The HBV DNA Amounts in Serum Have No relationship with ALT level and Hetergeneous Population Coexits in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection. Proceedings of International Symposium on East-West Medicine, Seoul. 212-230, 1999. -Hepatitis B is caused by hepadnavirus. Hepatitis B virus replicates through 3.5kb pregenomic RNA intermediate which is regulated by core promoter. Pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus has been bilieved the result of host immune response. But recently many studies have reported that high level of viral replication caused by mutation in core promoter might result in severs hepatitis. But these studies were performed in vitro, not in vivo. So there is yet debate about which factor, viral of host factor, is more important in pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus. So we measured real viral replication level in 204 chronic hepatitis B patients by quantifying HBV DNA from sera by our novel PCR-based more sensitive method, and compared these results with ALT level measured from same sera, which indicates liver cell damage. Surprisingly there are no significant correlation between HBV DNA quantity and ALT level. Then we cloned core promoter region. In SSCP, we found that many viral mutants coexist in one patient. Base on SSCP result, we chose main viral core promoter type in each patients, which is thought to determine overall viral replication level in this patient. Main type of core promoter region of each 41 patients were directly sequenced. And with these we measured promoter activity by luciferase assay system and compared promoter activity with on another. We found tha there were some differences in promoter activity according to core promoter sequences. And we constructed replication-competent viral constructs with core promoter from 41 patients and Transfected these into HepG2 cell and measured HBV DNA by southern blot. There were also differences in HBV DNA quantity according to core promoter sequences. On these all results we investigated correlation between the effect of HBV core promoter on viral replication in vitro and HBN DNA quantity, ALT level from sera of each patients. We found there is no significant correlation among them. As a result, we concluded that in determining severity chronic hepatitis B patients, host factors of each patient is more important rather than replicative activity of virus itself.

Pressure sore is an area of ischemic tissue loss resulting from prolonged or often repeated pressure, usually over a bony prominence of body. Recently, the prevalence of pressure sore is major clinical problem, due to the increased number of patients with spinal cord injuries or longterm comatous patient after traffic, industrial accidents. The surgical principles in the treatment of pressure sores are total excision of the ulcer, scartissue, bursae, complete removal of all infected bone with recontouring of bony prominences to alleviate discrete pressure points and resurfacing and padding of the defects with healthy and well vascularized tissues. The sacral sore is the most common site for the development of pressure sore in Korea. We had experienced 14 cases who had received surgical treatments for sacral sores with transverse lumbosacral back flap. We obtained the following conclusions. Advantages 1)It is quick and easy procedure 2)The flap elevation itself is relatively bloodless 3)The donor defect is in a non-weight-bearing area 4)Muscle is not sacrified(possibly of importance in the ambulatory patient) 5)Surgical options are preserved in cases of recurrence(the flap itself may be reelevated and inset in some cases of recurrence) Disadvantages 1)It is lacking the bulky padding afforded by alternative musculocutaneous flaps 2)The vascularity of the flap tip is empirically less dependable than that of a musculocutaneous flap 3)The donor defect is large, cannot usually be closed primarily, and may prove of cosmetic concern

