In order to investigate the effect of Naetakchungumsankamibang(NTCGS) water extract on the skin tumor induced by 3-MCA and immunological responses in mice, the cytotoxicity against SK-MEL-2 cells and total number of tumors induced by 3-MCA were measured. The numbers of WBC, platelets and RBC, plaque forming cells, hemagglutinin titer, hemolysis titer, carbon clearance, proliferation of splenocyte by thymidine uptake assay, splenic leukocyte by FACS analysis and $TNF-{\alpha}$ were also measured for the evaluation of the immunological responses. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In cytotoxicity against SK-MEL-2 cells, concentration inhibiting cell growth up to below $20\%$ of control was recognized at 1mg/ml of NTCGS. 2. In Inhibitory effect on the skin tumor induced by 3-MCA, the results showed a strong inhibitory effect of NTCGS. 3. In hematological changes in the tumor bearing mice, the numbers of WBC decreased significantly in NTCGS treated group as compared with control. 4. In hematological changes in the tumor bearing mice, the numbers of platelets increased significantly in NTCGS treated group as compared with control. 5. In hematological changes in the tumor bearing mice, the numbers of RBC increased with no significance in NTCGS treated group as compared with control. 6. Effects of the plaque forming cells in the tumor bearing mice, NTCGS treated group exhibited a significant effect compared with control. 7. In terms of the effects on hemagglutinin titer, NTCGS treated group showed higher level than control, without significance. 8. In terms of the effects on hemolysis titer, NTCGS treated group showed higher level than control, without significance. 9. In terms of the effects on phagocytic index K in Balb/C mice, NTCGS treated group showed significant difference from control. 10. In terms of the effects on proliferation of splenocyte by thymidine uptake assay, NTCGS showed significant effect at the concentration of 0.5mg/ml. 11. In terms of the effects on splenic leukocyte of Balb/C mice by FACS analysis, NTCGS treated group showed significantly higher level of helper T cell, B cell and macrophage than in control. 12. In terms of the effects on the secretion of $TNF-{\alpha}$, the treated group showed significant effect at the concentration of 1mg/ml of NTCGS. Based on the results summarized above, NTCGS is considered to have antitumor activity and immunological responses against skin tumor, and to be usable fur the treatment.

The cytotoxic and antitumor activity of Perilla frutescens extract on cultured 3T3 fibroblast and skin melanoma cells were evaluated by tetrazolium MTT (MTT) and neutral red (NR) colorimetric assay methods. Lactate dehydrogenase activity was also measured. The light microscopic study was carried out to observe morphological changes of cultured mouse fibroblast and skin melanoma cells. The results were as follows: 1. Water and ether extracts showed a significant cytotoxicity in 3T3 fibroblast and all extracts exhibited a significant anti-tumor activity in skin melanoma cells. Methanol, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts showed low cytotoxic effects, but exhibited a high anti-tumor activity. 2. The MTT absorbance in 3T3 fibroblast was significantly decreased by treatment with ether, water, chloroform and ethanol extracts and skin melanoma cells was significantly decreased by treatment with all extracts. The difference in MTT absorbance in two cell types was most remarkable when treated with methanol and ethanol extracts. 3. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts showed the strongest effect in growth inhibition of melanoma cells. These results indicated that methanol extract possessed a low cytotoxicity and a strong anti-tumor activity.

