Kim,Ik-Hwan,Kim,Hag-Hyun,Hong,Eui-Yon,Yun,Jong-Sun,Yun,Tae,Hwang,Ju-Kwang,Lee,Cheol-Hee 한국자원식물학회 2003 Plant Resources Vol.6 No.3

Present studies were carried out to produce tetraploid plants by colchicine treatment using seeds, seedlings and shoot tips of Codonopsis lanceolata. Three tetraploid plants of C. lanceolata were produced from seeds which absorbed 0.1 % colchicine solution for 12 hours, and 0.5% colchicine solution for 1 and 6 hours from seedlings, respectively. But tetraploid was not produced from shoot tips treated by colchicine solution. Compared to diploid, tetraploid plants had larger stomata, but less number of stomata. Fresh weight of tetraploid plants was 1.4∼3.6 times heavier than diploid plants.

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a condition in which the ovarian functions of hormone production and oocyte development become impaired before the typical age for menopause. POF and early menopause are present in a broad spectrum of gonad dysgenesis, from a complete cessation of ovarian function to an intermittent follicle maturation failure. Actually POF has been identified as a genetic entity (especially chromosome X), but data on genetic factors of premature menopause are limited. Until now, several cases revealed that inactivation of X chromosomes has an effect on ages of premature menopause and females with balanced or unbalanced X-autosome translocations can have several reproductive problems. On the other hand, there have been a few data that was caused by autosome-autosome translocation can lead. Therefore we report a relevant case of POF with translocation between chromosomes 1 and 4. She had her first menstrual period at the age of 12, and after 7 years she stopped menstruation. Chromosomal analysis showed 46, XX, t (1;4) (p22.3;q31.3). While evaluating this rare case, we could review various causes (especially genetic factors) of POF. To remind clinicians about this disease, we report a case of POF caused by autosomeautosome translocation with a literature review. (J Menopausal Med 2015;21:112-114)

Breeding of Tetraploid in Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.)A. DC. by Colchicine treatment

Kim,Ik-Hwan,Kim,Hag-Hyun,Hong,Eui-Yon,Yun,Jong-Sun,Yun,Tae,Hwang,Ju-Kwang,Lee,Cheol-Hee 한국자원식물학회 2003 Plant Resources Vol.6 No.3

Present studies were carried out to produce tetraploid plants by colchicine treatment using seeds, seedlings and shoot tips of Platycodon grandiflorum in Campanulaceae. The most successful colchicine treatment for tetraploid production in P. grandiflorum was soaking treatment using 0.01 and 0.5% colchicine solution for 1 hour and 12 hours, respectively. Morphological characteristics of both diploid and tetraploid were similar, but tetraploid plants had more leaves. Compared to diploid, tetraploid had the larger stomata, but less number of stomata. Fresh weight of tetraploids was 20∼40% heavier than that of diploid.

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.

Korean Journal of Sport Biomechanics, Vol. 14, No. 3, pp. 1-15, 2004. The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinematic variables of the upper part of the body for 8 elderly men during walking. For this study, kinematic data were collected using a six-camera (240Hz) Qualisys ProReflex system. The room coordinate system was right-handed and fixed in space, with righted orthogonal segment coordinate systems defined for the head, trunk, and pelvis. Based on a rigid body model, reflective marker triads were attached on the 3 segments. Three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates for each marker were determined at the time of recording using a nonlinear transformation(NLT) technique with ProReflex software (Qualisys, Inc.). Coordinate data were low-pass filtered using a fourth-order Butterworth with cutoff frequency of 6Hz. Three-dimensional angles of the head, trunk, and pelvis segment were determined using a Cardan method. On the basis of each segment angle, angle-angle plot used to estimated the movement coordinations between segments. The conclusions were as follows; (1) During the support phase of walking, the elderly people generally kept their head the flexional and abductional posture. Particularly, the elderly displayed little internal/external rotation. (2) The elderly people showed extensional and external rotation postures in the trunk movement. Particularly, It showed the change from adduction into abduction at the heel contact event of the stance phase. (3) The elderly people showed almost same pelvis movement from the flexion into extension, from the abduction into adduction, and from internal rotation into external rotation at the mid stance and toe off of the stance phase.

