The Relationship Of St6gal1 With Clinicopathological And Prognostic Factors In Breast Carcinomas, Ethem Ömeroğlu, Abdülhalim Serden Ay, Tuğba Günler, İlknur Küçükosmanoğlu, Sümeyye Kozacıoğlu
Saudi Medical Journal
Objectives: To investigate the association of β-galactoside α2-6 sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GAL1) expression with hormone receptor (HR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and other clinicopathological parameters, including histological grade, stage, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and survival in breast carcinomas (BCs). Methods: This study included 85 patients who had undergone surgery for breast cancer (BC). The associations of HR, HER2 status, and histopathologic tumor characteristics with immunohistochemical expression of ST6GAL1 were analyzed. Results: The majority (48 [56.5%]) of patients were in the T2 stage, and no association was seen between staging and ST6GAL1 ( p <0.05). Further, 44 (54.2%) patients were HR positive, and most of them exhibited high ST6GAL1 levels ( p =0.001), whereas 44 (51.8%) were HER2 negative, and most of them demonstrated low ST6GAL1 levels ( p =0.007). Ki-67 of ≥20% was observed in 55 (64.7%) and <20% in 30 (35.3%) patients. Most of those with high Ki-67 demonstrated low-grade STLGAL1 expression; however, no correlation was detected between the two values ( p =0.378). High and low ST6GAL1 expressions were observed in 39 (45.9%) and 46 (54.1%) cases, respectively. Conclusion: This research is one of the first studies to use ST6GAL1 in preoperative biopsies of patients not scheduled for neoadjuvant treatment. This study revealed highly significant associations of ST6GAL1 expression with HR, HER2, and molecular subtyping. Future studies are recommended to clarify the possible role of ST6GAL1 in resistance to HR and HER2-targeted and other chemotherapeutic agents in BCs.

Saudi Medical Journal
ABSTRACT Objectives: To classify serous effusions using the ISRSFC and assess malignancy risk across diagnostic categories, considering patient demographics and clinical features. Serous fluid cytopathology is a minimally invasive, cost-effective method for diagnosing benign and malignant conditions. The International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (ISRSFC) standardizes reporting, yet data from Saudi Arabia are limited. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted from October 2023 to June 2024. Serous fluid samples (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial) were stained with the Papanicolaou method and evaluated microscopically. Results: Among 153 effusions, peritoneal (60.7%) was most common. Patients aged 41–66 comprised the largest group (41.2%). …

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the association between Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis included patients with and without IBD seen at the outpatient gastroenterology clinic of a large tertiary care hospital between January 2015 and October 2022. The primary outcome was the association between IBD and IHD, and the secondary outcome was predictors of IHD in patients with IBD. Results: The study included 400 patients; 291 were IBD patients, and 109 had other non-inflammatory GI disorders. The IBD group displayed significantly lower rates of hyperlipidemia (8.6% vs. 30.3%, p <0.001), diabetes mellitus (DM) (10% vs. 24.8%, p <0.001), and hypertension (11.7% vs. 32.1%, p <0.001) compared to the non-IBD group. Only 2.7% (n=8) of IBD patients developed IHD. Logistic regression analysis did not demonstrate a significant association between IBD and IHD ( p =0.932). Among classical risk factors, only hypertension (OR: 26.2, 95% CI: 2.14–661, p =0.016) and hyperlipidemia (OR: 10.5, 95% CI: 1.32–132, p =0.0405) significantly increased the risk of developing IHD among patients with IBD. Conclusion: In this cohort, there is no increased risk of developing IHD in patients with IBD compared to non-IBD patients.
