Since the long-term exposure of mutans streptococci to xylitol is known to select for xylitol-resistant(X^(R)) natural mutants, the occurrence and survival of such X^(R) strains were performed in batch culture methods. The aim of the study was to compare the differentiation and quantification of mRNA expression of the gtf genes of X^(R) and X^(S) mutans streptococci. Using a real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, the expression of each gtf was determined. In X^(R) strains, the relative levels of transcription of gtfB and gtfC were decreased while that of gtfD was increased, suggesting the presence of independent promoters. It also suggested that mutation related to production of glucosyltransferase occurred under the exposure of xylitol could explain the caries-preventive mechanisms of xylitol. 자일리톨에 장기간 노출된 mutans streptococci는 자일리톨에 내성이 발현되어 자일리톨 내성균주가 생성된다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 mutans streptococci에서 자일리톨 내성균주와 감성균주의 gtf 유전자 발현량을 각각의 유전자별로 정량적으로 분석하고 비교하는 것이다. 실시간 역전사 중합효소연쇄반응법을 이용하여 각각의 gtf 발현을 조사한 결과 gtfD는 증가한 반면. gtfB와 gtfC는 감소하였는데 이는 각 유전자의 독립된 조절기전이 존재함을 보여주는 것이다. 또한 자일리톨에 노출된 mutans streptococci에서의 glucosyltransferase와 연관된 유전자변형이 자일리톨의 치아우식증 예방효과의 작용기전 중 하나임을 알 수 있었다.

Chios gum mastic (CGM) is a resinous exudate obtained from the stem and the main leaves of Pistacia lenticulus tree native to Mediterranean areas. Recently it reported that CGM induce apoptosis in a few cancer cells in vitro. Bile acids and their synthetic derivatives induced apoptosis in various kinds of cancer cells and anticancer effects. It has been reported that the synthetic chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) derivatives showed apoptosis-inducing activity on various cancer cells in vitro. This study was undertaken to investigate the synergistic apoptotic effect of cotreatment with a natural product, CGM and a CDCA derivative, HS-1200 on G361 human melanoma cells. To investigate whether the co-treatment of CGM and HS-1200 compared with each single treatment efficiently reduced the viability of G361 cells, MTT assay was conducted. To investigate augmentation of apoptosis in G631 cells co-treated with CGM and HS-1200, DNA electrophoresis, Hoechst staining, proteasome activity assay, flow cytometry, Westen blot analyses, immunofluorescent staining and confocal microscopy were performed. In this study, G361 cells co-treated with CGM and HS-1200 showed several lines of apoptotic manifestation such as nuclear condensations, DNA fragmentation, the reduction of MMP and proteasome activity, the decrease of DNA content, the release of cytochrome c into cytosol, the translocation of AIF and DFF40 (CAD) onto nuclei, activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, PARP and DFF45 (ICAD), and up-regulation of Bax whereas each single treated G361 cells did not. Although the single treatment of 40 μg/mL CGM or 25 μM HS-1200 for 24 hrs did not induce apoptosis, the co-treatment of them induced prominently apoptosis. Therefore, combination therapy of CGM and HS-1200 could be considered, in the future, as an alternative therapeutic strategy for human melanoma.

Purpose: Although kidney is located in the retroperitoneal space laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is usually performed by the transperitoneal approach. At our institution the retroperitoneal approach is preferred. We evaluated the surgical outcomes, safety, oncologic outcomes, and compared with the results those of open radical nephrectomy in a contemporary cohort. Materials and Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2005 we performed retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in 37 patients with clinical stage cT1 and cT2. Data from the these patients were retrospectively compaired with 30 contemporary cases treated with open radical nephrectomy. The clinical parameters including perioperative outcomes, complications, pathologic data, learning curve and recurrence were evaluated. Results: For the 37 retroperitoneal radical nephrectomies mean tumor size was 4.6cm (range 2.3 to 8.0), surgical time was 203.6min (range 110-410) and blood loss was 241.8cc. Mean specimen size was 10.4cm (8.7-14.4). Mean analgesic used day was 1.3 (0-4) and mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.2 days. minor complications occur in 16 cases and no major complications occurred. Surgical margins were negative for tumor in all patients. Variable parameters were comparable between patients undergoing laparoscopic and open radical nephrectomy. However, laparoscopy resulted in decreased blood loss, surgical times, analgesia use, time to oral intake, time to drain removal and postoperative hospital stay. No different complication rate is between two groups Conclusions: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy can be a safe and effective treatment in renal cell carcinoma. Although no long-term follow-up is available, our follow up to mean 31 months confirm the effectiveness of retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in terms of surgical principles and oncological effectiveness.

