Abstract
Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an event-related potential (ERP) component that reflects preattentive sensory memory functions. Previous research revealed that MMN is generated by distinct sources in the frontal and temporal lobes. Event-related potential abnormalities have been shown in the vicinity of seizure foci in epilepsy. Additionally, no published study has investigated the MMN in response to variations in both frequency and duration deviants in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The aims of this study were to compare MMN changes between the frontocentral sites and the mastoid sites and to compare MMNs related to deviant stimuli with different durations and frequencies in patients with TLE. We recorded MMNs elicited by duration and frequency changes of deviant stimuli from 15 patients with TLE and 15 healthy control subjects. We found that mean MMN amplitudes related to duration deviants were lower in patients with TLE at the mastoid sites relative to controls, whereas the MMN amplitudes at the frontocentral sites did not differ between the two groups. There were no MMN differences related to frequency deviants between TLE subjects and controls at the frontocentral sites or the mastoid sites. Mismatch negativity parameters related to duration deviants did not correlate with those related to deviant frequencies in the group with TLE. The present findings suggest selective impairments among multiple mismatch generators in TLE and suggest that processing of temporal information of auditory stimuli is selectively disturbed in TLE. Changes in MMN amplitudes related to duration deviants at the mastoid sites may represent deficits in time-dependent processing in TLE.

Abstract
Abstract We report a case of a 42-year-old man with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) with chondritis. He presented with preceding insidious progressive occlusion of the bilateral common iliac arteries extending to the lower two-thirds of the abdominal aorta. Active thrombotic events developed concurrent with the onset of chondritis, and resulted in massive thromboses in multiple organs and renal dysfunction. Both conditions responded well to combined intravenous high-dose methylprednisolone and anticoagulation therapy. The inflammatory component of his disease may have played a major role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis given the concurrent active inflammation from his chondritis.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to present the feasibility and surgical outcome of robotic en bloc resection of the rectum and with prostate and seminal vesicle invaded by rectal cancer. METHOD The details of three consecutive cases involving male patients in their forties, with locally invasive low rectal cancers are presented. The da Vinci robotic system was used by experienced colorectal and urological surgeons to perform en bloc resection of the rectum, prostate and seminal vesicles. RESULTS In the first case, coloanal and vesico-urethral anastomoses were performed, and the second included an end colostomy and vesico-urethral anastomosis. The bladder and bulbar urethra were also removed en bloc in the third case, with robotic intracorporeal ileal conduit formation and end colostomy. There was no major complication postoperatively. In the second patient there was a minor leakage at the vesico-urethral anastomosis. The third was readmitted the following week with a urinary infection which settled with intravenous antibiotics. In the first case, the circumferential resection margin was microscopically positive but the patient is currently free of recurrence after 14 months. In the second and third cases, all margins were clear. CONCLUSION This the first report of the use of the da Vinci robotic system for pelvic exenteration in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer invading the prostate and seminal vesicles. The robot may have a potential role in selected patients requiring exenterative pelvic surgery particularly in men.

