Background p19arf, primarily known as a tumor suppressor, has also been reported to play an essential role in normal development of mouse eyes. Consistently, lack of p19arf has been associated with ocular defects, but the mixed background of the knockout (KO) mouse strain used raised a concern on the accuracy of the phenotypes observed in association with the targeted gene due to genetic heterogeneity. Object We carried out a study to investigate into the efect of genetic background on the manifestation of p19arf KO associated phenotypes. Methods We characterized the phenotypes of novel p19arf KO mouse lines generated in FVB/N and C57BL/6J using a transcription activator-like efector nuclease (TALEN) system in comparison to the reported phenotypes of three other p19arf-defcient mouse lines generated using homologous recombination. Results Ninety-fve percent of FVB/N-p19arf KO mice showed ocular opacity from week 4 after birth which worsened rapidly until week 6, while such abnormality was absent in C57BL/6J-p19arf KO mice up to the age of 26 weeks. Histopathological analysis revealed retrolental masses and dysplasia in the retinal layer in FVB/N-p19arf KO mice from week 4. Besides these, both strains developed normally from birth to week 26 without increased tumorigenesis except for a subcutaneous tumor found in a C57BL/6J-p19arf KO mouse. Conclusion Our fndings demonstrated surprisingly variable manifestation of p19arf-linked phenotypes between FVB/N and C57BL/6J mice, and furthermore between our mouse lines and the established lines, indicating a critical impact of genetic background on functional study of genes using gene targeting strategies in mice.

In this paper, we report some sorts of result obtained by investigating the exhibits which had been submitted for "The National Exhibition of Science"and "The Science Exhibition for the Students of Cheju-do"during the last ten years and by putting the questions to the science teacher of the teacher of the middle and high schools in Cheju-do. Up to the half number the exhibits are occupied by the field of physics and biology. Almost the exhibits (above 90%) have the contents related to those of the current curriculum. However, 30.2% of the respondents only believe that their students may put the exhibits to practical use in learning. Many respondents replied that they could have not participated in the exhibition of science because they were in heavy duty and the fiscal support were not only so limited but also not sufficient enough to make an excellent work.

박철영,류미숙,우정택,김성운,김진우,김영설,안규정 대한당뇨병학회 2002 임상당뇨병 Vol.3 No.2

연구배경: 당뇨병 환자에서 엄격한 혈당조절은 환자의 예후와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 혈당조절을 철저히 하기 위해서는 자가 혈당 측정기의 사용이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 또한 저혈당이 빈번하게 발생하거나, 위험요소가 있는 환자들에게도 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 전기화학감지법의 원리를 이용하여 국내에서 처음 생산된 자가혈당측정기인 GlucoDr™ blood Glucose Testing System(ALL Medicus, Co, Korea)를 현재 국내에서 시판되고 있는 다른 제품과 비교, 평가하여 임상적 유용성을 살펴보고자 하였다 방법: 혈당측정기준장비는 YSI 2300 STAT Plus(YSI Incorporated, USA)를 사용하였으며 GlucoDr™외에 Glucocard(KDK, Japan), Precision QID(Abbott Laboratories, Co, USA), Glucotrend(Roche, USA), Surestep(Lifescan, USA)의 다른 혈당측정기를 같이 평가하였다. 정밀도, 직선성, 비교방법과의 상관관계 평가, 검체량에 따른 영향, 헤마토크리트에 따른 영향, 검사자에 따른 영향, 항응고제에 따른 영향들을 평가하였다. 결과: 본 연구에서의 주된 평가대상인 GlucoDr™의 평가결과, 정밀도를 나타내는 검사 내, 검사 간 변이계수는 8%이내였으며, 45~500mg/dL 범위에서 R²=0.9906, 0.9984 정도의 직선성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에 있어 비교방법으로 이용한 YSI 2300 STAT Plus와의 상관관계 및 정확도는 y = 1.0058x + 0.453, R = 0.9853인 것으로 나타났다. 검체량이나 검사자 및 항응고제에 따른 측정값에는 유의할만한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 헤마토크리트가 증가 또는 감소함에 따라 최소 10%에서 최대 26% 가량의 영향을 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 결론: GlucoDrTM는 국내 사용되는 다른 혈당측정기와 비교하여 유용할 것으로 생각된다. Background: Self-monitoing blood glucose devices are sidely used in monitoring and point-of-care testing for the management of diabetic patients. We performed the present study to evaluate the performance of the GlucoDr™ blood glucose testing system using an electrochemical technique. Method: The GlucoDr™ was evaluated for linearity, precision, comparison of method, the effect of sample volume, hematocrit concentration, reapplication, operator and application methods. Results: The GlucoDr™ showed good linearity for glucose concentrations ranging from 52mg/dl to 475mg/dl(r²=0.971). The single day, and day-to-day, CV were within 8%. Excellent correlation was found between the GlucoDr™ and YSI 2300 STAT Plus(y=1.0058x + 0.453, r²=0.9710). The sample volume, reapplication, operator and application method produced no significant effect on the test result. An overestimation in the glucose values was found with low hematocrit concentrations. There was no significant effect by the anticoagulants, with the exception of citrate. Conclusion: The GlucoDr™ showed good linearity, precision and correlation with the reference method and provided rapid and reliable result for blood glucose levels. Therefore, the GlucoDr™ seems appropriate for clinical use in the management of diabetic patients.

