Abstract
PURPOSE Addiction-focused eye movement desensitization reprocessing (AF-EMDR) is a viable add-on therapy to treat memories that drive addiction cravings. However, little research has explored AF-EMDR and its effects in people with substance abuse disorder (SUD). The purposes of this study were to determine the feasibility of conducting AF-EMDR and to test the preliminary efficacy of AF-EMDR on overall cravings experienced by persons with SUD, craving, perseverations associated with addiction, and irrational cognitions related to addiction. METHODS This pilot study used a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with an experimental group (AF-EMDR + cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT]) and a control group (CBT Only). Thirty participants were recruited from a residential program or a partial hospitalization program in a recovery center in Florida, from October 2021 through January 2022 and randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 15) or the control group (n = 15). RESULTS All participants adhered to the four-session 60-min AF-EMDR intervention and post-intervention data collection; 98.33% completed all four sessions. Results indicated significant reductions in cravings, perseverative thoughts about substance of choice, and irrational cognitions among participants in both the experimental (AF-EMDR + CBT) and control (CBT Only) groups during the intervention; however, there was no significant difference between groups. CONCLUSIONS The results showed positive trends in decreasing craving. However, more clinical trials with a larger sample are necessary to assess the efficacy and sustainability of such effects in persons with SUD.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) outperforms adjuvant ICB for treatment of stage IIIB-D melanoma, but potential biomarkers of response, such as interferon-gamma (IFNγ) signature and tumor mutational burden (TMB), are insufficient. Preclinical studies suggest that emotional distress (ED) can negatively affect antitumor immune responses via β-adrenergic or glucocorticoid signaling. We performed a post hoc analysis evaluating the association between pretreatment ED and clinical responses after neoadjuvant ICB treatment in patients with stage IIIB-D melanoma in the phase 2 PRADO trial ( NCT02977052 ). The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer scale for emotional functioning was used to identify patients with ED (n = 28) versus those without (n = 60). Pretreatment ED was significantly associated with reduced major pathologic responses (46% versus 65%, adjusted odds ratio 0.20, P = 0.038) after adjusting for IFNγ signature and TMB, reduced 2-year relapse-free survival (74% versus 91%, adjusted hazard ratio 3.81, P = 0.034) and reduced 2-year distant metastasis-free survival (78% versus 95%, adjusted hazard ratio 4.33, P = 0.040) after adjusting for IFNγ signature. RNA sequencing analyses of baseline patient samples could not identify clear β-adrenergic- or glucocorticoid-driven mechanisms associated with these reduced outcomes. Pretreatment ED may be a marker associated with clinical responses after neoadjuvant ICB in melanoma and warrants further investigation. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT02977052 .

Abstract
Urban runoff is a significant source of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments, especially in coastal areas. Despite urban stormwater runoff being considered a major pathway of anthropogenic particles there's no studies about the impact of stormwater upgrades on microparticle transport. Moreover, due to the influence of anthropogenic activities, including maritime traffic and maintenance, on coastal environments, it is crucial to identify plastic debris from both inland and in-shore sources. This study evaluates characteristics, abundance, and distribution of microplastics in subtidal sediments from the southwestern Atlantic region, influenced by a recently upgraded stormwater outfall and port facilities. Herein, we have analyzed temporal trends, including seasonal dynamics and their relation with the pre- and post-upgrade of the stormwater outfall. Three main types of anthropogenic microparticles were observed: common plastic (MPs), paints (Pps), and tire wear particles (TWPs). Microparticle groups varied in morphology, color, and size distribution, including uncommon microparticle debris. Analysis by FTIR and Raman spectroscopies allows the identification of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile polymers for MPs mainly. Pigments such as Naphthol AS, phthalocyanine, and quinacridone have been identified in Pps. SEM-EDS and FTIR analysis of collected TWPs revealed similar trace metals constituents and infrared signals to those observed in tire road samples. Spatial and temporal abundances of microparticle groups were significantly different (p < 0.05), mainly related to the distance from the stormwater outfall and seasons. TWPs showed the most significant seasonal increment rate among pre and post-upgrade periods. Furthermore, the upgrades made to the stormwater system have been observed to intensify the transport and increase the presence of specific anthropogenic microparticles in subtidal sediments. Based on these findings, the occurrence of TWPs emerges as a reliable urban runoff indicator to differentiate ex and in-situ sources in multipolluted coastal environments.

