Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a major role in stimulating the synthesis and release of the principal osteoclast-activating cytokines , namely, interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor-α from immune cells, Although monocytes/macrophages are the main producers of these cytokines, recent evidence has indicated that polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) have the ability to release IL-1 and TNF-α. Calcium hydroxide has been shown to be an effective medicament in root canal infectionsm, reducing the microbial titre within the canal. It has been proposed that the therapeutic effect of Ca(OH)_2 may also be the result of direct inactivation of LPS. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether treatment of Porphyromanas endodonatalis LPS with calcium hydroxide alters its biological action as neasured by human PMN secretion of IL-1 and TNF-α, and it was compared with Escherichia coli LPS. P.endodonatalis ATCC 35406 was cultured in anaerobic condition, and LPS was extracted using the hot-phenol water extraction method and purified. Purchased E. coli LPS was also purified . 100 ㎍/ml of each LPS in pyrogen free water were incubated with 25mg/ml Ca(OH)_2 at 37℃ for 7 days. The supernatants were subjected to ultrafiltration. And the isolates were lyophilized and weighed. PMNs were obtained from peripheral blood by centrifugation layered over Lymphoprep. The cells were resuspended (4 × 10^6 cells/ml) in RPMI 1640 followed by treatment with various concentrations of LPS (0, 0.1, 1, 10㎍/ml) for 24 hours at 37℃ in 5% CO_2 incubator. The supernatants of cells were collected and the levels of IL-1α, IL-1β and TNF-α were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results were as follows; 1. The levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, TNF-α from PMN treated with each LPS were significantly higher than those released from unstimulated PMN of the control group (p<0.05). 2. The levels of all three cytokines released from PMN stimulated with each calcium hydroxide treated LPS were significantly lower than those released from PMN stimulated with each untreated LPS (p<0.05). while they were not significantly different from those released from unstimulated PMN of the control group (p>0.05). 3. The levels of secretion or all three cytokines were affected in a dose-dependent manner in PMN stimulated with each LPS (p<0.05), but not in PMN stimulated with each calcium hydroxide treated LPS (p>0.05). 4. The levels of all three cytokines released from PMN stimulated with P.endodontalis LPS were significantly lower than those released from PMN stimulated with E. coli LPS (p<0.05).

Background and Objectives : The immunomodulatory drug thalidomide can inhibit angiogenesis and induce apoptosis in experimental models. It can also induce marked and durable response in newly diagnosed myeloma patients. Thalidomide has been used at doses ranging from 200 to 800 mg with significant toxicity. No data are available on the impact of low-dose thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone as initial therapy for myeloma patients. Design and Methods : To address this issue, newly diagnosed myeloma patients were treated with 50 mg/day thalidomide continuously and cyclophosphamide 150 mg/m², days 1-4 and dexamethasone 20 mg/m², days 1-5 and day 15-19, every month. Between October 2005 and October 2006, 14 patients (median age 54.5 years) were treated with low-dose thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. Results : After a minimum of two cycles of treatment, 5 patients (55.5%) showed a partial remission. After four cycles of treatment, 10 patients (83.3%) showed a partial remission (n=6) and complete remission (n=4). After a median follow-up of 15.4 months, 1 year overall survival rate was 82.0%. Thalidomide was well tolerated without serious toxic effects. Conclusions : The combination of low-dose thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone demonstrates favorable response rate and 1 year overall survival rate in newly diagnosed myeloma. Severe toxicities were not seen with this combination.

