INTRODUCTION: The prognostic significance of mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND) in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This post hoc analysis of a nationwide multicenter cohort study (JACS1303) evaluated the prognostic significance of MLND in octogenarians with NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included 622 octogenarians with NSCLC who underwent lobectomy. The median follow-up duration was 41.1 months. We compared survival and perioperative outcomes between patients who did and did not undergo MLND. RESULTS: In total, 414 (67%) patients underwent MLND (ND2 group), whereas 208 (33%) did not undergo MLND (ND0-1 group). The disease stage was more advanced in the ND2 group than in the ND0-1 group. Disease-free survival was slightly greater in the ND0-1 group with marginal significance (P= .079). In the matched cohort (N = 228), which mainly consisted of patients with clinical stage I disease (96%), there was no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding overall and disease-free survival (P= .908 and P = .916, respectively). Operative time and blood loss were significantly lower in the ND0-1 group than in the ND2 group in the entire cohort (P< .001 and P = .050, respectively) and in the matched cohort (P = .003 and P= .046, respectively). CONCLUSION: Based on a nationwide prospective database, we found limited prognostic impact of MLND, suggesting that MLND can be omitted for octogenarians with early-stage NSCLC.

18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) has been widely used for preoperative staging of lung adenocarcinomas. The aim of this study was to determine whether a high maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) could correlate with pathological characteristics in those patients. We retrospectively reviewed patients with clinical stage 0-IA lung adenocarcinoma who underwent preoperative 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography followed by curative anatomical resection. To identify more advanced disease and high-risk features, representing visceral pleural involvement, pulmonary metastasis, lymph node involvement, and lymphovascular involvement in resected surgical specimens, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. The optimal cutoff point for the SUVmax was determined by receiver operating characteristic analysis. In 2 groups divided according to the cutoff point, the disease-free survivals were calculated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. More advanced disease and high-risk features were identified in 55 (18.9%) of the 291 patients. SUVmax was significantly correlated with more advanced disease and high-risk features, as did the consolidation/tumor ratio on computed tomography. Only 2 (1.2%) of the 169 patients with a SUVmax <3.20 showed more advanced disease and high-risk features, compared with 43.4% of patients with a SUVmax ≥3.20. The disease-free survival was significantly higher in patients with a SUVmax <3.20 than in those with a SUVmax ≥3.20 (P = 0.002). A high SUVmax correlates with more advanced disease and high-risk features in patients with clinical stage 0-IA lung adenocarcinoma. The SUVmax should be considered when deciding treatment strategy in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVES: The optimal surgical approach for metachronous second primary lung cancer (MSPLC), especially ipsilateral MSPLC, remains unclear. This study aimed to review postoperative complications and examine surgical outcomes based on the extent of resection after surgery for ipsilateral MSPLC.METHODS: Clinical data from 61 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary resection for ipsilateral MSPLC according to the Martini-Melamed criteria between January 2005 and December 2017 in 3 institutes were retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS: Postoperative complications were identified in 12 patients (19.7%). Regarding the combination of initial and second surgery, intraoperative bleeding was significantly greater in patients with anatomic-anatomic resection than in others (P < 0.001). Operation time was significantly longer in patients with anatomic-anatomic resection than in others (P <0.001). However, postoperative complications showed no significant differences based on the combination of surgeries. Five-year overall survival rates in patients with anatomic resection and wedge resection after second surgery were 75.8% and 75.8%, respectively (P= 0.738), and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 54.2% and 67.6%, respectively (P = 0.368). Cox multivariate analysis identified ever-smoker status (P = 0.029), poor performance status (P = 0.011) and tumour size >20 mm (P = 0.001) as independent predictors of poor overall survival, while ever-smoker status (P = 0.040) and tumour size >20 mm (P = 0.007) were considered independent predictors of poor recurrence-free survival.CONCLUSIONS: Regarding postoperative and long-term outcomes for patients with ipsilateral MSPLC, surgical intervention is safe and offers good long-term survival. Wedge resection is an acceptable provided tumours <= 2 cm and ground-glass opacity-predominant as a second surgery for early-stage ipsilateral MSPLC.

BACKGROUND: Anatomic resection with lymph node dissection or sampling is the standard treatment for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and wedge resection is an option for compromised patients. This study aimed to determine whether wedge resection can provide comparable prognoses for elderly patients with NSCLC. METHODS: The study analyzed the clinicopathologic findings and surgical outcomes during a median follow-up period of 39.6 months for 156 patients with solid dominant (consolidation-to-tumor ratio > 0.5) small (whole tumor size ≤ 2 cm) NSCLC among 892 patients 80 years of age or older with medically operable lung cancer between April 2015 and December 2016. RESULTS: The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates after wedge resection and after segmentectomy plus lobectomy did not differ significantly (86.5 %; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 74.6-93.0 % vs 83.7 % 95 % CI, 74.0-90.0 %; P = 0.92). Multivariable Cox regression analysis of OS with propensity scores showed that the surgical procedure was not an independent prognostic predictor (hazard ratio [HR], 0.84; 95 % CI, 0.39-1.8; P = 0.64). The 3-year OS rates were slightly better after wedge resection for 97 patients who could tolerate lobectomy than after segmentectomy plus lobectomy (89.4 %; 95 % CI, 73.8-95.9 % vs 75.8 %; 95 % CI, 62.0-85.2 %; P = 0.14). The cumulative incidence of other causes for death was marginally higher after segmentectomy plus lobectomy than after wedge resection (P = 0.079). CONCLUSIONS: Wedge resection might be equivalent to lobectomy or segmentectomy for selected patients 80 years of age or older with early-stage NSCLC who can tolerate lobectomy.

Background: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) has been identified as one of the predictors for the response to anti-programmed cell death-1 (anti-PD-1) antibody therapy and reported to correlate with smoking history in lung adenocarcinoma. However, in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, the association between TMB and clinicopathological background factors, such as smoking history, has not been reported, including in our previous study. The mutational signature is a tool to identify the mutagens that are contributing to the mutational spectrum of a tumor by investigating the pattern of DNA changes. Here, we analyzed the mutational signature in lung squamous cell carcinoma to identify mutagens affecting the TMB. Methods: Seven representative mutational signatures including signature 7 (SI7) [ultraviolet (UV)-related], SI4 (smoking), SI6/15 [mismatch repair (MMR)], SI2/13 [apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC)], and SI5 (clock-like) were analyzed in Japanese patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (n=67) using data generated by next-generation sequencing consisting of a 415-gene panel. The relationships between signatures and clinico-pathological data including TMB and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression were analyzed. Results: Although the reconstructed mutational counts were small with targeted sequencing (median: 30.1, range: 13.3-98.7), the distributions of signatures were comparable among samples, with 56 cases containing more than four signatures. The smoking-related SI4 was found in 45 cases and was significantly related with pack-year index (PYI) (P=0.026). The reconstructed mutation counts were highly correlated with SI4 (r=0.51, P<0.0001), whereas the correlation was weak with SI6/15 (MMR-related) and SI2/13 (APOBEC-related). There was no mutational signature related with PD-L1 expression. Some patients exhibited unique signatures; the patient with the highest mutational counts had a MMR signature, and another patient with a prominent UV signature had occupational exposure to UV, as he was employed as a neon sign engineer. Conclusions: Mutational signatures can predict the cause of lung squamous cell carcinoma. Tobacco smoking is the mutagen most related with TMB.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant non-coding RNA species, is a major component of the ribosome. Impaired ribosome biogenesis causes the dysfunction of protein synthesis and diseases called “ribosomopathies,” including genetic disorders with cancer risk. However, the potential role of rRNA gene (rDNA) alterations in cancer is unknown. We investigated germline and somatic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the rDNA promoter region (positions −248 to +100, relative to the transcription start site) in 82 lung adenocarcinomas (LUAC). Twenty-nine tumors (35.4%) carried germline SNVs, and eight tumors (9.8%) harbored somatic SNVs. Interestingly, the presence of germline SNVs between positions +1 and +100 (n = 12; 14.6%) was associated with significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) by univariate analysis (p &lt; 0.05, respectively), and was an independent prognostic factor for RFS and OS by multivariate analysis. LUAC cell line PC9, carrying rDNA promoter SNV at position +49, showed significantly higher ribosome biogenesis than H1650 cells without SNV. Upon nucleolar stress induced by actinomycin D, PC9 retained significantly higher ribosome biogenesis than H1650. These results highlight the possible functional role of SNVs at specific sites of the rDNA promoter region in ribosome biogenesis, the progression of LUAC, and their potential prognostic value.

Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is considered to be an effective and safe treatment in patients with primary lung cancer. If local recurrence is confirmed following SBRT, surgical treatment is a possibility. The present study aimed to clarify the safety and survival outcomes of salvage surgery in primary lung cancer patients with local recurrence following SBRT. Methods: All subjects were patients with primary lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment for local recurrence following SBRT during the period from July 2005 to July 2015. We evaluated the reason for SBRT selection, the surgical procedure, postoperative complications, and prognosis. Results: Of 932 patients underwent SBRT as treatment for primary lung cancer, 48 patients (5.2%) had local recurrence alone and 19 patients (2.0%) underwent salvage surgery. SBRT was selected in eight medically operable patients who refused surgery, and in 11 patients considered medically inoperable by their pulmonologist. Lobectomy was performed in 15 patients. Postoperative complications were documented in 4 patients (21.1%). Incomplete resection was performed in 2 patients. Stage progression was confirmed in 7 patients (36.8%). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 72.5% and the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 65.2%. Conclusions: We evaluated patients who underwent salvage surgery due to local recurrence of lung cancer following SBRT. We found that salvage surgery could be performed safely without affecting SBRT outcomes. We further infer that cases of complete resection are likely to be associated with good prognosis, and that SBRT should be selected only after careful consideration because complete resection is not possible in all cases.

OBJECTIVE: Although lobectomy is the standard surgical procedure for small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), segmentectomy has been performed for various reasons. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of and risk factors for recurrence in early-stage NSCLC patients undergoing segmentectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 179 patients with clinical stage I NSCLC who underwent segmentectomy. Preoperative factors were analyzed using the log-rank test for univariate analyses. Multivariate analyses were performed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model to identify independent risk factors for recurrence. For the significant factors, optimal cutoff points were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS: During the follow-up period of 51 months, 18 patients developed recurrence; 5 had locoregional (including 2 with margin recurrences only), 9 had distant, and 4 had both locoregional and distant recurrence. Multivariate and ROC analysis identified radiologic solid tumor size with a cutoff point of 1.5 cm as an independent risk factor for recurrence. Three patients in the solid size < 1.5 cm group (n = 119) developed recurrence, 2 of whom had surgical margin recurrence, compared to 15 patients in the solid size ≥ 1.5 cm group (n = 60). CONCLUSIONS: The indication for segmentectomy should be decided upon with caution, and the segments to be resected should be carefully considered to secure an appropriate surgical margin in this low-risk subgroup of patients because they may have a relatively higher risk of surgical margin recurrence, despite being at decreased risk.

The choice of graft material for reconstruction of the vena cava in pediatric patients remains controversial. We successfully treated an eight-month-old female patient with single ventricle physiology and long segment obstruction of the left superior vena cava using the right superior vena cava autograft at the time of bilateral bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. Postoperative computed tomography confirmed the patency of the reconstruction.

PURPOSE: The best surgical approach for second primary lung cancer remains a subject of debate. The purpose of this study was to review the postoperative complications after second surgery for second primary lung cancer and to investigate the outcomes based on these complications. METHODS: The clinical data of 105 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary resection for multiple primary lung cancers between January, 1996 and December, 2017, were reviewed according to the Martini-Melamed criteria. RESULTS: After the second surgery, low body mass index (BMI) (< 18.5 kg/m2) (P = 0.004) and high Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (P = 0.002) were independent predictors of postoperative complications. Survival analysis revealed the 5-year overall survival rates of 74.5% and 61.4% for patients without postoperative complications and those with postoperative complications (P = 0.044), respectively, but the 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of 82.5% and 80.0% (P = 0.926), respectively. During this period, there were significantly more respiratory-related deaths of patients with complications than of those without complications (P = 0.011). CONCLUSION: Surgical intervention is feasible and potentially effective for second primary lung cancer but may not achieve positive perioperative and long-term outcomes for patients with a low BMI or a high CCI. Treatment options should be considered carefully for these patients.

