폐의 원발성 림프종은 반응성 림프성 병변과 조직학적으로 감별하기가 어려우나, 반응성 림프증식 증은 polyclonality를 보이는 반면에 악성 림프종은 monoclonality를 보이므로 immunohistochemistry, PCR 분석을 이용하여 감별할 수 있다. 저자 등은 59세 여자 환자에서 개흉폐생검과 lmmunorustochemistry로 진단하고, PCR로 재확인한 악성 B-cell 림프종 1례를 경험 하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background: Mucous retention cyst refers to a cyst made by expansion due to the blockage of the salivary gland near the maxillary sinus, and it is surrounded by epithelial cells. Most of them are small; therefore, they cannot be found well and are frequently with antral polyp. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical prognosis of sinus bone graft in patients with mucous retention cyst. Methods: This study was performed retrospectively on 23 patients who had sinus bone graft. Group 1 was 8 patients (10 sinuses) who had a mucous retention cyst, and group 2 was 15 patients (17 sinuses) who had no pathologic history about the maxillary sinus. For these patients, sinus bone graft was performed using the lateral approach technique. The total 51 implants were placed 6.22 weeks on the average after sinus bone graft. Sinus membrane perforation during operation, postoperative complications, marginal bone loss after restorative function, implant success rate, and survival rate were analyzed. Results: There was no complication in group 1, and there were three complications in group 2. In group 2, two cases of implants failed. The types of postoperative complications consisted of two minor infections and one wound dehiscence. Two implants of total 51 implants were removed, and the survival rate of implants was 96.08 % (group 1 100 %, group 2 93.5 %). The total success rate of implants was 92.2 % (group 1 95 %, group 2 90.3 %). Conclusions: The clinical prognosis was not affected by the presence of mucous retention cyst.

Von Ebner's glands (vEG) are minor salivary glands associated with circumvallate and foliate papilla. The secretions of vEG consist of microenvironment of the taste buds in the circumvallate and foliate papillae, and thus saliva from vEG plays a role in the perception of taste. The $Ca^{2+}$ signaling system in rat vEG acinar cell was examined using the $Ca^{2+}$-sensitive fluorescent indicator Fura-2. Agonist-induced increase in intracellular $Ca^{2+}\;([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ was stimulated by carbachol (CCh) and substance P (SP), but not by norepinephrine (NE), and recovered to control levels by their receptor antagonists dose-dependently. The effects were also observed in $Ca^{2+}$-free medium, suggesting mobilization from intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ store. These results in the vEG acinar cell indicate that 1) $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ is at least regulated by muscarinic and neurokininergic (NK1) receptors; 2) the increases in $[Ca^{2+}])i$ activated by CCh and SP are mainly mediated by discharge of cytosolic calcium pool.

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is classified as either well, moderately, or poorly differentiated. The criteria used to classify the lesions are discussed, and pathologic features are illustrated. The most important factors in prognosis are : 1. degree of histologic differentiation, and 2. presence or abscence of tumor on the lines of surgical excision. Recurrences rates are correlated with histologic differentiation. Stewart, Foote, and Becker in 1945 coined the term "mucoepidermoid tumor" to discribe an unusual salivary neoplasm containing epidermoid and mucus-secreting cells which was thought to arise in salivsary gland ducts. The treatment of the mucoepidermoid carcinoma is chiefly surgical, although recent data have shown favorable responses to radiation therapy. Currently, surgery followed by radiation treatment is recommended for intermediate-grade and high-grade tumors ; low-grade tumors can be managed by surgery alone. Authors present a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma managed with wide surgical resection and postoperative irradiation and showing a good clinical result with review of literatures.

The authors administered KCN, NaF,AS2O3 orally to rabbits and caused acute and chronic poisoning, then studied the teeth, jaw bones, and other oral tissues histopathologically. The results were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference between acute poisoned group by NaF and control group. But, vasodilatation in the connective tissues, esepcially marginal area of jaw bone, atrophy and destrution of glandualr cells was observed. 2. Chronic poisoned group by NaF showed degeneration and thicking of subcutanece fibrosis ective tissues, atrophy and degeneration of subcutaneous connective tissues, atrophy and degeneration of muscle fibers, vasodilation of subcutaneous in bone cavities(lacunae), and degeneration of odotlblasts in pulp tissue. 3. Acute poisoned group by KCN showed almost similar appearances as control group, and chronic poisoned group showed hyperplasia of baal layer in epitheilium, degeneration of subcutaneous connective tissues, vasodilation and huperemia, severe hemorrhage of marginal area of jaw bone. hyperplasia of salivary gland ducts, but normal arrangement of muscle fibers and narrow bone carity(lacunae) due to active osteoblastic action, osteodentin were observed. 4. Acute poisoned group by AS2O3 showed degeneration of basal cell, atrophy of blood vessels in palatal muscosa. Chronic poisoned group showed irregular cell arrangement and degeneration, reduction of capillaries in palatal mucosa. Osteoclasts in jaw bone were observed. 5. In Masson's Trichrome and Van Gieson Staining, chronic poisoned group by NaF showed thicking and loosening of subcutaneous connective tissues. Hyperplasia of intermuscular connective tissue was observed in chronic poisoning by KCN and NaF. In PAS staining, negative reation in outer layer of palatalmucosa, positive reaction in keratin layer and mild reaction of basal layer in palate and tongue mucosa was observed.

