Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate re-evaluation after neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is important for optimal treatment selection. Nonetheless, determining the operative eligibility of patients with a modest radiologic response remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of biologic factors for patients showing a modest radiologic response to NAT and investigate the tumor markers (TMs), CA19-9 alone, DUPAN-II alone, and their combination, to create an index that combines these sialyl-Lewis antigen-related TMs associated with treatment outcomes. METHODS This study enrolled patients deemed to have a "stable disease" by RECIST classification with slight progression (tumor size increase rate, ≤20%) as their radiologic response after NAT. A sialyl-Lewis-related index (sLe index), calculated by adding one fourth of the serum DUPAN-II value to the CA19-9 value, was created. The prognostic significances of CA19-9, DUPAN-II, and the sLe index were assessed in relation to postoperative outcomes. RESULTS An sLe index lower than the cutoff value (45.25) was significantly associated with favorable disease-free survival. Moreover, the post-NAT sLe index had a higher area under the curve value for recurrence within 24 months than the post-NAT levels of CA19-9 or DUPAN-II alone. Multivariable analysis showed that a post-NAT sLe index higher than 45.25 was the single independent predictive factor for recurrence within 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Additional evaluation of biologic factors can potentially enhance patient selection, particularly for patients showing a limited radiologic response to NAT. The authors' index is a simple indicator for the biologic evaluation of multiple combined sialyl-Lewis antigen-related TMs and may offer a better predictive significance.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an RNA modification involved in RNA processing and widely found in transcripts. In cancer cells, m6A is upregulated, contributing to their malignant transformation. In this study, we analyzed gene expression and m6A modification in cancer tissues, ducts, and acinar cells derived from pancreatic cancer patients using MeRIP-seq. We found that dozens of RNAs highly modified by m6A were detected in cancer tissues compared with ducts and acinar cells. Among them, the m6A-activated mRNA TCEAL8 was observed, for the first time, as a potential marker gene in pancreatic cancer. Spatially resolved transcriptomic analysis showed that TCEAL8 was highly expressed in specific cells, and activation of cancer-related signaling pathways was observed relative to TCEAL8-negative cells. Furthermore, among TCEAL8-positive cells, the cells expressing the m6A-modifying enzyme gene METTL3 showed co-activation of Notch and mTOR signaling, also known to be involved in cancer metastasis. Overall, these results suggest that m6A-activated TCEAL8 is a novel marker gene involved in the malignant transformation of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cell-derived sheets are of global interest for regenerative therapy. Transplanting a sheet for abdominal organs requires a device for laparoscopic delivery to minimize invasiveness. Here, using a porcine model, we aimed to confirm the feasibility of a device developed to deliver sheets to the thoracic cavity in a laparoscopic transplantation procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used the device to transplant human skeletal myoblast cell sheets onto the liver and measured extra-corporeal, intra-abdominal, and total procedure times for sheet transplantation. Tissues, including the liver and the sheet, were collected two days after transplantation and analyzed histologically. RESULTS In all experiments (n = 27), all sheets were successfully placed at target locations. The mean (± standard deviation) extra-corporeal, intra-abdominal, and total procedure times were 44 ± 29, 33 ± 12, and 77 ± 36 s, respectively. We found no difference between the two surgeons in procedure times. Histological analyses showed no liver damage with the transplantation and that sheets were transplanted closely onto the liver tissue without gaps. CONCLUSION We confirmed the feasibility of a simple universal device to transplant cell-derived sheets via laparoscopic surgery. This device could support a minimally invasive procedure for sheet transplantation.

Abstract
Postoperative CA19-9 elevation after pancreatic cancer resection suggests recurrence but can also occur in benign conditions. This study aimed to investigate the interpretation of postoperative CA19-9 elevation after pancreatic cancer surgery in terms of cancer recurrence. A cohort of patients undergoing pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer at our hospital was included. Among them, 52 patients exhibited postoperative CA19-9 elevation without radiological evidence of recurrence. These patients were evaluated with follow-up CA19-9 measurements. The CA19-9 increase rates were calculated based on the first elevation and the follow-up measurement. The association between the CA19-9 increase rate and tumor recurrence was assessed. Patients with a CA19-9 increase rate of ≥ 30% had a significantly higher frequency of recurrence within 3 months compared to those without such an increase (p = 0.0002). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a CA19-9 increase rate of ≥ 30% was an independent risk factor for recurrence (odds ratio 8.17, p = 0.0309). The CA19-9 value at the first elevation (p = 0.1794) and at the follow-up measurement (p = 0.1121) were not associated with recurrence. After the first postoperative CA19-9 elevation, the CA19-9 increase rate based on follow-up measurements can serve as a predictive factor for tumor recurrence.

Abstract
The clinical impact of replaced right hepatic artery (rRHA) resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not been thoroughly investigated. We therefore assessed the short- and long-term effects of rRHA resection during PD, with special reference to alterations in the volumetric profile of the liver. Patients with rRHA were divided into two groups based on the presence (R group) or absence (nR group) of resection. The nR group included cases of rRHA resection and reconstruction. We compared the postoperative short-term complications and detailed liver volume profile by CT volumetry in the long term between the R and nR groups. Forty-seven patients were eligible for the analyses of short-term outcomes (R: n = 7, nR: n = 40), and no marked difference was observed in the incidence of short-term postoperative complications. The patient cohort for the long-term investigations included 34 cases (R: n = 6, nR: n = 28), excluding patients with early recurrence. There was no significant difference in the preoperative liver volume profiles between the two groups. At 12 postoperative months, although the whole liver (WL) volume did not significantly change in either group, the ratio of the volume of the anterior/posterior sections significantly increased in the R group (R: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.01 vs. 1.28, p < 0.05; nR: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.40 vs. 1.33, p = 0.99). Long-term rRHA resection did not significantly affect the WL volume with alteration of the liver volumetric profile of each section.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High skeletal muscle mass might be a prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, the underlying reason is unclear. We hypothesized that myokines, which are cytokines secreted by the skeletal muscle, function as suppressors of PDAC. We specifically examined irisin, a myokine, which plays a critical role in the modulation of metabolism, to clarify the anticancer mechanisms. METHODS First, the effect of the conditioned medium (CM) from skeletal muscle cells and from irisin-knockdown skeletal muscle cells on PDAC cell lines was evaluated. We then investigated the effects and anticancer mechanism of irisin in PDAC cells, and evaluated the anticancer effect of recombinant irisin in a PDAC xenograft mouse model. Finally, patients undergoing pancreatic resection for PDAC were divided into two groups based on their serum irisin level, and the long-term outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS The CM enhanced gemcitabine sensitivity by inducing apoptosis and decreasing cell migration by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in PDAC cell lines. The CM derived from irisin-knockdown skeletal muscle cells did not affect the PDAC cell lines. The addition of recombinant irisin to PDAC cell lines facilitated sensitivity to gemcitabine by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and decreased migration by inhibiting EMT via the transforming growth factor-β/SMAD pathway. Xenografts injected with gemcitabine and recombinant irisin grew slower than the xenografts injected with gemcitabine alone. The overall survival was prolonged in the high-irisin group compared with that in the low-irisin group. CONCLUSIONS Skeletal muscle-derived irisin may affect PDAC by enhancing its sensitivity to gemcitabine and suppressing EMT.

