Abstract
The OPERA experiment was designed to discover the vτ appearance in a vμ beam, due to neutrino oscillations. The detector, located in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory, consisted of a nuclear photographic emulsion/lead target with a mass of about 1.25 kt, complemented by electronic detectors. It was exposed from 2008 to 2012 to the CNGS beam: an almost pure vμ beam with a baseline of 730 km, collecting a total of 1.8·1020 protons on target. The OPERA Collaboration eventually assessed the discovery of vμ→vτ oscillations with a statistical significance of 6.1 σ by observing ten vτ CC interaction candidates. These events have been published on the Open Data Portal at CERN. This paper provides a detailed description of the vτ data sample to make it usable by the whole community.

Abstract
We describe a successful surgical technique of abdominal trachelectomy and re-vaginoplasty for cervico-vaginal stenosis following unsuccessful uterovaginal anastomosis and vaginoplasty in a patient with congenital cervical and vaginal aplasia. After the surgical procedure, cervico-vaginal stenosis was resolved and periodic menstruation without dysmenorrhoea resumed. While long-term follow-up is essential to ensure successful pregnancy and delivery, we conclude that this novel surgical procedure is a promising alternative for improvement of the quality of life and normal sexual function, and for preservation of fertility in patients with cervical and vaginal aplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumour budding is an important prognostic feature in early-stage colorectal cancer, but its prognostic significance in metastatic disease has not been fully investigated. METHODS Patients with stage IV disease who had primary colorectal tumour resection without previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy from January 2000 to December 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Budding was evaluated at the primary site and graded according to the criteria of the International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference (ITBCC) (BD1, low; BD2, intermediate; BD3, high). Patients were categorized by metastatic (M1a, M1b) and resectional (R0/R1, R2/unresected) status. Subgroups were compared for overall (OS) and recurrence-free (RFS) survival in R0/R1 subgroups; R2/unresected patients were evaluated for the rate of tumour progression, based on change in tumour size from baseline. RESULTS Of 371 patients observed during the study, 362 were analysed. Patients with BD3 had a lower 5-year OS rate than those with BD1 + BD2 (18·4 versus 40·5 per cent; P < 0·001). Survival analyses according to metastatic and resection status also showed that BD3 was associated with shorter OS than BD1 + BD2. In multivariable analysis, BD3 (hazard ratio (HR) 1·51, 95 per cent c.i. 1·11 to 2·10; P = 0·009), T4 status (HR 1·39) and R2/unresected status (HR 3·50) were associated with decreased OS. In the R0/R1 subgroup, the 2-year RFS rate was similar for BD3 and BD1 + BD2 according to metastatic status. There was no significant difference between BD3 and BD1 + BD2 for change in tumour size in the R2/unresected subgroup (P = 0·094). Of 141 patients with initially unresectable metastases who had chemotherapy, 35 achieved conversion from unresectable to resectable status. The conversion rate was significantly higher for BD1 + BD2 than for BD3 (36 versus 18 per cent; P = 0·016). CONCLUSION Stage IV colorectal cancer with high-grade tumour budding according to ITBCC criteria correlates with poor prognosis.

Abstract
The OPERA experiment was designed to study ν_{μ}→ν_{τ} oscillations in the appearance mode in the CERN to Gran Sasso Neutrino beam (CNGS). In this Letter, we report the final analysis of the full data sample collected between 2008 and 2012, corresponding to 17.97×10^{19} protons on target. Selection criteria looser than in previous analyses have produced ten ν_{τ} candidate events, thus reducing the statistical uncertainty in the measurement of the oscillation parameters and of ν_{τ} properties. A multivariate approach for event identification has been applied to the candidate events and the discovery of ν_{τ} appearance is confirmed with an improved significance level of 6.1σ. |Δm_{32}^{2}| has been measured, in appearance mode, with an accuracy of 20%. The measurement of the ν_{τ} charged-current cross section, for the first time with a negligible contamination from ν[over ¯]_{τ}, and the first direct evidence for the ν_{τ} lepton number are also reported.

