Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic tail cancer (Pt-PC) is generally considered resectable when metastasis is absent, but doubts persist in clinical practice due to the variability in local tumor extent. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to comprehensively identify prognostic factors associated with Pt-PC after resection. METHODS We enrolled 100 patients that underwent distal pancreatectomy. The optimal combination of factors influencing relapse-free survival (RFS) was determined using the maximum likelihood method (MLM) and corrected Akaike and Bayesian information criteria (AICc and BIC). Prognostic elements were then validated to predict oncological outcomes. RESULTS Therapeutic interventions included neoadjuvant treatment in 16 patients and concomitant visceral resection (CVR) in 37 patients; 89 patients achieved R0. Median RFS and OS after surgery were 23.1 and 37.1 months, respectively. AICc/BIC were minimized in the model with ASA-PS (≥2), CA19-9 (≥112 U/mL at baseline, non-normalized postoperatively), need for CVR, 6 pathological items (tumor diameter ≥19.5 mm, histology G1, invasion of the anterior pancreatic border, splenic vein invasion, splenic artery invasion, lymph node metastasis), and completed adjuvant treatment (cAT) for RFS. Regarding the predictive value of these 11 factors, area under the curve was 0.842 for 5-year RFS. Multivariate analysis of these 11 factors showed that predictors of RFS include CVR (hazard ratio, 2.13; 95 % confidence interval, 1.08-4.19; p = 0.028) and cAT (0.38, 0.19-0.76; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS The MLM identified certain Pt-PC cases warranting consideration beyond resectable during clinical management. Particular attention should be paid to conditions requiring CVR, even though immortal time bias remains unresolved with adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
Eosinophilic cholangiopathy (EC) presents with thickening and stenosis of the bile duct wall that is histologically characterized by eosinophil infiltration. The diagnosis is often difficult. We herein report a patient who had been followed up with a diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis but had a final diagnosis of EC based on eosinophilia, histological findings of bile duct and liver biopsy specimens, and a review of a previous surgical specimen of the gallbladder. Antigen tests, isolation from her house, and accidental re-exposure to the antigen revealed that the causative antigen was the mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.

Abstract
Immunotherapy using anti-programmed death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies has shown clinical efficacy against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is recognized as the first-line treatment for unresectable HCC. PD-L1 expression is affected by various cytokines produced by immune cells in the tumor microenvironment; however, there is limited information about the effects of cytokine interactions on PD-L1 expression. In this study, we examined how cytokines induce PD-L1 expression in HCC cells. Both interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) induced PD-L1 expression, and the two cytokines enhanced PD-L1 expression in combination compared to that when administered alone. The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway activated by IFN-γ is the major pathway of PD-L1 expression. The increase in interferon regulatory factor 1 expression and IFN-γ receptor expression induced by IL-1β was associated with the synergistic effect of IFN-γ and IL-1β on PD-L1 expression. These findings strongly indicate that IFN-γ and IL-1β affect the mechanism underlying immune resistance in HCC cells. IFN-γ and IL-1β synergistically increase the expression of PD-L1 in HCC cells. IFN-γ enhances PD-L1 expression via STAT1 signaling. IL-1β enhances PD-L1 expression via the NF-κB and the p38 MAPK pathways. IRF-1 and IFNGR also contribute to the synergistic effect of IFN-γ and IL-1β in HCC.

Abstract
Although neoadjuvant therapy (Nac) is recommended for high-risk resectable pancreatic cancer (R-PDAC), evidence regarding specific regimes is scarce. This report aimed to investigate the efficacy of S-1 Nac for R-PDAC. In a multicenter phase II trial, we investigated the efficacy of Nac S-1 (an oral fluoropyrimidine agent containing tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium) in R-PDAC patients. The protocol involved two cycles of preoperative S-1 chemotherapy, followed by surgery, and four cycles of postoperative S-1 chemotherapy. Two-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were the primary endpoint. Overall survival (OS) rates and median survival time (MST) were secondary endpoints. Forty-nine patients were eligible, and 31 patients underwent resection following Nac, as per protocol (31/49; 63.3%). Per-protocol analysis included data from 31 patients, yielding the 2-year PFS rate of 58.1%, and 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 96.8%, 54.8%, and 44.0%, respectively. MST was 49.2 months. Intention-to-treat analysis involved 49 patients, yielding the 2-year PFS rate of 40.8%, and the 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 87.8%, 46.9%, and 33.9%, respectively. MST was 35.5 months. S-1 single regimen might be an option for Nac in R-PDAC; however, the high drop-out rate (36.7%) was a limitation of this study.

