1Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer显示文摘Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery(NCS) has not been fully evaluated clinically. Currently, the main regimen of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) used in NCS includes cisplatin. The antitumor effects of NAC reduce lymph node metastasis and the tumor diameter in patients prior to surgery, and this can reduce the number of high risk patients who require postoperative radiation therapy. Many randomized controlled trials(RCTs) have examined the long-term prognosis of NCS compared to primary surgery, but the utility of NCS remains uncertain. The advent of concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT) has markedly improved the outcome of radiotherapy(RT), and CCRT is now used as a standard method in many cases of advanced bulky cervical cancer. NCS gives a better treatment outcome than radiation therapy alone, but it is important to verify that NCS gives a similar or better outcome compared to CCRT.Takashi Iwata Azumi Miyauchi Yukako Suga Hiroshi Nishio Masaru Nakamura Akiko Ohno Nobumaru Hirao Tohru Morisada Kyoko Tanaka Hiroki Ueyama Hidemichi Watari Daisuke Aoki 2016Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2016,28,2:20

3Differential mucin phenotypes and their significance in a variation of colorectal carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate mucin expression profiles in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) histological subtypes with regard to clinicopathologic variables and prognosis. METHODS: Mucin (MUC)2 and MUC5AC expressions were assessed by immunohistochemistry for a total of 250 CRC cases that underwent surgical resection. CRCs included 63 well-to-moderately differentiated adenocar-cinomas (WMDAs), 91 poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (PDAs), 81 mucinous adenocarcinoma (MUAs), and 15 signet-ring cell carcinomas (SRCCs). MUC2 and MUC5AC were scored as positive when ≥ 25% and ≥ 1% of cancer cells were stained positive, respectively. The human mutL homolog 1 and human mutS homolog 2 expressions were assessed by immunohistochemistry in PDAs to investigate mismatch-repair (MMR) status.Tumors that did not express either of these two were considered MMR-deficient. Results were analyzed for associations with clinicopathologic variables and the prognosis in individual histological CRC subtypes. RESULTS: MUC2-positive and MUC5AC-positive WMDA percentages were 49.2% and 30.2%, respectively. In contrast, MUC2-positive and MUC5AC-positive PDA percentages were 9.5% and 51.6%, respectively. MUC2 levels tended to decrease and MUC5AC levels tended to increase from WMDA to PDA. In 21 tumors comprising both adenoma and adenocarcinoma components in a single tumor (4 WMDAs, 7 PDAs, and 10 MUAs), MUC2 was significantly downregulated in PDA and MUC5AC was downregulated in PDA and MUA in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. These results suggested that MUC2 levels might be associated with malignant potential and that MUC5AC expression was an early event in tumorigenesis. Despite worse prognoses than WMDA, high MUC2 expression levels were maintained in MUA (95.1%) and SRCC (71.5%), which suggested a pathogenesis for these subtypes distinct from that of WMDA. No significant associations were found between MUC2 expression and any clinicopathologic variables in any histological subtype. MUC5AC expression in PDA was closely associated with right-sided location (P = 0.017), absence of nodal metastasis (P = 0.010), low tumor node metastasis stage (P = 0.010), and MMR deficiency (P = 0.003). MUC2 expression in WMDA was a marginal prognostic factor for recurrence/metastasis-free survival (RFS) by univariate Cox analysis (P = 0.077) but not by multivariate Cox analysis (P = 0.161). MUC5AC expression in PDA was a significant prognostic factor for RFS by univariate Cox analysis (P = 0.007) but not by multivariate Cox analysis (P = 0.104). Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests revealed that MUC2 expression was marginally associated with a better WMDA prognosis [P = 0.064 for RFS and P = 0.172 for overall survival (OS)] but not for PDA. In contrast, MUC5AC expression was significantly and marginally associated with a better PDA prognosis in terms of RFS and OS, respectively(P = 0.004 for RFS and P = 0.100 for OS), but not for WMDA and MUA. CONCLUSION: Mucin core protein expression profiles and clinical significance differ according to histological CRC subtypes. This may reflect different pathogeneses for these tumors.Yasuo Imai Hidetsugu Yamagishi Kazunori Fukuda Yuko Ono Tohru Inoue Yoshihiko Ueda 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,25:14