김유진,김동욱,이석,이동건,박윤희,김희제,김태규,민우성,김춘추 대한조혈모세포이식학회 2003 대한조혈모세포이식학회지 Vol.8 No.2

연구배경: 비혈연간 조혈모세포이식은 HLA체계에 대한 이해의 증진과 새로운 검사법의 개발, 그리고 기증자 수의 증가에 힘입어 최근 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 방법: 가톨릭조혈모세포이식센터에서 1995년 10월부터 2001년 12월까지 비혈연간 이식을 받은 138명의 성인 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 하였다. 결과: 질환별로 만성골수성백혈병 66예, 급성림프구성백혈병 23예, 급성골수성백혈병 16예, 재생불량성빈혈 21예, 골수이형성증후군 9예, 비호지킨림프종 2예, 그리고 발작성야간혈색소뇨증이 1예였다. 일차 생차부전은 분석가능한 136예 중 4예(2.9%)에서 발생하였다. Ⅱ도 이상의 급성이식편대숙주병의 발생률은 48.1%였고, 만성이식편대숙주병은 49.5%였다. 재발 이외의 사망원인 중 가장 높은 빈도를 보인 것은 폐렴으로, 독성사망 64예 중 36예(52.3%)에서 관찰 되었다. 만성골수성백혈병의 경우(n=66), 무병생존율, 재발률, 비재발성 사망률이 각각 45.7%, 11.4%, 49.2%였다. 무병생존율은 표준위험군이 고위험군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(50.3% vs 32.0%, p=0.03). 급성림프구성백혈병의 경우(n=23), 무병생존율, 재발률, 비재발성 사망률이 각각 30.0%와 49.4%, 44.8%였던 반면, 급성골수성백혈병에서는(n=16) 28.6%, 39.4%, 52.9%였다. 이들 급성백혈병에서는 표준위험군에 비해 고위험군에서 재발률과 비재발성 사망이 모두 높게 관찰되었다. 중증재생불량성빈혈의 경우(n=21), 무병생존율과 비재발성 사망이 37.3%와 62.7%였다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과 비혈연간 이식은 HLA적합 형제가 없는 혈액질환 환자들에게 유용한 치료법의 하나임을 알 수 있었다. 낮은 병기에서의 조기 이식과 분자생물학적 방법을 사용한 HLA 적합도의 개선이 이식관련 사망을 최소화시켜 비혈연간 이식의 효과를 더욱 확대시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Background: Unrelated allogeneic stem cell transplantation (U-SCT) is recently on a increasing trend supported by better understanding of HLA system, development of new HLA typing, and increase of donor pool. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 138 adult patients who underwent U-SCT between October 1995 and December 2001 at Catholic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Center. Results: Diagnoses were chronic myeloid leukemia (CML, n=66), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, n=23), acute myeloid leukemia (AML, n=16), severe aplastic anemia (SAA, n=21), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, n=9), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL, n=2), and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH, n=1). Primary engraftment failure was observed in 4 (2.9%) of 136 evaluable patients. Acute GVHD (≥grade II) occurred in 48.1% and chronic GVHD occurred in 49.5%. The most common cause of death other than relapse was pneumonia, which occurred 36 (52.3%) of 64 toxic deaths. In CML, disease-free survival (DFS), relapse rate, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 45.7%, 11.4%, and 49.2%. DFS of the standard-risk group (SR) was significantly better than that of high- risk group (HR) (50.3% vs 32.0%, P=0.03). In ALL, DFS, relapse rate, and NRM was 30.0%, 49.4%, and 44.8%, whereas corresponding figures for AML were 28.6%, 39.4%, and 52.9%. NRM and relapse rate were higher in HR compared to SR in acute leukemia. In SAA, DFS and NRM was 37.3% and 62.7%. Conclusion: We concluded that U-SCT is a feasible therapeutic option for patients lacking a HLA-matched sibling donor. Transplantation at earlier phase of disease with more accurate HLA matching by molecular typing can minimize treatment-related toxicity and could extend the benefit of U-SCT.

