Abstract
A 59-year-old man underwent submandibular gland excision for salivary duct carcinoma (SDC). One year later, esophagogastroduodenoscopy indicated gastric diffuse mucosal thickening with luminal contraction, mimicking scirrhous gastric carcinoma. Biopsy specimens showed dense proliferation of neoplastic cells expressing androgen receptor and human epidermal growth factor 2, indicating SDC. Gastric diffuse infiltrative metastasis is generally characteristic of gastric metastasis from invasive ductal carcinoma, which shows histologic features similar to SDC. This is the first known report of gastric diffusely infiltrating metastasis in an SDC patient. Rapidly progressing, diffuse gastric wall thickening should also be considered indicative of salivary tumor-associated gastric metastasis.

Abstract
Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a promising biomarker for diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease. An enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is widely used for FC detection, though the considerable lag time, up to several days, causes clinical management delay. This study was performed to examine the new rapid kit fCAL-turbo, which is based on a particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay (15 min), by comparing FC values with other EIAs (EliA, PhiCal, Bühlmann) and endoscopic scores. Using 94 samples, fCAL-turbo showed strong significant positive correlations with the other kits (Spearman's r = 0.9178-0.9886). Of 74 UC patients, 69 underwent an endoscopy and fCAL-turbo reflected endoscopic activity with a moderate correlation with Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) (r = 0.6945, others r = 0.6682-0.7013). Receiver operating characteristic analyses based on MES 0 versus 1-3 showed a similar efficacy as compared to the other kits (cut-off and area under the curve: 89.70 µg/g and 0.8592, respectively, others 62.35-138.4 µg/g and 0.8280-0.8611, respectively). Furthermore, multiple regression analysis confirmed that fCAL-turbo results significantly contributed to prediction of MES 0 with a higher t-value as compared to the other biomarkers. fCAL-turbo showed strong correlations with the other kits and also demonstrated excellent performance for predicting endoscopic remission of UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of gastric neoplasms in Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-naïve patients has recently increased due to a remarkable decrease in the Hp-infected population in Japan. We investigated the clinicopathologic differences between Hp-infected gastric neoplasms (HpIGNs) and Hp-naïve gastric neoplasms (HpNGNs) that have not been fully elucidated so far. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study investigated 966 consecutive patients with 1131 gastric dysplasia or cancers who underwent endoscopic or surgical treatment for the recent decade. Clinicopathologic features were compared between HpIGN and HpNGN cases. RESULTS One thousand and sixty-eight HpIGNs in 916 patients included 877 differentiated types and 191 undifferentiated types. Sixty-three HpNGNs in 50 patients included 57 differentiated types (35 foveolar types, 15 intestinal types, 6 fundic-gland types, and 1 other differentiated type) and 6 undifferentiated types. HpNGNs occurred in younger (59.5 vs. 71.8 years, p < 0.05) and female patients (40.0% vs. 26.5%, p < 0.05), were found more frequently in the proximal compartment (p < 0.05), and had smaller size (median 4.0 vs. 20.0 mm, p < 0.05). Histologically, HpNGNs and HpIGNs both primarily consisted of differentiated type (90.5% vs. 82.1%, p = 0.089) and HpNGNs showed lower prevalence of invasive cancer (11.1% vs. 37.6%, p < 0.05) and lymphovascular invasion (1.6% vs. 31.6%, p < 0.05). Nearly all HpNGNs (62/63, 98.4%) were diagnosed in early pathological stage, while 16.1% (172/1068) of HpIGNs were diagnosed in advanced stage (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS HpNGNs is recently on the increase but shows lower malignant nature regardless of histologic type than HpIGN. Endoscopic gastric cancer screening will be reviewed via cost effectiveness for Hp-naïve individuals in future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for extensive esophageal cancer is sometimes associated with post-ESD stenosis, despite preventative steroid therapy. In this retrospective multicenter analysis, we evaluated the factors associated with therapy resistance. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 73 patients with 75 extensive esophageal cancers treated with ESD. Stenosis prevention was performed using two esophageal triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-fillings, and repeated if stenosis was found on follow-up. Therapy-resistance factors associated with incidence of severe stenosis requiring endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) were evaluated, including age, gender, previous treatment history, tumor location, morphology, resection size, histologic type, invasion depth, and horizontal resection grade (HR-grade 1, ≥ 9/12 and <10/12 of the circumference; grade 2, ≥ 10/12 and <11/12; grade 3, ≥ 11/12 but not circumferential; and grade 4, entirely circumferential). RESULTS Severe stenosis occurred in 17.3%(13/75) of cases, with a median of two EBDs (range, 1-6 times). Severe stenosis was significantly associated with HR-grade elevation and previous treatment history (p < .05); multivariate analysis showed both as independent therapy-resistance factors (p < .05). Patients without previous