<P>In the present study, we investigated neuronal death/damage in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 region (CA1) and compared changes in some trophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in the CA1 between the adult and young gerbils after 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia. Most of pyramidal neurons (89%) were damaged 4 days after ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) in the adult; however, in the young, about 59% of pyramidal neurons were damaged 7 days after I-R. The immunoreactivity and levels of BDNF and VEGF, not GDNF, in the CA1 of the normal young were lower than those in the normal adult. Four days after I-R in the adult group, the immunoreactivity and levels of BDNF and VEGF were distinctively decreased, and the immunoreactivity and level of GDNF were increased. However, in the young group, all of their immunoreactivities and levels were much higher than those in the normal young group. From 7 days after I-R, all the immunoreactivities and levels were apparently decreased compared to those of the normal adult and young. In brief, we confirmed our recent finding: more delayed and less neuronal death occurred in the young following I-R, and we newly found that the immunoreactivities of trophic factors, such as BDNF, GDNF, and VEGF, in the stratum pyramidale of the CA1 in the young gerbil were much higher than those in the adult gerbil 4 days after transient cerebral ischemia.</P>

목적: 국내에서도 국소진동에 의한 수지진동증후군이 다수 있을 것으로 추정하나 최근에 이에 대한 보고가 적어 부·울·경 직업병감시체계를 통하여 수지진동증후군에 대한 환례를 수집하여 이의 역학적 특성을 밝히고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 방법: 2001년 44월부터 2002년 12월까지 부산, 울산, 경남지역에 있는 종합병원 9곳을 통하여 특수 건강진단과 산업의학과 외래를 방문한 근로자를 대상으로 진동폭로에 대한 설문조사를 실시하고 이들중에서 수지진동으로 인한 증상을 호소하는 근로자는 이학적 검사와 Stockholm workshop scale을 이용하여 수지진동증후군이 있는지 평가하였다. 결과: 남자 188명, 여자 4명 등 총 192례의 수진진동증후군이 의심되는 환례를 수집하였으며, 업종별로는 조선업에 종사하는 근로자들이 가장 많았다. 국소진동의 주된 폭로원은 그라인더가 가장 많았으며, 혈관장해로 인한 증상보다 감각신경성 장해로 인한 증상을 많이 호소하였다. 결론: 전국적으로 조선업종의 그라인더 사용자를 중심으로 많은 수의 수지진동증후군의 환자가 있을 것으로 추정되며, 이들에 대한 예방대책을 마련하기 위하여 전국규모의 정확한 유병률 조사 및 실태파악이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. Objects: The objectives of this study were to estimate the epidemiologic characteristics of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) due to occupational exposure of hand transmitted vibration and to identify the occupations and industries where such exposures arises, and the main sources of exposure. Methods: In April 2001 the Busan, Ulsan, and Kyung-Nam Province occupational disease surveillance system was established to measure the incidence and prevalence of work-relatd HAVS and other occipational diseases in these Korean provinces. Occupational physicians of nine hospitals in Busan, Ulsan, and Kyung-nam Province were involved in this project between April 2001 and November 2002. Physicians collected information through questionnaires and interviews. Information gathered included age, occupation, types of vibration tools used and presence of subkective symptoms such as vibration-induced white finger (VWF), numbness and tingling. Results: A total 192 cases were reported with 188 males and 4 females. The shipbuilding industry was the most common type of industry and grinders were the most common source of exposire. Symptoms of neurological disorder were more common than those of vascular disprder. Conclusions: The authors concluded that exposure to hand transmitted vibration is common and that HAVS is one of the most common occupational diseases in Korea. However, the range and extent of hand transmitted vibration and the overall prevalence of HAVS in Korea is still unknown. More extensive research on this syndrome in order to priorite necessary preventive measures is required.

