Abstract
Plexiform fibromyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor identified in recent years and presents as a gastrointestinal submucosal tumor that is typically located in the gastric antrum. We report a case of gastric plexiform fibromyxoma in which the diagnosis was difficult despite repeated tissue sampling. Before visiting our hospital, the patient had been followed up for 3 years without a definitive diagnosis despite serial examinations, including computed tomography, endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration was reperformed, and endoscopic submucosal dissection for deep biopsy was conducted for differential diagnosis of the tumor. However, histological analysis with immunostaining of tumor samples obtained using these techniques cannot provide a reliable diagnosis. Finally, the tumor was resected surgically because of its increasing size, and subsequent microscopic analysis revealed a multinodular plexiform growth pattern of spindle-like cells with myxoid stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for smooth muscle actin but negative for c-kit, CD34, and S100. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with plexiform fibromyxoma. No evidence of residual or recurrent tumors was observed at 24 months postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a relatively non-invasive anti-cancer therapy that employs a photosensitizer with a specific wavelength of light, causing a photochemical reaction that releases free radicals, thereby inducing tumor cell necrosis via oxidative stress. The oxygen molecule reaches the singlet excited state through efficient energy transfer from an excited triplet state of the photosensitizer. Heavy atoms are frequently introduced in photosensitizers for efficiently generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PDT, known as the heavy atom effect. However, metal-complexed photosensitizers often show low water-solubility. To overcome this limitation and produce ROS effectively, we focused on the better solubility of photosensitizers with heavy metals bound within the chlorin skeleton and conjugated with glucose in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS We established maltotriose (Mal3)-conjugation with heavy metallochlorins [M (Mal3-chlorin), M=Pt or Pd)] and evaluated its anti-tumor effect. RESULTS M (Mal3-chlorin) showed effective ROS production and singlet oxygen induction. Consequently, these cytotoxic factors caused effective anti-tumor effects and induced morphological changes, followed by cell death in vitro. In a xenograft tumor mouse model, PDT with M (Mal3-chlorin) showed tumor growth suppression. CONCLUSION M (Mal3-Chlorin) might be an excellent glucose-conjugated chlorin because of its strong anti-tumor PDT effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic diagnosis is essential for predicting the curability of early gastric cancer (EGC; R0 resection) before treatment, but the relationship between ulcerative lesions and clinical outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effect of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) on the morphological changes of ulcerative EGCs and its relevance to the clinical outcomes. METHODS Altogether, 143 patients with differentiated ulcerative EGC that were resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection were retrospectively identified and divided into the following two cohorts depending on their PPI/P-CAB administration status: PPI/P-CAB (n = 76) and non-PPI/P-CAB (n = 67) cohorts. Furthermore, in each cohort, the patients were further divided into the improved and unimproved subgroups based on the ulcerative changes. RESULTS In the PPI/P-CAB cohort, the deep submucosal invasion and lymphovascular invasion rates were significantly higher in the unimproved subgroup than in the improved subgroup, resulting in a significantly lower R0 resection rate. Contrarily, no significant differences were found between the two subgroups in the non-PPI/P-CAB cohort. The significance of PPI/P-CAB administration was observed only in the ulcerative EGCs with open-type atrophy (R0 resection rate; improved vs. unimproved, 90.9% vs. 48.0%, p = 0.001). When the finding of improved ulcer with PPI/P-CAB administration was used as the indication of endoscopic resection in ulcerative EGCs with open-type atrophy, high sensitivity (78.9%) and accuracy (76.3%) rates for the curability were observed which were higher than those of conventional endoscopic diagnosis alone (p = 0.021). CONCLUSION PPI or P-CAB administration might contribute to the potential selection of ulcerative EGCs, enabling endoscopic curative resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is a risk factor and poor prognostic factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS PDAC cells and obese visceral adipocytes (O-Ad) derived from mice and humans were used to analyze interactions between the two cell types, and human microvascular endothelial cells were used for angiogenesis assay. A xenograft mouse model with subcutaneously injected PDAC cells was used for animal studies. The relationship between visceral fat and prognosis was analyzed using resected tissues from PDAC patients with and without obesity. RESULTS Conditioned media (CM) from O-Ad significantly increased PDAC cell growth and migration and angiogenic capacity in both human and mice cells, and blocking osteopontin (OPN) in O-Ad canceled O-Ad-induced effects in both mouse and human cells. In addition, O-Ad directly increased the migratory and tube-forming capacities of endothelial cells, while blocking OPN canceled these effects. O-Ad increased AKT phosphorylation and VEGFA expression in both PDAC and endothelial cells, and OPN inhibition in O-Ad canceled those O-Ad-induced effects. In the xenograft model, PDAC tumor volume was significantly increased in obese mice compared with lean mice, whereas blocking OPN significantly inhibited obesity-accelerated tumor growth. OPN expression in adipose tissues adjacent to human PDAC tumor was significantly higher in obese patients than in non-obese patients. In PDAC patients with obesity, high OPN expression in adipose tissues was significantly associated with poor prognosis. CONCLUSION Obese adipocytes trigger aggressive transformation in PDAC cells to induce PDAC progression and accelerate angiogenesis via OPN secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective tumor treatment that involves the administration of a photosensitizer to generate cytotoxic 1O2 [reactive oxygen species (ROS)] from molecular oxygen that is produced from energy absorption following tumor irradiation at specific wavelengths. Ferroptosis is induced by the disruption of the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) antioxidant system, leading to lipid peroxidation. We hypothesized that talaporfin sodium-photodynamic therapy (TS-PDT)-generated ROS would lead to ferroptosis via accumulation of lipid peroxidation. METHODS Cell viability assay in TS-PDT-treated cells in combination with a ferroptosis inhibitor (ferrostatin-1: Fer-1) or ferroptosis inducers (imidazole ketone erastin: IKE, Ras-selective lethal 3: RSL3) was performed. Accumulation of lipid peroxidation, GPX4 antioxidant system and cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc-) activity in TS-PDT-treated cells was investigated. In xenograft mice, the antitumor effect of TS-PDT in combination with ferroptosis inducers (IKE or sorafenib) was examined. RESULTS TS-PDT-induced cell death was partly suppressed by Fer-1 and accompanied by lipid peroxidation. TS-PDT combined with IKE or RSL3 enhanced the induction of cell death. TS-PDT inhibited cystine uptake activity via system xc-. In vivo, the combination of TS-PDT and ferroptosis inducers (IKE or sorafenib) reduced tumor volume. CONCLUSION This study found that the mechanism underlying TS-PDT-induced ferroptosis constitutes direct lipid peroxidation by the generated ROS, and the inhibition of system xc-, and that the combination of a ferroptosis inducer with TS-PDT enhances the antitumor effect of TS-PDT. Our findings suggest that ferroptosis-inducing therapies combined with PDT may benefit cancer patients.

Abstract
Reovirus, a naturally occurring oncolytic virus, initiates the lysis of tumor cells while simultaneously releasing tumor antigens or proapoptotic cytokines in the tumor microenvironment to augment anticancer immunity. However, reovirus has developed a strategy to evade antiviral immunity via its inhibitory effect on interferon production, which negatively affects the induction of antitumor immune responses. The mammalian adaptor protein Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) was identified as a key regulator that orchestrates immune responses by sensing cytosolic DNA derived from pathogens or tumors, resulting in the production of type I interferon. Recent studies reported the role of STING in innate immune responses to RNA viruses leading to the restriction of RNA virus replication. In the current study, we found that reovirus had a reciprocal reaction with a STING agonist regarding type I interferon responses in vitro; however, we found that the combination of reovirus and STING agonist enhanced anti-tumor immunity by enhancing cytotoxic T cell trafficking into tumors, leading to significant tumor regression and survival benefit in a syngeneic colorectal cancer model. Our data indicate the combination of reovirus and a STING agonist to enhance inflammation in the tumor microenvironment might be a strategy to improve oncolytic reovirus immunotherapy.

