Saltol is one of the most well-known quantitative loci (QTLs) for salinity tolerance in rice. It has been used to develop highly tolerant rice varieties in saline and coastal areas in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa. However, the functional activity of Saltol is not well known, and the molecular marker application of readily developed linked markers in Saltol has not always been successful in the rice breeding programs for salinity tolerance improvement. Interestingly, two BC₂F₉ sister backcrossed inbred lines (BILs), which have been developed by marker-assisted backcrossing utilized the linked markers of Saltol to improve the salinity tolerance of MS11 (a temperate japonica growing in tropical condition). The BILs showed very different phenotypic and stress tolerance, although both contained the Saltol QTL. The genomic similarity of the two BILs was 73%, and we have identified the genomic sites of different genic constitutions between the lines utilizing background genotyping. The stress response of the two BILs showed difference in survival rate, grain yield under highly saline field condition, and SPAD, SES in hydroponic conditions. MS11-SaltolA showed salinity tolerance through Na⁺/K⁺ homeostasis with relatively high K⁺ ion uptake and low Na⁺ ion uptake in the seedling stage. Further genomic analyses with whole genome resequencing is ongoing to study on gene interactions. The developed highly tolerant MS11-SaltolA can be used as an improved donor in rice molecular breeding for high salinity tolerance.

신주연,홍윤철,임종한,박신구,이지나,김환철 大韓産業醫學會 2004 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.16 No.2

배경 : 로즈목(rosewoods) 중 볼리비아 로즈목(Machaerium Scleroxyon)은 강력한 감작물질을 함유하고 있어서 외국에서는 이로 인한 자극 또는 알레르기 접촉피부염의 발생이 증가하고 있음에도 불구하고 지금까지 우리나라에서는 볼리비아 로즈목을 비롯한 수입목재에 의한 직업성 피부질환의 보고가 부족하였고, 이에 저자들이 볼리비아 로즈목에 의한 다형홍반 양상을 보인 직업성 알레르기 접촉피부염의 증례를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다. 증례 : 49세 남자로서 여러 가지 수입목재를 절단하고, 다듬는 작업을 하다가 소양감을 동반한 홍반성의 피부 증상이 발현되었고, 전신으로 증상부위가 확대되어 2주 동안 병원 입원 치료를 하게 되었으며, 이후 본원 산업의학과에서 피부첩포 검사 후 최종적으로 볼리비아 로즈목에 의한 알레르기 접촉피부염으로 확진되었다. 결론 : 수입목재들로 인한 직업성 피부질환 발생에 대한 광범위한 실테 조사가 필요하며, 이를 토대로 작업장에서의 직업성 피부질환의 발생을 감소시키기 위한 다각적인 예방, 관리 대책의 수립이 필요하다. Background: Woods are capable of causing allergic or irritant contact dermatitis which typically occurs on exposed areas. Because Bolivian rosewood exclusively contains the strong sensitizer R-3,4-dimethoxdalbergione, an increasing number of cases of initant and allergic contact dermatitis has been reported. Case report: A 49-year-old, male, wood worker, who handled a variety of woods, developed allergic contact dermatitis. A patch test confirmed a positive reaction to one of the exotic woods, Bolivian rosewood. Allergens found in Bolivian rosewood caused this patient's dermatitis, which cleared when he avoided &is wood. Conclusion: Exotic woods such as Bolivian rosewood can induce occupaiional contact dermatitis. Measures to lower the incidence of work-related dermatitis are needed in the workplace. Especially, when cutting or sanding woods, workers should wear proper personal protection.