피부와 유선 종양은 개에서 매우 빈번히 발생하는 종양으로, 종양 발생의 위험은 나이가 증가함에 따라 종양의 발생률은 증가하며, 발병률과 발병부위의 분포는 종양의 종류마다 다르다. 피부와 유선종양의 발생은 공기오염, 식생활 등 환경의 변화와도 관련이 있어 이들 종양들의 발생양상은 그 사회의 환경을 반영할 수 있어 시대와 지역에 따라 다양하게 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서, 그 동안의 많은 보고들에도 불구하고, 피부와 유선종양발생에 대한 자료들은 종양에 대한 수의임상학적 진단과 치료를 위한 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 2005년 1월 1일부터 2006년 12월 31일까지 수의과학검역원과 강원대학교에 의뢰된 128증례의 개 피부종양과 240증례의 개 유선종양을 Goldschmidt와 Misdorp의 형태학적 기준에 의해 조직병리학적으로 진단하여, 종별, 성별 및 부위별로 각각 분류하여 국내에서 이들 종양의 발생양상을 체계적으로 분석하였다. 피부종양에서는 피부상피세포종양, 샘종양 및 간질종양이 각각 14.1%, 41.4%와 44.5%였다. Cutaneous histiocytoma가 피부종양에서 가장 빈번하게 관찰되어 전체 피부종양의 25.0%를 차지하였으며, 기름샘종 (sebaceous gland adenoma; 15.6%), 기저세포종(basal cell tumor; 8.6%), 항문둘레샘종 (perianal gland adenoma; 6.3%)와 지방종 (lipoma; 6.3%)순으로 높았다. 그 외에 비만세포종, 모낭세포종과 중층편평상피암 등이 관찰되었다. 이러한 피부종양들은 품종, 성과 나이 또는 부위에 따라 유사하거나 다른 양상을 나타내었다. 유선종양의 경우 양성과 악성이 201/240, 39/240으로 양성발생률이 현저히 높았으며, 양성혼합종 (benign mixed tumor)이 검사한 품종 모두에서 가장 높은 발생률 (35.0%)을 나타내었다. Complex adenoma는 Maltese와 Poodle에서 특히 높았으며, 악성종양에서는 simple carcinoma와 complex carcinoma가 각각 6.7%로, 악성 중 41.0%를 차지하여 가장 높은 발생률을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 최근 우리나라에서 여러 품종의 반려견에서 발생한 피부와 유선종양의 발생양상을 조직병리학적으로 진단 분석한 것으로, 임상수의사들이 지속적으로 증가추세에 있는 개의 피부와 유선종양을 진단하고 치료하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

This paper presents a hyperspectral imaging technique based on laser-induced fluorescence for non-invasive detection of tumorous tissue on mouse skin. Hyperspectral imaging sensors collect image data in a number of narrow, adjacent spectral bands. Such high-resolution measurement of spectral information reveals contiguous emission spectra at each image pixel useful for the characterization of constituent materials. The hyperspectral image data used in this study are fluorescence images of mouse skin consisting of 21 spectral bands in the visible spectrum of the wavelengths ranging from 440 nm to 640 nm. Fluorescence signal is measured with the use of laser excitation at 337 nm. An acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is used to capture images at 10 nm intervals. All spectral band images are spatially registered with the reference band image at 490 nm to obtain exact pixel correspondences by compensating the spatial offsets caused by the refraction differences in AOTF at different wavelengths during the image capture procedure. The unique fluorescence spectral signatures demonstrate a good separation to differentiate malignant tumors from normal tissues for rapid detection of skin cancers without biopsy.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae) has a wide array of pharmacologic effects. Our previous studies have demonstrated that [6]-gingerol, a major pungent ingredient of ginger, inhibits mouse skin tumor promotion and anchorage-independent growth of cultured mouse epidermal cells stimulated with epidermal growth factor. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying chemopreventive effects of [6]-gingerol on mouse skin carcinogenesis. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a key enzyme in the formation of prostaglandins, has been recognized as a molecular target of many chemopreventive as well as anti-inflammatory agents. The murine COX-2 promoter contains several transcriptional elements, particularly those involved in regulating inflammatory processes. One of the essential transcription factors responsible for COX-2 induction is NF-kappa B. Topical application of [6]-gingerol inhibited the COX-2 expression through suppression of NF-kappa B activation in phorbol ester-treated mouse skin. [6]-Gingerol, through down-regulation of p38 MAPK, abrogated the DNA binding activity of NF-kappa B by blocking phosphorylation of p65/RelA at the Ser 536 residue. These findings suggest that [6]-gingerol exerts an anti-tumor promotional activity through inhibition of the p38 MAPK-NF-kappa B siganling cascade in mouse skin.

The ideal scalp reconstruction involves closure of the defect with similar hair-bearing local tissue in a single step. Various reconstructions can be used including primary closure, secondary healing, skin grafts, local flaps, and microvascular tissue transfer. A 53-year-old female patient suffered glioblastoma, which had recurred for the second time. The neuro-surgeons performed radial debridement and an additional resection of the tumor, followed by reconstruction using a serratus anterior muscle flap with a split-thickness skin graft. Unfortunately, the flap became completely useless and a bilateral rotation flap was used to cover the defect. Two month later, seroma with infection was found due to recurrence of the tumor. Additional surgery was performed using multiple perforator based island flap. The patient was discharged two weeks after surgery without any complications, but two months later, the patient died. Radical surgical resection of tumor is the most important curative option, followed by functional and aesthetic reconstruction. We describe a patient with a highly malignant tumor that required multiple resections and subsequent reconstruction. Repeated recurrences of the tumor led to the failure of reconstruction and our strategy inevitably changed, from reconstruction to palliative treatment involving fast and stable wound closure for the patient's comfort.

