현재까지도 완전히 규명되지 못한 간질환과 혈청 구리 및 아연농도와의 관련성을 밝히고, 이들의 진단적 가치를 알아보고자 1990년 10월에서 1991년 8월 사이에 대구시 소재 모 대학병원 내과와 건강진단센터에 내원한 사람들 중에서 무작위로 선정한 정상 63명, 간경변 60명 그리고 간암 33명을 대상으로 일반적 특성을 조사하였고, 체내 일일 변동을 고려하여 공복시 오전 9시에서 11시 사이에 혈액을 채취하여 간기능검사의 생화학적 표지자와 혈청 구리 및 아연농도의 분석에 사용하였다. 혈청 구리의 평균농도는 대조군 $91.97{\pm}4.76{\mu}g/dl$, 간경화군 $106.21{\pm}2.73{\mu}g/dl$ 그리고 간암군 $127.05{\pm}0.77{\mu}g/dl$이었고, 대조군과 간경화군 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 간경화군과 간암군사이에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 아연에 있어서는 대조군 $110.82{\pm}7.24{\mu}g/dl$,간경화군 $68.10{\pm}5.43{\mu}g/dl$ 그리고 간암군 $63.78{\pm}2.20{\mu}g/dl$로 나타났고, 간경화군과 간암군 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 대조군과는 두 군 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). Cu/Zn비는 세 군 사이에 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 간기능검사의 생화학적 표지자들 중에 총 단백, 알부민, ALP 그리고 총 빌리루빈은 세 군 간에 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으나(p<0.05), ALT와 AST의 간경화군과 간암군 간의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았고, 직접 빌리루빈은 대조군에 대해 간암군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 헐청 구리와 아연농도 그리고 Cu/Zn비와 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보인 표지자는 세 군에서 다양하게 나타났다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 간경화 및 간암에 대한 odds ratio는 혈청 아연농도만이 각각 0.951, 0.952로 통계적으로 유의하였고(p<0.05), 혈 청 구리 농도와 Cu/Zn비는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 세 군에 대한 판별분석에서 구분을 위한 주요변수로 선정된 것은 알부민, ALP, 혈청 아연농도, 나이 그리고 총 빌리루빈이었고, 이를 적용하여 판별한 결과 바른구분의 백분율은 대조군 95.4%, 간경변군 73.4%, 간암군 75.7%로 총 84.0% 였다. 본 연구는 아연이 간질환에 대해 독립적으로도 억제하는 효과가 있을 것이며, 혈청 아연농도의 측정은 간질환의 진단에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것임을 시사하고 있다고 생각된다. This study was done to identify the association between serum copper and zinc levels and the cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and to evaluate its diagnostic value on liver diseases. Sixty-three healthy persons, 60 patients with cirrhosis and 33 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were rendomly selected and investigated for their general characteristics from October 1990 to August 1991. For analysis of the biochemical markers in liver function test and the serum copper and zinc levels, their fasting venous blood were sampled at 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning and centrifuged to separate the serum within one hour. All the samples were immediately analysed for biochemical markers and stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ in polypropylene tubes further copper and zinc analysis. Mean of serum coppper levels was $91.97{\pm}4.76{\mu}g/dl$ in control, $106.21{\pm}2.73{\mu}g/dl$ in cirrhosis and $127.05{\pm}0.77{\mu}g/dl$ in HCC. The value of HCC was statistically significantly higher than that of the control and cirrhosis(p<0.05). Serum zinc levels were $110.82{\pm}7.24{\mu}g/dl$ in control, $68.10{\pm}5.43{\mu}g/dl$ in cirrhosis and $63.78{\pm}2.20{\mu}g/dl$ in HCC. The values of cirrhosis and HCC were statistically significantly lower than that of control(p<0.05). The Cu/Zn ratio was statiatically significantly different among three groups(p<0.05). Test total protein, albumin, ALP and total bilirubin of biochemical markers of liver function were statistically significantly different among three groups(p<0.05). Differences between cirrhosis and HCC for ALT and AST, and between the control and HCC for direct bilirubin were not statistically significant. Biochemical markers statistically significantly correlated with serum copper and zinc levels and Cu/Zn ratio(p<0.05), were variable in three groups. In multiple logistic regression, odds ratio of serum copper level and Cu/Zn ratio had no statistical significance on the cirrhosis and the HCC, but that of serum sinc was statistically significant as 0.951 and 0.952(p<0.05). Serum copper and zinc levels and Cu/Zn ratio were not statistically significantly different between the cirrhosis and HCC. H\Albumin, ALP, zinc, total bilirubin and age among all variables were selected as main variables for three-group discriminant analysis. Percentage of 'grouped' cases correctly classified by these five variables was 98.4 for control, 73.4 for cirrhosis, 75.7 for HCC and 84.0 for all subjects. This study suggests that zinc level is considered to play a role as diagnostic marker on the hepatic disorders and be more useful than serum copper level and Cu/Zn ratio in diagnosis of the liver diseases.

