Abstract
Small intestinal ulcers include mucosal damage caused by drugs, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], infectious diseases, and idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease. Previously, a group of Japanese investigators reported an unusual and uncommon type of enteritis and referred to the condition as chronic nonspecific multiple ulcers of the small intestine [CNSU]. CNSU is characterised by chronic blood and protein loss through persistent small intestinal ulcers. Recently, four candidate mutations in the solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 2A1 [SLCO2A1] gene, encoding a prostaglandin transporter, were identified by whole-exome sequencing in patients with CNSU. However, because the name 'CNSU' was somewhat ambiguous, the more appropriate nomenclature of 'chronic enteropathy associated with the SLCO2A1 gene' [CEAS] has been suggested. CEAS ulcers are characterised by multiple, circular or eccentric oblique, shallow lesions with discrete margins. The most frequently affected site of CEAS is the ileum, in contrast to 'cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis [CMUSE]', for which the most frequent site is the jejunum. Impaired prostaglandin utilisation is thought to cause the small intestinal mucosal damage observed in CEAS, CMUSE, and NSAID-induced enteropathy. This review article focuses on endoscopic and clinical features of genetically diagnosed CEAS, accumulated in a nationwide survey, and illustrates the observations in the format of an atlas.

Abstract
With the development of transplantation of hepatocytes into the spleen, interest has focused on the metabolic changes associated with hepatocyte proliferation. As these changes are important for drug metabolism in hepatocytes, we examined the expression and inducibility of the cytochrome P450 IIIA family within transplanted hepatocytes. Fetal hepatocytes were harvested at 20 days of gestation from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and transplanted into recipient adult SHR spleens. Microscopic examination of the recipient spleens 4 and 10 wk after transplantation revealed masses of hepatocytes with cordlike structures in the red pulp. Proliferating hepatocytes were detected with a bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) immunohistochemical stain. Immunochemical studies detected cytochromes (cytos) P450 p and P450 HLp in fetal hepatocytes before transplantation without prior induction. And although these cytos were not detected by 10 wk after transplantation, they were induced with dexamethasone. These results demonstrated that fetal hepatocytes can be transplanted successfully into recipient spleens and suggested that fetal hepatocytes grow in the spleen, similar to the adult hepatocyte response.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from a complex series of interactions between susceptibility genes, the environment, and the immune system. Recently, some studies provided strong evidence that the process of autophagy affects several aspects of mucosal immune responses. Autophagy is a cellular stress response that plays key roles in physiological processes, such as innate and adaptive immunity, adaptation to starvation, degradation of aberrant proteins or organelles, antimicrobial defense, and protein secretion. Dysfunctional autophagy is recognized as a contributing factor in many chronic inflammatory diseases, including IBD. Autophagy plays multiple roles in IBD pathogenesis by altering processes that include intracellular bacterial killing, antimicrobial peptide secretion by Paneth cells, goblet cell function, proinflammatory cytokine production by macrophages, antigen presentation by dendritic cells, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in enterocytes. Recent studies have identified susceptibility genes involved in autophagy, such as NOD2, ATG16L1, and IRGM, and active research is ongoing all over the world. The aim of this review is a systematic appraisal of the current literature to provide a better understanding of the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of IBD. Understanding these mechanisms will bring about new strategies for the treatment and prevention of IBD.

Abstract
Despite the emergence of new biological therapies that aim for mucosal healing as a new therapeutic target, the importance of 5-ASA formulations in the standard treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly ulcerative colitis, remains unchanged. With a growing number of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases in Japan, general physicians are also increasingly prescribing 5-ASA formulations. In order to obtain the maximum efficacy of 5-ASA formulations when treating inflammatory bowel diseases, it is essential that the dosage and administration are appropriate.

