    Abstract A 47-year-old woman with general malaise and abdominal pain presented with multiple liver tumors and lymph node metastasis. She was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma on the basis of a lymph node biopsy; however, the primary lesion was not identified. Finally, we diagnosed her with cancer of unknown primary lesion and placed her in the poor prognosis group. Although her general condition was poor, she experienced a relatively good response to treatment for small cell carcinoma.

    Abstract Introduction: We aimed to determine the effects of exercise on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels and concentration changes during the menstrual cycle in participants with regular menstrual cycles and no exercise habits.
    Methods: Eleven sedentary female students with regular menstrual cycles and ovulation performed bicycle exercises at 60% VO
    Results: Based on the concentration of ovarian hormones, seven individuals were finally analyzed. No significant phase difference was observed in cfDNA across all time points. cfDNA (menstrual phase:
    Discussion: The results indicate that while resting cfDNA levels are unlikely to be affected by a woman's menstrual cycle, the increase in cfDNA after exercise is higher in the ovulatory phase (when only E2 increases) and lower in the luteal phase (when E2 and P4 increase with exercise) compared to that in the menstrual phase (when E2 and P4 are in low levels), suggesting the contribution of increased ovarian hormone levels after exercise.

    Abstract Background: Pancreatic and duodenal-related complications after right colectomy carry a higher risk of mortality.
    Case presentation: A 64-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic right colectomy for a laterally spreading tumor in the cecum. On postoperative day 10, she experienced sudden hematemesis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed a large amount of hemorrhage in the stomach, but no obvious extravasation. In addition, free air was observed near the duodenal bulb. Despite blood transfusion, vital signs remained unstable and emergency surgery was performed. The abdomen was opened through midline incisions in the upper and lower abdomen. A fragile wall and perforation were observed at the border of the left side of the duodenal bulb and pancreas, with active bleeding observed from inside. As visualization of the bleeding point proved difficult, the duodenum was divided circumferentially to confirm the bleeding point and hemostasis was performed using 4-0 PDS. The left posterior wall of the duodenum was missing, exposing the pancreatic head. For reconstruction, the jejunum was elevated via the posterior colonic route and the duodenal segment and elevated jejunum were anastomosed in an end-to-side manner. Subsequently, gastrojejunal and Brown anastomoses were added. Drains were placed before and after the duodenojejunal anastomosis. Postoperative vital signs were stable and the patient was extubated on postoperative day 1. Follow-up contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen showed no active bleeding, and the patient was discharged home on postoperative day 21. As of 6 months postoperatively, the course of recovery has been uneventful.
    Conclusions: We encountered a case of pancreaticoduodenal artery hemorrhage after laparoscopic right colectomy. Bleeding at this site can prove fatal, so treatment plans should be formulated according to the urgency of the situation.

    Abstract Background: The effect of laparoscopic surgery on short-term outcomes in colorectal cancer patients over 90 years old has remained unclear.
    Methods: We reviewed 87 colorectal cancer patients aged over 90 years who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2022. Patients were divided into an open surgery group (n = 22) and a laparoscopic surgery group (n = 65). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of laparoscopic surgery on postoperative outcome in elderly colorectal cancer patients, as compared to open surgery.
    Results: Seventy-eight patients (89.7%) had comorbidities. Frequency of advanced T stage was lower with laparoscopic surgery (p = 0.021). Operation time was longer (open surgery 146 min vs. laparoscopic surgery 203 min; p = 0.002) and blood loss was less (105 mL vs. 20 mL, respectively; p < 0.001) with laparoscopic surgery. Length of hospitalization was longer with open surgery (22 days vs. 18 days, respectively; p = 0.007). Frequency of infectious complications was lower with laparoscopic surgery (18.5%) than with open surgery (45.5%; p = 0.021). Multivariate analysis revealed open surgery (p = 0.026; odds ratio, 3.535; 95% confidence interval, 1.159-10.781) as an independent predictor of postoperative infectious complications.
    Conclusions: Laparoscopic colorectal resection for patients over 90 years old is a useful procedure that reduces postoperative infectious complications.

    Abstract Retinal prostheses are devices used to restore visual sensation in patients suffering from photoreceptor degeneration, such as retinitis pigmentosa. Suprachoroidal-transretinal stimulation (STS) is a prosthesis with retinal electrodes located in the sclera. STS has the advantage that it is safer than epiretinal or subretinal prostheses, as the implant is not directly attached to the retinal tissue. We have previously reported feasibility of STS with animal experiments and clinical trials. However, functional evaluation with neurophysiological experiments is still largely missing. To estimate the spatial resolution of STS, single-unit activities in response to STS were recorded from relay cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of cats, and the response probability of the units was analyzed in relation to the distance between the stimulus location and the receptive field of each recorded unit. A platinum electrode was attached to the sclera after lamellar resection, and the return electrode was placed in the vitreous. The stimulating current, which ranged from 50 to 500 μA, was applied between these electrodes, and the probability of spike responses occurring just after retinal stimulation was measured. The distance at half-maximum of response was determined from the collected response probabilities as a function of stimulus intensity for all units characterized by their distances from the receptive field center to the stimulation point. As the stimulation became weaker, this distance decreased to 1.8° at 150 and 100 μA. As another estimation, the radius of 25% response probability was 1.4° at 100 μA. The diameter of the stimulated cat retinal area, 3.6° or 2.8°, corresponds to human visual acuity of 0.005 or 0.007, or finger counting. Considering the lower hazard to the retina of STS and its potentially large visual field coverage, STS is an attractive method for retinal prosthetic device development.