Abstract
We present the first search for the pair production of dark particles X via K_{L}^{0}→XX with X decaying into two photons using the data collected by the KOTO experiment. No signal was observed in the mass range of 40-110 MeV/c^{2} and 210-240 MeV/c^{2}. This sets upper limits on the branching fractions as B(K_{L}^{0}→XX)<(1-4)×10^{-7} and B(K_{L}^{0}→XX)<(1-2)×10^{-6} at the 90% confidence level for the two mass regions, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The future of minimally invasive surgery in revisional surgery is experiencing changes with new equipment such as the magnetic assistance that can be used with single port devices in order to perform an incisionless surgery (Luengas R, Galindo J, Castro M, et al. Surg Obes Relat Dis. 2021;17(1):147-152). Magnetic assistance through an auxiliary grasper with two internal magnets serves beyond liver retraction in different steps of the surgery improving the surgical field by obtaining a better visualization and triangulation. PURPOSE Expose the feasibility of using two internal magnetic graspers by single port performing a conversion surgery of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS A 36-year-old female patient underwent a SG in 2015 and consults in 2021 because of severe GERD with a 33-point GERD-HRQL score. She has preoperative evaluation for a conversion surgery from SG to RYGB. Using a single port device through the umbilicus, an additional 5 mm trocar was placed in the left side of the abdomen. Two internal magnets were introduced through the umbilicus, and they were controlled by two external magnets placed over the abdomen with an articulated arm. The first magnet was used for liver retraction and the second one to perform both anastomoses, close the intermesenteric and Petersen defect, acting as an auxiliary grasper. The ethical committee approval was obtained through an informed consent from the participant included in the study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab has yielded high response rates in patients with macroscopic stage III melanoma. These response rates translated to high short-term survival rates. However, data on long-term survival and disease recurrence are lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS In OpACIN, 20 patients with macroscopic stage III melanoma were randomized to ipilimumab 3 mg/kg plus nivolumab 1 mg/kg q3w four cycles of adjuvant or split two cycles of neoadjuvant and two adjuvant. In OpACIN-neo, 86 patients with macroscopic stage III melanoma were randomized to arm A (2× ipilimumab 3 mg/kg plus nivolumab 1 mg/kg q3w; n = 30), arm B (2× ipilimumab 1 mg/kg plus nivolumab 3 mg/kg q3w; n = 30), or arm C (2× ipilimumab 3 mg/kg q3w plus 2× nivolumab 3 mg/kg q2w; n = 26) followed by surgery. RESULTS The median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached in either trial. After a median follow-up of 69 months for OpACIN, 1/7 patients with a pathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy had disease recurrence. The estimated 5-year RFS and OS rates for the neoadjuvant arm were 70% and 90% versus 60% and 70% for the adjuvant arm. After a median follow-up of 47 months for OpACIN-neo, the estimated 3-year RFS and OS rates were 82% and 92%, respectively. The estimated 3-year RFS rate for OpACIN-neo was 95% for patients with a pathologic response versus 37% for patients without a pathologic response (P < 0.001). In multiple regression analyses, pathologic response was the strongest predictor of disease recurrence. Of the 12 patients with distant disease recurrence after neoadjuvant therapy, 5 responded to subsequent anti-PD-1 and 8 to targeted therapy, although 7 patients showed progression after the initial response. CONCLUSIONS Updated data confirm the high survival rates after neoadjuvant combination checkpoint inhibition in macroscopic stage III melanoma, especially for patients with a pathologic response. Pathologic response is the strongest surrogate marker for long-term outcome.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is a controversy about correlation between voltage and thickness in the atrial myocardium and their evolution from paroxysmal to persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).
Purpose
This is an observational study to compare voltage and thickness of different areas on the left atrium in paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.
Methods
Twenty-one patients underwent atrial fibrillation ablation. Points with electrical information from an electroanatiomical map in sinus rhythym were acquiered during the ablation procedure covering the whole atrial surface. CT was acquired in all patients before the procedure and endo- and epicardium from the atrium was segmented for the atrial thickness calculation. All the points from the electromecanical map were projected on the thickness map to have both information on the same location. 3D atrium was segmented in 5 areas for the analysis: Lateral, Anterior, Septal, Inferior-Posterior and Superior-Posterior (Figure 1). Voltage and thickness values among different areas and between AF type were compared.
Results
11 paroxysmal and 10 persistent AF patients were analyzed acquiring 452±207 points per patient and 1897±750 points per area. There was no linear correlation between voltage and thickness comparing all the patients nor among different areas nor between AF type (R<0.2 in all cases).
Regarding paroxysmal AF patients, septum showed significatly lower voltage compared with the other segments, posterior, lateral, anterior and roof (1.3±1.4, 2±1.8, 2±1.6, 1.7±1.5, 2±1.6, P<0.001). Posterior segment showed the highest voltage. The thickness analysis showed the septum segment as thinner segment and lateral as thicker segment (1.3±1.5,1.7±0.8, P<0.001) (Figure 2).
Regarding persisten AF patients: septum showed significatly lower voltage compared with the other segments, posterior, lateral, anterior and roof who shows higher voltage (1±0.8*, 1.5±1.2, 1.9±1.7, 1.5±1.4, 2±1.6) (Figure 2). The thickness analysis showed the anterior segment as thinner segment and lateral as the thickest segment (1.6±0.8, 1.9±0.9 (P<0.001), different like on paroxysmal AF population.
Comparing voltage and thicknes between paroxysmal and persistent AF, all the segments on persistent population showed lower voltage values, with significant differences on septal, posterior and anterior walls (1±0.8 vs 1.3±1.4, 1.5±1.2 vs 2±1.8, 1.5±1.4 vs 1.7±1.5, P<0.001). On the other hand, all segments on persistent population showed statisticaly signignificant thicker myocardium in camparison with paroxysmal population (Figure 2).
Conclusions
According to our findings, there is no linear correlation between voltage and thickness. Persistent AF atria show thicker walls but with lower voltages in comparison with paroxysmal AF atria.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The efficacy of rituximab in Primary CNS Lymphoma (PCNSL) is still under debate. We performed an international randomized phase III study to investigate the efficacy of rituximab when added to methotrexate, BCNU, teniposide and prednisolone (MBVP) in PCNSL. The primary endpoint, event-free survival (EFS) at one year, was similar in both treatment groups and was previously reported (Bromberg et al, Lancet Oncology 2019; 20: 216-228). Here we present long-term follow up results after a median follow-up of 82 months.
