The present study was aimed to isolate the bacteria producing chitinolytic enzymes including chitin deacetylase (CDA) from soil origin. About 24 bacteria were screened for their chitinolytic enzymes producing ability on the basis of colloidal chitin. Amongst one of the most potent isolates designated to JI-02 was further selected as the most prominent chitinolytic and CDAlike enzyme (CDA-X) producer based on the ability of deacetylation of an artificial substrate pNP-acetamilide. The maximum production of CDA-X in crude enzyme from JI-02 was observed in the presence of 1% colloidal chitin at 37°C and pH 6.4 after 120 h of incubation. Potent enzyme activity of CDA-X was determined toward pNP-acetamilide, demonstrating that optimal pH, temperature and ionic strength of the CDA-X were assessed to be 7.0, 52°C and 125 mM, respectively. Unexpectedly, Nacetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) was not fully converted by the action of CDA-X to glucosamine (GlcN) under the established conditions. Further study on enzyme activity toward chitin-oligosaccharides consisting of multi-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)n, n=2-5 may be necessary to elucidate the mode of action which requires the minimum size of (GlcNAc)n. However, our data suggest that CDA-X can convert chitin to chitosan with the maximum yield of approximately 0.08g/L during the fermentation of the strain in the presence of chitin. Furthermore, we found that crude enzyme showed the significant chitosanolytic activity. Taken together, our data suggest that the strain JI-02 may be a potential candidate as a particular strain for better understating of chitin catabolic pathway.

Erectile dysfunction(ED) is defined as the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection which is sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Risk factors for ED include many of the same risk factors for cardiovascular disease: hypertension; lipid abnormalities, including low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; diabetes; and smoking. Therefore, some patients with ED will have ischemic heart disease. Viagra□, an oral therapy for ED, is the citrate salt of sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cOMP)-specific phosphodiesterase 5(PDE5). The adverse effects of sildenafil include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, visual disturbance, and cardiovascular complications. A general impression exists that cardiovascular complications of sildenafil occur mainly when the drug is taken concomitantly with nitrate. We report the case of a 52-year-old man who developed an acute myocardial infarction shortly after taking one tablet of sildenafil without sexual activity. The patient had not been using nitrates. Physicians treating patients with chest pain should be aware of the potential consequences of giving nitrates to patients taking sildenafil. We suggest that before initiating therapy, the history of sildenafil ingestion be obtained from patients with suspected myocardial infarction.

Nephrolithiasis is one of the most common disease seen in the Emergency Department. Among the patients who visited in the Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain, many people were suspected urolithiasis. Because of limitation of diagnostic method on Emergency Department we planned this study in order to confirm the our accuracy of diagnosis and the possibility of misdiagnosis. During 5 months from April 1996 to August 1996, the 189 patients was suspected the urolithiasis. Among this patient, 51 cases was excluded due to incomplete study. After performing P/Ex, U/A, KUB in the Emergency Department, they were followed out patients department of Urology and perfomed Intravenous Pyelogram. The sensitivity and specificity for KUB were 84.5% and 94.0%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 93.8%, the nagative predictive value was 93.8%. Diagnostic accuracy of urolithiasis in our Emergency Department is 89.1%. There was no relationship between urinary occult blood and KUB or IVP. There was no relationship between degree of occult blood and diagnosis of urolithiasis. For differential diagnosis of urolithisis, emergency ultrasound and IVP will be available. So combination of this diagnostic methods will improve accuracy and safty of diagnosis and treatment of urolithiasis.

Objectives : In this study, the authors evaluated the correlation between eurocognitive impairments and serum lipids levels among Korean elderly over the age of 65. Methods : A total of 609 elderly individuals participated in this study. Screening for cognitive impairments were carried out using the Mini-Mental Status Examination-Korean version (MMSE-KC). There were 197 subjects above 1.5SD Of MMSE- KC and they were evaluated using the Korean versions of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) (CERAD-KC) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-K). Results : There was a correlation between old age/low levels of education and AD (p<0.05, P<0.01). There was an inverse correlation between the serum level of total cholesterol and the word list recognition test scores. The serum levels of LDL cholesterol were inversely correlated with the scores on the constructional praxis test, word list recall test and word list recognition test. Inverse correlations between the serum level of triglyceride and scores on the word list recall test and word list recognition test were also observed. Conclusion : There were inverse correlations between the serum levels of lipids and language/memory function in subjects with AD.

소배양법으로 배양한 생쥐췌장 베타세포의 형태학적 검정

유광성,전현우,박주홍,윤지원,고광삼 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 1986 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.11 No.1

생쥐췌장 베타세포를 보다 순수하게 배양하기 위해 변형 고안한 소배양법을 검정하였다. 이 소배양법에 있어서는 96well plate에 islet cell을 이식하고 decantation한 다음 thimerosal에 노출시켜 많은 viable cell을 얻을 수 있었고, 생후 7일째의 생쥐의 췌장베타세포의 생존율이 가장 높았다. 또 이 소배양법으로 배양한 생쥐췌장 베타세포들은 위상차현미경, FITC-labelled anti-insulin antibody 염색 및 전자현미경으로 검정한 결과 형태학적으로 정상이었다. 기계적 선택방법으로서 생쥐췌장 베타세포의 decantation 최적시간은 세포를 이식한 후 12∼15시간 이었으며, 화학적 선택방법으로 0.6∼0.8㎍/㎖의 thimerosal에 노출시켜 fibroblastoid cell로 부터 생쥐췌장 베타세포의 분리를 증가시킬 수 있었으며, 두가지 방법을 동시에 응용하여 더 좋은 효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또 이 소배양법에 있어서 cell duplication은 배양후 36시간후에 2배, 72시간후에 3배가 되었으며, 평균 generation시간은 46.8±7.0시간 이었다. 이들 결과로 미루어 보아 이소배양법은 생쥐췌장 베타세포 배양의 유용한 방법으로서, 췌장 베타세포에 연관된 각종 연구에 이용할 수 있을것으로 사료된다.

