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.

Byeong‐Woo Kim,In‐Cheol Cho,Moon‐Sung Park,Tao Zhong,임현태,Sung‐Soo Lee,Hee‐Bok Park,Moon‐Suck Ko,Jun‐Heon Lee,Jin‐Tae Jeon 한국유전학회 2011 Genes & Genomics Vol.33 No.2

Using a partial D‐loop sequence of mtDNA, an intensive analysis was conducted of the maternal lineages of Jeju native pigs (JNPs) from Korea. In total, 100 mtDNA sequences were obtained from Asian wild boars (AWBs), European wild boars (EWBs), Asian domestic pigs (ADPs), European domestic pigs (EDPs), and JNPs and were used for phylogeny and network analyses. Two distinct JNP groups - one (JNPA) in the Asian cluster and the other (JNPE) in the European cluster - were identified in the estimated phylogenetic tree and network. The maternal lineage of JNPE was the closest to that of EWB and a clear haplogroup was identified that shared an identical haplotype (hap04) among 15 individuals of JNPE and 2 individuals of EWB. A Landrace and an EWB shared hap03with a JNPE. EWB, Landrace, Large White, and Duroc formed two clear haplogroups with JNPE in a parsimonious medianjoining network analysis, suggesting that an obvious maternal contribution of EDP has occurred in JNPE in recent years. A pair‐wise mismatch analysis also indicated that JNPE may have experienced a sudden population expansion, suggesting a more recent establishment compared with the gradual population expansion of JNPA. The JNPE group therefore should be further evaluated in order to decide whether this group should be culled or accepted into further programs for maintenance of the JNP population as a pure breed.

Objectives : There are a number of preceding epidemiological studies reporting gender differences in the genetic etiology of alcohol dependence. The author investigated gender difference in the frequencies of ADH2 and ALDH2 genoypes between the patients with alcohol dependence and normal control. Methods : The subjects were 141 alcohol dependent patients (104 males, 37 females) and 138 normal control (79 males, 59 females). The frequencies of 1/1 and 1/2+2/2 (2+ afterward) genotypes for ADH2 and ALDH2 were investigated in male and female between alcohol dependence and normal control group. DNA was extracted from WBC in peripheral venous blood and PCR-RFLP method was used out for genotyping. Results : First, the frequency of ADH2 1/1 genotype was significantly higher in alcohol dependent patients than normal control in both genders. Second, while there was no gender difference in the frequency of ADH2 1/1 genotype in normal controls, in the patient group however, the frequency was significantly higher in females than males. Third, in male subjects with alcohol dependence, the frequency of ALDH2 1/1 genotype was significantly higher than in male normal control subjects. On the other hand, in female subjects with alcohol dependence, the frequency of ALDH2 2+ genotype was significantly higher than in female normal control subjects. Conclusion : These results suggest that while the risk of alcohol dependence is predominantly affected by ALDH2 1/1 geno-type in male, the female ADH2 1/1 genotype is mainly associated with the risk of alcohol dependence. This means that there are gender differences in the genetic etiology of alcohol dependence.

In recent years, considerable interest has developed in the fatigue strength of reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic loading for the wide-spread adoption of ultimate strength design procedures, the higher strength materials and the new recognition of the effect of repeated loading on structures such as bridges, concrete pavements and offshore structures. In this study, a series of experiments is carried out to investigate the fatigue characteristics of deformed bars and underreinforced simply supported beams, The 69 reinforcing bar specimens with grade SD30 and designation of D16, D22, D25, and 24 beam specimens with D16 bars are prepared for this study. From these series of tests, it is found that ⅰ) the decrease of the bar diameter results in increased fatigue life, ⅱ) the fatigue life of the bars embedded as main reinforcement within a concrete is longer than that of bars in the air. ⅲ) the fatigue strength of beams at ?? cycles with steel ratio of 0.61% and 1.22% is 64.5% and 63.2% of the yielding strength, respectively. It is concluded that the low steel ratio has no significant effect on fatigue strength of underreinforced beams and the fatigue life underreinforced concrete beams can be predicted conservatively by the fatigue life of reinforcing bar.

