우라늄 피폭후 효소활성도가 내부피폭의 biomarker로서의 가능성을 연구하기 위하여 수서생물인 잉어9Caprinus carpio)의 복강내 우라늄 투여시 간조직에서 일어나는 여러가지 효소계의 변화를 조사하였다. 이러한 효소활성도의 변화는 우라늄 내부피폭의 biomarker로서 가능성을 가지고 있으며 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 6일째까지 우라늄을 주사하여 적출한 간에서의 전체단백질량은 계속 감소하고 있다. 2) 세포내의 lysosome내에 함유하고 있는 acid protease와 β-glucuronidase의 활성도는 6일째 투여후까지 활성도가 감소하고 있다. 3) Alkaline phosphatase의 경우 6일째 우라늄 투여후까지 증가하고 있으며 반대로 acid phosphatase의 경우 6일째 우라늄 투여후까지 활성도가 급격히 증가하였고 glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase의 활성도는 완만하게 증가하고 있다. 4) Creatine kinase의 활성도는 완만한 감소를 보이고 있으며 malate dehydrogenase는 첫번 우라늄 투여후에 활성도가 급격히 감소하였고 3일째 우라늄 투여후에는 활성도가 거의 나타나지 않았다. We examined various enzyme activity changes by intraperitioneal injection uranium in the carp liver. These enzyme activity changes can be used as biochemical indicators of internal exposure to uranium. The results were followings ; 1) Total protein concentration decreased by intraperitoneal injection in the carp liver. 2) Lysosomal acid protease and β-glucronidase activities increased in the liver until sixth intraperitoneal injection of uranium, but lysosomal acid phosphatase activities decreased in the liver until the sixth injection of uranium. 3) Alkaline phosphatase activities sharply increased and Glutamate oxaloacetate Transaminase activities steadily decreased in the liver until the sixth injection of uranium. 4) Creatine %kinase activities steadily decreased and malate dehydrogenase activities sharply decreased in the liver after the primary injection of uranium. Any malate dehydrogenase activities was not detected after sixth injection of uranium.

Background: In most solid tumors, the CD34 antigen has not been detected, so positive selection of CD34+ cells may reduce tumor cell contamination and the CD34+ cells are capable of reconstituting hematopoiesis. We tried CD34+ cell transplantation in two patients. Method: CD34+ cells from chemotherapy + G-CSF mobilized PBPCs or bone marrow were positively selected with an avidin-biotin immunoadsorption column (CEPRATE SC system). Case 1. One course of chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide(200㎎/㎡) and etoposide (4.2g/㎡), combined with G-CSF(5㎍/㎏) S.C. was used in a relapsed lymphoma patient. This patient responded to the induction chemotherapy. CD34+ cells from harvested bone marrow were selected by the CellPro immunoadsorption column. The total number of mononuclear cells loaded onto the CellPro was 2.4×10^(8)/㎏, with 1.1% CD34+ cells. After column separation, the total number of positively selected cells was 5.16×10^(6)/㎏. The number of CFU-GM was 76.8×10⁴/㎏. This patient was treated with melphalan (140㎎/㎡) and TBI (1200cGy) and the positively selected CD34+ cells were infused. The time to neutrophil recovery greater than 0.5×10^(9)/L was 19 days and the time to platelet recovery greater than 50×10^(9)/L was 21 days. Case 2. Two courses of mobilizing chemotherapy were given 4 weeks apart using taxol(210㎎/m2) and adriamycin(60㎎/m2), combined with G-CSF(5㎍/㎏) S.C. in a breast cancer patients with 7 axillary node metastasis. CD34+ cells from each single leukapheresis product were selected by the CellPro immunoadsorption column. In the first collection, the total number of nucleated cells was 4.4×10^(8)/kg, with 0.42% CD34+ cells. In the second collection, the total number of nucleated cell was 2.8× 10^(8)/㎏ with 0.43% CD34+ cells. After colum separation, the total numbers of collected cells were 4.0×106/kg and 4.8×10^(6)/kg, the total number of CD34+ cells were 1.2×10^(6)/㎏ and 0.82×10^(6)/㎏. Colonogenic assays of positively selected CD34+ cells gave rise to myeloid erythroid, and multilineage colonies, with a median of 190 CFU-GM, 190 BFU-E, and 164 CFU-GEMM per 1×10³ adsorbed cells, respectively. High-dose chemotherapy with cumulative doses of 40mg/㎡ mitoxantrone, 750mg/㎡ thioptepa, and 1000mg/㎡ carboplatin was administered. Positively selected CD34+ cells were rapidly infused 24 hours after the end of high-dose chemotherapy. The time to neutrophil recovery greater than 0.5×10^(9)/L was 16 days and the time to platelet recovery greater than 50×10^(9)/L was 20 days.

