췌장의 고형 유두상 상피종양의 임상 병리학적 특징을 분석하고 면역조직화학적 및 전자현미경적 소견을 바탕으로 종양세포의 기원을 살펴보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 1990년부터 1996년까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 체장의 고형 유두상 상피종양으로 진단받은 8례를 대상으로 임상병리학적 특정의 분석과 면역조직화학적 및 전자현미경적 검색을 시행하였다. 8례 모두 여성이었고 연령은 21세에서 54세 사이였고 평균연령은 34세였다. 종양의 위치는 미부(4례), 체부-미부(2례), 체부(1례), 두부(1례)에 각각 발생하였다. 육안적으로 고형성 부위, 출혈과 낭성 변화가 혼합된 피막을 가진 종괴로 평균 크기는 9.3cm였고, 조직학적으로 원형 내지 다각형의 균일한 종양세포가 판상 혹은 유두상 배열을 보였다. 변역조직화학 염색에서 8례(100%)가 ${\alpha}1$-antitrypsin에 양성이었고, 7례(87.5%)가 cytokeratin, 7례 (87.5%)가 progesterone 수용체, 6례(75%)가 vimentin, 그리고 1례 (12.5%)가 synaptophysin에 각각 양성이었다. Estrogen 수용체에 대하여는 전예가 음성 반응을 보였다. 전자현미경 소견상 종양세포의 세포질에는 미토콘드리아가 풍부하였고 효소원 과립과 환충판이 관찰되었고 인접한 세포들 사이에 소관 구조를 닮은 간극이 관찰되어 췌장의 고형 유두상 상피종양은 전능 간세포(totipotent stem cell)에서 기원할 것으로 생각된다.

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.

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.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of promoted skin wound healing in skin defects with primary cultured oral mucosal keratinocytes. Materials and methods: Thirty adult female nude mice weighing $20{\pm}2g$ were used for the experiment. Primary cultured and suspended oral mucosal keratinocytes, labeled with BrdU, were scattered onto $1.5cm{\times}1.5cm$ sized full thickness skin defects in the experimental group(N=15), and no grafts were placed the control group(N=15). They were sacrificed at 3 days, 1 week and 2 weeks after the treatment respectively. Histological examination of each wounds were performed to review the healing progress on measuring the length from the wound margin to regenerating epithelial front. The role of keratinocytes were assessed by double immunohistochemical staining with Anti-BrdU and Anti-cytokeratin AE1/3. Results: In the experimental group the wound was completely covered with regenerating epithelia in 2 weeks, but partially regenerated in the control group. The immunohistochemical studies unexpectedly reveal that most of regenerating epithelial cells were induced from marginal epithelium of the margin, not from the scattered keratinocytes. Conclusion: We could successfully confirm that graft of primary cultured oral mucosal keratinocytes promotes the regeneration of skin defects.

Background: The object of this study was to examine whether a new protocol including step-sectioning and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of axillary sentinel nodes (SN) would lead to detection of more metastases in patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: Sixty-nine tumor free sentinel lymph nodes were examined. Step frozen sectioning was performed on formalin fixed SN and stained both by hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) and cytokeratin markers using IHC. Any tumoral cell in IHC stained slides were considered as a positive result. Metastases up to 0.2 mm were considered as isolated tumor cells and 0.2 up to 2 mm as micrometastasis. Results: Mean age of the patients was $48.7{\pm}12.2$ years. Step sectioning of the SN revealed 11 involved by metastasis which was statistically significant (p<0.001). Furthermore, 15 (21.7%) of the patients revealed positive results in IHC staining for pan-CK marker and this was also statistically significant (p=0.001). Ten patients had tumoral involvement in lymph nodes harvested from axillary dissection and 4 out of 15 lymph nodes with positive result for CK marker were isolated tumor cells. However, 4 of 10 patients with tumor positive lymph nodes in axillary dissection were negative for CK marker and in contrast 6 of the pan-CK positive SN were in patients with tumor-free axillary lymph nodes. Conclusions: Both IHC and step sectioning improve the detection rate of metastases. Considering the similar power of these two methods, we recommend using either IHC staining or step sectioning for better evaluation of harvested SNs.