Abstract
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a cell surface molecule specific to Gram-positive bacteria. How LTA localises on the cell surface is a fundamental issue in view of recognition and immunomodulation in hosts. In the present study, we examined LTA localisation using strain JCM 1131T of Lactobacillus gasseri, which is a human intestinal lactic acid bacterium, during various growth phases by immunoelectron microscopy. We first evaluated the specificity of anti-LTA monoclonal antibody clone 55 used as a probe. The glycerophosphate backbone comprising almost intact size (20 to 30 repeating units) of LTA was required for binding. The antibody did not bind to other cellular components, including wall-teichoic acid. Immunoelectron microscopy indicated that LTA was embedded in the cell wall during the logarithmic phase, and was therefore not exposed on the cell surface. Similar results were observed for Lactobacillus fermentum ATCC 9338 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 7469T. By contrast, membrane vesicles were observed in the logarithmic phase of L. gasseri with LTA exposed on their surface. In the stationary and death phases, LTA was exposed on cell wall-free cell membrane generated by autolysis. The dramatic alternation of localisation in different growth phases and exposure on the surface of membrane vesicles should relate with complicated interaction between bacteria and host.

Abstract
The OPERA experiment was designed to search for ν_{μ}→ν_{τ} oscillations in appearance mode, i.e., by detecting the τ leptons produced in charged current ν_{τ} interactions. The experiment took data from 2008 to 2012 in the CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso beam. The observation of the ν_{μ}→ν_{τ} appearance, achieved with four candidate events in a subsample of the data, was previously reported. In this Letter, a fifth ν_{τ} candidate event, found in an enlarged data sample, is described. Together with a further reduction of the expected background, the candidate events detected so far allow us to assess the discovery of ν_{μ}→ν_{τ} oscillations in appearance mode with a significance larger than 5σ.

Abstract
The risk factors for recurrence of head and neck cancer are classified as being of high or intermediate risk. Those of intermediate risk include multiple positive nodes without extracapsular nodal spread, perineural/vascular invasion, pT3/T4 primary tumours, and positive level IV/V nodes. However, little evidence is available to validate these intermediate risk factors. We analyzed perineural/vascular invasion in 89 patients who underwent radical surgery for oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma, whose records were reviewed retrospectively. Perineural invasion was found in 27.0% of cases and vascular invasion in 23.6%; both had a strong relationship with histopathological nodal status (P = 0.005). The 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival rates of patients with perineural invasion were significantly lower than those of patients without perineural invasion (P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). The 5-year DSS of UICC stage I and II cases with perineural/vascular invasion was significantly lower than those without (P < 0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively). Perineural invasion and vascular invasion are risk factors for regional metastasis and a poor prognosis. We recommend elective neck dissection when perineural/vascular invasion is found in clinical stage I and II cases. The accumulation of further evidence to consider intermediate risks is required.

Abstract
Nodal metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is considered to be a predictor of a poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the number of positive lymph nodes and the prognosis in OSCC patients with nodal metastases and to assess the effects of postoperative radiotherapy (RT) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) on this patient group. A retrospective investigation of 98 patients with OSCC who underwent radical neck dissection and had at least three pathologically positive lymph nodes was performed. The 5-year disease-specific survival rate was 66.7% for patients with 3 positive nodes, while it was significantly lower for those with 4 positive nodes and those with ≥ 5 positive nodes (21.5% and 46.1%, respectively; P < 0.01). The loco-regional control and disease-specific survival rates for the surgery alone, surgery plus RT, and surgery plus CCRT groups were 46.2% and 40.5%, 66.3% and 54.4%, and 81.7% and 52.4%, respectively. For patients with ≥ 4 positive nodes, the loco-regional control rate after surgery plus CCRT was better than that observed after surgery alone (77.5% vs. 32.6%, P = 0.01). Postoperative RT and CCRT have positive impacts on the prognosis of OSCC patients with advanced stage neck disease.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to display the lingual artery superimposed on the anatomical image and to confirm its course and relation to the adjacent structures, noninvasively. Nineteen volunteers participated in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study and one was excluded for excessive movement during scanning. A three-dimensional phase-contrast sequence (3D-PC) of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) was used for vessel images, and a 3D-T1 high-resolution volume examination (THRIVE) was used for anatomical images. Colour-coded vessel images from 3D-PC MRA were superimposed on the 3D volume anatomical images, and the arterial course and relation to the adjacent structures were confirmed with multiplanar reconstructed cross-sectional (MPR) images. 3D-PC MRA images visualized the lingual artery in all 18 subjects and the sublingual artery in 14 subjects. In seven of 18 cases the bilateral sublingual arteries were shown to run side by side but had no contact with the sublingual veins. They ran together with the sublingual veins in four cases. Three cases showed irregular patterns. The bilateral sublingual arteries could not be identified in four cases. 3D-PC MRA images of the lingual artery superimposed on the anatomical images may be clinically useful to confirm its course and relationship to the adjacent structures before surgery, in order to prevent haemorrhage.

