Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard treatment for colorectal cancer consists of surgery and chemotherapy, which can be combined to improve outcomes. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are a significant advancement in the standard treatment of metastatic, unresectable colorectal cancer with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR). However, limited data are available about the use of ICI in the neoadjuvant and conversion settings. Here, we present two cases treated with ICI. CASE PRESENTATION Case 1: A 75-year-old male with a large, borderline resectable rectal cancer diagnosed as cT4bN1bM0 who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by combination ICI consisting of ipilimumab and nivolumab. After four courses of ICI, the tumor significantly shrank, but positron emission tomography still showed a positive result and R0 resection was performed. Pathological analysis revealed no residual cancer cells. The patient has been monitored without adjuvant chemotherapy, and no recurrences have occurred after one year. Case 2: A 60-year-old male with locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer who received neoadjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab. The tumor partially shrank after three courses, and continued pembrolizumab monotherapy resulted in further tumor shrinkage which still showed positive positron emission tomography. Curative sigmoidectomy with partial resection of the ileum and bladder was performed, and the pathological outcome was pCR. There was no viable tumor in the specimen. The patient has been monitored without adjuvant chemotherapy for six months, and no recurrence has been observed. CONCLUSIONS The present study reports two cases, including a large, borderline resectable rectal cancer after failure of chemotherapy followed by combination treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab and one case of sigmoid colon cancer after pembrolizumab treatment, which resulted in pathological complete response. However, it remains unknown whether ICI therapy can replace surgery or diminish the optimal extent of resection, or whether adjuvant chemotherapy is needed after surgery in the case of achieving pCR after ICI therapy. Overall, this case report suggests that ICI before colorectal surgery can be effective and potentially a 'watch-and-wait" strategy could be used for cases in which ICI is effective.

Abstract
Elevated autophagy activity enhances the malignancy of pancreatic cancer (PaCa), and autophagy is recognized as a novel therapeutic target. Zinc finger protein with KRAB and SCAN domains 3 (ZKSCAN3) is a transcription factor that suppresses autophagy, but its association with PaCa is unknown. We analyzed the function of ZKSCAN3 in PaCa and investigated whether autophagy regulation through ZKSCAN3 could become a new therapeutic target for PaCa. Using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, we observed that ZKSCAN3 expression was upregulated in several PaCa cell lines compared with normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells. Additionally, comparing ZKSCAN3 expression with the prognosis of PaCa patients using web databases, we found that higher ZKSCAN3 expression in PaCa was associated with extended overall survival. Knocking down ZKSCAN3 promoted the proliferation of PaCa cells. Moreover, following ZKSCAN3 knockdown, PaCa cells exhibited significantly enhanced migratory and invasive properties. Conversely, overexpression of ZKSCAN3 significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of PaCa cells. Additionally, the knockdown of ZKSCAN3 increased the expression of LC3-II, a marker of autophagy, whereas ZKSCAN3 overexpression decreased LC3-II expression. In a xenograft mouse model, tumors formed by MIA PaCa-2 cells in which ZKSCAN3 was knocked down significantly increased in size compared with the control group. In conclusion, ZKSCAN3 expression was upregulated in several pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, it was revealed that ZKSCAN3 is negatively correlated with the malignancy of PaCa through autophagy. These results suggest that autophagy regulation via ZKSCAN3 may be a new therapeutic target for PaCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal-dominant disease characterized by café-au-lait spots and neurofibromas, as well as various other symptoms in the bones, eyes, and nervous system. Due to its connection with vascular fragility, neurofibromatosis type 1 has been reported to be associated with vascular lesions, such as aneurysms. However, there have been few reports of abdominal visceral aneurysms associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. Furthermore, there have been no reports of robotic treatment of aneurysms associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. In this report, we describe the case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 with a splenic artery aneurysm who was successfully treated with robotic surgery. CASE PRESENTATION This report describes a 41-year-old Asian woman with a history of neurofibromatosis type 1 who was referred to our hospital for evaluation of a 28 mm splenic artery aneurysm observed on abdominal ultrasound. The aneurysm was in the splenic hilum, and transcatheter arterial embolization was attempted; however, this was difficult due to the tortuosity of the splenic artery. Thus, we suggested minimally invasive robotic surgery for treatment and resection of the splenic artery aneurysm with preservation of the spleen. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the eighth day after surgery. At 1 year of follow-up, the patient was doing well, with no evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSION We encountered a rare case of splenic artery aneurysm in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 who was successfully treated with robotic surgery. There is no consensus on treatment modalities for neurofibromatosis-related aneurysms, and endovascular treatment is considered safe and effective; however, surgery remains an important treatment modality. Especially in patients with stable hemodynamic status, robotic surgery may be considered as definitive treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first successfully treated case of a splenic artery aneurysm in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Abstract
It has been pointed out that robotic surgery is more time-consuming than laparoscopic surgery, and a major challenge for the future is educating young surgeons while maintaining the surgical quality. To solve these problems, we report a role-sharing surgery (RSS) approach in which the surgery is divided into several areas and timetabled, with roles shared by several operators. We performed RSS for 19 standard colorectal cancer surgeries. The surgery was completed within + 28 min of the scheduled operation time, and a beginner robotic surgeon (BRS) was able to perform approximately 66% of the total surgery. There were no statistically significant differences in the short-term outcomes between the RSS and conventional surgery groups. Based on these findings, RSS has the potential to be the best practice for educating BRSs in robotic surgery, the use of which is expected to increase steadily in the future.

Abstract
We previously established pancreatic cancer (PaCa) cell lines resistant to gemcitabine and found that the activity of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) was enhanced upon the acquisition of gemcitabine resistance. Parthenolide, the main active ingredient in feverfew, has been reported to exhibit antitumor activity by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway in several types of cancers. However, the antitumor effect of parthenolide on gemcitabine-resistant PaCa has not been elucidated. Here, we confirmed that parthenolide significantly inhibits the proliferation of both gemcitabine-resistant and normal PaCa cells at concentrations of 10 µM and higher, and that the NF-κB activity is significantly inhibited, even by 1 µM parthenolide. In Matrigel invasion assays and angiogenesis assays, the invasive and angiogenic potentials were higher in gemcitabine-resistant than normal PaCa cells and were inhibited by a low concentration of parthenolide. Furthermore, Western blotting showed suppressed MRP1 expression in gemcitabine-resistant PaCa treated with a low parthenolide concentration. In a colony formation assay, the addition of 1 µM parthenolide improved the sensitivity of gemcitabine-resistant PaCa cell lines to gemcitabine. These results suggest that parthenolide may be used as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of gemcitabine-resistant PaCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Organ-preserving surgery has recently gained increasing attention. However, performing the surgery for duplicated gastric and distal pancreatic tumors is difficult because of procedural complexity and concerns of remnant gastric necrosis. We present the first case of simultaneous robotic distal gastrectomy plus spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy in a patient with overlapping gastric cancer and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. CASE PRESENTATION A 78-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer in the middle stomach and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreatic body. Radical cure surgery was performed using the da Vinci Xi robotic system. Conventional distal gastrectomy was initially completed using near-infrared ray guidance when transecting the stomach. After dividing the pancreas, the parenchyma of the distal pancreas was detached from the splenic artery and vein; multiple branches from these splenic vessels were dissected. Indocyanine green imaging confirmed sufficient blood flow in the splenic vessels and perfusion of the remnant stomach. Ultimately, gastrointestinal reconstruction was performed, and the postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSIONS The robotic distal gastrectomy plus spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy procedure was safely performed. Compared to the total gastrectomy plus distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy procedure, this technique may improve the quality of dietary life, reduce weight loss, and prevent complications associated with splenectomy.

