연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of detraining and retraining on serum lipid and hormones in soccer players. Subjects were seven male high-school soccer players. V˙O_2max was determined for each subjects by administering a treadmill test(initial speed: 90m/min, grade: 5%, increasing speed per 3 min: 30m/min). Serum lipid(T-C, TG, HDL-C LDL-C) and hormones(epinephrine, norepinephrine, growth hormones, cortisol) were assayed pre and post detraining in 10, 20, 30 days after retraining. The repeated ANOVA was used to determine significant differences. The 0.05 level of significance was as critical level for the study. The results of the study were as follows: 1. V˙O_2max(ml/min) were 3576.3±204.2ml/min pre detraining, 3234.1±198.9 ml/min post detraining. There are significant(p<.05) difference between pre and post detraining. In 10, 20, 30 days after retraining, V˙O_2max(ml/min) were 3601.4±170.9 ml/min. There were significantly(p<.05) increased in retraining periods. 2. V˙O_2max(ml/kg/min) were significantly(p<.05) decreased from 62.3±2.9 ml/kg/min to 55.9±4.7 ml/kg/min in detraining. In 10, 20, 30 days after retraining, V˙O_2max(ml/kg/min) were 62.4±3.4ml/kg/min, 62.7±2.3ml.kg/min, 67.3±7.2ml/kg/min respectively. There were significantly(p<.05) increased in retraining periods. 3. T-C were significantly (p<.05) increased from 166.6±8.5mg/dl to 175.3±10.3 mg/dl in detraining. In 10, 20, 30 days after retraining, T-C were 160.1± 3.2mg/dl, 156.7±3.7mg/dl, 140.3±9.0mg/dl. There were significantly(p<.05) decreased in retraining periods. 4. HDL-C were 61.4±6.6mg/di pre detraining, 5.3±6.6mg/dl post detraining. There are significant(p<.05) difference between pre and post detraining. In 10, 20, 30 days after retraining, HDL-C were 56.9±7.1mg/dl, 56.4±9.2mg/dl, 57.7±9.1mg/dl respectively. There were no significant difference in retraining periods. 5. The hormones(epinephrine. norepinephrine, growth hormone, cortisol) were changed as same patterns. Epinephrine were 26.0±7.0[g/ml pre detraining, 24.6±3.2pg/ml post detraining. In 10, 20, 30 days after retraining, epinephrine were 26.9±5.6pg/ml, 30.6±6.2pg/ml, 29.4±5.6pg/ml respectively. There were no significant difference in retraining periods. In conclusion, HDL-C, epinephrine, norepinephrine, growth hormone and cortisol were decreased, T-C, LDL-C and TG were increased in detraining. But HDL-C, epinephrine, norepinephrine, growth hormone and cortisol were increased, T-C, LDL-C and TG were decreased in retraining.

급성전골수성백혈병에서 백혈구성분채집술에 이은 치명적인 뇌출혈 2예

The aim of this study is to report 2 cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia who died from intracranial hemorrhage following leukapheresis and to provide proper preventive measures against hemorrhage following leukapheresis. From 1994 to 1997, a total of twenty-six patients with leukemia underwent leukapheresis to control hyperleukocytosis at Ajou University Hospital. Two patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia received all-trans retinoic acid but developed drug-induced hyperleukocytosis. Shortly after leukapheresis, they died from intracranial hemorrhage. The risk factors for fatal hemorrhage are thought to be coexisting disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC), thrombocytopenia aggravated by leukapheresis, exacerbated coagulopathy related to mechanical trauma through leukapheresis and the excess use of citrate during leukapheresis. To reduce the risk of the bleeding associated with leukapheresis, it is necessary to replace platelet sufficiently before and after leukapheresis and to give calcium to correct coagulopathy induced by excess citrate which is used as anticoagulant as well as the correction of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Insulin resistance mediates high-fat diet-induced pulmonary fibrosis and airway hyperresponsiveness through the TGF-β1 pathway

Park, Yoon Hee,Oh, Eun Yi,Han, Heejae,Yang, Misuk,Park, Hye Jung,Park, Kyung Hee,Lee, Jae-Hyun,Park, Jung-Won Nature Publishing Group UK 2019 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.51 No.5

