| 1 | Liquid biopsy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), with its high incidence and mortality rate, is one of the most common malignant tumors. Despite recent development of a diagnostic and treatment method, the prognosis of HCC remains poor. Therefore, to provide optimal treatment for each patient with HCC, more precise and effective biomarkers are urgently needed which could facilitate a more detailed individualized decision-making during HCC treatment, including the following; risk assessment, early cancer detection, prediction of treatment or prognostic outcome. In the blood of cancer patients, accumulating evidence about circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids has suggested their potent clinical utilities as novel biomarker. This concept, so-called 'liquid biopsy' is widely known as an alternative approach to cancer tissue biopsy. This method might facilitate a more sensitive diagnosis and better decision-making by obtaining genetic and epigenetic aberrations that are closely associated with cancer initiation and progression. In this article, we review recent developments based on the available literature on both circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids in cancer patients, especially focusing on Hepatocellular carcinoma. | wataru okajima shuhei komatsu daisuke ichikawa mahito miyamae takuma ohashi taisuke imamura jun kiuchi keiji nishibeppu tomohiro arita hirotaka konishi atsushi shiozaki ryo morimura hisashi ikoma kazuma okamoto eigo otsuji | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,31: | 22 |
| 2 | Diagnostic and therapeutic single-operator cholangiopancreatoscopy in biliopancreatic diseases:Prospective multicenter study in Japan显示文摘AIM: To assess the utility and safety of single-operator cholangiopancreatoscopy(SOCPS) using the Spy Glass system in widespread clinical application for biliary and pancreatic diseases.METHODS: This study was a prospective case series conducted in 20 referral centers in Japan. There were 148 patients who underwent SOCPS; 124 for biliary diseases and 24 for pancreatic diseases. The attempted interventions were SOCPS examination, SOCPS-directed tissue sampling, and therapy for stone removal, among others. The main outcomes were related to the procedure success rate in terms of visualizing the target lesions, SOCPS-directed adequate tissue sampling, and complete stone removal. RESULTS: A total of 148 patients were enrolled for the diagnosis of indeterminate biliary and pancreatic lesions or treatment of biliary and pancreatic disease. The overall procedure success rate of visualizing the target lesions was 91.2%(135/148). The overall procedural success rates of visualizing the target lesions of diagnostic SOCPS in the bile duct and pancreatic duct were 95.5%(84/89) and 88.2%(15/17), respectively. Diagnosis: the overall adequate tissue for histologic examination was secured in 81.4% of the 86 patients who underwent biopsy under SOCPS(bile duct, 60/75, 80.0%; pancreatic duct, 10/11, 90.9%). The accuracy of histologic diagnosis using SOCPS-directed biopsies in indeterminate bile duct lesions was 70.7%(53/75). In the pancreatic duct, the accuracy of SOCPS visual impression of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm was 87.5%(14/16). Stone therapy: complete biliary and pancreatic stone clearance combined with SOCPS-directed stone therapy using electrohydraulic lithotripsy or laser lithotripsy was achieved in 74.2%(23/31) and 42.9%(3/7) of the patients, respectively. Others: SOCPS using the Spy Glass system was used in cannulation of the cystic duct in two patients and for passing across the obstructed self-expandable metallic stent for a malignant biliary stricture in two patients. All procedures were successful in both SOCPS-guided therapies. The incidence of procedure-related adverse events was 5.4%(8/148). CONCLUSION: SOCPS with direct visualization and biopsy for diagnosis and SOCPS-directed therapy for biliary and pancreatic diseases can be safely performed with a high success rate. | Toshio Kurihara Ichiro Yasuda Hiroyuki Isayama Toshio Tsuyuguchi Taketo Yamaguchi Ken Kawabe Yoshinobu Okabe Keiji Hanada Tsuyoshi Hayashi Takao Ohtsuka Syuhei Oana Hiroshi Kawakami Yoshinori Igarashi Kazuya Matsumoto Kiichi Tamada Shomei Ryozawa Hiroki Kawashima Yutaka Okamoto Iruru Maetani Hiroyuki Inoue Takao Itoi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,5: | 20 |
