Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disorder, with a vicious cycle of repetitive inflammation and deterioration of the epidermal barrier function. Adiponectin, an adipokine, has anti-inflammatory effects on various metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Recently, its level was found to be reduced in serum and tissue samples from AD patients. Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of adiponectin on epidermal inflammation and barrier structures in AD skin. Methods: A three-dimensional in vitro epidermal equivalent model mimicking AD was obtained by adding an inflammatory substance cocktail to normal human epidermal equivalents (HEEs). The expression of epidermal differentiation markers, primary inflammatory mediators, and lipid biosynthetic enzymes was compared between adiponectintreated AD-HEEs, untreated control AD-HEEs, and normal HEEs. Results: Adiponectin co-treatment 1) inhibited the increase in mRNA expression of major inflammatory mediators (carbonic anhydrase II, neuron-specific NEL-like protein 2, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and human beta-defensin-2) from keratinocytes in AD-inflammatory HEEs, 2) enhanced the expression of lipid biosynthetic enzymes (fatty acid synthase, HMG CoA reductase, and serine-palmitoyl transferase), and 3) promoted the expression of differentiation factors, especially filaggrin. We also found that the expression of adiponectin receptor-1 and -2 decreased in the epidermis of chronic AD lesion. Conclusion: Activation of the adiponectin pathway is expected to enhance epidermal differentiation and barrier function as well as attenuate inflammatory response to AD as a therapeutic approach.

Alterations in DNA methylation patterns in regenerated Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) plants derived from tissue culture

Hyun‑Min Lee,Jee‑Soo Park1,Yun‑Hee Shin,박영두 한국원예학회 2021 Horticulture, Environment, and Biotechnology Vol.62 No.4

Plant tissue culture is an essential tool in biotechnology. However, tissue-cultured plants often exhibit variations that are either genetic or epigenetic in origin, termed somaclonal variations. Among these variations, DNA methylation is an important heritable epigenetic modification that plays a role in a wide variety of biological processes, including gene expression. In this study, we performed bisulfite sequencing of regenerated Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) lines to identify DNA alterations induced by tissue culture. Sequencing data from each regenerated line were compared with reference genome sequences, and common differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were detected in the regenerants. To determine changes in expression levels of DMR-containing genes, we performed quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of the target genes and PCR amplification with bisulfite-converted DNA. We identified DMRs between a non-regenerant line and regenerant lines and selected 10 DMR-associated genes that presented annotation information in Arabidopsis or Brassica rapa. Their expression levels were verified by qRT-PCR to determine the relation between methylation state and gene expression. We observed that genes positioned in DMRs significantly correlated with differential gene expression. We also observed similar methylation patterns in the selected DMRs by PCR-based methylation analysis. The results of this study are a valuable resource for the epigenetic analysis of regenerated lines, especially for Chinese cabbage.

[논문]Operational Characteristics of CO2 Laser Adopted by Superposing-Discharge

Hee-Je Kim,Hyun-Ju Chung,Byoung-Dae Min,Jong-Han Joung,Sung- lun Park 釜山大學校生産技術硏究所 2003 生産技術硏究所論文集 Vol.62 No.-

오늘날 현저한 CO2 레이저의 응용 추세에 발맞추어 보다 다양한 형태의 출력 제어 기술이 대두되고 있다. 본연구에서는multi-Pulse Superposing-Discharge 기술을 이용하여 다양한형태의 CO2 레이저의 펄스를 성형 하였다. 펄스 성형을 위한 방법으로 PIC one-chip microprocessor를 이용하여 삼중 PFN 모률의 SCR을 각각 고유의 지연시간을 가지도록 제어하였다. 실험에 사용된 삼중 PFN 모률의 전원 회로는 각각 캐패시터 인덕터,SCR,고압 펄스 트랜스 그리고 고압 트랜스 2차측에 브릿지 정류기로 구성 하였다. 고압 펼스 트랜스의 1차측을 제어하므로서 PFN 모률의 동작을 저 전압에서 수행 할 수 있다. 트랜스의 2차측에 연결된 전파 정류기는 펄스 에너지를 부하에 지속적으로 전달한다. 본 연구에서는 삼중 PFN 모률의 각각의 SCR을 다른 시간 가격을 두고 트리거 하므로서 다양한 Long pulse shaping을 실현하였다. 또한 약 250-1000μs 의 주기를 가지는 다양한 펄스형 레이저 빔을 얻었다.

남도현,이상형,김동규,정희원,지제근,왕규창,김현집,최길수,한대희 대한신경외과학회 1993 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.22 No.3

The authors report on 17 patients having primary central nervous system(CNS) lymphomas between January, 1981 and August, 1992. All patients were treated at Seoul National University Hospital. Only three cases underwent surgery only and fourteen cases underwent surgery and radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy. There were no immunosuppressive patients. Sixteen patients were analyzed for survival studies, because one case was lost during follow-up. The median survival time(MST) was 26 months and one- and two-year survival rates for the 16 patients were 87.5% and 65.6% respectively. The rate of survival was analyzed according to possible prognostic factors ; age and sex, multiplicity and location of tumors, preoperative Karnofsky performance score(KPS), pathological subclassification, type of surgery, preoperative steroid therapy, postoperative adjuvant therapy, extent of radiation, chemotherapy and the degree of response to treatment at three months follow-up. Postoperative adjuvant therapy and the degree of response to the treatment correlated with survival. Fourteen patients who underwent postoperative adjuvant therapy had a median survival time of 63 months. The one- and two-year survival rates were 100% and 75% respectively compared to the MST of 1.5 months with survival rates of 0% and 0% retrospectively for the two patients who did not. A higher long term survival rate was observed in the group with better immediate responses. In nine of 16 patients with complete responses, the MST, one-, and two-year survival rates were 63 months, 100%, and 83% respectively. The authors suggest that preoperative application of steroids may be considered in case of clinically suspected primary CNS lymphomas. It is concluded that after obtaining the tissue diagnosis of primary CNS lymphomas, radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy should be performed until the complete response.

