    Abstract: Decompensated liver cirrhosis (LC) can negatively affect the outcome of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ERCP in patients with clinically defined compensated and decompensated LC. METHODS In a single tertiary hospital, 146 endoscopic sphincterotomy‐naive patients with LC who underwent ERCP between 2005 and 2016 were reviewed. Patients with LC who had experienced variceal bleeding, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy were included in the decompensated LC group. Cannulation, technical and clinical successes, and major post‐ERCP adverse events including bleeding, pancreatitis, cholangitis and perforation were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Patients were divided into compensated and decompensated LC groups. Their baseline characteristics were not different, except for comorbid malignancy (22.3 % vs 38.5%, P = 0.038) and preprocedural transfusion (7.4% vs 36.5%, P 〈 0.001). The cannulation (97,9% vs 94.2%, P = 0.348) and technical (95.7% vs 88.5% , P = 0.167) success rates were not different. The clinical success rate was lower in the decompensated LC group (95.7% and 78.8%, P = 0.003), mainly due to comorbid hepatobiliary malignancy. Post‐ERCP pancreatitis (6.4% vs 30.8%, P = 0.008) and cholangitis (18.1% vs 32.7%, P = 0.046) rates were higher in the decompensated LC group. CONCLUSIONS Despite lower clinical success rates due to comorbid hepatobiliary malignancy, ERCP in patients with decompensated LC is technically feasible. Because postprocedural cholangitis and pancreatitis are more frequent in patients with decompensated LC, greater procedural precautions are needed in these patients.

    Abstract: Radiologically identified para-aortic lymph node (PALN) metastasis is contraindicated for pancreatic cancer (PC) surgery. There is no clinical consensus for unexpected intraoperative PALN enlargement. To analyze the prognostic role of unexpected PALN enlargement in resectable PC, we retrospectively reviewed data of 1953 PC patients in a single tertiary center. Patients with unexpected intraoperative PALN enlargement (group A1, negative pathology, n = 59; group A2, positive pathology, n = 13) showed median overall survival (OS) of 24.6 (95% CI: 15.2–33.2) and 13.0 (95% CI: 4.9–19.7) months, respectively. Patients with radiological PALN metastasis without other metastases (group B, n = 91) showed median OS of 8.6 months (95% CI: 7.4–11.6). Compared with group A1, groups A2 and B had hazard ratios (HRs) of 2.79 (95% CI, 1.4–5.7) and 2.67 (95% CI: 1.8–4.0), respectively. Compared with group A2, group B had HR of 0.96 (95% CI: 0.5–1.9). Multivariable analysis also showed positive PALN as a negative prognostic factor (HR 2.57, 95% CI: 1.2–5.3), whereas positive regional lymph node did not (HR 1.32 95% CI: 0.8–2.3). Thus, unexpected malignant PALN has a negative prognostic impact comparable to radiological PALN metastasis. This results suggests prompt pathologic evaluation for unexpected PALN enlargements is needed and on-site modification of surgical strategy would be considered.

    Abstract: Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) is recommended as first-line treatment for advanced cholangiocarcinoma. We investigated the impact of GC in patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) based on the time taken for effective biliary drainage (EBD). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 113 patients with unresectable HC. Thirty-nine and 74 patients received GC chemotherapy and best supportive care (BSC), respectively. EBD was defined as a reduction in total bilirubin 〉 50% or to a value 〈 2 mg/dL after the drainage procedure. Early EBD (eEBD) and delayed EBD (dEBD) were separated by 2 weeks. Overall survival (OS) was estimated. Results: The GC group showed a significantly longer median OS than the BSC group (12.8 vs. 6.1 mo; P 〈 0.001). Moreover, the eEBD group experienced a significantly longer OS than the dEBD group (8.2 vs. 4.3 mo; P 〈 0.001). GC led to improved OS in the eEBD (12.8 vs. 6.8 mo; P =0.003) and dEBD (12.2 vs. 3.4 mo; P =0.009) groups. In multivariate analysis, dEBD (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.785; 95% confidence interval [CI] , 1.183-2.691; P =0.006), BSC (aHR, 2.409; 95% CI, 1.579-3.675; P 〈 0.001), and an ECOG status ≥2 (aHR, 3.721; 95% CI, 2.093-6.615; P 〈 0.001) were associated with poor prognosis. In GC group, the older (70 y and above) patients did not have a higher risk of death than younger patients. Conclusions: GC prolongs the survival of patients with unresectable HC, even those with dEBD or elderly.

    Abstract: 448 Background: Although almost patients with surgically resected pancreatic cancer (PC) experience recurrence, the optimal treatment option of recurrent PC is still unclear. Numerous studies have been reported about this issue, but all the scattered evidences are too small and heterogeneous to reach a conclusion. The aim of this systematic review is to perform ‘evidence mapping’ and subgroup meta-analysis. Methods: In regards to local recurrence and metastatic recurrence respectively, four treatment options including re-operation (ReOP), chemotherapy (CTx), radiotherapy (RT), best supportive care (BSC) were searched from Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, Scopus and Web of Science from 1976 to April 30, 2016. To visualize the mapping of evidence, we established a web-based mapping tool ( http://plotting-e-map.com ) and used it. In the treatment options with selected study types, subgroup meta-analyses were conducted using overall survival as a primary endpoint. Results: Among detected 12,040 studies, a total of 162 studies were included. In locally recurrent PC, overall 126 studies (39 of ReOP, 40 of CTx, 37 of RT, and 10 of BSC) were included. Median overall survival (OS) of each treatment option was 16.1 months (95% CI 4.9–22.1, I 2 52%) for ReOP, 14.9 month (95% CI 7.5–18.9, I 2 63%) for CTx, 13.8 months (95% CI 5.6–17.0, I 2 59%) for RT. In metastatic recurred PC, overall 36 studies (10 of ReOP, 22 of CTx, no RT, 4 of BSC) were included. Median OS’s were 8.3 months (95% CI 3.6–11.2, I 2 56%) for Re-OP, and 6.8 months (95% CI 4.1–9.5, I 2 33%) for CTx. Conclusions: During recent 40 years, evidences showed that re-operation for highly selected patients with locally and metastatic recurrent PC could be a considerable therapeutic option. However, since the heterogeneity among the studies is relatively high, more prospective and comparative studies about re-operation with multimodality treatment are needed.

