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.

목 적 : 양성 뇌수막종에 비하여 이형성 및 악성 뇌수막종이 나쁜 임상적인 예후 및 양상을 보이는 것은 잘 알려져 있으나, 양성 뇌수막종에 있어서 각각의 병리조직학적 아형에 따른 생물학적 양상의 차이에 대해서는 잘 알려지지 않거나 일부 논란이 되고있다. 본 연구에서는 이형성 뇌수막종 및 양성 뇌수막종의 각각의 병리조직학적 아형에 따른 증식능의 차이여부를 알아보고자 PCNA와 Ki-67표지지수를 분석하였다. 방 법 : 본원에서 뇌수막종으로 수술을 시행하여 얻은, 재발을 보여 재수술을 시행한 2례를 포함하여, 파라핀에 포매시킨 27개의 조직을 대상으로 병리학적인 증식능을 분석하기 위해, PCNA에 대한 단일항체 및 MIB-1 단일항체를 이용한 면역조직화학적 염색을 시행하였다. 조직학적 분류상 meningothelial type이 8례, transitional type이 9례, fibroblastic type이 5례였으며, 이형성 수막종이 5례였다. 결 과 : PCNA표지지수의 평균값은 양성 수막종에서 meningothelial type이 $4.82{\pm}5.10%$, transitional type이 $9.01{\pm}4.25%$, fibroblastic type이 $5.66{\pm}5.32%$를 보였으나 이형성 수막종에서는 $27.62{\pm}19.67%$의 높은 지수를 나타냈고, Ki-67 표지지수의 평균값은 양성 수막종의 아형에서 각각 $0.43{\pm}0.85%$, $0.44{\pm}1.08%$, $0.24{\pm}0.18%$를 보이고, 역시 이형성 수막종에서는 $0.84{\pm}0.59%$의 높은 지수를 보였다. 즉, 양성 수막종에서 각각의 아형에 따른 PCNA 및 Ki-67 표지지수는 통계학적으로 의미있는 차이는 없었으나(p>0.05), 이형성 수막종에서는 의미있는 높은 표지지수를 보여(p<0.05) 양성 수막종에서 보다 높은 증식능을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 : PCNA 및 Ki-67 표지지수를 이용한 증식능의 비교결과, 양성 뇌수막종에서는 각각의 아형에 따른 생물학적 양상이나 예후는 차이가 없을것으로 생각되나, 이형성 수막종에서는 높은 증식능을 보여 이에 대한 예후를 예상할 수 있을것으로 생각되며, 또한 이러한 표지지수가 병리조직학적으로 양성과 이형성의 감별에 많은 도움이 될것으로 사료된다. Objective : The clinical prognosis and biological behavior of atypical and especially malignant meningiomas are well known to be worse than benign meningioma, but the degree of biological aggressiveness in each classical subtypes of benign meningioma is controversy. This study was performed to see whether there is a difference in the proliferative activity between each different histological subtypes of benign meningioma as well as atypical meningioma. Methods : Paraffin-embedded surgical specimens of 27 meningiomas, including two recurrent tumors, were studied to evaluate proliferative activity by immunohistochemical method with monoclonal antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and MIB-1. The specimens consisted of 8 cases of meningothelial, 9 cases of transitional, 5 cases of fibroblastic subtypes and 5 cases of atypical meningiomas. Results : Mean PCNA labeling indices of meningothelial, transitional and fibroblastic meningiomas were $4.82{\pm}5.10%$, $9.01{\pm}4.25%$ and $5.66{\pm}5.32%$, but that of atypical meningiomas was $27.62{\pm}19.67%$, noting a higher value compared to all three subtypes of benign meningiomas. Mean Ki-67 labeling indices of the above 3 subtypes were $0.43{\pm}0.85%$, $0.44{\pm}1.08%$ and $0.24{\pm}0.18%$, and that of atypical meningiomas was also revealed to be of higher value ($0.84{\pm}0.59%$). PCNA and Ki-67 labeling indices were not statistically different between histological subtypes of benign meningioma(p>0.05), but the differences of both immunolabeling between benign and atypical meningiomas were statistically significant(p<0.05). Conclusion : Immunolabeling of PCNA and Ki-67 in intracranial meningiomas reveals no prognostic difference between meningothelial, transitional and fibroblastic subtypes in classical benign meningiomas by measuring expression of PCNA and Ki-67, but it seems to be helpful in differentiating benign and atypical meningioma, later showing more proliferative activity and biological aggressiveness.

