Dysplasia-associated seizure disorders are markedly resistant to pharmacological intervention. Relatively little research has been conducted studying the effects of antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) on seizure activity in a rat model of dysplasia. We have used rats exposed to methylazoxymethanol acetate(MAM) in utero, an animal model featuring nodular heterotopia, to investigate the effects of AEDs in the dysplastic brain. Pilocarpine was used to induce acute seizure in MAM-exposed and age-matched vehicle-injucted control animals. Field potential recordings were used to monitor amplitude and numbers population spikes, and paired pulse inhibition in response to stimulation of commissural pathway. Two commonly used AEDs were tested: diazepam 5, 2.5mg/kg;phenytoin 40, 60mg/kg. Diazepam(DZP) and phenytoin(PHT) reduced the amplitude of population spike in control and MAM-exposed rats. However, the amplitude of population spike was nearly eliminated in control rats as compared to the MAM-exposed rats. Pharmaco-resistance was tested by measuring seizure latencies in awake rats after pilocarpine administration(320mg/kg, i.p.) with and without pretreatment with AEDs. Pre-treatment with PHT 60 mg prolonged seizure latency in control rats, but not in MAM-exposed animals. The main findings of this study are that acute seizures initiated in MAM-exposed rats are relatively resistant to standard AEDs assessed in vivo. These data suggest that animal model with cortical dysplasia can be used to screen the effects of potential AEDs.

Ocllratoxin A는 fenicl'flrium과 rtsr☞rgiffus 속 등의 곰팡of가 생성하는 mycotoxin으로서 세포매기성 및 체액성 면역기능에 슨상을 일으키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 OTA가 면역계에 미치는 영향과 OTA의 면역 독성 억제 효과가 있는 물질을 검색하기 위하며 6~7 주령의 Balb/c mice 비장세핀에 T 및 B 세포의 mitogen인 Con A와 LPS로 처리하고 3일간 배양한 후 비장세포의 분화정도를 MTS를 처리하여 관찰하였으며, OTA를 투여한 마우스의 면역장기 형리조직학적 견화를 관찰하였다. 마우스의 비장세포 (2xtD6cel1/rnf)에 OTA(1~6μg/ml)를 상에서 혼합하여 Con A와 LPS로 자극시킨 결과 임파구는 Sfg/mf이상에서 거의 모든 세포가 분화되지 않았다. mice에 OTA (1,5 및 10mg/11g)를 2일 간격으로 6회 복갚 주사한 후 비장세포를 분리하여 Con A와 LPS로 처리한 결과 Smg 투여군에서는 6회 투여 혼에 분화가 억제되었고, 10mg 투여군에서는 3회 및 6회 투여군에서 분화가 억제되었단. Ochratoxin A의 면역독성 억제 효과가 있는 물질을 검색하기 위하여 in vitro 실험에서 마우스의 비장세포 (2×10" cell/mf)에 OTA (3fg/mf)와 L-phenylalanine, indole-3-carbinol, L-ascorbic acid,piroxicaTn, curcumin 및 arethylsalicylic acid를 혼합하고 동일 처리한 결과 L-ascorbic acid, L-phenylala-nine 및 Indole-3-carbinol은 OTA의 면역독성 발현을 운의성 있게 억제하였다. Balt/c mice에 OTA (10mg/kg)와 l'n pifro실험에서 억제효파가 확인된 L-ascorbic acfd, L-phenylalanine 및 indole-3-carbinol을 2일 간격으로 동시에 3회 복강주사하여 관찰한 결과 indote-3-carbine께서 엮제효과를 관찰할수 있었다. Ochratoxin A를 투여할 마우스의 비장 및 홍선에서는 임파구의 빈도가 줄었으며 특히 비장제서는 starry-sky 세포가 증가됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결자로 OTA는 비장세포의 T 및 B 임파구의 분열능을 억제시 키며, 면역장기의 임파구에 손상 야기시키므로서 면역기능을 저하시키고 OTA에 의한 면역독성은 indole-3-carbinol이 경감시킴을 관찰하엿다. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a Tnyeotoxin produced by several fungal species iBcluded the genera fs4pergiffug and f☞HiciHiHuL and known as one of the major environmental contaminants. Tn thepresent study, the effects of OTA on the imraune system and the prevention of the OTA-inducedimmunosuppression by protective agents were studied in Balb/c rnicf:. Splenocytes were isolated and theproliferative responses to concanavalin A (Con A) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were measured in thepreseEce of 1 to 6fg/mf OTA. Sfg/mf OTA completely btocked both Con A and LPS-stimulatedmitogenic responses, causing approximately 50% inhibition at 3fe/mf OTA. This suppression of mitogen-induced proliferative resplonses observed id uifro was reproduced in mice treated with ☞rA in rioafntraperitoneal administration of 5, IDmg/kg OTA 3 to etimes every other day significantly decreasedboth Con A- aud LPS-inttuced mitegenic responses. The effects of possible protective agents on theOTA-induced suppression c)』 mitogenic responses were examined both in uifro and in viua Amoag 6 pos-sible protective agents (1,-phenylalanine, L-ascorbic acid, indole-3- carbinol, curcumin, firoxicam,acethylsaricylic acid) employed in the present study, L-phenylalanine (100ff), L-ascorbic acid (100#M) and iBdote-3-carbinel t 10Df) showed significantly protective effects on the OTA-iBduced suppres-sion of mitogenic responses id uifro. Howeuer, when the protective of·fects of these agents were examinedin rr'ua only indole-3-carbinol showed significantly protective respoases. It has been ebserved that Iyin-phatic cell population in thc spleen and thymus was decreased in raice given OTA by hematoBylin-eosinstaining. These data indicate that OTA suppresses the cell-mediated and humoral immune functioBsand this OTA-iBduced supflression of immune functions can he alleviated by indole-3-carbinol.

A recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) was administered intravenously at dosage levels of 0, 100, 500, and 2500 IU/㎏/day for a period of 13 weeks. There were no observed clinical signs and deaths related to treatment in all groups tested. Decreases in body weight gain and food consumption were observed only in males of 2,500 IU/㎏ group after 2 weeks. In hematological parameters, erythrocyte content, hematocrit values and hemoglobin concentration were dose-dependently increased in rHuEPO treated groups. The ratio between kidney weight and whole body weight was significantly increased in females of 500 and 2,500 IU/㎏ groups. The spleen weight was also increased in both sexes of 500 and 2,500 IU/㎏ groups. However, the absolute weight change of other organs was not observed. In histopathological examinations, the renal tubular basophilia was observed only in males and females of 2,500 IU/㎏ groups. From these results, it is concluded that the no-observed adverse effect level(NOAEL) of rHuEPO is 100 IU/㎏ in rats in the present study.

J. J. KIM, M. H. LEE, Y. J. KIM, W. S. CHAE, Y. S. HAN, O. KWON. Comparison of the maximum EMG levels recorded in maximum effort isometric contractions at five different knee flexion angles. Korean Journal of Sport Biomechanics, Vol. 15, No. 1, pp. 197-206, 2005. The purpose of this study was to quantify the maximum EMG levels and determine if there are differences in these EMG levels with respect to different knee flexion angles. Eight university students with no known musculoskeletal disorders were recruited as the participants. The maximum voluntary isometric knee extensions and flexions were taken from each participant sat on the isokinetic exercise machine (Cybex 340) at five different knee flexion angles (10?30?50?70? 90?. After surface electrodes were attached to rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus laterlis, biceps femoris, and semitendinosus, maximum EMG levels at five different knee flexion angles were measured. The results showed that there was no significant difference in maximum EMG levels among five different knee flexion angles. Although there was no significant difference in EMG levels and were some variations among different knee flexion angles, the EMG signals of quadriceps in extension and biceps femoris in flexion were the greatest at 30? It seems that different joint angles or relative locations of body segments might affect the magnitude of EMG levels. Because the maximum EMG levels could change with a different knee flexion angle, an attempt should be made to more accurately measure these values. If then, %MVIC measure provides more reliable data and is most appropriate for EMG normalization.

