Abstract
We report conclusive evidence of an efficient cooling mechanism via the electronic radiative transitions of hot small molecular anions isolated in vacuum. We stored C6(-) and C6H(-) in an ion storage ring and observed laser-induced electron detachment with delays up to several milliseconds. The terminal hydrogen atom caused a drastic change in the decay profiles. The decay of photoexcited C6H(-) is slow and nonexponential, which can be explained by depletion cooling, whereas that for C6(-) occurs extremely fast, on a time scale below 0.1 ms and can only be explained by electronic radiative cooling via low-lying electronic excited states.

Abstract
Due to advances in endoscopic equipment and techniques, preoperative endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) has been developed to serve as an alternative to percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). This study sought to clarify the benefit of EBD in comparison to PTBD in patients who underwent radical resections of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. One hundred and forty-one patients underwent radical surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma between 2000 and 2008 were retrospectively divided into two groups based on the type of preoperative biliary drainage, PTBD (n = 67) or EBD (n = 74). We investigated if the different biliary drainage methods affected postoperative survival and mode of recurrence after median observation period of 82 months. The survival rate for patients who underwent EBD was significantly higher than those who had PTBD (P = 0.004). Multivariate analysis revealed that PTBD was one of the independent factors predictive of poor survival (hazard ratio: 2.075, P = 0.003). Patients with PTBD more frequently developed peritoneal seeding in comparison to those who underwent EBD (P = 0.0003). PTBD was the only independent factor predictive of peritoneal seeding. In conclusion, EBD might confer an improved prognosis over PTBD due to prevention of peritoneal seeding, and is recommended as the initial procedure for preoperative biliary drainage in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the safety and feasibility and discuss the oncological impact of a portal vein resection using the no-touch technique with a hepatectomy for locally advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2005 to March 2009, 49 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent a major right-sided hepatectomy with curative intent. Portal vein resection was performed using the no-touch technique in 36 patients (PVR group) but the portal vein was not resected in the other 13 patients (NR group). Peri-operative data and histological findings were compared between the two groups. Moreover, tumour recurrence and survival rates after surgery were calculated and compared for each group. RESULTS Although the tumours of the patients in the PVR group were more locally advanced, the residual tumour status and tumour recurrence rate were similar and there was no significant difference in long-term survival between the two groups: 5-year survival rates in the PVR and NR groups were 59% and 51%, respectively (P = 0.353). In-hospital mortality was encountered in 2 of the 49 patients. CONCLUSION A portal vein resection using the no-touch technique with a right-sided hepatectomy had a positive impact on survival and is feasible in terms of long-term outcomes with acceptable mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS There have been few papers on how to treat hepatobiliary malignancies after ERCP-related pancreatitis focusing on the timing of the operation and postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship among the time after the pancreatitis, the complexity of the operation, and the characteristic postoperative complications. METHODOLOGY The clinicopathological characteristics of five patients with hepatobiliary malignancies who had a prior history of ERCP-related pancreatitis were analyzed. RESULTS The five patients included two with extrahepatic bile duct carcinomas, two with ampulla of Vater carcinomas, and one with intrahepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The median time to the operation from pancreatitis was 31 (16-116) days. The median operation time and blood loss were 661 (576-924) min and 3695 (2730-7240) mL, respectively. Various postoperative complications were seen in all cases including acute respiratory distress syndrome and infection of peripancreatic necrosis. The postoperative mortality rate was 0%, with a morbidity rate of 100%. R0 operations were performed in all five cases. CONCLUSIONS Surgery for hepatobiliary malignancies after ERCP-related pancreatitis appears to have a high morbidity rate. The surgery must strike a balance between curability of the malignancy and safety with respect to the frequent postoperative complications.