Dysplasia-associated seizure disorders are markedly resistant to pharmacological intervention. Relatively little research has been conducted studying the effects of antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) on seizure activity in a rat model of dysplasia. We have used rats exposed to methylazoxymethanol acetate(MAM) in utero, an animal model featuring nodular heterotopia, to investigate the effects of AEDs in the dysplastic brain. Pilocarpine was used to induce acute seizure in MAM-exposed and age-matched vehicle-injucted control animals. Field potential recordings were used to monitor amplitude and numbers population spikes, and paired pulse inhibition in response to stimulation of commissural pathway. Two commonly used AEDs were tested: diazepam 5, 2.5mg/kg;phenytoin 40, 60mg/kg. Diazepam(DZP) and phenytoin(PHT) reduced the amplitude of population spike in control and MAM-exposed rats. However, the amplitude of population spike was nearly eliminated in control rats as compared to the MAM-exposed rats. Pharmaco-resistance was tested by measuring seizure latencies in awake rats after pilocarpine administration(320mg/kg, i.p.) with and without pretreatment with AEDs. Pre-treatment with PHT 60 mg prolonged seizure latency in control rats, but not in MAM-exposed animals. The main findings of this study are that acute seizures initiated in MAM-exposed rats are relatively resistant to standard AEDs assessed in vivo. These data suggest that animal model with cortical dysplasia can be used to screen the effects of potential AEDs.

This study was conducted to evaluate the health related behaviors associated with blood pressure, results of liver function and renal function, and anemia indices. Study subjects were 499 male workers who visited to General Health Screening Center of A hospital located in Chonan. Data were collected from March to December 1996. By the questionnaire, the informations of health related behaviors such as, age, smoking and drinking habits, food intake habit, sleeping time, stress were obtained. Height, weight and blood pressure were measured by a trained nurse. The level of total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood sugar, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase(GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), r-glutamyl transferase(rGTP), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(Cr), hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit(Hct), hepatitis B surface antigen were selected as biometric test variables. Statistical analysis, such as t-test, Chi square-test, stepwise multiple regression, multiple logistic regression were performed using SAS package program. There were significant differences in age, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, GOT, GGT, BUN, Hb, and Hct between drinkers and non-drinkers, and significant differences in age, body mass index(BMI), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, rGTP, BUN, and Hb between smokers and non-smokers . Triglyceride, age, BMI, and HDL cholesterol were found to be positivc independent predictors of blood pressure, but drinking habit(mild drinking group vs. non-drinking group) and pack-year of smoking were negative predictors of blood pressure. Logistic analysis of systolic hypertensive related condition indicated that triglyceride(OR=1.003, 95% CI; 1.000-1.006), total cholesterol(OR=1.008, 95% CI; 1.000-1.016), and pack-years of smoking (OR=0.972, 95% CI; 0.952-0.994) were significantly contribution to dependent variable, Logistic analysis of diastolic hypertensive related condition revealed that age3(≥50 years vs. <40 years) (OR=4.702 (95% CI; 1.919-11.521), age2(40-49 years vs. <40 years) (OR=4.702 (955 CI; 1.919-11.521), triglyceride (OR=1.005, 95% CI; 1.002-1.008), pack-years of smoking(OR=0.972, 95% CI; 0.951-0.993), and meal regularity (yes vs. no) (OR=0.618, 95% CI; 0.383-0.991) were significantly contribution to dependent variable. Triglyceride, total cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, and animal food intake(yea vs. no) were found to be positive independent predictors to BMI, but HDL and stress(yes vs. no) were negative predictors. Logistic analysis of abnormal BMI condition indicated that total cholesterol(OR= 1.013, 95% CI; 1.007-1.020) and HDL cholesterol (OR=0.943, 95% CI; 0.916-0.972) were significantly contribution to dependent variable. BMI, HBs Ag, and the frequency of drinking were found to be positive independent predictors to GOT, but meal regularity(yes vs. no) were negative predictors. Logistic analysis of abnormal GOT condition indicated that HBs Ag(yes vs. no)(OR-6.666, 95% CI; 1.724-25.779), BMI(OR=1.199, 95% CI;1.015-1.416), and meal regularity(yes vs. no)(OR=0.248, 95% CI; 0.096-0.639) were significantly contribution to dependent variable. BMI, and HBs Ag were found to be positive independent predictors to GPT, but meal regularity(yes vs. no) were negative predictors. Logistic analysis of abnormal GPT condition showed that only BMI (OR=1.301, 95% CI; 1.301(1.176-1.440) was significantly contribution to dependent variable. BMI and the frequency of drinking were found to be positive independent predictors to rGTP, but meal regularity(yes vs. no) were negative predictors. Logistic analysis of abnormal rGTP conditionindicated that BMI(OR=1.340, 95% CI; 1.197-1.499), Alc5(abovc 5 times/week vs. non-drinking) (OR=21.733, 95% CI; 3.671-128.684), Alc4(3-4 times/week vs. non-drinking) (OR=4.533, 95% CI; 1.463-14.049), Alc3(1-2 times/week vs. non-drinking) (OR=3.918, 95% CI; 1.406-10.916), and meal regularity(yes vs. no) (OR=0.405, 95% CI; 0.221-0.740) were significantly contribution to dependent variable. BMI and age were found to be positive independent predictors to BUN, but stress(yes vs. no) and pack-year of smoking were negative predictors. Logistic analysis of abnormal BUN condition indicated that only age3(≥50 years vs. <40 years) (OR=4.808 (95% CI; 1.307-17.676) was significantly contribution to dependent variable. BMI was found to be positive independent predictors to Hb and Hct, respectively, but regular exercise(yes vs. no) was negative predictors to Hb and Hct, respectively. With above results, it was found that age, BMI, level of serum triglyceride, and level of serum total cholesterol were significantly associated with hypertension and that BMI was significantly associated with abnormal results of liver function tests and especially the frequency of drinking was associated with abnormal rGTP. Also the workers with meal regularity habits, compared to those with meal irregularity habits, were lower prevalence of hypertension and abnormal liver function tests, therefore the meal regularity habits seem to be reflected good health related behaviors.

