This study is aimed to investigate the effects of intravenous Cultivated Wild Ginseng Pharmacopuncture(CWGP) and the FOLFIRI chemotherapy combination on recurred and metastatic ascending colon cancer patient. A 42-years-old man was diagnosed as ascending colon adenocarcinoma on 9th Mar. 2011. After performing right hemicolectomy and 12 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy recurrence at hemicolectomy site and metastases in liver, spleen and lungs were found on 7th Feb. 2012. Intravenous CWGP were performed during total 12 cycles of FOLFIRI chemotherapy from 3rd Mar. 2012 to 27th Sep. 2012. The effects and toxicities of CWGP and FOLFIRI chemotherapy combination were evaluated with PET torso(AA) and National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria. The tumor mass in the splenic hilum and liver S4 was disappeared and multiple pulmonic lymph nodules were decreased in size. The recurred lesion on the site of right hemicolectomy showed no changes. During the treatment the patient had no toxicity over grade 1.

Background: Dendritic cell (DC)-based tumor vaccine is an attractive modality for the treatment of colon cancer because it has been recurred and produced few side effects in patients. Secretory glycoprotein 90K has been found at elevated level in various cancer tissues and sera. We investigated to establish a more effective DC vaccine for the treatment of colon cancer in which the levels of 90K are elevated. Methods: We obtained the concentrated 90K from 293T cells stably expressing 90K. DCs were cultured from peripheral blood monocytes, and a DC vaccine pulsed with tumor lysate was compared with a DC vaccine pulsed with 90K. We measured the functional activity for CTLs by using IFN-${\gamma}$-enzyme linked immunoabsorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay. Results: DCs pulsed with tumor lysate+90K exhibited the enhanced T cell stimulation, polarization of $\ddot{i}$ T cell toward Th1. The CTLs generated by DCs pulsed with 90K efficiently lysed HCT116 cells. The results indicate that 90K-speicifc-CTLs can recognize 90K proteins naturally presented by colon cancer cells. Conclusion: Our study suggests that 90K-specific CTLs generated by 90K-pulsed DCs could be useful effector cells for immunotherapy in colon cancer.

목 적 : 신경내분비종양 진단에 대한 I-123 MIBG 스캔의 4시간 조기 영상과 SPECT 영상의 임상적 유용성을 평가하고자 시행하였다. 대상과 방법 : CT 또는 MRI를 시행하여 신경내분비종양이 의심되었던 21예를 대상으로 I-123 MIBG 스캔을 시행하였으며 4시간에 전신 평면 영상과 SPECT 영상을 얻고, 17예에서는 12-24시간 사이에 지연 평면 영상도 얻었다. 결 과 : 21예중 12예에서 신경내분비종양으로 확진되었고, 4시간 I-123 MIBG 스캔의 진단적 예민도는 75%, 특이도는 89%였다. SPECT 영상은 CT나 MRI와의 비교 분석에 용이하였다. 지연 영상은 일부 진양성을 소견을 보인 예에서 종양 대 배후 방사능의 비가 증가하여 병변 확인에 도움이 되었으나 4시간 평면 영상과 진단율에 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : I-123 MIBG 스캔은 4시간 조기 영상으로도 신경내분비종양의 진단에 유용했으며, SPECT 영상은 다른 진단매체와의 비교 분석이 용이하였고 향후 종양의 종류에 따라 더 많은 예의 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각하였다.
