Background: The toxicity of paraquat has been known to be caused by oxygen free radicals which leads to the lipid peroxidation and multiple organ failure. Although vitamin C has been known to be a potent antioxidant, recently there are numerous data which have shown that a low dose of vitamin C may act as a prooxidant due to the stimulation of the Fenton reaction with metal ions, which produces hydroxyl radicals. It has been reported that a deferoxamine in paraquat intoxication could reduce the production of the hydroxyl radicals by the inhibition of the Fenton reaction through the reduction of iron ion in tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the high and low dose of vitamin C and deferoxamine on lipid peroxidation and plasma TNF-α in paraquat intoxication. Methods: Female Sprague -Dawley rats were divided into seven groups: control group which was not given paraquat(20 mg/kg), P group which was given paraquat only, PVH group given paraquat and high dose of vitamin C(100 mg/kg), PVL group given paraquat and low dose of vitamin C(10 mg/kg), PVHD given paraquat, high dose of vitamine C and deferoxamine(100 mg/kg), PVLD given paraquat, low dose of vitamin C and deferoxamine, and PD given paraquat and deferoxamine. Animals were killed at 6 and 24 hours after treatment. Malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione(GSH) contents, catalase activity, plasma TNF-α, and histologic changes in the lung and liver tissue were measured. Results: The lung histology in the PVH and PD or PVHD groups showed the significant decreases in the alveolar edema and interstitial thickness compared to the P group. The liver histololgy in the PVH and PVHD groups demonstrated marked differences in the central venous and sinusoidal dilatation compared to that of the P group. While the MDA levels of the lung and liver in the PVH and PD groups showed the significant reduction compared to that of the P group at 6 hours after treatment, all groups showed the significant changes compared to the P group at 24 hours. There was no significant change of the SOD levels of the lung and liver at 6 hours among all groups. At 24 hours, the SOD levels of the lung in PVH, PVL, and PVHD groups showed the significant increases compared to the P group. The increase of the SOD level in groups combined with deferoxamine, however, revealed a little reduction. The SOD level of the liver in PVH group only significantly increased compared to the P group at 24 hours. There was no significant change of the GSH level of the lung and liver among all groups at 6 hours. At 24 hours, the GSH level of the lung and liver were significantly increased in both PVH and PD group and PVH group, respectively, compared to the P group. Although the catalase activity of the lung was not significantly increased, that of liver was signiflcantly increased in both PVHD and PD groups compared to the P group at 6 hours. The catalase activities of the lung and liver were significantly increased in PVH, PD, and PVHD at 24 hours. The concentrations of the plasma TNF-α were slightly decreased at 6 hours and slightly increased at 24 hours compared to that of the P group, but they were not significant. Conclusion: This study showed that although the low dose of vitamin C had no effect, the high dose of vitamin C revealed a decrease of the MDA level and an increase of SOD, GSH, and catalase activity in the lung and liver tissues, and the effect of the high dose of vitamin C increased with time. The administration of the deferoxamine with or without high dose of vitamin C, however, significantly showed the inhibition of the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant effect and low dose vitamin C decreased the effect of deferoxamine. The effects of the vitamin C and deferoxamine on plasma TNP-α were not clearly shown.

이양희,정영,박연주,최길순,정지연 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2008 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.33 No.2