| 3 | Long-term outcome of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy for minimum-sized hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate long-term follow-up of minimum-sized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI). METHODS: PEI was applied to 42 lesions in 31 patients (23 male and eight female) with HCC < 15 mm in diameter, over the past 15 years. RESULTS: Overall survival rate was 74.1% at 3 years, 49.9% at 5 years, 27.2% at 7 years and 14.5% at 10 years. These results are superior to, or at least the same as those for hepatic resection and radiofrequency ablation. Survival was affected only by liver function, but not by sex, age, etiology of Hepatitis B virus or Hepatitis C virus, α-fetoprotein levels, arterial and portal blood flow, histological characteristics, and tumor multiplicity or size. Patients in Child-Pugh class A and B had 5-, 7- and 10-years survival rates of 76.0%, 42.2% and 15.8%, and 17.1%, 8.6% and 0%, respectively (P = 0.025). CONCLUSION: Treatment with PEI is best indicated for patients with HCC < 15 mm in Child-Pugh class A. | Miyuki Taniguchi Soo Ryang Kim Susumu Imoto Hirotsugu Ikawa Kenji Ando Keiji Mita Shuichi Fuki Noriko Sasase Toshiyuki Matsuoka Masatoshi Kudo Yoshitake Hayashi | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,13: | 16 |
| 4 | 渤海典型余环流及其影响因素研究显示文摘以大阪大学海湾模型(ODEM),三维斜压水动力模型研究了渤海夏、冬季节典型余环流结构及其控制因子的影响.浅析了不同计算工况下余流结构对海域不同部分水交换能力的影响.通过分析渤海中部流速的垂向分布,探讨了潮汐、季风和表面热交换对余环流的贡献.从表面和底层的潮余流结构可以看出渤海的余环流由多个而不是一个旋涡构成,海域的地形和海岸线形状是控制沿岸潮余流结构的主要因素.渤海典型风向下的夏季风和冬季风对余环流的影响差异较大;区域性热盐效应导致的密度流不管是否引起层化现象都会对风生流和潮余流产生较大的影响. | 梁书秀 孙昭晨 NAKATSUJI Keiji YAMANAKA Ryoichi | 2006 | 大连理工大学学报2006,46,1: | 13 |
| 5 | Macrophage migration inhibitory factor stimulated by He/icobacter py/oriincreases proliferation of gastric epithelial cells显示文摘AIM: Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is associated with increased gastric inflammatory and epithelial expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and gastric epithelial cell proliferation. This study aimed at determining whether H pylori directly stimulates release of MIF in monocytes, whether the cay pathogenicity island (PAI) is involved for this function, and whether MIF stimulated by H pylori increases gastric epithelial cell proliferation in vitro.METHODS: A cytotoxic wild-type H pylori strain (TN2),its three isogenic mutants (TN2△cag, TN2△cagA and TN2△cagE) were co-cultured with cells of a human monocyte cell line, THP-1, for 24 h at different organism/cell ratios. MIF in the supernatants was measured by an ELISA. Cells of a human gastric cancer cell line, MKN45,were then co-cultured with the supernatants, with and without monoclonal anti-MIF antibody for 24 h. The cells were further incubated for 12 h after addition of 3H-thymidine, and the levels of incorporation of 3H-thymidine were measured with a liquid scintillation counter.RESULTS: The wild-type strain and the isogenic mutants,TN2△cagA and TN2△cagE, increased MIF release at organism/cell ratios of 200/1 and 400/1, but not at the ratios of 50/1 and 100/1. However, the mutant TN2△cag did not increase the release of MIF at any of the four ratios.3H-thymidine readings for MKN-45 cells were significantly increased with supernatants derived from the wild-type strain and the mutants TN2△cagA and TN2△cagE, but not from the mutant TN2△cag. Moreover, in the presence of monoclonal anti-MIF antibody, the stimulatory effects of the wild-type strain on cell proliferation disappeared.CONCLUSION: H pylori stimulates MIF release in monocytes, likely through its cag PAI, but not related to cagA or cagE. H pylori-stimulated monocyte culture supernatant increases gastric cell proliferation, which is blocked by anti-MIF antibody, suggesting that MIF plays an important role in H pylori-induced gastric epithelial cell proliferation. | Harry Hua-Xiang Xia Shiu Kum Lam Annie O.O.Chan Marie Chia Mi Lin Hsiang Fu Kung Keiji Ogura Douglas E.Berg Benjamin Chun-Yu Wong | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,13: | 12 |
