RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgery plays a role in terms of multimodal treatment. Surgery rates have increased in recent years, mainly due to the combination of more accurate imaging tools, electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy, robotic bronchoscopy, robotic surgery, and a wide range of challenging clinical scenarios to lead surgeons and oncologists to include surgery as an option in therapeutic management. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prognostic factors, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with resectable stage III-NSCLC. METHODS: Patients' information was extracted from 76 Hospitals' Cancer Registry. OS and CSS were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used to assess differences between curves. In addition, Cox regression was conducted to evaluate the patients' characteristics leading to better OS and CSS. RESULTS: Overall, 433 stage III NSCLC surgical patients followed over 19 years were included. The median age was 61.29 ± 9.62 years, 58.4% male, 50.1% with adenocarcinoma, 29.3% with squamous cell carcinoma, 3.7% with large-cell lung carcinoma, and 16,9% with other lung cancer types. The 5-year OS was 30.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 27.4-36.1), and the CSS was 35.0% (95% CI: 29.4-41.0). In the Cox multivariate regression, squamous cell carcinoma was associated with reduced OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.07-1.83; p=0.014) and CSS (HR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.17-2.08; p = 0.002), in comparison with adenocarcinoma. The 2015-2019 quinquennial had a 50% reduction in HR (0.49; 95% CI: 0.29-0.81; p = 0.006), and the 2010-2014 group had a 40% reduction (0.59; 95% CI: 0.42-0.83; p = 0.006) in comparison with the 2000-2004 patients' group. CONCLUSION: The OS and CSS of patients with resectable stage III NSCLC have improved over the past 19 years in our region. Squamous cell carcinoma was associated with increased mortality risk from any cause or specific cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays the majority of the surgical procedures are video surgeries. Despite technological advances, some problems remain. The buildup of residues in front of the lens is an example of this problem. To solve it, Abreu et al. (Surg Technol Int 26:43-47, 2015) developed LacrimaSurg, which works as a lacrimal duct in the optics preventing fogging and residues buildup on it. This had 98.1% of efficiency in an experimental study. OBJECTIVE: Study feasibility and safety of the device under real surgical conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pilot study included 30 patients undergoing thoracic procedures using LacrimaSurg. Procedures were recorded for further analysis by investigators. The characteristics of patients (age, sex, body mass index, Charlton comorbidity index), data of environment (Temperatures variances), and data of procedures (type of surgery and duration of it) were recorded. The investigators watched the videos and recorded the residue buildup and fogging events that impaired surgeon's vision. The number of times the optics got dirty, need for further jets of crystalloid solution, and need for mechanical cleaning were collected to evaluate efficacy. Comparative serum measurements of electrolytes before and after surgery were studied. Data were organized and analyzed by simple linear correlations and t test for continuous variables and Fisher's test for categorical variables. RESULTS: The use of the device allowed 97% of the procedures to be performed without interruption. No characteristics inherent to the patients or to the procedures that lead to fogging or filth of the optics were identified. There were no statistically significant differences between pre- and postoperative serum ions, and no postoperative complications related to the use of the device were observed. CONCLUSION: The device was effective in preventing interruption of surgical procedures due to dirt or fogging, its use was considered safe, and did not cause postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT Laetia suaveolens (Poepp.) Benth., Salicaceae, popularly known as "casinga-cheirosa", "caferana", or "laranjinha", is native to Brazil but not endemic to this country. A crude organic extract was obtained from the leaves and stem and intraperitoneally administered in male Balb-c mice. Its behavioral effects were evaluated in the open field and elevated plus maze in a two-stage experiment that assessed ten different parameters related to behavior as locomotion, emotionality, and anxiety. In the first stage of the experiment, intraperitoneal the crude organic extract administration dose-dependently impaired locomotion and emotionality 30–120 min after administration. A significant decrease in defecation was observed, which was related to emotionality. No alterations in the elevated plus maze were found; thus, this apparatus was not used in the next stage of the experiment. In the second stage, the previously determined non-lethal dose of 0.1563 g/kg was intraperitoneally administered, which impaired locomotion and rearing frequency and increased immobility time. Necropsy revealed smooth intestine hemorrhage. Rutin, leucoside, nicotiflorin, guaijaverin, and astragalin were isolated from the crude organic extract. This is the first time that these compounds have been identified in L. suaveolens. In conclusion, the crude organic extract impaired locomotion and emotionality and caused hemorrhage in male Balb-c mice, indicating that its consumption can be harmful to humans and animals. The present results provide a basis for further studies on the pharmacology, toxicology, and natural product chemistry of the crude organic extract.
