The use of cyclosporine(CsA), a potent immunosuppressive agent, is associated with numerous side effects. Neurotoxicity was earlier less well known, but with growing experience central nervous system side effects are now reported up to 40% of patients. Among various CsA-induced neurotoxicities, tremor is most common and posterior leukoencephalopathy is well characterized. An encephalopathy presenting with pyramidal weakness, however, seems to be rare and poorly documented. We report here a case of encephalopathy presenting with multiple generalized seizures followed by fluctuating quadriparesis developed a few days after starting CsA and resolved spontaneously after withdrawal of the drug . A 48-year-old woman with aplastic anemia was placed upon immmunosuppressive treatment consisting of antithymocyte globulin(ATG), CsA, and methylprednisolone. Two days after starting the therapy, she developed a generalized seizure. The next day she developed 2 more episodes of seizure and the therapy was stopped. Computed tomogram of the brain was normal. Six days after starting therapy, she developed mild motor weakness and paresthesia of both lower extremities, which progressed to a definite quariparesis confining her to a bed in 3 days. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain revealed asymmetric, bilateral high-signal abnormalites in the subcortical white matter of fronto-temporal areas. After reaching to a maximum with some fluactuation(14 days after starting the therapy) the motor weakness started to be resolved. She was discharged with a almost complete resolution of the weakness 45 days after starting the therapy. Five months later she did well and brain MRI was negative.

Department of Rehabilitation, College of Oriental Medicine², Seoul, korea. Bady Fat Reduction Effects of Red Ginseng Compound Preparation on the Patients with Obesity. Proceedings of International Symposium on East-West Medicine, Seoul. 244-254, 1999.-Obesity can be defined as a metabolic disease due to an increased state of fat tissues caused by an imbalance of calorie intake and use. Recently, in Korea by improvement and westernization of food intake, along with decrease in exercise activities, the prevalence of obesity has increased greatly. Our objectives were to study stability and effects of decrease in body fat by administering red ginseng compound preparation (known to have body fat decreasing effects in laboratory animals) to obesity patients on low calorie diets. Changes in weight and body fat were measured while carrying out calorie-restricted diets on patients for 4 weeks, then administering red ginseng compound preparation for another 4 weeks. The patients were 20 people whose BMI were 25kg/㎡ or over and whose percent body fat was also 30% or over when tested by bioelectrical conductivity. 1. Changes in weight were from 70.04kg(base line) to 67.43kg(after taking red ginseng compound preparation). 2. In similar sense, BMI decreased from 27.12kg/㎡(base line) to 26.56kg/㎡(after dieting), and further to 26.01kg/㎡ (after taking red ginseng compound preparation). The BMI seemed to decrease significantly compared to the baseline after the use of red ginseng compound. 3. Waist hip ratio was changed from 0.8858(base line) to 0.8728, but it was statistically insignificant. 4. The percent body fat was 35,16%(base line), 33.87%(after dieting), and 31.68%(after taking red ginseng compound preparation). 5. Complete blood cell count and blood chemisrty remained unaffected by the administration. 6. In concern to endocrinologic studies, T3 decreased from 118.7 to 98.2ng/dL, and T4 increased from 8.8 to 9.2㎕/ dL. Epinephrine showed a tendency to decreased from 0.27 to 0.25 ng/mL, and norepinephrine increased from 0.39 to 0.44ng/mL. 7. Leptin was not changed. 8. Some patients complained adverse effects; constipation(5 patients, may be due to diet therapy), fatigue (2 patients), pruritus(2 patients), flushing(s patients), dizziness(3 patients) and epigastric discomfort(2 patients). However their symptoms were mild, so medication did not stopped. In conclusion, loss of weight without significant side effects was observed during low calorie diet and red ginseng compound preparation administration. This is thought to be in relation to sympathetic nerve system rather than adrenal gland. Also, further long0term studies should be required, since the observed results were based on short-term changes in weight.

We investigated the effect of aqueous extract of Ammomum xanthioides(AXAE) on immediate hypersensitivity. AXAE inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in mice. AXAE inhibited serum histamine levels induced by compound 48/80 in mice. Moreover, AXAE dose-dependently inhibited histamine release in peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80. These results indicate that the AXAE may be benificial in the regulation of immediate type allergic reaction.

폐렴구균 감염증에서 항생제 내성의 임상적 의미 : Asian Network for Surveillance of Resistant Pathogens(ANSORP) Study

