Kim, Kyong,Park, Min,Young Kim, Hye the Society for Free Radical Research Japan 2010 Journal of clinical biochemistry and nutrition Vol.46 No.1

<P>Chronic exposure to elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFA) causes β-cell dysfunction and may induce β-cell apoptosis in type 2 diabetes. The execution of β-cell apoptosis occurs through activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3), one of the active ingredients of ginseng saponins, has not been known about the effects on β-cell apoptosis mediated with FFA. The aims of this study were to investigate the <I>in vitro</I> protective effects of Rg3 on MIN6N8 mouse insulinoma β-cells against FFA-induced apoptosis, as well as the modulating effects on p44/42 MAPK activation. Our results showed that Rg3 inhibited the palmitate-induced apoptosis through modulating p44/42 MAPK activation. We conclude that Rg3 has the potential role in suppressing the progression of type 2 diabetes by inhibiting FFA-mediated loss of β-cells.</P>

The introduction of muscle relaxants was an epoch making event in the development of clinical anesthesia and their use has hecame essential to anesthesia practice. Vecuronium, one of the newest muscle relaxants, many advantages; it is .apid acting, non-accumulating, has minimals side reactions and is promptly antagonized by anticholinesterases. However, its pharmacological effect, like other conventional muscle relaxants depends upon the dose and is influenced br many factors including body temperature, blood flow, interaction with other drugs, antibiotics, diuretics and so forth, To obtain a dose·response relationship which is important for clinical use, the effect of the vecuronium in various doses on the neuromuscular block in rabbits was investigated. The results were as follows. 1) In the vecuronium 0.025 mg/kg group, maximal twitch depression was varied between 75 to 92% with a mean value of 84,9%. The spontaneous recovery index was 141.0 seconds (2.35 min). 2) In the vecuranium 7.75 mg/kg group, thmean maximum twitch depression and spontaneous recovery index were 98.4% and 218.6 seconds (3.64 min.) respectively. 3) In the vecuronium 7.1 mg/kg group, maximum twitch depression was 100% and the spontaneous recovery index was markedly prolonged to 627.8 seconds (10.35 min).

In this study, examined the cutting characteristics of alumuminum alloy AC8A-T6 that is used to present car piston materials. And in been holding materials machining empirically escape as result that experiment comparison changing the cutting speed and feed on various condition to choose efficient machining condition. The following results can be summarized from this research. 1.As the cutting speed decreased, principal cutting force and thrust cutting force is increased, and reason that cutting force interacts greatly in the low cutting speed is thought by result by BUE's stabilization. 2.The feed speed and cutting speed increase, friction factor is decrescent and the cause appeared the thrust cutting force is fallen than cutting force relatively because chip flow according to increase of the feed rate is constraint. 3.Though specific cutting resistance grows cutting area and the feed rate are few, the cause was expose that shear angle decreases by rake face of tool gets into negative angle remarkably as wear of a cutting tool or defect part of workpiece is cut. 4.Cutting speed do greatly depth of cut is slow, surface roughness examined closely through an experiment that becomes bad, and know that it can get good surface that process cutting speed because do feed rate by 0.1㎜/rev low more than 250m/min to get good surface roughness can.

<P>Some of the important issues of block copolymer (BCP) as an application to the potential low cost next generation lithography are thermal stability and deformation during pattern transfer process in addition to defect density, line edge/width roughness, etc. In this study, sulfur containing plasma treatment was used to modify the BCP and the effects of the plasma on the properties of plasma treated BCP were investigated. The polystyrene hole pattern obtained from polystyrene polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) was initially degraded when the polystyrene hole was annealed at 190 degrees C for 15 min. However, when the hole pattern was treated using sulfur containing plasmas using H2S or SF6 up to 2 min, possibly due to the sulfurization of the polystyrene hole surface, no change in the hole pattern was observed after the annealing even though there is a slight change in hole shapes during the plasma treatment. The optimized plasma treated polystyrene pattern showed the superior characteristics as the mask layer by showing better thermal stability, higher chemical inertness, and higher etch selectivity during plasma etching.</P>

