In an effort to optimize tissue culture responses of zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) for genetic transformation, factors affecting callus induction and plant regeneration were investigated. MS medium containing 3 ㎎/L 2,4-D was optimal for embryogenic callus induction from mature seed. The plant regeneration frequency of 73.3% was observed when embryogenic calli induced in this medium were transferred to N6 medium supplemented with 0.1 ㎎/L 2,4-D and 5 ㎎/L BA. Among several basic media, MS and N6 medium were optimal for callus induction and plant regeneration, respectively. Regenerated plants were grown normally when shoots transplanted to the soil. A rapid and efficient plant regeneration system established in this study will be useful for molecular breeding of turfgrass through genetic transformation.

Backgrounds : The expression of the MDR-1(multidrug resistance)encoded P-170 glycoprotein(p-170)and CD34 have been well known to be associated with drug resistance in AML(acute myelogenous leukemia). P-170 and CD34 expression in AML have been reported as unfavorble prognostic parameters separately. Methods : P-170 glycoprotein expression was analyzed in correlation with CD34 expression and clinical response in 15 consecutive patients with de novo acute myelgenous leukemia (AML). They were measured with flow cytometry after direct and indirect immunofluorescence staining simultaneously. Results : 1) The positive rate of P-glycoprotein and CD34 were in two of 15 patients(13%), seven of 15 patients(46%), respectively. 2) One of two P-170 positive patients as compared with 7 of 13 P-170 negative patients achieved a complete remission(CR), which showed no clinical significant difference. 3) There was no significant correlation between P-glycoprotein and CD34 expression(r=0.29, p=0.28). 4) In de novo acute myelogenous leukemia, there was no case which expressed both P-170 and CD34 simultaneously. 5) P-glycoprotein and CD34 were not expressed in acute promyelocytic leukemia group. 6) Cytogenetic abnormalities did not show any significant difference in the rate of P-glycoprotein expression, CD34 expression and complete remission. Conclusion : CD34 and P-glycoprotein in acute myelogenous leukemia were independent parameter in this study. Further investigations are warranted for clinical implication.

배경: 이식편대숙주 질환은 동종골수 이식후 발생할 수 있는 가장 중요한 합병증의 하나이다. 일반적으로 이식편대숙주 질환이 서구에 비하여 한국을 비롯한 아시아 국가에서 드물다고 알려져 있다. 방법: 저자들은 1993년 12월부터 1997년 6월까지 동종골수이식을 받은 전체 44명의 환자를 대상으로 급성 및 만성 이식편대숙주 질환의 빈도와 임상 양상을 조사하여 분석하였다. 대상환자중 남자가 27명 (61%) 이었고, 여자가 17명 (39%)이었다. 중앙연령은 33.5세 (범위, 16-47세)였다. 17명은 급성골수성 백혈병, 6명은 급성림프구성백혈병, 11명은 만성골수성백혈병, 8명은 중증재생불량성빈혈, 1명은 골수이형성증후군, 그리고 나머지 1명은 신경아세포종(neuroblastoma) 환자였다. 이식편대숙주 질환 예방으로 methodtrexate와 cyclosporine복합요법을 시행하였다. 결과: 3명에서 급성 이식편대숙주 질환이 이식후 18일에서 48일 사이에 관찰되었다(빈도, 7%). 급성 이식편대숙주 질환정도는 3도, 2도 그리고 1도가 각 한명씩이었다. 4도 급성 이식편대숙주 질환은 관찰되지 않았다. 13명의 환자가 만성 이식편대숙주 질환을 경험하였다(30%). 이들 중 10예는 제한성 병변이었고 3예는 전신성 병변이었다. 만성 이식편대숙주 질환의 주된 발병 증상 또는 징후는 황달/간기능 이상(8예)과 구강점막병변(4예)이었다. 한 명의 환자가 이식 후 107일에 간 이식편대숙주 질환에 의한 간부전으로 사망하였다. 결론: 한국인 환자에서는 동종골수이식 후 급성 및 만성 이식편대숙주 질환의 빈도가 구미의 환자에 비하여 상대적으로 낮고 그 정도도 덜한 것으로 보인다. 한국인 환자에 가장 적합한 이식편대숙주 질환 예방 방법의 정립을 위한 계속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다. Background: Graft-versus-host (GVHD) disease is one of the most important complications after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Generally, it has been known that graft-versus-host disease is less frequent after allogeneic BMT in Asian countries including Korea when compared to western countries. Methods: We investigated the frequency and clinical pattern of acute and chronic GVHD in 44 consecutive patients who underwent allogeneic BMT between December 1993 and June 1997. There were 27 male (61%) and 17 female (39%) patients with median age of 33.5 years (range, 16-47). Seventeen patients had acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), 6 acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), 11 chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), 8 severe aplastic anemia (SAA), 1 myelodysplastic syndrome, and 1 neuroblastoma. Methotrexate/cyclosporine combination was given for acute GVHD prophylaxis. Results: There patients (7%) developed acute GVHD median 31 days (range, 18-48) after BMT. There were one grade 3 acute GVHD involving the liver. There was no patient with grade 4 acute GVHD. Thirteen patients (30%) developed chronic GVHD median 100 day (range, 53-266) after BMT. Ten cases were limited stage and 3 were extensive stage. Frequent initial manifestations of chronic GVHD were jaundice/liver function abnormality in 8 cases and oral mucosal lesion in 4 cases. One patient died due to liver failure which were felt to be seconday to chronic GVHD 107 days after BMT. Conclusion: Acute and chronic GVHD are less frequent in Korean patients after allogeneic BMT when compared to historical data from patients from western Europe or United States. In cases of chronic GVHD, mild forms of disease predominate. Optimal strategy for GVHD prophylaxis in Korean patients remains to be defined.

