Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has emerged as a useful technique for the study of pulmonary interstitial disorders. Several types of Information are provided by the evaluation of lavage fluid identification of cellular constituents helps to separate inflammatory process. Recently we have studied cellular constituents of BAL from three cases with histologically confirmed pulmonary sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and hypereosinophilic syndrome. Pulmonary sarcoidosis showed a marked increase in lymphocytes, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis revealed a predominance of neutrophils, and hypereosinophilic syndrome presented a marked increase in eosinophils in the lavage fluids.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the efflux transport system of choline from brain to blood across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in rats using the brain efflux index (BEI) method. $[^3H]$Choline was micro-injected into parietal cortex area 2 (Par2) of the rat brain, and was eliminated from the brain with elimination halflife of 45 min. The BBB efflux clearance of $[^3H]$choline was about 124 mL/min/g brain, which was determined from combination of an elimination rate constant $(1.54X10^{-2}min^{-1})$ and the distribution volume in the brain (8.05 mL/g brain). The efflux of $[^3H]$choline was inhibited by unlabeled choline in a dose-dependent manner and was significantly inhibited by cationic substrates, such as hemicholinium-3 and tetraethylammonium (TEA). These results suggest that the BBB may act as an efflux pump for choline to reduce the excessive choline concentration in the brain interstitial fluid.

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is characterized by the persistent accumulation of interstitial fluid in the peripheral tissues after treatment for breast cancer. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is widely used as supportive care for patients with BCRL. A search was performed in the PubMed database to find relevant articles published over the last 20 years. Randomized controlled trials that evaluated the efficacy of PBM therapy on BCRL were included. A total of 24 studies were identified through the PubMed database. Seven studies were used for the final analysis, after excluding items that did not meet the duplication and inclusion criteria. Although PBM showed some improvement in reducing arm circumference and the symptoms related to BCRL, the results of the meta-analysis did not show any significant benefit in alleviating lymphedema. Further studies are needed with the recruitment of more participants to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of PBM in the management of BCRL.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of inclusion bodies in the tissues as well as to observe the general histopathological lesions of dogs infected with canine distemper. And also, the reliability of diagnostic values of inclusion bodies and the distribution of viral antigen in tissues were inspected by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibody. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Pneumonia observed in dogs infected with canine distemper virus was classified into interstitial, broncho-, and broncho-interstitial pneumonia histopathologically. Each occurring ratio was 35, 45 and 20%. 2. Histopathological classification of the canine distemper encephalitis was 20% in acute, 60% in subacute, and 20% in chronic encephalitis, respectively. 3. The organs in which inclusion bodies were predominantly distributed were stomach(82.6%), cerebellum(62.9%), lung(62.1%), cerebrum(50.0%), urinary bladder (46.1%), kidney(36.0%) and pancreas(25.0%). Intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were mainly observed in the organs except the brain. 4. Canine distemper virus antigens were detected in the numerous tissues as well as in the inclusion bodies observed in the various organs. Antigen detection ratios in the lung, cerebellum and cerebrum were 68.9, 70.4 and 52.2%, respectively. These ratios were somewhat higher than those of inclusion bodies observed in the organs. 5. Canine distemper virus was mainly distributed in astrocytes and ependymal cells in the brain. These results suggested that the histopathologic diagnosis of canine distemper was reliable, and the spread of canine distemper virus in the brain was related with cerebrospinal fluid pathway.

To define the postnatal changes in ANP secretion in response to mechanical stretch and atrial compliance, experiments have been done in perfused nonbeating rabbit atria with different ages: 1-day, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 8-wk-old. In 1-day-old-rabbits, an increase in intraatrial pressure resulted in an increase in atrial volume, which was higher than that in 1-wk-old rabbits. Increases in atrial volume stimulated the secretion of ANP with concomitant translocation of extracellular fluid (ECF) into the atrial lumen. However, mechanically stimulated ECF translocation was lower in 1-day-old rabbits than that in 1-wk-old rabbits. Therefore, positive relationship between mechanically stimulated ECF translocation and ANP secretion was shifted upward in 1-day-old rabbits, as compared to 1-wk-old rabbits. Changes in atrial volume and ECF translocation were gradually increased with aging and reached the peak value at 4 wk. The stretch-induced ANP secretion in terms of ECF translocation (the interstitial ANP concentration) was also increased with aging and reached the peak value at 4 wk. The interstitial ANP concentration was dependent on the atrial content of ANP. These data suggest that the higher level of atrial ANP secretion is related to the postnatal changes in atrial volume and unidentified factor.

