Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hepatic artery (HA) reconstruction is an important part of resective surgery for advanced hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies, but few reports have been published. To identify indications for HA reconstruction, we retrospectively analyzed our surgical procedures and outcomes. METHODS En-bloc resection of advanced hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies followed by HA reconstruction was performed in 35 patients. Patients ranged in age from 27 to 81 years and included 18 men and 17 women. The primary site of cancer included the bile duct in 22 patients, the pancreas in 7, and others in 6. Reconstruction of the HA was necessitated by HA resection due to direct cancer invasion in 29 patients and by accidental arterial injury during surgical procedure in 6 patients. RESULTS The HA was reconstructed with end-to-end anastomosis between hepatic arteries in 17 patients. Transposition of an intra-abdominal artery, such as the gastroepiploic artery, was required in 14 patients, and arterial grafting was required in 4 patients. Although the HA patency was achieved in 30 patients, 4 cases of arterial thrombosis and 1 case of arterial rupture developed postoperatively. The overall RFS time was analyzed in all patients, and mean and median RFS times were 18 and 9 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Although oncologic outcomes remain poor, HA resection and reconstruction can be performed in selected patients. We believe that the method of first choice for HA reconstruction is end-to-end anastomosis between HAs. A vascular autograft should be used only in selected cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral aneurysm is a frequent cerebrovascular event and a major cause of fatal subarachnoid haemorrhage, but there is no medical treatment for this condition. Haemodynamic stress and, recently, chronic inflammation have been proposed as major causes of cerebral aneurysm. Nevertheless, links between haemodynamic stress and chronic inflammation remain ill-defined, and to clarify such links, we evaluated the effects of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2) ), a mediator of inflammation, on the formation of cerebral aneurysms. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Expression of COX and prostaglandin E synthase (PGES) and PGE receptors were examined in human and rodent cerebral aneurysm. The incidence, size and inflammation of cerebral aneurysms were evaluated in rats treated with COX-2 inhibitors and mice lacking each prostaglandin receptor. Effects of shear stress and PGE receptor signalling on expression of pro-inflammatory molecules were studied in primary cultures of human endothelial cells (ECs). KEY RESULTS COX-2, microsomal PGES-1 and prostaglandin E receptor 2 (EP(2) ) were induced in ECs in the walls of cerebral aneurysms. Shear stress applied to primary ECs induced COX-2 and EP(2) . Inhibition or loss of COX-2 or EP(2) in vivo attenuated each other's expression, suppressed nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-mediated chronic inflammation and reduced incidence of cerebral aneurysm. EP(2) stimulation in primary ECs induced NF-κB activation and expression of the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2, essential for cerebral aneurysm. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results suggest that shear stress activated PGE(2) -EP(2) pathway in ECs and amplified chronic inflammation via NF-κB. We propose EP(2) as a therapeutic target in cerebral aneurysm.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has various extra-pancreatic actions, in addition to its enhancement of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. The GLP-1 receptor is produced in kidney tissue. However, the direct effect of GLP-1 on diabetic nephropathy remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that a GLP-1 receptor agonist, exendin-4, exerts renoprotective effects through its anti-inflammatory action via the GLP-1 receptor without lowering blood glucose. METHODS We administered exendin-4 at 10 μg/kg body weight daily for 8 weeks to a streptozotocin-induced rat model of type 1 diabetes and evaluated their urinary albumin excretion, metabolic data, histology and morphometry. We also examined the direct effects of exendin-4 on glomerular endothelial cells and macrophages in vitro. RESULTS Exendin-4 ameliorated albuminuria, glomerular hyperfiltration, glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial matrix expansion in the diabetic rats without changing blood pressure or body weight. Exendin-4 also prevented macrophage infiltration, and decreased protein levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and type IV collagen, as well as decreasing oxidative stress and nuclear factor-κB activation in kidney tissue. In addition, we found that the GLP-1 receptor was produced on monocytes/macrophages and glomerular endothelial cells. We demonstrated that in vitro exendin-4 acted directly on the GLP-1 receptor, and attenuated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from macrophages and ICAM-1 production on glomerular endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These results indicate that GLP-1 receptor agonists may prevent disease progression in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy through direct effects on the GLP-1 receptor in kidney tissue.

