Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE West syndrome is an epileptic encephalopathy characterized by epileptic spasms, a specific pattern on electroencephalography of hypsarrhythmia, and developmental regression. Our aim was to assess white matter abnormalities in West syndrome of unknown etiology. We hypothesized that diffusion tensor imaging reveals white matter abnormalities, especially in patients with poor seizure and developmental outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 23 patients with new-onset West syndrome of unknown etiology. DTI was performed at 12 and 24 months of age. Fractional anisotropy images were compared with those of controls by using tract-based spatial statistics. We compared axial, radial, and mean diffusivity between patients and controls in the fractional anisotropy skeleton. We determined correlations of these parameters with developmental quotient, electroencephalography, and seizure outcomes. We also compared DTI with hypometabolism on fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography. RESULTS At 12 months of age, patients showed widespread fractional anisotropy reductions and higher radial diffusivity in the fractional anisotropy skeleton with a significant difference on tract-based spatial statistics. The developmental quotient at 12 months of age correlated positively with fractional anisotropy and negatively with radial and mean diffusivity. Patients with seizure and abnormal findings on electroencephalography after initial treatments had lower fractional anisotropy and higher radial diffusivity. At 24 months, although tract-based spatial statistics did not show significant differences between patients and controls, tract-based spatial statistics in the 10 patients with a developmental quotient of <70 had significant fractional anisotropy reduction. In patients with unilateral temporal lobe hypometabolism on PET, tract-based spatial statistics showed greater fractional anisotropy reduction in the temporal lobe ipsilateral to the side of PET hypometabolism. CONCLUSIONS Diffuse abnormal findings on DTI at 12 months of age suggest delayed myelination as a key factor underlying abnormal findings on DTI. Conversely, asymmetric abnormal findings on DTI at 24 months may reflect underlying focal pathologies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The stem cell compartment in the esophageal epithelium is possibly located in the basal layer. We have identified significant expression of Smad2/3, phosphorylated at specific linker threonine residues (pSmad2/3L-Thr), in the epithelial cells of murine stomach and intestine, and have suggested that these cells are epithelial stem cells. In this study, we explore whether pSmad2/3L-Thr could serve as a biomarker for esophageal stem cells. We examined esophageal tissues from normal C57BL/6 mice and those with esophagitis. Double immunofluorescent staining of pSmad2/3L-Thr with Ki67, CDK4, p63, or CK14 was performed. After immunofluorescent staining, we stained the same sections with hematoxylin-eosin and observed these cells under a light microscope. We used the 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling assay to examine label retention of pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells. We collected specimens 5, 10, 15 and 20 days after repeated BrdU administrations and observed double immunofluorescent staining of pSmad2/3L-Thr with BrdU. In the esophagus, pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells were detected in the basal layer. These cells were detected between Ki67 immunostaining-positive cells, but they were not co-localized with Ki67. pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells showed co-localization with CDK4, p63, and CK14. Under a light microscope, pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells indicated undifferentiated morphological features. Until 20 days follow-up period, pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells were co-localized with BrdU. pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells significantly increased in the regeneration phase of esophagitis mucosae, as compared with control mice (esophagitis vs. CONTROL 6.889 ± 0.676/cm vs. 4.293 ± 0.659/cm; P < 0.001). We have identified significant expression of pSmad2/3L-Thr in the specific epithelial cells of murine esophagi. We suggest that these cells are slow-cycling epithelial stem-like cells before re-entry to the cell cycle.

Abstract
Replacing the thoracic esophagus with the colon is one mode of reconstruction after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. There is, however, a high incidence of postoperative necrosis of the transposed colon. This study evaluated the outcomes of colon interposition with the routine use of superdrainage by microvascular surgery. Twenty-one patients underwent colon interposition from 2004 to 2009. The strategy for colon interposition was to: (i) use the right hemicolon; (ii) reconstruct via the subcutaneous route; (iii) perform a microvascular venous anastomosis for all patients; and (iv) perform a microvascular arterial anastomosis when the arterial blood flow was insufficient. The clinicopathologic features, surgical findings, and outcomes were investigated. The colon was used because of a previous gastrectomy in 18 patients (85.7%) and synchronous gastric cancer in three patients (14.3%). Eight patients (38.1%) underwent preoperative chemoradiotherapy including three (14.3%) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy. Seven patients (33.3%) underwent microvascular arterial anastomosis to supplement the right colon blood supply. Pneumonia occurred in four patients (19.0%). Anastomotic leakage was observed in five patients (23.8%); however, no colon necrosis was observed. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were both 50.6%. Colon interposition with superdrainage results in successful treatment outcomes. This technique is one option for colon interposition employing the right hemicolon.

