YANG, Yong Sik,SHIN, Chang Hwan,CHUN, Tae Hyun,SONG, Kun Woo Atomic Energy Society of Japan 2009 Journal of nuclear science and technology Vol.46 No.8

<P>The heat flux and fuel temperature of an annular fuel rod was analyzed using a newly developed program, DUO_THERM. The dual-cooled annular fuel rod has both inner and outer coolant channels. The heat fluxes to inner and outer claddings can change during irradiation because of the variation in the gap conductances of the inner and outer sides. The heat flux is a very important design factor affecting fuel integrity and safety. However, in an annular fuel design, the prediction of heat flux is very complicated because it is closely connected with size changes of two gaps, which are different from each other during irradiation. A burnup increase and power change can cause pellet and cladding radial deformation and eventually change the gap width. Because an annular fuel has two gaps at both sides and their heat resistances are very large, an imbalance of the gap width can lead to heat flux asymmetry. Therefore, a pellet and cladding dimensional change including densification, swelling, creep, and thermal expansion must be considered in the calculation of heat flux and temperature. By using the DUO_THERM program, the changes in heat flux and temperature during an operation were evaluated with respect to a reference design of an annular fuel. The results of the evaluation showed that the heat flux of an annular fuel was greatly affected by the inner and outer gap conductance changes. The heat flux of the inner cladding was maximum at zero burnup, but that of the outer cladding was maximum at the burnup of the outer gap closing. In addition, the maximum fuel temperature location was changed by gap conductance asymmetry.</P>

Background: Nail can be affected by trauma, infection, and systematic disorders. In particular, the toe nails are exposed to the repeated and cumulative minor traumas, which usually result in thickened, splitted, and discolorated nails. Considering these, it can be inferred that the long second toe can be related to various nail and skin changes by repeated minor traumas such as friction in shoes, but the study or report on this topic hasn’t been done yet. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to introduce various nail and skin changes on long second toe. Methods: We analyzed the kinds of nail/skin changes of 50 patients with long second toe, enrolled at Pusan National University Hospitals (Busan and Yangsan) from 2013 to 2018. Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence of left and right toe and toenail, and 7 (14%) patients presented bilateral distribution. The most common nail change on long second toe was melanonychia (23, 46%), followed by subungual hematoma (15, 30%), onycholysis (2, 4%), subungual hyperkeratosis (2, 4%), onychomadesis (1, 2%), and retronychia (1, 2%). The most common skin change was corn (9, 18%), followed by paronychia (2, 4%). Twenty (20/50, 40%) patients also had other toe or toenail changes. Among them, the most common site was big toe/nail (13, 62%), and the most common change was subungual hematoma (8, 42%). Conclusion: Through this study, the dermatologists can recognize and diagnose the nail and skin changes of long second toe.