Abstract
Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has an important role in cancer progression, and high levels of plasma IL-6 are correlated with a poor prognosis in a variety of cancers. It has also been reported that tumour stromal fibroblasts are necessary for steps in cancer progression, such as angiogenesis. There have been few reports of a correlation between fibroblast actions and IL-6 levels. In this study, we examined the correlation between cancer stromal fibroblasts and IL-6 and the utility of IL-6 as a therapeutic target in human colon cancer. Methods: The expression levels of IL-6 and VEGF of fibroblasts and cancer cell lines were evaluated using real-time PCR and ELISA. The anti-angiogenic effect of inhibiting IL-6 signalling was measured in an angiogenesis model and animal experiment. Results: We demonstrate that stromal fibroblasts isolated from colon cancer produced significant amounts of IL-6 and that colon cancer cells enhanced IL-6 production by stromal fibroblasts. Moreover, IL-6 enhanced VEGF production by fibroblasts, thereby inducing angiogenesis. In vivo, anti-IL6 receptor antibody targeting stromal tissue showed greater anti-tumour activity than did anti-IL6 receptor antibody targeting xenografted cancer cells. Conclusion: Cancer stromal fibroblasts were an important source of IL-6 in colon cancer. IL-6 produced by activated fibroblasts induced tumour angiogenesis by stimulating adjacent stromal fibroblasts. The relationship between IL-6 and stromal fibroblasts offers new approaches to cancer therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI for odontogenic tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS 51 patients with odontogenic tumours were subjected to pre-operative MRI examinations. For tumours with liquid components, i.e. ameloblastomas and keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs), the signal intensity (SI) uniformity of their cystic components (UΣ) was calculated and then their UΣ values were compared. For tumours with solid components that had been examined using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), their CImax (maximum contrast index), Tmax (the time when CImax occurred), CIpeak (CImax × 0.90), Tpeak (the time when CIpeak occurred) and CI300 (i.e. the CI observed at 300 s after contrast medium injection) values were determined from CI curves. We then classified the odontogenic tumours according to their DCE-MRI parameters. RESULTS Significant differences between the UΣ values of the ameloblastomas and KCOT were observed on T1 weighted images, T2 weighted images and short TI inversion recovery images. Depending on their DCE-MRI parameters, we classified the odontogenic tumours into the following five types: Type A, CIpeak > 2.0 and Tpeak < 200 s; Type B, CIpeak < 2.0 and Tpeak < 200 s; Type C, CI300 > 2.0 and Tmax < 600 s; Type D, CI300 > 2.0 and Tmax > 600 s; Type E, CI300 < 2.0 and Tmax > 600 s. CONCLUSION Cystic component SI uniformity was found to be useful for differentiating between ameloblastomas and KCOT. However, the DCE-MRI parameters of odontogenic tumours, except for odontogenic fibromas and odontogenic myxomas, contributed little to their differential diagnosis.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of granulomatous prostatitis (GP) developing after intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with pathologically proven GP underwent prostatic MRI. Lesion shape and signal intensity (SI) were evaluated on T2-weighted (T2WI), T1WI, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). RESULTS Polygonal nodular lesions with notches, diffuse lesions, and cystic lesions with mural nodules were seen in two, six, and one patients, respectively. The remaining patient had a diffuse and cystic lesion. All diffuse lesions showed higher SI than muscle on T1WI and higher SI than the normal peripheral zone (PZ) on DWI. On T2WI, six of seven diffuse lesions showed a slightly lower SI than bone marrow and the remaining one lesion was iso-intense. All nodular lesions showed a low SI similar to muscle on T2WI and were iso-intense to muscle on T1WI. On DWI, two each of the four nodular lesions showed slightly lower SI and slightly higher SI than the normal PZ, respectively. All contents within the cyst and mural nodules showed markedly high and low SI on T2WI, respectively. On DWI, all fluids within cysts showed markedly high SI. One each of the mural nodules showed slightly higher SI and slightly lower SI than the normal PZ on DWI. CONCLUSION Three main MRI patterns of GP were identified: diffuse, nodular, and cystic with mural nodule; among them, the diffuse type was the most common. Cystic lesions with mural nodules could accompany the lesion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inhalation of ylang-ylang aroma has been shown to reduce the auditory P300, an event-related potential thought to reflect higher-order processing. Because olfactory function is sometimes disturbed in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), the objective of the present study was to determine whether the effect of ylang-ylang aroma on the auditory P300 was impaired in patients with TLE. METHOD Fourteen subjects with TLE and 14 healthy controls participated in this study. Electroencephalograms were recorded during an auditory oddball task, and ylang-ylang aroma or odorless air was delivered through a mask. RESULTS We found that the ylang-ylang aroma prolonged the latencies of P300 in both groups. The ylang-ylang aroma significantly reduced the P300 amplitudes of healthy subjects as described previously. However, in TLE patients, the P300 was unaffected by the aroma. CONCLUSION The current results show that exposure to the ylang-ylang aroma reduced information processing resources in healthy subjects but had limited effects in patients with TLE. We suggest that impaired higher-order olfactory processing in TLE patients may inhibit the effects of the ylang-ylang aroma on the P300.

