Background: Genetic alterations have been identified in melanomas according to different levels of sun exposure. Whereas the conventional morphology-based classification provides a clue for tumor growth and prognosis, the new classification by genetic alterations offers a basis for targeted therapy. Objective: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the biological behavior of melanoma subtypes and compare the two classifications in the Korean population. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients found to have malignant melanoma in Severance Hospital from 2005 to 2012. Age, sex, location of the tumor, histologic subtype, tumor depth, ulceration, lymph node invasion, visceral organ metastasis, and overall survival were evaluated. Results: Of the 206 cases, the most common type was acral melanoma (n=94, 45.6%), followed by nonchronic sun damage-induced melanoma (n=43, 20.9%), and mucosal melanoma (n=40, 19.4%). Twenty-one patients (10.2%) had the chronic sun-damaged type, whereas eight patients (3.9%) had tumors of unknown primary origin. Lentigo maligna melanoma was newly classified as the chronic sun-damaged type, and acral lentiginous melanoma as the acral type. More than half of the superficial spreading melanomas were newly grouped as nonchronic sun-damaged melanomas, whereas nodular melanoma was rather evenly distributed. Conclusion: The distribution of melanomas was largely similar in both the morphology-based and sun exposure-based classifications, and in both classifications, mucosal melanoma had the worst 5-year survival owing to its tumor thickness and advanced stage at the time of diagnosis.

박원민(Won-Min Pak),김꽃봉우리(Koth-Bong-Woo-Ri Kim),김민지(Min-Ji Kim),박지혜(Ji-Hye Park),배난영(Nan-Young Bae),박선희(Sun-Hee Park),안동현(Dong-Hyun Ahn) 한국식품영양과학회 2016 한국식품영양과학회지 Vol.45 No.3

Histamine을 생성하는 Morganella morganii와 Photobacterium phosphoreum으로부터 crude histidine decarboxylase(HDC)를 추출하여 65~121°C로 열처리한 다음 균의 생육 및 효소 활성 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 그 결과 M. morganii와 P. phosphoreum은 모든 열처리 조건에서 비 가열 처리구와 비교 시 균의 생육이 저해됨을 확인하였다. M. morganii와 P. phosphoreum 유래 HDC의 효소 활성은 65°C에서 90% 이상의 효소 활성이 저해됨을 확인하였고, 온도가 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 활성이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. SDS-PAGE 결과에서는 65~100°C 범위에서 비가열 처리구와 비교 시 조효소액의 단백질 패턴의 변화가 크지 않았으나, 121°C에서 단백질 band의 강도가 크게 약해졌다. Native-PAGE에서는 65°C 처리 조건에서부터 단백질 패턴의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 따라서 가열처리(65~121°C)는 histamine 생성균인 M. morganii와 P. phosphoreum의 생육을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 HDC의 효소 활성도가 저해됨을 확인하여, 식품산업에서 적용되고 있는 열처리 조건에서 histamine 생성 억제에 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 생각한다. This study was performed to investigate the effects of various thermal treatments on the growth of Morganella morganii and Photobacterium phosphoreum and activity of crude histidine decarboxylase (HDC) obtained from M. morganii and P. phosphoreum. Crude HDC and the two strains were treated at 65°C/30 min, 80°C/10 min, 100°C/10 min, and 121°C/10 min. Activity of crude HDC decreased with increasing temperature. Viable cells counts of M. morganii and P. phosphoreum were not detected in any heated samples. SDS-PAGE patterns of heated HDC did not show significant differences up to 100°C. However, at 121°C, protein band intensity was weakened. In native-PAGE, there was a major change in the pattern of HDC at 65°C. These results suggest that thermal treatment can help to reduce histamine production by reducing HDC activity and growth of M. morganii and P. phosphoreum.

Background: As nonsurgical interventions for vitiligo are not always successful, various surgical modalities have been used in patients with refractory vitiligo. Of these, non-cultured epidermal suspension transplantation (NCES) was recently introduced to treat large recipient sites using cells from small donor tissue. Objective: We assessed the effectiveness and safety of NCES as a surgical treatment for patients with refractory vitiligo. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 20 cases in 17 patients (11 females; median age 25 years) who underwent NCES from July 2015 through March 2018. Suction blisters (20 mm in diameter) were collected from the patient’s inner thigh at a donor-to-recipient area ratio of 1:5. After the addition of 5 mL recombinant trypsin solution to the suction blisters, followed by incubation at 37°C for 60 min, epidermal cells were manually scraped off the blister surface, and epidermal cell suspension was obtained by centrifugation at 1,500 RPM for 5 min. The suspension was applied to the vitiligo regions after epidermal ablation of those regions. Phototherapy resumed 1 month later. Treatment success was defined as ≥75% repigmentation of the surgical site, and all adverse events were noted. Results: Overall, 85.0% of cases (17/20) exhibited treatment success. Adverse events included hyperpigmentation (20%) and surgical site infection (5%), but the treatment was tolerable in all cases. Conclusion: NCES is a reliable surgical option for patients with vitiligo refractory to nonsurgical treatment. Large areas of vitiligo can be treated by NCES, and use of this technique should be encouraged in Korea. (Korean J Dermatol 2018;56(7):426∼432)

