Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer cells can alter glucose metabolism and regulate the expression of glucose transporters. Hepatoblastoma patients undergo cisplatin-based chemotherapy; however, 22.3% of patients develop cisplatin resistance and thus face a poor prognosis. We hypothesized that glucose transporters are associated with acquiring cisplatin resistance with increasing sugar intake inhibiting glucose transporters could reduce cisplatin resistance in hepatoblastoma patients. METHODS We established cisplatin-resistant HepG2 and HuH6 cells by continuous treatment with cisplatin. We evaluated the relationship between cisplatin resistance and glucose uptake. We used an expression array to select cisplatin-resistant associated glucose transporters and selected sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). We used dapagliflozin as an SGLT2 inhibitor and evaluated glucose uptake and IC50 after dapagliflozin treatment in wild-type and resistant hepatoblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS We found a strong relationship between cisplatin resistance and glucose uptake. Additionally, SGLT2 was upregulated in resistant cells after cisplatin treatment. After dapagliflozin treatment, glucose uptake and cisplatin resistance decreased in resistant cells. CONCLUSIONS Cisplatin-resistant hepatoblastoma cells exhibited upregulated SGLT2 expression and activated glucose uptake to survive under cisplatin stress. SGLT2 inhibition decreased cellular resistance to cisplatin. SGLT2 inhibition with cisplatin therapy could be a novel therapeutic strategy for cisplatin-resistant hepatoblastoma patients.

Abstract
The University of Wisconsin (UW) solution is the most effective preservation solution currently used; however, to safely use expanded-criteria donor grafts, a new cold storage solution that alleviates graft injury more effectively is required. We prepared a heavy water (D2O)-containing buffer, Dsol, and observed strong protective effects during extended cold storage of rat hearts and livers. In the current study, we modified Dsol (mDsol) and tested its efficacy. The aim of the present study was to determine whether mDsol could protect the rat liver more effectively than the UW solution and to clarify the roles of D2O and deferoxamine (DFX). Rat livers were subjected to cold storage for 48 hours in test solutions: UW, mDsol, mDsol without D2O or DFX (mDsol-D2O[-], mDsol-DFX[-]), and subsequently reperfused on an isolated perfused rat liver for 90 minutes at 37°C. In the UW group, the liver was dehydrated during cold storage and rapidly expanded during reperfusion. Accordingly, the cumulative weight change was the highest in the UW group, together with augmented portal veinous resistance and ALT leakage and decreased oxygen consumption rate and bile production. These changes were significantly suppressed in the mDsol-treated group. In the mDsol-D2O(-) and mDsol-DFX(-) groups offered partial protection. In conclusion, mDsol appeared to be superior to the UW solution for simple cold storage of the rat liver, presumably due to improved microcirculation in the early phase of reperfusion. Both heavy water and deferoxamine are essential for alleviating seamless organ swelling that occurs during cold storage and subsequent reperfusion.

Abstract
Aim Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal surgery. However, the risk factors for POI after laparoscopic colorectal resection are unclear. We therefore investigated the risk factors for POI after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Methods This retrospective study involved 484 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for primary colorectal cancer at Hokkaido University Hospital. We categorized the patients into a POI group (n = 19) and non-POI group (n = 465). We compared sex, age, smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes mellitus, body mass index (BMI), cardiac disorder, serum albumin, American Society of Anesthesiologists-physical status, tumor location, tumor stage, operative duration, stoma formation, lymph node dissection, operator, and bleeding as potential risk factors for POI between the POI group and non-POI group by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The univariate analysis results showed that the POI group had a higher incidence of male sex (P = 0.036), COPD (P = 0.029), and a BMI of <20 kg/m2 (P = 0.0487) as well as a higher bleeding volume (P = 0.014). The multivariate analysis results showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR], 0.2799; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.089-0.993; P = 0.0298), COPD (0.2866; 0.095-0.862; P = 0.0262), and a BMI of <20 kg/m2 (0.2985; 0.112-0.794; P = 0.0154) were independent risk factors for POI after laparoscopic colorectal resection. Conclusion Our findings suggest that male sex, COPD, and a BMI of <20 kg/m2 are independent risk factors for POI after laparoscopic colorectal surgery for treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic and robotic total proctocolectomy (TPC) for ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative outcomes of TPC in 13 patients with UC-CRC between January 2011 and December 2021. Laparoscopic TPC was performed in 10 patients. TPC consisted of two procedures: ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IAA) and TPC with end ileostomy. Using the da Vinci Xi platform with six ports, robotic TPC and abdominal perineal resection (APR) were performed in two and one patients, respectively. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) was performed using the perineal approach in five patients. RESULTS UC-CRC was located in the transverse colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anal canal in 1, 1, 10, and 1 patients, respectively. IAA, TPC with end ileostomy, and APR were performed in nine, three, and one patients, respectively. Postoperative complications included colitis, portal vein thrombosis, and liver dysfunction, without mortality. The pathological stages were 0, I, IIa, IIIb, and IIIc in five, four, one, two, and one patients, respectively. The tumors were completely resected in all cases. Eleven patients with pStages 0, I, and II survived without recurrence; however, two patients with pStage III died of cancer recurrence. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the feasibility of laparoscopic and robotic TPC in patients with UC-CRC. However, long-term outcomes in terms of oncology and patient quality of life must be investigated in future large-scale studies.