연구배경: 비만은 제2형 당뇨병의 중요한 병인이면서 죽상경화성 동맥질환의 위험인자인 인슐린 저항성, 지질대사 이상 및 고혈압의 원인으로도 인정되고 있다. 한편 비만에 의한 대사성 및 혈관 합병증은전신적 지방량의 증가보다 복강내 지방축적이 병인적 중요성을 가지고 있다고 한다 그러나 국내의 제2형 당뇨병 환자를 차상으로 비만과 이들 죽상경화증 위험인자와의 상관관계를 연구 조사한 성적은 많지않다. 이에 제2형 당뇨병 환자에서 전신적 비만과 복강내 지방 축적을 반영하는 각각의 신체계측지수들과 죽상경화증 위험인자와의 상관성을 검토함으로써 국내 제2형 당뇨병 환자의 비만도가 대사성 및 혈관성 합병증에 미치는 영향과 신체계측지수들의 임상적 가치를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법 : 제2형 당뇨병 환자 425명 (남자 196명, 여자 229명)을 차상으로 하였다 임상적 단백뇨가 있거나 인슐린 치료, 혈압강하제 또는 지질대사개선제를 복용하는 환자는 제외시켰다. 전신 비만은 체용적지수 그리고 피부두겹 두께로 산출한 체지방률을, 복강내 지방축적도는 허리둘레 및 요둔위비를 이용하였다. 죽상경화증의 위험인자로는 혈당 조절 정도를 나타내는 공복 혈당과 당화혈색소 농도, 인슐린 저항성을 나타내는 공복 인슐린 및 C-peptide 농도, 지질 대사 상태를 나타내는 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤 및 저밀도지단백 콜레스테롤 농도 그리고 수축기 및 이완기 혈압을 선택하였다. 전신 비만지수 및 복부 비만지수와 이들 위험인자와의 상관관계는 연령과 당뇨병 이환기간을 보정하고 편상관분석법을 사용하였다. 결과: 1 여성군에서 남성군에 비해 체용적지수(24.2 대 23.0kg/㎡, p<0.01) 및 체지방률(23.8 대13.5%, p<0.01)은 다소 높았으나 허리둘레 (87.0 대 85.8 cm)와 요둔위비 (0.96 대 0.96)는 차이가 없었다. 2. 인슐린 저항성을 반영하는 공복 인슐린 및 C-peptide 농도는 체용적지수. 체지방률, 허리둘레 및 요둔위비가 커질수록 증가하는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(상관차수 0.21∼0.42, 모두 p<0.05). 3. 혈청 지질중에는 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤만이 남성 환자군에서 비만지수들과 약한 음의 상관성을 보이는 경향이었고, 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방농도는 상관성이 없었다. 4. 수축기 및 이완기 혈압은 남성군에서만 체용적지수. 체지방률, 허리둘레 및 요둔위비가 커질수록 상승하는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(상관차수 0.21∼0.33, 모두 p.0.05). 결론. 국내 제2형 당뇨병 환자들의 전신 비만도 및 복부 비만도가 서구인에 비해 심하지는 않으나 포도당 대사, 인슐린 저항성, 지질 대사 및 고혈압에 위해한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수준에 이르고 있으며 이는 결국 죽상경화증의 위험인자로도 작용하게 될 것임을 시사한다고 하겠다. 그리고 신체계측을 통한전신 비만 및 복부 비만 지수 모두가 당뇨병 및 죽상경화증의 위험을 간접적으로 예견하는 유용한 척도가 될 수 있을 것이다. Background: Obesity is the powerful risk factor for type 2 diabetes and also associated with a significantly increased risk of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Although obese individuals have these diseases, the relationship between obesity and these diseases was not certain until regional fat distribution was taken into account. Reports about the relationship between obesity and the risk factors of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetics in Korea are very rare. To evaluate the relative importance of anthropometric indices on the development of atherosclerosis and obesity-related metabolic and vascular complications, the correlations of these indices with the risk factors for atherosclerosis were studied. Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=425, male 196, female 229) who not used antihy- pertensives or anti-lipidemic agents were investigated. Body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (%BF) estimated by skinfold-thickness in assessing generalized adiposity, and waist circumference (Wc) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in assessing visceral adiposity were taken as anthropometric indices. We included the indicators of glycemic control (fasting blood sugar and HbAlc), insulin resistance (fasting serum insulin and C-peptide concentrations), lipid abnormalities (serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol concentrations), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure as risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. Partial correlations of the anthropometric indices with those risk factors were investigated with adjustment of age and duration of illness. Results: 1. BMI and %BF in female patients group were higher than those in male (24.2 vs 23.0 kg/㎡, 23.8 vs 13.5%, respectively, p<0.01 in all) although Wc and WHR were similar between both groups. In general, both body adiposity and abdominal obesity in them were much lower than in the Western. 2. Serum insulin and C-peptide levels were positively correlated with BMI, %BF, Wc and WHR (r=0.21~42, p<0.05 in all). 3. Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL- cholesterol were not correlated with any anthropometric indices. A weak negative correlation of serum HDL-cholesterol with these indices was found in male patients group. 4. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were positively correlated with all these indices only in male group (r=0.21~33, p<0.05 in all). Conclusion: These results suggested that the severity of both generalized and visceral adiposity in these patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were only mild but adiposity with abdominal distribution of body fat in diabetes mellitus could be a significant risk factor of developing atherosclerosis. In clinical practice, these anthropometric indices indicating general adiposity and abdominal obesity may provide useful information for predicting disease risks, especially of diabetes and cardio- vascular disease indirectly.

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia(CEP) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by chronic infiltration of the lung with eosinophils. It presents with profound systemic symptoms comprising fever, night sweats, weight loss, dyspnea and blood eosinophilia with nonsegmental air-space consolidation confined to the outer third of the lung, the "photographic negative of pulmonary edema". Histopathologic features of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia are intraalveolar and interstitial infiltrations with eosinophils, histiocytes, giant cells, scattered lymphocytes and plasma cells. Glucocorticoid therapy cause prompt resolution of symptoms as well as disappearans of blood eosinophils, elevated serum Ig E levels and the roentgenographic lesions. Infrequent radiographic findings include nodular infiltrates, consolidations, cavitations, atelectasis and pleural effusions. Deaths from CEP although rare, have been reported, but the majorities of CEP have benign courses and do not need a therapy with ventilator. We report a case of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, which had a sudden course associated with diffuse pneumonic consolidations on the both lung and bilateral pleural effusion.

