Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Activity from Regenerating Liver after Partial Hepatectomy in Rats

곽춘식,--,-- 대한의생명과학회 2005 Biomedical Science Letters Vol.11 No.1

The change of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) activity during regeneration of rat liver was studied. Cytosolic, mitochondrial and microsomal COMTs activities were estimated in regenerating rat livers over a period of ten days after 70% (median and left lateral lobes) partial hepatectomy. The values of Km and Vmax in the hepatic enzymes were also measured. The activities of cytosolic and microsomal COMTs in regenerating rat liver after partial hepatectomy were found to be significantly increased between the second and the third day. Whereas the mitochondrial COMT activity did not change. The Vmax values of the cytosolic and microsomal COMTs in the regenerating rat liver were significantly increased at the second day after partial hepatectomy, however, the Km values of the above hepatic enzymes did not vary in all the experimental groups. Therefore, the results suggest that the biosynthesis of COMT was increased during the regeneration of rat liver.

Objective : To assess the reasonable level of public medical service through investigation about the satisfaction level among visiting patients. Methods : Subjects were 225 in-patients at a national tuberculosis hospital. Questionnaire survey was conducted in February, 2000. Satisfaction to the admission procedure, cost, convenience facilities, nursing care and physicians services and hospital staffs' attitudes were checked. Data was analyzed by χ²-test, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression using SAS (ver 6.12). Results : Overall satisfaction level was 3.4 by Likert's 5 scale with lower level about the meal services and resting area, but higher level of the admission procedure and cost. It was higher in the lesser educated and in the cost-free group(p<0.05). Satisfaction to nursing and physician's services, facilities had the higher correlation with overall satisfaction level. In multiple regression. 'cost-free' and higher age influenced to the overall satisfaction level with R²=0.37. Conclusions : Overall satisfaction level assessed as relatively high, with the higher satisfaction in case of cost-free, as the typical public medical service. However, efforts to change up the atmosphere, and especially, the efforts to promote physician's and nursing services would be necessary to strengthening the competitiveness of public medical services.

