    Notes: 1. The effects of ischaemic preconditioning (IP) on renal function, haemodynamics and lipid peroxidation in the rat ischaemia–reperfused kidney model were examined.2. In Wistar male rats, application of a single or three periods of 5 min bilateral renal ischaemia was performed prior to 30 min bilateral ischaemia and 90 min reperfusion (IR). The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated in terms of inulin clearance. Fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) and lithium (FELi), indicating total and proximal tubular sodium handling, respectively, was also measured and renal blood flow was monitored throughout the experiment. In addition, renal lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in reperfused kidneys were evaluated.3. A 2.8-fold increase in recovery of GFR (P 〈 0.005), a 50% reduction in FENa (P 〈 0.005) and a 40% decrease in FELi (P 〈 0.05) after IR resulted from the single period of 5 min IP. Renal blood flow was also higher than that in the control group (P 〈 0.01). No change of LPO levels was observed.4. We conclude that IP may have an ability to ameliorate reperfused renal function and haemodynamics with a suitable period of preconditioned ischaemia, although this effect is independent of LPO.

    Notes: Abstract To clarify the presence of depressed adenomas in the human large intestine, a prospective study was performed from January 1986 to December 1987. During these two years, 997 colonoscopies were conducted in patients, bdexcluding cases of familial adenomatosis coli. Of 32 small, depressed lesions biopsied, seven were depressed adenomas, demonstrating that depressed adenomas do exist in the colon and rectum, and can be detected endoscopically. Resembling a sucker, they are easily detected through inflation and deflation.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of many flat early cancers that have been discovered during the last decade led us to recognize that a flat route of cancer development de novo is as important a route as the polypoid one. We aim to prove through a longitudinal study that these flat early cancers indeed develop in flat mucosa and not in an adenomatous polyp. METHODS: From January 1, 1990, to July 31, 1994, 554 patients underwent at least two colonoscopies. These patients consisted of 364 males, and average age was 59 years. We searched for flat early cancers developing in polyp-free colorectal mucosa on or after a second colonoscopy. Polyp-free mucosa here means an intestinal segment proved to possess no adenomatous polyp during the preceding colonoscopies, irrespective of the presence of polyps else-where. RESULTS: Four flat early cancers were found developing in polyp-free colonic mucosa in four patients. Average age of the patients was 67 years. Locations of the cancers were the transverse (3) and descending colons (1). The shapes were all depressed, and average size of the lesions was 11 mm. Two lesions were endoscopically resected, and two by surgery. CONCLUSION: These four depressed cancers developing in polyp-free mucosa show that flat early colorectal cancers do arise de novo and not from an adenomatous polyp having collapsed on itself.

    Notes: Abstract The unusual occurrence of an “inside-out” appendix reported here is a case of complete intussusception of the appendix of a 45-year-old woman with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in whom the diagnosis of intussusception was made preoperatively. At laparotomy, the lead point of intussusceptum was revealed to be a Peutz-Jeghers syndrome polyp of the appendix. There was also a cystic lesion in the pancreas, and subsequent distal pancreatectomy revealed a cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Two jejunal Peutz-Jeghers syndrome polyps and two duodenal Peutz-Jeghers syndrome polyps were foundvia intraoperative endoscopies. The duodenal polyps were endoscopically removed, whereas a jejunal wedge resection was performed for the adjoining jejunal polyps. One of the two duodenal polyps possessed an adenocarcinoma focus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of complete intussusception of the appendix caused by a Peutz-Jeghers syndrome polyp.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Early gastric cancer (EGC) often coexists with peptic ulcer. In this study we investigated the roles of peptic ulcer in the carcinogenesis and extension of gastric cancer. Methods: The clinicopathological characteristics of EGC and peptic ulcer and their relationship, as well as that of the background intestinal metaplasia, were compared among the following three groups: patients with peptic ulcer only inside the EGC (Contained group, 53 patients); patients with peptic ulcer only outside the EGC (Separate group, 26 patients); and patients of EGC with no peptic ulcer (Absent group, 43 patients). Results: In the Separate group, a male preponderance was observed (P = .006), and all EGCs developed in the middle or lower third of the stomach (P = .06). Most of the EGCs were an intestinal type of cancer with severe background intestinal metaplasia. Topographically, 88% of the peptic ulcers in the Separate group developed proximal to the EGC. On the other hand, in the Contained group, most EGCs developed in the middle third of the stomach with an intestinal/diffuse type ratio of 1:1. Peptic ulcers inside the EGC were significantly more shallow than those that developed outside the EGC (P = 0.008). Although the incidences of submucosal cancer were nearly the same among the three groups, the maximum cancer diameter tended to be increased in the Contained group compared to that in the Absent group, and the incidence of lymph node involvement tended to be higher in the Contained group (8%) as compared with the other two groups (4%–5%). Conclusions: These results suggest that peptic ulcer outside the EGC contributes to the development of the intestinal type of EGC, with the background of more severe intestinal metaplasia during the peptic ulcer healing processes, whereas peptic ulcer inside the EGC develops secondary to EGC and favors cancer extension and metastasis. Peptic ulcer associated with EGC can be considered to exert different biological roles in the carcinogenesis or extension of ECG according to the location of the peptic ulcer.

