Purpose: There have been limited reports on breast reconstruction after excision of phyllodes tumor. This paper reports four patients who had immediate reconstruction of the breast following excision of phyllodes tumor. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 14 patients from March 2000 to March 2008. Clinical data were analyzed including age, presenting symptoms and signs, type of surgery and metastasis. Results: The mean age was 38.6 years. The mean follow-up period was 40.6 months. Reconstruction was performed with latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in 3 patients and transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap in 1 patient. Other cases were covered with skin graft or primary repair. 2 local recurrent cases were noted. Conclusion: The breast affected by phyllodes tumor must undergo complete excision. Followed by mastectomy, immediate reconstruction of breast improved cosmetic results, and allowed a wider surgical excision margin of tumor.

Human ovarian cancerous cells survive in a way that they trigger the nucleotide excision repair (NER) or double-strand DNA repair (dsDNA) repair mechanism to show resistance to anticancer drugs and activate many kinds of repair protein, thus removing damaged DNAs. Two experiments on the PA-1 human ovarian teratocareinoma cell line that hardly has any expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were conducted in the study; first, EGF-R was transfected and its receptor was obtained. The receptor was investigated in terms of its mutual relations with many kinds of protein concerning NER or dsDNA repair. Second, it was examined what kind impact cisplatin and adriamycin had on the effects of EGF-R over the PA-1 cell line lacking EGF-R. When being administered with cisplatin and adriamycin, Hey and Hey C2 cell lines showed a high level of resistance while PA-1 cell line a high level of sensitivity. Hey and Hey C2 cell lines that are resistant against anticancer drugs exhibited a high level of EGF-R expression while PA-1 cell line that is sensitive to them did a much lower level of the expression. When PA-1 cell line was transfected for the expression of DNA adduct and EGF-R, it showed a higher level of resistance compared to the control group. There was no difference in the expression of DNA repair proteins (DNA- dependent protein kinase, Ku70, and Ku80) between Hey and the PA-1 cell lines. The results indicate that the Hey cell line that is resistant against cisplatin and adriamycin works along the signaling system responding to the changes of EGF-R while the PA-1 cell line that is sensitive to both of them does to the lack of EGF-R.

본 연구는 출아형 효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 자외선의 상해 시 이를 정상으로 회복시키는 절제회복 (excision repair) 유전자로 알려진 RADA4의 특성 규명을 위하여 균류 Coprinus cinereus에서 이와 유사한 유전자를 분리하였다. RAD4 유사 유전자를 분리하기 위하여 균류 C. cinereus의 염색체 DNA를 전기영동하여 분리한 다음 효모 RAD4 DNA를 probe로하여 이와 hybridization하였다. 이 결과 RAD4 유사 유전자는 3.2 kb의 insert DNA를 갖고 있었다. 또한 Southern hybridization으로 이 유사 유전자는 fungus C. cinereus의 염색체에 존재함을 확인하였다. 분리한 RAD4 유사 유전자의 전사체 크기는 2.5 kb 였으며, 자외선의 상해 시 전혀 'inducibility가 없음을 Northern hybridization으로 확인하였다. 또한 유사유전자 부분을 삭제하였을 때 이 부분이 없는 세포는 전혀 생존을 못하였다. 이 결과 분리한 RAD4 유사유전자는 세포의 생존에 관여함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on healing of impaired wound and alteration of mast cells in experimental diabetic rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: excision (Ex), excision-LED irradiation (Ex-LED), diabetes + excision (DM) and diabetes + excision + LED irradiation (DM-LED). Diabetes was induced in rats by streptozotocin (STZ) injection (70 mg/kg, single dose) and 6 mm punch excision wounds were created on the back after shaving hair. The LED-irradiated rats were treated to a daily dose of $5\;J/cm^2$ LED (630 nm) light for 11 days after surgery, and were killed at day 1, 3, 7 and 11. The lesion and adjacent skin tissues were excised, fixed with 10% buffered formalin and embedded with paraffin. For evaluation of wound healing, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson trichrome staining were performed. Mast cells (MCs) were stained with toluidine blue (pH 0.5) and quantified using a computerized image analysis system. The proliferation activity of keratinocyte in skin tissues was analyzed on sections immunostained with proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The results showed that wound healing rate, collagen density and neo-epidermis length, number of PCNA-positive cells, fibroblasts and mast cells were significantly higher in the LED-irradiated rats than in the DM and Ex rats throughout the periods of experiment. Exceptionally, the number of MCs was significantly lower at day 11 compared with day 7 after surgery in the all groups. These findings suggest that the LED irradiation may promote the tissue repair process by accelerating keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production in normal rats as well as in diabetic rats, and MCs may play an important role at an early stage of skin wound healing in normal and diabetic rats.

