Background : This study was conducted to determine the impact of temperature elevated and the effect of transplanting times based on climate change scenario on growth of 2-year-old korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer.) in temperature gradient chambers (TGC). Methods and Results : As a plant materials, ‘Yunpoong’ was cultivated in TGC at ambient temperature(Amb), Amb+2℃, Amb+4℃ and Amb+6℃ respectively. Ginseng was also transplanted on March 29, April 12 and 26 respectively. Investigation on characteristic of aerial parts were carried out on 28, 56, 84 and 112 days after transplanting and characteristic of roots were conducted on October 19. As transplanting time was faster and temperature was higher, the growth of aerial parts were increased. Compared with those of ginseng transplanted on March 29 with Amb, the root weight which tend to decrease depending on late transplanting time and high temperature decreased about 11.1%, 35.4% and 42.4% in Amb+ 2℃, Amb+4℃ and Amb+6℃ respectively. Ginseng transplanted on April 12 and 26 decreased about 20.9%, 33.9% respectively. Conclusion : Consequently, the more transplanting time extend, the more quantity increased in all temperature treatment. So, it is possible to increase in quantity to advance transplanting time although high temperature will be caused by the climate change.

Stock price index type of housing price indices were commonly used in Korea. However, this type of indices are not suitable for Korean housing market experiencing rapid changes in stock including both new constructions and demolitions. Especially, the recent Korean housing market has experienced substantial changes in housing characteristics. Basically, the stock price index type of housing price index requires a constant survey stock over time in order to maintain the comparability in total housing values. However, the constant stock concept is hard to accept in the Korean housing market accompanying with rapid increase and qualitative changes in housing stock. An alternative is a hedonic price index. However, the basic data requirements for the application of the hedonic model cannot be fulfilled in the Korean housing market where actual sale information is mostly unknown. In order to overcome this structural deficiency, the price indices in Korea are based o periodical price survey with the help of real estate brokers. If we accept the assumption that the whole condominium units belonging to a basic survey unit (an area type in an condominium complex) share the same housing characteristics and the surveyed price, we can use the repeat sale index concept with some modifications. The persistent price survey generates a perfect form of repeat sales data. This paper proposes a practical method for the application of repeat sale index to condominium sales price indexing.

Background: Pregnancy affects the course of Graves' Disease (GD), and patients who initially maintain euthyroid function into their middle trimester with minimum doses of antithyroid drugs become exacerbated after delivery. Even patients who are completely cured, requiring no treatment during pregnancy, can relapse after delivery. In this study, we examined the postpartum changes in the thyroid functions of patients with GD, and attempted to determine the factors contributing to these changes. Methods: The study subjects were recruited from pregnant women visiting our outpatient clinic for routine prenatal evaluations. 45 women previously diagnosed with GD, who had been treated and cured with hyperthyroidism, and were no longer taking any thyroid medications, were evaluated for 1 year post delivery. Results: Among 45 patients, 20 (44.4%) developed thyroid disorders following delivery. Postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) developed in 8 patients (17.8%), and GD developed in 12 (26.0%). The onset of the PPT disease 3.1 ± 1.4 months following delivery, which was significantly earlier than the 6.7 ± 2.7 months required for the post delivery onset of GD (p=0.003). The TBII values, measured during the thyrotoxic state in each womaen, were negative in women with PPT and positive in 71.4% of women with GD (p=0.030). The duration of treatment for hyperthyroidism prior or pregnancy, the number of recurrences, and the time interval without treatment, were not associated with the development of postpartum thyroid disorders. Whereas, the mean number of past pregnancies for women who developed PPT was 3.9 ± 2.1, and was significantly higher than the 2.2 ± 1.7 for women developing no thyroid dysfunctions (p=0.044). In 13 women their initial onset of GD occurred within one year postpartum, 7 (53.8%) having had a recurrence, which was significantly higher than in women whose disease onset occurred unrelated to delivery (5 of 32 women: 15.6%). Conclusion: Women with GD developed postpartum thyroid dysfunctions in 44.4% of cases. Women whose initial disease onset occurred within one year postpartum had higher recurrences of GD, and women who developed PPT had a history of higher gravidity compared to the euthyroid women postpartum. Therefore, if women with GD develop postpartum thyroid dysfunctions, the diagnosis should be made, and a treatment modality planned, following careful considerations of the patients' past obstetric history, changes in clinical manifestations and the TBII values

