Objects:
This study hypothesized that biopsy Gleason score 8 (b.G.S. 8) disease may dilute the substantial poor risk associated with b.G.S. 9 disease, specifically associated with primary Gleason 5 disease.
Materials And Methods:
The study reviewed 18,299 patients treated with radical prostatectomy (R.P.) between 1990 and 2011, and identified 1,080 men with b.G.S. 4 + 4 (n = 614, 56.9%), 4 + 5 (n = 347, 32.1%), and 5 + 4 (n = 119, 11%) P.Ca. Variation trends of high risk prostate cancer (H.R.P.Ca.) characteristics were recorded over time: The association of b.G.S. with survival outcomes was assessed using Kaplan Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Median follow-up was 6.1 years (I.Q.R. = 3-10.8).
Results:
The number of patients included in H.R.P.Ca. due to their b.G.S. increased consistently over time. On multivariable regression, b.G.S. 4 + 5 and b.G.S. 5 + 4 vs b.G.S. 4 + 4 were found to be independently associated with seminal vesical involvement (Odds ratio [O.R.] = 1.58 and 2.22; p < 0.005), extracapsular extension (O.R. = 1.51 and 1.7; p < 0.02) and surgical margins (O.R. = 1.50 and 2.03; p < 0.01), respectively. Ten-year cancer-specific survival was 83%, 73% and 70% in patients with b.G.S. 4 + 4, 4 + 5 and 5 + 4, respectively (p < 0.01). b.G.S. 4 + 5 and b.G.S. 5 + 4 compared to b.G.S. 4 + 4 were associated with an increased risk of cancer-specific mortality (C.S.M.) (Hazard ratio = 1.76, p = 0.02 and 2.38, p = 0.003, respectively).
Conclusions:
B.G.S. 9 and specifically pattern 5 + 4 P.Ca. is associated with substantial disease burden, adverse pathological features and the presence of locally advanced disease, in addition to inferior survival outcomes in comparison to b.G.S. 4 + 4 disease. Distinction of b.G.S. 9 patients from b.G.S. 8 patients at diagnosis may permit more precise pre-treatment risk stratification.

01:20Amides to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
Amide reduction requires two equivalents of the reducing agent, acting as a source of hydride ions. As shown in the figure, the reaction is initiated with a nucleophilic attack by the hydride ion at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate.

As shown below, the mechanism involves three steps. Firstly, the hydride ion acting as a nucleophile attacks the nitrile carbon to form an anion. In the second step, a second equivalent of the hydride ion attacks the anion to...
01:19Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
