We examined the effects of steptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes on cell proliferation and neuroblasts in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (SZDG) of male Wistar rats. Change in memory function was also investigated using the passive avoidance test. In the SZDG, Ki67 (a marker for cell proliferation) positive nuclei were significantly decreased at 2 and 3 weeks and slightly decreased at 4 weeks after STZ treatment. Doublecortin (DCX, a marker for neuronal differentiation)-immunoreactive (+) neuroblasts with tertiary dendrites were significantly decreased in the STZ-treated group compared to those in the vehicle-treated group. However, DCX+ neuroblasts without tertiary dendrites were abundant at 4 weeks after STZ treatment. In addition, retention latency time in STZ-treated group was similar to that of vehicle-treated group at 2 and 3 weeks after STZ treatment. However, the retention latency time was significantly decreased at 4 weeks after STZ treatment. These results suggest that STZ significantly reduced cell proliferation and neuroblasts at 2~3 weeks after STZ treatment, but not at 4 weeks after STZ treatment although memory impairment was detected at 4 weeks after STZ treatment. The gradual reduction of DCX+ neuroblasts with tertiary dendrites may be associated with the impairment of hippocampus-related memory function.

In this report, we present a case of the male pseudohermaphrodite in a beagle dog. The animal was subjected for examination due to enlargement of clitoris that was shown as reddish finger-like structure protruding from the vulva. Visual examination of the internal genitalia revealed that the animal possessed both testes and uterus. Based on the findings of physical examination and exploratory laparotomy, it was tentatively diagnosed as male pseudohermaphrodite. Internal genitalia and enlarged clitoris were removed for the prevention of pyometra and Sertoli cell tumor.

The inverted papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma are common neoplasia in the sinonasal cavity and nasopharynx, but the incidence of these tumors are very low and the study on the oncogenesis or biological activity of the tumor cells are not well known. This study was designed to evaluate the oncogenic roles of the p53 gene and the proliferative activity of the tumor cells in the inflammatory polyp, inverted papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma. The experiment was carried by the immunohistochemical stains about the p53 protein, PCNA and Ki-67, histochemical stain about the AgNORs. and flow cytometric analysis about the DNA ploidy using the formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues. The frequency of the expression of p53 protein was 0%(0/16 cases) in the inflammatory polyps, 18.8% (3/16 cases) in the inverted papillomas, and 87.5%(14/16 cases) in the squamous cell carcinomas. The labelling index(%) of the PCNA and Ki-67 was 5.3% and 3.3% in the inflammatoy polyps, 29.6% and 25.2% in the inverted papillomas, and 51.9% and 36.8% in the squamous cell carcinoma. The expression of the PCNA and Ki-67 was distributed in the periphery of the tumor islands of the inverted papilloma and was distributed in the both of center and periphery of the tumor islands of the squamous cell carcinoma. The number of nuclear AgNORs was increased in the order of inflammatory polyps (0.96), inverted papillomas(1.34) and squamous cell carcinoma(2.09). The frequency of the DNA aneuploidy was 0%(0/16 cases) in the inflammatory polyps, 18.8%(3/16 cases) in the inverted papillomas. and 12.5%(2/16 cases) in the squamous cell carcinomas. Above results indicates that the changes of the p53 gene and proliferative activity of the tumor cells are involved on the oncogenesis and the biological activity of the inverted papilloma or squamous cell carcinoma in the nasopharynx and sinonasa cavity.

Yoo, Dae Young,Shin, Bich Na,Kim, In Hye,Kim, Woosuk,Kim, Dae Won,Yoo, Ki-Yeon,Choi, Jung Hoon,Lee, Choong Hyun,Yoon, Yeo Sung,Choi, Soo Young,Won, Moo-Ho,Hwang, In Koo Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers 2012 Neurochem Res Vol.37 No.2

