Among 238 patients with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma received radiotherapy at Yonsei Cancer center, Yonsei University Medical College, from 1970 to 1981, 30 patients presented with localized(Stage I&II ) gastrointestinal lymphomas. Retrospective analysis of these 30 cases in an attempt to evaluate the influence of various prognostic factors and the effectiveness of therapy is presented. Overall 5 year survival rate of 30 cases of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma was $48\%$. Bulk of residual disease after initial surgery and stage were significant prognostic factors. Stage I with small residual disease treated with post-op irradiation achieved $100\%$ 5 year survival rate. So above group is considered curable with surgery and post-op irradiation. $80\%$ of Stage II with large residual disease were died with intra-abdominal local tumor control failure. Stage II with small residual disease showed $31.5\%$ 5 year survival rate. Non of them died with local failure. So, we suggest that complete surgical resection of tumor mass should be attempted initially in the management of localized gastrointestinal lypmhomas and systemic chemotherapy is needed in addition to post-op irradiation in the cases of Stage II and large residual disease after initial surgery.

Alzheimer's disease constitutes a large proportion of all neurodegenerative diseases and is mainly caused by excess aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ), which results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the neurons. Populus tomentiglandulosa belongs to the Salicaceae family and is widely distributed in Korea; the antioxidant activities of the extract and fractions from P. tomentiglandulosa have been demonstrated in previous studies. Specifically, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction of P. tomentiglandulosa (EtOAc-PT) shows the most powerful antioxidative activity. Therefore, the present study investigates the protective effects of EtOAc-PT against neuronal damage in Aβ_25-35-stimulated SH-SY5Y cells. EtOAc-PT restored cell viability significantly as well as inhibited the levels of reactive oxygen species and lactate dehydrogenase release compared to the Aβ_25-35-induced control group. Furthermore, the inflammation- and apoptosis-related protein expressions were investigated to demonstrate its neuroprotective mechanism. EtOAc-PT downmodulated the expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, B-cell lymphoma 2 associated X, and B-cell lymphoma 2. Thus, the findings show that EtOAc-PT has protective effects against Aβ_25-35 by suppressing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between plasma EBV-DNA concentration and clinicopathologic features of Hodgkin's lymphoma cases. Methods: At first, the positive rate of plasma EBV-DNA was determined with a nested-PCR method using 45 specimens from Uygur HL patients, as well as 110 healthy people sampled as normal controls. Secondly, using fluorescent quantitative nested-PCR, EBV viral load was assessed in the EBV-DNA positive plasma samples. Then, relationships between plasma EBV viral load and clinicopathologic features of HL patients were analyzed. Results: The positive rate of plasma EBV-DNA of HL patients was significantly higher than that of normal controls (53.3% vs 26.4%, P=0.001). There was no significant difference about plasma EBV viral load between EBV-associated HL and EBV-DNA positive normal people (P=0.490). Looking at patients' characteristics, plasma EBV viral load in 10-20 years EBV-associated HL was higher than in EBV cases which were less than 10 years or more than 35 years (P=0.025). Furthermore, in EBV-associated HL, concentration of plasma EBV-DNA was significantly higher in advanced stage disease (stages III-IV; P=0.013), and with B-symptoms (P=0.020). Conclusion: EBV-DNA levels were associated with part of clinicopathologic features of cases. It was of practical use to screen HL. Further etiological studies appear warranted.

Background: This study was conducted to analyze positron emission tomography (PET) / computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performance with oropharyngeal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (ONHL).Materials and Methods: The complete image data of 30 ONHL cases were analyzed, all patients were performed PET / CT and MRI examination before the treatment, with the time interval of these two inspections not exceeding 14 days. The distribution, morphology, MRI signal characteristics, enhancement feature, standardized uptake value (SUV) max value and lymph node metastasis way of the lesions were analyzed. Results: Among the 30 cases, 23 cases were derived from the B-cell (76.7%), 5 cases were derived from the peripheral T cells (16.7%) and 2 cases were derived from the NK/T cells (6.7%). 19 cases exhibited the palatine tonsil involvement (63.3%). As for the lesion appearance, 10 cases appeared as mass, 8 cases were the diffused type and 12 cases were the mixed type. 25 cases exhibited the SUVmax value of PET / CT primary lesions as 11 or more (83.3%). MRI showed that all patients exhibited various degrees of parapharyngeal side-compressed narrowing, but MRI still exhibited the high-signal fat, and the oropharyngeal mucosa was intact. 25 cases were associated with the neck lymph node metastasis, among who 22 cases had no necrosis in the metastatic lymph nodes, while the rest 3 cases exhibited the central necrosis in the metastatic lymph nodes. Conclusions: PET / CT and MRI have important value in diagnosing and determining the lesion extent of ONHL.

