Fipronil, the phenylpyrazole insecticide, is effective and used in various fields. Especially, fipronil was reliable because it was known to be specific on invertebrate animals than vertebrate animals including mammals. However, fipronil had potential risks that affect vertebrate animals as it blocks the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors that also exists in vertebrates as well as invertebrates. Therefore, it was necessary that harmful effects of fipronil on vertebrates are clarified. For this purpose, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) were used on behalf of vertebrate animals in present study. The zebrafish were exposed to 5 µg/L, 25 µg/L, and 50 µg/L of fipronil during 12, 24 and 72 hours. To closely observe toxic process, 12 hours and 24 hours of additional time point were set in the exposure test. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics is an approach to detect metabolic changes in organism resulted from external stimuli. In this study, NMR-based metabolomics showed the metabolic changes in zebrafish caused by fipronil exposure. Metabolic analysis revealed that fipronil interfered with energy metabolism and decreased the antioxidant ability in zebrafish. Antioxidant ability decline was remarkable at high exposure concentration. In addition, metabolic analysis results over time suggested that reactions for alleviating the excessive nerve excitation occurred in zebrafish after fipronil exposure. Through this study, it was elucidated that the adverse effects of fipronil on vertebrate animals are evident. The risk of fipronil on vertebrates can be no longer ignored. Moreover, this study has a meaning of practically necessary research for organism by examining the effects of fipronil at low concentrations existed in real environment.

Purpose : Acute respiratory tract infections are the most common illnesses in children. The great majority of these infections involving lower respiratory tracts infections(LRTI) are caused by respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus(RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), influenza virus(INF), adenovirus(ADV), etc. Our purpose of this study was to examine the seasonal occurrence, clinical and laboratory features of each viral infections. Methods : Nasopharyngeal aspirates(NPA) were collected from 913 hospitalized children on the first day of admission. They were all admitted to Hangang Sacred Heart hospital and diagnosed as LRTIs. The study period was from September 1998 to August 2002. Specimens were inoculated onto HEp-2 cell, LLC-MK2 cell and MDCK cell. Viruses were detected by immunofluorescent method performed at day 10 postinoculation. Respiratory viruses were detected in 251(27%) cases. Medical records of 208 cases diagnosed as acute LRTIs were all taken reviewed and analyzed. Results : The identified pathogens were RSV 122 cases(58%), PIV 30 cases(14%), INFA 20 cases(10%), INFB 21 cases(11%) and ADV 15 cases(7%) during the study period. Outbreaks of RSV infections occurred every year but mostly on December, 1998 and November, 1999. LRTIs by PIV and ADV occurred during all seasons of the year. INFA was isolated moslty on March, 1999 and January, 2000. INFB infections occurred largely on April, 2002. The clinical diagnoses were bronchiolitis 88 cases(43%), pneumonia 87 cases(42%), croup 19 cases(9%) and tracheobronchitis 14 cases(6%). Common symptoms and signs were cough, rhinorrhea, sputum and fever. WBC counts in peripheral blood showed normal findings in 123 cases(59%). Each viral infections also showed some differences in auscultatory findings and chest X-ray findings. Conclusion : We learned that viruses are one of the major and important etiologic agents of acute LRTIs of children in Korea. However, we still need to find out more about its characteristic clinical features and continue studying on their seasonal occurrence to focus on their management and also prevention. 목 적 : 바이러스는 소아 하기도 감염증의 가장 흔한 원인으로 소아에서 흔히 이환되어 모세기관지염, 폐렴, 크룹, 기관 기관지염 등의 하기도 감염을 일으키는 원인 바이러스들의 유행 및 임상 양상을 조사하기 위해 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방 법 : 1998년 9월부터 2002년 8월까지 한림대학교 한강성심병원 소아과에 급성 호흡기 감염증으로 입원했던 환아 중 총 913례에서 비인두 흡인물을 채취하여 바이러스 배양 및 단일 클론 항체를 이용한 면역 형광 검사법으로 251례(27%)에서 호흡기바이러스가 분리되었다. 그 중 모세기관지염, 폐렴, 크룹, 기관 기관지염 등의 급성 하기도 감염증으로 진단 받은 208례의 의무기록을 후향적으로 고찰하였다. 결 과 : 1) RSV가 122례(58%)로 가장 많았고, PIV 30례(14%), INFB 21례(11%), INFA 20례(10%), ADV 15례(7%) 순이었다. 2) 발생시기는 RSV의 경우 1998년 12월과 1999년 11월에 많이 발생하였다.

