BACKGROUND: Several reports have demonstrated that TGFalpha and EGF are mitogenic for keratinocytes. Whenther its expression on epithelial tumors is a marker of malignancy or signifies an important step in the development of neoplasia is poorly understood. EGF receptors are also present in normal epidermis and epithelial tumors but their physiological roles are not yet understood. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to examine the staining patterns of TGFalpha, EGF and EGF receptors on the npithelial tumors of the skin, and to investigate kinetics of expression of EGF receptors. METHODS: We performed immunoperoxidase staining(ABC technique) with monoclonal anti-TGFalpha antibody, polyclonal anti-EGF antibody and polyclonal anti-EGF receptor antibody on the formalinfixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of benign, premalignant and malignant skin tumors. RESULTS: The density of the expression of TGFalpha and EGF was not correlated with the degree of the malignancy of the epithelial tumors and is neither constant in any kind of the tumors. However the infiltrative type of basal cell carcinoma(BCC) is stronger that its solid type on the expression of TGFalpha and EGF. All benign tumors demonstrated a diffuse pattern within tumor lobules. pression of TGFalpha and EGF. All benign tumors demonstrated a diffuse pattern within tumor lobules. Focal TGFalpha immunostaining was seen in three of 10 squamous cell carcinomas(SCC) and four of 10 BCCs. TGFalpha immunostaining was absent from the outermost one to two layers of tumor lobules of all keratoacanthomas. The specimens which increased the expression of TGFalpha and EGF tended to decrease the expression of EGF receptor. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that the density of immunohistochemical expression of TGFalpha and EGF may be not dependent on the differentiation of tumor cells, and the pattern of immunohistochemical expression of TGFalpha can differentiate SCC from benign tumors such as keratoacanthoma. FGF receptor may be occupied by both of TGFalpha and EGF. With the receptors being occupied, a down regulation of the receptors may occur which results in decreased EGF receptor expression.

It is well established that the CT is an essential part not only in screening primary brain tumors, but alsoin staging known malignancy. This paper reports various CT findings demonstrated in 12 cases of choriocarciomawith brain metastasis. The CT findings such as the number, location and density of the metastatic lesions, thedegree of brain edema, mass effect and effect of contrast enhancement are reviewed as well as the episode ofstroke syndrome and survival duration after neurologic symptoms attacks. The results were as follows; 1. Ten ofthese cases showed solitary metastatic lesion and remaining 2 cases were multiple lesions. 2. One was isodensedensity and the others were hemorrhagic increased denstiy by CT. 3. All of these showed mass effect to thesurrounding structures along with moderate to marked brain edema. 4. The position of the metastatic lesion werelocated at the supratentorially in all cases. Most of them were at the unilateral frontal or parietal area of bothof them. One which noted multiple metastatic foci showed at the bilateral occipital regions. 5. Nine cases showedring enhancement after contrast infusion. One which noted isodense density on the noninfusion scan showed alsoring enhancement after contrast infusion. 6. Nine cases showed positive stroke syndrom. One of them was perforemdemergency craniotomy. The remainging 3 cases noted progressive neurologic symptoms. 7. Two cases were noted onlybrain metastasis but the others also had various degree of pulmonary metastasis and 2 of latter had hepaticmetastasis, too. 8. Most of the cases were treated with CHAMOCA regimen, and one of them was taken whole brainirradiation (3000 rads/2 weeks). Another one case revealed marked regression of not only metastatic brain lesionbut the pulmonary lesion after the 8th course of CHAMOCA regimen and still alive for over 460 days.

OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this study were to estimate the effect of mandibular advancement device (MAD) and to evaluate the influence of the advancement amount of mandible in the application of MAD for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. METHODS: From the patients who were diagnosed as OSA by polysomnographic study at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2007 to February 2009, the patients who chose MAD as treatment option were included in this study. All the patients' data including clinical records and polysomnographic studies (both pre- and post-treatment) were reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS: Successful results were obtained in 65 patients of 86 patients (75.6%). In the follow-up period, mild discomfort of anterior teeth or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were described in 28 patients, especially in the cases the amount of mandibular advancement were more than 7.0 mm. There was no direct relationship between the amount of mandibular advancement and clinical outcome. CONCLUSION: MAD was effective treatment option for the OSA patients regardless of severity. For the prevention of potential dental complications, the amount of mandibular advancement should be considered at the time of MAD treatment.

Left ventricular free wall rupture following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the second most common cause of death and has been reported to be responsible for 4 to 24% of all infarction deaths. The rupture occurs anywhere from a few hours to several days after AMI. The common findings of ventricular rupture are persistent chest pain bradycardia and shock. This may be often mistaken for the ruptured dissection of the ascending aorta. The different points from dissection are 1) persistent chest pain 2)persistent ST segment elevation and 3) only intramural hematoma in ascending aorta. We have sucessfully managed two patients with postinfarction myocardial rupture. Surgical management consisted of infarctectomy repairi of the ventricular rupture and coronay artery bypass grafting. We conclude that successful surgical management of ventricular free wall rupture should require prompt diagnosis and emergency operation.

OBJECTIVE: Propofol and volatile anesthesia have been associated with metabolic acidosis induced by increased lactate. This study was designed to evaluate changes in pH, base excess (BE), and lactate in response to different anesthetic agents and to characterize propofol infusion-associated lactic acidosis. METHODS: The medical records of patients undergoing neurosurgical anesthesia between January 2005 and September 2012 were examined. Patients were divided into 2 groups : those who received propofol (total intravenous anesthesia, TIVA) and those who received sevoflurane (balanced inhalation anesthesia, BIA) anesthesia. Propensity analysis was performed (1 : 1 match, n=47), and the characteristics of the patients who developed severe acidosis were recorded. RESULTS: In the matched TIVA and BIA groups, the incidence of metabolic acidosis (11% vs. 13%, p=1) and base excess (p>0.05) were similar. All patients in the TIVA group who developed severe acidosis did so within 4 hours of the initiation of propofol infusion, and these patients improved when propofol was discontinued. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of metabolic acidosis was similar during neurosurgical anesthesia with propofol or sevoflurane. In addition, severe acidosis associated with propofol infusion appears to be reversible when propofol is discontinued.
