluation. The two diagnostics tests were compared against the results of muscle biopsy and/or the presence of mutations in PYGM. A total of 6 patients had McArdle disease, 5 a complete MAD deficiency (MAD absent), 12 a partial MAD deficiency, and 23 patients had normal muscle biopsy and acylcarnitine profile (disease control). RESULTS The two functional tests could diagnose all McArdle patients with statistical significance, combining a low lactate variation (IHT: <1 mmol/L, AUC = 0.963, P < .0001; PCET: <1 mmol/L, AUC = 0.990, P < .0001) and a large ammonia variation (IHT: >100 μmol/L, AUC = 0.944, P = .0005; PCET: >20 μmol/L, AUC = 1). PCET was superior to IHT for MAD absent diagnosis, combining very low ammonia variation (<10 μmol/L, AUC = 0.910, P < .0001) and moderate lactate variation (>1 mmol/L). CONCLUSIONS PCET-based decision tree was more accurate than IHT, with respective generalized squared correlations of 0.796 vs 0.668. IHT and PCET are both interesting diagnostic tools to identify McArdle disease, whereas cycle ergometer exercise is more efficient to diagnose complete MAD deficiency.

Abstract
Background Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation is a rare condition with approximately 100 reported cases. Its clinical manifestations are varied. We report here a novel presentation of this disease. Case presentation A 61-year-old Caucasian man presented with rapidly progressive paralysis of the IX, X, XI and XII right cranial nerves associated with right central facial nerve palsy. Brain computed tomography angiography and cerebral catheter angiography found a focal fusiform enlargement of the distal cervical portion of the right internal carotid artery, related to a pseudo-aneurysm suggesting an evolution of a dissection and intra-cranial vessel dysplasia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple asymmetrical subcortical regions of hyperintensity on T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences. Punctiform cortical hyposignals on T2-weighted gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging sequences were mostly congruent with the white matter hyperintensities. There was a decreased cerebral perfusion at the frontal hyperintense fluid-attenuated inversion recovery region. Spectrometry identified a lactate-lipid peak. A brain biopsy showed intravascular amyloid deposits. Corticosteroid therapy was initiated, leading to a dramatic improvement of both clinical condition and magnetic resonance imaging brain lesions. Conclusion This case report suggests that extra-cranial vasculitis and dysplasia can exceptionally be found in patients satisfying cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation criteria.