Backgrounds and Objectives: Vascular dementia is a group of dementing disoders arising from various stroke syndrome. Among these. subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD) is regarded as a relatively distinct clinical entity. However, MRI patterns of SIVD are not homogenous. In some patients, lacunes are dominant, and in others, subcortical white matter changes are. This study was designed to compare risk factor profiles between SIVD with and without multiple lacunes. Methods: We divided 47 subjects (22 males, mean age. 68 years) recruited from VADAPET (Multicenter Trial For Evaluation Of The Changes In the PET Images Of Subcortical Vascular Dementia Patient) study into two groups one with more than 5 lacunes in deep gray matter (lacune group) and the other with 5 or less(non-lacune group) Clinical characteristics and laboratory findings of two groups were compared. Results: Nineteen of 47 patients (40%) belonged to the lacune group. The lacune and non-lacune groups d d not differ in the following variables: age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia heart disease, history of stroke or TIA, history of trauma or major surgery, family history of hypertension stroke, or dementia, age at diagnosis of dementia, body mass index, white blood cell count, ESR, CRP, fibrinogen, hemoglobin A1C, total cholesterol. LDL cholesterol creatinine, proteinuria, glucosuria, and microhematuria. However, male sex, smoking alcohol. hemoglobin, and HDL cholesterol were possibly associated more with lacune group SIVD than with non-lacune group (p<0 1) Multivariate analyses revealed that smoking, hemoglobin, and HDL cholesterol were independent predictors of SIVD with multiple lacunes Conclusion: Our study suggests that SIVD with multiple lacunes may be significantly different in smoking habits hemoglobin, and HDL cholesterol from SIVD without multiple lacunes.

To examine whether salt stress would alter or not contractility of isolated rat aorta. under anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital(50 mg Kg-1 i.p.), male Sprague Dawley rats(300-330 g) N%ere subjected to 0, 50, and 150 mM of sodium chloride at 37℃ for 60 min. Where as the sham group was left at modified Krebs-bicarbonate solution, To measure contractile response of vascular ring preparation isolated from rat was determined in organ bath and was recorded on physiograph connected to isometric transducer. And the strip was checked for expression of heat shock protein(Hsp) by Western blotting. One, three and eight hours later. N%e measured vascular contractility of isolated rat aorta treated with KCI, phenylephrine from organ bath study. The dose-vascular responses of potassium chloride and phenylephrine showed a little augmentation by NaCl concentration in the strips exposed to NaCl for & hours. And the response of relaxation induced by nitroprusside and acetylcholine was not influenced by NaCl stress in isolated aorta ring for 8 hours. respectively. Expression pattern of Hsp 70 of vascular muscle in isolated rat aorta showed a little increase in 150 mM NaCl group at 8 hours after NaCl treatment but not at 3 hours. and Hsp 60 expression of rat aorta was markedly increased in 50 mM NaCl group at 8 hours after NaCl treatment. Taken together, NaCl induced dose- and time dependent accumulation of the Hsp but not affected contraction of rat aorta. These data suggest that short term high salt stress was not sufficient to induce hypertension of rat aorta.

A search for the genes expressed only in gastric cancer may help to define molecular alterations or aid in diagnosis of gastric cancer. Recently, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) has been used as an effective technique for detection of differentially expressed genes. We discovered a noble gene which belongs to the Reg family in stomach cancer tissue using the SSH technique. We identified and named the Reg Ⅳ gene that is highly expressed only in gastric tumor tissue. The Reg family gene has a lot of functions of the growth factor and gene regulation. The cathepsin L-12 gene, which is known to exhibit increased expression in breast cancer and some inflammatory conditions, is also expressed in stomach cancer. Expressions were verified by reverse Northern blot analysis and Northern blot analysis. We expect these genes to be used as an important tool for the diagnosis and/or understanding of the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

동해안 연안어항 해수중의 COD 및 중금속 함량에 관한 연구

김영철,주충열,신응배 漢陽大學校 環境工學硏究所 1999 環境科學論文集 Vol.20 No.-

동해 연안 일부어항의 해수에 대한 수질환경 자료로 DO, ?? 총질소, 총인 그리고 납, 카드뮴, 크롬, 비소 및 수은 등의 중금속을 측정·조사하였다. 측정결과, DO 5.1∼6.2㎎/l, ?? 0.9∼2.7㎎/l, 납 trace∼0.054㎎/l, 카드뮴 trace∼0.004㎎/l, 비소 trace∼0.002㎎/l, 그리고 수은 trace로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 오염의 정도를 판단하기는 어려우나 환경부가 정한 해역의 수질환경기준과 비교하여 볼 때 중금속으로 인한 오염문제는 크게 우려할 수준이 아니나 일부어항의 ?? 용존산소, 총질소, 총인의 농도로 판단할 때 Ⅱ등급 또는 Ⅲ등급 수질로 나타났다. 이들 지역이 선박이 정착하거나 출입하는 어항임을 감안할 때 비교적 양호한 결과인 것으로 분석된다. The seawater was sampled from the East Coast and the contents of DO, ?? total nitrogen, total phosphates, and heavy metals(Pb, Cd, As, Hg) in the water were measured and analyzed. DO 5.1∼6.2㎎/l, ??0.9∼2.7㎎/l, total nitrogen<0.131㎎/l, total phosphate <0.019㎎/l, Pb <0.0542㎎/l, Cd<0.0038㎎/l, As<0.0016㎎/l, and Hg(trace) were detected by the analytical techniquies such as UV-visible spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry. The results shows that heavy metal contamination of the East Coast is equivalent to the detection limits of the first grade seawater. But, the amount of DO, ?? total nitrogen, total phosphates shown above indicates that the seawater in the East Coast is of second or third quality. In conclusion, the samples cannot be justified as the first quality. Considering that the sampling sites were seaports, the seawater in the East Coast is not seriously contaminated.

