Project description:BackgroundSarcopenia is associated with multiple adverse outcomes. Traditional methods to determine low muscle mass for the diagnosis of sarcopenia are mainly based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bioelectrical impedance analysis. These tests are not always available and are rather time consuming and expensive. However, many brain and head diseases require a head MRI. In this study, we aim to provide a more accessible way to detect sarcopenia by comparing the traditional method of DXA lean mass estimation versus the tongue and masseter muscle mass assessed in a standard brain MRI.MethodsThe H70 study is a longitudinal study of older people living in Gothenburg, Sweden. In this cross-sectional analysis, from 1203 participants aged 70 years at baseline, we included 495 with clinical data and MRI images available. We used the appendicular lean soft tissue index (ALSTI) in DXA images as our reference measure of lean mass. Images from the masseter and tongue were analysed and segmented using 3D Slicer. For the statistical analysis, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used, and concordance was estimated with the Kappa coefficient.ResultsThe final sample consisted of 495 participants, of which 52.3% were females. We found a significant correlation coefficient between both tongue (0.26) and masseter (0.33) with ALSTI (P < 0.001). The sarcopenia prevalence confirmed using the alternative muscle measure in MRI was calculated using the ALSTI (tongue = 2.0%, masseter = 2.2%, ALSTI = 2.4%). Concordance between sarcopenia with masseter and tongue versus sarcopenia with ALSTI as reference has a Kappa of 0.989 (P < 0.001) for masseter and a Kappa of 1 for the tongue muscle (P < 0.001). Comorbidities evaluated with the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale were significantly associated with all the muscle measurements: ALSTI (odds ratio [OR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.26, P < 0.001), masseter (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.07-1.26, P < 0.001) and tongue (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04-1.22, P = 0.002); the higher the comorbidities, the higher the probability of having abnormal muscle mass.ConclusionsALSTI was significantly correlated with tongue and masseter muscle mass. When performing the sarcopenia diagnostic algorithm, the prevalence of sarcopenia calculated with head muscles did not differ from sarcopenia calculated using DXA, and almost all participants were correctly classified using both methods.

Project description:Background/Introduction: Concurrent electroencephalography and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) have been widely used for studying the (presumably) awake and alert human brain with high temporal/spatial resolution. Although rsfMRI scans are typically collected while individuals are instructed to focus their eyes on a fixated cross, objective and verified experimental measures to quantify degree of vigilance are not readily available. Electroencephalography (EEG) is the modality extensively used for estimating vigilance, especially during eyes-closed resting state. However, pupil size measured using an eye-tracker device could provide an indirect index of vigilance. Methods: Three 12-min resting scans (eyes open, fixating on the cross) were collected from 10 healthy control participants. We simultaneously collected EEG, fMRI, physiological, and eye-tracker data and investigated the correlation between EEG features, pupil size, and heart rate. Furthermore, we used pupil size and EEG features as regressors to find their correlations with blood-oxygen-level-dependent fMRI measures. Results: EEG frontal and occipital beta power (FOBP) correlates with pupil size changes, an indirect index for locus coeruleus activity implicated in vigilance regulation (r = 0.306, p < 0.001). Moreover, FOBP also correlated with heart rate (r = 0.255, p < 0.001), as well as several brain regions in the anticorrelated network, including the bilateral insula and inferior parietal lobule. Discussion: In this study, we investigated whether simultaneous EEG-fMRI combined with eye-tracker measurements can be used to determine EEG signal feature associated with vigilance measures during eyes-open rsfMRI. Our results support the conclusion that FOBP is an objective measure of vigilance in healthy human subjects. Impact statement We revealed an association between electroencephalography frontal and occipital beta power (FOBP) and pupil size changes during an eyes-open resting state, which supports the conclusion that FOBP could serve as an objective measure of vigilance in healthy human subjects. The results were validated by using simultaneously recorded heart rate and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Interestingly, independently verified heart rate changes can also provide an easy-to-determine measure of vigilance during resting-state fMRI. These findings have important implications for an analysis and interpretation of dynamic resting-state fMRI connectivity studies in health and disease.

