Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC; diffuse-type) and well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (WD; intestinal-type) using gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cell lines and to evaluate the prognostic role of HIV-1 Tat Interactive Protein 2 (HTATIP2). Materials and Methods: We performed next-generation sequencing with 8 GC surgical samples (5 WD and 3 PCC) and 3 GC cell lines (1 WD: MKN74, and 2 PCC: KATOIII and SNU601). Immunohistochemistry was used to validate HTATIP2 expression. We performed functional analysis by HTATIP2 overexpression (OE). Kaplan-Meier survival plots and the PrognoScan database were used for survival analysis. Results: The genes with significantly reduced expression in PCC versus WD (in both tissues and cell lines) were HTATIP2, ESRP1, GRHL2, ARHGEF16, CKAP2L, and ZNF724. According to immunohistochemical staining, the HTATIP2-OE group had significantly higher number of patients with early GC (EGC) (T1) (P = .024), less lymph node (LN) metastasis (P = .008), and low TNMA stage (P = .017) than HTATIP2 underexpression (UE) group. Better survival rates were confirmed in the HTATIP2 OE group by Kaplan-Meir survival and PrognoScan analysis. In vitro, HTATIP2-OE in KATO III cells caused a significant decrease in cancer cell migration and invasion. Decreased Snail and Slug expression in HTATIP2 OE cells suggested that epithelial-mesenchymal transition is involved in this process. Conclusion: HTATIP2 might be a good prognostic marker and a candidate target for GC treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several studies demonstrated that obesity and underweight were negatively associated with outcomes of breast cancer. However, the results are still controversial, and the impact of body mass index (BMI) on distant metastasis-free survival (MFS), which might directly affect mortality, was less well evaluated. Our study aimed to verify the prognostic effect of BMI in breast cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 504 patients with stage I-III breast cancer who underwent surgery from January 2005 to December 2013 was performed. The patients were divided into three groups according to preoperative BMI: underweight <18.5 kg/m2, normal weight 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, and overweight ≥25 kg/m2. The association between body weight status and breast cancer recurrence was analyzed. Subgroup analysis by tumor subtype according to receptor status was also performed. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 88 months. For disease recurrence, histologic grade and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positivity were independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. Stage, histologic grade, HER2-positivity, and BMI status were independent prognostic factors for distant metastasis. In survival analysis, overweight and underweight were significant predisposing factors for MFS, but not for disease-free survival (DFS). In the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive group, overweight and underweight patients had significantly worse DFS and MFS than normal weight patients. In the ER-negative or HER2-positive group, BMI status had no significant association with DFS and MFS. CONCLUSION The prognostic role of BMI on the survival outcomes of patients with breast cancer was different by tumor subtype. In ER-positive patients, overweight and underweight statuses had a negative prognostic effect on DFS and MFS, respectively.

Abstract
We report a case about successful surgical treatment of a granular cell tumor in the ascending colon. A 36-year-old man underwent screening colonoscopy. An endoscopic examination revealed a 10-mm yellowish and hemispheric mass in the ascending colon, and lower endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic-to-isoechoic mass invaded the submucosal layer. The mass was suspected to be a colonic carcinoid tumor. Based on the preoperative evaluation, endoscopic complete resection was considered difficult. Therefore, the lesion was removed via laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Histological examination revealed that the tumor consisted of nests of polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical staining revealed diffuse positivity for S100 and CD68. Therefore, the tumor was diagnosed as a granular cell tumor. We suggest that surgical resection should be considered if it is located in the thin-walled ascending colon prone to perforation, difficult to rule out malignant tumor due to submucosal invasion, or to remove endoscopically.

Abstract
Breast malignancy remains one of the most common causes of cancer-associated mortalities among women. MicroRNA (miR)-221 and miR-222 are homologous miRs and have a substantial impact on cancer progression. In the present study, the regulatory mechanisms of miR-221/222 and its target annexin A3 (ANXA3) in breast cancer cells were investigated. Breast tissue samples were collected to evaluate the expression patterns of miR-221/222 levels in breast cancer cell lines and cancer tissues according to clinical characteristics. The levels of miR-221/222 were increased or decreased in cancer cell lines compared with normal breast cell lines according to cell line subtype. Subsequently, the changes in the progression and invasion of breast cancer cells were investigated using cell proliferation, invasion assay, gap closure and colony formation assays. Western blotting of cell cycle proteins and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate the possible pathway of miR-221/222 and ANXA3 axis. Chemosensitivity tests were performed to explore the suitability of the miR-221/222 and ANXA3 axis as a therapeutic target in breast cancer. The expression levels of miR-221/222 were associated with aggressive characteristics of breast cancer subtypes. Cell transfection assay demonstrated the regulation of breast cancer proliferation and invasiveness by miR-221/222. MiR-221/222 directly targeted the 3'-untranslated region of ANXA3 and suppressed the expression of ANXA3 at the mRNA and protein levels. In addition, miR-221/222 negatively regulated cell proliferation and the cell cycle pathway in breast cancer cells by targeting ANXA3. In combination with adriamycin, downregulation of ANXA3 may sensitize adriamycin-induced cell death to induction of persistent G2/M and G0/G1 arrest. Decreased expression of ANXA3 through increased expression of miR-221/222 reduced breast cancer progression and increased the effectiveness of the chemotherapy drug. The present results indicated the miR-221/222 and ANXA3 axis to be a possible novel therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported contrasting results regarding the advantages of spleen preservation during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) for preventing infectious complications. METHODS A total of 3787 patients who underwent LDP for benign or low-grade malignant pancreatic disease in 92 centers across Korea and Japan were included in this retrospective study. Postoperative infectious complications and other complications were compared between LDP with splenectomy (LDPS) and LDP with spleen preservation (LSPDP) by propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. RESULTS After PSM, the LSPDP group had a lower rate of overall infectious complications (P = .079) and a significantly lower rate of intra-abdominal abscess (P = .014) compared with the LDPS group. Within the LSPDP group, the vessel preservation subgroup had a significantly higher rate of infectious complications (P = .002) compared with the vessel resection subgroup. Low-volume centers had a higher rate of intra-abdominal abscess than high-volume centers in the LSPDP group (P = .001) and the splenic vessel preservation subgroup (P = .003). CONCLUSIONS Spleen preservation in LDP for benign or borderline malignant pancreatic diseases was advantageous in lowering the risk of infectious complications, specifically intra-abdominal abscess. However, the risk of intra-abdominal abscess may differ according to the level of surgeon's experience.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic laparoscopic-assisted transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LA-ERCP) is a safe and effective technique for patient who are unable to receive endoscopic or percutaneous transhepatic treatment. This procedure shows a high overall success rate in managing pancreaticobiliary complications, comparable to that of ERCP. PATIENT CONCERNS A 51-year-old man had abdominal pain for 2 days. The patient showed acute calculous cholecystitis and acute cholangitis with distal common bile duct (CBD) stones. We performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy and removed the distal CBD stones through CBD exploration.On the fourth day after the surgery, bile leakage was observed through the surgical drain. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed with postoperative bile leakage based on clinical findings. INTERVENTIONS The patient could not receive ERCP or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage because he had severe trismus and limb stiffness after suffering from poliomyelitis. So, we performed LA-ERCP, sphincterotomy, and biliary stent insertion. The fully covered self-expanding metal stent was implanted within the percutaneous gastrostomy site around, and 4 weeks later, the stent was removed during re-ERCP. OUTCOMES The patient was discharged without any complications. There were no long-term complications noted during the 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSION/LESSONS Staged LA-ERCP represents a practical strategy for managing bile leakage and offers a novel solution for patients for whom transoral and transhepatic approaches are unsuitable. As a result, clinicians must know techniques for gaining access to the biliary system, such as LA-ERCP.

