Abstract
There seemed to be characteristic risk factors in cirrhotic patients for posthepatectomy complications because these patients have less hepatic reserve as compared with noncirrhotic patients. The aim of the current study was to identify these characteristic risk factors in cirrhotic patients. We performed 419 primary hepatectomies for hepatocellular carcinoma. The patients were divided into the cirrhotic group (n = 198) and the noncirrhotic group (n = 221), and the risk factors for posthepatectomy complications were compared between the groups. Thirty-six cirrhotic patients (18.2%) experienced Clavien's Grade III or more complications. Tumor size, intraoperative blood loss, duration of operation, major hepatectomy (two or more segments), and necessity of blood transfusion were found to be significant risk factors in univariate analyses. Multivariate analysis revealed that major hepatectomy and intraoperative blood loss were independent risk factors for posthepatectomy complications in patients with cirrhosis. On the other hand, the duration of operation was only an independent risk factor for posthepatectomy complication in noncirrhotic patients. Cirrhotic patients should avoid a major hepatectomy and undergo a limited resection preserving as much liver tissue as possible and meticulous surgical procedures to lessen intraoperative blood loss are mandatory to prevent major posthepatectomy complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Silent cerebral thromboembolism (CE) in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is not rare. Prior our study has reported lower incidence of silent CE in AF radiofrequency (RF) ablation using irrigated-tip catheter than conventional 4 or 8mm-tip catheter. In addition, the incidence of silent CE in AF ablation under direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) was equivalent to continuous therapeutic warfarin. Recently pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon (CB) has emerged as an alternative technique to RF ablation because some studies suggested that the efficacy for PVI by CB was equivalent to RF. However, incidence of silent CE in CB ablation under the use of DOAC is unknown.
Objective
We aimed to evaluate the incidence new silent CE in AF ablation using CB system compared with irrigated RF system under the use of DOAC.
Methods
322 consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF (155 using CB system, 167 using RF system) who underwent the first AF ablation were taking DOAC more than one month prior to the procedure. Throughout AF ablation procedure, heparin was administered to maintain activated clotting time (ACT) between 300 and 400 seconds. Head MRI was performed in all patients within 24 hours after the procedure.
Results
In 14 (9.0%) patients using CB and in 20 (12.0%) patients using RF, head MRI showed new embolic lesions without neurological symptom (P=0.469). Although the amount of heparin during the procedure in group CB was significantly less than in group RF (16134±3125 U vs. 18689±5222 U; P<0.0001), amount of heparin per hour in group CB was more than in group RF (8335±1955 U/h vs. 6143±1918 U/h; P<0.0001) because procedure time in group CB was shorter than in group RF (121.3±34.1 min vs. 189.5±47.4 min; P<0.0001). Mean ACT in both groups was maintained high level (3367±25.3 sec. vs. 338.6±23.5 sec.; P=0.479). In univariate analysis, minimum ACT during procedure, as before puncture of interatrial septum, were significantly correlated with the incidence of silent CE (P=0.027).
Conclusions
The incidence of silent CE in AF ablation using CB system was lower than RF system, although it was not a significant difference between different ablation techniques for AF. In AF ablation, the use of CB may be preferred rather than RF as ablation system in regard to risk reduction of thromboembolic complications.

Abstract
Primary dog hepatocytes spontaneously formed spheroids in the pores of polyurethane foam (PUF) within 1–2 days of stationary culture. The spheroids, about 100–150 μm in diameter, partly attached to the surface and immobilized inside these pores. The lidocaine disappearance rate decreased to about 4 μg/105 viable cells/day for 10 days, while in the PUF/spheroid culture the rate was maintained at almost the initial level of 8 μg/105 viable cells/day for 10 days. Then, two scales of PUF packed-bed modules were designed. A small module (PUF volume; 14.5 cm3) was used for in vitro culture to investigate optimum culture conditions, and a large module (PUF volume; 300 cm3) was designed for dog experiments. Hepatocytes inoculated in these modules also formed spheroids and maintained almost the same activity of albumin secretion rate (111 μg/cm3 PUF/day in the small module and 87.7 μg/cm3 PUF/day in the large module). These results indicate that the PUF packed-bed module containing hepatocyte-spheroids is promising as a hybrid artificial liver

Abstract
We studied the effects of a hybrid artificial liver support system we developed on dogs with hepatic failure. The system consisted of a multi-channel polyurethane foam packed-bed culture module, including primary dog hepatocyte spheroids. Blood ammonia was well metabolized by 20 g hepatocytes, but the other functions such as glucose concentration, total bile acid concentration, and survival time required 30 g hepatocytes to improve conditions. We found that we should use a culture substratum that easily forms spheroids, and that an artificial liver module should be used as soon as possible after spheroid formation by hepatocytes in the module.