Project description:We investigated whether serial measurements of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and functional tumor volume (FTV) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be combined to improve prediction of pathologic complete response (pCR) and estimation of recurrence risk in early breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). We examined correlations between ctDNA and FTV, evaluated the additive value of ctDNA to FTV-based predictors of pCR using area under the curve (AUC) analysis, and analyzed the impact of FTV and ctDNA on distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) using Cox regressions. The levels of ctDNA (mean tumor molecules/mL plasma) were significantly correlated with FTV at all time points (p < 0.05). Median FTV in ctDNA-positive patients was significantly higher compared to those who were ctDNA-negative (p < 0.05). FTV and ctDNA trajectories in individual patients showed a general decrease during NAC. Exploratory analysis showed that adding ctDNA information early during treatment to FTV-based predictors resulted in numerical but not statistically significant improvements in performance for pCR prediction (e.g., AUC 0.59 vs. 0.69, p = 0.25). In contrast, ctDNA-positivity after NAC provided significant additive value to FTV in identifying patients with increased risk of metastatic recurrence and death (p = 0.004). In this pilot study, we demonstrate that ctDNA and FTV were correlated measures of tumor burden. Our preliminary findings based on a limited cohort suggest that ctDNA at surgery improves FTV as a predictor of metastatic recurrence and death. Validation in larger studies is warranted.

Project description:Despite maximally-safe resection of the MRI-defined contrast-enhanced (CE) central tumor area and chemo-radiotherapy, most glioblastoma patients relapse within one year in peritumor FLAIR regions. Spectroscopic MRI (MRSI) can discriminate metabolic tumor areas with higher recurrence potential as CNI+ regions (Choline/N-acetyl-aspartate Index>2) can predict relapse sites. As relapses are mainly imputed to glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSC), CNI+ areas might be GSC-enriched. We conducted a prospective trial in 16 GBM patients subjected to preoperative MRSI/MRI and surgery/chemo-radiotherapy to investigate GSC content in CNI+ versus CNI- biopsies from CE/FLAIR. Biopsy characterization by RNAseq revealed that FLAIR/CNI+ areas were enriched in stem-related gene signature, but also in pathways related to DNA repair, adhesion/migration and mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Project description:BackgroundIn the NAPOLI-1 phase 3 trial, liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) +5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) significantly increased mPFS versus 5-FU/LV (3.1 vs. 1.5 months [unstratified HR = 0.56, p = 0.0001]) in patients with mPAC that progressed on prior gemcitabine-based therapy. This randomized phase 2 trial evaluated nal-IRI+5-FU/LV tolerability (Part 1), safety, and efficacy (Part 2; outcomes reported here) in Japanese patients with mPAC that progressed on gemcitabine-based therapy.MethodsPatients were randomized 1:1 and stratified by KPS (70 and 80 vs. ≥90) and baseline albumin (≥4.0 g/dl vs. <4.0 g/dl). Primary endpoint was PFS; secondary endpoints were ORR, DCR, OS, TTF, CA19-9 response, and QoL. The ITT population comprised all randomized patients.ResultsPatient characteristics differed between nal-IRI+5-FU/LV (n = 40) and 5-FU/LV (n = 39) arms, including baseline hepatic lesions (63% vs. 51%), stage IV disease at diagnosis (78% vs. 51%), and post-study anticancer therapy (55% vs. 72%). Investigator-assessed mPFS increase with nal-IRI+5-FU/LV was clinically meaningful and statistically significant versus 5-FU/LV (2.7 vs. 1.5 months, HR = 0.60). Independently assessed mPFS showed similar trends (1.7 vs. 1.6 months, HR = 0.79). mOS was 6.3 months with nal-IRI+5-FU/LV and not reached with 5-FU/LV. ORR increased significantly with nal-IRI+5-FU/LV versus 5-FU/LV (18% vs. 0, rate difference 17.5). Commonly reported grade ≥3 treatment-emergent AEs were decreased neutrophil count (37% vs. 3%), decreased white blood cell count (20% vs. 0), and diarrhea (17% vs. 3%).ConclusionsIn conclusion, clinically meaningful and statistically significant gains in investigator-assessed PFS and ORR were observed with nal-IRI+5-FU/LV versus 5-FU/LV in Japanese patients, with no new or unexpected safety signals.