연구배경: 당뇨병성 신경병증은 당뇨병 환자에서 흔히 나타나는 합병증으로서 임상 증상은 가볍거나 없을 수도 있지만 많은 경우에 통증, 작열감, 이감각증이나 무감각증 등의 증상을 동반하지만, 이에 대한 명확한 기전이나 뚜렷한 치료방법이 없었다. 최근에 신경세포내 산화성 스트레스의 증가로 신경세포의 손상이 발생된다는 기전이 주목을 받으면서, 당뇨병성 신경병증 환자에게 항산화제인 thiotic acid를 사용하여 좋은 효과를 관찰한 논문들이 발표되었다. 이에 저자들은 한국의 당뇨병성 다발성 신경병증 환자에서 thiotic acid를 경구 투여 후에 신경병증에 의한 효과 및 안정성을 평가하였다. 방법: 모든 대상 환자에게 Thioctic acid 600㎎ 을 1일 1회 아침 식전 30분에 8주간 투여하여 당뇨병성 다발성 신경병증에 대한 TSS의 개선여부에 대한 임상적 유효성 및 이상반응, 내약성, 실험실적 지표의 변화를 통한 안정성을 관찰하였다. 결과: 치료시작 전에 관찰한 환자가 호소하는 증상은 통증이 가장 많았으며 무감각, 작열감, 이상감각 순의 빈도를 보였다. 통증, 작열감, 이감각증, 무감각증의 평균 TSS는 1차 방문시 5.8± 1.8, 2차방문시는 4.4±1.7, 3차 방문시는 3.1±1.1로 사용기판에 따라 통계학적으로 유의한 증상의 호전이 있었다. 또한 TSS의 개선 뿐만 아니라 통증, 작열감, 이감각증 및 무감각증 각각의 증상도 치료전과 치료 4주 후 및 치료 8주 후를 비교했을 때 통계학적으로 유의한 증상의 호전이 있었다. TSS가 1차 방문 시와 비교했을 때 3차 방문시에 30% 이상 개선되었을 때(1차 방문시에 TSS 4인 환자는 2점 이상 개선되었을때) 임상적으로 의미가 있는 반응으로 간주하고 계산한 반응률은 71.3%였다. 결론: 당뇨병성 다발성 신경병중 환자에 대해 항 산화제인 thioctic acid 600㎎ 경구 투여요법은 당뇨병성 신경병증의 증상완화에 유용하며, 안전한 것으로 사료된다. Background: The study was peformed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral treatment with the antioxidant α-lipoic acid (Thioctcid??) in diabetic patients with peripheral polyneuropathy. Methods: Thioctacid?? 600㎎ was orally administered once a day for 8 weeks in 61 diabetic patients with peripheral polyneuropathy. Neuropathic symptom(pain, burning, paresthesia, and numbness) were scored before, and of 4 and 8 weeks after treatment. In addition, neuropathy by the physician and patients at the end of treatment. The primary endpoint was the response role after 8 weeks treatment, defined as an improvement in the total symptom score of at least more than 30%. Results: Efficacy was evaluated among forty-four patients who had completely the study according to the protocol and safety was evaluated among all of 61 patients who had taken the study medication. The response rate after 8 weeks was 77.3%. The total symptom score was significantly decreased of 4-week, and further decreased of 8-week. All the individual scores for neuropathic symptom were also significantly reduced of 4-week and further decreased at 8-week. Conclusion: These finding indicate that oral treatment with thioctacid?? at a dose of 600㎎/day for 8 weeks will improve peripheral polyneuropathy in diabetic patients, without causing any serious adverse events.

