    Abstract: An 84‐year‐old man, who was being followed up after lobectomy for lung carcinoma, was referred for evaluation of a dilated main pancreatic duct (MPD) from the body to the tail. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a low‐echo mass occupying the MPD from the body to the tail. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography showed an occlusion of the MPD in the body, and brush cytology indicated malignant cells. Distal pancreatectomy was performed. Grossly, a white–yellow, irregular‐shaped solid mass without macroscopic mucus filled the lumen of the MPD. Histologically, the mass consisted of a complex fusion of tubular glands with atypical nuclei, which did not have intracellular mucus and oncocytic cytoplasm. The tumor mass showed abrupt transition to the normal epithelium. Immunohistochemically the tumor cells were partially positive for mucin 1 (MUC1) and MUC6, and negative for MUC2, MUC5AC, and lipase. Unfortunately the patient died of brain metastasis from lung carcinoma 15 months later. A review of reported cases of intraductal tubular tumors of the pancreas showed that the present case involved characteristics and immunohistochemical staining pattern similar to those of intraductal tubular carcinoma, although it might not be described as a typical intraductal tubular carcinoma under the existing Japanese rules.

    Abstract: The lymph node metastasis rate in right‐sided colon cancer is unknown, and the optimal central vascular ligation level remains controversial. We aimed to determine the lymph node metastasis rate and short‐term results of radical surgery with extended lymph node dissection in right‐sided colon cancer. Methods This prospective multicenter observational study included patients with stage II/III right‐sided colon cancer from five cancer hospitals. The metastasis rate of each node station was analyzed according to tumor location and main feeding artery. Results Between April 2018 and August 2021, 208 patients underwent dissection around the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and vein (SMV). In transverse colon cancer, 7.5% and 2.5% of metastases occurred around the SMV and SMA at the root of the middle colic artery (MCA), respectively; 6.7% and 6.7% at the root of the right colic artery. In caecal cancer, 1.9% of metastases occurred around the SMV and 1.9% around the SMA. In ascending colon cancer, the rate was 1.1% around the SMV. Of the tumors, 17% fed mainly by the ileocolic artery had node metastases along the middle or right colic artery, as did 66.7% fed mainly by the right colic artery and 41.2% fed by the MCA ( p  = 0.01). Postoperative complications occurred in 42 patients (20.2%). Conclusion Routine prophylactic extended lymphadenectomy around the SMA might not be necessary in caecum and ascending colon cancer. Dissection around the SMA may be necessary in cases of transverse colon cancer or when the feeding artery is the MCA.

    Abstract: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKA) after recent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) aged ≥85 years. Methods Individual patient data analysis from seven prospective stroke cohorts. We compared DOAC versus VKA treatment among patients with AF and recent stroke ( 〈 3 months) aged ≥85 versus 〈 85 years. Primary outcome was the composite of recurrent stroke, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and all‐cause death. We used simple, adjusted, and weighted Cox regression to account for confounders. We calculated the net benefit of DOAC versus VKA by balancing stroke reduction against the weighted ICH risk. Results In total, 5,984 of 6,267 (95.5%) patients were eligible for analysis. Of those, 1,380 (23%) were aged ≥85 years and 3,688 (62%) received a DOAC. During 6,874 patient‐years follow‐up, the impact of anticoagulant type (DOAC versus VKA) on the hazard for the composite outcome did not differ between patients aged ≥85 (HR ≥85y  = 0.65, 95%‐CI [0.52, 0.81]) and  〈  85 years (HR 〈 85y  = 0.79, 95%‐CI [0.66, 0.95]) in simple (p interaction  = 0.129), adjusted (p interaction  = 0.094) or weighted (p interaction  = 0.512) models. Analyses on recurrent stroke, ICH and death separately were consistent with the primary analysis, as were sensitivity analyses using age dichotomized at 90 years and as a continuous variable. DOAC had a similar net clinical benefit in patients aged ≥85 (+1.73 to +2.66) and  〈  85 years (+1.90 to +3.36 events/100 patient‐years for ICH‐weights 1.5 to 3.1). Interpretation The favorable profile of DOAC over VKA in patients with AF and recent stroke was maintained in the oldest old. ANN NEUROL 2022;91:78–88