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Little is known about the immune response in the tumor microenvironment after chemotherapy for initially unresectable tumor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunological effects of chemoradiation therapy in the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Seventeen patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with and without preoperative chemoradiation therapy were retrospectively analyzed using immunohistochemical methods for HLA class I heavy chain, CD4(+), CD8(+), CD45RO(+) and Foxp3(+) T cell infiltrations. Seven of the 17 study patients received preoperative chemoradiation therapy. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell infiltrations in the tumor microenvironment. However, the number of Foxp3(+) T cell infiltrations was significantly lower in the neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy group. The HLA class I expression status was the same between the two groups. In conclusion, preoperative chemoradiation therapy in pancreatic adenocarcinoma is useful for reducing regulatory T cell levels in combination with its direct cytotoxic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare neoplasms. Little is known about the mode of recurrence and long term prognosis after resection. We aimed to evaluate the surgical indication, especially for the patients with concomitant multiple liver metastases or extreme local invasions. METHODOLOGY The overall survival (OS) and the disease free survival (DFS) were statistically analyzed for twenty one patients with PNETs who underwent surgical intervention in our institute. The patients were divided into 2 groups, G1 NET (grade 1 neuroendocrine tumor: n=11) and G2 NET (grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor: n=10), according to WHO 2010 classification. The radical operation was indicated if curative resection were expected to be achievable. Otherwise,alternative multi-disciplinary treatments were introduced especially for the hepatic metastasis or repeated recurrences. RESULTS Median follow-up period was 37 months (range 7-69). OS was 100% at 3 years and 86% at 5 years. DFS was 62% at 3 years and 39% at 5 years. Disease recurrence developed more frequently in G2 NET, compared to G1 NET. However, there was statistically no difference for the OS between these two groups. CONCLUSIONS Appropriate radical operation with multi-disciplinary treatments could contribute to the patients' survival in the treatment strategy of PNETs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Our institution has utilized a duodenum-preserving pancreas head resection (DPPHR) procedure for management of low-grade malignant lesions within the head of the pancreas, but this has resulted in a higher rate of postoperative complications, including pancreatic fistula and ischemic bile duct injury. To avoid these complications we recently modified DPPHR to resect all the parenchyma around the pancreatic head and to preserve the epicholedochal plexus around the bile duct. The goal of this study was to investigate outcomes with postoperative complications and disease control following this modified procedure. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive patients underwent DPPHR between 1994 and 2011. Patients were retrospectively classified into one of two groups: the conventional DPPHR group (cDPPHR) or the modified DPPHR group (mDPPHR). Perioperative factors and postoperative complications were compared between these two groups. RESULTS The median age of the 21 patients was 61 (23-77) years, and the median follow-up period was 51 months. Intra-operational blood loss was significantly smaller and duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the mDPPHR group than in the cDPPHR group, respectively. The rate of pancreatic fistula was markedly lower in the mDPPHR group (2/13; 15%) than in the cDPPHR group (7/8; 88%) (P = 0.0022). For neoplastic lesions, the surgical margin was negative in all cases, and local recurrence has not occurred in either group. CONCLUSIONS For selected patients, modified DPPHR may provide clinical benefits in terms of less complications associated with shorter hospital stay.

Abstract
In several clinical situations, including resection of malignant or benign biliary lesions, reconstruction of the biliary system using the Roux-en-Y jejunum limb has been adopted as the standard procedure. The basic technique and the procedural knowledge essential for most gastroenterological surgeons are described in this article, along with a video supplement. Low complication rates involving anastomotic insufficiency or stricture can be achieved by using proper surgical techniques, even following small bile duct reconstruction. Using the ropeway method to stabilize the bile duct and jejunal limb allows precise mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis with interrupted sutures of the posterior row of the anastomosis. Placement of a transanastomotic stent tube is the second step. The final step involves suturing the anterior row of the anastomosis. In contrast to the lower extrahepatic bile duct, the wall of