4Adiponectin deficiency enhances colorectal carcinogenesis and liver tumor formation induced by azoxymethane in mice显示文摘AIM:To investigate the causal relationship between hypoadiponectinemia and colorectal carcinogenesis in in vivo experimental model,and to determine the con-tribution of adiponectin defi ciency to colorectal cancer development and proliferation.METHODS:We examined the influence of adiponectin defi ciency on colorectal carcinogenesis induced by the administration of azoxymethane(AOM)(7.5 mg/kg,in-traperitoneal injection once a week for 8 wk),by using adiponectin-knockout(KO) mice.RESULTS:At 53 wk after the fi rst AOM treatment,KOmice developed larger and histologically more progres-sive colorectal tumors with greater frequency com-pared with wild-type(WT) mice,although the tumor incidence was not different between WT and KO mice.KO mice showed increased cell proliferation of colorec-tal tumor cells,which correlated with the expression levels of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) in the colorectal tumors.In addition,KO mice showed higher incidence and frequency of liver tumors after AOM treatment.Thirteen percent of WT mice developed liver tumors,and these WT mice had only a single tumor.In contrast,50% of KO mice developed liver tumors,and 58% of these KO mice had multiple tumors.CONCLUSION:Adiponectin deficiency enhances colorectal carcinogenesis and liver tumor formation induced by AOM in mice.This study strongly suggests that hypoadiponectinemia could be involved in the pathogenesis for colorectal cancer and liver tumor in human subjects.Tamao Nishihara Miyako Baba Morihiro Matsuda Masahiro Inoue Yasuko Nishizawa Atsunori Fukuhara Hiroshi Araki Shinji Kihara Tohru Funahashi Shinji Tamura Norio Hayashi Hiroyasu Iishi Iichiro Shimomura 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,42:12
5Clinical significance of visceral adiposity assessed by computed tomography: A Japanese perspective显示文摘Abdominal obesity,rather than total amount of fat,is linked to obesity-related disorders.Visceral adiposity is an important component of obesity-related disorders in Japanese individuals with a mild degree of adiposity compared with Western subjects.In 1983,our group reported techniques for body fat analysis using computed tomography(CT)and established the concept of visceral fat obesity in which intra-abdominal fat accumulation is an important factor in the development of obesity-related complications,such as diabetes,lipid disorders,hypertension and atherosclerosis.Our group also established ideal imaging conditions for determining abdominal fat area at the umbilical level CT scan.Visceral fat area(VFA)measured in a single slice at L4level correlated significantly with the total abdominal visceral fat volume measured on multislice CT scan.In a large-scale study of a Japanese population,the mean number of obesity-related cardiovascular risk factors(hypertension,low high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia,and hyperglycemia)was greater than 1.0 at 100 cm2 of VFA,irrespective of gender,age and body mass index.Our group also demonstrated that reduction of visceral fat accumulation subsequent to voluntary lifestyle modification,'Hokenshido',correlated with a decrease in the number of obesity-related cardiovascular risk factors.It is important to select the most appropriate subjects from the general population(e.g.,non-obese subjects with a cluster of risk factors for the metabolic syndrome)that are most suitable for body weight reduction,with the goal of preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.Miwa Ryo Ken Kishida Tadashi Nakamura Tohru Yoshizumi Tohru Funahashi Iichiro Shimomura 2014World Journal of Radiology2014,6,7:11
6Mitochondria Play a Role in the Development of Non-Apoptotic Programmed Cell Death of Neutrophils Induced by ONO-AE-248显示文摘We previously reported that ONO-AE-248,a selective EP3 receptor agonist,has been shown to cause neutrophil death without the typical features of apoptosis and necrosis.However,the mechanism of the neutrophil death is unclear.By using Western blotting,flow cytometry(FACS)and confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM),we investigated the cellular signal transduction pathways of the neutrophil death.The research results showed that the neutrophil death induced by ONO-AE-248 did not show the morphologic changes of apoptosis and was not associated with the activity of caspase-3,caspase-8,and phosphorylation of p38-MAPK.However,impairment of mitochondria transmembrane potential has been found during the process of cell death.These findings suggested that ONO-AE-248 induced a non-apoptotic programmed cell death of neutrophils through partially mitochondria signaling transduction pathway.Jiajia Liu Hao He Zi Zhang Shixu Jiang Tohru Akahoshi Jian Yang Juan Li Tao He 2007Cellular & Molecular Immunology2007,4,6:11
