Abstract
Naldemedine is structurally designed to prevent passage across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), resulting in the attenuation of opioid-induced constipation without interfering with the analgesic effects of opioids. However, the influence of brain metastasis (BM), as one indicator of BBB disruption, on the analgesic effects of opioids in patients treated with naldemedine remains unclear. To examine whether the analgesic effects of opioids following naldemedine treatment are lower in patients with BM than in those without BM, we surveyed inpatients with lung and breast cancers treated with naldemedine at Fujita Health University Hospital between April 2017 and March 2022. Changes in the numeric rating scale (NRS) scores, morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs), and the number of rescues were assessed as analgesia-related outcomes during the first 7 days of naldemedine treatment in patients with or without BM, matched by the propensity score. In total, 172 patients were enrolled. After propensity-score matching, 30 patients with BM and 60 patients without BM were included in the analysis. Changes in NRS scores, MMEs, and the number of rescues did not differ between patients with and without BM. In the linear mixed-effects model, the coefficient of interaction between patients with or without BM and the days for each outcome was not statistically significant. BM does not influence the analgesic effect of opioids in patients with lung and breast cancers treated with naldemedine. Naldemedine may be useful for treating BM.

Abstract
In 2015 and 2016, atmospheric transport modeling challenges were conducted in the context of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) verification, however, with a more limited scope with respect to emission inventories, simulation period and number of relevant samples (i.e., those above the Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC)) involved. Therefore, a more comprehensive atmospheric transport modeling challenge was organized in 2019. Stack release data of Xe-133 were provided by the Institut National des Radioéléments/IRE (Belgium) and the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories/CNL (Canada) and accounted for in the simulations over a three (mandatory) or six (optional) months period. Best estimate emissions of additional facilities (radiopharmaceutical production and nuclear research facilities, commercial reactors or relevant research reactors) of the Northern Hemisphere were included as well. Model results were compared with observed atmospheric activity concentrations at four International Monitoring System (IMS) stations located in Europe and North America with overall considerable influence of IRE and/or CNL emissions for evaluation of the participants' runs. Participants were prompted to work with controlled and harmonized model set-ups to make runs more comparable, but also to increase diversity. It was found that using the stack emissions of IRE and CNL with daily resolution does not lead to better results than disaggregating annual emissions of these two facilities taken from the literature if an overall score for all stations covering all valid observed samples is considered. A moderate benefit of roughly 10% is visible in statistical scores for samples influenced by IRE and/or CNL to at least 50% and there can be considerable benefit for individual samples. Effects of transport errors, not properly characterized remaining emitters and long IMS sampling times (12-24 h) undoubtedly are in contrast to and reduce the benefit of high-quality IRE and CNL stack data. Complementary best estimates for remaining emitters push the scores up by 18% compared to just considering IRE and CNL emissions alone. Despite the efforts undertaken the full multi-model ensemble built is highly redundant. An ensemble based on a few arbitrary runs is sufficient to model the Xe-133 background at the stations investigated. The effective ensemble size is below five. An optimized ensemble at each station has on average slightly higher skill compared to the full ensemble. However, the improvement (maximum of 20% and minimum of 3% in RMSE) in skill is likely being too small for being exploited for an independent period.

Abstract
Breast cancer is primarily classified into ductal and lobular types, as well as into noninvasive and invasive cancer. Invasive cancer involves lymphatic and hematogenous metastasis. In breast cancer patients with distant metastases, a neutrophil-derived serine protease; cathepsin G (Cat G), is highly expressed in breast cancer cells. Cat G induces cell migration and multicellular aggregation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells; however, the mechanism is not clear. Recently, platelet-activating factor (PAF)-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), the enzyme responsible for PAF degradation, was reported to be overexpressed in some tumor types, including pancreatic and breast cancers. In this study, we investigated whether PAF-AH is involved in Cat G-induced aggregation and migration of MCF-7 cells. We first showed that Cat G increased PAF-AH activity and elevated PAFAH1B2 expression in MCF-7 cells. The elevated expression of PAFAH1B2 was also observed in human breast cancer tissue specimens by immunohistochemical analysis. Furthermore, knockdown of PAFAH1B2 in MCF-7 cells suppressed the cell migration and aggregation induced by low concentrations, but not high concentrations, of Cat G. Carbamoyl PAF (cPAF), a nonhydrolyzable PAF analog, completely suppressed Cat G-induced migration of MCF-7 cells. In addition, PAF receptor (PAFR) inhibition induced cell migration of MCF-7 cells even in the absence of Cat G, suggesting that Cat G suppresses the activation of PAFR through enhanced PAF degradation due to elevated expression of PAFAH1B2 and thereby induces malignant phenotypes in MCF-7 cells. Our findings may lead to a novel therapeutic modality for treating breast cancer by modulating the activity of Cat G/PAF signaling.

Abstract
A 39-year-old gravida 1 para 1 pregnant Japanese woman underwent skin-sparing mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) using a tissue expander (TE) at 32 weeks of pregnancy under general anesthesia. Inserted TE (300 cc) was expanded during breast feeding while the volume was 240 cc of the resected breast tissue. One month after delivery, 2 months after surgery, the contralateral healthy breast increased in size and the inframammary line was deviated toward a caudal site which was larger than 300 cc-inflated TE. She stopped breast feeding to receive a systemic chemotherapy after one months-breast feeding. At 3 months after delivery, the healthy breast size was smaller than the 250 cc-expanded breast and both the inframammary lines were at the same level. She was diagnosed local recurrence 3 month-postoperatively, so we resected the recurrent lesion and exchanged TE to silicon breast implant immediately. Finally, a good symmetry was obtained after insertion of the 220 cc SBI. At an IBR using TE, we should know the dynamic change of breast volume and the level of inframammary line of the healthy breast during those phases of pregnancy, delivery, and nursing.