중증 재생불량성 빈혈 환자에서 신우신염에 대한 광범위항생제치료 중에 속발한 Saccharomyces cerevisiae 진균감염 1예

김철희,이정호,이정찬,강정현,곽상혁,배광봉,김현수,김종숙,조덕연,김삼용 충남대학교 의과대학 지역사회의학연구소 1999 충남의대잡지 Vol.26 No.1

Most patients with aplastic anemia who do not respond to immunosuppressive treatment or are not candidates for bone marrow transplantation die of infection or bleeding. The neutropenia in acute leukemia, aplastic anemia, or occurring subsequently to chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation increases susceptibility to infection. In general, the number of infectious episodes correlate with the degree and duration of neutropenia. Global immunosuppression produced by conditioning for bone marrow transplantation or graft-versus-host disease, is associated with unusual bacterial and fungal pathogens, or serious viral and protozoan infections. In addition, repeated treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics is associated with the emergence of resistant organisms and fungal diseases because of the altered microbial microenvironment of the host. The incidence of invasive fungal infection caused by Saccharomycetes eerevisiae in immunosuppressed patients is very rare, compared with that of infection by candida or aspcrgillus species. Cases of Saccharomycetes cerevisiae fungemia occurring in the course of treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics are reported in patients with extensive burn or with prosthetic valve endocarditis. We experienced a case of urinary tract infection by Saccharomycetes cerevisiae in a 27-year old female patient with severe aplastic anemia. We report the case with a review of relevant literatures.

김기홍,최종수,송준영,김상원,김수찬,안성구,성열오,서순봉 대한화학요법학회 1995 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.13 No.2

저자들은 새로 개발된 alyllamine계 항진균제인 터비나핀의 발톱의 조갑백서에서 치료 효과, 내약성 및 부작용 등을 평가하기 위해 triazole계의 이트라코나졸과 이중 맹검으로 비교 조사하였다. 치료방법은 터비나핀은 250㎎/days로 12주간, 이트라코나졸은 100㎎/day로 124주간 복용하고 양군 모두 치료 시작 후 36주까지 추적 관찰하였다. 조사방법은 조갑진균증 환자에 대해 치료에 대해 설명후 동의서를 받고 장기간 치료가 부적합한 경우를 제외한 149명(터비나핀군 74명, 이트라코나졸군 75명)이 치료를 받았으며 이중 25명이 탈락하고 13명이 부작용등으로 치료를 중지하여 111명(터비나핀군 51명, 이트라코나볼군 60명)이 치료를 완료하였다. 1. 임상적인 소견은 점진적으로 호전되었으며, 치료 시작후 36주에는 병변조갑의 감소 비율로 볼때 터비나핀군은 51명중 완전치료가 24(47.0%), 76%이상 호전이 18명(35.3%), 51%~75% 호전이 6명(11.8%), 26~50% 호전이 2명 (3.9%), 25% 이하의 호전을 보인 예는 1명(2.0%)였다. 이트라코나졸군은 60명중 완전치료가 27(45.0%), 76% 이상 호전이 14명(23.3%), 51%~75%호전이 9명(15.0%), 26~50% 호전이 2명(3.9%), 25% 이하의 호전을 보인 예는 1명(2.0%)였다. 이트라코나졸군은 60명중 완전치료가 27(45.0%), 76% 이상 호전이 14명(23.3%), 51%~75%호전이 9명(15.0%), 26~50% 호전이 7명 (11.7%), 25% 이하의 호전을 보인예는 3(5%)였다. 2. KOH도말 검사에서 음성 소견을 보인 비율은 터비나핀은 24주 후 50예(98.0%)였으며, 36주후에는 모두 음성을 나타내었고, 이트라코나졸은 치료 24주 후 51예(85.0%)였고, 36주후에는 59예(98.3%)에서 음성을 나타내었다. 진균배양 검사에서는 치료 12주 후에 터비나핀군은 51예중 44예에서 (86.3%), 이트라코나졸군은 60예중 52예에서 각각 음성이었으며(86.7%), 치료 36주 후에는 양군 모두에서 음성이었다. 3. 내약성은 양군 모두 시간이 지나면서 증가하였으며, 터비나핀은 moderate이상이 98~·00%였고, 이트라코나졸은 moderate이상이 96.7~100%였다. 4. 부작용은 위장관 증상이 가장 많았고 터비나핀은 23명, 이트라코나졸은 37명이었고, 2명, 3명에서 각각 일시적인 간효소치의 상승이 있었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 조갑진균증의 치료에 터비나핀 1일 250㎎씩 12주간의 경구투여는 치료율, 안정성 및 부작용에서, 추천할 만한 치료법이라 생각된다. In this randomized double-blind trial on multicenter study, the efficacy of the new antifungal agent, terbinafine(Lamlsil) was compared with the triazole antifungal agent, itraconazole, in the treatment of patients with onychomychosis. One hundred and forty nine patients(74 terbinafine, 75 itraconazole) with onychomlychosis were enrolled. Twenty five patients were lost to follow up and 13 reported adverse reaction with premature discontinuation of therapy. And 111 patients were eligible for follow-up until 36 weeks after starting the treatment. Fifty one patients received Lamisil(terbinafine) 250mg daily for twelve weeks (terbinafine group) and 50 received itraconazole 100mg daily for 24 weeks (itraconazole group). They were checked clinical symptoms(onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis, paronychyal inflammation, color change, brittleness, ridging, normal length of nails) and mycological improvement with KOH wet mount and culture during the study. Clinical improvements were slow but progressive. In terbinafine group of 5t patients, 24 patients(47.0%) were completely cleared and 18 patients(35.3%) were improved more than 76%, and 6 patients(11.8%) were improved in 53-75%. In itraconazole group of 60 patients, 27 patients(45.0% ) were completely cleared and 14 patients(23-3%) were improved more than 76%, and 9 patients(150%) were improved in 51-75% . In mycologic study, cure rate of the terbinafine group showed all negative at 36 week after the treatment while ittraconazole group showed all negative in culture but negative KOH in 98.3%. Adverse reactions and tolerability of both the drugs were good and net different significantly. All these findings suggest that the efficacy of Lamisil(terbinafine) 250mg daily for 12 weeks in the treatment of onychomycosis was similar to that of itraconazole 100mg daily for 24 weeks.

