Kwon Eun-Young,Kim Young-Tae,Kim Dae-Eun Korean Tribology Society 2006 KSTLE International Journal Vol.7 No.1

In this work, imaging and study of elastic property of the living cell was performed. The motivation of this work was to seek the possibility of exploiting Young's modulus as a disease indicator using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and also to gain fundamental understanding of cell mechanics for applications in medical nanorobots of the future. L-929 fibroblast adherent cell was used as the sample. Imaging condition in cell culturing media environment was done in very low speed ($20{\mu}m/ s$) compared to that in the ambient environment. For measuring the Young's modulus of the living cell, AFM indentation method was used. From the force-distance curve obtained from the indentation experiment the Young's modulus could be derived using the Hertz model. The Young's modulus of living L-929 fibroblast cell was $1.29{\pm}0.2$ kPa.

( Hyung Il Kwon ),( Eun Jin Kim ),( Hyun Woo Kim ),( Hyun Chul Park ),( Jeong Eun Kim ),( Joo Yeon Ko ),( Young Suck Ro ) 대한피부과학회 2013 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.65 No.2

Background: Cyclosporine (CS) has been used for various skin diseases including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. However, dermatologists are reluctant to use CS in clinics because of the adverse effects. Objectives: To investigate the adverse effects of CS for dermatological uses. Methods: A retrospective study of 1,335 patients with CS treatment was performed. Results: 15.6% of patients showed adverse effects. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were the most common adverse effect. Other adverse effects included hypercholesterolemia, hypertrichosis, headache, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia in order of frequency. Hypercholesterolemia was more often in men, but GI symptoms and hypertrichosis in women. Hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and GI symptoms were more common in adults, but hypertrichosis in young. GI symptoms and headache occurred more often within three months of CS treatment, but hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia after three months. Hypertrichosis was more often in group with low initial dose. GI symptoms occurred more often with lower CS cumulative dose group and hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia in higher CS cumulative dose group. Conclusion: Comparing to previous studies, the frequency of adverse effects of CS was proven to be low. Therefore, in dermatologic field, we suggest that CS is relatively safe with periodic follow-up.

Agranulocytosis, one of the major side effects of antithyroid a gents, probably occurs in less than 0.25% of cases treated with antithyroid agents. It usually occurs within the first several weeks or months after the initiation of therapy, when drug dosage is higher. Most reported cases of agranulocytosis have occurred during the first 3 months of therapy. We describe here a rare case that did not experience the side effect for 6 years of antithyroid agent treatment but presented with agranulocytosis in one month after re-exposure. It suggests that the major side effect such as agranulocytosis can occur in patients who had undergone prior uneventful antithyroid drug therapy.

The purpose of this research was to investigate effects of Sa-Kunja-Tang(SKT) on immune cells of L1210 cell-transplanted mice. The apoptosis and T lymphocytes subopoulation were tested using a flow cytometry, and the proliferation was tested using a MTT assay. Nitric oxide production from mouse peritoneal macrophage was tested using a Griess reagents, and the phagocytic activity of mouse peritoneal macrophage was tested using a lucigenin chemiluminescence. SKT suppressed apoptosis of T-lymphocytes induced by L1210 transplantation. SKT decreased nitric oxide production from mice peritoneal macrophages increased by L1210 transplantation, and the phagocytic activity decreased by L1210 transplantation. These results suggest that SKT suppresses T lymphocyte apoptosis and macrophage activity in L1210 transplanted mice.

과산화 효소와 포도당 산화효소의 효소반응을 이용하여 혈액 중 당을 측정하는 혈당측정용 스트립을 개발하였다. 멤브레인에 포도당 산화효소와 과산화 효소, 색원체를 건조 처리하면 혈당이 멤브레인에 처리된 포도당 산화효소와 즉각 반응하여 과산화 수소를 발생하고 발생된 과산화 수소가 과산화 효소와 반응하여 착색물을 형성한다. 제조된 스트립은 혈액과 접촉하면 반응시간 2∼3분 이내에 0∼800mg/dl의 혈당에 대하여 농도에 따라 연 녹, 청녹, 짙은 청색을 나타내며 이때 민감도는 40 mg/dl이었다. 육안용 혈당 스트립을 이용하여 정상을 포함한 당뇨 환자의 혈당 농도를 측정한 결과 Ames사와 BM사에서 시판하고 있는 제품과 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 스트립이 자동 분석기기의 재료로 활용될 수 있는지 여부를 알아보기 위하여 분광 비색계로 발색 반응의 최적 파장을 분석하고 최적 파장에서 각 혈당 농도별 반사 밀도를 측정하여 검정선을 얻었다. 이 검정선에 의해 임상 혈청시료의 혈당 농도를 측정한 결과 일본의 Kyoto Daiichi사의 혈액 분석시스템과 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 이로서 본 연구에서 개발한 혈당 스트립을 이용하여 혈액 중 혈당량을 육안으로 측정할 수 있음은 물론 자동 분석기기의 기본 시료로 이용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. We have developed a simple and accurate strip test that measures the blood glucose level semiquantitatively by visual observation, or qualitatively by using UltraScan spectrocolorimeter. The strip has solid phase reagents, including glucose oxidase, peroxidase, chromogen, affixed to a plastic support. The strip test is capable of measuring blood glucose level in the range of 0∼800 mg/dl and generating the results within 2 to 3 minutes. Human blood specimens obtained from normal individuals and the diabetic patients were evaluated by the new blood glucose strip and by the kit supplied by other commercial products. The test results exhibit the correlation coefficient of 0.964. The new test strip is proven simple and accurate, and it offers an alternative to the commercially available glucose tests.