Abstract
Hepatectomy needing simultaneous reconstruction of the hepatic artery and the portal vein in the operation for cholangiocarcinoma is a challenging procedure. We experienced three cases of left hepatectomy with simultaneous reconstructions of the right hepatic artery (RHA) and the right portal vein (RPV) in all of which the surgical procedures were performed in the same manner. At the initial step of the procedure, we confirmed that the RHA and the RPV at the porta hepatis as well as the proper hepatic artery and the main portal vein (MPV) proximal to the cancer involvement could be controlled by tapes, which meant the cancer could be resected by means of vascular reconstructions. All the vascular reconstructions were performed under loupe magnification. The mean periods of portal and arterial ischemic time of the remnant liver were 14 min. 32 sec. and 35 min. 58 sec., respectively. The mean operative time and the intraoperative blood loss were 627 min. and 804 mL, respectively. No serious postoperative complication occurred. By performing step-by-step well-established procedures, this complicated and challenging operation could be safely completed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MOB1, a core component of the Hippo signaling pathway, suppresses cell proliferation, and MOB1 liver conditional knockout mice develop intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). However, its clinical significance in human ICC has not been established. The aim of this study was to characterize protein levels and the role of Hippo and TGF pathways in ICCs. METHODS The protein levels of yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), MOB1, Smad2, and TGFβ2 in 88 ICC cases were analyzed. Protein level was graded by a scoring system; then, the clinicopathological factors, including prognosis, were analyzed based on protein level. RESULTS Nuclear overexpression of YAP1 was seen in 28 cases (31.8%), and it was significantly associated with a poor overall survival rate (p = 0.01). MOB1 expression decreased in 42 cases (47.7%) and was associated with a poor overall survival rate (p = 0.02). SMAD2 nuclear localization was significantly correlated with a high YAP1 level independent of TGFβ2. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high YAP1 level, a low MOB1 level, and lymphatic permeation were independent risk factors for overall survival. CONCLUSIONS These results showed that key components of the Hippo signaling pathway are aberrantly expressed and associated with the malignant potential of human ICC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractory ascites is a serious post-hepatectomy complication in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In order to avoid this complication, surgeons should preserve as much liver parenchyma as possible in performing hepatectomy in such patients. However, we still occasionally encounter refractory ascites even after limited or small hepatectomy. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for post-hepatectomy refractory ascites in cirrhotic patients, focusing on limited or small hepatectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data of 73 cirrhotic patients with HCC who underwent limited or small hepatectomy were analyzed. Limited or small hepatectomy was defined as hepatectomy equal to or of less than subsegmentectomy. We compared the clinicopathological factors between patients with and without postoperative refractory ascites. RESULTS Fourteen cirrhotic patients suffered postoperative refractory ascites. Total cholesterol, duration of operation, duration of Pringle maneuver, resection of segment VII, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative blood transfusion were found to be significant risk factors for postoperative refractory ascites in univariate analyses. Multivariate analysis revealed that resection of segment VII was an independent risk factor. CONCLUSION Resection of segment VII necessitates extensive dissection of the right triangular or coronary ligaments, which could explain that it was an independent risk factor for post-hepatectomy refractory ascites. Surgeons should avoid extensive dissection of these ligaments in order to avoid this detrimental complication.

Abstract
The influence of supporting rings on the healing of the ringed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular graft (ringed graft) was studied. In 12 dogs (32-42 kgm), a 4cm segment of each common iliac artery was excised and replaced with an equal length of 6mm ePTFE vascular graft. Ringed graft was used on one side and plain on the other. Dogs were sacrificed at intervals of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks. All grafts remained patent. The degree of pannus extension and pannus thickness showed no differences between both grafts at each interval. It was covered by a monolayer of endothelial-like cells as seen by scanning electron microscopy. The growth rates of endothelialization measured from the proximal anastomosis were 1.3 and 1.4 mm/week in the plain and ringed grafts, respec tively. Anastomotic intimal hyperplasia (> 50 microns) was noted in 25% and 33% at the proximal and distal anastomoses, respectively, in both grafts. The outer surface was covered by adherent connective tissue particularly encapsu lating the rings without affecting the non-ringed portion in the ringed grafts. We conclude that the supporting rings of the ePTFE graft have no significant influence on the healing and neointimal development.

Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to investigate the healing of thin-walled reinforced expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) vascular graft (thin graft) . In 12 dogs (30-35 kgm), a 4 cm segment of each common iliac artery was excised and replaced with an equal length of PTFE vascular graft, 6mm internal diameter. Standard graft was used on one side and thin graft on the other. Dogs were sacrificed at intervals up to 12 weeks. Pannus extension started at both ends after the first week. The degree of pannus extension and pannus thickness showed no difference between both grafts at each interval. It was covered by a monolayer of endothelial-like cells as seen by scanning electron microscopy. Anastomotic hyperplasia and the growth rates of endothelialization measured from the proximal anastomosis were simi lar. No significant difference was noted in the healing between the thin-walled and standard PTFE vascular grafts for up to 12 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma caused by exposure to 1,2-dichloropropane and/or dichloromethane is recognized as occupational cholangiocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes after resection of occupational cholangiocarcinoma to establish a treatment strategy for this disease. METHODS Clinicopathological findings and outcomes after surgical intervention in 20 patients with occupational cholangiocarcinoma were investigated. RESULTS Of 20 the patients, curative resection was performed in 16 patients. Three patients underwent radiation at the stump of the bile ducts. Adjuvant chemotherapy was performed in 12 patients. Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia, intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, and/or chronic bile duct injury was detected in most subjects. Intraabdominal infection developed after surgery in nine patients. Cholangiocarcinoma recurred in 12 of the 20 patients. The recurrent tumors in five patients developed at a different part of the bile duct from the primary tumor and a second resection was performed in four of these five patients. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of postoperative complications including intraabdominal infection was high in patients with occupational cholangiocarcinoma. Multicentric recurrence occurred not infrequently after surgery because the bile ducts had a high potential for the development of carcinoma. The aggressive treatment including second resection for the multicentric recurrence appeared to be effective.