김재곤,이용희,양철희,백병주 대한소아치과학회 2001 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.28 No.3

1960년대 수복재로서 복합레진이 소개된 이래, 심미성이 우수하고 치질에 대한 접착성이 있는 복합레진이 전치부 수복용 재료로서 널리 사용되어 왔으며, 최근 레진과 필러의 개선에 의해 기계적 성질 내마모성 등의 물리적 성질이 크게 증가하면서 구치부 수복용 재료로서도 점차 그의 응용이 확대되고 있지만. 높은 음력이 작용하는 구치부의 경우 그 사용이 제한적이고 임상적인 예후가 불확실하다는 단점이 있어왔다. 초기의 구치용 복합레진의 예후의 보고에 의하면 비교적 초기에 변연파절이 발현하고 있는 듯하다. 이런 원인으로써는 재료 자신의 강도 접착기법,환경요인등 여러 가지 물성이 복잡하게 영향하고 있다고 생각되어지기 때문에 간단히는 설명할 수 없지만, 일반적으로 취성재료가 인장응력으로 파단하는 것을 생각하면 구치용 복합레진의 인장강도에 대해서 상세히 검사할 필요가 있다고 생각한다. 본 연구에서는 구치부 수복용 복합레진의 인장강도를 평가하기 위해. 5종의 광중합 복합레진(Denfil(Vericom, Korea), P6O(3M,U.S.A.), Unifil S(GC, Japan), ZIOO(3M, U.S.A.), Z250(3M, U.S.A.))을 시험재료로 선택하여 소형인장시험편을 제작한 다음 thermal cycyling과 시효처리를 시행한 후 직접 인장시험법에 의해 인장강도를 측정하고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다 1.P6O의 인장강도는 타 실험군인 Denfil, Unifil S, Z1OO에 비해 유의성 있게 높은 수치를 보였다(p<0.05). 그러나 Z25O과는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 2.Denfil은 타 실험군인 P6O, Unial S, ZIOO. Z25O 모두에 비해 유의성 있게 낮은 수치를 보였다(p<0.05) 3.Unifil S와 Z100은 P6O과 Z250보다 낮은 수치를 나타냈으나(p<0.05). Denfil보다는 증가된 수치를 나타냈다. (p<0.05): Unifil S와 Z100간의 유의한 차이는 없었다(p<0.05). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile strength of light-cured restorative posterior resin-based composites. Five commercially available light-cured composites(Denfil : DF, P6O : PS, Unifil S : US, Z100 : ZH, Z250 : ZT) were used. Rectangular tension test specimens were fabricated in a teflon mold giving 5mm in gauge length and 2mm in thickness. Specimens were subjected to the 5,000 thermal cycles between 5℃ and 55℃ and the immersion time in each bath was 15 second per cycle. Tensile testing was carried out with Instron at a crosshead speed of 0.5mn/min and fractured surface were observed with scanning electron microscope. The obtained results were summarized as follows ; 1. The tensile strength of PS was highest. PS was significantly higher than DF, US and ZH(p<0.05). but in the case of ZT was similar to PS(p>0.05) . 2. The tensile strength of DF was lowest. DF was signigicantly lower· than PS, US, ZH and ZT(p<0.05) . 3. The tensile strength of US and ZH were significantly lower than PS and ZT(p<0.05) but were significantly. higher than DF(p<0.05) . The tensile strength of US and ZH were similar(p>0.05).

면역방사계수법을 이용한 Thyroglobulin 측정시 항 Thyroglobulin 항체의 존재가 미치는 영향

안병철,배진호,정신영,박호용,김정국,하승우,이재태,김보완,이규보 대한내분비학회 2004 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.19 No.1

