The present study was aimed to isolate the bacteria producing chitinolytic enzymes including chitin deacetylase (CDA) from soil origin. About 24 bacteria were screened for their chitinolytic enzymes producing ability on the basis of colloidal chitin. Amongst one of the most potent isolates designated to JI-02 was further selected as the most prominent chitinolytic and CDAlike enzyme (CDA-X) producer based on the ability of deacetylation of an artificial substrate pNP-acetamilide. The maximum production of CDA-X in crude enzyme from JI-02 was observed in the presence of 1% colloidal chitin at 37°C and pH 6.4 after 120 h of incubation. Potent enzyme activity of CDA-X was determined toward pNP-acetamilide, demonstrating that optimal pH, temperature and ionic strength of the CDA-X were assessed to be 7.0, 52°C and 125 mM, respectively. Unexpectedly, Nacetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) was not fully converted by the action of CDA-X to glucosamine (GlcN) under the established conditions. Further study on enzyme activity toward chitin-oligosaccharides consisting of multi-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)n, n=2-5 may be necessary to elucidate the mode of action which requires the minimum size of (GlcNAc)n. However, our data suggest that CDA-X can convert chitin to chitosan with the maximum yield of approximately 0.08g/L during the fermentation of the strain in the presence of chitin. Furthermore, we found that crude enzyme showed the significant chitosanolytic activity. Taken together, our data suggest that the strain JI-02 may be a potential candidate as a particular strain for better understating of chitin catabolic pathway.

본 연구는 하수 종말 처리에 의해 발생되는 하수 슬러지를 잔 골재(경량골재)로 사용하여, 폴리머 콘크리트를 제조하여 그 때의 역학적 성질에 대하여 검토하였다. 하수 슬러지는 5일간 110±5℃에서 수분함량 0.1%미만으로 건조한 후 파쇄하여 No.4∼No. 200 번체의 잔골재 표준 시방서 기준에 부합되도록 사용하였다. Pellet는 보통 회전pan에서 만드나, 본 실험에서는 수동으로 제조하였다. 제조한 하수 슬러지 경량 골재는 평균 겉보기 비중은 1.58(g/㎤), 단위용적중량은 1.98(t/㎥)으로 KS F 2534의 경량골재의 절건비중과 단위용적에 따른 분류에 의하면 중위급(medium weight) 경량골재에 속하는 것으로 측정되었다. 또한 잔 골재 중 하수 슬러지 경량 골재를 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%로 치환하여 그때의 압축, 휨, 인장강도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 하수 슬러지의 증가에 따라 강도 감소를 보였으나, 일반 경량콘크리트 제조 또는 단열용 콘크리트 블록 제조에 사용이 가능하다고 사료된다. 그러므로 앞으로 건조수축, 크리이프 특성 및 내구성에 관한 연구가 더욱 심도 있게 이루어져야 폐자원인 하수 슬러지를 이용한 건자재의 개발이 가능하리라 판단된다. In this study, the polymer concrete was produced by using the lightweight aggregate that had been manufactured using the sewage sludge and its physical properties were experimentally examined. Experimental results show that when the portion of sewage sludge lightweight aggregate in the fine aggregate increases, slump values decreases. Also, the compressive, the flexural and the tensile strengths decrease when the portion of sewage sludge lightweight aggregate increases. Although its strengths decreases, the sewage sludge lightweight fine aggregates is thought to be used for construction materials.

Pmpose: To investigate the characteristics of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in premedical students of one medical college and to compare the personality profiles of them with those of other studies which involved the K-orean university students and other country population. Mateiials and Methods: The MBTI was used to measure the personality profiles of premedical students at the Center for Teaching & Leaming of Chosun University. One hundred and twenty five premedical students participated in this study and the MBTI profiles of them were compared to those of K-orean university students (1,441 persons), i.e. their potential patients and those of the United Kingdom (UK.) Population (1,634 persons) and a sample of UK- doctors (313 persons) of one medical college involved in other studies. Results: The premedical students had a preference for Introversion (62%) rather than Extraversion (38%), Sensing (70%) rather than Intuition (30%), Thinking (66%) rather than Feeling (34%), and Judging (57%) rather than Perceiving (43%). There were more Thinking (66% vs 57%, p=0.071) in the premedical students than in K-orean university students with borderline significance. There were significantly more Thinking (66% vs 46%, P=0.000) and more Introversion (62% vs 48%, p=0.002) than in UK- adult population. Also there were significantly more Sensing (62% vs 48%, p=0.002), significantly less Judging (57% vs 68%, P=0.034), and more Introversion (62% vs 53%, 0=0.094) with borderline significance than in UK doctors. But no difference was shown in Thinking between the premedical students and UK- doctors, Conclusion: The personality profiles of the premedical students in this study differed in Thinking with borderline significance from K-orean university students and significantly differed from the UK adult population in Thinking and Introversion showing the cultural difference. No difference of Thinking between the premedical students and UK doctors despite of cultural difference suggests the correlation between the Thinking and medical professional choice.

