목적: 당뇨병의 이환기간이 혈관의 내피세포 의존성 및 비의존성 이완능의 저하에 미치는 영향과 이환기간에 따라 oxygen-free radical(OFR)에 의한 동맥이완능의 손상정도에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: Streptozotocin(STZ)으로 당뇨병이 유도된 3 주 및 10주째의 백서군과 연령이 비슷한 정상 대조백서군의 적출 대동맥환을 norepinephrine으로 수축시킨 상태에서 내피세포 의존성 이완제인 acetylcholine(ACh) 및 비의존성 이완제인 nitroglycerine(NTG)에 대한 이완능을 즉정하여 비교 관찬하였다. 또한 xanthine과 xanthine oxidase의 혼합으로 생성된 H₂O₂에 대동맥환을 노출시킨뒤 역시 ACh과 NTG에 대한 이완능의 손상정도를 비교하였다. 결과: 3주및 10주째 당뇨병 백서의 대동맥환은 모두 대조군 백서의 대동맥환에 비해 ACh에 대한 이완능이 유의하게 감소하였으며 10주째 당뇨병 백서군에서의 ACh에대한 이완능의 저하는 3 주째 당뇨병 백서군에 비해 유의하게 심하였다.H₂O₂에 노출시킨 뒤 ACh에대한 이완능은 3주 및 10주 째 당뇨병 백서군에서 모두 대조군에 비해 유의하게 심한 손상을 보였으나 3주와 10주째 당뇨병 백서군 사이의 손상정도의 차이가 통계학적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 한편 3주 및 10주째 당뇨병 백서군 모두 NTH에 대한 대동맥환의 이완능은 대조 백서군과 별다른 차이가 없었으며 또 H₂O₂에 노출시킨 뒤에도 NTG에 대한 이완능의 손상은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: STZ-당뇨병백서에서 대동맥의 이완능은 당뇨병에 이환된지 3 주째에 이미 ACh에 대한 내피세포 의존성 이완능이 선택적으로 저하되며 당뇨병의 이환기간이 길수록 이완능의 저하가 심하였고, OFR에 의한 동맥 이완능의 손상도 내피세포 의존성 이완능에만 선택적으로 나타나나 이환기간에 따라 OFR에 의한 이완능 손상정도에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없음을 시사하고 있다. Objectives: Diabetes mellitus produces histological evidence of endothelial as well as changes in vascular function in experimental animal. Oxygen free radicals interfere with of destroy endothelium-dependent relaxation in normal and diabetic blood vessels. The present study was investigated whether the duration of diabetic state can affect the severity of impairment in endothelium-dependent and/or independent relaxation and the sensitivity to oxygen free fadical (OFR)-induced damage in diabetic rat vasculature. Methods: The relaxative responses of aortic ring precontracted with norepinephrine in vitro to cumulative concentrations of acetylcholine (ACh) and nitroglycerine (NTG) were conducted in 3- and 10- week streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats and agematched controls. After exposure to H₂O₂generated by mixing xanthine and xanthine oxidase, the degree of impairment in relaxative responses to ACh and NTG were also compared between 3- and 10-week diabetic rats. Results: The relaxative responses of aortic rings produced by cumulative concentrations of ACh were significantly lower in both 3- and 10-week diabetic rats than in the age-matched controls. The impairments of relaxative responses to ACh in 10-week diabetic rats were significantly greater than those in 3-week ones. After H₂O₂ exposure, the impairments of relaxative responses to ACh in 3- and 10-week diabetic aortas was also significantly greater than those in the control in the control ones. However, the severity of H₂O₂-induced damage in 10-week diabetic aortas was not significantly different than that in 3-week ones. In contrast, aortic rings of 3- and 10-week diabetic rats could still be fully relaxed by NTG, even after exposure to H₂O₂. Conclusion: These findings suggest that in SRZ-diabetic rat aortas selective impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation to Ach can be found early even over a 3-week period after the induction of diabetes and the impairment may be greater in those with the longer duration of the diabetic state and that the impairment of the vascular relaxation by OFR is also selective to endothelium-dependent response but the sensitivity of OFR-induced damage may not be related to the duration of the diabetic state.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the prospective associations of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) with quality of life, socio-occupational function and disability. Methods : 170 nurses were recruited 6om two general hospitals. Interviews were made at baseline and at four follow-up points (two mid follicular phases and two late luteal phases ofthe two consecutive menstrual cycles). The baseline evaluation Consis-ted of sociodemographic characteristics and menstmal history. PMDD was diagnosed by DSM-IV criteria after observation of the two menstrual cycles. The follow-up evaluations were consisted ofthe World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief form, the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale, and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale-II. Results : PMDD was detected 15 (8.8%) of 170 participants. The PMDD group showed significantly worse quality of life and socio-occupational functioning than the none-PMDD group particularly at the late luteal phases. No significant differences were found in sociodemographic characteristics and menstrual history between those with and without PMDD. Conclusion : PMDD was prospectively associated with worse quality of life and socio-occupational functioning in this study group.

