The accurate staging of stage 1 vulvar squamous cell carcinoma has been complicated by multiple definitions of how to measure depth of invasion (DOI). These differences create a subset of tumours that by the alternative method would be classified as stage IA but by the conventional method are classified as stage IB. This study evaluates the clinical outcomes of patients who were down-staged from IB to IA using the alternative method as opposed to the conventional method. Another analysis compared DOI measurement using an ocular micrometer on glass slides versus digital ruler with digitised slides. A total of 46 stage I (IA or IB) vulvar squamous cell carcinomas were identified; 11 were classified as stage IB if the conventional method was used but down-staged if the alternative definition was used. Down-staged patients with clinical follow-up data showed no recurrent lymph node involvement, while three of the 22 patients consistently staged as IB showed recurrent lymph node involvement. Digital ruler measurements of DOI were, on average, over 1 ​mm less than the manual ocular micrometer measurements. These data support prior publications that encourage the use of the alternative method of DOI measurement as a more conservative approach to staging vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and avoiding lymph node sampling in a subset of patients who do not show as high a risk of nodal metastasis. Additionally, this study highlights a more conservative DOI measurement when using a digital measuring ruler than while using the manual ocular micrometer.
如何测量浸润深度(DOI)的多重定义使1期外阴鳞状细胞癌的准确分期变得复杂。这些差异产生了一个肿瘤亚群,通过替代方法将其分类为IA期,但通过传统方法将其分类为IB期。本研究使用替代方法与传统方法相比,评估了从IB期降至IA期的患者的临床结果。另一项分析比较了在玻片上使用眼千分尺和在数字化玻片上使用数字尺进行DOI测量。共发现46例I期(IA或IB)外阴鳞状细胞癌;如果使用常规方法,则将11个分类为IB阶段,如果使用替代定义,则将其分类为低阶段。临床随访数据显示,分期较低的患者没有淋巴结复发,而22例一贯分期为IB的患者中有3例淋巴结复发。数字尺测量的DOI平均比手动千分尺测量的DOI小1毫米以上。这些数据支持先前的出版物,这些出版物鼓励使用DOI测量替代方法作为外阴鳞状细胞癌分期的更保守的方法,并避免在未显示淋巴结转移高风险的患者亚群中进行淋巴结取样。此外,本研究强调了使用数字测量尺比使用手动眼测微计时更保守的DOI测量。

Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) is a frequently employed laboratory test in clinical settings, with over 10,000 requests per annum in our centre. It is primarily utilised for the diagnosis and monitoring of paraproteinaemia. Interpretation on SPE is time-consuming and relies on the expertise of pathologists, with potential interobserver variability. Assistance from machine learning algorithms could improve efficiency and objectiveness. Digitised capillary electrophoresis (CE) tracings acquired using the Sebia Minicap Protein(E) 6 kit were extracted from the analyser, and corresponding reports for SPE were obtained from the laboratory information systems of Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) and Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH). Three artificial neural networks (for fractionation, classification and location plus quantification) were trained and evaluated against reference interpretations from one to two pathologists. Samples from PMH constitute the training datasets. Trained models were subsequently evaluated with samples from TMH. A total of 41,448 and 24,501 CE tracings and corresponding reports for SPE, spanning from October 2014 to November 2022, were obtained from PMH and TMH, respectively; 25,661–41,014 samples from PMH constituted the training datasets. Trained models were subsequently evaluated with 24,238 samples from TMH. The classification model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.976 in the testing dataset, with an agreement rate of 93.8%. The fractionation model had mean and standard deviation difference from reported manual fractioning of –0.0884 to 0.155 g/L and 0.315 to 2.04 g/L, respectively, across the six serum protein bands. Peak quantification by the location plus quantification model correlated with manual quantification, with Spearman's r of 0.976. The machine learning models achieved near-human performances. They enabled high-throughput SPE analyses and interpretation and improved objectiveness and reproducibility of results.
血清蛋白电泳(SPE)是临床环境中经常使用的实验室测试,每年在我们中心有超过10,000个请求。它主要用于副蛋白血症的诊断和监测。对SPE的解释是耗时的,并且依赖于病理学家的专业知识,并且存在潜在的观察者之间的差异。机器学习算法的帮助可以提高效率和客观性。使用Sebia Minicap Protein(E) 6试剂盒从分析仪中提取数字化毛细管电泳(CE)图,并从玛嘉烈医院(PMH)和屯门医院(TMH)的实验室信息系统中获取相应的SPE报告。三个人工神经网络(用于分馏,分类和定位加上量化)进行了训练,并根据一到两名病理学家的参考解释进行了评估。PMH的样本构成训练数据集。训练后的模型随后用TMH的样本进行评估。从2014年10月到2022年11月,PMH和TMH分别获得了41,448和24,501份SPE的CE跟踪和相应报告;来自PMH的25,661-41,014个样本构成了训练数据集。训练后的模型随后用来自TMH的24238个样本进行了评估。该分类模型在测试数据集中获得的受试者工作特征曲线下面积为0.976,符合率为93.8%。在6个血清蛋白条带上,该分离模型与报道的人工分离的均值和标准差分别为-0.0884 ~ 0.155 g/L和0.315 ~ 2.04 g/L。定位加定量与人工定量呈正相关,Spearman’s r为0.976。机器学习模型取得了接近人类的表现。它们使高通量SPE分析和解释成为可能,提高了结果的客观性和可重复性。