Abstract
Follicle growth, oocyte quality or oocyte growing environment (follicular fluid) were evaluated in cows with severe liver damage (haemorrhage, telangiectasis, cholangitis and abscess) that were visually diagnosed at the slaughterhouse. Holstein cows aged 40-90 months with either a healthy liver (HL cow) or damaged liver (DL cow) were selected as donors. Follicle development kinetics was evaluated by counting the follicles at various developmental stages. In addition, the biochemical characteristics of the follicular fluids, developmental competence of preantral follicles cultured for 16 days in vitro and the ability of oocytes to develop to the blastocyst stage 8 days after fertilization were examined. DL cows had fewer secondary follicles than HL cows, and the correlation between the number of secondary follicles and the number of primary follicles differed among DL and HL cows. The follicular fluid of DL cows contained significantly lower levels of albumin and a higher total protein content than that of HL cows. Oocyte nuclear maturation assessed at 5, 16 and 21 h after beginning of culture was slower in DL cows than in HL cows, although the final maturation rates did not differ. The rate of polyspermic fertilization was significantly higher and the proportion of cleavage at 48 h after insemination and blastulation lower in DL cows compared with HL cows. When preantral follicles were cultured in vitro, the rate of follicles with normal morphology was lower in DL cows than in HL cows. These findings suggest that the kinetics of folliculogenesis differ among DL and HL cows and the developmental ability of preantral follicles and oocytes is lower in DL cows than in HL cows.

Abstract
Cardiac reoperation via a median re-sternotomy is associated with a high risk of injury to cardiac structures and the great vessels, and may result in massive bleeding. We report a case of aortic valve re-replacement, and severe adhesion was suspected between the sternum and the left brachiocephalic vein by preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans. To avoid injury to the vein, the adhesive tissue was dissected under video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Then median re-sternotomy was performed safely, and the aortic valve was replaced again. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Since sternal adhesions are checked and dissected visually, concomitant VATS might be a very useful option after previous cardiac surgery.

Abstract
106 Background: This trial sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative chemotherapy with DTX plus S-1 for advanced gastric cancer with poor prognosis even after R0 curative resection. Methods: Preoperative staging was confirmed by laparoscopy. Eligibility criteria included 1) negative peritoneal cytology, H0, P0 and M0, 2) possible curative resection, and 3) ECOG PS 0-1. Patients received DTX (35 mg/m2) on days 1 and 15, and daily oral administration of S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for days 1–14 every 4 weeks of 2 courses, followed by gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. The primary endpoint was pathological response rate (pRR), which was defined as degeneration occupying more than one-third of the cross-sectional surface area of the tumor. A sample size of 45 was planned for the expected pRR of 40% and threshold value of 20%, with one-sided alpha of 0.05 and beta of approximately 0.1. This study was registered in the UMIN clinical trial registry (UMIN000000875). Results: A total of 47 patients were centrally registered between November 2007 and November 2009 from 14 centers. All patients were eligible for analysis. The median age was 63 (range 37–79); male/female: 36/11; PS0/1:41/6; and clinical stage IIIA/IIIB: 31/16. The target pRR was 47% (90% CI, 34–60%; p < 0.0001). Forty six patients (98%) underwent surgery, in whom curative resection was performed in 44 patients, and 37 patients completed the protocol treatment. The response to preoperative chemotherapy was PR/SD/PD/NE in 16/24/2/5 with a response rate of 34%. The most common toxicities of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were grade 3/4 neutropenia (42%), febrile neutropenia (4%), grade 2 anorexia (21%), and fatigue (15%). Seven did not complete the neoadjuvant therapy due to 2 allergic reaction, 1 grade 3 anorexia, 2 grade 2 nausea and anorexia, 2 PD (all 7 had gastrectomy). Major operative morbidity included pancreatic fistula (9%), abdominal abscess (11%), pneumonia (2%), and anastomotic leakage (0%). No patients died due to surgical complications. Conclusions: The combination of DTX and S-1 was well tolerated and promising as a preoperative chemotherapy regimen for patients with potentially resectable advanced gastric cancer. [Table: see text]

Abstract
571 Background: Capecitabine was approved in Japan in 2007 for the adjuvant treatment of stage III colon cancer based on Japanese clinical trial data in advanced and recurrent colorectal and breast cancers as well as data from the Phase III X-ACT trial. For the current study, we aimed to clarify compliance and tolerability of adjuvant treatment with capecitabine in Japanese patients. The study was entered in the UMIN clinical trial registry (UMIN000001444) by the Kyushu Study Group of Clinical Cancer (KSCC). Ethical approval was granted by the institutional review board of each hospital involved. Methods: Based on completion rates from the X-ACT trial we enrolled 97 patients with R0 stage III colon cancer who had histologically confirmed disease and had undergone curative resection (3D2 lymph node dissection). Patients were given oral capecitabine therapy (2,500 mg/m2/day; days 1–14 q3w; eight cycles) within 8 weeks of surgery. The proportion of patients completing eight cycles of treatment per protocol was the primary endpoint, and adverse event (AE) rate was analyzed as a secondary endpoint. Results: Treatment completion in the total patient population was 66.0% (64/97 patients; 95% CI: 55.7–75.3%) and in the per protocol population (PPP) was 70.3% (64/91; 95% CI: 59.8–79.5%). AEs leading to treatment discontinuation included hand-foot syndrome (HFS; n=7), hematotoxicity (n=5) and increased hepatic activity (n=4). Grade 3/4 AEs of note included HFS (22.7%), neutropenia (7.2%), diarrhea (2.1%), and increased bilirubin (0.0%). Of note, any treatment delay >3 weeks in the current trial was considered a withdrawal. In the X-ACT trial, delays of any duration were permitted. Using the X-ACT criteria the completion rate for the PPP in this study was 80.2%, comparable to the figure reported in X-ACT. Conclusions: Our results confirm those of previous global phase III studies and show that capecitabine is well tolerated in both global and Japanese-only populations, with similar high completion rates in both.
