Background: The current standard treatment for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone (CHOP). A significant number of patients were not treated with recommended dose of rituximab due to limited financial resources in Malaysia. This study evaluates the efficacy of R-CHOP like chemotherapy in Malaysian patients with DLBCL. Materials and Methods: The study comprised a retrospective analysis of patients with DLBCL treated at a single centre. The outcome was compared with patients who were treated with R-CHOP like and CHOP like chemotherapy. Patients who were treated with lower dose of rituximab was subanalysed for outcome. Results: A total of 86 patients who had CHOP-like chemotherapy were included. Only 39 (45%) patients had rituximab and only 12 (29%) patients had the recommended dose. The overall response (OR) and complete response (CR) rates were 88% and 81% respectively. There was no significant difference in OR and CR in patients who had rituximab and those without rituxmab. Those with International Prognostic Index (IPI) score of ${\leq}2$ had significant higher CR rate, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (p<0.001). Conclusions: The lack of significant improvement in CR and DFS in our patients may be due to an inadequate dose of rituximab.

질트리코모나스(Trichomonasvqqin is)의 항원성 변이를 관찰하기 위해 원충의 표면 항원 (surface antigen)을 N-hydmwsuccinlmide-biotin(N반5-biotin)으로 표지 하고 표지된 표면 단백질과 토끼의 항혈청으로 면역침전(Immunoprecipitation; IP)시켰으며 sodium dodec낀 sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)와 전기영동이적법을 시 행하였다. 살아있는 원충을 NHS-biotin으로 표지하여 표면 단백질을 분리하고 이를 질트리코모나스에 면역된 토끼 항혈청과 면역침전 시켰던 바 46, 60, 68, 90, 130 그리고 220 kDa에서 6개의 단백질이 항원성을 나타내었으며 질토리코모나스의 분리주인 HY-1, HV-15 및 ATCC 50148 주간에 차이는 없어 이들 6개 분획이 표면 항원성 발현에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Although each Waldeyer's ring sub-site is considered an independent prognostic factor, few studies have assessed the prognosis and treatment of tonsillar lymphoma. Treatment outcomes were analyzed in patients with primary tonsillar lymphoma who were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT). Materials and Methods: Nineteen patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were evaluated, with a median follow-up of 53 months. Age, sex, and histology, amongst other factors, were reviewed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were analyzed. Results: Most patients had Ann Arbor stage I-II (94.7%), IPI score of 0 (89.5%), and complete remission after chemotherapy (89.5%). The 5-year PFS and OS rates were 74.6% and 80%, respectively. In univariate analysis, the rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) regimen resulted in a better PFS than the cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regimen (88.9% vs. 50.0%; p = 0.053). RT dose was related to the survival outcome (p = 0.010 for PFS, p = 0.044 for OS). Patients were classified into the CHOP + RT (>40 Gy) group and R-CHOP + RT (${\leq}40Gy$) group. The 5-year PFS rates were 50% in the CHOP + RT group, and 100 % in the R-CHOP + RT group (p = 0.018). The 5-year OS rates were 66.7% and 100%, respectively (p = 0.087). Conclusion: Primary tonsillar lymphoma patients typically have favorable outcomes. Chemotherapy (R-CHOP) combined with relatively lower dose consolidative RT may be safe and effective for primary tonsillar lymphoma.

선행 연구에서는 m-Aramid와 p-Aramid의 Ring 방적사/Core 방적사 조건에 따른 방적사 물성에 대해서 연구하였는데, Ring 방적사의 혼용율, 스핀들 속도에 따른 물성 변화, Core 방적사의 공정특성에 따른 방적성, 피복성에 대해 연구를 하였다. 그 결과 Ring 방적사의 경우 m-Aramid의 혼용율이 증가할수록 사 강도는 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었고, 스핀들 속도가 증가함에 따라서 불균제도 및 사결점이 다소 증가하였다. Core 방적사의 경우 Core에 p-Aramid를 사용했을 때 방적성과 피복성은 양호 하였지만, 강한 p-Aramid에 의해 톱 롤러코트의 마모가 되는 경향을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 Ring 방적사/Core 방적사에 대해 좀더 구체적인 제조공정조건에 의한 물성 변화를 알아보았고, 좀더 다양한 섬유소재를 적용해서 제조하였다. Ring 방적사의 경우 p-Aramid 혼용율에 따른 실험을 하였는데, m-Aramid에 대한 p-Aramid의 혼용율을 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% 로 하여 Ne30을 제조하였으며, Core 방적사는 Core를 p-Aramid 200D로 하고 Sheath를 Cotton으로 하여 Core 공급속도비 (1.06, 1.10, 1.14), 연계수(T/M, 3.8, 4.0, 4.2), Sheath/Core 혼섬율(70/30, 60/40, 50/50)에 따라 제조하였다. 추가로 Core 방적사는 Sheath에 Cotton 대신 FR-Rayon과 선염 Cotton을 사용하여 각각 Sheath/Core 혼섬율 70/30의 비율로 방적사를 제조하여 다양한 소재에 따른 방적사의 물성을 측정하였다. 제조된 시험 원사들의 측정 물성은 번수(Ne), 균제도(U%), 사결점(IPI), 강력(cN), 신도(%), 비강도(cN/Tex) 등이며, 편직을 통해 편성물의 외관을 확인하였다. Ring 방적사의 경우 p-Aramid의 혼용율이 증가할수록 강도는 완만하게 증가한 반면, 신도는 급격하게 감소하였다. Cotton Core 방적사의 경우는 공급속도비가 높아질수록 균제도가 높아지는 것을 볼수 있었고, Core 공급속도비가 높아질수록 외관상 피복도는 높아진 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이렇게 연구된 Aramid 소재를 이용한 방적사 제조 공정조건변화에 따른 물성 및 피복도 결과는 기존 방적업체에서 Aramid를 이용한 방적사 제조시에 공정조건을 확보하는데 도움이 될 것이라 생각되며, 방적사 시제품 생산시에 발생할 수 있는 시행착오를 줄임으로써 시제품 제조를 위한 생산비용의 Loss를 절감할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (pENL) patients, focusing on treatment and survival outcome. Materials and Methods: Between October 2003 and March 2012, 802 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were diagnosed and treated in two different cancer centers of Southern Turkey. Results: pENL, constituted 12.4% (100/802) of all NHL studied during this period. Median age of the patients was 56 years (range 17-87 years) and the male: female distribution was 3:2. Eighty-five of 100 patients (85%) were in stage I/II, 9/100 (9%) in stage III, whereas 6/100 (6%) were in stage IV. Head and neck constituted the most common site (51/100, 51%), followed by gastrointestinal tract (GIL) (37/100, 37%), and cerebrum (CL) (5/100, 5%). Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common histological type, observed in 53% of patients, followed by marginal zone extranodal lymphoma (13%). Most of patients (76%) received a CHOP containing regimen. Complete remission (CR) were achieved in 71% of patients. The median follow-up duration of all patients was reported as 37.6 months (range, 0.8-165 months). This period was reported as 137.5 months (range, 117.5-1578.6 months) in gastrointestinal lymphoma (GIL) patients, 119.0 months (range, 91.8-146.1 months) in head and neck lymphoma (HNL) patients, and 18.4 months (range, 12.6-24.1 months) in cerebral lymphoma (CL) patients. Conclusions: Head and neck, and the gastrointestinal tract were the two most common extranodal sites observed. Histologically DLBC accounted for the majority of cases. Most patients were on earlier stages, had low-low intermediate IPI scores and had a favorable prognosis.

