구강환경에 따른 Streptococcus salivarius 의 요소분해활성의 변화

목지은,박상진,최기운,최호영 대한치과보존학회 2000 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.25 No.4

Urea in the oral cavity is hydrolyzed mainly by bacterial ureases to ammonia, which in turn, raises pH of the oral environment, maintaining oral pH homeostasis, thereby inhibiting dental caries. Streptococcus salivarius has been shown to be a major contribution to oral ureolysis. Synthesis of urease by S. salivarius appears to be constitutive, but can be greatly enhanced in the acidic environment. It has been presumed that ureolytic activity of S. salivarius strains isolated from caries-active site is greater than that of strains from caries-free site. However, no in vivo study has supported the presumption. The present study was performed to observe the ureolytic activity of S. salivarius strains isolated from different environments in the same individual, finding out whether the ureolytic activity is related to dental caries. For the purpose, S. salivarius strains were isolated from caries-active site (>C2), a caries-free site of the tooth, and the dorsum of the tongue of each of 50 patients having decayed teeth. The strains isolated from the patients who harbored S. salivarius in more than two sites were selected and then their ureolytic activities were measured. In order to examine clonal diversity of the strains , their ureC genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then restricted with EcoRV, and the protein profiles of the strains were compared by SDS-PAGE. The results were as follows : 1.Of 50 patients, 13 patients harbored S. salivarius in more than two sites; a total of 61 S. salivarius strain were isolated from the patients and selected for the study. 2.Of 17 isolates from the caries-active site of 9 patients harboring S. salivarius in more than two sites including carious lesion, 10 (58.8%) showed a high ureolytic activity (> 200㎛ol/min/mg). While, 19 out of 44 isolates (43.2% ) from the caries-free site of the teeth and the dorsum of the tongues of 13 patients were the strains with a high ureolytic activity. 3.Of 9 patients harboring S. salivarius in more than two sites including caries-active site, 6 patients were found to have the strains in the caries-active site showing a lower ureolytic activity than the strains in the other sites.

폐렴 구균(Streptococcus pneumoniae)에 의한 척수 경막외 농양 1예

이지영,위유미,손경목,기현균,문치숙,오원섭,백경란,송재훈 대한감염학회 2004 감염과 화학요법 Vol.36 No.6

폐렴구균은 보통 폐렴이나 뇌막염을 일으키는 균으로 척수 경막외 농양을 일으키는 경우는 매우 드물다. 본 저자들은 폐렴 구균에 의한 척수 경막 외 농양을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다. 과거 건강했던 36세 남자 환자로 사다리에서 낙상한 후 요통 및 고열, 신경학적 이상으로 내원하여 자기 공명 촬영 결과 척수 경막 외 농양으로 진단받고 항균제 투여와 함께 응급 수술을 시행하였다. 농 배양 결과 페니실린 감수성인 폐렴 구균이 분리 되었고, 수술 요법과 항생제 투여 후 농양은 치유되었으나 신경학적 이상은 호전 없는 상태로 타원으로 전원되었다. Pneumonia and meningitis are the most frequent manifestations of pneumococcal infections. Pneumococcal spinal epidural abscesses have been rarely reported. Spinal epidural abscess by Streptococcus pneumoniae has been diagnosed among the patients with diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, corticosteroid therapy, intravenous drug use, chronic renal failure, AIDS, and history of spinal surgery. Recently, we experienced a case of pneumococcal spinal epidural abscess after spinal trauma. A 36-year-old male patient was admitted with back pain, fever, and paraplegia which occurred 5 days after the trauma. Spine MRI revealed spinal epidural abscess at the level from T2 to T9. He was treated with antimicrobial agents and surgical exploration for spinal epidural abscess. Pus culture grew S. pneumoniae which was susceptible to penicillin. Despite early surgical treatment, neurologic sequelae remained. Considering the high mortality and morbidity of pneumococcal spinal epidural abscess, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment including surgical intervention and antibiotics therapy should be implemented immediately.

단감의 기능성 소재 및 기호성이 우수한 부원료로서의 이용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 단감새옥를 전처리별 즉, 열처리 온도 (25℃, 75℃ 및 95℃) 에서 NaCl (0, 1, 3%) 농도별로 침적 (1, 5분) 하여 동결건조한 시료구를 대상으로 탄닌, 비타민 C, 색도 및 조직감 등을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 탄닌 성분은 열처리 온도, NaCl 농도 및 침적시간이 증가할수록 탄닌함량이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 특히, 대조구 (420 mg%) 에 비해 95℃에서 1% 및 3% NaCl 농도에 5분간 침적시 각각 228 및 198 mg%로 감소하였다. 비타민 C 함량은 대조구 (122.4 mg%)에 비해 95℃에서 3% NaCl 농도에 5분간 침적시 75.8 mg% 로 감소하였고, 색도는 열처리 온도, NaCl 농도 및 침적시간이 증가할수록 L(명도) 및 b(황색)값이 뚜렷하게 증가한 반면, a(적색도) 값은 감소하였고, ??E 값은 증가하여 처리조건이 가중될수록 색의 변화가 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 단감껍질과 전처리한 시료 (95℃, 1% NaCl, 5 분)의 flavonol 함량은 껍질에 myricetin(2.0 ㎍/g), quercetin (34. 5 ㎍/g) 및 kaemferol (1.1 ㎍/g) 성분이 검출되었고, 전처리한 시료는 myricetin (9.5 ㎍/g), quercetin (5.5 ㎍/g)이 검출되었다. 조직감은 대조구에 비해 전처리 (95℃, 1% NaCl, 5분) 한 시료에서 부서짐성, 응집성, 점성 및 씹힘성이 우수하였다. 관능검사는 95℃에서 1% NaCl에 5분 및 3% NaCl 농도에 1부간 침지한 시료가 좋은 평가를 받았다. Sweet persimmon were tested in order to identify their use as secondary material which is excellent in function and taste as food. Samples were soaked for 1 and 5 min with NaCl concentration (0, 1 and 3%) at a certain heating temperature (25, 75 and 9r℃), and then tannin, vitamin C, flavonol, color intensity, sensory test and textural properties were analyzed. The results of the analyses were as follows. Tannins were decreased as heating temperature, NaCl concentration and soaking time were increased, especially, that the control was 420 mg% but decreased 228 and 198 mg% at 95℃ (1 and 3% NaCl concentration) for 5 min, soaked in each. Vitamin C content also decreased more in higher temperature and NaCl concentration than control (122.4 mg%). Color intensity showed higher value in L and b than in heating temperature, NaCl concentration and soaked time longer remarkably, but a value decreased. The peel of sweet persimmons was analyzed myricetin (2.0 ㎍/g), quercetin (34.5 ㎍/g) and kaemperaol (1.1 ㎍/g), but in pre-treatment sample ( 95℃, 1% NaCl concentration and 5 min, soaked ) was showed higher myricetin (9.5 ㎍/g) and quercetin (5.5 ㎍/g). Textural properties were good in pre-treatment sample ( 95℃, 1% NaCl concentration and 5 min, soaked) such as brittleness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness. In sensory analysis, the pre-treatment samples (95℃, 1% NaCl concentration and 5 min, soaked and 95℃, 3% NaCl concentration and 1 min, soaked) were showed higher point than others.