Abstract
To understand the molecular mechanism of the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid haemorrhage, we analysed the effect of cerebrospinal fluid from patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage on DNA synthesis and cytosolic-free calcium elevation in cultured porcine cerebral smooth muscle cells. Cerebrospinal fluid from patients on day 2 after subarachnoid haemorrhage induced transient elevation in cytosolic-free calcium levels. In contrast, the maximal elevation of cytosolic-free calcium levels induced by cerebrospinal fluid from control patients (without subarachnoid haemorrhage) was significantly lower than that induced by cerebrospinal fluid from patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage. In cultured porcine cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells, cerebrospinal fluid from patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage promoted levels of [3H]-thymidine incorporation (DNA synthesis) more than 2.5-fold higher than that promoted by cerebrospinal fluid from control patients without subarachnoid haemorrhage. However, in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells, there was no significant difference in [3H]-thymidine incorporation between cerebrospinal fluid from patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and that by control cerebrospinal fluid. From these results in cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells, cerebrospinal fluid from patients following subarachnoid haemorrhage may play not only constrictive functions, evidenced by cytosolic-free calcium elevations, but also proliferative functions, demonstrated by promotion of [3H]-thymidine incorporation. The relevance of these factors to vasospasm will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypermethylation of DNA silences gene expression and is an important event in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to identify aberrantly methylated genes that contribute to a poor prognosis for patients with CRC. METHODS The study comprehensively explored DNA methylation microarray profiles from 396 CRC samples and 45 normal control samples in a database and selected aberrantly methylated transcription factors associated with prognosis and metastasis. Using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the identified genes in 140 patients with CRC were validated to assess the relationship between expression of methylated genes and prognosis. RESULTS In the study, FOXE1 was newly identified as a gene associated with prognosis and metastasis in CRC. Expression of FOXE1 in CRC tissues was significantly lower than in normal colorectal tissues (p = 0.01). The survival rate for the patients with low expression of FOXE1 was significantly lower than that for patients with high expression of FOXE1 in uni- and multivariate analyses. Inhibition of DNA methylation recovered FOXE1 expression in CRC cells. CONCLUSIONS Methylation-mediated silencing of FOXE1 expression was shown to be a potential prognostic factor in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is defined as a detrimental staging factor. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether the prognosis of surgical patients with ruptured HCC was truly appalling. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data obtained from the medical records of 1,031 patients who underwent primary R0 hepatecomy for HCC between August 2003 and November 2014 at the Department of Surgery and Science, Kyushu University Hospital and its two affiliated hospitals, were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-seven patients had ruptured HCC. RESULTS The recurrence-free and overall survival for patients with ruptured HCC were favorable. All 19 patients with ruptured HCC who experienced recurrence had intrahepatic recurrence, while only three had peritoneal recurrence. The multivariate risk factor analyses showed that rupture itself was not relevant to recurrence-free survival nor to overall patient survival. CONCLUSION Rupture itself does not have much relevance to the outcome for patients who undergo hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify the pathological characteristics of occupational cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS We examined the location and distribution of the carcinomas: atypical epithelium including biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB); and chronic bile duct injuries in operative or autopsy liver specimens from 16 patients. We examined the detailed pathological findings and diagnostic imaging of three patients. Immunohistochemical analysis using primary antibodies against γH2AX and S100P was performed. RESULTS BilIN and chronic bile duct injury were observed in 16 patients, and IPNB or invasive IPNB was observed in 11 patients. BilIN, IPNB, and/or chronic bile duct injury were observed in almost all the large bile ducts. Regional dilatation of the bile ducts without tumor-induced obstruction revealed such pathological changes. Highly positive results for the γH2AX and S100P markers were noted in invasive carcinoma, BilIN, and IPNB, whereas positive results for γH2AX and negative results for S100P were noted in non-neoplastic biliary epithelium. CONCLUSIONS The carcinogenic process of occupational cholangiocarcinoma comprised chronic bile duct injury and DNA damage in almost all the large bile ducts, along with induction of precancerous lesions and development of invasive carcinoma. Such pathological findings reflected radiological changes on diagnostic imaging.

Abstract
Much interest has been drawn to possible associations between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk in conjunction with potentially protective effects of calcium and vitamin D. In a study of 685 cases of colorectal cancer and 778 community controls in Japan, we examined the associations of the FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI polymorphisms with colorectal cancer risk and effect modification by dietary calcium and vitamin D. Genotypes were determined by the PCR-RFLP method. The ApaI polymorphism seemed to be associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer, particularly of rectal cancer. The adjusted odds ratio of colorectal cancer for the ApaI AA and Aa genotypes combined versus the aa genotype was 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67-1.02), and the corresponding value for rectal cancer was 0.75 (95%CI 0.56-0.99). A decreased risk of colorectal cancer for the ApaI AA and Aa genotypes combined was more evident in individuals with high calcium intake (interaction p=0.055). The FokI polymorphism seemed to be associated with a decreased risk of colon cancer among those with high vitamin D intake (interaction p=0.09). The BsmI and TaqI polymorphisms were unrelated to colorectal cancer risk, and the null associations were not modified by calcium or vitamin D intake. In conclusion, the ApaI polymorphism may be associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer in Japanese, dependent on dietary calcium intake.