Abstract
Although laparoscopic treatment for T1 gallbladder cancer (GBC) has been described previously, the differences in oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic and conventional open surgery for T2 GBC have not been investigated. We aimed to assess the role of laparoscopic surgery using retrospectively collected data for 81 patients with T2 GBC who underwent surgical resection between January 2010 and December 2017. Eligible patients were classified into “laparoscopic” and “open” groups. Propensity-score matching was performed in a 1:1 ratio. The effects of surgery type on surgical and oncological outcomes were investigated. After propensity-score matching, 19 patients were included in the open and laparoscopic surgery groups. The median follow-up durations were 70 and 26 months in the open and laparoscopic groups, respectively. The operative time (316.8 ± 80.3 vs. 218.9 ± 145.0 min, p = 0.016) and length of postoperative hospital stay (14.4 ± 6.0 vs. 8.4 ± 5.9 days, p = 0.004) were significantly shorter in the laparoscopic group. The three-year overall (86.3% vs. 88.9%, p = 0.660) and disease-free (76.4% vs. 60.2%, p = 0.448) survival rates were similar between the groups. Propensity-score matching showed that laparoscopic surgery for T2 GBC yielded similar long-term oncological outcomes and favorable short-term outcomes in comparison with open surgery. Laparoscopic treatment should be considered in patients with T2 GBC.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the eighth most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in Korea. Despite the increasing incidence and high mortality rate of pancreatic cancer, there are no appropriate surgical practice guidelines for the current domestic medical situation. To enable standardization of management and facilitate improvements in surgical outcome, a total of 10 pancreatic surgical experts who are members of Korean Association of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery have developed new recommendations that integrate the most up-to-date, evidence-based research findings and expert opinions. This is an English version of the Korean Surgical Practice Guideline for Pancreatic Cancer 2021. This guideline includes 13 surgical questions and 15 statements. Due to the lack of high-level evidence, strong recommendation is almost impossible. However, we believe that this guideline will help surgeons understand the current status of evidence and suggest what to investigate further to establish more solid recommendations in the future.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to perform a clinicopathologic analysis of PHLPP1 expression in gastric cancer patients and analyze AKT activity with chemotherapy drug treatment in cancer subtypes. Materials and Methods: Surgically resected gastric cancer tissue specimens were obtained from 309 patients who underwent gastrectomy, and PHLPP1 expression was validated by tissue microarray analysis with immunohistochemistry. We assessed whether PHLPP1 selectively dephosphorylates Ser473 of AKT in an in-vitro study. Results: We found that the PHLPP1 overexpression (OE) group showed significantly greater proportions of differentiated subtype samples and early T stage samples, lower lymph node metastasis, and lower TNM stage than the PHLPP1 underexpression (UE) group. The overall survival of the PHLPP1-OE group was significantly higher (53.39 ± 0.96 months) than that of the PHLPP1-UE group (47.82 ± 2.57 months) (P = .01). In vitro analysis, we found that the PHLPP1-OE group showed a significant decrease in relative AKT S-473 levels in both cell lines (MKN-74 and KATO-III). We found that treatment with chemotherapy drugs decreased the activity of Ser473 in the MKN-74 cell line with PHLPP1 OE, but it did not affect the activity of Ser473 in KATO-III cells. Conclusion: We found that patients who overexpressed PHLPP1 showed low recurrence and good prognosis. PHLPP1 was found to work by lowering the activity of AKT Ser473 in gastric cancer. Additionally, we found a clue regarding the mechanism of chemotherapeutic drug resistance in a cell line of signet ring cell origin and will uncover this mechanism in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) affects the management of patients with breast cancer. Our study aimed to determine the predictive ability of characteristics such as lymph node involvement or subtype and the prognostic value of pretreatment FDG-PET/CT in breast cancer. METHOD A total of 270 patients who were confirmed with breast cancer histopathologically and underwent pretreatment FDG-PET/CT were enrolled in the study. Nuclear medicine specialists obtained the readings and measured the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the images. Tumor and lymph node SUVmax were evaluated according to lymph node metastasis and subtype status. Survival outcomes were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The lymph node SUVmax and the lymph node/tumor SUVmax ratio were significantly higher in the subgroup of patients with lymph node metastasis than in those without lymph node metastasis. High cutoff lymph node SUVmax value and lymph node/tumor SUVmax ratio were confirmed as significant predictive factors in multivariate analysis. In a comparison of the tumor SUVmax values, the more biological aggressive subtype showed higher tumor SUVmax values. In survival analysis, tumor SUVmax and lymph node SUVmax were significant predisposing factors for disease-free survival in breast cancer. In subgroup analysis, tumor SUVmax was a more significant prognostic factor in patients who had breast cancer with tumor sizes of ≤2 cm. The lymph node SUVmax was more a significant prognostic factor in patients who had breast cancer with lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION In this study, we showed that the SUVmax of FDG-PET/CT was a useful predictor of lymph node metastasis and breast cancer prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reoperation due to elective surgery complications is very mentally, physically, and economically detrimental to patients. This study investigated the potential risk factors associated with early reoperation after radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients and included an in-depth analysis of these risk factors. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed 1568 patients with gastric cancer. Grade 3 or greater complications were defined as severe. Any factors related to reoperation after radical gastrectomy were analyzed in patients with severe local complications. RESULTS Among 1537 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy, 115 (7.5%) patients had severe postoperative complications, 98 (6.38%) of whom experienced severe local complications. The most common local complication was anastomotic leakage (31, 2.02%), followed by intra-abdominal abscess (30, 1.95%), pancreatic leakage (22, 1.43%), duodenal stump leakage (18, 1.17%), intra-abdominal bleeding (12, .78%), intraluminal bleeding (8, .52%), small bowel obstruction (5, .32%), and chyle leakage (3, .19%). Of these patients, 26 (1.69%) underwent reoperation, and 6 (.39%) died. In the univariate analysis of clinical factors related to reoperation, intra-abdominal bleeding and small bowel obstruction were risk factors for reoperation, and intra-abdominal bleeding (odds ratio [OR] = 9.57, confidence interval [CI] = 2.65-40.20, P < .001) and small bowel obstruction (OR = 19.14, CI = 2.60-390.13, P = .011) were independent risk factors associated with reoperation in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Intra-abdominal bleeding and small bowel obstruction are independent risk factors for reoperation following radical gastrectomy. Patients with postoperative intra-abdominal bleeding and small bowel obstruction need to be warned about reoperation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited evidence exists for the safety and oncologic efficacy of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) according to tumor location. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of MIS and open surgery (OS) for right- or left-sided NF-PNETs. METHODS The study collected data on patients who underwent surgical resection (pancreatoduodenectomy, distal/total/central pancreatectomy, duodenum-preserving pancreas head resection, or enucleation) of a localized NF-PNET between January 2000 and July 2017 at 14 institutions. The inverse probability of treatment-weighting method with propensity scores was used for analysis. RESULTS The study enrolled 859 patients: 478 OS and 381 MIS patients. A matched analysis by tumor location showed no differences in resection margin, intraoperative blood loss, or complications between MIS and OS. However, MIS was associated with a longer operation time for right-sided tumors (393.3 vs 316.7 min; P < 0.001) and a shorter postoperative hospital stay for left-sided tumors (8.9 vs 12.9 days; P < 0.01). The MIS group was associated with significantly higher survival rates than the OS group for right- and left-sided tumors, but survival did not differ for the patients divided by tumor grade and location. Multivariable analysis showed that MIS did not affect survival for any tumor location. CONCLUSION The short-term outcomes offered by MIS were comparable with those of OS except for a longer operation time for right-sided NF-PNETs. The oncologic outcomes were not compromised by MIS regardless of tumor location or grade. These findings suggest that MIS can be performed safely for selected patients with localized NF-PNETs.

Abstract
The impact of gastric remnant volumes (GRVs) after gastrectomy on patients' quality of life (QOL) has not yet been clarified. The aim of the present study was to compare QOL after gastrectomy between small and large gastric remnant volume patients.We prospectively collected clinical data from 78 consecutive patients who underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth II gastrojejunostomy for gastric cancer. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach questionnaire and gastric computed tomography scans were performed. The patients were subdivided into 2 groups by remnant stomach volume (the S group ≤110 mL vs L group >110 mL).The worst scores for most items were observed at postoperative month 1 and usually improved thereafter. There was no difference in the STO22 score except for dysphagia between the S and L groups after gastrectomy (P > .05). The QOL score of dysphagia was different at postoperative 6 months (S vs L, 12.4 vs 22.8, P < .03), but there was no difference at postoperative months 1, 3, 12, 24, or 36 (P > .05).The remnant gastric volume after partial gastrectomy affects neither functional differences nor QOL after 6 months following appropriate radical surgery.

Abstract
Small intestinal malignant tumor accounts for about 3% of all malignant tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, among which 13% are leiomyosarcoma (LMS). In addition, epithelioid LMS is of very rare occurrence. As small intestinal malignant tumors are initially asymptomatic and nonspecific, diagnosis is often delayed, and this can lead to large tumor at the time of detection and lead to intussusception. We observed ileocolonic intussusception in an 80-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain and palpable mass on right lower quadrant. The laparoscopic ileocecectomy was performed by the emergency operation because of obstruction. The pathologic examination revealed that the epithelioid LMS developed in the terminal ileum was the leading point of intussusception. To the best of our knowledge, laparoscopic surgery for ileocolonic intussusception with epithelioid LMS has not yet been reported.

Abstract
Background/Aims Several prediction models for evaluating the prognosis of nonmetastatic resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have been developed, and their performances were reported to be superior to that of the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. We developed a prediction model to evaluate the prognosis of resected PDAC and externally validated it with data from a nationwide Korean database. Methods Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were utilized for model development, and data from the Korea Tumor Registry System-Biliary Pancreas (KOTUS-BP) database were used for external validation. Potential candidate variables for model development were age, sex, histologic differentiation, tumor location, adjuvant chemotherapy, and the AJCC 8th staging system T and N stages. For external validation, the concordance index (C-index) and time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were evaluated. Results Between 2004 and 2016, data from 9,624 patients were utilized for model development, and data from 3,282 patients were used for external validation. In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, age, sex, tumor location, T and N stages, histologic differentiation, and adjuvant chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for resected PDAC. After an exhaustive search and 10-fold cross validation, the best model was finally developed, which included all prognostic variables. The C-index, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year time-dependent AUCs were 0.628, 0.650, 0.665, 0.675, and 0.686, respectively. Conclusions The survival prediction model for resected PDAC could provide quantitative survival probabilities with reliable performance. External validation studies with other nationwide databases are needed to evaluate the performance of this model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this multicenter cohort study was to compare the clinical courses between open and laparoscopic Petersen's hernia (PH) reduction. METHOD We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients who underwent PH repair surgery after gastrectomy for gastric cancer from 2015-2018. Forty patients underwent PH reduction operations that were performed by six surgeons at four hospitals. Among the 40 patients, 15 underwent laparoscopic PH reduction (LPH), and 25 underwent open PH reduction (OPH), including 4 patients who underwent LPH but required conversion to OPH. RESULTS We compared the clinical factors between the LPH and OPH groups. In the clinical course, we found no differences in operation times or intraoperative bowel injury, morbidity, or mortality rates between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, the number of days on a soft fluid diet (OPH vs. LPH; 5.8 vs. 3.7 days, p = 0.03) and length of hospital stay (12.6 vs. 8.2 days, p = 0.04) were significantly less in the LPH group than the OPH group. Regarding postoperative complications, the OPH group had a case of pneumonia and sepsis with multi-organ failure, which resulted in mortality. In the LPH group, one patient experienced recurrence and required reoperation for PH. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic PH reduction was associated with a faster postoperative recovery period than open PH reduction, with a similar incidence of complications. The laparoscopic approach should be considered an appropriate strategy for PH reduction in selected cases.

