Backgrounds 3,4-Dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) is a transformation product of herbicides that is commonly used as a reference in developmental toxicity studies (OECD TG 236) (Bonnet et al. in Environ Toxicol 22:78–91, 2007). However, the mechanisms underlying 3,4-DCA-induced hepatotoxicity are not well known. Methods We exposed zebrafish larvae at 72 hpf to 3,4-DCA for 3 days and observed lipid accumulation in liver treated with 10-μM 3,4-DCA using oil red O staining. Subsequently, we performed qRT-PCR analysis to determine the genes involved in the observed lipid accumulation. Results We found that genes related to lipogenesis (srebp1, pparγ, lipin1, and scd1) and ER stress (bip, atf4, ddit3, dnajc3, and edem1) were significantly upregulated. In addition, we found that ROS generation increased in the larvae treated with 10-μM 3,4-DCA. Moreover, glutathione-S-transferase activity in these larvae was increased by 3,4-DCA in a dose-dependent manner, and the expression of the inflammation marker il-1β increased. Conclusion Our results indicated that exposure to 3,4-DCA induced fatty liver in zebrafish larvae and that this, in association with additional factors such as ER stress response, can promote liver damage. We accordingly suggest that 3,4-DCA could be used to induce fatty liver in zebrafish larvae.

It is important to interpret the soil chemical properties in order to effectively manage the farmland. This study was conducted to investigate the soil chemical properties of upland soybean field according to the soil series at 32 upland fields located in the parts of Gangwon-do. Soil sampling sites were selected by using the National Statistics DB and KSIS DB that is a soil environment information system provided by the Rural Development Administration. Soil samples were collected from 0~15 cm of top soil before seeding or transplanting, air-dried, passed through a 2 mm sieve, and analyzed for soil pH, EC, organic matter, available phosphorus (P2O5), exchangeable potassium, exchangeable calcium and exchangeable magnesium. The average chemical properties have exceeded the each nutrient optimum range level of RDA, except the organic matter in experimental soil 2015. And despite application of conventional fertilization, each soil series nutrient contents were change respectively. The results of this study suggest that conventional fertilization should be applied based on the analysis about the amount of accumulated nutrient contents in the soil.

바람 명칭 ‘새’에 대한 재고찰

김지숙(Kim, Ji-suk) 한국어문학회 2016 語文學 Vol.0 No.132

This paper discusses the meaning of “sae” as it differs in regions on the East Coast and the West Coast of Korea. In the east, “saetbaram” is used to describe not only east wind but also north wind, northeast wind, and northwest wind. In other words, in the east coastal regions, east wind is called “saetbaram” or “dongsae”; north wind is called “saetbaram” or “puksae”; northeast wind is “saetbaram” or “sadaetbaram”; and northwest wind is “utgosae.” This suggests that the designating term for wind in the native language in the east may have been replaced by a refashioned word—possibly due to the differences of the natural environment of fishing villages between the east and west coasts. In addition, “-sae” of “buksae” or “dongsae” can also refer to or be associated with the term “saetbaram” rather than the directions such as east or north. These terms are also included in a subcategory of "saetbaram", such as “waksae,” “dwensae,” or “geupsae.” Furthermore, farming villages alongside the East Coast showed no signs of using the term “saetbaram”, which is probably due to the difference of terms and meanings that occur across dialects because of the various environmental differences of the regions on the east and west coasts.

바람 명칭 ‘갈’에 대한 재고찰

This paper discusses the meaning of “gal”, as it takes notice that the ‘galbaram’ is reported as a west wind, as well as a south wind, southeast wind, and southwest wind, in regions on the East and the West Coast of Korea. In the east coastal regions, the west wind is called ‘hanuibaram, cheong(cheon)pung, and cheonggal’, the south wind is called ‘galbaram’ or ‘namgal’, the southeast wind is called ‘galbaram’ or ‘donggal’, and finally the southwest wind is called ‘doen(daen)gal’ of ‘cheojingal’. This indicates that the designating term for wind in the native language in the east may have been replaced by the new type word-possibly due to the differences in the natural environment of fishing villages between the East and West coasts. In addition, ‘-gal’ in ‘donggal’ and ‘namgal’ can refer to the term ‘galbaram’, which can be seen as a subcategory of ‘galbaram’ such as ‘cheojingal’ and ‘doen(daen)gal’. Except for the Cheongsong area, ‘galbarm’ is not used in the rural areas of the East Coast. This is because different dialects have differentiated other terms and meanings due to various environmental differences in regions on the East and West coasts.

Gastric metastasis from breast cancer is rare and only six cases have been reported in Korea. Colon metastasis is more rare than gastric metastasis. We report a 63-year-old woman with gastric and colon metastases of invasive lobular carcinoma of breast. She was diagnosed as right breast cancer, received right modified radical mastectomy 10 years ago and has been treated with chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Investigating for melena and a small caliber of stool, we found gastric and colon metastases. The diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer was made through gross pathologic and immunohistochemistry staining. We report a case with gastric and colon metastases from breast cancer and a review of the associated six case reports in Korea.

