Abstract
BACKGROUND The usefulness of inflammation-based prognostic scores for early recurrence (ER) after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma has rarely been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of inflammation-based prognostic scores as predictors of ER and their relationship with tumor markers. METHODS We enrolled 338 patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma between January 2007 and December 2021. Clinicopathological factors were compared between patients who developed ER (ER group) and those who did not develop ER (non-ER group). The association between inflammation-based prognostic scores and ER status was evaluated. These scores were compared with those of well-established tumor markers. RESULTS The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) correlated with ER of hepatocellular carcinoma, with an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.70, sensitivity of 68.1%, and specificity of 67.7%. In patients with low tumor marker levels, the PLR showed a strong correlation with ER of hepatocellular carcinoma, with an AUC value of 0.851, sensitivity of 100%, and specificity of 76.2%. Multivariate analysis revealed that the PLR was an independent prognostic factor for ER. CONCLUSIONS The PLR is useful and complementary to tumor markers for predicting ER after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children requiring liver transplantation generally have severe growth retardation. Recipients experience posttransplantation catch-up growth, although some show short adult heights. We aimed to determine decades-long catch-up growth trends and risk factors for short adult height following liver transplantation. METHODS We analyzed long-term height Z scores and risk factors for short adult height in a single-center retrospective cohort of 117 pediatric liver transplantation recipients who survived >5 y, with 75 of them reaching adult height. RESULTS Median age at transplantation was 1.3 y, and the most common primary diagnosis was biliary atresia (76.9%). Mean height Z scores pretransplantation and 1, 3, and 8 y after transplantation were -2.26, -1.59, -0.91, and -0.59, respectively. The data then plateaued until 20 y posttransplantation when mean adult height Z score became -0.88, with a median follow-up of 18.6 y. Nineteen recipients did not show any catch-up growth, and one quarter of recipients had short adult height (<5th percentile of the healthy population). Multivariate analysis identified old age (odds ratio, 1.22 by 1 y; P = 0.002), low height Z scores at transplantation (odds ratio, 0.46 by 1 point; P < 0.001), and posttransplantation hospital stay ≥60 d (odds ratio, 4.95; P = 0.015) as risk factors for short adult height. In contrast, prolonged steroid use after transplantation was not considered a significant risk factor. CONCLUSIONS Although tremendous posttransplantation catch-up growth was observed, final adult height remained inadequate. For healthy physical growth, liver transplantation should be performed as early as possible, before growth retardation becomes severe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accurate assessment of renal function prior to surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma is important for patient outcome, but current methods such as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are inadequate. We developed a new prediction formula that incorporates preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging data to determine renal function. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 400 patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma between January 2010 and December 2021. Predictors associated with renal function were identified by multivariate analysis. RESULTS Age, sex, body height, body weight, body surface area, body mass index, serum creatinine, and muscle areas including third lumbar vertebra total muscle area (L3 TMA) determined by preoperative CT were identified as independent predictors likely to be associated with renal function. These were used to construct a new prediction formula using multiple regression analysis performed with a stepwise method: 232.2 + (-1.17 × age) + (-89.0 × serum creatinine) + (0.28 × L3 TMA). The median difference between conventional eGFR and CCr was 47.6 ml/min (range, 1.7-137.9 ml/min), while that between the new eGFR and CCr was 14.3 ml/min (range, 0.02-64.7 ml/min). Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed that the new eGFR was more positively correlated with CCr than conventional eGFR (ρ = 0.623, P < 0.05; ρ = 0.700, P < 0.05, respectively), and hence more accurately reflected renal function. CONCLUSION A new prediction formula based on L3 TMA determined by CT is more accurate than conventional eGFR for evaluating renal function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although surgical resection offers the only chance of cure of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and R1 resection has a poor prognosis, there is no consensus on optimal preoperative assessment of its longitudinal spread. We aimed to establish the optimal means of achieving this goal. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center study of 61 patients who had undergone multi-detector row computed tomography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography, intraductal ultrasonography, and mapping biopsy prior to resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinomas in our institute from January 2010 and December 2021. RESULTS The most accurate single methods for assessing longitudinal spread were intraductal ultrasonography and mapping biopsy (both 72.1%). A combination of all four assessment methods was accurate in 51 (83.6%) of our patients. Independent risk factors for inaccuracy were Bismuth-Corlette Type IV and high histologic-grade tumors. The R0 resection rate was higher with accurate than inaccurate assessments (90.2% vs. 30.0%, P < 0.001). R0 resection was associated with significantly better relapse-free survival than R1 resection (P = 0.006). However, overall survival did not differ between these groups. CONCLUSION Preoperative assessment of longitudinal spread of perihilar cholangiocarcinomas by four different modalities is optimal, achieving 83.6% accuracy and a 90.2% R0 resection rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-hepatectomy bile leakage (PHBL) is a potentially fatal complication that can arise after hepatectomy. Previous studies have identified obesity as a risk factor for PHBL. In this study, we investigated the impact of sarcopenic obesity on PHBL in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. METHODS In total, we enrolled 409 patients who underwent hepatectomy without bilioenteric anastomosis for HCC between January 2010 and August 2021. Patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of PHBL. Patient characteristics, including body mass index and sarcopenic obesity, were then analyzed for predictive factors for PHBL. RESULTS Among the 409 HCC patients included in the study, 39 developed PHBL. Male sex, hypertension, cardiac disease, white blood cell counts, the psoas muscle area, and visceral fat area, and intraoperative blood loss were significantly increased in the PHBL (+) group compared with the PHBL (-) group. Multivariate analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the occurrence of PHBL were intraoperative blood loss ≥370 mL and sarcopenic obesity. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that it is important to understand whether a patient is at high risk for PHBL prior to surgery and to focus on reducing intraoperative blood loss during surgery for patients with risk factors for PHBL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The utility of the SAND balloon catheter in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis (AC) remains unclear. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent emergency cholecystectomy at Shinshu University was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the SAND balloon catheter in cases of AC (SAND balloon utilization: Group S, n = 44; non-utilization: Group non-S, n = 47). RESULTS The duration of surgery was significantly shorter in Group S than in Group non-S (p = .031). Despite comparable incidences of blood transfusions in the two groups, intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in Group S than in Group non-S (p = .013). The incidence of postoperative intraperitoneal infection tended to be higher in Group non-S (p = .076). Within Group non-S, bile spillage during operation was found in 16 (34.0%) patients. The multivariate analysis revealed that gangrenous AC was the strongest independent risk factor for bile spillage during operation (odds ratio [OR]: 19.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.84-78.4; p = .002), followed by surgeons with ≤10 years of experience (OR: 11.3; 95% CI: 1.81-70.6; p < .010). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of the SAND balloon catheter in patients with AC is a safe and efficacious surgical option. This catheter is recommended in cases of gangrenous cholecystitis and for surgeons with limited experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE This retrospective study aimed to investigate the risk factors for postoperative cholangitis (POC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and the efficacy of stenting on hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). METHODS We investigated 162 patients. Postoperative cholangitis occurring before and after discharge was defined as early-onset POC (E-POC) and late-onset POC (L-POC), respectively. Risk factors for E-POC and L-POC were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Propensity score matching (PSM) between the stenting group (group S) and the non-stenting group (group NS), and subgroup analysis in patients with risk factors were performed to evaluate the efficacy of stenting on HJ in preventing POC. RESULTS Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 and preoperative non-biliary drainage (BD) were risk factors for E-POC and L-POC, respectively. PSM analysis revealed that E-POC occurrence was significantly higher in group S than in group NS (P = .045). In the preoperative non-BD group (n = 69), E-POC occurrence was significantly higher in group S than in group NS (P = .025). CONCLUSIONS BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and preoperative non-BD status were risk factors for E-POC and L-POC, respectively. Stenting on HJ implants did not prevent POC after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of non-hepatitis B virus, non-hepatitis C virus hepatocellular carcinoma (non-B non-C-HCC) is increasing worldwide. We assessed the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of non-B non-C-HCC, versus hepatitis B (HBV-HCC) and hepatitis C (HCV-HCC). METHODS Etiologies, fibrosis stages, and survival outcomes were analyzed of 789 consecutive patients who underwent surgery from 1990 to 2020 (HBV-HCC, n = 149; HCV-HCC, n = 424; non-B non-C-HCC, n = 216). RESULTS The incidence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in patients with NON-B NON-C-HCC than in those with HBV-HCC and HCV-HCC. Significantly more advanced tumor stages were observed in patients with non-B non-C-HCC; however, better liver function and lower fibrosis stages were observed. Patients with non-B non-C-HCC had significantly worse 5-year overall survival than patients with HBV-HCC; overall survival was comparable between patients with non-B non-C-HCC and HCV-HCC. Patients with HCV-HCC had significantly worse 5-year recurrence-free survival than patients with HBV-HCC and non-B non-C-HCC. In patients with non-B non-C-HCC, overall survival was comparable among three periods (1990-2000, 2001-2010, and 2011-2020) despite significant improvement in patients with HBV-HCC and HCV-HCC. CONCLUSION The prognosis of non-B non-C-HCC was similar to that of HBV-HCC and HCV-HCC regardless of tumor progression at surgery. Patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia require careful systematic follow-up and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various formulae have been used for the estimation of standard liver volume (SLV) in preparation for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, these formulae have the disadvantage of being constructed using parameters that are substantially affected by the patient's condition. Here, we aimed to establish more precise formulae that are less affected by the general condition of the patient. METHODS We analyzed the liver volumes of LDLT donors and patients with normal livers (total: n = 213) using the SYNAPSE VINCENT imaging analysis system, to develop new formulae. The accuracy of the new formulae were compared with those of existing formulae in a separate validation group of healthy patients (n = 200). The new formulae were also validated using 81 LDLT recipients to assess their utility for graft selection in LDLT. RESULTS Body surface area (BSA) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) independently affected total liver volume (TLV). We produced new formulae for SLV incorporating SMI: SLV = 32.2 × L3-SMI-466.9 for men, with R2 .92, and 25.7 × L3-SMI-55.97 for women, with R2 .79 (alongside a BSA formula with R2 .57), which provided the most accurate predictions of TLV in the validation group. A graft volume (GV)/SLV <.35, calculated using the new formulae, predicted the postoperative prognosis, including the development of small-for-size syndrome, sepsis, or acute rejection, significantly more effectively than GV/SLV using the previous formulae. CONCLUSIONS The newly developed L3-SMI-based formula is more accurate for the estimation of SLV than previously reported formulae, and may thus help to improve the safety of LDLT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although early enteral nutrition (EEN) is an accepted practice after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the impact of EEN on postoperative complications or nutritional status remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of EEN on delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and nutritional status after PD. METHODS A total of 143 patients underwent PD between January 2012 and September 2020. We excluded patients who underwent a two-stage pancreatojejunostomy, in whom the enteral tube was accidentally pulled out, or with insufficient information in their medical records. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared between patients who received EEN (EEN group, n = 21) and those who did not (control group, n = 21) after propensity score matching. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors affecting the incidence of these complications. Nutritional status was assessed at postoperative months 1, 3, and 6. RESULTS The incidence of grade B/C DGE in the EEN group was significantly lower than that in the control group (4.8% vs. 28.6%, p = 0.03). There was no significant difference in overall morbidity, incidence of any other postoperative complications, or all-grade DGE. In multivariate analysis, EEN was associated with a reduction in the incidence of grade B/C DGE (p < 0.01). In the analysis of nutritional status, EEN was significantly associated with better nutritional status at postoperative month 1. CONCLUSION EEN can lead to a lower clinically relevant DGE rate and better nutritional status in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) induces more rapid liver regeneration than portal vein embolization, the mechanism remains unclear.
AIM To assess the influence of inflammatory cytokines and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation on liver regeneration in ALPPS.
METHODS The future liver remnant/body weight (FLR/BW) ratio, hepatocyte proliferation, inflammatory cytokine expression, and activation of the Akt-eNOS pathway were evaluated in rat ALPPS and portal vein ligation (PVL) models. Hepatocyte proliferation was assessed based on Ki-67 expression, which was confirmed using immunohistochemistry. The serum concentrations of inflammatory cytokines were measured using enzyme linked immune-solvent assays. The Akt-eNOS pathway was assessed using western blotting. To explore the role of inflammatory cytokines and NO, Kupffer cell inhibitor gadolinium chloride (GdCl3), NOS inhibitor N-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and NO enhancer molsidomine were administered intraperitoneally.