Abstract
We previously reported the efficacy of cold storage (CS) using a heavy water-containing solution (Dsol) and post-reperfusion hydrogen gas treatment separately. This study aimed to clarify the combined effects of these treatments. Rat livers were subjected to 48-hour CS and a subsequent 90-minute reperfusion in an isolated perfused rat liver system. The experimental groups were the immediately reperfused control group (CT), the CS with University of Wisconsin solution (UW) group, the CS with Dsol group, the CS with UW and post-reperfusion H2 treatment group (UW-H2), and the CS with Dsol and post-reperfusion H2 group (Dsol-H2). We first compared the Dsol-H2, UW, and CT groups to evaluate this alternative method to conventional CS. The protective potential of the Dsol-H2 group was superior to that of the UW group, as evidenced by lower portal venous resistance and lactate dehydrogenase leakage, a higher oxygen consumption rate, and increased bile production. Multiple comparison tests among the UW, Dsol, UW-H2, and Dsol-H2 groups revealed that both treatments, during CS and after reperfusion, conferred a similar extent of protection and showed additive effects in combination therapy. Furthermore, the variance in all treatment groups appeared smaller than that in the no-treatment or no-stress groups, with excellent reproducibility. In conclusion, combination therapy with Dsol during CS and hydrogen gas after reperfusion additively protects against graft injury.

Abstract
Interventions for liver grafts with moderate macrovesicular steatosis have been important in enlarging donor pools. Here, we tested a high-fat and cholesterol (HFC) diet to create a steatosis model for cold hepatic preservation and reperfusion experiments. The aim of the present study was to assess the steatosis model's reliability and to show the resulting graft's quality for cold preservation and reperfusion experiment. Male SHRSP5-Dmcr rats were raised with an HFC diet for up to 2 weeks. The fat content was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proton density fat fraction (PDFF). The nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) was evaluated after excision. Steatosis created by 2 weeks of HFC diet was subjected to 24-hour cold storage in the University of Wisconsin and the original test solution (new sol.). Grafts were applied to isolated perfused rat livers for simulating reperfusion. The NAS were 2.2 (HFC 5 days), 3.3 (HFC 1 week), and 5.0 (HFC 2 weeks). Ballooning and fibrosis were not observed in any group. An MRI-PDFF showed 0.2 (HFC 0 days), 12.0 (HFC 1 week), and 18.9 (HFC 2 weeks). The NAS and MRI-PDFF values correlated. Many indices in the isolated perfused rat liver experiment tended to improve in the new sol. group but were insufficient. Although the new sol. failed to be effective, it acted at multiple sites under difficult conditions. In conclusion, the HFC diet for 2 weeks in SHRSP5-Dmcr rats, together with MRI-PDFF evaluation, is a reliable method for creating simple steatosis and provides good-quality cold preservation and reperfusion experiments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported the efficacy of post-reperfusion H2 gas treatment in cold storage (CS) and subsequent reperfusion of the rat liver. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of H2 gas treatment during hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in rat livers retrieved from donation after circulatory death (DCD) and elucidate the mechanism of action of H2 gas. METHODS Liver grafts were procured from rats after 30 min of cardiopulmonary arrest. The graft was subjected to HMP for 3 hours at 7°C using Belzer MPS with or without dissolved H2 gas. The graft was reperfused using an isolated perfused rat liver apparatus at 37°C for 90 minutes. Perfusion kinetics, liver damage, function, apoptosis, and ultrastructure were evaluated. RESULTS Portal venous resistance, bile production, and oxygen consumption rates were identical in the CS, MP, and MP-H2 groups. Liver enzyme leakage was suppressed by MP (vs control), whereas H2 treatment did not show a combination effect. Histopathology revealed poorly stained areas with a structural deformity just below the liver surface in the CS and MP groups, whereas these findings disappeared in the MP-H2 group. The apoptotic index in the CS and MP groups was high but decreased in the MP-H2 group. Mitochondrial cristae were damaged in the CS group but preserved in the MP and MP-H2 groups. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, HMP and H2 gas treatment are partly effective in DCD rat livers but insufficient. Hypothermic machine perfusion can improve focal microcirculation and preserve mitochondrial ultrastructure.