RESUMO
In 2011 the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), the American Thoracic Society (ATS), and the European Respiratory Society (ERS), have proposed a new subclassification of lung adenocarcinomas. This new classification was founded on an evidence-based approach to a systematic review of 11,368 citations from the related literature. Validation has involved projects relating to histologic and cytologic analysis of small biopsy specimens, histologic subtyping, grading, and observer variation among expert pathologists. As enormous resources are being spent on trials involving molecular and therapeutic aspects of adenocarcinoma of the lung, the development of standardized criteria is of great importance and should help advance the field, increasing the impact of research, and improving patient care. This classification is needed to assist in determining patient therapy and predicting outcome. The 2011 IASLC/ATS/ERS adenocarcinoma classification can have an impact on TNM staging. It may help in comparing histologic characteristics of multiple lung adenocarcinomas to determine whether they are intrapulmonary metastases versus separate primaries. Use of comprehensive histologic subtyping along with other histologic characteristics has been shown to have good correlation with molecular analyses and clinical behavior. Also, it may be more meaningful clinically to measure tumor size in lung adenocarcinomas that have a lepidic component by using invasive size rather than total size to determine the size T factor.
RESUMO
Laetia suaveolens, known as "casinga-cheirosa", crude extract EB719 has previously shown cytotoxic activity against prostate cancer and squamous cell carcinoma. For the first time, seven molecules were isolated from its apolar-α-tocopherol (1) and sitosterol (2)-and polar-3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3), 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4), 5-O-feruloylquinic acid (5), hyperoside (6), and isoquercitrin (7)-fractions. Acute toxicity was determined in a two-stage experiment: (1) a reduced number of Balb-c male mice received 5000 mg/kg of EB719 to allow evaluation of general activity and other 27 parameters, plus death, up to the establishment of non-lethal dose (NLD), as well as lethal dose 50% (LD50); (2) NLD was administered and diazepam introduced as reference drug. EB719 showed LD50=178.0 mg/kg, and NLD 156.3 mg/kg. In stage one EB719 did not influence general activity, but provoked impairment in grasp reflexes, tail squeeze and breathing; piloerection and cyanosis were increased. In stage two, alterations occurred in auricular reflex, piloerection and breathing after diazepam administration, but not in response to EB719. Intestinal hemorrhage caused by local bleeding was observed after necropsy, and may be the main cause of animals' death other than a systemic effect of the extract. Although the isolated compounds are biologically and pharmacologically active in both men and animal systems, it is premature to relate their occurrence in EB719 to the observed intestine hemorrhage in mice.

The organic extract EB689, obtained from the stem of Abarema auriculata (Benth.) Barneby & J.W.Grimes, Fabaceae, commonly known as "saboeiro-ferro", was chemically studied, as well as its influence over behavioral effects such as locomotion, emotionality and anxiety, after intra-peritonial administration were assessed. The open-field and elevated-plus maze were used in experiments divided into two stages. The first stage aimed for the identification of the main effects over behavior using a reduced number of animals against half-fold diluted doses of EB689. The same variables were also tested in a second stage of the experiment using the non-lethal intra-peritoneal dose of 4.8 mg/kg in a larger number of animals. It was observed that EB689 clearly decreased locomotion, which was probably caused by internal hemorrhage causing hypovolemic shock. Although it is the first time lupeol and eucryphin are described in A. auriculata, it is still not clear if they are involved in the toxicology of A. auriculata. The undesirable effects of EB689 are better understood, the basis for further pharmacological assays aiming antitumor activity are supported.