RESULTS The ALPPS group showed significant FLR regeneration (FLR/BW: 1.60% ± 0.08%, P < 0.05) compared with that observed in the PVL group (1.33% ± 0.11%) 48 h after surgery. In the ALPPS group, serum interleukin-6 expression was suppressed using GdCl3 to the same extent as that in the PVL group. However, the FLR/BW ratio and Ki-67 labeling index were significantly higher in the ALPPS group administered GdCl3 (1.72% ± 0.19%, P < 0.05; 22.25% ± 1.30%, P < 0.05) than in the PVL group (1.33% ± 0.11% and 12.78% ± 1.55%, respectively). Phospho-Akt Ser473 and phospho-eNOS Ser1177 levels were enhanced in the ALPPS group compared with those in the PVL group. There was no difference between the ALPPS group treated with L-NAME and the PVL group in the FLR/BW ratio and Ki-67 labeling index. In the PVL group treated with molsidomine, the FLR/BW ratio and Ki-67 labeling index increased to the same level as in the ALPPS group.
CONCLUSION Early induction of inflammatory cytokines may not be pivotal for accelerated FLR regeneration after ALPPS, whereas Akt-eNOS pathway activation may contribute to accelerated regeneration of the FLR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if preoperative sarcopenia and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) could accurately predict the postoperative outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing initial hepatectomy. METHODS Three hundred three patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for HCC between January 2010 and August 2021 were enrolled and their data were retrospectively analyzed. Sarcopenia was determined from computed tomography images obtained 3 weeks prior to surgery, and PNI was calculated from preoperative albumin and whole lymphocyte count data in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with a cutoff value of 46.2 to categorize high and low groups. RESULTS One hundred six (35%) patients had sarcopenia prior to surgery. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that sarcopenia and low PNI were associated with significantly worse overall survival (OS) compared with no sarcopenia and high PNI, respectively (P = 0.023 and P = 0.035, respectively). In addition, patients with sarcopenia had worse OS than those without sarcopenia in the high and low PNI groups (P = 0.058 and P = 0.038, respectively). Sarcopenia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.66; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-2.76; P = 0.048) and PNI ≤46.2 (HR 1.96; 95% CI 1.17-3.27; P = 0.011) were independent prognostic factors on multivariate analysis, and combined sarcopenia and PNI had a higher AUC value (AUC = 0.722, P < 0.001) than either one alone in ROC analysis. CONCLUSION Combined sarcopenia and PNI as a prognostic marker can better predict the postoperative prognostic outcomes of HCC patients following hepatectomy than either sarcopenia or PNI alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lap-C) for grade II acute cholecystitis (AC) in high-risk patients who were defined by Tokyo Guideline 18 as having age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index ≥6 or American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA-PS) ≥ 3, compared with elective Lap-C following percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD). METHODS In 73 grade II AC patients who underwent Lap-C from January 2012 to March 2021, 35 were identified as high-risk; 22 underwent urgent Lap-C (urgent group) and 13 PTGBD followed by elective Lap-C (elective group). Surgical and perioperative outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS There was no significant difference in operation time (median: 101 min vs 125 min; P = 0.371), blood loss (25 ml vs 7 ml; P = 0.853), morbidity rate (31.8% vs 38.5%; P = 0.726), or the incidence of total perioperative major complications (13.6% vs 15.4%; P = 1.000) between the two groups. The total duration of treatment was significantly shorter in the urgent group than the elective group (11 days vs 71 days; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that blood loss ≥45 ml [odds ratio (OS): 12.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.03-72.42, P = 0.006], and age ≥75 years with ASA-PS ≥ 3 (OS: 9.85, 95%CI: 1.26-77.26, P = 0.03) were the independent risk factors for total perioperative major complications. CONCLUSION In well-selected high-risk patients with grade II AC, urgent Lap-C can be performed with comparable safety to elective Lap-C following PTGBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE In hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgery, the role and significance of intra-abdominal lavage (IAL) for surgical site infection (SSI) is controversial. METHODS This prospective study was performed between July 2020 and July 2022. A total of 150 patients, 10-L IAL was performed. The lavage fluid at 1-L, 5-L, and 10-L was subjected to bacterial culture examination. Risk factors for SSI were evaluated. RESULTS Bacterial positivity rate significantly decreased as follows: 1-L, 36% (n = 54); 5-L, 27% (n = 41); 10-L, 23% (n = 35) (36% vs 23%, p = .001). Patients with positive lavage fluid culture at 10-L had significantly higher incidence of both incisional (37% vs 6%, p < .01) and organ/space (54% vs 3%, p < .01) SSI. Multivariate analysis revealed positivity for bacterial culture at 10-L as the strongest independent risk factor for incisional SSI (OR 13.0, 95% CI: 3.86-43.6, p < .01), followed by postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR 11.7, 95% CI: 3.03-45.6, p < .01). Likewise, in organ/space SSI, positivity for bacterial culture at 10-L was the strongest independent risk factor (OR 48.9, 95% CI:12.1-197.7, p < .01), followed by digestive reconstruction (OR 5.20, 95% CI: 1.45-18.6, p = .01). CONCLUSION IAL decreased the intraperitoneal contamination rate in a volume-dependent manner and can be useful in the surveillance of SSI development in HBP surgery.