Nearly 50% of primary lung carcinoma patients present with distant metastasis at their first visit. However, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) metastasis is an infrequent impediment. Herein, we report a case of progressive dysphagia and epigastralgia as an initial manifestation of recurrence as gastric metastasis of primary lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after curative surgery. A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with primary lung SCC of the right lower lobe, and underwent thoracoscopic lower lobectomy. One year after lobectomy, computed tomography (CT) scan showed a gastric fundal mass located in the gastric cardia which measured 5 cm. Endoscopic biopsies and histopathology subsequently confirmed that tumor was SCC. The patient then underwent proximal gastrectomy with resection of the diaphragmatic crus. Following surgery, histopathological examination revealed gastric metastasis from primary lung SCC. KEY POINTS: Gastric metastasis of primary lung carcinoma is one of the rarest phenomena. Gastrointestinal symptoms should raise suspicion of the presence of advanced metastatic disease with poor prognosis.

BACKGROUND: In a Fontan candidate, univentricular pacing may cause delay in interventricular conduction, which induces asynchronous contraction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy is expected to be an effective mode of therapy in such a case. CASE PRESENTATION: A 7-month-old girl, diagnosed with dextrocardia, congenitally corrected transposition of the great artery [situs solitus, L-loop, and L-transposition], ventricular septal defect, infundibular and pulmonary valvular stenosis, and straddling of the tricuspid valve, was considered as a candidate for the Fontan procedure. She had undergone Blalock-Taussig shunt, and epicardial univentricular pacemaker implantation for persistent complete atrioventricular block. She underwent a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt concomitant with ventricular lead translocation from the morphological left ventricle to the morphological right ventricle. After discharge, ventricular dyssynchrony was noted and cardiac failure persisted. She was converted to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) at 13 months of age. Two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging was used by cardiologists to determine the most suitable pacing site. CRT rapidly corrected the heart failure; thus, she underwent the Fontan procedure after 1.5 years. Five years have passed since the cardiac resynchronization therapy; her interventricular synchrony is maintained well and the level of brain natriuretic peptide remains within normal range. CONCLUSION: We describe the successful conversion from single ventricular pacing to CRT, in a case of congenitally corrected transposition of the great artery indicated for the Fontan procedure. The long-term prognosis of cardiac resynchronization therapy is undetermined in the pediatric population; therefore, further follow-up is required.

The shortage of donor lungs hinders lung transplantation, the only definitive option for patients with end-stage lung disease. Blastocyst complementation enables the generation of transplantable organs from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) in animal models. Pancreases and kidneys have been generated from PSCs by blastocyst complementation in rodent models. Here, we report the generation of lungs using mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in apneumic Fgf10 Ex1mut/Ex3mutmice by blastocyst complementation. Complementation with ESCs enables Fgf10-deficient mice to survive to adulthood without abnormalities. Both the generated lung alveolar parenchyma and the interstitial portions, including vascular endothelial cells, vascular and parabronchial smooth muscle cells, and connective tissue, largely originate from the injected ESCs. These data suggest that Fgf10 Ex1mut/Ex3mutblastocysts provide an organ niche for lung generation and that blastocyst complementation could be a viable approach for generating whole lungs.

A right-sided descending aorta with a left aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly in which the aortic arch crosses the midline from the left side of the trachea coursing to the descending aorta in the right thoracic cavity. The surgical repair of an interrupted aortic arch with a right-sided descending aorta carries great risks of bronchial and oesophageal obstruction. Herein, we describe a case of successful surgical repair of an interrupted aortic arch with a right-sided descending aorta using the swing-back and trap-door techniques.

A 46-year-old man who had undergone atrial septal defect closure during childhood was referred for surgery for residual partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The anomalous pulmonary veins were connected to the higher (cephalad) segment of the superior vena cava. As the usual caval division technique was not applicable, we chose to utilize the anterior wall of the superior vena cava as a flap for anomalous pulmonary vein rerouting. Bovine pericardium was used to reconstruct the systemic venous pathway. Systemic or pulmonary venous stenosis was not detected. The patient was discharged with a sinus rhythm.

Associated with an increase of small-sized lung cancer or metachronous second primary lung cancer, we have more opportunities to perform sublobar resection. Difficulties of identifying tumor location and appropriate surgical margin for small-sized ground-glass opacity (GGO) dominant lesions in thoracoscopic surgery is the big issue of sublobar resection. Virtual-assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP) that makes markings on the lung surface through some peripheral bronchi by bronchoscopically projects intrapulmonary anatomy on the lung surface and literally draw a map. We report a case of thoracoscopic left upper division segmentectomy for multiple ground-glass nodules (GGNs) using preoperative VAL-MAP. A 65-year-old women who had undergone right upper lobectomy for primary lung cancer, and had multiple GGNs in the bilateral lungs was followed up as an outpatient. Eleven years after initial pulmonary resection, 2 lesions in the left upper division became bigger, and we decided to perform surgery for 4 GGNs in the left upper division including these 2 lesions. We preoperatively made bronchoscopic dye markings through B1+2c, B3a and B4a for in the left upper lobe. The 3 markings were intraoperatively identified. We decided the resection line based on the markings and performed thoracoscopic left upper division segmentectomy. The pathological diagnosis was minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma in situ and pneumonitis. Surgical margins were negative. VAL-MAP will assume an important role as an intraoperative navigation system for sublobar resection.

65歳女。胸部CT異常影を主訴とした。右肺上葉切除術後の多発スリガラス結節(GGN)症例であり、胸部CTでは左肺S1+2a末梢に2ヵ所、左肺S3c末梢とS3aにそれぞれGGNを認め、いずれも肺癌の可能性があったため、全ての病変を含むよう区域切除を選択した。また、S3aの病変は術中触知困難が予想され、左肺S4+5との区域間に近接していたため、切離ラインの設定補助目的でvirtual-assisted lung mapping(VAL-MAP)を用い、胸腔鏡下左上区切除を行った結果、病変からのマージンを確保しつつ、残存区域の損失を最小限にするよう胸腔鏡下に完全切除できた。術後5年で再発はなく、残存するGGN病変も著変なく経過している。VAL-MAPは触知困難病変に対する胸腔鏡下区域切除において、特に有用であった。

OBJECTIVES: The main goal of palliative procedures for congenital heart defects is adequate pulmonary blood flow (PBF), but precise intraoperative PBF evaluation is sometimes difficult. The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate the usefulness of velocity time integral of the pulmonary vein (PV-VTI) measured by transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) at the time of palliative procedure as a parameter for PBF. METHODS: Case histories of 63 patients who underwent palliative procedures (bilateral pulmonary artery banding in 18 patients, main pulmonary artery banding in 22 patients and systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt in 23 patients) and whose intraoperative PV-VTI was measured by TOE from 2011 to 2017 at our centre were retrospectively reviewed. Low-body-weight infants, cases in which cardiopulmonary bypass was used and cases that were anatomically difficult to measure were excluded. RESULTS: PV-VTIs measured at 4 orifices of the pulmonary veins were all significantly decreased in both the bilateral pulmonary artery banding and main pulmonary artery banding groups and increased in the systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt group immediately after the procedure. There were significant correlations between the velocity time integrals of both right and left pulmonary veins and arterial oxygen saturation (r = 0.564 and 0.703). Nine patients (6 bilateral pulmonary artery banding and 3 systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt) required unplanned early reoperation due to inadequate PBF; their PV-VTIs were significantly different from those of patients not requiring reoperation. No major complications related to TOE occurred postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The PV-VTI measured by TOE during palliative procedures reflected the change of PBF and could help identify patients at higher risk of early reoperation due to inadequate PBF. This parameter may be a useful additional tool for evaluating intraoperative PBF.

BACKGROUND: The presence of emphysema on computed tomography (CT) is associated with an increased frequency of lung cancer, but the postoperative outcomes of patients with pulmonary emphysema are not well known. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the extent of emphysema and long-term outcomes, as well as mortality and postoperative complications, in early-stage lung cancer patients after pulmonary resection. METHODS: The clinical records of 566 consecutive lung cancer patients who underwent pulmonary resection in our department were retrospectively reviewed. Among these, the data sets of 364 pathological stage I patients were available. The associations between the extent of lung emphysema and long-term outcomes and postoperative complications were investigated. Emphysema was assessed on the basis of semiquantitative CT. Surgery-related complications of Grade ≥ II according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were included in this study. RESULTS: Emphysema was present in 63 patients. The overall survival and relapse-free survival of the non-emphysema and emphysema groups at 5 years were 89.0 and 61.3% (P < 0.001), respectively, and 81.0 and 51.7%, respectively (P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, significant prognostic factors were emphysema, higher smoking index, and higher histologic grade (p < 0.05). Significant risk factors for poor recurrence-free survival were emphysema, higher smoking index, higher histologic grade, and presence of pleural invasion (P < 0.05). Regarding Grade ≥ II postoperative complications, pneumonia and supraventricular tachycardia were more frequent in the emphysema group than in the non-emphysema group (P = 0.003 and P = 0.021, respectively). CONCLUSION: The presence of emphysema affects the long-term outcomes and the development of postoperative complications in early-stage lung cancer patients.

p53 is a guardian of the genome that protects against carcinogenesis. There is accumulating evidence that p53 is activated with aging. Such activation has been reported to contribute to various age-associated pathologies, but its role in vascular dysfunction is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether activation of endothelial p53 has a pathological effect in relation to endothelial function. We established endothelial p53 loss-of-function and gain-of-function models by breeding endothelial-cell specific Cre mice with floxed Trp53 or floxed Mdm2/Mdm4 mice, respectively. Then we induced diabetes by injection of streptozotocin. In the diabetic state, endothelial p53 expression was markedly up-regulated and endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was significantly impaired. Impairment of vasodilatation was significantly ameliorated in endothelial p53 knockout (EC-p53 KO) mice, and deletion of endothelial p53 also significantly enhanced the induction of angiogenesis by ischemia. Conversely, activation of endothelial p53 by deleting Mdm2/Mdm4 reduced both endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and ischemia-induced angiogenesis. Introduction of p53 into human endothelial cells up-regulated the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), thereby reducing phospho-eNOS levels. Consistent with these results, the beneficial impact of endothelial p53 deletion on endothelial function was attenuated in EC-p53 KO mice with an eNOS-deficient background. These results show that endothelial p53 negatively regulates endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and ischemia-induced angiogenesis, suggesting that inhibition of endothelial p53 could be a novel therapeutic target in patients with metabolic disorders.

OBJECTIVES: To aim of this study was to clarify the safety of simultaneous thoracic aortic endografting and combined resection of the aortic wall and thoracic malignancy in a one-stage procedure over the early and mid-term periods. METHODS: From March 2013 to December 2017, 6 patients underwent aortic endografting followed by one-stage en bloc resection of the tumor and aortic wall. Thoracic surgeons and cardiovascular surgeons discussed predicted tumor invasion range and resection site, stent placement position, stent length and size, and the surgical procedure, taking into account the safe margin. RESULTS: The proximal site of aortic endografting was the: aortic arch in 2 cases (subclavian artery (SCA) occlusion in one, and SCA fenestration in one); distal arch just beneath the SCA in 2; descending aorta in 2. Pulmonary resection involved lobectomy in 2 patients, pneumonectomy in 2, and completion pneumonectomy in 1. Aortic resection was limited to the adventitia in 2 cases, extended to the media in 3, and extended to the intima in 1. An endograft-related complication, external iliac artery intimal damage requiring vessel repair, was observed in one case. No complications associated with aortic resection were observed. Two postoperative complications of atrial fibrillation and chylothorax developed. There were no surgery-related deaths. During follow-up, no late endograft-related complications such as migration or endoleaks occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Early and mid-term outcomes of stent graft-related complications are acceptable. Simultaneous thoracic aortic endografting and combined resection of the aortic wall and thoracic malignancies are feasible in one stage on the same day.

BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease of the skin and soft tissue. Aneurysms associated with NF1 can occur, but a secondary aneurysm rupture is very rare, with very few cases reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the case of a 67-year-old female with NF1 who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture. She developed a type Ib endoleak requiring a redo-EVAR. Eighteen days after her primary operation, she was found to have two new left colic artery aneurysms. She required emergency surgery consisting of a left hemicolectomy and transverse colon colostomy. Pathology showed neurofibromatous changes to the peri-vasculature tissue, consistent with her underlying disease. CONCLUSIONS: Although rare, secondary aneurysms can occur following AAA repair. Patients with soft tissue connective tissue disorders, like NF1, may be at an increased risk for development of these secondary aneurysms. Endovascular repair appears to be a safe approach for NF1 patients with AAA, but endovascular management can be challenging in the setting of NF1. Surgeons should be ready to convert to open surgery if the patient displays persistent signs of bleeding or structural changes related to connective tissue disorders like NF1.

