Introduction: In this article, we report data on confirmed CCHF cases from Iran and describe the association between studying factors and outcomes of the disease. Objective: Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is an acute and fatal disease with various clinical and paraclinical characteristics. Methods: In the Study design, we evaluated demographic characteristics, clinical, laboratory and sonographic findings of 160 CCHF confirmed cases during 2003 and 2012 in Zabol (A city in Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran). The association between these factors and the fatal outcome was evaluated by regression analysis. Results: The disease had a fatal outcome in 7 (4.4%) of patients. Females had more severe symptoms and higher odds for death (odds ratio11.57, p=0.005). Leukocytosis (p<0.001), PT (p<0.001) and PTT (p=0.008) elongation, AST (p=0.010) and ALT (p<0.001) elevation were significantly associated with fatal outcome. CNS related symptoms (odds ratio 5.9, p=0.027) in clinical examination and ascites (odds ratio 38.4, p=0.012) and liquid in the pelvic cavity (odds ratio 24.2, p=0.004) were also identified as risk factors of death in this study. Conclusions: Our data suggest that in addition to clinical and laboratory findings practitioners consider sonography for CCHF prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Urologic guidelines recommend perioperative instillation of chemotherapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) to decrease tumor recurrence, yet implementation of this recommendation is partial due to associated morbidity. Hypertonic saline destroys cells by osmotic dehydration and might present a safer alternative. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety of 3% hypertonic saline (Hypersal) intravesical instillation following TURBT in rats and in humans. METHODS: In 8 rats whose bladders were electrically injured, intravesical blue-dyed Hypersal was administered. We measured serum sodium levels before and after instillation and pathologically evaluated their pelvic cavity for signs of inflammation or blue discoloration. Twenty-four patients were recruited to the human trial (NIH-NCT04147182), 15 comprised the interventional and 10 the control group (one patient crossed over). Hypersal was given postoperatively. Serum sodium was measured before, 1 hour and 12–24 hours after instillation. Adverse effects were documented and compared between the groups. RESULTS: In rats, average sodium levels were 140.0 mEq/L and 140.3 mEq/L before and following instillation, respectively. Necropsy revealed no signs of inflammation or blue discoloration. In humans the average plasma sodium levels were 138.6 mEq∖L, 138.8 mEq∖L and 137.7 mEq∖L before, 1 hour and 12–24 hours after instillation, respectively. During the postoperative follow-up there was one case of fever. A month after the surgery, dysuria was reported by 5 patients while urgency and hematuria were reported by one patient each. The most severe adverse events were grade 2 on the Clavien-Dindo scale. Adverse events were similar in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Hypersal instillation is safe and tolerable immediately after TURBT.

Chronic Inflammatory Condition

AbstractEndometriosis is a common chronic inflammatory condition in which endometrial tissue appears outside the uterine cavity. Because ectopic endometriosis cells express both estrogen and progesterone (P4) receptors, they grow and undergo cyclic proliferation and breakdown similar to the endometrium. This debilitating gynecological disease affects up to 15% of reproductive aged women. Despite many years of research, the etiopathogenesis of endometrial lesions remains unclear. Retrograde transport of the viable menstrual endometrial cells with retained ability for attachment within the pelvic cavity, proliferation, differentiation and subsequent invasion into the surrounding tissue constitutes the rationale for widely accepted implantation theory. Accordingly, the most abundant cells in the endometrium are endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs). These cells constitute a particular population with clonogenic activity that resembles properties of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs). Thus, a significant role of stem cell-based dysfunction in formation of the initial endometrial lesions is suspected. There is increasing evidence that the role of epigenetic mechanisms and processes in endometriosis have been underestimated. The importance of excess estrogen exposure and P4 resistance in epigenetic homeostasis failure in the endometrial/endometriotic tissue are crucial. Epigenetic alterations regarding transcription factors of estrogen and P4 signaling pathways in MSCs are robust in endometriotic tissue. Thus, perspectives for the future may include MSCs and EnSCs as the targets of epigenetic therapies in the prevention and treatment of endometriosis. Here, we reviewed the current known changes in the epigenetic background of EnSCs and MSCs due to estrogen/P4 imbalances in the context of etiopathogenesis of endometriosis.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and aggressively malignant tumor mostly occurring in the abdominal and pelvic cavity of young patients. However, few cases had been reported concerning DSRCT occurring in the head and neck region. We presented a rare case of DSRCT of the right submandibular in a 25-year-old man. MRI revealed a 3 × 2-cm solid nodule located in the right submandibular, and physical examination showed no other occupying lesion elsewhere. Histologically, the tumor was composed of various-sized small round cell nests, embedded in an abundant desmoplastic stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were typically positive for epithelial (CK and EMA), mesenchymal (vimentin and desmin), and neuroendocrine (CD56, NSE, Syn, and CgA) markers, but negative for WT1. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed the presence of a break apart involving the <i>Ewing sarcoma</i> (<i>EWS</i>) gene. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy and relapsed after 19 months of follow-up. DSRCT of the submandibular gland is rare, and the diagnosis of this tumor in an uncommon location relies on the histomorphology, immunophenotype, and <i>EWS</i> gene translocation detection. Differential diagnosis including primary salivary gland tumors and the other small round cell tumors needs to be excluded.