Abstract
One-carbon metabolism plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. Meta-analyses have suggested protective associations of folate and vitamin B6 intakes with colorectal cancer primarily based on studies in Caucasians, and genetic polymorphisms pertaining to the folate metabolism have been a matter of interest. Less investigated are the roles of methionine synthase (MTR) and thymidylate synthetase (TS) polymorphisms in colorectal carcinogenesis. In a study of 816 cases and 815 community controls in Japan, we investigated associations of dietary intakes of folate, methionine, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 with colorectal cancer risk. The associations with MTR 2756A>G, MTRR 66A>G, and TSER repeat polymorphism were examined in 685 cases and 778 controls. Methionine and vitamin B12 intakes were inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk, but the associations were totally confounded by dietary calcium and n-3 fatty acids. The other nutrients showed no association with the risk even without adjustment for calcium and n-3 fatty acids. The TSER 2R allele was dose-dependently associated with an increased risk. The MTR and MTRR polymorphisms were unrelated to colorectal cancer risk. There was no measurable gene-gene or gene-nutrient interaction, but increased risk associated with the TSER 2R allele seemed to be confined to individuals with high folate status. This study does not support protective associations for folate and vitamin B6. The TSER 2R allele may confer an increased risk of colorectal cancer. The role of the TSER polymorphism in colorectal carcinogenesis may differ by ethnicity.

Abstract
Sediment sludge during coagulation and sedimentation in drinking water treatment is called "water treatment residuals (WTR)". Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is mainly used as a coagulant in Japan. The recycling of WTR has been desired; one method for its reuse is as plowed soil. However, WTR reuse in this way is inhibited by the aluminum from the added PAC, because of its high adsorption capacity for phosphate and other fertilizer components. The removal of such aluminum from WTR would therefore be advantageous for its reuse as plowed soil; this research clarified the effect of acid washing on aluminum removal from WTR and on plant growth in the treated soil. The percentage of aluminum removal from raw WTR by sulphuric acid solution was around 90% at pH 3, the percentage decreasing to 40% in the case of a sun-dried sample. The maximum phosphate adsorption capacity was decreased and the available phosphorus was increased by acid washing, with 90% of aluminum removal. The enhancement of Japanese mustard spinach growth and the increased in plant uptake of phosphates following acid washing were observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decreased antithrombin III (ATIII) activity and large splenic vein diameter (SVD) are risk factors for portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after splenectomy in liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension. Antithrombin III concentrates can prevent PVT. This study was designed to stratify risks for PVT after splenectomy in cirrhotic patients and to develop prophylactic protocols for PVT. STUDY DESIGN In 53 patients (testing cohort), the cutoff level of preoperative ATIII activity (≤60%) was evaluated for administration of ATIII concentrates. Antithrombin III activity and SVD were re-evaluated as criteria for prophylaxis of PVT. In 57 patients (validation cohort), the risk stratification of PVT and prophylactic protocols were validated. RESULTS In the testing cohort, 10 (19%) of 53 patients had PVT. Risk level of PVT was stratified and prophylactic protocols were developed. Patients at low risk (ATIII activity ≥70% and SVD <10 mm) were not treated; those at high risk (ATIII activity <70% or SVD ≥10 mm) received ATIII concentrates (1,500 U/day) for 3 days; and those at highest risk (SVD ≥15 mm) received ATIII concentrates for 3 days, followed by danaparoid sodium (2,500 U/day) for 14 days and warfarin. In the validation cohort, 0 of 14 low-risk and 2 of 32 high-risk patients had PVT. Although 8 of 11 patients at highest risk had temporary PVT, it disappeared within 3 months postoperatively. Finally, only 2 (3.5%) of 57 patients had PVT. CONCLUSIONS Risk stratification of PVT after splenectomy and prophylaxis with ATIII concentrates and danaparoid sodium dramatically reduced the incidence of PVT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma has been reported in workers exposed to chlorinated organic solvents and has consequently been classified as an occupational disease (occupational cholangiocarcinoma) by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of nine workers newly diagnosed with occupational cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS This study was a retrospective study conducted in 13 hospitals and three universities. Clinicopathological findings of nine occupational cholangiocarcinoma patients from seven printing companies in Japan were investigated and compared with 17 cholangiocarcinoma patients clustered in a single printing company in Osaka. RESULTS Patient age at diagnosis was 31-57 years. Patients were exposed to 1,2-dichloropropane and/or dichloromethane. Serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity was elevated in all patients. Regional dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts without tumor-induced obstruction was observed in two patients. Four patients developed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and five developed hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia and/or intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct was observed in four patients with available operative or autopsy specimens. CONCLUSIONS Most of these patients with occupational cholangiocarcinoma exhibited typical findings, including high serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity, regional dilatation of the bile ducts, and precancerous lesions, similar to findings previously reported in 17 occupational cholangiocarcinoma patients in Osaka.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A diet high in sugars may promote colorectal carcinogenesis, but it remains uncertain whether high intake of sugars or sucrose confers increased risk of colorectal cancer. The authors investigated the associations of sugars and sucrose intake with colorectal cancer risk in a community-based case-control study in Japan. METHODS The study subjects comprised 816 incident cases of colorectal cancer and 815 community controls. Consumption frequencies and portion sizes of 148 food and beverage items were ascertained by a computer-assisted interview. The authors used the consumption of 29 food items to estimate sugars and sucrose intake. The odds ratios of colorectal cancer risk according to intake categories were obtained using a logistic regression model with adjustment for potential confounding variables. RESULTS Overall, intakes of sugars and sucrose were not related to colorectal cancer risk either in men or women. The association between sugars intake and colorectal cancer risk differed by smoking status and alcohol use in men, but not in women. In men, sugars intake tended to be associated with colorectal cancer risk inversely among never-smokers and positively among male ever-smokers (interaction p=0.01). Sugars intake was associated with an increased risk among men with no alcohol consumption, but was unrelated to the risk among male alcohol drinkers (interaction p=0.02). Body mass index did not modify the association with sugars intake in either men or women. CONCLUSION Sugars intake was associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer among smokers and non-alcohol drinkers in men selectively.

