목적 : 정상 성인에셔 소뇌와 뇌교의 MRS의 정상 소견과 대사물질비의 정상값을 구하고, 같은 장비에서 반복 시행한 결과의 차이와 다른 장비간의 결과의 차이가 어느 정도인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 건강한 9명의 정상 자원자(평균연령 23세)를 대상으로 두 개의 서로 다론 1.5T MR 장비 (A, B 장비)에서 각각 두 번씩 총 4회의 MRS를 양측 소뇌 반구와 뇌교에셔 시행하였 다. 스핀에코 단일화적소기법을 이용하였고 소뇌에서는 $2{\times}2{\times}1.5{\;}em$의 voxel 크기를, 뇌교 에서는 $1.5{\times}1.5{\times}1.5{\;}cm$의 voxel을 적용하였다. TR/TE는 2000/288 msec, Averaging 은 128회로 하였다. 소뇌와 뇌교의 NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, NAA/(Cho+Cr), Cr/Cho 비를 peak height와 peak area로 각각 구하여, 같은 장비 내 (intra-unit) , 그리고 다론 장비간 (inter-unit)의 정상값에 유의한 차이가 있는지를 알아보았다. 결과 : A 장비에서 첫번째로 시행한 peak height NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, NAA/(Cho+ Cr), CriCho 비의 평균값(표준편차는 소뇌에서 각각 $1.08{\pm}0.16,{\;}1.44{\pm}0.286,{\;}0.61{\pm}0.09,{\;}0.76{\pm}0.13$ 였고, 두번째 시행한 결과와 비교할 때 장비내 차이는 3-7% 였다. B장비에서 시 행한 2회의 검사 사이에서는 22% 의 차이를 보인 Cr/Cho를 제외하면 1-9% 의 장비내 차이 를 보였다. A, B 두 장비 간 차이는 1-26%였다. 뇌교에서는 A장비 첫번째 peak height 측정 치는 $1.51{\pm}0.35,{\;}3.35{\pm}0.78,{\;}1.02{\pm}0.16,{\;}0.47{\pm}0.14$로서, 소뇌보다 NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, NAA!(Cho+Cr) 비가 유의하게 높았다. 장비내 차이는 A장비에서 2-21 %였고, B장비에서 4-18%였다. A, B 두 장비간 차이는 1-18% 였다. peak area로 구한 대사산물비의 평균값은 peak height 의 그것에 비해 전반적으로 두 장비에서 높거나 광범위한 변이를 보였다. 결론 : 소뇌의 NAA/Cho과 NAA/Cr의 평균값이 뇌교의 그것보다 유의하게 낮았다. 같은 장비 내에서 반복 시행한 평균값의 차이는 대체적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 다른 장비에서 반복 시행한 장비간의 사이에는 유의한 차이가 있는 경우가 더 많았다. 따라서 , MRS 검사를 소뇌나 뇌교의 어떤 절환에 적용하기 전에 각 장비 마다 정상 기준치를 반드시 얻은 후에 이상여부를 판 정하는 것이 필수적이라고 생각된다. Purpose: The purposes of this study are to evaluate normal MR spectroscopy (MRS) data of the cerebellum and pons, and to evaluate intra-unit and inter-unit differences of the results. Materials and methods: Nine normal volunteers (mean age 23 years) were studied with two 1.5 Tesla MR units (A and B units). A total of four sessions of MRS study were performed with two sessions in ea.ch MR unit in each volunteer. In each session, MRS data were obtained from bilateral cerebellar hemisphere and pons. MRS was performed using spin-echo single voxel technique with repetition time of 2000 ms, echo time of 288ms and 128 averagings. Voxel size was $2{\;}{\times}{\;}2{\;}{\times}{\;}1.5{\;}cm$ in the cerebellum and $1.5{\;}{\times}{\;}1.5{\;}{\times}{\;}1.5{\;}cm$ in the pons. Metabolite ratios of NAA/Cho, NAAcCr, NAAc(Cho+Cr) and Cr/Cho (both peak heights and the peak areas) were compared among the results of four sessions of MRS for evaluation of intra-unit and inter-unit differences. Results: In the cerebellum, mean (SO values of peak height NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, NAA/(Cho+Cr) and Cr/Cho ratios obtained in the first session of A unit were $1.08{\pm}O.16,{\;}1.44{\pm}O.286,{\;}0.61{\pm}O.09{\;}and{\;}O.76{\pm}0.13$, respectively. Comparing with the results of the second session, intra-unit differences were 3-7%. In B unit intra-unit differences were 1-9%, except for 22% of Cr/Cho ratio. Inter-unit differences between A and B units were 1-26%. In the pons, mean ISD values of peak height NANCho, NANCr, NANICho + Cr) and Cr/Cho ratios obtained in the first session of A unit were $1.51{\pm}O.35,{\;}3.35{\pm}O.78,{\;}1.02{\pm}0.16{\;}and{\;}0.47{\pm}O.14$, respectively. Mean NAAfCho, NANCr and NAAI(Cho+ Cr} ratios of the pons were significantly higher than those of the cerebellum. Intra-unit differences were 2-21 % in A unit and 4-18 % in B unit. Inter-unit differences between A and B units were 1-18%. The mean values obtained by using peak area were generally higher and wider in range than those of peak height in both units. Conclusion: Mean NAAfCho, NAAlCr and NAAf(Cho+Cr) ratios of the cerebellum were significanHy lower than those of the pons. Intra-unit differences of most metabolites ratios were generally not significant, whereas inter-unit differences were greater than intra-unit differences in more metabolite ratios. Therefore, normal MRS data of the cerebellum and the pons should be obtained in every MR unit, before MRS applications in the diseases of the cerebellum and the pons.

Purpose: Screening in cervical cancer is now progressingto discover candidate genes and proteins that mayserve as biological markers and that play a role in tumorprogression. We examined the protein expression patternsof the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) tissues fromKorean women with using two- dimensional polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix assistedlaser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI- TOF)mass spectrometer.Materials and Methods: Normal cervix and SCC tissueswere solubilized and 2-DE was performed using pH 3~10linear IPG strips of 17 cm length. The protein expressionwas evaluated using PDQuest 2-D softwareTM. The differentiallyexpressed protein spots were identified with aMALDI-TOF mass spectrometer, and the peptide massspectra identifications were performed using the Mascotprogram and by searching the Swiss-prot or NCBInrdatabases.Results: A total of 35 proteins were detected in SCC.17 proteins were up-regulated and 18 proteins weredownregulated.Among the proteins that were identified, 12proteins (pigment epithelium derived factor, annexin A2and A5, keratin 19 and 20, heat shock protein 27, smoothmuscle protein 22 alpha, α-enolase, squamous cell carcinomaantigen 1 and 2, glutathione S-transferase andapolipoprotein a1) were protein previously known to beinvolved in tumor, and 21 proteins were newly identifiedin this study.Conclusion: 2-DE offers the total protein expressionprofiles of SCC tissues; further characterization of thesedifferentially expressed proteins will give a chance toidentify the badly needed tumor-specific diagnostic markersfor SCC.