treatment history demonstrated severe stenosis at 12.9%(9/70): 0%(0/26) HR-grade 1, 18.8%(3/16) grade 2, 17.6%(3/17) grade 3, and 27.3%(3/11) grade 4, showing a risk of HR-grade 2 or more resection but an acceptable stenosis prevention even after entirely circumferential resection. Conversely, patients with previous treatment history demonstrated severe stenosis at a high frequency of 80%(4/5). CONCLUSIONS Esophageal TA-filling is a promising stenosis-preventive steroid therapy, even in entirely circumferential ESD cases. However, HR-grade 2 or more elevation and previous treatment history were independently associated with therapy resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Unsedated transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is affected by a poor scope lens-cleaning function. We have previously reported good, albeit limited, effects of an oolong tea washing solution; here, we evaluated the effectiveness of a 5% lens cleaning solution for cleaning an EGD lens. METHODS Five percent lens cleaning solution (C), 5% dimethicone solution (D), and distilled water (W) were prepared. Study I: Lenses were soiled with pork grease, washed with each washing solution, and their image quality was judged. Study II: Patients (n=996) scheduled for transnasal EGD were randomly assigned to the C- or W-group. Lens cleanliness level, washing solution volume used, and endoscopist stress due to lens contamination were determined. RESULTS Study I: The image quality of the lenses washed with (C) was significantly superior. (D) was clinically unsuitable because of spray nozzle clogging. Study II: Lens cleaning in the C-group was significantly superior (p<0.0001) and the solution volume required was significantly reduced (p<0.0001), while endoscopist stress was also lower (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION For transnasal small-caliber EGD, the present 5% lens cleaning solution provided good visibility. It features a high detergency level and is simple to formulate for therapeutic endoscopy applications, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Abstract
High rates of co-existing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and headache have been reported in western countries. We investigated that comorbidity in individuals in Japan, along with anxiety and depression in subjects with and without IBS symptoms and/or headache.This cross-sectional study was performed from April 2012 to January 2013 at the Matsue Seikyo General Hospital Health Check Center. Questionnaires concerning symptoms related to IBS (Rome III) and headache, as well as anxiety/depression score were sent to individuals scheduled to undergo an annual health check-up, then returned during the visit and analyzed in a blinded manner.A total of 2885 individuals returned completed questionnaires and were enrolled, of whom 218 (7.6%) met the IBS criteria. The rates of co-existing headache in subjects with and without IBS symptoms were 44.0% (96/218) and 22.9% (611/2667), respectively, indicating a significantly higher rate of co-existing headache in subjects with as compared to without IBS (odds ratio [OR] 2.65, P < .001). Furthermore, the percentage of subjects with anxiety along with comorbid IBS symptoms and headache was significantly greater as compared to those with IBS (OR 3.01, P = .001) or headache (OR 2.41, P < .001) alone. Unlike anxiety, the percentage of subjects with depression was not significantly different among the IBS/non-headache, non-IBS/headache, and IBS/headache groups.Subjects with IBS symptoms had a higher rate of co-existing headache as compared to those without IBS. Furthermore, those with comorbid IBS symptoms and headache had a greater association with anxiety than with depression, as compared to those with only IBS or headache.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The most common adverse event following an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure is post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Rectal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) administration has shown promise to reduce the risk of PEP in high-risk patients. However, in contrast to high-risk patients, the role of NSAID administration in patients with low risk remains controversial. METHODS We performed a prospective, single-center, single-blinded, two-arm parallel group, randomized controlled trial to clarify the efficacy of low dose (50 mg) rectal NSAID administration for preventing PEP in at-risk patients. Patients scheduled to undergo ERCP were randomized into two groups, those with and without rectal administration of diclofenac. Patients in the diclofenac group received 50 mg of rectal diclofenac 30 min before undergoing ERCP. The primary endpoint was rate of PEP. RESULTS A total of 303 were randomized into the study groups. Four patients declined participation following randomization, and another two were withdrawn. As a result, a total of 147 patients were assigned to the diclofenac group and 150 to the control group. The baseline and procedural characteristics were similar in both groups. The primary endpoint of PEP occurrence was seen in 13 of 297 patients (4.4%), including eight (5.4%) in the diclofenac group and five (3.3%) in the control group (P = 0.286). Additionally, those results were not significantly different when patients were classified as low or high risk. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic low-dose rectal diclofenac did not reduce the incidence of PEP following ERCP in patients classified as low or high risk.

