<▼1><P>Adipose tissue inflammation is a reproducible feature of obesity and obesity-linked insulin resistance. Although sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) deficiency has previously been implicated in diet-induced obesity and systemic insulin resistance, the adipocyte-specific role of Sirt6 in the regulation of adipose tissue inflammation and systemic metabolic dysfunction in mice fed normal chow and in humans remains elusive. Here, using <I>Adipoq-Cre</I>-mediated adipocyte-specific Sirt6 knockout (aS6KO) mice, we explored whether adipocyte Sirt6 inhibits adipose tissue inflammation and its underlying mechanism. aS6KO mice fed normal chow gained more body weight and fat mass than wild-type mice and exhibited glucose intolerance and systemic insulin resistance. Measurement of plasma and tissue cytokines and flow cytometric analysis of adipose stromal vascular cells indicated a decrease in alternatively activated M2 macrophages in the adipose tissue of aS6KO mice. Mechanistically, Sirt6 regulated the expression of the canonical type 2 cytokine IL-4 by adipocytes in a cell autonomous manner, which in turn affects M2 macrophage polarization. Consistent with animal experimental data, the degree of obesity and insulin resistance demonstrated by the body mass index, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c correlated negatively with the expression of Sirt6 in human visceral fat tissues. Collectively, these results suggest that adipocyte Sirt6 regulates body weight gain and insulin sensitivity independent of diet, and the increased IL-4 production by Sirt6 and resultant M2 polarization of adipose tissue macrophages may attenuate proinflammatory responses in adipose tissue.</P></▼1><▼2><P><B>Obesity and diabetes: A control protein in fat</B></P><P>A protein in adipose tissue (composed of fat cells) helps protect against inflammation and the development of resistance to insulin that develops in obesity and can lead to type 2 diabetes. Researchers in South Korea, led by Eun Ju Bae at Woosuk University, Wanju, and Byung-Hyun Park at Chonbuk National University, Jeonju, investigated the role of Sirt6 in mice and in human adipose tissue. Deleting the mouse gene that codes for Sirt6 in adipocytes promoted the impaired response to insulin and associated increase in blood glucose levels that are two key aspects of diabetes. Changes in biochemical signaling pathways controlling immune cells called macrophages were implicated in these effects and suggest an anti-inflammatory role for Sirt6. Analysis of human adipose tissue supported these findings. The research will help understand how obesity promotes type 2 diabetes.</P></▼2>

Determination of Limiting Nutrient for Algal Growth by Algal Bioassay. Oh, Hee-Mock, Seog June Lee, Seong-Bin Kim, Mi- Kyung Park, Byung-Dae Yoon and Do-Han Kim (Environmental Microbiology Research Unit, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Taejon 305-333, Korea and Water Resources Research Institute, Korea Water Resources Corporation, Taejon 305-390, Korea) Water quaiity and algal growth potential (AGP) using Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated from April to September 1997 in Daechung Reservoir. Secchi disk transparency was 1.1 m in August. Chlorophyll-a concentrations were higher than 10㎍/l at all samples. Total phosphorus concentration was in a range of 0.020∼0.027mg/l which is at the approximate value of 0.03 mg/l, the general critical level of eutrophication. These results indicate that Daechung Reservoir is in an eutrophic state except some temporary times and restricted sites. Phosphorus uptake rate of M. aeruginosa was higher in the water from the epilimnion than in the hypolimnion and also higher under light condition than under dark condition. Therefore, phosphorus uptake rate appears to depend on cellular phosphorous content and light condition, a meaning of endergonic process. Phosphorus was the most frequently limiting nutrient: phosphorus was limiting algal gowth in April and May, nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements were the limiting factors for algae in August, and trace elements in September. If a fast growing alga, M, aeruginosa, is used as a test organism for assaying AGP, in vivo fluorescence instead of dry weight can be measured for algal biomass and incubation period can be reduced from traditional 14 days to 7 days.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

