Objectives: This study investigated the gene expression profile in basal ganglia of manganese-exposed rats based on cDNA array analysis. Methods: For cDNA array, 25 male Sprague-Dawley rats (250±25 g) were intraperitoneally injected with 25 ㎎/㎏ B. W./day of MnCl2 (0.3 ㎖) for 10 days. For dose-related gene expression analysis, rats were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2, 1.0, and 5.0 ㎎/㎏ B. W/day of MnCl2 for 10 days. Control rats were injected with an equal volume of saline. RNA samples were extracted from brain tissue and reverse-transcribed in the presence of [α^(32)P]-dATP. Membrane sets of the Atlas Rat 1.2 array Ⅱ and Toxicology array 1.2 kit (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA) were hybridized with cDNA probe sets. Northern blot hybridization method was employed to assess the dose-related gene expression. Results: Fifty-two genes showed significant changes in expression of more than two-fold. Twenty-eight were up-regulated and 24 were down-regulated in the manganese-exposed group compared to the control. Among the 52 genes, 28 genes including nuclear factor I-X1 (NF1-X1), neuroligin 2 and 3, mitochondrial stress-70 protein (MTHSP70), neurodegeneration-associated protein 1 (Neurodap 1), multidrug resistance protein (MDR), and endoplasmic reticulum stress protein 72 (ERP72), were reported for the first time related to the manganese-induced neurotoxic-metabolism in the rat basal ganglia. According to the dose-related gene expression analyses, MTHSP70, Neurodap 1 and ERP72 genes were up-regulated compared to the control even in the group exposed to low manganese dose ( 0.2 ㎎/㎏ B.W./day). Conclusions: Twenty-eight genes detected for the first time in this study were closely related to the manganese-induced neurotoxic-metabolism in the rat basal ganglia and further study of these genes can give some more useful information about the manganese metabolism.

The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of HPV types(16, 18) in cervix of gynecologic patients and to elucidate the relationship of HPV types(16, 18) and clinical characteristics. Human papilloma virus(HPV) has attracted attention as one of the viruses linked to human cancers. Numerous clinical, epidemiological, and molecular studies indicate that certain genital HPV types are associated with cervical carcinoma. Of 100 types of HPV identified today, at least 40 have been found in the anogenital mucosa. A classification of these types into three groups with differing pathogenicity has been proposed: HPV type 6, 11, 42, 43, and 44 are detected more frequently in benign lesions such as condylomata; HPV type 31, 33, 35, 51, 52, and 58 are found more often in low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions than invasive lesions; and HPV 16, 18, 45, and 56 are predominant in high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and invasive carcinoma. To detect HPV types prevalent in carcinoma of the uterine cervix, a type-specific, sensitive polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-based assay for HPV types 16, 18 was applied to 18 cervical carcinomas(15 squamous cell carcinomas and 3 adenocarcinomas), 21 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN), and 42 samples of cervicitis and histologically normal. DNA extraction from cervical swab was done using DNAzol™(MBI, USA) and Nested PCR was done using HPV detection kit(Bioneer, Korea). The amplified product was analyzed directly on the basis of the site of ethidium bromide-stained band visible after agarose gel electrophoresis. The results were as follows 1. The positivity rates of HPV type 16 and HPV type 18 were 12.5%(90/718), 2,5%(18/718). so, HPV 16 positive cases(12.5%) was five folds as HPV 18 positive cases(2.5%) 2. Forty eight percents(39/81) of HPV 16 or HPV 18 positive cases were CIN, microinvasive cancer. 3. Age, Gestation number, Clinical stage, Histologic cell type in relation to HPV types were not statistically significant.

