ABSTRACT - This study was performed to evaluate hepatoprotective effect of daewhang-whangryunhaedok-Tang(DWT) on liver injured rats induced by CCI_4 and the acute oral toxicity of it in mice. The activities of serum transaminase(ALT/AST), alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and lactic dehydrogenase(LDH), the levels of serum total cholesterol(TC) and triglyceride(TG), change of liver enlargement, and inhibitory activities of lipid perotidation, catalase and glutathione-S-transfrease(GST) in liver microsome were determined in hepatotoxic rats induced by CCI_4. DWT was significantly reduced the serum ALT, AST, ALP, LDH. TC and TG lecels. And, the increase of lipid peroxidation, decrease of catalase and GST activities in the liver microsome of CCI_4-intoxicated rat were significantly improved by the treatment of DWT. Male and female mice were administered maximum dosages of 5.000 mg/kg b.w. of DWT. After single oral administration of DWT to mice, we observed them daily for 2 weeks.DWT did not induce any toxic signs in the mortalitie, clinical signs, body weight changes, and gross necropsy finfings of mice. Based in these results. It is concluded that DWT may have the hepatoprotective effect on CCI_4 induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Also. DWT may have no side effect and its LD_50 value may be over 5.000mg/kg b.w. in mice.

원발성골림프종은 매우 드문 질환이기는 하나, 복합항암요법이나 방사선 치료등에 높은 반응율을 보이며, 좋은 예후를 가지는 림프절의 비호지킨 림프종의 일종이다. 그러나, 치료 효과 판정에 있어 골병변의 특이성에 의한 모호한 방사선학적 특징으로 어려움이 있어 왔다. 본 증례는 위와 같은 원발성골림프종 환자에서 PET 스캔을 사용하여 민감하게 완전 반응을 평가할 수 있었던 예로, 앞으로 다른 고식적인 방법과 함께 이 질환의 진단과 치료 평가 있어 유용하게 사용 될 수 있을 것으로 전망할 수 있었다. Purpose: Accurate assessment of the lesion after treatment of patients with bone lymphoma is difficult. In this patient who demonstrated complete remission after chemotherapy, the regions of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (^(18)FFDG)PET uptake diminished more rapidly following therapy, indicating a complete response at much earlier stage than did Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or CT based findings. With the conventional methods, such as MRI and CT. It was difficult to assess whether the residual tumor tissue was viable or not. Decision to complete response is very important in patients with ymphoma to plan the further treatment. We experienced a patient with primary lymphoma of bone who revealed complete response to chemotherapy on ^(18)FFDGPET while CT showed persistent destructive bone lesion. Thus, ^(18)FFDGPET study after therapy may be superior to CT in the evaluation of response to treatment in primary lymphoma of bone.

Soybean transgenic plants with ectopically expressed AtABF3 were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and investigated the effects of AtABF3 expression on drought and salt tolerance. Stable Agrobacterium-mediated soybean transformation was carried based on the half-seed method (Paz et al. 2006). The integration of the transgene was confirmed from the genomic DNA of transformed soybean plants using PCR and the copy number of transgene was determined by Southern blotting using leaf samples from $T_2$ seedlings. In addition to genomic integration, the expression of the transgenes was analyzed by RT-PCR and most of the transgenic lines expressed the transgenes introduced. The chosen two transgenic lines (line #2 and #9) for further experiment showed the substantial drought stress tolerance by surviving even at the end of the 20-day of drought treatment. And the positive relationship between the levels of AtABF3 gene expression and drought-tolerance was confirmed by qRT-PCR and drought tolerance test. The stronger drought tolerance of transgenic lines seemed to be resulted from physiological changes. Transgenic lines #2 and #9 showed ion leakage at a significantly lower level (P < 0.01) than ${\underline{n}}on-{\underline{t}}ransgenic$ (NT) control. In addition, the chlorophyll contents of the leaves of transgenic lines were significantly higher (P < 0.01). The results indicated that their enhanced drought tolerance was due to the prevention of cell membrane damage and maintenance of chlorophyll content. Water loss by transpiration also slowly proceeded in transgenic plants. In microscopic observation, higher stomata closure was confirmed in transgenic lines. Especially, line #9 had 56% of completely closed stomata whereas only 16% were completely open. In subsequent salt tolerance test, the apparently enhanced salt tolerance of transgenic lines was measured in ion leakage rate and chlorophyll contents. Finally, the agronomic characteristics of ectopically expressed AtABF3 transgenic plants ($T_2$) compared to NT plants under regular watering (every 4 days) or low rate of watering condition (every 10 days) was investigated. When watered regularly, the plant height of drought-tolerant line (#9) was shorter than NT plants. However, under the drought condition, total seed weight of line #9 was significantly higher than in NT plants (P < 0.01). Moreover, the pods of NT plants showed severe withering, and most of the pods failed to set normal seeds. All the evidences in the study clearly suggested that overexpression of the AtABF3 gene conferred drought and salt tolerance in major crop soybean, especially under the growth condition of low watering.

