The relationship between systemic bone loss(osteopenia) and loss of oral bone has been of considerable recent interest. In dentistry, some investigators have studied using human subjects, but no firm conclusion due to many obstacles have yet been obtained. From these obstacles in the assessment of human subjects, the significance of investigations with overiectomized rats has been proposed recently. Also, in ovariectomized rats, quantitative data on changes in the alveolar bone of mandible and basal bone of mandible using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) were far fewer. The purposes of this study were to certify systemic estrogen deficiency-induced osteopenia by biochemical markers(serum osteocalcin(OC) & urinary deoxypyridinoline(DPD)) and bone mimeral density(BMD) of femur by DEXA and examine changes in BMD of the rat mandible by DEXA with 24-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats. Forty eight rats were used in this study and twenty four rats were ovariectomized bilaterally(OVX) to induce systemic osteopenia and remainders were subjected to sham surgery(Sham). The experimental rats were killed at different time interval(1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th and 16th week) for histologic examination, biochemistry analysis and BMD measurement. The results obtained from this study were as follows: On histological examination, in mandible, early degeneration of periodontal ligament, early bone resorption in alveolar bone and late bone resorption in basal bone were observed. On biochemical analysis, OC and DPD were observed statistically no significancy to predict systemic osteopenia. On DEXA measurement, in OVX group, we observed statistically significant decrease from 3rd week in distal metaphysis, statistically non-significant decrease from 2nd week in alveolar bone of mandible, and statistically significant decrease at 16th week in total mandible. From these results, it could be stated that systemic osteopenia by ovariectomy was early affected in the trabecular bone of femur and alveolar bone of the mandible whereas the total mandible was affected later.

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate if the measurement of range of motion(ROM) could be applied in the diagnosis of Myofascial Pain Syndrome(MPS) and to determine the severity by analyzing ROM in MPS patients. Methods: The study subjects were 476 female telephone number information service workers. Southampton Protocol and Pittsburgh Protocol were used to diagnose MPS and to measure ROM. ROMs were measured by 2 inclinometers exercising each shoulder passively and actively in 5 directions ; abduction, forward flexion, extension, external rotation, and internal rotation. Results: Compared to the normal group (n=147), the mean of right side ROM in the subjects (n=270) with same side MPS was 2.1˚ (SD=11.5) lesser in active extension and 1.7˚ (SD=10.4) lesser in passive extension. Compared to the mild group (n=210), the mean of right side ROM in the patients with same side severe MPS (N=58) was lesser in all directions. Especially in active forward flexion, passive forward flexion, active extension, passive extension and active external rotation, ROM in the subjects with severe MPS was lesser by 6.5˚ (SD=13.1), 5.1˚ (SD=12.8), 5.9˚ (SD=11.8), 5.0˚ (SD=10.6) and 3.9˚ (SD=9.8), respectively, than those of the subjects with mild MPS. Compared to the subjects with left side mild MPS(n=172), ROM in the subjects with left side severe MPS (n=59) was 5.3˚ (SD=13.3) lesser in active forward flexion. Conclusions: In this study, ROMs in the subjects with severe MPS tended to be lesser than those in mild patients. This tendency was more prominent in the right side than the left, active range of motion than passive and forward flexion and extension than others. The results of this study are expected to help diagnose shoulder MPS and determine severity.

