METHODS: A cohort of 82 patients who underwent PD at Okayama University Hospital between 2003 and 2009 was enrolled and the clinicopathological features were compared between patients with and without NAFLD after PD. Computed tomography (CT) images were evaluated every 6 mo after PD for follow-up. Hepatic steatosis was diagnosed on CT when hepatic attenuation values were 40 Hounsfield units. Liver biopsy was performed for 4 of 30 patients with NAFLD after PD who consented to undergo biopsies. To compare NAFLD after PD with NAFLD associated with metabolic syndrome, liver samples were obtained from 10 patients with NAFLD associated with metabolic syndrome [fatty liver, n = 5; non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), n = 5] by percutaneous ultrasonography-guided liver biopsy. Double-fluorescence immunohistochemistry was applied to examine CD14 expression as a marker of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-sensitized macrophage cells (Kupffer cells) in liver biopsy specimens. RESULTS: The incidence of postoperative NAFLD was 36.6% (30/82). Univariate analysis identified cancer of the pancreatic head, sex, diameter of the main pancreatic duct, and dissection of the nerve plexus as factors associated with the development of NAFLD after PD. Those patients who developed NAFLD after PD demonstrated significantly decreased levels of serum albumin, total protein, cholesterol and triglycerides compared to patients without NAFLD after PD, but no glucose intolerance or insulin resistance. Liver biopsy was performed in four patients with NAFLD after PD. All four patients showed moderate-to-severe steatosis and NASH was diagnosed in two. Numbers of cells positive for CD68 (a marker of Kupffer cells) and CD14 (a marker of LPS-sensitized Kupffer cells) were counted in all biopsy specimens. The number of CD68+ cells in specimens of NAFLD after PD was significantly increased from that in specimens of NAFLD associated with metabolic syndrome specimens, which indicated the presence of significantly more Kupffer cells in NAFLD after PD than in NAFLD associated with metabolic syndrome. Similarly, more CD14+ cells, namely, LPS-sensitized Kupffer cells, were observed in NAFLD after PD than in NAFLD associated with metabolic syndrome. Regarding NASH, more CD68+ cells and CD14+ cells were observed in NASH after PD specimens than in NASH associated with metabolic syndrome. This showed that more Kupffer cells and more LPS-sensitized Kupffer cells were present in NASH after PD than in NASH associated with metabolic syndrome. These observations suggest that after PD, Kupffer cells and LPS-sensitized Kupffer cells were significantly upregulated, not only in NASH, but also in simple fatty liver. CONCLUSION: NAFLD after PD is characterized by both malnutrition and the up-regulation of CD14 on Kupffer cells. Gut-derived endotoxin appears central to the development of NAFLD after PD. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SatohDaisuke en-aut-sei=Satoh en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagasakaTakeshi en-aut-sei=Nagasaka en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinouraSusumu en-aut-sei=Shinoura en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmedaYuzo en-aut-sei=Umeda en-aut-mei=Yuzo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaRyuichi en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Ryuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=UtsumiMasashi en-aut-sei=Utsumi en-aut-mei=Masashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaTakehiro en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Pathology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Transplant, and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences en-keyword=Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease kn-keyword=Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease en-keyword=Pancreatoduodenectomy kn-keyword=Pancreatoduodenectomy en-keyword=CD14 kn-keyword=CD14 en-keyword=Endotoxin kn-keyword=Endotoxin en-keyword=Kupffer cells kn-keyword=Kupffer cells END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=62 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=639 end-page=652 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2013 dt-pub=201304 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Intratumoral peptide injection enhances tumor cell antigenicity recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes: a potential option for improvement in antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy is a promising strategy for improving cancer treatment. Recently, many tumor-associated antigens and their epitopes recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) have been identified. However, the density of endogenously presented antigen-derived peptides on tumor cells is generally sparse, resulting in the inability of antigen-specific CTLs to work effectively. We hypothesize that increasing the density of an antigen-derived peptide would enhance antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy. Here, we demonstrated that intratumoral peptide injection leads to additional peptide loading onto major histocompatibility complex class I molecules of tumor cells, enhancing tumor cell recognition by antigen-specific CTLs. In in vitro studies, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02:01-restricted glypican-3(144-152) (FVGEFFTDV) and cytomegalovirus(495-503) (NLVPMVATV) peptide-specific CTLs showed strong activity against all peptide-pulsed cell lines, regardless of whether the tumor cells expressed the antigen. In in vivo studies using immunodeficient mice, glypican-3(144-152) and cytomegalovirus(495-503) peptides injected into a solid mass were loaded onto HLA class I molecules of tumor cells. In a peptide vaccine model and an adoptive cell transfer model using C57BL/6 mice, intratumoral injection of ovalbumin(257-264) peptide (SIINFEKL) was effective for tumor growth inhibition and survival against ovalbumin-negative tumors without adverse reactions. Moreover, we demonstrated an antigen-spreading effect that occurred after intratumoral peptide injection. Intratumoral peptide injection enhances tumor cell antigenicity and may be a useful option for improvement in antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy against solid tumors. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NobuokaDaisuke en-aut-sei=Nobuoka en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshikawaToshiaki en-aut-sei=Yoshikawa en-aut-mei=Toshiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakahashiMari en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Mari kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwamaTatsuaki en-aut-sei=Iwama en-aut-mei=Tatsuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HorieKazutaka en-aut-sei=Horie en-aut-mei=Kazutaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimomuraManami en-aut-sei=Shimomura en-aut-mei=Manami kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiShiro en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Shiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakemuraNoriko en-aut-sei=Sakemura en-aut-mei=Noriko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakatsugawaMunehide en-aut-sei=Nakatsugawa en-aut-mei=Munehide kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakatsuraTetsuya en-aut-sei=Nakatsura en-aut-mei=Tetsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci, Dept Surg Gastroenterol affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci, Dept Surg Gastroenterol affil-num=12 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci, Dept Surg Gastroenterol affil-num=13 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Canc Ctr Hosp East, Res Ctr Innovat Oncol, Div Canc Immunotherapy en-keyword=Intratumoral peptide injection kn-keyword=Intratumoral peptide injection en-keyword=Antigen kn-keyword=Antigen en-keyword=Immunotherapy kn-keyword=Immunotherapy en-keyword=Cytotoxic T lymphocyte kn-keyword=Cytotoxic T lymphocyte END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=67 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=117 end-page=121 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2013 dt-pub=201304 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Living Donor Liver Transplantation to a Survivor of LiverResection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Major Portal Vein Invasion en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We present a case of living donor liver transplantation to a 3-year disease-free survivor of liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with major portal vein invasion. A 48-year-old man had HCC in the right lobe with a portal venous tumor thrombus extending into the left portal vein. An extended right lobectomy with thrombectomy was performed to remove the thrombus. Three years after liver resection, the patient experienced liver failure, with massive ascites and jaundice due to the formation of a thrombus in the main and left portal veins. During the 3 years after liver resection, no metastasis or recurrence of HCC had been detected, and tumor markers had been within normal ranges. The portal venous thrombus did not show any arterial enhancement under contrast-enhanced computed tomography, suggesting that the co-existence of any HCC component in the portal venous thrombus may have been negative. Based on these findings, living donor liver transplantation was performed using a right lobe graft from the patientʼs son. The patient is alive at 87 months after the transplantation, with no evidence of HCC recurrence. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinouraSusumu en-aut-sei=Shinoura en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmedaYuzo en-aut-sei=Umeda en-aut-mei=Yuzo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaRyuichi en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Ryuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoDaisuke en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=NobuokaDaisuke en-aut-sei=Nobuoka en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=UtsumiMasashi en-aut-sei=Utsumi en-aut-mei=Masashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences en-keyword=living donor liver transplantation kn-keyword=living donor liver transplantation en-keyword=hepatocellular carcinoma kn-keyword=hepatocellular carcinoma en-keyword=portal vein invasion kn-keyword=portal vein invasion en-keyword=liver resection kn-keyword=liver resection END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=66 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=177 end-page=182 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=201204 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Resection of Metachronous Lymph Node Metastases from Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Hepatectomy: Report of Four Cases en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We report 4 cases of surgical resection of metachronous lymph node (LN) metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following hepatectomy. Clinicopathological features and results of LN dissection were investigated in the 4 patients. One patient was found to have a single metastasis in the mediastinal LNs, another had multiple metastases in the mediastinal and abdominal LNs, and the other 2 had single metastases in the abdominal LN. The locations of the abdominal LN metastases were behind the pancreas head in 2 patients and around the abdominal aorta in 1 patient. They all underwent surgical resection of metastatic LNs and had no postoperative complications. The 3 patients whose LN metastases were solitary have been alive for more than 2 years after LN resection, and one of them is free from recurrence. The patient with multiple LN metastases died 13 months after LN resection due to carcinomatosis. With the expectation of long-term survival, a single metachronous LN metastasis from HCC after hepatectomy should be resected in patients without uncontrollable intrahepatic or extrahepatic tumors. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=UtsumiMasashi en-aut-sei=Utsumi en-aut-mei=Masashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsudaHiroaki en-aut-sei=Matsuda en-aut-mei=Hiroaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinouraSusumu en-aut-sei=Shinoura en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmedaYuzo en-aut-sei=Umeda en-aut-mei=Yuzo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaRyuichi en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Ryuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatohDaisuke en-aut-sei=Satoh en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HashimotoMasaaki en-aut-sei=Hashimoto en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Surgery, Fukuyama Daiichi Hospital affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate school of Medicine en-keyword=hepatocellular carcinoma kn-keyword=hepatocellular carcinoma en-keyword=lymph node metastasis kn-keyword=lymph node metastasis en-keyword=hepatectomy kn-keyword=hepatectomy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=124 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=59 end-page=62 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=20120401 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Gastric aberrant pancreas with acute pancreatitis treated with surgery kn-title=膵炎を伴った胃異所性膵の1切除例 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We experienced a case of gastric aberrant pancreas with acute pancreatitis.

