Nine cattle among 18 in a native Korean herd died or were euthanized within 3 days. The affected cattle showed cowshed. The pigs and dogs had been fed leftover food originating from nearby restaurants, and the cattle could presumably reach the contaminated food in the pig troughs. Necropsy revealed a few chicken bones and red pepper pieces as well as large amounts of grain and rice straw hay mixed in the rumen. Botulism type D was isolated in the ruminal contents of one of the cattle. We speculated that the outbreak was associated with the cattle incidentally eating presumably contaminated leftover food from the pig trough.

There are several methods for the reconstruction of partial urethral defect, including split-thickness skin graft, full-thickness skin graft, and preputial flap and free flap. Despite partial success using these methods, most results are unsatisfactory due to frequent complications such as postoperative infection, fistula formation, hair growth and stricture. There have been several pioneering experiments in this field using autogenous vein graft and the results have been controversial. However, the fact that the endothelial lining is replaced by natural urethral epithlium is generally accepted as a positive effect of this method. This experiment was designed to identify the possibility of using vein graft for the reconstruction of partial urethral defect. Two different types of vein graft method were performed in a total of 20 New Zealand White rabbits with partial urethral defect. Firth, for the patch-graft group, a 1×1 cm rectangular vein graft was sutured at a defective area of the same size. Second, for the tubed-graft group, a vein graft segment 1 cm long was replaced at a segmental urethral defect of the same length. Histologic study was performed at three and eight weeks postoperatively in each group. The process of transitional ell epithelial replacement within the grafted vein was uniformly observed in both experimental groups at three weeks postoperatively. At eight weeks postoperatively, the epithelial replacement was almost complete and histologically undistinguishable. In the retrograde urethrogram performed after 8 weeks, the urinary flow in the patch-graft group was normal and showed no stricture, and two of five rabbits in the tubed-graft group showed partial stricture at the graft site. In conclusion, natural urethral epithelium was restored in grafted venous segments irrespective of the type of graft. Partial stricture was observed in 40% of the tubed-graft group while complete reconstruction was possible in the patch-graft group.

기종성 신우신염은 주로 당뇨병환자나 폐쇄성 요로질환을 가진 환자에 발생하며 특징적으로 신실질 및 그 주위조직에 가스를 형성하면서 심한 조직괴사를 일으키는 매우 드문 급성 화농성 신감염으로 사망률이 높은 질환이다. 이 질환은 1989년 Kelly와 MacCallum에 의해 처음 보고된 이래 외국문헌에 약 90례 정도가 보고되어 있으며 국내에는 28례가 보고되어 있다. 수액 및 전해질 보충, 인슐린 투여를 통한 적절한 혈당조절 및 항생제 투여등의 내과적 치료와 절개배농 및 신적출술등의 수술적 치료 방법이 있다. 내과적 치료로 가스의 감소가 없는 경우에는 즉각적인 수술적 치료를 시행하여야하므로 이 가스변화에 대한 추적관찰이 중요하다 하겠다. 본 저자들은 당뇨병환자에서 발생한 기종성 신우신염 1례를 내과적 요법을 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다. Emphysematous pyelonephritis is rare, life-threatening infection of the renal parenchyma and perirenal tisseue. This disease is characterized by the production of intrarenal and perirenal gas and is frequently encountered in patients with diabetes mellitus or urinary obstruction. We experienced a case of emphysematouse pyelonephritis in a 62 years old women with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus who had been managed with medical theraphy. So we report this case with a review of the referenced literatures.

한국헌,김진호,이종식,이정택,조재영,윤광식 한국환경농학회 2005 한국환경농학회지 Vol.24 No.1

한정된 수질자료를 이용 오염부하 산정시 집중적으로 많은 샘플을 채취한 경우에 비해 어느 정도 차이를 갖는지를 규명하는 것은 모니터링에 따른 오염부하량 산정결과의 신뢰 범위 파악뿐만 아니라 경제적인 수질 샘플 채수빈도 수립에 곡 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 논에서의 강우-유출시 채수 빈도가 오염부하 산정에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 9개의 강우사상에 대해 2시간 간격으로 연속 수질샘플을 실시하여 분석한 결과 전체적으로 강우-유출과정 중 T-N, T-P, SS 농도는 시간별로 증·감변동을 하였으나 유량과의 상관성은 나타나지 않았다. 수질샘플 횟수에 의한 영향은 강우-유출과정 중 5회 정도 샘플을 실시하면 많은 수의 샘플을 채수한 경우에 비해 T-N ±15.2%, T-P는 -20.0~26.2%, SS는 -28.6~35.7% 범위안에서 오염부하를 추정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 차이범위가 ±10% 내에 들어가기 위한 샘플수는 일주기 조사시 T-N, T-P의 경우는 6회, SS의 경우는 단기유출시는 4회 정도 실시하면 되고, 장기 유출시에는 11회 정도 실시하면 되는 것으로 조사되었다. 유량-유하부하량 관계식으로 ±10%내의 차이를 보일 샘플횟수는 T-N의 경우는 6회 이상, T-P와 SS는 9회 이상 정도 실시하면 되는 것으로 조사되었다. In order to examine effects of sampling frequency during rainfall-runoff process from paddy field on the estimation of pollution load, EMCs of several water sampling frequencies were examined. Water quality samples were conducted by every two hours interval for each event. It was found that difference of load estimation between five times sampling and two hours consecutive sampling during rainfall-runoff showed 15.2~-15.2% for T-N, 20.0~-26.2% for T-P, 28.6~-35.7% for the SS, respectively. In the same way, the effects of number of sampling data on estimation of pollution load using runoff-mass load(L-Q) method were investigated. L-Q equation made of five times sampling data provided 10% differences in estimation of mass loads of T-N, T-P, and SS when compared to those by L-Q equation using entire two hours consecutive sampling data during runoff process.

