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.

미래 사회를 대비하기 위한 개인의 개성을 존중과 창의적인 능력을 지닌 인간을 양성을 목적으로 충청남도 지역의 초 ㆍ 중고등학생들을 대상으로 한 창의력 경연대회가 공주대학교 과학교육연구소에서 개최되었다. 충청남도 초 ㆍ중 ㆍ 고등학생들을 대상으로 실시한 창의력 경연대회는 창조적 아이디어를 내어 스스로 문제를 해결해 나갈 수 있는 교육 프로그램을 제공하는 좋은 기회였음이 확인되었으나, 일부의 팀에서만 참신하고 재미있는 아이디어들이 제안되었다. 여학생의 참가자 수가 상당히 증가하였으며, 대체적으로 입상권의 학생들의 상당 부분이 여학생이라는 것이 특이할만하다. 학년이 올라감에 따라서 창의적인 아이디어를 내는 양이나 질에 있어서 뒤떨어지는 것으로 분석되었으며, 토론 학습의 적응력이 미흡하고 발표력 및 청취력에 있어서도 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중 ㆍ고등학교의 학교교육에서도 학생들에게 프로젝트형 탐구학습 프로그램의 적용은 물론 토론식 수습을 통한 학생들의 사고의 전환의 기회를 제공해야 할 것으로 사료된다. The creativity competition was held to foster the creativity of elementary and secondary school students in the Institute of Science Education, Kongju national University. It was found that the creativity competition effected on the improvement of inventing creative ideas and problem solving activities. But, only some competitors participated in semifinal and final contests, presented original and interesting ideas. More female students participated in competition than last year. More female participants were awarded a prize than males. Totally, participants were defective in discussion and communication, and presentation and listening ideas. Increasing grades correlated inversely with creativity and originality. There is need of inquiry project teaming programs and presenting opportunities of conversion of thinking by discussing instructions in school

Objective : Altered expression of cell adheion molecules is associated with biologic behavior of tumor. The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression pattern of E-cadherin, β-catenin and p53 protein according to histologic grade and invasion pattern of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and the relationship between E-cadherin, β-catenin and p53 protein expression. Methods and Material : The materials were fifty seven cses of squamous cell carcinoma, and clinicl parameers such as age, sex, tumor location, stage and recurrence were recorded. Histologic review was done based on histologic grade and invasion pattern(nodular vs infiltrative). Immunohistochemical stains for E-cadherin and β-ca tenin were interpreted based on staining pattern as los of membranous expression and cytoplasmic expression and p53 protein expression was defined as positive if more than 10% of nuclei were reactive. Statistical analysis between E-cadherin, β-catenin and p53 protein expressions and histologic grade and invasion pattern and the relationship between E-cdherin, β-catenin and p53 protein expressions were perfomed. Results : There wa positive correlation between higher histologic grade and infiltrative pattern. Loss of membranous expression and cytoplasmic expression of E-cadherin were noted in 33.3% and 57.9%, respectively, and loss of membranous expression of E-cadherin showed increaing tendency in poorly differentiated carcinomas, however, there was no significant difference of cytoplasmic expression rate of E-cadherin according to histoogic grade. Altered expression of E-cadherin was more frequent in poorly differentiated carcinomas. Loss of membranous expression and cytoplasmic expression of E-cadherin were more frequent in carinomas with infiltrative pattern than in carcinomas with nodular pattern, but their diferences were not significant, Loss of membranous expression and cytoplasmic expression of β-catenin were observed in 19.3% and 80.7%, respectively. Loss of membranous expression of β-catenin howed no positive correlation according to histologic grade and invasion pattern, but cytoplasmic expression rate of β-catenin was higher in poorly differentiated carcinomas and in carcinomas with infiltrative pettern. p53 protein expression rate was 45.6%, and showed invreasing tendency in poorly differentiated carcinomas, but no significant relationship with invasion pattern. There was an inverse relationship of loss of membranous expression and cytoplasmic expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin. Altered expression of E-cadherin was related to cytoplasmic expression of β-catenin, however, there were no significant relationship between altered expressions of E-cadherin and β-catenin and p53 protein expression. Conclusion : In squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, altered expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin was more frequent in poorly differentiated carcinomas and in carcinomas with infiltrative pattern and there was positive correlation betwween altered expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin. These findings suggest that altered expressions of E-cadherin and β-catenin may have a role in the development of squamous cell carcinomas with aggressive biologic behavior. but altered explosions of E-cadherin and β-catenin. These findings suggest that altered expressions of E-cdherin and β-catenin my have a role in the development of squmaous cell carcinomas with aggressive biologic behavior. But altered expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin might not be related to p53 protein expression. Further study on genetic mutation related to altered expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin will be needed

