Objective: This study aims to analyze that specific prognostic factors such as Ki-67 value, histologic grade, pathology type, and cancer stage can affect controlled ovarian stimulation outcomes(COS) for fertility preservation in women with breast cancer. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 92 patients with breast cancer aged 21-44 who underwent COS from August 2012 to April 2020, excluding patients with previous gonadotoxic therapy history. All COS cycles were conducted letrozole-combined random start GnRH antagonist protocol. COS outcomes were compared according to prognostic factors;Ki-67 (< 30% vs. ≥ 30%), histologic grade (low vs. high), and pathologic type (intraductal carcinoma(IDC) vs. triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)), and cancer stage (early (I, II) vs. advanced (III, IV)). Multivariate analysis was also conducted to find any parameter that can impact over 10 mature oocytes acquisition. Results: Among the 92 patients, 42 were Ki-67≥30% compared to 49 of Ki-67<30%. The number of oocytes, and initial mature oocytes were comparable between Ki-67<30% and ≥30 group. The maturation rate was significantly higher in Ki-67≥30% group than Ki-67<30% group (57.4±36.8% vs. 44.8±28.3%, p=0.041). The same results were drawn when divided according to IDC or TNBC. The maturation rate was significantly higher in TNBC than the IDC group (73.0±17.6% vs. 47.0±28.1% p=0.001). However, the histologic grade or stage did not show any difference in COS outcomes between high and low grade or early and advanced stages. With multivariate analysis, age and AMH are parameters associated with the acquisition of over 10 mature oocytes (OR 0.863, 95% CI [0.755-0.987], OR 1.408, 95% CI [1.145-1.732], respectively). Conclusion: Either Ki-67 or pathologic type can be a potential reliable marker for predicting COS outcome, especially maturation rate. Further study with larger sample size with specific conditions is necessary to clarify the correlation between breast cancer prognostic factors and COS outcomes.

Kim, Ki Hyun,Lim, Hye Jin,Kim, Yeon Ju,Kim, Seung Won,Kim, Young Sun,Tian, Chunjie,Park, Keehyun,Park, Tae Jun,Choung, Yun-Hoon Scandinavian University Press 2014 Acta oto-laryngologica Vol.134 No.3

<P><I>Conclusion:</I> Gankyrin seems to be a better biomarker for cholesteatoma compared with Ki-67. <I>Objective:</I> Gankyrin is an oncoprotein, and occurs in cancers but not in benign diseases. The goal of this study was to compare expression of gankyrin, p53, and a proliferation marker (Ki-67) in cholesteatoma and retroauricular skin (RAS), and to evaluate their significance as clinical parameters. <I>Methods:</I> The levels of expression of gankyrin, Ki-67, and p53 in 10 cholesteatoma and 10 paired samples of normal RAS were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot. The results were compared with clinical profiles to investigate a correlation. <I>Results:</I> The expression of gankyrin, Ki-67, and p53 proteins was observed in both basal and suprabasal layers of cholesteatoma. The intensity of gankyrin expression was ‘positive’ in two cases (20%) and ‘strongly positive’ in eight cases (80%); p53 expression in the suprabasal layer was ‘positive’ in 70% of cases; and the Ki-67 staining was ‘focal’ in 80% of cases. In RAS, these proteins were expressed dominantly in the basal layer. Western blot analysis showed that the gankyrin band was more intense in cholesteatoma than in RAS for three of four cases (<I>p</I> < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the expression of gankyrin, Ki-67, and p53 according to clinical variables.</P>