Abstract
A 75-year-old man was diagnosed as having pancreatic ductal carcinoma containing remarkable lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltration, as revealed by the cytological examination of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) specimen. The EUS-FNA specimen showed small amounts of atypical epithelium with noticeable lymphocytes and plasma cells. A pancreatic resection was performed, and the histopathological features showed an invasive pancreatic ductal carcinoma with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis (LPSP)-like lesions. Most of the plasma cells were immunoreactive to anti-IgG4 antibody. EUS-FNA may be necessary for the differential diagnosis of AIP and pancreatic cancer, and close attention should be given to the presence of marked lymphoplasmacytic cells in EUS-FNA specimens while making the diagnosis.

Abstract
In view of recent tremendous advance in astronomical observations in the submillimeter to THz region brought by the Herschel space craft, laboratory high-resolution spectroscopic investigations in that frequency region into unstable molecules, in particular, light hydride ions, are urgently needed. As a part of such endeavor, rotational transitions of H(2)F(+) were observed in the THz-region by using a tunable far-infrared spectrometer. These newly detected lines together with the submillimeter-wave lines obtained previously and the combination differences derived from infrared vibration-rotation lines were subject to a least-squares analysis that yielded a set of molecular constants with much better accuracy. The measured and predicted THz transition frequencies should prove to be a useful probe into detection of interstellar H(2)F(+).

Abstract
To examine the status of cell cycle-inhibitory genes in human prostate carcinoma, we investigated alterations of RE (retinoblastoma), p16/CDKN2 and p15(INK4B) genes in 32 adenocarcinomas with immunohistochemistry. PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was used to examine all 27 exons of the RE gene, exons 1 to 3 of the p16/CDKN2 gene and exons 1 and 2 of the p15(INK4B) gene for mutations. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for the RE gene was probed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. In addition, coordinate samples were subjected to immunohistochemical studies for reactivity to RE and p16 protein. The RE gene alterations were detected in 5 of the 32 tumors (16%); of these, only one mutation, a missense substitution, occurred within an exon. The remaining four single base insertions or deletions were found within introns of the RE gene and no mutational event was detected in its promoter region. LOH involving intron 17 of RB was detected in three cases of 10 informative tumors (30%). Intragenic mutations were also present in 3 of the 32 tumors in the p16/CDKN2 gene. In contrast, no mutational events were found in the p15(INK4B) gene in the tumors. Only one tumor had both a p16/CDKN2 mutation and LOH of the RE gene. Expression of pRB was absent or reduced in 16 cancers, while p16 expression was present in all cases to varying degrees. The results suggest that p16/CDKN2 gene mutations occur rarely and intragenic mutation, but not LOH,of the RE gene is not required in prostatic tumorigenesis.

