흰쥐의 시상하부외 지역에서의 Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) 유전자발현;뇌하수체내 국부인자로서 Lactotroph분화에 관여할 가능성에 대하여

이성호,Lee, Sung-Ho 대한생식의학회 1996 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.23 No.3

Biosynthesis and secretion of anterior pituitary hormones are under the control of specific hypothalamic stimulatory and inhibitory factors. Among them, Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) is the major stimulator of pituitary somatotrophs activating GH gene expression and secretion. Human GHRH is a polypeptide of 44 amino acids initially isolated from pancreatic tumors, and the gene for the hypothalamic form of GHRH is organized into 5 exons spanning over 10 kilobases (kb) on genomic DNA and encodes a messenger RNA of 700-750 nucleotides. Several neuropeptides classically associated with the hypothalamus have been found in the extrahypothalamic regions, suggesting the existence of novel sources, targets and functions. GHRH-like immunoreactivity has been found in several peripheral sites, including placenta, testis, and ovary, indicating that GHRH may also have regulatory roles in peripheral reproductive organs. Furthermore, higher molecular weight forms of the GHRH transcripts were identified from these organs (1.75 kb in testis; 1.75 and >3 kb in ovary). These tissue-specific expression of GHRH gene suggest the existence of unique regulatory mechanism of GHRH expression and function in these organs. In fact, placenta-specific and testis-specific promoters for GHRH transcripts which are located in about 10 kb upstream region of hypothalamic promoter were reported. The use of unique promoters in extrahypothalamic sites could be refered in a different control of GHRH gene and different functions of the translated products in these tissues. Somatotrophs and lactotrophs have been thought to be derived from a common bipotential progenitor, the somatolactotrophs, which give origins to either phenotypes. Although the precise mechanism responsible for the lactotroph differentiation in the anterior pituitary gland has not been yet clalified, there are several candidators for the generation of lactotrophs. In human, the presence of GHRH peptides with different size from authentic hypothalamic form in the normal anterior pituitary and several types of adenoma were demonstrated. Recently our group found the existence of immunoreactive GHRH and its transcript from the normal rat anterior pituitary (gonadotroph> somatotroph> lactotroph), and the GHRH treatment evoked the increased proliferation rate of anterior pituitary cells in vitro. The transgenic mouse models clearly shown that GHRH or NGF overexpression by anterior pituitary cells induced development of pituitary hyperplasia and adenomas particularly GH-oma and prolactinoma. Taken together, we hypothesize that the pituitary GHRH could serve not only as a modulator of hormone secretion but as a paracrine or autocrine regulator of anterior pituitary cell proliferation and differentiation. Interestingly enough, the expression of Pit-1 homeobox gene (the POU class transcription factor) was confined to somatotrophs, lactotrophs and somatolactotrophs in which GHRH receptors are expressed commonly. Concerning the mechanism of somatolactotroph and lactotroph differentiation in the anterior pituitary, we have focused following two possibilities; (1) changes in the relative levels or interactions of both hypothalamic and intrapituitary factors such as dopamine, VIP, somatostatin, NGF and GHRH; (2) alterations of GHRH-GHRH receptor signaling and Pit-1 activity may be the cause of lactotroph differentiation or pituitary hyperplasia and adenoma formation. Extensive further studies will be necessary to solve these complicated questions.