인체 대장암 20례와 자궁경부암 10례의 암조직을 대상으로 c-Ki-ras 유전자 codon 12와 13에서의 점돌연변이를 알아보고자 polymerase chain reaction(PCR)과 single-strand conformation polymorphism(SSCP) 검사법을 시행하였다. 대장암의 경우 20례중 9례(45%)에서, 자궁경부암의 경우 10례중 1례(10%)에서 양성으로 나왔다. 대장암에서는 codon 12에서 GGT가 TGT로의 치환이 4례로서 가장 많았으며, AGT, CGT로의 치환이 각 1례였고 codon 13에서는 GGC가 GAC로의 치환이 2례, TGC로의 치환이 1례인 것으로 나타났다. 자궁경부암의 경우 codon 12에서 GGT가 AGT로의 치환이 1례인 것으로 나타났다. In an attempt to clarify the role of genetic alteration in the genesis of human colorectal and cervical cancers, tissue specimens from 20 patients with colorectal cancer and 10 patients with cervical cancer were examined for the presence of point mutation in K-ras2 exon 1 by single strand conformation polymorphism analysis of PCR product. Exon I of c-Ki-ras2 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and comparison was made between the normal and mutated genes by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) of PCR product and nucleotide sequence analysis using asymmetric PCR with direct sequencing. Genomic DNA from white blood cells were used as normal control and those from A427 cell line were used as mutated control. 1.PCR product from A427 cell line showed a distinct migration shift pattern compared to the normal control in PAGE and the direct sequencing indicated that nucleotide sequence of codon 12 was mutated from GGT to GAT. In addition, there was a loss of normal allele in A427 cell line. 2.PCR product from 9 cases(45%) out of a 20 colon cancer patients showed migration shifts in PAGE, and all of these 9 patients invariably demonstrated mutation of ras gene, either in codon 12(6 cases:30%) or 13(3 cases:15%). The base substitutions in codon 12 were: from GGT to AGT(1), CGT(1), or TGT(4). Base changes in codon 13 were from GGC to TGC(1) or GAC(2). 3.PCR product from 1 cases(10%) out of a 10 cervical cancer patients showed migration shrifts in PAGE, Invariably demonstrated mutation of ras gene in codon 12. The base substitutions was from GGT to AGT(1) TQE incidence of point mutation of c-Ki-ras in colon cancer was high, however, it was low in cervical cancer, which showed the relation of ruts gene mutation with colon cancer. PCR -SSCP analysis is a simple, rapid and efficient method of detection of point mutation, especially when dealing with multiple samples.

( Ki Min Sohn ),( Kwan Ho Jeong ),( Joo Hyun Lee ),( Jung Eun Kim ),( Hoon Kang ) 대한피부과학회 2014 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.66 No.2

Background: Frequency electrical stimulation is clinically being used in variable skin therapeutic conditions such as skin rejuvenation and hair disorder. There have been several clinical studies demonstrating the positive effect of electrical stimuli on hair regrowth. However, its exact mechanism is yet to be clarified. Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate effects of different electrical parameter settings on hair growth by revealing the changes of dermal papilla cell in vitro and at microscopic level in animal tissue. Methods: Cultured dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dorsal skin of rabbit were electrically stimulated with different parameter settings at alternating-current to find the optimal condition for hair growth. Cell viability and proliferation were measured by MTT. In addition, Ki67, proliferation marker, expression was measured by immunofluorescence. Hair growth-related gene expression in DPCs and the skin of rabbit were measured by RT-PCR. Results: At certain electrical settings, DPCs responded well and their proliferation was successfully induced. Wnt/β -catenin, Ki67, p-ERK and p-AKT expressions in DPCs increased at certain frequency settings. Dermal thickness and hair related genes (PDGF, VEGF, SOX9 and KGF) expressions in the skin of rabbit also significantly increased. Conclusion: These data suggest that electrical stimulations at certain electrical settings, may give more effective therapeutic outcomes for hair growth.

A 60-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of fever with chillness and anarexia for 12 weeks. Physical examination revealed supraclavicular lymphadenopathy and left inguinal lymphadenopathy. Abdominal CT scan showed the evidence of maked lymphadenopathy on retraperitoneal, external iliac, obturator, left inguinal, and celiac lymph nodes. A pathologic diagnosis of Ki-1(+) lymphoma was made by the biopsed supraclavicular lymph node because the node consisted of large cells with pleomorphic nuclei, scanty cytoplasm, large basophilic nucleoli, atypical vacuoli and large cells were positive for leukocyte common antigen, Ber-H2, marker, and B-cell marker.

