목적 : 최근 8년간 본원에서 경험한 자기면역성 간염의 혈액학적 특징과 스테로이드의 치료효과를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1996년 이후부터 2002년까지 충남대학교 병원에서 1999년 International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group(LAHG)에서 제시한 수정 진단 기준안에 의거하여 총 진단점수가 probable 이상에 해당하는 환자들을 대상으로 임상적 특징, 검사실 및 조직 소견과 스테로이드와 azathioprine의 치료 효과를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 9예의 환자들은 여성이 78%, 40대가 많았고, 급성 발병이 33.3%, 피로감, 식욕부진 및 황달 등이 나타났으며, 항핵항체가 55.6%에서 그리고 항평활근 항체가 77.8%에서 양성이었고, 동반 질환은 류마치스 관절염이 2예, 특발성 혈소판 감소증 1예, Henoch-Sch nlein 자반증 및 그레브스병이 각각 1예 씩이었다. 7예에 대해서 스테로이드와 azathioprine으로 치료하여 생화학적 임상적 완해가 이루어져서 유효한 치료 결과를 얻었다. 결론 : 자가면역성 간염은 우리 나라에서 원인을 찾을 수 없는 만성 간질환의 경우, 특히 중년여성에서 다른 자가면역성 질환이 동반되었을 때 자가면역성 간염을 의심하여 자가항체 선별검사를 시행해 보아야 할 것으로 생각된다. 향후 다기관 연구를 통하여 좀 더 많은 증례를 모으고 전향적인 연구를 시행하여야 할 필요가 있다. Although autoimmune hepatitis(AIH) is common in western contries, some studties have been reported in Korea. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical and histological features and expression pattern of the autoantibody and to examine clinical course of AIH in Korea. For 9 patients diagnosed as having AIH in our hospital since 1996, we reviewed medical records and analyzed clinical and laboratory findings retrospectively. They had a probable or definite AIH according to the revised criteria of International AIH group. The mean age was 42.7(21∼68)years and 7(77.8%) were female. Three of them(33.3%) showed acute hepatitis and five of them showed cirrhosis. Fatigue and anorexia were the most frequently complained symptoms(55.6%). Four patients(44.4%) were accompanied with other autoimmune diseases. Antinuclear antibody was detected in 5(55.6%) and anti-smooth muscle antibody was detected in 7(77.8%). Three patients showed focal picemeal necrosis and four showed periportal fibrosis. Among 7 patients who received immunosuppressive therapy, six patients(85.7%) showed initial response. and biochemical and serologic remission were achived in 5(71.4%) and 3(42.8%) patients, AIH seems to be partly responsible for chronic liver disease of unknown etiology in Korea. AIH should be suspected in female patients with unknown chronic liver disease of unknown etiolgy, especially accompanied with other autoimmune disease. The clinical characteristics of AIH may not be quite different from those of Western countries.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that arises from the mesothelium of a serosal cavity and is a rapidly fatal disease with a median survival of 4 to 12 months for untreated cases. Recently, we experienced a case with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma who was suspected hepatocelluar carcioma by abdominal CT scan and was confirmed by biopsy including immunohistochemical stain(calretinin) after surgery. We performed tumor excisions and wedge resection of the liver(segment Ⅷ)and inserted Tencoff catheter in abdominal cavity at 25th day of post-operation. We treated with intraperitoneal paclitaxel(25mg/m^(2)/day for 5 days) six courses monthly. She was well tolerable and is still living without any evidence of recurrence for 14th month of post-operation.

치과용 자성 어태치먼트 재료의 안정성 개선에 관한 연구 : II.질화티타늄 코팅이 치과용 자성재의 내식성에 미치는 영향 Ⅱ.Effect of TiN Coating on Corrosion Resistance of Dental Magnetic Materials

