    Abstract Background: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a component of multisystem organ failure that causes severe liver dysfunction in patients without underlying chronic liver disease. The patients with ALF are prone to have infections, including bacteremia. However, studies of the infectious impact for post liver transplantation (LT) in pediatric ALF are limited. We aimed to evaluate our current practice for pediatric LT cases of ALF with preoperative bacteremia.
    Methods: The records of all patients under 18 years old undergoing LT for ALF in our center from November 2005 to December 2021 were collected. They were divided into two groups: those with a preoperative bloodstream infection (BSI) and those without (NBSI). We compared the preoperative status and also reviewed the details of the BSI group. Intraoperative course and postoperative outcomes were also compared.
    Results: There were 19 BSI patients and 66 NBSI patients. One BSI case was detected on the day of LT. This patient had no changes in vital signs and general condition. After evaluation and therapeutic intervention by pediatric infectious disease specialists, LT was performed on the same day. Five cases developed septic shock at the time of detection of BSI. All BSI patients were in stable condition on the operation day with proper interventions. There were no significant differences in mortality and hospital stay between both groups.
    Conclusions: LT might be able to be performed for pediatric ALF even with positive blood cultures. In addition, appropriate therapeutic intervention by specialists and patient's stable condition before LT are essential.

    Abstract Insulin resistance is one of the pathophysiological features of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent findings have linked insulin resistance to chronic low-grade inflammation in white adipose tissue. Excess storage of saturated fat in white adipose tissue due to a modern life style causes hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipocytes, which exhibit attenuated insulin signaling due to their production and release of saturated fatty acids. These adipocytes recruit macrophages to white adipose tissue and, together with them, initiate a proinflammatory response. Proinflammatory factors and saturated fatty acids secreted into the bloodstream from white adipose tissue impair insulin signaling in non-adipose tissues, which causes whole-body insulin resistance.

    Abstract Background/aims: Detailed evaluations of overlapping constipation and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have not been conducted in Japan. The REACTION-J2 study examined the overlap of these diseases in Japan.
    Methods: This internet-based survey recruited participants from general public survey panels. Questions included demographic and medical data and assessments based on validated measures for constipation and GERD. Associations between background factors affecting constipation/GERD overlap, disease measures, and treatment were also evaluated.
    Results: Among 10 000 survey responses received, functional constipation (Rome IV diagnostic criteria) was reported by 439 participants; chronic constipation (Japanese guidelines) by 3804 participants; and subjective constipation symptoms by 2563 participants. The number of participants with constipation/GERD overlap ranged from 73 to 1533 depending on the criteria used. Regardless of the definition used, all GERD groups had significantly higher odds of being constipated than non-GERD participants: the OR (95% CI) for all 9 combinations of definitions ranged between 1.56 (1.21, 2.01) and 2.67 (2.44, 2.92) (all
    Conclusion: Individuals with constipation/GERD overlap tend to have worsened symptoms and quality of life.

    Abstract A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed an approximately 7-cm-diameter tumor in the left abdomen with metastatic lymph nodes, an approximately 1-cm-diameter round tumor in contact with the subclavian artery in the apical lobe of the right lung, and mediastinal lymph node enlargement in contact with the superior vena cava. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy revealed no abnormalities. Double-balloon endoscopy revealed a whole circumferential ulcer in the jejunum approximately 20 cm from the ligament of Treitz. Biopsy analysis of an ulcer specimen revealed a poorly differentiated carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining of the specimen showed that it was positive for thyroid transcription factor 1 and cytokeratin 7 and negative for cytokeratin 20, GATA-binding protein 3, caudal-type homeobox protein 2, and paired box 8. Positron emission tomography revealed positive findings in the small-intestinal tumor, nearby mesenteric lymph nodes, lymph nodes around the abdominal aorta, lung tumor, and mediastinal lymph node in the apical lobe of the right lung. Accordingly, the patient was diagnosed as having a lung carcinoma with small-intestinal metastasis (T1b, N3, M1c; cStage IVB). Pathological examination helped distinguish the primary small-intestinal tumor from the metastatic small-intestinal tumor and detect the tumor origin.

