이호경,유진형,구본술 인제대학교 1983 仁濟醫學 Vol.4 No.3

복강내 메탄올 주입으로 급성 메탄올 중독을 일으킨 쥐와 메탄올 주입 직후, 8시간 후 및 24시간 후에 에탄올을 투여한 쥐의 망막 미세구조를 관찰하여, 메탄올 주입 직후와 8시간 후에 에탄올을 투여한 쥐에서 메탄올에 의한 망막 조직 파괴가 경감되었음을 관찰하였다. Methanol is a widely-used chemical which can cause serious visual loss by accidental ingestion, and ethanol therapy has been considered effective in maintaining life as well as preserving vision, if performed appropriately. To provide histopathologic basis of ethanol therapy in acute methanol poisoning, which is still obscure, methanol was injected intraperitoneally to the rat and ethanol therapy was carried out immediately after, 8 hours after, and 24 hours after methanol injection. One month later, specimens of retina were obtained and examined using electron microscope, comparing with only methanol-injected case. The results were as follows. 1.Ultrastructural examination of retina of the only methanol·injected rat revealed such histologic changes as retinal ganglion cell degeneration, vacuole formation in nerve fiber layer, photoreceptor outer segment destruction, and separation of inter-pigment epithelial junction, which are compatible with clinically observed visual deterioration. 2.Retinal changes were much reduced in the rat which had received ethanol therapy immediately after methanol injection, but the reduction was not conspicuous in the 8 hour-interval ethanol treated rat. No differences were found between only methanol-injected rat and 24 hour-interval ethanol-treated case.

이제호,구본경,이종갑 大韓小兒齒科學會 2000 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.27 No.1

치수 생활력 검사시 전통적인 방법으로 전기치수검사나 온도변화검사 등이 있다. EPT와 ice test 즉, 전기치수검사와 온도변화검사는 치아의 신경학적 반응에 의해 치아의 실활여부를 판단하는 방법으로 환자가 아동일 때는 정확한 반응을 얻기가 어렵고, 환자의 주관적 반응을 판단해야 하므로 객관적이지 못하고, 소아환자에게 좋지 못한 자극을 주어 행동 조절의 문제를 일으키며, 거짓 양성반응과 거짓 음성반응이 나올 수 있다는 등의 한계가 있다. 최근에는 전통적인 방법의 한계를 극복하려는 시도에서 혈관의 보전성을 평가하는 방법인 laser doppler flowmetry와 pulse oximeter를 이용하는 방법이 소개되고 있다. Pulse oximeter의 원리는 두 가지 종류의 파장의 빛을 귀, 손가락 등 생체의 말단에 투과시켜 발산된 빛과 감지된 빛간의 두 파장의 흡수비로 산소포화 정도를 알아내는 것으로서 이에 착안하여 또 하나의 생체 말단인 치아에 이를 적용하여 치아의 실활 여부를 판단하는 것이다. 이 보고에서는 치수 생활력 검사시 pulse oximeter의 사용 가능성에 대해 검증하고 이의 임상적용에 대해 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 함을 목적으로 했는데 생활치에서는 평균 96.3%의 산소 포화도를 실활치에서는 평균 0.0%의 산소 포화도를 얻어냄으로서 pulse oximeter가 치아의 실활여부 판단에 있어 유용한 진단도구로서의 가치가 있다는 것이 밝혀졌다. Traditionally, EPT and thermal tests were used as diagnostic methods for pulp vitality test. The thermal and electrical stimulation tests are the methods to determine the vitality of a tooth based on its neuronal response. These have certain limitations, one of them is the difficulty of approaching the correct result in case of treatment of children. The reason is management problem caused by the unpleasant stimulation. Also, the response from patients are not objective, and false positive or false negative could be happened. Recently, laser doppler flowmetry and pulse oximeter which evaluate vascular integrity are introduced-in an effort of overcoming to limitation of traditional methods. The principle of pulse oximeter is to find out level of oxygen saturation by ratio of the two pulses between emitted light and detected light penetrating them to the termination of body, such as ears or fingers. From this point of view, it can be applied to a tooth to determine its vitality. The objective of this study lies mainly on varifying pulse oximeter as a method of determining tooth vitality and providing basic data of its clinical implementation. The result of the research showed that level of oxygen saturation in vital teeth was average of 96.3% and 0.0% in pulpless teeth. As a comprehensive result, pulse oximeter could be an useful diagnostic equipment in determining of tooth vitality.

