The aim of this work was to investigate the killing effect of the food-poisoning bacterium, Listeria monocytogenes exposed by tea polyphenol (TPP) extracted from green tea. The stress shock proteins, which contribute to the resistance of the cytotoxic effect of TPP, were induced at different TPP concentration in exponentially growing cultures of L. monocygenes. This response involved the induction of a 70-kDa DnaK and a 60-kDa GroEL monoclonal antibodies, characterized by SDS-PAGE and Western blot by the use of the anti-DanK and anti-GroEL monoclonal antibodies. Survival of L.monocytogenes with time in the presence of different concentrations of TPP was monitored, and viable counts paralleled the induction of the stress shock proteins in this strain. This strain killed in the concentration of 1,000㎍/㎖ TPP within 4 hours of incubation. Scanning electron microscopy for the cells treated with 1,000㎍/㎖ for 12 hours showed the presence of perforations and irregular rod shaped with wrinkled surfaces.

Dense deposit disease (DDD), known as type Ⅱ MPGN, is an uncommon form of glomerulonephritis. It is an acquired primary glomerular disease, characterised by electron microscopic evidence of a continous, dense membrane deposition replacing the lamina densa. There is associated alternative pathway complement activation and a C3 nephritic factor maybe present. Patients with dense deposit disease tend to be young at clincal onset and more commonly have persistent nephrotic syndrome, gross hematuria, and acute nephritis episode and persistent depression of the serum complement level. The prognosis of dense deposit disease is worse than that of typeⅠMPGN. We experienced a patient with dense deposit disease that presenting persistent nephrotic syndrome, gross hematuria and having subepithelial hump. It is a first report of dense deposit disease having subepithelial hump in Korea, therefore we report this case with the review of relevant literatures.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by the classic pentad of clinical features that includes microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurologic abnormalities, fever, and renal dysfunction. Early diagnosis and utilization of plasmapheresis can improve the survival rates of patients with TTP. TTP rarely may be seen in association with autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). We report here a 42-year-old female who was presented with severe digital gangrenes, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurologic abnormalities, fever, and renal dysfunction. Her condition responded to combined therapy with high dose steroid, immunosuppressants, and plasmapheresis therapy.

Colloidal gold nanoparticles might be of use as nano scale delivery systems of various therapeutic materials in the firture. Recent studies have reported the feasibility of colloidal gold nanoparticles as gene delivery systems or protein delivery systems. In this study, we aimed to develop a short-step method useful for screening the optimal coating conditions of colloidal gold nanoparticles with proteins. We observed that colloidal gold nanoparticles have properties of changing its unique color when they were exposed to NaCl solution. Taking advantage of the color changing properties of colloidal gold nano-particles, we applied the color testing method of colloidal gold nanoparticles solutions for evaluating the protein coating nature. Using bovine senim albumin as a model protein, we tested the protein coating of colloidal gold nanoparticles via the color change upon NaCl addition. The optimal coating concentration and coating conditions of colloidal gold nanoparticles with bovine serum albumin were fixed using the color testing methods. We suggest that the color testing method might be applied to optimize the coating condition of colloidal gold nanoparticles with other therapeutic proteins.

폐렴구균은 보통 폐렴이나 뇌막염을 일으키는 균으로 척수 경막외 농양을 일으키는 경우는 매우 드물다. 본 저자들은 폐렴 구균에 의한 척수 경막 외 농양을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다. 과거 건강했던 36세 남자 환자로 사다리에서 낙상한 후 요통 및 고열, 신경학적 이상으로 내원하여 자기 공명 촬영 결과 척수 경막 외 농양으로 진단받고 항균제 투여와 함께 응급 수술을 시행하였다. 농 배양 결과 페니실린 감수성인 폐렴 구균이 분리 되었고, 수술 요법과 항생제 투여 후 농양은 치유되었으나 신경학적 이상은 호전 없는 상태로 타원으로 전원되었다. Pneumonia and meningitis are the most frequent manifestations of pneumococcal infections. Pneumococcal spinal epidural abscesses have been rarely reported. Spinal epidural abscess by Streptococcus pneumoniae has been diagnosed among the patients with diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, corticosteroid therapy, intravenous drug use, chronic renal failure, AIDS, and history of spinal surgery. Recently, we experienced a case of pneumococcal spinal epidural abscess after spinal trauma. A 36-year-old male patient was admitted with back pain, fever, and paraplegia which occurred 5 days after the trauma. Spine MRI revealed spinal epidural abscess at the level from T2 to T9. He was treated with antimicrobial agents and surgical exploration for spinal epidural abscess. Pus culture grew S. pneumoniae which was susceptible to penicillin. Despite early surgical treatment, neurologic sequelae remained. Considering the high mortality and morbidity of pneumococcal spinal epidural abscess, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment including surgical intervention and antibiotics therapy should be implemented immediately.

