Fipronil, the phenylpyrazole insecticide, is effective and used in various fields. Especially, fipronil was reliable because it was known to be specific on invertebrate animals than vertebrate animals including mammals. However, fipronil had potential risks that affect vertebrate animals as it blocks the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors that also exists in vertebrates as well as invertebrates. Therefore, it was necessary that harmful effects of fipronil on vertebrates are clarified. For this purpose, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) were used on behalf of vertebrate animals in present study. The zebrafish were exposed to 5 µg/L, 25 µg/L, and 50 µg/L of fipronil during 12, 24 and 72 hours. To closely observe toxic process, 12 hours and 24 hours of additional time point were set in the exposure test. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics is an approach to detect metabolic changes in organism resulted from external stimuli. In this study, NMR-based metabolomics showed the metabolic changes in zebrafish caused by fipronil exposure. Metabolic analysis revealed that fipronil interfered with energy metabolism and decreased the antioxidant ability in zebrafish. Antioxidant ability decline was remarkable at high exposure concentration. In addition, metabolic analysis results over time suggested that reactions for alleviating the excessive nerve excitation occurred in zebrafish after fipronil exposure. Through this study, it was elucidated that the adverse effects of fipronil on vertebrate animals are evident. The risk of fipronil on vertebrates can be no longer ignored. Moreover, this study has a meaning of practically necessary research for organism by examining the effects of fipronil at low concentrations existed in real environment.

Purpose : Acute respiratory tract infections are the most common illnesses in children. The great majority of these infections involving lower respiratory tracts infections(LRTI) are caused by respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus(RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), influenza virus(INF), adenovirus(ADV), etc. Our purpose of this study was to examine the seasonal occurrence, clinical and laboratory features of each viral infections. Methods : Nasopharyngeal aspirates(NPA) were collected from 913 hospitalized children on the first day of admission. They were all admitted to Hangang Sacred Heart hospital and diagnosed as LRTIs. The study period was from September 1998 to August 2002. Specimens were inoculated onto HEp-2 cell, LLC-MK2 cell and MDCK cell. Viruses were detected by immunofluorescent method performed at day 10 postinoculation. Respiratory viruses were detected in 251(27%) cases. Medical records of 208 cases diagnosed as acute LRTIs were all taken reviewed and analyzed. Results : The identified pathogens were RSV 122 cases(58%), PIV 30 cases(14%), INFA 20 cases(10%), INFB 21 cases(11%) and ADV 15 cases(7%) during the study period. Outbreaks of RSV infections occurred every year but mostly on December, 1998 and November, 1999. LRTIs by PIV and ADV occurred during all seasons of the year. INFA was isolated moslty on March, 1999 and January, 2000. INFB infections occurred largely on April, 2002. The clinical diagnoses were bronchiolitis 88 cases(43%), pneumonia 87 cases(42%), croup 19 cases(9%) and tracheobronchitis 14 cases(6%). Common symptoms and signs were cough, rhinorrhea, sputum and fever. WBC counts in peripheral blood showed normal findings in 123 cases(59%). Each viral infections also showed some differences in auscultatory findings and chest X-ray findings. Conclusion : We learned that viruses are one of the major and important etiologic agents of acute LRTIs of children in Korea. However, we still need to find out more about its characteristic clinical features and continue studying on their seasonal occurrence to focus on their management and also prevention. 목 적 : 바이러스는 소아 하기도 감염증의 가장 흔한 원인으로 소아에서 흔히 이환되어 모세기관지염, 폐렴, 크룹, 기관 기관지염 등의 하기도 감염을 일으키는 원인 바이러스들의 유행 및 임상 양상을 조사하기 위해 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방 법 : 1998년 9월부터 2002년 8월까지 한림대학교 한강성심병원 소아과에 급성 호흡기 감염증으로 입원했던 환아 중 총 913례에서 비인두 흡인물을 채취하여 바이러스 배양 및 단일 클론 항체를 이용한 면역 형광 검사법으로 251례(27%)에서 호흡기바이러스가 분리되었다. 그 중 모세기관지염, 폐렴, 크룹, 기관 기관지염 등의 급성 하기도 감염증으로 진단 받은 208례의 의무기록을 후향적으로 고찰하였다. 결 과 : 1) RSV가 122례(58%)로 가장 많았고, PIV 30례(14%), INFB 21례(11%), INFA 20례(10%), ADV 15례(7%) 순이었다. 2) 발생시기는 RSV의 경우 1998년 12월과 1999년 11월에 많이 발생하였다. PIV는 연중 비슷하였고, INFA는 1999년 3월과 2000년 1월에 많이 검출되었다. INFB는 2002년 4월에 많이 발생하였고, ADV는 2000년을 제외하고는 연중 비슷하게 검출되었다. 3) 남녀 성별비는 1.8 : 1로 남아가 더 많았고, 중앙연령은 10개월이었다. 4) 임상적 진단에는 세기관지염 88례(43%), 폐렴 87례(42%), 크룹19례(9%), 기관 기관지염 14례(6%)의 순이었고, RSV의 경우 세기관지염이 70례(58%)였다. 5) 임상증상 및 징후에는 각 바이러스 모두 기침(93%), 비루(83%), 가래(74%), 발열(56%)이 많았고, ADV의 경우 발열(89%), 호흡곤란(56%)이 다른 바이러스에 비해서 높았다. 6) 청진 소견으로 천명음이 들렸던 경우는 RSV가 69%, INFA가 45%로 많았고, 건성수포음은 PIV가 52%, INFB가 38%로 많았으며 수포음은 ADV에서 89%로 높았다. 7) 말초 혈액 백혈구 수는 전체 59%에서 정상이었고, 39%에서 증가하였다. 적혈구 침강 속도는 73%에서 증가하였고, C 반응 단백은 21%에서 양성이었다. 8) 방사선 소견은 고찰이 가능하였던 206례 중 각 바이러스 모두 정상 소견이 가장 많았고, 과팽창은 RSV에서 많았다. 폐문 부위 기관지 침윤과 폐경화는 ADV에서 많았고, 하인두 확장은 PIV에서 현저하게 많았으며, 그 외 무기폐 소견도 있었다. 결 론 : 소아에서 급성 하기도 감염증의 중요한 원인을 차지하는 호흡기 바이러스는 각각 발생시기 및 유행양상이 다르고 임상 양상에서도 차이를 보였으나, 이에 더욱 많은 보고와 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 본다.

