<P><I>Conclusion:</I> Gankyrin seems to be a better biomarker for cholesteatoma compared with Ki-67. <I>Objective:</I> Gankyrin is an oncoprotein, and occurs in cancers but not in benign diseases. The goal of this study was to compare expression of gankyrin, p53, and a proliferation marker (Ki-67) in cholesteatoma and retroauricular skin (RAS), and to evaluate their significance as clinical parameters. <I>Methods:</I> The levels of expression of gankyrin, Ki-67, and p53 in 10 cholesteatoma and 10 paired samples of normal RAS were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot. The results were compared with clinical profiles to investigate a correlation. <I>Results:</I> The expression of gankyrin, Ki-67, and p53 proteins was observed in both basal and suprabasal layers of cholesteatoma. The intensity of gankyrin expression was ‘positive’ in two cases (20%) and ‘strongly positive’ in eight cases (80%); p53 expression in the suprabasal layer was ‘positive’ in 70% of cases; and the Ki-67 staining was ‘focal’ in 80% of cases. In RAS, these proteins were expressed dominantly in the basal layer. Western blot analysis showed that the gankyrin band was more intense in cholesteatoma than in RAS for three of four cases (<I>p</I> < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the expression of gankyrin, Ki-67, and p53 according to clinical variables.</P>

박영홍,백낙환,김현찬,김상효,홍관희,김기태,이기영 인제대학교 1994 仁濟醫學 Vol.15 No.2

인체 대장암 20례와 자궁경부암 10례의 암조직을 대상으로 c-Ki-ras 유전자 codon 12와 13에서의 점돌연변이를 알아보고자 polymerase chain reaction(PCR)과 single-strand conformation polymorphism(SSCP) 검사법을 시행하였다. 대장암의 경우 20례중 9례(45%)에서, 자궁경부암의 경우 10례중 1례(10%)에서 양성으로 나왔다. 대장암에서는 codon 12에서 GGT가 TGT로의 치환이 4례로서 가장 많았으며, AGT, CGT로의 치환이 각 1례였고 codon 13에서는 GGC가 GAC로의 치환이 2례, TGC로의 치환이 1례인 것으로 나타났다. 자궁경부암의 경우 codon 12에서 GGT가 AGT로의 치환이 1례인 것으로 나타났다. In an attempt to clarify the role of genetic alteration in the genesis of human colorectal and cervical cancers, tissue specimens from 20 patients with colorectal cancer and 10 patients with cervical cancer were examined for the presence of point mutation in K-ras2 exon 1 by single strand conformation polymorphism analysis of PCR product. Exon I of c-Ki-ras2 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and comparison was made between the normal and mutated genes by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) of PCR product and nucleotide sequence analysis using asymmetric PCR with direct sequencing. Genomic DNA from white blood cells were used as normal control and those from A427 cell line were used as mutated control. 1.PCR product from A427 cell line showed a distinct migration shift pattern compared to the normal control in PAGE and the direct sequencing indicated that nucleotide sequence of codon 12 was mutated from GGT to GAT. In addition, there was a loss of normal allele in A427 cell line. 2.PCR product from 9 cases(45%) out of a 20 colon cancer patients showed migration shifts in PAGE, and all of these 9 patients invariably demonstrated mutation of ras gene, either in codon 12(6 cases:30%) or 13(3 cases:15%). The base substitutions in codon 12 were: from GGT to AGT(1), CGT(1), or TGT(4). Base changes in codon 13 were from GGC to TGC(1) or GAC(2). 3.PCR product from 1 cases(10%) out of a 10 cervical cancer patients showed migration shrifts in PAGE, Invariably demonstrated mutation of ras gene in codon 12. The base substitutions was from GGT to AGT(1) TQE incidence of point mutation of c-Ki-ras in colon cancer was high, however, it was low in cervical cancer, which showed the relation of ruts gene mutation with colon cancer. PCR -SSCP analysis is a simple, rapid and efficient method of detection of point mutation, especially when dealing with multiple samples.