Dental magnetic materials have been applied to removable prosthetic appliances, maxillofacial prostheses, obturator and dental implant but they still have some problems such as low corrosion resistance in oral environments. To increase the corrosion resistance of dental magnetic materials, surfaces of Sm-Co and Nd-Fe-B based magnetic materials were plated with TiN and then electrochemical corrosion test were performed in 4 kinds of electrolyte solutions(0.9% NaCl. 1% lactic acid, 0.05% HCl and modified Fusayama's artificial saliva). From this study, corrosion behavior, amount of elements released, mean average surface roughness values and the changing of mean surface microhardness values were measured comparing with control group of non-sputtered plating magnetic materials. The results were as follows: 1. TiN layer coated on magnet grows into preferred direction with lamellar structure and its thickness is 3.0㎛. 2. Sm-Co base magnetic materials coated with TiN have good corrosion resistance in 1% lactic acid and their pitting corrosion can not be seen. 3. Nd-Fe-B base magnetic materials coated with TiN showed good tendency of corrosion resistance in 0.05% HCl solution. 4. The amount of elements released from both Sm-Co and Nd-Fe-B base magnetic materials coated with TiN were more significantly decreased than that of uncoated magnetic materials. 5. The mean surface roughness values of both Sm-Co and Nd-Fe-B base magnetic materials coated with TiN were smooth than that of uncoated magnetic materials after corrosion test. 6. The decreasing rate of microhardness of both Sm-Co and Nd-Fe-B base magnetic materials coated with TiN were lower than that of uncoated magnetic materials after corrosion test. 7. Dental magnetic materials coated with TiN produced various corrosion products such as TiO, TiO₂, Ti₂O₃on the surface and resulted in better corrosion resistance than uncoated magnetic materials. In conclusion, it is considered that the corrosion problem of dental magnetic materials could be solved to some extent by EB-PVD with TiN on the surface of dental magnetic materials.

Electrostatic interaction of tumor-targeting adenoviruses with aminoclay acquires enhanced infectivity to tumor cells inside the bladder and has better cytotoxic activity

Kim, Soo-Yeon,Kwon, Whi-An,Shin, Seung-Pil,Seo, Ho Kyung,Lim, Soo-Jeong,Jung, Yuh-Seog,Han, Hyo-Kyung,Jeong, Kyung-Chae,Lee, Sang-Jin Informa Healthcare 2018 DRUG DELIVERY Vol.25 No.1

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>In a previous report, 3-aminopropyl functionalized magnesium phyllosilicate (aminoclay) improved adenovirus transduction efficiency by shielding the negative surface charges of adenovirus particles. The present study analyzed the physicochemical characterization of the electrostatic complex of adenoviruses with aminoclay and explored whether it could be utilized for enhancing tumor suppressive activity in the bladder. As a result of aminoclay-adenovirus nanobiohybridization, its transduction was enhanced in a dose-dependent manner, increasing transgene expression in bladder cancer cells and in <I>in vivo</I> animal models. Physicochemical studies demonstrated that positively charged aminoclay led to the neutralization of negative surface charges of adenoviruses, protection of adenoviruses from neutralizing antibodies and lowered transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). As expected from the physicochemical properties, the aminoclay enabled tumor-targeting adenoviruses to be more potent in killing bladder cancer cells and suppressing tumor growth in orthotopic bladder tumors, suggesting that aminoclay would be an efficient, versatile and biocompatible delivery carrier for intravesical instillation of adenoviruses.</P>

채연화 ( Yeon-hwa Chae ),문흥수 ( Heung Soo Moon ),김세영 ( Seyoung Kim ),우상국 ( Sang Kuk Woo ),박지연 ( Ji-yeon Park ),이기성 ( Kee Sung Lee ) 한국복합재료학회 2017 Composites research Vol.30 No.2

