The revision surgery of basilar invagination (BI) with irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (IAAD) after a previous occipitocervical fusion (OCF) is challenging. Transoral revision surgery has more advantages than a combined anterior and posterior approach in addressing this pathology. The C-JAWS is a cervical compressive staple that has been used in the lower cervical spine with many advantages. Up to now, there is no report on the application of C-JAWS in the atlantoaxial joint. We therefore present this report to investigate the clinical outcomes of transoral intraarticular cage distraction and C-JAWS fixation for revision of BI with IAAD. From June 2011 to June 2015, 9 patients with BI and IAAD were revised by this technique after previous posterior OCF in our department. Plain cervical radiographs, computed tomographic scans and magnetic resonance imaging were obtained pre- and postoperatively to assess the degree of atlantoaxial dislocation and compression of the cervical cord. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score was used to evaluate the neurological function. The revision surgeries were successfully performed in all patients. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/r-hts-3.html The average follow-up duration was 18.9 ± 7.3 months (range 9-30 months). The postoperative atlas-dens interval (ADI), cervicomedullary angle (CMA), distance between the top of the odontoid process and the Chamberlain line (CL) and JOA score were significantly improved in all patients (P < 0.05). Bony fusion was achieved after 3-9 months in all cases. No patients developed recurrent atlantoaxial instability. Transoral revision surgery by intraarticular cage distraction and C-JAWS fixation could provide a satisfactory outcome for BI with IAAD after a previous unsuccessful posterior operation. Transoral revision surgery by intraarticular cage distraction and C-JAWS fixation could provide a satisfactory outcome for BI with IAAD after a previous unsuccessful posterior operation. Adult hemiliver transplantation (AHLT) is an important approach given the current shortage of donor livers. However, the suitability of AHLT versus adult whole liver transplantation (AWLT) for recipients with high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores remains controversial. We divided patients undergoing AHLT and AWLT into subgroups according to their MELD scores (≥ 30 AHLT, n = 35; AWLT, n = 88; and < 30 AHLT, n = 323; AWLT, n = 323). Patients were matched by demographic data and perioperative conditions according to propensity scores. A cut-off value of 30 for MELD scores was determined by comparing the overall survival data of 735 cases of nontumor liver transplantation. Among patients with an MELD score ≥ 30 and < 30, AHLT was found to be associated with increased warm ischemia time, operative time, hospitalization time, and intraoperative blood loss compared with AWLT (P < 0.05). In the MELD ≥ 30 group, although the 5-year survival rate was significantly higher for AWLT than for high MELD score can safely undergo AHLT. In patients with an MELD score less then 30, AHLT can achieve rates of mortality and overall survival comparable to AWLT. In those with an MELD score ≥ 30, the prognosis and incidence of complications classified as Clavien-Dindo III or above are significantly worse for AHLT than for AWLT; therefore, we may need to be more cautious regarding the conclusion that patients with a high MELD score can safely undergo AHLT.An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via the original article. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been reported to develop in patients with interstitial pneumonia (IP); however, clinical, radiological, and pathological features remain to be elucidated. We retrieved the records of 120 consecutive NSCLC patients associated with IP who underwent surgery at Toranomon Hospital between June 2011 and May 2017. We classified the patients into three groups according to NSCLC location using high-resolution computed tomography group A, within a fibrotic shadow and/or at the interface of a fibrotic shadow and normal lung; group B, within emphysematous tissue and/or at the interface of emphysematous tissue and normal lung; and group C, within normal lung. In 64 patients, programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) status was assessed with immunohistostaining. Most of the patients (89; 70%) were classified as group A. This group tended to have squamous cell carcinoma with the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). These cancers were located mainly in the lower lobes and seven of the eight postoperative acute exacerbations (pAE) of IP developed in this group. NSCLC in the group B were mainly squamous cell carcinomas located in the upper lobes. No patient with PD-L1 negative was classified into group B. None of the patients in group C showed UIP. and most of the cancers were adenocarcinoma. The frequency of epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive NSCLC was the highest in this group. The three groups each showed characteristic features in terms of tumor location, histopathology, PD-L1 expression, and frequency of pAEof IP. The three groups each showed characteristic features in terms of tumor location, histopathology, PD-L1 expression, and frequency of pAEof IP. Schlafen 11 (SLFN11) was recently identified as a dominant determinant of sensitivity to DNA-targeting agents including platinum-based drugs. SLFN11 also reportedly enhances cellular radiosensitivity. In this study, we examined the prognostic value of SLFN11 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT), including the platinum derivative nedaplatin. Seventy-three patients with ESCC who received dCRT were examined. SLFN11 expression was analyzed in pre-dCRT biopsies using immunohistochemistry and evaluated using a histo-score (H-score). Correlation between the H-score and overall survival was analyzed. An H-score ≥ 51 was provisionally defined as indicating high SLFN11 expression. Viability assays were performed using previously established isogenic human cell lines differentially expressing SLFN11 to test the usefulness of SLFN11 as marker of response to the dCRT regimen. High SLFN11 expression was independently associated with better prognosis in ESCC patients (hazard ratio = 0.