Abstract
Although anti-tumor necrosis factor-α monoclonal antibody biological preparations (BP) agents are widely used as an established treatment tool for refractory ulcerative colitis (UC), whether leukocytapheresis/granulocytapheresis (L/G-CAP) has similar beneficial impact on the disease activity remains undetermined. Furthermore, the costs defrayed for the treatment with these 2 modalities have not been compared. We retrospectively evaluated whether L/G-CAP offered sustained beneficial effects over 2-year period. The patients who had moderately to severely active UC (Rachmilewitz clinical activity index (CAI) ≧ 5) and were treated with a series (10 sessions) of L/G-CAP (n = 19) or BP (n = 7) as an add-on therapy to conventional medications were followed. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness pertaining to the treatment with L/G-CAP and BP was assessed over 12 months. At baseline, L/G-CAP and BP groups manifested similar disease activity (CAI, L/G-CAP; 7.0 [6.0-10.0], BP; 10.0 [6.0-10.0], P = .207). The L/G-CAP and BP treatment suppressed the activity, with CAI 1 or less attained on day 180. When the L/G-CAP group was dichotomized into L/G-CAP-high and L/G-CAP-low group based on CAI values (≥3 or < 3) on day 365, CAI was gradually elevated in L/G-CAP-high group but remained suppressed in L/G-CAP-low group without additional apheresis for 2 years. Anemia was corrected more rapidly and hemoglobin levels were higher in BP group. The cost of the treatment with L/G-CAP over 12 months was curtailed to 76% of that with BP (1.79 [1.73-1.92] vs 2.35 [2.29-3.19] million yen, P = .028). L/G-CAP is as effective as BP in a substantial number of patients over 2 years. The cost for the treatment of UC favors L/G-CAP although the correction of anemia may prefer BP. Thus, L/G-CAP can effectively manage the disease activity with no additional implementation for 2 years although further therapeutic modalities might be required in a certain population with high CAI observed on day 365.

Abstract
Every-week (ew) adalimumab (ADA) maintenance following induction therapy with a standard induction regimen has recently been approved for use in Japan. The efficacy and safety of combination therapy with ew-ADA maintenance following standard induction regimen plus intensive granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) (two sessions/week) for the treatment of refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) displaying failure of conventional, biologics and Janus kinase inhibitor have not been evaluated previously. The present retrospective study evaluated the 10-week efficacy of this combination therapy among refractory UC patients. Six patients were given initial ADA combination therapy (ADA at 160 mg in week 0, ADA 80 mg in week 2, and 40 mg in week 4, followed by ew-ADA at 40 mg/week) plus intensive GMA. One patient (16.6%) achieved clinical remission and two patients (33.3%) achieved endoscopic improvement by week 10. After excluding two patients who discontinued treatment, mean full Mayo score (P = 0.14), endoscopic subscore (P = 0.18) and C-reactive protein level (P = 0.27) at 10 weeks were numerically decreased compared with baseline in the remaining four cases, although the differences were not significant. Use of ew-ADA maintenance following standard induction regimen plus intensive GMA appears unlikely to achieve satisfactory induction of clinical remission in UC patients for whom conventional agents, biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors have failed.

Abstract
172 Background: Anti-EGFR antibody is recommended as one of the standard treatments in patients with RAS wild-type advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Few reports have evaluated low-frequency subclones of alterations in EGFR signaling pathway genes in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) during anti-EGFR treatment in prospective cohort of advanced CRC patients. Methods: Key inclusion criteria of this study was as follows: 20 years old and over, performance status 0 to 2, metastatic or recurrent CRC (adenocarcinoma), RAS wild-type CRC diagnosed by PCR-rSSO using tumor tissue, no prior use of anti-EGFR antibody. Plasma samples were prospectively collected at pre-treatment, at 4, 10 weeks, every 10 weeks thereafter, and at the end of the anti-EGFR treatment. With QX200 Droplet Digital PCR platform, we analyzed hotspot mutations of KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA and copy number (CN) variant of HER2 and MET using plasma samples of pre- and post-treatment as well as during treatment (limited to patients with any gene alterations at pre- and post-treatment). Results: Total 50 patients were registered in this study, but 3 patients were excluded because inclusion criteria were not met. Finally, 47 patients were included in full analysis set. In 15 patients (31.9%), genetic alterations including KRAS (G12G13: 10.1%, A59Q61: 2.2%), NRAS (G12G13: 2.2%, Q61: 2.1%), BRAF (V600: 6.4%) , PIK3CA (E545: 4.3%, H1047: 4.3%) , and HER2 (amplification: 6.5%) were detected in pre-treatment samples. Analysis of pre-treatment samples showed that response rates of patients with any gene alterations (N = 13) and that without any gene alterations (N = 29) were 30.8% and 58.6%, respectively (p = 0.095). When the cut-off of variant allele frequency (VAF) was set as 0.5% in patients with any gene mutations, the response rates for cases with VAF ≥0.5% (N = 6) and those with VAF < 0.5% (N = 7) were 0% and 57.1%, respectively (p = 0.049). Among 41 patients with detectable target lesions by CT scan, there was significant difference in percentage of best tumor shrinkage between patients with gene alterations and those without gene alterations (32.1% vs 10.5%, p = 0.037), when cut-off VAF of any gene mutations was set as 0.5% and cut-off CN of HER2 or MET was set as 4 at pre-treatment. Due to dynamics of each gene alteration in cfDNA during treatment, mutations of KRAS A59Q61, NRAS Q61, and MET amplification were characterized as acquired alterations which were newly detected after the administration of anti-EGFR antibodies. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated the clinical relevance of minor mutant subclones in EGFR signaling pathway genes in plasma for predicting response to anti-EGFR treatment. Although sample size of this study was small, preferable threshold for distinguishing responders from non-responders may be 0.5% as VAF of these gene mutations.

