Abstract
In genetic counseling, information must be provided in ways that the client and general public can understand to ensure that decisions are made autonomously. To realize this, we must assess the extent of knowledge held by the general public regarding genetics. To identify the client's original knowledge before genetic counseling, we explored the fundamental knowledge related to genetic counseling that is taught in Japanese compulsory education. A qualitative study was conducted. We selected 50 textbooks for compulsory education (Japanese, social studies, science, health and physical education, technology and home economics, morality, and life) that had been used in more than half of the districts in Japan. The text data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, and quantitative data were analyzed for methodological triangulation. Codes, subcategories, and categories were generated from the contexts that met the following criteria: the contents included in the official textbook for clinical geneticists, contents derived from such descriptions that were related to genetic counseling, and contents clearly related to genetics. Among the 50 textbooks, 33 textbooks contained fundamental knowledge regarding genetic counseling. A qualitative content analysis identified four major categories: (1) basics of genetics, (2) understanding and control of diseases, (3) efforts and barriers to the realization of a harmonious society, and (4) technology and humans. We found that fundamental knowledge related to genetic counseling is directly or indirectly taught in compulsory education. Our results are an important resource for understanding the client's knowledge baseline and will be helpful for effective genetic counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing interest in examining objective markers for early identification and behavioral intervention to prevent dementia and mild cognitive impairment in clinical and community settings. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between salivary alpha-amylase as an objective measure of psychological stress response and mild cognitive impairment for the implication of psychological stress in the development of mild cognitive impairment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional study involved 865 participants aged ≥ 65 years. A saliva sample was collected in the morning, and the levels of salivary alpha-amylase were assayed. Mild cognitive impairment was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; a score < 26 was indicative of mild cognitive impairment. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to examine the association of salivary alpha-amylase and mild cognitive impairment after adjusting for age, sex, current drinking status, current smoking status, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, physical activity, education, social support, social network, and heart rate variability. RESULTS Salivary alpha-amylase was associated with mild cognitive impairment (the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] for the 1-standard deviation increment of log-transformed salivary alpha-amylase was 1.24 [1.07-1.44]). This significant association persisted after adjusting for various confounding factors. CONCLUSION Elevation of salivary alpha-amylase was associated with mild cognitive impairment among Japanese community-dwelling older adults. This suggests that salivary alpha-amylase is a useful objective marker of psychological stress responses associated with mild cognitive impairment.

Abstract
A nationwide cross-sectional study of 3335 employees was conducted in 320 offices in Japan to estimate the prevalence of building-related symptoms (BRSs) and determine the risk factors related to work environment, Indoor Air Quality, and occupational stress. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. The prevalences of general symptoms, eye irritation, and upper respiratory symptoms were 14.4%, 12.1%, and 8.9%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that eye irritation was significantly associated with carpeting [odds ratio (OR), 1.73; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.24-2.41], coldness perception (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.13-1.45), and air dryness perception (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.42-1.82). General symptoms were significantly associated with unpleasant odors (OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.13-1.65), amount of work (OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.06-1.45), and interpersonal conflicts (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.23-1.69). Upper respiratory symptoms were significantly associated with crowded workspaces (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.13-1.63), air dryness perception (OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.79-2.38), and reported dustiness on the floor (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.16-1.67). Although psychosocial support is important to reduce and control BRSs, maintaining appropriate air-conditioning and a clean and uncrowded workspace is of equal importance.

