Coronoid impingement can cause limitation of mouth opening. In many cases, it appears to be related to the coronoid hyperplasia. We present a case of mouth opening limitation caused by coronoid impingement on the posterior surface of the zygomatic bone without coronoid hyperplasia. The bony changes in coronoid and zygoma including surface irregularity and discontinuity of the cortex and sclerotic change of inner medullary space were noted on computed tomography (CT) scans in different level of axial planes. Through another CT scans in open mouth position could demonstrate that those bony changes were caused by the contact of both surfaces against each other. In case coronoid impingement is suspected of the many possible causes, the open mouth CT scans will be needed to reveal the direct impingement of coronoid on zygoma even without coronoid hyperplasia.

박지영,김종수,김승오 大韓小兒齒科學會 2008 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.35 No.3

본 연구는 새로 개발된 레진 강화형 글래스 아이오노머인 Ketac™ N 100과 Fuji Fil LC의 개선된 접을 보기 위해 불소 유리량과 압축 강도를 Fuii II LC와 비교 평가해 보았다. 불소 유리량 측정을 위해 각 재료 별로 시편을 15개씩 제작하여 탈이온수에 보관하였고,31일 동안 pH/ISE meter(750P,Istek Korea)를 이용하여 불소 유리량을 측정하였다. 압축 강도 측정을 위해 각 재료별로 15개씩 시편을 제작하여 만능 경성 시험기(Kyung-sung Testing Machine Co.,Korea)를 이용하여 시편이 파절된 시점의 최대 강도를 측정하였다. 연구 결과 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 전반적인 불소 유리량은 Fuji Fil LC,Fuji II LC, Ketac™ N 100 순으로 높았다(p<O.O5). 2. 압축 강도는 Fuii II LC와 Ketac™ N 100은 유의한 차이가 없었고(p>0.05),Fuji Fil LC는 두 재료보다 낮은 압축 강도 값을 보였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 Ketac™ N 100은 대조군인 Fuji II LC와 비교 시 불소 유리량은 적었으나 압축 강도는 유사했고 Fuji Fil LC는 불소 유리량은 높았고 압축 강도는 낮았다. 이런 재료의 특성에 맞게 임상 적용을 하는 것이 중요할 것 이다. This study was performed to compare the fluoride release pattern and compressive strength of recently developed resin-modified glass ionomers(Ketac™ N 100 and Fuji Fil LC) with those of conventional glass ionomer restorative material (Fuji II LC). Fifteen sample discs(6 mm diameter and 1mm height) were prepared for each tested material. The fluoride release was measured by pH/ISE meter(750P, Istek, Korea) for 31 days. For compressive strength experiment, fifteen cylindrical specimens were prepared for each tested material. Each specimen was submitted to compressive strength testing in an universal testing machine(Kyung-sung Testing Machine Co., Korea) at crosshead speed of 5.0mm/min until failure. The results can be summarized as follows; 1. Fuji Fil LC released the highest amount of fluoride, followed by Fuji II LC and Ketac™ N 100(p<0.05). 2. The compressive strength of Fuji Fil LC was the 1owest(p<0.05). However, no significant difference was found from Fuji II LC and Ketac™ N 100(p>0.05). By considering the above results, careful case selection and accurate clinical application is recommended when using Ketac™N 100 and Fuji Fil LC.

We retrospectively analyzed clinical and laboratory features of 58 patients with SLE for the survival and the factors which may have influenced the outcome from 1970 through 1983. The survival was calculated using the method of Merill and Shulman, taking the time of diagnosis and the onset of symptom as the starting point. We divided 58 patients with SLE into 2 groups, those whose survival was less than or equal to 2 years and those greater than 2 years, and compared clinical and laboratory features between them with particular emphasis on those factors which may have influenced the outcome. The results obtained as follows: 1) The estimated survival from diagnosis was 76.7% in 1 year, 62.3% in 2 years, 62.3% in 3 years, 59.6% in 4 years, 53.8% in 5 years and 50.6% in 10 years. The estimated survival from the onset of symptom was 65.5%, in 1 years, 59.54% in 2 years, 56.2% in 3 years, 52.2% in 4 years, 52.5% in 5 years, and 46.l% in 10 years. 2) There was a statisticaly significant difference in prognosis between 2 groups with regard to CNS involvement, serositis, and increased serum creatinine level(≥3.0mg/dl).