Abstract
Genetic abnormalities induce the DNA damage response (DDR), which enables DNA repair at cell cycle checkpoints. Although the DDR is thought to function in preventing the onset and progression of cancer, DDR-related proteins are also thought to contribute to tumorigenesis, tumor progression, and drug resistance by preventing irreparable genomic abnormalities from inducing cell death. In the present study, the combination of ataxia telangiectasia-mutated serine/threonine kinase (ATM) and checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) inhibition exhibited synergistic antitumor effects and induced synergistic lethality in colorectal cancer cells at a low dose. The ATM and Chk1 inhibitors synergistically promoted the activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 by decreasing the phosphorylation levels of T14 and Y15. Furthermore, the combined treatment increased the number of sub-G1-stage cells, phospho-histone H2A.X-positive cells, and TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling-positive cells among colon cancer cells, suggesting that the therapy induces apoptosis. Finally, the combined treatment exhibited a robust antitumor activity in syngeneic tumor model mice. These findings should contribute to the development of new treatments for colorectal cancer that directly exploit the genomic instability of cancer cells.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a relatively non-invasive anti-cancer therapy that employs a photosensitizer with a specific wavelength of light irradiation. PDT induces direct cell killing and enhancement effects on tumor immunity, but its underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we perform a basic analysis of the anti-tumor effect of talaporfin sodium (TS)-PDT as well as its synergism with the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-programmed death 1 (anti-PD-1) antibody. We estimate the cell death mechanism induced by TS-PDT and the induction of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) by TS-PDT in vitro. We establish a syngeneic mouse model of bilateral flank tumors and verify the enhancement of the abscopal effect on the non-irradiated side. TS-PDT induced apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy-associated cell death in vitro. TS-PDT induced the release and/or expression of DAMPs in vitro. Tumor growth was inhibited in the TS-PDT and anti-PD-1 antibody combination group compared with other single-treatment or non-treatment groups in vivo. In summary, TS-PDT induces the release and/or expression of DAMPs, indicating that it activates innate immunity. PD-1 blockage enhances the anti-tumor immunity induced by TS-PDT. Thus, our results demonstrate that the combination of TS-PDT and anti-PD-1 antibody can potentially be used for anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular features of nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs) remain unclear. AIM The aim of this study is to determine the association between the genetic features and clinicopathological findings of NADETs. METHODS In total, 75 NADETs were enrolled in this study, and was performed targeted DNA sequencing of the GNAS, KRAS, TP53, and APC genes. Histological grade was classified as category 3 or category 4/5 according to the Vienna classification, and the immunophenotype was categorized as the gastric phenotype (G type), gastrointestinal phenotype (GI type), or the intestinal phenotype (I type). RESULTS The prevalence of GNAS and KRAS mutations was significantly higher in the G type than in the GI/I type (GNAS, P = 0.027; KRAS, P = 0.005). In contrast, the frequency of TP53 mutations was significantly higher in the GI/I type than in the G type (P = 0.049). Notably, APC mutations, excluding c.4479 G>A which was synonymous mutation, were more frequently identified in category 4/5 tumors than in category 3 tumors (50% vs. 24.5%; P = 0.039). CONCLUSION G-type NADETs harbored frequent GNAS and KRAS mutations, whereas TP53 mutations are common in NADETs with intestinal features. APC mutations were significantly associated with high-grade neoplasia and invasive carcinoma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The natural history and prognosis of superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) remain uncertain. We elucidated the relationship between immunophenotype and clinicopathological features. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 98 SNADETs were divided into 3 groups according to immunohistochemical findings: gastric phenotype (G type), gastrointestinal phenotype (GI type), and intestinal phenotype (I type). Cellular dysplasia was divided into low-grade dysplasia and high-grade dysplasia/adenocarcinoma (≥HGD). White opaque substance (WOS) deposition was categorized into diffuse WOS, partial WOS, and no WOS, based on endoscopic findings. RESULTS Of the 98 SNADETs, 4 lesions (4.1%) were G type, 32 lesions (32.7%) were GI type, and 62 lesions (63.2%) were I type. All G-type SNADETs were located in the oral side of the papilla including the bulb, and the rate of bulbar lesions was significantly higher in the G type than in the GI and I types (p = 0.004). The most frequent type of WOS was no WOS (4/4, 100%) for G type, partial WOS (19/32, 59.4%) for GI type, and diffuse WOS (34/62, 54.8%) for I type (p < 0.001), and loss of intestinal character was significantly correlated with WOS deficiency. GI/I-type SNADETs with partial or no WOS and G-type SNADETs were associated with ≥HGD. Additionally, the frequency of ≥HGD lesion was significantly higher in the CD10-negative group than in the CD10-positive group (57.1 vs. 19.8%, p = 0.043). CONCLUSION Pathological intestinal character was correlated with the presence of WOS, and CD10 loss was associated with malignant potential of SNADETs.

Abstract
There are currently no reports on the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with ustekinumab (UST) plus intensive granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) for the treatment of refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). We retrospectively evaluated the 10-week effectiveness of combination therapy with UST plus intensive GMA on refractory UC patients including two corticosteroid (CS)-dependent patients, two CS-refractory patients and one patient with loss of response to tacrolimus. Four patients were administered initial combination therapy of UST (6 mg/kg UST followed by subcutaneous injections of 90 mg UST every 8 weeks) plus intensive GMA. Of the four patients who received this combination therapy, two (50%) achieved clinical remission at 10 weeks. The rate of patients achieving endoscopic improvement (endoscopy subscore ≤ 1) at 10 weeks was 50%. In all cases, CSs were discontinued within 10 weeks. No adverse events were observed. Combination therapy with UST plus intensive GMA is helpful to reduce clinical disease activities in refractory UC patients and appears well tolerated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The standard first-line treatment for human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin and fluoropyrimidines. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of S-1 and oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2) (SOX100) combined with trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against HER2 for HER2-positive AGC. METHODS In this single-arm, multicenter phase II study, patients with HER2-positive AGC received S-1 (80-120 mg per day) orally on days 1-14, oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2) intravenously on day 1, and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg on day 1 of the first cycle, followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks) intravenously. The primary end point was 1-year survival rate. The secondary end points included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and safety. RESULTS A total of 25 patients from six centers were enrolled from December 2015 to March 2020. In the 25 patients evaluable for analysis, the 1-year survival rate was 70.8% [90% confidence interval (CI) = 55.5-86.1%], whereas the median OS, PFS, and ORR were 17.8 (95% CI 10.5-22.9) months, 7.6 (95% CI 5.0-10.9) months, and 75.0% (95% CI 53.3-90.2), respectively. Major grade 3/4 adverse events included anorexia (20%), anemia (16%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (16%), and diarrhea (15%). CONCLUSION SOX100 combined with trastuzumab was effective with a favorable safety profile in patients with HER2-positive AGC.

Abstract
Objective Conventional risk scores of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) are based on many parameters, and their application in clinical practice is therefore limited. The aim of this study was to establish simple and reliable criteria for predicting PUD-associated mortality. Methods A total of 499 patients with PUD were divided into 2 groups: the training cohort (n=333) and the validation cohort (n=166). To minimize selection bias due to missing values, we used imputed datasets generated by the multiple imputation method (training-cohort dataset, n=33,300; validation-cohort dataset, n=16,600). Results In the training-cohort dataset, the heart rate-to-systolic blood pressure ratio (HR/SBP) and serum albumin (s-Alb) level were significant independent predictive factors for mortality according to the multivariate analysis [HR/SBP, odds ratio (OR): 1.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-2.80, p=0.028; s-Alb, OR: 0.23, 95% CI, 0.11-0.51, p<0.001]. The model comprising HR/SBP and s-Alb was able to detect mortality due to PUD with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.855. In the validation-cohort dataset, this model also showed good efficacy with an AUC of 0.835. The novel criteria combining HR/SBP and s-Alb developed by a decision tree analysis showed 73.3% sensitivity and 87.6% specificity for predicting mortality in the total-cohort dataset. Our criteria were superior to the Glasgow Blatchford and Rockall scores and similar to the AIMS65 and Progetto Nazionale Emorragia Digestiva scores for predicting mortality. Conclusion The combination of the HR/SBP ratio and s-Alb level is a good predictor of mortality in patients with PUD.

