0874), after excluding dispenses during the year before ALS diagnosis. The results were similar after excluding dispenses during the 2 or 3 years before ALS diagnosis.The present study report for the first time on the one-pot production and purification of fibrinolytic protease from Bacillus cereus by extractive fermentation using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). Cheese whey was chosen as a sustainable low-cost production alternative yielding a significantly high amount of protease (185.7 U/mg). Five natural deep eutectic solvents with menthol as hydrogen bond donor and sugar molecules as corresponding hydrogen bond acceptors were synthesized and their association was confirmed with H1 NMR. Thermophysical investigation of the synthetic NADES was accomplished as a function of temperature to define their extraction ability. Response surface methodology based optimization of concentration of NADES (77.5% w/w), Na2SO4 (14% w/v) and cheese whey (1% w/w) were accomplished for extractive fermentation. Further, preparative purification using size exclusion chromatography was used to quantify the amount of enzyme obtained in the extraction phase (190 U/ml). On subsequent purification with an anion exchange column, the maximum purity fold (21.2) with enzyme activity (2,607.8 U/ml) was attained. The optimal pH (8.0), temperature (50 °C) were determined and the in-vitro fibrinolytic activity has been confirmed using a fibrin plate assay.Computed tomography imaging plays a major role in the preoperative assessment of tumor burden by providing an accurate mapping of the distribution of peritoneal metastases (PM). Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography (SPCCT) is an innovative imaging modality that could overcome the current limitations of conventional CT, offering not only better spatial resolution but also better contrast resolution by allowing the discrimination of multiple contrast agents. Based on this capability, we tested the feasibility of SPCCT in the detection of PM at different time of tumor growth in 16 rats inoculated with CC531 cells using dual-contrast injection protocols in two compartments (i.e. intravenous iodine and intraperitoneal gadolinium or the reverse protocol), compared to surgery. For all peritoneal regions and for both protocols, sensitivity was 69%, specificity was 100% and accuracy was 80%, and the correlation with surgical exploration was strong (p = 0.97; p = 0.0001). No significant difference was found in terms of diagnostic performance, quality of peritoneal opacification or diagnostic quality between the 2 injection protocols. Rapamycin datasheet We also showed poor vascularization of peritoneal metastases by measuring low concentrations of contrast agent in the largest lesions using SPCCT, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical analyses. In conclusion, SPCCT using dual-contrast agent injection protocols in 2 compartments is a promising imaging modality to assess the extent of PM in a rat model.Biphasic squamoid alveolar papillary renal cell carcinoma (BSA-PRCC) is a recently studied lesion considered a morphologic variant of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC), more closely related to type 1. Considering the role of proto-oncogene MET in both sporadic type 1 papillary RCC and hereditary papillary RCC, we aimed to explore the role of MET activation in the oncogenesis of BSA-PRCC. We identified 17 patients with either unique (n = 14) or multiple (n = 3) BSA-PRCC, all localized, and performed an integrative analysis of MET status in 18 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumors combining next-generation sequencing analysis, fluorescent in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Trisomy 7 was found in 86% of tumors (14/16) without MET amplification at 7q31 (15/15). A pathogenic MET genetic variant was identified in 60% (9/15) of cases, at the germline level in 57% (4/7) of tested patients or at the somatic level (5/11). MET expression was observed in all tumors with a higher value of co
