Kyung‑Yoon Jeon,Eun‑Ji Ko,Young Lim Oh,Hongbae Kim,Wan Kyu Eo,김아리,Han Gyu Sun,Meesun Ock,Ki Hyung Kim,Hee‑Jae Cha 한국유전학회 2020 Genes & Genomics Vol.42 No.10

Background Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute around 8% of the human genome and have important roles in human health and disease, including cancers. Previous studies showed that HERV envelope (Env) proteins are highly expressed in cancer tissues and co-related with cancer progression. KAP1 has been reported to play a key role in regulating retrotransposons, including HERV-K, through epigenetic silencing. Objective The relationship between KAP-1 and HERV Envs expressions was analyzed only in tumor cell lines and has not yet been studied in cancer tissues. In this study, we analyzed the expression patterns and relationship between KAP1 and HERV Env proteins in ovarian cancer tissues. Method The expression patterns of KAP-1 and HERV Env proteins, including HERV-K and HERV-R, were analyzed in ovarian cancer tissue microarrays that contained 80 surgical specimens, including normal ovary and malignant ovarian cancers. Results The expression of HERV-R Env and KAP1 proteins is signifcantly higher in ovarian cancer compared with normal ovary tissues. However, the expression of HERV-K Env did not change signifcantly in cancer tissues. The expression patterns of HERV-K Env and HERV-R Env signifcantly increased in early stages of cancer and KAP1 expression was higher in certain stage and types of cancers. However, the expression of HERV-K Env, HERV-R Env, and KAP1 did not change in diferent age groups. The correlation between the expression of KAP1 and HERV-Env, including HERV-K and HERV-R, was not signifcantly correlated. Conclusions The results of this study showed that there was no signifcant correlation between the expression of KAP1 and HERV Env proteins in ovarian cancer tissues, unlike studies with cell lines in vitro. These results suggest that the actual expression of HERV Env proteins in ovarian cancer tissues may be regulated through various complex factors as well as KAP1.

목적 : 제일제당에서는 녹농균의 세포외막 단밸질을 유효성분으로 하는 백신인 CFC-101을 개발하였으며, 동물시험에서 이 백신의 안전성과 유효성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 녹농균 백신의 인체에 대한 안전성과 면역원성을 평가하는 동시에 인체 접종시의 최적 투여 용량을 결정하기 위하여 제 I/Ⅱa상 임상시험을 수행하였다. 방법 : 건강한 성인 남자를 피험자로 선별하여 각 용량군에 백신투여자 6명, 위약투여자 2명을 배정하였다. 백신 투여군은 0.25mg, 0.5mg 또는 1.0mg 용량의 녹농균 백신을 7일 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 근육주사 하였으며, 위약 투여군에게는 세포외막 단백질을 제외한 동일한 성분을 투여하였다. 백신접종 후 국소적 또는 전신적인 반응의 발생여부를 관찰하고, 혈액시료를 체취하여 백신의 역가와 유효성을 검정하였다. 결과 : 녹농균 백신 CFC-101은 모든 접종자에서 양호한 내약성을 보였다. 또한 0.5mg 과 1.0mg 백신 투여군에서는 100%의 항체양전율을 나타내었다. 생성된 항체는 녹농균 세포외막단백질에 특이성을 보였고, 녹농균 감염에 대해 방어효능이 있었다. 결론 : 이와같은 결과로부터 이 녹농균 백신은 인체에 안전하게 투여할 수 있으며, 높은 항체 생성능으로 감염방어 효능을 보이고 0.5mg과 1.0mg이 최적용량인 것으로 판단되었다. Background : We developed a Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein(OMP) vaccine CFC-101, and the prophylactic efficacy of which has been demonstrated in animal models. In order to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the P. aeruginosa vaccine, we carried out a phase I/Ⅱa clinical trial in healthy male volunteers. Methods : Groups of eight volunteers, including two placebo subjects, were vaccinated intramuscularly with three doses of 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 mg of the vaccine at one week intervals. Sings of systemic and local reactions observed after vaccination were recorded for each vaccinee for 5 days. Physical examinations were performed on days 0, 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 42, and clinical laboratory tests were done on days 0, 3, and 21. Blood samples for assay of serum antibody levels were obtained up to 42 days after the first vaccination. Results : The vaccine was generally well tolerated by all vaccinees, showing no significant side effects. In the three dosage groups, all vaccinees, except one receiving the 0.25 mg dose, showed significant elevation in serum IgG antibody titers against the vaccine proteins, indicating 100% seroconversion in 0.5 and 1.0 mg groups. The human antibodies induced by the vaccine were specific for P. aeruginosa OMPs, as confirmed by western blot analysis and immunoprecipitation assays. The capacity of the human antisera to enhance opsonophagocytic killing activity by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and to confer protection against P. aeruginosa infections indicates that the antibodies elicited by the vaccine have protective efficacy. Conclusion : We conclude that the P. aeruginosa OMP vaccine is safe and effective for human use and its optimal dose to be 0.5 or 1.0 mg.