BACKGROUND: Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have a high risk of developing lung cancer, but few studies have investigated the long-term outcomes of repeated surgery in such patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of repeated lung cancer surgery in patients with IPF. METHODS: From January 2001 to December 2015, 108 lung cancer patients with IPF underwent pulmonary resection at two institutions; 13 of these patients underwent repeated surgery for lung cancer, and their data were reviewed. RESULTS: The initial procedures of the 13 patients were lobectomy in 8, segmentectomy in 2, and wedge resection in 3. The subsequent procedures were wedge resection in 10 and segmentectomy in 3. The clinical stage of the second tumor was stage IA in 12 and stage IB in 1. Postoperatively, 3 patients (23.1%) developed acute exacerbation (AE) of IPF and died. The rate of decrease in percent vital capacity was significantly higher in patients with AE than in those without AE (p = 0.011). The 3-year overall survival rate was 34.6%. The causes of death were cancer-related in 7, AE of IPF in 3, and metachronous lung cancer in 1. CONCLUSIONS: Despite limited resection, a high incidence of AE was identified. The early and long-term outcomes of repeated surgery in lung cancer patients with IPF were poor because of the high risk of AE of IPF and lung cancer recurrence. Long-term intensive surveillance will be required to determine whether surgical intervention is justified in patients with multiple primary lung cancers and IPF.

OBJECTIVES: Although some retrospective studies have reported clinicopathological scoring systems for predicting postoperative complications and survival outcomes for elderly lung cancer patients, optimized scoring systems remain controversial. METHODS: The Japanese Association for Chest Surgery (JACS) conducted a nationwide multicentre prospective cohort and enrolled a total of 1019 octogenarians with medically operable lung cancer. Details of the clinical factors, comorbidities and comprehensive geriatric assessment were recorded for 895 patients to develop a comprehensive risk scoring (RS) system capable of predicting severe complications. RESULTS: Operative (30 days) and hospital mortality rates were 1.0% and 1.6%, respectively. Complications were observed in 308 (34%) patients, of whom 81 (8.4%) had Grade 3-4 severe complications. Pneumonia was the most common severe complication, observed in 27 (3.0%) patients. Five predictive factors, gender, comprehensive geriatric assessment75: memory and Simplified Comorbidity Score (SCS): diabetes mellitus, albumin and percentage vital capacity, were identified as independent predictive factors for severe postoperative complications (odds ratio = 2.73, 1.86, 1.54, 1.66 and 1.61, respectively) through univariate and multivariate analyses. A 5-fold cross-validation was performed as an internal validation to reconfirm these 5 predictive factors (average area under the curve 0.70). We developed a simplified RS system as follows: RS = 3 (gender: male) + 2 (comprehensive geriatric assessment 75: memory: yes) + 2 (albumin: <3.8 ng/ml) + 1 (percentage vital capacity: ≤90) + 1 (SCS: diabetes mellitus: yes). CONCLUSIONS: The current series shows that octogenarians can be successfully treated for lung cancer with surgical resection with an acceptable rate of severe complications and mortality. We propose a simplified RS system to predict severe complications in octogenarian patients with medically operative lung cancer. Trial Registration Number: JACS1303 (UMIN000016756).

Development of an effective, safe, and convenient method for gene delivery to the pancreas is a critical step toward gene therapy for pancreatic diseases. Therefore, we tested the possibility of applying the principle of hydrodynamic gene delivery for successful gene transfer to pancreas using rats as a model. The established procedure involves the insertion of a catheter into the superior mesenteric vein with temporary blood flow occlusion at the portal vein and hydrodynamic injection of DNA solution. We demonstrated that our procedure achieved efficient pancreas-specific gene expression that was 2,000-fold higher than that seen in the pancreas after the systemic hydrodynamic gene delivery. In addition, the level of gene expression achieved in the pancreas by the pancreas-specific gene delivery was comparable to the level in the liver achieved by a liver-specific hydrodynamic gene delivery. The optimal level of reporter gene expression in the pancreas requires an injection volume equivalent to 2.0% body weight with flow rate of 1 mL/s and plasmid DNA concentration at 5 mu g/mL. With the exception of transient expansion of intercellular spaces and elevation of serum amylase levels, which recovered within 3 days, no permanent tissue damage was observed. These results suggest that pancreas-targeted hydrodynamic gene delivery is an effective and safe method for gene delivery to the pancreas and clinically applicable.

To establish the most effective methods of postoperative surveillance to detect early recurrence of lung adenocarcinoma.
The subjects of this retrospective study were 485 patients with p-stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma, who underwent postoperative surveillance. We examined the sites and detection modes of recurrence and calculated the recurrence-free probabilities. Patients with stage I disease were divided into low- and high-risk recurrence groups using a risk score calculated by assigning points proportional to risk factor regression coefficients.
Of the 112 patients with recurrence, 86 had intrathoracic recurrence. Routine computed tomography (CT) revealed recurrence in 60 patients. The recurrence-free probability curves showed that 95% of recurrences were identified within the first 4 years after resection in patients with stage II/III disease. In patients with stage I disease, the predictors of recurrence included male sex, positive pleural lavage cytology, moderate-to-poor differentiation, and visceral pleural invasion. Postoperative recurrences were detected throughout the follow-up period in the high-risk group.
Routine chest CT plays an important role in the postoperative surveillance of lung adenocarcinoma. We recommend intensive follow-up during the early post-resection period for patients with advanced stage disease and long-term follow-up for high-risk patients with stage I disease.

Background: To determine potential predictors of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurring late after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods: Since 1964, 415 patients had undergone total repair for TOF at Niigata University Hospital. Of these, 89 patients who were followed for more than 10 years at our institute were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The mean follow-up period was 24.3 years. During the study period, one patient died of cerebral bleeding, and two patients had SCD. The overall survival rates at 20, 30, and 40 years were 100%, 94.6%, and 94.6%, respectively. Eight (9.0%) patients required re-intervention during the late period associated with right ventricular outflow (n=4), tricuspid valve (n=3), aortic valve (n=2), and others (n=2). Ten (11.2%) patients had a history of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), and six underwent implantation of an implantable cardiac defibrillator. Multivariate analysis selected the change rate of QRS duration [ms/year; odds ratio (OR), 2.44; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.28-4.65; P=0.007] and the pressure gradient at tricuspid valve regurgitation on echocardiography (OR, 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02-1.22; P=0.017) as risk factors for VT/VF or SCD. Trans-annular patch (TAP) repair was not an independent risk factor for ventricular arrhythmia. Conclusions: The combination of rapid change rate of QRS duration and higher-pressure gradient at tricuspid regurgitation were risk factors for ventricular tachyarrhythmia late after TOF repair. Adequate surgical or catheter intervention for pressure and volume load in the right ventricle might decrease the prevalence of VT/VF and SCD.

A novel strategy of one-stage surgery in combination with thoracic endovascular grafting and resection for T4 lung cancer invading the thoracic aorta and spine is described. A 56-year-old man with locally advanced lung cancer infiltrating the aortic wall and spine underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and thoracic irradiation, followed by en bloc resection of the aortic wall and spine with thoracic endovascular grafting. He developed postoperative chylothorax, but there were no stent graft-related events. After 3 months, computed tomography (CT) did not show aortic stent graft stenosis, migration, or deformation.

For general thoracic surgeons, perioperative management for prevention of cardiac complications is important because patients undergoing general thoracic surgery often have risk factors for cardiac disease. Sever cardiac failure should be detected and treated prior to surgery, and coronary artery may be examined in patients with risk factors for ischemic heart disease. Pulmonary resection sometimes causes right-sided heart failure due to reducing pulmonary vascular bed. In high-risk patients for rightsided heart failure, pulmonary artery pressure monitoring by right heart catheterization should be considered in addition to blood pressure and central venous pressure monitoring, and precise fluid management is required. Because perioperatively occurred myocardial infarction is sometimes lethal, patients with preoperatively identified significant coronary artery stenosis, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting should be considered although surgeons need to be careful for the timing of surgery and anticoagulant therapy. Even if patients have no typical symptoms, perioperative myocardial infarction can be diagnosed 12-lead electrocardiogram and serum biomarkers. Cooperation with cardiologists is necessary for the treatment of perioperative myocardial infarction. Although arrhythmia is one of the major complications after general thoracic surgery, arrhythmia with hemodynamic instability should be immediately treated. Early diagnosis and management of cardiovascular events can minimize the consequences of these complications.

Mutations of the lamin A gene cause various premature aging syndromes, including Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and atypical Werner syndrome. In HGPS (but not atypical Werner syndrome), extensive loss of vascular smooth muscle cells leads to myocardial infarction with premature death. The underlying mechanisms how single gene mutations can cause various phenotypes are largely unknown. We performed an interactome analysis using mutant forms of lamin A involved in progeroid syndromes. We found that the mutant lamin A responsible for HGPS, known as progerin, could not bind to proteins related to the DNA damage response, including DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). In contrast, wild-type lamin A and lamin A mutants causing atypical Werner syndrome were able to bind to these molecules. We also found that forced expression of progerin in vascular smooth muscle cells led to activation of DNA-PK and cellular growth arrest, while knockdown of DNA-PK attenuated this. Deletion of p53 also improved the inhibition of cell growth due to forced expression of progerin. These findings suggested that progerin activates the DNA damage response pathway and that dysregulation of this pathway may be responsible for the development of cardiovascular pathology in patients with HGPS.

Molecular targeting therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has clarified the importance of mutation testing when selecting treatment regimens. As a result, multiple-gene mutation tests are urgently needed. We developed a next-generation sequencer (NGS)-based, multi-gene test named the MINtS for investigating driver mutations in both cytological specimens and snap-frozen tissue samples. The MINtS was used to investigate the EGFR, KRAS, BRAF genes from DNA, and the ERBB2, and the ALK, ROS1, and RET fusion genes from RNA. We focused on high specificity and sensitivity (&gt;= 0.99) and even included samples with a cancer cell content of 1%. The MINtS enables testing of more than 100 samples in a single run, making it possible to process a large number of samples submitted to a central laboratory, and reducing the cost for a single sample. We investigated 96 cytological samples and 190 surgically resected tissues, both of which are isolated in daily clinical practice. With the cytological samples, we compared the results for the EGFR mutation between the MINtS and the PNA-LNA PCR clamp test, and their results were 99% consistent. In the snap-frozen tissue samples, 188/190 (99%) samples were successfully analyzed for all genes investigated using both DNA and RNA. Then, we used 200 cytological samples that were serially isolated in clinical practice to assess RNA quality. Using our procedure, 196 samples (98%) provided high-quality RNA suitable for analysis with the MINtS. We concluded that the MINtS test system is feasible for analyzing ''druggable'' genes using cytological samples and snap-frozen tissue samples. The MINtS will fill a needs for patients for whom only cytological specimens are available for genetic testing.

Purpose: This purpose of this prospective study was to use a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system to evaluate the suitability of our institution's glucose management protocol after cardiovascular surgery and to clarify the impact of glycemic variability on postoperative complications.
Methods: In all, 76 patients who underwent elective cardiovascular surgery and were monitored perioperatively using a CGM system were evaluated. Postoperative glucose management consisted of continuous intravenous insulin infusion (CIII) in the intensive care unit, and subcutaneous insulin injections (SQII) after oral food intake started. CIII and subcutaneous injections were initiated when blood glucose level exceeded 150 mg/dL. CGM data were used to analyze perioperative glycemic variability and association with postoperative complications.
Results: Target glucose levels (71-180 mg/dL) were achieved during 97.1 +/- 5.5% and 86.4 +/- 19.0% of the continuous insulin infusion and subcutaneous injection periods, respectively. Major postoperative complications were surgical site infections, found in 6.6% of total patients, and atrial fibrillation, found in 44% of patients with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. High glycemic variability during SQII was associated with increased risk for both complications.
Conclusion: Data analysis revealed that our glucose management protocol during CIII was adequate. However, the management protocol during SQII required improvement.

BACKGROUND: Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is an uncommon pathological situation, which involves the presence of bland, fibrin-platelet thrombi. It usually occurs at the endocardium of cardiac valves, in association with endothelial injury and a hypercoagulative state. However, NBTE on the endocardium at the right atrial free wall in a patient without any apparent hypercoagulative background is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A girl aged 4 years with severe pectus excavatum was referred to our hospital for treatment of a recurrent right atrial tumor. The tumor was removed concomitant with pectus excavatum repair. The tumor was revealed as recurrent thrombus. Pathological findings showed that NBTE caused by an operative scar on the endocardium of the right atrium and sustained rheological stress in the right atrium due to compression from pectus excavatum lead to recurrent thrombus formation. Three years after the discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy, no sign of thrombus formation was found. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first report of NBTE related to an interaction between sustained rheological stress from cardiac compression and endocardial injury. In such patients, we recommend concomitant chest wall repair when the operative scar is present at the site of the rheological force.

