    Abstract Various animals perform nest cleaning behaviour for breeding and keeping the hygiene of their living environment. Some fishes are also known to clean the nest for breeding and parental care, but it is unclear whether they clean it under non-breeding conditions. This study investigated the shelter cleaning behaviour of frillfin goby (Bathygobius fuscus) during the non-breeding season. All individuals of both males and females removed unknown objects (fishing sinkers) from their shelter, whereas they did not move many sinkers in the feeding area located outside the shelter. Subsequent video observation showed that fish removed sinkers using their tail fin, snout, mouth, and pectoral fins. The results suggest that frillfin goby clean their shelter even under non-breeding conditions. Furthermore, this study found that they can use pectoral fins to move objects, just like other animals use their hands and forelimbs to do so, supporting the developmental relationship between digits and pectoral fins in terms of functionality.

    Abstract Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) is often reported in cancers derived from the squamous epithelium; however, there are very few reports of HHM in patients with gallbladder cancer. We report a case of a parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-producing gallbladder cancer presenting with HHM. A 43-year-old woman presented with appetite loss, nausea, and brown-colored urine. Blood tests revealed that she had hypercalcemia, high serum bilirubin, and high serum parathyroid hormone. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a gallbladder tumor, liver metastasis, and bile duct obstruction caused by the gallbladder tumor in the hilar region. No bone metastasis was observed. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Metal biliary stents were placed, and a transpapillary biopsy of the gallbladder tumor revealed a pathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. The patient was diagnosed with HHM due to gallbladder cancer with liver metastasis. Although her hypercalcemia and jaundice improved, her appetite loss and nausea did not improve. Subsequently, the patient developed disseminated intravascular coagulation, and her general condition gradually deteriorated. Due to her poor general condition, chemotherapy could not be administered. The patient died six weeks after visiting our hospital. Although rare, some gallbladder cancers cause HHM due to PTHrP production.

    Abstract We report a case in which a large amount of intraperitoneal free gas developed during endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage with the rendezvous technique. A 62-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice caused by a pancreatic head tumor. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was attempted but failed due to difficulty cannulating the bile duct. Consequently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy was performed using a fully covered metal stent. Subsequently, the rendezvous technique was employed to access the biliary system and perform an endoscopic sphincterotomy. Finally, a fully covered metal stent was placed transpapillary. Fluoroscopic imaging during the procedure revealed a large amount of gas between the liver and diaphragm. Despite the pneumoperitoneum, the patient experienced no abdominal pain or fever. One week later, a computed tomography scan confirmed the disappearance of free air in the intraperitoneal cavity. The patient's subsequent clinical course remained uneventful, and she was discharged from the hospital. This case highlights the potential for pneumoperitoneum to develop during endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage, particularly when using the rendezvous technique. It is crucial to differentiate this finding from gastrointestinal perforation based on clinical presentation and imaging features.

    Abstract Abstract: 99mTc-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanedicarboxylic acid (DPD) scintigraphy and 99mTc-pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy are highly sensitive modalities for imaging both myocardial and extracardiac amyloid transthyretin in patients with wild-type transthyretin (ATTRwt) amyloidosis. "Loss of bone signal" on planar imaging of 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy, in which the tracer uptake in bone is obscured by marked tracer uptake in the overlying skeletal muscles, is reported. However, this phenomenon has not yet been documented on 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy. We describe an 89-year-old woman with ATTRwt amyloidosis in whom "loss of bone signal" together with marked tracer uptake into the skeletal muscles was clearly demonstrated on 99mTc-PYP scan.

    Abstract Background: Anastomotic recurrence of colorectal cancer is rare, but reoperation improves prognosis. However, there is no clear evidence regarding the extent of dissection, and there are few reports on the details of surgery. We used intraoperative lymphatic flow imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence as a reference to determine the range of additional resection.
    Case presentation: The patient was a 75-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and extracorporeal functional terminal anastomosis for ascending colon cancer 4 years ago. Histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, T4aN0M0, pathological stageIIB. During follow-up, anemia was observed, and colonoscopy indicated anastomotic recurrence, so additional laparoscopic resection was performed. Intraoperatively, ICG was injected into the anastomotic site, and the operation proceeded under near-infrared light observation. Lymphatic vessels along the middle colonic artery were visualized down to the root of the vessel. Using this as an indicator, the vessel was ligated from the root. Using the fact that the lymphatic vessels were also depicted in the small intestinal mesentery on the oral side of the anastomosis as an indicator, the small intestine and mesentery were resected about 7 cm from the anastomosis.
    Conclusions: The optimal surgical approach for anastomotic recurrence of colorectal cancer has not been defined. Intraoperative ICG fluorescence imaging can provide images of lymphatic flow from the site of recurrence and may be an indicator of lymph node dissection in the case of anastomotic recurrence.