Abstract
This study evaluated the outcomes and prognostic factors for breast cancer according to initial lymph node (LN) status. Among patients with LN-negative breast cancer, we also focused on the prognostic value of estrogen receptor (ER) status.Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for 715 patients who underwent curative surgery for breast cancer between January 2005 and December 2015 at a single Korean institution. We evaluated factors that were associated with metastasis-free survival (MFS) according to LN status.Among the 715 patients (age: 28-87 years), 458 patients (64.1%) did not have axillary LN metastasis. Relative to patients without LN metastasis, patients with LN metastasis had larger tumor sizes and higher histological grades. Among patients with no LN metastasis, ER positivity was associated with non-significantly poorer MFS than ER negativity (mean survival: 138.90 months vs. 146.99 months, p = .17), and patients with LN-negative ER-positive disease had MFS rates of 91.7% at 5 years and 74.5% at 10 years. Among patients with LN-negative ER-positive disease, a poor prognosis was significantly associated with larger tumor size (≥2 cm, P = .03) and older age (≥50 years, P = .03).These results indicate that the risk of metastasis increases over time for patients with LN-negative ER-positive breast cancer, and especially for older patients or patients with larger tumors.

Abstract
Simple Summary Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) is the second most common primary hepatic malignant tumor after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The prevalence of lymph node metastases (LNM) detected at surgery for IHCC has been reported as 25–50%, and lymph node metastasis is known to be significantly associated with poor survival outcomes. However, the oncologic value of lymph node dissection in resected IHCC is still controversial. According to the present Korea–Japan international collaborative study, it was found that surgical retrieval of more than four lymph nodes (≥4 LNs) could improve survival outcome in resected IHCC with LNM. Based on preoperatively detectable parameters, a nomogram was established to predict LNM to suggest tailored intraoperative LN management in patients with IHCC. Further prospective research is needed to validate the present surgical strategy in resected IHCC. Abstract Background: This study was performed to investigate the oncologic role of lymph node (LN) management and to propose a surgical strategy for treating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC). Methods: The medical records of patients with resected IHCC were retrospectively reviewed from multiple institutions in Korea and Japan. Short-term and long-term oncologic outcomes were analyzed according to lymph node metastasis (LNM). A nomogram to predict LNM in treating IHCC was established to propose a surgical strategy for managing IHCC. Results: A total of 1138 patients were enrolled. Of these, 413 patients underwent LN management and 725 did not. A total of 293 patients were found to have LNM. The No. 12 lymph node (36%) was the most frequent metastatic node, and the No. 8 lymph node (21%) was the second most common. LNM showed adverse long-term oncologic impact in patients with resected IHCC (14 months, 95% CI (11.4–16.6) vs. 74 months, 95% CI (57.2–90.8), p < 0.001), and the number of LNM (0, 1–3, 4≤) was also significantly related to negative oncologic impacts in patients with resected IHCC (74 months, 95% CI (57.2–90.8) vs. 19 months, 95% CI (14.4–23.6) vs. 11 months, 95% CI (8.1–13.8)), p < 0.001). Surgical retrieval of more than four (≥4) LNs could improve the survival outcome in resected IHCC with LNM (13 months, 95% CI (10.4–15.6)) vs. 30 months, 95% CI (13.1–46.9), p = 0.045). Based on preoperatively detectable parameters, a nomogram was established to predict LNM according to the tumor location. The AUC was 0.748 (95% CI: 0.706–0.788), and the Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed p = 0.4904. Conclusion: Case-specific surgical retrieval of more than four LNs is required in patients highly suspected to have LNM, based on a preoperative detectable parameter-based nomogram. Further prospective research is needed to validate the present surgical strategy in resected IHCC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prognostic factors of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) are unclear, and the treatment guidelines are insufficient. This study aimed to suggest a treatment algorithm for PNET based on risk factors for recurrence in a large cohort. METHODS Data of 918 patients who underwent curative intent surgery for PNET were collected from 14 tertiary centers. Risk factors for recurrence and survival analyses were performed. RESULTS The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 86.5%. Risk factors for recurrence included margin status (R1, hazard ratio [HR] 2.438; R2, HR 3.721), 2010 WHO grade (G2, HR 3.864; G3, HR 7.352), and N category (N1, HR 2.273). A size of 2 cm was significant in the univariate analysis (HR 8.511) but not in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.407). Tumor size was not a risk factor for recurrence, but strongly reflected 2010 WHO grade and lymph node (LN) status. Tumors ≤2 cm had lower 2010 WHO grade, less LN metastasis (p < 0.001), and significantly longer 5-year DFS (77.9 vs. 98.2%, p < 0.001) than tumors >2 cm. The clinicopathologic features of tumors <1 and 1-2 cm were similar. However, the LN metastasis rate was 10.3% in 1-2-cm sized tumors and recurrence occurred in 3.0%. Tumors <1 cm in size did not have any LN metastasis or recurrence. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Radical surgery is needed in suspected LN metastasis or G3 PNET or tumors >2 cm. Surveillance for <1-cm PNETs should be sufficient. Tumors sized 1-2 cm require limited surgery with LN resection, but should be converted to radical surgery in cases of doubtful margins or LN metastasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been few studies about gene differences between patients with diffuse-type gastric cancer and those with intestinal-type gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of signet ring cell gastric cancer (worst prognosis in diffuse-type) and well-differentiated gastric cancer (best prognosis in intestinal-type); NUDC was identified, and its prognostic role was studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed next-generation sequencing with 5 well-differentiated gastric cancers and 3 of signet ring cell gastric cancer surgical samples. We performed gene enrichment and functional annotation analysis using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery bioinformatics resources. Immunohistochemistry was used to validate NUDC expression. RESULTS Overall, 900 genes showed significantly higher expression, 644 genes showed lower expression in signet ring cell gastric cancer than in well-differentiated gastric cancers, and there was a large difference in adhesion, vascular development, and cell-to-cell junction components between the 2 subtypes. We performed variant analysis and found 52 variants and 30 cancer driver genes, including NUDC. We analyzed NUDC expression in gastric cancer tissue and its relationship with prognosis. Cox proportional hazard analysis identified T stage, N stage, and NUDC expression as independent risk factors for survival (P < 0.05). The overall survival of the NUDC-positive group was significantly higher (53.2 ± 0.92 months) than that of the NUDC-negative group (44.6 ± 3.7 months) (P = 0.001) in Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. CONCLUSION We found 30 cancer driver gene candidates and found that the NUDC-positive group showed significantly better survival than the NUDC-negative group via variant analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are more useful predictors after initial intention to treat than at the time of diagnosis. METHODS We collected the medical data of 533 patients. The results