상피 세포에서 기원한 대표적인 종양표지자인 carcinoembryonic antigen (이하 CEA로 약함)은 삼출성 늑막액 환자의 양악성 감별에 보고적으로 사용되고 있다. CEA 이외에 혈청에서 양악성감별의 보조적 지표로 알려진 tissue polypeptide antigen (이하 TPA로 약함)과 squamous cell carcinoma antigen (이하 SCC Ag으로 약함)을 혈청과 늑막에서 동시 측정하여 늑막삼출액의 악성 감별에 어느 정도의 임상적인 유용성이 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 이 연구를 시행하였다. 1997년 1월 1일부터 동년 8월 31일까지 계명대학교 동산의료원에 입원한 환자들 중 삼출성늑막액을 가진 61명을 대상으로 하여 혈청과 늑막액에서 CEA, TPA, SCC Ag의 수치를 방사면역법으로 측정하였다. 각각의 조양표지자들은 악성과 양성군으로 구분한 뒤 분석하였으며 악성군이 28례, 양성군이 33례이었다. 그리고 진단양성기준치를 설정한 뒤 종양표지자들의 특이도, 민감도를 산출하였고 상기 지표들을 종양표지자와 늑막액 세포검사르 조합한 경우에도 산출하여 비교 분석하였다. 혈청 CEA 와 TPA는 각각 7.0 ng/ml, 80.0 ng/ml, 늑막액 CEA와 TPA는 각각 50. ng/ml, 4700.0 ng/ml로 진단양성기준치를 설정하였을 때 특이도를 낮추지 않으면서 가장 높은 민감도를 보였다. 늑막액 세포검사와 동시에 혈청 TPA 도는 늑막액 CEA를 측정하였을 때 특이도는 떨어뜨리지 않으면서 민감도를 높이는 좋은 조합인 것으로 나타났으며 혈청 CEA 및 TPA수치를 늑막액 세포검사와 도시에 시행하였을 때 특이도를 떨어뜨리지 않으면서 가장 높은 민감도를 얻었다. 늑막액 세포검사가 음성인 경우에도 혈청 CEA와 TPA를 동시에 측정하여 높은 민감도와 특이도를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 CEA와 TPA는 늑막삼출액의 양악성 감별 진단 유용한 보조적 지표로서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. Carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), the most widely used tumor marker was measured in pleural fluid of patients with exudative pleural effusions in order to differentiate malignant from benign effusions. This study was performed to find out if there is any clinical utility in differential diagnosis of malignancy by measuring simultaneously CEA, tissue polypeptide antigen(TPA) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC Ag) in serum and pleural fluid. The study population was 61 patients with exudative pleural effusions who were admitted to Keimyung University Hospital from January 1 to August 31, 1997. Each CEA, TPA and SCC Ag level in serum and pleural fluid were measured using radioimmunoassay method. These patients were divided to malignant and benign group. Malignant group consists of 28 cases and benign group consists of 33 cases. And the sensitivity and specificity of each tumor marker was obtained using cut-off value and that combining tumor markers and pleural fluid cytology were also obtained and analyzed. When the cut-off value was applied to CEA and TPA in serum using 7.0 ng/ml and 80.0 ng/ml respectively, the highest sensitivity was obtained without specificity being lowered. The same result was obtained when the cut-off value was applied to CEA and TPA in pleural fluid using 5.0 ng/ml and 4700.0 ng/ml respectively. When CEA in pleural fluid or TPA in serum were measured in combining with pleural fluid cytology sensitivity was increased without decreasing specificity than measured in pleural fluid cytology alone. When CEA in serum and TPA in serum were measured in combining with pleural fluid cytology simultaneously, the highest sensitivity was produced without decreasing specificity than measured in any other combinations. In addition, when serum CEA and TPA in serum were measured in the negative group of pleural fluid cytology, high sensitivity and specificity were obtained. These data suggest that CEA and TPA can be used as useful tumor markers for the differential diagnosis of malignancy and benign condition in patients with exudative pleural effusions.

