Background: The number of elderly patients with end-stage kidney disease has been increasing, but the outcomes of kidney transplants (KT) remain poorly understood in elderly patients. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of elderly KT recipients and analyzed the impact of elderly donors. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent KT between 2000 and 2019. KT recipients were divided into four groups according to a combination of recipient and donor age (≥60 or <60 years); elderly recipients: old-to-old (n = 46) and young-to-old (n = 83); young recipients: old-to-young (n = 98) and young-to-young (n = 796). We compared the risks of mortality, graft failure, and acute rejection between groups using Cox regression analysis. Results: The incidence of delayed graft function, graft failure, and acute rejection was not different among groups. Annual mean tacrolimus trough level was not lower in elderly recipients than young recipients during 10-year follow-up. Mortality was significantly higher in elderly recipients (p = 0.001), particularly infection-related mortality (p < 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, old-toold and young-to-old groups had increased risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14– 7.32; p = 0.03; aHR, 3.06; 95% CI, 1.51–6.20; p = 0.002). However, graft failure and acute rejection risks were not increased in elderly recipients. Conclusion: In elderly recipients, graft survival and acute rejection-free survival were not inferior to those of young recipients. However, mortality, especially risk of infection-related death, was increased in elderly recipients. Thus, low immunosuppression intensity might help decrease mortality in elderly recipients.

Kyung Sam Cho¹Si Young Kim¹, Jai Kyung Park²,Seung Hoon Choi³,Se Young Chung⁴, Hwi Joong Yoon¹¹College of Medicine, ²East-West Medical Research Institute, ³College of Oriental Medicine, ⁴College of Pharmacology, Kyung Hee University,Seoul, Korea. The Anti-cancer Effect of Oriental Medicine Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang in the Mouse with Metastatic Lung Cancer. Proceedings of International Symposium on East-West Medicine, Seoul. 231-243, 1999.-The oriental medicine Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang is an herbal medicine which has been used for pulmonary diseases and known as having immune stimulatory effects. It has been known effective in lung cancer. So we studied the effects and the mechanisms of this herbal medicine it the mouse with metastatic lung cancer. The metastatic lung cancer of the mouse was produced with melnoma cell line(B16BL/6).5×10□/mouse tumor cells were injected intravenously to the CDF1 mouse via tail vein. The mice were divided 4 groups. The first group was treated with 50mg/kg extract of Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang per oral for 10 days after cancer cell injection, second group treated with saline after cancer cell injection, the third group with medicine without cancer cell, and the last group with saline only. After 10 days treatments some of the mice were scarificed and the lung and spleen was removed. The survival duration, weight change, the number of metastatic cancer nodule of the lung, the NK cell activity, the capacity of cytokines(INF-γ,INF-α,IL-2) production and the proliferation activities of mouse lymphocytes were measured. The surival times of the group 1 mice were longer and the weight loss was less than the group 2 significantly. The number of the metastatic nodule of the lung were decresed in the group 1 than the group 2. The production of INF-γ,was increase in group 2 than group 3 and 4, IL-2 production was increased in group 1 than group 2,3,4 significantly. There was no difference in TNF- α production and proliferation activity of lymphocyte in each group. The NK cell activity was significantly increased in group 1 than group 2,3,4. We conclude that the Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang has the effect of increasing the NK cell activity of the CDF1 mouse with metastatic lung cancer(B16BL/6). And it is suggested that the increased production of the IL-2 is the mechanisms of enhanced NK cell activity.

영도에서 조망하는 부산항 경관의 시각적 특성

박문순,강영조,조승래,강헌우,차명숙,Park, Moon-Sook,Kang, Young-Jo,Cho, Seung-Rae,Kang, Hyon-Woo,Cha, Myeong-Sook 한국조경학회 2010 韓國造景學會誌 Vol.38 No.4