Background: Green nail syndrome (GNS) is an infectious disease developing greenish discoloration of the nail with accompanying nail disorder such as onycholysis and paronychia. However the data about its clinical characteristics and treatment response has been limited. Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics of green nail syndrome in Korean patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records and clinical photos of 80 patients with 96 GNS lesions who diagnosed with GNS in the Pusan National University Hospitals (Busan and Yangsan) from 2009 through 2020. Results: 52 patients (65%) had risk factors for GNS include frequent wet conditions, immunosuppressive conditions, and trauma. Involvement of the thumbnail or great toenail was found in 62 lesions (64.6%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected on 23 nails (48.9%) among 47 nails showing positive bacterial culture, and fungal infection was found on 19 nails (19.7%). Several treatments including bleaching and drying nail, topical antibiotics, topical antifungals, and surgical avulsion were tried. And there were some differences of therapeutic responses according to the selected treatment modalities. Bleaching and drying showed better effect on color changes of nail, while topical antibiotics and antifungal cream showed better effect on preventing spreading. Conclusion: The result of this study could be helpful for dermatologists when encountering patients with greenish nail change.

Background: The purpose of this study was to document the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients with tuberculosis (TB) in combat and auxiliary police, living in a group, in Korea where the incidence rate of active TB in a general population is higher than in Western countries. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all tuberculosis patients diagnosed at National Police Hospital from January 2002 through December 2004. Results:In 2002-2004, a total of 156 cases of tuberculosis were identified with the mean (Standard deviation) age of 20.6 (±1.0) years. Of these, 134 (85.9%) patients were registered as new cases, 11 (7.1%) as relapse, 2 (1.3%) as failure, 5 (3.1%) as treatment-after-default cases whereas 4 (2.6 %) patients were not included in any categories. Average annual new TB rate and smear-positive TB rate were 86.5/10^(5) and 17.4/10^(5) person-years, respectively. In 12 of 31 smear-positive cases, time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis was more than 30 days. Two multidrug-resistance TB cases were identified and two suspected outbreak episodes of TB had occurred during 3 years. Conclusion:There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of new cases of TB between the general population aged 20 to 29 years and combat and auxiliary police in Korea. 배경 : 국내 결핵의 발생은 감소 추세에 있으나 여전히 후진국형 발생양상을 보이고 있다. 특히 집단생활을 하는 젊은이들에서 발생하는 결핵의 유행이 간헐적으로 알려지고 있어 우려를 낳고 있다. 이에 저자들은 최근 전경대원의 결핵 발병 양상에 대해 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 3년간 경찰병원에서 결핵 진료를 받은 전경대원의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하여 연도별 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성결핵 신환율, 진단 지연, 집단발병, 다제내성결핵을 조사하였다. 결과 : 연도별 결핵 신환자 수(10만명당 발생추정치)는 2002년 50명(83.6명), 2003년 42명(83.7명), 2004년 42명(93.5명)이었고 도말양성 폐결핵 신환자 수는 2002년 10명(16.7명), 2003년 11명(21.9명), 2004년 6명(13.4명)이었다. 3년간 도말양성 폐결핵 환자는 31명이 있었고 그 중 12명은 호흡기 증상 발생 30일이 지나서 진단을 받았다. 다제내성 결핵은 2명이 있었으며 결핵의 집단발병이 의심되는 사례는 2차례 있었다. 결론 : 전경대원과 20-29세 연령군 일반인의 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성 폐결핵 발생률의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a generalized connective tissue disorder of unknown etiology. Clinically, there is a broad spectrum of disease ranging from widespread severe skin thickening to skin thickening limited to the distal extremities. In rare cases of systemic sclerosis, no cutaneous change only with internal organ involvement has been reported, which is called `systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma (ssSSc)`. We describe a patient with Raynaud`s phenomenon, who showed intestinal pseudoobstruction as a presenting symptom but did not show any skin change. She had also an esophageal motility disorder, but other organ involvement was not evident. Antinuclear antibody was positive. Her obstruction symptoms were improved by decompression by nasogastric tube and pharmaceutical treatment with erythromycin and octreotide.

