1. Post-radiation xerostomia therapy with allogeneic mesenchymal stromal stem cells in patients with head and neck cancer : study protocol for phase I clinical trialPrimož Strojan, Gaber Plavc, Marko Kokalj, Goran Mitrović, Olga Blatnik, Luka Ležaič, Aljaž Sočan, Aljoša Bavec, Nataša Tešić, Katrina Pretnar-Hartman, Urban Švajger, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Background: Xerostomia is a common side effect of radiotherapy in patients with head and neck tumors that negatively affects quality of life. There is no known effective standard treatment for xerostomia. Here, we present the study protocol used to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of allogeneic mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue. Methods: Ten oropharyngeal cancer patients with post-radiation xerostomia and no evidence of disease recurrence 2 or more years after (chemo)irradiation (intervention group) and 10 healthy volunteers (control group) will be enrolled in this nonrandomized, open-label, phase I exploratory study. MSCs from umbilical cord tissue will be inserted under ultrasound guidance into both parotid glands and both submandibular glands of the patients. Toxicity of the procedure will be assessed according to CTCAE v5.0 criteria at days 0, 1, 5, 28, and 120. Efficacy will be assessed by measuring salivary flow and analyzing its composition, scintigraphic evaluation of MSC grafting, retention, and migration, and questionnaires measuring subjective xerostomia and quality of life. In addition, the radiological, functional, and morphological characteristics of the salivary tissue will be assessed before, at 4 weeks, and at 4 months after the procedure. In the control group subjects, only salivary flow rate and salivary composition will be determined. Discussion: The use of allogeneic MSCs from umbilical cord tissue represents an innovative approach for the treatment of xerostomia after radiation. Due to the noninvasive collection procedure, flexibility of cryobanking, and biological advantages, xerostomia therapy using allogeneic MSCs from umbilical cord tissue may have an advantage over other similar therapies.

2. Patohistološki izvid - kožni melanom, BCC, SCC, karcinom Merklovih celicOlga Blatnik, 2023, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Ker sta prognoza in obravnava bolnika odvisni od dejavnikov primarnega tumorja in statusa varovalnih bezgavk, mora patolog v izvidu korektno in razumljivo podati potrebne informacije. S standardizacijo izvidov dosežemo, da ti vsebujejo vse potrebne podatke, so bolj pregledni in primerljivi med seboj. Z dosledno uporabo standardiziranega izvida postane manj verjetno, da bi patolog katero od informacij izpustil. Standardizirani izvidi v digitalni obliki olajšajo retrospektivno iskanje podatkov, kar je pomembno za potrebe registrov bolezni in raziskovalno delo. Predpogoj za podajanje podatkov v obliki standardiziranega patohistološkega izvida so ustrezna makroskopska obdelava tkivnega vzorca, pravilna izdelava preparatov v laboratoriju, točni podatki o pacientu in klinični podatki, ki so pogosto ključni za pravilno interpretacijo patohistoloških najdb.
