  • 목적: 한국인의 여성암 중에서 호발하는 암 중의 하나인 자궁경부암의 검사 및 치료 형태와 치료 결과가 발표된 연구 논문을 통해 분석하고 미국과 일본 자궁경부암의 Patterns of Care Study (PCS)와 비교하여 한국 실정에 맞는 PCS 문항 개발의 진행을 위한 기본 자료를 제시하기 위해 문헌 비교 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 외국의 PCS 관련 자료는 PCS 홈페이지에 소개된 212편의 논문 및 초록 중에서 자궁경부암 및 PCS 구조부분의 논문(42편)과 최근에 발표된 논문을 대상으로 하였으며 한국에서 연구된 것은 Korean Pub Med에서 자궁경부암과 방사선치료에 관한 자료를 구하고(99편) 외국 잡지에 발표된 것을 포함하여 PCS의 비교 대상을 선정하여 PCS의 구조(Structure), 진행(Process), 결과(Outcome) 의 순서에 따라 비교 분석하였으며 시대에 따른 PCS의 패턴을 분석하기 위해 1980년대 이전과 1990년대 이후의 연구 결과로 나누어서 분석 하였다. 결과: 미국과 일본에서 자궁경부암의 PCS에 관한 논문이 각각 28편과 10편이 분석 가능하였고 한국은 73편이 PCS에서 다루는 항목을 포함하여 분석 가능하였다. 미국과 일본의 PCS는 공통적으로 치료기관의 규모, 의사 및 환자 수, 그리고 치료기관의 성격에 따라 계층화된 3~4개의 구조로 나누고 연구 대상 환자를 엄격하게 제한하였다. 그리고 연구의 진행을 위해 치료 전 병기 결정과정의 요소들을 나누고 시대에 따른 병기결정의 요소들을 분석하였으며 치료와 관련된 여러 가지 인자들을 다루고 FIGO 병기 이외의 예후인자들도 자세히 분석하며 기계에 대한 비교분석이 잘 되어 있다. 그러나 미국과 일본의 PCS도 그 나라의 특성상 미국은 인종간의 특성, 사회경제적 계층에 대한 분류를 시도하고 있으며, FIGO 병기에서 다루지 않은 종양의 크기(6편), 자궁방 또는 골반벽 침범이 한쪽 또는 양쪽으로 진행된 것에 따른 치료 결과의 분석이 활발하였고(5편), 일본은 종양표지자에 대한 연구가 포함되어 있다. 그리고 병기 결정 과정에서 공통적인 시대적 변화는 초창기의 림프과조영술, 바륨 관장술이 점차 사라지고 나중에 CT, MRI의 비중이 높아졌다. 한국 자료는 주로 단일 기관에서 한 연구로 구조(Structure)에 대한 언급이 없으며 기계적 특성에 따른 차이도 거의 분석하지 않았다. 그러나 최근의 연구 주제는 미국, 일본의 PCS에서 잘 다루지 않던 항암제의 병용 요법(9편), 치료기간(4편) 종양표지자(8편), 비전형적 분획 등을 다루고 있다. 결론: 여러 나라의 문헌을 비교 분석하여 한국에서 필요한 자궁경부암의 PCS를 이용한 문항개발이 이루어졌다. 그리고 후속적인 연구로 진행될 근접치료기 사용 및 치료의 결과, 부작용 등의 비교 분석을 포함하여 한국형 자궁경부암 PCS에서 필요한 항목을 합의 도출하여 완성하였으며 이 내용을 토대로 향후 표준화된 치료 모델 개발을 위한 PCS가 진행될 수 있으며 환자의 치료에 있어서 부족했던 분야에 대해 교정할 수 있는 교육적인 목적도 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) in the uterine cervix was investigated to define the possible etiologic role in cervical carcinogenesis. The viral genotyping and LMP-1 30bp deletion were also stooled. The materials included 169 uterine cervical swabs(152 within normal limits, 12 atypical squamous cells of uncertain significance, 3 low grade intraepithelial lesions, and 2 high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) and 104 uterine cervical tissues obtained from hysterectomy specimens(32 carcinoma in situ, 9 microinvasive squamous cell carcinomas, 37 invasive squamous cell carcinomas, 7 adenocarcinomas, 7 adenosquamous carcinomas, and 12 cervicitis). EBV detected by PCR for EBNA-1 was positive in 52(56.5%) of 92 invasive and noninvasive cervical carcinomas, and 80(48.8%) of 164 inflammatory or normal cervices. The viruses detected in carcinomas were all type A, and LMP-1 30bp deletion form was more frequent in premalignant and malignant cervical lesions than in nonneoplastic cervices. From the above results, it may be concluded that EBV is one of common viruses detected in uterine cervix of Korean women, and type A virus and LMP-1 30bp deletion form may have a role in cervical carcinogenesis.