Abstract
Background Levodopa–carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) treatment, a unique drug delivery system for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD), is covered by health insurance in Japan since September 2016. Various LCIG procedure/device-associated adverse events (AEs) have been reported; however, reports on their treatment have been limited. This is the first multicenter study to clarify the frequency and timing of device-related AEs. Methods Between September 2016 and December 2018, 104 patients introduced to the LCIG treatment for advanced PD in 11 hospitals were included. The patients’ characteristics, AEs incidence, AEs time, and tube exchange time were investigated. Results The median follow-up period was 21.5 months. Minor AE cases were 29.4%, whereas major AE cases were 43.1%. Majority of major AEs (n = 55, 94.8%) were managed with endoscopic treatment, such as tube exchange. Few severe AEs required surgical treatment (n =3, 5.2%). The mean (range) exposure to percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) was 14.7 (0–33) months. One year after the LCIG treatment introduction, 55 patients (54.0%) retained the original PEG-J tube. The mean PEG-J tube exchange time was 10.8 ± 7.0 months in all patients, 11.6 ± 4.7 and 10.5 ± 7.7 months in patients with scheduled exchange and who underwent exchange due to AEs, respectively. Conclusions Some device-related AEs occurred during the LCIG treatment; however, only few were serious, most of which could be treated with simple procedures or tube replacement with endoscopy. Therefore, the LCIG treatment is feasible and safe and is a unique treatment option for PD, requiring endoscopists’ understanding and cooperation.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) diagnosis using conventional gastrointestinal endoscopy is difficult because such malignancies cannot be distinguished from other types of submucosal tumors. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is based on the preferential uptake of photosensitizers by tumor tissues and its detection by fluorescence emission upon laser excitation. In this study, we investigated whether PDD using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a standard photosensitizer used worldwide, could be used for GIST diagnosis. 5-ALA is metabolized to endogenous fluorescent protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). We examined the accumulation of PpIX in GIST-T1 cells using flow cytometry and immunofluorescent staining. Furthermore, we established GIST-T1 xenograft mouse models and examined PpIX accumulation in the resultant tumors. PpIX accumulated in GIST-T1 cells and was localized mainly to lysosomes. PpIX accumulation was also observed in murine xenograft tumors. Moreover, tumor and normal tissues could be distinctly identified by relative PpIX fluorescence. Thus, our results demonstrated that PDD with 5-ALA has substantial clinical potential for GIST diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are diagnosed and classified using the latest Rome IV criteria, released in 2016. Epidemiology of FGID diagnosed by the Rome IV criteria and current clinical application of gastrointestinal motility testing in Asian countries are not well known. The aims of this survey are to elucidate the present situation of epidemiology and diagnostic tests of FGID in clinical practice in some East and Southeast Asian countries. METHODS The questionnaire focusing on current situation of FGID diagnosis and gastrointestinal motility testing was distributed to members of the International Gastroenterology Consensus Symposium study group and collected to be analyzed. RESULTS The prevalence rates of subtypes of both functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are relatively similar in all Asian countries. In these countries, most patients underwent both upper endoscopy and Helicobacter pylori test to diagnose FD. Colonoscopy was also frequently performed to diagnose IBS and chronic constipation. The frequency of gastrointestinal motility testing to examine gastric emptying and colonic transit time varied among Asian countries. CONCLUSIONS This survey revealed epidemiology of FGIDs and current status of gastrointestinal motility testing in some East and Southeast Asian countries.

Abstract
The molecular and clinical characteristics of non‐ampullary duodenal adenomas and intramucosal adenocarcinomas are not fully understood because they are rare. To clarify these characteristics, we performed genetic and epigenetic analysis of cancer‐related genes in these lesions. One hundred and seven non‐ampullary duodenal adenomas and intramucosal adenocarcinomas, including 100 small intestinal‐type tumors (90 adenomas and 10 intramucosal adenocarcinomas) and 7 gastric‐type tumors (2 pyloric gland adenomas and 5 intramucosal adenocarcinomas), were investigated. Using bisulfite pyrosequencing, we assessed the methylation status of CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) markers and MLH1. Then using next‐generation sequencing, we performed targeted exome sequence analysis within 75 cancer‐related genes in 102 lesions. There were significant differences in the clinicopathological and molecular variables between small intestinal‐ and gastric‐type tumors, which suggests the presence of at least two separate carcinogenic pathways in non‐ampullary duodenal adenocarcinomas. The prevalence of CIMP‐positive lesions was higher in intramucosal adenocarcinomas than in adenomas. Thus, concurrent hypermethylation of multiple CpG islands is likely associated with development of non‐ampullary duodenal intramucosal adenocarcinomas. Mutation analysis showed that APC was the most frequently mutated gene in these lesions (56/102; 55%), followed by KRAS (13/102; 13%), LRP1B (10/102; 10%), GNAS (8/102; 8%), ERBB3 (7/102; 7%), and RNF43 (6/102; 6%). Additionally, the high prevalence of diffuse or focal nuclear β‐catenin accumulation (87/102; 85%) as well as mutations of WNT pathway components (60/102; 59%) indicates the importance of WNT signaling to the initiation of duodenal adenomas. The higher than previously reported frequency of APC gene mutations in small bowel adenocarcinomas as well as the difference in the APC mutation distributions between small intestinal‐type adenomas and intramucosal adenocarcinomas may indicate that the adenoma–carcinoma sequence has only limited involvement in duodenal carcinogenesis. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that colorectal serrated lesions, which include sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs), are precursors of colorectal cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the carcinogenesis, particularly in TSAs, remain largely uncharacterized. To clarify their molecular and clinicopathological characteristics, we performed mutation and methylation analyses of cancer-associated genes in 78 serrated lesions, including TSAs, SSAs and microvesicular hyperplastic polyps. Target exon sequence analysis was performed with 39 genes, including genes known to be frequently mutated in colorectal cancers and/or serrated lesions. We also used bisulfite pyrosequencing to assess the methylation status of various cancer-associated genes and marker genes of the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). The prevalence of mutations in genes associated with Wnt signaling was significantly higher in TSAs than SSAs (65% vs. 28%, p < 0.01). Among those, RNF43 mutations were observed in 38% of TSAs and 17% of SSAs. In immunohistochemical studies of 39 serrated lesions, the prevalence of abnormal nuclear β-catenin accumulation was significantly higher in TSAs (57%) than SSAs (8%) (P = 0.01). SMOC1 methylation was detected in 54% of TSAs but in no SSAs (p < 0.01). Additionally, SMOC1 methylation was more prevalent among TSAs with KRAS mutation (82%) than with BRAF mutation (38%, p = 0.03). Lesions with CIMP-high or RNF43 mutations were detected only in TSAs with BRAF mutation, suggesting two distinct carcinogenic pathways in TSAs. Mutations in genes associated with Wnt signaling play a greater role in the carcinogenesis of TSAs than SSAs.

Abstract
Background The use of monotherapy with intensive granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) or a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor has been limited to patients with refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). The efficacy and safety of combination therapy with tofacitinib (TOF) plus intensive GMA (two sessions per week) for refractory UC have not been evaluated. Methods This retrospective study evaluated the 10-week efficacy of combination therapy with TOF plus intensive GMA in patients with refractory UC. Results Of seven patients who received a combination therapy with TOF plus intensive GMA, 71.4% achieved clinical remission at 10 weeks. The percentages of patients with mucosal healing and complete mucosal healing at 10 weeks were 100% and 42.9%, respectively. The mean full Mayo score and endoscopic subscore at baseline were 8.71 ± 0.80 and 2.4 ± 0.2, respectively, and the corresponding values at 10 weeks were 1.57 ± 0.48 and 0.6 ± 0.2 (P < 0.01), respectively. Adverse events of an orolabial herpes and temporary increase in creatinine phosphokinase (CK) and triglyceride were observed in three patients. Conclusions Based on these outcomes, combination therapy with TOF plus intensive GMA was well tolerated and may be useful for induction of clinical remission in patients with refractory UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We previously synthesized a glucose-conjugated chlorin compound e6 (G-chlorin e6), and reported that it has very strong antitumor effects. The aim of the present study was to synthesize acetylated glucose-conjugated chlorin (AcN003HP) and evaluate its antitumor effect and excretion. MATERIALS AND METHODS To evaluate the antitumor effect of AcN003HP, its IC50 was calculated as well as its accumulation in cancer cells was examined by flow cytometry. Confocal microscopy was used to observe the intracellular localization of AcN003HP. The excretion and antitumor effects of AcN003HP were also evaluated in vivo. RESULTS AcN003HP showed stronger antitumor effects and accumulation into cancer cells compared to talaporfin sodium, a conventional photosensitizer. AcN003HP was localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. In a xenograft tumor mouse model, AcN003HP showed longer excretion time from the body than G-chlorin e6, and photodynamic therapy using AcN003HP showed very strong antitumor effects. CONCLUSION The safety, improved controllability, and robust antitumor effects suggest AcN003HP as a good next-generation photosensitizer.