Atresia of the left coronary artery ostium is extremely rare. We report the case of a 13-year-old boy who played volleyball in school and collapsed with severe chest pain during practice. He was referred to our hospital, and imaging modalities showed atresia of the left main coronary artery ostium. Urgent coronary ostioplasty was performed using a patch of 0.6% glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. His postoperative course was uneventful, and he has had a normal everyday life without chest pain 8 months postoperatively. Physicians should be aware of the patient's history, as in this case, because prompt imaging diagnosis is essential when there is a high likelihood that the event is related to myocardial ischemia. Since long-term outcome is uncertain even after successful surgical revascularization, close follow-up is required.

We report here a case of fatal respiratory failure developed during chemotherapy for diffuse large B cell lymphoma that occurred late after lung transplantation. 25-year- old man underwent lung transplantation from brain death donor for respiratory failure due to interstitial pneumonia at the age of 16 years old. Two years after transplantation, his respiratory function decreased gradually. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction including bronchiolitis obliterans( BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome was suspected and immunosuppression was enhanced. Nine years after transplantation, he had abdominal pain and physical examination suggested intestinal obstruction. Small intestine endoscopy revealed an ulcer at jejunum and diffuse large B cell lymphoma( DLBCL) was finally diagnosed by biopsy. Chemotherapy was planned for lymphoma, but respiratory failure progressed just before chemotherapy. Chest computed tomography showed infiltrative shadow in right lung, so we suspected presence of lymphoma and chemotherapy was carried out. After chemotherapy, abnormal shadow in the right lung disappeared. Although chemotherapy was effective, respiratory failure progressed and he died. Pathological examination from autopsy showed mixture of BOS, diffuse alveolar damage, invasion of aspergillus and acute fibrinoid organizing pneumonia but no residual DLBCL was found in the lung.

Hydrodynamic gene delivery is a common method for gene transfer to the liver of small animals, and its clinical applicability in large animals has been demonstrated. Previous studies focused on functional analyses of therapeutic genes in animals with normal livers and little, however, is known regarding its effectiveness and safety in animals with liver fibrosis. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of liver fibrosis on hydrodynamic gene delivery efficiency using a rat liver fibrosis model. We demonstrated for the first time, using pCMV-Luc plasmid, that this procedure is safe and that the amount of fibrotic tissue in the liver decreases gene delivery efficiency, resulting in decrease in luciferase activity depending on the volume of fibrotic tissue in the liver and the number of hepatocytes that are immunohistochemically stained positive for transgene product. We further demonstrate that antifibrotic gene therapy with matrix metalloproteinase-13 gene reduces liver fibrosis and improves efficiency of hydrodynamic gene delivery. These results demonstrate the negative effects of fibrotic tissue on hydrodynamic gene delivery and its recovery by appropriate antifibrotic therapy.

A 15-day-old boy after intracardiac repair was discharged from the intensive care unit with a low-flow nasal cannula for oxygen administration. The cannula was a 4-Fr multi-purpose tube with a side hole that was inserted into his left nostril. Next day, he suddenly developed pneumocephalus emerging from the right periorbital swelling and extending to his face and subcutaneous scalp over the next 6 h. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed massive air pockets in the orbit, subdural space, subcutaneous scalp, and face. The nasal cannula was found to have been inserted deeper than we thought and was thus presumed to be the source of the air pockets. We immediately removed the cannula. Follow-up CTs revealed rapid resolution of the intracranial and subcutaneous air. The subcutaneous emphysema completely disappeared over the next 4 days, and he was discharged without any incident.

Ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)-producing bronchopulmonary carcinoid arising in a bronchopulmonary sequestration is extremely rare. The case of a 67-year-old woman with a 1.7-cm nodule in the mediastinal side of the left lower lobe is presented. At 52 years of age, she was diagnosed as having ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (CS). However, no ectopic source of ACTH-secretion was detected. Seven years later, she underwent a bilateral adrenalectomy because of aggravation of her health condition. This time, tumor excision was performed by thoracoscopic surgery. The tumor adhered sparsely to the mediastinal pleura and the left lower lobe and was bluntly separated from these tissues. Pathologically, the tumor was a typical carcinoid arising in an extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the secretion of ACTH by bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor cells. After surgery, the serum ACTH level was almost normalized, and the dexamethasone (1 mg) suppression test showed significant suppression of ACTH.

Background. The indication for limited resection of radiologically pure solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is controversial owing to its invasive pathologic characteristics. This study was performed to compare the outcomes after lobectomy and segmentectomy in these NSCLC patients.
Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 251 patients with radiologically pure solid cT1a NO MO NSCLC who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy, and the preoperative characteristics of the patients treated with the two operative techniques were matched using propensity score methods. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) curves were compared using the log rank test, and differences in survival were also evaluated by the McNemar test. The preoperative factors and surgical procedure were analyzed with the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model to identify independent predictors of poor OS and DFS.
Results. In the propensity score matched lobectomy and segmentectomy groups (87 patients per group), the 5-year and 10-year OS rates were 85% versus 84% and 66% versus 63%, respectively; and the 5-year and 10-year DFS rates were 80% versus 77% and 64% versus 58%, respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups in OS or DFS by the log rank test, and also no significant differences in 3-year, 5-year, or 7-year OS or DFS by the McNemar test. Although age, smoking status, pulmonary function, and carcinoembryonic antigen were identified as significant predictors of both OS and DFS, the surgical procedure was not identified.
Conclusions. Similar oncologic outcomes after lobectomy and segmentectomy were indicated among patients with radiologically pure solid small-sized NSCLC. (C) 2016 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

OBJECTIVE: Endovascular repair for retrograde type A aortic dissection with an entry in the descending aorta (RAAD) is challenging. We present early and mid- term results of endovascular repair for acute phase of RAAD by using commercially-available device. METHODS: From April 2012 to June 2014, 10 consecutive patients with acute phase of RAAD underwent endovascular repair in our hospital. Of them, 9 patients had emergency surgery within 24 hours after the onset. The other one patient had urgent surgery 3 days after the onset. In all patients, the entry tear was covered with TAG or conformable TAG. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in all patients. No in-hospital mortality was experienced. In all patients, follow-up computed tomography images showed significant remodeling in the ascending aorta 3 months after surgery. During a median follow-up period of 19.5 months, no patients died and no re-intervention occurred. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with acute phase of RAAD, endovascular repair with commercially-available device can be safely performed and it provides sufficient remodeling in the ascending aorta early after surgery. This technique is an alternative to open repair in these patients.

Liver fibrosis is the final stage of liver diseases that lead to liver failure and cancer. While various diagnostic methods, including the use of serum marker, have been established, no standard therapy has been developed. The objective of this study was to assess the approach of overexpressing matrix metalloproteinase-13 gene (MMP13) in rat liver to prevent liver fibrosis progression. A rat liver fibrosis model was established by ligating the bile duct, followed by liver-targeted hydrodynamic gene delivery of a MMP13 expression vector, containing a CAG promoter-MMP13-IRES-tdTomato-polyA cassette. After 14 days, the serum level of MMP13 peaked at 71.7 pg/ml in MMP13-treated group, whereas the nontreated group only showed a level of similar to 5 pg/ml (P &lt; 0.001). These levels were sustained for the next 60 days. The statistically lower level of the hyaluronic acids in treated group versus the nontreated group (P &lt; 0.05) reveals the therapeutic effect of MMP13 overexpression. Quantitative analysis of tissue stained with sirius red showed a statistically larger volume of fibrotic tissue in the nontreated group compared to that of MMP13-treated rats (P &lt; 0.05). These results suggest that the liver-targeted hydrodynamic delivery of MMP13 gene could be effective in the prevention of liver fibrosis.

Objectives: Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a unique disorder. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of lung cancer patients with CPFE and those with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) without emphysema.
Methods: A total of 1548 patients who underwent surgery for primary lung cancer between January 2001 and December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Of the 1548 patients, 55 (3.6%) had CPFE on computed tomography (CT), and 45 (2.9%) had IPF without emphysema. The overall and disease-free 5-year survival rates for patients with CPFE were not significantly worse than those for patients with IPF without emphysema (24.9% vs. 36.8%, p = 0.814; 39.8% vs. 39.3%, p = 0.653, respectively). Overall, 21 (38.1%) patients with CPFE and nine patients (20.0%) with IPF without emphysema developed postoperative cardiopulmonary complications. Patients with CPFE had significantly more postoperative cardiopulmonary complications involving pulmonary air leakage for &gt; 6 days, hypoxemia, and arrhythmia than patients with IPF without emphysema (p = 0.048).
Conclusions: There was no significant difference in survival after surgical treatment between CPFE patients and IPF patients without emphysema, but CPFE patients had significantly higher morbidity than IPF patients without emphysema.

The surgical strategy for coexisting lung cancer and aneurysm is controversial owing to the risk of aneurysm rupture during the perioperative period of pulmonary resection. We performed simultaneous pulmonary resection and endovascular repair in 2 patients with coexisting lung cancer and aneurysm. Case 1:A 74-year-old man presented at our hospital with cT2aN0M0 lung cancer and a 5.0 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm. Because computed tomography indicated the possibility of advanced lung cancer, we decided to perform simultaneous surgery for lung cancer and the aneurysm. Under general anesthesia, endovascular aneurysm repair was performed before right lower lobectomy with lymphadenectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 12. Case 2:A 72-year-old man presented at our hospital with cT2aN1M0 lung cancer, a 5.0 cm left internal iliac artery aneurysm, and right renal cell carcinoma( RCC). Because the lung cancer was advanced and the patients needed following surgical treatment for RCC, we decided to perform simultaneous surgery for lung cancer and the aneurysm. Under general anesthesia, endovascular aneurysm repair was performed before right upper lobectomy with lymphadenectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 11.

Objectives: To assess the prognostic value of combined evaluation of preoperative CT findings and pre/postoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels for pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma.
Methods: This retrospective study included 250 consecutive patients who underwent complete resection for &lt;= 3-cm pathological stage I (T1-2aNOMO) adenocarcinomas (132 men, 118 women; mean age, 67.8 years). Radiologists evaluated following CT findings: maximum tumor diameter, percentage of solid component (%solid), air bronchogram, spiculation, adjacency of bullae or interstitial pneumonia (IP) around the tumor, notch, and pleural indent. These CT findings, pre/postoperative CEA levels, age, gender, and Brinkman index were assessed by Cox proportional hazards model to determine the best prognostic model. Prognostic accuracy was examined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Results: Median follow-up period was 73.2 months. In multivariate analysis, high %solid, adjacency of bullae or IP around the tumor, and high postoperative CEA levels comprised the best combination for predicting recurrence (P &lt; 0.05). A combination of these three findings had a greater accuracy in predicting 5-year disease-free survival than did %solid alone (AUC = 0.853 versus 0.792; P = 0.023), with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 74.3% at the optimal threshold. The best cut-off values of %solid and postoperative CEA levels for predicting high-risk patients were &gt;= 48% and &gt;= 3.7 ng/mL, respectively.
Conclusion: Compared to %solid alone, combined evaluation of %solid, adjacency of bullae or IP change around the tumor, and postoperative CEA levels improves recurrence prediction for stage I lung adenocarcinoma. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Few reports have described surgical resection for second primary lung cancers originating close to the initial surgical margin for lung cancer. A 64-year-old man had undergone left segmentectomy with lymph node dissection for small peripheral squamous cell lung cancer using video-assisted thoracic surgery, with pathology confirming a small tumor 12 mm in diameter identified about 3 cm from the surgical margin. Eighteen months after initial surgery, computed tomography revealed a 30 mm pulmonary nodule close to the initial surgical margin in the residual left upper lobe and the serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen was found to be increased. Local recurrence on the staple-line of the surgical margin was suspected, and completion left upper lobectomy was performed. Histological examination identified not only a squamous cell carcinoma component but also a small cell carcinoma component. The immunohistochemical staining pattern of the second tumor differed from that of the initial resected lung squamous cell carcinoma. The final pathological diagnosis was a second primary tumor with mixed small cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma histology.

A 65-year-old male with end stage renal failure due to IgA nephritis commenced continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Three weeks after initiation of CAPD, right hydrothorax developed. Then, we strongly assumed pleuroperitoneal communication( PPC) although the pleural effusion did not show high concentration of glucose. He underwent thoracoscopic surgery for PPC. On the inner, central tendons part of the diaphragm, there were a few blebs. One hour after 3 l of peritoneal dialysis solution containing 15 ml indigocarmine was instilled into the abdomen through a CAPD catheter, the blebs were tense and colored blue by the dye solution. The blebs were directly sutured and diaphragm was covered by polyglycolic acid sheet and fibrin glue all over. Since then, he resumed CAPD, without recurrence of hydrothorax. Then we investigated the treatment outcome of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for PPC in Japan. The outcome was poorer in cases in which communication was not detected intraoperatively. These patients should be given sufficient consideration for surgical procedure.