Abstract
A 39-year-old woman was hospitalized because of lower abdominal pain and fatigue. A laboratory study indicated severe anemia(hemoglobin 2.5 g/dL). Computed tomography(CT)revealed a perforated gastric tumor and free air. Distal gastrectomy was performed as an emergency surgery. Histopathologic examination showed adenocarcinoma(moderately differentiated > poorly differentiated), and she was diagnosed as having a pT4b, pN0, pM1, pStage ⅣB tumor. Postoperatively, adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was administered. CT imaging 2 years after the operation showed peritoneal dissemination and liver metastasis, and XELOX therapy was initiated. Response evaluation after 3 courses was progressive disease (PD), and ramucirumab plus paclitaxel was initiated. After 5 courses, CT imaging revealed ascites and progression of peritoneal dissemination and liver metastasis; nivolumab was initiated. CT imaging after 74 courses showed peritoneal dissemination, and liver metastasis became unclear. The patient at present has responded well to nivolumab for 52 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cancer treatment of the elderly, it is important to grasp the"degree of inflammation"and"nutritional status"in advance. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the usefulness of preoperative modified Glasgow Prognostic score(mGPS)evaluation in elderly patients with colorectal cancer. PATIENT 89 cases of primary resection of colorectal cancer over 80 years old were enrolled. METHODS In the preoperative mGPS score normal group(score 0)and abnormal group (scores 1 or 2)were divided. Clinicopathological factors(patient-related 13 factors, treatment-related 6 factors, and tumor-related 4 factors)were compared, and the long-term results were also investigated. RESULTS Between 42 cases in the normal group and 47 cases in the abnormal group, there were significant differences(p<0.05)in 6 factors: BMI, total protein, cholinesterase, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and Onodera prognostic nutritional index. The long-term results(5-year survival rate)were also significantly different in the normal group(76.8%)and the abnormal group(51.6%)(p=0.007). CONCLUSION Even in elderly patients with colorectal cancer, preoperative suppression of inflammatory conditions and improvement of nutritional status may contribute to the improvement of long-term prognosis, so mGPS evaluation is useful.

Abstract
Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common malignant liver neoplasm in children. Despite progress in HB therapy, outcomes for patients with metastatic disease remain poor. Dysregulation of miRNA expression is one of the potential epigenetic mechanisms associated with pathogenesis of HB. However, miRNA profiles related to the different stages of HB tissues and cells, in particular of lung metastatic tumor cells, are unknown. In the present study, using array-based miRNA expression and DNA methylation analysis on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, we aimed to identify miRNA changes that can discriminate between lung metastatic tumors, primary tumors (fetal and embryonal subtypes), and nontumorous surrounding livers. Our analysis demonstrated that a large cluster of microRNAs and snoRNAs located within the 14q32.2 DLK1-DIO3 region showed a strikingly upregulated expression pattern in HB tumors, especially metastatic tumors, compared to normal liver tissues. This revealed dysregulation of miRNAs similar to that seen in a malignant stem-like subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with poor prognosis. These findings in HB mirror similar findings made in multiple other cancer types. With further analysis this may in future allow stratification of different stages and types of HB tumors based on their miRNA profiles, which could lead to new approaches to diagnosis and treatment in progressive HB patients.

