| 1 | Liver metastasis is the only independent prognostic factor in AFP-producing gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigate differences between common gastric cancer andα-fetoprotein(AFP)-producing gastric cancer according to the presence or absence of liver metastasis.METHODS:Between 1997 and 2011,1299 patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer(GC)at our institute and their hospital records were reviewed retrospectively.Patients were immunohistochemically divided into two groups:23 patients(1.8%)with AFPproducing GC and 1276 patients(98.2%)without it.RESULTS:AFP-producing GC patients had a significantly higher incidence of deeper tumors,venous invasion,lymphatic invasion,lymph node metastasis,and liver metastasis and a poorer prognosis(P<0.005)than those without AFP-producing GC.However,multi-variate analysis revealed that AFP-positivity was not an independent prognostic factor.The prognosis of AFPproducing GC was similar to that of AFP-non producing GC according to the presence or absence of liver metastasis.Concerning recurrence,47.8%of patients(11/23)with AFP-producing GC and 20.0%of patients(256/1276)without AFP-producing GC exhibited recurrence.Liver metastasis[90.9%(10/11)]was the most prevalent in AFP-producing GC patients.Multivariate analysis revealed that liver metastasis was the only independent prognostic factor in AFP-producing GC(HR=17.6,95%CI:2.1-147.1;P=0.0081).CONCLUSION:AFP-producing GC is similar to common GC without liver metastasis,which should be specifically targeted in an effort to improve the prognosis of AFP-producing GC patients. | Shoji Hirajima Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Takeshi Kubota Kazuma Okamoto Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Hirotaka Konishi Hisashi Ikoma Eigo Otsuji | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，36： | 33 |
| 2 | Progression of remnant gastric cancer is associated with duration of follow-up following distal gastrectomy显示文摘AIM: To re-evaluate the recent clinicopathological features of remnant gastric cancer (RGC) and to develop desirable surveillance programs. METHODS: Between 1997 and 2008, 1149 patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Department of Digestive Surgery, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Japan. Of these, 33 patients underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy for RGC. Regarding the initial gastric disease, there were 19 patients with benign disease and 14 patients with gastric cancer. The hospital records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Concerning the initial gastric disease, the RGC group following gastric cancer had a shorter interval [P < 0.05; gastric cancer vs benign disease: 12 (2-22) vs 30 (4-51) years] and were more frequently reconstructed by Billroth-Ⅰ procedure than those following benign lesions (P < 0.001). Regarding reconstruction, RGC following Billroth-Ⅱ reconstruction showed a longer interval between surgical procedures [P < 0.001; Billroth-Ⅱ vs Billroth-Ⅰ: 32 (5-51) vs 12 (2-36) years] and tumors were more frequently associated with benign disease (P < 0.001) than those following Billroth-Ⅰ reconstruction. In tumor location of RGC, after Billroth-Ⅰ reconstruction, RGC occurred more frequently near the suture line and remnant gastric wall. After Billroth-Ⅱ reconstruction, RGC occurred more frequently at the anastomotic site. The duration of follow-up was significantly associated with the stage of RGC (P < 0.05). Patients diagnosed with early stage RGC such as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ tended to have been followed up almost every second year. CONCLUSION: Meticulous follow-up examination and early detection of RGC might lead to a better prognosis. Based on the initial gastric disease and the procedure of reconstruction, an appropriate follow-up interval and programs might enable early detection of RGC. | Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Kazuma Okamoto Daito Ikoma Masahiro Tsujiura Yukihisa Nishimura Yasutoshi Murayama Atsushi Shiozaki Hisashi Ikoma Yoshiaki Kuriu Masayoshi Nakanishi Hitoshi Fujiwara Toshiya Ochiai Yukihito Kokuba Eigo Otsuji | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，22： | 25 |
| 3 | Liquid biopsy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), with its high incidence and mortality rate, is one of the most common malignant tumors. Despite recent development of a diagnostic and treatment method, the prognosis of HCC remains poor. Therefore, to provide optimal treatment for each patient with HCC, more precise and effective biomarkers are urgently needed which could facilitate a more detailed individualized decision-making during HCC treatment, including the following; risk assessment, early cancer detection, prediction of treatment or prognostic outcome. In the blood of cancer patients, accumulating evidence about circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids has suggested their potent clinical utilities as novel biomarker. This