Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extract of H. pylori. The purified enzyme consisted of heavy and light subunits with molecular weights of 38 kDa and 21 kDa, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence of heavy and light subunits revealed that H. pylori GGT was processed into 3 parts for a signal peptide of 27 amino acid residues, a heavy subunit of 352 residues, and a light subunit of 188 residues during translation. The reaction rate for hydrolysis of ${\gamma}$-GpNA was 84.4 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein, and that for the ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transfer from ${\gamma}$-GpNA to gly-gly was 23.8 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein. The apparent Km values of H. pylori GGT for ${\gamma}$-glutamyl compounds were on the order of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$ M and those for acceptor peptides and amino acids were on the order of $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-2}$ M. The GGT protein kept approximately 80% of the initial enzymatic activity on incubation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The optimum temperature and pH for reactions of both hydrolysis and transpeptidation were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The transpeptidation and hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by H. pylori GGT were strongly inhibited by L-Gln and moderately inhibited by L-Ala, L-Ser, ${\beta}$-chloro-L-Ala, and L-Glu. These results demonstrated that the biochemical properties of H. pylori GGT are different from those of other bacterial GGTs. Further, H. pylori GGT might degrade glutathione in the gastric mucous layer of humans if the enzyme could be secreted in the bacterial niches.

Double layer films which consisted of aluminum(Al) and magnesium(Mg) have been prepared by e-beam deposition. The structure, alloy phase, and corrosion resistance of the prepared films were investigated before and after heat treatment. The first (bottom) layer fixed with Al, and the thickness ratio between Al and Mg layers has been changed from 1 : 1 to 5 : 1, respectively. Total thickness of Al-Mg film was fixed at 3 μm. The cold-rolled steel sheet was used as a substrate. Heat treatment was fulfilled in an nitrogen atmosphere at the temperature of 400℃ for 2, 3 and 10 min. Surface morphology of as-deposited Al-Mg film having Mg top layer showed plate-like structure. The morphology was not changed even after heat treatment. However, cross-sectional morphology of Al-Mg films was drastically changed after heat treatment, especially for the samples heat treated for 10 min. The morphology of as-deposited films showed columnar structure, while featureless structure of the films appeared after heat treatment. The x-ray diffraction data for as-deposited Al-Mg films showed only pure Al and Mg peaks. However, Al-Mg alloy peaks such as Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17 appeared after heat treatment of the films. It is believed that the formation of Al-Mg alloy phase affected the structure change of Al-Mg film. It was found that the corrosion resistance of Al-Mg film was increased after heat treatment.

국내의 Acinetobacter baumannii와 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 임상분리주에 대한 Colistin과 Polymyxin B의 감수성 양상

송원근,이태재,박민정,김한성,김재석,우흥정,이규만 대한감염학회 2006 감염과 화학요법 Vol.38 No.6

배경 : 다약제 내성 Acinetobacter baumannii와 Pseudomonas aeruginosa에 의한 감염의 증가로 인해 기존의 치료제를 대신할 수 있는 colistin이나 polymyxin B와 같은 대체 항균제들이 사용되고 있다. 이에 국내에서 분리된 A. baumannii와 P. aeruginosa에 대한 colistin과 polymyxin B의 감수성 현황을 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 국내 5개 대학병원에서 분리된 균주 중 ceftazidime과 imipenem의 감수성에 따라 93주의 A. baumannii와 99주의 P. aeruginosa를 선택하였다. 액체배지 미량희석법으로 colistin과 polymyxin B의 감수성을 시험하였다. 결과 : Ceftazidime과 imipenem이 감수성인 균주에서는 기타 β-lactam제, aminoglycoside제 및 ciprofloxacin에 대한 감수성율(각각 58-100%, 50-100%, 75-100%)이 높았으나, ceftazidime 또는 imipenem이 내성인 균주에서는 위의 항균제에 대한 감수성율이(각각 ≤31%, ≤47%, ≤18%)이 낮았다(P<0.05). Colistin과 polymyxin B에 대한 A baumannii (MIC_(50/90), 1/2 ㎍/mL)와 P. aeruginosa(MIC_(50/90), 1/1 ㎍/mL)에의 항균 범위는 거의 유사하였고 두 약제 모두 매우 우수한 항균력을 보였다. A. baumannii에서는 1주(1.1%)가 colistin 내성(MIC, 4 ㎍/ mL)이 었으나 polymyxin B에는 감수성(MIC, 2 ㎍/mL)이었으며 이외의 모든 A. baumannii와 P. aeruginosa는 colistin과 polymyxin B에 감수성(MIC, ≤2 ㎍/mL)이었다. 결론 : 국내에서 colistin과 polymyxin B에 둘 다 내성인 A. baumannii나 P. aeruginosa 감염은 없었다. 따라서polymyxin제를 다약제 내성 A. baumannii나 P. aeruginosa 감염에 대한 대체 항균제로 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Background : The emergence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa has become a major problem. The use of nontraditional agents such as colistin and polymyxin B have been tried. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the colistin and polymyxin B susceptibility of A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa isolates in Korea. Materials and Methods : According to susceptibility of ceftazidime and imipenem, selected 93 isolates of A. baumannii and 99 isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from 5 university hospitals in Korea. Susceptibility to colistin and polymyxin B was tested using the reference broth microdilution method. Results : The rates of other β-lactams, aminoglycosides, and ciprofloxacin susceptibility were high (58-100%, 50-100%, and 75-100%, respectively) in ceftazidime- and imipenem-susceptible isolates but were low (≤31%, ≤47%, and ≤18%, respectively) in ceftazidime- or imipenem-resistant isolates (P<0.05). Colistin and polymyxin B displayed a nearly identical spectrum of activity, exhibiting excellent potency against A. baumannii (MIC_(50/90), 1/2 ㎍/mL) and P. aeruginosa (MIC_(50/90), 1/1 ㎍/mL). Only one of the A. baumannii isolates was resistant to colistin (MIC, 4 ㎍/mL), but the isolate was susceptible to polymyxin B (MIC, 2 ㎍/mL). Conclusion : In Korea, no A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa isolates were resistant to both colistin and polymyxin B. These data suggested that polymyxins may be alternative drugs for multidrug- resistant A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa isolates.

