To study the effect of cAMP on the generation of osteoclasts from their precursor cells, the bone marrow cells were isolated from 7 to 9 week-old male mice. The femur and tibia were dissected aseptically and the marrow cavity was flushed with 1 ㎖ of α-minimum essential medium by slow injection. Collected marrow cells were cultured at 1.5-2.0×10^6 cells/well in 24-well plate for 8 days. In experimental group, PGE_2(5×10^-6, 10^-5M), forskolin(10^-5M) or IBMX(10^-4, 10^-5M) were added singly or in combination from the 1st day culture. After cultures, staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRACP)-marker enzyme of osteoclast-was performed according to the modified method of Burstone. The TRACP-positive multinucleated cells(MNC), which have 3 or more nuclei, were counted. The observed results were as follows. 1. In control group. TRACP-positive mononuclear cells were present, but no TRACP-positive multinucleated cells appeared. 2. PGE_2(5×10^-6M) or forskolin(10^-5M) significantly stimulated the formation of TRACP-positive MNC. Moreover, forskolin potentiated the TRACP-positive MNC formation induced by PGE_2 when added simultaneously. 3. IBMX(10^-4, 10^-5M), when added alone, significantly stimulated the formation of TRACP-positive MNC. However, IBMX(10^-5M) added in combination of PGE_2(10^-5M) partially inhibited the TRACP-positive MNC formation induced by PGE_2.

While most of adults in the past thought that marriage was compulsory, now marriage is considered not as compulsory but as optional, which is being on a decreasing trend. Accordingly, their intention to marry, time and motive of marriage depend on the individual situation or preference rather than the standardized and uniform way. This study was conducted to analyze the intention of unmarried men and women to marriage more concretely and in depth. The survey of 316 students who took a course of 'Marriage and Family' in Chung-Ang University was conducted with a way of self-description as a method for a qualitative survey to analyze their consciousness to marriage more deeply, classifying into a total of four questions. The findings of the survey were as follows. First, in terms of the intention to marriage, 93.0% of the responders answered "I will marry", indicating the majority of the students were considering marriage positive. In addition to it, in terms of the connection of love and marriage, 61.0% of the responders answered love and marriage were connected with each other, compared to 34.0% who answered seperate. Second, in terms of the motive of marriage, realization of love topped, followed by a valuable thing, emotional stability, providing for their old age, economic stability, independence from their parents and happy married life of their parents. Third, in terms of the reason to choose single, freedom topped, following by concern at change of love, unnecessity of marriage, burden on a new family, negative image to marriage, description and escape from reality, economic responsibility and the cumbersome processes of marriage.

