레이저를 이용한 내시경하 상후두부분절제술은 술전에 정확한 병기판정으로 초기 국소병변의 선택을 신중하게 하고 경부 림프절전이의 치료를 효율적으로 시행하는 경우 기존의 수술법과 유사한 생존율을 얻을 수 있었다. 환자의 상태에 따라서 충분한 수술시야를 확보하는데 어려움이 있으며, 병변의 위치에 따라서 술중 절제연의 확인이 힘들다는 제한점을 고려해야 하며, 술 후 발생할 수 있는 출혈, 부종, 오연 등의 합병증에 대비하기 위하여 술 전 기관절개술이 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Introduction: Mobile phones are in extensive use worldwide and concerns regarding their role in tumor formation were raised. Over the years multiple studies were published in order to investigate this issue using several approaches. The current study looks at secular trends of brain gliomas (low and high grade) incidence and changes in tumor's laterality over 30 years in a population extensively using this technology with a possible correlation to the spread of use of mobile phones. Materials and Methods: All brain gliomas that were diagnosed from 1980-2009 were included and subdivided into two groups - low and high grade. Secular and periodic time trend analyses of incidence rates and changes in laterality were performed. Preferred side of head using mobile phones was assessed with a questionnaire in a sample of adult individuals. Results: A decrease in incidence of low grade giomas (LGG) that correlated with introduction of mobile technology was found from 2.57, 2.34 and 2.79 for every 100,000 in the period 1980 to the end of 1994 to 1.72, 1.82 and 1.57, respectively, over the last three 5-years periods (1995-2009). High-grade glioma incidences increased significantly from 1980-2009 but in the period after mobile phones were introduced (1994-2009) a lower, non significant, rate of increase was observed in males and a lower one (significant) in females. A shift towards left sided tumor location for all adult gliomas combined and separately for LGG and HGG was noted from 1995 onward. The shift was more marked for those who were diagnosed in ages 20-49 (p=0.03). Conclusions: We found a statistically significant decrease in LGG's over 30-years period that correlates with introducing of mobile phones technology and a shift in laterality towards left-sided tumors, the latter occurred in both low and high-grade gliomas.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) smears who had undergone the "see and treat" approach compared to those who underwent a conventional approach. The records of women with HSIL smears undergoing colposcopy at Srinagarind Hospital were reviewed. In those undergoing the conventional approach, the final histological diagnosis was made on the most severe histological results obtained after initial colposcopy. In the "see and treat" group, the final histological diagnosis was made on the examination of LEEP specimens obtained after initial colposcopy. Overtreatment in the see and treat group was defined as the LEEP specimens containing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 or less. During the study period, 302 women with HSIL underwent colposcopy. Twenty (6.6%) were nulliparous. One hundred and ninety-four (64.2%) underwent conventional management while the remaining 108 (35.8%) received the see and treat management. The prevalence of underlying high-grade lesions in women undergoing the conventional approach was significantly higher than that observed among women undergoing the see and treat approach (89.2% and 47.2%, respectively, P<0.001). The overtreatment rate in the see and treat group was 52.8%. Multivariate analysis revealed that only parity status was a statistically significant factor for predicting the overtreatment after undergoing the see and treat approach. In conclusion, the overtreatment rate among women undergoing see and treat in this study is notably high and therefore this approach should not be routinely practiced.

This experiment was conducted to investigate antitumor and immunomodulatory effects of Artemisia capillaris extracts against Hepa-lc1c7 and Sarcoma 180 cancer cells. In in vivo experimental tests using 210 ICR mice, on the $28^{th}$ day and the $42^{nd}$ day, all animals in vehicle controled HP (Hepa-lclc7 tumor cell inoculated vehicle control) and SP (Sarcoma 180 tumor cell inoculated vehicle control) showed tumor cells in the liver and spleen based on the histopathology. However, the incidences and the percentages of regions occupied by tumor cells were dramatically and dose-dependently decreased by mACH (Artemisia capillaris methanol extracts) treatment on the histomorphometry. Although the exact mechanism of inhibition of the incidences of tumor cells in the parenchyma whether inhibition of metastasis or proliferation is unclear, mACH dramatically reduce the percentages of regions occupied by tumor cells in the liver and spleen apart from the inoculation sites of Hepa-lclc7 and Sarcoma 180. In addition, they also effectively inhibit the abnormal changes on the kidney detected in the present study. The results suggest that Artemisia capillaris methanol extracts have prominent antitumor effects on the cancer cell lines Hepa-lclc7 and Sarcoma 180 m mice.

