Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disorder, with a vicious cycle of repetitive inflammation and deterioration of the epidermal barrier function. Adiponectin, an adipokine, has anti-inflammatory effects on various metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Recently, its level was found to be reduced in serum and tissue samples from AD patients. Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of adiponectin on epidermal inflammation and barrier structures in AD skin. Methods: A three-dimensional in vitro epidermal equivalent model mimicking AD was obtained by adding an inflammatory substance cocktail to normal human epidermal equivalents (HEEs). The expression of epidermal differentiation markers, primary inflammatory mediators, and lipid biosynthetic enzymes was compared between adiponectintreated AD-HEEs, untreated control AD-HEEs, and normal HEEs. Results: Adiponectin co-treatment 1) inhibited the increase in mRNA expression of major inflammatory mediators (carbonic anhydrase II, neuron-specific NEL-like protein 2, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and human beta-defensin-2) from keratinocytes in AD-inflammatory HEEs, 2) enhanced the expression of lipid biosynthetic enzymes (fatty acid synthase, HMG CoA reductase, and serine-palmitoyl transferase), and 3) promoted the expression of differentiation factors, especially filaggrin. We also found that the expression of adiponectin receptor-1 and -2 decreased in the epidermis of chronic AD lesion. Conclusion: Activation of the adiponectin pathway is expected to enhance epidermal differentiation and barrier function as well as attenuate inflammatory response to AD as a therapeutic approach.

statistical analysis of bone conduction loss in chronic otitis media has not been exactly reported until now. Authors studied the relationship between the preoperative bone conduction hearing level and age, nature of middle ear and temporal bone pathology, pneumatization of mastoid in 97 ears of chronic uppurative otitis media performed middle ear surgery at Konkuk University Hospital from March 1992 to December 1992. The results were as following: The mean bone conduction threshold was 16.2±12.4dB. In the cases of ossicular defect, bone conduction loss was greater in total destruction than in partial destruction with statistical significance. Among ossicular defect, incus destruction group showed more bone conduction loss than intact incus group with statistical significance. There was no difference of bone conduction loss according to pathologic findings in middle ear cavity and mastoid antrum, but pathologic groups showed more bone conduction loss than control group with normal temporal bone pneumatization with statistical significance. Comparing pneumatization of mastoid antrum and mastoid process, there was statistically significant bone conduction loss in orders of pneumatic type, diploic type, sclerotic type, cholesteatoma cavity. There was no difference of bone conduction hearing level according to age, sex, and duration of disease process with statistical significance. The results suggest that the bone conduction threshold in chronic otitis media is influenced by artificial elevation due to conductive defect and can be improved by reconstructive surgery.Many patients being followed for chronic suppuration of the middle ear were observed to have sensorineural or mixed type hearing loss. The major cause of this bone conduction loss might be secondary to cochlear biochemical changes occuring through the round window membrane. But, clinical and statistical analysis of bone conduction loss in chronic otitis media has not been exactly reported until now.

홍석민,이정아,조정희,김옥경 漢陽大學校 工學技術硏究所 1996 工學技術論文集 Vol.5 No.1

We tried to find optimal condition of (PbxBa1-x)TiO3(x=0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0) thin films produced by sol-gel spin coating. Barium acetate, Lead acetate trihydrate and Ti-isopropoxide are used as the coating sol for producing the thin film, and acetic acid, methanol, and distilled water are used as the solvent. It is found that the manufactured sol was at the most stable condition when the component content satisfied H2O/Ba=65, after observing the state transition for a specified period. We coated sol for coating on the various kinds of substrate and pre-annealed on 68℃ and 460℃. Then we annealed them on 700℃ for 30 minutes and found that they showed a good growth of crystal by the XRD measurement. We selected Pt as the bottom electrode, using the substrate Pt/SiO2/Si in order, we raised the different conditional thin films and obtained the capacitor by evaporating Al as the top electrode. We measured the electric capacitance and dielectric loss by changing the frequency for three step as 1, 10, 100kHz for each and calculated the dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of the thin film (PbxBa1-x)TiO3 was decreased below x=0.8 and increased upto x=1.0 as x increases.