구강 내에 발생되는 질환의 대부분이 타액의 영향을 받는다는 사실과 타액에 영향을 주는 전신적인 요소 중에서도 스트레스가 중요하다는 것은 이미 잘 알려져 있으나, 스트레스가 타액선에 미치는 영향에 관해서는 자율신경에 의한 거시적 반응에 대하여만 소개가 되었을 뿐 세포수준의 미시적 변화에 대하여는 별다른 언급이 없었다.. 이에 본 연구에서는 다양한 스트레스 조건하에서 백서의 악하선이 어떠한 변화를 보이는지를 clusterin 의 발현양상을 관찰함으로써 유추해보고자 하였다. 부여할 스트레스 조건을 급성 구속스트레스와 만성 저강도 스트레스의 두 가지로 정하고 7주된 Sprague-Dawley계 웅성백서 51마리를 사용하여 정해진 기간동안 급성 구속스트레스와 만성 저강도 비예측성 스트레스 (CUMS)를 가한 후 희생하여 악하선을 절취하고 역시 면역조직화학법과 웨스턴 면역점적법을 이용하여 악하선에서 clusterin발현의 시간에 따른 변화를 관찰하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다: 1. 급성 구속스트레스 군에서, Clusterin 이 발현된 모든 선포의 합은 1시간 군을 제외한 모든 실험군 (9시간, 24시간, 72시간, 120시간, 그리고 168시간 군) 에서 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있게 감소하는 경향을 보였다 (p<0.001). 2. 만성저강도스트레스 군에서, 대조군에 대한 clusterin이 발현된 모든 선포의 합은, 2주군(p<0.01)에서 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가되는 모습을 보여주었고, 4주군(p<0.01)과 5주군(p<0.001)에서 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 3. 만성 저강도 스트레스 실험에서 4주째까지는 대조군과 실험군간의 당선호도 차이에 있어서 유의한 변화가 보이지 않았으나, 5주째에 유의성 있는 감소를 나타내었다(p<0.001). 4. 만성 저강도 스트레스 부여군은 5주째 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있는 체중변화(p<0.001)를 보여주었으나, 수분섭취량의 변화는 유의성 있는 상관관계를 보여주지 못하였다. 5. 면역점적검사를 시행한 결과, 구속스트레스 군에서는 clusterin의 발현이 시간에 따라 일정하게 감소하는 것으로 표현되었고, CUMS 군에서는 2주째까지는 증가하다가 3주 이후부터 실험 전기간에 걸쳐 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 당선호도 및 몸무게 변화의 양상의 변화와 크게 다르지 않았다. 따라서 위의 실험결과를 놓고 볼 때, 타액선 clusterin의 발현이 급성과 만성에 관계없이 스트레스 부여 후에 감소하였지만, 다른 문헌에서 제안된 것처럼 clusterin 의 고갈에 의한 세포자사적 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 향후 보다 강화된 강도의 급성스트레스를 부여하는 방법과 더 장기적으로 진행된 연구를 통하여 고강도 스트레스에서 clusterin의 발현감소와 함께 세포의 변성이나 자사가 초래되는지, 저강도 스트레스의 경우 장기간 시간이 경과함에 따라 원래의 상태에 가깝게 회복되는지, 다른 열 충격 단백질이나 세포 사멸 시에 나타나는 단백질들을 동시에 확인하여 보는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Cellular transforming genes have been identified in a number of different tumor cell lines and tumor types. A significant number of these oncogenes belong to the ras gene family. The ras gene family consists of three closely related genes:H-ras, K-ras and N-ras which code for a related 21 kDa protein. Mutations in codon 12, 13 and 61 of one of the three ras genes convert these genes into acute oncogenes. The presence of H-ras gene mutations has important prognostic implications in various tumors. Each genomic DNA was isolated from tumors induced by implantation with DMBA, or by treatment with DMBA -implantation/irradiation. When genome DNA was transfected into NIH 3T3 cells and investigated by two-step PCR-RFLP, the fOllowing results were concluded: 1. Transformation foci developed in two groups when the genome DNA of two experimental groups were transfected into NIH 3T3 cells. 2. Transformation efficiency was 0.01-0.02 foci/㎍DNA in the experimental group with the DMBA-implantation, 0.01-0.03 foci/㎍lgDNA in the experimental group with the DMBA-implantation/irradiation according to results of transfection assay. 3. When the point mutation of H-ras gene was investigated by a two-step PCR-RFLP, there was 13.9％ (5/36) in the experimental group with the DMBA implantation, 15.4 ％ (6/39) in the experimental group with the DMBA -implantation/irradiation. 4. The point mutation in codon 12 and 61 of H-ras was 5.6％(2/36) and 8.3％(3/36) in the experimental group with the DMBA implantation. 5. The point mutation in codon 12 and 61 of H-ras gene was 7.7％(3/39) in the experimental group with the DMBA -implantation/irradiation.