of the peripheral blood sampling before the primary treatments were labeled as initial cohort, and those obtained between 24 and 36 months after initial treatment were defined as the 2nd cohort. Delayed metastasis has been defined as distant metastasis 2 years after treatment, and survival outcome was estimated and compared across groups. RESULTS Median follow-up duration was 74 months (24-162 months), and 53 patients experienced delayed metastasis. In univariate analysis, metastasis-free survival, patient age at diagnosis, tumor size, axillary lymph node metastasis, HER-2 status, initial NLR and PLR, and 2nd NLR and PLR were found to be significantly associated with delayed metastasis. However, in multivariate analysis, only the 2nd NLR and PLR were found to be significantly associated with delayed metastasis, excluding initial NLR and PLR. Metastasis-free survival was analyzed through the pattern changes of NLR or PLR. The results revealed that patients with continued low NLR and PLR values at pre- and post-treatment (low initial values and 2nd values) showed a significantly better prognosis than those with a change in value or continued high NLR and PLR. CONCLUSIONS We identified that patients with persistent high NLR and PLR after initial treatment have significant worse prognosis in terms of late metastasis. Therefore, these results suggest that NLR and PLR are more useful in predicting prognosis post-treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the 1 year incidence of Petersen's hernia between individuals who were treated with the jejunal mesentery fixing (Mefix) method and those with the closure of Petersen's space method. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data of patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancers with the closure of Petersen's space defect (N = 49) and Mefix (N = 26). The Mefix method was performed by fixing the jejunal mesentery (jejunojejunostomy below 30 cm) to the transverse mesocolon using nonabsorbable barbed sutures. RESULTS The procedure time for mesentery fixing (3.7 ± 1.1 mins) was significantly shorter than that for Petersen's space closure (7.5 ± 1.5 mins) (p < .001) although the operation times were similar between the two groups. There was no incidence of Petersen's hernias postoperatively in both groups. One case of reoperation was reported in the closure group due to small bowel obstruction by kinking of the jejunojejunostomy. CONCLUSION We found no occurrence of Petersen's hernias postoperatively in either group. We also found that the Mefix method was faster and easier to perform than the closure method. The Mefix method is an excellent alternative method to prevent the occurrence of Petersen's hernia after B-II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (GSTs), incidentally detected during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, may be lesions derived from the GI wall or may be caused by compression from external organs. In general, traumatic neuroma is a benign nerve tumor that results from postoperative nerve injury, occurring in the bile duct as one of the complications after cholecystectomy. This is the first case report demonstrating that neuroma of the cystic duct can be incorrectly perceived as a duodenal subepithelial tumor by compressing the duodenal wall.
CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 72-year-old man with traumatic neuroma of the cystic duct after cholecystectomy. This tumor was mistaken for a duodenal subepithelial tumor on preoperative upper GI endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography due to external compression of the GI wall. The patient had no symptoms, and his laboratory test results were normal. However, in a series of follow-up endoscopies, the tumor was found to have grown in size, so it was surgically resected. The lesion was completely removed by laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 without complications.
CONCLUSION Traumatic neuroma of the cystic duct can be mistaken for GSTs in GI endoscopy.

Abstract
Background The enhancer of rudimentary homolog (ERH) protein is implicated in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and malignancy. We previously conducted a proteomics analysis using gastric cancer (GC) tissues and identified ERH as a biomarker candidate. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ERH may be useful as a prognostic marker for GC. Methods Surgically resected GC tissue specimens were obtained from 327 patients who underwent gastrectomy at Gyeongsang National University Hospital. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to validate ERH as a prognostic marker in these tissues. SNU601 and MKN74 cells with siRNA-mediated knockdown of ERH expression and ERH-overexpressing SNU601 and MKN74 knock-in cells were used for analysis of ERH function. Results ERH was overexpressed in stomach cancer tissues compared with normal tissues according to proteomics analysis (n=29, P<0.01) of patient samples. Based on IHC, patients with tumors overexpressing ERH had lower T stage and lower TNM stage classifications, lower cancer recurrence rates and longer survival times than did patients with tumors showing low expression of ERH (P=0.04). In vitro, forced expression of ERH significantly decreased GC cell migration and invasion, and depletion of ERH triggered GC cell migration and invasion but had no effect on proliferation in vitro. Conclusions The findings from the present study show that ERH is associated with decreased cancer cell migration and invasion, suggesting that overexpression of ERH may serve as a marker of good prognosis for patients with GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IPNB is very rare disease and most previous studies on IPNB were case series with a small number due to low incidence. The aim of this study is to validate previously known clinicopathologic features of intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB) based on the first largest multicenter cohort. METHODS Among 587 patients previously diagnosed with IPNB and similar diseases from each center in Korea, 387 were included in this study after central pathologic review. We also reviewed all preoperative image data. RESULTS Of 387 patients, 176 (45.5%) had invasive carcinoma and 21 (6.0%) lymph node metastasis. The 5-year overall survival was 80.9% for all patients, 88.8% for IPNB with mucosal dysplasia, and 70.5% for IPNB with invasive carcinoma. According to the "Jang & Kim's modified anatomical classification," 265 (68.5%) were intrahepatic, 103 (26.6%) extrahepatic, and 16 (4.1%) diffuse type. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor invasiveness was a unique predictor for survival analysis. (p = 0.047 [hazard ratio = 2.116, 95% confidence interval 1.010-4.433]). CONCLUSIONS This is the first Korean multicenter study on IPNB through central pathologic and radiologic review process. Although IPNB showed good long-term prognosis, relatively aggressive features were also found in invasive carcinoma and extrahepatic/diffuse type.

Abstract
Although open liver resection using ultrasound (US) probe compression of the hepatic vessel has been reported, laparoscopic liver resection using the same method has not yet been reported. Magnetic resonance imaging of a 55-year-old man with hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis revealed a 2.5 cm liver mass in segment VI. He underwent laparoscopic segmentectomy. After right liver mobilization, the subglissonean pedicle of segment VI was identified and it was compressed with laparoscopic US probe with confirmation using Doppler US. The liver parenchyma was transected with a Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator and advanced bipolar system along the ischemic line. The patient was discharged 9 days after surgery without complications. Laparoscopic segmentectomy using laparoscopic US probe compression has advantages including preservation of the hepatic parenchyma and prevention of injury to the adjacent Glissonean pedicle.