본 연구는 영도에서 부산항을 체험할 수 있는 조망점을 대상으로 조망점의 공간적 분포, 부산항을 체험하는 시선의 유형, 항구경관의 구도적 특성 그리고 조망점의 시각특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 선정된 조망점 27개소를 대상으로 한 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조망점의 공간적 분포 유형은 공원형, 공공시설형, 도로변형으로 구분되었다. 조망점은 도로변형에서 가장 많이 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 부산항을 체험하는 시선의 유형은 수제선회유형, 항만대변형, 도시관통형으로 나타났다. 영도에서 바라보는 부산항 경관에 대한 시선의 유형은 도시관통형이 가장 많이 나타났다. 이유로는 영도라는 섬이 도시화로 인해 시가지와 도로가 점점 확장되면서 부산항을 바라보는 시선이 도시를 관통하여 바다를 조망하는 시선이 많아지게 된 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 항구경관의 구도적 특성은 파노라마형, 회랑형, 지붕너머형으로 파악되었다. 그 중 지붕너머형이 가장 많이 나타났다. 이를 통해 영도에서 체험하는 부산항의 모습은 대부분 경관의 연속성이 상실되고, 주거지의 지붕이 거리감을 차단하여 일종의 차경 역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 조망점의 시각특성을 분석하였다 조망정의 부각은 수평경에 가까운 $-3^{\circ}{\sim}-1^{\circ}$사이에 13개소, $-6^{\circ}{\sim}-4^{\circ}$의 범위에 12개소로 가장 많은 분포를 보였다. 부감의 시축에 해당되는 조망점은 2개소로 나타났다. 이는 시가지가 확장되면서 건물에 의해 내려다보는 시선이 차단된 결과로 판단되었다. 그리고 시거리의 지리적 범위는 0.2km~6.4km에 이르는 광범위한 조망역을 이루고 있었다. 최적의 부감경을 체험할 수 있는 조망점 2개소는 지속적으로 조망을 보전하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구의 성과는 부산의 경우와 같은 항만도시에 있어서 조망점의 관리 및 보전 등의 경관계획에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. This study will define the features of the viewpoint that best enables the view of Busan Port from Young-Do. Special focus will be on spatial distribution, the type Busan Port sights that can be experienced from Young-Do, the compositional characteristic of a port landscape and visual characteristic. The results are based on 27 selected viewpoints and are as follows. Firstly, the patterns of the spatial distribution of viewpoints are classified as park, public facility and wayside types. It was found that most viewpoints are located along a wayside. Secondly, the types of Busan Port sights that can be experienced from Young-Do are divided into three kinds: surrounding stand-line type, facing the port and the type of penetrating city. The major type was of penetrating city among the three patterns. The reason for this is that the point of view for Busan Port was changed into a prospect over the sea since city and road sections have been expanding due to the urbanization of Young-Do. Thirdly, the compositional characteristics of the port landscape are divided into three styles: panoramic, corridor, and rooftop. The most frequent type is the rooftop style among the three characteristics. This fact indicates that the picture of Busan Port seen from Young-Do loses continuity of view and that housetops inhibit the sense of distance. Lastly, the visual characteristics of the viewpoint were analyzed. The angles of the declination of the viewpoints are concentrated on the horizontally closed parts. Thirteen points lie between $-3^{\circ}$ and $-1^{\circ}$, and twelve points between $-6^{\circ}$ and $-4^{\circ}$. The visual axes of the depression are two points because sight is interrupted by buildings which are built when the city expands. Two viewpoints for experiencing the optimum landscape of depression should be prepared to ensure continuous preservation of the viewpoints. The sight creates a wide prospect, reaching from 0.2km to 6.4km. It is expected that the results of this study can be used for the landscape plans of port cities including the management and preservation of viewpoints.

Objects : Several lines of possibilites have been oroposed about the etiology of bipolar attective disorder in biological, genetic and psychosocial aspect. The purpose of this study is to inspect the etiology of bipolar affective disorder in biological aspect by measuring the changes of serum inositol-1-phosphatase activity and investing a causal relationship between clinical symptoms and serum inositol-1-phosphatase activities in patients with bipolar affective disorder. Methods : The subjects were 18 inpatients who met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for bipolar I affective disorder, manic episode and 15 normal controls. Inositol-1-phosphatase activities were measured in serum by using spectrophotometer. Clinical symptoms of patients were assessed by YMRS at admission day and after 2 weeks lithium treatment. Results : 1) Inositol-1-phosphatase activities of the patients were increased to about 2 times as compared with those of normal controls. And the activity levels were decreased gradually to the normal at 14 days. 2) Young's Mania Rating Scale(YMRS) scores were decreased significantly by lithium treatment. 3) Statistical significance could not be found between the change of YMRS scores and the levels of inositol-1-phosphatase activity. Conclusion : In this study, statistical significance could not be found between clinical improvement and inositol-1-phosphatase activities, but the fact that lithium treatment improve the clinical manifestation shown by YMRS score changes, and reverse the increased inositol-1-phosphatase activities suggests the strong association between pathophysiology of bipolar affective disorders and inositide metabolism.

