Thirty-six consecutive cases of adenocarcinoma in situ (ACIS) of the uterine cervix, including 8 cases of early stromal invasion to a depth not exceeding 5 mm, were revised with specific reference to detection rate and treatment. The final histologic diagnoses were based on 31 cone biopsies, 1 hysterectomy specimen, and 4 endocervical curettings/punch biopsies. ACIS was localized in the transformation zone of all cone biopsies/hysterectomy specimen, with a mostly superficial spread in the glands. The mucosal surface was involved in 34 cases. In 29 cone biopsies, ACIS was found unifocal. ACIS was associated with lesions of the squamous epithelium, mostly severe, in 25 cases. On review, all cervical smears were positive and ACIS could be specifically diagnosed in 24 cases. Pretreatment biopsies showed ACIS in 28 cases. Detection of early invasive adenocarcinoma required cone biopsy in most cases. Colposcopy showed no characteristics of ACIS. The detection of ACIS depended on the extension of the lesion. Conization with uninvolved margins was an adequate treatment. Residual ACIS was only found in cases with coexisting early invasive adenocarcinoma. No recurrences or frankly invasive adenocarcinomas have been observed during the observation period.

A joint-threshold Filippov model describing the effect of intermittent androgen-deprivation therapy in controlling prostate cancer.

Intermittent androgen-deprivation therapy (IADT) can be beneficial to delay the occurrence of treatment resistance and cancer relapse compared to the standard continuous therapy. To study the effect of IADT in controlling prostate cancer, we developed a Filippov prostate cancer model with a joint threshold function: therapy is implemented once the total population of androgen-dependent cells (AC-Ds) and androgen-independent cells (AC-Is) is greater than the threshold value ET, and it is suspended once the population is less than ET. As the parameters vary, our model undergoes a series of sliding bifurcations, including boundary node, focus, saddle, saddle-node and tangency bifurcations.

Background: The addition of dendritic cell vaccines (DCV) to NAC could induce immune responses in those patients with residual disease (RD) by transforming the tumor microenvironment.
Methods: Core diagnostic biopsies and surgical specimens from 80 patients (38 in the vaccinated group plus NAC (VG) and 42 in the control group (CG, treated only with NAC) were selected. We quantify TILs (CD8, CD4 and CD45RO) using immunohistochemistry and the automated cellular imaging system (ACIS III) in paired samples.

Department of Medicine, Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Background: In August 2017, Canadian Blood Services extended the shelf-life of platelet concentrates from 5 to 7 days. The clinical impacts of this policy change remain unclear.
Study Design And Methods: We used a before-after retrospective design of platelet-transfused adult inpatients in Hamilton, ON, Canada.

Purpose: The tumor immune microenvironment impacts the biological behavior of the tumor, but its effect on clinical outcomes in head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (HNcSCC) is largely unknown.
Experimental Design: We compared the immune milieu of high-risk HNcSCC that never progressed to metastasis with those that metastasized using multiparameter imaging mass cytometry. The cohort included both immunosuppressed patients (IS) and patients with an absence of clinical immune-suppression (ACIS).

Department of Neurology, People's Hospital of Liaoning Province, 33 Wenyi Road, Shenhe District, Shenyang, 110016, People's Republic of China.
Background And Purpose: To investigate the topography and etiologies of acute cerebellar infarcts (ACIs) that presented as isolated acute vestibular syndromes (AVSs).
Methods: ACI was ascertained on magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging combined with apparent diffusion coefficient sequence and was categorized into the simple (territory and small infarct) and the complicated (concomitant infarcts in territories of posterior circulation besides cerebellum). Infarct topography and etiologies were compared between ACI patients with isolated AVS and non-isolated AVS (general and/or local neurological symptoms and/or signs with or without AVS).