이동건,전혜선,최수미,최정현,유진홍,신완식 대한감염학회 2004 감염과 화학요법 Vol.36 No.4

목적 : Panipenem은 일본에서 개발된 카바페넴계 항생제로 광범위한 항균력을 나타낸다고 보고되고 있지만 P. aeruginosa에 대해서는 아직 논란이 있다. 본 연구에서는 임상에서 분리된 P. aeruginosa 균주를 대상으로 사람의 약역학을 모의할 수 있는 시험관내 역동 모델을 이용하여 panipenem (PAPM)과 imipenem (IMPM)의 효과를 비교하고 Muller-Hinton broth (MHB)와 basic amino acid 함량이 적은 배지(Minimum Broth Davis, MBD)에 효과의 차이가 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 혈액에서 분리된 P. aeruginosa SGP14 균주를 대상으로 하였다. 사람의 약동학을 모의할 수 있는 2-구획 인공 모세혈관 모델(two-compartment model)을 제작하였고, 세균이 peripheral compartment에서 반감기에 따라 농도가 변하고 있는 항생제에 노출되고, 접종한 세균의 수는 희석되지 않게 하였다. PAPM과 IMPM의 용량은 500mg씩 하루 2회를 모의하도록 하였고 2일간 실험하였다. Panipenem, imipenem의 반감기는 사람의 약역학과 같이 10시간에 맞추었다. 항생제 투여 간격은 panipenem, imipenem 모두 12시간으로 하였고 각 항생제의 최고 및 최저농도는 사람에 투여했을 때의 혈중농도에 맞추었다(panipenem 각각 45.6, 0 ug/mL, imipenem 각각 33.0, 0 ug/mL). 배지는 MHB와 MBD를 사용하였고 4군으로 나누어 실험하였다. [PAPM (MHB), PAPM (MBD), IMPM (MHB), IMPM (MBD)] peripheral compartment에서 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 32, 48시간에 맞춰 샘플을 하였고 집락수 (cfu/mL)를 측정하였다. 결과 : SGP14에 대한 PMPM, IMPM의 MIC는 각각 64, 2 ug/mL이었다. PAPM (MHB)는 2시간이 지나면서 다시 자라기 시작하여 32시간째부터는 항생제를 사용하지 않은 대조군과 같은 곡선을 보였다. 12시간까지의 집락수 변화는 4가지 실험군에서 군간 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았지만(P=0073) 군내의 PAPM (MHB)가 PAPM(MBD), IMPM (MBD)와 비교하여 집락수 변화가 유의하게 작았다. 또한 48시간까지의 집락수 변화는 PAPM(MBD)이 가장 많았고, 그 다음이 IMPM (MHB), IMPM(MBD)였으며, PAPM(MHB) 순이었다(P=000). 48시간까지 집락수 변화는 IMPM (MHB)와 IMPM (MBD)사이에 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 사람의 혈청내 basic amino acid 농도와 PAPM의 농도를 모의하도록 한 2-구획 인공 모세혈관 모델에서 PAPM은 IMPM과 비교하여 P. aeruginosa에 대해 비슷하거나(12시간째) 더 나은 살균력을 보였다(48시간째). 추후 본 실험의 결과와 실제 임상에서의 P. aeruginosa에 대한 panipenem의 효과를 비교해보는 것이 필요하겠다. Background : Panipenem (PAPM) is a new carbapenem which has an enhanced broad spectrum activity against both gram-positive and negative organisms. However, its activities in vitro against Pseudomonas aeruginosa are still under controversy. The aim of this study was to compare the activity of PAPM with those of imipenem (IMPM) against clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa using in vitro kinetic model and to evaluate the differences according to the quantity of basic amino acid in media. Materials and methods : Using a clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa (SGP14) from blood, an in vitro 2-compartment artificial capillary model based on a dialyzer unit was prepared. Antibiotics were given as a bolus q12 hrs for 48 hrs. Simulated doses and frequencies of PAPM and IMPM were 500 mg q12 hrs as approved by Korea Food and Drug Administration. Muller-Hinton broth (MHB) and minimal broth Davis (MBD) were used as culture media and we divided the experiments into 4 groups [PAPM (MHB), PAPM (MBD), IMPM (MHB), IMPM (MBD)]. At 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 32, and 48 h, samples were removed from peripheral compartment and viable bacterial counts were measured. Results : The susceptibility of PAPM and IMPM for SGP14 were 64 and 2 ug/mL in MHB and 4 and 2 ug/mL in MBD, respectively. Up until 12 hours, changes in bacterial colony counts were not significantly different (P=0.073) for each group. However among the four groups, PAPM (MHB) showed the least changes compared with PMPM (MBD), IMPM (MBD). The largest decrement of colony during 48 hours was observed with PMPM (MBD), followed by IMPM (MHB) or IMPM (MBD), and PAPM (MHB) in decreasing order (P=0.00). There were no differences between IMPM (MHB) and IMPM (MBD) as for the change in colony counts. Conclusions : The bactericidal activities of panipenem against the clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa was similar (at 12 h) or superior (at 48 h) to that of imipenem in an in vitro 2-compartment artificial capillary model using minimal broth to simulate human serum drug concentrations.