A sputtering target(BaxSr1-xTiO3) is obtained by changing the mol% of Ba and Sr. Pt is evaporated on the SiO2/Si substrate as a bottom electrode, and subsequently the BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin film is sputtered. Or, for obtaining the MIS structure Pt is not used, and directly thin film is sputtered on the Si substrate. Then, the capacitor structures(MIM, MIS) have been obtained by evaporating Al as a top electrode after post-annealing. Our results show that produced thin firm is found to have Perovskite structure according to the XRD measurement and shows better crystal growing phenomena on SiO2/Si substrate than those on Si substrate. And, the existence of polarization is recognized by the hysteresis loop. The capacitor(MIM) structure of BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin film shows that the dielectric constant is increased as the mol% of Ba and the post-annealing temperature increase. MIS structure shows a increase of capacitance with increasing the mol% of Ba.

Acinetobacter species is a non-fermentative aerobic gram-negative coccobacillus that is an important pathogen found in nosocomial infections. Recently, multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) infections have been increasing and pose a serious problem. Most such infections present as bacteremia, pneumonia, or a wound infection; however, CNS infections are very rare. We herein present a case of ventriculitis caused by MDR-AB in a 37-year old man after a neurosurgical intervention. The patient was successfully treated with intrathecal colistimethate.

실시간 능동 데이터베이스를 위한 다중 버전 동시성 제어 기법

홍석희 慶星大學校 1998 論文集 Vol.19 No.2

In this paper, we extend the multiversion concurrency control algorithm for real-time active databases. Transactions in real-time active databases have the notion of activeness where transactions are generated by external effect and another transactions. Active transactions are mainly characterized by triggering relationships, which mean relations between a transaction that issued another transaction and the generated transaction. In this paper, we suggest two types of data conflicts according to whether triggering relationships are related to the same triggering group or different triggering groups. The proposed algorithm resolves data conflicts by considering these triggering relationships between conflicting transactions as well as priorities and precedence relationships of them.

길홍량,한헌석,하태선,이경희,박범수 충북대학교 의과대학 충북대학교 의학연구소 1995 忠北醫大學術誌 Vol.5 No.1

가와사끼병은 5세 미만의 영유아에서 호발하는 급성 전신성 혈관염으로 아직 원인이 밝혀지지는 않았으나 감염성질환 또는 자가면역질환 등으로 추정되고 있다. 1967년 일본의 Tomisaku Kawasaki에 의해 처음 보고되었으며 국내에서도 많은 증례보고가 있어왔다. 가와사끼병은 발열, 발진, 안결막 충혈, 사지말단의 변화, 구강과 입술의 변화, 경부 림프선증 등을 특징으로 하며, 치료로는 면역글로블린의 대량 정주요법과 아스피린이 사용되고 있으며 합병증에는 관상동맥류를 비롯한 심혈관질환이 있고 이로 인한 사망율이 1-2%정도인 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 질환의 재발은 드문 것으로 되어 있고 일본의 한 보고에 의하면 2-3%로 추정된다. 환아는 6세 남아로 14개월 전 처음 가와사끼병으로 진단받고 감마글로블린과 아스피린을 투약 받았고 당시 심혈관질환은 없었으며 본원 내원시에는 발열, 발진, 안결막 충혈, 붉고 갈라진 입술, 좌측 림프선병증과 손, 발의 부종이 있어 가와사끼병의 진단기준을 만족하였다. 환아는 역시 감마글로블린과 아스피린으로 치료받고 증세가 호전되었으며, 심초음파 검사상 관상동맥의 확장이나 관상동맥류의 증거는 없었다. 저자들은 가와사끼병의 재발 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Kawasaki disease, acute systemic vasculitis, that usually occurs in infant and young children. The etiology is unknown, but is supposed to be infectious disease or autoimmune disease. Kawasaki disease was first reprted by Tomisaku Kawasaki at 1967 and then many cases have been reported in Korea. Kawasaki disease was characterized by fever, rash, conjunctival injection, changes of extremities, changes of oral cavity and lips, lymphadenopathy and has been treated with intravenous gammaglobulin and aspirin. The complications are cardiovascular lesions including coronary aneurysm and coronary thrombosis. Mortality is approximately 1-2%. Recurrence is rare and 2-3% in Japanese reports. A 6-year-old boy presented with the fever, rash, conjunctivitis, red fissured lips, left lymphadenapathy, and hands and feet edema. He had been treated with intravenous gammaglobulin and aspirin for Kawasaki disease 14 months ago. At that time, he didn't have cardiovascular lesion. He was also treated with intravenous gammaglobulin and aspirin at this episode. We didn't detect coronary artery dilatation or coronary aneurysm. So, authors report a case of recurrent Kawasaki disease.
