    Notes: Abstract A 52-year-old Japanese man with a slow-growing chondroma originating from the sternal bone was referred to our hospital. A subtotal resection of the sternum was performed, hereafter termed the “sandwich method,” and an originally designed prosthesis made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene and Marlex mesh was used for reconstruction. The postoperative course was uneventful without any symptoms due to paradoxical movement of the chest or regional abscess, and no disturbance in the movement of the upper limbs, such as a surgical sequelae, was observed.

    Serum KL-6, a novel mucin-like glycoprotein, as an indicator of interstitial pneumonitis following lobectomy (1999)

    Notes: Abstract Serum KL-6 has been shown to be a useful marker of active interstitial pneumonitis in patients who have not undergone lobectomy. Considering that KL-6 is produced mainly in the distal airway epithelium, the present study was conducted to determine whether resected lung volume influenced the postoperative KL-6 levels, and also to evaluate whether it is a useful parameter in patients who have undergone lobectomy. The serum KL-6 levels decreased by 36% 1 week after lobectomy, but returned to the preoperative levels by 2 months postoperatively. Although the KL-6 levels increased by 100% 3 to 4 months after lobectomy, the levels were significantly lower than those in interstitial pneumonitis (P〈0.05). The decrease in the KL-6 levels correlated with the number of resected lung segments, but not with the changes in white blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase level, or C-reactive protein level. In comparison with the lobectomy patients, the serum KL-6 levels decreased by half in patients who had undergone partial resection (P〈0.05). The results of this study suggest that the serum KL-6 level may be a useful indicator of interstitial pneumonitis after lobectomy. Serum KL-6 levels are influenced by the volume of the resected lung, and probably also by the upregulation of KL-6 production.

    Increased alveolar fluid clearance following thoracotomy: Report of a case and results of an analysis (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Alveolar fluid clearance was studied in the resected lung of a 58-year-old man who had undergone exploratory thoracotomy 9 days earlier. An isosmolar albumin solution was instilled into the distal air spaces, and the albumin and electrolyte concentrations were measured over 4h. Alveolar sodium and fluid clearance had increased by nearly 200% from the control values in the resected lungs of patients without prior thoracotomy (n=5), and histological examination showed that the number of alveolar type II epithelial cells was markedly elevated. These results suggest that an increase in the number of alveolar type II cells may accelerate alveolar fluid clearance under certain clinical conditions.

    Allelic Loss on 17p13 (TP53) and Allelic Loss on 3p21 in Early Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Roentgenographically occult bronchogenic squamous cell carcinomas are early lung cancers that localize in the bronchial wall, and are thought to be a good model to elucidate the carcinogenesis of lung cancer. In the present study, we analyzed the incidence of allelic losses on chromosome regions 3p21 and 17p13 in 40 cases of roentgenographically occult bronchogenic squamous cell carcinomas, using three microsatellite dinucleotide polymorphic markers. We also investigated the relationship between such allelic loss and the clinicopathological findings of those cases. These chromosome regions showed frequent losses. Moreover, the incidence of loss on 17p13 increased gradually along with the advance of the depth of invasion, while the incidence of loss on 3p21 increased along with the advancing length of the longitudinal extension. These results suggested that these chromosome regions play different roles in lung cancer progression, i.e., the 3p21 chromosome region was related to the longitudinal extension of the carcinoma while the 17p13 (p53) region was related to the depth of invasion.
