During the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest in the impact of oral health on atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD). To date, some periodontal pathogens including Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) have been reported to be relevant to CVD. Porphyromonas endodontalis (P. endodontalis), which shares approximately 87% sequence homology with P. gingivalis, is mostly found within infected root canals. However, recent studies reveal that this pathogen also resides in the dental plaque or periodontal pocket in patients with periodontitis. It has been shown that P. endodontalis invades human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMC). To evaluate whether P. endodontalis can participate in the progression of atherosclerosis and CVD, we examined the changes in transcriptional gene expression profiles of HCAEC responding to invaion by P. endodontalis in this study. The following results were obtained. 1. Porphyromonas endodontalis was invasive of HCAEC. 2. According to the microarray analysis, there were 625 genes upregulated more than two-folds, while there were 154 genes downregulated by half. 3. Upregulated genes were relevant to inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, coagulation and immune response. Enhanced expression of MMP-1 was also noticeable. 4. The transcription profiles of the 10 selected genes examined by real-time PCR agreed well with those observed in the microarray analysis. Thus, these results show that P. endodontalis presents the potential to trigger and augment atherosclerosis leading to CVD. 본 연구에서는 Porphyromonas endodontalis와 죽상경화증 및 심혈관질환과의 관계를 알아보기 위해, P. endodontalis가 사람의 관상동맥 내피세포에 침투했을 때 나타나는 유전자 발현의 변화를 microarray와 real-time PCR로 측정하였고, 발현이 증가된 유전자 중에서 죽상경화증과 연관된 유전자들이 관련 KEGG pathway 상에서 유의성 있는 영향을 미치는지를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Porphyromonas endodontalis는 사람의 관상동맥 내피세포에 침투하였다. 2. Microarray 분석결과, 대조군보다 발현이 2배 이상 증가된 유전자는 625개였고, 1/2이하로 감소된 유전자는 154개였다. 3. 발현이 2배 이상 증가된 유전자 중에는 염증성 cytokine 및 chemokine, 세포자멸사, 혈액응고와 면역반응 관련 유전자들이 포함되었다. 4. Microarray 분석결과를 확인하기 위해 발현이 2배 이상 증가된 유전자 중에서 10개의 유전자를 선택하여 real-time PCR을 시행하였고, 그 결과 microarray에서와 마찬가지로 발현 정도가 대조군보다 모두 높게 나타났다. 따라서 P. endodontalis가 사람의 관상동맥 내피세포에 만성적으로 작용했을 때, 심혈관질환에서 중요한 부분을 차지하는 죽상경화증을 유발하는 위험 요소 중의 하나로 작용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이와 관련된 자세한 기전을 이해하기 위해서는 앞으로 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Conventional CMOS transistors for high performance with a 70-nm physical gate length were fabricated to evaluate the 130-nm-technology node. In this work, we enhanced the performance of transistors by using high-dose P+ implantation, a plasma-nitridation gas oxide, a hydrogen prebake (HPB), and a mechanical stress layer. We also reduced the overlap capacitances by using an oset spacer. The NMOS and PMOS have drive currents equal to 880 A/m and 420 A/m, respectively, with Ioff = 10 nA/m at Vdd = 1.2 V. The unit delay of the ring oscillator (1 fan-out) was 11.5 ps.

We report three cases of coincidental cerebral aneurysm with pituitary tumor. In our hospital the incidence of such cases was 4.4% of 68 patients with pituitary tumors from March, 1970 to Octerber, 1990. Case No. 1 was a 47-year-old female suffering from progressive loss of visual acuity. Preoperative brain C-T scan and angiographies revealed unruptured posterior communicating aneurysm with pituitary tumor. Case No. 2 was a 39-year-old male suffering from headache after head trauma with acromegaly. Preoperative brain C-T scan and angiographies appeared unruptured anterior communicating aneurysm and pituitary tumor. Case No. 3 was a 62-year-old female suffering progressive loss of visual acuity and headache. Left middle cerebral artery aneurysm and pituitary tumor were found by preoperative brain C-T scan and angiographies. All cases were operated by transcranial route and performed tumor removal after primary clipping of aneurysm. Postoperatively remained tumor of all cases was treated by radiosurgery sucessfully.

