Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (SBNETs) are neoplasms arising from the neuroendocrine cells of the small intestine. SBNETs are the most common tumours of the small bowel. Their often unspecific symptoms mean that many patients present late with metastatic disease, most commonly to local lymph nodes, small bowel mesentery, and the liver. Although Somatostatin Analogues (SSAs) can relieve symptoms and slow disease progression, surgical resection remains the only curative option. In this case report, a patient undergoes surgical resection of her primary SBNET and several liver metastases. During the operation it becomes apparent that much of the metastatic liver spread is unresectable, and the aim of the surgery becomes tumour de-bulking. This report reveals the limitations of current SBNET imaging, biomarkers and surgical techniques, and explores recent advances.

Breast cancer accounts for the majority of cancers in women worldwide, and the most common cancer overall in the UK. It is typically treated by a combination of surgical and medical therapies, which commonly include neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in favour of adjuvant chemotherapy alongside surgery in the treatment of breast cancer confers no overall and disease-free survival advantage. Nonetheless, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is commonly favoured as a first line therapy for breast cancer. The case reported illustrates the potential for fertility considerations to delay treatment where neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the first line treatment for an operable, non-metastatic breast cancer. Here, the time taken for the patient to reach a decision on fertility preservation resulted in significant delays to treatment which, had surgery been chosen as the first line treatment, would have been prevented. This report discusses the evidence for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in favour of adjuvant chemotherapy alongside surgery in breast cancer treatment, and concludes that due to the comparable overall and disease-free survival rate, as well as the continuing upward trend in the average age of primigravida in the UK, fertility considerations present a strong argument in favour of surgery as first line therapy for non-metastatic, operable breast cancer, in favour of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Approaches to understand the immune response during COVID-19 are largelyconfined to characterisation of circulating leukocytes, however this approach excludes the mostrelevant cells that are active at the site of infection and injury. The aim of this study was to characterise the immune landscape across the lungs of COVID-19patients. Lung samples from three critical COVID-19 patients were assessed for histopathology,viral load, and distribution using qPCR, in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry.Leukocyte distribution was then assessed, and the transcript profile of selected areas examinedagainst the >1800 genes in the Cancer Transcriptome Atlas panel on the NanoString GeoMxDigital Spatial Profiling platform. Lung samples exhibited a spectrum of typical COVID-19 pathology with diffuse alveolar damageconsistent with hyaline membrane and type II pneumocyte hyperplasia, interstitialinflammation, organising pneumonia and thrombi. All tissues tested positive for SARS-CoV-2RNA using qPCR, whilst spatially resolved techniques revealed only few and sparsely distributedcells carrying the viral nucleocapsid protein. Multiplexed immunofluorescence for lymphocytes(CD3+) and macrophages (CD68+) was used to select areas of immune enrichment for spatialtranscriptomic profiling. These targeted analyses highlighted functional pathways involved inthe interferon gamma response, TCR activation and antigen presentation.

Our data identify pathological immune pathways thatare amenable to therapeutic intervention in critical disease.

Oxford Organ Perfusion Lab, Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences and Oxford BiomedicalResearch Centre, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK BackgroundContinuous liver NMP is a novel technology associated with safe extension of organ preservation time, increased organ utilisation and reduced early graft injury1. Increasingly, it is utilised as a ‘back to base’ application with cold storage for organ transport and NMP initiated at the implanting centre prior to transplantation2. We aimed to evaluate the impact of additional cold ischaemia time (CIT) on the proteomic and molecular signature of NMP livers. Methods Liver tissue samples (N= 57) from a prospective clinical trial of ‘back to base’ NMP were analysed. Collection occurred at the end of cold storage (LT1), end of NMP/total preservation (LT2) and after organ reperfusion (LT3). Unbiased, label-free-quantitative (LFQ) proteomic analysis was conducted using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) to time-of-flight (TOF) mass analysis (LC-MS/MS TIMS-TOF). Differential expression and Gene Ontology/Pathway analysis were performed. Results LT2 samples with prolonged CIT (>6hr) prior to NMP had significant differential expression of proteins associated with liver-specific oxidative stress, cellular haemostasis and removal of damaged or misfolded proteins (e.g. CYP3A5, PSMB1). LT3 samples, similarly, had reduced proteins involved in autophagy and cell-cycle regulation (e.g. STBD1, CD2AP, GADD45GIP1,) and increased expression of proteins involved in neutrophil chemotaxis, adhesion and aggregation (e.g. S100A9). Discussion The molecular signature of grafts at LT2 and LT3 varies depending on the length of CIT prior to NMP. Further exploration of the molecular signatures associated with preservation related graft injury is required to determine how best to apply this novel technology clinically. References: 1.

Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK Background Passenger Leukocytes (PLs) are implicated in both the direct and semi-direct pathways of allorecognition which is the process that underpins acute allograft rejection1. The majority of liver-derived PLs are short lived and predominantly impact early recipient immune responses2. Removal of PLs has been shown in kidney, lung and vascularised composite allografts to reduce early allograft damage and abrogate ejection3. We aimed to assess the use normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) to investigate PL kinetics and explore PL depletion strategies in donor livers. Methods Porcine livers (N=4) procured in a donation after circulatory death (DCD) model were preserved with sequential static cold storage then NMP. During NMP, livers were subjected to repeated 20 min warm ischaemic hits (IH) followed by 30mins of NMP using a leukocyte depleted autologous RBC based perfusate. Leukocytes were quantified using the Sysmex® cell counter system and samples stored for flow cytometric analysis. Results In total, 3.4x106 PLs are effluxed into the circuit immediately after initiation of NMP, this falls rapidly to 1.35x106 by 30 mins. Following the first IH, a further efflux of occurs with a peak of 3.74x106 occurring. The second IH also induced an efflux of cells (1.61x106) with lymphocytes representing the predominant leukocyte sub-type in each efflux. Discussion During NMP, there is an inducible and reproducible efflux of graft derived PLs into the circuit that is composed of predominantly lymphocytes with unexpectedly low numbers of monocytes. Removal of these PLs from the perfusate during NMP may therefore be feasible using an in-line leukocyte-filter. References 1. Alsughayyir, J., Motallebzadeh, R. & Pettigrew, G. J.

Increasingly, it isutilised as a ‘back to base’ application with cold storage for organ transport and NMP initiatedat the implanting centre prior to transplantation2. We aimed to evaluate the impact ofadditional cold ischaemia time (CIT) on the proteomic and molecular signature of NMP livers. \u0000MethodsLiver tissue samples (N= 57) from a prospective clinical trial of ‘back to base’ NMP wereanalysed. Collection occurred at the end of cold storage (LT1), end of NMP/total preservation(LT2) and after organ reperfusion (LT3). Unbiased, label-free-quantitative (LFQ) proteomicanalysis was conducted using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry andtrapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) to time-of-flight (TOF) mass analysis (LC-MS/MS TIMSTOF).Differential expression and Gene Ontology/Pathway analysis were performed. \u0000ResultsLT2 samples with prolonged CIT (>6hr) prior to NMP had significant differential expression ofproteins associated with liver-specific oxidative stress, cellular haemostasis and removal ofdamaged or misfolded proteins (e.g. CYP3A5, PSMB1). LT3 samples, similarly, had reducedproteins involved in autophagy and cell-cycle regulation (e.g. STBD1, CD2AP, GADD45GIP1,) andincreased expression of proteins involved in neutrophil chemotaxis, adhesion and aggregation(e.g. S100A9). \u0000DiscussionThe molecular signature of grafts at LT2 and LT3 varies depending on the length of CIT prior toNMP.

Knowledge regarding manifestations and outcomes is largely derived from adult cohorts. Thus, we investigated the occurrence and treatment of MEN1 manifestations in children and adolescents, and also explored potential genotype-phenotype correlations. Methods Eighty MEN1 patients who underwent childhood/adolescent tumour surveillance at 5 international referral centres were included. Fisher’s exact, Wilcoxon rank-sum and Kaplan-Meier tests were used to compare proportions, continuous variables and recurrence-free survival, respectively. Results Fifty-six patients (70%) developed an MEN1 manifestation before 19 years, at a median age of 14 years (range: 6-18 years). Primary hyperparathyroidism occurred in 46/56 patients (82.1%), 33 (72%) of whom underwent parathyroidectomy. Less-than-subtotal (<3-gland) parathyroidectomy resulted in worse recurrence/persistence-free survival vs subtotal (3-3.5-gland) or total (4-gland) parathyroidectomy (median 27 months vs not reached; P=0.005). Twenty-one patients (37.5%) developed DP-NETs (non-functioning [n=15], insulinomas [n=8], and gastrinoma [n=1]), 12 (57.1%) underwent surgery and 3 (14.3%) had metastases (hepatic [n=2] and lymph node [n=1]). Compared to patients without DP-NETs, those with DP-NETs at <19 years were more likely to harbour MEN1 mutations disrupting the menin-JunD interaction domain (80% vs 51.9%; P=0.0459). Pituitary tumours developed in 18/56 patients (32%) and were mostly dopamine agonist-responsive prolactinomas. Conclusions Morbidity from MEN1 manifestations occurs during childhood and adolescence in 70% of patients. Less-than-subtotal parathyroidectomy leads to high failure rates. DP-NETs are the second most common manifestation in this age group and ma
