(Summary) The purpose of this study is the assessment of gel technology based on a lauroyl derivative of gemcitabine encapsulated in lipid nanocapsules delivered subcutaneously or intravenously after dilution to (i) target lymph nodes, (ii) induce less systemic toxicity and (iii) combat mediastinal metastases from an orthotopic model of human, squamous, non-small-cell lung cancer Ma44-3 cells implanted in severe combined immunodeficiency mice. The gel technology mainly targeted lymph nodes as revealed by the biodistribution study. Moreover, the gel technology induced no significant myelosuppression (platelet count) in comparison with the control saline group, unlike the conventional intravenous gemcitabine hydrochloride treated group (P<0.05). Besides, the gel technology, delivered subcutaneously twice a week, was able to combat locally mediastinal metastases from the orthotopic lung tumor and to significantly delay death (P<0.05) as was the diluted gel technology delivered intravenously three times a week. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. A significant proportion of patients with this disease have lymph node metastasis. In this study, the authors investigated the use of lipid nanocapsules, loaded with the lipophilic pro-drug gemcitabine for targeting tumors in lymph nodes after subcutaneous injection. This delivery method was shown to be effective in controlling tumor progression and may be useful in future clinical use.

T Mizuno, M Okumura, H Asamura, K Yoshida, H Niwa, Kazuya Kondo, H Horio, A Matsumura and K Yokoi : Surgical management of recurrent thymic epithelial tumors: a retrospective analysis based on the Japanese nationwide database., Jan. 2015. (Summary) There is no standard treatment for recurrent thymic epithelial tumors. Although the efficacy has not been validated based on the large series studies, surgical resection is sometimes employed for patients with recurrent thymic tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes for recurrent thymic epithelial tumors based on the Japanese nationwide database. From the database of patients whose thymic epithelial tumors were treated surgically from 1991 through 2010, the cohort who developed recurrence after the initial resection was extracted. Clinicopathological factors were reviewed, and the prognostic factors of re-resected cases were examined. Twenty-eight hundred thirty-five patients who underwent surgical resection of thymic epithelial tumors were registered to the database. Among these patients, 420 (14.8%) experienced recurrence. One hundred sixty-two patients were treated surgically and 243 were treated nonsurgically for recurrent disease. The 5- and 10-year postrecurrence survival rates were 82.7% and 68.2%, respectively, in the surgery group and 43.5% and 25.4%, respectively, in the nonsurgery group (p < 0.001). According to univariate analyses, female sex and the pathological Masaoka I-II stage, nonthymic carcinoma, absence of preoperative treatment and longer recurrent-free interval (RFI) were significantly favorable factors for survival in the surgery group. According to the multivariate analysis, nonthymic carcinoma histology and longer RFI were identified to be independent prognostic factors. The surgical outcomes of recurrent thymic epithelial tumors are favorable in selected patients. The role of re-resection may be limited in the setting of thymic carcinoma and/or a short RFI.

D Kim, J Dai, LY Fai, H Yao, YO Son, L Wang, P Pratheeshkumar, Kazuya Kondo, X Shi and Z Zhang : Constitutive activation of epidermal growth factor receptor promotes tumorigenesis of Cr(VI)-transformed cells through decreased reactive oxygen species and apoptosis resistance development., 2015. (Summary) Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) compounds are well-established lung carcinogens. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor that regulates cell survival, tumor invasion, and angiogenesis. Our results show that chronic exposure of human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells to Cr(VI) is able to cause malignant cell transformation. These transformed cells exhibit apoptosis resistance with reduced poly ADP-ribose polymerase cleavage (C-PARP) and Bax expression and enhanced expressions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. These transformed cells also exhibit reduced capacity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation along with elevated expression of antioxidant manganese superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). The expression of this antioxidant was also elevated in lung tumor tissue from a worker exposed to Cr(VI) for 19 years. EGFR was activated in Cr(VI)-transformed BEAS-2B cells, lung tissue from animals exposed to Cr(VI) particles, and human lung tumor tissue. Further study indicates that constitutive activation of EGFR in Cr(VI)-transformed cells was due to increased binding to its ligand amphiregulin (AREG). Inhibition of EGFR or AREG increased Bax expression and reduced Bcl-2 expression, resulting in reduced apoptosis resistance. Furthermore, inhibition of AREG or EGFR restored capacity of ROS generation and decreased SOD2 expression. PI3K/AKT was activated, which depended on EGFR in Cr(VI)-transformed BEAS-2B cells. Inhibition of PI3K/AKT increased ROS generation and reduced SOD2 expression, resulting in reduced apoptosis resistance with commitment increase in Bax expression and reduction of Bcl-2 expression. Xenograft mouse tumor study further demonstrates the essential role of EGFR in tumorigenesis of Cr(VI)-transformed cells. In summary, the present study suggests that ligand-dependent constitutive activation of EGFR causes reduced ROS generation and increased antioxidant expression, leading to development of apoptosis resistance, contributing to Cr(VI)-induced tumorigenesis.

(Summary) A universal and consistent stage classification system, which describes the anatomic extent of a cancer, provides a foundation for communication and collaboration. Thymic epithelial malignancies have seen little progress, in part because of the lack of an official system. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the International Thymic Malignancies Interest Group assembled a large retrospective database, a multispecialty international committee and carried out extensive analysis to develop proposals for the 8th edition of the stage classification manuals. This tumor, node, metastasis (TNM)-based system is applicable to all types of thymic epithelial malignancies. This article summarizes the proposed definitions of the T, N, and M components and describes how these are combined into stage groups. This represents a major step forward for thymic malignancies.

(Summary) Despite longstanding recognition of thymic epithelial neoplasms, there is no official American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control stage classification. This article summarizes proposals for classification of the T component of stage classification for use in the 8th edition of the tumor, node, metastasis classification for malignant tumors. This represents the output of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the International Thymic Malignancies Interest Group Staging and Prognostics Factor Committee, which assembled and analyzed a worldwide database of 10,808 patients with thymic malignancies from 105 sites. The committee proposes division of the T component into four categories, representing levels of invasion. T1 includes tumors localized to the thymus and anterior mediastinal fat, regardless of capsular invasion, up to and including infiltration through the mediastinal pleura. Invasion of the pericardium is designated as T2. T3 includes tumors with direct involvement of a group of mediastinal structures either singly or in combination: lung, brachiocephalic vein, superior vena cava, chest wall, and phrenic nerve. Invasion of more central structures constitutes T4: aorta and arch vessels, intrapericardial pulmonary artery, myocardium, trachea, and esophagus. Size did not emerge as a useful descriptor for stage classification. This classification of T categories, combined with a classification of N and M categories, provides a basis for a robust tumor, node, metastasis classification system for the 8th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control stage classification.

(Summary) Stage classification is an important underpinning of management of patients with cancer, and rests on a combination of three components: T for tumor extent, N for nodal involvement, and M for more distant metastases. This article details an initiative to develop proposals for the first official stage classification system for thymic malignancies for the 8th edition of the stage classification manuals. Specifically, the results of analysis of a large database and the considerations leading to the proposed N and M components are described. Nodal involvement is divided into an anterior (N1) and a deep (N2) category. Metastases can involve pleural or pericardial nodules (M1a) or intraparenchymal pulmonary nodules or metastases to distant sites (M1b).

(Summary) Although the presence of nodal disease is prognostic in thymic malignancy, the significance of the extent of nodal disease has yet to be defined. Lymph node dissection has not been routinely performed, and there is currently no node map defined for thymic malignancy. To establish a universal language for reporting as well as characterize the staging of this disease more accurately, an empiric node map is proposed here. This was developed using prior classification systems, series reporting specifics of nodal involvement, anatomical studies of lymphatic drainage, and preexisting node maps of the chest as defined by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the neck as defined by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the American Society for Head and Neck Surgery. The development of this node map was a joint effort by the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group and the Thymic Domain of the IASLC Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee. It was reviewed and subsequently approved by the members of ITMIG. This map will be used as an adjunct to define node staging as part of a universal stage classification for thymic malignancy. As more data are gathered using definitions set forth by this node map, a revision may be undertaken in the future.

8.	Kazuya Kondo : Therapy for thymic epithelial tumors, Jun. 2014. (Summary) Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. This tumor is associated with unique paraneoplastic syndromes. The rarity of this tumor has somewhat obscured the optimal treatment for this disease. The World Health Organization classification system, which published in 1999, appears to be an advance in our understanding of thymoma. The Masaoka classification is now the most widely accepted and is an excellent predictor of the prognosis of thymoma. Now the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group is currently engaged in the development of a validated formal TNM classification system for thymic malignancies. The optimal treatment of thymoma is performed according to its clinical stage. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for thymic epithelial tumors. Minimally invasive surgery including thoracoscopic surgery and robotic surgery for stage I and II thymomas is increasing now. The value of postoperative radiotherapy in completely resected stage II or III tumors is questionable. As thymomas have a moderate response rate to chemotherapy or radiotherapy, multimodality therapy involving surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy appears to increase the rate of complete resection and survival in the advanced (stage III and IV) thymomas.

Batkhishig Munkhjargal, Kazuya Kondo, Shiho Soejima, Bilguun Tegshee, Michiko Yamashita, Naoya Kawakita, Hiroaki Toba and Hiromitsu Takizawa : DNA methylation and mRNA expression of ZNF577 as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma., Oncology Reports, Vol.52, No.4, 2024. (Summary) Despite advances in science and technology, lung cancer remains a major public health issue. The discovery of early diagnostic and prognostic markers is still needed to reduce the mortality rate of lung cancer, which is the highest among all cancer types. Aberrations in the DNA methylation system have an important role in human cancer and are promising for the development of early diagnostic and prognostic markers. The present study focused on zinc finger protein (ZNF)577, whose encoding gene was indicated to exhibit promoter hypermethylation together with 9 other genes in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) in a previous study by our group. ZN577 is a member of the ZNG family and its functional role has so far remained elusive. LADC tissue samples surgically resected at Tokushima University Hospital (Tokushima, Japan) between April 1999 and November 2013 were collected. A total of 73 tumors and 27 paired tumor-adjacent normal tissues were examined for DNA methylation and mRNA expression of ZNF577. A total of 149 LADC tissue samples were collected and evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the tissue expression of ZNF577. High methylation (n=27, P<0.0001) and low mRNA expression levels (n=27, P<0.031) of ZNF577 were identified in LADC tissues, and it was demonstrated that methylation levels were inversely correlated with mRNA expression levels (P=0.0116, ϱ=-0.2515). Among the LADC tissues, lepidic-patterned samples had lower methylation levels of ZNF577 than other pathological types. In addition, mRNA expression levels of ZNF577 were significantly higher in females, non-smokers and stage I samples. Overall survival [P<0.0001; area under curve (AUC)=0.8658] and disease-free survival (DFS; P<0.0004; AUC=0.7232) rates were significantly higher in the ZNF577 high mRNA expression group than in the ZNF577 low mRNA expression group. Among the 149 LADC samples examined by IHC, 105 were negative and 44 were positive for the tissue expression of ZNF577. Cox regression analysis showed poorer DFS (hazard ratio: 3.917; P=0.023) in patients with lower expression of ZNF577. In conclusion, higher methylation levels of ZNF577 were observed in LADC tissues than in normal lung tissue and low mRNA expression of ZNF577 was associated with unfavorable prognosis.

2.	Wise T F James and Kazuya Kondo : Increased Lipogenesis Is Important for Hexavalent Chromium-Transformed Lung Cells and Xenograft Tumor Growth, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol.24, No.23, 17060, 2023. (Summary) Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), is a known carcinogen and environmental health concern. It has been established that reactive oxygen species, genomic instability, and DNA damage repair deficiency are important contributors to the Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenesis mechanism. However, some hallmarks of cancer remain under-researched regarding the mechanism behind Cr(VI)-induced carcinogenesis. Increased lipogenesis is important to carcinogenesis and tumorigenesis in multiple types of cancers, yet the role increased lipogenesis has in Cr(VI) carcinogenesis is unclear. We report here that Cr(VI)-induced transformation of three human lung cell lines (BEAS-2B, BEP2D, and WTHBF-6) resulted in increased lipogenesis (palmitic acid levels), and Cr(VI)-transformed cells had an increased expression of key lipogenesis proteins (ATP citrate lyase [ACLY], acetyl-CoA carboxylase [ACC1], and fatty acid synthase [FASN]). We also determined that the Cr(VI)-transformed cells did not exhibit an increase in fatty acid oxidation or lipid droplets compared to their passage-matched control cells. Additionally, we observed increases in ACLY, ACC1, and FASN in lung tumor tissue compared with normal-adjacent lung tissue (in chromate workers that died of chromate-induced tumors). Next, using a known FASN inhibitor (C75), we treated Cr(VI)-transformed BEAS-2B with this inhibitor and measured cell growth, FASN protein expression, and growth in soft agar. We observed that FASN inhibition results in a decreased protein expression, decreased cell growth, and the inhibition of colony growth in soft agar. Next, using shRNA to knock down the FASN protein in Cr(VI)-transformed BEAS-2B cells, we saw a decrease in FASN protein expression and a loss of the xenograft tumor development of Cr(VI)-transformed BEAS-2B cells. These results demonstrate that FASN is important for Cr(VI)-transformed cell growth and cancer properties. In conclusion, these data show that Cr(VI)-transformation in vitro caused an increase in lipogenesis, and that this increase is vital for Cr(VI)-transformed cells.

(Summary) This study investigated the usefulness of [18F]-3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging for predicting the therapeutic efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) irradiation at an early stage after radiation treatment. Mice were xenografted with the human lung adenocarcinoma line A549 or large cell lung cancer line FT821. Tumour uptake of 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG was imaged using PET/CT before and 1 week after irradiation. In A549 tumours, 18F-FLT uptake was significantly decreased, and 18F-FDG uptake was unchanged post-irradiation compared with pre-irradiation. In FT821 tumours, uptake of both 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG uptake was substantially decreased post-irradiation compared with pre-irradiation. In both xenografts, tumour volumes in the irradiated groups were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group. 18F-FLT is expected to contribute to individual NSCLC therapy because it accurately evaluates the decrease in tumour activity that cannot be captured by 18F-FDG. 18F-FDG may be useful for evaluating surviving cells without being affected by the inflammatory reaction at an extremely early stage, approximately 1 week after irradiation. Combined use of 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging may increase the accurate prediction of radiotherapy efficacy, which may lead to improved patient outcomes and minimally invasive personalised therapy.

(Summary) Patients with lung cancer generally undergo minimally invasive surgery, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study examined the changes in health conditions and symptoms of patients with lung cancer using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) C-30 questionnaires after surgery. This was a longitudinal descriptive study. One hundred and three patients with lung cancer who underwent lung resection at Tokushima University Hospital between 2012 and 2021 were eligible. They completed EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-LC13, the Cancer Dyspnea scale (CDS), and pulmonary-ADL (P-ADL) before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Regarding functional scale scores, impairments in physical and role functions persisted for 6 months after surgery. In symptom scale scores, fatigue, pain, dyspnea, and appetite loss continued for 6 months after surgery. In CDS, sense of effort, discomfort, and total dyspnea scale scores were elevated for 6 months after surgery. In P-ADL, most ADL were impaired 1 month after surgery, but recovered by 3 months. The dyspnea index of ADL was lower for 6 months after surgery. Impairments in health conditions and symptoms persisted for 6 months after surgery despite its minimally invasive nature. J. Med.

(Summary) We previously performed the genome-wide screening of aberrantly methylated CpG islands (CGIs) using the paired tumorous and non-tumorous tissues of 12 lung adenocarcinomas (LADC). In comparisons with paired normal lung tissues, dipeptidyl peptidase-like 6 () has been identified as the most significantly hypermethylated CGI in LADC. is a protein that modulates A-type potassium channels in the somatodendritic compartments of neurons, which play a role in synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have showed that is downregulated in cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia and melanoma, but upregulated in colon cancer, which is attributed to hyper- and hypomethylation, respectively. The present study investigated the methylation and expression levels of and its prognostic value in patients with LADC. The DNA methylation and mRNA expression levels of in surgically resected LADC tissues were examined by bisulfite pyrosequencing and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, respectively. The DNA methylation and mRNA expression levels of were both significantly higher in LADC tissues compared with in normal lung tissues (n=25; P<0.0001). Overall and disease-free survival rates were significantly higher in LADC with high mRNA expression levels compared with those with low levels. In conclusion, epigenetic alterations in were significantly higher in LADC tissues compared with in normal lung tissues, which may contribute to the malignant features and worse prognosis of these patients.

(Summary) Multimodal transbronchial biopsy (TBB) may have improved diagnostic yield for peripheral pulmonary lesions suspected as lung cancer. Radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) provides real-time imaging and confirmation of the location of the lesions. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can confirm that the forceps tip has reached the lesion before biopsy. Patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions and a positive computed tomography (CT) bronchus sign (based on slice thickness of 1 mm) were prospectively enrolled. An ultrathin bronchoscope (UTB) and R-EBUS probe were advanced to the target bronchus. Thereafter, forceps were advanced, and CBCT was performed. R-EBUS was performed for re-navigation, if possible. The obtained EBUS and CBCT images were classified into "within" (type 1), "adjacent to" (type 2), or "far from" (type 3), based on the probe or forceps tip. For 20 lesions, the diagnostic yield was 85%. The primary EBUS images were of types 1, 2, and 3 in 12, 6, and 2 cases, respectively. The primary CBCT images were of types 1, 2, and 3 in 12, 6, and 2 cases, respectively. Primary EBUS and CBCT image types were equivalent in 14 cases. Of the 12 cases with type 1 primary EBUS image, 9 cases had a type 1 primary CBCT image, while 3 cases exhibited positional misalignment of the forceps tip. Re-navigation was required in 8 cases with types 2 and 3 primary CBCT images. CBCT-guided TBB using an UTB and EBUS may enable real-time positioning guidance and better re-navigation in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions.

(Summary) Cancer is a serious threat to human health worldwide. Attention to the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients is increasingly recognized as an important component of and a fundamental task in cancer care. Recent studies illustrate that resilience is a key biological factor affecting cancer patients' health status and QoL. However, few studies have focused on resilience during medical procedures of cancer patients from the perspective of nursing. In this study, we summarize recent literature exploring the clinical significance of resilience in oncology nursing, propose strategies for cancer care to improve the QoL of patients through interventions on resilience, and focus on emerging theories in oncology nursing. In summary, this will emphasize the importance of resilience in oncology nursing and benefit the clinical practices that improve patients' QoL and reduce the social burden caused by cancer. J. Med.