The Andong region that includes Youngju, Bonghwa, Yechon, and Uisung is located in a basin bounded in the northeast and northwest by the Mt. Ranges of Taeback and Soback, and because of the closeness to Andong and Imha dams it has come to experience a large variation in climate. Due to an excessive amount of evaporation of moistures from open surfaces of these dams in the region it has not been possible to avoid heavy fogs, and because of the cooling effect accompanying the evaporation it has come to experience greater variation in temperature. The summer climate of the region may be characterized as follows : 1) The temperatures fall in the eastern coastal region that includes Uljin, Youngduk, and Pohang during the summer when there is a low pressure developed m the southern part of Tonghae following the pattern of high pressure in the north and low pressure in the south induced by the northeastern air current, but the temperatures fall frequently in the interior region that includes Andong, Yougju, Bonghwa, Yechon, Uisung, Sunsan, Kimchon, and Taegu when there is a low pressure region developed there following the pattern of high pressure in the east and low pressure in the west. 2) The temperatures fall equally in both the coastal and interior regions when there is a cold front, spread across east-west line, moving rapidly southward from central region due to a high pressure in the north and a low pressure in the south, and in the interior region the temperatures fall quite rapidly-this trend continues for the next two to three days. 3) The highest temperature during the summer in Kyungbuk region is due to wind effect that may have been resulted from the Foehn-phenomena with the Taeback Mt. Range as boundry. 4) The temperature rises when daily variation is of the pattern of A or B, but the temperature falls when the daily variation is of the pattern C or D. The temperatures fall in the western coast and rise in the interior region when the high pressure region forms a tounge pattern with the axis along the eastern coast. When the axis of the high pressure region is along the western coast, the temperatures rise in both regions, and the amount of rise is comparable, thus creating the pattern E. These five patterns of variation may be considered as the characteristics of the summer weather in the Kyungbuk region.

The study of Electroluminescence has been begun with that the two Germans, B. Gudden & R. W. Pohl in 1920 examined the remaining lights by dint of adding Electric Field at the fluorescent substance, and from 1952 the study became brisk, in 1960 made a peak, and afterward it was diminished. The above facts were appeared through H. E. Ivey`s investigation. The cause was it that the light-efficiency and the brightness were very pessimistic, though the beginning of EL-Study was given in the development of illumination. In 1950, however, with the initiative that C. W. Jerome of Sylvania Co. deviced and announced EL-Lamp, EL-Fluorescent substances were embed and merchandised as EL-Panels, and after a while it was applied to EL-Lamps, Expression Apparatuses, Light Amplifier, Logic Circuit and so on, with which the use frequency got high, and it has been developed as a promising Electronic Industry. But in our country, considering the various conditions, in order to find out the possibility of EL-Production within the home country, Impurity was introduced to ZnS powder, EL of ZnS : Cu, Cl & ZnS : Cu, Mn, Cl could be manufactured, and surveying the Voltage Characteristics, the Frequency Characteristics, and the Spectral Response of the manufactured things, the fundamental technique-problems about the composition of ZnS powder, the introduction of impurity, the formation of thin-thickness, and the construction of Cell, etc were solved gradually. 1. The quantity of Cu must commonly be more one order than in the use of Photoluminescence, as a whole 10(-3)gm,atm/mole ZnS is fitted, and Mn suitable in about 10 times of Cu. 2. Yellow color must dope Cu as well as Mn, when the quantity of Cu fixed to a certain amount, in case that the quantity of Mn is decreased, it be turned into Yellow color, if it is increased, it be taken Orange color. 3. In vacuum flowing HzS gas and baking at the moment, it is said that EL of which brightness is high, but in the air we can secure ZnS : Cu, Cl EL. only. 4. In referring to the conditions 1, 2, 3, I can infer that EL-manufacture if possible in our country.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress coping strategies and psychological charactehstics, such as combined psychopathology and tendency of symptom interpretation, in patients with somatization disorder. Methods : Thirty patients meeting the criteria of DSM-IV somatization disorder were compared with thirty controls. We evaluated the subjects using Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), Somato-Sensory Amplification Scale (SSAS), Symptom Interpretation Questionnaire (SIQ), and The Ways of Stress Coping Questionnaire (SCQ). Independent t-test and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Results : From the results of SCL-90-R subscales, the scores of somatization, obsession-compulsion, depression, anxiety, and psychoticism were significantly higher in patients with somatization disorder than nonnal controls. Somatization disorder patients had greater amplification of physical sensation in SSAS and significantly higher score in physical interpretation of SIQ compared with psychological or environmental interpretation, In the SCQ of somatization disorder patients, we observed generallylower levels of total coping scores than the control group and significant positive correlation between passive coping style of SCQ and psychological interpretation of SIQ. Conclusion : These results show that patients with somatization disorder have various psychopathology, greater amplification of physical sensation, physical interpretation tendency of symptoms, and insufficient copying strategy.

