Kim, Ji-Hyun,Sim, Youn,Shin, Seung-Won 덕성여자대학교 약학연구소 2005 藥學論文誌 Vol.16 No.1

The combination effects of essential oils from Thymus quinquecostatus and T. magnus with norfloxacin were evaluated against three strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The checkerboard titer test results demonstrated significant combined effects of norfloxacin and the two Thymus oils or thymol, the main component of this oil, against the susceptible and resistant strains of S. pneumoniae, with FICIs ranging from 0.14 to 1.00. Additionally, the anti-Streptococcus effects of the oils were dose-dependent on Tryptic soy agar plates containing 5% defibrinated sheep blood.

Background : Coronary disease is highly prevalent in patient with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and account for much of their observed morbidity and mortality. Troponin-I consistently maintains a high sensitivity and specificity and is most sensitive marker for ischemic heart disease (IHD). Method : We examed 49 hernodialyzed patients (22 male, 27 female) without evidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for 6 months. Biochemical markers were measured in serial predialysis blood samples. For analysis, we used two cardio-specific assays for troponin-T (cTnT) as well as for troponin-I (cTnI) and compared the results with CK-MB (reference value ≤ 4.0 ng/mL) concentration. Results : Myocardial ischemia was observed in 47% (23/49) of patients. cTnT level above 0.1 ng/mL. and cTnI level above 0.5 ng/mL, were observed in 22% (11/49) and 20% (10/49) of patients respectively. cTnI revealed significantly higher positive rate in patients with myocardial ischemia than the patients without myocardial ischemia (43 % vs 30%) (p<0.05). cTnT and CK-MB revealed no difference in positive rate between the patients with and without myocardial ischemia (cTnT : 30% vs 15% and CK-MB : 30% vs 19%). The sensitivity and specificity of cTnI to myocardial ischemia were higher than those of cTnT and CK-MB (sensitivity 43% vs 30% and 30%. specificity 100% vs 85% and 81%). Conclusion: Both cTnT and cTnI are useful in ruling out myocardial injury in chronic renal failure patients. But. cTnI is a more sensitivity and excellent specificity of ischemic heart disease than cTnT and CK-MB in hemodialyzed patients. In patients with ischemic heart disease, the presences of DM and advanced age were higher than those in patients without ischemic heart disease (p<0.05). Among the baseline characteristics old age, elevated LDH and diabeties were significant more frequent in the patients with elevation of cardiac troponin-I (p>0.5 ng/mL) than those with cardiac troponin-I (p<0.5 ng/mL), p=0.038, p=0.049, and p=0.045, respectively. Our results suggest that these cTnI is the potential diagnostic marker for the prediction of IHD in ESRD patients.

Chlorpromazine으로 유발된 음경지속발기증 1례

신유호,윤도준,이충현,송지영,이상철 大韓神經精神醫學會 1996 신경정신의학 Vol.35 No.3

저자들은 항정신병약물 chlorpromazine 치료 중에 음경지속발기증이 발생하여 수술까지 시행하여 회복된 환자 1례를 체험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하였다. 항우울제 trazodone과 함께 chlorpromazine, thioridazine과 같은 항정신병약물이 음경지속발기증의 원인과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 약물에 의해 유발되는 음경지속발기증의 기전에 대해서는 알파-아드레날린 차단으로 인한다는 설이 많은 지지를 받고 있다. 치료는 보존적인 치료와 외과적인 치료가 있으며, 외과적인 치료로는 음경해면체 천자와 흡입 세척술 그리고 분로를 만들어 주는 방법들이 있다. 음경지속발기증은 신속한 진단과 치료를 하지 않을 경우 영구적인 발기불능을 초래할 수도 있는 부작용이므로 향정신약물 투여시 이에 대한 관심과 주의를 가져야 할 것이다. Antipsychotic drugs can induce several sexual side effects. Priapism, one of the side effects, is defined as "the persistent abnormal erection of the penis, which usually occurs without sexual desire". There has been an increasing number of reports recently linking the etiology of priapism with psychotropic medication. The drugs known to be associated with priapism are psychotropic drugs such as trazodone, chlorpromazine, thioridazine as well as antihypertensives, anticoagulants and so on. The mechanism of a drug which induces priapism is proposed to be mediated by its alpha-adrenergic blocking effect. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential. Priapism is a severe side effect, which can lead to impotence if prompt diagnosis and treatment are not carried out. There are medical and surgical treatments for priapism. The surgical treatments usually involve aspiration, irrigation and the creation of shunt. We report a case of priapism which developed after two years of chlorpromazine treatment. He is a 20-year-old man with schizophrenia. He experienced two times of brief episode of prolonged penile erection before developing intractable priapism. He was treated by shunt operation which showed satisfactory relief of priapism. It seemed by this case that duration and dosage of chlorpromazine were not closely related with priapism. Psychiatrist is needed to give attention to the priapism as one of sexual side effects due to antipsychotics though it is not common.

