    Abstract Background: Pulmonary extended segmentectomy is an optional surgical treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that helps to achieve optimal surgical margins. Here, we describe a challenging instance of extended segmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery with virtual-assisted lung mapping, a preoperative bronchoscopic dye marking procedure.
    Case presentation: A 72-year-old woman presented with two tumors that were clinically diagnosed as early-stage lung cancer; extended right apical segmentectomy was indicated. Because the tumors had appeared unidentifiable intraoperatively, we performed virtual-assisted lung mapping for tumor localization and delineation of the optimal resection area. Surgery was conducted through a single port. All virtual-assisted lung mapping markings were visible. After dissection of the apical vessels and bronchi, a putative intersegmental line was determined using collateral ventilation. Based on the putative intersegmental plane identified by collateral ventilation and the virtual-assisted lung mapping markings, the resection line was delineated. Extended apical segmentectomy along the resection line was successfully performed via uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery. The postoperative course was uneventful. The pathological diagnosis was minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma in situ.
    Conclusions: Virtual-assisted lung mapping can help to achieve optimal extended segmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery.

    Abstract Background: Blunt traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is a complication of blunt diaphragmatic injury. If missed, it could lead to critical presentations, such as incarceration or strangulation of the herniated intra-abdominal organs, and thus, early surgical repair is required. Methods of the operative approach against delayed TDH remain unclear. Even with the spread of the minimally invasive approach, laparotomy has been predominantly selected for cases with hemodynamic or gastrointestinal complaints. Literature on the use of laparoscopy for repair of such cases is limited, and no study has been conducted for those with intrathoracic gastric perforation.
    Case presentation: A 55-year-old male patient with a history of multiple traumas presented with shock, followed by left hypochondrium pain and vomiting. The patient was admitted to the emergency department of our institution and diagnosed with delayed TDH complicated by intrathoracic gastric perforation, and tension empyema. Emergency surgery using laparoscopic approach was performed, despite unstable hemodynamics, considering orientation, exposure, and operativity compared with laparotomy. Repair of the diaphragm plus total gastrectomy was successfully performed by minimally invasive management. The patient made an uneventful recovery without recurrence after 8 months.
    Conclusion: Unstable hemodynamic conditions and intrathoracic gastric perforation could not be contraindications to laparoscopic repair in treating delayed TDH.

    Abstract Background: The association of treatment-induced tumor shrinkage with symptom palliation for patients with lung cancer remains unknown. We investigated this correlation using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised.
    Methods: Using the in-hospital cancer registry, we identified patients receiving chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy for newly diagnosed advanced or metastatic lung cancer. Tumor response and post-treatment Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised were obtained after 2-3 treatment cycles. Patients were divided into groups with or without >30% unidirectional tumor shrinkage (objective response [OR] or non-OR [N-OR] groups, respectively). They were further classified as good-objective response (>50% unidirectional tumor shrinkage), moderate-objective response (30-50% shrinkage), progressive disease (>20% tumor growth or new lesion) or stable disease (SD; N-objective response and non-progressive disease). The primary endpoint was change in the total Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised score from baseline. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for analysis.
    Results: In total, 113 patients were enrolled. The total Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised score was significantly more improved in the OR group versus the N-OR group (median: 5 vs. 2, respectively; P = 0.013). This association was more prominent in patients with small-cell lung cancer and large-cell neuroendocrine tumor than those with other histology. Sensitivity analyses showed that the total Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised score was more improved in the OR group versus the SD group (median: 5 vs. 3, respectively; P = 0.029) and in the 'good-OR' group versus the 'moderate-OR and SD' group (median: 7.5 vs. 2, respectively; P = 0.003), suggesting that greater tumor shrinkage led to more symptom amelioration.
    Conclusions: Tumor shrinkage was associated with Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-Revised score improvement in patients with lung cancer receiving systemic therapy.

    Abstract Background: Validating the information recorded in administrative databases is essential. However, no study has comprehensively validated the accuracy of Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) data on various respiratory diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the validity of diagnoses of respiratory diseases in the DPC database.
    Methods: We conducted chart reviews of 400 patients hospitalized in the departments of respiratory medicine in two acute-care hospitals in Tokyo, between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2021, and used them as reference standards. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of DPC data on 25 respiratory diseases were determined.
    Results: Sensitivity ranged from 22.2% (aspiration pneumonia) to 100% (chronic eosinophilic pneumonia and malignant pleural mesothelioma) and was <50% for eight diseases, while specificity was >90% for all diseases. PPV ranged from 40.0% (aspiration pneumonia) to 100% (coronavirus disease 2019, bronchiectasis, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, lung cancer of other histological types, and malignant pleural mesothelioma) and was >80% for 16 diseases. Except for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (82.9%) and interstitial pneumonia (other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) (85.4%), NPV was >90% for all diseases. These validity indices were similar in both hospitals.
    Conclusions: The validity of diagnoses of respiratory diseases in the DPC database was high in general, thereby providing an important basis for future studies.