Material and Methods
between August 2010 and May 2016 200 newly-diagnosed, non-immunocompromised patients with PCNSL aged 18-70 years and WHO performance status 0-3 were randomized between treatment with MBVP chemotherapy with (arm B) or without (arm A) rituximab. The rituximab was given weekly in the first MBVP cycle, fortnightly in the second (in total 6 rituximab administrations). Responsive patients received consolidation with high-dose cytarabine, and patients aged ≤ 60 were subsequently treated with low-dose WBRT if in CR/CRu; in case of PR with an additional boost on the tumor. Patients > 60 were not irradiated. All patients gave written informed consent.
Results
The modified intention-to-treat (m-ITT) population consisted of 199 eligible patients, 55% were men. The median age was 61 yrs (range 26-70), the median WHO performance status 1 (range 0-3). The primary endpoint EFS at one year was 49% (95% CI 39-58)(MBVP) vs 55% (95% CI 44-64) (R-MBVP). The EFS at 5 years was 25% (17-34) vs 36% (27-46) respectively, hazard ratio (HR) 0.85, 95% CI 0.61-1.18, p=0.33 (adjusted for age and WHO performance status). The progression-free survival (PFS) at one and 5 years were 58% (47-67) and 29% (21-39) (MBVP) and 65% (54-73) and 43% (33-53) (R-MBVP) ) (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.52-1.02, p=0.07). 80 patients were still alive. Overall survival (OS) at 5 years for MBVP and R-MBVP was 49% (39-59) and 53% (43-63) respectively. A total of 111 patients had progression or relapse, 63 after MBVP and 48 after R-MBVP. 79% of these patients received further treatment. The median OS after progression/relapse was 9.7 months (5.9-19.9) in the MBVP arm, and 6.1 months (2.4-13.1) in the R-MBVP arm (HR 1.25, 95% CI 0.83-1.87, p=0.29). 119 patients died, 64 in the MBVP arm and 55 in the R-MBVP arm. Causes of death were PCNSL in 69% of the patients (both arms), complication of treatment (6% vs 5%), secondary malignancy (5% vs 2%) and other or unknown causes (20% vs 24%). Age was the strongest prognostic factor for EFS, PFS and OS in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion
in the modified-ITT population we found no statistically significant benefit of the addition of rituximab to MBVP on EFS, PFS and OS in patients with PCNSL, even after a long follow-up of median 82 months. Therefore, the results of this study do not support the use of rituximab with MBVP in the treatment of primary CNS lymphoma.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Sarcopenia is defined by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, combined with muscle fatty infiltration. Lung cancer patients frequently suffer from sarcopenia which may be associated with poorer post-operative outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether preoperative CT-based sarcopenia was associated with postoperative outcomes and survival after VATS resections in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients that underwent anatomical resection for NSCLC between 2012 and 2019. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) and muscle quality (SMRA and IMAT) were measured at the L3 vertebral level on preoperative CT or PET/CT scans. We used the following SMI cut-off values for sarcopenia: 52.4 cm2 /m2 for men and 38.5 cm2 /m2 for women.
Results
In total, 401 patients (sex ratio F/M: 173/228, mean age: 67 +/- 9.3 years) underwent VATS lobectomies (n=304) and segmentectomies (n=97) for NSCLC. Overall morbidity and mortality were 42.4% and 0.2%, respectively. The median length of stay was 7 days (IQR: 4–10). Sarcopenia was identified in 92 patients (23%). Patients with sarcopenia were predominantly males (75% vs 25%, p<0.001) and had lower BMI (21.4 vs 26.5, p<0.001). Patients with sarcopenia presented significantly increased morbidity (53.2% vs 39.2%, p=0.017) and had longer lengths of stay (6 vs 8 days, p=0.032). However, only lower BMI and ASA score >2 remained associated with increased morbidity on multivariate analysis. The median overall survival was comparable between patients with sarcopenia and those without sarcopenia (41 vs. 46 months, p=0.240).
Conclusion
Based on CT assessment alone, preoperative sarcopenia appeared to have little impact on postoperative clinical outcomes or overall survival in patients undergoing VATS pulmonary resection. Further studies should also consider muscle strength and physical performance, in addition to CT imaging, for preoperative risk assessment.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Pulmonary segmentectomy has shown comparable oncological results to lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) of less than 2 cm. However, controversy remains for tumors of larger size. The aim of this study was to compare short-term outcomes and local control in pT1c pN0 NSCLC that were intentionally treated by VATS segmentectomy or lobectomy.
Methods
Multicenter retrospective study from January 2014 to October 2021 of 162 consecutive patients undergoing complete (R0) anatomical resections for pT1c pN0 NSCLC. Two groups, VATS lobectomy (VL) or VATS segmentectomy (VS) were defined according to the extension of the resection. Patients’ characteristics, postoperative outcomes and survival were compared.