Chlorpromazine으로 유발된 음경지속발기증 1례

신유호,윤도준,이충현,송지영,이상철 大韓神經精神醫學會 1996 신경정신의학 Vol.35 No.3

저자들은 항정신병약물 chlorpromazine 치료 중에 음경지속발기증이 발생하여 수술까지 시행하여 회복된 환자 1례를 체험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하였다. 항우울제 trazodone과 함께 chlorpromazine, thioridazine과 같은 항정신병약물이 음경지속발기증의 원인과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 약물에 의해 유발되는 음경지속발기증의 기전에 대해서는 알파-아드레날린 차단으로 인한다는 설이 많은 지지를 받고 있다. 치료는 보존적인 치료와 외과적인 치료가 있으며, 외과적인 치료로는 음경해면체 천자와 흡입 세척술 그리고 분로를 만들어 주는 방법들이 있다. 음경지속발기증은 신속한 진단과 치료를 하지 않을 경우 영구적인 발기불능을 초래할 수도 있는 부작용이므로 향정신약물 투여시 이에 대한 관심과 주의를 가져야 할 것이다. Antipsychotic drugs can induce several sexual side effects. Priapism, one of the side effects, is defined as "the persistent abnormal erection of the penis, which usually occurs without sexual desire". There has been an increasing number of reports recently linking the etiology of priapism with psychotropic medication. The drugs known to be associated with priapism are psychotropic drugs such as trazodone, chlorpromazine, thioridazine as well as antihypertensives, anticoagulants and so on. The mechanism of a drug which induces priapism is proposed to be mediated by its alpha-adrenergic blocking effect. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential. Priapism is a severe side effect, which can lead to impotence if prompt diagnosis and treatment are not carried out. There are medical and surgical treatments for priapism. The surgical treatments usually involve aspiration, irrigation and the creation of shunt. We report a case of priapism which developed after two years of chlorpromazine treatment. He is a 20-year-old man with schizophrenia. He experienced two times of brief episode of prolonged penile erection before developing intractable priapism. He was treated by shunt operation which showed satisfactory relief of priapism. It seemed by this case that duration and dosage of chlorpromazine were not closely related with priapism. Psychiatrist is needed to give attention to the priapism as one of sexual side effects due to antipsychotics though it is not common.

흡지벽, 수직적 인 골격 발육부전 등 여러 원인을 갖는 개방교합은 치아와 치조돌기 에 국한되어 있는 단순 개방교합, 수직골격 발육부전에 의한 골격성 개방교합인 복잡 개방교합으로 나눌 수 있다 단순 개방교합은 흡지벽, 농설벽 등 국소적 원인에 의하며 치조돌기의 수직적 발육결여와 상하악 전치의 맹출 장애 등의 특징을 보인다 농설벽은 혀가 상하악 전치 사이에 위치하고 혀의 주변부위가 구치부 교합면 사이에 놓이지 못하게 됨으로써 구치부 과맹출에 의한 전치부의 개방교합과 상악전치의 전돌을 가속화하게 된다. 악습관에 의한 개방교합을 가진 어린이에서는 습관을 없애주는 것이 개방교합을 치료하는 가장 좋은 방법일 것이다. 그리고 Hawley type 장치에 crib을 첨가하거나 oral screen을 장착시켜 농설벽을 치료할 수 있다. 그리고 근기능요법은 동기유발과 혀의 기능을 조절하고 입술운동을 통해 새로운 연하운동을 발전시키도록 훈련하여 부정교합을 교정하거나 개방교합의재 발을 방지 한다. 본 증례는 농설벽에 의한 개방교합을 가진 8세 여자 환자에서 탄성고무, 발대를 이용한 연하연습과 발음연습을 포함한 근기능요법과 습관제거장치를 이용해 습관의 중지 및 개방교합의 개선을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. A problem that affects children's dentitions is the harmful habit which is difficult to treat. Harmful habits for children are such as abnormal swallowing patterns, low/forward tongue rest posture problem, habitual open-lips resting posture, habitual mouth-breathing, excessive digital sucking habit and tongue thrusting. Tongue thrusting habits cause a bit of cranio-facial skeletal changes and a great deal of dental malocclusion such as anterior open bite. Anterior open bite causes masticatory, speech, and esthetic problems in the growing children and difficulties in diagnosis, treatment, and the prediction of its prognosis. The treatments of such abnormal behaviors involve orofacial myofunctional therapy and using of habit breaking appliance. The prognosis is not determined by the presence of severity of oral habit but the skeletal tendency of the patient. Usage of tongue crib resulted in not only the discontinuance of the habit but also improvement in overbite and over jet. This study showed that relatively successful results could be generated by using removable tongue crib and myofunctional therapy in the case of open bite related to tongue thrusting habit.