Abstract
Although robotic rectal resections are now widely performed, there are few robotic suction tools that can be easily used by console surgeons. It can therefore be difficult to maintain a clear visual field in the pelvis when there is effusion and bleeding from either a highly advanced cancer or from preoperative cancer treatment. In this report, we introduce our unique surgical technique that uses a soft catheter with a small gauze ball attached, inserted through the assistant port. This simple and inexpensive "instrument" can be used by the console surgeon as a retractor as well as a reliable suction device to secure their view of the operative field in the pelvis. This technique can be used in a narrow surgical field and does not rely on an assistant surgeon, making it potentially applicable to all types of surgery.

Abstract
No consensus exists regarding the optimal treatment for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors. Herein, we describe a laparoscopic pancreas-preserving duodenectomy for the treatment of a 30-mm adenoma located in the third portion of the duodenum. The adenoma was located on the pancreatic side, further hindering safe endoscopic resection. Via laparoscopy, the jejunum was transected first. After releasing the third portion of the duodenum from the retroperitoneal space, the jejunum was pulled to the right side of the superior mesenteric artery and separated from the pancreas. Under endoscopic guidance, the duodenum was then transected and duodenojejunostomy performed intracorporeally. Laparoscopic pancreas-preserving duodenectomy can be considered minimally invasive, achieving tumor radicality while preserving organs and causing minimal destruction to the abdominal wall. In conclusion, although technically demanding, laparoscopic pancreas-preserving duodenectomy is a valuable treatment option for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors.

Abstract
The patient was a 68-year-old woman who was on hemodialysis due to systemic amyloidosis and nephrotic syndrome. Biopsy revealed amyloid deposition in the stomach, duodenum, and colon. A transverse colon tumor was found on a follow- up CT after the aortic dissection surgery. We performed lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and contrast-enhanced CT and diagnosed transverse colon cancer with gastric wall infiltration(cStage Ⅲc). We considered that transverse colon resection was oncologically sufficient. However, due to concurrent gastrointestinal amyloidosis, which increased the risk of anastomotic leakage we performed laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy to avoid colon-colon anastomosis with partial gastrectomy. Additionally intraoperative indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging showed that the fluorescence signal in the small intestinal wall was satisfactory, while it was weak in the colon wall. As a result, we suspected of impaired blood flow of colon wall due to an amyloidosis, so we additionally created a loop ileostomy. It is said that gastrointestinal amyloidosis raises the risk of anastomotic leakage. A case of transverse colon cancer complicated by gastrointestinal amyloidosis in which we successfully prevented anastomotic leakage through a multidimensional evaluation and approach is reported, along with a literature review.

Abstract
The frequency of metastasis to the pancreas is limited, and the frequency of metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is limited even further. The curative resection of this type of metastatic lesion has been reported for some patients; however, the survival benefit that can be attributed to these procedures has not yet been clearly determined. The patient examined in the present study was a 54-year-old man who was diagnosed with a lower thoracic esophageal cancer. Computed tomography revealed a 2-cm tumor at the tail of the pancreas. Since no other obvious distal metastases were observed, the patient underwent simultaneous surgical procedures, excising the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and the pancreatic metastasis. A histopathological examination confirmed squamous cell carcinoma in both specimens. The patient has been free of disease for 9 months since the resection. A literature review of all relevant cases to date also demonstrated that the primary tumor site in all cases of patients with esophageal cancer presenting with metastasis to the pancreas was the lower thoracic esophagus. Complete simultaneous resections of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and a solitary metastasis to the pancreas is beneficial and may produce favorable outcomes. However, due to the reduced number of corresponding reports, further studies are required for the confirmation of the benefits of surgery.

Abstract
The patient described herein was diagnosed with left breast, endometrial, and early gastric cancers at 49, 53, and 57 years of age, respectively. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography performed when she was undergoing treatment for cholecystitis at 50 years of age showed local pancreatic duct dilatation in the pancreatic head. She was followed in the Department of Gastroenterology at our hospital for an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN). An abdominal computed tomography scan obtained at 59 years of age revealed dilation of the main pancreatic duct in the pancreas body and tail, therefore an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was performed. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful; however, the pancreatic cancer recurred and she died approximately 14 months postoperatively. Reports of multiple cancers associated with IPMNs are rare, yet we managed a patient with a pancreatic head IPMN complicated by metachronous quadruple carcinomas( breast, endometrial, gastric, and pancreatic cancers).

Abstract
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNENs) are rare pancreatic neoplasms, and descriptions of treatment remain limited. Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted autocrine motility factor involved in the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a lipid mediator that promotes the progression of various cancers. The aim of this study was to clarify the importance of the ATX-LPA axis in panNENs and to confirm its contribution to panNEN progression using clinical data, cell lines, and a mouse model. Serum ATX level was higher in patients with panNEN than in patients with other pancreatic diseases (chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDAC], intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, autoimmune pancreatitis) and healthy controls, and 61% of clinical specimens stained strongly for ATX. In a case we encountered, serum ATX level fluctuated with disease progression. An in vitro study showed higher ATX mRNA expression in panNEN cell lines than in PDAC cell lines. Cell proliferation and migration in panNEN cell lines were stimulated via the ATX-LPA axis and suppressed by RNA interference or inhibitors. An in vivo study showed that intraperitoneal injection of GLPG1690, an ATX inhibitor, suppressed tumor progression in a xenograft model. These findings revealed that ATX expression is significantly elevated in panNEN and is related to the progression of panNEN. We showed the potential of ATX as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target.

