Objectives: Although there have been several reports that described characteristics for young age stroke, information regarding very young age (18–30 years old) has been limited. We aimed to analyze demographic factors, stroke subtype, and 3-month outcome in acute ischemic stroke patient who have relatively very young age in multicenter stroke registry. Methods: We evaluated all 122 (7.1%) consecutive acute ischemic stroke (within 7 days after symptom onset) patients aged 18 to 30 from 17,144 patients who registered in multicenter prospective stroke registry, 1997 to 2012. Etiology was classified by Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. Stroke severity was defined as National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and stroke outcome was defined by modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months after index stroke. Results: The mean age of all included patients was 25.1±3.7 years and 76 patients (62.2%) were male. The median NIHSS at admission was 4. Considering stroke subtype, 37 patients (30.3%) had stroke of other determined etiology (SOD), 37 (30.3%) had undetermined negative evaluation (UN) and 31 (25.4%) had cardioembolism (CE) were frequently noted. After adjusting age, sex and variables which had P<0.1 in univariable analysis (NIHSS and stroke subtype), CE stroke subtype (odds ratio, 4.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.42–15.48; P=0.011) were significantly associated with poor functional outcome (mRS≥3). Conclusion: In very young age ischemic stroke patients, SOD and UN stroke subtype were most common and CE stroke subtype was independently associated with poor discharge outcome.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of tooth enamel dissolution by commercial beverages. Five kinds of beverages(cola, cider, aquarius, boribori and sunkist orange) were selected for test medium and sixteen of extracted 3rd molar were used for tooth enamel specimens. The acidity of each beverage was determined with pH meter and the concentration of total glucose was checked with Glucose kit and U-V spectrophotometer. The dissolved calcium was determined by Atomic Absoprtion Spectrophotometer and the change of enamel surfaces were observed with Scanning Electron Microscopy(× 400 & × 1,000 magnification). All collected data were analyzed by one-way & two-way ANOVA in SPSS/PC^+ program. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The major containing acid type of cola beverage was phosphoric acid but the other beverages(cider, aquarius, boribori and sunkist) were citric acid. The pH of each beverage was lowest in cola and sport drink, cider, boribori, fruit juice in ascending order(F=205.85, p<0.001), the average pH of 5 kinds of beverage was 2.84 ±0.04, all beverages used in this experiment were low enough to decalcify the tooth enamel. The total glucose concentration of each beverage was 2.74% in aquarius, 2.78% in cider, 3.96% in sunkist, 4.23% in boribori and 4.27% in cola. 2. The average dissolved calcium concentration in 5cc of beverage was 1.54±0.12ppm/5㎖ of HNO_3 in cola, 1.76±0.38ppm in sunkist, 1.90±0.09ppm in boribori, 3.03±0.09ppm in aquarius, 3.59±0.38ppm in cider and the final calcium contents, which is extrated original calcium contents from total calcium contents after 120 minutes were highest in cola(1.27ppm) and aquarius(1.02ppm), cider(0.58ppm), sunkist(0.45ppm), boribori(0.33ppm) in the order(p<0.05). 3. The direct proportional relationship was not found between the degree of surface change on Scanning Electron Microscopy and the amount of dissolved calcium per immersion time. But the more the immerging time was lengthened, the more surface change was observed. The surface change of 120 minutes group was more remarkable than 30 and 60 minutes immerged group in each beverage.

<P>The delayed hydride cracking (DHC) tests were conducted on Zr-2.5Nb compact tension specimens with the test temperatures reached by a heating and a cooling. The Zr-2.5Nb specimens were either furnace-cooled or water-quenched after a hydrogen charging treatment to contain 10 to 100 ppm H. On an approach to the test temperatures by a cooling, both the Zr-2.5Nb specimens showed the DHC velocity increasing with an increasing temperature over a temperature range of 100–300°C, irrespective of the cooling rate. However, on an approach to the test temperatures by heating, the furnace-cooled Zr-2.5Nb showed a DHC arrest at temperatures over 180°C and no DHC at 250°C, and the water-quenched ones did have a DHC growth, even at 250°C. Using Kim’s DHC model we elucidate the DHC arrest in the furnace-cooled Zr-2.5Nb at temperatures over 180°C and the DHC growth in the water-quenched specimen, even at 250°C, upon an approach by a heating.</P>

Review on Critical Temperatures for Initiation and Arrest of Delayed Hydride Cracking in Zirconium Alloys

Young Suk Kim,Kyung Soo Im,Yong Moo Cheong 대한기계학회 2004 대한기계학회 춘추학술대회 Vol.2004 No.8

The hydrogen concentration limit and critical temperatures for a delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in zirconium alloys have been described on the assumption that a tensile stress gradient is a driving force for the DHC. By correlating the DHC initiation and arrest temperatures with the critical supersaturated hydrogen concentration or △C for the DHC initiation and arrest, we conclude that the △C arising from the hysteresis of the terminal solid solubility of hydrogen on a heat-up and on a cool-down is the driving force for the DHC and that the Kim's DHC model is feasible.

