■ Paper- OBJECTIVES: Covered self-expandable metal stents are commonly used for unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction. Partially covered self-expandable metal stents have uncovered sections at both ends; however, their anti-migration effect remains unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate that effect by comparing such stents with fully covered self-expandable metal stents for patients with unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction. METHODS: This was a multicenter, retrospective comparative study of partially covered stents with fully covered stents for unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction. Stent migration, recurrent biliary obstruction, and the time to recurrent biliary obstruction were compared between them. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients with partially covered stents were included and compared with 42 patients with fully covered stents. The partially covered group had a significantly lower stent migration rate (3% vs. 36%; p < 0.001). The recurrent biliary obstruction rate was significantly lower in the partially covered group (21% vs. 43%; p = 0.036). The non-recurrent biliary obstruction rate at 6 months was 90% and 68% in the partially and fully covered groups, respectively. The time to recurrent biliary obstruction was significantly longer in the partially covered group (Gray's test, p = 0.016). Only partially covered stent placement was significantly associated with a lower risk of stent migration (subdistribution hazard ratio = 0.077; 95% confidence interval = 0.01-0.60; p = 0.014) in the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The anti-migration effect of partially covered self-expandable metal stents was associated with a reduced recurrence of biliary obstruction and prolonged time to such obstruction.Apr. 2025, DEN open, 5(1) (1), e70100, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Patients with esophageal motility disorders (EMDs) sometimes develop bacterial pneumonia (BP). However, factors associated with BP in patients with EMDs and whether peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) reduces BP development are unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to identify factors associated with BP development and evaluate the preventive potential of POEM in patients with EMDs. METHODS: This study included 623 patients diagnosed with EMDs at our institution between April 2015 and March 2023. Factors associated with BP were analyzed by comparing characteristics between patients who developed BP within 1 year before diagnosis using multivariable analysis. The potential of POEM to prevent BP development was assessed using Cox regression analysis, considering treatment status as a time-varying covariate. RESULTS: Of the 623 patients, 31 (5.0%) developed BP within 1 year before diagnosis. Older age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.59, p = 0.019; 10-year increments), lower body mass index (OR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.78-0.98, p = 0.026), and manometric diagnosis of spastic esophageal disorders (OR = 2.97, 95% CI 1.24-7.16, p = 0.015) were significantly associated with BP. Treatment status of POEM was proved to be a significant factor for developing BP using Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio = 0.17, 95% CI 0.039-0.75, p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors associated with BP in patients with EMDs were older age, lower body mass index, and manometric diagnosis of spastic esophageal disorders. POEM could decrease spasm-related bolus reflux, improve patients' nutritional status through resolution of transit disturbance, and reduce respiratory complications, suggesting that POEM could help prevent BP development.Mar. 2025, Journal of gastroenterology, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: EG-840TP is a novel small-caliber therapeutic endoscope with a large working channel. We aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy using EG-840TP compared to those using a conventional therapeutic endoscope (GIF-H290T). METHODS: Patients who underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia and non-achalasia esophageal motility disorders were enrolled between March 2021 and March 2023. Procedure times and other treatment outcomes were compared between patients treated with EG-840TP and GIF-H290T using propensity score matching analysis. In the subgroup analysis, patients were divided into subsets based on myotomy length, morphology, esophageal dilation, and operator skill, and the procedure time was compared between the matched groups. RESULTS: A total of 154 patients were enrolled in this study, and 39 patients treated using each type of scope were matched. The EG-840TP group tended to have a shorter procedure time than the GIF-H290T group. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of short-term clinical success or perioperative adverse events. In the subgroup analysis, the procedure time of the EG-840TP group was significantly shorter than that of the GIF-H290T group when patients had a straight esophagus (44 min vs. 54 min, p = 0.0015) and the operator was a non-expert (49 min vs. 64 min, p = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS: POEM using EG-840TP showed procedure time, clinical success, and adverse events equivalent to those of a conventional therapeutic endoscope. However, EG-840TP potentially contributed to a shorter procedure time in patients with a straight esophagus or in non-expert operators than GIF-H290T.Feb. 2025, Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: A serum biomarker for diagnosing ulcerative colitis (UC) remains to be established. Although we recently reported an anti-integrin αvβ6 antibody (V6 Ab) for diagnosing UC with high sensitivity and specificity, no large-scale validation study exists. This study aimed to validate the diagnostic value of V6 Ab for UC using a nationwide multicenter cohort study. METHODS: We measured V6 Ab titers in patients definitively diagnosed with UC, Crohn's disease (CD), or other gastrointestinal disorders (OGDs). The primary outcome was the diagnostic value of V6 Ab. Secondary outcomes were factors associated with false-negative results in patients with UC and false-positive results in patients without UC and the heterogeneity of the diagnostic value of V6 Ab among the participating facilities. RESULTS: We enrolled 1241, 796, and 206 patients with UC, CD, and OGD, respectively, from 28 Japanese high-volume referral centers. The diagnostic sensitivity of V6 Ab for UC was 87.7%, and its specificities for CD and OGDs were 82.0% and 87.4%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that false-negative results were associated with older age at the time of sample collection, current smokers, lower partial Mayo score, and not receiving advanced therapies in patients with UC, and false-positive results were associated with colonic CD in patients with CD. No factor was associated with false-positive results in patients with OGDs. There were no significant differences in the diagnostic value of V6 Ab among the centers. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic value of V6 Ab for UC was validated in the large-scale nationwide multicenter study.Jan. 2025, Journal of gastroenterology, 60(1) (1), 86 - 95, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Focal pancreatic parenchymal atrophy (FPPA) and upstream pancreatic atrophy (UPA) may indicate the presence of early pancreatic cancer. In early pancreatic cancer, the tumor occasionally spreads laterally along the main pancreatic duct, presenting challenges in determining the extent of surgical resection. This study aimed to investigate the association of pancreatic atrophy pattern and intraductal cancer extension. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer who underwent surgery at five participating centers were enrolled. Pancreatic atrophy was defined as the narrowing of parenchyma compared to the surrounding parenchyma and was classified as either FPPA (partial atrophy surrounding the pancreatic duct stenosis) or UPA (global atrophy caudal to the site of duct stenosis). Intraductal cancer extension was defined as an extension exceeding 10 mm. RESULTS: Preoperative computed tomography revealed FPPA, UPA, and no parenchymal atrophy in 13, 13, and 6 patients. Cases with FPPA or UPA showed significantly longer cancer extensions than those without atrophy (P = 0.005 and P = 0.03, respectively). Intraductal cancer extension was present in all but one case of FPPA. 69% (9/13) of the cases with UPA showed intraductal cancer extension, whereas cases without atrophy showed no intraductal cancer extension. Importantly, two patients with FPPA or UPA showed positive resection margins during surgery and three patients with FPPA or UPA showed recurrence in the remnant pancreas. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of FPPA and UPA indicates lateral cancer extension in early-stage pancreatic cancer. Preoperative assessment of the pancreatic parenchyma may provide valuable insights for determining the extent of surgical resection.Sep. 2024, Journal of gastroenterology, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- OBJECTIVES: Early identification of patients needing hospital-specific interventional care (HIC) following endoscopic treatment is valuable for optimizing postoperative hospital stays. We aimed to develop and validate a risk-scoring system for predicting HIC in patients who underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). METHODS: This study included patients with esophageal motility disorders who underwent POEM at our hospital between April 2015 and March 2023. HIC was defined as any of the following situations: fasting for gastrointestinal rest to manage adverse events (AEs); intravenous administration of medications such as antibiotics and blood transfusion; endoscopic, radiologic, and surgical interventions; intensive care unit management; or other life-threatening events. A risk-scoring system for predicting HIC after postoperative day (POD) 1 was developed using multivariable logistic regression and was internally validated using bootstrapping and decision curve analysis. RESULTS: Of the 589 patients, 50 (8.5%) experienced HIC after POD1. Risk scores were assigned for four factors as follows: age (0 points for <70 years, 1 point for 70-79 years, 2 points for ≥80 years), preoperative prognostic nutritional index (0 points for >45, 1 point for 40-45, 4 points for <40), postoperative surgical site AEs on second-look endoscopy (7 points), and postoperative pneumonia on chest radiography (6 points). The discriminative ability (concordance statistics, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.78-0.91) and calibration (slope 1.00; 0.74-1.28) were satisfactory. The decision curve analysis demonstrated its clinical usefulness. CONCLUSION: This risk-scoring system can predict the HIC after POD1 and provide useful information for determining discharge.Sep. 2024, Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Background Pancreatic duct (PD) disruption can occasionally be attributed to pancreatic cancer. Therapeutic interventions for PD disruption due to pancreatic cancer and their influence on pancreatic cancer prognosis remain unclear. This study investigated the therapeutic modalities and prognostic implications of PD disruption in pancreatic cancer. Methods This retrospective study included 15 patients with PD disruption concomitant with pancreatic cancer between April 2011 and March 2023. As an endoscopic intervention for PD disruption, endoscopic pancreatic stenting (EPS) or endoscopic ultrasonography-guided pancreatic fluid collection drainage (EUS-PFD) was performed. Technical success was defined as stent placement and clinical success was defined as an improvement in PD disruption. Results Of the 15 cases of PD disruption, two involved only pancreatic juice leakage without symptoms, four involved pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC) without infection, and nine involved PPC with infection. Four patients underwent EPS, nine underwent EUS-PFD, and two underwent lumen-apposing metal stent placement. All patients achieved both technical and clinical success without complications. The clinical stage of pancreatic cancer ranged from carcinoma in situ to the metastatic phase. For the treatment of pancreatic cancer, five patients underwent surgical resection, and eight underwent chemotherapy. There was no obvious recurrence of peritoneal sowing. The median overall survival from the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in the resected and non-resected cases was 74 and 9.6 months, respectively. Conclusion Endoscopic intervention was effective in all cases of PD disruption due to pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, even in cases of pancreatic cancer after PD disruption, survival rates were similar to those in cases without PD disruption and were achieved through surgical resection or chemotherapy.Aug. 2024, Cureus, 16(8) (8), e67482, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIM: Sorafenib and lenvatinib have long been used as a first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Along with the development of systemic chemotherapy for HCC, the concept of conversion hepatectomy has recently become widespread. The present study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of sorafenib and lenvatinib for HCC regarding the possibility of conversion hepatectomy in clinical practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 295 patients with advanced HCC receiving sorafenib and lenvatinib, accounting for 306 treatments (sorafenib, n=157; lenvatinib, n=149, 11 patients received lenvatinib after sorafenib treatment) at five different institutions were enrolled. Patients were assessed for their clinical characteristics and therapeutic response using both Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria (RECIST) and modified RECIST (mRECIST) criteria. Additionally, an indication of surgery after tyrosine kinase inhibitor administration was determined based on the tumor status of patients. RESULTS: The median survival times of patients treated with sorafenib and lenvatinib were 12.8 and 16.4 months, respectively, without significant difference (p=0.1645). The objective response rates (ORR) of sorafenib based on mRECIST and RECIST were 10.1% and 5.9%, respectively, and those of lenvatinib were 38.1% and 19.0%, respectively. Among the 306 treatments, two cases (sorafenib and lenvatinib, one each) underwent hepatectomy after systemic chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Few cases with unresectable HCC were amenable to conversion hepatectomy after sorafenib and lenvatinib treatments due to the limited ORR by RECIST. Cautious approach must be taken when administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy aimed at conversion hepatectomy.Jul. 2024, Anticancer research, 44(7) (7), 3097 - 3103, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: No specific biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced colitis has been established. Previously, we identified anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies in >90% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Given that a subset of ICI-induced colitis is similar to UC, we aimed to clarify the relationship between such autoantibodies and ICI-induced colitis. METHODS: Serum anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibody levels were compared between 26 patients with ICI-induced colitis and 157 controls. Endoscopic images of ICI-induced colitis were centrally reviewed. Characteristics of anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies in the ICI-induced colitis patients were compared with those of UC patients. RESULTS: Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies were found in 8/26 (30.8%) patients with ICI-induced colitis and 3/157 (1.9%) controls (P < 0.001). Patients with anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies had significantly more typical UC endoscopic features than those without the autoantibodies (P < 0.001). Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies in ICI-induced colitis patients were associated with grade ≥3 colitis (P = 0.001) and steroid resistance (P = 0.005). Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibody titers correlated with ICI-induced colitis disease activity. Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies of ICI-induced colitis exhibited similar characteristics to those of UC. CONCLUSIONS: Anti-integrin αvβ6 autoantibodies may serve as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis, classification, risk management, and monitoring the disease activity, of ICI-induced colitis.May 2024, British journal of cancer, 130(9) (9), 1552 - 1560, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Focal parenchymal atrophy and main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation have been identified as early signs of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. However, limited evidence exists regarding their temporal progression due to previous study limitations with restricted case numbers. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain a more precise frequency assessment of suspicious pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma findings as well as delineate the temporal progression of them. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between 2015 and 2021. We included patients who had undergone at least one computed tomography (CT) scan ≥6 months before diagnosing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The temporal progression of suspicious pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma findings on CT was investigated. RESULTS: Out of 1832 patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, 320 had a previous CT before their diagnosis. Suspicious pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma findings were detected in 153 cases (47.8%), with focal parenchymal atrophy (26.6%) being the most common followed by MPD dilatation (11.3%). Focal parenchymal atrophy was the earliest detectable sign among all suspicious findings and became visible on average 2.7 years before diagnosis, and the next most common, MPD dilatation, 1.1 years before diagnosis. Other findings, such as retention cysts, were less frequent and appeared around 1 year before diagnosis. Focal parenchymal atrophy followed by MPD dilatation was observed in 10 patients but not in reverse order. Focal parenchymal atrophy was more frequently detected in the pancreatic body/tail. No significant relationship was found between the pathological pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma differentiation or tumor stage and the time course of the CT findings. All cases of focal parenchymal atrophy progressed just prior to diagnosis, and the atrophic area was occupied by tumor at diagnosis. Main pancreatic duct dilatation continued to progress until diagnosis. CONCLUSION: This large-scale study revealed that the temporal progression of focal parenchymal atrophy is the earliest detectable sign indicating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. These results provide crucial insights for early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma detection.Mar. 2024, United European gastroenterology journal, English, International magazineScientific journal

- AIM: The IMbrave150 trial revealed that atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (AtezoBv) showed a higher objective response rate (ORR) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although conversion therapy after AtezoBv has been recently reported, markers predictive of its efficacy, particularly radiological imaging markers, have not yet been identified. The present study focused on tumor morphological appearance on radiological imaging and evaluated whether it could be associated with AtezoBv efficacy. METHODS: Ninety-five intrahepatic lesions in 74 patients who were given AtezoBv for advanced HCC were recruited for evaluation. The lesions were divided into two groups, simple nodular (SN group) and non-simple nodular (non-SN group), based on the gross morphology on pretreatment imaging, and retrospectively evaluated for treatment response and other relevant clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Assessing the size of individual tumors after treatment, waterfall plots showed that tumor shrinkage in the non-SN group including 56 lesions was higher than that in the SN group comprising 39 lesions. The ORR was significantly higher in the non-SN group (39.3% vs. 15.4%, p = 0.012). Additionally, the median time to nodular progression was longer in the non-SN group (21.0 months vs. 8.1 months, p = 0.119) compared to the SN group. Six patients with non-SN lesions underwent sequential local therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab may show increased therapeutic efficacy in patients with tumors with a higher potential for aggressive oncological behavior, such as non-SN lesions. Treatment strategies focusing on conversion therapy may be crucial in patients with non-SN lesions.Feb. 2024, Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology, English, International magazineScientific journal
- INTRODUCTION: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure for achalasia; its indication has expanded from adults to children. We aimed to evaluate the postoperative efficacy and antireflex status of POEM in young children with achalasia aged 12 years or younger. PATIENTS: AND METHODS: Pediatric patients with achalasia aged 18 years or younger who underwent POEM in our hospital between 2016 and 2021 were included and divided into two age groups: group A (≤ 12 years) and group B (13-18 years). The success rate (Eckardt score ≤ 3), endoscopic reflux findings, and antiacid use at 1 year postoperatively were compared between the groups. RESULTS: Ten patients (four boys and six girls; Chicago classification type I: five, type II: four, and unclassified: one) were included. Mean age and preoperative Eckardt scores in groups A (n = 4) and B (n = 6) were 9.2 ± 3.0 versus 15.6 ± 0.6 years (p = 0.001) and 5.5 ± 3.9 versus 7.2 ± 3.7 (p = 0.509), respectively, and mean operative time and myotomy length were 51.3 ± 16.6 versus 52.5 ± 13.2 minutes (p = 0.898) and 10.8 ± 4.6 versus 9.8 ± 3.2 cm (p = 0.720), respectively. The 1-year success rate was 100% in both groups. Mild esophagitis (Los Angeles classification B) was endoscopically found in one patient in each group (16.7 vs. 25.0%, p = 0.714), and antiacid use was required in three patients (group A, two; group B, one; 50.0 vs. 16.7%, p = 0.500). CONCLUSION: The success rate of POEM within 1 year in young children with achalasia aged 12 years or younger was equal to that in adolescent patients. However, young children tended to require antiacids 1 year postoperatively; therefore, long-term follow-up is necessary.Feb. 2024, European journal of pediatric surgery : official journal of Austrian Association of Pediatric Surgery ...

- BACKGROUND: The impact of extended steroid administration on patients with autoimmune pancreatitis after a 3-year maintenance period remains poorly understood. This study analyzed the advantage and disadvantage of continuing steroid therapy beyond 3 years. METHODS: In this retrospective multicenter study across 17 institutions, patients who successfully completed 3 years of maintenance therapy without experiencing relapse were categorized into two groups: the maintenance therapy discontinuation group, who discontinued steroid therapy after the initial 3-year period, and maintenance therapy continuation group, who continued steroid therapy beyond 3 years. The cumulative relapse rate after 3 years of maintenance therapy was the primary outcome. Relapse predictors were compared using the Gray test for cumulative relapse incidence by specific factor. RESULTS: Of 211 patients, 105 experienced no relapse during the 3-year maintenance therapy and were divided into two groups: 69 in the maintenance therapy discontinuation group and 36 in the maintenance therapy continuation group. The relapse rate was lower in the maintenance therapy continuation group than in the maintenance therapy discontinuation group (P = 0.035). Predictors of relapse after 3 years included cessation of maintenance therapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.76; 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.07-13.3, P = 0.040) and renal involvement (HR = 2.88; 95 % CI = 1.04-7.99, P = 0.042). The maintenance therapy continuation group showed a significantly higher prevalence of macrovascular complications, compared with the maintenance therapy discontinuation group (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Cessation of steroid maintenance therapy and renal involvement were predictors of relapse after 3 years of maintenance therapy. However, the long-term use of steroids may increase the risk of macrovascular complications.Jan. 2024, Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ...

- BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that the presence of microbiome within human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissue potentially influences cancer progression and prognosis. However, the significance of tumor-resident microbiome remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the impact of intratumoral bacteria on the pathophysiology and prognosis of human PDAC. METHODS: The presence of intratumoral bacteria was assessed in 162 surgically resected PDACs using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH) targeting 16S rRNA. The intratumoral microbiome was explored by 16S metagenome sequencing using DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. The profile of intratumoral bacteria was compared with clinical information, pathological findings including tumor-infiltrating T cells, tumor-associated macrophage, fibrosis, and alterations in four main driver genes (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A/p16, SMAD4) in tumor genomes. RESULTS: The presence of intratumoral bacteria was confirmed in 52 tumors (32%) using both qPCR and ISH. The 16S metagenome sequencing revealed characteristic bacterial profiles within these tumors, including phyla such as Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. Comparison of bacterial profiles between cases with good and poor prognosis revealed a significant positive correlation between a shorter survival time and the presence of anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, and Peptoniphilus. The abundance of these bacteria was correlated with a decrease in the number of tumor-infiltrating T cells positive for CD4, CD8, and CD45RO. CONCLUSIONS: Intratumoral infection of anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, and Peptoniphilus is correlated with the suppressed anti-PDAC immunity and poor prognosis.Jan. 2024, Journal of gastroenterology, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The association between autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and pancreatic cancer (PC) remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the long-term prognosis and risk of malignancies in AIP patients in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study on 1364 patients with type 1 AIP from 20 institutions in Japan. We calculated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) for malignancies compared to that in the general population. We analyzed factors associated with overall survival, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis. RESULTS: The SIR for all malignancies was increased (1.21 [95 % confidence interval: 1.05-1.41]) in patients with AIP. Among all malignancies, the SIR was highest for PC (3.22 [1.99-5.13]) and increased within 2 years and after 5 years of AIP diagnosis. Steroid use for ≥6 months and ≥50 months increased the risk of subsequent development of diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis, respectively. Age ≥65 years at AIP diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.73) and the development of malignancies (HR = 2.63), including PC (HR = 7.81), were associated with a poor prognosis, whereas maintenance steroid therapy was associated with a better prognosis (HR = 0.35) in the multivariate analysis. Maintenance steroid therapy was associated with a better prognosis even after propensity score matching for age and sex. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with AIP are at increased risk of developing malignancy, especially PC. PC is a critical prognostic factor for patients with AIP. Although maintenance steroid therapy negatively impacts diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis, it is associated with decreased cancer risk and improved overall survival.Jan. 2024, Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ...