Background: The Saudi population has experienced a sharp increase in colorectal and gastric cancer incidences within the last few years. The relationship between gene polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence has not previously investigated among the Saudi population. The aim of the present study was to investigate contributions of CYP1A1, CYP2E1, and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from CRC patients and healthy controls and genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing. Results and Conclusions: $CYP2E1^*6$ was not significantly associated with CRC development (odd ratio=1.29; confidence interval 0.68-2.45). A remarkable and statistically significant association was observed among patients with $CYP1Awt/^*2A$ (odd ratio=3.65; 95% confidence interval 1.39-9.57). The $GSTM1^*0/^*0$ genotype was found in 2% of CRC patients under investigation. The levels of CYP1A1, CYP2E1 and GSTM1 mRNA gene expression were found to be 4, 4.2 and 4.8 fold, respectively, by quantitative real time PCR. The results of the present case-control study show that the studied Saudi population resembles Caucasians with respect to the considered polymorphisms. Investigation of genetic risk factors and susceptibility gene polymorphisms in our Saudi population should be helpful for better understanding of CRC etiology.

This study examined the incidence rates of cancer cases (averages for 2006-2010) and relationships with environmental radioactivity levels. Soil and water samples were collected from provincial and district centers of Van city and the outdoor gamma doses were determined using a portable gamma scintillation detector. Gross alpha and beta, (226)Ra, (232)Th, and (40)K activities were measured in both tap water and soil samples. Although high rates of stomach and esophagus cancers have been reported previously in Van the underlying reasons have not hitherto been defined. Incidences of cancers were highest in the Gurpmar (326.0) and Ozalp (377.1) counties (p<0.001). As to the results of the gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity measurements in the drinking water, these two counties also had high beta radionuclide levels: Gurpmar ($140mBq/dm^3$) and Ozalp ($206mBq/dm^3$). Even if within the normal range, a relation between the higher rate of the incidence of stomach and esophagus cancers with that of the higher rate of beta radionuclide activity was clear. On Spearman correlation analysis, the relation between higher beta radionuclide levels and cancer incidence was found to be statistically significant (p<0.01). According to the results of the analysis, Van residents receive an average 1.86 mSv/y annual dose from outdoor gamma radiation, ingestion of radionuclides in the drinking water, and indoor $^{222}Rn$ activity. Moreover, gross alpha and beta activities were found to be extremely high in all of the lakes around the city of Van, Turkey. Further investigations with long-term detailed environmental radiation measurements are needed regarding the relationship between cancer cases and environmental radioactivity in the city of Van.

