Abstract
PURPOSE Gastric neoplasia is a common manifestation of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). This study aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics, endoscopic features including fundic gland polyposis (FGPsis), and treatment outcomes of gastric neoplasms (GNs) in patients with FAP. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 35 patients diagnosed with FAP, including nine patients from four pedigrees who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), were investigated regarding patient characteristics, GN morphology, and treatment outcomes. RESULTS Twenty-one patients (60.0%) had 38 GNs; 33 (86.8%) and 5 (13.2%) were histologically diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and adenoma, respectively. There were no specific patient characteristics related to GNs. Nodule-type GNs were more prevalent in patients with FGP than without (52.2% vs. 0.0%, P=0.002) in the upper body of the stomach. Conversely, depressed-type GNs were fewer in patients with FGPsis than in those without (13.0% vs. 73.3%, P<0.001). Slightly elevated-type GNs were observed in both groups (34.8% vs. 20.0%, P=0.538). Even within pedigrees, the background gastric mucosa and types of GNs varied. In total, 24 GNs were treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and eight with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). EMR was selected for GNs with FGPsis because of the technical difficulty of ESD, resulting in a lower en bloc resection rate (62.5% vs. 100%, P=0.014). CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates the necessity of routine EGD surveillance in patients diagnosed with FAP. Notably, the morphology and location of GNs differed between patients with and without FGPsis. Endoscopic treatment and outcomes require more attention in cases of FGPsis.

Abstract
Mesenteric hematoma is an uncommon condition caused by focal bleeding in the mesenteric vessels. Hematomas are related to trauma, pancreatitis, arteriopathy, and the use of antithrombotic agents. Although hematomas cause intestinal stenosis by compressing the adjacent small bowel, duodenal stenosis due to hematoma is rare. Therefore, the treatment indications for cases of hematoma with stenosis have not been established. We herein report a case with a large mesenteric hematoma that caused duodenal stenosis by compressing the third portion of the duodenum. Stenosis was successfully ameliorated after long-term use of a double elementary diet tube.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated tumor, with the cumulative lifetime risk in LS patients estimated to be 5.8-13%. Hence, surveillance for gastric cancer is important for LS patients, especially in those with a family history of gastric cancer or of Asian descent. We report a very rare case of a LS patient who showed gastric metastasis from jejunal adenocarcinoma curatively resected 8 years prior. A 79-year-old female was diagnosed with a synchronous gastric submucosal tumor (SMT) and right-sided colon cancer. She was referred to our hospital as she and her family had histories of LS-associated tumors. She underwent curative intent surgery for the tumors. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed the gastric SMT was an adenocarcinoma completely covered by non-neoplastic gastric mucosa. Immunohistochemical analyses showed the gastric SMT had the same expression pattern for CDX2, cytokeratins 7 and 20 as the jejunal adenocarcinoma. Thirty-four months after surgery the patient is alive without recurrence or any other LS-associated tumors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of gastric metastasis from small bowel adenocarcinoma in a LS patient. Awareness of this case may be important for gastric cancer surveillance in LS patients.

Abstract
Objective Esophageal diverticulum is rare, and the concomitance of esophageal motility disorders (EMDs) and the efficacy of novel endoscopic treatment have not been investigated in Japan. Methods An examination including high-resolution manometry (HRM) was performed for patients with both EMDs and epiphrenic diverticulum. EMD-related epiphrenic diverticulum and Zenker's diverticulum were treated using salvage peroral endoscopic myotomy (s-POEM) and endoscopic diverticulotomy, respectively. Results Six cases of epiphrenic diverticulum were diagnosed in this study. Among 125 patients with achalasia and spastic disorders, concomitant epiphrenic diverticulum was observed in 4 (3.2%). Of these, three showed a normal lower esophageal sphincter pressure on HRM, although gastroscopy and esophagography revealed typical findings of an impaired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. These four patients were successfully treated with s-POEM, and the Eckardt score improved from 6.3 to 0.25 at 32.5 (range: 13-56) months of follow-up, with equivalent treatment efficacy to that observed for achalasia and spastic disorders without epiphrenic diverticulum. In contrast, the two remaining cases of epiphrenic diverticulum had normal esophageal motility. Six cases of Zenker's diverticulum were diagnosed, and endoscopic diverticulotomy was successfully performed in all. The dysphagia score decreased from 2.8 to 0.17 at 14.8 (range: 2-36) months of follow-up. Overall, 12 endoscopic treatments were performed for esophageal diverticulum; no adverse events were observed. Conclusion In epiphrenic diverticulum patients, concomitant EMDs are not rare and should be carefully diagnosed. A normal lower esophageal sphincter pressure on HRM does not always mean a normal lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. S-POEM and endoscopic diverticulotomy are effective minimally invasive treatment options for EMD-related epiphrenic diverticulum and Zenker's diverticulum.