Abstract
Objective: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an important cause of chronic cough. Substance P (SP) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cough. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and prokinetic agents are the current treatment for GER-associated cough. The aim was to evaluate the effects of anti-reflux treatment and its associations with cellular and neurogenic inflammation.Methods: Thirty-seven patients with GER-associated cough suspected based on characteristic symptoms such as heartburn and worsening of cough by phonation and rising were recruited. A PPI, rabeprazole 20 mg daily, and a prokinetic agent, itopride 50 mg t.i.d., were administered for 4 weeks in a prospective, observational manner. Before and after treatment, subjective cough measures [visual analog scale (VAS) and the Japanese version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (J-LCQ)], the modified frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD [FSSG, consisting of 2 domains: acid-reflux (AR) and functional dyspepsia symptoms], sputum and plasma SP levels, and sputum cell differentials were examined. Patients with good response to treatment [Δ (decrease of) VAS >15 mm; n = 21) were compared with poor responders (ΔVAS ≤15 mm).Results: Anti-reflux treatment significantly improved the cough VAS, J-LCQ, and AR symptoms, and ΔVAS and ΔAR were significantly correlated. Decreases of plasma and sputum SP levels and sputum neutrophil counts were significantly greater in responders than in poor responders. Both baseline values and post-treatment changes of plasma SP and sputum neutrophils were significantly correlated for all patients.Conclusions: Successful treatment of GER-associated cough may be associated with the attenuation of neurogenic and neutrophilic inflammation.

Abstract
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit D (EIF3D) binds to the 5'-cap of specific mRNAs, initiating their translation into polypeptides. From a pathological standpoint, EIF3D has been observed to be essential for cell growth in various cancer types, and cancer patients with high EIF3D mRNA levels exhibit poor prognosis, indicating involvement of EIF3D in oncogenesis. In this study, we found, by mass spectrometry, that Cullin-3 (CUL3)/KCTD10 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase forms a complex with EIF3D. We also demonstrated that EIF3D is K27-polyubiquitinated at the lysine 153 and 275 residues in a KCTD10-dependent manner in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Similar to other cancers, high expression of EIF3D significantly correlated with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients, and depletion of EIF3D drastically suppressed HepG2 cell proliferation. These results indicate that EIF3D is a novel substrate of CUL3/KCTD10 Ub ligase and suggest involvement of K27-polyubiquitinated EIF3D in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Ustekinumab is applied to induce clinical remission in patients with Crohn's disease. Granulocyte and monocyte absorptive apheresis depletes activated myeloid lineage leukocytes and has been applied for active Crohn's disease. This study retrospectively examined the efficacy and safety of combining intensive granulocyte and monocyte absorptive apheresis and ustekinumab for remission induction therapy in refractory Crohn's disease. Between June and September 2017, three consecutive cases (two females) with refractory Crohn's disease were treated with intensive granulocyte and monocyte absorptive apheresis plus ustekinumab. Crohn's disease activity index, and simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease at baseline and 10 weeks were applied as treatment efficacy outcomes. In all three cases, at week 10, clinical remission was achieved, while simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease reflected no improvement. Thus, combination therapy with intensive granulocyte and monocyte absorptive apheresis plus ustekinumab appeared to represent a safe and effective intervention for inducing clinical remission.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exploits light interactions and photosensitizers to induce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species. Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) uses the phenomenon of photosensitizer emitting fluorescence to distinguish some tumors from normal tissue. The standard photosensitizer used for PDD is 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), although it is not entirely satisfactory. We previously reported glucose-conjugated chlorin (G-chlorin) as a more effective photosensitizer than another widely used photosensitizer, talaporfin sodium (TS); however, G-chlorin is hydrophobic. We synthesized oligosaccharide-conjugated chlorin (O-chlorin) with improved water-solubility. We report herein on its accumulation and cytotoxicity. O-chlorin was synthesized and examined for solubility. Flow cytometric analysis was performed to evaluate O-chlorin accumulation in cancer cells. To evaluate the intracellular localization of photosensitizer, cells were stained with O-chlorin and organelle-specific fluorescent probes. We then measured the in vitro fluorescence of various photosensitizers and the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations to evaluate effects in PDD and PDT, respectively. Xenograft tumor models were established, and antitumor and visibility effects were analyzed. O-chlorin was first shown to be hydrophilic. Flow cytometry then revealed a 20- to 40-times higher accumulation of O-chlorin in cancer cells than of TS, and a 7- to 23-times greater fluorescence than 5-ALA. In vitro, the cytotoxicity of O-chlorin PDT was stronger than that of TS PDT, and O-chlorin tended to accumulate in lysosomes. In vivo, O-chlorin showed the best effect in PDT and PDD compared to other photosensitizers. O-chlorin was hydrophilic and showed excellent tumor accumulation and fluorescence. O-chlorin is promising as a next-generation bifunctional photosensitizer candidate for both PDT and PDD.

