<▼1><P>Although the positive effects of recombinant fibroblast growth factor-2 (rFGF-2) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been implicated in previous studies, knowledge of its role in COPD remains limited. The mechanism of FGF2 in a COPD mouse model and the therapeutic potential of rFGF-2 were investigated in COPD. The mechanism and protective effects of rFGF-2 were evaluated in cigarette smoke-exposed or elastase-induced COPD animal models. Inflammation was assessed in alveolar cells and lung tissues from mice. FGF-2 was decreased in the lungs of cigarette smoke-exposed mice. Intranasal use of rFGF-2 significantly reduced macrophage-dominant inflammation and alveolar destruction in the lungs. In the elastase-induced emphysema model, rFGF-2 improved regeneration of the lungs. In humans, plasma FGF-2 was decreased significantly in COPD compared with normal subjects (10 subjects, <I>P</I> <I>=</I> 0.037). The safety and efficacy of inhaled rFGF-2 use was examined in COPD patients, along with changes in respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function. A 2-week treatment with inhaled rFGF-2 in COPD (<I>n</I> = 6) resulted in significantly improved respiratory symptoms compared with baseline levels (<I>P</I> <I><</I> 0.05); however, the results were not significant compared with the placebo. The pulmonary function test results of COPD improved numerically compared with those in the placebo, but the difference was not statistically significant. No serious adverse events occurred during treatment with inhaled rFGF-2. The loss of FGF-2 production is an important mechanism in the development of COPD. Inhaling rFGF-2 may be a new therapeutic option for patients with COPD because rFGF-2 decreases inflammation in lungs exposed to cigarette smoke.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Lung disease: Inhaling a protein might help</B></P><P>Studies on the role of the protein ‘fibroblast growth factor-2’ (FGF-2) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) suggest that inhaled FGF-2 could help treat the emphysema linked to smoking. Researchers in South Korea led by Young-Koo Jee at Dankook University, Cheonan, and Yeon-Mok Oh at the University of Ulsan, Seoul, studied the role of the reduced FGF-2 levels found in mice with lung inflammation caused by exposure to cigarette smoke. They also uncovered details of a protective effect of inhaled FGF-2, identifying specific cellular and lung structure changes attributed to the administered FGF-2. Reduced FGF-2 levels were also found in patients with COPD. Initial trials revealed some improvement in patients treated with FGF-2, but not at a statistically significant level. Nevertheless, the authors suggest their results justify further investigation of the protein’s therapeutic potential.</P></▼2>

Purpose: This study aims to test if the age of pregnant women affects the perception, experience, and attitude towards complementary alternative therapy (CAT), by investigating the perception, experience, and attitude of pregnant women under the age of 35, and above 35 (Advanced Maternal Age). The study will 1) find the general characteristics of pregnant women under and over the age of 35 2) compare the perception, behavior, and experience of pregnant women under and over the age of 35, and 3) find the comparison of the perception, behavior, and experience according to the general characteristics of pregnant women under and over the age of 35. Method: The subjects of this study are composed of 44 women under the age of 35 and 44 women above the age of 35, totaling 88 pregnant women visiting midwiferies, obstetrics and gynecology, and baby fairs in Seoul and Gyeong-Gi area. Data for this study was collected from November 28, 2015 to January 6, 2016 for 40 days. The collected data analyzed mean, standard deviation, t test, ANOVA, and chi-square by using SPSS 23.0. Result Results show that there is a significant difference in the perception, attitude, and experience of the two-sample groups in the use of CAT. The question of “what is most necessary when applying CAT in a hospital clinical environment” for the perception criteria came out with the results of t=9.980, p<.05. For the attitude, results showed that the answers of pregnant women under the age of 35 displayed a more positive attitude towards CAT. (t=2.421, p<.05) Lastly, in the experience section, pregnant women under the age of 35 showed more CAT use than the other sample group. Conclusion Results have shown that there is a difference in the perception, behavior, and experience between the two sample groups. Therefore further research on the efficacy and the adverse effects of CAT needs to be done.