The patient was a 75-year-old man who had HCC, 13.5 cm in diameter in the right lobe of the liver with multiple intrahepatic metastases around the main tumor and 7 intrahepatic metastases in the left lobe of the liver. The large main tumor and intrahepatic metastases around the main tumor were initially resected by right lobectomy as reduction surgery. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with epirubicin for intrahepatic metastases in the remnant liver was started 1 month after initial hepatectomy and repeated every 3 months. Twelve months after initial hepatectomy, lung metastases appeared, so we started systemic chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP). In addition, we changed epirubicin to CDDP for TACE. Despite this combination therapy, 20 months after the initial hepatectomy, the lung metastases showed an increase in size. We decided to discontinue systemic chemotherapy and administer sorafenib. The patient was alive without progression of intrahepatic metastasis and lung metastasis more than 26 months after the initial hepatectomy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SatohDaisuke en-aut-sei=Satoh en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name=佐藤太祐 kn-aut-sei=佐藤 kn-aut-mei=太祐 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name=八木孝仁 kn-aut-sei=八木 kn-aut-mei=孝仁 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name=貞森裕 kn-aut-sei=貞森 kn-aut-mei=裕 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmedaYuzo en-aut-sei=Umeda en-aut-mei=Yuzo kn-aut-name=楳田祐三 kn-aut-sei=楳田 kn-aut-mei=祐三 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name=藤原俊義 kn-aut-sei=藤原 kn-aut-mei=俊義 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 en-keyword=進行肝細胞癌 (advanced hepatocellular carcinoma) kn-keyword=進行肝細胞癌 (advanced hepatocellular carcinoma) en-keyword=減量手術 (reduction surgery) kn-keyword=減量手術 (reduction surgery) en-keyword=肝動脈塞栓療法 (transcatheter arterial chemoembolization : TACE) kn-keyword=肝動脈塞栓療法 (transcatheter arterial chemoembolization : TACE) en-keyword=ソラフェニブ (sorafenib) kn-keyword=ソラフェニブ (sorafenib) en-keyword=集学的治療 (multidisciplinary treatment) kn-keyword=集学的治療 (multidisciplinary treatment) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=123 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=207 end-page=211 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2011 dt-pub=20111201 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Splenic artery syndrome after living donor liver transplantation with ligation of the splenic artery : A case report kn-title=脾動脈結紮を伴う生体肝移植後に脾動脈症候群を呈した一例 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=After orthotopic liver transplantation, splenic artery syndrome (SAS), a phenomenon by which the main blood flow of the impaired hepatic artery is shifted to the splenic artery or gastroduodenal artery despite the absence of a structural lesion involving the anastomosis, has occasionally been observed. We report a 20-year-old women who developed SAS with pancytopenia and refractory ascites after living donor liver transplantation despite intraoperative ligation of the splenic artery as a prophylactic treatment for SAS. In this case SAS was diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). A celiac trunk angiogram showed relative hypoperfusion of the hepatic artery together with augmentation of the blood flow toward the spleen with the unique collateral circulation through the left gastric artery, stomach and short gastric artery, and distal splenic artery. Embolization of one of the two left gastric arteries was performed. After embolization the hepatic artery perfusion showed significant improvement, but reduced again the next day. We ultimately conducted splenectomy. This case showed portal hyperperfusion and portal hypertension, consistent with previous reports that have described an association of SAS with portal hyperperfusion. After splenectomy, there was significant improvement in the hepatic artery perfusion, ascites disappeared promptly, and pancytopenia was significantly improved. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SatohDaisuke en-aut-sei=Satoh en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name=佐藤太祐 kn-aut-sei=佐藤 kn-aut-mei=太祐 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name=八木孝仁 kn-aut-sei=八木 kn-aut-mei=孝仁 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name=貞森裕 kn-aut-sei=貞森 kn-aut-mei=裕 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsudaHiroaki en-aut-sei=Matsuda en-aut-mei=Hiroaki kn-aut-name=松田浩明 kn-aut-sei=松田 kn-aut-mei=浩明 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinouraSusumu en-aut-sei=Shinoura en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name=篠浦先 kn-aut-sei=篠浦 kn-aut-mei=先 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmedaYuzo en-aut-sei=Umeda en-aut-mei=Yuzo kn-aut-name=楳田祐三 kn-aut-sei=楳田 kn-aut-mei=祐三 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaRyuichi en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Ryuichi kn-aut-name=吉田龍一 