- Not all patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) respond initially to treatment with biologic agents, and predicting their efficacy prior to treatment is difficult. Vedolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against alpha 4 beta 7 (α4β7) integrin, suppresses immune cell migration by blocking the interaction between α4β7 integrin and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1. Reports about histological features that predict vedolizumab efficacy are scarce. So, we examined the association between histological features and vedolizumab efficacy. This was a multicenter, retrospective study of patients with UC treated with vedolizumab. Biopsy specimens taken from the colonic mucosa prior to vedolizumab induction were used, and the areas positively stained for CD4, CD68, and CD45 were calculated. Clinical and histological features were compared between those with and without remission at week 22, and the factors associated with clinical outcomes were identified. We enrolled 42 patients. Patients with a high CD4+ infiltration showed a better response to vedolizumab [odds ratio (OR) = 1.44, P = 0.014]. The concomitant use of corticosteroids and high Mayo scores had a negative association with the vedolizumab response (OR = 0.11, P = 0.008 and OR = 0.50, P = 0.009, respectively). Histological evaluation for CD4+ cell infiltration may be helpful in selecting patients who can benefit from vedolizumab.Nov. 2023, Scientific reports, 13(1) (1), 20262 - 20262, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Perforation during esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) typically results from electrical damage. However, there are cases in which perforation occurs due to segmental absence of intestinal musculature (SAIM) without iatrogenic muscular injury. We investigated the occurrence rate and clinical course of SAIM during esophageal ESD. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of esophageal ESDs performed between 2013 and 2019 in 10 centers in Japan. RESULTS: Five of 1708 patients (0.29%) received ESD for esophageal cancer and had SAIM. The median muscular defect size was 20 mm. All lesions were resected without discontinuation. After resection, three patients were closed with Endoloop. Four patients had mediastinal emphysema. All patients were managed conservatively. CONCLUSIONS: SAIM is a very rare condition, which is usually only diagnosed during ESD. Physicians performing esophageal ESD should be aware about SAIM. When SAIM is detected, the ESD technique should be modified to prevent full-thickness perforation.Nov. 2023, Gastrointestinal endoscopy, English, International magazineScientific journal

- OBJECTIVES: Aging is associated with a high prevalence of pancreatic cysts and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). Metabolic syndrome (MS) may increase the risk of neoplasms, including those that develop in the pancreas. However, the influence of factors associated with MS on the development of IPMN remains unclear. METHODS: A total of 9363 patients who underwent abdominal ultrasound examinations between April 2012 and May 2013 were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the presence of IPMN by age. RESULTS: Pancreatic cysts were detected in 198 of 9363 patients, of whom 129 were found to have IPMNs. The presence of IPMN significantly correlated with age (10-year increments; odds ratio, 2.73; 95% CI, 2.28-3.29; P < 0.001). High body mass index, history of smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and MS were associated with a higher prevalence of IPMN with advancing age. In multivariate analysis, the presence of IPMN was more frequent in elderly patients with MS (odds ratio, 3.14; 95% CI, 3.14-6.72; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that the incidence of IPMN increases with age and is accelerated in the presence of MS.Oct. 2023, Pancreas, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND/PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY: It has been recommended that individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) be vaccinated against Coronavirus disease - 19 (COVID-19). Recently, we documented the incidence of side effects (SEs) after COVID-19 immunization among individuals with IBD in Japan. However, the study did not show differences between the types of IBD or the patients' clinical backgrounds. In this survey, we aimed at investigating whether the frequency of SEs differed among patients with IBD. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among adult patients with IBD at Kobe University between March 2022 and September 2022. RESULTS: Total 195 patients, including 134 with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 61 with Crohn's disease (CD), completed the questionnaire and were included in the analysis. Of these, 92.3%, 91.3% and 44.1% received the initial, second and third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, respectively. The frequency of local symptoms following the initial, second and third dose of the vaccine was comparable between patients with UC and CD (69.6% vs. 72.7%, 64.2% vs. 69.1% and 63.5% vs. 73.9%, respectively). Muscle pain after the initial and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine was more common among patients treated with corticosteroids (58.1% vs. 37.6% and 60.0% vs. 31.8%, p < 0.05). Female sex, younger age and current or former smoking were associated with an increased incidence of fever or chills after the initial dose of the vaccine (p < 0.05). In contrast, corticosteroid use was identified as a factor associated with an increased incidence of muscle pain after the initial dose of vaccine (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of corticosteroids could increase the risk of muscle pain following COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, factors such as female sex, younger age and current or former smoking can affect the incidence of fever or chills. This information should encourage patients with IBD to get vaccinated against COVID-19.Oct. 2023, Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 42(5) (5), 701 - 707, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a premalignant lesion of the pancreas that can occasionally manifest as recurrent acute pancreatitis. In this report, we discuss a unique case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with recurrent acute pancreatitis of an unknown cause for several years. Workup using peroral pancreatoscopy eventually showed main-duct IPMN with high-grade dysplasia as the obscure cause of recurrent acute pancreatitis. This case report highlights the clinical course of main-duct IPMN and the evolving role of peroral pancreatoscopy in patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis.Oct. 2023, ACG case reports journal, 10(10) (10), e01165, English, International magazine
- BACKGROUND: Although genome duplication, or polyploidization, is believed to drive cancer evolution and affect tumor features, its significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. We aimed to determine the characteristics of polyploid HCCs by evaluating chromosome duplication and to discover surrogate markers to discriminate polyploid HCCs. METHODS: The ploidy in human HCC was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization for multiple chromosomes. Clinicopathological and expression features were compared between polyploid and near-diploid HCCs. Markers indicating polyploid HCC were explored by transcriptome analysis of cultured HCC cells. RESULTS: Polyploidy was detected in 36% (20/56) of HCCs and discriminated an aggressive subset of HCC that typically showed high serum alpha-fetoprotein, poor differentiation, and poor prognosis compared to near-diploid HCCs. Molecular subtyping revealed that polyploid HCCs highly expressed alpha-fetoprotein but did not necessarily show progenitor features. Histological examination revealed abundant polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) with a distinct appearance and frequent macrotrabecular-massive architecture in polyploid HCCs. Notably, the abundance of PGCCs and overexpression of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes 2C indicated polyploidy in HCC and efficiently predicted poor prognosis in combination. CONCLUSIONS: Histological diagnosis of polyploidy using surrogate markers discriminates an aggressive subset of HCC, apart from known HCC subgroups, and predict poor prognosis in HCC.Sep. 2023, British journal of cancer, 129(8) (8), 1251 - 1260, English, International magazineScientific journal

- OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is performed for the treatment of lesions with varied backgrounds and factors. However, the predictive factors associated with the technical difficulty of ESD remain unknown in patients with varied lesions. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the predictive factors associated with the technical difficulty of ESD for ESCC using a retrospective cohort. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 10 hospitals in Japan. Consecutive patients who underwent esophageal ESD between January 2013 and December 2019 were enrolled. Lesions of subepithelial tumors, adenocarcinoma, and adenoma were excluded. Difficult lesions were defined as ESD requiring a long procedure time (≥120 min), perforation development, piecemeal resection, or discontinued ESD. In the present study, the clinical factors were assessed to identify the technical difficulty of ESD using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Among 1708 lesions treated with esophageal ESD, eight subepithelial tumors, 44 adenocarcinomas, and two adenomas were excluded. Finally, 1505 patients with 1654 lesions were analyzed, and 217 patients with 217 lesions (13.1%) were classified as patients with difficult lesions. In multivariate analysis, the predictive factors associated with the technical difficulty of ESD were as follows: tumors with varices, tumors with diverticulum, antiplatelet use (discontinued), circumference of tumor (≥1/2), preoperative tumor size ≥30 mm, trainee, and nonhigh-volume center. CONCLUSION: This multicenter retrospective study identified the predictive factors associated with the technical difficulty of ESD for ESCC with varied backgrounds and factors.Aug. 2023, Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) possess autoantibodies against biliary epithelial cells. However, the target molecules remain unknown. METHODS: The sera of patients with PSC and controls were subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to detect autoantibodies using recombinant integrin proteins. Integrin αvβ6 expression in the bile duct tissues was examined using immunofluorescence. The blocking activity of the autoantibodies was examined using solid-phase binding assays. RESULTS: Anti-integrin αvβ6 antibodies were detected in 49/55 (89.1%) patients with PSC and 5/150 (3.3%) controls (P < 0.001), with a sensitivity and specificity of 89.1% and 96.7%, respectively, for PSC diagnosis. When focusing on the presence or absence of IBD, the proportion of the positive antibodies in PSC with IBD was 97.2% (35/36) and that in PSC alone was 73.7% (14/19) (P = 0.008). Integrin αvβ6 was expressed in bile duct epithelial cells. Immunoglobulin (Ig)G from 15/33 patients with PSC blocked integrin αvβ6-fibronectin binding through an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) tripeptide motif. CONCLUSIONS: Autoantibodies against integrin αvβ6 were detected in most patients with PSC; anti-integrin αvβ6 antibody may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker for PSC.Aug. 2023, Journal of gastroenterology, 58(8) (8), 778 - 789, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Pancreatic cancer primarily arises from microscopic precancerous lesions, such as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM). However, no established method exists for predicting pancreatic precancerous conditions. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can detect changes in pancreatic parenchymal histology, including fibrosis. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between pancreatic parenchymal EUS findings and microscopic precancerous lesions. We retrospectively analyzed 114 patients with pancreatobiliary tumors resected between 2010 and 2020 and evaluated the association between pancreatic parenchymal EUS findings and the number of PanIN, ADM, and pancreatic duct gland (PDG). Of the 114 patients, 33 (29.0%), 55 (48.2%), and 26 (22.8%) had normal EUS findings, hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity, and hyperechoic foci/stranding with lobularity, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that abnormal EUS findings were significantly associated with the frequency of PanIN (hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity: OR [95% CI] = 2.7 [1.0-7.3], with lobularity: 6.5 [1.9-22.5], Ptrend = 0.01) and ADM (hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity: 3.1 [1.1-8.2], with lobularity: 9.7 [2.6-36.3], Ptrend = 0.003) but not with PDG (hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity: 2.2 [0.8-5.8], with lobularity: 3.2 [1.0-10.2], Ptrend = 0.12). We observed a trend toward a significantly higher number of precancerous lesions in the following order: normal findings, hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity, and hyperechoic foci/stranding with lobularity. Pancreatic parenchymal EUS findings were associated with the increased frequency of PanIN and ADM. Lobularity may help predict the increased number of precancerous lesions.Jul. 2023, Scientific reports, 13(1) (1), 12052 - 12052, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Abundant collagen deposition is a hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). This study clarified the interactive relationship between tumor-stromal collagen, molecular and immune characteristics, and tumor pr ogression in human PDAC. METHODS: We performed a comprehensive examination using an integrative molecular pathological epidemiology database on 169 cases with resected PDAC . The amount of tumor-stromal collagen was quantified through digital imaging analysis for Elastica van Gieson-stained whole-section tumor slides. We analyzed the association of tumor-stromal collagen with gene alterations (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A/p16, and SMAD4), immune parameters (CD4+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes [TILs], CD8+ TILs, FOXP3+ TILs, and tertiary lymphoid structures), and patient prognosis. RESULTS: Low amounts of tumor-stromal collagen were associated with poor differentiation (multivariable OR = 3.82, 95%CI = 1.41-12.2, P = 0.008) and CDKN2A/p16 alteration (OR [95%CI] = 2.06 [1.08-4.02], P = 0.03). Tumors with low collagen levels had shorter overall survival (HR [95%CI] = 2.38 [1.59-3.56], P < 0.0001). In the S-1 and gemcitabine (GEM) treatment groups, low tumor-stromal collagen was linked to poor prognosis of patients with PDAC (S-1 group: multivariable HR [95%CI] = 2.76 [1.36-5.79], P = 0.005; GEM group: multivariate HR [95%CI] = 2.91 [1.34-6.71], P = 0.007). Additionally, low amounts of tumor-stromal collagen were also linked to low levels of CD4+ TILs (P = 0.046), CD8+ TILs (P = 0.09), and tertiary lymphoid structures (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Tumor-stromal collagen deposition may play a crucial role in modulating tumor-immune microenvironment and determining response to adjuvant chemotherapy and patient survival outcomes.Jul. 2023, Journal of gastroenterology, 58(10) (10), 1055 - 1067, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Objective We assessed the factors associated with overlap between functional dyspepsia (FD) and nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) in endoscopy-based Helicobacter pylori-uninfected Japanese health checkup participants. Methods We utilized baseline data from 3,085 individuals who underwent upper endoscopy for health screening in a prospective, multicenter cohort study. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing their upper abdominal symptoms and lifestyle. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score. FD, postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) were defined according to the Rome III criteria. NERD was defined as heartburn or regurgitation ≥1 day/week without erosive esophagitis. Results Of the 3,085 participants, 73 (2.4%), 97 (3.1%), and 84 (2.7%) had FD alone, NERD alone, and FD-NERD overlap, respectively. Factors associated with FD-NERD-overlap participants compared with participants with neither FD nor NERD were women [odds ratio (OR): 2.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.24-3.52], body mass index (BMI) <18.5 (OR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.56-5.07), alcohol consumption ≥20 g/day (OR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.06-3.15), and a high STAI score (OR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.62-4.00). Increasing age (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.11) and EPS symptoms [pure EPS (OR: 3.67, 95% CI: 1.65-8.51) and PDS-EPS overlap (OR: 11.6, 95% CI: 4.09-37.2)] were associated with FD-NERD overlap vs. FD alone. Women (OR: 3.17, 95% CI: 1.47-7.04), BMI <18.5 (OR: 3.03, 95% CI: 1.04-9.90), and acid reflux symptoms ≥2 days a week (OR: 3.57, 95% CI: 1.83-7.14) were associated with FD-NERD overlap vs. NERD alone. Conclusion Understanding the clinical features of overlap between FD and NERD will lead to better management.Jul. 2023, Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Abstract M2 macrophages contribute to the progression of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC); however, the roles of M2 macrophages in early ESCC remain unclear. To clarify the biological mechanisms underlying the interaction between M2 macrophages and oesophageal epithelial cells in early‐stage ESCC, in vitro co‐culture assays between the immortalised oesophageal epithelial cell line Het‐1A and cytokine‐defined M2 macrophages were established. Co‐culture with M2 macrophages promoted the proliferation and migration of Het‐1A cells via the mTOR–p70S6K signalling pathway activated by YKL‐40, also known as chitinase 3‐like 1, and osteopontin (OPN) that were hypersecreted in the co‐culture supernatants. YKL‐40 and OPN promoted the above phenotypes of Het‐1A by making a complex with integrin β4 (β4). Furthermore, YKL‐40 and OPN promoted M2 polarisation, proliferation, and migration of macrophages. To validate the pathological and clinical significances of in vitro experimental results, immunohistochemistry of human early ESCC tissues obtained by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed, confirming the activation of the YKL‐40/OPN–β4–p70S6K axis in the tumour area. Moreover, epithelial expression of β4 and the number of epithelial and stromal infiltrating YKL‐40‐ and OPN‐positive cells correlated with the Lugol‐voiding lesions (LVLs), a well‐known predictor of the incidence of metachronous ESCC. Furthermore, the combination of high expression of β4 and LVLs or high numbers of epithelial and stromal infiltrating YKL‐40‐ and OPN‐positive immune cells could more clearly detect the incidence of metachronous ESCC than each of the parameters alone. Our results demonstrated that the YKL‐40/OPN–β4–p70S6K axis played important roles in early‐stage ESCC, and the high expression levels of β4 and high numbers of infiltrating YKL‐40‐ and OPN‐positive immune cells could be useful predictive parameters for the incidence of metachronous ESCC after ESD. © 2023 The Authors.

- BACKGROUND: Heavy drinking is associated with esophageal cancer and esophageal varices. However, there are limited reports of endoscopic resection for esophageal cancer with esophageal varices. In this multicenter study, we clarified the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection for superficial esophageal cancer with esophageal varices. METHODS: In this multicenter, retrospective, observational study, patients underwent esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection at 10 referral centers in Japan from January 2013 to December 2019. We analyzed characteristics including backgrounds and varices, treatment outcomes, and adverse events in cases with esophageal varices. RESULTS: A total of 1708 patients were evaluated, 27 (1.6%) of whom had esophageal varices. In patients with esophageal varices, the en bloc resection rate and R0 resection rate were 100% and 77.8%, respectively. Patients with esophageal varices had longer procedure times than patients without esophageal varices (p = 0.015). There was no significant difference in adverse events. There was no significant difference in procedure time and number of adverse events between patients who underwent pretreatment and those who did not. There was no significant difference in these outcomes for patients with lesions on varices compared to those without. Child-Pugh classification and location of the lesions also did not affect these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Esophageal cancer with esophageal varices could be treated endoscopically safely and effectively.Jul. 2023, Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, 20(3) (3), 515 - 523, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze factors associated with the overall survival (OS) of atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). We also assessed the OS of patients with ineffective therapy and those who discontinued treatment owing to adverse events (AEs). METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study involved 139 patients with aHCC who received atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy between November 2020 and September 2022. RESULTS: The median duration of treatment was 136.5 days, and the median observation period was 316 days. The overall response rate was 40%, and the disease control rate was 78% according to mRECIST criteria. Grade ≥2 AEs occurred in 63 patients (43%) and led to treatment discontinuation in 16 patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that treatment response and occurrence of grade ≥2 AEs after therapy, as well as low level of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade and low level of des-gamma carboxy prothrombin (DCP) before therapy, were extracted as factors that contributed to OS. Log-rank tests with the Kaplan-Meier method showed significant differences in OS among these factors. The OS of patients who discontinued owing to AEs was significantly shorter than that of other patients. CONCLUSION: Not only factors before therapy but also treatment response and the appearance of AEs are involved in OS for atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy. Although the development of AEs also contributed to OS, appropriate management of AEs is important to avoid discontinuing treatment with this combination.Jul. 2023, JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 7(7) (7), 476 - 481, English, International magazineScientific journal

- INTRODUCTION: Favorable long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early remnant gastric cancer (ERGC) have been reported in single-center studies from advanced institutions. However, no studies have examined the long-term outcomes using a multicenter database. This study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes of the aforementioned approach using a large multicenter database. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter cohort study included 242 cases with 256 lesions that underwent ESD for ERGC between April 2009 and March 2019 across 12 centers. We investigated the long-term outcomes of these patients with the Kaplan-Meier method, and the relationship between curability, additional treatment, or hospital category, and the survival time was evaluated using the log-rank test. RESULTS: During the median follow-up period of 48.4 months, the 5-year overall survival rate was 81.3%, and the 5-year gastric cancer-specific survival rate was 98.1%. The survival time of patients of endoscopic curability (eCura) C-2 without additional surgery was significantly shorter than the corresponding of patients of eCura A/B/C-1 and eCura C-2 with additional surgery. There was no significant difference in either overall survival or gastric cancer-specific survival rate between the high-volume and non-high-volume hospitals. CONCLUSION: The gastric cancer-specific survival of ESD for ERGC using a multicenter database was favorable. ESD for ERGC is widely applicable regardless of the hospital case volume. Management in accordance with the latest guidelines will lead to long-term survival.Jun. 2023, Digestion, 1 - 10, English, International magazineScientific journal