Resin infiltration을 시행한 법랑질 초기 우식 병소의 특성

김은영,권민석,김신,정태성 大韓小兒齒科學會 2012 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.39 No.1

The concept of resin infiltration which was born in an innovative philosophy to arrest the incipient caries. However, the structural changes of resin infiltrated lesions have not yet explained completely. The liquid resin might contribute not only to maximizing the penetration but to deteriorating physical stability. This study was performed to examine some physical and histological features of resin infiltrated incipient carious lesions. With the specimen of resin infiltrated lesions, microhardness by nanoindentation in depth profile, morphology of resin tags were revealed after HCl dissolution, and degree of microleakage were assessed. The percentage of microhardness of surface layer and lesion body of untreated specimen to sound enamel was 64.6% and 24.6% respectively, while that of resin-infiltrated lesions was 72.1%, showing significant difference (p<0.05). The resin tags observed under SEM had relatively homogeneous length of 433(282~501) ㎛ on the average. Among 20 specimens for microleakage assessment, 13 specimens showed no leakage while 5 and 2 showed leakage into outer and inner half of lesion respectively. It was thought the infiltrant resin penetrates deeply and homogeneously into lesion body and improves its hardness with relatively good physical stability. 본 연구는 infiltrant resin을 침투시킨 초기 우식 병소의 특성을 평가하기 위해 법랑질의 깊이에 따른 경도를 측정하고, 병 소 내로의 레진 침투양상을 분석하며, 미세누출 정도를 관찰하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 건전 법랑질에 대한 초기 우식 법랑질의 경도 백분율은 표층(5~40 ㎛) 64.6%, 병소본체(60~350 ㎛) 24.6%였으며, infiltrant resin을 침투시킨 병소의 경도 백분율은 72.1%로 나타났다. 5~350 ㎛의 전 깊이에서, infiltrant resin을 침투시 킨 병소는 비처치 우식 병소보다 경도가 유의하게 높았지만 정상 법랑질에 비해서는 경도가 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). FESEM 관찰 결과 탈회된 법랑질 내부로 비교적 균일하게 침투한 레진 테그가 관찰되었으며, 침투깊이는 433 ㎛(282-501)로 측정되었다. 열순환 처리 후 13개의 치아에서 미세누출이 관찰되지 않았고, 5개에서 병소 외측 절반, 2개에서 병소 내측 절 반까지 미세누출이 관찰되었다.

It is well established that the elevation of systolic blood pressure during exercise is the risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this study is to examine whether the elevation of systolic blood pressure during exercise is correlated with the pathogenesis of hypotension To fulfill this objective, this study assigned 31(46.2±7.0 yr) middle-aged women to low group(n=17) and high group(n=14) according to the criteria for the classification of hypertension(JNC-VI, 1997). Following this, this study analyzed cardiovascular factors(SBP, DBP, HR, VO₂, RER) and blood components(LDLC, HDLC, TC, TG, HDLC/LDLC). The results of the present study were as follows: (1) SBP was significantly increased at resting state, at 4 minutes, at 6 minutes and at endpoint(P<.05), (2) There was significant difference between SBPmax and SBPrest(P<.05), (3) DBP was significantly increased solely at resting state SBPmax (P<.05), (4) RER was significantly increased at 10 minutes. In addition, a statistical analysis revealed that SBPmax-SBPrest was significantly correlated with age(r=0.336), SBPmax(r=0.827) and DBPmax(r=0.335). In conclusion this study indicates that the monitoring of such cardiovascular indicators as SBP, DBP, HR, VO₂ and RER is essential in health promotion in patients with obesity or normal healthy people as weil as patients with hypertension.
