Aims: Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection increases the risk for progressive liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma and negatively impacts the patient’s quality of life. HCV treatment is evolving with direct acting antivirals but IFN based therapy has been the standard of care for many years and remains available in some countries. The MOSAIC study aims to characterize patients with chronic HCV infection and assess the impact of IFN-containing treatment on health-related quality of life, work related productivity and health care utilization. Methods: MOSAIC is an international prospective multicenter observational study that has been conducted in 20 countries. Consecutive patients with chronic HCV infection were enrolled and those who initiated an IFN based regimen were prospectively followed for 48 weeks. We report results from the Korean cohort Results: 100 patients were enrolled: 86 were treatment naïve and 14 were treatment experienced. 33 patients initiated an IFN based regimen: 6 patients started IFN + RBV, 26 patients started Peg-IFN + RBV, none started Peg-IFN + RBV + DAA and 1 patient received other treatment. Among the treated cohort, demographic and disease characteristics were the following: the mean age was 54.5 years; 14 patients were male. 14 had minimal or no fibrosis, 2 portal fibrosis, 3 bridging fibrosis and 6 patients suffered from cirrhosis. HCV Genotype distribution was as follows: genotype 1: 11; genotype 2: 19 and genotype 3: 3. Table 1 describes the results at baseline and changes over 4, 12 and 48 weeks and end-of-treatment (EOT) for the quality of life and work productivity outcome measures (EQ-5D-5L, HCV-PRO and WPAI). Conclusions: Results from the Korean cohort of the MOSAIC study show a moderate trend for deterioration of health-related quality of life and work productivity associated with IFN based treatment for patients with chronic HCV infection during treatment period.

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

Bioequivalence of two cefixime capsules, test drug (Cepirin^R capsule: Cheiljedang Corp.) and reference drug (Suprax^R capsule: Dong A Pharm. Com.), was evaluated according to the guidelines of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Sixteen healthy volunteers were divided randomly into two groups and administered the drug orally at the dose of 400mg as cefixime in a 2×2 crossover study. There was a 1-week washout period between the administrations. Blood samples were taken at predetermined time intervals for 12 hour and the plasma concentration of cefixime was determined with a HPLC method. AUC_0-12hr (area under the plasma concentration-time curve form time zero to 12 hour), C_max(maximum plasma drug concentration) and T_max (time to reach C_max) were estimated from the plasma drug concentration-time data. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed no difference in AUC1-12hr, C_max and T_max between the formulations. The apparent differences of these parameters between the formulations were less than 20% (i.e., 8.62, 11.10 and 0.00% for AUC_0-12hr C_max and T_max, respectively). The powers (1-β) for AUC_0-12hr C_max and T_max. Were over 0.9. Minimal detectable difference (Δ) at α=0.05, 1-β=0.8 were less than 20% (i.e., 12.84, 11.05 and 17.99% for AUC_0-12hr C_max and T_max, respectively). The 90% confidence intervals(delta) for these parameters were also within ±20% (i.e., -0.53≤δ≤17.76. 3.23≤δ 18.97 and -12.81≤δ≤12.81 for ACU_0-12hr C_max and T_max, respectively). These results satisfied the criteria of KFDA guideline for bioequivalence, indicating the two formulations of cefixime were bioequivlent.

