RESUMEN

Objective@#To clarify the frequency of deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in Japanese ovarian cancer patients, we examined microsatellite instability (MSI) status and immunohistochemistry (IHC) subtypes, including endometrioid carcinoma (EMC), clear cell carcinoma (CCC), or a mixture of both (Mix). @*Methods@#We registered 390 patients who were diagnosed with EMC/CCC/Mix between 2006 and 2015 and treated at seven participating facilities. For 339 patients confirmed eligible by the Central Pathological Review Board, MSI, IHC, and MutL homolog 1 methylation analyses were conducted. The tissues of patients with Lynch syndrome (LS)-related cancer histories, such as colorectal and endometrial cancer, were also investigated. @*Results@#MSI-high (MSI-H) status was observed in 2/217 CCC (0.9%), 10/115 EMC (8.7%), and 1/4 Mix (25%). Additionally, loss of MMR protein expression (LoE-MMR) was observed in 5/219 (2.3%), 16/115 (14.0%), and 1/4 (25%) patients with CCC, EMC, and Mix, respectively. Both MSI-H and LoE-MMR were found significantly more often in EMC (p<0.001). The median (range) ages of patients with MMR expression and LoE-MMR were 54 (30–90) and 46 (22–76) (p=0.002), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, advanced stage and histological type were identified as prognostic factors. @*Conclusion@#The dMMR rate for EMC/CCC was similar to that reported in Western countries. In Japan, it is assumed that the dMMR frequency is higher because of the increased proportion of CCC.

RESUMEN

The number of fatalities in Japan attributable to lung cancer exceeded 50000 in 2001. It is socially desirable that various markers, which can be utilized for the prevention of lung cancer, be established. We believe that smoking or exposure to carcinogens in air induces mutations in bronchial and alveolar epithelia, leading to the development of lung cancer. It would be useful to have markers of individual differences in susceptibility to chemical carcinogen-induced lung cancer 1) to identify genetic polymorphisms of enzymes metabolizing chemical carcinogens and 2) to investigate the expression of enzymes metabolizing chemical carcinogens. In this paper, we review CYP expression in the bronchial epithelium. CYP1, CYP2 and CYP3 are expressed in the bronchial epithelium. We also show the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and a person’s susceptibility to chemical carcinogen-induced lung cancer. We demonstrate the relationship between cigarette consumption and the CYP expression profile in the bronchial epithelium. To maintain and promote public health, we must apply evidence, such as CYP polymorphisms and CYP profiles to disease prevention and also to aggressively advance evidence-based prevention (EBP) of lung cancer.

RESUMEN

Recently, there has been an increase in reports of allergic reactions to Kampo medicines. In order to elucidate the mechanisms of these so-called Kampo allergies, suitable methods are necessary to detect allergens in crude drugs and allergenspecific antibodies in sensitized individuals. In this study, methodology and sensitivity were studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analysis. The antigens used were haptenized baicalin and high-molecular-weight components of Ginseng Radix, both derived from Shosaiko-to extract.<br>Attempts were also made to further identify antigens from Shosaiko-to and detect antigenspecific antibodies in immunized rabbits.