김수인,연규월,하은희,우행원,김영철 大韓神經精神醫學會 2001 신경정신의학 Vol.40 No.3

연구목적 : 최근 산업재해(이하 산재) 및 교통사고 발생이 증가하면서 사고 후유증으로 치료받는 환자들이 늘어나고 있다. 산재를 포함한 각종 사고들은 환자의 신체적 상태를 변화시킬 뿐 아니라 이로 인한 사회적, 직업적, 경제적 문제들을 초래하게 되고 환자의 삶 전체를 변화시킬수 있다. 본 연구에서는 산재가 환자들에게 미치는 정신적 영향을 알아보기 위해 산재 환자들과 대조군에서 삶의 질, 자살사고 및 우울증상을 비교하였다. 방 법 : 연구대상은 1999년 12월 21일부터 12월 30일 사이에 경상남도 울산 마산·창원지역의 입원한 산재환자 169명이었고 정상 대조군은 울산의 공업단지 내 일반근로자 166명이었다. 평가군과 대조군 모두 남성이었고, 19세에서 60세였다. 모든 대상에서 일반 인구학적 특성, 삶의 질, 자살사고, 우울 증상을 평가하였고, 산재 환자군의 경우 사고일시, 사고원인, 치료기간, 손상부위를 추가로 조사하였다. 주관적 삶의 질은 한국판 스미스클라인 비챰 삶의 질척도로 평가하였고, 자살사고는 Beck의 자살사고(思考)척도로 평가하였으며, 우울증상은 PRIME-MD를 개선한 Patient Problem Questionaire의 우울증 척도로 평가하였다. 결 과 : 산재환자군과 대조군간 일반 인구학적 요인에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이 없었다. 산재환자군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 낮은 삶의 질 척도 점수를 나타냈고, 유의하게 높은 자살사고와 우울증상을 나타냈다(p<.05). 산재환자군에서 연령, 결혼상태, 치료기간과 삶의 질 점수는 관련이 있었다. 30대 이상의 연령에서 유의하게 낮았고 10∼20대 연령에서 유의하게 높았으며, 미혼이거나 이혼, 별거중인 경우 유의하게 삶의 질 점수가 낮았고, 치료기간이 길수록 낮았다. 치료기간과 자살사고가 관련있었으며, 치료기간이 길수록 자살사고가 많았다. 산재환자군에서 손상부위에 따라 삶의 질 점수, 자살사고 점수와 우울증상이 유의한 관련이 있었다. 삶의 질 점수는 요추부 손상군에서 높았고, 경추부 손상군과 다발성 좌상환자군에서 낮았다(p<0.01). 자살사고 점수는 경추부손상군과 다발성 좌상 환자군에서 높았고, 요추부 손상군에서 낮았다(p<0.01). 연구 대상군에서 삶의 질 점수, 자살사고 점수, 우울증상간 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 결 론 : 본 연구 결과 산재환자들은 일반 근로자들과 비교하였을 때 삶의 질이 낮다고 느끼고 있었으며, 주관적으로 우울감과 자살사고를 많이 나타냈다. 따라서 산재로 인한 우울 및 자살등의 증상을 예방하기 위해서는 조기 정신과적 치료 중재가 반드시 필요하다고 생각된다. Objective : As the occupational and traffic accidents are increased, patients who are treated for complications of accidents have been increased in recent years. Accidents including industrial injury affect the physical state of the patients and make social, vocational, and economic problems, so that they can affect the whole life of the patients. We performed this study to compare subjective evaluation of quality of life, depressive symptoms, and suicide ideation in both industrial injury patients and control subjects in order to know how industrial injury affect patients in psychiatric aspect. Method : The subjects were 169 inpatients who met the inclusion criteria of industrial injury patients and 166 healthy control subjects. All subjects were male and their age is from 19 to 60 years old. Demographic variables, quality of life, depressive symptom, suicide ideation were assessed in subjects. The types of injury and duration of treatment were assessed in patients. The quality of life was measured using the Korean version of SmithKline Beecham 'Quality of Life' Scale(KvSBQOL), and the suicide ideation was measured using the Scale for Suicide Ideation(SSI), and the depressive symptom was measured using the Dpression scale of Patient Problem Questionaire(PPQ) which were devised from Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorder(PRIME-MD). Results : 1) There were no significant differences in the general demographic variables between industrial injury patients and control subjects. 2)Scores of KvSBQOL were significantly lower, and SSI and Depression scale of PPQ were significantly higher in the industrial injury patients than control subjects(p<0.05). 3) In industrial injury patients, there was a correlation between the age and the scores of KvSBQOL(p<0.01). The scores of KvSQOL were lowest in older than 30's, highest in 10's-20's. No significant correlation was recognized between the age and the suicide ideation, the depressive symptoms. Threre was a correlation between the marital status and the scores of KvSBQOL(p<0.01). In unmarried, divorced or separated state, the scores of KvSBQOL were significantly lower than married state. There was a correlation between the the duration of treatment and the scores of KvSBQOL, the suicide ideation. As the duration of treatment was longer, the scores of KvSBQOL were significantly lower(p<0.01), and the scores of SSI were significantly higher(p<0.01). 4) In industrial injury patients, there was a significant correlation between the type of injury nd the scores of KvSBQOL, the suicide ideation, and the depressive symptoms. The scores of KvSBQOL were highest in the L-spine injury patients, lowest in the C-spine injury and multiple contusion patients(p<0.01). The scores of SSI were higher in the C-spine injury and multiple contusion patients, lowest in the L-spine injury patients(p<0.01). 5) In subjects, there was significant correlation between the scores of KvSBQOL, the scores of SSI, and the Depression scale of PPQ. Conclusion : Industrial injury patients feel bad about the quality of life and have more depression and suicide ideation. As a results, psychiatric intervention is needed for prevention of depression and suicide due to industrial injury.

