Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard treatment for advanced esophageal cancer with synchronous distant metastasis is systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Conversion surgery is not established for esophageal cancer with synchronous distant metastasis. This study aimed to investigate the clinical impact of conversion surgery for esophageal cancer with synchronous distant metastasis after induction therapy. METHODS This multi-institutional retrospective study enrolled 66 patients with advanced esophageal cancer, including synchronous distant metastasis, who underwent induction chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy followed by conversion surgery between 2005 and 2021. Short- and long-term outcomes were investigated. RESULTS Distant lymph node (LN) metastasis occurred in 51 patients (77%). Distant organ metastasis occurred in 15 (23%) patients. There were 41 patients with metastatic para-aortic LNs, and 10 patients with other metastatic LNs. Organs with distant metastasis included the lung in seven patients, liver in seven patients, and liver and lung in one patient. For 61 patients (92%), R0 resection was achieved. The postoperative complication rate was 47%. The in-hospital mortality rate was 1%, and the 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for all the patients were 32.4% and 24.4%, respectively. The OS rates were similar between the patients with distant LN metastasis and the patients with distant organ metastasis (3-year OS: 34.9% vs. 26.7%; P = 0.435). Multivariate analysis showed that pathologic nodal status is independently associated with a poor prognosis (hazard ratio, 2.43; P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Conversion surgery after chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer with synchronous distant metastasis is feasible and promising. It might be effective for improving the long-term prognosis for patients with controlled nodal status.

Abstract
Lymphoepithelial cyst(LEC)of the pancreas is a relatively rare benign cystic disease of the pancreas. In this report, we describe a case of LEC in which a malignant tumor could not be ruled out by preoperative diagnosis and surgery was performed. The patient was a 72-year-old man. A simple CT scan of the chest and abdomen performed as a follow-up for another disease incidentally revealed a mass in the pancreatic tail. Enhanced CT of the abdomen showed a tumor approximately 3 cm in size at the pancreatic tail with no contrast effect. MRCP showed moderate signal on T2WI, high signal on T1WI, and high signal on T2WI on some cysts inside the pancreas. PET-CT showed slight uptake of FDG. Both tumor markers CEA and CA19-9 were normal. Therefore, malignant disease such as pancreatic IPMC could not be ruled out, and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy was performed. The pathology results showed a diagnosis of pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst with slight differentiation into sebaceous gland.

Abstract
A 76-year-old male patient underwent a distal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. As the postoperative serum CA19-9 level was elevated, chemotherapy was initiated. Computed tomography(CT)detected a solitary peritoneal recurrence in the left subhepatic space 17 months later. Consequently, chemoradiotherapy(CRT)at a total dose of 60 Gy, combined with S-1 therapy, was administered for local tumor control. After CRT, CT scans revealed a remarkable reduction in the peritoneal recurrence. Presently, 8 months after CRT, the patient remains alive with no indications of regrowth. CRT could prove efficacious as a treatment for gastric cancer patients with localized peritoneal recurrences.

Abstract
A 77-year-old female patient presented with a medical history of 4 cancerous lesions, each with a surgical history. She was referred to our hospital due to anemia. Upon examination, she was diagnosed with transverse colon cancer. Duodenal invasion was suspected, which made performing R0 surgery difficult; therefore, the NAC approach was chosen. Three courses of CAPOX were administered, resulting in tumor obstruction, leading to the formation of an ileum stoma. MSI testing revealed MSI-H, and pembrolizumab treatment was initiated. CT scans showed tumor shrinkage, and PET scans indicated no accumulation, resulting in a cCR. Colon resection including the lesion suspected of stenosis was performed with a strong desire for stoma closure and the determination of potential curative resection. Additionally, a partial resection of the duodenum was performed. Pathological examination did not reveal any evident tumor cells, leading to the determination for a pCR. The patient has been under postoperative surveillance for 1 year without any recurrence.

Abstract
Objectives The current retrospective study aimed to evaluate the association between combined preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, which is correlated with prognosis in different types of malignancies, and prognosis after curative resection in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods This study enrolled 263 patients who underwent curative resection for stage II/III colorectal cancer. C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio was calculated within 30 days before and 7 days after surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to determine the optimal cutoff values of preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio. The correlations between combined preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio and prognosis were analyzed. Results The cutoff values of preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio were 0.223 and 0.813, respectively; higher ratios were significantly associated with poor overall survival, based on the Kaplan-Meier curves (p < 0.001, p = 0.003, respectively). Further, preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratios were correlated with poor progression-free survival (p < 0.001, p = 0.064, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, combined preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio was an independent predictor of overall survival and progression-free survival (p = 0.012, p = 0.044, respectively). Compared with low preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, high ratios of that were significantly associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio = 3.897, p = 0.006) and progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 2.130, p = 0.029). Conclusions Combined preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, useful for prognostic prediction, can be a promising prognostic marker after curative resection in patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-course neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery has become a standard of care for locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC). However, some patients occasionally experience a poor tumor response to the third course and have a poor clinical outcome. METHODS An exploratory analysis of data from the authors' recent multicenter randomized phase 2 trial compared patients with locally advanced EC who received two courses (n = 78) and those who received three courses (n = 68) of NAC. The association between tumor response and clinico-pathologic factors, including survival, was evaluated to identify risk factors in the three-course group. RESULTS Of 68 patients who received three courses of NAC, 28 (41.2%) had a tumor reduction rate lower than 10% during the third course. This rate was associated with unfavorable overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared with a tumor reduction rate of 10% or higher (2-year OS rate: 63.5% vs. 89.3%, P = 0.007; 2-year PFS rate: 52.6% vs. 79.7%, P = 0.020). The independent prognostic factors for OS were tumor reduction rate lower than 10% during the third course (hazard ratio [HR], 2.735; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.041-7.188; P = 0.041) and age of 65 years or older (HR, 9.557, 95% CI 1.240-73.63; P = 0.030). Receiver operating characteristic curve and multivariable logistic regression analyses identified a tumor reduction rate lower than 50% after the first two courses as an independent predictor of a tumor reduction rate lower than 10% during the third course of NAC (HR, 4.315; 95% CI 1.329-14.02; P = 0.015). CONCLUSION Continuing NAC through a third course may worsen survival for patients who do not experience a response to the first two courses in locally advanced EC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pretreatment metastatic lymph node (LN) size has been reported to be associated with prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, its relationship with response to preoperative chemotherapy or prognosis has not been clarified. We investigated the relationship between metastatic LN size and response to preoperative treatment, and prognosis in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer who underwent surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 212 clinically node-positive patients who underwent preoperative chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy for ESCC were enrolled. Patients were stratified into three groups on the basis of the length of the short axis of the largest LN in pretreatment computed tomography images: < 10 mm (group A), 10-19 mm (group B), and ≥ 20 mm (group C). RESULTS Group A had 90 patients (42%), group B had 103 patients (49%), and group C had 19 patients (9%). Group C had significantly lower percent reduction in total metastatic LN size than groups A and B (22.5% versus 35.7%, P = 0.037). Group C had significantly more metastatic LNs based on histological examination than groups A and B (10.1 versus 2.4, P < 0.001). Group C patients whose LNs responded had significantly fewer metastatic LNs than nonresponders (5.1 versus 11.9, P = 0.042). Group C had significantly poorer overall survival than groups A and B (3-year survival, 25.4% versus 67.3%, P < 0.001). However, group C patients whose LNs responded had better survival than nonresponders (3-year survival, 57.1% versus 0%, P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Patients with large metastatic LNs have poor response and poor prognosis. However, if a response is obtained, long-term survival can be expected.