This study attempted to determine the degree of asbestos release from the aging slate roof by comparing the asbestos content in the slate roof rain gutter with a colored steel plate (tin plate) over the slate roof. Four slate roof houses located in Haengmok-ri, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and one house constructed with a colored steel plate on the slate roof were selected to collect the sediment of the roof rain gutter. The asbestos fiber content was calculated by a point counting method using a polarization microscope after pretreatment with conversion treatment and hydrochloric acid treatment. The average asbestos content of the four slate roof rain gutter were 1.89%. However, asbestos was not detected in the Slate covering roof rain gutter, which were constructed on the slate roof. Asbestos fiber content was the highest at 2.89% in the slate roof rain gutter installed in 1976, followed by 2.44% in 1953. From the above results, it is necessary to minimize secondary damage as asbestos fibers released from slate roof houses to the surrounding atmosphere or leaked from slate roofs as rainwater may cause soil pollution and seriously affect residents' health. Although covering with colored steel plates (tin plates) has been shown to prevent the leakage of asbestos fibers to some extent, it is believed that a policy alternative to remove the slate roof as soon as possible is needed to solve the fundamental problem.

The experiments were conducted to determine the factors such as light and darkness, phytohormone and seed coat, influencing on seed germination of Bidens tripartita L. and B. frondosa. The seeds of both species were germinated when seed coat was damaged and weakened GA3 and BA stimulated germination of both species but ABA and IAA had no effect on germination of them, which ranged 50.0% to 80.0%. In B. forndosa, when inner layer of seed coat was removed, germination was highly promoted up to 96.7% compared with 10.0% germination rate in another treatments.

Even thoght the nonketotic hyperglycemia is a metabolic disorder, it complicates hemichorea-hemiballism rarely. Moreover, generalized chorea-ballism associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus is very rare, so has not been reported in Korean literature. Although the precise pathophysiologic mechanisms of these disorders are still poorly understood, deficiency of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in nonketotic hyperglycemia or reduced GABAnergic inhibition by striatal lesion may increase inhibitory output to subthalamic nucleus. These result loss of pallidal inhibition and produce contralateral hemichorea-hemiballism. The striatal lesions, such as transient ischemia with reactive astrocytosis or small amount of petechial hemorrhage, are related with changes of magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings presumably. We report a diabetic old woman who developed generalized chorea-ballismus as a very rare complication of nonketotic hyperglycemia. Her brain MRI showed high signal intensity in left lentiform nucleus and right pallidum on T1 weighted images and low signal intensity in bilateral putamen on T2 weighted images with highly enhanced corresponding lesions on T1 weighted enhancement images.

층상구조 산화물 Na_(x)Co_(x/2)Ti_(1-x/2)O₂(0.66≤x≤1)의 합성 및 결정화학 연구

층상구조 산화물 Na_(x)Co_(x/2)Ti_(1-x/2)O₂(0.66≤x≤1)이 고상합성법에 의해 Ar 분위기, 950℃에서 합성되었다. 단일상 영역은 0.75≤x≤1에서 rhombohedral, x=0.66에서는 primitive hexagnonal 상으로 결정되었고, 0.66<x<0.75에서는 두 개의 상이 공존하는 상 경계가 존재하였다. 두 구조의 결정 화학적 논의가 조성과 연관되어 공유-이온 결합성을 중심으로 이루어졌다. 또한 온도에 따른 자화율 거동을 분석한 결과, 두 구조 내에서 Co^(2+) 이온은 high-spin(S=3/2; ⁴T) 상태임을 알 수 있었고, 자기적 상호 작용에 대해서도 논의되었다. Layer-type oxides Na_(x)Co_(x/2)Ti_(1-x/2)O₂(0.66≤x≤1) have been prepared for the first time by solid-state reaction by heating the appropriate mixtures of starting materials at 950℃ under Ar ambience. They exhibit two kinds of structure according to x, respectively rhombohedral one for 0.75≤x≤1, and primitive hexagonal for x=0.66. Discussion of crystal chemistry of both structure has been made mainly focused to the iono-covalency of Na-O, and correlated to the chemical composition. Magnetic susceptibility measurements confirmed the high-spin state(S=3/2; ⁴T) of Co^(2+) ions in both structures and their magnetic interactions has been also discussed.
