Background: Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is induced by oxidative stress and plays important roles in anti-apoptosis and the rapid growth of several solid tumors. p53 has a central role in skin pigmentation and may impact onmelanoma at all stages. However, there has been little study of HO-1 in relation with p53 on melanin production Objectives: To know the effect of HO-1 on melanogenesis through p53 in normal human melanocytes Methods: Human melanocytes (hM) were primarily cultured from foreskin. After incubation, cells were rinsed twice with PBS then transfection with p53 siRNA Results: Melanin content was detected with ELISA and Western blot analysis and RT-PCR of tyrosinase, MITF were performed after ZnPP treatment and p53 transfection. After ZnPP treatment, melanin content was decreased, and tyrosinase and MITF protein levels were decreased. Tyrosinase and MITF mRNA levels were also decreased. However, melanin content and tyrosinase and MITF protein levels were increased after CoPP treatment. After p53 transfection, HO-1 expression was decreased when HO-1 stimulator was treated. In addition, melanin content was decreased, and tyrosinase expression was decreased in Western blot analysis Conclusion: These results suggest that melanogenesis is inhibited by ZnPP by decreased melanin production, tyrosinase and MITF protein and mRNA levels. Furthermore, those inhibitory effects of ZnPP may be dependent on p53 in normal human melanocytes. Therefore, HO-1 may play an important role in melanogensis

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

본 연구에서는 범죄 청소년의 성격특성을 알아보고, 군집분석을 통하여 성격특성에 따르는 하위유형을 구분하고 각 하위유형간에 교육정도, 범죄유형, 가정, 성장배경이나, 범법 전의 스트레스 경험과 대처방식에서 어떤 차이가 있는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 그 결과 범죄 청소년 집단은 성격특성에 따라 세유형의 하위집단으로 구분되었다. 첫번째 하위집단은 긍정적 자아집단으로, 이들은 긍정적 자아개념을 지니고 있고 충동을 잘 억압하면서 방어적 경향을 보인다. 두번째 하위집단은 부정적 자아집단으로 자아개념이 부정적이고 충동통제를 못하며, 실패를 추구하는 경향이 두드러 진다. 세번째 하위집단은 강인한 충동집단으로 냉담하고, 반사회적인 성격특성과 유사한 양상을 드러냈다. 각 하위 집단간에는 부모 양육방식과 스트레스 경험, 그리고 대처방식에서 차이가 나타났다. 그러나 범죄유형이나 교육수준에서는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. In this study, we examined psychological characteristics of juvenile criminals using various personality qestionaires such as self-concepts, Eysenk personality test, locus of control and etc. Multivariate cluster analysis was performed to derive three subgroups of juvenile criminals for 18 personality variables. The first subgroup consisted of crimianls characteristic of a positive self concept with highly repressive and defensive tendancy while the second subgroup appeared to have negative self concept with poor impulse control. The third subgroup was characterized by the tough-mindedness with emotional insecurity and poor impulse control. These three subgroups showed differences in family enviroments. The first subgroup had better family enviroments than the other two subgroups. Especially, the second subgroup appeared to have had the poorest family enviroments. Also, there were differences in strees coping styles among subgroups. The first subgroup showed more active coping and social support seeking than the other groups.

We evaluated clinical manifestation of nodular thyroid disease and fine-needle aspiration cytology results to establish an appropriate diagnostic approach to thyroid nodule. We examined 594 patients who visited Chungnam National University Hospital with one or more thyroid nodules between Jan. 1996 and Dec. 1998. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was carried out after clinical evaluation including medical history, physical examination(hardness,size, multinodularity,fixation) and laboratory test(scan, thyroid function test). Among the 594 cases, 53 cases(8.9%) were diagnosed as cancer and 457 cases(77%) were diagnosed as benign nodule. None of these factors - age, sex. soft and firm nodule, multinodularity, thyroid scan, thyroid sonography, and thyroid function test - were significant to predict cancer in our study. The prevalence of cancer was significantly higher in hard nodule(28. 5%,39/137) than firm(3.8%,12/316) or soft nodule(0%,0/72). There was size difference between malignant(24.2±62.8ml) and benign nodules(12.6±26.1ml),but the size difference wasn't shown to an indicator to say whether malignant or benign. The prevalence of cancer in relation to fixation was significantly higher in fixation(50%,19/38) and partial fixation nodule(33%,4/12) than movable nodules(5.8%,28/476). Rapid growing, vocal cord palsy,and lymphadenopathy among the medical history had higher relative risk to cancer (relative risk= 14, 4.8, 10.2. respectively). We also examined 67 cases which were diagnosed by histology after operation and, through comparison between the results of histology and cytology., evaluated the effectiveness of fine-needle aspiration cytology. Sensitivity, specificity, false negative rate, and false positive rate of fine-needle aspiration cytology were 92-100%, 47-63%, 0-20%, 0-50%,respectively. Our data suggests that thyroid nodules of the patients which are characterized firm, fixed, rapid growing, lymphadenopathy, and vocal cord palsy require more careful evaluation for thyroid cancer. We also recommand thyroid aspiration cytology in first step evaluation to rule out thyroid cancer.