본 증례는 침습성 아스페르길루스증의 과거력을 갖고 있는 백혈병환자에서 조혈모세포이식을 받은 후 치명적인 파급성 아스페르길루스증이 발병한 예이다. 환자는 항암요법 후 흉부 방사선 및 단층촬영에서 진균성 폐렴을 의심하여 항진균제를 투여하고 폐엽절제술을 시행하여 아스페르길루스에 의한 폐렴임을 확인하였다. Amphotericin B로 치료한 후 조혈모세포이식을 시행받은 뒤 치료에도 불구하고 파급성 아스페르길루스증으로 진행되어 사망하였다. 이 증례에서 보듯이 이전에 아스페르길루스증의 과거력이 있는 경우에 이식후 치명적인 결과를 유발할 수 있으므로, 고위험군을 선별하는 지침과 적절한 치료법에 대한 연구가 필요하겠다. Invasive aspergillosis has been increasing as the number of severe immunocompromised hosts rises. Particularly, in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients, incidence of invasive aspergillosis ranges from 4 to 10%. Even with appropriate treatment, the prognosis of invasive aspergillosis in allogeneic HSCT recipients remains poor, showing high mortality rate. Herein. we report a case where invasive aspergillosis in a patient with acute myelogeneous leukemia progressed to disseminated aspergillosis after allogeneic HSCT. A 31-year-old woman with acute myelogenous leukemia had invasive aspergillosis after third reinduction chemotherapy. After administering amphotericin B, the patient underwent the wedge resection of lung. and HLA-matched allogeneic HSCT was then conducted. On day 14 of transplantation, the patient died of disseminated aspergillosis, including possible cerebritis and endocarditis despite the amphotericin B therapy.

This study is the analysis for settlement and degree of consolidation with Compression Index(Cc) and Coefficient of Consolidation(Cv) that is changed due to Consolidation using the actual measurement through a back-analysis method based on the least squares method. We were try to decide the expected settlement and the time of filling removal by using the degree of consolidation which is the closest to the settlement behavior by actual measurement. At the ground improvement construction site proposed for Gwangyang container Port, we meet good results as follows; With regard to the settlement by actual measurement before the completion of loading filling, it is estimated that Barron's method(Sr/Sm=100.4%) is closer to the settlement by actual measurement than Hansbo method (Sr/Sm=78.8%), due to external influences such as immediate settlement or equipment load. After the completion of loading filling, while Asaoka's method (Sr/Sm=109.1%) and Barron's method(Sr/Sm=112.8%) were overvalued, Hyperbolic method(Sr/Sm=70.0%) was undervalued, and Hansbo method(97.6%) showed the most similar results to the settlement by actual measurement. The results of this study showed that, in applying the consolidation parameter obtained by means of back-analysis, Barron's method was the most appropriate before the completion of loading filling, while after it Hansbo's method was, with 99.4% of the settlement by actual measurement.

The present study was performed to examine the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on cold allodynia and its mechanisms related to the spinal adrenergic and serotonergic systems in a rat model of neuropathic pain. For the neuropathic surgery, the right superior caudal trunk was resected at the level between S1 and S2 spinal nerves innervating the tail. Two weeks after the nerve injury. EA simulation (2 or 100 Hz) was delivered to Zusanli (ST36) for 30 min. The behavioral signs of cold allodynia were evaluated by the tail immersion test{i.c., immersing the tail in cole water (4℃) and measuring the latency to an abrupt tail movement} before and after the stimulation. And then, we examined the effects of intrathecal injection of prazosin (α₁-adrenoceptor antagonist, 30 ㎍), yohimbine (α₂-adrenoceptor antagonist, 30 ㎍), NAN-190 (5HT_(1A) antagonist, 15 ㎍), ketanserin (5-HT_(2A) antagonist, 30 ㎍), and MDL-72222 (5-HT_(3) antagonist, 12 ㎍) on the action of EA simulation. Although both 2 Hz and 100 Hz EA significantly relieved the cold allodynia signs, 2 Hz EA induced more robust effects than 100 Hz EA. In addition, intrathecal injection of yohimbine, NAN-190, and MDL-72222, but not prazosin and ketanserin, significantly blocked the relieving effects of 2 Hz EA on cold allodynia. These results suggest that low-frequency (2 Hz) EA is more suitable for the treatment of cold allodynia than high-frequency (100 Hz) EA. and spinal α₂-adrenergic, 5-HT_(3), but not α₁-adrenergic and 5-HT_(2A), receptors play important roles in mediating the relieving effects of 2 Hz EA on cold allodynia in neuropathic rats.

SA-ASTM 주사기법에 의한 악취발생량 평가 및 무취공기 표준화에 관한 연구

김선태,배병욱,김학민,임경묵 대전대학교 산업기술연구소 1999 산업기술연구소 論文集 Vol.10 No.1

New methodology to evaluate the complex odor phenomenon was investigated, as called SA-ASTM(Sensor Aided ASTM ) syringe method. Specially we studied on the standardization of non-odorous air which is very important procedure in measuring odorous gas including our SA-ASTM syringe method. We examined the odor sensor value of standard hydrogen sulfide gas and non-odorous air made with ambient and cylinder air. The decision coefficient between H2S concentration and odor sensor value showed 0.992, and correlation formula between olfactory odor degree(Y) and odor sensor value(X) was Y =0.0039log(X) -0.4129. Also, it appeared that it was not appropriate to use ambient air itself because the odor level of ambient air varies with time, site, and situation. Instead we concluded that it was very effective for making the non-odorous air to use the cylinder air with traps which are composed of water, vacant tube, silicagel, charcoal vessels. The analysis results of odor samples by SA-ASTM syringe method using non-odorous air of this study explained the odor threshold and odor intensity well, which is the basic characteristics of odor and necessary data to use the odor dispersion model.
