RESUMEN

Cancer (including pancreatic cancer) can develop following a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection within one year of tuberculosis infection. However, it is unclear whether tuberculosis infection increases the risk of developing adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas (ASCP), an extremely rare cancer with a poorer prognosis than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Herein, we report a case of rapid growing ASCP discovered upon a resection for neck tuberculous lymphadenitis. The patient was a 57-year-old woman. An excisional biopsy of the swollen right neck lymph nodes revealed tuberculous lymphadenitis. One month after the biopsy, an abdominal computed tomography scan showed a 2.0 cm (diameter) ischemic tumor in the pancreatic tail. The tissue obtained using endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration led to the pathological diagnosis of ASCP. Two months after the biopsy, the tumor had grown to 3.5 cm (diameter), and invasion of the stomach and colon was suspected. Distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, partial gastrectomy, and transverse colectomy were performed. The final diagnosis was ASCP (4.7 cm, pT3, pN0, cM0, and pStage IIA). Postoperative adjuvant combination chemotherapy combined with antituberculosis drugs was administered orally. We report the first case of rapidly growing adenosquamous carcinoma resected from the pancreas in association with tuberculous lymphadenitis. Additional evidence is needed to confirm that tuberculosis infection increases the risk of developing pancreatic adenosquamous cell carcinoma because its potential role in promoting squamous metaplasia is unclear.

RESUMEN

We reported a case of sigmoid colon cancer with horseshoe kidney. A 79-year-old man had lower abdominal pain and underwent colonoscopy. The results of colonoscopy revealed sigmoid cancer. Preoperative computed tomography revealed horseshoe kidney. He underwent radical laparoscopic surgery. The histopathological diagnosis was pStage Ⅱa(The 9th Edition). He has not recurred 22 months later after operation. Surgery for colorectal cancer with congenital anomalies of the urinary tract requires attention to intraoperative secondary injuries. Therefore, preoperative evaluation using 3D-CT is useful tool for safety. Operating the proper dissecting normal layer would make safe laparoscopic operation possible without unexpected injuries.

RESUMEN

We reported a case of Type 4 rectal cancer performed laparoscopic surgery. A 73-year-old man had diarrhea and constipation and underwent colonoscopy. From the first colonoscopy, histological findings of biopsy showed non-neoplastic cells. The results of colonoscopy strongly suggested the possibility of Type 4 rectal cancer. Therefore, we performed colonoscopy twice and he was diagnosed Type 4 rectal cancer. Computed tomography revealed no distant metastasis. He underwent radical laparoscopic surgery. The histopathological diagnosis was pStage Ⅲc(The 9th edition). He then received adjuvant chemotherapy but was relapsed at bones and lymph nodes. He died 18 months later after surgery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: In the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification, appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) is categorized separately from neuroendocrine tumors and other appendiceal adenocarcinomas. We clarified the clinicopathological characteristics of Japanese appendiceal GCA. METHODS: We designed a retrospective multicenter cohort study and retrieved the data of patients with appendiceal neoplasms and histologically diagnosed appendiceal goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) treated from January 2000 to December 2017 in Japan. The available GCC slides were reviewed and diagnosed with a new grading system of GCA. RESULTS: A total of 922 patients from 43 institutions were enrolled; of these, 32 cases were patients with GCC (3.5%), and 20 cases were ultimately analyzed. The 5-year survival rate was 61.4% (95% confidence interval: 27.4-83.2), and the median survival time was 93.1 months. For peritoneal metastasis, regional lymph node metastasis was a significant factor (p = 0.04), and Grade 3 was a potential factor (p = 0.07). No peritoneal metastasis was observed in either T1/2 patients (n = 2) or Grade 1 patients (n = 4). We were unable to detect any significant factors associated with regional lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION: For peritoneal metastasis, regional lymph node metastasis was a significant factor, and Grade 3 was a potential factor.

RESUMEN

An 88-year-old woman had been diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma for 3 years since she received metallic stents for malignant biliary obstruction, and observed without any aggressive medical treatment. She was admitted to our hospital for further investigation of her abdominal pain. Abdominal CT showed an enlarged gallbladder, fluid collection in the right paracolic gutter, and swollen appendix. Laboratory tests showed high-grade inflammation. She was diagnosed with acute perforated appendicitis with acute cholecystitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy were performed. Perforation was confirmed intraoperatively in the appendix wall and accumulation of pus was found in the right paracolic gutter. There were no macroscopic findings of metastasis and peritoneal dissemination. Microscopic examination of the resected appendix showed adenocarcinoma cells positive for CK7 and negative for CK20 and CDX2, and were predominantly infiltrated from the muscular layer to the serosa of the appendix wall, with a diagnosis of appendiceal metastasis from hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Metastatic appendiceal carcinoma is rare, and appendiceal metastasis from hilar cholangiocarcinoma is extremely rare. Herein, we report a rare case of metastatic appendiceal carcinoma from hilar bile duct cancer with acute perforated appendicitis and cholecystitis along with findings of previous literature.

