연구배경: CYFRA 21-1은 기관지 상피 세포에 혼재하는 cytokeratin 19 분절을 검출하는 종양표지자로서, 폐암 특히 편평 상피 세포암에 많이 발현되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 양성 폐질환중 폐실질의 손상이 심한 폐결핵 환자에서도 혈중 CYFRA 21-1 의 측정치가 진단 양성 기준치 보다 높을 경우 이 검사법의 특이도는 감소되며, 폐암이 동반된 결핵환자에서 CYFRA 21-1 이 폐암 진단에 보조적 검사법이 될 수 없을 것이다. 이에 저자는 CYFRA 21-1 의 측정이 폐암이 동반된 폐결핵환자에서 폐암진단에 유용한 검사법이 될 수 있을지를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 20명의 정상인과 25명의 폐암 환자를 대조군으로하고, 81명의 폐결핵 환자를 대상으로 객담 결핵균 도말 검사, 흉부 방사선 소견 및 과거 치료력에 따른 혈중 CYFRA 21-1의 농도 변화를 면역 방사 계수법으로 측정, 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결 과: 폐결핵 환자에서 혈중 CYFRA 21-1의 측정치는 $1.54{\pm}1.19ng/mL$로 폐암 환자의 $12.25{\pm}15.97ng/m$에 비하여 유의하게 낮았으며 (p<0.01), 정상인의 $0.90{\pm}0.49ng/mL$ 보다는 약간 높았으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 폐결핵환자에서 혈중 CYFRA 21-1 의 측정치가 진단양성 기준치 3.3 ng/mL 이하인 경우는 77명(95%)이었고, 폐암 환자중 측정치가 진단 양성기준치 이상인 경우는 16명(64%)이었다. 객담내 결핵균 도말 검사에 따른 혈중 CYFRA 21-1 의 측정치는 음성인 환자가 $1.72{\pm}1.45ng/mL$로 양성인 환자의 $1.33{\pm}0.79ng/mL$ 보다 높았으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 흉부 방사선 소견에 따른 혈중 CYFRA 21-1의 측정치는 결핵성 폐 침윤만 있는 환자가 $2.15{\pm}1.63ng/mL$로 폐 허탈이 동반된 환자의 $1.04{\pm}0.54ng/mL$에 비하여 유의하게 높았으며 (p<0.01), 공동 및 폐 허탈의 크기가 클수록 측정치가 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 초치료 환자에서 혈중 CYFRA 21-1의 측정치는 $1.91{\pm}1.55ng/mL$로 난치성 환자의 $0.92{\pm}0.30ng/mL$에 비하여 유의하게 높았다 (p<0.05). 결 론: 폐실질의 손상이 심한 초기 침윤성 병변을 가진 초치료 폐결핵 환자에서 혈중 CYFRA 21-1 의 측정치가 높았으나 측정치의 대부분이(95%) 진단 양성 기준치 이하였음으로, 폐암이 동반된 폐결핵 환자에서도 CYFRA 21-1 의 측정이 폐암의 진단에 보조적 검사법이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