the hilar or intrahepatic bile duct can be recognized within the fibrous connective tissue in the Glissonean pedicle. The portal side of the duct should be selected for the posterior wall during anastomosis owing to its thickness. Meticulous inspection to avoid overlooking small bile ducts could decrease the chance of postoperative intractable bile leakage. In reconstruction of small or fragile branches, a transanastomotic stent tube could work as an anchor for the anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Little information is available about the long-term prognosis after hepatectomy for liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). To clarify the prognosis for liver metastases of NETs after hepatectomy and to identify a practical and useful surgical indication for hepatic metastases of NETs. METHODOLOGY Twenty-four patients with NET were divided into 2 groups: the nHM group (patients without hepatic metastasis, n=13) and the HM group (patients with hepatic metastasis or recurrences, n=11). Hepatectomy was indicated for metastases or disease recurrences in the liver if R0 resection was expected to be achievable. Patient clinicopathological features, mode of recurrences and treatment for them were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS The median follow-up period for the 24 patients was 34 months (range 7-69) and the disease specific survival rate was 82% at 5 years. DSS at 5 years did not differ between patients with and without hepatic recurrence (91% vs. 75% respectively, p=0.6144), even though the histological grade and the MIB-1 index were higher in the HM group. CONCLUSIONS Patient prognosis was acceptable following our policy of hepatectomy for NET liver metastases. Survival could be improved by intensive multimodal treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have already reported the feasibility, safety, and excellent long-term results of distal pancreatectomy with en-bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) for locally advanced pancreatic body cancer. An international standard for the surgical technique of DP-CAR has yet to be established. METHODS DP-CAR was carefully performed in 42 patients in Hokkaido University Hospital from 1998 to July 2007. Arterial blood flow alteration and collateral flow development toward the liver and stomach was obtained following preoperative routine transcatheter arterial embolization of the common hepatic artery. The right-sided approach to the superior mesenteric artery and celiac artery, and the preservation of the inferior pancreatoduodenal artery during the dissection of the plexus around the pancreatic head, are the key techniques in DP-CAR. RESULTS The operative morbidity and mortality were 43 and 4.8%, respectively. R0 resection could be done in 39 (93%) patients. Median operation time and intraoperative blood loss were 478 min and 1030 ml, respectively. Ischemic gastropathy was complicated in 5 (12%) patients, but liver abscess was found in only one patient and no liver failure was encountered. CONCLUSIONS We emphasize again the feasibility and safety of DP-CAR; it should be a treatment of choice for locally advanced pancreatic body cancer.

Abstract
Faecal samples were collected from the rectum of 540 domestic dogs from four districts (Lusaka, Katete, Petauke and Luangwa) in Zambia between 2005 and 2006 and prevalences of canine alimentary tract parasites were determined by coprological examination. Thirteen different ova and parasites including strongyle (43.3%), Spirocerca lupi (18.7%), taeniid (13.1%), Toxocara canis (7.6%), Sarcocystis sp.* (7.5%), Isospora sp.* (5.7%), Physaloptera sp.* (4.6%), Capillaria sp.* (2.8%), Dipylidium caninum (2.2%), Mesocestoides sp.* (2.0%), Ascaris sp.* (1.7%), Trichuris vulpis* (0.4%) and Schistosoma mansoni* (0.4%) were detected, Ascaris and Schistosoma probably originating from coprophagy. The species with asterisks and later-described Taenia multiceps are for the first time reported from dogs in Zambia. A coproantigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CoproAg-ELISA) developed for Echinococcus spp. revealed 43 positive dogs and 37 of these harboured taeniid eggs. From 63 of the 71 taeniid egg-positive samples, eggs and DNA thereof were isolated and subjected to a multiplex polymerase chain reaction for differentiating E. granulosus sensu lato, E. multilocularis and Taenia spp. Amplicons indicative for Taenia spp. were obtained from 60 samples. Sequencing of amplicons spanning part of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene, which was possible with 38 samples, revealed 35 infections with T. hydatigena and 3 with T. multiceps. Therefore, the CoproAg-ELISA showed some positives, but concrete evidence for the existence of canine E. granulosus infection could not be established. Comparison of the results of the CoproAg-ELISA and Taenia species identification indicated that the CoproAg-ELISA cross-reacts with patent infections of T. hydatigena (57%) and T. multiceps (33%).