Abstract
Our recent research has revealed that passenger strands of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) function as tumor-suppressive miRNAs in cancer cells, e.g., miR-101-5p, miR-143-5p, miR-144-5p, miR-145-3p, and miR-150-3p. Thus, they are important in cancer pathogenesis. Analysis of the miRNA expression signature of breast cancer (BrCa) showed that the expression levels of two miRNAs derived from pre-miR-99a (miR-99a-5p and miR-99a-3p) were suppressed in cancerous tissues. The aim of this study was to identify oncogenic genes controlled by pre-miR-99a that are closely involved in the molecular pathogenesis of BrCa. A total of 113 genes were identified as targets of pre-miR-99a regulation (19 genes modulated by miR-99a-5p, and 95 genes regulated by miR-99a-3p) in BrCa cells. Notably, FAM64A was targeted by both of the miRNAs. Among these targets, high expression of 16 genes (C5orf22, YOD1, SLBP, F11R, C12orf49, SRPK1, ZNF250, ZNF695, CDK1, DNMT3B, TRIM25, MCM4, CDKN3, PRPS, FAM64A, and DESI2) significantly predicted reduced survival of BrCa patients based upon The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. In this study, we focused on FAM64A and investigated the relationship between FAM64A expression and molecular pathogenesis of BrCa subtypes. The upregulation of FAM64A was confirmed in BrCa clinical specimens. Importantly, the expression of FAM64A significantly differed between patients with Luminal-A and Luminal-B subtypes. Our data strongly suggest that the aberrant expression of FAM64A is involved in the malignant transformation of BrCa. Our miRNA-based approaches (identification of tumor-suppressive miRNAs and their controlled targets) will provide novel information regarding the molecular pathogenesis of BrCa.

Abstract
Metastatic progression remains the major cause of death in human breast cancer. Cancer cells with cancer stem cell (CSC) properties drive initiation and growth of metastases at distant sites. We have previously established the breast cancer patient‐derived tumor xenograft (PDX) mouse model in which CSC marker CD44+ cancer cells formed spontaneous microscopic metastases in the liver. In this PDX mouse, the expression levels of S100A10 and its family proteins were much higher in the CD44+ cancer cells metastasized to the liver than those at the primary site. Knockdown of S100A10 in breast cancer cells suppressed and overexpression of S100A10 in breast cancer PDX cells enhanced their invasion abilities and 3D organoid formation capacities in vitro. Mechanistically, S100A10 regulated the matrix metalloproteinase activity and the expression levels of stem cell–related genes. Finally, constitutive knockdown of S100A10 significantly reduced their metastatic ability to the liver in vivo. These findings suggest that S100A10 functions as a metastasis promoter of breast CSCs by conferring both invasion ability and CSC properties in breast cancers.

Abstract
The treatment of early breast cancer using breast conservation therapy (BCT) commonly ensures local control and acceptable cosmetic results. We herein report a useful technique for obtaining symmetry of the breast shape and a level inframammary line and nipple-areola that achieved excellent results. Four Japanese patients with early breast cancer located on the upper inner area of the breast were enrolled into this study. De-epithelialized skin close to the resected area and skin from the epigastric area with subdermal fatty tissue were moved to repair the defect. Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) combining partial mastectomy with the V-rotation mammoplasty technique was useful for patients with breast cancer on the upper inner area of minimal ptotic breasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Locoregional recurrence (LRR) of breast cancer is reported to occur at a rate of 5%-15%. Wide excision of LRR is the recommended treatment, which can increase the probability of subsequent local control. Herein, we describe a surgical technique wherein a pedicled skin and subcutaneous flap close the skin defect after resection of a breast cancer LRR without use of a skin graft. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed four patients who underwent surgical resection using a pedicled rotation flap for chest wall recurrence after mastectomy. RESULTS The surgical margin was set 2 cm apart from the tumor margin. After resection of tumor from the chest wall, we formed an adjacent pedicled flap and rotated the flap to the skin defect. There were no post-operative complications, including wound necrosis. CONCLUSION Surgical resection with a pedicled rotation flap for post-mastectomy breast cancer LRR is a highly feasible way to achieve complete resection.

Abstract
Background When diagnosing patients with bilateral breast cancer, it is challenging to determine the relationship between multiple breast cancer lesions at the individual patient level with certainty. Case presentation A 35-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with a left breast cancer. She was previously diagnosed with right pT3N3M0 stage IIIC breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy with targeted therapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy as adjuvant treatment after mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection. Approximately 2 years after the first surgery, her left breast cancer was preoperatively diagnosed as a contralateral primary breast cancer, and left mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were performed. Histopathologically, the tumor was determined to be invasive ductal carcinoma accompanied with several intraductal components. After a second surgery, mutation analysis of her bilateral breast cancer was performed in a clinical study, which revealed that her metachronous bilateral breast tumors had the same GATA3 and CSMD1 mutations. Thus, mutation analysis strongly supported her latter left breast cancer being a metastatic lesion from the former right breast cancer. Some difficulties in diagnosing bilateral breast cancer exist when determining whether they are double primary cancers or represent contralateral breast metastasis. The existence of intraductal components is a critical piece of information for suspecting primary lesions. However, this case demonstrated that metastatic contralateral breast lesions can have intraductal components. Conclusion Herein we report a genetically proven contralateral breast metastasis with some intraductal components.

Abstract
The treatment of early breast cancer using breast conservation therapy (BCT) commonly ensures local control and acceptable cosmetic results. We herein report a useful technique to obtain symmetry of the breast shape and a level inframammary line and nipple-areola, which achieved excellent results. Six Japanese patients with early breast cancer located on the upper area of the breast were enrolled into this study. A triangle-shaped area of skin was removed together with cancerous and healthy-surrounding breast tissue. Two crescents were designed and de-epithelialized in the directions of 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. The width of the crescent was decided to be the same as a half or the length of the base of a triangle to be removed. After partial mastectomy, the inner and outer glandular flaps were horizontally sutured. The operations were simple to perform and were not associated with any postoperative complications. Oncoplastic breast surgery combining partial mastectomy with triangular skin resection and re-centralization of the nipple-areola was useful for patients with breast cancer on the upper quadrant area of non-ptotic breasts.

