Abstract
Radical cystectomy is a gold-standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We recently introduced robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with perioperative enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). The medical records of patients with bladder cancer who underwent open radical cystectomy (ORC) or RARC/ERAS at NTT Medical Center Tokyo were retrospectively reviewed to compare the surgical outcomes, hospital stay, and medical costs between groups. Multidisciplinary full ERAS items were provided for the RARC/ERAS group. The median estimated blood losses in the ORC and RARC/ERAS groups were 650 and 100 mL, and the median operative times were 312 and 445 min, respectively. In addition, the median times to liquid food intake in these groups were 6 and 0 days, the median times to first flatus and first defecation were 2 and 1 day, and 3 and 1.5 days, respectively. The rates of postoperative ileus in the ORC and RARC/ERAS groups were 27.5% and 4.5%, and the median postoperative hospital stays was 26.5 and 12 days, respectively. Medical costs excluding surgery were significantly lower in the RARC/ERAS group. In conclusion, RARC/ERAS represents a safe treatment option for muscle-invasive bladder cancer with decreased perioperative complications and lower medical costs.

Abstract
Background There is limited information on perioperative renal function during off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to identify predictive factors of perioperative decline in renal function after off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy. Methods Clinical records of 138 patients with renal tumors who underwent off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy at our institution were reviewed. Off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy partial nephrectomy was performed using a soft coagulation system. Perioperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation was calculated, and predictors were identified using multivariate regression analysis at 5 days, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery. Results The median operation time was 122 minutes, and the median volume of estimated blood loss was 155 mL. The mean eGFR preservation at 5 days, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery was 95.3%, 91.0%, and 90.7%, respectively. Estimated blood loss was an independent predictor of perioperative decline in eGFR 5 days after surgery [odds ratio (OR): 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.96, 0.98; P<0.001]. Preoperative eGFR and estimated blood loss were independent predictors of perioperative decline in eGFR 1 month after surgery (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.77, 0.95; P=0.007 and OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97, 0.99; P<0.001, respectively). Age, preoperative eGFR, and estimated blood loss were independent predictors of perioperative decline in eGFR 3 months after surgery (OR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.54, 0.81; P<0.001, OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.85; P<0.001; and OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97, 0.99; P=0.004, respectively). Conclusions Estimated blood loss during surgery was a predictor of perioperative decline in eGFR within 3 months after off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy. Age was a predictor of perioperative decline in eGFR 3 months after surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Granulomatous prostatitis is a benign inflammatory condition of the prostate that may mimic prostatic adenocarcinoma on magnetic resonance imaging findings. Even in the era of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, the differential diagnosis of granulomatous prostatitis from malignancy remains difficult. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year-old man with abnormal magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging findings, and a prostate-specific antigen value of 2.48 ng/mL underwent prostate needle biopsy. He had a history of urinary tract infection 3 months prior to presentation. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging showed low-intensity signals on T2-weighted images, slightly high-intensity signals on diffusion-weighted images, and low values on apparent diffusion coefficients. The prostate imaging-reporting and data system version 2 score was 3. Histological examination revealed granulomatous prostatitis. CONCLUSION For patients with preceding urinary tract infections, granulomatous prostatitis should be considered as a differential diagnosis, even when magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography suggest prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the surgical outcomes of off-clamp open partial nephrectomy without renorrhaphy. In the era of robot-assisted surgeries, open partial nephrectomy remains a surgical option for ≥ T1b renal tumours. Although the necessity of renal pedicle clamping and renorrhaphy in open partial nephrectomy for larger tumours remains to be discussed, reports on this issue are rare. METHODS Twenty-seven open partial nephrectomies for ≥ T1b renal tumours were performed without renal pedicle clamping or renorrhaphy. A soft coagulation system was used to control bleeding from the resection bed. Surgical results, complications, and predictors of perioperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation at 1 month and 3 months after surgery were analysed. RESULTS The median estimated volume of blood loss was 420 mL. The rates of perioperative eGFR preservation were 88.9 and 87.3% at 1 and 3 months after surgery, respectively. Tumour size was an independent predictor of perioperative eGFR preservation at 1 month after surgery, whereas age and exophytic/endophytic properties of the tumour were independent predictors of perioperative eGFR preservation at 3 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Open partial nephrectomy without renal pedicle clamping or renorrhaphy could be safely performed for ≥ T1b renal tumours, even when tumours were entirely endophytic and located close to the renal pedicle. Mild perioperative eGFR reduction was observed. Although surgical indications should be carefully considered in these cases, off-clamp open partial nephrectomy without renorrhaphy is a feasible procedure for patients with ≥ T1b renal tumours.