Abstract
778 Background: The CORRECT trial revealed the safety and efficacy of regorafenib (REG) for patients (pts) with colorectal cancer including Japanese. REG was approved in Japan in March 2013. However, there are few studies exploring the efficacy and safety of REG in a large number of patients, particularly in daily practice. Methods: We analyzed 173 pts who received REG from May 2013 in the multi-institutional retrospective study (HGCSG1401). This study was analyzed by CTCAE v4.0 for adverse events (AEs), RECIST v1.1 for response rate (RR)/disease control rate (DCR), and Kaplan-Meier method for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Patients’ characteristics were as follows; male/female 98/75, median age 66 (range 29-87), ECOG PS (0/1/2/3) 58/96/18/1, KRAS Exon2 wild/mutant 98/74 (1 patient ; KRAS Exon2 status was not tested). The initial starting dose was 160 mg (n = 145, 83.8%), 120mg (n = 22, 12.7%), and 80mg (n = 6, 3.5%) respectively. Dose reductions were required in 73 pts (42.2%); 38 pts (22.0%) discontinued therapy due to AEs. The common ≥ grade 3 AEs ( ≥ 15%) were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (n = 48; 27.7%), hypertension (n = 34; 19.7%), proteinuria (n = 24; 19.2%) and AST increased (n = 24; 13.9%). RR and disease control rate (DCR) were 1.3% and 29.6%, respectively. Median PFS and median survival time (MST) were 2.1 and 6.3 months. In an analysis on relationship between ECOG PS (PS 0-1 vs. PS 2-3) and efficacy, median PFS was 2.3 vs. 1.2 months (HR 3.598, p < 0.001), and MST was 7.0 vs. 2.1 months (HR 4.751, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The efficacy of REG in pts with PS 0–1 was similar to the previous report; however, REG was not effective in patients with PS 2–3. In adverse events, hypertension and liver dysfunction were expressed more frequently than previously reported. We will continue the analysis of the factors associated with liver dysfunction and prognostic/predictive factors.

Abstract
AIM To identify risk factors for post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB), focusing on antithrombotic agents.
METHODS This was a case-control study based on medical records at a single center. PPB was defined as bleeding that occurred 6 h to 10 d after colonoscopic polypectomy and required endoscopic hemostasis. As risk factors for PPB, patient-related factors including anticoagulants, antiplatelets and heparin bridge therapy as well as polyp- and procedure-related factors were evaluated. All colonoscopic hot polypectomies, endoscopic mucosal resections and endoscopic submucosal dissections performed between January 2011 and December 2014 were reviewed.
RESULTS PPB occurred in 29 (3.7%) of 788 polypectomies performed during the study period. Antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents were prescribed for 210 (26.6%) patients and were ceased before polypectomy except for aspirin and cilostazol in 19 cases. Bridging therapy using intravenous unfractionated heparin was adopted for 73 patients. The univariate analysis revealed that anticoagulants, heparin bridge, and anticoagulants plus heparin bridge were significantly associated with PPB (P < 0.0001) whereas antiplatelets and antiplatelets plus heparin were not. None of the other factors including age, gender, location, size, shape, number of resected polyps, prophylactic clipping and resection method were correlated with PPB. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that anticoagulants and anticoagulants plus heparin bridge therapy were significant risk factors for PPB (P < 0.0001). Of the 29 PPB cases, 4 required transfusions and none required surgery. A thromboembolic event occurred in a patient who took anticoagulant.
CONCLUSION Patients taking anticoagulants have an increased risk of PPB, even if the anticoagulants are interrupted before polypectomy. Heparin-bridge therapy might be responsible for the increased PPB in patients taking anticoagulants.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common cause of opportunistic infection leading to severe and fatal disease in immune-compromised individuals. In inflammatory bowel disease patients, particularly those with ulcerative colitis (UC), CMV is often reactivated because these patients are frequently treated with immunosuppressive agents. Many reports have described the relationship between CMV reactivation and UC exacerbation, however, a therapeutic strategy for CMV infection in UC patients has not been established. Area covered: This review highlights therapeutic strategies for UC patients with CMV infection. Recent findings have suggested a benefit from antiviral therapy in patients with histologically proven CMV colitis and/or a high colonic CMV load as determined by quantitative PCR. Expert commentary: To decide who requires antiviral therapies and when we start antiviral therapies, prospective studies of large numbers of UC patients with CMV infection are needed. However, we should know that the bottom-line therapy for UC patients with CMV infection is to optimally control mucosal inflammation.

