<P>In this study, the hepatoprotective effects of hyperoside (<B>1</B>), a flavonoid glycoside isolated from <I>Artemisia capillaris</I>, have been examined against carbon tetrachloride (CCl<SUB>4</SUB>)-induced liver injury. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with vehicle or <B>1</B> (50, 100, and 200 mg·kg<SUP>−1</SUP>) 30 min before and 2 h after CCl<SUB>4</SUB> (20 μL·kg<SUP>−1</SUP>) injection. Levels of serum aminotransferases were increased 24 h after CCl<SUB>4</SUB> injection, and these increases were attenuated by <B>1</B>. Histological analysis showed that <B>1</B> prevented portal inflammation, centrizonal necrosis, and Kupffer cell hyperplasia. Lipid peroxidation was increased and hepatic glutathione content was decreased significantly after CCl<SUB>4</SUB> treatment, and these changes were reduced by administration of <B>1</B>. Protein and mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and nuclear protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) significantly increased after CCl<SUB>4</SUB> injection. Compound <B>1</B> suppressed TNF-α, iNOS, and COX-2 protein and mRNA expression and augmented HO-1 protein and mRNA expression and Nrf2 nuclear protein expression. These results suggest that <B>1</B> has protective effects against CCl<SUB>4</SUB>-induced acute liver injury, and this protection is likely due to enhancement of the antioxidative defense system and suppression of the inflammatory response.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/jnprdf/2011/jnprdf.2011.74.issue-5/np200001x/production/images/medium/np-2011-00001x_0006.gif'></P>

Excretory urography is a type of contrast study used to verify and localize upper urinary tract disease. It is an inexpensive and easy way to visualize of anatomic and functional status of the kidney and has been used as a primary imaging modality for the evaluation of urinary tract abnormalities. We describe urological signs of 7 dogs who examined with excretory urography and ultrasonography. Six cases were referred to veterinary medical teaching hospital. Chungnam national university (VMTH, CNU) to evaluate renal function after the treatment for renal failure and one case was referred showing hematuria. In case 1, 2 and 4, blood test and urinalysis was normal and the results of excretory urography presented that renal function were normal range. In case 3, the results of urinalysis, ultrasonography, and excretory urography except blood test presented abnormal kidney and hydronephrosis was diagnosed. In case 5 and 6, blood test, urinalysis, ultrasonography and excretory urography indicated renal failure. In case 7, blood test, urinalysis and ultrasonography presented partially abnormal signs, however, the results of excretory urography was normal range.

The purpose of this study was to investigate cardiovascular responses to a bout of aerobic exercise and acute smoking cessation in smoker. nine collegiate male smoker who have been smoking(duration of smoking: 7.5 ± 0.9yrs; number of cigarettes per day: 15.5 ± 1.5) participated in this study. All subjects performed PEI to stimulate Group IV metaboreceptor at immediately after smoking, 24hours after smoking cessation and smoking after a bout of aerobic exercise. they were measured SBP, DBP, HR, SV, CO, TVC using by finometer(FMS co, Netherland). As a result, compared to immediately after smoking, SBP, DBP, and MAP were significantly decreased 24-hours after smoking cessation at rest and PEI(p<0.05). In addition, smoking after a bout of aerobic exercise caused by post-exercise hypotension indicated that SBP was significantly decreased compared to immediately after smoking(p<0.05). also, the changes in DBP and MAP at rest and handgrip exercise were significantly smaller compared to immediately after smoking(p<0.05). Thus, the results showed that smoking cessation during 24-hours and a bout of aerobic exercise relieve excess blood pressure response and enhanced arterial baroreflex in collegiate male smoker. It is concluded that caused exercise pressor reflex by stimulated Group IV may be effective to improve excess blood pressure responses.