Abstract
High expression ratios of CD44 variant 6 (CD44 V6) in patients with metastatic pulmonary tumor were found in those with primary lesions of cancer of the colon, uterus, larynx, liver and osteosarcoma. It was clarified that patients showing expression of CD44 variant 6 likely revealed pulmonary metastasis at earlier time following operations of primary cancer (p<0.05). CD44 V6, an adhesion molecule, was a factor to participate in pulmonary metastases from various organ cancers. No significant correlation was observed in survival between patients with CD44 V6 positive versus negative tumors, except laryngeal tumor after resection of primary or metastatic lung tumor. CD44 V6 related to its invasive and further metastatic functions in metastatic lung tumor. We suggest that cancer cells expressing the CD44 molecule especially V6 may adhere to vascular endothelium and hyaluronic acid in the lung. And cancer cells without this molecule liberated from the primary focuses hardly adhere to the pulmonary tissues supposedly resulting in delayed metastases and proliferations in the pulmonary tissues.

Abstract
A robust method for inducing bone formation from adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) has not been established. Moreover, the efficacy of strong osteogenic inducers including BMP-2 for ADSC-mediated bone engineering remains controversial. Meanwhile, the buccal fat pad (BFP), which is found in the oral cavity as an adipose-encapsulated mass, has been shown to have potential as a new accessible source of ADSCs for oral surgeons. However, to date, there have been no reports that define the practical usefulness of ADSCs from BFP (B-ADSCs) for bone engineering. Here, we report an efficient method of generating bone from B-ADSCs using rhBMP-2. The analyses show that B-ADSCs can differentiate in vitro toward the osteoblastic lineage by the addition of rhBMP-2 to culture medium, regardless of the presence of osteoinductive reagents (OSR), as demonstrated by measurements of ALP activity, in vitro calcification, and osteogenic gene expression. Interestingly, adipogenic genes were clearly detectable only in cultures with rhBMP-2 and OSR. However, in vivo bone formation was most substantial when B-ADSCs cultured in this condition were transplanted. Thus, B-ADSCs reliably formed engineered bone when pre-treated with rhBMP-2 for inducing mature osteoblastic differentiation. This study supports the potential translation for B-ADSC use in the clinical treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between vascularity within lymph nodes and lymph node size on Doppler ultrasound images of patients with oral cancer. METHODS A total of 310 lymph nodes (86 metastatic, 224 benign) from 63 patients with oral cancer were classified into 4 groups according to their short axis diameters: Group 1, short axis diameters of 4-5 mm; Group 2, 6-7 mm; Group 3, 8-9 mm; and Group 4, ≥ 10 mm. Vascular and scattering indices of lymph nodes on Doppler ultrasound images were analysed quantitatively. The vascular index was defined as the ratio of blood flow area to the whole lymph node area and the scattering index was defined as the number of isolated blood flow signal units. RESULTS For metastatic lymph nodes, the vascular index was highest in Group 1 and decreased as lymph node size increased. The vascular index of benign lymph nodes did not differ significantly among the four groups. The vascular index of metastatic lymph nodes was significantly higher than that of benign lymph nodes in Group 1. For metastatic lymph nodes, the scattering index increased as lymph node size increased and was significantly higher than that of benign lymph nodes in Groups 2-4. CONCLUSIONS An increase in vascularity is a characteristic of Doppler ultrasound findings in small metastatic lymph nodes. As the metastatic lymph node size increases, blood flow signals become scattered, and the scattering index increases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, the number of hemodialysis patients has been continuously increasing. At the same time, the use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer has also increased. However, reports of the outcome of VATS in hemodialysis patients are still quite rare. METHODS From 1995 to 2011, 14 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who were also receiving hemodialysis underwent lung resection by open thoracotomy or VATS at our institution. These patients were divided into two groups as follows: open (five men and four women, mean age: 68.7 years) and (2) VATS (three men and two women, mean age: 64.0 years). We compared the clinical outcomes of these two groups. RESULTS Lobectomy was performed in eight patients in the open group, including one patient who also underwent a pneumonectomy, and in four patients in the VATS group, including one who also underwent a wedge resection. There were no significant difference between the groups' operation times, intraoperative blood loss, length of postoperative chest drainage, and length of postoperative hospitalization. There were no hospital deaths in either group. The 5-year survival rate was 42.9% in the open group and 37.5% in the VATS group. This difference was not significant (P=0.73). CONCLUSION VATS lung resection for lung cancer patients on hemodialysis is considered an acceptable treatment modality, though the long-term survival rate of such patients is relatively low, which can be attributed to the diseases underlying the need for hemodialysis.