- A 75-year-old Japanese woman visited a hospital with a stomachache. The patient was diagnosed with localized mild acute pancreatitis. Blood tests revealed elevated serum IgG4 levels. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a hypovascular mass, 3 cm in size, in the pancreatic body with dilation of the upstream duct. Additionally, it showed another tumorous lesion of 10 mm in size in the anterior wall of the stomach, and endoscopic examination confirmed a submucosal tumor (SMT) sized 10 mm in the anterior wall of the stomach. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) of the pancreas revealed an adenocarcinoma concomitant with marked IgG4-positive cell infiltration. Hence, distal pancreatectomy with local gastrectomy was performed, and the final diagnosis was concluded as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) complicated by IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) in the pancreas and stomach. IgG4-RD of the digestive tract is exceedingly rare. The correlation between PDAC and autoimmune pancreatitis or malignancy and IgG4-RD is controversial. However, the clinical course and histopathological examination, in this case, provide valuable suggestive findings for further discussion.May 2023, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 16(5) (5), 785 - 790, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Abstract Background Our study and several studies have reported that in some cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the expression of squamous lineage markers, such as esophagus-tissue-specific genes, correlated with a poor prognosis. However, the mechanism by which the acquisition of squamous lineage phenotypes leads to a poor prognosis remains unclear. We previously reported that retinoic acid signaling via retinoic acid receptor γ (RARγ signaling) determines the differentiation lineage into the esophageal squamous epithelium. These findings hypothesized that the activation of RARγ signaling contributed to acquiring squamous lineage phenotypes and malignant behavior in PDAC. Methods This study utilized public databases and immunostaining of surgical specimens to examine RARγ expression in PDAC. We evaluated the function of RARγ signaling by inhibitors and siRNA knockdown using a PDAC cell line and patient-derived PDAC organoids. The mechanism of the tumor-suppressive effects by blocking RARγ signaling was examined by a cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assays, RNA sequencing and Western blotting. Results RARγ expression in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and PDAC was higher than that in the normal pancreatic duct. Its expression correlated with a poor patient prognosis in PDAC. In PDAC cell lines, blockade of RARγ signaling suppressed cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase without causing apoptosis. We demonstrated that blocking RARγ signaling upregulated p21 and p27 and downregulated many cell cycle genes, including cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), CDK4 and CDK6. Furthermore, using patient-derived PDAC organoids, we confirmed the tumor-suppressive effect of RARγ inhibition and indicated the synergistic effects of RARγ inhibition with gemcitabine. Conclusions This study clarified the function of RARγ signaling in PDAC progression and demonstrated the tumor-suppressive effect of selective blockade of RARγ signaling against PDAC. These results suggest that RARγ signaling might be a new therapeutic target for PDAC.Springer Science and Business Media LLC, May 2023, Cancer Cell International, 23(1) (1)Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, defined as a loss of skeletal muscle mass and quality, is found in 30-65% of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at diagnosis, and is a poor prognostic factor. However, it is yet to be evaluated why sarcopenia is associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, this study elucidated the tumor characteristics of PDAC with sarcopenia, including driver gene alterations and tumor microenvironment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 162 patients with PDAC who underwent pancreatic surgery between 2008 and 2017. We defined sarcopenia by measuring the skeletal muscle mass at the L3 level using preoperative computed tomography images and evaluated driver gene alteration (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A/p16, and SMAD4) and tumor immune (CD4+, CD8+, and FOXP3+) and fibrosis status (stromal collagen). RESULTS: In localized-stage PDAC (stage ≤ IIa), overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival were significantly shorter in the sarcopenia group than in the non-sarcopenia group (2-year OS 89.7% versus 59.1%, P = 0.03; 2-year RFS 74.9% versus 50.0%, P = 0.02). Multivariate analysis revealed that sarcopenia was an independent poor prognostic factor in localized-stage PDAC. Additionally, tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells in the sarcopenia group were significantly less than in the non-sarcopenia group (P = 0.02). However, no difference was observed in driver gene alteration and fib.rotic status. These findings were not observed in advanced-stage PDAC (stage ≥ IIb). CONCLUSIONS: Sarcopenia was associated with a worse prognosis and decreased tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells in localized-stage PDAC. Sarcopenia may worsen a patient's prognosis by suppressing local tumor immunity.May 2023, Annals of surgical oncology, 30(9) (9), 5776 - 5787, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is an important cause of opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed hosts, such as patients with HIV infection and solid organ transplant recipients. MAC disease usually presents in 4 distinct clinical categories: chronic pulmonary disease, disseminated disease, skin/soft-tissue infection, and superficial lymphadenitis. However, clinical reports on gastrointestinal (GI) MAC disease are rare, especially in patients without HIV infection or a history of organ transplantation. We describe a case of non-HIV-associated GI MAC disease in a patient with long-term mycophenolate mofetil use. In this case, MAC organisms in the GI tract and ascites were observed. Endoscopy revealed a unique colonic image with large, deep epithelial denudations. This suggests that apart from patients with HIV infection or transplant recipients, those treated with immunosuppressants can have disseminated MAC. Therefore, internal physicians need to monitor patients undergoing mycophenolate mofetil immunosuppressant therapy.Apr. 2023, ACG case reports journal, 10(4) (4), e01033, English, International magazine

Patients A total of 13,240 upper gastrointestinal endoscopies were performed on 7,488 patients between December 1, 2017, and March 31, 2021. Results We identified 27 patients with 30 histopathologically confirmed OGNs, yielding a disease frequency of 0.36% (27/7,488). Furthermore, multiple simultaneous lesions were found in 3 of 27 patients (11%). One (3.3%) of the 30 lesions was present in the antrum, whereas the remaining lesions occurred in the body of the stomach. Nine (33%) of the 27 patients had no history of Helicobacter pylori infection, whereas the remaining 18 (67%) were either currently or had been previously infected. Nevertheless, 27/30 lesions (90%) still occurred in non-atrophied regions. After endoscopic treatment, a histopathological examination of the resected specimens revealed submucosal infiltration in 8 (44%) of the 18 lesions; however, none of the lesions showed submucosal desmoplasia. For all patients with submucosal involvement, only observation was performed. There were no recurrent lesions found on follow-up. Conclusion The period prevalence of OGN was 0.36%, which is much higher than previously reported. The discovery of a small submucosal appearing lesion with a faded yellow or white color and dilated microvasculature, especially in a non-atrophic area of the stomach, should raise suspicion for an OGN, which can be endoscopically managed.Feb. 2023, Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Abstract Background Amino acid transporters play an important role in supplying nutrition to cells and are associated with cell proliferation. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is highly expressed in many types of cancers and promotes tumor growth; however, how LAT1 affects tumor development is not fully understood. Methods To investigate the role of LAT1 in intestinal tumorigenesis, mice carrying LAT1 floxed alleles that also expressed Cre recombinase from the promoter of gene encoding Villin were crossed to an ApcMin/+ background (LAT1fl/fl; vil-cre; ApcMin/+), which were subject to analysis; organoids derived from those mice were also analyzed. Results This study showed that LAT1 was constitutively expressed in normal crypt base cells, and its conditional deletion in the intestinal epithelium resulted in fewer Paneth cells. LAT1 deletion reduced tumor size and number in the small intestine of ApcMin/+ mice. Organoids derived from LAT1-deleted ApcMin/+ intestinal crypts displayed fewer spherical organoids with reduced Wnt/β-catenin target gene expression, suggesting a low tumor-initiation capacity. Wnt3 expression was decreased in the absence of LAT1 in the intestinal epithelium, suggesting that loss of Paneth cells due to LAT1 deficiency reduced the risk of tumor initiation by decreasing Wnt3 production. Conclusions LAT1 affects intestinal tumor development in a cell-extrinsic manner through reduced Wnt3 expression in Paneth cells. Our findings may partly explain how nutrient availability can affect the risk of tumor development in the intestines.Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Feb. 2023, Journal of GastroenterologyScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIM: The chemotherapeutic landscape for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) has changed dramatically with the availability of several treatment options. This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of lenvatinib treatment and analyze its feasibility in the sequential treatment of HCCs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighty-five consecutive patients who received lenvatinib for unresectable HCCs were investigated retrospectively. Survival was assessed based on when the patients were first radiologically diagnosed with progressive disease. Among those with radiologically diagnosed stable or progressive disease at 3 months after lenvatinib administration, the cutoff α-fetoprotein (AFP) ratio (ratio of the AFP level after lenvatinib treatment to the pretreatment AFP level) that was predictive of survival was determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS: The median survival time (MST) was significantly worse among patients diagnosed with progressive disease at 1 month after treatment than among those diagnosed at 2-3 or 3-4 months after treatment [MSTs at 1, 2-3, and 3-4 months: 2.2, 10.2, and 17.3 months, respectively (p<0.001)]. An AFP ratio of 1.36 (computed using the AFP level at 3 months after lenvatinib treatment) was significantly predictive of survival in patients with stable or progressive disease (26.3 vs. 11.3 months, p=0.0024). CONCLUSION: The prognosis of patients on lenvatinib who develop early progressive disease is dismal. Thus, their treatment should be ceased or switched. The 3-month AFP ratio of 1.36 may be a potentially useful cutoff for considering a switch to other treatments in patients radiologically diagnosed with stable or progressive disease.Feb. 2023, Anticancer research, 43(2) (2), 911 - 918, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) reflects an intense immune response against cancer, which correlates with favorable patient survival. However, the association of TLS with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and clinical outcomes has not been investigated comprehensively in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS: We utilized an integrative molecular pathological epidemiology database on 162 cases with resected PDAC, and examined TLS in relation to levels of TILs, patient survival, and treatment response. In whole-section slides, we assessed the formation of TLS and conducted immunohistochemistry for tumor-infiltrating T cells (CD4, CD8, CD45RO, and FOXP3). As confounding factors, we assessed alterations of four main driver genes (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A [p16], and SMAD4) using next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry, and tumor CD274 (PD-L1) expression assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: TLSs were found in 112 patients with PDAC (69.1%). TLS was associated with high levels of CD4+ TILs (multivariable odds ratio [OR], 3.50; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.65-7.80; P = 0.0002), CD8+ TILs (multivariable OR, 11.0; 95% CI 4.57-29.7, P < 0.0001) and CD45RO+ TILs (multivariable OR, 2.65; 95% CI 1.25-5.80, P = 0.01), but not with levels of FOXP3+ TILs. TLS was associated with longer pancreatic cancer-specific survival (multivariable hazard ratio, 0.37; 95% CI 0.25-0.56, P < 0.0001) and favorable outcomes of adjuvant S-1-treatment. TLS was not associated with driver gene alterations but tumor CD274 negative expression. CONCLUSIONS: Our comprehensive data supports the surrogacy of TLS for vigorous anti-tumor immune response characterized by high levels of helper and cytotoxic T cells and their prognostic role.Jan. 2023, Journal of gastroenterology, 58(3) (3), 277 - 291, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- INTRODUCTION: Gastric stasis due to deformation occurs after endoscopic submucosal dissection in the lower part of the stomach. Endoscopic balloon dilation can improve gastric stasis due to stenosis; however, endoscopic balloon dilation cannot improve gastric stasis due to deformation. Furthermore, the characteristics of gastric stasis due to deformation are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of gastric stasis due to deformation after endoscopic submucosal dissection in the lower part of the stomach, focusing on the differences between stenosis and deformation. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 41 patients with gastric stasis after endoscopic submucosal dissection in the lower part of the stomach. We evaluated the characteristics of cases with gastric stasis due to deformation, such as the risk factors of deformation and the rate of deformation in each group with risk factors. RESULTS: Deformation was observed in 12% (5/41) of the patients with gastric stasis. All cases of deformation had a circumferential extent of the mucosal defect greater than 3/4. The number of cases with pyloric dissection was significantly lower in the deformation group than in the non-deformation group (0% vs. 72%; p = 0.004). The deformation group also had a significantly higher number of cases with angular dissection than the non-deformation group (100% vs. 17%; p < 0.001). Moreover, the deformation cases had a significantly larger specimen diameter (p < 0.001). Deformation was observed only in cases with angular and non-pyloric dissections. Deformation was not observed in cases with angular and pyloric dissections. CONCLUSIONS: All cases of gastric stasis due to deformation had a circumferential extent of the mucosal defect greater than 3/4. Deformation was also likely to occur in cases with a larger dissection that exceeded the angular region without pyloric dissection.2023, Digestion, 104(4) (4), 320 - 327, English, International magazineScientific journal

- When the etiology of pancreatitis cannot be determined despite sufficient investigation, recurrence and progression to chronic pancreatitis often involve genetic mutations. Herein, we describe a case of recurrent pancreatitis with the IVS3+2T>C mutation in the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) gene that progressed to chronic pancreatitis in only 3 years. A 35-year-old man was referred to our hospital, where he was diagnosed with mild pancreatitis and was treated conservatively. However, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of pancreatitis, which progressed to become chronic pancreatitis with a pancreatic calcification 1 year later. After 3 years, the patient developed pancreatic duct stenosis and required a pancreatic duct stent placement. Regarding the cause of chronic pancreatitis, alcohol abuse was ruled out based on history taking. Considering the course of treatment, autoimmune pancreatitis and obstructive pancreatitis, such as pancreatic divisum, were also ruled out. Finally, a germline genetic test was performed to determine the etiology of pancreatitis, which revealed the IVS3+2T>C mutation in SPINK1. This case shows the importance of genetic testing in patients with idiopathic pancreatitis to determine their etiology and is a rare incident that can report the progression of the disease from acute to chronic pancreatitis.2023, Case reports in gastroenterology, 17(1) (1), 49 - 55, English, International magazine
- OBJECTIVES: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective treatment for esophageal motility disorders including achalasia and its variants. However, some surgeons have encountered challenging cases. This study aimed to develop a risk-scoring system to predict challenging cases of POEM. METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent POEM between April 2015 and March 2020 at our hospital were included in this single-center retrospective study. Challenging cases of POEM were defined as patients with any of the following: (i) procedure time ≥90 min; (ii) mucosal perforation; (iii) pneumothorax; and (iv) major bleeding. A risk-scoring system for predicting challenging cases was developed based on multivariate logistic regression and internal validation was performed using the bootstrap method. Clinical usefulness was evaluated using a decision curve analysis. RESULTS: Of the 467 patients, 59 (12.6%) had challenging POEM. A risk-scoring system consisted of four variables: duration of symptoms ≥5 years (assigned score, 1 point), antithrombotics use (1 point), manometric diagnosis of achalasia variants (2 points), and dilation grade 3 (2 points). Our scoring system showed satisfactory discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61-0.77) and calibration (slope, 0.99; 95% CI 0.65-1.35). The decision curve analysis demonstrated its clinical usefulness. CONCLUSIONS: We established a risk-scoring system to predict challenging cases of POEM. This scoring system may aid the selection of patients who require treatment from experienced surgeons.Dec. 2022, Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIM: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and lenvatinib are the key drugs in the current systemic chemotherapeutic regimen for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies have reported the potential effectiveness of lenvatinib introduction after an atezolizumab plus bevacizumab treatment; however, the therapeutic effectiveness of a lenvatinib rechallenge after an atezolizumab plus bevacizumab treatment remains unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirteen consecutive patients who were rechallenged with lenvatinib after clinical failure following treatments with lenvatinib and atezolizumab plus bevacizumab were included. A comparative study was conducted on the duration and treatment efficacy of the first and second lenvatinib treatments and on the pre- and post-treatment liver function. RESULTS: The median ratios of the 1-month post-treatment alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels to the pretreatment AFP levels were 0.750 and 0.667 for the first and second lenvatinib treatments, respectively, without significant difference (p=0.9327). Meanwhile, the median ratios of the 1-month post-treatment albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores to the pretreatment ALBI scores were 1.063 and 0.827 for the first and second lenvatinib treatments, respectively, with significant difference (p=0.015). The median duration of the second lenvatinib treatment was significantly shorter than that of the first lenvatinib treatment [2.8 months (range=0.9-4.7 months) vs. 8.7 months (range=3.1-29.7 months)]. CONCLUSION: Lenvatinib re-administration after atezolizumab plus bevacizumab treatment can act as a double-edged sword, as it exerts an anti-tumor effect while being associated with potential liver function deterioration. However, this treatment sequence can be useful, and requires careful monitoring of the transitions in the liver function and the patient's performance status.Nov. 2022, Anticancer research, 42(11) (11), 5479 - 5486, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIM: Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) findings of the pancreatic parenchyma, such as hyperechoic foci/stranding and lobularity, may be associated with the severity of chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, the correlation between parenchymal EUS findings and histology remains unclear. We designed a large-scale retrospective study analyzing over 200 surgical specimens to elucidate the association between parenchymal EUS findings and histological features. METHODS: Clinical data of 221 patients with pancreatobiliary tumors who underwent preoperative EUS and pancreatic surgery between January 2010 and November 2020 were reviewed to investigate the association between parenchymal EUS findings and histological features at the pancreatic body. None of these patients met the definition of CP. RESULTS: Of the 221 patients, 87 (39.4%), 89 (40.2%), and 45 (20.4%) had normal EUS findings, hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity, and hyperechoic foci/stranding with lobularity, respectively. In the multivariate analyses, parenchymal EUS findings significantly correlated with histological CP findings of fibrosis, inflammation, and atrophy (hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity vs hyperechoic foci/stranding with lobularity, odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 4.1 [2.2-7.9] vs 31.3 [9.3-105.6], Ptrend < 0.001; 3.9 [1.9-8.2] vs 21.8 [8.0-59.4], Ptrend < 0.001; and 4.0 [2.0-7.8] vs 22.9 [7.0-74.5], Ptrend < 0.001, respectively). Further, a trend toward higher histological grade was observed in the following order: normal findings, hyperechoic foci/stranding without lobularity, and hyperechoic foci/stranding with lobularity. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic ultrasonography findings of the pancreatic parenchyma may be associated with the histological conditions in CP, such as pancreatic fibrosis, inflammation, and atrophy. Lobularity reflects more severe histological conditions than does hyperechoic foci/stranding.Oct. 2022, Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 38(1) (1), 103 - 111, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are recommended to receive the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. However, a recent survey showed that patients with IBD are more hesitant to receive the vaccine than the general population. Detailed information on the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine is necessary to encourage vaccination among patients with IBD. AIM: To investigate the frequency of side effects following COVID-19 vaccination in patients with IBD in Japan. STUDY DESIGN: a cross-sectional survey was conducted using a questionnaire administered to adult patients with IBD in a tertiary medical facility. RESULTS: Among the participants who answered the questionnaire, 92.6%, 91.5%, and 41.5% of the participants had received their first, second, and third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, respectively. Of the vaccinated participants, 88.3%, 86.3%, and 89.0% experienced side effects after receiving the first, second, and third doses of the vaccine, respectively. The incidences of fever, chills, and headaches were significantly higher among female participants than among male participants (p < 0.05). However, the frequencies of most side effects were comparable between the BNT162b2 mRNA and mRNA-1273 vaccines. CONCLUSION: The findings of our survey can help encourage patients with IBD to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.Sep. 2022, Digestive diseases and sciences, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: A step-up approach is recommended as a new treatment algorithm for pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). However, determining which patients with PFCs require a step-up approach after endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) is unclear. If the need for a step-up approach could be predicted, it could be performed early for relevant patients. We aimed to identify PFC-related predictive factors for a step-up approach after EUS-TD. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who had undergone EUS-TD for PFCs from January 2008 to May 2020. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate PFC factors related to requiring a step-up approach. A step-up approach was performed for patients who did not respond clinically to EUS-TD. RESULTS: We enrolled 81 patients, of whom 25 (30.9%) required a step-up approach. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the pre-EUS-TD number of PFC-occupied regions ≥ 3 (multivariate odds ratio [OR] 16.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.68-97.6, P = 0.002), the post-EUS-TD PFC-remaining percentage ≥ 35% (multivariate OR 19.9, 95% CI 2.91-136.1, P = 0.002), and a positive sponge sign, which is a distinctive computed tomography finding in the early stage after EUS-TD (multivariate OR 6.26, 95% CI 1.33-29.3, P = 0.020), were independent predictive factors associated with requiring a step-up approach for PFCs. CONCLUSION: Pre-EUS-TD PFC-occupied regions, post-EUS-TD PFC-remaining percentage, and a positive sponge sign were predictors of the need for a step-up approach. Patients with PFC with these findings should be offered a step-up approach whereas conservative treatment is recommended for patients without these findings.