PURPOSE. To analyze the stress distribution of the implant and its supporting structures through 3D finite elements analysis for implants with different hexagon heights and to make the assessment of the mechanical stability and the effect of the elements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Infinite elements modeling with CAD data was designed. The modeling was done as follows; an external connection type ∅4.0 mm×11.5 mm OsstemUSII (Osstem Co., Pusan, Korea) implant system was used, the implant was planted in the mandibular first molar region with appropriate prosthetic restoration, the hexagon (implant fixture’s external connection) height of 0.0, 0.7, 1.2, and 1.5 mm were applied. ABAQUS 6.4 (ABAQUS, Inc., Providence, USA) was used to calculate the stress value. The force distribution via color distribution on each experimental group’s implant fixture and titanium screw was studied based on the equivalent stress (von Mises stress). The maximum stress level of each element (crown, implant screw, implant fixture, cortical bone and cancellous bone) was compared. RESULTS. The hexagonal height of the implant with external connection had an influence on the stress distribution of the fixture, screw and upper prosthesis and the surrounding supporting bone. As the hexagon height increased, the stress was well distributed and there was a decrease in the maximum stress value. If the height of the hexagon reached over 1.2 mm, there was no significant influence on the stress distribution. CONCLUSION. For implants with external connections, a hexagon is vital for stress distribution. As the height of the hexagon increased, the more effective stress distribution was observed. 연구 목적: 본 연구는 hexagon 높이에 따른 임플란트 각 부위와 주위 지지조직의 응력분포를 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통해 평가하여 hexagon 높이가 기계적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 시행되었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 외측 연결 형태의∅L4.0 mm×11.5 mm USII (Osstem Co., Pusan, Korea) 임플란트 시스템을 이용하여 하악 제 1대구치 부위에 임플란트를 식립하여 보철 수복한 경우를 연구 모델로 가정하고 임플란트 고정체의 외측 연결부인 hexagon의 높이를 각각 0.0 mm, 0.7 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm로 적용한 CAD data를 유한요소 모형화하였다. ABAQUS 6.4 (ABAQUS Inc., Providence, RI, USA)를 이용하여 산출된 응력 값 중에서 등가응력을 기준으로 각 요소(상부 치관, 지대주 나사, 고정체, 치밀골, 해면골)에서 나타나는 최대 응력 값을 비교 하였다. 결과:외측 연결을 갖는 임플란트의 hexagon의 높이는 고정체, 지대주 나사, 상부 보철물 그리고 주위 지지골에 대해 응력 분산에 영향을 주었다. Hexagon의 높이가 증가할 수록 임플란트의 응력 분산은 더 잘 이루어졌으며, 최대 응력 값의 감소를 보였다. Hexagon의 높이가 1.2 mm 이상이 되면 응력 분포에 더 이상 크게 기여하지 않았다. 결론: 외측연결을 갖는 임플란트에서 hexagon은 응력 분산에 필수적인 요소이며 그 높이가 증가할수록 더욱 효과적인 응력의 분산이 나타났다.