Abstract
Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) is one of the final options for saving patients with pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We retrospectively investigated 19 patients who had undergone LDLLT after HSCT in Japan. Eight patients underwent LDLLT after HSCT in which one of the donors was the same living donor as in HSCT (SD group), while 11 received LDLLT from relatives who were not the HSCT donors (non-SD group). In the SD group, three patients underwent single LDLLT. The 5-year survival rate was 100% and 58% in the SD and non-SD groups, respectively. In the SD group, postoperative immunosuppression was significantly lower than in the non-SD group. Two patients died of infection and one died of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) in the non-SD group, while only one patient died of PTLD 7 years after LDLLT in the SD group. Hematologic malignancy relapsed in two patients in the non-SD group. For the three single LDLLTs in the SD group, immunosuppression was carefully tapered. In our study, LDLLT involving the same donor as for HSCT appeared to have advantages related to lower immunosuppression compared to LDLLT from relatives who were not the HSCT donors.

Abstract
ABSTRACTX-ray scattering data obtained for multiple wavelengths with synchrotron radiation were analyzed by the Rietveld method to determine Ni and Pd distributions on the Cu(000) and Au(½½½) sites in the CuAuI tetragonal P4/mmm structure. Alloys of CuAuxM1-x containing 6 at. % Ni or 10 and 25 at. % Pd were processed to obtain maximum ordering. Nickel is predominantly found on the Cu site and most all the Pd is found on the Au site. The uncertainty in site occupation parameters is discussed for various contributions which affect powder intensity measurements. For highly absorbing materials, an observed powder roughness effect decreases the low angle (2θ) intensities relative to the high 2θ intensities. This effect reduces the reliability of the thermal parameters and obscures a proper description of the thermal motion of the two sublattices. Corrections to the X-ray intensity data for surface roughness/porosity effects reduce uncertainties to about ±1 at. % on the refined value of the site occupations. This use of variable wavelength X-rays with simultaneous refinement of the corresponding data is capable of distinguishing site occupations even between two elements of almost equal scattering factor as, for example, Cu and Ni atoms in this investigation. Chemical phase stability is related to the site occupation parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in T2 values and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the masseter muscle by clenching in healthy volunteers. METHODS 37 volunteers were enrolled in the study. We measured bite force using pressure-sensitive paper and a T2 map. The ADC map was obtained at rest, during clenching, immediately after and 5 min after clenching. The spin-echo sequence was used to calculate T2, and single-shot spin-echo echo planar imaging was used to calculate the ADC. The motion-probing gradients (MPGs) were applied separately along the posterior-to-anterior (PA), right-to-left (RL) and superior-to-inferior (SI) directions, with b values of 0, 300 and 600 s mm(-2) in each direction. ADC-PA, ADC-RL, and ADC-SI values were obtained, and we calculated the ADC-iso for the mean diffusivity. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the stronger and weaker sides of bite force before, during or 5 min after clenching for T2 and ADC. The bite force had little effect on these parameters; thus, we used the average of the two sides for the following analyses. Time course analysis of ADC-iso, ADC-PA, ADC-RL and ADC-SI demonstrated a marked increase after clenching and a rapid decrease immediately after clenching, although they did not completely return to the initial values; however, the change in ADC-RL was significantly greater than those in ADC-PA or ADC-SI (P<0.001 each). The changes in T2 were similar to those of ADC, although not as marked. CONCLUSIONS ADC (especially ADC-RL) was altered by contraction of the masseter muscle.

