<P>Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second leading neurodegenerative disease, and is known to be induced by environmental factors or genetic mutations. Among the verified genetic mutations of PD, Parkin, isolated from the PARK2 locus, shows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern and is known to be an E3 ligase. However, the physiological target of Parkin and the molecular mechanism of Parkin-deficiency-induced PD have not been clearly demonstrated until now. It has recently been proposed that inflammation, suggesting as a causal factor for PD, is enhanced by Parkin deficiency. Thus, we examined the relationship between inflammation-related factors and Parkin. Here, we provide the evidence that Parkin suppresses inflammation and cytokine-induced cell death by promoting the proteasomal degradation of TRAF2/6 (TNF-α receptor-associated factor 2/6). Overexpression of Parkin can reduce the half-lives of TRAF2 and TRAF6, whereas si-Parkin can extend them. However, mutant Parkins did not alter the expression of TRAF2/6. Thus, loss of Parkin enhances sensitivity to TNF-α- or IL-1β-induced JNK activation and NF-κB activation. Indeed, si-Parkin-induced apoptosis is suppressed by the knockdown of TRAF6 or TRAF2. We also observed elevated expression levels of TRAF6 and a reduction of IκB in an 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced PD mouse model. Moreover, elevated expression levels or aggregation of TRAF6 were detected in approximately half of the human PD tissues (7/15 cases) and 2 cases, respectively. In addition, TRAF6 and Parkin expression levels show a reverse relationship in human PD tissues. Our results strongly suggest that the reduction of Parkin or overexpression of TRAF2/6 by chronic inflammation would be the reason for occurrence of PD.</P>

포스트가 축조된 치아를 재근관 치료하는 경우 성공적인 비외과적 재근관치료를 시행하기 위해서는 포스트 제거가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 포스트를 제거하는 방법으로는 초음파기구, Ruddle post removal system, Eaggler post remover, Masserann kit을 이용하는 방법 등 여러 가지가 소개 되고 있으나 기존의 방법들은 각 기구에 맞게 코어를 삭제해야 하는 시간과 많은 노력이 요구되며 포스트 제거시 치아나 포스트의 파절이 유발되기도 한다 그러나 최근에는 기존의 방법과는 다른 ATD automatic bridge remover를 이용해 포스트를 제거하는 새로운 방법이 소개되고 있으며 코어에 구멍을 형성하는 시간만 소요되어 비교적 빨리 제거 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 증례에서는 ATD automatic bridge remover를 이용해 주조포스트를 제거하고 성공적으로 재근관치료를 시행한 증례에 대해서 보고하고자 한다. It is common for clinicians to encounter endodontically tl·treated teeth that contain posts within their roots. If endodontic treatment is failed, these posts must be removed to facilitate successful nonsurgical retreatment. There have been many techniques such as ultrasonic instrument, Ruddle post removal system, Eggler post remover and Masserann kit developed to facilitate removal of posts from the root canal space. But these methods may be disadvantageous because long length of time required for post removal and fracture of post or teeth. In now days new post removal technique using ATD automatic bridge remover was introduced. Advantages of this method are simple and short time consuming compare to others. This article served as a successful case report of post removal using ATD automatic bridge remover.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of three dentin bonding agents on the shear bond strength, microleakage, and film thickness of resin cement for porcelain laminate veneer. Dentin & enamel surfaces were treated with three dentin bonding agents such as Scotchbond 2. All Bone 2, and Prisma Universal Bold 2 and were cemented by G-Cera cement for porcelain laminate veneer. For bond strength test, the specimens were stored in 37℃, 100% humidity for 48 hours and shear bond strength was measured with Instron testing machine (model no. 4201) at crosshead speed of 1.0mm/min. For microleakage and film thickness measurement, the specimens were stored in 37℃, 100% humidity for 7 days, thermocycled for 1000 cycles. Microleakage and film thickness of resin cement were measured with inverted metallurgical microscope(PME 311, Olympus, Japan). The results were as follows : 1. The shear bond strength of resin cement for porcelain laminate veneer to dentin was enhanced by the use of dentin bonding agent and All Bond 2 were effective in improving the shear bond strength to both enamel and dentin. 2. All Bond 2 were effective in reducing microleakage of veneers bonded to dentin, approximately to the same degree to the veneers bonded to enamel. But Prisma Universal Bond 2 and Scotchbond 2 failed to limit microleakage at the gingival margin of veneers bonded to dentin. 3. the 40% phosphoric acid in G-Cera system and the 10% phosphoric acid in All Bond 2 appeard equally effective in reducing microleakage of veneers bonded to enamel. 4. There were no significant increase in cement film thickness when using Prisma Universal Bold 2 or Scotchbond 2, but with All Bond 2 slight increase in the cement film thickness were present.