(Summary) The purpose of study was to clarify the psychological adjustment and related factors in lung cancer patients with recurrence/metastasis after curative surgery. Forty-one with lung cancer who were informed of a recurrence/metastasis after curative surgery completed a questionnaire comprised of the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MAC), Psychological Adjustment scale for Cancer Survivors (PACS), and information pertaining to demographic variables. When healthcare providers intervene in patients with lung cancer that has recurred/metastasized after curative surgery, it is necessary to assess patients' psychological adjustment based on demographic information, such as age, sex, marital status, and employment status, and to provide effective support promptly. Factors associated with psychological adjustment with recurrent/metastatic lung cancer after curative surgery were 1) female, 2) having a job, 3) over 65 years of age, 4) having a spouse, and 5) advanced-stage cancer. There was no difference in psychological adjustment between treatment and the period from cancer incidence to recurrence/metastatic. J. Med. Invest. 70 : 200-207, February, 2023.

(Summary) Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a common environmental pollutant and chronic exposure to Cr(VI) causes lung cancer and other types of cancer in humans, although the mechanism of Cr(VI) carcinogenesis remains elusive. Cr(VI) has been considered as a genotoxic carcinogen, but accumulating evidence indicates that Cr(VI) also causes various epigenetic toxic effects that play important roles in Cr(VI) carcinogenesis. However, it is not clear how Cr(VI)-caused epigenetic dysregulations contributes to Cr(VI) carcinogenesis. This study investigates whether Cr(VI) epigenetic toxic effect has an impact on its genotoxic effect. It was found that chronic low dose of Cr(VI) exposure time-dependently down-regulates the expression of a critical DNA damage repair protein O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), leading to the increases of the levels of the highly mutagenic and carcinogenic DNA lesion O-methylguanine (O-MeG) in human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells. Moreover, the levels of MGMT and O-MeG in chronic Cr(VI) exposure-caused human lung cancer tissues are also significantly lower and higher than that in the adjacent normal lung tissues, respectively. It was further determined that chronic low dose of Cr(VI) exposure-transformed BEAS-2B cells display impaired DNA damage repair capacity and a high sensitivity to the toxicity of the alkylating chemotherapeutic drug Temozolomide. In contrast, stably overexpressing MGMT in parental BEAS-2B cells reverses chronic low dose of Cr(VI) exposure-caused DNA damage repair deficiency and significantly reduces cell transformation by Cr(VI). Further mechanistical studies revealed that chronic low dose of Cr(VI) exposure down-regulates MGMT expression through epigenetic mechanisms by increasing DNA methylation and histone H3 repressive modifications. Taken together, these findings suggest that epigenetic down-regulation of a crucial DNA damage repair protein MGMT contributes significantly to the genotoxic effect and cell transformation caused by chronic low dose of Cr(VI) exposure.

(Summary) This study was conducted to verify the optimal extent of lymph node dissection or sampling during lung cancer surgery based on the sentinel node (SN) map created by computed tomography (CT) lymphography. From April 2010 to January 2015, patients with clinical stage I non-small-cell lung cancer, who were candidates for lobectomy or segmentectomy with standard hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection, and in whom bronchus reached the tumour, were enrolled. An ultrathin bronchoscope was inserted to the target bronchus under the guidance of virtual bronchoscopic navigation images. CT images of the chest were obtained 30 s after 2.5 ml of iopamidol was injected. SNs were identified when the maximum CT attenuation value of the lymph nodes on postcontrast CT images increased by 30 Hounsfield units or more compared with the precontrast images. Patients underwent lobectomy with standard lymph node dissection. SNs were identified in 36 (87.8%) of the 41 patients. The average number of SNs was 1.6 (range, 1-4). There was 1 false negative case; therefore, the accuracy of SN identification was 97.2% (35/36). In 5 (13.9%) of 36 patients, SNs were outside the lobe-specific lymph node station range (#11i from right S1, #7 from right S1, #4R from right S8, #12u from right S8, #7 and #12l from left S1 + 2). CT lymphography demonstrated the diversity of lymphatic spreading patterns and there were cases in which lymph flows are found outside the lymph node dissection range.

(Summary) Our previous study reported that the DNA methylation of growth hormone secretagogue receptor () was significantly higher in thymoma or thymic carcinoma (TC) than in normal thymic tissue samples. Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) with higher DNA methylation were associated with significantly worse prognosis than those with lower levels of DNA methylation. Diversified components of the ghrelin- axis may exert opposing effects in cancer progression, depending on the cancer type in question. However, the precise function of the axis remains unclear. In the present study, the mRNA expression of five key components of the ghrelin system [native ligand ghrelin, variant ligand In-1 ghrelin, native receptor GHSR1a, variant receptor GHSR1b and acylation enzyme ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT)] were examined in 58 TET samples by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and protein expression of GHSR1a and GHSR1b was assessed in 20 TETs using immunohistochemistry. The results revealed that In-1 ghrelin, GHSR1b (variant forms) and GOAT were more strongly expressed in thymoma compared with thymic-adjacent tissue. By contrast, no significant differences were observed in the expression of ghrelin and GHSR1a (native forms) between thymoma and thymic tissue. The mRNA expression of In-1 ghrelin and GHSR1b (variant forms) was positively associated with methylation in thymoma tissue samples. However, a relationship was not found between ghrelin, GHSR1a or GOAT expression (native forms) and methylation in thymoma. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that mRNA expression of GHSR1a and GHSR1b generally correlated with expression of the corresponding protein, and that the expression of GHSR1b was increased in advanced-stage TETs. These results indicate that the DNA methylation of is associated with a shift from native expression (ghrelin and GHSR1a) to variant expression (In-1 ghrelin and GHSR1b), which induces the tumorigenesis of thymoma, but not TC.

(Summary) In this study, the authors clarified experience of nurses with the dilemma toward the wish for recovery of cancer patients who discontinued treatment. An interview survey was performed for 14 nurses who had ever care cancer patients who discontinued their treatment. Experience of nurses with the dilemma toward the wish for recovery of cancer patients who discontinued treatment consisted of the following categories ;[ I am not able to respond to the patient's wish though I want to],[There is difference how to spend the time remained between the patient and me],[I do not have a sufficient power to support the end of the patient's life],[I feel disconsolate being unable to realize the patient's wish for recover]and[I'm a nurse. I never run from my patients]. The nurses with dilemma had experience in facing nursing cares driven by the sense of responsibility as a nurse while holding pain in their heart. Ethical problems may be underlying in this experience, and the need of team work, not individual responses, has been suggested. Therefore, support to reveal experience of nurses in daily nursing care is needed.

(Summary) The present study investigated whether highly vascularized bronchial arteries affect the intraoperative blood loss and the operative time of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We retrospectively collected data on consecutive pathological stage I to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent VATS lobectomy with systematic lymph node dissection between January 2017 and December 2019. Patients were divided into the following two groups according to bronchial artery diameters on preoperative enhanced contrast computed tomography (CT) findings: ≤2 and >2 mm groups. Among the 175 patients enrolled, risk factors for intraoperative blood loss >50 mL were being male (P=0.005), a history of smoking (P=0.01), percent forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1.0%) <70% (P=0.012), squamous cell carcinoma (P=0.049), and a bronchial artery diameter >2.0 mm (P<0.001) in the unadjusted analysis, and a bronchial artery diameter >2.0 mm (P<0.001) in the multivariable analysis. Risk factors for an operative time >200 min were being male (P<0.001), a history of smoking (P=0.007), FEV1.0% <70% (P=0.011), squamous cell carcinoma (P=0.046), a bronchial artery diameter >2.0 mm (P<0.001), and experience of surgeon <10 years (P=0.011) in the unadjusted analysis, and being male (P=0.047), a bronchial artery diameter >2.0 mm (P=0.024), and experience of surgeon <10 years (P=0.047) in the multivariable analysis. Bronchial artery diameter was the most important risk factor of intraoperative bleeding and prolonged operative time during VATS lobectomy.

(Summary) Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in lung cancer is a significant prognostic factor; however, it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively or intraoperatively. In this study, we examined the possibility of intraoperative diagnosis of VPI using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE). Among patients with primary lung cancer who underwent surgery between April 2018 and August 2019, those in whom the tumor was in contact with the pleura on chest computed tomography and whose pleural changes were intraoperatively confirmed were enrolled in this study. In the 35 patients who underwent lung resection (6 cases with visceral pleural infiltration), the area where pleural change was noted was observed and a short video was recorded using CLE. Based on the video images, three evaluators determined the defect ratio (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of the autofluorescence-positive structure. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance for VPI. In 15 cases (3 cases with VPI), a validation study was performed for intraoperative VPI according to the cutoff value of the defect ratio of the autofluorescence-positive structure. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the defect ratio of the autofluorescence-positive structure were 0.86-0.91 for the three readers. Using defect ratio of autofluorescence-positive structure cutoff of ≥50% as predictor of VPI, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 83.3-100.0%, 57.7-73.1%, 35.3-41.7%, 95.0-100.0%, and 75.0-78.1%, respectively, for the three readers. In the validation study, the sensitivity was 100%, the specificity was 83.3%, and the diagnostic accuracy rate was 86.7%. The diagnosis of VPI through CLE is simple, non-invasive, and has high diagnostic accuracy rates. This method may be applicable for determining surgical procedures.

(Summary) The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of a new upper limb fixation method-body pillow position for preventing postoperative ipsilateral shoulder pain (ISP) in patients undergoing lung resection. An experimental study design was used. We conducted two comparisons (group A: the previous position using the arm fixation device; group B: the body pillow position) at random and examined an arm fixation method that is effective for ISP prophylaxis in patients undergoing surgery in the lateral decubitus position. We approached 87 patients, two were excluded, and, thus, 85 were randomly assigned to group A (n = 43) or group B (n = 42). No significant differences were observed in the frequency of ISP between groups A and B (25.6% vs 26.2%). The intensity of ISP between both groups was analyzed by a repeated-measures analysis of variance and was shown to decrease over time in 22 patients (P = .010). The intensity of ISP on postoperative days 0 to 3 was slightly lower in group B than in group A (P = .158). Risk factors for ISP were the duration of surgery (odds ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.00 to 1.01) and pre-existing shoulder stiffness (odds ratio, 5.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.07 to 24.83). There was no significance in the frequency of ISP between group A and group B. The intensity of ISP on postoperative days 0 to 3 was lower in group B than in group A, although there was no significant difference. It is important perspective for perioperative care providers to prevent ISP for early postoperative recovery and improvement of postoperative quality of life. These results suggested that we must consider a better position for preventing postoperative ISP in patients undergoing lung resection.

(Summary) To clarify the practical approaches of nurses in cancer chemotherapy, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 nurses certified for cancer chemotherapy in Tokushima Prefecture. The interview data were classified into the following categories : [not neglecting any step, as failure is unacceptable], [accurately predicting the symptoms of chemotherapy, rather than simply waiting for patients to report them], [making efforts to fulfill patients' desire to live], [bearing a heavy responsibility for handling toxic drugs], and [playing a role in generalizing chemotherapy]. The results suggest that the practical approaches of nurses in cancer chemotherapy three features place importance on "achieving positive effects while minimizing risks", "not narrowing down the scope of life", and "reducing resistance to chemotherapy".

(Summary) The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in nursing students' assessments of the 10 powers of self-care agency in Gerontological Nursing and to identify educational support for students. The subjects were the practice records of 66 third-year nursing students who completed Gerontological Nursing from September 2019 to February 2020. The results showed that they had a perspective of directing their attention to the patient's interest, will, motivation, and reasoning among 10 power items that all students were able to assess, and that they approached their care with a respectful attitude toward the patient's perceptions and intentions for self-care. In addition, it could be inferred that they understood self-care in terms of patients' behaviors and activities by appearance. Conversely, from the items that more than half of the students were unable to assess, it could be inferred that they were unable to assess how to apply self-care agency to the patient's prospect and lives in future.

(Summary) Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) comprise thymomas and thymic carcinoma (TC). TC has more aggressive features and a poorer prognosis than thymomas. Genetic and epigenetic alterations in thymomas and TC have been investigated in an attempt to identify novel target molecules for TC. In the present study, genome-wide screening was performed on aberrantly methylated CpG islands in thymomas and TC, and the glutamate decarboxylase 1 gene () was identified as the 4th significantly hypermethylated CpG island in TC compared with thymomas. catalyzes the production of γ-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. expression is abundant in the brain but rare in other tissues, including the thymus. A total of 73 thymomas and 17 TC tissues were obtained from 90 patients who underwent surgery or biopsy at Tokushima University Hospital between 1990 and 2017. DNA methylation was examined by bisulfite pyrosequencing, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The DNA methylation levels of were significantly higher in TC tissues than in the normal thymus and thymoma tissues, and methylation exhibited high sensitivity and specificity for discriminating between TC and thymoma. The mRNA and protein expression levels of were significantly higher in TC tissues than in thymomas. Patients with TET with high DNA hypermethylation and high mRNA and protein expression levels had significantly shorter relapse-free survival rates than those with low levels. In conclusion, significantly more epigenetic alterations were observed in TC tissues compared with in thymomas, which may contribute to the clinical features and prognosis of patients.

(Summary) <p><b><i>Background.</i></b> Bronchoscopy is used in many procedures, such as endoscopic ultrasonography, tracheal stent placement, placement of Endobronchial Watanabe Spigots, and preoperative coil marking. However, bronchoscopy is a complicated procedure, and breakage can occur due to external forces. Bronchoscope breakage is associated with both adverse economic effects and patient-related consequences, since these devices are expensive and their breakage may increase the rates of complications and cause interruptions in examinations and treatments, if repairs are necessary. <b><i>Purpose.</i></b> We considered the causes of bronchoscope damage at our hospital in order to design future preventive measures and precautions. <b><i>Method.</i></b> We examined the bronchoscope type, their breakage status, and the repair costs for the 246 bronchoscopes in our department between January 2015 and November 2017. <b><i>Result.</i></b> A bronchoscope was damaged in 3 of the 246 cases, resulting in a damage rate of 1.2%. Damage to the bronchoscope occurred during yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser resection (n=2) because of thermal damage to the suction forceps port, during a right upper lobe biopsy (n=1) because of the forceps contacting the curved part, and during an endobronchial ultrasound lymph node biopsy because of damage to the tube caused by the puncture needle (n=1). <b><i>Conclusion.</i></b> All cases of breakage occurred secondary to technical factors owing to a lack of understanding of the structure of the bronchoscope and procedural instability. Bronchoscope damage increases expenses and procedural time while potentially reducing safety. The bronchoscopy procedure must be improved. Furthermore, practitioners should increase their understanding of the bronchoscope structure in order to prevent damage. Precautionary measures can be communicated through short lecture courses and education programs in order to increase practitioners' understanding of the internal structure of the bronchoscope and measures to increase procedural stability.</p> (Keyword) 破損 / 分析 / 気管支鏡 / 修理 / 故障 / Damage / Analyze / Bronchoscopy / Repair / Breakdown (Link to Publication Site) ● Publication site (DOI): 10.18907/jjsre.43.2_91 (Link to Search Site for Scientific Articles) ● CiNii @ National Institute of Informatics (CRID): 1390569070681319424 ● Search Scopus @ Elsevier (DOI): 10.18907/jjsre.43.2_91 (DOI: 10.18907/jjsre.43.2_91, CiNii: 1390569070681319424)

(Summary) CBCT-guided TBB using a UTB under VBN is a useful method for the diagnosis of peripheral small pulmonary lesions. CBCT-guided TBB using UTB under VBN has been used as an alternative to CT-guided TBB. However, the advantage of CBCT-guided TBB using UTB under VBN over CT-guided TBB is still unknown. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic yield of CT-guided TBB and CBCT-guided TBB using a propensity score-matched analysis. Patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions ≤30 mm were included. Lesions whose bronchus could not be determined by CT were excluded. A UTB and biopsy forceps were advanced to the target bronchus under VBN, 2D-fluoroscopy and CT or CBCT. The CT-guided and CBCT-guided groups were matched for their propensity scores based on patient characteristics. We retrospectively reviewed 93 patients in the CT-guided group and 79 patients in the CBCT-guided group for this study. Furthermore, 48 distinct examination pairs were generated by propensity score matching. In the overall diagnostic yield, the CBCT-guided group showed better results (72.9%) than did the CT-guided group (47.9%) (P = 0.012). The median examination time lasted for 43 (IQR: 37-51) min in the CBCT-guided group and 50 (IQR: 43-62) min in the CT-guided group. The examination time in the CBCT-guided group was significantly shorter than that of the CT-guided group (P = 0.001). CBCT-guided TBB had a better diagnostic yield and shorter examination time than did CT-guided TBB.

(Summary) Given the subtle pathological signs of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), effective differentiation between the two entities is crucial. However, it is difficult to predict these conditions using preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging. In this study, we investigated whether histological diagnosis of AIS and MIA using quantitative three-dimensional CT imaging analysis could be predicted. We retrospectively analyzed the images and histopathological findings of patients with lung cancer who were diagnosed with AIS or MIA between January 2017 and June 2018. We used Synapse Vincent (v. 4.3) (Fujifilm) software to analyze the CT attenuation values and performed a histogram analysis. There were 22 patients with AIS and 22 with MIA. The ground-glass nodule (GGN) rate was significantly higher in patients with AIS (p < 0.001), whereas the solid volume (p < 0.001) and solid rate (p = 0.001) were significantly higher in those with MIA. The mean (p = 0.002) and maximum (p = 0.025) CT values were significantly higher in patients with MIA. The 25th, 50th, 75th, and 97.5th percentiles (all p < 0.05) for the CT values were significantly higher in patients with MIA. We demonstrated that quantitative analysis of 3D-CT imaging data using software can help distinguish AIS from MIA. These analyses are useful for guiding decision-making in the surgical management of early lung cancer, as well as subsequent follow-up.

