- Abstract
Background and Aims Ulcerative colitis [UC] can lead to colitis-associated colorectal neoplasm [CAN]. Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, which is regulated by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA [ADAR], induces the post-transcriptional modification of critical oncogenes, including antizyme inhibitor 1 [AZIN1], leading to colorectal carcinogenesis. Therefore, we hypothesized that ADAR1 might be involved in the development of CAN in UC. Methods We systematically analysed a cohort of 139 UC cases [40 acute phase, 73 remission phase, 26 CAN]. The degree of inflammation was evaluated using the Mayo endoscopic score [MES]. Results The type 1 interferon [IFN]-related inflammation pathway was upregulated in the rectum of active UC, rectum of UC-CAN and tumour site of UC-CAN patients. ADAR1 expression was upregulated in the entire colon of CAN cases, while it was downregulated in non-CAN MES0 cases. ADAR1 expression in the rectum predicted the development of CAN better than p53 or β-catenin, with an area under the curve of 0.93. The high expression of ADAR1 and high AZIN1 RNA editing in UC was triggered by type 1 IFN stimulation from UC-specific microbiomes, such as seen in Fusobacterium in vitro analyses. The induction of AZIN1 RNA editing by ADAR1, whose expression is promoted by Fusobacterium , may induce carcinogenesis in UC. Conclusions The risk of CAN can be evaluated by assessing ADAR1 expression in the rectum of MES0 UC patients, freeing UC patients from unnecessary colonoscopy and reducing their physical burden. RNA editing may be involved in UC carcinogenesis, and may be used to facilitate the prevention and treatment of CAN in UC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
A parahiatal hernia (PH) is a rare diaphragmatic hernia (DH) adjacent to but separated from the esophageal hiatus. The surgical repair for PH needs primary suture closure or complicated hernioplasty and the addition of an anti-reflux procedure. This report describes a case of PH with a symptomatic esophageal hiatal hernia managed using three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy. A 65-year-old woman with back pain and breathlessness was referred to our hospital for a DH. Computed tomography showed a diaphragmatic defect on the left side of the esophageal hiatus. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and 24-hour esophageal impedance-pH monitoring showed a symptomatic esophageal hiatal hernia. Laparoscopic repair for both hernias was performed using 3D laparoscopy. The DH orifice was located in the left crus of the diaphragm, and it was separated from the esophageal hiatus. These findings showed that this DH was a PH. The PH was repaired with primary suturing, and a hiatoplasty was performed. Toupet fundoplication was performed with a 270° posterior wrap of the gastric fornix. The patient has remained asymptomatic a year after surgery without any complications. 3D laparoscopy provides significant advantages in surgeries requiring precise suturing. PH repairs require complex procedures, including mesh repair or suturing. Approximately 44 % of PH cases also necessitate fundoplication. 3D laparoscopy was useful for the present case. A rare PH and a symptomatic type 1 hiatal hernia were repaired with 3D laparoscopy, which is helpful for PH treatment in cases requiring complicated procedures. • A parahiatal hernia is a diaphragmatic hernia adjacent to but separated from the esophageal hiatus. • Parahiatal hernias need to be repaired with primary suture closure or complicated hernioplasty using a mesh and adding an anti-reflux procedure. • In 44% of past cases, anti-reflux surgery was performed in cases of symptomatic reflux or a complicated hiatal hernia with reflux. • 3D laparoscopy provides particular benefits for operation time in surgeries that included sutures. • A rare parahiatal hernia and a symptomatic type 1 hiatal hernia were repaired with 3D laparoscopy, which is helpful for PH treatment in cases requiring complicated procedures.

- Abstract
Background: Although the main manifestation of giant paraesophageal hernia (PEH) is disordered meal passage due to gastric torsion, the contents of the hernia sometimes squeeze the heart and lungs and induce the symptoms of respiratory or heart failure. Furthermore, the quality of life (QOL) of patients with a heavy cardiac load deteriorates. In this study, changes in a heart failure marker and symptoms of cases with a giant PEH from before to after laparoscopic surgery were examined. Methods: Levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as a heart failure marker were measured before and after radical laparoscopic surgery in cases of type III, IV type of giant PEH. Changes of the symptoms due to heart failure were also investigated. Results: A total of 75 hiatal hernia surgeries were performed in 2012–2019. Of them, 50 had a giant PEH, and 20 (40.0%) had heart failure symptoms such as fatigue and exertional dyspnea. In the giant PEH cases, BNP could be measured before and after surgery to evaluate the presence of heart failure in 23 cases; postoperative BNP levels decreased from the preoperative values in 18 of them. Furthermore, in many cases, chest symptoms also improved. Conclusions: Radical laparoscopic surgery can reduce heart failure due to giant PEH. Therefore, in addition to conventional surgical indication criteria such as vomiting and food loss, increased cardiac load may be added to the new surgical indication criteria.