양우창(Woo Chang Yang) 한국디자인문화학회 2015 한국디자인문화학회지 Vol.21 No.2

세계인구가 증가함에 따라 식량이 더 필요한 상황에서 산업화와 사회간접시설 확충 등으로 인해 농경지의 면적이 점점 줄어들어 생산량을 증대할 수 있는 다른 방안이 필요해지고 있다. 과밀한 도시에서 토지의 고도 이용을 통한 수직농장이 경제적이고 효율적인 방법으로 조명되고 있다. 농촌의 농장과는 달리 도심의 수직농장은 농작물의 생산의 기능 뿐만 아니라 도심의 다양한 영역과 관계를 맺고 있으며 복잡화되어있다. 또한, 도시의 환경복원에 대한 요구가 증가함에 따라 도심 내 녹지공간의 절대적인 확충과 각박한 도시생활에 지친 도시인들의 건전한 여가활동 및 커뮤니티의 장으로서 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 위의 내용을 배경으로 인구증가와 이상기후 등의 영향을 받지 않고 안정적으로 작물을 생산할 수 있는 수직농장을 제안한다. 수직농장에서는 환경적인 요인들을 인공 적으로 제어하여 작물을 재배하는데, 그 요인들 중 인공 조명인 LED를 적용한 방법을 주제로 한다. 즉, 본 연구는 도심형 식물농장 중 인삼수직농장을 대상으로 LED적용안을 개발 및 제안한다. 그 결과, LED를 적용한 식물농장은 작물에 따라서 적용파장의 수치와 파장범위가 다르게 적용되어야 한다는 것을 알수 있었다. 인삼작물 재배에서는 적색파장과 청색파장의 7:3비율로서 적색(660nm) : 청색(450nm)의 LED를 사용하였다. 조명의 인공적인 환경과 함께 양액, 이산화탄소, 온습도 등의 자동 감시 및 제어, 분무경 양액 공급의 재배방식을 사용하였으며 이를 토대로 1년 생묘삼인 천풍을 재배하였다. 본 연구를 통해 차세대 에너지 해결을 위한 종자개량 및 육종, 신기능 물질생산을 위한 실험, 재배적 환경제어 용 식물공장 시설, 도심의 생활환경 개선을 위한 밀집도 심공간의 미적 공간 및 심적 안정 도시설계 디자인 등의 시각에서 접근하는 경향도 나타나고 있으며 이를 위한 기초자료로서 활용되길 기대한다. As the world’s population increases, more food is necessary; however, due to industrialization and the expansion of social infrastructure, the areas of farmland gradually decrease, so another measure is needed in order to promote outputs. Vertical farming is in the limelight as an economical and efficient way, which is building a farm through a high-intensity use of the land in an overcrowded city. Unlike the farms in farming villages, the vertical urban farm not only has a function of producing crops, but also has a relationship with various areas of the city, and the relationship has been complicated. In addition, with an increasing demand for the restoration of the environment of the city, it is rapidly spreading as the absolute expansion of green space in the city and a place for sound leisure and community activities of urbanites who are tired of their city life. On the above background, this study proposes a vertical farm where people can produce crops stably not affected by population growth and climate change. In the vertical farm, crops are grown by artificially controlling the environmental factors, and of those factors, this study deals with the subject of the development of a plan for the application of artificial lighting of LED. With an urban plant farm as the subject of study, this study develops and proposes a plan for the application of LED to a vertical ginseng farm. Hopefully, this study will serve as a guideline for the use of LED in the cultivation of crops through the vertical farm.

Background: Lupus erythematosus tumidus (LET) is a rare subset of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and LET is clinically characterized by erythematous, succulent, urticarial plaques on the sun-exposed areas and LET is histopathologically characterized by the presence of perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrates with interstitial mucin deposition. Objective: We investigated the clinical and histopathological features of LET in Korean patients. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 18 patients who were diagnosed with LET between 1993 and 2010. The clinical characteristics, histopathological and laboratory findings, association with other subsets of lupus and the course of disease were analyzed. Results: LET occurred predominantly in females, with the gender ratio being 1:8. The mean age at diagnosis was 31.3 years. Two of 18 patients (11.1%) were previously diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or they had discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) simultaneously. The most common clinical features were erythematous patches, nodules or plaques and the most common site was the face. Eight of eighteen patients (44.4%) had photosensitivity and this value was lower than that of the previous reports. The antinuclear antibody (ANA) was negative or weakly positive in 13/15 (86.7%) cases. The main histopathological characteristics were perivascular and/or periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrates, and interstitial mucin deposition. Epidermal changes were absent or there were minimal changes. The treatments included antimalarial drugs, dapsone and topical and systemic corticosteroid. The patients showed a good response to the treatments without scarring. Conclusion: A clinicopathological review of 18 LET cases revealed results that were similar to those of the previous reports, although there were some differences in the gender ratio and frequency of photosensitivity. Further studies are needed to elucidate the cause of such differences. (Korean J Dermatol 2010;48(5):402~408)