Abstract
Aim The influence of frailty on outcomes after hepatectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of frailty on the incidence of postoperative complications and survival after major hepatectomy for PHCC. Methods A total of 87 patients who had undergone surgery for PHCC between 2007 and 2020 were enrolled in this study. Frailty was scored retrospectively using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). The survival and incidence of postoperative complications were compared based on the degree of frailty, and their risk factors were analyzed. Results The overall survival of the CFS score 1‐2 group was significantly higher than that of the CFS score 3‐7 group (P = .01). The survival benefit was especially observed in stage I or II PHCC. Furthermore, there were significant differences between the CFS score 1‐3 group and the CFS score 4‐7 group in the incidence of Clavien–Dindo classification grade ≥ IIIa (39.4% vs 70.6%; P = .03). Frailty was an independent risk factor for severe postoperative complications (odds ratio, 4.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.18‐15.20; P = .03) and the incidence of systemic complications (P < .01). Conclusion Frailty is a predictive factor for short‐ and long‐term outcomes in patients who have undergone major hepatectomy for PHCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant lymphoma is a rare form of gallbladder malignancy. Most of these malignancies are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-type lymphomas; however, Burkitt’s lymphoma of the gallbladder is extremely rare, and only two previous reports are available in the literature. Herein, we report a rare case of Burkitt’s lymphoma of the gallbladder mimicking gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
CASE SUMMARY An 83-year-old man with no abdominal complaints was found to have a gallbladder tumor and periportal lymph node enlargement on computed tomography (CT) performed for hypertension screening. His laboratory data revealed slightly elevated serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and soluble interleukin 2 receptor. Imaging examinations revealed two irregular and contrast-enhanced masses extending into the gallbladder lumen, but these did not infiltrate the serosa. Moreover, a periportal lymph node had enlarged to 30 mm. Based on these findings, we diagnosed the patient as having gallbladder adenocarcinoma with lymph node metastasis, which was treated using bile duct resection with gallbladder bed resection and periportal lymph node dissection. However, the patient was finally diagnosed as having Burkitt’s lymphoma. Although the surgical margin was pathologically negative, recurrence was noted at the hepatic radical margin and superior pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes on positron emission tomography/CT soon after discharge. Thus, he was referred to a hematologist and started receiving treatment with reduced-dose cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone.
CONCLUSION Burkitt’s lymphoma can occur in the gallbladder. Biopsy can be useful in cases with findings suggestive of gallbladder malignant lymphoma.

Abstract
Colocutaneous fistula associated with Crohn’s disease after mesh repair for inguinal hernia has not been previously reported in the literature. We report such case in an 83-year-old man following a preperitoneal repair of a left-sided inguinal hernia using Kugel patch. The patient has Crohn’s disease in remission status for 4 years. One month after inguinal hernia repair, he presented with fever and left-sided inguinal pain and swelling. Computed tomography revealed abscess formation in the preperitoneal and subcutaneous space of the left-sided inguinal region. Colonoscopy showed local exacerbation of Crohn’s disease in the sigmoid colon, and formation of fistula between the sigmoid colon and abdominal wall of the left-sided inguinal region. We performed mesh removal with Hartmann resection following percutaneous abscess drainage. The post-operative course was uneventful, and no sign of recurrence of the hernia was found for 3 years post-operatively.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to investigate the usefulness of a preemptive management strategy that includes monitoring serum D-dimer (DD) and soluble fibrin monomer complex (SFMC) levels for early detection and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after hepatobiliary-pancreatic (HBP) surgery. METHODS Overall, 678 patients who underwent HBP surgery between January 2010 and March 2020 were enrolled. Patients with increased postoperative serum DD or SFMC levels underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and those with VTE received anticoagulant agents. The VTE risk factors were investigated using multivariable analysis. Postoperative changes in DD and SFMC levels were verified, and their ability to identify VTE was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS VTE developed in 83 patients (12.2%), and no symptomatic VTE or death due to VTE was observed. Multivariable analysis identified female sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.26; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.41-3.60; P < .001) and surgery duration of ≥401 min (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.27-3.35; P < .001) as independent risk factors for VTE. Maximum serum DD and SFMC levels in patients who developed VTE were significantly higher than those in patients without VTE (DD, 15.1 vs 8.9 μg/mL, P < .001; SFMC, 18.0 vs 10.2 μg/mL, P < .001, respectively). Both DD (n = 678) and the combination of DD and SFMC levels (n = 230) showed a good ability to detect VTE (area under the ROC curve, 0.804 and 0.761, respectively). CONCLUSION Our preemptive strategy of monitoring serum DD and SFMC levels enables early detection and treatment intervention of VTE after HBP surgery.

Abstract
Maffucci syndrome is characterized by multiple hemangiomas and enchondromas. Somatic mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 are associated with the development of Maffucci syndrome, and these patients develop various malignant nonskeletal tumors in addition to malignant skeletal tumors. We report a case of Maffucci syndrome with IDH1 mutation complicated by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The patient was a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Maffucci syndrome in childhood. She was referred to our department because of a large hepatic tumor. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen was 27.1 ng/mL upon laboratory examination. CT scanning showed a large low-density tumor (90 × 70 mm) in the right lobe of the liver, and MRI revealed a multilobulated and fibrous tumor, which was observed as high signal intensity on T2- and diffusion-weighted images and low signal intensity on T1-weighted images. Positron emission tomography-CT revealed peritoneal dissemination and cancer spread to the muscles of the back. Finally, she was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with dissemination and metastases. We performed a tumor biopsy to determine a treatment plan for chemotherapy. Sanger sequencing of a tumor biopsy identified a mutation in IDH1 at c.394C>T (R132C), but the patient died of rapid cancer progression before the chemotherapy could be initiated. Although rare, malignant tumors can develop in patients with Maffucci syndrome; therefore, it is necessary to monitor these tumors through careful and periodic observation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although various biomarkers are useful in predicting cancer prognosis, the most effective preoperative systemic biomarkers for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have not been established. This study aimed to evaluate whether the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) can predict the long-term outcomes for patients who were to undergo surgical resection of PDAC. METHODS The study involved 170 patients with PDAC who underwent resection. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) among clinicopathologic, surgical, and seven systemic biomarker-related factors including LMR. Subgroup analysis of PDAC located in the body and tail of the pancreas (B/T PDAC) was performed (n = 60) to eliminate the influence of preoperative cholangitis and surgical procedure. Furthermore, OS according to the postoperative course of the LMR value group was investigated. RESULTS A low LMR (<3.3) was the only independent predictive factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR], 3.52; p < 0.001) and DFS (HR, 3.31; p < 0.001) among the systemic biomarkers. Subgroup analysis of the B/T PDAC also showed that low the LMR was the independent predictive factor for OS (HR, 3.24; p = 0.002) and DFS (HR, 4.42; p = 0.003). The PDAC that maintained a high LMR from before surgery to 1 year after surgery showed good long-term outcomes (median OS, 8.5 years; 5-year survival rate, 61.8 %). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative LMR was an independent predictor of OS and DFS after surgery for PDAC. Maintaining a high LMR through the pre- and postoperative courses might improve the prognosis for patients with PDAC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy in biliary tract cancer (BTC) is poorly reported. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adjuvant gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) chemotherapy after curative surgical resection for BTC. METHODS 225 BTC patients who underwent surgical resection between January 2006 and May 2019 were enrolled in this study. Twenty-seven patients received adjuvant chemotherapy with GS (GS group), whereas 67 patients underwent surgery alone (S group). Twenty-three matching pairs were derived through propensity score (PS) matching analysis. Patients received 12 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (70 mg/m2 oral S-1 for 7 consecutive days plus intravenous gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on day 7). The primary end point was recurrence-free survival (RFS). The secondary end points were the 1-, 2-, and 3-year RFS and overall survival (OS) rates, tolerability, and frequency of grade 3/4 toxicity. RESULTS The completion rate was 81.5%; no treatment-related deaths were observed. Grade 3/4 adverse events were seen in 40.7% of the patients. RFS (3-year RFS rate: 59.3% vs. 39.1%, p = 0.049) and OS (3-year OS rate: 71.7% vs. 53.4%, p = 0.008) were significantly better in the GS group than in the S group among PS-matched pairs. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION GS chemotherapy after curative surgery was well tolerated, showed better clinical benefit in the adjuvant setting, and can effectively reduce BTC recurrence.

