심박변이율의 감소는 심근 경색 환자에서 예후의 악화와 관련되어 있다. 심박변이율 중 very low frequency가 심부전환자의 예후를 판단할 수 있는 독립적 인자로서 사용이 가능하다고 보고된 바 있으며, 심실의 압력 증가에 반응해서 생성되는 B-type natriuretic peptide가 심근 경색의 예후 인자로서 사용할 수 있음 역시 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 심근경색 모델을 제작하여 일정의 회복 기간을 거친 다음 다시 일정 기간의 스트레스를 겪게 한 후 심박변이율의 변화 및 심실 조직에서의 BNP 발현 정도를 비교하여 스트레스에 의한 영향을 관찰하고자 하였다. Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐 15마리를 대상으로 하였다. 실험동물은 인위적 스트레스 및 수술을 받지 않은 대조군(CON, n=5), 심근경색 수술을 받은 후 restraint stress를 받지 않은 군(MI+No Stress, n=5), 심근경색 수술을 받은 후 1주일 동안 restraint stress를 받은 군(MI+Stress, n=5)으로 분류하였다. 심근경색 모델 제작 직후 15분 이상 심전도의 변화를 기록하였으며, 2개월 정도 후 심근경색 수술을 받은 동물을 두 군으로 나누어 그 중 한 군에는 1주일 동안 restraint stress를 가한 후 restraint stress를 가하지 않은 동물과 심박변이율을 비교 분석하였다. 심실 조직은 좌심실 전벽 부위의 위축을 관찰할 수 있었고, 대식세포에 의하여 응고, 괴사된 심근세포의 탐식과 혈관이 풍부한 육아조직 및 섬유 변화를 볼 수 있었다. 심박변이율은 심근경색 수술을 받은 직후 심박수는 유의한 증가를 보였고, standard deviation of the normal to normal intervals (SDNN), very low frequency (VLF) 및 low frequency (LF)의 유의한 감소를 보였다. 심근경색 수술을 받았던 동물에서 두 달 정도의 회복 기간을 거친 후 스트레스를 받지 않은 군은 심박수 및 기타 심박변이율 분석에서 SDNN 값을 제외하고는 정상군과 유의한 차이를 관찰할 수 없었던 반면 1주일 동안 스트레스를 받은 군에서는 심박수가 다시 유의하게 증가했을 뿐만 아니라 SDNN, VLF 및 LF 역시 정상군과 유의한 차이를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 심근경색 동물에 대해 1주일 동안 스트레스를 가한 결과 심박변이율이 감소하고 심실에서의 BNP 발현은 더욱 증가하여 악화함을 보여주고 있다. Diminished heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with less favorable prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). It has been reported that very low frequency (VLF) power in HRV analysis is an independent risk predictor in patients with congestive heart failure and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) can be used as a prognostic factor of MI. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether stress has an effect to the changes of BNP expression and/or heart rate variability in MI model in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: control group (CON), MI group (MI+No Stress), and MI followed by stress group (MI+Stress). MI+Stress group rats were raised for a two month recovery period after the operation, followed by being exposed to restraint stress for 2 hours per day for 1 week. Electrocardiogram was recorded after the operation and the last day after 1 week of stress. The frequency components of HRV were calculated in the frequency domain such as VLF, low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and so on. In HRV analysis, standard deviation of the normal to normal intervals (SDNN) was significantly reduced in both groups compared to the control group. VLF and LF also were significantly reduced in MI+Stress group compared to the control groups. In addition, BNP expression in western blotting was shown the strongest bands in MI+ Stress group among experimental groups. These results suggest that BNP and HRV were aggravated by stress in MI rat model. (Korean J Str Res 2010;18:275∼285)

Histone deacetylase 3 is selectively involved in L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This is the first report that L(3)mbt-like 2 (L3MBTL2) specifically interacts with the histone deacetylase domain of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) via its MBT domain. Here, we show that L3MBTL2 selectively interacts with HDAC3, but not other class I HDACs. An in vitro peptide-binding assay demonstrated the specific association of HDAC3 with methylated histone-K20 tail and L3MBTL2. Furthermore, depletion of HDAC3 resulted in a decrease of methylated K20-H4, as well as an increase in acetylated histone H3. Consequently, HDAC3 knock-down selectively suppressed L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression. Taken together, our results reveal the concerted action of both HDAC3 and L3MBTL2 in histone deacetylation and methylation-dependent transcriptional repression.</P><P><B>Structured summary</B></P><P>MINT-7719975: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) and <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>colocalize</I> (MI:0403) by <I>fluorescence microscopy</I> (MI:0416)</P><P>MINT-7719941, MINT-7719921: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>binds</I> (MI:0407) to <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-7719991: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-7719958: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>anti tag coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0007)</P><P>MINT-7719897: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>two hybrid</I> (MI:0018)</P>