    Abstract: PubMed is the most widely used database and search-engine in biomedical and healthcare field. It has evolved more powerfully using Best Match algorithm. However, users still have several difficulties to ‘catch' their target papers in limited time, which fundamentally originates from the conventional two-dimensional ‘top-down' display method of search results. We conducted a survey for 76 medical experts (including oncologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists, psychiatrists, et al) about their behaviors and difficulties in using PubMed. The most common ‘unmet needs' of users were (1) the rank of citation counts or impact factors, (2) more three-dimensional and interactive display of search results, and (3) author rank and network. Reflecting the results above, we developed a novel PubMed visualizing program, EEEvis version 1.0 (medical and healthcare evidence visualizer), and launched it on www.EEEvis.com. The basic operating principle of EEEvis version 1.0 is to visualize the metadata of PubMed and PubTator (a web-based text mining-tool) using (1) advanced filter tools, (2) a scatter & box plot using citation counts over years, (3) an author map reflecting the ranks and networks, and (4) a reinforced search list (Table 1). All the data crawling is based on the API (application programming interface) of PubMed and PubTator. To computing and visualizing the crawled metadata, we constructed two servers; a hidden station server and an open UI (user interface) server. In the interim result of our ongoing pilot study in searching oncology-related literatures, the two quantitative factors including (1) time to ‘catch' the target paper and (2) success rate finding the required paper showed significant improvement. Other qualitative factors including (3) user convenience, (4) interactivity, and (5) willingness to use EEEvis next time showed good results. Now we are developing EEEvis version 2.0 using text-mining technology and applying multiple patents for this program.

    Abstract: Systemic chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is the initial primary option for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). This study analyzed the effect of FOLFIRINOX and assessed the factors influencing conversion to surgical resectability for LAPC. Sixty-four patients with LAPC who received FOLFIRINOX as initial chemotherapy were enrolled retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, tumor status, interval/dosage/cumulative relative dose intensity (cRDI) of FOLFIRINOX, conversion to resection, and clinical outcomes were reviewed and factors associated with conversion to resectability after FOLFIRINOX were analyzed. After administration of FOLFIRINOX (median 9 cycles, 70% of cRDI), the median patient overall survival (OS) was 17.0 months. Fifteen of 64 patients underwent surgery and R0 resection was achieved in 11 patients. During a median follow-up time of 9.4 months after resection, cumulative recurrence rate was 28.5% at 18 months after resection. The estimated median OS was significantly longer for the resected group ( 〉 40 months vs 13 months). There were no statistical differences between the resected and non-resected groups in terms of baseline characteristics, tumor status and hematologic adverse effects. The patients who received standard dose of FOLFIRINOX had higher probability of subsequent resection compared with patients who received reduced dose, although cRDIs did not differ between groups. FOLFIRINOX is an active regimen in patients with LAPC, given acceptable resection rates and promising R0 resection rates. Additionally, our data demonstrate it is advantageous for obtaining resectability to administer FOLFIRINOX without dose reduction.

    Abstract: PubMed is the most extensively used database and search engine in the biomedical and healthcare fields. However, users could experience several difficulties in acquiring their target papers facing massive numbers of search results, especially in their unfamiliar fields. Therefore, we developed a novel user interface for PubMed and conducted three steps of study: step A, a preliminary user survey with 76 medical experts regarding the current usability for the biomedical literature search task at PubMed; step B is implementing EEEvis, a novel interactive visual analytic system for the search task; step C, a randomized user study comparing PubMed and EEEvis. First, we conducted a Google survey of 76 medical experts regarding the unmet needs of PubMed and the user requirements for a novel search interface. According to the data of preliminary Google survey, we implemented a novel interactive visual analytic system for biomedical literature search. This EEEvis provides enhanced literature data analysis functions including (1) an overview of the bibliographic features including publication date, citation count, and impact factors, (2) an overview of the co-authorship network, and (3) interactive sorting, filtering, and highlighting. In the randomized user study of 24 medical experts, the search speed of EEEvis was not inferior to PubMed in the time to reach the first article (median difference 3 sec, 95% CI -2.1 to 8.5, P = 0.535) nor in the search completion time (median difference 8 sec, 95% CI -4.7 to 19.1, P = 0.771). However, 22 participants (91.7%) responded that they are willing to use EEEvis as their first choice for a biomedical literature search task, and 21 participants (87.5%) answered the bibliographic sorting and filtering functionalities of EEEvis as a major advantage. EEEvis could be a supplementary interface for PubMed that can enhance the user experience in the search for biomedical literature.
