  • Background: We hypothesized that ketamine, when administered as the anesthetic induction agent, may prevent cardiovascular depression during high-dose remifentanil administration, unlike propofol. To test our hypothesis, we retrospectively compared the hemodynamic effects of ketamine, during high-dose remifentanil administration, with those of propofol. Methods: Thirty-eight patients who underwent oral surgery at the Nagasaki University Hospital between April 2014 and June 2015 were included in this study. Anesthesia was induced by the following procedure: First, high-dose remifentanil ($0.3-0.5{\mu}g/kg/min$) was administered 2-3 min before anesthesia induction;next, the anesthetic induction agent, either propofol (Group P) or ketamine (Group K), was administered. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the heart rate were recorded by the automated anesthesia recording system at four time points: immediately before the administration of high-dose remifentanil (T1);immediately before the administration of propofol or ketamine (T2);2.5 min (T3), and 5 min (T4) after the administration of the anesthetic induction agent. Results: In Group P, the MAP at T3 ($75.7{\pm}15.5mmHg$, P = 0.0015) and T4 ($68.3{\pm}12.5mmHg$, P < 0.001) were significantly lower than those at T1 ($94.0{\pm}12.4mmHg$). However, the MAP values in the K group were very similar (P = 0.133) at all time points. The heart rates in both Groups P (P = 0.254) and K (P = 0.859) remained unchanged over time. Conclusions: We showed that ketamine, when administered as the anesthetic induction agent during high-dose remifentanil administration, prevents cardiovascular depression.

  • Secondary prevention via earlier detection would afford the greatest chance for a cure in premalignant lesions. We investigated the exomic profiles of non-malignant and malignant changes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and the genomic blueprint of human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven carcinogenesis in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Whole-exome (WES) and whole-genome (WGS) sequencing were performed on peripheral blood and adjacent non-tumor and tumor specimens obtained from eight Korean HNSCC patients from 2013 to 2015. Next-generation sequencing yielded an average coverage of $94.3{\times}$ for WES and $35.3{\times}$ for WGS. In comparative genomic analysis of non-tumor and tumor tissue pairs, we were unable to identify common cancer-associated early mutations and copy number alterations (CNA) except in one pair. Interestingly, in this case, we observed that non-tumor tonsillar crypts adjacent to HPV-positive OPSCC appeared normal under a microscope; however, this tissue also showed weak p16 expression. WGS revealed the infection and integration of high-risk type HPV16 in this tissue as well as in the matched tumor. Furthermore, WES identified shared and tumor-specific genomic alterations for this pair. Clonal analysis enabled us to infer the process by which this transitional crypt epithelium (TrCE) evolved into a tumor; this evolution was accompanied by the subsequent accumulation of genomic alterations, including an ERBB3 mutation and large-scale CNAs, such as 3q27-qter amplification and 9p deletion. We suggest that HPV16-driven OPSCC carcinogenesis is a stepwise evolutionary process that is consistent with a multistep carcinogenesis model. Our results highlight the carcinogenic changes driven by HPV16 infection and provide a basis for the secondary prevention of OPSCC.

  • Radiotherapy patients should maintain their treatment position as patient setup is very important for accurate treatment. In this study, we evaluated patient setup error quantitatively according to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Gamma Density Analysis using Mobius CBCT. The adjusted setup error to the $QUASAR^{TM}$ phantom was moved artificially in the superior and lateral direction, and then we acquired the CBCT image according to the phantom setup error. To analyze the treatment setup error quantitatively, we compared values suggested in the CBCT system with the Mobius CBCT. This allowed us to evaluate the setup error using CBCT Gamma Density Analysis by comparing the planning CT with the CBCT. In addition, we acquired the 3D-gamma density passing rate according to the gamma density criteria and phantom setup error. When the movement was adjusted to only the phantom body or 3 cm diameter target inserted in the phantom, the CBCT system had a difference of approximately 1 mm, while Mobius CBCT had a difference of under 0.5 mm compared to the real setup error. When the phantom body and target moved 20 mm in the Mobius CBCT, there are 17.9 mm and 13.5 mm differences in the lateral and superior directions, respectively. The CBCT gamma density passing rate was reduced according to the increase in setup error, and the gamma density criteria of 0.1 g/cc/3 mm has 10% lower passing rate than the other density criteria. Mobius CBCT had a 2 mm setup error compared with the actual setup error. However, the difference was greater than 10 mm when the phantom body moved 20 mm with the target. Therefore, we should pay close attention when the patient's anatomy changes.

  • 본 연구에서는 내부표적체적을 통한 방사선치료계획을 분석하여 호흡연동방사선치료에 주로 이용되는 호기상태의 치료계획체적과 비교 분석하여 정상조직이 받은 선량을 알아보았다. 2013년 12월부터 2014년 6월까지 모 대학교병원 방사선종양학과에서 복부부위에 호흡연동방사선치료를 받은 환자 25명을 대상으로 하였으며, 암의 종류는 liver(64%), CBD(8%), gastric(8%), GB(8%), pancreas(8%), SMA(4%)이었다. ITV와 PTV 체적의 평균치는 $471.44cm^3$, $425.48cm^3$ 로 체적의 증가를 알 수 있었고, PTV구간에서 ITV구간으로 선택한 구간의 증가로 인해 정상조직체적 또한 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 정상조직체적의 증가, target volume 증가, 치료조사야 면적증가의 차이와 정상조직이 받은 선량평균치의 차이에서는 right kidney가 유의한 증가를 보였다. 호흡평균치에 따른 정상조직이 받은 선량평균치의 차이는 없었고 target moving과 정상조직의 선량평균치의 차이에서는 both kidney가 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 PTV구간과 ITV구간 체적 설정을 통한 치료방법이 모두 정상조직의 보호선량에 적합하였으며, 처방선량의 95% 이상이 분포하였으므로 환자의 치료목적에 따라 선택적으로 사용되어도 무방할 것이라 사료된다.

