  • Human papillomavirus(HPV) is epitheliotrophic virus invading the anogenital tract and the upper aerodigestive tract HRV produces a diversity of benign and maljgnant tumors. In this study, the author determined the frequency of association of human papillomavirus(HPV) and laryngeal carcinomas and investigated the significance of HRV infection of different subtypes in the tumorigenesis of laryngeal carcinoma. Laryngeal squamous cell cancinomas from 34 patients who did not have preexisting papillomas by clinical history were retrieved from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks and analyzed for HPV. Nineteen cases were tumors of the true vocal folds, 11 were supraglottic and 4 were transglottic. HPV detection was dane using polymerase chain reaction amplification with HPV L$_1$consensus primer. HPV type was determined by the same method using HPV-6, 11 and 16,-18 type-specific E6 primers. The results were as follows : 1) HPV DNA was detected in 7 cases among the 34 patients(20.6%). According to the type of HPV DNA HPV-11 was detected in 3 cases, HPV-16 was detected in 2 cases and HPV-6 and HPV-18 were detected in 1 case, respectively. 2) These 7 HPV-positive patients were advanced cancinoma cases. From these results, we concluded that HPV was thought to be the etiological factor of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.

  • Synchronous primary lung cancers in the same lobe are rare. Cavitating adenocarcinoma as single lung lesion is unusual. We experienced cavitating adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in the same lobe of the lung. The patient was a 74-year-old male with chief complaints of hemoptysis. CT scan showd a central mass in right upper lobar bronchus, obstructive pneumonia, and lung abscess in the right upper lobe. Pathologically, the central mass was a 2.3$\times$1$\times$1 cm sized squamous cell carcinoma, and lung abscess was revealed as a 37272 cm sized adenocarcinoma. The patient was discharged without any specific problem after right peumonectomy.

  • It has been reported that p53 regulates the G2-M checkpoint transition through cyclin Bl, and it has been suggested that p53 plays an important role in the development and progression of various malignancies. The aim of this study is to clarify the role of the cell cycle regulators, cyclin B1 and p53 in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Material and Method: Tissue samples from 46 patients with ESCC were included in this study. Expression levels of cyclin Bl and p53 in samples of normal squamous epithelium, dysplasia, and tumor cells from patients with ESCC were analyzed by immunohistochemical study Result: Several cells in the basement layer of normal epithelium expressed cyclin B1. The number of cyclin B1 positive cells tended to increase as the degree of dysplasia increased from low grade to high grade. More than 10% of tumor cells were cyclin B1 positive in 19 patients (41.3%). Several clinicopathologic parameters, including tumor stage (p<0.05), pathologic Iymph node status (p<0.05) and invasion of Iymphatic vessels (p<0.05), were correlated with the overexpression of cyclin B1. Elevated expression levels of cyclin B1 also correlated with a poor prognosis in patient with ESCC in univariate analysis (p<0.05) and multivariate analysis (p<0.05), In contrast, p53 expression exhibited significant correlation with the level of cyclin B1 expression, but was not associated with prognostic parameters in patients with ESCC. Conclusion: These findings suggest that cyclin B1 is involved in the pathogenesis of carcinoma of the esophagus and that elevated levels of cyclin B1 expression, but not p53 expression, may indicate a poor prognosis for patients with ESCC.
