Abstract
Recent advances in chemotherapy and radiotherapy have led to an increase in the number of long-term survivors of pancreatic cancer. However, this has also increased the number of patients suffering from ectopic varices and bleeding owing to left-sided portal hypertension and thrombocytopenia caused by splenomegaly after pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with resection of the splenic vein. A 65-year-old woman with varices of the elevated jejunum due to left sided portal hypertension after pancreaticoduodenectomy had repeated melena, which started about 1 year before admission. We describe the first reported case of percutaneous transsplenic venous embolization using metallic coils, which successfully achieved hemostasis of refractory bleeding from the elevated jejunal varices after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
Introduction Pancreatic resection is the only curative treatment for pancreatic cancer. Due to tumor cachexia most patients present with a weight loss at the time of diagnosis. Postoperatively the weight loss is often intensified. Tumor cachexia has an influence on the post-operative morbidity and mortality and on the overall survival. Complementary nutrition has a benefit on the mentioned issues. Needle catheter jejunostomy (NCJ) offers a well-tolerated and safe way for additional nutrition therapy. Until today, the optimal length of postoperative supplementary nutrition has not been evaluated. Methods and analysis The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of complementary nutritional support until discharge and until 8-weeks after discharge for patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The primary endpoint is the comprehensive complications index assessed 12 weeks postoperatively. The grading of the complications will be performed by a blinded assessor. The secondary endpoints are: quality of life, a nutritional assessment and the assessment of the effect on adjuvant therapies and 5-year survival. Follow-up visits are planned 1-, 3-, 6-, 12- and 60 month postoperatively. A total sample size of 140 patients was determined for the analysis of the primary endpoint. The confirmatory analysis will be performed based on the intention-to-treat principle. Ethics and dissemination The ethics committee of the University of Bern reviewed and approved this study on 22.08.2016 (KEK BE 322/14). The trial was registered in the German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS00010237) on 25.08 2016. The present trial is the first study comparing short- and long-term complementary nutritional support after PD in randomized controlled study. The results will allow a postoperative nutritional therapy after PD based on high quality data. The results will be presented at relevant surgical conferences and written publications of the short-term results and long-term oncologic results are planned within surgical journals.

Abstract
Background and aim It is recognized that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), may develop after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, the mechanism of NASH development remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the changes in gene expression associated with NASH occurrence following PD. Methods The expression of genes related to fatty acid/triglyceride (FA/TG) metabolism and inflammatory signaling was examined using liver samples obtained from 7 post-PD NASH patients and compared with 6 healthy individuals and 32 conventional NASH patients. Results The livers of post-PD NASH patients demonstrated significant up-regulation of the genes encoding CD36, FA-binding proteins 1 and 4, acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase α, diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ compared with normal and conventional NASH livers. Although serum apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and TG were decreased in post-PD NASH patients, the mRNAs of ApoB and microsomal TG transfer protein were robustly increased, indicating impaired TG export from the liver as very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Additionally, elevated mRNA levels of myeloid differentiation primary response 88 and superoxide dismutases in post-PD NASH livers suggested significant activation of innate immune response and augmentation of oxidative stress generation. Conclusions Enhanced FA uptake into hepatocytes and lipogenesis, up-regulation of PPARγ, and disruption of VLDL excretion into the circulation are possible mechanisms of steatogenesis after PD. General significance These results provide a basis for understanding the pathogenesis of NAFLD/NASH following PD. The mechanism of NASH development after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) was unclear. The gene expression involved in fatty acid uptake and lipogenesis was increased. PPARγ and its target genes were up-regulated in post-PD NASH livers. Impaired triglyceride excretion from the liver was suggested in post-PD NASH. This study proposes possible mechanisms of steatogenesis after PD.