이수진,Chae Rim Lee,김기주,류연희,Eunjin Kim,Yu Na Han,문석호,이종원 한국조직공학과 재생의학회 2020 조직공학과 재생의학 Vol.17 No.2

Background: The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) isolated from adipose tissue, which contains stem cells as well as other cell types, has been applied in various research fields. Although different enzymatic concentrations and treatment durations have been applied to isolate the SVF, optimal conditions have not been established. Thus, we aimed to establish the optimal conditions for isolation of the SVF from adipose tissue by automated systems. Methods: The SVF was collected from removed adipose tissues of five donors during surgery. The SVF was treated with 0.1% or 0.2% collagenase type I for 20, 40, or 60 min. Then, colony forming unit (CFU) assays and flow cytometry were performed to characterize the adipose stem cells (ASCs). A cytokine array was used to investigate the correlation between colony-formation ability and the secretion of isolated ASCs. Results: Treatment with 0.1% collagenase type I for 60 min resulted in a higher SVF yield, whereas treatment with 0.1% collagenase for 40 min resulted in higher CFU values. In addition, expression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in the SVF was higher in the high-CFU group than in the low-CFU group. Conclusion: The optimal conditions for isolation of the SVF from adipose tissue were treatment with 0.1% collagenase type I for 40 min. We identified the conditions required for efficient SVF isolation based on high CFU values, and our results will facilitate the development of automated systems.

