( Won Il Heo ),( Kui Young Park ),( Mi-kyung Lee ),( Yu Jeong Bae ),( Nam Ju Moon ),( Seong Jun Seo ) 대한피부과학회 2020 Annals of Dermatology Vol.32 No.3

Background: Early-onset and severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients increase the probability of the development of allergic rhinitis or asthma. Treatment and prevention strategies in infants and young children with AD are targeted toward treating the symptoms, restoring skin barrier functions, and reducing the absorption of environmental allergens in an attempt to attenuate or block the onset of asthma and food allergy. Objective: Given that the initiating events in AD remain poorly understood, identifying those at risk and implementing strategies to prevent AD is necessary. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in a 43 control group and a disease group with 20 AD patients without atopic march (AM) and 20 with AM. Sanger sequencing was carried out to validate found variants in cohorts. Results: DOCK8, IL17RA, and KLK12 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified by WES as missense mutations: c.1289C>A, p.P97T (rs529208); c.1685C>A, p.P562G (rs12484684); and c.457+27>C, rs3745540, respectively. A case-control study show that total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level was significantly increased in the AA genotype of DOCK8 compared to the CA genotype in allergic patients. The rs12484684 of IL17RA increased risk of adult-onset AD (odds ratio: 1.63) compared to the control for (A) allele frequency. AD and AM Patients with the IL17RA CA genotype also had elevated IgE levels. rs3745540 of KLK12 was associated with AD in dominant model (odds ratio: 2.86). Conclusion: DOCK8 (rs529208), IL17RA (rs12484684), and KLK12 (rs3745540), were identified using a new WES filtering method. the result suggests that polymorphism of DOCK8 and IL17RA might be related to increase the total IgE level.

( Jung Ho Choi ),( Hye Mi Jin ),( Moon Ju Kim ),( Young Nan Cho ),( Kwang Il Nam ),( Seung Jung Kee ),( Jang Bae Moon ),( Dong Jin Park ),( Yong Wook Park ),( Shin Seok Lee ),( Tae Jong Ki ) 대한내과학회 2013 대한내과학회 추계학술대회 Vol.2013 No.1

Introduction: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is crucial for the proinflammatory activation of human myeloid cells and antigen-driven inflammatory arthritis. Since, the functional role of miR-155 in gouty arthritis has not been defined. The aim of this study was to examine the role of miR-155 in pathogenesis of gouty arthritis. Materials and methods: Samples from fourteen patients with gouty arthritis and ten healthy controls were obtained. Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals were prepared by recrystallization from uric acid. Total RNA was isolated using the miRNeasy kit (Qiagen). The miScript Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen) was used for cDNA preparation. MiScript primer assay (Qiagen) were used for semiquantitative determination of the expression of human miR-155. Human TNF-α and IL-1β in supernatants were measured by Luminex (Millipore, USA) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Gout peritonitis mice (Male C57BL/6J) model used to analyze expressions of miR-155, Src homology 2-containing inositol phosphatase-1 (SHIP-1), and inflammatory cytokines. Results: The samples from gout patients proved to be highly enriched in miR-155, with levels of expression being 4-fold higher than those found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy controls and gout (p<0.05). miR-155 was found to be strongly induced by stimulation of MSU crystals after 24 hours and their expressions gradually decreased. Stimulating with MSU crystals for the indicated times, and the level of SHIP-1 was found to be gradually decreased in according to over-expression of miR-155. miR-155 promoted MSU-induced proinflammatory cytokine production. Commensurate with our observations in human synovial monocytes, miR-155 expression was elevated in gout mice model. SHIP-1 protein levels were markedly reduced in cells by MSU stimulated, compared to the control. MSU crystal induced peritonitis mice significantly increased the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-1β. Conclusion: Overexpression of miR-155 in synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) led to down-regulation of SHIP-1 and an increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

各 結晶格子는 230個 空間群 中 하나로 記述되는 對稱性을 가지고 있으며 그 結晶의 構造를 밝히기 爲하여는 그 結晶이 屬한 空間群을 반드시 알아야 한다. 이 論文에서는 230個 空間群을, 그 結晶이 가지고 있는 反射條件에 依하여 明白히 決定되는 空間群과 空間群間의 共通的인 反射條件 때문에 結晶의 構造가 밝혀진 後에야 밝혀지는 空間群으로 分類하여 놓았다. Every crystal lattice has a symmetry which is described by one of the 230 space groups and the space group of a crystal must be known in order to elucidate its structure. In this paper the 230 space groups are classified into two categories, i.e., the space groups that are explicitly determined by the reflection conditions the crystals have and the others that are determined only after the elucidation of the crystal structures because of the common systematic reflection conditions between the space groups.

한 結晶의 構造는 唯一單位의 X-線 回折强度資料로부터 決定될 수 있다. Miller指數(hkl)의 函數인 回折强度Ⅰ(hkl)는 異常 散亂(anomalous scattering)이 無視될때 對稱中心點群 卽 Laue群의 對稱性을 나타낸다. 이 論文에서는 모든 結晶系에 對한 回折强度의 唯一單位를 Laue群들의 對稱性으로부터 誘導하여 놓았다. Crystal structures can be determined from the unique data of X-ray intensity. As the X-ray intensity Ⅰ(hkl), which is a function of diffraction plane (hkl), has a center of symmetry assuming anomalous scattering is negligible Ⅰ(hkl) shows the symmetry of a centrosymmetric point group, i.e., a Laue group. In this paper the unique data of the intensity for all crystal systems have been derived from the symmetries of Laue groups.

Nowadays increasing use of abdominal ultrasound in routine check-up may increase the detection rate asymtomatic cystic lesions of pancreas. Even through the majority of the cystic lesions of pancreas is pseudocyst, about 10-15% of those lesions are caused by pancreatic cystic tumor. In the pancreatic cystic tumor, especially, mucinous cystic tumor should be exicised due to its malignant potential, while the pancreatic pseudocyst or serous cystic tumon can be observed for a period or treated medically. Several clinical, radiological, biochemical and pathologic guidelines have been developed in order to distinguish among them. Among pancreatic cystic tumors, mucinous cystic adenocarcinoma is very rare and accounts for only 1% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Unlike extremely poor prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, mucinous cystic adenocarcinoma has an indolent course and shows a good prognosis after its curative resection. Recently we experienced a 69-year-old woman who had a mucinous cystic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. We report this case with a review of literature.