종양의 조직학적 형태에 따라 또 같은 조직의 종양에서도 각 환자에 따라 방사선 치료에 대한 반응 정도에는 많은 차이가 관찰된다. 이러한 방사선 감수성을 예측하는 한 방법으로 각 환자에서 떼어낸 종양조직을 일차 배양하여 방사선 조사에 의한 세포 생존 곡선을 구한뒤 2Gy에서의 생존(SF2)을 얻었다. 방사선 치료가 계획된 두경부 종양과 자궁경부암 환자의 종양 조직을 얻어 기계적인 방법으로 미세절편으로 만든 후 collagenase type IV와 2시간 배양하여 단일 종양세포 혼탁액을 얻었다. Cell adhesive matix로 전처리된 24 well plate에 각 well당 일정수의 세포를 넣어 24시간 배양한뒤 각 열에 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. 6Gy의 방사선을 조사하였다. 13일간 배양후 crystal violet으로 염색한뒤 image analysis system을 이용하여 각 well의 광학밀도를 측정하여 세포 생존을 구한다. Linear quadratic model에 의한 생존 곡선을 얻은 뒤 2Gy에서의 생존율을 구하였다. 배양된 세포가 편평상 피암세포임을 확인하기 위하여 cytokeratin과 epithelial monoclonal 항체를 이용한 Immunocytochemical 염색을 하여 형광 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 5명의 두경부종양 환자와 20명의 자궁경부암 환자의 종양조직을 얻어 실험하여 15명(60$ \% $) 종양의 2Gy 생존을 얻는데 성공하였다. 10명의 일차 배양 실패의 원인은 단일 종양세포 혼탁액에 종양세포가 너무 적었거나 세포 이식후 배양이 잘 자라지 않은 것으로 판정되었다. 15편평 상피암 세포의 SF2의 평균은 0.55$\pm$0.17이었으며 범위는 0.20에서 0.79까지로 같은 편평상피암이라도 각 환자에 따라 SF2 간에 큰 차이를 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상에서 같은 부위에 생긴 같은 조직 유형의 종양이라도 각 환자마다 SF2 값의 차이가 큰 것으로 보아 방사선 치료의 효과를 예측할 수 있는 한 인자로 SF2 값을 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid(RA) on the development of cholangiocarcinoma in hamsters. Eighty six female Syrian golden hamsters were divided into four groups. Group I was for the induction of the cholangiocarcinoma, which was infected orally with C sinensis and given dimethylnitrosamine(DMN, 15ppm) in drinking water for 4 weeks. Group II was for evaluating the effect of all-trans RA treatment on the cholangiocarcinogenesis, which was treated the same as group I and orally given RA(1mg/kg, 5 times per week) for 15 weeks. Group III was given only RA hr 15 weeks. Control group IV was given only soybean oil which was solvent for RA treatment. More than 5 heads of hamsters in each group were sacrificed at 4, 7, 11 and 15 weeks after the begining of the experiment. The livers were examined grossly, histopathologically, and immunohistochemically. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Death of animals started from the 11 weeks after the begining of the experiment. One of the total 22 animals(5%) and 7 of the total 24 animals(29%) died in group I and group II, respectively. 2. Proliferation of oval cell was peaked at 11 weeks in group I and at 7 weeks in group II, and decreased gradually after those periods of the time. 3. Cholangiocarcinomas were found in 1 of 6 animals(17%) at 11 weeks and in 4 of 6 animals(67%) at 15 weeks in group I, respectively. But in group II, the cholangiocarcinomas occured in 1 of 5 animals(20%) at 7 weeks, in 7 of 12 animals(58%) at 11 weeks and in 2 of the rest animals(100%) at 15 weeks, respectively. 4. Expression of $\alpha$-fetoprotein(AFP) of the oval cells in the group II showed the same degree of positive reaction at that of group I at 4 weeks. But AFP postive oval cells decreased gradually and AFP negative oval cells(ductlike oval cells) increased gradually. 5. Expression of cytokeratin of the oval cells in group II was shown slightly at 4 weeks and the degree of expression increased moderately from the 7 weeks. But the expression of the oval cells in group I was shown slightly after the 7 weeks. These results suggested that all-trans RA promoted the occurrence and the rate of cholangiocarcinoma by inducing differentiation of small cells and oval cells in the liver of hamsters infected with C sinensis and treated with DMN.

