The development of reliable methods to diagnose acute kidney injury is essential to allow the adoption of early therapeutic interventions and evaluate their effectiveness. Based on the fact that kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) expression levels in kidneys are markedly upregulated early after a damage event, here we developed a noninvasive KIM- 1-based molecular imaging technique to detect kidney injury. First, we took advantage of a phage-display platform to select small peptides demonstrating a specific high binding affinity to KIM-1. The promising candidate was conjugated with fluorescent probes, and its imaging potential was validated in vitro and in vivo. This peptide, with the sequence CNRRRA, not only showed a high imaging potential in vitro, allowing a strong detection of KIM-1 expressing cells by microscopy and flow cytometry but also generated a strong kidney-specific signal in live-imaging in vivo experiments in the context of a drug-induced kidney-injury mouse model. Our data overall suggest that the CNRRRA peptide is a promising probe to use in the context of in vivo imaging for the detection of KIM-1 overexpression in damaged kidneys.

Agranulocytosis, one of the major side effects of antithyroid a gents, probably occurs in less than 0.25% of cases treated with antithyroid agents. It usually occurs within the first several weeks or months after the initiation of therapy, when drug dosage is higher. Most reported cases of agranulocytosis have occurred during the first 3 months of therapy. We describe here a rare case that did not experience the side effect for 6 years of antithyroid agent treatment but presented with agranulocytosis in one month after re-exposure. It suggests that the major side effect such as agranulocytosis can occur in patients who had undergone prior uneventful antithyroid drug therapy.

일본 '백화파'에 대한 한일 비교문학적 연구 : 이광수와 김동인을 중심으로 Mainly Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In

After this treatise grasped the point that a character of the Baekhwa school was idealism, egoism, illuminism, and art for art’s sake, it investigated what appearances that these thoughts had reflected on the Korean modern literature to make Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In two pivot objects of study. They, Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In met with works and thoughts of the Baekhwa school writers to go to Japan about the time when they played an important role in the Japanese literary world. But they who had quite different characters and thoughts accepted the Baekhwa school through a different logical connection with each other. When He, Lee Kwang-Soo had met with works, he formed an enlightenment consciousness of idealism, and Kim Dong-In egoism and art for art’s sake. The Baekhwa school is the representative writers in the Japanese idealism. They are an important writers from the viewpoint of on the comparative literature of Korea & Japan novel because the Baekhwa school had an effect on two writers who formed the basis of the Korean modern novel. We find out that the Baekhwa school had an enormous effect on the Korean literature if we will consider a relative importance Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In have come into possession of the history of Korean novel.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of common causes of cancer-related death in Korea where the majority of HCC patients were Hepaitc B virus(HBV)carriers and have cirrhosis. Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)is commonly applied to the treatment of multinodular HCC in Korea and careful selection of candidate is important for the risk of various side effects. Besides common side effects as fever, nausea, abdominal pain and elevation of liver enzyme, TACE may predispose to hepatic failure, ischemic cholecystitis, pulmonary embolism, cerebral embolism and pneumonitis. In previous studies, some cases of pulmonary and cerebral embolism cases were reported but lipiodol pneumonitis after TACE was rarely reported. A 65-year-old woman with a multinodular HCC associated with HBV infection, was treated with TACE. Seven days after the procedure, nonspecific respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea and dry cough developed. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomography showed diffuse ground glass opacities in whole lung fields, suggestive of lipiodol pneumonitis. After several days of supportive care with steroid administration, radiologic abnormalities and subjective symptoms were much improved, considered that the disease was compatible with lipiodol pneumonitis.