목적 : 전 세계적으로 폐렴구균의 페니실린을 포함한 β-lactam과 마크로라이드 및 퀴놀론 계열의 항생제에 대한 내성이 급격히 증가하여 임상적으로 문제가 되고 있으나, 시험관내 내성이 실제 임상적 예후에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 아직까지 논란이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 폐렴구균의 항생제 내성률이 높은 아시아 지역에서 항생제 내성이 폐렴구균 감염증의 임상경과에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 시행되었다. 방법 : ANSORP에서 주관한 전향적 임상 연구로서 1999년 11월부터 2001년 8월까지 아시아 지역 11개국의 14개 기관에서 진단된 침습성 폐럼구균 감염증 환자를 대상으로 내성 균주 감염의 위험요인, 임상양상, 예후 등의 임상적 분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 총 646명 환자의 평균연령은 30.1세(6일-89세)였고, 이전 3개월 내에 항생제 사용력이 있는 환자는 159명(32.4%)이었다. 질환별로는 폐렴이 377예(58.4%)로 가장 많았고, 중이염 67예, 뇌수막염 66예(10.2%), 일차성 균혈증 65예(10.1%)였다. 총 646균주 중 347균주(53.7%)가 페니실린 비감수성(중등도 내성 23.1%, 고도 내성 23.1%)이었고, 페니실린에 대한 MIC_(90)은 0.03㎍/mL에서 4㎍/mL까지의 분포를 보였다. 페니실린 비감수성 균주에 의한 감염증과 차이가 없었다. 페니실린 내성 폐렴구균 폐렴에 의한 사망률은 페니실린 감수성 폐렴구균 폐렴에 의한 사망률과 차이가 없었다(p=0.846). Erythromycin에 대한 고도 내성을 보이는 균주의 비율이 매우 높았으나, 실제 임상상이나 치사율에는 영향을 미치지 않았다(p=0.092). 페니실린 비감수성 폐렴구균에 의한 뇌수막염의 치사률도 감수성 균주에 의한 사망률과 차이가 없었다(p=0.059). 결론 : 본 연구의 결과 페니실린 및 베타 락탐 제제에 대한 시험관 내성은 폐렴구균 폐렴이나 뇌수막염의 임상상이나 치사율에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 내성의 정도와 연관될 것으로 생각되므로, 향후 고도 내성 균주가 증가할 때 추가 검증을 요한다. 아울러 macrolide 및 퀴놀론계 항생제 내성의 임상적 의미에 대한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Background : Despite the widespread emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pneumococcal strains worldwide, clinical implications of in vitro resistance still remain an open question. To evaluate the clinical impact of pneumococcal resistance in Asian countries where the prevalence of pneumococcal resistance was reported to be highest in the world, ANSORP has performed a prospective, multinational surveillance study with cases with invasive pneumococcal diseases in Asian countries. Methods : In vitro susceptibility of pneumococcal isolates was determined by broth microdilution tests with 16 antimicrobial agents. All enrolled cases of pneumococcal infections were analyzed with regard to demographic data, clinical features, risk factors and mortality. Results : A total of 646 patients with pneumococcal infections were enrolled from 14 centers in 12 countries between the period from November 1999 to August 2001. Pneumonia (58.4%) was the most common clinical disease followed by bacteremia (33.4%), otitis media (10.4%), and meningitis (10.2%). Among 646 isolates, 347 (53.7%) were penicillin non-susceptible (intermediate 23.1%, resistant 30.7%). MIG_(90)s for penicillin ranged from 0.03 (India) to 4.0 ㎍/mL (Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Hong Kong). Overall mortality from pneumococcal diseases by penicillin non-susceptible strains was not different from that by susceptible strains. Pneumococcal pneumonia caused by penicillin- or erythromycin-resistant strains showed similar mortality, severity of illness, or complications to that by susceptible strains. Mortality from pneumococcal meningitis caused by penicillin non-susceptible strains was also similar to that by susceptible strains. Conclusion : Data suggest that current situation of in vitro resistance to penicillin or macrolides may not affect the mortality from pneumococal pneumonia or meningitis caused by antibiotic-resistant strains.

Anatomic abnormalities of teeth development include the presence of a single maxillary central incisor at midline instead of two central incisors. The incidence of cases with a single maxillary central incisor is approximately 1 in every 50,000 live births. single median maxillary central incisor(SMMCI) may be a integral manifestation of anyone of a number of syndromes. It has been reported an association with several midline disorders which have varied in severity. A SMMCI has also been reported as an isolated finding. But in some cases, it has been considered as an incomplete expression of autosomal dominant holoprosencephaly. So any patient who appears for treatment with a SMMCI should be referred for a detailed medical examination to exclude other associated systemic abnormalities and for mutation analysis to facilitate correct diagnosis and the provision of appropriate genetic counseling. Early orthodontic treatment is needed to minimalize emotional trauma of child. This case report was about three patients with a SMMCI as isolated finding. The purpose of these case reports was to present cases of single maxillary central incisor not associated with other disorders. Single Median Maxillary Central Incisor(SMMCI)는 상악 중절치 형성부전으로 하나의 상악 중절치가 정중앙에 위치하는 치아 발달의 해부학적 이상을 의미한다. 50,000명 중에 1명 꼴로 발생할 정도로 아주 드물며 각종 증후군 및 정중선 이형성을 보이는 발달장애와 연관되어 나타나는 것으로 보고되고 있다. SMMCI는 다른 이상과 연계되지 않고 독립적으로 나타날 수도 있으나 상염색체 우성유전인 전전뇌증(holoprosencephaly)의 경미한 발현일 가능성이 있으므로 유전자 상담이 필요하다. 또 특징적인 안모 및 구강 상태를 보이므로 환아의 바람직한 신체적,정서적 발달을 위해 조기에 교정적 접근이 필요하다. 본 증례는 다른 이상 소견을 보이지 않는 세 명의 SMMCI 환아의 증례를 보고하는 바 이다.