A Study on Joke Misinterpretation in L2 Settings: Viewed from the Benign-Violation Theory

Hyun-jee Kang,오명기(Myung-ki Oh) 현대문법학회 2018 현대문법연구 Vol.99 No.-

Hyun-jee Kang and Myungki Oh. 2018. A Study on Joke Misinterpretation in L2 Settings: Viewed from The Benign-Violation Theory. Studies in Modern Grammar 99, 161-176. This paper examines cases in which Korean college students might misinterpret superiority, incongruity, and sarcastic English jokes. In parallel the writer tries to bring to light possible background reasons for their misinterpretation from the perspective of the Benign-Violation Theory’ concepts of norm violation, commitment, and psychological distance. Arguably Korean college students are likely to misinterpret English humor codes influenced by their ingrained belief system of strict moral standard as well as insufficient exposure to particular genres of English jokes.

김현진,현홍근,김정욱,이상훈,김종철,한세현,장기택 大韓小兒齒科學會 2010 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.37 No.1

많은 연구에서, 유치와 그 계승 영구치의 선천적 결손 간에는 상당한 연관관계가 있는 것을 보고하였다. 그러나 하악 전치부에서, 유치의 선천적 결손에도 불구하고, 그 계승 영구치는 정상적으로 존재하는 증례가 임상적으로 종종 관찰되기도 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국 어린이에서 하악 유절치와 그 계승 영구치의 선천적 결손 간의 상호 연관관계를 평가하는 데에 있다. 2005년 1월 1일부터 2008년 9월 5일까지 서울대학교치과병원에 내원하여 파노라마 방사선사진을 촬영한 6세 이하의 남녀 어린이 총 14,307명을 대상으로 하악 전치부의 치아양상을 관찰하여 유치와 영구치의 선천적 결손 관계를 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 하악 유절치의 결손률은 0.24%였으며, 하악 유절치가 존재 시 후속 영구치가 존재할 승산(odds)은 7163.5였으며, 유절치의 결손 시 후속 영구절치가 존재할 승산(odds) 0.79였다. 2. 하악 유절치 결손의 증례 중 후속 영구치가 모두 존재하는 경우는 44.12%였다. 유절치의 양측 결손 시 후속 영구치가 하나라도 존재할 승산(odds)은 유절치 편측 결손 시에 비하여 1.57 배였다. 3. 유절치 결손이 있을 때 유절치의 편측 결손일 승산(odds)은 여자가 남자에 비해 2.2 배였다. 또한, 유절치 결손이 있을 때 후속 영구절치가 존재할 승산(odds)은 남자가 여자의 경우에 비하여 2.22 배였다. Many studies have shown that there is a strong relationship between the congenitally missing primary teeth and their succedaneous permanent teeth. However, especially in case of lower anterior region, we can observe the existence of permanent teeth even though their precedent primary teeth were missed at times. The purpose of this study was to reveal the relationship between the congenitally missing primary lower anterior teeth and their succedaneous permanent teeth in Korean children. Total of 14,307 children, under 6 years of age, who attended the department of pediatric dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, Seoul, Korea from January 1st 2005 to September 5th 2008 were radiologically examined using the panoramic x-ray in order to analyze the relationship between the congenitally missing primary lower anterior teeth and their succedaneous permanent teeth. The results were as follows : 1. The prevalence of congenitally missing lower anterior teeth in primary dentition was 0.24%. The odds ratio of both the primary and permanent anterior teeth being present was 7163.5 and only the permanent anterior teeth being present was 0.79. 2. The percentage of all succedaneous permanent teeth being present was 44.12% in cases of missing lower primary anteriors. The odds ratio of at least one succedaneous permanent teeth being present in cases of bilateral primary anterior teeth missing was 1.57 times more common than in cases of unilateral primary teeth missing. 3. The odds ratio of primary missing teeth being unilateral was 2.2 times higher in females. Moreover, the odds ratio of succedaneous permanent teeth being present in cases of primary teeth missing was 2.22 times higher in males.

