Glioblastomas (GBMs) maintain their cellular heterogeneity with glioma stem cells (GSCs) producing a variety of tumor cell types. Here we interrogated the oncogenic roles of Lim domain only 2 (LMO2) in GBM and GSCs in mice and human. High expression of LMO2 was found in human patient-derived GSCs compared with the differentiated progeny cells. LMO2 is required for GSC proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, as shRNA-mediated LMO2 silencing attenuated tumor growth derived from human GSCs. Further, LMO2 is sufficient to induce stem cell characteristics (stemness) in mouse premalignant astrocytes, as forced LMO2 expression facilitated in vitro and in vivo growth of astrocytes derived from Ink4a/Arf null mice and acquisition of GSC phenotypes. A subset of mouse and human GSCs converted into vascular endothelial-like tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo, which phenotype was attenuated by LMO2 silencing and promoted by LMO2 overexpression. Mechanistically, the action of LMO2 for induction of glioma stemness is mediated by transcriptional regulation of Jagged1 resulting in activation of the Notch pathway, whereas LMO2 directly occupies the promoter regions of the VE-cadherin gene for a gain of endothelial cellular phenotype. Subsequently, selective ablation of human GSC-derived VE-cadherin-expressing cells attenuated vascular formation in mouse intracranial tumors, thereby significantly prolonging mouse survival. Clinically, LMO2 expression was elevated in GBM tissues and inversely correlated with prognosis of GBM patients. Taken together, our findings describe novel dual roles of LMO2 to induce tumorigenesis and angiogenesis, and provide potential therapeutic targets in GBMs.

In the guidelines of Advanced Trauma Life Support(ATLS), essential plane roentgenograms (chest AP vIew, cervical spine lateral view and pelvis AP view) are recommanded when primary survey and resuscitation phase are finished in care of multiple injured patients. A prospective study was carried on 376 multiple trauma patients who admitted to Wonju Christian Hospital from July, 1995 to October. We analyzed clinical significance of essential X-ray in multiple trauma patients, and classified the patients by their status of mentality. The one is alert group when their Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS) is over 13 point, the other is disoriented mentality group when their GCS are below 12 point. The alert group was redivided by presence of clnical symptoms and/or signs, and clinical significances of essential X-ray were analyzed. Among the 376 patients, 330 patients are alert group that their GCS score is over 13 point and 46 patients are disoriented group who's GCS were below 12 point. The detection rate of abnormality in essential X-ray is higher in disoriented group than alert group(cervical-spine lateral view : 13.5% vs 3.0% cheat AP view : 0.4%, pelvis AP view : 0%). This study suggests that their are no needs of taking essential X-ray in patients who is alert in mental state and have no clinical symptoms and/or signs.

Background : Cardiac arrest is a potent stimulus for the release of endogenous catecholamine and high plasma catecholamine concentration has been reported during cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). Few data were present about the clinical effect of high plasma catecholamine and endogenous catecholamine response to exogenous epinephrine administration during CPR. Purpose : This study was designed to evaluate endogenous catecholamine response to cardiac arrest and exogenously administered epinephrine during CPR. Method : In 21 cardiac arrest victims, blood sample for epinephrine and norepinephrine was drawn before and 1 minute after each epinephrine administration during CPR. 1mg of epinephrine was administered immediately after intravenous access and 3 minute interval during CPR. Plasma catecholamines were quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Result : Baseline plasma epinephrine concentraqtion was higher in patients with cardiac arrest than normal controls (985±1627 vs 194±173 pg/ml, p<0.05). Baseline plasma norepinephrine concentration was also elevated in patients with cardiac arrest than normal controls, although statistically insignificnat(1965±4915 vs 360±250 pg/ml). Plasma epinephrine concentration in cardiac arrest patients was significantly elevated after exogenous administration of epinephrine, but its response was blunted after the third does of epinephrine. Plasma norepinephrine concentration in cardiac arrest patients was also elevated, but its response was observed only after the first epinephrine administration. Plasma epinephrine concentration was persistently higher in patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) than patients without ROSC. there was no significant difference of plasma norepinephrine concentration whether spontaneous circulation was restored or not. Endogenous epinephrine response to exogenous epinephrine was not observed in patients having prolonged arrest time over 20 minutes. Conclusion : Results of this study suggests that significant amount of catecholamine is released by exogenous epinephrine administration in spite of high plasma catecholamine concentration, and degree of endogenous catecholamine response influences resuscitation outcome.

The future society is expected to be rapidly change in all areas, that is, the length of change time is becoming much smaller than that of generation time. It is very important to prepare the citizens who possess scientific literacy which actively cope with the rapid changes and specialization of society. The sources of rapid changes may be due to the developments in science and technology. Therefore, the importance of science education will be increasingly high. Scientific literacy should be improved basically and systematically from the early stages of formal education. Teachers who are responsible to educate children should be able to research in the areas of science education as well as science itself, and to have capacity to transmit them to the classroom. To do this, the graduate course and the science education within the system beyond the level of college education are essential parts of teacher education. In the graduate course, it is important that science itself and pedagogy of science should be balanced.