<P>Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been reported to be critical in the initiation, maintenance, and progression of cancers. The expression of stem cell markers, such as podoplanin (PDPN), CD133, and nestin, may have been correlated with malignant progression. However, the effects of CSCs and stem cell markers on clinical outcomes in cancer patients remain unclear. In this study, we assessed the prognostic roles of glioma CSCs (gCSCs) isolation and stem cell markers in patients with primary glioblastoma (pGBM). A cohort of 39 patients with pGBM was separated into two groups, those positive or negative for gCSCs, and the correlation between gCSC and patient survival was evaluated. We observed significantly different cumulative survival (<I>P</I> = 0.045) when comparing patients positive for gCSCs patients and negative for gCSC. Among the patients positive for gCSCs, we observed no significant differences in survival between those whose gCSCs were each positive or negative for PDPN, CD133, or nestin. This study strongly supports the prognostic value of gCSCs isolation on the survival of patients with pGBM.</P>

<P>The presence of glioma stromal mesenchymal stem?like cells (GS-MSLCs) in tumors from glioma patients has been previously reported. The mechanisms through which these cells function as a part of the glioma microenvironment, however, remain incompletely understood. We investigated the biological effects of GS-MSLCs on glioma cancer stem cells (gCSCs), testing the hypothesis that GS-MSLCs alter the biological characteristics of gCSCs. GS-MSLCs and gCSCs were isolated from different glioblastoma (GBM) specimens obtained from patients. In in vitro experiments, gCSCs were cultured alone or co-cultured with GS-MSLCs, and gCSCs cell counts were compared between the two groups. In addition, two groups of orthotopic GBM xenografts in mice were created, one using gCSCs from the monoculture group and one using gCSCs isolated from the co-culture group, and tumor volume and survival were analyzed. Furthermore, in vivo proliferation, apoptosis and vessel formation were examined using immunohistochemical analyses. In vitro cell counts for gCSCs co-cultured with GS-MSLCs increased 3-fold compared to gCSCs cultured alone. In orthotopic xenograft experiments, mice injected with gCSCs isolated from the co-culture group had significantly larger tumor volume, measured on day 40 after injection, and their survival times were shorter. Immunohistochemical analysis showed increased tumor expression of CD31, indicative of enhanced microvessel formation in mice injected with gCSCs co-cultured with GS-MSLCs compared to mice injected with gCSCs cultured alone. However, proliferation (PCNA) and apoptosis (TUNEL) markers showed no significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion, GS-MSLCs may influence the biological properties of gCSCs, shifting them towards a more aggressive status; moreover, increased angiogenesis may be a critical component of this mechanism.</P>

<P>Adiponectin has been associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus and possibly fetal growth. Our aim was to assess the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the adiponectin gene (<I>ADIPOQ</I>) and the birth sizes. We investigated four SNPs of <I>ADIPOQ</I> (rs182052, rs2241766, rs1501299, and rs266729) and birth height and weight in 237 healthy full-term neonates. The neonates with the rs182052 G allele had a greater birth weight (<I>p</I> = .043 in the dominant model) and a higher ponderal index (<I>p</I> = .028 in the additive model). The rs2241766 G allele was associated with a greater birth weight (<I>p</I> = .016 in the recessive model). In a logistic regression analysis, the homozygotes for the rs182052 G allele and those for the rs2241766 G allele showed a significant association with a greater birth weight above 90 percentile (OR 2.75, 95% CI 1.13-6.70 and OR 5.15, 95% CI 1.66-15.99, respectively). In conclusion, we found an association between rs182052 and rs2241766 and birth weight and ponderal index among healthy neonates and suggested that adiponectin might have some roles in fetal growth.</P>

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is rare, typically benign condition characterized by multiple smooth muscle, myofibroblasticand fibroblastic nodules arising in the pelvic and abdominal cavities in women. LPD is observed in reproductive age group especially and often mimics carcinomatosis grossly but has benign histologic feature and good prognosis. We report a case of leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata arising after laparoscopic myomectomy with review of literature.