이성호,Lee, Sung-Ho 한국식품영양학회 2013 韓國食品營養學會誌 Vol.26 No.4

음청류에 이용할 수 있는 오미자 추출액을 얻기 위해 증류수, 수돗물과 Ca, Mg 등의 미네랄이 풍부한 청송약수를 이용하여 오미자 추출액을 제조하고 이화화적 특성을 측정하였다. 오미자 추출조건으로는 25배의 용매비로써 실온에서 6, 9, 12, 15시간, $65^{\circ}C$에서 2, 3, 6, 9시간 동안 추출하였다. 추출용액의 명도(L, Lightness), 적색도(a, redness), 황색도(b, yellowness), 가용성 고형분(solid content), 산도(acidity), pH, DPPH 라디칼을 소거능을 이용한 전자 공여능(Electron Donating Ability, EDA)으로부터 전반적으로 양호한 추출조건을 구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 실온에서는 물의 종류에 상관없이 12시간 추출하는 것이 적당하였으며, $65^{\circ}C$ 가온 상태에서는 6시간 추출함이 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 가온 상태에서 약수의 경우 증류수, 수돗물에 비해 빠른 추출이 가능하였으며, 추출 시간이 증가함에 따라 산도는 낮아지나, 고형분의 양과 DPPH 라디칼을 소거능은 증가하였다. 전반적으로 고려할 때에 오미자 추출을 위한 가장 적합한 물로는 미네랄이 풍부한 약수이며, 다음으로 수돗물 그리고 증류수 순서임을 알 수 있다. This is the basic study on the extraction characteristics of Omija (Schizandra chinensis) for juices of Korean traditional foods. Extraction is being performed as 25 times of the solvent ratio at room temperature and at $65^{\circ}C$ with deionized water, tap water and Cheong-song mineral water which have high contents of Ca and Mg. The overall good results of the extraction conditions are calculated from the values of L (Lightness), redness (a), yellowness (b), soluble solids content, acidity, pH levels and the DPPH radical scavenging activity by using the electron donating ability (EDA). The results are as follows: 12 hours of room temperature and 6 hours at $65^{\circ}C$ were good extraction times. The Cheong-song mineral water at $65^{\circ}C$ is available for rapid extractions when compared to deionized water and tap water. A longer extraction time shows lower values of acidity but increasing values of soluble solids content and DPPH radical scavenging activity when using the electron donating ability. The best sequences for the extractions are Cheong-song mineral water followed by tap water and distilled water after overall consideration.

We have developed a high-speed and high-resolution multimodal nonlinear optical microscope, which can acquire in vivo label and label-free 3D images. Using this microscope, we could successfully observe dynamic images of the zebrafish heartbeat with 33-millisecond intervals without staining process, indicating 1.68 beats per second. In addition, we show that the label-free, high-speed, real-time images can be obtained during somatic cell divisions in the zebrafish’s embryo.

이성호,김기성,유상봉,Lee, Sung-Ho,Kim, Gi-Sung,Yoo, Sang-Bong 한국조명전기설비학회 2005 조명·전기설비학회논문지 Vol.19 No.1

지금까지의 고조파 필터는 중성선 리액터와 지그재그결선의 영상 고조파 전류를 제거하였으나, 부하율에 따라 고조파 저감율이 변하여 경부하에서는 고조파 저감율이 낮아지는 특성이 있고, 중성선 리액터 과열로 중성선 단선 위험의 문제가 발생하였다. 본 Zig-Zag 결선 및 Open Delta 방식을 이용한 새로운 고조파 저감장치(HANOS)는 Zig-Zag 결선의 Core Block내에 추가로 Open Delta 방식을 결선하여 중성선에 연결함으로써 중성선에 흐르는 영상 고조파 전류가 과열 없이 안전하게 제거되는 것을 시험 분석한 결과로 증명하였다. The conventional harmonic filters to reduce zero harmonic current from neutral reactors and Zig-Zag connection, have several disadvantages of the decreased reduction rate of harmonics under a light load, because they have the load factor-dependent reduction rate of harmonics, and the risk of potential breaking in the neutral line by heated neutral reactor. Based Zig-Zag connection and Open-Delta mode, this new harmonic eliminating device (HANOS) adopts the combination of Zig-Zag connection and Open-Delta mode-the latter is additionally applied to the transformer's core block for connection to the neutral line. The results of this study demonstrated that the new device could eliminate safely zero harmonic current running in the neutral line without heating.