This study examined the changes of stomatal distribution(density, frequency) in a few plants with the variation of changes in soil-water. Commelina communis L., which is one of C_3 plants, have anomocytic type of stomata. Digitaria sanguianalis Scop. which belongs to C_4 plants, and Portulaca oleracea L. which is CAM plants, have paracytic, and anisocytic types of stomata, respectively. In C. communis L., the stomatal size of upper side of leaves was greater than that of lower parts. In both of D. sanguianalis Scop. and P. oleracea L., this trend was opposite. As the moisture in soils decreased, the stomatal size was decreased. The stomatal densities in these three species were greater in lower sides than those of upper sides. Finally, the stomatal densities of these plants showed trends of more stomata per unit area as the moisture of soil decrease. These results suggest that the plants adopt the efficient water-use strategies.

The need for rapid diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening thoracic and intra-abdominal injury result in controversy over the appropriate triage of unconscious blunt trauma patients. To aid in early decisions for these patients, a prospective analysis of 98 patients with glasgow coma scale(GCS) scores≤8 was undertaken. Although intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal injuries were frequently identified based on systolic blood ressure, the use of clinical signs alone resulted in more missed injuries than did using the emergency ultrasonography. In normotensive patients(n=34), intra-thoracic injuries was identified in one patient(2.9%), and intra-abdominal injuries were in 7 patients(20.6%). In shock(systolic blood pressure<90mmHg) Pa-tients(n=64), thoracic injuries and intra-abdominal injuries were diagnosed in 8(12.5%) and 27 patients(42.3%), thoracic and abdominal combined injuries were identified in 11 patients(17.2%). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of emergency ultrasonography were 96.3%, 91.7%, 94.9%. This study suggests that all unconscious trauma patients undergo immediate emergency ultrasonography to prevent missing life-threatening injuries.

The purpose of this study are to analyze the nature of STS education and to suggest its effective teaching method based on the brain functions of school children. In the future, the scientific literacy will be increasingly influence our daily lives. Science proposes explanations for observations about the natural world, and technology proposes solutions for problems of human adaptation to the environment. Many scientist, science educators, and other citizens are becoming increasingly concerned about the societal implications of science and technology. A major reason for tease concerns is that what is discovered through science and technology can be used for the benefit or detriment of society. So it can be concluded the science, technology, and society have very close relationships. In science teaching, STS themes should be used purposely. One efficient way to do this is to help children identify STS issues and problems that are relevant to their everyday lives and society in general. It should be focused on a variety information, knowledge, ideas, or cognitive styles contained in children's brain. When these various ideas or information are incorporated via genuine cooperative activities, more large, or creative ideas that would be key role in solving ambiguous problems such as STS issues can be generated. This aspect of teaching can be used to enhance the abilities of children in solving problems.

The Ultrasonography is rapid, mobile, and noninvasive diagnostic tool in emergency center. As a result, we estimate it`s value as an advocated primary diagnostic modality in the immediate evaluation of patients with multiple trauma. We investigated 60 patients with traumatic hematuria(microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria) who visited our emergency department from 1995, July to 1996, March. To evaluate the injury of urinary systems, emergency physician examined patients with hematuria by ultrasonography, and comapared the results with those of excretory urography and computed tomography. We demonstrated 21 positive findings for abnormal fluid collection and renal parenchymal injury and bladder rupture on ultrasonography. All bladder injuries were diagnosised by ultrasonography, and all major renal injury(grade Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ) were also diagnosised by that. The accuracy of emergency ultrasound examination in traumatic hematuria was 97.0%, and sensitivity was 95.0% with specificity of 97.4%. The ultrasonography was an accurate diagnostic adjunct in detecting renal injury and bladder injury in traumatic hematuria patients. Ultrasonography provides an excellent noninvasive diagnostic tool for the initial screening study of patients with traumatic hematuria.

This study examined the influences of cooperative construction of portfolio about some concepts in life science in the elementary school. These included four concepts of classification of living organism, comparison, ecosystem, and adaptation to environment. Cooperative activities in the construction of portfolio facilitated the acquisition of correct concepts. Especially, highly significant difference in the area of classification of living things appeared between the traditional and cooperative portfolio groups. When we compared the four concepts, the scores of cooperative group about correct concepts were higher than those of individualistic group. It was revealed that the individualistic construction limited the interaction among children, and children and teacher, while the activities of cooperative construction portfolio activated reflective thinking of children. These results suggest the importance of active and various interaction among children-children and children-teacher. There were no significant differences between the individualistic and traditional groups. As the interaction among children-children and children-teacher activated, it became general trends that children corrected, modified, or complemented their portfolios and became more enthusiastic in such activities. Whole results implied that cooperative and interactive activities have positive influences in the acquisition of correct science concepts.
