Most patients with aplastic anemia who do not respond to immunosuppressive treatment or are not candidates for bone marrow transplantation die of infection or bleeding. The neutropenia in acute leukemia, aplastic anemia, or occurring subsequently to chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation increases susceptibility to infection. In general, the number of infectious episodes correlate with the degree and duration of neutropenia. Global immunosuppression produced by conditioning for bone marrow transplantation or graft-versus-host disease, is associated with unusual bacterial and fungal pathogens, or serious viral and protozoan infections. In addition, repeated treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics is associated with the emergence of resistant organisms and fungal diseases because of the altered microbial microenvironment of the host. The incidence of invasive fungal infection caused by Saccharomycetes eerevisiae in immunosuppressed patients is very rare, compared with that of infection by candida or aspcrgillus species. Cases of Saccharomycetes cerevisiae fungemia occurring in the course of treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics are reported in patients with extensive burn or with prosthetic valve endocarditis. We experienced a case of urinary tract infection by Saccharomycetes cerevisiae in a 27-year old female patient with severe aplastic anemia. We report the case with a review of relevant literatures.

Background : Cord blood(CB), which has no HLA restriction, is an alternative to bone marrow for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The use of cord blood, however, is limited by the number of progenitor/stem cells necessary to reconstitute the older child or adult. Therefore, ex vivo expansion of CB could have tremendous impact on diverse clinical settings. We studied the ex vivo expansion of isolated population of CD34_(+) cells from cryopreserved CB cells. Methods : CD34 cells were isolated from cryopreserved CB mononuclear cells. Purified cells were cultured with various combinations of hematopoietic growth factors including erythropoietin(EPO), stem cell factor(SCF), granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF), gra-nulocyte, macrophage-colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), 1L-3, and IL-6. After 7, 10 or 14 days of culture, the fold increases of colony-forming unit- granu-locyte, macrophage(CFU-GM), burst-forming unit-erythroid(BFU-E), colony-forming unit-mix (CFU-Mix), and high proliferative potential colony-forming cell(HPP-CFC) were evaluated. Results : Ten-day culture with the combination of EPO, SCF, G-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-3 resulted in a median of 60-fold increase of CFU-GM, which was greater than those with the combinations of less than 5 growth factors. The addition of IL-6 or GM-CSF to this combination did not enhance CFU-GM expansion. Ten-day culture was significantly superior to 7-day culture for CFU-GM expansion. Prolongation of culture to 14 days, however, revealed decreased expansion of CFU-GM compared to 10 days. BFU-E and CFU-Mix were expanded to 2~5 folds in 7-day culture with the combination of EPO, SCF, and G-CSF. Further expansion was not achieved in 10-day culture and colonies disappeared in 14-day culture. HPP-CFC was expanded to a median of 7.5 folds in 7-day culture with the combination of EPO, SCF, G-CSF, IL-1β, IL-3, and IL-6. Neither 10-day or 14 day-culture enhanced expansion of HPP-CFU. Conclusion : Cryopreserved cord blood cells maintain ex vivo expansion potential. In our system, 10-day culture with the combination consisting of EPO, SCF, G-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-3 seems to be adequate for hematopoietic progenitor/stem cell expansion from cryopreserved cord blood cells.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been pandemic and remains one of the most common STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of Penicillinase Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG), we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by menas of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. In 1998, 93 strians of N. genorrhoeae were isolated, among which 60(64.5%) were PPNG. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul, which had been decreased to 39% in 1996 after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, is increased to 64.5% in 1998.

Bupivacaine과 ropivacaine이 Xenopus oocyte에 발현된 HERG 전류에 미치는 영향

김국성,이규승,김효신,손숙진,이상도,김광진,전병화,김윤희,박진봉 충남대학교 의과대학 의학연구소 2003 충남의대잡지 Vol.30 No.1

Bupivacaine is an amide-type local anesthetic widely used for regional anesthesia. Ropivacaine is developed as a less cardiotoxic alternatives to bupivacaine. In the present study, we have analyzed the effects of bupivacaine and ropivacaine on HERG currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Bupivacaine and ropivacaine(3∼1,000μM) blocked HERG currents in a concentration dependent manner. EC_(50) was 26.1±3.1μM(n_(R) 0.65±0.04) and 43.5±7.9μM(n_(H) 0.99±0.13) in bupivacaine and ropivacaine, respectively. Bupivacaine and ropivacaine did not affect the activation and deactivation kinetics of HERG channels. However, the drugs decreased the slope conductance measured from fully activated current-voltage relationship curves. These results suggest that bupivacaine and ropivacaine have a similarinhibitory effect on HERG channels, which could be a possible cellular mechanism of LQT or ventricular arrythmia by the drugs.