In-direct localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based nanosensors for highly sensitive and rapid detection of cortisol

Jeon, Jinwoo,Uthaman, Saji,Lee, Jiyoung,Hwang, Hyejin,Kim, Gibum,Yoo, Pil J.,Hammock, Bruce D.,Kim, Christine S.,Park, Yeon-Su,Park, In-Kyu Elsevier 2018 Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical Vol.266 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Over-secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex is closely related to acute and chronic stress; thus, rapid and sensitive detection of cortisol in serum is of critical importance for preventing the progression of stress-related diseases. The binding of a biological molecule to the surface of metallic nanoparticles changes the local refractive index and in turn induces a shift in the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength. Utilizing this phenomenon, we designed a novel disposable LSPR-based cuvette-type sensor for detecting cortisol in serum. The developed cuvette-type nanosensor consists primarily of an assembly of plastic unit sensors coated with gold nanoparticles on a single layer wherein cortisol-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA) is immobilized. In this system, a redshift in LSPR wavelength is induced by the binding of cortisol antibody onto cortisol-conjugated BSA immobilized on a gold nanoparticle surface in the nanosensor. In a competitive assay, the nanosensor could rapidly detect cortisol in both a PBS solution and serum (within 20 min) at concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 ng/mL (2.759–3 × 10<SUP>3</SUP> nmol/L), which is comparable to conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which typically requires longer than 4 h and complex sample preparation. Thus, we demonstrated that the LSPR-based nanosensor system developed in this study can provide a useful toolkit for a rapid, highly sensitive and reliable detection of cortisol hormone in a commercially available manner.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Novel disposable LSPR-based cuvette-type sensor for detecting cortisol in serum. </LI> <LI> Rapid, convenient, and sensitive method for detecting cortisol hormone in serum. </LI> <LI> Detect cortisol in both PBS solution and serum within 20 min at concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 ng/mL. </LI> </UL> </P>

Suppression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-coactivator-1alpha normalizes the glucolipotoxicity-induced decreased BETA2/NeuroD gene transcription and improved glucose tolerance in diabetic rats.

Kim, Ji-Won,You, Young-Hye,Ham, Dong-Sik,Cho, Jae-Hyoung,Ko, Seung-Hyun,Song, Ki-Ho,Son, Ho-Young,Suh-Kim, Haeyoung,Lee, In-Kyu,Yoon, Kun-Ho Association for the Study of Internal Secretions 2009 Endocrinology Vol.150 No.9

<P>Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is significantly elevated in the islets of animal models of diabetes. However, the molecular mechanism has not been clarified. We investigated whether the suppression of PGC-1alpha expression protects against beta-cell dysfunction in vivo and determined the mechanism of action of PGC-1alpha in beta-cells. The studies were performed in glucolipotixicity-induced primary rat islets and INS-1 cells. In vitro and in vivo approaches using adenoviruses were used to evaluate the role of PGC-1alpha in glucolipotoxicity-associated beta-cell dysfunction. The expression of PGC-1alpha in cultured beta-cells increased gradually with glucolipotoxicity. The overexpression of PGC-1alpha also suppressed the expression of the insulin and beta-cell E-box transcription factor (BETA2/NeuroD) genes, which was reversed by PGC-1alpha small interfering RNA (siRNA). BETA2/NeuroD, p300-enhanced BETA2/NeuroD, and insulin transcriptional activities were significantly suppressed by Ad-PGC-1alpha but were rescued by Ad-siPGC-1alpha. PGC-1alpha binding at the glucocorticoid receptor site on the BETA2/NeuroD promoter increased in the presence of PGC-1alpha. Ad-siPGC-1alpha injection through the celiac arteries of 90% pancreatectomized diabetic rats improved their glucose tolerance and maintained their fasting insulin levels. The suppression of PGC-1alpha expression protects the glucolipotoxicity-induced beta-cell dysfunction in vivo and in vitro. A better understanding of the functions of molecules such as PGC-1alpha, which play key roles in intracellular fuel regulation, could herald a new era of the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by providing protection from glucolipotoxicity, which is an important cause of the development and progression of the disease.</P>

세균독소로 자극시킨 사람 섬유아 세포에서의 Interleukin-6와 Interleukin-8의 생성

정인교,양동규,홍시영,이성근,김욱규,김광혁,김종렬 大韓顎顔面成形再建外科學會 1999 Maxillofacial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery Vol.21 No.4