현대 사회는 인터넷 사용자의 증가와 제반 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 사회활동 전반에 대한 인터넷 기반 서비스가 이루어지고 있다. 이런 과정에서 발생한 중요한 문제중의 하나가 불특정 다수가 자유로이 통신을 하기 위해 개발된 인터넷상에서 사용자의 보안을 보장해주는 것이다. 최근에 와서 인터넷상에서 개인 정보유출로 인한 많은 피해가 발생하면서 정보보호에 대한 관심이 더욱 증가하고 있다. 현재 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 많은 보안 관련 시스템들이 개발되고 있으며, 세계 각 국의 표준 기구에서는 이러한 시스템에 대한 등급을 평가하고 있다. 각 등급을 살펴보면, 시스템 개발 초기부터 정형기법을 이용하여 개발되어진 시스템들이 고등급을 획득하고 있다. 국내에서도 한국정보보호센터(KISA)에서 보안 시스템에 대한 등급을 평가를 수행하면서 정형기법을 이용하여 땅세 검증된 시스템에게 K5이상의 고등급을 부여하고 있다. 이러한 등급을 살펴보면, 시스템의 기능을 정형명세언어를 이용해서 명세하는 부분을 공통적으로 요구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 높은 보안 등급의 IPSec 관련 시스템을 개발하기 위해서 정형명세언어인 Z를 이용해서 IPSec의 동작을 명세하였다. The modern community is moving across the whole areas based on Internet with the growing Internet users and the great technological development. One of the important things that can be problem in this community is that the Internet should assure secure networking and security mechanism for the many security-ignorant users. Recently, Due to a lot of damages like a personal drain, security concerns is growing very rapidly. Now, many security application system is developing to solve this problem and each of the world standard organizations is evaluating these security application systems. Considering the each levels, we found that system using formal methods from the initial system development process acquired the high-level. In domestic, KISA manages the evaluation of security system and gives the higher than K5 to the system that specified and verified using formal methods. In this all levels, it should be required the system specification part. In this paper, we specified IPSec using formal specification language Z to develope the high-level IPSec system.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the combined use of paste resin with sealant as an adhesive of the indirect bonding. The resin bases made of lighcured resin were bonded to the bovine incisors at a distance of 0.0, 0.2 or 0.4mm using the sealant only or the mixture of sealant and paste resin. Bond strength of each group was measured using universal testing machine. The results were as follows: 1. The bond strength was reduced in both groups as the distance between enamel surface and resin base increased. 2. The bond strength showed no statistical difference between two groups in case the distance between enamel surface and resin base was 0.0mm. 3. In case the distance between enamel surface and resin base was 0.2 or 0.4mm, the sealant with paste resin group showed significantly higher bond strength than the sealant only group. The results of the present study indicate that the use of paste resin with sealant may be desirable as an adhesive in indirect bonding, particularly in case a gap is suspected between enamel surface and resin base.

항암제로 사용되어 온 아위를 사용하여 극성에 따른 용매추출 분획을 얻고 TPA로 처리된 HL-60 세포를 사용하여 기질부착 억제실험을 수행한 결과, ethyl acetate (EA)층에서 가장 강한 부착억제효과가 있음을 알아 내었기에 ethyl acetate (EA)층을 다시 ethyl acetate (EA), hexane(HEX), ethyl ether (EE)로 추출한 뒤 3회 chromatography하여 아위 순수활성물질인 asadisulphide를 분리해 내었다. 이 순수활성물질을 가지고 HL-60 암세포에 대한 부착 억제실험을 수행한 결과 asadisulphide는 최소농도 2 ㎍/ml에서 HL-60 세포의 부착을 98%억제하였다. 또한 assdisulphide는 HL-60 세포에 대해 ED50값은 2.6 ㎍/ml이었으며, 20 ㎍/ml 농도 이하에서 세포독성이 없고 항암효과가 있다는 사실을 규명하였다. Asadisulphide were purified from Ferrula assafoetida by organic solvent extraction and chromatography. Its inhibitory effects on the TPA-induced adherence of HL-60 cells was analyzed. Since ethyl acetate extracts of F. assafoetida has the strongest inhibitory effect on adherence of HL-60 cells, it was reextracted with ethyl acetate, hexane, and ethyl ether and chromatographed three times to isolate asadisulphide. At the minimum concentration of 2㎍/ml, asadisulphide inhibited adherence of 98% of HL-60 cells that have been treated with TPA. It also showed anti-cancer effect with no cytotoxity in the ED50 value of 20㎍/ml.