Objective: This study aims to analyze that specific prognostic factors such as Ki-67 value, histologic grade, pathology type, and cancer stage can affect controlled ovarian stimulation outcomes(COS) for fertility preservation in women with breast cancer. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 92 patients with breast cancer aged 21-44 who underwent COS from August 2012 to April 2020, excluding patients with previous gonadotoxic therapy history. All COS cycles were conducted letrozole-combined random start GnRH antagonist protocol. COS outcomes were compared according to prognostic factors;Ki-67 (< 30% vs. ≥ 30%), histologic grade (low vs. high), and pathologic type (intraductal carcinoma(IDC) vs. triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)), and cancer stage (early (I, II) vs. advanced (III, IV)). Multivariate analysis was also conducted to find any parameter that can impact over 10 mature oocytes acquisition. Results: Among the 92 patients, 42 were Ki-67≥30% compared to 49 of Ki-67<30%. The number of oocytes, and initial mature oocytes were comparable between Ki-67<30% and ≥30 group. The maturation rate was significantly higher in Ki-67≥30% group than Ki-67<30% group (57.4±36.8% vs. 44.8±28.3%, p=0.041). The same results were drawn when divided according to IDC or TNBC. The maturation rate was significantly higher in TNBC than the IDC group (73.0±17.6% vs. 47.0±28.1% p=0.001). However, the histologic grade or stage did not show any difference in COS outcomes between high and low grade or early and advanced stages. With multivariate analysis, age and AMH are parameters associated with the acquisition of over 10 mature oocytes (OR 0.863, 95% CI [0.755-0.987], OR 1.408, 95% CI [1.145-1.732], respectively). Conclusion: Either Ki-67 or pathologic type can be a potential reliable marker for predicting COS outcome, especially maturation rate. Further study with larger sample size with specific conditions is necessary to clarify the correlation between breast cancer prognostic factors and COS outcomes.

비혈연간 동종골수이식은 혈연간 동종골수이식이 불가능한 환자에서 기존의 면역역제요법으로 효과가 없었던 경우나 재발한 경우에 적응증이 될수 있다. 이식 거부와 이식편대숙주병의 발생이 골수 이식의 성공률을 감소시키므로, 보다 강력한 conditioning regimen의 사용과 T cell이 제거된 골수를 사용하는 것이 필요하다. 기존의 high dose corticosteroid나 cyclosporine에 대하여 불응성인 이식편대숙주병의 치료를 위해서 ATG와 Mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept®) 의 사용이나 Tacrolimus, Methotrexate와 같은 다른 면역억제제치료를 고려해 볼 수 있다. It is known that allogenic bone marrow transplantation is the most effective treatment for aplastic anemia. However, this treatment is only applicable to a minority of patients because the proportion of patients who have HLA-matched siblings about 25% to 30% of all the aplastic anemia patients. In the case of the absence of HLA-matched donor, unrelated allogenic bone marrow transplantation is considered. However, (because of severe acute and chronic GVHD and graft failure) the success rate of this approach is only 20~30%. Recently, it was reported that increased immunosuppressive condition combined with T cell depletion of the marrow graft would result in greater success. There was no case of successfully treated aplastic anemia patient by unrelated allogenic bone marrow transplantation in Korea. Here, we report a case of severe aplastic anemia successfully treated with unrelated allogenic bone marrow transplantation.

Inhibition of protein kinase CKII activity by euchrestaflavanone B purified from Cudrania tricuspidata.

Kim, Soon-Hee,Yoon, Soo-Hyun,Lee, Byong Won,Park, Ki Hun,Kim, Young Ho,Bae, Young-Seuk Pergamon Press 2005 Oncology Research Vol.15 No.6

<P>The CKII (EC 2.7.1.37) inhibitory compound was purified from the root barks of Cudrania tricuspidata and identified as (2S)-2-[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-phenyl]-5,7-dihyroxy-6-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)chroman-4-one (euchrestaflavanone B). Euchrestaflavanone B was shown to inhibit the phosphotransferase activity of CKII with IC50 of about 78 microM. Steady-state studies revealed that euchrestaflavanone B acted as a competitive inhibitor with respect to the substrate ATP. A value of 16.4 microM was obtained for the apparent Ki. Concentration of 0.8 microM euchrestaflavanone B caused 50% growth inhibition of human cancer cells U937 and HeLa. Euchrestaflavanone B-induced cell death was characterized with the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and procaspase-3, indicating that the inhibitor triggered apoptosis. Because protein kinase CKII is involved in cell proliferation and oncogenesis, these results suggest that euchrestaflavanone B may function by inhibiting oncogenic disease, at least in part, through the inhibition of CKII activity.</P>