<▼1><P>BP thinning was carried out using a monoenergetic Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam and the BP could be thinned without damaging the surface.</P></▼1><▼2><P>Black phosphorus (BP) is one of the most interesting two-dimensional (2D) layered materials due to its unique properties, including a band gap energy change from 0.3 eV (bulk) to 2.0 eV (monolayer) depending on the number of BP layers, for application in nanoelectronic devices. In general, 2D layered materials including BP have limitations in terms of synthesis due to the process factors such as time, temperature, <I>etc.</I>, and thus, a thinning technique from the bulk material to a 2D material needs to be used while controlling the removed layer thickness. In this study, layer-controlled thinning of BP was performed by using a controlled Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam method and the BP thinning characteristics were investigated. By using the near monoenergetic ion energy in the range of 45–48 eV, BP could be thinned with the thinning rate of ∼0.55 nm min<SUP>−1</SUP> down to bilayer BP without increasing the surface roughness and without changing the chemical binding states. The BP oxide on the pristine BP could also be successfully removed using the same Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam. 2D BP field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated with the thinned bilayer–10-layer BPs exhibited electrical characteristics similar to those of pristine BP FETs suggesting no electrical damage on the BP layers thinned by the controlled monoenergetic Ar<SUP>+</SUP> ion beam.</P></▼2>

본태성 고혈압 환자의 적혈구 Na+-Li+ Countertransport 와 적혈구막 지방산 구성에 대한 연구

이영우,고경수,고재준,박경수,김원배,한은경,김성연,조보연,이홍규,고창순,민현기 한국지질학회 1991 韓國脂質學會誌 Vol.1 No.1

Since the changes of Na^+-Li^+ countertransport (SLC) Vmax in essential hypertension have been reported. it has been known that hyperlipidemia could affect SLC independently of blood pressure. To reveal the relation between SLC Vmax and RBC membrane fatty acid conposition in the hypertensive patients, we divided patients into two groups according to their levels of SLC Vmax of erythrocytes(elevated SLC Vmax: n=4, normal SLC Vamx: n=6). The results were as follows: 1) There was no difference in body mate index, waist-hip ratio, blood pressure, serum cholesterol level between two groups. Triglyceride were higher in elevated group (278.0±180.0 ㎎/㎗) than normal group (124.3±60.7 ㎎/㎗) but there was no statistical significance. HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly lower in elevated group (32.0±3.6 vs. 44.8±8.9 ㎎/㎗) and free fatty acid concentrations, intracellular (RBC) Na^+ concentrations were similar between two groups. 2) The results of oral glucose tolerance test showed no differences in the glucose and insulin area, however the incremental insulin areas of elevated group (108.8±31.3, μU. min/㎖×10²) were significantly higher compared with those of normal group (56.3±20.7 μU. min/㎖×10²). 3) In the elevated group, palmitic acid proportions of erythrocytes (22.1±0.7%) were higher than those of normal group (20.1±0.7%) and SLC Vmax showed significant correlation (r=0.81, p$lt;0.01) with palmitic acid proportion. These results suggest that the abnormal lipid metabolism may change the RBC Na^+ transport system through the alterations of RBC membrane fatty acid composition.