The corrosion resistance of metallic implants is essential for successful implant osseointegration. Moreover, the implant surface should have appropriate surface roughness for the attachment of the osteoblast and collagen fibrils. When titanium is exposed to air a thermodynamically very stable oxide film is formed at once. This oxide is very thin and yet it protects the metal from corrosion instantaneously. However, the oxide would not be ideal, and it would be supposed that the state of oxide film would be various by the different conditions when it is formed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the electrochemical properties and surface microstructural changes of titanium after passivation treatment or exposure to high heat (in vacuum or in air). ASTM grade 2 commercially pure titanium (Ti) disks of 10㎜ diameter were wet ground and polished with 240 and 600 grit SiC, and then ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water and ethanol. Cleansed as-received samples (As-R group) were passivated with 30% nitric acid solution at 50℃ for 15 minutes to make the Pas group. The Std-V samples were made by treating the Ti disks in vacuum quartz tube (10^-8 Torr) at 530℃ for 40 min for stress relieving, followed by annealing at 700℃ for 90 min, and then slow cooling to room temperature. The Std-A samples undergo identical procedure as the Std-V group except that it is done in air. For 530℃-V samples, Ti disks were heated at 530℃ for 40 minutes and slow cooled to room temperature. The 1000℃-V samples were produced by heating Std-V specimens again at 1000℃ for 2 hr, followed by cooling to room temperature. 530℃-A and 1000℃-A samples were also prepared. Potentiodynamic anodic polarization measurement, SEM, AFM and XRD analysis were performed to evaluate the effects of the various treatments. The difference in the mean values of E_corr between groups showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05), but that of I_corr did not show significance (P>0.05). When Ti surface was passivated there was a shift of corrosion potential (E_corr) in the noble direction and a lower corrosion current density (I_corr) value. Std-A samples showed most noble E_corr value among the tested groups. 530℃-V samples showed more noble E-corr than other tested groups except Std-A group. 1000℃-V samples showed more noble E-corr than those of Std-V sample. In the case of Std-, 530℃- and 1000℃-groups, -A sub-groups showed better corrosion resistant characteristics than -V sub-groups in regard to E-corr and I_corr values. In the SEM observations, the surfaces of the As-R samples showed only scratch line on smooth surface. In Pas samples, thick oxide layer covered the surface under high magnification observation. 530℃-A samples were covered by oxide granules, and Std-A samples had 25~50 nm-thick acicular oxides. The 1000℃-A samples were covered by coarse oxide crystals with a granule diameter of 0.1~0.6 μm having a gross appearance of milky white color, which was identified by XRD as a rutile. On the other hand, 1000℃-V samples showed an Widmansta¨tten structrue of which the orientation of the lattice is formed along crystallographic planes of the parent crystals. On the AFM observation, 530℃-A samples showed RMS roughness of 79.38 nm which is 5 times rougher than those of the As-R samples. Std-A sample had a roughness of 330.47 nm which is about 20-times rougher than that of the As-R sample. 1000℃-A samples were covered by coarse granular oxides and the roughness were about 0.56 μm. Vacuum sub-group samples showed a more smooth surface than air sub-group samples, and the oxide film was more dense. Due to variability of the surface treatment and heat treatment conditions, the process of the oxide formation seems to be affected thereby making the corrosion properties and surface micro-morphology different. However, more various electrochemical analysis together with surface analysis, and an investigation for the effects of those on the osteoblast cell adhesion and calcium phosphate apposition are needed for the improvement of the osseointegration rates of the titanium implants.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the needs of health education in students, their parents and teachers in the elementary, middle and high schools and the current situation of health education class. Method: The subjects of this study were a total of 9450 persons including students, their parents and teachers from 279 schools throughout the country. They were selected through convenient sampling. Data were analyzed through x^(2)­test and ANOVA. Result: Students, their parents and teachers replied that 18 dimensions of health education class (DHEC) are necessary. The four DHEC - healthier life style, sex education, mental health and safety education - showed high educational needs in students, their parents, and teacher. High school students had higher educational need of 'symptom management for daily living' than elementary and middle school students. Students, their parents and teachers in elementary school had higher educational needs of 17 DHEC that those in middle and high school. The percentages of schools with health education class taught by health teachers were 99.2%, 75.5% and 66.0% respectively in elementary, middle and high schools. Health education was given mainly using physical education classes at elementary schools, and creative class hours at middle and high schools. In general, health education took 1-3 hours per week at elementary schools, and less than an hour at middle and high schools. Conclusion: Therefore, based on the results, systematic health education class should begin from elementary school to meet the need of health education in students, their parents and teachers, and further study should be made on the number of hours required and the amount of contents of 18 DHEC.