症例は男児。在胎40週0日、体重3,465gで仮死なく出生した。生直後より高度のチアノーゼを認め心エコー検査にて両大血管右室起始・大動脈弓離断症と診断された。同日よりプロスタグランディン製剤の持続静注が開始され、当院NICUへ緊急搬送された。高肺血流に伴う急性心不全状態であったため、4生日に両側肺動脈絞扼術を施行した。術後に利尿が得られ全身状態は改善したが心不全状態が継続したため、9生日時に根治手術を行った。胸骨再正中切開下に上下半身分離体外循環を確立し、三尖弁経由にVSDから心室内血流路を作成し、次にtrap door法を用いて冠動脈移植を行った。Lecompte maneuverの後に大動脈弓再建(直接吻合)を行った。さらに右室流出路をパッチで拡大し、大動脈遮断解除後に肺動脈再建を行った。人工心肺離脱はとくに問題なく、開胸状態で手術を終了し4病日に閉胸し14病日に人工呼吸器を離脱した。術後に肺炎・乳び胸などを合併したが内科的治療にて改善し、78病日に退院した。(著者抄録)

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is very rare in the paediatric population and has not been described in a single-ventricle patient yet. We report the case of a 4-year old boy with a history of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in whom we performed a Fontan operation. After coil embolization of the minor aortopulmonary collateral arteries, the patient developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. His cardiac function largely recovered over 3 months. He subsequently progressed to a Fontan operation and was weaned uneventfully off cardiopulmonary bypass, on minimal doses of dopamine and milrinone; he was sedated using a dexmedetomidine infusion and a midazolam bolus. There were no signs of recurrent Takotsubo cardiomyopathy over the subsequent 2 years.

We report herein a rare case of endocardial blood cyst (EBC) in an adult patient. A 63-year-old asymptomatic woman underwent echocardiography, which incidentally detected a cardiac tumor in the right atrium. On echocardiography, the tumor was revealed to be a 30-mm round mass with thin, hyperechogenic walls and heterogeneously hypoechogenic contents. The lesion was attached to the septum. On computed tomography, the tumor appeared partly calcified and showed poor contrast-enhancement. On magnetic resonance imaging, the lesion appeared isointense or slightly hyperintense in T1 and T2-weighted sequences. Myxoma was strongly suspected based on these preoperative imaging findings. The tumor was successfully excised under cardiopulmonary bypass. Gross examination confirmed that the cyst was filled with blood. The cystic walls comprised thin-layered fibrous tissue lined with endocardial cells. No tumor cells were found. The diagnosis of EBC was confirmed based on histopathological examination, and the postoperative course was uneventful.

OBJECTIVE: Although lobectomy is the standard surgical procedure for operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sublobar resection also has been undertaken for various reasons. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of locoregional recurrence and poor disease-specific survival in patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC undergoing sublobar resection. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 328 patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC who underwent segmentectomy or wedge resection. Demographic, clinical, and pathologic factors were analyzed using the log-rank test as univariate analyses, and all factors were entered into a Cox proportional hazards regression model for multivariate analyses to identify independent predictors of locoregional recurrence and poor disease-specific survival. RESULTS: The 5- and 10-year locoregional recurrence-free probabilities were 84.8% and 83.6%, respectively, and the 5- and 10-year disease-specific survivals were 83.6% and 73.6%, respectively. Four independent predictors of locoregional recurrence were identified: wedge resection (hazard ratio [HR], 5.787), microscopic positive surgical margin (HR, 3.888), visceral pleural invasion (HR, 2.272),

Four independent predictors of locoregional recurrence were identified: wedge resection (hazard ratio [HR], 5.787), microscopic positive surgical margin (HR, 3.888), visceral pleural invasion (HR, 2.272), and lymphatic permeation (HR, 3.824). Independent predictors of poor disease-specific survival were identified as follows: smoking status (Brinkman Index; HR, 1.001), wedge resection (HR, 3.183), microscopic positive surgical margin (HR, 3.211), visceral pleural invasion (HR, 2.553), and lymphatic permeation (HR, 3.223). All 4 predictors of locoregional recurrence also were identified as independent predictors of poor disease-specific survival.
Conclusions: Segmentectomy should be the surgical procedure of first choice in patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC who are being considered for sublobar resection. Patients having tumors presenting with no suspicious of pleural involvement would be suitable candidates for sublobar resection.

Tracheobronchial obstruction and unilateral hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery are serious barriers to successful Fontan completion. We describe a 5-year old girl with left bronchial obstruction, hypoplasia of the left pulmonary artery and a single ventricle (double inlet left ventricle). She had undergone external stenting to treat left bronchial stenosis at 3 years of age, bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis at 4 years of age, intrapulmonary artery septation 1 year later and, finally, completion of the Fontan operation with excellent postoperative haemodynamics.

Objective: We examined the hypothesis that a 1 C reduction in body temperature would reduce gray and white matter injury induced by spinal cord ischemia in rats. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between reactive astrogliosis and gray or white matter injury after spinal cord ischemia with a 1 C reduction in body temperature or normothermia.
Methods: Rats were randomly divided into hypothermia (1 C decrease in body temperature to 36.3 degrees C), normothermia (37.3 degrees C), and sham surgery groups (n = 6/group). Hypothermia was induced 15 minutes before ischemia and maintained during ischemia. Animals were then rewarmed to normothermia. Spinal cord ischemia was induced by a balloon catheter in the thoracic aorta, and the proximal mean arterial blood pressure was maintained at 40 mm Hg for 14 minutes. Hind limb motor function was assessed at 2, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after reperfusion. At 28 days after reperfusion, gray matter damage was assessed by counting the number of normal motor neurons and white matter damage by the extent of vacuolation. The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive area fraction (GFAP%) was determined in white and gray matter structures to measure reactive astrogliosis.
Results: Compared with normothermia, hypothermia significantly improved hind limb function at all assessments (P &lt; .01) and increased numbers of normal gray matter motor neurons (39 +/- 20 vs 99 +/- 13, respectively; P &lt; .001), decreased the percentage area of white matter vacuolation (9.0% +/- 2.7% vs 1.6% +/- 1.3%, respectively; P = .001), and decreased the GFAP% in gray (P = .003) and white matter (P = .009).
Conclusions: Prophylactic mild hypothermia (1 C reduction in body temperature) preserved hind limb motor function and reduced neuronal death, white matter vacuolation, and astrogliosis in gray and white matter induced by spinal cord ischemia in rats. Thus, mild hypothermia may be useful for perioperative management of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. (J Vasc Surg 2013;57:173-81.)
Clinical Relevance: Hypothermia (3 degrees-4 degrees C decrease in temperature) is known to protect the spinal cord from ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, hypothermia can also cause serious secondary complications. In this study, a 1 degrees C reduction in body temperature induced before spinal cord ischemia provided marked and persisting neuroprotection and reduced gliosis, without adverse effects. These data suggest that very mild hypothermia may be applied clinically to avoid systemic complications.

BACKGROUND: Surgery of the thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta may cause spinal cord ischemia and subsequent paraplegia. However, conventional strategies for preventing paraplegia due to spinal cord ischemia provide insufficient protection and cause additional side effects. We hypothesized that simvastatin, a drug recently shown to be neuroprotective against brain ischemia/reperfusion, would be neuroprotective in a rat spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion model.
METHODS: Rats were randomly assigned to simvastatin, vehicle, or sham-surgery (sham) groups (n = 6 per group). Simvastatin (10 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered subcutaneously once daily for 7 days before aortic balloon occlusion, and once at 24 hours after reperfusion. Spinal cord ischemia was induced by balloon inflation of a 2F Fogarty catheter in the thoracic aorta, and the proximal mean arterial blood pressure was maintained at 40 mm Hg for 12 minutes. The sham group received the same operation without inflation of the balloon. Ischemic injury was assessed by hindlimb motor function using the Motor Deficit Index score at 6 to 48 hours after ischemic reperfusion, and histological assessment of the spinal cord was performed 48 hours after reperfusion.
RESULTS: The Motor Deficit Index scores at 24 and 48 hours after reperfusion were significantly improved in the simvastatin group compared with the vehicle group (P = 0.021 and P = 0.023, respectively). Furthermore, there were significantly more normal motor neurons in the simvastatin group than in the vehicle group (P = 0.037). The percentage area of white matter vacuolation was significantly smaller in the simvastatin group than in the vehicle group (P = 0.030).
CONCLUSIONS: Simvastatin treatment can attenuate hindlimb motor dysfunction and histopathological changes in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. (Anesth Analg 2011; 113: 565-71)

Background. The clinical significance of operative treatment for metachronous pulmonary metastasis from esophageal carcinoma is unclear.
Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 23 consecutive patients who underwent operative resection for metachronous pulmonary metastasis from esophageal carcinoma from 1991 to 2008. Patient baseline characteristics, survival probability, and prognostic factors were analyzed. The median follow-up period was 31 months for surviving patients.
Results. There were 19 men and 4 women, with a median age of 66 years at the time of pulmonary resection. The median disease-free interval was 15.5 months. Cervical or mediastinal lymph node metastases preceded pulmonary metastases in 4 patients. Seven patients (30.4%) had multiple metastases with a maximum number of 4. The median operative time and blood loss were 94.5 minutes and 18 mL, respectively. The median length of postoperative stay was 12.5 days. The predicted 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates using the Kaplan-Meier method were 73.9%, 43.5%, and 43.5%, respectively, with a median survival time of 28.7 months. Univariate analysis revealed that an extrapulmonary metastasis as the initial recurrence site was an unfavorable prognostic factor (P = .0411). Multivariate analyses, however, did not identify the initial recurrence site as an independent prognostic factor (P =. 0542).
Conclusion. Operative resection for metachronous pulmonary metastasis from esophageal carcinoma is an acceptable treatment. This study of a limited number of patients may have created a constitutional selection bias. An antecedent extrapulmonary metastasis was found to be an unfavorable prognostic factor.

Thymic carcinoma is a rare tumor. The most common histological subtype is squamous cell carcinoma, and only a few cases of thymic adenocarcinoma have been reported. A case of papillary adenocarcinoma of thymic origin that coexisted with type AB thymoma as a separate nodule is presented herein. The patient was found to have an abnormal mediastinal shadow on chest X-ray. A computed tomography scan revealed a round, 6.5-cm-diameter mass in the right anterior mediastinum. The preoperative diagnosis was thymoma, and thymothymectomy was performed. On pathological examination, two tumors, which were diagnosed as papillary adenocarcinoma and type AB thymoma, respectively, were present in the thymus without any connection with each other. The patient has been alive without any signs of recurrence for 11 years after surgery. We diagnosed the adenocarcinoma in this case was a primary thymic carcinoma. © 2010 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Background. Thymic carcinoma is a rare tumor. Limited data are available regarding the effectiveness of treatment and the prognosis of thymic carcinoma. The present study aimed to clarify the prognostic factors in patients who underwent resection.
Methods. The study retrospectively reviewed 21 patients (15 men, 6 women) with thymic carcinoma who had undergone resection at Niigata University Hospital.
Results. Masaoka stage was II in 4 patients, III in 9, IVa in 2, and IVb in 6. Histologic subtypes were squamous cell carcinoma in 14 patients, adenocarcinoma in 2, atypical carcinoid in 3, and undifferentiated carcinoma in 2. Histologic grade by degree of differentiation was low in 4 tumors, intermediate in 12, and high in 5. Treatment comprised resection alone in 6 patients and resection along with multimodal therapies in 15. Complete resection was achieved in 14 (67%). Eight patients died of tumor. Recurrence was documented in 7 of 14 patients with complete resection, and 5 received additional treatment. The overall 5-year survival rate was 61.1%, and the disease-free 5-year survival rate was 66.8% for the 14 with complete resection. By multivariate analysis, Masaoka stage and histologic grade were significant independent prognostic factors for overall survival.
Conclusions. The surgical outcome of patients with thymic carcinoma depends on the Masaoka stage and histologic grade. Patients with early Masaoka stage and low or intermediate histologic grade had favorable prognoses. (Ann Thorac Surg 2010;89:912-7) (C) 2010 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

We report a 20-year-old woman who underwent complete resection of a granular cell tumor (GCT). On chest computed tomography (CT) scan, a mass with a maximum diameter of 36 mm at the lower bronchus with atelectasis of the right lower lobe was noted. Bronchoscopic examination revealed a whitish mass in the truncus intermedius, and the middle and lower bronchus were unable to be seen. A cytopathological examination of the mass revealed GCT. A right middle and lower lobectomy was performed via a posterolateral thoracotomy. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of polygonal cells with oxyphilic granular cytoplasm and small ovoid nuclei. The cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells was positive for S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and she was asymptomatic after 4 months. A large bronchial GCT is rare, which is why we report this case. © 2009 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

We performed a right upper lobectomy with prosthetic replacement of the superior vena cava (SVC) through a posterolateral thoracotomy in a 65-year-old man undergoing complete resection of a locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with invasion of the SVC. Instead of using a vascular shunt, the right atrium and a right brachiocephalic vein (BCV) were anastomosed using a ringed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft. During the anastomosis, vascular flow was maintained through the left BCV. By using this technique, SVC resection and reconstruction during lung cancer surgery can be safely performed through a posterolateral thoracotomy without blood flow interruption.