Biodegradable retinal fixation devices obtain mechnical fixation of the retina with desirable chorioretinal scarring and with the potential for local, sustained release of antimetabolites and steroids to inhibit proliferative vitreoretinopathy. We manufactured a biodegradable retinal tack with barb that was designed in order to prevent intrusion from implantation of retinal tacks. This study was carried to evaluate the efficacy for retinal fixation and the capability for sustained release of drugs with a newly designed biodegradable retinal tack Biodegradable retinal tacks were made of polymers of glycolic acids and were designed with barbs in a shape to prevent the disinsertion. Biodegradale retinal tacks are divided into 3 parts, a conical portion that is inserted into the sclera, a cylinder portion that remains in the vitreous, and a neck portion between the pin and the cylinder. The tapered conical end was manufactured to allow easy insertion through the retina and choroid into the sclera. A cylinder portion was manufactured with a tapered angle that fixes firmly into the orifice of 19 gauge spinal needle. A neck portion, 0.4 mm in diameter, was designed to prevent disinsertion from following implantation of retinal tack. The applicator was a 19 gauge spinal needle and its orifice was prepared to 15°angle to accept the tapered cylinder portion of the retinal tack. The retinal tacks, secured in the needles, were passed through the formed vitreous and inserted into the retina, choroid, and sclera and were released by pushing the internal needle, usually within 2-3mm of the medullary ray of the posterior rabbit retina A retinal tack was placed in each of 8 pigmented rabbit eyes. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy and fundus photography were performed periodically from 1 day to 8 weeks after surgery. Eight eyes were enucleated and studied by light microscopy at 8 weeks. Biomicroscopic evaluation of the animals revealed edemas adjacent to the retinal surfaces immediately after insertion of the biodegradable retinal tacks in all the animals. These edemas disappeared after 1 week. The first noticeable change in the size of retinal tacks was shown after 2weeks. The size of the retinal tacks gradually got smaller, decreasing to about one-half at 4 weeks and about one-third at 8 weeks. All retinal tacks remained in inserted places without any movement for an 8 week period. On light microscopy, epiretinal proliferations were seen to extend into the vitreous cavity. Cellular capsules that lined the inner aspect of the scleral defect caused by tack insertion were found. However the adjacent retina had a normal cytologic appearance and architecture in all specimens. We manufactured a biodegradable retinal tack that is designed to prevent intrusion from implantation of retinal tacks. All biodegradable retinal tacks reduce in size with time, but no retinal tacks extruded from the inserted place. The newly designed biodegradable retinal tack can be used for retinal fixation and may be used as a vehicle for the introduction of pharmacologic agents to prevent the cellular events that promote proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

김현진,정효균,홍우정,김군순,조영석,김도희,채수흥,구본정,송민호,노흥규,김영건 충남대학교 의과대학 지역사회의학연구소 2001 충남의대잡지 Vol.28 No.1

Background : ICAM-1 act as one of major adhesion molecules in the atherosclerotic lesion. ICAM-1 expression is mainly regulated at the level of transcription and depend on IFN-γ signal transduction pathway in which the STAT1 transcrption factor is a critical intermediate. IFN-γreceptor not only initiates tyrosine 701 phosphorylation of STAT1 by Jak1 and Jak2, but also phosphorylates serine 727 through the activation of Raf-1/MAP kinases. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors have anti-atherosclertic effects, beyond normalization of hypercholesterolemia, by directly acting on endothelial cells, macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors suppress the synthesis of isoprenoid intermediates such as geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate or farnesylpyrophosphate. These effects results inhibitors suppress the synthesis of isoprenoid intermediates such as geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate or farnesylpyrophosphate. These effects results inhibition posttranslational farnesylation and geranyl-geranylation processing of small GTP-binding preoteins and inhibition of normal signaling activities. Method : We made several 5'-deletion constructs of rat ICAM-1 promoter and analyzed the promoter activities by measuring the luciferase activity after transfection into ECV304 cells and smooth muscle cells. We checked the level of total and phosphorylated STAT1 protein by immunoblot analysis using specific antibodies. Results : Lovastatin inhibits IFN-γ-induced ICAM-1 gene expression in the ECV304cell. The cells pretreated with PD98059, MEKK inhibitor showed significantly low ICAM-1 RNA induction with IFN-γ stimulatio. IFN-γ induced phosphorylation of tyrosine 701 was not significantly changed by the pretreatment of lovastatin. But lovastatin suppresses IFN-γ-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2 which are responsible for the seine 727 phosphorylation in STAT1. Conclusion : We showed that HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, lovastatin, suppresses IFN-γ mediated ICAM-1 gene expression through the inhibition of transcription. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor suppresses IFN-γ-induced phosphorylation of serine 727 in STAT1 through the modulation of MAP kinases.

The duties of the restorative material are to bear up against stress and to protect reinforcement corrosion. So the restorative material are estimated by various kinds of strength, permeability and etc. But to evaluate performance of the restorative material accurately, it is necessary to estimate their reinforcement corrosion directly in environment of combined deterioration. In this study, to evaluate performance of restorative materials, we compare their properties in terms of compressive and bending strength and permeability of water and air with actual reinforcement corrosion like ratio of corrosion area, weight reduction and corrosion velocity of steel bar under environment of complex deterioration. The results showed that strength and permeability of restorative materials are similar but their reinforcement corrosions are very different. And there is a case that strength and permeability of restorative material are better than normal concrete but reinforcement corrosions are worse.