허지안,전혜선,박선희,최수미,김시현,이동건,최정현,유진홍,신완식 대한감염학회 2006 감염과 화학요법 Vol.38 No.6

배경 : Penicillin 내성 폐렴알균이 증가하는 지역에서 대안 중의 하나로 사용되는 ceftriaxone (CTR)의 적절한 용법, 용량을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 임상에서 분리된 폐렴알균을 대상으로 시험관내 약역학 감염모델을 이용하여 알부민이 첨가된 경우와 첨가되지 않은 경우 CTR의 일일 1회 요법의 효과를 비교해 보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : Penicillin 감수성(SM24), 중간내성(SM47), 내성(SM60)주를 대상으로 2-구획 시험관내 약역학 감염모델을 적용하였다. CTR 주입은 2 g씩 24시간마다로 사람의 약동학을 모의하였다. 알부민은 모델에서 4g/ dL가 유지되도록 하였다. 살균효과는 0, 2, 4, 6, 24, 30, 48시간째 집락수 변화로 측정하였다. 결과 : 모든 균주에서 알부민이 첨가되지 않은 경우 6시간 이내에 살균력이 관찰되었다. 최저억제농도 및 알부민 첨가유무에 관계없이 3주 모두 24시간째 살균력이 관찰되었고, 48시간째는 모두 측정한계 이하의 집락수로 감소하였다. 전 실험과정에서 CTR에 대한 내성주는 출현하지 않았다. 결론 : CTR의 일일 1회 요법은 알부민이 첨가되었을 때, 감수성, 중간내성, 내성주 모두에서 살균력 발현이 지연되었으나 최종효과는 알부민이 없을 때와 다르지 않았다. 앞으로 알부민 결합효과와 관련된 기초적인 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Background : During the era of increasing penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, it is important to have knowledge about adequate dosage and dosing interval of ceftriaxone (CTR). We examined efficacies of once-daily CTR and compared results in an in vitro pharmacodynamic infection model (IVPDIM) supplemented with albumin and those without albumin. Methods : Using three clinically isolated S. pneumoniae that were susceptible (SM24), intermediate (SM47) and resistant (SM60) against CTR, we utilized a two-compartment IVPDIM. CTR 2 g was administered intravenously every 24 h. Human albumin was added with concentration of 4 g/dL. Samples were removed at multiple time points over a 48-h period to determine the colony counts. Results : In SM24 and SM60, bactericidal effects were observed within 6 hours in groups without albumin. The number of colonies during 1st 6 hours were more decreased in albumin-free groups than in albumin-supplemented groups (P<0.05). In SM47, similar results were found during 1st 6 hours (P=0.03). But, regrowth was observed in albumin supplemented group at 30 h. Irrespective of results of minimal inhibitory concentrations and albumin supplementation, bactericidal effects were shown at 24 h in all 3 strains. All groups were decreased below the detection limit at 48 h. Development of resistance was not detected throughout the entire study period in either strain. Conclusions : Although extents of killing in albumin supplemented broth of once-daily CTR dosing were delayed in all 3 strains compared with those of albumin free broth, final efficacies were not different between the two groups.

Severe haze, mist, and fog phenomena occurred in the central part of Korea during 15~25 May 2003 resulted in poor visibility and air quality. When these phenomena occurred, Korean peninsula was under the effects of anticyclone. The atmosphere was stable, and wind speed was so weak. Under this meteorological conditions, air quality was worse and worse. The characteristics of aerosol in Seoul, Incheon, and Gosan (Jeju) during this period are investigated from the PM_(10). TSP concentrations and aerosol number concentrations. Concentrations of PM_(10) and TSP measured at KMA increased upto 176 and 230㎍/㎥ on 22 May 2003, respectively. Aerosol number concentrations of size range from 0.82 to 6.06 ㎛ increased in Seoul on 17, 19, and 21~24 May 2003, and the concentrations of NO₂ and SO₂had maximum value of 0.165 ppm at Gwanak Mt. and 0.036 ppm at Guro-dong on 23 May 2003, respectively. Result from analysis on heavy metal elements showed high concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Cd during 20~24 May 2003. This event is examined by comprehensive analyses of synoptic weather conditions, satellite images, concentrations of suspended particles and air pollutants, and heavy metal elements.