During a three-year period, 600 patients were admitted to the Asan Medical Center because of biliary tract diseases. Both aerobic and anaerobic cultures were performed in 313 patients with cholangitis (bile : 253, blood : 113, both : 53). Of these patients, 189 were positive(bile 159. blood 68. both 38). The most common organisms were E. coli, K pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa in both bile(respectively, 49.7%, 20.8%, 51.5%) and blood cultures(respectively, 45.6%, 26.5%, 22.1%). Antibiotic therapy did not sterilize bile, but selectively increased the proportions of P. aeruginosa. There was no significant difference in biliary bacteriology according to the history of biliary surgery, or the presence of percutaneous biliary drainage or underlying disease. More than 95% of gram-negative organisms isolated was highly susceptible to imipenem and amikacin. P. aeruginosa was resistant to ceftazidime in 63.3% which might be associated with overuse of the drug during the study period. Further studies will be necessary in patients with cholangitis to determine whether newer antibiotics replace previous combination therapy.

Purpose : To compare the proliferation potential of the epithelial cells between unicystic ameloblastoma (UA), dentigerous cyst (DC), and odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and to correlate this proliferation potential with the radiographic features of these three pathoses. Materials and Methods : Immunohistochemical expression of PCNA, Ki-67, and cytokeratin as a proliferation marker were assessed for 15 cases of UA, 15 cases of DC, and 15 cases of OKC. The degree of immunochemical expression of three proliferation markers were correlated with the radiographic features, especially cortical expansion (negative and positive) and shape of border (scalloped and round). Results : Using PCNA and Ki-67, OKC showed the highest proliferation potential and UA the lowest. Statistically significant differences were found between the OKC and the UA (p.0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was present according to the radiographic features in all pathoses. Using cytokeratin, there was no significant differences of proliferation potential among three pathoses. Conclusions : OKC epithelium has the most intense proliferation potential, followed by the dentigeous cyst and then unicystic ameloblastoma. There is no significant relation between the radiographic features and the proliferation potential of epithelium of these three pathoses.

A successful therapy of community-acquired pneumonia requires appropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy. Etiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of major pathogens of pneumonia can differ by country. Therefore, an ideal treatment guideline of community-acquired pneumonia should be based on the studies performed in each country. We developed a treatment guideline for community-acquired pneumonia in immunocompetent adults in Korea. This guideline was developed by the joint committee of the Korean Society for Chemotherapy, the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases, and the Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory diseases.

This study was performed to identify risk factors for depression among the elderly in a rural area. A survey was done for the elderly living in Gosam-myenn, Ansung-kun during the period of July 28, 1997 and July 30, 1997. Demographic and sodoeconornic characteristics, and functional and health Status were assessed using a structured questionnaire, and the level of depression was measured by GDS score. The data obtained were analyzed by frequencies, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression, and the results were as follows: 1. The total sample consisted of 133 elderly. Of them, 47 elderly (35.4%) showed significant depressive Symptoms. 2. The GDS score was the highest for the group over 85 years of age (p < 0.05). Those living alone or widowed showed lower GDS score than those living with someone or married (p < 0.05). 3. The GDS score was the highest in the absolutely dependent group, followed by the partially dependent group, and the independent group (p < 0.01). The elderly who perceived their health Status as excellent showed the lowest GDS score. In contrast, those who had more than five chronic diseases showed the highest GDS score. 4. The elderly receiving financial and emotional support from their family or friends showed lower GDS score compared to those without any support. 5. The economically dependent group showed higher GDS score than that of independent group. 6. The elderly who involved in leisure activities showed lower GDS score than those without any involvement. 7. In terms of risk factors for depression, we found that perceived health Status, subjective economic Status, leisure activities, living arrangement and financial support were inversely associated with GDS score, whereas labor support was positively associated with GDS score. Based upon the above findings, this study suggests that these risk factors for depression in the elderly should be taken into consideration for a comprehensive mental health program for the elderly living in the rural area.
