There are controversial findings regarding the roles of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway on bone metabolism under oxidative stress. We investigated how Nrf2/HO-1 pathway affects osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in response to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), or both. Exposing the cells to H2O2 decreased the alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium accumulation, and expression of osteoblast markers, such as osteocalcin and runt-related transcription factor-2. In contrast, H2O2 treatment increased the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the cells. Treatment with hemin, a chemical HO-1 inducer, mimicked the inhibitory effect of H2O2 on osteoblast differentiation by increasing the HO-1 expression and decreasing the osteogenic marker genes. Pretreatment with NAC restored all changes induced by H2O2 to near normal levels in the cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that H2O2-mediated activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway negatively regulates the osteoblast differentiation, which is inhibited by NAC.

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

The aim of this study was to investigate the susceptibility of mutans streptococci (S. mutans and S. sobrinus) and Streptococcus anginosus, for seven antibiotics, penicillin G, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, erythromycin, bacitracin, and vancomycin. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of seven antibiotics against 3 species (type strains) of mutans streptococci and S. anginosus, 10 strains (wild type) of S. mutans, 7 strains (wild type) of S. sobrinus, and 11 strains (wild type) of S. anginosus, were measured by broth dilution method. All of the type strains of mutans streptococci and S. anginosus had the same susceptibility for penicillin G, amoxicillin, cefuroxime and bacitracin. Type strain of S. anginosus was sensitive in ciprofloxacin, but those of mutans streptococci were not. All of the clinical isolates of mutans streptococci and S. anginosus had the same susceptibility for the seven antibiotics. Our data reveal that mutans streptococci and S. anginosus have similar antibiotic-resistant character. In addition. these results may offer the basic data to verify the antibiotic-resistant mechanism of mutans streptococci and S. anginosus.

In this study, the behavior of a fatigue crack propagation near the expanded hole was investigated in terms of the plastic deformation and position of hole with respect to the propagating crack tip. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. The crack propagation rate is high when the crack tip approaches the hole but the retardation effect becomes prolonged when the crack tip is at the very vicinity of the hole. 2. The proper expansion of the hole seemed to play an important role for the retardation of the fatigue crack propagation rate. It is found that 5% of plastic deformation in mild steel show the best effect of the fatigue crack retardation.

In this work, we studied the mechanical properties, structure and the stress intensity factor of the welded areas which were annealed from 500。C to 900。C with an interval of 100。C. The main results are as follow. 1. The as-welded specimen showed the highest tensile strength and yield point. The tensile strength and the yield point decrease as the annealing temperature increased from 500。C to 900。C, and they became smaller in the order of deposited metal, heat affected zone and base metal. 2. The hardness was maximum at about 9 mm from the welding center line, and it decreased drastically in the heat affected zone located between 9∼15mm from the center line. 3. The elongation decreased in the order of base metal, the fusion zone and heat affected zone while it increased as annealing temperature increased. 4. The stress intensity factor(S. I. F.) declined as the length of notch increased and it became smaller in the order of fusion zone, base metal and heat affected zone. This is because fracture toughness is affected by brittlization at heat affected zone as well as the initiation and propagation of cracks.

In this study, the crack behavior around the bonded dissimilar materials is analyzed by using by Finite Element Method(FEM) in case that it approaches or passes through the bonded line perpendicularly. The analysis criterion is based on the energy(△U) when the crack progresses or passes through the bonded line. The variables are the width of dissimilar material and distance from the crack tip to the bonded line. Values of E(Young's modulus), V(Poisson's ratio) and △U(Energy) for base material are different from those(E', V', △U') for dissimilar material. The outcome of this study is obtained by comparing △U with △U'

용접입열량에 따른 CO₂용접부의 기계적 특성에 관한 연구

국정한,성호현 한국기술교육대학교 2001 論文集 Vol.8 No.1

ABSTRACT In this study, we investigate the welding characteristics, mechanical properties, stress intensity, fracture strength, and microstructure in the fusion zone of SS400 steels which were welded at four different heat inputs(10, 15, 20, and 25 KJ/cm) using either the flux cored wire (FCW) or solid wire (SW) in the CO2 welding system. Based on arc's stability, spatter, thinned-slag detachment, and bead apperance results, the mechanical properties of the FCW were much better than those of the SW. They decreased as heat increased. The increase of heat input and notch depth result in a decrease of the impact energy.

Fifty two cases of traumatic diaphragmatic injuries that we have experienced from Jan. 1973 to Oct. 1994 were evaluated. The following results were obtained. The age of the patient was ranged from 1 to 74 years. Male was 38 and female was 14 in number with a ratio of 2.7 : 1. The traumatic diaphragmatic injuries were due to blunt trauma in 35 cases(motor vehicle accident 25, fall down 8, press 1, kick by fight 1) and penetrating trauma in 17 cases(stab wound 15, shot wound 1, explosion 1). In the blunt trauma, the preoperative diagnosis of the diaphragmatic injury was possible in 25 out of 35 cases(71%) and in the penetrating trauma, 15 out of 17 cases(88%). In the blunt trauma, the repture site was located in the left in 22 cases(63%) and in the right in 13 cases(31%). In the penetrating trauma, the rupture site was located in the left in 9 cases(53%) and in the right in 8 cases(47%). In the blunt trauma, 20 cases(63%) were treated within 24 hours and in the penetrating, 15 cases(88%) within 24 hours. In the blunt trauma, the herniated organs into the thorax were stomach(7), omentum(6), spleen(6), liver(5), colon(4), small bowel(2) and in the penetrating, stomach(7), colon(6), omentum(3), liver(2), and spleen(1) were herniated. Injury severity score(ISS) of 35-blunt trauma ranged from 11 to 66 with mean value of 30.6. Mean ISS of survivors and nonsurvivors was 27.6 and 52.7 respectively. The diaphragmatic repair of 49 cases was performed with thoracic approach in 23 cases, thoracoabdominal approach in 7 cases and abdominal approach in 19 cases, and 3 cases were not operated. The postoperative complication and mortality were developed in 16 out of 49 cases(33%) and in 5 cases(9.6%) respectively, and the causes of death were hypovolemic shock(1), combined head injury(2), asphyxia(1), and pulomnary edema and renal failure(1). In conclusion, the injuries of the diaphragm should be suspected in all patients with severe blunt trauma or penetrating injuries at thorax and upper abdominal area near the diaphragm. All of the cases had associated injury and most of deaths were related to the severity of associated injuries.

Chromosomal DNA from Str. thermophilus 510 was purified and cleaved with the restriction enzyme PstI. Chromosomal DNA was ligated to pBR322 for transformation into E. coli JM109. A β-galactosidase positive clone was detected by its blue color on a medium supplemented with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactoside. This transformat possessed a single plasmid, designated pSK 001, which contained, in addition of the vector DNA, A 7.0Kb Pst I insertion fragment coding for β-gal activity. A restriction enzyme map of pSK 001 was consist of Hind Ⅲ, EcoR I, Bgl Ⅱ, Sal I, Pvu Ⅱ, etc. An extract from E. coli JM109 (pSK001) contained a β-gal protein with the same electrophoretic mobility as the β-gal from Str. thermophilus 510.
