This study investigated possible involvement of photoperiodic regulation in reproductive endocrine system of female olive flounder. To investigate the influence on brain-pituitary axis in endocrine system by regulating photoperiod, compared expression level of Kisspeptin and sbGnRH mRNA in brain and FSH-β, LH-β and GH mRNA in pituitary before and after spawning. Photoperiod was treated natural photoperiod and long photoperiod (15L:9D) conditions from Aug. 2013 to Jun. 2014. Continuous long photoperiod treatment from Aug. (post-spawning phase) was inhibited gonadal development of female olive flounder. In natural photoperiod group, the Kiss2 expression level a significant declined in Mar. (spawning period). And also, FSH-β, LH-β and GH mRNA expression levels were increasing at this period. However, in long photoperiod group, hypothalamic Kiss2, FSH-β, LH-β and GH mRNA expression levels did not show any significant fluctuation. These results suggest that expression of hypothalamic Kiss2, GtH and GH in the pituitary would change in response to photoperiod and their possible involvement of photoperiodic regulation in reproductive endocrine system of the BPG axis.

연구목적 : 세포의 면역 기능 조절에 관여하는 CTLA-4의 유전자 다형성을 분석하여 주요 우울장애와의 면역 유전학적 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : DSM-Ⅳ진단 기준에 따라 주요 우울장애로 진단된 환자 77명을 선정하였으며 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 조혈모세포은행에서 보유하고 있는 149명의 정상 한국인 자료를 대조군으로 사용하였다. 전혈에서 DNA를 추출하였으며 중합효소반응으로 CTLA-4유전자 exon 1 부위를 증폭한 후 SSCP방법으로 유전?? 형별 분석하였다. 결 과 : 대조군과 주요 우울장애 환자군 사이의 CTLA-4 유전자형과 대립유전자의 발현 빈도를 비교시 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 본 연구 결과 exon 1 CTLA-4 유전자형 및 대립유전자의 발현빈도는 주요 우울장애 환자군과 정상 대조군 사이에 차이가 없어, exon 1 영역은 후보 유전자로서의 가능성이 없었다. 향후 연구에서는 다양한 변인들에 따라 대상군을 임상적으로 동질성을 지닌 집단으로 세분하여 조사대상 유전자와의 관련성에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 하겠다. Objectives : This study was carried out to explore the relationship between major depressive disorder and CTLA-4 which is related to the immunologic function such as T cell regulation. Methods : Among the korean patients diagnosed as major depressive disorder according to DSM-Ⅳ, 77 patients without neurological illness, hormonal disorder, or comorbid mental illness were selected. The stored data of 149 normal Koreans from the Catholic Hemopoietic Stem Cell Bank of Korea, were used as a normal control group. The data of Korean control group were compared with those of the studies of different ethnics. DNA was extracted from whole blood and the exon I region of CTLA-4 gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Gene typing was performed by using SSCP and then, the results were assessed. Results : There were no significant differences in genotype frquencies of CTLA-4*G/G, CTLA-4*G/A, and CTLA-4*A/A between the patients with major depressive disorder and the control group in Korean population(48.1% vs 46.3%, 41.6% vs 39.6%, 10.3% vs 14.1%, respectively).There were no significant differences in allelic frequencies of CTLA-4*G and CTLA-4*A between the patients with major depressive disorder and the control group in Korean population(68.8% vs 66.1%, 31.2% vs 33.9%, respectively). Conclusion : Considering negative result for the association of the exon I polymorphism of CTLA-4 gene with major depressive disorder in this study, the exon I polymorphism does not appear to be possible candidate gene for major depressive disorder. Moreover, further systematic researches including diverse clinical variables would required.