(Summary) Disruption in the flow of blood vessels is of great concern during thoracic surgery. Preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography facilitates visualization of the exact location and course of blood vessels. The right posterior upper lobe segmental vein, known as the right top pulmonary vein (RTPV), is an anomalous vein beginning at the right upper lobe and running through the posterior surface of the intermediate bronchus. We clinically investigated 31 patients with RTPV who underwent lobectomy or total resection of the right lung in our hospital or related institutions. We classified the final destination of RTPV into four types. The RTPV flowed into the left atrium in 35.5% of cases, superior pulmonary vein in 9.7%, inferior pulmonary vein in 41.9%, and independently into V6 in 12.9%. An RTPV with a diameter ≥ 5 mm was considered a main drainage vein in S2. We should pay attention to the RTPV during right lung lobectomy.

(Summary) This study analysed the patterns of extraction ranges, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of median sternotomy (MS) and subxiphoid (SX) approaches for extended thymectomy. This study included patients with anterior mediastinum tumour and myasthenia gravis who underwent extended thymectomy at our institution between 2015 and 2018. There were 5 MS and 6 SX extended thymectomy surgeries with the VINCENT software. On preoperative computed tomography, the thymus area and fat tissue surrounding the thymus, which were planned for extraction, were traced using VINCENT (Ver. 4.0). We then constructed three-dimensional images and calculated the volumes. Evaluation of the extended thymectomy approach based on the residual fat tissue was required to determine the area of extended thymectomy. No significant differences in operation time (min) [SX: 197.3 ± 34.0, MS: 206.6 ± 91.4, drainage duration (days), SX: 2.2 ± 1.0, MS: 2.2 ± 0.4, hospital stay (days), SX: 11.8 ± 1.2, MS: 13.4 ± 2.1, residual rate (%), SX: 29.9 ± 17.5, MS: 58.7 ± 18.0 (P = 0.0519)] were observed between the 2 groups. Bleeding was significantly lower for SX than for MS. The residual rate was lower for SX than for MS. Considering the amount of the residual fat tissue, the SX approach allows an adequate dissection area for extended thymectomy compared with the MS approach.

(Summary) Recently, endoscopic surgery is the most common procedurein the field of thoracic surgery. The newestthoracic surgeryapproaches are the video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS), the one-port video-assisted thoracic surgery, and the robotic surgery. The individual advantages and disadvantages of these procedures have been discussed. VATS covers a field of view of the surgical field from the leg to the head. The basic method in performing VATS is that the surgeon operates on the abdominal area of the patient and the assistant expands the surgical field from the patient's back. It is currently the standard surgical procedure. The advantage of one-port VATS is the one port itself and its cosmetic advantages and pain reduction. The advantage of robotic surgery is that it has a clear three-dimensional enlarged field of view and can be performed using the delicate moving robotic arm. However, a good surgical training system should be established for the familiarization of these procedures. The clinical anatomy laboratory is the most efficient surgical training in addition to dry and wet lab training. Our institution has fresh-frozen cadavers, which are rare in Japan. The participating thoracic surgeons underwent training for VATS lobectomy, subxiphoid extended thymectomy, and pleurectomy decortication. This training is beneficial for educational and clinical purposes. In the future, we must obtain consistent surgical education before and after graduation using fresh-frozen cadavers. At the same time, a good organ model for training is also necessary. The surgeon has to cooperate with anatomy doctors for the development of a good surgical organ model. For the development of future surgical medicine, surgical training programs should be implemented.

(Summary) A calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign tumor that may occur in any part of the body. We report the case of an asymptomatic 21-year-old woman with thoracic tumors. Chest computed tomography showed multiple masses in the left costophrenic angle. As we were unable to diagnose the tumor with a CT-guided needle biopsy, we performed a thoracoscopic biopsy. We found smooth multilobulated masses on the pleura and multiple small nodules around the main tumors. Partial resection of the tumor was performed by VATS. Histological examination revealed that the tumor had hypocellular fibrosclerotic tissue and distributed psammomatous calcifications with inflammatory infiltrates. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the spindle cells were partially positive for CD34 and CD99, but negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1, smooth muscle actin, BCL-2, STAT6, and S-100 protein. The tumor was diagnosed as CFT. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful, and no progression of the lesions was observed during follow-up.

(Summary) pStage I includes clinicopathologically diverse groups. This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors for pStage I lung adenocarcinoma. We retrospectively reviewed 208 patients with pStage I adenocarcinomas who underwent curative resection in our institute between 2006 and 2013. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on [F18]-fluoro-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) was evaluated. Adenocarcinomas were categorized into the following histologic groups: group 0 (minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma), group 1 (papillary predominant adenocarcinoma), and group 2 (acinar predominant adenocarcinoma and all the remaining subtypes). We assessed the relationship between disease-free survival (DFS) and clinicopathological factors. Multivariate analysis of DFS demonstrated that SUVmax > 3.0 (p < 0.001), total tumor size > 20 mm (p = 0.016), and histologic groups (p < 0.05) were independent prognostic factors. The prognostic risk score (PRS) was calculated using the following equation: PRS = SUVmax (≤ 3.0: 0 point, > 3.0: 2 points) + total tumor size (≤ 20 mm: 0 point, > 20 mm: 1 point) + histologic group (group 0: 0 point, group 1: 1 point, group 2: 2 points). Patients were divided into the following three risk groups: low-risk (PRS 0-2 points, n = 136), intermediate-risk (PRS 3-4 points, n = 49), and high-risk groups (PRS 5 points, n = 13). The 5-year DFS rates were 93.2%, 50.6%, and 30.8% for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The PRS aggregating the FDG-PET/CT SUVmax, total tumor size, and histologic group predicts the prognosis of pStage I lung adenocarcinoma.

(Summary) The purpose of this study was to clarify how the students understand the older patients based on Orem's nursing theory in Geriatric Nursing Training. The participants were17nursing students in third grade. The interview was carried out using semi-structured interview with students for how they felt older patients. As a result, two categories were extracted ; [ they need limited care for deficient parts]and[they have toughness cultivated through their long life]. The students understood the older patients as having self-caring abilities and thought that limited care should be provided only for deficient parts of patients. Also, they understood older patients as having strength cultivated through their long life. It is necessary for teachers to assess the Self-care agency more severely for students to get hold of mature elements characteristic of older patients.

(Summary) Thymic epithelial tumors comprise thymoma, thymic carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus. Recent studies have revealed that the incidence of somatic non-synonymous mutations is significantly higher in thymic carcinoma than in thymoma. However, limited information is currently available on epigenetic alterations in these types of cancer. In this study, we thus performed genome-wide screening of aberrantly methylated CpG islands in thymoma and thymic carcinoma using Illumina HumanMethylation450 K BeadChip. We identified 92 CpG islands significantly hypermethylated in thymic carcinoma in relation to thymoma and selected G protein subunit gamma 4 (GNG4), growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), homeobox D9 (HOXD9) and spalt like transcription factor 3 (SALL3), which are related to cancer. We examined the promoter methylation of 4 genes in 46 thymic epithelial tumors and 20 paired thymus tissues using bisulfite pyrosequencing. Promoter methylation was significantly higher in thymic carcinoma than in thymoma and revealed a high discrimination between thymic carcinoma and thymoma in all 4 genes. Promoter methylation was higher in thymic carcinoma than in the thymus. No significant differences were observed in the promoter methylation of GNG4, HOXD9, or SALL3 between thymoma and the thymus. The promoter methylation of the 4 genes was not significantly higher in advanced-stage tumors than in early-stage tumors in all thymic epithelial tumors. Among the 4 genes, relapse-free survival was significantly worse in tumors with a higher DNA methylation than in those with a lower DNA methylation in all thymic epithelial tumors. Moreover, relapse-free survival was significantly worse in thymomas with a higher DNA methylation of HOXD9 and SALL3 than in those with a lower DNA methylation. On the whole, the findings of this study indicated that the promoter methylation of cancer-related genes was significantly higher in thymic carcinoma than in thymoma and the thymus. This is a common epigenetic alteration of high diagnostic value in thymic carcinoma and may be involved in the carcinogenesis of thymic carcinoma. However, epigenetic alterations in the 3 genes, apart from GHSR, are not involved in the tumorigenesis of thymoma.

(Summary) Hexavalent chromium is recognized as a human carcinogen. Our previous studies revealed that lung cancer (LC) in chromate-exposed workers (chromate LC) had molecular features of frequent microsatellite instability (MSI), repression of MLH1 level, and aberrant DNA methylation of several tumor-suppressor genes, including MLH1. In the present study, we quantitatively investigated MLH1-promoter methylation status using bisulfite pyrosequencing of paired tumorous/nontumorous tissues from chromate and nonchromate LCs to determine the effect of chromate exposure on MLH1-promoter methylation. The methylation level of MLH1 promoter was significantly higher in chromate LC tumors (P < .001) than nonchromate LC tumors and, among chromate LC, significantly higher in tumorous tissue than nontumorous tissue (P = .004). Moreover, the methylation level of MLH1 promoter in normal lung tissue tended to be higher in chromate LC than nonchromate LC (P = .062). In addition, LC with reduced levels of MLH1 showed significantly higher methylation levels of MLH1 promoter than LC exhibiting normal MLH1 levels (P = .019). Moreover, immunohistochemical analyses determined that levels of SUV39H1, an H3K9me2-related methyltransferase, were higher in chromate LC than nonchromate LC (P = .076). Furthermore, we evaluated three DNA double-strand break-repair genes (MRE11, RAD50, and DNA-PKcs) as possible targets of MSI by fragment-length polymorphism analysis, revealing the mutation frequency of RAD50 as significantly higher in chromate LC than nonchromate LC (P = .047). These results suggest that chromate exposure might induce MLH1 hypermethylation in LC as a mechanism of chromate-induced carcinogenesis.

(Summary) In a previous genome-wide screening, we identified hypermethylated CpG islands around glutamate decarboxylase 1 (GAD1) in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). In this study, we aimed to investigate the methylation and expression status of GAD1 and its prognostic value in patients with LADC. GAD1 methylation and mRNA expression status were analyzed using 33 tumorous and paired non-tumorous LADC samples and publicly available datasets. The prognostic value of GAD1 overexpression was investigated using publicly available datasets of mRNA levels and 162 cases of LADC by immunohistochemistry. The methylation and mRNA expression levels of GAD1, each having a positive correlation, were significantly higher in LADC tumors than in paired non-tumorous tissues. LADC patients with higher GAD1 mRNA expression showed significantly poorer prognosis for overall survival in publicly available datasets. Higher immunoreactivity of GAD1 was significantly associated with the pathological stage, pleural invasion, lymph vessel invasion, and poorer prognosis for cancer-specific and disease-free survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that GAD1 protein overexpression is an independent prognosticator for disease-free survival. GAD1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significant prognostic factors in LADC, suggesting that they might be useful biomarkers to stratify patients with worse clinical outcomes after resection.

(Summary) Transbronchial biopsy is a safe diagnostic approach for patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions; however, the diagnostic yield is low. This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic yield of transbronchial biopsy using the combination of an ultrathin bronchoscope, virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN), and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions, no >30 mm, with the responsible bronchus, were prospectively included. An ultrathin bronchoscope and biopsy forceps were advanced to the target bronchus under VBN, 2D-fluoroscopy, and CBCT. We categorized the CBCT findings before biopsy into 3 types according to positions of the target lesion and forceps (CBCT target-forceps sign). In type A, the forceps reached the inside of the target lesion. In type C, the forceps could not reach the lesion. When the CBCT findings could not be categorized into either type A or C, the sign was categorized as type B. Although the target lesions were invisible by conventional C-arm fluoroscopy in 29 patients, CBCT visualized all 40 lesions. The overall diagnostic yield was 90.0%, and diagnostic yields for malignant and benign lesions were 92.0 and 86.7%, respectively. Diagnostic yields for CBCT target-forceps sign types A, B, and C were 100, 75.0, and 0%, respectively. Four undiagnosed patients proceeded to other diagnostic procedures based on the CBCT target-forceps sign (type B: n = 2, type C: n = 2) and were correctly diagnosed without delay. Transbronchial biopsy using an ultrathin bronchoscope guided by CBCT and VBN showed a very high yield in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.

(Summary) Indocyanine green (ICG) accumulates in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and tumor fluorescence can be observed under irradiation with near infrared light (NIR). This study investigated the clinical utility of ICG fluorescence imaging during resection of pulmonary metastases of HCC. From April 2010 to June 2018, six patients with suspected pulmonary metastasis of HCC were enrolled prospectively. Prior to surgery, all patients underwent the ICG hepatic function test following intravenous administration of ICG (0.5 mg/kg body weight). During surgery, metastatic HCC was identified by observation of ICG fluorescence, allowing assessment of the surgical margin. Tumor fluorescence was also evaluated on cut sections. A total of 11 metastatic HCCs were resected in six patients at nine operations. Eight lesions were removed by wedge resection and 3 lesions were managed by lobectomy. During surgery, tumor fluorescence could be confirmed through the visceral pleura in 6 out of 7 lesions treated by wedge resection, while NIR irradiation was difficult for 1 lesion. For these 6 lesions, the median distance from the tumor to the visceral pleura and the median surgical margin were 0 mm (range, 0-2 mm) and 14 mm (range, 11-17 mm), respectively. When cut sections were examined, all tumors emitted fluorescence. All lesions were histologically confirmed to be metastatic HCC. In patients with pulmonary metastasis of HCC, ICG fluorescence imaging is useful for identifying the tumor and securing its margin when the lesion is peripheral and wedge resection is planned.

(Summary) To identify and differentiate patients with mediastinal cysts from those with cystic tumors requiring surgery. A total of 36 patients with mediastinal cystic lesions were enrolled. The patients were separated into two groups based on pathological findings : those with mediastinal cysts (n=23) and those with mediastinal tumors (n=13). The cystic components were measured using imaging parameters including mean computed tomography (CT) value, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), T1 signal intensity ratio (T1SIratio), and T2 signal intensity ratio (T2SI-ratio), acquired from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ; and standardized maximum uptake value (SUVmax) fromF-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT). Both groups were statistically compared. Comparative parameters between the cysts and tumors revealed the following ratios : CT value, 40.9?21.2 versus (vs) 24.8?12.9 (p = 0.019) ;SUVmax, 1.18?0.50 vs 4.32?3.52 (p = 0.003) ; ADC, 3.46?0.96 vs 2.68?0.74 (p = 0.022) ; T1SI-ratio, 1.06?0.60 vs 1.35? 0.92 (p = 0.648) ; T2SI-ratio, 5.40?1.80 vs 4.33?1.58 (p = 0.194). However, there was no correlation between FDG uptake and ADC value. SUVmax fromF-FDG PET/CT and ADC derived from MRI were effective in facilitating preoperative diagnosis to differentiate mediastinal cysts from tumors. However, these examinations may be complementary to one another, not dominant. J. Med. Invest. 66 : 106-111, February, 2019.

(Summary) We established patient-like models of lung cancer metastasis by orthotopically implanting human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines into SCID mice. We evaluated the utilities of small-animal computed tomography (CT) and positron-emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) in these models to non-invasively and repeatedly monitor the anticancer effects of cisplatin and erlotinib. We orthotopically implanted three non-small cell lung cancer cell lines, A549, FT821 and PC-9, into SCID mice. These mice were then divided into three groups: Control, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP) (7-mg/kg CDDP, single administration intraperitoneally), and erlotinib (25 mg/kg erlotinib/day, oral administration 5 days/week). After treatment initiation, we repeatedly performed PET/CT and CT measurements and assessed anticancer effects based on tumor volumes and FDG uptake. A549 tumors were not affected by CDDP or erlotinib. FT821 tumors were highly responsive to CDDP. PC-9 tumors, which have an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation, were highly responsive to erlotinib. Histological results and metastatic rates correlated with the anticancer effects shown by CT. In our orthotopic SCID mouse lung cancer models, 18FDG-PET/CT and CT imaging non-invasively and repeatedly monitored the efficacies of cisplatin and erlotinib against not only implanted tumors, but also mediastinal lymph node metastases.

(Summary) Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a minor population that have clonal tumor initiation and self-renewal capacity and are responsible for tumor initiation, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. CSCs reside in niches, which are composed of diverse types of stromal cells and extracellular matrix components. These stromal cells regulate CSC-like properties by providing secreted factors or by physical contact. Fibrocytes are differentiated from bone marrow-derived CD14 monocytes and have features of both macrophages and fibroblasts. Accumulating evidence has suggested that stromal fibrocytes might promote cancer progression. However, the role of fibrocytes in the CSC niches has not been revealed. We herein report that human fibrocytes enhanced the CSC-like properties of lung cancer cells through secreted factors, including osteopontin, CC-chemokine ligand 18, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. The PIK3K/AKT pathway was critical for fibrocytes to mediate the CSC-like functions of lung cancer cells. In human lung cancer specimens, the number of tumor-infiltrated fibrocytes was correlated with high expression of CSC-associated protein in cancer cells. These results suggest that fibrocytes may be a novel cell population that regulates the CSC-like properties of lung cancer cells in the CSC niches.

(Summary) There are cases in which one-lung ventilation is difficult due to contralateral lung resection or low lung function. Selective lobar blockade can improve oxygenation compared with one-lung ventilation and secure a good operative field by inducing partial collapse. We report two cases of lung resection involving selective lobar blockade. (Case1) An 80-year-old female had previously undergone right upper and middle lobectomy for multiple lung tumors. Surgery was scheduled to remove a 7‐mm ground glass opacity from the upper left lobe. Oral intubation was performed (inner diameter of intubation tube:8mm). Next, the left upper lobe bronchus was blocked with a7Fr Arndt blocker under bronchoscopy, and partial resection of the left upper lobe was conducted. (Case2) A 75-year-old male had previously undergone right upper lobectomy for pulmonary tuberculosis and had developed right chronic empyema. Surgery was scheduled to remove a 22-mm nodule from the left lingular segment. Oral intubation was performed(inner diameter of intubation tube:8．5mm). Next, the left lingual bronchus was blocked with a7Fr Arndt blocker under bronchoscopy. Left lingular segmentectomy was carried out under thoracoscopic assistance. Intraoperative oxygenation was maintained in both cases, and the release of the block due to hypoxemia was not required in either case.