본 연구는 정보교육 프로그램이 갑상샘암 수술 환자의 심리 및 신체적 불편감 감소에 미치는 효과를 검정하기 위해 실시된 비동등성 대조군 전,후 시차 설계의 유사 실험연구이다. 자료수집 기간은 2006년 6월 17일 부터 9월 19일 까지 3개월간 이었으며, 연구 대상자는 일개 종합병원에 갑상샘암 수술을 받기위해 입원한 환자 가운데 6월 17일 부터 8월 3일 까지 입원환자 29명을 대조군으로 하였고, 8월 5일 부터 9월 19일 까지 입원환자 30명을 실험군으로 하였다. 연구도구는 심리적 불편감을 측정하기 위해 Derogatis 등(14)이 개발한 ‘자기보고식 다차원 증상목록(Multidimensional Symptom Inven- tory)검사를 사용하였고, 신체적 불편감 측정은 McCorkle & Young(16)이 개발한 도구를 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다; 1) 정보교육 프로그램을 받은 실험군은 정보교육 프로그램을 받지 않은 대조군에 비해 심리적 불편감 정도의 차이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p= .135). 다만 ‘근심 걱정’요인에서 유의한 불편감 감소효과를 보였다(p= 0.49) . 2) 정보교육 프로그램을 받은 실험군과 정보교육 프로그램을 받지 않은 대조군은 두군 모두 신체적 불편감 정도가 사후 유의한 수준으로 증가함을 보였다(p= 0.90). 결론적으로 본 연구를 위해 만들어진 정보교육 프로그램은 갑상샘암 수술 환자의 신체적 불편감 감소에는 효과적이지 못하였으나 심리적 불편감의 근심걱정 요인을 감소시키는데는 효과가 있음을 알게 되었다. Objectives: This study was designed as a non-equivalent control group pre and post-test quasi-experimental study to examine the effects of education program using information on the psychological and physical discomfort of patients undergoing operation for cancerous thyroid glands. Methods: The study covered for three months from June 17, 2006 to September 19, 2006. The subjects of this study were selected from those patients who were admitted in one of the general hospitals in order to receive the operation for cancerous thyroid glands. They include 29 control group patients who were hospitalized during the period of Jun 17th to August 3rd 2006, and 31 experimental group patients who were hospitalized during the period of August 5th to September 19th, 2006, respectively. The instruments utilized for conducting this study includes the Multidimensional Self-Report Symptom Inventory test originally developed by Derogatis & et al. (1983) for measuring psychological discomfort. And for measuring physical discomfort, the tools developed by McCorkle & Young (1978) was utilized. Results: 1) Hypothesis 1 “The level of psychological discomfort of the experimental group who completed the information education program would be decreased comparing with that of the control group who didn't complete the program” was partly supported (Worry & Anxiety factor: p= .049). 2) Hypothesis 2 “The level of physical discomfort of the experimental group who completed the information education program would be reduced comparing with that of the control group who didn't complete the program” was not supported (p= -.90). Conclusion: The information program provided for this study was proved to be not effective for decrease physical discomfort of the patients undergoing operations for cancerous thyroid glands but proved to be effective for decrease the anxiety factor of psychological discomfort.

This paper described a collaborative exercise intended to see what kinds of short tandem repeat (STR) loci are used in different DNA typing laboratories in Korea and to compare their results for the demonstration whether uniformity of DNA profiling results from different laboratory could be achieved in Korea Laboratories were asked to test five tissue DNAs using methods routinely used in each laboratory and to report the results to the coordinating laboratory. The exercise demonstrated that each laboratory was using different STR loci for the typing with different STR numbers,2 VNTRS,36 STRs and amelogenin in total, and the direct comparison of the results from all the laboratory for the 18 loci could not be done as only one laboratory submitted typing results. Among 21 loci for which several laboratories submitted typing results, results for 14 loci were the same and results for the other 7 loci were different depending on the participating laboratory. D1S80, F13A01, D16S539, D21S11, D18S51, D3S1744 were the loci with different typing results. Even in the cases where commercial kits were used, the results were not the same depending on the machines used, that is the capillary electrophoresis or the gel based electrophoresis. The reason for the different results, points about the standardization of the methods arid the profiling data were described.

Jung, Yeon-Gil,Tumenbayar, Erdenechuluun,Choi, Hyeun-Hee,Park, Hye-Young,Kim, Eun-Hee,Zhang, Jing Elsevier 2018 CERAMICS INTERNATIONAL Vol.44 No.2

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>A new ternary-phase binder system incorporating alumina (Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>) precursors was successfully developed through process control to improve the sand mold's strength for casting of large objects. Three types of Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> precursors with different molecular structures, such as Al(OH)<SUB>3</SUB>, Al(OEt)<SUB>3</SUB>, and Al(NO<SUB>3</SUB>)<SUB>3</SUB> were employed in the ternary-phase binder system. A dual-dipping process was developed. The first dipping includes the ternary-phase binder composition and heat treatment at 1000 or 1200°C. The second dipping uses a binary-phase binder composed of TEOS and NaOMe and heat treatment at 1000°C. The results show that sodium aluminosilicate was synthesized in the ternary-phase binder at both temperatures, and amorphous silica was formed only in the ternary composition of TEOS/NaOMe/Al(OEt)<SUB>3</SUB>. In contrast, sodium silicate was formed in the binary-phase binder. The strength of the mold prepared with precursor Al(OEt)<SUB>3</SUB> was higher than those with Al(OH)<SUB>3</SUB> and Al(NO<SUB>3</SUB>)<SUB>3</SUB>, due to its improved glassification efficiency of Al(OEt)<SUB>3</SUB>. Additionally, the mold strength was increased with increasing content of TEOS in the ternary-phase binder composition. Finally, the optimal highest strength was obtained with the ternary-phase binder composition of TEOS/NaOMe/Al(OEt)<SUB>3</SUB> in the mole ratio of 5:1:1<I>.</I> </P>

