Poor Treatment Response

Hopelessness is an important symptom of adolescent depression, being associated with both risk of suicide and poor treatment response, but predictors of hopelessness are understudied. Conflict with parents is common in adolescent depression, but parents and adolescents often disagree when reporting conflict severity. Discrepancy in reporting may be an indicator of the parent–adolescent dyad lacking a shared representation of the state of their relationship. This could make conflicts seem unresolvable to the adolescent, leading to expectations of persistent stress and lack of support, increasing hopelessness. This study employed latent difference scores, ordinal regression and cross-validation to evaluate the hypothesis that discrepancy in report of parent–adolescent conflict would predict hopelessness among depressed adolescents. Parents reporting less conflict than the adolescent was associated with increased adolescent hopelessness, giving preliminary support to the hypothesis.

Objective: This study was undertaken to investigate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit B (EIF3B) expression and its clinical value for indicating disease progression and prognosis in adult Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph− ALL) patients. Methods: Totally, 76 adult Ph− ALL patients and 30 healthy donors (HDs) were included. Bone marrow (BM) samples before therapy (baseline), after 4-week therapy of Ph− ALL patients and the BM samples of HDs were collected. Then, EIF3B expression in BM was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: EIF3B expression was increased in Ph− ALL patients compared with HDs, which distinguished Ph− ALL patients from HDs (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.928; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.882−0.974) by receiver operating characteristic curve. Furthermore, higher baseline EIF3B expression was associated with elevated white blood cell and bone marrow blasts, while it was associated with lower complete remission (CR) within 4 weeks and less allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant achievements in Ph− ALL patients. Additionally, higher baseline EIF3B expression was associated with decreased disease-free survival but not overall survival. However, it was associated with raised 1-year mortality and 3-year mortality in Ph− ALL patients. After 4-week therapy, EIF3B expression was reduced in total Ph− ALL patients. Notably, the reduction of EIF3B expression was more obvious in Ph− ALL patients who achieved CR within 4 weeks compared with Ph− ALL patients who did not achieve CR within 4 weeks. Conclusion: EIF3B overexpression is related to worsened clinical features, poor treatment response and survival in adult Ph− ALL patients.

123 Background: Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) is the most common head and neck cancer in Indonesia and mostly diagnosed at advanced stage. The patients with same stage of the disease have shown variety of responses against first line chemotherapy, suggesting other factors that could play a role in determining the treatment outcome. Meanwhile, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been studied to be a prognostic factor in many malignancies. Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between NLR and treatment response in advanced-stage NPC patients of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM) in 2015-2018. Methods: We evaluated the medical record of 45 advanced-stage NPC patients that visited RSCM in 2015-2018 retrospectively. The NLR was calculated using the neutrophil and lymphocyte count prior the first chemotherapy. We categorized NLR ≥ 4 as high. We categorized the treatment response by response (CR and PR) and non-response (SD and PD). Results: There were 45 patients included in this study. Demographic profile of the patients were dominated by male (80,0%) with mean age 45.58 (±14.5) years old. The mean of NLR was 7.396 (±5.182). We found 32 (71.1%) patients had high NLR (cut off > 4). Majority of patients with high NLR (71.9%) did not respond to first line treatment. The association between NLR and treatment response was statistically significant ( p = 0.048). Conclusions: We found that high NLR values are associated with poor treatment response in NPC patients. Keywords: Nasopharyngeal cancer, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, treatment response.
