Background: Trichophyton (T.) verrucosum is a dermatophyte causing ringworm in cattle, distributed worldwide. It can be responsible for various inflammatory lesions of skin and scalp. In Korea, kerion celsi caused by T. verrucosum was first reported at 1986 in the southeast province of Korea. Since then, many patients infected with T. verrucosum have been reported in Young-nam province. There are few long-term studies about epidemiological characteristics of T. verrucosum. Objectives: To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of T. verrucosum infections in Korea. Methods: A total of 224 patients were diagnosed as T. verrucosum infection by fungal culture from 1976 to 2015. The data were based on a retrospective survey of medical records. Results: The annual incidence of patients with T. verrucosum infection had been increasing since the report in 1986. The number of patients showed a peak in 1988. After 2000, the number of patients had been decreasing. Female to male ratio showed a 1.2-fold predominance of female infection. And more than 15-year-old group was 59.4% of total patients. T. verrucosum infection was most commonly seen in spring and was found predominantly in patients living in rural areas. Face was most frequently involved, followed by arms. Conclusion: These findings provide useful information for understanding of T. verrucosum infection and future dermatophytosis prospects.

In this study, stress-strain relationships were investigated by performing the confined extension tests for seven types of geosynthetics such as geotextiles, composite geosynthetics and geogrids. A comparison was made between unconfined and confined moduli for each geosynthetic material to quantify the soil confinement effect on stress-strain properties. A comparison was also made between the increase of moduli at the same strain level with the types of the geosynthetics to demonstrate the different stress-strain responses. Based on the result of the extension tests, the higher the confining stress, the larger the secant modulus of geosynthetics. The secant modulus at 5% strain is twice as much as that of 10% strain, especially there is a noticeable increasing of secant modulus for the two nonwoven geotextiles.

Pityrosporum 균속의 항진균제에 대한 연구

방용준,노병의,정병천 THE KOREAN SOCIETY FOR BIOMEDICAL LABORATORY SCIEN 1997 Journal of biomedical laboratory sciences Vol.3 No.1

Pityrosporum spp.은 1952년 Vanbreuseghem가 전풍환자에서 분리한 Pityrosporum spp.를 round form, elongated form 및 oval form으로 구분하고 이중 round form를 Pityrosporum(P.) orbiculare라 하고 oval form를 P.ovale에 해당된다고 하였다. 현재 Pityrosporum 균속에는 P. orbiculare, P. ovale, P. pachydermatis가 있고, 이중 P. orbiculare, P. ovale는 호지방성으로 배양시 일반적인 진균배지에 올리브 기름을 첨가하여 37℃에 배양하면 효모양의 집락을 형성하며 cholesterol, cholesterol ester가 첨가된 배지와 전풍환자에서는 균사를 볼 수 있다. Pityrosporum spp도 Candida spp.처럼 효모기(yeast phase)는 비병원성이고 균사기 (mycelial phase)에는 병원성이 있으며 균의 분리는 전풍환자에서 뿐만 아니라 건강한 성인에서도 90%이상 배양되는 인체에 정상적으로 존재하는 상재균이기도하다. 이러한 배양 조건 때문에 Pityrosporum 균속의 항진균제에 대한 연구는 드물다. 이에 현재 사용되고 있는 ketoconazole, itraconazole, selenium sulfide, sodium thiosulfate의 MIC검사를 한 결과 ketoconazole은 0.05∼0.8㎍ ml-¹로 itraconazole, selenium sulfite 및 sodium thiosulfate보다 ketoconazole이 MIC가 가장 낮게 나타난다. P. orbiculare의 대한 각 약제의 MIC를 비교해 보면 4종의 약제 전부에서 ketoconazole이 낮았으며, 건강인에서 분리한 균주가 전풍환자에서 분리한 균주보다 MIC50, MIC90에서 모두 낮았다. P. ovale에 대한 경구용 및 국소용 항진균제의 MIC50, MIC90에서도 P. orbiculare보다 현저히 낮은 MIC를 보였다. Meanwhile pityrosporum species as well as Candida species in yeast phase are not pathogenic, Pityrosporum in mycelial phase is pathogenic. Pityrosporum species can be isolated not only from tinea versicolor patients but also from ninety (90) percent of healthy persons. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ketoconazole against Pityrosporum spp. was 0.05∼0.8㎍ ml-¹and the MIC of ketoconazole was the lowest. Of itraconazole, selenium sulfide, sodium thiosulfate and ketoconazole had the lowest MIC against P. orbiculare. The P. orbiculare strains isolated from healthy persons were inhibited by lower MIC than those isolated from tinea versicolor patients. P. ovale strains were inhibited by lower MIC at MIC50 and MIC90 of oral and topical antifungal agents than P. orbiculare.

