Abstract
We report here two cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma which occurred in the biliary system. The prognosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma in the biliary system is generally poor. However, based on the preoperative pathological diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma, multidisciplinary treatment consisting of preoperative chemotherapy, chemoradiation therapy, curative resection and adjuvant chemotherapy seemed to be very effective and long-term survival was obtained in our two cases. Therefore it is essential to diagnose preoperatively to improve prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Factors associated with liver stiffness (LS) are unknown and normal reference values for LS have not been established. Individuals at high risk for alcoholic (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty (NAFLD) liver disease need to be non-invasively discriminated during routine health checks. Factors related to LS measured using a FibroScan and normal reference values for LS are presented in this report. METHODS We measured LS using a FibroScan in 416 consecutive individuals who presented for routine medical checks. We also investigated the relationship between LS and age, body mass index (BMI), liver function (LF), alcohol consumption, and fatty liver determined by ultrasonography. We identified individuals at high-risk for ALD and NAFLD as having a higher LS value than the normal upper limit detected in 171 healthy controls. RESULTS The LS value for all individuals was 4.7 +/- 1.5 kPa (mean +/- SD) and LS significantly and positively correlated with BMI and LF test results. The LS was significantly higher among individuals with, than without fatty liver. Liver stiffness in the 171 healthy controls was 4.3 +/- 0.81 kPa and the upper limit of LS in the normal controls was 5.9 kPa. We found that 60 (14.3%) of 416 study participants had abnormal LS. The proportion of individuals whose LS values exceeded the normal upper limit was over five-fold higher among those with, than without fatty liver accompanied by abnormal LF test results. CONCLUSIONS Liver stiffness could be used to non-invasively monitor the progression of chronic liver diseases and to discriminate individuals at high risk for ALD and NAFLD during routine health assessments.

Abstract
Early gastric cancer can be macroscopically classified into elevated and depressed types. To clarify the relationship between macroscopic appearance of early gastric cancer and apoptosis or cell proliferation, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of 44 intestinal-type early gastric cancers were investigated by the TUNEL method and immunohistochemical techniques. Diffuse type was excluded in this study. When tissue sections of gastric cancer were vertically classified into the 3 compartments of luminar, intermediate and basal, the apoptosis index (%) was significantly higher in the basal compartment of depressed type (1.76 +/- 2.04, mean +/- SD) than in the basal compartment of elevated type (0.63 +/- 0.81, P = 0.01). In depressed type, the apoptosis index (%) was significantly higher in the basal compartment than in the luminar compartment (0.76 +/- 0.85, P = 0.03). Apoptosis-inducing protein, Bax, was expressed more in each of the compartments of depressed type than in those of elevated type, while there were no significant differences in expression of anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2, between the two types. Moreover, the apoptosis index (%) of Bax-positive gastric cancer was significantly higher in the basal compartment (P = 0.03), compared to that of Bax-negative gastric cancer, while there were no significant differences in apoptosis index (%) in any compartment between Bcl-2-positive and Bcl-2-negative gastric cancers. There were no significant differences in Ki-67 expression, either between the two types, or among the compartments of depressed type. These results indicate that increased apoptosis with excessive expression of Bax in the basal compartment is involved in the morphogenesis of the depressed type in intestinal-type early gastric cancer.

Abstract
We examined cardiovascular complication of interferon (IFN) therapy in 23 patients with chronic hepatitis C who did not have cardiac disease prospectively. Twenty four-h Holter monitor recordings were performed before and during IFN therapy. Seven of these patients (30%) showed abnormalities on their 24-h Holter monitoring recordings. Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) occurred in two patients, intermittent WPW syndrome in one, and ST-T change in four. Only one patient with PVC complained of palpitation. These complications were not severe and immediately after IFN therapy was stopped. There was no correlation between Holter ECG abnormalities and sex, age, quantity of HCV, or 2-5 oligoadenylate synthetase activity. It was suggested that cardiovascular complications caused by IFN therapy occurred more frequently than expected. However, diagnosis of these complications is difficult because most patients have no subjective symptoms and there is scarcely any change in laboratory test results. Careful observation of patients may be required during IFN therapy regardless of cardiovascular symptoms.

Abstract
To evaluate the incidence of abnormal gastroesophageal reflux in patients with bronchial asthma and the influence of drug therapy on the gastroesophageal reflux, we investigated the gastroesophageal reflux patterns using an ambulatory 24-hour esophageal monitoring in 25 healthy volunteers and 58 asthmatics. All the patients were stable conditions at the time of the study. Bronchodilator therapy was continued, if necessary along with steroid inhalation and xanthines. Compared with healthy volunteers, the asthmatics had significantly greater esophageal acid exposure time, more frequent reflux episode, and longer single reflux time. About 70% of asthmatics had abnormal gastroesophageal reflux. Asthma medications were not associated with the incidence of abnormal gastroesophageal reflux. However, asthmatics receiving beta(2)-stimulants therapy (n = 27) had significantly greater esophageal reflux exposure time than those not receiving (n = 31). Our study suggested that most asthmatics have abnormal gastroesophageal reflux unrelated to asthma attack or asthma medications and that beta(2)-stimulants used in asthmatics may worsen gastroesophageal reflux.

Abstract
A 50-year-old woman is presented here with natural killer (NK) cell type lymphoproliferative disorder of granular lymphocytes. She was admitted to the hospital because of dyspnea on exertion. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral reticular shadows. Open lung biopsy demonstrated usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Her white blood cell count was 3,900/mm3, of which 55% was large granular lymphocytes (LGLs). The LGLs were CD3- CD16+CD56+, and the clonality of them was not confirmed. Despite steroid therapy, she died from exacerbation of UIP complicated with opportunistic infection. The patient, her father and son had pancytopenia. Congenital immunological abnormality might cause both large granular lymphocytosis and UIP.