| 6 | NF-κB and ERK-signaling pathways contribute to the gene expression induced by cag PAI-positive-Helicobacter pylori infection显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the sequential gene expression profile in AGS cells co-cultured with wild-type Hellcobacter pylori (Hpylon) as a model of H pylori-infected gastric epithelium, and to further examine the contribution of cag-pathogenicity islands (cagPAI)-coding type Ⅳ secretion system and the two pathways, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) on wild-type H pylori-induced gene expression. METHODS: Gene expression profiles induced by H pylori were evaluated in AGS gastric epithelial cells using cDNA microarray, which were present in the 4 600 independent clones picked up from the human gastric tissue. We also analyzed the contribution of NF-κB and ERK signaling on H pylori-induced gene expression by using inhibitors of specific signal pathways. The isogenic mutant with disrupted capE (△cagE) was used to elucidate the role of capPAI-encoding type Ⅳ secretion system in the gene expression profile. RESULTS: According to the expression profile, the genes were classified into four clusters. Among them, the clusters characterized by continuous upregulation were most conspicuous, and it contained many signal transducer activity-associated genes. The role of cagPAI on cultured cells was also investigated using isogenic mutant cagE, which carries non-functional cagPAI. Then the upregulation of more than 80% of the induced genes (476/566) was found to depend on cagPAI. Signal transducer pathway through NF-κB or ERK are the major pathways which are known to be activated by cagPAI-positive H pylori. The role of these pathways in the whole signal activation by cagPAI- positive H pylori was analyzed. The specific inhibitors against NF-κB or ERK pathway blocked the activation of gene expression in 65% (367/566) or 76% (429/566) of the genes whose activation appealed to depend on cagPAI. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that more than half of the genes induced by cagPAI-positive H pylori depend on NF-κB and ERK signaling activation, and these pathways may play a role in the gene expression induced by host-bacterial interaction which may associate with H pylori-related gastro-duodenal diseases. | Wataru Shibata Yoshihiro Hirata Haruhiko Yoshida Motoyuki Otsuka Yujin Hoshida Keiji Ogura Shin Maeda Tomoya Ohmae Ayako Yanai Yuzo Mitsuno Naohiko Seki Takao Kawabe Masao Omata | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,39: | 12 |
| 7 | Systematic review of laparoscopic vs open surgery for colorectal cancer in elderly patients显示文摘AIM: To verify the safety and validity of laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancer in elderly patients.METHODS: A meta-analysis was performed of a systematic search of studies on an electronic database. Studies that compared laparoscopic colectomy(LAC) in elderly colorectal cancer patients with open colectomy(OC) were retrieved, and their short and long-term outcomes compared. Elderly people were defined as 65 years old or more. Inclusion criteria were set at: Resection of colorectal cancer, comparison between laparoscopic and OC and no significant difference in backgrounds between groups.RESULTS: Fifteen studies were identified for analysis. LAC was performed on 1436 patients, and OC performed on 1810 patients. In analyses of short-term outcomes, operation time for LAC was longer than for OC(mean difference = 34.4162, 95%CI: 17.8473-50.9851, P < 0.0001). The following clinical parameters were lower in LAC than in OC: Amount of estimated blood loss(mean difference =-93.3738, 95%CI:-132.3437 to-54.4039, P < 0.0001), overall morbidity(OR = 0.5427, 95%CI: 0.4425-0.6655, P < 0.0001), incisional surgical site infection(OR = 0.6262, 95%CI: 0.4310-0.9097, P = 0.0140), bowel obstruction and ileus(OR = 0.6248, 95%CI: 0.4519-0.8638, P = 0.0044) and cardiovascular complications(OR = 0.4767, 95%CI: 0.2805-0.8101, P = 0.0062). In analyses of long-term outcomes(median follow-up period: 36.4 mo in LAC, 34.3 mo in OC), there was no significant difference in overall survival(mean difference = 0.8321, 95%CI: 0.5331-1.2990, P = 0.4187) and disease specific survival(mean difference = 1.0254, 95%CI: 0.6707-1.5675, P = 0.9209). There was also no significant difference in the number of dissected lymph nodes(mean difference =-0.1360, 95%CI:-4.0553-3.7833, P = 0.9458).CONCLUSION: LAC in elderly colorectal cancer patients had benefits in short-term outcomes compared with OC except operation time. The long-term outcomes and oncological clearance of LAC were similar to that of OC. These results support the assertion that LAC is an effective procedure for elderly patients with colorectal cancer. | Shoichi Fujii Mitsuo Tsukamoto Yoshihisa Fukushima Ryu Shimada Koichi Okamoto Takeshi Tsuchiya Keijiro Nozawa Keiji Matsuda Yojiro Hashiguchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016,8,7: | 10 |
| 8 | KL-6 mucin expression in carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater: Association with cancer progression显示文摘AIM: To assess histochemical expression of KL-6 and its clinicopathological significance in carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater.METHODS: Ampullary carcinoma tissues were collected from 38 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy or local resection. Tissues were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis using KL-6 antibody.RESULTS: Positive staining of ampullary carcinoma cells was observed in 26 (68.4%) cases. Staining was not found in the surrounding non-cancer regions of the ampullary tissues. Remarkable KL-6 expression was observed in invasive carcinoma cells in pancreatic and duodenal tissues and in metastatic carcinoma cells in lymph nodes. Positive KL-6 expression was related to lymph node metastasis (P = 0.020), pancreatic invasion (P = 0.016), duodenal invasion (P = 0.034), and advanced stage of TNM clinical classification (P = 0.010). Survival analysis showed that positive expression of KL-6 was related to a poorer prognosis (P = 0.029).CONCLUSION: The aberrant expression of KL-6 mucin is significantly related to unfavorable behaviors of carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. | Wei Tang Yoshinori Inagaki Norihiro Kokudo Qian Guo Yasuji Seyama Munehiro Nakata Hiroshi Imamura Keiji Sano Yasuhiko Sugawara Masatoshi Makuuchi | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,35: | 10 |

| 14 | Clinical applications of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated fluorescence for gastric cancer显示文摘5-aminolevulinic acid(ALA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that is a protoporphyrin IX(Pp IX) precursor and a next-generation photosensitive substance. After exogenous administration of ALA, Pp IX specifically accumulates in cancer cells owing to the impaired metabolism of ALA to Pp IX in mitochondria, which results in a red fluorescence following irradiation with blue light and the formation of singlet oxygen. Fluorescence navigation by photodynamic diagnosis(PDD) using ALA provides good visualization and detection of gastric cancer lesions and is a potentially valuable diagnostic tool for gastric cancer for evaluating both the surgical resection margins and extension of the lesion. Furthermore, PDD using ALA might be used to detect peritoneal metastases during preoperative staging laparoscopy, where it could provide useful information for the selection of a therapeutic approach. Another promising application for this modality is in the evaluation of lymph node metastases. Photodynamic therapy(PDT) using ALA to cause selective damage based on the accumulation of a photosensitizer in malignant tissue is expected to be a non-invasive endoscopic treatment for superficial early gastric cancer. ALA has the potential to be used not only as a diagnostic agent but also as a therapeutic drug, resulting in a new strategy for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Here, we review the current use of PDD and PDT in gastric cancer and evaluate its future potential beyond conventional modalities combined with a light energy upconverter, a light-emitting diode and nearinfrared rays as light sources. | Tsutomu Namikawa Tomoaki Yatabe Keiji Inoue Taro Shuin Kazuhiro Hanazaki | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,29: | 6 |

