Natural killer activity and serum immunosuppressive acidic protein levels in esophageal and gastric cancers

The natural killer (NK) activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP) levels were examined in patients with esophageal or gastric cancer, before and after surgery. Patients with stage IV esophageal or stage IV gastric cancer had significantly lower NK activity (39.5±14.8% and 37±11.6%, respectively), and also higher serum IAP levels (778±264 g/mL and 633±156 g/mL, respectively), than the corresponding control values (50±5.6% and 375±26 g/mL, respectively). Patients with esophageal or gastric cancer who underwent curative resection had high NK activity (54.8±11.6% and 54.8±8.0%, respectively), and low IAP levels (471±116 g/mL and 490±42 g/mL, respectively), compared with those who underwent non-curative resection. Patients who underwent non-curative resection had lower NK activity and higher serum IAP levels than those who underwent curative resection, even 1 month after surgery. Mononuclear cells in the regional lymph nodes and tumor specimens showed significantly lower NK activity than those in the peripheral blood and spleen. Thus, NK activity and the IAP level reflected the immunocompetence, clinical course, and surgical curability of those patients. NK cells appeared not to have any significant antitumor activity in the regional lymph nodes or in the tumor itself, although they were still active in the peripheral blood.

PCNA immunostaining combined with AgNOR staining in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to identify patients with a poor prognosis

Immunostaining of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) provides important information about cell kinetics and is easily performed on routinely obtained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded materials. We report herein the results of a retrospective study on PCNA staining in esophageal cancer undertaken to determine its significance. As this study indicated that immunoreactivity was preserved in specimens fixed within 24 h, only 31 specimens from surgical patients were available for this investigation. The mean PCNA index of the patients without invasion to the adventitia (35.7±17.9) was significantly lower than that of those with invasion to the adventitia or neighboring structures (49.7±14.5), while the PCNA index did not correlate with other clinicopathologic parameters such as histologic type, lymph node metastases, or prognosis. However, when an analysis of PCNA staining was combined with an analysis of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) staining, a correlation with prognosis was found. In fact, seven patients with a high PCNA index (44) and AgNOR count (6) had a significantly poorer prognosis than the remaining 22 (P=0.0014), and six of these seven patients died within 2 years. These results indicate that this combined evaluation may be useful for the identification of patients with a poor prognosis among those undergoing surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.     

Early one-stage orthotopic jejunal pedicle-graft interposition in long-gap esophageal atresia

Since 1988, four children with long-gap esophageal atresia have undergone one-stage orthotopic jejunal pedicle-graft interposition at the age of 2 to 3 months. Obtaining enough jejunal length was no problem and major early complications did not occur. In one patient stenosis of the distal anastomosis was problematic and required corrective surgery. None of the patients demonstrated jejunitis as a result of gastroesophageal reflux. With follow-up periods of 12, 27, 46, and 60 months, all patients are doing well. It is concluded that the jejunum is a better esophageal substitute than is generally appreciated.     

Finger bougie method compared with pyloroplasty in the gastric replacement of the esophagus

To elucidate the necessity of pyloroplasty for the gastric tube through the posterior mediastinum in esophageal surgery, gastric emptying and duodenogastric reflux (DGR) were evaluated in 16 cases undergoing an anterior pylorectomy (group P) and in 16 cases treated by the finger bougie method (group F). First, the obstruction and reflux symptoms were examined based on a patient questionnaire using a brief scoring system. The median value of the symptom score showed the patients in P to have more symptoms than those in F; however, the difference was not significant (8.0 vs 6.0). Secondly, the swallowed Tc O₄ ⁻ (85 MBq) was counted using a gamma camera at three sites on the sternal bone in the upright position based on a gastric transit scintigram. Both the descending time of the RI peak and the clearance rates were similar between the two groups. Thirdly, intragastric 24-h pH monitoring was carried out. Antimony pH sensors were anchored 5 and 15 cm below the esophagogastrostomy. We could not find any difference between the two groups in both the % time pH>4 and %time pH>7. These findings thus revealed no big difference between groups P and F. The finger bougie method to drain the vagotomized posterior mediastinal stomach was found to achieve results similar to conventional pyloroplasty, while it was also simpler and safer.     

Esophageal pressure and apnea hypopnea index in sleep-disordered breathing

Severity of negative esophageal pressure (Pes) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) were investigated in six cases of upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and 11 cases of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The severity of negative Pes was represented by the highest peak (Pes Max) and the number of increased episodes (more than 13.5 cmH2O) per h (NPesI13.5). There was no significant correlation between Pes indices and AHI. Pes Max and NPesI13.5 were not different among severe OSAS (AHI > 30), mild OSAS (AHI < 30) and UARS. Apnea hypopnea index failed to represent the severity of negative Pes, which is an important aspect of the pathophysiology of sleep-disordered breathing.