본 논문에서는 탄화규소 섬유강화 탄화규소 복합재료에 내환경 코팅을 수행한 후, 열·기계적 특성평가에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 초기분말은 성형공정도중 흐름성을 좋게 하기 위해 분무건조법으로 구형의 분말을 제조하였다. 내환경 코팅재는 복합재료가 산화되거나 고온 수증기와 반응하는 것을 방지하기 위해 행하여 지는데, 본 연구에서는 액상침투법(LSI)으로 제조한 복합재에 실리콘으로 본드코팅을 하고 그 위에 대기플라즈마용사법으로 뮬라이트(mullite)와 무게비로 12% 이터븀 실리케이트(ytterbium silicate)가 혼합된 복합재를 코팅하였다. 대기플라즈마 코팅공정 시 성형변수로서 분무거리를 100, 120 그리고 140 mm로 변화시켰다. 그 후 1100oC의 온도에서 100시간동안 유지하는 실험과 1200oC의 온도에서 열충격을 가하는 싸이클을 3000회 반복하였다. 열내구성 시험동안 계면 박리는 일어나지 않았지만, 현저한 균열들이 코팅층 내에서 발견되었다. 균열밀도와 균열의 길이는 코팅도중의 분무거리에 의존하여 변화하였다. 열 내구성 시험 후, 압흔 시험을 통해 기계적 열화거동을 분석하였는데, 시험의 방식이나 조건들이 하중-변위 곡선의 거동에 영향을 주었다. This study investigates thermal and mechanical characterization of environmental barrier coating on the SiC_f-SiC composites. The spherical environmental barrier coating (EBC) powders are prepared using a spray drying process for flowing easily during coating process. The powders consisting of mullite and 12 wt% of Ytterbium silicate are air plasma sprayed on the Si bondcoat on the LSI SiC fiber reinforced SiC composite substrate for protecting the composites from oxidation and water vapor reaction. We vary the process parameter of spray distance during air plasma spray of powders, 100, 120 and 140 mm. After that, we performed the thermal durability tests by thermal annealing test at 1100oC for 100hr and thermal shock test from 1200oC for 3000 cycles. As a result, the interface delamination of EBC never occur during thermal durability tests while stable cracks are prominent on the coating layer. The crack density and crack length depend on the spray distance during coating. The post indentation test indicates thermal tests influence on the indentation load-displacement mechanical behavior.

Feral cats are widely considered to be leading the potential impacts on public health. This study aimed to provide estimates of vital data for feral cats relating Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to establish strategies effectively to manage feral cats in Pyeongtaek. Thus, this study focused on estimating feral cat population in Pyeongtaek and conducted a comparative analysis of the data for feral cats in Seoul (2013). The number of feral cats was estimated from 23,069 to 26,655 in Pyeongtaek, 2019. In relation to human population, when comparing the number of feral cats of Pyeongtaek and Seoul, it ranged from 4.57% to 5.28%, and from 1.97% to 2.55% respectively. This showed that Pyeongtaek was higher than Seoul. Fewer kittens were found in high-density areas, which the TNR project is believed to be generally effective in controlling the number of feral cats. In conclusion, in urban and rural complexes such as Pyeongtaek City, the number of feral cats compared to the population was higher than that of Seoul City, and the TNR program is believed to be somewhat effective in controlling the number of feral cats. When implementing TNR, it is necessary periodically to investigate the population and reflect them in policymaking.

Intramedullary screw fixation and bicortical screw fixation are widely used operation methods in the surgical treatment of Jones fractures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate of mechnical stability in two kind of Jones fracture. Using Mimics, three-dimensional models of the fifth metatarsal were reconstructed form computed tomography images of a 23-year-old Korean healthy male. Normal and osteoporotic bone models were made by changing bone density or thickness of cortical and cancellous bone. Two kinds of fixation techniques, i.e., intramedullary and bicortical screw fixation models, were simulated and muscles forces related to the fifth metatarsal base were applied. Maximum contact pressure difference were measured as 20,818 MPa, 12,155 MPa in normal bone, 23,371 MPa, 13,765 MPa in 85% cancellous osteoporotic bone, 24,310 MPa and 14,264 MPa in 75% cancellos osteoporotic model, 21,337 MPa, 20,971 MPa in .0.5 mm cortical osteoporotic bone, 26,322 MPa and 36,153 MPa in .1 mm cortical osteoporotic model, respectively for intramedullary screw fixation and bicortical screw fixation. Displacements on fracture interface were 0.208 mm, 0.126 mm in normal bone while 0.229 mm, 0.127 mm in 85% cancellos osteoporotic model, 0.241 mm, 0.127 mm in 75% cancellos osteoporotic model, 0.223 mm, 0.271 mm in .0.5 mm cortical osteoporotic model, 0.292 mm, 0.480 mm in .1 mm cortical osteoporotic model, respectively for intramedullary screw fixation and bicortical screw fixation. Bicortical screw fixation is superior in mechanical stability than intramedullary screw fixation for normal bone quality Jones fractures. For cortical osteoporotic bone Jones fractures, however, intramedullary screw fixation can give a better mechanical stability than bicortical screw fixation.