| 16 | Prediction of slope failure due to earthquake显示文摘The earthquake-triggered landslides and slope failures are common phenomena during strong earthquakes and have drawn more attention from the world because of severe hazards they induced. These hazards usually cannot be prevented by current mitigating measures, thus, it becomes more and more important to develop a precise technique for the risk assessment of earthquake-induced failures in the mountainous area. The application of discrimination analysis method is proved to be successful and effective in the prediction of earthquake-triggered landslides and slope failures in the region of Imokawa Basin in Japan. Discriminant score can be used to assess the relative risk of slope failures, as the score increases, the possibility of slope failures occurrence increases accordingly. At the same time, the variables in the judgement formula, such as slope gradient, slope curvature and seismic peak ground acceleration, are easy to obtain. This advantage makes this method more practical and manipulable than others at present. In order to apply this method more effectively, there are still several problems to resolve. | CHEN XiaoLi KATO Nobuaki TSUNAKI Ryosuke MUKAI Keiji | 2009 | Chinese Science Bulletin2009,54,16: | 5 |
| 17 | Targeting hyaluronan for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma显示文摘Progression of cancer is often associated with interactions between cancer cells and extracellular matrix(ECM) surrounding them. Increasing evidence has suggested that accumulation of hyaluronan(HA), a major component of ECM, provides a favorable microenvironment for cancer progression. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC) is characterized typically by a dense desmoplastic stroma with a large amount of HA, making this molecule as an attractive target for therapy. Several studies have shown efficacy of inhibitors of HA synthesis or signaling for the treatment of PDAC. Recent studies have also demonstrated substantial improvements in the effects of chemotherapy by a targeted depletion of stromal HA in PDAC using an enzymatic agent. Thus, targeting HA has been recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy to treat this highly aggressive neoplasm. In this review article, we summarize our current understanding of the role of HA in the progression of PDAC and discuss possible therapeutic approaches targeting HA. | Norihiro Sato Xiao-Bo Cheng Shiro Kohi Atsuhiro Koga Keiji Hirata | 2016 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2016,6,2: | 5 |
| 18 | Familial pancreatic cancer: Concept, management and issues显示文摘Familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) is broadly defined as two first-degree-relatives with pancreatic cancer (PC) and accounts for 4%-10% of PC. Several genetic syndromes, including Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, hereditary pancreatitis, hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome(HBOC), Lynch syndrome, and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), also have increased risks of PC, but the narrowest definition of FPC excludes these known syndromes. When compared with other familial tumors, proven genetic alterations are limited to a small proportion (<20%) and the familial aggregation is usually modest. However, an ethnic deviation (Ashkenazi Jewish>Caucasian) and a younger onset are common also in FPC. In European countries, 'anticipation' is reported in FPC families, as with other hereditary syndromes; a trend toward younger age and worse prognosis is recognized in the late years. The resected pancreases of FPC kindred often show multiple pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (Pan IN) foci, with various K-ras mutations, similar to colorectal polyposis seen in the FAP patients. As with HBOC patients, a patient who is a BRCA mutation carrier with unresectable pancreatic cancer (accounting for 0%-19% of FPC patients) demonstrated better outcome following platinum and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor treatment. Western countries have established FPC registries since the 1990 s and several surveillance projects for highrisk individuals are now