Abstract
The histological diagnosis of type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) based on the findings obtained by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is feasible, but the diagnostic consistency of this method has not been confirmed. We determined the interobserver agreement among 20 pathologists regarding the diagnosis of type 1 AIP, including the distinction from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using large tissue samples obtained by EUS-FNB. After guidance for diagnosing AIP with biopsy tissues was provided, a round 2 was performed. The median sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing PDAC vs. non-neoplastic diseases were 95.2% and 100%, respectively. In groups of specialists (n = 7) and the generalists (n = 13), Fleiss' к-values increased from 0.886 to 0.958 and from 0.750 to 0.816 in round 2. The concordance was fair or moderate for obliterative phlebitis and storiform fibrosis but slight for ductal lesion of type 1 AIP. Discordant results were due to ambiguous findings and biopsy tissue limitations. Among the specialists, the ratio of cases with perfect agreement regarding the presence of storiform fibrosis increased in round 2, but agreement regarding obliterative phlebitis or ductal lesions was not improved. Although the histological definite diagnosis of type 1 AIP was achieved by most observers in > 60% of the cases, the confidence levels varied. Because some ambiguities exist, the histological diagnostic levels based on the diagnostic criteria of type 1 AIP should not be taken for granted. Guidance is effective for improving accurate PDAC diagnoses (notably by recognizing acinar-ductal metaplasia) and for evaluating storiform fibrosis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) is a rare tumor. MiNEN of the gallbladder (GB) with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PMJ) is extremely rare. The origin of MiNEN of the GB remains unknown; the biliary tract normally lacks neuroendocrine cells. MiNEN of the GB has a poor prognosis; because of its rarity, no treatment or management guidelines have been established yet. PATIENT CONCERNS A 47-year-old male presenting with right hypochondrial pain and malaise for 3 months was referred to our hospital for further management. DIAGNOSIS The neuron-specific enolase level was increased. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a mass of 70 mm in size with unclear boundaries in the liver. The GB was surrounded by this mass, narrowing the lumen of the GB. Many swollen lymph nodes were observed in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a PMJ with a non-dilated biliary duct. A percutaneous biopsy was performed on the liver mass, and the pathological findings were neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) (small cell type). We diagnosed a NEC of the GB, T3N1M0, stage IIIB (Union for International Cancer Control, 7th edition). INTERVENTIONS Because of advanced lymph node metastasis, we considered this tumor difficult to cure solely by surgical intervention. After initial chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin and irinotecan, a marked reduction in both tumor and lymph node sizes enabled conversion surgery. The pathological diagnosis of the resected tumor was MiNEN consisting of NEC and adenocarcinoma. The primary lesion was the adenocarcinoma occupying the luminal side of the GB. As a postsurgical treatment, the patient received additional irradiation therapy to the common hepatic duct and liver stump because of positive surgical margins. OUTCOMES At 13 months postoperatively, computed tomography findings revealed the appearance of a hypervascular liver tumor, and laboratory data showed increased serum neuron-specific enolase levels. Chemotherapy was unsuccessful, leading to the death of the patient 36 months from the date of diagnosis. LESSONS There are several reports on the development of MiNEN of the GB. In our case, a PMJ-related adenocarcinoma of the GB transdifferentiated into NEC. Further accumulation of cases is necessary to establish a treatment strategy for MiNEN of the GB.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest cancer types. Activating oncogenic KRAS mutations are commonly observed in PDAC; however, oncogenic KRAS amplification is rarely observed, and its significance in prognosis and resistance to therapy remains poorly characterized. The present report describes the case of a 52-year-old male patient diagnosed with advanced PDAC with liver metastasis. The patient received modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) therapy to which the patient became intolerant with a strong inflammatory response. Subsequent treatment with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel failed to control the disease. Targeted genetic analysis revealed KRASG12D and TP53R248Q mutations in the primary tumor and liver metastases. Analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) before the first line of treatment confirmed these genetic findings and revealed a >4-fold amplification of the mutant KRASG12D not detected in the primary tumor. Additionally, subsequent analysis confirmed a 5-fold amplification of the KRASG12D allele in liver metastasis. Consecutive monitoring of ctDNA revealed an initial decrease in the tumor burden 2 weeks after the first cycle of mFFX. However, coinciding with treatment intolerance, a sharp increase in tumor mutational levels and KRASG12D amplification was observed 1 month later. The patient died 70 days after treatment initiation. Overall, amplification of oncogenic KRASG12D was not only associated with an aggressive phenotype, but also supported cancer resistance to chemotherapy. Importantly, this case suggests that plasma detection of KRASG12D amplification is feasible in the clinical routine and constitutes a powerful tool for assessing tumor aggressiveness.

