Objectives:This study was to identify weight & metabolic changes in first-episode psychotic patients with antipsychotics use and investigate the differences of weight & metabolic changes between first-episode psychotic patients and controls with antipsychotics use. Method:In this retrospective study, twenty eight first-episode psychotic patients and twenty eight controls with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or bipolar disorder defined by DSM-IV criteria were included. Information about demographic and clinical characteristics of the subjects was gathered from the medical records. Also body weight, sBP, dBP, fasting glucose, lipid profile and WBC count were evaluated before and after antipsychotics use. Rogistic regression was conducted to assess factors associated with weight gain. Results:First-episode psychotic patients showed more weight and BMI changes than controls after antipsychotics use, and these changes continue over 12 months. On the other hand, there were no significant factors associated with weight gain. Conclusion:The results of present study suggest that antispychotics is one of the major causes inducing weight gain of psychotic patients and antipsychotics-induced weight gain is more vulnerable to drug-naive first-episode psychotic patients.

목적 : 제일제당에서는 녹농균의 세포외막 단밸질을 유효성분으로 하는 백신인 CFC-101을 개발하였으며, 동물시험에서 이 백신의 안전성과 유효성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 녹농균 백신의 인체에 대한 안전성과 면역원성을 평가하는 동시에 인체 접종시의 최적 투여 용량을 결정하기 위하여 제 I/Ⅱa상 임상시험을 수행하였다. 방법 : 건강한 성인 남자를 피험자로 선별하여 각 용량군에 백신투여자 6명, 위약투여자 2명을 배정하였다. 백신 투여군은 0.25mg, 0.5mg 또는 1.0mg 용량의 녹농균 백신을 7일 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 근육주사 하였으며, 위약 투여군에게는 세포외막 단백질을 제외한 동일한 성분을 투여하였다. 백신접종 후 국소적 또는 전신적인 반응의 발생여부를 관찰하고, 혈액시료를 체취하여 백신의 역가와 유효성을 검정하였다. 결과 : 녹농균 백신 CFC-101은 모든 접종자에서 양호한 내약성을 보였다. 또한 0.5mg 과 1.0mg 백신 투여군에서는 100%의 항체양전율을 나타내었다. 생성된 항체는 녹농균 세포외막단백질에 특이성을 보였고, 녹농균 감염에 대해 방어효능이 있었다. 결론 : 이와같은 결과로부터 이 녹농균 백신은 인체에 안전하게 투여할 수 있으며, 높은 항체 생성능으로 감염방어 효능을 보이고 0.5mg과 1.0mg이 최적용량인 것으로 판단되었다. Background : We developed a Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein(OMP) vaccine CFC-101, and the prophylactic efficacy of which has been demonstrated in animal models. In order to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the P. aeruginosa vaccine, we carried out a phase I/Ⅱa clinical trial in healthy male volunteers. Methods : Groups of eight volunteers, including two placebo subjects, were vaccinated intramuscularly with three doses of 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 mg of the vaccine at one week intervals. Sings of systemic and local reactions observed after vaccination were recorded for each vaccinee for 5 days. Physical examinations were performed on days 0, 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 42, and clinical laboratory tests were done on days 0, 3, and 21. Blood samples for assay of serum antibody levels were obtained up to 42 days after the first vaccination. Results : The vaccine was generally well tolerated by all vaccinees, showing no significant side effects. In the three dosage groups, all vaccinees, except one receiving the 0.25 mg dose, showed significant elevation in serum IgG antibody titers against the vaccine proteins, indicating 100% seroconversion in 0.5 and 1.0 mg groups. The human antibodies induced by the vaccine were specific for P. aeruginosa OMPs, as confirmed by western blot analysis and immunoprecipitation assays. The capacity of the human antisera to enhance opsonophagocytic killing activity by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and to confer protection against P. aeruginosa infections indicates that the antibodies elicited by the vaccine have protective efficacy. Conclusion : We conclude that the P. aeruginosa OMP vaccine is safe and effective for human use and its optimal dose to be 0.5 or 1.0 mg.