Medical records of 139 tumors from 114 dogs that underwent surgery from May 2010 through March 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Among 114 dogs, females (64.9%) were significantly more common than males (35.1%) (p<0.05). Dogs aged 6 to 10 years were more presented than non-tumor patients, however, there was no significant difference. The mean age (±SD) was 10.3±3.0 years. Although we found no significant difference of breed predisposition, the most common breed was Maltese (19.3%), followed by Shih-Tzu (14.0%), and Yorkshire terrier (13.2%). Proportional morbidity ratios (PMRs) of mammary gland, oral cavity, and skin tumors were high in Poodles, Yorkshire terriers, and Golden retrievers, respectively. Mammary gland (36.0%) was the most common site, followed by skin and soft tissues (12.2%), oral cavity (10.8%), and digestive organs (8.6%), but there was no significant difference. The objectives of surgery were curative surgery (86.2%), biopsy (4.9%), and palliative surgery (6.5%). In this study, 123 of 139 tumors had histopathological diagnoses. Adenocarcinoma was the most common type (n=24), followed by adenoma (n=17), soft tissue sarcoma (n=13), benign mixed tumor (n=5), and others (n=64). Recurrence or suspected metastasis was identified in 26 dogs. Median survival times of malignant mammary gland tumors, skin and subcutaneous tumors, and splenic tumors were 1,563.0±1,201.7, 469, and 128 days, respectively.

Background Jeju Island is geographically and socioeconomically distinct from the mainland of South Korea. Thus, the presentation and management of non-melanocytic skin cancers (NMSC) of the head and neck may differ from those in other regions of the country. We compared the clinical characteristics and treatment modalities of NMSC on Jeju Island with the findings of similar regional studies. Methods Patient data, including age, sex, diagnosis, tumor site, treatment, and recurrence, were obtained from the medical and pathology records of patients diagnosed with NMSC between January 2010 and June 2015. Results In total, 190 patients (57 men) with a mean age of 75 years (range, 42-97) were assessed. Overall, 203 NMSCs were diagnosed, including 123 basal cell carcinomas and 80 squamous cell carcinomas. The tumor sites included the nose, cheeks, periorbital area, and lips (n=55, 54, 25, and 20, respectively). We identified 92 T1-stage and 60 T2-stage tumors, and 120 cases were treated with wide surgical resection and 17 cases were treated with radiation therapy at the medical center. Of the 120 cases treated surgically, 69 required reconstructive surgery using a local skin flap, 22 required full-thickness skin grafting, and 12 underwent primary closure. Basal and squamous cell carcinomas recurred in 2 and 1 cases, respectively. Conclusions Compared to the reports from other regions, the average patient age was 10 years higher, with a marked female preponderance. While the proportion of squamous cell carcinoma was higher than in other regions, the tumor distribution and surgical management profiles were similar.

자외선에 의한 만성 피부손상에 대한 누에동충하초($Paecilomyces$ $japonica$)추출물(PJE)의 방어효과를 피부주름 및 암발생을 지표로 관찰하였다. 자외선 단독 조사마우스에서 피부노화의 지표인 피부주름이 형성되었으며, PJE투여에 따라 주름등급은 낮게 나타났다. 실험 22주에 자외선 단독조사군에서 부형제 복강내주사군은 88.9%, 연고기재 피부도포군에서는 44.4%의 동물에서 1개 이상의 피부암이 발생되었다. PJE 복강내 주사의 경우 암발생 개시시간이 지연되었으며, 발생율은 PJE 복강내 주사군 및 피부도포군에서 공히 감소하였고, PJE 복강내 주사군의 경우 마리당 발생암의 수도 감소하였다. 실험 22주에 PJE 복강내 주사군에서는 80.0%, 피부도포군에서는 75.0%의 동물에서 암은 발생되지 않았다. 결론적으로 자외선 만성 노출에 의해 피부의 광노화 및 광발암이 나타났고 PJE에 의해 피부만성 손상이 완화됨을 알 수 있었다.