D-Amphetamine이 니코틴성 흥분작용에 의한 카테콜아민 분비작용에 미치는 영향

임건한,서유석,민선영,임지연,김용직,나광문,임동윤 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2005 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.30 No.1

본 연구의 목적은 d-arphetamine이 흰쥐의 적출부신 관류모델에서 니코틴 수용체 흥분에 의한 카테콜아민(CA) 유리작용에 미치는 영향을 검색하여 그 작용기전을 규명하고자 하였다. D-amphetamine은 흰쥐 부신정맥내로 60분간 관류시 d-amphetamine자체는 약한 CA 분비작용을 나타내었으나, d-amphetamine (30 μM)을 비롯한 강력한 neuronal nicotine 수용체 작용제인 cytisine (50 μM) 및 epibatidine (30 μM)에 의한 CA 유리작용을 처음 4-10분 동안만 유의하게 증강시켰다. 또한, d-amphetamine (30 μM)은 60분간 부신정맥 내로 관류한 상태에서 dihydropyridine L-형 칼슘통로 개방약물인 Bay-K-8644 (10 μM)과 세포질내 칼슘저장고에서 Ca^(2+) ATPase 억제제인 cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM)의 CA 유리작용을 처음 4분간만 유의하게 증강시켰다. 그러나, 고농도의 d-amphetamine (500 μM)은 상기한 모든 분비촉진제의 CA분비작용을 오히려 억제하였다. 이와 같은 연구결과로 보면, 흰쥐 관류 부신수질에서 d-amphetamine은 낮은 농도에서는 콜린성 니코틴 수용체 흥분에 의한 카테콜아민 분비반응을 증강시키지만, 고농도에서는 오히려 억제적으로 작용함을 시사한다. 따라서, d-amphetamine은 용량에 따라서 흰쥐 적출 관류부신수질의 니코틴 수용체의 작용제 및 길항제로 이중 작용(dual action)을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 d-amphetamine의 작용은 흰쥐 부신수질 크롬친화세포의 dihydropyridine계 L-형 칼슘통로의 활성화 및 세포 내 칼슘저장고로부터 칼슘유리작용과 관련성이 있는 것으로 사료된다. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of d-amphetamine on CA release evoked by nocotinic receptor stimulation from the isolated perfused model of the rat adrenal gland, and to establish its mechanism of action. D-amphetamine(30 μM), when perfused into an adrenal vein of the rat adrenal gland for 60 min, enhanced the CA secretory responses evoked by ACh (5.32 mM), nicotine (30 μM), cytisine (50 μM, a selective neuronal nicotinic Nn-receptor agonist) and epibatidine (30 nM, a selective neuronal nicotinic Nn receptor agonist) only for the first period (4~10 min), although it alone has weak effect on CA secretion. Moreover, d-amphetamine (30 μM) in to an adrenal vein for 60 min also augmented the CA release evoked by BAY-K-8644, an activator of the dihydropyridine L-type Ca^(2+) channels, and cyclopiazonic acid, an inhibitor of cytoplasmic Ca^(2+) ATPase only for the first peroid (4 min). However, in the presence rather inhibited the CA secretory responses evoked by the above all of secretagogues. Taken together, these experimental results suggest that d-amphetamine at a low concentration enhances the CA secretion from the rat adrenal medulla evoked by stimulation of cholinergic nicotininc receptors, but at a high concentration it rather inhibits them. It semms that d-amphetamine has dual action acting as both agonist and antagonist at nicotinic receptors of the isolated perfused rat adrenal medulla, which are might be dependent on the concentration. It is also thought that these actions of d-amphetamine are probably relevant to the activation of the dihydropyridine L-type Ca^(2+) channels located on the rat adrenomedullary chromaffin cell membrane and release of Ca^(2+) from the cytoplasmic store.