Abstract
Both the pre-apoptotic exposure to calreticulin (CRT) and the post-apoptotic release of high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) are required for immunogenic cell death. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses non-toxic photosensitizers and visible light at a specific wavelength in combination with oxygen to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that kill malignant cells by apoptosis and/or necrosis, shut down the tumor microvasculature, and stimulate the host immune system. We have previously shown that glycoconjugated chlorin (G-chlorin) has superior cancer cell selectivity and effectively suppresses the growth of xenograft tumors. In the present study, we evaluated the immunogenicity of PDT with G-chlorin treatment in colon cancer cells. PDT with G-chlorin suppressed CT26 (mouse colon cancer cells) tumor growth considerably more efficiently in immunocompetent mice (wild-type mice, allograft model) than in immune-deficient mice (nude mice, xenograft model), although control treatments were not different between the two. This treatment also induced CRT translocation and HMGB1 release in cells, as shown by western blot and immunofluorescence staining. To evaluate the use of PDT-treated cells as a tumor vaccine, we employed a syngeneic mouse tumor model (allograft model). Mice inoculated with PDT-treated CT26 cells were significantly protected against a subsequent challenge with live CT26 cells, and this protection was inhibited by siRNA for CRT or HMGB1. In conclusion, PDT with G-chlorin treatment induced immunogenic cell death in a mouse model, where the immunogenicity of this treatment was directed by CRT expression and HMGB1 release.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a rare case of refractory gastric antral ulcers. A woman in her 50 s was admitted to Nagoya City University Hospital with epigastric pain after being diagnosed with gastric antral submucosal tumor at another hospital. Findings from esophagogastroduodenoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound examination revealed that the lesion was a gastric ulcer. The patient had no Helicobacter pylori infection and no recent history of using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. On the basis of these findings, we diagnosed this as a case of refractory gastric antral ulcer (RGAU). RGAU is considered a new disease concept and detailed analyses are expected in the future.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death in diabetic patients, and an association between antidiabetic drugs and cancer risk has been reported. Such evidence implies a strong connection between diabetes and cancer. Recently, glucagon has been recognized as a pivotal factor implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes. Glucagon acts through binding to its receptor, glucagon receptor (GCGR), and cross-talk between GCGR-mediated signals and signaling pathways that regulate cancer cell fate has been unveiled. In the current study, expression of GCGR in colon cancer cell lines and colon cancer tissue obtained from patients was demonstrated. Glucagon significantly promoted colon cancer cell growth, and GCGR knockdown with small interfering RNA attenuated the proliferation-promoting effect of glucagon on colon cancer cells. Molecular assays showed that glucagon acted as an activator of cancer cell growth through deactivation of AMPK and activation of MAPK in a GCGR-dependent manner. Moreover, a stable GCGR knockdown mouse colon cancer cell line, CMT93, grew significantly slower than control in a syngeneic mouse model of type 2 diabetes with glycemia and hyperglucagonemia. The present observations provide experimental evidence that hyperglucagonemia in type 2 diabetes promotes colon cancer progression via GCGR-mediated regulation of AMPK and MAPK pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exploits the reaction between photosensitizer and irradiated light to generate potentially therapeutic reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen in cancer cells. We have reported several sugar-conjugated chlorins that express stronger antitumor effects in PDT than talaporfin sodium (TS), a second-generation photosensitizer clinically used in Japan. In this study, we developed a novel glucose-conjugated chlorin e6 (G-chlorin e6) and evaluated its antitumor effects. METHODS G-chlorin e6 was synthesized with a core photosensitizer chlorin e6 conjugated to glucose. We measured the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) to compare the PDT effects of G-chlorin e6 and TS, and flow cytometry was performed to examine the accumulation of G-chlorin e6 in cancer cells. We also compared the accumulation of G-chlorin e6 between normal immortalized esophageal epithelial cells and esophageal cancer cells. Antitumor effects of G-chlorin e6 PDT were finally analyzed in allograft tumor mouse models. RESULTS PDT in vitro using G-chlorin e6 elicited 9, 000-34,000 times stronger antitumor effects than TS, and there was 70-190 times more G-chlorin e6 accumulated than TS by flow cytometry. G-chlorin e6 accumulated more selectively in esophageal cancer cells than in esophageal immortalized epithelial cells, and in an allograft model, PDT with G-chlorin e6 showed very strong antitumor effects and a 40% complete response (CR) rate. CONCLUSIONS G-chlorin e6 showed excellent tumor selectivity, and PDT using G-chlorin e6 revealed the strongest anti-tumor effects among all sugar-conjugated chlorins that we have studied. G-chlorin e6 is considered to be the best photosensitizer for next-generation PDT.

Abstract
Imatinib, a multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is used as the standard initial therapy against inoperable gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). However, GIST can acquire resistance to imatinib within several years of therapy. The development of oncolytic reovirus as an anticancer agent has expanded to many clinical trials for various tumors. Here, we investigated whether reovirus has antitumor activity against GIST cells in the setting of imatinib sensitivity in vitro and in vivo. Cell proliferation and apoptosis assays were performed using a human GIST cell line, GIST-T1, and imatinib-resistant GIST (GIST-IR) cells that we established. The molecular pathways responsible for cell damage by reovirus were explored using PCR-arrays and Western blots. Reovirus significantly induced apoptotic cell death in GIST-T1 and GIST-IR cells in vitro, despite differences in the activation of receptor tyrosine kinase pathways between GIST-T1 and GIST-IR. Molecular assays indicated the possibility that reovirus induces apoptotic cell death via Fas signaling. Furthermore, in vivo mouse tumor xenograft models demonstrated a significant anti-tumor effect of reovirus on both GIST-T1 and GIST-IR cells. Our results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of reovirus against GIST.

Abstract
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is related to numerous pathophysiological events. We previously reported that a RING ubiquitin ligase complex scaffold protein, cullin-3 (CUL3), and one of its adaptor proteins, BAZF, regulated angiogenesis in the mouse retina by suppressing Notch signaling. However, the degree of inhibition of angiogenesis was made greater by CUL3 depletion than by BAZF depletion, suggesting other roles of CUL3 in angiogenesis besides the regulation of Notch signaling. In the present study, we found that CUL3 was critical for the cell surface level of integrin β1, an essential cell adhesion molecule for angiogenesis in HUVECs. By siRNA screening of 175 BTBPs, a family of adaptor proteins for CUL3, we found that ANKFY1/Rabankyrin-5, an early endosomal BTBP, was also critical for localization of surface integrin β1 and angiogenesis. CUL3 interacted with ANKFY1 and was required for the early endosomal localization of ANKFY1. These data suggest that CUL3/ANKFY1 regulates endosomal membrane traffic of integrin β1. Our results highlight the multiple roles of CUL3 in angiogenesis, which are mediated through distinct CUL3-adaptor proteins.

Abstract
AT motif binding factor 1 (ATBF1) is a transcriptional regulator that functions as a tumour suppressor to negatively affect cancer cell growth. In the present study four specific polyclonal antibodies against ATBF1 were generated, and the expression and intracellular localization of ATBF1 in colonic mucosae, polyps, adenoma and adenocarcinoma tissue samples were investigated. The four polyclonal antibodies produced were as follows: MB34 and MB49, which recognize the N- and C-terminal fragments of ATBF1, respectively; and D1-120 and MB44, which recognize the middle fragments of ATBF1 that contain three nuclear localization signals (NLS). In total, 191 colon samples were examined by immunohistochemical analysis. In addition, colon cancer cells were transfected with four ATBF1 expression vectors, and the subcellular localization of each fragment was examined. Normal colon mucosal cells were not observed to express ATBF1. However, a small number of hyperplastic polyps, serrated adenomas and tubular adenomas expressed ATBF1. Colon cancer cells were observed to express D1-120- and MB44-reactive middle fragments of ATBF1 in their cell nuclei. However, the N- and C-terminal fragments of ATBF1 did not translocate to the nucleus. Transfection of ATBF1 fragments revealed cleavage of the ATBF1 protein and nuclear translocation of the cleaved middle portion containing the NLS. A positive correlation between the cytoplasmic localization of the N- and C-termini of ATBF1, nuclear localization of the middle portion of ATBF1 and malignant cancer cell invasion was observed. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that alterations in the expression and subcellular localization of ATBF1, as a result of post-transcriptional modifications, are associated with malignant features of colon tumours.