연구배경: 혈청 thyroglobulin (Tg)은 옥소전신스캔과 함께 분화갑상선암환자에서 갑상선암 재발에 대한 추적관찰에 매우 예민하고, 중요한 표지자로 임상에서 널리 이용된다. 그러나 많은 수의 분화갑상선암환자는 Tg 항체인 항 Tg 항체를 가지고 있고, 이는 방사면역검사법 (radioimmunoassay) 및 면역방사계수 검사법(immunoradiometric assay)으로 Tg 측정시 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 연자들은 면역방사계수법으로 Tg를 측정할 경우, 항 Tg항체에 의하여 어떤 영향이 생길수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 이중위치 고상법 (solid phase two-site)법을 이용하는 ELSA-hTg in vivo test (CIS international, Schering, France) 시약을 이용하여 Tg를 측정하였다. Tg과 항 Tg 항체는 검사시약에 포함된 표준용액을 사용하였으며, Tg는 두 가지 농도 (23.5 ng/mL, 62.5 ng/mL)로, 항 thyroglobulin 항체는 세 가지 농도(25U/mL, 50U/mL, 100U/mL)로 이용하였다. Tg가 높게 나타나는 환자의 혈청에 항 Tg 항체가 높게 나타나는 환자의 혈청을 혼합하여 동일한 방법으로 Tg 검사를 시행하였다. 통계학적 분석은 ANOVA와 Scheffe test 및 Quadratic regression modeling을 시행하였다. 결과: 면역방사계수법을 이용한 Tg 측정시 항 thyroglobulin 항체가 존재하는 경우 그 값이 낮게 측정되었다. Tg 농도가 23.5 ng/mL인 표준용액이 항 Tg 항체의 농도가 0, 25, 50 및 100U/mL 경우, 각각 24.5±1.1, 11.8±0.4, 7.7±0.1 및 4.5±0.4ng/mL로 측정되었으며, Tg 농도가 62.5 ng/mL인 표준용액은 각각 65.9±5.7, 36.3±2.2, 23.7±0.7, 및 14.0±1.0 ng/mL로 측정되었다(ANOVA test, p=0.000). 항 Tg 항체에 의한 Tg 측정값의 저하 정도는 항 Tg 항체의 농도에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다 (Quadratic model regression, SigT=0.000). 결론: 분화갑상선암환자에서 항 Tg 항체의 존재는 면역방사계수법을 이용한 혈청 Tg 측정으로 갑상선암 재발을 파악하는데 방해하는 인자로 작용될 수 있으며, Tg 측정시 항 Tg 항체의 측정이 꼭 필요하며, 항 Tg 항체를 가진 분화갑상선암환자에서 Tg 수치를 해석할 경우 세심한 주의가 요구된다. Background: Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) is a valuable and sensitive tool needed in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), but antithyroglobulin antibody (Anti-Tg), common in patients with DTC, can interfere with the assay for Tg. In this study, we evaluated the influence of Anti-Tg on the measurement of Tg using the immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). Methods: In using ELSA-hTg in vivo test (CIS international, Schering, France), a solid phase two-site IRMA was used to measure Tg (23.5 ng/mL, 62.5 ng/mL) under the absence or presence of three concentrations of Anti-Tg (25U/mL, 50U/mL, 100U/mL). We also performed Tg measurement using patients serum that was mixed with patients serum containing high Anti-Tg. ANOVA and Scheffe tests were performed to evaluate the effect of Anti-Tg on Tg IRMA, and an inverse regression was made to calculate the level of Tg from measured Tg and used Anti-Tg levels and also to assess the degree of effect of anti-Tg on Tg IRMA. Results: In measuring Tg using the standard solution, the presence of Anti-Tg resulted in a falsely suppressed Tg value. The IRMAs for 23.5ng/mL of the standard Tg solution resulted in 24.5±1.1 ng/mL under no Anti-Tg, 11.8±0.4 ng/mL under 25U/mL of Anti-Tg, 7.7±0.1 ng/mL under 50U/mL of Anti-Tg, and 4.5±0.4 ng/mL under 100U/mL of Anti-Tg. IRMAs 62.5 ng/mL of the standard Tg solution resulted in 65.9±5.7 ng/mL under no Anti-Tg, 36.3±2.2 ng/mL under 25U/mL of Anti-Tg, 23.7±0.7 ng/mL under 50U/mL of Anti-Tg, and 14.0±1.0 ng/mL under 100U/mL of Anti-Tg. (ANOVA test, p=0.000). The degree of suppression of the measured Tg value was positively correlated with the Anti-Tg level (Quadratic model regression, Sig T=0.000). The presence of Anti-Tg also resulted in a falsely suppressed Tg value for the Tg measurement using patient's serum. 2004). Conclusion: The presence of Anti-Tg could consist of the use of Tg as a tumor, therefore Anti-Tg should be measured in all patients diagnosed with DTC. The interpretation of the Tg level must be performed with extreme caution in patients with Anti-Tg (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 19:42∼47, 2004)