In this paper, we design an optimal model following ${\mu}-$synthesis control system for fuel-injection of diesel engine which has robust performance and satisfactory command tracking performance in spite of uncertainties of the system. To do this, we give gain and dynamics parameters to the weighting functions and apply genetic algorithm with reference model to the optimal determination of the weighting functions that are given by the D-K iteration method which can design ${\mu}-$synthesis controller in the state space. These weighting functions are optimized simultaneously in the search domain which guarantees the robust performance of the system. The ${\mu}-$synthesis control system for fuel-injection designed by the above method has not only the robust performance but also a better command tracking performance than those of the ${\mu}-$synthesis control system designed by trial-and-error method. The effectiveness of this ${\mu}-$synthesis control system for fuel-injection is verified by computer simulation.

Nho, Jong-Hyun,Jung, Ho-Kyung,Lee, Mu-Jin,Jang, Ji-Hun,Sim, Mi-Ok,Jeong, Da-Eun,Cho, Hyun-Woo,Kim, Jong-Choon Korean Society of ToxicologyKorea Environmental Mu 2018 Toxicological Research Vol.34 No.2

Anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin and doxorubicin are effectively used more than radiotherapy. Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug, used for treatment of various forms of cancer. However, it has side effects such as ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity increases tubular damage and renal dysfunction. Consequently, we investigated the beneficial effect of cynaroside on cisplatin-induced kidney injury using HK-2 cell (human proximal tubule cell line) and an animal model. Results indicated that $10{\mu}M$ cynaroside diminished cisplatin-induced apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase-3 activation, cisplatin-induced upregulation of caspase-3/MST-1 pathway decreased by treatment of cynaroside in HK-2 cells. To confirm the effect of cynaroside on cisplatin-induced kidney injury in vivo, we used cisplatin exposure animal model (20 mg/kg, balb/c mice, i.p., once a day for 3 days). Renal dysfunction, tubular damage and neutrophilia induced by cisplatin injection were decreased by cynaroside (10 mg/kg, i.p., once a day for 3 days). Results indicated that cynaroside decreased cisplatin-induced kidney injury in vitro and in vivo, and it could be used for improving cisplatin-induced side effects. However, further experiments are required regarding toxicity by high dose cynaroside and caspase-3/MST-1-linked signal transduction in the animal model.

Yi, Jin-Mu,Jeong, Hyun-Ja,Shim, Kyung-Shik,Lee, Kang-Yong,Kim, Jeong-Sook,Zheng, Cui,Tomoko, Jippo,Lee, Young-Mi Kyung Hee Oriental Medicine Research Center 2000 International journal of oriental medicine Vol.1 No.2

We compared the effect between CAS and WAS(root, stem) on mast cell-mediated allergic reaction. CAS, WAS-root and WAS-stem, significantly inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic allergic reaction(1g/kg) and histamine release from RPMC(1mg/ml). CAS, WAS-root and WAS-stem also inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction. In addition, IgE-induced $TNF-{\alpha}$ secretion from RBL-2H3 was inhibited by pretreatment of CAS, WAS-root or WAS-stem$(0.01{\mu}g/ml)$. Taken together, inhibitory effect on mast cell-mediated allergic reactions of WAS-root is greater than those of WAS-stem but less than those of CAS.

ECR plasma로 전처리된 Cu seed층 위에 전해도금 된 Cu 막에 대한 Annealing의 효과

이한승,권덕렬,박현아,이종무,Lee, Han-seung,Kwon, Duk-ryel,Park, Hyun-ah,Lee, Chong-mu 한국재료학회 2003 한국재료학회지 Vol.13 No.3

Thin copper films were grown by electrodeposition on copper seed layers which were grown by sputtering of an ultra-pure copper target on tantalum nitride-coated silicon wafers and subsequently, cleaned in ECR plasma. The copper films were then subjected to ⅰ) vacuum annealing, ⅱ) rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and ⅲ) rapid thermal nitriding (RTN) at various temperatures over different periods of time. XRD, SEM, AFM and resistivity measurements were done to ascertain the optimum heat treatment condition for obtaining film with minimum resistivity, predominantly (111)-oriented and smoother surface morphology. The as-deposited film has a resistivity of ∼6.3 $\mu$$\Omega$-cm and a relatively small intensity ratio of (111) and (200) peaks. With heat treatment, the resistivity decreases and the (111) peak becomes dominant, along with improved smoothness of the copper film. The optimum condition (with a resistivity of 1.98 $\mu$$\Omega$-cm) is suggested as the rapid thermal nitriding at 400oC for 120 sec.