    Abstract A 46-year-old man, receiving continuous steroid therapy for refractory ulcerative colitis with an insufficient response to anti-tumor necrosis factor-α therapy, presented with left buttock pain. He was diagnosed with steroidal left femoral head necrosis, and total proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy was performed. At 6 months postoperatively, the patient developed general fatigue, abdominal pain, and severe ileostomy diarrhea. Computed tomography revealed continuous intestinal edema from the descending duodenal leg to the upper jejunum. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed deep ulcers, coarse mucosa, and duodenal erosion. Based on clinical progress, findings, and pathology, the patient was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis-related postoperative enteritis. Although 5-aminosalicylic acid treatment was initiated, his symptoms persisted, bloody diarrhea from colostomy was observed. Subsequently, granulocyte and monocyte apheresis treatment was added. Symptoms and endoscopic findings improved with granulocyte and monocyte apheresis. Azathioprine was introduced as maintenance therapy, and no sign of recurrence was observed. Although ulcerative colitis-related postoperative enteritis has no definitive treatment, granulocyte and monocyte apheresis may be considered for initial treatment.

    Abstract Objectives: The surgical Apgar score (SAS) is a simple score that predicts postoperative complications based on 3 intraoperative valuables. The present study evaluated the association between the SAS and postoperative outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer patients who underwent surgery.
    Methods: A total of 585 patients who underwent lung resection were enrolled in the present study. We calculated the SAS of each patient and investigated its influence on the short- and long-term outcomes.
    Results: Postoperative complications of any grade were detected in 164 cases (28%). The morbidity rate increased with decreasing SAS. When all the patients were divided into 2 groups (SAS <7 vs ≥7), postoperative complications were observed more frequently in the SAS <7 group than in the SAS ≥7 group (41% vs 25%, P < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the SAS was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications (odds ratio: 1.64 [1.03-2.61], P = 0.036). In terms of long-term outcomes, the 5-year disease-free survival (54.1% vs 73.2%, P < 0.001) and overall survival (73.8% vs 83.0%, P = 0.031) were significantly worse in the SAS <7 group than in the SAS ≥7 group. In a multivariate analysis, however, the SAS was not found to be an independent prognostic factor for either disease-free survival (hazard ratio: 1.39 [0.97-2.00], P = 0.075) or overall survival (hazard ratio: 0.90 [0.57-1.42], P = 0.642).
    Conclusions: The SAS reflected preoperative and intraoperative characteristics and was able to stratify the morbidity rate, suggesting it to be a useful predictor of short-term outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer patients who undergo surgery.

    Abstract Rationale: Diabetes causes cardiac dysfunction, and understanding of its mechanism is still incomplete. One reason could be limitations in modeling disease conditions by current in vitro cardiomyocyte culture. Emerging evidence suggests that the mechanical properties of the microenvironment affect cardiomyocyte function. Nevertheless, the impact of high glucose on cardiomyocytes cultured on substrates whose stiffness matches that of the heart (approximately 15 kPa) is untested.
    Objective: To test the hypothesis that cardiomyocytes cultured in microenvironments that mimic the mechanical properties of those for cardiomyocytes in vivo may reproduce the pathophysiology characteristics of diabetic cardiomyocytes ex vivo, such as the morphological appearance, ROS accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.
    Methods and results: Isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were seeded on 15 kPa polyacrylamide (PAA) gels, whose stiffness mimics that of heart tissues, or on glass coverslips, which represent conventional culture devices but are unphysiologically stiff. Cells were then cultured at 5 mM glucose, corresponding to the normal blood glucose level, or at high glucose levels (10 to 25 mM). Cytoskeletal disorganization, ROS accumulation, attenuated mitochondrial membrane potential and attenuated ATP level caused by high glucose and their reversal by a ROS scavenger were prominent in cells on gels, but not in cells on coverslips. The lack of response to ROS scavenging could be attributable to enhanced apoptosis in cells on glass, shown by enhanced DNA fragmentation and higher caspase 3/7 activity in cells on glass coverslips. High-glucose treatment also downregulated GLUT4 expression and attenuated insulin-stimulated glucose uptake only in cells on 15 kPa gels.
    Conclusion: Our data suggest that a mechanically compliant microenvironment increases the susceptibility of primary cardiomyocytes to elevated glucose levels, which enables these cells to serve as an innovative model for diabetic heart research.

