Incidental heterotopic pregnancy demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging

We report a case of an assisted pregnancy in an asymptomatic woman who was found to have an extrauterine mass on ultrasound and MRI. This complex mass had equivocal imaging features and was found to be a ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy at surgery. This case illustrates that vigilance is required regarding the possibility of coexisting ectopic and intrauterine pregnancy following assisted conception, even in entirely asymptomatic cases.     

Selenium substituted axitinib reduces axitinib side effects and maintains its anti-renal tumor activity

Axitinib is a potent vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor, which has a strong inhibitory effect on the three isoforms of VEGFR 1–3. Having strong therapeutic efficacy, its broad use is limited by its side effects such as hypertension, proteinuria, cardiovascular damage, and liver and kidney dysfunction. Selenium compounds are broadly reported to have a good protective effect on cardiovascular disease, inflammation, infection, and immune function. In this study, a selenium substitute of axitinib was synthesized, and its anti-renal cell carcinoma activity and side effects were investigated. The results of the study indicated that Se-axitinib had potent antitumor activity on renal cell carcinoma (RCC), alleviated vascular hyperpermeability, and also alleviated axitinib-related side effects including hypertension, liver dysfunction and kidney dysfunction significantly. Therefore, we suggest that Se-axitinib could be a solution to the severe side effects of VEGFR inhibitors and provide evidence to improve the outcome of RCC treatment.

Se-axitinib is a selenium substitution of sulfur in axitinib, which reduced the side effect of VEGFR inhibitors and maintained the potent anticancer activity of the original drug.     

Acute appendicitis after colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection: a case report

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was originally described in 1973 and is currently a popular practice used in treating polyps, small adenomas, and early cancers. Although the safety of EMR has been proven in numerous studies, complications occur occasionally. We report a case in which the patient complained of severe upper abdominal pain and who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after colorectal EMR. The patient recovered well after surgery. Cautious observation is necessary when resuming oral intake in patients who undergo colorectal EMR and who complain of postoperative abdominal pain. Observation is especially important for patients with a fecalith that may have originally existed in the appendix or in the colon near the appendix.     

Repurposing povidone-iodine to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission: a narrative review

BackgroundAccumulating data suggest antiviral effects of povidone-iodine against the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. This narrative review aims to examine the antiviral mechanisms of povidone-iodine, efficacy of povidone-iodine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and safety of povidone-iodine to human epithelial cells and thyroid function.MethodsWe searched the electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and World Health Organization’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for articles containing the keywords “povidone-iodine”, “SARS-CoV-2” and “COVID-19” from database inception till 3 June 2021.ResultsDespite in vitro data supporting the anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects of povidone-iodine, findings from clinical studies revealed differences in treatment response depending on study settings (healthy vs. hospitalized individuals), treatment target (nasal vs. oral vs. pharynx), method of administration (oral rinse vs. gargle vs. throat spray) and choice of samples used to measure study endpoints (nasopharyngeal vs. saliva). One large-scale clinical trial demonstrated reduction in the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among participants who administered povidone-iodine 3 times daily during an active outbreak. Povidone-iodine is also used to disinfect the oro-pharyngeal space prior to dental or otolaryngology procedures. Although existing data suggest minimal impact of povidone-iodine on thyroid function, high-quality safety data are presently lacking.ConclusionsPovidone-iodine application to the oropharyngeal space could complement existing non-pharmacological interventions to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection especially in high exposure settings.

Key messages

• Accumulating data suggest antiviral effects of povidone-iodine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
• Findings from clinical studies reveal differences in treatment response depending on study settings, treatment target, method of administration and choice of samples used to measure study endpoints. One large-scale clinical trial observed reduction in the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among participants who administered povidone-iodine 3 times daily during an active outbreak.
• Povidone-iodine application to the oropharyngeal space could complement existing non-pharmacological interventions to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection especially in high exposure settings.

Isolated splenic metastasis of endometrial cancer 12 years after treatment: A case report and literature review

Rationale:The spleen is an uncommon metastatic organ for malignant solid tumors because of its special anatomy and microenvironment. Isolated splenic metastasis of endometrial cancer is an extremely rare clinical event, with only 17 cases reported in literature.Patient concerns:We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with abdominal distension and nausea for 7 months who had undergone surgery and chemotherapy for endometrioid adenocarcinoma 12 years previously. A space-occupying lesion in the upper pole of the spleen was observed on an abdominal ultrasound.Diagnosis:The spleen was resected, and splenic metastasis of endometrial adenocarcinoma was histologically confirmed.Interventions:Splenectomy was performed, and no lymph nodes or other metastases were observed. The patient received postoperative chemotherapy with 6 cycles of docetaxel and carboplatin.Outcomes:The patient recovered well 11 months postoperatively, with no evidence of recurrence or metastatic disease.Lesson:Since the time interval between the diagnosis of primary endometrial cancer and splenic metastasis may be very long, it may be necessary to monitor the recurrence of endometrial cancer after primary treatment.
