    Notes: The present paper demonstrates that a nonstntggling slaughter method can delay degradation of type V collagen in meat of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus and softening of the meat during postharvest chilled storage. The fish were slaughtered by piercing a knife into nape (nonstruggling method) or by leaving on ground (struggling method) and then stored in an ice box. Sensory study revealed that the postharvest softening of the meat was moderated at 4 and 8 h by the non-struggling slaughter method in comparison with the struggling method. On the basis of the specific solubilization of type V collagen and reduced tyrosine content in it, a cleavage of the nonhelical regions (telopeptides) of the type V collagen occurred during the chilled storage in the fish slaughtered by the struggling method. The degradation of type V collagen was also slower in the meat of the fish slaughtered by the nonstruggling method, which can be directly linked to the moderation of the postharvest softening.

    Renal Fossa Recurrence of a Renal Cell Carcinoma 13 Years after Nephrectomy: A Case Report (1997)

    Notes: Between 1980 and 1995, we performed a nephrectomy with curative intent on 183 patients with renal cell carcinoma at Nagoya University Hospital. Among these patients, 5 (2.7%) developed renal fossa recurrence (median follow-up, 65 months). We report a case of such a recurrence found 13 years after a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (stage pT3a, pNO, MO). A 62-year-old female presented with a nodule on her back. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right back and retroperitoneum, and a biopsy revealed the tumor to be a renal cell carcinoma. Complete resection was performed, followed by administration of a-interferon. The patient is doing well 16 months after the operation. The case illustrates that very long-term follow-up after a nephrectomy is mandatory for patients with perinephric invasion of a renal cell carcinoma due to the risk of renal fossa recurrence.

    Diagnosis of Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Using Diagnostic Imaging in Primary Breast Cancer Patients (2005)

    Notes: Abstract:   Advances in the therapeutic agents used for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have recently achieved higher response rates and induced a greater number of pathologic complete responses (pCR) than ever before. The aim of this study is the diagnosis of pCR after NAC by diagnostic imaging of clinical complete response (cCR) patients. This study included 35 breast cancer patients who demonstrated cCR after receiving NAC with a combination of anthracycline and taxane from May 1998 to August 2003. Surgical treatment included breast-conserving therapy followed by radiotherapy or mastectomy. The identity of post-NAC lesions as either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) were made by mammography, ultrasonography, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Among the 35 patients, 11 achieved pCR, including the disappearance of both invasive and intraductal components. Of the patients achieving pCR, eight were defined as CR and three were determined to be PR by CT. There was a significant relationship between the pCR and the determination of CR by CT. The determination of CR by ultrasonography was indicative of the disappearance of pathologic invasive components. While mammography appeared to reflect the observed histologic results, we did not observe any statistical differences. A subset of cases exhibited discrepancies between the imaging and pathologic results, likely due to the replacement of destroyed tumor cells by fibrosis and granulomatous tissue. The evaluation of CR by CT was significantly indicative of pCR. The positive predictive value, however, was not large enough to avoid surgical treatment. Further studies will be needed to establish a diagnosis of pCR.

    Notes: Abstract Isolated dislocation of the proximal or distal interphalangeal joint of a finger is common, but simultaneous dislocation of both joints is rare. Three cases of simultaneous dislocations of both interphalangeal joints in the same finger are reported. Closed reduction was easily achieved in all cases.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of, and risk factors for psychological distress following first recurrences of breast cancer. Patients and methods: The sample was drawn consecutively from the inpatient and outpatient populations of the National Cancer Center Hospital in Japan during an 18-month period from July 1996 to December 1997. Of the 56 eligible patients, 55 women aged 30–73 year with recurrent breast cancer participated in the study. The prevalence of psychological distress, including major depressive disorder and adjustment disorders was evaluated according to the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third edition-revised (DSM-III-R). Risk factors for psychological distress were analyzed with a logistic regression model. Results: Of the 55 subjects, 42 met the DSM-III-R criteria for major depressive disorder or adjustment disorders. Major depressive disorder was seen in 4 (7%), and adjustment disorders in 19 (35%). Logistic regression analysis showed that a disease-free interval of less than 24 months significantly predicted a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or adjustment disorders (odds ratio 5.28, 95% confidence interval; 1.28–21.8, p=0.02). Conclusions: These results suggest that it is important for all oncology staff to pay careful attention to the psychological health of patients who have been informed of their cancer recurrence, and that some psychosocial intervention is necessary for preventing distress in patients facing early recurrence.
