  • A total of 96 cases of invasive breast ductal carcinoma were examined for immunohistochemical expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the epithelial tumor cells and endothelial cells of the blood vessels. We also investigated the association between both proteins in the epithelium in relation to tumor characteristics such as tumor size, grade, lymph node involvement, microvessel density (MVD), hormonal receptors expression and c-erbB-2 overexpression. Bax expression showed a significant association between tumor and endothelial cells (p<0.001) while Bcl-2 expression in tumor cells was inversely associated with that in the endothelial cells (p<0.001). Expression of Bcl-2 in tumor cells was strongly associated with expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors (p=0.003 and p=0.004, respectively). In addition, intratumoral MVD was significantly higher than peritumoral MVD (p<0.001) but not associated with Bax or Bcl-2 expression and other tumor characteristics. We concluded that the number of endothelial cells undergoing apoptosis was in direct linkage with the number of apoptotic tumor cells. Anti-apoptotic activity of the surviving tumor cells appears to propagate cancer progression and this was influenced by the hormonal status of the cells. Tumor angiogenesis was especially promoted in the intratumoral region and angiogenesis was independent of anti-apoptotic activity.

  • Background: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a strong predictor of mortality in patients with pancreatic, colorectal, lung, gastric cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between pathological complete response (pCR) and pretreatment NLR values in locally advanced breast cancer (BC) patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Materials and Methods: Datawere collected retrospectively from the Akdeniz University School of Medicine Database for locally advanced BC patients treated with NACT between January 2000-December 2013. Results: A total of 78 patients were analyzed. Sixteen (20%) patients achieved pCR. Estrogen receptor (ER) positivity was lower in pCR+ than pCR-cases (p=0.011). The median NLR values were similar in both arms. The optimum NLR cut-off point for BC patients with PCR+ was 2.33 (AUC:0.544, 95%CI [0.401-0.688], p=0.586) with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value (NPV) of 50%, 51,6%, 21,1%, and 80%, respectively. Conclusions: This study showed no relationship between the pCR and pretreatment NLR values. Because of a considerable high NPV, in the patients with higher NLR who had luminal type BC in which pCR is lower after NACT, such treatment may not be recommended.

  • The expression of sex steroid hormone receptors by neoplastic cells is an important predictor of response to hormone therapy. Thus, the selection of treatment modality is often based on the identification of receptors in tumor tissue. Various monoclonal antibodies of high specificity are now available for analyzing the estrogen receptor (ER). With these antibodies, biochemical enzyme immunoassay and immunohistochemistry using histologic sections have been used for ER analysis. We used fine needle aspirates from 15 human primary breast carinomas for the analysis of ERs. The semiquantitative receptor values obtained in cytologic specimens were correlated well with those from histologic specimens. The results of ER in fine needle aspirates were concordant with ER in histologic specimens(r=0.94). Only three cases showed a little difference in staining intensity and proportion of positive cells. Our results showed a good correlation between the receptor values determined in cytologic smears and those determined in tissue sections. It is suggested that measurement of the ER in cytologic smears may be a reliable technique which can be performed on aspiration cytologic samples.

  • A simple, label-free microfluidic cell purification method is presented for separation of cancer cells by exploiting difference in cell adhesion. To maximize the adhesion difference, three types of polymeric nanostructures (50nm pillars, 50nm perpendicular and 50nm parallel lines with respect to the direction of flow) were fabricated using UV-assisted capillary moulding and included inside a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channel bonded onto glass substrate. The adhesion force of human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) and human breast carcinoma (MCF7) was measured independently by injecting each cell line into the microfluidic device followed by culture for a period of time (e.g., one, two, and three hours). Then, the cells bound to the floor of a microfluidic channel were detached by increasing the flow rate of medium in a stepwise fashion. It was found that the adhesion force of MCF10A was always higher than that of MCF cells regardless of culture time and surface nanotopography at all flow rates, resulting in a label-free detection and separation of cancer cells. For the cell types used in our study, the optimum separation was found for 2 hours culture on 50nm parallel line pattern followed by flow-induced detachment at a flow rate of $300{\mu}l/min$.