Abstract
We herein report a rare case of HCC metastases to the ovary and peritoneum in a 61-year-old female patient who has achieved 11-year survival with multidisciplinary therapy. The patient was diagnosed with HCC during balloon angioplasty performed for Budd-Chiari syndrome in 1994 and underwent partial hepatectomy twice. Five years after the second hepatectomy, allochronic recurrence of a single nodule detected in S8 was treated by radiofrequency ablation, followed by percutaneous ethanol injection therapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy. However, her α-fetoprotein level rose to 1862 ng/mL within one year and computed tomography revealed a large pelvic tumor suggesting HCC metastasis to the ovary. The subsequent laparotomy revealed one 11-cm left ovarian tumor, one small right ovarian nodule, and numerous peritoneal nodules. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and peritoneal resection of as many nodules as possible were performed. Combination therapy with intravenous 5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin and ramucirumab monotherapy effectively suppressed tumor progression with maintenance of hepatic functional reserve, and she has achieved long-term survival of 11 years, illustrating that multidisciplinary therapy with favorable hepatic functional reserve maintenance can contribute to long-term survival in HCC with extrahepatic spread.

Abstract
A 40-year-old man with slightly depressed (0-IIc) type gastric cancer of the pyloric anterior gastric area underwent pre-operative screening for tetralogy of Fallot and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and was tested for Helicobacter pylori antigens and antibodies. Both tests were negative. He did not have a history of eradication. Pathological diagnosis of ESD showed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The tumor was CD10-positive, MUC5AC-negative, and MUC6-confocal positive; it showed differentiation with gastrointestinal phenotype. Moreover, the tumor cells were lysozyme-positive, resembling Paneth cells. Mucosal glands exhibited intestinal metaplasia on the anal side of the tumor lesion. On the oral side of the tumor, metaplasia was non-existent, with normal pyloric glands present in the mucosal layer. The patient was not infected with H. pylori ; however, intestinal metaplasia existed around the early gastric cancer. This suggested that the intestinal metaplasia occurred due to bile reflux, and the gastric neoplasia arose with the metaplasia without an H. pylori infection. This case may potentially help explain gastric cancer development in the absence of H. pylori infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Patients with achalasia have a high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which may be associated with alterations in oral and esophageal microbiota caused by food stasis. This study compared the oral and esophageal microbiota of patients with achalasia before and after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). It also compared patients with achalasia to those with ESCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study prospectively examined 6 patients with achalasia and 14 with superficial ESCC. Oral samples obtained from the buccal mucosa using a swab and esophageal samples obtained from the mid-esophagus using a brush via endoscopy were analyzed by 16S rRNA metagenome sequencing. Additionally, endoscopic and histological findings of patients with achalasia before and after POEM were prospectively compared. RESULTS In patients with achalasia, Streptococcus was most abundant in both the oral and the esophageal microbiota, and these microbiota were significantly different. Although the overall structure of the oral and esophageal microbiota did not change after POEM, the relative abundance rate of Haemophilus and Neisseria increased in the esophagus, and endoscopic findings of inflammation improved after POEM (P = .04). The relative abundance of microbiota was not different among patients with achalasia from those with ESCC. CONCLUSIONS The oral and esophageal microbiota were significantly different in patients with achalasia, and some of the composition of the esophageal microbiota changed after POEM. However, these findings and disease-specific microbiota should be further evaluated in large-scale studies.

