Cytokines are known to function as regulatory molecules that can be produced by virtually every nucleated cell type in the body, including lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and many others. Cytokines include lymphocyte-derived factors (lymphokines), monocyte-derived factors (monokines), hematopoietic factors (colony-stimulating factors), connective tissue/growth factors, and chemotactic chemokines. Cytokines released in response to infection can affect tumor development in different ways. When exposed to infectious agents, cytokines are secreted by sentinel cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. These cytokines include interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α, as well as others, such as IL-6, IL-12, and IL-18. When released in sufficient quantities, these molecules can cause inflammation. Chronic inflammation is highly associated with tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. In this article, we review the roles and mechanisms of cytokines in tumor development.

We investigated the effects of photosynergist and LED curing on the kinetic and film properties of UV curable coatings containing micro-silica. Cure kinetics were studied by DPC and the degree of curing at the surfaces and the interfaces with substrate were investigated by FT-IR/ ATR. Coating properties such as hardness, gloss, chemical and stain resistances and adhesion of the UV cured films containing various concentration of micro-silica were investigated. The results showed that UV cured films containing micro-silica provide an excellent matting property while sacrificing chemical resistance due to the surface morphology and oxygen inhibition. The UV cured films containing photosynergist produced superior surface properties such as chemical resistance while sacrificing the adhesion and matting properties. LED-UV dual curing system was proposed to optimize the process for the system where both high matting and excellent coating properties are required.

Monte Carlo 컴퓨터 시물레이션에 의하여 곡율반경이 주어진 중성자 가이드가 1차원에서 분석되었다. 선택된 가이드는 폭 4.5 mm 높이 50 mm의 단면적과 300 m의 곡율반경을 갖는 소형 가이드이다. 4 Å의 단색, 등방성 중성자원에 의하여 가이드의 입구가 조사되었을 때 가이드의 출구에서 가이드를 통과한 중성자들의 각 및 위치분포가 결정되었다. 또한 transmission 효율, transmitted intensity 및 평균반사 횟수등이 중성자 파장의 함수로 계산되었다. Monte Carlo computer simulation mathod was used to analyze the properties of a one-dimensional curved guide. A simulation code tracing the behavior of neutrons within neutron guide systems was delveloped by authors for determining the transmission characteristics of the curved-neutron gudes. Spatial and angular distributions of the neutrons transmitted along a neutron guide was calculated for a 4 Å mono-energetic isotropic neutron source, neglecting imperfect reflectivity. Transmission efficiency, transmission intensity, and average number of reflections were also calculated as a function of wavelength.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in a rural area of Korea and to examine the relationship between the prevalence and correlates of subjects. Method : This study was done as a part of the chronic disease survey of rural area by the Asan Foundation. Among 30 years or older population from Jung Eup, a rural area of Korea, 711 male subjects were sampled using a cluster probability sampling method. Trained interviewers visited and interviewed subjects aged 30 years or older with a structured interview. ED was categorized as 'none', 'mild', 'moderate', or 'severe' according to the ability to 'attain and/or maintain an erection satisfactory for sexual intercourse'. Response rate was 54.3% (N=386). Results : The age weighted prevalence of ED was 27.2% (minimal 14.1%, moderate 7.6%, severe 5.5%). Prevalence and severity increased with age. Liver disease and underweight were significantly (p<0.05) associated with ED. Smoking seemed to be correlated with ED, but did not reach statistically significant level. Conclusion : ED was highly prevalent in the rural community of Korea. Medical, sociodemographic, and lifestyle variables associated with ED may alert physicians to patients at risk for ED and offer insight to its etiology.

무증상으로 발견된 담낭-담관 누공을 동반한 Mirizzi 증후군 1예

홍진희,전태주,서지영,서동대,오태훈,신원창,최원충,신은아,김기환 인제대학교 2009 仁濟醫學 Vol.30 No.-

Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare complication of the gallstone disease, characterized by narrowing of the common bile duct (CBD) due to chronic extrinsic compression of an impacted gallstone in the cystic duct or the neck of the gallbladder. The impacted gallstone may erode into the bile duct, causing cholecystocholedochal fistula. The patients generally have history of repeated attacks of jaundice and abdominal pain. But there is no report about asymptomatic Mirizzi syndrome with cholecystocholedochal fistula which were found incidentally. So herein we present our clinical experience with a case of asymptomatic Mirizzi syndrome with cholecystocholedochal fistula in a young female.

Exact calculation of the various listed data on the basis of measurement theory is carried out to investigate the errors on data handling included in the scientific text books. Errors on the printed values, which are due to the rough verval explanation, are found in these books. Even if the derived values from the indirect measurement have the same significant figures as the measured values, the checking for precision is needed. Typical errors for attention in treating the data are listed on the exemplified table for a guide of handling the data and writing the book.

Purposes : Bacillary Dysentery is one of the representative infectious disease that widely occurred in recent years, Korea. This study was performed to propose the helpful advices for control of Bacillary Dysentery outbreak based on an assessment of the results of epidemiological survey for Bacillary Dysentery outbreak on May 16, 2000 in Busan. Methods : Subjects were 7,188 peoples who showed diarrhea and contacted with active participants in a religious meeting and suspected cases surveyed from May 16 to May 31, 2000. Direct interview about participation, presence of diarrhea, and history of spring water drinking, and rectal swab on the patients who had diarrhea were done. Results : Among 7,188 peoples, 458 patients had simple diarrhea, and 135 patients confirmed infected with Shigella sonnei. Among confirmed cases. 94.8% had actively participated the religious meeting. The first case occurred on May 10, and consecutive outbreak was concentrated on May 12 and 13. Elementary school children(40.7%) and their parents(35.6%), and women(65.2%) were majority of the confirmed cases. Drinking history of the spring water during the meeting was highly suspected as a cause of this outbreak(odds ratio=3.29, 95% confidence interval=1.59∼6.82). Food intake history was not checked because with low possibility of causing factor. Conclusions : This outbreak appear to be closely related to drinking not sterilized spring water when participating in a religious meeting. However, actual route of transmission was not defined because the epidemiological survey was started six days after the first attack, and, could not find the causative agent in the spring water. The prompt epidemiological survey thought to be essential and important when occurred episode. And also, cooperation with the corresponding health authorities would be very important when the outbreak occurred distant area as this episode. Personal and public concerns and efforts should be sustained to prevent the outbreak and spread-out of Bacillary dysentery.
