Obesity may cause metabolic syndrome and adult diseases. This study was undertaken to investigate the ameliorative or useful effects of beanleaves on inflammation and liver damage in obese rat models. Rats were divided into three groups: a control group (normal diet, n=6), a fat diet group (45%?fat diet, n=7), and a bean leaf group (45%?fat+Korean bean leaves diet, n=7). Body weights in the bean leaf group were lower than those of the fat group (P<0.05). Serum tumor necrosis factor?α (TNF?α) and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) concentrations were lower in both the control and bean leaf groups than in the fat group (P<0.001). TNF?α concentrations in the bean leaf group were slightly higher than in the control group but statistically significant (P<0.05). The bean leaf group histologically exhibited lower fatty degeneration, spotty necrosis, and leukocyte infiltrations in hepatic tissues than those of the fat group. In the homogenized liver tissues, the cyclooxygenase?2 (COX?2) gene was only expressed in the fat group. The gene expression levels of hepatic TNF?α, inducible nitric?oxide synthase, peroxiome proliferator?activated receptor?α (PPAR?α), poly (ADP?ribose) polymerase (PARP), and transforming growth factor?β1 (TGF?β1) were weaker in the bean leaf group than in the fat group. These results suggest that adding bean?leaves to the diet may ameliorate obesity?induced systemic inflammation and liver damage and that bean leaves may be a useful food for preventing obesity and thereby metabolic syndrome and adult diseases

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm that arises from the mesothelium of a serosal cavity and is a rapidly fatal disease with a median survival of 4 to 12 months for untreated cases. Recently, we experienced a case with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma who was suspected hepatocelluar carcioma by abdominal CT scan and was confirmed by biopsy including immunohistochemical stain(calretinin) after surgery. We performed tumor excisions and wedge resection of the liver(segment Ⅷ)and inserted Tencoff catheter in abdominal cavity at 25th day of post-operation. We treated with intraperitoneal paclitaxel(25mg/m^(2)/day for 5 days) six courses monthly. She was well tolerable and is still living without any evidence of recurrence for 14th month of post-operation.

