  • Nasal-type extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is a highly invasive cancer with a poor prognosis. More effective and safer treatment regimens for ENKL are needed. Pegaspargase (PEG-Asp) has a similar mechanism of action to L-asparaginase (L-Asp), but presents lower antigenicity. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the safety profile and the latent efficacy of a PEG-Asp-based treatment regimen in patients with ENKL. Data collected from 20 patients with histologically confirmed ENKL, admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2009 to August 2013, were included in the study. All patients received $2500IU/m^2$/IM PEG-Asp on day 1 of every 21-day treatment cycle. Patients received combination chemotherapy with CHOP (n=5), EPOCH (n=7), GEMOX (n=7) or CHOP with bleomycin (n=1). After 2-5 treatment cycles (median, 4 cycles) of PEG-Asp-based chemotherapy, five patients (25%) showed a complete response (CR), and the overall response rate (ORR) was 60%. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in fourteen patients (70%). Grade 3 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation was observed in two. Grade 1-2 non-hematological toxicity consisted of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) elongation (n=9), hypofibrinogenemia (n=6), hypoproteinemia (n=17), hyperglycemia (n=3), and nausea (n=6). No allergic reactions were detected. No treatment related death was reported. Our results suggested that PEG-Asp-based chemotherapy presented an acceptable tolerance and a potential short-term outcome in patients with nasal-type ENKL.

  • Background: Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has been widely used to prevent the massive blood loss during hepatic carcinoma. The influences of ANH on coagulation function are still controversy, especially in elderly patients. The study observed ANH effects on coagulation function and fibrinolysis in elderly patients undergoing the disease. Materials and Methods: Thirty elderly patients (aged 60-70 yr) with liver cancer (ASA I or II) taken hepatic carcinectomy from February 2007 to February 2008 were randomly divided into ANH group (n=15) and control group (n=15). After tracheal intubation, patients in ANH group and control group were infused with 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) and Ringer's solution, respectively. Blood samples were drawn from patients in both groups at five different time points: before anesthesia induction (T1), 30 min after ANH (T2), 1 h after start of operation (T3), immediately after operation (T4), and 24 h after operation (T5). Then coagulation function, soluble fibrin monomer complex (SFMC), prothrombin fragment (F1+2), and platelet membrane glycoprotein (CD62P and activated GP IIb/GP IIIa) were measured. Results: The perioperative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion were recorded during the surgery. The perioperative blood loss was not significantly different between two groups (p>0.05), but the volume of allogeneic blood transfusion in ANH group was significantly less than in control group ($350.0{\pm}70.7$) mL vs. ($457.0{\pm}181.3$) mL (p<0.01). Compared with the data of T1, the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) measured after T3 were significantly longer (p<0.05) in both groups, but within normal range. There were no significant changes of thrombin time (TT) and D-dimer between two groups at different time points (p>0.05). SFMC and F1+2 increased in both groups, but were not statistically significant. PAC-1-positive cells and CD62P expressions in patients of ANH group were significantly lower than those at T1 (p<0.05) and T2-T5 (p>0.05). Conclusions: ANH has no obvious impact on fibrinolysis and coagulation function in elderly patients undergoing resection of liver cancer. The study suggested that ANH is safe to use in elderly patients and it could reduce allogeneic blood transfusion.

