<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Although several genome-wide interaction studies (GWIS) have been performed in specific European populations to understand the missing link between genetic and environmental factors for lung function, GWIS of Asian samples remain rare. Therefore, we performed a GWIS of exposure to air pollution to identify loci for lung function in Korean adult men. A total of 1826 adult men recruited from two health check-up centers were included in the analysis and the annual mean concentrations of ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm (PM<SUB>10</SUB>) were used. In case of forced vital capacity (FVC), one SNP (rs12312730) that passed our genome-wide threshold of <I>p</I>int < 1 × 10–5 was detected in the intronic region of the <I>BICD1</I> gene on chromosome 12. In addition, we found two variants (rs6743376 and rs17042888) located near the <I>IL1RN-IL1F10</I> gene that were involved in the inflammatory response and associated with decreased FVC via interaction with PM<SUB>10</SUB> exposure. A stratified association analysis according to these SNP genotypes showed that PM<SUB>10</SUB> concentrations in subjects with one or two of the risk alleles, compared with those with the non-risk allele, were significantly correlated with a reduction in FVC. This pattern was replicated in another 892 Korean adult samples. The current study reports the first GWIS discovery in an Asian population: the <I>BICD1</I> and <I>IL1RN-IL1F10</I> genes may contribute to the decrease in FVC levels by interacting with PM<SUB>10</SUB> exposure.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Significant interactions between <I>BICD1 or IL1RN-IL1F10</I> and PM<SUB>10</SUB> for FVC were found. </LI> <LI> The several SNPs in these genes were more susceptible to FVC decline by PM<SUB>10</SUB>. </LI> <LI> For FVC, these interaction effects were reproducible in another sample. </LI> </UL> </P>

두부의 기능성 및 저장성을 향상시킬 목적으로 큰느타리버섯 균사체를 이용한 발효두부를 제조하여 물과 메탄올로 추출하여 면역세포 활성에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 큰느타리버섯 균사체를 배양하기 위한 최적 배지는 PD broth 배지인 것을 확인하였으며, 큰타리버섯 균사체를 이용한 두부의 최적 발효기간은 7일 정도가 적당하였다. 큰느타리버섯 균사체를 이용하여 발효한 두부의 물 및 메탄올추출물은 0.01 ㎍/mL 농도 이상에서 비장세포의 증식을 유도하였으며, 이들 추출물은 IL-6, IFN-γ 분비를 유도하는 것으로 나타났다. 발효두부 물 추출물은 대조군에 비해 대식세포의 일산화질소 생산을 1 ㎍/mL 농도 이상에서 유의적으로 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 메탄올 추출물은 10 ㎍/mL 농도 이상에서 그 생산을 증가시켰다. 발효두부 추출물들은 대식세포가 분비하는 IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β 및 GM-CSF 분비량을 유의하게 증가시켰다. 따라서 큰느타리버섯 균사체로 발효한 두부는 기능성 두부로 개발이 가능하리라 생각된다. In order to improve the functional benefits and storage properties of soybean tofu, fermented tofu was developed using Pleurotus eryngii mycelia. The immune activities of water and methanol extracts of the tofu were investigated. The optimal medium for the growth of Pleurotus eryngii mycelia was PD broth medium and the optimal fermentation period for the tofu was 7 days. The water and methanol extracts of the fermented tofu induced the proliferation of spleen cells at above 0.01 ㎍/mL. The water extract increased IL-2, IFN-γ production, while the methanol extract increased IFN-γ synthesis. The water and methanol extracts of the fermented tofu induced the NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells at above 1 ㎍/mL and above 10 ㎍/mL concentration, respectively. The extracts also significantly increased the production of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β and GM-CSF in the cells. These results suggest that the tofu fermented with Pleurotus eryngii mycelia could be developed as a functional tofu.