  • 본 연구는 3차원 자화강조영상 획득 시 재구성되는 위상영상의 겹쳐진 위상과 현격한 자화율 차이에 의한 영상의 불균일성을, 낮은 주파수 대역폭을 제한하는 High Pass Filter(HPF)를 적용함으로써 개선하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2013년 11월부터 2014년 3월까지 3차원 자화강조영상 검사를 받은 환자를 대상으로 high pass filter의 적용 전후 영상 간 차이를 확인하기 위하여 기존의 위상영상과 HPF를 적용한 새로운 위상영상의 최대, 최소 신호강도 차이 및 불균일도를 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과, HPF 적용 전후에 따른 최대, 최소 신호강도의 차이는 274.16%(498.98), 불균일도는 439.55%(19.83) 감소하였다. 이는 HPF를 적용하여 낮은 주파수를 차단한 새로운 위상영상이 기존의 위상영상에 비해 겹쳐진 위상신호를 효과적으로 제거하여 영상의 균일도가 높아졌음을 의미한다. 결론적으로 3차원 자화강조영상 획득 시 재구성되는 위상영상에 HPF를 적용하면 겹쳐진 위상과 현격한 자화율 차이에 의한 영상의 불균일성을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있어 영상의 질을 크게 개선할 수 있다.

  • Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer (BC) with higher metastatic rate and both local and systemic recurrence compared to non-TNBC. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) secondary to oxidative stress is associated with DNA damage, chromosomal degradation and alterations of both hypermethylation and hypomethylation of DNA. This study concerns differential methylation of promoter regions in specific groups of genes in TNBC and non-TNBC Saudi females in an effort to understand whether epigenetic events might be involved in breast carcinogenesis, and whether they might be used as markers for Saudi BCs. Methylation of glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), T-cadherin (CDH13), Paired box protein 5 (PAX5), death associated protein kinase (DAPK), twist-related protein (TWIST), DNA-binding protein inhibitor (ID4), High In Normal-1 (HIN-1), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (p16), cyclin D2 and retinoic acid receptor-${\beta}$ ($RAR{\beta}1$) genes was analyzed by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) in 200 archival formalin-fixed paraffin embedded BC tissues divided into 3 groups; benign breast tissues (20), TNBC (80) and non-TNBC (100). The relationships between methylation status, and clinical and pathological characteristics of patients and tumors were assessed. Higher frequencies of GSTP1, ID4, TWIST, DAPK, PAX5 and HIN-1 hypermethylation were found in TNBC than in non-TNBC. Hypermethylation of GSTP1, CDH13, ID4, DAPK, HIN-1 and PAX5 increased with tumor grade increasing. Other statistically significant correlations were identified with studied genes. Data from this study suggest that increased hypermethylation of GSTP1, ID4, TWIST, DAPK, PAX5 and HIN-1 genes in TNBC than in non-TNBC can act as useful biomarker for BCs in the Saudi population. The higher frequency of specific hypermethylated genes paralleling tumor grade, size and lymph node involvement suggests contributions to breast cancer initiation and progression.

  • 현재 의료기관은 의학 기술의 발전과 더불어 건강에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 방사선 발생장치의 이용이 급증하고 있다. 방사선으로 인해 환자가 받는 직접적인 피폭을 가능한한 줄이는 목적도 중요하지만 촬영시 공간 내에서 받을 수 있는 간접적인 피폭을 줄여 의료업에 종사하는 의료인, 방사선 작업종사자 및 보호자의 피폭을 줄여야 한다. 엑스선 촬영실에서는 방사선작업종사자 및 보호자에게 방호복의 착용을 권고하고 있으나 불가피하게 방사선작업종사자 및 보호자가 환자의 촬영 보조를 할 경우, 방호복 착용에 의한 중량감 및 불편함 때문에 방호복 착용이 등한시 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 방호복 유무에 따라 공간산란선량을 측정하고 거리, 가로면 각도 및 높이에 따라 측정함으로써 방호복 착용의 중요성을 알아보고자 하였다.

  • Background: Cigarette smoking is a well-established risk factor of pancreatic cancer (PC). Although an association between nicotine dependence phenotype, namely time to first cigarette (TTFC) after waking, and the risk of several smoking-related cancers has been reported, an association between TTFC and PC risk has not been reported. We assessed the impact of smoking behavior, particularly TTFC, on PC risk in a Japanese population. Materials and Methods: We conducted a case-control study using 341 PC and 1,705 non-cancer patients who visited Aichi Cancer Center in Nagoya, Japan. Exposure to risk factors, including smoking behavior, was assessed from the results of a self-administered questionnaire. The impact of smoking on PC risk was assessed with multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Cigarettes per day (CPD) and/or smoking duration were significantly associated with PC risk, consistent with previous studies. For TTFC and PC risk, we found only a suggestive association: compared with a TTFC of more than 60 minutes, ORs were 1.15 (95%CI, 0.65-2.04) for a TTFC of 30-60 minutes and 1.35 (95%CI, 0.85-2.15) for that of 0-30 minutes (p trend=0.139). After adjustment for CPD or smoking duration, no association was observed between TTFC and PC. Conclusions: In this study, we found no statistically significant association between TTFC and PC risk. Further studies concerning TTFC and PC risk are warranted.