    Abstract: Endobronchial‐invasive lung cancers are generally diagnosed at advanced stages and may require emergency treatment for airway obstruction. Stent implantation is a common intervention for such obstructed airways but certain subsets of patients cannot receive adequate treatment without respiratory support. Veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a salvage therapy for respiratory failure but its usefulness in managing patients with advanced lung cancer remains unclear given the poor prognosis. In recent years, molecular targeted agents for patients with driver mutations offer rapid responses and may be administered even while under critical care. In this report, we describe the case of 39‐year‐old female who presented to our emergency department with severe respiratory distress. A computed tomography scan revealed a large mediastinal tumor invading the tracheal carina causing severe stenosis of the left main bronchus and right main pulmonary artery. ECMO support was required as the respiratory condition remained unstable despite high pressure ventilation. Under ECMO support, the patient underwent bronchial stent implantation and was successfully weaned off ECMO. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as pulmonary adenocarcinoma with anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangement. Treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, alectinib, induced a marked tumor reduction within a short period. The patient recovered well and is now in remission one year later. This case indicates that intensive respiratory support with ECMO may become a bridge through the critical period for selected patients with respiratory failure secondary to advanced lung cancer. Key points Significant findings of this study ECMO was important to maintain oxygenation during airway intervention for acute respiratory failure due to critical lung adenocarcinoma with ALK gene rearrangement. What this study adds With the development of targeted therapies and the improvement in therapeutic bronchoscopy, intensive respiratory support with ECMO may be helpful especially in selected lung cancer patients with oncogenic driver mutations.

    Abstract: A 60‐year‐old woman was referred for evaluation of a cystic mass in the pancreatic body that extended to the tail. Transabdominal ultrasonography demonstrated an oval cystic mass 24 cm in diameter, filled with debris. On the cyst wall there was a wide‐based, smooth‐surfaced, heterogeneous high‐echoic protrusion that was 5 cm in diameter. On CT the protrusion showed internal enhancement. Endoscopic pancreatography showed no intraductal mucin or communication with the cyst. A distal pancreatectomy was performed under the diagnosis of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Grossly there was a brownish, hemispherical protrusion into the thin monolocular cyst. The cut surface of the protrusion showed a peripheral yellow‐brownish area and an internal wine‐colored area. Histopathologically the cyst wall consisted of tall columnar cells without atypical nuclei, ovarian‐type stroma beneath the epithelium, and fibrotic tissue with abundant capillary vessels, suggestive of a mucinous cystadenoma. The protrusion was composed of peripheral organized hematoma without a covering epithelium, and internal hemorrhage and many capillary vessels, with no evidence of tumor cell necrosis. These histopathological findings appear to be similar to those of chronic expanding hematoma. The formation of a huge mural hematoma in a mucinous cystic neoplasm can occur as a repair process after the breaking of intrawall vessels.

    Abstract: Cerebral microbleeds are associated with the risks of ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage, causing clinical dilemmas for antithrombotic treatment decisions. We aimed to evaluate the risks of intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke associated with microbleeds in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with vitamin K antagonists, direct oral anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and combination therapy (i.e. concurrent oral anticoagulant and antiplatelet). Methods We included patients with documented atrial fibrillation from the pooled individual patient data analysis by the Microbleeds International Collaborative Network. Risks of subsequent intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke were compared between patients with and without microbleeds, stratified by antithrombotic use. Results A total of 7,839 patients were included. The presence of microbleeds was associated with an increased relative risk of intracranial hemorrhage (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 2.74, 95% confidence interval = 1.76–4.26) and ischemic stroke (aHR = 1.29, 95% confidence interval = 1.04–1.59). For the entire cohort, the absolute incidence of ischemic stroke was higher than intracranial hemorrhage regardless of microbleed burden. However, for the subgroup of patients taking combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy, the absolute risk of intracranial hemorrhage exceeded that of ischemic stroke in those with 2 to 4 microbleeds (25 vs 12 per 1,000 patient‐years) and ≥ 11 microbleeds (94 vs 48 per 1,000 patient‐years). Interpretation Patients with atrial fibrillation and high burden of microbleeds receiving combination therapy have a tendency of higher rate of intracranial hemorrhage than ischemic stroke, with potential for net harm. Further studies are needed to help optimize stroke preventive strategies in this high‐risk group. ANN NEUROL 2023;94:61–74