Park,Yong-Jin,Cho,Gyu-Taek,Ma,Kyung-Ho,Lee,Sok-Young,Lee,Jung-Ro,Kim,Young-Chang,Cho,Eun-Gi,Kim Chang-Yung,Nam,Jung-Hyun,Rao,V,Ramanatha,Kang,Hee-Kyoung 한국자원식물학회 2004 Plant Resources Vol.7 No.2

Genetic background and phylogenetic relationships among 20 Korean wheat cultivars were assessed using microsatellites after amplifying with 13 SSR primer pairs. Average allele number per primer pair was 3.36. Genetic similarities for every pair of cultivars ranged from 0.42 to 0.97, with 0.69 of overall average. Korean cultivars were divided into two major groups based on microsatellite DNA polymorphisms. Group I consisted of relatively old cultivars developed until 1970s, and group II contained the recent cultivars developed during 1980s and 1990s. Amongst old elite cultivars/lines, ‘Yukseung 3’, ‘Norin 12’ and ‘Norin 72’ contributed most to the genetic background of cultivars belonging to group I, and ‘Norin 4’, ‘Norin 12’, ‘Norin 43’ and ‘Norin 72’ to group II, respectively. The phylogenetic relationship of Korean wheat cultivars was in accordance with the genealogical data of each cultivar. The genetic background of each cultivar was assessed from the point of breeding and germplasm management such as variety identification and duplicated accessions for assisting in developing a system for the registration of new variety based on the molecular characterization in future.

For the superior properties of mechanical and thermal aging, this investigation was carried out to develop the recycled of waste tire using various binders (Olefin, SBR Rubber, Polyurethane) for the reuse of the waste tire. In the experimental results show that the mechanical and the thermal aging properties of the composites decreased steadily with increasing content of the waste rubber. We obtained the excellent mechanical and thermal properties when the SBR which is a rubber adhesive was used. Because that total pore area was largen, interfacial adhesive force was weaken. And as the binder was dispersed in waste rubber, the mechanical and thermal aging properties were superior. This result was observed the same phenomena with morphologically.

Breast cancer in women pose a problem, and it can be difficult at times to evaluate the possibility of the cancer recurrence in node negative early cancer. The reliable prognostic markers are needed in breast cancer management to help clinicians identify the patient with the high risk of recurrence and arrive at more rational decisions for proper treatment. In order to investigate the prognostic significance of bcl-2, an immunohis-tochemical staining was performed in 35 tissue sections from paraffin blocks of primary breast cancer. Bcl-2 positivity was 43%. No relation could be observed between bcl-2 expression and known prognostic factors(tumor size, lymph node metastasis state, histologic grade, and nuclear grade), There was strong relation between bcl-2 expression and estrogen receptor positivity (ER) (P〈0.05). No relation is found between bcl-2 expression and c - erbB - 2 expression. These results suggest that bcl-2 expression is associated with a favorable prognostic factor(ER) but it is of no value as independent prognostic factor to the clinician in identifying the patients with high risk of recurrence.

김진택,박인식,안상현 동국대학교 한의학연구소 1997 東國韓醫學硏究所論文集 Vol.6 No.1

특정 외부항원에 노출됨으로써 생기는 피부에서의 지연형 면역과민반응을 형태학적으로 조사하기 위해서 시행된 본 실험은 DNCB에 의해 인위적인 알러지성 접촉피부염을 유발시킨 후 시간의 경과에 따른 피부의 일반적인 형태, 비만세포의 변화, IL-2 receptor의 변화를 관찰하였다. DNCB 2차감작 후 실시된 contact hypersensivity assay 결과 대조군에 비해 DNCB 처리군에서는 ear swelling이 점점 증가하여 48시간에 가장 높게 측정 되었다. 피부 조직의 일반적인 형태변화도 DNCB접종 후 48시간에서 가장 심한 피부손상의 양상을 보였는데, 진피에서 림프구 aggregation의 증가, 혈관직경의 증가, 표피로의 림프구 infiltration 증가가 일어났다. Semithin section을 통해 관찰된 DNCB 처리군의 미세구조의 변화는 표피세포질내 액포화의 증가와 세포사이공간의 확장이었다. 진피에서 비만세포 수가 중가되었으며, 그 형태는 분배과립을 함유하고 있는 degranulated type으로 나타났다. 피부 진피에서 IL-2 receptor 양성반응세포수가 증가되었으며, 표피로 infltration된 IL-2 receptor 양성반웅세포가 48시간에서 가장 많이 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 DNCB 감작에 의해 세포성 면역과민반응이 일어나며, 이후 면역관여세포들의 복합적인 작용에 의해 급격한 염증반응이 일어나게 된다. Abdominal skin tissues of ICR mouse painted with Dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB) were observed to investigate the delayed type hypersensitivity of skin by chemical allergen as hapten. The abdominal skin tissues were obtained at hour-48 after secondary DNCB sensitization that were stained by Luna's method for mast cell, and immunohistochemical stain method for IL-2 receptor. The superficial perivascular lymphocytic aggregation were shown in basement membrane after DNCB secondary painting and the large size capillaries in dermis were appeared. The infiltration of lymphocyte to epithelium, the vacuolation of epithelial cell and intercellular space were increased. The number of mast cell in dermis was increased and these shape is degranulation type. The number of IL-2 receptor positive cell was increased in dermis. As results indicated that the hypersensitivy of immune system were induced by DNCB, subsequently to damage evoke inflammation in skin.
