Background : In recent years, gonorrhea has been panedemic and remains one of the most commom STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. Objective & Methods: For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of PPNG, we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the VD Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by means of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. Results: In 1996, 139 strains of N. gonorrhoeae were isolated, among which 53(39.0%) were PPNG. Conclusion: Our results suggests that after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, the prevalence of PPNG in Seoul is gradually declining.

Hemophilia B, a human chromosome X-linked recessive disease, is a bleeding disorder resulting from defect or abnormality in blood coagulation factor IX. DNA-based prenatal diagnosis or carrier detection for hemophilia B in Korean has been developed by analyzing restriction fragment length polymorphisms(RFLPs). Two polymorphisms( Dde I and Mnl I) were investigated as follow. Genomic DNAs were extracted from blood of 50 females at the age of twenty. The primers were chemically synthesized by the method of phosphoamidite. Mnl I primers were derived from exon 6, while Dde I primers, from the flanking sequences of intron 1 of the factor IX gene. Genomic DNAs were amplified with Mnl I primers to generate 405 nts long fragments in all cases. They were digested with Mnl I to analyze the polymorphic site on agarose gel. No MnlI polymorphic site was found in all cases. Also, the genomic DNAs were amplified with Dde I primers to generate ca. 320 nts long fragments in all cases. These results are not correlated with those obtained from the Caucasian. It suggests that Korean could exhibit different patterns of Dde I and Mnl I polymorphisms in the gene for blood coagulation factor IX. Direct sequencing of the polymorpic sites will confirm the above sugestion.

In the development of enteral foods for the patients with diarrhea, soybean hull, by-products of soybean processing, was used to prepare crude dietary fiber extracts (soybean hull fiber, SHF). Total dietary fiber content of SHF is 85% and their composition are 86.1% cellulose, 8.1% hemi-cellulose, and 4.7% lignin. The effects of SHF on the prevention of diarrhea were studied in animal. Spraque-Dawley (SD) rats were fed AIN93G diets containing 5% dietary fiber for 3days simultaneously inducing diarrhea with the phenolphthalein Mg citrate solution. On day 4, feces were collected at different time point. Dietary fibers used for the animal study were SHF, soybean cotyledon fiber (SCF), psyllium husk fiber (PHF), and chicory fiber (CF). α-cellulose was used as a control. Body weight gain, calorie consumed and food efficiency ratio among the experimental groups were not different. However, water content in the feces of SHF group was significantly lower by 10%, compared with other groups at 24hrs. time point. This effect was even greater in the feces collected later than 24 hrs. time point. SHF seems to have a greater effects on slow the symptom of diarrhea. Based on the previous results, enteral food enriched with SHF were prepared and its effect was compared with other commercially available products from domestic or imported ones. Weight changes among experimental groups were not different, but the moisture content of feces consumed SHF enriched products were lower than that of other products. Approximately 10% decrease in water content was observed from feces collected at 24 hr time point. According to the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability of the enteral food enriched with SHF was 3.24 out of 5 indicating that taste of this product is acceptable. 대두가공에 부산물로부터 얻어지는 대두 식이섬유를 이용하여 설사환자를 위한 경장 영양 식이를 개발하기 위하여 쥐에게 투여한 후 체중증가율, 변의 수분감소, 사료효율 등을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 대두피 중의 식이섬유함량은 85% 이었고 cellulose 가장 높았으며 hemi-cellulose, lignin의 순 이었다. 대두 식이섬유가 대조구에 비하여 체중 감소율은 약간 낮았고 사료효율은 약간 높았다. 대두 식이섬유를 섭취시킨 쥐가 치커리 식이섬유, 차전자 피에 비하여 24시간 후의 변의 수분함량은 10% 낮았다. 대두 식이섬유를 첨가한 경장영양식이로 사육한 쥐의 체중변화와 사료효율은 3제품 간에 차이가 없었으나 다른 하나의제품은 대조군에 비하여 낮았다. 대두 식이섬유를 이용하여 가공한 경장영양식이 다른 상업용 제품에 비하여 실험쥐의 변 수분함량은 10% 이상 낮았다.

DNA-based prenatal diagnosis or carrier detection for hemophilia B in Korean has been developed by RFLPs. The polymorphisms were Taq I and Xmn I . Genomic DNAs were extracted from the blood of 56 females and 10 males at the age of twenty. The PCR primers were chemically synthesized by the method of phosphoramidite. Taq I-59 & -39 derived from flanking sequences of intron 4 generate 163nt fragment. And, Xmn 1-59 & -39, derived from the flanking sequences of intron 3 allow amplification 222nt fragment. Using Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) method, each segment(intron 3-Xmn I, intron 4-Taq I) was amplified with each primers and the genomic DNA as template. The amplified DNA fragments were treated with an appropriate restriction enzyme. The Xmn I polymorphism of the factor IX gene was detected on agarose gel as segments of 154 and 68nt, respectively. The heterozygote frequency, calculated from the allele frequencies (0.025/0.975) in intron 3-Xmn I polymorphism, was 4.8%. In case of intron 4-Taq I polymorphism, there is no polymorphic site. So that the heterozygote frequency calculated from the allele frequencies (0.0/1.0) in intron 4-Taq I polymorphism, was 0%. Thus, the two intragenic polymorphisms predicted to be informative was 4.8% in this study. The results are not correlated with those obtained from the Caucasian. It suggests that Korean exhibit different patterns of Xmn I and Taq I polymorphism in the human coagulation factor IX gene.