Abstract
Aberrantly expressed microRNA (miRNA) are known to disrupt intracellular RNA networks in cancer cells. Exploring miRNA‐dependent molecular networks is a major challenge in cancer research. In this study, we performed RNA‐sequencing of breast cancer (BrCa) clinical specimens to identify tumor‐suppressive miRNA in BrCa. In total, 64 miRNA were identified as candidate tumor‐suppressive miRNA in BrCa cells. Analysis of our BrCa signature revealed that several miRNA duplexes (guide strand/passenger strand) derived from pre‐miRNA were downregulated in BrCa tissues (e.g. miR‐99a‐5p/‐3p, miR‐101‐5p/‐3p, miR‐126‐5p/‐3p, miR‐143‐5p/‐3p, and miR‐144‐5p/‐3p). Among these miRNA, we focused on miR‐101‐5p, the passenger strand of pre‐miR‐101, and investigated its tumor‐suppressive roles and oncogenic targets in BrCa cells. Low expression of miR‐101‐5p predicted poor prognosis in patients with BrCa (overall survival rate: P = 0.0316). Ectopic expression of miR‐101‐5p attenuated aggressive phenotypes, e.g. proliferation, migration, and invasion, in BrCa cells. Finally, we identified seven putative oncogenic genes (i.e. High Mobility Group Box 3, Epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1, GINS complex subunit 1 (GINS1), Tumor Protein D52, Serine/Arginine‐Rich Splicing Factor Kinase 1, Vang‐like protein 1, and Mago Homolog B) regulated by miR‐101‐5p in BrCa cells. The expression of these target genes was associated with the molecular pathogenesis of BrCa. Furthermore, we explored the oncogenic roles of GINS1, whose function had not been previously elucidated, in BrCa cells. Aberrant expression of GINS1 mRNA and protein was observed in BrCa clinical specimens, and high GINS1 expression significantly predicted poor prognosis in patients with BrCa (overall survival rate: P = 0.0126). Knockdown of GINS1 inhibited the malignant features of BrCa cells. Thus, identification of tumor‐suppressive miRNA and molecular networks controlled by these miRNA in BrCa cells may be an effective strategy for elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis of this disease.

Abstract
Background
Calcified nodule (CN) in coronary artery is known to be a significant factor for stent underexpansion, however, its baseline characteristics and long-term prognosis is unclear.
Method
421 consecutive severe calcified lesions (Defined as maximum calcium arc >180 degrees) which underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were analyzed between January 2013 and December 2017. We investigated baseline characteristics and OCT parameter (maximum arc of calcium, maximum thickness of calcium, and length of calcium) and long-term clinical outcome (Major adverse cardiac event (MACE), any cause of death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and target vessel failure (TVF)). Median follow up period was 33.7 months.
Result
CN was seen in 22.3% (94 lesions) of all severe calcified lesions. Baseline characteristics and OCT parameters were significantly different in CN and non-CN groups (Hemodialysis; 23.6% vs. 14.1%, p=0.03, Multivessel Disease; 57.4% vs. 44.6, p=0.03, maximum arc of calcium; 305.4 vs. 286.1, p=0.02, maximum thickness of calcium (μm); 1206.2 vs 1123.8, p=0.01, length of calcium (mm); 24.6 vs. 19.0, p=0.01). CN lesions was strongly associated poor long-term clinical outcome (MACE; 50.5% vs. 25.7%, p<0.01), any cause of death; 18.1% vs. 9.5%, p=0.02, AMI; 7.4% vs. 2.4%, p=0.02, TVF; 38.3% vs. 19.2%, p<0.01).
Conclusion
Hemodialysis, multivessel disease and abundant calcium component may have accompanied with CN which may result in poor long-term prognosis.

Abstract
Background
Vascular response after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation depends not only on stent design but also on vulnerability of target coronary lesions. In this study, non-obstructive coronary angioscopy (CAS) revealed vascular response after two types of biodegradable polymer (BP) DES implantation into patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable angina pectoris (SAP).
Methods
Eighteen Nobori BP biolimus-eluting stents (BP-BES) were successfully implanted into 15 patients (9 ACS and 9 SAP lesions). Twenty-three Ultimaster BP sirolimus-eluting stents (BP-SES) were implanted into 16 patients (6 ACS and 17 SAP lesions). At one year after stenting, CAS semi-quantified degree of neointimal stent coverage (NSC) into 4 grades (0, no coverage; 1, thin coverage; 2, thick coverage; 3, embedded in thick neointima and invisible). When NSC through a stent was composed of plural grades, CAS determined dominant, maximum and minimum NSC grades. Heterogeneity index was defined as subtraction of minimum from maximum grade. CAS also semi-quantified degree of yellow plaques (YP) into 3 grades (0, light; 1, dense; 2, glittering yellow). CAS detected presence of in-stent mural thrombi (ISMT).
Results
At one year after BP-BES implantation: 1) There was no significant difference with regards to dominant NSC between ACS and SAP lesions (1.00±0.50 vs. 0.89±0.60); 2) Heterogeneity index was greater in ACS than in SAP (1.22±0.44 vs. 0.67±0.50, P=0.02); 3) YP grade was greater in ACS than in SAP (1.89±0.33 vs. 1.00±1.00, P=0.02); and 4) We found one ISMT in ACS lesions and two ISMT in SAP lesions. At one year after BP-SES implantation: 1) There was neither significant difference between ACS and SAP lesions with regards to dominant NSC (1.67±1.21 vs. 1.53±1.01), with regards to heterogeneity index (0.50±0.55 vs. 0.35±0.49), nor with regards to YP grade (1.33±1.51 vs. 0.88±0.99); and 2) We found ISMT neither in ACS nor in SAP lesions.
Conclusions
For BP-SES implantation, vascular response at ACS lesions was similar to SAP lesions. Even one year after BP-BES implantation, however, plaque vulnerability appeared to remain in ACS lesions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent reports show that stenting for coronary calcified nodule (CN) resulted in frequent in-stent restenosis, however, its predictors are unclear.
Method
117 consecutive calcified nodule lesions which underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI were analyzed between January 2013 and March 2018. We investigated baseline characteristics and OCT parameter in CN site (Arc of CN, Lumen area and Symmetry index before and after PCI).
Result
CN site in-stent restenosis was seen 35 lesions (29.9%). Baseline characteristics was significantly different between restenosis group and non-restenosis group (Age; 68.9y.o vs. 73.3y.o, p=0.01, diabetes mellitus; 80.0% vs. 57.3%, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD); 74.3% vs. 36.6%, Hemodialysis; 54.3% vs. 12.2%). Arc of CN before PCI in restenosis group was larger than that in non-restenosis group (122.7 vs. 110.0 degrees, p=0.01). Post stent symmetry index in restenosis group was smaller than that in non-restenosis group (0.64 vs. 0.75, p<0.01).
Conclusion
Younger patients, diabetes mellitus, CKD, hemodialysis, arc of CN before PCI, post stent symmetry index may be predictors of CN site restenosis.