Gilbert 증후군은 인구의 7%에서까지 나타날 수 있는 매우 흔한 증후군으로서 비진행성인 양성의 만성적 경과를 치하며, 간질환의 증상과 징후가 없는 경한 비포합형 고빌리루빈혈증이 특징인 일종의 체질적인 증상으로서 혈장 빌리루빈 농도에 대한 사춘기의 영향 때문에 10대와 20대에 자주 진단이 된다. 따라서 임상적인 중요성은 미약하지만 높은 빈도가 예상되는 점에 그 중요성이 부여되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 적정한 임상적 진단법으로 기왕에 소개된 열량제한 시험과 phenobarbital 유도 시험을 시행하고 이들의 진단적 가치를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 1990년 7월부터 1999년 4월까지 충남대학교병원에 내원하여 HBsAg, IgG anti-HBc 및 anti-HCV가 음성이고, 간 초음파 스캔에서 이상이 없으며, 혈청 AST, ALT 및 AP가 정상인 비음주자에서 경한 비포합형 고빌리루빈혈증이 있는 14예의 환자들을 대상으로 ^(99m)Tc-DISID 스캔을 시행하였으며, 기저 치 총빌리루빈 및 포합형 빌리루빈 치를 측정한 다음에 하루에 400Kcal로 48시간동안 제한한 열량 제한 시험을 시행하였고, phenobarbital을 하루 60mg씩 5일간 투여한 후에도 각각 총빌리루빈과 포합형 빌리루빈 치를 검사하여 비포합형을 구하였다. 대상 환자들은 모두 14예로서 남자가 11예(78.6%)였고 여자가 3예(21.4%)여서 3.7:1로 남자에서 많았으며, 20대가 6예(42.9%), 30대가 역시 6예(42.9%) 및 40대가 2예(14.2%)로서 2,30대가 대부분(85.8%)이었다. 열량 제한 시험 후의 총빌리루빈 치, 비포합형 및 포합형 빌리루빈 치들은 평균 각각 5.5±2.7, 4.2±2.3 및 1.3±10mg/dL 로서, 시험 전 치들인 3.0±0.8, 2.2±0.8 및 0.7±0.4mg/dL 보다 유의하게(p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.023) 상승하였다. 포합형 빌리루빈 치도 유의하게 상승하였으나 비포합형의 상승보다는 훨씬 낮아서 주로 비포합형이 증가하였다. phenobarbital 투여 중 설사가 발생하여 중단한 1예를 제외한 13예에서 열량 제한 시험 후에 상승하였던 총, 비포합형 및 포합형 빌리루빈 치가 phenobarbital 유도 시험후에는 2.0±1.1, 1.5±0.8 및 0.5±0.4mg/dL로서 열량 제한 시험 결과보다 유의하게 낮아졌고(p=0.00, p=0.000, p=0.001), 열량 제한 시험 전의 기초치들인 3.0±0.8, 2.2±0.8 및 0.7±0.4mg.dL 보다도 더욱 낮아졌으며 유의한 차이(p=0.001, p=0.02, p=0.005)를 나타내었다. 14예에서 시행한 ^(99m)-Tc DISIDA 스캔에서 9예(64.3%)가 정상이었고, 5예(35.7%)에서는 심장 및 신장으로의 간외 섭취가 3예였고, 60분까지 소장 배출이 없는 배설 지연 예와 담낭 수축 불량 예가 각각 1예 씩 발견되었다. Phenobarbital 투여시험에서 민감도가 열량제한시험에 비해 더 높았다(92.3%와 50.0%). Gilbert 증후군에서 1일 400 Kcal로 48시간의 열량제한 시험과 1일 60mg의 phenobarbital을 5일간 투여하는 유도 시험은 편리하고 유용한 임상적인 진단법으로 이용할 수 있다고 생각된다. 그러나 열량 제한 시험에서는 증가 기준의 통일이 필요하다고 유추되며 phenobarbital 유도 시험이 민감도가 더 높은 것으로 생각된다. Gilbert's syndrome is very frequent and benign chronic process characterized by mild, intermittent, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia without any symptom and sign of liver disease. Previously intoduced caloric restriction test and phenobarbital stimulation test as two appropriate clinical tests had been examined and their diagnostic values were reevaluated. Fourteen patients with mild, persistent, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were included. Subsequently caloric restriction has been applicated by 400 Kcal/day for 48 hours and phenobarbital has been prescribed by 60 mg/day for 5 days. Therafter serum levels of total and direct bilirubin were measured. Most of the patients were third and fourth decade(85.8%) and male predominant. Each basal serum levels of total, indirect and direct bilirubin were 3.0±0.8, 2.2±0.8 and 0.7±0.4 mg/dL. After caloric restriction test, each levels were increased significantly to 5.5±2.7, 4.2±2.3 and 1.3±1.0 mg/dL(p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.023). After phenobarbital stimulation test for 13 patients had been practiced, increased levels of each bilirubin after caloric restriction test were decreased significantly to 2.0±1.0, 1.5±0.8 and 0.5±0.4 mg/dL(p=0.000, p=0.000, p=0.001) and these levels were significantly lower than basal levels(p=0.001, p=0.02, p=0.005). The sensitivities of caloric restriction test were 85.7%, 50.0%, and 71.4%, 35.7%(1.0, 1.5 mg increase of total bilirubin and 1.0, 1.5 mg/dL increase of indirect bilirubin). The sensitivities of phenobarbital stimulation test were 93.2% and 92.3% at criteria of 1.5 mg/dL increase of total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin. On the diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome, caloric restriction test and phenobarbital stimulation test are convenient and useful diagnostic tools in clinical face. And also phenobarbital stimulation test has higher sensitivity than caloric restriction test. Furthermore, standardization of bilirubin increment would be necessary in caloric restriction test.