- BACKGROUND: We attempted to determine the indications and limitations of steroid therapy as the 1st line therapy in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) with cyst formation (ACF). METHODS: This Japanese multicenter survey was conducted to examine the merits/demerits of steroid treatment as the initial therapy for ACF. RESULT: Data of a total of 115 patients with ACF were analyzed. Complete remission was achieved in 86% (86/100) of patients who had received steroid treatment, but only 33.3% (5/15) of patients who had not received steroids. Relapse after the remission (n=86) occurred in 7.6% (6/86) of patients who had received steroid therapy, but 40% (2/5) of patients who had not received steroid therapy. Multivariate analysis identified adoption of the wait&watch approach without steroid treatment (odds ratio=0.126, p<0.001) as a significant and independent negative predictor of remission of ACF. As for predictors of relapse, the presence of varix (odds ratio=5.83, p=0.036) was identified as an independent risk factor. CONCLUSION: Steroid therapy plays an important role as 1st line therapy in AIP patients with pancreatic cyst formation, however, varix formation, besides the diameter of the cyst(s), is a risk factor for refractoriness to steroid therapy.Aug. 2022, Journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic sciences, 30(5) (5), 664 - 677, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Secondary sclerosing cholangitis, characterized by biliary obstruction, can be caused by drugs such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). While there a few reports of sclerosing cholangitis after immune checkpoint inhibitor administration, no case has been reported after discontinuation of such drugs. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old man who underwent chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis presented with abdominal pain and fever 4 mo after the final administration of pembrolizumab. Computed tomography revealed thickening of the gallbladder wall and dilatation of the common bile duct. Endoscopic retro-grade cholangiopancreatography revealed an irregularly narrowed intrahepatic bile duct. Biopsy of the bile duct demonstrated that CD8+ T cells were predominant over CD4+ T cells. Liver biopsy showed dominant infiltration of CD8+ T in the portal tract, but onion-skin lesions were not observed. The patient was diagnosed with immune-related sclerosing cholangitis induced by pembrolizumab. Administration of methylprednisolone and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage were performed, but the cholangiography and laboratory test findings did not improve. No further treatment was administered due to disease progression, and the patient was referred for palliative care. CONCLUSION: Immune-related sclerosing cholangitis may have a late onset, and such cases occurring after discontinuation of ICIs should be carefully managed.Jul. 2022, World journal of gastroenterology, 28(28) (28), 3732 - 3738, English, International magazine
- PURPOSE: No study has focused on the safety and feasibility of our previously developed open-window suturing technique to close mucosal defects on the pancreatic side after endoscopic submucosal dissection from the opened duodenal wall. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and usefulness of laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors for treating superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors on the pancreatic side of the duodenum. METHODS: This retrospective study included 61 consecutive patients who underwent surgery during August 2014-November 2021. After dissection when the tumor was on the pancreatic side, we sutured the mucosal defect from the opened duodenal wall. A preoperative endoscopic pancreatic stent was placed for tumors within 1 cm of the ampulla of Vater. The surgical outcomes were compared between tumors on the pancreatic and non-pancreatic sides. RESULTS: There were 27 and 34 patients with tumors on the pancreatic and non-pancreatic sides, respectively. The patient characteristics were similar. Preoperative pancreatic stents were placed in four patients in the pancreatic side group. The median operative time was significantly longer on the pancreatic side than in the non-pancreatic side group (241 vs. 209 min, P = 0.02). In one patient in the pancreatic side group, an intraoperative injury of the ampulla of Vater was successfully treated with intraoperative management. There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative grade II or higher complications between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors for treating superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors on the pancreatic side is safe and feasible.Jul. 2022, Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 26(11) (11), 2266 - 2273, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Objective Endoscopic reports are conventionally written at the end of each procedure, and the endoscopist must complete the report from memory. To make endoscopic reporting more efficient, we developed a new speech recognition (SR) system that generates highly accurate endoscopic reports based on structured data entry. We conducted a pilot study to examine the performance of this SR system in an actual endoscopy setting with various types of background noise. Methods In this prospective observational pilot study, participants who underwent upper endoscopy with our SR system were included. The primary outcome was the correct recognition rate of the system. We compared the findings generated by the SR system with the findings in the handwritten report prepared by the endoscopist. The initial correct recognition rate, number of revisions, finding registration time, and endoscopy time were also analyzed. Results Upper endoscopy was performed in 34 patients, generating 128 findings of 22 disease names. The correct recognition rate was 100%, and the median number of revisions was 0. The median finding registration time was 2.57 (interquartile range [IQR], 2.33-2.92) seconds, and the median endoscopy time was 234 (IQR, 194-227) seconds. Conclusion The SR system demonstrated high recognition accuracy in the clinical setting. The finding registration time was extremely short.Jun. 2022, Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- Objectives Small proline-rich protein 1A (SPRR1A) is recognized as a squamous differentiation marker but is also upregulated in some non-squamous cancers. However, its expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has not been investigated. This study elucidated the expression of SPRR1A in PDAC and its effect on the prognosis and malignant behavior of PDAC. Methods We examined the SPRR1A expression by immunohistochemistry in 86 surgical PDAC cases and revealed the relationship between its expression and the prognosis of the PDAC patients. Furthermore, we overexpressed SPRR1A in pancreatic cancer cell lines (PK-1 and Panc-1) and assessed the phenotype and gene expression changes in vitro. Results Among the 84 cases, excluding 2 with squamous differentiation, 31 (36.9%) had a high SPRR1A expression. The overall survival (median 22.1 months vs. 33.6 months, p = 0.0357) and recurrence-free survival (median 10.7 months vs. 15.5 months, p = 0.0298) were significantly lower in the high-SPRR1A-expression group than in the low-SPRR1A-expression group. A multivariate analysis indicated that a high SPRR1A expression (HR 1.706, 95% CI 1.018 to 2.862, p = 0.0427) and residual tumor status (HR 2.687, 95% CI 1.487 to 4.855, p = 0.00106) were independent prognostic factors. The analysis of TCGA transcriptome data demonstrated that the high-SPRR1A-expression group had a significantly worse prognosis than the low-SPRR1A-expression group, which supported our data. SPRR1A overexpression in PK-1 and Panc-1 did not result in remarkable changes to in vitro phenotypes, such as the cell proliferation, chemo-resistance, EMT, migration or global gene expression. Conclusion Increased expression of SPRR1A is associated with a poor prognosis in PDAC and may serve as a novel prognostic marker. However, our in vitro study suggests that the SPRR1A expression may be a consequence, not a cause, of the aggressive behavior of PDAC.Public Library of Science (PLoS), May 2022, PLOS ONE, 17(5) (5), e0266620 - e0266620, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) concomitant with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is defined as PDAC occurring apart from IPMN. This study comprehensively investigated the molecular biologic characteristics of PDAC concomitant with IPMN in major genetic alterations, tumor microenvironment, and prognosis by contrast with those of conventional PDAC. METHODS: The study retrospectively reviewed the data of 158 surgically resected PDAC patients. The driver gene alteration status (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4, and GNAS) together with the immune and fibrotic status in tumor was evaluated. The prognosis of PDAC concomitant with IPMN and that of conventional PDAC also were compared. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found between PDAC concomitant with IPMN and conventional PDAC in the alteration frequency analysis of the major driver genes and the immune and fibrotic status in the tumor microenvironment. Overall survival and disease-free survival between patients who had PDAC concomitant with IPMN and those who had conventional PDAC did not show statistically significant differences in propensity-matched subjects. Furthermore, the co-existence of IPMN was not a poor prognostic factor in the multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95 % confidence interval, 0.51-1.78). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, PDAC concomitant with IPMN had tumor characteristics similar to those of conventional PDAC in terms of the major driver gene alterations, tumor microenvironment, and prognosis.May 2022, Annals of surgical oncology, 29(8) (8), 4924 - 4934, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for diverticulum-associated colorectal lesions is generally contraindicated because of the high risk of perforation. Several studies on patients with such lesions treated with ESD have been reported recently. However, the feasibility and safety of ESD for lesions in proximity to a colonic diverticulum (D-ESD) have not been fully clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of D-ESD. METHODS: D-ESD was defined as ESD for lesions within approximately 3 mm of a diverticulum. Twenty-six consecutive patients who underwent D-ESD were included. Two strategic approaches were used depending on whether submucosal dissection of the diverticulum-related part was required (strategy B) or not (strategy A). Treatment outcomes and adverse events associated with each strategy were analyzed. RESULTS: The en bloc resection rate was 96.2%. The rates of R0 and curative resection in strategies A and B were 80.8%, 73.1%, 84.6%, and 70.6%, respectively. Two cases of intraoperative perforation and one case of delayed perforation occurred. The delayed perforation case required emergency surgery, but the other cases were managed conservatively. CONCLUSION: D-ESD may be a feasible treatment option. However, it should be performed in a high-volume center by expert hands because it requires highly skilled endoscopic techniques.May 2022, Clinical endoscopy, 55(3) (3), 417 - 425, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Resistant starch (RS) has been reported to improve steatosis as well as obesity. Type 4 resistant starch (RS4), a chemically modified starch, is particularly hard to digest and suggesting higher efficacy. However, because the effects of RS4 on steatosis are not yet fully understood, the effects of RS4 on steatosis were examined using a murine high-fat diet model. Seven-week-old male mice were divided into three groups and fed a normal diet, a high-fat diet (HFD), or a high-fat diet with added RS (HFD + RS). Amylofiber SH® produced from acid-treated corn starch was used as the dietary RS. At 22 weeks old, hepatic steatosis and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) content and gut microbiota in cecum stool samples were analyzed. The ratio of body weight to 7 weeks was significantly suppressed in the HFD + RS group compared to the HFD group (132.2 ± 1.4% vs. 167.2 ± 3.9%, p = 0.0076). Macroscopic and microscopic steatosis was also suppressed in the HFD + RS group. Analysis of cecum stool samples revealed elevated SCFA levels in the HFD + RS group compared with the HFD group. Metagenome analysis revealed that Bifidobacterium (17.9 ± 1.9% vs. 3.6 ± 0.7%, p = 0.0019) and Lactobacillus (14.8 ± 3.4% vs. 0.72 ± 0.23%, p = 0.0045), which degrade RS to SCFA, were more prevalent in the HFD + RS group than the HFD group. In conclusion, RS4 suppressed steatosis, and increased Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, and SCFAs. RS4 may prevent steatosis by modulating the intestinal environment.May 2022, Journal of food science, 87(5) (5), 2173 - 2184, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Combined use of fibrin glue and polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets has attracted attention as a preventive measure for complications associated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, fibrin glue is a protein that may be dissolved by gastric acid. We evaluated the effect of artificial gastric acid on fibrin clot. The dissolution time of three layers of fibrin glue with PGA sheets was measured in five groups (pH 1.2, 2.0, 4.0, 5.5, and 6.0 with pepsin). Measurements of three samples per group were made. The mean number of the remaining layers at each measurement point was observed for 168 h. The time to complete dissolution of the three layers of fibrin gel in the three samples was 2.5 h at pH 1.2, 5 h at pH 2.0, 24 h at pH 4.0, and 48 h and 6 h at pH 5.5. In order to maintain fibrin glue in the stomach for a long period, there was a need to avoid pepsin activation secondary to acidification of gastric juice. The use of strong antacids is recommended.Apr. 2022, Scientific reports, 12(1) (1), 6986 - 6986, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIM: Pathological evaluation is essential for the diagnosis of biliary tract diseases. However, existing evaluation methods have various challenges in terms of operability and diagnostic performance. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, utility, and safety of a novel device delivery system for bile duct biopsy. METHODS: This study was conducted as a retrospective, descriptive analysis at a single center. Overall, 25 examinations in 14 consecutive patients who underwent transpapillary biopsies for biliary lesions using the novel device delivery system from July to November 2020 were reviewed. Number and time of biopsy, technical success rate, adequate tissue sampling rate, adverse events, and diagnostic performance of bile duct biopsies using the novel device were evaluated. Moreover, negative surgical margins were assessed in patients who underwent surgical resection after mapping biopsy. RESULTS: The median number of biopsy samples was five (range: 2-13), with a median biopsy time of 11.6 min. The technical success rate was 100% (140/140), with an adequate sampling rate of 82.9% (116/140). These rates did not differ depending on the biopsy site or purpose. There were no serious adverse events related to the procedures. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of biliary stricture were 90%, 100%, and 92.3%, respectively. Negative surgical margins were confirmed in all patients undergoing surgical resection, including one patient with a surgical procedure changed based on the results of mapping biopsy. CONCLUSIONS: The novel device delivery system has potentials in diagnosing biliary tract diseases and determining appropriate treatment strategies.Apr. 2022, Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 37(7) (7), 1360 - 1366, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Behçet's disease (BD) is a recurrent multisystem inflammatory disease. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α agents have been used to treat patients with intestinal BD with severe disease activity or those who are resistant to conventional treatments; however, the long-term efficacy of anti-TNFα agents in intestinal BD remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the clinical outcomes and predictors of discontinuation of anti-TNFα agents in patients with intestinal BD. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of patients with intestinal BD who received first-line anti-TNFα agents between January 2009 and June 2020. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients who continued anti-TNFα therapy for 48 weeks. Secondary outcomes included the percentage of patients who achieved marked improvement, complete remission, and mucosal healing, as well as predictors of discontinuation of anti-TNFα agents. RESULTS: A total of 29 patients were included in the study. Twenty-two (75.9%) patients continued anti-TNFα therapy for 48 weeks. The percentage of patients who achieved marked improvement, complete remission, and mucosal healing at week 48 was 48.3%, 37.9%, and 48.3%, respectively. At week 96, 11 (37.9%) patients achieved marked improvement, complete remission, and mucosal healing. A higher C-reactive protein level (CRP; ≥ 1 mg/dL) at baseline was a predictor of discontinuation of anti-TNFα agents. CONCLUSIONS: The 48-week continuation rate of anti-TNFα agents was 75.9% in bio-naïve patients with intestinal BD. However, a higher baseline CRP level (≥ 1 mg/dL) was associated with discontinuation of anti-TNFα agents.Mar. 2022, BMC gastroenterology, 22(1) (1), 149 - 149, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIM: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy is the new standard treatment option for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The clinical details and sequential course after atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy remain to be determined. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-four consecutive patients who received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy were evaluated. Their clinical outcomes were assessed according to liver function classified by modified albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade 1 and 2a (1/2a) versus 2b and treatment line (first-line versus second- or later-line). Furthermore, the treatment sequence after atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy was also assessed. RESULTS: The objective response and disease control rates were 15.6% and 93.8%, respectively. The median proportions of ALBI scores at 1, 2, and 3 months relative to the baseline scores were 0.94, 0.97, and 0.93, respectively. The median proportions of α-fetoprotein (AFP) scores at 1, 2, and 3 months relative to the baseline scores were 0.98, 1.12, and 1.83, respectively. There were no significant differences in the changes in the proportions of AFP and ALBI scores according to both liver function and treatment line. Twelve patients were administered lenvatinib treatment after the failure of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy. The proportions of AFP and ALBI scores at 1 month relative to the baseline scores were 0.55 and 0.81, respectively. CONCLUSION: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy can be effective for advanced HCC irrespective of the patients' liver function and treatment line. Lenvatinib administration after atezolizumab plus bevacizumab therapy can be effective, although special attention should be paid to the deterioration of liver function.Mar. 2022, Anticancer research, 42(3) (3), 1403 - 1412, English, International magazineScientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance of the extracellular volume (ECV) fraction in multiphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) for estimating histologic pancreatic fibrosis and predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). METHODS: Eighty-five patients (49 men; mean age, 69 years) who underwent multiphasic CE-CT followed by pancreaticoduodenectomy with pancreaticojejunal anastomosis between January 2012 and December 2018 were retrospectively included. The ECV fraction was calculated from absolute enhancements of the pancreas and aorta between the precontrast and equilibrium-phase images, followed by comparisons among histologic pancreatic fibrosis grades (F0‒F3). The diagnostic performance of the ECV fraction in advanced fibrosis (F2‒F3) was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of the risk of POPF development with patient characteristics, histologic findings, and CT imaging parameters. RESULTS: The mean ECV fraction of the pancreas was 34.4% ± 9.5, with an excellent intrareader agreement of 0.811 and a moderate positive correlation with pancreatic fibrosis (r = 0.476; p < 0.001). The mean ECV fraction in advanced fibrosis was significantly higher than that in no/mild fibrosis (44.4% ± 10.8 vs. 31.7% ± 6.7; p < 0.001), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis was 0.837. Twenty-two patients (25.9%) developed clinically relevant POPF. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the ECV fraction was a significant predictor of POPF. CONCLUSIONS: The ECV fraction can offer quantitative information for assessing pancreatic fibrosis and POPF after pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. KEY POINTS: • There was a moderate positive correlation of the extracellular volume (ECV) fraction of the pancreas in contrast-enhanced CT with the histologic grade of pancreatic fibrosis (r = 0.476; p < 0.001). • The ECV fraction was higher in advanced fibrosis (F2‒F3) than in no/mild fibrosis (F0‒F1) (p < 0.001), with an AUC of 0.837 for detecting advanced fibrosis. • The ECV fraction was an independent risk factor for predicting subclinical (odds ratio, 0.81) and clinical (odds ratio, 0.80) postoperative pancreatic fistula.Mar. 2022, European radiology, 32(3) (3), 1770 - 1780, English, International magazineScientific journal
- In response to the latest knowledge and the amendment of the Japanese diagnostic criteria for autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) in 2018, the Japanese consensus guidelines for managing AIP in 2013 were required to be revised. Three committees [the professional committee for developing clinical questions (CQs) and statements by Japanese specialists; the expert panelist committee for rating statements by the modified Delphi method; and the evaluating committee of moderators] were organized. Twenty specialists in AIP extracted the specific clinical statements from a total of 5218 articles (1963-2019) from a search in PubMed and the Cochrane Library. The professional committee made 14, 9, 5, and 11 CQs and statements for the current concept and diagnosis, extra-pancreatic lesions, differential diagnosis, and treatment, respectively. The expert panelists regarded the statements as valid after a two-round modified Delphi approach with individually rating these clinical statements, in which a clinical statement receiving a median score greater than 7 on a 9-point scale from the panel was regarded as valid. After evaluation by the moderators, the amendment of the Japanese consensus guidelines for AIP has been proposed in 2020.Feb. 2022, Journal of gastroenterology, 57(4) (4), 225 - 245, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Although checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) have changed the paradigm of cancer therapy, low response rates and serious systemic adverse events remain challenging. In situ vaccine (ISV), intratumoral injection of immunomodulators that stimulate innate immunity at the tumor site, allows for the development of vaccines in patients themselves. K3-SPG, a second-generation nanoparticulate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) ligand consisting of K-type CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) wrapped with SPG (schizophyllan), integrates the best of conventional CpG ODNs, making it an ideal cancer immunotherapy adjuvant. Focusing on clinical feasibility for pancreaticobiliary and gastrointestinal cancers, we investigated the antitumor activity of K3-SPG-ISV in preclinical models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). K3-SPG-ISV suppressed tumor growth more potently than K3-ISV or K3-SPG intravenous injections, prolonged survival, and enhanced the antitumor effect of CPIs. Notably, in PDAC model, K3-SPG-ISV alone induced systemic antitumor effect and immunological memory. ISV combination of K3-SPG and agonistic CD40 antibody further enhanced the antitumor effect. Our results imply that K3-SPG-based ISV can be applied as monotherapy or combined with CPIs to improve their response rate or, conversely, with CPI-free local immunotherapy to avoid CPI-related adverse events. In either strategy, the potency of K3-SPG-based ISV would provide the rationale for its clinical application to puncturable pancreaticobiliary and gastrointestinal malignancies.Feb. 2022, Scientific reports, 12(1) (1), 2132 - 2132, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Esophageal motility disorders are sometimes misdiagnosed on endoscopic examination. We aimed to identify the proportion of patients with esophageal motility disorders missed during endoscopy and their clinical characteristics. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with either disorder with esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction or major disorders of peristalsis using high-resolution manometry in our hospital from April 2015 to March 2021 were included in this study. Missed esophageal motility disorders were defined as patients with any endoscopic misdiagnosis such as normal esophagus or esophagitis within 1 year before the manometric diagnosis. We determined the proportion of missed esophageal motility disorders and identified independent predictors of missed esophageal motility disorders using multivariate analysis. RESULTS: A total of 41/273 esophageal motility disorders (15.0%; 95% confidence interval 11.3-19.7%) were missed during endoscopy within 1 year before manometric diagnosis. In the stepwise logistic regression analysis, the following variables were selected as independent variables for patients with missed esophageal motility disorders during endoscopy: non-dilated esophagus (odds ratio = 4.87, 95% confidence interval: 1.81-13.12, p = 0.002), the presence of epiphrenic diverticulum (odds ratio = 8.95, 95% confidence interval: 1.88-42.65, p = 0.006), the use of transnasal endoscopy (odds ratio = 4.71, 95% confidence interval: 1.59-13.92, p = 0.005), and the combined use of esophagram (odds ratio = 0.023, 95% confidence interval: 0.0025-0.20, p = 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS: Based on retrospective analysis, 15% of esophageal motility disorders were missed during endoscopy. Understanding the clinical characteristics of missed esophageal motility disorders could help improve endoscopic diagnoses.Jan. 2022, Esophagus, 19(3) (3), 486 - 492, English, Domestic magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The effectiveness of azathioprine (AZA) in preventing relapse and maintaining autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) remission has been reported; however, most of these studies are case series with no randomized control trials available in the literature. Therefore, this study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing literature on this subject to determine the clinical efficacy of AZA as maintenance therapy for AIP patients. A systematic search was performed to identify studies on the clinical efficacy of AZA as maintenance therapy in AIP patients. The crude multiple relapse rate was estimated to assess the ability of AZA to control relapses in AIP. Pooled estimates were obtained using a random-effects model with the DerSimonian-Laird method. We identified AIP patients who did not respond to initial steroid treatment, experienced steroid weaning failure, or those who relapsed during remission as refractory cases. After reviewing the studies, ten articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were selected for meta-analysis. Of all 4504 patients, 3534 patients were treated with steroids, and 346 patients were treated with AZA for relapsed AIP. In this meta-analysis, 14/73 (19.2%) patients receiving AZA for refractory AIP relapsed. Meanwhile, 14/47 (29.8%) patients without AZA experienced relapse. The integrated odds ratio for relapse risk in patients receiving AZA was estimated to be 0.52 (p = 0.15). This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated the efficacy of AZA in preventing relapse of AIP, which supports the use of AZA as a maintenance treatment in patients with AIP who relapse upon withdrawal of steroid therapy.Oct. 2021, Journal of gastroenterology, 56(10) (10), 869 - 880, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIM: While there is increasing evidence supporting the role of several first- and second-line treatment regimens for advanced hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), the clinical relevance of rechallenge treatment with previously administered drugs, however, remains to be explored. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five consecutive patients with advanced HCC who received lenvatinib rechallenge treatment after ramucirumab were assessed. RESULTS: All patients were clinically diagnosed with failure after ramucirumab treatment, and the frequencies of ramucirumab administration before lenvatinib re-administration ranged from 3 to 11. The alfa-fetoprotein level in four of five patients decreased 1 month after the lenvatinib rechallenge. Radiological findings via the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors showed stable diseases in four patients and a partial response in one. CONCLUSION: Rechallenge treatment with lenvatinib after ramucirumab can be effective, and may be a treatment option for HCC in cases wherein the disease progressed after an initial response to lenvatinib treatment.Sep. 2021, Anticancer research, 41(9) (9), 4555 - 4562, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Background/Aims: The anastomotic site after distal gastrectomy is the area most affected by duodenogastric reflux. Different reconstruction methods may affect the lesion characteristics and treatment outcomes of remnant gastric cancers at the anastomotic site. We retrospectively investigated the clinicopathologic and endoscopic submucosal dissection outcomes of remnant gastric cancers at the anastomotic site.Methods: We recruited 34 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for remnant gastric cancer at the anastomotic site after distal gastrectomy. Clinicopathology and treatment outcomes were compared between the Billroth II and non-Billroth II groups.Results: The tumor size in the Billroth II group was significantly larger than that in the non-Billroth II group (22 vs. 19 mm; p=0.048). More severe gastritis was detected endoscopically in the Billroth II group (2 vs. 1.33; p=0.0075). Moreover, operation time was longer (238 vs. 121 min; p=0.004) and the frequency of bleeding episodes was higher (7.5 vs. 3.1; p=0.014) in the Billroth II group.Conclusions: Compared to remnant gastric cancers in non-Billroth II patients, those in the Billroth II group had larger lesions with a background of severe remnant gastritis.