Results
In total, 162 patients underwent VL (n=81) or VS (n=81). Except for age (median of 68 vs 71 years, p=0.034) and past medical history of cancer (32% vs 48%, p=0.038), there was no difference between VL and VS in terms of demographics and comorbidities (table1). Segmentectomies were performed in upper lobes in 68% and single segments represented 46% of all cases. Conversion thoracotomy rate was 5% in both groups. Morbidity were similar in both groups (34% vs 30%, p=0.5). The median time for chest tube removal (3 vs 2 days, p=0.002) and median LOS (6 vs 5 days, p=0.039) were in favor of the VS group. Significantly larger tumor (25 mm vs 23.5 mm p=0.001) and an increased number of lymph nodes removal (median 14 vs 10, p<0.001) were found in the VL group. During the follow-up (median: 31 months), no statistical difference was found for local and distant recurrence in VL groups (12.3%) and VS group (6.2%) (p=0.414). Overall survival was comparable in-between both groups (p=0.166).
Conclusion
Despite a short follow-up, our preliminary data shows that local control is comparable for VATS lobectomy and VATS segmentectomy. Further prospective randomized trials are needed to corroborate these results.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) therapy has revolutionized the outcome of certain cancers such as malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). However, patient responsiveness to this treatment remains unpredictable. Recently, a role for the gut microbiota composition has emerged for patients to generate a robust immune response against their tumors, following immunotherapy. Here, we studied the impact of Prembion®, a pre-biotic and modulator of the gut microbiota, on tumor control and lymphocyte infiltration in a murine MPM model treated by ICI.
Methods
Prembion® (diluted into drinking water) was administrated to BALBc mice for 14 days. These animals were then inoculated orthotopically with a syngeneic MPM cell line (AB12-luc cells injected in the pleura) and followed by bioluminescence imaging. We determined the tumor growth and mouse survival in different groups: untreated control, Prembion®, IgG control, anti-PDL-1, anti-CTLA4, Prembion®+anti-PDL-1 and Prembion®+anti-CTLA4. A correlation between tumor response/animal survival and MPM infiltration with CD8+ lymphocytes was also performed by immunohistochemistry.
Results
Prembion® was well tolerated and did not affect animal weight or activity. Interestingly, Prembion® was as effective as anti-PDL1 and anti-CTLA4 monotherapy on tumor control, prolonging survival by 4.0 ± 1.1 days compared to controls (p<0.05). Moreover Prembion® potentiated anti-CTLA4 efficacy with a significant improvement in mouse survival of the Prembion®+anti-CTLA4 compared to controls (3.6 ± 1.1 days, p<0.05). Additionally, this finding correlated with enhanced MPM infiltration by CD8+ lymphocytes compared to controls (p<0.05).
Conclusion
Prembion® positively regulated the adaptive immune response against MPM and helped to improve the impact of anti-CTLA4 ICI on MPM. Further work focusing on the gut microbiome changes induced by Prembion® are ongoing to better understand the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
For patients with end stage lung disease, lung transplantation (Ltx) is the unique treatment option. Nevertheless, a large number of lung allografts fail, because of acute or chronic rejection. Innate immune responses following Ltx play a critical role in the development of primary graft dysfunction, and ultimately promote the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, leading to increased mortality after lung transplantation. Here, we focus on the mechanisms responsible for disruption of the cells membranes integrity, resulting in the release of Damage Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs) and activation of cell death pathways triggering cell injury in lungs with different preservation status.
Methods
Rat lungs were exposed to cold ischemia (CI group, n=9) or warm ischemia (WI group, n=9). In CI group, after Perfadex flushing, and hypothermic preservation (4 h) left lung was transplanted. In WI group, after 1 h of in situ WI, flashing and 3 h cold preservation the left lung was transplanted. Lung mechanics were determined during reperfusion. Recipients were sacrificed at 30, 60 and 120 min after Ltx. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed on the grafts to measure markers of cellular injury, and cytokines. Cell death markers were determined in graft tissue. Biological samples were kept at -80°C for additional analysis.
Results
Compared to CI, WI group displayed significantly decreased graft function associated with increased activation of pyroptotic cell death (NLRP3, caspase1, IL-1β) pathway, whereas apoptotic (caspas3 and caspase7) and necroptotic (RIP1, RIP3, MLKL) cell death pathways activation were similar in both groups. WI group showed more important cellular damage with DAMPs release (LDH, sRAGE, HMGB) and inflammation (CXCL1, IL1-β, IL-33).
Conclusion
Our results suggest that pyroptosis could play a critical role in the development of early graft dysfunction in lungs subjected to warm ischemia. Inhibition of pyroptotic pathway could be a strategy to improve damaged donor lungs.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a deadly disease with limited treatment options. Recently, dual immune checkpoint inhibition therapy (ICI) showed improved patient survival. However, only a fraction of patients were responsive to immunotherapy. One potential mechanism of MPM resistance to ICIs could be their endothelial anergy that hampers leukocyte trafficking to the tumor bulk. Here, we hypothesized that vascular-targeted low dose photodynamic therapy (L-PDT), treatment of MPM could relieve tumor endothelial anergy and improve immunotherapy efficacy.
Methods
Using an orthotopic syngeneic MPM murine model (AB12 cells injected in the pleura of BALB/c mice), we determined the impact of L-PDT on the endothelial expression of E-Selectin, a key molecule involved in leukocyte diapedesis by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, to confirm the role of E-selectin, we determined the extravasation of effector T cells (CD8+/CD4+) by immunostaining in L-PDT treated tumors in the presence or absence of an E-selectin blocking antibody. Finally, we assessed tumor growth/survival of our MPM murine model treated with L-PDT alone or combined to ICIs.