이성호,이영기,Lee, Sung-Ho,Lee, Young-Ki 대한생식의학회 1999 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.26 No.2

Recent studies clearly demonstrated that the novel expression of LH gene in the rat testis, and suggested the local action of the LH-like molecule. The present study was performed to analyze the expression of LH genes in the rat accessory reproductive organs. Expression of LH subunit genes in the rat uterus and epididymis was demonstrated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and specific LH radioimmunoassay (RIA). The $LH_{beta}$ transcripts in these organs contained the published cDNA structure, the pituitary type exons 1-3, which encoded the entire $LH_{beta}$ polypeptide. Presence of the transcripts for the ${\alpha}$-subunit in the rat reproductive tissues were also confirmed by RT-PCR. In the LH RIA, significant levels of LH were detected in crude extracts from the rat ovary, uterus and epididymis. The competition curves with increasing amount of tissue extracts were parallel with those of standard peptide, indicating that the immunoreactive LH-like materials in these tissues are similar to authentic pituitary LH molecule. In rat epididymis, the highest amount of immunoreactive LH was detected in corpus area. Our findings demonstrated that the genes for LH subunits are expressed in the rat accessory reproductive organs, and suggested that these extrapituitary LH may act as a local regulator with auto and/or paracrine manner.

Expression of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Subunit Genes in the Rat Ovary

이성호,Lee, Sung-Ho The Korean Society for Reproductive Medicine 1998 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.25 No.2

흰쥐 난소에서의 Luteinizing hormonoe (LH) subunit 유전자 발현과 LH polypeptide의 존재를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 LH subunit들에 대한 역전사 중합효소연쇄반응 (RT-PCR)을 시행하고, 난소내 LH 함량을 방사면역측정법으로 정량하였다. 뇌하수체와 정소에서 공통적으로 존재하는 LH-$\beta$ subunit$(LH-\beta})$의 exon에 해당되는 primer를 사용하여 RT-PCR을 시행한 결과 흰쥐 난소에서도 뇌하수체, 정소와 같이 306 bp band가 확인되었고, 정소특이적인 exon에 해당되는 primer를 사용한 결과 정소와 난소에서 예상대로 428 bp band가 검출되었다. 또한 LH, FSH, TSH 그리고 hCG에서 공통적으로 발현되는 common $\alpha$-subunit $(C_\alpha)$의 전사물질도 PCRdml 의해 증폭되었다. 방사면역측정법에서는 LH standard curve와 난소추출물을 사용한 curve가 동일하게 sigmoid 형태를 보임으로서 흰쥐 난소내에 immunoreactive LH가 존재함이 증명되었다. 인위적으로 성적인 성숙을 유도한 PMSG 주사 동물에서 혈중 LH 수준은 주사 후 48시간에 preovulatory LH surge와 유사한 최고 수준을 나타냈으나, 난소내 LH 함량의 경우 주사 24시간 후부터 급격히 감소하여 주사 48, 72시간군까지도 낮은 수준이 유지되었다. 이 결과는 흰쥐 난소의 LH가 생리적으로 조절되고 그 조절방식이 뇌하수체에서와는 다를 가능성을 시사하는 것이다. 본 연구는 흰쥐의 난소에서 LH가 유전자가 발현됨을 최초로 보고한 것이며, LH의 경우 내분비적 경로 (endocrine; 뇌하수체로 부터의 LH)외에도 국부적 경로 (autocrine이나 paracrine; 난소내에서 합성되는 LH)를 통해 난소의 생리와 기능 조절을 담당함을 시사한다. The present study was performed to analyze the expression of LH genes in the rat ovary. Expression of LH subunit genes in the rat ovary was demonstrated by amplification of ovarian RNA by RT-PCR. The ovarian $LH_\beta$ transcripts contained at least two parts of the published cDNA structure, the pituitary exons 1, 2 and 3 and the part of testicular ex on 1 in the major trancripts form in rat testis. Using RIA, significant amount of LH-like molecules were detected in crude ovarian extracts, and the competition curves with increasing amount of tissue extracts were parallel with those of standard peptide, indicating that the ovarian immunoreactive LH-like material is similar to authentic pituitary LH molecule. The administration of PMSG to immature rats resulted in a sharp decrease of the ovarian LH contents after 24 h post-injection. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that genes for LH subunits are expressed in the rat ovary, and suggest that LH can playa central role in regulation of female reproduction with both endocrine (by pituitary LH) and auto- and/or para-crine (by ovarian LH) manner.