목 적 : Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ purpura (HSP) 환아에서 스테로이드 치료 기간에 따른 HSP의 재발이나 신장염 발생 빈도의 차이를 보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 일산에 위치한 두 종합 병원에 2000년부터 2003년까지 HSP로 진단 받은 186명 (평균 연령 6.3${\pm}$2.5 세, 남:여 = 104:82)의 환아 들에서 후향적 분석을 시행 하였다. 스테로이드 치료기간에 따른 예후의 차이를 보기 위하여 A 병원에서는 복통 및 관절통 증상이 경한 경우에는 경구 프레드니솔론을 투여 하였으며 복통 및 관절통이 심한 경우에는 정맥 내 덱사메타손을 투여 후에 경구 프레드니솔론을 복용하는 방법으로 치료를 시행하였는데 연구 전에 미리 계획한 대로 증상의 기간과 경중에 상관 없이 스테로이드 치료 기간은 최소 2주 이상 유지하였다. (A군, 94명) B 병원에서는 복통 및 관절통이 경한 경우에는 스테로이드제재 복용을 하지 않았으며, 심한 복통 및 관절통을 동반하는 경우 경구 프레드니솔론을 복용 하도록 하였으며 증상이 소실되면 즉시 용량을 감량하여 끊도록 하였다. (B군, 92명) 결 과 : 두 그룹간의 연령, 성별, 체중, 백혈구, 적혈구, 혈색소, 혈소판, 혈장 내 단백질, 알부민 수치는 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 또한 복통(45%vs. 50%, P=0.557) 혹은 관절통(61% vs. 61%, P=1.0)의 발생 빈도도 두 군간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 스테로이드 치료의 기간은 A군에서 B군 보다 길었으며(21.8${\pm}$8.4 vs. 6.1${\pm}$7.4 days, P<0.0001), 프레드니솔론의 누적 용량 또한 A군에서 높았다(20.2${\pm}$11.2 vs. 4.9${\pm}$5.9 mg, P<0.0001). 신장염의 발생은 A군에서 높게 나타났으며(23% vs. 10%, P=0.017), 반면에 재발률은 B군에서 높게 나타났다(10% vs 23%, P=0.017). 결 론 : 스테로이드의 사용 기간이 HSP 환자군의 신장 침범 발생률에 영향을 주지 못하였다. 그러므로 HSP 환아의 치료에서 스테로이드는 선별적으로 사용하여야 하며, 급성 증상이 조절되고 나면 즉시 용량을 줄여서 복용을 중단하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다. Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the incidence of relapse or nephritis might be influenced by the duration of corticosteroid therapy in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP). Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 186 children with a diagnosis of HSP in two major hospitals in Ilsan, Korea from the years 2000 to 2003. To evaluate whether renal involvement or relapse might be influenced by the duration of corticosteroid therapy in children with HSP, one pediatric nephrologist from hospital A, maintained corticosteroid therapy for at least 2 weeks(Group A, n=94). The other from hospital B used only during the symptomatic period(Group B, n=92). Results : There were no significant differences in age, sex, body weight, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, serum protein and albumin levels between the two groups. The incidence of abdominal pain or arthralgia also did not differ between two groups. However, the duration of steroid therapy was significantly longer in Group A than in Group B and the cumulative dose of prednisolone was also higher in Group A than in Group B. The development of nephritis was more frequent in Group A. Conclusion : The longer duration of steroid use was not associated with the decreased rate of nephritis. Therefore, corticosteroids should be used carefully in a selected group of HSP children, and be tapered rapidly after control of the acute symptoms.

The study investigates the effects of luminance contrast, which is the contrast between text color and background color, on readability in VDT environments. Our research goals are to prove that the relationship between luminance contrast and readability is not linear and to explore the best luminance contrast level for optimal readability. We conducted two pretests before the main experiment to determine the operational readability and luminance contrast levels. We also conducted a controlled main experiment, in which luminance contrast, reading amount and screen size were tested in terms of its relation with readability. The results of the main experiment indicate that the readability has a non-linear relation with luminance contrast, and the optimal readability is obtained when the contrast is equal to 0.951. Furthermore, the non-linear function and optional point stay constant regardless of screen size and reading amount. The paper ends with implications of the results that maximal contrast does not always mean the optimal readability.

이수진,김영기,김기혁,Lee, Su-Jin,Kim, Young-Ki,Kim, Kee-Hyuck Korean Society of Pediatric Nephrology 2007 Childhood kidney diseases Vol.11 No.2

목 적 : 이식신 생검은 이식신 기능 이상의 원인, 거부반응의 정도, 예후 등을 확인하는데 도움이 된다. 그러나 이식신의 조직학적 변화가 신피질에 고르게 분포하지 않는 경우를 흔히 보게 된다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 이식신 생검에서의 잠재적인 표본추출의 오류를 평가하기 위하여 시행되었다. 방법 : 569개의 이식신 생검 표본 중에서 Banff criteria에 준하는 급성 거부반응을 보이고 있으며, 신피막부터 수질까지의 전 층을 포함하고 있는 신생검 표본 26개를 조사하였다. Banff criteria를 변형하여 조직의 변화를 간질성 염증(0-3+), 부종(0-3+), 요세관간질염(0-3+)으로 구분하여 급성거부반응의 등급을 표면 피질, 깊은 피질과 피질에 근접한 수질층 각각을 비교하여 조직학적 분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 간질성 염증(P=0.019), 부종(P=0.023), 요세관 거부등급(P=0.019)에서 깊은 피질에서 표면 피질에 비해 급성 거부반응의 정도가 심하였다. 결론 : 이식신의 급성 거부반응을 진단하기 위하여 신생검을 실시 할 경우 깊은 피질이 포함되지 않으면 급성 거부반응을 과소 평가 할 수 있으므로 주의해야 할 것으로 사료된다. Twenty-six renal allograft biopsies which showed acute rejection and had renal capsule and medulla in the same specimen were selected in order to compare the severity of acute rejection between superficial cortex, deep cortex and medulla. Disregarding the mid cortical region, the superficial cortex was considered as being one-third of the distance from the renal capsule to the medulla and the deep cortex as being that one-third of the cortex which was adjacent to the medulla. Using semiquantitative histologic analysis the following parameters were compared in superficial cortex, deep cortex, and medulla: interstitial inflammation, edema, tubulitis, and acute tubulointerstitial rejection grade. Also, the presence of lymphocyte activation and polymorphonuclear leukocytes was evaluated. Significantly greater histologic changes of acute rejection were found in the deep cortex vs. supeficial cortex for the following parameters: interstitial inflammation(P=0.013), edema (P=0.023) and tubulointerstitial rejection grade(P=0.016). These findings support the view that biopsies in which deep cortex is not included may result in underestimation of the severity of renal allograft rejection.