Abstract
Purpose Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the world. During the pandemic, physicians in our hospital have had to respond both to the issue of treating the patients and the increasing domestic burden associated with social disruption. The purpose of this study was to assess how much the burden on our doctors, especially female doctors, was increasing. Material and methods The Physicians’ Career Support Committee in Sapporo Medical University conducted a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire inquired about a wide range of subjects with regard to working style and family life during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was sent to all medical/dental physicians working in Sapporo Medical University. Results A total of 266 (42.7%) physicians in our hospital responded to our questionnaire and the data for 264 data were analyzed. The total numbers of males, females, and others, including those who did not want to specify, were 178 (67.4%), 82 (31.0%), and 4 (1.5%), respectively. Among them, 62 (23.5%) and 23 (8.7%) answered that their domestic burden was slightly or markedly increased. The increase in the domestic burden showed a significant difference between genders (p = 0.04). Even after correction for background differences using multivariate analysis, being female (p<0.001), having child dependents (p<0.001), and treating COVID-19 patients (p = 0.03) were significantly related to an increased domestic burden. Regarding family style, 58.1% of the physician-fathers were from two-income families (i.e., families with both parents in employment), and they answered that their partner mainly cared for the children. In contrast, 97.3% of physician-mothers were from two-income families, and 94.6% of the physician-mothers had to take care of children by themselves. Conclusion Physician-mothers are caught in a dilemma between an increased home burden and clinical duties in the hospital, with a significantly higher ratio than physician-fathers during the pandemic. As we showed, female doctors could have not continued their careers and take responsible positions in the same way as male doctors. This is a social risk in the timing of a crisis, such as a pandemic.

Abstract
A 60-year-old man was admitted for investigation of a mediastinal cystic lesion. During endoscopic retrograde pancreatography, the contrast medium leaked from the head of the main pancreatic duct, and the cystic fluid collected with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) -guided aspiration showed high levels of pancreatic enzymes. Therefore, we diagnosed mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst. The pseudocyst shrank as a result of EUS-guided drainage, and an endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage tube was then placed to close the fistula of the pancreatic duct. This case suggests that endoscopic procedures could be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst. We review 48 case reports of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst and discuss the usefulness of endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy/neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NAC/NACRT) can be performed in patients with pancreatic cancer to improve survival. We aimed to clarify the clinical outcomes of biliary drainage with a metal stent (MS) or a plastic stent (PS) during NAC/NACRT. Between October 2013 and April 2016, 96 patients with pancreatic cancer were registered for NAC/NACRT. Of these, 29 patients who underwent biliary drainage with MS or PS before NAC/NACRT and a subsequent pancreatoduodenectomy were retrospectively analyzed with regard to patient characteristics, preoperative recurrent biliary obstruction rate, NAC/NACRT delay or discontinuation rate, and operative characteristics. The median age of the patients was 67 years. NAC and NACRT were performed in 14 and 15 patients, respectively, and MS and PS were used in 17 and 12 patients, respectively. Recurrent biliary obstruction occurred in 6% and 83% of the patients in the MS and PS groups, respectively (p<0.001). NAC/NACRT delay was observed in 35% and 50% of the patients in the MS and PS groups, respectively (p=0.680). NAC/NACRT discontinuation was observed in 12% and 17% of the patients in the MS and PS groups, respectively (p=1.000). The operative time in the MS group tended to be longer than that in the PS group (625 minutes vs 497 minutes, p=0.051), and the operative blood loss volumes and postoperative adverse event rates were not different between the two groups. MS was better than PS from the viewpoint of preventing recurrent biliary obstruction, although MS was similar to PS with regards to perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatectomy is one of the severe postoperative adverse events. We aimed to clarify the outcomes of a strategy for POPF after left-sided pancreatectomy with one-step endoscopic ultrasonography-guided drainage (EUSD) and percutaneous drainage (PCD) based on the wall status