Abstract
A novel method to realize an optical tweezer involving optofluidic operation in a microchannel is proposed. To manipulate the optical tweezer, light from an optical fiber is passed through both PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)-air surface lenses and an optofluidic region, which is located in a control channel. Two liquids with different refractive indices (RIs) are introduced into the control channel to form two different flow patterns (i.e., laminar and segmented flows), depending on the liquid compositions, the channel geometry, and the flow rates. By altering the shapes of the interface of the two liquids in the optofluidic region, we can continuously or intermittently control the optical paths of the light. To demonstrate the functionality of the proposed method, optical tweezer operations on a chip are performed. Changing the flow pattern of two liquids with different RIs in the optofluidic region results in successful trapping of a 25 μm diameter microsphere and its displacement by 15 μm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the clinical outcomes of patients after lung resection with pulmonary artery (PA) plasty for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS From 1995 to 2006, 36 patients (26 males and 10 females) with NSCLC underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy with PA plasty at our institution. The mean age of the patients was 65.9 years old (range 45-87 years old). There were 17 left upper lobectomies, 10 right upper lobectomies, five left lower lobectomies, two right upper-and-middle bilobectomies, one right lower lobectomy, and one left upper division segmentectomy. Both bronchoplasty and PA plasty were performed in 15 patients. Six patients received preoperative chemotherapy, and one had preoperative radiotherapy. RESULTS The postoperative morbidity rate was 27.8 % (10/36), and the mortality rate (30 days) was 2.8 % (1/36). One patient underwent completion pneumonectomy on postoperative day 13. Macroscopic residual cancer was identified in two patients at the thoracic wall and aorta, respectively; microscopic residual cancers were identified in two patients at the stumps of the pulmonary artery and in one patient at the bronchial stump. Postoperative radiation therapy was additionally given to those four patients, except one. The 5-year survival rate for all patients was 51.8 %. There was no significant difference in the 5-year survival rate between clinical N (cN) 0-1 patients and cN2 patients. However, in pathological N (pN) 0-1 patients, the 5-year survival rate was significantly better than that of pN2 patients (71.9 % versus 0.0 %; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS PA plasty for NSCLC is acceptable and highly recommended for pN0-1 patients. Strict patient selection should be considered so as to avoid surgical operations in patients with pN2 staging.