Abstract
There seemed to be characteristic risk factors in cirrhotic patients for posthepatectomy complications because these patients have less hepatic reserve as compared with noncirrhotic patients. The aim of the current study was to identify these characteristic risk factors in cirrhotic patients. We performed 419 primary hepatectomies for hepatocellular carcinoma. The patients were divided into the cirrhotic group (n = 198) and the noncirrhotic group (n = 221), and the risk factors for posthepatectomy complications were compared between the groups. Thirty-six cirrhotic patients (18.2%) experienced Clavien's Grade III or more complications. Tumor size, intraoperative blood loss, duration of operation, major hepatectomy (two or more segments), and necessity of blood transfusion were found to be significant risk factors in univariate analyses. Multivariate analysis revealed that major hepatectomy and intraoperative blood loss were independent risk factors for posthepatectomy complications in patients with cirrhosis. On the other hand, the duration of operation was only an independent risk factor for posthepatectomy complication in noncirrhotic patients. Cirrhotic patients should avoid a major hepatectomy and undergo a limited resection preserving as much liver tissue as possible and meticulous surgical procedures to lessen intraoperative blood loss are mandatory to prevent major posthepatectomy complications.

Abstract
Fully absorption coefficient corrected Raman spectra were obtained in La2-xSrxCuO4. The B1g spectra have a Fleury-Loudon type two-magnon peak (resonant term) whose energy decreases from 3180 cm(-1) (394 meV) to 440 cm(-1) (55 meV) on increasing the carrier density from x = 0 to 0.25, while the B2g spectra have a 1000-3500 cm(-1) (124-434 meV) hump (hill) whose lower-edge energy increases from x = 0 to 0.115 and then stays constant to x = 0.25. The B2g hump is assigned to the electronic scattering (non-resonant term) of the spectral function with magnetic self-energy. The completely different carrier density dependence arises from anisotropic magnetic excitations of spin-charge stripes. The B1g spectra were assigned to the sum of k ∥ and k⊥ stripe excitations and the B2g spectra to k⊥ stripe excitations according to the calculation by Seibold and Lorenzana (2006 Phys. Rev. B 73 144515). The k ∥ and k⊥ stripe excitations in fluctuating spin-charge stripes were separately detected for the first time. The appearance of only k⊥ stripe excitations in the electronic scattering arises from the charge hopping perpendicular to the stripe. This is the same direction as the Burgers vector of the edge dislocation in metal. The successive charge hopping in the Burgers vector direction across the charge stripes may cause Cooper pairs as predicted by Zaanen et al (2004 Ann. Phys. 310 181). Indeed, this is supported by the experimental fact that the superconducting coherent length coincides with the inter-charge stripe distance in the wide carrier density range. The one-directional charge hopping perpendicular to the stripe causes the flat Fermi surface and the pseudogap near (π,0) and (0,π), but the states around (π/2,π/2) cannot be produced. The low-energy Raman scattering disclosed that the electronic states at the Fermi arc around (π/2,π/2) are coupled to the A1g soft phonon of the tetragonal-orthorhombic phase transition. This suggests that the Fermi arc is produced by the electron-phonon interaction. All the present Raman data suggest that Cooper pairs are formed at moving edge dislocations of dynamical charge stripes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatectomy in a patient with situs inversus patient is technically challenging because of its complete mirror image anatomy, especially for a tumor located deep in the liver. Incorrectly identifying intrahepatic vessels and biliary system would lead to serious complications. We experienced a hepatectomy for a tumor in a patient with situs inversus totalis with referring to computer-generated mirror images. METHODS A 66-year-old female patient with situs inversus totalis was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma, 5 cm in diameter, centrally located just above the hepatic hilum compressing the right and left hepatic duct. The liver infected with hepatitis C was cirrhotic with a moderate amount of ascites. We preoperatively created several diagrams of the mirror image anatomy and made plans for how to resect this tumor, presupposing the patient had an ordinary anatomy. The tumor was successfully enucleated with referring to these diagrams. RESULTS The operation time was 454 minutes. Five units of fresh frozen plasma was transfused intraoperatively. Although she suffered refractory ascites which needed repeated paracentesis, she managed to leave the hospital two months after the operation. CONCLUSION Creating a mirror image anatomy enables surgeons to safely perform a complex hepatectomy in a patient with situs inversus totalis.