혈중 감마지티피 상승의 임상적 의의

신주연,김용규,박신구,이지나,김환철,임종한,홍윤철 大韓産業醫學會 2005 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.17 No.1

목적: 혈중 감마지티피는 주로 알코올 섭취와 간세포 손상의 지표로서 이용되어져 왔으나 최근에는 혈중 감마지티피가 체내의 산소성 스트레스를 민감하게 반영하는 지표이며, 혈중 감미지티피를 이용하여 만성질환의 발생을 조기에 예측할 수 있다는 주장들이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일반 인구 집단을 대상으로 한 건강검진 자료를 분석하여 혈중 감마지티피의 상승에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하고 혈중 감마지티피와 산소성 스트레스와의 관련성 및 임상적인 이용 가능성을 알아보고자 한다. 방법: 2001년부터 2003년까지 한 대학병원 산업의학과에서 건강검진을 실시한 15,546명을 대상으로 하였고 신체계측, 혈액검사 그리고 설문지의 정보를 분석하였다. 총 15,546명 중 남성은 9,660명 이었고 여성은 5,886명 이었다. 연령, 성별, 체질량지수, 흡연, 음주, 운동량 비타민 복용 여부에 따른 혈중 감마지티피의 평균을 분석하였고, 성별에 따른 다변량 분석을 실시하였다. 다변량 분석에는 연령, 체질량지수, 음주빈도, 흡연량, 혈색소, 이완기혈압, 공복시혈당, 총콜레스테롤, ALT를 포함하였다. 결과: 연구 대상자들의 혈중 감마지티피의 평균은 남성에서 평균(±2SD)이 47.51(±111.62)이었고, 여성에서는 19.09(±42.02) 으로서, 대체적으로 정상 범위에 있다고 보여 지나 개인차가 상당히 크다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 다변량 분석의 결과에서는 혈중 감마지티피의 상승에 영향을 미치는 요인이 성별에 따라 다소 달랐으나 남녀 모두에게 연령, 음주빈도, 흡연량, 이완기혈압, 공복시혈당, 총콜레스테롤, ALT가 유의한 영향이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 다변량 로지스틱회귀분석의 결과에서 '임상적 비정상'을 예측함에 있어 혈중 감마지티피가 진단적 유용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 결론: 긴존에 일반적으로 알려져 있는 것처럼 혈중 감마지티피를 단순히 알코올 섭취와 간세포 손상의 지표로서만 볼 수 없으며, 성별, 연령, 흡연, 고지혈증, 당뇨, 고혈압 등 많은 다른 요인들에 의해서 영향을 받으며, 혈중 감마지티피를 산소성 스트레스를 반영하는 생물학적 지표로 해석할 수도 있다. 따라서 혈중 감마지티피의 상승을 임상적으로 해석할 때는 (비록 정상인 범위에 있다하더라도), 알코올 섭취나 간세포 손상 뿐 아니라 다른 여러 요인들을 함께 고려해야 한다. 더욱이 혈중 감미지티피의 상승을 만성질환 즉, 고혈압, 당뇨, 고지혈증 등의 발생을 조기에 발견할 수 있는 지표로서 임상영역이나 건강검진시 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것이다. Objectives: Incresed gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) concentration has mainly been used as a biologic marker of alcohol drinking and liver diseases. However, some recent reports have suggested that serum GGT concentration may be an early biomarker of oxidative stress and associated with chronic diseases like hypertension, DM, hyperlipidemia, CHD, stroke etc. In this study, we analysed the factors associated with increased serum GGT level and evaluated the clinical application of serum GGT in predicting the risk of chronic diseases. Methods: The data were collected from 15,546 periodic health examinations, 9,660 males and 5,886 females, done at one university hospital from 2001 to 2003. We analysed self-questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory data. Statistical analyses(t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis and logistic regression analysis) were done by SPSS for windows 10.0. Results: Mean serum GGT levels were quite different according to age, sex, BMI, smoking and alcohol drinking (all P-value <0.001), but were not different by regular vitamin intake or not (P-value = 0.117). There was significant correlation between serum GGT level and the variables (of age, BMI, blood pressure, Hb, fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, AST and ALT) (all P-value <0.001). In sex-specific multiple regression analysis, increased serum GGT level was significantly associated with age, alcohol drinking, smoking, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar and ALT in males (all P-value <0.001), and with age, alcohol drinking, smoking, Hb, blood pressure, total cholesterol and ALT in females (all P-value <0.05). In sex-specific logistic regression analysis, increased serum GGT level was significantly associated with risk of 'clinical abnormalities'. This risk increased about 13-fold in males and 4.6-fold in females for serum GGT level over the third quatile, compared with under the first quartile. Conclusions: Serum GGT level is increased not only by alcohol drinking or liver diseases, but also by many other factors associated with chronic diseases and behavioral factors. Thus many factors should be considered in evaluating an increase in GGT level, even when within the upper normal range. Serum GGT level may be a predictor for the early development of chronic diseases.

The chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the most common disease in the otologic field. And the works on bacterial distribution of chronic suppurative otitis media were studied by many otologist, but there is some difference. The bacteriologic study was done on 126 cases of chronic suppurative otitis media who visited the Department of Otolaryngology, Chosun University Hospital between January 1989 and December 1989 and the following conclusions were obtained. 1) In sex distribution, the male had higher incidence rate than female (M: 56.3%, F:43.7%). 2) In age distribution, 3rd decade (34.1%), 2nd decade (34.1%), were most prevalent. 3) In duration of the disease, the hightest frequence was below 5 years duration 4) Among 126 cases, 98 cases(77.8%) were unilateral (right ear was 47 cases(37.3%) and left ear was 51 cases(40.5%))and 28 cases(22.2%) were bilateral. 5) The 136 cases(88.3%) showed the positive results under culture, but 18 cases(11.7%) didn't growthed. Among 136 cases 95 cases(61.7%) had single infection and the 41 cases(26.6%) had mixed infection. 6) The most frequently isolated bacteria was staphylococcus(38 strains, 27.9%) and next were proteus(27 strains, 19.9%) and pseudomonas (22 strains, 16.2%). 7) The Staphylococcus was sensitive to cephalothin(94.7%), amikacin(78.9%) and resistant to penicaIin(63.2%). 8) The Proteus was sensitive to amikacin(92.6%), cephalothin(88.9%) and resistant to minocycline(81.5%) and gentamicin(70.4%). 9) The Pseudomonas was sensitive to amikadn(86.4%), gemtamicin(59.1%) and resistant to minocycline(90.9%), ampicillin(86.4%) and cephalothin(86.4%).

Heat stroke is a life-threatening illness characterized by an elevated core body temperature that rises above 40% and central nervous system dysfunctions that results in delirium, convulsions, or coma. Heat stroke is subdivided into two forms, classic and exertional. Since strenuous exercise is one of the major exacerbating and precipitating factors, the incidence of exertional heat stroke is high among young adult, especially military personnel undergoing military training. Exertional heat stroke commonly causes rhabdomyolysis, lactic acidosis, acute renal failure, shock and pulmonary edema. We report a case of heat stroke with rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy(DIC) after strenuous exercise. A 18 year old man was admitted to the hospital because of loss of consciousness. He was a wrestler and he had tried to lose 6kg in weight by jogging and strenuous exercise on that summer day with hot temperature. The development of this illness was favoured by much clothes inappropriate for that environmental condition with a purpose to enhance sweating, and by restricted intake of water and food. On admission, the blood pressure was 80/50mmHg, and body temperature was 39.4℃ with stuporous mentality. Laboratory finding were as follows : in complete blood cell count, hemoglobin was 16.7g/dL and platelet count was 158,000/ mm³. In blood chemistry, AST 1061U/L, ALT 201U/L, BUN 30mg/dL, Cr 2.2mg/dL, LDH 941IU/L, CK 696IU/L were resulted. In arterial blood gas analysis, pH 7.39, pCO₂ 30mmHg pO₂ 86mmHg, HCO₃ 18.4mEq/L, O₂ saturation 96.7% were resulted. In urinalysis, specific gravity 1.025, protein 3+, erythrocyte 2+ were resulted. In brain imaging study, brain CT finding was normal. After appropriate treatments with rapid cooling, hydration and supportive care, he improved with alert mental status. On 2nd hospital day, in laboratory result, thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy were appeared and renal insufficiency was aggravated. So he was treated with platelet concentrate and fresh frosen plasma for DIC, and enough hydration for appropriate urine volume preservation. After all, On 22nd hospital day, he fully recovered and discharged. Nowadays, with followed for some duration, he is wellbeing with no complications.