Background : Coding of principal diagnosis is essential component for producing reliable health statistics. We performed this study to evaluate the current practice of principal diagnoses determination and coding, and to give some basic data to improve coding of principal diagnosis. Method : Nineteen medical record administrators(MRAs) of 3 university hospitals participated in coding principal Dx. From August 1, 2001 to August 31, 2001. From each hospital, 10 medical records of patients with high frequency disease were selected randomly. Each 10 medical records were grouped into three(A,B,C). Then, these 30 medical records were given to each MRAs for coding. At the same time questionnaire was given to each of them. Questions were to prove how they decide and code the principal diagnosis among many current diagnoses ; how they decide and code the principal diagnosis when day see irrelevant diagnosis recorded as the principal diagnosis in medical record, when only tentative diagnoses were recorded without final diagnosis, and when different diagnoses were recorded in different sheets of same record. Agreement of coding among 3 hospitals were compared and survey results were analysed with SAS 6.12. Results : Agreement of coding was found in medical records 5-6 of each 10 medical records. Causes of disagreement were as follows. Difference of clinician’s opinion from each hospital; mixed use of guideline from KCD-3 and guideline from DRG; difference in 4th digit classification according to the absence of pathology report in the medical record; difference of abbreviations among hospitals. 57.9% of decided principal diagnosis after consulting to KCD-3 guideline. When there were difficulties in determining the principal diagnosis, 42.1% of MRAs decided principal diagnosis after discussion with the physician, 26.3% after discussion with fellow MRAs. Conclusion : There were differences in coding among hospitals. To minimize the difference, we suggest the development of disease-specific guidelines for coding in addition to the current general guideline such as KCD-3. To do this, Coding Clinic which can produce guidelines is needed.

강인석,곽중민,박서영,이동희,김창학 경상대학교 생산기술연구소 2001 工學硏究院論文集 Vol.1 No.-

The current trend of If (Information Technology) in 21st century demands management innovation, that is Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in all the industry including construction project. The solution of its demand is proposed by IT based on Internet. And also, in order to meet this objective, from 1997 domestic construction industry is accelerating to systematize CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) which is being planned to apply by government. These efforts give much weight to build computer systems rather than to improve and redesign construction business process that is more important for system application. This research develops a model for applying the BPR to construction industry, especially construction site that is a base to build a system for CALS. And the research suggests performing method, process and modeling technique of BPR to be applicable in business process redesign of construction field. Also, focusing on the research of execution step of business in construction site will be helpful for the site worker to perform BPR in construction site.

이태희,최요원,전석철,서흥석,함창곡,박충기 한양대학교 의과대학 1998 한양의대 학술지 Vol.18 No.2

We evaluated CT findings of the small cell carninoma, which presented as a solitary pulmonary nodule at the periphery of the lung parenchyma. Of pathologically-proven 45 patients with small cell carcinoma, 10 patients was included in this study, who had a solitary, peripheral lung nodule at distal portion of the subsegmental bronchus. We retrospectively reviewed clinical data and CT findings including size, location, margin, enhancement pattern, lymph node enlargement, metastasis. Peripheral small cell carcinomas were 22.2%(10/45). All masses had well-defined margin and lobulated margin was seen in 7 patients. Mean diameter was 3.8cm (2.5-7.0cm). Enhancement pattern were homogeneous in 3 cases and inhomogeneous in seven. Calcification or air-bronchogram was not present, and focal cavitation was seen in one case. In five, only lung mass was present, and lung mass with lymph node enlargement was seen in one. distant metastasis without lymph node enlargement was noted on two patients and another two patients showed lymph node enlargement and distant metastasis. Peripheral small cell carcinoma is not rare(22.2%). Most frequent CT finding is a well-defined, lobulated mass with inhomogeneous enhancement, these findings would be helpful in differentiating small cell carcinoma from other neuroendocrine tumors when differentiataion is difficult cytologically.