Abstract
A 17-year-old male who had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis was prescribed 80 mg prednisolone and 1,500 mg 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) per day. Two weeks after initiating therapy, he was referred to our hospital for evaluation of chest pain and high fever. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed ST elevation in limb and precordial leads. Chest pain with high fever and ECG changes were resolved after 5-ASA was discontinued. Three weeks later, the administration of a low dose of 5-ASA was associated with the immediate recurrence of pericarditis associated with chest pain, suggesting a hypersensitive reaction to 5-ASA in this patient.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the regional distribution, molecular forms, and gene expression of adrenomedullin in the rat gastrointestinal tract and to examine physiological changes in gastric adrenomedullin after 24-h fasting. The tissue concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay. The molecular forms were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. mRNA levels were quantified by Northern blotting and cells positive for adrenomedullin immunoreactivity were localized by immunohistochemistry. A high concentration of adrenomedullin was found in stomach, cecum, and colon (450-520 fmol/g wet tissue). Adrenomedullin immunoreactivity was also detected in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum (200-250 fmol/g wet tissue). Transcripts of the adrenomedullin gene were widely expressed throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The major form of adrenomedullin immunoreactivity in stomach and colon corresponded precisely with authentic adrenomedullin peptide. Adrenomedullin immunoreactive cells were present in the gastrointestinal endocrine system. The concentration and mRNA level of gastric adrenomedullin after fasting were significantly increased compared with findings in controls. Adrenomedullin is ubiquitous in the gastrointestinal tract, and may be produced by endocrine cells. The results suggest that adrenomedullin, through its potent vasodilating activity, may play some role, in the stomach including the regulation of the mucosal blood flow.

Abstract
Proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) is a novel hypotensive peptide processed from an adrenomedullin precursor. In this study, high concentrations of immunoreactive PAMP (ir-PAMP) were detected in rat cardiac atrium and adrenal gland by the radioimmunoassay (RIA) for rat PAMP. The mean plasma concentration of rat ir-PAMP was 3.8 +/- 0.3 fmol/ml. Analysis in atrium, adrenal gland and plasma with high performance liquid chromatographies showed that most ir-PAMP emerged as one major peak at the position exactly identical to that of the authentic rat PAMP. We further investigated the tissue and plasma concentrations of rat ir-PAMP in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) to elucidate the role of PAMP in hypertension. The ir-PAMP concentration in heart tissue of SHR was found to be increased compared with that of the control rat. Especially, the atrial concentration of ir-PAMP of SHR (5.66 +/- 0.78 fmol/mg wet tissue) was significantly higher than that of the control (3.29 +/- 0.22 fmol/mg wet tissue). Cardiac PAMP might have a role for the protection from systemic hypertension.

Abstract
A 47 year-old male was admitted to Miyazaki Medical college Hospital for further evaluation of an abdominal mass in the left upper quadrant. Abdominal ultrasound (US) and abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed two cystic masses in the mesenterium, which were suspected to be hematomas, but were not related to the pancreas, kidney or spleen. Superior mesenteric artery angiography and gallium (GA)-scintigraphy showed no definite findings. The patient underwent laparotomy on a suspicion of mesenteric hematoma. Two 4 x 3 x 3 cm soft tumors were found in the small intestinal mesenterium. These masses were histopathologically hematomas and surrounded by thick collagenous granulation tissue. The patient had no recent history of abdominal trauma, taking drugs capable of producing bleeding tendency, and/or vascular disease. The case was diagnosed as spontaneous mesenteric hematoma.