A 60-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of fever with chillness and anarexia for 12 weeks. Physical examination revealed supraclavicular lymphadenopathy and left inguinal lymphadenopathy. Abdominal CT scan showed the evidence of maked lymphadenopathy on retraperitoneal, external iliac, obturator, left inguinal, and celiac lymph nodes. A pathologic diagnosis of Ki-1(+) lymphoma was made by the biopsed supraclavicular lymph node because the node consisted of large cells with pleomorphic nuclei, scanty cytoplasm, large basophilic nucleoli, atypical vacuoli and large cells were positive for leukocyte common antigen, Ber-H2, marker, and B-cell marker.

부산에 소재한 3개 초등학교 청소년단체 소속의 초등하교 3학년부터 6학년까지 구성된 172명을 대상으로 청소년단체 지도자, 초등학교교사, 자원봉사자, 의사와 영양사가 1박 2일간의 해양스포츠 체험활동 을 통한 건강교실을 시행하였다. 대상자의 체질량지수, 체지방량을 측정하여 비만정도를 평가하였으며, 칼로리 섭취에 대한 강의를 시행하였고, 설문지 조사를 통해 대상자의 식이 섭취 습관에 대한 조사를 시행하였고, 본 건강교실에 대한 만족도를 측정하였다. 대상자중 남자에서는 40%, 여자에서는 25.69%에서 비만 경향을 보였다. 대상자의 대부분에서 시행된 건강교실에 긍정적 반응을 보였으며, 향후 체계적인 구성과 철저한 사전계획이 병행되어 본 증례 보고와 같은 건강교실을 시행한다면, 비만아동에서 거부감 없이 비만에 대한 교육을 실시할 수 있으며, 정상 체중 아동군에서도 비만에 대한 예방교육을 시행할 수 있는 프로그램이 될 것이다. 172 elementary school students involved this health program. This subjects were learened about obesity that affect health problem, ideal eating habits, calories that contained in the children's favorite foods by doctors and nutritionist. And this stubjects were checked heights, weight, body fat percent. Obesity is 40% in the boys and 25.69% in the girls. Most subjects were satisfactory with this health program. So we will effectively educate obese children without resistance and prevent normal weight children from obesity through structured and well-designed health program that similar to this program.

Relationship Between Biological Marker Expression and Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in Incidentally Detected Thyroid Cancer

Kim, Bo Hyun,Kim, In Joo,Kim, Sang Soo,Kim, Seong-Jang,Lee, Chang Hun,Kim, Yong-Ki Mary Ann Liebert 2010 Cancer Biotherapy & Radiopharmaceuticals Vol.25 No.3

<P>The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms associated with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) uptake in an incidentally detected thyroid cancer during nonthyroid cancer evaluation. Among 92 patients (10 men and 82 women; mean age, 56.2 +/- 10.9 years; age range, 26-78 years) with focal thyroid FDG uptake during nonthyroid cancer evaluation, 14 patients with cytologically confirmed papillary thyroid cancer were included. For semiquantitative analysis, the maximal standardized uptake value was calculated. Immunohistochemical studies were performed for hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1alpha), HIF2alpha, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), GLUT3, carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX), hexokinase type II (HK II), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The significant findings of this study were as follows: (1) a lack of HIF1alpha and HIF2alpha expression; (2) low-degree expression of GLUT1 (1 patient), GLUT3 (5 of 14 patients), HK II (3 of 14 patients), and CA-IX (1 patient); and (3) high degree expression of VEGF (all 14 patients). The data presented in this study indicate that F-18 FDG uptake in incidentally detected thyroid cancer was not related to hypoxia-induced upregulation of GLUT1, GLUT3, CA-IX, and HK II. Ki-67 expression was not associated with F-18 FDG uptake. However, all incidentally detected thyroid cancers showed a high degree of expression of VEGF.</P>