Abstract
It is reported that an increase in aerobic bacteria, a lack of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and immune disorders in the diverted colon are major causes of diversion colitis. However, the precise pathogenesis of this condition remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the microbiota, intestinal SCFAs, and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the diverted colon. Eight patients underwent operative procedures for colostomies. We assessed the diverted colon using endoscopy and obtained intestinal samples from the diverted colon and oral colon in these patients. We analyzed the microbiota and SCFAs of the intestinal samples. The bacterial communities were investigated using a 16S rRNA gene sequencing method. The microbiota demonstrated a change in the proportion of some species, especially Lactobacillus, which significantly decreased in the diverted colon at the genus level. We also showed that intestinal SCFA values were significantly decreased in the diverted colon. Furthermore, intestinal IgA levels were significantly increased in the diverted colon. This study was the first to show that intestinal SCFAs were significantly decreased and intestinal IgA was significantly increased in the diverted colon. Our data suggest that SCFAs affect the microbiota and may play an immunological role in diversion colitis. Anaerobic bacteria like Lactobacillus significantly decreased in the diverted colon. Fecal short-chain fatty acids significantly decreased in the diverted colon. Acetic acid also decreased significantly in the diverted colon. Fecal immunoglobulin A levels were significantly increased in the diverted colon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Patients with achalasia experience weight loss because of dysphagia caused by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. This study aimed to use dual bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to determine the change in bodyweight and body composition in patients with achalasia before and after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). METHODS Patients with achalasia who underwent POEM from 2013 to 2018 (n = 72) were retrospectively analyzed for change in bodyweight before and after 3 months. Additionally, change in body composition was prospectively investigated in the final 10 of 72 patients using non-radiation dual BIA. RESULTS Twenty patients (27.8%) were underweight (body mass index < 18.5) before undergoing POEM. No clinical parameters were identified to be associated with the underweight condition before POEM and be predictive of an increase in bodyweight after POEM. Low visceral fat volume observed on dual BIA correlated closely with the result obtained using computed tomography (Pearson correlation coefficient: r = 0.850, P < 0.01). Patients with achalasia had a statistically significant increase in visceral (P < 0.01) and subcutaneous fat volumes (P < 0.01) after POEM. Skeletal muscle mass index slightly increased (P = 0.02), although the value after POEM was still low. No blood biomarkers were indicators for low bodyweight or low visceral fat volume. CONCLUSIONS Dual BIA is an effective non-invasive tool to evaluate the change in body composition of underweight patients with achalasia. Skeletal muscle volume was not enough after POEM, although a rapid increase in the intra-abdominal fat volume was observed. Additional studies are warranted to understand the pathological implications.

Abstract
An asymptomatic epiphrenic diverticulum (ED) was diagnosed in a man undergoing annual esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at another hospital 40 years before he presented to our hospital at age 63 years for his annual EGD. However, because substantial food retention was found in the ED, we could not confirm a lesion. After the retained food was removed endoscopically, a second EGD showed a reddish, flat lesion with an elevated mass within the ED. Endoscopic ultrasonography indicated that the elevated mass was deep in the submucosal layer. An esophagram showed that the ED was approximately 80 mm in diameter, which is considered large. An endoscopic biopsy of the lesion confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. Total esophagectomy was performed. Microscopic examination revealed well-differentiated to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma invading the adventitia at the elevated lesion. The final pathological stage was pT3N0M0. There was no evidence of recurrence for 3 years during the quarterly follow-up examinations. To our knowledge, this case involved the longest asymptomatic term (40 years) since the ED was detected. A review of 18 reported cases of carcinoma in an ED indicated that advanced cancer has a poor prognosis. Periodic follow-up of ED patients is essential for early diagnosis.

Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy is a progressive disorder mainly affecting the voluntary muscles. We herein report a rare case of myotonic dystrophy complicated with high-resolution manometry-defined achalasia, the pathology of which is absent relaxation of the smooth muscles of lower esophageal sphincter (LES). In the present case, achalasia was considered a complication of myotonic dystrophy instead of sporadic achalasia, as on performing high-resolution manometry, the finding of an impaired LES relaxation (myotonic phase) changed to a totally emaciated LES function (muscle weakness phase) as myotonic dystrophy progressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Functional gastrointestinal disorders are the most common disorders in gastroenterology and are currently considered as gut-brain interaction disorders with multiple related factors including motility disturbance. However, high-resolution manometry (HRM) had revealed a new disease concept known as minor esophageal motility disorders. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between functional esophageal disorders (FEDs) and minor esophageal motility disorders. METHODS Functional esophageal disorders were diagnosed using upper endoscopy, pH monitoring, and HRM, to exclude achalasia, esophago-gastric junction outflow obstruction, and other major esophageal motility disorders. FEDs with or without minor esophageal motility disorders were compared using the Chicago classification. RESULTS Twelve healthy volunteers also subjected to HRM showed no minor esophageal motility disorders. Of the 40 patients with FEDs, 15 (37.5%) were diagnosed with minor esophageal motility disorders. Characteristics were not different between patients with and without minor esophageal motility disorders (sex: P = 0.609, age: P = 0.054, body mass index: P = 0.137, and presence of psychiatric disorders: P = 0.404). The type and location of symptoms were not related to the comorbidity rate of minor esophageal motility disorders (P = 0.744 and 0.094). No patients with FEDs developed major esophageal motility disorders. CONCLUSIONS Minor esophageal motility disorders were frequently observed in FEDs, but the causal relationship between esophageal symptoms remains unclear. The disease concepts of FEDs and minor esophageal motility disorders are considered to overlap and are both independent of major esophageal motility disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) invading the muscularis mucosae (MM) and submucosa up to 200 µm (SM1) has a risk of metastasis. The aims of this study were to investigate the long-term outcome of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for MM/SM1 ESCC and to assess the management after ESD in our hospital. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single institution. Patients with MM or SM1 ESCC who were treated with ESD were included. Additional prophylactic therapy was added if lymphovascular involvement (LVI) was noted in the ESD specimens. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were analyzed. The median length of follow-up was 71.5 months (range 9 - 144 months) and the median number of CTs was 6 (range 0 - 24). LVI was found in 21 patients (20.6 %), and 12 patients underwent additional prophylactic therapy. The 5-year overall survival, disease-specific survival, and tumor-free survival rates were 84.1 %, 97.5 %, and 82.1 %, respectively. A total of 26 patients died, but only 2 of them died from ESCC. The cumulative metastasis rate was 11.8 %, and LVI was a significant predictor of metastasis (hazard ratio 5.42, 95 % confidence interval 1.39 - 21.18; P = 0.02). There were no differences between patients with MM ESCC and those with SM1 ESCC. CONCLUSIONS The long-term outcome after ESD for MM/SM1 ESCC was favorable with additional prophylactic therapy and strict adherence to follow-up. These results indicate that our management decision based on LVI is a valid approach and that ESD can be offered as a therapeutic option to MM/SM1 ESCCs.