kn-aut-sei=吉田 kn-aut-mei=龍一 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=UtsumiTakashi en-aut-sei=Utsumi en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name=内海方嗣 kn-aut-sei=内海 kn-aut-mei=方嗣 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name=藤原俊義 kn-aut-sei=藤原 kn-aut-mei=俊義 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科 消化器外科学 en-keyword=脾動脈症候群 (splenic artery syndrome) kn-keyword=脾動脈症候群 (splenic artery syndrome) en-keyword=脾動脈結紮 (ligation of the splenic artery) kn-keyword=脾動脈結紮 (ligation of the splenic artery) en-keyword=生体肝移植 (living donor liver transplantation) kn-keyword=生体肝移植 (living donor liver transplantation) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=57 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=209 end-page=216 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2003 dt-pub=200310 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Annexin V assay-proven anti-apoptotic effect of ascorbic acid 2-glucoside after cold ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat liver transplantation. en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=

Controversy exists over whether the predominant cell death of hepatocytes is due to apoptosis or necrosis after ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this study we investigated the predominant cell death of hepatocytes after cold ischemia/reperfusion injury using the Annexin V-based assay, and evaluated the anti-apoptotic effect of ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (AA-2G) added to the University of Wisconsin solution (UW solution) in rat liver transplantation. The retrieved liver was preserved in 4 UW solution for 24 h, and then transplanted orthotopically to the syngeneic Wistar recipient. The animals were divided into 2 groups, a control group (n=10), in which liver grafts were preserved in UW solution (4), and an AA-2G group (n=10), in which liver grafts were preserved in UW solution (4) with AA-2G (100 ug/ml). The serum AST level 4 h after reperfusion in the control group was significantly suppressed in the AA-2G group, and the bile production of the liver graft in the AA-2G group was well recovered. The mean survival time in the AA-2G group was significantly improved compared with that in the control group. Annexin-V and Propidium iodide staining 4 h after reperfusion showed a significantly higher percentage of viable hepatocytes in the AA-2G group compared with the control group (93.4 +/- 2.0 vs. 80.3 +- 2.1%, P<0.05). In the control group, the main cell death of hepatocytes was apoptosis (early apoptosis: 10.0 +- 4.7%, late apoptosis: 6.4 +/- 1.7%). The addition of AA-2G to the UW solution significantly inhibited both early and late apoptotic cell death 4 h after reperfusion (early apoptosis: 0.98 +/- 0.88%, late apoptosis: 2.2 +/- 1.1%). The expression of caspase 9 in the immunostaining of the liver graft was suppressed in the AA-2G group compared with in the control group. Our study using the Annexin V-based assay provided evidence that the predominant cell death of hepatocytes was apoptosis after 24 h cold ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat liver transplantation. The addition of AA-2G to the UW solution attenuated 24 h cold ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting the apoptosis of hepatocytes.

Tacrolimus (FK-506) and cyclosporin A (CsA) are calcineurin antagonists used widely as T-cell immunosuppressants; however, their relative efficacy on the production of interleukin-18 (IL-18) remains undefined. We have examined the effects of FK-506 and CsA on the cytokine generation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We studied the levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18), IL-12, IL-10, IL-6, IL-2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in the supernatant in allo-MLR by ELISA assay. Supernatant levels of IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12 were detected 12 h after MLR and markedly increased thereafter. In contrast, production of IL-18 was detected at 12 h, reached a near maximum level at 24 h and decreased at 72 h. These results suggested that IFN-gamma production depended on IL-18, IL-12 and IL-2 in the early phase of MLR and depended mainly on IL-12 and IL-2 in the late phase. Both calcineurin antagonists inhibit the generation of IL-18, which plays a large role in allogeneic cell interactions, in macrophages and they also promote an equivalent down-regulation of T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 responses in a concentration-dependent manner. About 90% of IFN-gamma production induced by MLR was inhibited by an anti-IL-18 antibody, showing that IL-18 can trigger IFN-gamma production in MLR. These results suggest that dual signaling consisting of antigen-driven nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) activation and LPS-mediated NF-kappaB activation is crucial for IL-18 production in macrophages, and that IL-18 can trigger IFN-gamma production in T-cells by MLR.