일부 지역 주민에서 초기 신기능 저하의 지표로서 혈청 Cystatin C 농도의 유용성

원기범,김준섭,박준형,강혁주,이정호 동국대학교 의학연구소 2009 東國醫學 Vol.15 No.2

혈청 cystatin C농도는 혈청 creatinine농도에 비해 신기능을 정확히 반영한다고 알려져 있지만, 대규모 연구 자료가 제한적이었다. 따라서 저자는 다수의 일부 지역 주민을 대상으로 cystatin C를 creatinine과 비교하여 신기능의 지표로서 cystatin C의 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 2008년 7월부터 9월까지 포항지역의 건강 검진자 999명 (남자: 324명, 여자: 657명)을 대상으로 혈청 cystatin C, 혈청 creatmine, 나이, 체중을 측정하고, Cockcroft-Gault식으로 사구체 여과율을 계산하였다. 계산된 사구체 여과율을 National Kidney Foundation의 Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI)에서 제시한 만성 신장병 분류 기준에 따라 5단계로 분류하였지만 4단계 (중증의 사구체 여과율 저하) 및 5단계 (신부전 또는 투석) 에 포함되는 대상자들의 숫자가 적어 (4단계: 4명, 5단계: 1명) 연구 대상에서 제외하였다. 대상자들의 평균 나이는 52.1 ± 17.1 세, 평균 체중은 59.7 ± 11.3 Kg,평균 혈청 cystatin C농도는 0.9 ± 0.2 mg, 평균 creatinine 농도는 1.0 ± 0.2 mg/dL이었다. 사구체 여과율을 각 단계별로 비교해 본 결과는 다음과 같이 혈청 cystatin C농도는 1 단계 (정상 신기능)는 0.8 ± 0.1 mg, 2단계 (경도의 신기능 저하)는 0.9 U 0.1 mg, 3단계 (중등도의 신기능 저하)는 1.0 d=0.1mg로 각각 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p<0.05).혈청 creatinine농도는 1단계는 0.9 ± 0.2 mg/dL, 2단계는 0.9 ± 0.1 mg/dL, 3단계는 1.0 ± 0.1 mg/dL로 l단계와 2단계 간에 차이가 없었으나 (p>0.05), 2단계와 3단계 간에는 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p<0.05).혈청 cystatin C농도와 혈청 creatinine농도는 나이 (cystatin C: r=0.275, p<0.05; creatinine: r=0.300, p<0.05) 및 체중 (cystatin C: r=0.075, P<0.05; creatinine: r=0.162, p<0.05) 과 양의 상관 관계를 보였다. 혈청 cystatin C 농도는 성별 간의 차이가 없었고, 혈청 creatinine농도는 남성에서 유의하게 높았다. 혈청 cystatin C농도는 혈청 creatinine농도에 비해 초기 신기능 저하를 반영하는 유용한 지표라고 생각된다. Although serum cystatin C has been suggested to be a better alternative marker than serum creatinine for estimating renal function, there have been limited data about its superiority over creatinine in a large number of populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate cystatin C as a renal marker compared to creatinine in a large population of the local community. We measured serum cystatin C, creatinine, age, body weight from 999 volunteers (Male; 324, Female; 657) of a single local cohort, Phohang, from July to September, 2008, and then calculated the GFR according to Cockcroft Gault(CG) formula. The population was divided into five stages followed by the chronic renal disease classification presented by KDOQI. The numbers in stage 4 (severe renal impairment), and 5 (renal failure) were too small (4 in stage 4, 1 in stage 5) to perform statistical analysis, so we excluded them. The mean age was 52.1 ± 17.1, and body weight 59.7 ± 11.3 Kg; serum cystatin C 0.9 ± 0.2 mg/L; serum creatmine 1.0 ± 0.2 mg/dL; CG GFR 70.6 ± 19.1 ml/min/1.73 m^(2). The tests completed for the comparison among each stage suggested the following results; serum cystatin C levels in stage 1 (normal renal function), stage 2 (mild deterioration of renal function), and stage 3 (moderate deterioration of renal function) showed the significant differences (stage 1 vs 2: 0.8 ± 0.1 vs 0.9 ± 0.1, p<0.05; stage 2 vs 3: 0.9 ± 0.1 vs 1.0 ± 0.1, p<0.05). Serum creatinine levels showed no significant differences between stage 1 and stage 2 (stage 1 vs 2: 0.9 ± 0.2 vs 0.9 ± 0.1, p>0.05), but showed significant differences between stage 2 and stage 3 (stage 2 vs 3: 0.9 ± 0.1 vs 1.0 ± 0.1, p<0.05). Serum cystatin C and creatinine presented positive correlation between age (cystatin C: r=0.275, p<0.05; creatinine: r=0.300, p<0.05) and body weight (cystatin C: r=0.075, p<0.05; creatinine: r=0.162, P<0.05). Serum cystatin C levels showed no significant difference in sex, but serum creatinine levels were significantly higher in men than women. Serum cystatin C level is suggested to be more useful parameter than serum creatinine level to evaluate early renal impairment.