Abstract
In August 2022, a 59-year-old female noted a mass in her umbilicus and sought evaluation at Toyokawa City Hospital. Abdominal computed tomography(CT)scan revealed a 1.6 cm mass in the umbilical region, ascites in the pelvis, and increased absorption in the omentum. Peritoneal dissemination of the carcinoma and Sister Mary Joseph's nodule due to an unknown primary tumor were suspected because no abnormalities were detected during upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. She underwent an umbilical lumpectomy and diagnostic laparoscopy to establish a definitive diagnosis. The surgical findings included numerous white nodules throughout the abdominal cavity. The umbilical mass and omental white nodules were resected. A final diagnosis of epithelial peritoneal mesothelioma was made based on the histopathologic examination. In general, peritoneal mesothelioma has a poor prognosis, and early treatment is essential; however, making a timely definitive diagnosis is difficult. Peritoneal mesothelioma should be included in the differential diagnosis for a patient with unexplained ascites and abdominal pain. Diagnostic laparoscopy and biopsy will facilitate the establishment of a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the standard therapy for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC), but chemotherapy is not efficacious. Proton beam therapy(PBT)has been covered by Japanese health insurance for ICC since 2022, and the number of cases is expected to increase. In some cases, irradiation is difficult due to the close proximity of the gastrointestinal tract to the tumor. We report our management of a patient with ICC close to the gastrointestinal tract. The patient was a 69-year- old woman with a history of distal gastrectomy and Billroth-Ⅰ reconstruction for gastric cancer. A CT scan showed a tumor in liver S3; a biopsy revealed ICC. Because the tumor was in contact with the gastroduodenal anastomosis, we placed an absorbable spacer and performed PBT. After the treatment, the tumor shrank slightly. Although the liver is anatomically adjacent to the digestive tract, the placement of absorbable spacers facilitates performing PBT without adverse events, and is thus considered a useful treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We had conducted a multi-institutional phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dynamic tumor tracking-stereotactic body radiotherapy (DTT-SBRT) for lung tumors. The primary endpoint was 2-year local control, which was reported to be 95.2%. After the initial evaluation of the primary endpoint, the study was extended as an observational study which was designed to evaluate 5-year survival and late toxicities. We present the long-term results of DTT-SBRT for lung tumors. MATERIALS/METHODS The main eligibility criteria for the study were as follows: (1) primary or metastatic lung cancer with a diameter of 5 cm or less, and up to 3 lesions without any extrapulmonary lesions; (2) ineligibility to standard surgery, or patient's refusal of surgery; (3) ECOG-PS of 0 to 2; and (4) expected range of respiratory motion of 10 mm or more. The study included 48 patients from four institutions with the median age of 80 years (range, 49-90 years). Forty-two patients had primary non-small-cell lung cancer, and 6 patients had metastatic lung tumors. Forty-eight tumors (median diameter, 23.5 mm; range, 5-47 mm) in 48 patients were targeted for DTT-SBRT using a gimbal-mounted linear accelerator. Prior to treatment planning, spherical gold markers were placed around the tumor to detect internal tumor motion using fluoroscopy. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy in four fractions. Treatment beams were delivered with DTT according to a 4D model that predicts internal tumor motion with abdominal wall motion. DTT-SBRT was successfully delivered to all but one patient who had poor correlation between abdominal wall and tumor motion. RESULTS Median follow-up period at data cutoff was 5.0 years (interquartile range, 3.1-6.3 years). Twenty-nine patients died; the causes of death were cancer-specific in 10 patients, comorbidity in 14 patients (pulmonary disease, renal failure, cerebral infarction, other malignancies, etc.), and unknown in 5 patients without cancer recurrence. Overall survival at 5 years was 51.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 36.5-64.6%). Progression-free survival and local control at 5 years were 41.0% (95% CI, 27.0-54.5%) and 92.6% (95% CI, 78.7-97.6%), respectively. There were no grade 4-5 toxicities. One patient (2%) developed grade 3 radiation pneumonitis at 3 months. Grade 2 toxicities were observed in 9 patients (19%), including dyspnea, radiation pneumonitis, pleural effusion, rib fracture, and dermatitis. CONCLUSION Dynamic tumor tracking SBRT achieved the long-term efficacy with low incidence of severe toxicities in lung tumors with respiratory motion. In this elderly patient cohort, non-cancer deaths were observed more than cancer-specific deaths.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) RTOG 0617 showed that cardiac events are relatively common after high-dose thoracic radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with or without durvalumab in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the data from a multi-institutional study in Japan. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients who received CCRT for stage III NSCLC between July 2018 and July 2019 were enrolled in a multi-institutional study in Japan. MACE was defined as follows: symptomatic pericardial effusion, acute coronary syndrome, pericarditis, significant arrhythmia, and heart failure. The cumulative incidence of MACE, accounting for death as a competing risk, was calculated. Pre-existing coronary heart disease (CHD) included coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, and extensive coronary artery calcification. The association between patient/treatment-related factors and MACE was assessed by multivariate analysis. RESULTS Among 178 patients with a median follow-up period of 42.5 months, 13 patients developed MACEs. The 3-year cumulative incidence of MACE was 6.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.0-11.9%). Univariate analysis showed that female sex and mean heart dose (MHD) were marginally associated (3-year cumulative incidence, male 5.6% vs. female 12.1%; P = 0.12; MHD ≥ 6.3 Gy 4.8% vs. < 6.3 Gy 9.1%; P = 0.13), and pre-existing CHD was significantly associated with an increased risk of MACE (no CHD 4.3% vs. CHD 16.8%; P = 0.026). Consolidation durvalumab was not associated with an increased risk of MACE (no durvalumab 5.2% vs. durvalumab 7.4%; P = 0.89). Multivariate analysis showed that pre-existing CHD was significantly associated with MACE (hazard ratio, 4.22; 95% CI, 1.30-13.7; P = 0.016). CONCLUSION The incidence of MACE based on the real-world data in Japan was lower than previously reported. Pre-existing CHD was associated with an increased risk of MACE after CCRT in patients with stage III NSCLC, whereas the administration of consolidation durvalumab was not associated with an increased risk of MACE.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To investigate the real-world data on overall survival (OS) in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with or without consolidation durvalumab, and to perform an exploratory analysis on effective radiation dose to the immune cells (EDIC). MATERIALS/METHODS In our multi-institutional retrospective study, patients who received CCRT between July 2018 and July 2019 for stage III NSCLC in Japan were investigated. EDIC was estimated using mean lung dose, mean heart dose, body volume, body mean dose, and body weight, as reported in the secondary analysis of RTOG 0617. The cut-off value of EDIC was calculated using the maximally selected log-rank statistics. RESULTS One hundred and seventy-eight patients were eligible for the analysis (136 patients, CCRT with consolidation durvalumab [CCRT+D] cohort; 42 patients, CCRT cohort). The median follow-up period was 42.5 months. Three-year OS rates were 59.8% in the overall cohort: 60.5% in the CCRT+D cohort, and 58.0% in the CCRT cohort with no significant difference (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45-1.27; P = 0.29). Univariate analysis showed that ECOG-PS, smoking history, histology, EGFR mutational status, gross tumor volume and EDIC were significantly associated with OS. Multivariate analysis showed that ECOG-PS 2, gross tumor volume ≥ 57 cm3 and EDIC ≥ 4.4 Gy were associated with poor OS. Among 21 EGFR-mutated patients, 3 year-OS rates were 64.7% in the CCRT+D cohort and 100% in the CCRT cohort, while 3 year-OS rates were 68.8% and 58.7% among 90 EGFR wild-type patients. Three-year OS rates were 64.6% and 47.6% for EDIC < 4.4 Gy and EDIC ≥ 4.4 Gy in the overall cohort (HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.14-2.90; P = 0.015). In the subgroup analysis, 66.3% vs. 44.4% in the CCRT+D cohort (HR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.17-3.47; P = 0.016), and 59.0% vs. 56.1% in the CCRT cohort (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.48-3.01; P = 0.70), respectively. CONCLUSION Our real-world data in Japan showed that there was no significant difference in OS between the CCRT+D cohort and the CCRT cohort. High EDIC could be a risk for poor OS in patients treated with CCRT and consolidation durvalumab compared with those treated with CCRT.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PaCa) tends to be resistant to chemotherapy and is associated with a very poor prognosis. It has been previously reported by the authors that integrin‑linked kinase (ILK) is a prognostic factor in PaCa. ILK expression was examined in a newly established gemcitabine (Gem)‑resistant (Gem‑R) PaCa cell line and it was demonstrated that ILK expression was upregulated compared with that in Gem‑sensitive (Gem‑S) cells. In the present study, the effects of increased ILK expression in Gem‑R PaCa cells were evaluated and it was examined whether compound 22 (Cpd22), an ILK inhibitor, exerted antitumor effects not only in Gem‑S cells but also in Gem‑R cells. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting revealed that ILK expression was higher in Gem‑R PaCa cells than in Gem‑S PaCa cells. Cpd22 inhibited the growth of PaCa cells in a concentration‑dependent manner. Cpd22 also inhibited the growth of Gem‑R PaCa cells. The invasive and angiogenic potential of Gem‑R PaCa cells was enhanced compared with that in Gem‑S cells; however, ILK small interfering RNA and Cpd22 treatment suppressed this enhancement of invasive potential compared with that in Gem‑S cells. The addition of Cpd22 to Gem also improved the sensitivity of Gem‑R cell lines to Gem. Furthermore, enhanced Akt signaling was associated with increased malignancy in Gem‑R cell lines. In conclusion, ILK was upregulated with resistance and may be involved in tumor angiogenesis, invasive potential, and chemotherapy resistance, which were all suppressed by Cpd22 treatment. Thus, Cpd22 may be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of PaCa.

