신경흥분독성과 간질발작발현은 glutamate 수용체활성과 연관이 있다고 알려져 있다. a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA), kainate 수용체에 대한 glutamate 활성을 포함하는 다양한 기전을 가진 항전간제인 Topiramate는 신경보호작용을 가진다는 증거가 제시되어 Topiramate가 간질발작 후 해마의 glutamate 수용체 발현에 미치는 효과를 관찰하였다. 흰쥐에 kainate를 복강 내 주사하여 간질중첩증을 유발시킨 후 Topiramate를 1주일 주사하였다 Apop tag in situ detection kit를 이용하여 세포손상을 관찰한 결과 kainate 유발 간질중첩증 1주일 후 해마의 CA1, CA3에서 심각한 세포사를 보였으나, Topiramte 처리 군에서는 세포사가 현저히 감소하였다. 간질중첩증 이후 NMDA 수용체 아형 1,2a, 2b 발현이 현저히 증가했으나 Topiramate 처치에 의해 NMDA수용체의 발현에는 뚜렷한 변화가 없었다. AMPA수용체에서는 GluR1이 간질중첩증 이후 현저히 상향 조정되었고 GluR2는 현저히 하향조정 되었다 Topiramate 1주일 처리 시 간질중첩증으로 인해 변화된 CluR1과 GluR2의 발현이 역전되었다. 결론적으로 Topiramate는 간질중침증에 의한 CluR1/CluR2 발현비의 증가로 유발되는 흥분성 신경세포사를 억제시킴으로써 신경보호작용이 있는 것으로 보인다. Excitotoxicity and epileptogenesis have often been associated with glutamate receptor activation. Accumulating evidences indicates that topiramate (TPM), an antiepileptic drug with multiple mechanisms of action has neuroprotective activity. We explored the neuroprotective effect of TPM on the status epilepticus (SE)-induced hippocampal neuronal death. After development of SE by kainite injection (15 mg/Kg), rats were treated with TPM (10mg/kg) for 1 week. The neuronal death was detected by Apop tag in situ detection kit, and the expression levels of glutamate receptors were semi-quantitatively analyzed by immunoblot. Kainate-induced SE caused a significant neuronal death and cell loss in CAI and CA3 regions of hippocampus at 1 week. However, treatment of TPM for 1 week after SE markedly reduced hippocampal neuronal death. The expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit 1, was increased by SE, but was not affected by 1 week treatment of TPM. The expressions of NMDA receptor subunit 2a and 2b were not changed by either SE or TPM. As for ${\alpha}-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate$ (AMPA) glutamate receptors (GluR), kainate-induced SE markedly up-regulated GluR1 expression but down-regulated GluR2 expression, leading to increased formation of $Ca^{2+}$ permeable GluR2- lacking AMPA receptors. TPM administration for 1 week attenuated SE-induced expression of both the up-regulation of GluR1 and down-regulation of GluR2, reversing the ratio of GluR1/GluR2 to the control value. In conclusion, TPM protects neuronal cell death against glutamate induced excitotoxicity in kainate-induced SE model, supporting the potential of TPM as a neuroprotective agent.

To minimize the trial and error by farmers who have no other choice but to use antibiotics for human-disease control, because no agricultural tetracycline for jujube witches-broom disease is available at this point. therapeutical efficacy of several commercial antibiotics against the disease through trunk injection was evaluated. The efficacy of human tetracyclines in trunk injection of jujube tree for witches-broom therapy varied to some extnet. Tetracyclines for intravenous or subepidermal injection showed the strongest symptom-suppression effect. Those, however, were not practical because of high price. On the other hand, tetracyclines in capsule were much cheaper than the former and can be used practically. For trunk injection, just the powder in capsule should be dissolved in clean water and then filtered through cheese cloth or tissue papaer to remove the sediments unnecessary for trees. Otherwise, the sediment would clog the injection hole and the feeder tube. In this experiment. tetracycline HCl of Glaxo made the least sediment in the solution. In addition, the plastic bottle to contain Korean wine was much cheaper and more practical than the commercial one for tree injection.