Abstract
AIMS/OBJECTIVE Nephropathy, a major complication of diabetes, is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Recent studies have demonstrated that podocyte injury is involved in the onset of and progression to renal insufficiency. Here, we describe a novel, highly sensitive ELISA for detecting urinary podocalyxin, a glycoconjugate on the podocyte apical surface that indicates podocyte injury, particularly in the early phase of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS Urine samples from patients with glomerular diseases (n = 142) and type 2 diabetes (n = 71) were used to quantify urinary podocalyxin by ELISA. Urine samples were obtained from 69 healthy controls for whom laboratory data were within normal values. Podocalyxin was detected in urine by immunofluorescence, immunoelectron microscopy and western blotting. RESULTS Morphologically, urinary podocalyxin was present as a vesicular structure; western blotting showed it as a positive band at 165-170 kDa. Levels of urinary podocalyxin were elevated in patients with various glomerular diseases and patients with diabetes. In patients with diabetes, urinary podocalyxin was higher than the cut-off value in 53.8% patients at the normoalbuminuric stage, 64.7% at the microalbuminuric stage and 66.7% at the macroalbuminuric stage. Positive correlations were observed between urinary podocalyxin levels and HbA(1c), urinary β(2) microglobulin, α(1) microglobulin and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, although urinary podocalyxin levels were not correlated with other laboratory markers such as blood pressure, lipid level, serum creatinine, estimated GFR or proteinuria. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Urinary podocalyxin may be a useful biomarker for detecting early podocyte injury in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ATP2A2 encoding the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) -ATPase2 (SERCA2) is a Darier disease (DD)-related gene. Ultraviolet (UV) B irradiation downregulates ATP2A2/SERCA2 expression in keratinocytes, whereas cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is dramatically upregulated by UVB. OBJECTIVES To analyse the involvement of COX-2 in ATP2A2/SERCA2 expression. METHODS Keratinocytes were transfected with COX-2 siRNA or treated with COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, to evaluate the effect of COX-2 on ATP2A2/SERCA2 expression. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting analysis and reporter assay were used to determine the amount of mRNA, protein level and transcription activity, respectively. RESULTS COX-2 knockdown by siRNA resulted in upregulation of ATP2A2 transcription. Treatment by celecoxib rescued UVB-mediated suppression of the ATP2A2 transcription and SERCA2 protein expression. Simple addition of prostaglandin (PG) E(2) , which is a product of COX-2 enzyme, reduced the amounts of ATP2A2 mRNA and SERCA2 protein in keratinocytes. CONCLUSIONS UVB downregulates ATP2A2/SERCA2 expression via induction of COX-2 expression and subsequent increase of PGE(2) production in keratinocytes. Considering that DD is caused by the decreased function of SERCA2 due to the reduced expression of the ATP2A2 gene, this finding shows the possibility that COX-2 inhibition may be useful to prevent and/or treat DD.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor p16/CDKN2A/INK4a gene is frequently mutated, mostly by homozygous deletions in high-grade gliomas. Although the p16 protein suppresses cell proliferation primarily through inhibition of cell-cycle progression at the G1 phase, other phenotypic changes in glioma cells associated with p16INK4a alterations have not been fully described. To determine the roles of p16 alterations in glioma formation, we have established ecdysone-driven inducible p16 expression in the human glioblastoma cell line CL-4, which were derived from p16-null U87MG cells. Here we show that exogenous p16 expression in CL-4 cells results in morphological changes, with large and flattened cytoplasm, which are associated with increased formation of cytoplasmic actin-stress fibers and vinculin accumulation in the focal adhesion contacts. Adhesion of CL-4 cells to extracellular matrix proteins, such as laminin, fibronectin, and type IV collagen, significantly increased upon exogenous p16 expression, which correlated with increased expression of integrin alpha5 and alphav. Expression of a small GTP-binding protein, Rac, also decreased. Following epidermal growth factor stimulation, phosphorylation of MAP kinases ERK1 and 2 and induction of an early immediate gene product, c-Fos, were significantly reduced in CL-4 cells with p16 expression. These results suggest that the tumor suppressor p16 may exert its antitumor effects through modulation of multiple aspects of glioblastoma phenotypes, including proliferation, invasiveness, and responsiveness to extracellular growth stimuli.

