Shirou Kuwabara; Norio Katayanagi

BackgroundAlthough the feasibility and advantages of video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (VATS-E) for esophageal cancer are well studied, its application is limited, possibly because it is technically complex.MethodsNinety-eight patients who underwent VATS-E at our institutes were divided into three groups by the type of thoracoscope, TV monitor, and patient position used. For the first 18 patients, we used the left lateral position, a flexible thoracoscope, and a single TV monitor (method A); for the next 58 patients, the left lateral position, a 30° thoracoscope, and two TV monitors (method B); and for the last 22 patients, the prone position with 30° thoracoscope and single TV monitor (method C). We compared the area of operative field and clinical outcomes in these three approaches.ResultsOn the basis of subjective assessment, method C afforded a better operative field than methods A and B. No significant differences were noted between the three positions in operative time, duration of intubation, rate of occurrence of recurrent nerve palsy, and anastomotic leakage. However, blood loss, rate of respiratory tract complications, and length of postoperative hospital stay were decreased in the order of position. The total number of dissected lymph nodes increased in the order of position.ConclusionsVATS-E in prone position with a 30° thoracoscope and a single TV monitor appear to be superior to VATS-E in the left lateral position in terms of operative field, blood loss, respiratory tract complication, and number of lymph nodes dissected. Randomized control studies would help confirm these results.

PurposeTo test the usefulness of diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) for identifying blunt hollow visceral injury with two different sets of criteria or a combination of the two.MethodsFifty victims with physical examinations and/or computed tomography findings equivocal for blunt hollow visceral injury underwent DPL. Whether or not to perform surgery was determined based on Otomos DPL criteria [lavage white blood cell counts (L-WBC) over lavage red blood cell counts (L-RBC) divided by 150 (L-WBC ≥ L-RBC/150) in the presence of hemoperitoneum, or L-WBC over 500/mm3 (L-WBC ≥ 500) in the absence of hemoperitoneum]. The cell count ratio, a comparison of L-WBC, L-RBC, peripheral WBC (P-WBC), and peripheral RBC (P-RBC) [(L-WBC/L-RBC)/(P-WBC/P-RBC) ≥ 1] were all calculated retrospectively.ResultsThere were one and two false-positive cases based on Otomos criteria and the cell count ratio, respectively, with corresponding accuracies of 97.8% and 95.7%, respectively. There were no false-positive or -negative cases according to the combined use of Otomos criteria and cell count ratio, yielding an accuracy of 100%.ConclusionAlthough each criterion alone is very accurate in predicting the presence of blunt hollow visceral injury, the combined use of the two would further improve the accuracy of the diagnosis and thereby reduce the number of unnecessary celiotomies.

We report a case of jejunal loop obstruction by a large gallstone caused by Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy-induced acute cholangitis. The patient was admitted with sepsis as well as abdominal and back pain. Abdominal computed tomography showed a dilated jejunal loop and an obstructing large mass. After his clinical condition and laboratory values improved, we performed laparotomy, which revealed a dilated jejunal loop with a palpable mass, and a gallstone was removed via enterotomy. After the disimpaction of the stone and control of the infection, his clinical condition and laboratory values continued to improve. Gallstone formation is rare after hepaticojejunostomy and to our knowledge, no other cases of acute cholangitis caused by a stone obstructing the jejunal loop have ever been reported. As with other major complications, early diagnosis and prompt initiation of surgical treatment are important to prevent any deterioration in the patients general condition.

A cell line designated TSG6 was established from a signet-ring cell gastric carcinoma developed in a 57-year-old female patient. The TSG6 cells had well preserved the features of signet-ring cell carcinoma based on morphology. The cells exhibited both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) immunoreactivities, and also secreted EGF. Moreover, the growth of TSG6 cells was stimulated in the presence of exogenous EGF. These results suggest that the possible presence of an EGF/EGFR autocrine growth mechanism is expressed in the TSG6 cells. The simultaneous treatment with EGF and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) produced a nearly 2.4-fold enhancement of 5-FU cytotoxicity against TSG6 cells. A bromodeoxyuridine/DNA How cytometry analysis revealed that EGF augmented 5-FU cytotoxicity by inducing the accumulation of S phase cells which might be more susceptible to 5-FU. Moreover, we found that the incorporation of 5-FU into the TSG6 cells was increased with the addition of EGF. These data indicate that EGF may be a potent agent as a biological response modifier for 5-FU against the tumors which express the EGF/EGFR autocrine mechanism, and that the TSG6 cell line is useful in furthering our understanding of the interaction between anticancer drugs and EGF.

We have established a low‐level adriamycin (ADM)‐resistant human gastric cancer cell line (MKN45R) from the parental cell line (MKN45) by exposure to step wise increases of ADM concentration (final concentration, 0.026 μg/ml). The purpose of this study was to identify the early steps in the development of ADM resistance in MKN45R by flow cytometric (FCM) analysis. Comparison of the concentration required for 50% growth inhibition, determined by a tetrazolium‐based colorimetric assay, showed that MKN45R was about 2.6‐fold more resistant to ADM than MKN45. However, the inhibition index values were 89.5% for MKN45 and 86.4% for MKN4SR, respectively, showing that ADM was judged to be “effective” against both cell lines. On the other hand, cell kinetic analysis by FCM revealed that the increase of the ratio of G2M accumulation induced by ADM treatment was significantly lower (p0.01) in MKN45R. Moreover, the efflux of ADM estimated by FCM analysis was significantly increased (P<0.05) in MKN45R even though there was no significant increase of P‐glycoprotein expression. These results suggest that although ADM was still effective based on a standard drug sensitivity test, the cancer cells were already acquiring resistance to ADM as judged from FCM analysis. Moreover, the mechanism of this ADM resistance is considered to be independent of P‐glycoprotein expression. Thus, FCM analysis is useful for detecting the early steps in the development of drug resistance of cancer cells.

BackgroundMany cases of choledocholiths formed around sutures and clips used during cholecystectomy have been reported. We describe a case of gallstone formation around a nylon suture after non-biliary surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case.Case presentationA 75-year-old Japanese man, who had undergone distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer and reconstruction with the Billroth II method 8 years earlier, presented with gastric discomfort. Abdominal ultrasonography was conducted and we diagnosed cholecysto-choledocholithiasis with dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct. He underwent cholecystectomy and cholangioduodenostomy for choledocholith removal. Gallstones, which had formed around a nylon suture used during the previous gastrectomy, were found in the bile duct. Sutures of the same material had also been placed on the duodenum. Chemical analysis revealed that the stones were composed of calcium bilirubinate. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 19, and choledocholithiasis has not recurred thus far.ConclusionThe findings from this case suggest that standard, non-resorbable sutures used in gastrectomy may be associated with the formation of bile duct stones; therefore, absorbable suture material may be required to avert gallstone formation even in the case of gastrectomy.