전제천,김치홍,정의영,이창훈,김병균 한국어류학회 2002 韓國魚類學會誌 Vol.14 No.3

본 연구는 돌 가자미(Kareius bicoloratus)의 난발생에 미치는 수온과 염분의 영향을 알아보지 위하여 수행되었다. 5단계의 수온 조건 (7, 10, 13, 16 및 19℃) 및 5단계의 염분 조건(25, 30, 35, 40psu 및 현장해수 염분 : 33.6psu)에서 수정란을 발생시켜 발생 속도와 부화율 측정하였다. 수정란의 발생속도는 수온이 높을수록 빨랐으며, 수온(T: ℃)과 각 발생 단계별 소요시간(h:hour) 사이의 관계를 직선 함수에 회귀시켰을 때 각 발생단계별 관계식은 다음과 같다. 8세포기 : 1/h = 0.01441T - 0.02728(r^(2) = 0.998) 낭배기 : 1/h = 0.00269T - 0.00319(r^(2) = 0.997) 안포형성기 : 1/h = 0.00171T - 0.00053(r^(2) = 0.998) 심장형성기 : 1/h = 0.00121T - 0.00018(r^(2) = 0.995) 부화기 : 1/h = 0.00101T - 0.00266)(r^(2) = 0.998) 이상의 관계식으로부터 추정된 돌 가자미의 난 발생이 개시되는 생물학적 영도는 1.3℃이었다. 8세포기, 낭배기, 안포형성기. 심장형성기 및 부화기까지의 적산수온은 각각 72.9, 356.7, 525.8, 735.2 및 1156.7℃로 계산되었다. 수온은 부화율에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 부화율이 수온이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 7℃일 때 부화율이 62.0%로 가장 높았다. 수온이 16℃ 이상일 때 기형어의 출현율이 증가하였다(p<0.05). 염분 또는 부화율에 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다(p<0.001). 염분에 따른 부화율은 자연해수의 염분인 33.6psu에서 54.1%로 가장 높았고, 이보다 낮거나 높은 경우에는 부화율이 감소하였다. 특히, 염분이 30psu 미만으로 감소할 경우 기형어의 출현율 증가하였다(p<0.04). 돌 가자미의 난 발생 및 정상적인 부화를 위한 조건은 산란시기의 수온과 염분에 가까울수로고 좋은 것으로 판단된다. This study was conducted to determine the influences of water temperature and salinity on the embryonic development of the stone flounder, Kareius bicoloratus as a part of research on the artificial seedling production of the fish. Embryos were incubated under five different temperatures (7, 10, 13, 16 and 19℃) and five different salinities (25, 30, 35, 40 psu and the ambient salinity: 33.6 psu) until they hatched. The required times for embryonic development decreased with increase of water temperature. The relationships between the water temperature (T: ℃) and required times (h: hour) for the embryo to attain each develop-mental stage were obtained by linear regressions as follows; 8-cell stage : l/h = 0.01441T-0.02728 (r² = 0.998) 50%-epiboly stage : Uh = 0.00269T-0.00319 (r² = 0.997) Optic vesicle formation stage : l/h = 0.00171T-0.00053 (r² = 0.998) Heart formation stage : l/h = 0.00121T-0.00018 (r² = 0.995) Hatching stage : l/h = 0.00101T-0.00266 (r²= 0.998) From these equations, the biological minimum temperature for embryonic development of K. bicoloratus was estimated to be 1.3℃. Cumulative water temperatures to reach 8-cell stage, 50%-epiboly stage, optic vesicle formation stage, hearth formation stage, and hatching stage were 72.9, 356.7, 525.8, 735.2, and 1,156.7℃, respectively. Water temperature affected significantly the hatching rate (p< 0.001). The hatching rate decreased with increase of water temperature. The highest hatching rate was 62.0% at 7℃. When the water temperature was higher than 16℃, the proportion of abnormal larvae increased (p < 0.05). Salinity also affected significantly the hatching rate (p< 0.001). The highest hatching rate was 54.1% at the salinity (33.6 psu) of ambient seawater. When the salinity was lower than 30 psu, the proportion of abnormal larvae increased ip < 0.05).