  • Korean red ginseng has broad efficacious effects against hypertension, diabetes, nociception, and cancer, and it counteracts weakness. It has been reported that Korean red ginseng is able to normalize blood pressure, improve cholesterol and lower blood glucose levels. We have recently reported that Korean red ginseng extract (KRGE) significantly prevented rat carotid arterial thrombosis in vivo, and inhibited platelet aggregation ex vivo and in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of KRGE on blood circulation in human by measuring ex vivo platelet aggregation, plasma coagulation and serum lipid profiles in healthy volunteers. Subjects were randomly divided into three groups (placebo-group, KRGE-low dose group, KRGE-high dose group). Administration of KRGE to subjects significantly inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregations both in KRGE-low dose group from $72.79{\pm}20.53$ to $62.00{\pm}23.06%$ (p=0.0009), and in KRGE-high dose group from $75.14{\pm}21.86$ to $64.52{\pm}24.72%$ (p=0.0039), respectively. Administration of KRGE to subjects also significantly inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregations both in KRGE-low dose group from $85.52{\pm}12.57$ to $79.62{\pm}20.47%$ (p=0.0916), and in KRGE-high dose group from $80.24{\pm}18.11$ to $70.31{\pm}25.93%$ (p=0.0565), respectively. Whereas, KRGE has no significant effects on coagulation system, such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and serum lipid profiles, such as total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride. KRGE also has no significant effects on hematological and serum biochemical profiles. These results suggest that KRGE has a potential to improve blood circulation through antiplatelet activity in human, and KRGE intake may be beneficial for the individuals with high risks of thrombotic and cardiovascular diseases.

  • The antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) were examined on rat carotid artery thrombosis in vivo, and platelet aggregation in vitro and ex vivo. Administration of KRG to rats not only prevented carotid artery thrombosis in vivo in a dose-dependent manner, but also significantly inhibited ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation ex vivo, while failed to prolong coagulation times such as activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT), indicating the antithrombotic effect of KRG might be due to its anti platelet aggregation rather than anticoagulation effect. In line with the above observations, KRG inhibited U46619-, arachidonic acid-, collagen- and thrombin-induced rabbit platelet aggregation in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner, with $IC_{50}$ values of $620{\pm}12$, $823{\pm}22$, $722{\pm}21$ and $650{\pm}14\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Accordingly, KRG also inhibited various agonists-induced platelet serotonin secretions as it suppressed platelet aggregation. These results suggest that KRG has a potent antithrombotic effect in vivo, which may be due to antiplatelet rather than anticoagulation activity, and KRG intake may be beneficial to the individuals with high risks of thrombotic and cardiovascular diseases.

  • Purpose : The Purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of antithrombotic activities of Wuslsan (WSS). Methods : Measure the effect which was given to blood flow rate through the regular volume of glass tube after the blood was diluted five times with ACD soulution. Antithrombotic effect was calculated as a percentage of the experimental animal figure protected from the paralysis of hind legs or death of the mouse that is caused from the administration of platelet aggregation regent. Being classified one group of eight mice, each of them was divided into Normal, Control, and WSS. The normal group supplied a saline solution and the control group brought the dextran extravasated blood after an hour of administering the saline solution. Also WSS was dissolved in 2ml saline solution and then we dosed it to the experimental mice with Oral Zonde one day before the experiment. After that, the mice were abstained from food. And then we gave a measured amount of it before an hour. Finally, it gave rise to dextran extravasated blood in the same way as the Control group. Results : The results were obtained as follows. WSS inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP and epinephrine significantly as compared with the control group. WSS showed fibrinolytic activity insignificantly as compared with the control group. WSS increased blood flow rate significantly as compared with the control group in vitro. WSS inhibited pulmonary embolism induced by collagen and Epinephrine(inhibitive rate is 37.5%). WSS increased number of platelet and fibrinogen amount significantly, and shortened PT and APTT as compared with the control group in thrombus model induced by dextran. Conclusion : WSS is effective antithrombotic activity from experimental result.

