목적 : 조혈모세포이식 환자에서 호중구 감소 기간 동안 이트라코나졸 액(ITZS)과 플루코나졸 시럽(FCZS)의 진균 감염에 대한 예방 효과를 전향적으로 비교해 보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2001년 8월부터 2002년 6월까지 가톨릭 조혈모세포이식센터에 입원하여 동종 조혈모세포이식을 받은 만 18세 이상의 환자들을 각각 ITZS와 FCZS군으로 무작위 배정하여 침습성 진균 감염 발생과 약제 관련 부작용을 전향적으로 조사하였다. 결과 : ITZS군에 40명, FCZS군에 38명이 배정되었고, FCZS군 환자의 평균 나이가 더 많았다. 시험 약제 평균투여기간은 ITZS군 16.4일, FCZS군 21.9일로 ITZS군이 더 짧았다. 이는 ITZS군에서 소화기 부작용으로 인한 약제 중단이 더 많았기 때문으로 보인다. 시험 약제 투여 후 총 빌리루빈 수치의 유의한 증가가 관찰되었으나, 약제 관련 부작용은 모든 환자에서 가역적이었다. 호중구감소 기간동안 표재성 진균 감염은 두 군에서 모두 발생하지 않았고, 침습성 진균 감염은 ITZS군 5명(12.5%), FCZS군 8명(21.1%)으로 FCZS군에서 많았으나, 통계학적으로 유의하지 않았고, 사망률에도 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론 : 침습성 진균 감염에 대한 이트라코나졸 액과플루코라졸 시럽의 예방 효과에 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 앞으로 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 잘 짝지어진 대조군 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다. 부작용 중 간독성과 관련하여 이식시 투여되는 여러 약제들과의 상호작용에 대한 연구도 필요할 것이다. Background : Though fluconazole is widely used for antifungal prophylaxis, it is ineffective against mould infections including Aspergillus species. Itraconazole has a broader spectrum than fluconazole but the capsule form shows erratic bioavailability in neutropenic patients. In this study, we compared itraconazole oral solution (ITZS) with fluconazole syrup (FCZS) for the prevention of invasive fungal infection (IFI) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Materials and Methods : Adults receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from september 2001 to June 2002, were randomly allocated to either the ITZS group or the FCZS group. We prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of each drug. Results : Out of 78 patients (40 patients in the ITZS group and 38 patients in the FCZS group) who were eligible for this study, 37 patients completed the course of prophylaxis without any evidence of IFI. The mean duration of prophylaxis was 16.4 days for the ITZS group and 21.9 days for the FCZS group (P<0.006). Drug-related adverse events occurred in 28 patients (70.0%) and 19 patients (50.0%) in the ITZS group and the FCZS group, respectively. Common adverse events of ITZS were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drug-related reversible hepatotoxicity occurred in 4 patients in the ITZS group. There was a significant elevation of total bilirubin level in the ITZS group. The incidence of suspected IFI occurred in 5 patients (12.5%) who received ITZS, compared with 8 (21.1%) who received FCZS (P=0.372). There were no proven IFIs or superficial (oral/vaginal) fungal infections in both groups. Overall mortality was not different between the two groups (2.5% in the ITZS group versus 5.3% in the FCZS group, P=0.610). Conclusion : ITZS and FCZS showed similar protection against IFI during pre-engraftment period. Poor tolerability due to gastrointestinal troubles of ITZS might limit its success as prophylactic therapy. Well matched controlled study with large number of patients will be required in the future.

Method : 1. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was done by the broth dilution method. 2. In hibition profile was done using EDTA, HgCl₂ and p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB). We also measured 50% inhibitory concentration(IC??) using β-lactamase inhibitors, such as clavulanic acid, sulbactam. 3. Kinetics study for substrate profile was performed by spectrophotometric assay using crude extracts and various antimicrobial agents. Relative hydropysis rates were determined. 4. The isoelectric point(pI) was determined by isoelectric focusing. The molecular weight was estimated by SDS-polycrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results : 1. The strain was resistant to ceftriaxone, sulperazon, piperacillin, ceftazidime, and aztreonam, while it was susceptible to gontamicin, tobramycin, amikacin and imipenem. 2. The β-lactamase was not inhibited by EDTA, and pCMB, whereas it was inhibited by HgCI₂. The IC?? of clavulanic acid was over 100μM and that of sulbactam was 22μM. 3. The relative maximal hydrolysis rate was calculated by setting V_(max) for cephaloridine at 100. The enzyme hydrolyzed cephalosporins more rapidly than penicillins. 4. The pI was 9.3 by isoelectric focusing. The molecular weight was estimated to be 40kDa. Conclusion : According to its substrate profile, pI and molecular weight, the β-lactamase from a clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa was a cephalosporinase belonging to group 1 in the Bush-Jacoby-Medeiros classification scheme.