The prevalence of PPNG among pretreated gonorrhea cases isolated at the STD clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul has been studied and reported annually since 1981. In 1991, 123 strains of N.gonorrhoeae were isolated, among which 58(47.1%) were PPNG. In 1992, 98 starains of N.gonorrhoeae were isolated, among which 51(52.0%) were PPNG. In all, 109(49.3%) strains were found to be PPNG among 221 strains isolated between 1991-1992. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul showed increased tendency till 1989, thereafter, it has been stationary or slightly decreasing.

Background: 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) converts inactive cortisone into cortisol, an active form, and is expressed by several tissues including the skin. Excessive active glucocorticoid (GC) deteriorates skin barrier function. Objectives: To find out if 11β-HSD1 affects on the barrier function in aged skin. Methods: We have performed human and in vivo studies. We measured cortisol in stratum corneum (SC) and oral epithelium of the elderly and young. Hairless mice were used for 11β-HSD1 immunohistochemistry staining of skin and measuring skin barrier function and serum cytokines. 11β-HSD1 knock-out (KO) mice and its wild-type were used for measuring lipid synthesis related enzyme. Results: Cortisol levels were elevated in SC and oral epithelium of the elderly rather than young. The 11β -HSD1 expression was increased in immunohistochemistry stain of aged mice skin. Aged mice showed decreased transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and SC hydration, and increased SC integrity than young. Serum inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1α, -4, -10, -31 and tumor necrosis factor-α were increased in aged mice than young. The expressions of lipid synthesis related enzymes in epidermis were elevated in KO mice and topical 11β -HSD1 inhibitor applied mice. Conclusion: 11β-HSD1 expression is elevated in aged skin. It increases active GC and then deteriorates skin barrier function.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been pandemic and remains one of the most common STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of Penicillinase Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG), we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by menas of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. In 1998, 93 strians of N. genorrhoeae were isolated, among which 60(64.5%) were PPNG. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul, which had been decreased to 39% in 1996 after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, is increased to 64.5% in 1998.

1960년대 이후 파킨슨병의 유발물질 중 한 후보로서 망간이 주목받으면서 많은 역학적, 병러학적 연구가 수행죄브다. 그러나 망간이 파킨슨병을 직접 일으키는지, 혹은 파킨슨병과 관련된 부위의 신경세포를 파괴시쿡 파킨슨증만을 초래하는 것인지가 아직 정립되지 않은 실정이다 본 연구에서는 실험동물모델에서 행등학적 변화 측정 및 병리학적, 샐화학적 연구를 통하여 망간의 과다노출글 따른 파킨슨병 유발 여부를 확인하고자 하였다. Sprague-Datylet· 렛드에 망간을 1, 2, 5, 10 mgAg/day의 응량으로 30일 등안 복강 투여하였을 때 모든 망간투여군에서 운동성 감소가 관찰되었다. 뇌조직의 망간 함량을 ion chromatograph?로 측정한 결과 중뇌 흑질과 기저핵 선조체에서 망간 함량의 뚜렷한 증가 소견이 관찰되었으며, 니슬염색체서 선조체의 신경세포수의 유의성 있는 감소가 관찰되었다. 그러나, 흑질의 TH효소 면역염색, GFAP 면역염색, 흑질과 선조체의 T릿효소 western blot 결과는 대조군과 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서, 망간-파킨슨증 모델에서 파킨슨증어 유발되는 기전은 흑질 도파민성 신경 세포의 신호를 받는 선조체 씬경세포의 사멸에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로, 망간 독성에 의한 파킨스증 모델에서는 파킨슨 병과는 달리 흑질 도파민성 신경세포의 세포사는 관여하지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. Manganese(Mn) intoxication causes a parkinsonian syndrome. It may be difficult to distinguish Mn-induced parkinsonism from idiopathic Parkinson disease(IPD). Neuropathological descriptions on the brains with Mn intoxication showed the perferential damage in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra pars reticularis. Pathological reports on the substantia nigra pars compacta(SNpc), a mafor focus of pathologic changes in IPD, are discordant and controversial. The SNpc involvement is of critical importance for the elucidation of pathogenesis of IPD. Therefore, the neurodegeneration in SNpc was investigated in the experimental model of Mn neurotoxicity. Sprague-Dawley rats were administered with manganese chloride(1, 2, 5, 10 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 30 days. Treated animals showed low levels of distance-traveled from locomotor activity tests. Ion chromatography revealed that Mn accumulation was significant in SN and basal ganglia in Mn-treated animals. Nissl staining showed neuronal loss of the striatum in all treated animals. The degree of neurodegeneration in SN was determined by immunohistochemical staining of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH). The numbers of TH-positive cells on nigral sections were not different from each groups(P>0.05). The densities of glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity from SN were similar between groups. TH-westen blotting showed no differences between treated animals and controls. In conclusion, the SNpc remains intact in Mn intoxication, and Mn-induced parkinsonism may be caused by damages of output pathways downstream to the nigrostriatal dopminergic system.

