Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of shear stress on surgery-related sacral pressure injury (PI) after laparoscopic colorectal surgery performed in the lithotomy position. We included 37 patients who underwent this procedure between November 2021 and October 2022. The primary outcome was average horizontal shear stress caused by the rotation of the operating table during the operation, and the secondary outcome was interface pressure over time. Sensors were used to measure shear stress and interface pressure in the sacral region. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of PI. PI had an incidence of 32.4%, and the primary outcome, average horizontal shear stress, was significantly higher in the PI group than in the no-PI group. The interface pressure increased over time in both groups. At 120 min, the interface pressure was two times higher in the PI group than in the no-PI group (PI group, 221.5 mmHg; no-PI group, 86.0 mmHg; p < 0.01). This study suggested that shear stress resulting from rotation of the operating table in the sacral region by laparoscopic colorectal surgery performed in the lithotomy position is the cause of PI. These results should contribute to the prevention of PI.

Abstract
The Japan Society of Clinical Oncology Clinical Practice Guidelines 2022 for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) have been published in accordance with the Minds Manual for Guideline Development 2014 and 2017. A specialized team independent of the working group for the revision performed a systematic review. Since GIST is a rare type of tumor, clinical evidence is not sufficient to answer several clinical and background questions. Thus, in these guidelines, we considered that consensus among the experts who manage GIST, the balance between benefits and harms, patients' wishes, medical economic perspective, etc. are important considerations in addition to the evidence. Although guidelines for the treatment of GIST have also been published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), there are some differences between the treatments proposed in those guidelines and the treatments in the present guidelines because of the differences in health insurance systems among countries.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare changes in liver enzyme levels on postoperative day 1 between patients with and without silicone disc (SD) use during liver retraction in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer and laparoscopic gastric mobilization for esophageal cancer. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled phase II trial was conducted between June 30, 2020, and November 30, 2022, to investigate the benefits of using an SD with a Nathanson liver retractor (NLR) compared with those using an NLR in laparoscopic gastrectomy and gastric mobilization. The primary endpoint was the change in transaminase level on postoperative day 1. RESULTS A total of 86 patients received randomized assignments and were included in the analysis, with 44 assigned to the SD (-) group and 42 to the SD (+) group. On postoperative day 1, the SD (+) group showed a significantly lower increase in the aspartate aminotransferase levels than the SD (-) group (SD [+], 94.4% vs. SD [-], 179.8%; p = 0.012). Similarly, the SD (+) group showed a significantly lower increase in alanine aminotransferase levels than the SD (-) group (SD [+], 71.6% vs. SD [-], 201.5%; p = 0.014). CONCLUSION In laparoscopic gastrectomy, the use of an SD combined with an NLR appears to mitigate postoperative liver dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Median arcuate ligament compression syndrome (MALS) causes upper abdominal pain and at times hemodynamic abnormalities in the pancreaticoduodenal region. Herein, we present a case of a 70 year-old man, initially diagnosed with splenic infarction and was successfully treated laparoscopically. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old man with abdominal pain admitted to our hospital. Abdominal-enhanced computed tomography revealed a poorly contrasted area in the spleen and stenosis at the root of the celiac artery. Arterial dilatation was observed around the pancreaticoduodenal arcade, however, no obvious aneurysm formation or arterial dissection was observed. Abdominal-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging indicated the disappearance of the flow void at the root of the celiac artery. The patient had no history of atrial fibrillation and was diagnosed with splenic infarction due to median arcuate ligament compression syndrome. We performed a laparoscopic median arcuate ligament section with five ports. Intraoperative ultrasonography showed a retrograde blood flow in the common hepatic artery and the celiac artery. After releasing the compression, the antegrade blood flow from the celiac artery to the splenic artery, and the common hepatic artery were visualized using intraoperative ultrasonography. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and he was discharged on postoperative day 9. Postoperative computed tomography a month after surgery revealed no residual stenosis of the celiac artery or dilation of the pancreaticoduodenal arcade. Furthermore, the poorly contrasted area of the spleen improved. CONCLUSIONS Reports indicate that hemodynamic changes in the abdominal visceral arteries due to median arcuate ligament compression are related to the formation of pancreaticoduodenal aneurysms. In this case, median arcuate ligament compression syndrome caused splenic infarction by reducing blood flow to the splenic artery.

Abstract
Objectives Chronic progressive neuro-Behcet's disease (CPNB) is characterized by progressive deterioration leading to disability. Methotrexate (MTX) has been shown to have beneficial effects on CPNB. However, while infliximab has been found to be effective for patients with inadequate responses to MTX, the appropriate timing for the introduction of infliximab remains unclear. We explored the effects of intervals before the introduction of infliximab on the functional outcome. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for patients with CPNB who received infliximab and were followed up until October 2015. Functional disability was rated by the Steinbrocker functional classification as used in rheumatoid arthritis. Correlations between the outcomes and intervals before the introduction of infliximab were then analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation test. Patients Eleven patients with CPNB [8 men, 3 women, age 35.2±9.3 years old (mean±standard deviation)] who met the international classification criteria for Behcet's disease were included. Results All 11 patients had received MTX prior to infliximab. The intervals from the onset to the introduction of infliximab and the follow-up periods were 26.6±35.1 months and 65.2±43.6 months [mean±standard deviation], respectively. Among the 11 patients, 2 still showed progression after the introduction of infliximab. The functional disability grades after infliximab treatment were significantly correlated with the intervals from the onset of CPNB to the introduction of infliximab (r=0.6177, p=0.0476). Conclusion The results indicate that the delayed introduction of infliximab leads to irreversible functional disability in CPNB. Thus, it is recommended that infliximab be administered as soon as possible for CPNB patients with inadequate responses to MTX.