concept, so-called 'liquid biopsy' is widely known as an alternative approach to cancer tissue biopsy. This method might facilitate a more sensitive diagnosis and better decision-making by obtaining genetic and epigenetic aberrations that are closely associated with cancer initiation and progression. In this article, we review recent developments based on the available literature on both circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids in cancer patients, especially focusing on Hepatocellular carcinoma. | wataru okajima shuhei komatsu daisuke ichikawa mahito miyamae takuma ohashi taisuke imamura jun kiuchi keiji nishibeppu tomohiro arita hirotaka konishi atsushi shiozaki ryo morimura hisashi ikoma kazuma okamoto eigo otsuji | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，31： | 22 |
| 4 | Optimal duration of the early and late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy显示文摘AIM: To determine the best cut-off value between the early and late recurrence periods after the initial recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS: The clinical records of 404 patients who underwent macroscopic curative hepatectomy for HCC between 1980 and 2010 were retrospectively examined. We divided the 252 patients experienced a recurrence of HCC into two groups, the early and late recurrence groups using the 'minimum P-value' approach. Factors for early recurrence were investigated using all 404 patients, and factors related to late recurrence were investigated in the patients who were confirmed to be recurrence free at the end of the early recurrence period.RESULTS: For the 252 patients who experienced a recurrence, the optimal cut-off value for differentiating early and late recurrence based on the overall survival after initial recurrence was 17 mo(5-year overall survival after initial recurrence: 15.4% vs 36.3%, P = 0.000018). Cox proportional hazard analysis identified early recurrence(P = 0.003) as one of the independent prognostic factors associated with overall survival after initial recurrence. A logistic regression model showed that an alpha-fetoprotein level > 100 ng/m L(P < 0.001), multiple HCC(P < 0.001), serosal invasion(P = 0.031), and microvascular invasion(P = 0.012) were independent factors associated with early recurrence, whereas the only independent factor related to late recurrence was liver cirrhosis(P = 0.002).CONCLUSION: Seventeen months after hepatectomy is a useful cut-off value between early and late recurrence of HCC based on the prognosis and different etiologies. | Yusuke Yamamoto Hisashi Ikoma Ryo Morimura Hirotaka Konishi Yasutoshi Murayama Shuhei Komatsu Atsushi Shiozaki Yoshiaki Kuriu Takeshi Kubota Masayoshi Nakanishi Daisuke Ichikawa Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Chouhei Sakakura Toshiya Ochiai Eigo Otsuji | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，4： | 14 |
| 5 | Risk factors to predict severe postoperative pancreatic fistula following gastrectomy for gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To allow the identification of high-risk postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF)patients with special reference to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula(ISGPF)classification.METHODS:Between 1997 and 2010,1341 consecutive patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Department of Digestive Surgery,Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine,Japan.Based on the preoperative diagnosis,total or distal gastrectomy and sufficient lymphadenectomy was performed,mainly according to the Japanese guidelines for the treatment of gastric cancer.Of these,35 patients(2.6%)were diagnosed with Grade B or C POPF according to the ISGPF classification and were treated intensively.The hospital records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively.RESULTS:Of 35 patients with severe POPF,17(49%)and 18(51%)patients were classified as Grade B and C POPF,respectively.From several clinical factors,the severity of POPF according to the ISGPF classification was significantly correlated with the duration of intensive POPF treatments(P=0.035).Regarding the clinical factors to distinguish extremely severe POPF,older patients(P=0.035,65 years≤vs<65 years old)and those with lower lymphocyte counts at the diagnosis of POPF(P=0.007,<1400/mm3vs 1400/mm3≤)were significantly correlated with Grade C POPF,and a low lymphocyte count was an independent risk factor by multivariate analysis[P=0.045,OR=10.45(95%CI:1.050-104.1)].CONCLUSION:Caution and intensive care are required for older POPF patients and those with lower lymphocyte counts at the diagnosis of POPF. | Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Kingo Kashimoto Takeshi Kubota Kazuma Okamoto Hirotaka Konishi Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Eigo Otsuji | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，46： | 13 |