Abstract
The activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in vascular endothelial cells may be involved in vascular pathogeneses such as vasculitis or atherosclerosis. Recently, it has been reported that some amino acids exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. We investigated the inhibitory effects of a panel of amino acids on cytokine production or expression of adhesion molecules that are involved in inflammatory diseases in various cell types. The activation of NF-κB was determined in human coronary arterial endothelial cells (HCAECs) because NF-κB modulates the production of many cytokines and the expression of adhesion molecules. We examined the inhibitory effects of the amino acids cysteine, histidine and glycine on the induction of NF-κB activation, expression of CD62E (E-selectin) and the production of interleukin (IL)-6 in HCAECs stimulated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Cysteine, histidine and glycine significantly reduced NF-κB activation and inhibitor κBα (IκBα) degradation in HCAECs stimulated with TNF-α. Additionally, all the amino acids inhibited the expression of E-selectin and the production of IL-6 in HCAECs, and the effects of cysteine were the most significant. Our results show that glycine, histidine and cysteine can inhibit NF-κB activation, IκBα degradation, CD62E expression and IL-6 production in HCAECs, suggesting that these amino acids may exhibit anti-inflammatory effects during endothelial inflammation.

Abstract
The mismatch negativity (MMN) is an electrophysiological trace of change detection, measured by electroencephalography (EEG), and is a reliable marker for pre-attentive auditory sensory memory. We used a phonetic oddball paradigm in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) to elicit the MMN response at fronto-central sites and the mismatch positivity (MMP) response at mastoid sites. The MMN in 26 patients was compared with that of 26 age- and gender-matched healthy control participants. Electroencephalography responses were recorded during the presentation of speech sounds: the vowels 'a' and 'o' in alternation. Average waveforms were obtained for standard and deviant trials. We found that the MMP response at bilateral mastoid sites was reduced, whereas the MMN response at fronto-central sites did not change significantly. These results support the view that the MMN is generated by separable sources in the frontal and temporal lobes and that these sources are differentially affected by TLE.

Abstract
We have developed the delta-apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), a new parameter of the water dynamics of brain tissue using MRI. Delta-ADC is the changes in regional ADC values of the brain during the cardiac cycle. The study included 6 idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients (iNPH group) and 12 healthy volunteers (control group). ECG-triggered single-shot diffusion echo planar imaging (b = 0 and 1,000 s/mm(2)) was used on a 1.5-T MRI. The delta-ADC image was calculated from the maximum minus the minimum ADC value of all cardiac phase images (20 phases) on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Delta-ADC values in the white matter of the frontal, temporal, and occipital lobe were obtained. Delta-ADC values in the iNPH group were significantly higher than those in the control group in all regions. ADC values in the iNPH were also significantly higher than those in the control group, but the differences in the ADC between the groups in each region were much lower than those for the delta-ADC. Although the changes in the delta-ADC and ADC values were similar, there was no significant correlation between the delta-ADC and the ADC. These results suggest that the ADC and the delta-ADC may reflect different kinds of water dynamics. The ADC depends on the water content in brain tissue. On the other hand, delta-ADC depends on not only the water content, but also on the degree of the fluctuation of the water molecules. Delta-ADC analysis makes it possible to obtain non-invasively new and more detailed information on the regional brain condition in iNPH.

Abstract
Objective: During normal swallowing, longitudinal conduction of pharyngeal pressure occurs from the velopharynx to the esophagus for the transportation of a food bolus. In this study, we analyzed the conduction velocity (CV) of swallowing pressures in the pharynx using a novel high-resolution manometry (HRM) system. Method: Pharyngeal pressure topographies (PPTs) were obtained from 95 asymptomatic subjects. PPT is a derivative of HRM data that dynamically displays intrapharyngeal swallowing pressure. We measured CV at the velopharynx (V1), meso-hypopharynx (V2), upper esophageal sphincter (UES, V3), and cervical esophagus (V4). We also measured their swallowing pressure durations by analyzing PPT. Results: V1 to V4 were 24.7, 14.5, 15.0, and 4.7 cm/sec, respectively. The differences between V1 versus V2 and V3 versus V4 were statistically significant. Swallowing pressure durations at the same regions were 0.57, 0.23, 1.94, and 1.27 seconds, respectively. Conclusion: These findings indicate the conduction pattern of pressures. The CV from the mesopharynx to the UES is almost constant because of the anatomical similarity of middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors. The duration at the UES is longer than the others; this accounts for the prevention of backflow from the esophagus.

Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the effects of chin position during swallowing in the neutral, chin-up, and chin-tucked positions using a novel high-resolution manometry (HRM) system. Method: Twenty asymptomatic volunteers were studied by HRM. We measured the maximum swallowing pressures at the velopharynx, mesohypopharynx, and upper esophageal sphincter (UES), the mean values of resting UES pressure, its length, the minimum swallowing pressure at UES, and the relaxation interval (RI) of UES, in each position. Results: In the chin-up position, in comparison with the neutral position, the maximum UES pressure (311.1 mmHg vs 214.7 mmHg; P < .01), the mean value of the resting UES pressure (67.0 mmHg vs 29.5 mmHg; P < .01), the length of the UES (44.2 cm vs 32.7 cm; P < .01), and the minimum UES pressure during the RI (−0.5 mmHg vs −6.9 mmHg; P < .01) increased and the RI (0.29 sec vs 0.63 sec; P < .01) decreased significantly. In the chin-tucked position, significant change was seen only in the minimum UES pressure during the RI (−4.5 mmHg vs −6.9 mmHg; P < .05). Conclusion: The chin-tucked position showed no change except for the increase in UES pressure during RI, and seemed to have no appreciable benefit in the facilitation of swallowing. In contrast, the chin-up position brought a marked disadvantageous effect against smooth swallowing by increasing the pressure in the region of the UES.

Abstract
Human colorectal adenocarcinoma tumor (CW2) cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 media containing 0-7.5 mM aspirin and 10% fetal bovine serum for the production of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). By adding aspirin to the media, the production of CEA per cell increased by up to one hundred fold compared to cultivation in normal media containing no aspirin, even though the total cell concentration decreased with the increase in aspirin in the media. The production of CEA was also investigated for CW2 cells cultured on silk fibroin, poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate) and poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate)/poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymer films prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett and casting methods. The highest production of CEA per cell was observed for the CW2 cells on poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate) and its diblock copolymer films prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett method in the medium containing 5 mM aspirin after 168 hr of inoculation. This originates from the fact that the cell density on the films in the medium containing 5 mM aspirin was the lowest under these conditions. It is suggested that CW2 cells produce CEA more effectively when the cell growth is suppressed by addition of toxic chemicals such as aspirin or by culture on unfavorable films for cell growth.

Abstract
Normal human skin (NB1-RGB) cells were cultured in the presenceof polyinosinic and polycytidylic acids, diethylaminoethyldextran, cycloheximide and actinomycin D, which induced humaninterferon-beta. The simplest induction method, that requiredonly polyinosinic and polycytidylic acids and diethylaminoethyldextran was found to give the highest production ofinterferon-beta by the cells. The cell growth and productionof interferon-beta were investigated for NB1-RGB cellscultured on silk fibroin, poly(gamma-methyl-L-glutamate),poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate) and collagen films prepared bythe Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and casting methods. The cell densityof NB1-RGB cells cultured on the LB films was found to be higherthan that on the cast films made of the same polymer. Thisindicates that not only the chemical structure of the polymersused for the preparation of the films but the preparationmethods of the films, i.e., casting and LB methods, are also astrong factor affecting the cell growth. The production ofinterferon-beta per unit number of cells was found to behigher on the cast films than that on the LB films made of thesame polymer. This is explained by the fact that the optimalsuppressed growth of NB1-RGB cells on the cast films leads tothe enhanced production of interferon-beta on the cast filmscompared to those on the LB films prepared by the same polymer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of effortful swallow on pharyngeal pressure while swallowing saliva and water using a novel high-resolution manometry (HRM) system. STUDY DESIGN Case series with planned data collection. SETTING Nagasaki University Hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eighteen asymptomatic Japanese adult volunteers were studied. A solid-state HRM assembly with 36 circumferential sensors spaced 1 cm apart was positioned from the velopharynx to the upper esophagus to record pressures while swallowing. The maximum values of the pressure while swallowing saliva (dry swallowing) and 5 mL of water were measured at the velopharynx, meso-hypopharynx, and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) with and without effortful swallows. RESULTS The maximum values of dry swallowing pressures (mm Hg) at the velopharynx, meso-hypopharynx, and UES were significantly higher with effortful swallow (155.7 ± 59.7, 256.7 ± 78.7, and 276.5 ± 87.5, mean ± standard deviation) than without it (115.3 ± 60.8, 172.9 ± 57.0, and 195.8 ± 61.3). Those of water swallowing pressures were also statistically higher with effortful swallow (169.3 ± 69.1, 236.6 ± 77.2, and 267.3 ± 79.1) than without it (119.2 ± 59.7, 189.5 ± 70.7, and 221.3 ± 72.7). CONCLUSION The present results provide quantitative evidence of effortful swallow as well as physiological information. It also is hoped to be an aid to future clinical and investigative studies.