양희진,김동규,정희원,이현구,김현집,조병규,최길수,한대희 대한신경외과학회 1992 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.21 No.10

The authors present six cases of lateral ventricle meningiomas treated at Seoul National University Hospital between 1979 and 1991. These six cases of lateral ventricular meningiomas constitute 1.8 percent of all intracranial meningiomas and 16.7 percent of mass lesions of the lateral ventricle. The mean age was 29 years ranging from 11 to 50 years, younger than that or intracranial meningiomas with a statistical significance(p<0.01). Four of the patients were women and two were men. All cases were located in the trigonal area. The most common clinical symptoms and signs were related to increased intracranial pressure such as headache, nausea and vomiting. Based on the clinical presentation and radiological features(CT. MRI and angiography), correct preoperative diagnosis was possible in five cases. Gross total removal of the tumor was achieved in all cases. There was no operative mortality. A temporal gyrus approach was used in five cases with good surgical results. The benefits and drawbacks of each surgical approach for meningiomas of the lateral ventricle is discussed with review of pertinent literatures.

Background : The increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria causing nosocomial infections is an important clinical problem. Isepamicin is a recently developed aminoglycoside which has been known to have potent activity against gram-negative organisms. We evaluated the in vitro activities of isepamicin and other aminoglycosides against a large number of gram-negative organisms. Materials and Methods : We tested the in vitro antimicrobial activities of isepamicin, amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin against 566 gram-negative organisms collected between January 2006 and June 2006 in Asan Medical Center. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined and interpreted according to the recommendations of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI). The breakpoint MIC used for interpretation of isepamicin was MIC≤16 ㎍/mL as susceptible, 32 ㎍/mL as intermediate, and 64 ㎍/mL as resistant. Results : The MIC_(50)/MIC_(90) of isepamicln for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumon/ae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterobacter cloacae were 1/2, 0.5/>128, 4/16, 16/>128, and 1/2 ㎍/mL, respectively. The susceptibilities for E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, and E. cloacae were 100%, 86.4%, 89.7%, 50.0%, and 96.6%, respectively. For E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, and E. cloacae, isepamicln had better in vitro activities than gentamicin and tobromycin, and had similar activities with amlkacin. For A. baumanii, all four tested aminoglycosides had similar in vitro activities. Conclusion : Isepamicin had excellent in vitro activities against gram-negative organisms, except A. baumanii. The overall in vitro activities were similar with amikacin. 목적 : 그람 음성 세균은 다양한 지역사회 및 병원 획득 감염의 원인균이다. 최근에는 병원 감염을 일으키는 그람 음성 세균에서 항균제 내성균의 출현과 확산이 큰 문제가 되고 있다. Isepamicin은 최근에 소개된 gentamicin B의 유도체로 외국에서의 연구에 의하면 그람 음성 세균들에 대한 항균력이 우수함이 보고 된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 임상 균주들을 대상으로 그람 음성세균에서 isepamicin의 시험관내 항균력을 기존의 아미노배당체 제재들과 비교하여 평가하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2006년 1월에서 6월 사이에 서울아산병원 환자에서 분리된 Escherichia coli 113 균주, Klebsiella pneumoniae 110 균주, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 117 균주, Acinetobacter baumannii 108 균주, 그리고 Enterobacter cloacae 118 균주를 대상으로 isepaimcin, amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin에 대한 최소억제농도(minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC)를 한천 희석법(Mueller-Hinton Agar)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 감수성여부는 CLSI 기준에 따랐으며, isepamicin은 MIC≤16㎍/mL를 감수성, MIC=32 ㎍/mL를 중등도 내성, MIC≥64 ㎍/mL를 내성으로 판정하였다. 결과 : Isepamicm의 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A baumannii, E. cloacae에 대한 MIC_(50)/MIC_(90)은 각각 1/2, 0.5/>128, 4/16, 16/>128, 1/2 ㎍/mL였고, 항균제 감수성률은 차례대로 100%, 86.4%, 89.7%, 50.0%, 96.6%였다. 기존 아미노배당체 제재들과 비교하면 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, E. cloacae에서는 amikacin과 비슷한 감수성률을 보였고, gentamicin과 tobramycin보다 높은 감수성률을 보였다. A baumannii의 경우 isepamicin의 감수성률이 50.0%로 비교적 낮았지만 amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin도 각각 50.0%, 46.3%, 47.2%의 감수성률을 나타내어 4가지 항균제가 모두 비슷한 항균력을 보였다. 결론 : Isepamicin은 그람 음성 세균들에 있어 기존의 아미노배당체 제재들과 비교했을 때 amikacin과는 동등한 시험관내 항균력을 보이고 gentamicin, tobramycin보다 뛰어난 시험관내 항균력을 보여 사용이 유망한 아미노배당체 중 하나라 생각된다.