7DOG1 is useful for diagnosis of KIT-negative gastrointestinal stromal tumor of stomach显示文摘Approximately 80%-95%of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)show positive staining for KIT,while the other 5%-20%show negative staining.If the tumor is negative for KIT,but is positive for CD34,a histological diagnosis is possible.However,if the tumor is negative for KIT,CD34,S-100,and SMA,a definitive diagnosis is often challenging.Recently,Discovered on GIST-1(DOG1)has received considerable attention as a useful molecule for the diagnosis of GIST.DOG1,a membrane channel protein,is known to be overexpressed in GIST.Because the sensitivity and specificity of DOG1 are higher than those of KIT,positive staining for DOG1has been reported,even in KIT-negative GISTs.KITnegative GISTs most commonly arise in the stomach and are mainly characterized by epithelioid features histologically.We describe our experience with a rare case of a KIT-negative GIST of the stomach that was diagnosed by positive immunohistochemical staining for DOG1 in a patient who presented with severe anemia.Our findings suggest that immunohistochemical staining for DOG1,in addition to gene analysis,is useful for the diagnosis of KIT-negative tumors that are suspected to be GISTs.Takuya Wada Satoshi Tanabe Kenji Ishido Katsuhiko Higuchi Tohru Sasaki Chikatoshi Katada Mizutomo Azuma Akira Naruke Myunguchul Kim Wasaburo Koizumi Tetsuo Mikami 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,47:11
8Impact of obesity on the surgical outcome following repeat hepatic resection in Japanese patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the impact of obesity on the posto- perative outcome after hepatic resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Data from 328 consecutive patients with primary HCC and 60 patients with recurrent HCC were studied. We compared the surgical outcomes between the non-obese group (body mass index: BMI < 25 kg/m2) and the obese group (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). RESULTS: Following curative hepatectomy in patients with primary HCC, the incidence of postoperative complications and the long-term prognosis in the non- obese group (n = 240) were comparable to those in the obese group (n = 88). Among patients with recurrent HCC, the incidence of postoperative complications after repeat hepatectomy was not significantly different between the non-obese group (n = 44) and the obese group (n = 16). However, patients in the obese group showed a significantly poorer long-term prognosis than those in the non-obese group (P < 0.05, five-yearsurvival rate; 51.9% and 92.0%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Obesity alone may not have an adverse effect on the surgical outcomes of patients with primary HCC. However, greater caution seems to be required when planning a repeat hepatectomy for obese patients with recurrent HCC.Tohru Utsunomiya Masahiro Okamoto Toshihumi Kameyama Ayumi Matsuyama Manabu Yamamoto Megumu Fujiwara Masaki Mori Shiomi Aimitsu Teruyoshi Ishida 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,10:10

10Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: Pathophysiology,diagnosis and treatment显示文摘In 1990,takotsubo cardiomyopathy(TCM)was first discovered and reported by a Japanese cardiovascular specialist.Since then,this heart disease has gained worldwide acceptance as an independent disease entity.TCM is an important entity that differs from acute myocardial infarction.It occurs more often in postmenopausal elderly women,is characterized by a transient hypokinesis of the left ventricular(LV)apex,and is associated with emotional or physical stress.Wall motion abnormality of the LV apex is generally transient and resolves within a few days to several weeks.Its prognosis is generally good.However,there are some reports of serious TCM complications,including hypotension,heart failure,ventricular rupture,thrombosis involving the LV apex,and torsade de pointes.It has been suggested that coronary spasm,coronary microvascular dysfunction,catecholamine toxicity and myocarditis might contribute to the pathogenesis of TCM.However,its pathophysiology is not clearly understood.Kazuo Komamura Miho Fukui Toshihiro Iwasaku Shinichi Hirotani Tohru Masuyama 2014World Journal of Cardiology2014,6,7:9
