강신유,장혜정 강원대학교 산업기술연구소 2000 産業技術硏究 Vol.20 No.B

In this paper, we would like to develop the bending collapse specific equation of aluminum members which are usually used in light-weight vehicle or electromobiles. The result of the developed equation are compared with that of test and finite element methods as the moment-rotational angle curves. Three types of aluminum members are tested with the pure bending collapse test rig. PAM-CRASH and ABAQUS program are used for finite element analysis. As the result the developed bending collapse governing equation is accurate in estimating the yield moment and the maximum moment. Especially, in the case of the local buckling and the delayed buckling, the developed equation is better effective than F.E.M.

신동우,이동욱,이상준,김혜순,강효경,안종덕,이인규 대한당뇨병학회 2002 Diabetes and Metabolism Journal Vol.25 No.6

연구배경:당뇨병의 혈관 합병증의 발생에 있어서 산화스트레스는 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 혈관 평활근세포에서 고혈당은 안지오텐신Ⅱ와 더불어 활성산소족(ROS)을 증가시키며, 산화스트레스에 민감한 전사인자들을 활성화시켜 동맥경화증을 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 항산화제로 알려진 알파­리포산이 혈관 평활근세포의 증식속도와 이주에 미치는 영향과 PAI­1발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고 이와 동시에 백서의 혈관 손상 모델을 이용하여 알파­리포산이 신생내막 증식을 억제시킬 수 있는지를 알아보았다. 방법:In vitro 실험은 백서의 대동맥 평활근세포를 고농도의 포도당(22mM)과 100nM의 안지오텐신Ⅱ로 4시간 배양하였다. 알파­리포산을 처리 후, PAI­1 mRNA의 발현을 보기 위해 노던 블롯을 시행하였고 평활근세포의 유주능과 증식속도에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 성장속도의 유주능 분석을 시행하였다. 또한 평활근세포의 유주능에 NF­μB 경로가 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 겔 지연 분석과 NF­μB 보고 유전자 분석을 시행하였다. In vivo 실험으로 백서의 혈관손상 모델을 이용하여 알파­리포산 처리 후 혈관의 신생내막 두께를 비교하였다. 결과:In vitro 실험에서 고농도 포도당과 안지오텐신Ⅱ에 의해 유도된 PAI­1 mRNA 발현증가는 알파­리포산 처리에 의하여 용량에 비례하여 억제되었다(p<0.05). 알파­리포산 처리로 혈관 평활근세포의 유주능은 유의하게 억제되었으나(p<0.01),증식속도는 유의하게 억제되지 않았다. 또한 알파­리포산 처리로 NF­μB 발현도 유의하게 억제되었다(p<0.01). In vivo 실험에서 알파­리포산을 주입한 군에서 혈관손상에 의한 신생내막의 증식이 유의하게 억제되는 것을 보여주었다(p<0.01). 결론:알파­리포산은 백서의 대동맥 평활근 세포의 증식속도는 억제하지 못했으나 유주능은 유의하게 억제하였으며, 혈관 손상 모델에서 신생 내막 증식도 유의하게 억제함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 작용은 알파­리포산에 의한 NF­μB 경로의 억제와 연관이 있는 것으로 사료된다. Background : Exposure to large amounts of glucose causes a characteristic dysfunction and morphologic changes of the endothelium by an increased production of reactive oxygen species(ROS) in diabetes. The plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), which modulates fibrinolysis and cell migration may influence proteolysis and neointimal formation in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC). Antioxidants have been proposed to inhibit multiple proatherogenic events. This study investigated the effect of α-lipoic acid on PAI-1 expression and VSMC proliferation and migration both in vivo and in vitro. Methods : In the in vitro study, cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells(RASMC) were incubated in a medium containing high glucose (22 mM) and 100 nM angiotensin Ⅱ for 4 hour. After α-lipoic acidtreatment, a -migration and growth assay of the RASMC, and a gelmobility shift assay and reportergene analysis for nuclear factor- иB(NF- иB) and northern blot analysis for PAI-1 were performed. In the in vivo study, the effect of α-lipoic acid on neointimal hyperplasia in a rat carotid balloon injury model was evaluated. Results : RASMC migration was inhibited significantly by α-lipoic acid (p<0.01), but their prolife ration was not inhibited. The NF-иB DNA binding activity and NF-иB promoter activity was inhibited by α-lipoic acid significantly (p<0.01). α-lipoic acid inhibited PAI-1 mRNA expression by high glucose and angiotensin Ⅱ in dose dependent manner (p<0.05). In the rat carotid artery balloon injury model, neointimal formation was reduced by α-lipoic acid treatment in a dose dependent manner significantly (p<0.01). Conclusion : α-lipoic acid suppresses migration, but not prolife ration in RASMC. α-lipoic acid also reduce neointima formation in a rat carotid balloon injured model. This effect might be related to the blocking of NF-иB which increase the expression of the genes associated with atherosclerosis including TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, endothelin-1, MCP-1, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, E-selectin, tissue factor(J Kor Diabetes Asso 25:446~459, 2001).