OBJECTIVE:: To investigate the relation between clinical outcomes and nodal features on computed tomography (CT) in cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (CTBL) before and after antituberculous chemotherapy. METHODS:: Fifty-six patients with CTBL underwent CT before and after a 6- or 12-month course of standard chemotherapy. Three radiologists evaluated the nodal features on serial CT retrospectively, including calcification (no/punctuate/large), necrosis (no/eccentric/central), perinodal infiltrations (no/localized/extensive), and enhancing patterns (no/peripheral/homogeneous). The clinical outcome was defined as “favorable” (n = 33) or “unfavorable” (n = 23) at the completion of chemotherapy. RESULTS:: All the features on the initial CT scan did not show a statistically significant difference between the favorable and unfavorable groups. On the final CT scan, absence of necrosis (P < 0.005), no infiltration (P < 0.005), no enhancement (P < 0.008), and central enhancement (P < 0.014) were more common in the favorable group, whereas large necrosis (P < 0.005), localized and extensive infiltration (P = 0.005, P < 0.005), and peripheral enhancement were more common in the unfavorable group (P < 0.005, P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS:: Central necrosis, perinodal infiltration, and peripheral rim enhancement on the final CT scan showed differences between the 2 groups. These CT features reflecting inflammation can be useful findings for assessing treatment response.

Objectives:Abnormalities in the QT interval have been associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. However, there is no clear correlation between cigarette smoking and QT interval prolongation in schizophrenia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of cigarette smoking on the QT interval and estimate the prevalence of prolonged QT interval in schizophrenic patients who take antipsychotics. Methods:We studied 106 schizophrenic patients taking antipsychotics and age- and sex-matched 106 people in control group. A prolonged QTc interval was defined as >450 msec in men and >470 msec in women. The demographic data and clinical characteristics of subjects were collected from medical records. The correlations between QTc interval and other variables were assessed using a regression analysis. Results:There was no significant association between cigarette smoking and QT interval. The mean QT interval was not significantly influenced by antipsychotic dose and type of antipsychotics. However, there was significantly prolonged QT interval in schizophrenic patients(421.1±25.7 msec) compared to control group(412.1±17.1 msec) (p=0.003). The prevalence of prolonged QT interval in schizophrenic patients was 6.6%(7 of 106 patients). Five patients( 71.4%) were smoker and six patients(85.7%) had obesity. By contrast, nobody had a prolonged QT interval in control group. Conclusions:The prevalence of prolonged QT interval was relatively high among middle aged schizophrenia patients. And there was significantly prolonged QT interval and higher body mass index in schizophrenia patients.

Deficiency of calpain-6 inhibits primary ciliogenesis

The primary cilium is a microtubule-based structure projecting from a cell. Although the primary cilium shows no motility, it can recognize environmental stimuli. Thus, ciliary defects cause severe abnormalities called ciliopathies. Ciliogenesis is a very complex process and involves a myriad of components and regulators. In order to excavate the novel positive regulators of ciliogenesis, we performed mRNA microarray using starved NIH/3T3 cells. We selected 62 murine genes with corresponding human orthologs, with significantly upregulated expression at 24 h after serum withdrawal. Finally, calpain-6 was selected as a positive regulator of ciliogenesis. We found that calpain-6 deficiency reduced the percentage of ciliated cells and impaired sonic hedgehog signaling. It has been speculated that this defect might be associated with decreased levels of α-tubulin acetylation at lysine 40. This is the first study to report a novel role of calpain-6 in the formation of primary cilia. [BMB Reports 2019; 52(10): 619-624]

The current education is becoming more extensive with the application of various teaching methods. This is a problem that is so distributed that it is difficult for users to find the data and it takes a long time to find the information they need. Currently, various educational services, materials, and instruments are developed and scattered. Therefore, it is important to raise students' awareness of aptitude and career path with customized education tailored to students. Conventional education platforms have very difficult to choose the right materials for students because of the spread of educational programs and institution materials. To solve this, we propose a customized recommendation approach to recommend customized educational service materials and institution for students to teachers, which helps teachers conveniently choose materials suitable for their respective environments. On this new platform, the CNN algorithm provides recommended content for classes and students. For real service on the educational service platform, we implement this system for Jeil edus business . Through this mechanism, we expect to improve the quality of education by helping to select the right service.