연구배경: Cyfra 21-1은 상피종양세포의 세포질에 존재하는 cytokeratin 19의 분절로서 상피종양세포의 파괴시 혈중내로 유리되므로 그 혈중 농도를 측정하여 종양표지자로 이용할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 폐암, 폐결핵, 기타폐질환 및 정상대조군 환자들의 혈청내 Cyfra 21-1, SCC 항원 및 CEA의 농도를 측정하여 폐암의 종양표지자로서 Cyfra 21-1과 SCC 항원 및 CEA의 진단적 효용성을 비교 관찰하고자 하였다. 또한 편평상피세포암에서 Cyfra 21-1과 평상펴셰포암의 특이 종양표지자로 알려진 SCC 항원과의 진단적 민감도와 특이도의 차이를 비교하고 그 병기 진행에 따른 Cyfra 21-1의 혈중농도의 증가 여부를 관찰하고자 하였다. 방법: 1992년 12월부터 1993년 6월까지 서울중앙병원에 입원하여 조직생검으로 초진단된 원발성 폐암 79예(편평상피세포암 41예, 선암 18예, 기타의 미분화 비소세포양 14예, 소세포암 6예)와 폐결핵 32예, 기타폐질환 23예, 정상대조군 23예를 대상으로 하였다. Cyfra 21-1과 ELSA2-CEA를 사용하였고, SCC 항원은 방사계수측정 kit인 ABBOTT SCC RIABEAD를 사용하였다. 결과: 1) Cyfra 21-1의 혈중농도는폐암군이 평균({\pm}표준편차) $18.38{\pm}3.65\;ng/mL$로서 비교군 $1.16{\pm}0.53\;ng/mL$보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.0001). SCC 항원은 폐암군에서 $3.53{\pm}6.06\;ng/mL$로서 비교군 $1.19{\pm}0.5\;ng/mL$보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01). CEA는 폐암군에서 $35.03{\pm}13.9\;ng/mL$로서 비교군 $2.89{\pm}1.01\;ng/mL$ 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.0001). 2) 폐암군내에서는 Cyfra 21-1의 혈중농도가 편평상 피세포암군에서 $31.52{\pm}40.13\;ng/mL$로서 선암군 $2.41{\pm}1.34\;ng/mL$(p<0.0001) 및 소세포암군 $2.15{\pm}2.05\;ng/mL$(p=0.007) 보다 유의하게 높았다. SCC 항원의 혈중농도는 편평상피세포암군에서 $5.1{\pm}7.68\;ng/mL$로서 선암군 $1.36{\pm}0.69\;ng/mL$(p=0.009) 및 소세포암군 $1.1{\pm}0.24\;ng/mL$(p=0.024)보다 유의하게 높았다. 3) 편평상피세포암군에서 폐암의 병기 진행에 따른 Cyfra 21-1의 혈중농도의 증가는 없었다. 4) Cyfra 21-1의 진단양성 기준치를 3.3 ng/mL로 하였을때 편평상피세포암의 민감도가 83%로 선암의 22%, 소세포암의 17%보다 높게 산출되었다. SCC 항원의 민감도가 편평상피세포암에서 39%, 선암에서 11%, 소세포암에서 0% 이었다. CEA의 민감도가 편평상피세포암에서 20%, 선암에서 39%, 소세포암에서 33%이었다. 5) ROC 곡선 분석상 폐암의 진단에서 Cyfra 21-1의 민감도와 특이도가 SCC 항원 및 CEA 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: Cyfra 21-1은 폐임에서 SCC 항원 및 CEA에 비하여 민감도 및 특이도가 높은 종양표지자이며, 특히 편평상피세포암에서 그 민감도와 특이도가 높아 편평상피세포암의 특이 종양표지자로 알려진 SCC 항원보다 우수한 종양표지자로 사료되었다.

An 8-year old intact female poodle was presented to clinics due to abdominal distension, anorexia, and labored breath associated with pleural effusion. Intra-operative findings revealed multiple neoplasm of the greater omentum, involving anterolateral abdominal wall, sterna surface in the pleural cavity and diaphragm. These masses were 0.1~0.5 cm in diameter and extended to ovaries, pancreas, and serosal surface of stomach. Microscopically, most neoplastic cells had oval nuclei with prominent nucleoli and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. In deeper area, neoplastic acinus or glandular structures showed invaginated growth resembling adenocarcinoma. High mitotic figures were observed. By immunohistochemistry, the neoplastic cells were strong positive both cytokeratin and vimentin. The present case described for malignant mesothelioma in a dog. Our findings might be helpful for diagnosis and information and helped the clinics choose the treatment including chemotherapy such as cisplatin.