Purpose: This study examined the clinical success rate of Mg titanate implants (M Implant system, Shinhung, Korea), which employ a Mg coating method, by evaluating the marginal bone loss and implant stability using radiographs and Osstell, over a 1 year. Materials and methods: The locations of the implants placement were divided into 4 areas; the maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars. In the maxilla, 8 and 9 implants were inserted in the premolar and molar areas, respectively. In the mandible, 11 and 51 implants were inserted in the premolar and molar areas. Marginal bone loss and ISQ of all implants (79) were measured after insertion, mounting the prosthetic appliance, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after loading. The marginal bone loss was measured from the radiograph using XCP bite, which was customized, and the implant stability measured using Osstell. Fisher's exact test (α=.05) was used to compare the success rates of each region. Results: The mean marginal bone loss for the upper and lower jaws were 1.537 mm and 1.172 mm. The mobility showed a non-significant reduction or increase according with time. The success rates were accounted for 94.12% and 98.39% in the upper and lower jaws; the premolars and molars were accounted for 100% and 96.67%. The two cases of early failure resulted from failure of primary stability during implant insertion. The late failures were not observed for 1 year after adding a loading to the implants. Conclusion: The Mg titanate implant showed good primary stability and good clinical results in both healing and function. 연구 목적: 부분 무치악 환자에서 Mg titanate implant (M Implant system, Shinhung, Korea)의 보철후 1년간의 방사선사진을 이용한 변연골 흡수량과 Osstell을 이용한 임플란트 안정성 평가 결과를 분석하여 임상적인 성공률에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 38명의 환자에 79개의 임플란트를 식립하여 보철 후 1년 동안 변연골 흡수량, 임플란트의 동요도, 임플란트 식립 위치에 따른 분포 및 성공률, 보철 전후에 따른 성공률을 분석했다. 결과: 변연골의 흡수량은 보철물 장착 후 1년간의 평가에서 상악에서는 평균 1.537 mm, 하악에서는 평균 1.172 mm의 변연골 흡수가 관찰되었으며, 전체적인 상하악의 평균 변연골 흡수량은 1.255 mm로 관찰되었다. 수술 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 ISQ값은 미약하게 감소하였다가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 상악과 하악 모두에서 식립 당일 이후 예비 인상일, 최종 보철물의 장착일과 주기적인 평가 기간 동안 ISQ값의 큰 증가나 감소를 나타내지는 않았다. 성공률은 상악에서의 94.12%였고, 하악에서의 98.39%였다. 결론: 본 실험의 결과로 미루어 Mg titanate implant는 임상적으로 양호한 결과를 보여주었다.

The object of this study is to remove the nitrogen from tannery wastewater using waste oyster shells and natural zeolites. In many cases, components of industrial process wastewater are non-readily biodegradable, but can be effectively removed from wastewater by means of adsorption process. The technologies of removing nitrogen, considered as one of the most important control nutrients causing eutrophication in various water bodies, have been investigated by many researchers. Through the continuous adsorption experience, waste oyster shells have effects to control COD and pH rising. And natural zeolites are found to have the good ability to adsorb NH₄^(+) ion in the wastewater. As a result of this study, continuous adsorption column filled with oyster shells and natural zeolite, especially the ratio of 1 : 2 by volume, is found to be effective in nitrogen removal and economic aspect.