RESUMEN

We reported a case of rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST)performed transanal surgery. A 46-year-old woman was pointed out uterinal cancer and lower rectal GIST. After operation for uterine cancer, GIST was treated. Because of the patent's opinion for anal preservation, chemotherapy with imatinib for 3 months was performed and local resection was done by transanal minimally invasive surgery(TAMIS). The histopathological diagnosis was low-grade GIST and immunostaining showed the tumor was positive for c-kit, CD34, DOG-1 and α-SMA. Because capsule of the GIST was damaged intraoperatively, imatinib therapy was started and she has no recurrence after 2 years.

RESUMEN

We report a case receiving laparoscopic surgical resection of rectal cancer with protein-losing gastroenteropathy. A 58- year-old man was referred to our hospital because of melena, diarrhea, and anorexia. He showed septic shock, anemia, and hypoproteinemia. CT scan showed a rectal tumor with regional lymph node swelling and a cavernous lung lesion with a pulmonary embolus. Ninety-five days after admission to intensive care, he was introduced to our department because of the disappearance of a lung lesion indicating a lung abscess. Colonoscopy showed a cauliflower-like type 1 rectal cancer lesion. He experienced laparoscopic low anterior resection 121 days after admission. He was discharged without problems 66 days after the operation. After 8 months of surgery and no chemotherapy, he had no recurrence of rectal cancer. Colon cancer with protein-losing gastroenteropathy is rare and shows a typical cauliflower-like type 1 tumor appearance. Hypoproteinemia can be improved after resection of colon cancer.

RESUMEN

Organic semiconductors are promising candidates as platforms for room temperature polaritonic devices. An issue for practical implementation of organic polariton devices is the lowering of condensation threshold. Here we investigate anisotropic light-matter coupling characteristics in an organic crystal microcavity showing strong molecular orientation. Furthermore, the below-threshold excitation dynamics are investigated to clarify the spontaneous transition pathways from reservoir to polariton states. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements reveal that photonic/excitonic hybrid transition processes coexist in the microcavity system. This finding provides valuable insights into a detailed understanding of polariton dynamics and help in the design of polaritonic devices showing a low-threshold condensed phase.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1) and thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) are the two major pathogenic antigens for membranous nephropathy (MN). It has been reported that THSD7A-associated MN has a higher prevalence of comorbid malignancy than PLA2R1-associated MN. Here we present a case of MN whose etiology might change from idiopathic to malignancy-associated MN during the patient's clinical course. CASE PRESENTATION: A 68-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome was diagnosed with MN by renal biopsy. Immunohistochemistry showed that the kidney specimen was negative for THSD7A. The first course of corticosteroid therapy achieved partial remission; however, nephrotic syndrome recurred 1 year later. Two years later, his abdominal echography revealed a urinary bladder tumor, but he did not wish to undergo additional diagnostic examinations. Because his proteinuria increased consecutively, corticosteroid therapy was resumed, but it failed to achieve remission. Another kidney biopsy was performed and revealed MN with positive staining for THSD7A. PLA2R1 staining levels were negative for both first and second biopsies. Because his bladder tumor had gradually enlarged, he agreed to undergo bladder tumor resection. Pathological examination indicated that the tumor was THDS7A-positive bladder cancer. Subsequently, his proteinuria decreased and remained in remission. CONCLUSIONS: This case suggests that the etiology of MN might be altered during the therapeutic course. Intensive screening for malignancy may be preferable in patients with unexpected recurrence of proteinuria and/or change in therapy response.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Blood purification therapy is a treatment method, wherein many patients gather in the same space to receive regular treatments, possibly increasing the risk of contracting the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through contact, droplet, and aerosol. We experienced a nosocomial outbreak and evaluated the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infection in patients undergoing blood purification therapy. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 28 patients who underwent blood purification therapy at the dialysis center of our hospital from April 2, 2020, to April 29, 2020. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify clinical factors related to COVID-19 for 18 patients who were tested using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: Of the 28 patients, seven were COVID-19 positive, as confirmed by RT-PCR. The median age was 77 years, 22 patients were male (79%), four patients had acute kidney injury (14%), and six patients were bedridden (21%). All infected patients had been admitted to the wards where the nosocomial outbreak had occurred. Logistic regression analysis revealed that being bedridden (odds ratio 13.33, 95% confidence interval 1.05-169.56, p < 0.05) was significantly related to COVID-19 infection. However, the Charlson comorbidity index, receiving dialysis in the same room, and adjacency of the dialysis bed to COVID-19-positive patients before the confirmation of infection did not reveal any significant relationship. CONCLUSION: Bedridden patients admitted to nosocomial infection wards were associated with COVID-19 infection, and transmission within the dialysis center was not observed. More rigorous infection control measures need to be implemented for bedridden patients undergoing blood purification therapy.