Kim, Seong-Hwan,Seo, Won-Deog,Kim, Ki-Hong,Yeo, Hyung-Tae,Choi, Gi-Hwan,Kim, Dae-Hyun The Korean Neurosurgical Society 2012 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.52 No.2

Objective : The purpose of this study was 1) to analyze clinically-executed cervical lateral mass screw fixation by the Kim's technique as suggested in the previous morphometric and cadaveric study and 2) to examine various complications and bicortical purchase that are important for b-one fusion. Methods : A retrospective study was done on the charts, operative records, radiographs, and clinical follow up of thirty-nine patients. One hundred and seventy-eight lateral mass screws were analyzed. The spinal nerve injury, violation of the facet joint, vertebral artery injury, and the bicortical purchases were examined at each lateral mass. Results : All thirty-nine patients received instrumentations with poly axial screws and rod systems, in which one hundred and seventy-eight screws in total. No vertebral artery injury or nerve root injury were observed. Sixteen facet joint violations were observed (9.0%). Bicortical purchases were achieved on one hundred and fifty-six (87.6%). Bone fusion was achieved in all patients. Conclusion : The advantages of the Kim's technique are that it is performed by using given anatomical structures and that the complication rate is as low as those of other known techniques. The Kim's technique can be performed easily and safely without fluoroscopic assistance for the treatment of many cervical diseases.

The current study evaluates the capacity of eugenol to regulate immediate allergic reaction by control of histamine release. Administrations of eugenol (1 M/kg. i.p.) at 60 min before and 5.10 min after the compound 48/80 treatment (8 mg/kg.i.p.) were shown the mortality rates as 0.44.4. and 77.8%. respectively. A 60 min before administered group revealed a singificant inhibition of serum his-tamine release compared with those of 5 and 10 min after the compound 48/80 injection. Eugenol (6-48mM) was also showed a dose-dependent activity on the compound 48/80-induced histamine release from the highly purified population of Alcian Blue-positive peritoneal mast cells. These results indicate that in vitro treatment with exogenous eugenol inhibited the active response of mast cell populations and modulated its characteristics.

소프트웨어 개발 방법론이 객체지향개발 방법론(OOD : Object Oriented Development)에서 점차 컴포넌트 기반 개발 방법론(CBD : Component Based Development)으로 변화되어 가는 추세이다. 경험이 많은 개발자에 의해 개발된 컴포넌트는 소프트웨어 재사용이 뛰어나고, 이미 많은 곳에서 사용 중이므로 안정성 및 신뢰성이 인정된다. 하지만 개발언어와 플랫폼의 특성에 따라 컴포넌트의 조합에 있어 어려움이 따른다. 이에 본 연구에서는 HTTP와 XML을 이용하여 개발언어와 플랫폼에 독립적으로 컴포넌트를 조합할 수 있는 방안에 대해 연구하고 기존의 컴포넌트에 HTTP와 XML을 이용한 컴포넌트 호출을 보인다.

빠르며 정확하고 안전한 치아이동을 목표로 삼고 있는 교정치료에서 최근 새로이 도입된 피질골 절제술과 견인 골형성술을 응용한 치아이동에 대하여 알아보았다. 특히 견치나 대구치의 후방이동은 기존의 치아 이동 양식으로는 조절이 어렵고, 장기적인 기간에 불가피한 치아이동이다. 피질골 절제술과 견인 골형성술을 동반하여 상당히 효과적인 원심이동을 기할 수 있었던 증례를 통하여 적용 술식, 견인 장치 등을 논하고 그효과를 파악하였다. 이런 술식을 통해 빠른 치아 이동과 이에 따른 전반적인 치료기간의 감소가 가능하였으며, 무리한 치아이동에서 발생할 수 있는 고정원 소실이나 치근흡수, 치주조직의 파괴 같은 부작용도 줄일 수 있었다. Tooth movement facilitated by corticotomy and distraction osteogenesis was discussed. In this study, a portion of cortical bone which can provide resistance to tooth movement in alveolar bone was removed. Active bone deposition was then possible in the tension side. Teeth moved at such a speedy rate as we could not imagine from conventional orthodontic treatment, which lead to the reduction of the total treatment period. Posterior movement of the canine or molar teeth was possible without any side effects such as anchorage loss, root resorption or periodontal breakdown.