In this study, bioelectrical impedance analysis, which has been used to assess an alteration in intracellular fluid (ICF) of the body, was applied to detect intravenous infiltration. The experimental results are described as follows. Firstly, when infiltration occurred, the resistance gradually decreased with time and frequency i.e., the resistance decreased with increasing time, proportional to the amount of infiltrated intravenous (IV) solution. At each frequency, the resistance gradually decreased with time, indicating the IV solution (also blood) accumulated in the extracellular fluid (ECF) (including interstitial fluid). Secondly, the resistance ratio started to increase at infiltration, showing the highest value after 1.4 min of infiltration, and gradually decreased thereafter. Thirdly, the impedance ($Z_C$) of cell membrane decreased significantly (especially at 50 kHz) during infiltration and gradually decreased thereafter. Fourthly, Cole-Cole plot indicated that the positions of (R, $X_C$) shifted toward left owing to infiltration, reflecting the IV solution accumulated in the ECF. The resistance ($R_0$) at zero frequency decreased continuously over time, indicating that it is a vital impedance parameter capable of detecting early infiltration during IV infusion. Finally, the mechanism of the current flowing through the ECF, cell membrane, and ICF in the subcutaneous tissues was analyzed as a function of time before and after infiltration, using an equivalent circuit model of the human cell. In conclusion, it was confirmed that the infiltration could be detected early using these impedance parameters during the infusion of IV solution.

배경: 미만성 간질성 폐질환(DILD)들은 처음에 폐포염(alveolitis) 으로 시작해 섬유화로 진행하여 심한 폐기능장애를 초래하는 질병군들로서 병의 종류에 따라 침윤되는 염증세포들의 종류에 차이가 있다. 근래에 염증세포들의 침윤을 유도하는 화학주유물질들(chemokine)이 많이 발견되었는데 이들은 화학구조에 따라 C-X-C형과 C-C형으로 분류되며, 구조만 다를 뿐 아니라 작용하는 세포도 차이가 있기 때문에 주로 분비되는 화학주유물질의 종류에 따라 폐포염의 종류가 결정이될 가능성이 많다. 이에 연구자들은 폐포염과 화학주유물질과의 연관성 및 폐포대식세포 (AM)가 이들 화학주유물질의 주 근원이 되는가를 알아보기 위하여 DILD 환자들에서 cytokine을 분비하여 발병기 전에 주작용을 한다고 알려진 AM 에서의 C-X-C 형 IL-8 과 C-C 형인 MIP- 1 ${\alpha}$ 의 분비 및 BAL액내에서의 이들 화학주유물질들의 농도를 폐포염의 양상을 잘 반영한다고 알려진 BAL 액내 세포양상과 비교분석 하였다. 대상및 방법: 대상은 임상소견과 조직검사로 확진된 lPF 환자 10명, 교원성질환과 연관된 폐섬유증 환자 4명, 폐유육종중 10명과 과민성폐장염 환자 2명, 총 26명과 정상 대조군 7명이었고, 이들에서 BAL을 시행하여 그 세포구성의 변화를 관찰하고, AM을 분리배양하여 그 상청액및 BAL액에서 의 IL-8과 MIP- 1 ${\alpha}$ 의 농도를 ELISA 방법으로 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 결과: AM 에서의 IL-8 분비는 DILD 환자들에서 $8.15{\pm}4.58$ ng/ml로 정상 대조군 ($1.10{\pm}0.93$ ng/ml)보다 유의하게 (p=0.0003) 증가하였고, AM에서 분비된 IL-8 량은 BAL액내 총세포수와 (r=0.484, p=0.0068), 또 BAL액내 dla파구의 백분률 (r=0.592, p=0.0004)및 임파구의 수효 (r=0.516, p=0.0042), AM의 백분플 (r=-0.505, 0.0032) 과 유의한 상관관계를 보여 주었다. AM에서의 MIP- 1 ${\alpha}$ 분비는 DILD환자군에서 ($2.41{\pm}1.45$ ng/ml) 정상인보다 ($0.63{\pm}0.30$ ng/ml, p=0.0031) 유의하게 증가되었으나, MIP- 1 ${\alpha}$ 의 분비량은 BAL액내 총세포수와 r=0.368, p=0.0456로 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었고, AM의 수효와 연관이 있는 경향을 (r=0.356, p=0.0579) 보어 주었을 뿐이었다. BAL 액내의 IL-8 농도는 DILD 환자군에서 ($40.4{\pm}34.5$ pg/ml)로 정상인의 $3.90{\pm}2.47$ pg/ml보다 높았고 (p=0.0094), IL-8 농도와 BAL 액내 총 세포수(r=0.484, p=0.0068), AM의 백분율(r=-0.505, p=0.0032), 임파구의 백분율 (r=0.592, p=0.0004) 및 임파구의 수효 (r=0.516, p=0.0042) 와 좋은 상관관계를 나타내어 IL-8 이 폐내 침윤된 염증세포의 종류를 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 시사하였다. 그러나 BAL액내 MIP- 1 ${\alpha}$ 의 농도는 정상인과 차이가 없었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 미루어 IL-8과 MIP- 1 ${\alpha}$ 모두가 DILD의 발병기전에 작용하나, IL-8 이 폐포염의 양상을 결정하는데 더 중요한 역한을 하는 것으로 추측되었다.

