Immune checkpoint blockades including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed death-1 (PD-1), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have been emerged as a promising anticancer therapy. Several immune checkpoint blockades have been approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and have shown notable success in clinical trials for patients with advanced melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. Radiotherapy is a promising combination partner of immune checkpoint blockades due to its potent pro-immune effect. This review will cover the current issue and the future perspectives for combined with radiotherapy and immune checkpoint blockades based upon the available preclinical and clinical data.

${\beta}$-Blockers have been one of the most widely used and versatile drugs for the past half a century. A new potential for their use as anti-cancer drugs has emerged in the past few years. Various retrospective case control studies have been suggestive that use of ${\beta}$-blockers before the diagnosis of cancer could have preventive and protective effects against non-small cell lung carcinoma, melanoma, and breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. Experimental and clinical observations are still inconclusive with some inconsistent findings. However, indications are pointing toward a positive role of some ${\beta}$-blockers against certain forms of cancers. This mini review is an effort to present the up to date published results of case-control studies and experimental findings.

Repeated column chromatographic separation of the $CH_{2}Cl_{2}$ extract of Artemisia stolonofera (Asteraceae) led to the isolation of a triterpene (I), a sesquiterpene (II), two aromatic compounds (III and IV) and a benzoquinone (V). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic means to be simiarenol (I), (1S,7S)-1 $\beta$-hydroxygermacra-4(15),5, 10(14)-triene (II), 3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-cinnamaldehyde (III), vanillin(IV) and 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (V), respectively. Among these products, compound V showed significant cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines in vitro, A549 (non small cell lung adenocarcinoma), SK-OV-3 (ovarian), SK-MEL-2 (skin melanoma), XF498 (CNS) and HCT15 (colon) with ED_{50}$ values ranging from 1.33~4.22${\mu}g/ml$.

The methanol extract from seed of Myristica fragrans (Myristicaceae) demonstrated a potent inhibition on the pro-liferation of cultured human tumor cells such as A549 (non small cell lung), SK-OV-3 (ovary), SK-MEL-2 (melanoma), XF498 (central nerve system) and HCT-15 (colon) in vitro. By the continuous effort to purify the active components responsible far the anti-proliferative effect on tumor cell lines, we have isolated eleven kinds of lignan components, i. e., safrole (1), machilin A (2), licarin B (3), macelignan (4), mere-dihydroguaiaretic acid (5), mγnstargenol A (6), methoxyeugenol (7), machilin F (8), licarin A (9), nectandrin B (10), and 2-(4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-ol (11) together with a novel furan fatty acid, (E)-3-(3-methyl-5-pentylfuran-2-yl) acrylic acid (12) from seed extract of M. fragrans. Chemical structures of the isolated components (1-12) were established bγ the aid of NMR spectroscopic analyses, i. e., COSY HMQC and HMBC. Each of the Isolates demonstrated a potent inhibition on the proliferation of cultured human tumor cells such as A549 (non small cell lung), SK-OY-3 (ovary), SK-MEL-2 (melanoma) and HCT-15 (colon) in vitro.