There exists a major impediment to learning electricity which may illuminate why direct presentation of scientists' ideas is too aggressive a strategy. This impediment lies in thinking that electricity is used up and in envisaging the light bulb as a consumer. This view is based on a powerful idea which summarises much of our experience; it declares that 'things get used up', 'you cannot get something for nothing', and 'intuitive thinking'. To replace this view with scientific view, we made the analogy model. It is suggested that the analogy model is more effective in teaching electricity circuits than conventional teaching method.

A Fast Response Integrated Current-Sensing Circuit for Peak-Current-Mode Buck Regulator

Jung-Woo Ha,Byeong-Ha Park,Bai-Sun Kong,Jung-Hoon Chun 대한전자공학회 2014 Journal of semiconductor technology and science Vol.14 No.6

An on-chip current sensor with fast response time for the peak-current-mode buck regulator is proposed. The initial operating points of the peak current sensor are determined in advance by the valley current level, which is sensed by a valley current sensor. As a result, the proposed current sensor achieves a fast response time of less than 20 ㎱, and a sensing accuracy of over 90%. Applying the proposed current sensor, the peak-current-mode buck regulator for the mobile application is realized with an operating frequency of 2 ㎒, an output voltage of 0.8 V, a maximum load current of 500 ㎃, and a peak efficiency of over 83%.

Imatinib Mesylate plus Hydroxyurea Chemotherapy for Cerebellar Meningioma in a Belgian Malinois Dog

JUNG, Hae-Won,LEE, Hee-Chun,KIM, Ji-Hyun,JANG, Hyo-Mi,MOON, Jong-Hyun,SUR, Jung-Hyang,HA, Jeongim,JUNG, Dong-In The Japanese Society of Veterinary Science 2014 The Journal of veterinary medical science Vol.76 No.11

<P><B>ABSTRACT</B></P><P>An 8-year-old intact male Belgian Malinois, weighing 37.2 kg, was referred for evaluation due to right side facial paresis, ataxia and a 2-month history of decreased cognitive ability. Physical and neurological examinations revealed mild depression, left-sided head tilt, right-sided facial paresis and ataxia. A well-demarcated, broad-based cerebellar mass and hyperostosis were found on CT imaging of the brain. Based on these CT findings, a cerebellar meningioma was strongly suspected. Hydroxyurea and prednisolone were administered; after 4 weeks, there was reduction in mass size as compared to initial CT results. However, the mass size was found to have grown 6 weeks after hydroxyurea treatment. We then prescribed a combination of imatinib mesylate and hydroxyurea. Two weeks following combination treatment, the mass size had reduced significantly. The mass continuously decreased in size until the patient died during anesthesia. Cerebellar transitional meningioma was confirmed by histopathologic examination. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first reported case of imatinib mesylate plus hydroxyurea therapy for the treatment of meningioma in veterinary medicine.</P>

Incidence of post-transplant glomerulonephritis and its impact on graft outcome

( Jung Nam An ),( Jung Pyo Lee ),( Yun Jung Oh ),( Yun Kyu Oh ),( Jong Won Ha ),( Dong Wan Chae ),( Yon Su Kim ),( Chun Soo Lim ) 대한신장학회 2012 Kidney Research and Clinical Practice Vol.31 No.3

Background: Herein, the significance of post-transplant glomerulonephritis (PTGN) has been revisited to investigate whether PTGN induces allograft failure. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of PTGN and its association with allograft failure, as well as to analyze the risk factors for PTGN. Methods: Among the 996 Korean patients who underwent kidney transplantation in a multicenter cohort from 1995 to 2010, 764 patients were enrolled in this study. Results: The incidence rate of PTGN was 9.7% and 17.0% at 5 and 10 years of follow-up, respectively. PTGN was diagnosed in 17.8% of the recipients with results of biopsy tests or clinical diagnosis identifying glomerular diseases as the underlying cause, compared with 0.0%, 4.4%, 4.9%, 5.5%, and 5.7% of the recipients with renal vascular diseases, renal interstitial diseases/pyelonephritis/uropathy, diabetic renal disease, hereditary renal diseases, and diseases with unknown etiologies, respectively. Allograft survival was significantly decreased in patients with PTGN. PTGN was associated with a fourfold increase in graft failure with a hazard ratio of 7.11 for both acute rejection and PTGN. Results of the risk factor analysis for PTGN revealed that the underlying glomerular renal diseases and treatment methods using drugs such as tacrolimus and basiliximab significantly increased PTGN development, after adjusting for other risk factors. Conclusion: We conclude that PTGN is strongly associated with poor kidney allograft survival. Therefore, optimal management of recurrent or de novo GN should be the critical focus of post-transplant care.