- Abstract
Background: We have recently standardized upper mediastinal lymph node dissection (UMLND) using a microanatomy-based concept in thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (TEPP), and introduced robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) using the same concept as in TEPP while aiming at solo surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes of RAMIE using the microanatomy-based concept in the initial introduction phase. Methods: We have performed more than 500 TEPP procedures as minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). After performing about 400 cases of MIE, we established a microanatomy-based standardization of UMLND. In October 2018, we introduced RAMIE, and have performed 75 procedures in 20 months. Two groups were analyzed: a group after microanatomy-based standardization in TEPP (100 cases after completing 400 cases of TEPP) and a RAMIE group (75 cases). Finally, 51 paired cases were matched using a propensity score. Furthermore, the change in postoperative short-term outcome for RAMIE in the initial introduction phase was analyzed. Results: Although there were no significant differences between the two groups in the number of upper mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, there was a significant decrease (P= 0.036) in intraoperative blood loss volume with RAMIE, representing a definite benefit for patients. The thoracoscopic operative time for RAMIE decreased by almost 100 min following less than 50 cases of experience, reaching the same level as that for recent TEPP, but with only one-tenth the operator experience. There were no significant differences in the total postoperative morbidity rate including the recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy rate. Conclusion: RAMIE has been introduced safely and smoothly using the microanatomy-based concept established in TEPP.

- Abstract
Background: Although thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (TEPP) has become a standard procedure for esophageal cancer surgery, upper mediastinal lymph node dissection (UMLND) on the left side remains an issue. We have recently developed a new standardized approach to left UMLND in TEPP based on the microanatomy of the membranes and layers with the aim of achieving quick and safe surgery. The purpose of this study was to establish and evaluate our new standardized procedure in left UMLND. Patients and methods: Patients were divided into 2 groups: a pre-standardization group (n?=?100) and a post-standardization group (n?=?100). Eventually, 83 paired cases were matched using propensity score matching. In our new standardized procedure, left UMLND was performed while focusing on the visceral sheath, vascular sheath, and the fusion layer between them using a magnified view. Results: The thoracoscopic operative time was significantly shorter (P?<?0.001) in the post-standardization group [n?=?83; 209.0 (176.0–235.0) min] than in the pre-standardization group [n?=?83; 235.5 (202.8–264.5) min]. No significant differences were found in the number of mediastinal lymph nodes dissected or intraoperative blood loss between the two groups. There was a tendency for the total postoperative morbidity to decrease in the post-standardization group. Furthermore, the left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy rate was significantly lower in the post-standardization group (18.1% to 8.7%, P?=?0.015). Conclusion: Microanatomy-based standardization contributes to safe and efficient left UMLND.

- Abstract
ABSTRACTCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are strongly implicated in tumor progression, including in the processes of tumorigenesis, invasion, and metastasis. The targeting of CAFs using various therapeutic approaches is a novel treatment strategy; however, the efficacy of such therapies remains limited. Recently, near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT), which is a novel targeted therapy employing a cell-specific mAb conjugated to a photosensitizer, has been introduced as a new type of phototherapy. In this study, we have developed a novel NIR-PIT technique to target CAFs, by focusing on fibroblast activation protein (FAP), and we evaluate the treatment efficacy in vitroand in vivo. Esophageal carcinoma cells exhibited enhanced activation of fibroblasts, with FAP over-expressed in the cytoplasm and on the cell surface. FAP-IR700-mediated PIT showed induced rapid cell death specifically for those cells in vitroand in vivo, without adverse effects. This novel therapy for CAFs, designed as local control phototherapy, was safe and showed a promising inhibitory effect on FAP+CAFs. PIT targeting CAFs via the specific marker FAP may be a therapeutic option for CAFs in the tumor microenvironment in the future.

