In order to examine the anticarcinogenic effects of garlic juice on the hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis induced by 9, 10-dimethyl-1, 2-benzanthracene (DMBA) totally 135 hamster.0.5% DMBA in mineral oil were painted onto the hamster buccal pouch three times a week on 50th, 70th and 90th day, while normal saline, 1% and 3% garlic juice were forced to oral tube feeding. Tumor cell induction could be seen on 50th experimental day, presumed to early carcinogenic inductive stage. And the tumor cells proliferated rapidly thereafter, so 70th and 90th experimental day were chosen for the comparison of anticarcinogenic effect of garlic juice. The every specimens were fixed in 10% buffered formalin for routine histopathological observation and also fixed in Carnoy's solution for the BrdU immunohistochemital detection of S-stage tumor cell distribution during the carcinogenesis. There showed more or less increased anticarcinogenic effect of garlic juice against DMBA induced hamster buccal pouch carcinoma, increased comparing to the control group showing invasive tumor growth after all histopathologically, BrdU immunoreactivity on normal pouch mucosa epithelium, representing the mitotic status, more decreased in the garlic juice feeding group than the control group. Meanwhile the neoplastic epithelium of all experimental groups showed much increased BrdU immunostaining irregularly.

폐암을 집단 검진으로 조기 진단하려는 노력은 현재까지 뚜렷한 성과를 얻지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 미국의 국립암연구소에서 실시한 흉부엑스선 촬영과 객담세포진 검사를 이용한 폐암의 집단 검진 결과는 검진군에서 대조군보다 유의하게 진단율이 높았으며 절제율도 더 높았고 5년 생존율도 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 폐암을 조기 진단하기 위한 집단 검진의 궁극적인 목표인 사망률을 감소시키지는 못하였다. 최근에는 미국 국립암 연구기관에서 실시했던 결과에 대한 해석이 다양하여 아직까지도 폐암 조기 진단에 있어서 흉부액스선촬영과 객담세포진검사의 의의에 관한 결론에 대해서는 논란이 되고 있다. 1993년부터 새로운 집단 검진에 관한 연구가 진행중에 있어서 그 결과가 나올 때까지는 흉부엑스선촬영과 객담세포진검사를 이용한 집단 검진의 의의에 대한 결과는 기다려 보아야 할 것이다. 분자생물학적으로 폐암을 조기 검진하기 위한 검체로는 혈액보다는 객담이 훨씬 적절하고 합리적인 검체이다. 폐암의 발생은 가장 먼저 기관지 상피 세포에서 일어나서 암화 과정의 여러 단계에서 다양한 종양 표지자가 객담에 섞여 나오기 때문에 이 표지자를 객담에서 측정하는 것이 훨씬 합리적인 조기 진단법이 될 수 있다. 동시에 폐암을 집단 검진으로 조기 진단하기 위해서는 종양 표지자를 대량으로 측정하기 위한 자동측정법도 개발되어야 할 것이다. 암을 예방하기 위하여는 여러면에서 방안이 연구되어야 한다. 즉 암발생의 가능성이 높은 대상을 선태하여야 하며 초기에 집단 검진으로 진단을 할 수 있어야 하고, 이러한 검진으로 추적 검사가 가능하여야 하며 마지막으로 결과를 판정할 수 있어야 한다. 이 가운데 현재까지 유일하게 실시할 수 없는 것은 조기 진단으로 사용할 수 있는 뚜렷한 종양 표지자가 없는 것이다. 이와 같이 현재까지는 폐암을 조기 진단하기 위한 특이한 표지자는 없으나 앞으로 폐암 발생 기전의 여러 단계가 체계적으로 밝혀진다면 그 과정에서 중요한 표지자들이 밝혀질 것이다. 그리고 이들을 간단하게 검사할 수 있는 검사법도 밝혀져 폐암 조기 진단의 궁극적 목적인 폐암으로 인한 사망률을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