11Cyclooxygenase-2 expression after preoperative chemoradiotherapy correlates with more frequent esophageal cancer recurrence显示文摘AIM: To investigate the relationship between cycloo- xygenase-2 (COX-2), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and to determine the clinical significance of this relationship in esophageal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy (CRT). METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate COX-2 and VEGF expression in 40 patients with histologically-confirmed esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESCC) who were undergoing preoperative CRT. RESULTS: Fourteen out of 40 ESCC patients showed a pathological complete response (CR) after CRT. COX-2 and VEGF protein expressions were observed in the cytoplasm of 17 and 13 tumors, respectively, with null expression in 9 and 13 tumors, respectively. COX-2 expression was strongly correlated with VEGF expression (P < 0.05). There were also significant associations between COX-2 expression, tumor recurrence, and lymph-node involvement (P = 0.0277 and P = 0.0095, respectively). COX-2 expression and VEGF expression had significant prognostic value for disease-free survival (log-rank test; P = 0.0073 and P = 0.0341, respectively), but not for overall survival, as assessed by univariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that COX-2 expression correlates with VEGF expression and might be a useful prognostic factor for more frequent tumor recurrence in ESCC patients undergoing neoadjuvant CRT. These findings support the use of anti-angiogenic COX-2 inhibitors in the treatment of ESCC.Reigetsu Yoshikawa Yoshinori Fujiwara Kenji Koishi Syoudou Kojima Tomohiro Matsumoto Hidenori Yanagi Takehira Yamamura Tomoko Hashimoto-Tamaoki Takashi Nishigami Tohru Tsujimura 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,16:9
12Silver Nanowire Electrodes: Conductivity Improvement Without Post-treatment and Application in Capacitive Pressure Sensors显示文摘Transparent electrode based on silver nanowires(Ag NWs) emerges as an outstanding alternative of indium tin oxide film especially for flexible electronics. However, the conductivity of Ag NWs transparent electrode is still dramatically limited by the contact resistance between nanowires at high transmittance. Polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) layer adsorbed on the nanowire surface acts as an electrically insulating barrier at wire–wire junctions, and some devastating post-treatment methods are proposed to reduce or eliminate PVP layer, which usually limit the application of the substrates susceptible to heat or pressure and burden the fabrication with high-cost, time-consuming, or inefficient processes. In this work, a simple and rapid pre-treatment washing method was proposed to reduce the thickness of PVP layer from 13.19 to0.96 nm and improve the contact between wires. Ag NW electrodes with sheet resistances of 15.6 and 204 X sq-1have been achieved at transmittances of 90 and 97.5 %, respectively. This method avoided any post-treatments and popularized the application of high-performance Ag NW transparent electrode on more substrates. The improved Ag NWs were successfully employed in a capacitive pressure sensor with high transparency, sensitivity, and reproducibility.Jun Wang Jinting Jiu Teppei Araki Masaya Nogi Tohru Sugahara Shijo Nagao Hirotaka Koga Peng He Katsuaki Suganuma 2015Nano-Micro Letters2015,7,1:9
13Persistent CXCR4 expression after preoperative chemoradiotherapy predicts early recurrence and poor prognosis in esophageal cancer显示文摘AIM: To study the effect of CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) expression on disease progression and prognosis in esophageal cancer. METHODS: CXCR4 expression was evaluated in 37 patients with histologically confirmed esophageal squamous carcinomas (ESCC) undergoing preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Eleven out of 37 ESCC patients showed a pathological complete response (CR) after CRT. CXCR4 protein expression was observed in cell cytoplasms of 13 tumors, and null expression was seen in 13 tumors. Distant recurrence was significantly more common in patients with positive CXCR4 expression (P = 0.0318). After a median follow-up time of 31.6 mo, 19 patients progressed (12 of 19 expressed positive CXCR4) and 11 died (10 of 11 expressed positive CXCR4). Overall survival was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (952.1 ± 53.8 d in negative group vs 475.1 ± 56.2 d in positive group, P = 0.023), distant metastasis (874.0 ± 60.4 d in negative group vs 434.9 ± 75.2 d in positive group, P = 0.014) and CRT (811.5 ± 51.2 d in responder group vs 459.6 ± 94.0 d in non-responder group, P = 0.00038) and further with an absence ofCXCR4 expression or no residual tumor (959.8 ± 51.0 d in null expression or no tumor group vs 412.0 ± 57.1 d in positive expression group, P = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Persistent positive CXCR4 expression is implicated in tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis in ESCC after CRT, and preoperative CRT may improve the prognosis of ESCC via CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling pathway.Kenji Koishi Reigetsu Yoshikawa Tohru Tsujimura Tomoko Hashimoto-Tamaoki Syoudou Kojima Hidenori Yanagi Takehira Yamamura Yoshinori Fujiwara 2006World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,47:9
14Stratifying the risk of lymph node metastasis in undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To study how lymph node metastasis(LNM) risk is stratified in undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer(undiff-EGC) dependent on combinations of risk factors.METHODS:Five hundred and sixty-seven cases with undiff-EGC undergoing gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy were examined retrospectively.Using clinicopathological factors of patient age,location,size,an endoscopic macroscopic tumor form,ulceration,depth,histology,lymphatic involvement(LI) and venous involvement(VI),LNM risk was examined and stratified by conventional statistical analysis and datamining analysis.RESULTS:LNM was positive in 44 of 567 cases(7.8%).Univariate analysis revealed > 2 cm,protrusion,submucosal(sm),mixed type,LI and VI as significant prognostic factors and > 2 cm and LI-positive were independent factors by multivariate analysis.In preoperatively evaluable factors excluding LVI,sm and > 2 cm were independent factors.According to the depth and size,cases were categorized into the low-risk group [m and ≤ 2 cm,0%(LNM incidence)],the moderaterisk group(m and > 2 cm,5.6%; and sm and ≤ 2 cm,6.0%),and the high-risk group(sm and > 2 cm,19.3%).On the other hand,LNM occurred in 1.4% in all LI-negative cases,greatly lower than 28.2% in all LI-positive cases,and LNM incidence was low in LInegative cases even in the moderate- and high-risk groups.CONCLUSION:LNM-related factors in undiff-EGC were depth and size preoperatively while those were LI and size postoperatively.Among these factors,LI was the most significantly correlated factor.Yukiko Asakawa Masahiko Ohtaka Shinya Maekawa Mitsuharu Fukasawa Yasuhiro Nakayama Tatsuya Yamaguchi Taisuke Inoue Tomoyoshi Uetake Minoru Sakamoto Tadashi Sato Yoshihiko Kawaguchi Hideki Fujii Kunio Mochizuki Masao Hada Toshio Oyama Tomotaka Yasumura Kosaku Omata Atsushi Nishiyama Keiichi Naito Hideo Hata Yoshiaki Haba Kazuyuki Miyata Haruhisa Saitoh Yoichi Yamadera Kazuo Miura Akira Kawaoi Tohru Abe Hajime Tsunoda Yuji Honda Masayuki Kurosaki Nobuyuki Enomoto 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,9:8

16Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus totalis with “inferior” cystic artery: A case report显示文摘A 76-year-old man with known situs inversus totalis presented with left-sided discomfort. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of a gallstone, as well as,situs inversus; the liver and gallbladder on the left side and the spleen on the right. The biliary system was thought to be left-right reversal, mirror image in the view of drip infusion cholangiogram and MRI. Laparoscopic cholecy stectomywas safely performed, despite of unexpected aberrant cystic artery running inferior to cystic duct of situs inversus.Laparoscopic surgeon should be careful for view of reversed relationships and also existence of other anomalies.Sumihiro Kamitani Yosihiro Tsutamoto Kazuyoshi Hanasawa Tohru Tani 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,33:8
17Long-term prognostic impact of circulating tumour cells in gastric cancer patients显示文摘AIM To analyse the long-term prognostic impact of circulating tumour cells(CTCs) in gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery. METHODS A 7.5-m L peripheral vein blood sample was obtained from each patient with treatment-negative gastric adenocarcinoma before surgery. OBP-401, a telomerasespecific, replication-selective, oncolytic adenoviral agent carrying the green fluorescent protein gene, was used to label CTCs. Correlations between the number of CTCs and clinical end points were evaluated. RESULTS The median follow-up period of the surviving patients with gastric cancer was 60 mo. The CTC number tended to increase concomitantly with disease progression. The overall survival of patients with more than five CTCs in 7.5-m L of peripheral blood was lower than that of patients with five or less CTCs, although the difference was not significant(P = 0.183). A significant difference in relapse-free survival was found between patients with more than five and those with five or less CTCs(P = 0.034).CONCLUSION A lower number of CTCs was correlated with higher relapse-free survival rates in patients. Detection of CTCs using OBP-401 may be useful for predicting prognosis in gastric cancer.Hiroaki Ito Jun Sato Yukio Tsujino Noriko Yamaguchi Satoshi Kimura Keigo Gohda Katsuhiro Murakami Manabu Onimaru Tohru Ohmori Fumihiro Ishikawa Haruhiro Inoue 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,46:8