In this study, a vehicle vector using cryptic plasmids was constructed for gene transfer in Helicobacter pylori. pHP51(3.9 kb) and pHP489(1.2 kb) were selected for constructing vectors from cryptic plasmid of H. pylori isolates in Korea. The HindⅢ-digestedDNA fragment(1.2kb) of pHP489 and 1.6kb DNA fragment of pHP51 were ligated with a kanamycin resistance gene(aph3'-Ⅲ) from C. jejuni to produce the recombinant plasmids pHP489K and pHP51K, respectively. Transformation frequency of pHP51K by electroporation was low. But pHP489K could be effectively transformed into various H. pylori strains. In order to design an intermdiate vehicle vector for gene transfer into H. pylori, pBlueHP489K was prepared by recloning pHP489K DNA into pBluescript and pTZ19R vector. This vector permitted the DNA fragment containing pHP489 sequence, aph3'-Ⅲ, and cloned DNA to be cut and self-ligated in the SacⅠ site after cloning. ureA and ureB gene were inserted into pBlueHP489K, resulting in pBlueHP489K/AB. The DNA fragment containing pHP489, kanamycin resistance gene(aph3'-Ⅲ), and urease structural gene was cut away from pBlueHP489K/AB and self-ligated to generate pBlueHP489K/AB. pBlueHP489K/AB made urease-negative H. pylori strains restore their urease activity. By this experiment, pBlueHP489K was confirmed to be the vehicle system for transferring H. pylori genes.

이 글에서는 故 정승모 박사가 발굴한 조선후기 서울 布廛의 문서를 소개하고, 그 식별 및 분류에 관해 試論하였다. 향후 여러 가지 측면에서 심화 연구가 이루어질 수 있도록, 書誌的 특징을 포함하여 검토하였다. 40여 장의 斷片으로 구성된 ‘정승모 문서’는 조선후기 서울의 포전 조직에서 작성한 것으로서, 18세기 후반에서 19세기 후반 사이에 생산된 문서가 뒤섞여 있음을 밝혔다. 포전의 삼베 구매 및 분배와 관련된 문서 중에는 공동 구매에 참여하여 지분(깃)을 행사한 포전 구성원이 나열된 사례가 있는데, 그 기록의 순서는 牛耕式을 따르고 있었다. 인명의 기재 양식에 대한 파악은 조직의 인적 구성을 비롯한 다각도의 후속 연구를 위해 반드시 선행되어야 하는 문제인데, 이글에서의 실증 분석을 통해 해결된 것이다. 삼베의 상납 및 운반과 관련된 문서의 이해는 그리 쉽지 않으나, 대략 다음과 같은 다섯 가지의 경로를 상정해 볼 수 있었다: (1) 포전에 속한 개별 상인에 대한 공급, (2) 고위 관료에 대한 衣資布 상납,(3) 민간을 대상으로 판매한 포전 건물[房]에의 공급, (4) 중앙 관청에의 貢布 상납, (5) 貢人에 대한 공포 공급. 삼베를 공급한 다음의 대금 정산은 별도의 기록을 통해 이루어지고 있었음이 확인되었다. 이 글에서, 비록 충분한 정보가 없는 상황임에도 여러 가지 추론을 통해 ‘정승모 문서’의 분류안을 제시한 결과, 다음과 같은 두 가지 효과를 기대해 볼 수 있다. 첫째, ‘정승모 문서’ 및 각종의 시전 관련문서에 대한 심층적 이해 및 실증 분석이 가능할 것이다. 둘째, 앞으로 이와 유사한 문서가 발굴될 경우에 ‘정승모 문서’의 분류안을 일반적 지침으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. Ten years ago, a set of documents and scraps of the hemp merchant guild (p``ojn) in Seoul was introduced by the late Dr. Chung, Seung-Mo, a historical folklorist. This study attempts to identify each document and scrap by classifying all the materials. Various aspects, including bibliographic items, were discussed. The documents and scraps are assumed to have been written between the late 18th and late 19th centuries. Empirical analysis in this study reveals that the entries of the p``ojon members who joined each joint venture were written in ``boustrophedon.`` Using this knowledge, it is possible to perform further research, including personnel setup. Documents and scraps related to the procurement and supply of hemp cloths enabled us to suggest the five paths of distribution, namely, (1) supply for the individual members of the p``ojon guilds, (2) procurement for bureaucrats`` clothing, (3) supply for retail shops, (4) procurement for government offices, and (5) supply for tribute merchants. Despite the limited information, a categorization candidate was proposed through inductive reasoning. This proposal can serve as a guideline for the classification of new documents or scraps in the future.