저자들은 CA 19-9 상승을 동반한 무증상의 위 이소성 췌장을 내시경 점막하 박리술을 통하여 확진 및 제거하였으며 추적 검사에서 CA 19-9의 정상화를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Ectopic pancreas is an uncommon clinical finding, and it is rare for heterotopic pancreatic tissue to cause symptoms. The most common sites for ectopic pancreas are the submucosal layer of the stomach and the small intestine. An ectopic pancreas is subject to various pathological changes occurring in the pancreas itself, namely cyst, pancreatitis, hemorrhage, abscess, necrosis, and neoplastic changes. We report a case of a gastric ectopic pancreas associated with elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9). We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection for histologic diagnosis and removal of the submucosal tumor in the stomach, and histological examination confirmed ectopic pancreas tissue. One months later, serum CA 19-9 declined to a normal level.(Korean J Med 74:663-666, 2008)

Background: Recently, Korean Medicine treatment with pharmacopuncture therapy (PPT) has been increasingly used in clinical practice to improve symptoms in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PPT in addition to conventional Korean Medicine treatment (CKMT) for the treatment of patients with LSS, compared with CKMT alone. Methods: This study is designed as a pragmatic, randomized, two-armed, parallel, stratified (by sex), controlled pilot trial. Forty patients diagnosed with LSS will be randomly allocated to the PPT + CKMT group or the CKMT group. Patients in the two groups will receive treatment two times weekly for 5 weeks. The primary outcome will be the mean change in the 100-mm visual analog scale score from the baseline to the end of treatment (week 5). The secondary outcomes will include the clinically important difference, Zurich Claudication Questionnaire score, self-reported walking capacity, Modified–Modified Schober test, EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level questionnaire, and Patients’ Global Impression of Change. Adverse events will be assessed at each visit. Discussion: The results of this study will provide meaningful data to evaluate the add-on effect and safety of PPT in the medical care of patients with LSS.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between rainfall-discharge patterns and major aquatic environmental factors in a river-type reservoir. Specifically, daily monitoring was conducted in Paltang Reservoir from January 1999 to December 2001. Observation of the daily changes of the environment factors showed that natural meteorological factors and hydrological factors causing the change of water discharge had a major effect on the aquatic environment. Rainfall was the main source of hydrological changes, with its frequency a possible direct variable governing the range of discharge changes. Rainfall was weak in November~ May and heavy in June~October (heavist in summer). The range of water discharge was greatest during summer(July to September) and lowest during winter(january to February). A principal component analysis (PCA) showed that aquatic environmental factors could be classified into three different types in the pattern of annual variation. First, type I included water temperature, turbidity, water color and organic matter(COD), which increased with increasing water discharge. Second, type Ⅱ consisted of DO and pH, which decreased with increasing water discharge. Third type Ⅲ included conductivity, alkalinity and chloride ion, which showed middle values with increasing water discharge, Monthly variation of aquatic environments explained by the first two dimensions of PCA suggests that aquatic environments explained by the first two dimensions of the PCA suggests that aquatic environments of Paltang Reservoir may have annual cycle typical of river-type reservoirs depending on hydrological factor such as water discharge.