  • This study was performed to evaluate antithrombotic activities of Saegeumsan (瑞金散, SGS) which has effects of activating blood, removing thrombus. This study is designed to measure the effect which was given to blood flow rate through the regular volume of glass tube after the blood was diluted five times with ACD solution. Antithrombotic effect was calculated as a percentage of the experimental animal figure protected from the paralysis of hind legs or death of the mouse that is caused from the administration of platelet aggregation regent. We standardized the time when the experimental animals were incapable of functioning the hind legs more than 20 minutes or maintained trembling. Being classified one group of eight mice, each of them was divided into Normal, Control, and SGS. The normal group supplied a saline solution and the control group brought the dextran extravasated blood after an hour of administering the saline solution. Also, SGS was dissolved in $2m{\ell}$ saline solution and then we dosed it to the experimental mice with Oral Zonde one day before the experiment. After that, the mice were abstained from food. And then we gave a measured amount of it before an hour. Finally, it gave rise to dextran extravasated blood in the same way as the Control group. The results were obtained as follows, SGS significantly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP and epinephrine when analyzed by the Sigmoid $E_{max}$ model in WinNonlin. $EC_{50}$ values of SGS were 4.61 mg/ml and 12.41 mg/ml for ADP and epinephrine respectively. SGS showed fibrinolytic activity insignificantly as compared with the control group. SGS increased blood flow rate significantly as compared with the control group in vitro. SGS inhibited pulmonary embolism induced by collagen and epinephrine(inhibitive rate is 37.5 %). SGS increased number of platelet and fibrinogen amount significantly, and shortened PT and APTT as compared with the control group in thrombus model induced by dextran. According to, SGS is effective antithrombotic activity from experimental result.

  • 연구목적: 만성 B형 간염의 간조직 소견은 진단 및 예후의 평가 뿐아니라 치료여부의 결정 및 치료효과의 평가를 위해서 중요하고, 이는 좀 더 객관적, 구체적, 포괄적으로 새롭게 분류할 필요성이 있다. 우리나라 소아의 만성 B형 간염의 빈도는 높을 것으로 추정되는데 아직 이에 대한 병리조직학적 고찰은 거의 없는 상태이다. 이에 저자들은 점수로 평가한 최근의 반정량적 분류 방법(Ludwig 분류법)을 전통적으로 이용되어온 De Groute의 분류법과 비교하여 연관성을 밝히고, 반정량적 분류법이 좀 더 객관적으로 예후를 예견하고 형태학적 변화를 감시하는 유용한 방법임을 소개하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 서울대학교병원 소아과에 입원하여, 간조직 생검을 받은 만성 B형 간염 환아 99명을 대상으로 병리조직 소견과 병록지 고찰을 시행하였다. B형 간염 표식자로는 HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc(IgG, IgM), HDV를 방사면역측정(radioimmunoassay)을 이용하여 검사하였다. 