배 경: Endothelin(ET)은 혈관내피세포, 기도상피세포등에서 분비되고, 혈판 및 기도를 수축시키는 작용외에도 섬유아세포를 증식시키는 기능을 가지고 있다. 한편 미만성간질성폐질환은 염증세포의 침윤과 섬유화를 특정으로 하는 질환이며 이러한 질환을 가전 환자에서 혈장 및 기관지폐포세척액내의 ET 농도가 증가한다는 보고가 있었다. 또 폐혈관손상이 있는 경우 폐순환을 통한 ET의 제거율이 감소하기 때문에 ET의 동정맥비가 증가한다는 보고가 있었다. 이에 저자등은 미만성간질성폐질환 환자에서 혈장 ET 농도가 증가하는지, 또 증가한다면 어떠한 기전에 의하여 증가하는 지를 알고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 도플러심초음파상 폐동맥고혈압이 없는 미만성간질성폐질환 환자 17명과 정상대조군 11명을 대상으로 혈장, 요 중 및 기관지폐포세척액내의 ET 농도를 측정하였고, 또 이들의 ET 동-정맥 비와 요배설율을 구하였다. 성 적: 동맥혈, 정맥혈, 요 중 및 기관지폐포세척액내의 ET 농도는 미만성간질성폐질환군에서 대조군보다 유의하게 증가하였고 (P<0.05), ET의 동-정맥 비와 요배설율에는 유의한 차이가 없었다 (P>0.05). 결 론: 이상의 결과, 미만성간질성폐질환 환자의 혈장, 요 중 및 기관지폐포세척액내의 Endothelin농도는 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있었고, 혈장 ET농도 증가의 기전은 폐실질에서의 분비증가로 사료되었다.

단세포군항체(monoclonal antibody)를 이용한 항암제치료법이 다각적인 방면으로 실험되고 있으나, 환자에 주입된 단세포군항체중에서 실제의 암전달량은 언제나 기대치에 미치지 못하고 있다. 그러므로, 효과적인 항암제치료와 조기암진단을 위하여 암내부에서의 물질전달에 미치는 인자들의 포괄적인 측정이 필요하였다. 본 실험에서는 면역결핍누드쥐에 이식된 neurobastoma의 물질전달환경을 이해하기 위하여 성장특성과 포도당대사속도(GMR)를 측정하였으며, 세포간체액압력(IFP), 국부혈액속도(BPR)와 pH를 높이 2cm의 암에서 반경방향으로 측정하였다. 성장특성으로써 체적배가시간을, 세포활동성으로써 GMR를 측정하였더니, 각각 8.1일 (SD 0.44일), 23.53 mg/min/100g(SD 3.54 mg/min/100 g)이었다. 암중심 IFP는 암부피가 커짐에 따라 증가하여 높이 3cm의 암에서는 12.3mmHg(SD 2.6mmHg)이 되었다. 반경방향에 따른 IFP, BPR, pH를 특정한 결과, 암중심에 접근할수록 IFP는 증가되었고, 반면에 BPR과 pH는 감소되었다. 이로써 암내부에서의 증가된 IFP, 감소된 BPR과 pH가 단세포군항체와 그 공합체의 내부전달을 저해하는 원인으로 작용할 수 있다는 사실이 제시되었으며, 이들 인자들을 적당한 기술로 조절하여 더 많은 단세포군항체를 암내부로 전달시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