Background: Micafungin, a potent inhibitor of 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase, is a novel antifungal agent of the echinocandin class. In vitro study showed that micafungin was effective against Aspergillus species as well as Candida species, but clinical data on the prophylactic efficacy against invasive fungal infections (IFIs) other than candidiasis are still lacking. Materials and Methods: We identified 60 consecutive adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients who received at least 3 doses of micafungin during neutropenic period. Micafungin was started as an alternative in patients who were intolerant or had adverse events (AEs) to primary prophylactic antifungal agents. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and analyzed the efficacy and safety of micafungin for prophylaxis against IFIs. Results: The patients either had autologous (n=9) or allogeneic (n=51: 1 syngeneic, 24 sibling, 26 unrelated donor) HSCT. Itraconazole oral solution (n=58) was the most frequently used first line antifungal agent for prophylaxis and was administered for median 11 days. The most frequent cause of switch to micafungin was vomiting (n=42). The duration of neutropenia and micafungin administration was median 13 and 12 days, respectively. A successful outcome was achieved in 45 (75%) patients. Empirical antifungal therapy was initiated in 13 (22%) patients. There were 2 cases (3.3%) of breakthrough fungal infections which comprised a probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and a possible invasive fungal sinusitis. There was no case of invasive candidiasis. A total of 53 (88%) patients experienced at least one AE regardless of causality during micafungin administration. The most frequent AEs were hypokalemia, vomiting, diarrhea, and elevated serum aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase. Among the aforementioned AEs, only 1 case of diarrhea could be classified as a probable relation with micafungin when causality was assessed. There was no AEs that caused discontinuation of micafungin. Conclusions: Micafungin seems to be a safe and effective agent for prophylaxis of IFIs including aspergillosis as well as candidiasis in HSCT recipients. However, further large, prospective, and randomized comparative studies are warranted for aspergillosis.

정은욱,지삼룡,이영태,박지훈,김동기,제인수,채두근,박성재,박은택,이연재,이상혁,설상영,정정명 白中央醫療院 2005 仁濟醫學 Vol.26 No.1

Afferent loop syndrome is an uncommon complication of a gastrectomy and Billroth Ⅱ reconstruction. It may cause symtoms at any time from the first postoperative day to many years after the gastrectomy. Afferent loop syndrome is characterized by abdominal pain, vomiting and elevation of serum amylase. Thus, it is difficult to differentiate afferent loop syndrome from other cause of acute pancreatitis. However, the history of gastrectomy can be an important clue for diagnosing afferent loop syndrome. We experienced one case of chronic afferent loop syndrome with acute pancreatitis. After appropriate management, the abdominal pain disappeared and serum amylase level decreased. We report this case with a review of relevant literatures.

장대영,이정신,서철원,이규형,이제환,지현숙,박찬정,한면수,최동원,김정균,최성준,김성배,김상위,김우건,김상희 대한조혈모세포이식학회 1998 대한조혈모세포이식학회지 Vol.3 No.1