of collected fluid. METHODS From January 2012 to September 2017, 90 of 336 patients developed grade B/C POPF and were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcome measures were the technical and clinical success and resolution rates. Secondary outcome measures were time from surgery to intervention, and time from intervention to discharge/resolution or stent/tube removal and adverse events. RESULTS Seventeen patients underwent EUSD and 73 patients underwent PCD for POPF. The technical success rates were 100% in both the EUSD and PCD groups. The clinical success and resolution rates in the EUSD group were 100%, while those in the PCD group were 98.6%. The time from surgery to intervention was significantly longer in the EUSD group than in the PCD group (20 vs. 11 days, p < 0.001). The time from intervention to discharge/resolution was significantly shorter in the EUSD group than in the PCD group (11 vs. 22 days, p < 0.001/10 vs. 20 days, p < 0.001). The time from intervention to stent/tube removal was significantly shorter in the PCD group than in the EUSD group (20.5 vs. 873 days, p < 0.001). Adverse event rates were similar in the two groups (11.8% vs. 5.5%). CONCLUSION A drainage strategy for POPF based on the wall status of collected fluid is appropriate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We examined the efficacy and limitations of acquiring large specimens by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) for diagnosing type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS Patients from 12 institutions with non-neoplastic diseases or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with large EUS-FNB specimens were investigated. Slides stained with hematoxylin-eosin, elastic, IgG4, and IgG stains were evaluated. The IgG4- and IgG-positive cell numbers were counted in three foci. The diagnoses were based on the Japan Pancreas Society 2011 (JPS 2011) criteria and the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria (ICDC). RESULTS We analyzed 85 non-neoplastic (definite type 1 AIP in 73/85 based on the ICDC) cases and 64 PDAC cases. IgG4-positive cells were numerous (>10 in 85.9%), and the IgG4/IgG ratios were high (>40% in 81.2%). Plasma cell crushing by an artifact caused unsuccessful immunostaining, notably in smaller samples. Tissue lengths were an important factor for the presence of storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis, but storiform fibrosis was equivocal even in large tissues. A definite or possible histological diagnosis was achieved in 45.9% (39/85) and 41.2% (35/85), respectively, and contributed to the definite final diagnosis of type 1 AIP in 33.3% (ICDC) and 55.6% (JPS 2011) in cases with segmental/focal lesions. In the PDAC group, >10 IgG4-positive cells was rare (2/58), but elastic stains revealed fibrous venous occlusions in 10.3% (6/58). CONCLUSIONS EUS-FNB with large tissue amounts was useful for diagnosing type 1 AIP, notably by facilitating successful IgG4 immunostaining, but definite diagnosis may not be achieved even in cases with large specimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A family/personal history of breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer is a useful predictive marker for response to platinum-based chemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. These cancers, and prostate cancer, are known as BRCA-related malignancies. We evaluated the efficacy of gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin (GEMOX) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with a family/personal history of these cancers. METHODS Chemotherapy-naïve patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with a family history of pancreatic/breast/ovarian/prostate cancer or a personal history of breast/ovarian/prostate cancer were included. Patients received fixed dose-rate gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2) every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was 1-year survival, and the threshold and expected values were set at 30 and 50%, respectively. The target sample size was determined to be 43, with a one-sided alpha value of 5% and power of 80%. A total of 45 patients were enrolled. RESULTS Among the first 43 enrolled patients, the 1-year survival rate was 27.9% [90% confidence interval (CI) 17.0-41.3], which did not meet the primary endpoint. Median overall survival, progression-free survival, and response rates were 7.6 months (95% CI 6.0-10.7), 4.0 months (95% CI 2.0-4.6), and 26.7% (95% CI 14.6-41.9), respectively, in all registered patients. The GEMOX regimen was generally tolerated; the most common grade three or higher adverse events were hematological toxicities. CONCLUSION GEMOX did not show the expected efficacy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer with a family or personal history of pancreatic/breast/ovarian/prostate cancer. Selection of GEMOX based on family/personal history is not recommended. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000017894.

