ABSTRACT

Successful resection of intra-abdominal tumors using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has not been reported. Here, we report a rare case of an intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis successfully resected using this technique after intersphincteric resection (ISR) for rectal cancer. One year after ISR for rectal cancer in a 47-year-old man, computed tomography showed a 50-mm intra-abdominal tumor near the left common iliac vein. Surgical resection was performed. The tumor was located in the mesentery of the remnant rectum after ISR. ICG fluorescence imaging confirmed the blood supply to the mesentery of the distal remnant rectum after tumor excision. The anal canal was successfully preserved without creating a permanent colostomy. The tumor was safely resected with resection margins, diagnosed as desmoid-type fibromatosis. No tumor recurrence was observed 6 months post-resection. This was the first case report to demonstrate the utility of this technique for an intra-abdominal tumor resection.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The risk factors for recurrence in patients with pStage Ⅱ colorectal cancer still remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for recurrence after surgery in patients with pStage Ⅱ colorectal cancer. METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed 311 patients with primary pStage Ⅱ colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection without neoadjuvant therapy at our institute between January 2014 and December 2019. RESULTS: Of 311 patients, 32 patients(10.3%)developed recurrences after surgery at a median follow-up of 32.9(0.23-74.2)months. The 3-year and 5-year recurrence-free survival(RFS)rate was 88.4% and 87.6%, respectively. A multivariate analysis for RFS showed that only pT4 (HR: 4.06, 95%CI: 1.60-10.29, p=0.003) was an independent risk factor. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that pT4 was an independent risk factor for recurrence after surgery in patients with pStage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT

Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is a central prostanoid in the cardiovascular system and is a crucial mediator of vascular homeostasis and platelet aggregation. In this study, we report a novel role for TXA2 in neurite outgrowth. TXA2 receptor is expressed in rat cortical neurons, and treatment with the TXA2 agonist U-46619 promotes neurite outgrowth in a concentration-dependent manner. We investigated the molecular mechanism underlying U-46619-induced neurite outgrowth in cortical neurons. Blockade of the phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) prevents U-46619-mediated neurite outgrowth. These data indicates that TXA2 functions as a positive regulator of neurite outgrowth via a mechanism dependent on MAPKs in cortical neurons.

ABSTRACT

The interaction of neurons with their non-neuronal milieu plays a crucial role in the formation of neural networks, and wide variety of cell-contact-dependent signals that promote neurite elongation have been identified. In this study, we found that vascular endothelial cells promote neurite elongation in an integrin ß3-dependent manner. Vascular endothelial cells from the cerebral cortex promoted neurite elongation of cortical neurons in a cell contact-dependent manner. This effect was mediated by arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), a major recognition sequence for integrins. Pharmacological blockade of integrin ß3 abolished the neurite elongation effect induced by the endothelial cells. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that integrin ß3 was expressed on cultured cortical neurons. These results demonstrate that the neurite elongation promoted by vascular endothelial cells requires integrin ß3. Vascular endothelial cells may therefore play a role in the development and repair of neural networks in the central nervous system.