Abstract
Twelve high schools in Japan (of which six are in Fukushima Prefecture), four in France, eight in Poland and two in Belarus cooperated in the measurement and comparison of individual external doses in 2014. In total 216 high-school students and teachers participated in the study. Each participant wore an electronic personal dosimeter 'D-shuttle' for two weeks, and kept a journal of his/her whereabouts and activities. The distributions of annual external doses estimated for each region overlap with each other, demonstrating that the personal external individual doses in locations where residence is currently allowed in Fukushima Prefecture and in Belarus are well within the range of estimated annual doses due to the terrestrial background radiation level of other regions/countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parameters reported in pathologic reviews have been failing to assess exactly the malignant potential of gastrointestinal cancers. We hypothesized that malignant potential could be defined by common latent variables (hypothesis I), but there are substantial differences in the associations between malignant potential and pathologic parameters according to the origin of gastrointestinal cancers (hypothesis II). We shed light on these issues by structural equation modeling. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 217 esophageal, 192 gastric, and 175 colorectal cancer patients who consecutively underwent curative surgery for their pathologic stage I cancers at Keiyukai Sapporo Hospital. Latent variables identified by factor analysis and seven conventional pathologic parameters were introduced in the structural equation modeling analysis. RESULTS Because latent variables were disparate except for their number, 'three' in the examined gastrointestinal cancers, the first hypothesis was rejected. Because configural invariance across gastrointestinal cancers was not approved, the second hypothesis was verified. We could trace the three significant paths on the causal graph from latent variables to lymph node metastasis, which were mediated through depth, lymphatic invasion, and matrilysin expression in esophageal cancer, whereas only one significant path could be traced in both gastric and colorectal cancer. Two of the three latent variables were exogenous in esophageal cancer, whereas one factor was exogenous in the other gastrointestinal cancers. Cancer stemness promoted viability in esophageal cancer, but it was suppressed in others. CONCLUSION These results reflect the malignant potential of esophageal cancer is higher than that of the other gastrointestinal cancers. Such information might contribute to refining clinical treatments for gastrointestinal cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The common disease-common variant hypothesis is insufficient to explain the complexities of Crohn's disease (CD) genetics; therefore, rare variants are expected to be important in the disease. We explored rare variants associated with susceptibility to CD in Japanese individuals by personal genomic analysis. METHODS Two-step analyses were performed. The first step was a trio analysis with whole-exome sequence (WES) analysis and the second was a follow-up case-control association study. The WES analysis pipeline comprised Burrows-Wheeler Aligner, Picard, Genome Analysis Toolkit, and SAMTOOLS. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs)/indels were annotated and filtered by using programs implemented in ANNOVAR in combination with identity-by-descent (IBD), subsequently were subjected to the linkage based, and de novo based strategies. Finally, we conducted an association study that included 176 unrelated subjects with CD and 358 healthy control subjects. RESULTS In family members, 234,067-297,523 SNVs/indels were detected and they were educed to 106-146 by annotation based filtering. Fifty-four CD variants common to both individuals of the affected sib pair were identified. The linkage based strategy detected five candidate variants whereas the de novo based strategy identified no variants. Consequently, five candidates were analyzed in the case-control association study. CD showed a significant association with one variant in exon 4 of IL23R, G149R [rs76418789, P = 3.9E-5, odds ratio (OR) 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.09-0.47 for the dominant model (AA + AG versus GG), and P = 7.3E-5, OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.10-0.48 for AG versus GG, and P = 7.2E-5, OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.10-0.50 for the allele model]. CONCLUSIONS The present study, using personal genomics analysis of a small CD pedigree, is the first to show that the low-frequency non-synonymous variant of IL23R, rs76418789, protects against CD development in Japanese subjects.

