To diagnose acute myocardial infarction(MI), many cardiac markers have been used in hematologic and biochemical analysis, and many studies have been published for hema-tologic and biochemical analysis associated with human acute MI. However, after occurrence of acute MI, the serial investigation for values in hematologic and bioche-mical analysis including chronic MI has rarely been performed. To observe the change of the serial values in hematologic and biochemical analysis, we induced artificial MI. The left main descending artery(LMDA) of the left coronary artery was ligated during the progression(day 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30) of MI. Total 66 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the sham group(n=24, thoracotomy without LMDA ligation) and the experimental(MI) group(n=42, with LMDA ligation). And all individual in each group was sacrified at day 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30 for the hematologic and biochemical analysis. In comparison of hematologic analysis between the sham and MI groups, the mean values of red blood cell(RBCs), hemoglobin and hematocrit(HCT) showed a steady increase. In biochemical analysis, the mean values of glucose, choles-terol, total creatine kinase(CK) and isoenzyme MB, and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) were increased in all MI groups compared with the sham groups. The results of this study suggest that early hematologic and biochemical mean values occurred after acute MI are similar to those of human acute MI. In conclusion, we could observe the alterations and serial values in hematologic and biochemical analysis to the extent of chronic status after acute MI.

N/A Background: Magnetocardiogram (MCG), which records the changes of magnetic fields generated by the heart`s electrical activity, theoritically can provide unique data for clinical application. To date, MCG has been investigated only at a single time point after myocardial infarction (MI) with severe left ventricular dysfunction in rats. The purpose of the present study was to investigate sequential changes of MCG after MI and to evaluate effects of infarct size on MCG. Methods: Acute MI were induced by the permanent ligation of left coronary artery in 22 rats. Magnetic fields were recorded just above a rat with Nb Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) gradiometer inside a magnetically shielded room. MCG was measured before and immediately after surgery and it was subsequently recorded at the time points of 1, 4 and 6 hours post operatively. MCG was also measured at 1, 3, 7 and 21 days after surgery. Results: Elevation of ST segment and appearance of pathological Q wave on the MCG were evident immediately after the ligation of coronary artery and persisted to 6 hours after MI. On MCG, ST segment was depressed and T wave was inverted from 1 day after MI. In rats with small-and moderate- sized MI (infarct size〈30%), ST depression returned to near the isoelectric level and Q wave disappeared from 7 days after MI. However, ST depression and Q wave were still present in rats with larger infarct (infarct size≥30%). Conclusion: Evolutional changes of MCG were well-recognized up to 21 days after MI. Furthermore, the infarct size can be expressed by the extent of Q wave and ST segment depression on MCG. Taken together, these data indicate that MCG is a helpful modality for the diagnosis, evaluation of infarct size and follow up after MI.(Korean J Med 62:42-48, 2002)

Effects of sperm insemination on the final meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes arrested at metaphase I after in vitro maturation

Yoon, Jeong,Juhn, Kyoung-Mi,Yoon, San-Hyun,Ko, Yong,Lim, Jin-Ho The Korean Society for Reproductive Medicine 2017 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.44 No.1

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate whether fertilization could induce the resumption of meiosis in mouse oocytes arrested at metaphase I (MI) after in vitro maturation (IVM), and to investigate the effect of $Ca^{2+}$ chelator treatment at the time of fertilization on the transition from MI to metaphase II (MII). Methods: MII-stage and arrested MI-stage mouse oocytes after IVM were fertilized, and then embryonic development was monitored. Blastocysts from each group were transferred into 2.5 days post-coitum pseudo-pregnant ICR mice. MI oocytes after IVM were treated with a $Ca^{2+}$ chelator to investigate the effect of $Ca^{2+}$ oscillations on their maturation. Results: As insemination time increased, the number of oocytes in the MI group that reached the MII stage also increased. The blastocyst rates and total cell numbers in the MII group were significantly higher than in the MI group. No pregnancy occurred in the MI group, but 10 pregnancies were achieved (10 of 12) in the MII group. The proportion of MI oocytes that matured to MII oocytes after fertilization was significantly higher in the non-treated group than in the $Ca^{2+}$ chelator-treated group. Conclusion: The findings that a higher proportion of MI-arrested oocytes progressed to MII after fertilization and that the MI-to-MII transition was blocked by $Ca^{2+}$ chelator treatments before fertilization indicate that the maturation of MI oocytes to MII oocytes is associated with intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ oscillations driven by fertilization.