Abstract
e15077 Background: Clinical use of ctDNA has been become an important criterion for patient care. The transfer of this knowledge and technology from top clinical labs to local hospitals is still distant. With the goal of a robust, precise, simple and cost-effective genomic test, we designed a prospective study featuring high-sensitive mutation screening of ctDNA from RAS-wild mCRC with digital PCR (dPCR) technology. This approach allows detection of 85 hotspot mutations of KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA, which are present in approximately 60% of CRC, and is clinically important information for anti-EGFR treatment. Methods: 18 “ RAS-wildtype” mCRC patients, initially diagnosed with PCR-rSSO (RASKET) using CRC FFPE samples, were recruited. After extracting ctDNA from patient plasma, dPCR analysis was conducted with LBx Probes. Results: Mutations in KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA, were detected in 5 samples ( KRAS in 3 samples, NRAS in 1 sample, BRAF in 1 sample, and PIK3CA in 2 samples). In a patient undergoing treatment with panitumumab, two different KRAS clones were detected, indicating possible clonal evolution under drug pressure. Interestingly, we also encountered another patient who had never received anti-EGFR antibodies, but who tested RAS mutation-positive at a level below the detection sensitivity of PCR-rSSO. Conclusions: Our dPCR screening with ctDNA was able to identify mutations successfully in a previously-diagnosed “ RAS-wild” mCRC group. Based on these results, we designed the following test, which with <0.1% mutation sensitivity, would be useful for 1) predicting the efficacy of anti-EGFR antibodies prior to treatment; 2) predicting early emergence of acquired resistance to EGFR blockade; and 3) monitoring disease progression during treatment.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial (VE)‐cadherin, a major endothelial adhesion molecule, regulates vascular permeability, and increased vascular permeability has been observed in several cancers. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of the NEDD8‐Cullin E3 ligase, in maintaining barrier permeability. To this end, we investigated the effects of the inhibition of Cullin E3 ligases, by using inhibitors and knockdown techniques in HUVECs. Furthermore, we analyzed the mRNA and protein levels of the ligases by quantitative RT‐PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The results revealed that NEDD8‐conjugated Cullin 3 is required for VE‐cadherin‐mediated endothelial barrier functions. Treatment of HUVECs with MLN4924, a chemical inhibitor of the NEDD8‐activating enzyme, led to high vascular permeability due to impaired cell–cell contact. Similar results were obtained when HUVECs were treated with siRNA directed against Cullin 3, one of the target substrates of NEDD8. Immunocytochemical staining showed that both treatments equally depleted VE‐cadherin protein localized at the cell–cell borders. However, quantitative RT‐PCR showed that there was no significant difference in the VE‐cadherin mRNA levels between the treatment and control groups. In addition, cycloheximide chase assay revealed that the half‐life of VE‐cadherin protein was dramatically reduced by Cullin 3 depletion. Together, these findings suggest that neddylated Cullin 3 plays a crucial role in endothelial cell barrier function by regulating VE‐cadherin.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to compare the therapeutic effects of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), rabeprazole (RPZ), and a prokinetic agent, itopride (ITO), and to investigate the role of PPI in the treatment strategy for Japanese functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. We randomly assigned 134 patients diagnosed by Rome III criteria to 4 weeks treatment with RPZ 10 mg/day (n = 69) or ITO 150 mg/day (n = 65). Dyspeptic symptoms were evaluated using FD scores at baseline and after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. We also divided subjects into predominantly epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) or postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), and evaluated the efficacy of RPZ and ITO respectively. RPZ showed a significant decrease in the Rate of Change (RC) in FD score within 1 week, which was maintained until after 4 weeks, with RPZ a significant effect compared with ITO at all evaluation points. In addition, RPZ showed a significant decrease in FD score in subjects with both EPS and PDS, whereas a significant decrease in the RC with ITO was only shown in those with predominant PDS. Acid-suppressive therapy with RPZ is useful for PDS as well EPS in Japanese FD patients (UMIN Clinical Trials Registry number: UMIN 000013962).

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Resistance against cisplatin is a problem for the success of gastric cancer chemotherapy. Herein, we evaluated the antitumor effect of a new aminosugar-conjugated, mono-functional platinum complex (Pt-Oqn), which forms a single covalent bond with DNA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the cytotoxicity of Pt-Oqn to that of cisplatin (CDDP), oxaliplatin (L-OHP) and carboplatin (CBDCA). We also compared Pt-Oqn and cisplatin for DNA double-strand breaks based on phosphorylated histone H2AX levels in cancer cells and antitumor effects in xenograft models. RESULTS The resistance factor (RF) for Pt-Oqn was low among the four drugs, indicating the potential of Pt-Oqn for overcoming CDDP-induced resistance. In MKN45-R cells, γ-H2AX protein increased following treatment with Pt-Oqn, but not with cisplatin. Finally, Pt-Oqn, but not cisplatin, showed significant antitumor effects in MKN45-R xenografts. CONCLUSION This new aminosugar-conjugated platinum complex is a promising candidate agent for overcoming the drug resistance of cisplatin-resistant stomach cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal endoscopy and Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) eradication therapy are commonly performed even among the elderly population. The aim of this study was to understand the way endoscopists viewed the application of endoscopy and H. pylori eradication in the elderly of East Asian countries. METHODS Self-administered questionnaires containing 13 questions on endoscopy and H. pylori eradication in the elderly were distributed to major institutions in Japan, South Korea, China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. RESULTS Two hundred and fifteen endoscopists (111 in Japan, 39 in China, 24 in Korea, 21 in Indonesia, and 20 in the Philippines) participated in this study. In the institutions where these endoscopists were associated, around 50% of patients undergoing endoscopy were above the age of 60 years. The participating endoscopists indicated that the necessity of screening esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy was lower in populations aged over 81 than the other age groups. They hesitated to perform therapeutic endoscopy, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, more often in patients over 85. They also hesitated to perform H. pylori eradication in patients aged over 81, especially in Japan. CONCLUSION Endoscopists had significantly different attitudes regarding the indications for screening or therapeutic endoscopy and H. pylori eradication therapy in younger and elderly populations in East Asian countries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The significance of the ectopic gastric phenotype remains unclear in patients with colorectal laterally spreading tumors (LSTs). We investigated clinicopathologic differences among LST subtypes, aiming to identify factors indicative of malignant transformation and invasion that are linked to ectopic gastric phenotype and tumor progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the morphologic characteristics of 105 colorectal LSTs resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. LSTs were classified into 2 subtypes: granular (G-LST) and nongranular (NG-LST). Resected LSTs were analyzed histologically and were immunohistochemically stained for MUC5AC, MUC6, chromogranin A, CD10, and SOX2. RESULTS The 105 LSTs included 60 G-LSTs and 45 NG-LSTs. By histology, G-LSTs comprised 5 adenomas with low-grade dysplasia (LAs), 45 adenomas with high-grade dysplasia (HAs), and 10 adenocarcinomas invading the submucosa (SMs). NG-LSTs comprised 8 LAs, 25 HAs, and 12 SMs. MUC5AC positivity was significantly higher in G-LSTs compared to NG-LSTs (P = .002), and MUC5AC positivity in HA lesions was significantly higher than in LA lesions (P = .01). MUC6 and SOX2 positivity in SM G-LSTs, and chromogranin A positivity in SM NG-LSTs were significantly higher than in HAs (P = .01, .01, and .03, respectively). CD10 positivity in SM NG-LSTs was significantly higher than in HAs and LAs (P = .02 and .01, respectively). CONCLUSION Ectopic gastric and intestinal phenotypes, neuroendocrine cell differentiation, and SOX2 expression differ according to tumor grade in colorectal LSTs, and these markers are correlated with early tumor progression in each LST subtype.