<P>Oxidative stress is one of the most important factors in reducing adult hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult brain. In this study, we observed the effects of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) on lipid peroxidation, cell proliferation, and neuroblast differentiation in the mouse dentate gyrus using malondialdehyde (MDA), Ki67, and doublecortin (DCX), respectively. We constructed an expression vector, PEP-1, fused PEP-1 with SOD1, and generated PEP-1-SOD1 fusion protein. We administered PEP-1 and 100 or 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1 intraperitoneally once a day for 3 weeks and sacrificed at 30 min after the last administrations. PEP-1 administration did not change the MDA levels compared to those in the vehicle-treated group, while PEP-1-SOD1 treatment significantly reduced MDA levels compared to the vehicle-treated group. In the PEP-1-treated group, the number of Ki67-positive nuclei was similar to that in the vehicle-treated group. In the 100 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated group, the number of Ki67-positive nuclei was slightly decreased; however, in the 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated group, Ki67-positive nuclei were decreased to 78.5% of the vehicle-treated group. The number of DCX-positive neuroblasts in the PEP-1-treated group was similar to that in the vehicle-treated group. However, the arborization of DCX-positive neuroblasts was significantly decreased in both the 100 and 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated groups compared to that in the vehicle-treated group. The number of DCX-positive neuroblasts with tertiary dendrites was markedly decreased in the 500 관g PEP-1-SOD1-treated group. These results suggest that a SOD1 supplement to healthy mice may not be necessary to modulate cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus.</P>

그루지아의 전통 발효유로부터 유산 생성과 항균성이 우수한 3주의 균주를 최종 분리, 선발하고 각각 Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L bulga G82), Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acid G86), 그리고, Streptococcus thermophilus (S. thermo G90)로 동정하였다. 이들 유산균을 starter로 요구르트를 제조하여 이화학적 특성을 조사한 결과, pH는 4.0∼4.5의 범위를 보였으며, pH 4.0으로 L. acid G86 균주가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 또한 0.1N HCl에 대한 완충능은 4.50∼5.12ml, 0.1N NaOHdp 대한 완충능은 3.74∼4.98ml의 범위를 보였고, 3 균주 중 L acid G86 균주가 산-염기에 대하여 가장 높은 완충능을 나타내었다. 산도는 0.95∼1.16%, 점도는 1,984∼2,232 cps 그리고 생균수는 1.4x109∼3.0x109으로 조사 되었다. in vitro에서의 콜레스테롤 저하 정도는 L. acid G86 균주가 약 35%로 가장 높은 저하 정도를 보였고, L. bulga G82와 S. thermo G90 균주는 각각 약 32%, 24%이었다. Three strains of inhibitory lactic acid bacteria against pathogenic microorganism were isolated from traditional fermented milk of Georgia, and than, identified to be Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L bulga G82), Lactobacillus acidophilus (L acid G86) and Streptococcus thermophilus (S. thermo G90), respectively. These strains were used to starter for yogurts. So, we made yogurts, and evaluated their phyco-chemical properties. The range of pH value was 4.0∼4.5, and L. acid G86 strain was the lower pH value for 4,0. The buffer capacity against 0.1N HCI and 0.1N NaOH were 4,50~5.12ml and 3.74~4.98ml. The acidity, viscosity and viable cell counts of yogurt were 0.95∼1/16%, 1.984∼2,232 cps and 1.4x109∼3.0x109, respectively. Among the three strains, L. acid G86 strain was have the best ability of lowering cholesterol level in vitro, the value were about 35%. The L. bulga G82 and S. thermo G90 were around 32% and 24%, respectively.

