Background:
Ceftazidime/avibactam (C/A), ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), imipenem/relebactam (I/R), and meropenem/vaborbactam (M/V) combine either a cephalosporin (C/T and C/A) or a carbapenem antibiotic (M/V and I/R) with a β-lactamase inhibitor. They are used to treat carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and/or multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA).
Objective:We compared the pooled clinical success of these medications to older therapies.
Methods:PubMed and EMBASE were searched from January 1, 2012, through September 2, 2020, for C/A, C/T, I/R, and M/V studies. The main outcome was clinical success, which was assessed using random-effects models. Stratified analyses were conducted for study drug, sample size, quality, infection source, study design, and multidrug-resistant gram-negative organism (MDRGNO) population. Microbiological success and 28- and 30-day mortality were assessed as secondary outcomes. Heterogeneity was determined using I2 values.
Results:Overall, 25 articles met the inclusion criteria; 8 observational studies and 17 randomized control trials. We detected no difference in clinical success comparing new combination antibiotics with standard therapies for all included organisms (pooled OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.96–1.51). We detected a moderate level of heterogeneity among the included studies I2 = 56%. Studies that focused on patients with CRE or MDRPA infections demonstrated a strong association between treatment with new combination antibiotics and clinical success (pooled OR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.60–3.57).
Conclusions:C/T, C/A, I/R, and M/V are not inferior to standard therapies for treating various complicated infections, but they may have greater clinical success for treating MDRPA and CRE infections. More studies that evaluate the use of these antibiotics for drug-resistant infections are needed to determine their effectiveness.

Background: Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) and ceftazidime-avibactam (C/A) are new β-lactam/β-lactamase combination antibiotics that were approved by the FDA in 2014 and 2015, respectively, to treat complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections. They are commonly used to treat multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections at any site. Both medications are also often used as salvage therapy when empiric therapy has failed or when the infectious organism tests resistant to all other available antibiotics. The purpose of this review is to present the clinical experience and reported clinical success rates of C/T and C/A. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched from January 1, 2013, through October 1, 2019, for publications detailing clinical experience with C/T and C/A in patients with CRE and MDRPA infections. Included study designs were extended cases series and clinical observational studies. Information on infection type, bacterial agent, salvage therapy uses, clinical success, and resistance development during treatment were abstracted. Meta-regression analysis was used to determine the pooled effectiveness of C/T and C/A among included studies. Results: The literature search returned 1,645 publications. After exclusion criteria were applied, 16 publications representing 769 patients were retained. The study population was mostly male (pooled average, 62%). The major comorbidities represented in the pooled population were solid organ transplantation (20.0%), kidney disease (19.5%), cardiovascular disease (15.3%), and diabetes (15.3%). Pneumonia was the predominant infection type (41.4%) and MDRPA was the pathogen most frequently evaluated (57.7%). The pooled clinical success rate was 70.2% (95% CI, 64.5%–75.3%). Also, 10 studies explicitly evaluated C/A or C/T as salvage therapy. The pooled clinical success rate for salvage therapy studies was 75.2% (95% CI, 69.7%–80.0%). Development of resistance to C/T or C/A during or after treatment was reported for 2.0% of the population. Conclusion: Overall, these medications have a high clinical success rate in patients with severe and complicated infections and limited treatment options. Pooled clinical success rates were high (70.2%) and the medications were particularly effective as salvage therapy. Resistance rates were low, although this could have been biased by the small percentage of studies that reported on this outcome. More longitudinal studies comparing the effectiveness of C/T and C/A against other antibiotic regimens are needed.