Abstract
Objective: Quiescent ulcerative colitis (UC) patients often have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms and we recently showed that the prevalence of IBS-like symptoms in UC patients in clinical remission was significantly higher as compared to healthy control subjects. However, the prevalence of functional dyspepsia (FD)-like symptoms in quiescent UC patients remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of FD-like symptoms and the overlap with IBS-like symptoms in such patients.Materials and Methods: We reanalyzed the records of UC patients in remission using the subject cohort from our previous study. Clinical remission was defined as a clinical activity index (CAI) value ≤4 for at least 6 months. Diagnoses of FD- and IBS-like symptoms were evaluated by questionnaire according to the Rome III criteria.Results: One hundred seventy-two UC patients in clinical remission and 330 healthy control subjects were analyzed. Of the 172 patients, 9 (5.2%) met the criteria of FD, which was comparable with the controls (22/330, 6.7%). The prevalence rate of FD-like symptoms in UC patients with IBS-like symptoms (7/46, 15.2%) was lower as compared to that of the control subjects (6/16, 37.5%). On the other hand, a high percentage of the UC patients with FD-like symptoms also had IBS-like symptoms (7/9, 77.8%).Conclusions: Although the prevalence of FD-like symptoms in quiescent UC patients with IBS-like symptoms was low, UC patients with FD-like symptoms frequently had IBS-like symptoms.

Abstract
Background There have been very few studies on the association of polypharmacy with clinical course. In this paper, we seek to evaluate the relationship between polypharmacy and hospitalization period. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 322 patients hospitalized from February to September 2017, after excluding short-term and orthopedic cases. Patients with polypharmacy were defined as those who were prescribed more than five drugs at the time of admission. The primary endpoint for all subjects regardless of polypharmacy was the hospitalization period. Using Mann-Whitney U test results, we compared the average number of hospital days between patients with and without polypharmacy. Secondary endpoints were hospitalization period with and without polypharmacy for each disease type. Results The hospitalization period was significantly extended for patients with polypharmacy as compared to those without (31.6 vs. 23.2 days, p: 0.002). Those with an infection had significantly longer hospitalization than those without polypharmacy (27.6 vs. 18.1 days, p: 0.007). Malignancy, heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease did not have a significant effect on hospitalization regardless of polypharmacy. Conclusion Polypharmacy is related to an extended hospitalization period and is found to occur more frequently in patients hospitalized for an infection.

Abstract
A 70-year-old woman with loss of appetite was referred to our hospital for further examinations. Computed tomography revealed a low density tumor in the body of the pancreas measuring 4 cm in diameter. The main pancreatic duct was dilated on both the head and caudal side of the tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the mass as a low intensity area in T1-weighted and high intensity area in T2-weighted images. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography findings indicated that the main pancreatic duct was continuous with the lumen of the tumor. A cytological examination of pancreatic juice showed a class IV tumor. A distal pancreatectomy was performed as a curative resection procedure. The findings of hematoxylin eosin staining and mucus trait led to a diagnosis of invasive cancer derived from an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). We also performed sequencing analysis to investigate GNAS and K-RAS mutations in the tumor, though neither the GNAS mutation c602G>A nor K-RAS mutation c35G>A were observed. Cases negative for a GNAS mutation can be considered to have an increased risk of invasive cancer derived from an IPMN.

Abstract
Objective We evaluated the efficacy of vonoprazan-based eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), including the effects of age, gender, and grade of atrophy in comparison to proton pump inhibitor-based therapy. Method We retrospectively reviewed the records of 1,172 patients who received first-line triple therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and vonoprazan or a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for H. pylori eradication, as well as 157 patients treated with second-line therapy consisting of amoxicillin, metronidazole, and vonoprazan or a PPI. Results The eradication rate of all cases treated with first-line triple therapy was 86.9% (1,019/1,172), while that in those treated with vonoprazan-based therapy was 92.5% (384/415). Our analysis showed that the use of vonoprazan resulted in a significantly improved success rate of first-line eradication therapy in comparison to proton pump inhibitor-based therapy [odds ratio (OR), 2.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.55 to 3.56]. The superiority of vonoprazan was remarkable in non-elderly patients, while its effect was unclear in elderly patients. When used as second-line eradication therapy, the advantage of vonoprazan over PPI administration was not clear. Conclusion The inclusion of vonoprazan increased the success rate of first-line eradication therapy; however, the advantage was reduced with aging and remained unclear in elderly patients.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in clinical remission often experience irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms. The prevalence rate of UC patients meeting the definition of IBS, such as shown by the Rome criteria, is significantly higher in those without ongoing clinical activity as compared to healthy controls. Several studies have investigated residual low-grade inflammation found in colonic mucosa of quiescent UC patients and its association with development of IBS-like symptoms. In these patients, residual colonic inflammation was evaluated using endoscopy and histology findings, as well as fecal calprotectin level and shown to not be simply associated with the presence of IBS-like symptoms in UC patients in clinical remission. However, these results are limited by the low number of related investigations conducted. Additional appropriately designed studies are necessary to confirm the relationship of low-grade colonic inflammation with IBS-like symptoms associated with UC.