( Eun Sun Kwon ),( Byoung Yong Koh ),( Kyung Geun Lee ),( Ki Bum Myung ),( Seung Hyun Cheong ) 대한피부과학회 2016 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.68 No.1

Giant keratoacanthoma is an uncommon variant of keratoacanthoma, which may attain the diameter of several centimeters. Although keratoacanthoma usually undergo spontaneous resolution, giant keratoacanthoma can be invasive and destructive. A 49-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of multiple large hyperkeratotic and crusted plaques and nodules on the sun exposed areas such as face, ear, hand and forearm. Some lesions were involuted spontaneoulsy, whereas other lesions were rather enlarged. The biopsy specimen revealed horn-filled crater formation, epidermal extending like a buttress and eosinophilic glassy appearance in kertinocytic cytoplasm. In immunohistochemical stain, the Ki-67 staining was restricted to the basal layer. And p16 staining occurred more diffuse pattern. We treated them with acitretin and the lesions were almost cleared after 13 weeks. Herein we describe a case of multiple giant keratoacanthoma treated with acitretin.

Eun‑Joon Chun,Sung‑Sang Lim,Young‑Tae Kim,Ki‑Sung Nam,김영민,Young‑Whan Park,Siva Prasad Murugan,Yeong‑Do Park 대한금속·재료학회 2019 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.25 No.1

Resistance nut projection weldability of Al–Si coated hot stamped steel (HSS) was investigated under the viewpoint of weldablecurrent range and joint strength (pull-out load). The microstructural inhomogeneities in the welds were also studied inorder to elucidate the factors affecting the joint strength of the welds. The weldability of the given Al–Si coated HSS wascompared with the weldability of an identical HSS without the Al–Si coating (Al–Si coating was polished out) and Zn coateddual phase steel. The weldable current range of Al–Si coated HSS was found to be narrower than that of the other materials. Furthermore, the average pull-out load within the weldable current range of the Al–Si coated HSS was the lowest among thethree materials. The reason for poor weld mechanical property of the Al–Si coated hot-stamped steel was attributed to themicrostructural inhomogeneities such as unmixed Al–Si coating layer at the edge of the nugget and the second phase Fe3(Al,Si) intermetallic compound. The formation of Fe3(Al, Si) phase was attributed to the solidification segregation of Al and Siduring the weld solidification and was confirmed with the numerical analysis of solidification segregation.

( Eun Sun Kwon ),( Byoung Yong Koh ),( Kyong Geun Lee ),( Ki Bum Myung ),( Seung Hyun Cheong ) 대한피부과학회 2016 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.68 No.1

Dermatofibroma is a common benign skin tumor that usually occurs as small, firm and red to brown solitary or multiple nodules on the lower extremities. In addition to the lower extremities, it can be observed anywhere. But the involvement of palm or sole is rare. Dermatofibroma has various histologic variants. In these variants, cellular fibrous histiocyma is relatively rare and histopathologically exhibits the densely cellular tumor with a fascicular to storiform growth pattern. A 40-year-old man presented with a solitary firm and reddish nodule on the left palm. The biopsy specimen revealed a nodular tumor that composed of spindle cells, histiocytes and collagen bundles. Immunohistochemical stain showed negative for CD 34, S-100 and CK, diffused positive for vimentin and weakly positive for CD68. Also Ki-67 staining showed less than 5% positive reactivity. Herein we describe a case of cellular fibrous histiocytoma on the palm.

Bowen`s disease originated from verruca

( Eun Sun Kwon ),( Byoung Yong Koh ),( Ki Bum Myung ),( Seung ),( Hyun Cheong ) 대한피부과학회 2015 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.67 No.1

Bowen’s disease is a precancerous condition that has the potential to progress to squamous cell carcinoma. The human papillomavirus(HPV) infection is associated with bowen’s disease. And recently HPV DNA has been detected to up to 30% on the extragenital bowen’s disease lesions. A 49-year-old woman presented solitary erythematous plaque with verrucous central region on the right calf. At first the lesion was just small verrucous papule, but gradually enlarged and became erythematous. The biopsy specimen from verrucous central region showed hyperkeratosis, parakeratotic tier within the stratum corneum, acanthosis and papillomatosis with inward bending of rete ridges. These findings were appropriate for verruca. But the specimen also revealed the features of bowen’s disease. Numerous atypical and pleomorphic cells showed mitotic figures and loss of polarity throughout stratum malpighi. The upper dermis was infiltrated by inflammatory cells. And specimen was stained weakly positive for p53 and strongly positive for p16 and Ki-67. Based on the clinical and histopathologic findings, the skin lesion simultaneously had the features of bowen’s disease and verruca. Therefore we suggest that the bowen’s disease may resulted from verruca and be associated with HPV infection. Here, we present a case of bowen’s disease originated from verruca.