This study was aimed to clarify the distribution of lymph follicles and germinal centers in the lymph nodes of the C_57BL/6 and nude strain mice. Male adult mice were used in this study. After animal were sacrificed, the right popliteal lymph nodes were removed and fixed in Zenker-formol solution for 3 hours and embedded in JB-4 resin. One of every two section, cut 3㎛ in thickness serially, was stained with May-Gru‥nwald and Giemsa solution. The results obtained from this study were as follows; 1. The number of lymph follicles per popliteal lymph node was average 11.25 C_57BL/6 mice but, the number of lymph follicles in nude mice was 20.25. In C_57BL/6 mice major distribution(8.5) of the lymph follicles situated in peripheral cortex overlying the unit(PCOU). In unde mice major distribution(14) is peripheral cortex beyond the unit(PCBU). 2. The thickness of most lymph follicles was between 0.01-0.19 mm in C_57BL/6 mice. But in nude mice the thickness of most of lymph follicles was between 0.20-0.39mm 3. The number of lymph follicies contained germinal center was 8.75 in nude mice. But C_57BL/ 6 mice was not observed germinal centers. 4. The average number of deep cortex is 1.5 and shape is semiovoid in C_57BL/6 mice. Spherical shaped deep cortex was observed and the number of that is one in nude mice. In stained section low density deep cortex was observed in nude mice specifically. 5. The size of lymph follicle in C_57BL/6 mice is 0.405mm and in nude mice 0.795mm

Arnold Scho¨nberg의 作品演奏를 爲한 提言 : 6 Kleine Klavierstucke, Op.19를 中心으로 Secgs kieine Klavierstucke, op.19(1911)

金芝延,李哲雨 대구산업정보대학 1998 논문집 Vol.12 No.2

This study was carried out by co-reaserchers(one is a performer, the other is a composer) who exchanged ideas with each other for the purpose of establishing an objective way of playing the twentieth century's major works of music. The study will play a crucial role in having the modern works perform more on local stages: actually there is a tendency to perform the classic works more often than to perform modern works. This is the reason why we preferred "suggestion" to "an analysis" as the title so that we could provide a clear purpose for this study. We chose Sechs kleine Klavierstucke, which characterizes the middle stage of Arnold Schonberg 's musical life, for the object of study because we thought of this work as musically simple and lucid which is greatly different from the musical traditions of the past and corresponds to the purpose of our study. More correctly speaking, we did not include such reasons as "Because this work is very imfortant in the history of modern music" or "Because this work is masterpiece in his music." We divided our study into three parts: philological investigation, analysis for performance and conclusion. Sechs kleine Klavierstucke might not be said to have a perfect sonata form but it can be regarded as a work intended for sonata form with metamorphoses. For in this work, as below, the contents of the third and fourth pieces are not very different from those of the first and second pieces in the aspect of music development. These aspects show that Schonberg was a composer who was interested in the traditional form of music in spite of living in the twentieth century. ◁그림삽입▷(원문을 참조하세요) Through this study we concluded that the works of the twentieth century could be performed on the basis of traditional forms. In other words, if we can find 'what is the same?' or 'what is different?' in the standards of traditional forms of music we can conceive of a method for the good performance of the twentieth century's works. In this respect, it seems to me that the last judge of music is 'the ear' of listeners. If we systematically study, we will have 'the ear' to understand 'the new'. Finally we hope that our study can give the fellow performers better opportunities to approach the twentieth century's works.