- The acquisition of mesenchymal traits leads to immune evasion in various cancers, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we found that the expression levels of AT-rich interaction domain-containing protein 5a (Arid5a), an RNA-binding protein, were substantially increased in mesenchymal tumor subtypes. The deletion of Arid5a in tumor cell lines enhanced antitumor immunity in immunocompetent mice, but not in immunodeficient mice, suggesting a role for Arid5a in immune evasion. Furthermore, an Arid5a-deficient tumor microenvironment was shown to have robust antitumor immunity, as manifested by suppressed infiltration of granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells. In addition, infiltrated T cells were more cytotoxic and less exhausted. Mechanistically, Arid5a stabilized Ido1 and Ccl2 mRNAs and augmented their expression, resulting in enhanced tryptophan catabolism and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Thus, our findings demonstrate the role of Arid5a beyond inflammatory diseases and suggest Arid5a as a promising target for the treatment of immunotolerant malignant tumors.See related Spotlight by Van den Eynde, p. 854.Aug. 2021, Cancer immunology research, 9(8) (8), 862 - 876, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), anastomotic biliary stricture is a serious and refractory complication. In this study, we reviewed the transition of post-LDLT anastomotic biliary strictures and evaluated long-term outcome of stent placement inside the bile duct, which is referred to as an "inside-stent". METHODS: Of 805 consecutive adult LDLT recipients in our institution (2000-2018), we reviewed 639 patients with duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction and analyzed chronological changes of post-LDLT biliary strictures. Moreover, we focused on 2006 when various surgical modifications were introduced and compared the details of post-LDLT biliary strictures before and after 2006, especially focusing on the long-term outcome of inside-stent placement. RESULTS: The proportion of left-lobe grafts had increased from 1.8% before 2005 to 39.3% after 2006 (P < 0.001) to maximize the living-donor safety. Overall, post-LDLT anastomotic biliary strictures occurred in 21.3% of the patients with a median follow-up period of 106.1 months, which was decreased from 32.6% before 2005 to 12.8% after 2006 (P < 0.001). Anastomotic biliary strictures were less in patients with a left-lobe graft than with a right-lobe (9.4% vs. 25.4%, P < 0.001). The overall technical success rate of inside-stent placement was 82.4%, with an improvement from 75.3% before 2005 up to 95.7% after 2006 (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the stricture resolution rate remained high at approximately 90% throughout the observation period. CONCLUSION: Increased use of left-lobe grafts with several surgical modifications significantly reduced post-LDLT anastomotic biliary strictures, leading to favorable long-term outcome of inside-stent placement for this condition.Jul. 2021, Liver transplantation : official publication of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the International Liver Transplantation Society, 28(1) (1), 88 - 97, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Specifying the exact localization of insulinoma remains challenging due to the lack of insulinoma-specific imaging methods. Recently, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R)-targeted imaging, especially positron emission tomography (PET), has emerged. Although various radiolabeled GLP-1R agonist exendin-4-based probes with chemical modifications for PET imaging have been investigated, an optimal candidate probe and its scanning protocol remain a necessity. Thus, we investigated the utility of a novel exendin-4-based probe conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) for [18F]FB(ePEG12)12-exendin-4 PET imaging for insulinoma detection. We utilized [18F]FB(ePEG12)12-exendin-4 PET/CT to visualize mouse tumor models, which were generated using rat insulinoma cell xenografts. The probe demonstrated high uptake value on the tumor as 37.1 ± 0.4%ID/g, with rapid kidney clearance. Additionally, we used Pdx1-Cre;Trp53R172H;Rbf/f mice, which developed endogenous insulinoma and glucagonoma, since they enabled differential imaging evaluation of our probe in functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. In this model, our [18F]FB(ePEG12)12-exendin-4 PET/CT yielded favorable sensitivity and specificity for insulinoma detection. Sensitivity: 30-min post-injection 66.7%, 60-min post-injection 83.3%, combined 100% and specificity: 30-min post-injection 100%, 60-min post-injection 100%, combined 100%, which was corroborated by the results of in vitro time-based analysis of internalized probe accumulation. Accordingly, [18F]FB(ePEG12)12-exendin-4 is a promising PET imaging probe for visualizing insulinoma.Jul. 2021, Scientific reports, 11(1) (1), 15014 - 15014, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Afferent loop obstruction (ALO) is defined as duodenal or jejunal mechanical obstruction at the proximal anastomosis site of a gastrojejunostomy. With advances in chemotherapy, the incidence of malignant ALO is increasing. Malignant ALO can be complicated by ischemia, gangrenous bowel, pancreatitis, and ascending cholangitis. Moreover, the general condition of patients with recurrent cancer is often poor. Therefore, accurate and rapid diagnosis and minimally invasive treatments are required. However, no review articles on the diagnosis and treatment of malignant ALO have been published. Through literature searching, we reviewed related articles published between 1959 and 2020 in the PubMed database. Herein, we present recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant ALO and describe future perspectives. Endoscopic transluminal self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement is considered the standard treatment for malignant ALO, as this procedure is well established and less invasive. However, with the development of interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in recent years, the usefulness of EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy has been reported. Moreover, through indirect comparison, this approach has been reported to be superior to transluminal SEMS placement. It is expected that a safer and less invasive treatment method will be established through the continued advancement and innovation of interventional endoscopy techniques.Jul. 2021, World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 13(7) (7), 684 - 692, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Notch/Hes1 signaling has been shown to play a role in determining the fate of pancreatic progenitor cells. However, its function in postnatal pancreatic maturation is not fully elucidated. METHODS: We generated conditional Hes1 knockout and/or Notch intracellular domain (NICD) overexpression mice in Ptf1a- or Pdx1-positive pancreatic progenitor cells and analyzed pancreatic tissues. RESULTS: Both Ptf1acre/+; Hes1f/f and Ptf1acre/+; Rosa26NICD mice showed normal pancreatic development at P0. However, exocrine tissue of the pancreatic tail in Ptf1acre/+; Hes1f/f mice atrophied and was replaced by fat tissue by 4 weeks of age, with increased apoptotic cells and fewer centroacinar cells. This impaired exocrine development was completely rescued by NICD overexpression in Ptf1acre/+; Hes1f/f; Rosa26NICD mice, suggesting compensation by a Notch signaling pathway other than Hes1. Conversely, Pdx1-Cre; Hes1f/f mice showed impaired postnatal exocrine development in both the pancreatic head and tail, revealing that the timing and distribution of embryonic Hes1 expression affects postnatal exocrine tissue development. CONCLUSIONS: Notch signaling has an essential role in pancreatic progenitor cells for the postnatal maturation of exocrine tissue, partly through the formation of centroacinar cells.Jul. 2021, Journal of gastroenterology, 56(7) (7), 673 - 687, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of reducing clinical impacts of acute necrotic collection (ANC) on patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) using recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM). METHODS: In this retrospective multicenter study, 233 consecutive AP patients with ANC and acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) from 2012 to 2016 were enrolled. To assess clinical impacts of ANC, severity on admission (JPN score, JPN CT grade, and Modified CT severity index), development of walled-off necrosis (WON), imaging costs for follow-up, and mortality were recorded. Finally, we investigated whether rTM could reduce the clinical impacts, adjusting the severity using propensity analysis with Inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS: Patients with ANC developed WON with higher ratio than APFC (58/98 [59.2%] vs 20/135 [14.8%], OR = 8.3, P < .01]. Severity on admission and imaging costs for follow-up in ANC patients were significantly higher than those in APFC (P < .01). However, regarding mortality, there was no significant difference between patients with ANC and APFC (P = .41). Adjusting severity, it was revealed that rTM administration significantly reduced the risk of ANC developed WON (OR = 0.23, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS: While ANC had a higher clinical impact than that of APFC, we found that early administration of rTM may reduce the impact.Jun. 2021, Journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic sciences, 28(9) (9), 788 - 797, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND AND AIM: There have been studies on risk factors for stenosis after pyloric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, the most appropriate strategies for the management of cases with these risk factors have not been established. This study aimed to investigate post-ESD management by evaluating the timing of stenosis and the effectiveness of endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) after pyloric ESD. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed cases of pyloric ESD. We first reassessed risk factors for stenosis in multivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve and defined patients with the identified risk factors as the risk group. The primary outcome was the timing of stenosis in the risk group assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: We reviewed 159 cases with pyloric ESD and observed pyloric stenosis in 25 cases. Cases with circumferential mucosal defect ≥ 76% were identified as the risk group. The stenosis-free probability in the risk group was 97% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 79-100%), 94% (95% CI: 76-98%), and 85% (95% CI: 66-93%) on days 7, 14, and 21, respectively. It decreased every week thereafter and did not significantly change after day 56. Twenty-three stenosis cases, except for conservative improvement, including six whole circumferential pyloric ESD cases, were improved by EBD without complications. CONCLUSIONS: Post-ESD stenosis often developed from the third to the eighth week. In all pyloric ESD cases, including whole circumferential pyloric ESD cases, pyloric stenosis was improved following EBD without complications.Jun. 2021, Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 36(11) (11), 3158 - 3163, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) is essential for the management of malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO). We prospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of "inside-stent" therapy, where a plastic stent is placed above the sphincter of Oddi without endoscopic sphincterotomy, in patients with inoperable MHBO. METHODS: This study was a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial at three centers. Patients with inoperable MHBO were enrolled in this study, and randomly assigned to receive an inside-stent or conventional-stent therapy. The primary endpoint was cumulative stent patency of the initial stent. The secondary endpoints were second stent patency, technical and clinical success rate, adverse events, re-intervention rate, and overall patient survival. RESULTS: Forty-three patients were randomly assigned to the inside-stent group (n = 21) or the conventional-stent group (n = 22). The median cumulative stent patency of the initial stent was 123 days in the inside-stent group and 51 days in the conventional-stent group (P = .031). For patients with the initial stent dysfunction in the conventional-stent group, the inside-stent was placed as a second stent, and its patency was significantly longer than that of the initial stent (P = .0001). The technical and clinical success rate, re-intervention rate, second stent patency, adverse events, and survival probability did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Inside-stent therapy appears to be useful not only as an initial stent but also as a second stent for patients with inoperable MHBO.

