4.Expression of FHIT protein and allelic deletion at FHIT locus in primary cervical carcinoma tissues.
Korean Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2000;43(4):694-703
Allelic deletions involving the short arm of chromosome 3(3p13-21.1) have been observed frequently in cervical carcinomas. Recently the fragile histidine triad(FHIT) gene was cloned and mapped to this chromosomal region(3p14.2). From various studies involving tumor cell lines and primary cancers, the FHIT gene has been presumed to be a candidate for tumor suppressor gene involving various tumors. In FHIT gene, the most common aphidicolin-inducible fragile site, FRA3B exists and the FRA3B has been considered as a region of the spontaneous integration site of HPV 16. In order to elucidate the role of the FHIT in carcinogenesis of cervical cancer, this study was designed to investigate both the expression of FHIT protein in normal, preinvasive and invasive cancer samples employing immunohistochemical study and allelic loss of FHIT gene locus against several microsatellite markers employing the PCR analysis. Immunohistochemical studies of FHIT protein revealed following features. In normal ectocervical squamous epithelium, the expression of FHIT was relatively weak and confined to the basal layer, but in normal endocervical glandular epithelium it was very strong. The expression of FHIT was reduced as the tumor progressed from early lesion to invasive cancer. The koilocytosis was associated with diminished expression of FHIT protein. The study of allelic loss of FHIT gene locus was undertaken against two intragenic (D3S1300, D3S1234) and one extragenic (D3S1295) microsatellite markers. The 5th intron, D3S1300, showed allelic change in 6 of 15 assays and 7th intron, D3S1234 showed allelic change in 10 of 29 assays. There was no apparent LOH from 29 assays in D3S1295. In conclusion, the expression of FHIT protein was markedly reduced or absent in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and the chromosome breakage in FHIT region might be related to the diminished expression of FHIT. On the basis of the reduced expression of FHIT and its encompassment of FRA3B region, it is suggested that disruption of FHIT, a putative tumor suppressor gene, might be the mechanism by which HPV infection enhances cervical tumorigenesis and clonal outgrowth.

The results of hepatic portojejunostomy performed in 34 patients with biliary atresia between May 1989 and December 1997 were analyzed. These patients were divided into three groups based on age of surgery; group 1 (< or =60 days, n = 11); group 2 (61~90 days, n = 14), and group 3 (>90 days, n = 9). Jaundice was cleared in 22 cases (64.7%). There was no significant difference of jaundice-free rate according to the age at operation between group 1, 2, 3. After a mean follow-up period of 33.9 month (range 18days-105.7 month), there were eleven deaths from hepatic failure(6), esophageal varix bleeding even though anicteric(2), sepsis by cholangitis(1), heart failure(1) and renal failure(1). Two of group 1 and 3 had received liver transplantation. With follow-up of average 33.9 months (18days-106months, one follow-up loss), 5-year cumulative survival rate by Kaplan-Meier method was 65.9%. The 5-year survivals of group 1, 2, 3 were 63.6%, 77.9%, 41.4%. There was no significant difference of survival rates according to the age at operation between group 1, 2, 3. Moreover, two cases of group 3 survived more than 5 years. Therefore, hepatic portojejunostomy can be considered as a primary surgical modality for biliary atresia in a patient of 90 days or more. Early detection of esophageal varix and possible sclerotherapy is necessary for long term survival.

10.Malignant Lymphoma of Thyroid Associated with Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis and Occult Sclerosing Carcinoma: A case report.

Although the reported number of malignant lymphoma of the thyroid has been increased, primary malignant lymphoma of the thyroid associated with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis has been sporadically reported since its first description by Graham in 1931. The apparent coexistence of these two conditions has undoubtedly been noted by other observers. And they suggested that malignant lymphoma of the thyroid might arise from the lymphoid tissue ina wide variety of preexisting thyroidal disease. This report was made to record a case of primary thyroid lymphoma recently seen in this department with special emphasis on the associated thyroiditic changes in the uninvolved portion of the gland, which suggest the antecedent presence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.
