  • Qnas with Max D. Cooper and Jacques F. A. P. Miller
    QNAS QnAswithMaxD.CooperandJacquesF.A.P.Miller QNAS Brian Doctrow, Science Writer Anyone who has ever contracted chicken pox can thank the adaptive immune system for future pro- tection against the disease. It is also thanks to this system that vaccines prevent diseases. The adaptive immune system provides organisms with a memory of past infections, enabling the body to quickly kill returning infections before they can do significant damage. Immunologists Jacques F. A. P. Miller and Max D. Cooper determined that adaptive immunity requires 2 distinct cell types that perform comple- mentary functions. Miller’s findings, published in the early 1960s in Lancet (1) and Proceedings of the Royal Society (2), showed that the ability to distinguish one’s own cells from foreign cells, a key feature of the adap- tive immune system, depends on lymphocytes, now known as T cells, matured in an organ called the thy- mus. Subsequently, Cooper reported in Nature (3) that Max Dale Cooper.

  • The Size of Lymph Nodes in the Neck on Sonograms As a Radiologic Criterion for Metastasis: How Reliable Is It?
    AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 19:695–700, April 1998 The Size of Lymph Nodes in the Neck on Sonograms as a Radiologic Criterion for Metastasis: How Reliable Is It? Michiel W. M. van den Brekel, Jonas A. Castelijns, and Gordon B. Snow PURPOSE: A definition of cut-off points for nodal size is essential to determine whether cervical lymph nodes are metastatic or not. Because the currently used size criteria are defined for random populations of patients with head and neck cancer, we set out to study whether these criteria are optimal for patients without palpable metastases in different levels of the neck. We defined optimal size criteria for sonography by calculating the sensitivity and specificity of different size cut-off points. METHODS: We compared the sensitivity and specificity of different size cut-off points as measured on sonograms for various levels in the neck in a series of 117 patients with and 131 patients without palpable neck metastases. RESULTS: A minimum axial diameter of 7 mm for level II and 6 mm for the rest of the neck revealed the optimal compromise between sensitivity and specificity in necks without palpable metastases. For all necks together (with and without palpable metastases), the criteria were 1 to 2 mm larger. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that the current sonographic size criteria used for random patient populations are not optimal for necks without palpable metastases, nor can the same cut-off points be used for all levels in the neck. The management of lymph node metastases in the cious lymph nodes may convert both selective neck neck in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the treatment and a wait-and-see policy to more secure upper air and food passages is a continuing source of comprehensive treatment of all levels of the neck (6).

Lo1,5*& Kazuhide Hayakawa1,5* After stroke, peripheral immune cells are activated and these systemic responses may amplify brain damage, but how the injured brain sends out signals to trigger systemic inflammation remains unclear. Here we show that a brain-to-cervical lymph node (CLN) 1234567890():,; pathway is involved. In rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia, lymphatic endothelial cells proliferate and macrophages are rapidly activated in CLNs within 24 h, in part via VEGF-C/ VEGFR3 signalling. Microarray analyses of isolated lymphatic endothelium from CLNs of ischemic mice confirm the activation of transmembrane tyrosine kinase pathways. Blockade of VEGFR3 reduces lymphatic endothelial activation, decreases pro-inflammatory macro- phages, and reduces brain infarction. In vitro, VEGF-C/VEGFR3 signalling in lymphatic endothelial cells enhances inflammatory responses in co-cultured macrophages. Lastly, surgical removal of CLNs in mice significantly reduces infarction after focal cerebral ischemia. These findings suggest that modulating the brain-to-CLN pathway may offer therapeutic opportunities to ameliorate systemic inflammation and brain injury after stroke. 1 Neuroprotection Research Laboratory, Departments of Radiology and Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA, USA. 2 China-America Institute of Neuroscience, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. 3 Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Fukuoka University Hospital, Jonan, Fukuoka, Japan.

Changes in the esophageal microbiome have been associated with cancer pathogenesis; however, the molecular mechanism remains obscure. This review article critically analyzes the molecular mechanisms through which microbiota may mediate the development and progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma and its precursors-gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett’s esophagus. It summarizes changes in esophageal microbiome composition in normal and pathologic states and subsequently discusses the role of altered microbiota in disease progression. The potential role of esophageal microbiota in protecting against the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma is also discussed. By doing so, this article highlights specific directions for future research developing microbiome-mediated therapeutics for esophageal adenocarcinoma.