Transcriptional activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by HDAC4 and HDAC5 involves differential recruitment of p300 and FIH-1

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>The interplay between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and histone deacetylase (HDACs) have been well studied; however, the mechanism of cross-talk is unclear. Here, we investigated the roles of HDAC4 and HDAC5 in the regulation of HIF-1α function and its associated mechanisms. HDAC4 and HDAC5 enhanced transactivation by HIF-1α without stabilizing HIF-1α. HDAC4 and HDAC5 physically associated with HIF-1α through the inhibitory domain (ID) that is the binding site for factor inhibiting HIF-1 (FIH-1). In the presence of these HDACs, binding of HIF-1α to FIH-1 decreased, whereas binding to p300 increased. These results indicate that HDAC4 and HDAC5 increase the transactivation function of HIF-1α by promoting dissociation of HIF-1α from FIH-1 and association with p300.</P><P><B>Structured summary:</B></P><P>MINT-6802187:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>FIH1</I> (uniprotkb:Q9NWT6) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-6802058:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC4</I> (uniprotkb:P56524) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-6802021:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q61221) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC4</I> (uniprotkb:P56524) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-6802036:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q61221) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC5</I> (uniprotkb:Q9UQL6) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-6802102:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC5</I> (uniprotkb:Q9UQL6) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-6802121, MINT-6802156:</P><P><I>P300</I> (uniprotkb:Q09472) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P>

Histone deacetylase 3 is selectively involved in L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This is the first report that L(3)mbt-like 2 (L3MBTL2) specifically interacts with the histone deacetylase domain of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) via its MBT domain. Here, we show that L3MBTL2 selectively interacts with HDAC3, but not other class I HDACs. An in vitro peptide-binding assay demonstrated the specific association of HDAC3 with methylated histone-K20 tail and L3MBTL2. Furthermore, depletion of HDAC3 resulted in a decrease of methylated K20-H4, as well as an increase in acetylated histone H3. Consequently, HDAC3 knock-down selectively suppressed L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression. Taken together, our results reveal the concerted action of both HDAC3 and L3MBTL2 in histone deacetylation and methylation-dependent transcriptional repression.</P><P><B>Structured summary</B></P><P>MINT-7719975: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) and <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>colocalize</I> (MI:0403) by <I>fluorescence microscopy</I> (MI:0416)</P><P>MINT-7719941, MINT-7719921: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>binds</I> (MI:0407) to <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-7719991: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-7719958: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>anti tag coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0007)</P><P>MINT-7719897: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>two hybrid</I> (MI:0018)</P>

목적 : 한강성심병원에서는 2000년 3월 반코마이신내성 장구균이 처음 분리되어, 원내전파를 막기 위한 노력을 하였으나, 분리가 지속되었다. 따라서 이에 대한 좀더 자세하고 객관적인 자료를 얻기 위해 본원에서 분리된 반코마이신내성 장구균에 대한 임상분자 역학적 연구를 시행하게 되었다. 방법 : 2000년 3월부터 2001년 2월까지 한림대학교 한강성심병원에서 분리된 장구균을 대상으로 디스크 확산법, 최소발육억제 농도등의 측정을 통해 반코마이신 내성여부를 확인하였으며, 반코마이신내성 장구균을 대상으로 PFGE를 시행하여 형별 분석을 하였다. 결과 : 분리된 균주는 총 32균주로 모두 E. faecium이었다. 항생제 내성 검사 결과 모두 Van A형이었다. PFGE 결과 1a형이 8검체, 1b형이 5검체, 2a형이 4검체, 2b형이 4검체, 3a형이 2검체, 3b형이 5검체였고, 그 외 4, 5, 6형이 각각 1검체씩이었다. 총 32균주 중 56%(18/32)의 균주가 같은 시기, 같은 병실에서 동일한 PFGE 형을 보이면서 분리되었다. 결론 : 반코마이신내성 장구균의 PFGE 분석 결과 여러 종류의 반코마이신내성 장구균이 유행하였음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 같은 기간, 같은 병실에서 분리된 균주의 PFGE 형이 같은 것이 상당수 있었다. 이는 반코마이신내성 장구균의 원내 전파가 있었음을 의미한다. 따라서 반코마이신내성 장구균의 전파의 발생 및 전파 방지를 위해서는 보다 효과적인 감염관리 활동이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Background: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci(VRE) have been a rising problem worldwide. In March 2000, VRE was first isolated from a patient in Hangang Sacred Heart hospital. Although efforts to prevent transmission of VRE were performed, isolations continued. So molecular epidemiological study of VRE was done. Method : The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) to vancomycin and teicoplanin, and pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) pattern of VRE isolated from March 2000 to February 2001 were evaluated. Results : 32 VRE were isolated. All of the VRE were Enterococcus faecium and showed Van A resistance phenotype. We found out that a significant number of VRE isolated during same period and in same room, were same PFGE patterns. (18 cases/ 32 isolates= 56%) Conclusion: This study demonstrated the spread of VRE of same PFGE patterns. It suggests the nosocomial spreads of VRE.