Objectives The Sasang Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) measures the Yin-Yang temperament of Sasang typology with proven structural and clinical validity in adults, however it was not examined with teenagers. The purpose of this study was to validate the biopsychological structure of SPQ in middle school students.Methods 681 Korean high school students (356 boys and 325 girls) completed SPQ, Junior version of Temperament and Character Inventory (JTCI), and height and weight measures. The correlation between SPQ and JTCI subscales were examined, and the differences of SPQ and JTCI subscales, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Pondera Index (PI) among high (30%), middle (40%), and low (30%) SPQ total score groups were investigated with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The profile analysis was also performed to compare JTCI subscale profiles of three SPQ total score groups.Results The SPQ score was significantly (p<0.001) correlated positively with JTCI Novelty-Seeking and negatively with JTCI Harm-Avoidance. The JTCI Novelty-Seeking score of high SPQ group was significantly (p<0.001) higher than that of low SPQ group, and the JTCI Harm-Avoidance score of low SPQ group was significantly higher than that of high SPQ group. The JTCI subscale profiles for three SPQ groups were significantly different for boys and girls. Significant correlations or differences for the PI and BMI among SPQ groups were not found.Conclusions This study presented that the biopsychological structure of SPQ is robust as shown in adults. The SPQ would be a useful clinical measures of Sasang typology in pediatric patients.

Low-Level Expression of CD138 Marks Naturally Arising Anergic B Cells

이수진,Yang Jeong In,Lee Joo Hee,Lee Hyun Woo,Kim Tae Jin 대한면역학회 2022 Immune Network Vol.22 No.6

Autoreactive B cells are not entirely deleted, but some remain as immunocompetent or anergic B cells. Although the persistence of autoreactive B cells as anergic cells has been shown in transgenic mouse models with the expression of B cell receptor (BCR) reactive to engineered self-antigen, the characterization of naturally occurring anergic B cells is important to identify them and understand their contribution to immune regulation or autoimmune diseases. We report here that a low-level expression of CD138 in the splenic B cells marks naturally arising anergic B cells, not plasma cells. The CD138int B cells consisted of IgMlowIgDhigh follicular (FO) B cells and transitional 3 B cells in homeostatic conditions. The CD138int FO B cells showed an anergic gene expression profile shared with that of monoclonal anergic B cells expressing engineered BCRs and the gene expression profile was different from those of plasma cells, age-associated B cells, or germinal center B cells. The anergic state of the CD138int FO B cells was confirmed by attenuated Ca2+ response and failure to upregulate CD69 upon BCR engagement with anti-IgM, anti-IgD, anti-Igκ, or anti-IgG. The BCR repertoire of the CD138int FO B cells was distinct from that of the CD138− FO B cells and included some class-switched B cells with low-level somatic mutations. These findings demonstrate the presence of polyclonal anergic B cells in the normal mice that are characterized by low-level expression of CD138, IgM downregulation, reduced Ca2+ and CD69 responses upon BCR engagement, and distinct BCR repertoire.

구지뽕 나무의 엽록체 TrnL-F 영역 염기서열 분석을 통한 특이적 SNP 분자마커의 확인

이수진,신용욱,김윤희,이신우,Lee, Soo Jin,Shin, Yong-Wook,Kim, Yun-Hee,Lee, Shin-Woo 한국식물생명공학회 2017 식물생명공학회지 Vol.44 No.2

구지뽕 나무(Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau)는 일반적으로 이용되는 대표적인 다년생의 약용식물이다. 최근 국제적 추세에 따라 자국의 유전자원의 발굴, 보존 등이 강화됨에 따라 인접국가와 국내 자생 꾸지뽕 계통을 판별 할 수 있는 기준설정에 관한 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있지만, 분자생물학적 판별 기술의 개발은 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 토종과 중국 계통의 구지뽕 나무의 기원을 판별하기 위해 엽록체에 존재하는 trnL-trnF 유전자단편에서 SNP를 이용한 판별 프라이머를 확보하였으며 이를 보완하여 보다 신속하게 판별하기 위하여 ARMS-PCR기술을 이용한 판별마커와 그 조건을 확립하였다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서 개발된 SNP 마커는 다양한 지역에서 서식하는 구지뽕 계통들의 신속한 확인을 위해 매우 유용하게 이용될 것으로 생각된다. Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau is a widely used medicinal perennial woody plant. For conservation and germplasm utilization of the plant, it is imperative to obtaining information regarding the genetic diversity of the plant populations. Although C. tricuspidata is an important medicinal plant registered in South Korea, no molecular markers are currently available to distinguish Korean-specific ecotypes from other ecotypes of different countries. In this study, we developed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from chloroplast genomic sequences to identify distinct Korean-specific ecotypes of C. tricuspidata via the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR analyses. Molecular authentication of twelve C. tricuspidata ecotypes from different regions was performed, using DNA sequences in the trnL-F chloroplast intergenic region. The SNP markers developed in this study are useful for rapidly identifying specific C. tricuspidata ecotypes from different regions.

이수진,Lee, Soo Jin 대한소아감염학회 2006 Pediatric Infection and Vaccine Vol.13 No.1

항문주위 연쇄구균성 피부염(perianal streptococcal dermatitis, PSD)은 종종 다른 소아 항문주위 질환과 혼돈되어 잘못된 치료로 질병을 악화시키므로 빠르고 정확한 진단이 중요하다. 조기 진단과 치료는 환아의 불편과 부모의 스트레스를 경감시키며, 항생제 투여를 빨리 할수록 증상이 극적으로 빨리 호전된다. 저자들은 드물지는 않지만 현실적으로 잘 알려져 있지 않은 항문주위 연쇄구균성 피부염 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Perianal streptococcal dermatitis is a bright red, sharply demarcated, perianal rash that is caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. It primarily occurs in children between six months and 10 years of age and is often misdiagnosed and treated inappropriately. We report a case of Perianal streptococcal dermatitis in a 13-months-old female patient. A culture of the perianal area grew group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The patient was given systemic antibiotics and topical applications of mupirocin, and a dramatic improvement was noted.