Results
L-PDT pre-treatment enhanced MPM endothelial E-Selectin expression in vivo. The latter was associated with increased CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte infiltration of MPM following L-PDT which did not occur after E-Selectin blockade. Also, L-PDT pre-treatment of MPM influenced favorably tumor control, mouse survival and the impact of ICIs compared to controls.
Conclusion
L-PDT pre-treatment relieves endothelial anergy in MPM which improves antitumor immunity and response to ICI. This approach could constitute a promising pre-treatment option, in combination with ICIs, for the management of this deadly disease.

Abstract
The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study® is a 10-year longitudinal study of children recruited at ages 9 and 10. A battery of neuroimaging tasks are administered biennially to track neurodevelopment and identify individual differences in brain function. This study reports activation patterns from functional MRI (fMRI) tasks completed at baseline, which were designed to measure cognitive impulse control with a stop signal task (SST; N = 5,547), reward anticipation and receipt with a monetary incentive delay (MID) task (N = 6,657) and working memory and emotion reactivity with an emotional N-back (EN-back) task (N = 6,009). Further, we report the spatial reproducibility of activation patterns by assessing between-group vertex/voxelwise correlations of blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) activation. Analyses reveal robust brain activations that are consistent with the published literature, vary across fMRI tasks/contrasts and slightly correlate with individual behavioral performance on the tasks. These results establish the preadolescent brain function baseline, guide interpretation of cross-sectional analyses and will enable the investigation of longitudinal changes during adolescent development.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) is now the preferred approach for standard anatomical pulmonary resections. However, operative time (OT) for this technique is correlated to many aspects, such as the surgical complexity or the surgeon’s experience and skills. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with prolonged OTs and to assess the impact of OT on the development of post-operative complications after VATS anatomical pulmonary resections.
Methods
Retrospective monocentric study including all consecutive patients undergoing a VATS anatomical pulmonary resection for benign or malignant lesions between January 2010 and December 2019. Postoperative outcomes were compared between short (<150 minutes) and long (≥150 minutes) OTs. A multivariate analysis was carried out to identify predictors of longer OTs and post-operative complications.
Results
A total of 836 patients underwent a VATS anatomical pulmonary resection for malignant (n = 767, 91.7%) or benign (n = 69, 8.3%) lesions. Lobectomies were performed in 555 (66.4%), segmentectomies in 250 (29.9%), sleeve lobectomies in 16 (1.9%), bilobectomies in 11 (1.3%) and pneumonectomy in 4 (0.5%) patients. The conversion rate to thoracotomy was 7.7%. Of those 836 patients, 495 (59.2%) were operated within 150 minutes. During the 30-postoperative day period, the overall morbidity was significantly lower in the short OT group (29.1% vs. 40.5%; p = 0.001). Both the duration of drainage (3 vs. 4 days; p < 0.00001) and the length of hospital stay (6 vs. 7 days; p < 0.00001) were significantly reduced in the short OT group. Two predictors of long OT were identified on multivariate analysis: male sex (OR 1.41, p = 0.04) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR 3.46, p = 0.003). A long OT was identified as an individual predictor of postoperative complications (OR 1.84, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion
A prolonged OT is an individual risk factor for postoperative complications in patients undergoing VATS anatomical pulmonary resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a deadly disease with dismal prognosis. Prior studies combining surgery with intrapleural hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC) have shown improved survivals in selected patients with MPM. However, the mechanisms by which IPHC acts on MPM and its microenvironment remains unknown. Here we focus on tumor endothelial adhesion molecule expression patterns.
Methods
First, we determined the impact of IPHC on MPM tumor and vascular compartments in vitro using a novel bioincubater for hyperthermic cell culture. The cytotoxicity of normo (37 °C) / hyperthermic (42 °C for 60 minutes) cisplatin/carboplatin therapies were evaluated on four MPM (MSTO211H, H-Meso, AE17 and AB12) and one endothelial (EC-RF24) cell lines at a minimum of 24 hours using a presto-blue assay. Second, we treated endothelial cells with IPHC (60 min, 42 °C at optimized cytotoxic concentrations) and determined its impact on pro-immunogenic adhesion molecule (E-selectin, VE-cadherin, VCAM and Connexin-43) expression at 24 hours by Western blot.
Results
Tumor and endothelial cell viability decreased with increasing doses of both chemotherapeutics but was not affected by hyperthermia (IC50 with or without hyperthermia of each cell line at 24 hours reported in Figure 1A). Interestingly, endothelial cell line IC50 was much higher than that of MPM tumor cells for both chemotherapeutics (Figure 1A). Pro-immunogenic adhesion molecule E-Selectin was increased at 24 hours by IPHC with both chemotherapeutics while VE-Cadherin, VCAM and Connexin-43 were not affected (Figure 1B).
Conclusion
Hyperthermia adds no cytotoxicity to intrapleural chemotherapy. However, IPHC favors pro-immunogenic endothelial E-selectin expression. The latter could help induce patient immunity against their MPM and improve survival. Confirmation of these findings in vivo is mandatory.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
A prospective single center study to assess the objective impact on motion performance of a VATS simulation program on thoracic surgery trainees.
