본 연구는 치수조직, 치은, 치주인대로부터 배양된 조직을 SP (Substance P)로 4시간, SP, CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)로 8시간 자극 후 RNase Protection Assay를 시행하고, IL-8의 분비량을 측정해 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1. IL-8 mRNA는 모든세포에서 발현됐다. 2. IL-8 mRNA 발현은 SP (10^(-5)M)와 SP (10^(-8)M)로 4시간 자극 시 증가되지 않았다. 3. IL-8 mRNA 발현은 SP (10^(-4)M)와 CGRP (10^(-6)M)로 8시간 자극 시 증가되지 않았다. 4. TNF-α (2 ng/㎖) 자극 시, IL-8 mRNA 발현이 증가됐다. 5. 치은 세포를 CGRP (10^(-6)M)로 8시간 자극 시, IL-8 분비량이 증가했다 (p < 0.05). 6. 치주인대 세포를 SP (10^(-4)M)로 8시간 자극 시 IL-8 분비량이 증가했다 (p < 0.05). We investigated the secretion of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) from ginviva and periodontal ligament stimulated with Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP). Gingiva (GF), periodontal ligament (PDLF) and pulp (PF) tissues were collected from extracted instact 3rd molars. Cultured cells were stimulated with different concentrations of SP for 4 hrs, and stimulated with SP, CGRP and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) for 8 hrs. Then RNase Protection Assay was carried out. ELISA was performed using supernatants of stimulated cells for quantitative analysis of IL-8. Results were assessed using supernatants of stimulated cells for quantitative analysis of IL-8. Results were assessed using student t-test with significance of P < 0.05. According to this study, the results were as follows: 1. IL-8 mRNA was detected in all type of cells studied (PF, GF and PDLF). 2. IL-8 mRNA expression was not increased after stimulating 4 hrs with SP (10^(-5)M) and SP (10^(-8)M) compared with Mock stimulation in all type of cells studied. 3. IL-8 mRNA expression was not increased after stimulating 8 hrs with SP (10^(-4)M) and CGRP (10^(-6)M) compared with Mock stimulation in all type of cells studied. 4. TNF-α (2 ng/㎖) increased the expression of IL-8 mRNA in all kind of cells studied. 5. The secretion of IL-8 from GF was increased 8 hrs after the stimulation with CGRP (10^(-6)M) (p < 0.05). 6. The secretion of IL-8 from PDLF was increased 8 hrs after the stimulation with SP (10^(-4)M) (p < 0.05). Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP) increased Interleukin-8 (IL-8) which plays an important role in chemotaxis of neutrophil in Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide (CGRP) gingival tissue, whereas Substance P increased the secretion of IL-8 from periodontal ligament.

The purpose of this study was to investigate cardiovascular responses to a bout of aerobic exercise and acute smoking cessation in smoker. nine collegiate male smoker who have been smoking(duration of smoking: 7.5 ± 0.9yrs; number of cigarettes per day: 15.5 ± 1.5) participated in this study. All subjects performed PEI to stimulate Group IV metaboreceptor at immediately after smoking, 24hours after smoking cessation and smoking after a bout of aerobic exercise. they were measured SBP, DBP, HR, SV, CO, TVC using by finometer(FMS co, Netherland). As a result, compared to immediately after smoking, SBP, DBP, and MAP were significantly decreased 24-hours after smoking cessation at rest and PEI(p<0.05). In addition, smoking after a bout of aerobic exercise caused by post-exercise hypotension indicated that SBP was significantly decreased compared to immediately after smoking(p<0.05). also, the changes in DBP and MAP at rest and handgrip exercise were significantly smaller compared to immediately after smoking(p<0.05). Thus, the results showed that smoking cessation during 24-hours and a bout of aerobic exercise relieve excess blood pressure response and enhanced arterial baroreflex in collegiate male smoker. It is concluded that caused exercise pressor reflex by stimulated Group IV may be effective to improve excess blood pressure responses.

