    001). Ozanimod cell line The mean number of AGM decreased significantly (P<0.001), and there was no change in mean visual acuity (P > 0.04 with Bonferroni correction). The cumulative survival probability of AGV was 92.9% ± 4.9% at 1 year and 81.3% ± 11.7% at 5 years. The AGV success wascomparable between PK and DSEK eyes (P= 0.73). The cumulative probability of graft survival was 96.2%±3.8% at 1 year and 77.8% ± 9.1% at 5 years. The graft survival was also comparable between PK and DSEK eyes (P= 0.18). One eye needed tube trimming; none had tube or implant exposure. The major complication noted was corneal graft infection in 8 eyes (28.5%).

    In this cohort, the long-term AGV success and graft survival outcomes are satisfactory considering that AGV was performed in complex eyes with keratoplasty.

    Hysterectomy is the most common procedure in women. We wanted to make an assessment of the hysterectomy in France in 2019. We also assessed the variations over time in the indications and the surgical approch for hysterectomy, this with regard to the various events that may have been at the origin of the modification practices.

    We used the Medical Information Systems Program in Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Dentistry to extract all acts relating to a hysterectomy regardless of its route of approach from 2009 to 2019.

    Hysterectomy is a frequent procedure which was performed in nearly 60,000 women in France in 2019. The most frequently used surgical approach is now laparoscopy, performed in 30% of hysterectomies, followed by laparotomic (29%), then vaginal approaches (26%) and coelio-vaginal (15%). Laparoscopic procedures are performed more often in public than private hospitals. Adnexectomy is associated with 41% of hysterectomies. A decrease in the number of hysterectomies was observed between 2008 and 2019, from approximately 72,000 in 2008 to approximately 60,000 in 2019. This decrease occurs during a period in which new therapies have emerged as well as new recommendations.

    The evolution of the number of hysterectomies is correlated with the development of therapeutic alternatives for pathologies for which a hysterectomy has traditionally been performed.

However, 30 years after the discovery of this virus in 1989, nearly perfect antiviral drugs that can clear up to 95% of this virus have been developed due to numerous biomedical research studies and cooperation among members of the hepatitis C community. Because of these advances, the WHO announced a goal to eliminate the hepatitis C virus globally by 2030. Reviewing prior advances in detail, it is clear that all these achievements are based on initial seminal research conducted by the three 2020 Nobel laureates in medicine, namely, Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice. In this short essay, we describe the seminal studies conducted by these authors. At the same time, the impacts of the contributions of these researchers on subsequent developments in research and in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C are honored.Molecular genetic pathology (MGP) is a subspecialty of pathology and medical genetics and genomics. Genomic testing, which we define as that which generates large data sets and interrogates large segments of the genome in a single assay, is increasingly recognized as essential for optimal patient care through precision medicine. The most common genomic testing technologies in clinical laboratories are next-generation sequencing and microarray. It is essential to train in these methods and to consider the data generated in the context of the diagnosis, medical history, and other clinical findings of individual patients. Accordingly, updating the MGP fellowship curriculum to include genomics is timely, important, and challenging. At the completion of training, an MGP fellow should be capable of independently interpreting and signing out results of a wide range of genomic assays and, given the appropriate context and institutional support, of developing and validating new assays in compliance with applicable regulations. The Genomics Task Force of the MGP Program Directors, a working group of the Association for Molecular Pathology Training and Education Committee, has developed a genomics curriculum framework and recommendations specific to the MGP fellowship. These recommendations are presented for consideration and implementation by MGP fellowship programs with the understanding that MGP programs exist in a diversity of clinical practice environments with a spectrum of available resources.

    Epigenetic regulation of gene expression plays a critical role in the development of liver cancer; however, the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic-driven liver cancers are not well understood. The aims of this study were to examine molecular mechanisms that cause the dedifferentiation of hepatocytes into cancer cells in aggressive hepatoblastoma and test if the inhibition of these mechanisms inhibits tumor growth.

    We have analyzed C/EBPα, Sp5, and histone deacetylase (HDAC)1 pathways from a large biobank of fresh hepatoblastoma (HBL) samples using high-pressure liquid chromatography-based examination of protein-protein complexes and have examined chromatin remodeling on the promoters of markers of hepatocytes and p21. The HDAC1 activity was inhibited in patient-derived xenograft models of HBL and in cultured hepatoblastoma cells and expression of HDAC1-dependent markers of hepatocytes was examined.

    Analyses of a biobank showed that a significant portion of HBL patients have increased levels of an oncoge for the development of HBL, providing background for generation of therapies for aggressive HBL by targeting HDAC1 activities.