홍주봉,이상익,신철진,김헌,지경환,정인원 大韓神經精神醫學會 2001 신경정신의학 Vol.40 No.4

연구목적 : 알코올 의존 환자에서 세로토닌 합성 조절 효소인 tryptophan hydroxylase(TPH) 유전자 다형성 빈도를 정상 대조군과 비교함으로써 알코올 의존의 유전적 요인을 추적하고, 임상변인과 이 유전자 다형성과의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : DSM-IV진단기준에 부합되는 알코올 의존 환자 100명과 정상 대조군 100명을 대상으로 TPH유전자 다형성을 증합효소 연쇄반응과 제한효소 처리법을 이용하여 동정하였다. 여기서 분리된 대립 유전자와 유전자형에 따른 빈도의 차이를 서로 비교하였으며, 알코올 의존 환자군의 여러 임상 변인에 따른 차이를 비교하였다. 결 과 : 알코올 의존 환자군과 대조군 간에 TPH의 A216C 유전자형 및 대립유전자 빈도에서의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았으나, 조기 발병한 환자의 경우는 유전자형의 빈도가 AA,AC,CC형이 0.57, 0.39, 0.04, 후기 발병한 환자의 경우 0.34, 0.45, -.21로, 조기 발병한 환자군에서 대조군과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의하게 A 대립 유전자의 빈도가 높은 것이 관찰되었다.(by chi-square test, p<0.05). 결 론 : 이는 조기 발병형 알코올 의존의 경우 TPH유전자 다형성과 관련이 있으며, 일부 알코올 의존 환자에서 유전적으로 세로토닌계의 이상이 있다는 사실을 시사한다. Objectives : This study was performed to explore the association of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) gene with diagnosis of alcohol dependence and/or clinical characteristics such as age of onset, family history, and severity of symptoms in Korean alcoholics. Methods : The genotype and allele frequencies of TPH in 100 male hospitalized patients who met DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence were investigated using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length plymorphism and were compared with 100 age-matched healthy male control subjects. And the associations between gene polymorphisms and clinical characteristics in alcoholic patients were explored. Results : The distributions of TPH genotype and allele in alcohol dependent patients were not different from control subjects. However, the frequencies of TPH genotype in early-onset alcoholic patients, which were 0.57, 0.39, and 0.04(AA, AC and CC, respectively), were significantly different from those of late-onset alcoholics(0.34, 0.45, and 0.21, respectively). "A" allele was found more frequent in early-onset alcoholics. Conclusion : The result suggests that TPH gene polymorphism is associated with early-onset alcioholic patients possibly related with inherited abnormalities of serotonin system.

The true heartache is a condition of severe heartache corresponding to angina pectoris, as recorded from Hwang Jae Nai Kyung. According to the literatural study of true heartache, some results can be acquired, such as follows. 1. The site of the true Heartache, can be divided into two categories, first, its superficial and conscious area is the chest as same as the other heartache. But its inner lesion is the Heart-Meridian as others occupied at the Pericardium-Meridian in stead of the Heart-Meridian. 2. The etiological classification of true heartache, are Cold-evil, Heat-evil, Wind-evil, Blood stasis etc. But its major factor is Cold-evil, more than anything else. 3. The symptomatic signs of true heartache, consist of cyanotic change from hands and feet to phalanges; severe heartache pale complexion with cold breathing and its extreme state can manifestate unceased sweating called as Yang exhaustion.

Lee, Do-Young,Hyun, Kwan-Hoon,Park, Hyung-Yeon,Lee, Kyung- A.,Lee, Bon-Su,Kim, Chan-Kyung Korean Chemical Society 2006 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.27 No.2

Three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship studies for a series of isatin derivatives as a nonpeptidyl caspase-3 enzyme inhibitor were investigated using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). The first approach of non-peptidyl small molecules by 3D QSAR may be useful in guiding further development of potent caspase-3 inhibitors.

MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AVIAN POXVIRUS IN THE ORIENTAL TURTLE DOVE (<i>STREPTOPELIA ORIENTALIS</i>) AND THE BITING MIDGE (<i>CULICOIDES ARAKAWAE</i>) IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