성도경 ( Do Kyung Sung ),최인규 ( In Kyu Choi ) 대한정치학회 2009 大韓政治學會報 Vol.16 No.3

오늘날 여성경제활동에 대한 사회 정책적 관심이 증가하면서, 여성의 노동권 보장을 위한 다양한 복지정책지원에 주목하기 시작하였다. 이 시점에서 여성인력개발센터는 그간 여성의 능력개발 및 여성복지서비스에 대한 시대적 변화에 적극 대처함으로써 여성의 경제활동과 참여 증대에 기여해 온 점은 부인할 수 없는 사실이다. 그러나 최근 센터별 운영적인 측면과 서비스에 대한 효율적인 측면에서 여러 가지 문제점이 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구는 DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis), FDH(Free Disposal Hull), 기법을 이용하여 각 여성인력개발센터의 효율성을 실증적으로 비교·분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석지표로는 투입변수에 프로그램 개설수, 직원 수, 정부지원보조금율, 산출변수에 수료자 수, 취업자 수, 상담실적을 사용하였다. 분석결과 CCR모형의 효율성평가에서는 강북, 광진, 구로, 동대문, 인천, 울산, 성남, 강릉, 천안 등 9곳이 효율적인 센터로 나타났다. BCC분석에서는 21개 센터가 효율적인 센터로 나타났다. 또한 슬랙(slacks)값이 20%이상이 되는 각 기관들의 투입변수와 산출변수의 변화를 통해 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있는 방향을 살펴보았는데, 여성복지서비스의 개선을 위한 여성인력개발센터의 효율적 운영을 위해서는 교육프로그램의 질적 내실화, 인력의 충분성과 전문성 확보, 지방자치단체의 지원금의 재조정이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. As the increase of politic concern over the economic activity of women, it began to attract the need of various welfare policies to secure the woman`s labor right. In this respect, Woman Resources Development Center has contributed to the increase of women`s economic activities and participation. But, it shows a lot problems in the respect of operations and services. Therefore, this study empirically analyzed the efficacy of countrywide Woman Resources Development Centers using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) and FDH(Free Disposal Hull) methods. The number of programs, the number of employees, and subsidy from government were used as input variables, and the number completed the program, the number of employed worker, and results of consultation were used as output variables. The evaluation of efficacy by CCR model showed nine centers, such as Kang-book, Kwang-jin, Koo-ro, Dong-daemoon, Incheon, Ulsan, Sung-nam, Kang- reung, and Chun-an were efficient. The evaluation of efficacy by BCC model showed 21 centers were efficient. This study proposed that it needs qualitative improvement of education programs, secure of sufficiency and professionalization of woman power, resettlement of subsidy from local governments to improve the operation of Woman Resources Development Center.