한국전쟁기 김말봉의 『별들의 故鄕』 연구

최미진(Choi Mi­Jin),김정자(Kim Jeong­Ja) 한국문학회 2005 韓國文學論叢 Vol.39 No.-

This paper takes a close look at Kim, Mal-bong's Hometown of Stars released during the Korean War period, in order to relate the writer's literary characteristics seen after the liberation from the Japanese colonial rule to the characteristics in social melodrama. Hometown of Stars adopts the formula of social melodrama that gives its unique double effect by combining basic plot of love stories among characters with social and historical events as a background. First, in the Hometown of Stars, the Licensed Prostitution Abolition Movement after the Liberalization plays a role in diversifying love relationship among characters and gives an opportunity for self-reflection. In particular, the Movement is used to highlight the changing social views of the characters. The writer indirectly sheds light on the inhumane treatment of prostitutes and the problems of residual values of the feudalistic way of thinking based on the class system. However, his intention to put the behind story of social and historical facts into a realistic context, rather than to investigate the Movement in itself helps intensify the pleasure to read this novel. Next, the social and historical background of the Korean War serves as a vehicle to provide plausibility to the plot and to raise readers' awareness of the reality through the hidden fact of history. The writer's views that the government's misinformation at the time of the Korean War helped increase people's casualties are represented in a natural fashion through characters' behaviors, evoking a sense of reality on the historical facts from readers. Moreover, the War, which serves as a defining moment in dramatizing love conflicts of the characters, boosts the interest in reading the story. The writer sets the Korean War as a turning point to convert the ideological confrontation after the Liberalization to the punitive confrontation structure in which virtue is rewarded and vice is punished. The ending of Hometown of Stars shows both melodramatic limit and social melodramatic characteristics that go beyond the limit, because the clash between the prevailing ideology and the moral faith forms the typical punitive confrontation structure, while transcending the formula to reach the universal value of humanity, especially religious ethics. The writer is not swayed by conventions or ideology and he uses “star” as a metaphor of human and spirit, hoping that they can be reborn in the “hometown”, the source of new hope. In this symbolic fashion, he suggests a “wise” way to overcome wartime confusion to readers. The formula of social melodrama in Hometown of Stars not only provides pleasure of reading popular novels, but also puts social and historical facts into a realistic context and deals a measurable blow to covered historical facts and ignored social thinking frame. In that sense, Kim, Mal-bong could succeed in strengthening literature's impact by the means of social melodrama that contains popular and social elements at the same time. This is related to his direct involvement and hard work in abolishing the Licensed Prostitution System after the Liberation. It is also notable that the Licensed Prostitution Abolition Movement is a main theme in Hometown of Stars, as well as in his other works after the Liberation, such as Splendid Hell, Blue Wings and Life.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the features of the finishing material according to their type and color. The purpose of this in order is to improve the pleasantness of the interior, by using the proper finishing materials, in planning the interior, and to apply it to framing the prediction model for practical use in interior design, This stud was conducted by evaluating experiment manufactured with the CG(Computer Graphics). The process of the study is as follows, 1) The finishing materials used in the interior based on the previous study was classified. The color range of the selected finishing materials was examined. 2) The evaluation experiment using the CG was conducted on the basis of the selected finishing materials. 3) With that result, the evaluation properties was analyzed according to evaluating variables(that is, the finishing material, hue, value, and chroma) for the interior image. 4) Finally, the prediction model of the interior finishing materials was framed with the image type. Through the Factor Analysis of 19 Adjectives, 8 representative image types such as 「Open·Bright」, 「Gorgeous·Strong」, 「Quiet·Natural」, 「Smooth·Elaborate」, 「Coarse·Rough」, 「Elegant·Refined, 「Warm」」 and 「Cool」 were extracted. The prediction model was framed for the 8 representative image types. The 「Open·Bright」, 「Quiet·Natural」, 「Cool」images are as follows, 1) When you want to produce the 「Open·Bright」image, it is ideal to use wallpaper as finishing material and Y or B in hues. The higher the value and middle chroma you use. The bigger 「Open·Bright」 the efficiency you achieve. 2) When you want to produce the 「Quiet·Natural」 image, it is good to use woods for finishing materials, You can get a better image with the YR or R in hues, with higher value and lower chroma. 3) When you want to produce the 「Cool」image, it is better to use stones for finishing materials. Cool colors and the hue of B, PB, BG are recommended. The lower value and chroma are effective as well.
