Background and Objectives: With increasing age of population, stroke and dementia become greater health problems in Korea. However, there have been no studies on poststroke dementia in Korea. We intended to elucidate the frequency and clinical correlates of poststroke dementia in a hospital-based cohort. Methods: From July 2001 to July 2002, 372 patients were hospitalized to Eulji General Hospital within 7 days from onset with acute stroke or transient ischemic attack. Two hundred-eight patients (55.9%) were followed up and interviewed more than 1 year later (451 ±83.3 days). Dementia was diagnosed by Korean Dementia Screening Questionnaire (KDSQ) obtained by a direct interview. Based on Eulji Stroke Registry, demographic factors, risk factors for stroke, stroke characteristics, and stroke outcomes were gathered and examined. Results: Of 208 patients, poststroke dementia was detected in 36 patients (17.3%, 20 males, age=64.5±9.4 years). Poststroke dementia was associated with history of stroke, aphasia, modified Rankin Disability Scale (MRDS) at 3 month after stroke and when interviewed, and Barthel index at 6 months after stroke (p;0.05). Its correlation with diabetes mellitus and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale at discharge were marginally significant (0.05;p;0.1). Conclusions: Post-stroke dementia is common in Korean stroke patients. Its frequency is comparable to that in other countries. The correlates of poststroke dementia and their clinical meanings are demonstrated.

배희준,김병건,구자성,김현숙 대한치매학회 2002 Dementia and Neurocognitive Disorders Vol.1 No.2

Background & objective : Changes of signal intensity in the various Structures of basal ganglia(BG), Which can be detected by gradient echo MRI(GE-MRI). have been reported in different kinds of parkinsonism Altered iron content in these structures may be a possible explanation of above phenomenon Vascular parkinsonism is a kind of parkinsonism syndrome and is common However. There have been no reports about the BG signal changes on GE-MRI in vascular parkinsonism Methods : We investigated the difference of signal intensity in various BG and midbrain structures between 36 patients with vascular parkinsonism. which was defined as clinical parkinsonism+evidence of relevant vascular lesion on MRI+poor or no response to levodopa, and age-& sex- matched controls. The intensity of BG on GE-MRI was graded as 0-3 relative to cortical gray matter Results : There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics between two groups Among patients with vascular parkinsonism, hypointensity was observed in globus pallidus in 94.4%. in putamen in 58.3% in head of caudate in 33.3%, in substantia nigra in 72.2%,& in red nucleus in 52.8% There was no significant linear trend in the association between signal intensity of above structures and the presence of vascular parkinsonism (p>0 05 on Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test) However, the correlation between the degree of white matter lesions and the presence of vascular parkinsonism was statistically significant (p=003). Conclusions : Our GE-MRI study fails to prove that iron content of various BG structures in patients with vascular parkinsonism is different from controls.

Background : CD14 is the receptor for lipopolysaccharides and heat shock protein (HSP), which has been suggested being associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated whether the response to infectious agents or HSP is different according to CD14 polymorphism in Koreans. Materials and Methods : Antibody titers to Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and human HSP60 (hHSP60) were measured in 48 patients with stable CAD and in 41 healthy controls by ELISA. CD14 genotype was determined by PCR and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was measured. Results : Seropositivity to C. pneumoniae and H. pylori, and antibody titer to hHSP60 were not significantly associated with the presence of CAD. CD14 genotype distribution was 31 TT (35%), 43 CT (48%), and 15 CC (17%). To compare the response to the infectious organism and hHSP60, we divided study population into 3 groups; CAD patients with non-TT genotype (group I, n=30), CAD patients with TT genotype (group II, n=18), and normal controls (group III, n=41). Seropositivity to C. pneumoniae and H. pylori, and antibody titer to hHSP60 were not significantly different among 3 groups. Though hs-CRP level was significantly different among 3 groups, post-Hoc analysis showed that hs-CRP level was not significantly different between group I and group II (group I: 1.6[1.1-3.5] mg/L and group II: 0.35[0.1-2.0] mg/L). Conclusions : This study suggests that the inflammatory responses to infectious organisms and HSP do not differ according to the CD14 genotype in Koreans. 목적 : 만성적인 세균 감염이나 자가 면역 반응이 동맥경화와 연관되어 있다는 주장이 제기되어 왔다. CD14은 lipopolysaccharides (LPS)와 heat shock protein(HSP)의 수용체로 C(-260)→T 다형성이 관상동맥 질환의 위험과 관련되어 있다고 제안되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 한국인에서 CD14 다형성에 따른 LPS와 HSP에 대한 반응성을 염증표지자를 측정하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 안정형 관상동맥 환자 48명과 정상 대조군 41명을 대상으로 Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori 항체 및 인체 HSP60 (hHSP60) 항체 역가를 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) 방법으로 측정하였다. CD14 유전자형은 중합효소연쇄반응을 이용하여 결정하였고 hs-CRP를 측정하였다. 결과 : C. pneumonias 및 H. pylori 항체 양성 여부 및 항체 역가, 그리고 hHSP60에 대한 항체 역가는 안정형 관상동맥 질환의 유무와 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. CD14 유전자형의 분포는 TT 30명(39%), CT 31명(40%), 그리고 CC 16명(21%)이었다. 관상동맥 질환 군에서 TT 유전자형은 38%, 대조군에서는 32%로 TT 유전자형과 관상동맥 질환의 유무와는 유의한 상관관계가 발견되지 않았다(P>0.05). CD14 유전자형에 따라 C. pneumonias와 H.pylori 감염 및 hHSP60에 따른 반응에 차이가 있는지 여 부를 알아보기 위해, 관상동맥 질환 군을 다시 TT 유전자형 군과 non-TT 유전자형 군으로 나누어, 전체적으로 세군에서 항체 양성률과 역가를 비교하였다(I군: CD14 TT 유전자형을 가진 안정형 관상동맥 환자, II군: CD14 TT 유전자형을 가진 안정형 관상동맥 환자, III군: 정상 대조군). 세 군에서 C. pneumonias와 H. pylori 항체 양성률 및 hHSP60 항체 역가에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 세 군사이에 hs-CRP 값에 유의한 차이가 있었지만, post-Hoc분석에서 II군의 hs-CRP 값이 I군에 비해 유의하게 높지는 않았다(0.35 [0.1-2.0] mg/L in group II vs. 1.6 [1.1-3.5]mg/L in group I, P>0.05). 결론 : 본 연구는 한국인에서 CD14 유전자형에 따라 LPS나 HSP에 대한 반응이 유의하게 다르지 않음을 시사한다.