<P>A total of 600 wild birds were analyzed for the causes of mortality in the Republic of Korea (ROK) from 2011 to 2013. Avian poxvirus (APV) infections were identified as the primary cause of mortality in 39% (29/74) Oriental Turtle Doves (Streptopelia orientalis). At necropsy, all 29 S. orientalis birds, of which, 76% (22/29) were juveniles, had severe diphtheritic lesions in their oral and nasal cavities and on their eyelids, which were the lesions of APV that resulted in mortality. We detected APV infection by chorioallantoic membrane inoculation and molecular study of the partial region of the P4b gene. All isolates belonged to the same APV strain and were identical to strains isolated from several different pigeon species in South Africa. Phylogenetically, the APV strain identified in S. orientalis belonged to subclade A2, which includes isolates from several species of pigeons from different parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Germany, India, Egypt, Hawaii, Georgia, Hungary, South Africa, Tanzania, and the ROK. This identity indicated that this diphtheritic APV strain may be a potential pathogen of other pigeon species in the ROK and neighboring countries throughout the range of S. orientalis. However, reticuloendotheliosis virus insertion into the APV genome was not detected by PCR in any of the 29 APV infections. An identical strain of APV observed in S. orientalis was also detected in Culicoides arakawae (biting midge), with annual peak populations corresponding to the presence of APV in S. orientalis. Culicoides arakawae may be a primary vector of APV in S. orientalis. Active surveillance of APVs in wild birds and C. arakawae is needed to better understand the epidemiology of APVs, host-vector relationships, and its ecological effects on S. orientalis in the ROK.</P>

Theoretical Studies of the Gas-Phase Identity Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of Cyclopentadienyl Halides

Lee, Ik-Choon,Li, Hong-Guang,Kim, Chang-Kon,Lee, Bon-Su,Kim, Chan-Kyung,Lee, Hai-Whang Korean Chemical Society 2003 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.24 No.5

The gas phase identity nucleophilic substitution reactions of halide anions (X = F, Cl, Br) with cyclopentadienyl halides (1) are investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G**, MP2/6-311+G** and G2(+)MP2 levels involving five reaction pathways: σ-attack $S_N2$, β-$S_N$2'-syn, β-$S_N$2'-anti, γ-$S_N$2'-syn and γ-$S_N$2'-anti paths. In addition, the halide exchange reactions at the saturated analogue, cyclopentyl halides (2), and the monohapto circumambulatory halide rearrangements in 1 are also studied at the same three levels of theory. In the σ-attack $S_N2$ transition state for 1 weak positive charge develops in the ring with X = F while negative charge develops with X = Cl and Br leading to a higher energy barrier with X = F but to lower energy barriers with X = Cl and Br than for the corresponding reactions of 2. The π-attack β-$S_N$2' transition states are stabilized by the strong $n_C-{\pi}^{*}_{C=C}$ charge transfer interactions, whereas the π-attack γ-$S_N$2' transition states are stabilized by the strong $n_C-{\sigma}^{*}_{C-X}$ interactions. For all types of reaction paths, the energy barriers are lower with X = F than Cl and Br due to the greater bond energy gain in the partial C-X bond formation with X = F. The β-$S_N$2' paths are favored over the γ-$S_N$2' paths only with X = F and the reverse holds with X = Cl and Br. The σ-attack $S_N2$ reaction provides the lowest energy barrier with X = Cl and Br, but that with X = F is the highest energy barrier path. Activation energies for the circumambulatory rearrangement processes are much higher (by more than 18 kcal $mol^{-1}$) than those for the corresponding $S_N2$ reaction path. Overall the gas-phase halide exchanges are predicted to proceed by the σ-attack $S_N2$ path with X = Cl and Br but by the β-$S_N$2'-anti path with X = F. The barriers to the gas-phase halide exchanges increase in the order X = F < Br < Cl, which is the same as that found for the gas-phase identity methyl transfer reactions.

Potential functional roles of follistatin on bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos

Kyung-Bon Lee,Jae-Seok Woo,Bo-Myoung Lee,Kang-Sun Park,Kil-Woo Han,Min Kyu Kim 충남대학교 농업과학연구소 2013 농업과학연구 Vol.40 No.4

To demonstrate that follistatin treatment enhances the efficiency of nuclear transfer (SCNT), cell allocation and preimplantational development were determined in bovine SCNT embryos in the present study. Treatment of activated SCNT embryos with 10 ng/ml follistatin significantly increased the proportion of blastocyst development compared to untreated SCNT embryos. In addition, an increase in trophectoderm (TE) cell numbers and relatively higher proportion of TE cells to total cells were observed, but the number of inner cell mass (ICM) cell and total cell numbers were not changed (P < 0.05). No significant effect of other doses of follistatin was observed for the above endpoints. However, treatment with 1 and 10 ng/ml follistatin reduced the proportion of nuclear transfer blastocysts with an ICM ratio of > 60% relative to untreated nuclear transfer blastocysts at Day 7. No significant effect of follistatin treatment on proportions of nuclear transfer blastocysts with ICM ratio of 20-40% or 40-60% was observed. Taken together, these results suggested that follistatin can be used to increase developmental competence of SCNT embryos in terms of cell allocation, particularly TE cells, during preimplantation stages, subsequently enhancing placentation and birth of live offspring.