She had a 13-years history of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). The preoperative 1-year survival rate and mortality after 6 months were calculated to be 6.5% and 99.3%, respectively. The graft included left bisegments weighing 435g, and was equal to 43% of the calculated standard liver volume. Massive ascites were sustained due to accompanied portal hypertension. On Postoperative day 7, she manifested massive tarry stool by portal-hypertensive colonopathy. The CT scan revealed a right subphrenic abscess on the postoparative day 14. After drainage of the abscess, the serum total billirubin level decreased to the norman range. She was descharged with extracorptreal tube dainage. On the postoperative day 169, she was readmitted due to acute elevation of the serum bilirubin level. Echography revealed selective dilatation of the hepatic bile duct in the segment 2, and suggested the presence of insufficiency of hepatico-jejunostomy in the early postoperative phase. Despite emergent PTCD, jaundice was sustained and responded poorly to steroid pulse therapy. According to tapering of oral prednisolone, the serum bilirubin level gradually decreased and reached a the plateau between 2 and 4mg/dl. The patient is currently completely free from oral steroid therapy and in receiving interventional hepaticoplasty using the YAG laser system. We concluded that living related liver transplantation is an effective transplantational option for adult end-stage liver disease. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YagiTakahito en-aut-sei=Yagi en-aut-mei=Takahito kn-aut-name=八木孝仁 kn-aut-sei=八木 kn-aut-mei=孝仁 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=UrushiharaNaoto en-aut-sei=Urushihara en-aut-mei=Naoto kn-aut-name=漆原直人 kn-aut-sei=漆原 kn-aut-mei=直人 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OishiMasahiro en-aut-sei=Oishi en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name=大石正博 kn-aut-sei=大石 kn-aut-mei=正博 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsukawaHiroyoshi en-aut-sei=Matsukawa en-aut-mei=Hiroyoshi kn-aut-name=松川啓義 kn-aut-sei=松川 kn-aut-mei=啓義 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=藤原俊哉 kn-aut-sei=藤原 kn-aut-mei=俊哉 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=松野剛 kn-aut-sei=松野 kn-aut-mei=剛 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriMasanobu en-aut-sei=Mori en-aut-mei=Masanobu kn-aut-name=森雅信 kn-aut-sei=森 kn-aut-mei=雅信 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsugeHiromu en-aut-sei=Tsuge en-aut-mei=Hiromu kn-aut-name=津下宏 kn-aut-sei=津下 kn-aut-mei=宏 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakakuraNorihisa en-aut-sei=Takakura en-aut-mei=Norihisa kn-aut-name=高倉範尚 kn-aut-sei=高倉 kn-aut-mei=範尚 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaNoriaki en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Noriaki kn-aut-name=田中紀章 kn-aut-sei=田中 kn-aut-mei=紀章 aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=HigashiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Higashi en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name=東俊宏 kn-aut-sei=東 kn-aut-mei=俊宏 aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsujiTakao en-aut-sei=Tsuji en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name=辻孝夫 kn-aut-sei=辻 kn-aut-mei=孝夫 aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=InagakiMasaru en-aut-sei=Inagaki en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name=稲垣優 kn-aut-sei=稲垣 kn-aut-mei=優 aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadamoriHiroshi en-aut-sei=Sadamori en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name=貞森裕 kn-aut-sei=貞森 kn-aut-mei=裕 aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamikawaYasuaki en-aut-sei=Kamikawa en-aut-mei=Yasuaki kn-aut-name=上川康明 kn-aut-sei=上川 kn-aut-mei=康明 aut-affil-num=15 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学外科学第一講座 affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学内科学第一講座 affil-num=12 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学内科学第一講座 affil-num=13 en-affil= kn-affil=高知県立中央病院外科 affil-num=14 en-affil= kn-affil=福山市民病院 affil-num=15 en-affil= kn-affil=三原赤十字病院 en-keyword=living related kn-keyword=living related en-keyword=liver transplantation kn-keyword=liver transplantation en-keyword=primary biliary cirrhosis kn-keyword=primary biliary cirrhosis en-keyword=adult kn-keyword=adult END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1996 dt-pub=19960325 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=ブタにおけるドナー栄養状態及び栄養投与が肝移植成績に及ぼす影響 kn-title=The Effects of Nutritional Repletion on Donors for Liver Transplantation in Pigs en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=貞森裕 kn-aut-sei=貞森 kn-aut-mei=裕 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 END