Approximately, 7-10 million people in the world suffer from Parkinson``s disease (PO), Recently, increasing evi-dence has suggested the protective effect of estrogens against nigrostriatal dopaminergic damage in PD. In this study, we investigated whether estrogen affects l-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced behavioral impairment in estrogen receptor alpha (ERa)-deficient mice. MPTP (15 mg/kg, four times with l.5-h interval)-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration was evaluated in ERα wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice. Larger dopamine depletion, behavioral impairments (Rotarod test, Pole test, and Gait test), activation of mi-croglia and astrocytes, and neurointlammation after MPTP injection were observed in ERα KO mice compared to those in WT mice.Immunostaining for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) after MPTP injection showed fewerTH-positive neurons in ERα KO mice than WT mice. Levels of dopamine and 3,4-<lihydroxyphenylacetic acid (OOPAC, metab-olite of dopamine) were also lowered in ERα KO mice after MPTP injection. Interestingly, a higher immunoreac-tivity for monoamine oxidase (MAO) B was found in the substantia nigra and striatum of ERα KO mice after MPTP injection. We also found an increased activation of p38 kinase (which positively regulates MAO B expression) in ERα KO mice. In vitro estrogen treatment inhibited neuroinflammation in l-methyl-4-phenyl pyridium (MPP +)-treated cultured astrocyte cells; however, these inhibitory effects were removed by p38 inhibitor. These results indicate that ERα might be important for dopaminergic neuronal survival through inhibition of p38 pathway.

본 연구의 목적은 심부 상아질과 치수실 상아질에 H₂O₂를 각기 다른 적용시간과 농도로 적용하였을 때, 레진수복물과의 미세인장결합강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 준비된 각각의 치아에 전형적인 근관와동을 형성하고 다음과 같이 무작위로 1개의 대조군과, 4개의 실험군으로 나누었다: 1군, 전처리를 시행하지 않았다; 2군, 20% H₂O₂를 20분, 10분, 5분간 적용하였다; 3군, 10% 를 20분, 10분, 5분간 적용하였다; 4군 5% H₂O₂를 20분, 10분, 5분간 적용하였다; 5군, 2.5% H₂O₂를 20분, 10분, 5분간 적용하였다. 위와 같이 처리한 후 와동 내를 Superbond C&B(Sunmedical, Co., Shiga, Japan)로 충전하였다. 각 치아는 증류수에 24시간 저장한 뒤 심부 상아질과 치수실 상아질로 잘라 미세인장결합강도 시험을 시행하였다. 각 군에서 측정된 미세인장결합강도를 3-way ANOVA와 Tukey post hoc test로 통계 처리하였다(p < 0.05). 실험 결과 모든 군에서 심부 상아질(D1)의 미세인장 결합강도가 치수실 상아질(D2)보다 높게 나타났다. 평균 결합강도는 H₂O₂의 농도와 적용 시간이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 통계분석에서 상아질의 깊이, H₂O₂농도와 적용 시간이라는 세 가지 변수간의 교호작용 효과는 없으나(p > 0.05). 상아질의 깊이와 H₂O₂농도 사이, H₂O₂농도와 적용 시간 사이에서는 교호작용 효과가 있었다(p < 0.05). SEM 관찰에서는 H₂O₂의 농도가 증가할수록 상아세관이 좀 더 개방된 양상을 보였다. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hydrogen peroxide at different application time and concentrations on the microtensile bond strength of resin restorations to the deep and the pulp chamber dentin. A conventional endodontic access cavity was prepared in each tooth, and then the teeth were randomly divided into 1 control group and 4 experimental groups as follows: Group 1, non treated; Group 2, with 20% Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂); Group 3, with 10% H₂O₂; Group 4, with 5% H₂O₂; Group 5, with 2.5% H₂O₂; the teeth of all groups except group 1 were treated for 20, 10, and 5min. The treated teeth were filled using a Superbond C&B (Sun medical Co., Shiga, Japan). Thereafter, the specimens were stored in distilled water at for 24-hours and then sectioned into the deep and the chamber dentin. The microtensile bond strength values of each group were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test(p < 0.05). In this study, the microtensile bond strength of the deep dentin (D1) was significantly greater than that of the pulp chamber dentin (D2) in the all groups tested. The average of microtensile bond strength was decreased as the concentration and the application time of H₂O₂ were increased. Analysis showed significant correlation effect not only between the depth of the dentin and the concentration of H₂O₂ but also between the concentration of H₂O₂ and the application time(p < 0.05), while no significant difference existed among these three variables(p > 0.05). The higher H₂O₂ concentration, the more opened dentinal tubules under a scanning electron microscope(SEM) examination.