곽종흠,서명석,이태희,곽서연 公州大學校 基礎科學硏究所 2004 自然科學硏究 Vol.11 No.-

본 연구에서는 공주대학교 자연대 옥상에 설치된 분광복사측정기의 일종인 Skyradiometer로 측정된 직달 및 산란 일사량을 이용하여 간접적으로 공주지역의 에어러솔의 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석기간은 2004년 1월부터 11월까지이며 에어러솔의 광학적 특성의 분석에 활용된 알고리즘은 Nakajima et al.(1996)이 개발한 Skyrad.pack.3이다. 주요 분석요소는 에어러솔의 광학두께(AOT), 단일 산란비율(SSA), 옹그스토롬 지수(α) 및 에어러솔의 크기별 분포이며 분석결과의 질을 높이기 위하여 초기 관측 자료의 품질검사를 수행하였다. 공주지역의 11개월 평균 AOT, α 및 SSA는 각가 0.6, 1.1, 그리고 0.9이며 계절 및 기상현상에 따라 큰 시간변동을 보이고 있다. 크기별 입자분포에서는 미세입자와 조대입자에서 최대치가 나타나는 바이 모달 형태를 보이고 있으며 황사(Asian dust) 기간인 봄철에는 조대입자의 총 부피가 크게 증가하였다. 이러한 현상은 봄철동안에 AOT와 SSA가 각각 크게 증가하고 감소하는 점에서도 확인되고 있다. 또한 공주지역의 에어러솔은 풍향에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타나고 있다. We investigate the optical properties of aerosols over Gongju by indirect method using the ground measurement, Skyradiometer. The analysis period is from January to November, 2004. Skyrad.pack.3 is used to estimate the optical properties, such as the aerosol optical thickness(AOT), single scattering albedo(SSA), Angstrom exponent(α) and size distribution, of aerosols from the ground measured radiance data. And quality control process is applied to the raw data to improve the quality of analysis results. The 11-month average of AOT, α and SSA are 0.6, 1.1, and 0.9 respectively. The averaged volume spectra of aerosols show a bi-modal distribution, first peak at fine mode and second peak at coarse mode. Asian dust events clearly increase the AOT and coarse particle, however it decrease the SSA. The effect of wind direction on the optical properties of aerosols over Gonju is not manifest.

연구목적: 진성 복압성 요실금의 치료법으로서 복강경을 이용한 Burch 수술을 타수술법과 비교하여 그 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 진성 복압성 요실금을 주소로 본원 비뇨기과에서 수술을 시행받은 44명의 환자를 수술법별로 분류하여 수술법에 따른 성공률, 수술 시간, 입원 기간 및 합병증의 빈도를 비교 분석 하였다. 결과: 전체 환자에서 수술 성공률은 86.4% 였으며 이들 중 복강경을 이용한 Burch 수술군에서는 성공률이 100% 이었다. 복강경을 이용한 Burch 수술군은 타수술군에 비하여 입원 기간이 짧았다. 복강경을 이용한 Burch 수술군은 합병증이 매우 경미하였으며 전체 환자의 31.8%에서 단기간의 배뇨곤란을 호소하였으나 장기간의 배뇨곤란은 없었으며 슬링 수술군에서는 3례(16.7%)에서 심한 절박성 요실금을 호소하였다. 결론: 복강경을 이용한 Burch 수술은 높은 치료 성공률과 낮은 합병증의 빈도를 나타내어 진성 복압성 요실금의 치료에서 매우 우수한 수술법으로 사료된다. Purpose: We performed this study to investigate the usefulness of laparoscopic Burch colposuspension as a treatment of genuine stress incontinence compare to other anti-incontinence operation. Materials and Methods : We analyzed success rate, operation time, admission day, and complication rate of various anti-incontinence operations in 44 genuine stress incontinence patients who have been received operation in our hospital. Results : Overall success rate was 86.4%, but laparoscopic Burch coposuspension showed 100% success rate. Laparoscopic Burch colposuspension required shorter admission day compared to other anti-incontinence oparations. Complication rate was lower in laparoscopic Burch colposuspension group. Short-term voiding problems were identified in 31.8% of total patients but 3 patients(16.7%) who have received sling operation complained severe urge incontinence. Conclusion : Laparoscopic Burch colposuspension is considered as an effective surgical method for genuine stress incontinence due to high success rate and low complication rate.