Abstract
Girdin, an actin‑binding protein, is reportedly involved in the invasion and angiogenesis of various cancers. It has been suggested that the flavonoid Scutellarin (SCU) inhibits Girdin signaling. In the present study, the function and therapeutic applications of Girdin in pancreatic cancer (PaCa) were investigated. Immunohistochemical staining of Girdin in resected PaCa specimens from the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Science showed that high Girdin expression was associated with poor overall survival and relapse‑free survival, as well as with T factor, indicating invasion into the surrounding tissues. On the other hand, Girdin was highly expressed in almost all PaCa cell lines, and the migration ability of Girdin‑knockdown cell lines was decreased even under epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation. In addition, SCU suppressed PaCa cell migration by inhibiting the phosphorylation of Girdin. The expression and production of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‑A) was significantly decreased in Girdin‑knockdown cell lines. Furthermore, in Matrigel tube formation assays performed using culture supernatant, the lumen‑forming ability of vascular endothelial cells was also decreased in Girdin‑knockdown cell lines. However, SCU treatment did not significantly alter the expression or production of VEGF‑A. These results suggested that Girdin is involved in EGF signaling‑mediated migration of PaCa cells, that SCU inhibits PaCa invasion by suppressing Girdin activity, and that Girdin is also involved in angiogenesis via an activation pathway different from the action site of SCU. Girdin may be a prognostic biomarker, and the development of a novel molecular‑targeted drugs for Girdin may improve the prognosis of PaCa in the future.

Abstract
Background: Inflow control is one of the most important procedures during anatomical liver resection (ALR), and Glissonean pedicle isolation (GPI) is one of the most efficacious methods used in laparoscopic anatomical liver resection (LALR). Recognition of the Laennec's capsule covering the liver parenchyma is essential for safe and precise GPI. The purpose of this study was to verify identification of the Laennec's capsule, to confirm the validity of GPI in minimally invasive surgery, and to demonstrate the value of GPI focusing on the Laennec's capsule using a robotic system that has been developed in recent years. Methods: We used a cadaveric model to simulate the Glissonean pedicle and the surrounding liver parenchyma for pathologic verification of the layers. We performed 60 LALRs and 39 robotic anatomical liver resections (RALRs) using an extrahepatic Glissonean approach, from April 2020 to April 2023, and verified the layers of the specimens removed during LALR and RALR based on pathologic examination. In addition, the surgical outcomes of LALR and RALR were compared. Results: Histologic examination facilitated by Elastica van Gieson staining revealed the presence of Laennec's capsule covering the liver parenchyma in a cadaveric model. Similar findings were obtained following LALR and RALR, thus confirming that the gap between the Glissonean pedicle and the Laennec's capsule can be dissected without injury to the parenchyma. The mean GPI time was 32.9 and 27.2 min in LALR and RALR, respectively. The mean blood loss was 289.7 and 131.6 mL in LALR and RALR, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III complications between the two groups. Conclusions: Laennec's capsule is the most important anatomical landmark in performing a safe and successful extrahepatic GPI. Based on this concept, it is possible for LALR and RALR to develop GPI focusing on the Laennec's capsule. Furthermore, a robotic system has the potential to increase the safety and decrease the difficulty of this challenging procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) influences colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and is a key target in the treatment for metastatic CRC. However, the oncological impact of preoperative circulating VEGF in non-metastatic CRC (non-mCRC) has not been clearly elucidated. Herein, we have investigated the prognostic significance of elevated preoperative serum VEGF concentration in curatively resected non-mCRC without neoadjuvant therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 474 patients with pStage I-III CRC who underwent curative resection without neoadjuvant therapy were included. The relationship between preoperative serum VEGF concentration and clinicopathologic characteristics, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were investigated. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 47.4 months. No significant relationship between preoperative VEGF and clinicopathologic characteristics including tumor markers, pStage, and lymphovascular invasion was identified; however, VEGF values were wide-ranged in every pStage. Patients were categorized into four groups as follows: VEGF < median, median to 75th percentile, 75th percentile to 90th percentile, and ≥90th percentile. A tendency for a difference in 5-year OS (p=0.064) and RFS (p=0.089) was observed among the groups; however, OS and RFS were not correlated with VEGF elevation. In multivariate analyses, VEGF ≥90th percentile was paradoxically associated with better RFS. CONCLUSION Preoperative elevated serum VEGF concentration was associated with neither worse clinicopathological characteristics nor worse long-term outcomes in curatively resected non-mCRC. The prognostic value of preoperative circulating VEGF in initially resectable non-mCRC remains limited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous regression (SR) of cancer occurs in 1 in 60,000-100,000 patients. This phenomenon has been reported in almost all cancer types, most commonly neuroblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and lymphoma/leukemia. However, SR in colorectal cancer (CRC) is extremely rare, particularly in advanced cases. Hence, this report describes a very rare case of spontaneous regression of advanced transverse colon cancer. CASE PRESENTATION A 76-year-old female with anemia was diagnosed with a type II well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in the middle transverse colon. Two months later, a second colonoscopy examination was performed for preoperative marking, and it revealed tumor shrinkage and a shift to type 0-IIc morphology. Endoscopic tattooing was then performed, followed by a laparoscopic partial resection of the transverse colon with D3 lymph node dissection. However, the resected specimen contained no tumor, and colonoscopy showed no tumor remnants in the remaining colon. Histopathological examination revealed mucosal regeneration and a mucus nodule in between the submucosal and muscular layers, with no cancer cells detected. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the loss of MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) and postmeiotic segregation increased 2 (PMS2) expression in the cancer cells of biopsied specimens, suggesting deficient mismatch repair (dMMR). The patient continues to be followed up until 6 years postoperatively, and no recurrence has been observed. In this study, we also reviewed similar reported cases of spontaneous regression of cancer involving dMMR. CONCLUSION This study presents a rare case of spontaneous regression of advanced transverse colon cancer wherein dMMR is strongly involved. However, further accumulation of similar cases is needed to elucidate this phenomenon and to develop new treatment strategies for CRC.

