    Notes: Abstract From August 1983 through March 1995, 204,099 people received ultrasonic mass survey of the abdomen for the first time. Among these examinees, 631 (0.31%) malignant neoplasm cases, such as 201 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 81 gallbladder (GB) cancer, 57 pancreatic cancer, and 169 renal cell carcinoma (RCC), were detected. Three hundred seventy six out of 590 cases (64%), excluding chronic leukemia cases and metastatic liver cancer cases, were surgically resected. The resection rate of HCC, GB cancer, pancreatic cancer, and RCC were 25%, 88%, 49%, and 99%, respectively. The cumulative survival rate of the 376 resected cases was 79.5% at 10 years. The cumulative survival rates of resected cases of HCC, GB cancer, pancreatic cancer and RCC were 34% at ten years, 83% at 10 years, 49% at 7 years, and 99% at 10 years, respectively. Ultrasonic mass survey is dramatically useful for early detection of various kinds of abdominal cancers, especially RCC and GB cancer. From now on, many earlier abdominal cancers will be found by establishing and promoting ultrasonic mass survey systems.

    Interleukin-7 (IL-7)-induced proliferation of CD8+ T-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (1992)

    Notes: Abstract Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is a growth factor for pro-B cells, pre-B cells, and thymocytes and is known to induce the proliferation of normal human peripheral T cells. Moreover, human B and T acute leukemia cells with immature surface markers proliferate in response to IL-7. Here we describe a case of T-chronic lymphocytic leukemia, in which the leukemic cells showed a proliferative response to human recombinant IL-7in vitro. The patient was a 74-year-old woman with anemia and thrombocytopenia, whose bone marrow was fibrosed and infiltrated with pathologic cells. Surface markers of the leukemic cells were CD2(+), CD3(+), CD5(+), CD7(+), CD8(+), and CD4(−). Both T-cell receptor β-chain and γ-chain genes were found to be rearranged by immunogenotypic analysis. The leukemic cells proliferated in response to IL-7 dose dependently. The DNA synthesis of CLL cells was stimulated by not only IL-7 but also IL-2 and IL-4. The IL-7-induced proliferation was not inhibited by antibodies to IL-2 receptors or the anti-IL-4 antibody. These findings indicate that IL-7 may induce the proliferation of peripheral CD8+ T cells, even on its pathological counterpart.

    Electron microscopic morphometry of chronic type lymphoid leukemias (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Malignant cells from 1 case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia of the T-cell type (T-CLL), 5 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia of the B-cell type (B-CLL), 1 case of prolymphocytic leukemia of the B-cell type (B-PLL), 1 case of lymphocytic lymphoma of intermediate differentiation of the B-cell type (B-ILL), 1 case of splenic B-cell lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes (SLVL), and 2 cases of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) were measured on electron micrographs. The area of the cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleoli, and the perimeters of nuclei were measured and the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio, nucleolo-nuclear ratio, and nuclear contour index (NCI) were calculated. Malignant cells from B-PLL had the largest cytoplasmic, nuclear, and nucleolar areas. The NCI was largest (4.74) in T-CLL. B-ILL, B-PLL, and SLVL had an intermediate (4.5) NCI. HCL and B-CLL had the smallest (4.1) NCI. Lymphoid cells in SLVL were smaller in size than HCL cells and had a higher NCI than that of HCL. Thus, electron microscopic morphometry can provide further information to aid in distinguishing chronic type lymphoid leukemias.