Background: Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence individual variation in DNA repair capacity, which may be associated with risk of developing cancer. For colorectal cancer the importance of mutations in mismatch repair genes has been extensively documented. Materials and Methods: In this study we focused on the Arg194Trp polymorphism of the DNA repair gene XRCC1, involved in base excision repair (BER) and its role in colorectal cancer in Kashmiri population. A case-control study was conducted including 100 cases of colorectal cancer, and 100 hospital-based age- and sex-matched healthy controls to examine the role of XRCC1 genetic polymorphisms in the context of colorectal cancer risk for the Kashmiri population. Results: Genotype analysis of XRCC1 Arg194Trp was conducted with a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. The overall association between the XRCC1 polymorphism and the CRC cases was found to be significant (p < 0.05) with both the heterozygous genotype (Arg/Trp) as well as homozygous variant genotype (Trp/Trp) being moderately associated with the elevated risk for CRC [OR=2.01 (95% CI=1.03-3.94) and OR=5.2(95% CI=1.42-19.5)] respectively. Conclusions: Our results suggest an increased risk for CRC in individuals with XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism suggesting BER repair pathway modulates the risk of developing colorectal cancer in the Kashmiri population.

Between March 1989 and December 1994, one-stage repair was performed for correction of the intracardiac malformations associated with aortic coarctation in 34 patients or interrupted aortic arch in 8 patients via median sternotomy. There were 26 male and 16 female patients, and their body weight ranged from 1.8 to 8 kg [mean weight, 4.0 1.4 kg . The age at the operation ranged from 7 days to 18 months [mean age, 3.1 $\pm$ 3.8 months . The repair of aortic coarctation or interrupted aortic arch was performed using extended end-to-end anastomosis in most of the patients [86%, 36/42 , and six patients underwent ductal tissue excision and patch aortoplasty. Intracardiac defects were corrected concomitantly through the right atrium unless the anatomy dictated otherwise. Obstructive outlet septum was resected whenever necessary. There were seven early deaths [16.8 % , and three late deaths with a mean follow-up period of 25 months [range from 1 to 65 months . Three patients were reoperated upon residual subaortic stenosis, stenosis at the RPA origin, and subacute bacterial endocarditis respectively. None showed any significant residual or anastomotic stenosis postoperatively. One stage repair of the aortic coarctation and interrupted aortic arch associated with intracardiac defect leaves no native coarctation shelf tissue or residual hypoplasia in the repaired segment, has low incidence of recurrent or residual stenosis, minimizes reoperation and incisions, and manages arch hypoplasia easily. We concluded that surgical results of one-stage repair for the intracardiac malformation associated with aortic coarctation or interrupted aortic arch are reasonable.

HeLa $S_3$세포에서 MMC에 의해 유발된 DNA회복합성은 농도$(0.05\\sim 0.5\\mu g/ml)$에 따른 증가를 보이지 않고 그 율도 비\ulcorner적 낮아 $0.1\\sim 0.5\\mu g/ml$ 농도에서 조사한 전 세포의 $7\\sim 9%$를 나타내고 있다. 시간 변화에 따른 실험에서는 MMC를 제거한 후 24시간까지 거의 비슷한 율로 DNA회복합성이 계속되고 있다. thymidine 상사체중 BUdR을 전처리한 군에서만이 MMC에 의한 DNA회복합성을 증가시켰다. 그러나 BUdR 또는 IUdR과 MMC를 복합처리 할 경우 시간경과에 따라 정상 DNA합성은 감소된다. 이들 결과는 MMC에 의해 유발된 DNA손상은 빠르고 느린 두단계로 회복됨을 암시하는 것이라 생각된다.

Hrq1은 곰팡이 유전체에서 생물정보분석에 의해 발견된 새로운 RecQ helicase이다. 이 단백질은 인간의 RECQL4와 가장 상동성이 높으며 최근의 유전학적 생화학적 연구를 통해서 유전체 안정성을 유지하는데 어떤 역할을 할 것으로 예상되었다. 본 연구에서는 RECQL4와 상호작용하는 것으로 알려진 인간 유전자들과 상동성이 있는 효모 유전자들이 Hrq1과 상호작용하는지를 yeast two-hybrid assay를 이용하여 조사하였다. 총 11개의 유전자를 조사한 결과, nucleotide excision repair (NER) 인자 중의 하나인 Rad14이 Hrq1과 상호작용하는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 정제한 단백질을 이용한 pull-down assay로 Hrq1과 Rad14 사이의 직접적인 상호작용을 확인하였다. Hrq1과 Rad14 사이의 yeast two-hybrid 상호작용은 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide에 의한 DNA 손상으로 더욱 증가하였으며, 이러한 상호작용의 증가는 또 다른 NER 인자인 Rad4에 의존적이었다. 이러한 결과들은 Hrq1이 Rad14과의 상호작용을 통하여 NER 과정에 어떤 역할을 할 가능성을 제시하고 있다.