이동건,전혜선,임동석,최수미,최정현,유진홍,신완식,강문원 대한감염학회 2003 감염과 화학요법 Vol.35 No.3

목적 : Methicillin 내성 포도구균(methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA)은 병원감염의 중요한 원인균으로 vancomycin이 선택약제이다. 그러나 심내막염 등의 중증감염에서는 vancomycin의 치료실패와 함께 최근 내성균도 증가하고 있어 vancomycin을 대체할 수 있는 항균제와 보다 효과적인 항균요법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 사람의 환경과 유사한 시험관내 감염 모델을 적용하여 MRSA 치료를 위한 vancomycin, arbekacin, gentamicin의 단독 및 병합효과를 비교하였다. 방법 : 임상에서 분리된 MRSA 2균주(GRI 53, gentamicin 내성 : GS171, gentamicin 감수성)로 fibrin clot을 제작하여 시험관내 심내막염 모델을 만들어 vancomycin, arbekacin, gentamicin을 단독 혹은 병합주입하였다. 반감기와 최고 및 최저농도는 사람의 약동학을 기준으로 하였다. Vancomycin은 6, 12, 24시간마다 주입하거나 24시간 연속주입하였고 arbekacin은 12, 24시간마다, gentamicin은 8, 24시간마다 주입하였다. 병합주입의 경우 vancomycin은 12시간마다, gentamicin, arbekacin은 24시간마다 투여하였다. 각 투여군의 살균효과는 0, 8, 24, 32, 48, 72시간째의 fibrin clot내 집락수로 측정하였다. 결과 : GRI153에 gentamicin을 주입한 군 이외의 모든 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 의미있게 fibrin clot내 집락수가 감소하였다(P<0.001). Vancomycin과 arbekacin 단독주입군내서 8시간째의 집락수는 GRI153보다 GS171에서 의미있게 낮았고(P=0.02), GS171에 arbekacin 12시간마다 투여한 군의 집락수가 가장 낮았다(P=0.01). 72시간째 집락수는 균주의 종류나 vancomycin 혹은 arbekacin의 투여간격에 따른 차이가 없었다. GRI153에서 vancomycin과 arbekacin의 병합주입군은 24시간까지 상가작용이 있었으나 vancomycin과 gentamicin 병합주입에서는 무관작용이었고 GS171에서도 72시간 동안 무관작용을 보였다. 또한 전 실험기간 동안 내성균은 발현되지 않았다. 결론 : 시험관내 심내막염 모델에서 MRSA에 대한 arbekacin의 항균력은 vancomycin과 유사하여 단독주입이 가능함을 시사한다. Gentamicin 내성균주의 경우 두가지 항균제의 병합주입으로 24시간까지 상가작용을 보이고 있으나 임상에 적용하기 위해서는 추가연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Background : Glycopeptide has been used for the one-and-only treatment of choice in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, but its exclusive use for the MRSA infection has led to the increased risk of glycopeptide-resistance. To find an alternative (s), we employed an in vitro infective endocarditis model (IVIEM) to compare the efficacy of vancomycin (VCM). arbekacin (ABK), and gentamicin (GM) alone or in combination. Methods : Using two strains of clinically isolated MRSA, one GM susceptible (GS171) and the other GM resistant (GR153), fibrin clots were prepared and suspended in IVIEM. Antibiotics were added as a bolus to simulate human pharmacokinetics of regimens, including q 6 h, q 12 h, q 24 h, or continuous infusion with VCM, q 12h or q 24 h with ABK, and q 8 h or q 24 h with GM. In cases of combination, regimens were VCM q 12 h plus ABK q 24 h, and VCM q 12 h plus GM q 24 h. Fibrin clots were removed from each model at 0, 8, 24, 32, 48. and 72 h, and the bacterial densities (in CFU/g) were determined. Results : At 8 hour, the colony counts of GS171 were lower than those of GR153 (P=0.02), and the lowest with the ABK q12h against GS171 (P=0.01). At 72 hour, monotherapy with ABK or VCM produced same degree of bacterial reductions in IVIEM, regardless of dosing frequency or GM-resistance. In the case of GM-resistance, combination of VCM and ABK did show additive effect until 24 hours, although VCM and GM showed no indifference during all the experiments. Development of resistance during experiment was not observed with any regimens. Conclusions : Our data suggest that ABK monotherapy could be used as an alternative to VCM even in the treatment of GM-resistant staphylococcal endocarditis. Further studies will clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the additive effect of VCM and ABK.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education program developed for nutritionally imbalanced adolescents. A summer nutrition camp was held for 23 overweight and 16 underweight subjects. Its effectiveness with regard to was evaluated at the end of the camp and 6 months later. Nutrition knowledge, nutritional attitude, food behavior, nutrient intake, exercise habit and ideal body figures desired by the subjects. The results showed significantly higher nutrition knowledge scores at the end of the camp as compared to those obtained prior to the camp program, and these scores were maintained for at least six months. Nutrition attitude scores also improved after the education program, and these improved scores also lasted for 6 months. However, the food behavior scores measured 6 months after the education program were not significantly different from those obtained prior to the camp. Also, the exercise habit, the ideal body figures and the body figures desired by the subjects remained unchanged. When nutrient intakes of subjects were assessed before the program and 6 months later, the mean daily vitamin C intake was significantly increased after the education program. Also, the intake of iron from plant food sources increased in the overweight subjects, while less iron from animal source were consumed by the underweight subjects. Both groups tended to consume more vegetables and fruits 6 months after the education program which may have contribute to the higher vitamin C and plant-based iron intakes. These results indicate that a 4-day nutrition education camp program sustained changes in nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude for 6 months. The increased intake of vegetables and fruits was also achieved through this education program. However, changes in dietary behavior in adolescents may require repeated education.