Abstract
Introduction. Our synbiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota, Bifidobacterium breve strain Yakult, and galacto-oligosaccharides: LBG) helps mitigate serious adverse events such as febrile neutropenia (FN) and diarrhoea in oesophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Unfortunately, LBG therapy does not benefit all patients.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Identification of the gut microbiota species involved in adverse events during chemotherapy could help predict the onset of adverse events. Identification of the gut microbiota that influence the efficacy of LBG could also help establish a diagnostic method to identify patients who will respond to LBG before the initiation of therapy.Aim. To identify the gut microbiota involved in adverse events during NAC and that affect the efficacy of LBG therapy.Methodology. This study was ancillary to a parent randomized controlled trial in which 81 oesophageal cancer patients were recruited and administered either prophylactic antibiotics or LBG combined with enteral nutrition (LBG+EN). The study included 73 of 81 patients from whom faecal samples were collected both before and after NAC. The gut microbiota was analysed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and compared based on the degree of NAC-associated adverse events. Furthermore, the association between the counts of identified bacteria and adverse events and the mitigation effect of LBG+EN was also analysed.Results. The abundance of Anaerostipes hadrus and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum in patients with no FN or only mild diarrhoea was significantly higher (P<0.05) compared to those with FN or severe diarrhoea. Moreover, subgroup analyses of patients receiving LBG+EN showed that the faecal A. hadrus count before NAC was significantly associated with a risk of developing FN (OR, 0.11; 95 % CI, 0.01-0.60, P=0.019). The faecal A. hadrus count after NAC was positively correlated with intestinal concentrations of acetic acid (P=0.0007) and butyric acid (P=0.00005).Conclusion. Anaerostipes hadrus and B. pseudocatenulatum may be involved in the ameliorating adverse events and can thus be used to identify beforehand patients that would benefit from LBG+EN during NAC. These results also suggest that LBG+EN would be useful in the development of measures to prevent adverse events during NAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the long-term results as primary endpoint in a multicentre randomized prospective Phase 2 trial which compared chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and triplet chemotherapy (CT) as the initial therapy for conversion surgery (CS) in T4b esophageal cancer (EC). METHODS Patients with T4b EC were randomly assigned to the CRT group or CT group as initial treatment. CS was performed if resectable after initial or secondary treatment. The primary endpoint was 2-year overall survival, analysed by intention-to-treat. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 43.8 months. The 2-year survival rate was higher in the CRT group (55.1%; 95% CI: 41.1-68.3%) compared to the CT group (34.7%; 95% CI: 22.8-48.9%), although the difference was not significant (P = 0.11). Local and regional lymph node recurrence in patients undergoing R0 resection was significantly higher in the CT group compared to the CRT group (local: 30% versus 8%, respectively, P = 0.03; regional: 37% versus 8%, respectively, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Upfront CT was not superior to upfront CRT as induction therapy for T4b EC in terms of 2-year survival and was significantly inferior to upfront CRT in terms of local and regional control.

Abstract
A 69-year-old man who was diagnosed with a submucosal tumor in the ascending colon by colonoscopy in X-7 year was presented. The endoscopic biopsy showed normal mucosa, and he had been followed up. During follow-up, computed tomography and colonoscopy performed in X year showed an enlargement of the tumor. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed intense FDG uptake. Malignant tumor was suspected, and laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis showed spindle-shaped tumor cells proliferating in a fascicular manner. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for S-100 protein and negative for CD34, c-kit, and desmin, and schwannoma was diagnosed. Schwannomas are tumors derived from Schwann cells and therefore rarely develop in the gastrointestinal tract. Careful preoperative diagnosis is important because they do not normally metastasize or undergo malignant transformation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancers. During neoadjuvant therapy, tumor-induced esophageal stenosis or adverse events often cause weight loss. However, little is known about the effects of weight loss during neoadjuvant therapy on postoperative complications or prognosis. We investigated the association between weight loss during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, postoperative infectious complications, and prognosis. METHODS Data from OGSG1003, a randomized phase-II trial comparing two regimens of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, cisplatin and fluorouracil plus Adriamycin and cisplatin and fluorouracil plus docetaxel, for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were used. Body weight was measured before neoadjuvant chemotherapy and esophagectomy. Multivariate analysis for infectious complications and prognosis was performed. RESULTS The study included 134 patients. The median weight loss during neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 2.83% (-2.07% to 6.29%). Postoperative infectious complications were observed in 37 patients who had a significantly higher weight loss during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (5.18% vs. 1.90%, P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that > 5% of weight loss during neoadjuvant chemotherapy was the only independent factor associated with postoperative infectious complications (odds ratio 2.69, 95% confidence interval 1.12-6.46, P = 0.027). Weight loss during neoadjuvant chemotherapy was significantly associated with worse recurrence-free survival in the univariate analysis (log-rank test, P = 0.002), but this association was marginal in the multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 1.73, 95% confidence interval 0.98-3.08, P = 0.058). CONCLUSIONS Severe weight loss during neoadjuvant chemotherapy was an independent risk factor for postoperative infectious complications. Weight maintenance during neoadjuvant chemotherapy may reduce the incidence of postoperative infectious complications.

Abstract
A 55-year-old male revealed with a 5 cm-diameter mass in the lower abdomen on ultrasonography incidentally. Computed tomography showed a mass of 7 cm in size on the left side of the bladder. A malignant tumor was suspected, and surgically excised for purpose of diagnosis and treatment. Pathological examination confirmed retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma, and the resection margins were negative. Follow-up computed tomography scan was performed every 3 months. Repeated resections were performed for twice recurrences within a year after surgery. A year after the first surgery, lung metastasis was detected and chemotherapy was started. Although retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is considered to have a poor prognosis, the present case had relatively good prognosis. This may be due to early detection and repeated surgical resection.