To predict the influence of volcano eruption on agriculture in South Korea we evaluated the dispersal ranges of the volcanic ashes toward the South Korea based on the possibilities of volcano eruption in Mt. Baekdu. The possibilities of volcano eruption in Mt. Baekdu have been still being intensified by the signals including magmatic unrest of the volcano and the frequency of volcanic earthquakes swarm, the horizontal displacement and vertical uplift around the Mt. Baekdu, the temperature rises of hot springs, high ratios of N₂/O₂ and ₃He/₄He in volcanic gases. The dispersal direction and ranges and the predicted amount of volcanic ash can be significantly influenced by Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) and the trend of seasonal wind. The prediction of volcanic ash dispersion by the model showed that the ash cloud extended to Ulleung Island and Japan within 9 hours and 24 hours by the northwestern monsoon wind in winter while the ash cloud extended to northern side by the south-east monsoon wind during June and September. However, the ash cloud may extent to Seoul and southwest coast within 9 hours and 15 hours by northern wind in winter, leading to severe ash deposits over the whole area of South Korea, although the thickness of the ash deposits generally decreases exponentially with increasing distance from a volcano. In case of VEI 7, the ash deposits of Daejeon and Gangneung are 1.31 × 10<SUP>4</SUP> g m<SUP>-2</SUP> and 1.80 × 10<SUP>5</SUP> g m<SUP>-2</SUP>, respectively. In addition, ash particles may compact close together after they fall to the ground, resulting in increase of the bulk density that can alter the soil physical and chemical properties detrimental to agricultural practices and crop growth.

Background/Aims: Erythrovirus B19 is associated with erythema infectiosum in children and acute arthropathy in adults. Moreover, it causes transient aplastic crisis in hemolytic anemia, chronic anemia in immunocompromised patients, and nonimmune fetal hydrops in pregnant women. Recently, acute hepatitis or fulminant hepatitis in children and adults has been reported infrequently in association with erythrovirus B19 infection. Therefore, we tried to evaluate the relationship between erythrovirus B19 and acute hepatitis of unknown etiology. Methods: Patient group included 70 patients with acute NANBNC hepatitis of unknown etiology, who were admitted to Korea University Guro Hospital from March 1995 to May 1999 (mean age, 48 years; M:F=1:1.7). Control group included 30 patients with chronic liver disease of unknown etiology admitted during the same period. (mean age, 49 years/ M:F=1.1:1). Nested PCR for erythrovirus B19 DNA was performed for sera of the patient and control groups. Results: Among the patient group, only one case was positive for erythrovirus B19 DNA PCR. The nineteen-year- old young man died of fulminant hepatitis of unknown etiology. Among the control group, none was positive for erythrovirus B19 DNA. Conclusions: These results suggest that erythrovirus B19 may be a cause of acute hepatitis of unknown etiology in Korea. In the future, a largescale investigation will be needed to clarify the role of erythrovirus B19 in young patients with acute or fulminant hepatitis of unknown etiology.

Gene-Based Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Linkage Disequilibrium Patterns of 29 Asthma Candidate Genes in the Chromosome 5q31-33 Region in Koreans

Ryu, Ha-Jung,Jung, Ho-Youl,Park, Jung-Sun,Ryu, Gil-Mi,Heo, Jee Yeon,Kim, Jae-Jung,Moon, Song-Mean,Kim, Hung-Tae,Lee, Jong-Young,Koh, Insong,Kim, Jun-Woo,Rho, Jae Kyun,Han, Bok-Ghee,Kim, Hyungtae,Park, S.Karger 2006 International archives of allergy and immunology Vol.139 No.3

<P><I>Background and Methods:</I> Numerous genetic studies have mapped asthma susceptibility genes to a region on chromosome 5q31-33 in several populations. This region contains a cluster of cytokines and other immune-related genes important in immune response. In the present study, to determine the genetic variations and patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD), we resequenced all the exons and promoter regions of the 29 asthma candidate genes in the chromosome 5q31-33 region. <I>Results:</I> We identified a total of 314 genetic variants, including 289 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 22 insertion/deletion polymorphisms and 3 microsatellites. Standardized variance data for allele frequency revealed substantial differences in SNP allele frequencies among different ethnic groups. Interestingly, significant ethnic differences were observed mainly in intron SNPs. LD block analysis using 174 common SNPs with a frequency of >10% disclosed strong LD within most candidate genes. No significant LD was observed across genes, except for one LD block (CD14-IK block). Gene-based haplotype analyses showed that 1-5 haplotype-tagging SNPs may be used to define the six or fewer common haplotypes with a frequency of >5%, regardless of the number of SNPs. <I>Conclusion:</I> Overall, our results provide useful information for the identification of immune-mediated disease genes in the chromosome 5q31-33 region, as well as valuable evidence for gene-based haplotype analysis in disease association studies.</P><P>Copyright © 2006 S.