    Abstract Objective Vonoprazan (VPZ), clarithromycin (CAM), metronidazole (MNZ) and VPZ, MNZ, and sitafloxacin (STFX) regimen are all established Helicobacter pylori eradication therapies for patients with penicillin allergy in Japan. However, no study has assessed the efficacy of a VPZ, CAM, and MNZ (VCM) regimen in patients with clarithromycin resistance (CAM-R). We therefore assessed the efficacy of a VCM regimen for treating H. pylori infection in patients with CAM-R and penicillin allergy. Methods Fifty-three patients with penicillin allergy who received H. pylori eradication therapy were retrospectively analyzed. Eight patients received a 7-day proton-pump inhibitor, CAM, and MNZ (PCM) regimen; 35 patients [11 CAM-R, and 10 with clarithromycin sensitivity (CAM-S)] received 7-day VCM regimens; and 10 patients received 7-day VPZ, MNZ, and STFX (VMS) regimens.

    Abstract Detailed evaluations of body mass index (BMI) and stool form based on the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) in individuals with constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and concomitant constipation and GERD have not been performed in Japan. This study was an internet survey conducted to examine the relationships between BMI and constipation, GERD, stool forms based on the BSFS, and education level. This internet-based survey recruited participants from general public survey panels. 10,000 individuals meeting the eligibility criteria were enrolled. Questions included demographics, medical data, and assessments based on validated measures for constipation and GERD. BMI was significantly lower in males with versus without constipation. BMI was significantly higher with GERD both males and females. Mean BMI increased from the BSFS-1/2 group through the BSFS-3/4/5 to the BSFS-6/7 groups in both sexes. BMI was highest in individuals with a maximum education level of junior high school and second highest in individuals completing high school. This is the first real-world survey that closely examines the relationship between BMI and stool forms of individuals in Japan. When the BMI increased, stool forms varied from hard to watery in Japanese people. BMI was related with education level in Japan. (Trial registration: UMIN000039688).

    Abstract Background and aims: Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (ALGIB) increase with age and the administration of antiplatelet drugs. Colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) is the most common cause of ALGIB, and endoscopic hemostasis is an effective treatment for massive CDB. But in patients without extravasation on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), the efficacy of urgent colonoscopy (UCS) is controversial from the point of the clinical course, including rebleeding rate. We aimed to establish a potential strategy including UCS for CDB patients without extravasation on CECT.
    Patients and methods: Patients from two centers treated for CDB without extravasation on CECT between July 2014 and July 2019 were retrospectively identified (n = 282). Seventy-four underwent UCS, and 208 received conservative management. We conducted two analyses. The first analysis investigates the risk factors of rebleeding rate within 5 days after administration (very early rebleeding), and no UCS (NUCS) was not the independent factor of the very early rebleeding. The second analysis is whether UCS positively influenced the clinical course after hospitalization.
    Results: The prevalence of very early rebleeding and early rebleeding (6-30 days from admission), patients requiring blood transfusion within 0-5 days and 6-30 days post-admission, and duration of hospitalization were examined as clinical course factors between UCS and NUCS group. There was no significant difference between the UCS and non-UCS groups in the clinical course factors. UCS for the CDB patients without extravasation was not improved rebleeding rate and clinical course.
    Conclusions: UCS is not necessary in case ofCDB patient without extravasation on CECT.