    Abstract Herein, we report an autopsy case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in which remarkable honeycomb cyst expansion appeared in the clinical course. Radiological findings initially showed subpleural predominant reticulation that had progressed to usual interstitial pneumonia with honeycomb cysts, along with a restrictive pattern in the pulmonary function tests. The diameter of honeycomb cysts had gradually increased, and some cysts had abruptly expanded at the end stage. Based on pathological findings of autopsy specimens, bronchiectasis, alveolar collapse due to inflammation, and check-valve mechanism caused by a slit-like orifice of the cysts could have contributed to honeycomb cyst expansion.

    Abstract Background: Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is the leading cause of death among patients with IPF. However, there is no established treatment for this condition. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) for the treatment of AE-IPF.
    Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database from 1 January 2014 to 31 March 2018. We identified adult patients with IPF who received high-dose methylprednisolone (mPSL) therapy and mechanical ventilation upon admission. Eligible patients (n = 2814) were divided into those receiving high-dose mPSL alone (mPSL alone group, n = 2602) and rTM combined with high-dose mPSL (rTM group, n = 212). A stabilised inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using propensity scores was performed to compare outcomes between the two groups. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary outcomes were 14- and 28-day mortality, bleeding events and length of hospital stay.
    Results: The in-hospital mortality rates of the mPSL alone and rTM groups were 75.9% and 76.9%, respectively. The results did not significantly differ between the two groups after performing a stabilised IPTW. The odds ratio of the rTM group compared to the mPSL alone group was 1.15 (95% confidence interval: 0.71-1.84; p = 0.57). Moreover, the secondary outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups.
    Conclusions: In patients with AE-IPF who developed severe respiratory failure, rTM in addition to high-dose mPSL was not associated with a better outcome.

    Abstract Introduction: This subanalysis aimed to provide real-world data on venous thromboembolism (VTE) from patients with lung cancer in the Cancer-VTE Registry.
    Methods: The primary outcome was the number of baseline VTE events in patients with lung cancer. The 1-year cumulative incidences of symptomatic VTE; composite VTE (symptomatic and incidental VTE requiring treatment); bleeding; cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, and systemic embolic events; and all-cause death were calculated. Clinical trial registration: UMIN000024942.
    Results: The study enrolled a total of 2377 patients with lung cancer; of these, 119 (5.0%) had VTE (six [0.3%], symptomatic, and 113 [4.8%], asymptomatic) and 14 (0.6%) had pulmonary embolism at baseline. During the follow-up period (mean, 337.7 d), the incidence was 0.6% for symptomatic VTE, 1.8% for composite VTE, 1.5% for bleeding events, 1.3% for cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, and systemic embolism, and 19.1% for all-cause death. Composite VTE frequency did not vary by anticancer drug type. Patients with (versus without) VTE at baseline had higher hazard ratios (HRs) for composite VTE (unadjusted HR: 5.29; Gray test
    Conclusions: Our findings emphasize the importance of VTE screening at cancer diagnosis.

    Abstract Pulmonary amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by abnormal extracellular deposition of amyloid fibril in the lung tissue, and the identification of amyloid deposits is essential for its diagnosis. Surgical lung biopsy (SLB) is a standard diagnostic method for pulmonary amyloidosis. However, it has a relatively high post-procedural mortality rate. Recently, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has been gradually used for diagnosing interstitial lung disease. However, its diagnostic efficacy for pulmonary amyloidosis has not yet been validated. Here, we describe two cases of pulmonary amyloidosis with deposition of amyloid light chain detected via TBLC. Since SLB is a high-risk procedure for the patients due to age and complications, TBLC was performed. Both patients presented with Congo red-positive amyloid deposits. One patient with localized pulmonary amyloidosis had a good clinical course without therapeutic intervention and was followed up. The other with systemic amyloidosis received chemotherapy and presented with a stable clinical course. TBLC can collect a larger pulmonary specimen for pulmonary amyloidosis than forceps biopsy and has fewer complications and a lower mortality rate than SLB. Thus, it can be a diagnostic method for pulmonary amyloidosis.
