Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in children and the elderly. Recurrent IPD (rIPD) is more challenging to manage and differentiate between re-infection with a new strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and relapse associated with host immunodeficiency ​or unrecognised antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study examined genomic features of S. pneumoniae associated with rIPD. A set of 140 S. pneumoniae isolates from 67 patients with rIPD was investigated. All isolates were subjected to Quellung serotyping and whole-genome sequencing to determine episodes of rIPD relapse and reinfection and to identify AMR genes. In the first and second episodes, 33 (49%) of cases of rIPD were associated with different serotypes of S. pneumoniae and were classified as reinfections. In 34 cases, both presentations were caused by S. pneumoniae of the same serotype. Genomic comparison of pneumococci associated with these rIPD episodes indicated that a further 7% (5/67) were reinfections and the rest (29 cases of rIPD; 43%) were cases of relapse caused by genomically closely related strains. rIPD cases with over 6000 mutations between core genome in S. pneumoniae were classified as reinfection, while endogenous relapse cases were characterised by fewer than 34 mutations between the core genomes of S. pneumoniae. rIPD recurrence within a year was more likely to be a relapse than a reinfection. Relapse cases were more likely to have AMR markers present in the initial episode, with no significant evidence of AMR acquisition between episodes. These findings suggest a role for S. pneumoniae genome sequence analysis in differentiating endogenous relapse from exogenous reinfection in rIPD to inform clinical management and public health follow-up.
侵袭性肺炎球菌病(IPD)是世界范围内发病率和死亡率的主要原因,特别是在儿童和老年人中。复发性IPD (rIPD)在管理和区分肺炎链球菌新菌株再次感染和与宿主免疫缺陷或未识别的抗菌素耐药性(AMR)相关的复发方面更具挑战性。本研究检测了与rIPD相关的肺炎链球菌的基因组特征。对67例rIPD患者分离的140株肺炎链球菌进行了研究。所有分离株均进行Quellung血清分型和全基因组测序,以确定rIPD复发和再感染的发生率,并鉴定AMR基因。在第一次和第二次发作中,33例(49%)的rIPD病例与不同血清型肺炎链球菌相关,并被归类为再感染。在34例中,两种症状均由同一血清型的肺炎链球菌引起。与这些rIPD发作相关的肺炎球菌的基因组比较表明,另外7%(5/67)是再感染,其余(29例rIPD, 43%)是由基因组密切相关的菌株引起的复发病例。肺炎链球菌核心基因组间突变超过6000个的rIPD病例被归类为再感染,而内源性复发病例的特征是肺炎链球菌核心基因组间突变少于34个。一年内复发的rIPD更可能是复发而不是再感染。复发病例更有可能在初始发作时出现AMR标记物,在发作之间没有明显的AMR获得证据。这些发现表明,肺炎链球菌基因组序列分析在区分rIPD的内源性复发和外源性再感染方面具有重要作用,可为临床管理和公共卫生随访提供信息。

The evolving pathological features of panniculitis make biopsy timing critical. This study explores clinicopathological concordance and the role of biopsy timing and non-invasive laboratory parameters in predicting histopathological findings in erythema nodosum (EN). Our retrospective study analysed the clinical and pathological features of all clinically suspected and/or histopathologically diagnosed panniculitis cases over a period of 3.5 years. The week of biopsy, total leukocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and their impact on histopathological features were analysed. The clinicopathological concordance was 61.4% for panniculitis overall (n=69) and 66.2% for EN (n=30). Cohen's kappa showed fair agreement for EN (κ=0.318). The sensitivity of clinical diagnosis for EN was 70%, with a specificity of 64%. The odds of getting small-sized adipocytes, fat necrosis, septal fibrosis, and vasculopathic changes were 1.872, 1.565, 1.361, and 1.235, respectively, for every 1-week rise in biopsy timing. An inverse correlation was found between granuloma formation and elevated ESR (p=0.037). Recurrence of EN was significantly associated with granuloma presence (p=0.045). This study evaluates the clinicopathological concordance, sensitivity, specificity, and precision of clinical diagnoses in cases of panniculitis. This study highlights the importance of objectively understanding the temporal heterogeneity in EN’s pathological features over time.
潘膜炎不断发展的病理特征使得活检时机至关重要。本研究探讨了结节性红斑(EN)的临床病理一致性以及活检时间和非侵入性实验室参数在预测组织病理结果中的作用。我们的回顾性研究分析了所有临床疑似和/或组织病理学诊断的潘膜炎病例的临床和病理特征,为期3.5年。分析活检周、总白细胞计数、中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值、中性粒细胞与单核细胞比值、红细胞沉降率(ESR)及其对组织病理学特征的影响。pannicultis的临床病理一致性为61.4% (n=69), EN的临床病理一致性为66.2% (n=30)。Cohen’s kappa对EN表现出相当的一致性(κ=0.318)。临床诊断EN的敏感性为70%,特异性为64%。活检时间每增加1周,出现小脂肪细胞、脂肪坏死、间隔纤维化和血管病变的几率分别为1.872、1.565、1.361和1.235。肉芽肿形成与ESR升高呈负相关(p=0.037)。EN的复发与肉芽肿的存在显著相关(p=0.045)。本研究评估全膜炎病例的临床病理一致性、敏感性、特异性和临床诊断的准确性。本研究强调了客观理解EN病理特征随时间变化的时间异质性的重要性。