이 연구는 컴퓨터 작업시 의자 등받이 위치가 근육활성도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 36명의 근골격에 문제가 없는 성인 남녀가 참가하였으며 대상자들은 등받이가 뒤에 있는 의자와 등받이가 없는 의자, 등받이가 앞에 있는 우리들 의자를 무작위로 배정하고 동일한 컴퓨터 작업을 실시하게 하였다. 실험 중, 표면근전도기를 사용하여 의자에 따른 위등세모근, 머리널판근 그리고 척주세움근의 근활성도 변화를 측정하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해보면 등받이가 앞에 있는 의자는 허리 근육의 부담을 줄이지만 목근육에 부담이 늘어나고 등받이가 뒤에 있는 의자와 없는 의자는 허리근육에는 다소 무리가 가지만 목근육에는 부담이 덜하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 환자의 증상에 다라 컴퓨터 작업을 하는 동안 의자 등받이의 위치를 조절하여 치료에 도움이 될 수 있다고 생각되어진다. Objective : In this study, we checked and observed people's change of body muscle and muscle activity who do computer work on different chairs. We set three kind of chairs which one is a stool and another one is the back is fixed, and the other one is the back is fixed in front of chair. Subject : Accounting for 36 health men and women, we divided these people to 3 groups and put them on the three cases(position 1, position 2, position 3). We measured muscle activity of upper trapezius, Splenius Cervics, Erector Spinae from the groups by using surface electromyogram system. Methods : The standard of the electromyogram was 'reference voluntary contraction', and we carried out 'one way anova' to compare muscle activity of three groups. Results : In position 1, reference voluntary contraction of upper trapezius muscle activity was 123.2821%, Splenius Cervics was 141.7526%, and Erector Spinae was 254.5233%. In position 2, reference voluntary contraction of upper trapezius muscle activity was 132.9395%, Splenius Cervics was 141.7526%, and Erector Spinae was 246.6540%. In position 3, reference voluntary contraction of upper trapezius muscle activity was 190.6487%, Splenius Cervics was 270.2332%, and Erector Spinae was 182.1021%. Both upper trapezius and Splenius Cervics muscle activity of position 3 group was higher than the others groups. In position 1 group, Erector Spinae muscle activity was hight than the other groups. And either was position 2 group's(p<0.05). Conclusion : Therefore the chair which is the back is fixed in front is more comfortable for waist muscle but it's not good for neck. And the other chairs are better in waist muscle but not in neck muscle. So far, when we do a computer work, it's prefer to sit on the group 1&2's chairs to reduce neck muscle's stress and sit on group 3's chair to reduce waist muscle's stress.

Purpose: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and ethanol ablation (EA) are effective and safe for benign symptomatic thyroid nodules (BSTNs). However, relatively little is known about the effects of these procedures on patients’ quality of life (QoL). This prospective, multicenter study evaluated the effects of RFA and EA on changes in thyroid-specific QoL in patients with BSTNs and assessed the volume reduction and safety of these procedures. Methods: Eighty-six consecutive patients with 86 BSTNs were prospectively included from two medical centers. RFA was performed for 55 BSTNs with solidity ≥50% and EA was performed for 31 BSTNs with solidity <50%. QoL was evaluated using an 11-scale, multiple-choice thyroidspecific QoL questionnaire. Nodule characteristics and QoL were evaluated at diagnosis and 1, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Overall QoL was rated from 0 (good) to 4 (poor). Results: The mean longest size and volume of the index nodule were 4.2±1.5 cm and 21.6±22.1 mL, respectively. Patients received 1.1 treatments on average (range, 1 to 2). Significant posttreatment volume reductions were noted; however, the EA group showed a higher volume reduction than the RFA group at 1 (78.7%-16.1% vs. 49.1%-15.8%), 6 (86.3%-21.7% vs. 73.0%-14.5%), and 12 (90.9%-14.9% vs. 80.3%-12.4%) months. The score for each scale of the QoL questionnaire improved significantly during follow-up (all P<0.001). Overall QoL improved significantly, from 1.7±0.9 at diagnosis to 0.6±0.7 at the 12-month follow-up (P<0.001). There were no major complications.