과립상 세포종은 Schwann 세포 기원으로 생각되며 인체에 비교적 드물게 발생한다. 과립상 세포종은 전신 어느 곳에서나 발견될 수 있으나 주로 혀, 구강, 피부 혹은 유방 등에서 호발하며 드물게 위장관에서 발견된다. 위장관에서는 식도에서 가장 호발하며 다음으로 위, 대장 순이다. 과립상 세포종은 대부분, 특히 위장관에서는 양성이며 소수의 악성 병변이 보고되었다. 이러한 이유와 함께 수술 전의 진단이 어렵기 때문에 과립상 세포종에 대한 근본적인 치료는 현재까지 외과적 절제술이다. 최근에 시도되는 치료방법들로는 내시경적 레이저 치료, 용종절제술, 내시경적 점막 절제술 등이 있다. 저자들은 상부 소화관 내시경검사를 시행하여 식도 과립상 세포종을 진단하고 내시경적 점막 절제술을 시행하여 합병증 없이 퇴원하여 현재 재발없이 경과 관찰중인 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Granular cell tumors, which occur infrequently, are probably of Schwann cell origin. They can occur almost anywhere in the body but usually affect the tongue, oral cavity, skin, or breasts and are rarely found in the gastrointestinal tracts. The esophagus is the most frequent gastrointestinal site, followed by the stomach and the colon. Granular cell tumors are generally benign, especially in the gastrointestinal tract, some malignant lesions have been reported. For this reason, and also because preoperative diagnosis is difficult, the standard treatment for granular cell tumor has until now been surgical excision. In recent years, other therapeutic methods is endoscopic laser therapy (ELT), polypectiomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). We report a case of esophageal granular cell tumor which was diagnosed by an endoscopy and managed using an endoscopic mucosal resection without complication.

Paecilomyces sinclairiis (PS) is known as a functional food or human health supplement. However concerns have been raised about its kidney toxicity. This study was performed to investigate the kidney toxicity of PS by 13 week-oral administration to rats. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, and kidney damage biomarkers including beta-2-microglobulin (β2m), glutathione S-transferase alpha (GST-α), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), calbindin, clusterin, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and osteopontin were measured during or after the treatment of PS. BUN, creatinine and kidney damage biomarkers in serum were not changed by PS. However, kidney cell karyomegaly and tubular hypertrophy were observed dose-dependently with higher severity in males. KIM-1, TIMP-1 and osteopontin in kidney and urine were increased dose dependently in male or at the highest dose in female rats. Increased urinary osteopontin by PS was not recovered at 2 weeks of post-exposure in both genders. Cystatin C in kidney was decreased at all treatment groups but inversely increased in urine. The changes in kidney damage biomarkers were more remarkable in male than female rats. These data indicate that the PS may provoke renal cell damage and glomerular filtration dysfunction in rats with histopathological lesions and change of kidney damage biomarkers in kidney or urine. Kidney and urinary KIM-1 and cystatin C were the most marked indicators, while kidney weight, BUN and creatinine and kidney damage biomarkers in serum were not influenced.