김희승,윤건호,유양숙,오정아,송민선,신미옥,김경희,송복례 대한당뇨병학회 2002 임상당뇨병 Vol.3 No.1

연구배경 : 당뇨병 환자의 평균 재원기간을 단축시키고, 제한된 입원기간 내에서 질적인 면과 비용효과성을 고려한 총체적인 건강관리체계의 필요성이 요구됨으로써 생겨난 것이 당뇨병 표준진료지침(Critical Pathway: CP)이다. 현재 개발된 당뇨병 CP를 통한 진료가 환자의 당뇨병에 관한 지식을 개선시키고 이에 따라 장기적으로 당뇨병 환자의 혈당조절이 개선되었다는 과학적인 검증은 당뇨병 CP를 여러 병원에 정착시키기이전에 반드시 선행되어야 할 과제이다. 이에 본 연구는 2000년 3월부터 1년간 강남성모병원에 입원하는 당뇨병 환자를 대상으로 현재 개발된 1주일 CP를 적용한 실험군의 혈당, 당뇨병 관련 지식 및 재원일수가 대조군에 비하여 차이가 있는지를 조사하였다. 방법 : 1주일 CP를 적용한 실험군은 내과병동에 입원한 당뇨병 환자 89명이었고, 대조군은 기타병동에 입원한 당뇨병 환자 22명이었으며 CP를 적용하지 않았다. CP를 적용하기 전인 입원시에 실험군과 대조군의 공복혈당, 식후 2시간혈당, 당화혈색소 및 당뇨관련 지식을 측정하였고, 퇴원 시에 실험군과 대조군에게 공복혈당과 당뇨관련 지식을 재측정하고 재원일수를 파악하였다. 그리고 두 군에게 퇴원 3개월 후의 공복혈당, 식후 2시간 혈당 및 당화혈색소를 조사하였다. 결과 : 1) 실험군의 공복혈당은 입원 시 238.7: 1) 실험군의 공복혈당은 입원 시 238.7mg/dL에서 퇴원 시 139.4mg/dL로 감소하는 경향이었으나 퇴원 3개월 후에는 150.6mg/dL로 약간상승하는 경향을 보였다. 대조군은 입원 시 251.5mg/dL에서 퇴원 시 136.2mg/dL로 감소하는 경향이었으나, 퇴원 3개월 후에는 219.3mg/dL로 현저히 증가하는 경향이었다. 2) 실험군의 입원 시 식후 2시간 혈당은 312.5mg/dL에서 퇴원 3개월 후 248.5mg/dL로 감소하는 경향이었다. 대조군도 입원 시 식후 2시간 혈당이 300.1mg/dL에서 퇴원 3개월 후 262.5mg/dL로 감소하는 경향이었으나 실험군보다 감소의 폭이 적은 경향이었다. 3) 실험군과 대조군의 입원 시 당화혈색소는 각각 10.3%와 9.7%로 유의한 차이가 없었으나,퇴원 3개월 후 실험군은 7.5%로 대조군의 9.1% 보다 유의하게 감소하였다. 4) 실험군의 입원 시 당뇨지식 점수는 실험군이 12.1점 대조군은 12.0점으로 유의한 차이가 없었으나 퇴원 시는 실험군이 15.5점으로 대조군의 14.6점 보다 높은 경향이었다. 5) 재원일수는 실험군이 8.4일로 대조군의11.0일 보다 유의하게 적었다. 결론 : 따라서 당뇨병 환자를 위한 CP는 재원일수의 감소뿐만 아니라 환자의 자가관리에 대한 체계적인 교육과 개선의 기회를 가짐으로써 장기적인 혈당 조절의 향상을 도모할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이라고 생각한다. Background: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the critical pathway for the admitted patients with type 2 dia betes me llitus on glycemic control, the knowledge on the disease, and the length of hospital stay. Methods: 89 diabetic in-patients were applied with the 1 week critical pathwa which was consisted of intensive education program for self-management of diabetes me llitus such as glucose monitoring, excercise prescription, diet control, self-a djustment of the drugs and so on. The results were compared with 22 diabetic inpatients who were treated with conventional way. We assessed the effects of critical pathway on the degree of glycemic control, the knowledge on the disease, and the length of hospital stay. Results: Although fasting and postprandial 2 hours blood g lucose levels did not showed sta tistically significantd ifference between critical pathway group and conventional group on discharge , HbA1c was significantly decreased in critical pathwa group compared with the conventional group (7.5±1.8% vs 9.1±2.6%) on 3 months after discharge . Knowledge on the disease tended to increase in critical pathway group compared with the conventional group on discharge. The Length of hospital stay was significantly decreased in critical pathway group compared with the conventional group (8.4±2.8day vs 11.0±3.9da ) Conclusion: These results showed that critical pathway for the patients with diabetes mellitus might be a usefulway for improving the long term glycemic control through motivation, enhancing the knowledge on the disase as well as reducing the length of hospital stay.