신혜성,김선미,최남기,양규호,강미선 大韓小兒齒科學會 2009 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.36 No.3

유산균이 위장관과 구강건강에 probiotics로서 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음이 보고되고 있다. 이에 시판되는 유산균 발효유 5종과 우유를 선택하여 우식유발 원인균인 S. mutans에 대한 증식억제 및 biofilm 형성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고, 발효유의 산도, 완충능, 산생성능, 칼슘과 인의 함량을 측정하였다. 유산균 발효유에 S. mutans를 주입한 후 생균수를 측정한 결과 모든 발효유의 %가 증가함에 따라 S. mutans 수가 감소했으나 우유에서는 변화가 없었다. 10% 유산균 발효유에 S. mutans를 주입한 후 biofilm 형성 정도를 측정한 결과 액티브 GG, 불가리스는 biofilm 형성이 감소하였고, 이오는 유의한 변화가 없었으며, 투티, 에이스, 우유는 증가하였다(P<0.05). 유산균 발효유 및 우유의 산도를 측정한 결과 이오(3.48±0.01), 투티(3.67±0.02), 에이스(3.71±0.02), 액티브 GG(4.04±0.02), 불가리스(4.19±0.02) 순으로 나타났다. 유산균 발효유의 산생성능을 평가한 결과 불가리스가 가장 높은 산생성능을 보였으며 액티브 GG, 에이스, 투티, 이오, 우유 순으로 산도 하강 경향을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과는 유산균 발효유가 초기산도 및 산생성능 측정 결과 우식유발 가능성이 있음을 나타냈다. 그러나 유산균 발효유 중에서 농후발효유가 우식유발균인 S. mutans를 억제하였고 biofilm 형성을 감소시켜 긍정적인 효과를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. Lactic acid bacteria worked positively on gastrointestinal tract and oral environment. So I selected commercial five fermented milks and milk. and then I evaluated their effect of growth inhibition and biofilm formation of cariogenic bacteria. Streptococcus mutans. And also calculated the acidity. buffering capacity. concentration of Ca and P ion and pH change of those drinks. After adding S. mutans to fermented milks viable cell count of S. mutans in milk was not statistically different but those in all fermented milks were decreased as concentration of fermented milk increased. When I measured the amount of formed biofilm in 10% fermented milks and milk with S. mutans and compared with those without S. mutans. the amount was decreased in Active GG and Bulgaris while being increased in Tootee. Ace and milk(P<0.05). The fermented milk with the lowest pH value was E5(3.48±0.01). and the highest was Bulgaris(4.19±0.02). pH change of the fermented milks and milk with S. mutans was measured. The highest acid producing fermented milk was Bulgaris. and followed by Active GG, Ace, Tootee, E5, Milk. These results indicated that fermented milks had caries activity due to the value of initial acidity and acid producing capacity. But, concentrated fermented milks had the inhibitory effect against S. mutans, and also had high volume of Ca and P ion that protected teeth. So I suggest that they have positive effect on teeth.

姜信珠,李惠成 慶北大學校 師範大學 1974 敎育硏究誌 Vol.16 No.-

The serum cholesterol levels of twelve rabbits were experimentally elevated by butter feeding for 18 days. They were divided into three groups(A.B.C) according to the levels of serum cholesterol on 18th day of butter feeding, and the rice bran oil was administrated to A.B groups of rabbits for 52 days, but not administerated to group C as control. Daily dose of rice bran oil was 1.0gm per ㎏ of bodyweight for group A and 3.0gm for group B. From changes of average serum cholesterol level in each group, the results were obtained as follows. 1. The serum cholesterol level of rabbit was decreased remarkably on 52nd day of test in all groups. 2. The serum cholesterol levels of rice bran oil groups were decreased more rapidly than control group, but there was no significant difference between them. 3. In the rice bran oil feeding groups, the decrease of serum cholesterol level was more rapid in the group which was administrated 3.0gm than that of 1.0gm, but the difference was insignificant.