| 6 | Surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with severe intratumoral arterioportal shunt显示文摘We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that caused a severe arterioportal shunt (APS). A 49-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage and HCC, and underwent endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS). He was then referred to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a lowdensity lesion in the posterior segment of the liver and an intratumoral APS, which caused portal hypertension. Although the patient underwent EVL, EIS, Hassab’s operation, and transcatheter arterial embolization for APS, he vomited blood due to rupture of esophagogastric varices. Right hepatectomy was performed for the treatment of HCC and APS, although the indocyanine green retention value at 15 min after intravenous injection was poor (30%). The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. Eventually, APS disappeared and the esophagogastric varices improved. | Hiromichi Ishii Teruhisa Sonoyama Shingo Nakashima Hiroyuki Nagata Atsushi Shiozaki Yoshiaki Kuriu Hisashi Ikoma Masayoshi Nakanishi Daisuke Ichikawa Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Toshiya Ochiai Yukihito Kokuba Chohei Sakakura Eigo Otsuji | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，25： | 11 |
| 7 | Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography equipped with late Kupffer-phase image obtained by sonazoid in patients with colorectal liver metastases显示文摘AIM: To find occult metastases during hepatectomy in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM), contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography (CE-IOUS) was performed using a new microbubble agent, sonazoid, which provides a parenchyma-specific contrast image based on its accumulation in the Kupffer cells. METHODS: Eight patients with CRCLM underwent CE- IOUS using sonazoid before hepatectomy. The liver was investigated during a late Kupffer-phase imaging, which is a valuable characteristic of sonazoid. RESULTS: CE-IOUS using sonazoid provided the early vascular- and sinusoidal-phase images for 10 min followed by the late Kupffer-phase image up to 30 min after the injection of sonazoid. IOUS did not provide new findings of metastatic lesion in the 8 patients. However, during the late Kupffer-phase image of sonazoid, a metastatic lesion was newly found in two of the 8 patients. These newly detected lesions were removed by an additional hepatectomy and histopathologically diagnosed as a metastasis. CONCLUSION: CE-IOUS using sonazoid can allow surgeons to investigate the whole liver with enough time and to find new metastases intraoperatively. | Hiroshi Nakano Yasuo Ishida Toshiyuki Hatakeyama Kazuma Sakuraba Masahiro Hayashi Osamu Sakurai Kiyoshi Hataya | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，20： | 10 |
| 8 | Hepatitis B virus pathogenesis: Fresh insights into hepatitis B virus RNA显示文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) is still a worldwide health concern. While divergent factors are involved in its pathogenesis, it is now clear that HBV RNAs, principally templates for viral proteins and viral DNAs, have diverse biological functions involved in HBV pathogenesis. These functions include viral replication, hepatic fibrosis and hepatocarcinogenesis. Depending on the sequence similarities, HBV RNAs may act as sponges for host mi RNAs and may deregulate mi RNA functions, possibly leading to pathological consequences. Some parts of the HBV RNA molecule may function as viralderived mi RNA, which regulates viral replication. HBV DNA can integrate into the host genomic DNA and produce novel viral-host fusion RNA, which may have pathological functions. To date, elimination of HBVderived covalently closed circular DNA has not been achieved. However, RNA transcription silencing may be an alternative practical approach to treat HBVinduced pathogenesis. A full understanding of HBV RNA transcription and the biological functions of HBV RNA may open a new avenue for the development of novel HBV therapeutics. | Kazuma Sekiba Motoyuki Otsuka Motoko Ohno Mari Yamagami Takahiro Kishikawa Tatsunori Suzuki Rei Ishibashi Takahiro Seimiya Eri Tanaka Kazuhiko Koike | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018，24，21： | 10 |
| 9 | Liquid biopsy in patients with pancreatic cancer: Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids显示文摘Despite recent advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management, the prognosis of pancreatic cancer(PCa) remains extremely poor. To provide optimal treatment for each patient with Pca, superior biomarkers are urgently needed in all phases of management from early detection to staging, treatment monitoring, and prognosis. In the blood of patients with cancer, circulating tumor cells(CTCs) and cell-free nucleic acids(cf NAs), such as DNA, m RNA, and noncoding RNA have been recognized. In the recent years, their presence in the blood has encouraged researchers to investigate their potential use as novel blood biomarkers, and numerous studies have demonstrated their potential clinical utility as a biomarker for certain types of cancer. This concept, called 'liquid biopsy' has been focused on as a less invasive, alternative approach to cancer tissue biopsy for obtaining genetic and epigenetic aberrations that contribute to oncogenesis and cancer progression. In this article, we review the available literature on CTCs and cfN As in patients with cancer, particularly focusing on PCa, and discuss future perspectives in this field. | Taisuke Imamura Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Tsutomu Kawaguchi Mahito Miyamae Wataru Okajima Takuma Ohashi Tomohiro Arita Hirotaka Konishi Atsushi Shiozaki Ryo Morimura Hisashi Ikoma Kazuma Okamoto Eigo Otsuji | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，25： | 10 |