김상훈,김학렬,박상학,김재민,박찬원 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2002 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.27 No.2

Background and Objectives : As the authors experienced 2 cases of male genital self-mutilation while psychotic, investigated with psychiatric points of view including general and psychiatric characteristics, family background, Psychodynamics of genital self-mutilation in Korea. Materials and Methods : Among total 20 cases of the genital self-mutilation, 4 accident-caused cases were excluded. Results : Epidemiological data showed that the most of the genital self-mutilation cases are twenties(56.3%); most are sing1e(68.5%) and the lower socio- economic c1asses(43.8%), the proportion of believers(31.2%) are somewhat larger than of those don't have any religions; most(50.0%) have no occupation. The familial background appeared that the most of them have grown up under widow mother's care(45.5%) and in some other places than their own homes(45.5%) and that there are relatively more first son (45.5%) among them. In terms of the mutilation types and instruments, transection of penis type were committed most frequent1y(93.8%), mostly by knives(68.8%). The formal diagnoses were mainly schizophrenia(87.5%) and schizoid personality disorder(12.5%). Major symptoms at the time of the act were delusion and/or hallucmation(62.5%) and depressive state(43.7%). Psychodynamically, lots of cases could be explained as to punish failures in the male ro1e(21.9%), related to re1igiosity(15.6%), and the wish to be or delusion of being fema1e(12.5%). Conclusion : Psychiatric investigation on the cases of genital self-mutilation reported in Korea suggests that the risk factors for the selfUmutilation on the genitalia are the deprivation of the early experiences required for personality development, Presence of psychotic disorder or depression, identity confusion, and the guilty feelings toward sexual aggression.