Effects of Clonidine Added to Ropivacaine in Epidural Anesthesia Young-Hoon Cho, M.D., Ji-Hyang Lee, M.D., Sang-Gon Lee, M.D., Jong-Il Kim, M.D.^*, Jong-Suk Ban, M.D., and Byung-Woo Min, M.D. Department of Anesthesiology, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea ^*Kim Jong Il Pain clinic, Daegu, Korea Background: Clonidine has been regarded as an adequate supplementary anesthetic during epidural anesthesia and has been used with local anesthetics such as bupivacaine or lidocaine to support the effects of these anesthetics. The authors would examine whether clonidine is an adequate supplementary anesthetic when it is used with ropivacaine during epidural ane-sthesia. Methods: Thirty-two healthy patients undergoing a hip or lower limb surgery were diveded into two groups. In group 1, 0.5% ropivacaine 15 ml was administered. In group 2, 0.5% ropivacaine 15 ml combined with clonidine 150 ㎍ was administered. Onset, duration and maximal height of sensory block were assessed. Sedation score, blood pressure and heart rate were measured. Results: Duration of sensory block of group 2 was significantly longer than that of group 1. Sedation score of group 2 was significantly higher than that of group 1. Blood pressure of group 2 was sig-nificantly lower thatn that of group 1 at 50 min, 70 min and 90 min after epidural injection. No significant differences were observed in onset of sensory block and heart rate between the two groups. Conclusions: The addition of clonidine to ropivacaine during epidural anesthesia prolonged duration of sensory block and produced useful sedation. It caused relatively stable hemodynamic changes. These results suggest that clonidine is an adequate supplementary anesthetic when it is used with ropivacaine during epidural anesthesia. (Korean J Anesthesiol 2001; 41: 428~433)

In Vitro Antiviral Activity of Ribavirin Against Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus Myung Jin LEE1, Kye-Hyung KIM1, Jongyoun YI2, SuJin CHOI1, Chung-Jong KIM1, Nak- Hyun KIM1, Kyoung-Ho SONG1, Pyoeng Gyun CHOI1, Ji-Hwan BANG1, Wan Beom PARK1, Eu Suk KIM1, Sang-Won PARK1, Hong Bin KIM1, Nam Joong KIM1, Myoung- Don OH1 Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea1, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Korea2 Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a novel Bunyavirus, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

The purpose of this study is to grasp the life-adaptation elements of middle aged women occupy an important position in our society and to provide data which helps to solve the problems they are facing by researching the kinds of stressful life events they experience, how much stress they feel, how they feel about their self-concept, how much depression they experience and the cause and effect relations of these variables. The subjects were 447 women between the ages of 40 to 59 years old living in Taegu. The data was analyzed with the frequency, percentage, correlation, multiple regression and path analysis using the SPSS PC+ program. Major results from the study are summarized as follows : 1. The seriousness of stress of middle aged women was not that high, and the number one cause of their stress was their children's exams and schooling followed by health problems, inflication or disagreements among family members. Their self-concept score was higher than average, where as depression was marked lower. Middle aged women, however, do seem to experience depression. 2. After researching how stressful life events and self-concept effect depression and what the cause and effect relations are, it was found that depression was influenced by the husband's education level, marital life, success or achievement, religious problems, health problem and self-concept. After researching the cause and effect relations of depression, it was found that self-concept was the most influential. The wife's education, the monthly income of the family, infliction or disagreements among family members, and health problems indirectly influenced it through self-concept. Health problems was the variable which had direct and indirect influence on depression. That is to say, it is found that the lower the depression is, the more the monthly income is, the lower the stress level is by infliction or disagreements among family members and health problems, the higher self-concept is.

This study attempted to determine the degree of asbestos release from the aging slate roof by comparing the asbestos content in the slate roof rain gutter with a colored steel plate (tin plate) over the slate roof. Four slate roof houses located in Haengmok-ri, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and one house constructed with a colored steel plate on the slate roof were selected to collect the sediment of the roof rain gutter. The asbestos fiber content was calculated by a point counting method using a polarization microscope after pretreatment with conversion treatment and hydrochloric acid treatment. The average asbestos content of the four slate roof rain gutter were 1.89%. However, asbestos was not detected in the Slate covering roof rain gutter, which were constructed on the slate roof. Asbestos fiber content was the highest at 2.89% in the slate roof rain gutter installed in 1976, followed by 2.44% in 1953. From the above results, it is necessary to minimize secondary damage as asbestos fibers released from slate roof houses to the surrounding atmosphere or leaked from slate roofs as rainwater may cause soil pollution and seriously affect residents' health. Although covering with colored steel plates (tin plates) has been shown to prevent the leakage of asbestos fibers to some extent, it is believed that a policy alternative to remove the slate roof as soon as possible is needed to solve the fundamental problem.