Periosteal osteosarcoma is a distinct entity of malignant bone tumor with characteristic clinical, morphological, and histological features within the group of juxtacortical osteosarcoma. Periosteal osteosarcoma is predominantly located in the tubular long bones, and extremely rarely involving the jaws. A case of periosteal osteosarcoma of the right mandible is presented. A 27-year-old woman complained of the gingival swelling and bleeding tendency of the right posterior mandible. Clinical examination revealed a reddish brown strawberry-like swelling on the affected mucosa, which measured 1.5㎝×1.5㎝. The tumor was located on the lingual cortex of the mandible and extended into the surrounding soft tissues. Microscopically, the tumor consisted exclusively of atypical chondroblastic cells with a small osteoblastic area. A minimal bone marrow involvement was noted and the adjacent cortex was free of tumor. These findings suggested that the tumor originated from the periosteal cambium layer, which lies between the periosteal fibrous layer and the cortex of mandible.

One fifth dilution of formocresol is usually for pulpotomy of the primary teeth and emergency pulpotomy of the permanent teeth. However, the use of formaldehyde has been subjected to criticism because it may be absorbed into the blood stream and become distributed systemically, it may also alter the pulp tissue rendering it immumologically active, and have carcinogenic potential. Recently Depulpin®(VoCo., Germany) gains popularity as a devitalizing agent during root canal therapy in spite of high concentration of 49% paraformaldehyde because it facilitate devitalization of pulp and make root canal therapy easier. But there have been not enough publications about the reaction of pulp and periapical tissue caused by Depulpin. This study was performed to evaluate the histological changes in pulp and periapical tissue of rats after pulpotomy using formocresol and Depulpin and to elucidate the toxic effects of these agents. Thirty six Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of ketamine. Maxillary first molar teeth were used for pulpotomy with formocresol and Depulpin. Rats were sacrificed after 2 days, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks respectively. Specimens were histologically observed by light microscope changes in pulp and periapical tissue. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Formocresol group A zone of fixed tissue, in which odontoblasts could clearly be defined, was present directly underneath the pulpotomy dressing in almost all teeth of this group. This was followed by an area of necrotic tissue which resembled dried out fibrous tissue with no cellular detail except some pyknotic nuclei. In the specimens of after 2 days, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks in which vital tissue was present. it was separated from the fibrous area by a zone of inflammation. In the specimens of after 3 weeks and after 4 weeks, inflammatory infiltrate was in the periodontal ligament adjacent to the apical foramina of the teeth. 2. Depulpin® group The area of necrotic tissue which had no cells and fibers , was present adjacent to the dressing. This was followed by dried out fibrous tissue with no cellular details except some pyknotic nucleli. A short stump of vital pulp with odontoblasts was present at the end of the canal after 2 days. Inflammatory infiltrate was in the periodontal ligament after 4 days and after 1week. Severe root resorption and necrosis of periapical tissue opposite the root resorption site were defined after 2 weeks and after 3 weeks. Periapical lesion which consist of necrotic tissue surrounded by a fibrous connective wall. was found after 4 weeks. The results indicated that Depulpin can cause more adverse reaction to the dental pulp and periapical tissue than formocresol, and further studies are needed for its clinical use with safety.

The incidence of double primary cancer is about 10% in all kinds of cancers. Double primary cancer is usually accompanied by gastrointestinal cancer. Esophageal cancer is supposed to be frequently accompanied by squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck or the upper respiratory tract, because of such common carcinogens as smoking and alcohol ingestion. Esophageal cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer are usually diagnosed by esophagogastric endoscopy with biopsy. We performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided Trucut biopsy(EUS-TCB) to diagnose a mediastinal mass in a 49 year-old patient, who visited our hospital because of voice change. During procedure, we accidently found enlarged celiac lymph node, and obtained tissue from the mediastinal lymph node and the celiac lymph node. We confirmed double primary cancer of squamous cell carcinoma in the esophagus and the hypopharynx via esophagogastric endoscopy.