Ocean Color products have been used to understand marine ecosystem. In high latitude region, ice melting optically influences the ocean color products. In this study, we assessed optical properties in fjord around Svalbard Arctic sea, and estimated distribution of chlorophyll-a and suspended sediment by using high resolution satellite data, Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI). To estimate chlorophyll-a and suspended sediment concentrations, various regression models were tested with different band ratio. The regression models were not shown high correlation because of temporal difference between satellite data and in-situ data. However, model-derived distribution of ocean color products from OLI showed a possibility that fjord and coastal areas around Arctic Sea can be monitored with high resolution satellite data. To understand climate change pattern around Arctic Sea, we need to understand ice meting influences on marine ecosystem change. Results of this study will be used to high resolution monitoring of ice melting and its influences on the marine ecosystem change at high latitude. KOPRI (Korea Polar Research Institute) has been operated the Dasan station on Svalbard since 2002, and study was conducted using Arctic station.

Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between degenerative changes in brain [i.e., global cortical atrophy (GCA), medial temporal atrophy (MTA), white matter hyperintensities (WMH)] and neurocognitive dysfunction in Korean patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods A total of 62 elderly subjects diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease were included in this study. The degenerative changes in brain MRI were rated with standardized visual rating scales (GCA or global cortical atrophy, MTA or medial temporal atrophy, and Fazekas scales) and the subjects were divided into two groups according to the degree of degeneration for each scale. Cognitive function was evaluated with Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD-K) and several clinical features, including apolipoprotein E ${\varepsilon}4$ status, lipid profile and thyroid hormones, were also examined. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were performed to analyze the relationship between the degree of cerebral degeneration and neurocognitive functions. Results Demographic and clinical features, except for the age, did not show any significant difference between the two groups divided according to the degree of cerebral degenerative changes. However, higher degree of GCA was shown to be associated with poorer performance in verbal fluency test, word list recall test, and word list recognition test. Higher degree of MTA was shown to be associated with poorer performance in Mini-Mental State Examination in the Korean Version of CERAD Assessment Packet (MMSE-KC), word list recognition test and construction praxis recall test. Higher degree of white matter hyperintensities was shown to be associated with poorer performance in MMSE-KC. Conclusions Our results suggest that severe brain degeneration shown in MRI is associated with significantly poorer performance in neurocognitive tests in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, the degree of GCA, MTA and white matter hyperintensities, represented by scores from different visual rating scales, seems to affect certain neurocognitive domains each, which would provide useful information in clinical settings.