연구목적 : 본 다기관 공동임상연구는 국내 환자를 대상으로 새로운 항정신병약물인 올라자핀의 치료 효과와 안전성을 확인하고자 시행되었다. 방 법 : 1999년 7월부터 2000년 3월까지 국내 10개 병원에 방문한 정신분열병 및 정신분열형 장애 105명을 대상으로 비대조 개방 임상연구를 시행하였다. 중등도 이상의 정신병 증상을 지니거나, 부작용으로 약물교체가 필요한 경우 또는 기분장애 증상의 치료가 필요한 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 2∼7일간의 약물 배설기간 후에 1일 10mg의 올란자핀을 투여하였고, 이후로 3∼7일 간격으로 용량을 조절하여 총 8주간 투여하였다. 치료 효과는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), BPRS(Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression-Severity), MADRS(Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale), HAM-A(Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety)로 판정하였다. 안전성 평가는 자발적인 이상반응 보고, 활력징후와 혈액 검사 및 SAS(Simpson-Angus Scale), BARS(Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale), AIMS(Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale)척도를 이용하였다. 결 과 : 105명중에서 85.7%인 90명이 8주간의 치료를 완료하였다. 평균 최빈 용량은 일일 16.1(±4.7)mg이었고, 종료시점에서의 BPRS전체 점수가 기저 상태에 비해 40%이상 감소된 반응군은 69.5%이었다. PANSS의 양성 증후군과 일반정신병리 뿐만 아니라 음성 증후군 소척도에서도 유의한 감소를 보였으며, 이 감소들은 치료 초기부터 나타나서 8주간 지속되었다. 43.8%의 피험자가 중등도 이상의 우울증상을 같이 지니고 있었으며, 올란자핀에 의해 MADRS와 HAM-A가 유의하게 감소하였다. 치료 기간 동안에 활력징후에는 뚜렷한 변화가 없었으나 체중은 8주간 지속적으로 증가하였다. SAS와 AIMS는 감소하였으며, 정좌불능증을 제외한 나머지 추체외로 증상의 발생비율도 낮았다. 임상적인 증상이나 징후를 동반하지 않는 ALT/SGPT의 상승을 보였지만 프로락틴을 포함하는 대부분의 혈액 검사상 뚜렷한 이상 변화는 없었다. 결 론 ; 비록 본 임상연구가 비대조 개방 임상연구로서 많은 제한점을 가지고 있지만, 올란자핀이 기존 약물에 내약성을 보이거나 기분증상을 동반하는 정신병에 치료 효과가 있었다. 그리고 기존 항정신병약물 치료시에 문제가 되었던 추체외로 증상과 고프르로락틴 혈증을 포함하는 대부분의 부작용면에서 안전성을 보여 주었다. Objective : This multicenter clinical trial was carried out to investigate the efficacy and the safety of olanzpine for the treatment of Korean patients. Mothod : 105 patients with schizophrenia and schizophreniform disorder, visited at 10 mental or university hospitals, had received an open and non-comparative treatment with olanzapine for 8 weeks. Patients had psychotic or depressive symptoms with the severity above moderate degree or intolerable side effects to previous antipsychotics. After a wash-out period of 2-7 days, 10mg olanzapine was prescribed initially to all the patients, and then the dosage could be adjusted within the range of 5-20mg/day of olanzapine by 3-7 days. Results : 90(85.7%) of 105 patients completed the 8-weeks trial and the mean modal dose of olanzapine was 16.1(±4.7%)mg/day. At the end of the trial, 73 patients(69.5%) were classified as responder, which was defined as 40% or more improvement in BPRS(Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale) score comparing to baseline. There was a significant reduction in the scores of PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale)and subscales including negative symptom scores and CGI. Also weekly analysis showed that the reductions in scores were kept on for the whole period of the trial. 43.8% of all the patients had depressive symptoms at the baseline and total scores of MADRS(Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) and HAM-A(Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety) were also reduced after the trials. Vital signs revealed no clinically significant changes but continuous weight gain was observed during the treatment with olanzapine. The scores of SAS(Simpson-Angus Scale) and AIMS(Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) for assessing the EPS(extrapyramidal symptoms)and tardive dyskinesia respectively were significantly decreased and only a few patients reported EPS as adverse events. Although mild and clinically non-significant of ALT/SGPT was observed, most laboratory parameters including plasma prolactin level showed to significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : Although this trial had many limitations because it was a non-comparative and open study, olanzapine showed high efficacy on the positive, negative and depressive symptoms in schizophrenia and schizophreniform disorder.In addition to that, olanzapine showed a substantially favorable safety profile, such as low incidence of EPS and hyperprolactinemia.