SPA0355 attenuates ischemia/reperfusion-induced liver injury in mice

Bae, Ui-Jin,Yang, Jae Do,Ka, Sun-O,Koo, Jeung-Hyun,Woo, Seong Ji,Lee, Young-Rae,Yu, Hee Chul,Cho, Baik Hwan,Zhao, Hui-Yuan,Ryu, Jae-Ha,Lee, Sang-Myeong,Jeon, Raok,Park, Byung-Hyun Nature Publishing Group 2014 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.46 No.8

<P>Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to oxidative stress and acute inflammatory responses that cause liver damage and have a considerable impact on the postoperative outcome. Much research has been performed to develop possible protective techniques. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of SPA0355, a synthetic thiourea analog, in an animal model of hepatic I/R injury. Male C57BL/6 mice underwent normothermic partial liver ischemia for 45 min followed by varying periods of reperfusion. The animals were divided into three groups: sham operated, I/R and SPA0355 pretreated. Pretreatment with SPA0355 protected against hepatic I/R injury, as indicated by the decreased levels of serum aminotransferase and reduced parenchymal necrosis and apoptosis. Liver synthetic function was also restored by SPA0355 as reflected by the prolonged prothrombin time. To gain insight into the mechanism involved in this protection, we measured the activity of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), which revealed that SPA0355 suppressed the nuclear translocation and DNA binding of NF-κB subunits. Concomitantly, the expression of NF-κB target genes such as <I>IL-1</I>β<I>, IL-6, TNF-</I>α and <I>iNOS</I> was significantly downregulated. Lastly, the liver antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione were upregulated by SPA0355 treatment, which correlated with the reduction in serum malondialdehyde. Our results suggest that SPA0355 pretreatment prior to I/R injury could be an effective method to reduce liver damage.</P>

In-Hospital Medical Complications and Long-Term Mortality After Ischemic Stroke

Bae, Hee-Joon,Yoon, Doo-Sang,Lee, Juneyoung,Kim, Byung-Kun,Koo, Ja-Seong,Kwon, Ohyun,Park, Jong-Moo Ovid Technologies Wolters Kluwer -American Heart A 2005 Stroke Vol.36 No.11

<P>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Inhospital medical complications account for a considerable portion of deaths during the early stage of stroke. However, relatively few studies have examined their long-term effects on mortality in stroke patients. METHODS: We prospectively and consecutively collected data on 579 patients with acute ischemic stroke from November 1998 to February 2001. Mortality was confirmed using national death certificate data from 1999 to 2003. RESULTS: During admission, one or more medical complications requiring intervention developed in 160 of these 579 patients (27.6%). For these 160 subjects, the 30-day, 90-day, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year mortalities were 16.3, 29.4, 46.9, 55.6, 61.3, and 70.7%, whereas the mortality figures for those without such complications (n=419) were 1.4, 3.8, 8.8, 15.0, 19.1, and 22.4 (P<0.001 with log-rank test). To eliminate the short-term effects of these complications and thus reveal their long-term effects, we investigated differences in mortality versus the presence of inhospital complications at more than 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after stroke, respectively. Cox's proportional hazard regression analysis was applied at these times after stroke and showed that all hazard ratios of medical complications in terms of mortality were statistically larger than one, regardless of adjusting for effects of potential predictors on mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that stroke patient mortality is influenced by inhospital medical complications significantly up to the chronic stage. This finding suggests that the appropriate prevention and management of inhospital complications could improve short-term and long-term prognoses after stroke.</P>