Involvement of Ca2+/Calmodulin Kinase II (CaMK II) in Genistein-Induced Potentiation of Leucine/Glutamine-Stimulated Insulin Secretion

이수진,Hyo-Eun Kim,Sung-E Choi,Ha-Chul Shin,Won-Jae Kwag,Byung-Kyu Lee,Ki-Woong Cho,강엽 한국분자세포생물학회 2009 Molecules and cells Vol.28 No.3

Genistein has been reported to potentiate glucosestimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Inhibitory activity on tyrosine kinase or activation of protein kinase A (PKA) was shown to play a role in the genistein-induced potentiation effect on GSIS. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism of genistein-induced potentiation of insulin secretion. Genistein augmented insulin secretion in INS-1 cells stimulated by various energygenerating nutrients such as glucose, pyruvate, or leucine/ glutamine (Leu/Gln), but not the secretion stimulated by depolarizing agents such as KCl and tolbutamide, or Ca2+ channel opener Bay K8644. Genistein at a concentration of 50 μM showed a maximum potentiation effect on Leu/Gln-stimulated insulin secretion, but this was not sufficient to inhibit the activity of tyrosine kinase. Inhibitor studies as well as immunoblotting analysis demonstrated that activation of PKA was little involved in genistein- induced potentiation of Leu/Gln-stimulated insulin secretion. On the other hand, all the inhibitors of Ca2+/ calmodulin kinase II tested, significantly diminished genistein- induced potentiation. Genistein also elevated the levels of [Ca2+]i and phospho-CaMK II. Furthermore, genistein augmented Leu/Gln-stimulated insulin secretion in CaMK II-overexpressing INS-1 cells. These data suggest that the activation of CaMK II played a role in genisteininduced potentiation of insulin secretion.

Shikonin Modulates Cell Proliferation by Inducing Apoptosis in LLC Cells via MAPK Regulation and Caspase Activation

이수진,김성훈,Lee, Soo-Jin,Kim, Sung-Hoon The Physiological Society of Korean Medicine and T 2005 동의생리병리학회지 Vol.19 No.2

Shikonin is a chemically characterized component of traditional herbal medicine, the root of Lithospermum erythrorhizon and has been shown to possess antitumor activities. Here we investigated anticancer potential of shikonin and its possible mechanism of action in LLC cells. Shikonin inhibited the proliferation of LLC cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It was also demonstrated that shikonin induced apoptosis in LLC cells by Annexin V staining and TUNEL staining analysis. Shikonin treatment was caused that decrease of Bcl-2, activation of caspases and cleavage of PARP. And shikonin also induced that the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38. Interestingly, the cell proliferation inhibition induced by shikonin was recovered by specific inhibitors of JNK and p38 but the inhibitor of MEK, the upstream kinase of ERK, did not recover. Additionally, shikonin administration at doses of 5 mg/kg in C57BL/6 mice strongly inhibited the primary tumor growth of LLC. Taken together, these results suggest that shikonin may suppress LLC cell proliferation by inducing an apoptotic process via activation of caspases and MAPKs

The Overview on the Education and Training Systems of Traditional Medicine in Asia and the Pacific

이수진,Lee, Soo-Jin Research Institute of Korean Medicine 2010 한의학연구소 논문집 Vol.19 No.1

These days, traditional and complementary/alternative medicine (TM/CAM) becomes more upsurging topics of increasing importance and the use and popularity of TM/CAM is rapidly expanding, Since the tradition and situation on TM/CAM of each country is quite different, the concept and system of TM/CAM expressed by different countries shows the variety of range. Some countries recognize TM/CAM as one part of two branches of medical science and have integrated into national health care system. In these countries, education systems for TM/CAM are also well organized formal education systems, such as the Republic of Korea, DPR Korea, China (including Hong Kong and Macao), and Viet Nam. However, other countries in Asia and the Pacific. still do not have formal and/or informal education system and do not recognize TM/CAM as a kind of health care systems. This paper reviews the current situation of education and training on TM/CAM in the Asia and the Pacific. As a result, fifteen countries (31.3%) of 48 member countries in Asia and the Pacific have formal education systems for TM/CAM, twelve countries (25.0%) do not have formal education system and twenty one countries (43.7%) do not have available information. At least six countries are allocating the curriculum of medical school to the education of both allopathic and traditional medicine. For the proper use and development of TM/CAM, the development of formal education system as well as the integration into the national health care system are needed.