정숙인,박경화,권기태,고관수,오원섭,정두련,백경란,염준섭,장현하,김신우,손준성,송재훈 대한감염학회 2007 감염과 화학요법 Vol.39 No.4

Background : This study was performed to evaluate the prescribing pattern of β-lactam antibiotics and the relationship between antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use in 5 tertiary care hospitals in Korea. Materials and Methods : Data on annual patient-days and annual consumption (defined daily dose (DDD) per 100 patient-days) of β-lactam antibiotics from 2003 to 2005 in 5 tertiary hospitals were analyzed. To determine the antimicrobial resistance in K. pneumoniae, broth microdilution test and double disk synergy were performed according to the CLSI performance standards. Spearman's correlation coeffient was used to determine the relationship between antibiotic consumption and resistance. Results : The prescription of β-lactam antibiotics in 5 tertiary hospitals markedly varied. In two hospitals, increase in consumption of β-lactam antibiotics was more than 30% during recent 3 years. The higher consumption of β-lactam antibiotics significantly correlated with the higher rate of antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae in 5 tertiary care hospitals. Conclusion : Continuous surveillance of antibiotic use is needed to encourage appropriate prescribing of antibiotics and to reduce antibiotic resistance. 목적 : 항생제의 오남용으로 인한 내성균의 발현 및 급속한 확산이 전세계적으로 문제시 되고 있다. 특히 병원은 항생제 내성의 중심점에 있는 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 최근 3년간 국내 5개 3차 병원의 β-lactam계 항생제의 사용량을 조사하고, 각 병원별 항생제 사용량과 K. pneumoniae의 항생제 내성률과의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 국내 5개 3차 병원에서 2003년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 병원 입원 환자를 대상으로 연도별 재원연인원수와 각 β-lactam계 항생제의 총사용량을 수집하여 DDD (defined daily dose) per 100 patient-days로 환산하여 비교하였다. 2005년 6월부터 8월까지 각 병원의 임상검체에서 동정된 K. pneumoniae를 수집하여 액체배지미량희석법으로 항생제 감수성 검사를 시행하였고 ESBL(extended-spectrum β-lactamase) 생성 여부는 double disk synergy test를 시행하였다. 항생제 사용량과 내성의 상관관계는 Spearman 상관관계 분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 5개 병원 중 3개 병원에서는 연도별 β-lactam계 항생제 사용량이 비슷하게 유지되었으나, 2개 병원에서는 2003년에 비해 2005년에 항생제 사용량이 30% 이상 증가하였다. β-lactam계 항생제 중 제제별 비율은 각 병원마다 차이가 있었으나, 3세대 cephaosporin의 사용이 가장 많았고 2세대 ceaphlosporin, β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor, 1세대 cephalosporin 순이었다. 경구용 β-1actam계 항생제의 사용량(r=0.900, P<0.037)과 2세대 cephalosporin의 사용량(r=0.900, P<0.037)은 각각 K. pneumoniae의 ESBL 생성과 양의 상관관계가 있었다. Ceftazidime의 사용량은 K. pneumoniae의 ceftazidime 내성률과 양의 상관관계가 있었다(r=0.900, P<0.037). 반면 imipenem의 사용량은 piperacillin/tazobactam 내성과 음의 상관관계가 있었다(r=-0.900, P<0.037). 결론 : 최근 3개년간 항생제 사용량은 병원별로 차이가 있으나 일부 병원에서는 증가하였다. β-lactam계 항생제의 사용량은 K. pneumoniae의 항생제 내성과 상관관계가 있었다. 항생제 사용을 줄임으로써 항생제 내성을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 병원별로 항생제 사용에 대한 지속적인 감시가 필요할 것이다.

정숙인,김연숙,기현균,김춘관,김신우,이혁,김성민,백경란,송재훈 대한화학요법학회 1999 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.17 No.3

배경 : 방선균증은 혐기성의 그람양성 간균에 의한 만성 화농성 감염으로, 경안면부, 흉부, 복부, 골반부 등을 주로 침범한다. 최근 구강 위생의 향상과 항생제의 사용으로 인해 방선균증의 빈도의 감소와 함께 그 임상양상 또한 크게 변화하였다. 저자들은 국내에서의 방선균증의 임상상을 분석하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1995년 5월부터 1998년 9월까지 삼성서울병원에서 방선균증으로 진단받은 환자를 대상으로 임상기록지를 토대로 감염병소와 임상경과 등을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 방선균증 환자는 모두 12명으로 경안면부 1례, 흉부 3례, 복부 3례, 골반부 5례였다. 임상양상은 주로 종괴의 형태로 나타나 진단을 내리기까지 종양과의 감별에 어려웠으며 진단은 모두 조직검사나 흡인액에서 유황과립을 확인함으로써 이루어졌다. 방선균증으로 진단된 환자는 모두 호전소견을 보였다. 결론 : 국내에서도 방선균증이 드물지 않게 발생하고 있으며 임상양상이 다양하여 가장 많이 오진되는 질환 중의 하나이다. 방선균증은 조직검사나 균배양검사를 통해 진단하고 항생제를 통해 완치될 수 있는 질환이므로 환자 진단에 관심을 가지면 불필요한 수술을 피할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Background: Actinomycosis is an indolent, slowly progressive bacterial infection, caused by Actinomyces. a gram-positive, non-spore-forming anaerobic or microaerophilic rod. Actinomycosis affects nearly every organ and body site. The disease is classically divided into four types, depending on the anatomic sites involved: cervicofacial, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic. It has been considered as a rare disease, and only several cases have been reported in Korea. We performed this study to analyse the clinical manifestations of actinomycosis in Korea. Method: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with actinomycosis at the Samsung Medical Center from May 1995 to December 1998. Results: During the study period, actinomycosis was diagnosed in 12 patients: 1 patient had cervicofacial lesion, 3 thoracic, 3 abdominal, and 5 pelvic. The male and female ratio was 1 : 2 and the mean age was 47.2 years. Sulfur granule was observed in the pathologic specimens from all cases, but organism did not grow at all. It was very difficult to differentiate actinomycosis from tumorous conditions without pathologic diagnosis. All patients were clinically improved with antibiotics or surgical procedures. Conclusion: Actinomycosis is not a rare disease nowadays and has various clinical manifestations. It can be diagnosed by pathologic examination or culture and cured by antibiotics without surgical management.