Abstract
Background Functional assessment of the future liver remnant (FLR) after major hepatectomy is essential but often difficult in patients with biliary malignancy, owing to obstructive jaundice and portal vein embolization. This study evaluated whether a novel index using gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI (EOB-MRI) could predict posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) after major hepatectomy for biliary malignancy. Methods The remnant hepatocellular uptake index (rHUI) was calculated in patients undergoing EOB-MRI before major hepatectomy for biliary malignancy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to evaluate the accuracy of rHUI for predicting PHLF grade B or C, according to International Study Group of Liver Surgery criteria. Multivariable logistic regression analyses comprised stepwise selection of parameters, including rHUI and other conventional indices. Results This study included 67 patients. The rHUI accurately predicted PHLF (area under the curve (AUC) 0.896). A cut-off value for rHUI of less than 0.410 predicted all patients who developed grade B or C PHLF. In multivariable analysis, only rHUI was an independent risk factor for grade B or C PHLF (odds ratio 2.0 × 103, 95 per cent c.i. 19.6 to 3.8 × 107; P < 0.001). In patients who underwent preoperative portal vein embolization, rHUI accurately predicted PHLF (AUC 0.885), whereas other conventional indices, such as the plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green of the FLR and FLR volume, did not. Conclusion The rHUI is potentially a useful predictor of PHLF after major hepatectomy for biliary malignancy.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is a rare nonmalignant cyst consisting of a benign collection of keratinizing squamous epithelial cells with lymphoid tissue. Diagnosing LEC preoperatively is considered difficult because of its non-specific clinical features; therefore, LEC is generally treated the same as a malignant tumor. Case presentation Our case was a 65-year-old man who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy 3 years previously for carcinoma arising from the ampulla of Vater. A pancreatic mass in the remnant pancreatic tail was detected through follow-up abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). This revealed two adjacent ring-enhanced masses that had been in tight contact with the left diaphragm and were enlarged. The tumors had high signal intensity in diffusion-weighted images of magnetic resonance imaging, and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) showed abnormal uptake (standardized uptake value maximum: 17.4). Therefore, we conducted a partial resection of the remnant pancreas with concomitant resection of the left diaphragm. Microscopically, one of the tumors revealed rare fragments of apparently benign squamous epithelium on a background of keratinous debris, cyst contents, and scattered lymphocytes, and the adjacent mass revealed infiltrated neutrophils. The histopathological diagnosis was an LEC with chronic abscess. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 10. Conclusions We reported a rare case of LEC with chronic abscess that was positively visualized on FDG-PET. When a pancreatic malignancy cannot be excluded, surgical resection is considered inevitable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In today's aging society, surgery is increasingly performed for older patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC). This study aimed to examine survival and oncological outcomes in octogenarians with PHCC who underwent surgery. METHODS We retrospectively examined 480 consecutive PHCC patients treated for PHCC between 1991 and 2020. Two hundred forty-seven underwent resection. Patient and clinical characteristics, including postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed. RESULTS The proportion of octogenarians with PHCC undergoing surgery increased from 5.2% in 1991-2000 to 13.4% in 2016-2020. R0 resection and postoperative complication rates were comparable between octogenarians and younger patients. Five-year OS (30.0% vs. 31.7%) and DFS (20.0% vs. 29.5%) did not significantly differ. One-year OS was significantly better in octogenarians who underwent resection than those who did not (95.0% vs. 17.6%; p < .001). Two octogenarians who developed Clavien-Dindo grade III complications had undergone right hemihepatectomy (RH). Posthepatectomy liver failure and biliary leakage (Grade B) were also observed in octogenarians who underwent RH. CONCLUSION In well-selected octogenarians with PHCC, surgery offers short- and long-term outcomes comparable with those of their younger counterparts. RH may be considered in octogenarians on an individual basis.

Abstract
Background Peritoneal recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy occurs rarely, accounting for less than 1% of all recurrences. Reported causes of such dissemination include a history of rupture of the original HCC, needle biopsy or puncture treatment, and surgical procedures. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy for peritoneal dissemination. There have been few reports on assisting resection of peritoneal dissemination by using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence. Case presentation A 57-year-old man underwent posterior sectionectomy for HCC. Six months later, computed tomography revealed multiple nodules suspected of indicating peritoneal dissemination. Various preoperative imaging studies demonstrated only four nodules, the doubling time of the tumors being rapid at 22 days. The nodules were therefore resected. ICG (0.5 mg/kg) was injected intravenously 2 days before the procedure, enabling identification of the nodules by their brightness in the operative field under near-infrared lighting. A total of eight lesions were detected during the procedure and resected, some of which had not been identified by preoperative imaging studies. We diagnosed peritoneal dissemination of HCC based on the pathological findings and their similarity to those of the original HCC. We concluded that the recurrences were likely attributable to exposure of the tumor to the serosa at the time of the original operation. Conclusions Although ICG fluorescence is useful for identifying peritoneal dissemination of HCC, attention should be paid to the difficulty in detecting deep lesions and occurrence of false positives.