Abstract
Tumor endothelial cells (TECs), which are thought to be structurally and functionally different from normal endothelial cells (NECs), are increasingly attracting attention as a therapeutic target in hypervascular malignancies. Although colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) tumors are hypovascular, inhibitors of angiogenesis are a key drug in multidisciplinary therapy, and TECs might be involved in the development and progression of cancer. Here, we analyzed the function of TEC in the CRLM tumor microenvironment. We used a murine colon cancer cell line (CT26) and isolated TECs from CRLM tumors. TECs showed higher proliferation and migration than NECs. Coinjection of CT26 and TECs yielded rapid tumor formation in vivo. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that coinjection of CT26 and TECs increased vessel formation and Ki-67+ cells. Transcriptome analysis identified kallikrein-related peptide 10 (KLK10) as a candidate target. Coinjection of CT26 and TECs after KLK10 downregulation with siRNA suppressed tumor formation in vivo. TEC secretion of KLK10 decreased after KLK10 downregulation, and conditioned medium after KLK10 knockdown in TECs suppressed CT26 proliferative activity. Double immunofluorescence staining of KLK10 and CD31 in CRLM tissues revealed a significant correlation between poor prognosis and positive KLK10 expression in TECs and tumor cells. On multivariate analysis, KLK10 expression was an independent prognostic factor in disease-free survival. In conclusion, KLK10 derived from TECs accelerates colon cancer cell proliferation and hematogenous liver metastasis formation. KLK10 in TECs might offer a promising therapeutic target in CRLM.

Abstract
Insufficient cancer treatment can induce senescent cancer cell formation and treatment resistance. The characteristics of induced senescent cancer (iSnCa) cells remain unclear. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a low and nondurable response rate to current treatments. Our study aimed to analyze the properties of iSnCa cells and the relationship between cellular senescence and prognosis in PDAC. We evaluated the characteristics of gemcitabine-induced senescent cancer cells and the effect of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors released by iSnCa cells on surrounding PDAC cells. The relationship between cellular senescence and the prognosis was investigated in 50 patients with PDAC treated with gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Exposure to 5 ng/mL gemcitabine-induced senescence, decreased proliferation and increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase-cell staining without cell death in PDAC cells; the expression of glutaminase1 (GLS1) and SASP factors also increased and caused epithelial-mesenchymal transition in surrounding PDAC cells. iSnCa cells were selectively removed by the GLS1 inhibitor bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide (BPTES) through apoptosis induction. Cellular senescence was induced in PDAC cells via insufficient gemcitabine in subcutaneous tumor model mice. GLS1 expression was an independent prognostic factor in patients with PDAC who received gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This is the first study to identify the relationship between senescence and GLS1 in PDAC. Low-dose gemcitabine-induced senescence and increased GLS1 expression were observed in PDAC cells. Cellular senescence may contribute to treatment resistance of PDAC, hence targeting GLS1 in iSnCa cells may improve the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
AIM Tumor Ki-67 expression reflects prognosis and cancer grade, and biopsy-based preoperative assessment of Ki-67 expression is key to treatment. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values obtained with this imaging may noninvasively predict Ki-67 by reflecting tumor cell density and limited water molecule movement from irregular alignment. This study aimed to investigate the ability of ADC values to predict Ki-67 expression in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). METHOD We retrospectively analyzed 39 cases of ICC confirmed by surgical pathology. All patients had undergone magnetic resonance imaging, and ADC values (mean, minimum, and maximum) were calculated. Ki-67 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and patients were divided into groups of high (n = 18) and low (n = 21) Ki-67 expression. To assess the diagnostic performance of the ADC values for Ki-67 expression, we used the receiver operating characteristic curve and compared the areas under the curve (AUC). RESULTS The mean and minimum ADC values were significantly lower in the group with high Ki-67 expression. For predicting high Ki-67 expression, the AUC values were 0.701 for mean ADC, 0.818 for minimum ADC, and 0.571 for maximum ADC. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the minimum ADC values were 88.9% and 76.2%, respectively. In addition, with ADC values combined, the AUC increased to 0.831. Apparent diffusion coefficient is a useful predictor of Ki-67 expression level in ICC. CONCLUSION Apparent diffusion coefficient values, especially minimum ADC values, can noninvasively predict ICC associated with high Ki-67 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) can cause intra-abdominal hemorrhage and abscesses, leading to surgery-related deaths after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), its preoperative prediction is important to develop strategies for surgical procedures and perioperative management. This study aimed to establish a novel prediction model for CR-POPF using preoperative markers. METHODS On a training set of 180 patients who underwent PD at the Yamaguchi University Hospital, a combination of CR-POPF predictors were explored using the leave-one-out method with a unique discrete Bayes classifier. This predictive model was confirmed using a validation set of 366 patients who underwent PD at the Osaka University Hospital. RESULTS In the training set, CR-POPF occurred in 60 (33%) of 180 patients and 130 (36%) of 366 patients in the validation set using selected markers. In patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the main pancreatic duct (MPD) index showed the highest prognostic performance and could differentiate CR-POPF with 87% sensitivity and 81% specificity among 84 patients in the training set. In the validation set, the sensitivity and specificity of the MPD index-based model for 130 PDAC samples were 93% and 87%, respectively. In patients with non-PDAC, the MPD index/body mass index (BMI) combination showed the highest prognostic performance and could differentiate CR-POPF with 84% sensitivity and 57% specificity among 96 patients in the training set. In the validation set, the sensitivity and specificity of the MPD index/BMI-based model for 236 non-PDAC samples were 85% and 53%, respectively. CONCLUSION We developed a novel prediction model for pancreatic fistulas after PD using only preoperative markers. The MPD index and MPD index/BMI combination will be useful for CR-POPF assessment in PDAC and non-PDAC samples, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although gemcitabine-based chemotherapy is most recommended for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), its effectiveness is limited because of drug resistance. Given thalidomide's anti-tumor effects in solid tumors, we investigated the effect of avadomide, a novel thalidomide analog, on PDAC and explored its anti-tumor mechanisms. METHODS PDAC cell lines, including gemcitabine-resistant (GR) clones derived from MiaPaCa2 cells, were used to evaluate the effects of avadomide. An annexin V assay, a cell cycle assay, and western blot analysis were performed to explain the mechanism of avadomide as an anti-tumor reagent. Moreover, we investigated the anti-tumor effect on tumor growth using a subcutaneous xenograft murine model. RESULTS Avadomide showed anti-tumor effects in human PDAC cell lines. The proportion of apoptotic cells and G0/G1 phase cells after avadomide treatment increased, especially in the GR PDAC clones. Western blot analysis also showed the induction of the apoptotic pathway by inhibiting the NF-κB process and G1 phase cell cycle arrest. The xenograft murine model revealed that the proportion of viable cells in the avadomide-treated group was lower than that in the untreated group. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that avadomide could be a novel therapeutic option to overcome gemcitabine resistance in patients with PDAC.

