Background Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental estrogen widely exposed to human beings, and there are more studies on its reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption and neurobehavioral disorders. Recent few studies have found that BPA has immunotoxicity, and its mechanism is not clear. Therefore, the effects of BPA on immune system have attracted extensive attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of perinatal exposure to BPA on regulatory T cells (Treg) and Th17 cells in female offspring mice. Methods Twenty-one pregnant C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: a control group, low-dose BPA (0.2 μg/mL) and high-dose BPA (2.0 μg/mL) exposure group. All received BPA exposure via drinking water from gestational day 6 to the end of lactation. Female offspring were fed a normal diet and drinking water for 1 month. The percentages of Treg and Th17 cells, the levels of Foxp3 and RORγt protein and IL-17 and TGF-β from spleen tissue or blood were measured in female offspring. Results The percentage of Treg cells and levels of Foxp3 protein decreased, while the percentage of Th17 cells and levels of RORγt protein increased, which showed a dose–effect relationship. The levels of serum TGF-β were significantly lower and the levels of serum IL-17 were statistically higher in BPA-exposed female offspring compared with controls (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). But there were no statistical difference in the levels of serum TGF-β and IL-17 between 0.2 μg/mL and 2.0 μg/ mL BPA groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion BPA exposure during pregnancy and lactation could cause abnormal differentiation and function of Treg and Th17 cells in female offspring mice, which was associated with down-regulated Foxp3 and up-regulated RORγt protein, respectively. Our findings indicated that BPA exposure during early development may play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases later.

Objectives : To observe the effect of acupuncture treatment and western medical treatment on frozen shoulder patients. Methods : 39 voluntary patients were randomly assigned to the Eastern treatment group(E group, n=22) and the Western treatment group(W group, n=17). The E group received acupuncture treatment on LI15, TE14, GB21 and Master Dong's acupuncture points, Shin-gwan and Gyun-joong, twice a week for 4 weeks. The W group received suprascapular nerve block, subacromial injection and trigger point injection, twice a week for 4 weeks. Both groups were instructed to practice self exercise during their daily lives. Evaluations were made before treatment and after treatment using Constant Shoulder Assessment(CSA), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI) and the patient's satisfaction concerning the treatment was measured by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). The obtained data were analyzed and compared. Results : The E group showed significant improvement(p<0.05) according to the CSA and SPADI. The patient's satisfaction scored 5.67 on a scale of 10. The W group showed significant improvement(p<0.05) according to the CSA and SPADI. The patient's satisfaction scored 7.73. But the difference between the two groups were insignificant according to CSA and SPADI. Conclusion : Both acupuncture and nerve block treatment significantly improved frozen shoulder. But the difference of the two treatments was insignificant.