Abstract
AIM Most hepatoblastoma patients undergo pre/postoperative cisplatin treatment. Approximately 20% patients are cisplatin resistant, and show poor prognosis and high recurrence rates. However, some cisplatin-sensitive patients show early recurrence. We consider that a small population of cisplatin-resistant cells may remain after preoperative chemotherapy. Previous studies showed a correlation between DNA hypermethylation and hepatoblastoma progression. Here, we examined whether DNA hypermethylation was related to cisplatin resistance and could be a potential indicator for cisplatin as postoperative chemotherapy. METHODS We extracted DNA from 43 resected hepatoblastoma tumors. Methylation array analyses were performed in 11 samples, including six cisplatin-sensitive and five cisplatin-resistant samples. We also performed cDNA microarray analysis in parental and cisplatin-resistant HuH6 cells. Through comparison of the datasets, we selected the strongest correlated cisplatin-resistant candidate gene. Using bisulfite pyrosequencing, the candidate gene methylation level was assessed in 38 cisplatin-sensitive patients after checking its usefulness as a substitute modality of methylation array. Correlations between the methylation status and clinical data were analyzed. RESULTS CSF3R was the strongest correlated variable. Bisulfite pyrosequencing analysis also confirmed CSF3R was significantly hypermethylated in cisplatin-resistant patients. Among the 38 cisplatin-sensitive patients, recurrence curves showed that the CSF3R high methylation patients had significantly higher recurrence than CSF3R low methylation patients. The recurrence curve of methylation high patients was similar to that of cisplatin-resistant patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that CSF3R hypermethylation was related to cisplatin resistance in HB patients and could be a predictor of postoperative chemotherapy, and indicate that CSF3R high methylation patients should be treated with non-CDDP regimens.

Abstract
258 Background: Cisplatin (CDDP) is a key-drug of mainstream treatment for hepatoblastoma (HB), but 22.3% of HB patients have resistance to CDDP, and their prognoses are poor. We investigated methylation status of HB patients and identified CDDP resistant candidate genes in HB. Methods: First, we performed a genome-wide methylation array analysis of 11 resected HB tumors. These cases included six cases of RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) CR or PR (S group) and five cases of SD or PD (R group). We analyzed methylation status of these patients, comparing with clinical course, and selected significant differentially methylated genes. Next, We made CDDP-resistant HepG2 cells by repeated CDDP treatments for a year, then compared expression levels between the CDDP-resistant cells and original cells, using cDNA microarray analysis. We selected CDDP resistant candidate genes from these data. Results: In methylation array analysis data, unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis showed that methylation profiles were separable into 2 groups in accord with clinical S group and R group. In principal component analysis, the S group also showed a different methylation pattern to the R group. We compared survival rates using Kaplan-Meier method, and results showed that the R group had poorer prognosis significantly. The R group showed 336 hypermethylated genes and 106 hypomethylated genes around the transcriptional start site compared with S group significantly. And in cDNA microarray analysis, 1271 genes were downregulated and 1571 genes were upregulated significantly in CDDP-resistant cells. From among these genes, we selected 15 suppressor and 8 promoter candidate genes that could be related to CDDP-resistance. Conclusions: We identified methylation status associated with CDDP resistance and poor prognosis, and 23 candidates genes in HB. Further refining might lead us to find out the pathogenesis of chemoresistance or new target of therapies and biomarkers in HB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We reported previously that hydrogen gas (H2) reduced hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) after prolonged cold storage (CS) of livers retrieved from heart-beating donors. The present study was designed to assess whether H2 reduced hepatic IRI during donation of a cardiac death (DCD) graft with subsequent CS. METHODS Rat livers were harvested after 30-min cardiac arrest and stored for 4 h in University of Wisconsin solution. The graft was reperfused with oxygenated buffer, with or without H2 (H2 or NT groups, respectively), at 37° for 90 min on isolated perfused rat liver apparatus. RESULTS In the NT group, liver enzyme leakage, apoptosis, necrosis, energy depletion, redox status, impaired microcirculation, and bile production were indicative of severe IRI, whereas in the H2 group these impairments were significantly suppressed. The phosphorylation of cytoplasmic MKK4 and JNK were enhanced in the NT group and suppressed in the H2 group. NFkB-p65 and c-Fos in the nucleus were unexpectedly unchanged by IRI regardless of H2 treatment, indicating the absence of inflammation in this model. CONCLUSION H2 was observed to ameliorate IRI in the DCD liver by maintaining microcirculation, mitochondrial functions, and redox status, as well as suppressing the cytoplasmic MKK4-JNK-mediated cellular death pathway.