Abstract
In a strongly correlated electron system, the single-particle spectral function changes into a coherent peak and incoherent humps which extend over 1 eV. The incoherent parts lose the symmetry and k dependence, so that the Raman spectra with different symmetries become identical and they are expressed by the optical conductivity. We found that the B1g and B2g spectra in La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4 become identical above 2000 cm(-1) in the underdoped phase, if Fleury-Loudon type B1g two-magnon scattering is removed. The first Raman susceptibility moment correlates with the generalized optical conductivity moment. The good correlation arises from the incoherent states of a hump from 1000 to 4000 cm(-1). The hump is the only structure of the incoherent electronic states in the mid-infrared absorption spectra below 1.4 eV at low carrier densities. The energy is twice the separated dispersion segments of the spin wave in the k(perpendicular) stripe direction. The incoherent state is formed by the magnetic excitations created by the hole hopping in the antiferromagnetic spin stripes in the real space picture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our current therapeutic criterion for acute cholecystitis is: Perform a subemergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) when a patient is judged to be able to tolerate general anesthesia. The aim of the current study was to verify whether this criterion is justified. METHODS The outcomes of 21 cases of LC for acute cholecystitis performed between April 2011 and September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Subemergency LC was performed according to the aforementioned criterion (Subemergency group; n = 16). Patient who was judged to be unable to tolerate general anesthesia underwent percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) first, then LC after the patients' condition became stable (PTGBD group; n = 5). RESULTS There is no conversion to open surgery throughout the study period. The mean of the total hospital stays in the Subemergency group was significantly shorter than that in the PTGBD group (11.5 +/- 5.3 vs. 30.4 +/- 8.5 days). Although two patients in the Subemergency group, who had already needed oxygen administration preoperatively, suffered postoperative respiratory failure, they completely recovered. On the other hand, there is no postoperative complication in the PTGBD group. DISCUSSION Subemergency LC could be safely performed when surgeons as well as anesthesiologists judged a patient to be able to tolerate general anesthesia, which significantly shorten hospital stays compared to elective LC after PTGBD. However, elective LC after PTGBD is an absolutely safer therapeutic option in treating unstable patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We clarified the characteristics of the high energy trauma patients that entered the general surgery ward of Fukuoka city hospital (FCH), a 200 bed secondary emergency hospital in Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of the 7,826 total ambulance cases treated from April 2008 to March 2012 in our emergency room, 831 trauma patients who entered our hospital were analyzed. These patients were classified into a non high energy (NHE) and high energy trauma (HE) group based on the mechanisms of injuries. RESULTS Of the 831 trauma cases, 741 (89.2%) were in the NHE and 90 (10.8%) were in the HE group. Eleven of the 741 cases (1.5%) in the NHE group and 18 of the 90 cases (20.0%) in the HE group entered the Department of General Surgery as inpatients, with the frequency being significantly higher in the latter group (p < 0.01). 11 of the 18 cases (61.1%) of Department of General Surgery in the HE group were diagnosed to have an injury severity score (ISS) of 15 or higher, and the rate of preventable trauma deaths (PTDs) of those 11 cases was 9.1% (1/11). CONCLUSIONS The proportion of the patients that entered the Department of General Surgery was higher in the HE group than in the NHE group. The surgical departments of secondary emergency facilities are expected to contribute to the local trauma emergency systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term dialysis often causes physiological and metabolic problems that may affect the outcomes of surgery. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether emergency surgery for acute abdomen yields similar outcomes in dialysis patients versus non-dialysis patients. METHODS The subjects were 126 patients who underwent emergency surgery for acute abdomen between January, 2007 and November, 2011 in our hospital. They were divided into a dialysis group (HD group; n = 9) and a non-dialysis group (non-HD group; n = 117) and their postoperative morbidity and mortality were compared. RESULTS Postoperative morbidity and mortality were significantly worse in the HD group. All 9 of these patients succumbed to postoperative complications versus only 5 of the 117 patients in the non-HD group. CONCLUSION The outcomes of emergency surgery for acute abdomen were significantly worse for dialysis patients than for non-dialysis patients. Prompt diagnosis, initiation of the most suitable surgical procedure, and meticulous postoperative cares are imperative to improving the surgical outcomes of dialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Surgical risk of laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer in high risk patients was evaluated with E-PASS scoring system. METHODOLOGY This study was based on 63 patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy; 14 patients belonging to high risk group (ASA≥3) and 49 classified as low risk group (ASA≤2). Fifty six patients who underwent conventional gastrectomy were used for comparison. RESULTS Intra- and postoperative complications were found in 4 and 3 of 14 high risk patients, respectively. We found a significant correlation between E-PASS score and complications. E-PASS score in high risk group was significantly higher than the value in low risk group. The estimated in-hospital mortality rate was significantly different between the two groups. When conventional gastrectomy group for high risk patients was compared, postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were similar in two surgical procedures; however E-PASS score and the estimated in-hospital mortality rate with conventional gastrectomy were significantly higher than the value with laparoscopic gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS There were no fatal complications in high risk patients with laparoscopic gastrectomy and E-PASS score was within safety margin. Extension of laparoscopic surgery in high risk patients was feasible when careful procedure was performed by a surgical team.