목적: 진행성 위암환자에게 여러 종류의 항암요법이 시행되고 있으나 심각한 부작용 발현 없이 예후증진을 이룰 수 있는 약제는 아직 개발되지 않고 있다. 이처럼 표준요법의 개발이 시급한 시점에서 TS-1이 한국인 위암환자에서 어떤 항암효과 및 안정성을 보이는지 알고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 진행성 위암으로 진단된 78명을 대상으로 TS-1 단독 또는 TS-1/CDDP 병용요법을 시행하였다. TS-1은 $80\;mg/m^{2}/day$을 단독요법의 경우 4주 복용 및 2주 휴약을, 병용요법인 경우엔 3주 복용 및 2주 휴약을 1 cycle로 하였다. CDDP은 $60\;mg/m^{2}$ 용량으로 제8일째에 정맥 주사하였다. 결과: 수술 전 요법군과 재발 및 비근치적 수술군에서의 종양 반응률은 각각 87.5%, 및 32.4%였고, 단독요법군 28.6%, 병용요법군 48.4%였다. 재발 및 비근치적 수술군의 경우 종양의 반응률에 따른 생존율 차이는 의미 있는 차이(P=0.0016)를 보였고, 1년 생존율은 단독요법 56.1%, 병용요법 58.5%였으며 두 군간의 차이는 의미가 없었다. 전체 환자에서 치료관련 부작용 발현빈도(grade 3 이상)는 단독 및 병용요법의 경우 14.3% 및 36.8%였다. 결론: 한국인 진행성 위암환자를 대상으로 시행한 TS-1 단독 또는 CDDP와의 병용요법은 높지 않은 부작용 발현빈도와 높은 종양 반응률을 보였으며, 향후 용량 조절과 스케줄 조절을 통해 표준항암요법의 하나가 될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the preventive effect of Actinidia valvata Dunn (AVD) extract on an animal model of gastrointestinal carcinogenesis on the basis of changes in tumor incidence, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Materials and Methods: Seventy-five male Wistar rats were divided into five different treatment groups with 15 rats in each group. Group I was given normal feed, whereas Groups II to IV were treated with 10% sodium chloride in the first six weeks and 100ug/mL of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in drinking water for 24 weeks. Group II was then given normal feed, whereas Group III was given AVD extract (0.24g/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Group IV was given AVD extract from the first week to the 36th week, whereas Group V was treated with AVD extract alone for 36 weeks. All rats were sacrificed at the end of the 36-week experiment and assessed for the presence of gastrointestinal tumors. The occurrence of cancer was evaluated by histology. Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, and cyclinD1 were determined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. Results: The incidences of gastric cancer were 0% in Group I, 73.3% in Group II, 33.3% in Group III, 26.7% in Group IV, and 0% in Group V. Bcl-2 and cyclinD1 expression was decreased in AVD extract treated groups, whereas Bax and Caspase-3 expression was increased. Comparison with group II revealed significant differences (p<0.01). Conclusions: AVD extract exhibits an obvious preventive effect on gastrointestinal carcinogenesis induced by MNNG in rats through the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis.

연구배경: 악성종양에 대한 진단 및 치료방법의 발전으로 악성종양 환자의 생존기간이 연장되고, 생존율 또한 과거보다 높아졌다. 또한 수술적 절제술로 악성종양을 제거한 환자 중 약 10% 정도는 약 10년이내 속발성 원발성 종양이 생긴다고 알려지고 있다. 그래서 다발성 원발성 악성종양의 원인과 위험 인자 및 조기 진단은 매우 중요한 일이다. 저자들은 다발성 원발성 악성종양에 병발한 폐암과 원발성 폐암의 임상적 특징과 p53 종양 억제 유전자 변이에 의한 변이형 p53 발현율을 조사하여 두 질환사이의 차이를 비교해 보았다. 방법: Moertel의 다발성 원발성 악성 종양의 분류에 적합한 환자 중 폐암이 동반된 20례(비소세포암 16례, 소세포암 4례)와 비교군으로 원발성 비소세포암 26례를 대상으로 변이형 p53 발현율을 면역조직화학 염색법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 곁과: 폐암과 동반된 악성종양은 위암이 8례로 가장 많았고, 식도암, 폐암, 대장암이 각각 2례 이었으며, 후두암, 방광암, 간암, 유방암, 부신암, 소장암이 각각 1례 이었다. 다발성 원발성 악성종양과 병발한 비소세포암과 원발성 비소세포암의 남녀비는 각각 7:1, 2.7:1 이었고, 흡연력은 각각 16례 중 15례, 26례 중 19례가 있었다. 다발성 원발성 악성종양에 병발한 비소세포암은 원발성 비소세포암에 비해 임상적 병기가 비교적 균등하였으며(p<0.05), 조직학적 분화도는 나쁜 경우가 많은 경향이었다(p>0.05). 다발성 원발성 악성종양에 병발한 비소세포암과 원발성 비소세포암의 변이형 p53 각각 62.5%, 76.7%로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 결론: 다발성 원발성 악성종양에 병발한 비소세포암의 변이형 p53 단백 발현율은 차이가 없었다. 변이형 p53 단백 염색법은 다발성 원발성 악성종양에 병발한 비소세포암과 원발성 비소세포암을 구별하는데 유용성을 인정할 수 없었다.