腫瘍으로 인한 死亡率은 多樣한 名種 治療에도 不拘하고 循環器疾患 다음으로 2위를 차지하고 있다. 이에 著者는 韓醫學과 西醫學의 結合治療를 通해서 抗腫瘍藥物의 效果를 增進시키고 副作用을 줄이는 藥物의 開發을 爲하여 健脾 益氣 祛痰 補腎 杭癌效能을 갖고 잇는 扶正杭癌湯抽出液을 使用하여 Colony 形成抑制實驗, Sulforhoda-mine B(SRB) assay를 觀察하였고, 扶正抗癌湯抽出液과 抗癌化學療法劑인 Mitomycin C(MMC)를 Ehrlich carcinoma의 solid tumor와 ascites tumor에 各各 單獨 및 倂用 投與하여 抗腫瘍效果 및 Iysosomal enzymes의 活性에 대한 效果를 觀察하였다. 먼저 扶正抗癌湯抽出液을 Caki-1 cell, Hep 3B 및 A549에 투여한 후 增殖抑制作用을 colony 形成抑制實驗과 SRB assay를 통하여 觀察한 결과 濃度依存的으로 腫瘍細胞의 成長을 抑制하였다. Ascites form of Ehrlich carcinoma에 대한 抗腫瘍效果 實驗에서 扶正抗癌湯抽出液과 MMC를 병용투여한 결과, 扶正抗癌湯抽出液에 의하여 MMC의 抗腫瘍效果가 增加하였다. Solid form of Ehrlich carcinoma에 대한 抗腫瘍效果 實驗에서 扶正抗癌湯抽出液과 MMC를 병용 투여하였을 경우, MMC를 단독 투여하였을 경우보다 腫瘍의 크기가 현저하게 減少하는 결과를 보였다. Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cell에 扶正抗癌湯抽出液과 MMC를 병용 투여하였을 경우, MMC를 단독 투여하였을 경우보다 lysosomal enzymes의 活性이 强하게 나타났다. 本 實驗을 통하여 扶正抗癌湯抽出液은 MMC의 抗腫瘍效果를 증가시키는 效果를 보였다. 또한 扶正抗癌湯抽出液은 마우스에서 solid form of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma의 크기를 감소시키는 效果를 나타냈으며, 생존기간 實驗에서는 扶正抗癌湯抽出液과 MMC를 병용투여시 ascites tumor에 MMC를 단독으로 투여하였을 때와 비교하여 유의하게 생존기간을 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 扶正抗癌湯抽出液은 用量에 依存的으로 直接的인 抗腫瘍效果가 있으며, 抗癌療法劑인 MMC의 效果를 亢進시키는 것으로 보아 間接的인 抗腫瘍效果도 있을 것으로 思科되나 正確한 效果를 究明하기 위해서는 보다 正確한 抗腫瘍機轉에 대한 硏究와 藥物學的 硏究 및 臨床的 硏究가 追加되어야 할 것이다. In order to investigate the effects of Bujeonghangamtang Extract(扶正抗癌湯抽出液) on antitumor effects after human cell lines(A549, Hep3B, Caki-1, Ehrlich) transplantation into the peritoneal cavity or right groin in mice induced by RPMI 1640 and DMEM etc, the extracts of its herbal medicines were orally administered for 10 or 12 days. Experimental studies were performed for measurement of antitumor effect of Mitomycin C(MMC) and lysosomal enzyme's activities using colony forming efficiency, SRB assay which were regarded as a valuable method for the measurement of antitumor effects of unknown compound on tumor cell lines. The results obtained in this studies were as follows: 1. The change of colony-forming efficiency and SRB assay of Caki-1 cells, Hep3B and A549 Cells after exposure to the extract of Bujeonghangamtang extract depressed the growth of tumor cells by concentration of Bujeonghangamtang. 2. Antitumor activity of the ethanol extract of Bujeonghangamtang extract and MMC on ascites form of Ehrlich carcinoma in mice is slightly improved. Especially the mean of survival times in the group of 200㎎/㎏ and MMC 0.1㎎/㎏ is improved over 30.9%. 3. When Bujeonghangamtang extract and MMC are administered together, the weight of tumor is more decreased than MMC alone. 4. The lysosomal enzyme's activities of the Bujeonghangamtang extract and MMC are more significantly improved than MMC alone. According to the above result, it could be suggested that Bujeonghangamtang extract has indirect antitumor effect by the increase of MMC uptake.

Lupus vulgaris, which is a progressive form of postprimary tuberculosis in patients with a moderate to high degree of immunity and tuberculin sensitivity, is the most common, most serious, and most variable type of cutaneous and mucous membrane tuberculosis. Domonstration of M.tuberculosis directly or in culture in some of these eruptions can be difficult. It is essential to demonstrate the presence of M.tuberculosis in a clinical sample for a definitive diagnosis of tuberculosis. With the discovery of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the DNA diagnostic approach for infection has developed in a short period. With the dual purpose of definitive and rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis, this study examined the usefulness of a nested PCR for detection of M. turberculosis. Compared with a single-step PCR, the two-step PCR was able to enhance sensitivity approximately 1,000-fold on the basis of bacterial counts and DNA quantity. We concluded that two-step nested PCR appeared to be the most useful PCR protocol for early and sensitive diagnostic method detecting M.tuberculosis in acid-fast stain negative specimens.

