The bone marrow microenvironment represents a "metastatic niche" in which prostate cancer cells may persist and evade cytotoxic therapy. In order to study the biology of prostate cancer dissemination, we have established a safe and efficient method for performing pubic bone marrow aspiration at the time of radical prostatectomy. We herein describe our experience with this technique. ...[more]

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament is the most commonly injured ligament, with up to 10% of surgery failure. Atraumatic instability in the early postoperative period (<6 months) occurs as the result of poor surgical technique, failure of graft integration, or early mechanical overload during rehabilitation. Engineered cell therapy is a developing resource designed to increase the rate of tendon-to-bone interface healing. We describe a simple and safe technique to harvest mesenchymal stem cells by arthroscopic bone marrow aspiration from the intercondylar notch.

Project description:Point-of-care kits to concentrate bone marrow (BM)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used clinically in horses. A maximal number of MSCs per milliliter of marrow aspirated might be desired prior to use of a point-of-care system to concentrate MSCs. Our objective was to test a method to increase the number of MSCs per milliliter of marrow collected. We collected two BM aspirates using two different collection techniques from 12 horses. The first collection technique was to aspirate BM from a single site without advancement of the biopsy needle. The second collection technique was to aspirate marrow from multiple sites within the same sternal puncture by advancing the needle 5?mm three times for BM aspiration from four sites. Numbers of MSCs in collected BM were assessed by total nucleated cell count of BM after aspiration, total colony-forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay, and total MSC number at each culture passage. The BM aspiration technique of four needle advancements during BM aspiration resulted in higher initial nucleated cell counts, more CFU-Fs, and more MSCs at the first passage. There were no differences in the number of MSCs at later passages. Multiple advancements of the BM needle during BM aspiration resulted in increased MSC concentration at the time of BM collection. If a point-of-care kit is used to concentrate MSCs, multiple advancements may result in higher MSC numbers in the BM concentrate after preparation by the point-of-care kit. For culture expanded MSCs beyond the first cell passage, the difference is of questionable clinical relevance.

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) serves as a reservoir for a unique population of memory T cells with strong effector properties that make them ideal targets for cancer immunotherapy strategies. However, direct vaccination and priming of T cells within the BM of the host has never been investigated. This study evaluates the specific immune response induced via a new method of direct intra-bone marrow (IBM) vaccination in an animal model of human papillomavirus-associated cancer. We found that IBM vaccinations with the class I HPV-16 E7 epitope induce large numbers of activated, IFN-γ-producing E7-specific lymphocytes in the BM. In prophylactic tumor challenge experiments, direct intra-BM vaccination was found to be protective against tumor formation for 80% of the mice. In the therapeutic setting, IBM vaccination induced tumor regression in 3 of 10 vaccinated mice and delayed tumor growth in the remaining animals. Finally, adoptive transfer of BM cells from IBM vaccinated mice to naïve animals conferred complete protection against tumor growth. These data demonstrate the capacity of direct IBM vaccination to induce potent antigen-specific immunity resulting in protection from tumor growth in an animal model. Specifically targeting BM T cells with vaccines may improve responses to cancer immunotherapy and offer important clinical advantages, especially in the setting of bone marrow malignancies.

Project description:Although bone marrow aspiration (BMA) is still considered a painful procedure, pain level remains poorly documented. We therefore conducted a prospective study intended to evaluate pain level in adult patients undergoing BMA at the sternal or iliac crest site to identify factors associated with pain. We enrolled a total of 448 patients who underwent 461 BMA and asked those patients to score their pain intensity after BMA using numerical pain rating scale (NPRS). The following factors: level of anxiety, quality of the information given to the patient, operator's experience, and bone texture were recorded using a standardized questionnaire. The median NPRS score was 3.5 (IQR [2.0; 5.0]) the sternal site (n = 405) was associated with an increased median NPRS score (3.5 [2.0; 5.0]) compared to the iliac crest (n = 56, 2.5 [1.0; 4.0]; p<0.0001). For those patients who underwent sternal BMA, the median NPRS score was significantly lower when using lidocaine infiltration (p = 0.0159) as compared with no anesthetic use. Additionally there was no significant effect of anesthetic cream found. After multivariate analysis, the model of NPRS score at the sternal site included patient anxiety (p<0.0001) and the use of lidocaine infiltration (0.0378). This study underlines the usefulness of a comprehensive management including pain relief and efforts to reduce anxiety including appropriate information given to the patient during BMA.