5HT 2A/T102C 다형성과 정신분열병 및 임상아형과의 관련연구

홍현상,백인호,김정진,이창욱,이 철,도규영 大韓神經精神醫學會 1998 신경정신의학 Vol.37 No.4

목 적 : 가계연구, 입양연구, 쌍생아연구들은 정신분열병의 원인으로 유전학적 요소가 매우 중요하다는 것을 지적해 주고 있다. 그러나 정신분열병의 유전적인 복잡성으로 인하여 많은 연구들이 시행되었음에도 유전방식이나 원인 유전자를 밝히지는 못하였다. 최근에는 5HT₂a수용체가 비정형항정신병약물의 주된 작용부위하는 것이 밝혀지면서 5HT₂a 수용체의 유전자가 정신분열병의 원인과 관련이 있을 것이라는 관심이 늘어나게 되었다. 따라서 저자들은 한국인 정신분열병환자들을 대상으로 5HT₂a 수용체 T102C 다형성과의 association study를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 환자군은 강남성모병원에 입원했던 DSM-Ⅲ-R의 진단기준에 의한 정신분열병환자로 250명이었으며 평균연령은 30.1±9.3세 이었다. 정신분열병환자를 위한 양성증상과 음성증상척도의 종합척도를 기준으로 점수가 1이상인 경우를 양성군, -1이하인 경우를 음성군으로 하였다. 대조군은 정신과나 신경과 질환의 과거력이나 가족력이 없는 236명의 지원자로 구성하였으며 평균연령은 23.6±3.7세이었다. 다형성과 정신분열병 및 임상양상과 임상아형 사이의 유전적인 관련성의 분석에는 로지스틱 회귀분석과 일원 변량분석을 시행하였으며 통계 프로그램으로는 SPSS 7.5를 사용하였다. 말초혈액에서 DNA를 분리한후 중합효소 연쇄반응으로 증폭하였으며, 증폭산물을 제한효소인 MspI으로 처리하여 유전자형을 판별하였다. 결 과 : 5HT₂a 수용체 T102C 다형성의 대립유전자 빈도와 유전자형 분포는 환자군과 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보여주지 못하였으며, 임상아형과도 유의한 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 정신분열병환자를 위한 양성증상과 음성증상척도중 음성증상척도는 유전자형에 따른 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(F=3.828, df=2, p=0.023). 결 론 : 본 연구의 결과는 한국인에서 5HT₂a 수용체의 T102C 다형성이 정신분열병의 발생과 임상아형의 결정에는 관련이 없으나 음성증상의 발현에는 관련이 있음을 시사해 준다고 하겠다. Objectives : Family, twin and adoption studies indicate that genetic factors play a crucial role in the etiology of schizophrenia. However, mode of inheritance of schizophrenia is uncertain, and genes for schizophrenia have not yet been identified despite extensive studies due to the complexity of the genetics of schizophrenia. Currently, 5HT₂a receptor gene has attracted considerable interest as a susceptibility gene of schizophrenia since the 5HT₂a receptor has been known as one of the major target sites of atypical neuroleptics. We conducted an association study of T102C polymorphism in the 5HT₂a receptor gene in Korean schizophrenic patients using PCR-RELP method. Methods : Two hundred and fifty biologically unrelated schizophrenic patients meeting DSM-Ⅲ-R criteria from Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital affiliated with Catholic University of Korea were recruited for our study. The patient group consisted of 123 male and 127 female subjects, aged 30.1±9.3years. The controls were volunteers for DNA library of Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital without family history of psychiatric or neurologic illness. The control group consisted of 124 males and 112 females, aged 23.6±3.7years. Amplified genomic DNA was digested by MspI. The significance of genetic association of the polymorphism was estimated by the logistic regression analysis and ANOVA using SPSS 7.5. Results : The allele frequencies and the genotypic distribution of 5HT₂a receptor gene were not significantly different between the patient and control group. In addition the allele frequencies and the genotypes of 5HT₂a receptor gene were not significantly associated with subtype of schizophrenia. However, negative symptom score according to genotype show significant difference(F=3.828 df=2 p=0.023). Conclusion : It is suggested that even if the development and subtype of schizophrenia may not be associated with T102C polymorphism of 5HT₂a receptor in Korean population, T102C polymorphism may be associated with the severity of negative symptom.

신경현,김준영,윤치순,최창욱,김학현 순천향의과대학 1978 Journal of Soonchunhyang Medical Science Vol.1 No.1

Glomus tbmor of the hand has been well documented lesion that usually presents as painful dermal nodule in the finger. Glomus tumor may be difficult in diagnostic and therapeutic problems because of relatively rare and not easily experienced cases. Normal glomus body presents in the skin and subcutis of the extremity, but the normal body is not more than 1 mm3) in size. Most evidence indicates that the main function of the normal glomus body is to aid in regulation of the skin circulation. The glomus tumor is thought to be an abnormal proliferation of the glomus body and accompained by the classic triad of symptoms : pain, tenderness and temperature sensitivity. This paper reports two cases of glomus tumor occurring in the nail bed and finger pulp. One case was found 30 years later & another case 15 years after the onset in spite of srvere pain, tenderness and lancinating pain when exposed to the cold tempera ture but the excision of the tumor resulted in complete recovery.