Abstract
AIM/HYPOTHESIS We sought to clarify similarities and differences in the contribution of HLA to genetic susceptibility to three subtypes of type 1 diabetes: acute-onset, fulminant and slowly progressive. METHODS We genotyped 545 Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes (338 acute-onset, 80 fulminant, 127 slowly progressive) and 396 control participants at HLA-DRB1, -DQB1, -A, -B and -C, and at 101 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in an 8.5 Mb region of the extended HLA. RESULTS DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401, DRB1*0802-DQB1*0302 and DRB1*0901-DQB1*0303 were associated with acute-onset type 1 diabetes, with the DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401/DRB1*0802-DQB1*0302 genotype achieving the highest odds ratio of 42.7. DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 and DRB1*1502-DQB1*0601 were negatively associated with acute-onset type 1 diabetes. A similar tendency was observed for slowly progressive type 1 diabetes. In contrast, only DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401 was associated with fulminant type 1 diabetes, with the DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401/DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401 genotype showing the highest odds ratio of 11.2. DRB1*0802-DQB1*0302, DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401/DRB1*0802-DQB1*0302 and DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 were not associated with fulminant type 1 diabetes. The association of class I alleles and a panel of SNPs in an extended HLA region with fulminant type 1 diabetes was also different from that seen for the acute-onset and slowly progressive forms. The presence of both one and two susceptible haplotypes conferred susceptibility to slowly progressive type 1 diabetes, whereas the presence of two susceptible haplotypes was required to confer susceptibility to acute-onset and fulminant type 1 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These data suggest that HLA associations with fulminant type 1 diabetes are qualitatively different from those with other subtypes of type 1 diabetes, whereas the HLA contribution to slowly progressive type 1 diabetes is qualitatively similar to, but quantitatively different from, that in acute-onset type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
After the chest wall resection, its reconstruction is often needed. A 45-year-old male lung adenocarcinoma patient with chest wall invasion underwent upper lobectomy of the right lung with partial resection of 4-6th ribs. The size of the removed chest wall was 11 x 6.5 cm. We reconstructed the chest wall with Bard Composix E/X Mesh. This prosthesis is consisted of a polypropylene mesh and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheet This material is seems to be useful in the reconstruction of chest wall in both preventing pulmonary adhesion and enabling good wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Gastric acid secretion is downregulated by Helicobacter pylori infection and upregulated after its eradication, but the mechanisms are still unclear. We examined the effects of H pylori eradication on the number of parietal cells and on expression of molecules functioning in acid secretion in the human gastric mucosa. METHODS We enrolled 111 consecutive men with chronic gastritis induced by H pylori. Biopsy specimens were endoscopically obtained before and 12 weeks after successful eradication of H pylori and parietal cell numbers were counted. mRNA expression levels of H+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+-ATPase), anion exchanger 2, M3 muscarinic receptor, intrinsic factor, and interleukin 1beta were determined with a real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method. The severity of gastric atrophy was evaluated using the serum pepsinogen I/II ratio. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in parietal cell numbers before and after H pylori eradication. Median mRNA expression levels of H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric mucosa increased 250-fold after H pylori eradication accompanied by attenuation of interleukin 1beta. A large increase in H+/K+-ATPase expression was observed even in patients with severe atrophic gastritis. In contrast, fold increases in mRNA expression levels, including intrinsic factor, anion exchanger 2, and M3 muscarinic receptor, after eradication therapy, were limited to 1.4, 2.3, and 2.5 times, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the absence of alteration of parietal cell number, gastric H+/K+-ATPase mRNA expression was markedly restored after successful H pylori eradication, suggesting a central role for the restoration of H+/K+-ATPase expression in gastric acid secretion recovery after H pylori eradication.

Abstract
In non-cardiac operative cases with inflammatory digestive organ disease, bacterial translocation (BT) often results from non-enteral nutrition postoperatively. If coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed in the case having old myocardial infarction (OMI) and inflammatory digestive organ disease at first before non-cardiac operation, he seems vulnerable to have severe complications such as multiple organ failure due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and preexisting BT postoperatively. We performed a off-pump CABG (OPCAB) for OMI associated with jejunotomy for obstructive ileus due to gall bladder stone. No complication was found in the postoperative course. We conclude that combined operation, non-cardiac surgery after OPCAB is worth considering in those cases. And we think OPCAB is better than conventional CABG in such cases, because cardiopulmonary bypass is known to ponder comparable damages to immune system, coagulation system and others.