간생검조직은 전통적인 De Groute의 병리조직학적 분류법과 병리조직학적 변화를 문맥강 및 문맥강 주변의 염증(Portal/Periportal activity), 간소엽 내 염증(Lobular activity), 섬유화(Fibrosis)로 나누어 각각의 정도를 0에서 4로 점수화(Numerical scoring)한 Ludwig의 체계에 따라 분류하였다. 두가지 분류법 간의 연관성과, 병리조직 소견에 따른 빈도, 연령 및 성별 분포, 임상적 특징, 생화학적 및 혈청학적 검사 소견을 비교 조사하였다. 또한 간세포암 5례는 따로 분류하여 임상적 고찰을 시행하였다. 결 과: 1) 총 99례 중 남아 83례, 여아 16례였고, 연령별 분포는 1년 5개월에서 16년 4개월까지였으며, 평균연령은 9.4세였다. 병리조직형별 연령 및 성별분포에는 차이가 없었다. 2) 병리조직형별 분포는 정상 조직 소견 2례, 만성 소엽성 간염 2례, 만성 지속성 간염 22례, 경도 만성 활동성 간염 40례, 중등도 만성 활동성 간염 19례, 고도 만성 활동성 간염 1례, 간경변을 동반한 만성 활동성 간염 7례, 간경변증 1례, 간세포암 5례였다. 두가지 분류법은 높은 연관성을 보였으나 간경화의 경우는 연관성이 떨어져서, 간조직내 염증과 섬유화는 따로 분리하여 평가하거나, 섬유화의 중량이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 3) 간세포암을 제외한 94례 중 66례(70%)가 신체검사에서 우연히 발견된 경우였으며, 2례는 전신 부종이 주소로서 B형 간염과 관련된 막성 사구체 신염이 동반되어 있었다. 그 외는 비특이적인 간염증상을 주소로 내원하여 진단되었다. 내원시 임상 증상으로는 이피로성, 식욕부진, 오심, 구토, 복통, 복부팽만, 체중감소, 발열, 진한 소변색, 황달, 비출혈, 부종, 혈뇨 등이 있었고, 이학적 소견으로는 간장비대, 비장비대, 우측 상복부통이 있었다. 병리조직형별 임상증상, 이학적 소견 및 그 빈도에는 차이가 없었다. 4) 총 99례 중 가족력상 어머니에 B형 간염의 병력이 있는 경우가 54례, 아버지가 12례, 형제들의 경우가 25례 있었으며, 그 외의 동거 가족에서 가족력이 있는 경우는 17례 있었고, 가족력이 없는 경우는 28례였다. 가족 중 간경화가 있는 경우는 9례였고, 간세포암도 2례에서 있었다. 어머니가 만성 활동성 간염으로 사망한 례가 1례 있었고, 형제가 전격성 간염으로 사망한 경우도 1례 있었다. 병리조직형별 가족력의 차이는 없었다. 5) 간기능 검사소견을 보면, AST와 ALT의 평균은 각각 $151{\pm}158$ U/L, $215{\pm}221$ U/L이고, 병리조직형별로는 조직 염증소견이 심할수록 유의하게 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 병리조직형별로 중복되는 부분이 많아 AST, ALT치로 조직형을 예측하는 것은 어려웠다. Ludwig의 분류와 간기능 검사치와의 관계를 보면, 혈청 알부민은 섬유화가 진행할수록 유의하게 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, ALT, AST는 간조직내 염증 및 섬유화가 심할수록 유의하게 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 6) Prothrombin time은 조직형이 심할수록 유의하게 길어졌고, 특히 간경화가 진행될수록 나빠지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. APTT(activated partial thromboplastin time)도 조직형이 심할수록 길어지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 반정량적 방법에 의한 분류와의 관계를 보면, Prothrombin time과 APTT는 간조직내 염증 및 섬유화가 심할수록 길어지는 것을 관찰하였으나, 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 7) IgM anti-HBc는 검사가 이루어진 80명 중 1명에서만 양성이었고, HDV는 검사가 이루어진 83명 중 양성인 경우는 한 례도 없었다. HBeAg은 간생검 당시 81례에서 양성이였고, 이 후 평균 $41.8{\pm}31.3$개월간의 추적 중에 HBeAg 음전을 보인 경우는 50례가 있었고, 1년 음전율은 37%였다. 병리조직형별로는 조직형이 심할수록 음전시까지의 기간이 짧은 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 8) 간세포암 5례의 남녀 분포는 남아 4례, 여아 1례이고, 평균연령은 $10.4{\pm}3.1$세(7세~13세 6개월)였다. 모두에서 HBsAg양성, HBeAb양성과 어머니의 만성 B형 간염의 가족력이 있었다. 간세포암 주변 조직 소견은 1례를 제외하고는 모두에서 간경화의 소견을 보였다. 추적 중 혈청 AFP의 증가로 조기발견된 1례는 종양절제술 후 항암요법으로 추적 중에 있고, 그 외에는 모두 수술 후 항암요법 혹은 방사선요법을 병행하여 시행했으나 사망하였다. 결 론: 만성 B형 간염의 간손상 정도는 임상증상이나 생화학적 검사소견으로 평가할 수 없었고, 간조직검사에 의한 병리조직학적 분류가 필요하였다. 이는 De Groute의 분류와 잘 연관되는 반정량적 Ludwig 방법에 의해 좀 더 포괄적, 구체적, 객관적으로 분류할 수 있었고, 후자는 예후를 예견하고, 형태학적 변화를 감시하며, 통계적으로 분석하는 데 유용한 방법임을 시사하였다.