청송 달기약수(상탕,중탕,하탕)의 수질특성을 파악하기 위해 1999년 5월부터 2000년 2월까지 약 1년 동안 계절별로 총 28개 항목의 함유성분을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 각 탕별 약수의 수질에 큰 차이가 있었다. 하탕약수는 Mg과 Na이 상대적으로 높았?만? 중탕약수는 Ca, K, Si, Fe, Mn, 전기전도도, 총염기도, DO, $Cl^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$등에서 상대적으로 높은 값을 보였다. 건강상 유해성분인 As, Cd, $Cr^{6+}$, Hg는 검출되지 않았으며, Pb는 기준이하로 나타났다. 먹는물 수질기준을 초과한 항목으로는 경도, Fe와 Mn이었다. 그러나 샘물의 경우에는 이 기준을 적용하지 아니한다고 규정하였다. 약수의 계절별 특징으로는 온도를 제외한 기타 항목에서는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 음용수에서 섭취할 수 있는 미네랄 양을 알아보고자 미국 국립과학아카데미의 하루 요구허용량과 섭취 음용수의 양을 1.O L로 하고 購종善嗤?기준으로 계산한 결과, Ca 35.05%, Mg 36.43%, Na 5.88∼10.63%, K 0.19∼0.57%, Mn 21.86∼43.72%, Zn 0.65%, Cr,Cu, P 등은 0.01% 이하이고, Fe는 95.1%이었다. 따라서 달기약수는 철분이 풍부한 약수임을 알 수 있었다.달기약수는 K index가 111.7∼254.6,O index가 2.3∼4.5로서 Hashimoto가 주장한 K index 5.2,O index 2.O을 상회하므로 건강에 좋고 맛있는 물의 조건을 만족하고 있다. This study deals with the water qualities of Dalgi mineral spring in Cheongsong district.Water samples which were taken from upper, middle and bottorn spring sites were tested for twenty eight important water quality items including minerals, essential and/or toxic trace elements, and the analytical items to affect the taste of mineral water, seasonally from May 1999 to February 2000 The results obtained wereas follows:Each spring site showed much difference in major items. Bottom spring water showed higher value of Mg and Na than others. Middle spring water showed the highest value in all of the items except Mg and Na. The concentration of Hardness, Fe and Mn in mineral water were over than the normal standard for drinking water, but these items are not specified for the mineral water. As, Cd, $Cr^{6+}$ and Hg were not found and Pb was found ln trace level. All of the items proved nearly constant during the four seasons except water temperature. The contribution of mineral water to the nutrition of human was calculated in order to investigate the health effect of drinking water on the bases of Required Daily Allowance,one liter of water drinking and the mineral concentration of the bottom spring. The percentage of consumable minerals of Ca, Mg, Na, K, Mn,Zn and Fe were 35.05,36.43,5.88∼10.63,0.19∼0.57,21.86∼43.72,0.65, and 95.l respectively. This means Dalgl mineral water is pIenty of iron mineral. The K and O indexes of mineraI water appeared to be good for healthy and delicious water.

이성호,김욱,송교영,김진조,진형민,박조현,전해명,박승만,안창준,이준현,Lee, Sung-Ho,Kim, Wook,Song, Kyo-Young,Kim, Jin-Jo,Chin, Hyung-Min,Park, Jo-Hyun,Jeon, Hae-Myung,Park, Seung-Man,Ahn, Chang-Jun,Lee, Jun-Hyun 대한위암학회 2007 대한위암학회지 Vol.7 No.2