Abstract
e15529 Background: PDAC and BTC have very poor prognosis with limited treatment options. Blood-based monitoring of ctDNA may have great potential to improve early detection of relapse or failure to chemotherapy and to possibly identify actionable genetic alterations. Methods: We performed targeted sequencing using NGS with Ion S5 Oncomine PanCancer gene panel to investigate mutations in 52 genes in 42 PDAC and 24 BTC patients. Blood samples were obtained from PDAC and BTC cases before the first intervention (baseline) as well as 2-4 weeks later to evaluate cfDNA mutations after surgery or chemotherapy. Actionable alterations with potential therapeutic relevance was defined as those with possible treatments within OncoKB system. We also compared the amount of cfDNA and mutant allele detection rates in pre-, intra- and post-operative samples. Results: Overall detection of ctDNA alterations in baseline samples was 74% (31/42) in PDAC cases. Alterations including SNVs and CNVs were detected among 15 genes; mutations in TP53 (53%), KRAS (41%) and SMAD4 (10%) were most commonly identified. Overall detection rate in BTC patients was 83% (20/24) comprising 9 genes; frequent mutations were observed in TP53 (58%) and KRAS (33%). Decrease in MAF (mutant allele frequency) was observed in 64% (18/28) of PDAC cases after the treatment and that of CA19-9 was observed in 50% (14/28) of the cases. In BTC pts, reduction of MAF was observed in 60% of the cases after surgery. Potentially actionable mutations were observed in 38% of PDAC samples and in 25% of BTC samples. Interestingly, the amounts of cfDNA were 4-fold higher in intraoperative samples compared to pre- and post-operative samples indicating release of cfDNA during surgery, possibly by tissue damage. Conclusions: We have shown the feasibility to assess minimum residual tumor cells or drug response by liquid biopsy in both PDAC and BTC which may improve the clinical management.

Abstract
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as a disease that causes blood flow abnormality due to anastomoses of the arteries and veins. AVM can occur in any gastrointestinal tract, but pancreatic AVM (P-AVM) is very rare. Previous reports demonstrated that contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) typically showed abnormal vascular network in pancreas. We present a 58-year old man with a history of acute pancreatitis. He was referred to our hospital for examination of pancreatic mass. CECT showed a round-shaped hypervascular lesion with a diameter of 8 mm in the head of the pancreas. Selective angiography showed vascular network and early visualization of superior mesenteric vein. We finally diagnosed this case as P-AVM. He underwent duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection. Histological findings confirmed the preoperative diagnosis of P-AVM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Effective multidisciplinary approaches for unresectable pancreatic cancer (UR-PC) that include modern chemotherapeutic regimens and subsequent conversion surgery (CS) are being developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients clinically diagnosed with UR-PC, focusing on the efficacy of CS. METHODS Patients ineligible for two multicenter phase II studies conducted by the Hokkaido Pancreatic Cancer Study Group (HOPS) were recruited. Sequential treatment regimens, conversion to radical surgery, and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)-based UR factors. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of OS. RESULTS Sixty-six of 247 intended recruits for HOPS studies from October 2013 to April 2016 were included. Unresectability was due to locally advanced (LA) disease and metastasis (M) in 42 and 24 patients, respectively. Induction therapy began with chemotherapy (CT) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in 44 and 17 patients, respectively, of whom 23 received modern CT regimens. Radical surgery was completed in 12 (LA, 10; M, two) with a median treatment interval of 10.3 months (range, 2-32). Eleven patients (91.6%) achieved pathological R0 resection. Median OS was significantly longer in patients who underwent CS than those who did not (44.1 vs 14.5 months, P < 0.0001). CS was an independent predictor of OS (hazard ratio, 0.078; 95% confident interval, 0.017-0.348; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Conversion surgery after a favorable response to sequential treatment might prolong survival in patients with UR-PC. Precise diagnosis on MDCT followed by sequential multimodal anticancer treatment is essential.