저자들은 다발성 뇌 농양을 동반한 치명적인 파종성 S. apiospermum 감염이 발생한 간 이식 환자를 경험하였다. 본 증례의 환자는 voriconazole로 치료하는 호전경과를 보이다가 진균성 뇌 동맥류 파열로 사망하였다. S. apio-spermum은 비교적 드문 진균으로 병리학적으로 Aspergillus spp.와 매우 유사하고 amphotericin B에 내성을 나타내므로 진단과 치료가 적절하게 이루어지지 못할 가능성이 많고 면역 기능 저하 환자에서 혈행성 전파를 통한 파종성 감염이 용이하게 발생하므로 높은 사망률을 나타낸다. 이식 환자를 비롯한 면역 기능 저하 환자에서 진균감염이 의심될 때 S. apiospermum과 같은 드문 진균에 의한 감염증도 감별진단에 포함해야 하겠다. Sedosporium apiospermum is a saprophytic fungus commonly found in soil and polluted water. This organism is known as a cause of mycetoma, which may occur in immunocompetent hosts following trauma. However, in immunocompromised patients, S. apiospermum can also cause life-threatening invasive disease, including central nervous system infection or disseminated infection. We report a fatal case of disseminated S. apiospermum infection in a 46-year-old woman after liver transplantation. Eight days postoperatively, she developed pneumonia, followed by altered mentality in the 15 days. A head CT demonstrated multiple brain abscesses. Sputum and stereotactic-aspirated brain abscess culture yielded S. apiospermum. Despite treatment with voriconazole, the patient died of intracranial hemorrhage.

The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of radiographic lesion size, gender, age of patients and radiographic character to the diagnosis of periapical cyst and granuloma. The data was collected from 187 periapical lesions of 167 patients who undergone apical surgery at Department of Conservative Dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from 2003 to 2005. The lesion were surgically removed and send for biopsy to the Oral Pathology Laboratory. From the initial radiograph, lesion size was calculated using PiViweSTAR (INFINITT, Korea) program. The obtained data were statistically evaluated using SPSS (p<0.05). The result were as followings: 1. From 187 biopsy samples, the incidence of periapical cyst was 28.34% and granuloma was 65.24%. 2. There was a significant correlation between periapical cyst and the size of radiographic lesion (p<0.01). 3. There were no significant correlations between age, gender, location of lesion and the final diagnosis (p>0.05). 4. There was a significant correlation between the non-demarcation of the lesion and the incidence of periapical granuloma (p<0.01). 본 연구는 2003년부터 2005년까지 서울대학교 치과병원 보존과에 내원한 환자 중 치근단수술을 시행한 환자 167명에서 생검을 위해 적출한 187개의 치근단병소를 대상으로 하였다. 수술 후 조직검사 결과 얻은 진단명과 환자의 진단기록에서 환자의 성별, 나이, 발병 부위, 방사선 사진 상의 특징 그리고 병소의 크기와의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 초진시 방사선 사진에서 치근단병소의 크기를 PiViewSTAR (INFINITT, Korea)를 이용하여 화소를 계산함으로써 면적을 구하였다. 이를 바탕으로 통계 분석프로그램 SPSS (version 12.0K, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA)를 이용해 방사선사진상 크기와 진단명과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 나이와 진단명과의 상관관계는 일원배치 분산분석을 시행하고 성별, 부위, 방사선사진상의 특징과 진단명과의 상관관계는 교차분석을 통해 카이제곱검정으로 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 187의 치근단병소 조직검사결과 치근단병소 중 치근단낭종의 비율은 28.34%, 육아종의 비율은 65.24%, 기타병소의 비율은 6.42%로 나타났다. 2. 방사선사진상 병소의 크기가 커질수록 치근단 낭종일 확률이 높았다(p<0.01). 3. 나이, 성별, 발병부위와 진단명사이에서 유의 한 상관관계가 없었다(p>0.05). 4. 병소의 경계가 명확하지 않은 것과 치근단육아종의 발생빈도는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01).

