Background: Urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) is an early and sensitivebiomarker of acute kidney injury, but it is unclear if it is a biomarker of chronicglomerulonephritis. We evaluated whether urinary KIM-1 levels in patients withimmunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy can be a marker to reflect clinicopathologicalseverity and predict the prognosis. Methods: We measured urinary KIM-1 levels in 40 patients (15 males; mean age36.6712.9 years) with IgA nephropathy and 10 healthy people (5 males; mean age37.379.6 years) as controls. The correlation of urinary KIM-1 levels with patients’clinical parameters, histological grades, and follow-up data were analyzed using themodified H. S. Lee grading system and tubulointerstitial change scores. Results: Urinary KIM-1 levels were higher in patients with IgA nephropathy thanhealthy controls (P¼0.001). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses showedthat urinary KIM-1 levels had a direct correlation with H. S. Lee grade andtubulointerstitial inflammation (P¼0.004 and P¼0.011, respectively). Conclusion: In patients with IgA nephropathy, urinary KIM-1 has a significantcorrelation with histopathologic severity.

In Vitro Antiviral Activity of Ribavirin Against Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus Myung Jin LEE1, Kye-Hyung KIM1, Jongyoun YI2, SuJin CHOI1, Chung-Jong KIM1, Nak- Hyun KIM1, Kyoung-Ho SONG1, Pyoeng Gyun CHOI1, Ji-Hwan BANG1, Wan Beom PARK1, Eu Suk KIM1, Sang-Won PARK1, Hong Bin KIM1, Nam Joong KIM1, Myoung- Don OH1 Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea1, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Korea2 Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a novel Bunyavirus, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

자궁내막에 발생한 점막 연관 림프조직 (MALT) 림프종 1예

전균호,조현진,박성균,김천복,김대연,김종혁,김용만,김영탁,목정은,남주현 대한부인종양 콜포스코피학회 2003 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.14 No.4

Non-Hodgkin's 림프종의 약 40%는 결절외(extranodal) 림프종으로 대개 위장관에서 발생하며 이들 중 점막 연관 림프조직(mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue: MALT)에서 기원한 림프종은 MALT 림프종으로 분류된다. 위 외의 부위에서 원발성으로 발생하는 MALT 림프종은 매우 드물지만 실제 거의 모든 신체 장기에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 가장 흔한 부위인 위 외에도 폐, 갑상선, 침샘, 눈물샘에 발생하고, 드물게 안구, 유방, 방광, 신장, 흉선 등에도 보고된 바 있다. MALT 림프종은 오랜 기간동안 원격 전이하지 않고 국소 병변으로 남아 있는 특징이 있어 치료 방향 또한 국소 병변의 치료에 집중되며, 예후도 림프절 기원의 림프종에 비해 양호한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 저자 등은 자궁 내막에 원발성으로 발생한 MALT 림프종 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 이를 보고하고자 한다. Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma can rarely develop primarily in extranodal sites other than stomach which is the most common site for it. Other rare primary sites are small intestine, colorectum, esophagus, lung, thyroid, salivary gland, lacrymal gland, breast and skin. MALT lymphoma represents a distinct clinicopathologic features: it is usually localized to their original site for a long time and shows much more favorable prognosis than lymphoma at other site, but some MALT lymphoma can arise simultaneously or successively in different organ or give rise to another MALT lymphoma of other organ and can be multifocally disseminated or recurred. We report a very rare case of high grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the uterine endometrium, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical assay.

Platycodon grandiflorum root-derived saponins attenuate atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions via suppression of NF-kB and STAT1 and activation of Nrf2/ARE-mediated heme oxygenase-1

Purpose: The consequences of precipitously rising allergic skin inflammation rates worldwide have accelerated the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD). Natural product-based agents with good efficacy and low risk of side effects offer promising prevention and treatment strategies for inflammation-related diseases. We have already reported that Platycodon grandiflorum root-derived saponins (Changkil saponins, CKS) have many pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, but its influence on AD remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of CKS, mainly platycodin D, on AD-like skin symptoms in mice and the possible mechanisms in cells. Methods: Mice were sensitized and challenged with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Four weeks after challenge, mice were treated with oral administration of CKS for 4 weeks. In addition, cells were used to evaluate the effect of CKS, mainly platycodin D, on the TARC expression regulated mechanism. Results: CKS attenuated DNCB-induced dermatitis severity, serum levels of IgE and TARC, and mRNA expression of TARC, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in mice. Histopathological examination showed reduced thickness of the epidermis/dermis and dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells and mast cells in the ears. Moreover, CKS and platycodin D inhibited TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced TARC expression through the suppression of NF-κB and STAT1 and induction of Nrf2/ARE-mediated hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in cells. Conclusion: We suggest that CKS and platycodin D inhibited the development of AD-like skin symptoms by regulating cytokine mediators and may be an effective alternative therapy for AD-like skin symptoms.ⓒ2014 Elsevler Gmbh.