Abstract
AIMS We assessed the disposition of oral amodiaquine (AQ) and CYP2C8 polymorphism in 20 children with falciparum malaria. METHODS AQ and DEAQ concentrations were determined with SPE-HPLC method. CYP2C8 genotypes were assessed by PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS AQ was not detectable beyond day 3 postdose. Cmax for DEAQ was reached in 3.0 days. The mean values for t1/2, MRT, and AUCtotal were 10.1 days, 15.5 days and 4512.6 microg l(-1) day, respectively. All the children were CYP2C8* homozygous. CONCLUSION Our data are consistent with those previously reported, and the AQ regimen seems pharmacokinetically adequate in the absence of CYP2C8 polymorphism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there has not been an in-depth investigation to identify differences in the effects of bleeding prevention among different routes of administration of H2 receptor antagonists to treat gastric ulcers following endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). AIM To prospectively compare the frequency of bleeding following EMR between patients treated with intravenous (IV) famotidine and those with oral famotidine. METHODS Fifty-three patients with neoplastic gastric lesions (33 carcinoma and 20 adenoma) treated by EMR were included. Subjects underwent EMR with circumferential mucosal incision assisted by submucosal injection of sodium hyaluronate (EMRSH), followed by IV or oral (PO) administration of famotidine at a dosage of 40 mg/day for 2 days. Patients with odd ID numbers were assigned to IV therapy (30 cases) while even numbers were given PO therapy (23 cases). Frequencies and endoscopic findings of bleeding during the first 2 days after EMR were examined. RESULTS Frequency of bleeding within 2 days after EMR was 3 and 4% in IV and PO patients, respectively, showing no significant difference. No significant difference was seen in the endoscopic findings of bleeding and therapy, either, with respective IV and PO findings at 23 and 26%. CONCLUSIONS No significant difference was observed in frequency of bleeding within 2 days after gastric EMR between IV and oral administrations of famotidine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection prevents the occurrence of the tolerance phenomenon of Histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonists. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease develops in some cases with the restoration of acid secretion after H. pylori eradication therapy. AIM To clarify the mechanisms of H2 receptor restoration after the eradication of H. pylori on parietal cells. METHODS We enrolled 80 consecutive asymptomatic male patients with H. pylori infection, having chronic gastritis with or without the presence of peptic ulcers. Biopsy specimens from the greater curvatures at the mid-corpus of the stomach were obtained endoscopically from all subjects before and 12 weeks after the eradication of H. pylori. Degrees of gastric atrophy were evaluated by serum pepsinogen levels. The amounts of mRNA expression of H2 receptor were evaluated in each subject's gastric mucosa by real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS H2 receptor mRNA expression levels significantly correlated with serum pepsinogens I and II ratios. The expression level of H2 receptor mRNA was lower in subjects with hypergastrinemia. The median expression level of H2 receptor after H. pylori eradication was threefold greater than prior to treatment. In addition, its restoration became more pronounced in subjects with severe gastric atrophy. However, a comparatively low restoration of H2 receptor mRNA was found in subjects with hypergastrinemia. CONCLUSIONS H2 receptor mRNA levels decrease with the progression of gastric atrophy induced by H. pylori infection, and are restored after H. pylori eradication. Such expression levels of H2 receptor may explain a part of the tolerance phenomenon to H2 receptor antagonists.

Abstract
Cilostazol is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase III with anti-platelet-aggregatory and vasodilating properties. Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in 2702 patients with intermittent claudication demonstrated that cilostazol significantly increased walking distances compared with placebo. Furthermore, the agent has beneficial effects on the serum lipid profile and fatty acid composition in plasma. Consequently, cilostazol may be useful to prevent atherosclerosis from progressing by ameliorating lipid and fatty acid metabolism.