Bile duct cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy wherein early diagnosis is difficult and few treatment options are available. MicroRNA-31 (miR-31) is reported to be related with survival in patients with gastrointestinal cancers; however, the regulatory mechanism of miR-31 and association between miR-31 expression and survival in patients with bile duct cancer cases have not been established. Thus, we evaluated miR-31 expression in bile duct cancer tissues and assessed its relationship with prognosis. Additionally, we examined the effects of several cytokines on miR-31 expression. The study included 81 samples of bile duct cancer tissues. MiR-31 expression in bile duct cancer cells was significantly higher than that in normal bile duct epithelial cells (P = 0.038). There were no significant associations between miR-31 expression and clinical or pathological characteristics, except for tumour size (P = 0.012). In Kaplan-Meier analysis, high miR-31 expression was significantly associated with shorter survival (log-rank test, P = 0.0082). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, high miR-31 expression was significantly associated with prognosis (P = 0.043), independent of clinical or pathological features. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) significantly promoted miR-31 expression and cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, and the inhibition of STAT-3 signalling significantly suppressed miR-31 expression and cell proliferation. In conclusion, high expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis in bile duct cancer patients. The IL-6-STAT-3 signalling regulated bile duct cancer cell proliferation and miR-31 expression. Our findings suggest that miR-31 may be a promising biomarker that reflects IL-6 expression in bile duct cancer tissues and predicts poor prognosis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by high levels of serum IgG4, swollen organs with fibrosis and abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes. PATIENT CONCERNS An 82-year-old male visited our hospital for an evaluation of a pancreatic enlargement and a bilateral submandibular adenopathy. Further investigation revealed elevation of serum IgG4 and bilateral lacrimal submandibular adenopathy. We diagnosed him with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and started administration of corticosteroid (CS) therapy. Both pancreatic enlargement and adenopathy rapidly improved; however, there was a new occurrence of diffuse wall thickening of the gallbladder during CS treatment. DIAGNOSIS Radiological examination revealed diffuse wall thickening of the gallbladder, and its inner layer was smooth and homogenous. These findings suggested an inflammatory change, but the possibility of malignancy could not be excluded. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a pathological diagnosis. OUTCOMES Histological examination revealed a transmural infiltration of IgG4 positive plasma cells and dense fibrosis. The patient was pathologically diagnosed with IgG4 related cholecystitis presenting as an ectopic relapse. LESSONS There are 2 major types of IgG4-related cholecystitis, a diffuse wall thickening type and a mass formation type. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate IgG4-related cholecystitis with gallbladder cancer.Corticosteroid (CS) is effective for induction of remission; however, we sometimes encounter disease relapse after reduction of CS dose. We should be mindful that some patients may relapse with new organ involvements even if the primary site and serum IgG4 level are well controlled.

