| 1 | Risk factors for lymph node metastasis in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms显示文摘BACKGROUND Although PNENs generally have a better prognosis than pancreatic cancers,some PNENs display malignant behavior including lymph node(LN)metastasis.Complete tumor resection can be the only potentially curative treatment for patients with resectable PNENs.However,the indications for LN dissection are still controversial.Over the last decade,minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic pancreatic surgery(LPS)has been increasingly performed for pancreatic tumors including PNENs.AIM To investigate the risk factors for LN metastasis in PNENs and to select appropriate patients for limited surgery by LPS.METHODS From April 2001 to December 2019,92 patients underwent pancreatic resection for PNENs at Kumamoto University Hospital.Finally,82 patients were enrolled in this study.Using perioperative factors,we examined the predictive factors for LN metastasis in PNENs.RESULTS Among the 82 patients,the percentage of LN metastasis according to the pathological findings was 12%(10/82 cases).The median tumor size was 12 mm(range:5-90 mm).The median tumor size in the LN-positive group(37 mm)was significantly larger than that in the LN-negative group(12 mm)(P=0.0001).Multivariate analyses revealed that larger tumor size(≥20 mm)was an independent risk factor for LN metastasis(odds ratio 16.8,P=0.0062).In patients with small tumors(≤10 mm),LN metastasis was not found.CONCLUSION Larger tumor size(≥20 mm)is an independent risk factor for LN metastasis in PNENs.In smaller PNENs(≤10 mm),we may be able to choose limited surgery without LN dissection. | Yosuke Nakao Hiromitsu Hayashi Yo-ichi Yamashita Ofuchi Takashi Kazuki Matsumura Norio Uemura Fumimasa Kitamura Rumi Itoyama Toshihiko Yusa Katsunobu Taki Tatsunori Miyata Takaaki Higashi Shigeki Nakagawa Hirohisa Okabe Katsunori Imai Hideo Baba | 2022 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2022,13,6: | 1 |

| 3 | Effects of ethanol and sex on propionate metabolism evaluated via a faster ^(13)C-propionate breath test in rats显示文摘BACKGROUND Alcoholism is regarded as a risk factor for vitamin B_(12)(VB_(12))deficiency.Because V B_(12) serves as a coenzyme of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase,a key enzyme in propionate metabolism,the ^(13)C-propionate breath test(PBT)has been studied as a non-invasive diagnostic modality for VB_(12) deficiency.However,the conventional PBT requires 2 h,which is inconvenient in clinical practice.We hypothesized that a faster PBT can be used to evaluate propionate metabolism and is more easily adaptable for clinical practice.AIM To evaluate a faster PBT for assessing the effects of long-term ethanol consumption on propionate metabolism in ethanol-fed rats(ERs).METHODS ERs were obtained by replacing standard drinking water(for control rats,CRs)with 16%ethanol solution in descendants of F344/DuCrj rats.Faster PBT was performed by administering ^(13)C-propionate aqueous solution to male and female ERs and CRs by inserting a metal tubule from the mouth to the stomach;exhaled gas was collected in a bag to measure its ^(13)CO_(2)/12CO_(2) isotope ratio via infrared isotope spectrometry.Serum VB_(12) and alanine transaminase(ALT)levels were measured via chemiluminescence immunoassay and the lactate dehydrogenaseultraviolet method,respectively.We evaluated statistical differences in mean body weight,change in ^(13)CO_(2)(Δ^(13)CO_(2)‰),peakΔ^(13)CO_(2)‰,and serum VB_(12) and ALT,between males and females and between ERs and CRs using the t-test and Mann-Whitney U test for normally and non-normally distributed variables,respectively.RESULTS Males weighed significantly more than females(P<0.001);CRs weighed significantly more than ERs(P<0.008).Δ^(13)CO_(2) reached a peak(C_(max))at 20 min and 30 min in females and males,respectively,decreasing after 20-30 min without rebound in all groups.Males had significantly higher C_(max) andΔ^(13)CO_(2) at 15-45 min than females(P<0.05;for all pairs).Propionate metabolism was enhanced in male ERs relative to male CRs,whereas metabolism did not differ markedly between ERs and CRs for females.Males had higher serum VB_(12) levels than females,without prominent differences between the ER and CR groups.Male CRs had notably higher ALT levels than male ERs.Thus,chronic ethanol consumption may trigger fatty acid production via intestinal bacteria and changes in gut microbiome composition.CONCLUSION Faster PBT shows that 16%ethanol consumption promotes propionate metabolism without inducing liver injury.This PBT may be used clinically to evaluate gut flora status. | Yosuke Sasaki Naoyuki Kawagoe Tsunehiko Imai Yoshihisa Urita | 2023 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2023,29,21: | 0 |
| 4 | Borderline resectable for colorectal liver metastases:Present status and future perspective显示文摘Surgical resection for colorectal liver metastases(CRLM)may offer the best opportunity to improve prognosis.However,only about 20% of CRLM cases are indicated for resection at the time of diagnosis(initially resectable),and the remaining cases are treated as unresectable(initially unresectable).Thanks to recent remarkable developments in chemotherapy,interventional radiology,and surgical techniques,the resectability of CRLM is expanding.However,some metastases are technically resectable but oncologically questionable for upfront surgery.In pancreatic cancer,such cases are categorized as'borderline resectable',and their definition and treatment strategies are explicit.However,in CRLM,although various poor prognosis factors have been identified in previous reports,no clear definition or treatment strategy for borderline resectable has yet been established.Since the efficacy of hepatectomy for CRLM was reported in the 1970 s,multidisciplinary treatment for unresectable cases has improved resectability and prognosis,and clarifying the definition and treatment strategy of borderline resectable CRLM should yield further improvement in prognosis.This review outlines the present status and the future perspective for borderline resectable CRLM,based on previous studies. | Yuki Kitano Hiromitsu Hayashi Takashi Matsumoto Shotaro Kinoshita Hiroki Sato Yuta Shiraishi Yosuke Nakao Takayoshi Kaida Katsunori Imai Yo-ichi Yamashita Hideo Baba | 2021 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2021,13,8: | 0 |
