10년령의 암컷 collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu)가 후복부의 종양을 주증으로 내원하였다. 신체 검사상에서, 우측 하복부에 위치하고 있는 단단하고 고정되어있지 않는 종양 (15 ${\times}$ 9 cm)이 확인되었다. 흉부 방사선 검사 상에서 경계가 명확한 결절이 관찰되었으며, 이는 폐 전이 소견으로 보여졌다. 본 증례는 조직검사와 면역조직검사를 통하여 폐 전이를 동반한 유선 편평 세포 선암종으로 진단되었다. 야생 동물에서, 유선 편평 세포 암종은 매우 드문 유선 종양이다. 페커리는 진단 한달 후에 폐사하였다. 본 증례 보고는 페커리에서 처음 보고되는 유선 종양 케이스이며 두번째로 보고되는 폐 전이성 선암종이다.

The coexistence of pneumothorax and pneumopericardium in patients with primary lung cancer is a very rare phenomenon. We report one such case, in which squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was complicated by pneumopericardium and pneumothorax. Several explanations of the mechanisms involved will be discussed.

Bronchogenic carcinoma involving the carina has remained a challenging problem for thoracic surgeons. Carinal resection and reconstruction is limitedly indicated because this aggressive surgical approach has been reported to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality while long-term outcome has not been determined. Wesuccessfully performed carinal reconstruction and sleeve right upper lobectomy assisted with ECMO for a 60-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma in the right upper lobe extending to the carina.

Lung cancer is one of high mortality malignancy. It is known that skin metastasis from lung cancer is uncommon. We report a very rare case of finger tip metastasis from double primary cancer of the lung and lower lip. A 79 year-old man diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer presented with protruding solid mass in his lower lip. It showed central necrosis with purulent discharge. It had appeared rapidly growing features. Simultaneously, another solid mass accompanying painful swelling without skin lesion was found in his left middle finger tip. Both two solid masses were moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas. Lower lip mass was a primary cancer, while middle finger tip mass was diagnosed with clinically metastatic cancer from lung or lower lip, which means that it had double primary cancer origin.

연구배경 : RASSF1A는 종양억제유전자 중의 하나로 폐암을 비롯한 다양한 암에서 프로모터지역의 메틸화에 의해서 발현이 억제된다. 저자들은 편평상피폐암 환자에서 RASSF1A 메틸화가 임상 및 병리소견과 어떠한 연관성을 갖는지 조사해 보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 81예의 편평상피폐암과 정상 폐조직에서 RASSF1A 메틸화를 methylation specific PCR(MSP) 방법과 염기서열 분석방법에 의해서 실험하였고, 임상 및 병리소견과의 연관성을 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결 과 : 편평상피폐암에서 RASSF1A메틸화가 37.0%(30/81)에서 관찰되었다. RASSF1A의 메틸화는 세포분화도와 연관이 있었으며(p=0.0097), 생존율과도 연관이 있을 가능성이 있었다(p=0.0635). 그러나, RASSF1A 메틸화와 TNM 병기, 재발 유무, 임파절전이 유무, 흡연양과는 연관이 없었다. 결 론 : RASSF1A 메틸화가 편평상피폐암의 나쁜 예후와 관계 있을 것으로 생각되며, 향후 더 많은 예를 대상으로 한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Ectopic expression of $14-3-3{\zeta}$ has been found in various malignancies, including lung cancer, liver cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and so on. However, the effect of $14-3-3{\zeta}$ in the regulation of interactions between tumor cells and the immune system has not been previously reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether and how $14-3-3{\zeta}$ is implicated in tumor inflammation modulation and immune recognition evasion. In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and cancer tissues, we found that $14-3-3{\zeta}$ is overexpressed. In OSCC cells, $14-3-3{\zeta}$ knockdown resulted in the up-regulated expression of inflammatory cytokines. In contrast, $14-3-3{\zeta}$ introduction attenuated cytokine expression in human normal keratinocytes and fibroblasts stimulated with interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Furthermore, supernatants from $14-3-3{\zeta}$ knockdown OSCC cells dramatically altered the response of peritoneal macrophages, dendritic cells and tumor-specific T cells. Interestingly, Stat3 was found to directly interact with $14-3-3{\zeta}$ and its disruption relieved the inhibition induced by $14-3-3{\zeta}$ in tumor inflammation. Taken together, our studies provide evidence that $14-3-3{\zeta}$ may regulate tumor inflammation and immune response through Stat3 signaling in OSCC.