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There remains a lack of evidence regarding the optimal abdominal approach, including laparoscopy, hand-assisted, and open laparotomy for minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy. We aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative complications, particularly pulmonary complications, between laparoscopy and open laparotomy for minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy using nationwide Japanese databases. METHODS Data from patients in the National Clinical Database (NCD) who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were analyzed. The incidence of pulmonary complications was compared between abdominal laparoscopy and laparotomy after matching the propensity scores (PS) from preoperative factors to account for confounding bias. Laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LAS) was also compared to hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS). RESULTS Of the 24,790 patients who underwent esophagectomy between 2018 and 2021, data from 12,633 underwent thoracoscopic procedure. The proportion of patients who experienced pulmonary complications did not significantly differ between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group after matching (664/3195 patients, 20.8% versus 702/3195 patients, 22.0%; P = 0.25). No difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications was observed among patients treated using the laparoscopic approach (508/2439 patients, 20.8% in the LAS group versus 498/2439 patients, 20.4% in the HALS group; P = 0.72). CONCLUSIONS We observed no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications between laparoscopy and laparotomy for thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Short-term outcomes were similar between the laparoscopic-assisted approach and the hand-assisted approach. This study provides valuable insights into the optimal abdominal approach for thoracoscopic esophagectomy using data from a nationwide database that reflect real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral feeding (EF) is recommended to enhance nutritional status after esophagectomy; however, diarrhea is a common complication of EF. We investigated the clinical and prognostic impact of diarrhea during EF after esophagectomy. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two patients who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy were enrolled. The King's stool chart was used for stool characterization. The short- and long-term outcomes were compared between a non-diarrhea (Group N) and diarrhea group (Group D). RESULTS A higher dysphagia score (≥ 1) was observed more frequently in Group D than in Group N (45.7% vs. 19.8%, p = 0.002). Deterioration of serum total protein, serum albumin, serum cholinesterase, and the prognostic nutritional index after esophagectomy was greater in Group D than in Group N (p = 0.003, 0.004, 0.014, and 0.001, respectively). Patients in Group D had significantly worse overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) than those in Group N (median survival time (MST): OS, 21.9 vs. 30.6 months, p = 0.001; RFS, 12.4 vs. 27.7 months, p < 0.001). In stratified analysis due to age, although there was no difference in OS with or without diarrhea in young patients (MST: 24.1 months in a diarrhea group vs. 33.6 months in a non-diarrhea group, p = 0.218), patients in a diarrhea group had significantly worse OS than those in a non-diarrhea group in elderly patients (MST: 17.8 months vs. 27.9 months, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Diarrhea during EF can put elderly patients at risk of postoperative malnutrition and a poor prognosis after esophagectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop clinical guidelines for the management of vascular Behçet's disease (BD) by the Behçet's Disease Research Committee of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of the Japanese Government. METHODS A task force proposed clinical questions (CQs) concerning vascular BD based on a literature search. After screening, draft recommendations were developed for each CQ and brushed up in three blinded Delphi rounds, leading to the final recommendations. RESULTS This study provides recommendations for 17 CQs concerning diagnosis and differential diagnoses, assessment of disease activity, and treatment. The guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatments, for both arterial and venous involvement with active inflammation. Anticoagulation is also recommended for deep vein thrombosis except in high-risk patients. Surgical and endovascular therapies can be optional, particularly in patients with urgent arterial lesions undergoing immunosuppression. In addition, two sets of algorithms for diagnosis and treatment are shown for arterial and venous involvement. CONCLUSIONS These recommendations are expected to serve as useful tools in the daily clinical practice of BD.

Abstract
Tenascin C (TNC) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is highly expressed in cancer stroma and is associated with tumor progression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD). In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential involvement of TNC in the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) among PAAD patients. Transcriptomic profiles were obtained from public databases and analyzed to compare TNC mRNA levels between tumor and normal tissues. Bioinformatic programs were used to predict paracrine communications between cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and the Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) score was calculated to predict response to ICI treatment in PAAD patients. An independent immunotherapeutic cohort was used to validate the clinical impact of the signatures. Results showed that TNC mRNA levels were significantly upregulated in tumors compared to normal tissues in PAAD, and patients with high TNC expression had significantly shorter overall survival than those with low TNC expression (P = 0.0125). TNC was predominantly expressed in CAFs of PAAD patients and was found to potentially enhance the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells via integrin receptors, contributing to resistance to ICI treatment. Patients with high TNC expression and high ITGαV or ITGB3 expression were associated with poor response to ICI therapy. In conclusion, these findings suggest that TNC-high CAFs play a crucial role in tumor progression and resistance to ICI therapy in PAAD patients, and targeting TNC and its interactions with cancer cells may provide a potential strategy for improving the efficacy of ICI therapy in PAAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The usefulness of static monitoring using central venous pressure has been reported for anesthetic management in hepatectomy. It is unclear whether intra-hepatectomy dynamic monitoring can predict the postoperative course. We aimed to investigate the association between intraoperative dynamic monitoring and post-hepatectomy complications. Furthermore, we propose a novel anesthetic management strategy to reduce postoperative complication. METHODS From 2018 to 2021, 93 patients underwent hepatectomy at our hospital. Fifty-three patients who underwent dynamic monitoring during hepatectomy were enrolled. Flo Trac system was used for dynamic monitoring. The baseline central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) was defined as the average ScvO2 for 30 min after anesthesia induction. ScvO2 fluctuation (ΔScvO2) was defined as the difference between the baseline and minimum ScvO2. Postoperative complications were evaluated using the comprehensive complication index (CCI). RESULTS Patients with ΔScvO2 ≥ 10% had significantly higher CCI scores (0 vs. 20.9: p = 0.043). In univariate analysis, patients with higher CCI scores demonstrated significantly higher preoperative C-reactive protein-to-lymphocyte ratio (7.51 vs. 24.49: p = 0.039), intraoperative bleeding (105 vs. 581 ml: p = 0.008), number of patients with major hepatectomy (4/45 vs. 3/8: p = 0.028), and number of patients with ΔScvO2 ≥ 10% (11/45 vs. 6/8; p = 0.010). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that ΔScvO2 ≥ 10% (odds ratio: 9.53, p = 0.016) was the only independent predictor of elevated CCI. CONCLUSIONS Central venous oxygen saturation fluctuation during hepatectomy is a predictor of postoperative complications. Anesthetic management based on intraoperative dynamic monitoring and minimizing the change in ScvO2 is a potential strategy for decreasing the risk of post-hepatectomy complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudoaneurysm (PA) rupture after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a life-threatening complication. Most PA cases originate from postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPFs). Although several risk factors for POPF have been identified, specific risk factors for PA formation remain unclear. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed PD cases with soft pancreas and proposed a novel strategy for early detection of PA formation. METHODS Overall, 120 patients underwent PD between 2010 and 2020 at our institution; of these, 65 patients with soft pancreas were enrolled. We evaluated the clinicopathological factors influencing PA formation and developed a risk score to predict PA formation. RESULTS In total, 11 of the 65 patients developed PAs (PA formation group: PAG), and 8 of these 11 PAs ruptured. The median time to PA formation was 15 days, with a minimum of 5 days. The PAG was significantly older than the non-PA formation group, were predominantly men, and had comorbid diabetes mellitus. Pre- and intra-operative findings were similar between the two groups. Importantly, no significant differences were found in postoperative drain amylase levels and total drain amylase content. Cholinesterase and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on postoperative day (POD) 3 were significantly different between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that cholinesterase ≤ 112 U/L and CRP ≥ 16.0 mg/dl on POD 3 were independent predictors of PA formation. CONCLUSIONS Decreased cholinesterase and elevated CRP on POD 3 (Cho-C score) are useful predictors of PA formation in cases with soft pancreas. In such cases, periodic computed tomography evaluations and strict drain management are necessary to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical effectiveness of tumor markers for estimating prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. We assessed the clinical impact of changes in perioperative serum p53 antibodies (s-p53-Abs) titers in ESCC. METHODS From January 2011 to March 2021, 249 patients were enrolled in this study. Titers of s-p53-Abs were measured before the initial treatment and 3 months after esophagectomy. Patients were divided into a s-p53-Abs decreased or unchanged group (Group D, n = 217) and an increased group (Group I, n = 32). Short- and long-term outcomes were compared between the groups. RESULTS There was no correlation between the changes in squamous cell carcinoma antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen titers and recurrence site, number of recurrent lesions, and prognosis. However, the recurrence rate was significantly higher in Group I than in Group D (53.1% vs. 28.6%, p = 0.008), especially for distant organ recurrence (37.5% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.019). Furthermore, the rate of polyrecurrence was higher in Group I than in Group D (34.4% vs. 14.3%, p = 0.009). Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly worse in Group I than in Group D (median survival time, 21.2 months vs. 36.7 months, p = 0.015). Multivariate analysis revealed that lymphatic vessel infiltration (hazard ratio [HR], 1.721; 95% CI 1.069-2.772; p = 0.026), blood vessel infiltration (HR, 2.348; 95% CI 1.385-3.982; p = 0.002), advanced pathological stage (≥ III) (HR, 3.937; 95% CI 2.295-6.754; p < 0.001), and increased s-p53-Abs titers (HR, 2.635; 95% CI 1.488-4.667; p = 0.001) were independent predictors of poor RFS. CONCLUSIONS Elevation of s-p53-Abs titers after esophagectomy can predict polyrecurrence in distant organs and poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the rates of genetic counseling and genetic testing as well as the diagnosis rate of Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated colorectal cancer before and after multistep approach with multidisciplinary team in Japanese. METHODS In September 2016, we started universal screening for LS by mismatch repair protein immunohistochemistry and prospectively collected the records. Following patient interviews, we started multistep approach with multidisciplinary team (MA) in January 2020. MA consists of six surgeons, one genetic counselor, one medical geneticist, and six pathologists. MA is set up to compensate for patients' lack of knowledge about genetic diseases and make case selection for elderly colorectal cancer patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR). MA is designed as a system that could be performed by a small number of medical genetic specialists. A total of 522 patients were included during the study duration, 323 and 199 patients in the pre-MA (P-MA) and MA groups, respectively. RESULTS The frequency of dMMR in all patients was 10.0%. The patient interview results indicated a significant lack of patient education regarding genetic diseases. The rates of genetic counseling and genetic testing was significantly higher in MA group than in P-MA group (genetic counseling: MA 34.6% vs. P-MA 7.7%, p = 0.04; genetic testing: MA 30.8% vs. P-MA 3.8%, p = 0.02). Moreover, the diagnosis rate of LS-associated colorectal cancer was significantly higher in MA group (2.5%) than in P-MA group (0.3%) (P = 0.03). In addition, MA could be performed without problems despite the small number of medical and human genetics specialists. CONCLUSIONS MA has achieved appropriate pickup of suspected hereditary colorectal cancer patients and complemented the lack of knowledge about genetic diseases. The introduction of MA increased LS-associated colorectal cancer after universal screening. MA is an appropriate LS screening protocol for Japanese patients who lag behind in medical and human genetics education.

Abstract
Thoracic esophagectomy is a particularly invasive and complicated surgical procedure, with a reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, jejunum, or colon. The posterior mediastinal, retrosternal, and subcutaneous routes are the three possible esophageal reconstruction routes. Each route has advantages and disadvantages, and the optimal reconstruction route after esophagectomy remains controversial. Additionally, the best anastomotic techniques after esophagectomy in terms of location (Ivor Lewis or McKeown) and suturing (manual or mechanical) are debatable. Our meta-analysis investigating postoperative complications after esophagectomy between the posterior mediastinal and retrosternal routes revealed that the posterior mediastinal route was associated with a significantly lower anastomotic leakage rate than the retrosternal route (odds ratio = 0.78, 95% confidence interval: 0.70-0.87, p < 0.0001). Conversely, pulmonary complications (odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval: 0.58-1.11, p = 0.19) and mortality between the posterior mediastinal and retrosternal routes (odds ratio = 0.79, 95% confidence interval: 0.56-1.12, p = 0.19) were not significantly different. However, the incidence of pneumonia may be lower when using the retrosternal route rather than the posterior mediastinal route for performing minimally invasive esophagectomy. The McKeown procedure is oncologically necessary for tumors located above the carina to dissect upper mediastinal and cervical lymph nodes; however, the Ivor Lewis procedure offers perioperative and oncological safety for tumors located under the carina. An individualized treatment strategy for selecting the optimal reconstruction procedure can be proposed in future studies based on oncological and patient risk factors considering mid- to long-term quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to the lack of definite diagnostic modalities, it is challenging to distinguish malignant cases of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), which often causes biliary tract obstruction, from benign ones. Here, we investigated a novel lipid biomarker of CCA in bile-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) and developed a simple detection method for clinical application. METHODS Bile samples from seven patients with malignant diseases (hilar CCA = 4, distal CCA = 3) and eight patients with benign diseases (gallstones = 6, primary sclerosing cholangitis = 1, autoimmune pancreatitis = 1) were collected through a nasal biliary drainage tube. sEVs were isolated via serial ultracentrifugation and characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and immunoblotting (with CD9, CD63, CD81, and TSG101). Comprehensive lipidomic analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Using a measurement kit, we further confirmed whether lipid concentrations could be used as a potential CCA marker. RESULTS Lipidomic analysis of bile sEVs in the two groups identified 209 significantly increased lipid species in the malignant group. When focusing on lipid class, phosphatidylcholine (PC) level was 4.98-fold higher in the malignant group than in the benign group (P = 0.037). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed a sensitivity of 71.4%, a specificity of 100%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.857 (95% confidence interval [CI]:0.643-1.000). Using a PC assay kit, the ROC curve showed a cutoff value of 16.1 μg/mL, a sensitivity of 71.4%, a specificity of 100%, and an AUC of 0.839 (95% CI: 0.620-1.000). CONCLUSION PC level in sEVs from human bile is a potential diagnostic marker for CCA and can be assessed by a commercially available assay kit.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the risk factors and long-term prognosis of metachronous rectal cancer in the remnant rectum of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-five patients (49 families) who underwent prophylactic surgery, including bowel resection, for FAP between January 1976 and August 2022 at Hamamatsu University Hospital were included and divided into two groups based on the presence of metachronous rectal cancer. Risk factors for metachronous rectal cancer development were analysed in cases treated with total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) and stapled total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) (IRA, n=22; stapled IPAA n=20; total, n=42). RESULTS The median surveillance period was 169 months. Twelve patients developed metachronous rectal cancer (IRA, n=5; stapled IPAA, n=7), of which six with advanced cancer died. Patients who temporarily dropped out of surveillance were significantly more likely to have metachronous rectal cancer (metachronous vs. non-metachronous rectal cancer: 33.3% vs. 1.9%, p<0.01). The mean duration of surveillance suspension was 87.8 months. Cox regression analysis revealed that temporary surveillance drop-out independently affected the risk (p=0.04). The overall survival associated with metachronous rectal cancer was 83.3% at 1 year and 41.7% at 5 years. Overall survival was significantly worse in advanced cancer than in early cancer cases (p<0.01). CONCLUSION Temporary drop-out from surveillance was a risk factor for metachronous rectal cancer development, and advanced cancer had a poor prognosis. Continuous surveillance of patients with FAP, without temporary drop-out, is strongly recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE Well-leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) is a potentially life-threatening postoperative complication related to the Lloyd-Davies surgical position, which can place increased external pressure on the calf region. We conducted this study to analyze external pressure changes, by applying a leg holder system to the left calf region of patients placed in the Lloyd-Davies position during laparoscopic surgery. METHODS The study participants were 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in the Lloyd-Davies position. We assessed the maximum external pressure (MEP) on the left calf region using a pressure-distribution measurement system. Intraoperative measurements were taken continuously, and the MEP was evaluated with the patient horizontal and every 30 min during surgery in the head and right-down tilt position. RESULTS The intraoperative MEP increased gradually when the patient was in the head and right-down tilt position and decreased when the patient was returned to the horizontal position. The MEP was higher in patients aged < 60 years, those who were obese, and those with a thick calf circumference. Both body mass index (BMI) and the maximum left calf circumference (MLCC) were found to correlate with the MEP. CONCLUSIONS In addition to a high BMI, which is a well-known risk factor for WLCS, a high MLCC should be considered another risk factor, especially for patients under 60 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two prominent patient positions during thoracoscopic esophagectomy are the left lateral decubitus position (LP) and the prone position (PP). However, whether the patient position during thoracoscopic esophagectomy influences short-term outcomes, especially postoperative pneumonia, remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the impact of patient position on the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia. METHODS We analyzed 9850 patients who underwent oncologic thoracoscopic esophagectomies between 2016 and 2019 from the National Clinical Database. We compared the short-term outcomes between the LP and PP groups, and the primary outcome measure was the incidence of postoperative pneumonia. RESULTS This study included 2637 (26.8%) and 7213 (73.2%) patients in the LP and the PP groups, respectively. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were well-balanced. Compared with the LP group, the PP group had a longer operative time and less blood loss. There were no significant differences in the incidences of postoperative pneumonia, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, anastomotic leakage, severe complications, and reoperation between the groups. Meanwhile, prolonged ventilation and surgery-related mortality occurred more frequently in the LP than in the PP group (P < 0.001 and 0.046, respectively). After multivariable adjustment, the patient position did not significantly influence the incidence of postoperative pneumonia (odds ratio 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.80-1.04). CONCLUSIONS Although prolonged ventilation and surgery-related mortality occurred more frequently in the LP group than in the PP group, the patient position did not significantly influence the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia.

Abstract
Background Staphylococcus hominis (S. hominis) is an opportunistic pathogen that is often highly resistant to antibiotics and is difficult to treat. In patients diagnosed with an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing tumor that compromises the immune system due to hypercortisolemia, cancer treatment and infection control should be considered simultaneously. This report presents a case of refractory postoperative S. hominis bacteremia requiring the prolonged administration of several antibiotics in a patient with an ACTH-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN). Case presentation A 35-year-old man visited a neighboring hospital for a thorough examination after experiencing weight gain and lower limb weakness for several months. Enhanced computed tomography revealed a pancreatic tail tumor and bilateral adrenal enlargement. Elevated plasma ACTH and serum cortisol were noted. Biopsy under endoscopic ultrasonography revealed the tumor as an ACTH-producing pNEN. The patient was transferred to our hospital for further treatment. Pneumocystis pneumonia was noted and treated with sulfamethoxazole and adjunctive glucocorticoids. Hypercortisolism was controlled with metyrapone and trilostane. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and ethoxybenzyl magnetic resonance imaging detected other lesions in the pancreatic head. A total pancreatectomy was performed given that the lesions were found in both the pancreatic head and tail. Plasma ACTH and serum cortisol levels decreased immediately after the resection. Pathological examination revealed that the pancreatic tail tumor was NEN G2 and T3N1aM0 Stage IIB and the pancreatic head lesions were SSTR-positive hyperplasia of the islet of Langerhans cells. On postoperative day 11, catheter-associated bacteremia occurred. Initially, meropenem hydrate and vancomycin hydrochloride were administered empirically. S. hominis was identified and appeared sensitive to these antibiotics according to susceptibility testing. However, S. hominis was repeatedly positive in blood cultures for more than one month, despite treatment with several antibiotics. Eventually, with the combined use of three antibiotics (meropenem hydrate, vancomycin hydrochloride, and clindamycin phosphate) for more than 3 weeks, the S. hominis-associated bacteremia improved. He was discharged 79 days after surgery. Conclusions Our patient with an ACTH-producing pNEN was immunocompromised and needed meticulous attention for infectious complications even after successful tumor removal. Specifically, S. hominis bacteremia in such patients demands intensive treatments, such as with combinational antibiotics.