Prevalence and clinical features of pneumonia in patients with laboratory-confirmed pandemic influenza A H1N1 2009 infection in South Korea

Na, Shin,Kim, Mi-Na,Kim, Won Young,Kim, Won,Hong, Sang-Bum,Lim, Chae-Man,Koh, Younsuck,Kwon, Ji-Won,Hong, Soo-Jong,Lee, Sang-Oh,Choi, Sang-Ho,Kim, Yang Soo,Woo, Jun Hee,Kim, Sung-Han Informa Healthcare 2011 Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases Vol.43 No.1

<P>During the early stages of the pandemic influenza A H1N1 2009 (pH1N1) outbreak in South Korea, the government recommended antiviral therapy with laboratory confirmation in specialized hospitals. Hence we had a unique opportunity to test all patients suspected to have pH1N1, including those who initially presented with a mild illness, such as those who were not in at-risk groups and who had an uncomplicated illness. We therefore evaluated the proportion and clinical features of pneumonia in patients with laboratory-confirmed pH1N1. Of the 3253 patients who visited Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea, between 24 August and 19 October 2009 for a suspected pH1N1 infection (temperature ≥37.5°C and at least 1 of the following symptoms: sore throat, cough, rhinorrhoea and nasal congestion), 553 (17%) were positive for pH1N1 by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Chest radiographs were performed in 96 (17%) of the 553 patients. Of the 553 patients, 30 (5%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 4-8%) had pneumonia, including 26 (86%) with viral pneumonia and 4 (14%) with bacterial pneumonia. So, the proportion of pneumonia in patients with laboratory-confirmed pH1N1 was at least 5%. Multivariate analysis indicated that dyspnoea (odds ratio (OR) 57.8, <I>p</I> < 0.001), wheezing (OR 19.3, <I>p</I> = 0.02), vomiting (OR 18.5, <I>p</I> < 0.001) and diarrhoea (OR 11.0, <I>p</I> = 0.001) were independently associated with pneumonia. Antiviral therapy at >48 h after the onset of symptoms (OR 2.1, <I>p</I> = 0.09) tended to be more common in patients with pneumonia than in those without pneumonia.</P>

Stromal cell-derived factor-1α and macrophage migration-inhibitory factor induce metastatic behavior in CXCR4-expressing colon cancer cells.

Shin, Han-Na,Moon, Hyun-Hye,Ku, Ja-Lok UNKNOWN 2012 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR MEDICINE Vol.30 No.6

<P>Metastasis of cancer cells is a major cause of death in cancer patients. The process of cancer metastasis includes the proliferation of primary cancer cells, local invasion, intravasation and cancer cell survival in blood flow, extravasation and attachment to secondary organs and metastatic growth in a new environment. In these mechanisms of cancer metastasis, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and its ligand play an important role. Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α, also known as CXCL12) is well known as a ligand of CXCR4, and macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MIF) has recently become known as a ligand of CXCR4. In many types of cancers including breast, pancreatic and colorectal cancer (CRC), CXCR4/SDF-1α has been investigated in metastasis-related cancer behavior, which include cell proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion. However, CXCR4/MIF has rarely been investigated in the metastatic behavior of colon cancer cells. In this report, the effect of SDF-1α or MIF was studied on cell cycle, cell proliferation, adhesion and migration of the CXCR4-expressing colon cancer cell line SW480. SDF-1α or MIF caused a decrease in the number of cells in G0/G1 phase and an increase in the numbers of cells in S and G2/M phases. In addition, SDF-1α or MIF caused an increase in cell proliferation, cell adhesion to fibronectin and migration. AMD3100, a CXCR4 antagonist, attenuated these effects, which included increased cell proliferation, adhesion and migration due to treatment of CXCR4-expressing colon cancer cells with SDF-1α or MIF. In conclusion, SDF-1α or MIF affects the metastasis-related behaviors of CXCR4-expressing colon cancer cells.</P>