Abstract
Background: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus that causes adult T-cell
leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), an aggressive form of T-cell malignancy. The relationship between HTLV-1 infection and
cancer progression is controversial. HTLV-1 encodes oncogenic protein TAX1 and it is hypothesized that HTLV-1
infection is associated with breast cancer progression. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between HTLV-1
infection and clinicopathological factors in breast cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 610 patients
with primary breast cancer who underwent surgical treatment without preoperative chemotherapy at Kagoshima
University Hospital between January 2001 and January 2015. Results: When patients with and without HTLV-1 infection
were compared, no differences in clinicopathological factors were observed, except for age. Disease-free survival and
overall survival rates did not differ between groups. Conclusions: HTLV-1–positive patients were significantly older
than HTLV-1–negative patients. It was supposed to be due to the fact that the HTLV-1 infection rate is decreasing. Any
effect of HTLV-1 infection on breast cancer progression appears to be negligibly small.

Abstract
Apocrine papillary lesion (APL) is difficult to diagnose as benign or malignant. We experienced an APL remaining in the body for 22 years. We present a case of a 71-year-old woman who had undergone excisional biopsy 22 years previously at the first hospital that she visited. 1 year previously, she had undergone fine-needle aspiration cytology at a second hospital, and the lesion was diagnosed as potentially malignant. She underwent core-needle biopsy at a third hospital, but whether the lesion was benign or malignant could not be definitively diagnosed. We performed right mastectomy and sentinel lymph-node biopsy, because her tumor was suspected to be malignant based on imaging means, and malignancy could not be ruled out on either biopsy or cytology. The histopathological diagnosis was tiny foci of apocrine proliferative lesion with massive hemorrhagic necrosis and no tumor metastasis in two sentinel lymph nodes. Retrospectively, we compared all of the patient's previous specimens with the present ones, and applied the recent pathological diagnostic criteria. Although the biopsy specimen excised 22 years ago suggested an encapsulated apocrine papillary carcinoma or a papilloma with apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ, neither infiltration nor metastasis has occurred. Furthermore, neither the pathological findings nor the clinical behavior has changed over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A metabolic shift to glycolysis is reportedly involved in radioresistance. We examined whether pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), which can detect enhanced glucose uptake, was able to predict the therapeutic response to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). METHODS Of 125 PC patients (75 unresectable and 50 borderline resectable), 37 and 26 underwent induction chemotherapy before CRT and surgical resection after CRT, respectively. FDG-PET was performed at three different institutions. RESULTS Of the 88 patients who underwent upfront CRT, 31 (35%), 34 (39%), and 23 (26%) showed a partial response (PR), stable disease, and progressive disease, respectively. The tumor PR rate was an independent factor associated with longer overall survival (OS) on multivariate analysis. We evaluated the optimal cut-off of maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) at initial diagnosis to detect the tumor PR rate at the three institutions separately. The SUVmax was independently associated with tumor response rate on multivariate analysis. In the low SUVmax group, induction chemotherapy had no significant impact on OS. In contrast, induction chemotherapy was significantly associated with longer OS in the high SUVmax group. CONCLUSIONS FDG-PET SUVmax was significantly associated with the therapeutic response to CRT in PC patients. Moreover, induction chemotherapy may improve the prognosis of patients with a high SUVmax tumor.

Abstract
Background The incidence of radiation-associated angiosarcoma (RAA) of the breast has been increasing, and its prognosis is reportedly poor. It is important to remove tumor tissues completely to prevent recurrence. Case presentation We report two cases of patients with RAA of the breast. Both patients had a nodule in their remaining breast a few years after undergoing breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy for breast cancer. The nodules were diagnosed as angiosarcoma by skin biopsy and open biopsy, respectively. To determine the extent of lesion spread, mapping biopsy was performed before surgery. Both patients underwent mastectomy, extensive skin resection, and split skin grafting. Pathological findings showed that their tumors could be completely resected. After surgery, chemotherapy was performed. Conclusion In our cases, no local or distant recurrence has been detected in either patient for over 4 years. We identified the range of tumor invasion by preoperative mapping biopsy and completely resected all tumor tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for early recurrence and assess the prognostic benefit of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for resectable pancreatic cancer. METHODS Patients with radiographically resectable pancreatic cancer according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines were enrolled. We regarded recurrence within 6 months after surgery as early recurrence. RESULTS This study involved 115 patients (80 who underwent upfront surgery and 35 who received NAT). Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 greater than 85 U/mL and p53 expression in 0 or more than 80% of tumor cells were independent risk factors for early recurrence after upfront surgery. We classified patients into a high-risk group (1 or 2 risk factors) and a low-risk group (no risk factors). In the high-risk group, the median overall survival time of patients with NAT was significantly longer than that of patients without NAT (P = 0.028). By contrast, the median overall survival time was not different according to NAT in the low-risk group. CONCLUSIONS Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and p53 expression of the primary tumor could be predictors of early recurrence in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. The prognosis of patients with a high risk of early recurrence may be improved using NAT.