(Summary) While hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is generally considered as a genotoxic environmental carcinogen, studies showed that Cr(VI) exposure also causes epigenetic changes. However, whether Cr(VI)-caused epigenetic dysregulations plays an important role in Cr(VI) carcinogenicity remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to determine if chronic low dose Cr(VI) exposure causes epigenetic changes, the underlying mechanism and whether chronic low dose Cr(VI) exposure-caused epigenetic dysregulation contributes causally to Cr(VI)-induced cancer stem cell (CSC)-like property and cell transformation. Two immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell lines (BEAS-2B and 16HBE) were exposed to 0.25 μM of KCrO for 20 and 40 weeks to induce cell transformation, respectively. Cr(VI)-induced epigenetic changes were examined in Cr(VI)-transformed cells and Cr(VI) exposure-caused human lung cancer tissues. Pharmacological inhibitors and gene knockdown experiments were used to determine the role of epigenetic dysregulation in Cr(VI) carcinogenicity. We found that chronic Cr(VI) exposure causes epigenetic dysregulation as evidenced by the increased levels of histone H3 repressive methylation marks (H3K9me2 and H3K27me3) and the related histone-lysing methyltransferases (HMTases). Pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of HMTases reduces H3 repressive methylation marks and malignant phenotypes of Cr(VI)-transformed cells. Moreover, knockdown of HMTases in parental cells significantly reduces chronic Cr(VI) exposure-induced CSC-like property and cell transformation. Further mechanistic study revealed that knockdown of HMTases decreases Cr(VI) exposure-caused DNA damage. Our findings indicate that chronic Cr(VI) exposure increases H3 repressive methylation marks by increasing the related HMTases expression; and that increased expression of HMTases plays a causal role in Cr(VI)-induced CSC-like property and cell transformation.

(Summary) Adjuvant chemotherapy with uracil tegafur (UFT) improved survival among patients with completely resected stage I lung adenocarcinoma. S-1, an oral dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD)-inhibitory 5-fluorouracil, is a more potent DPD inhibitor than UFT;therefore, we hypothesized that postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 would be effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted a feasibility study of S-1 as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with curatively resected pathological stage bold I back 10 bold I and bold I back 10 bold I back 20 bold I A NSCLC. Adjuvant chemotherapy consisted of 9 courses (4-week administration, 2-week withdrawal) of S-1 at 80-120 mg/body per day. Twenty-four patients with completely resected NSCLC were enrolled in this study from November 2007 through December 2010. The primary endpoint was the rate of completion of the scheduled adjuvant chemotherapy. The secondary endpoints were safety, overall survival, and relapse-free survival. Five patients were censored because of disease recurrence. The planned 9 courses of S-1 were administered to completion in 8 patients. Twelve patients completed more than 70% of the planned courses. Grade 3 adverse reactions, such as elevated total bilirubin (4.2%) and pneumonitis (4.2%), were observed, but there were no Grade 4 adverse reactions. Patients who completed more than 70% of the 9 courses demonstrated better overall survival than those who completed less than 70%. Postoperative administration of S-1 may be possible with few severe adverse events as adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with curatively resected pathological stage bold I back 10 bold I -bold I back 10 bold I back 20 bold I A NSCLC.

(Summary) Aims and objectives: To examine the frequency, influencing factors and clinical course of shoulder pain in patients following lung resection. Background: Thoracoscopes have been introduced in the surgical treatment of lung cancer and allow for less invasive surgery with a minimal incision. However, decubitus position-related shoulder pain on the operated side has not yet been investigated. Design: A longitudinal descriptive study. Methods: Patients who underwent lung resection in the decubitus position. Patients were interviewed 2 days before surgery and once daily for 5 days after surgery. Interview items included background data, the concomitant use of epidural anaesthesia, operative duration, the presence of preoperative shoulder stiffness (excluding shoulder pain), type of surgery and site of operation. The intensity of pain was approximately 5 on an 11-point numerical rating scale. Descriptive statistics on patient backgrounds were obtained using SPSS Statistics 22 for Windows. Results: Of the 74 patients who underwent lung resection in a decubitus position, 30 (40.5%) developed shoulder pain on the operated side. The highest rating occurred 1 day after surgery and decreased over time. The following two factors were found to influence shoulder pain on the operated side: operative duration (Z = 2.63; p = .01) and the presence of preoperative shoulder stiffness (excluding shoulder pain) (X²= 4.16; p = .04). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that approximately 40% of patients who underwent lung resection in the decubitus position developed shoulder pain. Relevance to clinical practice: The presence of postoperative shoulder pain was related to both the duration of the operation and to the presence of preoperative shoulder stiffness. Although the shoulder pain resolves within 4 days, it causes the patient additional discomfort and distress. Therefore, further research is needed on positioning for thoracotomy in order to investigate ways to reduce or eliminate this complication of lung surgery.

(Summary) We present a case of type A thymoma with invasion of the left brachiocephalic vein and lung metastases. An 84-year-old man underwent extended thymectomy combined with left brachiocephalic vein reconstruction and resection of a lung metastasis. Histological examination showed vascular invasion by the tumor. The lung metastasis had high mitotic activity and slight nuclear enlargement, the so-called "atypical" features, but the main part of the primary tumor did not. However, the intravascular portion of the tumor had "atypical" histological features like the lung metastasis. It seems that "atypical" histological features are related to clinically malignant behavior.

(Summary) Aberrant methylation of promoter CpG islands (CGIs) of tumour suppressor genes is a common epigenetic mechanism underlying cancer pathogenesis. The methylation patterns of thymic tumours have not been studied in detail since such tumours are rare. Herein, we sought to identify genes that could serve as epigenetic targets for thymic neuroendocrine tumour (NET) therapy. Genome-wide screening for aberrantly methylated CGIs was performed in three NET samples, seven thymic carcinoma (TC) samples, and eight type-B3 thymoma samples. The methylation status of thymic epithelial tumours (TETs) samples was validated by pyrosequencing in a larger cohort. The expression status was analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemistry. We identified a CGI on a novel gene, RASSF1A, which was strongly hypermethylated in NET, but not in thymic carcinoma or B3 thymoma. RASSF1A was identified as a candidate gene statistically and bibliographically, as it showed frequent CGI hypermethylation in NET by genome-wide screening. Pyrosequencing confirmed significant hypermethylation of a RASSF1A CGI in NET. Low-grade NET tissue was more strongly methylated than high-grade NET. Quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical staining revealed that RASSF1A mRNA and protein expression levels were negatively regulated by DNA methylation. RASSF1A is a tumour suppressor gene epigenetically dysregulated in NET. Aberrant methylation of RASSF1A has been reported in various tumours, but this is the first report of RASSF1A hypermethylation in TETs. RASSF1A may represent an epigenetic therapeutic target in thymic NET.

(Summary) In this study, we aimed to identify novel drivers that would be epigenetically altered through aberrant methylation in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), regardless of the presence or absence of tobacco smoking-induced epigenetic field defects. Through genome-wide screening for aberrantly methylated CpG islands (CGIs) in 12 clinically uniform, stage-I LADC cases affecting six non-smokers and six smokers, we identified candidate tumor-suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivated by hypermethylation. Through systematic expression analyses of those candidates in panels of additional tumor samples and cell lines treated or not treated with 5-aza-deoxycitidine followed by validation analyses of cancer-specific silencing by CGI hypermethylation using a public database, we identified TRIM58 as the most prominent candidate for TSG. TRIM58 was robustly silenced by hypermethylation even in early-stage primary LADC, and the restoration of TRIM58 expression in LADC cell lines inhibited cell growth in vitro and in vivo in anchorage-dependent and -independent manners. Our findings suggest that aberrant inactivation of TRIM58 consequent to CGI hypermethylation might stimulate the early carcinogenesis of LADC regardless of smoking status; furthermore, TRIM58 methylation might be a possible early diagnostic and epigenetic therapeutic target in LADC.

(Summary) This study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of autofluorescence as a mode of diagnosis for visceral pleural invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer compared with white-light by means of clinical questions to several thoracic surgeons. Eight independent thoracic surgeons evaluated visceral pleural invasion in 25 cases of non-small-cell lung cancer attached to the visceral pleura on lung windows of preoperative computed tomography images. At the first study meeting to evaluate the accuracy of visceral pleural invasion diagnosis using conventional white-light images, the surgeons diagnosed visceral pleural invasion based on information in preoperative computed tomography images, histological types and videos recorded with white-light mode using a thoracoscope. At the second study meeting to evaluate the accuracy of visceral pleural invasion diagnosis using autofluorescence, the same surgeons diagnosed visceral pleural invasion based on information in 2 videos recorded in white-light mode and in autofluorescence mode using the thoracoscope. The overall average sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of visceral pleural invasion diagnosis by white-light versus autofluorescence mode were 64.6% vs 83.3%, 53.9% vs 73.7% and 56.5% vs 76.0%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of visceral pleural invasion diagnosis was improved through the additional use of the autofluorescence mode compared with the white-light mode alone.

(Summary) <p>Thymoma often leads to complications such as autoimmune disease, and symptoms of autoimmune disease are sometimes observed in patients even after thymothymectomy. Here, we encountered a case of aplastic anemia after thymothymectomy. A 73-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of an anterior mediastinal tumor. We performed thymothymectomy by median sternotomy. Histopathological findings showed type B1 thymoma when classified according to the World Health Organization system, and stage I thymoma when classified according to the Masaoka system. Six months after the surgery, the patient had pneumonia, and her hemogram showed pancytopenia; however, it had been normal before surgery. Puncture of the bone marrow showed the presence of fatty marrow, a cell density of 10-20%, and a myeloid/erythroid ratio of more than five. The patient was diagnosed with a very severe grade of aplastic anemia. Cyclosporine and supportive therapy were administered. However, the patient died of multiple organ failure 4 months after the onset of aplastic anemia.</p><p>The occurrence of aplastic anemia after thymothymectomy is a very rare complication. However, this complication is likely to be fatal since the patient becomes immunocompromised. Therefore, it is important to be careful regarding not only the recurrence of thymoma in the patient, but also the occurrence of autoimmune disease during follow-up after thymothymectomy.</p> (Keyword) post-thymothymectomy / aplastic anemia (Link to Publication Site) ● Publication site (DOI): 10.2995/jacsurg.31.815 (Link to Search Site for Scientific Articles) ● CiNii @ National Institute of Informatics (CRID): 1390001204366292992 ● Search Scopus @ Elsevier (DOI): 10.2995/jacsurg.31.815 (DOI: 10.2995/jacsurg.31.815, CiNii: 1390001204366292992)

(Summary) Indocyanine green can selectively accumulate in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and extrahepatic metastases. We report a patient who underwent resection of pulmonary metastasis of HCC using a thoracoscopic near-infrared imaging system and fluorescent navigation surgery. A 66-year-old man with suspicion of pulmonary metastasis of HCC was referred to our hospital. Indocyanine green was injected intravenously at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg body weight, 20 h before thoracoscopic surgery. An endoscopic indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence imaging system showed clear blue fluorescence, indicating pulmonary metastasis of HCC in a lingular segment. We performed wide wedge resection using the fluorescence image for navigation to confirm the surgical margins. The specimen was histologically confirmed as a pulmonary metastasis of HCC. In conclusion, thoracoscopic indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence imaging for pulmonary metastases of HCC is useful in identifying tumor locations and ensuring resection margins.

(Summary) We administered an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (captopril) to mice implanted with a human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line (A549 cells) and investigated the tumor growth-inhibitory effect of captopril from the viewpoint of glucose metabolism using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG)-PET/CT. Subcutaneous implantation of A549 cells (1.9×10(6) cells) was carried out in the lower right flank of mice. Fifteen days after the transplantation of A549 cells, mice (six in each group) were treated with captopril (3.0 mg/mouse) or saline (1000 μl/mouse) for 5 days. We performed (18)F-FDG-PET/CT imaging of the mice before and after the treatment and evaluated the degree of (18)F-FDG accumulation in tumors. In both groups (the captopril-administrated and control groups), values for the metabolic tumor volume (MTV), maximum standardized uptake value, total lesion glycolysis, and tumor volume after treatment had a tendency to increase. However, tumor growth was suppressed in the captopril-administrated group compared with the control group. In terms of the growth rate, the MTV and tumor volume were significantly different (P<0.05). It was found that captopril exerted a potential tumor growth-inhibitory effect; this was because the captopril-administrated group showed low values of MTV, maximum standardized uptake value, total lesion glycolysis, and tumor volume in comparison with the control group.

(Summary) The mortality and morbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are high. However, no radical therapy has been developed to date. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether fetal mouse lung tissue can grow and differentiate in the emphysematous lung. Fetal lung tissue from green fluorescent protein C57BL/6 mice at 16 days' gestation was used as donor material. Twelve-month-old pallid mice were used as recipients. Donor lungs were cut into small pieces and implanted into the recipient left lung by performing thoracotomy under anesthesia. The recipient mice were sacrificed at day 7, 14, and 28 after implantation and used for histological examination. Well-developed spontaneous pulmonary emphysema was seen in 12-month-old pallid mice. Smooth and continuous connection between implanted fetal lung tissue and recipient lung was recognized. Air space expansion and donor tissue differentiation were observed over time. We could clearly distinguish the border zones between injected tissue and native tissue by the green fluorescence of grafts. Fetal mouse lung fragments survived and differentiated in the emphysematous lung of pallid mice. Implantation of fetal lung tissue in pallid mice might lead to further lung regeneration research from the perspective of respiratory and exercise function. J. Med. Invest. 63: 182-186, August, 2016.

(Summary) <p><b><i>Background. </i></b>When a new tumor appears after a long period of remission following surgery for lung cancer, it is difficult to determine whether the tumor is a recurrence or a new tumor. We herein report a case of a chest wall tumor that developed 22 years after pulmonary lobectomy diagnosed by an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene mutation. <b><i>Case. </i></b>An 80-year-old man underwent left-lung upper lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma (pT4N2M0 Stage III) 22 years prior. We treated him with adjuvant chemotherapy after the surgery and did not detect a recurrence for 10 years. However, we noticed a chest wall mass 22 years after the surgery and diagnosed it by a biopsy as adenocarcinoma. The new specimen was stained with anti-thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and anti-ALK antibodies, and the pathological specimen from the first surgery was also stained with anti-ALK antibody. We therefore diagnosed the chest wall tumor as a recurrence of the lung adenocarcinoma. We treated him with crizotinib, and the tumor shrank. However, we stopped the treatment because of the development of drug-induced interstitial pneumonia. We switched him to a platinum combination regimen, and follow-up is ongoing. <b><i>Conclusions. </i></b>When a lesion is suspected to be a recurrence long after surgery, an examination of gene mutations, such as that of ALK, may be useful.</p> (Keyword) Lung cancer / ALK / Late recurrence (Link to Publication Site) ● Publication site (DOI): 10.2482/haigan.56.1046 (Link to Search Site for Scientific Articles) ● CiNii @ National Institute of Informatics (CRID): 1390001204683808512 ● Search Scopus @ Elsevier (DOI): 10.2482/haigan.56.1046 (DOI: 10.2482/haigan.56.1046, CiNii: 1390001204683808512)

(Summary) Acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia (IP) is one of the most severe and fatal postoperative complications in lung cancer patients underlying IP. We treated two patients suffered from acute exacerbation of IP after pulmonary resection for lung cancer. We analyzed their clinical findings. Thoracoscopic lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed in these cases. The patients were diagnosed with acute exacerbation 4 or 5 days after operation and treated with steroids. Both patients had not been diagnosed as IPs before surgery, however, IPs were diagnosed by retrospective analysis of pathological examination for the removal lungs. Chest CT before surgery showed an interstitial shadow in the lung field faintly in these cases. It should be considered that patients who show a faint interstitial shadow in chest CT could potentially cause an acute exacerbation of IP after lung cancer operation.

The nurse administrators and hospital directors of all hospitals (113 hospitals) in Tokushima Prefecture were invited to respond to a survey questionnaire by mail posted during the period between February and March of 2015. Responses were received from 46 nurse administrators (response rate, 41%) and 38 hospital directors (response rate, 34%). The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the narrative descriptions summarized. Majority of responses from nurse administrators and hospital directors were accepting that nurses have responsibilities for administering medicines such as tranquilizers, anti-anxiety and anticonvulsant drugs. This result was not affected by the size of the hospital, in which fifty four percent (54%) of respondents were from hospitals with less than 100 beds. In Japan, only hospitals with 100 beds or more may have procedures involving highly invasive treatments. Because of this, many of the respondents answered ``not applicable'' to statements in the questionnaire which were related to invasive treatments. Recruitment of nurses, strategies to cope with accidents and education curriculum were important concerns of nurse administrators and hospital directors which remain to be answered in future investigations.

(Summary) Our aim in this study was to clarify the effects of respiratory-gated PET in the evaluation of lung cancer according to the (18)F-FDG uptake in an orthotopic transplantation mouse model. We created such a model, and we performed PET/CT. The mice were divided into two groups according to tumor volume: a small-tumor group (<20 mm(3)) and a large-tumor group (>20 mm(3)). We reconstructed the following conditions based on list-mode data: non-gated (3D) images and gated (4D) images, divided based on the respiratory cycle (expiration phase, stable phase, and inspiration phase). We calculated the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) in each phase. We used the % difference [= (4D SUVmax - 3D SUVmax)/3D PET SUVmax × 100 (%)] to evaluate the differences in the 4D SUVmax and 3D SUVmax. The 4D SUVmax values were significantly higher than the 3D SUVmax, regardless of the tumor size. The % difference for the small tumors was greater than that for the large tumors, and it was highest in the stable phase. We conclude that the SUVmax in the stable phase under respiratory-gated PET are the most reliable. The SUVmax observed under non-gated PET are considered to be more frequently underestimated in cases involving small tumors than in those involving large tumors. In the chronologic study evaluating the time course of tumor development, the size of the tumor is small in early stage, and respiratory-gated PET is effective in reducing the underestimation of such tumors caused by respiratory motion.

(Summary) The long-term consequences of non-tuberculous mycobacterium pericarditis with pericardial effusion after fenestration have not been described. We encountered a case of non-tuberculous mycobacterium pericarditis in a 59-year-old woman with an underlying collagenosis. Repeated drainage was required because of rapid reaccumulation of the effusion. To definitively control the effusion, pericardial fenestration was performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Chest radiography performed 6 years postoperatively showed no accumulation of pericardial or pleural fluid. The patient required careful follow-up and, to date, the pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) infection has been successfully suppressed by continuous antibiotic therapy. Pericardial fenestration with antibiotic therapy was an appropriate treatment for recurrent effusion in this case of NTM pericarditis.