- BACKGROUND: Despite a need for assessment of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) skills in order to track progress and determine competence, there is no structured measure of assessing competency in ESD performance. The present study aims to develop and examine validity evidence for an assessment tool to evaluate the recorded performance of ESD for gastric neoplasms. METHODS: The ESD video assessment tool (EVAT) was systematically developed by ESD experienced endoscopists. The EVAT consists of a 25-item global rating scale and 3-item checklist to assess competencies required to perform ESD. Five unedited videos were each evaluated by 2-blinded experienced ESD endoscopists to assess inter-rater reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Seventeen unedited videos in total were rated by 3 blinded experienced ESD endoscopists. Validity evidence for relationship to other variables was examined by comparing scores of inexperienced (fellows) and experienced endoscopists (attending staff), and by evaluating the relationship between the EVAT scores and ESD case experience. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS: The inter-rater reliability for the total score was high at 0.87 (95% confidence interval 0.11 to 0.99). The total score [median, interquartile range (IQR)] was significantly different between the inexperienced (71, 63-77) and experienced group (95, 91-97) (P = 0.005). The total scores demonstrated high correlation with the number of ESD cases (Spearman's ρ = 0.79, P < 0.01). The internal consistency was 0.97. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides preliminary validity evidence for the assessment of video-recorded ESD performances for gastric neoplasms using EVAT.Jun. 2021, Surgical endoscopy, 35(6) (6), 2671 - 2678, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND : Accurate preoperative assessment of the longitudinal extension of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) is essential for treatment planning. Mapping biopsies for PHCC remain challenging owing to technical difficulties and insufficient sample amounts. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a novel technique for mapping biopsies of PHCC. METHODS : Our novel method focused on a biliary stent delivery system for mapping biopsies. Fifty patients with PHCC undergoing endoscopic transpapillary mapping biopsy using the novel method were reviewed from August 2015 to June 2019. RESULTS : The median number of biopsy samples was six (range 1 - 17), and the rate of adequate sampling was 91.4 % (266 /291). Biopsy from the intrahepatic bile duct was possible in 82.0 % of patients (41 /50), and negative margins were confirmed in the resected specimens from 34 /39 patients who underwent surgery (87.2 %). None of the patients had post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis. CONCLUSIONS : With our novel method, accurate assessment of the longitudinal extension of PHCC might be expected with minimal trauma to the duodenal papilla.Jun. 2021, Endoscopy, 53(6) (6), 647 - 651, English, International magazineScientific journal
- PURPOSE: The risk factors and clinical characteristics of ICI-induced immune-mediated hepatotoxicity (IMH) are not fully understood. Thus, the present study sought to clarify the clinical features of IMH. METHODS: All patients treated with ICIs between September 2014 and April 2019 at our institution were included. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from medical records. The frequency of grade ≥ 2 liver damage, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for developing IMH were examined. RESULTS: Overall, 250 patients (median age 71 years; range 30-87 years; 202 males and 48 females) were included in the analyses. Forty-five patients had elevated transaminase levels (> threefold the upper limit of normal). Of these, 21 were considered to have IMH. The remaining 24 patients had other causes of elevated transaminase levels. Steroids were administered to 13/21 patients with IMH. Although all patients exhibited improvement, IMH was not associated with the anticancer efficacy of the ICIs or OS. A multivariable analysis revealed that IMH was significantly associated with malignant melanoma (odds ratio [OR] 11.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.5-38.0; P = 0.0002) and ipilimumab-nivolumab combination therapy (OR 61.2; 95% CI 7.9-1275.3; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Immune-mediated hepatotoxicity occurred in 9.5% of patients treated with ICIs. Appropriate therapeutic interventions are important to avoid affecting the patient's prognosis, and accurate diagnosis of IMH is essential for this purpose. The frequency of IMH varied according to the type of cancer and the drug used, and was significantly higher in patients with malignant melanoma and in patients given ipilimumab-nivolumab combination therapy.Jun. 2021, Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 147(6) (6), 1747 - 1756, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Ulcerative colitis is the most frequent type of inflammatory bowel disease and is characterized by colonic epithelial cell damage. Although involvement of autoimmunity has been suggested in ulcerative colitis, specific autoantigens/antibodies have yet to be elucidated. METHODS: Using 23 recombinant integrin proteins, we performed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays on sera from patients with ulcerative colitis and controls. Integrin expression and IgG binding in the colon tissues of patients with ulcerative colitis and controls were examined using immunofluorescence and coimmunoprecipitation, respectively. The blocking activity of autoantibodies was examined using solid-phase binding and cell adhesion assays. RESULTS: Screening revealed that patients with ulcerative colitis had IgG antibodies against integrin αvβ6. In the training and validation groups, 103 of 112 (92.0%) patients with ulcerative colitis and only 8 of 155 (5.2%) controls had anti-integrin αvβ6 antibodies (P < .001), resulting in a sensitivity of 92.0% and a specificity of 94.8% for diagnosing ulcerative colitis. Anti-integrin αvβ6 antibody titers coincided with ulcerative colitis disease activity, and IgG1 was the major subclass. Patient IgG bound to the integrin αvβ6 expressed on colonic epithelial cells. Moreover, IgG of patients with ulcerative colitis blocked integrin αvβ6-fibronectin binding through an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) tripeptide motif and inhibited cell adhesion. CONCLUSIONS: A significant majority of patients with ulcerative colitis had autoantibodies against integrin αvβ6, which may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity.Jun. 2021, Gastroenterology, 160(7) (7), 2383 - 2394, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Beta-catenin-activated hepatocellular adenoma is potentially malignant and warrants careful follow-up and surgical resection. Here, we report a 48-year-old man in whom a 55 mm single liver tumor was incidentally detected in the S1 segment. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans showed no enhancement in the early phase and a slight defection in the late phase. The tumor was enhanced hyperintensity in the hepatobiliary phase on Gd-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The histologic features of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy indicated hepatocellular adenoma, and the tumor was immunohistochemically positive for glutamine synthetase and β-catenin. Considering the risk of malignant transformation, he underwent laparoscopic-assisted partial liver resection. The resected tumor did not contain any malignant lesions. This case indicates that aspiration needle biopsy and immunohistochemistry were useful for histological diagnosis and treatment decisions based on the molecular definition of hepatocellular adenoma.Jun. 2021, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 14(3) (3), 831 - 835, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- A 78-year-old man who underwent right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 18 years ago visited our hospital complaining of abdominal pain. Imaging revealed that the pancreatic head tumor obstructed the Santorini duct. We suspected a pancreatic intraductal tumor, such as an intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Thus, the patient underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic RCC. Herein, we report a case of pancreatic metastasis of an RCC that presented with a tumor in the pancreatic duct.Jun. 2021, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 14(3) (3), 905 - 909, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a pancreatic manifestation of an IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). AIP lacks disease-specific biomarkers, and therefore, it is difficult to distinguish AIP from malignancies, especially pancreatic cancer. In this review, we have summarized the latest findings on potential diagnostic biomarkers for AIP. Many investigations have been conducted, but no specific biomarkers for AIP are identified. Therefore, further studies are required to identify accurate diagnostic biomarkers for AIP.Apr. 2021, Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 11(5) (5), English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for remnant gastric cancer (RGC) after distal gastrectomy (DG) is considered technically challenging due to the narrow working space, and severe fibrosis and staples from the previous surgery. Technical difficulties of ESD for RGC after DG have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to develop and validate a risk-scoring system for assessing the technical difficulty of ESD for RGC after DG in a large multicenter cohort. METHODS: We investigated patients who underwent ESD for RGC after DG in 10 institutions between April 2008 and March 2018. A difficult case was defined as ESD lasting ≥ 120 min, involving piecemeal resection, or the occurrence of perforation during the procedure. A risk-scoring system for the technical difficulty of the procedure was developed based on multiple logistic regression analyses, and its performance was internally validated using bootstrapping. RESULTS: A total of 197 consecutive patients with 201 lesions were analyzed. There were 90 and 111 difficult and non-difficult cases, respectively. The scoring model consisted of four independent risk factors and points of risk scores were assigned for each as follows: tumor size > 20 mm: 2 points; anastomosis site: 2 points; suture line: 1 point; and non-expert endoscopist: 2 points. The C-statistics of the scoring system for technical difficulty was 0.72. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a validated risk-scoring model for predicting the technical difficulty of ESD for RGC after DG that can contribute to its safer and more reliable performance.Apr. 2021, Surgical endoscopy, 36(2) (2), 1482 - 1489, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: The outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy for advanced achalasia are not well known. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia with megaesophagus, which is one of the characteristics of advanced achalasia. METHODS: In total, 234 patients with achalasia who underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy in our hospital from April 2015 to March 2019 were included in this retrospective observational study. Megaesophagus was defined as a maximum esophageal diameter of 6 cm or more. Outcomes, including clinical success (Eckardt score ≤ 3 without retreatment) at the 1-year follow-up, technical success, and perioperative complications, were investigated and compared between patients with and without megaesophagus. RESULTS: Eleven patients (4.7%) were diagnosed with megaesophagus. The clinical success rate achieved was 63.6% in patients with megaesophagus, with a significant decrease in the Eckardt score (6 vs. 2, p = 0.003) and integrated relaxation pressure (28 mmHg vs. 9 mmHg, p = 0.028). The technical success rate was 100%. However, patients with megaesophagus had a significantly lower clinical success rate than those without megaesophagus (63.6% vs. 96.0%, p = 0.002). Furthermore, patients with megaesophagus had significantly higher rates of major adverse events than those without megaesophagus (18.2% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS: Peroral endoscopic myotomy improved achalasia-related symptoms, and this was technically feasible in patients with megaesophagus. However, the clinical success rate was somewhat low, and the rate of major adverse events was high. Therefore, peroral endoscopic myotomy should be carefully performed for advanced achalasia with megaesophagus.Apr. 2021, Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- An 80-year old man with myelofibrosis and chronic renal disease was admitted to our hospital because of severe anemia and gastrointestinal bleeding. Although no bleeding was observed by upper or lower endoscopy, contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an enhanced area in the small intestinal wall that was suspected of being the bleeding site, and was confirmed by double-balloon endoscopy. Based on endoscopic findings, it was difficult to differentiate between variceal rupture and collapse of a submucosal tumor. We performed segmental resection of the small intestine to make a definitive diagnosis and achieve reliable hemostasis. The gross findings confirmed a variceal rupture from the small intestine. His gastrointestinal bleeding stopped and his anemia improved following surgery. Although some cases of portal hypertension in association with myelofibrosis have been reported, we are aware of no prior reports of variceal rupture in the small intestine. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ectopic jejunal varices in a patient with myelofibrosis.Apr. 2021, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 14(2) (2), 542 - 545, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Surgical resection of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is strongly recommended for patients exhibiting high-risk stigmata (HRS). However, determining surgical indications for elderly patients with comorbidities is challenging, as clinical outcomes are not well characterized. This multicenter observational study elucidated the clinical outcomes of patients with IPMN exhibiting HRS who did not undergo surgery. METHODS: This study enrolled 101 IPMN patients exhibiting HRS with follow-up observations at 11 hospitals in Japan (2011-2016). The median observation period was 37 months (maximum: 86 months). Primary outcomes were estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Survival was also stratified based on HRS features. RESULTS: Of 101 patients, 32 (31.7%) had the main pancreatic duct (MPD) measuring ≥ 10 mm and 80 (79.2%) had mural nodules measuring ≥ 5 mm. The estimated 5-year OS and DSS were 74% and 91%, respectively. In the stratified analysis, the co-presence of MPD ≥ 10 mm and mural nodules ≥ 5 mm or mural nodule ≥ 10 mm were related to worse 5-year DSS (MPD ≥ 10 mm and mural nodules ≥ 5 mm vs other characteristics: 60% vs 95%, log-rank test: p = 0.049; mural nodules ≥ 10 mm vs < 10 mm: 77% vs 95%, log-rank test: p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: The estimated 5-year DSS of conservatively managed IPMN patients with mural nodules and main duct dilation was 91%. Only IPMN patients with plural HRS or large nodule formation might have an increased mortality risk. This is an important insight that can help facilitate appropriate clinical decision-making, especially in the elderly or high-surgical risk IPMN patients.Mar. 2021, Journal of gastroenterology, 56(3) (3), 285 - 292, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Daikenchuto (DKT) is one of the most widely used "Kampo" in Japan as a representative of herbal medicine. Because DKT is made from a natural product like food, it requires the management of pesticides; therefore, an analysis of residual pesticides in Kampo is required. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that pesticide residue analysis by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) is required. USP defines 107 compounds containing organochlorine pesticides and organophosphorus pesticides and their metabolites, which have a high residual risk. Accordingly, to guarantee the safety of herbal medicines according to global standards is a very important issue. In this study, we developed an analytical method for 91 compounds, which are listed in USP, using DKT as the subject. The method could extract pesticides from DKT with acetone, elute pesticides with acetonitrile using a SepPak C18 column (5 g) and with ethyl acetate using a DSC-NH2 column (2 g), and perform simultaneous analyses by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). This method, which could quantify 88 compounds, was validated according to USP. A pesticide residue analysis method that meets USP requirements enables the analysis of pesticide residues with a high residue risk and contributes to improving the safety of "Kampo" and other herbal medicines.Mar. 2021, Journal of natural medicines, 75(2) (2), 344 - 360, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Background and study aims Adequate mucosal elevation by submucosal injection is crucial for patient safety and efficiency during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of fibrin glue (FG) as a long-lasting submucosal injection agent and to evaluate the technical feasibility of FG injection for ESD. Materials and methods To compare the capabilities of different agents in maintaining submucosal evaluation, we injected FG, hyaluronic acid solution, and normal saline into the porcine gastric specimen that was incised into approximately 5 × 5 cm squares. Then, we measured the height of submucosal elevations over time. Moreover, three hypothetical lesions from the resected porcine stomach underwent ESD with FG injection. Thereafter, we conducted macroscopic and histopathologic analyses. Results FG maintained the greatest submucosal elevation among all the injection agents. Three ESD procedures were performed with en bloc resection. Both macroscopic and histopathologic findings showed a thick FG clot on the ulcers. Conclusions The FG solution can be potentially used as an ESD submucosal injection agent in an in vitro model.Mar. 2021, Endoscopy international open, 9(3) (3), E319-E323, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Although postoperative strictures after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the rectum are relatively rare, some rectal lesions require resection involving the anal canal, which is a narrow tract comprising squamous epithelium. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have investigated narrow anal canals when evaluating post-ESD strictures. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of resections involving the anal canal on postoperative stricture development. METHODS: Between April 2005 and October 2017, 707 rectal lesions were treated with ESD. We retrospectively investigated 102 lesions that required ≥ 75% circumferential resection. Risk factors for post-ESD stricture and, among patients with strictures, obstructive symptoms, and number of dilation therapies required were investigated. RESULTS: Post-ESD stricture occurred in 18 of 102 patients (17.6%). In the multivariate analysis, circumferential resection ≥ 90% and ESD involving the anal canal (ESD-IAC) were risk factors for postoperative strictures (P ≤ 0.0001 and 0.0115, respectively). Among the patients with strictures, obstructive symptoms were significantly related to anal strictures compared to rectal strictures (100% vs. 27.2%, P = 0.0041). Furthermore, the number of dilation therapies required was significantly greater among patients with anal strictures compared to those with rectal strictures (6.5 times vs. 2.7 times, P = 0.0263). CONCLUSION: Not only circumferential resection ≥ 90% but also ESD-IAC was a significant risk factor for the stricture after rectal ESD. Furthermore, anal strictures were associated with a significantly higher frequency of obstructive symptoms and larger number of required dilation therapies than were rectal strictures.Mar. 2021, Surgical endoscopy, 35(3) (3), 1307 - 1316, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors (D-LECS) has been developed to prevent duodenal leakage by reinforcing the endoscopic submucosal dissection site. However, there has been no prospective trial showing the feasibility of D-LECS. Herein, we conducted a single-arm confirmatory trial to evaluate the safety of D-LECS for non-ampullary superficial duodenal neoplasms. METHODS: This prospective single-center single-arm confirmatory trial analyzed patients with non-ampullary superficial duodenal neoplasms who underwent D-LECS. The primary endpoint was the incidence of any postoperative leakage occurring on the duodenal wall within 1 month postoperatively. The planned sample size was 20 patients, considering a threshold of 28% and one-sided alpha value of 5%. RESULTS: Between January 2015 and September 2018, 20 eligible patients were enrolled. Sixteen tumors were located in the second portion, three in the first portion, and one in the third portion of the duodenal region. The median operative time was 225 (134-361) min and the median blood loss was 0 (0-150) mL. Curative resection (R0) with negative margins was achieved in 19 cases. One case of postoperative leakage and one case of bleeding of grade 2 according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were observed in this series. The median duration of postoperative hospital stay was 9 (5-12) days. No local recurrence was observed in any patient during the median follow-up of 15.0 (12.0-38.0) months. CONCLUSIONS: This trial confirmed the safety and feasibility of D-LECS for non-ampullary superficial duodenal neoplasms with respect to the low incidence of postoperative duodenal leakage.Mar. 2021, Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, 33(3) (3), 373 - 380, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- A 72-year-old man underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located on the S6 segment. He had a history of anti-viral therapy for hepatitis C virus and was being treated for diabetes mellitus with inadequate control. On day 28 after TACE, he visited our hospital again, with complaints of fever and abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant. Blood examination showed elevated levels of white blood cells and C-reactive protein. Computed tomography showed a poorly marginated, low-density lesion measuring 9.5 × 8.0 × 4.0 cm, forming multiple small gas bubbles, located superiorly, and in contact with HCC treated by TACE. Ultrasound-guided puncture revealed whiffy and muddy pus. Gram staining of the pus showed the presence of numerous gram-positive rods, which were identified as Cutibacterium namnetense. He underwent percutaneous trans-hepatic abscess drainage and received antibiotics treatment. The abscess was successfully treated, and he was discharged on day 19. The incidence of liver abscess after TACE is rare, and intestinal microbiota have been reported to be the common pathogens. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of liver abscess caused by Cutibacterium namnetense.Feb. 2021, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 14(1) (1), 246 - 250, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective treatment for esophageal motility disorder. However, some people are poor responders who will probably need retreatments, such as endoscopic pneumatic dilation or re-POEM, and a scoring system for the prediction of poor responders preoperatively has not yet been established. We aimed to develop and validate a preoperative scoring system for predicting poor responders. METHODS: Overall, 244 patients who underwent POEM for esophageal motility disorders in our hospital from April 2015 to March 2019 were retrospectively included in this study. Poor responders were defined as patients with any of following: (1) Eckardt score ≥3 at 1-year follow-up, (2) endoscopic findings of food retention at 1-year follow-up, and (3) retreatments within 1 year after POEM. A risk-scoring system for poor responders was developed based on multiple logistic regression analysis, and its performance was internally validated using bootstrapping. RESULTS: Forty patients were diagnosed as poor responders at the 1-year follow-up. In the multivariate study, points for risk scores were assigned for 4 independent risk factors as follows: pretreatment Eckardt score (1-point increments), previous treatments (4 points), sigmoid-type esophagus (4 points), and esophageal dilation grade ≥II (4 points). The scoring system could predict an estimated risk for poor responders and provided satisfactory discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.68-0.88) and calibration (slope = 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-1.31). CONCLUSIONS: A validated risk-scoring system for predicting poor responders preoperatively was established; this system could be useful for selecting treatment strategies and postoperative surveillance.Feb. 2021, Gastrointestinal endoscopy, 93(2) (2), 398 - 405, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare disease, characterized by intractable diarrhea, villous atrophy of the small intestine, and the presence of circulating anti-enterocyte autoantibodies. Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome, and mutations in FOXP3, which is a master gene of regulatory T cells (Tregs), are major causes of AIE. Recent studies have demonstrated that mutations in other Treg-associated genes, such as CD25 and CTLA4, show an IPEX-like phenotype. We present the case of a 13-year-old girl with CTLA4 haploinsufficiency, suffering from recurrent immune thrombocytopenic purpura and intractable diarrhea. We detected an autoantibody to the AIE-related 75 kDa antigen (AIE-75), a hallmark of the IPEX syndrome, in her serum. She responded well to a medium dose of prednisolone and a controlled dose of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), even after the cessation of prednisolone administration. Serum levels of the soluble interleukin-2 receptor and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were useful in monitoring disease activity during 6-MP therapy. In conclusion, autoimmune-mediated mechanisms, similar to the IPEX syndrome, may be involved in the development of enteropathy in CTLA4 haploinsufficiency. Treatment with 6-MP and monitoring of disease activity using serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor and IgG is suggested for such cases.Jan. 2021, Intestinal research, 20(1) (1), 144 - 149, English, International magazine
- Effect of Daikenchuto On Spontaneous Intestinal Tumors in ApcMin/+ Mice.Daikenchuto (TU-100) is herbal medicine which predominantly contains ginger, Japanese pepper, and ginseng. We investigated whether TU-100 can affect the composition of gut flora and intestinal tumor development using ApcMin/+ mice, a murine model of intestinal tumor. Bacterial 16S rRNA sequencing and short-chain fatty acid analysis were performed on faecal samples. Tumor number and size were analysed. Any change in gene expression of the tumor tissues was assessed by real-time PCR. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) showed that the faecal microbiota cluster of TU-100-fed mice was different from the microbiota of control mice. However, no significant difference was observed in the concentration of short-chain fatty acids, tumor number, and gene expression levels between the two groups. Our data showed that TU-100 can affect the intestinal environment; however, it does not contribute in tumor progression or inhibition in our setting.Jan. 2021, The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 66(4) (4), E139-E148, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIMS: Application of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets using fibrin glue in post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) ulcers to prevent bleeding has been reported to be difficult with the conventional delivery method because of gravity. This study assessed the usefulness of the envelope-based delivery system with and against gravity in living pigs. METHODS: PGA sheets were applied on post-ESD ulcers with and against gravity six times each using the conventional and envelope methods, respectively. The PGA sheet delivery time and the endoscopic and histological findings of the treated ulcer floors were compared. RESULTS: With gravity, the median PGA sheet application time was 1.00 (0.68-1.30) min/cm2 and 0.32 (0.18-0.52) min/cm2 with the conventional and envelope techniques (p=0.002), respectively, and against gravity, it was 1.20 (1.13-1.63) min/cm2 and 0.50 (0.39-0.58) min/cm2 (p=0.002), respectively. Against gravity, the endoscopic and histological findings revealed that the conventional group had insufficient fixation of the PGA sheets, but the envelope groups had sufficient fixation. The results with gravity were similar between the groups. CONCLUSION: The envelope method makes it possible to deliver PGA sheets to the stomach quickly and cover ulcers appropriately both with and against gravity in living pigs.Jan. 2021, Clinical endoscopy, 54(1) (1), 64 - 72, English, International magazineScientific journal
- PURPOSE: We conducted a phase 1 study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose of gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel/S-1 combination chemotherapy in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. METHODS: We enrolled patients aged 20 years or older with unresectable pancreatic cancer and who had not been treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel were administered on days 1 and 8, and S-1 was administered orally twice daily for 2 weeks, repeated every 3 weeks. The starting dose was level 0 [gemcitabine 700 mg/m2, nab-paclitaxel 90 mg/m2, S-1 60/80/100 mg/day (< 1.25 m2/1.25-1.50 m2/ > 1.5 m2)]. Dose-limiting toxicities were determined during the first course, and a classical 3 + 3 dose finding design was planned. RESULTS: From March 2018 to October 2019, 20 patients were enrolled. At dose level 0, three of six patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities; one grade 3 skin rash on day 8, and two grade 3 or 4 neutropenia on day 8. At dose level-1 (gemcitabine 600 mg/m2, nab-paclitaxel 90 mg/m2, and S-1 50/70/80 mg/day), two of twelve patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities, all of which were grade 3 neutropenia on day 8. The most frequently observed toxicity during eight courses was neutropenia. Other treatment-related adverse events were mild. Eleven out of 19 (58%) patients achieved partial response. CONCLUSION: We defined the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for combination therapy with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel/S-1 as dose level-1. Considering the observed response rate, further studies are warranted in order to determine the efficacy of this regimen (UMIN-CTR 000030007).Jan. 2021, Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 87(1) (1), 65 - 71, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Drug-induced pancreatitis is often mild to moderate in severity, but severe and even fatal cases can occur. Here, we report a 74-year-old woman undergoing chemotherapy for recurrent renal cell carcinoma, who presented with abdominal pain after administration of pazopanib following nivolumab and was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis. Administration of methylprednisolone and conservative treatment were initiated, but clinical findings and laboratory tests rapidly worsened. When she died, an autopsy was performed. The autopsy findings suggested the possibility of pancreatitis as immune-related adverse events. To the best of our knowledge, no fatal cases of acute pancreatitis due to nivolumab or pazopanib have been reported. We considered that the effects of nivolumab were sustained in the pancreas, and pazopanib administration might have worsened the toxicity.Jan. 2021, Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ...

- BACKGROUND: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is associated with acute pancreatitis (AP) in some cases, however its causes have not been fully elucidated. We investigated the association of the incidence of AP with epithelial subtypes and pancreatic volume in IPMN. METHODS: This retrospective study included 182 consecutive surgically resected IPMN patients between January 2000 and December 2018. The relationship between the incidence of AP and epithelial subtypes of IPMN and pancreatic volume was investigated. Epithelial subtypes of IPMN were classified into gastric (G type: N = 116), intestinal (I type: N = 49), pancreatobiliary (PB type: N = 14), and oncocytic types (O type: N = 3). Pancreatic volume of the contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan was measured using Ziostation2 software. Histological pancreatic parenchymal atrophy was also evaluated. RESULTS: AP occurred more frequently in I-types (I-type vs. G-type, 22.4% [11/49] vs 3.4% [4/116], P = 0.003) and PB-types (PB type vs. G-type, 35.7% [5/14] vs. 3.4% [4/116], P = 0.007) in comparison with G-types, which constituted the majority of the resected IPMNs. AP occurred more frequently in I-type patients with high pancreatic volumes (I-type with high pancreatic volume vs. I-type with low pancreatic volume, 37.0% [10/27] vs. 4.7% [1/21], P = 0.02). However, histological atrophy did not show an additional influence on the association between the incidence of AP and epithelial subtypes. The elevation of serum pancreatic enzymes was not significantly related to epithelial subtypes. CONCLUSION: Epithelial subtypes and the degree of pancreatic volume may be closely associated with the incidence of AP in IPMN.Jan. 2021, Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ...

- BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recognized as a minimally invasive and curative treatment for superficial gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. However, ESD is still challenging and time-consuming with a high risk of adverse events such as bleeding and perforation. Various traction methods have been explored for maintaining good visualization of the submucosal layer during ESD. We developed a novel traction device (the EndoTrac) which can easily tie the thread and has the ability to change the towing direction. The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and feasibility of ESD using the EndoTrac for GI neoplasms. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 44 patients (45 lesions) with esophageal, gastric, duodenal, and colorectal neoplasms who had undergone ESD using the EndoTrac device between June 2018 and May 2019. Primary outcome measures were preparation time, procedural success using the EndoTrac device, and ease of ability to change towing direction. RESULTS: Mean preparation time was 2 (2-5) min in esophagus, 3 (1-5) min in stomach, 6 (5-9) min in duodenum, and 4 (2-8) min in colorectum. The procedural success rate was 100% (8/8) in esophagus, 100% (21/21) in stomach, 100% (4/4) in duodenum, and 100% (12/12) in colorectum. The rate of successful towing to both proximal and distal sides was 100% (8/8) in esophagus, 100% (21/21) in stomach, 0% (0/4) in duodenum, and 100% (12/12) in colorectum. CONCLUSIONS: Use of the EndoTrac device appears to be a feasible approach to ESD for GI neoplasms.Dec. 2020, Digestion, 1 - 8, English, International magazineScientific journal

- A 60-year-old male visited a previous hospital with upper abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with localized mild acute pancreatitis. Three months later, abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed focal parenchymal atrophy of the pancreas with distal pancreatic duct dilation. No obvious solid mass could be found at the site of the pancreatic duct stenosis on imaging examinations. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography showed focal mild stenosis with distal pancreatic duct dilation in the tail of the pancreas. Carcinoma in situ of the pancreas was strongly suspected, especially based on the presence of focal atrophy of the pancreas around the site of stenosis of the main pancreatic duct and the distal pancreatic duct dilation. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was performed. Histologically, high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia was found in the epithelium of the stenotic main pancreatic duct and its branches. This case suggests that localized acute pancreatitis and focal atrophy of the pancreas with distal dilation of the pancreatic duct could be important clinical manifestations of pancreatic carcinoma in situ.Dec. 2020, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 13(6) (6), 1338 - 1342, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is frequently driven by aberrant KRAS activation and develops in the liver with chronic inflammation. Although the Notch signaling pathway is critically involved in ICC development, detailed mechanisms of Notch-driven ICC development are still unknown. Here, we use mice whose Notch signaling is genetically engineered to show that the Notch signaling pathway, specifically the Notch/Hes1 axis, plays an essential role in expanding ductular cells in the liver with chronic inflammation or oncogenic Kras activation. Activation of Notch1 enhanced the development of proliferating ductal cells (PDC) in injured livers, while depletion of Hes1 led to suppression. In correlation with PDC expansion, ICC development was also regulated by the Notch/Hes1 axis and suppressed by Hes1 depletion. Lineage-tracing experiments using EpcamcreERT2 mice further confirmed that Hes1 plays a critical role in the induction of PDC and that ICC could originate from PDC. Analysis of human ICC specimens showed PDC in nonneoplastic background tissues, confirming HES1 expression in both PDC and ICC tumor cells. Our findings provide novel direct experimental evidence that Hes1 plays an essential role in the development of ICC via PDC. SIGNIFICANCE: This study contributes to the identification of the cells of origin that initiate ICC and suggests that HES1 may represent a therapeutic target in ICC.Dec. 2020, Cancer research, 80(23) (23), 5305 - 5316, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Adrenic acid (ADA), which is an endogenously synthesized polyunsaturated free fatty acid, was significantly increased in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients and NAFLD-model mice compared with the corresponding controls in our previous study. To elucidate the involvement of ADA in NAFLD and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), we examined ADA-induced lipotoxicity in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. The ROS production in HepG2 cells was increased by exposure to ADA. It was also shown that the treatment with ADA decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. The N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine pretreatment counteracted this ADA-induced ROS production and cell death. Furthermore, ADA modulated the expressions of SOD2, HO-1 and Gpx1 as antioxidant enzymes. These findings suggest that ADA could induce oxidative stress accompanied by cell death, providing new insights into lipotoxicity that is involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and NASH.Nov. 2020, Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 532(4) (4), 620 - 625, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is Strongly Associated with Smoking Status and Is Improved by Smoking Cessation in Japanese Males: A Retrospective Study.BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking is known to be a significant risk factor associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to examine the association between smoking status and the severity of fatty liver with regard to sex and smoking cessation. METHODS: In total, 13,466 subjects (6,642 males and 6,824 females) who had undergone abdominal ultrasonography for health check-up, multivariable logistic regression analysis was retrospectively conducted to assess the association between smoking status and the prevalence of NAFLD stratified by sex after adjusting for other potential confounders. RESULTS: Male sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.00-3.57) and smoking history (former smoker: OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.10-1.38, current smoker: OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.17-1.47) were significantly associated with NAFLD. In males with a smoking history, an increased pack-year was strongly associated with the prevalence and severity of NAFLD (prevalence of moderate to severe fatty liver: Pack-year from 0.01 to 9.99, 21.3%; Pack-year from 10.00 to 19.99, 27.2%; Pack-year ≥20.00, 33.7%; P<0.0001), although the prevalence of moderate to severe fatty liver was inversely associated with the duration of smoking cessation (more than 10 years vs. within 5 years, OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.53-0.96). In female subjects, light current smoking was negatively associated with NAFLD (current smoker with a pack-year from 0.01 to 9.99 vs. never smoker, OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.19-0.76). CONCLUSIONS: Smoking status and pack-year were strongly associated with the prevalence and severity of NAFLD, especially in Japanese males. However, smoking cessation improved NAFLD in this population.Nov. 2020, The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 66(3) (3), E102-E112, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- A 66-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with multiple giant liver cysts. The cysts had already been detected as multiple 3-cm cysts with small nodules at another hospital 12 years prior to this presentation. The cysts were diagnosed as an intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) occupying the right lobe of the liver. Extended right lobectomy was performed. Based on the pathological findings, the tumor was diagnosed to be an oncocytic-type IPNB with minimal invasion. This experience suggests that the progression of IPNBs occur relatively slowly. The present case might provide important information for understanding the natural history of IPNBs.Nov. 2020, Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 59(22) (22), 2879 - 2883, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal

- Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) features abundant stromal cells with an excessive extracellular matrix (ECM), termed the desmoplastic reaction. CXCR4 is a cytokine receptor for stromal cell-derived factor-1 (CXCL12) expressed in PDAC, but its roles in PDAC and the characteristic desmoplastic reaction remain unclear. Here, we generated a mouse model of PDAC with conditional knockout of Cxcr4 (KPC-Cxcr4-KO) by crossing Cxcr4 flox mice with Pdx1-Cre;KrasLSL-G12D/+;Trp53LSL-R172H/+ (KPC-Cxcr4-WT) mice to assess the development of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and pancreatic cancers. Tumor cell characteristics of those two types were analyzed in vitro. In addition, CXCR4 expression in human pancreatic cancer specimens was evaluated by IHC staining. In KPC-Cxcr4-KO mice, the number and pathologic grade of PanIN lesions were reduced, but the frequency of pancreatic cancers did not differ from that in KPC-Cxcr4-WT mice. The pancreatic tumor phenotype in KPC-Cxcr4-KO mice was significantly larger and undifferentiated, characterized by abundant vimentin-expressing cancer cells, significantly fewer fibroblasts, and markedly less deposition of ECM. In vitro, KPC-Cxcr4-KO tumor cells exhibited higher proliferative and migratory activity than KPC-Cxcr4-WT tumor cells. Myofibroblasts induced invasion activity in KPC-Cxcr4-WT tumor cells, showing an epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, whereas KPC-Cxcr4-KO tumor cells were unaffected by myofibroblasts, suggesting their unique nature. In human pancreatic cancer, undifferentiated carcinoma did not express CXCR4 and exhibited histologic and IHC features similar to those in KPC-Cxcr4-KO mice. In summary, the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis may play an important role in the desmoplastic reaction in PDAC, and loss of CXCR4 induces phenotype changes in undifferentiated carcinoma without a desmoplastic reaction. SIGNIFICANCE: The current study uncovers CXCR4 as a key regulator of desmoplastic reaction in PDAC and opens the way for new therapeutic approaches to overcome the chemoresistance in patients with PDAC.Oct. 2020, Cancer research, 80(19) (19), 4058 - 4070, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PanNEC)-G3 often presents along with genetic abnormalities such as KRAS, RB1, and TP53 mutations. However, the association between these genetic findings and response to chemotherapy and prognosis has not been clarified. This study aimed to clarify the clinicopathological features of PanNEC-G3. METHODS: We performed a subgroup analysis of the Japanese PanNEN-G3 study (multicenter, retrospective study), which revealed that Rb loss and KRAS mutation were predictors of the response to platinum-based regimen in PanNEN-G3. We re-classified WHO grades of PanNENs using the 2017 WHO classification and then analyzed the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in 49 patients with PanNEC-G3. RESULTS: The rates of Rb loss and KRAS mutation in PanNEC-G3 were 54.5% and 48.7%, respectively. Patients with Rb loss and/or KRAS mutation showed a higher response rate to first-line platinum-based regimen than those without Rb loss or KRAS mutation (object response rate 70.0% vs 33.3%, odds ratio 9.22; 95% CI 1.26-67.3, P = 0.029), but tended to have shorter overall survival rates than those without Rb loss or KRAS mutation (median 239 vs 473 days, hazard ratio 2.11; 95% CI 0.92-4.86, P = 0.077). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with PanNEC-G3 have varied clinical outcomes for platinum-based regimen. When grouped based on Rb loss and KRAS mutation, there seemed to be two groups with distinct prognoses and responses to the platinum-based regimen. PanNEC-G3 could, therefore, be classified into two distinct groups based on immunohistochemical and genetic findings.Oct. 2020, Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ...

- Background and Aim: Upper gastrointestinal symptoms (UGSs), including reflux and dyspeptic symptoms (postprandial distress syndrome [PDS] and epigastric pain syndrome [EPS]), affect health-related quality of life. However, the influence of sex on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and UGSs remains controversial. This study investigates the influence of sex on this association in healthy subjects. Methods and Results: We utilized the database of a prospective, multicenter, cohort study of 7112 subjects who underwent upper endoscopy for health screening. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between BMI and UGSs stratified by sex, adjusting for clinical features. The influence of sex on the association between the overlapping of UGSs and BMI in symptomatic subjects was also investigated. Reflux symptoms were significantly associated with high BMI (multivariable odds ratio [OR] 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-1.67, P = 0.004). PDS symptoms were significantly associated with low BMI (OR 2.37; 95% CI 1.70-3.25; P < 0.0001), but EPS symptoms were not associated with BMI. The association between reflux symptoms and higher BMI was limited to men (men: OR 1.40; 95% CI 1.10-1.77; P = 0.005, women: P = 0.40). sex did not influence the association between the presence of PDS symptoms and lower BMI. The percentage of overlapping of all three symptoms (reflux, PDS, and EPS) was higher in women than in men (19.9% [58/292] vs 10.5% [49/468], P = 0.0002). Conclusions: The influence of BMI on the presence of UGSs was significantly different according to sex in this large-scale cohort.Oct. 2020, JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 4(5) (5), 937 - 944, English, International magazineScientific journal
- The selective arterial calcium stimulation test (SACST) is one of the most useful localization tests for insulinoma but can cause false-positive and/or unexpected multi arterial positive results that hamper clinical decisions. There are also several adverse effects, such as nausea and hypoglycemia, at the conventional dose (0.025 mEq/kg) of calcium injection. We herein report five consecutive insulinoma cases in which low-dose (0.005-0.007 mEq/kg) calcium injection for SACST led to successful insulinoma localization. No adverse effects of SACST were observed. In conclusion, a low-dose SACST can be a favorable option as an insulinoma localization test in terms of accuracy and safety.Oct. 2020, Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 59(19) (19), 2397 - 2403, English, Domestic magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to assess the clinical features of patients who received lenvatinib treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: The clinical characteristics, adverse events, and radiological responses were evaluated for 51 consecutive patients. RESULTS: Of the study subjects, 37 patients had Child-Pugh class A (CPA) liver function, and 14 patients had Child-Pugh class B (CPB) liver function. The overall response rates in the CPA and CPB groups were 42.9% and 25.0%, respectively, and disease control rates were 82.9% and 83.3%, respectively, without significant difference (p = 0.2621 and 0.9697). There was no significant difference between CPA and CPB groups regarding the incidence of adverse events, except for hepatic coma. No significant difference was observed in the relative dose intensity between the CPA and CPB groups, for the first month, 1-2 months, or 2-3 months (p = 0.2368, 0.9368, and 0.9293). CONCLUSION: The comparable outcomes between the CPA and CPB groups suggest the acceptability of lenvatinib treatment in patients with impaired liver function, at least in the acute phase. With careful follow-up, the dose can be relatively intensified, even in patients with impaired liver function and this may contribute to offering comparable treatment.Oct. 2020, HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 22(10) (10), 1450 - 1456, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Apolipoprotein A2-ATQ/AT (apoA2-ATQ/AT) has been identified as a minimally invasive biomarker for detecting pancreatic cancer (PC) and high-risk (HR) individuals for PC. To establish an efficient enrichment strategy for HR, we carried out a plasma apoA2-ATQ/AT level-based prospective screening study among the general population. The subjects for the screening study were recruited at six medical check-up facilities in Japan between October 2015 and January 2017. We evaluated the positive predictive value (PPV) of the plasma apoA2-ATQ/AT level of ≤35 μg/mL for detecting PC and HR. Furthermore, we prospectively confirmed its diagnostic accuracy with another post-diagnosis population in a cross-sectional study. We enrolled 5120 subjects in experimental screening, with 84 subjects (1.3%) showing positive results for apoA2-ATQ/AT. Pancreatic abnormalities were recognized in 26 of the 84 subjects from imaging examinations. Pancreatic abnormalities detected included 1 PC and 15 HR abnormalities, such as cystic lesions including intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. The PPV of apoA2-ATQ/AT for detecting PC and HR was 33.3%. Moreover, a combination study with another cross-sectional study revealed that the area under the curve for apoA2-ATQ/AT to distinguish PC from healthy controls was 0.903. ApoA2-ATQ/AT has the potential to enrich PC and HR by increasing the diagnostic probability before imaging examinations.Sep. 2020, Cancers, 12(9) (9), English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND/AIMS: Mucosal cutting biopsy (MCB) is useful for the histopathological diagnosis of gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs). However, there is little information on cases in which MCB did not establish a diagnosis. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of cases in which MCB was unsuccessful. METHODS: Cases in which MCB was used to histopathologically diagnose gastric SETs at Kobe University Hospital between August 2012 and October 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Forty-five cases in which MCB was used to diagnose 43 gastric SETs in 43 patients were analyzed. The median tumor size was 20 mm (range, 8-50 mm). Pathological examinations resulted in definitive and suspected diagnoses and no diagnosis in 29 (gastrointestinal stromal tumor: n=17, leiomyoma: n=7, aberrant pancreas: n=3, others: n=2), 6, and 10 cases, respectively. Failure to expose the tumor according to retrospective examinations of endoscopic images was significantly associated with no diagnosis. Other possible explanations included a less elevated tumor, biopsy of the surrounding field instead of the tumor due to the mobility, and poor endoscope maneuverability due to the tumor being close to the cardia. CONCLUSION: Clear exposure of gastric SETs during MCB may improve the diagnostic rate of such examinations.Sep. 2020, Clinical endoscopy, 53(5) (5), 575 - 582, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) were classified into grades (G) 1 to 3 by the World Health Organization in 2017, but the precise mechanisms of PanNET initiation and progression have remained unclear. In this study, we used a genetically engineered mouse model to investigate the mechanisms of PanNET formation. Although pancreas-specific deletion of the Rb gene (Pdx1-Cre;Rbf/f ) in mice did not affect pancreatic exocrine cells, the α-cell/β-cell ratio of islet cells was decreased at 8 months of age. During long-term observation (18-20 months), mice formed well-differentiated PanNET with a Ki67-labeling index of 2.7%. In contrast, pancreas-specific induction of a p53 mutation (Pdx1-Cre;Trp53R172H ) had no effect on pancreatic exocrine and endocrine tissues, but simultaneous induction of a p53 mutation with Rb gene deletion (Pdx1-Cre;Trp53R172H;Rb f/f ) resulted in the formation of aggressive PanNET with a Ki67-labeling index of 24.7% over the short-term (4 months). In Pdx1-Cre;Trp53R172H;Rbf/f mice, mRNA expression of Pten and Tsc2, negative regulators of the mTOR pathway, significantly decreased in the islet cells, and activation of the mTOR pathway was confirmed in subsequently formed PanNET. Thus, by manipulating Rb and p53 genes, we established a multistep progression model from dysplastic islet to indolent PanNET and aggressive metastatic PanNET in mice. These observations suggest that Rb and p53 have distinct roles in the development of PanNET. SIGNIFICANCE: Pancreas-specific manipulation of Rb and p53 genes induced malignant transformation of islet cells, reproducing stepwise progression from microadenomas to indolent (grade 1) and subsequent aggressive PanNETs (grade 2-3).Sep. 2020, Cancer research, 80(17) (17), 3620 - 3630, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Few reports have evaluated the effectiveness of laser-cut, covered, self-expandable metal stents (LC-CSEMS) for unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) and whether reintervention is feasible after placement. We describe our experience with LC-CSEMS placement for unresectable MDBO. METHODS: Patients undergoing LC-CSEMS placement for unresectable MDBO from November 2014 to December 2018 were reviewed. Recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), median time to RBO (TRBO), and reintervention were analyzed. RESULTS: 52 patients who underwent LC-CSEMS placement for unresectable MDBO were included in the analysis. The RBO rate was 15 % and the median TRBO was 445 days. Reintervention was attempted in nine patients and stent removal was successful in eight patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience suggests the effectiveness of LC-CSEMS in patients with unresectable MDBO in terms of stent patency and feasibility of reintervention.Georg Thieme Verlag KG, Aug. 2020, Endoscopy, 52(8) (8), 664 - 668, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Gastric adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation (GAED) is a very rare variant of alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer (AFPGC). GAED is histologically characterized by cuboidal or columnar cells, which resemble those found in the primitive gut and have clear cytoplasm. In previously reported cases, GAED exhibit more aggressive behavior, as well as AFPGC, than conventional gastric cancer, such as marked lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and liver metastasis. And also GAED was usually located in a deep mucosal layer and was covered by a conventional adenocarcinoma (CA) component. Based on these findings, GAED is considered to develop from CA during the process of tumor invasion and proliferation. We present a very rare case of early-stage GAED achieved curatively resected via endoscopic submucosal dissection, in which the lesion was composed of a pure enteroblastic differentiation component without a CA component.Aug. 2020, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 13(4) (4), 512 - 516, English, Domestic magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- In this study, we assessed a series of our cases in which endoscopic self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) were used to treat malignant afferent loop obstruction (ALO) that arose after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We retrospectively examined the records of 7 patients who underwent endoscopic SEMS placement for malignant ALO following PD. Clinical success was achieved in all cases. The median procedure time was 30 min (range, 15-50 min). There were no cases of stent occlusion, and no procedure-related adverse events were encountered. All patients died of their primary disease, and the median overall survival period was 155 days (range, 96-374 days). A re-intervention involving endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy combined with antegrade stenting was performed for obstructive jaundice and acute cholangitis in 1 case. In conclusion, endoscopic SEMS placement may be an effective and safe treatment for malignant ALO that arises after PD.Jul. 2020, Clinical endoscopy, 53(4) (4), 491 - 496, English, International magazine

- Aim: The aim of this study was to identify whether metabolite biomarker candidates for pancreatic cancer (PC) could aid detection of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), recognized as high-risk factors for PC. Materials & methods: The 12 metabolite biomarker candidates, which were found to be useful to detect PC in our previous study, were evaluated for plasma samples from patients with PC (n = 44) or IPMN (n = 24) or healthy volunteers (n = 46). Results: Regarding the performance of individual biomarkers of PC and PC high-risk IPMN, lysine exhibited the best performance (sensitivity: 67.8%; specificity: 86.9%). The multiple logistic regression analysis-based detection model displayed high sensitivity and specificity values of 92.5 and 90.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Metabolite biomarker candidates for PC are useful for detecting high-risk IPMN, which can progress to PC.Jul. 2020, Biomarkers in medicine, 14(11) (11), 1009 - 1020, English, International magazineScientific journal
- OBJECTIVES: We examined the efficacy and limitations of acquiring large specimens by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) for diagnosing type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS: Patients from 12 institutions with non-neoplastic diseases or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with large EUS-FNB specimens were investigated. Slides stained with hematoxylin-eosin, elastic, IgG4, and IgG stains were evaluated. The IgG4- and IgG-positive cell numbers were counted in three foci. The diagnoses were based on the Japan Pancreas Society 2011 (JPS 2011) criteria and the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria (ICDC). RESULTS: We analyzed 85 non-neoplastic (definite type 1 AIP in 73/85 based on the ICDC) cases and 64 PDAC cases. IgG4-positive cells were numerous (>10 in 85.9%), and the IgG4/IgG ratios were high (>40% in 81.2%). Plasma cell crushing by an artifact caused unsuccessful immunostaining, notably in smaller samples. Tissue lengths were an important factor for the presence of storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis, but storiform fibrosis was equivocal even in large tissues. A definite or possible histological diagnosis was achieved in 45.9% (39/85) and 41.2% (35/85), respectively, and contributed to the definite final diagnosis of type 1 AIP in 33.3% (ICDC) and 55.6% (JPS 2011) in cases with segmental/focal lesions. In the PDAC group, >10 IgG4-positive cells was rare (2/58), but elastic stains revealed fibrous venous occlusions in 10.3% (6/58). CONCLUSIONS: EUS-FNB with large tissue amounts was useful for diagnosing type 1 AIP, notably by facilitating successful IgG4 immunostaining, but definite diagnosis may not be achieved even in cases with large specimens.Jul. 2020, Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ...

- Virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are diverse, so various biological responses happen in a host infected with H. pylori. The aim of this study is to conduct the metabolomics-based evaluation on H. pylori infection. AGS human gastric carcinoma cells were infected with H. pylori strain 26695, and then the altered metabolite pathways in the infected AGS cells were analyzed by metabolomics. Metabolites related to the glutathione (GSH) cycle were downregulated by H. pylori infection. Next, we evaluated the effects of H. pylori on the GSH-related pathway in AGS cells infected with H. pylori isolated from patients with atrophic gastritis (AG), duodenal ulcer (DU) and gastric cancer (GC). We found that the declined degree of GSH levels and oxidative stress were greater in AGS cells infected with GC strains than DU and AG-derived strains. There were no significant differences in almost mRNA expressions of GSH-related factors among different clinical strains, but the protein expression of glutathione synthetase was lower in AGS cells infected with GC-derived strains than DU and AG-derived strains. Our data demonstrates that GC-derived H. pylori-induced oxidative stress in a host is stronger and GC-derived strains may have suppressive influences on the host's GSH-related defense systems.Jun. 2020, Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 526(4) (4), 1118 - 1124, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Detection of Novel Amino Acid Polymorphisms in the East Asian CagA of Helicobacter Pylori with Full Sequencing Data.Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) is generally accepted to be the most important virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori and increases the risk of developing gastric cancer. East Asian CagA, which includes the EPIYA-D segment at the C-terminal region, has a significantly higher gastric carcinogenic rate than Western CagA including the EPIYA-C segment. Although the amino acid polymorphism surrounding the EPIYA motif in the C-terminal region has been examined in detail, limited information is currently available on the amino acid polymorphism of the N-terminal region of East Asian CagA. In the present study, we analyzed the sequencing data of East Asian CagA that we obtained previously to detect amino acid changes (AACs) in the N-terminal region of East Asian CagA. Four highly frequent AACs in the N-terminal region of East Asian CagA were detected in our datasets, two of which (V356A, Y677F) exhibited reproducible specificity using a validation dataset from the NCBI database, which are candidate AACs related to the pathogenic function of CagA. We examined whether these AACs affect the functions of CagA in silico model. The computational docking simulation model showed that binding affinity between CagA and phosphatidylserine remained unchanged in the model of mutant CagA reflecting both AAC, whereas that between CagA and α5β1 integrin significantly increased. Based on whole genome sequencing data we herein identified novel specific AACs in the N-terminal regions of EPIYA-D that have the potential to change the function of CagA.Jun. 2020, The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 66(1) (1), E22-E31, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- A 60-year-old female was admitted to hospital with a continuous fever, a decreased appetite, and abdominal pain. Laboratory tests showed an elevated peripheral leukocyte count (13,800/μl) and increased C-reactive protein (19.1 mg/dl) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (4057 U/ml) levels. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed multiple bulky hypovascular nodules in the liver, swelling of the paraaortic lymph nodes, and a hypovascular mass (diameter 3.0 cm) in the pancreatic body. The serum concentrations of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and interleukin-6 were 172 pg/μl and 541 pg/µl, respectively. Liver biopsy specimens revealed an adenosquamous carcinoma, which was positively immunostained for G-CSF. We diagnosed the patient with G-CSF-producing pancreatic cancer with multiple metastases. Four courses of gemcitabine with dexamethasone and one course of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine were administered. Although the pancreatic tumor and paraaortic lymph node metastases decreased in size, the liver metastases continued to grow. The patient died 4 months after the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. An autopsy resulted in the tumor being diagnosed as poorly differentiated adenosquamous pancreatic carcinoma, which was histopathologically G-CSF-positive. Although G-CSF-producing pancreatic adenosquamous carcinomas are extremely rare, they have been encountered more frequently in recent years. In such cases, chemotherapy combined with dexamethasone might be effective at temporarily improving the patient's condition.Jun. 2020, Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 13(3) (3), 448 - 454, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- Background/Aims: ; The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of partially covered self-expandable metallic stents (PCSEMS) in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemo(radio) therapy (NAC) for pancreatic cancer (PC). Methods: This was a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PCSEMS in patients receiving NAC for resectable and borderline resectable PC. The primary endpoint was the rate of recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO). Results: Twenty-six patients with PC (three with resectable PC and 23 with borderline resectable PC) who underwent NAC at seven Japanese centers were included in the analysis. Both the technical and functional success rates of PCSEMS placement were 100%. Early stent-related complications were observed in three patients (11.5%): mild pancreatitis (n=2) and mild liver abscess (n=1). The median time to surgery or palliation was 4.0 months. Surgical resection was eventually performed in 73.1% of patients, and stent removal during surgery was successful in all patients. RBO was observed in nine patients (34.6%): seven with stent occlusion, one with kinking and one with migration. The RBO rates in resected cases and nonresected cases were 36.8% and 28.6%, respectively. Conclusions: Biliary drainage by PCSEMS was safe and feasible in patients undergoing NAC for resectable and borderline resectable PC.Apr. 2020, Gut and liver, 15(1) (1), 135 - 141, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

The incidence of pancreatic cancer in families with at least two affected first-degree relatives who have pancreatic cancer is significantly higher than in the general population. In 2014, the Japan Pancreas Society started the nationwide Japan Familial Pancreatic Cancer Registry to investigate familial pancreatic cancer in Japan. The aim of this paper is to describe an expert consensus for surveillance in people with an increased risk using the Japan Familial Pancreatic Cancer Registry. A working group constituted by experts in imaging and genetic diagnosis of pancreatic cancer first proposed 22 statements regarding (1) the definition of those at high risk, (2) initial work-up and (3) follow-up of the high-risk group. Agreement of the councilors of Japan Pancreas Society was obtained for the 21 of the 22 statements by a vote. We expect that this expert consensus will contribute to the early diagnosis and an improved prognosis in people with familial pancreatic cancer.

- Background and study aims Patients who have undergone colorectal surgery for resection of cancer and benign lesions are at risk for recurrent, residual, or metachronous lesions at the anastomosis site. Surgical resection of such lesions is difficult because of adhesions, and a stoma may be required as there are risks for leakage after resection. The feasibility and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for these lesions remain unknown. Therefore, this case series aimed to examine the feasibility and safety of ESD by evaluating the clinical outcomes. Patients and methods We retrospectively investigated five patients who underwent ESD by a single expert for superficial neoplastic lesions at the anastomosis site after previous colorectal surgery. Results R0 resections were achieved for all lesions. Mean procedure time was 160.6 minutes. Mean dimensions of the resected specimen and tumor were 52.4 mm and 31.8mm, respectively. None of the patients had complications or recurrence after surveillance colonoscopy 1-year post-resection. Conclusions In an expert's hands, ESD at the anastomosis site might be feasible minimally invasive treatment for superficial neoplastic lesions.Aug. 2019, Endoscopy international open, 7(8) (8), E949-E954, English, International magazine[Refereed]

- Eosinophilic cholangitis (EC) is an uncommon, benign, self-limiting disease, which typically causes bile duct stricture with eosinophil infiltration. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain diagnosed with EC after treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis. All previous reported cases of EC had bile duct stricture seen on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or cholangiogram during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, but only wall thickness of the common bile duct was noted in our case. Although rare, EC should be considered when wall thickening of the bile duct is observed, even without stricture.Jun. 2019, ACG case reports journal, 6(6) (6), e00099, English, International magazine

- Background and study aims A 71-year-old female underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for a subcircumferential lateral-spreading rectal tumor. Pathological examination showed an intramucosal adenocarcinoma in villous adenoma (size: 155 × 140 mm), which had been curatively resected with negative margins. However, follow-up colonoscopy revealed a tumor at the ulcer scar site, which soon grew into a circumferential lesion. Nineteen months after the first ESD procedure, additional ESD was performed for the recurrent lesion, which was resected en bloc without any adverse events, although severe fibrosis was noted in the submucosa. Pathological examination revealed a villous adenoma similar to the primary lesion with negative margins, but tumor cell nests were also present in the submucosa, which implied that tumor cell implantation had occurred during the first ESD. The post-ESD ulcer bed was subjected to argon plasma coagulation to prevent tumor recurrence after confirmation of the pathological results. There have not been any signs of recurrence during 9 years of follow-up.Apr. 2019, Endoscopy international open, 7(4) (4), E621-E624, English, International magazine[Refereed]
- Background and study aims Previously, we reported that esophageal muscle layer thickness was associated with technical complexity of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). However, there are no data regarding the mid-term effects of POEM procedures on esophageal muscle layer thickness. Therefore, we conducted this study to elucidate mid-term effects of POEM procedures, and to examine whether postoperative changes in esophageal muscle layer thickness were related to particular clinico-pathological features in patients with esophageal motility disorders. Patients and methods Seventy-four consecutive patients with esophageal motility disorders who underwent POEM at Kobe University Hospital from April 2015 to December 2016 were prospectively recruited into this study. First, we investigated the esophageal muscle layer thickness values obtained at 1 year after POEM. Second, we evaluated the effects of a reduction in muscle layer thickness on various clinico-pathological features. Results At 1 year after POEM, mean thickness of the inner circular muscle at 0 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm from the esophagogastric junction was 1.06 ± 0.45 mm, 0.99 ± 0.36 mm, and 0.97 ± 0.44 mm, respectively. Among all sites, muscle layer thickness had significantly decreased after POEM. However, univariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that no clinical factors were associated with esophageal muscle layer thickness after POEM procedure. Conclusions We demonstrated for the first time that thickness of the esophageal muscle layer was significantly decreased after POEM. This result reveals that changes in esophageal muscle layer thickness caused by esophageal motility disorders are reversible.Apr. 2019, Endoscopy international open, 7(4) (4), E525-E532, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- 特集1: 京都大学ブータン友好プログラム特集 = Special Issue 1: Contribution from the Kyoto Bhutan Friendship Program京都大学医学部附属病院の国際支援事業によりブータン王国にて内視鏡診療に従事する機会を得た。ブータンでは消化器内視鏡検査は国内唯一の消化器内科医師と外科医師により行われており, 治療困難な症例は国外へ搬送されていた。内視鏡的逆行性膵胆管造影 (Endoscopic Retrograde Chorangiopancreatography: ERCP) 目的の国外搬送も絶えないため, ERCP 導入を中心とした内視鏡診療支援を行うこととなった。10週間の滞在中に約900件の内視鏡を施行した。大部分は上部消化管内視鏡検査であったが, ERCP に関しても, 現地の医師, 看護師を指導しながら, 23件を施行した。ブータンの内視鏡診療の現況に加え, ブータン人における消化器疾患の頻度及び ERCP 導入の実際について報告する。We provided medical care in the Kingdom of Bhutan from January to March in 2014 through the international medical support program of Kyoto University Hospital. Bhutan is a small, developing country with a population of about 700, 000 citizens located at the southern foot of the Himalayas. There are only 244 medical doctors in Bhutan (one-tenth of the number of doctors relative to population in Japan). Because of the shortage of doctors and the limited medical resources, patients with difficult-to-treat conditions are transferred to India or other countries. Gastrointestinal endoscopy is performed by the country's only gastroenterologist and six surgeons, mainly in Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Referral Hospital (JDWNRH) at Thimphu. Several years before, a Bhutanese surgeon had learned to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Thailand. However, ERCP cannot be established in Bhutanese routine clinical practice because of its technical difficulty. Although a duodenoscope and some devices for ERCP are available, at least one patient who needs ERCP is transferred to India every month. In this context, I was asked to reintroduce ERCP into JDWNRH. ERCP was performed in 23 cases involving 17 patients with the cooperation of Bhutanese doctors, nurses, and technicians. My experience leads me to believe that we can build a platform to continue ERCP in JDWNRH. During the 10 weeks, I also helped to perform about 900 endoscopies, mainly esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and I taught endoscopic techniques and diagnostic approaches to Bhutanese doctors. In this report, I describe the current status of endoscopy in Bhutan including the incidence of Bhutanese gastrointestinal disorders and the experience specifically related to introducing ERCP.京都大学ヒマラヤ研究会; 京都大学ブータン友好プログラム; 京都大学霊長類学・ワイルドライフサイエンス・リーディング大学院, Mar. 2016, ヒマラヤ学誌 : Himalayan Study Monographs, 17, 77 - 84, Japanese

- Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) regulates the homeostasis of sphingolipids, including ceramides and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Because sphingolipids regulate AKT activation, we investigated the role of ASM in hepatic glucose andlipid metabolism. Initially, we overexpressed ASM in the livers of wild-type and diabetic db/db mice by adenovirus vector (Ad5ASM). In these mice, glucose tolerance was improved, and glycogen and lipid accumulation in the liver were increased. Using primary cultured hepatocytes, we confirmed that ASM increased glucose uptake, glycogen deposition, and lipid accumulation through activation of AKT and glycogen synthase kinase-3β. In addition, ASM induced up-regulation of glucose transporter 2 accompanied by suppression of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. Loss of sphingosine kinase-1 (SphK1) diminished ASM-mediated AKT phosphorylation, but exogenous S1P induced AKT activation in hepatocytes. In contrast, SphK1 deficiency did not affect AMPK activation. These results suggest that the SphK/S1P pathway is required for ASM-mediated AKT activation but not for AMPK inactivation. Finally, we found that treatment with high-dose glucose increased glyApr. 2011, FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 25(4) (4), 1133 - 1144, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- OBJECTIVES: This study compared the safety and efficacy of peroral endoscopic myotomy for esophageal motility disorders between octogenarians and non-octogenarians. METHODS: This retrospective observational study recruited 321 patients (28 octogenarians and 293 non-octogenarians) who underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy from two institutions. Clinical success (postoperative Eckardt score ≤ 3), technical success (completion of gastric and esophageal myotomy), and perioperative adverse events were compared between octogenarians and non-octogenarians. Perioperative adverse events were classified into major and minor adverse events based on the International Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Survey criteria and were subdivided into technical and non-technical adverse events according to the presence of a direct causal relationship with the procedure. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the rates of clinical success 1 year after treatment (100% vs. 97.3%, P = 0.64) and technical success (100% vs. 99.7%, P = 0.91) between octogenarians and non-octogenarians. Octogenarians had a higher incidence of perioperative adverse events (28.6% vs. 10.2%, P = 0.00097), particularly major adverse events (25.0% vs. 3.0%, P < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of minor adverse events (7.1% vs. 7.9%, P = 0.67). Although there was no difference in the incidence of technical adverse events (10.7% vs. 9.2%, P = 0.74), octogenarians had a significantly higher incidence of non-technical adverse events (17.9% vs. 1.0%, P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: There were no significant differences in short-term clinical success and technical success between octogenarians and non-octogenarians. However, octogenarians showed a significantly higher incidence of perioperative adverse events, particularly in major adverse events and non-technical adverse events. Peroral endoscopic myotomy for octogenarians should be carefully applied.Jan. 2021, Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, 33(1) (1), 110 - 117, English, International magazine

- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 基盤研究(C), 神戸大学, 01 Apr. 2019 - 31 Mar. 2023自己免疫性膵炎の病態形成における腸内細菌の役割自己免疫性膵炎(AIP)は血清IgG4高値とIgG4陽性形質細胞の浸潤を特徴とする機序不明の膵炎で、わが国で報告され現在IgG4関連疾患の一つとして難病指定されている。ステロイドの反応性から自己免疫的機序によるものと推察されているが、特異的治療がなく再燃率も高く問題となっている。申請者のグループは腸内細菌に対する抗体などの免疫反応が膵臓の炎症を惹起し疾患発症に関与しているのではないかという仮説を立案し研究を行っている。 これまでに、AIP患者の腸管において分泌されている免疫グロブリンの組成が健常者と異なることを明らかとした。腸管に分泌される免疫グロブリンの各種アイソタイプと結合する菌をMACSおよびFACAにより分離し次世代シーケンサーにより菌の構成を解析した。AIP患者の免疫ブロブリンIgG4と結合している菌を解析し、AIPの腸管免疫に特異的に関わっている可能性のある菌の候補の絞り込みを行い、4菌種が抽出され、今後、それらの菌がどのようにAIPの病態に関わっているか、また腸内細菌が疾患マーカーになりうるかを解析する。さらに、AIP患者が腸管内容物の抗原に対して特異的に反応しているものをWestern blot法および質量分析法でタンパクのアミノ酸配列の同定を行った。解析したタンパクの中で細菌由来のタンパクの同定には至っていないが、AIP患者の血清の免疫グロブリンは便中のヒト膵臓由来のあるタンパクとの強く結合していることを見出した。今後、AIP患者の血清中免疫グロブリンと反応するタンパクの同定の条件検討を進め、免疫沈降法などを用いて特異的なタンパクの濃縮方法など条件検討を試みる。AIP患者の免疫グロブリンと結合する腸内細菌をMACS法およびFACS法で分離後の次世代シーケンサーによる菌叢解析の条件検討も行う。引き続きAIPに特異的な自己抗体候補の検索を行っていく。

However, there are still unclear what and how bacterial species are involved in pancreatic carcinogenesis and progression. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the microbiota profile of cancer and the pathological and clinical features using the histopathology of human pancreatic cancer. Compared with normal pancreatic tissue, pancreatic cancer showed a high amplification reaction of 16S rDNA, and analysis by the next-generation sequencer could identify the same bacteria as previously reported. Furthermore, immunostaining of LPS revealed that LPS-positive pancreatic cancer had a poor prognosis and that tumor immunity was suppressed. Currently, we are considering adding in situ hybridization.

As a result, we identified an integrin family molecule that binds to laminin 511 as a novel autoantigen candidate, and assessed its pathogenicity using a mouse model. We also developed a prototypes of autoantibody measurement kits for these autoantigens. These autoantibodies were thought to be pathogenic autoantibodies that contribute to development of IgG4-related disease by inhibiting cell adhesion.

In this study, we focused on Notch/Hes1 signaling and aimed to elucidate the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer and to develop new treatment options. Analysis using human pancreatic cancer specimens and cell lines showed that activation of mutant KRAS gene induced Hes1. Mouse model demonstrated that the formation of pancreatic cancer was almost completely suppressed by knocking out the Hes1 gene. Furthermore, the novel Hes1 inhibitor significantly suppressed the growth of human pancreatic cancer cell lines. These findings suggest that Hes1 plays an essential role in the formation of pancreatic cancer and could be a new therapeutic target.

In addition, we tried to establish a novel protocol to differentiate iPS cells into mature pancreatic acinar cells. We obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells from blood samples of patients who agreed participation, with a written informed consent. Introduction of Yamanaka factors led to the formation of iPS cells in all of the patients. Established iPS cells were cultured and stored for further usage. A novel differentiation protocol using small molecule agents was established by the 2D-culture based drug screening. This protocol induced acinar cell marker, such as amylase, in iPS cells. However, final differentiation protocol into mature acinar cells has not yet been established. The current study enabled iPS cell library from patients with pancreatitis caused by genetic burden.

We first confirmed that injection of IgG in the sera of patients with IgG4-RD induced autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP)-like lesions in mouse pancreas. We also observed that the injected IgG was localized in extracellular matrix (ECM) including basement membrane of pancreatic acini together with C1q, suggesting that the autoantibody in patients’ serum recognizes some ECM protein in the pancreas. Thus, we established ELISA for various laminins, and found that about 50% of the patients with IgG4-RD had antibody against laminin α5β1γ1 -E8 in their sera, but none of normal subjects, patients with pancreatic cancer or those with chronic pancreatitis had this antibody. We concluded this antibody has pathogenic role by dissociating acinar cells from ECM.

We have already identified several kinds of markers of a gastric cancer precursor cell, and are looking for a stomach cancer precursor cell in the background membrane of an early frequent occurrence stomach cancer excision specimen. Furthermore, RUNX3 has played the role important for TGFbeta dependence apoptosis (Oncogene, Sakakura et al., 2007). The molecule (TCF4) which the carcinogenic signal transfer system (Wnt signal system) of colorectal cancer and a RUNX3-TGFbeta signal transfer system overlap is also identified (Cancer Cell, Ito et al, 2009). With Luminex system, we establish the quick serological-diagnosis system which can measure quantitatively methylation of two or more genes in many samples in a short time.

It has been revealed that pancreatic cancer is derived from precancerous lesions by accumulation of multiple genetic abnormalities. Here, we focused on the Notch/Hes1 signaling in the maintenance of homeostasis and carcinogenesis in pancreas. As a result, we found that (1)Hes1 does not affect the cell fate of Ptf1a-positive cells, (2)Hes1 is indispensable for the development of pancreatic exocrine tissues after birth, (3)Hes1 is not essential for the maintenance of adult pancreatic homeostasis, (4)Hes1 is essential for the development of pancreatic precancerous lesions, (5) Hes1 is essential for the development of pancreatic cancer, and (6)the growth activities of pancreatic cancer cells were significantly diminished by a treatment of Hes1 inhibitor. These results suggest the possibility of a new therapeutic strategy against pancreatic cancer that targets Hes1.

In the current study, using NASH mouse model, we analyzed the role of JNK signaling in the development of NASH and subsequent formation of liver fibrosis and cancer. As a result, the development of liver fibrosis and cancer was reduced in jnk1knockout mice as compared to wild-type mice. Furthermore, analysis of chimeric mice generated by bone marrow transplantation or in vitro experiments using primary culture cells revealed the critical role of JNK1 in non-hematopoietic cells in the development of NASH.