Abstract
There is little evidence regarding the maintenance of long-term clinical remission by adalimumab (ADA) therapy in Crohn's disease (CD) patients naïve to anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment (naïve CD patients), since most CD patients are treated with ADA after infliximab (IFX) therapy. The long-term clinical response to ADA was retrospectively analyzed in 17 naïve CD patients for at least 24 months, and the serum trough IFX levels were evaluated in patients switching from ADA to IFX. Of the 17 naïve CD patients, 14 (82.4%) maintained long-term clinical remission with ADA therapy for at least 24 months, without serious adverse events. The clinical condition of 7 patients was observed for more than 36 months, and 3, 1, 1, and 2 cases maintained remission at months 42, 48, 54, and 60 after ADA therapy, respectively. Three patients (17.6%) switched from ADA to IFX less than 24 months after the start of ADA therapy, and they had remission, retaining trough levels of IFX higher than 1 μg/ml, occasionally by dose escalation. In conclusion, maintenance ADA therapy achieves long-term clinical remission in naïve CD patients. Switching from ADA to IFX is an important therapeutic option in CD patients showing loss of response to ADA, occasionally with dose escalation, based on the analysis of serum IFX trough levels.

Abstract
Some patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease experience persistent reflux symptoms despite proton pump inhibitor therapy. These symptoms reduce their health-related quality of life. Our aims were to evaluate the relationship between proton pump inhibitor efficacy and health-related quality of life and to evaluate predictive factors affecting treatment response in Japanese patients. Using the gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire, 145 gastroesophageal reflux disease patients undergoing proton pump inhibitor therapy were evaluated and classified as responders or partial-responders. Their health-related quality of life was then evaluated using the 8-item Short Form Health Survey, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaires. Sixty-nine patients (47.6%) were partial responders. These patients had significantly lower scores than responders in 5/8 subscales and in the mental health component summary of the 8-item Short Form Health Survey. Partial responders had significantly higher Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores, including anxiety and depression scores, than those of responders. Non-erosive reflux disease and double proton pump inhibitor doses were predictive factors of partial responders. Persistent reflux symptoms, despite proton pump inhibitor therapy, caused mental health disorders, sleep disorders, and psychological distress in Japanese gastroesophageal reflux disease patients.

Abstract
The long-term efficacy and safety of adalimumab (ADA) for the treatment of intestinal Behcet's disease (BD) in the clinical setting have not been evaluated previously. This retrospective study evaluated the 52-week efficacy of ADA in BD patients. A total of eight patients who were refractory to conventional therapy were given ADA (160/80/40 mg every other week). Marked improvement (MI) was achieved by 10 weeks in five patients (62.5%), and by 52 weeks in six patients (75%). In addition, complete remission was obtained in two patients (25%) at both 10 and 52 weeks. Improvement of global gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms to score 0 was observed in three patients (37.5%) at 10 weeks and four patients (50%) at 52 weeks. Moreover, improvement of endoscopic assessment to score 0 was also seen in four patients (50%) at both 10 and 52 weeks. No adverse events were observed in any patients during the 52 weeks. In conclusion, ADA offers an effective, well-tolerated treatment for intestinal BD in patients who are refractory to conventional therapy.

Abstract
The patient was a 48-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed as having systemic lupus erythematosus at the age of 21 years when she presented with fever and an erythematous skin rash on her face and extremities. Prednisolone was initiated at that time. Thirteen days before admission to our hospital, she was referred to us by her family physician. Upon admission, blood tests showed pancytopenia, hypocomplementemia, and renal dysfunction, as well as the presence of lupus anticoagulant. Urinalysis showed abundant proteinuria and heavy microscopic hematuria. After performing a renal biopsy, we initiated immunosuppressive therapy and an anticoagulant. On the 22nd hospital day, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia appeared with the progression of thrombocytopenia and renal failure, and the patient subsequently underwent ten sessions of plasma exchange. After the commencement of the plasma exchange, her general condition improved. Her renal dysfunction, however, continued to progress, and hemodialysis was started on the 36th hospital day. The light microscopy showed severe endo- and extra-capillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with abundant crescents, and massive thrombi in the capillary lumen of the glomeruli. The arterioles contained occlusive hyaline materials. An immunofluorescence study showed granular staining of immunoglobulins and complements along the glomerular capillary wall. An electron microscopy examination revealed the presence of electron-dense deposits in the subepithelial and intramembranous areas of the glomeruli, but subendothelial deposits were absent. For cases with lupus nephritis (LN), immunosuppressive therapy based on corticosteroid remains the mainstay of treatment. However, immunosuppression alone may be insufficient when antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) are also present, and other treatment modalities including antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation, and plasma exchange are likely to be necessary, as illustrated by the present case. Although the mechanism responsible for LN remains uncertain, we report a case of LN suggesting that TMA is associated with renal dysfunction.

Abstract
Background The efficacy and safety of combination therapy with adalimumab (ADA) plus intensive granulocyte and monocyte adsorptive apheresis (GMA) (two sessions per week) for the treatment of refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) have not been previously evaluated. Methods This retrospective study evaluated the 10-week efficacy of combination therapy with ADA plus intensive GMA on refractory UC patients, on clinical outcomes over 52 weeks under subsequent maintenance monotherapy of ADA, and the effect of combined azathioprine (AZA) with ADA at failure to achieve clinical remission at 10 weeks and at flare-up by 52 weeks. Ten patients were given initial combination therapy of ADA (160/80/40 mg every other week) plus intensive GMA. One patient received total colectomy because of poor response. Results Of nine patients who received this combination therapy, 55.6% displayed cumulative clinical remission at 10 weeks and 33.3% displayed such remission at 52 weeks under subsequent maintenance monotherapy of ADA. The percentage of patients with mucosal healing at 10 weeks (endoscopy subscore ≤ 1) was 66.7%. Adverse events were observed in three patients (pneumonia, cerebral infarction and headache). Conclusion It was concluded that combination therapy with ADA plus intensive GMA is useful for induction of clinical remission in refractory UC patients, and is well tolerated.

Abstract
A 43-year-old woman, diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) at age of 30, received outpatient treatment with corticosteroids. However, flare-up occurred, and adalimumab (ADA) treatment commenced in July 2009. A complete remission with mucosal healing was achieved by 32 weeks after initiation of ADA therapy. Because of progressive skin eruptions, ADA maintenance was discontinued at 124 weeks. Regardless, complete remission with mucosal healing was maintained until 176 weeks. We concluded that ADA is an effective therapy to achieve a complete remission in a patient with steroid-refractory UC, and that long-term complete remission may be an important indication to discontinue biological therapy.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in cancer stroma play important roles for cancer cell growth, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastases. We synthesized a novel photosensitizer, mannose-conjugated chlorin (M-chlorin), designed to bind mannose receptors highly expressed on TAMs. We evaluated the newly available photodynamic therapy (PDT) with M-chlorin against gastric and colon cancer. We evaluated PDT with M-chlorin for in vitro cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction in cancer cells compared with chlorin alone and glucose-conjugated chlorin (G-chlorin). The subcellular localization of M-chlorin was observed by confocal microscopy, and the M-chlorin PDT effects against TAMs including THP-1-induced M2-polarized macrophages were evaluated. Anticancer effects were also investigated in an allograft model where cytotoxic effects against TAMs in the cancer cell stroma were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. M-chlorin PDT strongly induced cell death in cancer cells to almost the same extent as G-chlorin PDT by inducing apoptosis. M-chlorin was incorporated into cancer cells where it localized mainly in lysosomes and endoplasmic reticula. M-chlorin PDT revealed strong cytotoxicity for M2 macrophages induced from THP-1 cell lines, and it induced stronger cytotoxicity than G-chlorin PDT in the allograft model through killing both cancer cells and TAMs in the cancer stroma. The M-chlorin PDT produced strong cytotoxicity against cancer tissue by inducing apoptosis of both cancer cells and TAMs in the cancer stroma. This novel PDT thus stands as a new candidate for very effective, next-generation PDT.
