This is a retrospective analysis of 8 patients with olfactory neuroepithelioma treated by external radiation during 1981-1988. Their age ranged from 13 to 65 years. All of them were male patients. At the time of diagnosis, six patients were classified as Kadish stage C, two were stage B, and none of them were stage A. Six of eight patients treated by external irradiation, only one patient had complete surgical resection followed by postoperative irradiation. Another one patient received one course of induction chemotherapy followed by radical irradiation. Three patients developed local recurrences and five patients had distant metastasis. One patient with stage B disease who had complete surgical resection followed by postoperative irradiation was alived without evidence of disease. Seven of eight patients died of tumor, with a duration of survival ranging from 3 to 106 months.

Background: To compare response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) and volumetric evaluation (VE) for colorectal cancer with liver-limited metastasis. Patients and Methods: VE of liver metastases was performed by manual contouring before and after chemotherapy on 45 pairs of computed tomography (CT) images in 36 patients who suffered from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with liver metastasis only. Cohen kappa was used to compare the agreement between VE and RECIST. Pearson correlation was performed for their comparison after cubic root transformation of the aggregate tumor volumes. Logistic regression was done to identify clinical and radiographic factors to account for the difference which may be predictive in overall response (OR). Results: There were 16 partial response (PR), 23 stable disease (SD) and 6 progressive disease (PD) cases with VE, and 14 PR, 23 SD and 8 PD with RECIST. VE demonstrated good agreement with RECIST (${\chi}$=0.779). Discordant objective responses were noted in 6 pairs of comparisons (13.3%). Pearson correlation also showed excellent correlation between VE and RECIST ($r^2$=0.966, p<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that VE was in slightly better agreement with RECIST for enlarging lesions than for shrinking lesions ($r^2$=0.935 and $r^2$=0.780 respectively). No factor was found predictive of the difference in OR between VE and RECIST. Conclusions: VE exhibited good agreement with RECIST. It might be more useful than RECIST in evaluation shrinking lesions in cases of numerous and conglomerate liver metastases.

This study was aimed at testing the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes and apoptosis genes for in vitro culture in porcine embryos produced by in vitro maturation/in vitro fertilization (IVM/IVF). Pocine preimplantation embryos obtainted from IVM/IVF can be successfully culture in vitro, but they are delayed or stop to develop at specific developmental stage. Many factors such as reactive oxygen species and apoptosis in an IVM/IVF system followed by in vitro culture influence the rate of production of viable blastocysts. Porcine embryos derived from IVM/IVF were cultured in the atmosphere of 5% $CO_2$ and 20% $O_2$ at $38.5^{\circ}C$ in NCSU23 medium. The patterns of gene expression for antioxidant enzymes and apoptosis genes during in vitro culture in pocine IVM/IVF embryos were examined by the modified semi-quantitative single cell reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Porcine embryos produced by in vitro procedures were expressed mRNAs for CuZn-SOD, GAPDH and GPX, whereas transcripts for Mn-SOD and catalase were not detected at any developmental stages. Expression of caspase-3 mRNA was detected at 2 cell, 8 cell 16 cell and blastocyst, but p53 mRNA was not detected at any stages. The fas transcripts was only detected in blastocyst stage. These results suggest that various antioxidant enzymes and apoptosis genes play crucial roles in vitro culture of porcine IVM/IVF embryos.

A broiler experiment was conducted to compare the effects of supplementary iron sources and levels on the iron content of broiler meat. Two hundred and fifty hatched Ross broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments. Each treatment had 5 replicates of 10 birds (5 males and 5 females). Birds were housed in raised floor batteries and fed traditional broiler diets ad libitum for 5 weeks. Dietary treatments were as follows: Control, Fe-Met 100 (100 ppm iron as Fe-methionine), Fe-Met 200, $FeSO_4$ 100 (100 ppm iron as $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$) and $FeSO_4\;200$. There were no significant differences among treatments in parameters related to production performance. Liver contained approximately 10 times more iron than the leg muscle which contained approximately 3 times more iron than either breast muscle or wing muscle. Significant differences in iron content in the broiler meat were observed. In the breast meat, Fe-Met treatments were significantly (p<0.05) higher than other treatments in iron content. In the leg meat, Fe-Met treatments and $FeSO_4\;200$ treatment were significantly higher than the control in iron content. In the wing muscle, Fe-Met 200 treatment was significantly higher than other treatments in iron content. Iron content in the liver was significantly influenced by source and supplementation level of iron. Fe-Met treatments were higher than $FeSO_4$ treatments and 200 ppm treatments were higher than 100 ppm treatments in iron content in the liver. It is concluded that iron-methionine chelate is more efficient than iron sulfate and 200 ppm iron supplementation as Fe-Met is recommended for maximum iron enrichment in broiler meat.

Chondrosarcoma of the head and neck is very rare tumor and this incidence was reported to be about 10% of all chondrosarcomas. Maxilla is the most common site of involvement and mandible, paransal sinus, nasal cavity and base of skull in that order. In general, chondrosarcoma has been known to be radioresistant, however since the Princess Margaret Hospital reported that it was radioresponsive tumor in 1980, the role of radiotherapy has been emphasized in terms of local control, especially in head and neck regions where complete excion is often difficult to achieve. The authors experienced 4 cases of chondrosarcoma of head and neck among all 29 chondrosarcoma patients from 1971 to 1985. The clinical and pathologic feature of this disease, it's treatment and prognosis were reviewed along with the literatures.