호주 현대비평의 동향

신정현 중앙대학교 호주학연구소 2001 Journal of Australian studies Vol.8 No.1

It wouldnt be a grouts exaggeration to say that the history of Australian literary criticism is one of the unspoken fear deriving from cultural complex of inferiority. It is true that Australian literary critics inferiority complex has made them continuously critical of and hard to live with some of Anglo-European literary traditions and Australian writers who received acclaim abroad. The person or people who feel inferior may overcome the feeling by trying to pursue some knowledge that somebody else has to go after it. However, Australia has produced no single critic or theorist of international stature, nor has it developed a distinct school of criticism or theory. It is no wonder that Australian literary criticism tended to be imitative and counter-discursive. Well into the twentieth century, the energy of Australian literary criticism was burnt up in anxiety to repell the idea that Australian writing is either inferior or second-rate. Austrlian literary critics of this time did not learn to bear with the things they couldn't change. To avoid self-pity, they were trying to show that their culture was as good as or better than those of their colonists. The result was the so-called "National Literary Project". Australian literary nationalism that had envisioned a literature distinguished by its Australianniss and found its voice in the Bulletin and Meanjin, had come to dominate Australia by the end of the 1940s and continued to dominate deep into the sixties as a prime determiner of the curse put on Australian literary criticism. Ironically enough, Australian literary critics had borrowed entire phrases from the 19th-century European nationalism and incorporated them into the European terms of literary realism to make their voice and to attack literary modernism. Many of Australian nationalist literary critics rejected, even ridiculed, the work of Patrick White, who was to be awarded the Noble prize in 1973. Though all of them did not find White's novels offensively un-Australian, many of them saw his metaphysical use of Australian materials as a threat to the realist tradition they admired and considered superior. Also, the works of Christina Stand have been largely ignored for the same reason. Even today, the critical situation in Australia has not changed in nature. If Meajin, which started publication in 1940, tirelessly promoted the national literature, Australian Literary Studies which was founded in 1963 is still devoting itself exclusively to Australian literature. Though Australia enters its third century of European settlement, its critical outlook did not mature at all. Nowadays, under the imposition of socialist realism, postcolonialism, multi-culturalism, and popularism, all of which are initiated and developed by European or American critics, Australian literary critics are giving themselves up entirely to scoffing at post-structural trends of criticism, which are considered "foreign" to their aesthetic beliefs.

배경 : 방선균증은 혐기성의 그람양성 간균에 의한 만성 화농성 감염으로, 경안면부, 흉부, 복부, 골반부 등을 주로 침범한다. 최근 구강 위생의 향상과 항생제의 사용으로 인해 방선균증의 빈도의 감소와 함께 그 임상양상 또한 크게 변화하였다. 저자들은 국내에서의 방선균증의 임상상을 분석하기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1995년 5월부터 1998년 9월까지 삼성서울병원에서 방선균증으로 진단받은 환자를 대상으로 임상기록지를 토대로 감염병소와 임상경과 등을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 방선균증 환자는 모두 12명으로 경안면부 1례, 흉부 3례, 복부 3례, 골반부 5례였다. 임상양상은 주로 종괴의 형태로 나타나 진단을 내리기까지 종양과의 감별에 어려웠으며 진단은 모두 조직검사나 흡인액에서 유황과립을 확인함으로써 이루어졌다. 방선균증으로 진단된 환자는 모두 호전소견을 보였다. 결론 : 국내에서도 방선균증이 드물지 않게 발생하고 있으며 임상양상이 다양하여 가장 많이 오진되는 질환 중의 하나이다. 방선균증은 조직검사나 균배양검사를 통해 진단하고 항생제를 통해 완치될 수 있는 질환이므로 환자 진단에 관심을 가지면 불필요한 수술을 피할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Background: Actinomycosis is an indolent, slowly progressive bacterial infection, caused by Actinomyces. a gram-positive, non-spore-forming anaerobic or microaerophilic rod. Actinomycosis affects nearly every organ and body site. The disease is classically divided into four types, depending on the anatomic sites involved: cervicofacial, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic. It has been considered as a rare disease, and only several cases have been reported in Korea. We performed this study to analyse the clinical manifestations of actinomycosis in Korea. Method: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with actinomycosis at the Samsung Medical Center from May 1995 to December 1998. Results: During the study period, actinomycosis was diagnosed in 12 patients: 1 patient had cervicofacial lesion, 3 thoracic, 3 abdominal, and 5 pelvic. The male and female ratio was 1 : 2 and the mean age was 47.2 years. Sulfur granule was observed in the pathologic specimens from all cases, but organism did not grow at all. It was very difficult to differentiate actinomycosis from tumorous conditions without pathologic diagnosis. All patients were clinically improved with antibiotics or surgical procedures. Conclusion: Actinomycosis is not a rare disease nowadays and has various clinical manifestations. It can be diagnosed by pathologic examination or culture and cured by antibiotics without surgical management.