Abstract
We have investigated cases where pulmonary metastasis from colorectal cancer was resected during the last 15 years, comparing a group with liver metastasis [LM (+)] to a group without liver metastasis [LM (-)]. The following are the characteristics of the LM (+) versus LM (-) groups. Gender: male 6, female 5 versus male 9, female 11, age: 61.4+/-11.4 versus 63.9+/-9.4 years, number of lung metastasis: 1.42 versus 1.29, duration of primary-lung metastasis: 1.59+/-1.02 versus 2.55+/-1.46 years, preoperative CEA: 69.3+/-71.1 versus 8.64+/-5.63 ng/ml, ratio of bilateral lung metastasis: 23.0 versus 4.8%, more than 1 ratio of pulmonary metastasis: 38 versus 19%, complete resection ratio of pulmonary metastasis: 84.6 versus 100%, ratio of thoracoscopic surgery: 69.2 versus 66.7%, and 2-year survival ratio: 63 versus 78%. There were no statistically significant differences in these values between the LM (+) and LM (-) group. A larger number of cases and follow-up duration will be required in the future; we think that the resection of pulmonary metastasis from colorectal cancer with liver metastasis can be supported for the present.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of surgical treatment for lung cancer concomitant with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). Between 1994 and 2003, 673 patients with primary lung cancer were treated. Forty-four patients (6.54%) of 673 patients were complicated with IIP. Their data were retrospectively reviewed. There were 37 male and 7 female with an average age of 67 years. They underwent 7 wedge resections of the lung, 3 segmentectomies, 32 lobectomies and 2 bi-lobectomies as surgical treatment for lung cancer. Five of these 44 patients died of acute exacerbation of IIP after the operation. The exacerbation occurred in an average postoperative day of 5 (range, 3 to 7) day. Preoperative values of serum CRP, LDH, SP-D and KL-6 failed to predict the occurrence of the exacerbation of IIP after the surgery. The preoperative value of %DLCO was lower in patients with the exacerbation than patients without the exacerbation (42.3+/-9.6% versus 66.8+/-18.8%, p=0.018). The postoperative 5-year survival rate for pathological stage I lung cancer were 84.9% and 70.2% (p=0.134) for patients without IIP and patients with IIP, respectively. Although the acute exacerbation of IIP after the surgery caused catastrophic outcomes, the long-term results in surgical treatment for stage I lung cancer simultaneously concomitant with IIP were not so poor. It is very important to avoid the postoperative exacerbation and further effort and research are required to avoid the exacerbation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In the progression of chronic gastritis, gastric mucosal cells deviate from the normal pathway of gastric differentiation to an intestinal phenotype which is closely related to gastric carcinoma. However, to date, it has not been elucidated whether the intestinal metaplasia is merely a change in the epithelium or whether the underlying mesenchyme also changes from gastric type to intestinal type. We have investigated the relationship between intestinal metaplasia and the pericryptal fibroblast sheath (PCFS) in the mesenchyme. In addition, we also examined PCFS in gastric carcinoma. METHODS We determined the existence of PCFS in the intestinal metaplastic mucosa and carcinoma of both human and Cdx2 transgenic mouse stomach. PCFS was determined using the antibody against alpha-smooth muscle actin and electron microscopic observations. RESULTS PCFS formed an almost complete layer around the small and large intestinal crypts while it did not exist around the normal gastric glands in both mice and humans. PCFS was seen around the glands of intestinal metaplastic mucosa in both Cdx2 transgenic mouse and human stomachs. However, PCFS was virtually absent in the intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma area. CONCLUSION We successfully demonstrated that the epithelium as well as the mesenchyme changed from the gastric type to the intestinal type in intestinal metaplasia and that PCFS disappeared in intestinal-type gastric carcinoma.

Abstract
Eight patients with interstitial pneumonia (IP) underwent pulmonary surgery for lung cancer. The first patient died due to postoperative exacerbation, but the subsequent 7 patients had good postoperative course without exacerbation by the following careful management. 1) Avoidance of administration of high concentration of oxygen keeping the PO2 about 100 mmHg during the operation. 2) Short-term administration of low-dose steroid before the operation. 3) Administration of erythromycin, tocopherol acetate, and inhalation of N-acetylcysteine before and after the operation. 4) Long-term drainage of the postoperative thoracic discharge to release the local cytokines. These treatments inhibit secretion of the inflammatory cytokines which influence exacerbation of IP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Gastric intestinal metaplasia, which is mainly induced by Helicobacter pylori infection, is thought to be a precancerous lesion of gastric adenocarcinoma. Intestinal metaplastic mucosa expresses intestine specific homeobox genes, Cdx1 and Cdx2, in the human gastric mucosa. We and others have reported that ectopic expression of Cdx2 in the gastric epithelium generates intestinal metaplasia in the transgenic mouse model. METHODS To clarify the differences in the roles of Cdx1 and Cdx2 in intestinal metaplasia, we generated transgenic mice expressing Cdx1 in the gastric mucosa and compared Cdx1 induced gastric mucosal morphological changes with Cdx2 induced intestinal metaplasia. RESULTS The gastric mucosa in Cdx1 transgenic mice was completely replaced by intestinal metaplastic mucosa, consisting of all four intestinal epithelial cell types: absorptive enterocytes, goblet, enteroendocrine, and Paneth cells. Paneth cells, which were not recognised in Cdx2 transgenic mice, were in the upper portion of the intestinal metaplastic mucosa. Pseudopyloric gland metaplasia, which was induced in Cdx2 transgenic mice, was not recognised in Cdx1 transgenic mice. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive cells were diffusely scattered in Cdx1 induced intestinal metaplastic mucosa while PCNA positive cells in Cdx2 induced intestinal metaplastic mucosa were in the base of the metaplastic mucosa. Intestinal metaplastic mucosa of Cdx1 transgenic mouse stomach was significantly thicker than that of wild-type or Cdx2 transgenic mouse stomach. CONCLUSIONS We have confirmed that Cdx1 induced gastric intestinal metaplasia but that it differed from Cdx2 induced intestinal metaplasia in differentiation, structure, and proliferation.