Abstract - In this paper, we propose a bidirectional mobile Ad Hoc routing protocol based on AODV(ad-hoc on-demand distance victor routing) with QoS(quality of service) support. At presence, wireless mobile communication focuses on how to efficiently support mobility of users more than QoS guarantee. However, in order to satisfy requirement of various applications which have been or will be served, QoS guarantee between end point is a very important issue. The existing AODV routing protocol is implemented to use only BE (Best Effort) service. However, actual wireless mobile environment requires to reduce a waste of communication resources and meet with the real-time change of data paths by setting up routes with QoS support, considering available communication resources at each node in advance. Therefore, in this thesis, we propose an adaptive QoS support method using hello message in order to rapidly meet with the change of available communication resources and to smoothly perform route maintenance. For performance evaluation, we analyzed the average date reception rate. At that time, we used evaluation parameters such as node's mobility -stop time, hello message period, and packet priority, considering the node's mobility and the number of best effort/QoS data flows. As results, we found that with our proposed method the average data reception rate was increased 16.3% for 0 mobility-stop second case and 4.7% for 300 mobility-stop second case.

목적: 장관골 감염성 불유합의 치료 시 항생제 혼합 시멘트 정을 이용한 이단계 재건술의 결과를 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년 1월부터 2002년 9월까지 장관골 감염성 불유합으로 이단계 재건 수술을 받은 41예 (대퇴골 26예, 경골 15예)를 대상으로 하였다. 일단계 수술에서는 광범위한 변연 절제술, 부골 제거 및 세척술과 기존 고정 장치의 제거 또는 외고정 장치로의 교환을 시행한 후 시공 (dead space)과 불유합 주변 연부조직 내 항생제 혼합 시멘트 정을 삽입하였다. 임상적 감염 증상이 호전된 평균 8.7주 (3주~32주) 후 이단계 재건술로서 Ⅰ군은 내고정 장치 (금속판 5예, 골수강내 금속정 8예), Ⅱ군은 외고정 장치 (Ilizarov 25예, Monofixator 3예)로 각각 고정하고 17예에서는 골내 이동술이나 골 연장술을 시행하였다. 양군 모두 필요한 경우 골 이식과 시멘트 정의 교환을 추가하였다. 추시 기간은 16개월에서 최장 71개월로 평균 45개월 이었다. 치료 결과는 골유합 기간 및 Paley 방법에 의한 방사선상 골유합 상태와 하지 기능으로 평가하였다. 결과: Ⅰ군 13예 전부와 Ⅱ군 28예 중 26예에서 감염의 치료와 골유합을 얻었다. 이단계 재건술 후 골 이식술, 골 소파술, 외고정 핀 교환과 각변형 교정술, 피부 이식 또는 근육 피판 회전술 등의 보조적 시술이 Ⅰ군은 평균 2회, Ⅱ군은 평균 6.2회 추가되었다. 평균 골유합 기간은 Ⅰ군이 19.3주이고 Ⅱ군이 23.1주로 내고정군이 더 빨랐다. 방사선상 Paley 골유합 상태는 Ⅰ군이 우수 8예, 양호 5예이었고, Ⅱ군이 우수 18예, 양호 7예, 보통 1예, 불량 2예 이었다 (p=0.492). 기능적 결과는 Ⅰ군에서 우수 6예, 양호 6예, 보통 1예 이었고, Ⅱ군에서는 우수 10예, 양호 13예, 보통 3예, 불량 2예 이었다 (p=0.267). 결론: 항생제 혼합 시멘트 정의 골수염 치료 효과가 관찰되었으며, 감염이 호전된 후 내고정 장치로 교환해 준 군이 외고정을 유지한 군에 비하여 추가 수술 횟수가 적고, 골유합 기간도 빨랐다. Purpose: To evaluate treatment results between internal na external fixation groups in two-stage reconstruction of infected nonunion of long bones using antibiotics-impregnated cement beads. Materials and Methods: In the first stage, preexisting hardwares were removed and radical debridement was done. The dead space was filled with antibiotics -impregnated cement beads and the nonunion sits was immobilized by external fixation, cast or skeletal traction. In the second stage, all cases were divided into two groups; the nonunion was fixed by internal fixation in group Ⅰ versus external fixation in group Ⅱ. The intervening period between the first and second stage was average 8.7 weeks (range, 3~23 weeks). Results: The follow-up period was average 45 months (range, 16~71 months). Infection control and bone union were achieved in all 13 cases of group Ⅰ. Infection recurred in two of 28 cases in group Ⅱ, one underwent above-knee amputation and the other case was lost in follow-up. The mean number of supportive operations including repeated curettage, augmentation and change of infected pins, angular correction, and soft tissue flap was average 2 and 6.2 times respectively in group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ. Bony union period was average 19.3 and 23.1 weeks in each group. According to Paley's classification, group Ⅰ was similar to group Ⅱ in bony and functional result (p>0.05). Conclusion: Antibiotics-impregnated cement beads provided positive effect on infection control. Internal fixation group showed less number of additional operations and earlier bony union than external fixation group.