  • Wheat is rich in sources of fiber, oligosaccharides, and resistant starch, simple carbohydrates which may have a protective role against carcinoma. Additionally, Whole wheat/bran as well includes contains phytochemicals such as flavonoids, lignans, folate, phytosterols, phenolic acids, and tocols. The above phytochemicals suitable forms antioxidant and cholesterol-reducing activities. Phytoestrogens are regarded as especially essential in the preventative measures of hormonally dependent malignancies such as breast cancer (BC). In this study lowered BC risk has been associated with whole grain/bran consumption with an odds ratio (OR=0.24 and 95 %CI=0.10-0.56). Wheat/bran appears to have a reliable protective impact against BC. While intake of white bread has been associated with a high risk of BC (OR=2.63 and CI 95 %=1.07-6.48). Also, the E-Selectin (SELE) Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs5353 A/G and rs932307 C/T were investigated using the sanger sequences approach. There was a positive association between genotypes (rs5353 GG+AG) and (rs932307 TT+CT) with rate consumption of wheat-white/bread and these genotypes were more frequent in patients had BC in comparison with a significant difference (P=0.03) (P=0.01), respectively. The genotypes (GG+AG) frequency of the rs5353 polymorphism and (TT+CT) genotypes of the rs932307 polymorphism in the present study had a high risk of cancer with (OR=3.05), (OR=4.17) respectively. While these genotypes showed no significant association with the rate of whole grain consumption in patients and control. Therefore, the type of wheat may associate with increased incidence of disease-related with type of Polymorphism because some present genotypes of SNPs showed high (OR) which may refer to their positive associated with disease, the white wheat consumption may active the risky association between SNPs and BC.

  • 목 적: 유방 초음파상 복합성 낭성 종괴를 조직 검사한 결과를 바탕으로 그 결과를 분석하여 초음파 검사자에게 적절한 검사 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 6월 30일부터 2007년 6월 30일까지 4년 동안 C병원에서 조직 검사 및 수술을 통해 병리 조직학적 결과가 확진된 342명의 환자 중 유방 초음파 소견이 복합성 낭종에 해당한다고 판단되는 178명의 병변을 대상으로 하였다. 주위 조직에 대한 평가나 석회화, 혈류의 분포 상태 등은 분석 대상에서 제외하였고 초음파 장비는 GE사의 logic 200을 사용하고, 조직 생검은 core biopsy용 gun (Kimal사, K7/MBD23)을 사용하였다. 결 과: 178명의 조직검사 결과는 FCC (n=56, 31.4%), Fibrosis (n=41, 23.0%), Fibroadenoma (n=20, 11.2%), Epithelial hyperplasia (n=17, 9.6%), Carcinoma (n=15, 8.4%), Fibroadipose (n=8명, 4.5%), Sclerosing adenosis (n=7, 3.9%), Duct ectasia (n=5, 2.8%), Papiloma (n=5, 2.8%), 그 외 Fat necrosis, Hemangioma, abscess, Dystrophic calcification이 각각(n=1, 0.6%)의 결과를 나타내었다. 결 론: 유방 초음파 영상에서 복합성 낭종의 조직 생검 결과는 Carcinoma 8.4%를 제외하고 모두 양성이었으며, 대부분 섬유 낭종의 스펙트럼에 속하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 비록 이러한 일반 원칙이 많은 환자군이 연구에서 확인되더라도, 본 연1구에서와 같이 매우 충분하지 못하다. 초음파상 명확히 알 수 없는 종괴에 대해서는 조직 검사를 해야 하는 것이 옳지만 그렇지 못한 경우, 3개월 후 재검을 하여야한다고 사료되며 앞으로도 초음파 영상 평가를 체계적으로 숙지하여 세심하고 주의 깊은 검사를 하여야 한다.