Abstract
We previously used RNA sequencing to establish the microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We found that both strands of pre-miR-148a (miR-148a-5p: the passenger strand and miR-148a-3p: the guide strand) were downregulated in cancer tissues. Ectopic expression of miR-148a-5p and miR-148a-3p significantly inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion, indicating that both strands of pre-miR-148a had tumor-suppressive roles in PDAC cells. In silico database and genome-wide gene expression analyses identified a total of 15 genes that were putative targets regulated by these miRNAs. High expression of miR-148a-5p targets (PHLDA2, LPCAT2 and AP1S3) and miR-148a-3p targets (SMA, ENDOD1 and UHMK1) was associated with poor prognosis of patients with PDAC. Moreover, knockdown of PHLDA2 expression inhibited cancer cell aggressiveness, suggesting PHLDA2 acted as an oncogene in PDAC cells. Involvement of the passenger strand of pre-miR-148a (miR-148-5p) is a new concept in cancer research. Novel approaches that identify tumor-suppressive miRNA regulatory networks in lethal PDAC might provide new prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for this disease.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has been clinically introduced for several malignancies, and its effectiveness has been confirmed by clinical trials. In particular, programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) are widely known as important immune checkpoint molecules associated with the mechanisms of immune escape by malignant tumor cells. In addition, liquid biopsy of blood specimens has the clinical benefit of providing a simple, repeatable sampling tool. Non-invasive liquid biopsy has recently been spotlighted as a promising approach to predicting tumor progression and prognosis. This study assessed the clinical significance of PD-L1 mRNA expression in blood specimens obtained from patients with gastric cancer. Peripheral blood specimens were collected before treatment from 124 patients with gastric cancer. The PD-L1 mRNA expression was evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. Programmed death-ligand 1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in patients with advanced gastric cancer than in patients with early gastric cancer (P = .002). Moreover, PD-L1 expression correlated significantly with depth of tumor invasion, distant metastasis, and stage (P = .001, P < .001, and P < .001, respectively). Patients with high PD-L1 expression showed significantly poorer prognosis than those with low PD-L1 expression (P < .0001). Multivariate analysis indicated PD-L1 expression as an independent prognostic factor. Expression of PD-L1 in peripheral blood may offer an immunological predictor of tumor progression and disease outcome in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background: After the failure of a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (nsAI) for postmenopausal patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer (BC), it is unclear which of the various kinds of endocrine monotherapy is the most appropriate. In a previous report it was found that toremifene 120 mg (TOR 120), a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SREM), was superior to steroidal AI in terms of progression-free survival after ns-AI in the Hi-FAIR ex trial. A phase II randomized trial of TOR 120 versus fulvestrant 500 mg (FUL 500), a selective estrogen receptor down regulator (SERD), was also conducted to select the most promising endocrine monotherapy after ns-AI in advanced/metastatic BC(Study registry number: UMIN000010087).
Patients and Methods: Postmenopausal women (n=106) with advanced/metastatic hormone-receptor positive BC from October 2011 to September 2014 were enrolled in this study. Fifty-three of the patients were randomly assigned to the TOR 120 (120 mg daily p.) group and 53 of the patients were randomly assigned to the FUL 500 group. In the FUL 500 group they were administered 500 mg of fulvestrant intramuscularly (im) on day 0, then 500 mg im on days 14 and 28 and every 28 days thereafter). If treatment failure occurred in either of the randomly assigned groups the patients were then removed and treated accordingly. A full analysis set was targeted for all cases that received the protocol treatment even once (TOR 120 (n=53) and FUL 500 (n=52)). The primary end point was the clinical benefit rate (CBR). The secondary end points were the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to chemotherapy (TTCT), overall survival (OS), toxicity, and CBR, ORR and PFS after crossover of non-assigned treatment.
Results: A median follow up period of 30 months revealed that the CBR of FUL 500 (57.7%) tended to be superior to the CBR of TOR 120 (45.3%), the odds ratio (OR) was 1.70 (95% CI 0.74–3.62), and the median PFS was 7.8 months in the FUL 500 group and 5.8 months in the TOR 120 group. Moreover the hazard ratio (HR) was 0.79 (95% CI 0.52–1.21). However, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of ORR (17.7% and 15.1%, respectively), TTCT (13.3 months vs. 17.7 months, HR = 0.94 (95%CI 0.57 – 1.53)), and OS (33.4 months vs. not reached HR 1.29; 95% CI 0.80–2.09). At the cross-over phase, 33 and 24 patients after failure of assigned treatment were treated with FUL 500 and TOR 120, respectively. The CBR and PFS of FUL 500 after TOR 120 was better than that of TOR 120 after FUL 500 (CBR; 42.4% vs. 20.8%, OR = 0.33, 95%CI 0.09 – 1.11, median PFS; 6.2 months vs. 3.4 months; HR = 1.95, 95%CI 1.08–3.51). No difference between the two groups was observed in PFS from randomization to the end of the crossover phase. Moreover, there were few severe adverse events in either of the two groups.
Conclusions: FUL 500 used as a subsequent endocrine therapy for advanced/metastatic BC patients who failed ns-AI could potentially be more effective than TOR 120. However, the efficacy of SERM after failure of FUL 500 may be limited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the prognostic relevance of glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT-1), which is a key regulator of the glucose metabolism. In particular, the study aimed to examine the association between GLUT-1 expression and the therapeutic effect of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS Patients with PDAC were enrolled in the study. Patients with distant metastases and those who received only chemotherapy as treatment were excluded from the study. Specimens for immunohistochemical evaluations were obtained through surgical resection and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the primary tumor before any treatment. RESULTS This study included 197 patients. Of these 197 patients, 100 underwent upfront surgery, and 97 received neoadjuvant CRT (NACRT), which was performed mainly for patients with locally advanced tumors. Of the 97 patients who received NACRT, 21 later underwent surgical resection. For the patients who underwent upfront surgery, low GLUT-1 expression was an independent factor for a better prognosis. For the patients who underwent NACRT, low GLUT-1 expression was significantly associated with greater tumor size reduction, a higher resection rate, and a better prognosis. Additionally, GLUT-1 expression was significantly increased after NACRT treatment. CONCLUSIONS Among the patients with PDAC, those with low GLUT-1 expression in the primary tumor had a better prognosis those with high GLUT-1 expression. Moreover, the patients with low GLUT-1 expression displayed a better therapeutic response to NACRT.

Abstract
As an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), 2, 4 and 7, gremlin1 plays a role in regulating organogenesis, tissue differentiation and angiogenesis. However, there is little information regarding gremlin1 in gastrointestinal cancer. We attempted to clarify how gremlin1 expression affects the clinical features and biological properties of gastric cancer. A total of 232 gastric cancer patients who received R0 gastrectomy at Kagoshima University Hospital were enrolled. Gremlin1 expression in gastric cancer was detected by immunohistochemical and western blotting methods. Correlations between clinicopathological parameters and gremlin1 expression were analyzed. Gremlin1 was identified in the cytoplasm and nucleus of all gastric cancer cell lines and some regions of surgical specimens of gastric cancer. One hundred and seventeen of the 232 patients (50.4%) were classified as gremlin1-positive based on gremlin1 expression. Gremlin1 positivity was correlated with shallower tumor depth, smaller tumor size, less nodal involvement and vessel invasion (p < 0.05). The 5-year survival rate of the gremlin1-positive group was 81%, which was significantly higher than the gremlin1-negative group (p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that gremlin1 was not selected as an independent prognostic marker. Gremlin1 expression in gastric cancer may be a useful prognostic marker that is involved with the BMP signaling pathway. Furthermore, gremlin1 may have clinical use as a diagnostic and treatment tool.

