RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Unresectable ampullary cancer (AC) is a rare disease entity. The risk factors for recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) following endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) for unresectable AC remain unknown. In this study we aimed to evaluate the cumulative RBO rate and to identify risk factors for RBO following palliative EBS in patients with unresectable AC. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective observational study enrolled consecutive patients with unresectable AC who had undergone palliative EBS between April 2011 and December 2021. The cumulative rate of and risk factors for RBO following palliative EBS were evaluated via multivariate analysis. RESULTS: The study analysis comprised 107 patients with a median age of 84 years (interquartile range 79-88 years). Plastic stents (PSs) and self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) were placed in 53 and 54 patients, respectively. Functional success was accomplished in 104 (97.2%) patients. Of these, RBO occurred in 62 (59.6%) patients, with obstruction and complete/partial migration occurring in 47 and 15 patients, respectively. The median time to RBO was 190 days. Multivariate analysis showed that PS was associated with a higher rate of RBO compared to SEMS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.48; P < 0.01) and that the presence of common bile duct stones/sludge immediately after EBS was an independent risk factor for RBO (HR 1.99; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: The use of SEMS compared to PS during EBS reduced the time to RBO in patients with unresectable AC. Common bile duct stones/sludge immediately after EBS was a risk factor for RBO.

An 87-year-old man visited his previous doctor because of jaundice, abdominal pain, and disturbance of consciousness. He was diagnosed with cholangitis and panperitonitis and was referred to our hospital. Emergency laparotomy revealed biliary peritonitis. However, the bile leak point was unclear. Two days after surgery, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed and revealed hilar bile duct stenosis, slight dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct, and bile leakage from the peripheral left intrahepatic bile duct to the abdominal free space. Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage was performed, and bile leakage decreased. He was discharged from our hospital with improvement from jaundice and peritonitis. Intrahepatic bile duct rupture with neoplastic obstruction of the bile duct is extremely rare. To date, only two cases of intrahepatic bile duct rupture with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma have been published.

Myofibrillogenesis is an essential process for cardiogenesis and is closely related to excitation-contraction coupling and the maintenance of heartbeat. It remains unclear whether the formation of myofibrils and sarcomeres is associated with heartbeat initiation in the early embryonic heart development. Here, we investigated the association between the ultrastructure of myofibrils assessed by transmission electron microscopy and their proteomic profiling assessed by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) in the rat heart primordia before and after heartbeat initiation at embryonic day 10.0, when heartbeat begins in rats, and in the primitive heart tube at embryonic day 11.0. Bundles of myofilaments were scattered in a few cells of the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation, whereas there were no typical sarcomeres in the heart primordia both before and after heartbeat initiation. Sarcomeres with Z-lines were identified in cells of the primitive heart tube, though myofilaments were not aligned. DIA-MS proteome analysis revealed that only 43 proteins were significantly upregulated by more than 2.0 fold among a total of 7,762 detected proteins in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation compared with that before heartbeat initiation. Indeed, of those upregulated proteins, 12 (27.9%) were constituent proteins of myofibrils and 10 (23.3%) were proteins that were accessories and regulators for myofibrillogenesis, suggesting that upregulated proteins that are associated with heartbeat initiation were enriched in myofibrillogenesis. Collectively, our results suggest that the establishment of heartbeat is induced by development of bundles of myofilaments with upregulated proteins associated with myofibrillogensis, whereas sarcomeres are not required for the initial heartbeat.
RESUMO
The initiation of heartbeat is an essential step in cardiogenesis in the heart primordium, but it remains unclear how intracellular metabolism responds to increased energy demands after heartbeat initiation. In this study, embryos in Wistar rats at embryonic day 10, at which heartbeat begins in rats, were divided into two groups by the heart primordium before and after heartbeat initiation and their metabolic characteristics were assessed. Metabolome analysis revealed that increased levels of ATP, a main product of glucose catabolism, and reduced glutathione, a by-product of the pentose phosphate pathway, were the major determinants in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. Glycolytic capacity and ATP synthesis-linked mitochondrial respiration were significantly increased, but subunits in complexes of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation were not upregulated in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α was activated and a glucose transporter and rate-limiting enzymes of the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways, which are HIF-1α-downstream targets, were upregulated in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. These results suggest that the HIF-1α-mediated enhancement of glycolysis with activation of the pentose phosphate pathway, potentially leading to antioxidant defense and nucleotide biosynthesis, covers the increased energy demand in the beating and developing heart primordium.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) before endoscopic transpapillary biliary drainage in preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of performing ES before biliary stent/tube placement on the occurrence of PEP. METHODS: Three hundred seventy patients with biliary stricture requiring endoscopic biliary stenting were enrolled and randomly allocated to the ES group (n = 185) or non-ES group (n = 185). All participants were followed up for 30 days after the procedure. The data and occurrence of adverse events were prospectively collected. The primary outcome measure of this study was the incidence of PEP within 2 days of initial transpapillary biliary drainage. Secondary outcome measures were the incidence of other adverse events related to biliary stent/tube placement. RESULTS: PEP occurred in 36 patients (20.6%) in the non-ES group and in 7 patients (3.9%) in the ES group (P < .001). The difference in the incidence of PEP between the 2 groups in the per-protocol population was 16.7% (95% confidence interval, 10.1%-23.3%), which was not within the noninferiority margin of 6%. Except for bleeding, the incidences of other adverse events were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSION: ES before endoscopic biliary stenting could have the preventive effect on the occurrence of PEP in patients with biliary stricture.