This study was conducted to investigate the concentration of the heavy metals among the soils and crops, and the difference compared with the unpolluted area from the radius distance from the ruined mine. Gubong Mind in Cheongyang-Gun, Chungnam-Do was selected as the ruined mine, which the Taechi-Myon district was selected ad the unpolluted control area. Pepper, welch onion, cabbage, radish and their soils were collected at the mine and unpolluted area, respectively. The concentration of heavy metals(Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn and As) were measured by ICP. In the soil sample, the average concentrations of all the heavy metals were significantly increased in the min area compared with those of the unpolluted area and significantly differed from the radius distance from ruined mine. In the crop sample, the average concentration of Pb, Zn and As metals were significantly increased in the mine area compared with those of the unpolluted area and all the heavy metals were significantly differed from the radius distance from ruined mine. There was a significant negative correlation among the soils from the radius distance from ruined mine and among the crops in the concentrations of all the heavy metals. There was a significant positive correlation between soils and crops in concentration of Pb, Cd, Zn and As metals. The results indicate the concentrations of heavy metals among the soils and crops at the ruined mine were saturated more than the unpolluted and the soil metals had spread to the crops. Consequently, we cannot leave the matter unsettled and its utilization must be studied to lower the contamination degree.

Purpose : As diet habits change and the elderly popuation increases conronary artery disease(CAD) has also increased. Recent ongoing studies on varous inflammatory indexes in acute coronary syndrome(ACS) are underway. Several study results have shown that total antioxidant status(TAS) was remarkably lower in unstable angina than in chronic stable angina and levels of interleukin-(IL-6), C-reactive protein(CRP), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), P-selectin were reported to be elevated in unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction(AMI). In our study, we studied and compared the level changes of cytokines and inflammatory indexes that play important roles inside the blood vessel. Methods : Study subjects were patients who were admitted and underwent coronary angiography at the cardiology department in Soonchunhyang university hospital. Subjects were divided into 4 groups, a control group, a stable angina and unstable angina group and an acute myocardial infarction group. The clinical findings, TAS, inflammatory cytokines(P-selectin, MCP-1, IL-6), anti-inflammatory cytokines(IL-10), Homocysteine and CRP levels in each group were measured and compared. Results : The total number of study participants was 86 patients, with 26 patients in the control group, 21 patients with stable angina, 15 patients with unstable angina, and 24 patients with AMI. There were significant differences in the TAS among the 4 grouops. 1.7±0.51 mmol/L, 1.6±0.60 mmol/L, 1.4±0.20 mmol/L, 1.4±0.29 mmol/L respectively. IL-6 levels also showed a significant difference between groups, averaging 0.8±2.47 pg/ml, 2.7±3.77 pg/ml, 6.8±10.63 pg/ml, 10.9±17.43 pg/ml respectively. Homocysteine levels averaged 8.0±2.47 pg/ml, 6.8±10.63 pg/ml, 10.9±17.43 pg/ml restectively. Homocysteine levels averaged 8.0±1.0 μmol/L in the control group, 14.3±5.14 μmol/L in patients with stable angina, 16.0±4.66 μmol/L in patients with unstable angina, and 17.3±10.08 μmol/L in AMI patients. Conclusion : Compared to the control group, the TAS levels were significantly lower in patients with unstable angina and AMI. there was no difference between the control group and those with stable angina. IL-6 and homocysteine levels were also higher in patients with unstable angina and AMI. Therefore we concluded that measurements of TAS, IL-6 and homocysteine are useful in measuring the inflammatory index of coronary artery diseases and may be important factors in predicting the states and prognosis of cardiovascular disorders.