유진홍,최정현,이동건,최수미,신완식,김춘추 대한감염학회 2004 감염과 화학요법 Vol.36 No.1

목적 : 조혈모세포 이식이나 화학요법을 받은 혈액질환 환자에서 침습성 진균감염의 양상을 분석하고 예후 인자를 정하기 위하여 이 연구를 실시하였다. 방법 : 2000년 3월부터 2001년 2월까지 가톨릭 조혈모세포이식센터에 입원한 318명의 환자들 중 진균 감염으로 의심되어 항진균제를 투여받은 122명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 실시하였다. 결과 : 74명의 환자가 EORTC/MSG 기준에 의해 침습성 진균증으로 판정되었다. 이들 중 6명이 확진이었고, 46명이 추정, 22명이 가능 증례이었다. 가장 많이 침습된 장기는 하부 호흡기이었다(72/74). 사망률은 32.4%이었다. 단변량 분석으로 예후 인자를 도출한 결과 입원 기간, 진단까지 걸린 시일, 그리고 amphotericin B의 총 투여량이 유의한 인자로 나왔다. 그러나 다변량 분석을 시행한 결과 입원 기간만이 독립적으로 유의하게 영향을 미치는 예후 인자로 산출되었다. 결론 : 침습성 진균 감염은 현재도 조혈모세포 이식이나 화학요법 후의 중요한 합병증으로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 진균 감염 합병증의 예후에 영향을 미치는 요소로 입원 기간이외에 진단의 신속성과 항진균제의 투여도 유의한지에 대해서는 후속 연구를 통해 재치 규명해야 할 것으로 생각된다. Background : Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are one type of representing total infections in compromised patients. To analyze the characteristics and to determine the prognostic factors of IFI in patients with hematologic diseases undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and/or chemotherapy. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients (n=122) who received antifungal treatment with the impression of fungal infection complicating post-HSCT or chemotherapy from March-2000 to February-2001. Results : Seventy-four out of 122 registered patients belonged to the IFI on the basis of EORTC/MSG criteria. Six patients were proven IFI, 46 were probable, and 22 were in the category of possible one. The most commonly involved organ was lower respiratory tract (72/74). The mortality was 32.4%. Univariate analysis revealed duration of hospitalization, days to diagnosis of IFI, and total amount of amphotericin B as significant prognostic factors. But multivariate analysis determined only duration of hospitalization from these variables as an independently influencing factor on the prognosis. Conclusion : Invasive fungal infection is still the major threatening complication of HSCT and chemotherapy. Further follow-up and extension of this study is necessary to elucidate more prognostic factors.

최정순,이희종,공수강,리투,류용구,김효준 한양대학교 이학기술연구소 2005 이학기술연구지 Vol.8 No.-

Apo B-100 is a constitutive component of low density lipoprotein (LDL) of which functions in packaging, transport and absorption of lipids Extortive binding of anti B_(4)-antibody onto the Apo B-100 should inhibited the functions of Apo B-100 Previously we had showed that the peptide B_(4) induced antibodies recognized Apo B-100 and thus elicited anti-obesity effect In this study we compared the efficacy of antibody inducing immune responses by introducing additional peptides fused to the C-termninal of B_(4) peptide We constructed TB_(4) hybride peptide of B_(4) with preS2 of HBV and B_(4)N another epitope orientation of chimeric TB_(4) Among these three artificial peptides B_(4)N was the most efficient inducer of the antibody against B_(4) These result explains that the B cell epitope and T-helper cell epitope orientation is very important factor to determine the antigenicity to humoral immunity. Apo B-100은 LDL에서 지방을 포장, 흡수, 운반하는 기능을 수행하는 단백질이다. Apolipoprotein B-100(Apo B-100)에 대한 특이 항체의 결합은 LDL의 정상 기능을 방해한다. 선행 실험에서 Apo B-100의 모조 펩타이드인 B_(4)가 Apo-B-100을 교차 인식하는 항체를 유도하고, 비만 억제 효과를 나타내는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서 B_(4)펩타이드의 C-terminal부분에 펩타이드를 융합, 첨가하므로 면역반응에서 항체유도의 면역응답반응에 어떠한 효과를 나타내는지 비교해 보고자 하였다. B_(4)펩타이드의 N-말단에 HBV의preS2 펩티드를 융합시킨 B_(4)T의 N-말단데 또다른 B세포 에피도프 펩티드를 융합시킨 B_(4)N을 작성하였다, 세종류의 하이브리드 펩타이드 중에서 B_(4)N이 B_(4)에 대한 항체유도능이 가장 효율적이다,. 이상의 결과로 B cell epitope과 T-helper cell epitope의 방향성이 체액성 면역 반응에서 항원유도능을 결정하는 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