Project description:PurposeWe aimed to report the morbidity profile of salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP) after radiotherapy failure and assess the impact of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) on postoperative complications and functional outcomes.Materials and methodsBetween 1985 and 2019, a total of 293 patients underwent SRP; 232 underwent open SRP; and 61 underwent laparoscopic SRP with or without robotic assistance. Complications were recorded and classified into standardized categories per the Clavien-Dindo classification.ResultsTwenty-nine patients (10%) experienced grade 3 complications within 30 days, 22 (9.5%) after open and 7 (11%) after MIS (p = 0.6). Between 30 and 90 days after surgery, 7.3% of patients in the open group and 10% in the MIS group had grade 3 complications (p = 0.5). The most common complication was bladder neck contracture (BNC), representing 40% of the 30-90 day complications. Within one year of SRP, 81 patients (31%, 95% CI 25%, 37%) developed BNC; we saw non-significant lower rates in MIS (25 vs 32%; p = 0.4). Functional outcomes were poor after SRP and showed no difference between open and MIS groups for urinary continence (16 vs 18%, p = 0.7) and erectile function (7 vs 13%, p = 0.4). 5 year cancer-specific survival and overall survival was 95% and 88% for the entire cohort, respectively.ConclusionsOur outcomes suggest poor functional recovery after SRP, regardless of the operative approach. Currently there is no evidence favoring the use of open or MIS approach. Further studies are required to ensure comparable outcomes between these approaches.

Project description:BackgroundIntra-articular bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and aspirate (BMA) injections have been used with mixed results to treat osteoarthritis (OA). Given the various aspiration and concentration methods available for preparing bone marrow, more data are needed to identify the optimal bone marrow harvesting techniques to treat OA.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study examined the effect of using low-volume BMAs harvested using the Marrow Cellution™ (MC) device on 160 patients (262 knees) suffering from pain due to knee OA, KL grades 2-4, that did not respond to conservative treatment. Changes in visual analog scores (VAS) for overall daily activity were examined over a six-month time frame in these patients (63.5 ± 0.97 years of age; 48.1% male). In addition, changes in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC scores) were examined over the same time frame in a smaller subset of patients (95 patients including 172 knees).ResultsThere was a statistically significant improvement in VAS scores for overall daily activity 6 months postprocedure in the study population, 7.29 ± 0.27 vs. 3.76 ± 0.34 (p < 0.0001), as well as statistically significant improvements in WOMAC scores, 49.3 ± 4.27 vs. 66.3 ± 4.08 (p < 0.0001). On the individual level, 71% of the cases displayed VAS improvements and 61% of the cases displayed WOMAC improvements that exceeded levels previous studies determined to be the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for knee OA treatments. The improvements in WOMAC scores were also seen in both the WOMAC pain subscore, 52.2 ± 4.39 vs. 72.2 ± 4.36 (p < 0.0001) and the WOMAC function subscore, 51.6 ± 4.67 vs. 69.0 ± 4.36 (p < 0.0001). In addition, the PGIC scores measuring patient satisfaction improved from 4.03 ± 0.26 at 6 weeks postprocedure to 4.65 ± 0.28 at 6 months postprocedure (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsKnee OA patients treated with MC BMA intra-articular injections exhibited significant reductions in VAS pain scores and significant improvements in WOMAC scores that exceeded the minimal clinically important difference thresholds. In addition, reductions in VAS pain scores and improvements in WOMAC scores correlated with higher PGIC scores.