Background : Diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesion by conventional bronchoscopy is still challenging. The sheathed bronchial brush has been used to collect samples from the visible endobronchial lesion. Recently developed endobronchial ultrsonography (EBUS). can obtain image of peripheral pulmonary lesion at bronchus suspected by bleeding sign of sheathed brush. This study evaluated availibility of detected lesions by bleeding after bronchial brushing in pheripehal pulmonary lesions before transbronchial lung biopsy Methods : Between August 2006 and November 2008, 50 patients(38 men and 12 women, median age, 65 yrs) whose peripheral pulmonary lesions could not be detected with flexible bronchoscopy were included in this study. Among 50 patients, 40 cases were malignant lesion(non-small cell carcinoma 35, small cell carcinoma 5), and 10 cases were benign lesions(inflammatory disease 7, others 3) Results : Of the 50 patients, lesions detected bleeding after bronchial brushing was 34 cases(68%) and lesions detected by EBUS was 33 cases(66%). Sensitivity was 90.0-95.4%, Specificity was 83.3-80%, Positive predictive value(PPV) was 83.3-95.4% and Negative predictive value(NPV) was 80-90.9%. Diagnostic rates in visualized lesion by EBUS and otal peripheral lesions were 75%(25/33), 58%(29/50) respectively. There was no significant complication related with bronchial brushing. Conclusions : Bleeding sign by bronchial brushing was safe and effective method to predict location of peripheral pulmonary lesion with sufficient diagnostic yield