Tenofovir nanoparticles are novel therapeutic intervention in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection reaching the virus in their sanctuary sites. However, there has been no systemic toxicity testing of this formulation despite global concerns on the safety of nano drugs. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the toxicity of Tenofovir nanoparticle (NTDF) on the liver and kidney using an animal model. Fifteen adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats maintained at the animal house of the biomedical resources unit of the University of KwaZulu-Natal were weighed and divided into three groups. Control animals (A) were administered with normal saline (NS). The therapeutic doses of Tenofovir (TDF) and nanoparticles of Tenofovir (NTDF) were administered to group B and C and observed for signs of stress for four weeks after which animals were weighed and sacrificed. Liver and kidney were removed and fixed in formal saline, processed and stained using H/E, PAS and MT stains for light microscopy. Serum was obtained for renal function test (RFT) and liver function test (LFT). Cellular measurements and capturing were done using ImageJ and Leica software 2.0. Data were analysed using graph pad 6, p values < 0.05 were significant. We observed no signs of behavioural toxicity and no mortality during this study, however, in the kidneys, we reported mild morphological perturbations widening of Bowman's space, and vacuolations in glomerulus and tubules of TDF and NTDF animals. Also, there was a significant elevation of glycogen deposition in NTDF and TDF animals when compared with control. In the liver, there were mild histological changes with widening of sinusoidal spaces, vacuolations in hepatocytes and elevation of glycogen deposition in TDF and NTDF administered animals. In addition to this, there were no significant differences in stereological measurements and cell count, LFT, RFT, weight changes and organo-somatic index between treatment groups and control. In conclusion, NTDF and TDF in therapeutic doses can lead to mild hepatic and renal histological damage. Further studies are needed to understand the precise genetic mechanism.

본 연구는 PI한 한국흑염소 수정란의 이식 결과를 통해 수란 흑염소의 수태율에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되는 여러 가지 요인을 분석함으로써, 높은 수태율을 얻을 수 있는 수란 흑염소의 최적 조건을 찾아낼 목적으로 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 수태율에 유의적인 영향을 주는 요인들은 발정형태, 수술 빈도, 이식 부위, 황체의 발육 단계, 수정란의 발육단계, 이식된 수정란의 수 등이었다. 자연 발정이 관찰되어 이식된 흑염소(59.1%, 13/22)들이 $CIDR^(R)$로 발정이 유도된 후 이식된 흑염소(36.8%, 118/321)에서보다 높은 수태율을 나타내었으며(P<0.05), 두 번째 수술 받은 흑염소의 수태율(56.5%, 13/23)이 처음 이식 받은 흑염소(36.5%, 116/318)에 비해 수태율이 높았다(P<0.05). 이식한 부위에 따른 수태율은 좌측 난관에 이식한 흑염소(49.0%, 50/102)가 오른쪽 난관에 이식한 흑염소(35.9%, 46/128)에 비해 수태율이 더 높게 나타났으며(P<0.05), 황체의 발육 단계에 따른 수태율에서는 $CH_1$단계(47.5%, 57/120) 출혈체를 가진 수란 흑염소에서 $CH_3(17.9%,\;7/39)$의 출혈체를 가진 수란 흑염소보다 높은 수태율을 얻었다(P<0.01). 수정란의 발육단계에 따른 차이는 난관 이식의 경우에 1세포기 배가 이식된 수란 흑염소의 수태율(51.6%, 49/95)이 4세포기배를 이식한 경우(24.5%, 12/49)보다 높았다(P<0.01). 수정란의 수는 2개를 이식했을 때(27.%, 37/137)보다 3개를 이식했을 때(47.6%, 50/105) 더 높은 수태율을 얻었다(P<0.01). 수태율에 유의적인 영향이 없는 요인들은 난관 유착이나 자궁 유착, 난소 유착, 자궁각의 크기, 황체의 수, 대형 난포의 존재 유무, 이식의 난이도 등이었다 그러나, 중간 크기의 자궁을 가진 수란 흑염소(38.9%, 122/314)에서 직경 5mm 이하의 작은 자궁을 가진 수란 흑염소(20%, 1/5)나 20mm 이상의 큰 자궁을 가진 수란 흑염소(18.2%, 2/11)보다 수태율이 높은 경향을 보였고, 배란 황체가 있는 같은 쪽 난소에 대형 난포가 존재할 경우(53.3%, 16/30)에 존재하지 않는 경우(37.1%, 104/280)보다 수태율이 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, 이식이 쉽게 이루어진 경우(39.2%, 125/319)에 이식이 어렵거나(27.8%, 5/18) 곤란한 경우(0%, 0/3)에서보다 높은 수태율을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서, 자궁각의 크기나 대형 난포의 존재 유무, 이식의 난이도 등도 수정란 이식 후의 수태율에 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 PI한 한국 흑염소 수정란의 이식 시 높은 수태율을 얻기 위해서는 수란 흑염소는 자연 발정 온 개체를 이용하고, 난관에 이식하고자하는 경우에는 난소에 $CH_1$ 단계의 출혈체가 존재하는 쪽 난관에 1세포기의 수정란을, 그리고 자궁에 이식하는 경우에는 난소에 발육 단계가 $CL_3$인 황체가 존재하는 쪽 자궁각에 중기 배반포나 후기 배반포를 이식하는 것이 가장 바람직하다는 결론을 얻었다.