TP53 mutations, which are prevalent in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), play a crucial role in carcinogenesis, are associated with poor prognosis ​and significantly contribute to resistance against key therapeutic options, such as chemotherapy, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and immunotherapy. However, sequencing of tissues from all patients to detect TP53 mutations is challenging. This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of the correlation between p53 immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and TP53 mutations in patients with NSCLC. This study aimed to examine the relationship between p53 IHC staining patterns and TP53 mutations using next-generation sequencing in 200 patients with NSCLCs. TP53 mutations were found in 122 patients (61%) and showed significant associations with sex, smoking status, and tumour mutation burden. A 20% cut-off for p53 IHC staining was optimal for predicting TP53 mutations, particularly missense variants. Correlation with TP53 mutation types revealed that 0% staining (complete loss pattern) was linked with truncating mutations, 1–19% staining (wild-type pattern) with wild-type TP53, and ≥20% staining (accumulation pattern) with missense mutations. These classifications were consistent with the findings of 184 patients (92%), whereas discrepancies were observed in 16 patients (8%), often owing to intratumoural heterogeneity. Patients with hotspot or critical region mutations exhibited higher concordance between p53 IHC and TP53 mutation status. In conclusion, p53 IHC staining is a reliable method for predicting TP53 mutations in patients with NSCLC and has significant implications for predicting prognosis and therapeutic responses.
TP53突变在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中普遍存在,在癌变中起着至关重要的作用,与不良预后相关,并显著促进对关键治疗方案的耐药性,如化疗、表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂和免疫治疗。然而,对所有患者的组织进行测序以检测TP53突变是具有挑战性的。本研究首次全面分析了非小细胞肺癌患者中p53免疫组化(IHC)染色与TP53突变的相关性。本研究旨在利用新一代测序技术检测200例非小细胞肺癌患者中p53 IHC染色模式与TP53突变之间的关系。在122例(61%)患者中发现TP53突变,并显示出与性别、吸烟状况和肿瘤突变负担显著相关。对于预测TP53突变,尤其是错义变异,IHC染色的20%临界值是最佳的。与TP53突变类型的相关性显示,0%染色(完全丢失模式)与截断突变相关,1-19%染色(野生型模式)与野生型TP53相关,≥20%染色(积累模式)与错义突变相关。这些分类与184例(92%)患者的发现一致,而16例(8%)患者的发现存在差异,通常是由于肿瘤内异质性。热点区或关键区突变患者p53 IHC与TP53突变状态的一致性较高。综上所述,p53 IHC染色是预测非小细胞肺癌患者TP53突变的可靠方法,对预测预后和治疗反应具有重要意义。

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is expressed on various cell types and tumour entities, where it might enhance antitumoural effects of the immune system and impact tumour angiogenesis. However, the clinical significance of STING expression in tumour cells as compared to tumour-associated inflammatory cells is not fully resolved. To evaluate the clinical significance of STING expression in different cell types of colorectal cancer (CRC), 1,905 patients were analysed by multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray format in combination with a deep learning algorithm for automated cell detection. High STING expression on tumour was associated with microsatellite instability (MSI, p<0.0001), low tumour stage (pT, p=0.0013), absence of nodal metastasis (pN, p=0.0003) and tumour localisation in the right colon (p<0.0001). Subgroup analysis of tumours with and without MSI did not show associations between STING expression on tumour cells and pT or pN. While the number of CD68 leukocytes and macrophages was related to MSI, low pT ​and pN0, there were significant associations between a high percentage of STING-positive macrophages and CD68- leukocytes to low pT (p<0.0001 each) and the absence of metastases for a high percentage of STING-positive macrophages (p=0.0033). In summary, our data show that high STING expression in tumour cells is strongly linked to MSI while STING expression on macrophages and CD68 leukocytes is tightly linked to the extent of tumour-associated inflammation in CRC.
干扰素基因刺激因子(STING)在多种细胞类型和肿瘤实体中表达,可能增强免疫系统的抗肿瘤作用并影响肿瘤血管生成。然而,与肿瘤相关炎症细胞相比,肿瘤细胞中STING表达的临床意义尚未完全确定。为了评估STING在结直肠癌(CRC)不同细胞类型中表达的临床意义,我们采用组织微阵列格式的多重荧光免疫组织化学技术结合深度学习算法对1905例患者进行了分析。肿瘤上STING的高表达与微卫星不稳定性相关(MSI, p-白细胞和巨噬细胞与MSI,低pT和pN0相关),高百分比的STING阳性巨噬细胞和CD68-白细胞与低pT之间存在显著关联(p-白细胞与CRC中肿瘤相关炎症的程度密切相关)。