  • 병기 1기, 2기 유방암에서 유방보존적 수술 후 방사선치료는 기존의 유방전적출술을 대치할 수 있는 치료법으로 정립되었다. 연세암센터에서는 1991년 부터 유방보존술을 적극적으로 시행하였고 첫 3년동안 140예를 치료하였다. 목적 : 연세암센터에서 시행하고 있는 유방보존술의 적응증, 치료방침과 방사선치료 방법을 소개하고 결과 및 방사선치료의 부작용을 보고하고자 한다. 방법 : 1991년 1월부터 1992년 12월까지 연세암센터 치료방사선과에서 유방보존적수술 후 근치적 방사선치료를 받았던 64명의 조기 유방암 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 환자들은 종괴 또는 병변을 포함한 부분유방절제술과 액와임파절 곽청술을 시행받은 후 방사선치료를 받았다. 방사선치료는 수술후 3-18주에 시행되었는데 선형가속기 4MV X-ray를 사용하여서 침범된 유방 전체에 4500-5040 cGy를 5-6주에 걸쳐서 조사하였고 원발 병소 주변에 전자선을 사용하여서 1-2주에 걸쳐서 1000-2000 cGy를 추가 조사하였다. 치료를 받았던 환자들의 임상적 특성과 치료방법, 방사선치료에 따르는 부작용, 재발 여부 등을 분석하였다. 결과 : 대상환자들의 연령은 23세에서 59세로 중앙값이 40세 였다. 총 64명중 T1은 27명, T2는34명 이었으며 3명은 비침윤성 암이었다. 또한 전체의 $42.2\%$인 27명은 액와임파절 침윤이 있었다. 추적 기간(6-30개월, 중앙값 14개월) 동안 1예의 유방내 재발과 2예의 원격 전이가 관찰되었는데 유방내 재발은 원발병소와 다른 사분원에 위치하여서 처음 진단에서 발견하지 못했던 유방조영술상의 미세석회화음영에서 종괴가 자랐던 예로 다시 유방전적출술을 받은 후 무병생존 중이다. 방사선치료 중 또는 추적 기간 동안 치료를 요하는 부작용으로는 1예에서만 방사선 폐렴이 있었으나 대증요법 으로 완쾌되었다. 결론 : 추적 기간이 짧기 때문에 국소재발율, 생존율, 미용효과 등의 치료 결과를 평가하기는 이르지만 조기 유방암에서 유방보존적 수술과 근치적 방사선치료는 심한 급성 또는 아급성 부작용이 없는 안전하고 편안한 치료법임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 국소재발율을 낮추기 위해서는 유방보존술에 적합한 환자들을 선택하기 위한 철저한 평가가 필수적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • There were many controversies in the cause and progress of tumorigenesis. Recently, studies on the mutation of genes related to the tumor have extensively been performed due to development of molecular biology. Structural and morphological changes of chromosomes, which are related to the abnormal activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppression genes, transform the normal cells into the tumor cells. p53 and Rb are well known tumor suppressor genes, while oncogenes include c-myc, bcl-2 and ras, etc. When exposed to cell damaging agents, p53 inhibits cell growth by inducing transcription of p21. Especially p73, which is homo-logy of p53, frequently deleted in melanoma, neuroblastoma, colon cancer, and breast cancer, when over produced, p73 activates the transcription of p21, bax-1 and inhibits cell growth by inducing apoptosis. For study on mRNA expression of p21 and p73, normal oral keratinocytes, and cell lines of primary and metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma were cultured and then electrophoresis and RT-PCR(reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) were performed. 1. The mRNA of p21 and p73 in normal oral keratinocyte expressed lower than that of primary squamous cell carcinoma. 2. The mRNA of p21 in metastatic oral squamous carcinoma cell lines was expressed as various patterns compared with that of normal oral keratinocyte. 3. In the metastatic oral squamous cell lines, the mRNA of HN8 expressed higher than that of HN12 or HN19. 4. The mRNA of p73 in primary oral squamous cell lines expressed 4-5 times higher than that of normal keratinocyte. 5. In metastatic oral squamous cell lines, there was no significant expression of p73 mRNA compared with that of normal oral keratinocyte. From the results obtained in this study, mRNA expression of p73 in primary oral squamous cell lines was remarkable, while mRNA expression of p21 and p73 in metastatic oral squamous cell lines were statistically insignificant.