Abstract
Fecal calprotectin level in ulcerative colitis patients is correlated with endoscopic findings. However, its association with various ulcerative colitis disease types has not been elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the correlation of fecal calprotectin level with endoscopic findings as compared to blood biomarkers according to ulcerative colitis disease type. Fecal calprotectin as well as the blood biomarkers: C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hemoglobin, platelet count (PLT), and serum albumin (Alb) were measured in patients who underwent a complete colonoscopy. Disease type was divided into proctitis, left-sided colitis, and extensive colitis. Correlations of fecal calprotectin and blood biomarker levels with Mayo endoscopic subscore were analyzed. A total of 186 colonoscopy examinations were performed in 124 patients with ulcerative colitis. Fecal calprotectin level showed a significant correlation with Mayo endoscopic subscore regardless of disease type (proctitis, r = 0.54, p<0.01; left-sided colitis, r = 0.75, p<0.01; extensive colitis, r = 0.78, p<0.01), and clearly discriminated inactive (Mayo endoscopic subscore 0) from active stages (Mayo endoscopic subscore 1–3). On the other hand, none of the examined blood biomarkers showed a correlation with Mayo endoscopic subscore in the proctitis group, while weak correlations of several biomarkers (CRP, WBC, ESR, PLT and Alb) with Mayo endoscopic subscore were found in left-sided colitis and extensive colitis cases. This is the first report to elucidate the capabilities of fecal calprotectin and blood biomarkers as endoscopic surrogate markers according to ulcerative colitis disease type.

Abstract
Aim: Few reports of the prophylactic use of soft coagulation with hemostatic forceps for postendoscopic papillectomy hemorrhage (PEPH) have been presented. The aim of this study was to clarify the utility of that procedure for prophylaxis. Materials and Methods: From April 2009 to March 2012, PEPH was treated in four patients after the development of the condition with a conventional procedure at our institution. Thereafter, from April 2012 to March 2016, soft coagulation using hemostatic forceps was performed as prophylactic hemostasis following an EP in five patients. For the latter procedure, the hemostatic forceps device (FD411‑QR, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) was used in a closed position, with the coagulation wave set at 60 W (VIO 300D; ERBE, Tubingen, Germany). The primary outcome was the onset of PEPH, which was defined as a decrease in hemoglobin ≥2 g/dL after EP. Secondary endpoints were the success rate and the incidence of adverse events of soft coagulation using hemostatic forceps for emergency bleeding cases after EP. Results: The incidence of PEPH was 20% (1 of 5 cases) in the prophylactic procedure group, which was lower than that in the conventional procedures group (75%, 3 of 4 cases), though the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.206, Fisher’s exact test). All cases of PEPH were successfully treated by soft coagulation using hemostatic forceps. Conclusion: Soft coagulation with hemostatic forceps may be suitable for use as a routine technique following EP to prevent PEPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucosal healing (MH) has been proposed as an essential therapeutic goal for treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The utility of serum amyloid A (SAA) for prediction of MH in CD patients is lacking. AIMS This study was conducted to evaluate the correlation of SAA with CD-related endoscopic disease activity. METHODS SAA levels in serum samples obtained from CD patients as well as endoscopic findings based on a simple endoscopic score for CD (SES-CD) were assessed in relation to CD activity index (CDAI). The diagnostic ability of MH in correlation with SAA level was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Fifty-five patients with CD were enrolled. Mean SAA level was significantly higher in clinical and endoscopic active phases as compared to an inactive phase. SAA level was also significantly correlated with SES-CD (r = 0.64, p < 0.01) and CDAI (r = 0.42, p < 0.01). The area under the ROC curve for SAA level was 0.77 and the optimal cut-off value for SAA to predict MH was 5.9 μg/dl. SAA level was shown to be associated with MH, with a sensitivity of 68% and specificity of 83%. CONCLUSIONS SAA may be a possible biomarker for evaluating MH in CD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for extensive esophageal carcinomas may cause severe stenosis requiring endoscopic balloon dilations (EBDs). A standard prevention method has not been established. We propose the esophageal triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-filling method as a novel local steroid administration procedure. METHODS We enrolled 22 consecutive patients with early esophageal cancer who were treated using either subcircumferential or circumferential ESD (15 and 7 procedures, respectively) in this case series. Esophageal TA filling was performed on the day after ESD and 1 week later and was performed again if mild stenosis was found on follow-up. EBD with TA filling was performed only for severe stenosis that prevented endoscope passage. The primary endpoint was the incidence of severe stenosis. Secondary endpoints were the total number of EBDs and additional TA filling, dysphagia score, time to stenosis and to complete re-epithelialization, and any adverse events. RESULTS The incidence of severe stenosis was 4.5% (1/22; confidence interval, .1%-22.8%), and EBD was performed 2 times in 1 patient. Mild stenosis was found in 9 patients. Additional TA filling was performed in 45.5% of patients (10/22; median, 5 times; range, 1-13). The dysphagia score deteriorated to 1 to 2 in 31.8% (7/22) but showed a final score of 0 after complete re-epithelialization in 90.9% (20/22). The median time to stenosis was 3 weeks (range, 3-4) and that to complete re-epithelialization was 7 weeks (range, 4-36). No severe adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS The esophageal TA-filling method is highly effective for preventing severe stenosis after extensive esophageal ESD.