김태우,고동희,김민기,유승원,류향우,한정희,정순희 大韓産業醫學會 2009 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.21 No.2

배경: 주물공장 근로자에서 발생한 석면폐증의 작업 관련성을 평가하고 그 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 증례: 30년간 주물공장에서 근무한 환자로 인후통, 기침, 노란 가래가 있어 검사한 결과 결핵이 의심되어 치료 하였으며, 치료 중 석면폐증으로 진단되었다. 작업 관련성 평가를 위해 실시한 폐 조직의 조직학적 검사에서 1 cm^(2)당 3개의 석면소체가 발견되었고, 투과전자현미경으로 분석한 석면 함유량은 23.26x10^(6) fibers/g이었다. 결론: 작업환경조사, 폐 조직의 석면 분석 등을 통해 작업 관련성이 높다고 판단하였다. Background: Foundry workers are known to be exposed to silica and have an increased risk of Silicosis. There are also reports that state these foundry workers were associated with asbestos-related change in the X-ray results of the lungs. This report discusses a case of localized asbestosis developed in a foundry worker who worked in 12 Korean foundries. Case report: A 49-year-o1d man who worked at molding and melting for 30 years, Presented with sore throat, cough and yellow sputum for 1 month. From physical and clinical examination, Pulmonary tuberculosis was highly suspicious; therefore, he was medicated for 6 months. After tuberculosis medication, the radiological finding was reactivation of tuberculosis, and an asbestos body was detected at a trans-bronchial lung biopsy. During an operation, operators found multiple palpable masses and bullae 10calized in the right upper lobe (RUL) and performed right upper lobectomy and right middle lobe wedge resection. Using hematoxylin-eosin stain and iron stain, we could detect asbestos bodies by light microscopy. We analyzed the asbestos fiber burden in dry lung tissue by transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (TEM-EDX). The fiber type was chrysotile and the fiber burden was 23.26 x 10^(6) fiber/g dry lung. Discussion: This case study of a foundry worker with localized asbestosis is uncommon in Korea. We found an occupational relationship between the foundry worker and localized asbestosis through various investigative techniques such as measurements taken at his working environment, clinical, radiological and pathological examination of the foundry worker and mineralogical examination of the asbestos fiber.

The development of in vitro assays has been recommended to screening and test-ing the potential endocrine disruptors (EDs). These assay systems focus only on identifying thethe thyroid hormone (TH) disruptors. The aim of this study was to evaluate a test system to detectTH disruptors using rat pituitary tumor GH3 cells. The test system is based on the TH-dependentincrease in growth rate. As expected, L-3,5,3-triiodothyronine (T3) markedly induced a morphologicalchange in GH 3 cells from flattened fibroblastic types to rounded or spindle-shaped types. T3 stimu-lated GH3 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner with the maximum growth-stimulating effect9 M. In addition, T3 increased the release of growth hor-mone and prolactin into the medium of the GH3 cells culture. Using this assay system, the TH-dis-rupting activities of bisphenol A (BPA) and its related compounds were examined. BPA,dimethylbisphenol A (DMBPA), and TCI-EP significantly enhanced the growth of GH3 cells in therange of 1 × 10-5M to 1 × 10-6M concentrations. In conclusion, this in vitro assay system might bestandardization before it can be used as a broad-based screening tool.

Tae‑Sik Kong,Hee‑Dong Kim,Hung‑Sok Park,Soo‑Hoh Lee,Soon‑Yong Kim,Pil‑Bum Joung,Jin‑Yeub Park 대한전기학회 2020 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.15 No.3

Voltage transformers (VTs) must be highly reliable as they are essential components of the electric power industry. VT failures can cause a signifcant impact for important facilities such as nuclear power plants. In fact, VTs which passed the international standard, were damaged and sometimes resulted in the shutdown of the nuclear power plants. In order to improve the reliability, VTs with various iron core was studied. The electromagnetic feld simulation, a saturation characteristics test, and an overvoltage breakdown test were conducted. The result shows that the magnetic fux density signifcantly afects the reliability of VTs. To increase the reliability of VTs, it is required to reduce the magnetic fux density by increasing the knee-point and voltage factor. Owing to limited installation space, increasing the size of the iron core is difcult. Instead, VT by decreasing the thickness of the conductor and increasing the number of turns, it was possible to reduce the magnetic fux density without the size change. Therefore, improved VTs were obtained by decreasing the thickness of the conductor and increasing the number of turns, and the improved reliability was verifed through a comparison test with existing VTs. The fabricated VTs shows a signifcantly higher saturation voltage and breakdown time than existing VTs. Thus, by proposed VTs can contribute the stable operation of the nuclear power plant and improve the manufacturer’s quality.