N/A Background : Nitric oxide, also known as endothelial derived relaxing factor(EDRF), regulates the vascular tone and inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and platelet adhesions and endothelium-leukocyte interactions. Thus, nitric oxide may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and vasospasm. We analyzed the genotype distributions of two eNOS gene polymorphisms in normal healthy Koreans and compared it with those in the patients with acute coronary syndrome and variant angina. Methods : We analyzed the two eNOS polymorphisms (eNOS A/B polymorphism is the variable numbers of tandem repeat in intron 4 and eNOS T/G polymorphism is a mis-sense mutation in exon 7) using PCR and clinical characteristics of the risk factors for coronary artery disease in 142 normal healthy Koreans and 164 patients with acute coronary syndrome and 104 patients with variant angina. Results : The genotype distribution of A/B polymorphism of eNOS gene, A/A, A/B, B/B was 4.9%, 21.1%, 74% in control group and 2.4%, 12.8%, 84.8% in the patients with acute coronary syndrome(p=0.02) and 2.9%, 16.3%, 80.8% in the patients with variant angina(p=NS), respectively. The genotype distribution of T/G polymorphism of eNOS gene, T/T, T/G, G/G was 1.4%, 15.5%, 83.1% in control group and 0.6%, 21.3%, 78.1% in the patients with acute coronary syndrome(p=NS) and 0%, 18.3%,81.7% in the patients with variant angina(p=NS), respectively. The odds ratio for acute coronary syndrome of non B/B(A/A & A/B) to B/B was 0.489 (95% CI : 0.257∼0.928). We found that age, sex (male), diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking, B/B genotype were independent risk factors for acute coronary syndrome. But, in variant angina, smoking was the only significant independent risk factor(odds ratio=5.934, 95% CI 2.843-12.388, p<0.05). Conclusion : The B/B genotype frequency of eNOS gene was significantly higher in patients with acute coronary syndrome than in normal controls. But neither A/B nor T/G polymorphism of eNOS gene was associated with variant angina. These results suggest that eNOS gene may play some roles in the pathogenesis of ACS rather than vasospasm.(Korean J Med 58:19-27, 2000)

Japenses encephalitis (JE)는 동아시아에서 가장 흔한 뇌염의 원인 중 하나이며 사망률과합병증 발생률이 높은 질환이다. 그러나 최근 국내에서는 국가차원의 예방접종 및 숙주 조절로 인해 JE의 발생빈도가 급격히 줄었으며, 특히 최근 10년간 9세 이하의 소아에서는 보고된 예가 없다. 따라서 소아에서 발생한 뇌염의 원인으로 먼저 고려하지 않는 것이 일반적이나 특징적인 MRI 소견과 함께 혈액 및 뇌척수액의 일본뇌염바이러스 항체 양성으로 진단된 소아의 JE 1례가 발견되었다. 환자는 발병 당시 생후 9개월로, 발열 및 열성경련을 주소로 내원하였으며 이후 경련 및 의식저하가 지속되고 호흡부전 및 자율신경계 기능이상을 동반한 나쁜 경과를 보였으나 스테로이드 및 면역글로불린 치료를 병행하면서 서서히 호전되었다. 이와 같이 특히 접종 이전의 소아에서 특히 특징적인 MRI 이상을 동반한 뇌염의 경우 JE를 반드시 감별해야 하며 의심되는 경우 예후 향상을 위해 스테로이드 및 면역글로불린 등의 치료를 고려할 수 있겠다. Japanese encephalitis is one of the leading causes of acute encephalitis in Asia. But in Korea, the number of Japanese encephalitis cases has dropped considerably due to mass vaccination and vector control. Especially, there were no case reports under the age of 9 years during the last ten years. We will describe a case of a previously healthy 7-month old boy who presented with fever and seizure. The patient was diagnosed with Japanese encephalitis, based on the cerebrospinal fluid and serum antibody analyses for the Japanese encephalitis virus. Typical brain magnetic resonance image findings of Japanese encephalitis were observed. The patient received extensive conservative treatment including high dose intravenous corticosteroid treatment and immunoglobulin. In spite of severe hemodynamic instability, the patient survived, and he is currently in a vegetative state with respiratory assist by a home ventilator. Although the incidence of Japanese encephalitis dropped dramatically in Korea, pediatricians should always consider the diagnosis as one of the possibilities for patients with encephalitis, especially if the patient is not immunized for JEV. Since there is no specific treatment for JEV, timely and comprehensive conservative care is critical to reduce the mortality and morbidity.
