MTX는 골육종이나 진행된 비호치킨씨 임파종과 같은 종양성 질환 뿐아니라 건선이나 류마치스 관절염, 유육종증, 웨그너씨 육아종증등의 양성질환에서도 널리 쓰여지는 약물이다. MTX에 의한 폐독성은 약제를 투여받은 환자들 중 0.3-7.5%정도에서 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 급성 또는 만성의 경과로 나타나는 MTX 폐렴의 예가 기술되어 있지만 전형적으로는 MTX를 투여한지 수개월내에 증상이 나타나는 아급성의 임상경과를 취하는 경우가 많다. 조직병리학적으로는 NSIP의 형태로 나타나는 경우가 가장 흔한 것으로 되어 있으나 BOOP나 DAD로 나타나는 경우도 드물게 보고되고 있으며 그 중 육아종의 형성을 보이는 예는 34.7% 정도로 알려져 있다. 우리나라에서는 NSIP나 DAD로 나타난 MTX 폐장염의 예가 보고되어있다. 저자들은 과민성 폐장염의 형태로 발현한 MTX에 의한 폐독성의 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Although primary application of radioisotope scanning technics to the liver has been of use in the detection of the intra-hepatic space occupying lesion from the normal functioning liver parenchyme, there has been on increasing awareness of its use in evalution of Liver function. In this study, the diseases of the liver were classified into group A,B,C and D by the liver scanning findings, conventional liver function tests and clinical findings. Following were the results: 1. The colloidal radiogold liver scan appeared normal in the group A, also the albumin in serum, alkaline phosphatase activity and prothrombin time were within normal levels in this group. 2. In the group B, there were acute hepatitis 24(48%), chronic hepatitis 5(10%), toxic hepatitis 3(6%), subacute hepatic necrosis 3(6%), typhoid liver 4(8%), hepatic tuberculosis 2(4%), diabetes mellitus 3(6%) and others 3(6%). In this group, SGOT and SGPT were increased predominantly as compared with group A, and the liver scan showed small amount of mottling of activity and faintly visualized spleen. 3. In the group C, there were postnecrotic liver cirrhosis 30(60%), Laennec cirrhosis 10(20%), cardiac cirrhosis 1(2%), cholangiocarcinoma 1(2%), chronic active hepatitis 6(12%), hepatic milliary tuberculosis 1(2%) and gall bladder cancer 1(2%). In this group, the albumin in serum and prothrombin time were lowered significantly and the liver scan showed severe mottling of activity with extra-hepatic uptake in the spleen and bone marrow along the vertebral column. 4. In the group D, there were primary hepatoma 26(52%), hepatoma with liver cirrhosis 7(14%), metastatic liver cancer 5(10%), liver abscess 10(20%), multiple liver cyst 1(2%) and cystic duct adenoma 1(2%), In this group, the alkaline phosphatase activity was elevated with single or multiple intrahepatic space occupying lesion in the radiogold colloid liver scan.

Background: Previous studies showed that genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) were involved in glutathione metabolism and genetic polymorphisms of ribonucleotide reductase (RRM1) were correlated with DNA synthesis. Here we explored the effects of these polymorphisms on the chemosensitivity and clinical outcome in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gemcitabine-cisplatin regimens. Materials and Methods: DNA sequencing was used to evaluate genetic polymorphisms of GSTP1 Ile105Val and RRM1 C37A-T524C in 47 NSCLC patients treated with gemcitabine-cisplatin regimens. Clinical response was evaluated according to RECIST criteria after 2 cycles of chemotherapy and toxicity was assessed by 1979 WHO criteria (acute and subacute toxicity graduation criteria in chemotherapeutic agents). Results: There was no statistical significance between sensitive and non-sensitive groups regarding the genotype frequency distribution of GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism (p>0.05). But for RRM1 C37A-T524C genotype, sensitive group had higher proportion of high effective genotype than non-sensitive group (p=0.009). And according to the joint detection of GSTP1 Ile105Val and RRM1 C37A-T524C polymorphisms, the proportion of type A (A/A + high effective genotype) was significantly higher in sensitive group than in non-sensitive group (p=0.009). Toxicity showed no correlation with the genotypes between two groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with single detection of genetic polymorphisms of GSTP1 Ile105Val or RRM1 C37A-T524C, joint detection of both may be more helpful for patients with NSCLC to receive gemcitabine-cisplatin regimens as the first-line chemotherapy. Especially, genetic polymorphism of RRM1 is more likely to be used as an important biomarker to predict the response and toxicity of gemcitabine-cisplatin combination chemotherapy in NSCLC.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the fidelity of stroke stage reporting, the timeliness of the outcome measures, and the use of the core outcome set. Methods: We searched the literature using 6 domestic databases. We selected studies that used Korean medicine interventions and targeted stroke patients with motor sequelae. We examined whether the included studies reported the stroke stage and whether they used the outcome measures in the appropriate period based on the recommendations of the "Stroke Evidence Database to Guide Effectiveness". We also confirmed the use of the essential assessment tools suggested by the core outcome set. Results: Overall, 77 studies were finally selected, with 16 (21%), 55 (71%), and 6 (8%) published on the acute, subacute, and chronic phases, respectively. Only 11 of the studies directly mentioned the stroke stage. The most commonly used assessments were the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Modified Barthel Index, and Manual Muscle Testing. Only 5 studies failed to apply the stage-related outcome measures at the recommended period. The outcome variables used inadequately were the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Functional Ambulation Categories, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, and Mini-Mental State Examination. Among the core outcome set items, some studies used liver and renal function tests, but no herbal medicine safety reporting was conducted. Conclusions: In future studies, we propose to ensure accurate reporting of the stroke stage with reliable outcome measures to deliver better clinical and research outcomes. Furthermore, in future clinical studies on stroke, a standard protocol that reflects the core outcome set should be developed.

Objective : Bone cement augmentation procedures such as percutaneous vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty have been shown to be effective treatment for acute or subacute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of bone cement augmentation procedures for long standing osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture with late vertebral collapse and persistent back pain. Methods : Among 278 single level osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures that were treated by vertebral augmentation procedures at our institute, 18 consecutive patients were included in this study. Study inclusion was limited to initially, minimal compression fractures, but showing a poor prognosis due to late vertebral collapse, intravertebral vacuum clefts and continuous back pain despite conservative treatment for more than one year. The subjects included three men and 15 women. The mean age was 70.7 with a range from 64 to 85 years of age. After postural reduction for two days, bone cement augmentation procedures following intraoperative pressure reduction were performed. Imaging and clinical findings, including the level of the vertebra involved, vertebral height restoration, injected cement volume, local kyphosis, clinical outcome and complications were analyzed. Results : The mean follow-up period after bone cement augmentation procedures was 14.3 months (range 12-27 months). The mean injected cement volume was 4.1 mL (range 2.4-5.9 mL). The unipedicular approach was possible in 15 patients. The mean pain score (visual analogue scale) prior to surgery was 7.1, which decreased to 3.1 at 7 days after the procedure. The pain relief was maintained at the final follow up. The kyphotic angle improved significantly from $21.2{\pm}4.9^{\circ}$ before surgery to $10.4{\pm}3.8^{\circ}$ after surgery. The fraction of vertebral height increased from 30% to 60% after bone cement augmentation, and the restored vertebral height was maintained at the final follow up. There were no serious complications related to cement leakage. Conclusion : In the management of even long-standing osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture for over one year, bone cement augmentation procedures following postural reduction were considered safe and effective treatment in cases of non-healing evidence.