Abstract
We demonstrate a new method to switch on and off the rotational motion of a long-chain molecule by controlling the bonding geometry between the molecule and a substrate. An azobenzene derivative molecule adsorbed on a Au(111) surface is immobile only when its three rotation centers, comprised of two phenyl rings and a nitrogen-nitrogen bond, are located at hollow sites of the Au(111) surface, as observed by scanning tunneling microscopy. Rotational motion can be activated by exciting the vibrational modes and inducing hopping motion away from the immobile site with a voltage pulse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired vagal function has been reported to be important in some patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). However, the pathophysiologic mechanisms influencing the cephalic phase of vagal activity in FD are incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the gastric response to modified sham feeding (MSF) on ultrasound and cardiovascular autonomic function in FD patients. METHODS Nineteen patients with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS, 11 men and eight women; mean age: 48.2 years) and 26 healthy subjects (HS, 13 men and 13 women; mean age: 45.0 years) were studied prospectively. Firstly, cardiovascular autonomic function was assessed by spectral analysis of RR interval variability. Antral contraction was then evaluated by ultrasonography after MSF was performed to stimulate the cephalic phase of vagal activity. KEY RESULTS Spectral analysis of RR interval variability showed that the high-frequency component was significantly smaller in the patients than in the HS (P<0.01). The frequency of antral contraction in response to MSF over 15 min was also significantly lower in the PDS patients than in the HS. The 15-min integrated antral contractile response (area under the contraction vs time curve) was significantly smaller in the PDS patients than in the HS (P<0.01). Univariate analysis revealed a modest correlation between the high-frequency component of RR interval variability and the area under the contraction vs time curve (n=46, r=0.49, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Autonomic abnormalities affecting the cephalic phase of vagal activity may be important in the pathogenesis of FD.

Abstract
A 54-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of chest discomfort. Cardiac catheterization revealed partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with an intact atrial septum. The right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) drained into the upper segment of the superior vena cava (SVC). Using the Williams procedure, an atrial septal defect (ASD) was created and a fresh autologous pericardial patch was used to fashion a new pulmonary vein return route from SVC to the ASD. Although the patient was stable after the procedure, he was admitted again 6 months later because of obstruction of RUPV. At reoperation, it was found that the previous pulmonary vein route was obstructed and that the pericardial baffle had adhered to the atrial septum above the ASD. The shrunken and thickened pericardial baffle was removed and the orifice of the ASD was extensively enlarged, after which an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) patch was used as a new baffle. After the reoperation, the patient's condition improved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with the interstitial lung disease (ILD) have been excluded from clinical trials, it is uncertain whether chemotherapy really provides a benefit to these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifteen advanced NSCLC patients with ILD that was detected on the chest X-rays were enrolled in this study. Carboplatin plus paclitaxel was administered by two methods (method A or method B). Method A: Carboplatin (AUC 6, day 1) and paclitaxel (70 mg/m(2), days 1, 8, 15) were administered every four weeks. Method B: Carboplatin (AUC 2, day 1, 8, 15) and paclitaxel (60 mg/m(2), days 1, 8, 15) were administered every four weeks. RESULTS The response rate and the disease control rate were 33% and 53%. The median progression-free survival and the median overall survival time were 2.5 months and 7.0 months, respectively. The hematological toxicities were tolerable, but a grade 3 or higher pneumonitis was observed in 4 patients (27%). CONCLUSION Carboplatin plus weekly paclitaxel must be administered carefully to advanced NSCLC patients with ILD that is detected on chest X-rays after a sufficient evaluation of the risks and the benefits.