Abstract
Cerebral aneurysm (CA) rupture is one of the leading causes of stroke death. Recent experimental studies suggest that the pathophysiology of CA is closely associated with inflammation. A transcription factor, Ets-1, has been shown to regulate vascular inflammation and remodeling in a physiological and pathological condition. The expression and role of Ets-1 in CA development has been investigated in this study. Ets-1 was expressed and activated mainly in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in both experimentally induced rat CAs and human CA walls by immunohistochemistry, western blotting and enzyme-linked mobility shift assay. The downstream target of Ets-1 in CA development was identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) analysis. CHIP analysis revealed that Ets-1 transactivated monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in CA walls. Treatment with ets decoy oligodeoxynucleotides resulted in the prevention of CA enlargement, upregulation of MCP-1 expression and increase in macrophage accumulation in CA walls. In conclusion, Ets-1 mediates MCP-1 expression in VSMCs in CA walls, thus promoting the progression of CAs. Inhibition of DNA-binding activity of Ets-1 may lead to the prevention of human CA enlargement and rupture. Results of this study will provide us a clue to a novel therapeutic strategy for CAs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The distal dural ring (DDR) represents the anatomic border between the extradural and intradural internal carotid arteries (ICAs). The purpose of this study was to examine whether 3D-MR cisternography and MR angiography (MRA) fusion images can identify the boundary between the CSF and the cavernous sinus, which might represent the DDR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six consecutive patients with 39 ICA aneurysms were examined with use of MR fusion images with 3D-cisternography and MRA on a 1.5T unit. Two neuroradiologists evaluated the configuration of the carotid cave and the location of the aneurysms on fusion images and classified them as intradural, transdural, and extradural aneurysms. RESULTS The borderline between the CSF and the cavernous sinus was visualized on fusion images in all patients. The carotid cave configuration in 72 ICAs was classified as having no dent (n = 31), a shallow dent (n = 27), and a deep dent (n = 14). The MR fusion images led to the classification of 39 ICA aneurysms as 21 intradural, 6 transdural, and 12 extradural. The interobserver agreement of MR fusion images was excellent (kappa = 0.80). CONCLUSIONS Fusion images with 3D-cisternography and MRA yielded clear visualization of the boundary between the suprasellar cistern and cavernous sinus indicating the DDR. This imaging technique may provide additional information in consideration of a treatment option for paraclinoid aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT angiography (CTA) has been used for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms and recently has been applied to assess postoperative aneurysms treated with titanium-alloy clips. We investigated the clinical usefulness of subtraction CTA by using the orbital synchronized helical scan technique (OSHST) for evaluating intracranial aneurysms surgically treated with cobalt-alloy clips. MATERIALS AND METHODS We scanned an agar gel phantom with a cobalt-alloy clip mounted in the center by using subtraction CT with and without OSHST. Eighteen patients (20 aneurysms) who underwent surgery with cobalt-alloy clips were postoperatively evaluated with subtraction CTA with OSHST, and the results were compared with those from digital subtraction angiography. Two neuroradiologists independently evaluated the 3D CTA images and source images with and without subtraction for the presence of residual flow in the aneurysm and stenotic change in parent or neighboring arteries. RESULTS For the phantom study, significantly fewer artifacts from clips were noted on images obtained by using subtraction CT with OSHST than on those obtained without OSHST. For the clinical study, subtraction CTA with OSHST also showed fewer clip artifacts than did conventional CTA. Image quality was poor, and we were unable to diagnose residual neck for 5% (1/20) with subtraction CTA with OSHST and 75% (15/20) with conventional CTA. For evaluation of adjacent vessels, image quality was poor for none (0/20) with subtraction CTA with OSHST and for 55% (11/20) with conventional CTA. For subtraction CTA with OSHST, sensitivity in detecting residual neck was 1.0, and specificity was 0.94. For conventional CTA, sensitivity and specificity were both 0.25. CONCLUSIONS OSHST is a useful technique for subtracting cobalt-alloy clips, and subtraction CTA with OSHST is available for evaluating aneurysms after clipping with cobalt-alloy clips.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Supracricoid laryngectomy (SCL) with Cricohyoidoepiglotto-pexy (CHEP) or Cricohyoido-pexy (CHP) is an organ preservation surgery indicated for early and selected advanced laryngeal cancers. To verify the clinical usefulness of supracricoid laryngectomy versus total laryngectomy, a retrospective review was conducted. METHODS We summarized the clinical and postoperative data of 32 patients who received SCL over the past 9 years (1997-2005). Five-year survival rate of the SCL patient group (29 cases) was compared with that of the patient group receiving total laryngectomy (35 cases) within the same period. RESULTS Wound infection was detected in 12 patients (38%). Those with severe infection, which required surgical intervention, included two cases of ruptured pexis and two cases showing cricoid cartilage necrosis induced by Forestier disease. There were two T4 cases that resulted in extensive excision. In one case, excision involved the posterior part of the cricoid cartilage resulting in insufficient closure of the neoglottis; the patient received total laryngectomy 30 months after SCL-CHEP because of persistent aspiration of liquid diet. In the other T4 case, the tumor invaded the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages but not the cricoid cartilage. Reposition of the remaining corniculate cartilage resulted in sufficient closure of the neoglottis; this patient subsequently acquired satisfactory laryngeal function. The 5-year overall survival rate was 86% for SCL group and 61% for the total laryngectomy group (limited to Stages III and IV glottic cancers). The causes of the four deaths were distant metastasis, neck metastasis, and intercurrent disease, respectively. Two patients are alive with distant disease. CONCLUSION Through our experience in this series, the functional and oncological results of SCL showed certain advantages over those of total laryngectomy. Particularly, the clinical impact of SCL-CHEP was impressive; this technique needs is recommended to both head and neck surgeons and patients.

Abstract
Members of the NF-kappaB family of transcription factors play critical roles in regulating immunity and cell survival and contribute to cancer progression and chemoresistance. Over the past 20 years, much has been learned about the remarkable complexity in regulation of NF-kappaB signaling. In particular, recent studies have added to our current understanding of the roles of a multitude of posttranslational modifications in this signaling system: these include phosphorylation, acetylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, neddylation and sumoylation. This review will highlight our current knowledge of the roles of sumoylation in regulating NF-kappaB signaling and functions and will address future perspectives.
