    Notes: Abstract The effects of cholera toxin-induced diarrhea on the absorption of fatty acids of different chain lengths were investigated using rat small intestine. In the study using isolated jejunal loops, the absorption of the long-chain fatty acid, linoleic acid, into the intestinal mucosa was significantly impaired 90 min after the administration of linoleic acid micelles in the cholera toxin-treated rats. This reduction of linoleic acid absorption in the cholera toxin-treated rats was not found at 180 min. We could not find any mucosal accumulation of labeled linoleic acid or disturbance of triglyceride formation in the intestinal mucosa as compared with that of controls. The amount of linoleic acid transported into the intestinal lymph was delayed and reduced in cholera toxin-treated rats. Furthermore, the absorption of the medium-chain-length fatty acid, octanoic acid, was unchanged in the cholera toxin-treated rats. These results suggest that intestinal secretion induced by cholera toxin may delay the mucosal uptake and lymphatic transport of long-chain fatty acids. Cholera toxin may not affect triglyceride formation in the epithelial cells.

    Notes: Abstract Glycoprotein and glycolipid constituents were examined in purified microvillus and basolateral membranes isolated from rat small intestinal epithelial cells. SDS—polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the molecular weights of most of the major proteins from microvillus membranes were over 100 kD, whereas the majority of those from basolateral membranes tended to have lower molecular weights. Glycoprotein profiles were also examined using three labeling methods, and in each case marked differences were observed between microvillus and basolateral membranes. In both membranes, lectins with a specificity toward N-linked sugar chains bound to the majority of the glycoproteins, in contrast to those lectins which preferentially bind to O-linked sugar chains. Glycolipids were labeled in vivo and isolated from both membrane fractions. Some differences were observed in the fucolipids and neutral glycolipids suggesting a more complex pattern in microvillus membranes. These results indicate that there are differences in the glycoprotein and glycolipid compositions of microvillus and basolateral membranes that may reflect the functional polarity of intestinal epithelial cells.

    Notes: Abstract The mechanisms whereby the conjugated bile salts regulate the activities of the brush border membrane hydrolases and its physiological significance were investigated in rat small intestine, and comparisons were made with the action of pancreatic protease. Rat brush border membrane proteins were metabolically labeled with [35S]methionine, and isolated brush border membrane was incubated with taurocholate or pancreatic elastase. The activity of solubilized hydrolases was assayed and the molecular forms of the hydrolases were examined by SDS-PAGE. The activity and protein bands of alkaline phosphatase and sucrase-isomaltase were solubilized by taurocholate, while alkaline phosphatase was not solubilized by elastase. Solubilized sucrase-isomaltase molecules were proteolytically degraded by elastase, whereas the intact molecule of sucrase-isomaltase was solubilized by taurocholate. Next the physiological role of bile salts in brush border membrane hydrolase turnover were investigated using metabolic labeling of brush border membrane hydrolase and immunoprecipitation in biliary diversion rats. After three days of biliary diversion, a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity was observed. Although synthesis of alkaline phosphatase in biliary diversion rats was similar to that observed in control rats, biliary diversion rats showed 1.5-fold slower turnover of alkaline phosphatase when compared with control rats. These results suggest that conjugated bile salts in the intestinal lumen may cause a rapid turnover of brush border membrane hydrolases, which may be increased by the enhanced enzyme degradation. The mechanisms for the enhanced degradation appeared to be solubilization of hydrolases caused by the detergent activity of bile salts. Therefore, conjugated bile salts may play an important physiological role in the regulation of expression of the protease-resistant enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase.

    Description: Background: Gasless laparoendoscopic single-port surgery (GasLESS) for radical nephrectomy (GasLESSRN) in the flank position is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with T1-3 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, RCC patients considered suitable for supine positioning rather than flank positioning for radical nephrectomy are occasionally encountered. This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of approach via a small retroperitoneal anterior subcostal incision (RASI) in the supine position for GasLESSRN (RASI-GasLESSRN) on the basis of our initial experience. Methods: RASI-GasLESSRN was performed on 42 patients with RCC or suspected RCC from 2011-2013. The RASI, which was 6 cm long in principle, was made parallel to the tip of the rib from the lateral border of rectus abdominis muscle toward the flank in the supine position. The specimen was extracted via the RASI using a retrieval device. All procedures were performed retroperitoneally under flexible endoscopy with reusable instruments and without carbon dioxide insufflation or insertion of hands into the operative field. Results: RASI-GasLESSRN was successfully performed in all patients without complications. The mean incision length was 6.3 cm, mean operative time was 198 minutes, and mean blood loss was 284 mL. All 42 patients were classified as Clavien grade I. The mean times to oral feeding and walking were 1.1 and 2 days, respectively. The mean number of postoperative days required for patients to be dischargeable was 3.7 days. Conclusions: The approach via a small RASI in the supine position for GasLESSRN is a safe and feasible technique. RASI-GasLESSRN in the supine position is an alternative minimally invasive treatment option, especially for RCC patients considered suitable for supine positioning.

    Description: BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/International Union Against Cancer TNM classification (TNM7) had superior discriminatory ability over the sixth edition of the TNM classification (TNM6) in patients with gastric cancer regardless of their country of origin. METHODS: In total, 538 patients from the Kanagawa Cancer Center Hospital (Yokohama, Japan) (KCCH) and 519 patients from the Leeds Teaching Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Leeds, United Kingdom) (LTHT) who underwent surgery for gastric cancer were selected. Overall survival was used for statistical analysis. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated with disease stage as a continuous variable to evaluate the discriminatory ability of the TNM stage groups. The estimates of log HRs (logHRs) for the TNM6 and the TNM7 stage groups were compared. RESULTS: In the KCCH cohort, 82 patients (15%) were upstaged, and 26 patients (5%) were downstaged between TNM6 and TNM7 compared with 253 patients (49%) and 53 patients (10%), respectively, in the LTHT cohort. The logHRs for a 1-stage increase within TNM6 and TNM7 were 1.06 and 1.16, respectively, in the KCCH cohort and 0.57 and 0.79, respectively, in the LTHT cohort. The differences in logHRs between TNM6 and TNM7 were significant in each cohort (KCCH: logHR, 0.11; P = .024; LTHT: logHR, 0.21; P = .0002) and between the 2 cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: TNM7 had superior discriminatory ability compared with TNM6 in both cohorts. The improved ability to discriminate patients with different survival probability when using TNM7 was greater in the LTHT cohort. The current findings indicated that the discriminatory ability of the TNM stage groups may depend on the baseline survival characteristics of the patient cohort.