Abstract
The controversy over whether and how to perform preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCA) remains unsettled. Arguments against PBD before pancreatoduodenectomy have recently been gaining momentum. However, the complication-related mortality rate is as high as 10% for patients with HCA who have undergone major liver resection, and liver failure is a major cause of postoperative death. This suggests the need for PBD to treat jaundice in HCA patients scheduled for major surgical resection of the liver and that major surgery should be performed only after the recovery of hepatic function. No definite criteria or guidelines outlining indications for PBD are currently available. In patients with HCA, PBD may be performed by either percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD). No consensus, however, has been reached regarding which drainage method is more appropriate. No reported study has compared the effectiveness of PTBD, endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS), and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) in patients with HCA. This review summarizes the results of our study comparing the three methods and outlines the preoperative endoscopic management of segmental cholangitis (SC) in HCA patients undergoing PBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE It is important to predict the development of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) in the early period after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study has been carried out as a project study of the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHPBS) to evaluate the predictive factors associated with clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C). METHOD The data of 1,239 patients from 11 medical institutions who had undergone PD between July 2005 and June 2009 were retrospectively analyzed to review patient characteristics and perioperative and postoperative parameters. RESULTS A drain amylase level >4,000 IU/L on postoperative day (POD) 1 was proposed as the cut-off level to predict clinical relevant pancreatic fistula by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of this cut-off level were 62.2, 89.0, and 84.8%, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male [odds ratio (OR) 1.7, P = 0.039], intraoperative bleeding >1,000 ml (OR 2.5, P = 0.001), soft pancreas (OR 2.7, P = 0.001), and drain amylase level on POD 1 >4,000 IU/L (OR 8.6, P < 0.001) were the significant predictive factors for clinical pancreatic fistula. CONCLUSION The four predictive risk factors identified here can provide useful information useful for tailoring postoperative management of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C).

Abstract
Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs) are relatively rare. Owing to their slow growing characteristics, an aggressive surgical approach has been considered to improve patients' survival. A case of PET with portal vein (PV) thrombus, successfully treated by distal pancreatectomy with concomitant PV resection and removal of PV tumor thrombus, preserving collateral pathways, is reported.

Abstract
340 Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is one of the most common malignancies of the biliary tract. Because of the lack of specific presentations, this condition is frequently diagnosed only at an advanced stage. Obstructive jaundice is generally regarded as an indicator of far advanced disease, unresectability, and poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinicopathological factors, especially jaundice, influencing outcome after radical resection of gallbladder cancer, in order to identify the patients benefiting from radical surgery. Methods: Seventy-five patients with GBC underwent surgical resection between 1998 and 2008. A retrospective analysis was conducted on sixty-four patients with UICC T2 or more tumors. Clinicopathologic features, extents of resection, and survival rates were investigated retrospectively. Obstructive jaundice was defined that serum T-bil level was more than 2.0 mg/ml. Patients with jaundice underwent ENBD or PTBD and curative resection was performed when serum T-Bil level decreased below 2.0 mg/ml. Right after laparotomy, para-aortic lymphadenectomy and frozen section pathology were performed to convert a radical resection to a palliative procedure when a para-aortic lymph node was positive. Results: The three and five-year disease-specific survival rates were 47% and 41%, respectively. Nine patients survived for more than five years.Univariate analysis showed that blood loss during operation, hepatic invasion, portal vein invasion, N category, M category after postoperative pathological examination and residual tumor were significant prognostic factors (p<0.05), but multivariate analysis showed that M category only was independent prognostic factor (p<0.05). Five-year disease-specific survival rates for patients with (n=37) and without (n=27) obstructive jaundice were 47% and 35%, respectively (p=0.69). Conclusions: Obstructive jaundice had no impact on postoperative survival as long as metastatic disease was exclueded and adequate resection of the hepatic hilum was performed. Aggressive surgery might bring long-term survival in selected patients even with obstructive jaundice by advanced gallbladder cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We measured kinetic energies of the fragment ions of argon dimers multiply ionized by low-energy Ar(9+) collisions. For (Ar2)(4+) dissociation, the asymmetric channel (Ar(3+) + Ar(+)) yield is found unexpectedly higher than the symmetric channel (Ar(2+) + Ar(2+)) yield in contrast with previous observation for covalent molecules or clusters. For the dissociation channel (Ar2)(2+)→Ar(+) + Ar(+), two well-separated peaks were observed, clearly evidencing that the direct Coulombic dissociation and the radiative charge transfer followed by ionic dissociation alternatively occur for the dicationic dimers. The respective intensity of these two peaks provides a direct mean to unravel the respective proportion of one-site and two-site double-electron capture, which are found equal for this collision system.