Project description:PurposeProstate circulating tumor cells escape into peripheral blood and enter bone marrow as disseminated tumor cells, representing an early step before conventionally detectable metastasis. It is unclear how frequently this occurs in localized disease and existing detection methods rely on epithelial markers with low specificity and sensitivity. We used multiple methodologies of disseminated tumor cell detection in bone marrow harvested at radical prostatectomy.Materials and methodsBone marrow was harvested from 208 clinically localized cases, 16 controls and 5 metastatic cases with peripheral blood obtained from 37 metastatic cases. Samples were evaluated at 4 centers with 4 distinct platforms using antibody enrichment with the AdnaTest (Qiagen®) or VERSA (versatile exclusion based rare sample analysis), or whole sample interrogation with the RareCyte platform (Seattle, Washington) or HD-SCA (high definition single cell assay) using traditional epithelial markers and prostate specific markers. We investigated the sensitivity and specificity of these markers by evaluating expression levels in control and metastatic cases.ResultsEpCAM, NKX3.1 and AR were nonspecifically expressed in controls and in most samples using AdnaTest with no relation to perioperative variables. Only 1 patient with localized disease showed positive results for the prostate specific marker PSA. With the VERSA platform no localized case demonstrated disseminated tumor cells. With the RareCyte and HD-SCA platforms only a single patient had 1 disseminated tumor cell.ConclusionsEvaluation across multiple platforms revealed that epithelial markers are nonspecific in bone marrow and, thus, not suitable for disseminated tumor cell detection. Using prostate specific markers disseminated tumor cells were typically not detected in patients with localized prostate cancer.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of the work was to assess the contribution to diagnosis and/or treatment (CDT) of bone marrow aspiration (BMA) in the critically ill patient.MethodsThe retrospective study included 193 patients. On the basis of BMA findings, contribution to diagnosis was defined by one of four previously unestablished diagnoses (maturation arrest of granulocyte precursors, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, hematological malignancy, marrow infiltration with cancer cells) and to treatment as the initiation or withdrawal of a specific treatment including the decision to forgo life-sustaining treatment (DFLST).ResultsA CDT of BMA was observed in 40/193 patients (20.7%). BMA contributed to diagnosis in 37 cases (granulocyte precursor maturation arrest, N?=?10; hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, N?=?12; hematological malignancy, N?=?15) and to treatment in 14, including three DFLSTs. In multivariate analysis, the factors associated with a CDT were hematological malignancy, cancer or non-malignant hematological abnormality known on admission, indication for BMA excluding isolated thrombocytopenia, higher pre-BMA HScore (calculated prior to BMA), and higher SOFA score with or without platelet-count SOFA subscore. In the 160 patients without hematological malignancy or cancer known on admission, non-malignant hematological abnormality known on admission, indication for BMA excluding isolated thrombocytopenia, higher pre-BMA HScore, and higher SOFA score calculated with or without platelet-count SOFA subscore were independently associated with a CDT of BMA.ConclusionBMA can have a significant CDT in ICU patients with or without a known hematological malignancy or cancer on admission. An HScore calculated before BMA can be a valuable tool for predicting a CDT of BMA.

Project description:Purpose:The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pathological and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed by one surgeon at a single center. Subjects:We evaluated 700 patients with localized prostate cancer (i.e., 250 received LRP and 450 received RARP) in the study. The clinicopathological outcomes, positive surgical margin (PSM) frequency, and biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival were compared between LRP and RARP. Results:At diagnosis, the median patient age and level of prostate-specific antigsen in the serum for LRP were 68 years and 8.1 ng/ml, respectively, while those for RARP were 66 years and 7.7 ng/ml, respectively. In the LRP group, the overall PSM rate was 31.2% (11.1% for pT2a, 19.0% for pT2b, 25.0% for pT2c, 60.0% for pT3a, 64.3% for pT3b, and 50% for pT4). In the RARP group, the overall PSM rate was 20.7% (4.8% for pT2a, 15.9% for pT2b, 12.9% for pT2c, 36.9% for pT3a, 46.2% for pT3b, and 100% for pT4). The PSM rate was significantly lower for RARP in men with pT2c, pT3a, or pT3b disease (p = 0.006, p = 0.009, and p = 0.027, respectively). Based on the multivariate analysis, RARP reduced the risk of BCR (hazard ratio = 0.8, p = 0.014). Conclusions:We compared the pathological findings and rates of BCR-free survival between patients who received LRP and those who received RARP at a single center. The rate of BCR-free survival was significantly higher in men classified as D'Amico high-risk patients who received RARP versus that reported in D'Amico high-risk patients who received LRP.