Abstract
e16022 Background: Only 20 - 30 % of patients with cisplatin (CDDP) refractory germ cell tumor (GCT) will remain continuously disease-free with salvage chemotherapy. The present study investigated the combination chemotherapy with irinotecan (Ir) and nedaplatin (CDGP), the second generation derivative of CDDP developed in Japan, as salvage chemotherapy for CDDP-refractory GCT. Methods: Between June 1998 and December 2007, 39 CDDP refractory GCT patients treated with irinotecan and CDGP (IrN therapy) were assessed retrospectively. IrN therapy consisted of Ir: 100–150 mg/m2 on day 1, 15 or 200–300 mg/m2 on day 2, CDGP: 100 mg/m2 on day 1 every four weeks with oral administration of Chinese-herb ‘Hange-shashinto’ and sodium bicarbonate for diarrhea. After tumor marker normalization, residual masses were resected and chemotherapy was continued in the case of without marker normalization. Results: The median age was 31 years old (range; 17–48). The median number of cycles of prior chemotherapy was 6 (range; 2–30). The median number of cycles of IrN therapy was 3 (range: 1–9). The response rate was 30.8% ( CR: 0%, PRm−: 15.4%, PRm+: 15.4% ) and the outcome was no evidence of disease (NED) 46.2%, alive with disease (AWD) 25.6% and dead 28.2%, respectively. Twenty-five patients with IrN therapy as 2nd (17 cases) and 3rd (8 cases) line salvage therapy showed that the response rate was 48% (CR: 0%, PRm−: 16.0%, PRm+: 16.0, NCm−: 16.0%) and the outcome was as follows; NED 64%, AWD 16% and dead 20%, respectively. On the other hand, 14 pts who had the treatment as fourth-line or more showed less response rate (PR: 28.5%) and worse outcome (NED 14.2%). Major adverse events more than grade 3 were neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. These adverse events were manageable. Grade 4 diarrhea which was major adverse event of CPT-11 was observed in only one case and there was no treatment related death. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that combination chemotherapy with CPT-11 and CDGP showed significant anticancer activity for patients with CDDP-refractory GCT without severe adverse events. These findings suggest that salvage IrN therapy may be one of the options as second- or third-line therapy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
e16163 Background: Thymidylate synthase ( TS ) is an important enzyme in de novo DNA synthesis pathway. 5-Fluorouracil ( 5-FU ), an anticancer chemotherapeutic agent used clinically against a variety of cancers including prostate cancer, inhibits DNA synthesis by binding TS. In the present study, we examined TS expression in prostate cancer and investigated its prognostic significance. Methods: Fifty-two prostate cancer tissue specimens were obtained from patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer without neoadjuvant hormonal therapy. Forty-eight prostate cancer tissue specimens were also obtained from patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer with neoadjuvant hormonal therapy. We examined prostate cancer tissue and normal prostate tissue for TS expression by immunohistochemistry. Results: TS was expressed at higher levels in prostate cancer without neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, compared with normal prostate.TS expression in stage T3 prostate cancer was higher than that in stage T2 prostate cancer. In addition, the level of TS expression in Gleason score 7 or greater prostate cancer was higher than that in Gleason score less than 7 prostate cancer. Patients with prostate cancer with negative TS expression without neoadjuvant hormonal therapy had a longer postoperative recurrence-free rate than those with positive expression in the 5 year follow-up. In addition, patients with Gleason score less than 7 prostate cancer with negative TS expression had a much longer postoperative recurrence-free rate than those with positive expression in the 5-year follow-up. TS expression was significantly decreased in prostate cancer patients who received neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, especially stage T2 prostate cancer patients. Conclusions: The current study has demonstrated for the first time that TS expression may be a prognostic parameterr for prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drainage of large amounts of shunt blood into deep veins via collaterals reduces resistance to venous outflow and decreases blood flow to the artery distal to the arterial anastomotic site, potentially resulting in steal syndrome. PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of transcatheter coil embolization for collateral veins of hemodialysis access in the treatment of steal syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five hemodialysis patients (four male, one female; mean age 58.8 years, range 40-71 years) with symptomatic steal syndrome were treated. Steal syndrome was diagnosed based on decreased or absent distal pulse, coolness, pain, abnormal skin color, ischemic ulceration of digits, numbness, sensory impairment, or motor impairment. Coil embolization was performed to block collaterals communicating with deep veins, with conscious sedation and local anesthesia. Fistulography was performed before, immediately after, and 1 month after embolization. Ultrasonography was performed 2 days after embolization. Symptoms and signs were assessed 2 days after embolization. Clinical findings related to steal syndrome and access failure were observed at each hemodialysis. RESULTS Blood flow in the collaterals was successfully blocked by coil embolization in all patients. Distal pulse, coolness, pain, and skin color improved in all patients. Numbness, sensory impairment, and motor impairment were unimproved in two patients. In all patients, hemodialysis following embolization was performed normally. The mean observation period after embolization was 33 months (range 9-75 months). CONCLUSION Coil embolization of collaterals that drain shunt blood into deep veins is effective for steal syndrome for hemodialysis access originating in the brachial artery.

Abstract
We reviewed Fukuoka University Hospital thoracic surgery data base of 60 sleeve lobectomy (SL) and 40 pneumonectomy (PN) [for T1-3 disease] for primary lung cancer during 1993-2006. Morbidity rates were 20.0% and 37.5% in SL and PN group, respectively (p = 0.054). Three and 1 patient from PN and SL group, respectively, presented with bronchial anastomotic complications. Multivariate analysis showed that adjuvant chemotherapy and preoperative concomitant respiratory disease, but not the surgical procedures SL or PN, were risk factors for surgical morbidity. SL requires special consideration on its surgical technique either bronchial anastomosis or associated angioplastic procedure, however, it is safe and valuable less invasive surgical option especially for elderly patients.