Abstract
Three cases of pleuropneumonectomy, which have been performed in our institution between 1996 and 2003, are studied. All of them received re-thoracotomy to remove intrapleural hematoma for prolonged high fever, anemia and high level of CRP. Post re-operative courses were satisfactory without any signs of infection. The residual intrapleural hematoma sometimes causes pyothorax and would be an obstacle to the intrapleural instillation of anticancer medications. The removal of the hematoma should be scheduled at an early period after the pleuropneumonectomy.

Abstract
SUMMARY We compared the treatment for ruptured aneurysms from the clinical and radiological follow-ups after endovascular (GDC) or surgical treatment. There were 142 surgically treated cases and 38 endovascular treated cases from May 1997 to December 2001. In endovascular cases there were four A-com, four MCA, 12 ICA and 18 posterior circulation aneurysms. In surgical cases, there were 53 A-com ACA, 51 MCA, 36 ICA and two posterior circulation aneurysms. The clinical outcomes of endovascular and surgical treatments were correlated with the H & H grades before treatments. At short stage, 71% of endovascular and 78.2% of surgical cases showed a favorable outcome (GOS GR or MD) (p=0.3). Long-term clinical follow ups (14.5 to 58 months) showed 77.7% of endovascular and 87.7% of surgical cases resulted in GR or MD (p=0.17). In endovascular cases, 22.2% showed recurrence during the follow-up period and five of them needed re-treatment. We experienced failed endovascular approach at acute stage in seven cases which changed to surgery. In conclusion, the short and long term clinical results of endovascular treatment were acceptable comparing surgical clipping. High recurrence rate after GDC treatment did not permit future completeness of the treatment. Still the treatment alternative between endovascular or surgical treatment may change depending on the criteria of each institution, attention should be paid to the disadvantages of endovascular treatment as the first choice for ruptured aneurysms.

Abstract
The diagnosis of small-sized (< or = 2 cm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has increased with the development of computed tomography (CT), whereas unexpected extensive mediastinal involvement has been occasionally detected in such a small-sized lung cancer. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological features to determinate the predictors for lymph node involvement in patients with a small-sized adenocarcinoma. One hundred and eighty one patients who underwent pulmonary resection and systematic nodal dissection for a peripheral small-sized adeno-carcinoma were reviewed. Of these, 24 patients (13.3%) had lymph node involvement. These patients were divided into 2 groups according to the existence of lymph node involvement, and the predictors for lymph node involvement were determined using univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis. Univariate analysis revealed GGOR (ground glass opacity area/tumor area at the level of the greatest dimension of the lesion on chest computer tomography) > or = 25% (p = 0.0137) and pleural lavage fluid involvement (p = 0.0467) as predictors for lymph node involvement. No patients had lymph node involvement if their GGOR was higher than 50%. Multivariate regression analysis revealed GGOR > or = 25% (p = 0.0274), pleural tags on the lesion on chest CT (p = 0.0138) and pleural lavage fluid involvement (p = 0.0415) as predictors. We recommend performing systemic nodal dissection even if small peripheral adeno-carcinoma's maximal diameter is 20 mm or less. Systemic nodal dissection is unnecessary if the patients' GGOR > or = 50% or they do not have pleural tags or pleural lavage fluid involvement.