| 10 | Post-hepatectomy survival in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis显示文摘AIM: To analyze hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT) using the tumor-node-metastasis(TNM) staging system.METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 372 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy between 1980 and 2009.We studied the outcomes of HCC patients with PVTT to evaluate the American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM staging system(7th edition) for stratifying and predicting the prognosis of a large cohort of HCC patients after hepatectomy in a single-center.Portal vein invasion(vp) 1 was defined as an invasion or tumor thrombus distal to the second branch of the portal vein,vp2 as an invasion or tumor thrombus in the second branch of the portal vein,vp3 as an invasion or tumor thrombus in the first branch of the portal vein,and vp4 as an invasion or tumor thrombus in the portal trunk or extending to a branch on the contralateral side.RESULTS: The cumulative 5-year overall survival(5yr OS) and 5-year disease-free survival(5yr DFS) rates of the 372 patients were 58.3% and 31.3%,respectively.The 5yr DFS and 5yr OS of vp3-4 patients(n = 10) were 20.0%,and 30.0%,respectively,which was comparable with the corresponding survival rates of vp1-2 patients(P = 0.466 and 0.586,respectively).In the subgroup analysis of patients with macroscopic PVTT(vp2-4),the OS of the patients who underwent preoperative transarterial chemoembolization was comparable to that of patients who did not(P = 0.747).There was a significant difference in the DFS between patients with stage Ⅰ HCC and those with stage Ⅱ HCC(5yr DFS 39.2% vs 23.1%,P < 0.001); however,theDFS for stage Ⅱ was similar to that for stage Ⅲ(5yrD FS 23.1% vs 13.8%,P = 0.330).In the subgroup analysis of stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ HCC(n = 148),only alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) > 100 mg/dL was independently associated with DFS.CONCLUSION: Hepatectomy for vp3-4 HCC results in a survival rate similar to hepatectomy for vp1-2.AFP stratified the stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ HCC patients according to prognosis. | Yusuke Yamamoto Hisashi Ikoma Ryo Morimura Katsutoshi Shoda Hirotaka Konishi Yasutoshi Murayama Shuhei Komatsu Atsushi Shiozaki Yoshiaki Kuriu Takeshi Kubota Masayoshi Nakanishi Daisuke Ichikawa Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Chouhei Sakakura Toshiya Ochiai Eigo Otsuji | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，1： | 9 |
| 11 | Clinicopathological characteristics of clinical early gastric cancer in the upper-third stomach显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics of clinically early gastric cancer in the upper-third stomach and to clarify treatment precautions.METHODS: A total of 683 patients with clinical early gastric cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study, 128 of whom had gastric cancer in the upper-third stomach(U group). All patients underwent a double contrast barium examination, endoscopy, and computed tomography(CT), and were diagnosed preoperatively based on the findings obtained. The clinicopathological features of these patients were compared with those of patients with gastric cancer in the middle- and lower-third stomach(ML group). We also compared clinicopathological factors between accurate-diagnosis and under-diagnosis groups in order to identify factors affecting the accuracy of a preoperative diagnosis of tumor depth.RESULTS: Patients in the U group were older(P = 0.029), had a higher ratio of males to females(P = 0.015), and had more histologically differentiated tumors(P = 0.007) than patients in the ML group. A clinical under-diagnosis occurred in 57 out of 683 patients(8.3%), and was more frequent in the U group than in the ML group(16.4% vs 6.3%, P < 0.0001). Therefore, the rates of lymph node metastasis and lymphatic invasion were slightly higher in the U group than in the ML group(P = 0.071 and 0.082, respectively). An under-diagnosis was more frequent in histologically undifferentiated tumors(P = 0.094) and in those larger than 4 cm(P = 0.024). The medianfollow-up period after surgery was 56 mo(range, 1-186 mo). Overall, survival and disease-specific survival rates were significantly lower in the U group than in the ML group(P = 0.016 and 0.020, respectively). However, limited operation-related cancer recurrence was not detected in the U group in the present study.CONCLUSION: Clinical early gastric cancer in the upper-third stomach has distinguishable characteristics that increase the risk of a clinical under-diagnosis, especially in patients with larger or undifferentiated tumors. | Daisuke Ichikawa Shuhei Komatsu Toshiyuki Kosuga Hirotaka Konishi Kazuma Okamoto Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Eigo Otsuji | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，45： | 6 |

