    Abstract Although a 74-year-old man with gastric cancer with pyloric stenosis(cT4aN[+]M0, Stage Ⅲ)had undergone surgery, he was diagnosed with peritoneum dissemination. He received bypass surgery, and an intraperitoneal access port was implanted in his subcutaneous space. Postoperatively, he received 4 courses of SOX therapy. In treatment effect, the primary tumor showed no change, and ascites developed. Therefore, we changed the chemotherapy regimen in intravenous and intraperitoneal paclitaxel combined with S-1 therapy. After starting this regimen, the primary tumor decreased in size, and the pyloric stenosis improved. Currently, the patient is alive without recurrence for 5 years and 8 months after intravenous and intraperitoneal paclitaxel combined with S-1 therapy and receiving this treatment regularly.

    Abstract Background: Antineoplastons are naturally occurring peptides and amino acid derivatives found in human blood and urine. Antineoplaston A10 and AS2-1 reportedly control neoplastic growth and do not significantly inhibit normal cell growth. Antineoplastons contain 3-phenylacetylamino-2, 6-piperidinedione (A10), phenylacetylglutamine plus phenylacetylisoglutamine (A10-I), and phenylacetylglutamine plus phenylacetate (AS2-1). This open label, non- blinded randomized phase II study compared the efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) with 5-fluorouracil,with or without antineoplastons as a postoperative therapy for colorectal metastasis to the liver.
    Methods: Sixty-five patients with histologically confirmed metastatic colon adenocarcinoma in liver, who had undergone hepatectomy, and/or thermal ablation for liver metastases were enrolled between 1998- 2004 in Kurume University Hospital. Patients were randomly assigned to receive systemic antineoplastons (A10-I infusion followed by per-oral AS2-1) plus HAI (AN arm) or HAI alone (control arm) based on the number of metastases and presence/ absence of extra-hepatic metastasis at the time of surgery. Primary endpoint was cancer-specific survival (CSS); secondary endpoints were relapse-free survival (RFS), status and extent of recurrence, salvage surgery (rate) and toxicity.
    Findings: Overall survival was not statistically improved (p=0.105) in the AN arm (n=32). RFS was not significant (p=0.343). Nevertheless, the CSS rate was significantly higher in the AN arm versus the control arm (n=33) with a median survival time 67 months (95%CI 43-not calculated) versus 39 months (95%CI 28-47) (p=0.037) and 5 year CSS rate 60% versus 32% respectively. Cancer recurred more often in a single organ than in multiple organs in the AN arm versus the control arm. The limited extent of recurrent tumours in the AN arm meant more patients remained eligible for salvage surgery. Major adverse effects of antineoplastons were fullness of the stomach and phlebitis. No serious toxicity, including bone marrow suppression, liver or renal dysfunction, were found in the AN arm.
    Interpretation: Antineoplastons (A10 Injection and AS2-1) might be useful as adjunctive therapy in addition to HAI after hepatectomy in colorectal metastases to the liver.

    Abstract Aim: In treating liver tumors, preserving hepatic reserve and reducing surgical invasiveness are important for minimizing postoperative complications. Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) is reported to selectively induce heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70), which initiates a powerful cytoprotective effect. We investigated the function of HSP70 under conditions of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the liver.
    Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a group administered GGA, and a group administered GGA plus quercetin, an HSP70 synthesis inhibitor. Expression of HSP70 and heat-shock factor-1 (HSF1) in the liver was measured at the protein level, and severity of liver damage was investigated using serum and hepatic tissue.
    Results: The GGA-treated group had higher expression of HSP70 and HSF1 than the other groups. Peak liver damage in all groups occurred 6 h after RFA. The GGA-treated group also had significantly less liver damage and lower serum level of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α, and a lower rate of apoptosis in tissue around post-ablation necrosis. Expression of HSP70 and HSF1 was suppressed in the group treated with GGA and quercetin, and this group had severe liver damage.
    Conclusion: Induction of HSP in the liver by GGA may be applicable in future treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma or liver metastasis. The present findings suggest that if preoperative administration of GGA can offer protective effects in the liver, treatment options could be increased and liver failure and other complications might be avoided.

    Abstract Purpose: The prospective pilot study was designed to evaluate the preventive effects of amino-acid-rich elemental diet (ED), Elental(®), on chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with colorectal cancer. The factors influencing its efficacy are also investigated.
    Methods: A total of 22 eligible patients with colorectal cancer experiencing grade 1-3 oral mucositis during treatment with fluorouracil-based chemotherapy entered the current study. Their average age was 67 years. There were 10 male and 12 female. The PS was 0 in the majority of patients. Patients received two courses of the same chemotherapy regimen and Elental(®) concurrently after recovery to grade 0 or 1 oral mucositis.
    Results: FOLFOX6 + bevacizumab in 8 patients, FOLFIRI + bevacizumab in 8 patients, FOLFIRI + panitumumab in 1 patient, FOLFIRI in 1 patient, XELOX + bevacizumab in 2 patients, and S-1 + cetuximab in 2 patients were used as first-line (16 cases) or as second-line (6 cases) chemotherapy. Dose reduction of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or oral fluoropyrimidine was performed in the 2 patients achieving grade 3 oral mucositis and in the 3 patients achieving grade 2 oral mucositis. The maximum grade of oral mucositis decreased in 18 of the 22 patients during the first treatment course with Elental(®) (p = 0.0002) and in 20 of the 22 patients in the second course (p < 0.0001). Multivariate analyses found that the dose reduction in 5-FU or oral fluoropyrimidine, ED intake, and the prior administration of ED were each a significant factor for the preventive efficacy on oral mucositis.
    Conclusion: The amino-acid-rich elemental diet Elental(®) may be useful as a countermeasure for 5-FU-based chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with colorectal cancer.