저자들은 새로 개발된 alyllamine계 항진균제인 터비나핀의 발톱의 조갑백서에서 치료 효과, 내약성 및 부작용 등을 평가하기 위해 triazole계의 이트라코나졸과 이중 맹검으로 비교 조사하였다. 치료방법은 터비나핀은 250㎎/days로 12주간, 이트라코나졸은 100㎎/day로 124주간 복용하고 양군 모두 치료 시작 후 36주까지 추적 관찰하였다. 조사방법은 조갑진균증 환자에 대해 치료에 대해 설명후 동의서를 받고 장기간 치료가 부적합한 경우를 제외한 149명(터비나핀군 74명, 이트라코나졸군 75명)이 치료를 받았으며 이중 25명이 탈락하고 13명이 부작용등으로 치료를 중지하여 111명(터비나핀군 51명, 이트라코나볼군 60명)이 치료를 완료하였다. 1. 임상적인 소견은 점진적으로 호전되었으며, 치료 시작후 36주에는 병변조갑의 감소 비율로 볼때 터비나핀군은 51명중 완전치료가 24(47.0%), 76%이상 호전이 18명(35.3%), 51%~75% 호전이 6명(11.8%), 26~50% 호전이 2명 (3.9%), 25% 이하의 호전을 보인 예는 1명(2.0%)였다. 이트라코나졸군은 60명중 완전치료가 27(45.0%), 76% 이상 호전이 14명(23.3%), 51%~75%호전이 9명(15.0%), 26~50% 호전이 2명(3.9%), 25% 이하의 호전을 보인 예는 1명(2.0%)였다. 이트라코나졸군은 60명중 완전치료가 27(45.0%), 76% 이상 호전이 14명(23.3%), 51%~75%호전이 9명(15.0%), 26~50% 호전이 7명 (11.7%), 25% 이하의 호전을 보인예는 3(5%)였다. 2. KOH도말 검사에서 음성 소견을 보인 비율은 터비나핀은 24주 후 50예(98.0%)였으며, 36주후에는 모두 음성을 나타내었고, 이트라코나졸은 치료 24주 후 51예(85.0%)였고, 36주후에는 59예(98.3%)에서 음성을 나타내었다. 진균배양 검사에서는 치료 12주 후에 터비나핀군은 51예중 44예에서 (86.3%), 이트라코나졸군은 60예중 52예에서 각각 음성이었으며(86.7%), 치료 36주 후에는 양군 모두에서 음성이었다. 3. 내약성은 양군 모두 시간이 지나면서 증가하였으며, 터비나핀은 moderate이상이 98~·00%였고, 이트라코나졸은 moderate이상이 96.7~100%였다. 4. 부작용은 위장관 증상이 가장 많았고 터비나핀은 23명, 이트라코나졸은 37명이었고, 2명, 3명에서 각각 일시적인 간효소치의 상승이 있었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 조갑진균증의 치료에 터비나핀 1일 250㎎씩 12주간의 경구투여는 치료율, 안정성 및 부작용에서, 추천할 만한 치료법이라 생각된다. In this randomized double-blind trial on multicenter study, the efficacy of the new antifungal agent, terbinafine(Lamlsil) was compared with the triazole antifungal agent, itraconazole, in the treatment of patients with onychomychosis. One hundred and forty nine patients(74 terbinafine, 75 itraconazole) with onychomlychosis were enrolled. Twenty five patients were lost to follow up and 13 reported adverse reaction with premature discontinuation of therapy. And 111 patients were eligible for follow-up until 36 weeks after starting the treatment. Fifty one patients received Lamisil(terbinafine) 250mg daily for twelve weeks (terbinafine group) and 50 received itraconazole 100mg daily for 24 weeks (itraconazole group). They were checked clinical symptoms(onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis, paronychyal inflammation, color change, brittleness, ridging, normal length of nails) and mycological improvement with KOH wet mount and culture during the study. Clinical improvements were slow but progressive. In terbinafine group of 5t patients, 24 patients(47.0%) were completely cleared and 18 patients(35.3%) were improved more than 76%, and 6 patients(11.8%) were improved in 53-75%. In itraconazole group of 60 patients, 27 patients(45.0% ) were completely cleared and 14 patients(23-3%) were improved more than 76%, and 9 patients(150%) were improved in 51-75% . In mycologic study, cure rate of the terbinafine group showed all negative at 36 week after the treatment while ittraconazole group showed all negative in culture but negative KOH in 98.3%. Adverse reactions and tolerability of both the drugs were good and net different significantly. All these findings suggest that the efficacy of Lamisil(terbinafine) 250mg daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of onychomycosis was similar to that of itraconazole 100mg daily for 24 weeks.