INTRODUCTION: Gangliogliomas (GGs) are neuroepithelial tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) composed of mature ganglion cells or a mixed population of ganglion and glial cells. Microarray data of low grade gliomas (LGG) including GGs revealed overexpression of the Dlx2 gene, a homeobox gene essential for interneuron migration and differentiation. We hypothesized that GGs are arrested in development, and began to explore the role of the Dlx2 gene. BRAF rearrangements and BRAF V600E point mutations have been reported in pediatric LGG. METHODS: DLX2 expression was examined in GGs using immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) labelling of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, along with staining of glial and neuronal markers. BRAF mutations were detected using a commercial antibody and/or sequence verification of the DNA extracted from the FFPE blocks. RESULTS: In the Discovery cohort 10/30 were DLX2+ (33.3%) and in the Validation cohort 15/40 were DLX2+ (37.5%). Of these 15 cases, 15 were GFAP+ (100%), 15 were synaptophysin and/or NeuN+ (100%), and 13 were OLIG2+ (86.7%); 6 had a BRAF V600E mutation (40.0%). For the Validation cohort of 40 GGs, 28 were OLIG2+ (70.0%); 13/28 co-expressed DLX2 (46.4%). 18/40 cases had a BRAF V600 mutation(17 V600E, 1 V600G; 45.0%) and 6/18 were DLX2+ (33.3%). CONCLUSIONS: DLX2 is expressed in GGs in both neuronal and glial marker expressing tumour cells. Our results support that GGs arise from CNS progenitors arrested at the neuronal-glial cell fate “decision” point.

BACKGROUND: IGTS is a rare phenomenon of paradoxical germ cell tumor (GCT) growth during or following treatment despite normalization of tumor markers. We sought to evaluate the frequency, clinical characteristics and outcome of IGTS in patients in 21 North-American and Australian institutions. METHODS: Patients with IGTS diagnosed from 2000-2017 were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: Out of 739 GCT diagnoses, IGTS was identified in 33 patients (4.5%). IGTS occurred in 9/191 (4.7%) mixed-malignant GCTs, 4/22 (18.2%) immature teratomas (ITs), 3/472 (0.6%) germinomas/germinomas with mature teratoma, and in 17 secreting non-biopsied tumours. Median age at GCT diagnosis was 10.9 years (range 1.8-19.4). Male gender (84%) and pineal location (88%) predominated. Of 27 patients with elevated markers, median serum AFP and Beta-HCG were 70 ng/mL (range 9.2-932) and 44 IU/L (range 4.2-493), respectively. IGTS occurred at a median time of 2 months (range 0.5-32) from diagnosis, during chemotherapy in 85%, radiation in 3%, and after treatment completion in 12%. Surgical resection was attempted in all, leading to gross total resection in 76%. Most patients (79%) resumed GCT chemotherapy/radiation after surgery. At a median follow-up of 5.3 years (range 0.3-12), all but 2 patients are alive (1 succumbed to progressive disease, 1 to malignant transformation of GCT). CONCLUSION: IGTS occurred in less than 5% of patients with GCT and most commonly after initiation of chemotherapy. IGTS was more common in patients with IT-only on biopsy than with mixed-malignant GCT. Surgical resection is a principal treatment modality. Survival outcomes for patients who developed IGTS are favourable.

Objective:
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system. Its pathogenesis remains unknown. Like glioblastomas, AT/RTs contain brain cancer stem cells (CSCs) that suppress the immunity of patients and are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Considerable infiltration of immune cells, including macrophages/microglia, dendritic cells and T-cells, has been noted in glioblastomas, which correlates with poor prognosis. The present study examines the significance of infiltrating immune cells in four cases of AT/RT; including one associated with an autoimmune disease, Henoch-Schonlein purpura.
Methods:Tumor tissues from four patients with AT/RT were analyzed and compared with those from four patients with glioblastomas. The frequency of immune cells, including CD68+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells, was assessed by scoring for statistical analysis.
Results:The infiltration of immune cells was identified in the case of AT/RT associated with HSP and three other cases of infratentorial AT/RTs. Moderate infiltration of CD68+ macrophages/microglia and CD4+ cells was noted in AT/RTs with no significant difference from that in glioblastomas (p > 0.05). However, the infiltration of CD8+ T-cells was significantly higher in AT/RTs than that in glioblastomas (p < 0.05); CD4+/CD8+ ratio was significantly lower in AT/RTs than that in glioblastomas (p < 0.05). In addition, eosinophils were found in all AT/RTs, but not in glioblastomas.
Conclusions:These findings suggest an immune microenvironment of AT/RTs with more immune effectors than glioblastomas. Our observation contributes to understanding the growth environment of AT/RTs for which adjuvant immunotherapy may be potentially beneficial.

