Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Sarcopenia is a morbi-mortality risk factor in digestive surgery, though its impact after major hepatectomy (MH) remains unknown. This prospective pilot study investigated whether volume and function of a regenerating liver is influenced by body composition. METHODS From 2011 to 2016, 125 consecutive patients had computed tomography and 99mTc-labelled-mebrofenin SPECT-scintigraphy before and after MH at day 7 and 1 month for measurements of liver volumes and functions. L3 vertebra muscle mass identified sarcopenia. Primary endpoint was the impact of sarcopenia on regeneration capacities (i.e. volume/function changes and post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) rate). Secondary endpoint was 3-month morbi-mortality. RESULTS Sarcopenic patients (SP; N = 69) were significantly older than non-sarcopenic (NSP), with lower BMI and more malignancies, but with comparable liver function/volume at baseline. Postoperatively, SP showed higher rates of ISGLS_PHLF (24.6 % vs 10.9 %; p = 0.05) but with comparable rates of severe morbidity (23.2 % vs 16.4 %; p = 0.35), overall (8.7 % vs 3.6 %; p = 0.3) and PHLF-related mortality (8,7 % vs 1.8 %; p = 0.075). After matching on the extent of resection or using propensity score, regeneration and PHLF rates were similar. CONCLUSION This prospective study using first sequential SPECT-scintigraphy showed that sarcopenia by itself does not affect liver regeneration capacities and short-term postoperative course after MH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy is increasingly used before hepatic resection, with controversial impact regarding liver function. This study aimed to assess the capacity of 99mTc-labelled-mebrofenin SPECT-hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) to predict liver dysfunction due to chemotherapy and/or chemotherapeutic-associated liver injuries (CALI), such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) activity score (NAS). METHODS From 2011 to 2015, all consecutive noncirrhotic patients scheduled for a major hepatectomy (≥ 3 segments) gave informed consent for preoperative SPECT-HBS allowing measurements of segmental liver function. As primary endpoint, HBS results were compared between patients with versus without (1) preoperative chemotherapy (≤ 3 months); and (2) CALI, mainly steatosis, NAS (Kleiner), or SOS (Rubbia-Brandt). Secondary endpoints were (1) other factors impairing function; and (2) impact of chemotherapy, and/or CALI on hepatocyte isolation outcome via liver tissues. RESULTS Among 115 patients, 55 (47.8%) received chemotherapy. Sixteen developed SOS and 35 NAS, with worse postoperative outcome. Overall, chemotherapy had no impact on liver function, except above 12 cycles. In patients with CALI, a steatosis ≥ 30% significantly compromised function, as well as NAS, especially grades 2-5. Conversely, SOS had no impact, although subjected to very low patients number with severe SOS. Other factors impairing function were diabetes, overweight/obesity, or fibrosis. Similarly, chemotherapy in 73 of 164 patients had no effect on hepatocytes isolation outcome; regarding CALI, steatosis ≥ 30% and NAS impaired the yield and/or viability of hepatocytes, but not SOS. CONCLUSIONS In this first large, prospective study, HBS appeared to be a valuable tool to select heavily treated patients at risk of liver dysfunction through steatosis or NAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The kinetics of remnant liver (RL) function is unknown after major hepatectomy (MH), especially in case of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). This study investigated the change in RL function after MH using 99mTc-labelled-mebrofenin SPECT-scintigraphy and its correlation with RL volume and PHLF. METHODS From 2011 to 2015, 125 patients undergoing MH had volumetric assessment by CT and functional SPECT-scintigraphy preoperatively and at day 7 (POD7) and 1 month (1M). RL volume and function changes were compared in (i) overall population and (ii) 17 patients with vs. 42 without PHLF (ISGLS) matched on preoperative RL function. RESULTS Increase in RL function correlated poorly with volume increase at POD7 (r = 0.035, p = 0.43) and 1M (r = 0.394, p < 0.0001). Overall, function increase on POD7 (+38.8%) was lower than volume (+49.4%), but comparable at 1M (+78.8% vs. +73%). PHLF patients showed lower function increase on POD7 (+2.1% [-89%-77.8%] vs. +50% [-39%-218%]; p = 0.006). At 1M, 4 PHLF patients died with no function increase despite significant volumetric gain. CONCLUSIONS We first showed via sequential SPECT-scintigraphy that RL function increase after MH is slower than volume increase. A poor kinetic of function was correlated with PHLF as early as POD7, contrasting with substantial volume gain in PHLF patients.

Abstract
Growing body of evidence suggests that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical process in tumor progression and chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer (PC). The aim of this study was to analyze the role of EMT-like changes in acquisition of resistance to gemcitabine in pancreatic cells of the mesenchymal or epithelial phenotype. Therefore, chemoresistant BxPC-3, Capan-2, Panc-1, and MiaPaca-2 cells were selected by chronic exposure to increasing concentrations of gemcitabine. We show that gemcitabine-resistant Panc-1 and MiaPaca-2 cells of mesenchymal-like phenotype undergo further EMT-like molecular changes mediated by ERK-ZEB-1 pathway, and that inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation or ZEB-1 expression resulted in a decrease in chemoresistance. Conversely, gemcitabine-resistant BxPC-3 and Capan-2 cells of epithelial-like phenotype did not show such typical EMT-like molecular changes although the expression of the tight junction marker occludin could be found decreased. In pancreatic cancer patients, high ZEB-1 expression was associated with tumor invasion and tumor budding. In addition, tumor budding was essentially observed in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These findings support the notion that gemcitabine treatment induces EMT-like changes that sustain invasion and chemoresistance in PC cells.

Abstract
To evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery and to examine its impact on the surgical outcomes and survival of patients.Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was measured on preoperative CT. A patient was considered sarcopenic if SMI was <38.5 cm/m for a female or <52.4 cm/m for a male. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and severe morbidity (Clavien≥3) were analyzed. Survival of patients with cancer was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.In total, 107 consecutive patients were included. Among them, 50 (47%) patients were sarcopenic and 65 (60%) were undernourished. The rates of severe morbidity and mortality were comparable between sarcopenic and nonsarcopenic groups. However, all POPF grade B or C and deaths occurred in the sarcopenic or nonsarcopenic overweight group (BMI > 25) with significantly lengthened hospital stays (P = .003). After pancreatectomy for cancer, 31 (40.2%) patients showed postoperative recurrence and 23 (29.9%) died after a median follow-up of 15 ± 13.5 months. Despite comparable histological types and stages, the median overall and disease-free survivals were lower in sarcopenic patients (16 months vs not reached, P = .02 and 11.1 months vs 22.5 months; P = .04, respectively). The multivariate analysis revealed that, sarcopenia trended to increase the risk of death (HR = 2.04, P = .07).Sarcopenia negatively impacted short- and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatectomy.
