Background : There is an individual variation in the hepatic injuries following alcohol abuse, which may be partly caused by the diverse activities of enzymes participating in the degradation of alcohol. Polymorphism of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) gene has been reported to affect the degradating activity of the enzyme, which may be eventually associated with the severity of alcoholic liver disease. In this study we were to evaluate the effects of genetic polymorphism of CYP2E1 on hepatocellular injury or fibrosis. Methods : We analyzed the relationship of CYP2E1 genotypes to the biochemical and clinical characteristics as well as TGFβ1 expressions in a total of 33 patients (M:F=32:1) with advanced alcoholic liver cirrhosis. CYP2E1 genotypes were determined by RFLP using RsaI and PstI. The amounts of serum TGFβ1 were measured by ELISA (TGFβ1 ELISA system, Promega, USA). Results : Out of 33, 23 (70%) had the CYP2E1 of genotype A and all of the remaining 10 (30%) were type B; there was no one who had type C. The serum albumin levels of patients with type A of CYP2E1 gene were lower than those with type B (p=0.01); the Child-Pugh scores were also higher in patients with type A than B (p=0.03). However, there was no difference between the two groups in the serum AST, ALT, γ-GTP and bilirubin levels. The patients expressed similar amount of serum TGFβ1 regardless of their CYP2E1 genotypes. Conclusion : Our data indicates that the most common genotype of CYP2E1 is type A (70%) in patients with advanced alcoholic liver cirrhosis in Korea. It is also suggested that patients with genotype A of CYP2E1 may be associated with more advanced alcoholic liver cirrhosis compared to those with type B.(Korean J Med 60:222-227, 2001)

After the administration of 440 mg/m2 of the total cumulative dose of adriamycin, a typical clinical manifestation of dilated cardiomyopathy developed in a 16-year-old female patient with osteogenic sarcoma. Transvenous endomyocardial biopsy showed a generalized myofibrillar loss and vacuolization of myocytes, which was consistent with adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy. Supportive care with an orally-active inotropic agent and an inhibitor of an angiotensin-converting enzyme improved the patients symptoms dramatically. A follow-up endomyocardial biopsy was done 3 months later, showing no significant changes in the pathologic findings. From this case, we conclude that serial endomyocardial biopsy should be performed for exact monitoring of cardiac toxicity and prevention of irreversible cardiomyopathy in patients receiving adriamycin.

N/A Background/Aims: Jaundice is present in 19-44% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) at the time of diagnosis. The mechanisms of jaundice are associated with cirrhosis, tumor infiltration into the hepatic parenchyma, and bile duct obstruction. Causes of obstructive jaundice secondary to bile duct obstruction in HCC are bile duct invasion of tumor, tumor thrombi, blood clot of hemobilia, and direct bile duct compression of tumor or metastatic lymph n3e. Methods: To evaluate levels and causes of bile duct obstruction in HCC patients with obstructive jaundice and to assess its survival according to causes of obstructive jaundice, we performed retrospective study, from March 1992 to June 1994, with HCC patients with obstnictive jaundice who under- went endoscopic retrograde cholangogiraphy and/or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. Results: The commonest level of bile duct obstruction was common hepatic duct(35.3%), followed by common bile duct(23.5%). The causes of obstruction type were tumor invasion(58.8%), tumor thromhi(29.4%), blood clot with hemobilia(5.97o), and bile duct compression hy tumor (5.9%), in order. The level of bile duct obstruction in most cases of tumor invasion was common hepatic duct while in cases of tumor thrombi, common bile duct was the frequent site. There v:as no difference in levels and types of bile duct obstruction according to tumor types of HCC. The su.rvival period of patients with tumor thrombi was significantly longer than that of patients with bile duct invasion(p0.05). Conclusions; HCC involving bile duct will be found frequently with increased use of direct cholangiograpy. The commonest type of bile duct obstruction in HC'C was duct invasion, so aggressive and adequate treatment for HCC may be useful in management of bile duct obstruction.