Objective. To improve surgical related mortality, Niigata Chest Surgery Group registered primary lung cancer patients who were operated on in 2001 and prospectively analyzed these patients. Patients. A total of 558 primary lung cancer patients underwent resection between January 2001 and December 2001. Results. There were 352 men (63.1%) and 206 women (36.9%), with an overall median age of 66.7 years. The overall 5-year survival rate was 65.1%, 55.8% in men and 80.9% in women. Complications related to operations were observed in 37 cases (6.6%) and the operative mortality was 0.7% (4 cases). The 5-year survival rates, in relation to reason for detection were as follows: Screening group (n = 284)
75.5%, Other disease group (n = 175)
57.3%, Symptomatic group (n = 99)
48.8%. The 5-year survival rates estimated by p-stage were: IA (n = 297)
79.9%, IB (n = 124)
67.4%, IIA (n = 16)
66.7%, IIB (n = 40)
27.5%, IIIA (n = 47)
32.7%, IIIB (n = 21)
23.8%, IV (n = 13)
0.0%. The 5-year survival rates according to histologic type were: adenocarcinoma 69.5% (n = 388), squamous cell carcinoma 52.1% (n = 128), large cell carcinoma 61.5% (n = 13), small cell carcinoma 71.4% (n = 7), carcinoid 62.5% (n = 8), and others 64.3% (n = 14). Conclusion. We determined the characteristics of lung cancer patients and the results of their operative treatment in Niigata Prefecture. We anticipate registering more lung cancer patients to expand this database of patients. The availability of this database should help to improve the lung cancer treatment in Niigata Prefecture. © 2009 The Japan Lung Cancer Society.

The enzymes thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) are involved in the metabolism of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (FU). Expression of TS, DPD and OPRT in cancer tissue has been reported to be associated with sensitivity and/or resistance to 5-FU therapy. However, the role of TS, DPD and OPRT expression in lung cancer has not been fully established. Furthermore, among several measuring methods, it is not clear which method effectively predicts the response to 5-FU therapy. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of 5-FU-related enzymes using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to examine the correlation of ELISA and the results obtained using different measuring methods such as reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, and enzymatic activity. Lung cancer specimens were obtained from 134 patients who underwent curative resection for lung cancer. As a pilot study, enzyme expression of 11 samples was measured using 4 different methods for DPD: RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, enzymatic activity and ELISA. The relationships between pairs of results were compared, and then enzyme protein expression was measured using ELISA in 119 patients with adenocarcinoma. Of the 4 independent methods, the highest correlation was observed between protein expression measured by ELISA and enzyme activity. The correlation of gene expression and ELISA was also significant. The protein level in stage I adenocarcinoma measured using ELISA was 13.0+/-24.8 ng/mg protein for TS, 362.2+/-264.3 ng/mg protein for DPD and 4.5+/-2.0 ng/mg protein for OPRT. The predictive value of the enzymes for prognosis and the effectiveness of 5-FU was not determined as few recurrences were observed during the short follow-up period. In conclusion, ELISA is a simple and reliable method to measure key enzymes related to 5-FU therapy.

Background: Overexpression of KIT, a tyrosine kinase receptor protein encoded by the protooncogene c-kit, is observed in human neoplasms such as gastrointestinal stromal. tumors (GISTs), myetoproliferative disorders, melanoma and seminoma. In patients with GIST, overexpression of mutated KIT within the tumor is predictive of response to molecular targeted therapy using imatinib. However, the rote of KIT expression in thymic carcinoma is not fully understood.
Methods: Thymic epithelial. tumors from 37 patients (17 thymic carcinomas and 20 thymomas) were examined. Immunohistochemical staining with anti-KIT polyclonal antibody and anti-CD5 was performed. Mutation analyses in the juxtamembrane domains, exons 9 and 11, and in the tyrosine kinase domains, exons 13 and 17, were undertaken using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing in KIT-positive samples.
Results: KIT- and CD5-positive staining was observed only in thymic carcinoma. Percentage of positive staining was 100% in squamous cell carcinoma, with no positive staining in other histologies, including atypical carcinoid. Mutation analysis of the KIT gene was performed in 11 squamous cell carcinomas, 1 adenocarcinoma and 1 adenosquamous ceit carcinoma. None of the tested samples showed mutations in any of the four exons.
Conclusions: Squamous cell carcinoma of the thymus frequently expressed KIT and CD5 proteins, whereas other tumors did not. Unlike GIST, overexpression of KIT does not necessarily indicate gene mutation in thymic carcinoma. KIT and CD5 appear useful for evaluating and subtyping thymic epithelial, tumors.

We describe an 88-year-old woman with gas-forming submental cellulitis in whom nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastric ulcer led to hemorrhagic shock during treatment of an odontogenic infection. Hemodynamic treatment had to take priority, and intensive treatment for inflammation could not be performed. This apparently led to the development of descending necrotizing mediastinitis. During the six days of hospitalization, she took a total of 6 tablets of loxoprofen sodium (60 mg) and 1 diclofenac sodium suppository (25 mg) for analgesia after treatment.&lt;BR&gt;Retrospectively, if decisive and aggressive treatment for inflammation had been performed earlier after hospitalization, inflammation may have resolved sooner. Our experience reconfirms that the initial treatment of odontogenic infection is extremely important in very elderly patients. Even if NSAIDs are received for a short period of time in small doses, gastrointestinal hemorrhage can occur, as in our patient. Patients at high risk for gastrointestinal ulcer should receive prophylactic treatment with cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibitors orproton pump inhibitors.Generally, very elderly patients have a high risk of complications because of considerable age-related declines in physical ability and functional reserve of organs. Very cautious treatment is therefore necessary.

During follow-up of patients after primary lung cancer resections, small nodules or ground-glass opacities (GGOs) are sometimes detected on chest computed tomography. We report a case with multiple GGOs that were noted after primary lung cancer resection. A 76-year-old woman, who had undergone right upper lobectomy, middle lobe partial resection, and mediastinal lymph node dissection 3 years earlier, was admitted owing to five GGOs in the right lower lobe that had been increasing in size or density. A right S6+10 segmentectomy was performed. On histology, one adenocarcinoma and four bronchioloalveolar carcinomas (BACs), as well as two additional BACs that had not been detected preoperatively, were identified. No complications occurred postoperatively. Three years 4 months later, no tumor recurrence or new lesions have been found. Given the high possibility of malignancy, the appearance of new GGOs in patients with a history of lung cancer requires appropriate investigation. © 2008 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Background: Electroporation has been shown to increase the efficacy of intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA, resulting in a higher level of foreign gene expression. Using this technique, we examined the effect of viral IL-10 gene transfer on the prevention of tracheal allograft stenosis in an animal model.
Methods: On the day of tracheal transplantation, recipient Lewis rats were intramuscularly injected with either plasmid pCAGGS-LacZ or plasmid pCAGGS-viral IL-10, followed immediately by electroporation. Tracheas from Brown Norway donors were transplanted into the backs of Lewis recipients, and the histology of the grafts were assessed 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation.
Results: The serum level of IL-10 peaked at 2000 pg/ml one day after injection: the level then slowly decreased, but was maintained above 1000 pg/ml until 8 days after injection. At Day 28, the airway lumina of the tracheal allografts were almost completely obliterated by fibroproliferative tissue in the control pCAGGS-LacZ-treated rats. In rats injected once with pCAGGS-viral IL-10, luminal obliteration was significantly decreased compared with the control pCAGGS-LacZ-treated rats (mean luminal opening 46.8% vs 0% p&lt;0.05). The loss of epithelial cells lining the airway was also decreased in the IL-10-treated group (mean epithelial coverage 42% vs 5% p&lt;0.05). Multiple injections with pCAGGS-viral IL-10 did not further improve the histological changes.
Conclusion: IL-10 gene transfer by intramuscular injection using electroporation attenuated tracheal allograft stenosis associated with mild epithelial injury. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Studies have demonstrated that cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) adversely affects pulmonary circulation, which is involved in metabolism in the lung, and that pulmonary circulation after CPB can restore the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level mainly standing for levels of key vasostimulators augmented during CPB, which may influence systemic tissue perfusion and body oxygen metabolism. However, in lung transplantation (Lx), pulmonary circulation is restored to the graft, which might induce another CPB reaction. We prospectively examined the influence of CPB on body oxygen metabolism in Lx. Left Lx was successfully performed on 10 dogs (group-on: with normothermic CPB without cardiac arrest, group-off. without CPB; n = 5 vs. 5). At 30 minutes after graft perfusion, the right pulmonary artery and bronchus were clamped. Body weight, donor-to-recipient body weight ratio, and clinical parameters were comparable between the two groups, except for the hematocrit level during CPB. At 90 minutes after graft perfusion, mixed venous oxygen saturation (SVO2) was lower (p &lt; 0.01) and 02 extraction rate (p &lt; 0.01), PGE2 (p = 0.025), and arterial blood ketone body ratio (KBR) (p &lt; 0.01) were higher in group-on than in group-off, whereas these parameters were comparable before graft perfusion between the two groups. 02 consumption and acetic acid were higher in group-on than in group-off, whereas 0, delivery and 3-hydroxy propioic acid were comparable between the groups. In conclusion, Lx during CPB may induce a new inflammatory reaction and influence body oxygen metabolism, contrary to the restoration of pulmonary circulation after CPB.

Purpose: Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by neutrophil accumulation in the lungs and the activation of several cytokines produced by macrophages. Olprinone hydrochloride, a specific phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, has anti-inflammatory effects and inhibits the activation of macrophages, in addition to its inotropic and vasodilatory effects. The purpose of this study was to examine the beneficial effects of olprinone on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pulmonary inflammation.
Materials and methods: Lung inflammation was produced by intravenous LPS injection into rats. The rats were divided into four groups: it vehicle group in which normal saline wits injected, an olprinone group in which olprinone was injected at it dose of 0.2 mg/kg, a dexamethasone group in which dexamethasone was injected at a dose of 5 mg/kg, and a control group. In each group, drug was injected intraperitoneally 30 min before the intravenous administration of LPS. The blood was obtained at I h and then animals were sacrificed at 6h and blood and ling specimen were obtained for cytokine analysis and pathological examination. On another set of experiment, bronchioloalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed for cytokine analysis of BAL fluid. The macrophages isolated from normal rat by BAL were Cultured in vitro with the presence of LPS and olprinone or dexamethasone. and supernatant was collected. The levels of several cytokines in the serum, in the BAL fluid, and in the culture supernatant were determined.
Results: The animals injected with LPS were found to have an influx of neutrophils in the lungs, and inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha and IL-6, and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were produced. Pretreatment with olprinone or dexamethasone significantly inhibited the LPS-induced neutrophil influx into the lungs, suppressed inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6. The level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 increased in an olprinone group. The inhibition of TNF-alpha and IL-6, and the augmentation of IL-10 release were also observed in in vitro culture of isolated rat alveolar macrophages when olprinone (10(-5) mol/ml) and LPS (10 mu g/ml) were cultured together. However, the level of IL-10 in serum and Culture Supernatant Was Suppressed in a dexamesathone group.
Conclusion: LPS-induced lung inflammation is strongly inhibited by olprinone accompanying the enhancement of IL-10 and the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines. Results of the in vitro experiment suggest that alveolar macrophages may play an important role in ameliorating LPS-induced lung inflammation and the mechanism of its effect is different from that of steroid.

Objective: To assess the benefit of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), we compared time-related quality of life (QOL) after lobectomy performed by VATS to that performed by thoracotomy. Methods: Thirty-three patients underwent surgery for lung cancer during the period April 2001 through November 2002 completed a mailed questionnaire after surgery. Results: Over time, improved QOL was reported in six dimensions by VATS patients but in only two dimensions by thoracotomy patients. There was significant improvement in bodily pain subscores in both groups during the 36 months after surgery. At 3 months after surgery, QOL scores for all eight dimensions were lower in the VATS group, but QOL scores for all eight dimensions did not differ significant between groups at 3 or 12 months after surgery. At 36 months after surgery, QOL scores for six dimensions were higher in the VATS group, and the difference was significant in scores for two dimensions. Conclusion: We found recovery was quicker in patients who underwent VATS than in those who underwent thoracotomy. © 2007 Australasian Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons and the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.