클럽 샤프트(Club Shaft) 특성에 따른 골프 스윙(Golf Swing)동작 분석

김성일,김기형,김형수,이현섭,김진욱,안찬규,김희진 한국운동역학회 2002 한국운동역학회지 Vol.12 No.2

본 연구는 클럽 샤프트의 대표적인 재질인 그라파이트(graphite)의 유연한(flexible) 클럽 샤프트(club shaft)의 특성에 따라 피험자가 운동학적(kinematics) 요인이 되는 관절의 각변위, 각속도, 각가속도, 클럽헤드의 속도와 가속도와 같은 변인들이 어떻게 적응하는지 비교 분석하여 보다 효율적인 드라이버 선택에 도움을 주며 샤프트 특성에 따른 신체관절의 움직임에 대한 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 고속 카메라 2대의 속도는 500fps로 하였고 각 regylar,stiff, x-stiff, 자신의 클럽을 포함 각 4개의 클럽을 사용하여 각 클럽당 3번씩 촬영하였으며 목표방향에서 20m이상 벗어나는 경우의 촬영은 다시 촬영하였다. 본 연구에서는 디지타이징(digitizing)을 신체 9개 마커는 강체로 가정된 클럽과 신체분절 모델로 정의하였으며 2 대의 카메라(500fps)로부터 얻은 avi화일을 컴퓨터에 저장하고 자료로부터 Butterworth 6th order recursive digital filter를 사용하여 1차 자료를 smoothing 하고 DLT를 이용하여 3차원 좌표를 구성하도록 한다. 좌표값을 얻기 위하여 kwon3d v3.0을 이용하였다. 본 실험은 피험자 스스로 클럽의 특성에 따라 스윙의 속도를 달리 하기 때문에 스윙의 시간이 달라지며 어느 정도 클럽이 강성에 따라 스윙시간이 빨라지는 결과로 나타났다. 이것은 피험자가 샤프트가 강성(stiffness)에 따라 스윙 속도를 빨리 하게 되는 원인이 되는 것으로 생각된다. 어깨의 각변위는 클럽이 regular의 경우 임팩트에서 각속도를 계속 유지하고 있으며 stiff, x-stiff의 경우에는 어깨의 움직임이 임팩트에서 급격하게 감소되는 것을 알 수 있다. 이것은 팔의 동작과 클럽의 힘을 크게 하기 위한 동작으로 생각된다. 어깨 각속도는 클럽이 stiff할수록 각속도가 큰 감속하는 것으로 나타났다. 손목속도는 regular 클럽의 경우 손목의 감속이 늦게 되고 임팩트에서 손목의 감속이 적게 하는 것으로 나타났으며 stiff와 x-stiff의 클럽에서 임팩트 시에 순간적인 감가속으로 인해 클럽의 속도를 증가시키고 있다. 임팩트 시에 손목의 감가속은 클럽헤드의 임팩트 시 속도를 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 클럽헤드는 regular 클럽이 임팩트전에는 속도 증가가 커지는 결과와 일치된 결과를 보이고 있다. The purpose of this study was to find the rational method to analyze golf swing with specific property of club shaft. Three subjects were filmed by two high speed digital cameras with 500fps. The phase analyzed was downswing of each subject. The three-dimensional coordinates of the anatomical landmarks were obtained with motion analysis system Kwon3d 3.0 version and smoothed by lowpass digital filter with cutoff frequency 6Hz. From these data, kinematic and kinetic variables were calculated using Matlab(ver 5.0) The variables for this study were angular velocity and accelerations, which were calculated and following conclusions have been made : 1) Golf swing time of stiff club is faster than that of regular club. 2) In shoulder joint motion of swing with the stiff club, x-stiff showed mort rapid negative acceleration than that of regular club. 3) In regular club, the velocity of club head would be more effective velocity, which was increasing, than those of other clubs before impact. 4) In wrist joint motion of swing with stiff club, x-stiff club showed faster than regular club in the downswing and impact more rapid negative acceleration.

Background : Bleeding after endoscopic procedure of the stomach carries an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. In case of oozing hemorrhage, not in active hemorrhage, powdered sodium alginate may play a role in control of bleeding with convenience. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical effect and efficacy of sodium alginate powder in upper G-Ⅰ bleeding. Methods : Forty-five patients who had upper G-Ⅰ bleeding after endoscopic procedure were enrolled in this study. Twenty-five patients of them were managed by the application of powder preparation of Sodium alginate(ALTO). The others were observed without treatment. The next day, we performed endoscopy in all patients to ascertain the hemostasis. Results : Of 25 patients managed with Sodium alginate, only two patients(8%) had bleeding (hemostatic rate : 92%), On the other hand, of 20 patients who did not receive any treatment, 3 patient(15%) had bleeding (hemostatic rate : 85%). There was no statistical difference between the two groups(p>0.05). Using other endoscopic procedure, We successfully treated the patient who continued to bleed. Conclusion : We evaluated the effect of the spary of sodium alginate on oozing hemorrhage. Although there was no statistical significance in our study, it seems that the spray of sodium alginate may be a useful method for the prevention of bleeding after endoscopic procedure.
