In the last decade fine needle aspiraration biopsy has gained recognition as a valuable diagnostic technique, and its benefits have been demonstrated in large series of patients with almost every type of tumor (1,2). The usual way to collect cellular material from needle-aspiration biopsies is to discharge the needle and syringe contents onto a microscopic slide and smear the material with another slide. The entire specimen is contained on the slides prepared at the time of biopsy. Serious technical difficulties are inherent to this method. 1) Inconsistent fixation, 2) drying artifact, 3) loss of tissue fragments, 4) inability to confirm impressions by a “second method”, and 5) retention of significant diagnostic material in the needle hub. Our technique avoids these difficulties.

2017 has been a very productive and interesting year for our journal Light & Engineering/Svetotekhnika. It was marked by the publication of a large series of analytical reviews on the current state and prospects for the development of a number of important areas of lighting engineering (a total of 12 reviews), the publication of the regional volume of the Light & Engineering Journal (No. 3) devoted to solar energy technology in China (250 pages, 33 articles), further expansion of publications by international authors in Light & Engineering (since 2010, 120 articles by 230 authors from 23 countries have been published).

ABSTRACT Serum PBI and thyroxine iodine (T4I) levels have been compared in a large series of patients. A mean difference of 0.35 μg/100 ml was found in euthyroid subjects, but a much greater difference obtained when both values were high, whether the elevation resulted from hyperthyroidism, pregnancy or the administration of thyroxine or oestrogen. This discrepancy was greater in a group of patients with diffuse goitre than in those with nodular glands. A circulating non-thyroxine iodinated compound is thought to account for this discrepancy, the origins of which could lie in the thyroid gland, although peripheral deiodination of thyroxine seems more likely.

Background & Aims: Diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs) is frequently challenging. We describe a large series of patients with p-NETs in whom both pre-operative Computed Tomography (CT) and Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) were performed. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected sporadic p-NET cases. All patients underwent both standard multidetector CT study and EUS with fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The final histological diagnosis was achieved on a post-surgical specimen. Chromogranin A (CgA) levels were measured. Results: A total of 80 patients (mean age: 58 ± 14.2 years; males: 42) were enrolled. The diameter of functioning was significantly lower than that of non-functioning p-NETs (11.2 ± 8.5 mm vs 19.8 ± 12.2 mm; P = 0.0004). The CgA levels were more frequently elevated in non-functioning than functioning pNET patients (71.4% vs 46.9%; P = 0.049). Overall, the CT study detected the lesion in 51 (63.7%) cases, being negative in 26 (68.4%) patients with a tumor ≤10 mm, and in a further 3 (15%) cases with a tumor diameter ≤20 mm. CT overlooked the pancreatic lesion more frequently in patients with functioning than non-functioning p-NETs (46.5% vs 24.3%; P = 0.002). EUS allowed a more precise pre-operative tumor measurement, with an overall incorrect dimension in only 9 (11.2%) patients. Of note, the EUS-guided FNA suspected the neuroendocrine nature of tumor in all cases. Conclusions: Data of this large case series would suggest that the EUS should be included in the diagnostic work-up in all patients with a suspected p-NET, even when the CT study was negative for a primary lesion in the pancreas.– . Abbrevations: CgA: chromogranin A; EUS: Endoscopic Ultrasonography; FNA: fine-needle aspiration; p-NETs: pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