Abstract
An-81-year-old man presented to another doctor complaining of epigastric pain. He was referred to us after the laboratory data revealed a high serum CEA and abdominal ultrasonography showed the space occupying lesion in the left liver. Abdominal CT revealed advanced gallbladder cancer infiltrating the liver and colon and found annular pancreas surrounding the descending portion of duodenum. We chose partial hepatectomy(S4a+S5), extrahepatic bile duct resection with hepaticojejunostomy and partial colectomy. Pathological diagnosis of the tumor was pT3N1M0, gallbladder cancer. The patient was discharged on the 21 days after operation. The frequency of malignant tumors in adult annular pancreas are not revealed. But some cases present with adult annular pancreas complicating the biliary tract tumor. We experienced a case of advanced gallbladder cancer with adult annular pancreas and report our case and review the pertinent literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine tumors of the minor papilla are very rare, and only 20 cases have been reported in the literature. Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the minor papilla with pancreas divisum has not been reported previously, making this the first reported case. Neuroendocrine tumors of the minor papilla have been reported in association with pancreas divisum in about 50% of cases reported in the literature. We herein present our case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the minor papilla with pancreas divisum in a 75-year-old male with a systematic literature review of the previous 20 reports of neuroendocrine tumors of the minor papilla. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-year-old Asian man was referred to our hospital for evaluation of dilation of the main pancreatic duct noted on abdominal ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a dilated dorsal pancreatic duct, which was not connected to the ventral pancreatic duct; however, it opened to the minor papilla, indicating pancreas divisum. The common bile duct had no communication with the pancreatic main duct and opened to the ampulla of Vater. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed a 12-mm hypervascular mass near the ampulla of Vater. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a defined hypoechoic mass in the minor papilla with no invasion. The biopsies performed at the previous hospital found adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent a subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. The pathological diagnosis was neuroendocrine carcinoma. At the 15-year follow-up visit, the patient was doing well with no evidence of tumor recurrence. CONCLUSION In our case, because the tumor was discovered during a medical check-up relatively early in the course of disease, the patient was doing well at the 15-year follow-up visit, with no evidence of tumor recurrence. Diagnosing a tumor of the minor papilla is very difficult because of the relatively small size and submucosal location. Carcinoids and endocrine cell micronests in the minor papilla occur more frequently than generally thought. It is very important to include neuroendocrine tumors of the minor papilla in the differential diagnosis of patients with recurrent pancreatitis or pancreatitis of unknown cause, especially for patients with pancreas divisum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is common during preoperative chemotherapy for esophageal cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between AKI after preoperative chemotherapy and postoperative complications in patients with esophageal cancer. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients who had received preoperative chemotherapy with cisplatin and underwent surgical resection for esophageal cancer under general anesthesia from January 2017 to February 2022 at an education hospital. A predictor was stage 2 or higher cisplatin-induced AKI (c-AKI) defined by the KDIGO criteria within 10 days after chemotherapy. Outcomes were postoperative complications and length of hospital stays. Associations between c-AKI and outcomes including postoperative complications and length of hospital stays were examined with logistic regression models. RESULTS Among 101 subjects, 22 developed c-AKI with full recovery of the estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) before surgery. Demographics were not significantly different between patients with and without c-AKI. Patients with c-AKI had significantly longer hospital stays than those without c-AKI [mean (95% confidence interval (95%CI)) 27.6 days (23.3-31.9) and 43.8 days (26.5-61.2), respectively, mean difference (95%CI) 16.2 days (4.4-28.1)]. Those with c-AKI had higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and prolonged weight gain after surgery and before the events of interest despite having comparable eGFR trajectories after surgery. c-AKI was significantly associated with anastomotic leakage and postoperative pneumonia [odds ratios (95%CI) 4.14 (1.30-13.18) and 3.87 (1.35-11.0), respectively]. Propensity score adjustment and inverse probability weighing yielded similar results. Mediation analysis showed that a higher incidence of anastomotic leakage in patients with c-AKI was primarily mediated by CRP levels (mediation percentage 48%). CONCLUSION c-AKI after preoperative chemotherapy in esophageal cancer patients was significantly associated with the development of postoperative complications and led to a resultant longer hospital stay. Increased vascular permeability and tissue edema due to prolonged inflammation might explain the mechanisms for the higher incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Remnant gastric ischemia is the most significant complication in distal pancreatectomy (DP) after distal gastrectomy (DG). Some studies have reported the safety of asynchronous DP in patients who underwent DG. We report a case of simultaneous robotic DG and DP. A 78-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric and pancreatic cancer. We preoperatively confirmed the absence of anomalies in the left inferior phrenic artery. Robotic simultaneous DG and DP was performed; subtotal resection of the stomach was carried out, enabling the left inferior phrenic artery to maintain perfusion of the remnant stomach, even after ligation of the splenic artery. The remnant stomach was preserved as scheduled, and indocyanine green fluorescence imaging confirmed sufficient remnant stomach tissue perfusion. Robotic surgery using the da Vinci surgical system (with a fluorescence imaging system and technology enabling surgical precision) is suitable for this surgical procedure because it considers tumor radicality and allows for function preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare variant, with a worse prognosis than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; moreover, it has characteristic clinical and histopathological features. Studies have mentioned the differentiation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms into mucinous/tubular adenocarcinomas; however, their transdifferentiation into adenosquamous carcinoma remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION An 80-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of multiple pancreatic cysts. Enhanced computed tomography after close follow-up for 6 years revealed a new nodule with poor enhancement on the pancreatic body. Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. Histopathological examination revealed an adenosquamous carcinoma with coexisting intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms; moreover, the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms lacked continuity with the adenosquamous carcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed squamous cell carcinoma and differentiation from adenocarcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma. Gene mutation analysis revealed KRASG12D and KRASG12R mutations in adenosquamous carcinoma components and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm lesions, respectively, with none showing the mutation of GNAS codon 201. The final histopathological diagnosis was adenosquamous carcinoma with coexisting intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. CONCLUSIONS This is the rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma with coexisting intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. To investigate the underlying transdifferentiation pathway of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms into this rare subtype of pancreatic cancer, we explored gene mutation differences as a clinicopathological parameter.

Abstract
We herein report a 64-year-old man with concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). An endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) from the pancreatic head mass revealed level 2 histology of AIP and atypical glands. We diagnosed definitive focal AIP using the clinical diagnostic criteria. Computed tomography revealed that the pancreatic mass had not been reduced by steroid therapy. Surgery was performed after a histological PDAC diagnosis was made via a transpapillary biliary biopsy. The resected specimen revealed PDAC associated with AIP. It is important to consider the cooccurrence of PDAC and AIP even if the histological diagnosis via an EUS-FNB is AIP.

Abstract
The utility of robotic surgery for remnant gastric cancer remains unclear. We report a case of a robotic gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer after pancreaticoduodenectomy and Child reconstruction with Braun enteroenterostomy. Adhesiolysis, lymphadenectomy, and gastrectomy were robotically performed. Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging confirmed the tissue perfusion of the reconstructive tract. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Robotic surgery facilitates safety for gastrectomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy because of its precise manipulation; its advantages can be further exploited by maximizing usage of the assistant's forceps. Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging capability of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System allows timely evaluation of tissue perfusion at the site of interest, leading to a more reliable procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of adjuvant radiotherapy (intraoperative radiotherapy, IORT; postoperative radiotherapy, PORT), and definitive radiotherapy for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer. METHODS Ninety-nine patients were analyzed. Thirty patients underwent IORT with surgery, 31 underwent PORT after surgery, and 38 underwent definitive radiotherapy. Tumor stage [Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) 2009] was as follows: Stage I, 7; IIA, 16; IIB, 31; III, 45. The doses for IORT, PORT, and definitive radio therapy were 20 to 30, 40 to 64.6, and 50.4 to 61.2 Gy, respectively. Associations between clinical parameters including age, gender, tumor site, stage, performance status, surgical margin, and use of chemotherapy and local control (LC) or overall survival (OS) were analyzed. RESULTS Follow-up periods for all patients were 1.1-145 months (median, 11). OS rate in the IORT, PORT, and definitive radiotherapy groups was 22%, 16%, and 6%, respectively, at 2 years. The 5-year OS rate was 13%, 3.2%, and 0%, respectively. Local control rate at 2 years was 33%, 35%, and 0%, respectively. No Grade ≥ 3 tox icities were observed. Distant metastasis was less common in the IORT group. Stage and surgical margin were sig nificant factors for OS after IORT. Performance status and chemotherapy were significant factors for OS after PORT and definitive radiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed the safety of the three treatment modalities, but the outcomes were not satisfactory. More intensive strategies including radiotherapy should be investigated.

Abstract
A 35-year-old man who had fever and stomachache was referred to our hospital. He underwent surgery and chemoradiotherapy for neuroblastoma as a child and subsequently developed leukemia. Frequent blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants were performed due to anemia. Abdominal contrast CT scan and contrast MRI showed tumorous lesions with a diameter of 60×42 mm in liver S6, and a tendency to increase in a short term. There was also hemochromatosis in the liver. We considered it a malignant tumor and performed a right lobectomy. Pathological examination diagnosed the tumor hepatic angiosarcoma. The postoperative course was fine and he was discharged without complications. But multiple liver metastases appeared 6 months after surgery. We performed chemotherapy but he passed away 10 months after surgery. Hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare disease among liver malignancies and has a very poor prognosis. As for the cause of hepatic angiosarcoma, many of them are unknown, but chronic exposures such as vinyl monomers have been reported in some cases. Hemochromatosis has been reported as a background factor for malignant tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case it is possible that it contributed to the development of hepatic angiosarcoma.