Laboratory diagnosis of congenital and acquired coagulopathies, including challenging-to-diagnose rare bleeding disorders 先天性和获得性凝血病的实验室诊断,包括难以诊断的罕见出血性疾病。

Coagulation factors, anticoagulant proteins, and fibrinolytic proteins are important for haemostasis and may be altered by inherited and acquired conditions. Common causes of coagulopathies include vitamin K (VK) deficiency (VKD), liver disease, lupus anticoagulants, consumption or disseminated intravascular coagulation, and much less commonly, an inherited or an acquired autoimmune coagulopathy. VKD typically accounts for ≥30% of all coagulopathy referrals, and VKD is particularly common among infants but can occur at any age and in combination with other coagulopathies. Tests for fibrinogen help assess both congenital and acquired coagulopathies, with low levels predictive of poor outcomes from diverse conditions including trauma and postpartum haemorrhage. Inherited factor deficiencies are rarer, and some affect multiple coagulation factors (F), such as combined FV and FVIII deficiency, familial deficiencies of VK-dependent clotting factors, and congenital disorders of glycosylation. Additionally, there are some rare but important disorders that uniquely impair the procoagulant/anticoagulant balance, including F5 mutations that markedly increase tissue factor pathway inhibitor in plasma, causing prolonged prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times, without factor deficiencies. THBD mutations that increase functional, soluble thrombomodulin in plasma can also cause bleeding. Other THBD mutations cause thrombomodulin deficiency and a consumptive coagulopathy. Bleeding disorders that result from pathogenic changes to fibrinolysis include autosomal recessive, loss-of-function mutations in SERPINE1 and SERPINF2 and an autosomal dominant gain-of-function mutation affecting PLAU, in the case of Quebec platelet disorder, which causes platelet-dependent increased fibrinolysis. Laboratories need to consider strategies for diagnosing these different conditions.
凝血因子、抗凝蛋白和纤溶蛋白对止血很重要,并可能因遗传和获得性疾病而改变。凝血功能障碍的常见原因包括维生素K (VK)缺乏(VKD)、肝脏疾病、狼疮抗凝剂、消耗或弥散性血管内凝血,以及更不常见的遗传或获得性自身免疫性凝血功能障碍。VKD通常占所有凝血病转诊的30%以上,VKD在婴儿中特别常见,但可发生在任何年龄,并与其他凝血病合并。纤维蛋白原检测有助于评估先天性和获得性凝血功能障碍,低水平的纤维蛋白原检测可预测包括创伤和产后出血在内的多种疾病的不良预后。遗传性因子缺乏较为少见,部分影响多种凝血因子(F),如FV和FVIII联合缺乏、家族性vk依赖性凝血因子缺乏、先天性糖基化障碍等。此外,还有一些罕见但重要的疾病会独特地损害促凝/抗凝平衡,包括F5突变,其显著增加血浆中组织因子途径抑制剂,导致凝血酶原延长和部分凝血活酶活化时间,而没有因子缺乏。THBD突变增加血浆中功能性可溶性血栓调节蛋白也可引起出血。其他THBD突变引起血栓调节素缺乏和消耗性凝血病。由纤维蛋白溶解的致病性改变引起的出血性疾病包括常染色体隐性SERPINE1和serinf2的功能丧失突变,以及影响PLAU的常染色体显性功能获得突变,在魁北克血小板疾病的情况下,这会导致血小板依赖性纤维蛋白溶解增加。实验室需要考虑诊断这些不同疾病的策略。

Common causes of coagulopathies include vitamin K (VK) deficiency (VKD), liver disease, lupus anticoagulants, consumption or disseminated intravascular coagulation, and much less commonly, an inherited or an acquired autoimmune coagulopathy. VKD typically accounts for ≥30% of all coagulopathy referrals, and VKD is particularly common among infants but can occur at any age and in combination with other coagulopathies. Tests for fibrinogen help assess both congenital and acquired coagulopathies, with low levels predictive of poor outcomes from diverse conditions including trauma and postpartum haemorrhage. Inherited factor deficiencies are rarer, and some affect multiple coagulation factors (F), such as combined FV and FVIII deficiency, familial deficiencies of VK-dependent clotting factors, and congenital disorders of glycosylation. Additionally, there are some rare but important disorders that uniquely impair the procoagulant/anticoagulant balance, including <em>F5</em> mutations that markedly increase tissue factor pathway inhibitor in plasma, causing prolonged prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times, without factor deficiencies. <em>THBD</em> mutations that increase functional, soluble thrombomodulin in plasma can also cause bleeding. Other <em>THBD</em> mutations cause thrombomodulin deficiency and a consumptive coagulopathy. Bleeding disorders that result from pathogenic changes to fibrinolysis include autosomal recessive, loss-of-function mutations in <em>SERPINE1</em> and <em>SERPINF2</em> and an autosomal dominant gain-of-function mutation affecting <em>PLAU,</em> in the case of Quebec platelet disorder, which causes platelet-dependent increased fibrinolysis.