Abstract
Metastatic breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBCs), a highly aggressive tumor subtype, have a particularly poor prognosis. Multiple reports demonstrate that altered content of the multicopy mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in primary breast tumors correlates with poor prognosis. We earlier reported that mtDNA copy number reduction in breast cancer cell lines induces an epithelial-mesenchymal transition associated with metastasis. However, it is unknown whether the breast tumor subtypes (TNBC, Luminal and HER2+) differ in the nature and amount of mitochondrial defects and if mitochondrial defects can be used as a marker to identify tumors at risk for metastasis. By analyzing human primary tumors, cell lines and the TCGA dataset, we demonstrate a high degree of variability in mitochondrial defects among the tumor subtypes and TNBCs, in particular, exhibit higher frequency of mitochondrial defects, including reduced mtDNA content, mtDNA sequence imbalance (mtRNR1:ND4), impaired mitochondrial respiration and metabolic switch to glycolysis which is associated with tumorigenicity. We identified that genes involved in maintenance of mitochondrial structural and functional integrity are differentially expressed in TNBCs compared to non-TNBC tumors. Furthermore, we identified a subset of TNBC tumors that contain lower expression of epithelial splicing regulatory protein (ESRP)-1, typical of metastasizing cells. The overall impact of our findings reported here is that mitochondrial heterogeneity among TNBCs can be used to identify TNBC patients at risk of metastasis and the altered metabolism and metabolic genes can be targeted to improve chemotherapeutic response.

Abstract
Although postoperative management of gastric cancer is determined by pathological stage based on the tumor-node-metastasis classification, predicting disease recurrence and prognosis in patients undergoing gastrectomy is clinically difficult. We investigated the depth of tumor invasion and tumor size in resected specimens from patients with gastric cancer and assessed the clinical utility of primary tumor score (PTS) calculated by tumor depth and size as a prognostic marker. We classified 247 patients with gastric cancer into three groups based on cut-off values for deeper tumor invasion (pT2–T4) and larger tumor size (≥ 45 mm) as a PTS of 2 (both abnormalities), 1 (one abnormality), or 0 (neither abnormality). PTS correlated significantly with lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, and stage (P < 0.0001 each). Survival differences among groups based on PTS were significant (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis identified PTS alone as an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.0363). PTS derived from primary tumor information alone is a potentially useful marker for predicting tumor progression and prognosis in postoperative patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
Disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow (DCBM) is characterized by diffuse infiltrative growth of tumor cells in the bone marrow and is associated with systemic hematological disorders. Bone marrow metastases from breast cancer are not rare, and they may lead to serious life-threatening conditions when there is an associated hematological disorder. Therefore, DCBM necessitates a definitive diagnosis and prompt systemic therapy. We herein present 4 such cases and a review of the previous relevant literature. Bone marrow biopsy is an effective method for diagnosing DCBM, and it may also be useful for selecting the optimal therapy. The malignant cells in the bone marrow biopsy specimens from all 4 patients were negative for progesterone receptor expression, and in 1 case, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2/neu expression was discordant between the primary tumor and the bone marrow metastases. Patients with DCBM often require granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and/or blood transfusions due to a DCBM-related hematological disorder. Although systemic chemotherapy for DCBM may temporarily exacerbate the need for hematological support, systemic chemotherapy may be effective for DCBM in breast cancer patients. In our experience, endocrine therapy has also been proven effective for DCBM. The aim of the present study was to review the clinical characteristics and the treatments used in 4 breast cancer patients with DCBM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) resection is performed as part of radical cholecystectomy for gallbladder (GB) cancer. However, the indication for EHBD resection is still controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic value of this procedure. METHODS Patients who underwent surgical resection for GB cancer with curative intent were enrolled. We divided GB cancer into two categories based on the tumor location: proximal-type and distal-type tumors. The former refers to tumors involving the neck or cystic duct, while the latter comprises tumors located between the body and fundus. RESULTS This study included 80 patients, 40 each with proximal- and distal-type tumors. Proximal tumor location, lymph node metastasis, and a serum carcinoembryonic antigen level > 5.0 ng/mL were independent predictors of poor prognosis. The 5-year survival rates of patients with proximal-type and distal-type tumors were 33.3 and 73.5%, respectively. Patients with proximal-type tumors showed significantly lower rates of R0 resection, more frequently had ≥ 3 metastatic lymph nodes, and exhibited a higher rate of perineural invasion. EHBD resection improved prognoses only in patients with proximal-type tumors but not in those with distal-type tumors. In the former group, EHBD resection significantly reduced the rate of local or regional lymph node recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Extended cholecystectomy with EHBD resection should be performed for patients with GB cancer involving the neck and cystic duct to reduce local and regional lymph node recurrence and achieve better prognosis.

Abstract
We analysed the RNA sequence-based microRNA (miRNA) signature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Aberrantly expressed miRNAs were successfully identified in this signature. Using the PDAC signature, we focused on 4 clustered miRNAs, miR-216a-5p, miR-216a-3p, miR-216b-5p and miR-216b-3p on human chromosome 2p16.1. All members of the miR-216 cluster were significantly reduced in PDAC specimens. Ectopic expression of these miRNAs suppressed cancer cell aggressiveness, suggesting miR-216 cluster as anti-tumour miRNAs in PDAC cells. The impact of miR-216b-3p (passenger strand of pre-miR-216b) on cancer cells is still ambiguous. Forkhead box Q1 (FOXQ1) was directly regulated by miR-216b-3p and overexpression of FOXQ1 was confirmed in clinical specimens. High expression of FOXQ1 predicted a shorter survival of patients with PDAC by Kaplan–Meier analysis. Loss-of-function assays showed that cancer cell migration and invasion activities were significantly reduced by siFOXQ1 transfectants. We investigated pathways downstream from FOXQ1 by using genome-wide gene expression analysis. Identification of the miR-216-3p/FOXQ1-mediated network in PDAC should enhance understanding of PDAC aggressiveness at the molecular level.

Abstract
Analysis of our microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) revealed that microRNA-217 (miR-217) was significantly reduced in cancer tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumor roles of miR-217 in PDAC cells and to identify miR-217-mediated molecular pathways involved in PDAC aggressiveness. The expression levels of miR-217 were significantly reduced in PDAC clinical specimens. Ectopic expression of miR-217 significantly suppressed cancer cell migration and invasion. Transcription of actin-binding protein Anillin (coded by ANLN) was detected by our in silico and gene expression analyses. Moreover, luciferase reporter assays showed that ANLN was a direct target of miR-217 in PDAC cells. Overexpression of ANLN was detected in PDAC clinical specimens by real-time PCR methods and immunohistochemistry. Interestingly, Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that high expression of ANLN predicted shorter survival in patients with PDAC by TCGA database analysis. Silencing ANLN expression markedly inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion capabilities of PDAC cell lines. We further investigated ANLN-mediated downstream pathways in PDAC cells. "Focal adhesion" and "Regulation of actin binding protein" were identified as ANLN-modulated downstream pathways in PDAC cells. Identification of antitumor miR-217/ANLN-mediated PDAC pathways will provide new insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the aggressive course of PDAC.