( Ki Min Sohn ),( Kwan Ho Jeong ),( Jung Eun Kim ),( Young Min Park ),( Hoon Kang ) 대한피부과학회 2015 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.67 No.2

Background: There are clinical studies demonstrating the positive effect of electrical stimuli on hair regrowth. However, the underlying mechanism and optimal parameter settings are not clarified. Objectives: To investigate the effects of different parameter settings of electrical stimuli on hair growth by examining changes in human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) in vitro and by observing molecular changes in animal tissue. Methods: In vitro, cultured hDPCs were electrically stimulated with different parameter settings. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The Ki67 expression was measured by immunofluorescence. Hair growth-related gene expressions were measured by RT-PCR. In animal model, different parameter settings were applied to the shaved dorsal skin of rabbit for 8 weeks. Expression of hair-related genes in the skin of rabbit was examined by RT-PCR.Results: At low voltage power (3.5V) and low frequency (1MHz or 2MHz) alterating current, in vitro proliferation of hDPCs was successfully induced. A significant increase in Wnt/モ-catenin, Ki67, p-ERK and p-AKT expression was observed. In animal model, hair regrowth was observed in the entire stimulated areas and expression of hair-related genes in the skin significantly increased. Conclusion: There are optimal conditions for electric stimulated hair growth and they might be different in the cells, animal, and human tissue. Electric stimuli induces mechanisms such as activation of Wnt/モ-catenin and MAPK pathway in hair follicles.

P196 : Effects of different electrical parameter settings on hair growth: the changes of dermal papilla cell in vitro and at microscopic level in animal tissue

( Ki Min Sohn ),( Kwan Ho Jeong ),( Joo Hyun Lee ),( Jung Eun Kim ),( Hoon Kang ) 대한피부과학회 2014 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.66 No.2

Background: Frequency electrical stimulation is clinically being used in variable skin therapeutic conditions such as skin rejuvenation and hair disorder. There have been several clinical studies demonstrating the positive effect of electrical stimuli on hair regrowth. However, its exact mechanism is yet to be clarified. Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate effects of different electrical parameter settings on hair growth by revealing the changes of dermal papilla cell in vitro and at microscopic level in animal tissue. Methods: Cultured dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dorsal skin of rabbit were electrically stimulated with different parameter settings at alternating-current to find the optimal condition for hair growth. Cell viability and proliferation were measured by MTT. In addition, Ki67, proliferation marker, expression was measured by immunofluorescence. Hair growth-related gene expression in DPCs and the skin of rabbit were measured by RT-PCR. Results: At certain electrical settings, DPCs responded well and their proliferation was successfully induced. Wnt/β -catenin, Ki67, p-ERK and p-AKT expressions in DPCs increased at certain frequency settings. Dermal thickness and hair related genes (PDGF, VEGF, SOX9 and KGF) expressions in the skin of rabbit also significantly increased. Conclusion: These data suggest that electrical stimulations at certain electrical settings, may give more effective therapeutic outcomes for hair growth.

이은주,김협,서영준,서기범,이증훈,박장규,김유찬,김춘옥 대한피부과학회 2003 大韓皮膚科學會誌 Vol.41 No.5

Primary cutaneous CD3O(Ki-1) Positive anaplastic large cell Iymphoma(ALCL) is a rare subset of cutaneous Iymphoma. with a much better prognosis. ALCL is a heterogeneous process that may have a T-cell, B-cell, or indeterminant(null) phenotype and which may or may not express the anaplastic Iymphoma kinase(ALK) oncoprotein. We report a case of ALCL in a 72 year old man. About 4 months ago, multiple erythematous firm ulcerative mass and satellite nodules developed on the right lower leg. The skin lesions rapidly increased in number and size. Some lesions became painful and centrally ulcered. The histologic findings showed a diffuse infiltrate of large Iymphocytes with large nuclei, prominent and multiple nucleoli, and ample cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical stainings for CD3O, CD5 were positive but stainings for LCA, CD3, CD45RO, CD2O, cytokeratin, EMA, and ALK were negative. Therefore, we diagnosed our case as CD+/30ALK- ALCL (Korean J Dermatol 2003;41(5) : 666~669)