본 연구는 동충하초(Cordyces militaris) 유래의 기능성 물질인 코디세핀의 면역활성을 검증하기 위하여 C57BL6 마우스 복강 대식세포를 이용하여 코디세핀이 대식세포의 활성화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 시험하였다. 그 결과 LPS에 의해 유도된 마우스 복강세포는 코디세핀의 작용에 의해 IL-1β, IL-12, TNF-α의 염증성 사이토카인의 생성이 증대되어 초기 염증매개 반응을 유도하여 선천면역반응의 활성화와 그리고 면역작용에 있어 후기 적응면역의 전환으로의 T 림프구의 활성화가 예상된다. 또한 IL-6의 생성증대로 활성화된 T 림프구에 의해 B 림프구의 항체생성반응을 매개하는 면역반응도 상승할 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 대식세포에 의한 염증반응에서 염증매개인자인 NO와 H₂O₂의 생성을 증대시킴에 따라 대식세포의 독성작용을 활성화시켜 염증반응을 효과적으로 유도할 것으로 보이며, 또한 H₂O₂의 후기 생성을 저해하였는데 이는 염증반응에 유도될 수 있는 세포의 손상으로부터 세포를 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 코디세핀은 외부인자로부터 염증매개성 면역반응의 증강작용을 나타내는 것으로 사료된다. The effect of cordycepin purified from Cordyceps militaris on macrophage activation was investigated in peritoneal macrophages isolated from C57BL6 mice. Lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse peritoneal cells showed that cordycepin treatment increased the expression of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), leading to early inflammation-mediated reactions, the activation of immunological responses, and T lymphocyte activation. T lymphocytes, activated by a greater production of IL-6, resulted in antibody-generating immune reactions, suggesting that cordycepin was effective at inducing immunological responses. Consistent with the increase in the inflammation-mediating factors including nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), the toxic response of macrophages was activated and effectively induced inflammation. These findings demonstrate that cordycepin is involved in reducing cell injury provoked by inflammatory reactions. Therefore, these results suggest that cordycepin treatment of mouse peritoneal cells induces inflammation-mediated immunological responses and immunostimulation.

Asian sand dust (ASD), which mainly originatesin China and Mongolia in the spring and blows into Korea,can exacerbate respiratory and immunological diseases. This study aims to observe eff ects of co-exposure to ASD onovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic lung infl ammation andof treatment with a phosphodiesterase 7 (PDE7) inhibitor ina mouse model. The challenge with OVA increased airwayhyperresponsiveness (AHR) and infl ammatory cell infi ltrationinto the lung tissue. Interleukin (IL)-13, tumor necrosisfactor-alpha, monocyte-protein-1, mucin, and antigen-specific IgE and IgG1 production increased in mouse serum. The co-exposure of ASD signifi cantly exacerbated theseeff ects in this asthma model. Notably, the administration ofa PDE7 inhibitor, BRL-50481 (BRL), signifi cantly reducedAHR, infi ltration of infl ammatory cells into the lungs, andthe levels of type 2 T helper cell-related cytokines, antigenspecific immunoglobulins, and mucin. Thus, the administrationof BRL ameliorated OVA-induced allergic asthmaticresponses exacerbated by co-exposure to ASD. This studysuggests that PDE7 inhibition can be a therapeutic strategyfor infl ammatory lung diseases and asthma via the regulation of T lymphocytes and reduction of IL-13, and, consequently,mucin production.

큰느타리버섯의 기능성 식품으로서 활용도를 높이기 위해 동결 건조된 자실체에서 분리한 조다당체 추출물이 면역세포 활성에 미치는 효과를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조다당체 추출물은 300 및 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 비장세포의 증식을 유도하였으며, 이때 비장세포는 IL-6와 IFN-γ 분비를 유도하는 것으로 나타났다. 조다당체 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 B세포의 증식을 유도하였으며, 특히 100 ㎍/mL 농도 이상에서는 B세포의 증식이 현저히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 조다당체 추출물 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 B세포가 생산하는 IgG1, IgG2a, IgG3의 분비량이 현저히 증가하였다. 또한 농도 의존적으로 대식세포주의 일산화질소 생산을 유도하였으며, 대식세포가 분비하는 IL-6, TNF-α, GM-CSF의 생산도 현저히 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. The objective of the current study was to determine the effects of the crude polysaccharide isolated from fruit body of Pleurotus eryngii on mouse splenocytes, B cells, and macrophages in vitro. The crude poly-saccharides directly induced the proliferation of spleen cells in a dose-dependent manner and increased IL-6 and IFN-γ synthesis. The crude polysaccharides also increased the proliferation of B cells in a dose-dependent manner. The production of immunoglobulin G1, G2a and IgG3 in the presence of the crude polysaccharides was increased progressively in the culture supernatant. When the crude polysaccharide were used in macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) stimulation, there were marked induction of NO synthesis in a dose-dependent manner and IL-6, TNF-γ and GM-CSF synthesis. These results suggest that the crude polysaccharide isolated from fruit body of Pleurotus eryngii seem to act as a potent immunomodulator causing augmentation of immune cell activity, and thus could be used as a biological response modifier having possible therapeutic effects against immunological disorders, without any side effects.