The purpose of this research was to investigate effect of water-soluble protein of Trichosanthes kirillowii(TKP) on the proliferation of human tumor cells. TKP inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells and KHOS-NP cells. The inhibitory activity of doxorubicin on HeLa cells and its of mitomycin C on KHOS-NP cells were increased by the combination of TKP. TKP did not affect on the proliferation of Balb/c 3T3 cells, but inhibited the proliferation of mouse spleen cells and human lymphocyte at 1 ㎍/ml. These results suggest that TKP bas the cytotoxicity on HeLa and KHOS-NP cells, and increase the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin or mitomycin C.

We performed a variety of lymphocyte stimulation tests, delayed hypersensitivity skin tests, and enumeration of several lymphocyte subpopulations in 21 patients with gastric cancer who did not receive any form of anticancer therapy, and in 20 healthy controls. The gastric cancer patients had significantly decreased number and total score of positive reactions in delayed hypersensitivity skin tests compared with the healthy controls. The percent of CD_(4) positive lymphocytes in the gastric cancer patients was significantly decreased compared to the normal control subjects, but it had no correlation with the total score of delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions. The ratio of helper to suppressor cells was lower in the cancer group. The uptake of 3H-thymidine was markedly depressed in cancer patients when stimulated with various mitogens. There was little correlation between any of the stimulation tests and any of the lymphocyte subpopulation proportions to delayed hypersensitivity cutaneous reactions. Optimal proliferative response was found in lymphocytes stimulated with 10 micrograms of concanavalin-A and 10 microgram of phytohemagglutinin. Advanced stage patients had greatly depressed delayed hypersensitivity skin reactions and proliferative responses to mitogens compared with localized diseases. These results suggest that gastric cancer patients have depressed cellular immune functions, which mainly result from the decreased helper cells and defects in functional proliferative response to mitogens. Interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma restored the in vitro proliferative response of lymphocyte in patients with gastric cancer.