Abstract
High-resolution manometry (HRM) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) have contributed significantly to the field of esophageal motility disorders in recent years. The development of HRM has categorized various esophageal motility disorders with a focus on a diverse range of manometric anomalies. Additionally, the Chicago classification criteria is widely used for manometric diagnosis. Moreover, POEM was introduced as a minimally invasive radical therapy for achalasia and shows promise for other spastic esophageal motility disorders as well. POEM has also enabled a transluminal endoscopic approach for determining the histology of the esophageal muscle layer, which is expected to assist in elucidating the etiology of disorders associated with esophageal motility. The purpose of this review is to update the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment of esophageal motility disorders, with a focus on the recent advances in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are recently developed techniques that have the potential to significantly improve clinical outcomes. However, training opportunities on these techniques remain limited. To address this issue, we developed a novel ex-vivo ESD/POEM training model. Our aim in this paper is to describe the model and provide preliminary evidence of promising feasibility to improve access to ESD/POEM training. METHODS The model was developed using polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, which can easily be modified to reproduce the stiffness of the different intestinal layers, namely the mucosa, submucosa, and muscle layer. RESULTS A training workshop, using our ex-vivo model, was held for 28 residents. Satisfaction and feasibility in using the ex-vivo model for endoscopic training were evaluated by using a self-report questionnaire. All participants were satisfied with their training experience (100% satisfaction rate), with 27 of the 28 participants reporting that the model was feasible in replicating all components of the ESD/POEM technique (96.4% feasibility rate). CONCLUSIONS Based on this feedback, we propose that our non-biomaterial model has the feasibility to provide an effective endoscopy education tool and a satisfactory training experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in elderly patients remain unclear. The aim of this study is to clarify the short- and long-term outcomes of colorectal ESD in elderly patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 482 consecutive patients with 501 colorectal lesions treated with ESD from February 2005 to December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: an elderly group (≥ 75 years of age) and a non-elderly group (< 75 years of age). Short-term outcomes of interest were procedure time, complication rate, hospital stay, en bloc resection rate, and non-curative resection rate. Long-term outcomes of interest were disease-specific survival, and overall survival rates in the elderly group (51 patients) and non-elderly group (92 patients) were also analyzed. RESULTS No significant differences were observed between the groups with respect to short-term outcomes. Two patients in each group required emergency surgery. Of the patients who underwent non-curative resection, 7/12 (58%) in the elderly group and 15/23 (65%) in the non-elderly group underwent additional surgery. The 5-year disease-specific survival rates in the elderly and non-elderly groups were both 100%, and the corresponding 5-year overall survival rates were 86.3 and 93.5%, respectively (p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS Short-term outcomes after colorectal ESD were equivalent in both groups, and all patients showed favorable long-term outcomes. Considering the benign prognosis of lesions resected with ESD, preoperative screening of comorbidities is essential to improve overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement under sedation often causes apnea or hypoventilation. The aim of the present study was to assess whether unsedated PEG placement in ALS patients using ultrathin endoscopy (UTE) via the transoral route can improve safety. METHODS Between 2003 and 2013, PEG placement was identified and reviewed in 45 patients with ALS. PEG was performed in 14 patients using transoral UTE without sedation (UTE group), 17 patients using conventional normal-diameter esophagogastroduodenoscopy (C-EGD) without sedation (unsedated C-EGD group) and 14 patients using C-EGD with sedation (sedated C-EGD group). We compared the clinical features, cardiopulmonary data before and during PEG placement, and complications related to PEG placement among the three groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, male/female ratio, forced vital capacity, blood pressure, oxygen saturation before and during PEG, or major complications among the three groups. No minor complications were observed in the UTE group, whereas apnea and/or hypoventilation were observed in the sedated C-EGD group and aspiration pneumonia was observed in the unsedated C-EGD group. CONCLUSIONS Unsedated PEG placement using transoral UTE in ALS patients is a safe method.