Abstract
In cases of acute liver failure (ALF) with hepatic coma, early liver transplantation, including ABO-incompatible (ABOi) living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), should be considered. The ABO antibody barrier can be reduced using plasma exchange (PE) and the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. Plasma exchange is also performed for drug-induced ALF and is effective for desensitization. Rituximab treatment usually requires 14 days. There is presently no established desensitization protocol for ABOi-LDLT for ALF. Here, we report a case of drug-induced ALF with hepatic coma, which was treated with ABOi-LDLT using PE and rituximab 8 days prior to surgery. A 33-year-old female, with a history of headaches for which she was taking analgesics daily, developed drug-induced ALF with hepatic coma. Her ABOi sister desired to become a liver donor. We initiated desensitization using rituximab (500 mg) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF, 2000 mg/day), followed by five sessions of PE. Eight days after rituximab administration, ABOi-LDLT with splenectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the patient received local infusion via portal vein for 14 days and immunosuppression with tacrolimus, methylprednisolone, and MMF. No episode of cellular or antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) was observed. The patient was discharged uneventfully 56 days after ABOi-LDLT with no problems up to 15 months after the transplant.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate whether clinical outcomes varied based on the tumor location within the pancreatic body and tail in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). METHODS Ninety-five patients who had undergone a distal pancreatectomy for resectable (R) or borderline resectable (BR) PC within the pancreatic body or tail region were retrospectively investigated and divided into four groups (three subgroups of R-PC according to tumor location, and BR-PC): R-PC in the pancreatic body region (group A, n = 24), R-PC on the right side of the pancreatic tail region (group B, n = 17), R-PC on the left side of the pancreatic tail region (group C, n = 29), and BR-PC located in any region within the pancreatic body and tail (group BR, n = 25). RESULTS Group C patients showed a higher incidence of pretreatment splenic artery and vein involvement than group A and B patients (splenic artery: 8.3/11.8/41.4%, p < 0.010; splenic vein: 25.0/23.5/79.3%, p < 0.010, in groups A/B/C, respectively). The overall survival of group C patients was significantly unfavorable compared to that of group A and B patients (median: 3.9/4.2/2.3 years in groups A/B/C, p = 0.029, respectively). Pretreatment clinical factors were comparable between group C and group BR. Median survival rates were comparable between group C and BR patients (2.3 and 2.0 years, respectively) (p = 0.93). CONCLUSIONS Differences in anatomical location within the pancreatic body and tail characterize the unfavorable outcomes of PC near the splenic hilum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) has a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis, and chemotherapy options are limited. The prevalence of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in iCCA has recently emerged as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target. A method to quantify the expression of CAFs is needed; however, a simple and reliable quantification method has not yet been established. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish a simple and reliable method of quantifying CAFs. METHODS A total of 71 patients with iCCA who underwent curative resection from November 2006 to October 2020 in our hospital were investigated. Immunohistochemistry for alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was performed and α-SMA-positive cells were quantified by an automated analysis system (new method) and visually counted (conventional method). The times required for measurement and the prognosis were compared. RESULTS The results of the quantification of CAFs by the new method were significantly correlated with the results by the conventional method, and the time required for measurement was significantly shorter with the new method. Patients with high-intensity CAFs showed a significantly poorer prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) and the cumulative hepatic recurrence rate. In addition, high α-SMA levels were a significant risk factor for OS in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS This new method may contribute to the management of patients with iCCA, not only for the prediction of prognosis of patients with iCCA, but also for the indication of targeted therapy against CAFs.

Abstract
PURPOSE In biliary tract cancer (BTC), malignancy is strongest at the invasion front. To improve the BTC prognosis, the invasion front should be controlled. We evaluated tumor-stroma crosstalk at the tumor center and at the invasion front of BTC lesions. We investigated the expression of SPARC, a marker of cancer-associated fibroblasts, and determined its ability to predict BTC prognosis after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NAC-RT). METHODS We performed immunohistochemistry to evaluate SPARC expression in resected specimens from patients that underwent BTC surgery. We established highly invasive (HI) clones in two BTC cell lines (NOZ, CCLP1), and performed mRNA microarrays to compare gene expression in parental and HI cells. RESULTS Among 92 specimens, stromal SPARC expression was higher at the invasion front than at the lesion center (p = 0.014). Among 50 specimens from patients treated with surgery alone, high stromal SPARC expression at the invasion front was associated with a poor prognosis (recurrence-free survival: p = 0.033; overall survival: p = 0.017). Coculturing fibroblasts with NOZ-HI cells upregulated fibroblast SPARC expression. mRNA microarrays showed that connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was upregulated in NOZ-HI and CCLP1-HI cells. A CTGF knockdown suppressed cell invasion in NOZ-HI cells. Exogeneous CTGF upregulated SPARC expression in fibroblasts. SPARC expression at the invasion front was significantly lower after NAC-RT, compared to surgery alone (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION CTGF was associated with tumor-stroma crosstalk in BTC. CTGF activated stromal SPARC expression, which promoted tumor progression, particularly at the invasion front. SPARC expression at the invasion front after NAC-RT may serve as a prognosis predictor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The isolated bile duct is sometimes observed in the right liver graft of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Even though, as a rescue option, it is known to use the recipient's cystic duct (CyD) for duct-to-duct anastomosis, the long-term feasibility of rescue duct-to-CyD (D-CyD) anastomosis remains unclear. METHODS We prospectively collected data in the right liver-LDLT cohort and compared rescue D-CyD anastomosis (n = 4) with standard duct-to-hepatic duct (D-HD, n = 45) anastomosis (D-CyD group, n = 4). RESULTS The observation period was over 5 years (range, 68-171 mo) after LDLT. The D-CyD group included the following anastomosis procedures: anastomosis between the intrahepatic bile duct of the graft and the CyD of the recipient and anastomosis between the posterior HD and the CyD. Surgical outcomes between the 2 groups are similar, excluding the time for the biliary reconstruction (D-CyD, 116 ± 13 min vs D-HD, 57 ± 3 min). During the period, one recipient in the D-CyD group exhibited postoperative biliary stricture and biliary stone, and 6 recipients underwent those complications in the D-HD group (D-CyD, 25.0% vs D-HD, 13.3%) All recipients in the D-CyD group are presently alive and have not experienced liver dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that rescue D-CyD anastomosis for an isolated bile duct in a right liver LDLT is acceptable as a life-saving option in terms of long-term feasibility.