Background : Intravenous(Ⅳ) access is becoming an increasingly important part of health care today. The current drive for clinical effectiveness and cost-effective health care serves to increase the need for reliable vascular access. Venous access devices were developed to overcome problems associated with limited peripheral access and frequent venipuncture in patients with long-term therapy. Although the peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) have become popular during recent years in USA, its procedure is rare in Korea. Purpose : The goal of this study was to analyze the PICC inserted patient data by Ⅳ CNS intervention. Method : A Total of 62 PICCs were inserted into 51 patients by the Ⅳ CNS during a 10-month period form November, 14, 2002, to October 2, 2W2. Data was obtained retrospectively through chart review. Result : The patient population included 34(54.8%) men and 28(45.2%) women, with a mean age 50.6 years. The main indication for PICC placement was to access vein in poor peripheral venous status(40.3%). The mean served interval for PICC insertions was 16.7 days(range, 2~61 days). The reasons for removal were completed therapy in 18 cases(29.0%), patient death in 13 cases(21.0%), and mechanical or functional PICC problem in 10cases(16.1%). The three PICCs removed for presumed infection, and one had only positive tip cultures(0.2%). Conclusion : PICCs are rapidly growing popularity and required an extended course of Ⅳ therapy.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and liver function abnormalities in the general population in Korea. Methods: The study subjects were 5765 persons who were received questionnaire survey and health examination of national health and nutrition survey in 1998, 20-59 years in age and had no history of viral hepatitis. BMI was categorized by quartile and abnormal liver functions were defined aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >30 U/L or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >35 U/L in serum level. In order to identify the association of BMI and abnormal liver function, chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The abnormality rates of AST were 35.0% in male and 13.4% in female. The abnormality rates of ALT were 35.8% in male and 11.1% in female. After controlling for the other covariates, the multivairate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI was the significant related factor of abnormal AST (male; odds ratio=1.25; 95% confidence interval=1.15-1.36, female; odds ratio=1.14; 95% confidence interval=1.02-1.26) and abnormal ALT (male; odds ratio=1.87; 95% confidence interval=1.71-2.04, female; odds ratio=1.56; 95% confidence interval=1.38-175). Conclusions: We identify that BMI was the significant risk factor of non-viral liver disease with abnormal liver functions. A large-scale investigation will be suggested in the future to demonstrate the causal-effect issue between abnormal liver function and obesity.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between menton deviation and dental compensation in facial asymmetry. Methods: Tooth axis and distance of first molar and canine to the reference plane were investigated by cone-beam computerized tomography. The subjects consisted of 50 patients with asymmetric mandibles (male 21, female 29, mean age 24.3 years). Control groups were also assessed (male 11, female 9, mean age 25.6 years). Nine measurements (5 linear measurements and 4 angular measurements) were measured in order to evaluate the correlation between menton deviation and the linear and angular difference of first molar and canine in the deviated and none-deviated sides using the defined MPR images. The differences between deviated and non-deviated side, according to menton deviation, were statistically analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: From the result, Menton deviation was negatively correlated with mandibular first molar's angular measurement (Δ∠LM6-Mn plane (dev.