강혜련,김신우,배기범,박지현,강영모,이종명,김능수 대한감염학회 2001 감염 Vol.33 No.3

PFAPA (Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and cervical Adenitis) syndrome has characteristic features of an early onset, periodicity (interval <4 weeks), and a brisk rising high fever (>39℃) of 3 to 6 days' duration without signs of infection. An 18-year-old male was admitted for high fever, sore throat, headache, and abdominal pain. He had suffered from periodic fevers associated with pharyngitis and cervical adenitis for 14 years without any evidence of infection. The fever recurred approximately every 4 weeks lasting 4 to 7 days with intervening asymptomatic periods. Physical examination was unremarkable except for slightly injected tonsils. Most laboratory tests including CBC were normal except for elevation of Creactive protein level (3.47 mg/dL). Bacteriologic and radiologic studies were negative. The fever was spontaneously subsided in 6 days. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of PFAPA syndrome in Korea. (Korean J Infect Dis 33:219∼222, 2001)

건강보험공단 건강검진과 자비 건강검진 수검자간의 만족도 비교

신연수,박종연,정상혁,정혜영,강혜영 한국의료QA학회 2005 한국의료질향상학회지 Vol.12 No.1

Backgrouds : This study was performed to compare the satisfaction levels for health examination programs provided by between the Korea National Health Insurance Corporation (KNHIC) and private healthcare organizations in Korea. We investigated factors associated with the satisfaction level for the KNHIC health examination. Also, factors explaining for the additional receipt of private healthcare organization's examination were identified. Methods : A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in June 2004 with 250 beneficiaries of the KNHIC industrial workers' program and 100 beneficiaries of the KNHIC selfemployed program. A total of 297 completed the questionnaire, including 213 (85.2%) and 84 (84.0%) for each insurance program. Ten questions measuring satisfaction levels for each examination program were rated on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly unsatisfied) to 5 (strongly satisfied). Results : Among the subjects receiving both examinations, the mean satisfaction level for the KNHIC examination (3.07) was significantly lower than that for the private healthcare organization's examination (3.50) (p<0.05). The KNHIC examination showed lower satisfaction for all of the 10 items than the counterpart. In particular, the KNHIC examination had the scores of lower than 3.0 for the items reflecting post-examination management services. According to the multiple regression analysis results, the satisfaction for the KNHIC examination was positively associated with the positive attitude toward health examination(•‚=0.38, p<0.00). The logistic regression results showed that the likelihood of receiving the private healthcare organization's examination in addition to the KNHIC examination increases as the respondents were less healthier(OR=0.29, 95% CI = 0.10¢¶0.84), the satisfaction level for the KNHIC examination decreased(OR=0.46, 0.28¢¶0.75) or the attitude toward health examination was more positive (OR=2.56, 1.31¢¶5.12). Conclusion : The relatively low satisfaction level for both examination programs suggests that there's ample room for improvement of health examination services in Korea. The negative association between additional receipt of private healthcare organization's examination and satisfaction level for the KNHIC examination implies that the improvement of the satisfaction for the KNHIC examination would help to reduce the national expenditure spent on the additional examination.

시험관내 심내막염 모델에서 Methicillin 내성 포도구균에 대한 Vancomycin, Arbekacin, Gentamicin 단독 혹은 병합효과