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic cancer carries a high risk of massive intraoperative blood loss. The artery first approach (AFA) prevents blood loss during PD, but the optimal approach is unclear. The first jejunal vein (FJV) often comprises multiple veins and broadly supports venous drainage of the proximal jejunum. Its ligation carries a risk of proximal jejunum congestion. Here we investigated the anatomical characteristics of PD-associated vessels and AFA approach selection based on FJV anatomy. METHODS This study included 148 Japanese living donors for liver transplantation. We reviewed their computed tomography images and assessed the anatomical pattern of PD-associated vessels in terms of FJV anatomy. RESULTS The FJV traveled posterior to the superior mesenteric artery in 128 patients (86.5%, dorsal group) and anterior in 20 (13.5%, ventral group). The predominant draining vein of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal vein was the superior mesenteric vein in the ventral group (87.5%) and the FJV in the dorsal group (97.9%). Compared with the dorsal group, the ventral group had a significantly greater percentage with the superior mesenteric vein ventral to the superior mesenteric artery (30.0% versus 10.9%) and a significantly larger posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein diameter (3.2 ± 0.9 versus 2.7 ± 0.6 mm, p = 0.0029). These results were validated in patients with pancreatic head cancer. CONCLUSIONS The anatomical characteristics of PD-associated vessels differed significantly between groups defined by FJV anatomy. Understanding the venous anatomy, especially the FJV, could support selection of the best approach in AFA for PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), complications such as hepatic artery stenosis, thrombosis, and bleeding are possible. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms (HAP) are prone to rupture, rupture hemorrhage, and increased mortality risk. Endovascular treatment of HAP may result in recurrence, even after successful embolization with thrombin. Formation of a HAP in the common hepatic artery (CHA) is challenging because the CHA is the only artery in the liver graft after OLT. Therefore, CHA embolization in HAP is not an initial option. We report a case of HAP at the CHA after OLT that was treated with endovascular therapy, resulting in the occlusion of the CHA with coil embolization, achieving a radical cure. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old man with decompensated hepatitis C virus cirrhosis underwent deceased donor whole-liver transplantation after graft failure of a living donor liver transplantation. After the second transplantation, the patient developed infectious narrow-necked HAP at the CHA associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula. Repeated transcatheter arterial embolization with thrombin and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was unsuccessful, as confirmed by postprocedure angiography, which revealed recanalization and regrowth of the HAP. Eight months after the first transcatheter arterial embolization, the patient presented with a chief complaint of abdominal pain due to an enlarged HAP. Angiography of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) revealed a collateral bypass around the bile duct from the SMA to the liver graft. Coil embolization of the HAP in the CHA completely occluded the HAP without complications. More than 2 years after coil embolization, the liver graft function test results remained within normal limits without HAP recurrence. CONCLUSIONS HAP at the CHA after liver transplantation can be fatal if ruptured. Because the liver is a highly angiogenic organ, even if initial treatment is not successful, radical treatment to occlude the CHA with HAP is possible if sufficient collateral vessels are developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective therapies have yet been established for liver regeneration in liver failure. Autologous skeletal myoblast cell sheet transplantation has been proven to improve cardiac function in patients with heart failure, and one of the mechanisms has been reported to be a paracrine effect by various growth factors associated with liver regeneration. Therefore, the present study focused on the effect of myoblast cells on liver regeneration in vitro and in vivo. METHODS We assessed the effect of myoblast cells on the cells comprising the liver in vitro in association with liver regeneration. In addition, we examined in vivo effect of skeletal myoblast cell sheet transplantation in C57/BL/6 mouse models of liver failure, such as liver fibrosis induced by thioacetamide and hepatectomy. RESULTS In vitro, the myoblast cells exhibited a capacity to promote the proliferation of hepatic epithelial cells and the angiogenesis of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and suppress the activation of hepatic stellate cells. In vivo, sheet transplantation significantly suppressed liver fibrosis in the induced liver fibrosis model and accelerated liver regeneration in the hepatectomy model. CONCLUSIONS Autologous skeletal myoblast cell sheet transplantation significantly improved the liver failure in the in vitro and in vivo models. Sheet transplantation is expected to have the potential to be a clinically therapeutic option for liver regeneration in liver failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the limited number of organ donations from deceased donors in Japan, pancreas grafts for pancreas transplantation (PTx) are frequently harvested from the donor in the same donation surgery as the liver graft. In such a situation, the common hepatic artery (CHA) and gastroduodenal artery (GDA) are dissected, resulting in decreased blood flow to the head of the pancreas graft. Therefore, GDA reconstruction using an interposition graft (I-graft) between the CHA and GDA has been traditionally performed to maintain blood flow. This study investigated the clinical significance of GDA reconstruction with the I-graft regarding the arterial patency of the pancreas graft in patients after PTx. METHODS Fifty-seven patients underwent PTx for type 1 diabetes mellitus at our hospital between 2000 and 2021. Twenty-four cases in which GDA reconstruction was performed using the I-graft and artery blood flow of the pancreas graft was evaluated by contrast-enhanced computed tomography or angiography were included in this study. RESULTS The patency of the I-graft was 95.8%, and only one patient had a thrombus in the I-graft. Nineteen patients (79.2%) had no thrombus in the artery of the pancreas graft; the other five cases had thrombus in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The patient with the thrombus in the I-graft required graftectomy for the pancreas graft. CONCLUSIONS The patency of the I-graft was favorable. Furthermore, the clinical significance of the GDA reconstruction with the I-graft is suggested to maintain blood flow in the pancreas head if the SMA is occluded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most frequent infections after pancreas transplantation (PTx), and it is unclear whether CMV infection is associated with pancreas graft loss. A limited number of studies about the relationship between CMV infection and pancreas graft loss have been reported from Western countries, but there have been no reports from Japan. This study investigated the relationship between CMV infection and pancreas graft loss after PTx in a single Japanese institution. METHODS This study included 58 patients who underwent PTx from deceased donors from April 2000 to March 2021 in our institution. We assessed pancreas graft loss based on CMV infection and disease and investigated the causes of graft loss, the time of onset of CMV disease, and the time of graft loss for each case. RESULTS The numbers of patients in the 4 categories of donor (D) and recipient (R) pretransplant anti-CMV antibody status were as follows: 4 (6.9%) in the D-/R- group, 6 (10.3%) in the D-/R+ group, 34 (58.6%) in the D+/R+ group, and 14 (24.1%) in the D+/R- group. Of the 58 patients, 74.1% and 44.1% received diagnoses of CMV infection and disease after PTx, respectively. There were no significant differences in the survival rates of pancreas graft loss stratified by CMV infection (P = .1809) or disease (P = .6241). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that CMV infection and disease had no significant influence on pancreas graft loss in this Japanese institution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scoring system can predict short-term survival among patients awaiting liver transplantation and is used to allocate organs prioritizing liver transplantation. Patients with high MELD scores have been reported to have worse early graft dysfunction and survival. However, recent studies have shown that patients with high MELD scores had satisfactory graft survival, although they showed more postoperative complications. In this study, we examined the effect of the MELD score on the short-term and long-term prognosis of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS This study included 102 patients who underwent LDLT in our institution between 2005 and 2020. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to MELD score (low MELD group: ≤20, moderate MELD group: 21-30, and high MELD group: ≥31). Perioperative factors were compared among the 3 groups, and cumulative overall survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The patients' characteristics were comparable, and the median age was 54 years. Hepatitis C virus cirrhosis was the most common primary disease (n = 40), followed by hepatitis B virus (n = 11). The low MELD group consisted of 68 patients (median score: 16, 10-20); the moderate MELD group, 24 patients (median score: 24, 21-30); and the high MELD group, 10 patients (median score: 35, 31-40). The mean operative time (1241 min versus 1278 min versus 1158 min, P = .19) and mean blood loss (7517 mL vs 11162 mL vs 8808 mL, P = .71) were not significantly different among the 3 groups. The vascular and biliary complication rates were similar. The periods of intensive care unit and hospital stay tended to be longer in the high MELD group, but the difference was insignificant. The 1-year postoperative survival rate (85.3 % vs 87.5 % vs 90.0 %, P = .90) and overall survival rate were also not significantly different among the 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that LDLT patients with high MELD scores do not have a worse prognosis than those with low scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total ischemic time (TIT) potentially affects graft survival in organ transplantation. However, in simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation, the impact of TIT of the pancreas (P-TIT) and kidney graft (K-TIT) on posttransplant outcomes remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of P-TIT and K-TIT on postoperative outcomes in patients after SPK at our institution in Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 52 patients who underwent SPK at our hospital from April 2000 to March 2022. Of this patient group, the 52 patients were divided into a short P-TIT group (n = 25), long P-TIT group (n = 27), short K-TIT group (n = 42), and long K-TIT group (n = 10). Short- and long-term postoperative outcomes were compared between the groups. RESULTS The long K-TIT group had a significantly higher rate of patients who did not urinate intraoperatively (50% vs 7%; P = .0007) and those requiring postoperative hemodialysis (80% vs 38%; P = .0169), as well as a significant longer duration of postoperative hemodialysis (97 ± 147 days vs 6 ± 9 days; P = .0016). These were not significantly different between the short and long P-TIT groups. Kidney or pancreas graft survival was not significantly different between the short and long P-TIT or K-TIT groups. CONCLUSIONS Patients with prolonged K-TIT during SPK exhibited poor short-term outcomes, but no significant influence of K-TIT was identified on long-term outcomes. The P-TIT did not affect any significant outcomes. These results indicate that shortening K-TIT may improve short-term outcomes after SPK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many recent reports have described the efficacy and safety of pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (PLDH). Here we investigated the extent to which this technique could reduce patients' experienced pain. METHODS Among donor left hepatectomy procedures performed between July 2011 and November 2022, we retrospectively analyzed 20 open donor hepatectomy (ODH), 20 laparoscopy-assisted donor hepatectomy (LADH), and 5 PLDH cases. We compared these 3 procedures regarding the total amount of postoperative analgesic use (narcotics and non-narcotics) and the first date when the donor was completely pain-free, as evaluated by the patients using a pain scale. RESULTS Total postoperative fentanyl use did not significantly differ among the 3 procedures: median (range), ODH, 0.5 mg (0-2 mg); LADH 1.2 mg (0-7 mg); PLDH, 0.5 mg (0-3.5; P = .172). The percentage of patients who completely discontinued analgesics on postoperative day (POD) 5 was significantly higher for PLDH (80%) than for ODH (35%) or LADH (20%) (P = .041). The day when 50% of donors were completely pain-free on a pain scale was POD9 for ODH, POD11 for LADH, and POD5 for PLDH, significantly shorter in the PLDH group (P = .004). CONCLUSION At our institution, we found that PLDH was a useful technique for postoperative pain management compared with PDH and LADH. Our results suggest that PLDH effectively reduces the duration of postoperative analgesia use. Further studies are warranted as the number of PLDH cases gradually increases.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The analysis of CTCs as liquid biopsies provides the possibility to avoid invasive tissue biopsies, with obvious implications in cancer diagnostics and treatments. We tested new methods for v-CTCs detection in patients (pts) with pancreatic cancer (PC), and investigated the clinical potential of v-CTCs in prognosis. We analyzed the PD-L1(L1) expression in primary PC tumors, metastatic lymph nodes (LN) and v-CTCs.
Pts and Methods: 7.5 ml of venous blood was collected from 39 PC pts, either upfront surgery (U group) or pre-treatment, consisted of Gem:800mg/m2; and S-1:80mg/m2 given concurrently with IMRT to 60Gy ((NACRT:N group). To detect v-CTCs, we employed a telomerase-specific replication-selective adenovirus expressing GFP. For U group, samples were obtained before/after resection. For N group, samples were obtained before/after NACRT and after resection. To distinguish between leucocyte and cells with either epithelial or mesenchymal origin, cells were stained by anti-CD45, anti-Cytokeratin and anti-Vimentin Abs. GFP-positive and CD45-negative cells were counted as v-CTCs. To assess L1 expression in PC tissues (PC tumors and LN) and on v-CTCs, L1 IHC kit (22C3, for tissues) and anti-human L1 mAb(MIH1, for CTCs) were employed.
Results: U group: 24 pts aged 53~85 years (male/female=12/12) were enrolled. 24 pts underwent curative resection. No v-CTCs were detected in 6 pts at both before and after resection, and 5 of 6 pts survived without recurrence. V-CTCs were identified in 18 of 24 pts, and 13 of 18 pts developed liver metastasis. Marked decrease of CTC counts were seen after resection in 10 of 18 pts, but 9 pts developed recurrences. N group: 15 PC pts aged 44~77 years (male/female=4/11) were enrolled. 15 pts underwent curative resection. No v-CTCs at 3 sampling points were detected in 5 pts, and 5 pts survived without recurrences. V-CTCs was identified in 10 of 15 pts, and 4 out of 10 pts developed disease recurrence. Marked increase in CTC counts was observed after NACRT in 5 of 6 CTC-positive pts before NACRT, and 3 of 5 pts developed liver metastasis and died. NACRT may induce tumor cell dissemination into the blood circulation for CTC-positive pts. PD-L1 expression: L1 expression were assessed for 21 pts (U group:18, N group: 3). For PC tumors, L1 molecules were expressed in 12 pts and expression level of these pts were all low (57%, ≥50% [high]=0 pts, 1-49% [low]=12 pts {10%=6, 20%=4, 40%=2}, <1% [negative]=9 pts). For metastatic LNs, metastatic LNs were observed in 14 pts and L1-positive expression in these LNs were detected in only 4 pts (28%, all low expression). On the contrary, the majority of detected v-CTCs clearly expressed L1 molecule (92 CTCs out of 103 detected CTCs were L1-positive=89 %).