Milled Korean pine (Pinus densiflora) wood was used to evaluate its adsorption capacity of Cu(Ⅱ) ions from aqueous solution by running a series of batch experiments. Prior to the tests, the milled woods were pretreated with 1N NaOH, 1N HNO_(3), and distilled water, respectively, to examine the effect of pretreatment. Within the tested pH range between 3 and 6, copper adsorption efficiency of NaOH-treated wood(96~99%) was superior to the HNO_(3)-treated wood(19~31%) and distilled water-treated wood(18~35%). The efficiency of copper removal by wood enhanced with increasing solution pH and reached a maximum copper ion uptake at pH 5~6. Adsorption behavior of copper onto both raw and HNO_(3)-treated woods was mainly attributed to interaction with carboxylic acid group. For NaOH-treated wood, carboxylate ion produced by hydrolysis or saponification was a major functional group responsible for Cu sorption. NaOH treatment of wood changed the ester and carboxylic acid groups into carboxylate group, whereas HNO_(3) treatment did not affect the production of functional groups which could bind copper. A pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well for the sorption of copper ion onto NaOH-treated wood. A batch isotherm test using NaOH-treated wood showed that equilibrium sorption data were better represented by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model.

Background: From many previous studies, Pulmonary hypertension is the known independent predictive factor of the mortality in COPD. Also pulmonary hypertension is the major cardiovascular complication of COPD and is associated with the progression to cor pulmonale and poor prognosis. Author want to analyze the correlation between pulmonary hypertension and the severity of COPD which are classified by forced expiratory volume in one second, and the extent of progression to corpulmonale. Methods: Retrospectively we investigated the medical records of 118 patients with COPD who had pulmonary function test and echocardiogaphy more than one times during one-year follow-up (from June, 2005 to May, 2006) at respiratory division in chosun university hospital, and then 50 patients were enrolled in this study. We classified the severity from FEVl in pulmonary function test based on the GOLD guideline, also this was comparably analyzed with RVSP, RVIDd, Visual Grading from echocardiography. Results: 16 patients out of 50 were classified as moderate severity, 25 patients were severe, and 9 patients were very severe group. RVSP was higher in more severe groups than less severe groups but when it comes to pulmonary hypertension that RVSP is over 35 mmHg, there was no valid difference lies in those groups. As FEVl decreases RVSP and RVIDd increases, and observed relationship between RVSP which was classified as below 35 mm and above 35 mm groups and visual grading which was classified as normal and dilatated groups revealed valid correlation, Conclusion: As pulmonary function decreases, progression to pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale increases but there was no remarkable difference of prevalence in above moderate severity groups. 연구배경 폐고혈압은 이전의 많은 연구에서 만성폐쇄성폐질환에서 독립적인 사망의 예측인자로 알려져 있다. 또한 폐고혈압은 만성폐쇄성폐질환의 주요한 심혈관계 합병증이며, 폐성심으로의 진행 및 불량한 예후와도 관련되어 있다. 이에 저자는 폐고혈압과 1초간 노력성호기량으로 분류되는 만성폐쇄성폐질환의 중증도 및 폐성심으로의 진행 정도를 비교 분석하여 이들의 상관관계를 밝혀보고자 한다. 방법 2005년 6월부터 2006년 5월까지 1년 동안 본 병원 호흡기 내과에서 폐기능검사와 심장초음파 검사를 각각 1회 이상 시행한 적이 있는 118명에 한하여 의무기록을 후향적으로 조사하여 이 중에서 50명을 대상으로 하였다. 폐기능검사 시행 결과 얻은 1초간 노력성호기량을 바탕으로 GOLD guideline에 따라 중증도를 분류하였으며 이를 심초음파 시행 결과 얻은 우심실수축기압, 확장기말 우심실내부간격, 시각등급과 비교분석하였다. 결과 대상 환자 50명중 16명은 중등증, 25명은 중증, 9명은 최고중증 그룹으로 분류되었다. 우심실수축기압은 중증도가 높은 그룹에서 낮은 그룹에 비해 더 높게 나타났으나 폐고혈압에 해당하는 우심실수축기압이 35 mmHg이상인 환자에 있어사는 각 그룹간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 확장기말 우심실내부간격, 시각등급 또한 중증도와 유의한 차이를 보이지 안항ㅆ다. 1초간 노력성호기량이 감소함에 따라서는 우심실수축기압, 시각등급은 증가하였으며 우심실수축기압을 35mmHg 미만과 이상인 그룹으로, 시각등급을 정상과 확장이 있는 그룹으로 분류하여 비교한 결과에서는 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 결론 폐기능이 감소할수록 페고혈압 및 폐성심으로의 진행이 증가하였으나 폐기능검사에서 중등도 이상의 그룹에서 유병률의 차이는 크지 않았다.