N/A After the historical discovery of a soluble vasodilating substance from the vascular endothelium (endothelium-derived relaxing factor, EDRF), impaired EDRF-mediated vasorelaxation is discussed as one of the main pathogenic mechanisms of coronary artery spasm. Recently, some clinical reports that hypomagnesemia may be implicated in the induction of coronary artery spasm were presented, although there are controversial reports on the effects of the extracellular magnesium ion on endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. Isometric contraction-relaxation was recorded in the transverse strips of porcine coronary artery to clarify the exact effects of Mg2+ on tension-development by a vasoconstrictor agent and on endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and to predict a possible mechanism of hypomagnesemia in the induction of coronary artery spasm. The results of our study were as follows: 1) Vasoconstrictor activity of PGF2α was significantly more attenuated in the endothelium-intact transverse strips of porcine coronary artery than in the endothelium-denuded strips. 2) Lowering the magnesium concentration enhanced the vasoconstrictor activity of PGF2α while a marked reduction of isometric tension was observed with the elevation of magnesium concentration. 3) Bradykinin-induced endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation is a dose-dependent manner which was completely abolished with the pretreatment of hemoglobin. 4) Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation of bradykinin was markedly inhibited by lowering the extracellular calcium ion concentration. 5) Change of the extracellular magnesium ion concentration did not alter the IC50 (inhibitory concentration of bradykinin causing a 50% inhibition of the maximum contraction) values of bradykinin-induced endothelium dependent vasorelaxation. From these results it is concluded that if magnesium deficiency is implicated in the induction of coronary artery spasm, the main mechanism would be direct enhancement of responsiveness of the vascular smooth muscle to the vasoconstrictors. Further study with a bioassay system and more various stimulators of EDRF secretion is necessary for exact clarification of the effects of Mg2+ on endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation.

Background : The objectives of this study are to determine the positive rate of HBV serologic markers and infection rate, and to evaluate the efficiency of hepatitis B vaccination. Methods : Study subjects included 905 persons in 1988-1989 and 744 persons in 1993-1994 living in typical rural communities in Korea. Three serologic markers(HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc) were tested by radio-immunoassay(RIA). Supplemental informations were collected by self-administered questionnaire and interview on age, sex, history and frequency of vaccination. Results : 1) Among non-vaccinees, HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc positive rates and infection rate in 1993-1994/1988-1989 were 5.4%/6.5%, 49.1%/45.9%, 48.3%/44.1% and 60.6%/54.5% respectively. The infection rate showed a trend of continuous increase as the age increased, while statistically significant increase was seen over age 20. 2) Overall vaccination rate was 18.1% in 1988-1989 and 37.9% in 1993-1994, showing statistically significant increase in vaccination rate. The rate in younger age groups were higher than in older groups in 1988-1989, but there was no difference by age groups in 1993-1994. Among vaccinees, anti-HBs only positive group occupied 42.7% in 1988-1989 and 41.3% in 1993-1994. HBs Ag negative and anti-HBc positive group occupied 26.2% in 1988-1989 and 36.73% in 1993-1994. Conclusion : 1) Among non-vaccinees, HBsAg positive rate was decreased, but the hepatitis B infection rate was not decreased. 2) The test for selection of eligible person of vaccination and education program for completion of vaccination schedule must be reevaluated to improve the efficiency of hepatitis B vaccination.

Objectives: Hepatocellular cearcinoma(HCC) patients presenting with vascular involvement or extrahepatic metastasis are usually contraindicated to surgery or chemoebolization, and median survival of those has been reported to be only a few weeks. Recent several studies suggested that certain chemotherapeutic agent or recombinant interferonalpha(rIFN-α) may be useful in a proportion of patients with inoperable HCC. Methods: To evaluate the effect of intraarterial cisplatin infusion and systemic rlFN-α in the treatment of HCC, 68 HCC patients with major portal vein thrombosis or distant metastasis were randomized to three groups: group A(n=19) treated with cisplatin and rIFN-α, group B(n-23) with cisplatin and group C(n=26) with supportive care only. Cisplatin of 2mg/kg body weight was infused transarterially every 8weeks and rIFN-α of 3×10(6) IU/m2 Bady Surface area was administered subcutaneously three times per week. Patients with severe hepatic decompensation(serum bilirubin>3.0 mg/dL, albumin<3.0g/L, prothrombin time<60%), hypersplenism(peripoheral WBC count <3,000/mm3, platelet count<40,000/mm3), uncontrolled ascites, active gastrointerstinal bleeding, cardiac or renal dysfunction were excluded in this study. The effects of therapy were assessed by the changes of tumor size and durations of survival. Results: The partial response rate assessed by the change of tumor size in group A was significantly higher than that in group B(33 vs 14%: p<0.05). 1 year survival rate of group A (27%) was also significantly higher than that of group B (9%) or C (0%) (p<0.05, p<0.01, respectively). Furthermore, median survival period of group A (19weeks) was significantly longer than that of group B(11weeks) or C(5weeks) (p<0.05, p<0.01, resectively). Side effects of combined therapy were flu-like symptoms, gastrointestinal upset, transient elevation of serum creatinine or ALT level, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and oral ulcer. However, these were transient and well tolerated by all of the patients. Conclusion. These data suggest that combined therapy of intraarterial cisplatin infusion and systemic rIFN-α administration may be useful in the treatment of HCC patients with major portal vein thrombosis or distant metastasis, in terms of tumor response or prolonging survival period.