Abstract
Background and study aims Recurrence of common bile duct stones (CBDS) in patients treated with endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) can lead to deterioration in their quality of life. Although the pathology and related factors are unclear, we speculated that proton pump inhibiter (PPI) administration increases the risk of CBDS recurrence by altering the bacterial mixture in the bile duct. Patients and methods The primary endpoint of this retrospective study was recurrence-free period. Several independent variables considered to have a relationship with CBDS recurrence including PPI use were analyzed using a COX proportional hazard model, with potential risk factors then evaluated by propensity score matching analysis. Results A total of 219 patients were analyzed, with CBDS recurrence found in 44. Analysis of variables using a COX proportional hazard model demonstrated that use of PPIs and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), as well as the presence of periampullary diverticula (PD) each had a hazard ratio (HR) value greater than 1 (HR 2.2, P = 0.007; HR 2.0, P = 0.02; HR 1.9, P = 0.07; respectively). Furthermore, propensity score matching analysis revealed that the mean recurrence-free period in the oral PPI cohort was significantly shorter as compared with the non-PPI cohort (1613 vs. 2587 days, P = 0.014). In contrast, neither UDCA administration nor PD presence was found to be a significant factor in that analysis (1557 vs. 1654 days, P = 0.508; 1169 vs. 2011 days, P = 0.121; respectively). Conclusion Our results showed that oral PPI administration is a risk factor for CBDS recurrence in patients who undergo ES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT) terminates serotonin activity by removing it from interstitial space. Downregulated colonic SERT expression has been reported in irritable bowel disease (IBS), and symptoms resembling IBS occur in cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission; thus, a common pathogenesis for IBS and IBD is possible. However, little is known regarding SERT expression in colonic mucosa of IBD patients during healing. METHODS Twenty-two ulcerative colitis (UC) patients underwent colonoscopy examinations, during which inflamed mucosa was distinguished from that undergoing healing. Healing mucosa was classified into regular and irregular vessel patterns by narrowband imaging magnifying colonoscopy. Expressions of SERT and various inflammation-related genes in biopsy samples were assessed using a polymerase chain reaction array system and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Colitis model mice were established by administration of dextran sodium sulfate or transfer of CD4(+) T cells isolated from SAMP1 mice, then time-course changes of SERT and inflammatory gene expressions were observed in colonic mucosa. RESULTS In UC patients, SERT expression in inflamed mucosa was significantly lower than in healing mucosa. SERT expression was decreased in healing mucosa with an irregular vessel pattern with mildly increased levels of inflammatory gene expression. In mice, SERT expression was suppressed in inflamed mucosa and continuously observed with low-grade mucosal inflammation during colitis healing. CONCLUSIONS Sserotonin reuptake transporter expression is downregulated in healing colonic mucosa of UC patients and that suppression may be dependent on the presence of remaining low-grade colonic inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several studies report on the outcomes of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) deployment for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). However, data was mostly based on the analysis of single-center studies including only a small number of patients. This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes after the deployment of SEMS in patients with malignant GOO and to compare the clinical outcomes of two metallic stents with different designs. METHODS Altogether 125 consecutive patients from five institutions were included. Clinical outcomes were evaluated according to technical success, clinical success, stent patency period, survival period and complications. A comparison of clinical outcomes between Niti-S pyloric/duodenal and WallFlex duodenal stents was also undertaken. RESULTS Rates for clinical and technical success were 100% and 92.0%, respectively. The median stent patency and survival periods were 72.0 days (range 3-775 days) and 75.0 days (range 3-775 days), respectively. The rate of overall adverse events was 28.8%. The rate of stent dysfunction was 16.8%, and that of adverse events, except stent dysfunction was 12.0%. Massive bleeding occurred in two patients as a late complication. The clinical success rate for Niti-S stent was significantly higher than that for WallFlex stent (96.2% vs 84.8%, P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS We successfully deployed a SEMS in malignant GOO. The selection of a SEMS with a lower axial force may be important for patients to resume the oral food intake. Additionally, consideration must be given to the appropriate management of fatal bleeding as a late complication.

