ABSTRACT

Respiratory symptoms are rarely reported as side effects of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and Leucovorin(FOLFOX)therapy. We report a case of a patient with FOLFOX-induced unilateral interstitial pneumonia. The patient was a 68-year-old man who underwent ileocecal resection of cecum cancer. FOLFOX regimen was started as an adjuvant chemotherapy. After the administration of 11 courses, he visited our hospital with fever, dyspnea, and anorexia. We diagnosed this as FOLFOX- induced unilateral interstitial pneumonia through a blood test, chest radiograph, computed tomography, and bronchoscopy. Treatment was started with 30 mg of prednisolone, and the dosage was gradually decreased. The patient responded well to the treatment and was discharged from the hospital without any complications on the 33th day after admission.

ABSTRACT

A 31-year-old man presented to our hospital's Emergency Department with sudden epigastric pain and vomiting. He had undergone endoscopic resection via the retroperitoneal route for a retroperitoneal tumor located in the left diaphragmatic crus of the esophageal hiatus at another hospital 8 months previously. Radiography and computed tomography showed inversion of the stomach beyond the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity, with the gastroesophageal junction serving as the fulcrum point. This finding led to a diagnosis of postoperative diaphragmatic hernia accompanied by an upside-down stomach (UDS). The prolapsed stomach in the thoracic cavity was reduced to the abdominal cavity using laparoscopic surgery. The postoperative course was favorable, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7. No recurrence has been observed in the past 5 years. The pathological condition of a UDS observed in esophageal hiatal hernias may be found in postoperative diaphragmatic hernias. Laparoscopic surgery for a postoperative diaphragmatic hernia with a UDS is considered a useful surgical procedure. Laparoscopic surgery can simultaneously confirm the viability of the herniated organs, reduce the organs to the abdominal cavity, and close and reinforce the diaphragm.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Extreme lateral interbody fusion is a minimally invasive lateral transpsoas approach for spine surgery. We herein report a case of an incisional hernia after an extreme lateral interbody fusion on the lumbar spine that was successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery with intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 78-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a complaint of left abdominal bulge and pain. She had undergone an extreme lateral interbody fusion for a lumbar spinal canal stenosis from L1 to L4 a year prior. Abdominal computerized tomography showed a left lumbar incisional hernia, and laparoscopic surgery was performed. The hernia orifice was sutured closed and covered with mesh. The patient was discharged five days after the operation with no complications. DISCUSSION: When performing XLIF for a spinal disorder, the muscles should be separated bluntly along their fibers to prevent muscle atrophy, and the incised fascia should be securely sutured closed. Abdominal wall incisional hernias can occur after spinal surgeries such as extreme lateral interbody fusion. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic repair for abdominal wall incisional hernia after spine surgery is safe and feasible.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Cryptorchidism or undescended testis is the most common disorder of male children, which is often diagnosed and treated during childhood. Adult patients with cryptorchidism are uncommon. Herein we report the case of adult inguinal hernia with cryptorchidism successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery simultaneously. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of 68 year-old-man who was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of bulge and pain in the right groin area from 2 weeks before. CT or MRI revealed a right inguinal hernia and an undescended testis in the right inguinal canal. He was diagnosed with right inguinal hernia accompanied by cryptorchidism. Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) and orchiectomy were performed simultaneously. Postoperative period was uneventful and he was discharged home on the 1st postoperative day. Pathological examination of the specimen was reported as atrophic testis with no malignancy. There has been no recurrence during a follow-up. DISCUSSION: To our Knowledge, the case report of adult inguinal hernia with cryptorchidism treated by laparoscopic surgery is rare. All cases recommended the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery. CONCLUSION: Adult inguinal hernia with cryptorchidism is a rare condition. TAPP and simultaneous laparoscopic orchiectomy for inguinal hernia with cryptorchidism were safe and feasible. It could be the first surgical option for the treatment of such adult patients.

ABSTRACT

Anemia induced by inflammation is well known to be more serious in the elderly than in non-elderly adults; however, the reason why this is so remains unclear. Neopterin produced by monocytes during inflammation promotes myelopoiesis but suppresses B-lymphopoiesis and erythropoiesis, by activating stromal cells in mice. Here, age-related changes in the erythropoietic response to neopterin were determined using senescence accelerated mice (SAMP1) with senescence stromal-cell impairment. Intravenous injection of neopterin into young mice (8-12 weeks old) resulted in a decrease in erythroid progenitor cell number in the bone marrow (BM), concomitant with an increase in myeloid progenitor cell number over one week. Intravenous injection of neopterin into aged mice (30-36 weeks old) resulted in a prolonged decrease in erythroid progenitor cell number in the BM over three weeks and a limited increase in myeloid progenitor cell number over one day. Neopterin treatment induced a decrease in serum erythropoietin concentrations in young mice but not in aged mice. The gene expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), a negative regulator of erythropoiesis, was up-regulated in the BM of both young and aged mice, and the degree of TNF-α up-regulation was the same in both groups. The gene expression of interleukin (IL)-11, a positive regulator of erythropoiesis, was also up-regulated over one day in both young and aged mice. However, IL-11 gene expression remained up-regulated thereafter in young mice, whereas it was rapidly down-regulated in aged mice. These data suggest that prolonged suppression of erythropoiesis in aged mice may be due to a decrease in the production of positive regulators rather than to an increase in the production of negative regulators. Our combined data suggest that age-related impairment of stromal cells induces serious anemia in the elderly during inflammation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: There are few reports on chemotherapy for poor prognosis terminal patients with peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer, especially in those with renal dysfunction, because of the possibility of severe toxicity. We conducted a study of the combination of docetaxel and 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of these patients to improve quality of life because of its low toxicity. METHODOLOGY: Five patients were treated in this study. All patients had a large volume of carcinomatous fluid in the abdomen, without liver or distant metastasis. The respective doses of docetaxel and 5-fluorouracil were 60 mg/m2 on day 1 and 370 mg/m2 on days 1 to 5 by intravenous infusion. Patients received this treatment 2-7 times every 2-3 weeks. RESULTS: Grade III/IV toxicity occurred, consisting of neutropenia (100%) and diarrhea (40%). No patients developed renal dysfunction. Carcinomatous fluid volume diminished for 15-96 days. Quality of life questionnaire score and performance status scale was significantly improved from 75-86 to 51-61 (p = 0.041) and 3-4 to 0-1 (p = 0.039), respectively. All patients were able to leave hospital after this treatment. Four of five patients died and median survival time was 223 days. Two of five patients achieved partial response and three patients showed no response (response rate 40%). CONCLUSIONS: This new combination therapy had benefit for terminal patients with peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer.