고속핵에서 GABA가 동맥압에 미치는 영향

이정헌,오기화,안동국,박재식 慶北大學校 醫科大學 1996 慶北醫大誌 Vol.37 No.3

목적 : NTS (nucleus tractus solitarius)는 압감수성 반사 구심성 신경이 처음 시냅스를 형성하는 곳으로 동맥압 조절에 중요한 역할을 한다. NTS에서 어떤 특정 물질이 동맥압 조절에 관여하는지는 정확히 밝혀지지는 않았지만, NTS에 존재하는 많은 물질들이 이들 과정에 관여하고 있다. 그중 하나인 GABA성 약물이 NTS에서 순환계에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 본 실험을 시행하였으며 아울러 반대편 NTS를 lidocaine으로 억제하였을 경우의 변화를 관찰하여 NTS에서 신경회로 일단을 밝히고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 실험동물은 체중 300-500g 되는 숫컷 Wistar쥐를 사용하였다. 동맥압 측정과 약물 주입을 위하여 대퇴 동정맥에 삽관하였다. 이어서 기관지절개술을 시행하였으며 체온을 36-37℃ 되게 열판을 이용하여 조절하였다. 쥐를 뇌 정위 고정 장치에 두고 머리를 45°숙여 NTS를 노출시킨 다음 약물을 10초간에 걸쳐 80nl주입하였다. 결과 : 인공 뇌척수액을 주입하면 동맥압의 변화가 거의 없었으나 동량의 GABA를 NTS에 주입하면 동맥압이 증가하였다. GABA에 의해 동맥압이 증가된 상태에서 반대측 NTS에 lidocaine을 주입하여 한쪽 기능을 억제시키면 동맥압이 더욱 증가하였다. 또한 lidocaine주입 후 반대쪽의 건전한 NTS에 GABA를 재차 주입하면 동맥압 증가가 적었다. 그리고 GABA를 NTS에 주입 후 정맥으로 nitroprusside를 주입하면 GABA 주입이 없는 대조군에 비해 동맥압 감소가 더 컸으며, lidocaine으로 마취하여 한쪽 NTS의 기능을 차단한 후 반대쪽 건전한 NTS에 GABA를 주입한 경우는 동맥압 감소가 적었다. 동일한 방법으로 lidocaine을 주입한 후 phenylephrine으로 승압을 시키면 동맥압 증가가 적었다. 압감수성 반사는 NTS에 GABA를 주입하거나 또는 반대편 NTS를 lidocaine으로 마취하여 기능을 억제시킨 경우에 둔화되었다. 결론: NTS에서 GABA가 동맥압의 조절 인자로 작용하며, 양쪽 NTS는 상호작용하고 있는 것으로 보인다. The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), the site of termination within the brain of baroreceptor afferent fibers, has been shown to be involved in the regulation of arterial pressure (AP). Many neuroactive substances present within the NTS have been shown to be involved in this process, although the manner in which any specific neurotransmitter acts physiologically in the regulation of AP has not been completely elucidated. The present study was intended to clarify the mechanism of action of GABA in the NTS and also to examine the cardiovascular response to inhibition of the contralateral NTS by lidocaine. Male Wistar rats weighing 300-500 g were employed for the experiment. The femoral artery and vein were cannulated to record the arterial pressure (AP) and to inject nitroprusside or phenylephrine, respectively. The tracheotomy was performed and body temperature was kept to 36-37℃. Rats were mounted in a stereotaxic frame with the head flexed downward to an angle of 45°. After the NTS was exposed. GABA or lidocaine was microinjected into the NTS in a volume of 80 nl over 10 seconds through a glass micropipette (outer diameter of the tip 50 ㎛) connected to a 1 ㎕ Hamilton microsyringe. The results obtained are summarized as follows. Microinjection of artificial CSF into the ipsilateral NTS did not alter basal AP. In contrast, microinjection of the same volume of GABA into the NTS produced a significant increase in the AP. The results presented thus far indicated that the volume injected did not affect AP. In animals with elevated AP by GABA injection, injection-of lidocaine into the contralateral NTS resulted in a further increase in AP. After the contralateral NTS was inhibited with lidocaine. injection of GABA into the NTS produced a less increase in AP. After microinjection of GABA into the NTS, the nitroprusside administered i.v. accentuated the increase of AP but not after microinjection of lidocaine into the contralateral NTS. Similar results were obtained with i.v. injection of phenylephrine after pretreatment of lidocaine into the NTS. The baroreflex sensitivity was reduced by microinjection of GABA into the NTS or microinjection of lidocaine into the contralateral NTS. These results suggest that alterations in GABA-mediated neural transmission in the NTS contribute to the regulation of AP and the NTS of both sides have a mutual interaction.

In order to increase bioavailabilities of Scutellariae Radix extract(SRE), very slightly soluble in oil phases and sparingly soluble in water phases, the preparation of emulsification was attempted. In previously studies in O/W and W/O forms emulsion, the stabilities were evaluated for each forms. In this study, the dissolution and bioavailabilies of each emulsion preparation of SRE were compared. The dissolution pattern of SRE in W/O emulsion was decreased more than O/W emulsion in dilute hydrochloric acid solution(pH1.2) and in phosphate buffer solution(pH 6.8). The absorption velocity of baicalin from W/P emulsion was slower than O/W emulsion. The absorption velocity of baicalin in stomach was slower than in duodenum and jejunum of rats. The time required for the maximum serum concentration (C_max) of baicalin from water phase, oil phase, O/W and W/O emulsion in mice were 30. 60, 90, and 120 minutes after oral administration respectively. The C_max of baicalin from water phase, oil phase, O.W and W/O emulsion in mice were 2.11, 0.61, 1.57, and 1.35 ug/ml respectively. The longer was the time required for C_max, the lower was C_max. If the bioavailability to water phase is 100, the relative bioavailability(RB) to W/O emulsion is 129.14 The result suggests that the improvement of bioavailability for baicalin in W/O emulsion might be practically available.

The emulsion of Scutellariae Radix was prepared following homogenizing with emulsifier between water phases and oil phases. This emulsion is two type, one is oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and the other water-in-oil(W/O) emulsion. Scutellariae Radix extract(SRE) was very slightly soluble in oil phases and wparingly soluble in water phases. The lipid-water partition coefficients of SRE was high in chloroform, but was very low in other organic solvents. Emulsion was successfuly preparated under the various conditions and evaluated by microscopy. The partition coefficient of oil/water was also determinated. The viscosity of emulsion was increased more than water phase and oil phase, and the visicoty of W/O emulsion was hisher than O/W emulsion. The stability was higher in W/O emulsion than O/W emulsion.