Methods
We developed a 6-month VATS simulation training program including exercises of progressive complexity on 3 different black box simulators: a 2D and 3D lobectomy model (Stupnik®) and a 3D perfused lobectomy model (Crabtree®). Between November 2019 and 2020, all consecutive thoracic surgery residents (study group) were prospectively enrolled in this weekly training program that was supervised by a board certified thoracic surgeon. We compared an objective performance evaluation of the study group before and after the training program by assessing movement parameters (distance in cm, time in sec) and absence of shock/extreme motion (%) on 3 simple standardized thoracoscopic exercises (peg placement on a board, rope insertion in loops and precision circle cutting) using the Simball®. Also, we determined the objective performance 6 months apart of 5 final year medical students (unexperienced controls) that were not trained.
Results
There were 7 residents (2 female and 5 male, median age: 29 [range: 26-34] years) who completed the 6-month VATS simulation training program. Five residents were in their first year while two had >3 year experience. The study group's objective performance improved significantly for all three movement parameters in all standardized exercises (Figure 1) after the training program. The objective performance of the unexperienced control group was comparable to the study group before training, but it remained unchanged at 6 months (p > 0.05). When comparing unexperienced and advanced residents, we observed that the training program had more impact on improving the performance for unexperienced residents (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
This study suggests that the implementation of a VATS simulation training program improves the objective performance of trainees compared to controls. Such programs could be interesting adjuncts for residents.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The ventilation-to-carbon dioxide output (VE/VCO2) slope could predict morbidity and mortality after lung resection. The aim of the study was to identify whether VE/VCO2 slope obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) was an independent predictor of cardiopulmonary complications after anatomical pulmonary resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
Methods
We reviewed the files of all consecutive patients that underwent pulmonary anatomical resections by VATS between January 2010 and October 2020. The data were extracted from the registry of the Centre for Thoracic Surgery of Western Switzerland. Pneumonectomies were excluded from the study. We used a multivariable Cox regression to investigate the risk of cardiopulmonary complications associated with the VE/VCO2 slope and other possible confounders, including the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), the CPET data and pulmonary functions.
Results
In total, 1392 patients (mean age: 66±11 years; ratio female: 47%) underwent anatomical resection by VATS. CPET was performed in 204 patients (15%). However, the VE/VCO2 slope data were available in 145 patients, which were included for the analysis. Patients underwent segmentectomies (N = 42) and lobectomies (N = 101) mainly for lung cancer (96%). The average percentage of the predicted VO2max was of 70±17%. Maximal effort during the CPET (respiratory coefficient ratio >1.1) was not reached in 30% of patients, without impact on the VE/VCO2 slope (39±6 vs 37±7, P = 0.21). Cardiopulmonary complications appeared in 32% of patients with no mortality at 90 days. In the multivariate analysis, VE/VCO2 slope >35 was correlated with cardiopulmonary complications (OR 3.5, 95% CI [1.3-9.3], P = 0.012). CCI, pulmonary functions, peak VO2 and the extension of the anatomical resection was not associated with cardiopulmonary complications.
Conclusion
VE/VCO2 slope above 35 predicts postoperative cardiopulmonary complications in anatomical resections by VATS. The VE/VCO2 slope is independent of the intensity of effort during the CPET. The impact of prehabilitation on the slope should be determined.

Abstract
OBJECTIFS The diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma secreting during pregnancy is a rare and serious situation, involving maternal-fetal prognosis. The purpose of this case series is to discuss the management of these patients. METHODS This is a retrospective study of cases of pheochromocytoma (n=2) or paraganglioma (n=2) managed during pregnancy between 2013 and 2020 in one center (Lille, France). RESULTS We report four cases of patients with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma during pregnancy, at respectively 4, 28, 31 and 34 weeks of amenorrhea (AS). Their pregnancies were affected by a sudden onset of hypertension sometimes associated with headaches, sweating, and palpitations. All patients delivered by Caesarean section after calcium channel blocker impregnation, with a good outcome. Tumor removal took place at a distance from delivery for each patient. CONCLUSIONS The therapeutic strategy includes antihypertensive treatment with calcium channel blockers or alphablockers and surgical curative treatment linked to gestational age. Multidisciplinary management as well as early diagnosis can improve the maternal-fetal prognosis. The preferred way of delivery is Caesarean section, but vaginal delivery can also be considered. Removal should ideally take place at a distance from the birth. The analysis of these cases has led to the development of a protocol for monitoring and management of parturients with diagnosis of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma during pregnancy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Post-operative intra-abdominal adhesions remain the leading cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO) representing one of the main diagnoses warranting emergency laparotomies. The National Audit in Small Bowel Obstruction advocates the use of water-soluble contrast agents (WSCA) as initial management of SBO. We aim to assess the role and outcomes of WSCA and its rate in successfully managing SBO non-operatively.
Method
We conducted a 2-year retrospective analysis including all patients admitted with adhesive SBO. Outcomes of patients who received WSCA were compared to those who hadn’t.
Results
118 patients were included, 27(23%) of which required immediate surgery while 91(77%) were initially managed conservatively. From the latter group, 53(58.2%) received WSCA whilst 38(41.8%) didn’t. Of the group that received WSCA, 36(39.5%) were successfully managed non-operatively, compared to 26(28.5%) that didn’t, this however lacked statistical significance. LOS didn’t differ between these two groups (5 days vs. 5.5 days, p = 0.805). 32% of the patients required eventual surgical intervention needing longer LOS regardless of receiving WSCA (6.6 days vs. 13.6 days p < 0.001).