RESUMEN

Herein, we report a case of laparoscopic surgery for sigmoid lymph node metastases after surgery for rectal cancer. A 58- year-old man underwent laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. He underwent D2 lymph node dissection, and he was undergoing dialysis for renal disease as a complication of diabetes. CT imaging performed 15 months after surgery revealed recurrence of tumors in the sigmoid lymph nodes. Subsequently, laparoscopic removal of the sigmoid lymph nodes was planned, as the patient had no tumor recurrence at any other location, and because his condition was not suitable for chemotherapy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged a few days after surgery.

RESUMEN

We reported a case of superior mesenteric artery(SMA)syndrome after decreased body weight and unstable oral intakes due to anastomotic leakage of postoperative transverse colon cancer. A 63-year-old man underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy and D3 lymph node dissection with a diagnosis of transverse colon cancer. He had postoperative anastomotic leakage and was discharged after conservative treatment on postoperative day 35. However, he had visited our hospital by the symptom of bowel obstruction caused by anastomotic stenosis and had been admitted twice. After second colonoscopic balloon dilation on postoperative day 129, he was diagnosed as anastomotic perforation and emergency reoperation was performed. In the postoperative course, he repeated vomiting and his body weight decreased and superior mesenteric artery syndrome was diagnosed. He improved after conservative treatment by fasting, a nasogastric intubation and total parenteral nutrition and was discharged 22 days after the diagnosis.

RESUMEN

As new candidates of thiophene/phenylene co-oligomer (TPCO) species, 5,5''-bis(4'-methoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene (BP3T-OMe) and 4',4'''-([2,2':5',2''-terthiophene]-5,5''-diyl)bis(([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile)) (BP3T-CN) were synthesized for lasing applications. Although most unsubstituted TPCO species crystallize in monoclinic form, BP3T-OMe and BP3T-CN crystallized in orthorhombic and triclinic forms, respectively. Since the unsubstituted species, 5,5''-bis(4-biphenylyl)-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene (BP3T), shows unique and superior lasing performance in single crystals, the newly synthesized BP3T-OMe and BP3T-CN have possibilities to show different or improved optoelectronic characteristics. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and optically pumped lasing were observed from both of the single crystals based on their well-shaped crystalline cavity and high group refractive index values of 3.7-5.3 for excellent light confinement. The lasing threshold for the BP3T-OMe crystal was lower than that for the BP3T-CN crystal, which was attributed to their different molecular orientation, standing in the former and inclining in the latter.

RESUMEN

We report a case of laparoscopic surgical resection of a small intestinal cancer. A woman in her 40s was referred to our department for prolonged abdominal problems(epigastralgia, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation). CT scan revealed a small intestinal tumor with dilatation of the oral side of the intestine. She was admitted to our hospital, and an ileus tube was introduced. One week after admission, she experienced laparoscopic partial resection of the small intestine. She was soon discharged without any problems and has had no recurrence of small intestinal cancer after 8 months of surgery without any adjuvant chemotherapy. Small intestinal cancer is frequently detected in an advanced stage, resulting in poor prognosis, but curative surgery can improve the prognosis. Optimal therapy for small intestinal cancer has not been established yet because it is rare. A multi-centered study of small intestinal cancer for the establishment of its diagnosis and therapy needs to be conducted.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the benefit of placing a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery for obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC) according to the tumor site. METHODS: The subjects of this retrospective multicenter cohort study were 201 patients with OCRC, but without initial bowel perforation, who were treated either with a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery (n = 109) or with primary surgery (PS; n = 92) between 2014 and 2016. The cohort consisted of 68 patients with right-sided and 133 left-sided OCRC. We evaluated the short-term surgical outcomes for each side. RESULTS: The SEMS group of patients with left-sided OCRC had significantly higher rates of primary resection, primary resection with anastomosis, stoma-free surgery, and laparoscopic surgery than the PS group of patients with left-sided OCRC. In contrast, the SEMS group of patients with right-sided OCRC had only a significantly higher rate of laparoscopic surgery than the PS group of patients with right-sided OCRC, but they had a longer overall hospital stay. There were no significant differences between the two treatment groups in the rates of morbidity or mortality, for either right-sided or left-sided OCRC. CONCLUSION: The benefit of a SEMS as a bridge to surgery may be less for right-sided than for left-sided obstructions in colon cancer patients.