Graves 병과 혈청 면역글로불린-E의 연관성

김현영,박기룡,김성훈,김지연,송수근,최영식,박요한 대한내분비학회 2002 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.17 No.5

연구배경: Graves 병은 미만성 갑상선종, 갑상선기능한진, 안구침법 등을 특징으로 하는 자가면역성 질환으로, 갑상선자극호르몬 수용체에 대한 자가항체(TRAb)가 갑상선을 자극하여 발생된다. TRAb는 Graves병 환자의 약 85%이상에서 검출되며 활성화된 TRAb는 대부분 IgE로 알려져 있다. 그러나 최근 Graves병 환자의 갑상선조직과 안구조직에 IgE의 침착과 꽃가루 등에 의한 알레르기성 비염으로 인해 Graves병이 발생하거나 재발된 견우가 보고되어 Graves병의 병인에 IgE의 연관성이 제기 되고 있으나, 국내에서는 이에 대한 연구가 드물다. 본 연구에서는 Graves병에서의 혈청 IgE농도와 Graves병의 병기와의 관계 및 TRAb와 IgE 농도와의 연관성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2000년 4월 1일부터 7월 1일까지 고신의료원 내분비내과를 방문한 환자 중 Graves병 46예, 만성갑상선염 6예 및 고신의료원 건강증진센터를 방문한 환자 중 갑상선질환의 병력이나 가족력 및 알레르기성 비염의 병력이 없는 35예의 정상대조군을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. TRAb는 갑상선자극호르몬 결합 억제 면역글로불린(TBII)으로 측정하였으며, IgE는 효소면역분석법으로 측정하였다. 결과: IgG인 TBII는 Graves병에서 만성갑상선염과 대조군에 비해 높았으며, IgE 평균농도는 Graves병에서 598.1±1112.9U/mL로 만성갑상선염 환자의 98350±79.7U/mL, 대조군 161.72±194.4U/mL에 비해 높았다(p<0.05). Graves병에서 알레르기성 비염의 발병율은 10.9%(5/46)였으며, Graves 병에서의 혈청 IgE 농도는 알레르기성 비염의 병력이 있는 경우 903.1±1152.2U/mL로 없는 경우 560.8±1117.0U/mL보다 높은 경향을 보였다. Graves병의 병기에 따른 TBII와 IgE 농도의 변화를 항갑상선제로 치료하지 않은 군(비치료군)과 치료한 군(치료군) 및 재발군으로 나누어 비교하였을 때, TBII는 치료군(7.4±18.6%)에 비해 비치료군(49.9±23.9%)과 재발군(21.1±3.1%)에서 높았으며(p<0.05), 혈청 IgE치도 치료군(233.8±432.7U/mL)에 비해 비치료군(758.6±1250.0U/mL)과 재발군(1198.5±1952.1U/mL)에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 항갑상선제로 치료한 치료기간에 따른 TBII와 IgE 농도 변화에서, TBII는 비치료군(49.9±23.9%)과 1년 미만 치료군(24.8±3.8%)에서 1년 이상 치료군(2.22±1.97%)에 비해 높았으며(p<0.05), 혈청 IgE 농도는 비치료군(758.6±1250.2U/mL)에서 1년 미만 치료한 군(158.3±91.5U/mL)과 1년 이상 치료군(252.7±483.4U/mL)에 비해 높았으나 유의하지는 않았다. 결론: Graves 병에서 IgE 농도는 증가되어 있었으며, Graves 병의 각각 다른 병기에서의 혈청 IgE 농도의 변화는 Graves qudd의 경과에 영향을 미치는 IgG인 TBII치의 변화와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 혈청 IgE와 Graves 병과의 연관성을 알아보기 위해서 IgE와 더불어 CD23항원 등의 다른 검사도 병행하는 전향적 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Background: It is widely believed that Graves' disease is and autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of the circulation TSH receptor antibody (TRAb). The majority of the activity of TRAb is of the immunoglobulin G(IgG) class. However, other immunoglobulin such as immunoglobulin E(IgE), may play a rloe in the activity. IgE accumulation has been reported to occur in the thyroid gland and ocular muscles of subjects with Graves' disease. Furthermore, it has been noted that recurrence of Graves' disease can be induced by and allergy to pollen. Because an allergy to pollen is commonly associated with IgE, IgE might play a role in the induction of Graves' disease. Therefore, investigated whether IgE was elevated in Graves' disease, and evaluated the potential relationship between the levels of TRAb and IgE Graves' disease. Methods: Forty-six patients with Graves' disease, and 6 with chronic thyroiditis, diagnosed at the Kosin Medical Center between April, 2000 and July, 2000 were included in this study. Thirty-five persons without thyroid disease or a history of allergic rhinitis were used as normal controls. The level or TRAb was measured using thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII). Serum total IgE was measured using as enzymeimmunoassay method. Test for thyroid function, TBII and total IgE were performed in all cases, and the results statistically analyzed. Results: TBII, as IgG, and the serum IgE level were higher in the patients with Graves' disease, and the levels of the latter were 598.1±1112.9U/mL, 98.5±79.7U/mL and controls 161.7±194.4U/mL in the Graves' patients, those with thyroiditis and the controls, respectively (p<0.05). The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in Graves' disease was 10.9%. The serum IgE level in Graves' disease with, and without, allergic rhinitis were 903.1±1152.2U/mL and 560.8±1117.0U/mL, respectively, although there was no significancant difference between the two groups. According to the clinical stage, the serum TBII level was higher in the untreated Graves', and relapsed patients 49.9±23.9% and 21.1±3.1%, respectively, than in the treated group, 7.4±18.6% (p<0.05). The serum IgE level was higher in the untreated Graves' and relapsed patients 758.6±1250.2U/mL and 1198.5±1952.1U/mL, respectively, than in the treated group 233.8±432.7U/mL, although this was not significant. According to the duration of treatment, the serum TBII levels were higher in the untreated Graves' patients, and those treated for less than 1 year, than in those treated for more than 1 year, with values of 49.9±23.9, 24.8±3.8 and 2.22±1.97%, respectively (p<.05). The serum IgE level was higher in the untreated Graves' disease (758.6±1250.2U/mL) than in the groups treated for less than 12 months (158.3±91.5U/mL) and more than 12 months (252.7±483.4U/mL), but the differences were not significant. Conclusions: The concentration of IgE was high in Graves' patients, and although not statistically significant, the serum igE level in Graves' patients with allergic rhinitis was higher than those without. With regard to the clinical stage of Grave's disease, the change in the IgE level tended to follow that of the TBII. Further study will be required to define the possible role of IgE in the pathogenesis in Graves' disease (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 17:640∼648, 2002).