Abstract
Bleeding is a fatal complication after pancreatectomy. Although coil embolization is a widely accepted treatment option, ischemia of the remaining organs should be prevented. This study reports the successful treatment of intra-abdominal hemorrhage following distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) using balloon-assisted coil embolization (BACE). A 59-year-old man was diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The tumor involves the common hepatic artery, splenic artery, and celiac artery. After four cycles of treatment with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, the soft-density masses, surrounding the artery, shrunk. DP-CAR and R0 resections were performed. A minor postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred. Six months postoperatively, the computed tomography showed delayed asymptomatic bleeding from an anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA) pseudoaneurysm located near the gastroduodenal artery confluence. BACE was performed by placing a microballoon catheter in the region of confluence of the ASPDA and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDA) to prevent coil migration. After inserting the microballoon catheter, coil embolization was performed in the ASPDA. Hepatic blood flow was maintained from the PSPDA. BACE is a useful technique to preserve blood flow to the remnant organs when performing coil embolization for bleeding following a distal pancreatectomy, especially following a DP-CAR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To perform laparoscopic gastrectomy safely, we aimed to comprehensively re-evaluate perigastric vessel anatomies using a three-dimensional angiography reconstructed from enhanced multidetector-row computed tomography data. METHODS Perigastric vessel anatomy was preoperatively analyzed using a multidetector-row computed tomography-based three-dimensional angiography reconstructed in 127 patients undergoing gastric surgery. RESULTS Of the 67 left gastric veins that ran along the dorsal side of the arteries, 59 (88.1%) ran along the dorsal side of the common hepatic artery and flowed into the portal vein. In 18 cases, a common trunk of one to three left gastric arteries and the replaced left hepatic artery was observed. The left inferior phrenic artery ramified from the left gastric artery in 5.5% of the cases. The right gastric artery was classified into distal (73.2%), caudal (18.1%), and proximal (8.7%) types. The infra-pyloric artery was also classified into distal (64.6%), caudal (26.0%), and proximal (9.4%) types. The posterior gastric artery branched as a common trunk with the superior polar artery in the proximal (37.9%) and distal (18.4%) regions of the splenic artery. The left gastroepiploic artery ramified from the splenic (18.1%) and inferior terminal arteries (81.9%). No, one, and two gastric branches of the left gastroepiploic artery, which ramified between the roots of the left gastroepiploic artery and its omental branch, were found in 36.5%, 49.2%, and 14.3% of the cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative 3D angiography is useful for the precise evaluation of perigastric vessel anatomies, and may help us to perform laparoscopic gastrectomy and robotic surgery safely.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recent international statement on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension proposed the definition of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) and advocated further research regarding its clinical characteristic, natural history, and therapeutic strategy. Exercise pulmonary hypertension (Ex-PH) has been considered a mild degree of pulmonary hypertension (PH) among patients with normal pulmonary hemodynamics at rest. However, the clinical significance of Ex-PH in CTEPD remains unknown.
Purpose
In the patients with CTEPD, we aimed to verify 1) the prevalence and clinical profiles of Ex-PH, 2) effect of BPA on pulmonary vascular response after exercise in Ex-PH, 3) long-term clinical outcomes of conservative management in non-Ex-PH.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients with CTEPD (median age 65 years, 38% male), who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test with right heart catheterization (CPET-RHC). The definitions of CTEPD are the following 1) pulmonary artery occlusion due to organic thrombus confirmed by imaging studies after ≥3 months of anticoagulation, 2) mPAP<25 mmHg and PAWP≤15 mmHg at rest. PQslope was plotted using multipoint plots. Ex-PH was defined by PQ slope>3.0, and the patients were divided into Ex-PH and non-Ex PH groups. Clinical profiles and long-term outcomes were compared between two groups. The patients in Ex-PH groupunderwent CPET-RHC 6–12 months after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). In Non-Ex-PH group, serial measurements of echocardiography were performed.
Results
Overall, 5 and 21 patients were categorized as CTEPD with PH (mPAP 21–24mmHg) and without PH (mPAP≤20mmHg), and 14 and 12 were categorized Ex-PH and non-Ex-PH groups, respectively. Although all 5 patients with CTEPD with PH were classified as Ex-PH group (Figure 1), there was no significant difference in baseline hemodynamics at rest between Ex-PH and non-Ex-PH groups (mPAP: 19.5 [18.4–20.6] vs. 17.7 [16.6–18.9] mmHg, PVR: 2.2 [1.7–2.7] vs. 2.3 [1.9–2.8] wood units, P>0.05, respectively). PQ slope was significantly higher in Ex-PH group (4.6 [3.2–6.0] vs. 1.31 [0.2–2.8], p=0.002). There were no differences in respiratory function test, blood gas analysis, and 6-minute walk distance between two groups. There were no major adverse events such as all-cause mortality and hospitalization for PH in overall cohort. Among Ex-PH group, BPA decreased PQslope (4.8 [3.6–6.4] to 2.3 [1.9–3.0], p<0.05). Among no-Ex-PH group, there was no significant change in tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (28 [17–33] to 27 [21–36] mmHg, p>0.05) over the 997 [651–1451] days.
Conclusion
Ex-PH was common in patients with CTEPD, and there were no clinical profiles differentiating Ex-PH from non-Ex-PH, except parameters of CPET-RHC. BPA improved an abnormal pulmonary vascular response to exercise in Ex-PH. The conservative management in non-Ex-PH was feasible. Randomized clinical trials will be needed to further investigate this treatment strategy.

Abstract
Label-free image identification of circulating rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells within peripheral blood nucleated cells (PBNCs), the vast majority of which are white blood cells (WBCs), remains challenging. We previously described developing label-free image cytometry for classifying live cells using computer vision technology for pattern recognition, based on the subcellular structure of the quantitative phase microscopy images. We applied our image recognition methods to cells flowing in a flow cytometer microfluidic channel, and differentiated WBCs from cancer cell lines (area under receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.957). We then applied this method to healthy volunteers' and advanced cancer patients' blood samples and found that the non-WBC fraction rates (NWBC-FRs), defined as the percentage of cells classified as non-WBCs of the total PBNCs, were significantly higher in cancer patients than in healthy volunteers. Furthermore, we monitored NWBC-FRs over the therapeutic courses in cancer patients, which revealed the potential ability in monitoring the clinical status during therapy. Our image recognition system has the potential to provide a morphological diagnostic tool for circulating rare cells as non-WBC fractions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Resistance to chemotherapy is a major obstacle for patients with unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the factors that induce chemoresistance have not been elucidated. Lipid composition influences neoplastic behaviour. Therefore, this study examined whether lipid composition affects sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents in CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a lipidomic analysis of a CRC xenograft-derived spheroid model to identify potential relationships between the lipid profile and chemoresistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Genetic and pharmacological modulation of lipid synthesis were also used in the HCT-116 and DLD-1 CRC cell lines to further characterize resistance to 5-FU. RESULTS Our lipidomic profiling revealed that phospholipids with saturated fatty acids (SFAs) were more abundant in 