RESUMEN

Autoantibodies against thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) cause membranous nephropathy (MN); however, the mechanisms involved in THSD7A expression and immunization are uncertain. We present 2 cases of THSD7A-associated MN accompanied by angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), a benign tumor characterized by proliferation of plump endothelial cells. Prednisolone therapy, but not surgical resection of ALHE tumors, successfully suppressed eosinophilia and proteinuria in both cases. Because ALHE is characterized by the proliferation of plump endothelial cells, we focused on the roles of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in MN pathogenesis. We found that plump endothelial cells in ALHE modestly expressed THSD7A in both cases. We also found that eosinophils in ALHE expressed VEGF-A, which upregulated THSD7A expression, especially under T-helper type 2-prone conditions in cultured endothelial cells. Furthermore, double-positive cells for THSD7A and CD83 surrounded the proliferated small vessels. Our results suggest that VEGF-A-induced THSD7A expression outside the kidney may be important for MN pathogenesis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Although laparoscopy may provide more detailed morphological and histological information about peritoneal damage, its significance in patients with long vintage of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is not elucidated. METHODS: Findings in 12 patients with PD vintage of 7.3 (5.0-8.4) years who had undergone laparoscopy between 2007 and 2011 were reviewed. Macroscopic (peritoneal change, hypervascular change, adhesion, encapsulation) and histopathological peritoneal findings (interstitial fibrosis, microvascular change, fibrin deposition, inflammatory cell infiltration) were scored and summed as Macro-total score (Macro-TS) and Micro-total score (Micro-TS), respectively. Factors associated with these scores and the relationship between these scores were investigated. RESULTS: Neither Macro-TS nor Micro-TS were related to PD vintage (p = 0.069 and p = 0.769, respectively); moreover, Macro-TS varied from patient to patient regardless of similar PD vintage. However, Macro-TS showed a significant association with duration of acidic dialysate (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: Macroscopic and microscopic findings via laparoscopy may help the assessment of peritoneal damage in patients with long PD vintage.

RESUMEN

Gastric cancer with portal tumor embolus is rare and there is no definite strategy for its surgical resection. We report 2 cases ofgastric cancer with portal vein tumor embolus treated using gastrectomy and thrombectomy. Case 1: The patient was a 56- year-old man. We performed total gastrectomy, distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and thrombectomy. The patient was treated with 4 courses ofS -1 plus CDDP chemotherapy followed by S-1 administration. Eight months after surgery, CT revealed metastasis in the left adrenal gland and he died 2 years after surgery. Case 2: The patient was a 57-year-old man. We performed total gastrectomy, distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, partial resection of the transverse colon, and thrombectomy. The patient was treated using adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy followed by UFT administration for 3 years. The patient has been alive with no tumor recurrence for the past 10 years. If there is no other therapeutic option for portal vein embolus, gastrectomy with thrombectomy could increase the possibility oflong -term survival.

RESUMEN

The patient was a 66-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with cT3N3M0, cStage III esophageal cancer with widespread lymph node metastases in the mediastinum and abdomen. She was treated with 2 courses of chemotherapy with docetaxel/ cisplatin/5-FU(DCF therapy). CT and FDG PET-CT showed a significant reduction in both the primary tumor and the metastatic lymph nodes following treatment. We performed subtotal esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction with lymphadenectomy. The histopathological findings showed no residual viable tumor cells or foreign body-type giant cells with necrosis. The pathological effect of chemotherapy was defined as Grade 3(pCR). Our case suggested that DCF chemotherapy is potentially a very effective treatment for advanced esophageal cancer with widespread lymph node metastases.

We report 2 cases of systemic steroid therapy for hyperbilirubinemia after right hepatic lobectomy for liver metastases from colorectal cancer.One of the patients was a 65-year-old man, diagnosed with transverse colon cancer with multiple liver metastases.After surgery for the primary lesion and chemotherapy(FOLFOX plus bevacizumab, FOLFIRI plus panitumumab), he underwent right hepatic lobectomy for the liver metastasis.His preoperative ICG 15 min was 8%.Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia without biliary stenosis occurred after the hepatectomy.Two courses of pulse steroid therapy were effective for only a limited period.After initiation of oral prednisolone therapy, his hyperbilirubinemia decreased.The other patient was a 66- year-old man with rectal cancer who underwent a low anterior resection.Postoperatively, a liver metastasis appeared.After CapeOX therapy, he underwent right hepatic lobectomy.His preoperative ICG 15 min was 5%.Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia occurred after hepatectomy.Pulse steroid therapy was effective for only a limited period.After initiation of prednisolone therapy, his hyperbilirubinemia decreased.In both cases, fatty changes in the liver were detected.Chemotherapy -associated hepatotoxicity may induce hyperbilirubinemia after hepatectomy.The effectiveness of systemic steroid therapy for hyperbilirubinemia is demonstrated by these cases.