(Summary) S-1 is a newly developed dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase inhibitory fluoropyrimidine that exhibits high clinical efficacy against non-small cell lung cancers. To identify genes that may be associated with chemosensitivity to the antitumor drug S-1, we used a low density array representing 93 genes to analyze expression profiles in 4 orthotopically implanted lung cancers derived from human lung cancer cell lines (Lu99, Lu130, LC6 and A549). The tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rates of S-1 in orthotopically implanted tumors of the Lu99, Lu130, LC6 and A549 cell lines were 34.6, 37.5, 32.1 and 3.6%, respectively. The expression of the PRSS3, ABCC4, TXN, SHMT1 and CMPK genes was significantly promoted in the orthotopically implanted SCID mouse model of the 4 lung cancer cell lines by the administration of S-1, while the expression of the LMO7 and FOLH1 genes was significantly suppressed. The expression of the ABCC1, 2 and TST genes was negatively correlated with TGI. The expression of the TK1 and ERCC2 genes was positively correlated with TGI. The results of the present study suggest that the expression of the ABCC1, 2, TST, TK1 and ERCC2 genes is related to resistance to the antitumor drug S-1.

(Summary) Objective : It has been accepted to use staplers for open and video-assisted thoracic surgery, however there was a risk in stapling of the pulmonary vasculatures. A newly developed stapler, powered ECHELON FLEX (Ethicon) is an electrically-powered stapler. It may reduce tip movement during cutting and stapling, which results in reduction of the risk of trauma to surrounding tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate powered ECHELON FLEX for pulmonary lobectomy. Methods : We reviewed 16 patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy with powered ECHELON FLEX in our institution from December, 2013 to April, 2014. Results : There were 25 stapling for the pulmonary artery, 17 stapling for the pulmonary vein, 16 stapling for the bronchus, and 33 stapling for the pulmonary parenchyma. Though two case of oozing from the stamps of a pulmonary artery and pulmonary parenchyma, there were no serious complications related to use of the staplers. Conclusions : The powered ECHELON FLEX can be used for pulmonary lobectomy safely.

(Summary) In Japan, the only robot surgery covered by health insurance is prostatectomy. Robot surgery for pulmonary cancer has not been approved as advanced health care, and hospitals are required to set out-of-pocket fees for surgery on their own. We calculated the fee not covered by insurance to be 1.28million yen, taking into account expenses for : (1) the use of medical equipment, (2) maintenance, (3) labor costs, and (4) medical materials and drugs. Since the fees for surgery plus hospitalization are actually incurred by patients, whether or not the hospitalization fee should be included in out-of-pocket medical fees is decided by each health care institution. In any case, it is necessary to provide patients with a summary of medical fees prior to surgery. Hospitals are required to collect data on pulmonary robot surgical cases while operating the system with medical fees incurred by individual patients.

(Summary) Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has recently been applied for evaluating tumor response to anticancer therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utility of FDG PET-CT in monitoring non-invasively and repeatedly the inhibitory effect of cisplatin (CDDP) on an orthotopic lung cancer model. Validation of in vivo FDG uptake in human lung cancer Ma44-3 cell line in an orthotopic SCID mouse model was carried out. Next, we assessed the use of FDG PET-CT to monitor the response of orthotopic lung cancer to the anticancer effect of CDDP. SCID mice were divided into the CDDP group (7 mg/kg single dose intraperitoneally) and the control group. Tumor volume and maximal standardized uptake value (SUV max) were calculated for all mice. All mice were sacrificed for histopathologic analysis. Validation of FDG PET-CT showed that tumor volume and SUV max were significantly correlated with postmortem tumor length measured in specimens (P=0.023) and (P=0.012), respectively, and there was a significant correlation between SUV max and tumor volume (P=0.048). Response monitoring showed that significant growth inhibition by CDDP in the form of SUV max of the CDDP group was significantly lower than that of the control group on day 8 (P=0.02) and on day 13 (P=0.003). Tumor volume of the CDDP group was significantly lower than that of the control group on day 13 (P=0.03). The present study supports using FDG PET-CT in monitoring tumor progression and therapeutic response of lung cancer in an orthotopic model non‑invasively and repeatedly.

(Summary) A key challenge in diagnosis and treatment of thymic epithelial tumors (TET) is in improving our understanding of the genetic and epigenetic changes of these relatively rare tumors. Methylation specific PCR (MSP) and immunohistochemistry were applied to 66 TET to profile the methylation status of DNA repair gene O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and its protein expression in TET to clarify the association between MGMT status and clinicopathological features, response to chemotherapy and overall survival. MGMT methylation was significantly more frequent in thymic carcinoma than in thymoma (17/23, 74% versus 13/44, 29%; P<0.001). Loss of expression of MGMT protein was significantly more frequent in thymic carcinoma than in thymoma (20/23, 87% versus 10/44, 23%; P<0.0001). There is a significant correlation between of MGMT methylation and loss of its protein expression (P<0.0003). MGMT methylation and loss of expression were significantly more frequent in advanced thymic epithelial tumors (III/IV) than in early tumors (I/II). MGMT methylation plays a soul role in development of TET, especially in thymic carcinoma. Therefore, translation of our results from basic molecular research to clinical practice may have important implication for considering MGMT methylation as a marker and a target of future therapies in TET.

(Summary) The thymus is implicated as an organ that contributes to autoimmunity in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. Hassall's corpuscles (HCs) are assumed to represent the terminally differentiated stage of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). By using multicolor immunohistofluorescence analysis, we examined HCs in thymuses that were therapeutically excised from MG (+) and MG (-) patients. We found that the number of HCs per unit area of the thymic medulla was significantly elevated in the thymuses of MG (+) patients with thymic hyperplasia. CCL21 expression increased in the hyperplastic MG thymuses. We speculate that the altered differentiation of mTECs is associated with the thymic hyperplasia and the onset of MG.

(Summary) Carbon monoxide (CO) is expelled mainly via the lungs, so that exhaled carbon monoxide (Ex-CO) concentration reflects endogenous production. Recent reports have shown that Ex-CO levels are increased in critically ill patients and after anaesthesia and surgery. However, there has been no investigation of the changes in Ex-CO level during a lung operation. We continuously monitored Ex-CO and exhaled carbon dioxide (Ex-CO2) concentrations during surgery for lung cancer. Eighteen lung cancer patients who underwent elective lung cancer lobectomy were enrolled in this study. All patients were endotracheally intubated and ventilated under general anaesthesia. Ex-CO and Ex-CO2 concentrations were separately monitored and recorded continuously using two sets of Carbolyzer® breath analysers (Taiyo Inc., Osaka, Japan). Ex-CO concentration increased rapidly in response to changes in body position from supine to decubitus and was significantly decreased when patients were once again lying back (supine 2). Upon restarting bilateral ventilation, Ex-CO concentration in the operated lung was significantly higher than that in the breathing lung. In the lateral decubitus position, Ex-CO2 concentration showed the same pattern of increase as seen for Ex-CO. In the operated lung, the Ex-CO2 concentrations changed significantly at clamping, declamping and supine 2. In the re-ventilated, operated lung, the Ex-CO2 concentration was significantly lower than in the breathing lung. In the breathing lung, the Ex-CO2 concentration did not exhibit any significant changes over the course of the operation. When breathing was restarted, the Ex-CO level of the target lung was significantly higher than that of the breathing lung. The Ex-CO concentration was also affected by the surgical body position and this change was marked and transient.

(Summary) OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) and the relationships among the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), histological type, other clinical factors and FDG uptake in thymic epithelial tumours. METHODS: Thirty-three patients who underwent FDG-PET/CT before treatment were reviewed. All types of tumours were reclassified into three subgroups: low-risk thymomas (types A, AB and B1), high-risk thymomas (types B2 and B3) and thymic carcinomas. Tumour contour, pattern of FDG uptake, tumour size and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were obtained. Expressions of HIF-1, Glut-1 and VEGF were analysed immunohistochemically, and these expressions were evaluated using grading scales. RESULTS: FDG uptake was visually recognized in all (100%) tumours. A homogeneous pattern of FDG uptake was increasingly observed in the order of low-risk thymomas to high-risk thymomas to thymic carcinomas (P = 0.016). SUVmax for thymic carcinomas was significantly higher than that for thymomas (P = 0.008). With the optimal cut-off value of SUVmax of 5.6, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for diagnosing thymic carcinoma were 0.75, 0.80 and 0.79, respectively. Regarding the mean scoring of HIF-1, Glut-1 and VEGF, increasing trends were observed in the order of low-risk thymomas to high-risk thymomas to thymic carcinomas. Tumour size revealed a significant correlation with SUVmax (r = 0.60, P < 0.001), and the expression of HIF-1 showed a moderate association, but the expression of Glut-1 showed no correlation with SUVmax. Regarding correlations between the expression of the three markers, there were moderate associations between HIF-1 and Glut-1, and HIF-1 and VEGF, and a significant correlation between Glut-1 and VEGF (r = 0.60, P < 0.001). In type B1 thymoma, HIF-1 and Glut-1 were partly expressed in non-neoplastic immature lymphocytes. CONCLUSIONS: FDG-PET/CT should be performed in patients with tumours in the anterior mediastinum because the pattern of FDG uptake and SUVmax are useful in the differential diagnosis of thymic epithelial tumours. Furthermore, the expressions of HIF-1, Glut-1 and VEGF might be associated with malignancy of thymic epithelial tumours. In contrast, FDG uptake might be dependent on tumour size rather than Glut-1 overexpression.

(Summary) OBJECTIVES: To re-evaluate the efficacy of fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection after computed tomography (CT)-guided bronchoscopic metallic coil marking (FATS-CM), which was our original method for small peripheral pulmonary lesions. METHODS: Fifty-eight patients with 63 lesions underwent FATS-CM. A metallic coil was installed in the bronchus nearest to the lesion under CT fluoroscopic guidance with ultrathin bronchoscopy. The virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) system was used in 14 cases. Afterwards, we basically performed wide wedge resection (WWR) using a C-arm-shaped roentgenographic fluoroscope during thoracoscopic surgery initially, and then the final procedure was determined by intraoperative histological diagnosis. Moreover, we prospectively treated ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions of <20 mm diameter according to our treatment protocol from September 2004. RESULTS: We could install coils in the objective bronchi in all cases. The average time required for the marking procedure was 38.9 (15-120) min. Pneumothorax was recognized in 1 (1.7%) case as a complication, but no fatal complications occurred. We could also install coils for each lesion in 4 cases (9 lesions) with multiple lesions. In 14 cases with the VBN system, the examination time and CT number were significantly reduced (P < 0.05 and <0.001, respectively), compared with those of 40 cases without the VBN system. The average interval between the CM and the operation was 5.6 (0-30) days. We never experienced a case of migration preoperatively. Sixty-two (98.4%) lesions were definitively identified, and WWRs were performed using three trocars in 58 (92.1%) cases during thoracoscopic surgery. Lobectomy was initially performed in only 1 case owing to coil migration. Thirty-seven of 40 cases (92.5%) were in line with the treatment protocol. There were no local-regional recurrences in all cases undergoing WWR. CONCLUSIONS: We could prospectively show that our method was suitable to perform WWR with a sufficient margin for small GGO lesions of <20 mm. Moreover, we reconfirmed that the advantages of our method were safety, permitting flexibility in scheduling operations and a high ability to deal with multiple lesions. Additionally, our method became a minimally invasive and mature technique by using a new VBN system.

(Summary) The aim of this survey was to clarify the effects of smoking prevention education to the highschoolstudents, and its ripple effects to their families. Participants were same group of630students.Questionnaire surveys were conducted, self-reporting and anonymous, immediately beforeand after the lecture meeting, and after8month in2011‐2012fiscal year. As a result, significantfavorable changes were observed in female students regarding the images of smoking and the predictionof behavior associated with smoking in the future. However, favorable outcome was notobserved among both male and female students after eight months. As useful educational contents,to help stop smoking behavior in the future, the causes of vulnerability to cancer and strongdependence on nicotine were pointed out. Significantly high rates were observed : male studentsselected the"economical reasons"", social responsibility"and"transition of smoking rate"; femalestudents selected the"effect on appearance"and"effect on babies". Also, the smoking rate of theparents of targeted students was lower than the national average, which revealed that their parentswere grappling with the problem of smoking abstinence, caused by the chance of having conversationsabout smoking with their family members. We conclude that it is necessary to construct theeducational contents appropriate for the characteristics of each targeted group including familybackground in order to make smoking abstinence a success. Future studies are also necessary todevelop effective educational continuous and periodical approaches of the lecture meeting, whichwill trigger the cessation of smoking and promote conversation within the family unit.

(Summary) A 53-year-old female with pemphigus vulgaris received treatment with prednisolone for 3 years. On chest computed tomography performed at follow-up, an anterior-mediastinal tumor (4 cm × 3 cm) was detected and diagnosed as a thymoma. Although amyosthenia was absent, the patient's anti-acetylcholine-receptor antibody level was high, and she was positive for anti-desmoglein 3 antibodies. She underwent extended thymectomy in the same year, following which both the anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody and the anti-desmoglein 3 antibody levels were normalized. The patient's skin symptoms improved, and the steroid dose was gradually lowered and finally discontinued 4 years postoperatively. Extended thymectomy may be an effective therapy for treating patients with pemphigus.

(Summary) The objective of the present study was to assess the safety and feasibility of computed tomography lymphography by transbronchial injection of a water-soluble extracellular computed tomography contrast agent. From April 2010 to May 2011, patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer who were candidates for lobectomy were enrolled in the present study. An ultrathin bronchoscope was inserted to the target bronchus under the guidance of virtual bronchoscopic navigation images. Computed tomography images of the chest were obtained 0.5 and 5 minutes after 2 or 3 mL of iopamidol was injected through a microcatheter. Sentinel nodes were identified when the maximum computed tomography attenuation value of the lymph nodes on the postcontrast computed tomography images increased by 30 Hounsfield units or more compared with the precontrast images. Patients underwent lobectomy with standard lymph node dissection. The ultrathin bronchoscope could access the targeted bronchus, and iopamidol was delivered into the peritumoral area in all 13 patients without any complications. Sentinel nodes were identified in 12 (92.3%) of the 13 patients. The average number of sentinel nodes was 1.5 (range, 1-2). Pathologic examination revealed metastatic lymph nodes in 2 patients. Metastatic nodes were included with the sentinel nodes. Computed tomography lymphography by transbronchial injection of iopamidol was a safe and feasible method to identify the sentinel nodes in patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

(Summary) Background. We report a pediatric case of remove of bronchial foreign body using a laryngeal mask airway and flexible bronchoscopy. Case. A 18-month-old girl accidentally inhaled a peanut. Afterwards she entered another hospital with a chief complaint of wheezing and received antibiotic treatment. On the next day, an abnormal shadow was pointed out, which was suspected to indicate a foreign body, in the left main bronchus. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan was carried to our hospital. On the same day, after the airway was cleared using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA size 2.0) under general anesthesia, a flexible bronchoscope (external diameter 4.0 mm) was inserted. The foreign body was successfully removed with a balloon-tip catheter. The foreign body was a peanut. Conclusion. By using a laryngeal mask airway, we could maintain available ventilation and enable a smooth procedure using a flexible bronchoscope while removing a pediatric bronchial foreign body.

(Summary) The aim of this study is to evaluate whether leaflet distribution affects lung screening rate, and what factor affects the motivation of consultation. Men and women aged 40 to 59 were targeted to improve screening rate of ages for cancer screening, especially in their prime. Each 1,000 subject, a total of 2,000 were selected and divided into 8 groups in consideration of age group by random sampling method. This group was further divided into two groups, an intervention group including subjects distributed a leaflet and a non-intervention (control) group. A survey was conducted by postal self-administered survey forms. Collection rate was 21.6% for the intervention and 17.6% for the control group. The numbers of respondents who answered that this leaflet was effective for motivation of consulting lung cancer screening and the leaflet was ineffective, were 120 (60.0%) and 80 (40.0%), respectively. This indicated that the leaflet was clearly effective (p<0.01). Actual cancer screening rate was 38.8% for the intervention group and 37.7% for the control group. It was shown that distribution by mail of even a single leaflet made by National Cancer Center was effective for motivation of consultation of lung cancer screening.

(Summary) BACKGROUND: It is known that endogenously synthesized protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) following the administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an effective photosensitizer for photodynamic diagnosis (PDD). We tested in vivo and in vitro susceptibility of human lung cancer and mesothelioma cells to photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a photosensitizer. METHODS: Human lung cancer cell lines A549, Ma44-3, FT821 and human mesothelioma cell lines MSTO-211H, NCI-H290, Y-MESO-14 were incubated with 0.03% 5-ALA for 4h. After incubation, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence was detected using a fluorescence microscope. Pleural carcinosis was induced in severe combined immunodeficiency disease mice using the previous cell lines to test the efficacy of PDD in vivo. The mice were sacrificed 4h after oral administration of 400mg/kg of 5-ALA. We counted the visible tumors under white light then fluorescence light. RESULTS: In vitro, clear red fluorescence was observed in all cell lines. The mean fluorescence intensity was stronger in A549 and FT821 cells than Ma44-3 cells (165.59±26.49, 157.62±18.93 vs. 104.01±17.58). Also, MSTO-211H and NCI-H290 cells had stronger fluorescence intensity than Y-MESO-14 cells (142.51±26.85, 165.16±12.91 vs. 92.31±8.69). In vivo, the tumor detection rate of fluorescence diagnosis was 1.1-4.5 times higher than that of white light. The mean number of metastases detected by the PDD was significantly higher than that of white light for FT821 (p=0.004), Ma44-3 (p=0.006) and Y-MESO-14 cell lines (p=0.005), but not for A549, NCI-H290 and MSTO-211H cell lines. Small lesions were detected by fluorescence diagnosis even though the lesions were invisible macroscopically under white light. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest the possibility of clinical application of fluorescence diagnosis with intrapleural malignant tumors.

