목적: 위암 세포주 및 조직에서 다중 표지자 mRNA 발현을 정량적 RT-PCR 검사를 통해 확인함으로써 이들 표지자를 이용하여 위암의 복강내 미세전이 진단이 가능한가를 평가하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 12개의 인체 위암 세포주와 10개의 위암 조직을 대상으로 Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Cytokeratin 20 (CK20), Dopa decarboxylase (DDC), L-3-phosphoserine phosphatase (L3PP)의 네 가지 mRNA를 이용한 정량적 RT-PCR 다중 표지자 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 12개의 인체 위암 세포주 중 CEA는 4개(33%), CK-20는 1개(8%), DDC는 6개(50%), L3PP는 12개 세포주 모두(100%)에서 과발현되었다. 10개의 위암 조직 중 CEA는 9개, CK20은 3개, DDC는 9개, L3PP는 10개 조직 모두에서 과발현되었다. L3PP는 모든 위암 세포주와 조직에서 과발현을 나타내었으나 과발현 정도는 비교적 낮게 측정된 반면, CEA와 DDC는 일부 위암 세포주 및 조직에서만 과발현을 나타내었지만 파발현 시 충분한 발현도를 나타내었다. 결론: 위암 환자에서 하나 이상의 암 특이적 유전자를 이용한 다중 표지자 분석은 단일 표지자 분석이 가지는 단점을 보완할 수 있을 것으로 예상되며, CEA, DDC, 및 L3PP의 세 가지 mRNA가 후보 유전자로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Purpose: The benefits of the 'no-touch' isolation techniquethat is usually performed to prevent the circulation of tumor cells are not evident. The aim of this study was to determine whether the no-touch isolation technique for treating gastrointestinal cancers could prevent the circulation of tumor cells detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Matrials and Methods: By using RT-PCR to amplify mRNAs for two specific epithelial markers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 20 (CK-20), we examined 34 gastric cancer patients who had been histologically diagnosed and 22 patients had undergone serosal and peritoneal brushing. Results: In 10 ($29.4\%$) of the 34 gastric cancer patients, we detected CK20 mRNA before manipulation, and in 17 ($51.5\%$) of those patients, after we detected it. The density of the CK20 mRNA band was increased in 11 cases ($33.3\%$) and the density was decreased in 2 cases ($6.1\%$). In 16 ($48.5\%$) of the 34 gastric cancer patients, we detected CEA mRNA before manipulation, and in 17 ($51.5\%$) patients after we detected it. The density of the CEA mRNA band was increased in 8 cases ($24.2\%$) and decreased in 3 cases ($9.1\%$). Conclusion: These result suggest that the ' no-touch isolation technique ' might be useful when operating on advanced gastric cancer patients and that serosal or Douglas pouch brushing can be used to determine the status of micrometastasis.

Plexiform fibromyxoma (PF) of the stomach is a very rare mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. We report the first case of PF with 2 different growth patterns pathologically confirmed after surgical resection. The tumor was characterized microscopically as infiltrative; it demonstrated diffuse growth into the smooth muscle bundles of the muscularis propria and was also multinodular and plexiform within the myxoid stroma. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the tumor cells were positive or weakly positive for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and H-caldesmon and negative for desmin, CD117, CD34, CK-20, Pan-CK, Dog1, S100, ER, PR, and CD10. No mutations of C-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha were detected. No genetic disruption of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The final diagnosis of PF was mainly based on the morphological and immunohistochemical findings.