Gelatin 액화세균의 생장억제에 관한 연구

이기성,崔榮吉,趙賢淑 漢陽大學校 環境科學硏究所 1983 環境科學論文集 Vol.4 No.-

Gelatin 을 재료로 이용하는 식품의 폐기물에서 gelatin 을 액화시키는 능력이 특히 뛰어난 4종의 세균을 분리·동정하였으며, 배지내에 NaCI, KI·I₂, CuSO₄등의 억제제를 농도별로 처리했을때 나타나는 4균주의 생존도 및 액화능의 변화를 비교·검토하였고, 생존도에 미치는 pH의 영향도 조사하였다. 또한 MIC(Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) Test를 시행하여 항생제에 대한 4균주의 MIC도 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 4균주중 H strain은 Serratia liquefaciens로, Y₁strain은 Enterobacter속으로, Y₂와 Y₃strain 은 Pseudomonas 속으로 동정되었다. 2. 배지내에 억제제로 NaCl을 처리했을 경우, 7% 농도에서 생장이 100% 억제되었으며, KI·I₂처리시에는 20ppm 에서부터 생장이 억제되기 시작하여 100ppm에서는 4개의 균주 모두 100% 생장이 억제되었다. CuSO₄처리시에는 100ppm에서부터 억제효과를 나타내기 시작하여 300ppm에서는 거의 100% 억제 효과를 보였다. 생존도에 미치는 pH의 영향을 살펴본 결과, pH 5.0, 5.5, 6.0에서는 대조군과 동일한 생존도를 나타냈으나 pH 4.0, 4.5 에서는 100% 생장이 억제되었다. 분리 균주들의 액화능 비교에 있어서는 H strain 이 가장 뛰어난 액화능을 나타내었다. CuSO₄와 KI·I₂를 각각 3ppm, 10ppm의 저농도로 처리했을 경우 4균주의 액화능은 대체로 10∼20% 감소되었다. 3. 액화 능력이 가장 뛰어난 H strain 의 MIC 는 Penicillin G; 1∼5 ㎍/ml, Spectinomycin; 12.5∼25㎍/ml, Ampicillin; <0.05㎍/ml, Cefobid; <1㎍/ml, Claforan; 0.02∼0.3㎍/ml, Tetra-cycline; >10㎍/ml로 나타났다. Tetracycline을 제외한 5가지 항생제에 대하여 H strain이 Y strain들에 비해 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 Tetracycline의 경우에는 H strain이 Y strain들에 비하여 저항성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. Four strains of gelatin-liquefying bacteria were isolated from the sewage of the food using gelatin as the material. Treated with various concentration of NaCl, KI-I₂and CuSO₄in the culture medium and with various gradient of pH, viability of the four strains was examined and compared with each other. And also, gelatin liquefying ability was investigated in the normal culture condition and in accordance with the concentration of the inhibitor. Morever, MIC(Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) test for these strains was also carried out. The results were as follows: 1. Of the four isolated strains, the H strain was identified as Serratia liquefaciens, Y₁as the genus Enterobacter, Y₂and Y₃strains as the genus Pseudomonas. 2. Treating the culture medium with NaCl as the growth inhibitor, 7% concentration of NaCl inhibited completely the viability of all the isolated strains. Adding KI-I₂solution to the medium at the level of 20ppm, viability began to decrease and the inhibitory effect was shown 100% at 100ppm. Treated with CuSO₄at the level of 10ppm, viability began to decrease, and at 300ppm growth inhibition showed almost 100%. There was no significant difference in viability according to the pH gradient at the range of 5.0-6.0. However, at pH 4.0 and 4.5, 100% inhibitory effect on the growth was shown. Considered with the ability of gelatin liquefaction, the H strain among the four strains had the most rapid and strong ability in gelatin liquefaction. (That is, about 23 times more effective in gelatin liquefaction than that of Y₁strain) 3. Considered the MIC test, the H strain was more sensitive to Penicillin G(1-5 ㎍/ml), Spectinomycin(12.5-25㎍/ml), Ampicillin(<0.05㎍/ml), Cefobid(<1㎍/ml) and Claforan (0.02-0.3㎍/ml) than to those of the strains. Compared with the other strains, the H strain was more insensitive up to the level of 10㎍/ml to the minimal inhibitory concentration of Tetracycline.