시상하부-뇌하수체질환의 기저질환에 따른 종합적 뇌하수체전엽 자극검사의 진단적 가치를 알아보고자 81례의 뇌하수체 기능부전증환자를 대상으로 시상하부질환군과 Sheehan증후군, 말단비대증과 프로랙틴종, 그리고 뇌하수체선종에서 시야장애가 동반된 군과 장애가 없는 군으로 나누고 기능검사의 결과를 비교하였다. 1. Sheehan증후군 15례 가운데 GH 및 cortisol결핍이 전례(각각 100%)에서 FSH, LH 및 TSH결핍이 11∼12례(73∼80%)에서 관찰되었고 13례(86%)에서는 TRH에 대한 PRL분비증가가 저하 또는 소실되었다. 두개인두종 10례를 포함한 시상하부질환 14례 가운데 12례(86%)는 PRL의 기저지가 비정상직으로 증가되어 있었으며 TRH자극에 대해 PRL분비 증가가 11례(79%)에서 둔화되어 있었다. GH분비능도 11례(79%)에서 저하되었으며 그 밖의 cortisol, LH, TSH, FSH의 순으로 분비능이 저하되어 있었으나 그 빈도는 Sheehan증후군에 비해 전반적으로 낮았다. 2. 말단비대증 18례 가운데 14례(78%)에서 GH기저치가 비정상적으로 증가되어 있었고 13례(72%)는 저혈당자극에 대해 정상적인 GH의 증가를 보였으며 8례(44%)에서 고프로랙틴 혈증이 동반되었다. 프로랙틴종 18례 가운데 전례(100%)에서 PRL기저치가 증가되었고 13례(72%)에서 TRH에 대한 PRL의 증가반응이 둔화되었다. LH, FSH, cortisol 및 TSH분비능의 장애는 말단비대증군에서 프로랙틴종에 비해 다소 높은 빈도를 보이는 경향이었다. 3. 뇌하수체선종 가운데 시야장애가 동반된 21례에서 시야장애가 없는 23례에 비해 GH, cortisol및 LH의 분비반응이 저하된 빈도가 다소 높은 경향이었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 종합적 뇌하수체전엽 기능검사는 시상하부-뇌하수체질환의 기저질환을 진단하는데 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다고 생각한다. The combined stimulation test using TRH, LHRH and insulin has allowed investigation of the reserve of all pituitary tropic hormones under physiological and pathological conditions. To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of this test for differentiating the underlying causes of hypopituitarism, we analyzed retrospectively the results of these tests done in 81 patients with proven hypothalamo-pituitary disorders. 1. In 15 patients with Sheehan's syndrome as a typical type of primary hypopituitarism, responses of both GH and cortisol to insulin-induced hypoglycemia were decreased in 15 cases all (100% in both) and of FSH, LH and TSH in 11 to 12 cases(73-80%). Incremental response of prolactin(PRL) to TRH was diminished or absent in 13 cases(86%). In 14 patients with hypothalamic diseases, including 10 cases of craniopharyn-gioma, as a representative secondary hypopituitarism, the basal PRL levels were abnormally elevated in 12 cases (86%) and both responses of PRL to TRH and of GH to hypoglycemia were blunted in 11 cases (79% in both). The frequency of impaired cortisol secretion was 50%, followed by LH, TSH and FSH secretion : overall frequency much lower than in Sheehan's syndrome. 2. In 18 acromegalics with pituitary adenoma, basal GH levels were abnormally elevated in 14 cases(78%) and incremental responses of GH to hypoglycemia were found in 13(72%). Hyperprolactinemia was accompanied in 8 (44%). In 18 patients with prolactinoma, basal PRL levels were moderately to markedly elevated in all of them(100%) and responses of PRL to TRH were blunted in 13(72%). The frequency of impaired secretion of LH, FSH, cortisol and TSH was slightly higher in acromegalics than in patients with prolactinoma. 3. The frequency of impaired secretion of GH, cortisol and LH tended to be slightly higher in patients with pituitary adenoma associated with visual field defect than those without visual field defect. These results suggest that the combined pituitary stimulation test will give us some of reliable information for evaluating the underlying causes of hypopituitarism.