Background/Aims: Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a fibrosing disease process which frequently develops ureteral obstruction. Malignant retroperitoneal fibrosis has been reported that various types of cancer including cancer of the breast, stomach, prostate, lung, cervix, uteri, colon, pancreas, ovary, and even Hodgkin's disease. While the pathogenesis remains obscure, small foci of metastatic neoplasm in the retroperitoneal space can elicit a desmoplastic reaction in secondary form to malignancy. Methods: Recently we experienced 7 cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis with advanced gastric cancer. So, we report 7 cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis with clinical and radiologic characteristics. Results: The most common signs and symptoms were related irreversible renal dysfunction. The urologic finding noted medial deviation of the involved ureters and hydronephrosis Conclusions: Clinical manifestations are abdominal pain, back pain, hydronephrosis, and uremia. When sudden back pain and hydronephrosis develop in advanced malignancy, physicians should be considerd for retroperitoneal fibrosis.

For more effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the authers made 5-fluorouracil-polyglycolic acid composite disks(FU-PGA disks) with 5-fluorouracil and polyglycolic acid, a biodegradable polymer. We inserted the FU-PGA disk into the peritoneal cavites of Sprague-Dawley male rats, the control and three experimental groups; one FU-PGA disk insert group(300mg/kg), two FU-PGA disk insert group(600mg/kg), and three FU-PGA disk insert group(900mg/kg). The control group received a similar number of PGA disk inserts. A pharmacokinetic study was performed to measure the 5-fluorouracil concentration in the peritoneal fluid, blood, and tissues(liver, kidney and heart) at 24 hours, 72hours and 168 hours after insertion of the FU-PGA disk. Light and electron microscopic studies were done. The results were as follows: 1) The number of white blood cells and platelets decreased after FU-PGA insertion. The degree was proportional to the duration and amounts inserted. The change in the number of red blood cells varied slightly. 2) Light microscopically, slight changes were noted at 168 hours in the 3 disk insert group (900mg/kg). Mild fatty change and hepatocyte degeneration around the central veins of the liver were noted, with vacuolar degeneration in the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney. 3) Electron microscopically,the liver showed focal increases of lipid droplets in the hepatocytes, and irregular nuclear membrane with focal nucleolar segregation of the fibrillar and granular elements. Also the double membranous structure of the hepatocytes and Kupffer cells was widened with bleb formation. The kidney showed wide separation of the nuclear double membrane in the proximal convoluted tubular cells and mesangial cells, with vacuolation and myelin figure formation in the mitochondria of the proximal convoluted tubular cells, at 72 hours and 168 hours in the 2 to 3 FU-PGA insert groups. The heart showed focal loss of cristae,vacuolation and myelin figure formation in the mitochondria of the 2 to 3 FU-PGA insert groups. In conclusion, despite the large amont of FU-PGA inserted, the histopathological changes in the liver, kidney and heart were slight, and consonant with the very low amount of 5-fluorouracil concentrations detected in the liver, kidney and heart. The above results suggest that the FU-PGA composite can serve as a new device for releasing drugs in a controlled manner and easily targeted to intraperitoneal organs. This device can improve the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for gastric cancer.