This study was attempted to investigate the effect of Jueryeong Tang(JRT) on renal failure of the rabbit treated with folate. Serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and serum uric acid in folate-treated rabbits were markedly increased and creatinine clearance was decreased by comparing with the normal group. JRT(900㎎/㎏) given orally produced significant reduction in concentration of both serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen by comparing with the corresponding folate-treated group. while did increased clearly in creatinine clearance. The morphological changes of arcuate arteries and glomeruli evoked by folate treatment were almost returned to normal state after administration of JRT. (900㎎/㎏). These experimental results suggest that JRT may greatly improve renal failure of the rabbit induced by folate treatment.

This case was diagnosed as multiple cementoosseous dysplasia on the basis of clinical & radiological features but was diagnosed as ossifying fibroma on the basis of histopathological feature. The histopathologic features of the multiple cementoosseous dysplasia and cementoossif ying fibroma have common features of cementum, fibrous network and bone. Multiple cementoosseous dysplasia is reactive lesion and shows restricted lesion size, occurred on anterior and posterior tooth of the mandible and needs no treatement except periodic follow up. But Cementoossifying fibroma is the true neoplasm and grows continuously and needs surgical removal. The final diagnosis of the multiple cementoosseous dysplasia requires good correlation of the clinical, histopathological, and radiological features.

최근 면역저하환자의 증가와 함에 국내에서도 점차 침습성, 파종성 Fusarium 감염증 보고가 증가하고 있다. Fusarium 감염은 아스페르길루스 감염과 유사한 임상양상을 보이지만 특징적인 피부병변을 동반하고 혈액배양에서 균이 분리되는 경우가 더 많다. 저자들은 급성 림프구성 백혈병으로 진단받고 치료중인 30세 남자 환자에서 중증의 호중구 감소 상태에서 비특이적인 피부병변을 동반한 파종성 Fusarium 혈류감염을 경험하였기에 국내 증례 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 환자의 초기 피부병변은 구진에서 시작하여 주로 소포성 병변과 일부 통증을 동반한 결절 등 여러 형태로 나타났고, Tzank 도말검사 양성으로 비정형 수두로 오인되었다. 이후 피부병변은 농포로 변하였고, 혈액배양 및 피부 조직검사에서 파종성 Fusarium 감염으로 진단받았다. 환자는 liposomal amphotericin B, voriconazole 병합요법과 G-CSF 투여, 과립구 수혈을 받았으나, 호중구 감소증에서 회복하지 못하고 급성 호흡곤란증후군과 다장기 기능부전으로 사망하였다. 본 증례는 파종성 Fusarium 감염의 경우에도 수두양 병변으로 비특이적인 양상으로 나타날 수 있으므로, 감별진단을 위해 적극적으로 혈액배양과 피부조직검사를 시행해야 함을 보여준다. Recently, we experienced a case of disseminated fusarial blood stream infection with varicelloid skin eruptions, who had suffered from persistent neutropenic fever after salvage chemotherapy for relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Neutropenia continued in spite of G-CSF and granulocyte transfusion, and he failed to respond to conventional amphotericin B initially, and then liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole combination therapy. Disseminated fusariosis can be diagnosed by blood cultures in 50% of patients and present skin lesions in more than 80% of patients. So, typical skin lesions are important clue to diagnose of the disseminated fusariosis. However, many skin lesions in immunocompromised hosts are due to various infectious and non-infectious causes. So, this case shows that it is important to obtain biopsy specimens of skin lesions for histopathologic examination, culture and staining. Here, we present our case with the review of the literatures reported in our country, so far.