Purpose: To evaluate cultured human artificial skin as an experimental model for studying radiation effects in vitro. Materials and Methods: The skin was constructed by culturing keratinocytes over collagen lattice which made by culturing fibroblasts. Two groups were irradiated to gamma rays at single dose of 25 Gy with or without 3.5% of DMSO. Ultrastructures were investigated by electron microscopy after irradiation. The number of epidermal layers and expression of cytokeratin (CK) 14 & 10 were also seem by light microscopy. Results: At 2 days after irradiation in experimental group without DMSO, necrotic cells were rarely found in the spinosal layer and undercornified cells were visible in the homey layer. Similar findings were also found in experimental group with DMSO but in mild form. The number of epidermal layers in experimental group without DMSO were significantly fewer than other group. CK 14 expressed in all the layer excluding homey layer but CK 10 expressed over 3∼4 basal layers. Such patterns of CK expression were similar to all groups. It is suggested that structures of the keratinocytes and epidermal formation could be disturbed by irradiation in artificial skin and that DMSO can protect these damages. Conclusion : Therefore this work could be used as an organotypic experimental model in vitro using human cells for studying radiation effect in skin. Furthermore structural findings provided in this study could be used as useful basic data in further study using this model.

Ginsing polysaccharide, known to have an immune regulating effect, was administered to 23 randomly selected healthy male subjects with a mean age of 23 years in accordance with an IRB approval. Then, these subjects underwent physico-chemical tests and serum proteome was analyzed from the blood sample taken from these subjects. Analyses of proteome involved image analysis, protein sections and protein identification in sequence after two-dimensional electrophoresis was carried out. During the physico-chemical test, 4 subjects were excluded from the study. In the proteome analysis, identified were 5 spots such as SP40, 40, Cytokeratin 9, hypothetical protein LOC544932, Apolipoprotein E ,similar to Human albumin, which showed differences in the amount of protein expression. In conclusion, changes of 5 proteins were remarkable before and after administration of ginsing polysaccharides. In certain cases, hepatic and renal slight injury occurred. Thus, further clinical study on dosage regimen would be necessary for securing the basis for concentration-dependent effectiveness and safety.

Purpose: Large skin defect by various causes, should be covered by autologous skin graft. But, the donor site of autologous skin graft is limited and leaves permanent donor scar and contracture. There have been our trial to engineer artificial skin using allogenic dermis (AlloDerm) with basement membrane. Methods: Dermal and epidermal layer were separated by immersing in dipase solution for 30 minutes, and the separated layers were treated with 0.05% trypsin for 10 minutes. And then each layer was cultivated to fibroblasts and keratinocytes on a culture medium. Fibroblasts were first penetrated into basement membrane of allogenic dermis facing down, then allogenic dermis was flipped over to face up and keratinocytes were transplanted to allogenic dermis. Results: Observing artificial skin fabricated in vitro, we found following: 1) The artificial skin opened in air for 5 days formed epidermal layer. In dermal layer, fibroblast was distributed evenly among all. 2) The artificial skin opened in air for 30 days formed thicker and thicker, and it formed basement membrane, spinous and granular layers. PAS stain to confirm existence of basement membrane showed positive reaction. 3) Cytokeratin 10 stain to confirm the formation of epidermal layer showed positive reaction. 4) The formation of thick keratin, lamellar body and desmosome similar to human skin were observed in result of an electron micrograph. Conclusion: As a result of research, the structure seen in normal skin such as rete ridge, is found in reproduced artificial skin. This type of artificial skin can be used as a useful model for investigating skin disease and for clinical application also.

Chordoma is an uncommon neoplasm that accounts for approximately 1% to 4% of all primary bone neoplasms and thought to originate from remnants of the fetal notochordal elements. It usually occurs in adults and has a predilection for the sacrococcygeal and spheno-occipital areas. Chondroid chordoma, first described by Heffelfinger et al, is a rare variant of chordoma; it contains both chordomatous and chondromatous features, and has a considerably better prognosis than either chordoma or chondrosarcoma. The cytologic findings of fine needle aspiration of sacrococcygeal chondroid chordoma in a 57-year-old man are presented. Aspiration cytology showed many sheets and cords of neoplastic cells in a thick amorphous blue-purple mucinous background. The cells had small too medium sized round nuclei with coarse granular chromatin and abundant eosinophilic or bubbly cytoplasm. Some cells had pleomorphic and hyperchomatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Cytologic findings were compared to histologic findings. Histologically, areas of chondroid differentiation were noted which were absent in the cytologic smear. Immunohistochemically, both the chondroid and chordoid areas had an epithelial phenotype and stained for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen and S-100 protein. This is the first case of cytologic findings of chondroid chordoma to our knowledge in literature.