Conclusions
Adhesive SBO can be managed conservatively in up to two-thirds of patients. WSCA usage has a positive impact but needs further assessment in larger studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines for pathological evaluation of neoadjuvant specimens and pathological response categories have been developed by the International Neoadjuvant Melanoma Consortium (INMC). As part of the Optimal Neo-adjuvant Combination Scheme of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab (OpACIN-neo) clinical trial of neoadjuvant combination anti-programmed cell death protein 1/anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 immunotherapy for stage III melanoma, we sought to determine interobserver reproducibility of INMC histopathological assessment principles, identify specific tumour bed histopathological features of immunotherapeutic response that correlated with recurrence and relapse-free survival (RFS) and evaluate proposed INMC pathological response categories for predicting recurrence and RFS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinicopathological characteristics of lymph node dissection specimens of 83 patients enrolled in the OpACIN-neo clinical trial were evaluated. Two methods of assessing histological features of immunotherapeutic response were evaluated: the previously described immune-related pathologic response (irPR) score and our novel immunotherapeutic response score (ITRS). For a subset of cases (n = 29), cellular composition of the tumour bed was analysed by flow cytometry. RESULTS There was strong interobserver reproducibility in assessment of pathological response (κ = 0.879) and percentage residual viable melanoma (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.965). The immunotherapeutic response subtype with high fibrosis had the strongest association with lack of recurrence (P = 0.008) and prolonged RFS (P = 0.019). Amongst patients with criteria for pathological non-response (pNR, >50% viable tumour), all who recurred had ≥70% viable melanoma. Higher ITRS and irPR scores correlated with lack of recurrence in the entire cohort (P = 0.002 and P ≤ 0.0001). The number of B lymphocytes was significantly increased in patients with a high fibrosis subtype of treatment response (P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS There is strong reproducibility for assessment of pathological response using INMC criteria. Immunotherapeutic response of fibrosis subtype correlated with improved RFS, and may represent a biomarker. Potential B-cell contribution to fibrosis development warrants further study. Reclassification of pNR to a threshold of ≥70% viable melanoma and incorporating additional criteria of <10% fibrosis subtype of response may identify those at highest risk of recurrence, but requires validation.

Abstract
AIMS Adolescents and young adults aged 15-39 years with cancer face unique medical, practical and psychosocial issues. In the UK, principal treatment centres and programmes have been designed to care for teenage and young adult patients aged 13-24 years in an age-appropriate manner. However, for young adults (YAs) aged 25-39 years with cancer, little access to age-specific support is available. The aim of this study was to examine this possible gap by qualitatively exploring YA care experiences, involving patients as research partners in the analysis to ensure robust results. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a phenomenological qualitative study with YAs diagnosed with any cancer type between ages 25 and 39 years old in the last 5 years. Participants took part in interviews or focus groups and data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results were shaped in an iterative process with the initial coders and four YA patients who did not participate in the study to improve the rigor of the results. RESULTS Sixty-five YAs with a range of tumour types participated. We identified seven themes and 13 subthemes. YAs found navigating the healthcare system difficult and commonly experienced prolonged diagnostic pathways. Participants felt under-informed about clinical details and the long-term implications of side-effects on daily life. YAs found online resources overwhelming but also a source of information and treatment support. Some patients regretted not discussing fertility before cancer treatment or felt uninformed or rushed when making fertility preservation decisions. A lack of age-tailored content or age-specific groups deterred YAs from accessing psychological support and rehabilitation services. CONCLUSIONS YAs with cancer may miss some benefits provided to teenagers and young adults in age-tailored cancer services. Improving services for YAs in adult settings should focus on provision of age-specific information and access to existing relevant support.

Abstract
Chlorothalonil (CLT) is a broad spectrum, and non-systemic fungicide applied in foliar structures to prevent and treat pathogens. This compound reaches to aquatic environments and affects the biota. In this context, the main goal of this study was to assess the effects of CLT at biochemical, tissular, and individual levels of biological organization using the invasive bivalve Corbicula largillierti as a bioindicator species. Clams were exposed to different sublethal concentrations (0, 10, 20 and 50 µg. L-1 CLT) for 96 h. At biochemical level, the enzymatic activity (Glutathione-s-Transferase, Catalase, Acetyl-, Butiryl- and Carboxyl-esterases) and lipid peroxidation were measured in gills and the visceral mass. Also, the digestive gland morphometry through quantitative histological indexes was registered at the tissular level. Finally, filtering activity and burial behavior at the individual level were measured. At the highest CLT concentration, the most significant changes were observed in enzymatic activity (except for butyrylcholinesterase), lipid peroxidation and in digestive gland morphometry. It was also registered increases of the filtering activity and the latency time to burial. Most of the biomarkers assessed showed significant responses under CLT exposure. Therefore, taking into account that C. largillierti was affected by CLT, it can be expected that other species could be in a potential risk if this fungicide is present in freshwater systems.