Abstract
Background Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a compensatory response occurring secondary to inadequate bone marrow function and is occasionally observed in essential thrombocythemia (ET). This disease usually presents as multifocal masses in the paravertebral or intra-abdominal region; however, formation of a focal mass in the liver or spleen is rare. In addition, ET is characterized by increased platelet count and shows a tendency toward thrombosis and, occasionally, bleeding. Serious bleeding is common in ET patients, caused by the decrease in or abnormalities of von Willebrand factor (vWF) as a consequence of the precipitous rise in platelets. Therefore, strict management of platelet count using medication is crucial in patients with ET who require invasive procedures, especially splenectomy. Case presentation A 68-year-old man with ET was found to have an enlargement of a focal splenic tumor. Imaging findings revealed that the tumor was likely a hemangioma or hamartoma; however, the possibility of malignant disease could not be completely ruled out because of short-term tumor enlargement, and we conducted a splenectomy. The surgery was uneventful, but the patient presented with severe polycythemia and vWF abnormalities postoperatively, which resulted in bleeding from the drain insertion site and wound, epistaxis, and hemorrhoidal bleeding. Three months after discharge, polycythemia still persisted and the level of vWF gradually decreased. With a decrease in vWF, the patient suffered from an increased bleeding tendency. Therefore, the patient has been referred for bone marrow transplantation and is currently awaiting a suitable donor. Conclusions Extramedullary hematopoiesis should be listed as a differential diagnosis of focal enlarged splenic tumors, especially in patients with myeloproliferative disorders. Additionally, in splenectomy for ET patients, careful perioperative management taking into consideration the conflicting features of a tendency toward thrombus formation and bleeding is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a severe complication after cardiovascular surgery (CS). The purpose of this study was to delineate the clinical picture of AC after CS to propose an optimal treatment strategy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 88 patients who underwent cholecystectomy for grade II or III AC between 2008 and 2019 (AC after CS: Group CS, n = 37; AC without CS: Group non-CS, n = 51). RESULTS The proportion of grade III AC in Group CS was significantly higher than that in Group non-CS (73% vs 41%, P = .005). Furthermore, the incidences of acalculous (81% vs 39%) and gangrenous (86% vs 59%) AC were significantly higher in Group CS (P < .05 for both). In Group CS, 11 patients had had percutaneous drainage preceding surgery, for whom cholecystectomy within 3 days was eventually necessary because their general condition was exacerbated. The incidence of a positive culture from the gallbladder bile and blood samples of Group CS were significantly higher (P < .05 for both); multidrug-resistant bacteria were detected at an especially high rate. However, the morbidity rate was comparable, and zero mortality was achieved in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Timely surgical intervention without hesitation is recommended for AC after CS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) is the only means of achieving R0 resection of widespread extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, its safety and oncological benefit remain controversial because of its inherent high risk of mortality and morbidity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze short- and long-term outcomes and evaluate the safety and oncological benefit of this advanced procedure. METHODS The study cohort comprised 37 consecutive patients who had undergone major HPD. Portal vein embolization was performed before surgery in 20 (54%) patients with future remnant liver volume < 35%. RESULTS The median operative time and blood loss were 866 min and 1000 mL, respectively. Concomitant vascular resection was performed in five patients (14%). The overall morbidity and mortality rates were 100% and 5.4% (n = 2), respectively. Nineteen patients (51%) had major (Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher) complications, the most common being intra-abdominal infection (49%) and post-hepatectomy liver failure (46%, grade B/C: 32%/5%), followed by postoperative pancreatic fistula (30%, grade B/C). R0 resection was achieved in 31 patients (84%). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 83%, 48%, and 37%, respectively. In patients with R0 resection, 5-year OS was comparable between patients who had undergone major HPD and major hepatectomy alone (41% vs. 40%, p = non-significant). CONCLUSIONS HPD is a valid treatment option for extensive cholangiocarcinoma, offering long-term survival benefit at the cost of relatively high but acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. HPD is advocated in selected patients provided that it is considered possible to achieve R0 resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We conducted a randomized clinical trial to determine if high-dose digestive enzymes prevented the development of NAFLD after PD. STUDY DESIGN This parallel-group, nonblinded, multicenter study enrolled patients undergoing elective PD at Shinshu University School of Medicine, from June 2011 to April 2017. Patients were randomly assigned to receive normal-dose (Excelase: 3.0 g/day [Meiji Seika Pharma Holdings Co, Ltd]) or high-dose digestive enzyme treatment (Excelase: 3.0 g/day; Pancreatin [Tokyo Chemical Industry Co Ltd]: 3.0 g/day; Berizym [Kyowa Pharmaceutical Industry Co Ltd]: 3.0 g/day; and Toughmac-E [Ono Pharmaceutical Co, Ltd]: 3.0 g/day) within 1 week after surgery. Because patients in the control group switched interventions upon receiving a diagnosis of NAFLD, intention-to-treat analysis was used. The primary endpoint was incidence of NAFLD within 1 year, and the secondary endpoints were the incidences of NAFLD at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and the rate of improvement in NAFLD with high-dose transfer in the control group. The secondary analysis comprised assessment of risk factors for the development of NAFLD. RESULTS Eighty-four patients were randomly assigned (42 per group), 80 of whom were finally analyzed (39 normal-dose, 41 high-dose). The incidence of NAFLD was significantly lower in the high-dose (8 of 41) compared with the normal-dose (25 of 39) patients (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified normal-dose (odds ratio [OR] 14.65, p < 0.001), total protein ≤ 6.5g/dL (OR 9.01, p = 0.018), pre-albumin ≤ 22.0 mg/dL (OR 7.71, p = 0.018), and pancreatic function diagnostic test ≤ 70% (OR 6.66, p = 0.009) as independent risk factors. There were no adverse effects. The model was accurate (c-index = 0.92) and reliable (Hosmer-Lemeshow test p = 0.32). CONCLUSIONS High-dose administration of digestive enzymes significantly reduced the onset of NAFLD after PD compared with normal-dose administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation may have prognostic value in some malignancies and association with lymph node metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of systemic inflammatory biomarkers on long-term and oncological outcomes as well as to assess the association between biomarkers with lymph node metastasis in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients. METHODS We enrolled 271 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Poor prognostic factors were compared to identify the biomarkers that were most associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) using receiver operating characteristic curves and multivariable analysis. Furthermore, we evaluated the relationship between biomarkers and lymph node metastasis. RESULTS Four and two biomarkers were predictive for OS and DFS, respectively, among which, the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) had the highest area under the curve values (OS: 0.631, DFS: 0.624). Multivariable analysis showed that a high CAR was an independent prognostic factor for both OS and DFS (P = .002 and P < .001, respectively). Although a high CAR was not significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (P = .645), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 showed a significant correlation (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CAR is the most accurate prognostic factor for OS and DFS in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients and is independent of lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Splenic vein stenosis and occlusion, which are known causes of left-sided portal hypertension, often occur secondary to trauma, pancreatitis, or invasion or compression by pancreatic tumors. However, few reports have described idiopathic splenic vein stenosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital for examination of isolated gastric varices. He had no history of liver disease, pancreatitis, or abdominal trauma. Computed tomography revealed stenosis of almost the entire length of the splenic vein, and development of gastric fundal and short gastric varices. No inflammatory changes or neoplastic lesions of the pancreas were observed in any imaging study. The patient was diagnosed with left-sided portal hypertension caused by idiopathic splenic vein stenosis, and splenectomy was performed. The postoperative course was smooth, and improvement of the gastric varices was shown by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at 3 months after the operation. CONCLUSIONS Idiopathic splenic vein stenosis is an extremely rare cause of left-sided portal hypertension. Splenectomy is one of the most effective treatments for left-sided portal hypertension caused by idiopathic splenic vein stenosis.