Expressed sequence tag(EST) has a good value to discover a new gene or to study its structure. Some 20 ESTs were generated to obtain new genetic resources of chinese cabbage(Brassian campestris L. var. pekinensis Makino). Poly A+ RNAs were isolated from 10-day-old seedlings grown at 25℃ under the day light. cDNA gene bank was constructed using λ ZAP /cDNA synthesis /Giga Pack Gold Packing kit. About a million clones were able to obtain from the library. All the clones examined so far had insert DNAs. Nucleotide compositions of randomly selected clones were determined by the Sanger mthod. The DNA sequences were compared with those deposited in the GenePept and GenBank database to figure out nucleotide homologies. Two ESTs showed significant similarities to the enlisted sequences. They are chloroplast GADPH subunit of Arabidopsis thaliana and carbonic anhydrase of A. thaliana. The full DNA sequences of the two clones are being determined. The cDNA gene bank constructed. in this experiment will being used to isolate more genes induced by the light in the plant.

Aplastic anemia is a disease characterized by pancytopenia in the peripheral blood and hypocellular bone marrow with the fatty infiltration. The causes of the acquired aplastic anemia were usually related to drugs and immune-related diseases. A 34-years old man was admitted due to general weakness. He has been going hemodialysis for 2 years because of end stage renal disease (ESRD) due to chronic glomerulonephritis. At admission, laboratory tests showed hemoglobin 6.2 g/dL, hematocrit 18.0 %, WBC 5,710mm (neutrophil 71.8%, lymphocyte 19.1%, monocyte 5.9%), reticulocyte 1.9%, platelet 93,000/mm, Fe 12.8 ug/dL, TIBC 204 ug/dL, ferritin 941.47 ng /ml, haptoglobin 0.72 g/L, vitamin B12 508.17 pmol/L, folate 24 ng/mL, total protein 6.54 g/dL, albumin 3.76 g/dL, Alk. pohsphatase 79 IU/L, AST 30.0 IU/L, ALT 39.7 IU/L, total bilirubin 0.57 mg/dl, BUN 79.4 mg/dl and creatinine 10.18 mg/dl. Peripheral blood smear showed the normocytic normochromic anemia with anisocytosis. Anemia was diagnosed but it was irresponsive to the recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) and blood transfusion. In the bone marrow aspiration smear were there the hypoplastic myeloid and erythroid precursors. The bone marrow biopsy section showed the hypoplasia of all components (10-20%) and the fatty infiltration. We have experienced one case of the idiopathic aplastic anemia in a patient going through hemodialysis and we just report it with documentary records. 저자들은 혈액 투석 중인 환자에서 약물, 면역계 이상등의 원인을 발견할 수 없었음에도 재생 불량성 빈혈이 발생한 1예를 경험하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background/Aims: Accumulating data suggest that vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, comprehensive data are lacking for Koreans. The aim of this study was to survey vitamin D deficiency among patients with CKD in Korea and to identify the relationships among various factors. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 444 patients who were divided into four subgroups by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for comparisons of mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level and other parameters. In addition, non-dialyzed patients were categorized into four groups based on 25(OH)D levels (<10, 10-19, 20-29, and ≥ 30 ng/mL), and risk factors for severe vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/mL) were investigated. Results: Of patients with an eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, 43% (34/79) showed severe 25(OH)D deficiency, and the mean 25(OH)D level was 11.7±5.3 ng/mL. In CKD3 group, 53.2% (41/77) showed severe 25(OH)D deficiency, with a mean level of 11.3±7.2 ng/mL. In CKD4 group, 53.3% (49/92) had severe 25(OH)D deficiency, with a mean level of 11.0±6.2 ng/mL. Approximately 71% (139/196) of patients in CKD5 group showed severe deficiency, and the mean level was 9.2±5.9 ng/mL. Severe 25(OH)D deficiency was affected by winter season, renal function, diabetes, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The serum parathyroid hormone level was inversely correlated with the 25(OH)D level, such that 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL were associated with a steep increase in parathyroid hormone. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in the Korean population. Few patients met a sufficient 25(OH)D concentration, even in the early stages of CKD. Our data suggest that 25(OH)D level of 20 ng/mL is a threshold for a rapid increase in parathyroid hormone levels. (Korean J Med 2012;83:740-751)

Glutaredoxin (Grx) is a 12-kDa thioltransoferase that reduces disulfide bonds of other proteins and maintains the redox potential of cells. In addition to its oxidoreductase activity, we report here that a rice Grx(OsGrx) can also function as a GSH-dependent peroxidase. Because of this antioxidant activity, OsGrx protects glutamine synthetase from oxidative damage. Individually replacing the conserved Cys residues in OsGrx with Ser shows that Cys^(23), but not Cys^(26), is essential for the thioltransferase and GSH-de-pendent peroxidase activities. Kinetic Characterization of OsGrx reveals that the maximal catalytic efficiency (V_(max)/K_(m))is obtained with cumene hydroperoxide rather than H_(2)O_(2) or t-butyl hydroperoxide.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a distinct variant of ordinary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is very rare in the Orient. Contrary to ordinary HCC, the FLHCC has very good prognosis and usually occurs in adolescents and young adults without sexual preference. In addition, it is rarely associated with liver cirrhosis and hepatitis B virus. The FLHCC presents a high resectability rate. Most cases of FLHCC have been reported in the Western countries and only nine cases have been reported in the Orient. We present here a case of FLHCC observed in a 48 year old man. The patient had no subjective symptoms when the tumor was revealed by ultrasonography. The patient had many ch'arateristics of FLHCC (i.e,, no association with HBV or HCV, normal range of alphafetoprotein, no evidence of cirrhosis). However, he was older than average-aged patient with FLHCC. The tumor was removed by right antero-inferior segmententomy of the liver and diagnosed as FLHCC. To our knowledge, this report is the fast case in Korea.