Abstract
Abstract
The anastomotic technique after esophagectomy is of great interest in the prevention of anastomotic complications that adversely affect postoperative recovery. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Collard (MC) and circular stapled (CS) anastomoses after esophagectomy. A total of 504 consecutive patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy and cervical esophagogastric CS or MC anastomosis from January 2013 to December 2019 were enrolled. Out of 504 patients, 134 and 370 underwent CS and MC anastomoses. The frequency of anastomotic leakage and stricture was significantly lesser in the MC group than in the CS group (3.0 vs. 10.5%, P = 0.0014 and 11.1 vs. 34.3%, P < 0.001, respectively). CS anastomosis was an independent risk factor for anastomotic stricture (odds ratio, 4.89; P < 0.001). Oral intake was significantly higher in the group without anastomotic stricture than in the group with anastomotic stricture at 2, 3, and 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.001, P = 0.013, and P < 0.001, respectively). The percentage body weight loss (%BWL) was −12.2% in the group with anastomotic stricture and −7.5% in the group without anastomotic stricture at 3 months postoperatively (P = 0.0012). Anastomotic stricture was an independent factor associated with %BWL (odds ratio, 4.86; P = 0.010). Propensity score-matched analysis, which included 88 pairs of patients, confirmed a significantly lower anastomotic stricture rate in the MC group than in the CS group (10.2 vs. 35.2%, P < 0.001). MC anastomosis is better than CS anastomosis for reducing the frequency of anastomotic stricture, which may be useful for maintaining early postoperative nutritional status.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Systemic inflammation resulting from comorbidities is postulated to play a central role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Lymphopenia is a common manifestation of systemic inflammation and a prognostic factor in patients with HF. However, the association of lymphopenia with the comorbidity burden is unknown, and its prognostic value in patients with HFpEF admitted due to acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) also remains elusive.
Purpose
We sought to clarify the relation of lymphopenia with the comorbidity burden, as well as its prognostic value and complementarity with the Get with the Guidelines-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk score in ADHF patients with HFpEF.
Methods
Patients' data were extracted from the Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT-HFpEF), which is a prospective multicentre registry for patients with ADHF with a LVEF ≥50%. We analysed data of patients admitted between June 2016 and December 2020 who survived to discharge. The total lymphocyte count (per μL) and GWTG-HF risk score were obtained on admission, as previously reported. Comorbidity burden was defined as the number of comorbidities from the following: atrial fibrillation, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anaemia, and obesity. The study endpoint was all-cause death.
Results
Over a median follow-up of 417 days, 181 of the 1013 included patients died. The proportion of patients with a total lymphocyte count in the lowest tertile was increasing with the increase in comorbidity burden (Figure 1). In the multivariate Cox analysis, a total lymphocyte count in the intermediate (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00–2.41, p=0.0486) and lowest tertile (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.47–3.38, p=0.0002) was independently associated with all-cause death. There was a significant difference in the all-cause death rate among the groups stratified by total lymphocyte count tertile (Figure 2). The total lymphocyte count had a higher C-statistic value (0.627) for the prediction of all-cause death than the GWTG-HF risk score, and the C-statistic value of the GWTG-HF risk score was improved when the total lymphocyte count was added (0.613 to 0.636, p=0.0260).
Conclusions
Lymphopenia was significantly associated with comorbidity burden. Furthermore, it was a useful marker of poor prognosis in hospitalised patients with acute HFpEF and was shown to be complementary to the contemporary HF prognostic score.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a chronic and progressive disease, but limited therapeutic strategies are currently available. Although left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a prominent mechanism of HFpEF, a certain number of patients with HFpEF have a normal diastolic function (ND) or indeterminate diastolic function (ID). With the progressive nature of HFpEF, diastolic function may change over time. However, the change of diastolic function, its predictor and prognosis in patients with clinically established HFpEF remains unknown.
Purpose
To investigate the clinical trajectory and outcomes of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID and to identify factors associated with progression from ND or ID at discharge to DD at 1-year follow-up.
Methods
Using data from a prospective multicenter observational study of patients with HFpEF, we extracted 289 patients with HFpEF with ND or ID at discharge who had echocardiographic data at 1-year follow-up for the re-evaluation of diastolic function. Diastolic function was assessed according to the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography recommendations. Patients were classified according to the absence or presence of progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and HF rehospitalization.
Results
Median age was 81 years, and 138 (47.8%) patients were female. At 1 year, 107 (37%) patients progressed to DD. During a median follow-up of 709 days, the composite endpoint occurred in 90 (31.1%) patients. Compared to patients without progression to DD, those with progression to DD had a significantly higher cumulative incidence rate of the composite endpoint (incidence rate: 11.7/100 person-year versus 23.3/100 person-year, P<0.001). Progression to DD (adjusted HR: 2.014, 95% CI: 1.239–3.273, P=0.005) was independently associated with the composite endpoint. Age (adjusted OR: 1.046, 95% CI: 1.008–1.087, P=0.018), body mass index (BMI) (adjusted OR: 1.107, 95% CI: 1.029–1.192, P=0.006), and serum albumin (adjusted OR: 0.459, 95% CI: 0.216–0.974, P=0.042) were independently associated with progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year.
Conclusion
More than one-third of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID progressed to DD at 1 year and had poor clinical outcomes. Age, BMI, and serum albumin were independently associated with this progression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) has not been demonstrated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We recently reported significant interaction between the use of ACE-I and/or ARB (ACE-I/ARB) and frailty on prognosis in patients with HFpEF.
Purpose
In the present study, we examined the association between ACE-I/ARB and prognosis in patients with HFpEF stratified by the presence or absence of frailty.
Methods
We examined the association between the use of ACE-I/ARB and prognosis according to the presence (Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) ≥5) or absence (CFS ≤4) of frailty in patients with HFpEF in a post-hoc analysis of registry data. Primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure admission. Secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and heart failure admission.
Results
Of 1059 patients, median age was 83 years and 45% were male. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of composite endpoint (log-rank P=0.001) and all-cause death (log-rank P=0.005) in patients with ACE-I/ARB was lower in those with CFS ≥5, but similar between patients with and without ACE-I/ARB in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: log-rank P=0.830; all-cause death: log-rank P=0.192). In a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, use of ACE-I/ARB was significantly associated with lower risk of the composite endpoint (hazard ratio = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.33–0.83, P=0.005) and heart failure admission (hazard ratio = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.25–0.83, P=0.010) in patients with CFS ≥5, but not in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: hazard ratio = 1.41, 95% CI: 0.99–2.02, P=0.059; heart failure admission: hazard ratio = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.94–2.18, P=0.091). The association between ACE-I or ARB and prognosis did not significantly differ by CFS (CFS ≤4: log-rank P=0.562; CFS ≥5: log-rank P=0.100, for with ACE-I vs. ARB, respectively). Adjusted HRs for CFS 1–4 were higher than 1.0, but were less than 1.0 at CFS 5.