동아시아의 핵문제 : 북한과 일본의 사례분석 In the case of the North Korea and the Japan

김지연 현대일본학회 2003 日本硏究論叢 Vol.18 No.-

1990년대 초반 북한의 핵시설을 사찰한 국제원자력기구는 플루토늄 추출 사실을 확인했고 이 문제는 미북간 고위급 회담으로 논의되었다. 북한은 플루토늄의 보유여부를 애매하고 불확실하게 처리하여 국제제재를 피하면서 미국과의 협상의 주도권을 잡았고, 미국은 북한의 핵문제를 핵비확산원칙으로 해결하려 했으나, 북한이 과거 핵을 규명하지 못했다. 미북간 고위급 회담은 1994년 10월 제네바 미북핵합의로 일단락되는 양상을 띠었다. 이와 더불어 일본은 1990년대의 일본의 플루토늄 상용화로 상징되는 핵연료 리사이클을 추진했다. 1950년대 중반 에너지 안보적 필요에서 핵에너지 이용을 시작한 일본은 독자적인 재처리시설을 추진하여 1987년 미일원자력협상에서 30년간의 상대적으로 자유로운 재처리승인을 미국으로부터 얻어냈다. 일본은 재처리한 플루토늄을 에너지생산에 이용하는 핵연료 리사이클을 고속증식로와 프루서멀(플루토늄의 경수로 이용)을 통해 추진하고 있으나 1995년 고속증식로 몬주사고 이후 고속증식로의 개발이 불투명하고 프루서멀도 안전성의 문제가 제기되고 있다. 일본의 핵연료 리사이클은 전세계적인 핵에너지 이용경향과 상반되고 경제성과 안전성 모두가 검증되지 않았고 그에 따른 플루토늄의 증식이 예상된다. 북한의 핵개발 과정에서 나타난 플루토늄 보유와 일본의 핵연료 리사이클 과정에서 나타난 플루토늄의 증식은 동북아의 안보에 위협이 되고 안보딜레마 논리와 같이 주변국가의 적극적 대응을 유발할 수 있다. This paper aims at the analysis of the reality of the nuclear proliferation in the East Asia, especially in the case of the North Korea and Japan. In 1990 North Korea's nuclear development has emerged as serious security problem for the South Korea and the threat of peace of East Asia. Pyongyang's attempt to develop nuclear weapons was sufficient to rock the NPT system and become a major source of tension between North Korea and international community. Intending to use nuclear energy for both peaceful as well as military uses, North Korea began to develope the research in the nuclear energy. In 1994, by the Geneva accord North Korea promised to accommodation the IAEA safeguards, to freeze construction of graphite moderated reactors and to freeze operation of a controversial 5 MW reactor. In Fact, many Japanese leaders did want to keep a nuclear weapons options open and promoted a plutonium-based autonomous nuclear fuel recycle not only economic reasons, especially energy security but also because it can be readily converted to a military nuclear program. The continuance of the American nuclear umbrella over Japan will not, in itself, assure a non-nuclear Japan unless it is accompanied by meaningful U. S. and Russian leading to a global process of nuclear disarmament.

악성종양에서 혈청 Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1의 혈청

조덕연,김현수,박상준,김종숙,최지영,윤환중,김삼용 충남대학교 의과대학 지역사회의학연구소 1995 충남의대잡지 Vol.22 No.1

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a glycoprotein serving as ligands for leukocyte intergrin receptors, i.e. LFA-1, MAC-l. It has been suggested that the expression of ICAM-1 and the levels of circulating ICAM-1 were increased in several malignancies. We measured serum ICAM-1 by ELISA in patients with stomach cancer (n=25), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n=7), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n=14), and metastasis of unknown origin (n=5). Serum levels of circulating ICAM-1 in all malignancies were significantly higer than in normal controls. And serum level of ICAM-1 in stomach cancer ptients having metastatic disease was higher than in patients with localized disease (p=0.027). These results suggest that elevated serum ICAM-1 is a rather common feature for malignancies, not unique for certain types of cancer such as malignant melanoma. It remains to be clalified whether marked increase of serum ICAM-1 in metastatic stomach cancers simply reflect tumor burden or this molecule plays a role in progression in stomach cancer.

고지연,강항원,이재생,김춘송,Sakadevan,K.,Bavor, H. J. 한국환경농학회 2003 한국환경농학회지 Vol.22 No.4

호주 시드니 인근 도·농 복합 소도시로부터 발생하는 비점오염원을 처리하기 위하여 설치된 Plumpton park와 Woodcroft park 인공습지의 처리효율을 살펴본 결과, 수생식물의 밀도가 증가하고 식생이 안정된 Plumpton park 인공습지에서 T-P의 26.2%, T-N의 38.3%, 식생분포가 안정적이지 않은 Woodcroft park에서 14.0%와 20.2%가 각각 제거됨으로서 식물체 근권 미생물에 의한 T-P 및 T-N의 제거 효율이 상당히 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한 T-N와 T-P에 비하여 NH₄-N, NO₃-N, PO₄^(-3)의 제거율이 높았던 것은 무기태 형태의 영양염류가 식물 및 미생물에 더 쉽게 이용되었기 때문으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 인공습지에서 식물체와 근권 주위 미생물에 의한 염류제거는 인공습지가 설치한지 오래되었을 때도 효과적이었고, 또한 인공습지는 무기태 영양염류의 제거효율이 더욱 높았으므로 무기화학비료 등의 용탈이 일어나기 쉬운 농경지 비점오염원으로부터 발생하는 수질오염의 개선에 이용할 수 있는 경제적이고도 효율적인 system으로 고려되었다. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of 2 constructed wetlands with different vegetation states (Plumpton park wetland and Woodcroft park wetland) for reducing non-point source pollution from small watershed consisted of residential and agricultural area in suburban district of Sydney, Australia. The total nitrogen and phosphate removal efficiency of Plumpton park constructed wetland, composed of stable and dense vegetation, were 38.3% and 26.2% and Woodcroft park constructed wetland having still poor vegetation due to the short time to settle down transplanted plants after construction, showed relatively low removal efficiency of 20.2% and 14.0%. The removal efficiency of inorganic nutrients such as NH₄-N, NO₃-N, PO₄^(-3) were higher than total nitrogen and phosphate because plants and microorganisms in rhizosphere of constructed wetlands took up inorganic nutrients shortly. According to the type of wetland inflow, the nutrients removal efficiency of storm water flow was lower than base flow.