5-FU-resistant spheroids. The importance of phospholipids containing SFA in chemoresistance was confirmed by showing that in HCT-116 and DLD-1 cells, genetic or pharmacological inactivation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, a key enzyme that converts SFAs to monounsaturated fatty acids, increased the proportion of SFAs in membranous phospholipids and reduced cell membrane fluidity, and this ultimately resulted in resistance to 5-FU. CONCLUSION These data suggest that the saturated to monounsaturated fatty acid ratio in cellular membranous phospholipids affects sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels after esophagectomy and infectious complications and long-term prognosis. A total of 105 patients who underwent esophagectomy between 2012 and 2019 were stratified into two groups: PCT-High group of ≥1 ng/mL and PCT-Low group of <1 ng/mL. The clinical outcomes and prognostic factors were compared between the two groups 2 postoperative days (POD), 4 POD, and 7 POD after esophagectomy. As the postoperative days passed, the association between PCT and infectious complications became stronger, and the positive predictive value was 100% at 7 POD. At 2 POD, there was no significant association between PCT elevation and infectious complications. Patients in the PCT-Low group had significantly worse overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) than those in the PCT-High group at 2 POD (p = 0.026 and p = 0.011, respectively). In multivariate analysis, advanced pathological stage (hazard ratio (HR), 5.348; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.299−12.500; p < 0.001) and PCT-Low group at 2 POD (HR, 3.673; 95% CI, 1.116−12.092; p = 0.032) were also independent predictors of worse OS. PCT in the early postoperative period after esophagectomy could be a good predictor of prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Although the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric/gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) has been proven, prediction of their efficacy remains unknown. This study aimed to develop optimal serum nutritional indicators or a combination of blood cell components to predict the efficacy of ICI before beginning UGI cancer treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of 61 UGI cancers (31 ESCC and 30 GEA) patients treated with nivolumab or pembrolizumab. We investigated the impact of serum albumin level, total lymphocyte count (TLC), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) on the efficacy of ICIs and long-term survival. The median cutoff value was adopted separately in ESCC and GEA. RESULTS NLR-Low was significantly correlated with better overall survival (p=0.014), and PLR-Low was significantly correlated with improved disease control rate and better progression-free survival in UGI cancer patients. Both results indicate that a better prognosis is correlated to a greater number of lymphocytes. Multivariate analysis revealed that NLR-High [hazard ratio (HR)=2.865; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.030-7.937; p=0.044] was the only independent poor prognostic factor. CONCLUSION NLR-Low has the potential to predict the good efficacy of ICIs and survival outcomes in patients with UGI cancer. NLR could be useful in determining the optimal treatment strategies for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We previously reported, based on a multicenter randomized-control study, that the efficacy of intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid (IA-HA) was not inferior to that of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the molecular effects on the pathophysiology of knee OA remain unclear. C-terminal telopeptides of type II collagen (CTX-II) is reported to primarily originate from the interface between articular cartilage and subchondral bone, which is a site of potential remodeling in OA. We performed a predefined sub-analysis of the previous study to compare the changes of urinary CTX-II (uCTX-II) in response to IA-HA to those in response to NSAID for knee OA. DESIGN A total of 200 knee OA patients were registered from 20 hospitals and randomized to receive IA-HA (2,700 kDa HA, 5 times at 1-week intervals) or NSAID (loxoprofen sodium, 180 mg/day) for 5 weeks. The uCTX-II levels were measured before and after treatment. RESULTS The uCTX-II levels were significantly increased by IA-HA treatment (337.7 ± 193.8 to 370.7 ± 234.8 ng/μmol Cr) and were significantly reduced by NSAID treatment (423.2 ± 257.6 to 370.3 ± 250.9 ng/μmol Cr). The %changes of uCTX-II induced by IA-HA (11.6 ± 29.5%) and NSAID (-9.0 ± 26.7%) was significantly different (between-group difference: 20.6, 95% confidence intervals: 10.6 to 30.6). CONCLUSIONS While both IA-HA and NSAID improved symptoms of knee OA, uCTX-II levels were increased by IA-HA and reduced by NSAIDs treatment, suggesting these treatments may improve symptoms of knee OA through different modes of action.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the long-term clinical course of each manifestation of Behçet's disease (BD) and clarify factors involved in oral ulcer (OU) remission using clinical information of BD patients. METHODS We retrospectively studied 155 BD patients visiting our hospital (1989-2020). We defined remission criteria for each manifestation and examined long-term clinical changes. Classification and regression trees and multivariable analyses were performed to investigate OU prognostic factors; hazard ratios were used to assign scores to prognostic factors deemed significant (OU prognosis score: OuP score). Risk stratification was examined by dividing the OuP scores into four stages. RESULTS OUs appeared earliest, with the slowest decline in prevalence observed post-BD diagnosis. OU presence was the most common factor inhibiting complete remission. Young age at OU onset, never smoker, presence of genital ulcers, positive pathergy test, no usage of tumour necrosis factor inhibitors or of immunosuppressants, and long-term non-treatment or symptomatic treatment for OUs were poor OU prognostic factors. Based on multivariable analysis, the area under the curve of the OuP score to predict OU prognosis was 0.678. CONCLUSIONS Remission criteria for each symptom clarified that OU had the greatest impact on complete BD remission. Faster OU remission was associated with earlier OU therapeutic intervention other than symptomatic treatment.

Abstract
Background Various hemostatic devices have been utilized to reduce blood loss during hepatectomy. Nonetheless, a comparison between monopolar and bipolar coagulation, particularly their usefulness or inferiority, has been poorly documented. The aim of this study is to reveal the characteristics of these hemostatic devices. Methods A total of 264 patients who underwent open hepatectomy at our institution from January 2009 to December 2018 were included. Monopolar and bipolar hemostatic devices were used in 160 (monopolar group) and 104 (bipolar group) cases, respectively. Operative outcomes and thermal damage to the resected specimens were compared between these groups using propensity score matching according to background factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors for postoperative complications. Results After propensity score matching, 73 patients per group were enrolled. The monopolar group had significantly lower total operative time (239 vs. 275 min; P = 0.013) and intraoperative blood loss (487 vs. 790 mL; P < 0.001). However, the incidence rates of ascites (27.4% vs. 8.2%; P = 0.002) and grade ≥ 3 intra-abdominal infection (12.3% vs. 2.7%; P = 0.028) were significantly higher in the monopolar group. Thermal damage to the resected specimens was significantly longer in the monopolar group (4.6 vs. 1.2 mm; P < 0.001). Use of monopolar hemostatic device was an independent risk factor for ascites (odds ratio, 5.626, 95% confidence interval 1.881–16.827; P = 0.002) and severe intra-abdominal infection (odds ratio, 5.905, 95% confidence interval 1.096–31.825; P = 0.039). Conclusions Although monopolar devices have an excellent hemostatic ability, they might damage the remnant liver. The use of monopolar devices can be one of the factors that increase the frequency of complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical significance of circumferential resection margin (CRM) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. Optimal CRM for predicting the recurrence of pathological T3 ESCC was investigated. METHODS Seventy-three patients were retrospectively investigated in the development cohort. Patients