당뇨병 백서의 간세포에서 Glucokinase 활성도 및 유전자 발현에 대한 인슐린의 영향

목적 당대사의 조절 상태에 따른 생체 변화를 분자 수준에서 이해하고자 식이 조건을 달리한 정상 백서와 화학적으로 유도된 당뇨병 백서의 간조직에서 혈당수준과 인슐린치료 정도에 따라 나타나는 글루코키나제 활성도 및 유전자 발현을 분석하였다. 방법 스트렙토조토신 정맥투여 후 당뇨병의 유발을 확인하고, 인슐린을 1일 3회 3일간 복강내로 투여하여 상태를 안정시킨 후, 인슐린 투여군은 인슐린 투여 6시간이내에 그리고 인슐린 비투여군은 24시간 후 단두하여 채혈하고 복강을 열어 간조직을 채취하였다. 채취한 간조직에서 글루코키나제 활성도는 인산화된 포도당에서 NADH의 형성을 형광분광계로 측정하였으며, 글루코키나제 유전자 mRNA발현은 Northern 분석법을 이용하였다. 성적 정상 백서에서 공복상태와 식이를 섭취한 경우에 간조직의 글루코키나제 효소의 활성은 차이가 없었으나, 글루코키나제 유전자 mRNA 발현은 증가되었다. 당뇨병이 유발된 백서의 간조직에서 글루코키나제 효소의 활성 및 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현은 정상 백서에 비하여 낮았다. 인슐린 투쳐 후 글루코키나제 효소의 활성 및 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현이 증가되었고, 특히 혈당이 정상화된 경우에서 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현이 증가도었다. 결론 인슐린에 의한 간조직에서 글루코키나제 효소의 활성 및 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA을 증가를 볼수 있었다. 당뇨병 백서에서 인슐린 투여 후에 혈당조절이 안된 경우 간조직의 글루코키나제 유전자의 mRNA 발현이 증가가 없는 것으로 보아 글루코키나제 mRNA의 발현에는 인슐린 이외의 다른 요소가 관여할 것으로 생각된다. The liver-specific hexokinase isoenzyme, referred to as glucokinase, is thought to play a key reglulatory role in hepatic glucose metabolism. The glucokinase gene is, therefore, of interest both because of its tissue-specific expression and because of the several regulatory processes that can be analyzed. The level of hepatic glucokinase activity appears to be determined essentially by regulation of the rate of enzyme synthesis, with insulin playing a leading role as an inducer. We investigated the role of insulin for the induction of glucokinase in the liver of diabetic rats. Experimental diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin 7 days before the experiment. Regular insulin was given by three days intraperitoneal injection at 8-h interval. The glucokinase mRNA in the liver was estimated by Nothern blot assay, as well as by fluorometric enzyme activity assay. Glucokinase activity was not reduced in the liver of normal fasting rats as compared to normal fed rats. And glucokinase activity was reduced in the liver of diabetic rats as compared to normal rats. In diabetic rats treated with insulin, glucokinase enzyme activity were increased. But glucokinase mRNA expression was only increased in normoglycemic diabetic rat with treated with insulin as compared to hyperglycemic rat. These data indicate that insulin stimulates hepatic glucokinase enzyme activity and mRNA expression. But other hormonal or metabolic factors may be contribute to regulation of glucokinase mRNA expression.