Abstract
The inflammatory response to periodontal pathogens is dynamically controlled by the chromatin state on inflammatory gene promoters. In the present study, we have focused on the effect of the methyltransferase SETD1B on histone H3 lysine K4 (H3K4) histone trimethylation on inflammatory gene promoters. Experiments were based on 3 model systems: 1) an in vitro periodontal ligament (PDL) cell culture model for the study of SETD1 function as it relates to histone methylation and inflammatory gene expression using Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a pathogen, 2) a subcutaneous implantation model to determine the relationship between SETD1 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) through its activation inhibitor BOT-64, and 3) a mouse periodontitis model to test whether the NF-κB activation inhibitor BOT-64 reverses the inflammatory tissue destruction associated with periodontal disease. In our PDL progenitor cell culture model, P. gingivalis LPS increased H3K4me3 histone methylation on IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP2 gene promoters, while SETD1B inhibition decreased H3K4me3 enrichment and inflammatory gene expression in LPS-treated PDL cells. LPS also increased SETD1 nuclear localization in a p65-dependent fashion and the nuclear translocation of p65 as mediated through SETD1, suggestive of a synergistic effect between SETD1 and p65 in the modulation of inflammation. Confirming the role of SETD1 in p65-mediated periodontal inflammation, BOT-64 reduced the number of SETD1-positive cells in inflamed periodontal tissues, restored periodontal tissue integrity, and enhanced osteogenesis in a periodontal inflammation model in vivo. Together, these results have established the histone lysine methyltransferase SETD1 as a key factor in the opening of the chromatin on inflammatory gene promoters through histone H3K4 trimethylation. Our studies also confirmed the role of BOT-64 as a potent molecular therapeutic for the restoration of periodontal health through the inhibition of NF-κB activity and the amelioration of SETD1-induced chromatin relaxation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is central in reducing morbidity and mortality after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the fulfillment of guideline recommended CR targets is unsatisfactory. eHealth offers new possibilities to improve clinical care.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a mobile device application to support adherence to lifestyle advice and self-control of risk factors as a complement to traditional CR after MI.
Method
This unblinded multi-centre randomized controlled trial included 150 patients with MI (81% men, 60.4±8.8 years). All patients in the intervention (INT) and control (CON) groups participated in a 1-year CR program. Additionally, INT patients (n=101) received access to the mobile device application for 25 weeks post-MI where information about lifestyle (i.e., diet, physical activity, smoking), modifiable risk factors (i.e., weight, blood pressure (BP)), and symptoms could be registered. The software provided direct positive feedback and lifestyle advice. Data was reviewed twice weekly by the CR nurse. The primary outcome was change in sub-maximal exercise capacity (W) between an exercise test 2-weeks post MI and at follow-up 4 month later. Secondary outcomes included changes in lifestyle and modifiable risk factors including body mass index, waist circumference, blood-lipids, fasting glucose and HbA1c, between baseline and 2-week, 2-month and 1-year follow-up visits. Regression analysis was used, adjusting for relevant baseline variables.
Results
Participation in CR was high, with 96% of INT patients and 98% of the CON patients attending the 1-year follow-up visit. Forty-six percent of the INT patients and 57% of the CON patients attended centre-based exercise training (p=0.1). In the INT group 86% logged data in the application at least once. Adherence, defined as logging data at least twice per week, was 92% in week 1 and 57% in week 25. There was a numerical trend toward better exercise capacity improvement in the INT group (INT +14.4±19.0 vs. CON +10.3±16.1 W, p=0.2) although differences were non-significant. INT patients achieved larger BP reduction at 2-weeks (systolic) and 2-months (systolic and diastolic) (Figure). At 2-months 70% vs. 46% of smokers in the INT vs CON groups had quit smoking, and at 1-year the respective percentages were 57% vs. 36%. The number of smokers in the study was however low (n=33) and the differences non-significant. For other secondary endpoints no differences were observed.
Conclusion
Complementing CR with a mobile device application improved BP during the first months after MI, and non-significant trends towards better exercise capacity and higher smoking cessation rates were observed. Even though the differences were non-significant in our small study sample, they indicate that using eHealth in the form of a mobile device application could clinically benefit post-MI patients participating in CR.

Abstract
The packaging of DNA around nucleosomes exerts dynamic control over eukaryotic gene expression either by granting access to the transcriptional machinery in an open chromatin state or by silencing transcription via chromatin compaction. Histone methylation modification affects chromatin through the addition of methyl groups to lysine or arginine residues of histones H3 and H4 by means of histone methyl transferases or histone demethylases. Changes in histone methylation state modulate periodontal gene expression and have profound effects on periodontal development, health, and therapy. At the onset of periodontal development, progenitor cell populations such as dental follicle cells are characterized by an open H3K4me3 chromatin mark on RUNX2, MSX2, and DLX5 gene promoters. During further development, periodontal progenitor differentiation undergoes a global switch from the H3K4me3 active methyl mark to the H3K27me3 repressive mark. When compared with dental pulp cells, periodontal neural crest lineage differentiation is characterized by repressive H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 marks on typical dentinogenesis-related genes. Inflammatory conditions as they occur during periodontal disease result in unique histone methylation signatures in affected cell populations, including repressive H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 histone marks on extracellular matrix gene promoters and active H3K4me3 marks on interleukin, defensin, and chemokine gene promoters, facilitating a rapid inflammatory response to microbial pathogens. The inflammation-induced repression of chromatin on extracellular matrix gene promoters presents a therapeutic opportunity for the application of histone methylation inhibitors capable of inhibiting suppressive trimethylation marks. Furthermore, inhibition of chromatin coregulators through interference with key inflammatory mediators such as NF-kB by means of methyltransferase inhibitors provides another avenue to halt the exacerbation of the inflammatory response in periodontal tissues. In conclusion, histone methylation dynamics play an intricate role in the fine-tuning of chromatin states during periodontal development and harbor yet-to-be-realized potential for the treatment of periodontal disease.