Abstract
It has been reported that fulminant type 1 diabetes is a novel subtype of type 1B diabetes. However, whether the etiology of fulminant type 1 diabetes is associated with an autoimmune or nonautoimmune process remains to be solved. In order to further characterize fulminant type 1 diabetes, we compared the clinical, immunological and genetic characteristics with those of acute-onset type 1A diabetes. Nine patients with fulminant diabetes and nine patients with acute-onset type 1A diabetes, who had been newly diagnosed during 1998-2001, were analyzed. In female patients of child-bearing age, the onset of diabetes occurred during pregnancy or after delivery in three cases of six fulminant cases, but not in any of seven type 1A diabetes. Eight of nine fulminant patients had fever immediately prior to the onset of hyperglycemic symptoms, whereas only one of nine type 1A patients had this (P=0.002). In Japanese type 1 susceptible HLA haplotypes, DRB1*0901-DQB1*0303 was more frequent in type 1A diabetes than fulminant diabetes (7/18 vs. 0/18, P=0.004), whereas the frequency of DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401 was similar (type 1A 4/18 vs. fulminant 6/18). Therefore, pregnancy, possible viral infection, or HLADRB1*0405-DQB1*0401 may contribute to the onset of fulminant type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Lobectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is gradually being performed more frequently because of advantages regarding pain and pulmonary function. Complications sometimes occur during or after VATS lobectomy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence and the causes of the complications. From 1997 to 2003, 185 patients underwent VATS lobectomies. Selected diseases for this approach included primary lung cancer (n = 172), metastatic lung cancer (n = 7), benign lung tumors (n = 3) and lung sequestration (n = 3). The VATS approach was converted to open thoracotomy in 15 (8.1%) of 185 patients because of bleeding (n = 8), dense hilar adenopathy (DHA, n = 3), local extent of disease (n = 3) of intraoperative cardiac trouble (n = 1). Intraoperative complications involved injury to a blood vessel (n = 21), stapling failure (n = 15), lung injury (n = 7), nerve injury (n = 3), and others. Predictive factors for injury to pulmonary arteries was DHA (OR 37.0, p < 0.0001). Postoperative surgical death occurred in 2 patients due to pneumonia. Postoperative morbidity was 22.9%. A surgical operation without any good direct or thoracoscopic view or the use of a thoracoscopic tool without knowledge of the directions on its use should be avoided. The VATS approach should be replaced by open thoracotomy if there are DHA.

Abstract
Disruption of the thoracic aorta due to blunt chest trauma is often fatal and should generally be treated surgically as soon as possible. However, cases of disruption of the thoracic aorta due to blunt chest trauma are often complicated by damage to vital organs, making treatment difficult. Our policy is to treat other organs before treating the thoracic aorta in 1) cases in which fracture of the pelvic bone or bleeding from abdominal cavity organs is causing shock and 2) cases of severe cerebral contusion or intracranial hemorrhage that require emergency surgical treatment. The use of a stent for treatment of acute-stage cases should be considered prudently.

Abstract
A 2-month-old male infant with severe dyspnea was diagnosed as having right pulmonary agenesis at birth and was admitted to our hospital after tracheal intubation with an endotracheal tube of 3 mm in diameter. However, the trachea was too stenotic to place the tube in the proper position. Chest X-ray on admission showed pneumonia of the left lung. Preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scan and bronchoscopy showed that from the level of 12 mm beneath the coricoid cartilage, the trachea tapered and continuing to the tracheal carina and that the smallest tracheal level was located 18 mm distal from the coricoid cartilage, the area of which was 4 mm2. His respiratory condition rapidly deteriorated in spite of intravenous administration of antibiotics and mechanical ventilation. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) was used to maintain his pulmonary function, and pericardial tracheoplasty was performed. Chest X-ray immediately after the operation did not show left lung reexpansion due to severe pulmonary edema. High-dose steroid pulse therapy was performed, but it was not effective. He died from acute respiratory failure due to infantile respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) on postoperative day 3. The outcome in this case shows that it is very risky to repair tracheal stenosis in a patient with pneumonia using PCPS.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients complicated with interstitial pneumonia (IP) who undergo pulmonary operations is very poor if acute exacerbation occurs after the operation. We have experienced 6 cases in which operations were performed on lungs complicated with IP The first patient died due to acute exacerbation, but the subsequent 5 patients had good postoperative courses due to 1) short-term administration of low-dose steroid before and after the operation, 2) avoidance of administration of high concentration of oxygen during and after the operation, and 3) administration of erythromycin before and after the operation, 4) N-acetylcysteine inhalation and administration of dl-alpha-tocopherylnicotinate before and after the operation. It is thought that careful management of such patients is needed to prevent acute exacerbation even after discharge from hospital.

