Among neuroendocrine neoplasms(NEN), neuroendocrine tumors(NET)with a high degree of differentiation and a relatively low growth potential involve various primary organs and often require treatment for a long duration. Accordingly, in their diagnosis and treatment, cooperation with multiple professions cross‒departmentally within the hospital and medical network with regional medical institutions are important. Medical and multidisciplinary treatment is specifically recommended for patients with pancreatic/gastrointestinal NET with locally advanced and unresectable lesions or metastatic lesions. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy(PRRT)has recently been approved in Japan and treatment options are increasing in this regard. This article reviews the latest trend of therapeutic agents for NET focusing on PRRT, and introduces efforts for the collaboration between hospitals in the advancement of PRRT.

Background: Cefepime is a first‒line drug in the early‒stage empirical treatment of cases of infectious diseases such as nosocomial pneumonia and ventilator‒related pneumonia for which the causative organism has not been identified. However, the high frequency of drug‒induced liver injury(DILI)has become a clinical challenge. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factor for DILI development induced by cefepime before the start of treatment. Method: We retrospectively extracted the data(age, sex, dose, treatment duration, and laboratory test values immediately before the start of treatment)of patients in whom cefepime treatment was initiated and performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of patients in whom DILI developed(DILI patients)and those in whom DILI did not develop(non‒DILI patients). Result: C‒reactive protein(odds ratio 1.127, 95% confidence interval 1.017‒1.249, p=0.023)and red blood cell count(odds ratio 1.014, 95% confidence interval 1.003‒1.025, p=0.015)before cefepime treatment were identified as risk factors for DILI development. Conclusion: Among patients with high values of these risk factors, the possible treatment with other drugs should be considered, while the closer monitoring of liver function tests when cefepime is administered may prevent DILI onset and exacerbation.

背景および目的:冠動脈血流予備量比(fractional flow reserve:FFR)は冠動脈狭窄の生理学的重症度を定量的に評価でき,機能的狭窄の指標とされている。一方,心筋虚血後には長時間のあいだ拡張機能障害が持続するdiastolic stunning 現象が知られている。われわれは,冠動脈中等度狭窄において冠動脈の機能的狭窄とdiastolic stunning の関連性について,FFR と心エコー図検査によるcolor kinetics 法を用いて検討した。 方法:初回冠動脈造影にて左前下行枝のみにACC/AHA 分類75%狭窄を認めた左室収縮能が正常な安定狭心症患者22 症例(71.6±8.7 歳,男性12 例)を対象とした。diastolic stunning の程度はcolor kinetics 法から局所拡張運動を客観的に定量化したcolor kinesis diastolic index(CK‒DI)を用いた。定量的冠動脈造影(quantita tive coronary angiography:QCA)による狭窄率(percent diameter stenosis:%DS)ならびにFFR とCK‒DI との関係を比較した。結果:QCA における狭窄率(%DS)は43.1±13.3%であった。また,FFR は0.78±0.08 であった。CK‒DI は58.4±14.6%であった。%DSとCK‒DI には相関が認められなかった(r=0.09,p=0.71)が,FFR とCK‒DI には正の相関(r=0.52,p=0.013)が認められた。 結語:少数例での検討であるが,FFR とCK‒DIには関連性が認められた。中等度の冠動脈硬狭窄ではdiastolic stunning の程度は機能的狭窄に大きく関連する可能性があると考えられる。