Abstract
484 Background: UGT1A1 *28 or *6 polymorphism is associated with reduced enzyme activity and severe toxicity of irinotecan, especially in patients homozygous for UGT1A1*28 or *6 and heterozygous for both UGT1A1*28 and *6 (double-variant-type: DV). FOLFIRINOX (FFX) is one of the standard treatments in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC). In Japanese guideline for FFX in patients with APC, full-dose regimen of FFX is not recommended in patients with DV, but dose adjustment for patients with DV is not established yet. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FFX in Japanese APC patients with DV. Methods: APC patient of DV treated with FFX from December 2013 to March 2016 in 16 hospitals in Japan were enrolled. Results: A total of 31 patients were enrolled. Irinotecan were variously administered at the first cycle of dose ranged from 70 to 180mg/m2. The proportion of the patients receiving standard dose of oxaliplatin, 5-FU infusion and 5-FU continuous infusion at the first cycle of FFX were 97%, 19% and 97%, respectively. Severe adverse events were observed 8 of 31 patients. Main grade 3 or 4 adverse events were included neutropenia (65%), febrile neutropenia (13%) and diarrhea (6%). Response rate (RR) and overall survival (OS) receiving FFX as first-line treatment were 23% and 13.5 months, respectively. In this study, patients receiving irinotecan 150mg/m2 was high frequency of 80% (4/5), otherwise, grade 4 neutropenia in all patients was observed in 29% (9/31) Conclusions: The results of neutropenia in this study indicated that irinotecan 150mg/m2 may not be tolerable in DV patients. RR and OS were almost the same as previous reports. We are planning the dose finding study of FFX in APC patients with DV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sorafenib is an agent that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor and is associated with onset or worsening of hypertension in some patients. We conducted a retrospective analysis of whether the development of hypertension during sorafenib treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma could be a predictor of anti-cancer efficacy. METHODS The study included 38 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who had received sorafenib for at least 1 month between January 2010 and December 2012. A retrospective analysis of the efficacy of sorafenib was conducted by dividing the patients into two groups-a hypertension group, presenting with grade 2 or higher hypertension according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCTE) version 4.0; and a non-hypertension group, which included all other patients. This study evaluated the occurrence of hypertension within 2 weeks of initiation of therapy in order to avoid any treatment duration bias. Images were evaluated using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. The response rate, time to progression, and overall survival were assessed. RESULTS Twenty-two patients (58 %) developed grade 2 or higher hypertension within 2 weeks of initiation of therapy. The response rate was significantly higher in the hypertension group. Median time to progression was 153 days in the hypertension group versus 50.5 days in the non-hypertension group, which was significantly longer in the hypertension group. Moreover, median overall survival was 1,329 days in the hypertension group versus 302 days in the non-hypertension group, which was significantly longer in the hypertension group. CONCLUSIONS Hypertension within 2 weeks of initiation of therapy may be a predictor of the anti-cancer efficacy of sorafenib when used for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
The serum cholinesterase (ChE) isoenzyme in rats shows 6 bands after polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. The effects of organophosphates (fenthion, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, bromophos, propaphos, haloxon, and DFP) on serum ChE isoenzyme bands were studied in 32 male and 32 female 6-w-old Sprague-Dawley rats. Each organophosphate was randomly administered to 4 male and 4 female rats. Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta under halothane anesthesia 6 h after dosing. The isoenzyme patterns were determined simultaneously with erythrocyte and serum ChE activities. Changes were observed in all 6 bands of the serum ChE isoenzymes after administration of fenthion, chlorpyrifos and propaphos. Diazinon had no influence on band 6, and DFP and bromophos had no influence on band 5. Haloxon did not effect any of the serum ChE isoenzyme bands. Serum ChE was most suppressed by fenthion, followed by DFP, bromophos, chlorpyrifos, propaphos and diazinon in that order of effect. Serum ChE activity was not suppressed by haloxon. Erythrocyte ChE activity was suppressed by every organophosphate. This experiment demonstrated a correlation between the organophosphate suppression of serum ChE activity and the concentration of serum ChE isoenzyme band 6.

Abstract
Glycoconjugates in the epithelial cells of the efferent ductules in the dog were investigated using lectin histochemistry. These ductules connect the extratesticular rete with the epididymis. The epithelium of the ductules consisted both of ciliated and nonciliated cells. Whereas the apical zone of ciliated cells showed selective binding with WGA, SWGA, SNA, MAA and neuraminidase-PNA, that of nonciliated cells bound to all lectins used in the present study: WGA, SWGA, SNA, MAA, PNA, neuraminidase-PNA, RCA1, DBA and SBA. The nonciliated cells were divided into 3 types: type A cells which lacked both specific granules and vacuoles, type B cells which were characterised by a few specific apical vacuoles and many large specific granules, and type C cells which were characterised by some specific apical vacuoles and small basal granules. The specific granules and vacuoles of type B cells showed binding with WGA, SWGA and MAA. The specific granules of type C cells showed binding with WGA, SWGA, SNA, MAA, PNA and neuraminidase-PNA, while their specific vacuoles showed binding with WGA, SWGA, SNA and MAA. The Golgi zone both of ciliated and type A cells did not bind with any lectins used in this study, while type B and C cells showed similar lectin binding patterns between the Golgi zone and their specific granules. Specific lectin binding patterns revealed a different carbohydrate composition of each type of cell, indicating a biological difference between the ciliated cells and the 3 types of nonciliated cells in dog efferent ductules.