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the long-term outcomes of permanent endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) and risk factors for recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) in high-risk or elderly patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones. METHODS: The electronic database of Hakodate Municipal Hospital was searched to identify elderly or high-risk patients with CBD stones who had undergone permanent EBS using a plastic stent without stone removal and were followed up between April 2011 and May 2019, with no further intervention until symptoms occurred. RESULTS: We analyzed a total of 47 patients, of whom 19 (40.4%) were men, with a median age of 86 years (interquartile range 80-90 years). RBO and death without biliary disease occurred in 14 (29.8%) and 19 (40.4%) patients, respectively. The cumulative RBO rates at 20, 40, and 60 months were 22.1%, 31.8%, and 35.5%, respectively. The median time to RBO was 13.0 and 38.0 months in the group with CBD stone ≥15 mm and 11-14 mm in diameter, respectively. The cumulative RBO incidence rate in the group with CBD stone ≤10 mm in diameter did not reach 50%. The cumulative RBO incidence rates were significantly different among the three groups based on the CBD stone diameter (competing risk analysis, P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that an increase in CBD stone diameter predicted the increased risk of RBO (hazard ratio 1.26, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Permanent EBS is a feasible option for high-risk patients with small CBD stones.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Needle tract seeding after preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic body and tail cancer has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes, including the needle tract seeding ratio, of patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic body and tail cancer diagnosed preoperatively by EUS-FNA. METHODS: This retrospective, observational cohort study assessed patients from three university hospitals and 11 tertiary referral centers. All patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy for invasive cancer of the pancreatic body and tail between January 2006 and December 2015 were identified and reviewed. Needle tract seeding rate, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 301 total patients analyzed, 176 underwent preoperative EUS-FNA (EUS-FNA group) and 125 did not (non-EUS-FNA group). The median follow-up periods of the EUS-FNA group and non-EUS-FNA group were 32.8 and 30.1 months. Six patients (3.4%) in the EUS-FNA group were diagnosed as having needle tract seeding. The 5-year cumulative needle tract seeding rate estimated using Fine and Gray's method was 3.8% (95% CI 1.6-7.8%). The median RFS or OS was not significantly different between the EUS-FNA group and the non-EUS-FNA group (23.7 vs 16.9 months: P = 0.205; 48.0 vs 43.9 months: P = 0.392). CONCLUSION: Although preoperative EUS-FNA for pancreatic body and tail cancer has no negative effect on RFS or OS, needle tract seeding after EUS-FNA was observed to have a non-negligible rate.