Conclusions: Viable CTC detection appears as a good prognostic marker. Immunotherapy with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Abs may target v-CTCs, resulted in improvement of poor prognosis.

Abstract
Objectives Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCC) is a complex disorder involving the hepatic hilum. Multiple endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography sessions are necessary for diagnosis and treatment with underlying cholangitis risk. Our aim is to clarify the initial‐drainage‐related prognostic factors of PCC. Methods This study was a single‐center retrospective study. A total of 104 consecutive patients diagnosed with PCC from January 2010 to February 2020 were enrolled. We defined the diagnostic period as the time between the first biliary drainage attempt and the final drainage when treatment, including surgery or chemotherapy, was started. We focused on this initial period and analyzed the endoscopy‐related factors that affected mortality. Results Overall survival of all PCC patients was 599 days. Overall survival of surgically treated patients and unresectable patients were 893 days and 512 days, respectively. In 48 surgically treated patients, drainage‐related cholangitis within the diagnostic period, defined as new cholangitis that occurred after the first biliary drainage attempt, worsened overall survival from 1460 days to 607 days. Endoscopic sphincterotomy, the first drainage method other than endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, and four or more endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography sessions were risk factors for drainage‐related cholangitis. Drainage‐related cholangitis increased pathological lymph node metastasis. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage as final drainage was the only prognostic factor in unresectable chemotherapy‐treated patients. Conclusions Drainage‐related cholangitis worsened the prognosis in PCC patients who underwent surgery. Appropriate endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography strategies, especially during the diagnostic period, are of great importance in PCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) contacting major arteries such as the celiac, common hepatic, and superior mesenteric artery is linked to poor prognosis and classified as borderline resectable. Although PDAC involving the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is considered resectable, the prognostic impact of GDA involvement remains unclear. Here we investigated the prognostic impact of GDA involvement in PDAC after resection. METHODS This study included 105 patients with resectable PDAC or borderline resectable with portal vein involvement. Patients were divided into two groups: those with tumor-GDA contact ≤ 180° and those with GDA contact > 180°. We evaluated the prognostic impact of GDA involvement between these groups. RESULTS Both recurrence-free and overall survival after the surgery were significantly poorer with GDA contact > 180° than ≤ 180°. The poorer prognosis with GDA contact > 180° was verified by multivariate analysis and propensity score matching analysis to match patient backgrounds between the groups. The frequency of postoperative distant metastasis was also significantly higher in patients with GDA contact > 180°. CONCLUSIONS GDA involvement is an independent factor significantly associated with postoperative survival in PDAC, and the poorer prognosis with GDA involvement may be linked to the development of postoperative distant metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The change impact of body composition during neoadjuvant therapy on clinical outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between changes in body composition during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) and postoperative outcomes in patients with PDAC undergoing pancreatectomy, using three-dimensional images. METHODS We reviewed 66 consecutive patients with resectable/borderline resectable PDAC receiving gemcitabine and S-1 with radiotherapy between April 2010 and June 2016. Body compositions were evaluated pre- and post-NACRT. All patients were hospitalized and supplied with regulated diet during NACRT treatment. RESULTS Psoas major muscle volume index (PMI), abdominal fat volume index, and visceral fat volume index decreased significantly after NACRT (P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, respectively). The post-NACRT CA19-9 level decreased significantly in the small-PMI-decrease group compared with the large-PMI-decrease group (P = 0.046). Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of the large-PMI-decrease group were significantly poorer than those of the small-PMI-decrease group (P = 0.002, P = 0.006, respectively). On the other hand, there were no significant differences in RFS and OS between groups with high and low PMI, at the point of either pre-NACRT (P = 0.117, P = 0.123, respectively) or post-NACRT (P = 0.065, P = 0.064, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified a large percentage decrease in PMI as an independent risk factor for recurrence and death (P = 0.003, P = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Loss of skeletal muscle mass during NACRT was an independent risk factor for survival in patients with PDAC.

Abstract
Cancer‑associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are implicated in the strong malignancy of pancreatic cancer (PC). Various CAF subtypes have different functions, and their heterogeneity likely influence the malignancy of PC. Meanwhile, it is known that senescent cells can create a tumor‑promoting microenvironment by inducing a senescence‑associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In the present study, the effects of individual differences in CAFs on PC malignancy were investigated with a focus on cellular senescence. First, primary cultures of CAFs from 8 PC patients were generated and co‑cultured with PC cell lines. This co‑culture assay showed that differences in CAFs induce differences in PC cell proliferation. It was further investigated which clinical factors affected the malignant potential of CAF and it was found that the difference of malignant potential of each CAF was marginally related to the age of original patients. Next, to verify the senescence of CAFs really affected the malignant potential of CAF, PCR array analysis of each CAF sample was performed and it was revealed that expression of genes about cellular senescence and SASP such as tumor protein p53, nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1, and IL6, are related to the malignant potential of CAFs impacting on PC proliferation. Finally, to elucidate the effect of p53‑mediated cellular senescence of CAFs on malignant potential of PC, it was examined whether CAFs with the treatment of p53 inhibitor affected PC cell proliferation in co‑culture assays. The treatment of CAFs with p53 inhibitor significantly suppressed PC cell proliferation. In addition, a comparison of the concentration of IL‑6, a SASP cytokine, in the co‑culture supernatant showed a significant decrease in the sample after p53 inhibitor treatment. In conclusion, the present results suggested that proliferation potential of PC may be related to p53‑mediated cellular senescence and SASP of CAFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After pancreatojejunostomy for pancreatic head resection, contrast-enhanced computed tomography sometimes reveals a hypoattenuated area at the pancreatojejunostomy site. The clinical impact of this hypoattenuated area, in terms of postoperative pancreatic fistula, is unknown. METHODS Among 309 patients undergoing pancreatic head resection with pancreatojejunostomy reconstruction at Osaka University Hospital from 2012 to 2020, 105 exhibited drain amylase levels over 3× the upper limit of normal. According to contrast-enhanced computed tomography on postoperative days 3-14, these patients were divided into two groups-evident hypoattenuated area group (≥ 5 mm; n = 46) and subtle hypoattenuated area group (< 5 mm; n = 59)-and evaluated for clinically relevant pancreatic fistula. RESULTS Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula was significantly more common with the evident hypoattenuated group (80.4%; 37/46) than the subtle hypoattenuated group (40.7%; 24/59) (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis identified four factors related to clinically relevant pancreatic fistula formation: male sex (P = 0.0230), main pancreatic duct diameter < 3 mm (P = 0.0007), operative time > 475 min (P = 0.0161), and evident hypoattenuated area group (P = 0.0050). Hypoattenuated area ≥ 5 mm was associated with clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (60.7% sensitivity; 79.6% specificity). CONCLUSION Evident hypoattenuated area on postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography was an independent risk factor for clinically relevant pancreatic fistula. Patients experiencing