기현균,김연숙,정숙인,김춘관,김신우,김성민,백경란,송재훈 대한화학요법학회 2000 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.18 No.3

목적 : Mefliquine은 가장 널리 사용되는 말라리아의 화학적 예방약이지만 경련, 정신병 증상 등의 심각한 신경학적 부작용을 포함한 여러 가지 부작용을 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 부작용은 인종간에 차이가 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나 아직까지 우리나라에서는 mefloquine에 대한 내약성에 관한 구체적인 자료가 없다. 이에 저자 등은 한국인에서의 mefloquine의 내약성을 전향적으로 조사하였다. 방법 : 1997년 6월부터 1999년 4월까지 삼성서울병원 여행의학 클리닉에 내원한 총 180명의 열대열 말라리아 위험지역으로 여행하고자 하는 여행객들을 대상으로 하였으며 이들은 여행 1주전부터 귀국 후 4주까지 mefloquine을 주 1회 복용하였다. 이들에게 여행자 수첩을 배부하고 약제 복용 후 발생한 증상을 기록하도록 하였고 동시에 여행자들에 대한 전향적 관찰 및 병록지 검토를 시행하였으며 귀국 후 3개월째 전화조사를 시행하여 mefloquine복용 당시의 부작용과 동반증상 여부에 관하여 평가하였다. 성적 : 총 180명의 여행자가 연구에 포함되었으며 이중 166명에 대하여 평가를 시행하였다(166/180, 92.2%). 연구대상 중 남자가 104명(104/166, 62.7%), 여자가 62명이었고(62/166, 37.3%) 평균연령은 36.4세였다(36.4±15.2). Mefloquine은 평균 6주간 투여하였다. 평가에 포함된 여행자 166명 중 4명에서 부작용이 나타났으며(2.4%) 부작용 발현건수는 6건이었다(3.6%). 나타난 부작용은 현기증이 2건(1.2%), 비정상적인 꿈, 수면장애, 기분저하, 발열이 각각 1건씩 발생하였다. 이중 증상과 약제와의 관련성이 있는 경우는 1명에서만 나타났으며(0.6%) 투약을 중지한 후 증상이 소실되었다. 나머지 3명의 여행자는 모두 mefloquine을 처음 복용할 당시에 일시적인 증상이 있었으나 부작용과의 인과관계는 확실하지 않았고 증상은 곧 소실되었다. 연구대상 환자 중 말라리아가 발병한 증례는 없어 100%의 예방효과를 보였다. 결론 : 총 166명의 연구대상 중에서 mefloquine에 대한 내약성이 불량한 경우는 1예 였으며(0.6%), 심각한 신경학적, 정신과적 부작용은 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 한국인 여행객들의 mefloquine에 대한 내약성이 우수함을 시사한다. Background : Mefloquine is the most commonly used chemoprophylactic agent against malaria. Many kinds of adverse reactions of mefloquine including neuropsychiatric adverse reactions, have been reported. It has been thought that the incidence of mefloquine-related adverse reactions may be different among the races. Since data on Korean people are not available, we investigated the incidence of mefloquine-related adverse reactions in Korean travelers prospectively. Methods : We gave a notebook to each visitor to Travel Medicine Clinic of the Samsung Medical Center, who had a plan to take a trip to the endemic area of malaria by Plasmodium falciparum. The study duration was from June 1997 to April 1999. They took mefloquine weekly from I week before the trip to 4 weeks after the trip. They wrote any adverse reactions on the notebooks by themselves. We surveyed the travelers by clinical observation, reviewing the medical records and telephone interview at 3 months after the trip. Results : One hundred eighty travelers were included in the study and 166 of them were evaluable (166/180. 92.2%). One hundren four travelers were male (104/166, 62.7%). The mean age of travelers were 36.4 years (36.4±15.2 years). The median duration of chemoprophylaxis were 6 weeks. Four of the enrolled travelers had adverse reactions (4/166, 2.4%) and six episodes of adverse reactions were occurred (6/166, 3.6%) : dizziness (2 cases), bizzare dream (1 case), sleep disturbance (1 case), mood change (1 case), and febrile sense (1 case). Only one traveler with persistent dizziness stopped mefloquine, and then dizziness was relieved. The other symptoms were transient, which were relieved despite continuation of mefloquine. No case of malaria was found in this study. Conclusion : Only one episode of adverse reactions was thought to be related to the mefloquine (0.6%). No case of severe neuropsychiatric adverse reactions was observed. This study suggests that mefloquine tolerance in Korean travelers is excellent.