BACKGROUND: Myocardial bridging is defined as embedment of a segment of the coronary artery into the myocardium so that during ventricular systole the segment of artery is compressed. The prevalance of myocardial bridges among consecutive patients coronary angiography varies between 0.5% and 16% with most studies reporting an incidence of less than 2%. Because any studies is not reported about myocardial bridging in Korea, this study was done to establish the angiographic evidence of myocardial bridging in cineangiograms performed in the cardiac laboratory of the Soonchunhang University PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the 10-years period between 1987 and 1996, selective coronary angiography was performed on 1079 patients at the Medical University of Soonchunhang Hospitals. All studies were reviewed and patients were divided into three groups on the basis of the degree of systolic compression: Mild(1-30% systolic compression). Moderate(31-50% systolic compression), and Severe(51-100% systolic compression). RESULTS: 1. 10 PATIENTS(0.93%) Were found to have myocardial bridge. and 9 patients had systolic compression of the left anterior descending coronary artery and one patient had compression of the right coronary artery. 2. Cineangiograms of all 292 "normal" patients who had symptomes suggestive of angina pectoris were reviewed and 7 patients(2.4%) were found to have myocardial bridging. 3. 4 patients had mild myocardial bridge, 1 patient had moderate, and 5 patients had severe. 4. The ECG was normal in 4 patients, showed left ventricular hypertrophy in 5 patients, and showed atrial fibrillation. Treadmill exercise test was positive in 5 patients, and non-diadnostic test due to insufficient exercise capacity was 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS: The angiographic incidence of myocardial bridges was noted was noted 0.93% and most common site is the left anterior descending artery.

A 3-year-old intact female Golden retriever dog with a history of increasing mass on the cranial surface of the left distal forelimb was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University. On the physical examination, the patient had normal gait and no pain associated with the mass. The mass was a little fluctuant and multilobulated on palpation. On fine needle aspiration cytology examination, it was revealed clear lipid droplets, few peripheral blood cells and large number of well-differentiated adipocytes. The mass was surgically removed beneath redial nerve and superficial cephalic vein. During surgical resection, there was no evidence of invasion into muscles or fascia. On the basis of histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as lipoma. There has no evidence of recurrence of lipoma for six months.

Background: Most cases of Graves' disease have been treated by antithyroid drugs in Korea. The major drawbacks of antithyroid drugs are the relative high rate of relapse and the inconvinience of long term therapy. Measurement of TBII and TRH stimulation test have been considered as the most reliable tests predicting relapse, but the predictive power is not high enough to use in clinical situation. This study was performed to find good prognostic indicators in Graves' disease patients after the discontinuation of antithyroid drug therapy. Subjects and methods : We restrospectively evaluated 96 patients with Graves' disease who showed normal TRH test at the end of antithyroid drug therapy and were followed for more than one year. Serum T3, T4, T3/T4 ratio, TBII, Anti-TPO Ab and TGAb levels were measured at the time of diagnosis and at the end of therapy. Two to three months after withdrawal of antithyroid medication, serum TSH and free T3 responses to TRH were examined. These parameters were compared between the relapse group and the remission group. Results : Among the 96 patients, 22 patients(22.9%) relapsed(Group Ⅱ) and 74 patients(77.1%) remained in remmision(Group Ⅰ). No significant difference was observed between the relapse and the remission group in clinical parameters, serum T3, T4, TSH, T3/T4 ratio, TBⅡ and Anti-TPO Ab determined before and after treatment. Serum TSH and free T3 levels measured after TRH stimulation were also similar in both groups. Serum TGAb levels determined at the end of treatment were significantly higher in the remission group(p<0.05). Relapse following the discontinuation of therapy occured within 24 months in 72.7% of the relapsed cases. After 24 months, relapse rate was reduced significantly. Conclusion : These results suggest that high serum TGAb levels could be a favorable prognostic indicator for the long term remission of Graves' disease treated with antithyroid drugs, and may suggest that Hashimoto's thyroiditis is combined with Graves' disease in those patients.