Abstract
Patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is received chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy for clinical management. However, it is difficult to predict tumor response and prognosis using blood markers before starting treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pre‐treatment plasma fibrinogen and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with advanced ESCC treated with chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy, and to assess the clinical utility of a combined score using these blood markers, named as the F‐NLR (fibrinogen and NLR) score, as a predictor of tumor response and prognosis. A total of 98 advanced ESCC patients, treated with chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy, were classified into three groups: F‐NLR score of 2, having both hyperfibrinogenemia (>400 mg/dL) and high NLR (>3.0), score of 1, one of these hematological abnormalities, and score of 0, having neither hyperfibrinogenemia nor high NLR. Fibrinogen and NLR were significantly higher in the progressive disease (PD) group than the non‐PD group (P = 0.0419, and P = 0.0001, respectively). A significantly higher F‐NLR score was found in the PD group than the non‐PD group (P = 0.0140). Overall survival was significantly lower in patients with an F‐NLR score of 2 than in those with an F‐NLR score of 0 or 1 (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that the F‐NLR score was one of the independent prognostic factors (P = 0.0081). Our study demonstrates that the F‐NLR score is promising as a predictive marker for therapeutic effects and prognosis in patients with advanced ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among gastrointestinal cancers, the prognosis of pancreatic cancer is one of the poorest, with a large number of patients being diagnosed with unresectable tumors at the first visit to a doctor. The aims of the present study were to investigate the circulating tumor cells (CTC) in peripheral blood in order to assess their clinical significance in patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS Sixty-five patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were enrolled. Borderline resectable pancreatic tumor patients were 9, and Unresectable patients were 56. The CellSearch system was used to isolate and enumerate CTCs. RESULTS CTCs were identified in 21 out of 65 patients (32.3%) with only unresectable tumors. The overall survival rate was significantly lower in unresectable patients with than in those without CTCs (P = 0.0051). CTC positivity was significantly higher in patients with than in those without liver metastasis. A multivariate analysis identified the presence or absence of CTCs as an independent prognostic factor. Follow-up blood specimens were obtained from 40 patients treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. The incidences of CTC positivity at three months after beginning of treatments in patients with progressive disease and stable disease or a partial response were 45.4% and 24.1%, respectively. The overall survival rate was significantly lower in patients with than in those without CTCs even after treatments (P = 0.045). CONCLUSION CTC numbers represents a useful tool for predicting prognoses and therapeutic responses to chemotherapy among patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic thyroidectomy is a well-established surgical technique that is mainly performed for benign thyroid disease. We considered that endoscopic surgery could also be widely indicated for the treatment of thyroid cancer. We herein describe our new bidirectional approach of video-assisted neck surgery (BAVANS) for complete central node dissection in endoscopic thyroid cancer surgery. METHODS BAVANS involves two different directional pathways to the cervical lesion. Before lymph node dissection, we perform endoscopic thyroidectomy via a conventional gasless precordial or axillary approach. After thyroidectomy, the surgeon repositions by the head of the patient and inserts three ports in front of the upper neck lesion in the submandibular area to approach the paratracheal lesion from an overhead-to-caudal direction. RESULTS BAVANS allows for an excellent craniocaudal view and easy access to the peritracheal lymph nodes. Sixteen patients with papillary thyroid cancer underwent BAVANS and progressed satisfactorily after surgery. Of those patients, eight underwent total or near total thyroidectomy, and five patients underwent bilateral central node dissection. The average number of retrieved lymph nodes with unilateral central node dissection was nine, which was higher than that achieved with conventional open surgery. All patients began oral intake within 5 h after surgery. Postoperative Horner syndrome occurred in one patient. No other complications were noted. CONCLUSIONS BAVANS is a very effective surgical procedure that many endoscopic surgeons can perform safely and easily. It has both a cosmetic advantage and excellent curability in endoscopic thyroid cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Despite the fact that breast cancer patients are generally administered systemic chemotherapy after surgical treatment, predictive factors that allow optimization of chemotherapy are needed. The histoculture drug response assay (HDRA) is a clinically practical in vitro drug-response assay for identifying optimal anticancer agents. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-eight primary breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment without receiving systemic neoadjuvant therapy were analyzed. We retrospectively examined the relationships between clinicopathological factors and the HDRA results of 5 anticancer agents (mitomycin C (MMC), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin hydrochloride (ADM), cisplatin (CDDP) and paclitaxel (PTX)). RESULTS The relationships between the inhibition rates of anticancer drugs and clinicopathological factors were not significant, except for nuclear grade and venous invasion with the inhibition rate of 5-FU. We also established the threshold inhibition rate for PTX. The paclitaxel inhibition rate was significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS). CONCLUSION HDRA results were independent from the clinicopathological factors of breast cancer patients demonstrating that individualized treatment is needed.

Abstract
Background Advanced gastric cancer in the lower third of the stomach often results in stricture of the gastric cavity and digestive symptoms. Gastrojejunostomy has been suggested to improve such symptoms, and the advent of new anticancer agents for gastric cancer has improved the response rate of the disease, which makes it possible to perform R0 gastrectomy in part of patients with stage IV gastric cancer. We experienced a rare case in which a patient with stage IV gastric cancer and cancerous pyloric stenosis was treated with R0 surgery after undergoing a gastrojejunal bypass procedure and multidisciplinary treatment. There have not been any previous reports about cases in which a previous gastrojejunostomy was utilized as a reconstruction route during distal gastrectomy in a patient with gastric cancer that had been treated with chemotherapy and/or CRT. Case presentation An 80-year-old female with advanced gastric cancer and pyloric stenosis was admitted to Kagoshima University Hospital. As peritoneal washing cytology produced a positive result, laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy (modified Devine procedure) was performed to improve food passage, and S-1 (100 mg/body, days 1–14) plus paclitaxel (120 mg/body, days 1 and 15) was administered. Although the tumor was temporarily reduced in size, an abdominal computed tomography scan obtained after four courses of chemotherapy showed progressive disease. Thus, chemoradiotherapy (56 Gy, S-1: 60 mg/body, CDDP: 5 mg/body, days 1–5) was indicated. Marked tumor shrinkage and negative peritoneal washing cytological results were achieved. Curative gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was performed. We carried out distal gastrectomy and lymph node dissection, and the gastrojejunostomy produced as a gastric bypass in the previous operation was preserved. The patient has not suffered a tumor relapse in 4 years since the surgery. Conclusions We surgeons increase a chance to perform R0 gastrectomy for stage IV gastric cancer following intensive chemotherapy and/or CRT. We should choose proper position of gastrojejunostomy in producing alimentary bypass for stage IV gastric cancer patients to facilitate curative surgery.