Abstract
The role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in tumorigenesis remains controversial. Therefore, our goal was to determine whether exogenous MSCs possess intrinsic antineoplastic or proneoplastic properties in azoxymethane (AOM)-induced carcinogenesis. Three in vivo models were studied: an AOM/dextran sulfate sodium colitis-associated carcinoma model, an aberrant crypt foci model, and a model to assess the acute apoptotic response of a genotoxic carcinogen (AARGC). We also performed in vitro coculture experiments. As a result, we found that MSCs partially canceled AOM-induced tumor initiation but not tumor promotion. Moreover, MSCs inhibited the AARGC in colonic epithelial cells because of the removal of O(6)-methylguanine (O(6) MeG) adducts through O(6) MeG-DNA methyltransferase activation. Furthermore, MSCs broadly affected the cell-cycle machinery, potentially leading to G1 arrest in vivo. Coculture of IEC-6 rat intestinal cells with MSCs not only arrested the cell cycle at the G1 phase, but also induced apoptosis. The anti-carcinogenetic properties of MSCs in vitro required transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling because such properties were completely abrogated by absorption of TGF-β under indirect coculture conditions. MSCs inhibited AOM-induced tumor initiation by preventing the initiating cells from sustaining DNA insults and subsequently inducing G1 arrest in the initiated cells that escaped from the AARGC. Furthermore, tumor initiation perturbed by MSCs might potentially dysregulate WNT and TGF-β-Smad signaling pathways in subsequent tumorigenesis. Obtaining a better understanding of MSC functions in colon carcinogenesis is essential before commencing the broader clinical application of promising MSC-based therapies for cancer-prone patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested that narrow band imaging (NBI) is useful for detecting superficial pharyngeal cancer. Nevertheless, pharyngeal observation is not a routine practice during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Two aims of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of pharyngeal observation during upper GI endoscopy and to determine the prevalence of pharyngeal cancer in asymptomatic high-risk patients. METHODS Fifty-year-old or older asymptomatic males with smoking and drinking habits were prospectively recruited as a pharyngeal cancer high-risk group. A total of 224 high-risk patients underwent pharyngeal observation using NBI before conventional upper GI endoscopy. The feasibility of pharyngeal examination without sedation was assessed by a questionnaire for the first 60 participants. RESULTS The median time for pharyngeal observation was 1.7 min. The questionnaire demonstrated 88% of participants thought the pharyngeal examination acceptable. The NBI examination identified 5 superficial pharyngeal cancers (2 Tis and 3 T1) in 224 high-risk patients; the prevalence of pharyngeal cancer in this group was 2.2%. Three of the 5 patients had a concurrent or past history of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). CONCLUSIONS Pharyngeal observation using NBI during upper GI endoscopy is well tolerated and recommended for all high-risk patients, particularly those with a history of ESCC. Basel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate tooth position after six and 9 months of orthodontics with conventional brackets on one side of the dentition and ligature-less brackets on the other. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Orthodontic Division, Vienna Medical University. Twenty patients aged 22.5 ± 5.7 years, symmetrical malocclusion and arch form, no premolar extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective split-mouth study, 0.022-inch SmartClip self-ligating brackets assigned randomly to the left or right dentition, conventional 0.018-inch brackets on the other side. 52 dental landmarks, digitized on plaster casts, represented dental arches at baseline (t0), 6 months and 9 months (t1, t2). During t0-t1, we used 0.016 and 0.014 x 0.025 inch superelastic wires, during t1-t2 connected reverse-curve hemiarch wires: 0.017 x 0.025 inch ß-titanium on the ligature-less side, and 0.016 x 0.022 inch Elgiloy multiloop wires on conventional brackets. Morphometric analyses were used to assess differences in dental arch shapes. RESULTS Neither initial alignment nor the reverse-curve phase showed statistically significant differences between ligature-less and conventional brackets in moving teeth. CONCLUSION Morphometric shape analyses corroborated current evidence that self-ligating brackets were no more effective than conventional brackets with steel ligatures after 6-month initial alignment. From months 6-9 treatment with ß-titanium reverse-curve wires on 0.022-inch ligature-less brackets resulted in similar tooth positions as accomplished by Elgiloy multiloop wires on 0.018-inch steel-ligature-tied brackets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although mounting evidence implicates mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in intestinal tissue repair, controversy remains regarding the engraftment, proliferation, and differentiation for repopulating MSCs in recipient tissues. Therefore, we investigated the paracrine and/or endocrine role of MSCs in experimental colitis. METHODS We analyzed the therapeutic effects of MSC-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)- or 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. We investigated the effects of MSC-CM on the epithelial cell viability, mobility, cell cycle, and cytokine production in ex vivo lamina propria/mesenteric lymphocytes, a macrophage cell line, and the mixed lymphocyte reaction. An optimal regimen against colitis was explored. The contents of MSC-CM were analyzed using a WNT signaling pathway polymerase chain reaction array, an inflammatory cytokines antibody array, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. RESULTS Independent of the systemic administration route, MSC-CM concentrates were effective for the inductive phase of TNBS-induced colitis and for the recovery phase of DSS-induced colitis. Hypoxia appeared to be one of the optimal preconditioning factors assessed by cell motility and viability through activating the PI3K-Akt pathway in rat small intestine epithelial cells, IEC-6. Thus, Hypoxia had profound effects on the contents of MSC-CM, which comprised pleiotropic gut trophic factors involved in each wound healing process, including the anti-inflammatory, proliferative, and tissue remodeling phases. CONCLUSIONS Identification and optimization of potential gut trophic factors in MSC-CM is urgently needed to form the basis for new drug discovery and for optimizing cell-based therapies for inflammatory bowel disease.