Objectives : The purpose of study was to define the clinical and epidemiological factors of HNP and to provide the meaningful sources for establishing a prognosis and a rationale for clinical management of occupational low back problem. Methods : This study was performed at eight branch hospitals of Catholic University of Korea and several governmental hospitals for occupational disorders around the Kyunggi province of Korea since Jan. 1985. We analyzed the several factors about lumbar HNP through comparative study of the hospital admission series of each 200 patients in both occupation- and nonoccupation related, subjected to epidemiologic and clinical investigation, respectively. Results : 1. Mean age of occupational HNP was younger (30.9±8.8) than non-occupational HNP (35.2±10.5) (p〈0.05). 2. The duration of clinical symptom before admission was longer in non-occupational HNP(19.9±22.8 Mo.) than in occupational HNP(6.9±12.4 Mo.) (p〈0.05). 3. The symptomatic attack before admission was more frequent in non-occupational HNP(3.7±1.9) than in occupational HNP(2.5±0.9) (p(0.05) 4. There were no significant differences in physical findings between two groups, except for low rate (63%) of straight leg raising test (SLR) limitation in occupational HNP compared to non-occupational HNP(83%) (p〈0.05). 5. Even though The main reason for operative intervention was a failure of conservative treatment in both groups (p〈0.05), extruded subligamentous type was predominant(50%) in occupational HNP (p〈0.05), whereas extruded transligamentous type occupied major portion (67.8%) in non-occupational HNP (p〈0.05). Conclusion : The clinical results were poor in occupational HNP in both conservative and operative management groups, compared to non-occupational HNP (p〈0.05) and mean durations admission and re-admission rate was higher in occupational HNP, compared to non-occupational HNP (p〈0.05).

The purpose of this study was to suggest a grounded theory on the process of undergraduate students' generating pattern-knowledge about scientific episodes. The pattern-discovery tasks were administered to seven college students majoring in elementary education. The present study found that college students show five types of procedural knowledge represented in the process of pattern-discovery, such a s element, elementary variation, relative prior knowledge, predictive-pattern, and final pattern-knowledge. Furthermore, subjects used seven types of thinking ways, such as recognizing objects, recalling knowledges, searching elementary variation, predictive-pattern discovery, confirming a predictive-pattern, combining patterns, and selecting a pattern. In addition, pattern-discovering process involves a systemic process of element, elementary variation, relative prior knowledge, generating and confirming predictive-pattern, and selecting final pattern-knowledge. The processes were shown the abductive and deductive reasoning as well as inductive reasoning. This study also discussed the implications of these findings for teaching and evaluating in science education.

권세훈,김형호,강지인,하재하,한경택,이재록,김동민,권용은,윤성호,이승일 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2007 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.32 No.1

Scrub typhus is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by the organism Orientia tsutsugamushi. Clinical manifestations are fever, skin rash, eschar and varying degree of respiratory distress. The pleural effusion in scrub typhus is rare and secondary to the destruction of vascular endothelium. Because the respiratory symptoms are generally mild and the pleural effusion in scmb typhus is rare than in interstitial pneumonia, there are few comments about the characteristics of scmb typhus with pleural effusion. So we made the comparative study of scmb typhus patients between with pleural effusion and without pleural effusion. 연구배경 치명적일 수 있는 감염질환 중 하나인 쯔쯔가무시중(Scrub typhus)에서 드문 흉막삼출을 동반한 환자에 대한 고찰은 다른 문헌에서도 자주 언급되지 않았다. 따라서 본 저자들은 흉막삼출이 있는 경우와 없는 경우에 따른 쯔쯔가무시중 환자들을 비교하고자 하였다. 방법 2003년에서 2006년까지 조선대학교 병원 내과에 입원중인 환자 중 쯔쯔가무시중 진단을 받은 총 109명의 환자를 대상으로 하여 흉부 X선 검사 및 혈청학적 검사(CPK, LDH, ESR, CRP, AST, ALT, ADA), 혈액학적 검사(WBC, PLT) 및 백분율 검사등을 실시하였다. 결과 흉막삼출이 있는 환자들의 경우 흉막 삼출이 없는 환자들에 비해 ESR 수치가 통계학적으로 의의있게 높았다(p-vaule < 0.05). 결론 흉막삼출 유무에 따른 쯔쯔가무시중 환자간의 비교에 있어 ESR 수치가 통계학적인 의의를 가졌다.