| 13 | Claudin 1 mediates tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced cell migration in human gastric cancer cells显示文摘AIM:To investigate the role of claudin 1 in the regulation of genes involved in cell migration and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)-induced gene expression in human gastric adenocarcinoma cells.METHODS:Knockdown experiments were conducted with claudin 1 small interfering RNA(si RNA),and theeffects on the cell cycle,apoptosis,migration and invasion were analyzed in human gastric adenocarcinoma MKN28 cells.The gene expression profiles of cells were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics.RESULTS:The knockdown of claudin 1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation,migration and invasion,and increased apoptosis.Microarray analysis identified 245genes whose expression levels were altered by the knockdown of claudin 1.Pathway analysis showed that the top-ranked molecular and cellular function was the cellular movement related pathway,which involved MMP7,TNF-SF10,TGFBR1,and CCL2.Furthermore,TNFand nuclear frctor-κB were the top-ranked upstream regulators related to claudin 1.TNF-αtreatment increased claudin 1 expression and cell migration in MKN28 cells.Microarray analysis indicated that the depletion of claudin1 inhibited 80%of the TNF-α-induced m RNA expression changes.Further,TNF-αdid not enhance cell migration in the claudin 1 si RNA transfected cells.CONCLUSION:These results suggest that claudin 1 is an important messenger that regulates TNF-α-induced gene expression and migration in gastric cancer cells.A deeper understanding of these cellular processes may be helpful in establishing new therapeutic strategies for gastric cancer. | Atsushi Shiozaki Hiroki Shimizu Daisuke Ichikawa Hirotaka Konishi Shuhei Komatsu Takeshi Kubota Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Daisuke Iitaka Shingo Nakashima Yoshito Nako Mingyao Liu Eigo Otsuji | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，47： | 6 |
| 14 | Body mass index is associated with age-at-onset of HCV-infected hepatocellular carcinoma patients显示文摘AIM: To identify factors associated with the age at onset of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Five hundred and fifty-six consecutive patients positive for HCV antibody and treatment-nafive HCC diagnosed between 1995 and 2004 were analyzed. Patients were classified into three groups according to age at HCC onset: < 60 years (n = 79), 60-79 years (n = 439), or ≥ 80 years (n = 38). Differences among groups in terms of sex, body mass index (BMI), lifestyle characteristics, and liver function were assessed. Factors associated with HCC onset in patients < 60 or ≥ 80 years were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Significant differences emerged for sex, BMI, degree of smoking and alcohol consumption, mean bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels, prothrombin activity, and platelet counts. The mean BMI values of male patients > 60 years old were lower and mean BMI values of female patients < 60 years old were higher than those of the general Japanese population. BMI > 25 kg/m2 [hazard ratio (HR), 1.8, P = 0.045], excessive alcohol consumption (HR, 2.5, P = 0.024), male sex (HR, 3.6, P = 0.002), and GGT levels > 50 IU/L (HR, 2.4, P = 0.014) were independently associated with HCC onset in patients < 60 years. Low ALT level was the only factor associated with HCC onset in patients aged ≥ 80 years. CONCLUSION: Increased BMI is associated with increased risk for early HCC development in HCV-infected patients. Achieving recommended BMI and reducing alcohol intake could help prevent hepatic carcinogenesis. | Takumi Akiyama Toshihiko Mizuta Seiji Kawazoe Yuichiro Eguchi Yasunori Kawaguchi Hirokazu Takahashi Iwata Ozaki Kazuma Fujimoto | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011，17，7： | 6 |