Abstract
e16613 Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary cancer, but the prognosis is poor and aggressive therapies provide only limited benefit when it is in advanced stage. Many studies were conducted to find significant prognostic factors to predict clinical outcomes, but there is no definitive parameter or scoring model yet in this disease. This study is a retrospective analysis to test various kinds of prognostic scoring systems including the advanced lung cancer inflammation (ALI) index, a new prognostic model, for patients treated for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively searched medical records of patients who were diagnosed with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between January 2012 and December 2017 and actively treated at a single tertiary regional cancer center. Patients who received only supportive care, or had active infection concomitantly were excluded. 60 patients were identified, and we reviewed and analyzed their baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes. Various types of inflammation or nutritional scoring systems, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Onodera’s prognostic nutritional index (OPNI), the advanced lung cancer inflammation (ALI) index were concurrently calculated and significance for patients’ survival was evaluated. Results: In 50 patients with metastatic stage and 10 patients with locally advanced disease, the median overall survival was 13.97 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 7.99 – 19.95). ALI of 28.5 was determined as the optimal cut-off value for prediction of 1-year survival by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve with an AUC value of 0.671 (sensitivity and specificity were 77.8% and 60.6%, respectively). 26 patients with ALI > 28.5 had significantly better overall survival compared with 34 patients with ALI≤28.5 (19.2 months vs. 8.73 months, p= .007). NLR above 2.8 only showed mildly significant difference for overall survival (OS), and the OPNI failed to predict prognosis of these patients. In multivariate analysis, there was no independent prognostic factor observed to have association with overall survival. Conclusions: The advanced lung cancer inflammation (ALI) index showed a potential to be a new prognostic model for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Further cohort studies to expand population size may be worth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical implication of lymph node (LN) dissection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) is still controversial, and LN metastasis (LNM) based on tumor site has not been confirmed yet. METHODS Patients who underwent curative-intent surgery at 10 tertiary referral centers were identified and divided into peripheral (PP) and near second confluence level tumor (NC) groups on the basis of the distance from the second confluence and oncological outcomes were compared. RESULTS Of 179 patients, 121 patients with LND were divided into the NC (n = 89) and PP groups (n = 32) on the basis of 4.5 cm from the second confluence. NC group showed higher LNM rate than PP group (46.1 vs 21.9%, p = 0.016) and NC was a risk factor for LNM (odds ratio: 4.367; 95% confidence interval: 1.234-15.453, p = 0.022). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (38.0% vs. 27.8%, p = 0.777) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates (22.8% vs. 25.8%, p = 0.742) showed no differences between the PP and NC groups. In the NC group, N1 patients showed worse 5-year OS (12.7% vs 39.0%, p = 0.004) and RFS (8.8% vs 28.6%, p = 0.004) than the N0 patients. In the PP group, discordant results in 5-year OS (48.9% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.462) and RFS (41.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.056) were found between the N0 and N1 patients. CONCLUSION The NC group was an independent risk factor for LNM and LNM worsened prognosis in NC group for ICCA. In the PP group, LND should not be omitted because of high LNM rate and insufficient oncologic evidence.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin IV (PRDX4) is a multifunctional protein that is involved in cell protection against oxidative injury, regulation of cell proliferation, modulation of intracellular signaling, and the pathogenesis of tumors. We previously conducted a proteomic analysis to investigate tumor-specific protein expression in gastric cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether PRDX4 could be a marker of poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. Immunohistochemistry was used to validate PRDX4 as a prognostic marker for gastric cancer. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of PRDX4 expression in AGS cells and MKN28 cells was used for functional studies, and PRDX4 overexpression in PRDX4-depleted cells was used for knock-in studies. Based on immunohistochemistry data, TNM stage and PRDX4 were independent prognostic factors in the Cox proportional hazard model (P<0.05). In the survival analysis, the PRDX4-overexpressing group demonstrated significantly worse survival than the PRDX4-underexpression group (P<0.01). In vitro, knockdown of PRDX4 expression by shRNA caused a significant decrease in cancer invasion. Conversely, overexpression of PRDX4 in PRDX4-depleted cancer cells promoted migration and invasion. By measuring the expression of EMT-related genes, we found that E-cadherin was increased in shPRDX4 cells compared with control shMKN28 cells, and snail and slug were decreased in shPRDX4-1 cells compared with sh-control cells. Furthermore, the expression levels of these genes could be recovered in rescue experiments. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that PRDX4 is a marker of poor prognosis in gastric cancer and that PRDX4 is associated with cancer cell migration and invasion via EMT.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the adaptation process of the alimentary tract after distal gastrectomy and understand the impact of remnant stomach volume (RSV) on diet recovery.One year after gastrectomy, although patients' oral intake had increased, the RSV was decreased and small bowel motility was enhanced. Patients with a larger RSV showed no additional benefits regarding nutritional outcomes.We prospectively enrolled patients who underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction to treat gastric cancer at a tertiary hospital cancer center between September 2009 and February 2012. Demographic data, diet questionnaires, computed tomography (CT), and contrast fluoroscopy findings were collected. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the RSV calculated using CT gastric volume measurements (large vs small). Dietary habits and nutritional status were compared between the groups.Seventy-eight patients were enrolled. Diet volume recovered to 90% of baseline by the 36 postoperative month, and RSV was 70% of baseline at 6 months after surgery and gradually decreased over time. One year after surgery, small bowel transit time was 75% compared to the 1st postoperative month (P < .05); however, transit time in the esophagus and remnant stomach showed no change in any studied interval. Compared to patients with a small RSV, those with a large RSV showed no differences in diet volume, habits, or other nutritional benefits (P > .05).Diet recovery for distal gastrectomy patients was achieved by increased small bowel motility. The size of the remnant stomach showed no positive impact on nutritional outcomes.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims This study is to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of the duodenojejunostomy (DJ) procedure in pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). Methods In this study, as noted between 2010 and 2018, there were 77 PPPDs which were performed at our hospital by one surgeon. We began the circular stapled method from 2014, and continue with this procedure for the aforementioned surgeries including and up to today. The clinical data for the study were collected retrospectively to compare clinical outcomes of the two methods, the circular stapled anastomosis and the hand - sewn anastomosis. Results There were 34 patients in a circular stapled group, and 43 in a hand-sewn group as identified for this study. The delayed gastric emptying (DGE) occurred in 6 (17.64%) patients in the circular stapled group, and 10 (23.3%) in the hand-sewn group (p=0.547). It is noted that there was a serum albumin level measured on the 14th day after the operation, which was significantly high in the circular stapled group (3.41±0.47 (g/dl) vs 2.92±0.39 (g/dl), p<0.001). There were no significant differences in terms of the incidence of postoperative complications (58.8% vs 58.1%, p=0.952) and mortality rates (5.9% vs 0, p=0.192) among the patient participants in this study. Conclusions We conclude that using a circular stapler for the DJ procedure in PPPDs do not increase the development of a DGE, and is also helpful for the benefit of the patient's nutritional status going forward during recovery from the operation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the current nodal staging system for gallbladder cancer (GBC) was changed based on the number of positive lymph nodes (PLN), it needs to be evaluated in various situations. METHODS We reviewed the clinical data for 398 patients with resected GBC and compared nodal staging systems based on the number of PLNs, the positive/retrieved LN ratio (LNR), and the log odds of positive LN (LODDS). Prognostic performance was evaluated using the C-index. RESULTS Subgroups were formed on the basis of an restricted cubic spline plot as follows: PLN 3 (PLN = 0, 1-2, ≥ 3); PLN 4 (PLN = 0, 1-3, ≥ 4); LNR (LNR = 0, 0-0.269, ≥ 0.27); and LODDS (LODDS < - 0.8, - 0.8-0, ≥ 0). The oncological outcome differed significantly between subgroups in each system. In all patients with GBC, PLN 4 (C-index 0.730) and PLN 3 (C-index 0.734) were the best prognostic discriminators of survival and recurrence, respectively. However, for retrieved LN (RLN) ≥ 6, LODDS was the best discriminator for survival (C-index 0.852). CONCLUSION The nodal staging system based on PLN was the optimal prognostic discriminator in patients with RLN < 6, whereas the LODDS system is adequate for RLN ≥ 6. The following nodal staging system considers applying different systems according to the RLN.