전신마취동안에 복와위시 자유로운 복근 움직임이 심혈관계에 미치는 영향

김지윤,이동원,서일숙,김세연 영남대학교 의과대학 2007 Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine Vol.24 No.2

복와위는 신체 후부 노출이 필요한 척추 수술을 위해 주로 사용되고 있으며 수술부위로의 접근이 용이하고 수술 도중에 척추를 안정적으로 유지해주는 장점이 있다. 하지만 전신마취하에 있는 환자를 양와위에서 복와위로의 전환은 여러 가지 부작용을 동반하며 특히 순환기계의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 이를 줄이기 위해 다양한 복와위 전용 수술대들이 연구 개발되어 임상에 사용되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 양와위에서 복와위로의 체위 변환 시에 Jackson spinal surgery table의 이용이 체위에 의한 압박 때문에 생기는 환자의 순환기계 변화를 얼마나 효과적으로 줄여줄 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 추간판탈출증, 퇴행성척추전방전위증, 척추협착증의 진단 하에 본원 정형외과와 신경외과에서 수술을 받기로 예정된 환자 중 미국 마취과학회 신체등급 분류 1급 또는 2급에 해당하는 성인 환자 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 대상 환자의 성별은 남자가 15명, 여자가 15명이었고, 심혈관계나 호흡기계 질환이 있는 환자는 연구 대상에서 제외되었다. 모든 환자는 마취전투약으로 수술 시작 1시간 전에 glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg, fentanyl 1 μg/kg을 근주하였으며 수술실에 도착한 후 비침습적 자동 혈압 측정기, 심전도 및 맥박산소 계측기를 거치하였다. Thiopental sodium과 vecuronium으로 마취를 유도하였으며 환자의 의식소실과 충분한 근이완을 확인한 후 기관내 삽관을 시행하였다. Enflurane 1.5-2.0 vol%와 O₂N₂O 각각 2 L/min을 사용하여 마취유지를 하였으며 급격한 활력 징후의 변동으로 마취유지가 용의치 않은 경우는 연구 대상에서 제외시켰다. 환자의 활력 징후 안정 후 요골 동맥에 카테터를 거치하여 지속적으로 동맥압을 측정하였고, 우측 쇄골하 정맥에 중심정맥 카테터를 거치하여 중심정맥압을 측정하였다. 부분 재호흡 심박출량 감시기 (NICO^(ⓡ), Novametrix Medical Systems INC., USA)를 통해 비침습적으로 환자의 심박출량을 측정하였다. 양와위에서 복와위로 체위변경 직전에 심박출 계수, 심박출량, 평균동맥압, 심박수, 중심정맥압을 측정하여 양와위의 값으로 삼았으며, 척추 수술 전용 수술대인 Jackson spinal surgery table을 사용하여 복와위를 취하였다. 복와위로 체위 변경 뒤 심박출 계수, 심박출량, 평균동맥압, 심박수, 중심정맥압을 측정하여 복와위의 값으로 기록하였다. 본 연구 결과 양와위와 복와위의 혈역학적 지수의 비교시 심박수와 평균동맥압은 별다른 차이가 없었다. 중심정맥압은 유의한 정도는 아니지만 감소 소견을 보여 수술시 출혈의 위험성을 감소시킬 것으로 생각된다. 심박출량과 심박출 계수도 유의한 감소 소견을 보였으나 convex saddle table을 이용한 경우와 knee-chest position을 취한 경우보다 적은 변화를 보여 Jackson spinal surgery table의 사용은 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 Jackson spinal surgery table을 사용하여 복부와 흉부에 과도한 압력이 가해지지 않더라도 유의한 심박출량 감소가 있을 수 있음을 유념해야 할 것이다. 특히 심폐여력이 부족한 환자들에 있어서는 심박출량의 감소는 위험한 결과를 초래할 수 있으므로 복와위에 의한 생리적 변화에 관한 충분한 이해와 함께 마취 시 보다 적극적인 감시와 관리가 요구된다고 여겨진다. Background : The prone position is often used for operations involving the spine and provides excellent surgical access. The complications associated with the prone position include ocular and auricular injuries, and musculoskeletal injuries. In particular, the prone position during general anesthesia causes hemodynamic changes. To evaluate the cardiovascular effects of the prone position in surgical patients during general anesthesia, we investigated the effects on hemodynamic change of the prone position with the Jackson spinal surgery table. Materials and Methods : Thirty patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position were randomly selected. After induction of general anesthesia, intra-arterial and central venous pressures (CVP) were monitored and cardiac output was measured by NICO^(ⓡ). We measured stroke volume, cardiac index, cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, CVP and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) before changing the position. The same measurements were performed after changing to the prone position with the patient on the Jackson spinal surgery table. Results : In the prone position, there was a significant reduction in stroke volume, cardiac index and cardiac output. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure and CVP were also decreased in the prone position but not significantly. However, the SVR was increased significantly. Conclusion : The degree of a reduced cardiac index was less on the Jackson spinal surgery table than other conditions of the prone position. The reduced epidural pressure caused by free abdominal movement may decrease intraoperative blood loss. Therefore, the Jackson spinal surgery table provides a convenient and stable method for maintaining patients in the prone position during spinal surgery.