Conclusions
In patients with HFpEF, use of ACE-I/ARB was associated with better prognosis in patients with frailty as assessed with the CFS, but not in those without frailty.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Improvement of quality of life (QOL) is one of the most important therapeutic goals for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is, therefore, clinically relevant to comprehensively identify aggravating factors among cardiac factors, non-cardiac comorbidities, and social factors. The aim of this study was to elucidate determinant factors of impaired QOL and clarify the association between QOL and prognosis in patients with HFpEF.
Methods and results
Patient data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. EuroQol 5 dimensions 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) data were obtained at discharge to evaluate patients' health-related QOL. A total of 864 patients were enrolled in this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that only non-cardiac factors such as age, female sex, frailty, malnutrition and inflammation were significantly associated with low EQ-5D-5L score, whereas cardiac factors showed no significant association after multivariable adjustment. A total of 206 patients died over a mean follow-up period of 2.0±1.2 years. Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis demonstrated a significant increase in risk of mortality stratified by tertiles of EQ-5D-5L score (p<0.0001). Cox multivariable analysis revealed that patients with low EQ-5D-5L score had a significantly greater risk of mortality than those with high EQ-5D-5L score (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.20 (1.40–3.45), p=0.001).
Conclusion
Among patients with HFpEF, non-cardiac factors such as age, female sex, frailty, malnutrition and inflammation are significantly associated with impaired QOL. The QOL score itself also offers useful prognostic information in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are several reports showing that elevated heart rate (HR) is associated with poor outcomes in patients in sinus rhythm (SR) with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), although the association is weak or none in HFpEF patients with atrial fibrillation (Af). However, in previous studies, cardiac and non-cardiac factors which may be associated with elevated HR, have not been fully adjusted for.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore covariates of elevated HR and to investigate the relationship between heart rate and mortality in HFpEF patients in SR.
Methods and results
Of the 1161 patients, who registered prospective multicenter, observational study of patients with HFpEF (PURSUIT-HFpEF), 726 patients in SR were examined. We performed laboratory testing and echocardiography in the compensated stage (in stable condition after treatment of acute decompensated HF). Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) was calculated as nutrition index. Resting heart rate (HR) was analyzed as categorical (tertiles, T1–3). We followed the patients for median of 598 days (interquartile range 329–1028 days) to observe the outcome all-cause mortality.
The Kaplan analysis revealed that there was a significant difference between heart rate and mortality (log-rank, p=0.001). Characteristics were compared between patients in T1 (HR ≤63) and T3 (HR ≥75). There were no differences in cardiac factors between patients in T1 and T3. C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher in patients in T3 than those in T1 (p=0.0004,). GNRI was significantly lower in patients in T3 than those in T1 (p=0.001). After adjustment for covariates including N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide and estimated glomerular filtration rate, CRP and GNRI significantly correlated with HR (continuous variable) by multiple regression analysis (beta-coefficient = 1.52, p=0.003 and beta-coefficient = −0.14, p=0.04, respectively). Taking T1 as the reference, multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that T3 was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio: 2.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.33–3.32, p=0.001).
Conclusion
Although elevated HR was associated with enhanced inflammation and malnutrition, it itself was an independent predictor of death in HFpEF patients in SR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition and inflammation are associated with poor outcomes with heart failure (HF). It has been reported that advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), calculated by body mass index × serum albumin level / neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be useful for the risk stratification and predicting the post-discharge prognosis of the patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of the serial ALI change in ADHF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods and results
Patients' data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study, which is a prospective multicenter observational registry for ADHF-HFpEF in Osaka. Laboratory data and body weight measurements were performed at the discharge and 1 year after the discharge. We analyzed 527 patients after exclusion of patients on dialysis, in-hospital death, missing follow-up data, or missing data to calculate ALI. The study patients were categorized by the serial change from baseline to 1 year after the discharge (ΔALI) as follows: low tertile: ΔALI <−6.99 (n=176), middle tertile: −6.99 ≤ ALI <8.44 (n=176), and high tertile: 8.44 ≤ ΔALI (n=175). The endpoints of the present study were all-cause death (ACD) and cardiovascular death (CVD). During a mean follow-up period of 1.5±1.0 years, 94 patients had ACD and 40 patients had CVD. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the patients with middle and low ΔALI at 1 year after heart failure hospitalization had a significantly greater risk of reaching the ACD and CVD than those with high ΔALI (ACD: 22% vs 22% vs 10%, p=0.0011, CVD: 10% vs 9% vs 3%, p=0.014). On multivariate Cox analysis, ΔALI was significantly associated with ACD independently of age, gender, serum NT-proBNP level, and baseline ALI after adjustment for NYHA functional class, serum creatinine level, serum hemoglobin level, serum CRP level, serum sodium level and LVEF.
Conclusion
This study showed that patients with the increased ALI after the discharge had improved outcome in comparison to those without the increased ALI. The serial change of ALI, a systemic inflammation-nutrition index, might be useful for stratifying ADHF patients with HFpEF at risk for the total mortality and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) is considered the standard surgery for esophageal cancer because of its superiority over open esophagectomy (OE) in terms of short-term outcomes. However, few prospective multicenter studies have evaluated its long-term survival after TE. This study aimed to investigate whether the prognosis for patients with T1bN0M0 esophageal cancer after TE is not inferior to OE using data from the Japan Clinical Oncology Group Study (JCOG0502), a prospective multicenter trial comparing esophagectomy with chemoradiotherapy. METHODS Data of patients in JCOG0502 after esophagectomy were used to compare the overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) after OE versus TE. OE or TE was selected at the surgeon's discretion. A hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated via Cox proportional-hazards model. RESULTS Of the 210 patients who underwent esophagectomy, 109 underwent OE, whereas 101 underwent TE. The 5-year OS was 88.9% after OE and 85.0% after TE. The hazard ratio of TE for OS was 1.53 (95% CI, 0.84-2.78; p = 0.16) and 1.10 (95% CI, 0.52-2.35; p = 0.80) in the univariable and multivariable analyses, respectively. The 5-year RFS was 85.3% after OE and 79.1% after TE. The hazard ratio of TE for RFS was 1.39 (95% CI, 0.81-2.38; p = 0.23) and 0.88 (95% CI, 0.44-1.74; p = 0.70) in the univariable and multivariable analyses, respectively. CONCLUSION The prognosis for patients with T1bN0M0 esophageal cancer after TE was not inferior to OE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Outcomes of salvage surgery after failed definitive chemoradiation (CRT) for esophageal cancer have been well defined. However, only a few studies have focused on salvage esophagectomy for recurrent disease after CRT. METHODS In 227 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent salvage esophagectomy after definitive CRT, consisting of 116 patients who underwent esophagectomy for persistent disease (the persistent group) and 111 patients who underwent esophagectomy for recurrent disease (the recurrent group), the short- and long-term outcomes were investigated. RESULTS The rates of any postoperative complication were similar between the groups (49.1% in the persistent group vs. 49.5% in the recurrent group, p = 0.951), although there was a higher rate of anastomotic leakage in the recurrent group (p = 0.027). Thirty-day mortality was also similar between the groups (1.7% in the persistent group vs. 0.9% in the recurrent group, p = 0.587). The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 33.7% and 28.0% in the persistent group and 48.7% and 41.7% in the recurrent group, respectively (p = 0.0175). In the recurrent group, clinically nodal status before CRT as well as pathologically nodal status and time to relapse were identified as independent prognostic factors. In the persistent group, pT and resection margin were identified as independent factors associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that salvage surgery for recurrent disease can provide acceptable short- and long-term outcomes. Considering clinically and pathologically nodal status and time to relapse, adjuvant therapy might be offered for patients who underwent salvage esophagectomy for recurrent disease after definitive CRT.