Increased 1-Deoxysphingolipids and Skin Barrier Dysfunction in the Skin of X-ray or Ultraviolet B Irradiation and Atopic Dermatitis Lesion Could Be Prevented by Moisturizer with Physiological Lipid Mixture

( Bo Young Chung ),( Hye One Kim ),( Seok Young Kang ),( Min Je Jung ),( Sung Woo Kim ),( Kyung Sook Yoo ),( Kyong Oh Shin ),( Se Kyoo Jeong ),( Chun Wook Park ) 대한피부과학회 2020 Annals of Dermatology Vol.32 No.4

Background: Skin diseases characterized by epithelial barrier dysfunction show altered sphingolipid metabolism, which results in changes in the stratum corneum intercellular lipid components and structure. Under pathological conditions, 1-deoxysphingolipids form as atypical sphingolipids from de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. Objective: This study investigated the potential role of 1-deoxysphingolipids in skin barrier dysfunction secondary to X-ray and ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation in vitro and in vivo. It was also evaluated changes in the expression of 1-deoxysphingolipids in lesional human skin of atopic dermatitis. Methods: In this study, the changes in these 1-deoxysphingolipids levels of skin and serum samples were investigated in skin barrier dysfunction associated with X-ray and UVB irradiation in vitro and in vivo. Results: Increased 1-deoxysphingolipids were observed in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes after X-ray irradiation. X-ray or UVB irradiation increased the production of 1-deoxysphingosine in a reconstituted 3-dimensional (3D) skin model. Interestingly, treatment with a physiological lipid mixture (multi-lamellar emulsion contained pseudoceramide), which can strengthen the epidermal permeability barrier function, resulted in decreased 1-deoxysphingosine formation in a reconstituted 3D skin model. Further investigation using a hairless mouse model showed similar preventive effects of physiological lipid mixture against 1-deoxysphingosine formation after X-ray irradiation. An increased level of 1-dexoysphingosine in the stratum corneum was also observed in lesional skin of atopic dermatitis. Conclusion: 1-deoxysphingosine might be a novel biomarker of skin barrier dysfunction and a physiological lipid mixture treatment could prevent 1-deoxysphingosine production and consequent skin barrier dysfunction.

Kyung Hwan Chang,Suk Lee,Kwang Hyeon Kim,Jang Bo Shim,Dae Sik Yang,Young Je Park,Won Sup Yoon,Chul Yong Kim,Yuanjie Cao 한국물리학회 2016 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.69 No.2

In this study, the geometric and dosimetric accuracy of an in-house-developed couch-based tracking system (CBTS) was investigated using both film and in-house-developed polymer gel dosimeters. We evaluated the 1D and the 2D motion accuracies of our couch system by using Gafchromic EBT film. For the 1D test, the couch system was moved 5, 10, and 20 mm in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively. Meanwhile, for the 2D test, it was moved along the XY, YZ, and ZX directions. We compared the profiles, full widths at half maximum (FWHMs), and penumbras between the static and the tracking fields. For the 3D test, we quantitatively compared the dose distribution between the static and the tracking fields by using the polymer gel dosimeter when it was simultaneously moved in the XYZ directions. We confirmed that the film was moved according to motion amplitudes of 5, 10, and 20 mm in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively, in the 1D and 2D motion tests. The value of the FWHM of the static field and the three tracking fields were 51.88, 53.28, 57.67, and 64.43 mm, respectively. Two types of penumbras became wider with increasing amplitudes compared to the static field. For the 3D test, the dose distribution of the XYZ tracking field was qualitatively larger than that of the static field. We conclude that this CBTS has the potential for pre-clinical applications in adaptive radiation therapy.