Abstract
Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3‑related (ATR) is a kinase that repairs DNA damage. Although inhibitors that selectively target ATR have been developed, their effectiveness in colorectal cancer has not been widely reported. The present study hypothesized that anticancer agents that effectively act in the S phase before the G2/M checkpoint may be ideal agents for concomitant use with ATR inhibitors, which act at the G2/M checkpoint. Therefore, the present study examined the combined effects of AZD6738, an ATR inhibitor, and trifluridine (FTD), which acts in the S phase and has a high DNA uptake rate. In vitro cell viability assays, flow cytometry and western blotting were performed to evaluate cell viability, and changes in cell cycle localization and protein expression. The results revealed that in colorectal cancer cells, the combination of AZD6738 and FTD inhibited cell viability, cell cycle arrest at the G2/M checkpoint and Chk1 phosphorylation, and increased apoptotic protein expression levels more than that when treated with FTD alone. HT29, a BRAF‑mutant cell line known to be resistant to anticancer drugs, was used to induce tumors in vivo. Since FTD does not have sufficient efficacy when administered orally, it was mixed with tipiracil to prevent degradation; this mixture is known as TAS‑102. TAS‑102 alone exerted minimal tumor suppressive effects; however, when used in combination with AZD6738, tumor suppression was observed, suggesting that AZD6738 may increase the effectiveness of a weakly effective drug. Although ATR inhibitors are effective against p53 mutants, the present study demonstrated that these inhibitors were also effective against the p53 wild‑type HCT116 colorectal cancer cell line. In conclusion, combination therapy with AZD6738 and FTD enhanced the inhibition of tumor proliferation in vitro and in vivo. In the future, we aim to investigate the potentiating effect of AZD6738 on 5‑fluouracil‑resistant cell lines that are difficult to treat.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischemic gastropathy is one of the unique postoperative complications associated with distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate blood flow to the stomach following a resection; however, no intraoperative procedures have been established to assess this issue. Herein we describe two cases in which intraoperative evaluation of real-time blood flow in the residual stomach was performed using indocyanine green fluorescence and da Vinci Firefly technology during a robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection. METHODS Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection was performed using a da Vinci Xi surgical system on two patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer and suspected invasion of the celiac artery. Indocyanine green (ICG) (0.5 mg/kg) was injected intravenously after resection to evaluate real-time blood flow of the stomach using the da Vinci Firefly system. Blood flow of the stomach was evaluated 60 seconds after the intravenous injection of ICG. RESULTS All cases were confirmed that there was sufficient blood flow in the residual stomach. Therefore, reconstruction of the left gastric artery was not performed, and the surgery was completed with preservation of the stomach. Good postoperative outcomes were achieved and there was no evidence of ischemic gastropathy or delayed gastric emptying in both cases. CONCLUSION This method is very useful in determining whether or not to perform reconstruction of the left gastric artery and/or additional resection of the remnant stomach during a robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection.

Abstract
Clinical studies have established the safety and advantages of laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer; therefore, laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in clinical practice is increasing. We report the case of a 77-year-old patient with gastric cancer who was referred to our center for LG. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a type 3 tumor identified as adenocarcinoma on biopsy. Three-dimensional computed tomography-angiography revealed two left gastric arteries (LGAs) branching from the celiac trunk. By laparoscopically performing the outermost layer-oriented lymphadenectomy (OML-OL), the two LGAs were detected and appropriately divided. Subtotal gastrectomy was completed, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The OML-OL was appropriate for LG in this situation. This case demonstrates the necessity of preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography-angiography with 1-mm slices and the importance of performing OML-OL.

Abstract
Compared to the more common epiphrenic diverticula, those located at the central section of the esophagus are quite rare. Minimally invasive approaches for mid-esophageal diverticula have lacked standardization. Certain mid-esophageal diverticula, like epiphrenic diverticula, have been attributed to esophageal motility disorders. Thus, we believe that surgery for esophageal diverticula requires preoperative evaluation of esophageal function, with additional surgery being performed in case of abnormalities. The laparoscopic trans-hiatal approach has been a common technique for managing epiphrenic diverticula but can also be used for mid-esophageal diverticula located far from the esophagogastric junction provided that the port location is carefully considered. Laparoscopic surgery is also preferable given that it is a minimally invasive procedure and allows for diverticulum resection and Heller myotomy and Dor surgery to prevent reflux in the same field of view. Hence, laparoscopic surgery may be a beneficial alternative to the traditional thoracic or thoracoabdominal techniques.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Compared with laparoscopic surgery (LS), robotic surgery (RS) is considered to have acceptable outcomes in rectal cancer, but few reports have focused on chylous ascites in RS. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and etiology of chylous ascites after RS. METHODS This retrospective study included 291 patients with rectal cancer who underwent RS (n = 165) or LS (n = 126) with high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to compare the two groups. RESULTS \Dissection around the IMA was achieved using ultrasonic coagulating shears in most LS cases, and monopolar scissors in most RS cases, sometimes using bipolar vessel sealing device or bipolar forceps. The incidence of chylous ascites was 12.2% in RS and 4.1% in LS after PSM (P = .037). When limited to the RS group, multivariate analysis identified absence of lymphatic sealing at the left side of the IMA and shorter operative time as independent risk factors for chylous ascites. Except for duration of drain placement, no outcomes differed significantly with or without chylous ascites. One patient with chylous ascites developed later infection and required antibiotic treatment. CONCLUSION The incidence of chylous ascites is significantly higher in RS than in LS, and RS with incomplete lymphatic sealing around the IMA is a risk factor for chylous ascites in rectal cancer. Although outcomes for patients with chylous ascites were acceptable, adequate lymphatic sealing during dissection around the IMA is crucial to prevent chylous ascites in RS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The best surgical technique for rectal cancer invading the prostate remains controversial. Rectal resection with en bloc prostatectomy using a standard retropubic approach is an option but has disadvantages. We report a new surgical procedure applying Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUE First, the rectum was mobilized mainly at its dorsal side. Next, the prostate was separated from the bladder and urethra via the pouch of Douglas approach without opening the Retzius cavity, after which the surgical specimen was extracted through the perineal wound. Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection was performed after vesicourethral anastomosis. DISCUSSION This new robotic procedure minimizes surgical trauma and preserves normal pelvic anatomy. Furthermore, this approach makes it easy to perform subsequent lateral pelvic lymph node dissection.