연구배경: 폐암의 병인에 기여하거나 예후를 결정하는 인자에 대해서는 매우 다양한 인자와 다양한 상호 관계로 인하여 특히 유전자의 역할에 대해서는 결정적으로 알려진 것이 없어 앞으로 더 많은 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 COX-2, MMP-9, p53가 비소세포폐암에서 어떻게 발현되는지 세포면역학적으로 알아보고 임상 특성과 예후와 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 91명의 비소세포폐암을 대상으로 하여 후향적으로 임상특성을 고찰하고 COX-2, MMP-9, p53의 유전자 표현을 세포면역학적 방법을 통하여 검사하였다. 임상특성과 유전자 표현 패턴의 상관관계와 생존에 대한 예후인자로서의 역할에 대하여 조사하였다. 결 과: 1) 편평상피세포암에서는 흡연자과 남자가 우세한 비율을 차지하였으며 남자에서 흡연의 비율이 유의하게 높았다. 2) 전체 대상 환자에서 생존에 영향을 미치는 결정적인 인자는 근치적 절제술의 시행여부와 병기로 나타났다. 3) COX-2의 발현은 편평상피세포암 보다 선암에서 더 유의하게 높게 발현되었다. 4) COX-2, MMP-9, p53의 발현이 모두 되지 않는 비율은 선암에 비해 편평상피세포암에서 더 흔하게 관찰되었다. 5) p53돌연변이가 있으면서 COX-2와 MMP-9은 발현이 되지 않는 비소세포폐암환자의 생존기간이 다른 발현 양상을 보이는 경우에서의 생존기간보다 더 연장되어 보였다(생존기간의 중앙값; 165.6주). 6) COX-2의 발현과 MMP-9의 발현 사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 7) 폐암을 근치적으로 절제한 환자의 경우에 COX-2의 발현은 유의한 예후인자였다. MMP-9는 근치적 절제술을 받지 못한 환자군에서 유의한 예후인자로 작용하였다.

Background: The resection of recurrent non-small cell lung cancer can be performed very rarely. There has been many arguments for longterm result and therapeutic role in surgical management of recurrent non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). We analyze our result of surgical re-resection of recurrent NSCLC for 10 years retrospectively. Material and Method: In the period from 1987 to 1997, 702 patients who had been confirmed for NSCLC had undergone complete resection in Seoul National University Hospital. As December 1997, 22 of these patients have been operated on the diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer. In these patients one has revealed for benign nodule at postoperative pathologic pathologic was unresectable. and two had revealed other cell type on postoperative pathologic examination. Analysis about postoperative survival rate and the factors that influence postoperative survival rate - sex, age, pathologic stage, cell type, operation adjuvant therapy after first and second operation location of recurrence disease free survival-was 59.1$\pm$10.9 year. There were 14 men and 3 women. Four patients was received radiation therpy after first opration and two patients was received postoperative chemotherapy. At first operation 2 patients was stage Ia, 8 was stage Ib, 1 was stage IIa 6 was stage IIb. Eleven patients had squamous. cell carcinoma at postoperatrive pathologic examination five had adenocarcinoma and one had bronchioalveolar carcinoma. In second operation 8 patients were received limited resection. 9 were received lobectomy or pneumonectomy. One-year survival rate was 82.4% and five-year survival rate was 58.2% Non-adjuvant therapy group after initial operation was more survived than adjuvant therapy group statistically. Conclusion: operation was more survived than adjuvant therapy group statistically. Conclusion : Operation was feasible treatment modality for re-resectable non-small cell lung cancer. But we cannot rule out possibility of double primary lung cancer for them. Postoperative prognostic factor was adjuvant therapy or nor after first oepration but further study of large scale is needed for stastically more valuable result.

A 60-year-old man was diagnosed with stage IV squamous cell carcinoma of lung and treated with weekly doses of docetaxel and cisplatin. Tumor mass and mediastinal lymphadenopathy disappeared after 4.5 cycles of chemotherapy. At one week post final chemotherapy, the patients developed sudden shortness of breath. New, multifocal infiltrations developed on both lungs without definitive evidence of infection. Despite administration of broad spectrum antibiotics, the lung lesion did not improve, so bronchoalveolar lavage and computed tomography-guided lung biopsy were performed. The proportion of lymphocytes was increased markedly and histopathology revealed squamous cell carcinoma combined with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. After high dose corticosteroid therapy, dyspnea and the newly developed consolidation had decreased slightly. However, dyspnea and hypoxemia increased again because of aggravated lung cancer since chemotherapy had stopped. Chemotherapy couldn't be restarted due to the poor performance status of the patient. Later, patient died of respiratory failure from poor general condition and progression of lung cancer.