제왕 절개의 비율은 최근 까지 지난 20년동안 증가되어 왔으며 이러한 증가는 반복 제왕 절개의 증가와 관련된 것이다. 최근 제왕 절개후 질식 분만에 관한 연구에서는 반복 제왕절개시 올 수 있는 수술 후 합병증, 산모 및 태아의 이환율의 증가 등과 비교해 이 시도가 비교적 안전한 방법으로 등을 보고 하고있는 반면 또한 제왕 절개후 질식 분만시 올 수 있는 자궁 파열과 이로 인한 태아와 산모의 위험성에 관한 보고도 있다. 이에 본원에서는 제왕 절개후 질식 분만을 원해 내원한 산모를 대상으로 성공군과 실패군 사이에 여러 요인을 비교 분석하여 성공에 관여한 인자를 예측하고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 1997년 3월부터 1999년 3월까지 선행 제왕 절개 후 질식 분만을 위해 내원한 환자중 질식 분만 시도시 위험성이 적다고 판단되는 120명의 산모를 대상으로 했으며 성공군과 실패군 사이에 산모의 나이, 제태 연령, 질식 분만한 과거력의 유무, 선행 제왕 절개의 적응증, 초음파로 예측한 태아 몸무게, 신생아 몸무게, 입원시 자궁 경부 상태, Bishop score, CPD index(Cephalopelvic disproportion Index)를 비교 분석 하였다. 120명의 산모중 87명(72.5%)이 성공 하였으며 33명(27.5%)이 실패 하였고 자궁 파열이나 열개와 같은 합병증은 발견되지 않았다. 두 대조군 사이에 산모의 나이(P=0.012), Bishop score(P=0.002), CPD index(P=0.015)에서 의미있는 차이를 보였으며 기타 요인에서는 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론적으로 선행 제절 이후 질식 분만 시도 시에 금기가 아닌 경우 입원시 X선 골반 계측을 통한 CPD index와 Bishop score을 통해 성공 가능성에 대한 예측에 도움을 줄 수 있으며 앞으로 이 요인들과 함께 다른 요인들과의 연관성에 대한 연구를 통해 선행 제왕 절개후 질식 분만 시도시에 올 수 있는 위험성을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 이상과 같은 연구 결과로 또한 추후 성공의 예후 인자로 사용되어 질 수 있고, 앞으로 이 시도의 성공과 관련된 다른 인자와의 연관성을 통한 면밀한 검토가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Objectives: Vaginal birth or trial of labor after previous cesarean section has become one of the most remarkable changes in obstetric practice. The safety and efficacy of a trial of labor and vaginal birth after previous cesarean are well documented. The purpose of this report is to predict the likelihood of vaginal birth in patients undergoing a trial of labor after previous cesarean delivery using factors known at the time of hospital admission. Method: In this retrospective study, 120 women who attempted vaginal birth at Kyung-Hee University Hospital from March 1997 to March 1999. An attempt to identify possible prognostic factors for success of such a trial was made and we evaluated the variables of significant predictive value and the patients' characteristics in the success group and failure group of women who attempted VBAC. Result: 87 cases(72.5%) in 120 cases succeeded in VBAC and 33 cases(27.5%) failed. In this comparative groups in VBAC, there was significant difference in CPD index(cephalopelvic disproportion index) and Bishop score, but no significant difference in gestational age, the estimated fetal weight by sonography and newborn birth weight. Conclusion: In this study, Bishop score and CPD index and age may be useful and valid predictor of success in VBAC and this information could be particularly valuable. The CPD index may prove most important in determining if a vaginal birth should occur after a cesarean section because it can clearly identify some patients who need a repeat cesarean section.

연구목적은 동작관찰훈련이 뇌졸중 환자의 인지기능 향상에 영향을 미치는가를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법으로는 2018년 4월 23일부터 5월 18일까지 경인지역 병원에 입원 중인 재활환자 7명을 대상으로 MMSE-K와 LICA를 사용하여 평가를 진행하였고, 동작관찰프로그램으로는 상지 ROM 댄스, 풀 오버형 옷정리, 운동화 끈 묶기, 수건 개기, 양말 개기, 종이접기, 넥타이 매는 법 총 7가지 과제를 적용하였다. 통계프로그램으로는 SPSS version 20을 사용하였으며 기술통계, Wilcoxon signed ranks을 사용하여 값을 구하였다. 동작관찰훈련을 적용한 결과 MMSE-K 점수는 3.29±1.38의 변화량을 보여 p값 0.001로 유의한 값을 보였고, LICA 점수는 기억력에서 12.16±6.73으로 가장 유의한 값이 나왔다. 결론은 동작관찰훈련이 뇌졸중 환자의 인지기능 영역 중 기억력에서 가장 많은 영향을 미쳤으며, 다른 영역에서도 점수 향상은 있었으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 앞으로 동작관찰훈련이 많이 사용되어 추후에는 뇌손상 부위별로 어느 영역에서 효과가 있는지에 대한 후속 연구가 이루어지길 바란다. This study aims to identify whether the action-observation training impacts on the improvement of stroke patient’s cognitive functioning. When it comes to the research methods, Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) and Literacy Independent Cognitive Assessment (LICA) conducted to assess samples between 23 April and 18 May 2018. Samples are seven patients who are hospitalized in Kyung-In region. In the meantime, seven tasks such as the range of joint motion (ROM) dance, arrangement of pullover clothes, lacing-ups of a pair, folding up a facecloth and socks, the origami and tying a necktie implemented as the action-observation programme. In order to analyse collected data, descriptive statistics analysis, paired t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were carried out via SPSS version 20 (a statistics programme). The change in value from MMSE-K showed its statistical significant as 3.29 (±1.38, p<.001) as well as value from LICA in recollective powers was 12.16 (±6.73), therefore, the statistic is said to be statistically significant. In conclusion, action-observation training most influenced recollective powers amongst stroke patient’s cognitive functioning areas. Even though development of cognitive functioning discovered in other areas, its values were possibly statistically insignificant. Hence, future research ought to demonstrate which areas action-observation training is effective according to brain lesion site.