    Notes: Background. The phenotypic expression of tumor cells is widely thought to resemble that of the tissue of origin. In the present study, to assess phenotypic changes that occur with disease progression, we investigated human differentiated gastric cancers at different depths of invasion for component cancer cell types. Methods. Using a combined mucin histochemical and immunohistochemical approach, we classified surgical specimens of 301 differentiated gastric cancers into three types: gastric epithelial cell (G) type, intestinal epithelial cell (I) type and mixed gastric and intestinal (GI) type, according to the phenotypic differentiation of the component cancer cells. The relation between the phenotypic type of cancer and their depth of invasion was evaluated. Results. The proportion of G type cancers was 41.4% in early (tumor invasion of mucosa or submucosa) cases, decreasing to 22.2% in advanced (tumor invasion of muscularis propia or deeper) cases, whereas the proportion of I type cancers increased with progressive disease from 23.5% to 31.1% (P 〈 0.01). Cancers invading the subserosa or deeper included more I type cases and fewer G type than cancers limited to the mucosa (P 〈 0.01). In most cases of each phenotypic type, intestinal metaplasia was recognized in the surrounding background mucosa, but no clear relation was shown between the phenotype of cancers and the degree of intestinal metaplasia in the background mucosa, suggesting that intestinal metaplasia is not always a preneoplastic lesion. Conclusions. A phenotypic shift from G to I type expression was observed with the progression of human differentiated gastric cancers. Intestinalization may occur independently in cancerous and noncancerous gastric mucosa.

    Notes: Abstract We investigated the functional and morphological aspects of acid secretion in 6 patients with post-bulbar duodenal ulcer and compared the findings with the events of 40 patients with the usual chronic duodenal ulcer. The post-bulbar ulcer patients showed a much higher acidity, and a biphasic, prolonged acid secretion pattern, presumably representing an enhanced parietal cell function. Histological study of antrectomized specimens revealed that 4 of those with the post-bulbar ulcer had a small antrum in which the fundic gland area expanded distally. The proximal border of the pyloric gland area was within 4 cm of the pylorus. This would suggest the presence of a large parietal cell mass. On the contrary, however, there was no such instance in those patients with the usual duodenal ulcer. Hyperacidity, due to a large parietal cell mass and an enhanced parietal cell function, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of post-bulbar duodenal ulcer.

    Notes: Abstract A 49-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of epigastric colicky pain and high fever. Abdominal computed tomography and ultrasonography showed a solid tumor in the lower abdomen. Laparotomy revealed a neoplastic mass arising in Meckel's diverticulum; therefore, a segment of the ileum, including the tumor-possessing diverticulum, was resected with a lymph node dissection. A histologic examination confirmed the lesion to be leiomyosarcoma. In the English literature, 59 cases of leiomyosarcoma in Meckel's diverticulum were reported from 1941 to 1994. The majority of patients were in their 4th decade of life, with both sexes equally affected. The most frequent symptoms associated with this disease were abdominal pain with nausea, vomiting, and melena. The majority were larger than egg-size. Although Meckel's diverticulum is difficult to diagnose preoperatively, mesenteric arteriography may at times prove useful. The standard management of this particular tumor is wide segmental resection, including the tumor and diverticulum with lymph node dissection.