이동건,전혜선,임동석,최수미,최정현,유진홍,신완식,강문원 대한감염학회 2003 감염과 화학요법 Vol.35 No.3

목적 : Methicillin 내성 포도구균(methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA)은 병원감염의 중요한 원인균으로 vancomycin이 선택약제이다. 그러나 심내막염 등의 중증감염에서는 vancomycin의 치료실패와 함께 최근 내성균도 증가하고 있어 vancomycin을 대체할 수 있는 항균제와 보다 효과적인 항균요법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 사람의 환경과 유사한 시험관내 감염 모델을 적용하여 MRSA 치료를 위한 vancomycin, arbekacin, gentamicin의 단독 및 병합효과를 비교하였다. 방법 : 임상에서 분리된 MRSA 2균주(GRI 53, gentamicin 내성 : GS171, gentamicin 감수성)로 fibrin clot을 제작하여 시험관내 심내막염 모델을 만들어 vancomycin, arbekacin, gentamicin을 단독 혹은 병합주입하였다. 반감기와 최고 및 최저농도는 사람의 약동학을 기준으로 하였다. Vancomycin은 6, 12, 24시간마다 주입하거나 24시간 연속주입하였고 arbekacin은 12, 24시간마다, gentamicin은 8, 24시간마다 주입하였다. 병합주입의 경우 vancomycin은 12시간마다, gentamicin, arbekacin은 24시간마다 투여하였다. 각 투여군의 살균효과는 0, 8, 24, 32, 48, 72시간째의 fibrin clot내 집락수로 측정하였다. 결과 : GRI153에 gentamicin을 주입한 군 이외의 모든 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 의미있게 fibrin clot내 집락수가 감소하였다(P<0.001). Vancomycin과 arbekacin 단독주입군내서 8시간째의 집락수는 GRI153보다 GS171에서 의미있게 낮았고(P=0.02), GS171에 arbekacin 12시간마다 투여한 군의 집락수가 가장 낮았다(P=0.01). 72시간째 집락수는 균주의 종류나 vancomycin 혹은 arbekacin의 투여간격에 따른 차이가 없었다. GRI153에서 vancomycin과 arbekacin의 병합주입군은 24시간까지 상가작용이 있었으나 vancomycin과 gentamicin 병합주입에서는 무관작용이었고 GS171에서도 72시간 동안 무관작용을 보였다. 또한 전 실험기간 동안 내성균은 발현되지 않았다. 결론 : 시험관내 심내막염 모델에서 MRSA에 대한 arbekacin의 항균력은 vancomycin과 유사하여 단독주입이 가능함을 시사한다. Gentamicin 내성균주의 경우 두가지 항균제의 병합주입으로 24시간까지 상가작용을 보이고 있으나 임상에 적용하기 위해서는 추가연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. Background : Glycopeptide has been used for the one-and-only treatment of choice in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, but its exclusive use for the MRSA infection has led to the increased risk of glycopeptide-resistance. To find an alternative (s), we employed an in vitro infective endocarditis model (IVIEM) to compare the efficacy of vancomycin (VCM). arbekacin (ABK), and gentamicin (GM) alone or in combination. Methods : Using two strains of clinically isolated MRSA, one GM susceptible (GS171) and the other GM resistant (GR153), fibrin clots were prepared and suspended in IVIEM. Antibiotics were added as a bolus to simulate human pharmacokinetics of regimens, including q 6 h, q 12 h, q 24 h, or continuous infusion with VCM, q 12h or q 24 h with ABK, and q 8 h or q 24 h with GM. In cases of combination, regimens were VCM q 12 h plus ABK q 24 h, and VCM q 12 h plus GM q 24 h. Fibrin clots were removed from each model at 0, 8, 24, 32, 48. and 72 h, and the bacterial densities (in CFU/g) were determined. Results : At 8 hour, the colony counts of GS171 were lower than those of GR153 (P=0.02), and the lowest with the ABK q12h against GS171 (P=0.01). At 72 hour, monotherapy with ABK or VCM produced same degree of bacterial reductions in IVIEM, regardless of dosing frequency or GM-resistance. In the case of GM-resistance, combination of VCM and ABK did show additive effect until 24 hours, although VCM and GM showed no indifference during all the experiments. Development of resistance during experiment was not observed with any regimens. Conclusions : Our data suggest that ABK monotherapy could be used as an alternative to VCM even in the treatment of GM-resistant staphylococcal endocarditis. Further studies will clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the additive effect of VCM and ABK.

이을희,강군중,강호종,신혜련 진주산업대학교 농업기술연구소 2002 農業技術硏究所報 Vol.15 No.-

본 실험에서는 적색, 황색 및 주황색의 sweet papper 즙을 0, 10, 15 및 20%를 첨가하여 제조한 저지방 아이스크림의 색차, 물성 및 관능검사를 실시한 결과 sweet papper의 첨가량이 많아질수록 L값은 감소되는 경향이었고 a, b값은 증가되었으며 경도와 탄력성은 증가되었고 결합성은 낮아지는 경향이었다. 관능검사 결과는 저지방 아이스크림의 풍미와 조직은 큰 차이가 없었고, 외관은 sweet papper 첨가량이 많아질수록 색깔차이를 인지할 수 있었다. This study was conducted to find the feasibility of red, yellow and orange sweet papper juice(with 0%, 10%, 15% and 20%) for making low fat ice cream by analyzing chromaticity, rheology and sensory evaluation in the low fat ice cream. The chromaticity in the low fat ice cream, L value decreased by increasing the sweet papper juice level, whereas a and b value increased. The hardness and elasticity of low fat ice cream increased by increasing the sweet papper juice level, whereas chohesiveness decreased. In the results of sensory evaluation of low fat ice cream, the flavor and texture quality showed not so much difference among the sweet papper juice levels, but sweet papper juice level was increased, appearance quality improved, and overall preference increased.