Abstract
BackgroundHypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP), characterized by an inflammatory disorder indicating intracranial or spinal thickening of dura mater, is found to develop as a neurological involvement in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Meanwhile, the previous studies focusing on HP in AAV have been reported as a single-institution study, and the analyses were performed in a small number of patients because HP is a rare neurological disorder. Therefore, neither etiological nor clinical characteristics of HP in AAV have been adequately elucidated.ObjectivesThis study clarified the characteristics of HP in AAV by analyzing the information of multicenter study in Japan (Japan collaborative registry of ANCA-associated vasculitis: J-CANVAS).MethodsWe analyzed the clinical information from 541 Asian patients with AAV enrolled in J-CANVAS. Of them, newly diagnosed and relapsed AAV were included in 448 and 93, respectively. The epidemiological and clinical findings were compared between patients with and without HP. Clinical manifestations related to AAV were evaluated based on the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score version 3. To elucidate independent factors in HP development, logistic regression analyses were additionally performed.ResultsOf the total 541 patients (mean age: 71±14 years, M:F = 1:1.2), HP was demonstrated in 28 (5.17%), including 17 (3.79%) in newly diagnosed AAV and 11 (11.8%) in relapsed AAV. The classification of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) was significantly higher in patients with HP than those without HP (50% vs. 21%, p = 0.0007). In newly diagnosed AAV, patients with HP significantly had higher GPA classification and higher positivity for PR3-ANCA than those without HP (53% vs. 17%, p = 0.001; 29% vs. 9%, p = 0.015, respectively). Conversely, positivity for MPO-ANCA was significantly higher in patients with HP than those without HP in relapsed AAV (91% vs. 55%, p = 0.025), despite not significantly different in the classification of AAV. Headache and cranial neuropathies were significant neurological symptoms in patients with HP compared to those without HP (82% vs. 6.6%, p < 0.0001; 32% vs. 2.9%, p < 0.0001, respectively). Besides, ear, nose and throat (ENT) and mucous membranes/eyes were significantly higher involvements in patients with HP than in those without HP (54% vs. 26%, p = 0.003; 29% vs. 9%, p = 0.003, respectively). Moreover, higher complications of “conjunctive hearing loss” and “sudden visual loss”, which are included in the categories of ENT and mucous membranes/eyes involvement, respectively, were significantly indicated in patients with HP than those without HP (39% vs. 7.2%, p < 0.0001; 21% vs. 1.2%, p < 0.0001, respectively). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified that ENT (odds ratio [OR] 1.28, 95% confident interval [CI] 1.09 to 1.49, p = 0.002) and mucous membranes/eyes involvement (OR 1.37, CI 1.14 to 1.65, p = 0.0006), as well as conjunctive hearing loss (OR 4.52, CI 1.56 to 13.05, p = 0.005) and sudden visual loss (OR 1.84, CI 1.12 to 3.00, p = 0.015), were independent related factors in patients with HP.ConclusionGPA could be significantly classified in patients with HP. Notably, patients with HP significantly showed higher positivity for PR3-ANCA than those without HP in newly diagnosed AAV. Furthermore, sudden visual loss and conjunctive hearing loss might be implicated in HP development.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) has been associated with atherosclerosis in patients with chronic renal failure, and may cause secondary nephrotic syndrome. Therefore, we hypothesized that the reactivation of CMV by immunosuppressive therapy in patients with vasculitis may affect renal function.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between CMV infection and renal function during ANCA-associated vasculitis remission induction therapy.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study enrolled microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis patients at 25 sites in Japan who had a first or severe relapse between January 2017 and June 2020. Of these, patients with MPA or GPA who had a positive renal lesion score on BVAS (version 3) at baseline, or vasculitis findings on renal biopsy, CMV assayed by 48 weeks of treatment, were included. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of a positive CMV antigen test during the remission induction phase (0–48 weeks of treatment). Outcomes were the rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 48 weeks after initiation of treatment in both groups, as determined by (eGFR at 48 weeks - eGFR at the initiation of treatment)/eGFR at the initiation of treatment; where lower values were associated with worse renal function. General linear models adjusted for age, gender, presence of diabetes or chronic kidney disease, and the use of rituximab or cyclophosphamide were generated.ResultsA total of 387 patients had CMV antigen measured during ANCA-associated vasculitis treatment, of which 164 had renal involvement and eGFR measured at 48 weeks. Seventy-seven (47.0%) were male and the median age was 75 years (range 69–80 years). CMV reactivation was observed in 44 patients (26.8%). The beta coefficient of multiple regression analysis with CMV positive as 1 and negative as 0 was 0.08 (95% confidence interval -0.13 to 0.29) (p = 0.47). The rate of change in eGFR was higher in the CMV positive group, but not statistically significantly.ConclusionContrary to our hypothesis, renal prognoses tended to be better when CMV reactivation was observed. The patients in the CMV reactivation group may have been treated more aggressively, and some patients with a poor prognosis who were not followed up for 48 weeks dropped out. Further research investigating the adjustment of treatment methods is required.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody -associated vasculitis (AAV) is usually treated with combination of high-dose glucocorticoid (GC) and immunosuppressive agents, followed by tapering GC dose. Although the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) has specific recommendations for tapering the GC dose, clinicians often taper it slower than recommended due to concerns of potential disease relapse. However, such slower taper may prolong GC exposure for the patients, increasing the risk of adverse events, particularly infection.ObjectivesThe aims of our study were (1) to clarify GC dose tapering in the treatment of AAV in a real-world setting, in contrast to the EULAR recommendation of 2015 and (2) to compare the incidence of AAV relapse and severe infection between patients underdoing EULAR-recommended tapering and those undergoing slower tapering than the recommendation.MethodsIn this multicenter (25 sites in Japan), observational, retrospective study of AAV, 541 patients who had initial or severe relapse were enrolled between January 2017 and June 2020. Of these, 349 patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) or granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) who entered in GC tapering phase after successful induction treatment were included. These patients were then grouped on the pace of GC tapering, defined as the GC dose at 12 weeks after treatment initiation: (1) EULAR group: 7.5-10 mg/day of GC, according to the EULAR recommendation of 2015, and (2) SLOWER group: >10 mg/day of GC. Their baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared. Primary outcome was defined as relapse-free days from treatment initiation, whereas secondary outcome included the incidence of infectious events requiring hospitalization within 48 weeks from treatment initiation. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess the relationship between tapering pace and clinical outcomes.ResultsThere were 44 patients (12.6%) in the EULAR group and 290 (83.2%) in the SLOWER group. Regarding baseline characteristics, compared with the EULAR group, the SLOWER group had significantly higher serum C-reactive protein level (EULAR, 5.89 ± 6.89 mg/dL vs SLOWER, 7.56 ± 6.01 mg/dL; p = 0.03), as well as a trend toward higher Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (version 3) (EULAR, 11.80 ± 7.01 SLOWER, 13.93 ± 7.06; p = 0.08) We did not observe any significant differences in the frequency of relapses between the two groups (EULAR, 8/44, 18.2% vs SLOWER, 55/290, 19.0%; p = 0.63). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed no relationship GC dose at 12 weeks from treatment initiation and incidence of relapse. However, upon logistic regression analysis, the SLOWER group was found to have significant higher risk of a severe infectious event within 48 weeks from treatment initiation (p = 0.046; hazard ratio, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.004 – 1.601).ConclusionOur finding indicates that clinicians tended to taper GC slower for patients with higher disease activity. However, slower GC taper was not found to reduce the frequency of relapse. In addition, slower GC taper was found to increase the risk of a severe infection. Hence, clinicians should pay attention not only relapsing but also late GC taper resulting in the risk of serious infection, especially in patients with higher disease activity of AAV.References[1]Eur J Clin Invest 2015;45 (3): 346–368.[2]Rheumatology (Oxford). 2021 Dec 24;61(1):205-212.[3]Arthritis Res Ther. 2021 Mar 20;23(1):90.[4]Scand J Rheumatol. 2022 Jan 20;1-13.[5]J Rheumatol. 2018 Apr;45(4):521-528.[6]Rheumatol Adv Pract. 2021 Mar 9;5(3):rkab018.[7]Ann Rheum Dis. 2016 Sep;75(9):1583-94.Figure 1.AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Editage (www.editage.com) for English language editing.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Background In gastrectomies, especially subtotal gastrectomies and operations on the gastroesophageal junction, identifying the exact location of the tumor and establishing the appropriate resection line is very important. Accurate resection lines have a major impact on the preservation of organ function and curability. Preservation of as much as possible of the remaining stomach, including the fornix, may be an important surgical goal for maintaining an adequate postoperative quality of life. In adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, the height of the esophageal dissection may affect reconstruction of the transhiatal approach. Methods We perform a new technique, near infrared ray-guided surgery, for the accurate localization of a tumor using the Firefly technology of the daVinci Xi system and intra-operative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. We used this new technique for cases of upper gastric cancer or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. In this retrospective study, we examined to determine the extent (mm) of the tumor invasion of the esophagus, visualization of near infrared ray contained within endoscopic light, and distance from the proximal margin of the tumor to the surgical cut line on rapid histopathology and in the permanent preparation, including the operative videos and extracted specimens. Results We performed near infrared ray-guided surgery for 12 patients with gastric cancer or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, and the near infrared ray was clearly seen as green light with Firefly mode in all the patients. Near infrared ray-guided surgery was useful for obtaining localization of the tumor. In addition, it was possible to resect organ with adequate margins from tumor. Rapid intraoperative histopathological examinations confirmed that the resected specimens had negative margins. None of the patients required additional resection. Conclusions We believe that because near infrared ray-guided surgery can provide an accurate resection line, it will be useful for the resection of upper gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. It will also provide patients with a good postoperative quality of life after surgery.