원철호,조진호,김상하,임정훈 경북대학교 의학연구소 1999 경북대학교병원의학연구소논문집 Vol.3 No.1

주파수영역에서 망막전위도의 총전력을 계산하고, 시간영역에서 망막전위도의 면적을계산할수 있는 프로그램을 개발함으로써 전기생리학적 진단의 효능을 향상시키는데 목적을 두었다. 총전력은 망막전위도 신호를 Fourier 변환을 이용하여 주파수 영역의 신호로 바꾼 다음 스펙트럼의 제곱을 적분함으로써 구하였다. 우세전력은 우세주파수의 전력으로 이부분의 전압을 제곱후 적분하여 얻은 값이다. 원하는 부분은 수동입력하여 구간주파수의 제곱적분을 할 수 있게 하였다. 이 소프트웨어는 시간 영역에서 진동양소파의 진폭의 합 및 면적도 구할 수 있는 기능을 가졌으며, 사용자에게 편리하도록 그래픽 환경 하에서 마우스와 팝업 메뉴에 의하여 각 기능들이 작동되며, UTAS-E2000 시스템과도 상호 호환성을 갖고 있다(한안지 38:817∼823, 1997). The Calculation of the Electroretinographic Power Chul Ho Won*, Jin Ho Cho, Ph.D.**, Sang Ha Kim, M. D., Jung Hoon Lim, M. D. To promote the electrophysiologic diagnostic efficiency, the program for calculation of the total power in the frequency domain and of the area in the time domain of the electroretinogram was designed. The total power is calculated by integration of the squared power spectrum obtained by Fourier transform (Parseval theorem) in the time domain. The dominant power is the power of the dominant frequency in power spectrum and is calculated by integration of the squared peak area spectrum. The sectional integration of the square power spectrum can be established by manual input. The implemented software also has the functions that calculate the summed amplitude and area of the oscillatory potentials in the time domain. And it performs each functions by selection of pop-up menu with mouse to use conveniently under graphic interface, compatible with UTAS-E2000 system (J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 38:817∼823, 1997).

隣接한 表面龜裂의 干涉效果에 관한 硏究(Ⅱ) : 2個의 上下平行 表面龜裂 Two Parallel Surface Cracks

曺永鎭,梁源鎬 成均館大學校 科學技術硏究所 1992 論文集 Vol.43 No.2

A study on the interaction effect of two parallel surface cracks in a plate was performed. The stress intensity factor K_I of adjacent surface cracks in a finite plate was analyzed by 3-dimenional finite element method. Mode I stress intensity factors were calculated by using crack opening displacement (COD) method proposed by Ingraffea and Manu. A mesh of 20-node quadratic isoparametric elements was used in this study. In order to satisfy the crack tip singularity, 15-node quarter point singular elements were arranged near the crack front region. And following conclusions are made. 1) When the spacing ratio(c/d) is greater than 1.5, the interaction of the two parallel surface cracks in a plate can be neglected. 2) The interaction effect has no relation with the location of the crack front. 3) When the crack spacing ratio(c/d) is smaller than 1.5, the interaction factor r* is rapidly decreased with decrease of the spacing ratio(c/d), and the decreasing rate of interaction factor r* is increased with increase of the crack aspect ratio(a/b).