Abstract
Aim Dysphagia is one of the most common complications after esophagectomy. However, no study has investigated the long‐term postoperative outcomes in patients with postoperative dysphagia. Here, we aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative dysphagia and to investigate long‐term postoperative outcomes in such patients. Methods This study included 304 consecutive patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent curative esophagectomy. They were diagnosed with postoperative dysphagia through a contrast videofluoroscopic swallowing study, and postoperative outcomes were compared based on swallowing function. Results In total, 112 patients (37%) were diagnosed with postoperative dysphagia. Older age, low BMI, and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative dysphagia. In the dysphagia group, a significantly larger number of patients developed in‐hospital pneumonia, and hospital stays were also significantly extended. After discharge, 37 (33%) patients with postoperative dysphagia developed pneumonia. Even more than 1 year after esophagectomy, a significantly larger number of patients (24 patients, 21%) with postoperative dysphagia developed pneumonia compared to those without postoperative dysphagia. Postoperative dysphagia was identified as an independent risk factor for out‐of‐hospital pneumonia. Regarding nutritional status, there was no difference in weight loss 1 year after esophagectomy, but significant weight loss was observed 2 years after esophagectomy in the dysphagia group. Conclusion Postoperative dysphagia was associated with both preoperative patient factors and surgical factors. Moreover, patients with postoperative dysphagia had long‐term and short‐term pneumonia risk. The personalization of long‐term follow‐up through more aggressive rehabilitation and nutritional guidance is required for patients with postoperative dysphagia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are still at a high risk of developing second primary malignancies (SPMs) after definitive therapies. We evaluated the development of SPMs and explored its risk factors in patients with clinical T1bN0 ESCC. METHODS JCOG0502 prospectively compared esophagectomy with definitive chemo-radiotherapy for clinical T1bN0 ESCC. Here, we reviewed all JCOG0502 patients' data for SPMs and investigated the risk factors for SPMs using uni-variable and multivariable analyses by Fine and Gray model. RESULTS Among 379 enrolled patients, 213 underwent esophagectomy and 166 received chemo-radiotherapy. Patient characteristics were male (85%); median age [63 (range 41-75) years; location of the primary tumor (upper/middle/lower thoracic esophagus, 11%/63%/27%, respectively]; alcohol consumption history (79%); smoking history (66%); prevalence of no/several/many/unknown Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) (45%/36%/8%/11%, respectively). In a median follow-up of 7.1 years, 118 SPMs occurred in 99 (26%) patients. Cumulative incidences of SPMs after 3, 5, and 10 years were 9%, 15%, and 36%, respectively. The most common primary tumor sites were the head and neck (35%), stomach (20%) and lungs (14%). In multivariable analyses, compared to no LVLs, several LVLs [hazard ratio (HR) 2.24, 95% confidential interval (CI) 1.32-3.81] and many LVLs (HR 2.88, 95% CI 1.27-6.52) were significantly associated with the development of SPMs. Sixteen patients died due to the SPMs. CONCLUSION The incidence of SPMs was high. The presence of LVLs, which was a predictive factor for SPMs, may be useful for surveillance planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Surgery is the standard of care for T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), whereas chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a treatment option. This trial aimed to investigate the noninferiority of CRT relative to surgery for T1bN0M0 ESCC. METHODS Clinical T1bN0M0 ESCC patients were eligible for enrollment in this prospective nonrandomized controlled study of surgery versus CRT. The primary endpoint was overall survival, which was determined using inverse probability weighting with propensity scoring. Surgery consisted of an esophagectomy with 2- or 3-field lymph node dissection. CRT consisted of 2 courses of 5-fluorouracil (700 mg/m2) on days 1-4 and cisplatin (70 mg/m2) on day 1 every 4 weeks with concurrent radiation (60 Gy). RESULTS From December 20, 2006 to February 5, 2013, a total of 368 patients were enrolled in the nonrandomized portion of the study. The patient characteristics in surgery arm and CRT arm, respectively, were as follows: median age, 62 and 65 years; proportion of males, 82.8% and 88.1%; and proportion of performance status 0, 99.5% and 98.1%. Comparisons were made using the nonrandomized groups. The 5-year overall survival rate was 86.5% in the surgery arm and 85.5% in the CRT arm (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-1.64 [<1.78]). The complete response rate in the CRT arm was 87.3% (95% confidence interval, 81.1-92.1). The 5-year progression-free survival rate was 81.7% in the surgery arm and 71.6% in the CRT arm. Treatment-related deaths occurred in 2 patients in the surgery arm and none in the CRT arm. CONCLUSIONS CRT is noninferior to surgery and should be considered for the treatment of T1bN0M0 ESCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Clinical heterogeneity exists in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Left ventricular (LV) structure in HFPEF is characterized by normal LV cavity size and LV hypertrophy (LVH). However some of HFPEF patients do not have LV hypertrophy, and these patients may have distinct characteristics,
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinical characteristics and the prognosis for HFPEF patients without LVH.
Methods
We studied 1097 patients, who were hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure with LVEF ≥50%, and enrolled in the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry. Laboratory testing and echocardiography were examined in the compensated stage (in stable condition after treatment of acute decompensated HF). We divided these patients into 2 groups based on LV mass index (LVMI) in the compensated stage according to the American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging recommendations; patients with LVH (48%) and those without LVH (52%).
Results
Patients without LVH had significantly lower levels of C-reactive protein and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and higher levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate in the compensated stage than those with it (p<0.05 for all). Cox hazard regression analysis showed that absence of LVH was favorably associated with the primary composite endpoint of all-cause death, HF rehospitalization, and cerebrovascular events (hazard ratio 0.776, 95% confidence interval 0.620-to 0.970, p<0.05).
On the other hand, the frequency of atrial fibrillation (Af) in the decompensated stage was higher in patients without LVH than those with it (52.1% vs 39.3%, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that absence of LVH was independently associated with presence of Af in the decompensated stage (odds ratio=1.520, 95% confidence interval 1.130 to 2.050, P<0.01)
Conclusions
HFPEF patients without LVH have less organ damage and favorable prognosis. Af may play a role in the decompensation of HF in HFPEF patients without LVH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a type of primary systemic vasculitis that affects various organs, especially the lungs and kidneys. However, few reports regarding cardiac features of MPA patients were found.