(Summary) Our previous studies revealed a variety of genetic changes in lung cancers from chromate-exposed workers (chromate lung cancer). In the present study, we examined epigenetic changes in chromate lung cancers. Nested-methylation-specific PCR was employed in studying the methylation of CpG islands in the APC, MGMT, hMLH1 genes in 36 chromate lung cancers and 25 nonchromate lung cancers. Methylation in chromate lung cancers was detected at 86% for APC, 20% for MGMT, and 28% for hMLH1. Whereas, it occurred at lower frequencies in nonchromate lung cancers, particularly in APC (44%) and hMLH1 (0%) genes. Our previous study showed that methylation of p16 gene in chromate lung cancer and nonchromate lung cancer was 33% and 26%, respectively. The mean methylation index (MI), a reflection of the overall methylation status, was significantly higher in chromate lung cancers than nonchromate lung cancers (0.41 vs. 0.21, P=0.001). Methylation of multiple genes (particularly hMLH1, p16, and APC genes) had experienced more than 15 yr of chromate exposure in chromate lung cancer (MI: <15 yr; 0.19, ≥ 15 yr, 0.42). There is a significant correlation of p16 and hMLH1 methylation with the expressional decrease or loss of the corresponding gene products (P=0.037 and 0.024) respectively, and an inverse correlation between APC and MGMT methylation (P = 0.014). This study provides a novel evidence for the chromium carcinogenesis that chromate lung cancer is linked to the progressive methylation of some tumor suppressor genes, which may be related to genomic instability.

(Summary) A 69-year-old man and a 53-year-old man with lung cancer of left upper lobe underwent pulmonary resection. A preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed the left superior and inferior pulmonary veins forming a common trunk. In the former case, the common trunk was misidentified as the superior pulmonary vein. The latter was recognized preoperatively by using 3-dimensional CT, and successfully performed left superior segmentectomy. This variation type is surgically important because of a potential risk of intraoperative bleeding and damage to pulmonary circulation during pulmonary resection.

(Summary) The aim of this research was to clarify the relation between the screening rates for five cancers (lung cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, uterus cancer, and breast cancer) and their mortality rate by using publicly accessible databases. The used information materials were those prepared by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the Center for Cancer Control and Information Services, and the National Cancer Center. Our results were as follows: 1) regarding stomach and colorectal cancers, a positive correlation was found between the screening rate and the mortality rate (p<0.001); 2) in the relation between the screening rate and the mortality rate according to administrative divisions, the mortality rate decreased significantly when the lung cancer screening rate improved (p<0.005); 3) the mortality rate for breast cancer increased in those aged 50 or over; 4) the mortality rate for uterus cancer had been slightly increasing since 1990; and 5) regarding the screening rate, a positive correlation was found between breast cancer and uterus cancer (p<0.001). In future, improvement in lifestyle and in the knowledge of cancer should be promoted to enhance the screening rates.

(Summary) Lung cancer is the leading cause of malignancy-related death worldwide. In the present study, we reviewed the epidemiologic and clinical features of lung cancer in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. Between January 1999 and December 2009, 2,183 patients with lung cancer were enrolled in this study. One thousand five hundred ninety-one (73%) patients were male and 592 (27%) patients were female. Median age was 70 years, with a range of 15-93 years. Seventy-six percent of patients had smoking history. One thousand nine hundred five (87%) patients were non-small cell lung cancer and the predominant histological type was adenocarcinoma (51%). Among all 2,183 patients, 702 (32%) belonged to elderly population. Four hundred seventy-one (22%), 213 (10%), 24 (1%), 116 (5%), 238 (11%), 370 (17%) and 678 (31%) patients had stage IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB and IV lung cancer, respectively. In Tokushima University Hospital, 516 (29%), 191 (11%), 58 (3%), 755 (43%) and 216 (12%) patients were initially treated with chemotherapy, chemo-radiotherapy, thoracic radiotherapy, operation and best supportive care, respectively. The median time to progression (TTP) and the median survival time (MST) of patients treated with chemotherapy and chemo-radiotherapy were 3.5 months, 13.0 months and 7.0 months, 18.0 months, respectively. The median TTP and the MST of 33 elderly patients treated with chemotherapy were 3.3 months and 18.0 months, respectively, which were comparable with those of total population. These results indicated the benefit of chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced lung cancer by proper selection.

(Summary) We clinically reviewed 33 surgery patients and 15 non-surgery patients aged 80 years or older with primary lung cancer treated at our hospital. The surgery group consisted of 21 males and 12 females (82.0 +/- 1.9 years old). The surgical procedures were 1 pneumonectomy, 19 lobectomies (1 bronchoplasty), 4 segmentectomies and 9 partial resections. The cancer types were 17 adenocarcinomas, 14 squamous cell carcinomas and 2 others. The stagings were 24 in stage I, 4 in stage II and 5 in stage III. There were no direct surgical deaths within 30 days post operatively. There have been 9 other disease-related deaths to date (27%). The non-surgery group consisted of 9 males and 6 females (81.7 +/- 1.5 years old). Treatment procedures consisted of radiationtherapy in 11, chemotherapy in 2 and best supportive care in 3. The cancer types were 2 adenocarcinomas, 11 squamous cell carcinomas and 2 others. The stagings were 7 in stage I, 4 in stage II and 4 in stage III. There have been 3 other disease-related deaths to date (20%). We must carefully select the therapeutic approach for elderly lung cancer patients, because the other disease-related death rates of both groups were high. The 5-year survival rate of stage I patients in the surgical group was relatively good (60.2%). There were long-term survival (7 5-year survivors) in the surgical group. Since there were some cases of radiation pneumonia in the group receiving radiation therapy, it would be better to perform surgery for elderly patients with lung cancer, especially those with stage I disease. For elderly patients, it is important to consider quality of life as well as the survival rate.

(Summary) The thymus has been implicated as a possible site of origin that triggers autoimmunity in myasthenia gravis (MG). Although several groups have suggested that the decrease in the number of regulatory T (Treg) cells contributes to the onset of MG, the exact role of Treg cells in MG remains unclear. To address this point, we examined the number and distribution of Treg cells in a large number of patients with MG. Immunohistofluorescence analysis of Foxp3 along with CD4 and CD8 was performed in thymic sections of MG (+) (n = 24) and MG (-) patients (n = 27). Circulating CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with MG (n = 15) and age-matched healthy subjects (n = 15) were also analyzed. Foxp3(+)CD4(+)CD8(-) cells were predominantly found in the thymic medulla and their number declined with age. There was no significant difference in the number or the distribution of Foxp3(+)CD4(+)CD8(-) cells in the thymus between MG (+) and MG (-) patients. The number of circulating CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with MG was not significantly altered compared to that in healthy subjects. The cellularity of Treg cells in the thymus and circulation is not diminished in patients with myasthenia gravis.

(Summary) We report a patient treated for malignant melanoma of the left planta who developed pulmonary metastases after a disease-free interval of 10 years. Metastatectomy was performed after observing progress for 12 months. However, 18 months later, pretracheal and right axillary lymph node metastases occurred. Because pulmonary metastasis from malignant melanoma may occur after 10 years or more, we observe patients carefully. If it does occur, an operation should be considered under limited indications. We should also recognize that recurrence may occur within a short interval after metastatectomy as well.

(Summary) As the number of elderly patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) has recently increased in Europe and the USA, a retrospective survey of Japanese MG patients was conducted in a single neurological centre over several decades. The study consisted of 112 consecutive MG patients with onset of the disease from 1971 to 2006 from an area of approximately 0.8 million inhabitants in Japan. Patients were classified into three subgroups according to age at onset: young onset (39 years old), middle aged onset (40-59 years old) and elderly onset (60 years old). The trends in incidence rate and clinical features were examined: disease severity, seropositivity for antiacetylcholine receptor antibody, occurrence of other autoimmune diseases, occurrence of thymoma and therapeutic response. The onset adjusted age specific average annual incidence per 100,000 of the elderly onset MG patients increased 20-fold from 1981-1990 (0.06; 95% CI 0.00 to 0.36) to 2001-2006 (1.30; 95% CI 0.77 to 2.05). Clinical features of the elderly onset MG patients included low antiacetylcholine receptor antibody titres (mean 24.6 nmol/l), less frequent autoimmune overlaps (8.0%) and nearly no complete stable remission with or without thymectomy. The increasing incidence of elderly onset MG in Japanese patients similar to that reported in Caucasians has been confirmed. The clinical features suggest different immunological backgrounds between young onset and elderly onset MG patients, irrespective of the ethnic background.

(Summary) Fluorescence diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer has not been reported previously. This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of fluorescence detection using 5-aminolevulinic acid and mono-L-aspartyl chlorine e6 for lymph node metastasis in a lung cancer mouse model. Human lung cancer cell line Ma44-3, which forms metastatic lymph nodes in the mediastinum, was injected into the left lungs of 6 severe combined immunodeficiency disease mice. Two weeks after implantation, 2 groups of 3 mice received oral administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (100 mg/kg) or intraperitoneal administration of mono-L-aspartyl chlorine e6 (5 mg/kg). Both lungs and mediastinal organs were removed en-bloc and illuminated with blue light (405 nm) to evaluate the detectability of lung tumors and metastatic lymph nodes in the mediastinum. These organs were evaluated histopathologically. Clear red fluorescence was observed in the lung tumors of all mice. Metastatic lymph nodes had formed in 5 of 6 mice and were detected by fluorescent detection in all 5 mice even though one of the lymph nodes was invisible macroscopically under white light. In conclusion, fluorescence diagnosis of lymph node metastasis is possible in a mouse model. The successful result with small lymph node metastasis suggests the possibility of clinical application.

(Summary) Studies on pallid mice models of genetic emphysema have conventionally focused on morphological or biochemical evaluations. However, it is important to consider the functional aspects. We evaluated the exercise capacity and respiratory function in male pallid mice and male C57BL/6J mice at 3, 6, 12, and 15 months of age. The functional evaluations were conducted using a treadmill and a pulmonary function analysis device. The morphology of the lungs was analyzed on the basis of mean linear intercept (Lm) values. The body weights of the pallid mice at 12 and 15 months were significantly lower than those of the age-matched C57BL/6J mice. The pallid mice showed deterioration in exercise capacity from 6 months, as indicated by the trends in running distance. At 6, 12, and 15 months, the pallid mice showed significantly higher pulmonary compliance and significantly lower forced expiratory volume in 20 ms (FEV(20 ms))/vital capacity (VC) values in comparison with the corresponding values for the C57BL/6J mice. In the morphological analysis of the pallid mice, emphysema was detected from 12 months, and the mice showed a significantly larger Lm at 12 months. The exercise capacity and lung function in the pallid mice significantly deteriorated from 6 months, at which time no pathological changes in the lung were detected. The deterioration in the exercise capacity and pulmonary function preceded the microscopic morphological changes.Laboratory Investigation advance online publication, 20 April 2009; doi:10.1038/labinvest.2009.34.

(Summary) The antineoplastic effects of combinations of anticancer drugs (5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and cisplatin) and triterpenes (ursolic acid, betulinic acid, oleanolic acid and a Japanese apricot extract (JAE) containing triterpenes) on esophageal squamous carcinoma cells were examined by the WST-8 (2-(2-methoxy- 4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt) assay in vitro and by an animal model in vivo. Triterpenes and JAE showed additive and synergistic cytotoxic effects, respectively, on esophageal squamous carcinoma cells (YES-2cells) by combinational use of 5-fluorouracil. JAE and 5-fluorouracil induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and at S phase, respectively, and caused apoptosis in YES-2 cells. A new animal model of esophageal cancer causing tumor colonization of the peritoneal cavity and producing bloody ascites was made by injecting YES-2 cells into the peritoneal cavity of a severe combined immunodeficiency mouse. In this model, 5-fluorouracil inhibited colonization of tumor cells in the peritoneum. The addition of JAE to 5-fluorouracil augmented the suppression of experimental metastasis of the peritoneum. The numbers of peritoneal nodules of more than 2 mm in diameter in mice treated with 5-fluorouracil and JAE were less than those in mice treated with 5-fluorouracil alone or JAE alone. These results suggest that triterpenes, especially JAE, are effective supplements for enhancing the chemotherapeutic effect of 5-fluorouracil on esophageal cancer. (c) 2009 UICC.

(Summary) We report a rare case of recurrent thymoma with pleural dissemination invading the intervertebral foramen. A woman with Masaoka's stage IVa thymoma with myasthenia gravis (MG) underwent macroscopically complete resection. After 45 months, she developed back pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest demonstrated a mass in the right thoracic cavity invading the intervertebral foramen between thoracic vertebrae 10 and 11. She underwent complete resection of the tumor and postoperative radiotherapy. The resected specimen was histologically diagnosed as a pleural dissemination from thymoma. There has been no local recurrence.

(Summary) We experienced 3 resected cases of pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung. Each cases were 74-year-old man (case 1), 74-year-old woman (case 2) and 69-year-old man (case 3). Two patients (case 1 and 2) were histologically diagnosed as pleomorphic carcinoma composed of spindle cell carcinoma with giant cell carcinoma. One patient (case 3) was similarly diagnosed as pleomorphic carcinoma composed of spindle cell carcinoma with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Although lymph nodes metastasis were not recognized in all patients, invasion to vessels were recognized in 2 patients (case 1 and 3). In one patient (case 1), recurrence was recognized at contralateral side 1 month after surgery and he died of other disease 2 months after surgery. The other 2 patients were alive without recurrence 24 and 5 months after surgery. Recently it is reported that recurrence is recognized at early phase after surgery and prognosis is poor in a case with vessel invasions in spite of pathological NO state. Since one patient (case 3) had nonmetastatic lymph nodes with vessel invasions, careful observation is considered to be necessary.

(Summary) In our department, there were 482 thoracic surgeries for primary lung cancer between 1994 and 2007. We clinically reviewed cases that underwent tracheoplasty or bronchoplasty (n = 22, 4.6%). The patients consisted of 21 males and 1 female (66.5 +/- 12.0 years-old). All patients were smokers. The tissue forms were 19 squamous cell carcinomas, 2 adenocarcinomas, 1 large cell carcinoma, 1 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 carcinoid, including 2 multiple carcinomas. Sleeve resections involved the trachea in 1, upper lobes in 13, lower lobes in 3, upper-middle lobes in 2 and intermediate bronchus in 1. Wedge resections were performed in the upper lobes in 2. Fourteen reconstructions were performed. We ordinarily sutured the trachea and bronchus in any case, using a single outside knot. There was no leakage at the anastomosis. There were 2 hospital deaths. There were 4 cancer deaths, including 2 local recurrences. There were 4 patients demonstrating stenosis post operatively. There were 3 stenoses among 4 preoperative radiation therapies. We considered that radiation therapy disturbed the repair of the anastomosis. There were 8 pneumonia patients who developed post operatively. There were 2 operative hospital deaths among 3 angio-bronchoplasties without coverage. Recently, we have routinely covered the anastomosis at the reconstruction site and have not experienced any major complications.

(Summary) BACKGROUND: Thymoma is an uncommon neoplasm derived from epithelial cells of the thymus. Few studies have addressed the genetic alterations that occur in the tumourigenesis of thymoma. METHODS: We examined aberrant DNA methylation of DAP-K, p-16, MGMT and HPP1 genes in 26 thymomas and 6 thymic carcinoma to clarify the association between aberrant DNA methylation and clinicopathological features. RESULTS: Fifteen (47%) of 32 thymic epithelial tumours showed aberrant methylation. Aberrant methylation was more frequent in thymic carcinoma (86%) than in thymoma (29%). Moreover, the frequency of tumours with methylation of multiple genes in thymic carcinoma was higher than in thymoma (60% vs 20%). In thymoma, the frequency of tumour methylation, including the type A tumour component (28%), was lower than that of tumours with type B tumour component (42%). MGMT methylation was detected in 23% of thymoma and in 83% of thymic carcinoma. The frequency of methylation of the MGMT gene in both tumours was high compared with the other 3 genes. CONCLUSIONS: Aberrant DNA methylation was more frequent in thymic carcinoma than in thymoma, and the frequency of DNA methylation in thymic epithelial tumours is roughly parallel to their malignant behaviour.

(Summary) In recent years thoracotomy by "clamshell incision" has frequently been chosen for heart-lung transplantation, bilateral lung tumors and mediastinal tumor merging into lung tumor because this approach provides very good visibility to access the whole bilateral lung including the lower lobe and mediastinal organs. In our hospital, 4 patients underwent bilateral thoracotomy by clamshell incision for pulmonary metastasectomy between 2001 and 2005. All cases had bilateral pulmonary metastases, and multiple wedge resection was performed. All lesions that were planned for resection on preoperative computed tomography (CT) could be resected. Regarding the surgical approach to bilateral pulmonary metastases that did not need lobectomy, clamshell incision is one of the useful approaches that can allow wedge resection anywhere in the whole lung. In cases that are expected multiple procedures, bilateral thoracotomy by clamshell incision is recommended because it allows another route for thoracotomy at reoperation.

(Summary) Systematic nodal dissection has been recommended for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer because of its staging accuracy. However, in patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer whether systematic nodal dissection provides more benefits than mediastinal lymph node sampling or not is controversial. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effect of mediastinal lymph node sampling in patients with clinical stage I NSCLC. One hundred and nineteen consecutive patients with clinical stage I NSCLC, who underwent curative operation between January 1994 and December 2000, were retrospectively reviewed (dissection group = 58: sampling group= 61). Systematic nodal dissection was defined as complete removal of mediastinal lymph node, and mediastinal lymph node sampling was defined as removal of lymph node levels 3, 4, and 7 for right-sided tumors and levels 5, 6, and 7 for left-sided tumors. The total number of removed mediastinal lymph nodes in patients who underwent systematic nodal dissection was 22.1 +/- 9.7, which was significantly higher than that in patients who underwent mediastinal lymph node sampling of 11.4 +/- 7.0 (p < 0.001). Postoperatively N2 disease was detected in 8 patients (13.8%) in the dissection group and 7 (11.5%) in the sampling group. After the median follow up of 79 months, the cancer specific survival rate at 5 year was 78.0% in the dissection group and 76.2% in the sampling group (p = 0.60). Mediastinal lymph node sampling showed the similar effect to systematic nodal dissection in patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

118.	Kazuya Kondo : Optimal therapy for thymoma, The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI, Vol.55, No.1, 2, 17-28, 2008. (Summary) Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. This tumor is associated with unique paraneoplastic syndromes (myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, hypogammaglobulinemia, and other autoimmune diseases). The rarity of this tumor has somewhat obscured the optimal treatment. Although the histologic classification of thymoma has remained a subject of controversy for many years, the WHO classification system, published in 1999, appeared to be an advance in our understanding of thymoma. The optimal treatment for thymoma depends on its clinical stage. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for thymic epithelial tumors. Thymomas also have a high response rate to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Only surgical resection is performed for patients with stage I (non-invasive) thymoma. The value of postoperative radiotherapy in completely resected stage II or III tumors is questionable. Multimodality therapy involving surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy appears to increase the rate of complete resection and survival in advanced (stage III and IV) thymomas.