RESUMO
Splenic metastasis is rare and generally associated with disseminated disease, often seen in breast cancer, colorectal and ovarian carcinoma, and melanoma. Isolated metastasis to the spleen is rare, with only 93 cases from all sources having been reported up to 2007. Moreover, isolated splenic metastasis from primary lung cancer is extremely rare, with only 11 cases reported to date. We report a case of isolated splenic metastasis in a woman 8 months after lobectomy for an adenocarcinoma in the right lung completely resected. After 8 years of follow-up, the patient is still alive with no evidence of metastatic recurrence.

A traqueostomia percutânea tem substituído a traqueostomia convencional em muitas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva, devido à facilidade e segurança do método realizado à beira do leito, dispensando o transporte do paciente da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva para o Centro Cirúrgico. Alguns autores sugerem que a dissecção limitada resulta em menor dano tecidual, diminui o risco de sangramento e infecção de ferida operatória. Esta revisão visa analisar e sintetizar estudos prospectivos e randomizados, revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises, comparando a traqueostomia percutânea e traqueostomia convencional em pacientes adultos em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva.
OBJECTIVES: The percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy has become the technique of choice in the Intensive Care Unit, due safety and facilities to be performed at bedside, wich may overcome the risks associated with transport of critically ill patients to the Operating Room. Proponents of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy suggest that the limited dissection results in less tissue damage, lowers the risk of bleeding and wound infection. The aim of this study is to review the techniques of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy through a critical analysis of it's indications, contra-indications and complications, as well to compare percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy to surgical tracheostomy. This manuscript analysis and synthesizes randomized prospective studies, meta-analysis and systematic reviews, comparing both techniques in adult critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit.

We describe a rare case of primary pleural synovial sarcoma in a 27-year-old man with a 4-month history of dry cough and left-sided chest pain. A CT scan showed a large cystic mass in the left pleural cavity. The patient underwent two video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsies and the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma of the pleura was established. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which resulted in a partial response, the tumor was completely resected with extrapleural pneumonectomy. Pathological findings showed less than 5% of viable cancer and free surgical margins. The patient is clinically well 24 months after surgery, with no evidence of recurrent disease.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The antibacterial effect of ozone (O(3)) has been described in the extant literature, but the role of O(3) therapy in the treatment of certain types of infection remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of intraperitoneal (i.p.) O(3) application in a cecal ligation/puncture rat model on interleukins (IL-6, IL-10) and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1 serum levels, acute lung injury and survival rates. METHODS: FOUR ANIMAL GROUPS WERE USED FOR THE STUDY: a) the SHAM group underwent laparotomy; b) the cecal ligation/puncture group underwent cecal ligation/puncture procedures; and c) the CLP+O(2) and CLP+O(3) groups underwent CLP+ corresponding gas mixture infusions (i.p.) throughout the observation period. IL-6, CINC-1 and IL-10 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Acute lung injury was evaluated with the Evans blue dye lung leakage method and by lung histology. P<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: CINC-1 was at the lowest level in the SHAM group and was lower for the CLP+O(3) group vs. the CLP+O(2) group and the cecal ligation/puncture group. IL-10 was lower for the SHAM group vs. the other three groups, which were similar compared to each other. IL-6 was lower for the SHAM group vs. all other groups, was lower for the CLP+O(3) or CLP+O(2) group vs. the cecal ligation/puncture group, and was similar for the CLP+O(3) group vs. the CLP+O(2) group. The lung histology score was lower for the SHAM group vs. the other groups. The Evans blue dye result was lower for the CLP+O(3) group vs. the CLP+O(2) group and the cecal ligation/puncture group but similar to that of the SHAM group. The survival rate for the CLP+O(3) group was lower than for the SHAM group and similar to that for the other 2 groups (CLP and CLP+O(2)). CONCLUSION: Ozone therapy modulated the inflammatory response and acute lung injury in the cecal ligation/puncture infection model in rats, although there was no improvement on survival rates.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine clinical, pathological, and treatment-relevant variables associated with long-term (90-month) overall survival in patients with lung metastases undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of patients who were admitted with lung metastases, and who underwent thoracotomy for resection, after treatment of a primary tumor. Data were collected regarding demographics, tumor features, treatment, and outcome. RESULTS: Patients (n = 529) were submitted to a total of 776 thoracotomies. Median follow-up time across all patients was 21.6 months (range: 0-192 months). The postoperative complication rate was 9.3%, and the 30-day mortality rate was 0.2%. The ninety-month overall survival rate for all patients was 30.4%. Multivariate analysis identified the number of pulmonary nodules detected on preoperative CT-scan, the number of malignant nodules resected, and complete resection as the independent prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSION: These results confirm that lung metastasectomy is a safe and potentially curative procedure for patients with treated primary tumors. A select group of patients can achieve long-term survival after resection.