Abstract
Cancer‑associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the major components of the cancer stroma in the tumor microenvironment. The interaction between cancer cells and CAFs (cancer‑stromal interaction; CSI) promotes tumor progression, including metastasis. Recently, the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‑1 (TIMP‑1) was reported to promote cancer cell migration and metastasis, which is contrary to its anticancer role as an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase. Moreover, CAF‑derived TIMP‑1 is reported to regulate CAF activity. In the present study, we investigated the effect of TIMP‑1 on colon cancer cell migration in vitro. The TIMP‑1 secretion levels from the CAFs and cancer cell lines were comparatively measured to determine the main source of TIMP‑1. Furthermore, the effect of CSI on TIMP‑1 secretion was investigated using the Transwell co‑culture system. Cancer cell migration was evaluated using the wound‑healing assay. The results demonstrated that TIMP‑1 promoted the migration of LoVo cells, a colon cancer cell line, whereas TIMP‑1 neutralization inhibited the enhanced migration. The TIMP‑1 levels secreted from the cancer cells were approximately 10 times less than those secreted from the CAFs. TIMP‑1 secretion was higher in CAFs co‑cultured with cancer cells than in monocultured CAFs. Furthermore, the migration of LoVo cells increased upon co‑culturing with the CAFs. TIMP‑1 neutralization partially inhibited this enhanced migration. These results suggest that CAFs are the primary source of TIMP‑1 and that the TIMP‑1 production is enhanced through CSI in the tumor microenvironment, which promotes cancer cell migration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Essence of chicken (EOC), a hot water extract of chicken, is widely consumed in Southeast Asia as a beverage. EOC has an inhibitory effect on the elevation of blood glucose levels and a secretagogue effect on insulin. However, the mechanism by which EOC promotes insulin secretion is unknown. We aimed to verify the postprandial hyperglycemic inhibitory effect and the insulin secretory effect of EOC in healthy adults under appropriate placebo settings. In addition, we aimed to understand the mechanism underlying the insulin secretory effect of EOC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-four healthy Japanese adults were fed 68 mL of EOC or control food, followed by 200 g of cooked rice. Blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were measured at 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after the participants ate cooked rice. The trial had a randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled design. RESULTS The ingestion of EOC induced an increase in the maximum blood concentration (Cmax) of insulin and shortened the time required to reach the maximum blood concentration following rice consumption. Ingestion of the test beverage resulted in a significantly higher insulinogenic index than that obtained after ingestion of the control beverage. No side effects were observed in this study. Mechanistic experiments revealed that EOC stimulated significant (p < 0.05) secretion of GLP-1 from NCI-H716 human intestinal L cells at 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/mL. CONCLUSIONS Consuming EOC when eating rice supports pancreatic function. Daily consumption of EOC could elevate the early-phase insulin response; therefore, it could prevent diabetes in Asians with low insulin secretion.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the blood flow at the site of delta-shaped anastomosis during robotic distal gastrectomy and determine surgical outcomes and risk factors for ischemia at the anastomotic site from the perspective of clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes and perigastric vascular anatomy. METHODS We included 55 patients who underwent robotic distal gastrectomy with a blood flow evaluation in the duodenal walls using intravenous indocyanine green injection with the da Vinci Xi-equipped Firefly system. Additional resection was performed in patients with a poor blood flow. Clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes and perigastric vascular anatomy were compared between the 45 patients with sufficient blood flow (group S) and the 10 patients with insufficient blood flow (group I). Vascular anatomy was assessed by preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography according to Hiatt's classification. RESULTS The patient characteristics and surgical outcomes were not significantly different. No patient developed anastomotic complications requiring intervention; more patients in group I had aberrant branching of the left hepatic artery than those in group S (p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS An indocyanine green-based blood flow evaluation might be an effective method of preventing anastomotic complications of delta-shaped anastomosis. Anatomical branching variations of the left hepatic artery might be a risk factor for impaired vascular perfusion of the anastomotic site.

Abstract
The repair of DNA damage caused by chemotherapy in cancer cells occurs mainly at two cell cycle checkpoints (G1 and G2) and is a factor contributing to chemoresistance. Most colorectal cancers harbor mutations in p53, the main pathway involved in the G1 checkpoint, and thus, are particularly dependent on the G2 checkpoint for DNA repair. The present study examined the effect of AZD6738, a specific inhibitor of ataxia telangiectasia mutated and rad3-related (ATR) involved in the G2 checkpoint, combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a central chemotherapeutic agent, on colorectal cancer cells. Since 5-FU has a DNA-damaging effect, its combination with AZD6738 is likely to enhance the therapeutic effect. The effects of the AZD6738/5-FU combination were evaluated in various colorectal cancer cells (HT29, SW480, HCT116 and DLD-1 cells) by flow cytometry (HT29 cells), western blotting (HT29 cells) and water-soluble tetrazolium 1 assays (HT29, SW480, HCT116 and DLD-1 cells), as well as in an experimental animal model (HT29 cells). In vitro, the AZD6738/5-FU combination increased the number of mitotic cells according to flow cytometry, decreased the checkpoint kinase 1 phosphorylation levels and increased cleaved caspase-3 and phosphorylated form of H2A.X variant histone levels according to western blotting, and decreased the proliferation rate of four colon cancer cell lines according to cell viability experiments. In vivo, xenografted colorectal cancer cells treated with the AZD6738/5-FU combination exhibited a marked decrease in proliferation compared with the 5-FU alone group. The present results suggested that AZD6738 enhanced the effect of 5-FU in p53-mutated colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Objective The treatment for nonampullary duodenal adenoma remains to have no consensus and established methods. Although endoscopic treatment is minimally invasive, it was reported to cause delayed perforation in more than 20% of cases. For adenomas in the duodenum, we performed endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)-aid surgery, which is a procedure to prophylactically suture the seromuscular structure of the duodenum after ESD. In this procedure, we did not perform Kocher mobilization prior to ESD to facilitate endoscopic resection and full-thickness resection to prevent spread of the tumor and infection to the abdominal cavity. The duodenal wall was reinforced in planes using a suture clip. Results Of the 13 cases of duodenal adenoma that underwent ESD-aid surgery at our hospital between April 2018 and December 2020, 1 developed postoperative bleeding, but there was no late perforation. For duodenal adenomas, ESD-aid surgery was considered a safe and minimally invasive treatment.