Introduction: In the mass spectrometry-based proteomics, biological samples are analyzed to identify proteins by mass spectrometer and database search. Database search is the process to select the best matches to the experimental mass spectra among the amino acid sequence database and we identify the protein as the matched sequence. The match score is defined to find the matches from the database and declare the highest scored hit as the most probable protein. According to the score definition, search result varies. In this study, the difference among search results of different search engines or different databases was investigated, in order to suggest a better way to identify more proteins with higher reliability. Materials and Methods: The protein extract of human mesenchymal stem cell was separated by several bands by one-dimensional electrophorysis. One-dimensional gel was excised one by one, digested by trypsin and analyzed by a mass spectrometer, FT LTQ. The tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra of peptide ions were applied to the database search of X!Tandem, Mascot and Sequest search engines with IPI human database and SwissProt database. The search result was filtered by several threshold probability values of the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) of the Institute for Systems Biology. The analysis of the output which was generated from TPP was performed. Results and Discussion: For each MS/MS spectrum, the peptide sequences which were identified from different conditions such as search engines, threshold probability, and sequence database were compared. The main difference of peptide identification at high threshold probability was caused by not the difference of sequence database but the difference of the score. As the threshold probability decreases, the missed peptides appeared. Conversely, in the extremely high threshold level, we missed many true assignments. Conclusion and Prospects: The different identification result of the search engines was mainly caused by the different scoring algorithms. Usually in proteomics high-scored peptides are selected and low-scored peptides are discarded. Many of them are true negatives. By integrating the search results from different parameter and different search engines, the protein identification process can be improved.

The purpose of this study was to present data to the landscape planning and design through analyzing correlation between visual preference of users and nonusers and the landscape of hole in golf couses. Stimulus objects were selected from the 18 holes in Tae-gu Country Club. Preference value was judged through photo simulation by 35 subjects photographed at Tee and Interpoint (IPI, IP2), and classified into three landscape types and nine landscape components from photo analysis by researcher. For test of difference between groups toward each stimulus, t-test was used, and Duncantest, Correlation analysis for finding out correlation between preference degree and the landscape of each hole. The results of this study were as follows: As a result of analysis of preference value between groups for each hole, it has been shown that there was scarcely difference with each other. Form the relation between preference degree and spacial structure of hole, the holes making up a superior preference group have been shown that the greater part of the holes had a downward slope or a gentle slope mostly and then a visible ratio of fairway was high, and had diversified scenery by a lotus pond, a solitary planting tree, the roll of a fairway, facilities for convenience, etc. The holes making up a low-ranking preference group have been shown that the greater part of the holes had upward slope or a similar slope to it and had characteries of the bad condition of lawn, the nearby factories and odors, the monotonous scenery of a fairway, an unreasonable mixing of holes, etc. From the relation between preference degree and landscape components forming hole, it has been shown that the preference degree between users and nonusers had positive correlation to the occupied ratio of space of landscape components at Tee and Approach. At Tee, it has been shown that the preference degree of two groups were related with a lawn surface of fairway negatively, a lotus pond, a sky positively, and the preference degree of nonusers was related with iron-top for electric transmission positively. At Approach, it has been shown that the preference degree of two groups were related with iron-top for electric transmission negatively, and the preference degree of nonusers was related with a building positively. From the relation between preference degree group to each hole and the occupied ratio of space of landscape types, it has been shown that the constituent ratio of a high-ranking group was 1:2.4:2.2 and a low-ranking group was 1:4.1:5.1 among vertical type, horizontal type and background at Tee, but the constituent ratio of space of a high-ranking group was similar to a low-ranking group at Approach.
