Gastrointestinal cancer: Which way is forward in the treatment of rectal cancer?
No full textPreoperative 5-fluorouracil-based chemoradiation with optimal surgery provides very effective local control in locally advanced rectal cancer. Does adding oxaliplatin as a radiosensitizer provide any additional benefit? Is more always better? Jansen, R. L. H. & Beets, G. L. Nat. Rev. Clin. Oncol. 10, 12-13 (2013); published online 11 December 2012; doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2012.21
Long-term imaging characteristics of clinical complete responders during watch-and-wait for rectal cancer—an evaluation of over 1500 MRIs
No full textObjectives Rectal cancer patients with a clinical complete response after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) may be followed with a ‘watch-and-wait’ (W&W) approach as an alternative to surgery. MRI plays an important role in the follow-up of these patients, but basic knowledge on what to expect from the morphology of the irradiated tumour bed during follow-up is lacking, which can hamper image interpretation. The objective was to establish the spectrum of non-suspicious findings during long-term (> 2 years) follow-up in patients with a sustained clinical complete response undergoing W&W. Methods A total of 1509 T2W MRIs of 164 sustained complete responders undergoing W&W were retrospectively evaluated. Morphology of the tumour bed was evaluated (2 independent readers) on the restaging MRI and on the various follow-up MRIs and classified as (a) no fibrosis, (b) minimal fibrosis, (c) full thickness fibrosis, or (d) irregular fibrosis. Any changes occurring during follow-up were documented. Results A total of 104 patients (63%) showed minimal fibrosis, 38 (23%) full thickness fibrosis, 8 (5%) irregular fibrosis, and 14 (9%) no fibrosis. In 93% of patients, the morphology remained completely stable during follow-up; in 7%, a minor increase/ decrease in fibrosis was observed. Interobserver agreement was excellent (κ 0.90). Conclusions Typically, the morphology as established at restaging remains completely unchanged. The majority of patients show fibrosis with the predominant pattern being a minimal fibrosis confined to the rectal wall. Complete absence of fibrosis occurs in only 1/10 cases. Once validated in independent cohorts, these findings may serve as a reference for radiologists involved in the clinical follow-up of W&W patients

No full textThe growing importance of bio-based products, combined with the desire to decrease the production of wastes, boosts the necessity to use wastes as raw materials for bio-based products. A waste material with a large potential is spent sugar beets, which are mainly used as animal feeds or fertilizers. After hydrothermal treatment, the produced chars exhibited an H/C ratio of 1.2 and a higher heating value of 22.7 MJ/kg, which were similar to that of subbituminous coal and higher than that of lignite. Moreover, the treatment of 25 g/L of glucose and 22 g/L of fructose by heating up to 160 °C led to a possible application of spent sugar beets for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. In the present study, the maximum concentration of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was 3.4 g/L after heating up to 200 °C
Microalga as biofertilizer improves yield, sugars and amino acids content in red beets
No full textThe growing uncertainty of future changes in our global climate may pose a threat to some traditional farming methods, stimulating the development of nature friendly technologies. Microalgae are a group of micro photosynthetic organisms, which have immense potential as a renewable and ecofriendly bioresource for various industries. The present study was developed to evaluate foliar sprays of a green microalga Asterarcys quadricellulare (CCAP 294/1) on organically grown red beets (Beta vulgaris L) A field experiment was implemented to evaluate microalgal biomass bioactivity and its effects in leaves and hypocotyl growth, comparing fresh and dry weight, yield; and biochemical alterations, comparing pigments, sugars and free amino acids. The spray dried biomass of the A. quadricellulare was applied to leaves at concentrations 0.05g, 0.1 g, 0.15g and 0.25 g L-¹. The sprays with the microalga biomass increased yield, and improved free amino acids, sugars, dry weight and beets commercial diameter. This study shows that the foliar sprays presented a biofertilizer effect, emphasizing the solution at 0.25 g L-¹, which resulted in a 52% increase in yield. The results indicate that the microalga is a nature friendly, renewable and economic resource for red beet production.The growing uncertainty of future changes in our global climate may pose a threat to some traditional farming methods, stimulating the development of nature friendly technologies.