Stain improvement in the white button mushroom ‘Seolgang’ and its varietal characteristics in Agaricus bisporus

Byung-Joo Lee,Mi-Ae Lee,Yong-Gyun Kim,Kwang-Won Lee,Yong-Pyo Lim,Byung-Eui Lee,Ho-Yeon Song 한국버섯학회 2012 한국버섯학회지 Vol.10 No.4

The button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is one of the most widely cultivated important edible mushroom species. In the breeding of new button mushroom, ‘Seolgang’ was developed by crossing two monokaryons ‘CM020913-27’ and ‘SSU423-31’. Because of the secondarily homothallism, only a small percentage of the basidia produce 3 or 4 spores, which are mostly haploid (n) and do not fruit. Single spore cultures derived from these types of spores produce a vegetative mycelium that also contain a variable number of genetically identical nuclei per cell called monokaryon. The lack of clamp connections between monokaryon and dikaryon required a series of mycelial culture and fruiting test. After crossing, hybrids were cultivated on a small scale and on a commercial scale at a farm. For this, the spawn was made by a commercial spawn producer and the spawned compost by a commercial compost producer. Mycelial growth of ‘Seolgang’ on CDA was better at 20℃ and 25℃ when it was compared with that of ‘505 Ho’. The mature cap shape of new strain ‘Seolgang’ is oblate spheroid and the immature cap shape is round to oblate spheroid. The cap diameter was 41.2 mm on average. In comparison with white strain ‘505 Ho’, the strain had a yield that was 9% higher. It produced fruiting bodies which had a higher weight on average per fruiting body and were 19% firmer with a good shelf life. Days of fruiting body were 3-4 days later than those of ‘505 Ho’. The physical characteristics such as elasticity, chewiness, adhesiveness were better than that of ‘505 Ho’. Genetic analysis of the new strain ‘Seolgang’ showed different profiles compared to ‘505 Ho’, CM02913-27, SSU413-31, when RAPD primers A02 and O04 were used.

韓國 知識基盤經濟 發展戰略

金昊均 明知大學校 經濟硏究所 2002 경영연구 Vol.21 No.1

지식기반경제의 성장이라는 세계적인 대세에 따르는 것은 이제 신흥공업국과 개발도상국에도 생존전략이 되었다. 현재 한국경제는 정부의 강력한 추진력에 힘입어 지식기반경제 발전을 위한 기초를 닦는 데는 성공하고 있다. 그러나 양적 성장에도 불구하고 지식의 효율적 활용, 산업의 고부가가치화, 국가경쟁력 제고라는 측면에서는 아직 가시적인 성과가 크지 않다. 이에 대처하려면 정부의 정책 추전의지가 강화되어야 하고 지식·정보 인프라가 지속적으로 확충되어야 한다. 또한 지식 창출 및 활용을 위한 경제적 유인시스템이 정비되어야 하고 지식기반 사회에 적합한 인재양성을 위해 교육제도가 개혁되어야 하며 효율적인 혁신시스템이 구축되어야 한다. 나아가 정부의 디지털보지정책에서는 민관협력이 보다 적극적으로 수용될 필요가 있고 재정정책에서는 적자재정을 감수하면서라도 지식기반경제의 성장잠재력을 확충하고 생산성을 높일 필요가 있으며 지식기반경제 발전전략은 북한을 포괄하는 한반도 경제의 관점에서 보완될 필요가 있다.

수주생산환경하의 주문정보시스템 개발 사례

김호균,박성영,김승철 동의대학교 산업기술개발연구소 2005 産業技術硏究誌 Vol.19 No.-

수주 생산방식을 갖는 중소기업은 고객의 다양한 주문에 의한 생산방식으로 제품에 대한규격을 정하기 어렵기 때문에 제품의 특성을 고려한 기준정보관리가 필요하다. 그러나 펌프부품 및 선박용 장비를 제조하는 5업체는 정보시스템의 미보유로 업무 진행사항 및 성과에 관한 관리가 제대로 이루어지지 않고, 반복적인 문서작성 작업이 빈번하게 발생된다. 또한 정확한 기준정보 관리의 미비로 효율적인 계획생산이 불가하며, 고객의 요구에 대한 신속한 대응에도 상당한 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점 해결을 위해 펌프제조업의 생산 공정 특성을 분석하여 제품 생산을 위한 견적의뢰, 수주, 고객 지급품 및 외주가공의 정보발생시점을 분석한다. 분석된 정보들은 제품 생산을 지원하는 정보들로 재구성하여 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 주문정보시스템을 설계·구축한다. 주문정보시스템의 구축으로 견적의뢰시부터 제품 출하까지 모든 공정 정보들의 실시간 통합 관리가 가능하게 되었다. 또한 웹 기반으로 구축되어 시간적, 공간적 제약 없이 실시간 생산지원과 각 부서간의 원활한 의사소통이 가능하게 되었다.

For evaluating the lumbar disc space, the fact that the postmyelography computed tomography was more accurate than computed tomography or myelography was well know. But the technical difficulty is limitation of gantry angle. The prone position scanning may help to lessen this trouble. A prospective computed tomographic scanning was performed in both the prone and supine position on 43 patients, who had low back pain. The angle between the vertebral end plate and vertical line was measured in both position at ??, ?? and ?? interspaces. The adavantages of prone scanning in spinal aligment was noted at L5-S1 disc space(79.1%) and also more desirable if computed tomography was performed with metrizamide. With above advantages, the evaluation of bulging annulus was become more easier.

Phase-Type 분포를 이용한 보증서비스 비용 분석

김호균,백천현,조형수 한국경영과학회 2000 韓國經營科學會誌 Vol.25 No.3

We consider the question of servicing warranties for repairable items. During the warranty period, each time an item fails the manufacturer has the obligation to restore the item to operational condition either by repairing the item or by replacing it by a new item. For products with phase-type lifetime distributions where the phases represent the condition of the item. We develop algorithms to determine the expected cost of servicing a warranty and use it in making the repair/replacement decision. Illustrative numerical examples are presented.