Background: Cynaroside is a flavone, a flavonoid-like compound, known by different names (luteoloside and cinaroside). It is commonly found in Lonicera japonica Thunb., Chrysanthemum moriflium, and Angelica keiskei. The process of cell death has been classified as necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis refers to unregulated cell death induced by a chemotherapeutic agent. Doxorubicin is an anthracycline anti-cancer drug used to treat acute leukemia, cancer, and lymphoma. However, it induces nephrotoxicity including tubular damage. Therefore, we investigated the protective effect of cynaroside against doxorubicin-induced necrosis in HK-2 cells. Methods and Results: To confirm the beneficial effect of cynaroside on doxorubicin-induced necrosis, HK-2 cells, a human proximal tubule epithelial cell line were treated with $10{\mu}M$ doxorubicin and $80{\mu}M$ cynaroside. Doxorubicin treatment resulted in increased DNA fragmentation, caspase-3 activity and mitochondria hyperactivation during cell necrosis. However, pretreatment with $80{\mu}M$ cynaroside attenuated DNA fragmentation, caspase-3 activity and mitochondria hyperactivation induced by $10{\mu}M$ doxorubicin in HK-2 cells. Conclusions: These results indicated that pretreatment with cynaroside ameliorated doxorubicin-induced necrosis in HK-2 cells. Therefore, cynaroside be used as a therapeutic agent for improving doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity. However, further studies are required to evaluated the toxicity of cynaroside treatment in animals and to determine its protective effect against doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity in an animal model.

A New Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor, MHY219, Inhibits the Migration of Human Prostate Cancer Cells via HDAC1

De, Umasankar,Kundu, Soma,Patra, Nabanita,Ahn, Mee Young,Ahn, Ji Hae,Son, Ji Yeon,Yoon, Jung Hyun,Moon, Hyung Ryoung,Lee, Byung Mu,Kim, Hyung Sik The Korean Society of Applied Pharmacology 2015 Biomolecules & Therapeutics(구 응용약물학회지) Vol.23 No.5

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are considered novel agents for cancer chemotherapy. We previously investigated MHY219, a new HDAC inhibitor, and its potent anticancer activity in human prostate cancer cells. In the present study, we evaluated MHY219 molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of prostate cancer cell migration. Similar to suberanilohydroxamic acid (SAHA), MHY219 inhibited HDAC1 enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner. MHY219 cytotoxicity was higher in LNCaP ($IC_{50}=0.67{\mu}M$) than in DU145 cells ($IC_{50}=1.10{\mu}M$) and PC3 cells ($IC_{50}=5.60{\mu}M$) after 48 h of treatment. MHY219 significantly inhibited the HDAC1 protein levels in LNCaP and DU145 cells at high concentrations. However, inhibitory effects of MHY219 on HDAC proteins levels varied based on the cell type. MHY219 significantly inhibited LNCaP and DU145 cells migration by down-regulation of matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-2 and induction of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1). These results suggest that MHY219 may potentially be used as an anticancer agent to block cancer cell migration through the repression of MMP-1 and MMP-2, which is related to the reduction of HDAC1.

As distributed applications become more common. the need for the fault-tolerant distributed computing becomes more important. The design and implementation of fault tolerant distributed applications from scratch is often oomplicated and error-prone. Therefore. programming environments for reliable distributed systems are under great demand. In this paper, we evaluate the perFormance of Evergreen suggested in [1]. Evergreen is a fault-tolerant distributed programming environment based on RMI with checkpoints and rollback-recovery mechanism. Three benchmark models such as the n-Queens problem, the traveling stlesman problem and the Gauasian elimination Problem are experimented with the Evergreen to evaluate its Performance. Experiment's results show that its performance is acceptable.

김석현,박무열 江原大學校 産業技術硏究所 2009 産業技術硏究 Vol.29 No.A

Vibration characteristics of a 6kW stand alone W/T(wind turbine) system are experimentally and theoretically investigated. Vibration resonance of the tower-cable system is monitored and the data are analysed and compared with the analytical results. To predict the resonance speed of the cable supported W/T, Rayleigh-Ritz method is applied to the tower-guy cable coupled system. Parametric study on the relation of the cable tension, cable elasticity and resonance frequency is carried out. Results of the study are utilized to design the stable structure of small size wind turbines which consist of a pivoted tower and guy cables.