    Abstract 60-year-old woman was referred to us for epigastralagia under the diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. Cholecystectomy was performed, and gallbladder carcinoma was pinpointed by postoperative pathological diagnosis. Because liver invasion should have been detected by pathological diagnosis, we conducted liver S4a+S5 resection, extrahepatic bile duct resection and D2 lymphadenectomy. The pathological diagnosis was advanced gallbladder carcinoma with liver metastasis. We treated a patient with curative operation and hepatic arterial infusion adjuvant chemotherapy by low-dose FP therapy for advanced gallbladder carcinoma, and she is doing well now without disease recurrence eight years after surgery.

    Abstract A 55-year-old man with rectal carcinoma underwent lower anterior resection. Eight years after surgery, multiple metastases were detected in the liver, lung, and abdominal lymph nodes. The metastatic cancers were resistant to standard chemotherapy. Thus, regorafenib was administered to the patient. The patient presented symptoms of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) nine days after regorafenib administration, and hence, treatment was terminated. To treat SJS, he received oral and topical steroid therapies. SJS is an important adverse event that hinders the continuation of regorafenib treatment. Thus, it is necessary to continually check the patient's skin condition carefully, especially at early stages of treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SJS arising during the course of regorafenib treatment.

    Abstract In adenocarcinoma of the small intestine, delays in diagnosis are frequent, and the majority of patients present with advanced- stage disease and either lymph node involvement or distant metastatic disease. Surgical resection is a mainstay in treatment of this disease, but the role of adjuvant therapy is unclear. Recent retrospective and prospective studies have helped to clarify the optimal chemotherapy approach for advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma. The combination of capecitabine and oxaliplatin is reportedly highly effective. Further clinical studies on this rare type of tumor are needed. This article reviews the focuses on recent advances in management. The 72nd Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum have conducted a retrospective review of Japanese patients with adenocarcinoma of the jejunum or ileum. The data indicated that although not statistically significant, there was a trend in median overall survival favoring the chemotherapy for advanced jejunal or ileal adenocarcinoma (17 months vs. 8 months, p=0.114).

    Abstract Background/aim: Heat-shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low molecular weight stress protein, is recognized as a molecular chaperone. The expression of HSP27 has been detected in some human tumors and while HSP27 is phosphorylated as a reresponse to stress, the function of phosphorylated HSP27 (p-HSP27) is not known. The aim of this study was to investigate what kind of effect expression of HSP27 and p-HSP27 in HCC has on clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.
    Materials and methods: An immunohistochemical study for HSP27 and p-HSP27 was performed on 194 resected HCC cases. We analyzed the correlation of HSP27 expression with various parameters statistically.
    Results: There was no correlation between expression of HSP27 and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis from the analysis of 194 cases. From the analysis of the hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive group of 142 cases, those that were p-HSP27-positive had a larger tumor diameter and the portal vein invasion rate was high.
    Conclusion: The expression of total HSP27 may serve as a new, clinically useful marker of HCC. In addition, the present study suggests that the expression of phosphorylated HSP27 is useful in the screening and grading of HCC occurring in the setting of HCV.

    Abstract Clinically available synthetic ePTFE vascular grafts frequently fail when used for small-diameter arterial substitution. The lower long-term patency of ePTFE grafts is due mainly to thrombogenicity and poor healing. We developed a new small-diameter (1.5-mm) ePTFE vascular prosthesis coated with polyamino-acid urethane copolymer (PAU) to enhance endothelialization. Coating with PAU made the hydrophobic ePTFE vascular graft hydrophilic. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed that PAU was homogeneously coated on the ePTFE graft while maintaining the graft's porous structure. Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectra showed PAU was present on graft inner surfaces. Noncoated and PAU-coated ePTFE vascular grafts were implanted into the rat abdominal aorta and evaluated within 1 week and at 8 weeks after implantation. We evaluated the extent of neoendothelialization by SEM, light microscopy, and immunohistochemical staining. Noncoated grafts showed partial endothelialization at proximal and distal areas of grafts but none at midsection. One-percent PAU-coated grafts showed incomplete neoendothelialization, but endothelial cells were observed in the midsection of grafts. Three-percent PAU-coated ePTFE grafts showed complete endothelialization with typical endothelial cell layers under SEM and histologic observation. Immunohistochemical staining also showed that an endothelial cell lining positively reacted with anti-von Willebrand factor (endothelial cell marker) antibody. We conclude that PAU-coated ePTFE vascular grafts enhance endothelialization.

    Abstract Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the preventive effects of elemental diet Elental (ED) on chemotherapy-induced stomatitis in patients with colorectal cancer.
    Materials and methods: A total of 23 patients with colorectal cancer experiencing grade 1-3 stomatitis during treatment with chemotherapy (2- or 3-week per cycle) entered the current study. Their average age was 67 years, ranging from 44 to 84 years.
    Results: A total of 22 patients received the same chemotherapy regimen, but also received more than 80 g of Elental (ED) (including 1, 932 mg of L-glutamine), per day. FOLFOX, FOLFIRI or XELOX-based chemotherapy was used. A dose reduction of 5-FU, capacitabine or S-1 was performed in 5 patients who experienced grade 2 or 3 stomatitis. The maximum grade of stomatitis decreased in 18 of the 22 patients after the first treatment course, and decreased in 20 of 22 patients after the second course with ED.The preventive efficacy of ED on stomatitis was noted in a dose-dependent manner.Similarly, the maximum grade of neutropenia decreased in 10 of 11 patients after their first or second treatment course with ED.
    Conclusion: We conclude that ED can significantly decrease the severity of chemotherapy-induced stomatitis in colorectal cancer patients in association with the control of neutropenia.