BACKGROUND: Recently, EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) using a Franseen needle was developed for histological tissue acquisition. However, the yield of a 25G Franseen needle when acquiring histological core tissue has been unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a prospective, multicenter, and observational cohort study that included 100 solid lesions scheduled for EUS-FNB using a 25G Franseen needle at eight centers in Hokkaido, Japan. Only EUS-FNB specimens acquired at the first pass were evaluated without a rapid on-site evaluation. The tissue acquisition rate, acquisition rate of an adequate specimen for histological assessment, the quality of tissue sample, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), diagnostic accuracy, and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS: We analyzed a total of 100 solid lesions in 100 patients. The patients were 57 males and 43 females with a median age of 70 years. The technical success rate was 100%. The tissue acquisition rate was 95.0%. The acquisition rate of an adequate specimen for histological assessment was 82.0%. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and diagnostic accuracy were 87.0%, 100%, 100%, 40.0%, and 88.0%, respectively. The adverse event rate was 1.0%, and it was reported in only one patient who had a moderate pancreatic fistula. CONCLUSIONS: EUS-FNB using the 25G Franseen needle was feasible, and adequate histological core tissue samples were acquired with this method.
RESUMO
We diagnosed distal cholangiocarcinoma in a 76-year-old woman who was then treated by subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma on the side of the bile duct, and a neuroendocrine carcinoma in an area outside the bile duct where the tumor had infiltrated. Immunohistochemical staining identified homology between cytokeratins and MUC, indicating a similar origin. This report discusses problems associated with diagnosis and treatment by summarizing 22 patients who underwent curative resection and subsequently had a confirmed prognosis.

A 50-year-old woman was diagnosed with dermatomyositis at the department of neurology in our hospital; she then received steroid pulse therapy. A positron emission computed tomography(PET-CT)revealed swollen lymph nodes near the aorta and in the left inguinal region. She presented at our institution for examination to determine the cause of her lymphadenopathy, but the primary site of the carcinoma was unknown. A histopathological examination of the lymph node specimen obtained using endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration(EUS-FNA)revealed a moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent lymphadenectomy. After the surgery, a new lymph node metastasis appeared in the lower abdomen. We initiated a combination treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient died because of disease progression 31 months after her first visit.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Although the risk of bleeding after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is low, the safety of EUS-FNA in patients prescribed antithrombotic agents is unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated the incidence of bleeding after EUS-FNA in those patients. METHODS: Between September 2012 and September 2015, patients who were prescribed antithrombotic agents underwent EUS-FNA at 13 institutions in Japan were prospectively enrolled in the study. The antithrombotic agents were managed according to the guidelines of the Japanese Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Society. The rate of bleeding events, thromboembolic events and other complications within 2 weeks after EUS-FNA were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 2,629 patients who underwent EUS-FNA during the study period, 85 (62 males; median age, 74 years) patients were included in this stduy. Two patients (2.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6% to 8.3%) experienced bleeding events. One patient required surgical intervention for hemothorax 5 hours after EUS-FNA, and the other experienced melena 8 days after EUS-FNA and required red blood cell transfusions. No thromboembolic events occurred (0%; 95% CI, 0.0% to 4.4%). Three patients (3.5%; 95% CI, 1.2% to 10.0%) experienced peri-puncture abscess formation. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of bleeding after EUS-FNA in patients prescribed antithrombotic agents might be considerable.

A 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with unresectable pancreatic cancer and underwent chemotherapy. However, the number of leukocytes significantly increased as the disease progressed. Serum G-CSF values also increased, and she eventually died on day 511 after diagnosis. Immediately after autopsy, immunohistochemical staining with an anti-G-CSF monoclonal antibody was positive in the poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma area of the primary pancreatic cancer and liver metastatic foci, but negative in the well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma part of the primary pancreatic cancer. During de-differentiation, invasive pancreatic ductal carcinoma appeared to have changed to a tumor that produced G-CSF.

A 73-year-old man with a hepatocellular carcinoma was admitted to our hospital. He suffered from recurrent severe hypoglycemia. An autopsy was performed after his death. Anti-insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) monoclonal antibody immunostaining of the hepatocellular carcinoma was positive. Western immunoblot analysis of the serum revealed highly elevated IGF-II. Therefore, we diagnosed this case as a non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia caused by a big IGF-II-producing hepatocellular carcinoma.