Abstract
A 50-year-old woman had a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placed after surgery for pharyngeal cancer. After 21 months, the PEG tube was removed due to improvement of per-oral ingestion. She had taken prednisolone for 31 years for systemic lupus erythematosus. The post-PEG fistula did not close spontaneously. The cause of the fistula was slow wound healing and gastrostomy site inflammation due to long-term steroid therapy. We were able to close the fistula with an over-the-scope clipping (OTSC) system. This case suggests that OTSC is useful for closing persistent post-PEG fistulas in patients receiving long-term prednisolone therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a cholestasis condition caused by elevated levels of serum bile acids that mainly occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. Maternal symptoms include pruritus; elevation of transaminases, biliary enzymes, and bilirubin levels; and abnormal liver function tests. Fetal symptoms include spontaneous preterm labor, fetal distress, and intrauterine death. It is more prevalent in the Caucasians and is rarely found in Asian countries, including Japan. The etiology of ICP has been reported as involving various factors such as, environmental factors, hormone balance, and genetic components. The genetic factors include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes of canalicular transporters, including ABCB4 and ABCB11. It has also been reported that the combination of these SNPs induces severe cholestasis and liver dysfunction. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report for the first time a 24-year Japanese case of severe ICP diagnosed by typical symptoms, serum biochemical analysis, and treated with the administration of ursodeoxycholic acid which improved cholestasis and liver injury and prevented fetal death. The sequence analysis showed SNPs reported their association with ICP in the ABCB11 (rs2287622, V444A) and ABCB4 (rs1202283, N168N) loci. CONCLUSION The risk of ICP has been reported to be population-specific, and it is rare in the Japanese population. Our case was successfully treated with ursodeoxycholic acid and the genetic sequence analysis has supported the diagnosis. Because genetic variation in ABCB4 and ABCB11 has also been reported in the Japanese population, we need to be aware of potential ICP cases in pregnant Japanese women although further studies are necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic removal of colorectal adenomatous polyps effectively prevents cancer. However, the treatment strategy for diminutive polyps (diameter ≤ 5 mm) remains controversial. Understanding the natural history of diminutive polyps is a prerequisite to their effective management. We prospectively examined the natural history of diminutive polyps by long-term surveillance colonoscopy. METHODS A total of 207 polyps detected in 112 patients from December 1991 through March 2002 were studied. To avoid potential effects on size and morphological characteristics, all polyps were selected randomly and were followed without biopsy. Polyp size was estimated by comparing the lesion with the diameter of a biopsy forceps. RESULTS Mean follow up was 7.8 years (SD, 4.8; range, 1.0-18.6; median, 7.5; interquartile range 3.4-11.2). Twenty-four polyps were resected endoscopically, and the histopathological diagnosis was mucosal high-grade neoplasia (Category 4) for one polyp, and mucosal low-grade neoplasia (Category 3) for 23 polyps. Mean linear size of the polyps was 3.2 mm (SD, 1.0; range, 1.3-5.0) at initial colonoscopy and 3.8 mm (SD 1.6; range 1.3-10.0) at final colonoscopy (P<0.01). Left-sided polyps showed a higher growth rate than right-sided polyps, and a type IIIL2 pit pattern was associated with a lower growth rate than a type IIIL1 pattern. CONCLUSION We clarified the natural history of diminutive polyps by long-term follow-up colonoscopy. The benign course of diminutive polyps should be considered in the design of treatment strategies.

Abstract
Severe alcoholic hepatitis has a high mortality rate due to limited therapeutic methods. Although corticosteroids have been used to control the inflammatory response, the outcomes vary and no standardized therapy has been established. Novel therapeutic approaches, such as anti-TNF-α, pentoxifilline, and others have been tested clinically on the basis of their cytokinemic pathophysiology with limited success. However, treatment of leukocytosis that causes cytokinemia and hepatic inflammation in patients via granulocytapheresis and leukocytapheresis showed promising results in a number of reports. Here, we report two cases of severe alcoholic hepatitis treated with granulocytapheresis. The liver function and inflammation recovered after the therapy. A review of 35 cases treated with granulocytapheresis and leukocytapheresis demonstrated their efficacy in treating alcoholic hepatitis by controlling leukocytosis as well as cytokines such as IL-8. Multidisciplinary treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis should be considered case by case on the basis of the complexity and severity of the condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE For locoregional failure after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), salvage esophagectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection have disadvantages, such as a high morbidity rate and a high local recurrence rate, respectively. The aim of this study was to clarify the efficacy of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for locoregional failure of CRT. METHODS A total of 19 lesions in 19 patients were treated with salvage ESD; 15 lesions were local recurrences at the primary site and 4 lesions were residual. All lesions were intramucosal or submucosal tumors without metastases. A case-control study was retrospectively evaluated to clarify whether the clinical outcomes of salvage ESD were equivalent to those of control primary ESD. RESULTS No significant differences were observed between salvage ESD and primary ESD in short-term outcomes, including procedure time. For salvage ESD, the complete en bloc resection rate was 94.7% (18 of 19), and no severe complications were observed. At a median follow up of 54.6 (range: 5-98) months after salvage ESD, the local recurrence rate was 0%. However, three patients (15.8%) died due to lymph node and distant metastases and six patients (31.5%) died from other diseases, including radiation pneumonitis, pyothorax or respiratory failure with no recurrence of ESCC. The 3-year overall survival rate for all 19 patients was 74%. CONCLUSIONS ESD represents an acceptable treatment option for recurrent or residual ESCC because of its improvement in local control, when local failure after CRT is limited to the submucosal layer without metastases.