(Summary) The aim of this study was to determine whether postprocessing techniques could improve the accuracy of detecting lung nodules. A total of 154 segmented lung volumes of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) data were the subject of the study. Lung nodules were present in 88 volumes and absent in 66 volumes. We prepared four groups: (1) 7- or 10-mm thick-section axial images; (2) 1-mm thin-section axial images; (3) sliding slab maximum intensity projection (MIP) images with a slab thickness of 15 mm; and (4) sliding slab volume rendering (VR) images with a slab thickness of 15 mm. Sixteen physicians reviewed each group in interactive cine mode. The observers' performance in the detection of lung nodule was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The observers' performance of the MIP and VR groups was significantly better than in other two groups. There was no significant difference statistically between the thin and thick groups. The detectability of lung nodules is improved with the use of sliding slab MIP and VR using thin-section image data. Thin-section volume data are essential for improving diagnostic accuracy, but observation of thin-section images without utilization of image-processing techniques dose not improve diagnostic accuracy.

(Summary) Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using Talaporfin is an attractive treatment for centraltype early lung cancer. It was noted that some patients had altered levels of arterial oxygen saturation as indicated by pulse oximeter (SpO2) and arterial oxygen saturation levels in blood gas analysis (SaO2) during PDT. The present experiments were designed to provide an explanation for these findings. Methods: The influence of Talaporfin on SpO2 using in vitro and in vivo experiments, and clinically, was examined. Results: Our in vitro and in vivo experiments showed a linear relationship between Talaporfin concentration in the plasma and the SpO2 level (R = 0.9957 and 0.9837). The apparent SpO2 level decreased according to the increase of Talaporfin concentration in the plasma. In two patients with PDT, SpO2 levels at 4 6 h and 24 h after Talaporfin administration were 93% and 97%, respectively. Conclusions: Talaporfin raised blood absorbance at 660nm with a pulse oximeter. It appeared that the presence of the drug falsely decreased the level of SpO2 since SpO2 did not actually change.

(Summary) We experienced two bronchogenic cysts with severe adhesion to the trachea. Both cysts were located on the right side of the trachea. The surgical procedure was changed to thoracotomy from thoracoscopic surgery due to strong adhesion to the trachea. In case 1, sharp separation of the cystic wall from the trachea led to tracheal wall damage. In case 2, the cystic wall except a portion which was adhered to the trachea was resected. The inner side of the residual cystic wall underwent dull curettage to remove the epithelial component. There were no postoperative complications in either case.

(Summary) UFT (tegafur + uracil) has been reported to be effective as an adjuvant in postoperative chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a randomized prospective study. Thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) expression were investigated in resected tumors and the relationship between their expression and clinical factors in NSCLC patients was examined. Fifty-four NSCLC patients had undergone complete surgical resection and lymph node dissection, and had been administered UFT post-surgery. The TS and DPD expression in the tumor tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. The relationship between TS and/or DPD expression and clinicopathological factors was examined. There were 38 TS-negative and 16 TS-positive cases, and 22 DPD-negative and 32 DPD-positive cases. There was no significant difference between the patients with TS or DPD and those without TS or DPD in age, gender, histological type or p-stage. The 5-year survival rates of patients positive and negative for TS were 50.0 and 89.5%, while 10-year survival rates were 23.3 and 79.7%, respectively (p<0.001). The 5-year survival rates of TS-positive and TS-negative patients in p-stage I were 54.6 and 95.5%, while 10-year survival rates were 22.7 and 95.5%, respectively (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between DPD-positive and DPD-negative patients in prognosis. The oral administration of UFT after surgery might improve the survival of NSCLC patients when TS levels in tumor tissues are low. Immunohistochemical evaluation of TS and DPD expression may be useful for predicting the efficacy of UFT after complete resection in NSCLC.

(Summary) STUDY OBJECTIVES: It is known that chromium is one of the important inhaled carcinogens that cause lung cancer. Our previous studies revealed a variety of genetic changes in lung cancers from chromate-exposed workers (chromate lung cancer). However, the epigenetic effects of chromium are not understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated the methylation of the p16 gene using a methylation-specific PCR method in 30 chromate lung cancers and 38 non-chromate lung cancers, and the expression of the p16 protein using immunohistochemistry in 25 chromate lung cancers. RESULTS: Ten (33%) chromate lung cancers showed methylation of the p16 promoter region. On the other hand, 10 (26%) of the non-chromate lung cancers also showed it. The frequency of p16 methylation in non-chromate lung cancer was 0%, 33% and 30% for low (< or =600), moderate (<600, >1000) and high (> or =1000) Brinkman indexes, respectively. However, the frequency of p16 methylation in chromate lung cancer was constant, irrespective of the Brinkman index. In chromate lung cancer, patients with chromate exposure of less than 15 years never had p16 methylation, while 40% (> or =25 years) or 43% (> or =15, <25 years) of patients with chromate exposure of more than 15 years did. In chromate lung cancer, chromate exposure, not smoking, mainly influenced the p16 methylation. Most of the chromate lung cancers with p16 methylation (85.7%) showed repression of the p16 protein. CONCLUSIONS: We speculate that not only genetic but also epigenetic alterations are involved in the carcinogenesis due to chromium.

(Summary) A positive association between vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) expression and lymph node metastasis has been reported in several cancers. However, the relationship of VEGF-C and lymph node metastasis in some cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is controversial. We evaluated the VEGF-C and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) expression in NSCLC samples from patients who had undergone surgery between 1998 and 2002 using real-time quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining. We failed to find a positive association between VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 mRNA expression and lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. An immunohistological study demonstrated that VEGF-C was expressed not only in cancer cells, but also in macrophages in NSCLC, and that VEGFR-3 was expressed in cancer cells, macrophages, type II pneumocytes and lymph vessels. The VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 ratio of the node-positive group was significantly higher than that of the node-negative group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that VEGFR-3 was mainly expressed in cancer cells. The immunoreactivity of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 was roughly correlated to the mRNA levels of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 in real-time PCR. VEGF-C mRNA alone has no positive association with lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. The VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 ratio was positively associated with lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. This suggests that VEGF-C promotes lymph node metastasis while being influenced by the strength of the VEGF-C autocrine loop, and the VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 ratio can be a useful predictor of lymph node metastasis in NSCLC.

(Summary) In our department, there were 313 thoracic surgeries for primary lung cancer from January 1994 to December 2003. We clinically reviewed for the operative and hospital death (n=18, 5.8%). The patients were 16 males and 2 females (70.6 +/- 5.6 years old). The surgical procedures were 4 pneumonectomies, 13 lobectomies (3 bronchoplasties) and 1 partial resection. The mean interval until postoperative death was 122.5 +/- 156.1 days. There were 5 direct operative deaths within 30 days (1.6%). There were 4 cancer deaths, 2 hemoptyses, 2 operative bleeding, 2 thromboses, 2 cerebral hemorrhages, 1 pyothorax, 1 pneumonia, 1 respiratory failure, 1 multiple organ failure after chemotherapy and 2 unexplained deaths. The patients with pneumonectomy or aged significantly had high mortality. For postoperative complications such as hemoptysis or bleeding, perioperative management that takes these issues into consideration is needed. Furthermore, we must carefully review the preoperative evaluation and combined treatment, because there were many cancer deaths among cases showing early recurrence and metastasis.

(Summary) OBJECTIVE: The capability of regeneration of lung tissues in adults is limited after chronic destruction. Bone marrow-derived stem cells, retinoic acid, growth factors, and other approaches have been attempted to promote or facilitate this process. We hypothesized that fetal lung tissues, with great potential for growth and differentiation, could be used for lung regeneration. METHODS: Day 17 fetal lung tissue fragments at the pseudoglandular stage of lung development from Lewis rats were implanted into adult Lewis rat lungs. For group 1, fetal lung fragments were injected into the adult left lung parenchyma; for group 2, fetal fragments were injected with the left lung partially resected; for group 3, adult fragments were injected; and for groups 4 and 5, fetal fragments were implanted into the omentum and subcutaneous tissue, respectively. RESULTS: The grafts implanted into pulmonary parenchyma were differentiated with opening of the alveolar space after 4 weeks and were advanced further with morphologic features similar to those of neonatal lungs after 8 and 12 weeks. The implants were connected with pulmonary circulation determined by means of perfusion with India ink. These changes appeared to be further enhanced in animals with partial lung resection that might have facilitated the maturation of implanted fetal lung tissues through mechanical factors, soluble factors, or both. Fetal lung tissues did not mature when implanted into the omentum or subcutaneous tissue. Adult lung fragments did not expand after being reimplanted back into the same animal. CONCLUSIONS: Fetal lung tissue might be an option for further investigation into lung regeneration.

(Summary) OBJECTIVE: To localize small and deeply situated pulmonary nodules during thoracoscopy with roentgenographic fluoroscopy, we developed a marking procedure that uses a metallic coil. METHODS: Nine patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the removal of 11 pulmonary lesions. Fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic surgery after computed tomography-guided bronchoscopic metallic coil marking was performed with an ultrathin bronchoscope, with simulation by means of virtual bronchoscopy. During thoracoscopy, a C-arm-shaped roentgenographic fluoroscope was used to detect the radiopaque nodules. RESULTS: The marking procedure took 15 to 60 minutes from insertion to removal of the bronchoscope. There were no complications from the marking, and all 11 nodules were easily localized by means of thoracoscopy. The metallic coil showed the nodules on the fluoroscopic monitor, which aided in nodule manipulation. Nodules were completely resected under thoracoscopic guidance, except in one case in which a minithoracotomy was performed at an early stage of the trial. The pathologic diagnosis was primary adenocarcinoma in 9 patients, pulmonary metastasis from colon cancer in 1 patient, and pulmonary lymph node in 1 patient. Two cases of bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma with an invasive component and a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma were converted to open thoracotomy to perform curative lobectomy. CONCLUSIONS: In this pilot study computed tomography-guided transbronchial metallic coil marking with an ultrathin bronchoscope with virtual bronchoscopic simulation might be a useful method for the fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary nodules.

(Summary) Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are considered to be critically involved in tumor invasion and the metastasis of various cancers. MMI-166 is a selective inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-14). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of MMI-166 on both the growth of the implanted tumor and the lymph node metastasis of the mediastinum and prolonging the life span, using an orthotopic implantation model of the Ma44-3 cancer cell line. We examined the anti-invasive effect of MMI-166 in lung cancer cell lines using an in vitro invasion assay. Next, we examined the anticancer effect of MMI-166 in vivo. MMI-166 (200 mg/kg body weight) or a vehicle was administered orally to the orthotopically implanted lung cancer model. MMI-166 dose-dependently inhibited the invasion of cancer cell lines with expressions of MMP-2 and/or MMP-9 in vitro. In vivo, MMI-166 significantly inhibited mediastinal lymph node metastasis in this orthotopic model (weight of the mediastinum: control, 0.089 +/- 0.009 versus MMI-166, 0.069 +/- 0.008 mg; P = 0.005; metastatic area: control, 93,495 +/- 55,747 versus MMI-166, 22,747 +/- 17,478 pixels; P = 0.045). MMI-166 prolonged the life span by 6 days in median survival time in the orthotopically implanted model (P = 0.039). These results showed that MMI-166 could possibly inhibit lymph node metastasis and prolong the life span in lung cancer patients.

(Summary) A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of the emphysema and tumor of the right intermediate bronchus. Thoracic CT scan and bronchoscopic examination demonstrated a spherical tumor of the right intermediate bronchus covering a normal mucosa. The biopsy specimen obtained from this tumor was histologically diagnosed as "glandular type of adenocarcinoma in the bronchus". Surgical treatment was not feasible because of poor pulmonary function. Therefore, the patient underwent Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using porfimer sodium (Photofrin) and an excimer dye laser. After 4 months, the tumor disappeared and there has been no recurrence for 3 years 3 months. PDT can affect a submucosal tumor of the central airway, and is safe for patients with poor pulmonary function. Our report recommends that PDT should be applied not only to early lung cancer but also submucosal tumor of the central bronchus.

(Summary) UFT (Tegafur + Uracil) has been reported to be effective for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a randomized prospective study. Recently, many clinical studies have demonstrated that UFT is effective for cancer with a low activity of thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). In the present study, we investigated TS and DPD activity in resected tumors and corresponding normal lungs and the relationship between the activity and the mRNA expression of TS and DPD in NSCLC. Seventy-seven patients underwent complete surgical resection and lymph node dissection for NSCLC. The activity of TS was determined by the FdUMP binding assay combined with gel filtration. The activity of DPD was determined by radio-enzymatic assay. Tumor tissues and their paired non-cancerous tissues were assayed. Furthermore, the mRNA expressions of TS and DPD were examined by real-time RT-PCR. The mean TS and DPD activities in NSCLC were approximately 2.4-fold and 5-fold of those in normal lungs. The mean TS and DPD activities of NSCLC were 0.099 pmol/mg and 407 pmol/mg/min, respectively. Although both TS and DPD activities showed a tendency to be high for adenocarcinoma, there was no significant difference between TS and/or DPD activities and any clinical findings (age, gender, stage and histological type). The mRNA expression of DPD was correlated with DPD activity (rs=0.846, p<0.001). The mRNA expression of TS was weakly correlated with TS activity (rs=0.757, p<0.001). TS and DPD activities in NSCLC were higher than those in normal lungs. Assay of DPD mRNA and TS mRNA by real-time RT-PCR can be used as an indicator for the use of UFT.

(Summary) To evaluate the effects of drugs in clinical settings, an animal model of lung cancer similar to clinical cancer is necessary. Our previous studies described an SCID mouse model using orthotopic implantation of the human lung cancer cell line which mimicked the lymph node metastasis of patients with lung cancer. In this study, we made animal models that reflected various metastatic forms of lung cancer in humans. We applied our procedure to 6 lung cancer cell lines. Suspensions of 2.0 x 10(4) cancer cells were injected into the left lung of SCID mice. We evaluated the mRNA expressions of 52 proteins related to the metabolism of and resistance to anticancer drugs of each tumor cell line and its orthotopically implanted tumor using a customized cDNA array. Three lung cancer cell lines had the potential of lymphogenous metastasis and 3 cell lines had the potential of hematogenous metastasis in this model system. The A549 line showed multiple metastases, and Ma2 line showed solitary metastasis. The expression of 52 genes in each implanted tumor was closely correlated with that in each cell lines (correlation coefficients: 0.8883-0.9533), and the gradient of the regression line was more than 0.9. This model was similar to the metastatic form in patients with lung cancer. The similar expression of proteins in each tumor cell line in vitro and implanted tumor in vivo gives an advantage in evaluating the effects of molecular-targeted drugs and the relationship between specific genes and tumor potential in preclinical studies.

(Summary) We examined the antitumour effect of a combination of betulinic acid (BA) and vincristine (VCR) on murine melanoma B16F10 cells in vitro and in vivo. Betulinic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene, showed a synergistic cytotoxic effect on melanoma cells by combinational use of VCR. Betulinic acid and VCR induced cell cycle arrest at different points (BA at G1 phase and VCR at G2/M phase) and caused apoptosis in B16F10 melanoma cells. In the in vivo study, VCR inhibited metastasis of tumour cells to the lung. The addition of BA to VCR augmented suppression of the experimental lung metastasis of melanoma cells in C57BL/6 mice. The number of lung nodules of more than 1 mm in diameter in mice treated with BA and VCR was less than that in mice treated with VCR alone. These results suggest that BA is an effective supplement for enhancing the chemotherapeutic effect on malignant melanoma.

(Summary) The histologic classification of thymoma has remained a subject of controversy for many years. In 1999, the World Health Organization Consensus Committee published a histologic typing system for tumors of the thymus. We reclassified a series of 100 thymomas resected at Tokushima University Hospital and four affiliated hospitals in Japan between 1973 and 2001 according to the World Health Organization histologic classification and reported its clinicopathologic relationship and prognostic relevance. There were 8 type A, 17 type AB, 27 type B1, 8 type B2, 12 type B3, and 28 type C thymomas. The frequency of invasion to neighboring organs increased according to tumor subtype in the order A (0%), AB (6%), B1 (19%), B2 (25%), B3 (42%), and C (89%). There was no recurrence in patients with type A, AB, or B2 thymoma. The recurrence rates of patients with B1, B3, or C thymoma were 15%, 36%, and 47%, respectively. The disease-free survival rates were 100% for types A and AB, 83% for types B1 and B2, 36% for type B3, and 28% for type C thymoma at 10 years. There were significant differences in disease-free survival between types A and AB and types B1 and B2 (p = 0.0436), and between type B3 and type C (p = 0.042). By multivariate analysis, only Masaoka clinical stage (p = 0.002) showed significant independent effects on disease-free survival. The 10-year survival rates of types A and AB, types B1 and B2, type B3, and type C thymoma were 100%, 94%, 92%, and 58%, respectively. The current study confirmed the World Health Organization histologic classification as a good prognostic factor.

(Summary) Suppression of lymphatic metastasis improves survival in lung cancer patients. We have reported a patient-like model of lung cancer metastasis based on orthotopic implantation in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice and demonstrated the lymphogenous spread histologically using human NSCLC cell lines. To visualize micrometastases, we transfected the Aequorea Victoria jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene to the cancer cell line. The tumor cell lines were able to stably express GFP at high levels both in vitro and in vivo. Fluorescent tumors and metastasis of the mediastinum could be visualized at microscopic levels after transplantation. This model demonstrated that GFP gene-transfected tumor cells represent a new tool for evaluating the metastatic process and are very useful for developing chemotherapy to inhibit metastasis.