( Sang Yoon Kim ),( Jae Myung Park ),( Chul-hyun Lim ),( Hye Ah Lee ),( Ga-yeong Shin ),( Younghee Choe ),( Yu Kyung Cho ),( Myung-gyu Choi ) 대한소화기기능성질환·운동학회(구 대한소화관운동학회) 2021 Gut and Liver Vol.15 No.4

Background/Aims: Point mutations in the 23S ribosomal RNA gene have been associated with Helicobacter pylori clarithromycin resistance. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of these point mutations and to investigate the role of different point mutations in the success of eradication therapy. Methods: We retrospectively investigated a total of 464 consecutive patients who underwent an endoscopic examination and dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction for H. pylori between June 2014 and October 2019. For 289 patients with negative point mutations, standard triple therapy was used in 287 patients, and the bismuth-quadruple regimen was used in two patients. For 175 patients with positive point mutations (A2142G, A2143G, and both mutations), standard triple and bismuth-quadruple therapies were used in 37 patients and 138 patients, respectively. Results: The eradication rates of standard triple and bismuth-quadruple therapies showed no significant difference in mutation-negative patients or those with the A2142G point mutation. However, the eradication rate with bismuth-quadruple therapy was significantly higher than that with standard triple therapy in the group with the A2143G mutation or with the double mutation. The eradication rates for standard triple and bismuth-quadruple therapies, respectively, were 25.8% and 92.1% in the per-protocol group (p<0.001) and 24.2% and 85.2% in the intention-totreat analysis (p<0.001). Conclusions: The A2143G point mutation is the most prevalent cause of clarithromycin resistance. Bismuth-quadruple therapy is superior to standard triple therapy in patients with the A2143G or double point mutation. (Gut Liver 2021;15:528-536)

We employed human SK-MEL-28 cells as a model system to identify cellular proteins that accompany N-(4-methyl)phenyl-O-(4-methoxy)phenyl-thionocarbamate (MMTC)-induced apoptosis based on a proteomic approach. Cell viability tests revealed that SK-MEL-28 skin cancer cells underwent more cell death than normal HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner after treatment with MMTC. Two-dimensional electrophoresis in conjunction with matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry analysis or computer matching with a protein database further revealed that the MMTC-induced apoptosis is accompanied by increased levels of caspase-1, checkpoint suppressor-1, caspase-4, NF-kB inhibitor, AP-2, c-Jun-N-terminal kinase, melanoma inhibitor, granzyme K, G1/S specific cyclin D3, cystein rich protein, Ras-related protein Rab-37 or Ras-related protein Rab-13, and reduced levels of EMS (oncogene), ATP synthase, tyrosine-phosphatase, Cdc25c, 14-3-3 protein or specific structure of nuclear receptor. The migration suppressing effect of MMTC on SK-MEL-28 cell was tested. MMTC suppressed the metastasis of SK-MEL-8 cells. It was also identified that MMTC had little angiogenic effect because it did not suppress the proliferation of HUVEC cell line. These results suggest that MMTC is a novel chemotherapeutic and metastatic agents against the SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cell line.