한국 전통약주의 암세포주에 대한 세포독성과 체내에서의 암세포 성장 및 전이에 대한 영향을 조사하기 위하여 무증자 발효 방법으로 발효시킨 전형적인 약주(전통약주II)와 이 약주에 한약재를 첨가하여 발효한 것(전통약주I), 비교 시료로 일본 청주에 대하여 연구하였다. 각 시료를 동결건조하고 증류수로 재용해하여 실험에 사용하였는데 암세포주에 대한 세포독성 실험 결과 B16BL6 mouse melanoma 세포에 대하여 전통약주는 2종류 모두 본래 농도의 16배 미만의 희석 배수에서 세포독성을 나타냈으며, 일본 청주는 8배 미만의 희석배수에서 나타냈다. HRT18 human colon adenocarcinoma 세포에 대한 독성은 비교적 B16BL6 세포의 경우 보다 모두 낮았다. 일상적인 음용 범위 내에서 모든 시료들의 세포에 대한 직접적인 독성은 미약하였으나, 낮은 희석배수에서도 대상 세포들의 형태가 변화하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 각 시료들의 항암효과를 조사하기 위하여, B16BL6 세포를 이용하여 체내에서의 암세포 성장 및 전이를 분석하였다. 암세포를 마우스의 발바닥에 피하접종하고 시료를 섭취시켜 암세포의 성장과 전이를 조사한 결과 일본 청주에 비교하여 전통약주I과 전통약주II 섭취 군에서 높은 암세포 성장을 억제하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 특히 전통약주I은 암의 전이 억제에 뚜렷한 효과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 이러한 항암효과는 전통약주의 어떤 성분이 직접적으로 암세포에 작용하기보다는 면역세포 등을 포함한 여러 다른 세포의 성장과 분화에 작용하여 간접적으로 항암효과를 나타내는 것으로 판단되었다.이내에는 소비하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다..3{\sim}11.9%$ 였으며 기온은 $4.3{\sim}6.5^{\circ}C$낮았다. 또한 지온은 5월에서 8월까지 $17.5{\sim}20.1^{\circ}C$로 경과되어 외기기온의 $25.1{\sim}30.8^{\circ}C$에 비하여 낮았으나 변화폭이 작았다.ol, cis-3-hexenol, trans-2-hexanol 등(等)이 높은 함양(含量)을 보였다. 유기물(有機物) 종류간(種類間)에는 침엽수(針葉樹)/이끼 퇴비(堆肥)에서 주요(主要) 향기성분(香氣成分)인 1-hexanol이 78.62, cis-3-hexenol이 36.65. trans-2-hexanol이 120.41 peak area%를 나타내었으며 이는 향기(香氣)가 높은 자생지(自生地) 토양(土壤)의 1-hexanol이 74.47, cis-3-hexenol이 44.21, trans-2-hexanol이 147.33 peak area%인 것과 유사(類似)하게 높았다.tarrow}6$보다 $4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$의 결합방식이, 그리고 procyanidin 류에서는 gallate를 갖는 물질이 이를 함유하지 많은 물질보다 더욱 높은 ACE의 저해효과를 나타내었으며, 또한 hydroxyl 기가 많을수록 효소 저해효과도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 chocolate의 주원료인 cacao bean의 polyphenol 성분 또한 녹차 등에서 볼 수 있는 생리활성효과에 손색없는

Metabolic syndrome has become quite prevalent within our society. Over the past two decades, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome has sharply increased worldwide and it has become a major public health problem in several countries. It is associated with the global epidemic of obesity and diabetes mellitus and imposes numerous cardiovascular risks. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, surpassed only by non-melanoma skin cancer. A considerable body of evidence exists suggesting that some components of the metabolic syndrome have been associated with the risk of prostate cancer. These components include obesity, an abdominal fat distribution, and hyperinsulinemia. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most widely used therapeutic modality in prostate cancer. It changed the body composition and lipid profile of men with prostate cancer. Androgen deficiency is associated with increased levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, increased production of proinflammatory factors, and increased thickness of the arterial wall and contributes to endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this review is to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and prostate cancer and to discuss the implications of androgen deficiency in men with cardiovascular risk factors. A comprehensive literature search was carried out with the use of PubMed from 1980 through 2011, and relevant articles pertinent to metabolic syndrome and prostate cancer are evaluated and discussed.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma(ALCL) is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL) populated with anaplastic, often bizarre cells that express CD30 (Ki-1) antigen. The unusual histologic and cytologic features may cause confusion with other neoplasms, such as poorly differentiated carcinoma, melanoma, Hodgkin's disease, or true histiocytic lymphoma. Although the cytologic features of ALCL have been well described, there are few reports about cytologic findings of the sarcomatold variant of ALCL. We experienced a case of fine needle aspiration(FNA) cytologic findings of ALCL which mimicks malignant fibrous histiocytoma. FNA cytology of chest wall mass in a 62-year-old female with a history of peripheral T-cell lymphoma(Lennert lymphoma) revealed a heterogeneous population of single cells and poorly cohesive cells with large, pleomorphic nuclei and spindle cells gathering around vascular structures within an inflammatory background. Additional features of the neoplastic cells were eccentric, multilobated nuclei with occasional 'wreath-like' configuration; abundant cytoplasm with vacuolization; and prominent nucleoli. The cytologic features suggested sarcoma, especially malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was made retrospectively with an aid of immunocytochemical staining.
