Phenacetin Acts As a Weak Genotoxic Compound Preferentially in the Kidney of DNA Repair Deficient Xpa Mice
Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis Volume 596, Issues 1-2 , 11 April 2006, Pages 143-150 doi:10.1016/j.mrfmmm.2005.12.011 Copyright © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Speksnijdera, Niels van Alphena, Anja W estermana, Siem H. Heisterkampb, Jan van Benthema, Coen F. van Kreijla, Rudolf B. Beemsa and Harry van Steega aLaboratory of Toxicology, Pathology and Genetics, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), P.O. Box 1, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands bCentre for Information Technology and Methodology, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), P.O. Box 1, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands Abstract Chronic use of phenacetin-containing analgesics has been associated with the development of renal cancer. To establish genotoxicity as a possible cause for the carcinogenic effect of phenacetin, we exposed wild type and DNA repair deficient XpaÞ/Þ and XpaÞ/Þ/Trp53+/Þ mice (further referred as Xpa and Xpa/p53 mice, respectively), carrying a reporter lacZ gene, to 0.75% (w/w) phenacetin mixed in feed. Xpa mice completely lack the nucleotide excision repair pathway, and as such they are sensitive to some classes of genotoxic compounds. Phenacetin exposure induced a significant increase of lacZ mutations in the kidney of both Xpa and Xpa/p53 mice. A minor response was found in liver, whereas no lacZ mutation induction was observed in the spleen of these animals. Interestingly, the observed phenacetin-induced mutant frequencies were higher in male than those found in female mice. -

This retrospective study included, 73 cases of adrenal medullary tumors (39 pheochromocytoma, 13 neuroblastoma, 12 ganglioneuroblastoma and 9 ganglioneuroma) admitted to Mansoura Urology and Nephrology Center, Egypt.. All tumors were studied histologically and immunohistochemically. In pheochromocytomas, 33 patients became normal after 24 hours, the other 6 died from distant metastases. 6 patients with neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma were still living after adrenalectomy, while the other 19 patients received chemotherapy and were non-living after 24 months. Nine patients with ganglioneuroma were still living after adrenalectomy. All prepared slides were stained with periodic-acid Schiff’ reaction (PAS) and reticulin stains. Hyaline globules which were (PAS) positive were pheochromocytomas, while, they were not detected in neuroblastoma groups. All tumors were positive for reticulin stain. All cases of adrenal medulalry tumors were examined immunohistochemically using antibodies against chromogranin A, S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase . Chromogranin A was expressed in all cases (39/39) pheochromocytoma, 5/13 neuroblastoma, 7/12 ganglioneuroblastoma and 7/9 ganglioneuroma. S-100 protein was expressed in 32/39 pheochromocytoma, 9/13 neuroblastomas, and all cases of ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma. -

Material and Methods: Statistical incidence of ovarian tumors from 2001 to 2004 was taken. Specimens were processed routinely and sections, from representative sites, stained with hematoxylin and eosin were studied. Special stains like PAS, Vangieson, Reticulin and Alcian blue were done in special cases. Results: A total number of 150 ovarian tumors received from 2001 to 2004 have been studied. Of them 88 are benign tumors, 3 are borderline tumors & 59 are malignant tumors. Out of 150 ovarian tumors 122 were surface epithelial tumors, 9 were sex cord stromal tumors, 16 were germ cell tumors and 3 were metastatic tumors. Discussion: Ovary is the third most common site of primary malignancy in female genital tract and accounts for 6% of all cancers in females. -
Renal Pyelocalyceal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Patient with An
Güler et al. Journal of Medical Case Reports (2019) 13:154 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13256-019-2090-z CASEREPORT Open Access Renal pyelocalyceal squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with an ectopic kidney presenting with chronic pyelonephritis: a case report Yavuz Güler1*, Burak Üçpınar2 and Akif Erbin2 Abstract Background: Until now, few cases of pelvis squamous cell carcinoma in various renal anomalies have been reported. To our knowledge, primary squamous cell carcinoma arising from a pelvic ectopic kidney has never been described. In this report, we describe a case of renal pyelocalyceal squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with an ectopic kidney presenting with chronic pyelonephritis. Case summary: A 73-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our hospital with pyelonephritis symptoms. Abdominopelvic computed tomography revealed heterogeneous and irregular minimal contrast enhancement in the pelvic ectopic kidney parenchyma. Radiologists reported that the images were consistent with chronic pyelonephritis. A Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan demonstrated a nonfunctioning right pelvic ectopic kidney. The patient underwent open simple nephrectomy via modified Gibson incision. The whole mass was a distended, saclike structure without any grossly visible renal tissue. Pathological examination showed renal pelvis squamous cell carcinoma 8 cm in diameter infiltrating into the renal capsule and perinephritic fatty tissue. The patient was staged as T4N0M1 renal pelvis squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was being treated in the intensive care unit for respiratory distress on the seventh day after the operation. By the first-month follow-up visit, the patient had died of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusions: Although rare, renal pelvis squamous cell carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a renal mass in patients who have renal anomalies and chronic pyelonephritis. -

However, it is difficult to distinguish schwannoma from other tumors before pathological examination because they do not show specific characteristics on imaging study such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic reso- nance image (MRI). Case summary: A 60-year-old male showed a retroperitoneal cystic tumor which is found incidentally during evaluation of coexisted bladder tumor. Neurogenic tumor was suspicious for the retroperitoneal tumor through pre-operative imaging study. Finally, a schwannoma was diagnosed by immunohistochemical examination after complete surgical excision laparoscopically. Conclusion: As imaging technology is developed, there may be more chances to differentiate schwan- Citation: Choi, J.-H.; Yoo, K.-H.; Lee, noma from other neoplasm. However, still surgical resection and histopathological examination is D.-G.; Min, G.-E.; Kim, G.-Y.; Choi, feasible for diagnosis of schwannoma. -
SNOMED CT Codes for Gynaecological Neoplasms
SNOMED CT codes for gynaecological neoplasms Authors: Brian Rous1 and Naveena Singh2 1Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and 2Barts Health NHS Trusts Background (summarised from NHS Digital): • SNOMED CT is a structured clinical vocabulary for use in an electronic health record. It forms an integral part of the electronic care record, and serves to represent care information in a clear, consistent, and comprehensive manner. • The move to a single terminology, SNOMED CT, for the direct management of care of an individual, across all care settings in England, is recommended by the National Information Board (NIB), in “Personalised Health and Care 2020: A Framework for Action”. • SNOMED CT is owned, managed and licensed by SNOMED International. NHS Digital is the UK Member's National Release Centre for the creation of, and delegated authority to licence the SNOMED CT Edition and derivatives. • The benefits of using SNOMED CT in electronic care records are that it: • enables sharing of vital information consistently within and across health and care settings • allows comprehensive coverage and greater depth of details and content for all clinical specialities and professionals • includes diagnosis and procedures, symptoms, family history, allergies, assessment tools, observations, devices • supports clinical decision making • facilitates analysis to support clinical audit and research • reduces risk of misinterpretations of the record in different care settings • Implementation plans for England: • SNOMED CT must be implemented across primary care and deployed to GP practices in a phased approach from April 2018. • Secondary care, acute care, mental health, community systems, dentistry and other systems used in direct patient care must use SNOMED CT as the clinical terminology, before 1 April 2020.