Abstract
ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers (ADCRs) convert local chromatin structure into both transcriptional active and repressive state. Recent studies have revealed that ADCRs play diverse regulatory roles in chromosomal events such as DNA repair and recombination. Here we have newly identified a fission yeast gene encoding a Swi2/Snf2 family ADCR. The amino acid sequence of this gene, snf21(+), implies that Snf21 is a fission yeast orthologue of the budding yeast Sth1, the catalytic core of the RSC chromatin remodeling complex. The snf21(+) gene product is a nuclear protein essential to cell viability: the null mutant cells stop growing after several rounds of cell divisions. A temperature sensitive allele of snf21(+), snf21-36 exhibits at non-permissive temperature (34 degrees C) a cell cycle arrest at G2-M phase and defects in chromosome segregation, thereby causing cell elongation, lack of cell growth, and death of some cell population. snf21-36 shows thiabendazole (TBZ) sensitivity even at permissive temperature (25 degrees C). The TBZ sensitivity becomes severer as snf21-36 is combined with the deletion of a centromere-localized Mad2 spindle checkpoint protein. The cell cycle arrest phenotype at 34 degrees C cannot be rescued by the mad2(+) deletion, although it is substantially alleviated at 30 degrees C in mad2Delta. These data suggest that Snf21 plays an essential role in mitosis possibly functioning in centromeric chromatin.

Abstract
The authors encountered a patient with gastric varices draining to the IVC not only via the usual route of the left renal vein but also via a circumaortic renal vein. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (B-RTO) of the gastric varix was performed with balloon occlusion of the circumaortic renal vein and retrograde injection of sclerosing agent (5% of ethanolamine oleate) into the varix. Eradication of the gastric varix was confirmed on endoscopic examination 2 months later. We document the first case of B-RTO performed for gastric varix via the circumaortic renal vein. Details of this rare occurrence and implications for treatment are presented herein.

In the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region, meiotic recombination breakpoints are clustered in four specific sites known as hotspots. Here we reveal the primary structure of a hotspot near the Pb gene. A total of 12 crossover points were found to be confined to a 15-kb DNA segment of the Pb pseudogene. Moreover, the crossover points are concentrated in a 341-bp segment, which includes a part of exon 4 and intron 4 of the Pb gene. All four MHC hotspots appear to be located within genes or at the 3' end of genes, contrasting with characterized hotspots in budding yeast, which are mostly located at the 5'-promoter regions of genes. The Pb hotspot has several consensus motifs, an octamer transcription factor-binding sequence, the B-motif-like transcription factor-binding sequence, and tandem repeats of tetramer sequence-all of which are shared by the other three hotspots. Systematic analysis of the public database demonstrated that the full motif set occurs rarely in the nucleotide sequence of the entire MHC class II region. All results suggest that the motif set has an indispensable role in determining their site specificity.

Abstract
Palindromic sequences can form hairpin and cruciform structures that pose a threat to genome integrity. We found that a 160-bp palindrome (an inverted repeat of 80 bp) conferred a mitotic recombination hotspot relative to a control nonpalindromic sequence when inserted into the ade6 gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The hotspot activity of the palindrome, but not the basal level of recombination, was abolished by a rad50 deletion, by a rad50S "separation of function" mutation, or by a rad32-D25A mutation in the nuclease domain of the Rad32 protein, an Mre11 homolog. We propose that upon extrusion of the palindrome the Rad50.Rad32 nuclease complex recognizes and cleaves the secondary structure thus formed and generates a recombinogenic break in the DNA.