Abstract
132 Background: The impact of adjuvant chemotherapy for advanced biliary cancer remains controversial. We previously failed to show survival benefit of adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy (UMIN000014018). The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of adjuvant gemcitabine plus S-1 chemotherapy after surgical resection for advanced biliary cancer. Methods: Between January 2006 and May 2019, a total of 110 patients who underwent surgical resection for biliary cancer (UICC Stage II or more) were enrolled in this study. Of these, 33 patients subsequently received 12 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (GS group), and 77 patients underwent surgery alone (S group). A cycle of chemotherapy consisted of oral S-1 70mg/m2 for 7 consecutive days and intravenous gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 on day 7, followed by a 1-week break from chemotherapy. Clinicopathological factors and patient survival were compared between the two groups. Results: GS group had significantly younger patients ( P = 0.036) and higher UICC T factor ( P = 0.001). Surgical procedure was significantly different in the two groups (P = 0.010). Other patient demographics and tumor characteristics were similar between the two groups. The completion rate of adjuvant chemotherapy was 57.6%, and there was no treatment-related deaths. All grades and grade 3/4 adverse event were seen in 60.6% and 33.3%, respectively. Three-year recurrence-free and overall survival rates were significantly higher in GS group than S group (61.9% vs. 34.4%, P = 0.016; 77.6% vs. 39.7%, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy using gemcitabine plus S-1 was well tolerated and it would be an effective treatment strategy for the patients with resected advanced biliary cancer. Based on these results, randomized controlled study should be warranted.

Abstract
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations increased significantly over the last century and continuing increases are expected to have significant effects on current ecosystems. This study evaluated the behavioural and physiological (hormone status, muscle structure) effects of prolonged CO2 exposure in young female Wistar rats exposed at 700ppm of CO2 during 6h a day for 15days. Prolonged CO2 exposure, though not continuous, produced significant disturbances in behaviour with an increase in drinking, grooming and resting, and a reduction in rearing, jumping-play and locomotor activity. Furthermore, CO2 exposure was accompanied by increased plasma levels of corticosterone, suggesting that prolonged exposure to CO2 was stressful. The muscular structure can also be modified also when respiratory working conditions change. The expression of myosin heavy chain was significantly affected in the diaphragm and oral respiratory muscles: Masseter Superficialis and Anterior Digastric. Modified behaviour and hormonal changes both appear to be at the origin of the observed muscular adaptation.

Abstract
Many songbirds are socially monogamous but genetically polyandrous, mating with individuals outside their pair bonds. Extra-pair paternity (EPP) varies within and across species, but reasons for this variation remain unclear. One possible source of variation is population genetic diversity, which has been shown in interspecific meta-analyses to correlate with EPP but which has limited support from intraspecific tests. Using eight populations of the genetically polyandrous red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), including an island population, we investigated whether population-level differences in genetic diversity led to differences in EPP. We first measured genetic diversity over 10 microsatellite loci and found, as predicted, low genetic diversity in the island population. Additional structure analyses with multilocus genotypes and mtDNA showed the island population to be distinct from the continental populations. However, the island population's EPP rate fell in the middle of the continental populations' distribution, whereas the continental populations themselves showed significant variation in EPP. This result suggests that genetic diversity by itself is not a predictor of EPP rate. We discuss reasons for the departure from previous results, including hypotheses for EPP that do not solely implicate female-driven behaviour.

Abstract
A murine monoclonal antibody, designated Nd2, was generated using a purified mucin from the human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 as the immunogen. Administration of Nd2 into the patients with pancreatic cancer has shown that Nd2 is of clinical use for in vivo diagnostics of pancreatic cancer. In this study, starting with a previously established hybridoma producing Nd2, we have established a transfected cell line expressing a recombinant chimeric Nd2 composed of mouse-derived antigen-binding variable regions and human-derived constant regions. The chimeric Nd2 was shown to bind purified mucin from SW1990 cells with the same dose-response curve as the original Nd2. Immunohistochemical experiments have shown that the reactivity of the chimeric Nd2 in normal and malignant pancreatic tissue is also the same as that of the original Nd2. Replacement of a substantial portion of the mouse protein makes this chimeric Nd2 more promising for clinical application than the original mouse-derived Nd2 because its antigenicity is expected to be reduced.