Treatment of concomitant severe coronary artery disease and lung cancer is a complicated issue. The present study describes a case of a 65-year-old man with coronary artery disease and primary lung cancer that was successfully treated with lung resection and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using Cypher stents. Prior to lung resection, the patient underwent a PCI for diffuse stenosis of the right coronary artery and the circumflex artery. Cypher stents were deployed for both lesions. Five days after stent implantation, a right lower lobectomy was performed successfully. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of lung resection and PCI using Cypher stents.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass and ultrafiltration on graft function in a canine single-lung transplantation model.
Methods: Fifteen left single-lung transplantations were done in weight-mismatched canine pairs. The animals were divided into 3 groups: group 1, in which transplantation was done without cardiopulmonary bypass; group 2, in which transplantation was done with cardiopulmonary bypass and in which the cardiopulmonary bypass flow was decreased slowly with controlled pulmonary artery pressure; and group 3, in which transplantation was done with cardiopulmonary bypass and ultrafiltration. Hemodynamic parameters and lung function were monitored for 6 hours after reperfusion. The grafts were harvested for histologic studies, myeloperoxidase assay, and real-time quantitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of mRNA encoding interleukin 6.
Results: The hemodynamic parameters were similar among the 3 groups. In group 1 Pa-O2 and alveolar to arterial gradient for O-2 levels were excellent throughout the 6-hour observation period, but in group 2 they progressively deteriorated. However, ultrafiltration significantly (P = .02) improved the PaO2 level in group 3. On histology, interstitial edema and polynuclear cell infiltration were most marked in group 2 and significantly worse than in groups 1 and 3. Myeloperoxidase assay and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed increased myeloperoxidase activity and interleukin 6 gene expression in group 2 grafts compared with group 1 grafts. Myeloperoxidase activity and interleukin 6 gene expression were suppressed with ultrafiltration.
Conclusions: Cardiopulmonary bypass had negative effects on the graft, but ultrafiltration attenuated acute lung dysfunction by reducing the inflammatory response.

Objective It is well known that the serum level of KL-6 can be an indicator of disease activity in patients with interstitial pneumonia (IP). However, surgical lung biopsy is often required for the diagnosis of IP, although this can result in IP exacerbation.
Methods The effect of surgical lung biopsy on the serum level of KL-6 in patients with IP was analyzed. Thirty-two cases of IP were examined in this study. There were no cases showing exacerbation of IP.
Results The serum level of KL-6 demonstrated 1067 +/- 550 U/ml (mean +/- SD) before lung biopsy, 991 +/- 471 U/ml a day, 824 +/- 377 U/ml 4 days and 826 +/- 384 U/ml 7 days after lung biopsy. The serum KL-6 levels on the 1st, 4th, 7th day after the lung biopsy were significantly lower than that before the lung biopsy (P &lt; 0.05, P &lt; 0.01 and P &lt; 0.01, respectively). The percent decrease of the serum KL-6 levels on the 4th day (the lowest level) was dependent on the urine volume, and the analysis of the urinary levels of KL-6 showed a transient increase in urinary KL-6 excretion, suggesting that the decrease in serum KL-6 levels associated with surgical lung biopsy may be caused by this increase in urinary KL-6 excretion.
Conclusion Surgical lung biopsy of patients with IP has little effect on the increase in serum KL-6 levels. An elevation of serum KL-6 after surgical lung biopsy may indicate exacerbation of IP.

Objective: To clarify the pathologic findings of ultrasmall pulmonary opacities (5 mm or smaller in diameter) found on multidetector-row high-resolution computed tomography (MD-HRCT).
Methods: Ten lobes in 10 patients were included in this study. Each lobe had a primary lung tumor and was removed surgically. Two thoracic radiologists noted any tiny nonlinear opacity on preoperative MD-HRCT films (1.25-mm thickness) covering the whole lobe. Pathologic findings of detected opacities were evaluated macroscopically and microscopically.
Results: Among 139 ultrasmall opacities 5 mm or smaller in diameter, 94 corresponded to normal anatomic structures (partial volume averaging or motion artifact), 36 corresponded to pathologic abnormalities, and 9 were unidentified. Histologic diagnoses of 36 pathologic abnormalities were inflammatory lesions (n = 16), intrapulmonary lymph nodes (IPLN; n = 7), atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH; n = 7), bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC; n = 5), and another neoplastic lesion (n = 1).
Conclusion: Tiny pulmonary lesions, such as AAHs, BACs, and IPLNs, were identified among ultrasmall opacities found on MD-HRCT.

Background: We investigated the effects of neutrophil elastase inhibitor ONO-5046 Na on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in a canine model of single lung transplantation. Methods: 24 mongrel dogs, 12 donors and 12 recipients, were used for single lung transplantation. Lung grafts were preserved for 18 h by cold ischemia then transplanted into the left thoracic cavity of recipients. In 6 recipients (ONO group), a bolus of ONO-5046 Na (10 mg/kg) was introduced before reperfusion and followed by continuous infusion (10 mg/kg/h). The remaining 6 recipients (control group) did not receive ONO-5046 Na and thus served as controls. We evaluated lung function and respiratory parameters over 240 min. Results: The total cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid increased significantly in the control group in comparison to that in the ONO group. Histologic scores after 4 h of reperfusion and myeloperoxidase activity were significantly lower in the ONO group than in the control group. Conclusion: Neutrophil elastase inhibitor ONO-5046 Na may be useful in ameliorating lung reperfusion injury after transplantation. Copyright (C) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel.

Objectives: Our registration of surgically treated lung cancer patients in Niigata Prefecture began in 2001. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of patients and surgical treatment of lung cancer. Methods: All patients who underwent resection for lung cancer in Niigata Prefecture from January 2001 to December 2002 were eligible for registration. A total of 31 medical data for each patient were registered. Results: During the 2-year period, 1,211 patients were registered. A total of 605 cases (50%) were detected by mass screening, and 874 cases (72%) were diagnosed preoperatively. There were 718 (59%) c-stage IA cases and 317 (26%) c-stage IB cases. The most common operative procedure was lobectomy
850 patients underwent single lobectomy. Limited resection was performed in 301 patients (25%), and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in 193 (16%). The most common histological type was adenocarcinoma in 860 cases (71%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma in 273 (23%). Pathologic staging yielded stage IA in 635 cases (52%) and stage IB in 262 (22%). Conclusions: The results of our registration demonstrate a very high ratio of surgically treated stage IA cases in Niigata Prefecture and that limited resection was performed in many patients. Accumulation of these data will reveal the characteristics of lung cancer surgically treated in Niigata Prefecture and will provide a basis for determining the future course of surgical treatment for lung cancer. Registration is continuing, and it will provide new and useful information about lung cancer, eventually including 5-year survival data.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether lobectomy without radical systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy (LA) is a satisfactory alternative surgical treatment for octogenarians with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: From April 1985 through December 2001, 49 patients aged 80 years and older who underwent surgical treatment for clinical stage I NSCLC were reviewed. Lobectomy without radical systematic mediastinal LA was performed for 27 patients (LA0 group) and lobectomy with radical systematic mediastinal LA was performed for 22 patients (LA group). Results: The mortality rate was 0% in the LA0 group and 4.5% in the LA group. Five-year survival rate according to the type of surgery was 44.8% in the LA0 group and 55.5% in the LA group, a difference that was not significant (P = 0.88). Although there was no significant statistical difference, postoperative pulmonary complication was more frequent in the LA group than in the LA0 group (32% in the LA group versus 11% in the LA0 group P = 0.07). Five-year survival rates according to serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were 0% for patients with elevated CEA levels (n = 9) and 56.5% for patients with normal CEA levels (n = 40) (P &lt; 0.01). Conclusion: Lobectomy without radical systematic mediastinal LA appears to be a satisfactory surgical procedure for octogenarians with clinical stage I NSCLC. However, mediastinoscopy is necessary in such octogenarians if their serum CEA level is elevated so that the precise clinical stage can be determined and an accurate prognosis can be given.

The case of a 70-year-old man with a hitherto undescribed pleural mesothelioma is reported. The tumor was localized in the left lung apex and had invaded the parietal pleura. Histologically, the tumor was characterized by a proliferation of epithelioid cells and the formation of microcysts. The tumor cells were positive for calretinin and vimentin, and possessed abundant microvilli, indicating a mesothelial cell origin for the tumor. A high Ki-67 index and mitotic index, and the recurrence of the tumor after surgery, indicated malignancy. Based on the evidence, we propose that the tumor is a microcystic variant of a localized malignant mesothelioma.

We report our experience of segmental bronchial atresia managed with segmental resection under video-assisted thoracic surgery. A 23-year-old woman reporting a cough, dyspnea, and back pain underwent segmental resection in which a stapling device was used under video-assisted thoracic surgery. Her postoperative course was uneventful with minimal pain and a disappearance of preoperative symptoms after surgery. Once an accurate preoperative diagnosis can be established, video-assisted thoracic segmentectomy together with the use of a stapling device is considered to be feasible.

Background. We reported that bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma (BAC) without active fibroblastic proliferation of the lung had no lymph node and pulmonary metastasis and had a favorable prognosis. However, there has been no prospective trial regarding limited pulmonary resection for this type of BAG. The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of limited resection for histologically confirmed BAC without active fibroblastic proliferation.
Methods. From 1996 through 1999, 42 patients who had small peripheral lung tumors (less than or equal to 20 mm), suspected of being BAG, were enrolled in this trial. The patient population consisted of 24 men and 18 women with a mean age of 58.4 years. Limited resection was completed when BAG, without both active fibroblastic proliferation and lymph node metastasis, was con-firmed histalogically by intraoperative pathologic examination.
Results. Limited resection was completed in 36 patients, wedge resection in 34, and segmentectomy in 2 patients. In 6 patients, the procedure was converted into lobectomy because of pathologic invasive sign in 3, active fibroblastic proliferation in 1, and for other reasons in 2 patients. All patients have been followed for a median follow-up period of 30 months and are alive without sign of recurrence.
Conclusions. Our early results indicate that limited resection may be an acceptable alternative to lobectomy for histologically confirmed BAC without active fibroblastic proliferation (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the risks associated with pulmonary resection for primary non-small cell lung cancer in octogenarians to help better management in these patients. Methods: We reviewed the outcome in our 35 patients aged 80 years and older who underwent pulmonary resection between 1981 and 1998. Results: The 5-year survival rate was 39.8%. The operative mortality rate was 0% and the morbidity 60%. There were ten major pulmonary complications, including respiratory insufficiency following bacterial pneumonia and sputum retention. Preoperative arterial pO(2) was significantly lower, A-aDO(2) was significantly higher, and operation time were significantly longer in patients with pulmonary complications after surgical treatment than in patients without complications (P &lt; 0.05), Conclusions: Surgical treatment was not contraindicated for octogenarians with lung cancer. However, a relatively preoperative low arterial pO(2), high A-aDO(2), and long operation time may be risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications in such patients. Surgeons must assess the preoperative data prudently to determine appropriate surgical strategy. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

During surgery for lung cancer in a patient who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting through the descending aorta by left thoracotomy, we measured graft bypass blood now from the descending aorta under intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) assistance. Under IABP assistance, the diastolic waveform changed to a spiky pattern with a sharp drop in blood flow of approximately 16% compared to that without LABP assistance. We report changes in graft flow pattern during IABP assistance when the graft is placed from the descending aorta. (Ann Thorac Surg 2000;70:980-2) (C) 2000 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate cryopreservation period of tracheal allografts based on morphological and immunological findings and to test the possibility of tracheal transplantation in rats using cryopreserved allografts without immunosuppression. Methods: Morphological and immunological studies were performed to compare the differences between non-cryopreserved grafts and cryopreserved grafts. Orthotopic tracheal transplantation using cryopreserved allografts, non-cryopreserved allografts, and non-cryopreserved autografts was performed and the rejection score of each group was evaluated. Results: Epithelial cells were lost when the grafts were cryopreserved for more than 20 days. Immunohistochemical staining of the trachea revealed that the MHC classII antigen was expressed on normal epithelium. These findings suggest that cryopreservation for more than 20 days decreased the antigeneicity of allografts because of epithelial desquamation. All rats that received allografts cryopreserved for more than 20 days survived until the scheduled sacrifice day. Microscopically, cryopreserved allografts that had been preserved for more than 20 days had a significantly lower rejection score than that of non-cryopreserved allografts (P &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: We conclude that the appropriate period for cryopreservation of allografts would be 20 days or more, because cryopreservation for more than 20 days depleted epithelium, which possessed the MHC classII antigen. Therefore, a longer period of cryopreservation decreases the antigeneicity of allografts. Rat tracheal transplantations using cryopreserved allografts is possible without immunosuppression when the grafts have been cryopreserved for more than 20 days. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) starts in the subarachnoid space (SAS) and spreads later to the adjacent CNS parenchyma. To characterize the nature of lesion-forming T cells in situ in more detail, T cells were isolated from the SAS and their surface phenotype and the nucleotide sequence of the junctional region of the T cell receptor (TCR) was determined and compared with those of the lymph node (LN) and spinal cord (SC) T cells. Characteristically, more than 70% of SAS TCR alpha beta(+) T cells isolated at the early stage of EAE lacked both CD4 and CD8 molecules, whereas those from LN and SC were either CD4(+) or CD8(+). Analysis of nucleotide sequences of the junctional region of TCR revealed that T cells bearing a sequence identical to that for encephalitogenic T cell clones were found in both SAS and SC. Furthermore, purified CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells expressed CD4 molecules after culture. At the same time, these T cells acquired reactivity to myelin basic protein and induced passive EAE in naive animals after adoptive transfer. Our results suggest that CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells in the SAS are precursors of lesion-forming T cells in the SC and that phenotype switching takes place during the process of T cell infiltration into the CNS parenchyma. The double-negative nature of these T cells may explain an escape of encephalitogenic T cells from negative selection in T cell differentiation.