Emphysematous cystitis is an uncommon disease in which bacterias produce gas within the bladder wall and surrounding tissue. Patients with diabetes, neurogenic bladder and chronic urinary tract infection are predisposed to the disease. It is usually caused by E.coli and Klebsiella. Severity of illness ranges from an asymtomatic condition to life threatening cystitis. Succesful management depends on early diagnosis with correction of underlying causes, administration of appropriate antibiotics, establishment of adequate bladder drainage and surgical excision of involved tissue when required. We report a case of 52-year-old woman who did not compain of symtoms of cystitis but epigastric pain, nausea, and vomitting. Emphysematous cystitis was revealed on the abdominal X-ray series incidentally. CT scans of the pelvis showed mottled gas bubble within the bladder. After treatment, the symtoms subsided and plain abdominal film showed no evidence of gas shadow in the pelvic cavity.

최태성,우극현,김진석,박완섭,함정오,정상재,유재영 대한산업의학회 2001 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.13 No.2

목적 : DMAC에 노출된 후 집단적으로 발생한 독성 간염 7례보고. 방법 : 2000년 2월 신설된 스판덱스 섬유제조 공장에 근무하는 생산직 근로자 178명중 2000년 2월 부터 8월까지 7명이 간장질환이 발생하였다. 환례들의 나이는 23∼47세였고, 남자 5명, 여자 2명이었다. 이들에 대해 혈액검사, 간 초음파 검사 등의 임상검사와 작업장 조사를 실시하였다. 결과 : 근무 부서는 중합 1명, 방사 1명, 권취 4명, 그리고 포장 1명이며 평균근무기간은 10주였다. 주 호소 증상은 심한 피로감, 어지럼증 및 황달이었고, 검사실 소견상 독성간염의 소견을 보였다. A, B 및 C형 간염 표지자 검사는 모두 음성이었고, 간초음파 소견상 특이 소견이 없었다. 문진 상 알코올 성 간염을 일으킬 정도의 음주력이나 최근 약물 복용력을 가지고 있는 환례는 없었다. 입원 후 보존적인 치료로 모두 급속히 호전되었다. 초기에 발생했던 환례에서 퇴원후 DMAC에 재 노출되어 독성 간염이 재발되었다. 이후 모든 환례들은 퇴원 후 DMAC 비노출 부서로 전환하였고, 퇴원후 지속적인 추적검사에서 간 효소 수치가 완전히 정상화되었고, 정상화되는 기간은 1∼2개월 정도 소요되었다. 결론 : 환례들의 임상증상, 검사결파, 노출력 및 과거력상 DMAC에 의한 독성간염으로 추정된다. Dimethylacetamide is widely used in the production of plasics, resins, synthetic fibers, and gums and in purification and crystallization processes. Inhalation of the vapor or skin absorption of the liquid of dimethylacetamide (DMAC) can cause liver damage. Toxic hepatitis possibly attributable to DMAC exposure occurred in seven works among 178 employees who had worked on a new spandex-fiber production line. A large amount of DMAC is used as a spinning solvent for synthetic fibers in the factory. The patients were aged 23-47 years old and composed of five males and two females. They were involved in the process of polymerization(1 patient), spinning(1), take-up(4) and packaging(1). The mean duration of exposure was 10 weeks. They experienced fatigue, dizziness and jaundice. The patients showed elavated total bilirubln, alanlne aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. The serologic test for viral hepatitis A, B and C were negative, as were the abdominal ultrasonographic scans. Based on the presumptive diagnosis of DMAC-induced toxic hepatitis, they were removed from the workplaces. One or two months after removal from the work, the transaminase levels returned to normal. The patients had no history of significant alcohol use, blood transfusion, recent medication, and drug abuse. As a result, authors could not find any attributable cause of toxic hepatitis but the toxicity by DMAC exposure.