| 15 | Histological mixed-type as an independent prognostic factor in stageⅠgastric carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the clinicopathological features of mixed-type gastric cancer and their influence on prognosis of mixed-type stageⅠgastric cancer.METHODS: We analyzed 446 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for stageⅠgastric cancer between 1999 and 2009. The patients were divided into two groups: those with differentiated or undifferentiated cancer(non-mixed-type, n = 333) and those with a mixture of differentiated and undifferentiated cancers(mixed-type, n = 113).RESULTS: The overall prevalence of mixed-type gastric cancer was 25.3%(113/446). Compared with patients with non-mixed-type gastric cancer, those with mixedtype gastric cancer tended to be older at onset(P = 0.1252) and have a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis(P = 0.1476). They also had significantly larger tumors(P < 0.0001), more aggressive lymphatic invasion(P = 0.0011), and deeper tumor invasion(P < 0.0001). In addition, they exhibited significantly worse overall survival rates than did patients with non-mixedtype gastric cancer(P = 0.0026). Furthermore, mixedtype gastric cancer was independently associated with a worse outcome in multivariate analysis [P = 0.0300, hazard ratio = 11.4(1.265-102.7)].CONCLUSION: Histological mixed-type of gastric cancer contributes to malignant outcomes and highlight its usefulness as a prognostic indicator in stageⅠgastric cancer. | Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Mahito Miyamae Hiroki Shimizu Hirotaka Konishi Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Mitsuo Kishimoto Eigo Otsuji | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，2： | 6 |
| 16 | Analysis of Aerodynamic Load on Straight-bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine显示文摘This paper presents a wind tunnel experiment for the evaluation of energy performance and aerodynamic forces acting on a small straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine(VAWT) depending on several values of tip speed ratio. In the present study, the wind turbine is a four-bladed VAWT. The test airfoil of blade is symmetry airfoil(NACA0021) with 32 pressure ports used for the pressure measurements on blade surface. Based on the pressure distributions which are acted on the surface of rotor blade measured during rotation by multiport pressure-scanner mounted on a hub, the power, tangential force, lift and drag coefficients which are obtained by pressure distribution are discussed as a function of azimuthally position. And then, the loads which are applied to the entire wind turbine are compared with the experiment data of pressure distribution. As a result, it is clarified that aerodynamic forces take maximum value when the blade is moving to upstream side, and become small and smooth at downstream side. The power and torque coefficients which are based on the pressure distribution are larger than that by torque meter. | Qing’an LI Takao MAEDA Yasunari KAMADA Junsuke MURATA Toshiaki KAWABATA Kazuma FURUKAWA | 2014 | Journal of Thermal Science2014，23，4： | 6 |
| 17 | Detection of fusion gene in cell-free DNA of a gastric synovial sarcoma显示文摘Synovial sarcoma(SS) is genetically characterized by chromosomal translocation, which generates SYT-SSX fusion transcripts. Although SS can occur in any body part, primary gastric SS is substantially rare. Here we describe a detection of the fusion gene sequence of gastric SS in plasma cell-free DNA(cf DNA). A gastric submucosal tumor was detected in the stomach of a 27-year-old woman and diagnosed as SS. Candidate intronic primers were designed to detect the intronic fusion breakpoint and this fusion sequence was confirmed in intron 10 of SYT and intron 5 of SSX2 by genomic polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and direct sequencing. A locked nucleic acid(LNA) probe specificto the fusion sequence was designed for detecting the fusion sequence in plasma and the fusion sequence was detected in preoperative plasma cfD NA, while not detected in postoperative plasma cfD NA. This technique will be useful for monitoring translocation-derived diseases such as SS. | Shinpei Ogino Hirotaka Konishi Daisuke Ichikawa Junichi Hamada Katsutoshi Shoda Tomohiro Arita Shuhei Komatsu Atsushi Shiozaki Kazuma Okamoto Sanae Yamazaki Satoru Yasukawa Eiichi Konishi Eigo Otsuji | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018，24，8： | 5 |
| 18 | Clinical characteristics of hepatoduodenal lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer显示文摘AIM: To assess the clinical features of hepatoduodenal lymph node(HDLN) metastasis and to clarify the optimal indication of HDLN dissection.METHODS: We investigated a total of 276 patients who underwent gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy,including HDLN dissection,for gastric cancer between 1999 and 2012. Of these,26 patients(9.4%) had HDLN metastasis. First,we investigated the clinicopathological characteristics,their perioperative clinical outcomes,such as postoperative complications,and prognostic outcomes between patients with and without HDLN metastasis. Second,we detected the prognostic factors,particularly in patients with HDLN metastasis. Third,we assessed the therapeutic value of HDLN dissection to determine its optimal indication.RESULTS: The five-year overall survival rate of the patients with HDLN metastasis was 29%. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the tumour location(the middle or lower stomach [P = 0.005,OR = 5.88(95%CI: 1.61-38.1)] and p T category [T3 or T4,P = 0.017,OR = 4.45(95%CI: 1.28-21.3)] were independent risk factors for HDLNmetastasis. Cox proportional hazard analysis identified p N3 as an independent poor prognostic factor in the patients with HDLN metastasis [P = 0.021,HR = 5.17(95%CI: 1.8-292)]. For patients who underwent radical HDLN dissection,HDLN metastasis was a prognostic indicator in p N3 gastric cancer(P < 0.0001),but not p N1-2(P = 0.602). Furthermore,the index of therapeutic value of HDLN dissection for gastric cancer in the middle or lower stomach and the upper stomach was 3.4 and 0.0,respectively.CONCLUSION: We suggest that HDLN dissection should be indicated for p N1 or p N2 gastric cancers located at the middle or lower stomach. | Taisuke Imamura Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Toshiyuki Kosuga Kazuma Okamoto Hirotaka Konishi Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Eigo Otsuji | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，38： | 4 |
| 19 | Surgery for gastric cancer patients of age 85 and older: Multicenter survey显示文摘AIM To investigate the surgical therapies for gastric cancer(GC) patients of age 85 or older in a multicenter survey.METHODS Therapeutic opportunities for elderly GC patients have expanded in conjunction with extended life expectancy. However, the number of cases encountered in a single institution is usually very small and surgical therapies for elderly GC patients have not yet been standardized completely. In the present study, a total of 134 GC patients of age 85 or older who underwent surgery in 9 related facilities were retrospectively investigated. The relationships between surgical therapies and clinicopathological or prognostic features were analyzed.RESULTS Eighty-nine of the patients(66%) presented with a comorbidity, and 26(19% overall) presented with more than two comorbidities. Radical lymphadenectomy was performed in 59 patients(44%), and no patient received pre- or post-operative chemotherapy. Forty of the patients(30%) experienced perioperative complications, but no surgical or perioperative mortality occurred. Laparoscopic surgery was performed in only 12 of the patients(9.0%). Univariate and multivariate analyses of the 113 patients who underwent R0 or R1 resection identified the factors of p T3/4 and limited lymphadenectomy as predictive of worse prognosis(HR = 4.68, P = 0.02 and HR =2.19, P = 0.05, respectively). Non-cancer-specific death was more common in c Stage Ⅰ patients than in c Stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients. Limited lymphadenectomy correlated with worse cancer-specific survival(P = 0.01), particularly in c Stage Ⅱ patients(P < 0.01). There were no relationships between limited lymphadenectomy and any comorbidities, except for cerebrovascular disease(P = 0.07). CONCLUSION N o n- c a n c e r- s p e c i f i c d e a t h w a s n o t n e g l i g i b l e, particularly in c Stage Ⅰ, and gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy appears to be an effective treatment for cS tage Ⅱ elderly GC patients. | Hirotaka Konishi Daisuke Ichikawa Hiroshi Itoh Kenichiro Fukuda Naoki Kakihara Manabu Takemura Kaori Okugawa Kiyoshi Uchiyama Masashi Nakata Hiroshi Nishi Toshiyuki Kosuga Shuhei Komatsu Kazuma Okamoto Eigo Otsuji | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，7： | 4 |
| 20 | Personalized immunotherapy in cancer precision medicine显示文摘With the significant advances in cancer genomics using next-generation sequencing technologies,genomic and molecular profilingbased precision medicine is used as a part of routine clinical test for guiding and selecting the most appropriate treatments for individual cancer patients.Although many molecular-targeted therapies for a number of actionable genomic alterations have been developed,the clinical application of such information is still limited to a small proportion of cancer patients.In this review,we summarize the current status of personalized drug selection based on genomic and molecular profiling and highlight the challenges how we can further utilize the individual genomic information.Cancer immunotherapies,including immune checkpoint inhibitors,would be one of the potential approaches to apply the results of genomic sequencing most effectively.Highly cancer-specific antigens derived from somatic mutations,the so-called neoantigens,occurring in individual cancers have been in focus recently.Cancer immunotherapies,which target neoantigens,could lead to a precise treatment for cancer patients,despite the challenge in accurately predicting neoantigens that can induce cytotoxic T cells in individual patients.Precise prediction of neoantigens should accelerate the development of personalized immunotherapy including cancer vaccines and T-cell receptor-engineered T-cell therapy for a broader range of cancer patients. | Kazuma Kiyotani Yujiro Toyoshima Yusuke Nakamura | 2021 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2021，18，4： | 3 |