Purpose
We aim to investigate the echocardiographic parameters of acute-phase MPA.
Methods and results
This single-center retrospective study included 15 patients with MPA (Mean age at 72.2±7.1 years, women 73.3%) who underwent echocardiography within two weeks of commencing steroid therapy for induction or reinduction. The echocardiography parameters of the patients were compared with those of 30 age and sex-matched controls. In the MPA group, the commonly affected organs were kidneys (93.3%) and lungs (46.7%); 5 patients (33.3%) had a history of hypertension, which had a similar frequency as the control group. No significant difference in left ventricular (LV) diameter, LV ejection fraction, e', or inferior vena cava diameter was observed between the two groups. However, the MPA group showed significantly higher left atrial (LA) diameter (p=0.033) and LA volume index (p=0.001), as well as higher early diastolic filling velocity (E-wave, p=0.015; E/A, p=0.043; E/e', p=0.041), diastolic pulmonary venous flow velocity (p=0.013), trans-tricuspid pressure gradient (p=0.019), and shorter deceleration time (p=0.038), associated with mildly thicker ventricular walls of left ventricle (LV) than the control group. Moreover, serum levels of C-reactive protein showed significant correlation between E wave (r=0.58, p=0.023), E/A (r=0.67, p=0.006), and deceleration time (r=−0.69, p=0.005) in the MPA group. These results may indicate that in MPA, increased LV stiffness, rather than impairment of LV relaxation was contributed to LV diastolic function, resulting in LA enlargement.
Conclusion
Patients with acute-phase MPA had LA dilatation associated with LV diastolic dysfunction. This finding indicates the importance of cardiac assessment in patients with MPA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is still challenging, and the H2FPEF- and the HFA-PEFF score were proposed as simple and reliable diagnostic tools. We recently reported that the HFA-PEFF score was significantly associated with the composite endpoint of all-cause death and heart failure readmission in patients with acute decompensated HFpEF (Sotomi. Eur J Heart Fail, in press).
Purpose
To investigate the relation whether the HFA-PEFF or H2FPEF score can evaluate functional capacity in patients with HFpEF
Methods
We calculated H2FPEF score and the second step of HFA-PEFF score among the registered patients in the PURSUIT-HFpEF (Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study of Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction) study, which is a multicenter registration of patients hospitalized for acute decompensated HFpEF. We performed 6 minute walk (6MW) test and measured NT-proBNP before discharge. We followed the study patients for median of 360 days (IQR 237–630 days) to observe the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; composite of death, heart failure hospitalization and stroke).
Results
We enrolled 757 patients (age 81±9 years, male gender 45%) hospitalized for acute decompensated HFpEF for the present study. The H2FPEF score was obtained in 588 (77.7%) patients and all patients had ≥2 points. The HFA-PEFF score was obtained in 615 (81.2%) patients, though global longitudinal strain was not available. We divided these patients into 3 groups based on the HFA-PEFF score (score 2 to 4, 5, and 6) or on the H2FPEF score (score 0 to 3, 4 to 5 and 6 to 8). There were a significant difference in NT-pro BNP between 3 groups based on HFA-PEFF score (p=0.01, Table 1), and patients with score 6 had significantly higher NT-proBNP than those with score 2 to 4 (p=0.02). A significant difference was observed in 6MW distance among these groups (p=0.04, Table), and those with score 6 had significantly shorter distance than those with score 2 to 4 (p=0.04). Cox proportional hazard model selected HFA-PEFF score as a significant predictor for MACE, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that classification of HFA-PEFF score significantly stratified the patients' risk for MACE. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in 6MW distance among 3 groups based on H2FPEF score (p=0.53), and H2FPEF score was not an independent predictor for MCE by the Cox model analysis. Moreover, the lowest H2PEF score group had higher NT-proBNP than other 2 groups (p=0.02)
Conclusions
The HFA-PEFF score predicted functional capacity as well as prognosis in patients hospitalized for HFpEF, while the H2PEF score did not.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis
Sterile inflammation is associated with cardiac remodeling in response to non-ischemic stress, but how it is initiated in the absence of cell death and how it is propagated are not well elucidated. We tested the hypothesis that activation of CaMKII in cardiomyocytes and macrophages in response to pressure overload initiates inflammatory responses leading to adverse cardiac remodeling.
Methods and results
Cardiomyocyte specific CaMKIIδ knockout (CKO) mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC). CaMKII and NFkB activation were significantly increased in control fl/fl (CTL) but not in CKO hearts. Cardiac mRNA levels for pro-inflammatory cytokines also increased vs sham. These responses were significantly attenuated in the CKO mice. Activated NLRP3 inflammasome was shown by elevated caspase-1 activity in isolated cardiomyocytes of CTL while attenuated in CKO. Macrophage accumulation was attenuated in the CKO and NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 treated mice. Cardiac fibrosis and subsequent cardiac dysfunction were less impaired in the CKO vs CTL (ejection fraction 43±3% vs 33±5%). Upregulated NLRP3 gene expression, elevated CaMKII and caspase-1 activity were observed in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes (NMCMs) in response to osmotic stretch. Increased caspase-1 activity was observed in macrophages cultured with media from osmotic-stretched NMCMs and it was attenuated by pretreatment of CaMKII inhibitor KN-93. Coincubation with stretched NMCMs induced inflammatory responses in isolated macrophages from wild-type mice but not in isolated macrophages from KN-93 pretreated mice.
Conclusions
Activated CaMKIIδ in response to pressure overload triggers inflammatory signals including NLRP3 inflammasome cascade in cardiomyocytes. CaMKII could also contribute amplification of inflammasome signal in macrophages leading fibrosis and consequent cardiac dysfunction. CaMKII in cardiomyocytes and macrophages could be a therapeutic target to prevent progression of non-ischemic heart failure.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is not uncommon in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Left atrial (LA) substrate remodeling and corresponding mitral valve annulus dilation has been reported as the most possible cause of FMR. Percutaneous catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for AF. Although significant FMR could be improved by sinus restoration, patients with mitral regurgitation were more likely to experience recurrent AF post ablation, especially those with significant mitral regurgitation. There is no information available on the efficacy of CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of FMR improvement by CA and to determine the efficacy of substrate and trigger CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR.
Methods
We prospectively studied 512 consecutive patients admitted for persistent AF ablation from the EARNEST-PVI (Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study of Effect of Extensive Ablation on Recurrence in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Pulmonary Vein Isolation) trial.
On admission, enrolled patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or PVI-plus additional ablation (linear ablation or/and CFAE ablation). Of the 512 patients, we studied 94 patients with preoperative echocardiography showing moderate or greater baseline FMR. FMR grades were classified into 5 grades (0/1/2/3/4). The FMR improvement group (FMRI(+)) was defined as a case in which the FMR was improved by two or more grades compared the preoperative echocardiography and the one year follow-up examination.