increased drain amylase levels may benefit from contrast-enhanced computed tomography assessment to predict clinically relevant pancreatic fistula formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal graft perforation (DGP) is a serious complication after pancreas transplantation (PTx) and can lead to pancreas graft loss. Here, we investigated whether the placement of a decompression tube (DT) for the duodenal graft during PTx is clinically useful for preventing DGP. METHODS This study included 54 patients who received PTx for type 1 diabetes at our institution between 2000 and 2020. Among these cases, 28 included DT placement (51.9%; DT group), and the remaining 26 without DT placement (non-DT group) were used as historical controls for comparison to the cases with DT placement. RESULTS Among all 54 cases, DGP occurred in 7 (13.0%). The DGP incidence did not significantly differ between the DT group (10.7%, 3/28 cases) and the non-DT group (15.4%, 4/26 cases) (P = .6994). Logistic regression analysis showed that DT placement did not affect DGP risk. Notably, 5 cases in the DT group (17.9%) exhibited adverse effects that were likely the result of DT placement, including bleeding from tube contact (2 cases), enterocutaneous fistula at the DT placement site (2 cases), and intraabdominal abscess around the DT site (1 case). Pancreas graft survival after PTx did not significantly differ between the DT and non-DT groups (P = .6260). CONCLUSIONS The DT group did not exhibit superior outcomes compared with the non-DT group. This result suggests that DT placement did not have a clinical impact on DGP prevention after PTx.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) rarely ruptures because of their surrounding fibrotic capsules and has never been reported with detailed information regarding prerupture and postrupture states. We report a case of MCN rupture where performed emergency surgery was performed while waiting for elective surgery. A 54-year-old woman was referred to our department for a pancreatic cystic tumor with slight abdominal pain. A cystic tumor with a nodular lesion was found, with a contrast effect measuring 78 mm in diameter. On day 21, the patient visited our hospital complaining of increased abdominal pain, but few signs of peritonitis were observed. Tests conducted revealed moderate ascites, marginal shrinkage of the cyst diameter, and a slight elevation of inflammatory markers. We suspected an MCN rupture and immediately performed distal pancreatectomy. Brown turbid ascites and rupture of the anterior wall of the cyst were observed. In the ascites, amylase levels were not elevated, and bacterial cultures were negative. The histopathological diagnosis was noninvasive mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. At 9 months after surgery, she started chemotherapy because of a recurrence of the peritoneal dissemination. This case provided valuable insight into the rupture of MCNs using thorough imaging techniques, laboratory, and physical findings before and after rupturing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (Osler disease) is a genetic disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. It is characterized by widespread telangiectasia in multiple organs. Liver involvement of FNH is relatively common, but liver cancer is very rare, and there are few reports on hepatectomy or postoperative complications. We report a very rare case in which hepatectomy was performed for a patient with Osler disease. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 39-year-old man with Osler disease who had been previously diagnosed with multiple FNH and who had been followed for 8 years. During follow-up, the diameter of an S6 lesion gradually increased from 30 to 50 mm; no other lesions increased in size. We decided to perform partial liver resection as total biopsy for the growing tumor, due to the possibility that the growing tumor lesion included malignant components. The pathological examination revealed no obvious malignancy, which was finally diagnosed FNH. The postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 14th day after surgery. In the second month after discharge, he was transferred to our hospital with sudden abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium with severe tenderness. CT showed extravasation of contrast medium from the hepatic dissection surface in S6, and the hematoma extended to the pelvic floor. Emergency IVR was performed and revealed leakage of the contrast medium from the A6 branch. We embolized the A6 with Lipiodol. After embolization, there were no major problems, and the patient was discharged on the 9th day after the treatment. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative hemorrhage often occurs within 24 h after surgery, and 2 months after surgery is considered to be the late stage of the wound healing process, and postoperative hemorrhage at this timepoint is considered rare. This unexpected delayed postoperative hemorrhage may have been related to the etiology and pathology of Osler disease, nevertheless, case reports of hepatectomy for patients with Osler disease are limited. We, therefore, report the present case with a review of the relevant literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duke pancreatic mono-clonal antigen type 2 (DUPAN-II) is a famous tumour maker for pancreatic cancer (PC) as well as carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). We evaluated the clinical implications of DUPAN-II levels as a biological indicator for PC during preoperative chemoradiation therapy (CRT). METHODS This retrospective analysis included data from 221 consecutive patients with resectable and borderline resectable PC at diagnosis who underwent preoperative CRT between 2008 and 2017. We focused on 73 patients with elevated pre-CRT DUPAN-II levels (> 230 U/mL; more than 1.5 times the cut-off value for the normal range). Pre- and post-CRT DUPAN-II levels and the changes in DUPAN-II ratio were measured. RESULTS Univariate analysis identified normalisation of DUPAN-II levels after CRT as a significant prognostic factor (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.06, confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-4.24, p = 0.042). Total normalisation ratio was 49% (n = 36). Overall survival (OS) in patients with normalised DUPAN-II levels was significantly longer than that in 73 patients with elevated levels (5-year survival, 55% vs. 21%, p = 0.032) and in 60 patients who underwent tumour resection (5-year survival, 59% vs. 26%, p = 0.039). CONCLUSION Normalisation of DUPAN-II levels during preoperative CRT was a significant prognostic factor and could be an indicator to monitor treatment efficacy and predict patient prognosis.

Abstract
Colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) appears in 25-50% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, CRLM with bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) is rare and often diagnosed after surgical resection. We report a case of CRLM associated with BDTT in a 79 year-old woman. She underwent sigmoid colectomy for sigmoid colon carcinoma at the age of 64. Fifteen years later, abdominal computed tomography revealed a liver tumor with a biliary tumor thrombus in segment IV/V and localized dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a tumor in liver segment IV/V and mass in the bile duct (B4). Extended left hepatic lobectomy was performed under the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or metastatic liver tumor with tumor development in the intrahepatic bile duct. The resected specimen showed significant cancer infiltration into the intrahepatic bile duct (B4), forming a tumor thrombus. The tumor was a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, histologically similar to sigmoid colon cancer. CRLM with BDTT may have a relatively low invasive potential of malignancy with a long interval after primary resection. When a patient with a history of CRC presents with BDTT, the possibility of CRLM with BDTT and surgical treatment should be considered, because resection could lead to a good prognosis. It is important to ensure a secure surgical margin in the bile ducts during surgery and anatomical hepatic resection should be considered.

Abstract
A 72-year-old man underwent hemodialysis because of end-stage renal failure. The patient often suffered acute pancreatitis and was diagnosed with main duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN). Moreover, skin erythema with pain occurred and was treated as cellulitis using antibiotics; however, the skin lesions did not improve. Skin pathological findings indicated subcutaneous nodular fat necrosis due to pancreatitis. Subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed, and the skin erythema with pain symptoms were relieved. The final diagnoses were ampullary carcinoma and intraductal papillary mucinous adenoma(IPMA). We experienced a rare case of subcutaneous nodular fat necrosis due to IPMN.