Abstract
Cord colitis syndrome (CCS) is a recently proposed clinical entity characterized by a persistent diarrheal illness after cord blood transplantation (CBT), which is not caused by GVHD or CMV colitis. CCS is histologically characterized by chronic active colitis with granulomatous inflammation and Paneth cell metaplasia suggesting chronicity. However, the specificity of these pathological features to CCS remains to be validated. We conducted a retrospective study of 49 patients who had diarrhea and underwent diagnostic colonoscopy with biopsy following allogeneic hematopoietic SCT. None of the patients met the clinical criteria for CCS. Chronic active colitis with granulomatous inflammation and Paneth cell metaplasia was present in 12/33 (36%) patients with biopsy-proven GVHD, 4/6 (67%) patients with CMV colitis and 2/15 (13%) patients with nonspecific colitis. In patients with GVHD and/or CMV colitis, these pathological features were present in 4/8 (50%) patients after CBT and in 11/26 (42%) patients undergoing BMT or PBSCT. These results demonstrate that chronic active colitis with granuloma and Paneth cell metaplasia is not only a specific feature of CCS but also is present in GVHD and CMV colitis, irrespective of stem cell source.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients with Child-Pugh class B remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the results of hepatic resection plus microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) versus living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for HCC in cirrhotic patients with Child-Pugh class B. MATERIAL/METHODS Between January 1998 and June 2008, 30 patients underwent hepatic resection plus MCN and 40 patients underwent LDLT for HCC with Child-Pugh class B. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were established. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated, and a log-rank test was performed to compare group survival status. RESULTS There was no difference in overall survival after hepatic resection plus MCT (1-, 3-, and 5-year: 86.7%, 70.4%, and 70.4%, respectively) compared with LDLT (1-, 3-, and 5-year: 92.5%, 81.5%, and 72.6%, respectively). Disease-free survival was significantly better after LDLT compared with hepatic resection plus MCT. On multivariate analyses, the des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) level of more 300 mAU/mL was an independent risk factor for overall survival and recurrence of HCC after LDLT. In preoperative Milan criteria met-patients, 5-year overall survival following LDLT was significantly better than that after hepatic resection plus MCT. Incidentally found hepatocellular carcinoma had higher tendency of well differentiated tumor in the explant liver after LDLT. CONCLUSIONS In preoperative Milan criteria met-cirrhotic patients with Child-Pugh class B, LDLT was associated with longer disease-free and overall survival than hepatic resection plus MCN. LDLT could not be indicated in the patients with DCP level of more 300 mAU/mL.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the associations between dietary intake of polyphenols and colorectal cancer.
METHODS: The study subjects were derived from the Fukuoka colorectal cancer study, a community-based case-control study. The study subjects were 816 cases of colorectal cancer and 815 community-based controls. The consumption of 148 food items was assessed by a computer-assisted interview. We used the consumption of 97 food items to estimate dietary intakes of total, tea and coffee polyphenols. The Phenol-Explorer database was used for 92 food items. Of the 5 foods which were not listed in the Phenol-Explorer Database, polyphenol contents of 3 foods (sweet potatoes, satoimo and daikon) were based on a Japanese study and 2 foods (soybeans and fried potatoes) were estimated by ORAC-based polyphenol contents in the United States Department of Agriculture Database. Odds ratios (OR) and 95%CI of colorectal cancer risk according to quintile categories of intake were obtained by using logistic regression models with adjustment for age, sex, residential area, parental history of colorectal cancer, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index 10 years before, type of job, leisure-time physical activity and dietary intakes of calcium and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
RESULTS: There was no measurable difference in total or tea polyphenol intake between cases and controls, but intake of coffee polyphenols was lower in cases than in controls. The multivariate-adjusted OR of colorectal cancer according to quintile categories of coffee polyphenols (from the first to top quintile) were 1.00 (referent), 0.81 (95%CI: 0.60-1.10), 0.65 (95%CI: 0.47-0.89), 0.65 (95%CI: 0.46-0.89) and 0.82 (95%CI: 0.60-1.10), respectively (Ptrend = 0.07). Similar, but less pronounced, decreases in the OR were also noted for the third and fourth quintiles of total polyphenol intake. Tea polyphenols and non-coffee polyphenols showed no association with colorectal cancer risk. The site-specific analysis, based on 463 colon cancer cases and 340 rectal cancer cases, showed an inverse association between coffee polyphenols and colon cancer. The multivariate-adjusted OR of colon cancer for the first to top quintiles of coffee polyphenols were 1.00 (referent), 0.92 (95%CI: 0.64-1.31), 0.75 (95%CI: 0.52-1.08), 0.69 (95%CI: 0.47-1.01), and 0.68 (95%CI: 0.46-1.00), respectively (Ptrend = 0.02). Distal colon cancer showed a more evident inverse association with coffee polyphenols than proximal colon cancer. The association between coffee polyphenols and rectal cancer risk was U-shaped, with significant decreases in the OR at the second to fourth quintile categories. There was also a tendency that the OR of colon and rectal cancer decreased in the intermediate categories of total polyphenols. The decrease in the OR in the intermediate categories of total polyphenols was most pronounced for distal colon cancer. Intake of tea polyphenols was not associated with either colon or rectal cancer. The associations of coffee consumption with colorectal, colon and rectal cancers were almost the same as observed for coffee polyphenols. The trend of the association between coffee consumption and colorectal cancer was statistically significant.
CONCLUSION: The present findings suggest a decreased risk of colorectal cancer associated with coffee consumption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The transition of emergency departments and the current situation of emergency medicine (EM) in Fukuoka City Hospital (FCH) were reviewed. METHODS The data concerning emergency medicine, such as the transition of intra-hospital emergency systems, were obtained from annual reports published in our hospital. Additionally, the data regarding educational programs for emergency room staff, the number of patients taken to the emergency room by ambulances, the activities regarding the Fukuoka Medical Rally (FMR) and the disaster relief team (DRT) were also reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS Departments of neurology, neurosurgery, emergency, and cardiology were opened sequentially, starting in 2003, with an establishment of facilities of an emergency room (ER), intensive care unit (ICU), stroke care unit (SCU), and coronary care unit (CCU). Regarding educational programs, lectures and demonstrations on basic and advanced life support techniques were given to all staff annually starting in 2004, and resident doctors completed rotations in the ER and the ICU for three months. FCH staff consistently obtained excellent results at the FMR. Ambulance crews attended lectures and received training on EM and intra-tracheal intubation. The numbers of patients taken by ambulance to FCH increased from 129 in 2002 to 2,316 in 2011. The DRT was dispatched to respond to disasters that occurred in Japan. CONCLUSIONS As a secondary emergency hospital, FCH has developed a system to accept emergency patients. This project will contribute to the improvement of the EM system in the area.

