This study was examined on the effect of ex-vivo immunotherapy in 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat mammary carcinogenesis. Sprague-Dawley female 40 rats were divided into Jour groups. As a positive control, Group I was intubated with DMBA, 5 mg /100 g body weight and single dose, at experimental onset. Group II was treated ex-vivo immunotherapy with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly I : C) and Group III was treated with Interleukin-2 (IL-2). Group IV was negative control. All rats were sacrificed at 16 weeks after DMBA intubation. Mammary gland wet weight, dry fat free tissue weight, incidence of tumor, and the number of lobules, alveolar buds, terminal end buds, and terminal ducts were examined. Morphological changes of the mammary gland after treated with DMBA were analyzed by whole mount and histopathological method. As results, the induced mammary tumors of Group I, II and III were 60%, 33% and 0%, respectively. Histopathological types of induced-mammary tumors were adenoma, adenocarcinoma and carcinosarcoma. In analysis of the whole mount method, the number of the terminal end buds, terminal ducts and lobules were significantly lower in Group II (p<0.01) and III (p<0.01) than DMBA alone treated Group I. In microscopic observation, hyperplastic alveolar nodules were significantly lower in Group III than Group I (p<0.01). In conclusion, IL-2 had strong inhibitory effect on the mammary gland tumorigenesis induced by DMBA in rats. Whole mount method may be a useful technique to assess the mammary carcinogenesis. Moreover, hyperplastic alveolar nodules were very sensitive parameter to assess the mammary carcinogenesis.

Scalco, Shimpson & Tabb가 lynch suspension laryngoscope를 이용하여 후두의 용종 및 병변의 치료목적으로 최초로 microsurgery에 성공한 후 Klein-sasser의 후두 microsurgery에 대한 신기술의 보고 및 체계화는 근래 20년 동안 발전된 microlaryngeal surgery에 많은 기여를 하였다. 최근 간접후두경하의 조작보다 이의 사용이 증가하는 경향이 있으며 이에 저자들은 1972넌 5월부터 1979년 4월까지 한양대학병원 이비인후과에서 suspension laryngoscope를 시행한 53명 (75례)에 대하여 다음과 같은 지견을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 1) 성별로는 남녀 1.3 : 1로 남자가 많았다. 2) 연령분포는 30대 14명(26.4%), 20대 10명 (18.7%), 50대 9명 (17%), 60대 7명 (13.234), 10세 미만 6명 (11.3%)의 순이고 최저 2세, 최고 74세였다. 3) 증상별로는 애성 48명 (90.6%), 호흡곤란 16명(30.5%), sore throat 8명 (15.1%)순이고 그외 이물감, 연하곤란 객담 구강건조감 인후불편 decannulation 곤란증 stridovr 기침등이 있었다. 4) 증상발현후 내원까지의 기간은 1∼6개월 11명(20.8%), 6개월∼l년 10명(18.9%), 1개월이하 8(15.1%), 2∼3년과 5∼10년 5명(9.4%), 1∼2년과 4∼5년 4명 (7.6%), 3∼4년과 10년이상이 3명(5.7%)의 순이고 최단기간은 후두마비에 의한 호흡곤란의 2일이었다. 5) 임상적 진단은 용종 18명(34%), 결절 12명(22.6%), 유두종 9명(17%), 종양 7명(13.2%), intubation granuloma 3명(5.7%)의 순이고 그외 decannulation 곤란증과 동반된 후두 협착, 성대마비, 혈종등이 있었다. 6) 48명의 병리조직학적 결과는 용종 17명 (35.4%), 유두종 11명(23%), 결절 9명(8.9%), 악성종양 3명(6.3%), 만성염증 2명(4.2%), 그외 hyperkeratosis, mucous retension cyst, 농양과 동반된 결절, 육아종, 혈종, 확인을 할 수 없던 것이 각각 1례씩 있다. 7) 종양의심환자 7명중 악성종양 3명, 유두종 1명, 농양과 동반된 결절 1명, 만성염증 1명 및 확인불가능이 1명이었다. 8) 반복시술한 경우는 6명이었고 기술적 곤란이 1례 유두종의 재발 5례였으며 최고 10회도 있었다. 9)병변의 부위는 결절 및 용종의 26명중 양측 15례(60%), 좌측 5례(19%), 우측 3례(12%), 전연합까지 침범된 경우 3례(12%)며 유두종 11명의 경우 전후두침범 7례(63.6%), 일측성대침범 3례(27.3%), 후두외 까지의 침범 1례(9.1%)였다.

Background: In elderly high-risk surgical patients, sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) should be an alternative to standard AVR. The potential advantages of sutureless aortic prostheses include reducing cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and facilitating minimally invasive surgery and complex cardiac interventions, while maintaining satisfactory hemodynamic outcomes and low rates of paravalvular leakage. The current study reports our single-center experience regarding the early outcomes of sutureless aortic valve implantation. Methods: Between October 2012 and June 2015, 65 patients scheduled for surgical valve replacement with symptomatic aortic valve disease and New York Heart Association function of class II or higher were included to this study. Perceval S (Sorin Biomedica Cardio Srl, Sallugia, Italy) and Edwards Intuity (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) valves were used. Results: The mean age of the patients was $71.15{\pm}8.60years$. Forty-four patients (67.7%) were female. The average preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction was $56.9{\pm}9.93$. The CPB time was $96.51{\pm}41.27minutes$ and the cross-clamping time was $60.85{\pm}27.08minutes$. The intubation time was $8.95{\pm}4.19hours$, and the intensive care unit and hospital stays were $2.89{\pm}1.42days$ and $7.86{\pm}1.42days$, respectively. The mean quantity of drainage from chest tubes was $407.69{\pm}149.28mL$. The hospital mortality rate was 3.1%. A total of five patients (7.69%) died during follow-up. The mean follow-up time was $687.24{\pm}24.76days$. The one-year survival rate was over 90%. Conclusion: In the last few years, several models of valvular sutureless bioprostheses have been developed. The present study evaluating the single-center early outcomes of sutureless aortic valve implantation presents the results of an innovative surgical technique, finding that it resulted in appropriate hemodynamic conditions with acceptable ischemic time.