were divided into CRM-negative and CRM-positive groups, and clinicopathological factors and survival outcomes were compared between the groups. The cutoff value was validated in another validation cohort (n = 99). RESULTS Receiver operating characteristic analysis in the development cohort showed the cutoff value of CRM was 600 μm. In the validation cohort, patients in the CRM-positive group showed a significantly higher rate of locoregional recurrence (p = 0.006) and worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p < 0.001) than those in the CRM-negative group. Multivariate analysis identified positive CRM as an independent predictive factor for poor RFS (hazard ratio, 2.695; 95% confidence interval, 1.492-4.867; p = 0.001). The predictive value of our criteria of positive CRM for RFS was higher than that of the Royal College of Pathologists (RCP) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) criteria. Stratified analysis in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy groups also revealed that the rate of locoregional recurrence was higher in the CRM-positive group than in the CRM-negative group both in the pathological N0 and N1-3 subgroups. CONCLUSIONS CRM of 600 μm can be the optimal cutoff value rather than the RCP and CAP criteria for predicting locoregional recurrence after esophagectomy. These results may support the impact of perioperative locoregional control of locally advanced ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The correlation between perioperative changes in nutritional status during esophagectomy and prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of changes in prognostic nutritional index levels during the perioperative period on esophageal cancer patient survivals. METHODS From January 2009 to May 2019, 158 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled. From the time-dependent ROC analysis, the cutoff values of preoperative and postoperative prognostic nutritional index levels were 46.9 and 40.9. Patients were divided into preoperative-high group (Group H) and preoperative-low group (Group L). Then, patients in Group L were divided into preoperative-low and postoperative-high group (Group L-H) and preoperative-low and postoperative-low group (Group L-L). Long-term outcomes and prognostic factors were evaluated. RESULTS Patients in Group L had significantly worse overall survival than those in Group H (p = 0.001). Patients in Group L-L had significantly worse overall survival than those in Group L-H (p = 0.023). However, there was no significant difference in overall survival between Groups H and L-H (p = 0.224). In multivariable analysis, advanced pathological stage (hazard ratio 10.947, 95% confidence interval 2.590-46.268, p = 0.001) and Group L-L (hazard ratio 2.171, 95% confidence interval 1.249-3.775, p = 0.006) were independent predictors of poor overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Patients in Group L-H had a good prognosis, similar to those in Group H. This result indicated that increasing the postoperative prognostic nutritional index level sufficiently using various intensive perioperative support methods could improve prognosis after esophagectomy in patients with poor preoperative nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophagectomy followed by gastric conduit reconstruction is a standard surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. However, there is no evidence of the superiority or inferiority of the posterior mediastinal (PM) versus the retrosternal (RS) reconstruction route with regard to short-term outcomes after esophagectomy. We aimed to elucidate whether the reconstruction route can affect the short-term outcomes after esophagectomy followed by gastric conduit reconstruction. METHODS We reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent esophagectomy between 2016 and 2018 from the Japanese National Clinical Database. This study included 9786 patients who underwent gastric conduit reconstruction through the PM or RS route with cervical anastomosis. RESULTS Of the 9786 patients analyzed, 3478 and 6308 underwent gastric conduit reconstruction thorough the PM and RS routes, respectively. The incidence of anastomotic leak and surgical site infection (SSI) was significantly lower in the PM group than in the RS group (11.7% vs 13.8%, P = .005 and 8.4% vs 14.9%, P < .001, respectively), while the incidence of pneumonia was higher in the PM group (13.7% vs 12.2%, P = .040). Generalized estimating equation logistic regression analysis revealed a higher risk of anastomotic leak and SSI (odds ratio [OR], 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-1.51; P < .001 and OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.78-2.38; P < .001, respectively) and a lower risk of pneumonia (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75-0.98; P = .028) in the RS group than in the PM group. CONCLUSION The findings of this study will help surgeons to design the reconstruction route following esophagectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer surgery requires maintenance and enhancement of perioperative nutritional status and physical function to prevent postoperative complications. Therefore, awareness of the importance of preoperative patient support is increasing. This study examined the usefulness of using a diary in combination with a wearable fitness tracking device (WFT) in patients undergoing surgery for esophageal cancer. METHODS Ninety-four patients who underwent esophagectomy between February 2019 and April 2021 were included. Physicians, nurses, dietitians, and physical therapists provided diary-based education for the patients. In addition, a WFT was used by some patients. The perioperative outcomes of patients who used both the diary and WFT (WFT group) and those who used the diary alone (non-WFT group) were compared. In addition, propensity score matching was performed to improve comparability between the two groups. RESULTS After the propensity score matching, the rate of postoperative pneumonia was significantly lower in the WFT group (0% vs. 22.6%, P = 0.005). The postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the WFT group (P = 0.012). Nutritional status indices, such as the prognostic nutritional index, also improved significantly in the WFT group at 1 month after surgery (P = 0.034). The rate of diary entries was significantly higher in the WFT group (72.3% vs. 28.3%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The use of a WFT reduced the incidence of postoperative pneumonia and improved postoperative nutritional status and rates of diary entries after esophagectomy, suggesting that its use may be useful for promoting recovery after esophagectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A gastrointestinal stromal tumor rupture entails a high risk of recurrence even after curative surgery. However, the definition of rupture is unclear, and the question of whether patients with a minor rupture should be treated with adjuvant imatinib remains controversial. METHODS The present, retrospective, multicentric study enrolled 57 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor with a minor/major tumor rupture, of whom 46 were finally found to be eligible for analysis. Tumor ruptures were subclassified by their degree, timing and cause. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of all types of recurrence as well as of peritoneal recurrence only. RESULTS The study cohort included minor (n = 24), intraoperative (n = 19) and iatrogenic (n = 20) ruptures besides the typical types (major, preoperative and spontaneous). All intraoperative ruptures were iatrogenic. In total, 27 patients (58.7%) had a recurrence in the peritoneum (n = 17) and/or the liver (n = 13) during a median follow-up period of 5.8 years, but no recurrence was observed in patients with tumor rupture as a single, high-risk factor. Multivariate analysis found the timing of tumor rupture to be an independent risk factor of poor recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio: 2.37; 95% confidence interval: 1.02-5.49; P = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative tumor rupture in patients with a ruptured gastrointestinal stromal tumor was associated with poor recurrence-free survival. Our results suggested that a distinction should be made between preoperative and intraoperative tumor ruptures when considering the indications for adjuvant imatinib therapy for gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients with tumor rupture as a single, high-risk factor of recurrence.