Heatwave emergency alert messages (EAM) not only provide objective information on heatwave occurrences but also include behavioral guidelines, such as avoiding outdoor activities or going out to respond to heatwaves and minimize damage. To investigate the EAM's effectiveness, we analyzed the changes in the floating population during 2021 using Seoul dong-unit and hourly location-based mobile big data. We also examined what socioeconomic and physical environmental characteristics could cause differences in the effectiveness, focusing on the fact that EAM may have different effects depending on regional factors. The findings revealed a notable reduction in the overall floating population of Seoul, ranging from 0.1 to 3.4%. When examined by region, an average decrease of 2.4 to 5.6% was observed, indicating the different effects of EAM by region. Further analysis of regional characteristics highlighted that areas with low EAM effectiveness were characterized by a lower ratio of senior residents, higher employment concentration, and higher accessibility to public transportation. Additionally, the number of household members, gender distribution, average age, and presence of green spaces can contribute to the gap in the effectiveness of EAM between regions. 폭염 긴급재난문자는 폭염 대응 및 피해 최소화를 위하여 폭염 발생에 대한 객관적인 정보 제공뿐만 아니라 야외활동 자제 또는 외출 자제 등의 행동 지침 내용을 포함하고 있다. 본 연구는 폭염 긴급재난문자의 효과를 분석하기 위해 2021년 폭염기간을 대상으로 서울시 동-시간 단위의 위치기반 모바일 빅데이터를 활용하여 유동인구 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 지역의 사회경제적⋅물리환경적 특성에 따라 폭염 긴급재난문자의 효과가 다르게 나타날 수 있는데 주안을 두고 어떠한 특성이 긴급재난문자의 효과 차이를 발생시킬 수 있는지 검토하였다. 분석 결과, 서울시 전체 유동인구는 폭염 긴급재난문자로 인해 0.1~3.4%의 범위에서 감소하였다. 한편, 지역별로는 평균적으로 2.4~5.6% 범위에서 감소하였으며, 긴급재난문자가 지역마다 효과가 다르게 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다. 긴급재난문자의 효과가 큰 지역과 작은 지역 간의 차이를 분석한 결과, 긴급재난문자의 효과가 작은 지역은 고령인구 비율이 낮은 특징이 있었으며, 고용집적도가 높거나 대중교통 접근성이 높은 특징이 있었다. 이외에도, 사회경제적 특성인 가구원 수, 성비, 평균연령과 물리환경적 특성인 녹지 비율이 지역 간 폭염 긴급재난문자 효과의 격차를 발생시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The authors diagnosed a 54-year-old male as central mucoepidermoid carcinoma after undergoing clinical, radiological and histopathological examinations. The characteristics were as followed: 1. Clinically, the patient complained of the painless unilateral swelling of the left mandibular molar region and had a pus discharge through the fistula. Painful nodule was palpated on the scalp of the left frontal area and it was regarded as a metastatic lesion. 2. Plain radiographs showed the ill-defined permeative radiolucent lesion. The osteolytic lesions were also detected in the cranial bone, number 9 and 11 ribs, scapula, and vertebral bodies. 3. The mandibular CT and PNS MRI showed the swelling of the left mandible and the enlargement of the several lymph nodes of 1.5 cm in size. 4. Histopathologically, many solid epidermoid type cells were mixed with mucus-secreting cells and they were arranged in duct-like structure. Most of them were epidermoid type, which indicates a high grade tumor. Mucins could be found in mucicarmine staining.

Patient with complaints of swelling, pain in the maxillary region and discomfort visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital in August last year. Clinical examination and diagnostic imagings implied he was suffered from fungal hyphal infection but no causative fungus was found by the histopathologic and microbiologic investigation. Therefore he was diagnosed with nonspecific inflammation. But as yet, we do think this case is very similiar to some kinds of mucormycosis. So we presented this case for more thorough discussion. Followings are founded in the examination. 1. Patient had suffered from Diabetes mellitus and complained of stuffness, headache, swelling in buccal checks and paresthesia. And we found more maxillary bony destruction and ulcer with elevated margin in the palate by clinical examination. 2. In the first visit, Plain films revealed general bony destruction of the maxilla, radiopaqueness in the sinonasal cavities. CT and MRI showed soft tissue mass filled in the paranasal sinus except frontal sinus and bony destruction in involved bones. 3. No causative bacteria and fungus was found in the biopsy and microbiologic cultures. 4. Caldwell-Luc operation and curettage were carried and antibiotics were taken for 4 months. But now he was worse than in the past. 5. In the second visit, involvement of orbit, parapharyngeal sinus, clivus, cavernous sinus and middle cranial fossa were seen clearly in the CT and MRI.

The radiation-induced apoptosis was studied for two human cancer cell lines (KB cells, RPMI 2650 cells) and the human gingival fibroblast cell line (HGF-1 cells). The single irradiation of 2, 10, 20Gy was done with 241.5 cGy/min dose rate using the ?? MK cell irradiator. The cells were stained with propidium iodide and examined under the fluoro-microscope and assayed with the flow cytometry a day after irradiation. Also, the LDH assay was done to determine the amount of necrotic cells. The obtained results were as follows: 1. On the fluoro-microscope, many fragmented nuclei were detected in the KB, RPMI 2650, and HGF-1 cells after irradiation. 2. On the DNA content histogram obtained from the flow cytometry, the percentages of the pre-Gi peak of the control and 2,10 and 20Gy irradiation group were 4.5, 55.0, 52.3, and 66.6% on KB cells, 2.7, 3.3, 31.8, and 32.6% on RPMI 2650 cells and 2.8, 21.8, 30.4, and 40.2% on HGF-1 cells respectively. 3. The number of G1-stage cells was abruptly decreased after 2Gy irradiation on KB cells and 10Gy irradiation on RPMI 2650 cells, But there was a slight decrease without regard to irradiation dose on HGF-1 cells. 4. There was no significantly different absorbance in extracellular LDH assay along the experimental cell lines.