김동민,김현리,박치영,윤성호,송현제,심수경 대한감염학회 2006 감염과 화학요법 Vol.38 No.4

배경 : Orientia tsutsugamushi에 의한 인체 감염은 혈액과 임파선을 타고 전신에 퍼져 혈관 염을 일으켜, 전신 장기의 침범 소견을 보인다. 그러나 아직 까지 전신장기 침범에 대한 임상 소견 및 검사 결과의 전향적인 추적 관찰에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 재료 및 방법 : 조선대학교병원에 내원한 환자 중 확진법(gold standard)인 간접형광항체법(IFA)으로. 확인된 76명의 환자를 대상으로 내원시 임상 양상 및 검사 결과의 평가 및 치료 후 검사 결과의 변화에 대한 전향적인 연구를 수행하였다. 결과 : 대부분의 환자에서 발열, 갈증, 전신 쇠약감, 두통을 호소하였으며, 특이 할만한 소견으로 현재까지 보고되지 않았지만, 대부분의 환자가 갈증을 심하게 호소한다는 것이다. 3명의 젊은 건강한 환자를 제외한 대부분의 환자에서 이러한 갈증 증상을 호소하였으며, 이러한 갈증은 발열이 호전되어도 지속되었으며, 퇴원 이후에 까지 지속되는 양상을 보였다. 혈액검사상 scrub typhus 초기에 나타날 수 있는 신기능 장애 및 간 기능 장애는 대부분 가역적으로 적절한 항생제 투여 후 모두 정상으로 회복됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 혈액 검사상 CRP, LDH, AST가 대부분의 환자에서 상승하였고, 특히 LDH의 상승이100% 환자에서 관찰된 것은 특이할 만 한데 적절한 치료후 CRP는 신속히 호전을 보이나, LDH는 서서히 호전됨을 확인하였다. DIC 검사상 DIC는 입원환자의 95.5%에서 확인되었으나, 비교적 일부의 환자에서 출혈 및 경색이 초래되는 것으로 생각된다. 결론 : Scrub typhus 초기에 나타 날수 있는 신기능 장애, 간기능 장애 및 DIC는 대부분 가역적으로 적절한 항생제 투여 후 모두 정상으로 회복되며, 이러한 관찰이scrub typhus 환자의 진단 및 임상 경과의 이해에 도움이 되리라 사료된다. Background : Orientia tsutsugamushi spreads to the entire body through the blood and lymphatics, and it induces vasculitis that results in the patients manifesting symptoms of systemic organ involvement. Materials and Methods : We conducted a prospective study to evaluate the clinical manifestations and the change of the laboratory results after instituting treatment for scrub typhus. Results : Most patients presented with fever (100%), malaise (96.1%) and thirst (96.1%). It was remarkable that most patients presented with severe thirst, except for 3 healthy, young patients. This thirst was persistent even after the resolution of fever. The renal and hepatic dysfunction were reversible after the administration of appropriate antibiotics. For the blood testing, it was deteded that the CRP, and LDH were elevated in most patients (95.9% and 100% respectively). DIC could be diagnosed in 95.5% of the patients at the time of admission Conclusion : Most patients presented with fever, malaise and severe thirst, and the renal and hepatic dysfunction were reversible after the administration of appropriate antibiotics. DIC was observed in most of our patients, but hemorrhage and infarction were not present. CRP showed a rapid improvement, nonetheless, the LDH and DIC test results improved slowly.

Park, Soo-Je,Kang, Cheol-Hee,Nam, Young-Do,Bae, Jin-Woo,Park, Yong-Ha,Quan, Zhe-Xue,Moon, Deok-Soo,Kim, Hyeon-Ju,Roh, Dong-Hyun,Rhee, Sung-Keun Society for General Microbiology 2006 International journal of systematic and evolutiona Vol.56 No.4

<P>A taxonomic study was carried out on two isolates, strains BL1(T) and BL11, from marine sediment collected from the East Sea, Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed that these isolates clearly affiliated with the Gammaproteobacteria. BL1T and BL11 were most closely related to Oceanisphaera litoralis KMM 3654T (97.6 and 97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains BL1T and BL11 was 99.7 %. The two isolates were Gram-negative, aerobic, moderately halophilic, and grew in 0.5-8.0 % NaCl and at 4-42 degrees C. Strains BL1T and BL11 shared some physiological and biochemical properties with O. litoralis KMM 3654T, although they differed in that BL1T and BL11 were able to utilize ethanol, proline and alanine. The G+C contents of the genomic DNA of strains BL1T and BL11 were 56.6 and 57.1 mol%, respectively. Both strains possessed C(16 : 1)omega7c and/or iso-C(15 : 0) 2-OH, C(16 : 0) and C(18 : 1)omega7c as the major fatty acids. DNA-DNA relatedness data indicated that strains BL1T and BL11 represent a genomic species that is separate from O. litoralis KMM 3654T. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, it is proposed that strain BL1T (=KCTC 12522T = DSM 17589T) represents the type strain of a novel species, Oceanisphaera donghaensis sp. nov.</P>

Luteimonas lutimaris sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat.

Park, Youn-Je,Park, Moon Su,Lee, Seung Hyeon,Park, Woojun,Lee, Kangseok,Jeon, Che Ok Society for General Microbiology 2011 International journal of systematic and evolutiona Vol.61 No.11

<P>A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated strain G3(T), was isolated from a tidal flat of the Taean coast in South Korea. Cells were moderately halotolerant and non-motile rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain G3(T) was observed between 15 and 40 C (optimum 30 C) and between pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH 6.5-7.5). Strain G3(T) contained Q-8 as the predominant lipoquinone and iso-C(15 : 0), iso-C(17 : 1)ω9c, iso-C(16 : 0) and iso-C(11 : 0) as the major fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 69.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain G3(T) formed a tight phylogenetic lineage with Luteimonas mephitis B1953/27.1(T) within the genus Luteimonas and was most closely related to L. mephitis B1953/27.1(T) with 98.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The DNA-DNA relatedness between strain G3(T) and L. mephitis B1953/27.1(T) was 35.2 3.3 %. On the basis of chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, strain G3(T) represents a novel species of the genus Luteimonas, for which the name Luteimonas lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G3(T) (= KACC 14929(T) = JCM 16916(T)).</P>