Abstract
Purpose The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) included several significant changes. We aim to evaluate this staging system compared to the 7th edition AJCC staging system and European Neuroendocrine Tumors Society (ENETS) system. Materials and Methods We used Korean nationwide surgery database (2000-2014). Of 972 patients who had undergone surgery for PNET, excluding patients diagnosed with ENETS/World Health Organization 2010 grade 3 (G3), only 472 patients with accurate stage were included. Results Poor discrimination in overall survival rate (OSR) was noted between AJCC 8th stage III and IV (p=0.180). The disease-free survival (DFS) curves of 8th AJCC classification were well separated between all stages. Compared with stage I, the hazard ratio of II, III, and IV was 3.808, 13.928, and 30.618, respectively (p=0.007, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001). The curves of OSR and DFS of certain prognostic group in AJCC 7th and ENETS overlapped. In ENETS staging system, no significant difference in DFS between stage IIB versus IIIA (p=0.909) and IIIA versus IIIB (p=0.291). In multivariable analysis, lymphovascular invasion (p=0.002), perineural invasion (p=0.003), and grade (p < 0.001) were identified as independent prognostic factors for DFS. Conclusion This is the first large-scale validation of the AJCC 8th edition staging system for PNET. The revised 8th system provides better discrimination compared to that of the 7th edition and ENETS TNM system. This supports the clinical use of the system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of T1b gallbladder cancer (GBC) due to the lack of evidence and the difficulty of anatomy and pathological standardization. METHODS A total of 272 patients with T1b GBC who underwent surgical resection at 14 centers with specialized hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgeons and pathologists in Korea, Japan, Chile, and the United States were studied. Clinical outcomes including disease-specific survival (DSS) rates according to the types of surgery were analyzed. RESULTS After excluding patients, the 237 qualifying patients consisted of 90 men and 147 women. Simple cholecystectomy (SC) was performed in 116 patients (48.9%) and extended cholecystectomy (EC) in 121 patients (51.1%). The overall 5-year DSS was 94.6%, and it was similar between SC and EC patients (93.7% vs. 95.5%, P = 0.496). The 5-year DSS was similar between SC and EC patients in America (82.3% vs. 100.0%, P = 0.249) as well as in Asia (98.6% vs. 95.2%, P = 0.690). The 5-year DSS also did not differ according to lymph node metastasis (P = 0.688) or tumor location (P = 0.474). CONCLUSIONS SC showed similar clinical outcomes (including recurrence) and survival outcomes as EC; therefore, EC is not needed for the treatment of T1b GBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While extended cholecystectomy is recommended for T2 gallbladder cancer (GBC), the role of hepatic resection for T2 GBC is unclear. This study aimed to identify the necessity of hepatic resection in patients with T2 GBC. METHODS Data of 81 patients with histopathologically proven T2 GBC who underwent surgical resection between January 1999 and December 2017 were enrolled from a retrospective database. Of these, 36 patients had peritoneal-side (T2a) tumors and 45 had hepatic-side (T2b) tumors. To identify the optimal surgical management method, T2 GBC patients were classified into the hepatic resection group (n = 44, T2a/T2b = 20/24) and non-hepatic resection group (n = 37, T2a/T2b = 16/21). The recurrence pattern and role of hepatic resection for T2 GBC were then investigated. RESULTS Mean age of the patients was 69 (range 36-88) years, and the male-to-female ratio was 42:39 (male, 51.9%; female, 48.1%). Hepatic-side GBC had a higher rate of recurrence than peritoneal-side GBC (44.4% vs. 8.3%, p = 0.006). The most common type of recurrence in T2a GBC was para-aortic lymph node recurrence (n = 2, 5.6%); the most common types of recurrence in T2b GBC were para-aortic lymph node recurrence (n = 7, 15.6%) and intrahepatic metastasis (n = 6, 13.3%). Hepatic-side GBC patients had worse survival outcomes than peritoneal-side GBC patients (76.0% vs. 96.6%, p = 0.041). Hepatic resection had no significant treatment effect in T2 GBC patients (p = 0.272). Multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was the only significant prognostic factor (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Hepatic resection is not essential for curative treatment in T2 GBC, and more systemic treatments are needed for GBC patients, particularly for those with T2b GBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of three-port laparoscopic right colectomy (3-LRC) for right-sided colon cancer compared with conventional five-port laparoscopic right colectomy (5-LRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred sixty-three patients diagnosed with right-sided colon adenocarcinoma underwent laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) between April 2011 and December 2017. Seventy-four of these patients underwent 3-LRC procedure and 89 patients underwent 5-LRC. Clinical characteristics, perioperative short-term outcomes, and pathologic data were analyzed. RESULTS There were no differences in TNM stage, tumor location, estimated blood loss, complications, and open conversion rates. The operation time was shorter in the 3-LRC group than in 5-LRC group (140.9 ± 27.5 minutes versus 178.2 ± 38.2 minutes; P = .001). The number of harvested lymph nodes (28.5 ± 13.9 versus 22.6 ± 11.7; P = .004) was also higher in the 3-LRC group. The first passage of flatus and first oral diet were significantly faster in the 3-LRC group than in the 5-LRC group (2.8 ± 1.0 days versus 4.0 ± 1.2 days; P = .001, 3.6 ± 2.9 days versus 5.0 ± 1.5 days; P = .001). The number of patients who required analgesics is less in the 3-LRC group (32.4% versus 43.8%; P = .583). CONCLUSION 3-LRC for right-sided colon cancer is technically feasible and is associated with a short operation time. We believe that 3-LRC effectively reduces the costs associated with equipment and manpower and represents a standard procedure.