이종훈,장경수,장치훈,김일택,정용성,김귀현,전무형 충남대학교 수의과대학 동물의과학연구소 1996 動物醫科學硏究誌 Vol.4 No.-

An epidemiologic study on pleuropneumonia in the slaughter pigs(Chonan and Asan area, Chungnam province, Korea) during the period of January 1994 through December 1995 was conducted. Isolation of A. pleuropneumoniae was attempted in 425 pigs with pneumonic lesions. Biochemical properties, antimicrobial susceptibility, serotypes and pathogenicity of A. pleuropneumoniae isolates were investigated. In addition, outer membrane protein(OMP) of the isolates were extracted to determine its properties and immunogenicity in both mice and piglets. Of 3,395 slaughter pigs, pleuropneumonia was observed in 425 pigs(10.6%). A. pleuropneumoniae was isolated from 22 pigs(5.2%) out of 425 pigs with pneumonic lesions. The biochemical properties of all isolates were same as those of reference A. pleuropneumoniae strain. Among 22 isolates, 9, 1 and 12 isolates were serovar 2, 3 and 5, respectively. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that the isolates showed high susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and cephalothin, moderate susceptibility to amikacin, gentamicin, kanamycin and streptomycin, and low susceptibility to erythromycin, tylosin and sulfadimethoxin. The isolates were varied in pathogenicity to mice. Median lethal dose of LE9402(serovar 2) and LE9511(serovar 5) were 9.2×10^7CFU and 2.8×10^7CFU, respectively. Specific pneumonic lesions were observed from the infected mice with clinical signs. Bacteria recovery rate was high in the lung, but low in heart blood and tracheas. Serovar 2 was found to be more pathogenic than serovar 5 in guinea pig. Mortality on guinea pigs inoculated with serovar 2(5.4×10^8 - 5.4×10^6CFU) abd serovar 5(2.8×10^8 - 2.8×10^6CFU) was 20-40% and 40-80%, respectively. A severe hemorrhagic lesions and focal pneumonic lesions were observed from dead guinea pigs. Bacteria recovery rate was relatively higher in the lung than that of other organs. In the SDS-PAGE analysis, OMP-enriched fractions of both isolates and reference strains contain common peptide bands equivalent to molecular weight of 17, 27, 42, 52 and 95Kd. In addition to common peptide bands, the bands which are specific to each isolate were also observed. The profiles of Sephadex G25 fractions showed 3 major peaks. The common peptide bands which were observed by SDS-PAGE of the crude OMPs were found i the peaks 1 and 2. The OMPs extracted from serovar 2(LE9402) and serovar 5(LE9511) provided high level of protection in mice(70-80%) and pigs(100%). All animals inoculated with OMPs were seroconverted, showing micro-agglutination titer of 640 to 1280.

Transbronchial lung biopsy(TBLB) is a relatively simple and convenient diagnostic tool in solitary pulmonary nodule(SPN) on chest radiograph, which is cannot be diagnosed through routine tests. To investigate the diagnostic value and diagnostic rate of TBLB according to the variable factor, we analyzed 69 patients with radiologically SPN lesion on chest radiograph which was confirmed histologically. A histologic diagnosis of TBLB was made in 47 of 69 patients(68.1%), in which 26 of 37(70.3%) with malignancy and 21 of 32(65.6%) with benign lesion. There were no significant differences in diagnostic yield according to age, sex and location of the lesion. The diagnostic rate tended to increase with the more than 5 pieces to acquired by TBLB. When the size of SPN was less than 3 ㎝, it cannot be diagnosed. In conclusion, TBLB is a diagnostic procedure with good yield and safety, but percutaneous needle aspiration, transbronchial needle aspiration, and bronchial washing fluid cytology may be a complementary procedure to overcome the limitation of TBLB and get higher diagnostic yield for SPN.

We have proposed a surface-micromachined new microflow sensor to resolve the problems of poor thermal isolation and low sensitivity inherently in typical thermal flow sensors. A membrane of insulating films on a vacuum cavity supports a n'-poly heating resistor and two bidoped poly-Si thermophiles. We have investigated on heat-transfer characteristics of the sensor microstructure with the Sum-depth cavity of 100x100 μm^(2) by a two-dimensional numerical simulation as a function of the inside pressure of the cavity. As a result, the microstructure with the vacuum cavity shows better themal isolation effects than that of the air cavity.