Azathioprine에 반응을 보인 류마티양 관절염에 의한 경막염(Pachymeningitis)1예

Rheumatoid arthritis frequently involves the cervical spine and may lead to neurologic impairement. However, direct involvement of CNS structures by inflammatory cells has been reported infrequently. The prevalence of this complication of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown. Inflammatory CNS involvement in rheumatoid arthritis reportedly occurs in the setting of longstanding, active, erosive articular disease and is accompanied by extracranial and extraspinal nodules and vasculitis. This is diagnosed by radiologic finding of CNS nodules or meningeal thickening and by biopsy or autopsy. Treatment with corticosteroid, cytotoxic agent or surgical decompression is helpful. But the majority of patients die within several months of onset of neurologic symptom. Recently, we experienced a case of pachymeningitis caused by rheumatoid arthritis, which resolved repeatedly with azathioprine treatment.

Background: It is suggested that clinical practice in the areas of bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy might rely on the ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. However, the condition for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells is not well established. The authors pursued a series of experiments to define the proper conditions for the expansion of hematopoietic cells in the short-term liquid suspension culture of mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells. Methods: 1.0ml cultures were initiated with 9×10^3 PB CD34+ cells, which were isolated from PB mononuclear cells (MNCs) by high-gradient cell sorting, in 12 well plates with the various combinations of hematopoietic growth factors(HGF). The following recombinant human HGFs were used: stem cell factor(SCF) 100ng/ml, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) 100ng/ml, GM-CSF(granulocyte, macrophage colony-stimulating factor) 100ng/ml, interleukin-1 beta(IL-1B) 1ng/ml, interleukin-3(IL-3) 20ng/ml, interleukin-6 (IL-6) 100ng/ml. At the end of culture, colony-forming cells were evaluated by semisolid clonogenic assay. Results: 1) Using the high-gradient magnetic sorting system, CD34^+ cells were isolated with a yield of 40 3% 2) In 7 day culture of PB CD34^+ cells(9×10^3 cells), nucleated cells expanded mean 10×10^3(range, 9 to 20×10^3) with the addition of SCF alone, 35×10^3(range, 10 to 60×10^3) with SCF plus G-CSF plus GM-CSF, and 130×10^3(range, 40 to 300×10^3) with the combination of SCF, G-CSF, IL-1, IL-3, IL-6, GM-CSF. In 14 day culture, nucleated cells expanded 10×10^3 to 1,860×10^3 with combination of human hematopoietic growth factors. 3) In 10 day culture without medium change of PB CD34^+ cells, CFU-GM numbers expanded 16. 5 fold(range, 7 to 59 fold) with the addition of SCF plus G-CSF plus Il-1 plus IL-3, 31.3 fold(range, 20.5 to 101.1 fold) with the combination of SCF, G-CSF, IL-1, IL-3, GM-CSF. In 14 day culture with or without medium change of PB CD34^+ cells was inferior to 10 day culture for CFU-GM expansion. 4) There was no significant difference for CFU-GM expansion between five growth factors(SCF,G-CSF,IL-1,IL-3,GM-CSF) and six growth factors(five growth factors plus IL-6). Conclusion: The authors could confirm that short-term suspension culture of peripheral blood CD34+ cells could expand hematopoietic progenitor cells. Ten-day culture with medium change of CD34+ cells with the addition of five growth factors, i.e. SCF, G-CSF, IL-1B, IL-3, and GM-CSF, might be the most efficient in this system.

