Background: Reperfusion of ischemic myocardium has been postulated to result in a specific oxygen radical mediated tissue injury. Iron may liberate during ischemia and we hypothesized that administration of the iron chelator, deferoxamine during ischemia would result in improved recovery after postischemic reperfusion. Purpose: To test whether iron-catalyzed processes contribute to myocardial necrosis during ischemia and reperfusion, deferoxamine was administered to block iron catalyzed hydroxyl radical formation in rabbits. Methods: Eleven rabbits were divided into two groups : control group (n=5) and deferoxamine pretreatment group (n=6). The left circumflex coronay artery was ligated for 30 minutes and reperfused for 180 minutes. Area at risk (AR) was measured by non-stained area with methylene blue injection into left atrium after left circumflex coronary artery ligation. Infarct size was measured by weighing after triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Heart rate was measured using electrocardiographic recording and systemic blood pressure was monitored by pressure transducer connected to the catheter in the left ventricle. Results: 1. There was no significant difference of heart rate and blood pressure in deferoxamine pretreatment group compared with control group. 2. There was significant decrease of serum iron concentration after continuous infusion of deferoxamine compared with serum iron concentration before ligation of coronary artery(P<0.05). 3. There was no significant difference of area at risk between control and deferoxamine pretreatment group. 4. Area at necrosis to area at risk was significantly reduced in deferoxamine pretreatment group compared with control group(P<0.05). The results suggest that deferoxamine infusion prior to coronary artery occlusion has a significant benefit in reducing infarct size in this model.

This study was attempt to evaluated the effect of Bupleuri Radix extract and Scutellariae Radix extract as the hepatotropic agents. In addition, we measured the relative effectiveness of drug combined treatment in comparison to that of alone treatment. The results are as follows ; 1. Serum and liver AST, ALT activities and liver bilirubin content of B(a)P treated group were significantly increased in comparison to normal group. After administration of Bupleuri Radix extract these enzyme activity and bilirubin content were decreased. 2. Scutellariae Radix extract decreased the increase of serum and liver AST, ALT, liver LDH activities and bilirubin content in B(a)) treated group. 3. After combined treatment of Bupleuri Radix and Scutellariae Radix extract, the serum and liver AST, ALT activities and liver bilirubin content were significantly decreased in comparison to that of drug alone treatment. 4. Buplerui Radix extract prevented the leakage of serum and liver total cholesterol, serum phospholipid and triglyceride levels caused by B(a)P treatment. 5. Scutellariae Radix extract prevented the leakage of serum and liver triglyceride and liver total cholesterol levels caused by B(a)P treatment. 6. After combined treatment of Bupleuri Radix and Scutellariae Radix extract, the lipid accumulation of serum and liver was significantly decreased in comparison to that of drug alone treatment. 7. The hepatotropic effect of drug extracts against B(a)P induced hepatotoxicity was superior to combined treatment of Bupleuri and Scutellariae Radix extract and after-treatment in comparison to that of alone treatment and pretreatment.

윤수홍,오관현,하헌 대구효성카톨릭대학교 1997 연구논문집 Vol.56 No.2

In oriental medicine several valuabel prescriptions for hepatic diseases usually contained the Bupleuri Radix and Scutellariae Radix. The possible protective effect of these oriental herb on hepatotoxicity induced with benzo(a)pyrene(B(a)P) in vivo were examined. Water extracts of Bupleleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix and the mixture of both Radix were separately administered by orally to rats with hepatic demage induced by B(a)P(0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) and their effects in the serum were biochemically investigated. B(a)P treated group had siginificantly increased AST, ALT, ALP and LDH activities of Radix, Scutellariae Radix significantly diminished these increased enzyme activities. Increased total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol contents of serum by B(a)P injection were decreased by administration of water extract of Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix and mixture. Favorable results of this experiments indicate that herb mixture can be considered as a good therapeutic agent for the treatment of hepatic injury.

This study was conducted to fine the adaptatbility of Korean Native Cattle lacking in the resistance ability to Theileriosis being occured by ticks born parasites in Cheju Island. Data used in this study were collected from none-treated and treated Thpileria sergenti blood vaccine to Korean Native Cattle, Cheju Native Cattle and Cheju Native CattlexBrahman crossbreds during the grazing season in 1988. The parasitemia level of Theileria sergenti in artificial immunized Korean Native Cattle were fewer than none-treated Korean Cattle's, due to immunizing effects. the RBC and PCV reduction were prevented, and average daily gain's 0.25kg in artificial immunized Korean Native Cattle was higher than those of 0.20kg in none-treated. The mortality numbers were one in artificial immunized Korean Native Cattle and four in none-treated Korean Native Cattle. The resistance ability of Theileriosis of Korean Native Cattle was the weakest and Cheju Native Cattle×Brah-man crossbred was the strongest among the breeds.