BACKGROUND: Many bariatric endoscopic or surgical procedures performed today reduce gastric capacity and/or induce an early sensation of gastric satiety, alone or in combination with a distal enteric intervention. A form of prosthetic wrap of the folded stomach was used in the past for treating obesity with a high rate of prosthesis-related reintervention. Nissen gastric fundoplication used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease induces a small but significant weight loss without gastric stapling, partitioning, or prosthesis-related morbidity. We recently reported greater gastric curvature invagination without stapling, partitioning or prosthesis use, for weight loss in rats. We now compare anterior gastric wall and greater gastric curvature invaginations for weight loss. The anterior invagination would be technically easier, should it be tested in humans. METHODS: 20 rats were randomized in 2 groups. The anterior gastric wall of 10 rats was invaginated in the first group (AGW). The greater gastric curvature of 10 rats was invaginated in the second group (GGC). All animals were weighed weekly for 4 weeks. They were then autopsied on the 28th day. RESULTS: The mean body weight of the GGC group became statistically less than the AGW group at 21 days. The mean weight of the peritesticular fat pad and the mean gastric volume were not statistically different at 28 days (autopsy). CONCLUSION: Greater gastric curvature invagination significantly reduces body weight compared to anterior gastric wall invagination at 21 days.

Mortality from acute selective portal vein occlusion (SPVO) is a matter of concern for surgeons during the management of traumatic portal vein injury. However, mortality rates related to different periods of SPVO remains undetermined. PURPOSE: To determine the mortality rates resulting from different periods of acute SPVO in rats. METHODS: Wistar male rats were randomized into 8 experimental, and 8 control groups. Experimental animals underwent SPVO during 15 to 75 minutes, and control groups underwent sham procedures. All surviving animals were followed up to 14 days for assessment of mortality rate. RESULTS: Death rates varied from 0 percent in the 15 min SPVO group, to 100 percent with 65 and 75 minutes of SPVO. A strongly positive correlation was observed between mortality rates and SPVO periods (p 30 min) of SPVO.
A mortalidade da oclusão seletiva da veia porta (OSVP) preocupa os cirurgiões durante o tratamento de lesão traumática da veia porta. Entretanto, as taxas de mortalidade decorrentes de diferentes períodos de OSVP não estão determinadas. OBJETIVO: Determinar a mortalidade Decorrente de diferentes períodos de oclusão seletiva da veia porta (OSVP) em ratos. MÉTODOS: Ratos Wistar machos foram randomizados em 8 grupos experimentais e 8 controles. Os experimentais foram submetidos a OSVP por períodos de 15 a 75 minutos, seguidos de observação até o óbito, e os sobreviventes até 14 dias. Os grupos controles receberam idênticos procedimentos, exceto a OSVP. RESULTADOS: A mortalidade, a partir do momento da oclusão, aumentou progressivamente, de 0 por cento no grupo de 15min, atingindo 100 por cento nos grupos de 65min e 75min de OSVP. Houve alta correlação positiva entre mortalidade e duração da OSVP (p 30 minutos).