목적: F-18 FDG PET/CT는 비호지킨 림프종 환자의 병기를 결정하는데 높은 민감도와 특이도를 보인다. 그러나 말초성 T 세포 림프종 환자를 평가하는데 있어 F-18 FDG PET/CT의 유용성에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 따라서 말초성 T세포 림프종, 특히 지연성 피부 T세포 림프종 환자에서의 F-18 FDG PET/CT의 유용성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 조직검사를 통해 지연성 피부 T세포 림프종과 비피부성 T세포 림프종으로 진단 후 병기결정을 위하여 F-18 FDG PET-ET를 시행받은 25명의 환자(남:여=17:8, 나이 $53.7{\pm}14.8$세)를 대상으로 하였다. PET/CT에서 모든 비정상 병변의 최대 표준섭취계수(p-SUV)를 측정하고 피부 병변과 비피부 병변으로 구분하여 섭취정도를 비교하였다. 결과: 총 25명의 환자 중 6명은 피부성 T세포 림프종(피부 T세포 림프종 5명, 림프종양 구진증 1명)이었고, 19명은 비피부성 T세포 림프종(상세불명의 말초성 T세포 림프종 10명, 림프절외 NK/T세포 림프종 3명, 장 병변 T 세포 림프종 2명, 피하지방층염양 T세포 림프종 1명, 이형성 거대세포 림프종 3명)이었다. 조직학적으로 지연 피부성 T 세포 림프종으로 진단된 피부 병변에서 6명의 환자 모두 의미있는 FDG 섭취 소견은 보이지 않았다. 그러나 피부성 T 세포 림프종을 가진 2명의 환자는 림프종 침범으로 생각되는 비피부성 병변(림프절)이 CT에서 보였고 이 병변들에 FDG 섭취 증가 양상을 보였다.(p-SUV=$4.26{\pm}0.37$). 비피부성 T 세포 림프종 환자에서는 CT에서 관찰된 모든 림프종 병변에 FDG 섭취 증가 양상을 보였다(p-SUV=$8.52{\pm}5.00)$. 이와 같이 말초성 T세포 림프종 환자에서 피부 병변과 비피부성 병변 사이의 FDG 섭취 정도는 큰 차이를 보였다. 결론: PET/CT는 지연성 피부 T세포 림프종 환자에서 피부 병변을 평가하는 데는 제한점을 갖는다. 그러나 피부 T세포 림프종과 비피부성 T세포 림프종 모두에서 비피부성 병변을 평가하여 병기 결정하는 데는 PET/CT가 유용하였다.

Neurolymphomatosis is a complication of lymphoma and initial presentation of cranial nerve involvement has been rarely reported. We describe a patient with neurolymphomatosis who presented as facial palsy mimicking steroid responsive Bell's palsy, a common and benign condition. This case shows that even minor neurologic deficit of lymphoma patient should not be absolutely regarded as a benign condition.

To develope the novel anti-allergic drug, many sophoricoside derivatives were synthesized. Among these derivatives, JSH-II-3, JSH-Ⅵ-3, JSH-Ⅶ-3, and JSH-Ⅷ-3 were selected and subjected to high throughput toxicity screening (HTTS) because they revealed strong IL-5 inhibitory activity and limitation of quantity. Mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase (tk$\^$+/-/) gene assay (MOLY) and single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay in mammalian cells were used as HTTS tool in our laboratory. In MOLY assay, JSH-Ⅶ-3 at 50 ∼ 6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml concentrations was not shown significant mutagenic effect in the absence and presence of S-9 metabolic activation system. However, the concentration of ISH-II-3, 38 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, induced increased mutation frequency (MF) in the presence of S-9 metabolic activation system. Also in comet assay, DNA damage was not observed in JSH-Ⅵ-3 and JSH-Ⅶ-3, wherase concentration of 32.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in JSH-II-3 and 13.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in JSH-Ⅶ-3 were induced DNA damage in the absence of S-9 metabolic activation system. Therefore, we suggest that JSH-Ⅵ-3 and JSH-Ⅶ-3 have no genotoxic effects but JSH-II-3 and JSH-Ⅷ-3 induce some mutagenicity and DNA strand breaks in mouse lymphoma cell line used this study.

Background and Objective: Kikuchi's disease(KD) is an idiopathic, self-limited lymphadenopathy that was described as a distinctive type of necrotizing lymphadenitis affecting primarily cervical lymph nodes of young adults independently by Kikuchi and Fujimoto et al at first in 1972. The purpose of this study is a knowledge about clinicopathologic findings, many laboratory tests and differentiation of KD from other lymphadenitis due to lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) and many viral disease. Materials and Methods: Thirty-four case of KD collected at Chonnam University Hospital in Kwang-Ju from 1992 through 2000 were evaluated with retrospective chart review. Results: The patients were consisted of 11 men and 23 women. All patients had tender or nontender cervical mass and fever was the most common associated symptom. The others was pain, weight loss, chills, cold sweating and headache et al. Multiple bilateral involvement of cervical lymphnodes was 25 cases(74%) and solitary involvement was 9 cases(26%). In laboratory tests, leukopenia was 12 cases(75%), elevated ESR 5 cases (34%) and elevated LDH 11 cases(69%). Conclusion: KD is necessary to differentiate from lymphoma and SLE, because of the different of therapeutic modality and prognosis. The diagnosis is established on the basis of histopathologic studies with excisional biopsy of lymph node.

Background and Objectives: Kikuchi's disease or subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis is a cause of persistently enlarged lymph nodes unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. It affects predominantly young women under the age of 30, and it is seen primarily in the Asian population. Although this disease usually follows a benign course, all describing a clinical entity that has been mistaken for malignant lymphoma, lupus, and an assortment of infectious diseases. The purpose of this study is to report clinical characteristics and treatment outcome in order to contribute to the precise diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 27 cases, who were diagnosed as subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis on excisional biopsy during the past 5 years from January 1998 to December 2002. Results: It occurred more often in females (20 cases ; 74%) than males (7cases ; 26%), and it was seen more frequently in the second and third decades (21 cases ; 78%). Cervical lymphadenopathy were usually multiple (24 cases, 89%) and measured less than 2cm (20 cases, 74%). The posterior cervical and deep jugular chains are the most common location(34 cases ; 81%). Leukopenia(18 cases, 67%) and elevated ESR(20 cases, 75%) were commonly noted in laboratory data. Conclusions: It is easy that Kikuchi's disease is mistaken for malignant lymphoma. So we should consider fine needle aspiration or open biosy of lymph node for histologic diagnosis in patients who have localized cervical lymphadenopathy unresponsive to antibiotic therapy.