개에서 관절이완과 피부과신장을 특징으로 하는 Ehlers-Danlos 양 증례

이성호,안정선,김인순,곽명순,이종완,박영석,박병권,김인봉,김상기,권건오,조성진 충남대학교 형질전환복제돼지연구센터 2007 논문집 Vol. No.10

Ehler' s-Danlos syndrome or cutaneous asthenia (also known as rubber puppy disease) is an uncommon, inherited connective tissue disorder characterized by loose, hyperextensible, fragile skin. The defect has been recognized in both dogs and cats as well as in humans, mink, cows, sheep and horses. The underlying defect is in the synthesis and/ or maturation of type I collagen and as a result of lack of vascular support. Affected animals often experience subcutaneous hematomas that have long bleeding times. A 4-year-old Yorkshire terri or had a hip dislocation, and another had bilateral medial patellar luxation (grade II), subcutaneous hematomas produced by minimal trauma, and generalized periodontitis. Dogs were diagnosed with symptoms described for Ehler' s-Danlos syndrome by the clinical and histological findings in the skin. And then skin samples were examined clinically by calculating the skin extensibility index. Skin biopsies obtained from the dorsum were examined by light microscopy. Histologically, there was a diffuse moderate in the dermis layer and a loose moderate in the hypodermis layer.

Spinal epidural abscess is an uncommon but readily diagnosable and treatable potential cause of paralysis and death. The incidence of spinal epidural abscess is approximately one to two cases per 10,000 hospital admissions in the United States. The symptoms of spinal epidural abscess are varied but include lower back pain, fever, local tenderness and neurological deficit, especially in such high risk groups as patients with diabetes, intravenous drug abuse, chronic renal failure, alcoholism, liver disease and immunocompromization. Infections of the epidural space originate from contiguous spread or via hematogenous routes from a distant source. Cutaneous sites of infection are the most common remote sources, especially in intravenous drug users. S. aureus accounts for most spinal epidural abscess infections, followed by streptococci and gram-negative anaerobes. We here report a case of spinal epidural abscess in renal abscess patient complaining of fever and back pain. A 71-year old female patient was admitted to epigastric pain and oliguria. She had been diagnosed as acute renal failure and treated with hydration. After third hospital days, she shows a persistent fever and drowsy mentality. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated renal abscess. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics, third cephalosporin. Blood cultures and urinary culture revealed Escherichia, coli. After fourteenth hospital days, she developed back pain, muscle weakness and decreased sensation of lower extremities. Spine MRI demonstrated spinal epidural abscess with spinal cord compression. Surgical drainage with laminectomy was performed. After treatment of intravenous antibiotics and surgical drainage, she discharged with improved back pain and neurological symptom.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nutritional support with enteral liquid supplement in cancer patients receving chemotherapy for possible benefit in nutritional, immunologic and golbal function of patients. Patients and Methods : From October 1995 to February 1997, 30 advanced cancer patients receving chemotherapy were divided two roups. The Nycare group, in addition to normal diet, Nucare^R enteral supplement was given for 1week right after chemotherapy for the duration of 2 chemotherapy cycles. Control group received only normal diet without parenteral fluid supplement for 2 chemotherapy cycles. Results : Median ages were 53 end 56 years for Nucare group and Contrl group respectively. Performance scores was less than 2 by ECOG scale. All patients were stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ. The physical parameters, such as weight, arm muscle circumference(AMC) and triceps skin fold(TSF) were decreased in both groups after 2 cycles of anticancer therapy. but it was less severe in Nucare group(p<0.05). Serum transferrin was maintained in mild deficit state in Nucare group, whereas it aggravated form mild to moderate deficit in Control group(p<0.05). Serum albumin level increased in Nucare group without statistical significance. but it decreased from normal to mild deficit in Control group. Serum total protein did not change significantly in Nucare group. but in Control group, serum total protein was decreased from 7.24±0.9 to 6.52±0.5(P<0.05). Total lymphocyte count did not change significantly in both groups. Conclusion : This study shows that the nutritional support with Nucare^R was effective in the prevention of nutritional deficit status in patients receving a nticancer chemotherapy.