Abstract
A 57-year-old man was diagnosed with an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)located at segment 4, attached to the hilar bile ducts, with metastasis of the lymph nodes bordering the right hepatic artery. The ICC was unresectable, and chemotherapy with GCS was administered for 7 months. Although the primary tumor site did not change after the chemotherapy, the lymph nodes shrunk slightly and we decided to perform conversion surgery(CS). Radical resection by means of a left hepatectomy was safely performed, and the metastasis of lymph nodes were dissected from the right hepatic artery. Although the surgical indication for CS under chemotherapy for unresectable ICC is controversial, we herein report a successful case.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the relationship between pancreatic fibrosis measured by the extracellular volume fraction (ECV) using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and the histologic pancreatic fibrosis fraction and investigate the relationship between pancreatic fibrosis and pancreatic cancer. METHOD The study included 88 consecutive patients (48 males, 40 females; median age, 69 years; range, 17-89 years); 47 had pancreatic cancer, and 41 had other diseases. Fifty-two cases were evaluated pathologically for pancreatic fibrosis. The histologic pancreatic fibrosis fraction was quantified using image analysis software in nontumorous pancreatic tissue at the resection stump using 2-µm-thick Azan-stained slides. Two board-certified radiologists measured ECV in the pancreatic parenchyma at an estimated transection line. The correlation between histologic pancreatic fibrosis fraction and ECV was investigated, and whether the ECV value could be used as a biomarker for pancreatic cancer was investigated. RESULTS The histologic pancreatic fibrosis fraction was significantly correlated with the ECV (r = 0.64, P < 0.01). Pancreatic fibrosis evaluated by ECV was higher in pancreatic cancer patients than in other patients (P < 0.01). On receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the ECV had good diagnostic accuracy for the development of pancreatic cancer (cut-off value 32.8%; sensitivity 61.0%, specificity 85.1%). ECV was identified on multivariate analysis as an independent risk factor for pancreatic cancer (odds ratio 1.16; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Extracellular volume fraction was strongly related to the histologic pancreatic fibrosis fraction, which was independently associated with pancreatic cancer. Thus, extracellular volume fraction is an imaging biomarker that reflects the progression of pancreatic fibrosis and may potentially help predict the development of pancreatic cancer, although further investigation will be needed.

Abstract
In cases after pancreas transplantation (PTx), the pancreas graft might be lost for various reasons, including a pancreatoduodenal graft-related complication or patient death with a functioning graft. Although the causes seem to have distinct characteristics, the causes of pancreas graft loss have not been characterized. This study aimed to characterize the causes of pancreas graft loss by analyzing data from a Japanese nationwide registry. This study included 391 patients who received simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation among 461 patients with PTx during the study period in approved institutions in Japan. We characterized each cause in terms of the timing of the cause-specific graft loss and preoperative factors associated with graft loss based on nationwide data from a Japanese nationwide registry. Among the 391 cases, 113 lost the pancreas graft due to patient death with a functioning graft (DWFG; n = 34, 44.2%), graft thrombus (n = 22, 28.6%), or chronic rejection (CR; n = 7, 9.1%). Average (± standard deviation) time from PTx to graft loss due to DWFG, graft thrombus, and CR was 3.70 ± 4.36, 0.02 ± 0.01, and 2.37 ± 2.08 years, respectively. Duration of type 1 diabetes mellitus and donor body mass index were significantly associated with pancreas graft loss due to DWFG and graft thrombus, respectively. This characterization showed that the timing and preoperative factors associated with pancreas graft loss were significantly different for different causes of graft loss. These results may inform PTx follow-up protocols to ensure that appropriate care is based on the cause of graft loss.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
SMAD4 is a key mediator of TGFβ signaling and one of the mutated genes in extrahepatic bile duct cancer (eBDC). It has been also reported that SMAD4 has dual functions, in carcinogenesis via silencing and in tumor invasion/metastasis via signaling, depending on tumor stage. We previously visualized more nuclear transitioning functional SMAD4 at the tumor invasion front than the central lesion. So, we investigated the localization of functional SMAD4 (e.g., invasion area or metastasis lesion) and its association with chemotherapy and chemo-radiation therapy.
Methods
We performed SMAD4 immunostaining on 98 resected eBDC specimens and evaluated the presence of the functional form of nuclear SMAD4 at the central lesion, invasion front, and metastatic lymph node. We also examined the influence on chemotherapy after recurrence (n = 33) and neoadjuvant chemo-radiation therapy (NAC-RT, n = 21) and the prognostic value of using retrospective data.
Results
In 73 patients without NAC-RT, 8.2% had loss of SMAD4 expression and 23.3% had heterogeneous expression. Patients without SMAD4 expression at any site had significantly poorer overall survival (OS) than other patients (P = 0.014). Expression of SMAD4 at the invasion front was related to better survival (recurrence-free survival [RFS] P = 0.033; OS P = 0.047), and no SMAD4 expression at the metastatic lymph node was related to poorer OS (P = 0.011). The patients who had high SMAD4 expression had poorer prognosis after recurrence (RFS P = 0.011; OS P = 0.056). At the residual cancer in the resected specimen, SMAD4 was highly expressed after NAC-RT (P = 0.039).
Conclusions
Loss of SMAD4 protein expression was a poor prognostic factor in eBDC at resectable stage. However, the intensity of functional SMAD4 in eBDC is a marker of resistance to chemo-radiotherapy and malignant potential at advanced stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is unsatisfactory, and the identification of novel therapeutic targets is urgently needed. Clinical studies on the antisense oligonucleotide that targets clusterin (CLU) expression have been conducted and have shown efficacy in other cancers. We aimed to investigate the effects of CLU in PDAC and the underlying mechanisms with a view to the clinical application of existing drugs. METHODS We knocked down CLU in PDAC cells and evaluated changes in cell proliferation. To elucidate the mechanism responsible for these changes, we performed western blot analysis, cell cycle assay, and senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining. To evaluate the clinical significance of CLU, immunohistochemistry was performed, and CLU expression was analyzed in specimens resected from PDAC patients not treated with preoperative chemotherapy. RESULTS Knockdown of CLU significantly decreased cell proliferation and did not induce apoptosis, but did induce cellular senescence by increasing the percentage of G1-phase and SA-β-gal staining-positive cells. A marker of DNA damage such as γH2AX and factors related to cellular senescence, such as p21 and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, were upregulated by knockdown of CLU. CLU expression in resected PDAC specimens was located in the cytoplasm of tumor cells and revealed significantly better recurrence-free survival and overall survival in the CLU-low group than in the CLU-high group. CONCLUSIONS We identified that CLU inhibition leads to cellular senescence in PDAC. Our findings suggest that CLU is a novel therapeutic target that contributes to the prognosis of PDAC by inducing cellular senescence.