목적 : 이 연구는 납점작업자를 대상으로 납점작업으로 유발될 가능성이 높은 눈, 호흡기, 피부 등의 증상호소율 및 노출강도에 따른 관련성을 파악하기위해 수행되었다. 방법 : 연구참가자 146명중 연구목적에 적합한 20명을 제외한 126명을 대상으로 '눈이 가렵고 충혈됨', '코가 가렵거나 파가움', '재채기', '콧물'. '코막힘' , '목이 따끔거림' , '목에 무언가가 걸려있는것 같음' , '갑자기 연속적인 기침을 함' , '운동 시에 다른 사람에 비해 숨이 가쁨', '숨을 쉴 때 쌕쌕하는 소리가 남', '가래가 끓음', '손이나 안면에 가려움을 느낌' , '안면에 여드름이 날' '손이나 안면에 붉은 반점이 남' 등 14가지 증상에 대한 경험유무와 혈중연농도, 납점작업의 건강위험요인에 대한 지식상태 등을 조사하였다. 결과 : 조사된 14가지의 증상 중, '갑자기 연속적인 기침을 함'이 하루 납점시간 4시간 이상인 군아서 4시간 미만인 군보다 유의하게 증상호소율이 높았으며, 다른 증상의 경우 하루 납땜시간에 따라 유의한 결과를 보이지 않았다. 납땜작업의 건강위험요인에 대한 질문에 12.8 %가 플럭스에 의한 건강위험을 지적하였다. 전체 대상자의 평균 혈중연농도는6.05 rg/dL였으며, 히고치는 15.50 rg/dL이었다.결론 : 납땜작업자에게 호흡기 증상의 위험이 높을 가능성이 있으며, 납땜작업의 건강위험에 대한추가적인 연구와 납점작업자들을 대상으로 납점작업에 의해 유발될 수 있는 건강장해에 대한 적극적인교육 및 홍보활동을 필요로 한다. Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of ocular, respiratory and skin symptoms among solderers and to investigate the relationship between symptom prevalence and exposure intensity. Methods : We analyzed 126 eligible participants out of a population of 146 male solder-ers who completed the symptom questionnaires. Fourteen symptoms including 'itchy and red eyes', 'itchy or prickly nose', 'sneezing', 'rhinorrhea', 'blocked nose', 'prickly throat', 'foreign body sensation in throat', 'sudden bouts of coughing', 'exertional breathlessness', 'wheezing', 'sputum production', 'itchy face or hands', 'acneiform erup-tions on the face' and 'red spots on the face or hands' were contained. Blood lead levels of all the 126 participants were tested and the participants' own assessments of the health risk of soldering were collected. Results : Of the 14 investigated symptoms, 'sudden bouts of coughing' was significantly more prevalent in solderers who worked 4 hours or more a day than those who worked less than 4 hours a day, as for the other symptoms, there were no significant differences in the prevalences related to daily soldering hours. 2.8% of the solderers considered the risk of flux exposure to be serious. The mean blood lead bevel was 6.05 μg/dL (maximum 15.50 μg/dL). Conclusions : Soldering may increase the risk of respiratory symptoms. Further invert tigations on the hazards of soldering processes are warranted and solderers should be educarted on these hazards.

해마 theta리듬과 pyramidal neuron의 세포내 특성과의 상관관계

권오흥,조진화,남순현,김현정,최병주,김영진,이만기 大韓小兒齒科學會 1998 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.25 No.4

Eledctrophysiological phenomena of pyramidal cells in the CAI area of the dorsal hippocampus were recorded from and filled with neurobiotin in anesthetized rats. The electropharmacological properties of membrane as well as the cellular-synaptic generation of rhythmic slow activity (theta)were examined. The intracellular response characteristics of these pyramidal cells were distinctly different from responses of inteneurons. Pyramidal cells had a high resting membrane potential, a low input resistance, and a large amplitude action potential. A afterhyperpolarization was followed a single action potential. Most of pyramidal cells did not display a spontaneous firing. Pyramidal cells displayed weak inward rectification and anodal break excitation. The slope of the frequency-current relation was 53.4 Hz/nA for the first interspike interval and 15.9 Hz/nA for the last intervals, suggesting the presence of spike frequency adaptation. Neurobiotin-filled neurons showed pyramidal morphology. Cells were generally bipolar dendritc processes ramifying in stratum lacunosum-moleculare, radiatum, and oriens. Commissural stimulation discharged pyramidal cells, followed by excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs and IPSPs). The frequency of theat-related membrane potential oscillation was voltage-independent in pyramidal neurons. At strong depolarization levels (less than 30 mV) pyramidal cells emitted sodium spike oscillation, phase-locked to theta. The observations provide direct evidence that theta-related rhythmic hyperpolarization of principal cells is brought by the rhythmically discharging interneurons. Furthermore, the findings in which interneurons were also paced by rhythmic inhibitory postsynaptic potentials during theta suggest that they were periodically hyperpolarized by their GABAergic septal afferents.

To develop a clotrimazole-loaded solid suppository with poloxamer and propylene glycol, the melting points of various formulations composed of poloxamer 188 (P 188) and propylene glycol were investigated. The dissolution study of clotrimazole delivered by the suppository composed of P 188 and propylene glycol was performed. The mixtures composed of P 188 and propylene glycol were homogeneous. Propylene glycol affected the melting points of poloxamer mixtures. In particular, the mixture [P 188/propylene glycol (70/30%)] with the melting point of about 32°C was a solid form at room temperature and instantly melted at physiological temperature. Furthermore, propylene glycol affected greatly the dissolution rates of clotrimazole from the suppository. Dissolution mechanism analysis showed the dissolution of clotrimazole was proportional to the time. Our results indicated that the solid suppository with P 188 and propylene glycol would be a candidate of rectal dosage form for clotrimazole.