<▼1><P>Prior studies have reported the presence of lung fibrosis and enhanced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in mice with high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity. This study evaluated the role of TGF-β1 in HFD-induced AHR and lung fibrosis in a murine model. We generated HFD-induced obesity mice and performed glucose and insulin tolerance tests. HFD mice with or without ovalbumin sensitization and challenge were also treated with an anti-TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody. AHR to methacholine, inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and histological features were evaluated. Insulin was intranasally administered to normal diet (ND) mice, and in vitro insulin stimulation of BEAS-2b cells was performed. HFD-induced obesity mice had increased insulin resistance, enhanced AHR, peribronchial and perivascular fibrosis, and increased numbers of macrophages in the BALF. However, they did not have meaningful eosinophilic or neutrophilic inflammation in the lungs compared with ND mice. The HFD enhanced TGF-β1 expression in the bronchial epithelium, but we found no differences in the expression of interleukin (IL)−4 or IL-5 in lung homogenates. Administration of the anti-TGF-β1 antibody attenuated HFD-induced AHR and lung fibrosis. It also attenuated goblet cell hyperplasia, but did not affect the AHR and inflammatory cell infiltration induced by OVA challenge. The intranasal administration of insulin enhanced TGF-β1 expression in the bronchial epithelium and lung fibrosis. Stimulating BEAS-2b cells with insulin also increased TGF-β1 production by 24 h. We concluded that HFD-induced obesity-associated insulin resistance enhances TGF-β1 expression in the bronchial epithelium, which may play an important role in the development of lung fibrosis and AHR in obesity.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Obesity: A trigger for asthma onset</B></P><P>Insulin resistance may be an important causative factor underlying the increased risk of asthma and other respiratory issues in obese individuals. Obesity doubles the likelihood of developing asthma, with symptoms that are more difficult to control than in non-obese patients. The connection between these conditions is poorly understood, but researchers led by Jung-Won Park, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea, have identified a potential mechanism. They demonstrated that a signaling molecule called TGF-β1 contributes to airway sensitivity and tissue scarring in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. Subsequent experiments showed that treatment with insulin also gives rise to increased TGF-β1 production in the mouse lung. Since insulin resistance is a common feature of obesity, resulting in abnormally high levels of circulating insulin, this could also account for the increased risk of respiratory problems.</P></▼2>

정인범,정인철,문윤희 한국식품영양학회 1998 韓國食品營養學會誌 Vol.11 No.5

돈육의 적육을 70%로 하여 등지방을 첨가하지 않고 저지방 프레스햄(A)을 제조하고, 또 돈육과 등지방 배합비를 각각 60%와 10%(B), 55%와 15%(C) 및 50%와 20%(D)로 하여 모두 4종류의 프레스햄을 제조하였다. 이 때에 적육과 등지방 이외의 모든 재료와 제조 조건은 동일하게 하였다. 제조된 프레스햄의 일반성분, 보수력 및 기호성을 비교하고, 이것을 4℃에서 60일간 냉장하면서 10일 간격으로 조직특성의 변화 정도를 비교하였다. 저지방 프레스햄(A)은 수분 71.3%, 조단백질 함량 23.4%로 다른 제품보다 높았으며, 저지방 함량은 2.8%로 현저히 낮았다(p<0.05). 저지방 프레스햄의 보수력은 74.5%로 다른 제품보다 높았다. 저지방 프레스햄의 표면색도 중 명도(L)는 61.6 황색도(b)는 5.9로 다른 제품보다 높게 나타났다. 저지방 프레스햄은 경도가 70,.2, 탄성 85%, 씹힘성 0.49㎏, 뭉침성 2.0% 및 파쇄성이 0.7㎏으로 다른 제품보다 높은 편이었고 응집성의 경우 D제품보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 저지방 프레스햄의 향과 조직감은 다른 제품보다 열등하였으나 맛이 우수하였으며 기호성도 좋은 편이었다. This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of production for low fat press ham which was made without fat added. Four kinds of press ham were prpared ; A(pork 70%, fat 0% : low fat press ham), B(pork 60%, fat 10%), C(pork 55%, fat 15%) and D(pork 50%, fat 20%). The press ham samples were stored at 4±2℃. The physico chemical properties of press hams were analyzed during storage 60 days at 4℃. The contets of moisture(71.3%) and crude protein(23.4%) of low fat press ham were higher than those of other products, and crude fat content(2.8%) was remarkably lower(p<0.05). The water holding capacity of press ham was higher than other products. Hunter's L(61.6) and b-value(5.9) of low fat press ham were lower than other products, but a-value(11.7) was higher. Hardness(70.2dyne/㎝), springiness(85%), chewiness(0.49㎏), gumminess(2.0㎏) and brittleness(0.7㎏) of low fat press ham were higher than those of other products, but cohesiveness was lower than D product. Aroma and texture of low fat press ham were inferior to other, but taste and palatability of that were superior.

A digital satellite communication channel has a strong nonlinearity with memory due to saturation characteristics of the high power amplifier in the satellite and transmitter/receiver filters used in the overall system, and can be well modelled by a nonlinear Volterra series. In this paper, we design and evaluate neural network based adaptive equalizers for compensation of nonlinearities in digital satellite communication channels. We consider CMLP (complex multi-layered perception). CRBFN (complex radial basis function network) and complex ρth order Volterra filter as equalizers, and evaluate their performances in terms of symbol error rate under various noise conditions. In particular, a complex hybrid learning algorithm of k-means clustering and LMS (least mean squares) algorithm is proposed for the CRBFN. Computer simulation results show good performance for all the equalizers considered

