I) 지금까지 만성골수성백혈병의 치료법으로서 골수이식이나 인터페론의 투여등이 시행되어왔으며 백혈병세포에서 Interleukin-1$\beta$(이하 IL-1$\beta$)이 자율적으로 생성됨이 보고 되어 이러한 질병의 진행에 IL-1$\beta$의 활성증가가 관련될것이라는 견해가 대두되어 왔다. 최근 단핵구성백혈병 환자의 소변에서 분리된 IL-1수용체 길항제(1L-1 receptor antagonist: IL-lRA)가 clonig되었고 인터페론치료에 저항하는 환자들의 치료에 IL-1RA 가 이용될수 있을것이라는 견해가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 유전공학연구소가 분리 정제한 IL-1RA가 만성골수백혈병 환자로부터 유래한 K562세포주의 증식에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 알파인터페론과의 병용투여시의 상호작용에 관해 검토하였다.

Purpose: The granulocytic sarcoma which developed in leukemic patients are quite rare and it will have bad prognosis, but it's tumor pathogenesis and also their treatment are not yet established. Through this study we have tried to know their clinical course, prognosis and their end result of recent treatment. Material and Methods: Total 20 patients of granulocytic sarcoma which were developed in total 2,197 leukemic patients from April, 1998 to September, 2004 were treated at the leukemic center and the orthopaedic department of St. Mary's hospital, Catholic University of Korea, and followed them for 1~78 months(average 18 months). Results: Total 20 cases of granulocytic sarcoma was found in 14 cases of total 1,331 acute myelocytic leukemic patients(AML), 4 cases of total 744 of chronic myelocytic leukemic patients(CML), and only one case in total 122 of acute biphenotype of leukemia. And so their occurrence rate in leukmic patients are actually 0.91%, total 20 cases of granulocytic sarcoma in total 2,197 leukemic patients at same period. Their ages are average 28.3 years(4~52 years), and male are predominant(13 cases) than female(7 cases). Single involvement was found in 11 cases but multiple lesions are in 9 cases, and spine, brain, extremities, chest, and pelvic bone are involved in frequency. The granulocytic sarcoma was developed in various stages of the leukemia, ie, 8 cases in complete remission of leukemia, and 12 cases in the treatment process of AML. The pathohistologic evaluation of granulocytic sarcoma was done in 6 cases which was developed in their extremities, and confirmed numerous immature myeloblasts and lymphocytes mixed. The treatment of these granulocytic sarcoma was mainly limited for the treatment of leukemia by Glivac and massive steroid therapy(19cases) and also combined with the bone marrow transplantation(13 cases), but radiation therapy with average 3,500 rads in 15 cases out of total 20 sarcomas was also done, and followed them for average 17.5 months after development of granulocytic sarcomas. Finally their prognosis was so bad that 12 patients(60%) out of total 20 granulocytic sarcoma were dead in 6.5 months after sarcoma developed and we found the granulocytic sarcoma was more fatal if they are developed during the process of CML(mortality: 100%(4/4cases). Conclusion: The prognosis of granulocytic sarcomas in leukemic patients are quite fatal, and much more studies for their pathogenesis and ways of treatment should be performed continuously.

To verify the association between susceptibility to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and GSTM1, GSTT1 gene polymorphisms in Asian populations, 9 papers published until July 2017 were cited in a meta-analysis. The null present types of the GSTM1, GSTT1 gene were analyzed individually. The significant association was found between CML and GST polymorphism (GSTM1; OR=1.306, 95% CI=1.091-1.563, p=0.004, GSTT1; OR=1.987, 95% CI=1.438-2.746, p=0.000). In addition, there was association between CML and the null type of the combination GSTM1-GSTT1 polymorphisms (OR=4.191, 95% CI=2.833-6.201, p=0.000). Thus, genetic polymorphisms of the GSTM1, GSTT1 and combination GSTM1-GSTT1 polymorphism in Asian populations may be risk factors for CML.

Between July 1987 and December 1992, we treated 22 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia; 14 in the chronic phase and 8 with more advanced disease. All were received with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from HLA-identical sibling donors after a total body irradiation(TBI) cyclophosphamide conditioning regimen. Patients were non-randomly assigned to either 1200 cGy/6fractions/3days (6 patients) or 1320 cGy/8 fractions/4days (16 patients) by dose of TBI. Of the 22 patients, 8 were prepared with cyclophosphamide alone, 14 were conditioned with additional adriamycin or daunorubicin. To prevent graft versus host disease, cyclosporine was given either alone or in conjunction with methotrexate. The actuarial survival and leukemic-free survival at four years were $58.5\%$ and $41.2\%$, respectively, and the relapse rate was $36\%$ among 22 patients. There was a statistically significant difference in survival between the patients in chronic phase and more advanced phase ($76\%\;vs\;33\%$, p=0.05). The relapse rate of patients receiving splenectomy was higher than that of patients receiving splenic irradiation ($50\%\;vs\;0\%$, p=0.04). We conclude that the probability of cure is highest if transplantation is performed while the patients remains in the chronic phase.

From January 1975 to March 1978, 18 cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia diagnosed at Kyungpook National University Hospital were tested by hepatosplenic scanning with $^{198}Au$ colloidal gold. The photo scanning findings in relation to clinical and laboratory findings are following. 1) Male to female ratio was 2:1 and 2nd and 3rd decades were predominant. 2) No focal space-occupying lesion was noticed both in the liver and spleen. 3) 4 cases revealed well visualization of spleen, 7 cases poor visualization, and 7 cases nonvisualization. 4) No significant difference between well visualization group and poor visualization group was noted in clinical findings, liver function test and hematologic findings. 5) Cases with nonvisualization of the spleen tended to be associated with thrombocytopenia, decreased megakaryocytes in the marrow and longer duration of the illness.

Large vessel vasculitis is characterized by chronic inflammation within the aortic wall and its major branches. The inflammation is considered to occur as a result of immune dysregulation. Hematologic malignancy is one of the rare causes of secondary vasculitis. Herein, we report a rare case of large vessel vasculitis associated with acute myeloid leukemia mimicking primary vasculitis.

Chronic Iymphocytic leukemia is a general disease that evolves over a longer duration and is characterized by more mature and well-differentiated Iymphocytes in blood and bone marrow than those seen in acute leukemia. This report presents a 2-year-old mix neutered male dog with seizure, ascites, and transmissible venereal tumor. Diagnostic works-up concluded chronic Iymphocytic leukemia. Chemotherapy composed of chlorambucil and prednisolone has been applied to the patient until now. Remission of almost manifestations was achieved, and the quality of life improved.

Splenic irradiation in chronic myelogenous leukemia is reserved for patients who have painful splenemegaly despite chemotherapy and/or inoperable splenomegaly because of huge size. The role of splenic irradiation is diminution of painful splenomegaly and indirect effect of splenic irradiation on unirradiated hematopoietic and lymphoreticular tissue such as reduction of leukocyte count and increase of hemoglobin level. We report on a useful clinical method for splenic irradiation in chronic myelogenous leukemia. We have used sonography as the tool of simulation. The portal size using modified method is smaller than the field size of conventional simulation, and so this method suggests that useful to irradiation of huge splenomegaly, effective shielding of critical organ and the downfall of complication during irradiation of spleen.