Abstract
We examined the results of computed tomography (CT) with and without air insufflation of the stomach prior to performing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). We retrospectively analyzed 366 patients who underwent PEG. CT images obtained with and without air insufflation were examined for the presence or absence of contact between the gastric anterior wall and abdominal wall. PEG outcome based on CT findings was also examined. CT with and without air insufflation was performed in 272 and 94 patients, respectively. Contact between the gastric anterior wall and abdominal wall was shown in 254 (93.4%) with and 45 (47.9%) without air insufflation, all of whom underwent a successful PEG procedure. In patients without contact between the gastric anterior wall and abdominal wall, PEG was not successful in 3 of 49 (6.1%) examined by CT without and 6 of 18 (33.3%) examined with air insufflation (p = 0.004). Values for diagnostic accuracy for contact between the gastric anterior wall and abdominal wall shown by CT with and without air insufflation in successful PEG cases were 0.96 and 0.51, respectively. In conclusion, CT with air insufflation more often revealed contact between the gastric anterior wall and abdominal wall as compared to CT without air insufflation, which may help to predict PEG procedure success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between fecal calprotectin (FC) and disease extent in ulcerative colitis (UC) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to clarify the correlation of FC with disease extent and severity in UC patients. METHODS UC patients scheduled to undergo an ileocolonoscopy were enrolled and fecal samples for FC measurement were collected prior to the procedure. A Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) was determined for each of 5 colonic segments. To evaluate the association of FC with extent of affected mucosa as well as disease severity, we assessed the correlation of FC level with the sum of MES (S-MES) for the 5 colonic segments as compared to the maximum score of MES (M-MES). RESULTS FC measurements in conjunction with findings from 136 complete colonoscopies in 102 UC patients were evaluated. FC level showed a stronger correlation with S-MES (correlation coefficient r = 0.86, p < 0.001) as compared to M-MES (r = 0.79, p < 0.001). In patients with an M-MES of 1, 2, and 3, FC level showed a significant correlation with S-MES (r = 0.67, p < 0.001; r = 0.70, p < 0.001; r = 0.47, p = 0.04, respectively). Our findings indicate that FC level is elevated in patients with greater areas of affected mucosa even in those with the same M-MES value. CONCLUSIONS FC level was shown to be correlated with the extent of affected mucosa as well as severity in UC patients, thus it is useful for precise assessment of mucosal inflammation.