AIM: To identify the most effective endoscopic biliary drainage technique for patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS: In total, 118 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent endoscopic management [endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) or endoscopic biliary stenting] as a temporary drainage in our institution between 2009 and 2014. We retrospectively evaluated all complications from initial endoscopic drainage to surgery or palliative treatment. The risk factors for biliary reintervention, post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post-ERCP) pancreatitis, and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) were also analyzed using patient- and procedure-related characteristics. The risk factors for bilateral drainage were examined in a subgroup analysis of patients who underwent initial unilateral drainage. RESULTS: In total, 137 complications were observed in 92 (78%) patients. Biliary reintervention was required in 83 (70%) patients. ENBD was significantly associated with a low risk of biliary reintervention [odds ratio (OR) = 0.26, 95%CI: 0.08-0.76, P = 0.012]. Post-ERCP pancreatitis was observed in 19 (16%) patients. An absence of endoscopic sphincterotomy was significantly associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis (OR = 3.46, 95%CI: 1.19-10.87, P = 0.023). PTBD was required in 16 (14%) patients, and Bismuth type III or IV cholangiocarcinoma was a significant risk factor (OR = 7.88, 95%CI: 1.33-155.0, P = 0.010). Of 102 patients with initial unilateral drainage, 49 (48%) required bilateral drainage. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (OR = 3.24, 95%CI: 1.27-8.78, P = 0.004) and Bismuth II, III, or IV cholangiocarcinoma (OR = 34.69, 95%CI: 4.88-736.7, P < 0.001) were significant risk factors for bilateral drainage. CONCLUSION: The endoscopic management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is challenging. ENBD should be selected as a temporary drainage method because of its low risk of complications.
RESUMO
A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with extreme weight loss. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed an 8-cm tumor of the pancreatic head. Further investigation revealed orbital, pulmonary, pancreatic, colonic, and bone marrow lesions. A histopathological examination of the pancreatic tumor specimen obtained using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration revealed mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Monoclonal rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain was found in the pulmonary, pancreatic, colonic, and bone marrow lesions. We diagnosed multi-organ disseminated MALT lymphoma, with the largest lesion located in the pancreatic head. Chemo-radiation therapy resulted in complete remission.

BACKGROUND: Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN), a rare neoplasm of the pancreas, frequently harbors mutations in exon 3 of the cadherin-associated protein beta 1 (CTNNB1) gene. Here, we analyzed SPN tissue for CTNNB1 mutations by deep sequencing using next-generation sequencing (NGS). METHODS: Tissue samples from 7 SPNs and 31 other pancreatic lesions (16 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), 11 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET), 1 acinar cell carcinoma, 1 autoimmune pancreatitis lesion, and 2 focal pancreatitis lesions) were analyzed by NGS for mutations in exon 3 of CTNNB1. RESULTS: A single-base-pair missense mutations in exon 3 of CTNNB1 was observed in all 7 SPNs and in 1 of 11 PNET samples. However, mutations were not observed in the tissue samples of any of the 16 PDAC or other four pancreatic disease cases. The variant frequency of CTNNB1 ranged from 5.4 to 48.8 %. CONCLUSIONS: Mutational analysis of CTNNB1 by NGS is feasible and was achieved using SPN samples obtained by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.

BACKGROUND: Bilateral self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement for the management of unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (UMHBO) is technically challenging to perform using the existing metallic stents with thick delivery systems. The recently developed 6-Fr delivery systems could facilitate a single-step simultaneous side-by-side placement through the accessory channel of the duodenoscope. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of this procedure. METHODS: Between May and September 2013, 13 consecutive patients with UMHBO underwent a single-step simultaneous side-by-side placement of SEMS with the 6-Fr delivery system. The technical success rate, stent patency, and rate of complications were evaluated from the prospectively collected database. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in 11 (84.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 57.8-95.8) patients. The median procedure time was 25 min. Early and late complications were observed in 23% (one segmental cholangitis and two liver abscesses) and 15% (one segmental cholangitis and one cholecystitis) patients, respectively. Median dysfunction free patency was 263 days (95% CI: 37-263). Five patients (38%) experienced stent occlusion that was successfully managed by endoscopic stent placement. CONCLUSIONS: A single-step simultaneous side-by-side placement of SEMS with a 6-Fr delivery system was feasible for the management of UMHBO.