Since the 1970s, albumin-adjusted calcium has been widely used to approximate ionised calcium concentrations, particularly in patients with abnormal serum albumin levels. This adjustment was introduced to mitigate misclassification of calcium status when direct measurement of ionised calcium (technically demanding and resource-intensive at that time) was unavailable. Despite its historical utility, emerging evidence has highlighted significant limitations. This review critically examines the validity and clinical utility of adjusted calcium, with a focus on specific populations such as the elderly, critically ill, and those with kidney disease, in whom albumin derangement is more common. Adjusted calcium assumes stable ionised calcium levels across varying albumin concentrations and overlooks key modifiers such as pH, phosphate, lactate, and between-assay variability. Multiple studies demonstrate that adjusted calcium does not outperform unadjusted total calcium and may misclassify calcium status, particularly in patients with hypoalbuminaemia and impaired kidney function. Further limitations include variability in albumin assays and the derivation of adjustment formulas from non-representative populations. Adjusted calcium offers limited diagnostic value and should not replace ionised calcium where accurate assessment is essential. A reflex testing strategy, using total calcium as a screening tool, followed by ionised calcium testing when indicated, may provide a more reliable and pragmatic approach. Laboratory professionals and clinicians should recognise the considerable analytical and clinical limitations of adjusted calcium and interpret results with caution.

自20世纪70年代以来,白蛋白调节钙被广泛用于估计离子钙浓度,特别是在血清白蛋白水平异常的患者中。引入这一调整是为了在无法直接测量电离钙(当时技术要求高且资源密集)时减轻钙状态的错误分类。尽管它在历史上很有用,但新出现的证据突出了它的重大局限性。这篇综述严格检查了调整钙的有效性和临床应用,重点关注特定人群,如老年人、危重患者和肾病患者,在这些人群中白蛋白紊乱更为常见。调整钙假设在不同的白蛋白浓度下离子钙水平稳定,并忽略了关键的调节剂,如pH值、磷酸盐、乳酸盐和测定间的可变性。多项研究表明,调整后的钙并不优于未调整的总钙,可能会对钙状态进行错误分类,特别是在低白蛋白血症和肾功能受损的患者中。进一步的限制包括白蛋白测定的可变性和从非代表性人群中推导调整公式。校正钙的诊断价值有限,在需要准确评估的情况下不应取代离子钙。反射测试策略,使用总钙作为筛选工具,然后在适应症时进行离子钙测试,可能提供更可靠和实用的方法。实验室专业人员和临床医生应认识到调整钙的相当大的分析和临床局限性,并谨慎解释结果。

MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14) is a key oncogenic driver in 2% of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and is enriched in sarcomatoid carcinoma (SAC). However, the prevalence and significance of METex14 NSCLC in the Australian population is not known. We evaluated the incidence, clinical, molecular, and histopathological features of METex14 and SAC cases in an Australian tertiary referral centre. We retrospectively analysed clinical, molecular, histopathological, and immunohistochemical data of NSCLC cases undergoing DNA and/or RNA fusion panel next-generation sequencing (NGS) between 1 July 2021 and 15 May 2024. Among 1267 NSCLC, 880 (69%) cases had DNA NGS only, 359 (28%) cases had both DNA NGS and RNA fusion panel, and 28 (2%) cases had RNA fusion panel only. Overall, 29 (2.3%) cases had METex14, 14 (1.1%) had MET amplification, and 10 (0.8%) had MET R988C. Of the 29 METex14 patients, 15 (52%) were women and 14 (48%) were men. METex14 patients were older than those who were MET wild-type, or with EGFR or KRAS mutations (median age 76 vs 71, 69, and 71, respectively) and were less likely to be smokers than KRAS-mutated cases (58% vs 92%, p<0.0001). Most METex14 cases were adenocarcinomas (76%), with 14% classified as SAC. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was higher in METex14 than in EGFR-mutated cases. Median survival for METex14 patients was 26 months (stage I), not reached (stage II), 8 months (stage III), and 3.5 months (stage IV). Among 28 SAC cases, 57% harboured oncogenic mutations, including KRAS (18%), METex14 (14%), BRAF V600E (7%), and EGFR exon 19 deletion (4%). SAC exhibited significantly higher PD-L1 expression (mean tumour proportion score 71 vs 30, p<0.0001) and a greater proportion of high PD-L1 expressors (82% vs 30%, p<0.0001) than other NSCLC subtypes. Stage IV SAC patients had a median survival of only 2 months. In summary, in our cohort of NSCLC, METex14 mutation was found in 2% of cases using DNA NGS alone ​and up to 3% when both DNA NGS and RNA fusion panel testing were employed. METex14 mutations were more common in elderly patients, with an equal gender distribution and a high proportion of non-smokers. While most cases were adenocarcinomas, SAC was enriched for METex14. SAC was an aggressive NSCLC subtype, with KRAS and METex14 as the most common driver mutations. Given the high prevalence of PD-L1 expression in SAC, further research on immunotherapy efficacy in this group is warranted.

In summary, in our cohort of NSCLC, <em>MET</em>ex14 mutation was found in 2% of cases using DNA NGS alone ​and up to 3% when both DNA NGS and RNA fusion panel testing were employed. <em>MET</em>ex14 mutations were more common in elderly patients, with an equal gender distribution and a high proportion of non-smokers. While most cases were adenocarcinomas, SAC was enriched for <em>MET</em>ex14. SAC was an aggressive NSCLC subtype, with <em>KRAS</em> and <em>MET</em>ex14 as the most common driver mutations. Given the high prevalence of PD-L1 expression in SAC, further research on immunotherapy efficacy in this group is warranted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19915,"journal":{"name":"Pathology","volume":"58 1","pages":"Pages 41-51"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145557336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The definition of deficiency or insufficiency of vitamin D remains challenging because currently used thresholds of <30 ​nmol/L and between 30 and either 50 or 75 ​nmol/L are not consistently associated with clinical or biochemical abnormalities suggestive of secondary hyperparathyroidism, compromised bone volume, microarchitecture, or osteomalacia. Indeed, there is little convincing clinical, biochemical, bone densitometric, microarchitectural, or histomorphometric evidence that 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels between 30 and 75 ​nmol/L in community dwellers identify a vitamin D 'insufficiency' disease. There is evidence of modest elevations of serum parathyroid hormone in a minority of individuals with 25(OH)D level <30 ​nmol/L, alerting to the possibility of a 'deficiency' state. However, even at this level of 'deficiency', most individuals have no biochemical or bone structural abnormalities. Meta-analyses of studies grouped according to commonality in dosage of vitamin D, with or without calcium supplementation, are used to make inferences concerning the correct treatment regimens, but confounders make these inferences problematic. Few well-designed and well-executed placebo-controlled studies have tested the antifracture efficacy and safety of different doses of vitamin D or conducted factorial-designed placebo-controlled trials comparing vitamin D plus calcium supplements versus either drug alone. By contrast, it is likely that there is a vitamin D deficiency state compromising bone health in residents of nursing homes and patients with limited sunlight exposure, malnutrition, or malabsorption. These circumstances signal the possibility of emerging or established bone disease requiring investigation and supplementation if appropriate.