18Clinical significance of molecular diagnosis for gastric cancer lymph node micrometastasis显示文摘Advances in molecular diagnostic tools have allowed the identification of lymph node micrometastasis(LNM),including isolated tumor cells,in cancer patients. While immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction have been used to identify LNM in patients with gastric cancer,the clinical significance of this finding remains unclear. Recently,minimally invasive treatments,such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and laparoscopic surgery,are widely performed to help improve postsurgical quality of life(QOL). However,it is important to maintain the balance between QOL and curability when making treatments decision for patients with gastric cancer. If minimally invasive surgery based on accurate intraoperative LNM diagnosis was established,it could be performed safely. Therefore,we reviewed the clinical significance of LNM detected by molecular techniques as an important target for treatment decision making with gastric cancer patients.Hiromichi Sonoda Tohru Tani 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,38:8
19Effects of Weak Light on Starch Accumulation and Starch Synthesis Enzyme Activities in Rice at the Grain Filling Stage显示文摘Dynamic changes of starch, amylose, sucrose contents and the activities of starch synthesis enzymes under shading treatments after flowering were studied using two rice varieties IR72 (indica) and Nipponbare (japonica) as materials. Under shading treatments, the starch, amylose and sucrose contents decreased, while ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADPGPPase) activity only changed a little, soluble starch synthase activity and granule bound starch synthase activity decreased, soluble starch branching enzyme (SSBE, Q-enzyme) activity and granule bound starch branching enzyme (GBSBE, Q-enzyme) activity increased, and starch debranching enzyme (DBE, R-enzyme) activity varied with varieties. Correlation analyses showed that the changes of starch content were positively and significantly correlated with the changes of sucrose content in the weak light. Both ADPGPPase activity and SSBE activity werep ositively and significantly correlated with starch accumulation rate. It was implied that the decline of starch synthase activities was related to the decrease of starch content and the increase of the activity of starch branching enzyme played an important role in the decrease of the ratio of amylose to the total starch under the weak light.LI Tian Ryu OHSUGI Tohru YAMAGISHI Haruto SASAKI 2006Rice science2006,13,1:7
20A rare case of primary choriocarcinoma in the sigmoid colon显示文摘Primary colorectal choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare neoplasm and is usually associated with a poor prognosis.Only 13 cases of colorectal choriocarcinoma have previously been reported.There is no standard chemotherapeutic regimen for this tumor type.A 68-year-old man presented with melena and was diagnosed with sigmoid colonic adenocarcinoma with multiple liver metastases.He underwent a laparoscopic sigmoidectomy.Pathology revealed choriocarcinoma with a focal component of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of colon origin.Based on the collagen gel droplet-embedded culture drug sensitivity test(CD-DST)results,mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab were administered,which suppressed aggressive tumor growth for 4 mo.The patient died 9 mo after the initial diagnosis.Our study results suggest that the standard chemotherapy regimen for colorectal cancer might have suppressive effects against primary colorectal choriocarcinoma.Moreover,CD-DST may provide,at least in part,therapeutic insight for the selection of appropriate antitumor agents for such patients.Hiromitsu Maehira Tomoharu Shimizu Hiromichi Sonoda Eiji Mekata Tomoharo Yamaguchi Tohru Miyake Mitsuaki Ishida Tohru Tani 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,39:6