Abstract
Pregnant rats on day 21 of gestation received a subcutaneous injection of paraquat (25 mg/kg). Two hr later, some fetuses of these rats received a subcutaneous injection of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The caliber of the ductus arteriosus (DA) of fetuses was measured 1 hr later. The DA of fetuses of paraquat-treated pregnant rats was significantly constricted compared with that of fetuses of control pregnant rats given physiological saline. However, the DA of PGE2-treated fetuses of paraquat-treated pregnant rats had a caliber comparable to that of control rats. The maternal plasma PGE2 level decreased following paraquat treatment. These results suggest that the decrease of maternal PGE2 level results in a constriction of the DA of fetuses.

Abstract
A form of cytochrome P-450, P-450-D3, cross reactive with antibodies to rat P-450d was purified from liver microsomes of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-treated female Beagle dogs to an electrophoretic homogeneity. Judging from the result of sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the molecular weight of P-450-D3 was estimated to be 54,000. The oxidized form of P-450-D3 showed a peak at 416 nm indicating that the cytochrome is mostly in a low spin state. The carbon monoxide bound reduced form of P-450-D3 showed a peak at 448 nm. In a reconstituted system, P-450-D3 catalyzed drug oxidations including benzphetamine and aminopyrine N-demethylations, 7-ethoxycoumarin and p-propoxyaniline O-dealkylations, and aniline and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylations. The rate of aniline hydroxylation catalyzed by P-450-D3 was similar to that catalyzed by P-450c which is a low spin form of cytochrome P-450 purified from liver microsomes of PCB-treated rats, whereas the catalytic activities of P-450-D3 for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation and benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylation were considerably lower than those of P-450c. The amino terminal portion of P-450-D3 was found to be highly similar to those of P-450d, human P3-450 and P3-450 when four amino acid deletions were tentatively inserted between fifth and sixth amino acids from the N-terminal, but not that of P-450c which is a low spin form of cytochrome P-448 purified from rat liver microsomes. These results indicate that Beagle dogs possess a low spin form of cytochrome P-450 with spectral properties similar to P-450c but with catalytic and structural properties similar to P-450d.

Abstract
Male Fisher rats were fed a diet ad lib. containing eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) to observe its effects on liver drug-detoxifying enzymes such as UDP-glucuronyltransferase (GT), UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (DH) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Liver weights were not affected significantly by a diet containing 3% eugenol (w/w) for 13 weeks. The activities of GT of liver microsomes toward various xenobiotic substances such as 4-nitrophenol, 1-naphthol, 4-hydroxybiphenyl and 4-methylumbelliferone were enhanced by dietary administration of eugenol, but the activity of GT toward its endogenous substrate, bilirubin, was not changed. Dose-response relationships between the enhancement of GT activities toward these xenobiotics and the dose of eugenol were observed. The induced higher activities of GT toward these xenobiotics were maintained during 13 weeks of eugenol treatment. Similar results on DH and GST activities in the liver cytosol were obtained by dietary administration of eugenol, while no effect on cytochrome P-450 content in the liver microsomes from the rats fed the eugenol diet was observed during 13 weeks. These results suggest that the intracellular content of the active intermediates of various drugs or carcinogens would be reduced by this specific enhancement of drug-detoxifying enzymes in the liver of rats given a diet containing eugenol, as previously described for a diet containing 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) [Y-N. Cha and H. S. Heine, Cancer Res. 42, 2609 (1982)].