Abstract
Cilostazol is an anti-thrombotic and vasodilating agent, reported to have both anti-thrombotic and cerebral vasodilating effects. We investigated the effects of cilostazol on serum lipid concentrations and plasma fatty acid composition in type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral vascular disease. The serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, lipoprotein (a), remnant-like particles-cholesterol, apolipoproteins, and plasma fatty acid composition were measured in 17 diabetic patients with peripheral vascular disease before and 1, 3, and 6 months after administration of cilostazol (200 mg/day). Serum triglyceride concentrations were significantly decreased after cilostazol (from 1.31+/-0.17 mmol/l to 0.86+/-0.07 mmol/l at 6 months, P<0.01). Plasma docosahexaenoic acid levels were significantly increased after cilostazol (4.11+/-0.26% to 4.94+/-0.26% at 6 months, P<0.01). Our findings show that cilostazol can induce some beneficial changes in serum lipid profile and plasma fatty acid composition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During cardiopulmonary bypass, perfusion flow rate is generally calculated only with the patient body surface. Recently, far advanced hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass and tepid bypass circulation are common. PURPOSE We have arrived at an appropriate flow rate formula, in which factors like temperature, hemoglobin concentration, the target mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), and the amount of oxygen consumption are included. Our formula was compared with the conventional one. MATERIAL AND METHOD Seventy-four points of cardiopulmonary bypass data under total cardiopulmonary bypass in 33 patients were studied. Our formula's validity was re-evaluated. Then, the SvO2 values were predicted by applying the flow rate value as per conventional calculation in to our formula. RESULTS The flow rate of our formula and the actual flow rate are well correlated (r = 0.9212). In the prediction of the SvO2 by the conventional method, 36.5% were calculated to have a SvO2 of less than 60%. Furthermore, with a hemoglobin concentration of 7 g/dl, 73.3% were calculated to have a SvO2 of less than 60%. With a body temperature of 34 degrees centigrade, 53.8% were calculated to have a SvO2 of less than 60%. On the other hand, to maintain SvO2 level at 70% by the conventional method, if the patient hemoglobin concentration was 10 g/dl, temperature should be maintained at 36 degrees centigrade, and when hemoglobin concentration is 7 g/dl, the temperature should be maintained at 33 degrees centigrade. CONCLUSION In advanced hemodilution or tepid cardiopulmonary bypass, use of appropriate flow rate formula is recommended, which takes into account the indispensable factors such as hemoglobin levels, temperature, and the target SvO2.

Abstract
Eight patients with thymic carcinoma were surgically treated at Sapporo City General Hospital from September 1990 to January 2002. The histological subtypes of thymic carcinoma were squamous cell in 5, undifferentiated in 2, and small cell in one. After median sternotomy, 5 patients had total resection of the tumor, and 3 had incomplete resection due to extensive mediastinal invasion involving the main pulmonary artery in the A-P window. Of 3 cases with intra pericardial malignant effusion, one patient survived 7 years without recurrence of the tumor after the exploratory operation followed by mediastinal irradiation without chemotherapy. In this patient, existence of the malignant cells in the pericardial effusion was not associated with poor outcome.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3B, when activated by insulin, causes a decrease in intracellular cAMP concentration. The activation of this enzyme results in the reduced output of free fatty acids (FFA) from adipocytes, and an increased lipogenesis in liver. We have recently shown that PDE3B gene expression is reduced in adipose tissues of KKAy mice. We intend to further elucidate the regulation of PDE3B in liver as well as adipose tissues in relation to the insulin resistant state. We examined PDE3B gene expression in liver and adipose tissues of obese, insulin-resistant diabetic db/db mice and also checked the effect of an insulin-sensitizing drug, troglitazone, on this gene expression. In the liver of db/db mice, PDE3B mRNA, its corresponding protein, and the associated catalytic activity were all increased by 2.1, 1.9 and 1.6-fold, respectively, over those in db/+ control mice. Histological examination revealed substantial triglyceride storage in the liver of db/db mice. Conversely, in the adipose tissue of db/db mice, PDE3B mRNA, protein, and its associated activity were all decreased by 0.38, 0.33 and 0.36-fold, respectively. Troglitazone, which has no effect on PDE3B in liver, increased the expression of this gene in adipocytes. This increase is associated with a reduction in the elevated levels of serum insulin, glucose, FFA and triglycerides. The reduced PDE3B gene expression in adipose tissues, which results in the elevation of serum FFA, could be the primary event in the development of insulin resistance in db/db mice. The enhanced PDE3B gene expression may correlate with changes in triglyceride storage in the liver of these mice.