Ki-1 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a newly described high-grade lymphoma and is defined by histopathological and immunologic criteria. We experienced a case of systemically involving Ki-1 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma in a 44 year-old female which initially manifested as pleural effusion. Abdominopelvic CT scan showed the evidence of marked lymphadenopathy in retroperitoneal and both external and inguinal lymph nodes. On cytologic examination of pleural fluid, tumor cells revealed pleomorphic large isolated cells with prominent nucleoli and abundant cytoplasms. The nuclei were large with irregular profiles including some deep invaginations. Also, occasional multilobed/multinucleated and binucleated nuclei were seen. Immunohistochemical examination was performed to differentiate from the undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and malignant histiocytosis. The neoplastic cells were positive for leukocyte common antigen, CD3, CD30(Ki-1) but negative for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, and CD15. A histologic diagnosis of Ki-1 positive anaplastic lymphoma was made by biopsies of the inguinal lymph node, polypoid lesions of the stomach and cecum.

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.

Purpose: As UBC IRMA is being tested, patients out of the reference value are reacting within the value again a few days later the urine collection tested, which causes the reliability of the test to decrease as a result. In this study, we can assume that the physiological changes in the factors would affect the results. The purpose of the study is to find out whether hematuria and proteinuria in the sample as well as the interval time (3 hours or more recommended) have affected the results. As a result, we could discover the changes in factors and increase the reliability of the test. Materials and Methods: 468 people (female: 249, male: 219) who came for the check-up were presented herein for medical examination from 2013.3.15 to 2013.1.2. Some people out of 468 who have reacted onto the reference value were divided into group low titer zone, ow-middle titer zone, and middle-high titer zone and tested for hematuria and proteinuria. During that period, 48 outpatients were asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding the urination interval time. The reagents used were (IDL Biotech AB, Sweden) and UBC IRMA. Results: Of the patients that are formed in the reference value of ($0.1-34.0{\mu}g/L$) turn out to be 52.7 years average age in their low concentration, ($mean{\pm}SD$) of the value of $0.10{\pm}0.02{\mu}g/L$. Among 80 people (50.8%, female: 49.2%), 16 patients (20%) have shown reaction to microscopic hematuria and 10 patients (12.5%) responded to proteinuria. In the average low concentration under 52.5 years of average age, 43 people (53%) have shown reaction to microscopic hematuria and 21 people (26.3%) are proteinuric patients out of 80 patients (male: 50.8%, female: 51.3%). In the middle high concentration of $11.8{\pm}4.82{\mu}g/L$ under the average age 51.7 years, 35 patients (53%) have responded to the microscopic hematuria and proteinuric patients are 26 people (39.3%) out of 66 people (men: 44%, women: 56%). In addition, in the concentration of $51.7{\pm}43.5{\mu}g/L$, some patients who get out of the reference value are observed as the average age of 52.0. 11 patients (78.6%) out of 14 (male: 35.7%, female: 64.3%) react to the microscopic hematuria. There show 6 people (42.8%) who turn out to be as proteinuric patients. As for the interval time, $1.67{\pm}3.71{\mu}g/L$ was the average value among 48 patients (female: 45.8%, male: 54.2%). Conclusion: We cannot see if proteinuria and hematuria directly affect abnormal results of inspection of 8,18 cytokeratin; however, we can find out that they statistically have an influence on highly generating UBC among several mechanisms. Also, although urination interval time was various every 15 minutes, we it does not affect these results.