최수미,박선희,이동건,최정현,유진홍,민우성,신완식,김춘추 대한감염학회 2005 감염과 화학요법 Vol.37 No.5

목적 : 본 연구에서는 국내 혈액질환 환자들에서 일차 항진균제를 부작용으로 인해 투여할 수 없거나, 일차 항진균제에 반응이 없는 침습성 진균 감염증의 구제치료로서 caspofungin의 효과와 이상반응에 대한 임상 경험을 소개하고, 예후인자를 분석해 보았다. 재료 및 방법 : Caspofungin은 첫날 70 mg, 이틀째 부터 50 mg을 하루 일회 투여하였고, caspofungin 종료시 그리고 종료 4주 후 반응을 평가하였다. 결과 : 총 55명의 환자가 분석에 포함되었고, 남자 32명, 여자 23명, 평균 나이는 38.2세(16-65세)였다. 기저 질환은 급성 백혈병 33명, 골수이형성 증후군 12명, 만성 백혈병 3명, 기타 7명이었다. 진균 감염은 확진 1명, 가능 5명, 추정 47명, 불확실 2명이었고, 감염 장소는 폐를 침범한 경우가 49명, 파종감염 6명이었다. 전체적으로 41.8% 환자에서 양호한 반응을 보였으며, 치료군, 치료후 기저질환의 상태, 침습성 진균 감염 진단시 호중구 감소증 여부, 스테로이드 등 면역억제제 사용 여부가 유의한 예후인자였다. 약제관련 이상반응은 14.5%에서 관찰되었고, 발열, 피부 발진, 간기능 저하 등으로 나타났다. 이중 4명에서 이상반응과 관련하여 투약을 중지하였고, 약제 중단 후 증상은 모두 호전되었다. Caspofungin 관련 신독성은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 : Caspofungin은 국내 혈액질환 환자에서 침습성 진균 감염증의 구제치료에 효과적으로 안전하게 사용될 수 있겠다. 최근 여러 항진균제들이 개발되어 임상에 도입되고 있는 바, 항진균 작용 범위, 독성, 약역동학적 특성, 비용-효과면 등을 고려하여 환자별로 직절한 항진균제를 선택하도록 해야 할 것이다. Background : Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancy. Patients with IFI who fail to standard therapy have poor prognoses. We investigated the efficacy and safety of caspofungin (CAS) in Korean adults with hematologic diseases and IFI who did not respond to the conventional antifungal therapy. Materials and Methods : Patients with IFI refractory or intolerant to standard antifungal therapy received CAS 50 mg IV daily after 70 mg loading dose on day 1. Efficacy and safety of CAS were assessed in patients who received more than one dose. Favorable response [complete (CR) or partial (PR)] was defined as significant improvement of all clinical symptoms, signs, and radiologic abnormalities. Results : From Feb. 2004 to Feb. 2005, 55 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. There were 32 male and 23 female patients with mean age of 38.2 years (range, 16-65). Underlying diseases were acute leukemia (33 cases), myelodysplastic syndrome (12 cases), chronic myelogenous leukemia (3 cases), and other hematologic diseases (7 cases). Thirty-six patients were receiving chemotherapy and 13 patients were under hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The number of proven, probable, possible, and indeterminate IFI cases was 1, 5, 47, and 2, respectively. Conventional amphotericin B, intravenous itraconazole, and liposomal amphotericin B were administered for average of 14.9 days prior to administering CAS. Mean duration of CAS therapy was 12.8 days (range, 1-45). Twenty-three patients (41.8%) showed favorable responses (CR : PR=8 : 15) at the end of CAS therapy. Chemotherapy group, neutropenic state, remitted state of underlying disease, and no steroid therapy were significant prognostic factors for favorable response. Eight (14.5%) patients developed drug-related adverse events such as fever, skin eruption, and hepatic dysfunction which were reversible after discontinuation of CAS. Drug-related nephrotoxicity was not observed. Conclusion : On the basis of our investigation, CAS was effective and safe as a salvage therapy of refractory IFI or as an alternative for patients intolerant to standard antifungal agents.