The purpose of this study was to compare the shaping time of two shaping methods and the leakage of three different obturation techniques. Ninty three canaled human molar teeth were used. which were randomly divided into two groups of forty teeth each and ten control teeth. After working length determination. the one group was prepared crowndown technique using rotary root canal instruments of GT rotary files .12/20, .10/20, .08/20 and .06/20 taper(Maillefer Instrument SA. Switzerland). The other group was instrumented with Gates Gildden burs(#1, #2 and #3) to coronal preparation and GT rotary files .08/20 and .06/20 taper to apical preparation. Shaping time was measured. After root canals were instrumented, they were divided to three subgroups and obturated as follows: Subgroup 1, obturated with single cone method : Subgroup 2, obturated with lateral condensation : Subgroup 3, obturated with continuous wave technique. Three subgroups were obturated using non-standardized gutta-percha cone(Diadent, Korea, 06 or .08 taper) and AH-26(Dentsply DeTrey, Germany) as a root canal cement. Ten unobturated teeth served as positive and negative controls. After immersion in 2% methylene blue solution for 1 month, the teeth were washed during 24h. The teeth were determineralized in 10% nitric aciid and dehydrated by immersion in 80, 90 and 100% ethyl alcohol. The teeth were finally cleared and stored in 100% methylsalicylate, and apical dye penetration was evaluated under stereomicroscope(Leica M420, LC, U.S.A) at (×) 8.75 magnification. Liner measurement of dye penetration was assessed with the use of digitalized image analysing system (analySIS, GmbH, Germany), The data were analysed statistically using independent T-test and Two-way ANOVA and Tukey test. The result were as follows: 1. In canal prepared with GT^Trotary file, shaphing time taked more than the group of using Gates Gildden drill to coronal preparation without statistical significant (p>0.05). 2. The group of single cone obturation using canal preparation of GT^TM rotary files showed significantly more apical leakage than those of lateral condensation and continuous wave technique regardless of shaping method (p<0.05). 3. The group of single cone obturation using canal preparation of GT^TM rotary files and Gates Gildden drill showed significantly more apical leakage than those of continuous wave technique regardless of shaping method (p<0.05). 4. Regardless of shaping method. The group of continuous wave obturation showed less apical leakage than those of lateral condensation without statistical significance (p>0.05). 5. The group of single cone obturation using canal preparation of GT^TM rotary files and Gates Gildden drill showed more apical leakage than the group of lateral condensation using sane shaping method without statistical significance (p>0.05).

This study was carried out in order to determine in vitro biocompatibility of white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and to compare it with that of the commonly used materials, i. e. calcium hydroxide liner(Dycal), glass ionomer cement (GIC), and Portland cement which has a similar composition of MTA. To assess the biocompatibility of each material, cytotoxicity was examined using MG-63 cells. The degree of cytotoxicity was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a colorimetric method, based on reduction of the tetrazolium salt 2,3 bis {2methoxy 4nitro 5〔(sulfenylamino) carbonyl〕2H tetrazolium hydroxide} (XTT) assay. The results of SEM revealed the cells in contact with GIC, MTA, and Portland cement at 1 and 3 days were apparently healthy. In contrast, cells in the presence of Dycal appeared rounded and detached. In XTT assay, the cellular activities of the cells incubated with all the test materials except Dycal were similar, which corresponded with the SEM observation. The present study supports the view that MTA is a very biocompatible root perforation repair material. It also suggests that cellular response of Portland cement and GIC are very similar to that of MTA. 이번 연구는 치근 천공의 치료 재료인 white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)를 흔히 사용되는 calcium hydroxideliner(Dycal^(R), glass ionomer cement (GIC), 그리고 MTA와 유사한 성분을 가진 Portland cement와 세포독성 실험으로 생체 친화성을 평가하는 것이다. 세포독성의 정도는 MG-63 세포를 이용해 주사전자 현미경적 관찰과 수용성 tetrazolium salt를 이용한 흡광도를 측정 (XTT assay)하여 평가하였다. SEM 관찰에서, 1일과 3일째 모두에서 GIC와 MTA, Portland cement표면에서는 잘 부착된 세포를 보여주었다. 반면에, Dycal 표면의 세포들은 둥글고 부착되지 않은 양상을 보여주었다. XTT assay에서는 Dycal을 제외한 모든 재료에서 유사하게 높은 세포 활성도를 보여주었으며, 이는 SEM 관찰 소견과 일치하였다. 이번 연구는 MTA가 생체친화적인 재료라는 견해를 뒷받침한다. 또한 Portland cement와 GIC에서도 MTA와 유사한 세포반응을 보여주었다.