Methods We examined the distribution of CD5+ B cells in various mouse organs. Expression levels of CD11b, IgM, and toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and -9 in B cells were evaluated. In vitro, TLR-stimulated IL-10 production by colonic lamina propria (LP) CD5+ and CD5- B cells was measured. In vivo, mice with acute or chronic dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colonic injury were examined, and the frequency of colonic LP CD5+ B cells in those was assessed by flow cytometry. Results The expression level of TLR9 was higher in colonic LP CD5+ B cells as compared to CD5- B cells. Colonic LP CD5+ B cells produced greater amounts of IL-10 following stimulation with TLR ligands, especially TLR9, as compared with the LP CD5- B cells. Acute intestinal inflammation transiently decreased the frequency of colonic LP CD5+ B cells, while chronic inflammation induced a persistent decrease in colonic LP CD5+ B cells and led to a CD5- B cell-dominant condition. Conclusion A persistent altered mucosal B cell population caused by chronic gut inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract
A 60-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal pain and jaundice. Computed tomography showed a 9-cm mass that was penetrated by the common hepatic artery in the pancreatic head area. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography revealed no stenosis or obstruction of the main pancreatic duct, and a cytologic examination of the patient's pancreatic juice was negative. Next, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was performed. The immunohistological findings of the specimen revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The size of the tumor was significantly reduced after 8 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) promotes phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells to maintain normal tissue homeostasis. However, its functions in intestinal inflammation and carcinogenesis are unknown. METHODS Experimental colitis was induced in MFG-E8 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) administration. Colon tissues were used for assessments of colitis activity and epithelial proliferation. A mouse colitis-associated cancer (CAC) model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane (AOM) and then the animals were given a single administration of DSS. A sporadic colon cancer model was established by repeated intraperitoneal injections of AOM. The role of MFG-E8 in epithelial proliferation with or without treatment of siRNA targeting α(v)-integrin was examined in vitro using a WST-1 assay. RESULTS The severity of colitis in KO mice was greater than that in WT mice, while the proliferative potential of colonic epithelial cells in KO mice was lower during the regenerative phase. In both CAC and sporadic models, tumor size in KO was lower as compared to WT mice, while decreased tumor incidence was only found in the CAC model. In vitro findings showed that MFG-E8 promotes epithelial cell proliferation, and treatment with a siRNA targeting α(v)-integrin reduced the proliferation of Colon-26 cells stimulated with recombinant MFG-E8. CONCLUSIONS MFG-E8 promotes tumor growth regardless of the presence or absence of colonic inflammation, whereas colon tumor development is initiated by MFG-E8 under inflammatory conditions. These MFG-E8 functions may be dependent on integrin-mediated cellular signaling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms are often found in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in remission. However, the prevalence of those symptoms in UC patients with endoscopic evidence of remission shown by mucosal healing remains unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS IBS diagnosis was evaluated by questionnaire results according to the Rome III criteria. Clinical remission was assessed by clinical activity index (CAI), whereas endoscopic remission was evaluated by endoscopic index (Matts grade). RESULTS We enrolled 172 patients in clinical remission (CAI ≤ 4), after excluding 36 for incomplete questionnaire results or nonremission findings, as well as 330 control subjects. Of the 172 UC patients, 46 (26.7%) met the Rome III criteria, which was a significantly higher rate as compared with the controls (4.8%). The prevalence rate of IBS-like symptoms in UC patients with endoscopic remission findings (Matts grade ≤2) was 25.6%, which was similar to that of those with clinical remission. When endoscopic remission was defined as Matts grade 1, the prevalence rate of IBS-like symptoms was decreased to 15.4%, although the prevalence rate remained higher than that of the control subjects. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of IBS-like symptoms in UC patients with clinical and endoscopic remission findings was significantly higher than that of control subjects. Furthermore, the prevalence rate in patients with complete endoscopic remission was decreased. These findings suggest that residual low-grade inflammation may influence the presence of IBS-like symptoms in UC patients in remission.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence regarding the role of immune activation in the etiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which has been mainly been shown in studies investigating mechanisms of postinfectious IBS (PI-IBS). Exposure to intestinal infection induces persistent low-grade systemic and mucosal inflammation, which is characterized by an altered population of circulating cells, mucosal infiltration of immune cells and increased production of various cytokines in IBS patients. Recent studies have also indicated an increased innate immune response in these patients by evaluating expression and activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). These findings suggest that immune activation may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of IBS. In addition, psychological stress has been reported to be one of the factors that induces immune activation. However, it remains unknown whether immune activation in IBS patients is largely dependent on infectious gastroenteritis and/or psychological stress. Additional studies are necessary to understand the precise mechanism of immune activation and its relationship to the development of IBS.

Abstract
A flat, elevated lesion measuring 5 mm in diameter was found in the gastric body of an 80-year-old man. A biopsy showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass located in the submucosa. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was subsequently performed, and a pathological examination revealed a tumor composed of adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma with submucosal infiltration. The pathological diagnosis was gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC). An additional gastrectomy procedure was performed, and no recurrence was noted for at least three years. This case is interesting with respect to the carcinogenesis of endocrine cell carcinoma and MANEC.

Abstract
Systemic AA amyloidosis is a complication of various inflammatory diseases including Crohn's disease (CD). Amyloid nephropathy is the most common clinical presentation of AA amyloidosis leading to renal failure, and affected patients often require hemodialysis and ultimately renal transplantation. We herein report the successful use of infliximab as maintenance therapy for amyloid nephropathy in a patient with CD. In the present patient, surgical treatment and infliximab infusion immediately induced a remission of CD, and scheduled infliximab therapy successfully maintained the patient's stable condition for three years, with a significant decrease in the serum creatinine level.