Panipenem을 포함한 Carbapenem 계열 항생제의 몇 가지 임상균주에 대한 시험관내 항균력

이동건,김명신,강진한,전혜선,최수미,위성헌,김상일,최정현,유진홍,신완식,강문원 대한감염학회 2003 감염과 화학요법 Vol.35 No.2

목적 : Panipenem은 일본에서 개발된 카바페넴계 항생제로 그람양성균, 그람음성균, 혐기균에 이르기까지 광범위한 항균력을 나타낸다고 보고되고 있지만 국내에서 분리되는 균주에 대한 감수성 검사결과는 아직 없다. 본 연구에서는 임상에서 분리된 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae 균주를 대상으로 carbapenem 계열 및 몇 가지 항생제와 감수성을 비교하고, 특히 P. aeruginosa의 경우 carbapenem의 효과를 Muller-Hinton agar (MHA)가 반감시킬 수 있는 특성을 고려하여 감수성에 변화가 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 : 2002년 3월부터 6월까지 가톨릭대학교 성모병원, 강남성모병원, 성가병원, 성모자애병원, 성빈센트병원에서 분리된 임상균주 E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae를 대상으로 하였다. 항생제 감수성 검사는 NCCLS 기준에 따랐고 P. aeruginosa의 경우 MHA 이외에 minimal agar Davis (MAD)를 추가로 사용하였다. 감수성 결과 해석시 panipenem은 imipenem과 같은 기준을 적용하였다. 결과 : E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa는 각각 100균주였고, S. penumoniae는 134균주였다(PSSP 41, PNSP 93균주). E. coli, K. pneumoniae는 모든 균주가 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대해 감수성을 보였다. P. aeruginosa의 경우 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem, ceftazidime의 MIC_(90)은 각각 16, 8, 32, 64㎍/mL이었다. MHA와 MAD 배지를 이용하여 P. aeruginosa에 대한 항생제 감수성을 비교해 본 결과 imipenem, panipenem의 MIC_(90)가 각각 16, 32㎍/mL에서 8㎍/mL로 감소하였고, imipenem에 비해 panipenem이 더 많이 감소하였다. S. pneumoniae의 경우 PSSP는 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대해 모두 내성이 없었고 PNSP는 imipenem, meropenem, panipenem에 대한 MIC_(90)가 각각 1, 2, 0.25㎍/mL이었다. 결론 : 결론적으로 panipenem은 E. coli, K. pneumoniae에 대해 기존의 카바페넴계 항생제와 유사한 우수한 항균력을 보였다. P. aeruginosa의 경우 ceftazidime, imipenem과 비슷한 항균력을 보였고 아미노산 함량이 적은 배지를 사용함에 따라 MIC가 낮아졌으며 imipenem보다 더 많은 영향을 받았다. S. pneumoniae의 경우 특히 PNSP에서 기존의 카바페넴계 항생제보다 우수한 항균력을 보였다. Panipenem은 주요 그람음성균 및 폐렴연쇄구균 감염에 유용할 것으로 기대된다. Background : Panipenern (PAPM) is a new carbapenern which has an enhanced broad spectrum against both gram-positive and negative organisms. The aim of study was to compare the activities of PAPM with those of imipenern (IMPM), meropenern (MRPM) against several clinical isolates in Korea. Methods : We tested the in vitro antimicrobial activities of PAPM, IMPM, and MRPM against total 300 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 134 Streptococcus pneumoniae collected from 5 different university hospitals. Using NCCLS guidelines, MICs of PAPM, IMPM, MRPM, and/or ceftazidime were determined. Results : All isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae were susceptible to PAPM, IMPM and MRPM. MIG_(90) of PAPM, IMPM, and MRPM against P. aeruginosa were 32, 16, and 8 ㎍/mL, respectively. Comparing Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) and minimal agar Davis (MAD), the MIG_(go) of PAPM and IMPM were reduced from 16 and 32 ㎍/mL to 8 and 8 ㎍/mL, respectively. PAPM was more influenced by MAD than IMPM. All isolates of penicillin susceptible S. pneumoniae showed 0% of resistance to the carbapenems tested. MIC_(90) of PAPM, IMPM and PRPM against penicillin non-susceptible S. pneumoniae were 0.25, 1 and 2 ㎍/mL, respectively. Conclusion : Panipenern could be one of the potentially useful drugs for the treatment of infections caused by E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and S. pneumoniae. We also showed that PAPM had good anti-pseudomonal activity when examined in MAD, the amino acid-limited media. Therefore, it could be useful for the treatment of infections caused by P. aeruginosa.