(Summary) In our previous studies, we established a lymphogenous metastatic SCID mouse model using orthotopic implantation of human lung cancer cell lines. However, the lymphogenous metastatic potential of each cell line in our models does not reflect that of a primary tumor. In this study, we made orthotopic implanted models using primary cultured cells from surgically-resected lung cancer tissues. Tissues of 5 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were applied to a primary culture method using a collagen gel coated flask. Suspensions of 2.0x10(4) cancer cells were injected into the left lung of SCID mice. We could maintain primary culture cells from 2 (FM205 and FT821 cells) of 5 lung cancers, and made orthotopically implanted SCID mouse models. The size of both tumors in implanted sites of the lung increased with time. The FM205 cells microscopically were metastasized to the mediastinum by 4 weeks after implantation and macroscopically metastasized by 16 weeks. The FT821 cells were microscopically metastasized to the mediastinum by 4 weeks after implantation and macroscopically metastasized by 6 weeks. The lymphogenous metastatic potential of these primary culture cells was similar to that of clinical tumors. As the lymphogenous metastatic potential of this model reflects that of the clinical tumor, it is useful for elucidating the mechanism of lymphogenous metastasis and selecting anticancer drugs suitable for an individual patients.

(Summary) It is known that chromium is an inhaled carcinogen and an important risk factor in the development of lung carcinoma. The authors used a microscopic X-ray fluorescence analyzer with transmitted X-ray mapping imaging (Horiba, Kyoto, Japan) to measure the accumulation of chromium in 10 resected lung tissue specimens and 90 biopsy specimens from chromate workers. The maximum chromium accumulation (mean +/- standard deviation) in 10 resected lung tissue specimens was 197 +/- 238 counts per second (cps)/mili ampere (mA) (range, 4-649 cps/mA). Chromium accumulation was scattered in six tissue specimens and diffuse in one specimen. Chromium accumulation in the proximal bronchi was less than in the bronchioles or subpleural regions of the lung. Chromium accumulation was detectable in 63 (70%) of 90 biopsy specimens, and the mean accumulation was 6.5 +/- 9.2 cps/mA (range, 0-46.5 cps/mA). Chromium detected in bronchial tissue specimens was deposited in the bronchial stroma but not in the epithelium. The maximum chromium accumulations in dysplasic (n = 3), squamous metaplastic (n = 10), and normal bronchial epithelia (n = 9) in chromate workers and in normal bronchial epithelia (n = 3) in non-chromate workers were 20.2 +/- 5.4, 18.3 +/- 12.2, 13.2 +/- 13.4, and 3.0 +/- 1.8 cps/mA, respectively. The amount of chromium accumulation significantly increased according to the progression of malignant change of the bronchial epithelium (P = 0.003). Previous studies found that lung carcinoma with chromate exposure exhibited a variety of genetic abnormalities. Considering genetic aberrations and chromium accumulation in these premalignant lesions is useful for elucidating the process of carcinogenesis in chromium-induced lung carcinoma.

(Summary) A distinction between noninvasive, invasive, and metastatic thymoma on the basis of the cytologic features is difficult. The current study investigated whether the expression of MMP and TIMP was correlated with tumor invasiveness and prognosis in patients with thymoma. Tumor tissue samples were obtained from 42 patients with thymic epithelial tumors between 1974 and 2001 at Tokushima University Hospital. Three-micrometer-thick, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections were immunostained using specific antibodies against MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2. MMP-2 expression was detected in 30 tumors (71%), and TIMP-2 expression was detected in 31 tumors (74%). MMP-9 expression was detected in 22 of 36 tumors (61%), and TIMP-1 expression was detected in only 7 tumors (19%). MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression levels were very low (10% and 0%, respectively) in noninvasive tumors but were very high (91% and 97%, respectively) in invasive tumors. In thymic epithelial tumors, the more progressive the clinical stage of tumor, the higher the strongly positive rate of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression. There was no correlation between positivity for MMP-9 and stage. Twenty-five percent of Type AB thymomas and 50% of Type B1 thymomas expressed MMP-2 and TIMP-2. Most of Type A, Type B2, Type B3, and Type C thymomas expressed MMP-2 and TIMP-2. There were significant differences in disease-free survival at 5 years between patients without and with MMP-2 expression (91% vs. 55%, respectively) and patients without and with TIMP-2 expression (100% vs. 53%, respectively). MMP-2 and TIMP-2 are key enzymes for invasiveness of thymic epithelial tumors. The expression of these proteins can predict a poor outcome in patients with thymoma.

Lymphocyte infiltration and activation play an important role in acute rejection of transplanted organs, and the dynamic change of lymphocyte subpopulations might be a marker to determine graft rejection after lung transplantation. A rat lung transplant model was used. Graft-infiltrating lymphocytes in lung tissues were examined by means of histology, and isolated cells were analyzed by means of flow cytometry. Phenotypes of lymphocytes in the regional and remote lymph nodes, spleen, peripheral blood, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were also measured by means of flow cytometry. After allograft transplantation, increased lymphocytes were seen in allografts but not in isografts. In allografts the percentage of T cells increased from day 1 to day 5, whereas that of B cells was decreased. The CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio decreased in allografts. The proportion of CD4(+)/CD45RC(-) cells increased in the allografts, which was mainly due to the increase of CD45RC(-) cells in the total CD4(+) cells. Similar changes were found in regional mediastinal lymph nodes but not in the mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, or peripheral blood. Thus this is a specific response to lung allografts. Importantly, CD45RC(-) cells were significantly increased in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Significant change of lymphocyte subpopulations is a sign of lymphocyte activation. Increased CD4(+)/CD45RC(-) cells in lung allografts could be an early marker of acute rejection, which can be examined by means of lung lavage and flow cytometry.

(Summary) The extent of lymphatic metastasis is the most important factor in the prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, suppression of lymphatic metastasis provides an improvement in survival time in lung cancer patients. We established a new patient-like model for lung cancer metastasis by orthotopic implantation in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice and demonstrated the lymphogenous spread histologically using human NSCLC cell lines. The cardinal features of this model are a simple procedure and a similarity to the metastatic form of human lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to assess the inhibitory action of uracil-tegafur (UFT) and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) on lymphatic metastasis and life span prolongation in our lymphogenous metastatic model system using SCID mice. The inhibition ratios of mediastinal lymph node metastasis were 86.2, 94, and 92.1% for 12 mg/kg body UFT, 17 mg/kg body UFT, and 10 mg/kg body CDDP, respectively. The administration of anticancer drugs prolonged the life span by 4.6 days (17 mg/kg body UFT) and 8 days (10 mg/kg body CDDP) in MST. We demonstrated that UFT alone and CDDP alone suppressed mediastinal metastasis and prolonged the life span in our lymphogenous metastatic model. Regardless of the administration route and characteristics of anticancer drugs, cytostatic or cytotoxic, our model is capable of evaluating the inhibitory effect of drugs on lymphatic metastasis. This model should make an important contribution to our understanding of the mechanism and selection of drugs for antilymphatic metastasis in lung cancer.

(Summary) An animal model of metastasis with features similar to those of lung cancer metastasis in humans is required for an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of human lung cancer metastasis. Ma-44 cell lines derived from human squamous cell lung cancer were percutaneously injected (2-3 x 10(4)) into the left lung of SCID mice. After orthotopic implantation, Ma-44 cell lines formed tumors in the left lung at a high rate (17/25, 68%), and many of those metastasized to mediastinal lymph nodes (13/17, 76%) by the 14th day, but not to other organs. After the ectopic implantation, the Ma-44 cell line inoculated subcutaneously (2-3 x 10(5)) formed a tumor at the inoculation site by the 28th day (all mice), but did not metastasize to any organs. The Ma-44 cell line inoculated intravenously (2-3 x 10(5)) formed metastases in the lungs (37/50, 74%), and these pulmonary metastases metastasized to the mediastinal lymph nodes at low rate (3/37, 8%) by the 14th day. The orthotopic sites of implantation are critical for the metastatic ability of transplanted tumors in SCID mice. Since non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) grows at the primary site in humans, lymphogenous metastasis occurs frequently, and blood-born metastasis occurs at moderate rate, our orthotopic SCID mice model was similar to the metastatic behavior of NSCLC in humans. Thus, this model may be useful for elucidating the mechanism of lymphogenous metastasis in human lung cancer, and testing the anti-metastatic efficacy of therapeutic agents in vivo.

(Summary) Thymic epithelial tumours are broadly classified into thymomas and thymic carcinomas. Although both tumours occasionally show invasive growth, they exhibit different clinical and biological findings. The oncogene and anti-oncogene in thymic epithelial tumours have not been evaluated fully. We investigated the expression of p53 protein by immunohistochemical analysis using the anti-p53 polyclonal antibody (CM-1) in 17 thymomas and 19 thymic carcinomas. We also examined p53 gene (exon 5-8) mutation in 18 thymic carcinomas by using polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism methods and direct sequencing. Of the thymoma cases, only one invasive thymoma showed focal nuclear staining. Fourteen of the 19 thymic carcinomas (74%) showed nuclear staining. Point mutations of the p53 gene were recognized in only 2 of the 18 thymic carcinomas (11%). One was the mutation C to T transition in the first letter of codon 222 in exon 6, which results in the amino acid substitution from proline to serine. Another was a silent mutation. p53 protein accumulation is highly frequent in thymic carcinomas but not in thymomas, and gene mutation is uncommon in thymic carcinomas.

(Summary) Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are frequent in lung cancers. It is suggested that p53 mutations are associated with smoking-induced lung carcinogenesis. We examined p53 mutations in 53 lung cancers by analyzing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (RT-PCR-SSCP) to ascertain the association between p53 mutations and smoking. Twenty-five (47%) of 53 lung cancers carried p53 mutations. A discriminant analysis showed that the Brinkman index (0.156) and gender (0.140) significantly influenced p53 mutations. Furthermore, there was a dose-response relationship between the quantity of cigarettes consumed and the frequency of p53 mutations in lung cancer patients (P < 0.001). In patients with adenocarcinoma, the frequency of p53 mutations correlated with the amount of the tobacco smoked (P < 0.05). We suggest that the p53 gene is a target of particular carcinogen in tobacco smoke.

(Summary) Seventy tumors of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast were examined for p53 alteration by the RT-PCR-SSCP method. Sixty-five samples (92.9%) were investigated in the regions of codons 101-200 and 201-300. In total, 16 samples (24.6%) showed p53 gene alteration. We found that p53 gene alteration showed a correlation with (1) a negative ER status, (2) a negative PgR status, and (3) a high histologic grade (especially numerous mitotic figures) of the tumor. However, we found no correlation between p53 gene alteration and the lymph node status or clinical stage. Thus, p53 gene alteration in breast cancer may occur in highly malignant breast cancer other than advanced clinical stage cancer or node-positive cancer.

(Summary) Sixty-five tumors of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast were examined for p53 alteration by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (RT-PCR-SSCP) method and sequencing analysis. In total, 16 samples (24.6%) showed p53 gene alteration. Sixteen of these alterations were evaluated by sequencing analysis, and 15 showed missense point mutations while one showed a 9-base pair deletion. In the 15 point mutations, G:C to A:T transitions constituted the majority (53%), and five tumors (33%) had a transition at the CpG site, which are mutational patterns not commonly found in breast tumors from Europe and America. On the other hand, there were no G:C to T:A transversions in our cases, which were frequently observed transversions in Europe and America. These p53 mutation patterns in breast cancer in Japan are not similar to those in Europe and America reported by Hollstein et al. and Coles et al.. These findings suggest that there are some differences between mechanisms of breast cancer in Japan and in Europe and America.

(Summary) The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (RT-PCR-SSCP) analysis and sequencing were used to examine p53 gene alterations in 18 surgical specimens of primary lung cancers obtained in Japan. Somatic mutations resulting in amino acid changes were found in eight of the 18 cases (44%). Seven missense mutations were located in amino acid-conserved domains or their vicinities (codons 110 to 307). Most mutations were found at G-C pairs, suggesting that specific carcinogens are involved in the etiology of lung cancer. The p53 mutations showed a significant association with a history of smoking (P = 0.0294). We suggest that the p53 mutations may be associated with smoking-induced lung carcinogenesis.

The distribution of interdigitating reticulum cells and S-100 beta-positive small lymphocytes., The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, Vol.14, No.12, 1139-1147, 1990. (Summary) We report an immunohistochemical study of the distribution and number of interdigitating reticulum cells (IDC) and S-100 beta-positive small lymphocytes (S-100 beta + lymphocytes) in 53 thymomas and 11 thymic carcinomas. All 53 thymomas showed the presence of IDC in the tumor parenchyma. In most cases of predominantly lymphocytic and mixed-type thymoma, IDC clustered in areas, that corresponded to locations that had medullary differentiation and contained accumulated mature lymphocytes. By contrast, in most of the predominantly epithelial-type thymomas, IDC were scattered rather than forming clusters. The distribution and number of IDC were correlation with the histological type of thymoma but not with invasiveness. In thymic carcinomas, IDC were scattered in tumor nests. In 47 of the 53 thymomas (89%), infiltrating S-100 beta + lymphocytes were readily recognized. The remaining six cases without S-100 beta + lymphocytes were noninvasive thymoma. We conclude that the degree of S-100 beta + lymphocyte infiltration is correlated with the stage of thymoma and may be a marker of thymoma malignancy.

(Summary) Immunohistochemical reactivity with OKT9 (antitransferrin receptor) monoclonal antibody was studied in 58 surgically resected adenocarcinomas of the lung. The cell surface and cytoplasm of the tumor cells were stained in 44 cases (76 percent). The expression of the transferrin receptor (TrfR) in tumor cells was compared with histopathologic prognostic factors, such as TNM factors, degree of histologic differentiation, degree of nuclear atypia, and frequency of mitotic figures. The expression of TrfR showed significant correlation with the degree of histopathologic differentiation (p less than 0.025), degree of nuclear atypia (p less than 0.025), and frequency of mitotic figures (p less than 0.001). However, there was no definite correlation with TNM factors. These results indicate that the expression of the TrfR in pulmonary adenocarcinoma corresponds to the elevated proliferative activity of the tumor cells, and that immunohistochemical reactivity with OKT9 can be used as one of the histopathologic indicators of prognosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

(Summary) In order to prevent the smoking habit, it is important to start a smoking prevention education (SPE)earlier. Implementing educational intervention with appropriate timing and content is necessary during and after the high school years when a smoking habit is easily formed. The purpose of this research was to clarify high school students' attitudes and beliefs towards smoking before and after SPE and to examine how to provide optimal SPE in the future. The subjects were 680 high school students in the A prefecture. The SPE was implemented, their attitudes and beliefs towards smoking habit were measured using a scale of``belief and attitude towards smoking habits'', and its changes were assessed before and after the education and eight months later. The scores showed significant change in negative attitude toward smoking habit immediately after the SPE. However, the survey after eight months showed the SPE effects were not maintained except one item. Gender and the presence or absence of smokers in their family was involved in the continuation of the effects of SPE. It was suggested that it is necessary to have an appropriate intervention method to the subjects' characteristics and the optimal intervention timing should be discussed and an approach to reinforce the continuance of effects of SPE are required for the SPE in the future.

(Summary) To evaluate how serum lidocaine concentrations (SLC) rise when lidocaine is administered by a Bronchofiberscopic Catheter Spray Device (BCSD), and to demonstrate the effect on the aspiration speed of a substitute for sputum when a catheter spray remains in the channel of the bronchofiberscope (BF). This is a prospective randomized clinical study. After lidocaine ultrasonic nebulizer, the BF was inserted orally. During the procedure patients received 4% lidocaine by two methods. In Group 1, 11 patients received lidocaine by bronchofiberscopic (BF) injection. In Group 2, 15 patients received lidocaine by spraying from the diameter 1.06 mm catheter through the BF channel. SLC were measured at 40 min from onset of nebulization. Separately, we examined how effectively sputum was aspirated through the BF channel with a catheter. Total lidocaine dose (TLD) is the total dose used for nebulization and for the BF injection or spray. The TLD for Groups 1 and 2 were 698.2+/-162.1 mg (mean+/-SD) and 498.7+/-103.8 mg, respectively (P = 0.03). The SLC for Groups 1 and 2 were 1.28+/-0.72 and 1.48+/-0.70 mg/l, respectively (P = 0.49). Using BCSD allows easier in administration of lidocaine and is not associated with a significant increase in SLC in comparison with BF injection. Although sputum aspiration using the BF inserted with our catheter was somewhat slow, we did not feel inconvenient so much. Compared to the conventional method, using BCSD may be preferable for patients and bronchoscopists.

Junji Ueno, Tomoya Murase, Kazuhide Yoneda, Tetsuya Tsujikawa, Shoji Sakiyama and Kazuya Kondo : Three-dimensional imaging of thoracic diseases with multi-detector row CT, The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI, Vol.51, No.3,4, 163-170, Aug. 2004. (Summary) The benefits of multi-detector row CT (MDCT) relative to single-detector row helical CT are considerable. Multi-detector row CT allows shorter acquisition times, greater coverage, and superior image resolution. These factors substantially increase the diagnostic accuracy of the examination. Three-dimensional (3D) volume data from MDCT provides various unique applications on thoracic diseases. These includes isotropic viewings, use of multiplanar reformation (MPR), maximum and minimum intensity projections (MIP and minIP), and volume rendering performed from external and internal perspectives allowing the user to "fly around" and "fly through" the structures. Recent advances in 3D volume rendering put real-time, interactive virtual reality guidance of the procedures such as bronchoscopy and surgery into practice.

Yuko Yasuhara, Hirokazu Ito, Tetsuya Tanioka, Kazuya Kondo and Rozzano De Castro Locsin : Report on the Second International Seminar and Workshop on Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences 2018, The Journal of Medical Investigation : JMI, Vol.66, No.1,2, 54-57, Feb. 2019. (Summary) The Second International Seminar and Workshop (ISW) on Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences was offered by the Rozzano Locsin Institute for Advancing the Theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing, and held from August 17- 19, 2018 at Tokushima University in Tokushima,Japan. The ISW was envisioned to provide a platform for sharing research and scholarly works into innovative design and developments on studying and applying the theory of Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences. This ISW was founded on the theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (TCCN) (Locsin, 2005). The ISW, as aimed broadened the influence of theory, research, and practice through the advancements in technology, caring, and nursing, as espoused in the theory of Technological Competency as Caring particularly within the Health Sciences. This report illuminates the contents of the ISW and its outcomes, and reveals the direction of the theory, its development, and future implications through formalized activities. J. Med.