chemosensitivity test of Geungsonojukwhan-Bijukbang was performed on the three different human cancer cell lines originated from liver, cervix and colon tissue, namely Hep 3B, Hela and HCT-15, which have similar doubling times. Semiautomated sulforhodamine B(SRB) assay appears to offer an valuable tool for chemosensitivity of unknown compounds, since it is a simple, valid and inexpensive method of assessing drug monitoring for large samples in a short time. The results obtained in this study were as follows 1. Good correlations were shown from the results of SRB assay and those of clogenetic assay. 2. As a result of exposure to Geungsonojukwhan, the proliferation of Hela cell and Hep 3B cell was slightly decreased in Geungsonojukwhan-Bijukbang(GIP), Geungsonojukwhan-Pejukbang(LUP) and Geungsonojukwhan-Sinjukbang(RTP). 3. As a result of exposure to Geungsonojukwhan, GIP showed better anticancer effect to HCT-15 cell lines than those of LUP and RTP. 4. The extract of Geungsonojukwhan-Bijukbang in 40℃ were more effective in cytotoxic response than those in 100℃. 5. The research showed that the higher concentration the more effective in the inhibition of proliferation of the cancer cell lines, however, the cytotoxic effect of Geungsonojukwhan-Bijukbang in the concentration of 1.60mg/㎖ and 3.20mg/㎖ showed the most effective inhibition rate according to the increase of concentration.

The pressure props of coiled tubes were studied experimentally with hydraulic oil Gulf Harmony 32 for unsteady flows. In addition, friction factors are investigated as function of Curvature ratio(a/R), Reynolds number (Re), Dean number(De), and frequency parameter(α). The three coils were used with curvature ratio (a/R) of O.1, O.04, and O.02, and the total length of coiled tube is 11.3m, respectively. The experimental results are obtained as follows; 1). Pressure drops of straight tubes agree with Hagen-Poiseuille fomula. 2). Ratio of friction factors (fc/fs) is more than 1, and increases with Reynolds number. 3). Friction factor increases as curvature ratio (a/R) and number of coil are higher. 4). The ratio of friction factor (fc/fs) is higher when frequency parameter is of about 2∼3.

The applicability of the system theoretic artificial neural network approach in developing effective nonlinear models of the rainfall-runoff process is demonstrated in this paper. The multi-layer networks, specially three-layer artificial neural networks have been used to model the rainfall-runoff process. And the data from the river Young-San has been utilized for the present study. This paper presents the potential of artificial neural network for simulating the hydrologic behavior of watersheds. The results of this paper suggest that the artificial neural network approach may provide a superior alternative to other methods of modeling for developing input-output simulation and forecasting models in situations that do not require modeling of the internal structure of the watershed.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists(GnRH-a) vary in structure and route of administration. We performed this study to compare patient response to intranasal nafarelin acetate versus subcutaneous triptorelin as adjuncts to ovulation induction for in vitro fertilization(IVF). From October 1995 to May 1996, sixty-four patients with tubal factor infertility entering their 79 cycles of IVF were randomized to receive either intranasal nafarelin acetate(Group Ⅰ, 38 cycles) or subcutaneous triptorelin(Group Ⅱ, 41 cycles). Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation(COH) using luteal long protocol of GnRH-a was used in all patients. Patient characteristics in the two groups did not differ significantly, nor did sperm parameters or endocrine profiles. There was no significant difference in ovarian response as indicated by duration of GnRH-a administration before ovarian stimulation, number of ampules of gonadotropin used and duration of gonadotropin administration in ovarian stimulation, and serum E( ) level and number of follicles(≥14mm) on the day of hCG administration between the two groups. There were no significant differences in clinical results of oocyte and embryo obtained such as number of oocytes retrieved, oocytes fertilized, embryos cleaved, embryos frozen, and embryos transfered between the two groups. There were also no significant differences between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ in clinical pregnancy rate(31.6% versus 34.1%) and abortion rate per clinical pregnancy(8.3% versus 14.3%). This study suggests that intranasal nafarelin acetate as well as subcutaneous triptorelin can be used successfully in ovulation induction using luteal long protocol of GnRH-a.