CD5+ B and coexisting T cells in the thymus of control individuals and patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) were analyzed with monoclonal antibodies in conjunction with a two-color immunofluorescence test. Similar to findings in a mouse study, we found that, in 9 control subjects, CD5+ B cells (mean: 1.5%) were the predominant subset (approximately 80%) among thymic B cells (1.8% of thymocytes). In patients with MG (n=6), both the proportion of CD5+ B (3.2%) and total B cells (7.8%) in the thymus were significantly elevated (P=0.005). In this regard, the ratio of CD5+ B / total B cells in MG (45%) was somewhat lower than in control subjects. This raises the possibility that some CD5- B cells are a CD5-sister population of CD5+ B cells in MG, as has been shown in mouse studies. Coexisting thymic T cells in MG were somewhat different (e.g., in exhibiting a reduction in the double-positive CD4+ CD8+ population) from those in controls. The reason for this finding is discussed with reference to recent findings of medullary T cells in the thymus. The present results might be intimately related to the pathogenesis of MG.

【緒言】近年,次世代シーケンス技術の開発が進み、高速シーケンサーを用いて, 微量DNAから短時間で多検体のシーケンスが可能となり，がんゲノムの網羅的解析から，がん個別化医療のバイオマーカーとして，ドライバー遺伝子変異の探索が盛んに行われるようになった．次世代シーケンサーを用いて多数の遺伝子異常を同時に検査するクリニカルシーケンスが期待されてきているが，その際に問題となるのは臨床検体の取り扱いである．従って, 本研究の目的は，次世代シーケンサーを用いた網羅的遺伝子解析を想定した際の, 肺腺癌組織より抽出したDNA量や質を組織亜型，分化度の違いから検討し、また、実際に必要とされる臨床検体(FFPEスライド)量を考察することとした．【方法】肺癌手術を施行され,凍結切片を有する肺腺癌68症例のホルマリン固定後パラフィン包哩(FFPE)検体をHE染色にて評価し,腫瘍胞巣に含まれる全細胞含有面積に占めるがん細胞含有率20%以上の63例を解析対象とした. 組織亜型の内訳は，置換性増殖優位型腺癌(lepidic)が5例，乳頭状増殖優位型腺癌(papillary)が44例，腺房状増殖優位型肺癌(acinar)が5例，充実性増殖優位型腺癌(solid)が2例，粘液腺癌(mucinous)が7例であった．各FFPEブロックから連続切片20μm, 2枚よりDNAを抽出した．単位面積当たりのDNA抽出濃度や断片化(Q-ratio : [129bp]/[41bp])について組織亜型間で比較し，また，解析に必要とされる臨床検体量 (腫瘍面積）を考察した．【結果】単位面積当たりのDNA抽出濃度は中央値4.20ng/μL(範囲:0.32ng/μL/mm^2 - 19.25ng/μL/mm^2)であった.Q-ratioについては中央値1.03 (範囲 : 0.79-1.57) とすべて基準値以上であった．組織亜型間においては抽出されたDNAの単位面積当たりの濃度では置換性増殖優位型腺癌は粘液腺癌と比較し, 単位面積当たりのDNA抽出濃度が有意に多かった(p=0.046).粘液非産生型腺癌は有意に粘液産生型腺癌より単位面積当たりのDNA抽出量は多かった(p<0.01).また，分化度間の単位面積当たりのDNA抽出量では中･低分化腺癌は有意に高分化腺癌より単位面積当たりのDNA抽出量は多かった(p=0.012).腫瘍面積とDNA抽出量につきPearsonの相関係散を算出すると, r=0.486, p<0.01と有意に正の相関を認めた．必要最低腫瘍面積の算出では30mm^2当たりのDNA抽出量は､平均29.0±23.4ngl/μL(範囲 : 3.86ng/μL-116.5ng/μL)であり，全症例において基準となる3.75ng/μLをクリアーした．【結語】肺腺癌では,粘液産生の有無,分化度がDNA抽出量に影響を与えることが分かった.腫瘍胞巣面積,瘢痕巣の割合から全細胞面積を算出しそこに含まれるがん細胞含有率（>20%)を確認し,必要最低全細胞面積をクリアー出来る切片枚数を確保することが肝要であると思われる．

Six years after primary surgical treatment for gastric cancer, fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography was performed in a 72-year-old man, and demonstrated an increased fluoro-deoxyglucose uptake in the apex of the left ventricle. Magnetic resonance imaging also revealed a solitary small myocardial tumor. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, tumorectomy was performed with a macroscopically sufficient margin. Histopathologic examination showed adenocarcinoma with poor differentiation developed in the myocardium and pericardial fat; these findings were compatible with the previously resected gastric cancer. The postoperative course was uneventful; the patient has been alive for 29 months without any evidence of local recurrence or cardiac events. (C) 2016 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

甲状腺癌のうち乳頭癌(papillary carcinoma)の頻度は90%と大部分を占め, 頸部リンパ節転移の頻度が高く, 高齢者では未分化癌に転化することもある. 今回, 結腸癌術後の全身検索で発見され, 胸骨縦切開を追加して切除可能であった無症候性進行甲状腺癌の1例を経験したので文献的考察を加えて報告する. 症例は76歳, 女性. 上行結腸癌手術後7年目にCA19-9値の上昇傾向を指摘され, CT検査では上縦隔へ進展した7cm大の甲状腺腫瘤と1.5cm大の右頸部リンパ節腫大を認めた. 穿刺吸引細胞診では class III であったが甲状腺癌が強く疑われたため, 手術目的に当科入院となった. 術前の頸部CTおよびMRI検査では, 甲状腺腫瘍は上縦隔まで進展していたが, 明らかな血管への浸潤所見は認めず, 気管支鏡検査では明らかな気管浸潤は認めなかった. 手術を施行し, 右頸部リンパ節を摘出し術中迅速病理診断に提出したところ乳頭癌の診断が得られたため, 甲状腺全摘術および頸部リンパ節郭清の方針となった. 術中所見では, 上縦隔内の無名静脈および右頸動脈への浸潤が疑われ, 切除可能か否かの判定が困難であった. 視野を確保し, 血管等への浸潤の有無を判定するために胸骨縦切開を追加した. その結果, 良好な視野が得られ, 無名静脈, 右左総頸動脈への直接浸潤を認めず, 腫瘍の切離が可能となり, 甲状腺全摘術および頸部リンパ節郭清を施行した. 甲状腺癌, 特に乳頭癌は10年生存率が80～90%と良好であり, また, 放置した場合に気管浸潤, 血管浸潤を伴うと, 生命予後のみならず, 患者QOLも著しく損なわれるので, 可能であるならば積極的に切除を行うことが望ましい.

人工心肺下心臓手術術後の急性腎障害(AKI)は, 短期, 長期の予後予測因子として注目されている. 早期治療介入のためにはAKIの早期予測が必要だが, AKI診断に用いられる「血清クレアチニン(Cre)の上昇」は腎機能障害の結果であり, 潜在的な腎機能障害を予測することはできない. 今回, 2～15歳の人工心肺下心臓手術71例を対象とし, 周術期の尿中バイオマーカーを定量し, AKIの早期予測因子としての可能性を検討した. 血清Cre, 尿中アルブミン(Alb), α1-microgrobulin(α1MG), β2-microglobulin(β2MG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL), N-acetyl β-D glucosaminidase(NAG)を定量し, 尿中バイオマーカーは尿中Cre補正値を用いて検討した. AKIN診断基準に基づきAKI評価を行い, AKI群(A群)と非AKI群(N群)を比較検討した. AKI発症率は30%, A群は有意に低年齢で, 手術時間, 体外循環時間が長時間であった. AKI発症はファロー四徴症手術で50%, Fontan手術で66.6%と特に高率であった. A群で術後CVPが有意に高く, 前述の疾患群で術後の循環動態維持に高いCVPを要することを反映していると考える. 高いCVPは腎鬱血や糸球体障害, 糸球体潅流圧低下をきたしAlb漏出や腎機能障害の誘因になると推察された. 尿中Alb/Creは人工心肺離脱後1時間以降, 全ての測定ポイントにおいてA群で有意に高値であり, ROC-AUC値は人工心肺離脱後3時間0.832, 6時間0.846, 12時間0.845であった. 尿中α1MG/Creは人工心肺離脱後6時間以降においてA群で有意に高値であり, ROC-AUC値は人工心肺離脱後6時間0.710, 12時間0.759であった. 尿中NAG/Creは人工心肺離脱後1, 2, 3, 18, 24時間においてA群で有意に高値であり, ROC-AUC値は人工心肺離脱後1時間0.714, 2時間0.712であった. 尿中NGAL/CreはA群で高値を示す傾向が認められたが, 尿中β2MG/Creは有意差を認めなかった. 幼小児期の心臓手術において尿中Alb/Cre, α1MG/Cre, NAG/Creの術後AKI早期診断マーカーとしての有用性が示唆された.

人工心肺下心臓手術術後の急性腎障害(AKI)は, 短期, 長期の予後予測因子として注目されている. 早期治療介入, 予後改善のためには周術期のAKI発症を早期に予測することが必要である. しかし, AKI診断に用いられる「血清クレアチニン(Cre)の上昇」は腎機能障害の結果であり, 上昇時にはすでに一定の障害が進行しているため, 潜在的な腎機能障害を予測することはできない. 早期予測因子として各種尿中バイオマーカーが検討されているが, 新生児は発達途上の腎の未熟性, 脆弱性があり, 血清Creや各種バイオマーカーの動態も成人とは異なると考えられ, 成人と同等に論じることはできない. さらに, 新生児早期では出生直後の血清Creは自身の腎機能を反映せず, 母体血清Creを反映するため血清Creを用いたAKI診断自体が難しいことがある. 今回, 新生児期人工心肺下心臓手術周術期の各種尿中バイオマーカーを定量し, AKIの早期予測因子としての可能性を検討した. 2010年5月から2013年7月に当科で施行した新生児症例28例を対象とし, 周術期の血清Cre, 尿中アルブミン(Alb), α1-microgrobulin(α1MG), β2-microglobulin(β2MG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL), N-acetyl β-D glucosaminidase(NAG)を定量した. 尿中バイオマーカーは尿中Cre補正値を用いて検討した. AKINの診断基準に基づきAKIを評価し, AKI群(A群)と非AKI群(N群)の二群に分けて比較検討した. 対象28例中, AKI発症は13例(46.4%)であった. 手術死亡3例はいずれもAKI stage3症例であり, 背景因子では, A群において手術時間が有意に長かった. 術直後, 1病日血清Creに有意差は認められなかったが, 2病日血清CreではA群において有意に高値(p=0.014)であった. 尿中Alb/Cre, 尿中β2MG/Cre, 尿中NGAL/Cre値に両群間で統計学的有意差は認められなかった. 尿中α1M/Cre, 尿中NAG/Creは, 人工心肺離脱後3時間という早期からA群で有意に高値であった. ROC-AUC値(感度, 特異度)は, 尿中NAG/Creで人工心肺離脱後3時間:0.794(75%, 80%), 6時間:0.744(76.9%, 73.3%), 12時間:0.794(83.3%, 66.7%), 尿中α1MG/Creで人工心肺離脱後3時間:0.774(66.7%, 80%), 6時間0.731(69.2%, 73.3%), 12時間:0.761(75%, 63.3%)と比較的良好であった. 尿中NAG/Cre, 尿中α1MG/Creの二因子を組み合わせることにより診断精度を上げることができ, 新生児期人工心肺下心臓手術の術後AKIの早期診断マーカーとしての有用性が示唆された.