Diabetic foot infection is one of the important complications in patients with advanced diabetes mellitus. Limb threatening infections such as osteomyelitis, abscess, and necrotizing fasciitis are frequently accompanied by the disease. Non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) is a rare causative organism of diabetic foot infection. Thus, if one is not suspicious or meticulous, infection due to NTM will be easily overlooked and this will result in delayed diagnose and treat. Therefore, it is necessary to consider NTM as the causative organism if the wound does not respond to the conventional antibiotic treatment and the culture from the adequately obtained specimen reveals atypical acid-fast bacilli. We present a case of diabetic foot infection with osteomyelitis and abscess due to Mycobacterium mageritense, one of the rapid growing mycobacteria, that was successfully treated with surgical debridement and appropriate antibiotic treatment.

Infectious diseases imported from other countries have increased as more and more Koreans are going abroad for various purposes. Tsutsugamushi disease from other endemic area such as Southeast Asia is important, because it can occur in any season and eschar may be absent. We report a case of imported tsutsugamushi disease acquired in the Philippines. A patient presented with fever, headache, and maculopapular skin rash. However, eschar was absent. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 56-kDa gene of Orientia tsutsugamushi using buffy coat was positive. Serum indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay was initially negative but became positive with a titer of 1:320 at follow-up, Sequencing analysis revealed the strain to be 100% identical to the TW73R strain identified in Taiwan. After the patient received doxycycline, body temperature normalized in 12 hours. Tsutsugamushi disease is one of the differential diagnoses that should be included for patients with fever who have recently returned from Southeast Asian countries. PCR for O. tsutsugamushi using patient's buffy coat was useful for early diagnosis.

목적: in vivo 및 vitro에서 해마 신경세포의 발생단계별 NMDA 수용체 아단위 mRNA 발현에 대한 연 폭로 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 흰쥐 해마 신경세포의 발생단계별 NMDA 수용체 NR2A, NR2B 아단위 mRNA 발현에 대한 연의 영향은 정상군과 연 폭로군의 출생 후 7일, 14일, 22일 흰쥐의 해마에서 in situ hybridization으로 mRNA 발현 정도를 densitometer로 측정하여 비교하였고, 연과 NMDA 의 세포독성은 해마 신경세포 일차배양 후 도립현미경을 이용한 형태학적인 관찰과 LDH 활성도를 이용하여 측정하였다. 결과: 연 과 NMDA 에 의한 세포독성에 대한 in vitro 실험에서 형태학적 소견과 LDH 활성도에서 해마 미성숙 신경세포와 성숙 신경세포사이의 차이가 있었으므로, 연과 NMDA 독성효과는 해마 신경세포의 발달 단계에 따라 차이가 있다. 정상군의 해마에서의 NR2A mRNA 발현은 출생 후 연령이 증가함에 따라 점진적으로 증가하였으나, NR2B mRNA 발현은 출생 후 연령이 증가함에 따라 점진적으로 증가하였으나 NR2B mRNA 발현은 연령의 증가에 따른 변화가 없었다. 연 폭로에 희한 NR2A mRNA 발현은 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.05), NR2B mRNA 발현은 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 만성적 연 폭로는 NR2A를 포함하는 NMDA 수용체를 감소시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 결론: 연은 해마신경세포의 발생단계에서 NMDA 수용체 아단위 특히 NR2A mRNA 발현의 변화를 야기하여 시냅스 신호 전달에 영향을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.