-ndev.)) and positively with maxillary fist molar's angular measurement (Δ∠UM6-FH plane (dev.-ndev.)) (p < 0.01). Two angular measurements (Δ∠ LM6-Mn plane (dev.-ndev.), Δ∠UM6-FH plane (dev.-ndev.)) explained the variability in menton deviation with a significant r² value of 0.589. Conclusions: This study suggests that the tooth axis of upper and lower first molars leans towards the deviated side of Menton when there is mandibular asymmetry with Menton deviation. 본 연구는 Cone-beam CT의 MPR이미지상에서 하악골 평면에 대한 하악 제1대구치와 견치의 편위측과 비편위측의 높이와 각도차이 그리고 FH 평면에 대한 상악 제1대구치와 견치의 편위측과 비편위측의 높이와 각도차이를 계측함으로써 안면비대칭자에서 이부편위에 따른 편위측과 비편위측의 제1대구치와 견치의 높이와 협설측 경사도를 CBCT를 이용하여 분석하고 그 관련성을 알아보는 데 있다. 연구대상은 하악골의 이부편위를 동반한 안면비대칭 환자 50명(여자 29명, 남자 21명, 평균나이 24세 4개월)으로 하였다. 대조군으로 평균나이 25세 7개월인 20명(남자 11명, 여자 9명)을 분석하였다. 결과는 이부편위에 대해 FH 평면에 대한 상악 제1대구치의 편위측과 비편위측의 길이 및 각도 차이(편위측 - 비편위측)는 대조군에 대해 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 존재하였다 (p < 0.01). 비대칭군에서 상악 제1대구치 각도는 편위측이 비편위측보다 평균 8.62 ± 5.95˚ 컸다 (p < 0.01). 상악 견치의 경우에도 편위측과 비편위측의 각도차이가 평균 4.48 ± 5.05˚로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 존재하였다 (p < 0.01). 하악골 평면에 대한 하악 제1대구치의 수직 길이와 각도는 편위측과 비편위측에서 통계적으로 유의할 만한 차이가 존재하였다 (p < 0.01). 각도의 차이는 평균 -11.92 ± 5.79˚로 나타났다. 이부편위에 대한 상하악 제1대구치와 견치의 수직거리 및 각도의 Pearson 상관분석 및 회귀분석 결과, FH 평면에 대한 상악 제1대구치의 편위측과 비편위측의 각도차이(Δ∠ UM6-FH plane (dev.-ndev.))는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었고, 하악골 평면에 대한 하악 제1대구치의 편위측과 비편위측의 각도차이(Δ∠LM6-Mn plane (dev.-ndev.))는 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 이부편위를 동반한 하악골 비대칭이 존재하는 경우, 이부가 편위되는 방향으로 상하악 제1대구치의 치아장축의 각도가 변화되는 것으로 나타났다.

Background: With reports on the relation between smoking and depression appearing since 1980, it has become clear that depression is one of the psychodynamics of smoking, though there has been little or no progress made in the study of whether or not there is indeed a relation between depression and nicotine dependence. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of depression on the amount and period of smoking and nicotine dependence among university man student smokers. Method: In periodical examination between 14 and 21, May, 2003, using 170 university male. The CES-D(Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression) Scale and the FTQ(Fagerstrom Tolerance Qustionnaire) were utilized to measure the level of depression and nicotine dependency. The amount of smoking was calculated based on the number of cigarette used. Result: Results indicated that depression had something to do with amount of smoking. Nicotine dependence also was related to depression but total value was relatively low. finally the period of smoking had nothing to do with depression. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the amount of smoking of university man student smokers was very high. Both the amount of smoking and nicotine dependence were affected by levels of depression. Accordingly psychiatric nursing access such as emotional support is needed to manage depression and decrease smoking.
