부신에서 기원하는 종양 중 갈색세포종은 일반적으로 고형 병변으로 발현되지만, 드물게 낭성 병변으로 발견되는 경우도 있다 . 고혈압과 동반된 부신의 낭성병변에 대해서 갈색세포종을 감별 진단으로 포함시킬 필요가 있으며, 이를 간과할 경우 다발성 장기 부전을 동반하는 고혈압 위기를 초래할 수 있다. 수술 전후에 있어 적절한 조치가 고혈압성 위기를 예방하는 데 있어 중요하다. 저자들은 부신 낭성 부신 병변에 대한 초음파 내시경 유도하 조직 검사로 인하여 유발된 고혈압성 위기가 발생한 갈색세포종 증례를 경험하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is associated with porcine circovirus diseases (PCVD), of which postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome is considered to cause considerable economic losses in pig industry worldwide. As the virus-like particle (VLP) is a highly effective type of subunit vaccine and has unique advantages in terms of safety and immunogenicity, this study aimed to develop PCV2-like particles, which matched currently circulating Korean PCV2 and were applicable as vaccines. The ORF2 genes encoding PCV2 capsid protein were amplified from the PCV2 subgroup 1A/B Korean C275 isolate and the subgroup 2E C94 isolate by PCR assay with primer pair specific to PCV2 ORF2 gene, and were cloned into baculovirus transfer vector. Recombinant baculovirus was generated by cotransfection with the transfer vector and linear baculovirus DNA into the Sf9 cells, and then by plaque purification. Expression of PCV2 capsid protein was determined by the indirect immunofluorescence and Western blotting assays, and electron microscopy. By both immunological assays, PCV2 capsid antigen was detected in the Sf9 cells infected with the recombinant baculoviruses. The formation of empty virus particles, characteristic of VLP, was detected in the lysate of Sf9 cells infected with the recombinant baculoviruses by negative electron microscopy. From these results, VLPs of two genogroups of PCV2 were successfully expressed and generated in a baculovirus expression system. It is expected that the expressed VLPs of two genotypic groups can be used for control of PCV2 infection as good vaccine candidates.