Baculovirus Vector System에 의해 발현된 재조합 Pseudorabies Virus Major Capsid Protein의 면역원성

전무형,안동준,장경수,조용성,박종현,송재영,현방훈,안수환 충남대학교 생물공학연구소 1997 생물공학연구지 Vol.5 No.-

The recombinant pseudorabies virus major capsid protein (rMCP) was produced by expression of the MCP gene in Sf-9 cell using baculovirus transfer vector system. Following evaluation of the immunochemical properties of the rMCP, the immunogenicity of the recombinant subunit protiens were investigated in guinea pig and swine to obtain the preliminary guide line for the subunit vaccine using rMCP and gP50. It was proved that ultrasonication and 30% ammonium sulfate was most efficient to concentrate and purify the protein. The rMCP was safe in mice, guinea pigs and piglets. In guinea pigs, rMCP mixed with various adjuvants induced substantial degree of serum neutralizing antibody titers, but revealed incomplete protecivity against challenge. In swine, the combination of rMCP and gP50 showed the higher serum neutralizing antibody titers and cellular immune responses than rMCP alone. However, the protectivity was lower in comparison with the commercial gI-deleted inactivated vaccine. We expect these results to contribute to characterization of MCP gene of Korean isolate of PRV and to ultilize as preliminary information for prodution and evaluation of PRV recombinant subunit vaccines.

강릉남대천의 BOD를 1990년 4월부터 1993년 12월까지 모니터하였다. 강릉수력발전소의 발전수 방류 결과, 방수구와 홍제보의 BOD는 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 하구의 BOD는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 회귀분석에의하면 방수구와 홍제보의 매월 BOD 증가율은 공히 0.031mg/l이었으며, 하구에서의 매월 BOD 감소율은 0.071mg/l였다. The BODs of Namdaecheon Stream, Kangnung were monitored from April, 1990 to December, 1993. BODs at water outlet and Hongjebo were gradually increased, while BOD at estuary was decreased due to water discharged from Kangnung hydropower plant. The increasing rates in BOD at water outlet and Hongjebo were both 0.031mg/l month and the decreasing rate at esturary was 0.071mg/l month by linear regression analysis.

차재영,김효정,전방실,박진철,옥민,조영수 한국응용생명화학회 2003 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.46 No.3

발효식품 시료로부터 분리된 세균을 DPPH(α,α¹-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl) 전자공여능으로 항산화 활성을 측정하여 가장 활성이 강한 균주를 선별하여 형태학적, 생화학적, 생리학적 특성 및 16S rRNA 염기서열을 조사한 결과 Bacillus sp.으로 판명되어 FF-7로 명명하였다. DPPH 전자공여능법에 의한 Bacillus sp. FF-7이 생산하는 항산화물질의 최적 생산 배지조건은 탄소원 2% galactose와 질소원 1% tryptone 첨가였다. Bacillus sp. FF-7에 의해 생성된 항산화 물질의 활성을 DPPH 전자공여능, 흰쥐 각 조직 microsomal 실험계 및 linoleic acid 과 산화지질 실험계에서 malondialdehyde를 thiobarbituric acid(TBA)방법으로 측정하였다. 흰쥐 각 조직 microsomal 실험계에서 지질과산화에 대한 항산화 효과는 뇌(97.50%)>심장(79.95%)>신장(77.84%)>비장(77.47%)>고환(69.96%)>간장(62.45%) 순이였다. Linoleic acid의 과산화지질률 TBA법으로 측정한 결과 반응 4일째까지 억제 효과가 강하게 나타났으며, 동시에 대조구로 사용한 0.05% BHT 첨가구에서도 실험종료시까지 항산화 활성이 강하게 나타났다. The antioxidative activity of antioxidative substances produced from several bacterial strains isolated from fermented foods were tested by DPPH (α,α'-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity. One of the strains showing the highest antioxidative activity was identified as Bacillus sp. based on the morphological, biochemical, physiological characteristics, and 165 rRNA sequence, and named FF-7. The molt optimal medium condition for the production of antioxidative substance from Bacillus sp. FF-7 was 2% galactose as carbon source and 1% tryptone as nitrogen source. The antioxidative substance produced from FF-7 in these cultural medium was also tested by in vitro experimental models, the peroxidation of linoleic acid and the peroxidation of rat tissues microsomes by using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) for assay of free rnalondialdehyde production. The antioxidative avtivity against lipid peroxidation of rat tissues microsomes was shown in the following order; brain 97.50% > heart 79.95% > kidney 77.84% > spleen 77.47% > testis 69.96% > liver 62.45%. The antioxidative substance produced from FF-7 on linoleic acid peroxidation by TBA method was effectively inhibited during four days, and 0.05% BHT(butylated hydroxytoluene) used comparative control was also effectively inhibited. Results showed that the highest antioxidative activity by DPPH method of antioxidative substance produced from Bacillus sp. FF-7 was obtained by supplementing 2% galactose as carbon source and 1% tryptone as nitrogen source in cultured medium, this substance effectively inhibited the formation of TBARS in brain microsome in vitro system and in linoleic acid peroxidation.