이동건,김명신,강진한,전혜선,최수미,위성헌,김상일,최정현,유진홍,신완식,강문원 대한감염학회 2003 감염과 화학요법 Vol.35 No.2

목적 : Panipenem은 일본에서 개발된 카바페넴계 항생제로 그람양성균, 그람음성균, 혐기균에 이르기까지 광범위한 항균력을 나타낸다고 보고되고 있지만 국내에서 분리되는 균주에 대한 감수성 검사결과는 아직 없다. 본 연구에서는 임상에서 분리된 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae 균주를 대상으로 carbapenem 계열 및 몇 가지 항생제와 감수성을 비교하고, 특히 P. aeruginosa의 경우 carbapenem의 효과를 Muller-Hinton agar (MHA)가 반감시킬 수 있는 특성을 고려하여 감수성에 변화가 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 : 2002년 3월부터 6월까지 가톨릭대학교 성모병원, 강남성모병원, 성가병원, 성모자애병원, 성빈센트병원에서 분리된 임상균주 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae를 대상으로 하였다. 항생제 감수성 검사는 NCCLS 기준에 따랐고 P. aeruginosa의 경우 MHA 이외에 minimal agar Davis (MAD)를 추가로 사용하였다. 감수성 결과 해석시 panipenem은 imipenem과 같은 기준을 적용하였다. 결과 : E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa는 각각 100균주였고, S. penumoniae는 134균주였다(PSSP 41, PNSP 93균주). E. coli, K. pneumoniae는 모든 균주가 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대해 감수성을 보였다. P. aeruginosa의 경우 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem, ceftazidime의 MIC_(90)은 각각 16, 8, 32, 64㎍/mL이었다. MHA와 MAD 배지를 이용하여 P. aeruginosa에 대한 항생제 감수성을 비교해 본 결과 imipenem, panipenem의 MIC_(90)가 각각 16, 32㎍/mL에서 8㎍/mL로 감소하였고, imipenem에 비해 panipenem이 더 많이 감소하였다. S. pneumoniae의 경우 PSSP는 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대해 모두 내성이 없었고 PNSP는 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대한 MIC_(90)가 각각 1, 2, 0.25㎍/mL이었다. 결론 : 결론적으로 panipenem은 E. coli, K. pneumoniae에 대해 기존의 카바페넴계 항생제와 유사한 우수한 항균력을 보였다. P. aeruginosa의 경우 ceftazidime, imipenem과 비슷한 항균력을 보였고 아미노산 함량이 적은 배지를 사용함에 따라 MIC가 낮아졌으며 imipenem보다 더 많은 영향을 받았다. S. pneumoniae의 경우 특히 PNSP에서 기존의 카바페넴계 항생제보다 우수한 항균력을 보였다. Panipenem은 주요 그람음성균 및 폐렴연쇄구균 감염에 유용할 것으로 기대된다. Background : Panipenern (PAPM) is a new carbapenern which has an enhanced broad spectrum against both gram-positive and negative organisms. The aim of study was to compare the activities of PAPM with those of imipenern (IMPM), meropenern (MRPM) against several clinical isolates in Korea. Methods : We tested the in vitro antimicrobial activities of PAPM, IMPM, and MRPM against total 300 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 134 Streptococcus pneumoniae collected from 5 different university hospitals. Using NCCLS guidelines, MICs of PAPM, IMPM, MRPM, and/or ceftazidime were determined. Results : All isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae were susceptible to PAPM, IMPM and MRPM. MIG_(90) of PAPM, IMPM, and MRPM against P. aeruginosa were 32, 16, and 8 ㎍/mL, respectively. Comparing Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) and minimal agar Davis (MAD), the MIG_(go) of PAPM and IMPM were reduced from 16 and 32 ㎍/mL to 8 and 8 ㎍/mL, respectively. PAPM was more influenced by MAD than IMPM. All isolates of penicillin susceptible S. pneumoniae showed 0% of resistance to the carbapenems tested. MIC_(90) of PAPM, IMPM and PRPM against penicillin non-susceptible S. pneumoniae were 0.25, 1 and 2 ㎍/mL, respectively. Conclusion : Panipenern could be one of the potentially useful drugs for the treatment of infections caused by E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and S. pneumoniae. We also showed that PAPM had good anti-pseudomonal activity when examined in MAD, the amino acid-limited media. Therefore, it could be useful for the treatment of infections caused by P. aeruginosa.

Objectives: This paper aims to describe an outcome-based curriculum development process at a medical school that has difficulty in advancement from the higher stage outcomes to the individual lesson outcomes, and to propose a way to implement it practically. Methods: We reviewed the objectives, strategies and previous products of the school’s taskforce activities and suggested the principle of bidirectional approaches of outcome based curriculum development. Results: The developing strategy identified such as firstly, the evaluation of present curriculum and then, the review of the outcomes developed previously with considering the nation-wide environmental change in medical education. Then, we selected one example course which was focused the resources of the school to, and finally the product of the example course was propagated to the other courses with central monitoring. Conclusion: Bidirectional model of ‘Top-down’ plus ‘Bottom-up’ approaches could be an efficient way to develop the outcome-based curriculum in a medical school, which has difficulties to advance the developing process due to various reasons including limited resources.