Cytokines are hormone-like proteins which mediate and regulate inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in the final differentiation of B cells into antibody-producing cells. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a neutrophil chemotactic factor that plays an important role in the recruitment of neutrophil to inflammatory loci. Inflammatory mediators by cells in the gingiva have been implicated in the initiation and progression of periodontitis and oral infection. The purpose of this study was conducted to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) on production ofIL-6 and IL-8 by human gingival and facial dermal fibroblasts. Primary cultured human gingival and facial dermal fibroblasts were incubated with LPS(0.01, 0.1, 1.0㎍/ml), SEB (0.01, 0.1, 1.0㎍/ml) or LPS (0.1㎍/ml) plus SEB (0.1㎍/ml). Culture supernatants were collected at 24, 48, and 72 hrs and assessed for IL-6 and IL-8 production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IL-6 production in gingival fibroblasts stimulated with LPS was higher than that with SEB. IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-6 production in facial demal fibroblasts was increased only by stimulation with a high concertration of LPS (1.0㎍/ml). Its production in facial dermal fibroblasts by exposure with SEB was decreased in comparison with control, nontreated cells. Therefore, gingival fibroblasts showed higher sensitivity than facial dermal fibroblasts in response to low concentration of LPS. Also, IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB.IL-6 production in facial dermal fibroblasts was increased only by stimulation with a high concentration of LPS(1.0㎍/ml). Its production in facial dermal fibroblasts by exposure with SEB was decreased in comparison with control, nontreated cells. Therefore, gingival fibroblasts showed higher sensitvity than facial dermal fibroblasts in response to low concentration of LPS. Also, IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-8 production in gingival fibroblasts was enhanced greatly only by stimulation of high concentration of LPS (1.0㎍/ml). That by exposure with SEB was increased only in 24 hrs cultivation. IL-8 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-8 production in facial dermal fibroblasts was decreased by LPS and increased only in 48 hrs cultivation by SEB. IL-8 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was enhanced only in 48 hrs cultivation in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. therefore, IL-6 and IL-8 production were released at various quantities according to bacterial toxin applied and site of fibroblast harvested. These results suggest that gingival fibroblasts may be concerned with IL-6 and IL-8 related inflammatory response more than facial dermal fibroblasts.

Trend of Intensive Care Unit Admission in Neurology- Neurosurgery Adult Patients in South Korea : A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

Saeyeon Kim,Tak Kyu Oh,In-Ae Song,Young-Tae Jeon 대한신경외과학회 2024 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.67 No.1

Objective : We aimed to examine trends in critically ill neurology-neurosurgery (NNS) patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in South Korea and identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality after ICU admission in NNS patients. Methods : This nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study enrolled adult NNS adult patients admitted to the ICU from 2010 to 2019 extracted from the National Health Insurance Service in South Korea. The critically ill NNS patients were defined as those whose main admission departments were neurology or neurosurgery at ICU admission. The number of ICU admission, age, and total cost for hospitalization from 2010 to 2019 in critically ill NNS patients were examined as trend information. Moreover, multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality among critically ill NNS patients. Results : We included 845474 ICU admission cases for 679376 critically ill NNS patients in South Korea between January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019. The total number of ICU admissions among NNS patients was 79522 in 2010, which increased to 91502 in 2019. The mean age rose from 62.8 years (standard deviation [SD], 15.6) in 2010 to 66.6 years (SD, 15.2) in 2019, and the average total cost for hospitalization per each patient consistently increased from 6206.1 USD (SD, 5218.5) in 2010 to 10745.4 USD (SD, 10917.4) in 2019. In-hospital mortality occurred in 75455 patients (8.9%). Risk factors strongly associated with increased in-hospital mortality were the usage of mechanical ventilator (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 19.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 19.42–20.26; p<0.001), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (aOR, 3.49; 95% CI, 2.42–5.02; p<0.001), and continuous renal replacement therapy (aOR, 6.47; 95% CI, 6.02–6.96; p<0.001). In addition, direct admission to ICU from the emergency room (aOR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.36–1.41; p<0.001) and brain cancer as the main diagnosis (aOR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.22–1.39; p<0.001) are also potential risk factors for increased in-hospital mortality. Conclusion : In South Korea, the number of ICU admissions increased among critically ill NNS patients from 2010 to 2019. The average age and total costs for hospitalization also increased. Some potential risk factors are found to increase in-hospital mortality among critically ill NNS patients.