Endobronchial mucormycosis successfully treated with bronchoscopic cryotherapy: A case report

( Yeong Hun Choe ),( Yong Chul Lee ),( Seung Yong Park ),( Jae Seok Jeong ),( So Ri Kim ) 대한결핵 및 호흡기학회 2017 대한결핵 및 호흡기학회 추계학술대회 초록집 Vol.124 No.-

Endobronchial mucormycosis is devastating fungal disease and a major threat in immunocompromised patients. The mortality rate is high, and surgical debridement of necrotic tissue along with antifungal therapy is required for cure. However, there are so many hurdles to apply the surgical resection as a therapeutic strategy. We describe a case of endobronchial mucormycosis in a liver transplant recipient who was successfully treated with bronchoscopic cryotherapy and liposomal amphotericin B. Given that there is extremely little information on mucormycosis treated with bronchoscopic cryotherapy so far, the current experience has valuable clinical significance suggesting that bronchoscopic cryotherapy with antifungal treatment can be a promising alternative therapeutic approach for endobronchial mucormycosis, especially in cases of mucormycosis that surgery may not be feasible due to various factors such as the extent and location of the lesions and poor medical condition of the patient.

Current Updates and Unmet Needs of Brain MRI-Based Artificial Intelligence Software for Patients With Neurodegenerative Diseases in the Republic of Korea

So Yeong Jeong,Chong Hyun Suh,Hwon Heo,Woo Hyun Shim,Sang Joon Kim 대한자기공명의과학회 2022 Investigative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Vol.26 No.4

In aging societies, incidences of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are increasing. Neurodegenerative diseases are bringing main challenges to the healthcare system in today’s world. Analyzing characteristic imaging patterns of patients with neurodegenerative diseases is important. Since objective and reliable imaging assessments and precise analyses can lead to early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, imaging patterns are being increasingly investigated. Artificial intelligence (AI) analyzing brain MRI has been applied to neurodegenerative diseases, providing added value in early diagnosis. MRI-based AI software has been developed and studied worldwide, with some AI-based software already being used in actual clinical care. Currently, there are MRI-based volumetry and segmentation software available. There is also an unmet demand for the application of AI in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we review current status and unmet needs for application of AI in neurodegenerative diseases. We also discuss current limitations of AI, suggestion for AI-based software, and how it can be clinically applied in the future.

Jeong So Yeong,Chung Sae Rom,Baek Jung Hwan,Choi Young Jun,Kim Sehee,Sung Tae-Yon,Song Dong Eun,Kim Tae Yong,Lee Jeong Hyun 대한영상의학회 2023 Korean Journal of Radiology Vol.24 No.12

Objective: We investigated the impacts of computed tomography (CT) added to ultrasound (US) for preoperative evaluation of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) on staging, surgical extent, and postsurgical survival. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent surgery for PTC between January 2015 and December 2015 were retrospectively identified. Of them, 584 had undergone preoperative additional thyroid CT imaging (CT + US group), and 859 had not (US group). Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to adjust for 14 variables and balance the two groups. Changes in nodal staging and surgical extent caused by CT were recorded. The recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results: In the CT + US group, discordant nodal staging results between CT and US were observed in 94 of 584 patients (16.1%). Of them, CT accurately diagnosed nodal staging in 54 patients (57.4%), while the US provided incorrect nodal staging. Ten patients (1.7%) had a change in the extent of surgery based on CT findings. Postsurgical recurrence developed in 3.6% (31 of 859) of the CT + US group and 2.9% (17 of 584) of the US group during the median follow-up of 59 months. After adjustment using IPTW (580 vs. 861 patients), the CT + US group showed significantly higher recurrence-free survival rates than the US group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.52 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.29–0.96]; P = 0.037). PSM analysis (535 patients in each group) showed similar HR without statistical significance (HR, 0.60 [95% CI, 0.31–1.17]; P = 0.134). For distant metastasis-free survival, HRs after IPTW and PSM were 0.75 (95% CI, 0.17–3.36; P = 0.71) and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.20–3.80; P = 0.851), respectively. Conclusion: The addition of CT imaging for preoperative evaluation changed nodal staging and surgical extent and might improve recurrence-free survival in patients with PTC.
