STUDIES ON AVIAN VISCERAL LYMPHOMATOSIS I. THE INCREASED INCIDENSE AMONG CHICKEN FLOCKS AND PATHOLOGIC PICTURES

장기형임파종증(臟器型淋巴腫症)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究) 1. 계군(鷄群)에서의 임파종증(淋巴腫症)의 발생(發生) 및 병리학적소견(病理學的所見)

1). An nanlysis was made of 3,500 postmortem diagnoses for the three years 1961 through 1963 to determine whether there was any actual incidence of avian visceral lymphomntosis in the field. Chickens autopsied, which showed gross alterations were 7.6 percent or 266 cases. The diminished incidence of the disease in second and third years seemed due to decreased total numbers of chicken flocks year by year for the reason of difficult feed supply. 2). Because chickens autopsied in this study were not clearly known of their breeds and lines, no distinct data on the incidence in various breeds were made. Some exact breeds were in too small numbers to have any statistical significance. Inconceivably, no other types of avian leukosis than visceral lymphomatosis had been observed in any appreciable number in this analysis. 3). Pathologic analysis for affected organs was made grossly and microscopically. In the gross pictures, liver, spleen, kidney, ovary, and in some case, intestine principally showed lesions, but its manifestation was variable in different organs. In such organs, livers were affected more frequently, and spleens followed next. The organs were classified and arranged according to the gross alterations, and among their distribution one-half of livers were in diffuse variety; one-fourths in nodular; about one-sevenths in mixed; and granular variety followed next. In the spleen samples, two-thirds were in diffuse variety; one-fourths in nodular; and follicular only in three cases. Ovaries almost showed follicular lesions, the diffused were less than one-fifths of total specimens. Kidneys were occurred almost in diffuse variety. And intestine showed only nodular tomors. Microscopically, 42 cases of visceral lymphomatosis composed of 24 livers, 10 spleens, 3 kidneys, 3 intestines and 2 ovaries were examined. The tumor cells were lymphoid cells showing various component in size, shape and stainability. Mitotic figures were usually present. The proportion of the component cells were various in all cases and there were variations in the distribution of the tumor cells. The types of distribution were classified according to the standard proposed by Horiuchi as nodular, infiltrative and diffuse proliferation. In cases of visceral lymphomatosis of the livers and the spleens the types of infiltrative, nodular and diffuse proliferation could be classified. In the cases of the kidneys the types of diffuse and nodular proliferation were observed. In the cases of the intestines and the ovaries the types of infiltrative and diffuse proliferation were observed respectively.

계백혈병군중(鷄白血病群中) 특(特)히 장기형임파종증(臟器型淋巴腫症)은 한국전쟁이후(韓國戰爭以後) 계군(鷄群)의 증가(增加)와 더불어 점차(漸次) 그 발생(發生)이 많아져 양계업계(養鷄業界)에 상당(相當)한 손해(損害)를 끼치는 것으로 주목(注目)되어 왔다. 저자(著者)들은 야외계군(野外鷄群)에서의 장기형임파종증(臟器型淋巴腫症)의 발생상황(發生狀況)을 조사(調査)하기 위(爲)하여, 1961년(年)~1963년(年)의 3년간(年間)에 본대학실험실(本大學實驗室)과 춘천지역(春川地域)의 양계장(養鷄場) 및 닭 소매상(小賣商)에서 부검관찰(剖檢觀察)할 수 있었던 계체(鷄體)에 대(對)해서, 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1). 총(總) 3,500의 부검예중(剖檢例中) 266 례(例)(7.6%)에서, 한가지 이상(以上)의 장기(臟器)에서 장기형임파종증(臟器型淋巴腫症)의 병변(病變)을 관찰(觀察)하였다. 이 비율(比率)은 제외국(諸外國)의 것에 비(比)하여 낮은 율(率)이나, 우리나라의 전사양계군수(全飼養鷄群數)와 그간(間)의 관찰계수(觀察鷄數)를 고려(考慮)할 때, 본병(本病)이 가금질병중(家禽疾病中)에서 상당(相當)한 비중(比重)을 차지할 것으로 예상(豫想)된다. 저자(著者)들이 검안(檢案)한 범위내(範圍內)에서는 장기형임파종증(臟器型淋巴腫症) 이외(以外)의 다른형(型)(백혈병군중(白血病群中))은 관찰(觀察)되지 않았다. 2). 육안적병변(肉眼的病變)은 간(肝), 비(脾), 신(腎), 난소(卵巢) 및 장(腸)에서 관찰(觀察)되었고, 제외국(諸外國)의 보고(報告)처럼 심(心), 폐등(肺等)에서는 관찰(觀察)되지않았다. 그 발생빈도(發生頻度)는 간(肝)이 가장 높았으며, 그 다음으로 비(脾), 난소(卵巢), 신(腎), 장(腸)의 순(順)을 따랐고, 각장기(各臟器)는 단독(單獨) 또는 여러가지 조성(組成)으로 병변(病變)을 나타내었다. 그 육안적병변(肉眼的病變)은 Horiuchi(1961)의 분류기준(分類基準)에 따라 각형(各型)으로 관찰(觀察)되었다. 즉(卽) 간(肝)은 미만형(46.5%), 결절형(結節型)(25.1%), 과립형(顆粒型)(14%), 혼합형(混合型)(14.4%)으로, 비(脾)는 미만형(64%), 결절형(結節型)(32%), 여포종대형(濾胞腫大型)(4%)으로, 난소(卵巢)는 미만형(19%) 및 여포종대형(濾胞腫大型)(81%), 신(腎)은 미만형(91%) 및 결절형(結節型)(9%), 장(腸)은 다만 결절형(結節型)으로 각각(各各) 분류(分類)되었다. 3). 병리조직학적병변(病理組織學的病變)은 Horiuchi(1961)의 분류기준(分類基準)에 따라, 24 례(例)의 간(肝) 및 10 례(例)의 비(脾)에 있어서, 침윤성증식형(浸潤性增殖型), 결절성증식형(結節性增殖型) 및 미만성증식형으로 관찰(觀察)되었고, 3 례(例)의 신(腎)에 있어서 미만성증식형과 결절성증식형(結節性增殖型)이, 3 례(例)의 장(腸)에 있어서 침윤성증식형(浸潤性增殖型)이, 2 례(例)의 난소(卵巢)에 있어서 침윤성증식형(浸潤性增殖型)이 관찰(觀察)되었다. 이와같은 증식형태(增殖形態)를 보이는 목종양세포(木腫瘍細胞)는 임파구계(淋巴球系)에 속(屬)하는 것으로 생각되는 세포(細胞)로, 크기, 모양 및 염색성(染色城)이 다양(多樣)하였다.