치수/치근단 질환에 이환된 영구치의 치수 조직 재생과 치근 형성

유연지,백승호,손호현 大韓齒科保存學會 2010 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.35 No.4

최근 치수 질환 또는 치근단 질환을 가진 미성숙 영구치에 대한 보존적 치료의 방법으로 여러가지 근관 내 소독 약제를 이용하에 증상 개선은 물론 치근의 성장 및 치수의 재생이 이루어진 증례들이 보고되고 있다. 그 기전에 대해서는 아직 명확하게 밝혀지지는 않았지만 여러가지 줄기 세포 또는 미분화 간엽 세포들이 관여하는 것으로 생각되며, 실제로 재생된 조직에서는 대부분백악질양또는골양물질의 침착이 관찰되고 있다. 이 새롭고보존적인 치료접근 방법은 다능성 줄기 세포와 다양한조직 공학 기술에 대한 연구와 더불어, 재생적 근관 치료에 더 밝은 비전을 제시하고 있다. Numerous cases about additional growth of roots or pulp tissue regeneration by using various intracanal medicaments in immature permanent teeth with periapical or pulpal disease have been reported. The underlying mechanism has not been clearly delineated. but it has been widely accepted that undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and stem cells are involved. Moreover, the growth and deposition of osteoid or cementoid tissues have been observed in regenerated pulp and roots. This new and non-invasive treatment has brightened the future of endodontics. and enlarged the vision of regenerative root canal treatment with multi-potent stem cells and various tissue engineering techniques.

보릿짚의 수분함량 및 수확시기가 소각시 대기오염물질 발생에 미치는 영향

고지연,강항원,이재생,김춘송,박성태,김복진 한국환경농학회 2004 한국환경농학회지 Vol.23 No.2

영남지방 벼-보리 이모작답에서 가장 널리 시행되고 있는 보릿짚 처리방법인 소각이 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 소각시 발생하는 온난화가스, 대기오염가스 및 분진발생량을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 보릿짚 소각시 온난화가스 발생량은 CO₂376.8, CH₄ 1.56, N₂O 0.05 kg/10a 로서 CO₂의 발생량이 가장 많았으며, 대기 오염가스 중에는 유기물의 불완전 연소시 배출되는 CO발생량이 28.8 kg/10a로서 가장 많았다. 그 외 SO₂ H₂S, NH₃, NO등의 질소 및 황 함유 유해가스도 소량 발생되었고 발생된 PM 10 분진의 대부분은 인체에 미치는 영향이 PM 10보다 큰 PM 2.5로 이루어져 있었다. 또한 수확시기가 빠르거나 수분함량이 높은 보릿짚일수록 온난화가스 및 대기오염 가스의 발생량이 증가하고 소각 연기내 PM 10 분진중 PM 2.5의 미세분진 비중이 높았다. 수확적기로 알려진 출수 40일 이후의 보릿짚은 출수 후 40일된 보릿짚 소각시 발생하는 대기오염가스 발생량과 큰 차이가 없었다. This study was carried out to determine impacts of burning of barley straw produced from rice-barley double cropping paddy field on air quality by investigating emissions of greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O), air pollution gases (CO, SO₂, H₂S, NH₃ and NO) and particulate matters (PM 10 and PM 2.5). When the barley straw at a rate of 4.5 t/ha was burned at open status, the emitted GHGs amounts were CO₂ 376.8 kg/10a, CH₄ 1.56 and N₂O 0.06. The amount of CO emission was the largest among air pollution gases. These results showed that the range of 45~55% of total C in barley straw was emitted as CO₂-C, followed by CO-C (6.4~5.9%) and CH₄-C (0.5~0.7%). As far as moisture content in barley straw is concerned, the higher moisture content that the barley straw contains, the larger amount of air pollution gases and the higher portion of PM 2.5 in PM 10 were emitted when it burned. In case of harvesting time of barley straw, emission amounts of greenhouse, air pollution gases and PM 2.5 portion in PM 10 had tendency to increase when earlier harvested barley straw was burned.
