No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

This study was conducted to investigate the preventingeffects of OPB (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch and Eleuth-erococcus senticosus Max extracts) and combined OPB/Calcium therapy on bone loss in ovariectomized rats. SixtySprague Dawley rats of 12-week-old were divided into eightgroups: OVX (ovariectomized), OPBL (OPB 50mg/kg),OPBM (OPB100mg/kg), OPBH (OPB 200mg/kg), OPBL/CAL(OPBL+CAL), OPBM/CAL (OPBM+CAL), OPBH/CAL (OPBH+CAL) and CAL (Calcium citrate 88.33mg/kg+1α, 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 33.33IU/kg). Bone mineraldensity (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), bone strengthindices and cortical thickness were analyzed by peripheralquantitative computerized tomography (pQCT). pQCTscanning showed that OVX induced a significant decreasein trabecular bone mineral density and bone mineralcontent in the proximal tibia (-36.4±2.4%, -21.8±12.7%).These decreases were significantly prevented by theadministration of OPBM and OPBM/CAL. Cortical BMDand BMC of tibia were slightly enhanced by OPB and OPB/CAL. However there was no significant difference betweenOVX and OPB, OPB/CAL treated group. Bone strengthindices and cortical thickness were not significantly different.Our results suggest that OPB and combined OPB/Calciumtherapy are effective in preventing the development of boneloss induced by ovariectomy in rats.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

Research on unused energy continues due to the limits of fossil fuel and the destruction of the environment. Therefore this study was performed as follows. The collectable amount of exhausted heat for an air-conditioning was calculated by the subway thermal environment prediction program. And the electric power needed by conventional heat source equipment was compared with one by unused heat source equipment when the exhausted heat was used by heat pump in heating and hot water supply. The results are summarized as follows 1. Forced ventilation should be conducted to keep optimal temperature in the subway tunnel in summer as well as in winter. According to the simulation, the temperature in tunnel was higher than that on the ground in summer when the forced ventilation was conducted only in the winter. 2. Ventilating time should be calculated out to the optimal condition for not only the saving power of the ventilation fan but reusing exhausted heat. By the simulation, it is certain that the exhausted heat should be eliminated in air-conditioning time. 3. The use of the exhausted heat source heat pump could save 8% of electric power per hour in comparison with existing heat pump. This was based on a present heat generation and traffic for ventilating time of general air-conditioning, but could be different by ventilating time. 4. As the traffic increases up to 1.5 or 2 times, electric power consumption of the conventional heat pump increases to 11% or 13.5% per mean hour in comparison with that of the exhausted heat source heat pump, though all-day ventilation.

The humidity control is conducted not only for industrial applications but also for domestic ones. High humidity is a factor causing discomfort, thus the importance of using a LiCl(Lithium Chloride) solution has been recognized in recent years in connection with the high quality of goods to be manufactured. as well as cleanliness in a special environment against air pollution and environmental protection. This paper will examine the solar energy regenerator as a part of an open cycle solar energy absorption system for dehumidifying and drying purposes using LiCl solution. An outdoor experiment was done to find out how much could be regenerated in summer. It was found that regeneration rate was about 10kg/day at best in August, and about 5kg/day in September.

Pseudomembranous colitis, caused by altering the normal colonic flora and allowing the multiplication of Clostridium difficile, is an deleterious adverse effect of antibiotics. But it is rarely reported by rifampicin. Rifampicin is one of the first line drug in the treatment of tuberculosis and many patients are exposed to its potential adverse effects. We experienced a patient that had abdominal discomfort and hematochezia due to pseudomembranous colitis after receiving antituberculous medication, and which was probably caused by rifampicin. A 82 years old man was admitted with abdominal discomfort and hematochezia for one week. On the past history he had been diagnosed as endobronchial tuberculosis about 4 months ago. Colonoscopy revealed multiple discrete whitish mucosal lesion on rectosigmoid colon, and histologic findings were consistent with pseudomembranous colitis. The antituberculous agents were discontinued and vancomycin was administered. The patient's symptoms were resolved within several days. There was no recurrence after reinstitution of the antituberculous agents excluding rifampicin. We report here on a case of pseudomembranous colitis probably due to rifampicin.

We performed rumen fistula operation in a sheep. In sheep, the procedure for a rumen fistula is quite successful, but choice of an appropriate cannula is of prime importance. The sheep was anesthetized by xylazine(0.1 ㎎/㎏ IM) administration 5 minutes after administration of atropine sulfate(0.1 ㎎/㎏ IM). We inserted rubber cannula in rumen incised and put rubber ring after employing purse-string suture in rumen. We marked the area for the puncture incision in the body wall through which the cannula is drawn. We drew the cannula as near the transverse process of the lumbar vertebrae as possible to minimize leakage. We isolated the cannula by fixing the stainless washer which has small holes. The sheep was given postoperative penicillin(20,000 IU/㎏ IM) to prevent secondary infection for 3 days. There were not observed the leakage of rumen contents, the entering of rubber cannula into abdominal cavity, and necrosis on incision site and skin, over months after surgery.

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.

Potatos, together with tangerines, are one of the major agricultural products in Jeju, and the production account for more than 30% of the domestic production. Recently some kinds of sorting machine for potatos are available, but they are not extensively used because their performance is not satisfactory and/or they are very expensive. This paper presents a load based high speed weighting method for sorting the potatos. This method is based on the fact that the linear momentum of a potato is proportional to the mass of it. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated with sets of experiments.