목적: 위암이 국소적으로 진행하여 췌장과 비장으로 직접 침윤이 발생되었을 췌-비장 절제를 시행하는 것에는 반대 의견이 없지만, 췌-비장의 보존이 가능함에도 불구하고, 비장혈관이나 비문부 림프절의 완전 절제를 위해서 췌-비장 절제가 시행되는 것은 논란의 여지가 많다 저자들은 위 중-상부의 진행암으로 위 전절제술과 함께 원위부 췌-비장 절제가 시행되었던 환자들의 수술 결과 분석을 통하여 불필요한 합병절제를 피할 수 있는 방법을 찾고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 2001년까지 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 외과학교실에서 위 전절제술과 동반되어 원위부 췌-비장 절제가 시행된 118명의 환자 중, 병리 조직학적으로 암의 췌장 침윤이 없었던 90예(I군)와 침윤이 확인된 28예(II군)의 임상병리학적 특성, 이환율과 사망률 및 생존율 등을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 전체 118예 중 췌장 침윤이 확인된 pT4는 28예(23.7%)였고, 침윤이 없었던 pT3과 pT2가 각각 65예(55.1%) 와 20예(16.9%)였으며, pT1도 5예(4.3%)였다. 병기는 28예의 pT4 중에서 림프절 전이가 있어 IV기인 경우가 25예(89.3%)였고, 림프절 전이가 없는 IIIa기는 3예(10.7%)에 불과하였다. 또한 I군은 la (pT1N0)기 4예, Ib (pT2N0)기 7예였고, II기는 pT2N1 8예, pT3N0 12예, pT1N2 1예였으며, III기는 IIIa 15예, IIIb 17예, IV기는 26예였다. 두 군의 임상병리학적 특성 중 병기, 절제연 및 근치도에서 유의한 차이를 보였고, 생존에 영향을 미치는 인자들의 단변량 분석에서는 병기, 위벽 침윤, 췌장 침윤, 림프절전이, 비장혈관과 비문부 림프절 전이, 전이 림프절 비율, 근치도, 간 및 복막 전이 등에서 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 이 중 병기와 전이 림프절 비율 및 근치도가 예후에 영향을 미치는 독립적 예후인자로 나타났다. 5년 생존율은 I군이 36.2%, II군이 13.9%였고, 술 후 합병증으로 췌장 루 6예(5.1%), 복강 내 농양 5예(4.2%), 출혈 5예(4.2%)로 수술로 인한 전체 이환율은 22.1%였으며, 사망률은 6.8% (8예)였다. 결론: 진행성 상부 위암으로 위 전 절제술을 시행할 때 원위부 췌-비장 절제는 이환율이 비교적 높은 술식이기 때문에 간이나 복막전이가 없는 상태에서 위암의 병기가 높고, 절제연이 불충분하며, 근치적 절제가 불가능하다고 판단될 때에만 선택적으로 시행되는 것이 좋다고 생각한다. Purpose: Routine pancreatico-splenectomy with total gastrectomy should no longer be considered as the standard surgical procedure for gastric cancer because of the lack of proven surgical benefit for survival. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinicopathologic factors and the survival of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and they had undergone combined pancreatico-splenectomy with a curative intent. Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 118 patients who had undergone total gastrectomy with distal pancreatico-splenectomy from 1990 to 2001. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 90 patients who were free from cancer invasion (group I), and 28 patients with histologically proven cancer invasion into the pancreas (group II). The various clinicopathologic factors that were presumed to influence survival and the survival rates were analyzed. Results: The rate of pathological pancreatic invasion was 23.7%. The tumor stage, depth of invasion, pancreas invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymph node ratio, curability and the hepatic and peritoneal metastasis were statistically significance on univariate analysis. Among these factors, the tumor stage, lymph node ratio and curability were found to be independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis. The 5-years survival rates were 36.2% for group I and 13.9% for group II. The morbidity rate was 22.1%, and this included pancreatic fistula (5.1%), intra-abdominal abscess (4.2%) and bleeding (4.2%). The overall mortality rate was 0.8%. Conclusion: Combined distal pancreatico-splenectomy with total gastrectomy with a curative intent was selectively indicated for those patients with visible tumor invasion to the pancreas, a difficult complete lymph node dissection around the distal pancreas and spleen, and no evidence of liver metastasis or peritoneal dissemination.
