The Impact

692 Background: It is now clear that there is a significant association between the magnitude of the systemic inflammatory response and postoperative complications (Adamina et al. Br J Surg 2015;102(6):590-8). The present study examined the impact of preoperative steroids on the postoperative systemic inflammatory response and complications, following elective surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods: The administration of dexamethasone at induction of anaesthesia was prospectively audited from a cohort of patients who underwent elective, potentially curative surgery for colorectal cancer at a single centre between 2008 and 2013. Results: 286 patients were included, of which the majority were male (161, 57%), over 65 (190, 66%) with colonic (183, 64%) and node negative disease (192, 67%). 114 (40%) received dexamethasone at induction of anaesthesia. There was a significant association (Table 1) between preoperative dexamethasone administration and the proportion of patients breaching established CRP thresholds on postoperative days 2 (190mg/L, 14% vs. 50%, p<0.001), and 3 (170mg/L, 27% vs. 49%, p<0.001) but not 4 (145mg/L, 50% vs. 36%, p=0.658). There was no significant association between preoperative dexamethasone and postoperative complications. Conclusions: The present study suggests that the systemic inflammatory response following surgery for colorectal cancer may be attenuated by preoperative steroids. It remains to be determined whether this will lead to a reduction in postoperative complications. [Table: see text]

The following is an account of some of the observations which were made by the author during an occupation of the British Association Table at the Zoological Station at Naples from October, 1891, to May, 1892. In their admirable “Recherches sur la Morphologie des Tuniciers,” (‘Archives de Biologie,’ vol. 6, 1887), Édouard van Beneden and Charles Julin came to a num ber of conclusions which, while they appeared to follow naturally from the facts observed, yet only added, if possible, to the perplexity surrounding any attempt to regard the Ascidians and Amphioxus from a common standpoint.

234 Background: Body mass index (BMI) has been reported to determine risk for pancreatic cancer in addition to outcome, as those with higher BMI have decreased survival. Since May 2011, therapy for pancreatic cancer has improved with the addition of FOLFIRINOX. This study looks at overall survival in relation to BMI since the advent of the FOLFIRINOX. Methods: 2,277 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were identified through the Mayo Clinic SPORE pancreatic cancer registry from 2000-14. Usual adult and BMI at time of enrollment were utilized as a binary variable ( < 30, ≥30 kg/m2). These were analyzed for association with survival using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: For the 2000-11 and 2011-14 groups, stage distribution was 4.4%, 34.7%, 21.6%, 39.2% and 1.2%, 39%, 22.2%, 37.6%, respectively for stage 1-4. Since pancreatic cancer commonly causes weight loss, more patients were in the higher usual adult BMI (34.6%) compared to enrollment (17.1%). For the period 2000-11, 33.8% of patients had a usual adult BMI of 30+ vs 37.8% for the 2011-14 patients. As previously reported, there was a difference in survival by BMI for the period 2000-May 2011, however, this was not seen for the period June 2011-14. Conclusions: Based on this cohort of patients, the previously reported detrimental effect of elevated BMI on survival in pancreatic cancer patients is no longer seen. This corresponds with the time period of improvement in pancreatic cancer treatment with FOLFIRINOX. Further studies should be performed to confirm our findings and to identify the causality of this association. [Table: see text]

By analyzing the association relationships between sand particle mechanics parameters and microscopic characteristics, this paper qualitative establishes the association table including physical and mechanical parameters such as the water content w, void ratio e and shear stress, and micro-parameters of sand particle such as particle number n, long axis L, short axis B, x, y coordinate of the centroid of particle, y-axis projection length, degree of eccentricity and orientation arrangement. Then the macro-micro relationship table of sand was established. The macro-micro relationship table of sand indicated that three micro-parameters of sand particle including particle number n, long axis L, short axis B have closely relationship with the water content w, void ratio e and shear stress. And the qualitative research between the sand particle mechanics and microscopic characteristics laid the foundation for the macro-micro association research.

Associated Species

This study examined the relationships between the distribution of herbaceous species and some of the major environmental factors in sloughs. Frequency distribution of species was studied in 64 stands. Environmental data, collected in 40 of these, included weekly readings of water level, fortnightly readings of pH and total dissolved solids in water, and texture and organic matter content of topsoil and subsoil. An association table of 24 leading dominants, arranged so that strongly associated species were close together, corresponded closely to their observed order along a moisture gradient. Environmental scalars were constructed to combine data on pH and total dissolved solids, as well as initial water depth and rate of water loss. The soil data showed very little association with species distribution. Synthetic scalars for water regime and for water chemistry were plotted against one another to obtain an arrangement of stands. Plotting the frequency distribution of the leading dominant species over the environmental arrangement of stands showed most of the species to be strongly affected by the water regime and somewhat less affected by salinity. A few were restricted to a very narrow range of one of these factors, while others flourished in all segments of the environment. The relationships suggested by this analysis are largely in agreement with those suggested by the vegetation analysis alone.

e22049 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become a mainstay of treatment for patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma. Currently, there are no reliable biomarkers to predict which patients will benefit from ICI therapy. K1505Ac immunohistochemistry (IHC) signal loss is equivalent to loss of functional PBRM1 protein, which has previously been shown to predict response to ICI therapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma. We hypothesized that loss of K1505Ac IHC expression in patients’ tumors may predict benefit to ICI therapy. Methods: An exploratory study was conducted in patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma (n = 25) who were treated with ICI therapy at Thomas Jefferson University. Retrospective chart review was performed to determine best clinical response using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Tumor samples from these patients were tested for loss of K1505Ac IHC signals to determine the correlation to best clinical response to ICI therapy. The pathologist was blinded to clinical responses during IHC analysis. Results: The chart below demonstrates the percentage of patients with K1505Ac IHC signal loss ≥ 40% and their correlating best clinical response to ICI therapy. Four of five patients (80%) with complete or partial response displayed K1505Ac IHC signal loss ≥ 40%. Fifteen of twenty patients (75%) with stable disease or progression of disease displayed K1505Ac IHC signal loss < 40%. Conclusions: Loss of K1505Ac IHC signal was associated with better clinical response to ICI therapy for patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma. These findings suggest that K1505Ac IHC signal loss may serve as a biomarker to help determine which patients will benefit from ICI therapy. A larger cohort of patients is currently under investigation to better evaluate this association. [Table: see text]