  • Canine pyometra generally occurs in intact female dogs of more than four years of age. However, in rarely cases, pyometra can occur in young bitches. In the present report, two cases of pyometra in thirteen and eighteen months of age were presented. In both cases, absent of vaginal discharge represented that both patients had closed-cervix pyometra and diagnosis was somewhat complicated. In complete blood count, elevated level of leukocyte with left shift was found in both cases. Serum chemistry analysis showed elevation of alkaline phosphatase in both cases. Additionally, mild elevation of aspartate transferase and total protein were also found in $2^{nd}$ case. Radiographic and ultrasonographic findings show the enlargement of uterus and accumulation of fluid contents inside the uterine lumen. Ovariohysterectomy followed by antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for post-surgery medication was performed for treatment. After a week, both patients fully recovered. To reduce mortality of pyometra in young intact female dogs, radiography or ultrasonography should be indicated immediately in the bitches showing severe infectious inflammation.

  • Brachytherapy has a long history in the treatment of cancer. However, the treatment planning technique for brachytherapy has lagged somewhat behind the corresponding developments for external beam therapy as far as the imaging technique is concerned. Currently, the orthogonal-film-based treatment planning is performed at most institutions even though the CT-based planning is available. The aim of this study is to evaluate the CT-based vs. the orthogonal-film-based treatment planning in cervix cancer. The doses to point A, point B, rectum and bladder points according to ICRU 38 were calculated for the two methods above. In addition, the volumetric studies such as 3D dose computation and DVH were obtained for the CT-based planning. For the bulky tumor, the isodose lines of point A prescription were not fairly covered for the CTV. The CT -based dose planning can overestimate the maximum dose delivered to bladder and rectum by 30%. The CT-based planning has several advantages over the orthogonal-film-based such as 3D dose display, DVH, and more accurate target delineation. It is suggested that the prescription point in cervix cancer be revised especially for the bulky tumor.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the level of nausea & vomiting, anorexia and food intake during the periods of chemotherapy and 14 days after discharge. Method: The subjects were 40 cancer patients(cervix cancer : 20 patients, stomach cancer: 20 patients) who had chemotherapy with Cisplatin & 5-Fu. Data were analyzed by mean & standard deviation, ANCOVA. Result: 1. The severity of nausea & vomiting with anorexia in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy was the highest at the 3rd day and then it gradually decreased. At the 14th day after discharge, nausea & vomiting with anorexia still remained with very low levels. 2. The amount of food intake was the lowest on the 3rd day and then gradually increased. However, it was 53.3-72.5% of the ordinary food intake on the 14th day after discharge. Calorie intake was 625.31 Kcal on the 3rd day and 1130.92 Kcal on the 7th day after discharge. 3. There were no significant differences in nausea & vomiting, anorexia, food intake, calory intake between those with cervix cancer and stomach cancer. Conclusion: In cancer patients nausea & vomiting and anorexia were severe and food intake was very poor during chemotherapy but afterwards they were gradually improved, but were not completely recovered on the 14th day after discharge. Therefore the nursing intervention regarding the increase of food intake was necessary during chemotherapy and after discharge.

  • Network scale up (NSU) is a novel approach to estimate parameters in hard to reach populations through asking people the number of individuals they know in their active social network. Although the method have been used in hidden populations, advantages of NSU indicate that exploration of applicability to disease like cancer might be feasible. The aim of this study was to assess the application of NSU to estimate the size of the population of breast, ovarian/cervical, prostate, and bladder cancers in the South-east of Iran. A total of 3,052 (99% response rate) Kermanian people were interviewed in 2012-2013. Based on NSU, participants were asked about if they know any people on their social network who suffered from breast, ovarian/cervical, prostate, and bladder cancers, if yes, they should enumerate them. A total of 1,650 persons living with four types of cancers (breast, ovary/cervix, prostate, and bladder) were identified by the respondents. Totally, the prevalence of people living with the four types of cancers was 228.4 per 100,000 Kermanian inhabitants. The most prevalent cancer was breast cancer, at 168.9 per 100,000, followed by prostate cancer with 116.9, ovarian/cervical cancer with 99.8, and bladder cancer with 36.3 per 100000 Kerman city population. NSU values provide a usable but not very precise way of estimating the size of subpopulations in the context of the four major cancers (breast, ovary/cervix, prostate, and bladder).