The colorectal corcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumor in Korea and its carcinogenic mechanism has not been elucidated exactly yet. So far, the most common carcinogenic mechanism has been known to be multiple genetic changes. But, the CpG island hypermethylation has been revealed to be one of the most important carcinogenic mechanism second to the genetic changes. The epigenetic changes characteristically imprint and transfer to the next generation without changes of nucleotide sequences. When the CpG island of promoter or 5'- exon 1 of a specific gene is methylated by DNA methyltrasferases (DNMTs), the gene expression is inhibited. Carcinogenic mechansisms by promoter methylation has been well known, but the progression of the cancer has not been elucidated yet. The molecular researches on the carcinogenic mechanisms largely depended on the tumor tissue containing various components of cell, due to difficulties in harvesting pure homogeneous tumor cells. Promoter methylatonof the cancer related genes as APc, hMLH2, p16, DAP-K and MGMT in 50 cases of sporadic colorectal carcinoma was studied. The pure normal colorectal epithelial cells, and cancer cells from superficial and deep invasive portion were harvested respectively by laser captured microdissection(LCM), and DNA was extracted from them. The promoter methylation was studied by methylation specific poymerase reaction (MSP) after bisulfite modification of the DNA and the expression of the genes by immunohistochemistry. The results suggests that promoter methylation of the cancer related genes are closely related with the colorectal carcinogenesis and it occurrs from early phase of carcinogenesis, progressing constantly to the late stage. And the promoter methylation of normal epithelial cells increased by age. The p15, known to be the genes related to hematologic malignancy, was closely related to the colorectal carcinoma as well.

Lim, Jung-Sun,Jeong, Sun-Young,Hwang, Ji-Yoon,Park, Han-Jin,Cho, Jae-Woo,Song, Chang-Woo,Kim, Yang-Seok,Lee, Wan-Seon,Moon, Jin-Hee,Han, Sang-Seop,Yoon, Seok-Joo The Korean Society of Toxicogenomics and Toxicopro 2005 Molecular & cellular toxicology Vol.1 No.4

Bromobenzene (BB) is well known hepatotoxicant. Also, BB is an industrial solvent that arouses toxicity predominantly in the liver where it causes centrilobular necrosis. BB is subjected to Cytochrome P450 mediated epoxidation followed by either conjugation with glutathione, enzymatic hydrolysis or further oxidation. In this study, we focused on BB-induced gene expression at non-hepatotoxic dose. Mice were exposed to two levels of BB, sampled at 24 h, and hepatic gene expression levels were determined to evaluate dose dependent changes. When examining the toxic dose of BB treated group in other previous studies, genes related to heat shock protein, oxidative stress, and drug metabolism are expressed. Compared to these results, our study, in which non-toxic dose of BB was administrated, showed similar patterns as the toxic conditions above. The purpose of the study was to select genes that showed changes in relation to the differing dose through confirmation of the difference within transcriptomic boundaries, but those that are not detected by the existing classic toxicology tools in non-hepatotoxic dose.

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

頭部 CT上 癎疾性 病所의 消失에 대한 臨床的 意義

梁昌國,申榮宇,張煥一 大韓神經精神醫學會 1983 신경정신의학 Vol.22 No.3

Computed tomography of the brain(CT) has been used routinely, as well as the EEG, to study patients with epilepsy. It gives accurate information about the nature, size, topography and location of morphological abnormalities, and moreover helps to make therapeutic plan of epileptics because CT has made it possible to follow the evolution of epileptic foci. This study was designed to investigate the clinical significance of resolved epileptic foci on follow-up CT. The subjects were the patients who revealed focal low density on CT among the epileptics who visited Kyung Hee University Hospital from the period of March, 1980 to February, 1983. The number of the subjects studied was 24 cases of 15 males and 9 females. The followings were the main results of the study. 1. Male to female ratio was 1.7 to 1. Age distribution revealed to be heavily concentrated in under the age of 30 (17cases, 70.8%). 2. All cases revealed focal low density with or without enhancement on CT. The most common site of lesion was parietal cortex. 3. Nearly complete disappearance or resolution of the focal low density lesion was revealed on follow-up CT in all the subjects. 4. Nine cases improved on the follow-up EEG were consistent with the follow-up CT findings. 5. Operation was performed in 1 case. The biopsy revealed gliosis and perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration, that is nonspecific inflammatory findings such as virus. 6. Considering the age of onset, clinical course and symptomatology, it was supposed that focal low density on CT was focal cerebritis due to virus. 7. The authors propose cautiously that anticonvulsant withdrawal can be attempted through close observation and follow-up study in the cases showing the complete resolution of lesions on follow-up CT and EEG.