Abstract
Porcine hepatocytes are used in the hybrid artificial liver support system that we are developing because of their high level of liver functions in vitro and because human hepatocytes can not be used in Japan for ethical reasons. Spherical multicellular aggregates or spheroids have been found to be effective in vitro for long-term maintenance of liver functions. Therefore, we formed spherical multicellular aggregates (spheroids) of primary porcine hepatocytes using a polyurethane foam (PUF) as a culture substratum and analyzed their drug metabolic functions in vitro. Primary porcine hepatocytes inoculated into the pores of a flat PUF plate (25 x 25 x 1 mm), spontaneously formed spheroids within the range of 100 to 150 mum in diameter 24 to 36 h after inoculation. The formed spheroids were attached to the bottom surface of the PUF pores, and their morphology and viability were maintained for more than 12 days. The P-450 activity in the spheroids of porcine hepatocytes was demonstrated by detecting production of monoethylglycinexylidide from lidocaine. In addition, the conjugation enzyme activity was demonstrated by detecting glucuronidation and sulfation of acetaminophen. These activities were maintained for 12 days at a level twice as high as in the monolayer culture. This result shows that the porcine hepatocyte spheroids formed by using PUF can maintain the drug metabolic functions important in a hybrid artificial liver device. Consequently, culturing porcine hepatocyte spheroids using PUF seems to be promising for development of a hybrid artificial liver.

Abstract
A-89-year-old male patient who complained dry cough was detected lung mass of 3 cm size in diameter at the right upper lobe by CT. FDG-PET seemed to show hilar and mediastinum lymph nodes metastasis. After three weeks, the mass showed rapid growth with 5 cm diameter in size at CT. Therefore the original tumor was supposed to be undifferentiated carcinoma, above all, pleomorphic carcinoma. He had been done pulmonary resection after short period. The right upper lobectomy with combined resection of the partial middle lobe was performed. Hilar and mediastinum lymph nodes dissection was added. In pathological examination, the tumor was proved pleomorphic carcinoma, however, no lymph node metastasis was recognized. He did not refer any complications and discharged back home at the post-operative 11th day. Pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung is known to be difficult to obtain definite diagnosis in early stage because of rapid growth. Therefore many cases are detected in advanced stage. In addition, chemotherapy is generally not effective, so only operative resection seems to be useful. Our patient was 89-year-old, he tolerated the operation and was alive with no trouble during 6 months after resection. When complete resection seems to be possible, operation should be regarded as an initial treatment.

Abstract
Estrogen receptor (ER)-β signaling has generally been implicated in protection against colorectal cancer. The ER-β gene cytosine-adenine (ESR2 CA) repeat polymorphism was reported to be associated with colorectal cancer, although showing contradicting results probably caused by ethnicity or age distribution of the subjects. We investigated the association between this polymorphism and the colorectal cancer risk in a community-based case-control study in Japan (685 cases/778 controls), including only subjects younger than 75. The effect modifications of the body mass index (BMI) and isoflavone intake were also examined. ESR2 CA repeat polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction using fluorescein-labeled primers. CA repeat alleles were classified into short (S) allele (<22 repeats) and long (L) allele (≥ 22 repeats). Subjects were divided into three genotype groups (SS/SL/LL). The risk of colon cancer, but not of rectal cancer, was increased with an increasing number of L alleles among postmenopausal women; age-adjusted odds ratio (OR) for SL and LL genotypes compared with the SS genotype were 1.78 and 2.91, respectively (trend p = 0.002). Increased risks of colon cancer associated with the L allele were more evident among postmenopausal women with low BMI (<25 kg m(-2)) or with high isoflavone intake. Such associations were not observed among men or premenopausal women. Having longer ESR2 CA repeat increases colon cancer risk among postmenopausal women younger than 75, possibly with modification of BMI and isoflavone intake. Aging and estrogenic condition may be important in the colon cancer pathogenesis associated with ESR2 CA repeat polymorphism.