김대환,이채관,김휘동,강동묵,문덕환,김정호,손병철,이창희,이채언 인제대학교 백병원 2002 仁濟醫學 Vol.23 No.1

유기용제는 산업장에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 여성근로자들의 폭로기회가 증가하고 있으며 이로 인한 자연유산, 수태능력 감소, 월경이상 등이 보고되고 있다. 따라서 유기용제 폭로가 여성근로자들의 월경에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 설문조사와 월경주기별 여성생식 호르몬(progesterone, estrogen) 분석을 하였다. 그 결과 폭로군에서 progeterone의 억제효과가 유기용제에 폭로되는 여성근로자들의 다양한 월경이상을 초래할 가능성이 있는 것으로 생각된다. ■ Objectives This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of menstrual function in female workers exposed to organic solvents. ■ Methods Rates of menstrual disorders were studied in 87 female workers with exposure to organic solvents(Cn/Hn-value 0.713) in a factory manufacturing shoes and compared with 83 general female workers who had no exposure to organic solvents, Detailed menstrual and reproductive histories were obtained by personal interview using structured questionnaire, and plasma concentrations of progesterone and estrogen were assayed by radioimmunoassay(RIA). ■ Results The rates for menstrual irregularity, menstrual duration, blood clot in menstrual flow and dysmenorrhea were not significantly different in both groups. Number of using menstrual pad was significantly higher and the plasma level of progesterone during 6-11th day of menstrual cycle was significantly lower in the exposed group compared with non-exposed group(P<0.05). ■ Conclusions It seemed to be suppression effect of organic solvents on the reproductive hormones(progesterone and estrogen) in female workers. But there was no evidence that menstrual disorder was likely to result from exposure to organic solvents, because other behavioral, psychological and work related factors may also affect menstrual function.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) region are selectively destroyed. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) has been well known to play a key role in a variety of processes such as embryogenesis, cell proliferation and protection, and tissue repair during inflammation. However, the evidences for the innate role of Shh in adult brain injury are presently lacking and studies have been needed to unveil the importance of Shh in the process of neurodegeneration.</P> <P>Here, we investigated the role of Shh in the pathologic progress of Parkinson's disease in MPTP-induced animal model system. Interestingly, we observed that Shh expression was gradually increased in MPTP affected SNpc region. Activated microglia exclusively expressed SHH <I>in vivo</I> and we could recapitulate Shh induction in activated cultured primary microglia cells. Using the SHH responsive Cre-loxP binary genetic reporter transgenic mouse system, we also found that most of the cell types except for oligodendrocyte in the SNpc region reacted to the SHH by MPTP injection. Taken together, activated microglia induced Shh expression and most neural cells except oligodendrocyte responded to microglia-derived SHH in MPTP-treated SN. These results suggest that SHH in activated microglia by MPTP-injection might be involved in the innate processes of recovery from neurotoxin induced injury in the PD animal model system.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Sonic hedgehog (Shh) was induced by MPTP neurotoxin at the Substantia Nigra (SN) <I>in vivo.</I> </LI> <LI> Activated microglia are major cell type for SHH expression <I>in vivo</I> and <I>in vitro.</I> </LI> <LI> Different types of cells in the brain, except oligodendrocyte, respond to microglia-derived SHH in SN region. </LI> </UL> </P>

N/A Portal circultion in patients with various liver diseases was evaluated by Tc-99m pertechnetate per-rectal scintigraphy. 10mCi of pertechnetate was instilled into the upper rectum, and serial scintigrams were taken. Time-activity curves for the liver and heart were recorded sequentially. Through analysis of these curves, the per-rectal portal shunt indices were calculated for 15 norrnal controls, 12 with acute hepatitis (AH), 28 with chronic hepatitis, 51 with liver cirrhosis, 1 with falminant hepatic failure (FHF ). 5 with hepatic congestion (I-IC) due to congestive heart failure (CHF). The results obtained were as follows: 1) 15 normal controls and the patients with acute and chronic hepatitis all had 'Pattern II' scintigrams, and the patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatic congestion had 'Pattern II' scintigrams. One patient with FHF showed 'Pattern II' scintigram. 2) The shunt index (SI) in the normal controls was l.32±1.30%, in AH 10.9±5.7%, in CPH 5.4±2.3%, in CAH 11.8±4.2%, in LC 72.4±21.6%, in HC 39.9±27.2%, and in one FHF 75.4%. 3) Patients with various liver diseases had the significantly higher SI than the normal controls (p < 0.001). Also, the SI in pts. with liver cirrhosis was significantly higher than that of all the other groups (p < 0.001). 4) The mean SI was significantly higher for chronic liver diseases, that were more severe, increasing in the order of CPH, CAH and liver cirrhosis (p<0.001). Also, pts. With AH and CAH showed the significantly higher SI than pts. With CPH (p<0.001), and there was no significant difference in the SI between pts. With AH and CAH (p>0.05). 5) The mean SI was significantly higher in the cirrhotic pts. With varices, encephalopathy, splenomegaly or ascites than in such patient without them (p<0.005). 6) The mean SI in the cirrhotic pts, was calculated according to the modified Child's classification, of which results were that the SI was increased significantly in the order of Grade A, B and C (p< 0.001). 7) In one patient with LC, SI was much decreased from 39.5% before surgery to 7.1% after surgery. The above results suggest that per-rectal portal scintigraphy can be used to evaluate the portal circulation non-invasively and diagnose the portal hypertension in various liver diseases. Also, it can be used to express the degree of any portal hypertension not only by images but also quantitatively, using shunt index, and it is considered useful for the observation of the course of liver diseases and eva]uation of effectiveness of therapy.

A virtual broadcast is usually produced by using a chroma keying technique in a chroma studio. However, this approach not only requires a high cost for the initial configuration and employment of the expertise, but also has a spatial constraint. In this paper, we present a system that can make the virtual broadcast without spatial constraint and in real time. To this end, we use a RGB-D sensor to extract the object of interest from taken scene. We solve the hole and unmatched edge problems occurred in the RGB-D sensor to extract the object clearly. This replaces the existing method of object extraction that relies on the chroma studio. The proposed method is expected to be applied to a variety of applications such as the virtual meeting, e- learning, as well as to overcome the spatial limitations of previous virtual broadcast production system.