옥수수유 및 정어리유 섭취가 발암물질을 투여한 흰쥐에서의 혈청 중성지질 및 콜레스테롤 함량에 미치는 영향

윤혜진,김정희 서울여자대학교 자연과학연구소 1995 자연과학연구논문집 Vol.6 No.-

지방산의 종류는 암의 생성과정 뿐만 아니라 암화과정의 억제 및 촉진에 다른 영향을 미치고 있음이 알려져왔다. 그러나 아직도 그 기전에 대해서는 확실히 밝혀지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 n-3 지방산인 정어리유 섭취시에는 n-6 지방산인 옥수수유와는 다른 영향을 미칠 것이라고 생각되므로 발암물질을 투여하여 12주간 사육하는 동안에 4, 6, 8, 12주에 각각 sampling을 하여 혈청 지질조성이 어떻게 영향을 받는지를 연구하였다. 1. 체중은 옥수수유군 보다 정어리유군에서 높은 경향을 보였고 발암물질 투여시에는 감소되는 경향을 보였으며 특히 발암물질 투여시 간의 비대화와 섬유화가 대부분의 섬유화가 대부분의 실험쥐에서 관찰 되었다. 2. 혈청의 중성지방 함량은 유지의 종류와 발암물질의 투여 여부에 따른 현저한 차이를 보였는데, 정어리유군에서 옥수수유군 보다 유의성있게 낮았으면 발암물질 투여군에서 낮아졌다. 분석시기에 따른 변화는 4주에서는 정어리유군에서 옥수수유군 보다 유의성 있게 낮았고 발암물질 투여에 의하여 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 6주군에는 군간의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, 8주에는 SO군에서 감소되었고 CO-CAR군에서는 유의적으로 증가되었으며, 12주에는 CO군만이 유의성 있게 증가되었다. 3. 혈청의 콜레스테롤 함량은 정어리유군에서 유의성 있게 낮았으며 발암물질 투여에 의한 차이는 6주와 8주에는 발암물질 투여군에서 낮아졌다가 12주에는 반대로 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 분석시기에 따른 변화는 발암물질을 투여하지 않은 군은 6주에서 증가하고 12주까지 계속 감소되는 경향을 보이는데 반해서 발암물질을 투여한 군은 주별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않아 12주에는 발암물질을 투여하지 않은 군에 비하여 오히려 높은 결과를 보여 주었다. 4. HDL-cholesterol의 함량은 옥수수군에 비하여 정어리유군에서 유의성 있게 낮았으나 발암물질 투여에 의한 효과는 6주와 8주에는 발암물질 투여군에서 유의성있게 낮아졌으나 4주와 12주에는 유의적인 차이를 볼 수 없었다. 시기에 따른 변화는 4주에는 정어리유군에서 낮았고, 6주와 8주에는 CO군에서 증가되었으며, 12주에는 발암물질 투여구에서 증가하는 경향을 보여 SO군에서 유의성 있게 낮았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 EPA나 DHA를 많이 함유한 정어리유의 섭취는 혈청 cholesterol양이나 중성지질의 양을 감소시킴에 따라 심장순환계 질환의 예방 식이로 바람직함을 알 수 있었고 아울러 발암물질 투여시 혈청 지질대사에 옥수수유와는 다른 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었으므로 암예방에 좋은 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. The present study examined effects of sardine oil rich in n-3 fatty acids and corn oil rich in n-6 fatty acides on serum lipid levels in chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis system. Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either 15% corn oil or sardine oil. Two weeks after feeding, the rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (200mg/kg body weight). From 4 week, rats were given 0.02% 2-acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF) in diet for 4 weeks. At 6 week, 0.05% phenobarbital(PB) was added to the diets until the end of experiment. Samplings were conducted at 4,6,8, and 12 week. Body weight of sardine oil (SO) group tends to be higher than that of corn oil (CO) group at all sacrifice time although the effect was not significant. However the body weight was decreased by carcinogen treatment. Serum triglyceride (TG) level of SO group was lower than that of CO group at 4,8 and 12 week. By carcinogen treatment, the serum TG level was significantly increased at 8 week but decreased at 12 week. Such effect was greater in CO feeding group. Serum total cholesterol level of SO group was also lower than that of CO group at all weeks. The change pattern for serum total cholesterol level by DEN, 2-AAF and PB treatment was similar irrespective of dietary oil. Interestingly at 8 week serum total cholesterol level was significantly decreased by carcinogen treatment in CO feeding group while not significantly decreased in SO feeding group. However at 12 week serum total cholesterol level was significantly increased by carcinogen treatment. Serum HDL-cholesterol levels of So group were lower than that of CO group. Serum HDL-cholesterol level of carcinogen untreated group was increased up to 6 week, and then remain constant after that. But HDL-cholesterol level of carcinogen treated group was lower than that of carcinogen untreated group at both 6 and 8 week and then increased at 12 week. Overall results indicate that fish oil not only has a lowering effect on both serum cholesterol and triglyceride level but also differs from corn oil in terms of the changes in serum lipid metabolism during hepatocarcinogenesis.