교정치료 영역에서 성인들의 심미적인 요구도가 증가되면서 설측 교정치료는 여러 가지 단점에도 불구하고, 가장 심미적이라는 이유로 많은 주목을 받아왔지만 실제 치아이동을 결정지을 수 있는 브라켓을 부착하는 기준평면의 위치에 대해서는 거의 보고된 바가 없다. 이에 본 연구는 실제 브라켓이 부착되는 평면의 상하 평행이동이나 기울기 변화에 따라 치아이동 양상이 어떻게 변화되는지 알아보고, 바람직한 전치부 치체이동을 얻기 위해서 힘의 적용점을 어디에 두어야 하는지, 그리고 전치부에 어느 정도 모멘트를 부여해야 하는지 알아보고자 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 치아 변위 및 응력분포를 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 설측 브라켓 부착평면을 치은연쪽으로 평행이동 혹은 회전이동 시키고 견인하였을 경우, 절단연쪽으로 이동시켰을 때와 비교했을 때 비조절성 설측 경사이동이 감소하기는 하였으나 상하악 전치부 치아들의 설측경사 양상은 지속되었으며, 이러한 양상은 견치 브라켓의 hook 길이를 증가시켜도 계속 나타났다. 이와는 달리 설측 중심평면에 브라켓을 부착하고 각 치아별로 모멘트를 부여하였을 경우 설측 방향으로 개개 치아들의 치체이동이 발생하여 설측 교정치료 시 효과적인 전치부 치아의 후방견인이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. This study was performed to investigate the location of the ideal bracket positioning plane in lingual orthodontics using the three-dimensional finite element method. Displacement of the anterior teeth were evaluated according to the vertical and the angular movements of the bracket positioning plane. To achieve the ideal movement of anterior teeth in the lingual central plane, the location of the force application point and the amount of the moment applied to the four incisors were evaluated. As the bracket positioning plane was moved parallel toward the incisal edge, uncontrolled tipping and extrusion of the maxillary and the mandibular incisors were increased. But lingual tipping of the crown was decreased in the maxillary and the mandibular canines. As the bracket positioning plane was inclined toward the incisal edge, lingual tipping was increased in the 6 anterior teeth and extrusion of incisors and intrusion of the canine was also increased. As the retraction hook of the canine bracket was elongated, lingual tipping and extrusion of the central incisor and mesial movement and extrusion of the lateral incisor were increased. In the canine, mesial and labial movements of the crown were increased. When the moment was applied to the 4 incisors of the maxillary and the mandibular arch in the lingual central plane, 280 gf-mm in the maxillary central incisor, 500 gf-mm in the maxillary lateral incisor, 170 gf-mm in the mandibular central incisor and 370 gf-mm in the mandibular lateral incisor produced bodily movement of the individual tooth.

Purpose: We determined the use of scrotal ultrasonography in the initial diagnosis and management of testicular injuries due to blunt scrotal trauma. Mateiials and Methods: We reviewed 54 patients of scrotal trauma in the last 8 years. Forty patients were evaluated by ultrasonography preoperatively. A heterogeneous echo pattern of the testicular parenchyma with loss of oval shape, contour definition was the basis for diagnosis of testicular rupture. Among them, 33 cases underwent scrotal exploration and 7 cases were managed conservatively. The remaining 14 patients were evaluated only by physical examination, 8 patients of them were explored immediately because of suspicious testicular mpture. The accuracy of ultrasonography were determined by comparing radiographic interpretations with intraoperative findings. Results: Among the 33 patients who were evaluated by ultrasonography and explored immediately, there were 26 suspected testicular ruptures on ultrasonography. Surgical exploration revealed testicular rupture in 23 and simple hematoma in 10. The testicular rupture was correctly diagnosed by ultrasonography in the 22 cases, and there were 4 false-positive and 1 false-negative diagnoses of testicular rupture. The sensivity and specificity for the diagnosis of testicular rupture are 96% and 60%, and the positive and negative predictive values are 85% and 86%, respectively, Conclusions: Scrotal ultrasonography, with the main radiographic finding of a heterogeneous echo pattern of the testicular parenchyma with loss of oval shape, contour definition, is highly sensitive on the diagnosis of testicular rupture. And it increases the salvage rate for testicular rupture with preservation of the testicular function and prevents delayed complications of chronic pain, atrophy and orchiectomy associated with missed testicular rupture.

Community has been an important topic for social scientists, especially in regards to the processes of modernization and urbanization. Recently, in the context of the so-called "information revolution." on-line communities have gartered increasing interest. Despite wide and casual usage of the term "on-line community" in mass-media, little work has been done to conceptualize on-line communites and how they mimic and/or diverge from their more conventional (off-line) counterparts. This study hopes to fill this intellectual gap by re-examining the concept of community in the existing literature and by interpreting primary data collected through a survey of on-line interaction among college students. The existing literature indicates that communities in the 'real world' are not as spatially bound and homogeneous as the ideal-typical notion implies. Furthermore, our primary data shows that space and homogeneity even less significant for on-line communities, where interaction and subjective definition by participants are primary in community formation. Spatial locations(such as rural and urban)and off-line variables(such as gender or income)are not significant in the formation and types of on-line communities. This leads us to cautiously predict that on-line interaction may help construct a civil society based on solidarity other than traditional networks(such as school and regional ties).