An epidermoid cyst which is a beign tumor with a stratified squamous epithelium that lacks hair or skin appendage have been described as the most frequent tumorous malformation of central nervous system. Also epidermoid cyst may develop at any other organ, i.e. spleen, pancreas, testis, scalp, skull, vaginal wall, or epiglottis. Almost of epidermoid cyst were diagnosed postoperatively because they have no specific radiologic finding and have difficulty in diagnosis by percutaneous needle aspiration. We report a case of epidermoid cyst which was diagnosed preoperatively as pancreatic head mass but was diagnosed postoperatively as epidermoid cyst at retroperitoneum separated from pancreas.

Background/Aims: The diagnostic value of terminal ileum (TI) biopsies during colonoscopy remains controversial. This study assessed the clinical characteristics of terminal ileal lesions during colonoscopy to find the affecting factors for the specific investigations in addition to TI biopsies. Methods: Thirty-seven patients (male to female ratio of 1.6, mean age 42.2±12.2 years, range 20-68 years) who had undergone colonoscopy with biopsies of TI at Dongguk University International Hospital from September 2005 to December 2007 were retrospectively studied. We analyzed the characteristics of patients, endoscopic and histopathologic findings, followed by multivariate analysis of those significant variables. Results: Ulcerative lesions were most frequently found in 17 cases (45.9%) and multiple lesions were observed in eight cases (21.6%). Aphthoid shape was evident in 19 cases (51.4%). Eight cases (21.6%) were combined with ileocecal valve (ICV) lesion. On histopathologic examination, nonspecific inflammation was evident in 19 cases (51.4%). The diagnostic yield of TI biopsies was 5.4%. Presence of ICV lesion (p=0.004) and multiple lesions (p=0.027) were associated with clinically significant TI lesion. By multivariate analysis, only ICV lesion was statistically significant (Odds ratio 8.3: 95% confidence interval 1.3-54.1, p=0.026). Conclusions: Not all patients who undergo colonoscopy require intubation of TI. However, a careful examination of ICV could be useful to determine whether intubation of TI would be necessary or not.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and serosal, synovial, or cutaneous inflammation, caused by a dysfunction of pyrin as a result of mutation within the MEFV gene. It occurs mainly among Mediterranean and Middle Eastern populations, including Jews, Arabs, and Turks. However, FMF cases have been reported outside the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries in recent years. Although FMF has been relatively rare in Korea until now, proper recognition of FMF might lead to more frequent diagnoses of FMF. We experienced an interesting case, a 31-year-old Korean man who presented with recurrent abdominal pain with fever and urticarial eruption for 10 years. DNA analysis showed complex mutations (p.Leu110Pro, p.Glu148Gln) in the MEFV gene. To date, three cases have been reported, and this case of FMF with skin conditions is the first case in Korea.

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHC) syndrome is hepatitis characterized by severe right upper abdominal pain associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), mimicking the symptoms of acute abdomen, such as in acute cholecystitis. FHC syndrome is becoming more common with the increasing incidence of PID in Korea. We treated eight patients with FHC syndrome, who visited our hospital with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. We emphasize the importance of spiral computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of right upper quadrant abdominal pain in sexually active young women. (Korean J Med 77:91-94, 2009)