The impact of cancer on human life has been recognized and the demand for care for the patient with cancer is ever increasing. Yet very little study around these concerns has been reported. The subjects of this study were 388 patients with cancer who were receiving treatment .in the outpatient department of Yonsei University Cancer Center. The study dealt with the health problems experienced while receiving this treatment. The research method used in this study was the structured interview technique using a questionnaire. Data collection was done between Dec. 1. l986 and June 30. 1987. The questionnaire used in this study was a revision of three questionnaires, one developed by D.W. McCaffrey(coping with cancer), one developed by C.A. Morris(self concept as altered by the diagnosis) and one developed by M.J. Yasko(management of symptoms associated with chemotherapy). Content validity was treated with oncologists and oneology nurses & nursing faculty members. The results and recommendation of the study areas follows: 1. Results. 1) Characteristics of the Sample The diagnoses of the subjects were as follow: The most frequent diagnosis was cancer of the stomach(26.5%), followed by breast cancer, lymphoma, rectal / colon cancer and lung cancer. The average age was 48.6 years. There were an equal number of men and women. There were 116(30.4%) subjects who received chemotherapy and surgery for the treatment of their disease of the total number of subjects. 264(69.5%) were treated for less than 1 year, and 116(30.5%) were treated for more than 1 year. The average Length of treatment was 12.7 months. 2) In Summary Health problems were categorized under four areas: physical. emotional, social and economical. The patients with lymphoma and stomach cancer experienced more health problems than any others in this study. According to the age of the patients, those in their 20's complained of physical and emotional problems most frequently and of those in their 30's social-economical concerns were most evident. In female gender. physical and emotional problems were identified more frequently than male patients. And yet male patients indicated greater concern with economic problems than female patients. Regardless of the treatment method or length of treatment health problems in different areas were similar and statistically not significant. However, economic concern was statistically significant(F = 2.52. p< 0.5) in those with receiving a combination of chemotherapy and radiation Marital status and health problems were also statistically significant. That is patients who were divorced, separated or widowed had more physical, psychological and economical problems than those who were married. 2. Recommendations. 1) Since the physical symptoms of nausea / muscle weakness and malnutrition were major health problems, the patient's diet and activity need to be carefully detailed and included in the care plan and further research is needed in order to implement physical, psychological. economical & spiritual interventions. 2) A follow up study should be done using a larger number of subjects and indifferent settings to further validate the health problem checklist for cancer patients.

김미자,국기용,김태원,박유환,김완중,허경,정춘해,홍순표 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 1993 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.18 No.1

Inspite of possible effects for emesis following chemotherapy including cisplatin, nausea and vomiting are the most unpleasant side effects of cancer chemotherapy. None of the currently available antiemetic agents is entirely effective preventing emesis. Ondansetron, a 5-HT(5-hydroxytryptamine)_(3) receptor antagonist, has been shown to be effective antiemetic agent in the control of cisplatin induced emesis. Twenty solid tumor patients who are scheduled to receive cisplatin containing combination chemotherapy participated in a prospectively randomized study to compare the antiemetic efficacy and safety of ondansetron and metoclopramide. Ondansetron was given in dose of 8mg intravenous 30min before cisplatin and then 4hours and 8hours after cisplatin on day 1, and Ⅰ.Ⅴ. every 8hours from day 2 to 5. In the metoclopramide group, metoclopramide was given in dose of 2 ㎎/㎏ intravenous every 8hours from day 1 to 5. The control of emesis was graded in the following way : complete response, no vomiting : major response, 1-2 emetic episodes : minor response, 3-5 emetic episodes : failure, above 5 emetic episodes. Complete or major response of emesis was achieved 10 of 12(83.2%) patients receiving ondansetron and in 5 of 8(62.5%) patients receiving metoclopramide, but effectiveness was not significantly different. Ondansetron was at least as effective as metoclopramide therapy in controlling cisplatin induced emesis. Side effects in ondansetron was less than in Metoclopramide.

The investigation of resarch on research on the actual condition about weight control of 137 high school or college boxing players in cheongju, Seoul, Incheon, Suwon, Yongin, and Daegu drew the following conclusions. 1) The methods of weight control were described that reducing weight was 78.15, increasing weight was 13.1% and reducing or increasing weight was 8.8%. The method of imcrease in quantity of exercise was most used as the method of reducing weight, and the methods of bathing and dieting were used a lot. 2) The best condition was in teducing 3-1Kilograms of weight and the players felt the most fatigue in reducing 5-6Kilograms of weight. The foodstuffs which they ate most in teducing weight were vegetable and fruit. Water and soft dinks weten secodly. 3) They described 6-10days before thore t heir games were the most appropriate periods of reducig weight. Many plauers were satified with methods of reducing weight, but 82.5% of them thought reducing weight was icjurious to their tealth. 4) 47.4% of them lost their games because of the failure of reducing weight. All the players described the success of reducing weight affected the victory and thd defeat of their games. Therefore we could understand weight control was another game. 5) 8% of players had experience in taking medicine in reducing weight. 30% of them had experience in reducing more 9Kilograms of weight. "Laxis" was described as the most medicine taken in reducing weight.