Project description:Background Prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is still extremely poor. First-line palliative therapies with FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel have been established in the last decade. In the second-line, 5-FU/LV in combination with nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) after gemcitabine has been shown to be effective. However, the use of nal-IRI as third-line therapy after FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine-based chemotherapies is still controversial. In this study, we report about the use of 5-FU/LV + nal-IRI in a daily practice and analyze whether nal-IRI is an option as third-line therapy after FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Methods This is a single center retrospective analysis of patients with irresectable pancreatic cancer who were treated with 5-FU/LV and nal-IRI from 2017 to 2021 as second- or third-line palliative treatment. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity were analyzed, and multivariate analysis was used to identify independent prognostic factors. Results Twenty-nine patients receiving 5-FU/LV and nal-IRI were included in the analysis. The majority of patients (n=19) received 5-FU/nal-IRI as third-line therapy after pre-exposition to FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Median OS and PFS were 9.33 months (95% CI: 3.37, 15.30) and 2.90 months (95% CI: 1.64, 4.16), respectively. Furthermore, patients receiving nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV as third-line treatment also showed some benefits, with no OS difference compared to second-line patients (9.33 vs. 10.27 months; HR: 1.85; 95% CI: 0.64, 5.41; P=0.253). Adverse effects were similar to reported trials. Conclusions In our study, the use of 5-FU/nal-IRI in unselected patients with advanced pancreatic cancer showed similar OS, PFS and tolerance as randomized prospective phase II/III trials. Interestingly, the use of 5-FU/nal-IRI seemed to be beneficial in third-line therapy, despite a pre-exposure to non-liposomal irinotecan.

Project description:Better models to identify individuals at low risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) are needed for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) candidates to mitigate the risk of ICD-related complications. We designed the CERTAINTY study (CinE caRdiac magneTic resonAnce to predIct veNTricular arrhYthmia) with deep learning for VA risk prediction from cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Using a training cohort of primary prevention ICD recipients (n = 350, 97 women, median age 59 years, 178 ischemic cardiomyopathy) who underwent CMR immediately prior to ICD implantation, we developed two neural networks: Cine Fingerprint Extractor and Risk Predictor. The former extracts cardiac structure and function features from cine CMR in a form of cine fingerprint in a fully unsupervised fashion, and the latter takes in the cine fingerprint and outputs disease outcomes as a cine risk score. Patients with VA (n = 96) had a significantly higher cine risk score than those without VA. Multivariate analysis showed that the cine risk score was significantly associated with VA after adjusting for clinical characteristics, cardiac structure and function including CMR-derived scar extent. These findings indicate that non-contrast, cine CMR inherently contains features to improve VA risk prediction in primary prevention ICD candidates. We solicit participation from multiple centers for external validation.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies. TGF-? is strongly expressed in both the epithelial and stromal compartments of PDAC, and dysregulation of TGF-? signalling is a frequent molecular disturbance in PDAC progression and metastasis. In this study, we investigated whether blockade of TGF-? signalling synergizes with nal-IRI/5-FU/LV, a chemotherapy regimen for malignant pancreatic cancer, in an orthotopic pancreatic tumour mouse model. Compared to nal-IRI/5-FU/LV treatment, combining nal-IRI/5-FU/LV with vactosertib, a TGF-? signalling inhibitor, significantly improved long-term survival rates and effectively suppressed invasion to surrounding tissues. Through RNA-sequencing analysis, we identified that the combination treatment results in robust abrogation of tumour-promoting gene signatures and positive enrichment of tumour-suppressing and apoptotic gene signatures. Particularly, the expression of tumour-suppressing gene Ccdc80 was induced by vactosertib and further induced by vactosertib in combination with nal-IRI/5-FU/LV. Ectopic expression of CCDC80 suppressed migration and colony formation concomitant with decreased expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in pancreatic cancer cells. Collectively, these results indicate that combination treatment of vactosertib with nal-IRI/5-FU/LV improves overall survival rates in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer by suppressing invasion through CCDC80. Therefore, combination therapy of nal-IRI/5-FU/LV with vactosertib could provide clinical benefits to pancreatic cancer patients.