연구배경 : 동종 골수 이식한 백혈병에서 키메라 현상의 분석은 착상, 질병 재발과 이식 거부를 이해하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 최근 STR을 PCR로 증폭한 검사법에 의해 매우 민감하고 유용하게 혼합 키메라 현상을 검출할 수 있다고 보고되고 있으나, 이 방법의 민감도와 임상적 의의는 아직 완전히 정립되지는 않았다. 따라서 PCR-STR검사법이 혼합 키메라 현상을 민감하게 검출하는지 보고, 동종 골수 이식 후 혼합 키메라 현상의 변화 양상을 관찰하고, 키메라 현상의 임상적 의의를 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 형제로부터 동종 골수 이식한 급성 백혈병 6명과 만성 백혈병 2명의 모두 8명을 대상으로 하였다. 44개 골수 검체에서 phenol/chloroform방법에 의하여 단핵세포 DNA를 추출하였다. DNA는 CTT 삼중체, vWA와 amelogenin시발체를 이용하여 증폭하였다. 증폭 산물은 5% 폴리아크랄아미드 젤에서 전기영동 뒤 은 염색으로 확인하였다. 2명의 DNA를 여러 비율로 혼합하여 상기 검사를 하여 검출 가능 최소 농도를 결정하였다. 결과 : 상기 검사법의 검출 가능 최소농도는 0.25%였다. 혼합 키메라 현상은 8명중 4명에서 관찰되었다. 혼합 키메라 현상은 보인 1명에서 급성 및 만성 이식편대 숙주 질환이 나타났고, 완전 공여자 키메라 현상을 보인 1명에서 만성 이식편 대 숙주 질환이 나타났다. 점진적으로 증가하는 혼합 키메라 현상을 보인 2명은 이식 후 12개월에 질병 재발을 보였으나, 완전 공여자 키메라 현상을 보인 경우엔 재발이 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 : PCR-STR검사법은 동종 골수 이식 후 남아 있는 환자 세포를 검출하고 키메라 현상을 관찰하는데 유용한 방법이다. 또한 이 검사법은 동종 골수 이식 후 재발의 조기 진단, 이식편 대 숙주 질환의 평가와 면역 관용에 임상적으로 응용할 수 있으리라 생각한다. Background : Chimerism analysis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for leukemia could be helpful understanding of the early marrow engraftment, disease relapse, and graft rejection. Recently, a PCR technique which amplifies short tandem repeats(STR) has been reported to be highly sensitive and reliable in detecting mixed chimerism. But its sensitivity and clinical significance has not been established. The purpose of this study was firstly, to confirm whether a PCR-STR in highly sensitive enough ti assess mixed chimerism, secondly to monitor the changing patterns of mixed chimerism after allogeneic BMT, and lastly to determine correlation between the chimeric status and the clinical outcome. Methods : A study was made eight patients (six with acute leukemia and two with chronic leukemia) who underwent unmanipulated allogeneic BMT along with matched donors. DNA was extracted from mononuclear cells of 44 bone marrow samples using a phenol/chloroform method. Amplification of DNA was done using CSFIPO-TPOX-TH01(CTT) triplex with or without vWA or amelogenin primer. The amplified product was separated on 5% polyacrylamide gel and was confirmed by silver staining. The sensitivity of CTT triplex method was determined by mixing DNA from two person in serial proportion using the same method. Results : The sensitivity for CTT triplex method was 0.25% Mixed chimerism was documented in 4 of 8 patients. ONe of four patients with mixed chimerism developed acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) and one of four patients with complete donor chimerism also developed chronic GVHD. Two patient with progressive mixed chimerism relapsed at 12 months post-BMT, whereas no patient with complete donor chimerism has relapsed. Conclusion : The study has found that PCR-STR was an effective method for the detecting residual host cell and monitoring the chimeric status after allogenic BMT. PCR-STR can also be clinically applicable in early prediction of relapse, appropriate assessment of GVHD, as well as tolerance after allogeneic BMT.

장인진,김익상,유경상,임동석,김형기,신상구,장우현,박완제,이나경,정상보,안동호,조양제,안보영,이윤하,김영지,남성우,김현수 대한감염학회 1998 감염 Vol.30 No.3

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.

PEG 분해균주의 분리와 PEG film의 상용성에 관한 연구

이제혁,정성제,이준열,전억한 경희대학교 부설 식량자원개발연구소 1993 硏究論文集 Vol.14 No.-

PEG를 sole carbon과 energy source로서 이용하는 미생물을 자연계에서 분리하였고, PEG의 분자량이 높아질수록 그 분해 미생물의 수가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, liquid culture로서 PEG농도를 감소시키는 미생물을 선별하였고, 분해율은 PEG 8000이 약 18.8%였으며 PEG 10000은 약 25.4%인 것으로 조사되었다. PEG film의 제조를 위해 EMAA 및 EAA와의 상용성을 적외선 분광(IR) 스펙트럼을 사용하여 조사한 결과, EMAA와 EAA의 카르보닐기와 PEG의 에테르기와의 강한 수소결합이 형성으로 blend film제조시 상용성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. Several strains capable of degrading PEGs(Polyethylene Glycols)were isolated and investigated for their biodgradation ability of PEGs. Microorganisms screened for the biodegradation studies were those grown on the PEG used as a sole carbon and energy source. It was known that the number of microorganisms decreased when grown on the high molecular weight of PEG(e.g. 20,000). A liquid culture was carried out with such microorgaisms and resulted in the decrease in PEG concentration meaning that PEG was degraded in the reactor. The biodegradability was found to be about 18.8% for PEG-8000 and 25.4% for PEG-10000, respectively. For the manufacture of biodegradable PEG film, EMAA/PEG and EAA/PEG blending ability was investigated with IR spectrum and showed that it was possible to produce blending film.