김성희,이충원,전영호 대한보건협회 2000 대한보건연구 Vol.26 No.1

This survey measured the levels of risk behaviors in six categories in high school students in Taegu, to collect basic data to develop school health policy and health promotion programs. The target population was high school students in Taegu. Out of 136,973 students, 1,853 were sampled through stratification of gender, class and grade. We used a 1999 version of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey of CDC, which was translated. Many high school students engaged in behaviors that will increase the likelihood of death or illness. Vocational high school students and male students were significantly more likely than general high sachool and female students respectively, to have risk behaviors in most categories except, physical inactivity. First graders were significantly more likely to have violence-related risk behaviors(<0.05) and second graders were significantly more likely to have depression (<0.05). Third graders were significantly more likely to be physically inactive(<0.01). Almost 70% of students rarely or never wore seat belt. Lack of safety practice was prevalent and significantly undiffered by gender, class and grade. 62.3% had recently drank alcohol, 31.8% had ever tried cigarrette smoking, 67.7% had unhealthy diets behaviors, 62.5% had a low level of physical activity and 5.4% had had sexual intercourse. Conclusion; A High percentage of high school students engaged in risk behaviors and some subgroups were exposed to significantly more risks. Particularly, vocational high school and male students were high risk subgroups.

There are need to develop of merchandise of value added fresh ginseng because of high consciousness level of consumer and enlarge of markets for high quality products. The fresh ginseng after harvest was distributed to farmer partually but in general, it was to market by consigner or wholsaler directly after harvest. There were a high difference on storage period of fresh ginseng in different harvesting seasons. The reduction of value of commodities of fresh ginseng for storage period was caused by decomposition and tender of tissue. The storage temperature was under the freezing point and the packing method was sealing tightly by plastic film. As the quality of fresh ginseng was defined by naked eye, it was difficult to sort the quality of ginseng directly harvest.

목적 : 본 실험은 guanylyl cyclase 억제제로 알려진 methylene blue(MB)가 acetylcholine(ACh) 및 potassium chloride (KCl)에 의하여 야기되는 적출장관수축에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 생쥐의 적출장관을 Magus조내의 Tyrode 영양액중에 현수하고 MB 2×10 exp (-5)mM 존재하에 ACh(1mM) 또는 KCl(67mM)에 의하여 야기되는 장관평활근수축을 처음에 급격히야기되는 phasic수축과 이어 속발지속되는 tonic수축의 변화를 비교 하였다. 결과 : ACh및 KCl에 의한 phasic수축은 MB존재하에서 크게 영향을 받지 아니하나, tonic수축은 현저히 억제되었다. MB에 의한 tonic수축의 억제작용은 MB를 제거한 상태에서도 나타났는데, ACh에 비하여 KCl의 경우 그 억제현상이 더 지속되었다. 결론 : Guanylyl cyclase 억제제인 methylene blue 가 acetylcholine 및 potassium chloride 에 의하여 야기되는 칼슘유리와 관계되는 phasic 수축에 비하여, 칼슘유입과 관계되는 tonic수축이 현저히 억제하는 작용도 있는 것으로 생각된다. To examine effects of methylene blue(MB) on contraction of intestinal smooth muscle, acetylcholine (ACh)- and potassium chloride (KCl)-induced phasic and tonic contractions in the isolated duodenal strips from mice were observed in the presence of MB or not.Sixty minutes after Incubation with 2×10 exp (-2) mM of MB. 1 mM of ACh- and 67 mM of KCl-induced phasic contractions were not affected, but both drug-induced tonic contractions were inhibited. These results show that methylene blue inhibits ACh- or KCl-induced tonic contractions related to extracellar calcium influx rather than phasic contractions related to calcium release.