Kim Young-rang has been known as poet who commanded elaborated type, meter, soft tone harmony of voice. Manufacture do poetry which have self-regulating structure through conscious calculation and materialize own inside sensuously. And his interest about shi-jo and pansori is reflected in production of poetry. He creates four line poetry criticizing existent poetry style(shi-jo and pansori and so on)in poetry´s circles in the 1930s that form of free poetry catches seat already, and plays a variation four line poetry learning forms and groped new modernistic poetry form. He established peculiar sensitivity of individual into compensation of shape and create chard free verse of new form. These features that shows in poetry form that defend self from colony actual broken external order is revealed can be seen. It is because construct space of imagination and found psychological pupil of the eye in to close loss persimmon formed on inside looking away actuality that can not accomplish own dream. Therefore, that appears in his poetry sensual and the trillion brazier fortune worlds can see that is product of injustice mind to look away colony actuality. Kim Young-rang did not compromise in colony actuality and could keep own inside to be upright through writing such poetry.

Scopolamine and hyoscyamine which belong to tropane alkaloids are the pharmaceutically valuable anticholinergic drugs. In order to increase the productivities, the effects of elicitation were investigated during hairy root cultures of Scopolia parviflora. Biotic elicitors originated from 3 fungi and 1 yeast were prepared as homogenate and supernatant and added to 3-week-old cultures. Both of homogenate and supernatant of Candida albicans elicitors increased the scopolamine production. The production of hyoscyamine was enhanced by homogenate of Fusarium solani and supematant of C. albicans. Most of the other fungal elicitors were also improved on the tropane alkaloid production compared to non-treatment. Among the elicitors tested, C. albicans was proved the optimal biotic elicitor on tropane alkaloids production. These results will be served mass production of tropane alkaloids by large-scale production.

Steroid cell tumor is a rare ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor which accounts for 0.1% of all ovarian tumors. Until now, only 4 cases have been reported in domestic literatures. Steroid cell tumor often secrets testosterone and presents virilization in adult women or precocious puberty in children. Treatment is often performed by surgical removal, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, but completely accepted treatment was not existed. We experienced a case of steroid cell tumor, which was manifested by typical virilization in a 43-year old patient, who was previously performed hysterectomy and unilateral oophorectomy. So, we present with a brief review of the literatures.

Most automated cervical cancer screening systems are recognized through the feature extraction process by segmenting the cell image. There are problems such that an efficient segmentation of the cell image is difficult, and segmentation and feature extraction process takes long time. To solve these problems, PapNet system based on the artificial neural network was developed. However, it takes long time to recognize because huge amount of pixel-based features is inputted into neural network. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction technique which is based on the variable size block and makes use of the color information. The proposed technique can reduce running time by decreasing the input number of neural network by dividing the region of the cell around the center into blocks. This technique shows the low false negative error ratio and the high recognition ratio by color clustering which makes use of the position information and the similarity among homogeneous cells, and by variable size block in proportion to importance ratio of the information.