Abstract
Toxocara canis is an important roundworm of canids and a fearsome animal parasite of humans. Human infections can lead to syndromes called visceral larva migrans (VLM), ocular larva migrans, neurotoxocariasis, and covert toxocariasis. VLM is most commonly diagnosed in children younger than 8 years of age, but adult cases are relatively frequent among those infected by ingesting the raw tissue of paratenic hosts in East Asia. This research reports the case of a 59-year-old man with sigmoid colon cancer, who visited our institution for surgery. An intraperitoneal mass was found on preoperative computed tomography, and it was thought to be a metastatic mass from sigmoid colon cancer. A postoperative histologic examination and serum test showed eosinophilic granuloma due to toxocariasis. Diagnosis of VLM is often difficult and highly suspicious in adults. Researchers suggest, although rarely, that VLM be included in the differential diagnosis as a cause of intraperitoneal tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic primary repair is one of the main procedures used for perforated gastric ulcers, and this technique requires reproducible and secure suturing. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of a novel continuous suture method with barbed sutures during laparoscopic repair for perforated peptic ulcers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical data from 116 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic repair for perforated peptic ulcers were collected between November 2009 and October 2015. Continuous suturing with 15-cm-long unidirectional absorbable barbed sutures was used for laparoscopic repair in the study group, termed group V (n = 51). Patients who underwent laparoscopic repair with conventional interrupted sutures were defined as group C (n = 65). The complication and operative data were compared between groups. RESULTS Although there was no difference between group V and group C in the overall complication rate (15.7% vs. 24.6%; p = 0.259), the complication rate related to suturing was lower (3.9% vs. 15.4%; p = 0.04) in group V. Group V showed rates of 0% for leakage, 2% for intra-abdominal fluid collection, and 2% for stricture; the corresponding rates in group C were 3.1, 7.7, and 4.6%, respectively. Regarding operative data, the total operation time (V vs. C, 87.7 min vs. 131.2 min), total suture time (7.1 min vs. 25.3 min), and suture time per stitch (1.2 min vs. 6.2 min) were significantly shorter in group V than in group C (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The use of a continuous suture technique with unidirectional barbed sutures is as safe as the conventional suture technique and allows easier and faster suturing in the repair of perforated peptic ulcers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Annexin A3 (ANXA3) participates in various tumor-associated biological processes, including tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. The present study was designed to investigate the expression and function of ANXA3 in breast cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Annexin A3 protein expression in breast cancer cell lines was evaluated using Western blot analysis. ANXA3 expression in MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells was silenced by RNA interference, and the effects of RNA silencing on cell proliferation, colony forming ability, wound-healing, and invasiveness were evaluated. Levels of ANXA3 expression in 30 primary breast cancers were assayed using immunohistochemistry and correlated with patient survival. RESULTS Levels of ANXA3 expression were higher in the basal subtype of breast cancer cells, such as MDA-MB 231, HCC-70, and HCC-1954 cells, than in other subtypes. ANXA3 silencing inhibited the activities of MDA-MB 231 and HCC-1954 cells, including their proliferation, invasion across transwell membranes, and wound-healing and colony forming abilities. ANXA3 small interfering RNA (siRNA) also reduced the expression of cycle-dependent kinase protein and increased the expression of E2F1 and p27 proteins compared with control siRNA. Expression of ANXA3 was closely correlated with tumor size, with higher ANXA3 expression associated with reduced disease-free survival in breast cancer patients. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that ANXA3 is associated with the natural progression of breast cancer and might be a potential prognostic marker of patient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ossiculoplasty is a surgical procedure that recreates sound transmission of the middle ear in conductive hearing loss. Various materials have been used for ossicular reconstruction, but the most ideal material for ossiculoplasty remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to introduce a novel method of autologous ossiculoplasty, bone-cartilage composite graft (BCCG) and to compare its surgical results with different types of ossiculoplastic prostheses. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was performed in a tertiary referral centre. METHODS Data of 275 patients who received ossiculoplasty using the three different materials of BCCG, Polycel® and titanium were analysed according to type of ossiculoplasty: partial or total ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP or TORP). Hearing results, complication rates and clinical parameters including age, sex, past history, preoperative diagnosis and surgery type were compared among different groups. RESULTS Ossiculoplasty with BCCG showed satisfactory hearing outcomes and the lowest complication rate among the three different materials. In particular, its extrusion rate was 0%. CONCLUSION We propose that the BCCG technique is a useful alternative method for ossiculoplasty, with proper patient selection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Enolase is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the glycolytic pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the overexpression of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) can serve as a prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS To assess its prognostic value in GC, NSE expression was measured by immunohistochemistry in a clinically annotated tissue microarray comprising of 327 human GC specimens. Cytoplasmic NSE expression was scored from 0 to 4, reflecting the percentage of NSE-positive cells. RESULTS In terms of histology as per the World Health Organization criteria (P=0.340), there were no differences between the NSE overexpression (NSE-OE) and NSE underexpression (NSE-UE) groups. The NSE-OE group showed a significantly lower rate of advanced GC (P<0.010), lymph node metastasis (P=0.010), advanced stage group (P<0.010), cancer-related death (P<0.010), and cancer recurrence (P<0.010). Additionally, a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the NSE-OE group had longer cumulative survival times than the NSE-UE group (log-rank test, P<0.010). However, there were no significant differences in the serum levels of NSE expression in patients with GC and healthy volunteers (P=0.280). CONCLUSIONS Patients with NSE overexpressing GC tissues showed better prognostic results, implying that NSE could be a candidate biomarker of GC.

Abstract
An 84-year-old man was diagnosed with two synchronous adenocarcinomas, a Borrmann type IV advanced gastric adenocarcinoma in his antrum and a well-differentiated Borrmann type I carcinoma on the anterior wall of the higher body of his stomach. Pre-operatively, computed tomography of the abdomen revealed the presence of advanced gastric cancer with peri-gastric and para-aortic lymph node (LN) metastasis. He planned for palliative total gastrectomy owing to the risk of obstruction by the antral lesion. We performed a frozen biopsy of a para-aortic LN during surgery and found that the origin of the para-aortic LN metastasis was from undiagnosed prostate cancer. Thus, we performed radical total gastrectomy and D2 LN dissection. Post-operatively, his total prostate-specific antigen levels were high (227 ng/mL) and he was discharged 8 days after surgery without any complications.