Abstract
We herein describe a rare case of ulcerative colitis associated with unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy. A 64-year-old woman developed severe active ulcerative colitis and was treated with prednisolone. The dose of oral prednisolone was reduced to 7.5 mg/day, following which the patient noticed slight dysphagia and a speech disturbance. She was diagnosed with unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy, which was thought to be caused by mononeuritis. She was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone at a dose of 500 mg/day, which improved the neuropathy. When the neuropathy occurred, the patient was in a mildly active stage of ulcerative colitis. We concluded that the mononeuritis observed in the present case was likely an extraintestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Background A clinical history of peptic ulcer has been reported to be associated with a high rate of ulcer recurrence in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) users. Therefore, it is a very important issue to precisely know the previous history prior to NSAIDs administration. To clarify the possible difficulty to identify the history, we determined the sensitivity and diagnostic concordance of endoscopy for the identification of ulcer scars indicative of previous clinical history of peptic ulcer diseases. Methods The first study enrolled 200 consecutive patients with a clinical history of gastric or duodenal ulcers previously confirmed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The sensitivity of endoscopy for identifying scars was determined for these patients. In the second study, the extent of interobserver agreement was determined for 47 endoscopists who identified ulcer scars in endoscopic photographs of 30 sites of previous active gastric ulcers and 30 sites of previous active duodenal ulcers. The kappa coefficient of reliability was calculated to measure the interobserver agreement on the diagnosis of ulcer scars. Results Out of 190 patients eligible for analysis, 104 (54.7%) were found to have gastric or duodenal ulcer scars on endoscopy; there were no gastric or duodenal ulcer scars seen in the remaining patients (45%). In the second study, the kappa values for endoscopic diagnosis of gastric and duodenal ulcer scars were 0.14 (95% CI 0.13-0.16) and 0.29 (95% CI 0.27-0.32), respectively. The addition of indigo-carmine chromoendoscopy did not provide a statistically significant improvement in diagnostic concordance in patients with gastric ulcer scar since the kappa value for chromoendoscopic diagnosis was 0.15; 95% CI 0.13-0.17 as low as for un-contrasted scars. Conclusions The sensitivity and concordance of endoscopic diagnosis of gastric and duodenal ulcer scars are not satisfactory for the use of endoscopy only to identify previous ulcer disease. To avoid the overlooking the previous clinical history of peptic ulcer diseases, the diagnosis of peptic ulcer scar has to be carefully done prior to NSAIDs administration.

Abstract
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) and Crohn's disease (CD) are chronic inflammatory diseases of uncertain etiology. Although co-existence of these rare diseases is estimated to occur in 1 in 10 billion individuals, a theoretically unexpected association has been reported in several patients and it is suggested that those associations may have been more than an unusual coincidence. Herein, we report a case of TA associated with clinically inactive CD. A Japanese woman was diagnosed with colonic CD at the age of 15, developed aortic valve regurgitation at 19, and then presented with general fatigue, low grade fever, and painful sensations in her left arm at 25. She was diagnosed with TA based on computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance angiography findings, and treatments with prednisolone and cyclosporine were started. Thereafter, valve replacement and right coronary artery bypass graft surgery were performed. The possible pathophysiological mechanism responsible for concurrent existence of TA and CD may be associated with immune disorders. Early diagnosis of vascular lesions for patients with inflammatory bowel disease is highly encouraged.

Abstract
A 60-year-old man was admitted to our department for further evaluation of main pancreatic duct dilatation detected on ultrasonography. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed stenosis of the main pancreatic duct at the junction of the pancreatic head and body. Brush cytology revealed pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Histological examination of the resected pancreas showed a 15-mm in length intraductal growth of carcinoma in situ in the main pancreatic duct, 10mm of which showed microinvasion. There was also atypical hyperplasia at a branch pancreatic duct near the lesion. It was suspected to be an initial stage of pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Intraductal progression type and non-progression type are often suspected in a case showing progression of carcinoma in situ to pancreatic ductal carcinoma, and this case was thought to be intraductal progression.

Abstract
A 51-year-old woman with an unresectable pancreatic tumor that was histologically diagnosed as an adenosquamous carcinoma underwent chemoradiotherapy with 5-fluourouracil (FU) and low-dose cisplatin (low-dose FP). Because we recognized a partial response to the chemoradiotherapy, we subsequently administered combined chemotherapy with S-1 and cisplatin. After one course of this combined chemotherapy, the tumor was further reduced in size and became difficult to discern on abdominal computed tomography (CT). We have continued to administer the S-1 and cisplatin combined chemotherapy, and the patient is still alive. After 20 months of treatment, the tumor has not recurred (as assessed by abdominal CT). Additionally, we have not seen elevation of tumor markers. This report presents the successful use of chemoradiotherapy with low-dose FP and additional combined chemotherapy with S-1 and cisplatin for unresectable pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma.