Results
Of the 94 patients, 42 were in the PVI group and 52 were in the PVI-plus additional ablation group. There were 30 cases in the FMRI(+) group and 64 cases in the FMRI(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in age, sinus rhythm maintenance, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular diastolic dimension, or left atrium dimension between the FMRI(+) and FMRI(−) groups. AF duration was significantly shorter in the FMRI(+) group than FMRI(−) groups (5.8±9.4 months vs 12.4±15.4 months, p<0.0001). In addition, significantly more additional ablation cases were observed in the FMRI(+) group than in the FMRI(−) group (73.3% vs 46.8%, p=0.016). In multivariate analyses, only additional ablation was an independent predictor of FMRI (odds ratio 0.226 95% CI 0.081–0.626; p=0.004).
Conclusions
Catheter ablation is a valid option for the treatment of AF in patients with functional MR and additional substrate and trigger ablation were the only independent predictor of FMR improvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare short-term outcomes between two- vs. three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) to clarify the optimal treatment for esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) in a multicenter, randomized, phase II trial. BACKGROUND An optimal number of NAC cycles remains to be established for locally advanced ESCC. METHODS Patients with locally advanced ESCC were randomly assigned to either two (N = 91) or three (N = 89) courses of DCF (70 mg/m2 intravenous docetaxel and 70 mg/m2 intravenous cisplatin on day 1, and a continuous 700 mg/m2 fluorouracil infusion for 5 days) every 3 weeks followed by surgery. We compared the two groups for perioperative parameters, adverse events, and the response to NAC. RESULTS The two- and three-course groups showed similar completion rates and overall NAC dose reductions. Although the two-course group showed significantly lower overall grades 3-4 leukopenia and anemia compared to the three-course group, the two groups had similar overall toxicity rates. Postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups, except arrhythmia (13 vs. 0%, P = 0.0007). Only two postoperative in-hospital deaths occurred in the three-course group, due to sepsis following severe pneumonia. Compared to the two-course group, the three-course group was associated with a significantly better clinical response (42.9 vs. 65.2%, P = 0.0027) and a relatively higher rate of pathological complete response (9.1 vs. 15.3%, P = 0.212). CONCLUSION Both two- and three-course DCF regimens in the NAC setting seemed to be equally feasible in locally advanced ESCC patients. Additional DCF courses led to a better NAC response without increasing the incidence of adverse events or postoperative morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM An excessive postoperative inflammatory response is correlated with the development of pneumonia and an unfavourable prognosis in patients undergoing esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. We assessed the influence of OSK-0028, a synthetic human ghrelin on inflammatory response and energy metabolism, on the postoperative course of patients following radical esophagectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Esophageal cancer patients were randomly assigned to low-dose (LD; 0.25 μg/kg/h) or high-dose (HD; 0.5 μg/kg/h) intravenous OSK-0028 or placebo for 7 days after esophagectomy. The primary endpoint was serum interleukin-6 level on postoperative day (POD) 3. RESULTS A total of 75 patients were enrolled (23 LD, 26 HD, 26 placebo). The median interleukin-6 levels on POD 3 were 40.95, 35.85, and 64.50 pg/ml in the placebo, LD, and HD groups, respectively, with no significant differences (p=0.78). Postoperative complications did not differ between groups. Bodyweight loss was significantly lower in patients receiving OSK-0028 than in those receiving placebo (-0.17% vs. 1.78%, p=0.043). CONCLUSION Although OSK-0028 did not attenuate inflammatory response after esophagectomy, it prevented postoperative bodyweight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic treatment is one of the options for superficial esophageal cancer, but additional therapy such as esophagectomy or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is sometimes needed due to noncurative resection. However, the outcome of additional therapy after endoscopic treatment has not been fully evaluated. METHODS In 160 patients with superficial esophageal cancer, including 37 patients who underwent esophagectomy and 123 patients who underwent CRT after noncurative endoscopic resection, outcomes were investigated. RESULTS The CRT group included more elderly patients than the surgery group, although there were no significant differences in tumor depth or lymphovascular invasion between the two groups. Overall survival was significantly better in the surgery group than in the CRT group (5-year overall survival: 94.3% vs. 79.9%; p = 0.039). Two (5.4%) patients in the surgery group who developed lymph node recurrence achieved complete response by chemotherapy or CRT, and 9 of 16 patients (13.0%) in the CRT group who developed recurrence underwent salvage esophagectomy or lymphadenectomy. As a result, the 5-year cause-specific survival was 100% in the surgery group and 92.8% in the CRT group. SM2 invasion (≥ SM2) was significantly associated with recurrence after CRT, while lymphatic invasion was associated with lymph node metastasis in the surgery group. CONCLUSION Endoscopic treatment combined with esophagectomy or CRT can be a curative treatment option in patients with superficial esophageal cancer. However, esophagectomy rather than CRT should be recommended for patients with massive submucosal tumor invasion due to the risk of recurrence after CRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of thoracic duct (TD) resection on prognosis is controversial. This study aimed to examine the impact of TD resection. METHODS In this six-institution, matched-cohort study, 2269 consecutive patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent esophagectomy between 2000 and 2017 were enrolled for analysis of long-term outcomes, including overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), cause-specific survival (CSS), and recurrence patterns. RESULTS Based on a propensity score, 642 TD-resected and 642 TD-preserved patients with all stages of disease were selected. At 5 years, the TD-resected group had an OS of 57.7%, a DFS of 50.9%, and a CSS of 62.2%. These rates were significantly higher than the corresponding rates of 48.7% (p = 0.0078), 41.0% (p = 0.0297), and 55.3% (p = 0.0473) in the TD-preserved group. The OS in the TD-preserved and TD-resected groups was similar for the patients with cStage 1 or 2 (p = 0.6265), but it was significantly higher in the TD-resected group for the patients with cStage 3 or 4 (p = 0.0052). The incidence of total recurrence did not differ between the two groups. However, the incidence of hematogenous recurrence in the TD-resected group (19.0%) was significantly lower than in the TD-preserved group (26.2%) (p = 0.0021). For cT4a tumors, the incidence of local recurrence in the TD-resected group (2.4%) was significantly lower than in the TD-preserved group (18.4%) (p = 0.0183). CONCLUSIONS Performance of TD resection may help to improve prognosis, especially for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, by reducing hematogenous and local recurrence. Prospective trials are needed to determine whether prophylactic TD resection has a positive impact on the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Inflammation-based markers, including the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), have been demonstrated to serve as prognostic indicators in various malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate their potential predictive value for colorectal cancer (CRC) in the elderly. We retrospectively evaluated 163 patients with CRC, aged 80 years and older, who had undergone curative surgery. The receiver operating characteristic curve analyses and the corresponding areas under the curve (AUCs) were used to determine and compare the discriminatory ability of the inflammation-based markers. Besides, the associations of inflammatory