어린이에서 함치성 낭과 연관된 매복 소구치와 대구치의 치료

신차욱,김영재,김정욱,장기택,이상훈,김종철,한세현 大韓小兒齒科學會 2008 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.35 No.4

치아 매복은 어린이 환자 진료시에 자주 관찰되는 맹출 장애이다. 어린 환자에서 매복된 치아가 존재하는 경우,함치성 낭과 연관이 있을 가능성이 높다. 함치성 낭은 제3대구치를 제외하고는 상악 견치,하악 소구치 부위에서 가장 호발하며,점진적인 증식으로 악골이 팽윤되어 안모를 변화시키며,주위 악골의 파괴와 치근의 흡수를 야기하거나 침범된 치아의 변위를 유발할 수 있으므로,조기 진단과 적절한 치료가 무엇보다도 중요하다. 함치성 낭과 연관된 치아가 과잉치나 지치라면,치아의 발거를 포함한 완전한 낭종 적출술이 적절한 치료라 할 수 있지만,그렇지 않은 경우에는 환자의 심리적,정선적 외상을 예방하기 위해 원인 치아의 보존이 고려되어야 할 것이다. 이뿐만 아니라,치아의 변위 정도,골 파괴 정도,치근의 성숙도,주위 치아와의 관계,환자의 교합과 구강 악안면 영역의 성장 양상 등도 같이 고려되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 본 증례에서는 위와 같은 사항들을 고려하여,함치성 낭과 연관된 매복 소구치와 대구치블 낭종 적출술 후 공간 유지,외과적 수술과 교정적 견인,외과작 발거 후 교정적 배열 등의 방법을 통해 양호한 치료 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. Tooth impaction is a frequently observed eruption anomaly in pediatric dental practice. Young patients with impacted or unerupted teeth have more prediction for dentigerous cyst formation. Dentigerous cyst presents radiographic features. unilocular or multilocular radioluscency. Cysts occur most frequently in the premolar region except third molar. Dentigerous cysts can grow to a considerable size, and large cysts may be associated with a painless expansion of the bone in the involved area. Extensive lesions may result in facial asymmetry, osseous destruction, root resorption of proximal teeth and displacement of associated tooth. The nature of the causative tooth influences the type of surgical treatrnent required for the dentigerous cyst. If the cyst is associated with a supernumerary or wisdom tooth. complete enucleation of the cyst along with extraction of tooth may be the first treatment choice. Otherwise. preservation of the associated teeth should be considered to prevent a young patient from psychological and mental trauma because of the loss of tooth. We should consider the degree of tooth displacement. osseous destruction and growth pattern of oromaxillofacial area when planning treatment. Thus a proper and logical treatment planning can help a proper growth and development of oromaxillofacial area and can save the patient from a psychological and mental trauma. This report describes 4 cases of the management of impacted premolars and molars associated with dentigerous cysts in children.

신호준,이창훈,조인희,김인애,이용재,박기동,신정욱 한국공작기계학회 2004 한국공작기계학회 춘계학술대회논문집 Vol.2004 No.-

Utilizing the electrospinning technique nanofiber-based biodegradable scaffolds made of PLGA was suggested. Under various conditions, their diameters and porosity as well as mechanical strength were evaluated. In addition to those, cell(chondrocyte) proliferation and formation of extracelluar matrices were also investigated along with the conventional membrane type PLGA scaffolds for the potential use in tissue engineering. As conclusions, this type of scaffold showed a potential of application to tissue engineering in view of mechanical stability as well as cellular responses.