Malignant rhabdold tumor is a distinct renal tumor in the pediatric age group. It was originally described as a rhabdomyosarcomatold variant of Wilms' tumor. However, subsequent studies fatted to confirm myogenous differentiation, so it is now considered to be a distinct and unique type of highly malignant tumor, histogenetically unrelated. Although extrarenal forms of this tumor are rare, several examples have been described in other sites, especially the liver, prostate, paravertebral area, urinary bladder and soft tissue. We experienced a case of malignant rhabdiod tumor located in the intraabdominal cavity in a 10 month-old boy. Smear of peritoneal fluid showed round, polygonal and irregular shaped cells with large nuclei, ample cytoplasm containing light pink to purple cytoplasmic inclusions, and one or a few prominent nucleoli. Immunocytochemistry revealed positivity to cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen and vimentin, and negativity to desmin and neuron-specific enolase. These distinct cytologic appearance and immunophenotypes were most consistent with a diagnosis of extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumor. The cytoplasmic inclusions were correlated with eosinophilic inclusions seen in histologic section and electron microscopy confirmed this interpretation, showing filamentous aggregations in the cytoplasms of the tumor cells.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical value in lung cancer of a combination of four serum tumor markers, haptoglobin (Hp), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron specific enolase (NSE) as well as the cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1). Materials and Methods: Serum Hp (with immune-turbidimetric method), CEA, NSE, CYFRA21-1 (with chemiluminescence method) level were assessed in 193 patients with lung cancer, 87 patients with benign lung disease and 150 healthy controls. Differences of expression were compared among groups, and joint effects of these tumor markers for the diagnosis of lung cancer were analyzed. Results: Serum tumor marker levels in patients with lung cancer were obviously higher than those with benign lung disease and normal controls (p<0.01). The sensitivities of Hp, CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 were 43.5%, 40.9%, 23.3% and 41.5%, with specificities of 90.7%, 99.2%, 97.9% and 97.9%. Four tumor markers combined together could produce a positive detection rate of 85.0%, significantly higher than that of any single test. With squamous carcinomas, the positive detection rates with Hp and CYFRA21-1 were higher than that of other markers. In the adenocarcinoma case, the positive detection rate of CEA was higher than that of other markers. For small cell carcinomas, the positive detection rate of NSE was highest. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve ($AUC^{ROC}$) of Hp in squamous carcinoma (0.805) was higher than in adenocarcinoma (0.664) and small cell carcinoma (0.665). Conclusions: Hp can be used as a new serum tumor marker for lung cancer. Combination detection of Hp, CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 could significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of lung cancer, and could be useful for pathological typing.

Objectives : To analyze the effect of retinoids on the differentiation in HNSCC xenografts. Materials and Methods : RA (20mg/kg) or 13-cis-RA (60mg/kg) was orally administered once in a day for 30 days in the xenograft model we prepared using athymic nude mice with AMCHN-4 and -6. We carried out H & E staining and immunohistochemical staining with the monoclonal antibody against involucrin and cytokeratin 10. Results : Both RA and 13-cis-RA were found to suppress the differentiation of AMC-HN-4. Interestingly, RA enhanced the differentiation of AMC-HN-6, although 13-cis RA did not exhibit any effect on the differentiation. These results suggest that in vivo effect of retinoids on the HNSCC growth and differentiation might be various. Retinoids-induced P450 in AMC-HN-6 might be one of the mechanisms to explain the reason why the retinoids exhibit various functions in the HNSCC.