Objective
Eosinophils may affect each stage of tumour development. Many studies have suggested that tumour-associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) is associated with favourable prognosis in some malignant tumours. However, only a few studies exist on TATE in central nervous system (CNS) tumours. Our recent study exhibited eosinophils in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (AT/RTs), pediatric malignant CNS tumours with divergent differentiation. This study examines eosinophils in pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs).
MethodsThe study included 44 consecutive cases of patients with PAs and no concurrent CNS inflammatory disease.
ResultsWe found eosinophils in 19 (43%) of 44 PAs (patient age range, 0.5-72 years). Eosinophils were intratumoural and clearly distinguishable. The density of eosinophils was rare to focally scattered. PAs containing eosinophils were located throughout the CNS. Furthermore, eosinophilic infiltration was identified in 18 (62%) of 29 pediatric (age range, 0.5-18 years) PAs but only 1 (7%) of 15 (p<0.001, significantly less) adult (age range, 20-72 years) PAs. Eosinophilic infiltration showed no significant differences between PAs with and without MRI cystic formation, surgical procedures, or PAs with and without leptomeningeal infiltration. In comparison, eosinophils were absent in 10 pediatric (age range, 0.5-15 years) ependymomas (or anaplastic ependymomas).
ConclusionsThese results suggest that eosinophils are common in pediatric PAs but rare in adult PAs. This difference is probably related to the developing immune system and different tumour-specific antigens in children. TATE may play a functional role in the development of pediatric PAs, as well as some other pediatric CNS tumours such as AT/RTs.

This paper questions the assumption that children's social and emotional competence be placed within the developing child, rather than in the interaction of the child with the range of peer social ecologies in which the children might function. This paper presents a new nonstatistical mathematical approach to modeling children's peer social interaction in small groups using nonlinear difference equations in which both an uninfluenced and an influenced regulatory set point of positive minus negative interaction can be separately estimated. Using this model and the estimation procedure, it is possible to estimate what a focal child and the group initially brings to the group interaction and also how these regulatory set points are influenced by the interaction to determine two influenced regulatory set points. Six-person mainstreamed and specialized groups were established involving three types of unacquainted preschool boys: children with and without developmental delays and a language disordered but intellectually normally functioning group, using a methodology that ensured appropriate matching of child and family characteristics. For each 2-week play group, the social interactions of each child were observed during a designated free play period. Handicapped children were observed in either a specialized or mainstreamed setting. The application made of this modeling process in this paper is generating theory to attempt to understand influence processes. Parameters are introduced that reflect uninfluenced target child and group set points, emotional inertia, and influence functions.

This study evaluated the role of attentional shifting in children's prosocial behavior with peers. Participants were 27 aggressive/rejected and 27 nonaggressive/popular kindergarten and first grade boys and girls. Children's ability to shift attention from one affective state to another was assessed during: (a) a computerized task that required shifting attention between different affective events (i.e., the Children's Attentional Shifting Task, CAST) and (b) an analogue entry task with unacquainted peers. Children's latency for sharing with peers was assessed after they experienced failure during the entry task. Aggressive/rejected children had significant difficulty shifting attention from negative to positive affect during the CAST and were slower to share after experiencing entry failure. In general, aggressive/rejected children were less able to regulate their behavior effectively after experiencing social failure. Girls, regardless of status, had less difficulty than boys shifting attention from one affective state to another during the CAST. In addition, children's social status/aggressiveness, their ability to regulate emotional behavior after social failure and to shift attention effectively on the CAST predicted approximately 31% of the variance in their latency to share. These findings suggest that the ability to shift attention between different affective states plays a significant role in children's prosocial behavior with peers.
