Mammalian central synapses exhibit vast heterogeneity in signaling strength. To understand the extent of this diversity, how it is achieved, and its functional implications, characterization of a large number of individual synapses is required. Using glutamate imaging, we characterized the evoked release probability and spontaneous release frequency of over 24,000 individual synapses. We found striking variability and no correlation between action potential-evoked and spontaneous synaptic release strength, suggesting distinct regulatory mechanisms. Subpixel localization of individual evoked and spontaneous release events reveals tight spatial regulation of evoked release and enhanced spontaneous release outside of evoked release region. Using on-stage post hoc immune-labeling of vesicle-associated proteins, Ca2+-sensing proteins, and soluble presynaptic proteins we were able to show that distinct molecular ensembles are associated with evoked and spontaneous modes of synaptic release.
Complications unique to laparoscopic surgery have been reported, including port site hernia. We experienced a case of port site hernia in the robotic right-hand port site measuring 8mm in diameter after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
A 56-year-old man was indicated a high prostate-specific antigen level of 37.8ng/ml. Subsequent prostate biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 4+4. The patient underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Juntendo Hospital. Although his postoperative recovery was generally good, the patient complained of sudden nausea and acute abdominal pain. A contrast computed tomography scan showed an ileus due to a hernia occurring at the robotic right-hand port, the da Vinci Arm I port. We released incarceration under laparoscopic procedure.
Since the port diameter is relatively small in robot-assisted surgery, port site hernias are expected to be rare. However, careful attention should be paid to the positional deviation of the remote center.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent urological cancer for older men. However, there is still a possibility that a few prostate cancer patients may still wish to have children.
A 49-year-old male was diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer. Combined anti-androgen blockade therapy was performed for 8months prior to radiation therapy. However, he suffered from ejaculatory dysfunction and wished to conceive with his partner. Hormonal therapy was discontinued and he was referred to our clinic for sperm preservation. His ejaculatory function did not recover after 4months discontinuation of hormonal therapy, subsequently micro-testicular sperm extraction for sperm preservation was successfully performed.
Sperm preservation in patients with prostate cancer is unusual but it should be considered if the patient's fertility is an issue.

Prostate sarcoma is an extremely rare disease with a poor prognosis. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma has never been described in the prostate.
A 27-year-old man complained of frequent urination and dysuria for several years. Various examinations were suggestive of prostate sarcoma. The pathological diagnosis was confirmed as prostate sarcoma via ultrasound-guided transrectal needle biopsy. Because the location of the tumor in the prostate was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging, we performed robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The final pathological diagnosis was undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Local recurrence occurred at the front of the rectum 2months after surgery. Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy were initially effective, he died 18months after surgery.
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the prostate is believed to have a poor prognosis. When selecting the surgical procedure, functionality should be considered for individual cases with complete resection.

Cell-free DNA is suggested as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, it remains unknown which parameter of cell-free DNA is correlated with the progression and prognosis of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
A 75-year-old man with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (serum prostate-specific antigen 4891ng/mL, Gleason score 4+5=9, cT3bN1M1) was referred to our department. He first received sequential hormonal therapies and was consequently diagnosed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer 64months after initial treatment. He underwent serial examinations of plasma cell-free DNA, including concentration, androgen receptor amplification, TP53 point mutation, and PTEN loss. Only the cell-free DNA concentration increased along with disease progression and declined after the administration of abiraterone and enzalutamide.
This case presented that cell-free DNA concentration was possibly correlated with response to castration-resistant prostate cancer treatment and disease progression. Cell-free DNA concentration was proposed as a potential prognostic biomarker of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Mucinous cystic neoplasms are uncommon among the tumors that develop in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with pathological considerations.
A 47-year-old woman complaining of abdominal discomfort presented at our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large cystic tumor with small solid nodules located in the right retroperitoneum. The tumor was completely removed and the microscopic findings were consistent with primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Ko143 order Two years after the surgery, the patient is alive without recurrence of the tumor.
The microscopic findings suggested that the primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma developed from the metaplasia of the remnant coelomic epithelium. A complete tumor resection that includes the adjacent peritoneum is important to prevent local recurrence.