In this paper, a new focusing method, to be called the sampled delay focusing (SDF), is proposed to improve the B-scan lateral resolution. In SDF, sampling sum process can replace the conventional delay sum sampling process, and thus the analog delay lines are no longer necessary. This method offers continuous dynamic focusing on the resolution pixel basis if the maximum delay time is less than the sampling interval. Second order sampling is adopted in order to extend the sampling interval.

Sang Ha Lee(Sang Ha Lee),Kyu Hyung Park(Kyu Hyung Park),Se Joon Woo(Se Joon Woo),Sang Jun Park(Sang Jun Park),Kwangsic Joo(Kwangsic Joo) 대한안과학회 2022 Korean Journal of Ophthalmology Vol.36 No.6

Purpose: We investigated the clinical features of Korean patients with retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (RCH) and genetic variants of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with RCH from 2003 to 2021 at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Sporadic and hereditary RCH associated with VHL disease were classified based on the specific tumors and family history. Clinical features, including the location and number of RCH and bilateral involvement, were investigated. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and direct sequencing targeting the VHL gene were performed for six RCH cases associated with VHL disease. Results: A total of 18 patients (23 eyes) were enrolled in this study. The mean age at diagnosis was 37 ± 15 years. Twelve patients had hereditary RCH associated with VHL disease, and six patients had sporadic RCH. All five patients with bilateral RCH were clinically diagnosed with VHL disease, and 13 patients had unilateral RCH. Juxtapapillary RCH was only observed in patients with VHL. The most common complication of RCH was the epiretinal membrane, followed by the subretinal fluid. Pathogenic variants were identified in four patients. All three patients with type 1 VHL had the well-known missense mutation p.Glu70Lys, and one patient with type 2 VHL had the nonsense mutation p.Trp88Ter. Conclusions: In Korean patients with RCH, bilateral involvement and juxtapapillary RCH are highly likely to be associated with VHL disease. Because RCH may be the first clinical manifestation in patients with VHL, active genetic testing of the VHL gene and systemic evaluation are required.

Desmoplastic melanoma developed in a patient with Parkinson disease

( Se Ha Park ),( Shin Young Song ),( Seul Ki Lee ),( Jeong Soo Kim ),( Hee Joo Kim ),( Jin Ok Baek ),( Hyang Joon Park ),( Joo Young Roh ) 대한피부과학회 2018 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.70 No.1

Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare variant of malignant melanoma and represents <1% of all cutaneous melanoma. Recently, there has been much speculation on the relationship between Parkinson disease(PD) and melanoma. According to a recent prospective north American study, it has found a 7-fold increased relative risk for melanoma in patients with PD. A 81-year-old female presented with erosive crusted nodule on a violaceous indurated plaque on her nose. She had diagnosed as PD 5 years ago and had been treated with Levodopa. Histopathologic examination revealed hyperchromatic spindle-shaped cells in the dermis mixed with dense collagen bundles Neurotropic features, a tendency of the malignant spindle-shaped cells to invade a nerve were presented. Immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein, CD 68, Cyclin D1 showed positive results for the infiltrated spindle shaped cells. Based on these findings, final diagnosis of desmoplastic melanoma was made. Patient had been treated with surgical excision and local flap. Both PD and melanoma are multifactorial disease covering genetic and environmental risk factors. Possible assumption on the connections of two diseases have been explored, including pigmentation genes in neural-derived cells, pesticides, MC1R polymorphisms, and abnormal cellular autophagy. Physicians also may consider counseling melanoma patients about PD risks and performing cutaneous melanoma surveillance in PD patients.