최청,김태완,안봉전,김영활,손준호,김성,최희준 한국미생물생명공학회 ( 구 한국산업미생물학회 ) 1996 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.24 No.1

본 효소의 최적 반응온도는 약 45℃이고, 최적 pH는 10.0 정도였고, pH 7.0~10.0 범위와 30~50℃의 범위에서 안정하였다. 금속이온중 Mn^2+, Ca^2+ 등에 의하여 활성이 증대되었으나 Fe^2+, Pb^2+와 Zn^2+ 등에 의해서는 효소 활성이 저해되었고, 효소활성 저해제 중 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA)에 의해 강한 저해작용을 나타내어 본 효소는 효소분자 중 금속이온이 관여하는 것으로 추정되었다. 효소반응 처리한 olive oil 가수분해물을 박충크로마토그래피 분석한 결과 Serratia liquefaciens AL-11이 생산하는 지방분해효소는 기질특이성이 비특이적이었으며, sodium cholate, sodium edoxychol-ate, sodium taurocholate 등의 담즙산염에 의해 효소활성이 증대되었다. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were 45℃ and 10.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH range of 5 to 10, and 62% of its activity was lost on heat treatment at 60℃ for 20 min. The activity of the purified enzyme was inhibited by Fe^2+, Zm^2+ and Pb^2+, and slightly activated by Mn^2+ and Ca^2+. γ-Chloromercuribenzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrophenol and H_2O_2 did not show inhibitory effect on the lipolytic activity of the alkaline lipase but ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid inhibited the enzyme activity. This suggested that the enzyme have metal group in its active site. Sodium salts of bile acids stimulated the enzyme activity. Analysis of hydrolyzates of olive oil after the lipase reaction revealed that Serratia liquefaciens AL-11 produced non-specific lipolytic enzyme.

Firewall 시스템 분석 및 Viruswall과의 통합(Integration) 방안에 관한 연구

최준호,김판구 조선대학교 전자정보통신연구소 2001 電子情報通信硏究所論文誌 Vol.4 No.1

Many kinds of viruses have been occurring in the computer systems. These are able to destroy some critical data and even make the computer system halt their function. Consequently, its damage was enormous. So we need a more efficient method that detects the computer viruses, different from the existing one. As first storage-second detecting method which is inspected by supervisor after storing in the file system can't confront actively the virus intrusion, we propose viruswall system which is able to play a role in warning and data blocking in this paper. In addition, we propose the method that integrates into viruswall system for virus detection and blocking in order to introduce firewall system for this system design.

3차원 형상을 모델링하기 위해서는 CSG-tree, B-rep등의 데이터구조를 바탕으로하여, rounding, filleting, sweeping, boolean operation 등의 방법을 이용하여 형상을 모델링하게 되는데, 본 연구에서는 민코스키 연산을 이용하여 2차원상에서 곡선경계를 가지는 형상의 블랜딩을 구현해보고, 민코스키 연산을 이용하여, 일반적인 형상을 가지는 두 물체사이의 중간 형상을 자동으로 생성하게 하므로서, 민코스키 연산의 형상모델링 도구로서의 응용 가능성을 검토해 보았다. 민코스키 합을 구현하기위한 방법으로 convex decomposition을 이용했으며, 경계곡선을 근사화하는 과정에서 곡선을 생성하고 표현하기 위해서 biarc spline curve를 이용하였다. 두 형상에 가중치를 주어 두형상 사이의 점차적인 변화를 계산했다. Rounding, filleting, sweeping, and Boolean operations are the most popular tools for three dimensional modeling operation. In this paper the concept of Minkowski sum, that is vector sum of two sets, is adopted for the new tool in geometric modeling. Using the concept of Minkowski sum, shape blending operation of the two 2D polygons and curved boundary 2D shapes are implemented and demonstrated. Convex decomposition of arbitrary 2D polygon and curve approximation techniques are used in the process of the operation.