Abstract
Simple Summary For patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), a good prognosis is achieved by conventional standard gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy. However, postgastrectomy syndrome is often inevitable and results in decreased quality of life (QOL). To improve patients’ QOL, proximal gastrectomy instead of total gastrectomy and pylorus-preserving gastrectomy instead of distal gastrectomy have been widely accepted as function-preserving gastrectomies. Recently, personalized, minimized gastrectomy with sentinel node navigation surgery has been developed and is expected to be an ideal treatment option for patients with EGC. Herein, we review the indications, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes of function-preserving gastrectomy. Abstract Recently, minimally invasive (endoscopic or laparoscopic) treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) has been widely accepted. However, a standard gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy is generally performed in patients with EGC who have no indications for endoscopic resection, and postgastrectomy dysfunction is one of the problems of standard gastrectomy. Function-preserving gastrectomy, such as proximal gastrectomy and pylorus-preserving gastrectomy, can be considered when attempting to preserve the patient’s quality of life (QOL) postoperatively. In addition, sentinel node navigation surgery for EGC has been applied in clinical practice in several prospective studies on function-preserving personalized minimized gastrectomy. In the near future, the sentinel lymph node concept is expected to form the basis for establishing an ideal, personalized, minimally invasive function-preserving treatment for patients with EGC, which will improve their postoperative QOL without compromising their long-term survival. In this review article, we summarize the current status, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes of function-preserving gastrectomy for EGC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Approximately 30%-60% of Behçet's disease patients exhibit joint symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of such patients in Japan. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 151 Behçet's disease patients with joint symptoms who had been treated at seven cooperative medical institutions from 2007 to 2017. We investigated their clinical characteristics and treatments. RESULTS The most commonly affected joints were the knee, ankle, and proximal interphalangeal joints. Of the cases with pain and swelling, 18 of 293 joints (11 cases) displayed narrowing of the cleft or deformity by Xray analysis. Improvement in their arthritis was observed in 80% of the patients who received steroids as initial treatment; however, the rate of improvement was lower in patients who had received prednisolone (PSL) at <10 mg/day. The recurrence of joint symptoms was significantly less common in the colchicine group than in the PSL group. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that PSL is effective for remission induction for the treatment of joint symptoms of Behçet's disease, though it may not be effective at low doses. Additionally, colchicine is effective in preventing the recurrence of joint symptoms in Behçet's disease. Furthermore, joint damages like joint space narrowing or with any deformity can often be observed in Behçet's disease patients in Japan.

Abstract
Although spatiotemporal changes of oxygen in a microenvironment are known to affect the cellular dynamics of various eukaryotes, the details are not fully understood. Here, we describe the aerotaxis and aerokinesis of Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd), which has long been employed as a model organism for eukaryotic cells. We developed a microfluidic device capable of time-lapse observation of cultured cells while controlling oxygen concentrations in microchannels. Migratory behaviors of Dd were observed and quantitatively evaluated under an oxygen concentration gradient from 0% to 21% O2, as well as in various uniform oxygen conditions. In a hypoxic region within the oxygen concentration gradient, Dd migrated toward regions of higher oxygen concentration at increased velocity, which was independent of cell density. Observed under uniform oxygen concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 21%, the migration velocity of Dd increased significantly in hypoxic environments of 2% O2 or less. Thus, Dd shows aerotaxis, directed by the oxygen concentration gradient, and simultaneously shows aerokinesis, changing the migration velocity according to the oxygen concentration itself.

Abstract
Despite advances in the perioperative management of esophagectomy, it is still a highly invasive procedure for esophageal cancer and is associated with severe postoperative complications. The two major postoperative infectious complications after esophagectomy are pulmonary complications and anastomotic leakage. We previously reported that postoperative infectious complications after esophagectomy adversely affect long-term survival significantly in a single institution and meta-analysis. Additionally, we reviewed the mechanisms of proinflammatory cytokines, such as C-X-C motif ligand 8 (CXCL8) and its cognate receptor, C-X-C chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), in contributing to tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Moreover, we previously reported that introducing minimally invasive esophagectomy, including robot assistance, laparoscopic gastric mobilization, and multidisciplinary team management, significantly reduced postoperative infectious complications after esophagectomy. Further, this review also suggests future treatment strategies for esophageal cancer, considering the adverse effect of postoperative infectious complications after esophagectomy.

Abstract
In 2020, we reported the "BD-checklist 92" for patients with Behçet's disease (BD) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of this checklist. Questionnaires using the "BD-checklist 92" and the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) were sent to ten affiliated institutions. In total, 174 patients answered the questionnaire (response rate, 32.7%). Criterion validity was evaluated using the correlation coefficient between the number of problem categories extracted from the "BD-checklist 92" and the scores of the eight subscales and two components of the SF-36. Construct validity was assessed based on the number of problem categories extracted as an external criterion for the number of manifestations experienced and specific lesions. The comparison was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate reliability. The number of problem categories in the "Body functions and structures", "Activities and participation", and "Environmental factors" components correlated significantly with all dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire (P < 0.05 each). Construct validity showed that the number of manifestations experienced in all components (P < 0.001 each) and specific lesions in "Body functions and structures" and "All categories" (P = 0.002 and 0.050, respectively) contributed to an increased number of problems associated with BD. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the "BD-checklist 92" was 0.926. This study confirmed the validity and reliability of the "BD-checklist 92".

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM There is no study comparing open esophagectomy (OE), video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), and robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in a single institution. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 272 patients who underwent subtotal esophagectomy divided into three groups: OE (n=110), VATS (n=127), and RAMIE (n=35) groups. Moreover, short-term outcomes were compared. RESULTS Overall complications (CD≥II) were significantly less in the RAMIE than the OE and VATS groups. Recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (CD≥II) was significantly lower in the RAMIE than the OE group (p=0.026) and tended to be lower than that in the VATS group (p=0.059). The RAMIE group had significantly less atelectasis (CD≥I and II), pleural effusion (CD≥I and II), arrhythmia (CD≥II), and dysphagia (CD≥II), than both the OE and VATS groups. CONCLUSION RAMIE reduced overall postoperative complications after esophagectomy compared with both OE and VATS.

Abstract
AIM Preoperative inflammation-based Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is a useful tool for predicting long-term prognosis in cancer patients. However, its association with postoperative short-term outcomes remains unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between GPS and postoperative morbidity and mortality among patients undergoing surgery for various gastrointestinal malignancies. METHODS Using the Japanese National Clinical Database, we analyzed the records of 312 357 patients with gastrointestinal malignancy who underwent six typical elective surgeries, including esophagectomy, distal gastrectomy, total gastrectomy, right hemicolectomy, low anterior resection, and pancreaticoduodenectomy, between January 2015 and December 2018. We assigned GPS of 0, 1, or 2 to patients with no, one, or both decreased albumin and elevated C-reactive protein levels, respectively. We investigated the relationship of GPS with operative morbidity and mortality for each procedure with adjustments for patients' demographics, preoperative status, comorbidities, and cancer stages. RESULTS Crude operative morbidity was significantly higher for GPS 1 and 2 than GPS 0 patients in all procedures except pancreaticoduodenectomy. The postoperative length of hospital stay was significantly longer for GPS 1 and 2 patients in all procedures (P < .001). Operative mortality was also higher for GPS 1 and 2 patients in all procedures. The associations remained significant after adjustments for potential confounders of age, sex, physical status, tumor classification, use of preoperative therapy, and comorbidities. CONCLUSION This nationwide study provides solid evidence on the strong association between GPS and postoperative outcomes.