Abstract
Cri-du-chat syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency of the genes on the distal part of the short arm of chromosome 5, and characteristic features include microcephaly, developmental delays, and a distinctive high-pitched mewing cry. Most cri-du-chat syndrome cases result from a sporadic de novo deletion that is associated with a low recurrence risk. On rare occasions, however, cri-du-chat syndrome with 5p monosomy can be accompanied by 5q trisomy. This combination is virtually always associated with parental large pericentric inversions. Among previously reported cri-du-chat syndrome cases with 5p monosomy accompanied by 5q trisomy, the aneusomy of chromosome 5 in all but one case was cytogenetically visible using G-banding. When an accompanying 5q trisomy is detected, a significant recurrence risk is expected. We here report on a patient with cri-du-chat syndrome phenotype who initially exhibited a normal karyotype on G-banding but in whom molecular analysis using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and array comparative genomic hybridization revealed a 5p deletion accompanied by a 5q duplication. Parental chromosomal testing led to the identification of a very large pericentric inversion, of which breakpoints resided at the terminal regions of 5p15.31 and 5q35.1. This information was vital for counseling the family regarding the significantly high recurrence risk.

Abstract
As antibiotic pressure often triggers bacterial resistance, the use of short-duration therapies is increasingly recommended. The objective of the present study was to evaluate both the clinical efficiency and the impact on oral streptococci of a 3 day versus a 7 day amoxicillin therapy for odontogenic infection requiring tooth extraction. On day 0, patients were randomly assigned to a 3 day or 7 day amoxicillin treatment. The tooth was extracted on day 2 and the post-operative follow-up was carried out on day 9. Oral flora was collected on days 0, 9 and 30, and the susceptibility of the streptococci to amoxicillin was determined. The results showed that treatment with amoxicillin for 3 or 7 days had a similar clinical efficiency, and also induced similar selection of oral streptococci with reduced susceptibility to amoxicillin, suggesting that the selection of strains with reduced susceptibility to amoxicillin is a rapid phenomenon, appearing even with short-duration therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin is an attractive target for gene therapy. However, low efficiency of gene transfection has been a major problem. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been reported to increase transgene expression in malignant cells. OBJECTIVES We have estimated how much HDAC inhibitors might increase transgene expression in HaCaT cells, normal human epidermal keratinocyte (NHEK) cells, normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells and also in stratified cultured epidermal sheets that mimic the structure of the skin. METHODS After treatment with each HDAC inhibitor [trichostatin A, FK228 and cyclic hydroxamic acid-containing peptide 31 (CHAP31)], transient transgene expression in HaCaT, NHEK and NHDF cells and stratified cultured epidermal sheets was compared with that of respective controls without treatment. Reactivation of transgene expression using HDAC inhibitors in HaCaT cells stably expressing the transgene was also studied. RESULTS All HDAC inhibitors equally increased transient transgene expression by 2-fold in NHEK cells, 20-fold in NHDF cells and 6-fold in HaCaT cells when compared with untreated cells. This augmented expression continued for 72 h in all cell lines maintained under each HDAC inhibitor. In cells stably expressing the transgene, only CHAP31 reactivated transgene expression. In stratified cultured epidermal sheets, CHAP31 most effectively improved transient transgene expression. CONCLUSIONS HDAC inhibitors are most efficient at amplifying transient transgene expression in NHDF cells. This suggests that NHDF cells may be most suitable as transgene targets for transient gene transfection using HDAC inhibitors. Specific HDAC inhibitors may not prove so useful for treating genetic dermatoses requiring cells stably expressing the correct gene, but may be advantageous in treating nonhealing cutaneous wounds or cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The major problem in cord blood (CB) transplantation for adult patients is shortage of stem cell number. To overcome this disadvantage, several studies on ex vivo expansion have been performed. However, such efforts are always troubled by the lack of a reliable and simple assay system for stem cells. Our aim was to establish an in vivo assay system to compare the directly repopulating ability of two populations of human hematopoietic stem cells using a xenogeneic transplant system. METHODS Thirty CB samples from infants of each sex were pooled and enriched for CD34(+) progenitor cells. Enriched CD34(+) cells were transplanted into irradiated NOD/SCID mice at different male to female ratios, and human hematopoietic cells recovered 7 weeks after transplantation were analyzed by a quantitative DNA sex test using competitive PCR for the amelogenin gene. Using this assay system, ex vivo cultured and non-cultured CB cells were compared for repopulating ability. RESULTS The sex ratio of human CB cells transplanted was found to be maintained for 7 weeks in matured and progenitor cells. The competitive repopulation assay of cultured and non-cultured CB cells showed a marked defect in the repopulating ability of cultured cells, although the LTCIC count was maintained during cultivation. DISCUSSION Our assay system is a simple and reliable quantitative method that permits direct comparison of two stem cell compartments. The assay system will be useful for the assessment of the functional abilities of various human hematopoietic stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) comprises a group of hereditary bullous diseases characterized by intraepidermal blistering caused by mutations in either keratin gene, KRT5 or KRT14. Significant correlation between the position of mutations within these proteins and the clinical severity of EBS has been noted. A recent report showed EBS cases in Israel had unique genetic features compared with European or U.S.A. associated families, which suggests that the ethnic and geographical features of EBS patients may be different. OBJECTIVES To assess the possibility that EBS may present with certain specific features in Japanese and Koreans and to identify additional EBS mutations for genotype/phenotype correlation. METHODS EBS was clinically diagnosed and confirmed by transmission electron microscopic examination of a skin biopsy. Mutation analysis of KRT5 and KRT14 was performed by direct sequencing in 17 Japanese and two Korean EBS patients. RESULTS We have identified six novel KRT5 missense mutations (V143D, D158V, V186M, Q191P, R352S, G517D). R352S is the first mutation in the 2A domain. Most of these novel mutations changed amino acids that were evolutionarily conserved. Eight including all five mutations in EBS-Dowling-Meara patients have been previously reported. We were unable to detect mutations in five sporadic EBS-Koebner patients. The proportion of mutations in KRT5 (11 of 14; 78%) is higher than that for KRT14 mutations (3 of 14; 21%) in these Japanese and Korean EBS patients. CONCLUSIONS Japanese and Korean patients with EBS showed very similar phenotype and genotype correlations with patients from Western countries. Whether the higher proportion of KRT5 mutations is a definite characteristic of Japanese and Korean patients with EBS or not, requires further research into mutations in Japanese and Korean people.