ongoing to detect early PCs. Improvement in lifestyle habits, including non-smoking, is recommended for individuals at risk. In Japan, the FPC study group was initiated in 2013 and the Japanese FPC registry was established in 2014 by the Japan Pancreas Society. | Hiroyuki Matsubayashi Kyoichi Takaori Chigusa Morizane Hiroyuki Maguchi Masamichi Mizuma Hideaki Takahashi Keita Wada Hiroko Hosoi Shinichi Yachida Masami Suzuki Risa Usui Toru Furukawa Junji Furuse Takamitsu Sato Makoto Ueno Yoshimi Kiyozumi Susumu Hijioka Nobumasa Mizuno Takeshi Terashima Masaki Mizumoto Yuzo Kodama Masako Torishima Takahisa Kawaguchi Reiko Ashida Masayuki Kitano Keiji Hanada Masayuki Furukawa Ken Kawabe Yoshiyuki Majima Toru Shimosegawa | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,6: | 5 |
| 19 | Non-bismuth quadruple therapy for first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication:A randomized study in Japan显示文摘AIM:To find the way to improve the eradication rate of first-line therapy in Japanese patients.METHODS:We prospectively compared the effectiveness of 7-d quadruple therapy to standard 7 d triple therapy in Japanese patients infected with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori).One hundred and nineteen patients were randomly assigned to receive 7-d non-bismuth quadruple therapy with lansoprazole,amoxicillin,clarithromycin and metronidazole(LACM7) or 7-d triple therapy with lansoprazole,amoxicillin and clarithromycin(LAC7).After three months,H.pylori status was analyzed by 13C-urea breath test.Incidence rates of adverse events were evaluated by use of questionnaires.RESULTS:By intention-to-treat(ITT) analysis,the eradication rate in the LACM7 group was 94.9%,which was significantly higher than the LAC7 group(68.3%,P < 0.001).Per protocol analysis also showed a significantly higher eradication rate in the LACM7 group(98.3%) than the LAC7 group(73.2%,P < 0.001).Nevertheless,the incidence of serious adverse events did not differ between the two groups(RR:1.10,95% CI:0.70-1.73,P = 0.67).CONCLUSION:Seven day non-bismuth quadruple therapy(LACM7) was superior to standard 7-d triple therapy(LAC7) for first-line eradication. | Ayako Yanai Kei Sakamoto Masao Akanuma Keiji Ogura Shin Maeda | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2012,3,1: | 5 |
| 20 | Scirrhous hepatocellular carcinoma displaying atypical findings on imaging studies显示文摘We describe a 15-mm scirrhous hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in a 60-year-old man with B-type cirrhosis.Ultrasound disclosed a 15-mm hypoechoic nodule in segment 7.Contrast-enhanced US revealed heterogeneous,not diffuse,hypervascularity in the early phase and a defect in the Kupffer phase.Contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT) revealed a heterogeneous hypervascular nodule in the early phase and a low-density area in the late phase.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) revealed iso-to hypointensity at T1 and high intensity at T2-weighted sequences.Contrast-enhanced MRI also revealed a heterogeneous hypervascular nodule in the early phase and washout in the late phase.Super-paramagnetic iron oxide-MRI revealed a hyperintense nodule.CT during hepatic arteriography and CT during arterial portography revealed heterogeneous hyperattenuation and a perfusion defect,respectively.Based on these imaging findings the nodule was diagnosed as a mixed well-differentiated and moderately-differentiated HCC.Histologically,the nodule was moderately-differentiated HCC characterized by typical cytological and structural atypia with dense fibrosis.Immunohistochemically,the nodule was positive for heterochromatin protein 1 and alpha-smooth muscle actin,and negative for cytokeratin 19.From the above findings,the nodule was diagnosed as scirrhous HCC.Clinicians engaged in hepatology should exercise caution with suspected scirrhous HCC when imaging studies reveal atypical findings,as shown in our case on the basis of chronic liver disease. | Soo Ryang Kim Susumu Imoto Taisuke Nakajima Kenji Ando Keiji Mita Katsumi Fukuda Ryo Nishikawa Yu-ichiro Koma Toshiyuki Matsuoka Masatoshi Kudo Yoshitake Hayashi | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,18: | 4 |