콩은 중요한 식량 작물로 단백질, 기름 및 이차대사산물인 이소플라본을 다량으로 함유하고 있다. 이소플라본은 폴리페놀의 일종으로 일부 암을 예방하며 심혈관 질환을 완화하는 데에도 도움을 준다고 알려져 있다. 콩에 인위적으로 식물호르몬인 ABA를 처리할 때 이차대사산물인 kaempferol의 함량이 증가한다고 보고 되었다. 따라서 이 연구는 식물 생장조정제 처리가 콩잎의 이소플라본 함량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구는 밀양 남부작물부 유리온실에서 수행되었으며, 콩(품종:선풍)은 와그너포트 1/2000에 1주 2본 파종하여 재배하였다. Ethephone(500, 1000, 2000 ppm)과 ABA(100, 200, 400 ppm)를 사용하였으며 각각 R2, R5, R7기에 처리하였다. 처리 후 잎을 5일 간격으로 3회 채취하여 이소플라본 6종과 쿠메스트롤의 함량을 분석하였다. 초고성능 액체 크로마토그래피(Acquity UPLC H-Class system, Waters)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이소플라본 함량은 R5 단계에서 전반적으로 높게 나타났으며, R2 및 R7 단계에서는 무처리와 유사한 수준을 보였다. ABA를 처리하였을 때 생장조정제 간의 차이가 에테폰보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 쿠메스트롤 함량은 처리시간에 따라 R7, R5, R2 순으로 높은 것으로 확인되었으며, 처리시간이 지날수록 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 생장조정제 처리에 쿠메스트롤 함량은 ABA보다 에세폰 처리 시 더 높은 경향을 보였다.

This study was peformed to determine the anticarcinogenic activity of the Solanum tuberosum Peel (SP) on several microorganisms and human cancer cell lines. Among the various solvent fractions of SP, the ethylether Partition layer (SPMEE) showed the strongest antimicrobial activity, ethylacetate partition layer (SPMEA) and butanol partition layer (SPMB) resulted in good antimicrobial activity. We also determined the effect of SP extract and fractions on cytotoxicity, and chemopreventive effect on human cancer cells. The experiment was conducted to determine cytotoxicity of SP partition layers on HepG2, HeLa and MCF-7 cells by MTT assay. Among the various partition layers of SP, SPMEE and SPW were showed the strongest cytotoxic effects on all cancer cell lines. The quinone reductase induced activities of HepG2 cell, the butanol partition layer (SPMB) at a does of 40 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL was 8.49 times more effective compared to the control value of 1.0. This value was significantly higher than that of previous results using the other materials. Therefore, based on these studies, SP may be developed into a potentially useful antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic agents.

Cruciferous vegetables including diindolylmethane (DIM) have been shown to have anticancer activity. Especially, DIM-pPhBr and DIM-pPhF used in this study was reported to have more effective and less toxic effects than DIM. However, there is no report presenting their anti-tumorigenic activity in oral cancer. In the present study, we examined the effects of DIM-pPhBr and DIM-pPhF on the cell proliferation and apoptosis in KB human oral cancer cells. DIM-pPhBr and DIM-pPhF decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis evidenced by western blot analysis, DAPI staining and sub-$G_1$ population. This provides the first evidence that DIM-pPhBr and DIM-pPhF originating from Cruciferous vegetables induce apoptotic cell death in human oral cancer cells to inhibit cancer cell proliferation.

Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCD) account for 24% of the causes of death to Koreans and its proportion is the highest except cancer. Currently, the risk of the cardiovascular disease for domestic patients is based on the Framingham risk score (FRS), but accuracy tends to decrease because it is a foreign guideline. Also, it can't score the risk of cerebrovascular disease. CCD is hard to predict, because it is difficult to analyze the features of early symptoms for prevention. Therefore, proper prediction method for Koreans is needed. The purpose of this paper is validating IG-MLP (Information Gain - Multilayer Perceptron) evaluation based feature selection method using CCD data with simulation. The proposed method uses the raw data of the 4^th ~ 7^th of The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). To select the important feature of CCD, analysis on the attributes using IG-MLP are processed, finally CCD prediction ANN model using optimize feature set is provided. Proposed method can find important features of CCD prediction of Koreans, and ANN model could predict more accurate CCD for Koreans.