markers and clinical characteristics with overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were analyzed. The CAR had a significantly larger AUC than the GPS, PLR, NLR, and LMR (p = 0.006, 0.012, 0.018, and 0.002, respectively), except for the PNI (p = 0.052). The optimal cut-off value was 0.106 for the CAR and 44.894 for the PNI. Moreover, a CAR ≥ 0.106 turned out to be significantly associated with worse 5-year OS, RFS, and CSS compared with a CAR < 0.106. The multivariate analysis indicated that the CAR ≥ 0.106 was an independent prognostic factor for poor OS (HR = 3.596, p = 0.0006), RFS (HR = 2.945, p = 0.003), and CSS (HR = 4.411, p = 0.02). CAR is a useful and promising prognostic marker in elderly patients undergoing curative surgery for CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The appropriate surgical procedure for patients with upper third early gastric cancer is controversial. We compared total gastrectomy (TG) with proximal gastrectomy (PG) in this patient population. METHODS A multicenter, non-randomized trial was conducted, with patients treated with PG or TG. We compared short- and long-term outcomes between these procedures. RESULTS Between 2009 and 2014, we enrolled 254 patients from 22 institutions; data from 252 were included in the analysis. These 252 patients were assigned to either the PG (n = 159) or TG (n = 93) group. Percentage of body weight loss (%BWL) at 1 year after surgery, i.e., the primary endpoint, in the PG group was significantly less than that of the TG group (- 12.8% versus - 16.9%; p = 0.0001). For short-term outcomes, operation time was significantly shorter for PG than TG (252 min versus 303 min; p < 0.0001), but there were no group-dependent differences in blood loss and postoperative complications. For long-term outcomes, incidence of reflux esophagitis in the PG group was significantly higher than that of the TG group (14.5% versus 5.4%; p = 0.02), while there were no differences in the incidence of anastomotic stenosis between the two (5.7% versus 5.4%; p = 0.92). Overall patient survival rates were similar between the two groups (3-year survival rates: 96% versus 92% in the PG and TG groups, respectively; p = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent PG were better able to control weight loss without worsening the prognosis, relative to those in the TG group. Optimization of a reconstruction method to reduce reflux in PG patients will be important.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We developed a novel technique for valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy, named tri double-flap hybrid method (TDF). TDF is shown to be simple and useful for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction carcinoma. BACKGROUND Research has found valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy using the conventional hand-sutured double-flap (CDF) technique to be a useful anti-reflux procedure after proximal gastrectomy. However, no study has focused on this reconstruction procedure after laparoscopic transhiatal lower esophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy (LEPG) for esophagogastric junction carcinoma primarily because of its profound difficulty. Thus, we devised a novel technique for valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy comprising triangular linear-stapled esophagogastrostomy and hand-sutured flap closure, which we term the tri double-flap hybrid (TDF) method. METHODS After reviewing our institution's prospective gastric cancer database, 59 consecutive patients with Siewert type II esophagogastric junction carcinoma who underwent LEPG with valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy from January 2014 to August 2018 were analyzed. Short- and mid-term surgical outcomes were then compared between the LEPG-TDF and LEPG-CDF groups to evaluate the efficacy of the TDF method. RESULTS The median operative time was 316 min (184-613 min) and blood loss was 22.5 ml (0-180 ml). In comparison between the two groups, the LEPG-TDF group had a significantly shorter operative time (298 vs. 336 min, p = 0.041) and significantly lower postoperative anastomotic leak/stenosis rates (0 vs. 14.2%, p = 0.045), compared to the LEPG-CDF group. No patient suffered from severe gastroesophageal reflux symptoms (Visick score ≥ III). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that double-flap valvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy is safe and feasible for reconstruction after LEPG for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction carcinoma. Moreover, the TDF method is a simple and useful technique that offers a shorter operative time and lower morbidity compared to the CDF technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the influences of living arrangements on the association between dietary variety and frailty by gender in community-dwelling older people. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Nishinomiya city, Hyogo prefecture, Japan. PARTICIPANTS A total of 4,996 randomly selected community-dwelling older people aged 65 years and older and living in Nishinomiya City. MEASUREMENTS Survey questionnaires were distributed via mail. The frailty score was evaluated by the 5-item frailty screening index. Dietary variety was assessed using the dietary variety score developed for the general older Japanese population. RESULTS A total of 2,764 community-dwelling participants aged ≥ 65 years responded to the questionnaires. After excluding missing data, 1,780 participants were included in the study analysis. The frailty scores in older men living alone were significantly higher than those in older men living with someone (P < 0.001). The dietary variety scores in older men living alone were significantly lower than those in older men living with someone (P < 0.001). However, differences in the frailty and dietary variety scores between living alone and living with someone were not were observed in older women (P = 0.360 and P = 0.265, respectively). In the multivariable regression analysis, the associations between dietary variety score and frailty score in living alone (β= -0. 271, P = 0.011) were stronger than those in living with someone in the case of older men (β= -0.131, P = 0.045). Similar associations between dietary variety and frailty were presented in older women living alone than in those living with someone (β -0.114, P = 0.002; β -0.088, P = 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Older men who live alone had higher frailty score and lower dietary variety. The associations between dietary variety and frailty were different according to living arrangements in both older men and older women.

Abstract
AIM The aim is to report the long-term outcomes of preoperative cisplatin and fluorouracil plus docetaxel (DCF) vs Adriamycin (ACF) for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Previously, this trial showed that DCF is associated with prolonged recurrence-free survival (RFS). METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to two cycles of ACF (35 mg/m2 of Adriamycin, 70 mg/m2 of cisplatin intravenously on day 1, and 700 mg/m2 of fluorouracil infusion for 7 days) every 4 weeks or DCF (70 mg/m2 of docetaxel, 70 mg/m2 of cisplatin intravenously on day 1, and 700 mg/m2 of fluorouracil infusion for 5 days) every 3 weeks, followed by surgery. The primary endpoint was RFS. The secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). RESULTS Between October 2011 and October 2013, 162 patients at 10 institutions were enrolled in the study, 162 of whom were eligible and randomly assigned to the two groups. The median follow-up for surviving patients was 69.8 months. The 5-year RFS was significantly better in the DCF group than in the ACF group (59.9% vs 40.7%, hazard ratio [HR] 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.86; P = .009) and the 5-year OS was significantly better in the DCF group than in the ACF group (63.5% vs 49.4%, HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.38-0.96; P = .03). The benefit of DCF chemotherapy on survival was significantly greater in the subgroups with more advanced clinical T and N stage. CONCLUSIONS Cisplatin and fluorouracil plus docetaxel are associated with better RFS and OS than ACF in resectable ESCC patients.