장경수,장치훈,김일택,박승춘,윤효인,전무형 충남대학교 수의과대학 동물의과학연구소 1996 動物醫科學硏究誌 Vol.4 No.-

In this study the antimicrobial spectrum and sensitivity of ciprofloxacin(CFX) against the major pathogenic bacteria isolated from the diseased poultry, pig, cattle in Korea were evaluated in comparison with morfloxacin(NFX), enrofloxacin(EFX), nalidixic acid(NA), gentamicin(GM), tetracycline(TC), erythromycin(EM), streptomycin(SM) and penicillin(PC). Increasing by paper disk diffusion test for total of 439 isolates from poultry, pig and cattle, CFX showed remarkably higher sensitivity(>83%) as compared with other drugs. When three quinolones such as CFX, NFX and NA were compared for the inhibition activity against 4 major pathogens, CFX induced significantly larger diameter of inhibition zone through all of the tested concentration than NFX and NA. As MICs of all drugs for 11 bacterial species isolated from poultry were measured, the MIC range of CFX was 0.125 - 40 ㎍/㎖ in Gram positives, ≤ 0.005 - 2.5 ㎍/㎖ in Gram negatives and 0.08 - 1.25 ㎍/㎖ with 12 isolates of Mycoplasma. MIC_50 and MIC_90 of CFX in these cases revealed consistently lower as compared with those of NFX, GM and PC. When the MICs of the drugs were tested with 11 bacterial species from the diseased pigs, MIC range of CFX was 0.05 - 3.5 ㎍/㎖ in Gram positives, ≤ 0.005 - 0.8 ㎍/㎖ with Gram negatives and 0.5 - 9.0 ㎍/㎖ with 11 isolates of Mycoplasma. MIC_50 and MIC_90 of CFX and NFX were remarkably lower than those of GM and PC. As MICs of CFX, NFX, GM and PC for 10 bacterial species isolated from cattle were tested, the MIC range of CFX was found 0.01 - 4.0 ㎍/㎖ in Gram positives, and ≤ 0.005 - 0.2 ㎍/㎖ in Gram negative bacteria. The MIC_50 and MIC_90 of CFX in cases of cattle appeared remarkably lower than those of the other drugs. CFX, as compared with the other drugs, showed invariably lower MIC_50 and MIC_90 in both of GRam positives and negatives. As MICs of CFX, NFX and PC for 12 reference bacteria were examined, MIC of CFX was 0.03 - 0.25 ㎍/㎖ that was much lower drug concentration than those of NFX(0.25 - 1.0 ㎍/㎖) and PC(0.5 - 16.0㎍/㎖).

This study investigated possible involvement of photoperiodic regulation in reproductive endocrine system of female olive flounder. To investigate the influence on brain-pituitary axis in endocrine system by regulating photoperiod, compared expression level of Kisspeptin and sbGnRH mRNA in brain and FSH-${\beta}$, LH-${\beta}$ and GH mRNA in pituitary before and after spawning. Photoperiod was treated natural photoperiod and long photoperiod (15L:9D) conditions from Aug. 2013 to Jun. 2014. Continuous long photoperiod treatment from Aug. (post-spawning phase) was inhibited gonadal development of female olive flounder. In natural photoperiod group, the Kiss2 expression level a significant declined in Mar. (spawning period). And also, FSH-${\beta}$, LH-${\beta}$ and GH mRNA expression levels were increasing at this period. However, in long photoperiod group, hypothalamic Kiss2, FSH-${\beta}$, LH-${\beta}$ and GH mRNA expression levels did not show any significant fluctuation. These results suggest that expression of hypothalamic Kiss2, GtH and GH in the pituitary would change in response to photoperiod and their possible involvement of photoperiodic regulation in reproductive endocrine system of the BPG axis.