말기신부전 환자의 혈색소 순환 : 투석 방식에 따른 양상 비교 및 관련 인자들에 대한 고찰

최재혁,김준섭,원기범,박준형,탁우택,이정호 동국대학교 의학연구소 2009 東國醫學 Vol.15 No.2

혈색소 순환은 말기신부전 환자에서 인체 재조합 적혈구 조혈 인자를 투여하여 빈혈을 치료하는 동안 빈번히 관찰되며 이는 환자의 입원과 사망률과 관계가 있다고 알려져 있다. 이에 저자는 투석중인 말기 신부전 환자를 대상으로 혈색소 순환 양상과 이와 연관된 인자들을 알아보고자 하였다. 혈색소 순환의 관련 인자들을 알아보기 위하여 투석 치료를 받고 있는 환자 40명 (혈액투석 환자군: 20형, 복막투석 환자군: 20명)을 대상으로 투석 시작부터 1년 동안의 환자의 나이와 성별, 투석시작 1년간의 평균 Hb, 수혈 횟수, 총입원 횟수, 감염으로 인한 입원 횟수, 혈청 ferritin 농도, 혈청 transferrin saturation (TSAT), 철분제제 복용 유무, 일주일 동안 투여된 rHuEPO 양, rHuEPO의 변화량, 알부민, C-reactive protein (CRP) 및 입원 원인 등을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 전체 환자 40명 중 33명 (82.5%)에서 혈색소 순환이 관찰되었다. 혈액투석 환자군에 비해 복막투석 환자군에서 혈색소 순환 첫수가 유의하게 높았다 (p=0.037).혈색소 순환 발생군과 혈색소 순환 미발생군의 관련인자들을 비교하였을 경우 혈색소 순환 발생군에서 총 입원 첫수 (p=0.01), 감염으로 인한 입원 횟수 (p=0.036)가 유의하게 많았으며, 혈중 알부민 수치는 유의하게 낮았다 (p=0.003).그러나 두 군간의 나이, 성별, 수혈 횟수, 혈청 ferritin농도, 혈청 transferrin saturation (TSAT) 및 혈청 철분 농도는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈색소 순환의 빈도는 일주일 동안 투여된 r-HuEPO변화량과 양의 상관관계를 보였고 (p=0.003),혈중 알부민 수치와 음의 상관관계를 보였다 (p=0.013). 복막투석 환자군에서 혈액투석 환자군에 비해 혈색소 순환이 유의하게 높게 발생하였다. 일주일 동안 투여된 r-HuEPO 변화량, 입원 및 혈청 알부민 수치는 투석 시작부터 1년 동안의 혈색소 순환과 관련이 있었다. Hemoglobin cycling is frequently observed during treatment of anemia with recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) it is also reported to be associated with hospitalization and morbidity. We analyzed hemoglobin cycling and potential associated factors in patients on dialysis. Forty new dialysis patients (20 hemodialysis, HD and 20 peritoneal dialysis, PD) were recruited during their first year. Age, gender, mean hemoglobin level, frequency of transfusion, frequency of hospital admission, frequency of admission due to infection, serum ferritin, transferrine saturation, iron levels, rHuEPO dose per week, serum albumin, and c-reactive protein were retrospectively evaluated in order to examine the possible correlations with hemoglobin cycling. Thirty-three patients (82.5%) were identified in the hemoglobin cycling group. The PD group had a higher frequency of hemoglobin cycling than did the HD group (p=0.037). The hemoglobin cycling group showed a significantly higher frequency of hospital admission (P=0.001), admission due to infection (p=0.036) and a lower serum albumin level (p=0.003) than the other group, but there was no significant difference between the groups for age, gender, frequency of transfusion, serum ferritin, transferrine saturation, and iron levels. The frequency of hemoglobin cycling showed a positive correlation with the i-HuEPO dose variation per week (p=0.003) and a negative correlation with serum albumin level (p=0.013). The PD group had a higher frequency of hemoglobin cycling than the HD group, and the change of rHuEPO dose per week, hospitalization and serum albumin were associated with the hemoglobin cycling during the first year of dialysis.