The development of skin metastasis is usually a morbid prognostic feature although they occur infrequently. Adenocarcinomas account for up to about 70% of all metastatic skin cancer. In general, adenocarcinomas are the most difficult metastatic tumor to accurately identify the primary site because they don't have distinctive histological features. For this reason, immunohistochemistry have been used to help identify the origin of metastatic adenocarcinomas. This study performed immunohistochemical staining with metastatic adenocarcinomas of the skin using a variety of antisera to find out characteristic immunohistochemical findings of them. This study was made upon the 29 cases of metastatic adenocarcinomas of the skin, which had been confirmed histopathologically in Chonbuk National University Hospital from January, 1986 to April, 2006, Paraffin blocks were colledted and homemade tissue arrays were made. We performed immunohistochemical staning using 12 antibodies (MUC1, 2, 5AC, 6, cytokeratin (CK) 7, 20, thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), beta-catenin, cox-2, claudin-1). The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 60.7 years and the male to female ratio was 1.2:1.0. The most common primary site was lung, followed by stomach and colorectum. MUC1 was expressed by most colorectal, breast and lung adenocarcinoma. MUC2 was expressed infrequently. MUCSAC was expressed by most gastric and colorectal cancer MUC6 was not specific of any primary site in this series. CK7+/CK20+immunophenotype was observed in gastric, lung, colorectal adenocarcinoma. CK7+/CK20- immunophenotype was observed in breast, lung, endometrial, uterine cervical, bile duct adenocarcinoma, while CK7-/CK20+ immunophenotype was observed only in colorectal adenocarcinoma. This results show the utility of TTF-1 to confirm the pulmonary origin. On the other hand ER and PR were not useful markers to assess the origin of primary tumor in this series.

본 연구에서는 양배추즙과 양배추 혼합즙의 항위염 효과를 검토하고자 in vitro에서 AGS 인체위암세포의 성장 억제율, 염증인자 발현, 항산화력, 제산력 결과를 바탕으로 SD-rat에 HCl-ethanol로 급성위염을 유도하여 이에 대한 위 손상 억제효과를 평가하였다. 인체위암세포(AGS) 성장 억제율을 조사한 결과 클로렐라(Ch)가 20%, 케일(K)이 21%, 양배추(C) 42% 순으로 성장 억제율이 상승하였고, 양배추에 클로렐라나 케일을 7:3 비율로 혼합하였을 때 양배추-클로렐라(CCh) 57%, 양배추-케일(CK) 65%로 성장 억제율이 상승하는 경향을 나타내었다. 염증인자 발현 또한 양배추(C) 단일로 처리했을 때보다 양배추-클로렐라 혼합(CCh), 양배추-케일 혼합(CK)에서 염증인자 발현이 유의적으로 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다(p<0.05). DPPH radical 소거능에서도 2 mg 농도에서 양배추(C) 61.7%, 양배추-클로렐라(CCh) 87.3%, 양배추-케일(CK) 88.1%로 높은 항산화력을 나타냈으며, 제산력 실험에서도 양배추 고농도(CH) 34.8%, 양배추-클로렐라 고농도(CChH) 40.1%, 양배추-케일 고농도(CKH) 44.9%로 양성대조약물인 cimetidine 41.8%와 비슷하거나 더 높은 제산력을 나타냈다. 이를 바탕으로 HCl-ethanol 위염모델에서 위 손상에 대한 영향을 평가한 결과, 양배추를 기본으로 한 모든 저농도(CL, CChL, CKL), 고농도(CH, CChH, CKH) 투여군에서 보호 효과가 나타났으며 양배추 단일 고농도(CH) 46%보다 클로렐라와 케일을 혼합한 양배추-클로렐라 고농도(CChH) 71%, 양배추-케일 고농도(CKH) 74%에서 그 보호 효과가 유의적으로 높아져 양성 대조약물과 비슷한 보호 효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 위액분비량과 위액 pH 또한 모든 투여군에서 보호 효과가 유의적으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 특히 양배추-케일 혼합즙(CKH)이 대조약물보다 더 높은 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 양배추즙에 클로렐라나 케일을 7:3 비율로 혼합하였을 때 위염예방효과가 시판 대조약물만큼 크게 상승하여 장기간 섭취 시 뛰어난 항위염 효과를 기대할 수 있겠다.
