- Abstract
Background and Aims: Colorectal serrated lesions (SLs) are precursors of colorectal carcinoma via the serrated neoplasia pathway. However, the success rate of endoscopic resection of large SLs is low. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of underwater EMR (UEMR) for SLs sized 10 to 20 mm., Methods: This 2-center, prospective, observational study included patients with at least 1 SL sized 10 to 20 mm. We resected the SLs by UEMR and performed tattooing at the resection site. Surveillance colonoscopy was performed 12 months postoperatively to evaluate local recurrence. The primary outcome was the complete resection rate of UEMR, which was defined as en bloc resection with no serrated tissue in the 4 marginal biopsy samples and histologically negative margins., Results: UEMR was performed for 65 SLs in 58 patients, with a median lesion size of 14 mm. The en bloc, R0 resection, and complete resection rates were 87.7% (57 of 65), 61.5% (40 of 65), and 60.0% (39 of 65), respectively. Adverse events included 1 (1.5%) immediate bleeding and 1 (1.5%) delayed perforation. Surveillance colonoscopy was performed in 50 patients with 57 scars, and the rates of identification for tattoos and scars were 94.7% (54 of 57) and 100% (57 of 57), respectively. The recurrence rate was 5.3% (3 of 57), and all 3 recurrent lesions were completely resected endoscopically., Conclusions: This 2-center prospective study demonstrated that UEMR for SLs sized 10 to 20 mm was comparable to previous conventional EMR outcomes., Competing Interests: Disclosure All authors disclosed no financial relationships., (Copyright © 2024 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

- Abstract
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) involves narrowing of the celiac artery root from MAL compression, leading to pancreatoduodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA) due to increased retrograde blood flow from the superior mesenteric artery into the PDA. We encountered a case in which coil embolization was performed for PDAA rupture due to MALS. Four years later, a second PDAA occurred and ruptured, necessitating coil reembolization. There have been no reports of recurrence during long-term follow-up after PDAA treatment in patients with MALS. We herein report a rare case of metachronous PDAA rupture in the context of MALS. The relevant literature and 11 PDAA/MALS cases are discussed.

- Abstract
A 52-year-old man who had been using a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) for 14 years underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and was found to have three neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in the gastric body. Following detailed examinations, parietal cell dysfunction was excluded, and the NETs did not meet the criteria for the Rindi classification types I-III. The lesions were ultimately considered to be associated with the long-term use of the PPI and P-CAB. We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection of the lesions, with no recurrence or new lesions noted after discontinuation of the PPI and P-CAB.

- Abstract
The total synthesis of 1,4a-di- epi-ent -pancratistatin, a novel stereoisomer of the anti-tumor Amaryllidaceae alkaloid pancratistatin, was achieved in 14 steps starting from D-mannitol. The construction of the pancratistatin skeleton involved conjugate addition of organocuprate to a nitrosoolefin, which was generated in situ from inosose oxime. This was followed by stereoselective reduction of the oxime to an amine and site-selective formylation. Biological evaluations revealed that the newly synthesized compounds exhibit cytotoxicity toward cancer cells and significant ferroptosis inhibitory activity. These compounds constitute a promising small-molecule library for the development of potent bioactive agents.

- Abstract
Aim: To analyze characteristics and investigate prognostic indicators of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in a hilly area in Japan., Methods: A retrospective population-based study was conducted using the Utstein Registry for 4280 OHCA patients in the Nagasaki Medical Region (NMR) registered over the 10-year period from 2011 to 2020. The main outcome measure was a favorable cerebral performance category (CPC 1-2). Sites at which OHCA occurred were classified into "sloped places (SPs)" (not easily accessible by emergency medical services [EMS] personnel due to slopes) and "accessible places (APs)" (EMS personnel could park an ambulance close to the site). The characteristics and prognosis based on CPC were compared between SPs and APs, and multivariable analysis was performed., Results: No significant improvement in prognosis occurred in the NMR from 2011 to 2020. Prognosis in SPs was significantly worse than that in APs. However, multivariable analysis did not identify SP as a prognostic indicator. The following factors were associated with survival and CPC 1-2: age group, witness status, first documented rhythm, bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use, use of mechanical CPR (m-CPR) device or esophageal obturator airway (EOA), and year. Both m-CPR and EOA use were associated with a poor prognosis., Conclusion: In a hilly area, OHCA patients in SPs had a worse prognosis than those in APs, but SPs was not significantly associated with prognosis by multivariable analysis. Interventions to increase bystander-initiated CPR and AED use could potentially improve outcomes of OHCA in the NMR., Competing Interests: Dr. Osamu Tasaki is an Editorial Board member of the Acute Medicine & Surgery journal and a co‐author of this article.

- Abstract
Globally, the rapid aging of the population is predicted to become even more severe in the second half of the 21st century. Thus, it is expected to establish a growing expectation for innovative, non-invasive health indicators and diagnostic methods to support disease prevention, care, and health promotion efforts. In this study, we aimed to establish a new health index and disease diagnosis method by analyzing the minerals and free amino acid components contained in hair shaft. We first evaluated the range of these components in healthy humans and then conducted a comparative analysis of these components in subjects with diabetes, hypertension, androgenetic alopecia, major depressive disorder, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke. In the statistical analysis, we first used a student's t test to compare the hair components of healthy people and those of patients with various diseases. However, many minerals and free amino acids showed significant differences in all diseases, because the sample size of the healthy group was very large compared to the sample size of the disease group. Therefore, we attempted a comparative analysis based on effect size, which is not affected by differences in sample size. As a result, we were able to narrow down the minerals and free amino acids for all diseases compared to t test analysis. For diabetes, the t test narrowed down the minerals to 15, whereas the effect size measurement narrowed it down to 3 (Cr, Mn, and Hg). For free amino acids, the t test narrowed it down to 15 minerals. By measuring the effect size, we were able to narrow it down to 7 (Gly, His, Lys, Pro, Ser, Thr, and Val). It is also possible to narrow down the minerals and free amino acids in other diseases, and to identify potential health indicators and disease-related components by using effect size., Competing Interests: I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: This work was partially performed under the condition of an Invention Agreement among RIKEN, Aderans Co., Ltd., Adjuvant Cosme Japan Co., Ltd., Daikin Industries, Ltd., Nippon Life Insurance, Company, Shimadzu Corporation, Tosoh Corporation and Organ Technologies Inc.

- Abstract
Background: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major global health concern that leads to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and cancer. Regimens containing direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have become the mainstay of HCV treatment, achieving a high sustained virological response (SVR) with minimal adverse events., Case Summary: A 74-year-old woman with chronic HCV infection was treated with the DAAs ledipasvir, and sofosbuvir for 12 wk and achieved SVR. Twenty-four weeks after treatment completion, the liver enzyme and serum IgG levels increased, and antinuclear antibody became positive without HCV viremia, suggesting the development of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). After liver biopsy indicated AIH, a definite AIH diagnosis was made and prednisolone was initiated. The treatment was effective, and the liver enzyme and serum IgG levels normalized. However, multiple strictures of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts with dilatation of the peripheral bile ducts appeared on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography after 3 years of achieving SVR, which were consistent with primary sclerosing cholangitis., Conclusion: The potential risk of developing autoimmune liver diseases after DAA treatment should be considered., Competing Interests: Conflict-of-interest statement: All authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest., (©The Author(s) 2024.