환경정의에 관한 충북지역 중·고등학생들의 의식 연구

강영복,송영미 한국지리환경교육학회 2003 한국지리환경교육학회지 Vol.11 No.3

본 연구에서는 환경 정의(正義)적 의식을 확산시켜 환경문제를 해결하고 환경 부정의(不正義)가 없는 사회를 이룩하고자 중·고등 학생의 환경 정의에 관한 의식을 조사 분석하였다. 자료 수집은 청주지역 중ㆍ고등학교 학생 548명을 대상으로 2002년 7월 8일~7월 20일 사이에 설문조사를 통하여 실시되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다: 조사 대상 학생의 환경정의 개념에 대한 인식에 있어서 환경 피해 제외자에 대한 인식이 낮았는데 이는 학생들이 환경오염에 의한 피해를 받지 않을 수 있는 사람들이 있다는 것에 대한 인식이 부족하다는 것을 나타낸다. 환경정의론적 시각에서의 환경문제 인식에 있어서 학생들은 노약자 등 저항력이 약하고 건강이 나쁜 사람들이 피해를 더 많이 받는다는 것은 아주 높게 인식하고 있는 반면에 소득이 높거나 권력이 있는 사람일수록 환경피해를 적게 받을 수 있다는 것에 대한 인식은 아주 낮았다. 이상의 결과 다음과 같이 제언하고자 한다: 첫째, 환경교육을 실시하는 교사들은 학생들에게 실생활에서 발생하는 환경피해 사례와 갈등 상황을 가급적 많이 제시하고 개인과 집단의 이해관계에 따라 피해의 정도가 달라질 수 있다는 것과 환경 피해를 보는 시각을 넓혀 주어야 한다. 이러한 교육을 통해 실천적인 환경지식을 함양하여 환경부정의나 환경 불평등에 대한 비판과 올바른 방향제시 등의 능력을 갖출 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 둘째, 심각한 환경문제에 직면한 우리는 교육을 통해 의식을 전환함으로써 환경정의적인 관점에서 환경문제를 보고 해결할 수 있는 실천적 능력을 갖게 됨으로써 인간사회에서 정의와 평화를 실현하고 자연과 생명 공동체가 함께 하는 사회를 이룩할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. This study was conducted to analyze the recognition of the environmental justice of middle and high school students in Chungbuk district. The survey was done using questionnaires in 2002, and the subjects were 548 students. The results of this study were as follows: Environmental recognition in terms of environmental justice is low. The recognition of environmental justice was related to sex, grade, regional character. This study suggest as follows: We teachers should suggest damage cases and conflict situations in actual life as many as possible. Our education should broaden the viewpoint of environmental damage and provide practical knowledge of environment so as to poster the competence to criticise and suggest positive alternatives to environmental injustice and environmental inequality.

Background : Traumatic brain injury is a multifaceted injury that involves direct mechanical damage, intraparenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage, breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, excitotoxicity, and ischemia. Even though much investigations were performed, acceptable mechanical informations were rare. The aim of this study was to reveal the migration of antigen presenting cells associated with inflammation and the expression pattern of GFAP associated with gliotic scars in cerebral cortex of rats after cryoinjury. Material & Method : A total of 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300 g, 2 months old, were used throughout the experiments. To injure the brain, rats were anesthetized for surgery with 3.5% chloral hydrate(1 ㎖/100 g, intraperitoneally); the frontal bones were exposed by elevating the skin; and craniectomies were performed adjacent to the central suture, midway between lambda and bregma. A cryoinjury was then created by applying a cold probe (3-mm-diameter steel rod chilled in liquid nitrogen) to the left frontal cortex (ipsilateral cortex) for 1 minute. Rats were sacrificed at 6 hours, 1, 4, 7 and 14 days postsurgery (n=3, per time point), and three rats were sacrificed as normal controls. Serial brain cryosections were made by cryostat. For immunohistochemistry, brain tissue sections were allowed to react with mouse anti-rat MHC class II antibody(1:500), mouse anti-rat ED2 antibody(1:500), and mouse anti-rat GFAP antibody(1:200). Results : MHC class II positive dendritic cells were absent in normal cerebral cortex parenchyme, but were more 16 times number in injured rats at 7 days after cryoinjury. ED2 positive macrophages were rare in normal cerebral cortex parenchyme, and were more 14 times number in injured rats at 4 days after cryoinjury. GFAP positive astrocytes were not observed in normal rats, and increased suddenly at 4 days rats after cryoinjury. GFAP positive neurons were not expressed in normal rats, and in cryoinjured rats. Conclusion : In conclusion, the above results suggest that the increases of the number of the two kinds of the antigen-presenting cells affect cell-mediated immune responses and phagocytosis, and GFAP positive cells attends in the formation of gliotic scars.

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) was first described as a specific clinical entity in 1940 and thought to be universally fatal. Maternal mortality in the past approached 75 percent. However early diagnosis and prompt delivery have dramatically improved the prognosis, and maternal mortality rate is now less than 18 percent. A early diagnosis, a prompt delivery, and a intensive supportive care have improved maternal and perinatal outcome. We report a 30—year—old woman at 37 weeks gestation who have multiple complications including acute pancreatitis in AFLP. She was complicated with acute renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, duodenal ulcer bleeding, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, pulmonary edema and acute pancreatitis.