    Abstract: This study was undertaken to determine the excess risk of antithrombotic‐related bleeding due to cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) burden. Methods In this observational, prospective cohort study, patients with cerebrovascular or cardiovascular diseases taking oral antithrombotic agents were enrolled from 52 hospitals across Japan between 2016 and 2019. Baseline multimodal magnetic resonance imaging acquired under prespecified conditions was assessed by a central diagnostic radiology committee to calculate total SVD score. The primary outcome was major bleeding. Secondary outcomes included bleeding at each site and ischemic events. Results Of the analyzed 5,250 patients (1,736 women; median age = 73 years, 9,933 patient‐years of follow‐up), antiplatelets and anticoagulants were administered at baseline in 3,948 and 1,565, respectively. Median SVD score was 2 (interquartile range = 1–3). Incidence rate of major bleeding was 0.39 (per 100 patinet‐years) in score 0, 0.56 in score 1, 0.91 in score 2, 1.35 in score 3, and 2.24 in score 4 (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] for score 4 vs 0 = 5.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.26–13.23), that of intracranial hemorrhage was 0.11, 0.33, 0.58, 0.99, and 1.06, respectively (aHR = 9.29, 95% CI = 1.99–43.35), and that of ischemic event was 1.82, 2.27, 3.04, 3.91, and 4.07, respectively (aHR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.08–2.86). In addition, extracranial major bleeding (aHR = 3.43, 95% CI = 1.13–10.38) and gastrointestinal bleeding (aHR = 2.54, 95% CI = 1.02–6.35) significantly increased in SVD score 4 compared to score 0. Interpretation Total SVD score was predictive for intracranial hemorrhage and probably for extracranial bleeding, suggesting the broader clinical relevance of cerebral SVD as a marker for safe implementation of antithrombotic therapy.

    Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) known before ischemic stroke (KAF) has been postulated to be an independent category with a recurrence risk higher than that of AF detected after stroke (AFDAS). However, it is unknown whether this risk difference is confounded by pre‐existing anticoagulation, which is most common in KAF and also indicates a high ischemic stroke recurrence risk. Methods Individual patient data analysis from 5 prospective cohorts of anticoagulated patients following AF‐associated ischemic stroke. We compared the primary (ischemic stroke recurrence) and secondary outcome (all‐cause death) among patients with AFDAS versus KAF and among anticoagulation‐naïve versus previously anticoagulated patients using multivariable Cox, Fine‐Gray models, and goodness‐of‐fit statistics to investigate the relative independent prognostic importance of AF‐category and pre‐existing anticoagulation. Results Of 4,357 patients, 1,889 (43%) had AFDAS and 2,468 (57%) had KAF, while 3,105 (71%) were anticoagulation‐naïve before stroke and 1,252 (29%) were previously anticoagulated. During 6,071 patient‐years of follow‐up, we observed 244 recurrent strokes and 661 deaths. Only pre‐existing anticoagulation (but not KAF) was independently associated with a higher hazard for stroke recurrence in both Cox and Fine‐Gray models. Models incorporating pre‐existing anticoagulation showed better fit than those with AF category; adding AF‐category did not result in better model fit. Neither pre‐existing anticoagulation nor KAF were independently associated with death. Conclusion Our findings challenge the notion that KAF and AFDAS are clinically relevant and distinct prognostic entities. Instead of attributing an independently high stroke recurrence risk to KAF, future research should focus on the causes of stroke despite anticoagulation to develop improved preventive treatments.

    Abstract: Activator protein‐1 (AP‐1) is a transcriptional factor that regulates the expression of various genes associated with tumor invasion and migration. The purpose of our study was to assess the therapeutic effects of a novel selective AP‐1 inhibitor, T‐5224, in preventing lymph node metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in an orthotopic mouse model. We assessed the effect of T‐5224 on HNSCC cell invasion, migration, proliferation, and MMP activity by carrying out an in vitro study using an invasion assay, scratch assay, WST‐8 assay, and gelatin zymography. We also observed morphological changes in HNSCC cells by time‐lapse microscopy. Furthermore, cervical lymph node metastasis was assessed using an orthotopic tumor model of human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells (HSC‐3‐M3) injected in the tongue of a BALB/c nude mouse. T‐5224 (150 mg/kg) or vehicle was given orally every day for 4 weeks. Animals were killed and assessed for lymph node metastasis by H & E staining of resected lymph nodes. T‐5224 significantly inhibited the invasion, migration, and MMP activity of HNSCC cells in a dose‐dependent manner; there was no significant influence on cell proliferation. The antimetastatic effect of T‐5224 was also confirmed in our animal study. The rate of cervical lymph node metastasis in the model was 40.0% in the T‐5224‐treated group ( n = 30) versus 74.1% in the vehicle‐treated group ( n = 27; P 〈 0.05). In conclusion, T‐5224 inhibited the invasion and migration of HNSCC cells in vitro , and prevented lymph node metastasis in head and neck cancer in an animal model.