Abstract
Surgical treatment offering both cure and good cosmetic outcomes is important in patients with breast cancer. Mastectomy followed by breast reconstruction is performed with a combination of autologous tissue or implant and can be immediate or delayed in one stage or two stages, respectively. Breast surgeons and plastic surgeons should understand the characteristic indications for surgery and select the appropriate procedure for each patient. Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) at the time of breast-conserving surgery is classified into two main methods, volume replacement and volume displacement. It is necessary for clinicians to understand both the advantages and disadvantages of oncoplastic procedures. The problem of some OBS methods remaining ineligible for coverage by national health insurance in Japan remains unresolved, but OBS will become more important as a novel method offering a balance between cancer curability and excellent cosmetic results in the near future.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the relationship between the surgical margin status of the bile duct and the prognosis and recurrence of extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) cancer. METHODS The clinical data of 100 patients who underwent surgery for EHBD cancer between February 2002 and September 2014 were analyzed. The ductal margin status was classified into the following three categories: negative (D-N), positive with carcinoma in situ (D-CIS), and positive with invasive carcinoma (D-INV). RESULTS The number of patients with D-N, D-CIS, and D-INV was 69, 16, and 15, respectively. Local recurrence rates of patients with D-CIS (56.3 %) and D-INV (66.7 %) were significantly higher compared to those of patients with D-N (10.1 %; P < 0.001). D-CIS was a significant predictor of shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS). Lymph node metastasis (P = 0.037) and D-INV (P = 0.008) were independent predictors of shorter disease-specific survival (DSS). The prognostic relevance of the ductal margin status was high, particularly in patients without lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION The surgical margin status of the bile duct was significantly associated with RFS, DSS, and the recurrence site.

Abstract
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> We assessed the clinical applicability of the F-NLR score, which is based on fibrinogen (F) and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) to predict the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy on advanced gastric cancer and the prognoses of patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sixty-eight patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with first-line chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy were classified into two groups based on tumor response. Furthermore, we categorized patients according to cutoff F-NLR scores of 2 [hyperfibrinogenemia (>400 mg/dl) and high NLR (>3.0)], 1 [one of these hematological abnormalities], and 0 [neither hyperfibrinogenemia nor high NLR]. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 27 patients had progressive disease (PD) and 41 did not. The F-NLR scores were significantly higher in the PD than in the non-PD group (p = 0.003). Survival was significantly shorter for patients with high F-NLR scores and GPS (p = 0.0071 and p = 0.0065, respectively). Multivariate analysis selected the F-NLR score as an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.017). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> A novel grading system based on F-NLR scores, as well as the GPS, appears to have value as a clinical predictor of the therapeutic response of advanced gastric cancer to chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and the prognoses of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferredoxin reductase (Fdxr) is the mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 NADPH reductase. Fdxr overexpression increases the sensitivity of tumor cells to apoptosis in response to chemotherapy through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The aim of the present study was to examine the Fdxr expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and determine if the expression is useful for predicting response to chemoradiation therapy (CRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fdxr expression in biopsy specimens from 50 patients before neoadjuvant CRT were immunohistochemically examined. Then, the correlation between Fdxr expression and response to CRT were analyzed. RESULTS Both clinically and histologically, significant correlations were found between positive Fdxr expression and favorable response to CRT. Furthermore, Fdxr was significantly correlated with postoperative outcomes and was found to be an independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSION Fdxr expression was found to be closely related to the effect of CRT and could predict the CRT outcome in patients with ESCC.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies in gastrointestinal tract cancers and even patients with early ESCC have a high metastatic potential. Difficulties are associated with clinically predicting tumor progression and prognosis based on conventional tumor markers determined from preoperative blood examinations. The aim of the present study was to measure plasma fibrinogen levels and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in blood and compare the clinical impacts of their combined values (fibrinogen and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio score-F-NLR score) and the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) in patients with ESCC.We classified 238 patients with ESCC based on cut-off values for hyperfibrinogenemia (>400 mg/dL) and high NLR (>3.0) as F-NLR scores of 2 (both of these hematological abnormalities), 1 (one of these abnormalities), or 0 (neither abnormality). We also categorized patients based on cut-off values for high C-reactive protein (CRP) (>0.5 mg/dL) and hypoalbuminemia (<3.8 g/dL) as mGPS of 2 (elevated CRP and hypoalbuminemia), 1 (either elevated CRP or hypoalbuminemia), or 0 (neither elevated CRP nor hypoalbuminemia).The F-NLR score correlated with the depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, tumor size, and stage (all P < 0.05). Prognoses among the groups based on the F-NLR score and mGPS significantly differed (all P < 0.001). A multivariate analysis identified the depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, and F-NLR score as independent prognostic factors (P = 0.002, P = 0.007, and P = 0.037, respectively).The results of the present study showed that the F-NLR score is a promising blood predictor for tumor progression and outcomes in patients with ESCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Method
After spraying with gGlu-HMRG reagent to the samples, we took images within 5 minutes and analyzed the fluorescence intensity of them. Comparing the changes of fluorescence intensity and pathological evaluations, we examined how this fluorescent method could reflect the pathological status in resected breast tissues (n = 108 from 36 cases), margins of breast conserving surgery specimens (n = 7 from 5 cases) and axillary lymph nodes (n = 149 from 38 cases).
Result
1. The sensitivity and specificity were 92% and 94% respectively for binary classification (normal / abnormal) of various breast tissues.
2. We could detect all malignant lesions in the surface of surgical margins of breast conserving surgery specimens. Additionally, we could detect large tumor-free lesions as fluorescent negative regions.
3. The sensitivity and specificity were 97% and 79% respectively for diagnosing metastatic and non-metastatic axillary lymph nodes.
Discussion and conclusion
It was well feasible to distinguish breast tumor tissues from normal surrounding tissues by this new method. Since it is simple and non-tissue-destructive, it could be readily adopted in the clinical setting. We anticipate that it will reduce costs and the burden on histopathology services in the intraoperative pathological diagnosis of breast conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy. This technical innovation enable us to visualize tumor cells in the body intraoperatively and evolve the cancer surgery that needs the complete resection of cancer cells.