- Abstract
Recently, laparoscopic surgery (LS) has become a more common procedure than traditional open surgery. Although LS-related adverse events have been reported, there is no formal, standardized curriculum to teach the fundamentals of LS in Japan. Understanding surgeons’ knowledge regarding LS is crucial for developing an educational curriculum. The purpose of this study was to determine the baseline knowledge on LS of surgeons and surgical trainees in Japan. Participants completed 24 multiple-choice questions testing basic cognitive knowledge of LS and a questionnaire regarding the status of laparoscopic education. The examination was developed according to the 13 content domains of the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program. Scores were compared between post-graduate year (PGY) > 5 and PGY 1–5 participants. Data are expressed as median scores and interquartile ranges. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis. A total of 195 surgeons and surgical trainees from 10 teaching hospitals (PGY1–5: 66, PGY > 5: 129) across Japan completed the examination. The median score in the entire cohort was 75 [67; 83] %, with significantly higher scores in the PGY > 5 group compared to the PGY1–5 group (79 [75; 83] % vs. 67 [58; 75] %, p< 0.001). The differences in performance were due to better scores for PGY > 5 group on the sections “equipment,” “patient considerations,” “abdominal access,” “tissue handling,” “hemorrhage and hemostasis,” “tissue approximation,” and “exiting the abdomen.” Overall, the median scores in the “energy sources” and “establishment and physiology of the pneumoperitoneum” subsections were lower than in other domains. All participants agreed on the need for fundamental knowledge and a formal educational curriculum. Compared to experienced surgeons, surgical trainees had lesser knowledge about performing LS. Regardless of the years of experience, there are crucial knowledge gaps in specific areas regarding safe LS that should be addressed by implementing an educational curriculum.

- Abstract
ABSTACTHuman hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is known to have a poor prognosis. Sorafenib, a molecular targeted drug, is most commonly used for HCC treatment. However, its effect on HCC is limited in clinical use and therefore new strategies regarding sorafenib treatment are required. Iron overload is known to be associated with progression of chronic hepatitis and increased risk of HCC. We previously reported that iron depletion inhibited cancer cell proliferation and conversely induced angiogenesis. Indeed iron depletion therapy including iron chelator needs to be combined with anti-angiogenic drug for its anti-cancer effect. Since sorafenib has an anti-angiogenic effect by its inhibitory targeting VEGFR, we hypothesized that sorafenib could complement the anti-cancer effect of iron depletion. We retrospectively analyzed the relationship between the efficacy of sorafenib and serum iron-related markers in clinical HCC patients. In clinical cases, overall survival was prolonged in total iron binding capacity (TIBC) high- and ferritin low-patients. This result suggested that the low iron-pooled patients, who could have a potential of more angiogenic properties in/around HCC tumors, could be adequate for sorafenib treatment. We determined the effect of sorafenib (Nexavar®) and/or deferasirox (EXJADE®) on cancer cell viability, and on cell signaling of human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 and HLE cells. Both iron depletion by deferasirox and sorafenib revealed insufficient cytotoxic effect by each monotherapy, however, on the basis of increased angiogenesis by iron depletion, the addition of deferasirox enhanced anti-proliferative effect of sorafenib. Deferasirox was confirmed to increase vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion into cellular supernatants by ELISA analysis. In in vivo study sorafenib combined with deferasirox also enhanced sorafenib-induced apoptosis. These results suggested that sorafenib combined with deferasirox could be a novel combination chemotherapy for HCC.