General information is summarized, that is necessary to introduce a scientific assessment of the human health and exposure issue concerning dioxin and dioxin-like compound. Scientific literatures were reviewed to assess the background exposures to the dioxin-like compounds for normal residents. Epidemiologic studies were also reviewed to assess malignant and nonmalignant sweets of dioxins. In 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as a human carcinogen, primarily based on occupational cohort studies. The US Environmental Protection Agency made the same decision in it's Draft Dioxin Reassessment. Epidemiologic evidences point to a generalized excess of all cancers, without any pronounced excess at specific sites. Reported non-cancer effects included a range of conditions affecting most systems. Among them, chloracne, elevation in gamma glutamyl transferase(GGT), and alterations in reproductive hormones are related to TCDO, Other adverse outcomes, such as lipid concentrations, diabetes, circulatory and heart diseases, immunologic disorders, neurobehavioral effects, and developmental outcomes require further study before their respective relationships to TCDD can be more definitively assessed.

Purpose: Although the number of cancer survivors is increasing because of early diagnosis and better treatment, they are worried about relapses and metastasis. This study examined the dietary safety management awareness, capacity, and behavior of cancer survivors. Methods: Data were collected from 233 cancer survivors in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas using a self-administered 5-Likert questionnaire from March to May 2018. Frequency analysis, one-way analysis of variance, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis were analyzed using the SPSS. Results: The average score for each factor was as follows: importance of weight management (3.83), education requirement (3.79), unhealthy diet (reverse, 3.64), food safety anxiety (3.34), lack of awareness of over and malnutrition (reverse, 3.26), obsession (3.23), cooking capacity (3.16), health-function pursuit (3.04), balanced diet (2.93), and chronic disease anxiety (2.64). The average dietary safety competency factors were significantly lower among the male survivors, aged 60-80 years, lower economic condition, and less nutritional supplement intake. Female survivors comprised the highest proportion with high health management and cooking capacity, while men had the lowest of all the factors (p < 0.001). The group that was low in all three capacity factors had a significantly lower average score of difficulty in acquiring knowledge (reverse), lack of awareness of over- and malnutrition (reverse), importance of weight management, education requirement, knowledge, balanced diet, and health-functional pursuit compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: To effectively manage health, dietary safety management education should be differentiated and actively conducted according to sex, age, cancer diagnosis time, economic status, nutritional supplement intake, and the capacity cluster of cancer survivors.

Contents of the total polyphenols and flavonoids in the dietary fiber from tubers and stalks of domestic sweet potatoes were investigated. In addition, their antioxidant activity as well as the potent anti-cancer effects through the growth inhibition in human colon cancer cells (HT-29) in vitro were tested. The total flavonoids as naringin equivalents in dietary fiber from tubers and stalks of sweet potatoes were $0.5{\pm}0.001$ naringin/g extract and $2.0{\pm}0.008$ mg naringin/g extract dry basis, respectively. The amounts of the total polyphenols as gallic acid equivalents were $2.8{\pm}0.01$ mg gallic acid/g dry basis and $6.3{\pm}0.03$ mg gallic acid/g dry basis, respectively. 1,2-Diphenyi-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity of the dietary fiber from stalks was 2.4 times higher than that of the dietary fiber from tubers. Interestingly, a strong growth inhibition on HT-29 cells was observed in both dietary fibers originated from stalks and tubers of sweet potato in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, we found that the dietary fiber from tubers and stalks of sweet potato increased the gene expression of tumor suppressor p53. The great potential value in the prevention of various diseases including cancer the potential value could be confirmed through effects of the dietary fiber from tubers and stalks of sweet potato on antioxidant activity and anticancer in human colon cancer.