폐렴구균 감염증에서 항생제 내성의 임상적 의미 : Asian Network for Surveillance of Resistant Pathogens(ANSORP) Study

목적 : 전 세계적으로 폐렴구균의 페니실린을 포함한 β-lactam과 마크로라이드 및 퀴놀론 계열의 항생제에 대한 내성이 급격히 증가하여 임상적으로 문제가 되고 있으나, 시험관내 내성이 실제 임상적 예후에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 아직까지 논란이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 폐렴구균의 항생제 내성률이 높은 아시아 지역에서 항생제 내성이 폐렴구균 감염증의 임상경과에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 시행되었다. 방법 : ANSORP에서 주관한 전향적 임상 연구로서 1999년 11월부터 2001년 8월까지 아시아 지역 11개국의 14개 기관에서 진단된 침습성 폐럼구균 감염증 환자를 대상으로 내성 균주 감염의 위험요인, 임상양상, 예후 등의 임상적 분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 총 646명 환자의 평균연령은 30.1세(6일-89세)였고, 이전 3개월 내에 항생제 사용력이 있는 환자는 159명(32.4%)이었다. 질환별로는 폐렴이 377예(58.4%)로 가장 많았고, 중이염 67예, 뇌수막염 66예(10.2%), 일차성 균혈증 65예(10.1%)였다. 총 646균주 중 347균주(53.7%)가 페니실린 비감수성(중등도 내성 23.1%, 고도 내성 23.1%)이었고, 페니실린에 대한 MIC_(90)은 0.03㎍/mL에서 4㎍/mL까지의 분포를 보였다. 페니실린 비감수성 균주에 의한 감염증과 차이가 없었다. 페니실린 내성 폐렴구균 폐렴에 의한 사망률은 페니실린 감수성 폐렴구균 폐렴에 의한 사망률과 차이가 없었다(p=0.846). Erythromycin에 대한 고도 내성을 보이는 균주의 비율이 매우 높았으나, 실제 임상상이나 치사율에는 영향을 미치지 않았다(p=0.092). 페니실린 비감수성 폐렴구균에 의한 뇌수막염의 치사률도 감수성 균주에 의한 사망률과 차이가 없었다(p=0.059). 결론 : 본 연구의 결과 페니실린 및 베타 락탐 제제에 대한 시험관 내성은 폐렴구균 폐렴이나 뇌수막염의 임상상이나 치사율에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 내성의 정도와 연관될 것으로 생각되므로, 향후 고도 내성 균주가 증가할 때 추가 검증을 요한다. 아울러 macrolide 및 퀴놀론계 항생제 내성의 임상적 의미에 대한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Background : Despite the widespread emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pneumococcal strains worldwide, clinical implications of in vitro resistance still remain an open question. To evaluate the clinical impact of pneumococcal resistance in Asian countries where the prevalence of pneumococcal resistance was reported to be highest in the world, ANSORP has performed a prospective, multinational surveillance study with cases with invasive pneumococcal diseases in Asian countries. Methods : In vitro susceptibility of pneumococcal isolates was determined by broth microdilution tests with 16 antimicrobial agents. All enrolled cases of pneumococcal infections were analyzed with regard to demographic data, clinical features, risk factors and mortality. Results : A total of 646 patients with pneumococcal infections were enrolled from 14 centers in 12 countries between the period from November 1999 to August 2001. Pneumonia (58.4%) was the most common clinical disease followed by bacteremia (33.4%), otitis media (10.4%), and meningitis (10.2%). Among 646 isolates, 347 (53.7%) were penicillin non-susceptible (intermediate 23.1%, resistant 30.7%). MIG_(90)s for penicillin ranged from 0.03 (India) to 4.0 ㎍/mL (Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Hong Kong). Overall mortality from pneumococcal diseases by penicillin non-susceptible strains was not different from that by susceptible strains. Pneumococcal pneumonia caused by penicillin- or erythromycin-resistant strains showed similar mortality, severity of illness, or complications to that by susceptible strains. Mortality from pneumococcal meningitis caused by penicillin non-susceptible strains was also similar to that by susceptible strains. Conclusion : Data suggest that current situation of in vitro resistance to penicillin or macrolides may not affect the mortality from pneumococal pneumonia or meningitis caused by antibiotic-resistant strains.

The ulnar nerve extends down the arm, across the elbow, and into the hand. It provides sensation to the little and ring fingers and activates many of the small muscles in the hand. The determination of peripheral nerve conduction velocity is an important part of ulnar nerve evaluation. The electrodiagnostic value as neurophysiologic investigative procedure has been known for many years but normal value of digital nerve was not reported in korea. The purpose of this investigation was to measure the digital nerve conduction velocity of ulnar nerve for obtain clinically useful reference value and compare difference in each fingers and then compare with the other countries. 71 normal Korean volunteers (age, 19-65 years; 142 hands) examined who has no history of peripheral neuropathy, diabetic mellitus, chronic renal failure, endocrinedisorders, anti-cancer medicine, anti-tubercle medicine, alcoholism, trauma, radiculopathy. Nicolet Viking Ⅱ(EMG machine) was use for detected conduction velocity and amplitude of digital nerve in ulnar nerve. Data analysis was performed using SPSS. Descriptive analysis was used for obtain mean and standard deviation and independent t-test was used to compare with ring and little finger. Conduction velocity of the right ring finger was 57.44m/sec and little finger was 55.32msec. The left ring finger was 55.55msec and little finger was 54.11msec. Amplitude of the right ring finger was 30.28µV and little finger was 48.36µV. The left ring finger was 30.67µV and little finger was 57.76µV. There were significantly difference between ring and little in amplitude (p<.05) but there were no statistically difference between conduction velocity of ring and little finger (p>.05). The amplitude of little finger are greater than ring finger. The present results revealed that electodiagnosis can easily perform in little finger for digital nerve of ulnar nerve study.