- Abstract
Despite the widespread use of surgical energy devices and the potential for rare but serious complications, pilot data from North America suggest that surgeons and surgical trainees have knowledge gaps in their safe use. The purpose of this study was to determine baseline knowledge of general surgeons and surgical trainees regarding the safe use of electrosurgery (ES) across varying levels of experience in Japan. Participants completed a 35-item multiple-choice question examination, testing critical knowledge of ES. The examination was developed according to the objectives and blueprints of SAGES’ Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy™ curriculum. Sections of the examination included: “principles of ES,” “ES-related adverse events,” “monopolar and bipolar devices,” and “pediatric considerations and interference with implantable devices.” Scores were compared between PGY > 5 and PGY 1–5 participants. A total of 145 general surgeons and surgical trainees of all years after medical school (PGY 1–5: 57, PGY > 5: 88) from ten academic and five community hospitals completed the assessment (mean age 35; 91 % male). The mean score in the entire cohort was 58 ± 12 % (range 23–83 %), with significantly higher scores in the PGY > 5 group compared to the PGY 1–5 group (60 ± 11 vs. 53 ± 12 %, p< 0.01). Among all participants, 92 % were not familiar with best practices when using ES on patients with a pacemaker; 44 % believe that ES uses thermal energy from cautery; 19 % did not know how to manage an operating room fire; 16 % thought that a dispersive electrode should be cut to fit a child; and 27 % believe that insulation failure in minimally invasive surgical instruments is mostly visible under careful inspection. General surgeons and trainees at all levels have knowledge gaps in the safe and effective use of energy devices, regardless of years of experience. There is a need for educational curricula to help address these gaps and contribute to safer surgery.

Summary: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors often express gene mutations to c-KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α, both of which result in constitutive activations of their signaling pathways that are quite essential for the proliferation and survival of tumor cells in most clinical gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Targeting these molecules provides a dramatic improvement to therapeutic strategy. To identify a new therapeutic target for gastrointestinal stromal tumor treatment, we focused on focal adhesion kinase, which is reported to be an up-regulated gene in clinical gastrointestinal stromal tumors, because so far no one has examined its expression status at the protein level. In this study, Western blot analysis revealed that all 10 of the examined gastrointestinal stromal tumor tissues strongly expressed focal adhesion kinase protein and that phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase was detected in 9 of them. Next, we assessed the expression status of focal adhesion kinase and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase in 51 cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumor by immunohistochemistry. Positive stainings for focal adhesion kinase and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase were confirmed in 44 (86.3%) and in 40 cases (78.4%) of the 51 gastrointestinal stromal tumors, respectively. We further found that the focal adhesion kinase–positive staining rate became higher along with the increased status of malignant behavior. Moreover, when the 51 gastrointestinal stromal tumors were divided into 2 groups based upon their focal adhesion kinase expression status, the 5-year overall survival of patients in the focal adhesion kinase–positive group (66.5%) was significantly poorer than that in the focal adhesion kinase–negative group (100%). These results indicate that the up-regulation of focal adhesion kinase protein may also contribute to the tumor progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors and that focal adhesion kinase is a potential target for gastrointestinal stromal tumor treatment.

Background & Aims: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is known to be a highly angiogenic tumor. Here, we investigated the role of the stromal fibroblasts in the ESCC-induced angiogenic response using a novel 3-dimensional model. Methods: A novel assay was developed where cocultures of ESCC and esophageal fibroblasts induced human microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) vascular network formation in a 3-dimensional collagen gel. Biochemical studies showed that the ESCC-induced activation of the fibroblasts was required to induce vascular network formation via a transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-dependent pathway. Results: Conditioned media from a panel of 4 ESCC lines transdifferentiated normal esophageal fibroblasts into myofibroblasts via TGF-β signaling. The presence of fibroblasts was essential for efficient HMVEC network formation, and the addition of ESCC cells to these cultures greatly enhanced the angiogenic process. The role of TGF-β in this process was shown by the complete inhibition of network formation following TGF-β inhibitor treatment. Finally, we showed that ESCC-derived TGF-β regulates angiogenesis through the release of VEGF from the fibroblasts and that the VEGF release was blocked following TGF-β inhibition. Conclusions: This study shows the essential role of fibroblasts in the ESCC angiogenic-induced response and suggests that the pharmacologic targeting of the TGF-β signaling axis could be of therapeutic benefit in this deadly disease.

Smalley, Keiran SM, Lioni, Mercedes, Noma, Kazuhiro, Haass, Nikolas K, and Herlyn, Meenhard
- Abstract
Anticancer drug discovery has long been hampered by the poor predictivity of the preclinical models. There is a growing realization that the tumor microenvironment is a critical determinant of the response of cancer cells to therapeutic agents. The past 5 years have seen a great deal of progress in our understanding of how the three-dimensional microenvironment modulates the signaling behavior of tumor cells. The present review discusses how three-dimensional in vitrocell culture models can benefit cancer drug discovery through an accurate modeling of the tumor microenvironment, leading to more physiologically relevant experimental outcomes.