Shikonin Modulates Cell Proliferation by Inducing Apoptosis in LLC Cells via MAPK Regulation and Caspase Activation

이수진,김성훈,Lee, Soo-Jin,Kim, Sung-Hoon The Physiological Society of Korean Medicine and T 2005 동의생리병리학회지 Vol.19 No.2

Shikonin is a chemically characterized component of traditional herbal medicine, the root of Lithospermum erythrorhizon and has been shown to possess antitumor activities. Here we investigated anticancer potential of shikonin and its possible mechanism of action in LLC cells. Shikonin inhibited the proliferation of LLC cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It was also demonstrated that shikonin induced apoptosis in LLC cells by Annexin V staining and TUNEL staining analysis. Shikonin treatment was caused that decrease of Bcl-2, activation of caspases and cleavage of PARP. And shikonin also induced that the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38. Interestingly, the cell proliferation inhibition induced by shikonin was recovered by specific inhibitors of JNK and p38 but the inhibitor of MEK, the upstream kinase of ERK, did not recover. Additionally, shikonin administration at doses of 5 mg/kg in C57BL/6 mice strongly inhibited the primary tumor growth of LLC. Taken together, these results suggest that shikonin may suppress LLC cell proliferation by inducing an apoptotic process via activation of caspases and MAPKs

Filtered Backprojection에서 정착자를 사용한 고주파 감쇠

이수진,김용호,Lee, Soo-Jin,Kim, Yong-Hoh 배재대학교 공학연구소 1997 공학논문집 Vol.2 No.1

Emission computed tomography에 있어서 Bayesian방법에 근거한 통계학적 영상 재구성법이 수년간에 걸쳐 중요한 관심사로 대두되어 왔다. 이는 Bayesian 접근 방법을 사용할 경우 영상 재구성 알고리즘에 재구성하고자 하는 영상에 대한 사전정보를 포함시킬 수 있기 때문이었다. 이러한 방법은 경우에 따라 향상된 성능을 보이고 있으나, 막대한 계산시간으로 인해 실제 임상에 적용되기가 매우 어려운 상황이다. 한편, filtered backprojection(FBP)은 알고리즘 자체가 간단하고 계산시간도 매우 단축되므로 대부분의 임상에 널리 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Bayesian 영상 재구성에서 매우 유용하게 사용되는 spline 모델을 FBP의 고주파 감쇠를 위한 정칙자로 사용함으로써 FBP 영상 재구성에 Bayesian 방법과 유사한 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 보인다. In emission computed tomography, statistical reconstruction methods in the context of a Bayesian framework have been a topic of interest over the last decade. This was mainly due to the fact that Bayesian approaches can incorporate a priori information into the reconstruction algorithm. Although these approaches can exhibit good performance, their applications to the clinic is hindered mainly by their high computational cost. On the other hand, the speed and simplicity of the filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm have led to its widespread use in most clinical applications. In this work, we use spline models, which have been quite useful in Bayesian reconstruction, as regularizers for high-frequency apodization in FBP algorithm and show that the effects of using spline models as priors in Bayesian reconstruction can also be achieved in FBP reconstruction.

고선량률 후 장착 근접치료 과정에서의 필수적인 정도 관리(QA) 과정은 Ir-192 선원 위치의 정확성을 검증하는 것이다. 눈금자나 방사선 사진(autoradiograph), 비디오 모니터(video monitor) 등을 이용한 여러 방법들이 Ir-192 선원의 위치적인 오차를 점검하기 위해 사용됨이 보고되고 있다. 본 논문에서는, fluorescent screen 과 CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) PC 카메라를 이용하는 방법을 새로운 고선량률 근접치료의 정도 관리 (QA) 도구로 사용할 수 있는 가능성에 대해 연구하였다. 계획된 dwell position 과 그 측정값은 1 mm 이내에서 일치함을 보였고, dwell time의 정확성은 0.4초 이내였다. 이번 연구의 결과는 CMOS PC 카메라를 사용하여 새롭게 제작된 정도 관리(QA) 시스템이 선원의 위치와 dwell time점검이 실시간으로 가능한 정도 관리(QA) 도구로 사용될 수 있음을 보여준다. An essential quality assurance (QA) procedure in high dose rate (HDR) remote after-loading brachytherapy is that of the verification of the Ir-192 HDR source positioning accuracy. A number of methods using mechanical rulers or autoradiograph and video cameras have been reported to check the positional error of the Ir-192 source. In this study, the feasibility of a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) PC camera, with a fluorescent screen, was investigated. The agreement between the planned and measured dwell position was better than 1 mm and dwell times better than 0.4 sec. Our results indicate that the CMOS PC camera system could be used as a QA tool for the on-line determination of the source position and dwell time.