Alterations in DNA methylation patterns in regenerated Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) plants derived from tissue culture

Hyun‑Min Lee,Jee‑Soo Park1,Yun‑Hee Shin,박영두 한국원예학회 2021 Horticulture, Environment, and Biotechnology Vol.62 No.4

Plant tissue culture is an essential tool in biotechnology. However, tissue-cultured plants often exhibit variations that are either genetic or epigenetic in origin, termed somaclonal variations. Among these variations, DNA methylation is an important heritable epigenetic modification that plays a role in a wide variety of biological processes, including gene expression. In this study, we performed bisulfite sequencing of regenerated Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) lines to identify DNA alterations induced by tissue culture. Sequencing data from each regenerated line were compared with reference genome sequences, and common differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were detected in the regenerants. To determine changes in expression levels of DMR-containing genes, we performed quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of the target genes and PCR amplification with bisulfite-converted DNA. We identified DMRs between a non-regenerant line and regenerant lines and selected 10 DMR-associated genes that presented annotation information in Arabidopsis or Brassica rapa. Their expression levels were verified by qRT-PCR to determine the relation between methylation state and gene expression. We observed that genes positioned in DMRs significantly correlated with differential gene expression. We also observed similar methylation patterns in the selected DMRs by PCR-based methylation analysis. The results of this study are a valuable resource for the epigenetic analysis of regenerated lines, especially for Chinese cabbage.

강혜련,김신우,배기범,박지현,강영모,이종명,김능수 대한감염학회 2001 감염 Vol.33 No.3

PFAPA (Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and cervical Adenitis) syndrome has characteristic features of an early onset, periodicity (interval <4 weeks), and a brisk rising high fever (>39℃) of 3 to 6 days' duration without signs of infection. An 18-year-old male was admitted for high fever, sore throat, headache, and abdominal pain. He had suffered from periodic fevers associated with pharyngitis and cervical adenitis for 14 years without any evidence of infection. The fever recurred approximately every 4 weeks lasting 4 to 7 days with intervening asymptomatic periods. Physical examination was unremarkable except for slightly injected tonsils. Most laboratory tests including CBC were normal except for elevation of Creactive protein level (3.47 mg/dL). Bacteriologic and radiologic studies were negative. The fever was spontaneously subsided in 6 days. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of PFAPA syndrome in Korea. (Korean J Infect Dis 33:219∼222, 2001)
